Language Deficits in Poor L2 Comprehenders: The Simple View
Recently, second language (L2) researchers have proposed that L2 reading may be similar to first language (L1) reading (e.g., see Proctor, Carlo, August, & Snow, 2005; Verhoeven & van Leeuwe, 2012). Koda (2007) speculated that L1 reading, L2 oral proficiency, and L2 word decoding contribute significantly to L2 reading comprehension and also pointed out that students' individual differences in each of these domains can help explain differences among students in overall reading comprehension. Other researchers have postulated that reading has "universal" properties reflected in the writing systems of the languages, all of which represent a spoken language (Perfetti & Harris, 2013; Perfetti & Liu, 2005). For example, Koda (2008) noted that students learning to read an alphabetic orthography must first learn general mapping principles (i.e., print relates to speech, speech can be segmented into sounds, segmented sounds relate to graphic symbols), then master the mapping details (i.e., how the aforementioned mapping principles are encoded) of the orthography. If reading has universal properties, then once the universals of reading are learned in one language-e.g., an alphabetic orthography such as English-then the skills necessary to learn English are available to learn another alphabetic orthography, such as Spanish.
In addition to proposing that reading is the product of word decoding and language comprehension and that these two skills make separate and independent contributions to reading skill, the SVR model has implications for identifying different types of readers and for proposing intervention strategies to improve reading comprehension. For example, some individuals may exhibit good word decoding and good language comprehension, while others may be good decoders but poor comprehenders, poor decoders but good comprehenders, or both poor decoders and poor comprehenders. An open question is whether students in the United States who are learning to read an L2 at the same time they are learning to speak and comprehend the L2 would fit the profiles proposed by the SVR model. Learners who bring no home or community exposure to that L2 in either spoken or written forms are not only learning to read the L2 many years after they have learned their L1 but may also have little or no exposure to the L2 outside of the classroom.
In this study, the SVR model was examined using data gathered from first- and second-year learners of Spanish as a second language who had no previous exposure to the language prior to high school courses. Their performance in reading was assessed using a standardized measure of Spanish reading and vocabulary that is normed on native Spanish reade students under consideration fit one of the four profiles of good and poor readers posited by the SVR model and to propose broad instructional strategies for supporting and enhancing their reading skills. …

Delivery Hero’s revenues jump 66% for first half of 2017
Jonathan Keane 26 September 2017
German food delivery marketplace Delivery Hero has announced a 66% boost in revenue for the first half of 2017 in its latest revenue report, despite a slowdown in growth in recent months.
Revenues for the first six months of the year hit €246.5 million with losses coming down to 18%, lower than the 47% reported this time last year. There was some slowdown in growth in the last three months of the half-year period when compared to revenue from the first quarter.
The company, which went public in June, expects to reach up to €540 million in revenue by the end of 2017 with an EDITDA margin of 15% to 17%.
The number of food orders processed between January and June hit 131.8 million, it said, compared to 89.4 million a year ago while the company made a number of acquisitions in Asia and Latin America to further its position in more markets globally.
Delivery Hero noted some growth in each region it is active in compared to 12 months ago: Europe up 36%, Middle East and North Africa up 86%, Asia up 91%, and the Americas up 117%.
“We had a fantastic first six months of 2017. We made significant investments in our service and saw great return from these investments,” said Niklas Östberg, CEO of Delivery Hero. “At the same time we achieved a good balance between strong growth and moving closer towards profitability.”

Sometimes it's difficult to know what to wear to a job fair. Usually, a job fair's guidelines or invitation will include guidelines or
instructions to dress "business casual" or "business professional." And while a quick Google search can tell you what those mean,

This includes skinny jeans, jeggings, or any other type of variation you may think is acceptable. There is a time and place for jeans

