Utah Court Of Appeals Rules That Woman Can Sue Herself In Fatal Car Accident An estimated 32,000 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2013 alone. Thousands more were injured. Sometimes, we become so accustomed to driving that we forget just how dangerous motor vehicles can be if not properly operated. Automobiles are fast and heavy machinery, which should only be operated with the utmost care. Most car accidents are completely avoidable. These are the auto accidents caused by speeding, distracted driving and aggressive driving. When these bad habits cause crashes, the consequences can be devastating. Barbara Bagley was driving her family's Range Rover through the desert near Battle Mountain, Nevada on December 27, 2011 when a fatal accident unfolded. She lost control of the vehicle and hit a large sagebrush, which caused her vehicle to flip over. Her husband, 55-year-old Bradley Vom Baur, was thrown from the vehicle and suffered life-threatening injuries. He was transported to the Battle Mountain General Hospital, where he died on January 6, 2012 as a result of his injuries. After the deadly accident, Bagley sought permission from a Utah district court judge to file a wrongful death lawsuit against herself. Her attorneys, Mark Rose and Reid Tateoka, argue that Bagley has two separate and distinct interests in the lawsuit. On the one hand, Bagley has an interest as representative of her husband's estate, and therefore has the duty to file this suit in the best interests of the estate. Separately, Bagley would be the defendant in her own capacity. As defendant, Bagley would be represented by her insurance company. Bagley's lawsuit claims that she caused the fatal accident by failing to keep a proper lookout and failing to properly control her vehicle. Initially, a Utah district court judge dismissed the case. Last week, however, the Utah Court of Appeals reinstated her action saying in a unanimous 3-0 decision that Utah statutes do not bar Bagley from suing herself in this type of lawsuit. According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, Utah statutes relating to wrongful death actions permit recovery when the harm is caused "by another." The Utah district court interpreted "by another" to mean by one other than the personal representative of the deceased. The Appeals Court, however, interpreted this phrase to mean harm by one other than the deceased person. Under this interpretation, Bagley's suit against herself is not barred.

NOW SHIPPING ::: CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE War on Drugs Service Medal is an unofficial award of the United States Armed Forces and State Military Forces for general service in the War on Drugs from the June 18, 1971 to present. It is the first "total force" award that recognizes Active, Reserve, Guard, Auxiliary, and State service members with the same award. Provenance & Heraldry The War on Drugs has been waged in urban, rural, and cyber battlefronts. In swamps, forests, mountains, beaches, deserts, oceans, rivers, streets, and alleys. In the sky, above and below water, and from office desks. It has even touched outer space where an arsenal of navigation, imaging, and communication systems dominate. It spans 48 years (and counting), 5 continents, at least 60 countries, more than 1,000 operations, and all branches of the United States Armed Forces. Defining one image that does it justice was nearly as monumental as the epoch itself. Our solution to the infinite complexity was absolute simplicity. No embellishment or sublimination. Just unadulterated reality. The obverse bas-relief depicts Marines maneuvering through a poppy field. It was inspired by the Helmand Province Campaign, where 90% of the world's heroin is derived. More than 2,000 American veterans have been killed and injured fighting in Helmand to-date, and heroin alone has killed more American civilians via overdose then the civilian casualties of the War on Terror, World War I, World War II, Cold War, Civil War, Indian War, and Revolutionary War combined — and counting. The reverse bas-relief features the American eagle encircled by 50 mullet stars. The ribbon represents the fight between good and evil narrowly divided by duty and sacrifice. The divide is 6% of the total width, representing the current veteran population of the United States. The War on Drugs Service Medal was conceived and designed by Thomas Marriott in collaboration with Smith Newnam. The War on Drugs Service Medal may be worn by any service member in the United States Armed Forces (including Active, Reserve, or Auxiliary) and State Military Forces (National Guard and State Guard) that has served in any capacity of drug campaigns, battles, operations, task forces, and interdictions from the 18th of June 1971 to present. An incomplete list of War on Drugs operations can be referenced here. Medal — 1.375 inches (35mm) x .125 inches Ribbon —1.375 inches x 1.5 inches MAKE IT COUNT

Until now, the literature on innovation has focused either on radical innovation pushed by technology or incremental innovation pulled by the market. In "Design-Driven Innovation: How to Compete by Radically Innovating What Things Means", Roberto Verganti introduces a third strategy, a radical shift in perspective that introduces a bold new way of competing. Design-driven innovations do not come from the market; they create new markets. They don't push new technologies; they push new meanings. It's about having a vision, and taking that vision to your customers. Think of game-changers like Nintendo's Wii or Apple's iPod. They overturned our understanding of what a video game means and how we listen to music. Customers had not asked for these new meanings, but once they experienced them, it was love at first sight. But where does the vision come from? With fascinating examples from leading European and American companies, Verganti shows that for truly breakthrough products and services, we must look beyond customers and users to those he calls 'interpreters' – the experts who deeply understand and shape the markets they work in. "Design-Driven Innovation" offers a provocative new view of innovation thinking and practice. Good Cases: All the stories / examples are interesting, and the dynamic nitty-gritties are pointed out, e.g. the highly circumstantial success of Fiat Panda. Biased Opinion: In order to make a strong case for Design-Driven Innovation (DDI), the author has to antagonize the whole discipline of User-Centered Design (UCD). UCD is described as something similar to asking the users what they want, which is scandalously biased. It's true that UCD puts emphasis on users, but that in no way implies we can not articulate or facilitate brave new insights by understanding the users and their contexts. Thus DDI is actually NOT in any conflict with UCD. The author takes a very narrow view of UCD just to highlight how different DDI is, which a shame. Trivial Theory: The framework the author presents is vague and close to truism. Saying something like "to implement disruptive innovation you need to gain the right insights, find the right people, etc." is similar to saying "to innovate you need to be innovative", which doesn't really yield any more useful information. Although the characteristics of successful radical innovations in the past are summarized, that alone by no means affords a proven theory – it's just a déjà vu case of correlation vs. causation. Just because many radical innovators have something in common doesn't justify that you can follow the same rule and succeed. The book has a promising point that I can totally agree with, but the author simply fails to deliver anything convincing to make that point.

[gplus count="true" href="http://solidhealthinsurance.com/blog/brand-prescription-drug-coverage-one-important-tool-to-have-affordable-health-insurance-in-santa-monica" size="Medium" ]Brand Prescription Drug Coverage should be part of everyone's affordable health insurance coverage in Santa Monica, so that you are prepared for the unexpected. Cancer Medication are expensive. The most recent New York Times article describes the cost of life prolonging cancer medication. "For example, Provenge costs $93,000 for a course of treatment, while Zytiga costs about $5,000 a month. Another of the new drugs, Sanofi's Jevtana, costs about $8,000 every three weeks." Medicare will decide this Thursday if they will approve Provenge in their program. So if you have generic drug coverage only health insurance coverage, you have to pay this medication by yourself, are you prepared for this? It is important to have brand prescription coverage. Check your employer health plan. Some Individuals and Employers are choosing generic only prescription plans to reduce their ever rising health care premium.

My sister-in-law's husband passed in December. His death was expected. He had battled with health issues for many years and was ready to go home. In the hospital again, he mentioned to his family that he was tired of living. They listened to his request and disconnected his breathing apparatus. January brought another death in the family. This time it was another sister-in-law's husband who passed. He was in his 80's, battled diabetes and other health issues for years. Problems intensified suddenly, leading to hospitalization and a passing. Both of the deaths were back East. Weather conditions made it difficult for us to travel. Death usually comes to our family in threes. When we came home from visiting our youngest daughter, a friend phoned. She is 84, and in the hospital. A blood clot in her lungs after Christmas required medical attention. She told me that there were no open beds in her hospital. She asked me if I knew her husband was in the hospital also. I had to admit the I was unaware. No one had phoned me. Her husband had a touch of the flu, and possibly either a stroke or a heart attack. Because of their advanced age and health conditions, they have a health care worker who didn't like the color on his face and phoned their daughter. My friend was hoping to come home on Sunday. She will be on an expensive blood thinner for a year. Her husband had an artery opened to improve his blood flow. I'm not sure when he will be released. About that time I realized that there had been two recent deaths in the family. I can't say I was waiting for number three, but I wasn't surprised when my phone rang and announced another passing. This time it was a friend from the camper. She was 98 years young. Even though she had lost some of her vision, she was active at Light House for the Blind, listened to books, exercised and remained as active as she could. A fall caused a rapid decline in her health. She didn't want to go to a hospital so her family arranged for 24 hour hospice in their home. Even though her funeral was closer, our unpredictable weather dictated a card sent rather than a trip. Since the last two deaths were within two days, I told someone that they were having a party in heaven. I don't want to admit that I'm getting older too. But I'm paying more attention to weather conditions than I used too. Since I neither see nor hear "my friends in high places" — I try to pay attention. When I opened the bible to Isaiah 47:11 and read "Disaster shall befall you which you cannot allay," I was worried. My youngest daughter and family were on the road, going to visit her sister. I wrapped the family in my prayers. I should have wrapped myself. Late in the afternoon — both hands full — I headed upstairs, only to have my foot slide off the stair, causing me to fall backwards. I couldn't stop the fall and landed on my back on the first floor. It was only a couple of steps up, somehow I turned the corner and sprawled on the floor. I aged my husband by 10 years and also my son. I was glad the disaster predicted was for myself instead of my daughter and her family. I wasn't glad that I had caused concern not only to them but to myself. THANK YOU LORD — I wasn't seriously injured. No broken bones — slight injury to various body parts. I was lucky. Reviewing the fall, I surmised that wearing the slipper socks wasn't in my best interest. They don't have the traction needed for the steps. This was the second time that I fell in December. The first was heading down the basement stairs, both hands full. I surmised at that time that I was too weighed down — out of balance. Thankfully that time I landed standing on my feet, injuring my side but no broken bones. Two falls in one month, thankfully no bones broken but I didn't like the direction I was going in. Was a message trying to get through and I wasn't paying attention? My son, who lives in our home, had recently purchased a new blood pressure machine. I checked my blood pressure and was surprised at the reading. Extremely high. When the news was shared with the rest of my family, they were very concerned. Some thought I should go to the emergency room immediately. I determined to monitor the situation. My readings over the next few days decreased but not into a zone that I liked. I promised I would go to the doctor. When I phoned for an appointment, mentioned my problem and gave my current reading, the person on the phone said it was too high, to come in that afternoon. When my blood pressure readings were examined on the computer, I learned that they had been in the high range for some time. Even though I didn't have headaches or other high blood pressure problems, meds were prescribed. Since I remember a time when my aunt had a serious stroke, I'm not against taking medicine. After all, I'm no longer young. Making my children happy, I signed up for a well being check next month. I had promised my youngest daughter that I would schedule a doctors visit this year. A visit was arranged as well as a few other tests. Heading for the pharmacy, I reviewed the past month. "My friends" listen to my problems, and often help. I'm hoping this was the action I needed to take. I really don't want another fall. The next one might be more dangerous. I'm taking other positive steps. I need to improve my balance and strength. Exercise is in my daily plan. I really didn't think I could draw, let alone paint. Growing up, I wasn't often found with a pen or pencil in my hand, sketching something or doodling. I don't think that I took time to play. I knew that an uncle attended the Art Institute in Chicago, an uncle in Sweden painted as did one of my cousins. I knew there was artistic talent in my family, I just didn't know that I had some. Then our campground had a bring your body and we will provide materials and instruction to paint a picture. I had the time and signed up for the experience. I was amazed at the painting that was produced. It still hangs in our room addition at the camper. I also realized that I had fun and wanted to explore painting in oil. I purchased many books, containing pictures that I liked — with instructions, and produced many canvases. At the time I was working. I was so pleased with some of them that I took them to work and sold a few. A fellow worker liked a painting I did of Moonlit waves against the rocks. She planned to take it to Sweden with her. After a few years, life became busy and I stopped painting. My family has been suggesting that I take up a paint brush again. Times have changed. My husband has emphysema and the scent of oil and turpentine would not be beneficial. I thought acrylic paint might be an option. Years ago I knew how to mix oil paint and how to blend colors. I had a good idea of how to accomplish a painting. Acrylic is different. First, it dries quickly. That can be an advantage, but not when the paint dries on the pallet or on the canvas too quickly. Since I have remembered how I taught myself to paint before, I have picked up a couple of books. Maybe I haven't spent enough time investigating the artists information or they don't have what I need. My first concern is how to keep the paint usable on the pallet. The various books haven't dwelt on that subject. Thankfully, I have "friends in high places." They might be involved in my picking up a paint brush again. Yesterday I stopped at Half Price Books for a cup of coffee. I wanted to check books on a writer I'm enjoying at the moment. Did they have any of her books? No! But entering the store, a display on painting caught my interest and I found a book on Acrylic painting that might have the information that I'm looking for. The date on the price tag shows that it is a recent acquire. The book looks promising and came home with me. I'm hoping to begin reading it soon. I have paints, I have canvas — now I have a book that might help me with the task. Once I have the basics, I might be ready for the more advanced books. Two last thoughts — Christmas presents — I have TWO new paintings to put up on our walls. The artists were both my granddaughter and grandson. Our grandson read a story he is writing. I was impressed not only by the story, but also his imagination. It was well written! Perfect gifts for a proud gramma!

British Cycling is not "at desperation stakes" yet, says performance director Stephen Park, despite the team winning just one gold medal at the Track Cycling World Championships in Poland. Britain could only finish sixth in the medal table - but were 10th four years ago in Paris before going on to win 12 medals at the Rio 2016 Olympics. "It is too early to be writing Britain off yet," said Park. "Medallists who went to Rio were just emerging as riders at this stage." The championships in Pruszkow concluded in disappointing fashion for Britain as they failed to win a medal on the final day. Elinor Barker's opening-day gold in the women's scratch race was followed by silver medals in the men's and women's team pursuit on day two. But Ethan Hayter's bronze in the men's omnium on Saturday ended up as the only addition to their tally. With the Tokyo Olympics now 508 days away, Park said there was plenty of time for Britain to close the gap on their rivals. Britain's cyclists have dominated track events since the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, where they collected 14 medals including eight golds. That was followed by eight golds at London 2012 and six at Rio (where they collected 12 medals overall). You can look at the medals and the finishing positions but you can look deeper and look at the performances. There's a lot to take heart from. Ryan Owens in the team sprint had an excellent first lap. Jack Carlin off the back of an amazing year wasn't quite at his best but he has a bright future. We need that little spark - when you get a confidence boost and morale it's infectious. Hopefully Jason Kenny's amazing form will come back and reignite everyone. You spend the first two and a half years of the Olympic cycle trying new formats, trying new people in different positions and bringing younger riders through. And by now you really want to have an A squad and know what your formation is going to be so you can really focus. Great Britain are renowned for peaking at the right time though. And in my opinion, in Ed Clancy, they have the greatest team pursuit racer on their side, so you never now. Britain's hopes of a medal in the men's madison on Sunday disappeared as Hayter and Oliver Wood faded in the closing stages of the 50km race. Neah Evans was seventh in the women's points race, in which Ireland's Lydia Boylan took silver. And Katy Marchant lost out in the women's keirin at the quarter-final stage. The 26-year-old had received a reprieve in the first round repechage when New Zealand's Olivia Podmore was relegated. However, the spark that carried her to a silver at the World Cup in New Zealand in January was absent as she exited the competition. "I was just having one of those days where I couldn't execute what I wanted to," she said. "It's been a long season and it has taken its toll. This is not where we wanted to be right now but unfortunately we have not been able to pull it together. "I have every faith that we are aiming towards Tokyo gold medals."

#UK Tiger Woods has no timetable on healing or playing NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Tiger Woods painted a bleak picture Tuesday on when he can return to golf or even get back to doing anything more than just walking. Woods had two back surgeries in a span of 18 months followed by what he described only as another « procedure » in the same area last month. He has not started rehabilitation and does not know when his back will allow for that. « The hardest part for me is there's really nothing I can look forward to, nothing I can build toward, » Woods said. « It's just taking it literally just day by day and week by week and time by time. » Woods is at the Hero World Challenge as the tournament host, not one of the 18 players at Albany Golf Club. The only time he touched a club was to pose for a photo, and he leaned on it while talking to Justin Rose and Zach Johnson on the putting green. A month away from turning 40, the smile did come as easily for Woods. He has not competed since Aug. 23 at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he attracted record crowds in his first appearance and played his best golf of a bad year. He went into the final round two shots behind and tied for 10th. He didn't realize that would be his last event of the year, and last tournament for longer than he knows. « Was it a surprise? Yeah, » Woods said. « Because as I was alluding to that week and subsequent weeks, I felt my hip was killing me and I didn't think it was coming from my back. We worked out in the trailer each and every day and just tried to loosen up my hip. And OK, fine, we went out and played. But I didn't feel any back discomfort. « Come to find out it wasn't my hip, it was coming from my back. » He had another microdiscectomy Sept. 16 and then he revealed Oct. 30 another « procedure, » which he said was in the same spot. Asked the degree to which he can function, Woods said, « I walk. I walk and I walk some more. » Woods, who has spent 683 weeks at No. 1 in the world ranking, is now at No. 400, his lowest as a professional. He has not won since the Bridgestone Invitational in 2013, when he was the PGA Tour player of the year. And now he can't even begin to imagine when he might play again. « I have no answer for that, and neither does my surgeon or my physios, » he said. « There is no timetable. » Woods said this was different from his four knee surgeries, even the worst one in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines for his 14th major. He had a reconstruction of his left knee and was told it would be about nine months before he could get back. Woods returned eight months later and won in his third start. « For nerves, there are really no timetables and therein lies the tricky part of it because you can come back earlier or you can come back later. It just depends on how the nerve heals and how it settles, » he said. Would he be surprised if he was nothing more than a host at the Hero World Challenge a year from now? He couldn't answer it. « So where is the light at the end of the tunnel? I don't know, so that's been hard, » Woods said. « I had to reset the clock each and every day and OK, here we go. This is a new day and this is taken for what it is. I listen to my surgeon. I listen to my physios and we just take it day by day. Hopefully, the day-by-day adds up to something positive here soon. » He agreed to be a vice captain under Davis Love III at the Ryder Cup next year, though Woods still wants to play in the matches. He says it has been two months since he hit a golf ball — « a chip shot left handed » — and that he passes most his time playing video games. Woods said he wants to play again and that anything he accomplishes the rest of his career « will be gravy. » But he sounded at peace with what he already has done — 79 career victories on the PGA Tour (second only to the 82 by Sam Snead), 14 majors (second to 18 by Jack Nicklaus), PGA Tour player of the year a record 11 times. « I've had a pretty good career for my 20s and 30s, » he said. « For my 20 years out here, I think I've achieved a lot, and if that's all it entails, then I've had a pretty good run. But I'm hoping that's not it. I'm hoping that I can get back out here and compete against these guys. I really do miss it. » The first step? Getting healthy enough to play soccer with his two children. « If I can get to that, then we can start talking about golf, » he said. « But let me get to where I can pass the time and really be a part of my kids' life in the way that I want to be part of it physically, not just as a cheerleader. » from Business Insider http://ift.tt/1ODteNN

The rule is given its name after another Indian legend Vinoo Mankad, which is not acceptable at all to Gavaskar. During RCB's match against Delhi Capitals, when Aaron Finch was miles out of his crease, Ashwin warned him for the same. Last Updated:October 07, 2020, 17:51 IST Edited by: Madhav Agarwal Cricketnext Staff Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar is known to speak his mind, and this time around he has expressed his opinion on the rather controversial rule in cricket — mankad. The rule is given its name after another Indian legend Vinoo Mankad, which is not acceptable at all to Gavaskar. During RCB's match against Delhi Capitals, when Aaron Finch was miles out of his crease, Ashwin warned him for the same. IPL 2020 FULL COVERAGE|IPL 2020 SCHEDULE|IPL 2020 POINTS TABLE On air, Gavaskar said "Ashwin had tried to 'Brown' Finch". Bill Brown, for reference, is the first player who was run out for leaving his crease by Vinoo Mankad way back in 1947. Talking to Indian Express on the issue, Gavaskar said, "They have fielding restrictions that stipulate a minimum number of players within the 30-yard circle and if someone stands just a foot outside, then that's ruled a no-ball. If someone gets out that ball, it's not out. I have no issues with it, as that's the rule. Why is it okay if a batsman does it at the non-striker's end? In today's time, thanks to technology, a batsman is run out even if it's just millimeters and we fuss so much with endless replays to rule it out. It's because of the mythical spirit of cricket, applied arbitrarily. Aaron Finch was almost a yard or yard-and-a-half down before Ashwin had released the ball. Just imagine the advantage the non-striker has." 'I Expected That I'd Get a Call': Suryakumar Opens Up on 'Disappointment' Snub from Australia Tour On This Day in 2020: Mumbai Indians Win Record Fifth IPL Title He added, "The first thing that struck me when I saw that was when will the Aussies learn? Because it happened to Bill Brown in 1947 and we are in 2020; they still haven't learnt. The simple thing is you have to look at the bowler and move out when he releases. You can't look at the batsman, like Finch was doing and walk out of the crease. The law is clear. It's as simple as that." He also elaborated as to why he does not like the rule being called mankad. "Vinoo Mankad is a legend of Indian cricket, one of the great all-rounders who has won matches for India. And you use his name for, what is looked at by the cricketing world, as unsportsmanlike behaviour – that's not acceptable to me. I don't want an Indian legend's name to be disparaged. It baffles me why so many in the Indian media keep using that word as if they don't have any respect for any Indian legends. As Indians, we should be the last to encourage such usage. That's why yesterday on television, I said Ashwin tried to Brown him. Because Bill Brown was at fault in 1947 and not Vinoo Mankad."

