News: New Video from Envy On The Coast!
Screamer 2:51:00 News , Upcoming Tour Edit
Alternative rock duo, Envy On The Coast, have released the video for “Virginia Girls”; the most recent single from their 2017 Equal Vision Records EP, Ritual. The video, which premiered with Pop Matters, is an ode to the boredom that accompanies a suburban upbringing and the resulting mischief that young adults often find themselves lost in as they cope with the frustration of feeling trapped. Ryan Hunter and Brian Byrne (the two members of Envy On The Coast) wrote the treatment for, directed, cast, shot and edited the “Virginia Girls” video. According to Byrne, “We've had a lot of long talks about the trappings of suburbia and this song and video presented a great opportunity to visually present some of those ideas”. You can watch the video for “Virginia Girls” now and stream the whole Ritual EP on Spotify.
“Virginia Girls” was released in correlation with the announcement that Envy On The Coast will be embarking on a 4 day holiday tour of the northeastern United States this December with special guest Rare Futures and more support acts to be named later. The tour will kick off at the Middle East Downstairs in Boston on December 20th and stop in Asbury Park and Brooklyn before culminating in a hometown show at Mulcahy’s in Wantaugh, Long Island on December 23rd. All ticket info can be found here.
A statement from the band regarding the tour:
We've decided to close this year out with a short run of holiday shows on the East Coast. Our good friend Billy Rymer (Dillinger Escape Plan), who played drums on 'Ritual', will be joining us behind the kit. These will likely be our only live appearances until the spring of 2018 so come join us and our friends in Rare Futures, and Save Face as we spread some holiday cheer just in time for the apocalypse. See you there.

He did this work in Papara, the very town in which we reside and conduct our own translation work. Chills immediately went down my spine as I realized God's hand in our history here.

A lot of people ask me why I smile so much. When I was 19 or 20 I was working at General Electric. We had some conflicts with individuals trying to bring in the union.

Image guidance (including ART) is an essential component of radiotherapy, ensuring treatment delivery uncertainties are minimised. However, there are remaining uncertainties that should be assessed to ensure the clinical target volume receives the intended dose.
On Target 2 recommends the best evidence-based practices for IGRT and. provides guidelines on how individual centres can implement and/or optimise image-guidance processes locally.
The report states: ‘Only by including these principles in routine clinical practice can we ensure that patients receive high-quality and effective radiotherapy treatments.’
On Target 2 was produced by a multi-professional team led by Dr Kevin Franks, Dr Helen McNair and Professor Marcel van Herk. Dr , who co-chaired the group, said: ‘It is great to see On Target 2 in print. It has been a very collaborative piece of work and many people have contributed. Thank you to all who have done so. We very much hope the document is helpful to radiotherapy departments now and in the future’.

Excellent studio that I have worked with on several occasions, they have a great team of professionals and gear. Without a doubt a great team to work with !!!!!
My experience with MasterWaves was fire!!! We made a single remotely since I'm in Japan and they're in Colombia, but it went so smoothly. We made a reggaeton song mixed in Spanish and Japanese. They have the ability to project how you want your song to be. Super reliable people, too. Can't wait to make more music with them!!
I regret it!

Recording and producing with him was also a learning experience, some of the stuff I learned with him I still apply today. He's engaging, he flows with the music and you can feel it; his ideas are amazing and I can only say I fully trust in his work. He will definitely impact you and your music positively.

So why is Northern Lights investing in a new 4K camera for their clients?  It basically comes down to three immediate benefits:
2.  4K offers multiple framing options in HD
This means you can shoot with a single 4K camera and reframe it in post with no image loss.  For example, if you shoot someone in a wide shot in 4K, you can easily turn it into a medium shot and the image will stay sharp if you are editing in 1080 HD.  That means one 4K camera acts like 2 cameras in the field.  That's pretty impressive.
You always want to start with the highest quality footage you can acquire.  It makes a difference no matter what your final output or distribution format is and lets face it, quality is what sets us apart.


(Ridgefield, WA) It was a tale of two halves if you will yesterday in Ridgefield as the Spudders hosted the Sehome Mariners. And for the second year in a row the Spudders were denied a trip to the state semi-finals.
First half was a good half for the Spudders as they tallied two goals and played some pretty solid defense in taking a 2-1 lead into the locker room.
Second half was nothing like the first. The Mariners found a lot more energy and put constant pressure on the Spudders as they found the back of the net 5 times. To his credit young freshman keeper for the Spudders, Joe Lindbo, got his hands on four of the shots only to see the ball trickle off his hands and find the back of the net.
After the game I chatted with some of the Spudder players and as hard is it was to lose the game they all agreed on this day the best team won.

Hi Alan, I’m not sure what difference the colour makes but Crescendo and GNP Crescendo are variants of our one trademark. GNP stands for Gene Norman Presents and Crescendo was the name of the club where some original recordings were made. Unless there is a hard date line where one is used and then the other takes over, the difference is cosmetic.
Hello, Mr. Norman. I recently saw a documentary featurette on the subject of Snader Telescriptions, which was wonderfully hosted by your father. Are you familiar with the featurette? Have you any idea when it was filmed?