Ike Measures - 7th Bn Northamptonshires - 27/09/1915
21 January , 2018 in Soldiers and their units
I have been, and have got as far to think he must have been involved in the Battle of Loos as I've read the 7th Battalion of the Northamptonshire's were involved there. He is buried at thea few minutes from Dud-Corner and the Loos Memorial. If anyone can shed any light on this insofar as whether he would have been involved in the Battle of Loos that would be gratefully received.
This is the information I can pull from the CWWG website:
Private I Measures
Died: 27/09/1915
7th BN
The 7th Northamptons were in 24th Division who took part in the Battle of Loos. There is much more detail on the excellent Long Long Trail website:
24th Div24th-division/
Battle of Loos
Edited 21 January , 2018 by Gareth Davies
They had a pretty rough time on 27th Sep 1915. The Battalion had taken over from units of the 9th Scottish Div opposite the Hohenzollern Redoubt on 25th and were shelled continuously (26th), and fought off German counter-attacks (26th) until they ultimately had to give way on 27th and retired.
402 all ranks killed or wounded - close to 50% of those engaged.
3 Officers killed, 7 wounded.
This was less than 3 weeks after disembarking in France. The action marked a critical turning point in attitudes towards the New Armies with two Divisions regarded as having failed quite spectacularly - 21st and 24th Divs. The repercussions were felt throughout the Army with a major restructuring shifting Regular battalions into New Army formations.Sir John French lost the confidence of his Corps Commanders due to his poor handling of the Reserves and his position became untenable. It was an important day in the timeline of the Great War.
Oddly the History of the Northamptonshire Regt 1914-18 totally ignores the sacrifices of the 7th Bn at Loss and instead focuses its attention completely on the two regular battalions. The New Army battalions are reduced to a slim chapter at the end of the book.
Loos is covered in fine detail in the Official History 1915 Vol II which devotes a whole sections of a number of chapters to the XI Corps: 21st Div and 24th Div (of which 7th Northants formed a part of 73rd Inf Bde) There are a number of single volumes on Loos.

The battalion wae brigade diary here or here, and the division diary here or here.
His Soldiers Effects record says that he died "on or since 27.9.15 Death presumed". The Red Cross have a couple of PoW enquiry cards for him, one of which indicates that he was in 'C' Company.
In the early part of September 1914 there was a big recruitment drive in Peterborough (as there was in many other towns and cities) that brought in a large influx of recruits. Because of the involvement of Councillor Isaac Whitsed, the first large batches of recruits were known as "Whitsed's Light Infantry". According to a list in the Peterborough & Hunts Standard on 12 September 1914 Isaac Measures was one of the "2nd Batch of Whitsed's Light Infantry departing to Shoreham on Saturday 12 September 1914", the first contingent having travelled earlier that week. Between them, the Peterborough Recruits formed the main part of "C" Company when they concentrated at Shoreham. "D" Company was formed mainly from recruits from the Northampton area who joined at the same time as their eventual Commanding Officer, Edgar Mobbs.
In the spring of 1915 the city Mayor commissioned the production of a Roll of Honour of men serving from the city - Isaac Measures is listed in this as living at 61 Dickens Street. Peterborough. Coincidentally, my work today involved Dickens Street.
Later in the year an Embarkation Roll was made for the 7th Battalion which has survived. Again, Private Isaac Measures is listed on this Roll, confirming that he was posted to "C" Company. According to his Medal Index Card and Medal Roll he embarked to France on 1 September 1915.Casualty Lists published in the Times show him as being reported as Missing as a Private with 7th Battalion per the Times of 8-11-1915.
The battalion's arrival at the battle of Loos has been touched on before. The battalion histories (there are three books covering differing periods in differing depth) state that the battalion was the one with least men falling out following their forced march from the Reserve area through the clogged local roads. It was sent to the front lines to relieve attacking Scottish battalions on the night of the 25th September 1915. They took over trenches and then faced counter attacks over the next two days. None of the battalions of 21st or 24th Divisions had had any sort of experience in the trenches, so the battle really was a baptism of fire.
The local image archive has pictures of the men departing on the 12th September 1914:

In March 1915 they visited the city again:

Thanks for the responses - The links to the Soldiers Effects and PoW cards are most interesting, and promoted some further digging. Seems he had an older brother, Thomas Measures (named after his father) who also served. I visited Isaac's grave at Bully-Les-Mines last year, which somewhat promoted this research.
Steve, those images are fantastic. I must say I was prompted to post on the forum following an earlier Google throwing up a thread you'd put a most detailed response to, and I noticed you were from Peterborough (we still live in/around Peterborough so it is interesting to see these images).

 prepare to live the Holy Triduum intensely, in order to share ever more deeply in the Mystery of Christ. We are accompanied in this itinerary by the Blessed Virgin who silently followed her Son Jesus to Calvary, taking part with deep sorrow in his sacrifice and thus cooperating in the mystery of the Redemption and becoming Mother of all believers. Together with her we shall enter the Upper Room, we shall remain at the foot of the Cross, we shall watch in spirit beside the dead Christ, waiting with hope for the dawn of the radiant day of the Resurrection.
We enter a dark church with just the light of the Easter candle. Gradually the light from the Easter candle spreads throughout the church and in the light of our candles the Easter hymn of praise is sung. That dramatic entrance rite before the Liturgy of the Word is fitting on a night when we celebrate a drama of momentous proportions. Tonight, we are celebrating God's drama in raising his Son from the dead on that first Easter morning. We are here tonight because we feel that we have all been caught up into that drama. What God did on that first Easter morning has touched all of our liveslife and work would have been a glorious, but nonetheless tragic, failure. Without Jesus' resurrection from the dead, what he began would have petered out. The resurrection was God's resounding 'yes' to all that Jesus said and did, to all that he lived and died for.