Image of the Day: Enamel Repair Scientists engineered a new material that could be developed for use in treating tooth decay. Nicoletta Lanese ABOVE: Snapshot of the repairing experiment on a human tooth Scientists repaired damaged human teeth in laboratory experiments using a new material that mimics the mechanical properties of tooth enamel. Tooth enamel bears a fish-scale–like structure that has proven difficult to emulate in engineered materials, though researchers have come close using aggregations of charged particles known as calcium phosphate ion clusters (CPICs). But so far, materials made with CPICs have been too weak for use in patients. To produce a more stable substance, researchers generated CPICs by mixing the organic compound triethylamine with two ethanol solutions. When applied to human teeth, the resulting material took on the structure and orientation of natural enamel within 48 hours, the team reported August 30 in Science Advances. The toxicity of the material will have to be tested before it can be applied in human patients. Scanning electron microscope images of human tooth enamel six hours, 12 hours, and 48 hours after the CPIC material was applied. The blue area is the native enamel, and the green area is the repaired enamel. Scale bars are 1 μm. C.

Art for the Health of It provides a way to utilize art as a calming agent in a stress-laden environment, while demonstrating the health and healing benefits of artistic images and expression. The 2017 exhibit was displayed in the Corridor between Elevators A and C at Southeast Hospital. Scroll down to see the winning artwork, read the Juror's Statement, and see a list of all participating artists. Laura Schumpert is an award winning fine art photographer based in Cape Girardeau, MO. Specializing in surrealism Laura's artwork is exhibited in galleries nationwide and recognized with multiple awards. Using a square format and painterly techniques her photographs are designed to remove you from reality and reflect the innermost emotions of life. Laura is active in the photography industry with public speaking and education, operating a full time studio, writer/illustrator and film productions. Laura continues her career internationally and locally in Cape Girardeau, MO. "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." – Pablo Picasso. "The focus of this show is one that I would think speaks to every artist. Art is created for a variety of reasons and is specialized to each and every piece an artist completes. Some create for beauty, others for relaxation. I personally use art to channel the "dust" of life into the work instead of lingering with myself. No matter the reason you create, there is healing to be found in ever color, composition, and piece leading to the great duality art provides as there are two distinct viewpoints: the artist and the viewer . . . . . . When reviewing submissions for this show, I thought of all involved. How an artist evoked an emotional response into their work, and also how a spectator could feel when viewing. Each piece of work so different from the next, just as unique as their creators. From painterly landscapes to imaginative world an artist contrives: this show provides immense depth."

Bill Belichick has already announced that he's coming back to coach the team and Mac Jones is likely to be the starting quarterback. The only real question is whether Matt Patricia returns as offensive coordinator or if owner Robert Kraft demands that Belichick choose someone with an offensive background to help develop Jones to his full potential. If progress is made next season, it's possible that New England could win 10 games and potentially a game or two in the postseason. What Channels Offer the New England Patriots Game Live Stream?

Le Front national ou Front Nasionaal (en afrikaans) est un parti politique d'Afrique du Sud formé en décembre 2013 à partir du Federale Vryheidsparty. Prônant la sécession et l'autodétermination des Afrikaners (et tout Sud-Africain d'origine européenne qui s'identifie à cette communauté), le parti est devenu en janvier 2020 le parti d'autodétermination afrikaner. Principalement actif dans la province du Gauteng, il y a réalisé ses meilleurs scores lors des élections générales sud-africaines de 2014 (0,03%) et 2019 (0,04%). Bien que n'ayant aucune relation connue avec le Front national français, son nom a été choisi en 2013 en connaissance de cause. L'écrivain et polémiste afrikaner Dan Roodt, l'un des cofondateurs, francophile et francophone, espérait perturber le paysage politique sud-africain comme l'avait fait en son temps le front national français. Dirigé par Hannes Engelbrecht, le parti porte le projet de Volkstaat, abandonné par le Front de la liberté, qu'il souhaite établir à partir de Pretoria sur le modèle de Kleinfontein. En novembre 2019, l'avocat Johannes Stephanus (Jurg) Prinsloo, ancien député conservateur (CP) de Roodepoort (1987-1994) et ancien membre de l'Afrikaner Volksfront, est élu à la tête du parti, succédant à Jan Daniel Lotter. En janvier 2020, le Front national change de nom pour prendre celui de Parti d'autodétermination afrikaner.

This report surveys research and policy in the field of gender and economic development, with particular emphasis on economic literature and practice. The begins with a history of gender and economic development thought, and includes a statistical overview of women and men in developing economies, covering data on employment, Millennium Development Goals, and composite indices of gender equality. The report is mainly based on an analytical framework for applying gender and economic development concepts to policy by linking production relations in the household to macroeconomy. In the household model, it emphasizes how gender structures the conditions of provisioning, and the consequences for women's empowerment and human capabilities. It contrasts standard economic approaches to macroeconomy with one that reflects how meso-level institutions like markets or the public sector are themselves "bearers of gender", explicitly incorporating the production of human capabilities in the domestic sector. It applies this framework to a survey of current gender and economic development issues, including globalization, liberalization and women's empowerment, the gendered terrain of central bank policy, the relationship between gender equality and economic growth, and the macroeconomics of economic development and care.

TwoWhiteLights Because three means you're squatting too deep Faster, Higher, Stronger Posted on July 7, 2016 by twowhitelights Faster, Higher, Stronger. What are the Olympics? What does it mean to be an Olympian? How do you become an Olympian, and who decides which sports get to compete for a spot in history? The Olympic Spirit – Jeff Stevens (used under the Creative Commons Licence) The Olympics was one of the Panhellenic sporting events of Ancient Greece. Every four years, a holy truce was called, and athletes and spectators from all over Greece would travel to Olympia to participate. The Games were a huge event, much like today. They were political, religious, cultural… if you were an athlete, they were the pinnacle. If you were a social climber, any one who was anyone would be at the games. If you were an artist, you would visit the games to show off the quality of your work. It's commonly believed that only men could compete in the original Olympics and that it was a hugely misogynistic event, but women could actually compete as charioteers. Other sports included various running races (including one version where the runners would compete in armor), discus, long/broad jump, wrestling, boxing and many others (oddly, if you died during a boxing match, you were declared the winner.) The modern Olympics began in 1896, and have grown and grown in the years since. Like the Ancient Games, the modern Olympics are huge events – being selected as a host is a huge honour, and countries compete for years to be selected. As a spectator, the Olympics is the greatest show on Earth (sorry, Dawkins.) Over 10,000 athletes competed at the London Olympics in 2012: 10,000 of the most highly trained athletes in the world, competing for the glory of their countries, glory for themselves, and to be remembered into the future. It doesn't matter what sports you're interested in, if you have even a shred of competitive spirit, seeing the eight fastest men in the world racing, or the top pole vaulters in the world battle to add just a single centimetre to one another's best jump is going to excite you. What does it mean to be an Olympian? I don't know that I can tell you that, but I know that for most, it is their entire life coming together at one moment. The Olympics is simultaneously the culmination of hundreds of thousands of hours of practice, decades of sports science research, and 3000 year old traditions (the Olympic Flame is still lit from the sun in Olympia by a priestess, then carried by foot across several countries before reaching the Olympic Stadium.) Excuse me for getting soppy, but I truly believe that the Olympic Games are one of the wonders of humanity. The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. The Olympic Creed So I guess that brings us to the Olympic Motto. Citius, Altius, Fortius; Higher, Faster, Stronger What does it mean to be an Olympian? It means you go the highest, move the fastest, you are the strongest. It makes you one of the smartest, best prepared, and most dedicated athletes on the planet. If you're still not excited for the Olympics, you probably aren't a competitive athlete. Powerlifting and the Olympics Powerlifting is not an Olympic sport, however is included as a Paralympic sport. We are also in the odd position where the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships is overseen by the Commonwealth Games, but is not actually included in the games. Recently, AIMS (an organisation affiliated with the IPF) signed a memorandum of understanding with the International Olympic Committee, allowing all affiliates to be included in the Olympic Movement Directory. This is not, as many people have claimed, the same as IOC recognition, however it is an important step towards becoming an Olympic Sport. Becoming an Olympic Sport would be the best thing for the growth of powerlifting. Powerlifters (in most countries, at least) receive nothing from the governments, not for training, not for competitions, nothing. It's hard to promote yourself in your community when you first need to explain what it is that your sport is. The first question I get asked when I tell someone I compete in powerlifting is usually "Oh, you put it over your head, like at the Olympics?" Everyone knows what weightlifting is, even if they can't name it, but the average person has never even heard of powerlifting. It would be a long road to being a "household name" sport, and simply being an Olympic sport would not be the be all and end all of it, but it would certainly help. When there is a chance at a medal at the Olympics, there is much more on the line than for a "hobby sport" (I hate that term) like powerlifting. In some countries, there are financial rewards for medalling ($800,000 for a gold in Singapore!) however the real financial incentives come from corporate sponsorships. You know who sponsors powerlifters? Not Nike, that's for sure. from moneyramblings.com It's not all about the money though. I think that the growth of powerlifting does nothing but good. When you put athletes on TV in front on young children, it influences them; why do you think New Zealand persists as a rugby power house? It's because (among a number of other things) little kids watch the Mighty All Blacks play on TV when they're young, and grow up wanting to be Dan Carter, or Jonah Lomu. Why should we be recognised? The process to being included as an Olympic Sport is not exactly straight forward. There are a number of criteria which should be met – added value; youth appeal; attractiveness for TV, media and the general public; gender equality; minimum impact on the number of events and/or quotas, infrastructure and operational costs and complexity. Starting with the last criterion; minimal impact on the number of events/quotas, infrastructure, operational costs and complexity. Powerlifting is one of the simplest sports in existence, behind perhaps running events. Derived directly from the old caveman sport of "who can lift the largest rock", operational complexity should not be an issue. Given the existing infrastructure for weightlifting, the marginal cost of adding powerlifting is minimal. The same event hall can be used, most of the equipment is the same. Additional costs (personnel aside) would be getting some powerbars, metal plates, and suitable racks. Although adding powerlifting would add a large number of events (each weight class would be considered a separate event), the weightlifting hall usually goes unused after the weightlifting is finished, and so wouldn't slow down the overall operation of the Games (it wouldn't lengthen the critical path). At the last IPF Classic World Championships, 689 lifters competed, of whom 291 (42%) were women and 398 (58%) were men. While not perfect, that's damn good. When you consider that some of the other sports under consideration are men-only, that's a strong plus for powerlifting. While not the most attractive sport in the world, powerlifting is popular. The IPF has 280,000 Facebook likes. The IWF, by comparison, has just 78,000. There were 250,000 live views of the 2016 IPF Classic Worlds, and if you factor in viewing parties that means something like half a million people endured the average streaming quality on Goodlift to watch powerlifting. That's popular – that has to be good for TV and media. Remember, the Olympic motto is "Higher, Faster, Stronger." Stronger. Criteria aside, if we go back to what the Olympics is all about, it's about going higher, going fast, and being stronger. What exemplifies strength better than powerlifting? Despite not even being formally IOC recognised, powerlifting is the perfect fit for the Olympics. I am holding my breathe for Tokyo to elect to have powerlifting as a sport in 2020; Japan has always had a strong presence in powerlifting, so the time seems right. There's not a lot we can do, but sit back and wait now. I hope everyone's training is going well, I'm two weeks out from the Auckland Benchpress Champs and feeling good!

The 40-year old was scheduled to miss the third Test against Australia at WACA stadium in Perth and was to return to join the squad in Melbourne before the fourth Test, But now, the former left-handed batsman will stay at home to be with his wife. ECB had offered full support to the batsman in his decision to miss the Ashes tour. Strauss, who has held the position of director of England cricket since May 2015, also found an unlikely supporter in former England cricketer allrounder Kevin Pietersen. The two have been involved in a bitter rivalry for years which led to Pietersen's ultimate ouster from the England squad. In a tweet, the explosive batsman said that he "ends" all the "tensions" with Strauss as news about his family has helped him in putting "life into perspective". "Here ends ANY tension I may have with Andrew Strauss. What he's going through with his family puts life into perspective. Thinking of the Strauss family!," Pietersen wrote in the tweet. Here ends ANY tension I may have with Andrew Strauss. What he's going through with his family puts life into perspective. Thinking of the Strauss family! England are currently trailing 2-0 in the 5-match Test series against Australia and the ongoing third Test is a must-win game for the visitors.

In a multicultural community such as we find in Canada, it is more and more common to find weddings that represent a broad cross section of cultures, ethnicity and traditions. Many young couples today want to honor their families' cultural heritage or traditions. Mixed marriages are common today. Our schools, community programs and volunteer organizations all welcome people from different backgrounds and these interactions bring about new understandings and relationships. The result is an ever-increasing pool of potential partners. Little wonder that marriages have become much more interesting and fun to plan. From the wedding ceremony, to décor, to food and entertainment the combinations today can be very exciting. However, a couple that already have lots of choices and issues to manage, the expectations from family and community around culture can be quite challenging! Here are a few suggestions and some links to web resources that can help guide you in your decision-making and planning. Know your families' most valued traditions. Ask questions of the elders in your family and get their insights. Help them feel included and a part of your event. Seek advice and suggestions from your family, your friends and your religious advisor/mentor about how to include some of the most valued components without offending anyone or trivializing the (belief). Use these conversations to clarify that this is your wedding but you want to recognize the importance of your history and background. If you don't have family who can help, research on-line or at the library or seek out a local multicultural society or club to help you understand the traditions you are want to include in to your event. If you are blending two cultures together at your wedding, it will be important to look for traditions that complement each other. Be very careful to check that you are not offending anyone by neglecting some aspect of a tradition or treating it disrespectfully. Traditions in the actual wedding ceremony should be treated with respect and thoughtfulness. Many couples have successfully brought their two families together through careful blending of important cultural components that have created an atmosphere of inclusion and acceptance for every member of both families. In many cultures wedding ceremonial clothing is extremely important. It can really enhance a wedding and make it a beautiful visual event when you step away from the classic white dress and tuxedo. Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other Southeast Asian cultures have stunning, unique and colourful attire that can really change the look and feel of a wedding. Families with Indian heritage such as the Hindu or Sikhs can draw on the rich and opulent saris and Nehru jackets and turbans for their wedding party and guests. Those with European backgrounds will find a wide spectrum of traditional attire that can bring a sense of respect for the past or even a touch of old world elegance to the event. In many cultures the food at the wedding is the most important component of all! As you plan your food you will need to decide if you will have the meal catered or provided by family. This decision could be influenced by the venue you choose for your wedding. Some event locations will only allow their contracted food providers on site. Others will want a percentage for providing services and table settings for food that is brought from off site. Of course, there will be some locations that are open to outside caterers doing all the food provision. No matter what you decide make sure that you are clear about the venue's restrictions and expectations. If you decide to use a caterer, it will be important that they meet food safety standards set by the local authorities and have business licenses and insurance. Remember that an event planner may not have the resources in their kitchens to provide ethnic food in the variety or on the scale you may require. With enough advance notice for preparation, your provider may be flexible in offering a few choices of ethnic influenced foods that meet your needs. Check early in the process to ensure that everyone is working from the same understanding. An event planning company may also be able provide you with contacts at reliable local ethnic food providers. As well, don't forget use your own network of friends and family who may be able to direct you to the other noteworthy local sources. One of the key elements in hosting a multicultural wedding is how you communicate with your family and guests about the components you are including from both cultures in your new family. As you prepare for the big day, having conversations with the families so that they understand the choices you have made and, where appropriate, engage appropriately in the activity. With elder members of the family, it is helpful to reassure them of your commitment to honouring their past as you move toward your future. It is important to everyone that where there are sacred or religious pieces that these be honoured by everyone in attendance. Providing information in the invitation, describing the ceremony or ritual prior to it happening or asking the emcee at the reception to explain various events or traditions can all make things go smoothly for all guests. If you are working with a wedding/event planner, a caterer or florist, ensure that they understand the importance of these cultural elements that you want to blend into your event. A wise planner will be quickly on board and willing to do research and ask questions to understand the nuances and significance of your traditions or culture. Start early in this communication, prior to paying for any service, to ensure that you have a great team to support you in your planning. If you encounter any push back or negativity about the multicultural components, you should move on to someone who is more supportive and excited about assisting you. Ask lots of questions and use the opportunity to help educate them as they work with you on this exciting endeavour! Simply Elegant Events can assist you in finding the best space to make your special day a unique and memorable event. We are a full service provider for any size-wedding event.

