## Justice Concludes No Evidence Of Crime In Ron Brown Death

WASHINGTON (Jan. 8) -- The Justice Department has concluded there is no evidence to support suspicions a crime was involved in the death of the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown.  Justice officials said they had consulted with the Defense Department in the past month and determined there was no reason to open an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Brown's death in a 1996 military plane crash.  The Justice Department's contacts with the Defense Department followed recent calls by prominent black leaders for a criminal investigation into allegations Brown may have died of a bullet wound.  Attorney General Janet Reno offered no details, but told reporters, "The department is not looking into the matter. If there is credible information developed that a crime has been committed, then we will pursue it immediately."  One senior official familiar with the case tells CNN there was no reason to pursue the matter further.  Brown and 34 others died when the Air Force plane in which they were traveling on a trade mission crashed into a mountainside in Croatia.  Black leaders, including the heads of the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, urged the Justice Department to look into the matter after a report surfaced that a military pathologist claimed "a wound to the secretary's head may have been caused by a gunshot."  Controversial investigative journalist Chris Ruddy produced photographs last months purportedly showing a .45 caliber bullet hole in the top of Brown's head. Ruddy quoted a medical examiner at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Lt. Col. Steve Cogswell, as saying, "The whole thing stinks," and claiming he was overruled in calling for a post-mortem investigation.  A Justice Department official said he did not know whether the department had notified Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who chairs the Black Caucus, or other black leaders of its conclusions.  Jesse Jackson, Dick Gregory and NAACP President Kweisi Mfume had also called for an investigation into the case. They found unlikely support from several staunch conservatives and foes of President Bill Clinton. Moments before the Justice Department made its comments, an organization calling itself the Clinton Investigative Commission announced it had neared its goal of collecting 100,000 signatures on petitions in support of Waters' call for a formal inquiry into Brown's death.

Abstract: | Fiber-forming proteins and peptides are being scrutinized as a promising source of building blocks for new nanomaterials. Arabinogalactan-like (AGL) proteins expressed at the symbiotic interface between plant roots and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have novel sequences, hypothesized to form polyproline II (PPII) helix structures. The functional nature of these proteins is unknown but they may form structures for the establishment and maintenance of fungal hyphae. Here we show that recombinant AGL1 (rAGL1) and recombinant AGL3 (rAGL3) are extended proteins based upon secondary structural characteristics determined by electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and can self-assemble into fibers and microtubes as observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). CD spectroscopy results of synthetic peptides based on repeat regions in AGL1, AGL2 and AGL3 suggest that the synthetic peptides contain significant amounts of extended PPII helices and that these structures are influenced by ionic strength and, at least in one case, by concentration. Point mutations of a single residue of the repeat region of AGL3 resulted in altered secondary structures. Self-assembly of these repeats was observed by means of AFM and optical microscopy. Peptide (APADGK)(6) forms structures with similar morphology to rAGL1 suggesting that these repeats are crucial for the morphology of rAGL1 fibers. These novel self-assembling sequences may find applications as precursors for bioinspired nanomaterials.

Responsible Business and Sustainable Food – A Regional and International Network Model with Linkage between Science and Business (2014) 

Terlau, Wiltrud ; Hirsch, Darya

Sustainability is a key issue in current research activities and programs. In this conjunction three major functions of research have been identified: Basic research, knowledge reservoirs, and knowledge transfer. With regard to a transmission to the private sector, knowledge transfer is the most important factor. In this process, universities of applied sciences can play an important part as they typically have a long-standing experience in linking science and business in their teaching and research. Another important agent in the process of knowledge transfer are networks and clusters. Their strength lies integrating the different competencies of its partners and using them to a mutual benefit. The International Centre for Sustainable Development (IZNE) – with a major focus on responsible business and sustainable food – takes the advantage of being part of a University of Applied Sciences (Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, BRSU), and being a member of several regional and international clusters and networks. These co-operations aim to establish and strengthen linkages between science and business, in particular by investigating research needs for business and business relevant research activities. Moreover, IZNE established and expanded regional and international co-operations of its own to get more transparency about regional and international value-added chains in the food sector and the issue of responsible business.
# Trading: Verluste lassen sich schwer aufholen

Ein Trader hat das Dilemma, entweder wenig zu riskieren und damit wenig zu gewinnen oder viel zu setzen und dabei viel zu verlieren. Fast ausnahmslos neigen die meisten Trader zum zweiten, weil ihnen das Handeln mit kleinen Einsätzen schlicht zu langweilig ist. Der Spaß ist schnell vorbei, **sobald Verluste zu beklagen sind**. Denn sobald ein Verlust zu groß geworden ist, lässt sich dieser kaum mehr wegradieren.

