This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Volkswagen Group Africa (VWA) will invest R4-billion in its manufacturing plant in Kariega, in the Eastern Cape. The investment will be used to prepare the plant for the addition of a third model to the company's production line-up from early 2027. The third model, which will be a compact sports-utility vehicle (SUV), will be manufactured on the same production line as the Polo and Polo Vivo. VWA currently produces the Polo for the local and export markets, and the Vivo for the local market. Most of the R4-billion investment will be allocated to capital expenditure for the production facilities, manufacturing tooling, local content tooling, and quality assurance. Nearly R877-million will be spent to enhance automation in the body shop. In the press shop, R418-million will be used to procure new press tooling. The first phase of the plant upgrade will begin at the end of this year, during the facility's yearly shutdown. VWA chairperson and MD Martina Biene said on Tuesday that the investment reaffirmed Volkswagen's commitment to South Africa, where the German car maker has been manufacturing vehicles for nearly 73 years. "Plant Kariega is an important manufacturing plant within the Volkswagen Group production network," she said at the investment announcement in Kariega. "Since 2011, Volkswagen has invested R10.28-billion in production facilities, manufacturing equipment, local content tooling and training of people. "The new investment is a vote of confidence in the future of the plant. "It also futureproofs jobs, not only for our people, but also those employed in our supplier network." Export demand for the Polo from the VWA plant may trend downward towards 2030 as large swathes of the world shift to electric vehicles (EVs). VWA expects to export 127 000 Polos to 38 global markets this year. The company is set to become the sole global Polo manufacturer in July. The group produced 140 400 vehicles in total in 2023. VWA says localisation remains a key priority for the group. The Polo and Vivo currently have 46% and 58% local content levels, respectively. The trend is set to continue with the new model, which aims to achieve about 40% local content through a R1.2-billion investment programme. SOUTH AMERICAN FLAVOUR Volkswagen Brazil is leading the design and development of the new SUV, which will largely be aimed at world markets where EVs will be introduced at a slower pace. VWA's engineering team has, however, collaborated with Volkswagen Brazil to adapt the new model for local and African requirements, such as developing a right-hand-drive version. "South Africa is an important market for the Volkswagen Group, particularly in terms of our long-term goal to establish our footprint on the African continent, which is seen as the last frontier for automotive development," noted Biene. "As such, we have recently renamed our local company to Volkswagen Group Africa, to represent our responsibilities and ambitions to grow the Volkswagen brand on the continent. "The new model has the potential to be sold in other African markets where Volkswagen has a presence. "As most global vehicle markets transition to EVs, African markets like South Africa will continue manufacturing and selling vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICEs) for the foreseeable future, owing to customer demand for ICEs and the slow introduction of EVs in these markets," added Biene. This said, though, the Volkswagen Brand this year starts its electrification journey with the introduction of a ID.4 test fleet in South Africa and Rwanda.