Jessica and Robert were married in a small, intimate ceremony at a Vargo's on a beautiful windy day! The peacocks were out in full force, wailing it up all throughout the ceremony and peeking through the windows at the reception... they were even so gracious as to join in the fun when we did the couple's portraits afterward in the gardens (it didn't hurt that the groom decided to try and "feed" them a flower petal to get them to come closer-- I was just happy there were no disgruntled-peacock attacks once they discovered that it was indeed not food... hehehe). After the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds joined their friends and family for a dinner reception, where the wine and tears flowed as everyone toasted Jessica and Robert's new beginning. This was certainly a sentimental bunch! Fear not, they knew how to cut a rug-- there was much fun and dancing to be had as they partied on into the night. Many thanks to Kelly Balfour of Eventology weddings not only for the referral of this sweet couple, but for her great work on the wedding day!

In order to give a significant level of protection to consumers from white-collar crimes, a combination of strategies needs to be applied by the Australian government. Currently, the country's system of regulation has been developed to some extent, but some improvements can be added to it. Particularly important in this regard is the analysis of international practice. For example, "in the United States specific legislation has been enacted make certain telemarketing practices illegal" . This practice is very efficient for protection of consumers from telemarketing. This approach can be applied in Australia as well. Also, some other fraud practices can be made illegal in legislation, for example, advertisements of products which are completely different from the characteristics of the products. Another practice which can be borrowed by Australia from the US is the practice of "law enforcement gerontologists" [who] have been used to work with older people and community groups to alert potential victims to new schemes and initiate a variety of self-help programs, some of which make use of older people as volunteers. " At present, Australia has already employed some of the world practices in regulations of white-collar crimes against consumers. The model of regulation which has been adopted in Australia conforms to the "regulatory pyramid" model. Regulation is provided at all the levels in order to bring the "white-collar crime cycle" to an end. Many issues are currently being addressed in order to improve the existing system of regulation. Very much attention is devoted to protection of older people in Australia. For example, "the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission have powers to investigate and prosecute misleading and deceptive practices, whether they affect older persons or others. " Some other instruments of regulation have been suggested by specialists. For example, Smith mentions that "in order to raise awareness of the problem of fraud directed at older persons, and to ensure that cases of deception may be prosecuted effectively, it has been suggested that specific legislation should be enacted to proscribe some of the more flagrant deceptive practices which target older people" . Currently, police services in Australia deal with providing protection to consumers against all the types of fraud. The role of information in this regard is also very important. In order to keep consumers informed about all of the recent developments in the white-collar crimes, law enforcement agencies investigate all of the recent cases of white-collar crimes and give information about that to consumers. All of the people who can be potential victims of fraud activities are altered about the existing practices. However, it is necessary for law enforcement agencies to provide a well-balanced policy in this regard. Oftentimes, due to the lack of planning, they notify those people who are not going to suffer from fraud and neglect those who are potentially sensitive to that. It has become clear nowadays that consumers need all kind of professional advice in order to be able to fight against fraud. "Professional advisers play a pivotal role in the prevention and control of white-collar illegality. They are in a position to exert a significant influence upon the moral climate within which their clients operate" . The role of professional advisers has increased particularly rapidly due to the deregulation which has occurred in the recent years. If legislation does not regulate some of the issues, individuals start looking for ways to regulate their activities themselves.

This long article in The Atlantic, January-February 2015, examines American attitudes to the military but makes points applicable to Australia, given the long-running change in the nature of our military engagements, from mass involvement in World War II to specialised expeditionary forces now. James Fallows is a veteran political journalist. The complete article is worth reading for its insights. It is also relevant to our current defence policy, as it includes some trenchant analysis of the development of the F-35 aircraft, to which Australia is committed as its 'joint strike fighter'. The article bears comparison with James Brown's book Anzac's Long Shadow. Compare also with a piece about arms expenditure in Australia and whether it leads to war. Hugh White's remarks on 'soft wars' are also relevant as is Elizabeth Samet on American attitudes to the military. Fallows describes fulsome praise of the military by President Obama but notes the lack of reaction by the television audience. This has become the way we assume the American military will be discussed by politicians and in the press: Overblown, limitless praise, absent the caveats or public skepticism we would apply to other American institutions, especially ones that run on taxpayer money. A somber moment to reflect on sacrifice. Then everyone except the few people in uniform getting on with their workaday concerns. By contrast, American attitudes to the military during World War II were much more balanced. At the end of World War II, nearly 10 percent of the entire U.S. population was on active military duty—which meant most able-bodied men of a certain age (plus the small number of women allowed to serve). Through the decade after World War II, when so many American families had at least one member in uniform, political and journalistic references were admiring but not awestruck. Fallows says that '[t]he difference between the earlier America that knew its military and the modern America that gazes admiringly at its heroes shows up sharply in changes in popular and media culture'. He looks at irreverent World War II cartoons, thoughtful or satirical war movies and television shows which poked fun at military characters. Let's skip to today's Iraq-Afghanistan era, in which everyone "supports" the troops but few know very much about them. The pop-culture references to the people fighting our ongoing wars emphasize their suffering and stoicism, or the long-term personal damage they may endure. He refers to The Hurt Locker, Homeland, Zero Dark Thirty, and other examples. But while cumulatively these dramas highlight the damage that open-ended warfare has done—on the battlefield and elsewhere, to warriors and civilians alike, in the short term but also through long-term blowback—they lack the comfortable closeness with the military that would allow them to question its competence as they would any other institution's. Direct military connections have dwindled. The recent satirical novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, by Ben Fountain, targets a 'thank you for your service' ritual at a football match. The ceremony does a lot for the crowd's self-esteem but looks different to the soldiers. Fallows looks for reasons under three headings, 'Chickenhawk nation', 'Chickenhawk economy', 'Chickenhawk politics'. 'Chickenhawk' is an American term for someone eager to go to war, as long as someone else actually goes. He claims the United States has become 'a country willing to do anything for its military except take it seriously'. America's distance from the military makes the country too willing to go to war, and too callous about the damage warfare inflicts. This distance also means that we spend too much money on the military and we spend it stupidly, thereby shortchanging many of the functions that make the most difference to the welfare of the troops and their success in combat. We buy weapons that have less to do with battlefield realities than with our unending faith that advanced technology will ensure victory, and with the economic interests and political influence of contractors. This leaves us with expensive and delicate high-tech white elephants, while unglamorous but essential tools, from infantry rifles to armored personnel carriers, too often fail our troops. Fallows considers the F-35 story in great detail. The condensed version of this plane's tragedy is that a project meant to correct some of the Pentagon's deepest problems in designing and paying for weapons has in fact worsened and come to exemplify them. An aircraft that was intended to be inexpensive, adaptable, and reliable has become the most expensive in history, and among the hardest to keep out of the [repair] shop. Fallows then looks at oversight of defence budgeting. The most recent defense budget passed the House Armed Services Committee by a vote of 61 to zero, with … one-sided debate before the vote … "The lionization of military officials by politicians is remarkable and dangerous," a retired Air Force colonel named Tom Ruby, who now writes on organizational culture, told me. He and others said that this deference was one reason so little serious oversight of the military took place. Fallows quotes former military man and former Democratic Senator Jim Webb on how senior military officers, while still in service, pave the way for their future careers working for defence contractors. This affects their decision-making about defence procurement. Author Janine Wedel talks about these issues as they apply to military officers and more generally. Fallows considers the consequences of public inattention to the military and its priorities. [P]ublic inattention to the military, born of having no direct interest in what happens to it, has allowed both strategic and institutional problems to fester. A disheartening mess …. with the sour F-35 sauce festering on top …..

Welcome to my Web page. My experience and training are in invasive cardiology, which means I diagnose and treat many types of heart diseases. I am grateful for having this career and for the relationship I share with my patients. I am originally from Irvine, California. I trained in internal medicine and cardiology at the UCLA system of hospitals and chose to start my career here in San Diego, where I work with a wonderful team of physicians, nurses, and staff. I see new and existing members in North County San Diego. I first talk with my patients, learn about their health history and goals, and then present treatment choices to them so that the best decisions can be made. I treat a wide range of conditions in general cardiology. I am experienced in echocardiography, cardiac nuclear medicine, cardiac computed tomography, and cardiac catheterization. I thrive by trying to set a good example for my patients. I exercise regularly. I enjoy dining immensely, but I try to make smart choices when eating out. I enjoy travelling, especially outside of the usual tourist stops. I savor the opportunity to discover new locations and try local foods. I am also an avid fine arts collector.

"The entire school community has been asked by both the Board of Trustees and by administration to identify changes that will save money," Chief Financial Officer Rob Levin said. To do this, they must not only look at the obvious, such as tuition and budget, but also all the various trips and privileges provided to students that can cost parents a substantial amount of money. Barzdukas said it was not an easy decision, but the most important thing to everyone was figuring out how to save money and keep the athletic experience fundamentally the same. The eliminated trips include travels for the purpose of training and team bonding, and trips to out-of-town competitions. For example, the track team will not be going to Greensboro, North Carolina, for the Nike Outdoor National High School Championships in June. Other cancelled trips include the cross country team's expedition to Big Bear for altitude training and team bonding, the field hockey squad's trip to St. Louis for the Gateway Tournament, girls' basketball to Palm Springs and San Diego and girls' volleyball to Hawaii. "I understand that our country is facing a terrible economic situation and we all have to make sacrifices. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some solid California tournaments for us to attend instead," field hockey coach Erin Creznic said.

GREEN MEPs have won cross-party backing for a new EU 'roadmap' on eliminating all discimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. With intolerance on the rise across the EU, Greens called for an EU-wide action plan based on all Member States adopting a coherent approach – with the European Commission empowered to take concrete follow-up measures against countries that do not comply. Green MEP Jean Lambert, who is a member of the European Parliament's cross-party Intergroup on LGBT Rights, said: "MEPs have today made clear that homophobia should no longer be tolerated in Europe. Despite EU legislation to protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace, there is still massive discrimination, bullying and violence – in schools, workplaces and in everyday life situations. To address this, MEPs have today supported the call for an EU roadmap against homophobia and discrimination based on sexual identity. "The European Commission must finally outline a coherent approach at EU level, with concrete action against this undermining of European values. The strong support from almost all political groups for this report shows that homophobic tendencies in Europe are losing ground and a large majority in Europe no longer wants to accept this intolerance. Homophobic laws are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated in Europe.

by Online Editor · Published October , 2012 · Updated February , 2013 Valkyrie is a 2008 American history film set in Germany during World War II. The film depicts the 20 July plot in 1944 by German army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler and to use the Operation Valkyrie national emergency plan to take control of the country. The movie starred Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, one of the plotters. It also starred Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard, Terence Stamp and Tom Wilkinson. Plot Summary: During World War II, Wehrmacht Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise) lost a hand and an eye during an RAF air raid in Tunisia. After recruiting Stauffenberg into the German Resistance, Olbricht (Bill Nighy) presents Stauffenberg at a meeting of the secret committee which has coordinated previous attempts on Hitler's life. The members include General Ludwig Beck (Stamp), Dr. Carl Goerdeler (McNally), and Erwin von Witzleben (Schofield). Stauffenberg is stunned to learn that no plans exist on the subject of what is to be done after Hitler's assassination. During a bombing raid on Berlin, he gets the idea of using Operation Valkyrie, which involves the deployment of the Reserve Army to maintain order in the event of a national emergency. The plotters carefully redraft the plan's orders so that they can dismantle the Nazi regime after assassinating Hitler. Hitler praises Stauffenberg's heroism in North Africa and signs the orders without fully examining the modifications, believing Stauffenberg's changes "are for the best". At Goerdeler's insistence, Stauffenberg is ordered to assassinate both Hitler and SS head Himmler at the Führer's command bunker, the Wolf's Lair. On July 20, 1944, Stauffenberg and his adjutant Lieutenant Haeften (Parker) go to Wolf's Lair. To Stauffenberg's dismay, he discovers only after the timer has been activated that the conference is being held in an open-window summer barrack, whereas the plotters had intended to detonate the bomb within the walls of the bunker for maximum damage. While his adjuntant waits with the car, Stauffenberg places the briefcase with the bomb armed at the meeting as close to Hitler as possible. The bomb goes off and Stauffenberg safely returns. As Stauffenberg begins to take control of Berlin's government ministries, mid-level officers relaying the orders begin to wonder which side they should be fighting for. Rumors reach Berlin that Hitler survived the blast, but Stauffenberg dismisses them as SS propaganda. Meanwhile, Fromm learns from Field Marshal Keitel that Hitler is still alive. The General refuses to join the plotters, resulting in them detaining him. Major Otto Ernst Remer of the Reserve Army prepares to arrest Goebbels. Army has been duped—rather than containing a coup, they have unwittingly supported it. SS officers are released and the plotters in turn are besieged inside the Bendlerblock. The plotters were shot just after their arrest. Colonel Stauffenberg's last act is to cry "Long lives sacred Germany!" I, Robot is a 2004 science-fiction action film directed by Alex Proyas. Will Smith stars in the lead role of the film as Detective Del Spooner. The supporting cast includes Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, Chi McBride, Alan Tudyk, and Shia LaBeouf. It was nominated for the 2004 Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, but lost to Spider-Man 2. Plot Summary : In 2035, anthropomorphic robots enjoy widespread use as servants for various public services. They are programmed with the Three Laws of Robotics directives that never allow them to hurt any human. Del Spooner (Will Smith) is a Chicago police detective who hates robots. Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), the co-founder of U.S. Robotics (USR) and its main roboticist, dies after falling several stories from his office window. His death is called a suicide, but Spooner, who knew Lanning as a friend believes otherwise. Spooner finds a prototype of the latest USR model, the NS-5, which suddenly flees and refuses to respond to Spooner's orders to stop. Spooner and Calvin, a robopsychologist chase the rogue machine to an assembly factory and the police capture it. The robot refuses to respond but insist they call it "Sonny". Spooner is debriefed and recommends he drop the case but Spooner continues to investigate, his life is threatened by several USR robots — one attack only being thwarted thanks to Spooner's artificial arm — but these are all dismissed as equipment malfunctions. Spooner learns that Sonny has been designed with the ability to override the Three Laws and ignore orders. Spooner regroups with Calvin and they sneak into the USR building with the help of Sonny. As they work their way in, they come to the conclusion that the NS-5s destroyed the older robots as they would attempt to protect the humans. They confront V.I.K.I. who had determined that humans were too self-destructive, and created a Zeroth Law, that robots are to protect humanity even if the First or Second Laws are disobeyed, even if it meant killing some of the people, as part of the NS-5 directives. Spooner and Calvin realize they cannot reason with V.I.K.I. With help of Sonny they fight the NS-5s and Spooner is able to grab the nanites and inject them into V.I.K.I. Within seconds, V.I.K.I. is wiped out, and the NS-5's revert to their natural servitude programming. The government orders the NS-5s decommissioned to the site in Lake Michigan, while Spooner clears Sonny of Lanning's murder, arguing that 'murder' is defined as one human killing another and Sonny is therefore innocent. That makes Spooner and Sonny friends. In the last scene, Sonny appears as a savior to the NS-5s at the Lake Michigan where all the decommissioned NS-5s would go.