Some volunteer firefighters also perform CPR and first-aid training. In some places, volunteer firefighters provide the public with information about their work aMany volunteer fire departments are fac. The Volunteer Firefighter Alliance, a national organization of volunteer firefighters, s and resources to help volunteer firefightersincludes 49 state-based firefighter associations.
The cost of becoming a volunteer firefighter varies by jurisdiction. Some departments offer tuition reimbursement to recruits. Others provide housing. However, most volunteer firefighters are volunteers, and as such, receive little or no compensation.
Although volunteer firefighters receive no pay, some cities and towns will reimburse them for some of their expenses and provide benefits, like worker’s compensation and health insurance. Depending on the city, these benefits can range from a monthly stipend to a yearly entitlement. Some cities also pay a small stipend for answering duty pages.

Moreover, they may also receive worker’s compensation,. In many jurisdictions, volunteer firefighters may also receive length of service awards.
firefighters are volunteers. The National Volunteer Fire Council and Volunteer Firefighter Alliance represent the needs of volunteer firefighters on a national level and provide advocacy, education, and resources. These organizations also work with state firefighter associationVolunteer firefighters are subject to federal and state tax laws, just like other workers. However, they are treated as employees if they are under a payer’s control, and are considered employees for Federal tax purposes.

The chullet has dearly departed from my face.
 It was tough shaving it and seeing a strange looking dude in the mirror.
As I cried, I realized that I was actually being given an incredible gift, the gift of empathy.
One of my biggest childhood dreams was to grow a beard.
I was a late bloomer, I couldn’t grow a beard until I was 20. But, since then, a full beard, a full goatee, even the modified Dutch goatee.
It has served as both a built in scarf and a handy to go container.
Over the years, the chullet has survived the beard-bashers, the haters who yanked it and said mean things.
It survived split ends and high winds.
In fact, I can live BECAUSE of that.
AND SO I SMILE!
I have also been sent a lot of great beard solutions from friends…fake facial hair, face paint.
I’m going to have some fun with those, I’m thinking that right now, my big, wide open face cries out for a glittery unicorn.

At DC White, we have decades of experience in solving piping stress-related issuesnuclear and process plant, automotive, marine and renewable energy. It is this breadth of experience that enables us to identify potential difficulties. For example we still encounter piping designs that reproduce the errors made over forty years ago, which lead to events such as the Flixborough disaster. Inexperience can lead to failure.
Our long experience in pipe design and pipe stress analysis led to our appointment to design the piping and support brackets for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, the London Jubilee Underground Line, and to undertake analysis of the sprinkler systems for the St. Pancras station platform and undercroft (see case studies). Brackets? Mundane? No - when you have explored the many fire-fighting scenarios for water pipes and water hammer, you gain a great respect for the humble bracket.
There are many reasons why clients use us for piping engineering again and again, but perhaps the most important is our ability to combine practical nous, gained from a wide range of real process safety cases, with a high degree of academic insight and the latest powerful software tools.
We provide a fully independent design substantiation service and can complete static, dynamic, seismic and fatigue analysis to national and international standards, e.g. BS EN 13480-3:2012 (previously BS806) and ASME B31.3. We are also experienced in design for water hammer and steam hammer effects.
...we have found the DC White analysis and report to be well written and comprehensive.

At mid frequency all connected capacitors acts as short circuit. Hence AC equivalent using JFET becomes,
Figure 2: Small signal equivalent circuit
Voltage Gain ($A_V$):
$V_O = I_O * R_D$
But $I_O = - Ids$
$V_O = - Ids * R_D$ ....
Apply KCL at drain terminal,
$Ids = I _1 + g_m Vgs$
$I_1 = \frac{V_O}{r_d}$
$Ids = \frac{V_O}{r_d} + g_m Vgs$ .....
substitute equation (2) in (1),
$V_O = - (\frac{V_O}{r_d} + g_m Vgs) R_D$
$V_O + \frac{V_O}{r_d} R_D = - g_m Vgs R_D$
$V_O ( 1+ \frac{ R_D}{r_d} ) = - g_m Vgs R_D$
$V_O ( \frac {r_d + R_D}{r_d} ) =- g_m Vgs R_D$
$V_O = - g_m Vgs (\frac{R_D r_d}{r_d + R_D}) $
$V_O = - g_m Vgs (R_D || r_d)$
From input side we get vin = vgs,
hence, $V_O = - g_m Vin (R_D || r_d)$
$A_V = \frac{V_O}{Vin} = -g_m(R_D || r_d)$
Input Resistance (Rin):
$Rin = \frac{Vin}{Iin}$
Since Iin passes only through $R_1||R_2$,
$Rin = \frac{Vin}{Iin} = R_1||R_2$
Output Resistance ($R_O$):
$R_O$ can be obtained using following steps:
i. Set Vin=0.
ii. Connect and imaginary voltage source $V_O$ that delivers current $I_O$.

