Fridays 10:00am - 11:00am (EDT)WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?LIAD is a resource for families dealing with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Located in Westbury and accessible from most highways. Our hands-on programs and services are not only for the diagnosed individuals but for the caregivers. We want to make sure that anyone that needs help in navigating this journey can come to our professionals for help and support. ‍EPISODE SUMMARY:About Tori: Tori has been the Executive Director of the Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia (LIAD) Center since 2015; however, her history with the organization goes back to 2003, when she began as a Social Worker with the organization then called the Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation (LIAF).It is under Tori's leadership that LIAF became the LIAD Center, representing the organization's continuing evolution to meet the changing needs of the ever-increasing population of those on Long Island who are affected by Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Tori is a zealous advocate for LIAD Center, pushing the organization to step to the forefront of community and professional education about cognitive impairment.About LIAD Center: We are passionate about what we do — it's in our roots. Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center was originally founded by five Long Island women in 1988. Our founders are like millions of other Americans impacted by Alzheimer's — they had a parent or grandparent with Alzheimer's disease and shared the frustration of not knowing where to turn for much-needed help. Out of this dire need, our founders decided to be their own solution, and the Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center was started. Today, we've spent 30 years providing supportive community-based services to Alzheimer's families in Long Island. ‍Website: lidementia.org Facebook: Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center Instagram: liadcenter LinkedIn: Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center and Tori Cohen Tune in for this sensible conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

LIAF 111: “Queer is Questioning” From The Spaces Between Podcast with Al Jeffery What does it mean to call yourself queer? Today on Life is a Festival, I'm honored to share an interview I did on Al Jeffery's brilliant show, “The Spaces Between,” discussing queerness as a form of radical curiosity. We open with a comparison of vulnerability and openness, and how to use embodiment to support good mental health. We discuss what it means to “queer” something and how psychedelics and identity-expanding practices are in and of themselves queer. We talk about temperament, attachment style, character and identity and how you can release your own personal mythology by getting down to basic physiology. We close with learning to love the questions themselves, which in our binary culture can be the most difficult love, and yet the most rewarding. Al is a facilitator, community-designer, Top 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, keynote speaker, author and leadership virtuoso. He is dedicated to understanding disconnection and restoring connection in our lives, leadership and communities. Al hosts the Spaces Between Podcast, an open-inquiry into restoring community in the 21st Century, which I highly recommend.

Presenting the fourth episode of 'Intimate Animation' season 3, brought to you by the online animation magazine skwigly.com Join Skwigly's Ben Mitchell and Laura-Beth Cowley as they explore, discuss and interview the talents behind animation that deals with adult themes of love, relationships and sexuality. In this episode we meet UK-based Polish director/animator Natasza Cetner whose MA graduation film from the Royal College of Art "Nigel" was recently released online as a Short of the Week Premiere and Vimeo Staff Pick to much enthusiasm. Using quasi-traditional 2D animation approaches, the film is an inventive spin on the story of Nigel, a lonely gannet who hopelessly falls in love with a concrete statue. Serving as a reflection of our own misconceptions in love, the film has screened at numerous festivals including LIAF, PSIAF, Anifilm, Animocje, Tricky Women, PÖFF Shorts, Animac and Animateka as well as being written up on outlets including Creative Review, It's Nice That and Director's Notes. Also discussed in this episode: Selected love'n'sex-themed films and event highlights from the recent Anima Festival in Brussels and new shorts to watch out for at the upcoming Cardiff Animation Festival.

Soil bacteria are exposed to constant changes in temperature, moisture, and oxygen content. Additionally, they have to encounter different antimicrobial substances, which are produced by competing bacteria. Those agents often target the bacterial cell envelope, which is an essential structure composed of the cell wall and cell membrane. In order to counteract such life-threatening conditions, bacteria developed signal transducing systems to monitor their environment and to respond signal-specifically to any stress conditions, mostly by differential gene expression. Different principles of signal transducing systems have been evolved: one-component systems (1CSs), two-component systems (2CSs), and extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors. Bacillus subtilis is a soil bacterium, which counteracts cell envelope stress by four different 2CSs (LiaSR, BceRS, PsdRS, and YxdJK) and at least three different ECF sigma factors (σX, σM, and σW). In the course of the present thesis, the LiaSR 2CS was investigated in detail. The LiaSR 2CS of B. subtilis is a cell envelope stress-sensing system that shows a high dynamic range of induction in response to cell wall antibiotics like bacitracin. It provides no resistance against its inducer molecules. Rather, it is a damage-sensing system that maintains the cell envelope integrity under stress conditions. The membrane-anchored histidine kinase (HK) LiaS and its cognate response regulator (RR) LiaR work together with a third protein, LiaF, which was identified as the inhibitor of the 2CS. Upon induction, the target promoter PliaI is induced by phosphorylated LiaR, leading to the expression of the liaIH-liaGFSR locus, with liaIH as being the most induced genes. In the first part of this thesis, the mechanisms of stimulus perception and signal transduction of the LiaFSR system were analyzed. Therefore, the native stoichiometry of the proteins LiaF, LiaS, and LiaR were determined genetically and biochemically with a resulting ratio of 18 to 4 to 1. We found out that maintaining this specific stoichiometry is crucial for the functionality of the LiaFSR system and thus a proper response to cell envelope stress. Changing the relative protein ratios by the overproduction of either LiaS or LiaR leads to a constitutive activation of the promoter PliaI. These data suggest a non-robust behavior of the LiaFSR system regarding perturbations of its stoichiometry, which stands in contrast to quantitative analyses of other well-known 2CSs. Furthermore, a HK-independent phosphorylation of the RR LiaR was observed. This happened in each case if the amount of LiaR exceeded those of LiaS, irrespective of the presence or absence of a stimulus. By using growth media supplied with different carbon sources, acetyl phosphate was identified as being the phosphoryl group-donor for LiaR under these conditions. Moreover, by performing a mutagenesis experiment, we obtained genetic evidence that LiaS is a bifunctional HK offering both a kinase and a phosphatase activity. In the second part of this thesis, the liaI promoter was used to generate a protein expression toolbox for the use in B. subtilis, referred to as the LIKE (from the German “Lia-kontrollierte Expression”) system. PliaI is a perfect candidate for driving recombinant protein expression. It is tightly regulated under non-inducing conditions showing no significant basal expression levels. Depending on the inducer molecule concentration, it is induced up to 1000-fold reaching a maximum already 30 minutes after addition of the inducer. Two expression vectors, an integrative and a replicative one, were constructed consisting of an alternative liaI promoter, which was optimized to enhance promoter strength. Additionally, different B. subtilis expression hosts were generated that possess liaIH deletions to prevent undesired protein production. The feasibility of the LIKE system was evaluated by using gfp and ydfG as reporter genes and bacitracin as inducer molecule. As a result, both proteins were successfully overproduced.
