Set in Tokyo, Director Wim Wenders PERFECT DAYS follows Hirayama (Kōji Yakusho) a toilet cleaner with a highly structured routine. Every morning, he wakes up to the sound of a street cleaner, waters his plants, buys a coffee from the vending machine outside his apartment, and gets into his truck. His workday routine, he travels around Tokyo, cleaning the city's public toilets. He eats lunch in the same park and takes a photo of the leaves above him while eating. After working more, he goes to the bathhouse, gets dinner at the same restaurant, reads for a bit, and goes to bed. We are joined by the award winning Director and co-scriptwriter Wim Wenders (Paris Texas, Wings of Desire, Buena Vista Social Club) and Producer and co-scriptwriter Takuma Takasaki to talk working with renown actor Kōji Yakusho to create Hirayama, making Tokyo a central character in the story, the cultural importance of the “common good”, and the meaning of the word Komorebi. Hirayama is content with his life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside of his structured routine he cherishes music on cassette tapes, books, and taking photos of trees. Through unexpected encounters, he reflects on finding beauty in the world. For more go to: neonrated.com/films/perfect-days
Margo Watson and Ann Takasaki are joined by Kathie Horman, LaReita Berky, and Dennis Lifferth to discuss the Model of Powerful Impact and the power of charitable giving. “Charity, being charitable, is critical to our well being, our soul, who we are as people, and being part of the human race.” - Margo Watson “I have MS, and I struggle with it, but I'm doing great. And I thought I can give what I can while I still can. And so it's been a real joy to me… I just love doing it, is what it boils down to.” - Kathie Horman “When you meet these people who come in with different objectives, some are providing for others and some are picking them (computers) up, and you see the spark of hope and happiness in their lives, it just makes you want to do it again. … And so I'm grateful for this idea, that within each person is this spark of divinity. And if we can see that and help them feel better when they leave, with a little more confidence, it makes this effort well worthwhile.” - Dennis Lifferth “I know we have a duty. That's true. We all have a duty to help one another. But there's more to it than just a duty. There's the feeling that comes when we're of service to somebody else.” - Dennis Lifferth “It takes a lot of people to make a system work, and they all make a very important contribution.” - Dennis Lifferth “This is an actual part of our family mode. This is what we do. We help. We help where we can help, when we can help, with what we can help with.” - LaReita Berky “Some people are able to give large donations. Some give small, some just give monthly, and some just give frequent flier miles. I mean, there's all kinds of ways to donate.” - Margo Watson “I've given a lot of time. And when I developed MS, I could no longer play my violin … so I donated it to a student who didn't have one. And she's been so thrilled. … There are definitely ways you can help. Sometimes it's just a pat on the back or a hug.” - Kathie Horman “The main body of human beings on this earth are so grateful to be tied to each other through family.” - Ann Takasaki “When people think, “donation,” the immediate thought is cash, right? Card, cash, check. But there's so many other types of donations. There's the in-kind donations, which is what Dennis is doing with the laptops. There's, for our organization, we receive book donations because our focus is literacy, because we believe that when a woman is empowered and knows how to read, then that changes her life and her family's trajectory, of what's going to become of them. You know, reading opens up a world of possibilities.” - LaReita Berky “Receiving donations for what an organization is needing, not just cash, cash is always appreciated, but for what specifically an organization needs, not just what you think they need, but ask, “What do you need?” That's one of the greatest things.” - LaReita Berky “Other ways that people can donate besides the money … is time. Is there something that you can do to help the organization with donating an hour or two a week or more if you are able?” - LaReita Berky “I think one of the fears people have in donating their time is they don't feel like they're qualified, when in fact, the one on one is very simple, just to listen, just to help. Most people are grateful for any attention they may receive. … To volunteer doesn't take money, doesn't take thing, but sometimes it's just your time and your interest in that person.” - Dennis Lifferth “It combats depression when you see that you can help somebody else. It combats self absorption. It just makes you a better person when you can help somebody else realize their dreams.” - Margo Watson Margo Watson is the Director of Outreach Marketing and Fundraising for Big Ocean Women. Her background is quite diverse. She has a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Theatre and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communications and Music. Her dynamic talents led her first to critically acclaimed performances in countless Theater and Concert stages around the country as a soprano soloist and lead actress which included musicals, opera, operetta, orchestral works, comedies, movies, commercials and on-camera TV host.

