![]() These crystals provide a soul connection and the highest self-illumination, as well as a cosmic doorway to other worlds. They are attuned to higher, more spiritually enlightened things, and embody true humility. The higher vibrational White and Lavender/White crystals are associated with the Higher Crown, Soul Star, and Stellar Gateway Chakras. Their violet rays have the universal life force of magic, dreams, inspiration, and destiny. Imbalances of the Crown Chakra are treated with Light Violet crystals. When the Crown is in balance, our energies are in balance. It is the fountainhead of our beliefs and the source of our spirituality. It controls how we think, and how we respond to the world around us. The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and is our gateway to the expanded universe beyond our bodies. It is a color of mystery, wisdom, and judgment. The dark blue/purple crystals of indigo are used to treat imbalances of the Third Eye Chakra. When the Third Eye Chakra is in balance our thoughts and internal communications within ourselves are healthy and vibrant. Our consciousness is located here and we relate to ourselves through this chakra. It directs our sight and everyday awareness of the world. The Third Eye Chakra is the center of our perception and command. It is a perfect stone to gift to those with terminal illnesses or to use in preparation for a conscious death experience. It is an ideal crystal to hold or meditate upon during the death experience, of another or oneself, allowing the release of the temporal physical body with more ease, assuredness, and peace. It encourages the release of sorrow and rejoicing in a loved one’s spirit being freed from the confinement of the physical body.Ĭalled “the soul stone,” Amethyst assists in understanding and connecting to the eternal existence of the soul and initiates one’s own deep soul experiences. Its presence communicates that there is no death, only transitioning and changing forms. Amethyst is a marvelous aid in overcoming addictions by counteracting the effects of drugs and alcohol on brain function while imparting its own peaceful sustaining energy.īecause Amethyst initiates wisdom and greater understanding, it is a comforting crystal for those grieving the loss of a loved one. It also helps one understand the reality of cause and effect in behavior and assists in better decision-making. It was credited with creating an atmosphere of pious calm, imbuing a sense of mental peace, and quietude.Īmethyst helps in identifying the root causes behind one’s negative behaviors, habits, and emotional patterns that create imbalance and disease. Additionally, Amethyst was popular in rosaries and prayer beads. It was also often used to align planetary and astrological influences. In Eastern cultures, it was listed in descriptions of sacred "gem-cities", "trees of life", and used in temple offerings for worship. To the Egyptians, it was Hemag, listed in the Book of the Dead to be carved into heart-shaped amulets for burial. To the Hebrews, it was Ahlamah, the ninth stone in the breastplate of the High Priest engraved with the tribe of Dan, as well as the twelfth foundation stone for the New Jerusalem. In the spiritual world, an Amethyst crystal provided a connection to the Divine. Like other royal stones, it protected its wearer from disease and infection. On the other side, it was considered to be a powerful psychic stone of protection against witchcraft and black magic. It lent assistance to hunters in the capture of wild beasts and fowl. It also kept soldiers from harm and gave them victory over their enemies. For travelers, it was worn as protection from treachery and surprise attacks. Some historical Amethyst healing reports include its ability to control evil thoughts, increase intelligence, and render men shrewd in business matters. Even the undead can get in the mood for the holidays, y’know? ![]() Our thoughts: Perhaps Tim Burton’s finest film, this movie mines horror tropes to tell a story about hope, love, and the holiday spirit. This original classic, however? Timeless.

![]() UNEC, Scientific-Research Institute of Economic Studies,ĭepartment of knowledge economy, senior research fellow Ph.D., Associate Professor Farhad Gamboy oglu Mikayilov The functionality of the proposed system was tested and results showed that the proposed system has 100% anomaly network intrusion detection rate and better functional features as compared to the existing network monitoring applications observed.ĬORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN RESOURCE-RICH COUNTRIES EFFECTS ![]() Suitable programming languages and development environment such as Java, JavaScript, Hypertext Preprocessor, Hypertext markup language and MySQL were used in coding the software prototype. The proposed model was developed using use-case and sequence diagrams. Iterative software model was adopted as the software development life cycle based on its strengths and suitability. Data about the existing and proposed model was gathered using key informant interview approach, and observation of the existing software. This research paper was designed to tackle the problems exhibited by the existing network monitoring application by integrating different network monitoring services in a single model using the power of agent’s distributed processing and monitoring services. Monitoring complex computer network environment is now a very challenging task for network administrators despite the various existing monitoring applications for networks that are faced with the issues of centralized monitoring, which causes network traffic, reduces network bandwidth, and are unable to concurrently run two or more network services. The proposed system is highly recommended for usage in any local area network environment. Results revealed detection rate to be high and with a very minimal false alarm rate. The system was tested for its effectiveness and efficiency in both non-production and production network environment. Java programming language was used to implement the 2DES algorithm in the security mechanism proposed. This research work used a 2 Factor or Double Data Encryption Standard (DES) approach to encrypt / decrypt messages between agents in our proposed network monitoring