Rural entrepreneurship on a broad scale can be termed as an opportunity for the farmers or the rural entrepreneurs to migrate from rural areas or semi-urban areas to Urban areas. The primary reason behind the migration of rural entrepreneurs is the lack of education, financial problems, insufficient technical and conceptual ability.
Rural Entrepreneurship is a catalyst in any economy. In a country like India entrepreneurial development in the rural sector is of pivotal importance because of the following reasons:
Rural Entrepreneurship provides employment opportunities. Being labour extensive it has a high potential for solving the growing problems of unemployment
The migration of the rural population can be kept under check as with Rural Entrepreneurship the infrastructural development could be facilitated, the gap between per capita income of rural and urban population could be met, and evils like poverty, slum and pollution could be dealt with
Lastly Rural Entrepreneurship creates opportunities for rural educated youth to promote it as a career
Rural Entrepreneurship is a challenge for Indian farmers because of family and society challenges, lack of education and technical know-how, lack of policy information and poor or no assistance and guidance.
Since our inception, we have worked very closely with farmers and for farmers. Our aim is to provide them credible knowledge about agriculture, farming and gardening and provide them with the best quality of organic seeds.We are also implementing a buy-back scheme for the farmers who buy their supplies from us and cultivate under the guidance of our in-house agri-experts comprising of renowned agriculture university professors and agro technique gurus.
Consumers across cities have appreciated and acknowledged us and this has motivated us in diversifying our presence across tier-2 markets. We look forward to invest our funding’s in expansion and growth plans as we foresee an enormous market opportunity there, which is untapped or at a very nascent stage and can be built in a better way.
Another surprising trend that was observed during last monsoon sowing season was that many orders included Organic as well as Commercial Hybrid seeds which were bought by the urban population and was delivered to their native cities/villages pan India. Thus, we came to a consensus that the buyers with a farming background in these cities are using online portals like ours as a tool to compare the price of the agriculture products from the local market and also trust the company to provide better quality products from well-established and renowned brands.
We have also started weekly gardening workshops in Pune and Mumbai with the aim of spreading and sharing credible knowledge to the consumers and raising awareness of products and methods available to grow easily and go green. The workshops are organised to give the gardener’s hands-on experience in vegetable gardening, ornamental gardening, and composting. This 3-hour session is action packed with informative lectures, hands-on practical’s and take away start-up kit for organic vegetable gardening in containers at home window grills, balconies, terrace, and backyards. Five workshops conducted till date has received an excellent response, as people have gained in-depth knowledge about gardening and have also demanded to conduct more workshops venturing into creating trending Terrariums and Bonsai workshops.
Shortly, most this investment will be going towards fulfilling the demands of the agriculture sector. We are partnering with all the major commercial seeds brands in India and adding more than 2000 new varieties of vegetable and flower seeds. With the increasing demand, we are launching our Android and IOS app in coming months to penetrate the rural market and provide the best quality supplies at the lowest prices across the country.
This would ensure a better yield and instil financial security for the farmers who have been facing lots of issues due to the varying market prices for their yields. A step like this has been unprecedented in India and will certainly help the farmers and make them confident enough to grow better varieties of seeds and using quality and organic inputs which do not harm the crop. The other chunk of the investment would be syphoned towards improving the infrastructure and adding essential gardening products.
Ugaoo is also setting up a gardening professionals team which would cater to the urban population and set up edible gardens and terrace gardens for our Pune, Mumbai, and Delhi customers to promote our ‘Grow your own food’ campaign.

It seems that for many, the vaccine has an agenda, of course not the vaccine itself, but I am positive you have been hearing all kinds of craziness on behalf of that.
How about if you let others do whatever they want to do without judgment? Instead of having an opinion about what the neighbor does or believes is the right choice. Think for yourself, think about what you want to do, and let others do what they want to do. We will all have to put up with the consequences of our own choices and be good with them.
Remember when you follow someone else’s beliefs, then you are following another’s limitations.

I have spoken with my hosting company on live chat 3 times and gotten 3 different answers.
I'm not sure what to do with hosting. I'm presently on a shared account with unlimited bandwidth. I know CPU usage could be an issue. I can't exceed 25% usage for more than 90 seconds...
Whatever happens, 2 things I can't do is:
pay overages
There have been many threads on the different types of hosting, i.e., comparing free, shared, reseller, VPS and dedicated. Perhaps I can summarize:
Reseller: Same as shared but higher cost due to multiple control panels
Dedicated: Most expensive as the entire server is dedicated to you use; best support (IF managed)
From this description, I think you are beyond the Shared/Reseller categories. Indeed, even the VPS with sufficient RAM to support the surges may be strained by the excessive demands of Joomla (it's been reported to be a memory hog - something I can't confirm or deny). That leaves dedicated which, by the funding that client is burning on his TV ads, is probably the most cost-effective way to go (and well within the client's budget). Just be SURE to get good support from your host as VPS/dedicated need a babysitter 7/24/365.
I'm beating around a bunch of VPS options. My current host is one that that i'm definitely worried about moving to vps with. I'm looking for fully managed server and would like to be around $40 a month with cpanel. I want a host that is really flexible on up and downgrades. I think a low end vps is sufficient. I just want good reliable support and no craziness if I run over my limits and can verify that once im notified.
In your situation I would recommend getting started with small VPS. </s> Hello everyone,
Need some advice. Starting a website that would include a classified section and also include auctions. I have no programming skills for such a task, I have a design background. I was thinking of using a WordPress back end with auction and classified plugins for the site. Wondering what the thoughts were on this and if it could work? Im pretty sure it can but maybe some with experience in auction sites may have some thoughts.
WordPress does have a lot of add-ons, and there will probably be ones for the sort of thing you need, so in principle, this should be quite doable. All the same, using a system you don't understand from a code point of view, especially with add-ons etc., has its downsides. What are you going to do if things break, add-ons misfire, updates go wrong etc? That's my worry with this sort of thing. If this is a big business task, it would be safer to hire a company to build and oversee the site for you.
While I’m sure you could cobble something together with wordpress plugins, I think your project is ambitious for someone with no programming experience. Ralph raises a good point. What happens if something breaks or if a plugin does not install correctly and you have to get under the hood to 2-2011 15:56