Die Bedeutung von Verlusten ist den meisten Tradern nicht ganz bewusst. Man handelt eben und manchmal hat man einen Gewinn und manchmal einen Verlust. Doch so einfach ist es in dieser Disziplin nicht, denn wer nicht den richtigen Zeitpunkt für das Trading nicht erwischt, der ist zur falschen Zeit im Markt und damit falsch positioniert. Dieser Trade wird mit einem Minus geschlossen.

**Ist das Minus mit einer kleinen Position zu Stande gekommen** , dann lag der Trader falsch und er kann eine neue Einstiegsgelegenheit suchen. Mehren sich die Minustrades, dann kann der Moment kommen, an dem der Trader dieses verlorene Geld zurückgewinnen will. Hier erhöht er die Anzahl seiner Scheine oder die seiner Kontrakte. Das Gleiche kann ihm passieren, wenn er die kleinen Einsätze satt hat und mehr Risiko wagen will.

Bei kleinen Einsätzen verlieren Sie nicht viel, Sie gewinnen aber auch nicht viel. Die Summe bringt den Erfolg. Der Grund ist offensichtlich, Sie wollen wenig Risiko eingehen und Ihr Tradingkonto wenig belasten, wenn der Trade nicht wie erhofft ausgeht. Damit können Sie immer wieder mal falsch liegen und dennoch bleibt Ihr Tradingkonto ohne Schaden.

Anders ist es, wenn der Trader den Einsatz erhöht. Geht ein Trade mit hohem Einsatz (die jeweilige Größe ist abhängig vom Betrachter) schief, reißt dies direkt ein Loch in die Kapitaldecke. Wenn der Trader jetzt erneut mit großem Kapitaleinsatz versucht, dieses Geld zurückzugewinnen, dann setzt er sich und sein Kapital einem zu großen Risiko aus.

Ist der Trader nach dem Verlusttrade vorsichtig geworden und handelt jetzt wieder mit kleinen Einsätzen, dann erst merkt er, wie viel Schaden er sich zugefügt hat, denn nun können auch mehrere erfolgreiche Trades den Verlust nur schwer aufholen. Das wäre gar nicht nötig gewesen.

Den meisten Tradern ist nicht bewusst, dass **der Schutz des Tradingkapitals oberste Priorität** hat. Die meisten machen sich nur Gedanken über den Profit, und wie sie ihr Kapital schnell vermehren können. Meistens klappt diese Vorgehensweise nicht, weil der Grundansatz falsch ist.

Jeder, der seinem Tradingkonto schon mal einen Schaden zugefügt hat, weiß, dass dies nur mit wenig Trades und großem Einsatz passiert ist. Nachträglich ist man selbst über den Fehler nicht erfreut, aber spätes Klagen hilft an der Börse nicht.

Gewöhnen Sie sich an, regelmäßig kleine Einsätze zu setzen. Passen Sie auch auf, in der Wut über einen Verlustrade, die Einsätze nicht hochzufahren. Das geht fast immer schief. Letztendlich erleiden Sie den daraus resultierenden Schaden nur selbst. Lassen Sie es nicht soweit kommen.

Reviewed and endorsed by Guillaume Laforge and Dierk Koenig of Groovy, _The Definitive Guide to Grails_ by Grails lead **Graeme Rocher** is for anyone looking for a more agile approach to web development with a dynamic scripting language such as Groovy. It will show you the new direction web frameworks are taking and specifically how a dynamic scripting language like Groovy can be harnessed on the JavaTM platform for productive Grails development.

This book takes you through the Grails development life cycle, including its project infrastructure, screen generation, full automatic object mapping to relational database systems, and a flexible, easy-to-use web layer. This book also demonstrates how Grails complements Java web development. Topics include creating domain classes in the Java platform while still accessing advanced features like dynamic persistent methods, using Grails controllers to call business logic written in the Java specification, and testing your Java application logic using Grails test cases.