platform to prevent malicious agent from hijacking the exact network data content during communication. Several techniques like fault isolation or sandboxing, access control to host resources, digital signatures, strong authentication, proof carrying code and message encryption were suggested by different research scholars as a means of mitigating the menace but however, no strong evidence on their application / implementation were mentioned. This research paper examined the security threat issues against agents/multi-agent based system platform by malicious agent attackers in a network environment. The comparison will show that the proposed.Net framework open source solution contains extra features that do not exist in neither commercial nor open source solutions. The proposed.Net solution is comparable with commercial and open source solutions. It can be used by a single PC to monitor that PC’s network or can be installed on a gateway PC to monitor the entire network. The solution aims to be a.Net framework open source product that is flexible to be adapted to the user's needs. The problem of having a flexible, free and modern, in respect to the common industry knowledge, Network Monitoring tool is the goal of this paper. Network Monitoring tools are usually costly and not flexible enough to be adapted to the needs of the user. Network Monitoring tools aim to audit and keep track of certain parameters to ensure the network’s efficiency and to provide information that will assist in the network analysis. ![]() Such resources needed to be monitored are the Memory, the CPU, the Power Consumption and the Network. Tools that monitor the performance of a PC are an essential part of today’s quality control of the computer systems. In order to image the pathway by which these vesicles reach the neuronal plasma membrane, we expressed super-ecliptic pHluorin (SEP) fused to the extracellular domain of full-length Nfasc186 in cortical neurons. Nfasc186 is transported in vesicles generated in the secretory pathway by microtubule-based fast axonal transport, which is probably Kinesin 1-dependent ( Barry et al., 2014 Bekku and Salzer, 2020 Fréal et al., 2019 Ichinose et al., 2019 Thetiot et al., 2020). ![]() Nfasc186 is inserted into the neuronal membrane at the soma and axon terminus Kv7.3 also interacts with AnkG ( Pan et al., 2006 Zhang et al., 1998) and follows a similar route to the AIS ( Devaux et al., 2004 Pan et al., 2006 Rasmussen et al., 2007 Shah et al., 2008). ![]() Interaction with AnkG immobilises Nfasc186 at the AIS but is unnecessary for the incorporation of the protein into the axonal membrane. Unlike Nav1.6, direct fusion of transport vesicles at the proximal axon does not contribute to the accumulation of Nfasc186 at the AIS ( Akin et al., 2015). Analysis by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) combined with fluorescence loss in photobleaching (FLIP) shows that Nfasc186 is highly mobile in the neuronal membrane and that lateral diffusion in the axon, both proximally and distally to the AIS from the soma and axon terminal respectively, is primarily responsible for Nfasc186 delivery to the AIS. In this study, we show that vesicles transport Nfasc186 to two spatially distinct locations in cortical neurons, the cell soma and the axon terminus, where they fuse with the neuronal membrane. Deletion of Nfasc186 in culture and in vivo causes the disintegration of the AIS with the loss of Nav, AnkG, βIV-Spectrin and Nr-CAM the consequent disordered electrophysiology impairs motor learning ( Alpizar et al., 2019 Zonta et al., 2011). Neurofascin186 (Nfasc186) is a transmembrane protein with an essential role in maintaining the intactness of the AIS complex and in restricting AIS proteins to this specialized domain ( Alpizar et al., 2019 Boiko et al., 2007 Jenkins and Bennett, 2001 Zonta et al., 2011). Hence, determining the pathways by which membrane proteins are delivered to the AIS is not only important for understanding nervous system development, but may also shed light on how excitability is modulated in the mature neuron. However, whether membrane proteins are exclusively inserted directly into the AIS as AnkG/membrane protein complexes ( Leterrier et al., 2017), are concentrated at the AIS by selective endocytosis, or primarily arrive by lateral diffusion in the membrane from other insertion sites, or indeed whether all three mechanisms apply remains uncertain ( Akin et al., 2015 Barry et al., 2014 Boiko et al., 2007 Brachet et al., 2010 Fréal et al., 2019 Hamdan et al., 2020 Leterrier et al., 2017 Nakada et al., 2003 Torii et al., 2020 Winckler et al., 1999 Yap et al., 2012 Zonta et al., 2011). This morphological plasticity reflects the ability of the AIS to change the amount of its constituent proteins rather than their density ( Evans et al., 2015). After AIS assembly during development, this domain can retain a degree of plasticity such that changes in its size and length can influence neuronal excitability in the mature nervous system ( Grubb et al., 2011 Petersen et al., 2017 Kuba, 2012). The axon initial segment (AIS) is located at the proximal part of the axon where the high density of voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) promotes the initiation and propagation of nerve impulses ( Leterrier, 2018 Palay et al., 1968). Neurons are highly polarised cells with functionally distinct membrane domains. ![]() This study reveals how key proteins are delivered to the AIS and thereby how they may contribute to its functional plasticity. Nfasc186 is highly mobile after insertion in the axonal membrane and diffuses bidirectionally until immobilised at the AIS through its interaction with AnkyrinG. Vesicles transport Nfasc186 to the soma and axon terminal where they fuse with the neuronal plasma membrane. Therefore, we have studied how these proteins reach the AIS. ![]() Neurofascin186 (Nfasc186) has an essential role in stabilising the AIS complex to the proximal axon, and the AIS channel protein Kv7.3 regulates neuron excitability. Although endocytosis contributes to AIS turnover, how membrane proteins traffic to this proximal axonal domain is incompletely understood. Ion channel complexes promote action potential initiation at the mammalian axon initial segment (AIS), and modulation