 opportunity for immune responses to extinguish HIV -1 exists from the moment of transmission through establishment of the latent pool of HIV -I-infected cells. A critical time to study the initial immune responses to the transmitted/founder virus is the eclipse phase of HIV-1 infection (time from transmission to the first appearance of plasma virus) but, to date, this period has been logistically difficult to analyze. Studies in non-human primates challenged with chimeric simianhuman immunodeficiency virus have shown that neutralizing antibodies, when present at the time of infection, can prevent virus infection.

The History of the Foundation of the Iranian National Blood Transfusion Service in 1974 and the Biography of its Founder; Professor Fereydoun Ala.
The history of early attempts of blood transfusion in Iran traces back to the 1940s; however, around three decades later in 1974, the Iranian National Blood Transfusion Service (Sazeman-e Melli-e Enteqal-e Khun-e Iran) was founded by the outstanding hematologist, Professor Fereydoun Ala. The main goals of this centralized organization were to collect blood from healthy voluntary donors, to screen the donated blood and to provide various safe blood products based on scientific and ethical standards. In due course, a new era of blood transfusion service in Iran had begun to such a degree that after more than four decades of its activity, it is now considered the best-developed blood service in the eastern Mediterranean region. Here, a brief historical account of the early blood transfusion efforts and the establishment of the modern Iranian National Blood Transfusion Service in Iran is discussed in addition to the life and career of its founder and first director, Professor Fereydoun Ala.
Eduardo Primo YÃºfera, founder of Revista de AgroquÃ­mica y TecnologÃ­a de Alimentos and pioneer on food science and technology research in Spain.
Eduardo Primo YÃºfera was the founder and director of the Instituto de AgroquÃ­mica y TecnologÃ­a de Alimentos (IATA, 1957-1974) until he was appointed president of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃ­ficas (CSIC). His aim to publicize food science led him to create the Revista de AgroquÃ­mica y TecnologÃ­a de Alimentos in 1961, the forerunner of this journal, Food Science and Technology International, which he directed until 1977. Of his scientific output, 50% has been published in this journal. He is considered to be the promoter and exponent of Food Science and Technology and Chemical Ecology in Spain as well as the instigator of the country's innovation model (R&D and innovation). In his work, he was able to combine basic research excellence and socially relevant applied research to move both science and society forward. He was an example and inspiration to many colleagues and followers. The aim of this study is to highlight the influence and importance of Primo YÃºfera in the formation, development and consolidation of the journal Revista de AgroquÃ­mica y TecnologÃ­a de Alimentos, and to appraise his scientific contribution to this journal.
There is ample evidence that host shifts in plant-feeding insects have been instrumental in generating the enormous diversity of insects. Changes in host use can cause host-associated differentiation (HAD) among populations that may lead to reproductive isolation and eventual speciation. The importance of geography in facilitating this process remains controversial. We examined the geographic context of HAD in the wide-ranging generalist yucca moth Prodoxus decipiens. Previous work demonstrated HAD among sympatric moth populations feeding on two different Yucca species occurring on the barrier islands of North Carolina, USA. We assessed the genetic structure of P.Â decipiens across its entire geographic and host range to determine whether HAD is widespread in this generalist herbivore. Population genetic analyses of microsatellite and mtDNA sequence data across the entire range showed genetic structuring with respect to host use and geography. In particular, genetic differentiation was relatively strong between mainland populations and those on the barrier islands of North Carolina. Finer scale analyses, however, among sympatric populations using different host plant species only showed significant clustering based on host use for populations on the barrier islands. Mainland populations did not form population clusters based on host plant use. Reduced genetic diversity in the barrier island populations, especially on the derived host, suggests that founder effects may have been instrumental in facilitating HAD. In general, results suggest that the interplay of local adaptation, geography and demography can determine the tempo of HAD. We argue that future studies should include comprehensive surveys across a wide range of environmental and geographic conditions to elucidate the contribution of various processes to HAD.

Eschleman Takes Reins at OCLRE Today
Lisa Eschleman is the new executive director of the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education.

To say Lisa Eschleman is excited to become the executive director of the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education today is an understatement. She calls the new opportunity a “once in a lifetime” job.
Leading one of the country’s premiere civic education organizations feels like it was meant to be, she said. “As a volunteer since 1995, there’s nothing more professionally rewarding than to see these students in action and engaged in learning how participating in our democracy can create positive systemic change.”
OCLRE provides civic education programs to teachers and hosts mock trials and civic competitions for students with a goal of bringing citizenship to life. The Ohio Supreme Court supports OCLRE as a sponsor along with the ACLU of Ohio Foundation, the Attorney General’s Office, the Ohio State Bar Foundation and the Ohio State Bar Association.
Eschleman replaces Deborah DeHaan who served as executive director for 13 years. Her last day was Tuesday.
“It’s an honor to follow Deb,” Eschleman said. “Through her leadership, OCLRE has grown to become one of the most respected programs in the country.”
By mid-August, Eschleman will be on board full-time after completing her commitment as chair of the Environmental Review Appeals Commission. Her work for OCLRE has already begun, however, as she recorded a video message for the high school mock trial competition and judged the 4-H state finals of the middle school Project Citizen competition at the Ohio State Fair.
Previous to her leadership position with ERAC, Eschleman served as associate director for pro bono at the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation, as a senior attorney at the Capital University Law School Family Advocacy Clinic and as a partner with Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur.
Among the challenges facing OCLRE are fewer funds for their civic education programs and a lack of funds for school districts to send their students to Columbus to compete in competitions, Eschleman said. She said OCLRE’s board has charged her with exploring how to better connect with students digitally.If you are the maid of honor in someones wedding while dreaming, then such dream means that you are accepting these people love and wish them good luck in their future relationships, but only if you felt happy about it while dreaming.