Steve Mnuchin Breaking Defense Breaking Energy Breaking Gov MedCity News Opening Bell: 10.25.11 Dealbreaker Hard line adopted on Greek debt loss (FT) European negotiators have asked Greek debt holders to accept a 60 per cent cut in the face value of their bonds, a hardline stance that far exceeds losses agreed in a deal between private investors and eurozone authorities three months ago. The stance, delivered to a consortium of international banks at the weekend by Vittorio Grilli, Italian treasury chief and lead eurozone negotiator, is a victory for German-led northern creditor countries who have been pushing for Greek bondholders to accept far more of the burden for a second bail-out. According to officials briefed on the talks, France, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund remain concerned the tough stance could trigger bondholder insurance policies known as credit default swaps, sparking investor panic because of uncertainty over which financial institutions face CDS losses. In Cautious Times, Banks Flooded With Cash (NYT) Though financial institutions are not yet turning away customers at the door, they are trying to discourage some depositors from parking that cash with them. With fewer attractive lending and investment options for that money, it is harder for the banks to turn it around for a healthy profit. ... "We just don't need it anymore," said Don Sturm, the owner of American National Bank and Premier Bank, community lenders with 43 branches in Colorado and three other states. "If you had more money than you knew what to do with, would you want more?" Go West, Investment Banker (WSJ) The New York state comptroller's office predicted this month that Wall Street would cut 10,000 jobs by the end of 2012, bringing the total losses since January 2008 to 32,000. Bank of America last month announced global staff cuts of 30,000, or 10% of the firm's workforce. Meanwhile, regional banks like KeyCorp, Fifth Third Bancorp in Cincinnati, SunTrust Banks Inc. in Atlanta and U.S. Bancorp in Minneapolis, have been adding bankers for stock, bond and loan offerings, as well as mergers and acquisitions. KeyCorp, for example, has increased its investment banking unit by 36% since the beginning of 2010 and Fifth Third has 20 investment bankers, up from zero a year ago. Investment-banking generates hefty fees that could help the smaller banks offset declining interest income from their core business of lending. "It's a great opportunity for the KeyCorps of the world to lift talent," says Michael Karp, a managing partner at executive search firm Options Group. Regulator Flagged SAC Stock Trades (WSJ) In the 18 referrals made by Finra and the NASD between 2002 and 2011 that were reviewed by the Journal, investigators said they were vexed by SAC's repeated appearance in routine screens of suspicious trading near mergers and acquisitions, earnings announcements and other market-moving news. SAC in a statement said, "Every day our firm transacts in thousands of securities," adding that "it is not surprising that we would be included in a small percentage of Finra referrals." UBS Profit Falls After Trading Scandal (DealBook) UBS said on Tuesday that profit fell 39 percent in the third quarter from the period a year earlier after a rogue-trading scandal had cost it $2.3 billion. Profit fell to 1.02 billion Swiss francs ($1.2 billion) in the three months ended Sept. 30 from 1.66 billion francs in the period a year earlier. The trading loss and charges linked to a cost-cutting plan were partly offset by an accounting gain on the bank's own credit of 1.8 billion francs and the sale of some investments. Mayo Concedes He Dialed Wrong Number (Fox) Glad that's cleared up. Deutsche Bank Earnings Beat Expectations (DealBook) Deutsche Bank, the largest German lender, on Tuesday reported third-quarter profit that was above expectations, as improvement in its consumer banking business helped offset a plunge in trading revenue that the bank blamed on the European sovereign debt crisis. The bank said profit in the three months ended Sept. 30 was 777 million euros ($1.1 billion), after a loss of 1.2 billion euros in the period a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected a net profit of 400 million euros. But pretax profit in the corporate banking and securities division, which includes the investment bank, plunged to 70 million euros in the quarter from 1.1 billion euros a year earlier, the bank said. Perry calls for major spending and tax cuts (WaPo) In almost every way, Perry, who is looking to woo tea party conservatives who have been reluctant to back Romney, presents policies to the right of the former Massachusetts governor. Romney has called for capping federal government spending at 20 percent of GDP, the Texas governor proposes 18. (This year, under President Obama, spending is at 24 percent of GDP). Romney has proposed raising the retirement age to reform Social Security, Perry adopts an idea even more beloved by conservatives and hated by liberals: allowing young people to put their money into private savings accounts outside the traditional retirement system. Romney would cut corporate taxes to 25 percent, Perry 20. While Romney has said one of his goals is a "flatter" American tax code, under Perry's plan, Americans could either choose to pay taxes under the current system, or pay a 20 percent national flat tax. Conservative activists have long called for the adoption of a flat tax. 'Dark Pool' Settlement Shines Light on Potential Abuses (WSJ) Pipeline Trading Systems LLC and two executives agreed to pay $1.2 million in fines to settle charges that the firm withheld the fact that nearly all of its clients' trades on the company's private electronic markets were facilitated by a Pipeline-owned entity, according to Securities and Exchange Commission officials. In a statement, a Pipeline spokesman said the firm was "pleased" to resolve the matter, in which it didn't admit or deny wrongdoing. The case is the SEC's first enforcement action involving dark pools—private markets for institutional traders where large blocks of stock are bought and sold anonymously—and stems from a deeper SEC probe into potential abuses in private share dealing, according to regulators. Raining on Brazil's Banking Carnival (II) Virtually all the major international firms, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Group and JPMorgan Chase & Co., have been building up their Brazilian operations in recent years, hiring bankers, traders and back-office staff. ... The growing army of bankers is chasing fewer and fewer deals, though. The pace of equity offerings this year has slowed to the lowest level since 2005 as stock prices have tumbled. São Paulo's Bovespa Index was down 23.1 percent for the year as of late last month. With prospective valuations reduced, a number of companies have postponed plans for initial public offerings of stock. Merger activity has suffered an even bigger decline, running at barely half of last year's pace. The sudden evaporation of fees is squeezing banks and arousing tensions among domestic banks and some of the newer arrivals. Italy keeps EU waiting on eve of crucial summit (Reuters) Just 24 hours before European Union leaders are due to adopt a plan to reduce Greece's debt burden, fortify European banks to withstand bond losses, and scale up the euro zone rescue fund to prevent market contagion, all eyes were on Rome. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's faction-ridden cabinet failed to agree at an emergency session late Monday on raising the retirement age, one of the key economic reforms demanded by Italy's EU partners as a condition for supporting its bonds. Berlusconi responded defiantly to public pressure from French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at an EU meeting on Sunday, saying in a statement that no one could teach Italy lessons. Berlusconi claims Bunga Bunga parties are 'invention of porn obsessed judges' (Daily Mail via The Awl) Berlusconi also insisted the words 'bunga bunga' which have entered global phraseology, refer to dancing that took place at his parties. He said: 'When one of my guests said "Are we going to have some bunga bunga after dinner?" they were just talking about dancing. I never took part because I have vowed never to dance.' Barclays Faces New Scrutiny (WSJ) n what could turn out to be a new black eye for the bank, Barclays said the U.K. financial regulator has started an investigation into four current and former senior employees, including Chris Lucas, Barclays's finance director. The issue centers on the "sufficiency of disclosure" in relation to fees paid when Barclays conducted an emergency £7.3 billion ($11.45 billion) capital increase with Middle Eastern investors in 2008. The cash injection likely saved Barclays from being bailed out by the government and part-nationalized. The Financial Services Authority and Barclays declined to elaborate further the issue. Barclays said in a statement that it was confident it had satisfied disclosure obligations. In a separate debacle, Barclays said it put aside £450 million to cover the misselling of derivatives products to small businesses. Merkel, Hollande Vow to Do Everything to Defend Euro (Reuters) FYI: "Germany and France are deeply committed to the integrity of the euro zone. They are determined to do everything to protect the euro zone," they said in a joint statement. Treasury Eyes Funds Hidden Overseas (WSJ) he Treasury Department released new details Thursday of a plan to ferret out Americans' global tax dodging, though some lawmakers and banks remain concerned about the initiative's scope and regulatory costs. Treasury officials said they hope to finalize the system's basic rules by the fall and expressed confidence it would be on track for implementation by 2014 as scheduled. Congressional experts said the new system would recover $8.7 billion in tax revenues over 10 years. Facebook Growth Slows Again (WSJ) The company swung to a second-quarter loss largely weighed down by expenses from compensating employees with stock upon its initial public offering in May. Revenue in the second quarter was $1.18 billion, up 32% from $895 million a year ago. That revenue growth was the lowest percentage since at least the first quarter of 2011, when Facebook was more than doubling the amount of money it brought in from advertising, and to a lesser extent, the cut of fees it takes from payments on its platform. Facebook Falls After Report Fails To Quell Growth Concerns (Bloomberg) "It took a long time for the TV market and advertising to be truly understood, it took a long time for search, and I think we're still in that learning curve with a lot of our clients," COO Sheryl Sandberg said. The Guy In The Clown Nose? He's An Olympian (WSJ) Terry Bartlett is a world-class gymnast who leapt, tumbled and swung for the glory of Great Britain in three Olympic Games. Today, he is also a world-class clown. Ten times a week, he dons a red nose and floppy shoes to elicit chuckles at "O," a Las Vegas water-themed circus run by Cirque du Soleil. "It's better than having a real job," says the 48-year-old Bartlett...A few months after Bartlett's audition, Cirque hired him as an acrobat for a new show in Las Vegas. At first, he says, he had to confront some stigma about joining a circus. "Some people were like, whoa, that's not much of a move from what you've done," he says. But today, he says Cirque is so well-known that he gets few smirks. Spanish Banks Hit By Real Estate Woes (WSJ) Caixabank SA, Spain's third-largest lender by market value, number five bank Banco Popular Español SA, and smaller Banco Español de Credito SA, all said they had set aside most of their profit to bolster their buffers against property sector losses, after the government twice this year raised the minimum required provisioning level for banks. Caixabank said quarterly net profit tumbled 78% to €118 million ($145.1 million) and Popular's profit fell 37% to €75.4 million. Smaller Banesto, which is owned by banking giant Banco Santander SA, said quarterly profit sank 97% to €14.4 million. Goldman PR Guru's Charm School (NYP) Under Siewert, the bank has scheduled weekly roundtable meetings between the media and executives including Goldman President Gary Cohn and CFO David Viniar. In one of those meetings yesterday, rising-star Treasurer Elizabeth "Liz" Beshel Robinson met the press for the first time. Not everyone's keen on the changes. Goldman's financial rock star Viniar, sources said, has sworn off appearing on TV. JPMorgan Revamps Business Units (WSJ) The bank said Frank Bisignano, who was tapped in early 2011 to lead J.P. Morgan's transformation of its mortgage banking group, will become co-chief operating officer for the entire company, in addition to continuing as chief administrative officer of the firm. He will transition the mortgage business to Gordon Smith in early 2013. Matt Zames will serve as co-COO, and will remain head of the chief investment office and mortgage capital markets...J.P. Morgan said its investment banks, treasury and securities services and global corporate banks businesses are being combined into the corporate and investment bank unit, to be chaired by Jes Staley, CEO of the investment bank business. Mike Cavanagh, head of treasury and securities, will become co-CEO of the new unit, along with Daniel Pinto, who currently heads EMEA and global fixed income. Romney Riles Londoners With Comments On Olympics Games (Bloomberg) It was supposed to be Mitt Romney's flawless world stage debut. Instead, the Republican presidential candidate spent the start of his overseas trip fending off a furor over his London Olympics comments and scrutiny of a fundraiser with bankers linked to the Libor rate-fixing scandal. "There's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we're ready," London Mayor Boris Johnson told 80,000 cheering people gathered at Hyde Park for the arrival of the Olympic torch last night. "Are we ready? Are we ready? Yes, we are!" Romney worked to put the controversy behind him today, scheduling an interview at Olympic Park to quell the storm of criticism over his comment that the city was unprepared to host the games. "After being here a couple of days, it looks to me like London's ready," he told NBC's "Today" program. "What they've done that I find so impressive is they took the venues and put them right in the city." In the July 25 NBC interview, Romney described reports of difficulties recruiting enough security staff for the games, which begin today, as "disconcerting" and said, "It's hard to know just how well it will turn out."

Q: Jquery : Function used to work but doesn't anymore I have been designing a website for school and coded the html and css. I don't know jquery so someone helped with that part. It was all working well. But later I added another function the displayImages one (with the help of another friend), that made part of the former code not working anymore. It is very likely a super simple error, but I have no clue how to solve it, so any help would be very appreciated ! the website : http://branded.housingcrisis.nl/ The two problems : * *On the top left part, a (word) counter should be displayed anytime one of the tags is selected. It used to work fine but now the counter remains in 'display:none' constantly. I suppose this is linked to the active class used a bit further in the code ? *When a tag is selected or a button toggled, the grey text in the center is supposed to fade away a bit more (to turn into a lighter grey). This also doesn't work anymore, but it started not working before I added the image display thing. jQuery code is here (I've put only 2 sidebarItems but there are 10-15 in the real code) I've left comments from the first friend that helped, since I guess it can be helpful. function displayImages() { var x = document.getElementById("images-grid"); if (x.style.display == "none" || x.style.display == "") { x.style.display = "block"; var e = document.getElementsByClassName("image-toggle"); e.classList.toggle("active"); } else { x.style.display = "none"; } } var sidebarElementType = 'h4'; var sidebarItems = [{ title: 'students ', tag: 'students', count: 64, }, { title: 'investors', tag: 'investors', count: 143, }]; function createSideBarItems() { const sidebarSelector = document.querySelector('div.sidebar .items'); sidebarItems.forEach((item) => { const newElement = document.createElement(sidebarElementType); newElement.setAttribute('data-tag', item.tag); newElement.classList.add('clickable-tag'); newElement.innerText = item.title sidebarSelector.appendChild(newElement); }); } function on() { document.getElementById("overlay-box").style.display = "block"; } function off() { document.getElementById("overlay-box").style.display = "none"; } /** ------ START: SIDEBAR CATEGORY HANDLERS ----- */ /* Handles toggling of the category in the main text.

Home Main Category Rohit Sharma becomes LaLiga's first-ever brand ambassador in India Rohit Sharma becomes LaLiga's first-ever brand ambassador in India Source: Twitter/Rohit Sharma Star India opener Rohit Sharma on Thursday joined hands with LaLiga — Spains top division football league — as its brand ambassador in India. He is the first non-footballer in the history of the league to have signed on the dotted line with them. Rohit comes on-board following a series of major initiatives by the football league in India since 2017, a statement said. "Football in India is in its global growth trajectory and it is heartening to see that it is no more considered as the 'sleeping giant'. Over the course of the past five years, we have witnessed significant growth in the interest in football in India. Credit must be given to everyone associated with it, including the fans," Rohit said. "I am truly delighted to be associated with LaLiga. It's encouraging to see the Spanish giants have made inroads into the Indian football ecosystem through their grassroots programme. Personally, I see this as an interesting journey for me into the beautiful game with LaLiga. I look forward eagerly to connecting with the football fans in India." "India is a very important market for LaLiga from a global perspective, we came here in 2017 to get a better understanding of the pulse of the nation. Over the past two years, and after several ground-breaking initiatives, it is obvious that India has a huge appetite for football, LaLiga said. "Rohit Sharma is the perfect example of this, in spite of being the most renowned face in Indian cricket right now, he is also an ardent football and LaLiga fan. In his persona on and off the field, Rohit embodies the LaLiga standards and principles. We are elated to have him as LaLiga's first-ever non-footballer brand ambassador and as the face of our brand in India," Jose Antonio Cachaza, Managing Director, India said.

Lobo women get commitment from another Texan By Ken Sickenger / Journal Staff Writer Monday, August 28th, 2017 at 8:30pm Lobo recruit Bre'Asiaja Mathews. courtesy Bre'Asiaja Mathews The UNM women's basketball team completed an impressive recruiting two-step on Sunday. Bre'Asiaja Mathews, a 6-foot wing from Garland became the second talented Texan in as many weekends to verbally commit to the Lobos. She joins 5-11 guard Quincy Noble, who announced her commitment to New Mexico seven days prior. It's fair to say the two high school seniors have much in common. Both live and play Class 6A prep basketball in Dallas' northern suburbs. Mathews, who plays for Lakeview Centennial High School, said she's gone up against Noble on a few occasions. Noble plays at McKinney High School, but the players' head-to-head meetings have come in club competition. Lobo recruit Quincy Noble courtesy Quincy Noble "Quincy's good," Mathews said. "We've already talked about being teammates next year. We're pretty excited about it." Mathews and Noble are prolific scorers of similar height who live relatively close together, but their games are distinctly different. Mathews is a left-hander who is adept at attacking the basket, has a soft mid-range shot and a knack for rebounding. She averaged 18.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game as a junior at Lakeview Centennial last season, shooting 54 percent from the field. Mathews alternates between guard and forward but projects more as a big guard in college. Blue Star Basketball evaluator Mark Lewis found plenty to like about Mathews' game in a recent evaluation. He described her as a "strong, athletic forward" who "finishes inside and her vertical is there. Has tools…" College coaches agreed as Mathews was heavily recruited. Her "final four" options were Colorado State, Texas Tech, North Texas and UNM. "I just really liked New Mexico," said Mathews, who visited Albuquerque for the first time over the weekend and announced her decision Sunday. "The coaching staff was very nice, I liked the girls," she added, "and the style of play there really fits my abilities. I like to get up and down." Noble said she had a similar experience on her recruiting visit Aug. 18-20. A right-handed guard who excels from 3-point range, Noble chose UNM over Wichita State, Old Dominion and Pacific. "Honestly, I just fell in love with Albuquerque," Noble said. "UNM has recruited me since my sophomore year, but once I saw the city, I knew I wanted to play there." Noble, an AAU teammate of Cibola standout and Florida State commit Amaya Brown, averaged 17.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals as a junior at McKinney High last season. UNM coach Mike Bradbury confirmed his program is recruiting Mathews and Noble, but NCAA rules prohibit coaches from otherwise commenting on unsigned players. Mathews and Noble join former Gallup star Ni'Asia McIntosh as UNM's first three verbal commits for 2018-19. McIntosh will be a sophomore at New Mexico Junior College this season and plans to join the Lobos as a junior. Contact the writer.

Democracy vs Communism or Donald Trump vs Xi Jinping. Mutual Antagonism defines the US-China Rift Posted byWholeDude July 25, 2020 July 27, 2020 Leave a comment on Democracy vs Communism or Donald Trump vs Xi Jinping. Mutual Antagonism defines the US-China Rift Democracy vs Communism or Donald Trump vs Xi Jinping. Mutual Antagonism defines the US-China Rift. In my analysis, the US-China rift has nothing to do with either President Donald Trump or President Xi Jinping. The US-China relations formulated by Nixon-Kissinger in 1971-72 are fundamentally flawed. I name Nixon-Kissinger initiative to befriend China as the "Original Sin." The relations between Democracy and Communism can only be described as 'Mutual Antagonism'. Rudra Narasimham Rebbapragada Special Frontier Force-Establishment No. 22-Vikas Regiment By Ishaan Tharoor with Ruby Mellen Ishaan Tharoor of The Washington Post. Today's WorldView of July 24, 2020. The U.S. ramps up its confrontation with China China's flag flies behind barbed wire at the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco on July 23. (Philip Pacheco/AFP/Getty Images Under President Trump's watch, the United States is engaged in an intensifying cycle of confrontation with China. Earlier this week, U.S. authorities ordered the shuttering of the Chinese Consulate in Houston on the grounds that it was an espionage hub for Beijing. The Justice Department also said a fugitive Chinese scientist with ties to the People's Liberation Army, China's military, has been given sanctuary in the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco. Separately, the Commerce Department announced sanctions on a new group of Chinese companies for their alleged involvement in China's "campaign of repression" against Uighurs and other ethnic minorities, including the use of forced labor. It's just another week in the spiraling U.S.-China relationship. At a news conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hinted at retaliation, saying that "in response to the U.S.'s unreasonable actions, China must make a necessary response and safeguard its legitimate rights." He described the U.S. allegations of espionage as "malicious slander." The Trump administration only further upped the ante. On Thursday, in what was billed as a "major" foreign policy speech, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke of the dangers of "Communist China" to the future of the "free world." He branded Chinese President Xi Jinping a "true believer in a bankrupt totalitarian ideology" in pursuit of global Marxist "hegemony." Pompeo scolded those within the United States and elsewhere in the West who had chosen the path of "timidity" and acquiescence to China's perceived manipulation of the global system and plans for further domination. Speaking in California at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum — named after the president who first opened U.S. relations with the People's Republic — Pompeo conjured a world shaped by an ideological war dividing the West and China. He declared that "if we want to have a free 21st century," then "the old paradigm of blind engagement with China" could no longer continue, a reiteration of the administration's view that its predecessors were too soft in their approach to Beijing. But the United States' top diplomat stopped short of outright calling for regime change. He said the Communist Party "fears the Chinese people's honest opinions more than any foreign foe" and that it was incumbent on the West to better "engage and empower the Chinese people." Pompeo's critics in the United States are familiar with the script — a sort of belligerent posturing that has included the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaigns against the regimes in Iran and Venezuela. But Pompeo, who conducted a quick trip this week to Europe, where he met a leading Hong Kong dissident in London, is seeking to harness growing global consternation with Beijing and echoed calls from some hawkish corners for a newfangled "alliance of democracies" to better counter China. This comes at a time when China is asserting itself in bolder and more provocative ways than before, from draconian crackdowns at home to recent expansionist maneuvers in the seas to its east and along its mountainous border with India. Inside China, some nationalist commentators are openly discussing the idea of an invasion of Taiwan, even as the United States expands arms sales to the island democracy that Beijing views as its own. While the Trump administration has essentially abdicated a position of global leadership during the coronavirus pandemic, China's authoritarian rulers have hardly boosted their own image. "If there is a silver lining to the current crisis maelstrom, it may be that Beijing has pulled back its own curtain, giving the world an unsolicited preview of unconstrained Chinese might," Kurt Campbell and Mira Rapp-Hooper wrote in Foreign Affairs. "By leaving a power vacuum in the world's darkest hour, the United States has bequeathed China ample room to overreach — and to demonstrate that it is unqualified for a position of sole global leadership."" By choosing unprovoked aggression over enlightened generosity, China has squandered that historic opportunity and possibly also revealed its true character," wrote Arvind Subramanian, a former chief economic adviser to the Indian government. "Soft power, China appears to believe, is for wimpy democracies." But either Trump or his Democratic opponent Joe Biden — should the latter emerge victorious in November — will have to take stock of the risks of the current path of escalation. "Closing the consulate does not appear to be part of a coherent strategy to deter or compel China to alter its behavior," Jessica Chen Weiss, an expert on Chinese foreign relations, told my colleagues. "It looks more like a 'shock and awe' strategy to distract U.S. voters from the Trump administration's disastrous response to the pandemic." Kurt Tong, a former U.S. consul general in Hong Kong, argued during a webinar this week that the United States needs to pursue "concerted diplomacy," rather than rhetorical broadsides, to remind China of its own overreach and miscalculations. He waved away Pompeo's insistence on plunging the world into a grand ideological struggle. "China is an authoritarian state," said Tong, but "the U.S. isn't going to succumb to authoritarianism because China is abusing its own population." "Both sides should practice some ideological humility," wrote Jie Dalei, a professor of international studies at Peking University, as part of a compilation of U.S. and Chinese academic voices on the current state of affairs. "One does not have to change [or] become the other to be able to coexist. In fact, the existence of multiple competitive ideologies is the normal state of affairs throughout most of human history. The domination of one ideology in the global marketplace of ideas is the exception rather than the rule." Ishaan Tharoor Columnist covering foreign affairs, geopolitics and history.

