How Businesses Can Leverage Jumia’s Ecosystem Model to Drive Business Growth
Organisations are not established for charity purposes. Over time, they must grow and become profitable. As such, businesses are always searching for ways to boom. One of such ways that some organisations are yet to explore is the ecosystem model. Jumia, Africa’s only e-commerce unicorn has proven over the years that the ecosystem model works.
Jumia started out as an ecommerce startup where you can only order for household items. Presently, the business has gone beyond buying household items. Shoppers can now book hotels & flights, order food and even pay for their orders within the Jumia ecosystem. In fact, it has gotten to the extent there is now Jumia One where you can get almost every service you desire from paying for your subscription to recharging your phone and even reading the news. It is all about keeping the customers within the ecosystem.
Companies in the ecommerce sector that are not looking at adopting this model are either being sold off or liquidated. This said we shall discuss some of the ways the ecosystem model can boost business growth.
Higher chances of attracting investments
Investors are interested in companies that have a solid lifespan. So, when it comes to attracting investment from investors, it has a higher chance of attracting them. Importantly, not just any kind of investor but one that is ready to strive and dive with the business to ensure that it grows and become profitable.
Reduce costs
One of the ways to reduce cost is by adopting the ecosystem model. This is because when processes are efficient, they take less time to execute, can have fewer steps, and can make wasteful activities more obvious and therefore easier to eliminate. So, if you are offering products in different verticals, you will try as much as possible to guarantee quality and efficiency by preventing wastages and ensuring that the right numbers of people are doing the job.
Effective processes on the revenue side of the business drive sales success and improve pricing accuracy and product development. Structured processes mean you can measure and understand what customers want and create a consistently excellent customer experience that the salespeople can use to sell and retain customers. This allows sales managers to actively manage the sales process without clashing with other verticals, improve sell-through rates and control pricing and discounts.
The risk of running a business ecosystem is reasonably low as long as you have the right people running the different verticals. Simply, ensure that there is a clear line of reporting as well as check and balance. Since rigorous processes make it easier to identify root causes, they reduce the risk of issues existing in your operations for very long.
Make the business easier to manage
Over time, an ecosystem model will become very easy to manage. This is because processes can now be measured and this means that you can put those processes into systems, measure them and know their outputs without needing to directly observe them. This means that good processes allow executives and managers to manage the business without needing to be involved with every operational detail. | {

Singers Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got into a very public scuffle on Friday, September 7 at New York Fashion Week party that left Cardi with a huge mark on her forehead.
While talking to show guest Funk Flex, Minaj said that the altercation was "mortifying and humiliating", especially given the setting and the "upper echelon people" at the event. Cardi's statement suggested Nicki said something out of pocket about Cardi's daughter, Kulture, but the Queen rapper vehemently denied bringing the baby up.
Minaj has yet to respond to the incident, but the star could address the controversy tomorrow, when she appears on Beats 1 Radio's Queen Radio.
"When you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f.in off! [It's] so sad for someone to pin that on somebody", Minaj said. I never had to fuck a DJ to play my fucking songs. "I was wearing a Gautier gown off the mother f***in' runway and I could not believe how humiliated it all felt".
Cardi reportedly ran up on Nicki at the annual Harper's Bazaar ICONS party and threw a shoe in her direction.
CHARLES SYKES AP
Cardi B had a visible bump on her forehead as she left the party
Cardi B's post received over 3.2 million likes and more than 301,000 comments since it was posted, so it's safe to say that Cardi's supporters are on her side. Minaj then noted that she can not speak further on the specifics of the fight for "legal reasons", suggesting action may be taken.
Just in case listeners didn't connect "Hard White" to the Cardi B altercation, Minaj added the hashtag #NYFW to her post.
"You came into my f**kin' culture". The back of her dress was also torn. "And left looking the way you left looking so that people could point their fingers at our culture and our community and laugh at us some more?" Let me tell you what won't change, who he is, and his actions.
"You calling black women roaches, you getting girls beat up because of what your man doing", she added. "Real bitches never do that". "You just had the biggest blessing of your life with a child, and in two weeks, you have attacked three women". "I ain't ever have to strip to get the pole position".

Complement receptors of rat macrophages.
Some species, including rabbits, guinea pigs, and humans, have complement receptors on resident alveolar macrophages, whereas Swiss mice lack detectable receptors on these macrophages. Using complement-coated sheep erythrocytes or bacteria, we were unable to detect complement receptors (CR1, CR2, or CR3) on resident alveolar macrophages of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Nonelicited peritoneal macrophages from Sprague-Dawley rats had CR1 and CR3 receptors and were able to bind bacteria opsonized with complement. Resident alveolar macrophages of Long-Evans and Fisher rats lacked detectable complement receptors, but CR1 and CR3 receptors were detected on the alveolar macrophages of Lewis-Wistar rats. The reason for the lack of complement receptors on murine macrophages is not known, but studies of this phenomenon may prove useful in elucidating the role of macrophage complement receptors in the pulmonary inflammatory response. | {

Hi Debbie:
Thanks for your note - it's always nice to hear from MC friends!
I'm living in Houston and working in the legal department of a large energy
company (Enron). I have two main areas of focus: derivatives trading (swaps,
options, etc.) which I've been doing for over 6 years now and e-commerce
which is relatively new. The most fun work project I've had was being the
lead lawyer in designing and launching our internet commodity trading
platform about a year ago. It has been tremendously successful. While few
people have ever heard of it, it is the largest (by dollar volume) website in
the world!
I keep in touch with Mark Kopinski who is managing a couple of international
mutual funds in New York. My work takes me there several times a year and I
usually try to see him if I have some free time. The college is thinking
about another capital campaign and he and I were on a preliminary planning
committee (to see if a campaign makes sense). Ralph V. was there - whom I
hadn't seen in years! - and of course I keep in touch with Doc, too. I was
on campus for my 20th reunion a couple of years ago. There were only 2 of us
from '78 so it wasn't as much fun as I'd hoped but it was still good to see
familiar faculty faces. With luck the 25th will draw a bigger crowd.
My Midwest geography isn't what it once was but it sounds like you've got a
terrible commute. I hope you're liking your work to justify the drive. I
rarely make it back to Chicago but let's keep in touch and definitely let me
know if you ever make it down this way.

Electric vehicles have improved to the point where they’re a viable option for everyday use. But what about motorsports? Bill Nye is arguing it’s time for NASCAR to go all-electric. And he might be right.
Nye, in an op-ed, argues that NASCAR is celebrating outmoded technology. He wants NASCAR to be more like NASA, offering prizes to improve driving technology and squeeze more oomph out of each electron. And, truthfully, if you’re a racing fan, Nye’s idea would make the races a lot more exciting; strategies would change completely, pit stops would be less likely to derail a lead, and you’d see better, faster, tighter driving.
And there are electric supercars out there that crush NASCAR performance. The Rimac Concept One, for example, is used as a race director’s car at Formula E events and offers 1088 horsepower, compared to 830 hp to 840 hp on a standard NASCAR engine, and 12,000-pound feet of torque compared to 520-pound feet for NASCAR. If that weren’t enough, consumer electric cars like the Tesla can go from 0 to 60 in less than three seconds. Nye also correctly points out that consumer vehicles are necessarily freighted down with stuff NASCAR techs would yank out, taking a lot of weight out of the car and improving performance.
That said, Nye’s big problem here is less technological than cultural. NASCAR as an entity clings to old technology for fear of cheating. It didn’t get rid of carburetors until 2012, more than 20 years after consumer cars had dumped the outmoded tech. NASCAR still uses manual transmissions and rear-wheel drive, well after those have fallen out of fashion.
The irony is this makes the cars anything but “stock,” and doesn’t even discourage cheating. Just read a few stories about how the legendary Smokey Yunick ran rings around NASCAR’s regulations. Smokey remains an inspiration for NASCAR mechanics everywhere, especially when dealing with the rules.
Nye is right: Electric vehicles would make the races more exciting, and push NASCAR to the forefront of car technology. The problem, of course, is the forefront of car technology is not where NASCAR wants to be just yet.

Q:
Oracle DB expdp and impdp issue
I have created many interlinked tables as user "SCOTT" in oracle DB.
I want to copy these tables plus their data to new user "PRODUCTION"
For exporting data from "SCOTT", i used :
./expdp scott schemas=SCOTT directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=SCOTT.dmp logfile=expdpSCOTT.log CONTENT=ALL
Now for importing it, when i am using command :
./impdp PRODUCTION directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=SCOTT.dmp logfile=impdpSCOTT.log CONTENT=ALL
, no table is getting created in PRODUCTION.
The output of above command (impdb) is "Job "PRODUCTION"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01" successfully completed'.
Please help me to solve issue.
Thanks
A:
You need to add paraneter REMAP_SCHEMA=SCOTT:PRODUCTION. See the impdb documentation. Without it, there is nothing in the export that is relevant to your production user.

