Lino Manfrotto, an Italian photojournalist, began designing light stands, booms, and telescopic rods in the late 1960s. In 1972 Lino Manfrotto met Gilberto Battocchio, a technician working for a Bassano mechanical firm. In 1974, the company introduced its first tripod. The company grew, and in 1986 Manfrotto, already with 6 plants in Bassano, landed in Feltre, in the industrial zone of Villapaiera, establishing 5 plants in the space of two years. Vitec Group Plc. purchased the French company Gitzo in 1992 and the American company Bogen Photo Corp. in 1993.[2] Vitec Group Plc. chose to maintain the separate brands as separate lines in its portfolio. Manfrotto products are distributed in Germany, France, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and United States by Manfrotto Distribution. In Canada, Manfrotto products are distributed by Amplis Foto Inc.

Things have been changing a lot since I uploaded my last photo on Flickr. I moved to a whole different place with new atmosphere, new apartment, new school and new people. Time keeps passing, people grow and fall apart from each other, and somehow I have struggles finding myself and the person I wanna be. I know I do not upload my Flickr frequently like I did years ago, but please see this as a promise because I do still see the desire in myself to create more pictures, more aspects to push myself in something called creative art, I just need more time, and of course, stability :).

Genome dynamics and stability are the ne plus ultra requirements for cellular life. No matter whether life began with metabolism, with self-replicating genetic molecules, or as a cooperative chemical phenomenon, all cells and viruses maintain a genome capable of multiplication, variation and heredity. A population of living entities with these properties will evolve by natural selection, and while modern metabolism supplies the monomers from which genomes (i.e. replicators) are made, genomes alter the kinds of chemical reactions occurring in metabolism (Maynard Smith and Szathmary 1997). This book deals with DNA repair and replication. Together with two other planned volumes,one on transposable elements and genome dynamics and another on recombination and meiosis as a key issue of the metazoan germline development, this volume introduces the conceptual frame work of the series. An earlier review on the classic monograph Mobile DNA (Berg and Howe 1989) was entitled“On the Impossibility of Knowing More. ”It states:“This big book indeed tells us everything but says nothing. It provides no conceptual framework as to what the burgeoning bulk of molecular data means, not out of intent but because it is swept along by an attitude found increasingly in science of ‘never mind the quality, feel the width’ ... the book is essentially uninformative regarding the biological importance of transposable elements in ontogeny and phylogeny” (Dover 1990). The present book series tries to circumvent such criticism. Of course, there have been milder opinions of the monumental Mobile DNA book as well (Brookfield 1989; Fincham 1989). Actually, the 2002 publication of its successor Mobile DNA II (Craig et al. 2002) impressively demonstrates the swift progress int his significant research field, which now not only largely addresses questions of evolutionary relevance but pragmatically feeds additional knowledge applied in human gene therapy or helps to understand the somatic maturation of the immune system by V(D)J recombination. The latter actually demonstrates the closeness of transposable element transposition to DNA repair as the V(D)J recombination reaction is completed by the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway in lymphocyte development where the DNA double-strand break (DSB) is generated through the transposase (i.e. endonuclease) activity of an ancient transposable element. This transposon inserted into an ancestral vertebrate genome some 450 million years ago(Yuetal.1999). In line with this important interface between a vertebrate transposon and DSB repair, the second chapter of Part II of this book reports on asimilar relationship of the Drosophila P elements triggering DSBs and facilitating the understanding of the mechanisms of replication-dependent DSB repair. Other molecularly fossilized but experimentally revitalized transposable elements which promise to be o fbiomedical relevance are planned for an upcoming book volume. As Carl Woese recently said, it seems to be about time that biology makes a choice between the comfortable path of continuing to follow molecular biology’s lead or the more refreshing one seeking a new and inspiring vision of the living world (Woese 2004). To accomplish this is my goal with the book series Genome Dynamics and Stability, where this first volume is dedicated to integrative aspects of replication and DNA repair providing an overview of some facets and perspectives of genome integrity. DNA integrity is relevant for all organisms, and therefore it opens avenues of curiosity ranging from viroids in applied plant research to grasping biodiversity. This vision however must include pragmatic aspects of biomedical relevance as well. The book at hand is entitled Genome Integrity: Facets and Perspectives. It contains a rather broad spectrum of chapters representing key aspects of DNA repair with a slight bias towards DSB repair as justified by its importance. Actually, every chapter is self-sufficient and could serve as an independent entry point to the whole book. The sequence chosen starts with three chapters introducing replication as a fundamental aspect of life. Here, the first chapter gives a general introduction to replication worth to be read by undergraduate students as well as academics, while the second chapter attempts to present a concept towards an anatomy of the eukaryotic replication fork. The third chapter adds the aspect of human diseases to the two more fundamental aspects in Part I. Replication is then linked by two interface-chapters in Part II to the world of DSB repair. The second chapter of Part II first reviews the history of the discovery of the physical nature of the gene and gene mutations. Exploiting gene targeting as an experimental, technical pillar, it attempts to compose the different models of DSB repair into a unifying synthesis. This joins Part II with four key aspects of DSB repair representing Part III. These four key aspects review the structure and function of the Rad50/SMC protein complexes in chromosome biology, further focus on the simplest pathway for DSB repair, i.e. non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ), and focus on a central gatekeeper crucial to avoiding cancer development, i.e. p53, and the most complex role of chromatin in DSB repair. The chapter on DNA base damage recognition in Part IV introduces DNA repair pathways involving one-strand lesions and their pleiotropic interactions with cell physiological functions, such as cell cycle, apoptosis and examples of major human diseases. While DSBs can be triggered and their repair can be studied at precisely defined positions on nucleotide level within a given chromosome, DNA damage introduced through radiation and other genotoxic stress factors follows a slightly different research lead. This is the common theme of the four chapters in Part IV. Ion irradiation as a tool to reveal tracts of damage throughout the eukaryote nucleus reminds us of cloud or Wilson chamber experiments in atomic physics detecting elementary particles of ionizing radiation. Here, in the final chapter of Part V, the tract of damage in a cloud of chromatin is monitored using antibodies to proteins characteristic of specific DNA repair pathways, as discussed in the last chapter of Part III. The four final chapters are important for many reasons, ranging from a significance for irradiation treated cancer patients, or victims of the Chernobyl disaster to the exposure to cosmic radiation of astronauts on long-term space missions. The original idea forthis book came from the 8thmeeting of the DNA Repair Network in Ulm, Germany, and would not have been possible without the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für DNA-Reparaturforschung (DGDR). Here I would like to mention especially Jürgen Thomale, Alexander Bürkle, Lisa Wiesmüller, Bernd Kaina and Friederike Eckardt-Schupp, who supported the initial idea and acted in the background.Further I would like to thank the anonymous referees for doing a great job in peer reviewing and improving the manuscripts. I also thank the University of Heidelberg, which gave access to their electronic journal collection. Last but not least, I have to thank Sabine Schreck (Springer, Heidelberg) without whom I could never have engaged in this project. Ursula Gramm(Springer,Heidelberg) and Michael Reinfarth (LETeXGbR, Leipzig) did a fine job copye diting all manuscripts and the Springer team succeeded well in establishing the SpringerLink OnlineFirst version of this bookseries, which provides authors withmore flexibility in the individual handling of their contributions.