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Volkswagen Group Africa (VWA) will hopefully this year receive the final confirmation on the production of a third model at the Kariega plant, says MD Martina Biene. This third model will add to production of the Polo and Polo Vivo at the Eastern Cape production site. Biene emphasises that this third model will be "on top" of the other two models, and that it will not replace any existing production units. The third model is expected to be a small, more affordable sports-utility vehicle (SUV), slotting in under the T-Cross. A possible fourth model could potentially be a half-ton bakkie. Biene says the third model will also be an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, and not an electric vehicle (EV), as the uptake of EVs has been "very slow" in South Africa, with zero government support to boost the sale of this new technology. She adds that a swing to EV production at Kariega could potentially see Volkswagen lose its leading position in the local market, and "we don't want that to happen". "If we produce EVs here, we need strong local demand." Biene says she also expects the ramp-up to the phase-out of ICE vehicles in Europe in 2035 - a big export market for VWSA - to be less steep than originally anticipated, providing the company some breathing room with Polo exports. VWSA expects to still produce and export the current Polo and Polo Vivo until 2029. The Polo Vivo is exported to some sub-Saharan African markets, while the Polo is exported to numerous markets abroad. VWA produced 140 430 vehicles last year - 7 182 more than in 2022. Production is expected to grow by 10 000 units this year on the back of expanded Polo numbers. Polo exports already increased by 3 500 units last year, to 101 557 units. Combined domestic Volkswagen and Audi sales reached 67 411 units last year. The Vivo was the group's best-seller, at 23 904 units, up 15% on 2022 numbers. Looking ahead, Biene says VWA will introduce the new and refreshed T-Cross, Tiguan, Touareg and Crafter models this year. The ID.4 EV will also make its debut as part of a test fleet, which should give VWA the opportunity to test the local appetite for EVs. Looking at the South African new-car market for 2024, VWA is positive that sales could increase by 6.4% compared with last year, to 370 000 units.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Volkswagen Group Africa (VWA), formerly Volkswagen Group South Africa, is investing R55-million to procure 3 MW in additional solar energy for its assembly plant in Kariega, in the Eastern Cape, says MD Martina Biene. The panels will be installed on the car ports in the employee car park. VWA production director Ulrich Schwabe says this means the local arm of the German vehicle maker will have 6.3 MWp in solar energy installed by the end of this year, in an investment totaling R89-million, across its facilities in Kariega, as well as in Centurion and Sandton, in Gauteng. "Our expectation is that, in 2024, we would have installed more than 6 MW," notes Schwabe. "This means that, around lunch time, we can cover 50% of our electricity needs in production. And this is just a first step." He notes that VWA has the ambition to become carbon neutral by 2030. Schwabe adds that VWA has also been forced to rent a backup diesel generator plant for the Kariega plant for the next two years, starting in March, with a capacity of 16 MW. This comes at an additional cost of R130-million, with the daily diesel costs for the generator carrying a R1.6-million price tag. The generator will provide power to the plant during loadshedding and other outage periods. VWA's plant is not exempt from loadshedding, and experiences it from level five and upwards. Schwabe says the generators are to provide security of energy supply when the sun is not shining, as well as at night. "Last year we were hit quite hard, with 23 shifts lost, or 11 production days. "As the now sole supplier of the Polo, our order book is completely full for the next two years. We can now securely run the plant for the next two years. This answers the trust the brand has given us. "It is not a cheap exercise, but it is much better than losing trust and not being a reliable supplier," says Schwabe. VWA currently produces the Polo and Polo Vivo for the local and export markets. Biene announced this week that VWA will become the sole supplier of the Polo to all global markets, except China, from June this year. "We have proven that we can do it, and this makes us very proud." VWA last year exported 101 557 Polos from Kariega - 3 500 more than in 2022. The expectation is that the Eastern Cape plant will see a 10 000-unit production increase this year on the back of the added Polo numbers.