There's 2 workarounds for this.
Solution #1 you need to be running at least 10.6 Snow Leopard and use an Airport Extreme base station or TimeCapsule as your router. It sends packets over Bonjour that keep the connection alive in sleep mode and will wake the machine when there's traffic over Ethernet (Wake on LAN) or WiFi (Wake on Wireless) to your Mac.
Wake on LAN is configured at the Power settings. Go to the Apple Menu -> System Preferences then click on "Energy Saver" -- click the checkbox next to "Wake for Ethernet network access" to enable it.

How I know I’m Right » « Learn From My Mistake!
Most were happy… Never Moore.
Some are thoughtful… Never Moore.
So it’s less than perfect timing? It’s a win, we can’t ignore!
Some did right… but never Moore!
The Bad News? Alabama Chief Justice Roy “Ten Commandments” Moore has ordered marriage licenses for same sex couples. The Good News? They are ignoring him, and couples started getting married today (Oh, there’s also a poll at that link).e’sAs of 2 p.m. 29 of those couples got married in Big Spring Park.
As you probably know by now, the US Supreme Court has allowed same-sex marriages to go ahead in Alabama (Thomas and Scalia, of course, dissenting).
Oh, yeah–that was what was great about this. Moore’s order was an intended end-around, arguing that the probate judges were under his state authority, and must obey him over the federal ruling (which, he said, bound the state’s attorney general, but not his judges). In the ostensible name of law and order (and tyranny of the majority), we have a state chief justice saying that the supreme court doesn’t control his state.
Except, he has not been ignored. Many probate judges in Alabama are following his directive and not issuing marriage licenses.
The Alabama Supreme Court has a long history of defying the SCOTUS, and always on civil rights issues.
True, Shripathi Kamath–but every same sex marriage there was today was one more than in the past history of Alabama. And in at least one earlier state, the fact of “a bubble of marriages” that would be treated differently was an important argument in not denying equal treatment.
If your position is that something is better than nothing, and that same-sex marriage is inevitable, then yes. What is infuriating is that even the force of law is being resisted. It is one thing to bring down legal barriers, but when they have to be further supplemented by force, the victory is costlier thereby draining valuable reserves.
Unless there is a severe punishment for this, why won’t wingnuts continue to embark upon this? After all, what has it cost Moore by defying the SCOTUS?
I’m glad to hear that Moore is being defied. His contempt of a federal ruling ought to get him fired.
There are already suits filed, and there will be more. I am hopeful that there actually will be “severe punishment”. In a game of tectonic change, this is huge; in terms of people who have deserved equal treatment all along, it has to be achingly slow.
I was not Cuttlemoderating! No idea why (or even whether) it got hung up.
@10 and 11, Richard and Cuttlefish: PZ and Mano both have posts up about the spam filter acting wonky.
Semi-related anecdote: I used to work as a programmer on a large hospital software application. As part of the computerized patient registration process, the spouse’s information was also entered. In order to save the data entry clerk a few key strokes, the spouse’s sex was automatically filled in as the “opposite” of the patient. Several years ago that had to be reprogrammed to allow the clerk to enter the actual sex of the spouse. You might think that *sex* is not an important field to collect with regard to spouse. Name and contact information…yes. Sex… why? First, both spouses could be patients and the records would be linked. The correct sex would be necessary in each patient’s file. Second, there were also automated insurance claims. The identifying information for the policy holder and any patient being treated under that policy had to match the insurance company records in order for the claim to be paid. I’m guessing that insurance companies have had to modify their software too.
Now I’m imagining all of the pre-printed forms in places like Alabama where they are having to strike through gender-specific nouns and pronouns and hand write the appropriate word. Not that this is a bad thing, just interesting to contemplate as the paradigm changes.


Also, thhas been reduced by 15 percent, and referees are now mandated to target known slow players for in-position timing.

The idea is to use it to co-write stories via email.
The game master creates a small audience of players, let’s say 3, and assigns a code to each one of them: P1, P2, P3.
Players and GM agree on turns per week (called pace), the more turns per week the faster (and more time-consuming) the story runs.
GM writes using mailchimp, with conditionals.
Let’s say one character is psychic, so GM describes the aura of the people close to them. Just to this character.
Or what seems to be best friends, one character is trying to avenge the death of his family. They know their “friend” is the killer. So GM writes character memories, their anger and frustration and how they need to keep faking to get revenge in due time. Just to this character, and no one else.
Players receive a new newsletter, with GMs descriptions, personalized. None of the players know what others receive. They only see their point of view.
Players write their reactions and what they did, with dialogue. To DM alone.
This if/else fiction creates intrigue for co-writing of stories, and it works not only for players and GM, but since it’s online, I can also create an audience.
The audience needs to read all different POVs to get a sense of what’s going on. That’s why I call it braid fiction.
The audience knows more about the plot than players, like a reality show.


