With an estimated 740,000 people in Australia exposed in pregnancy and in utero to the synthetic oestrogen DES (diethylstilboestrol), plus their off-spring, there will always be ample supply of human models to study the effects of EDCs.

Created by renowned contemporary artist Nathan Sawaya and named one of CNN’s Top Ten ‘Global Must-See Exhibitions,’ THE ART OF THE BRICK, presented by M&T Bank, features original pieces, as well as re-imagined versions of some of the world’s most famous art masterpieces, like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” and Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” made exclusively from LEGO bricks. Visitors will have the opportunity to get up-close with the fan favorite, “Yellow,” a life-size sculpture of a man ripping his chest open with thousands of yellow LEGO bricks cascading from the cavity.

Thank you, for joining us today and for your interest in MRC Global. We look forward to having you join us on our first quarter conference call in May. Have a good day, and goodbye.

Cell cycle and infectivity analyses.Cultures of HEK293T cells or HEK293T cell lines stably expressing shRNA (described above) were infected at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 3 with virus, as described below. Forty-eight hours after infection, the cells were collected and washed three times with 1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cell nuclei were isolated by incubating the cell pellets in a solution containing 10 mM PIPES [piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid)], 0.1 M NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, and 0.1% Triton X-100 (pH 6.8). RNase A (0.2 mg/ml) and propidium iodide (0.02 mg/ml) were added to the suspended nuclei to degrade RNA and stain DNA, respectively. Nuclear DNA content was quantitated by flow cytometry using a FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). The fraction of cells in the G1 or G2/M phase of the cell cycle was determined by analysis using FlowJo software. For infectivity analyses, cells infected with a luciferase reporter virus were prepared for luciferase assays by using the Promega luciferase assay kit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (catalog no. E501; Promega). Photon emission was measured by using a Victor V3 luminometer (PerkinElmer).

“Mainlanders speak more rudely,” Hong says. Yang leaps out of her chair and begins to act out a scene in which someone has sat in her assigned seat on a bus. “If I’m a Taiwanese, I’ll say, ‘Excuse me, sorry, this is my seat,’” she says, using a gentle, sing-song, apologetic tone. Her partner in the role-play, another classmate, says quickly, “Oh I’m sorry!” and gets out of her seat.

“We could lower our debt by 10 percent and reduce financial costs by 2 billion yuan ($298 million) through the reform,” Chen said at the parliament congress.

Addressing the statute of limitations, the Seventh Circuit noted that plaintiffs did not contest that their claims were now outside of the relevant limitations period. The original claim was filed in 2008 and the longest period from any state antitrust statute – six years – barred any claim filed after 2014. Accordingly, the IPPs relied on tolling or relation back arguments. To relate back, plaintiffs needed to show that their claim, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15, "arose out of the conduct, transaction, or occurrence set out—or attempted to be set out—in the original pleading."6 Where the IPPs’ original complaint focused on purchases of steel pipes, tubing, and sheet from distributors and resellers, their new complaint included dozens of household and commercial products making virtually every American consumer and business a putative class member. Plaintiffs argued that their original product definition included "any consumer steel product" but the Court found that the IPPs’ original complaint was limited to products manufactured at steel mills, rather than a host of downstream consumer and industrial products where steel was merely an input. Thus, the Court determined the original definition was insufficient to put defendants on notice of this wider claim. That the IPPs had issued thirdparty subpoenas to consumer product sellers Whirlpool and John Deere was similarly insufficient to put defendants on notice that the IPP claims encompassed all these manufactured end products. While defendants complained about this overbroad discovery in their original motion to dismiss, the Court was not persuaded that defendants had ever been properly notified or – as IPPs suggested – were aware of this broader claim "all along."7 Thus, relation back was unavailable under Rule 15.

Why is branding so important? How does it help tell your company or organization’s story? And how do you know when a rebrand in order? Matt Low, creative director at Crowley Webb, will offer insights on the strategy and creative behind branding through the lens of two uniquely different case studies – the Buffalo Museum of Science and the 11 Day Power Play.

‘You will get the money much quicker this way than going through the ownership group and their runaround that they suggest,’ the employee wrote.