El ministro de la Presidencia, Félix Bolaños, ha asegurado que el PSOE crece cada día, mientras el Partido Popular está más hundido y en caída libre, y ha instado a salir a la campaña electoral del 28 de mayo con cabeza alta, mirada limpia, corazón socialista y a ganar. Por su parte, el presidente del PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, ha confiado en los buenos resultados que su formación cosechará en las elecciones municipales y autonómicas del próximo mes de mayo cuando, dice, podemos empezar a cambiar las cosas. Además, Feijóo ha vuelto a reclamar hoy sábado la convocatoria de elecciones generales. Feijóo, ha avisado de que España no olvidará nunca la conocida como ley del 'solo sí es sí', a la que califica de la mayor chapuza legal de la historia de la que los populares han salvado al Ejecutivo. Por su parte, la ministra de Igualdad, Irene Montero, ha aventurado que el movimiento feminista va a tener que seguir peleando para volver a situar el consentimiento en el centro del Código Penal. El presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, ha defendido el cambio de paradigma que la nueva Ley de Vivienda supondrá en España, que busca, dice, convertir el problema de la vivienda en un derecho y contrasta con la Ley del Suelo que aprobó el PP hace 25 años que solo buscaba el pelotazo urbanístico.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At war's end he was a distant witness of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In 1947 Nakasone was elected to the lower house of the Diet (parliament), becoming one of the youngest persons ever to hold a seat in that body. He retained his seat in subsequent elections and successively held several cabinet posts, including that of transport (1967–68), defense (1970–71), and international trade and industry (1972–74).

Get hooked on history as this quiz sorts out the past. Find out who really invented movable type, who Winston Churchill called ""Mum,"" and when the first sonic boom was heard. After Prime Minister Suzuki Zenko resigned (October 1982), Nakasone, an ally of the powerful Tanaka Kakuei, won a four-way contest to become the president of the LDP and thus, by reason of that party's dominance, prime minister of Japan. He was formally elected prime minister by the Japanese Diet in November 1982. The political opposition was able to force early parliamentary elections in December 1983. The LDP lost its absolute majority, but Nakasone kept his office by forming a coalition cabinet. As prime minister, Nakasone sought to strengthen Japan's ties with the United States by increasing Japan's contribution to its own defense and by lowering Japanese trade barriers to American goods. His efforts to increase defense spending aroused considerable controversy in Japan. Outspokenly patriotic, Nakasone tried to enhance Japan's reputation as one of the world's leading economic powers by making frequent overseas trips to confer with Japan's allies. On the domestic scene, he sponsored a program of government austerity measures in an effort to reduce Japan's public debt. Nakasone Yasuhiro and Ronald Reagan Nakasone Yasuhiro and Ronald Reagan In October 1984 Nakasone was reaffirmed as president of the LDP, thus gaining a second term as prime minister. The Japanese economy continued its sustained growth under his administration, and by the end of Nakasone's second term Japan had become the world's largest creditor nation and had begun to rival the power of the United States in the world economy. Though the LDP remained in power, Nakasone was not granted a third term. Infighting led him to choose his own successor: Takeshita Noboru, who took office in 1987. Because he continued to wield great power within the party, Nakasone in May 1989 was forced to resign formally from

Call it a Christmas present, call it a "we-made-it-through-this crazy-fucking-year-of-2020" present, whatever you prefer, but this is a (long) short story from yours truly called "The Synchronicity Factory." It's a magical tale with nonsensical asides, trips into speculation about the nature of reality and how the concept of synchronicity may represent that we live in a world that is much more interconnected than our modern worldview recognizes. Like "The Teacher and the Tree Man," it seems to have two protagonists with interweaving stories but to make this one work, we must visit not only places as far-flung as Roswell, New Mexico, Washington, D.C. and Takasaki, Japan but we must leave this 3D world and enter the AfterWorlds where our protagonists, umm, what, reside? Well, come along and find out the answer to that, and many other questions, the most important of which is: can our heroes save the Synchronicity Factory?

The CTBTO’s radionuclide stations are equipped with state-of-the-art sensors to detect even minute amounts of airborne radioactivity from a nuclear explosion, which is similar to that of a nuclear accident. One of the first stations to detect radioactive emissions from the Fukushima power plant was the radionuclide station at Takasaki, some 200 kilometres from the plant. Following the Fukushima event, the CTBTO made a number of improvements in terms of hardware, software and procedures that will allow faster and more reliable measurements.
Monika Krysta, Atmospheric Sciences Officer, Office of the Director, IDC Division and Mika Nikkinen, Head, Scientific Methods Unit, Software Applications Section, IDC Division By the end of May 2011, more than 40 radionuclide stations had detected radioactivity from the power plant and all but the closest at Takasaki had returned to normal background radiation. More than 1,600 samples containing radiation – both radioactive noble gases and particles - originating from the Fukushima power plant were analyzed. The analysis results allowed Member States’ radiation protection agencies to make informed recommendations to concerned populations. Additionally, the composition of the emissions allowed for conclusions about the extent of the damage to the reactors.