This is a standalone episode summarising the 'Not Above the Law' case against Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and other named politicians and bureaucrats, run by Self Employed Australia over hotel quarantine failures. It is a story of government malfeasance, admission and farce (government prosecuting itself), and ultimately judicial activism where the presiding judge created and offered a defence for government that ultimately led to the case failing because of concerns over the mental welfare of Daniel Andrews and others named in the case. The 57 page judgement makes the point that allowing the case to proceed would cause 'stress of potentially being subjected to prosecution for serious criminal offences' for the named individuals including Daniel Andrews, Jenny Mikakos, Lisa Neville, Martin Pakula, Chris Eccles, Kym Peake, Brett Sutton, Shane Patton, Graham Ashton, Andrew Crisp et al. Justice McDonald goes on to say that if the case proceeds, 'the 20 individuals identified in the First Request may suffer considerable prejudice'.

When eccentric recluse Simon Strong, who lives in a perpetually chilled state, vanishes (leaving some rather suspicious remains behind), his only known associate—a teenage delivery girl—is interviewed by the police! Cast List Amber Sorensen - Krystal Baker Simon Strong - Joel Harvey Det. Phyllis Jermyn - Julie Hoverson Det. Howard Upton - Reynaud LeBoeuf Music: Kevin MacLeod (Incompetech.com) Recorded with the assistance of Ryan Hirst of Neohoodoo Studio Editing and Sound: Julie Hoverson Cover Photo: (courtesy of Stock Xchange.com) "What kind of a place is it? Why it's a police station, can't you tell?" ******************************************** Chillin' This didn't actually begin with me choosing to adapt another Lovecraft story (in this case "Cool Air"). Frankly, I really liked the 1999 short film, and have a soft spot for the version made for Night Gallery back in the 70s, so I never really considered Cool Air as a priority for adaptation - it had already been done well. Plus it was kind of low hanging fruit - one of the simpler, more straightforward stories to adapt. Previous to this, I had produced Within the Walls of Eryx, and even before that, while studying screenwriting, I had practiced adaptation by playing with The Thing on the Doorstep, turning it into an hour-long screenplay that I eventually re-wrote into an episode of 19 Nocturne Boulevard. Nope, this started when my niece Krystal and I went to see the film Juno. We enjoyed the movie, and leaving it I decided I wanted to write a sassy teenage character, and started clicking through plots in my head that I could slap her into. The irony of sticking a character HPL would undoubtedly loathe into one of his stories did not escape me, and when "Cool Air" crossed my mind, it basically started to write itself. I hammered out the script in less than a week and sent it to Krystal and asked if Amber sounded reasonably authentic, since Krystal was right about that age herself. Her response was "Could I please play her?" She did, and did a great job. I really love working with and encouraging kids in the arts. Sig and Laurie (mentioned in the story as Amber's folks, but in reality my own dad and stepmom) came to watch the recording session with Krystal and be supportive, and Laurie at least can be heard in the bloopers in the end. I also owe great thanks to my friend Robyn who helped with the punk rock details. She knows rock history back and forth and I knew I just needed the right comment or two to make the character really pop. The story adaptation is extremely loose - in the original, a writer moves into a flat below a doctor who keeps his rooms unnaturally cold, and finds out that the doc has maintained his life, long past standard death, by keeping himself perpetually chilled, presumably at least in part to prevent decay. Rather than going the doctor/science route for my version, I went with magic and reanimation. I did work a little hint into the story that Simon might be considering some further hocus pocus to preserve himself, but which might involve harming Amber, and he decides he can't. On the other hand, Amber's slightly guilty concern about having her backpack possibly searched and her disregard for the missing "spooky books" might just indicate that she's not quite ready to let go yet. The original story "Cool Air" is also notable in that a female character is actually quoted as speaking - the landlady of the flats. Of course, this is only so she can be a terrible ethnic stereotype, but at least she actually talks, and may be the only female in all of HPL's major works who does. Stay tuned at the end of this for a short clip of the German version of Chillin' (retitled "Eiskalt") from Contendo Media!!! ******************************************** CHILLIN' Cast: Olivia (host) Amber Sorensen (16), punky teen Simon Strong (60s), aged punk rocker Det.

What kind of stuff? AMBER What? Stuff. Just ... stuff. Dude, you need to switch to decaf. Or valium. UPTON Did you ever see this man with any illegal substances? AMBER Well, he had all kinds of medications - being sick and all, and I [sounding mock sorry] I guess I forgot to look them all up in the handy dandy book of all things illegal.

UPTON Most kids your age still call their folks mom and dad. AMBER Maybe most kids your age. Most of us would rather be cremated. [shrugs] mm. Except to their face. The folks still like to think we're all the same little rugrats they knew and love. [snort] UPTON So you make a point of lying to your folks? AMBER There's that non-sequeter again. You should really get a bug zapper. JERMYN You probably think of it as "humoring them" rather than lying. UPTON Two faced is two faced. AMBER If you can't be two-faced, you shoulda found a better one to be stuck with. UPTON Look here-- AMBER I bet you never get to play good cop. UPTON What? JERMYN Howie, maybe we should take a break.

AMBER Look, my parents actually like me to use their names - makes them feel like they're helping me assert my personhood or something. I do it to humor them. UPTON Fine. UPTON [trying to sound unconcerned] We need a physical description of the alleged Mr. Strong. AMBER Watch a video of Madness Machine on Youtube. Then figure older. A bunch older. UPTON How very...specific. How tall was he? AMBER That's kind of a pickle. I never saw him stand up - he was always in his bumper car. UPTON What? JERMYN The mechanized wheelchair. AMBER He had to avoid exerting himself [thinking] OK, so imagine classic Simon, then really thin - like even more than heroin-chic, maybe almost to starving third world skinny. JERMYN Could it have been faked? Perhaps something in the way he dressed? AMBER Doubtful, Phyllis. He usually kicked it in jams. Not much to hide behind. UPTON Speak English. AMBER [sounding british-ish] The subject in question had a strong tendency to desport himself in capacious yet abbreviated trousers, much as those the predominant choice of American surfboard riders lean toward. JERMYN [Snicker] UPTON You mean he wore shorts. In that cold? MUSIC AMBIANCE COLD ROOM SIMON If it bothers you, I could put something else on. AMBER Yeah, 'cuz like you're so tasty, Bubba-Ho-Tep, that I'm gonna totally jump on you if you keep wheeling around half-naked like that. [beat] Nah - it's kinda creepy, but I'll adjust.