  * The author tackles new issues like writing web applications with dynamic languages, an agile approach, Ajax, and more. 
  * The Java platform has always been about choice, and this book demonstrates how you can use select aspects of Grails that you choose. 
  * The book makes up for the current lack of solid Groovy documentation.

## digitalmars.D.learn - Thread synchronization context

mireczech <mireczech11 gmail.com> writes
    
    
    Hello everyone,
    
    Recently, a few days ago I discovered dlang and I really like it. 
    It's a programming language which meets to my idea of what a 
    modern programming language should look like. I decided to do one 
    project in it.
    
    Now I am addressing one problem. I have two threads, one main and 
    the other for a communication. How can I call a method from a 
    communication thread in the context of the main thread? Something 
    
    
    An example:
    
    alias PacketEventHandler = synchronized void delegate (Object 
    sender, PacketEventArg e);
    
    public class TcpClient : Thread
    {
    	public this()
    	{
    		_socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.INET,  SocketType.STREAM);
                     _socket.blocking = false;
    		PacketReceived = &client_packetReceived;
    		super(&Execute);
    
    	}
    	protected void Execute()
    	{
    		_socket.connect(new InternetAddress(_address, _port));
    		while (!_terminated)
    		{
                             _socket.send(dataToSend);
    			ubyte[] receivedBuffer = new ubyte[_packetSize];
    			auto received = _socket.receive(receivedBuffer)
                             if (PacketReceived !is null) 
    PacketReceived(this, new PacketEventArg(receivedBuffer));//that 
    delegate I would like to call from the context of main thread
    
                     }
             }
    
             public PacketEventHandler PacketReceived;
    
    	void client_packetReceived(Object sender, PacketEventArg e)
    	{
    	      writeln("received byte0: ", e.dataPacket[0]);	
    	}
    }
    
    Thank you for any answers

### British foreign secretary: West will not be bullied by Putin

  * The West will not be bullied by Russian President Vladimir Putin's threat of all-out war with NATO if Ukraine is given permission to use Western weapons to strike inside Russia, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said. 



**London, 15 September 2024 (PA Media/dpa/MIA)** \- The West will not be bullied by Russian President Vladimir Putin's threat of all-out war with NATO if Ukraine is given permission to use Western weapons to strike inside Russia, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said.

Lammy said talks were continuing with the United States and allies about giving Kyiv permission to use UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles to hit Russian airbases and military sites which are being used to launch attacks on Ukraine.

The foreign secretary has been part of intensive UK-US diplomatic talks in Kyiv and Washington in the past week which have so far failed to produce a decision.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly pressed Western leaders for permission to use the weapons they have supplied to hit sites within Russia.

Putin has warned that allowing long-range strikes "would mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries are at war with Russia."

But Lammy told Sky News broadcaster: "Putin said 'don't send tanks'. We sent them.

"Putin said 'don't send any missiles'. We sent them.

"Putin threatens every few months to use nuclear weapons.

"What he should now do is cease his aggression and leave Ukraine."

Lammy said there was "a lot of bluster" from Putin but "we cannot be blown off course by an imperialist fascist" who "wants to move into countries willy-nilly."

On the BBC broadcaster, he said talks would continue with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, US President Joe Biden and Zelensky at the United Nations in New York later this month.

Zelensky posted a fresh plea for aid on social media site X on Sunday: "This week, the Russians have launched around 30 missiles of various types, more than 800 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 300 strike drones against Ukraine.

"Ukraine needs strong support from our partners to defend lives against Russian terror-air defense, long-range capabilities, support for our warriors. Everything that will help force Russia to end this war.

"I thank everyone around the world who understands this and our partners who help and support us."

A British military intelligence update suggested Russia was continuing a "high tempo of offensive operations in multiple areas of the frontline" in the conflict.

A counter-offensive has been launched by airborne and naval infantry units in Kursk, the area of Russia invaded by Ukrainian forces, and they have "highly likely retaken several villages".

In eastern Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence intelligence update said Putin's troops were making "gradual advances" around Vuhledar and to the southeast of the important logistics hub Pokrovsk.