Benjamin Hills, Wichita, Kansas
Benjamin Hills is a neighborhood in Wichita, Kansas, United States. A mixed commercial and residential area, it lies on the north bank of the Arkansas River in the northwestern part of the city.
History
In 1908, former Wichita mayor and prominent banker Ben McLean purchased northwest of the city for farming. Upon his death in 1929, the farm was parceled out among his heirs, including his son Drew and daughter-in-law Elizabeth Mabry-McLean. Wichita annexed the farm in 1950, and Elizabeth platted her and her husband’s portion for development as a residential neighborhood. A graduate of the National Academy of Design, she oversaw the landscaping, street layout, and housing design of the development. The neighborhood was named Benjamin Hills in honor of her son, Ben McLean II, who had been killed in action at the Battle of the Bulge. In 1956, Elizabeth donated the land for McLean Elementary School and had the McLean House, a pink marble ranch-style house of her own design, built in Benjamin Hills on North McLean Boulevard. Elizabeth continued to oversee development of the neighborhood following her husband’s death in 1965 and lived in the McLean House until her death in 2000.

Thailand's military-backed party was on Sunday night headed for an unexpected win over a populist party leading a “democratic front” in the country's first election since a 2014 coup.
Early partial results announced by the Southeast Asian nation’s election commission after it had counted 89 percent of votes put Phalang Pracharat, led by military junta chief Prayuth Chan-o-cha, in the lead with 7 million votes. The main opposition party, Pheu Thai, had 6.6 million.
However, in another surprise twist, Ittiporn Boonprakong, the commission chairman, said the full unofficial results would only be declared on Monday morning, without giving any reason for the delay.
Polling day saw a high turnout among Thailand’s 51.2 million eligible voters who were determined to cast their ballots after five years of military rule under a junta led by General Prayuth.
The close result reflects the deep divisions that remain between supporters of the pro-monarchy junta and those who back Pheu Thai and other parties aligned with Thaksin Shinawatra, the billionaire former prime minister currently living in exile. | {

The present invention relates to a new and improved string support assembly for use with a guitar or a similar stringed instrument to position strings relative to the instrument and to a method by which the string support assembly is formed.
Stringed musical instruments of the guitar type commonly have a body portion, a neck portion which extends outwardly from the body portion, and a head portion connected with an end of the neck portion opposite from the body portion. A plurality of tuning devices are mounted on the head portion and are operable to adjust the tension in strings which extend from the head portion along the neck portion to the body portion of the instrument. A nut or string support system is provided adjacent to a connection between the head and neck portions of the instrument. The nut positions the strings relative to the neck portion of the instrument.
The manner in which the nut cooperates with the strings is very important in obtaining the desired tone from the instrument. Thus, the nut must be accurately located to determine the effective length of the strings. The nut must hold the strings against sidewise movement in order to avoid a buzzing sound effect. During the operation of a tremolo, the nut should allow the tension in the strings to be varied in a predictable manner. The nut should be constructed in such a manner as to enable a uniform spacing to be obtained between each of the strings and the frets on the neck of the guitar.
In the past, the nut has included a straight piece of material in which slots are formed. Substantial care and effort is required to form the slots in the nut with a width which corresponds exactly to the diameter of the strings to prevent sidewise movement of the strings. In addition, the orientation of the slots must be carefully and accurately determined to have the strings go straight back from a front edge of the nut to the tuning devices on the head portion of the guitar. In addition, substantial effort must be expended to form the slots with a depth which will result in each of the strings being spaced the same distance from an arcuate upper side surface on each of the frets on the neck of the guitar. Unfortunately, after the guitar is used over a period of time, the nut wears and must be replaced. | {

Q:
Formatting date and start countdown in jquery?
I created this code to format these dates. That I have an datetime like this:
First case:
<time class="fDate" data-timetype="day" datetime="2015-02-18">
Second case:
<time class="sCountdown" data-timetype="countdown" datetime="2015-02-17 19:00:00"></time>
The code that I have, I have checked my console and returns me the dates in this format Wed February 18, 2015 in the first case. And I want the date in this format Wednesday 18th February 2015 and the second case I want like this: 22 hours & 24 minutes
I want to do is a countdown to do this:
For ES delivery on Thursday 19th February 2015, complete this order in
the next 22 hours & 21 minutes, and choose Next Day Delivery at
checkout.
And I'm blocked in my code to do this.
CODE IN PLUNKER
A:
You can try this snippet:
$(function (){
"use strict";
// Save finish date for free delivery
var firstNode = $('.fDate');
var firstDate = getDate(firstNode);
firstNode.replaceWith(firstDate.toDateString());
// Save start day for run the countdown
var cdNode = $('.sCountdown');
var cdDate = getDate(cdNode);
var diff = (cdDate.getTime()-new Date().getTime())/1000;
var hours = parseInt( diff / 3600 ) % 24;
var minutes = parseInt( diff / 60 ) % 60;
var seconds = diff % 60;
cdNode.replaceWith(hours+' hours & '+minutes+' minutes');
});
function getDate(node){
return new Date(Date.parse(node.attr('datetime')));

The UK payments regulator is being urged to intervene in the row over changes to the Link network that has led to fears that parts of the UK could become “ATM deserts”.
Nicky Morgan, the Conservative MP and chair of the Treasury select committee, has told the Payment System Regulator (PSR) that it is responsible for ensuring that the needs of consumers are not jeopardised by the proposals to cut the fee that card issuers pay to machine operators when customers use their cards.
She has also warned the members of the Link network – the banks, building societies and independent suppliers of machines – that they would be forced to appear before MPs if the committee “considers there to be a risk of unacceptable consumer detriment”.

Link has proposed a 5p cut, down to 20p, in the so-called interchange fee that ATM providers receive, via incremental steps over the next four years. The move has led to warnings that up to 10,000 free-to-use cash machines – out of 55,0000 – could be at risk.
Morgan said: “The relevant parties – Link, the banks, and the ATM deployers – must engage constructively in the consultation. If they don’t, or if consumer access to cash is at risk, the PSR should not hesitate to take appropriate action.”
“As bank closures increase, so too does the reliance on free-to-use ATMs. The ability of consumers to access cash must not suffer.”
Sir Mark Boleat, chairman of Link, said decisions were being made by the independent members of the board – not the industry representatives – and that the geographic spread of ATMs should not change.
“The Link board’s intention is to set the level of interchange at a level that will retain an extensive network of free ATMs for consumers, particularly in rural and deprived areas, whilst avoiding the growth in ATM numbers that has occurred over recent years,” he said.
The PSR said it was monitoring the situation. “Link’s consultation on its proposals has now closed and we have been clear that we expect it to consider the impact on consumers when forming its decision.
“If we consider that any decision Link makes is not in the interests of consumers, and is therefore inconsistent with our statutory objectives, we will take regulatory action as necessary.”