UPTON But you never told anyone about him? AMBER He'd'a been pissed. Plus people woulda thought - you know - creepy stuff. UPTON What if he decided to try something? AMBER Beep beep. I can outrun a wheelchair. At least as far as the stairs. UPTON And what if he could really get up? AMBER I doubt it, Billy. He didn't have any little blue pills. UPTON [flustered] I didn't-- I meant get up and walk. AMBER Yeah you did. You're the one who's all worried he's gonna go perv on me.

MUSIC AMBIANCE INTERVIEW ROOM JERMYN [snap] Howie. Did you have any more questions? UPTON What about his hair? AMBER [snapped back] What? It looked pretty much the same. UPTON A-ha! Too clever for his own good. AMBER Not every guy over 50 needs canned hair, Billy. UPTON And this guy claimed to be THE Simon Strong. AMBER I already told you he was. I didn't even know who that was that first time, cause like I'd never heard of him before, but soon as I could, I googled him and voy-la! UPTON Vwa-la. AMBER [whispered] Beep Beep. UPTON What? JERMYN For the record, Simon Strong was the lead singer and songwriter for a punk band called Madness Machine in the mid to late 1970s. AMBER American punk band. UPTON Who cares? AMBER [earnest] It's important - British punk was British punk and American punk was-- JERMYN But you'd never heard of this band before you met Strong? AMBER [sigh] Pre-cisely. Funny sort of six degrees thing, though - once I saw the band name, it clicked, 'cuz my grandad had one of their albums in his LP collection. Serious. How's that for whoo-OO-oo [spooky noise]? UPTON [disbelieving snort] Your grandpa listened to punk? AMBER Duh. He willed his tattoos to science. Stay back from the door, Billy. JERMYN You said you met Mr. Strong --? AMBER Halloween night. That's why they had such a cool band in the house. JERMYN About nine months, then. And how often did you see him? AMBER Most days. I did his shopping and stuff and stopped in for a chat. MUSIC AMBIANCE COOL ROOM SIMON Are you a retard? The Sex Pistols were totally the Monkees of punk. They were a made band. Their manager put them together. AMBER [teasing] I suppose you met him too? SIMON Once. How much respect can you have for a guy who also created Bow Wow Wow? AMBER Bow Wow What? SIMON You must ride the short bus. Beep beep, Billy, don't stand in the way of the door. [wheezy chuckle] The Ramones, now, they were the real thing. They lived punk. AMBER You're pretty feisty for an old crip who's s'posed to keep frosty. SIMON [dry chuckle] MUSIC AMBIANCE INTERVIEW ROOM JERMYN When our people searched the "residence" over the club, they found a number of, um - unusual items. AMBER Like? JERMYN The enormous refrigeration unit that apparently kept the place fairly, um-- UPTON Meat locker-ish. AMBER [wry] So he was cool. So? UPTON According to electric company records, he was using enough energy to be frozen. AMBER And? What, didn't he pay his bill? It's his business what he does with his juice. UPTON There are a lot of things you can do with that much juice. Things, for instance, that the narcotics squad would be very interested in. AMBER [exasperated] Beep beep. UPTON I am getting really sick of-- JERMYN Amber. Can you shed any light on the occult paraphernalia he apparently collected? AMBER It's not like I had the run of the place. We'd just hang in the main room - where all the video consoles are. He talked about some old books, though. JERMYN Did you ever see anyone else with him? Did he talk about other visitors? AMBER Oh, heck no. He didn't like people to see how sick he was, but like, since I already knew, he had somebody to talk to, right? AMBIANCE COOL ROOM SOUND DOOR SLIDES SHUT AMBER Hey!