“I ”
Two years later, an essay from this class won her first place in the campus writing awards.
“The entire experience was wonderful and I found the field to allow room for creativity,” she said.
For the past year or so, she’s also been mentoring current UM-Dearborn students.
On October 10, Farhat was presented with the “Mentor of the Year” award by the university’s humanities/history internship program.
“Zahraa was my student in two courses at the University of Michigan-Dearborn when she was an undergraduate here,” said Dr. Carolyn Krausinternship program. “So I was already familiar with her impressive work and presence when she undertook an internship at The AANews in the program that I direct.”
Farhat has grown to love many aspects of journalism, such as building rapport with interviewees, sharing their stories, doing research and dispelling misconceptions about her community. She said she appreciates that it is an all-around socially conscious job.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for all of Zahraa’s hard work and for her dedication to mentoring our interns,” said Elizabeth Barbieri, the internship coordinator. “She is truly a guiding force for our students and we appreciate her support.”

You've basically been one of the most helpful people during both the application and waiting periods. I've listened to your advice whether it was general or personal from dealing with college rejections to writing my LOCI to emailing colleges about an important update (which I received some positive replies for from the colleges) to even adding books to my spring reading list. Your comments have taught me so much about the college process and I honestly couldn't be any more thankful!
I want to thank you for all the help that you provide on /r/ApplyingToCollege!
AdmissionsMom, You may not remember, but you read my common app about my eBay and gave me crucial advice to make my essay better, motivated me to do my subject tests (which I did ok on!), and now guided me through this. I know you hear it all the time, but I mean it — thank you!
But what I will say about admissions mom is that she is, without a doubt, the most caring person I have met on the journey through the maze that are college applications. She always lent a listening ear, especially when I thought no one could possibly understand the weird, overly complex subtleties of this godforsaken process. She always gave advice, whether as simple as eating fish before standardized tests ("BRAIN FOOD!", as she would put it) or as thoughtful as comparing different colleges, when location, price, culture, fit, academics and so many other factors had to be weighed. And of course, I'd be remiss to not point out that she does know the process like the back of her hand, and that she is very honest about what you should or should not expect. But if I had to use one word, it would without a second thought be "caring."
Just wanted to thank you for your help a few months back with my essays!So far, I've gotten in to UT, UIUC, and Georgia Tech for CS and I'm confident that it was because of my essays. Thanks to your actions, I've been inspired to pass on the kindness by extending help to the juniors in my school who are all beginning to feel the college app jitters in an attempt to ease their worries away. Hope you continue doing what you do!
When AdmissionsMom initially told us that finding the right school for my son was more a journey of self-discovery for him, rather than getting accepted into the "best" school, she made us stop and think. What journey could she possibly be referring to?

The freedom of the individual to aim high is a deeply rooted part of the American ethos but we rarely acknowledge its flip side: failure. If people are responsible for their individual successes, is the same true of their failures? The Failed Individual brings together a variety of disciplinary approaches to explore how people fail in the United States and the West at large,or physically.
To this volume I contribute a chapter on the failure of popular self-quantification practices in context to emergent concepts of selfhood and individualism (namely: posthumanism). Design is used as an optic to re-perceive everyday quantifying practices and creatively embrace living with not knowing at a moment when the data economy is booming.