Simon Chemoiywo
Simon Chemoiywo (born 20 April 1968) is a Kenyan former long-distance runner. He competed in track, cross country and road running. At the IAAF World Cross Country Championships he twice represented Kenya: in 1994 he was the runner-up and team champion, then helped retain the team title for Kenya at the 1995 race.
He was the African champion in the 5000 metres in 1993 in a championship record and was a silver medallist at the same event three years later. He was a one-time Kenyan champion in the 5000 m, in 1994, and competed for Kenya in that event at the 1995 World Championships in Athletics. He holds personal bests of 13:07.57 minutes for the 5000 m and 27:25.82 minutes for the 10,000 metres.
In road events he was twice winner of both the Saint Silvester Road Race and Vancouver Sun Run. He made his marathon debut in 1998 and set his best of 2:10:35 hrs while winning the Prague Marathon.
Career
Chemoiywo began to enter the elite senior ranks of distance running in the early 1990s: he ran a best of 13:18.95 minutes for the 5000 metres in 1992, which placed him near the top 30 for the discipline that year. He won over that distance at the Palio Citta della Quercia that same year. He began to prove himself in cross country running after the end of that track season, winning the Cross Du Figaro in December and the Antrim International Cross Country the following January. He had similar achievements on the roads at the same time: crossing the Atlantic, he won the Sallie Mae 10K in the United States and came out on top at the high level Saint Silvester Road Race.
He established himself among the top international runners with a win over 5000 m in Durban at the 1993 African Championships in Athletics, beating Haile Gebrselassie who went on to become world champion later that year. His winning time of 13:09.68 minutes was a championship record, and also the fastest time ever run for the distance in South Africa. He returned to the roads in South America at the end of the year, retaining his title at the Saint Silvester race and also winning at the Corrida San Fernando 10K.
Chemoiywo gained his first international selection on grass for the 1994 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. At the race in Budapest he led with team mate William Sigei and narrowly finished as runner-up, one second behind. He beat Haile Gebrselassie once again, as the Ethiopian was third. Chemoiywo shared the team gold medal with Sigei as well as his individual silver medal. On the track he set a 5000 m personal best of 13:07.58 minutes at the London Grand Prix (placing third), was seventh at the Bislett Games, then improved his best by one hundredth to win at the Herculis meet. This ranked him in the top ten runners for the distance that year. He was entered into the 1994 IAAF Grand Prix Final but managed only eleventh place. That year he had his first and only career victory at the Kenyan Athletics Championships, winning the 5000 m.
The 1995 IAAF World Cross Country Championships brought him a consecutive team gold medal with Kenya, although he was lower ranked in the individual race, ending in eighth place. Turning to the track, he ran a 10,000 metres best of 27:25.82 minutes to win at the Sea Ray Relays and rank in the top ten for the discipline that season. While in the United States, he also won the Times Colonist Garden City 10K in a course record of 28:47 minutes. Another personal best came at the Grande Premio Brasil Caixa de Atletismo, where he won the 3000 metres in a meet record of 7:43.15 minutes. A run of 13:16.38 minutes for fourth at the Athletissima was enough to secure selection for Kenya at the 1995 World Championships in Athletics. He was the worst performing of the Kenyan 5000 m team as he failed to progress beyond the heats while Ismael Kirui won the title and Shem Kororia took bronze.
The highlight of the 1996 season for Chemoiywo was a silver medal in the 5000 m at the 1996 African Championships in Athletics. He failed to defend his title by the smallest of margins, losing to fellow Kenyan Paul Koech with both registering the same time of 13:35.13 minutes. On the European circuit that year he set three career bests: 5:04.9 minutes for the 2000 metres, 7:42.40 minutes for the 3000 m and 8:28.91 minutes for the two miles.
In the late 1990s he focused on road running events. His debut over the marathon distance came at the end of the 1998 season, when he ran at the New York City Marathon and placed seventh with a time of 2:11:08 hours. He had his second career win at the Vancouver Sun Run. He was the winner at the 2000 Prague Marathon, improving his personal best time to 2:10:35. This was his only marathon win. In his last competitive year his marathon performances declined, as he was twelfth at the Prague Marathon and seventh at the Honolulu Marathon in December with slow time of 2:24:57 hours.
He was enrolled with the Kenyan Air Force during his late running career.

Book fair establishes record as exports rise
Updated: 2014-09-02 07:37
By Sun Ye(China Daily)
A record of more than 2,100 publishers from 78 countries and regions gathered in Beijing for this year's Beijing International Book Fair, according to a senior official.
The five-day fair, which concluded on Sunday, also witnessed 4,346 copyright deals, a year-on-year increase of almost 20 percent. The number of export copyright deals jumped by 24 percent.
The annual fair, now in its 21st year, showcased 300,000 items. It also attracted 200,000 visitors, mostly local residents.
"BIBF has grown against the general downturn in the industry," said Zhang Fuhai, director of the international exchange and cooperation department of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. "The number of participants here now outnumbers that of the London Book Fair."
"The steady growth of BIBF has a lot to do with the ever-expanding Chinese market," he said at a news briefing on Monday.
"For a long time, foreign publishers came to China because they wanted to get in the country."
But that has changed as Chinese exports come into the limelight, he said.
According to the administration, China's Paths from the China Publishing Group, Why Is China Successful? from the China International Publishing Group, and other books that reflect the country's recent growth, changes and mentality, were among the most popular at this year's event.
The number of export deals signed at BIBF outstripped import deals.
The exports now head to countries in addition to China's Asian neighbors. They are available in more languages, too, according to the administration.
The book fair owes its success in part to the "going-out" project, in which items are introduced overseas with national support.
The going-out aspect of the publishing business exceeded 23 million items and more than $104 million in exports last year, according to administration statistics.

Daryl Davis, 59, is a musician has sought out KKK members to talk to about race. He uses the robe and hood for talks he gives. (Matt McClain/The Washington Post)
Daryl Davis, author of “Klan-Destine Relationships,” and subject of the documentary “Accidental Courtesy,” is an award-winning musician, actor, lecturer and race relations expert.
One night in 1983, I found myself playing in a country band at a truck stop lounge. I was the only black person in the joint. Taking a break after the first set of music, I was headed to sit at a table with my bandmates when a white gentleman approached from behind and put his arm around my shoulders. "I really enjoy y'all's music," he said. I shook his hand and thanked him. "This is the first time I ever heard a black man play piano like Jerry Lee Lewis," he continued.
I told him that Lewis was a friend of mine and that he had learned his style from watching and listening to black blues and boogie-woogie pianists. My new fan didn't buy it, but he did want to buy me a drink. While we sipped, he clinked my glass and said, "This is the first time I ever sat down and had a drink with a black man."
Why? "I'm a member of the Ku Klux Klan," he said. I burst out laughing. Then he handed me his KKK membership card, and I recognized the Klan's symbols. In that moment, I was overcome by a question: How could anybody hate me when they didn't even know me?
I was no stranger to racism. Having grown up a black person in the '60s and '70s, I knew that prejudice was common. But I had never understood why. Sitting in that lounge with my new friend, I decided to figure it out in the only way that made sense: By getting to know those who felt hostility toward black people without ever having known any.
[I’m black. Robert E. Lee is my relative. It’s time for his statues to come down.]
Several years later, I recruited that man, whose name was Frank James, to put me in contact with the grand dragon of the Maryland Klan. He tried to deter me, warning that the leader would kill me. But eventually, after I promised not to reveal how I'd gotten the grand dragon's contact information, James gave it to me. (I reveal it now, because James has since died.)
By then, I had decided to travel around the country and interview KKK leaders and members from various chapters and factions to get the answer to my question: How can you hate someone you've never met? I was planning to write a book detailing my interviews, experiences and encounters with these Ku Klux Klan members. (The book, "Klan-Destine Relationships," was published in 1998.)
I had my white secretary, who typically booked my band and assisted me with my music business, set up a meeting with the Maryland grand dragon, Roger Kelly, explaining that her boss was writing a book on the Klan and would like his input. Per my instructions, she did not reveal the color of my skin.
Kelly agreed to participate, and we secured a room at a Frederick, Md., motel, where my secretary filled an ice bucket with cans of soda so I could offer my guest a drink. Regardless of how and what he felt about me, if he entered my room after seeing the color of my skin, I was going to treat him with hospitality.
[Charlottesville has always been home to racism and racist violence.]
Punctual to the minute, there was a knock on the door. The grand nighthawk (the grand dragon's bodyguard) entered first, and then the dragon himself. "Hello," I began, "I'm Daryl Davis." I offered my palm, and Kelly shook my hand as he and the nighthawk introduced themselves. He sat in the chair I had set out, and the nighthawk stood at attention beside him.
We were both apprehensive of the other, and the interview started haltingly. We discussed what he had hoped to achieve by joining the Klan; what his thoughts were on blacks, Asians, Jews and Hispanics; and whether he thought it would ever be possible for different races to get along. A little while later, we heard an inexplicable crackling noise and we both tensed. The dragon and I stared each other in the eye, silently asking, "What did you just do?" The nighthawk reached for his gun. Nobody spoke. I barely breathed.
Seated atop the dresser, my secretary realized what had happened: The ice in the bucket had started to melt, causing the soda cans to shift. It happened again, and we all began laughing. From there, the interview went on without a hitch.
[“I’m a white foster parent seeing racism through my black and brown children’s eyes”]
It was a perfect illustration that ignorance breeds fear and possibly violence. An unknown noise in an ice bucket could've led to gunfire, had we not taken a moment to understand what we were encountering.
Even though Kelly had told me he knew that white people were superior to blacks, our dialogue continued over the years. He would visit me in my home, and I would eventually be a guest in his. We would share many meals together, even though he thought I was inferior. Within a couple of years, he rose to the rank of imperial wizard, the top national leadership position in the Klan.
Over the past 30 years, I have come to know hundreds of white supremacists, from KKK members, neo-Nazis and white nationalists to those who call themselves alt-right. Some were good people with wrong beliefs, and others were bad people hellbent on violence and the destruction of those who were non-Aryan.
There was Bob White, a grand dragon for Maryland who served four years in prison for conspiring to bomb a synagogue in Baltimore, where he had been a police officer. When he got out, he returned to the Klan and later went back to prison for three more years for assaulting two black men with a shotgun, evidently intent on murder. But after I reached out to him with a letter while he was in prison for the second time, Bob became a very good friend, renounced the Klan and attended my wedding.
Frank Ancona, who headed a Missouri Klan chapter, would also become a very close friend. When Ancona was killed this year (his wife and stepson have been charged with his murder), one of his Klan members, knowing how close we had been, called me and told me before notifying the police. I accepted the Klan's invitation to participate in his funeral service.
[What do black Americans have to lose? Under Trump, plenty.]
Three weeks after this summer's violent clash in Charlottesville, I was invited by the leaders of the Tennessee and Kentucky chapters of Ancona's branch of the Klan to speak at their national Konvocation. I accepted, spoke and took audience questions after the lecture. Whether or not anyone there immediately changed their minds, we talked as people — and we all benefitted from that.
I am not so naive as to think everyone will change. There are certainly those who will go to their graves as hateful, violent racists. I never set out certain that I would convert anyone. I just wanted to have a conversation and ask, "How can you hate me when you don't even know me?" What I've learned is that whether or not I've changed minds, talking can still relieve tensions. I've seen firsthand that when two enemies are talking, they are not fighting. They may be yelling and beating their fists on the table, but at least they are talking. Violence happens only when talking has stopped.
And sometimes, people do change. One day in 1999, after having been in the Ku Klux Klan for about 20 years, Kelly, who had risen from grand dragon to imperial wizard, called me, said he was leaving the Klan and apologized for having been a member. He told me he could no longer hate people. I had not turned out to be what he had always thought of black people. He went on to become one of my best friends, and today I own his robe and hood — one set of many in my collection of garments donated to me by apostate Klansmen and Klanswomen, which is always growing.