AMBER [sniffing] Ok, so it smells older than Bruce Campbell, but still -- SIMON I need to be alone. Come back next Wednesday. MUSIC AMBIANCE INTERVIEW ROOM AMBER He did burn incense and drink weird stuff. I figured it was alternative medicine, or maybe Kabbalah - that's all the rage with the red carpet crowd, right? UPTON Did he ever say what was wrong with him? AMBER Mun-yoes syn-drome, Billy. UPTON Stop calling-- JERMYN But what is Munoz syndrome? Did you ever, say, Google it? AMBER Well, yeeah. There were a couple - but they had longer names, and were like degenerative eye diseases, so I figured, you know, that wasn't it. UPTON Did you ever ask him? AMBER Well, right off I asked if it was catching, and he said no, so I figured that's all I care about, and if wants to talk about it he'll say. MUSIC AMBIANCE COOL ROOM SIMON Munoz syndrome is extremely rare. I contracted it almost thirty years ago-- AMBER Ooh! Let me guess. When you [reporter voice] "vanished from the public eye"! SIMON Where--? AMBER Wikipedia. Shh. I'm shushing. SIMON My band was in New Orleans, when this came on. Normal medicine couldn't help, so I turned to the uh, folk practitioners. AMBER Like Voodoo? No wonder you're buying all creepy books and incense. SIMON It's a lot more serious than movie voodoo, but that's close. AMBER And the cold? SIMON It slows my metabolism. AMBER Mine too - Brr.

SIMON No, the building's wiring. Between music and lights and all, it carries quite a load. AMBER You should move, then - and before summer. Seriously. SIMON How can I go anywhere? I have to stay a constant level. AMBER I dunno.

MUSIC AMBIANCE INTERVIEW ROOM JERMYN But he was well off - according to the IRS. AMBER He spent a buttload on his creepy books and exotic bags of dirt and stuff. [catching herself] Or, that's what he told me. UPTON And he trusted you to carry around these expensive packages? AMBER I didn't know what they were. I'd probably have freaked and got all paranoid. He said other people were after them, too. UPTON [eager] Other people? Do you think they might have taken the books after Strong disappeared? AMBER Tscha. He didn't disappear. He's dead. Beep Beep. UPTON [takes in an angry breath] JERMYN Ok, let's go back-- UPTON No, let's talk about this. You're saying that the corpse you discovered in that - what you call "the cold room" - was the person you knew as Simon Strong. AMBER It had to be. UPTON Then pray explain to me how it could be that that body had been dead for well over a decade? AMBER [shrug, statement] You're wrong. UPTON So all our experts are wrong. And you know better. AMBER [trying] Your experts obviously aren't familiar with Munoz Syndrome. That's all. UPTON Right. So you know better. You know what I think? JERMYN [warning] Howie... UPTON No, Phyl. Not this time. I'm getting tired of this little girl, trying to live in a dream world. She needs a dose of harsh reality. AMBER [hysterical laughter] Harsh reality?

Dude, my eyeballs are already icing over. SIMON [pause] Maybe you shouldn't come here any more. AMBER [upset] What?

This guy has been trying to establish himself as Simon Strong, famous recluse and mysterious celebrity. AMBER That's too dumb even for the short bus. UPTON Oh, yeah? Dumb to the tune of half a mil a year. Between the club, which the real Strong did purchase in December of 1979, and the royalties on his old music - particularly the musical um, chunks, or segments-- JERMYN Riffs. UPTON Yes, whatever, that people used in their own-- JERMYN Sampled. UPTON [deep annoyed sigh] During the 80s and 90s-- [waits, but there is no interjection] --he had pots of money rolling in. AMBER Which he spent on books and crud. I told you. UPTON Kid, no one spends that much on books. Did you ever actually see these books, or did you just bring him book-shaped packages? AMBER [silent for a beat] No, I guess I never actually saw them. UPTON I say he's been salting it away, staying around long enough to move everything to the Caymans and then - Voy-la - take a powder. AMBER But the body-- JERMYN [sadly] WAS the real Simon Strong. Dental records have confirmed it. But Amber, he'd been dead for a very long time. UPTON Which explains the cold. The fake didn't want the - uh - deceased stinking up the place. AMBER [muttered] Yeah, easier to freeze the whole place, than just pack a corpse in a chest freezer. JERMYN Are you up to telling us how you discovered the body? AMBER [very subdued] Sure. I got to the club, and everything was dark. I freaked-- Well, I got really worried, and ran up to his room.