While Soue continue our Q&A with Andy Watts – the James Sedgw.
In part one of our interview with Watts, he discussedgwick Distillery. In part two, he reveals the process that brought international accolades to Three Ships and Bain’s.
Andy Watts: ears — the Three Ships Premium Select 5 Year Olas the World’s Best Grain Whisky in 2013.
Obviously’t
When looking at the final product whisky is very subjective so it is about that “moment in time.” Competitions are judged “blind” which means with no labels or identification visible and the judges would look at the visual and sensory aspects of the whisky i.e. look, nose, taste, mouth feel and aftertaste. It is normally scored out of 100 with whiskies achieving scores of above 90 being eligible for gold status.
The success which we have consistently achieved over the last few years just fires the motivation to maintain this standard. The two “Worlds Best Awards” achieved along with the top awards at all the major international competitions heightened international interest and the recognition for our whiskies shows me that we are on the right path. This recognition lets everyone connected with our brands feel proud. It fuels our passion to continue to craft whiskies which we hope, one day, will make all South Africans as proud of the whiskies we produce as we already are of our incredible wines and brandies for which the country is better known.
What was the biggest change you made in order to win the awards?
There was never a “eureka” moment in suddenly producing international award winning whiskies. We always knew that we had lots to learn and the important thing is we did and we still are learning. We have made an investment in the distillery’s equipment and s of producing whisky in a warm climate. We looked into our wood maturation policy and brought in some changes there. I think most importantly however we have a dedicated team who for them the James Sedgwick distillery and what they do is their life.
How should one drink whisky?
Consuming whisky should be an education and therefore I thinkasting and drinking!
When we taste whisky we advise people to add the same amount of water to the glass as the whisky. The water must not be too cold and definitely no ice. This allows the flavors of the whisky to be revealed during the tasting.
However, when we drink whisky we say that there is no right or wrong way. The South African climate is relatively hot so a long glass filled with ice, a tot of blended whisky along with ginger ale and a slice of lemon or orange makes for a great summer cooler. On the other hand, a cold, wet winter’s evening with tumbler or Glencairn glass in hand may lead to a more complex whisky either neat or with a dash of water. Do not be afraid to experiment to try to find a whisky, whether neat or mixed, which suits the occasion best.
What’s next for South African whisky?
At the moment ,. We have always believed the time would come in South Africa, where we now find ourselves. A time where limited edition bottling, non-chill filtered whiskies, brand extensions, cask finishes, own cask sales and cask strength expressions are the trend and where we are able to be a part of that trend. This is nothing that the established whisky producing-countries of the world haven’t been doing for a while.
Globally I think you will continue to see new countries and new whiskies being released. If you had asked me twenty years ago that the World’s Best Malt Whisky for 2014 would have come from Tasmania I would maybe have been skeptical, but not anymore as it has been proven that if the quality of the whisky is in the bottle then the origin is no longer as important.
I think we all respect and admire the over 500 years of tradition which the traditional countries have but the consumer is no longer afraid to accept change in fact they embrace it. The world of social media has brought whisky lovers from all the four corners of the world together and they all have one thing in common — a passion for this amazing drink.

Tag: Lithuania	Bs	The announcement three weeks ago that Prague is prepared to transfer 360 hectares of territory to Poland in the Těšín Silesia area is the latest indication that the border changes in the former Soviet and Yugoslav spaces are sparking new questions about borders in the northern portion of Eastern Europe, according to Aleksey Fenenko.
Now, however, “the situation is changing,” the Moscow specialist says, as the Těšín Silesia shows. Warsaw and Prague, under pressure from the Entente agreed to the border in 1920. But both sides had problems with it, and immediately after Munich in 1938, Poland demanded and got a border adjustment in its favor.
And third, it is a reminder that the West, having failed to stop Russia’s “territorial” adjustments in Georgia in 2008 or in Ukraine in 2014, has opened the door not only to Vladimir Putin but to other leaders around the world who may decide that the era of fixed borders is over and that they have everything to gain by seeking to expand their own.

Just dug out a nice HP75C, working flawlessly with NiCads holding charge without problem...I love stuff that works !
This machine is inserted in the 64K version of the Pod, so barely pocketable (it *is* for me ...
I just wanted to state my amazement at the speed of that daemon. I'm well used to the HP71B, but the 75 is much much faster IMHO. What a nice machine !
What are you basing the speed comparison on?
The first time I saw a 75, I was captivated by its looks. The thing was beautiful!

I tried them out at an office-supply store for quite some time and also compared them to various Sharp- and Casio-Basic-programmable-calculators that I borrowed from friends. Apart from being an order of magnitude (one full power of ten!
In the end, this is what I bought for the money that I would have had to spend for the '75: One second hand Hp-150 touchscreen PC for my desk, together with a heap of accessories (including daisywheel printer and an Hp9872C flatbed plotter - all still in my posession and working :-) ); one Casio FP-200 basic programmable "pocket" (not really...
My explanation for the lack of success of the 75 would be that the price reserved it to managers, who had no clue about the technical excellence of the product, hence not justifying it. Technical types couldn't afford the machine. I sure could not afford ANY HP at the time, so I got the TI30...
2. 1. Yes, it was very expensive originally. But when they noticed that they couldn't sell them for that price, they sold off all remaining FP-200s for bargain prices. I recall paying something like 300 German Mark (around 150 $ US) for the machine, which made it less expensive than the Basic-handhelds of Casio and Sharp!

"[Lynch] was with us the whole year last year. We understand the way he works, the way he likes to do the snap count and everything like that."
"I could tell that they brought in chemistry. They have a bravado that they want to bring on," Pegram said. "Bringing them in with Jordan, I'm trying to find a spot in their group almost."
"He has 'it.' You don't know what 'it' is, but he has it."
He said it wouldn't hurt if Lynch continued Harnish's tradition of grilling for the linemen. "We'll have to get up under him and see what he's thinking," Pegram said with a smile. "We'll have to see whether he wants to have a good season or not."
"He's not a real big cook," the junior said with a chuckle, "but we said that we'll cook the food if he buys the meat."

