The team was led by Guangwen Tang, an associate profes- sor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Golden Rice, which contains beta car- otene, was developed as a solution for Vitamin A deficiency in children, Kritz told the Daily in an email. Such deprivation causes blindness in approximately 250,000 children annually, and about half of those children die within a year as a result of the sight loss. During the 2008 study, researchers gave 72 primary school children in China’s Hunan province rations of the modified rice, according to a Sept. 18 article in ScienceInsider. All children were between the ages of six and eight years old. On Sept. 17 of this year, Tufts issued an email statement to media outlets standing by the findings of the study, but conceding an ethical violation. “While the study data were validated and no health or safety concerns were identified, the research itself was found not to have been conducted in full com- pliance with [institutional review board (IRB)] policy or federal regulations,” the university said in the statement.

Count New Bedford’s Half Hearted Hero and Providence’s The Down and Outs as two of them. Also on the bill, The Holy Mess, a punk rock act from Philly that reminds me of American Steel at times. 2.

    Open and Closed: January Open Not Your Average Joe’s Kitchen and Bar is leaving Warwick Mall-goers saying, “When did that get there?” after popping up on Bald Hill Road. Expect chain fare with an avant garde twist. For localvores also looking for a break from the ordinary, Table has arrived in Barrington, promising diners a cozy environment and exceptional service. Narragansett finally has a spot for Southern BBQ, cocktails and live music: Hank’s Down South showed up in Point Judith, Narragansett, offering an alternative to seafood. Moved Town Pizza II has moved down the street to its new location on 18 Kingstown Road, technically making it Town Pizza 2.5. And we say goodbye to… The Village Bean has closed leaving the folks in North Scituate fiending for caffeine. After confusing patrons by selling both cakes and scrambled eggs, The Cakery in Woonsocket shut its doors for good. The bar and venue formerly known as Effin’s Last Resort is now simply called The Last Resort. Guess Effin got Eff’d. And Thayer St. in Providence, Hercules Mulligan’s will lift heavy spirits no more.

  • TINY MOVING PARTS 29. September 2018 Stuttgart/Bad Cannstatt Clubcann
    TINY MOVING PARTS 29. September 2018 Stuttgart/Bad Cannstatt clubCann Europe 2018 Nach ihrer gerade beendeten und restlos ausverkauften April-Tour kündigen TINY MOVING PARTS aufgrund der großartigen Resonanz weitere Termine hierzulande an. Das Rock-Trio aus Benson/Minnesota tritt im September/Oktober 2018 in vier Städten auf, mit dabei natürlich das am 26. Januar 2018 erschienene neue Album „Swell“ (Big Scary Monsters/Alive). TINY MOVING PARTS sind live zu erleben: in Berlin am 28. September 2018 im Musik & Frieden, in Stuttgart am 29. September 2018 im clubCANN, in Frankfurt am 30. September 2018 im Nachtleben und in Hannover am 1. Oktober 2018 im Lux. Mit TINY MOVING PARTS kommt eine Band zurück auf Deutschlandtour, die zu den aufstrebenden Protagonisten einer neuen Generation gehört, die sich nicht auf eine musikalische Richtung festlegen lassen. Denn ihr emotionaler Rock verbindet auf aufregende Weise Spuren von Post-Hardcore mit Pop Punk. Das Trio selbst nennt so unterschiedliche Vorbilder wie Thursday, Tera Melos, MewithoutYou, The Fall Of Troy, Circle Takes The Square und Blink 182. Die drei Musiker sind aber nicht nur musikalisch miteinander verbandelt: Die Brüder William (dr) und Matthew Chevalier (b) spielen schon seit der High School mit ihrem Cousin Dylan Mattheisen (g, v) zusammen. 2008 veröffentlichen sie ihr erstes Album „Waves Rise, Waves Recede, The Ocean Is Full Of Waves” in Eigenregie, es hinterlässt aber keine signifikanten Spuren. Album Nummer 2 kommt schließlich am 19. Juni 2010 auf den Markt und heißt „Moving To Antarctica“. Auch dies geschieht in Eigenverantwortlichkeit ohne die Hilfe und Unterstützung eines Labels. Aber schon das dritte Werk „This Couch Is Long & Full Of Friendship” wird durch Kind of Like Records am 9.

  • The Bands of Detroit
    IT’S FREE! TAKE ONE! DETROIT PUNK ROCK SCENE REPORT It seems that the arsenal of democracy has been raided, pillaged, and ultimately, neglected. A city once teeming with nearly two million residents has seemingly emptied to 720,000 in half a century’s time (the actual number is likely around 770,000 residing citizens, including those who aren’t registered), leaving numerous plots of land vacant and unused. Unfortunately, those areas are seldom filled with proactive squatters or off-the-grid residents; most are not even occupied at all. The majority of the east and northwest sides of the city are examples of this urban blight. Detroit has lost its base of income in its taxpaying residents, simultaneously retaining an anchor of burdensome (whether it’s voluntary or not) poverty-stricken, government-dependent citizens. Just across the Detroit city borders are the gated communities of xenophobic suburban families, who turn their collective noses at all that does not beckon to their will and their wallet. Somewhere, in the narrow cracks between these two aforementioned sets of undesirables, is the single best punk rock scene you’ve heard nary a tale of, the one that everyone in the U.S. and abroad tends to overlook. Despite receiving regular touring acts (Subhumans, Terror, Common Enemy, Star Fucking Hipsters, Entombed, GBH, the Adicts, Millions of Dead Cops, Mouth Sewn Shut, DRI, DOA, etc), Detroit doesn’t seem to get any recognition for homegrown punk rock, even though we were the ones who got the ball rolling in the late 60s. Some of the city’s naysayers are little more than punk rock Glenn Becks or Charlie Sheens, while others have had genuinely bad experiences; however, if the world is willing to listen to what we as Detroiters have to say with an unbiased ear, we are willing to speak, candidly and coherently.