Nan lane 1974, Erving Goffman, yon kokennchenn sosyològ ameriken ki te travay anpil sou entèraksyon moun ak moun, pibliye Frame Analysis: An essay on the organization of experience. Ladan, Goffman - ki te lengwis tou - montre kijan moun entèprete sa k ap pase nan monn lan atravè kadraj yo genyen. Kadraj la se jan yon sous enfòmasyon defini, konstwi, enfòmasyon sa a. Jan li deside prezante l la tou pral enfliyanse jan moun ki resevwa enfòmasyon an reyaji. Youn nan pi gwo aplikasyon teyori sa se nan maketing. Maketing itilize kominikasyon pou kreye lakay kliyan an sèten konpòtman ak aksyon espesifik. Kadraj pèmèt li pwovoke konpòtman sa yo. Si m vle w achte alkòl, m pa gen enterè montre w imaj moun ki sou k ap sal kò yo, m ap montre w foto moun k ap fete anvan etap ki pi lèd la. Menm jan tou, si m ap fè kanpay kont alkòl, m ap montre imaj moun k ap vomi, imaj aksidan machin, ak lòt imaj ki pou dekouraje w bwè. Se pou sa maketing se yon biznis 1.7 trilyon dola pa ane; anviwon 176 fwa lajan peyi dAyiti fè nan yon ane. Jan kadraj sa yo vin ankadre kominikasyon nou enfliyanse anpil jan nou entèprete done nou resevwa, jan nou trete yo e sitou jan nou kominike sou yo. An 1995, yon etid montre nouvèl kadejak ak vyolans domestik ki ekri nan vwa pasiv - kidonk, istwa ki, jan nou te wè l nan premye epizòd la, efase moun ki fè zak la - fè lektè ak lektris yo plis aksepte vyolans sou fanm sa yo. Menm etid la montre nan jounal yo t ap analize a - ki te Boston Globe - vwa pasiv la itilize defwa pi souvan pase vwa aktiv pou pale de zak sa yo. Nan yon fason pi ekstwòdinè ankò, an 2009, yon lòt etid montre lè se fanm ki fè zak sa yo sou gason, jounalis yo mwens itilize vwa pasiv. Nou konstate menm tandans sa yo nan laprès Ayiti. Vwa pasiv la se jis youn nan zouti kadraj medya yo itilize pou minime vyolans ki fèt sou fanm. Istwa kadejak tounen eskandal seksyèl, adiltè, gason fanbre … Mo prezime lage tout kote ki kreye dout nan tèt moun k ap tande nouvèl la … Detay grafik ki ranfòse aspè eskandal la olye krim ki komèt la … kadraj senpatik sou sa akize a fè pou kominote a, siksè li nan lavi l, elt…tout bay pwoblèm. Se sou aspè sa, kote fason medya yo pale de viktim yo ankouraje kilti vyòl, envite nou, Widlore Mérancourt pral pale avèk nou. Patisipe nan konvèsasyon an, li epi kòmante biyè nou pibliye sou emisyon an sou kozekiltivyol.com/s01e06.
Kris & David are joined by Daniel Makabe (@danielmakabe) to discuss the week that was April 15-21, 1991.