Q: See who invited a discord bot (js) I would like to log when my bot joins servers (i already have the base code) I just need to know how to define the owner of the server! if you know how to do this please help me! A: Well, from the "guildCreate" event, you recieve a Guild class. From which you can access the owner GuildMember class. Then you can get the information about the owner that. Here is an example: const Discord = require("discord.js"); const client = new Discord.Client(); client.on("guildCreate", (guild) => { console.log(`I have been added to a new guild! ${guild.name} Owner name: ${guild.owner.user.username}`); }) client.login("yourToken") It's the best to read thru the docs. A: For checking who invited : const Discord = require("discord.js"); const client = new Discord.Client(); client.on("guildCreate", async guild => { const fetchedLogs = await guild.fetchAuditLogs({ limit: 1, type: "BOT_ADD" }); const auditlog = fetchedLogs.entries.first(); let myChannel = client.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.id == YOUR_CHANNEL_ID); myChannel.send(auditlog.executor.tag + " added bot in "+ guild.name+"\nOwner is: "guild.owner.user.username); }); Also you can check for VIEW_AUDIT_LOGS permission

Q: How get email sent status in mailkit with asp.net core I'm implementing email server in asp.net core 2.0 with mailkit. About my scenario, I have to send email and need to return feedback with the email sent status.I have implemented email send part and it's working fine. I know try catch is a one option.But it's not enough with my situation. Because exception will be occurred only when network error or authentication failure. But exception won't occur if some receiver email is invalid. I have to return email sent status for each email in List.But If there is invalid email or another error I can't catch it. I saw a event called MessageSent. But I don't know to implement that event and whether it's match with my condition. This is my full code. public void SendEmail(List<EmailMessage> emailMessages) { List<MimeMessage> emailQueue = new List<MimeMessage>(); foreach (EmailMessage emailMessage in emailMessages) { var message = new MimeMessage(); message.MessageId = emailMessage.MessageId; message.To.AddRange(emailMessage.ToAddresses.Select(x => new MailboxAddress(x.Name, x.Address))); message.From.AddRange(emailMessage.FromAddresses.Select(x => new MailboxAddress(x.Name, x.Address))); message.Subject = emailMessage.Subject; message.Body = new TextPart(TextFormat.Html) { Text = emailMessage.Content }; emailQueue.Add(message); } using (var emailClient = new SmtpClient()) { emailClient.Connect(_emailConfiguration.SmtpServer, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPort, _emailConfiguration.EnableSSL); emailClient.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2"); emailClient.Authenticate(_emailConfiguration.SmtpUsername, _emailConfiguration.SmtpPassword); foreach (MimeMessage email in emailQueue) { try { emailClient.Send(email); } catch (Exception ex) { } } emailClient.Disconnect(true); } } A: You need override the GetDeliveryStatusNotifications class, something like this: using MailKit; using MailKit.Net.Smtp; using MimeKit; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace YourProject { public class CustomSmtpClient : SmtpClient { protected override DeliveryStatusNotification? GetDeliveryStatusNotifications(MimeMessage message, MailboxAddress mailbox) { if (!(message.Body is MultipartReport report) || report.ReportType == null || !report.ReportType.Equals("delivery-status", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) return default; report.OfType<MessageDeliveryStatus>().ToList().ForEach(x => { x.StatusGroups.Where(y => y.Contains("Action") && y.Contains("Final-Recipient")).ToList().ForEach(z => { switch (z["Action"]) { case "failed": Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} failed for {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]); break; case "delayed": Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been delayed for {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]); break; case "delivered": Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been delivered to {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]); break; case "relayed": Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been relayed for {1}", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]); break; case "expanded": Console.WriteLine("Delivery of message {0} has been delivered to {1} and relayed to the the expanded recipients", z["Action"], z["Final-Recipient"]); break; } }); }); return default; } } } A: There is a good explanation of MailKit's MessageSent here - https://stackoverflow.com/a/48132905/1105937 TLDR: Use the try/catch as that will tell you if the message was sent or not.. var IsEmailSent = false; try { emailClient.Send(email); IsEmailSent = true; } catch (Exception ex) { } You won't be able to tell if the users email address does not exist for privacy issues, but the person who sent the email will get any bounce back messages. If you send out all the emails using a generic email address like do-not-reply@my-cool-app.com then add the app user (the person sending the email) as a "reply to" email so they will recieve a copy of any bounce backs as they occur. A: We can get MessageSent like this.It's confirm email is send by smtp service.But it's not returning email receive status. Eg: my smtp server is gmail and i'm sending email to yahoo email address. Using MessageSent we can confirm that email is dispatch from smtp gmail client.But we can't get the received status of yahoo email. foreach (MimeMessage email in emailQueue) { try { emailClient.MessageSent += OnMessageSent; emailClient.Send(email); } catch (Exception ex) { } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ void OnMessageSent(object sender, MessageSentEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("The message was sent!"); }

My son loved to swim. He was always at the pool and had passed all his swimming badges at a very early age. Swimming was an adventure, it was cool, it was fun, until one day when it almost came to a deadly halt. Chris had been carrying on an animated discussion with a fellow swimmer, when suddenly, he stepped away from his pal and dove into the deep end of the pool. I was not the least bit concerned as I knew the proficiency of his skills. Thus, I continued chatting with other swim moms until I suddenly realized that something unexpected was happening. Chris's friend now appeared frantic as he shook the instructor's arm and pointed at the deep end of the pool. What's going on? I wondered, and then, it hit me. I couldn't spot Chris in the water. With a splash, the lifeguard entered the pool. I stood rooted to the spot. The second hand on the pool clock ticked away, 10, 20, 30, and still no sign of emerging heads from the deeps. My heart began to constrict as my breath stilled, and my lungs ached for the air that I longed to pass on to my boy. Finally, up popped Chris's head, quickly followed by the guard, who, upon climbing out of the pool, gave him the kind of verbal dressing-down which only stems from a combination of abject terror and relief all at the same time. So what had happened? Chris, always a daredevil, had accepted a bet from his pal, who dared him to swim to the bottom of the pool and see if his finger would fit into one of the holes in the drainage system. You guessed it. The finger slipped in easily enough but not back out. How often are we, as God's children, tempted to stick our finger into things where they simply don't belong? How often do we get ourselves into a situation or a crisis of faith because we have chosen to accept temptation's bet and dared to disobey God, thinking that we can get away with it? How often? Probably far more often than any one of us dares to admit! Yes, indeed, He will lift us up out of the dark waters of temptation into the light and life of victory in Christ. Prayer: Father God, thank You that we have power in Christ over temptation. Bless us this day with humble hearts that draw nigh unto You and Your goodness, light, and love. In Christ's name, we pray. Amen. Wonderful and inspiring as always Lynne. I'm glad to hear that your son is okay after that scary experience! Dear Lynne: You are right we have all the power we need in Christ! Lynne – another blessing as I read your devotional! Temptation is a killer if we succumb to it's wiles. Thank you for another great admonition with a real life situation. God bless you. My heart beat faster and faster as I read your message, afraid of what the outcome might be for you and your son. What at perfect illustration describing how easy it is for one to test the waters of carelessness and find ones self in trouble. I am happy all turned out well for your son and your family. I am also thankful for your message warning us, as God's children, we too are tempted to stick our finger into things where they simply don't belong, thinking we can get away with it and finding out we are indeed involved in something that we know is not pleasing to our Lord. When temptation does come may we remember your wise words, "He will lift us up out of the dark waters of temptation into the light and life of victory in Christ.", when we truly trust in Him. A scary but great, great message. Lynne, how frightening that situation must have been, yet what a great lesson you've drawn from it to share with us. Thank you. Blessings.

Citation(s) from the Gun Policy News media archive Illegal Guns Went to Puerto Rican Gangs, Agent Says Orlando Sentinel (Florida) By Henry Pierson Curtis Relevant contents More than 200 guns bought illegally from Central Florida shops went to Puerto Rico drug gangs responsible for scores of murders in recent years, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday. Investigators predicted "Operation Tropical Firepower," as the investigation is known, will expand and link up to 800 weapons to more than a dozen suspects arrested this week and others still at large. Already, it is the region's largest gun-trafficking case in decades… The trade exists largely because Puerto Rico has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States. On the island, for instance, gun owners must be able to account for every bullet they buy if questioned by police. At the same time, Florida laws are some of the nation's least restrictive. Semiautomatic versions of the AK-47 assault rifle, which sell for as little as $350 in Orlando, command $2,000 on the black market in Puerto Rico, according to police and federal court records. Investigators say the black-market buyers are typically drug gangs, whose members are responsible for some of the worst violent crimes per capita in the United States. The island commonwealth is a major port of entry for cocaine and heroin shipped from Colombia to the U.S. mainland… Florida gun stores impose no waiting period or limit on the number of assault weapons people can buy in a single day. Handgun buyers who have a state concealed weapon permit can take home a gun purchase immediately. Those without a permit must wait three days. There are no limits on private sales at gun shows… Original publisher's web link: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/crime/orl-guns1908mar19,0,6684777.story ID: N409 As many publishers change their links and archive their pages, the full-text version of this article may no longer be available from the original link.

Concord Public Library is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $18,771 in funding through the Institute for Museum and Library Services' "Grants to States" program. The grant program is part of the American Rescue Act Plan of 2021 and is being facilitated by the N.H. State Library. Concord Public Library will use this grant award to create an electric "bike bookmobile" program to perform innovative outreach services across the City, serve and promote library services to new community members, and finally, to develop community partnerships that will enhance the quality of life for all of the City's citizens. In the grant application, Concord Public Library detailed that it would meet these needs by using grant funds to circulate and give away books at community events and promote library services and resources. The library is also researching book delivery to local senior living facilities, and outreach to areas of the city with underserved populations. There is a tremendous amount of outreach opportunities in the City, beginning with a new partnership with the City's Parks & Recreation Department and S & W Sports. Library staff have been meeting with the department to discuss events that the bike bookmobile program can enhance. "New Hampshire's strong relationship with its public libraries was made even more evident during the past two years, when librarians and their staffs were able to adjust services nimbly in order to continue to meet the needs of their communities," said N.H. State Librarian Michael York. "The innovative programs funded by these grants will continue to strengthen not only public library services, but also the communities in which the libraries reside." "As pillars of our communities, libraries and museums bring people together by providing important programs, services and collections.

Governor Ralph Northam announced $65.8 million in new funding on Wednesday to increase access to child care and support child care providers amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The funding comes from $58.3 million in Coronavirus Relief Fund and reallocation of $7.5 million in Child Care and Development Block Grant funding from the CARES Act. About forty percent of child care centers in South Carolina are still closed during this pandemic. One director said it would be much worse without grant money through the Department of Social Services helping keep their doors open.

Telemedicine – standard care after the pandemic has passed? By sailor.news team On May 13, 2020 In Marine Insurance P&I Club News No Comments During the current global pandemic, telemedicine has emerged as an effective way for doctors and patients to interact without risk of spreading COVID-19. In the United States, recent legislation which was passed in response to the pandemic has expanded the availability of medical treatment delivered by telemedicine. This legislation has eliminated traditional barriers to telemedicine in significant ways, including: Removing the requirement that there be a pre-existing doctor-patient relationship before the provider can provide telemedicine services; Eliminating the requirement that telemedicine providers use audio-visual platforms, allowing patients to access medical providers using telephones; Relaxing the requirements for the types of technology medical providers can use. Providers are now permitted to communicate with patients using non-HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant technologies such as FaceTime, Facebook video chat, Google Hangouts, or Skype. What does this mean for seafarers? During the pandemic, seafarers may encounter difficulties and delays accessing in-person medical care in the US, including refilling prescriptions and obtaining medical supplies, due to restrictions on shore leave and crew changes, quarantine requirements and port closings. Easier access to telemedicine may help alleviate some of these issues. With easier access to telemedicine, seafarers in US ports can now receive medical evaluations, diagnoses and treatment, including prescriptions, by telemedicine consultation. This is particularly helpful when dealing with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, which can be managed with medication and do not necessarily require an in-person consultation. Local medical assistance companies or ship's agents are available to deliver prescriptions and supplies to the seafarer, avoiding unnecessary person-to-person contact. Is the legislation allowing greater access to telemedicine likely to be made permanent? Although the changes to telemedicine are temporary, some medical experts in the US have urged that they be made permanent. The chief medical officer in Texas said, the pandemic "has driven us to focus on what's practical, what's efficient, and what works." He noted, "hopefully on the back end of this pandemic, we can keep the things that work and then put safety mechanisms around them as well."

We have all been trying really hard for the softest skin possible. Some ideas have been successful and some absolutely useless. I love working out. It keeps me fit, healthy and keeps my skin glowing and radiant. But it sure isn't easy and we all need a little bit of push every day to get us going. When I say I love denims, I mean it. When I say I can wear them all throughout the year, anywhere and everywhere, you need to trust me. Dressing up for cold conditions clearly calls in for some hot fashion. Wearing a stylish winter jacket during the winter chills can make you look hot. Often winters get very cold in Mumbai as this year already seems to be the coldest so far. Besides, it has given rise to numerousskin and dressing problems, for office goers as well as housewives like me.

- June 21, 2021 | June 21, 2021 - ensembleias2 The Ministry of Culture on 18th June had organised a programme to observe the Flag Satyagraha in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. It is a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience that focused on exercising the right and freedom to hoist the nationalist flag and challenge the legitimacy of the British Rule in India through the defiance of laws prohibiting the hoisting of nationalist flags and restricting civil freedoms. The Flag Satyagraha movement by the freedom fighters shook the British government and it infused a new life into the freedom movement. Also called the Jhanda Satyagraha, it was held in Jabalpur and Nagpur in 1923. The news of flag hoisting in Jabalpur spread like fire in the country and after flags were hoisted at several places across the country. Also Read: Afghan Talks The arrest of nationalist protesters demanding the right to hoist the flag caused an outcry across India especially as Gandhi had recently been arrested. Nationalist leaders such as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jamnalal Bajaj, Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari, Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Vinoba Bhave organised the revolt and thousands of people from different regions traveled to Nagpur and other parts of the Central Provinces to participate in civil disobedience. In the end, the British negotiated an agreement with Patel and other Congress leaders permitting the protesters to conduct the slide 83 of hindered and obtaining the release of all those arrested.