of AIS size by recruitment or loss of proteins can influence neuron excitability. ![]() Weston Presidio bought a 33% stake in the company, and during the first year closed on over 100 real estate deals. In January 2007, Liautaud selected Weston Presidio, a private-equity firm, to help acquire better locations for the expanding company. Jimmy John Liautaud with Jimmy John's president James North After 18 months of getting the stores “back to basics” and instilling in them “some of that initial spark”, he was able to help the stores become more profitable. Together with his partner, and now President & CEO, James North, he visited 70 of the poorest-performing stores. Sales at the stores managed by Liautaud were outpacing the franchised stores by a wide margin. īy 2002, the company had about 200 stores, 10% of which were corporate stores that Liautaud oversaw himself. In 1994 he sold his first Jimmy John's franchise, in addition to the 10 stores owned by Liautaud himself. Coulter helped Liautaud take his business to the next level. At the time, Coulter was a Pizza Hut Franchisee, and later founded and ran Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon and other chains. ![]() In 1988, Liautaud met businessman Jamie Coulter. The business continued to grow, and he was able to open his second and third shops in 19. At the end of his second year, Liautaud was able to purchase his father's share in the business and he became sole owner. By the end of his first year, the restaurant started making a profit. He began by bringing samples door-to-door to the nearby Eastern Illinois University dorms. Due to the poor location of his first store, Liautaud decided to include delivery of his sandwiches to boost sales. On JanuJimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches opened in Charleston, Illinois. With the help of his family as tasters, he decided to put four sandwiches on his original menu. After a chance encounter at a sandwich shop, Jimmy John realized that he could open a sandwich shop within his available budget by purchasing premium meats at a neighborhood market and baking his own bread. Initially Jimmy John wanted to open a hot dog stand, but after visiting numerous such stands throughout the summer of 1982, he realized the $25,000 would not be enough for such a venture. Although his father wanted him to enlist, he agreed to loan the money in exchange for a 48% stake in the business. Jimmy John Liautaud and Jimmy John's franchise owner Drew BreesĪfter Liautaud graduated from high school in 1982, his father offered him a loan of $25,000 to open a business on the condition that if the business failed, he would enlist in the US Army. Founded by active type designers, the company aims to benefit both font foundries and end users, expanding the market for high-quality, legally licensed typefaces. With one click, users can rent fully functional fonts for 30 days at 10% of their normal retail price. In 2015 Fontstand revolutionized font licensing by offering short-term font rentals at attractive prices. Fontstand’s ambition has always been to introduce professional-quality typefaces to new audiences, and supporting iPadOS lets us reach many people who have never licensed fonts before,” says Fontstand co-founder Peter Biľak. “There are three times as many active iPad users as there are desktop Mac users. Since iPadOS now supports custom fonts, Fontstand is expanding its MacOS and Windows font rental system, allowing a growing number of compatible iPad applications (including Apple’s own Keynote, Pages and Numbers, as well as Adobe’s Photoshop) to access 15,000+ fonts from 50 renowned independent foundries. If you are an educational institution interested in this offer, write us at or fill out the form at students education licensing press releaseįontstand has introduced an innovative iPad app that lets users explore, filter, manage and use its extensive library of professional-quality fonts. ![]() Schools get a convenient, affordable font licensing solution, students get to work with professional-quality tools on their own computers, and foundries and type designers get full payment for their work, a win-win-win situation. ![]() Each student will then receive a voucher for his or her share of the budget, gaining access to Fontstand’s growing library of top-quality type families. How it works: participating design schools and colleges can set their font budgets and specify a number of students. Regular users of Fontstand’s Mac and Windows desktop applications can try fonts for free and rent them for just 10% of their retail price per month, and now students at participating design schools and colleges will be able to rent them for just half that, as Fontstand will forego its share of the license fee (effectively donating it to the school) while ensuring that the foundries still receive their royalties in full. The same monthly rental system now used by thousands of small- and medium-sized design studios is now being made available for educational institutions at a special price. The average foundry, on the other hand, is unlikely to agree to let schools install its fonts on thousands of student computers when there’s no practical way to guarantee that the files won’t be kept and/or redistributed, even long after the students graduate.Įnter Fontstand, the company that pioneered technical solutions to make font licensing affordable for users and profitable for independent foundries. Today, more and more students are doing more and more of their work on their own laptops, but few can afford to maintain a broad library of high-quality, legally licensed typefaces, and fewer still can justify the purchase of a font that will be used for a single project and may never be needed again. ![]() In the days when the “notebooks” that most students carried were three-ring binders, schools had computer labs where students could work with fonts licensed for use on school equipment, an arrangement that was hardly cheap, but at least centralized and manageable. Many schools, however, find it difficult to give their students access to professional-quality type. Today’s design students are tomorrow’s design professionals, and they need to train with professional design tools, including high-quality digital typefaces. |
