What would Central Ohio's future look like with safe, affordable mixed-income neighborhoods as a part of everyday life? How much healthier, stronger, and more equitable would our region be?  For the most part, this is now just a dream for many central Ohioans. Our region is experiencing a severe housing shortage because we've built an average of only 8,000 housing units per year for more than a decade, while 20,000 units per year were needed to balance supply and demand. This caused the price of housing for both renters and buyers to increase by more than three times the increase in median income for both renters and homebuyers. Today, we examine the links connecting housing, health, and opportunity and spotlight the will to act that could open the gates to healthier outcomes for all.

Guest: Dr. Nick McGlynn Dr. Nick McGlynn, Senior Researcher and Lecturer at Brighton University, is a geographer with a focus on LGBTQ spaces. His new book Boundaries and Bodies in UK Bear Spaces looks at how the bear community creates spaces, how their corporeal geography aligns with ideas of desirability and community, and how fatness in GBQ men shapes narratives and representation.   ----more---- Sites & Socials Brighton University Site Bodies and Boundaries of UK Bear Spaces ----more----Additional Links Lost Spaces Podcast re: Wicked Grounds Let's Get Wet! event link and info DomCon London Alternative Market Retreat ----more----

Imagine what economic growth looks like on a graph and you may picture a line slanting upwards from left to right. Have you ever wondered where the line stops? On a planet – or a region – with finite resources, it has to end somewhere.   This realization is helping a very different model of economic growth to gain traction: the circular economy. Circular, or “doughnut,” economies are sustainable and regenerative, where waste from one process becomes fuel for another. It's a model being popularized by economists like the U.K.'s Kate Raworth, and it's taking root around the world and in Central Ohio.   Central Ohio's economic activity is expected to result in more residential and industrial waste that will threaten the usable lifespan of the region's landfill. Growth is putting upward pressure on greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. A circular economy can mitigate many of these consequences by recapturing more and more recyclable materials in new ways, sending them back into the production cycle.   Central Ohio has an opportunity to set a national example showcasing the benefits of a circular economy, and key players in our region are working together to bend that growth line back onto itself to form a sustainable circle.   With a panel of regional leaders, we unpack the advantages of thinking about economic growth in an entirely new way and learn how key players in Central Ohio are working together to bring sustainable circular growth to the region.   Featuring panelists:  Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer, Advanced Drainage Systems   Dr. Elena Irwin, Professor of Environmental Economics, The Ohio State University Sustainability Institute   Tia Johnson, Owner, Compost Clubhouse   And Jeff Snyder, Director of Recycling, Rumpke Waste & Recycling  The host is Tres Carter, Director of Creative Engagement, COSI  This forum was sponsored by Advanced Drainage Systems, GBQ, The Grange Insurance Audubon Center, Rumpke Waste & Recycling, and SWACO.

The impact of Intel's two new massive semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Licking County, Ohio, will go far beyond the $20 billion investment itself. The two new plants – with more likely to follow – will generate tens of thousands of new jobs across Ohio and will in turn draw contractors and other high-profile manufacturers to Central Ohio. These new employees won't arrive alone: they're arrive with families in tow looking to make Central Ohio home. The impact means that Central Ohio's public infrastructure – transportation, parks, schools, water and sewer lines, and every kind of public service – will need to expand rapidly and to stay ahead of the growth. Chandler, Arizona, home to another Intel plant, had one high school before Intel moved in. It's now the second-largest school district in Arizona. Can Central Ohio's towns keep up with the region's exciting growth, and even stay ahead? Hear from the mayors of three key regional cities how each is planning for – and embracing – Central Ohio's high-growth future.

For the first time in more than 31 years, Darci Congrove isn't spending this tax season doing taxes. The longtime Columbus CPA and managing director of GBQ Partners retired from the firm's tax department at the end of last year. That doesn't mean she's not busy, of course; there's still plenty to fill her schedule as managing director of Central Ohio's sixth-largest accounting firm. But she's no longer working the crazy hours tax professionals often find themselves doing this time of year. That said, neither are many team members at GBQ. In the latest episode of our Women of Influence podcast, Congrove talked about how the firm has found new ways to embrace flexibility and make tax season more bearable for employees at all levels. She also talked about GBQ's international approach to finding enough staffers, the ways she makes decisions about community involvement and more.