South Sudan imposed at least eight death sentences and executed at least seven people, sources told Amnesty International. This is the highest number recorded by the rights group, in any year, since the country gained independence in 2011. At least one was a child at the time of the crime. Four of the executions, including the individual known to, were carried out in Wau Central Prison between May and October 2018. At least three people are known to have been executed in Juba between July and October 2018. The person below the age of 18, at the time of the crime, was executed in Wau the day after he was transferred to the prison. At the end of the year, at least 345 people were under sentence of death, and they may be at risk of execution, Amnesty said.

Thank you Padraig for providing the link to the speech of Sister Florence. There are many things, I'm think of saying….some printable and some not. The question that is "pounding on my brain", though…is Who is the CDF accountable to?Really?Oh, I think, there is so much that goes on that wearies the Lord!While the women of the LCWR are in the hands of the "inquisition", I'm thinking back to what the Swiss Abbot?(I just can't recall exactly who said it) had said, in Rome….."Unless, you promote women, you might as well forget about the New Evangelization". (paraphrased) Indeed, I was musing about this, and I think, as long as the hierarchy, continues to stymie the women….the Church will literally become impotent in it's mission to the world. As we approach Pentecost this week, I will be praying for the Holy Spirit to renew the face of the world and church, and I think, the face ought to reflect more of the feminine!It is well and good, that Pope Francis, is collecting the Church to focus on the mission to the poor, however, in that mission, must be a inpouring and outpouring of women…
At last a woman Deacon in Dublin!
Delighted that LCWR Frances Deacon is coming to Dublin. Why so little publicity about this?Our American Sisters deserve time and space to have their voices heard. I cannot understand why the Pope has not met them personally before endorsing Benedict's findings in their regard. Surely they deserve the courtesy and the justice of a fair hearing,of their truth. Why are we women religious here in Ireland ,so silent about everything really?

ve been looking for answers and not sure where to turn. My brother was recently prescribed escitalopram in August 2015 suffering temporary work related stress from bullying.  Shortly thereafter my brother began to deteriorate and articulate suicidal thoughts so was taken to Hospital on two occasions and on both occasions he was declined admission just given a wafer of Olanzapine and sent home. Complaining of a brain fog from the drug and given his growing mistrust of the medical treatment prescribed my brother fled interstate to stay with his father and sought the services of a naturopath to get himself off the medication and went cold turkey. Suffering withdrawal symptoms, my brother tragically took his life about a week after going cold turkey about and only 30 days after starting the course. An act completely out of character. I believe abrupt withdrawal from these drugs drove him to do this and am hoping to find the truth and understand what going cold turkey can do to you but it is hard to keep faith when the medical establishment tells you many people take antidepressants and so they would not cause this.  but it is hard to find answers at bereavement groups because many have not linked it to the meds and make you doubt yourself. Thanks for listening.
Whtat a tragedy! I'm so sorry for your brother and your family.
It is no doubt it's the poison lexapro accountable for his action. Thousands are damaged and many lost their lives from taking these drugs either from side effects or withdrawal from them.
Yes if he went cold turkey, it would not surprise me in the least. It's horrible.
I did it not knowing the problems it can cause and I have always said since going through that I can understand why some people have taken their life. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Going cold turkey will cause very distressing symptoms, having done so myself while hospitalized. Even tapering too fast can be distressing to the point of giving up. I've had to fight my way back from throwing in the towel a few times ( not suicide), just not wanting to continue with the tapering because if is so hard. I hope you can find some peace in knowing it was not your brother's fault, it was the drug.
Lenny I lost someone dear to me from suicide. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this -- it's a group nobody wants to join.
A family friend told me about a program run by a local suicide distress centre that supports surviving spouses, family members and other loved ones. I found it a relief to talk with and be with people who understood, who weren't waiting for me to be change the topic or to stop talking. If you're in London UK, there may be a similar bereavement program.
Thank you for your kind words. I have been to some counseling and suicide bereavement groups which have helped but can also be difficult because many haven't made the link to the antidepressants. So many I met seemed to be clearly linked in one case it occurred very shortly after changing the medication but the bereaved did not think it could be meds because there was a note and I wanted to let them believe what gave them comfort. Deep down I know it was the meds because I've been close to my brother for over 30 years and it was not like him. He survived 30 yrs without the meds and lasted lass than 30 days once he was put on them but it still hard to believe how withdrawal can make a person do that but I could imagine it is like being out of your mind and he didn't know what he was doing.