Legal and medical aspects of body dysmorphic disorder.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a preoccupation with an imagined defect in physical appearance has a rich clinical history, but officially appeared with diagnostic criteria only in the DSM-III-R classification system. Prevalence of BDD in plastic and cosmetic dermatology ranges between 7-15% due to the obsession with imagined imperfections. The emotional "defect" causes dissatisfaction with nonpsychiatric medical procedures, and often recourse into legal action. We present a case study of BDD developing after cosmetic surgery and debate whether this is an actual possibility and the legal consequences of this possibility. We question whether surgery was a traumatic event and its relationship to the patient's premorbid "eggshell personality". The difficulty in determining causation of psychiatric disorders for the purpose of deciding issues of compensation is discussed. A practical algorithm is offered in order to avoid litigation and to maintain the legitimate medical ideal of "first do no harm". | {

Modulatory effect of diphenyl diselenide in Carioca High- and Low-conditioned Freezing rats.
Diphenyl diselenide ([PhSe]2)is an organoselenium compound that has interesting pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, glutathione peroxidase-mimetic, and neuroprotective effects. The objective of the present study was to investigate the possible modulatory effect of (PhSe)2 in 17th-generation Carioca high-and low-conditioned freezing (CHF and CLF) rats, an animal model of generalized anxiety disorders. (PhSe)2 was administered at three doses (10, 50, and 100mg/kg) in CHF and CLF rats, and their anxiety-like profiles (conditioned freezing patterns) were measured before and 30min after treatment. A significant difference was found in freezing scores between CHF and CLF animals before treatment (t70=12.50, p<0.001). Treatment with (PhSe)2 at 10 and 50mg/kg decreased freezing in CHF rats but significantly increased freezing at 100mg/kg. (PhSe)2 increased freezing in CLF animals at 50 and 100mg/kg (p<0.01). These results indicate that (PhSe)2 exerts both anxiolytic- and anxiogenic-like effects in bi-directional rat lines. Distinct genetic profiles of the CHF and CLF lines may influence biochemical functions and lead to differential responses to aversive situations and various drugs like (PhSe)2. | {

The reliability of lymphoma diagnosis in small tissue samples is heavily influenced by lymphoma subtype.
A specific pathologic diagnosis is important in malignant lymphoma because the diverse disease subtypes require tailored approaches to clinical management. Reliance on small samples obtained with cutting needles has been advocated as a less invasive alternative to using larger, excised samples. Although published studies have demonstrated the safety and apparent sufficiency of this approach in informing clinical care, none have systematically determined the accuracy of pathologic lymphoma subtyping based on very small samples. We used a tissue microarray representing 67 cases of malignant lymphoma and 17 samples of nonneoplastic lymphoid tissue to model lymphoma diagnosis in small samples. Overall, 73.8% of the cases were diagnosed with a level of confidence deemed sufficient for directing clinical management; 85.9% of these diagnoses were accurate. Small cell lymphomas with highly distinctive immunophenotypes, including small lymphocytic, mantle cell, and T-lymphoblastic lymphoma, were recognized most consistently and accurately in the small samples. In contrast, follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma were especially difficult. Our results indicate that the reliability of lymphoma diagnoses based on small samples is heavily influenced by lymphoma subtype. | {

Fallout 4 Gets Real Pip-Boy and Fallout 3 Included
There is a lot of hubbub following the recent announcement for “Fallout 4” and rightfully so. The highly anticipated game has been on the minds of fans for years and years. Then this week, Bethesda gave us the official release date as well as tons of other news that has grasped the attention of everyone at E3.
Bethesda revealed that “Fallout 4” will arrive on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 10, 2015. It’s available for pre-order now on Amazon. They also revealed the amazing special collector’s edition which comes with a real life Pip-Boy – this one of the few collector’s editions I would ever recommend buying. The Pip-Boy is basically a case that fits a smart phone that is combined with a special Fallout 4 app giving players the Pip-Boy experience. It’s currently listed on Amazon in the US for USD $120.
It was also announced during E3 that copies of “Fallout 4” for the Xbox One will include a copy of “Fallout 3.” However, it is currently not clear whether “Fallout 3” will be remastered for the Xbox One or if it will be making use of the backward-compatibility technology.

Erneuerte Achterbahn heißt 'Eurosat - CanCan Coaster' - 09.01.2018 Der Europa-Park hat heute die lang ersehnte Medieninformation zum Umbau von Eurosat veröffentlicht:
Zusammenarbeit mit Moulin Rouge
Erneuerte Achterbahn heißt „Eurosat - CanCan Coaster“
Das Wahrzeichen im Französischen Themenbereich des Europa-Park – die Dunkel-Achterbahn Eurosat – sowie das 1989 gegründete Viertel rund um die Kult-Kugel werden bis zum Sommer umfangreich verändert. Die Schienen und Züge des „Eurosat - CanCan Coasters“ werden komplett erneuert und die Technik sowie die Thematisierung werden großzügigen Überarbeitungen unterzogen. Ebenso erhält die gesamte Fassade eine neue, lebhafte Optik und wird sich den Besuchern in Anlehnung an die bekannte Sehenswürdigkeit „Moulin Rouge“ – das Pariser Markenzeichen für Spaß und Unterhaltung seit 1889 – in einem attraktiven Look präsentieren und die reiche Kultur und Historie Frankreichs auf sehenswerte Art erlebbar machen. Direkt neben dem Eingang zum Fahrgeschäft kann zudem ein Elsässer Souvenir- und Kuriositäten-Shop namens „Madame Freudenreich Curiosités“ erkundet werden, der die bisherige Attraktion „Universum der Energie“ ersetzt. Ab Sommer 2018 wird in der Kugel auch das innovative Coastiality-Erlebnis seine Fahrgäste in Empfang nehmen.
Der Europa-Park unternimmt seit Ende der Sommersaison 2017 umfangreiche Baumaßnahmen im Französischen Themenbereich. Im Fokus steht die 45 Meter hohe Dunkel-Achterbahn Eurosat, die seit 1989 über 80 Millionen Menschen unfallfrei durch die charakteristische Kugel befördert hat. Sowohl die Schienen als auch alle technischen Aspekte und die Thematisierung werden komplett überarbeitet. Das von Mack Rides hergestellte Fahrgeschäft wird durch Fortschritte und Weiterentwicklungen im Bereich der Schienenherstellung des Waldkircher Unternehmens ein erheblich verbessertes Fahrgefühl bieten. In Gedenken an den Erfinder Franz Mack und auf Wunsch der Inhaberfamilie Mack wird sich das künftige Streckenlayout sehr nahe am Original der futuristischen Silberkugel orientieren und damit auch weiterhin rund 900 Meter lang sein.

Prominente Optik: Varieté-Theater „Moulin Rouge“ ziert Fassade
Der Europa-Park ist für seine detailverliebte und realitätsnahe Gestaltung weltbekannt. Daher begrüßt schon bald die neugestaltete Fassade vor dem Wahrzeichen im Französischen Themenbereich mit einem originalgetreuen Nachbau des Pariser Varieté-Theaters „Moulin Rouge“ die Fahrgäste. Die attraktive Neugestaltung in Anlehnung an die bekannte Sehenswürdigkeit lädt ein, sich im Paris des 19. Jahrhunderts zu Zeiten der Belle Epoque auf die Fahrt mit dem „Eurosat - CanCan Coaster“ einzustimmen und eine „Nachterbahnfahrt“ der besonderen Art zu erleben. „Cancan“ ist ein französischer Tanz, der um das Jahr 1830 entstanden ist und noch heute im Stadtviertel Montmartre beheimateten „Moulin Rouge“ von den Tänzerinnen dargeboten wird. Mit dem originalgetreuen Nachbau der roten Mühle sowie weiteren typischen Pariser Symbolen würdigt Deutschlands größter Freizeitpark das traditionsreiche Varieté-Theater, das heute in der dritten Generation von der Familie Clerico geführt und durch die vierte Generation bereits unterstützt wird.