Okay, this is a little off-topic but the issue is an important one: filming incentives for Nevadaeconomic diversification for Nevada (and, in particular, Las Vegas) is a critical issue for the state. Over the past several years, other states have rushed to adopt filming incentive packages that provide tax credits, breaks, exemptions, or rebates; wage reimbursements; and production expense rebates that encourage production companies to choose them in deciding where to film. These incentives have, for the most part, been hugely successful in luring companies to spend millions of dollars in the incentive states, which has a huge direct and indirect effect on those states’ economies.
In 2005, only 4 states had incentives for film companies. In 2010, only 6 states – including Nevada – did not have some type of incentive. New Mexico, for example, has been at the forefront of enticing film production by giving a 25% rebate on all in-state expenditures. They also offer state loans of $2-15 million, in which the state takes a share of the profits, rather than interest. These incentives are powerful economic tools, having resulted in $1.50 in revenue for the state for every $1.00 spent by the State in incentives. And, of course, the program has had the effect of significant job creation in the state. These aggressive programs are wildly successful, having led to a boom in filming for both film (movies like Terminator: Salvation, Cowboys & Aliens, No Country For Old Men, Iron Man 2, and True Grit having been filmed there) and television (Breaking Bad, Crash, In Plain Sight) in the state.

Confirmation hearings are on today for President Bush's pick for the next Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates. Gates must now answer tough questions on his plan for Iraq and the Middle East. Americans want U.S. troops home. But they don't want to leave behind a terrorist haven.
Gates has a formidable resume, strong allies, and critics as well. We'll take you into the hearings, and get the inside story on Gates from top military and intelligenceCohen.
This hour On Point: Bush's nominee to head the Defense Department, Robert Gates.
"Donald Rumsfeld was known as one who was not good at listening at outsiders. Gates does have a lot of experience listening to others, and has a good reputation of doing that." Kevin Whitelaw
"We have to lower our expectations here. Two years is not a long time. A lot will depend on who he [Gates] keeps on as his principal advisers." William Cohen.
"[Gates] will serve at the pleasure of the President. He is not an independent actor. He will be in competition possibly with the State Department and NSC [National Security Council]." William Cohen.
" He [Gates] is similar to our worst past Secretaries of Defense like McNamara and Rumsfeld." Melvin Goodman
" I think the Bush administration is very lucky to have him. I don't know that many people who would have stepped in at this point." Janne Nolan

How does Image Optimization Work on Websites?
There are two categories of images: Images with story appeal and Images which demonstrate. An image with story appeal evokes curiosity and triggers the reader to read the post. It should be placed at the top of the post. Images that demonstrate create a visual explanation of text on the site or are used to simplify an explanation. Included in this category are charts, before and after pictures and product images. These visual elements can be used to boostSelecting an appropriate image relevant to the content is only part of the required effort. The other part is having a clear grasp of file formats, size, and optimization.
.jpg is the format preferred by photographers. It uses an algorithm to compress the image whilst maintaining the balance and quality of the image. However, compressing it also degrades the quality and removes the details, so it may be advisable to save a copy of the original image. Excessive compression causes distortion viewed as small checkered patterns on the image known as “jpeg noise”. Different photos need different compression so attempt different compressions whilst viewing the result in order to achieve a usable photo with a small file size.
popular due to the fact that they can accommodate a smaller color range, but are still ar animation which is still gaining popularity. Limit the use of these files in a web site since reading the text can be interrupted by the movement on the screen.
GIFs compress color well without losing data or distorting the image. In addition they allow us d or for logos. Compressing a photo using a .gif means switching from many colors to a few colors and can lead to a grainy look known as “dithering”. Gifs are good for logos, diagrams and infographics.
gif – good for line art, logos, images with solid areas of the same color and animation. Poor for photographs.
png – good for both photographs and line art. Good for compressing photos without losing detail. Con is that the photo files are larger than jpg files.
There are tools for analyzing web pages and testing page speed and they will generally give a report on which images should be compressed in order to enhance page loading speed.
Finding images on the internet is easy. Copying or downloading images without verifying the licensing can expose us to exorbitant legal fees in the form of copyright infringement penalties.