Hoe onafhankelijk is de NZA, de Nederlandse Zorg Autoriteit?Daarover debatteerde deze week de Tweede Kamer. Vorige week bevestigde de commissie Borstlap de feiten die eerder door klokkenluider Gotlieb waren gemeld .Bij de NZA is met declaraties gerommeld, de privacybescherming was niet op orde en de minister bemoeide zich met de ‘onafhankelijke’ toezichthouder.De minister beloofde om die onafhankelijkheid van de NZA in ere te herstellen.Maar hoe zit met de onafhankelijkheid van de Inspectie voor de Gezondheidszorg, de Onderwijsinspectie, de VWA en vele andere inspecties? Hoe ver staan die van hun ministerie? Argos inspecteert de inspecties.
Join CWT4R next Wednesday October 2nd as we talk with activist Lisa Gilmore and DiVine Gardley (survivor) about Domestic Violence in the LGBTQ Community and hear what effect it has on a child from Divine who is an alley. Listen in and hear her story. If you have a story you would like to share please inbox us. On March 7th 2013, President Obama signed into law the re-authorized Violence against Women Act that provides for more services for victims of Domestic Violence. This law will give agencies the ability to apply for grants and obtain money to help educate about the prevention of sexual abuse and have the ability to care for Domestic Violence victims. Rape victims also had a victory because now the testing for DAN should be shorter providing for a quicker resolution to finding rapist that are in the system quicker, helping to get them off the street. The reauthorized VWA also includes greater support for LGBTQ victims, immigrants and Native American women who have been traditionally undeserved. Talk to us do you feel the trend of Domestic Violence is changing for the better or getting worst? Call in on 347-215-8985 at 10:30 pm eastern time, 9:30 pm central standard time, 8:30 pm mountain time and 7:30 pm pacific time Wednesday, October 2nd. Press 1 to speak. Silence has al
Ooit was de Keuringsdienst van Waren een trotse, betrouwbare instantie. Er waren door het hele land gespecialiseerde laboratoria die heel precies onregelmatigheden konden opsporen. De controleurs werden alom gerespecteerd. Maar de laatste jaren is het onrustig. De keuringsdienst van Waren veranderde in de Voedsel en Warenautoriteit (VWA). Er volgde fusie op fusie en bezuinigingen op het ambtenarenapparaat. Kortom: Alles wordt minder. Maar toch heeft “de nieuwe VWA de ambitie het kwaliteitsniveau te verbeteren”, zo staat in het laatste jaarverslag. Zelfregulering, risicoprofilering en systeemtoezicht zijn de nieuwe toverwoorden. De VWA wil de ondernemers zo min mogelijk tot last zijn. Hoe degelijk is de controle op consumentenproducten en levensmiddelen? Hoe onafhankelijk is de Voedsel en Warenautoriteit nog? Een verslag van Joost Wilgenhof RADIO ONJO Michel Krielaars, correspondent in Moskou voor NRC-Handelsblad, is te gast en spreekt over de brute mishandeling van de Russische onderzoeksjournalist Oleg Kasjin en de omstandigheden waaronder kritische journalisten in Rusland hun werk moeten doen. Presentatie: Max van Weezel.

In this study a structure–function analysis has been employed to analyze transcriptional regulation through the Mediator subunit MED25. A relationship could be established between predicted structural domains and functional characteristics of this protein. Most critically the region responsible for interaction of MED25 with the Mediator was identified. Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that the so–called VWA domain (von–Willebrand A domain, amino acids 1–290) is both sufficient and required for this contact. Site–directed mutagenesis indicates that this binding reaction involves the non–conserved loop SR2, which is protruding from this domain. Based on the results of this analysis a model was proposed, in which the primary contact is established by ionic forces and is further stabilized by hydrophobic interactions. The previously identified ACID domain was reported to bind to VP16. Targeted mutagenesis of four different motifs in this region impaired not only transcriptional activation through MED25 but also led to reduced binding to VP16. In particluar a lysine–rich motif is also present in two domains of PTOV1, a close homolog of MED25. Noteworthy, K518 is not conserved in the PTOV1_B domain, which in contrast to PTOV1_A and the ACID domain of MED25 does not bind to VP16. This led to the hypothesis that K518 is critically involved in the binding of VP16 to MED25. Furthermore it could be demonstrated that MED25 contains an intrinsic transcriptional activation capacity, which is localized in the region 290–715. This indicates additional recruitment of other factors to promoters through this region. Together with the Mediator binding VWA–domain and the VP16–interaction domain this region might facilitate transcriptional activation. A genome–wide screen showed downregulation of c–Jun and FosB following overexpression of MED25. Interestingly, expression of GSK3β, a downstream target of which is cyclin D1, seems to be stimulated by MED25. Together with the finding that overexpression of MED25 leads to activation of a p21 reporter, this raises the possibility that MED25 is involved in cell cycle control. An overlap has been discovered by comparison of MED25 target genes and genes identified previously as target for the viral activator EBNA2. The close homology between the activation domains of EBNA2 and VP16 implies a common mechanism of transcriptional activation by these two viral proteins through MED25. The involvement of MED25 in gene activation by viral activators might indicate a role for this Mediator subunit in viral transcription.