I am glad that, according to the write-up to the right of your blog, you are able to celebrate Mass in Latin. (Isn't success defined as being able to do what you desire?) As I understand it, that is quite a big deal. In the Diocese where I live, the last bishop ran a priest out of his church, the diocese and the state for doing such.
...It is interesting how what is traditional/conservative becomes rebellious and liberal when it is forbidden.
You are the one who is, overall, quite funny. Hopefully, your parishioners find you to be such -- when you intend to be!
I explained my joy in hearing this, and explained my paricipation in the "Indult" community. My deepest hope is that Catholics worldwide do not see this as devisive. I pray for unity of the Church at all levels.
Along with you dear father, I pray that this does not cause disunity in the Church. I fear it will.
For a long time my wish has been for people to put down their darn missals and LISTEN, WATCH, PARTICIPATE. Just dont sit there and READ.Hopefully priests who celebrate in this way will encourage people to learn Latin and put down the missals.
My most pressing question now is what role will laity have during this mass? As a woman will I be turned away from serving God once more because I am the wrong sex? Don't try and "comfort" me by telling me my most important role is to be present and pray. Or be part of the schola and learn the chant, God didn't gift me with a singing voice either.

The first portion was somewhat discouraging with moments of brightness. I went back to my seminary for graduation and to see some friends. After a distinctly cold reception on the part of the institution - contrasting sharply with the warm greeting I received from the students and the Bible professors - I brushed the dust off my feet and didn't look back. Because the Commencement speaker was the Presiding Bishop, tickets were required for entry to the proceedings. Now, I made my plans to attend this event before I knew who the Homilist was going to be, so I knew nothing about tickets until about a week before when MacDaddy told me about them. I called the (newly-installed) Rector of St. Luke's - where Commencement is held - and she said, "Ryan, if they don't let you in, we'll put you in vestments and sit you up front!
The Girlfriend, who accompanied me on the First Part of the vacation, was not too impressed with the hospitality level and remarked, "Everyone up here is mean." I attempted a response like, "Well, I'm sure they're all just stressed out cause the PB is here...
Hey Ryan, didn't see you at church on Sunday!

The phrase "Who do you trust?" comes to mind looking at this week's lessons. Some of you might remember the old "Who do you trust?" TV quiz show from back in the late 1950's, early 60's. I didn't remember much except that a young Johnny Carson was the host before he took over the Tonight Show, but of course these days you can look up and watch anything on YouTube and doing so I found out that "Who do you trust?" was really less of a quiz show and more Johnny Carson interviewing the contestants, always a husband and wife, and using his quick wit in the back and forth dialogue with them. Eventually a category would be presented and Johnny would ask the husband if he trusted himself to answer a question related to that category or if he trusted his wife; who do you trust?
Jeremiah, the psalmist and Jesus all indicate that trusting in the Lord will make you happy or blessed and that probably underlies what Paul says as well. What I kept coming back to though as I thought about this is what do those words, trust, happy and blessed mean in this case. They're all familiar and you feel like you know what they mean until you start to try and put words to it. How do you explain what it means to trust in the Lord?Can you put into words what it means to be blessed?Is blessed the same as happy?
Metaphorically, for the psalmist, the roots represent trust and delight in the law of the Lord or better put, trust and delight in the teaching of the Lord; in Hebrew law and teaching are the same word. It's that teaching though that roots us and grounds us enabling us to prosper in good times but also enabling us to persevere when we experience dryness and drought in our faith and in our life, enabling us to hang in and hang on when life throws storms our way. The question then is what is the essence of that teaching in which we trust?
The roots of the tree then help us to get at the trust described by the psalmist and Jeremiah, the trust implied by Jesus, but what about being happy or blessed?The tree metaphor provides some insight into that too. A tree is not worried or anxious about what it is, it doesn't worry about where its water will come from. There is a sense of peace and contentment, dare we say happiness and blessedness?
What Jeremiah, the psalmist and Jesus in Luke 6 all have in common is that they offer two ways: blessing or woe, well watered trust or shriveled fear. Again we're reminded that in the Bible, the opposite of faith isn't doubt, it's fear with the frequent refrain of "Do not be afraid."
We probably all view Amish people as being a little strange and out of step with the modern world but their approach is…


The first time I made meringues from scratch though, all of my previously ill feelings towards them went out the window. You see, I finally figured out what makes meringues so amazing. They look so soft and pillow like, but taking a bite out of one, you soon realize that they are crisp, fragile and a little bit gooey. I love this recipe because it is really simple to make, especially if you have a standing mixer, can be made ahead and is very inexpensive to make for a dinner party crowd. It’s one of those desserts which make you look like a pro to all of your guests, without having to slave in the kitchen. Top yours with vanilla custard, whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate shavings or even a little jam (or some combination there of).
Heat oven to 110C/230F.
Add the egg whites and lemon juice to the bowl of a standing mixer, or large mixing bowl if you are using a hand mixer. Whisk until the eggwhites double in size and form soft peaks.
Continue whisking; adding in the sugar a tablespoon at a time, allowing it to incorporate completely before adding more.
Once you have added in all of the sugar, whisk until the whites are glossy.
Place a square of baking/parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
Add the egg whites to a large zip-top plastic bag or plastic piping bag, cut off the tip of one corner and pipe the egg whites on to the baking sheet.
Bake for 2 hrs. When the meringues are finished, they will have a crisp exterior and lift easily off the paper.
Serve plain or topped with vanilla custard and fruit.