The mechanisms of karstification
Figure 1. Network of cracks and root marks in the epikarst. [Source: © M. Bakalowicz]
At the very beginning of its appearance on the surface of continents, the rock has very low permeability, which does not facilitate water infiltration. This permeability is mainly ensured by pores and cracks, sometimes and very locally by open fractures in accordance with the orientation of the stresses that generated them. Mechanical actions related to decompressions, plant roots, etc., widen the natural discontinuities near the surface (Figure 1), which promotes infiltration. Two mechanisms are at the basis of karst formation: the flow of water into the carbonate rock and the dissolution of carbonates by acidic water [1], characterizing the karstification potential (KP). KP is defined by two factors: the “engine” of groundwater flow and the “solvent”, which allows the dissolution of the rock by groundwater, and thus the expansion of some of the initial voids [2].
The engine is commonly gravity. The stronger the potential hydraulic gradient between the recharge surface and the emergence, the easier the groundwater flow will be, and therefore the more efficient the transport and disposal of dissolved materials. To gravity can be added a gradient of density, related to the mixture of fresh water and salt water (in the case of coastal aquifers), or of temperature due to the mixture between thermal water and fresh water.
The most common solvent is rainwater and all surface water that infiltrates, made acidic by the dissolution of CO2, which is highly soluble in water. The infiltration water takes on CO2 and becomes sufficiently acidic to dissolve the carbonate rocks at depth [3]. It transports and disperses CO2 underground, permanently maintaining its dissolving power. The Earth’s atmosphere contains little (partial pressure of CO2 : 0.035%) and rain dissolves about 30 mg/L of calcium carbonate CaCO3. But life in soils produces a lot of CO2 that accumulates there until it is 100 times more abundant than in outdoor air (pCO2: 2 to 4%), allowing the dissolution of 250 to 350 mg/L of CaCO3.
Different independent approaches show that a conventional network of karst conduits is built in a few tens of thousands of years, i.e. faster than a river network [5]. As a result, karst is very sensitive to geological events that may change the base level and the original permeability of the rock. All karst specialists now agree that all carbonate formations have been karstified to varying degrees over geological time [6].

Living It Up on Opening Night / 'Mamma Mia!
1of3Catherine Johnson, who wrote the "Mamma Mia!
3of3Carole Shorenstein Hays talked with Benny Anderson as Bjorn Ulvaeus (background) looked on at the cast party for "Mamma Mia!
The dance floor was dishearteningly empty for more than an hour as the DJ spun everything from Frank Sinatra to Bob Marley. Then, finally, came sweet relief: ABBA's "Dancing Queen" brought the place to life, with "Mamma Mia!
The moment gave those attending Friday night's "Mamma Mia!
McCormack arrived in San Francisco just before curtain time to cheer theater pals from his hometown of Toronto. He loved the show, which he saw for the first time Friday night with his wife, Janet Holden. "It takes (ABBA) songs that were unintentionally funny and makes them really funny, and it takes songs only vaguely moving and makes them really moving."
As a sitcom actor with acknowledged musical-theater leanings -- he sang "Sweet Transvestite" in full Dr. Frank N. Furter drag on a recent TV tribute to "Rocky Horror" -- McCormack can spot a showstopper. He cites "The Winner Takes It All," sung by his pal Louise Pitre, as the best "Mamma Mia!
Pitre, who has won raves for her role as the mamma in "Mamma Mia!
She said the original London version of the show was North Americanized in Toronto. Pitre spoke proudly of a line she wrote: "At one point, I say, 'Holy s--,' " she said, "which is not British at all."
Best of Broadway producer Carole Shorenstein Hays first lobbied Bjorn and Benny to bring the show to San Francisco back in April 1999. "I was fervent to the point of being a little bit of a terrorist," she said. "I knew it was the right show, the right theater, the right town."
The actors were marking "a new chapter" -- the Toronto cast's arrival in San Francisco -- Dromard said. He was dressed in a black suit of such synthetic shine as to be coveted by any ABBA devotee. What was it made of?