Can you identify a bear with a fur-tive glance? Will a bearitone voice coax you out of hibernation? Join the cub! In this real-life (!) conversation, Dr Nick McGlynn (Brighton University) tells me all about bears -- generally speaking, a larger, hairier variety of queer men, who you may have seen flying the paw flag at your local pride event. Human geographer by trade, Nick has collected lots of ursome data on bear spaces in the UK and found that what makes them so unique are the geographies of fat bodies. We talk about fat, racialised and stigmatised queer bodies and -- I love this part -- how spaces are created that make bears feel warm and welcome.

Today's forum, recorded live on December 15, 2021, examines the decline of many American malls and the forces shaping the country's changing retail climate. Once a staple of both the suburban and urban scene, the American shopping mall has suffered a visible decline in recent years.   While many high-end malls continue to expand, others have closed.    Conventional wisdom blames the rise of online retail, the declining popularity of department stores, and COVID lockdowns, but a significant factor is the shrinking American middle class.  Today we'll hear about the forces shaping retail from:   Yaromir Steiner, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Steiner and Associates.   The host is Matt Barnes, Morning Co-Anchor with NBC4 Today.  This forum was sponsored by The Easton Community Foundation and GBQ.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.29.354696v1?rss=1 Authors: Obokata, N., Seki, C., Hirata, T., Maeda, J., Ishii, H., Nagai, Y., Matsumura, T., Takakuwa, M., Fukuda, H., Minamimoto, T., Kawamura, K., Zhang, M.-R., Nakajima, T., Saijo, T., Higuchi, M. Abstract: Purpose: Phosphodiesterase (PDE) 7 is a potential therapeutic target for neurological and inflammatory diseases, while in-vivo visualization of PDE7 has not been successful. In this study, we aimed to develop [11C]MTP38 as a novel positron emission tomography (PET) ligand for PDE7. Methods: [11C]MTP38 was radiosynthesized by 11C-cyanation of a bromo precursor with [11C]HCN. PET scans of rat and rhesus monkey brains and in-vitro autoradiography of brain sections derived from these species were conducted with [11C]MTP38. In monkeys, dynamic PET data were analyzed with an arterial input function to calculate the total distribution volume (VT). The non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) in the striatum was also determined by a reference tissue model with the cerebellar reference. Finally, striatal occupancy of PDE7 by an inhibitor was calculated in monkeys according to changes in BPND. Results: [11C]MTP38 was synthesized with radiochemical purity [≥] 99.4% and molar activity of 38.6 {+/-} 12.6 GBq/mol. Autoradiography revealed high radioactivity in the striatum and its reduction by non-radiolabeled ligands, in contrast with unaltered autoradiographic signals in other regions. In-vivo PET after radioligand injection to rats and monkeys demonstrated that radioactivity was rapidly distributed to the brain and intensely accumulated in the striatum relative to the cerebellum. Correspondingly, VT values estimated in the monkey striatum and cerebellum were 3.59 and 2.69 mL/cm3, respectively. The cerebellar VT value was unchanged by pretreatment with unlabeled MTP38. Striatal BPND was reduced in a dose-dependent manner after pretreatment with MTP-X, a PDE7 inhibitor. Relationships between the PDE7 occupancy by MTP-X and plasma MTP-X concentration could be described by Hill's sigmoidal function. Conclusion: We have provided the first successful preclinical demonstration of in-vivo PDE7 imaging with a specific PET radioligand. [11C]MTP38 is a feasible radioligand to evaluate PDE7 in the brain and is currently applied to a first-in-human PET study. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