ThThe maintenanceis critical for multiple cellular pathways. For instance, imbalances in dNTPs are associated with genomic instability (1). Likewise, they have also been shown to disturb mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and consequently mitochondrial fitness, which may lead to mitochondrial diseases (MDs), such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer (2). Additionally, disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (DPPM) profoundly affect cell metabolism, underlying the importance of nucleotides for cell behavior (3). Thus, both nucleotide synthesis and degradation must be exquisitely fine-tuned. In this review, we will focus on synthesis of dNTPs and the consequences of dNTP pool imbalances in cancer and MDs enhanced mutagenesis, leading to genomic instability, which promotes cancer (4), and may have a role in metabolic disease (5).
Cells possess two biosynthetic pathways to produce dNTPs: de novo and salvage (8). Purines and pyrimidines arise from two different de novo pathways that generate nucleotides starting from raw material (glucose, glutamine, aspartate, and HCO3) (9). The de novo nucleotide synthesis pathway is highly energy-intensive (9). Therefore, cells have developed a more energy-efficient route to synthesize nucleotides, termed the salvage pathway (10). The salvage pathway acts as a recycling plant taking free nitrogen bases and nucleosides arising from nucleic acid breakdown and diet (9). Nucleosides are hydrophilic compounds, thus proper function of nucleoside transporters (SLC29 and SLC28 families) is an essential requirement for salvage pathway function (11). Ribonucleotides obtained by either pathway can be reduced to their deoxyribonucleotide counterpart in a reaction catalyzed by ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) (12).
Turnover of RNA and other nucleotides occurs regularly to maintain homeostasis. Human cells cannot break down the purine ring. Purine catabolism involves a sequence of three reactions in which nucleotides are stripped step-by-step from their phosphates and sugar to finally become oxidized to the end product uric acid (UA), which is excreted into the urine (13). Conversely, uracil and thymidine rings can be completely degraded to β-alanine and β-aminoisobutyrate, respectively. Subsequently, both metabolites can be excreted or transform(14). Biosynthesis and catabolism of nucleotides and dNTPs are highlighted in Figure 1.
Deregulation of nucleotide metabolism is associated with aMDs (15–17). Virtually all metabolic pathways have been implicated in dNTP biosynthesis. Thus, de novo and salvage pathways, as well as all involved anapleurotic reactions (Figure 1), need to be highly cross-regulated.
It is well known that cancer cells must increase dNTP biosynthesis (18) to ensure rapid replication of the genome (17). This occurs through a variety of pathways (discussed below). In contrast, MDs are caused by congenital or acquired genetic defects in metabolic enzymes. DPPMf nucleotides (19). DPPM have a wide varietyproper nucleotide metabolism for cell and organism function (15). Alterations in nucleotide metabolism are also present in other metabolic-related pathological conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance (20–22) (Table 1). In this section, we will summarize some important features affecting nucleotide metabolism in cancer and MDs.
mTOR is a central signaling pathway that integrates environmental inputs (e.g., nutrients and hormones) into downstream pathways to control many cellular processes (91). This includes regulation of metabolism, growth, and survival (32). Indeed, the mTORC1/2 pathway not only promotes glucose uptake and protein and lipid biosynthesis, but also promotes nucleotide biosynthesis (29, 30) and uptake of nucleosides through transporters (88). At least one member of this pathway is altered in 38% of human cancer (92). Altered metabolism induced by aberrant mTORC1diabetes and obesity (32, 93).
c-Myc, o, is also regulated by PI3K-AKT and ERK1/2-MAPK pathways (94). c-Myc is a highly pleiotrop cell metabolism (34, 35) through regulation of glycolysis, glutamine metabolism, and mitochondrial biogenesis (95, 96). Indeed, c-Myc has been shown to induce hepatic glucose uptake and utilization, while blocking gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis, suggesting a counteracting effect of c-Myc in obesity and insulin resistance (36, 97). In addition to regulating glucose and glutamine, substrates for purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis (Figure 1) (98), c-Myc also transcriptionally regulates nucleotide metabolic enzyme gene expression (35). Thus, deregulation in c-Myc acutely alters nucleotide homeostasis in cancer (99), and it is interesting to speculate that the role of c-Myc in MDs is also related to nucleotide metabolism.