The small number of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in cord blood units limits their widespread use in human transplant protocols. We identified a family of chemically related small molecules that stimulates the expansion ex vivo of human cord blood cells capable of reconstituting human hematopoiesis for at least 6 months in immunocompromised mice. The potent activity of these newly identified compounds, UM171 being the prototype, is independent of suppression of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, which targets cells with more-limited regenerative potential. The properties of UM171 make it a potential candidate for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy.
Allogeneic HSC transplant is the only curative therapy for numerous hematologic malignancies. Unfortunately 30 to 40% of patients will not have a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–identical donor and will be excluded from therapy (1). Cord blood (CB) transplants offer several advantages, namely, the reduced need for HLA matching [thereby extending transplantation availability to nearly all patients (2)] and the decreased risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease, the most important determinant of long-term quality of life in transplant patients. However, CB transplants suffer from limited progenitor cell dose, leading to delayed neutrophil engraftment and increased mortality (3, 4).
Recent studies in immunodeficient mice have confirmed the existence of human CB-derived long-term-repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) capable of regenerating the lifelong production of all mature blood cells (5). These LT-HSCs show a delayed engraftment pattern, in opposition to short-term HSCs (ST-HSCs) that produce short-lived progenitors responsible for the production of mature blood cells and prompt neutrophil recovery (3, 5). Hence, there is great interest in the development of conditions for robustly expanding these progenitor cells while maintaining or expanding LT-HSCs. Unfortunately, most expansion systems available to date achieve progenitor cell expansion at the expense of the LT-HSC loss (6), increasing the risk of late graft failure.
Recent studies showed that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) antagonists and a notch ligand agonist promote the in vitro expansion of human CB cells, with repopulating activity lasting up to 16 weeks in immunodeficient mice (7, 8). We developed an automated and continuous medium delivery system that produces an equivalent expansion of CB cells with similar repopulation properties (9). This fed-batch culture system optimizes the balance of stimulatory and inhibitory factors in a small culture volume. We hypothesized that small molecules with potent LT-HSC–stimulating activities might be identified and potentiated in this fed-batch culture system.
We screened a library of 5280 low-molecular-weight compounds for their ability to expand human CD34+CD45RA− mobilized peripheral blood (mPB) cells, which are enriched in LT-HSCs (10) (fig. S1, A and B). Seven hits were identified after excluding the autofluorescent compounds (Fig. 1A and fig. S1C), five of which were known [four (11, 12)] or previously unknown (one, UM125454, fig. S2) suppressors of the AhR pathway (Fig. 1B). The other two compounds, UM729 (fig. S2) and UM118428, did not suppress the AhR pathway (Fig. 1B). Because of its apparent superior activity in expanding CD34+CD45RA− cells, UM729 was selected for further characterization and optimization by structure activity relationship (SAR) studies that determine the link between the chemical structure of the compound and its biological activity in expanding CD34+CD45RA− cells. More than 300 newly synthesized analogs of UM729 were examined, of which one (UM171, Fig. 1C) was 10 to 20 times more potent than UM729, with effective concentrations of 17 to 19 nM when tested for its ability to stimulate the expansion of a HSC-enriched population, CD34+CD45RA− cells (10) (Fig. 1D and fig. S3, A and B). UM729 did not expand mouse HSCs (fig. S4). UM729 and UM171 treatment enhanced the engraftment potential of CD34+ macaque cells by threefold when compared with controls (fig. S5).
Identification of previously unknown compounds promoting human CD34+ cell expansion
Optimization of fed-batch culture duration indicated that the highest expansion of multipotent progenitors and long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-ICs) was obtained on day 12 (fig. S3, C to E). Likewise, the proportion of apoptotic cells was lower at that time when compared with day 16 (fig. S3F). We also observed that the effect of UM171 requires its constant presence in the media and that the molecule lacks direct mitogenic activity (fig. S6). Cell division tracking further showed that UM171 does not affect the division rate of phenotypically primitive populations (fig. S7).
We next designed experiments to compare the impacts of UM171 and SR1 on outputs of CD34+ CB cells introduced in fed-batch cultures. Control (dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) fed-batch cultures contained mostly differentiated cells (Fig. 2A, DMSO) and a reduced frequency of CD34+CD45RA− cells (compare red box of the two top right graphs in Fig. 2B). In contrast, this phenotype remained prominent in cultures containing UM171 (Fig. 2A and red box in Fig. 2B). Although CD34+ cell frequencies in cultures containing SR1 or UM171 were similar (Fig. 2B, middle graphs), CD34+CD45RA− cells were proportionally more abundant when UM171 was present (Fig. 2B, right-hand graph, red box; P < 0.005, Mann-Whitney test). Determining the absolute numbers of these primitive phenotypes and functionally defined cells confirmed the greater effect of UM171 when compared with control or SR1 [compare UM171 (red) with fed-batch (black) and SR1 (blue) in Fig. 2C and figs. S8 and S9 for fold expansion and absolute cell numbers, respectively]. Furthermore, the effect of UM171 on colony-forming unit of granulocyte, erythrocyte, macrophage, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) expansion (Fig. 2D) and on mature cell output suppression (e.g., CD34− cells in Fig. 2, B and 2C) was enhanced by the addition of SR1. Together, these observations show that these two compounds cooperate to enhance ex vivo expansion of progenitor cells and that they suppress mature cell output (differentiation). These data also suggest that UM171 targets phenotypically more primitive cells than those targeted by SR1.
UM171 attenuates cell differentiation and promotes ex vivo expansion of primitive human hematopoietic cells