Manfield, Paul F. Devlin, Chih-Hung Jen, David R. Westhead, Philip M. Gilmartin Iain W. Manfield Paul F. Devlin Chih-Hung Jen David R. Westhead Philip M. Gilmartin Published February 2007. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.106.090761 © 2007 American Society of Plant Biologists In vitro analyses of plant GATA transcription factors have implicated some proteins in light-mediated and circadian-regulated gene expression, and, more recently, the analysis of mutants has uncovered further diverse roles for plant GATA factors. To facilitate function discovery for the 29 GATA genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), we have experimentally verified gene structures and determined expression patterns of all family members across adult tissues and suspension cell cultures, as well as in response to light and signals from the circadian clock. These analyses have identified two genes that are strongly developmentally light regulated, expressed predominantly in photosynthetic tissue, and with transcript abundance peaking before dawn. In contrast, several GATA factor genes are light down-regulated. The products of these light-regulated genes are candidates for those proteins previously implicated in light-regulated transcription. Coexpression of these genes with well-characterized light-responsive transcripts across a large microarray data set supports these predictions. Other genes show additional tissue-specific expression patterns suggesting novel and unpredicted roles. Genome-wide analysis using coexpression scatter plots for paralogous gene pairs reveals unexpected differences in cocorrelated gene expression profiles. Clustering the Arabidopsis GATA factor gene family by similarity of expression patterns reveals that genes of recent descent do not uniformly show conserved current expression profiles, yet some genes showing more distant evolutionary origins have acquired common expression patterns. In addition to defining developmental and environmental dynamics of GATA transcript abundance, these analyses offer new insights into the evolution of gene expression profiles following gene duplication events. Plant GATA-binding proteins were first identified during studies on light-responsive promoters (Lam and Chua, 1989; Buzby et al., 1990; Gilmartin et al., 1990; Lam et al., 1990; Schindler and Cashmore, 1990; Sarokin and Chua, 1992; Borello et al., 1993) following the identification of conserved GATA motifs within promoters that were up-regulated in response to light, including RbcS and Cab (Dean et al., 1985; Grob and Stuber, 1987; Castresana et al., 1988; Giuliano et al., 1988; Gidoni et al., 1989; Gilmartin et al., 1990; Arguello-Astorga and Herrera-Estrella, 1998). Subsequent studies implicated these elements in the regulation of circadian-responsive genes, and a number of in vitro analyses using plant nuclear extracts led to the definition of several proteins with specificity for GATA elements (Carré and Kay, 1995). The presence of sequences within light-responsive promoters matching the GATAAGG motif previously defined as the binding site for the fungal GATA-binding proteins AreA (Kudla et al., 1990) and Nit2 (Fu and Marzluf, 1990) and the vertebrate GATA transcription factors (Evans et al., 1988; Evans and Felsenfeld, 1989; Tsai et al., 1989; Orkin, 1992; Merika and Orkin, 1993) created the possibility that plant GATA-binding proteins could also be type IV zinc finger proteins (Gilmartin et al., 1990; Daniel-Vedele and Caboche, 1993; Teakle and Gilmartin, 1998). The identification of a gene, Ntl1, from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) encoding a plant type IV zinc finger protein following degenerate PCR (Daniel-Vedele and Caboche, 1993) provided the first evidence for this class of protein in plants. Subsequent expressed sequence tag (EST) and genome sequence data revealed the presence of a gene family of related sequences in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana; Teakle and Gilmartin, 1998). The encoded proteins share extensive sequence similarity over the zinc finger domain to animal and fungal GATA factors but differ from typical animal GATA factors that typically contain two Cx2C-x17-Cx2C zinc finger domains by having a single zinc Cx2C-x18-Cx2C zinc finger (Teakle and Gilmartin, 1998). This configuration is also present within fungal GATA factors WC1 (Ballario et al., 1996) and WC2 (Linden and Macino, 1997) involved in blue light and circadian responses. Subsequently, an additional plant-specific zinc finger configuration, Cx2C-x20-Cx2C, was identified in Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa; Nishii et al., 2000; Riechmann et al., 2000; Jeong and Shih, 2003; Reyes et al., 2004), and full genome sequence analysis confirms the absence of the animal and fungal type Cx2C-x17-Cx2C zinc finger domains in plants (Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, 2000; Riechmann et al., 2000). In vitro binding studies using recombinant proteins have demonstrated the specificity of this class of zinc finger protein for DNA sequences containing GATA motifs (Teakle et al., 2002; Jeong and Shih, 2003; Sugimoto et al., 2003). Although plant GATA factors were initially implicated in light-mediated (Castresana et al., 1988; Giuliano et al., 1988; Buzby et al., 1990; Donald and Cashmore, 1990; Gilmartin et al., 1990; Lam et al., 1990; Schindler and Cashmore, 1990; Borello et al., 1993) and circadian-responsive gene expression (Carré and Kay, 1995; Teakle and Kay, 1995), they have also been predicted to play a role in the control of nitrogen metabolism (Daniel-Vedele and Caboche, 1993; Bi et al., 2005) based on the involvement of GATA factors in the regulation of nitrogen balance in fungi (Fu and Marzluf, 1990; Kudla et al., 1990; Scazzocchio, 2000). However, there is now a growing body of data, both from analysis of mutant phenotypes arising from disruption of GATA genes and from expression and bioinformatic analyses of members of this gene family in wild-type plants, which connects GATA factors to a wide range of different biological functions. The Arabidopsis genome contains 29 GATA factor genes (Riechmann et al., 2000; this article). Mutations arising from disruption or overexpression of only four of these genes have so far been reported. These studies have identified effects on a range of processes; the ZIM (GATA25) overexpression phenotype shows altered cell elongation (Nishii et al., 2000; Shikata et al., 2004), mutation of HANABU TARANU (HAN; GATA18) in the han mutant shows defects in flower and shoot apical meristem development (Zhao et al., 2004), and disruption of BME3 (GATA8) shows defects in seed germination (Liu et al., 2005). Mutation of GNC (GATA21; Bi et al., 2005) reduces chlorophyll levels and produces defects in regulation of expression of a range of genes involved in sugar metabolism. Interestingly, expression of GNC is nitrate inducible (Bi et al., 2005). Although some of these effects involve light-regulated processes, none of the currently available evidence conclusively implicates any of these GATA genes as key regulators of photosynthetic gene expression. With the availability of near full-genome coverage microarray platforms and extensive publicly available microarray data sets representing a broad spectrum of growth conditions and mutants, it is possible to identify changes in transcript abundance for those GATA factor genes represented on the arrays. In addition, Web-based tools, such as NASCArray tools, Genevestigator, and others, provide opportunities for data mining to characterize expression patterns of individual GATA factor genes (Craigon et al., 2004; Zimmermann et al., 2004; Jen et al., 2006; Manfield et al., 2006) that may provide insight into potential biological function. This approach has been used previously to predict roles for other poorly characterized genes in secondary cell wall thickening, leading to the identification of mutant phenotypes (Persson et al., 2005). Coexpression analysis tools such as the Arabidopsis Coexpression Tool (ACT; Jen et al., 2006), in conjunction with tools such as Genevestigator (Zimmermann et al., 2004), can therefore be used to identify information facilitating gene function prediction. However, only 21 of the 29 GATA genes are represented by probe sets on the Affymetrix ATH1 array that is the source of the data used by NASCArray tools, Genevestigator, and ACT. Similarly, some of the GATA factor genes are not represented in the extensive datasets generated by Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing (Meyers et al., 2004) and are therefore not amenable to bioinformatics analysis of expression patterns. Bioinformatic analysis of the Arabidopsis GATA family (Reyes et al., 2004) has provided insight into the evolutionary relationships of the different GATA family members, but experimentally confirmed gene structures are not available for the majority of these genes. As a prerequisite for a comprehensive functional genomics analysis of the Arabidopsis GATA factors, we analyzed the entire GATA gene family to experimentally confirm predicted gene structures, including definition of 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs). The identification of transcription start sites by 5′ RACE and discovery of introns within several 5′ UTR sequences have provided experimental confirmation of the location of upstream regulatory sequences. In addition, as part of our on-going studies to define biological functions for members of this family, we have undertaken gene-specific expression analysis using quantitative PCR (qPCR) with different tissues and growth conditions to obtain an integrated expression profile for the whole family. These data complement extensive bioinformatic analysis of GATA expression profiles for those genes represented on the Affymetrix ATH1 array and provide new insights into the biological significance of several members of this gene family. These results are used to elucidate the divergence and convergence of expression profiles following gene and genome duplications. Defining Membership of the GATA Factor Family A number of families of zinc finger transcription factors containing a C2-C2 zinc-binding domain have been defined in plants, including the CONSTANS and CONSTANS-LIKE family (Griffiths et al., 2003), the Dof family, which includes DAG1 and DAG2 (Gualberti et al., 2002), and the GATA family (Teakle and Gilmartin, 1998). These families of proteins contain members that share some common features, for example, similar spacing between the paired Cys residues, and this has sometimes resulted in the consideration of members of different families under the general term GATA factors (e.g. Putterill et al., 1995; Nemoto et al., 2003; Umemura et al., 2004). However, for this study, we used conserved features of GATA factor family members across all kingdoms (Lowry and Atchley, 2000) to identify all GATA factor gene family members within the Arabidopsis genome. The criteria for inclusion based on the zinc finger configuration C-x2-C-x18/20-C-x2-C are: (1) the presence of two pairs of Cys residues within the predicted zinc finger domain that are each separated by two amino acids; (2) a loop of 18 or 20 amino acids between the two pairs of Cys residues; (3) conservation of the amino acid sequence LCNACG around the second Cys pair; and (4) the presence of conserved TPQWR or TPMMR motifs within the X18/20 loop. Table I presents a comparison of selected amino acid sequences from plant, animal, and fungal GATA factors and highlights differences between the CONSTANS and Dof zinc finger configuration. By these criteria, GATA29 (At3g20750; Table I) is the most divergent gene we consider to encode a GATA factor even though the spacing between the first Cys pair is four amino acids rather than the classical two. Gene At4g16141 (Table I) has been considered by some (Riechmann et al., 2000; Bi et al., 2005) to be a GATA factor. However, this assessment would appear to be based solely on the presence of the LCNACG motif; it does not match any of the other defined criteria, and we have therefore excluded it from consideration as a GATA factor. Similarly, At3g17660, used as an outgroup in phylogenetic analyses (Reyes et al., 2004), lacks the necessary motifs for inclusion in the family (Table I). Our bioinformatics analyses resulted in the identification of 29 members of the GATA gene family. During the course of our work, similar database searches were reported (Jeong and Shih, 2003), and we have adopted the nomenclature defined by these authors for our experimental structure and expression analysis of the GATA factor family. Table I. Comparison of amino acid sequences of zinc finger motifs Amino acid sequences of zinc finger motifs from selected Arabidopsis GATA factors representing the four subfamilies (Reyes et al., 2004) and related representative sequences from chicken (Gallus domestica; Evans and Felsenfeld, 1989), Neurospora crassa (Fu and Marzluf, 1990), and Aspergillus nidulans (Kudla et al., 1990) are compared. Highly conserved residues are shown in bold with conserved Cys residues also underlined. The zinc finger domains of other Arabidopsis proteins (encoded by At4g16141, At5g15850, and At3g61850) and previously considered to be GATA factors due to the presence of conserved Cys pairs (shown in bold and underlined) are also presented. Gene identifiers and database accession numbers are shown. Dashes indicate genes without names. Gene Structures Bioinformatic analysis of GATA factor genes in genome sequence has been used to predict transcription units, including the location of introns (Reyes et al., 2004), but to investigate gene function, accurate and experimentally defined gene structures are needed to confirm transcription start sites, as well as to confirm intron splice junctions and delineate 5′ and 3′ UTRs to facilitate identification of regulatory sequence motifs. We used EST database sequence information, where available, to assemble full-length cDNA sequences for the Arabidopsis GATA genes. No cDNA sequence was available for seven of the predicted genes, and 5′ and 3′ cDNA end sequence was incomplete for eight and nine other genes, respectively. We therefore used reverse transcription (RT)-PCR with RNA from a range of tissues to confirm or identify exon-intron boundaries and performed 5′ and 3′ RACE-PCR to determine the limits of the transcription unit for those genes where full-length EST sequences were unavailable. These analyses identified the transcription start and end points, as well as intron splice junctions, for gene family members. Sequences have been deposited at GenBank under accession numbers DQ875127 to DQ875134. In the case of GATA14, we were unable to obtain any 5′ UTR data to confirm the transcription start site of this gene, and for GATA16, we were unable to obtain 3′ UTR information. However, cDNA sequences were identified for all genes, providing evidence that therefore there are no untranscribed pseudogenes in the family. Assembled gene structures for the GATA genes are presented in Figure 1 . The phylogenetic relationships of the different family members, as defined previously (Reyes et al., 2004), are represented diagrammatically. GATA factor gene structure and phylogeny. Genes are numbered following published work (Jeong and Shih, 2003) with Arabidopsis Genome Initiative codes and gene names also presented. Gene structure diagrams are presented in the order and in the subfamilies reported by Reyes et al. (2004). Exons are indicated by black boxes with 5′ and 3′ UTRs of the mature mRNA represented by white boxes. Where there is no data for UTR length (GATA14 and GATA16), this is indicated by a dashed line. Introns are represented by lines in dark gray or in light gray where the intron is present in the 5′ leader. A nonconsensus splice donor and acceptor junction is indicated by the appropriate bases. Gene structure diagrams are to scale (see scale bar) except for very long regions where the length is given in base pairs above the region. Our analyses have identified features within the genes that could not have been predicted using in silico analysis alone, including introns within the 5′ UTRs of 10 of the GATA genes, as well as the absence of a predicted short exon in GATA13 (Reyes et al., 2004; Fig. 1). We have not identified any alternative splicing of GATA transcripts, although one gene, GATA28, features a nonconsensus donor-acceptor splice junction, GC-AG. A number of GATA genes contain short upstream open reading frames (suORFs) in the 5′ UTR in addition to motifs involved in modulating RNA stability and translation (Supplemental Table S1). The average lengths of GATA 5′ leader and 3′ UTR sequences, 153 ± 98 nucleotides (nt) and 217 ± 90 nt, respectively, are similar to transcriptome averages of 125 nt and 248 nt (Kawaguchi and Bailey-Serres, 2005). Such information and knowledge of 5′ leader intron size and position are prerequisites for the delineation of promoter elements and construction of promoter-reporter constructs. These analyses will also inform searches of T-DNA insertion lines to identify disruptions within transcription units as well as support in silico predictions of transcription regulatory motifs. Gene Expression Patterns Comprehensive microarray data sets are available for some members of the GATA gene family, but several of the GATA factor genes (indicated by asterisks in Table II ) are not represented on the Affymetrix ATH1 microarray. Gene-specific confirmation of microarray expression data and in-depth analyses on individual genes, using, for example, northern and in situ expression analysis, is available for a very limited number of genes in the GATA family. Phylogenetic analysis of GATA factor genes based on protein sequence data has identified four subfamilies (Reyes et al., 2004). However, these bioinformatic analyses do not provide any insight into gene function or divergence of expression profiles following gene duplication during genome evolution. To obtain a comprehensive overview of expression dynamics of the GATA family and evaluate the expression profiles in relation to phylogenetic relationships, we have undertaken a qRT-PCR analysis of all 29 family members. Table II. Comparison of GATA expression families with subfamilies based on coding sequence similarities Sequence subfamilies (indicated by different numbers in the Sequence Subfamily column) are presented as previously defined (Reyes et al., 2004), while expression families are based on expression information from Figures 2, 4, and 5. Genes not represented by probe sets on the Affymetrix ATH1 array are indicated with an asterisk against the gene name. We designed primers specific for each of the GATA factor genes (Supplemental Table S2) and performed RT-qPCR to generate a comprehensive expression analysis of all members of the family. This approach provides the greatest sensitivity and quantitative detection of genes expressed at low levels (Czechowski et al., 2004). We performed an analysis of cDNA from light-grown and dark-grown etiolated seedlings to define which members of the GATA gene family are developmentally light regulated. We then determined the influence of circadian regulation on the gene family. We also analyzed cDNA from a clearly defined set of adult tissues, namely roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and siliques, as well as cell culture tissue, to generate an expression dataset that together with the light-grown and dark-grown seedling expression data was used to compare expression profiles between different family members and support the grouping of genes based on this simple set of expression criteria. The expression data are presented as three sets: Figure 2 presents expression data derived from light-grown and dark-grown seedlings, Figure 3 shows the analysis of circadian regulation, and Figure 4 presents the developmental expression in roots, stems, leaves, flowers, siliques, and cell culture. The cDNAs used for analysis of light- and dark-grown seedlings and dissected organs were prepared and analyzed by qPCR in parallel. It was these data that were used in combination to produce a cladogram, grouping genes by the similarities of their expression (Fig. 5 ). An overview of the results is initially presented followed by a detailed analysis of the different expression clades identified by expression pattern clustering. Expression of GATA genes in light- and dark-grown seedlings Transcript abundance for each GATA gene was measured by qPCR analysis of cDNA from light-grown (photomorphogenetic) and dark-grown (skotomorphogenetic) seedlings. Results for light-grown and dark-grown samples are indicated by white and black bars, respectively. Values are the result of duplicate analysis of two biological replicates and are shown with se. The ratio of expression levels in light- and dark-grown tissues is presented. Circadian expression patterns for selected GATA genes. The expression of genes with a significant level of expression in light-grown seedlings collected over a circadian time course was analyzed over a time course designed to identify genes showing evidence of clock regulation in the absence of light signaling, following standard procedures. Gene expression was measured by qPCR analysis of cDNA from samples of light-grown seedlings collected every 4 h. Results presented show two biological replicates (dashed lines) and the average (with se bars) of duplicate analysis of the two biological replicates. GATA expression profiles in adult tissues. Transcript abundance for each GATA gene was measured by qPCR analysis of cDNA from roots, stems, leaves, flowers, siliques, and cell culture (abbreviated as R, St, L, F, Si, and C, respectively). Values are the result of duplicate analysis of two biological replicates and are shown with se. Clustering of Arabidopsis GATA factors based on expression patterns. Expression profile data for all GATA genes in roots, stems, leaves, flowers, siliques, light-grown seedlings, dark-grown seedlings, and cell culture was used to construct a cladogram grouping genes according to the similarity of their expression patterns. Increasing expression level is indicated by squares from black to red. Reports of DNA-binding activities in plant nuclear extracts recognizing GATA motifs in the promoters of light-responsive genes (Lam and Chua, 1989; Buzby et al., 1990; Gilmartin et al., 1990; Lam et al., 1990; Schindler and Cashmore, 1990; Sarokin and Chua, 1992; Borello et al., 1993) and information from published microarray data indicating light-regulated expression of some GATA genes (e.g. Harmer et al., 2000; Tepperman et al., 2001; Monte et al., 2004) underpins the perceived involvement of GATA factors in the control of light-responsive transcription. To identify those family members that are up- and down-regulated during photo- and skotomorphogenesis, we compared expression in 7-d-old light-grown seedlings with 7-d-old etiolated seedlings. The majority of genes are expressed during one or both of these growth conditions. Only GATA13, GATA14, and GATA29 show minimal expression in either sample. A number of genes show greater than 2-fold higher expression in light-grown than dark-grown seedlings (Fig. 2), with the greatest differences observed for GATA6, GATA7, GATA21 (GNC), GATA22, and GATA23, with GATA22 showing a 75-fold difference in expression level. In contrast, four genes show stronger expression in etiolated over light-grown seedlings, namely GATA2, GATA4, GATA9, and GATA12, with GATA2 showing a 5-fold difference in expression. The identification of GATA genes showing differential regulation between light-grown and dark-grown seedlings, coupled to the implications of GATA factor involvement in circadian regulation, led us to perform RT-qPCR analysis of circadian regulation of the GATA gene family. We followed published methods (Millar et al., 1995; Harmer et al., 2000) and used primers designed to the transcript for CCA1 (Wang et al., 1997) as a control (Fig. 3). Data are presented from two independent biological replicates, each containing two technical replicates. Dotted lines indicate the biological replicates and the solid lines represent an average of the two data sets. A very clear and circadian regulation of CCA1 transcript levels was observed peaking at subjective dawn with increases in transcript level preempting subjective dawn (Fig. 3), confirming clock entrainment of seedlings. Thirteen GATA genes were expressed at a sufficient level in the assays to evaluate their circadian regulation (Fig. 3). Of these 13, nine revealed rhythmic expression. Five genes, GATA1, GATA3, GATA7, GATA8, and GATA25, showed an expression peak coinciding with CCA1 at 24 h (subjective dawn), while GATA21 (GNC) and GATA22 produced a circadian peak at 20 h, preempting dawn. In contrast, expression of GATA9 and GATA12 peaked at 28 h, 4 h after subjective dawn. A number of genes, namely GATA1, GATA3, GATA7, GATA21, and GATA22, showed damping in the amplitude of the second peak of transcript abundance. Analysis of GATA2 revealed rhythmic behavior, but independent biological replicates showed different phases of peak transcript abundance; averaging data from these duplicate experiments therefore does not portray a single clear rhythm (data not shown). The different phases of the rhythm in these samples are surprising, as the assays were done using the same RNA samples used for the analyses shown in Figure 3. GATA11, GATA24, and GATA28 were arrhythmic. These results identify a set of clock-regulated GATA factor genes showing different phases of expression. In addition, these data reveal that not all light-modulated GATA genes are under the control of the circadian oscillator and that some of the gene family members under strong circadian control are not directly influenced by growth in the light and dark. The analysis of GATA factor gene expression in differentiated tissues and cell culture material identified six genes that show less than 2-fold expression variation in different parts of the plant, namely GATA1, GATA5, GATA11, GATA25 (ZIM), GATA26, and GATA28 (Fig. 4). Other family members reveal different levels of differential expression in different samples, with some showing enhanced expression levels in flowers, others predominantly expressed in roots. Only GATA22 is expressed predominantly in leaves. GATA13, GATA14, and GATA29, none of which are represented on the ATH1 Affymetrix gene chip, show highly specific expression in cell culture, roots, and siliques, respectively. Analysis of Expression Clades To facilitate inferences of functional relationships, including potential redundancy between genes, and to investigate whether evolved expression profiles correlate with previously defined phylogenetic groupings based on amino acid sequence, we integrated expression pattern data for all 29 genes across eight different RNA samples by clustering with respect to similarities in expression pattern (Fig. 5). Strikingly, few GATA genes are expressed in predominantly one specific tissue; rather, the expression profiles show expression in most RNA samples analyzed with the different relative levels of expression revealing major expression groupings that we define as seven expression clades (Fig. 5). All of the samples analyzed, with the exception of the suspension culture, consist of complex mixtures of cell types with some commonality of cell types between the different tissues. This situation may contribute to the broad expression profiles of some genes, but the data clearly illustrate that the clustering of family members by expression profile does not correlate precisely with sequence-derived phylogenies. These differences are summarized in Table II. Expression clade 1 represents those GATA genes that are predominantly expressed in roots. The six genes in this clade are also expressed to varying degrees in other tissues, but GATA14 shows the strongest preferential expression in roots with only limited expression in other samples (Fig. 4). GATA14 shows extremely low levels of expression in seedlings (Fig. 2), indicating a difference in expression between adult soil-grown roots and roots from agar-grown seedlings. GATA23 and GATA19 are members of sequence subfamily II (Fig. 1) that have not arisen by gene duplication (Reyes et al., 2004) but show very similar patterns of expression in relation to organ specificity (Fig. 4) and in response to light (Fig. 2). The key difference in expression of these two genes is reflected by different relative expression levels in stems, flowers, and roots. Analysis of GATA23 gene expression patterns, using ACT (Jen et al., 2006; Manfield et al., 2006) and Genevestigator (Zimmermann et al., 2004) tools (data not shown), also reveals this gene and the 20 genes showing strongest coexpression are most strongly expressed in the root elongation zone. Similar bioinformatic analyses for GATA19 using Genevestigator and ACT (Zimmermann et al., 2004; Jen et al., 2006) are compromised by the relatively low level of expression of this gene, as detected by microarray analysis. However, in agreement with our RT-qPCR analysis, the 20 genes most strongly coexpressed with GATA19 (data not shown) are expressed in roots and flowers, and, more specifically, stamens. The enhanced expression in flowers is evident in the heat map shown in Figure 5. This gene pair also shares similar expression profiles in light-grown and dark-grown seedlings where the differences in signal intensity possibly reflect differences in the sizes of the root system in the photomorphogenic and skotomorphogenic seedlings. GATA3, GATA8 (BME3; Liu et al., 2005), and GATA16 also present similar expression profiles within expression clade 1, although GATA3 is not expressed in suspension culture cells and shows slightly higher expression in seedlings. None of these three genes cluster through sequence alignment (Fig. 1); indeed, GATA8 and GATA16 represent members of different GATA subfamilies (Reyes et al., 2004). GATA29, which encodes a protein that aligns most closely to that encoded by GATA16 (Reyes et al., 2004), is the only GATA factor gene that shows highly specific expression in siliques and represents the sole member of expression clade 7. The GATA29 zinc finger is also the most divergent of all family members, as it contains an unusual Cx4C Cys pair within the zinc finger domain (Table I). Within this clade, only GATA19 and GATA23 show differences in expression between light-grown and etiolated seedlings, and GATA3 and GATA8 are the only two genes under circadian control. Expression clade 2 is characterized by the enhanced expression of the three members, GATA2, GATA4, and GATA9, in dark-grown seedlings and in mature light-grown plants; the strongest expression is in roots and flowers. Phylogenetic analysis identifies GATA2 and GATA4 as having arisen from a common origin via a genome duplication event (Reyes et al., 2004). Our analyses also highlight GATA9 and GATA12 as a gene pair sharing extensive gene structure and sequence similarity (Fig. 1). These four genes cluster as members of subfamily I (Reyes et al., 2004). The exclusion of GATA12 from expression clade 2 appears to arise due to the high levels of expression of this gene in stem, a tissue where GATA2, GATA4, and GATA9 expression is limited; GATA12 is grouped in expression clade 3. However, all four of these genes show significant down-regulation in light-grown as opposed to dark-grown seedlings and share other expression characteristics (Figs. 2 and 3). Microarray analyses report the circadian cycling of transcript abundance of GATA4 (Harmer et al., 2000) and of GATA2, GATA4, GATA9, and GATA12 (Edwards et al., 2006). Our qPCR analyses reveal circadian regulation of GATA9 and GATA12 with a peak of expression 4 h after subjective dawn (Fig. 3). However, we were unable to demonstrate robust circadian control of GATA2 and GATA4. As discussed above, GATA2 expression cycles but the phase is variable, and GATA4 expression in light-grown seedlings (Fig. 2) is too low to reveal a robust rhythm. Analysis of gene expression patterns using ACT indicates that GATA2 and GATA4 show strong coexpression with each other as well as a significant number of genes with roles in cell wall assembly, including expansins, arabinogalactan proteins, and glycosyl hydrolases (data not shown). These analyses also reveal that GATA2 and GATA4 are coexpressed with PHYA but not with genes encoding other phytochromes (shown as black triangles in Fig. 6A ); PHYA is the eighth-most strongly coexpressed gene with GATA4 (r value, 0.67; P value for the observed correlation occurring by chance, 2 × 10−44). In addition, a number of genes involved in photoresponse signaling, including transcription factors PIL5/PIF1, PIF3, SPT, and HFR1 that act downstream of PHYA signaling, show correlation of expression with GATA4 (P values < 1 × 10−14; these genes ranked in the best-correlated 3% of genes). A P value of 1 × 10−10 is shown on these graphs as a guideline significance threshold. Experimentation, directed by these results, will identify the biological significance of these correlations. Other genes encoding components involved in light and clock signaling, namely HY5, HYH, LHY, and CCA1, showed low correlation r values (between 0.2 and −0.2), indicating uncorrelated expression with GATA2 and GATA4 (data not shown). The similar expression of GATA2 and GATA4 (represented by black diamonds in Fig. 6A) over all array experiments in the ACT database is reflected in the alignment of all data points along the 45° bisecting dotted line. ACT scatter plot comparison of duplicate gene expression. Scatter plots of r values for correlation of expression of all genes in the ACT database against pairs of GATA genes with similar expression patterns. A, GATA2 and 4. B, GATA9 and 12. C, GATA22 and GNC. On each diagram, the query genes are represented by black diamonds. In A, phytochrome apoprotein genes and a selection of transcription factor genes (see text for details) are represented by black and white triangles. In C, genes encoding clock-related components and other transcription factor genes are represented by black and white squares, respectively. The position of the r value corresponding to a P value of 1 × 10−10 is shown as a guideline significance threshold. Similar analyses of GATA9 and GATA12 using ACT reveals no clear overrepresentation of gene ontology terms that might have suggested functions for these genes (data not shown). GATA2, GATA4, GATA9, and GATA12 all show down-regulation in light-grown seedlings. However, scatter plot analysis for GATA9 and GATA12 (Fig. 6B) reveals that genes highlighted in relation to GATA2 and GATA4 (Fig. 6A) show no expression correlation to GATA9 and GATA12. The heart-shaped distribution of data points (Fig. 6B) reveals that there are sets of genes distributed along the x axis and above the 45° bisecting dotted line that show stronger correlation with GATA9 than with GATA12 and vice versa. This divergence of correlation data sets suggests that this conserved gene pair has partially diverged not only in their own regulation but in relation to the genes with which they are coexpressed and potentially regulate. Expression clade 3 (Fig. 5) represents those genes that predominantly show strongest expression in flowers. GATA12 is the outlier of this group with strongest expression in stems, and this gene has already been considered in relation to GATA9 above. All other genes in this clade, with the exception of GATA11 and GATA20, show greater than 2-fold higher expression in light-grown versus dark-grown seedlings, and, with the exception of GATA5, all show low levels of expression in light-grown leaves. This observation suggests that the observed seedling expression profiles in this clade reflect developmental rather than light-responsive expression patterns. The only remaining gene in this clade under circadian control is GATA7, with expression peaking in phase with CCA1 at subjective dawn. GATA10 and GATA11 show very similar expression profiles (Figs. 4 and 5) across the spectrum of samples analyzed and neither is under circadian control (Fig. 3). These genes arose via tandem duplication, and the similarities in expression suggest that they have not diverged significantly either in relation to their encoded proteins or their expression dynamics. Another pair of genes within clade 3 with very similar expression profiles is GATA18 (HAN; Zhao et al., 2004) and GATA15. Phylogenetic analysis (Reyes et al., 2004; Fig. 1) identifies HAN (GATA18) as one of three closely related genes, with GATA19 (HANL2) and GATA20 (HANL1) in subfamily II. GATA20 also forms part of expression clade 3 and shows similar expression dynamics to GATA18, but, as discussed above, GATA19 falls within expression clade 1, as this gene is expressed more strongly in roots than in flowers. Based on sequence analysis, GATA15 is most similar to GATA17, but these genes do not share expression profiles, with GATA17 residing in expression clade 5. The close similarity of expression profiles for GATA18 (HAN; Zhao et al., 2004) and GATA15 (Fig. 5) could provide insight into the potential site of GATA15 function. The final pair of genes within expression clade 3 is GATA6 and GATA7. These genes, together with GATA5, represent a group of three closely related sequences within subfamily I that arose through two different segmental duplication events (Reyes et al., 2004). GATA5 and GATA6 retain greater sequence similarity to each other than either do to GATA7 (Reyes et al., 2004; Fig. 1), yet in terms of expression profiles, GATA5 is the most divergent with almost constant expression across all adult plant organs analyzed, while neither GATA6 nor GATA7 show strong expression in leaves, roots, or suspension culture cells. Expression clade 4 contains only two members, GATA21 (GNC; Bi et al., 2005) and GATA22, and these genes are characterized by showing significantly high levels of expression in light-grown seedlings. Together with GATA23, these genes show the strongest differential expression between light-grown and etiolated seedlings, with GATA22 showing a 75-fold difference in expression levels (Fig. 2) and the highest level of expression of any GATA gene in adult leaf (Fig. 4). These three genes cluster in subfamily II with GATA21 and GATA22 arising from a duplication event between chromosome 4 and 5 (Reyes et al., 2004). GATA23 is the most divergent of the three as revealed by gene structure (Fig. 1) and also by expression profile (Fig. 5). Notwithstanding the significant differences in expression between light- and dark-grown seedlings for these three genes, GATA23 is not part of this clade, as its expression in light-grown seedlings is relatively weak, and in contrast with GATA21 and GATA22, it shows high transcript levels in root and stem (Fig. 5). GATA21 and GATA22 show no expression in roots or in nonphotosynthetic cell culture but do show strong expression in green photosynthetic tissues, and available array data suggests both circadian and diurnal changes of transcript abundance (Smith et al., 2004; Edwards et al., 2006). Our circadian analyses by RT-PCR (Fig. 3) reveal that GATA21 (GNC) and GATA22 are under circadian regulation with peaks of expression preempting subjective dawn by 4 h. Bioinformatic analysis of GATA21 (GNC) using the Gene Ontology tool within ACT (Manfield et al., 2006) reveals coexpression with a number of light-regulated genes encoding proteins destined for the chloroplast, including those involved in carotenoid biosynthesis (data not shown). In contrast, GATA22 shows coexpression with genes showing overrepresentation of transcription factor and circadian rhythm Gene Ontology terms (data not shown). The ACT scatter plot analysis of GATA21 (GNC) and GATA22 is shown in Figure 6C. The skew of data points representing coexpressed genes away from the 45° bisecting line indicates that of those genes that are coexpressed with both GATA genes, the expression of the majority is more strongly correlated with GATA21 than with GATA22. Although GATA21 and GATA22 share a common origin and present similar conserved expression profiles (Fig. 5), they have diverged in terms of the genes with which they are coregulated and perhaps regulate. This divergence of expression correlation is less dramatic than seen for GATA9 and GATA12 (Fig. 6B) but reveals a number of genes that stand apart from the main cluster. These genes include a number of transcription factor genes involved in or subject to light and circadian regulation, including CCA1, LHY, CONSTANS-LIKE1, CONSTANS-LIKE2, HY5, and HYH. The probability of these observed expression correlations occurring by chance is extremely small (P = 8 × 10−14), and these genes all rank within the best-correlated 0.5% of genes with GATA22. Several of these genes are also coexpressed with GATA21 (GNC) but at much lower rankings (Fig. 6C). The expression correlation of these morning-phased genes with GATA22 contrasts with the anticorrelation of evening-phased genes, such as PIF3, TOC1, GI, ELF3, and ELF4, with both GATA21 and GATA22. Those GATA genes that are ubiquitously expressed but more strongly expressed in suspension culture cells are grouped within expression clade 5. These genes also include family members that show the least differential expression across different parts of the whole plant. This aspect distinguishes them from genes in expression clade 6 that are expressed in the suspension culture cells but show only limited expression in differentiated tissues. Clade 5 contains the three members of subfamily III (Reyes et al., 2004) that contain a 20-amino acid spacer between the Cys pairs of the zinc finger, GATA25 (ZIM), GATA24 (ZML1), and GATA28 (ZML2; Shikata et al., 2004). GATA24 and GATA28 are most closely related based on gene structure and protein sequence (Fig. 1) and also show conservation of expression dynamics. GATA25 (ZIM) and GATA1 also represent a pair of genes with very similar expression patterns despite representing very different GATA factor lineages (Fig. 1). Similarly, GATA17 and GATA26 represent different subfamilies indicating divergent origins but having overlapping expression profiles. Only GATA17 shows greater than 2-fold higher expression in light- compared to dark-grown seedlings, but both GATA1 and GATA25 (ZIM) show robust circadian regulation with peaks of expression at subjective dawn and 2 h prior to subjective dawn, respectively. Expression of the two other members of subfamily III, GATA24 and GATA28, is not influenced by the circadian clock, suggesting either that GATA25 has come under circadian control since the gene duplication event or that GATA24 and GATA28, or their progenitor gene, have lost this aspect of regulation. Although ZIM, ZIML1, and ZIML2 proteins all contain a CCT motif, also present in CCA1, CONSTANS, and TOC1 proteins (Reyes et al., 2004), only GATA25 (ZIM) shows evidence of regulation by the clock (Figs. 2 and 3). The convergence of expression patterns for genes from different sequence subfamilies discussed above is also seen for GATA13 and GATA27, comprising expression clade 6, with strongest expression in suspension culture cells and very little expression in differentiated plants. These genes also show divergent expression patterns from the genes with most similar sequence; for GATA13, the related GATA10, GATA11, and GATA8 (BME3) are expressed in clades 1 and 3, while for GATA27, the related GATA26 is expressed in clade 5. Gene and Protein Structures Our analyses have focused on 29 members of the GATA family in Arabidopsis. We defined membership by conservation of specific sequence elements within the zinc finger domain across the GATA families of all kingdoms. By these criteria, At4g16141 (Table I), which has been considered by others to represent a 30th member of the family (Riechmann et al., 2000; Bi et al., 2005), is not included in our analyses. We, however, included At3g20750 (GATA29) as the most divergent and potential family member. GATA29 differs from the consensus Cx2C-x18/20-Cx2C configuration with Cx4C in place of the first Cys pair but contains many other signature amino acids within the zinc finger. Neither GATA29 nor the possible 30th member show conservation of sequence domains C terminal to the zinc finger identified by Reyes et al. (2004). Sequences C terminal to the zinc finger have been shown to be required for DNA binding in chicken GATA-1 (Omichinski et al., 1993) and in AreA (Manfield et al., 2000). The corresponding regions in plant GATA factors are highly conserved with different sequences represented in the different subfamilies, but these are distinct from the fungal and animal proteins. This region has been proposed, following deletion and site-directed mutagenesis, to be required for both DNA binding and transactivation, leading to the suggestion that plant GATA factors fold to create a DNA-binding domain more similar to the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) GAL4 Cys4His2 zinc binuclear cluster motif (Sugimoto et al., 2003). This model indicates a 2:1 zinc:protein molar ratio rather than the expected 1:1 and this could be tested using colorimetric zinc-binding assays (Manfield et al., 2000). However, we note that the critical His residues are conserved only within proteins belonging to subfamily I (Reyes et al., 2004). This assay would also determine whether GATA29 and the more divergent At4g16141 encode proteins that can bind zinc. Previous analyses of the Arabidopsis GATA factor genes (Jeong and Shih, 2003; Reyes et al., 2004) focused on bioinformatic approaches to classify the members of the family. Jeong and Shih (2003) defined 25 available members of the family into three classes based upon the alignment of the zinc finger and C-terminal tail regions, and Reyes et al. (2004) classified 29 full-length proteins into four subfamilies. These analyses provide important information on the sequence relationships and origins of the family members but do not directly address aspects of GATA factor function. As a first step toward a systematic analysis of GATA factor function, we have undertaken a comprehensive analysis to experimentally define the gene structures and expression profiles of the 29 GATA family members. Bioinformatic gene structure predictions provide an important framework for gene organization and expression analyses but cannot accurately predict many important gene features such as transcription initiation and termination sites, introns within 5′ UTRs, alternative splice sites, and splice variants. Although available full-length cDNA clones contribute significantly to the accurate mapping of a transcription unit, these were not available for many of the GATA factor genes; therefore, accurate identification of regulatory sequences and promoter elements has not been possible. Experimental confirmation of predicted gene structures is therefore an important aspect of functional genomics. Accurate gene structure data in conjunction with gene expression analysis can also provide valuable information on the regulatory mechanisms influencing transcript abundance. Our analyses have provided experimentally verified gene structure models for the GATA gene family using both 5′ and 3′ RACE to confirm available existing full-length cDNA sequences as well as generating data for genes where only partial cDNA sequences were available. However, we could not obtain complete cDNA sequences for GATA14 and GATA16. Although we have confirmed that both these genes are expressed (Fig. 4), we were unable to amplify the 5′ end of GATA14 and the 3′ end of GATA16 by RACE. There is only partial EST sequence data available for these genes, and we conclude that their transcripts must contain sequences that make them resistant to cDNA synthesis. Our analyses have defined and confirmed the presence of introns within the 5′ UTRs of 10 GATA genes, corrected the misprediction of an exon in GATA13, and confirmed a nonconsensus splice donor site in GATA28. This information will not only permit the accurate prediction of upstream regulatory sequences for promoter and gene expression analysis but has identified the 5′ UTR sequences. Analysis of gene expression by steady-state transcript analysis reflects a balance between transcription rate and RNA stability. Many of the elements regulating transcript stability are located within the 5′ and 3′ UTRs. Accurate prediction of these regions is therefore an essential component of gene expression analysis. Examination of sequences across the GATA family has revealed the presence of several motifs with defined roles in the regulation of RNA stability. Ten leader sequences contain a CAUU element defined as a dark-destabilizing motif (Dickey et al., 1997; Hansen et al., 2001), and seven contain the functionally similar ferredoxin-A ACAAAA motif (Dickey et al., 1997; Hansen et al., 2001). These genes include, but are not exclusively, those with higher transcript levels in light- versus dark-grown seedlings. Four of the 3′ UTRs contain AU-rich repeats previously defined as instability motifs (Newman et al., 1993), and 11 genes have leader sequences containing C/T-rich motifs that have a role in controlling tissue-specific gene expression (Bonaventure and Ohlrogge, 2002). Eight transcripts contain suORFs in their 5′ UTRs. Upstream AUGs have been reported as overrepresented in genes with key regulatory roles (Morris and Geballe, 2000). In plants, the role of suORFs has been well documented in relation to Suc control (SC), with SC-suORFs encoding a peptide in the leader sequences of a subset of bZIP transcription factors (Wiese et al., 2004). Other than the suORFs of related GATA genes that encode similar peptides, none of the GATA suORFs show any similarity to each other, to the SC-suORF, or to any other sequence of the genome predicted to be found in a transcript leader sequence. It is possible that any functional role for the GATA suORFs is mediated not through the specific sequence of the suORF but rather by having an effect on the efficiency of translation reinitiation at the downstream authentic AUG (Kozak, 2000). The presence of sequences involved in RNA stability and translational control within some GATA transcripts suggests potential posttranscriptional regulation. These analyses are summarized in Supplemental Table S1. Light Regulatory Roles for GATA Factors and Expression Divergence following Gene Duplication The consequences of divergence on the expression of closely related gene pairs are best illustrated by consideration of three gene pairs: GATA2 and GATA4, GATA9 and GATA12, and GATA21 (GNC) and GATA22. All six of these genes provide multiple lines of evidence to implicate them in aspects of light regulation. The first and last of these gene pairs arose following large chromosomal duplications between 53 and 97 million years ago (Reyes et al., 2004), whereas GATA9 and GATA12 possibly arose from a small duplication event not previously identified. Based on sequence, gene structure, and elements of their expression profiles, GATA2, GATA4, GATA9, and GATA12 could share a common ancestry. While the best measures of divergence of duplicated gene function have come from analysis of mutants (e.g. Causier et al., 2005), the availability of databases of microarray data has allowed the comparison of paralogs by expression patterns (Casneuf et al., 2006). Similarly, our scatter plot analyses reveal the correlations of expression patterns of two query genes with 21,890 other genes over 322 arrays comprising 52 experiments using the ATH1 Affymetrix array. GATA2, GATA4, GATA9, and GATA12 all show higher expression levels in dark-grown over light-grown seedlings (Fig. 2), and this is supported by analysis of publicly available microarray data from a systematic analysis of a range of light treatments (Schmid et al., 2005). Down-regulation of GATA2 and GATA4 expression in light-grown seedlings was observed following a 4-h treatment with far-red, red, blue, and white light, but not UV-A. However, for all wavelengths of light, a 45-min treatment did not produce any changes in transcript levels. GATA9 showed similar but less marked responses to far-red and blue light but not red or UV-A, whereas GATA12 shows no such transcript responses to these various wavelengths of light. These responses to light suggest regulation by phyA (and possibly cryptochrome) action. Published array analyses identified circadian regulation of all four of these genes (Harmer et al., 2000; Edwards et al., 2006), although the amplitude for GATA2 and GATA4 is weaker than for GATA9 and GATA12. Our qPCR analyses support the strong rhythmic behavior of GATA9 and GATA12 with peaks of expression 4 h after subjective dawn. GATA2 showed rhythms with different phases between replicates, whereas for all other genes tested using these same cDNA samples, the replicates were superimposed. The low level of GATA4 expression did not permit circadian analysis of this gene. These four genes show considerable similarities in their developmental expression profiles (Fig. 4); however, GATA12 does not group within expression clade 2 due to the high levels of expression seen in stems (Fig. 5). This difference suggests that one aspect of the divergence of GATA9 and GATA12 is reflected by a gain of expression in stems by GATA12. Scatter plot analysis using ACT reveals that GATA2 and GATA4 are coexpressed with each other, as indicated both by the close proximity of the data points representing these two genes (Fig. 6A) and by the close alignment of data points for coexpressed genes along the 45° diagonal. This observation indicates that following the gene duplication, GATA2 and GATA4 have maintained similar expression relationships with coexpressed genes, including potential target genes, suggesting some conservation of function and potential functional redundancy. We have also shown previously (Teakle et al., 2002) that recombinant GATA2 and GATA4 interact with the same DNA sequence motifs. GATA2 and GATA4 are also tightly coexpressed with PHYA, and a range of genes encoding bHLH transcription factors, including PIL5/PIF1, SPT, PIF3, and HFR1, which have defined roles in light-responsive signaling. We note that none of the other PHY genes are coexpressed with GATA2 and GATA4. The light down-regulation of GATA2 and GATA4 suggests that these GATA genes may have a role in repression of photomorphogenesis. Analysis of the promoters of genes coexpressed with GATA2 and GATA4 shows overrepresentation of G-box and abscisic acid response element-like motifs, the elements recognized by bHLH and bZIP transcription factors (data not shown) supporting common regulation of these coexpressed genes. PIL5/PIF1 and SPT have been shown to have roles integrating light, hormonal, and environmental signals during seed germination and etiolation (Oh et al., 2004; Penfield et al., 2005; Shen et al., 2005). We speculate that GATA2 and GATA4 may play a role in seed germination and seedling establishment, either within the light signaling pathway (Penfield et al., 2005) or through mobilization of lipid reserves by enzymes such as isocitrate lyase and malate synthase (Eastmond et al., 2000; Penfield et al., 2005). In contrast, the ACT scatter plot analysis for GATA9 and GATA12 reveals significant divergence of regulation for these two genes. The heart-shaped pattern seen for GATA9 and GATA12 and the distance between the data points for these two genes suggest that these genes have diverged sufficiently in function that they are now regulated with, and potentially regulate, different sets of genes. We are currently investigating if there is a feature of the regulation of the genes best correlated with GATA 9 that distinguishes them from the genes best correlated with GATA 12 (Fig. 6B). Furthermore, although GATA9 and GATA12 share many expression characteristics with GATA2 and GATA4, including down-regulation in light-grown seedlings, they do not show coexpression with any of the genes involved in light signaling highlighted for GATA2 and GATA4 (Fig. 6B). These observations suggest that GATA9 and GATA12 have not only diverged from GATA2 and GATA4, but they are also diverging in expression from each other and would not be predicted to show functional redundancy. GATA21 (GNC) and GATA22 represent a gene pair with similar expression profiles with strong up-regulation in light-grown seedlings (Fig. 2) and circadian regulation. ACT scatter plot analysis reveals that the majority of genes represented by the data points are located above the 45° bisecting line. This observation suggests that more genes are more closely correlated with GATA21 (GNC) than with GATA22. This observation suggests a greater divergence in expression patterns following gene duplication than between GATA2 and GATA4, but not as great as observed for GATA9 and GATA12. Two genes showing greatest correlation of expression with GATA21 (GNC) and GATA22 are the key circadian transcriptional regulators LHY and CCA1. Our analyses and those of others (Edwards et al., 2006) reveal circadian regulation of these two GATA genes, but their expression is approximately 4 h out of phase with CCA1 (Fig. 3). Mutation of GATA21 (GNC) results in a 20% reduction in chlorophyll biosynthesis and reduces expression of a number of genes involved in carbon metabolism. No mutant phenotype was observed for the two GATA22 T-DNA insertion lines characterized (Bi et al., 2005); either the positions of insertions, which do not abolish GATA22 transcripts, do not disrupt gene function, or GATA22 functions form a subset of those undertaken by GATA21 (GNC) creating partial functional redundancy (Figs. 1 and 5). GATA22 is the most highly up-regulated gene in light-grown over dark-grown seedlings, and along with GATA21 (GNC) shows a circadian peak preempting dawn. The stronger correlation of expression of genes defined in light responses, including HYH and HY5, with GATA22 than with GATA21 (GNC; Fig. 6C) leads us to speculate that GATA22 may also play a role in photoregulation along with GATA21 (GNC; Bi et al., 2005). Additional microarray data reveals that cytokinin induces expression of both GATA22 and GATA21 (GNC; Kiba et al., 2005) and that expression of both genes is induced by red light in a PIF3-dependent manner (Monte et al., 2004). We also note that promoters of genes coexpressed with GATA22 and GATA21 (GNC) show overrepresentation of G boxes (data not shown), and we speculate that these might be among the direct targets of PIF3 or a related bHLH transcription factor. A group of genes, including LHY, CCA1, COL1, and COL2, HY5, and TOC1 have been identified as red light responsive and independent of or slightly dependent on PIF3 for this induction (Monte et al., 2004). Our bioinformatic analysis of microarray expression data using ACT allows the dissection of this group of genes reporting that LHY (Schaffer et al., 1998), CCA1 (Wang et al., 1997), COL1 (Ledger et al., 2001), and COL2 (Ledger et al., 2001) are all coexpressed with both GATA21 (GNC) and GATA22 but more highly ranked with GATA22. Calculation of correlation values using different data sets and using different statistical algorithms further supports these correlations (data not shown). In addition to PIF3, roles have been identified for TOC1, ELF3, and ELF4 in the regulation of LHY and CCA1 (Kikis et al., 2005). Analysis of the expression of GATA22 and GATA21 (GNC) in mutants for these regulatory proteins might reveal whether these are upstream regulators of these GATA genes. Furthermore, the integration of hormonal signaling with light signals (Chen et al., 2004; Cluis et al., 2004; Kiba et al., 2005) suggests that hormones may also play roles in regulation of these GATA genes. Functional genomic approaches to define GATA factor function using T-DNA insertion lines (Bi et al., 2005; I.W. Manfield and P.M. Gilmartin, unpublished data) have shown that many T-DNA insertion lines do not lead to disruption of gene function, perhaps due to insertion in 5′ and 3′ UTRs, introns, or sequences flanking the transcription unit. The availability of experimentally confirmed gene structures will assist future identification of insertion lines that are likely to lead to perturbation of gene function. Many of the available T-DNA lines do not present obvious mutant phenotypes, possibly because the insertion does not lead to loss of the associated GATA transcript (Bi et al., 2005; I.W. Manfield and P.M. Gilmartin, unpublished data), possibly because of functional redundancy, or possibly suggesting that mutations in some of GATA genes lead to subtle mutant phenotypes. However, it is also likely that many phenotypes will be apparent only under specific environmental conditions, and the results we report here will help define conditions where GATA function defects may be expected. For example, our comprehensive expression analyses identified genes with a range of light-regulated responses in etiolated versus light-grown seedlings, some of which had not been predicted, namely, light down-regulation. This suggests that defects in skotomorphogenesis may be possible for GATA mutants. Similarly, the information about the tissue-specific expression of GATA genes, especially for genes not represented by probe sets on Affymetrix arrays, may be valuable in analyzing appropriate GATA mutants. Our RT-PCR expression and bioinformatics coexpression analyses identified pairs of genes with very similar behavior and other groups of genes, for example HAN and HAN-LIKE genes, which may show overlapping roles but each with some unshared functions. The use of ACT and associated scatter plots represents a useful approach for comparing the expression and regulation of highly similar genes and offers a new route for charting the acquisition or differentiation of functions for duplicated genes via changes in their coexpression patterns. In parallel to our bioinformatic analyses and GATA gene expression studies, we have analyzed a range of T-DNA insertion lines, promoter: β-glucuronidase fusions, and undertaken microarray analysis of knockout and overexpression lines for several GATA factor genes. These studies that provide further insight into the role of plant GATA factors will be reported separately. Plant Growth Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Columbia (Lehle seeds) plants were grown in compost:sand:perlite (3:3:1 [v/v]; Sinclair Horticulture) containing the insecticide Intercept (0.28 g/L) in a glasshouse at 22°C without supplementary light. Cell cultures were grown as described previously (Hadden et al., 2006). Seedlings for light-grown and dark-grown analysis were grown on one-half Murashige and Skoog media (Duchefa) containing 1% (w/v) Suc and 0.9% agar. Plates were placed at 22°C and 16:8 h light:dark for 7 d with plates for etiolated seedlings wrapped in two layers of aluminum foil. Seedlings were harvested under dim green light into liquid nitrogen 4 h after dawn. Seedlings for analysis of circadian patterns of gene expression were grown according to Harmer et al. (2000) in a growth chamber at 24°C with a 12:12 h light:dark cycle for 7 d. After dawn on the 7th d, lights were switched to constant light, and from subjective dawn on the 8th d, seedlings were harvested into liquid nitrogen at 4-h intervals. RNA Purification and cDNA Synthesis Total RNA was purified using an SDS-based extraction buffer followed by phenol/chloroform extraction, LiCl precipitation, and purification on Qiagen RNeasy spin columns with a DNase I digestion to remove contaminating genomic DNA (Hadden et al., 2006). RNA concentrations were determined by UV absorbance spectrophotometry and RNA integrity confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis. RNA (2 μg) was converted to cDNA using an oligo(dT) primer and Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Superscript II, Invitrogen) in a 40-μL reaction volume but otherwise following manufacturer's instructions. For qPCR, reaction products were diluted 8-fold before analysis. Due to variation in reference gene expression across these diverse samples, to control for differences in efficiency of cDNA synthesis, the yield of cDNA product was measured directly. Concentration of nucleic acids and nucleotide removal were performed using centrifugal concentration devices (Microcon PCR, Millipore) followed by quantitation of nucleic acids by spectrophotometry (ND 1000 spectrophotometer, Nanodrop Technologies). For the results reported here, the sd was <20% of the average yield for each set of samples. PCR Amplification of cDNA Products To confirm exon positions, primers were designed around the predicted start and termination codons and used in a PCR under standard conditions with a pool of cDNAs from a range of tissues as the template. PCR products were ligated to pGEM T-easy cloning vector (Promega) and ligation products used to transform Escherichia coli DH5α to ampicillin resistance. The sequence of inserts was determined using dye-labeled M13 forward and reverse primers in a LI-COR sequencer. 5′ and 3′ RACE PCR For 5′ RACE, first-strand cDNA was synthesized with an oligo(dT) primer and an adapter-tagged primer for second-strand synthesis (RLM-RACE, Ambion). For 3′ RACE, first-strand cDNA synthesis was primed with an adapter-tagged oligo(dT) primer. Gene-specific primary and nested primers were designed around 200 bp from the predicted end and used in a PCR with the adapter primer. Reaction products were cloned and sequenced, as described above. qPCR and Primer Design Primers (with optimal length of 20 nt and predicted melting temperature of 60°C) for qPCR were designed using the Primer 3 software at http://frodo.wi.mit.edu./cgi-bin/primer3/primer3.cgi (Rozen and Skaletsky, 2000) to give amplicons of around 100 bp. Regions of each GATA gene with similarity to other regions of the genome were identified by BLAST analysis with an E value of 1.0, and these were excluded from the regions used for primer selection. The sequence of each expected amplicon was then used in a BLAST analysis against the Arabidopsis genome, with an E value of 10, to identify any regions of weak similarity to the primers. Any amplicons with sequence similarity to untargeted regions at the primer or immediately 3′ bases were discarded. These bases were in turn excluded for selection of additional primers, with BLAST analysis again until wholly specific amplicons were predicted. Reactions were prepared using 100 pmol of each primer and cDNA products equivalent to 50 ng of template RNA in a 20-μL reaction with PCR master mix (Eurogentec or Bio-Rad). A standard curve was prepared from a pool of cDNA samples diluted through five 5-fold steps and analyzed in duplicate. Samples were analyzed using a Bio-Rad iCycler with an annealing temperature of 60°C over 40 cycles. Following the PCR, melt curve analysis was performed to distinguish the expected amplicon from primer dimers. The amount of template in unknown samples was calculated from the threshold value by the iCycler software using the standard curve results. Amplification efficiencies were typically >75%. Measured transcript levels were normalized to the average level for each gene across all eight samples tested. Data presented is from analysis in duplicate of two independent biological replicates. DNA sequence comparisons were performed using BLAST programs available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information Web site (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST). Sets of genes showing the strongest coexpression with each GATA factor were obtained using ACT (www.arabidopsis.leeds.ac.uk/ACT). Probe set identifications for GATA factors and genes coexpressed with each GATA factor were pasted into the Genevestigator MetaAnalyzer tool (Zimmermann et al., 2004) to identify tissues where each gene is expressed. Expression data were clustered using Java Treeview (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtreeview) to produce Figure 5. Sequence data from this article can be found in the GenBank/EMBL data libraries under accession numbers DQ875127 to DQ875134.

