  • Skokholm and Gateholm Coastal Waters Area Name
    Seascape Character Area Description Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Seascape Character Assessment No: 26 Seascape Character Skokholm and Gateholm coastal waters Area Name: Looking north to Skokholm (left) and St Ann's Head (right) from 2km SE of Skokholm, 3.5 km from shore Looking east to Skokholm (left) and Marloes peninsula Marloes Sands looking east Skokholm from the air (©Sid Howells) 26-1 Supplementary Planning Guidance: Seascape Character Assessment December 2013 Seascape Character Area Description Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Seascape Character Assessment Summary Description This area comprises the remote island of Skokholm, the coastal island of Gateholm, and the south west facing, rocky, indented eroding coast and western half of the Dale peninsula. The near vertical bedding of sandstone produces distinctive cliffs and rock formations with cliffs reaching around 50m high. The sea has strong tidal streams and races and is often subject to strong ocean swell particularly around St Ann’s Head. The Dale peninsula is an exposed plateau headland with both pasture and arable with rectilinear field pattern. Key Characteristics Skokholm is a wild, remote island with a flat top and sandstone cliffs. It is an important bird sanctuary and nature conservation site. Rough and jagged rock exposures and high sandstone cliffs, and rocky foreshores. The sea is highly disturbed and exposed with many rocks and other hazards, and strong tidal streams, races and eddies. The sea is heavily used by sailing cruising boats and day trippers, with some sea angling and diving and occasional wildlife trips to Skokholm. Due to the proximity to Milford Haven there is a lighthouse on Skokholm and at St Ann's Head.

  • The Omental Fat Band As an Immunomodulatory Microenvironment For
    The Omental Fat Band as an Immunomodulatory Microenvironment for Ovarian Cancer Courtney Alicia Cohen Dissertation submitted t o the faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences Paul C. Roberts, Chair Eva Marie Schmelz William S. Swecker David R. Bevan Liwu Li April 30th, 2013 Blacksburg, VA. Keywords: omentum, ovarian cancer, metastasis, microenvironment, parity, IL-12 The Omental Fat Band as an Immunomodulatory Microenvironment for Ovarian Cancer By Courtney Alicia Cohen (Abstract) Cancer research is evolving. Historically concerned with the mechanisms by which malignant cells circumvent cell death signaling and maintain unchecked proliferation, focus has shifted to the complex interactions between the tumor cell and the surrounding microenvironment. Ovarian cancer has one of the highest incidence-to-death ratios of all cancers, and is typically asymptomatic until the later stages, often resulting in metastasis prior to discovery. Naturally occurring phenotypes like lactation and child-bearing (parity) reduce ovarian cancer incidence, but the mechanisms are not understood. As the primary site for ovarian cacner metastasis, and a secondary lymphoid organ capable of mounting potent innate and adaptive immune responses, we believe the omental fat band (OFB) provides a unique opportunity to study complex interactions within the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, we hypothesize that once understood, leukocyte populations within the OFB could be modulated to disrupt the pro-tumorigenic cascade. Using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and quantitative realtime PCR (qRT-PCR), we comparatively evaluated the changes in the compositional immune profile of the OFB as a result of parity and cancer.

Three pair were heard from Panorama Heights in Stoke and I understand a pair snuck up behind two birders much to the birders’ surprise! Two broods of grey teal were spotted at Bells Is Sewerponds recently. Lake Killarney in Takaka township is the place to be for a picnic especially if you want to see dabchicks with a young one. Last week the chick was still young enough to ride on its parent’s back. Figure 1 Photo by Willie Cook. THANKS to all those who regularly send in sightings, Willie C, Don C, Chris P, Ingrid H, Peter F, Gillian P, David M, Rob S, Ken G. RECENTLY I read ‘ The Island’ by Ronald Lockley for about the third or fourth time, but this reading was a bit different. Last year while in the UK I paid homage to the man himself by visiting the Welsh Isles, well, with binoculars anyway, from the mainland at St Martin’s Head. The weather wasn’t conducive to boating, but the seascape and the landscape was enough to feel the spirit.

  • Planning in Cold War Europe
    RCW 2 PLANNING IN COLD WAR EUROPE WAR PLANNING IN COLD Michel Christian, Sandrine Kott, Ondrej Matejka Michel Christian, Sandrine Kott, The book opens new perspectives on the global Cold War by looking at Ondrej Matejka (Eds.) social and economic planning. Despite the rival visions of the world that they put forward, ideas and practices of planning were also at the core of a common project of modernity. Based on new archival research, the contri- butions in this volume show how social and economic knowledge circulated globally and was reinterpreted and appropriated in various national and PLANNING local contexts. IN COLD WAR THE SERIES: RETHINKING THE COLD WAR The peer-reviewed series offers books that illuminate the multifaceted history of the Cold War in both its European and Global dimensions, across EUROPE and beyond the Iron Curtain. It focuses on the interactions, interdependen- COMPETITION, COOPERATION, CIRCULATIONS cies and co-operation of Eastern state socialist countries (and their citizens) with Western capitalist, Latin American, African and non-aligned states (1950s–1970s) (and their citizens), as well as with China.