By using conditions described in fig. S10A, we next determined the frequencies (adjusted to numbers of CD34+ cells at day 0, hereafter called d0 equivalent) and the absolute numbers of LT-HSCs in fed-batch cultures supplemented with DMSO (control), UM171, SR1, or the combination of both (Fig. 3A and table S1, respectively). When analyzed at 20 weeks posttransplantation, LT-HSC frequencies in fresh (uncultured) CD34+ CB were measured at the expected frequency of ~1 per 880 CD34+ starting cells [95% confidence interval (CI) of 470 to 1600; see Fig. 3A in which frequencies (red line) and 95% CIs (gray box) are indicated]. Similar LT-HSC frequencies were obtained from fed-batch cultures (DMSO) whether or not they contained SR1 (Fig. 3A). Frequencies of d0 equivalent LT-HSCs were 13-fold higher in cultures supplemented with UM171 when compared with DMSO or to fresh (uncultured) controls (Fig. 3A). Absolute LT-HSC values determined after 20 weeks posttransplantation in all culture conditions are provided in table S1. Simultaneous addition of SR1 to UM171-treated cultures did not significantly change these numbers, indicating that the cooperativity between these two molecules is restricted to short-lived progenitors and that LT-HSC output is selectively enhanced in the presence of UM171 (Fig. 3A and table S1).
UM171 promotes expansion of LT-HSCs
We analyzed the nature of human hematopoietic reconstitution obtained by transplanting fresh or expanded cells in NOD scid gamma (NSG) mice. Levels of human cell engraftment, whether total (CD45), myeloid (CD33), or B lymphoid (CD19), were determined for ~300 mice and represented in the form of a heat map in Fig. 3B (raw data in table S2). Analysis of this data set indicates two emerging patterns of human reconstitution, one from predominantly lymphomyeloid LT-HSCs, observed at high cell doses with most conditions, and the other from LT-HSCs that display a lymphoid-deficient differentiation phenotype mostly observed with UM171 treatment, with or without SR1 (Fig. 3B). However, neither B lymphopoiesis nor the frequency or number of lymphomyeloid LT-HSCs is negatively affected by UM171 (Fig. 3B). SR1 treatment appeared to compromise the in vivo proliferative potential, although not the number, of lymphomyeloid LT-HSCs (compare reconstitution levels of SR1 with uncultured or UM171 conditions in Fig. 3B). In support of this, the presence of SR1 in UM171 treated cultures appears to slightly hamper the proliferative potential of the expanded cells (see reduction in red in Combi versus UM171 conditions in Fig. 3B). The impact of UM171 on LT-HSC was preserved at 30 weeks posttransplantation (fig. S10B and table S3), at which time multilineage contribution remained obvious at the high cell dose (Fig. 3C). At this extended time point post-transplant, we also noted a slight augmentation in myeloid cell output, a phenomenon recently described with normal unexpanded cells (5, 13). The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this effect of UM171 on expanding LT-HSCs that show a lymphoid-deficient differentiation pattern are of interest given previous studies of a similar self-perpetuating LT-HSC subset in mice (14) whose prominence is increased in the bone marrow as soon as HSCs begin to migrate from the fetal liver to that site (15).
To further evaluate the impact of UM171-treated LT-HSC population(s), we performed transplantation experiments in secondary recipients. For these studies, four to six primary recipients were selected per condition in which human reconstitution ranged between 10 and 70%. Results (table S4) indicate that UM171 ex vivo treatment did not appear to affect the capability of LT-HSC to expand in primary recipients and hence similarly reconstituted secondary animals for at least 18 more weeks, thus indicating that cells exposed to the molecule ex vivo are still competent in secondary recipients, where they show no advantage when compared to unmanipulated CD34+cells.
We next performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) expression profiling experiments to gain insights into the mode of action of UM171. SR1-treated cells were also analyzed for comparison. As expected, SR1 but not UM171 treatment resulted in down-regulation of AhR target genes such as CYP1B1, CYP1A1, and AhRR (Fig. 4A and fig. S11A) (7, 16). Unlike SR1, UM171 treatment was accompanied by a marked suppression of transcripts associated with erythroid and megakaryocytic differentiation (Fig. 4B and fig. S11B). Only six to seven genes were commonly up- or down-regulated in cells exposed to UM171 or SR1 (fig. S12A). In line with these results, gene expression signatures were very different between cells exposed to UM171 versus those treated with SR1 (fig. S11C and fig. S12B). Most notably, we found that the transmembrane protein of unknown function, TMEM183A, was the most up-regulated transcript in both conditions (fig. S11, A and B) and that the most highly up-regulated genes in UM171-treated cells encode for surface molecules (fig. S11B, highlighted in red). These genes include PROCR (also called EPCR or CD201), which represents a known marker of mouse LT-HSCs (17). Additional RNA-seq experiments and fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) analyses confirmed that expression of this receptor is modulated, in a dose-dependent manner, by UM171 treatment (fig. S13).
Summary of UM171 effect on cell expansion and differentiation
UM171 enables a robust ex vivo expansion of human CB cells with functionally validated long-term in vivo repopulating capability (Fig. 4C). On the basis of these findings, we suggest that UM171 acts by enhancing the human LT-HSC self-renewal machinery independently of AhR suppression. Conversely, AhR inhibitors’ activity appears restricted to the production of cells with less-durable self-renewal activity (Fig. 4C). By expanding LT-HSCs and downstream cells in vitro using UM171, it may become possible for small, well HLA-matched CB units to become a prioritized source of cells for transplantation in future donor selection algorithms.

Additional fund information
The basis of Numis' risk rating is that the UK equity market is considered average risk for a UK based investor. Trusts are classified into one of six categories depending on their risk characteristics relative to a broad index of the UK equity market. It should be noted that all funds carry a degree of risk, and "Below Average" funds lightly Below Average 70-80
Average 80-120
Above Average 140-180
High >180
Numis focus on NAV rather than price as they believe changes in a fund's discount, though relevant for shareholders, can provide a misleading picture of the likely future risk. For instance, a fund's discount may widen because of selling by a major holder, but there is no reason to expect this event to happen again. In addition, the volatility of smaller, illiquid stocks is often vastly understated due to infrequent trading. As a result, we focus on the risk at the portfolio level, as measured by the NAV, and evaluate the fund's valuation separately.
In addition to the quantitative analysis, we also assess a number of qualitative factors before determining a fund's risk rating. Issues that may cause us to modify a fund's rating include:
Please note that risk categorisations are indicative and based principally on historic data.