Fakultät für Biologie - Digitale Hochschulschriften der LMU - Teil 04/06
Vor Beginn dieser Arbeit war ein A. fumigatus-Protein (Chp: CipC homologes Protein) mit unbekannter Funktion und hoher Homologie zum CipC-Protein aus A. nidulans als prominentes hyphenspezifisches Protein identifiziert worden (Schwienbacher, 2005). Weiterhin gab es zu diesem Zeitpunkt Hinweise, dass ein zu CipC homologes Protein in C. neoformans eine wichtige Rolle während der Virulenz spielt (Steen et al., 2003). In dieser Arbeit sollte die biologische Funktion des pilzspezifischen Proteins genauer untersucht werden. Zu diesem Zweck wurden monoklonale Antikörper gegen Chp, mehrere Reporterstämme sowie eine Deletionsmutante hergestellt. Die erhobenen Daten zeigen, dass Chp als Monomer im Cytosol der Hyphen vorliegt. Dabei zeigte sich eine gleichmäßige Verteilung eines GFP-Fusionsproteins innerhalb der Hyphen; nur die Vakuolen schienen ausgespart. Die Identifikation des Proteins auf der Sporenoberfläche von A. fumigatus (Asif et al., 2006) wurde wiederlegt und die differentielle Expression des Proteins bestätigt. Anders als in A. nidulans (Melin et al., 2002) wirkt das Antibiotikum Concanamycin A auf die Bildung von Chp in A. fumigatus nicht induzierend. Da diese Tatsache sowohl für die Na-mensgebung von CipC, als auch für die Namensgebung von Chp verantwortlich war, sollte das A. fumigatus-Protein umbenannt werden. Die Wahl des Namens fiel auf NrpA (Nitrogen regulated protein A), da die Bildung des Proteins von der N-Quelle abhängig ist. Die N-abhängige Regulation war für ein homologes F. fujikuroi Gen auf RNA-Ebene bereits bekannt (Teichert et al., 2004). In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnte sie in A. fumigatus und erstmals auf Proteinebene bestätigt werden. Desweiteren wurden auch neue N-Quellen untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, dass NrpA in Anwesenheit der N-Quellen Glutamat, Nitrat oder Harnstoff nicht gebildet wird, wohin-gegen Komplexmedien sowie die N-Quellen Ammonium, Glutamin, Asparaginsäure, Asparagin, Valin und Tryptophan zur Bildung des Proteins führen. In Kombination einer induzierenden und einer unterdrückenden N-Quelle dominiert stets die induzierende. In Reporterstämmen (gfp; lacZ) fand diese negative Regulation der Bildung von NrpA nicht statt. Das Protein wurde sowohl in Anwesenheit einer normalerweise unterdrückenden N-Quelle, als auch in den Sporen gebildet. Weiterhin nimmt die gebildete Menge von NrpA sowohl bei längeren Inkubationszeiten, als auch bei Verwendung höherer Animpfdichten zu. Wird der Pilz zunächst mit einer die NrpA-Bildung unterdrückenden N-Quelle angezogen und dann in Medium mit einer induzierenden N-Quelle umgesetzt, dauert es 6 h bis eine Bildung von NrpA verzeichnet werden kann. Diese Zeitspanne blieb auch in einem inversen Experiment gleich. Als nächstes wurde untersucht, ob NrpA in A. fumigatus unter Stressbedingungen von Bedeutung ist. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass sowohl osmotischer Stress, als auch oxidativer Stress, der durch Menadion verursacht wird, kei-ne Auswirkung auf die gebildete NrpA-Menge hat. Dagegen führt durch H2O2 verursachter Stress zu einem veränderten Laufverhalten von NrpA in SDS-Gelen. Das Protein scheint unter diesen Umständen ein höheres Molekulargewicht zu haben. Mithilfe eines A. fumigatus-Reporterstammes, der ein NrpA-GFP-Fusionsprotein bildet, konnte gezeigt werden, dass H2O2 auch zu einer veränderten Lokalisation von NrpA führt. Das sonst gleichmäßig in den Hyphen verteilte Protein formierte sich in punktförmigen Strukturen. Auch unter Mangelbedingungen spielt NrpA keine wichtige Rolle, denn weder ein C- noch ein N-Mangel verändert die gebildete Menge des Proteins. Dient die normalerweise die NrpA-Bildung induzierende N-Quelle Glutamin als C- und N-Quelle wird NrpA nicht gebildet. Ebenso wie in F. fujikuroi (Teichert et al., 2002) wird die Bildung des NrpA-Proteins durch