Syrian tycoon Rami Makhlouf warned Israel of instability if the regime of his cousin President Bashar Assad falls, vowing to "fight to the end," according to The New York Times.
"If there is no stability here, there's no way there will be stability in Israel," said Makhlouf, who is on a list of 13 Syrian figures subjected to European Union sanctions for their role in violence against protesters opposing Assad's autocratic government.
"Nobody can guarantee what will happen after, God forbids, anything happens to this regime," Makhlouf told the U.S. daily.
"What I'm saying is don't let us suffer, don't put a lot of pressure on the president, don't push Syria to do anything it is not happy to do," said Makhlouf who is a member of Assad's Alawite minority.
The regime of Assad has maintained calm along its borders despite close ties with Iran, the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Lebanon's Hizbullah.
In videos posted on YouTube by Syrian activists, protesters have called on the Syrian regime to send its troops to the Golan Heights, captured by Israel in the 1967 war and later annexed, instead of using them to attack Syrian demonstrators.
Assad's regime has been battling a pro-democracy uprising across the country since March 15. Between 600 and 700 people have been killed and at least 8,000 arrested since then, rights groups say.
However, the Syrian regime appears determined to continue to fight for its survival. "We have a lot of fighters," said Makhlouf.
"The decision of the government now is that they decided to fight," said Makhlouf, widely-despised by opponents for allegedly exploiting his relation with the president to build his commercial empire, including Syriatel, the largest mobile phone operator in the country.
"We will sit here. We call it a fight until the end."
For almost two months, near-daily protests have railed against Assad's regime, while troops and security forces have brutally repressed the uprising.
The EU is to look at fresh sanctions this week against Assad's regime, its diplomacy chief Catherine Ashton said Wednesday.

After years of political stability and economic progress, Turkey is sliding backwards in reforms and in abiding to democratic principles and the rule of law.
A serious clampdown on media and individual freedoms has started and is likely to continue beyond the general elections in June 2015.
Journalists have been arrested and the authorities are cutting back the freedom of expression and media in Turkey.
As a reaction, a recent resolution by the European Parliament reminded Turkey that a free and pluralistic press is an essential component of any democracy.
Guy Verhofstadt, President of ALDE, and Rebecca Harms, President of Greens/EFA, have invited a number of key Turkish journalists from the major media corporations to address the issue of media freedom in Turkey and the role that the EU could play in that field.