Neues VR-Erlebnis von MackMedia
Mit „Eurosat Coastiality“ schafft MackMedia im Zuge der Umgestaltung zusätzlich ein neues Virtual Reality-Erlebnis im beliebtesten Freizeitpark Europas. Um das innovative Fahrvergnügen zu ermöglichen, wird erstmals ein separater Bahnhof mit Verschiebegleis und separaten Zügen in die Darkride-Achterbahn integriert. Somit existieren künftig zwei Attraktionen in einem Fahrgeschäft, die die gleiche Streckenführung nutzen.
„Madame Freudenreich Curiosités“ ersetzt „Universum der Energie“
Im Rahmen der Umbauarbeiten können die Besucher darüber hinaus auf weitere Neuerungen im Französischen Themenbereich gespannt sein. Die Welt von Madame Freudenreich mit ihrem Elsässer Souvenir- und Kuriositäten-Shop, der in einer typischen Fachwerkhaus-Optik erstrahlen wird, ersetzt die bisherige Attraktion „Universum der Energie“. Neben dem Eingang zum „Eurosat - CanCan Coaster“ dürfen sich die Besucher auf verschiedene spannende Szenarien im Haus des großen Dinosaurier-Fans freuen. Dabei haben sie die Chance, jede Menge prähistorische Artefakte von den Giganten der Vorzeit zu erblicken. Vorbei an Dino-Selfies mit Frau Freudenreich, hinunter in den ehemaligen Weinkeller, der mittlerweile als Saurier-Zuchtstätte dient, bis hinaus in den dichtbewachsenen Garten, in dem die Dinos mit leckerem Gugelhupf gefüttert werden, kann allerhand entdeckt werden.
Zu den weiteren Neuerungen zählen ein schwimmendes Bistro-Boot auf zwei Etagen mit Platz für rund 60 Personen, die Verlegung und Neuerrichtung des traditionellen Flammkuchenstandes sowie eine Wasser-Fontänen-Show, die im Halbstundentakt zu unterschiedlicher französischer Musik die Besucher unterhalten wird.
Die umfangreichen Umgestaltungen sind eine Hommage an die reiche Kultur Frankreichs, ihre Historie und das spezielle Lebensgefühl des Nachbarlandes.
Informationen zu Moulin Rouge Das Moulin Rouge beherbergt eine spektakuläre Welt, in der die Emotionen, Überraschungen und Leidenschaften (statt Aufregungen) des Pariser Nachtlebens seit 1889 spektakulär präsentiert ausgelebt, neu erfunden und geteilt werden. Cabaret und Veranstaltungsort für öffentliche Bälle bei seiner Eröffnung, legendäres Varieté in den Goldenen Zwanzigern und eine Bühne, auf der berühmte französische und internationale Künstler auftraten: das Moulin Rouge und dessen 60 Künstler präsentieren aktuell ihre Revue Féerie, eine zweistündige Show voller Zauber, mit getanzten Bildern und verblüffenden Acts Nummern, ohne den legendärsten Tanz des Moulin Rouge zu vergessen: den French Cancan. Jeden Abend lädt die Bühnenwelt zum Träumen ein: 1000 Kostüme aus Federn, Kristallen und Pailletten, herausragende Darbietungen, prachtvolle Dekore und französische Original-Musik. Voller Begeisterung sind auch die Handwerker in ihren Ateliers hinter den Kulissen am Werk: Dank ihres Talents und einzigartigen Savoir-faire stellen die Plumassiers, Schuhmacher, Sticker und Schneider in Handarbeit umwerfende maßgeschneiderte Kostüme, Schuhe und Accessoires her, die es den Künstlern ermöglichen, auf der Bühne alles für eine unvergessliche Darbietung zu geben.
Ob für eine abendliche, mit Champagner genossene Aufführung oder für eine Dinner-Show mit raffinierten, vom Chefkoch David Le Quellec gestalteten Gerichten ? das Moulin Rouge empfängt seine Gäste aus Frankreich und der ganzen Welt an seinem ursprünglichen Standort, am Fuße des Hügels von Montmartre, um mit ihnen die Emotionen und Aufregungen eines einzigartigen Augenblicks des Feierns zu teilen.

Haemolytic crises caused by Hoya carnosa in a patient with G6PD deficiency.
Haemolytic crises caused by contact with Hoya carnosa were observed in a 45-years old woman. The investigation of erythrocyte enzymes displayed both G6PD deficiency and its diminished affinity to G-6-P. Some properties of dehydrogenases isolated from erythrocytes of the patient's brother and son were also changed although clinical signs of haemolysis were absent. | {

Outcomes following percutaneous treatment of biliary stones.
The percutaneous approach (PA) for management of biliary stones (BS) with or without an underlying biliary stenosis is an option for patients in whom an endoscopic approach (EA) is not possible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a PA in patients with BS unsuitable for an EA. A retrospective review of a database was performed. Inclusion criteria included patients with benign disease, BS who had undergone a PA. The outcomes were technical success rate, short (≤90 days) and long-term (>90 days) efficacy and safety. A total of 91 patients enrolled were divided into those with (n = 38) or without (n = 53) a biliary stenosis. A median of 5 (IQR:3-7) treatments/patient were performed. During a median follow-up of 23 months (IQR:3-52), the median time free from recurrence was 21 months (CI:14-29). In the long term, the PA was most efficacious in those patients without a biliary stenosis with long term success in 68% of patients as compared to 36% of patients with a biliary stenosis (p = 0.003). A PA is an effective procedure with high initial success rate, however the coexistence of stenosis affects long-term efficacy, especially in patients with chronic biliary disease. | {

Q:
System.Globalization.CultureInfo (de)serialization
I need to store a specific culture in a file. Is it enough to serialize the LCID integer or is that a lossy conversion? Is Name, NativeName or EnglishName to be preferred?
A:
Yes, the LCID is enough to recreate the CultureInfo.
e.g.:
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID)
...will create a new CultureInfo that is identical to the current one...
You could alternatively use the Name property:
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name)

Federal prosecutors recommended that Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, be sentenced to up to six months in prison after he failed to comply with the terms of his cooperation deal.
Prosecutors previously said Flynn should receive as little as no jail time, but they reversed their position after Flynn refused to accept responsibility for lying to the FBI. Prosecutors said Flynn also tried to “undermine” the prosecution of a former business partner.

Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Prosecutors did not push for prison time when he was set to be sentenced in 2018, saying at the time that Flynn’s “early cooperation was particularly valuable, because he was one of the few people with long-term and firsthand insight regarding events and issues under investigation” by special counsel Bob Mueller.
But Judge Emmet Sullivan was unimpressed and excoriated Flynn for his crime.
"My guess was not one of those defendants was a high-ranking government official who while employed by the president of the United States . . . made false statements on the premises of and in the West Wing of the White House," Sullivan said. "I am not hiding my disgust — my disdain — for your criminal offense."

Flynn delayed the sentencing so that he could continue to help prosecutors in an attempt to get the most lenient sentence possible and was scheduled to testify against former business partner Bijan Kian.
He was ultimately not called to testify after his cooperation fell apart and he hired Sidney Powell , a right-wing lawyer who pushed conspiracy theories about his case on social media.
Flynn’s new legal team tried to mount a new defense, attacking the prosecutors in the case and asking Sullivan to hold them in contempt. His lawyer claimed that the FBI entrapped Flynn into pleading guilty and that prosecutors had withheld evidence that would be helpful to his defense. Sullivan rejected those claims .

The move further backfired on Tuesday when the Justice Department recommended that Flynn, who infamously led a “lock her up” chant aimed at Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Republican convention, be sentenced to up to six months in prison.
"It is clear that the defendant has not learned his lesson," the department said in a sentencing memo . "He has behaved as though the law does not apply to him, and as if there are no consequences for his actions."

"Given the serious nature of the defendant's offense, his apparent failure to accept responsibility, his failure to complete his cooperation in — and his affirmative efforts to undermine — the prosecution of Bijan Rafiekian (also known as Bijan Kian) and the need to promote respect for the law and adequately deter such criminal conduct," prosecutors said.
The memo acknowledged that Flynn’s case was unique.
"Few courts have sentenced a high-ranking government official and former military general for making false statements," the Justice Department said. "And the government is not aware of any case where such a high-ranking official failed to accept responsibility for his conduct, continued to lie to the government and took steps to impair a criminal prosecution."