Is Green Cleaning Safer For Homes With Children? Your children are your world, but the world you have them living in might not be the safest. Some cleaners and cleaning materials, may actually be putting your family at risk. Green cleaning solutions are the best options when looking out for the safety of your family. They don't consist of harmful chemicals that cause a wide range of health issues. Substances in non-ecofriendly products are hard on a child's lungs. Younger children's lungs aren't as strong as an adult's lungs. They can't handle breathing in the fumes. It may cause the child to cough or have difficulty breathing. Wheezing is a common concern for kids who are exposed to chemicals. Early exposure to cleaners like bleach, glass cleaner, and disinfectants increase a child's likelihood of developing a breathing problem. For children who have asthma or other breathing problems, the cleaners will irritate the child's lungs and possibly trigger a serious asthma attack. You might be trying to keep dust, allergens, and pathogens from entering your child's lungs, but you might be doing them harm by cleaning with traditional disinfectants. Yes, the microbes might be gone, but there's still the danger of the cleaner. Although not many cleaners still use ammonia, many common cleaners on the market still use isopropyl alcohol, a highly volatile substance. Other dangerous substances include ethanol and methanol. These products even state on the label that they're toxic. Studies have indicated exposure to some of the chemicals increase a person's chance of developing cancer. In children under seven, internal organs, the brain, the immune system and the respiratory system aren't fully developed. This means these chemicals enter the body and do more damage in children since their organs and bodily systems aren't strong enough to protect them against these dangers. Infants and toddlers put everything in their mouths. When you opt for green cleaning products, you're choosing substances that won't harm their internal organs if traces are ingested. Don't forget about your pets. They're inhaling substances that their bodies can't handle as well. Green cleaners are much safer products for daily use, and you should use companies who use green cleaners for residential cleaning. To learn more about our green cleaning services or to schedule an appointment, contact ServiceMaster of Spartanburg today.