In this podcast we are joined by Associate Professor of Criminology at The University of New South Wales, Michael Salter, to discuss sexual violence in GBQ relationships. In recent podcasts we have discussed the issue of consent, and decided to revisit this because we thought it would be interesting and useful to explore this in the context of GBQ relationships. Research has highlighted that consent, or rather the lack of it, can lie behind intimate partner violence and sexual assault. Those who participated in the research, openly in many cases, revealed that in relationships they had been subjected to unwanted or non-consensual sexual acts on the part of their partner, for example, against a backdrop of substance or alcohol  misuse. Sometimes violence is used or threatened and examples were also given of blackmail. Coercion through a threat of “outing”, or the use of controlling behaviour was also identified. Some of those who took part in the research thought that some of these behaviours might be acceptable in some situations, which begs concerning questions in relation to insight and informed consent. The research revealed that some who had experienced sexual violence considered that was a degree of normality, which might possibly arise from the understanding that for many, violence and coercion was common. Conversely there was a widespread understanding that violence was unacceptable and illegal. The research suggests that there needs to be a far more open discussion about respectful relationships and consent. This of course applies to society as whole but in the GBQ context there is clearly an openness to explore and understand very personal issues and needs, which in fact go far beyond the individual.

In this episode, Michelle Galligan joins Kevin to talk about her experience with entering into a joint venture. She shares her lifeline, and how she went from working in a firm to starting her company, and the steps taken to get to where she is today. She shares some advice on working with investment bankers, as well as the rationale behind her decision to maintain and grow the value of her company.   Key Takeaways: [:30] Michelle was born in Springboro, Ohio, while it was still a small town. She originally went to school to be a chemical engineer, and then switched to the business school. While she was still in school, she worked for Ernst & Young, and discovered her knack for data. [2:55] Due to family circumstances, Michelle had to take a leave of absence from her position with Ernst & Young. This ended being up a great opportunity to explore working in business development. Following this, Michelle talks about her journey through corporate America and how she ended up starting her own business. [6:12] Michelle talks about the business, financial, and personal struggles that defined the first few years of her business — from joining with investors, to buying out the investors, and getting out of debt to move the company in her own direction. [11:17] She ended up hiring an investment banker to find someone to sell the business to. She entered into a joint venture with GBQ, which allowed an opportunity to build the business without debt and let Michelle focus on growing the company. [15:45] Sixteen months in, they aren’t quite where they imagined they would be. They are still working towards full integration of their back office, and they had to re-evaluate their business coming from some of the smaller branches. GBQ is a BDO Alliance partner, and they are unique because of their leadership offerings. They are now working on building partnership agreements with different firms across the nation to offer inner leadership and accounting project work. [16:25] When deciding which investment banker to work with, the same two recommendations kept coming up. They ended up going with a local bank called Copper Run, but this coincidentally also started the relationship between Michelle’s company and GBQ. [20:43] Michelle talks about the transaction process of signing on with GBQ, and the deal actually going through, from the pricing of the transaction to the due diligence, and how the whole process set the company up for success later on. [24:40] In addition to her company, Michelle has been doing some side-CFO work, which has been very fun! She is also working with a local tech company right now, working on some things to get ready for growth. She has also taken up diving as a hobby. Coincidentally, many of the people she dives with are also entrepreneurs! [27:44] Her next focus is learning the expansion piece of her business. She has a plan to gain twenty strategic partners in four years, in the hopes that each can be grown into an actual location. [30:12] What made Michelle decide to do a joint venture instead of selling her company? Ultimately it’s because 100% of the value is significantly less than 50% of the value it’s going to be, and it has allowed her to focus her time in the right places. The joint venture was more like a partial sale because it allowed her to clear the debt of the company. It also allows her freedom in her schedule and decision-making.   Mentioned in This Episode: Columbus Chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organization ViaVero

The synthesis, radiolabeling and in vitro evaluation of new silicon-fluoride acceptor (SiFA) derivatized D-2-receptor ligands is reported. The SiFA-technology simplifies the introduction of fluorine-18 into target specific biomolecules for Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET). However, one of the remaining challenges, especially for small molecules such as receptor-ligands, is the bulkiness of the SiFA-moiety. We therefore synthesized four Fallypride SiFA-conjugates derivatized either directly at the benzoic acid ring system (SiFA-DMFP, SiFA-FP, SiFA-DDMFP) or at the butyl-side chain (SiFA-M-FP) and tested their receptor affinities. We found D2-receptor affinities for all compounds in the nanomolar range (Ki(SiFA-DMFP) = 13.6 nM, Ki(SiFA-FP) = 33.0 nM, Ki(SiFA-DDMFP) = 62.7 nM and Ki(SiFA-M-FP) = 4.21 nM). The radiofluorination showed highest yields when 10 nmol of the precursors were reacted with F-18]fluoride/TBAHCO(3) in acetonitrile. After a reversed phased cartridge purification the desired products could be isolated as an injectable solution after only 10 min synthesis time with radiochemical yields (RCY) of more than 40% in the case of SiFA-DMFP resulting in specific activities >41 GBq/mu mol (>1,100 Ci/mmol). Furthermore, the radiolabeled products were shown to be stable in the injectable solutions, as well as in human plasma, for at least 90 min.