Prosecutors also argued that Flynn’s sentence should "deter others from lying to the government.”
"Lying to the FBI, in any context, cannot be tolerated," the memo said. "That is particularly true in a counterintelligence investigation targeting efforts by a foreign government to interfere in our democratic process — a threat that continues to this day."
Flynn, who was fired from the White House after just 23 days on the job, is expected to submit his sentencing request later this month. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 28.

Any sentence that Flynn receives could be a formality since his family has already staged a lobbying effort to get Trump to pardon him.
“All we want is justice to be done as we know he committed no crimes and was set up,” Flynn’s brother, Joseph, told Politico last month.
But he expressed confidence that Powell would make sure that Flynn would be cleared.
“We are extremely thankful she is in our lives,” he said. | {

Inside the Minnesota DIY movement
Meet the local makers who are taking technology back
The Spoonapault sits rotting in front of a low brick warehouse in Longfellow. A small medieval catapult with a business end shaped like a soup spoon, the weapon serves as a symbol both of the creativity and longevity of the organization that built it.
In better years the Spoonapault looked like a medieval interpretation of the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture, complete with plush cherries that it flung. Its catapulting days over, the Spoonapault now acts as a symbol of Twin Cities Maker, a 120-person organization in south Minneapolis devoted to the do-it-yourself mentality that has seen a resurgence in the past 10 years.
Inside the Hack Factory, as the Twin Cities Maker's warehouse is called, Michael Freiert reflects on the genesis of the project. It dates back to 2009, before the organization's charter had been established and the Hack Factory rented. At the time, the two dozen founders would meet at Uptown's Common Roots coffee shop, drinking Surly and talking about the projects they were working on.

"We were all showing each other whatever we'd built," Freiert recalls.
Members would bring half-constructed projects, cool tools, and boxes of mysterious electronic components. As a nascent organization, however, the members felt that they should work on something as a group.
"We were building community but hadn't done anything together," Freiert says.
They began brainstorming ideas for an upcoming event at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Called Make: Day, the festivities were to consist of local DIYers and artists showing off their projects. A call for entries had been announced, and Twin Cities Maker responded.
"A bunch of us got really, really excited about doing that as a group project," Freiert says.
He and about half a dozen other members got together in the garage of Freiert's Northeast home, where they built the Spoonapault. They failed, however, to convince the Science Museum of the project's value.
"They were a little bit terrified of letting a bunch of coffee-shop aficionados fling half-kilo plush cherries around their museum," Freiert says with a chuckle.
The following year the group created its charter, voted in officers, and put down a deposit on a warehouse. The Hack Factory was organized as the ultimate workshop for its members, who brought in their own tools and furniture to stock the place. Woodworking and metal-crafting areas were established, and a classroom/electronics lab was created. The Hack Factory is one of hundreds of such buildings throughout the world, called hackerspaces or maker spaces.
The Spoonapault, meanwhile, became something of a symbol for the group. It was hauled out for a few more events, and the spoon was rebuilt once, but eventually lost some of its shine. After a couple of members tried to throw it out, the catapult was put in the Hack Factory's front yard to live out the rest of its days.
"It sat out all winter," Freiert says regretfully. "I'm not happy it's as weathered as it is, but it's also a great icon for us."
Back inside, the group's president, Becca Steffen, holds court in the boardroom. She joined Twin Cities Maker in 2011, and quickly found her professional skills in high demand. A lawyer with her own practice, Steffen helped guide the group through the tumultuous process of applying for 501c3 nonprofit status.
But Steffen originally joined the group to build yurts.
"My law partner and I had decided to build a yurt — technically, a Mongolian ger," she explains.
Gers are traditional Mongolian tents, historically built out of felt, though Steffen and business partner Dan Gorman's was made from canvas and wooden slats from the lumberyard.
"Mongolian gers are kind of awesome because they are portable — you can collapse the walls, the roof poles, you can wrap it all in the canvas," Steffen says. "We've hauled it on top of the Prius. Unlike a pavilion, it's a lot more stable."
Steffen and Gorman had just graduated from law school, and both lived in apartments that didn't have room for a workshop.
"Neither one of us had money for power tools," she says.
They showed up at the Hack Factory and quickly found a receptive audience for the project. The resulting 16-foot ger was shown off on the front lawn of the Hack Factory and made appearances at local DIY fairs. They have used the ger for camping in state parks and have set it up at music festivals.
"We've never had an actual fire in it," Steffen says. "We did have some candles in there."
Once the other members learned of Steffen's legal background, they urged her to run for a board seat. After joining the board she was elected vice president. When the previous president's two-year term ended, the board elected her president in a unanimous vote.
As the group's new leader, Steffen was faced with two challenges: to increase the organization's presence in local DIY events, and to increase the participation of women.
Recently the group created Strange Attractors, an interactive installation for Lowertown's Northern Spark art festival. It consisted of a six-foot panel of full-color blinking LEDs that emulated the patterns of fireflies. In a natural environment, fireflies' flashes eventually synchronize, and the swarm's patterns change in response to ambient light levels. The installation has visitors shine flashlights on the LED wall, which senses the light and changes its flashes in response. | {

Dragon’s Den guru backs ForWhereiAm venture
SCOTT REID
AN ELECTRONICS engineer has secured financial backing along with the mentoring support of an online Dragons’ Den guru for her “groundbreaking” marketing tool.
ForWhereiAm is the brainchild of Nazish Aslam, a graduate of Heriot-Watt University, who went on to work for FTSE-100 chip developer ARM.
She has developed technology that creates a real-time message broadcast network, connecting businesses and organisations with consumers. It allows interaction with individuals based on where they are, down to their postcode.
The venture is being backed by tech start-up specialist Peerless Investments, chaired by Athif Sarwar, the son of former MP and cash-and-carry tycoon Mohammad Sarwar.
The Peerless board includes Shaf Rasul, one of the “dragons” in the online version of the popular BBC business show. It also benefits from the know-how of entrepreneur Andrew Gordon, who founded Advanced MP3 Players in 2001 and went on to establish Digital Audio Distribution (DAD) five years ago.
Aslam, who left ARM to start her own business, said: “Often you don’t know what you are searching for in the local area but would appreciate knowing about, say, any particularly great offers or transport service disruptions.
“There’s so much information noise out there – sometimes you just want to cut that out and source the filtered, localised information that you really need by getting it sent straight to you.
“With forWhereiAm, you can now see all of the announcements or offers that are of relevance to you on your own doorstep. It brings the best parts of the high street directly to you and places it in the palm of your hand, encouraging local business and greater footfall.”
Sarwar said that the so-called “hyper-local” marketing tool also had potentially huge applications across the public sector.
He said: “I have been absolutely blown away by Nazish’s level of ingenuity in developing and patenting this incredible technology that, among its many potential applications, could radically change retail behaviour.
“We’re very excited to be part of it, and will now help to fully realise the project by giving Nazish the full depth of our extensive experience.”
“This technology’s breadth and scope for both commercial and government applications is tremendously exciting. Indeed, we believe it could be the missing link that bridges the gap between current ecommerce and high street retailing challenges.” He said that Peerless Investments was on the lookout for “other hi-tech opportunities”.
Rasul, whose core business interests include E-Net Computers, which he set up in 2000, added: “Nazish is an extremely talented individual and the Peerless team are delighted to have teamed up with her in the joint hope of realising her ambitions.” | {

Yap1 and Skn7 genetically interact with Rad51 in response to oxidative stress and DNA double-strand break in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated DNA adducts as well as DNA strand breaks are highly mutagenic leading to genomic instability and tumorigenesis. DNA damage repair pathways and oxidative stress response signaling have been proposed to be highly associated, but the underlying interaction remains unknown. In this study, we employed mutant strains lacking Rad51, the homolog of E. coli RecA recombinase, and Yap1 or Skn7, two major transcription factors responsive to ROS, to examine genetic interactions between double-strand break (DSB) repair proteins and cellular redox regulators in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Abnormal expression of YAP1 or SKN7 aggravated the mutation rate of rad51 mutants and their sensitivity to DSB- or ROS-generating reagents. Rad51 deficiency exacerbated genome instability in the presence of increased levels of ROS, and the accumulation of DSB lesions resulted in elevated intracellular ROS levels. Our findings suggest that evident crosstalk between DSB repair pathways and ROS signaling proteins contributes to cell survival and maintenance of genome integrity in response to genotoxic stress. | {