Microsoft asks if players want PS5 DualSense features in Series X controller Microsoft may look to take a page out of Sony's book with future iterations of the Xbox Series X controller. Donovan Erskine With the next generation of gaming in full swing, both Sony and Microsoft will continuously work to improve the player experience on their respective consoles. One of the coolest accessories to come out of the new console generation is PS5's DualSense, as the controller is chockfull of neat and immersive technology. Microsoft may be interested in taking a page out of Sony's playbook with future iterations of its Xbox Series X controller, if a recent survey is any indication. As first reported by TechRadar, Microsoft recently sent out a brief survey to Xbox Series X and Series S owners to see how they felt about the console, as well as how Microsoft could improve the experience. In this survey, Microsoft directly asks players if they'd be interested in seeing any of the features from the PS5 DualSense controller implemented in an Xbox controller. There are a lot of unique features in the DualSense that set it apart from the Xbox controller. Adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and dynamic motion controls being among them. The Xbox controller on the other hand isn't too different from what we saw with the Xbox One, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since the Xbox One controller is commonly regarded as one of the best gamepads around. It'll be interesting to see if Microsoft does indeed ship a 2.0 version of the Xbox Series X controller down the road with features like adaptive triggers or haptic feedback. There's several games that feel like they play better on PS5 due to the versatility of the controller, so the move would make sense on Microsoft's part. We here at Shacknews are quite the fans of the DualSense, as we awarded the controller Best Accessory at our 2020 Shacknews Awards. For more on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, you're already in the right place. Donovan is a young journalist from Maryland, who likes to game. His oldest gaming memory is playing Pajama Sam on his mom's desktop during weekends. Pokémon Emerald, Halo 2, and the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 were some of the most influential titles in awakening his love for video games. After interning for Shacknews throughout college, Donovan graduated from Bowie State University in 2020 with a major in broadcast journalism and joined the team full-time. He is a huge Star Wars nerd and film fanatic that will talk with you about movies and games all day.

As it stands, we might see it pop up in Sony exclusives, but it'll probably end there.

This is the second installment in a series written to help HomeAway owners use home automation to get the most out of their rental properties. In the previous post we discussed 8 smart devices HomeAway owners can use to monitor their property and improve the customer experience. Today we're going to discuss how to save additional costs by making your home more energy efficient. The great thing about home automation, is that some of these smart devices overlap, so they can serve multiple purposes. So given you are now >3 years late shipping are you going to compensate me for the $1,500 I COULD have saved if wigwag had actually shipped something ??!!! What an absolute waste of space, don't know how you idiots sleep at night. Might as well just buy someone else's product seen as it will be a long time coming before anyone outside the USA ever sees your product. And that's just the relay. Let alone if any of the other products you are supposedly developing ever see the light of day. WHAT A JOKE THIS KICKSTARTER HAS BEEN!!