Im Myonspektrometer des ATLAS-Detektors am LHC, bei dem Protonen mit einer Schwerpunktsenergie von 14~TeV kollidieren, werden Kammern aus Hochdruckdriftrohren zur Vermessung der Trajektorien der Myonen verwendet. Um den Impuls der Myonen aus der Krümmung ihrer Spur in dem 0.4~T starken Magnetfeld mit hinreichender Genauigkeit vermessen zu können, müssen zum einen die Driftrohre eine Ortsauflösung von $sigma_{r} leq 100; mu text{m}$ liefern und zum anderen muss die Position jedes Annodendrahtes, also auch die Geometrie jeder Kammer, mit einer Genauigkeit von deutlich besser als 100~$mu$m bekannt sein. Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit diesem Problem an zwei Fronten. Wegen der hohen Luminosität des Beschleunigers und des großen Wirkungsquerschnittes für Proton-Proton-Kollisionen, herrscht im Myonspektrometer ein erheblicher Untergrund an Photonen und Neutronen. Um das Verhalten der Driftrohre bei hoher Untergrundzählrate zu untersuchen, wurde eine Teststrahlmessung durchgeführt, bei der neben einem hochenergetischen Myonstrahl (100~GeV) auch eine 740~GBq starke $gamma$-Quelle die Kammer beleuchtete. Mittels eines hochauflösenden Referenzdetektors aus Silizium-Streifenzählern wurden Ortsauflösung und Effizienz bei unterschiedlichen Untergrundstrahlungsniveaus untersucht. Eine Möglichkeit die Ortsauflösung zu verbessern, in dem mittels einer in die Ausleseelektronik integrierten Pulshöhenmessung die Abhängigkeit zwischen Signalzeit und Pulshöhe betrachtet wird, wurde untersucht und weiterentwickelt. Damit konnte die Auflösung unabhängig von der Photonenbestrahlung um 13~$%$ verbessert und die angestrebte Ortsauflösung von 100~$mu$m selbst beim Dreifachen der erwarteten Untergrundstrahlung erreicht werden. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Max-Plank-Institut für Physik in München und dem Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna werden 88 der 1226 Myonkammern gebaut. Zur ersten Inbetriebnahme und Überprüfung der Qualität dieser Kammern wurde der Höhenstrahlmessstand eingerichtet. Insbesondere kann dort die Geometrie einer Kammer bestimmt werden, in dem sie zwischen zwei Referenzkammern eingebaut wird, deren Geometrie mit einem Röntegentomographen genau vermessen wurde. Mit Hilfe dieser Kammern wird die Spur des kosmischen Myons bestimmt. Aus systematischen Abweichungen zwischen dieser Referenzspur und den Messungen in der zu testenden Kammer, kann die Position eines jeden Drahtes mit einer Genauigkeit in der Größenordnung 10~$mu$m bestimmt werden. Diesbezüglich wird die Arbeit von Oliver Kortner~cite{olivers_dis} fortgesetzt, also der Messstand hin zu drei vollständig ausgelesenen Kammern ausgebaut und seine Leistungsfähigkeit überprüft. Der Messstand erlaubt es, mechanische Ungenauigkeiten der Kammern, die allerdings nur selten vorkommen, zuverlässig zu finden und zu quantifizieren. Dadurch sind auch Kammern die von der Normgeometrie abweichen vollständig beim ATLAS-Experiment einsetzbar, wenn die im Messstand ermittelten Geometrieparameter in der Spurrekonstruktion berücksichtigt werden.