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of satellite antennas. More specifically, the present invention discloses a deployable satellite antenna intended especially for use on a vehicle, such as a recreational vehicle.
2. Statement of the Problem
Antennas have enjoyed increasing popularity in recent years for the purpose of receiving television signals from orbiting satellites. Satellite antennas are perhaps most widely used in small towns and rural areas that are not served by cable television systems. However, a market for satellite antennas also exists for recreational vehicles, such as motor homes, campers, trailers, mobile homes, and the like, that can be moved to remote locations not serviced by conventional cable television systems. A number of special considerations come into play when adapting an antenna for use on such a vehicle. First, it should be possible to readily stow the antenna while the vehicle is traveling to minimize aerodynamic resistance and to reduce the risk of damage to the antenna, its ancillary equipment, and the vehicle resulting from aerodynamic loads and other road hazards. Second, the antenna should be able to be positioned to virtually any azimuth and elevation. With a conventional ground-based antenna, it is sometimes possible to accept a limited range of azimuths or elevations for an antenna given the known relative locations of the satellites and the antenna. In the case of an antenna mounted on a vehicle that can be moved over a wide geographic area and parked in any azimuth orientation, such restrictions are not acceptable and a full range of possible azimuth and elevation positions are necessary for the antenna. Third, the antenna system should be relatively compact while stowed and while deployed, so as not to interfere with any other objects (e.g., the air conditioning unit, vents, or luggage rack) located on the roof of a typical recreational vehicle. Finally, the system should be designed to use conventional electric motors to accurately control the motion of the mechanical linkages to position the antenna without discontinuities or singularities.
A number of deployable antennas have been invented in the past, including the following:
______________________________________ Inventor Patent No. Issue Date ______________________________________ Yamada 4,887,091 Dec. 12, 1989 Bissett 4,811,026 Mar. 7, 1989 Radov 4,710,778 Dec. 1, 1987 Wilson 4,663,633 May 5, 1987 Shepard 4,602,259 July 22, 1986 Japan 60-260207 Dec. 23, 1985 Japan 60-260205 Dec. 23, 1985 Japan 60-233905 Nov. 20, 1985 Weir 4,490,726 Dec. 25, 1984 Sayovitz 4,309,708 Jan. 5, 1982 Japan 55-53903 Apr. 19, 1980 Budrow, et al. 3,739,387 June 12, 1973 Budrow, et al. 3,665,477 May 23, 1972 Budrow, et al. 3,587,104 June 22, 1971 Bergling 3,412,404 Nov. 19, 1968 ______________________________________
Yamada discloses a receiving antenna for vehicles having a horizontally rotatable base plate with a main reflector tiltably attached to the edge of the base plate. A sub-reflector is mounted at the end of an arm extending from the base plate.
Bissett discloses a mobile satellite receiving antenna especially for use on recreational vehicles. A generally cylindrical collar extends upward from the vehicle roof. A parabolic reflector is hinged along an edge to a horizontal turntable within the collar so that the reflector may be rotated to a concave downward position to serve as a weather cover over the collar and also to provide smooth aerodynamic conditions during transport.
Radov discloses a modular earth station for satellite communications having a frame adapted to be installed in an inclined roof. A concave antenna is adjustably mounted to the frame and covered by a rigid canopy.
Wilson discloses a vehicle-mounted satellite antenna system having a base plate mounted on the vehicle roof, a support member rotatably secured to the base plate to permit rotation about a vertical axis, and a parabolic reflector pivotally secured to the support member. The feed arm is pivotally secured to one end of the parabolic reflector. When the antenna is deployed, the feed arm is automatically pivoted to a position wherein the feed horn is coincident with the focus of the reflector. When the antenna is returned to its rest position, the feed arm is automatically pivoted so that the feed horn is retained within the confines of the interior surface of the reflector.
Shepard discloses a polar mount for a parabolic satellite-tracking antenna.
Japanese Patent Nos. 60-260207 and 60-260205 disclose a vehicle-mounted antennas that can be stowed with the dish in a face-down position against the roof of the vehicle.
Japanese Patent No. 60-233905 discloses an antenna having a feed arm that permits the feed horn to be stowed in a position adjacent to the surface of the dish.
Weir discloses a collapsible rooftop parabolic antenna. The antenna has a horizontal pivot that provides axial displacement if axial wind forces on the antenna exceed a predetermined limit. This limits the torque transmitted to the roof on which the antenna is mounted to a reasonably low level.
Sayovitz discloses a foldable disk antenna supported on a framework resting on the bed of a truck or trailer. Folding legs on the framework can be extended to contact the ground to support the antenna.
Japanese Patent No. 55-53903 discloses a satellite antenna with a tracking system that allows the antenna to be stowed.
The patents to Budrow, et al. disclose several embodiments of a TV antenna suitable for mounting upon the roof of a recreational vehicle. The direction of the antenna can be controlled from the vehicle interior. In addition, the antenna dipoles can be folded to a closed position when the vehicle is transported.
Bergling discloses a dish reflector having a stowed position.
3. Solution to the Problem None of the prior art references uncovered in the search show a deployable antenna system having the structure of the present invention. In particular, the mechanism used to control and adjust the elevation of the antenna in the present invention is neither taught nor suggested by the prior art. | {

# Envoy v2 APIs for developers
## Goals
This repository contains both the implemented and draft v2 JSON REST and gRPC
[Envoy](https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/) APIs.
Version 2 of the Envoy API evolves existing APIs and introduces new APIs to:
* Allow for more advanced load balancing through load and resource utilization reporting to management servers.
* Improve N^2 health check scalability issues by optionally offloading health checking to other Envoy instances.
* Support Envoy deployment in edge, sidecar and middle proxy deployment models via changes to the listener model,
CDS API, and EDS (formerly called SDS in v1) API.
* Allow streaming updates from the management server on change, instead of polling APIs from Envoy. gRPC APIs will be supported
alongside JSON REST APIs to provide for this.
* Ensure all Envoy runtime configuration is dynamically discoverable via API
calls, including listener configuration, certificates and runtime settings, which are today sourced from the filesystem. There
will still remain a static bootstrap configuration file that will specify items
unlikely to change during runtime, including the Envoy node identity, xDS
management server addresses, administration interface and tracing
configuration.
* Revisit and where appropriate cleanup any v1 technical debt.
## Status
See
[here](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/overview/v2_overview.html#status)
for the current status of the v2 APIs.
See [here](CONTRIBUTING.md#api-changes) for the v2 API change process.
## Principles
* [Proto3](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3) will be
used to specify the canonical API. This will provide directly the gRPC API and
via gRPC-JSON transcoding the JSON REST API. A textual YAML input will be
supported for filesystem configuration files (e.g. the bootstrap file), in
addition to JSON, as a syntactic convenience. YAML file contents will be
internally converted to JSON and then follow the standard JSON-proto3
conversion during Envoy config ingestion.
* xDS APIs should support eventual consistency. For example, if RDS references a
cluster that has not yet been supplied by CDS, it should be silently ignored
and traffic not forwarded until the CDS update occurs. Stronger consistency
guarantees are possible if the management server is able to sequence the xDS
APIs carefully (for example by using the ADS API below). By following the
`[CDS, EDS, LDS, RDS]` sequence for all pertinent resources, it will be
possible to avoid traffic outages during configuration update.
* The API is primarily intended for machine generation and consumption. It is
expected that the management server is responsible for mapping higher level
configuration concepts to API responses. Similarly, static configuration
fragments may be generated by templating tools, etc. The APIs and tools
used to generate xDS configuration are beyond the scope of the definitions in
this repository.
* REST-JSON API equivalents will be provided for the basic singleton xDS
subscription services CDS/EDS/LDS/RDS/SDS. Advanced APIs such as HDS, ADS and
EDS multi-dimensional LB will be gRPC only. This avoids having to map
complicated bidirectional stream semantics onto REST.
* Listeners will be immutable. Any updates to a listener via LDS will require
the draining of existing connections for the specific bound IP/port. As a
result, new requests will only be guaranteed to observe the new configuration
after existing connections have drained or the drain timeout.
* Versioning will be expressed via [proto3 package
namespaces](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#packages),
i.e. `package envoy.api.v2;`.
* Custom components (e.g. filters, resolvers, loggers) will use a reverse DNS naming scheme,
e.g. `com.google.widget`, `com.lyft.widget`.
## APIs
Unless otherwise stated, the APIs with the same names as v1 APIs have a similar role.
* [Cluster Discovery Service (CDS)](envoy/api/v2/cds.proto).
* [Endpoint Discovery Service (EDS)](envoy/api/v2/eds.proto). This has the same role as SDS in the [v1 API](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v1/cluster_manager/sds),
the new name better describes what the API does in practice. Advanced global load balancing capable of utilizing N-dimensional upstream metrics is now supported.
* [Health Discovery Service (HDS)](envoy/service/discovery/v2/hds.proto). This new API supports efficient endpoint health discovery by the management server via the Envoy instances it manages. Individual Envoy instances
will typically receive HDS instructions to health check a subset of all
endpoints. The health check subset may not be a subset of the Envoy instance's
EDS endpoints.
* [Listener Discovery Service (LDS)](envoy/api/v2/lds.proto). This new API supports dynamic discovery of the listener configuration (which ports to bind to, TLS details, filter chains, etc.).
* [Metric Service (MS)](envoy/service/metrics/v2/metrics_service.proto). This new API allows Envoy to push (stream) metrics forever for servers to consume.
* [Rate Limit Service (RLS)](envoy/service/ratelimit/v2/rls.proto)
* [Route Discovery Service (RDS)](envoy/api/v2/rds.proto).
* [Secret Discovery Service (SDS)](envoy/service/discovery/v2/sds.proto).
In addition to the above APIs, an aggregation API will be provided to allow for
fine grained control over the sequencing of API updates across discovery
services:
* [Aggregated Discovery Service (ADS)](envoy/api/v2/discovery.proto). See
the [ADS overview](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/overview/v2_overview#aggregated-discovery-service).
A protocol description for the xDS APIs is provided [here](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-docs/xds_protocol).
## Terminology
Some relevant [existing terminology](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/intro/arch_overview/terminology.html) is
repeated below and some new v2 terms introduced.
* Cluster: A cluster is a group of logically similar endpoints that Envoy
connects to. In v2, RDS routes points to clusters, CDS provides cluster configuration and
Envoy discovers the cluster members via EDS.
* Downstream: A downstream host connects to Envoy, sends requests, and receives responses.
* Endpoint: An endpoint is an upstream host that is a member of one or more clusters. Endpoints are discovered via EDS.
* Listener: A listener is a named network location (e.g., port, unix domain socket, etc.) that can be connected to by downstream clients. Envoy exposes one or more listeners that downstream hosts connect to.
* Locality: A location where an Envoy instance or an endpoint runs. This includes
region, zone and sub-zone identification.
* Management server: A logical server implementing the v2 Envoy APIs. This is not necessarily a single physical machine since it may be replicated/sharded and API serving for different xDS APIs may be implemented on different physical machines.
* Region: Geographic region where a zone is located.
* Sub-zone: Location within a zone where an Envoy instance or an endpoint runs.
This allows for multiple load balancing targets within a zone.
* Upstream: An upstream host receives connections and requests from Envoy and returns responses.
* xDS: CDS/EDS/HDS/LDS/RLS/RDS/SDS APIs.
* Zone: Availability Zone (AZ) in AWS, Zone in GCP.

