I'm under your bed waiting to grab your feet... I can sniffing your socked feet and your boots, had been longing to hold your feet in my hands... your feet must be so juicy, mmmm.... I'm going to stab on your boot soles of feet with my sharp finger nails, slowly sucking blood from your soles. I know your blood tasted so good that I'll be licking your soles till last drop of your blood, then I will enjoy open up your sweet smelling boot and start chewing you toes and other part of your feet...mmm.

Phylogenetic tree of CRAL_TRIO and BCH domains from the Sec14 superfamily.
This bootstrapped Neighbor Joining tree includes 175 BCH domains and 98 CRAL_TRIO/BCH-like domains from multiple organisms. The tree is displayed in a circular mode and different groups are marked by colored stripes. The clades with branch length <0.05 are collapsed and the number against each collapsed clade gives the number of collapsed branches. Branch lengths are ignored in order to maintain clarity. Against each branch the domain architectures of individual protein are shown as identified by the Pfam database (release 25) with a cut-off e-value ≤0.1. The Pfam database does not differentiate between CRAL_TRIO and BCH domains and thus both are indicated by yellow colored rectangles. However, if no such domain was identified by the Pfam database, we marked the annotations for BCH domains as determined by our analyses and they are indicated by an orange colored rectangle. The protein length is scaled. Eexcept when there is more than one protein from one genus (for these NCBI accessions are also given with name initials) only the generic names are given. The accession codes for remaining species/branches can be found in the Table S1. The abbreviations used are as follows; Dr: Danio rerio, Tn: Tetraodon nigroviridis, Ci: Ciona intestinalis, Dd: Dictyostelium discoideum, At: Arabidopsis thaliana, Rc: Ricinus communis, Pt: Populus trichocarpa, Gm: Glycine max, Mt: Medicago truncatula, Ps: Picea sitchensis, Zm: Zea mays, Os: Oryza sativa. This phylogenetic tree shows the distinct clustering of BCH domains from CRAL_TRIO domains. The three BCH subgroups are group I, group II and group III respectively and distinct groups within the CRAL_TRIO domain are also marked accordingly. Each cluster represents a distinct domain architecture. Pfam does not recognize the complete domain in BCH groups. The CRAL_TRIO_N domain, which is characteristically associated with CRAL_TRIO domains, is also missing in BCH and BCH-like (NF1 and RhoGEF) proteins. Similar to NF1 protein, Dictyostelium discoideum has an ancestral BCH sequence, which is associated with a RasGAP domain.

Most mainstream notably, as a chosen Founding Board Advisor: Agreed (2010 CA LC JM DO) purchase & merge 9 clubs, 22 casinos & 1700 retail books in a year, RD$4.7B+ yield $26.3+ Billion.
Teamed with vis-à-vis an independent businessperson, patrón & director (2008 US MT PL CN-TW): Strategic Digital (GRN 3.2B+ MC '20), MBA (PU '89); TROW (NASDAQ '94 '95); Mktg (AXP '96-'98) IMO: A Hejka, BA (UG) MBA (IESE) (1958-2018 PL).
Teamed with vis-à-vis an independent businessperson, patrón & patriarch (2010 CA BM): UHNWI; Ticats (CFL '74-'78); Medical Research $155M+ ('03 '14) IMO: M G DeGroote Sr OC (1933-22 CA).
Teamed with tête-à-tête an independent businessperson, patróness & matriarch (2010 CA NL-SX) IMO: A Carbone Sr (1946-2011 CA).

OPEN_SAILING
We are building a floating architecture that evolves like a living organism, a laboratory for techno-social experiments. Open_Sailing aims to design an attractive technological lifestyle to overcome any possible natural or man-made disaster, stimulating people’s ingenuity and sense of solidarity. We need to collectively invent and spread realistic bootstrapping DIY technologies for the forthcoming challenges, not only to survive but to re-invent how we inhabit the blue planet. This is not a utopian architecture model, it is an inhabitable drifting village of solid and comfortable shelters surrounded by flexible ocean farming units and energy pods; fluid, pre-broken, reconfigurable, sustainable, pluggable, organic and instinctive.
The Open_Sailing_01 with its farming equipment is about 40 m in diameter and accommodates four people. Can we reach a harmonious dynamic state of interdependence with each other and the Earth? Is this the next step for civilization? Can we disassociate our concept of progress from rigid infrastructure and the metropolis?

"The best way to predict our future is to invent it."
(Alan Kay 1971)
Open Sailing aims to design and invent future lifestyles to overcome any possible natural and manmade disasters stimulating people’s ingenuity and sense of solidarity. Might it be global warming or energy conflicts, we are living in a time where we are sniffing the ‘Apocalypse’, finally realising our human part of responsibility as the earth is crumbling. 2012 is a year when a collection of apocalyptic events are rumored to happen. We are taking 2012 as an ideal dystopic symbol we design for. 2012 is tomorrow, we must design quickly using these constraints and invent bootstrapping DIY technologies.
Open Sailing method is to convert apocalyptic threats into design constraints. From our compiled set of threat maps, we found that oceans are the safest locations. Ocean survival architecture became our new starting point, but we need to go further than surviving : how can we live together in this new fluid configuration and remain a hyper-connected intelligent social being? We are trying to make a truly “open architecture” : pre-broken, under-defined, reconfigurable, moveable, pluggable, organic, fluid. Can we reach a harmonious dynamic state of interdependence with each other and the earth? Is this the next step of civilization progress? Will we dissociate our concept of progress with infrastructure and metropolis?
NEXT STEPS IN 2009
Finding motivated knowledgeable collaborators and funders (february).
Prototyping technology equipment for ocean living, UK (march ~ april).