MSX, einem Inhibitor der Glutaminsynthetase, fast vollständig inhibiert. Anders als in F. fujikuroi (Teichert et al., 2006) verursachte die Inhibierung der TOR-Kinase durch Rapamycin keinen Effekt auf die Bildung von NrpA. Auch durch eine her-gestellte Deletionsmutante konnte die biologische Funktion von NrpA nicht geklärt werden. In zahlreichen vergleichenden Untersuchungen verhielt sich die Mutante ebenso wie der Wildtyp. Der einzige dokumentierte Unterschied zwischen Mutante und Wildtyp ist eine verstärkte Bil-dung der Katalase 1 in der Deletionsmutante. Anders als angenommen spielt NrpA während der Virulenz von A. fumigatus keine Rolle. In einem Virulenzmodell in embryonierten Hühnereiern verhielten sich Deletionsmutante und Wildtyp gleich. Auch in murinen Makrophagen führten die Deletionsmutante und der Wildtyp etwa zu vergleichbaren Mengen an ausgeschüttetem IL-10 und TNFα. Ein potentieller Nutzen von NrpA bei der Diagnose der allergischen bronchoalveolaren Aspergillose (ABPA) konnte ebenso ausgeschlossen werden. Neben NrpA waren im Vergleich der Proteinmuster der verschiedenen A. fumigatus-Morphotypen auch weitere differentiell exprimierte Proteine aufgefallen. Eines davon war eine MnSOD (Aspf6), die bis dahin auch als mitochondriale MnSOD bezeichnet wurde (Rementeria et al., 2007). Da im Genom von A. fumigatus aber eine weitere MnSOD kodiert ist, die über eine putative Mitochondriensignalsequenz verfügt, sollte in einem zweiten Teil der Arbeit die tat-sächliche Lokalisation dieses Proteins gezeigt werden. Dafür wurden zunächst monoklonale Antikörper gegen das Protein hergestellt. Eine mitochondriale Lokalisation der MnSOD mit puta-tiver Signalsequenz konnte gezeigt werden. Dabei wurden sowohl Western-Blots als auch ein A. fumigatus-GFP-Reporterstamm verwendet. Weiterhin konnte das Protein genauer charakteri-siert werden. Im Gegensatz zu Aspf6, das nur in den Hyphen des Pilzes zu finden ist, wurde die mitochondriale MnSOD sowohl in den Sporen, als auch in den Hyphen nachgewiesen. Die gebil-dete Menge des Proteins verändert sich im Zeitverlauf nicht. Lediglich zu sehr späten Wachs-tumszeitpunkten in der späten stationären Phase war ein leichter Anstieg zu beobachten. Die gebildete Menge des Proteins hing auch nicht von der Animpfdichte der Kultur ab. Anders als Aspf6, das bekannterweise ein Homotetramer bildet (Flückiger et al., 2002), scheint die mitochondriale MnSOD als Dimer vorzuliegen. Auch in Antwort auf oxidativen Stress verhielten sich die beiden MnSODs unterschiedlich. Menadion, das innerhalb der Zelle die Bildung von Su-peroxidanionen bewirkt, führte zu einem leichten Anstieg der Proteinmenge der mitochondrialen MnSOD, während Aspf6 unverändert blieb. Als Folge von oxidativem Stress, der durch H2O2 verursacht wird, zeigte Aspf6 eine leichte Verringerung, während die mitochondriale MnSOD schnell abgebaut wird. In einem dritten Teil dieser Arbeit wurde die Rolle der Atmung während der Auskeimung von A. fumigatus genauer untersucht. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Proteinbiosynthese für den Auskeimungsprozess unbedingt notwendig ist. Desweiteren wurde mit Hilfe unterschiedli-cher Methoden eine sehr frühe Aktivierung der Atmungskette während des Auskeimungspro-zesses nachgewiesen. Ebenso konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Anwesenheit von Sauerstoff für das Wachstum von A. fumigatus unbedingt erforderlich ist. Im anaeroben Milieu konnten die Konidien weder anschwellen noch auskeimen. Auch bereits vorhandene Hyphen konnten unter Abwesenheit von Sauerstoff nicht weiterwachsen. Weitere Untersuchungen zeigten, dass A. fu-migatus anders als A. nidulans (Takasaki et al., 2004) nicht über die Fähigkeit verfügt, im Anae-roben durch eine Fermentation von Ammonium zu überleben. In dieser Arbeit wurde ebenso wie in anderen aktuellen Arbeiten (Williger et al., 2008) die Fähigkeit von A. fumigatus, in hypoxischen Umgebungen zu wachsen, nachgewiesen.