An imbalance in nucleotides has been shown in two different studies related to diabetes (106, 107). Additionally, pyrimidine metabolism has been linked to fatty liver (26). Interestingly, increasing evidence suggests a link between obesity,108), and cancer. Obese patients show many cancer-promoting features, such as chronic low-level inflammation (109), insulin-resistance/diabetes (110), and deregulation of mTORC1 (111). Although the contribution of deregulated nucleotide pools promoting cancer has been extensively demonstrated (18, 112–115), their role in MD and metabolic-related diseases has not yet been elucidated. Based on these recent studies, we speculate that deregulation of nucleotide pools may in part contribute to the altered metabolic landscape promoting obesity and diabetes. Studying the implications of altered nucleotide pools in these diseases would open a therapeutic window based on modulation of nucleotide metabolism.
Ribonucleotide reductase reduces (116, 117). In mammals, RNR is a tetrameric enzyme composed of two homodimeric subunits, RRM1 and RRM2. Whereas, RRM1 is continuously expressed throughout the cell-cycle, expression of RRM2 is activated upon entry into S-phase (54, 118). Additionally, RRM2 is rapidly degraded via the proteasome in G2 (12, 119). Thus, RRM2 is considered rate-limiting for RNR activity. RRM2B (RNR subunit M2B) is an alternative M2 subunit that is induced by p53 activation in response to DNA damage (56). RRM2B is not cell-cycle regulated per se, but it plays key roles in enhancing dNTP synthesis in cells under stress (120–122) and mediating mtDNA synthesis and repair (57–59).
The role of RNR in cancer is clear as it was one of the first identified DNA damage-induced enzymes (123). While RRM2 overexpression is tumorigenic, leading to lung neoplasms in vivo, RRM1 reduces tumor formation, migration, and metastasis [reviewed in Ref. (53)]. Previous studies from our lab and others have shown the potential of RRM2 as a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker in multiple cancers (112, 124–127). However, the utility of RRM1 and RRM2B as a tumor biomarker is still unclear [reviewed in Ref. (53)].
Although there is no study directly linking RNR with MD, RRM2B is required for mtDNA synthesis and healthy mitochondrial function (57). Deregulated mitochondriaity (discussed below). Therefore, it is possible that RNR function is linked to these MDs (Table 1). Morole for RNR in obesity and diabetes.
Thefor eukaryotic function (128). In addition toare also the scaffold of several metabolic reactions for cellular building block synthesis (e.g., fatty acid beta-oxidation, one-carbon/folate cycle, TCA cycle, amino acid metabolism, etc.) (129). Hence, altered mitochondrial behavior has a broad impact on cellular metabolism.
It is clear that cancer is a metabolic disease; however, a predisposition to cancer is not a foregone conclusion in patients with DPPM, who by definition have alterations in nucleotide supplies. Interestingly. This highlights the large variability in the clinical presentation of these disorders.
Other DPPM confer a tumor suppressive benefit. For instance, patients with G6PD deficiency have a reduced risk of some cancers (145–147) (Table 1). This suggests that hyperactivity of dNTP synthesis is more likely to increase cancer risk than deficiencies in synthesis.
Together, the lack of consensus in predisposition to cancer in DPPM patients points to the significant redundancy in the dNTP biosynthetic pathways. This should not be surprising due to the fact that dNTP synthesis is critical for organismal survival and, therefore, we have evolved to have multiple metabolic arms feeding into the same pathway. Understanding whether these patients are predisposed or not to cancer will be incredibly ts.
The spectrum of nucleotide therapies for DPPM is much broader in scope due to the high variability of deficiencies (3). Thus, deficiencies resulting in the overproduction of UA are treated (16). In other cases, patients can be treated with oral supplements of specific nucleotides they are lacking (16). What is clear is that cancer patients with DPPM cannot be treated with antimetabolites such as 5-fluoro-uracil due to severe side effects (19). This suggests that cancer patients, DPPM must remain above a certain threshold of nucleotide pools to remain healthy. Finally, no nucleotide therapies are currently used for MDs, such as diabetes or obesity nucleotide metabolism plays a contributing role to these pathologies before these types of therapies can be tested.
For decades fine-tuned dNTP levels for cellular homeostasis, as shown by the number of anti-cancer therapies based on the abolishment of nucleotide synthesis. In addition, the broad range of pathologies associated with congenital defects in nucleotide metabolic enzymes further demonstrates the importance of healthy intracellular dNTP levels. However, the association between cancer and MD and whether nucleotide pools are interconnected in these pathologies remains unclear. Future work will need to focus on mechanistic and population-based studies to determine whether nucleotide pool imbalances in MD lead to changes in cancer predisposition and whether targeting these pathways for cancer therapy affects metabolic homeostasis and function in normal cells.
