"We have had situations where people have decided to put beer bottles in with Dad or Grandad, or families who make their own casket use treated wood, or line the casket with paper which doesn’t burn and you get lumps of paper when you rake out the ashes." Golf clubs and ceremonial swords and fishing rods are other no-nos.

Martin Brown, general manager of Nestlé’s confectionery unit, said, “The sale of the Violet Crumble brand to Robern Menz recognizes that they are well positioned to combine their existing honeycomb manufacturing with that of Violet Crumble and continue to invest behind this well-loved brand.”​

The commercial interior architectural design award went to Mark McLeay, Creative Arch for Nixon Studio, in Grey Lynn.

To understand the subject matter, examining the concept of diaspora within historical, socio-political context, cannot be avoided, particularly in a global arena where nations jostle for  development and progress.

We measured several characteristics of water molecules and imidazoles in the MD simulations (table S4). The number of water molecules within the membrane region is similar for the R-HC8 and S-HC8 constructs, 68 and 65, respectively, and is significantly higher than for the HC8 system featuring 39 water molecules. This results in the formation of water wires of roughly 3.5 nm in length, much longer than the length of ~1.0 nm of the water wires observed in the selectivity filter of AQP (22). We previously characterized the structure of I-quartet channels in the membrane region and concluded that the most representative channels in our simulation setup are the two central ones, which are less perturbed by boundary effects than the more exposed lateral ones (14). Hence, most of the simulation analysis focuses on these two central channels depicted in Fig. 4A. The visually apparent water ordering and orientation is in part due to anchoring sites provided by the imidazole structure across the membrane. Another contribution to water structuring originates in the electrostatic field generated by the ensemble of charges in the I-quartet system as depicted in Fig. 4B. A positive to negative potential field gradient builds up from bottom to top, driven by an additive effect of the orientation and ordering of imidazole dipoles, which seems to be highly correlated with the membrane contractions observed from QCM-D experiments. Qualitatively, this effect seems proportional to the preserved ordering of the imidazoles and decreases from R-HC8 to S-HC8 and HC8.

This game is awesome Easily worth 30 bucks, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be coming out in the US though, for whatever reason.

In Italy, she said, mozzarella is traditionally made with water buffalo milk, which is whiter because the animal can’t digest beta carotene.

The court urged both Lithuania and Romania to investigate and punish the local officials with knowledge of the scheme. Lithuania’s president said the country would accept the judgment but other officials said they would study the possibility of an appeal, and noted that there was an open investigation by the prosecutor-general’s office into the allegations. Romania continues to deny hosting secret CIA prisons. 

The Israeli military deployed more than 100 special forces snipers to the Gaza border in anticipation of the Palestinian “Land Day” protests that began Friday and are expected to continue until May 15. The reported deaths came from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, and most of the injuries came from tear gas inhalation, The Jerusalem Post reported. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has confirmed at least one of those deaths.

Fun fact: Colognes can get very, very expensive (like, topping $1k a bottle). At $65, you’re probably not going to do too much damage to your bank account. The wallet-friendly price tag alleviates the pressure that comes with bigger buys: You don’t need to wear daily to make sure you get your money’s worth. Instead, add in as needed (i.e., date nights if they’re into it, or for more dressed-up situations like evening events or professional meetings).