Adam Shaw (journalist)
Adam Shaw is a British business journalist and presenter, who works for the BBC and ITV.
Shaw was educated at an inner city comprehensive school in Kilburn, London. Until October 2008, he presented Working Lunch, BBC Two's main lunchtime economics programme. He also formerly presented Business Breakfast and World Business Report.
Career
Between 1994 and 2008, Shaw presented on Working Lunch, working alongside Adrian Chiles and Paddy O'Connell, among others. He was particularly well known for the Shaw's Shares segment of the programme, in which he rounded up the day's happenings on the stock market. It was announced in July 2008 that, as part of a Working Lunch relaunch, Shaw would leave the programme. He left on 26 September, and was succeeded by Declan Curry.
For three years he was the business presenter of Radio 4's Today Programme. On the programme he interviewed most of the chief executives of the FTSE 100 and occasionally was let out of the studio to do fun reports, including composing a song with Guy Chambers. More recently he presented Drive to Buy for ITV in late 2012 and Cook Me The Money, for ITV in April 2013. He is the presenter of BBC World News series called Horizons, which looks at the emerging new business ideas around the world. The first two series in 2009 and 2010 took him to over 30 different countries visiting places such as the Amazon Jungle and Inner Mongolia, as well as usual destinations such as New York City, Paris, and São Paulo. Shaw is also a regular presenter of BBC Radio 4's weekly finance programme Money Box. and also ITV's Tonight programme

Andy Rubin led the charge for Android within Google. He left Google in 2014, and founded a smartphone startup named Essential in 2015.
A report surfaced in late November on The Information, which uncovered a Google complaint from 2014 alleging Rubin had an “inappropriate” relationship with a colleague.
He subsequently took a leave of absence from his startup, but has since returned.
Andy Rubin is back at Essential, the smartphone startup he founded to take on his former employer, Google, and Apple.
The “father of Android” took a leave of absence from Essential in late November after a report in The Information was published that concerned his time at Google. The report unearthed a Google internal complaint from 2014 that accused Rubin of having an “inappropriate” relationship with a colleague in Google’s Android division.
Rubin denied the allegation of a non-consensual relationship at Google through his spokesperson at the time and said his leave was due to “personal matters” and had been requested before the report from his time at Google surfaced.
He also contested that he was even made aware of such a complaint. “Mr. Rubin was never told by Google that he engaged in any misconduct while at Google and he did not, either while at Google or since,” Rubin’s spokesperson Mike Sitrick told The Information.
Essential launched its first product, a high-end smartphone, earlier this year.
It’s not clear what the “personal matters” were that caused Rubin to the leave of absence, or whether the leave was for a specified period of time.
Recode first reported on Rubin’s return to Essential late on Friday, citing two people close to Rubin; Business Insider has confirmed his return independently. Representatives for Rubin declined to offer an official statement.

This long, lightly smoked, medium-spiced, pork and beef summer sausage will delight your taste buds. Wikstrom's has been selling this item since 1962 to customers who journey to their Chicago store from all over the country. Great at Christmas time and year round, it is wonderful on Scandinavian open-face sandwiches. We recommend it on your favorite bread with a slice of Havarti cheese. For an easy appetizer, slice it thin, roll it up, and pop in a toothpick.
Every bit as good as I remember from my childhood in Chicago! High quality and very tasty.

Great Swedish Summer Sausage
Everyone who ate this on Christmas Eve enjoyed it. Went well on limpa bread.
By James Nelsonfrom Oklahoma City, OKon Dec 27, 2014
A taste of childhood
Excellent as always, when I serve this to my guests, they always comment on its flavour and texture. For myself, it never fails to transport me to fond memories of family Christmas of the past.

I always like goteborgs korv but my daughter loves it and takes it home with her when she
visits.

Goteberg
Goteberg was good, at first I was afraid to eat it because by the time received it, it was warm, came late, I think I was the last delivery. But I did take a chance and ate it. It was good. I would like to receive a little sooner, I did pay a lot for S&H
By SORfrom San Jose, CAon May 16, 2014
One of the best
This is an excellent sausage, not too spicy, just the way sausage is supposed to be, what comes to my taste. | {

Disney chairman-CEO Bob Iger told shareholders Thursday the company’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox will close “soon” and that the enlarged company is ready to “hit the ground running.” He also announced an accelerated opening schedule for the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge lands coming to Disneyland and Disney World.
Iger addressed shareholders Thursday morning at the Stifel Theatre in St. Louis, Mo., in keeping with Disney’s tradition of holding its annual meeting in a different city every year. St. Louis is close to the childhood home of company founder Walt Disney in Marceline, Mo., Iger noted.
Iger told shareholders that the company is expecting to gain final regulatory approval of the 21st Century Fox transaction “soon.” There were reports Thursday that Mexico’s telecom regulator has set a vote for Monday to give its approval of the deal, which is believed to be the last outside hurdle before Disney and Fox can wrap up the final elements of the $71.3 billion transaction.
Iger hailed the rich trove of production and programming assets come to Disney in the Fox deal as well as its “wealth of proven management talent.”
Iger added that Disney is poised to begin building on its enlarged production platform as soon as it receives the keys to 20th Century Fox, FX Networks, National Geographic Partners and other assets.
“Our new corporate structure is designed to integrate these assets and maximize long-term value,” Iger said. “We spent most of (last) year on integration planning so we’ll hit the ground running as soon as the deal closes.”
Later in the meeting, Iger said that Disney plans to keep some of the 20th Century Fox-related brand names alive for some productions.
“There will be businesses within the company that still have the Fox name on them, particularly on the movie side,” Iger said. “We will continue to make the movies under the Fox brand and Fox Searchlight brand. FX will keep its name too.”
During the session, Iger disclosed that Disney was moving up the opening date of its Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land at Disneyland and Disney World. Galaxy’s Edge will open its doors in Anaheim on May 31 and in Orlando on Aug. 29.
Iger gave Galaxy’s Edge quite a build-up, calling them “by far the largest lands we have ever built” before he screened a short video. The Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction within Galaxy’s Edge is “the most technologically advanced and immersive attraction we have ever imagined,” Iger added. “No one has ever attempted anything of this magnitude.”
During the meeting, shareholders easily re-elected nine Disney board members and approved the company-endorsed proposal for its annual non-binding shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation. Two shareholder proposals were defeated. One was a bid to have Disney offer much greater disclosure of its lobbying activities and affiliations with trade organizations. That was approved by only 39% of shareholders who voted. A bid to tie Disney’s executive compensation to the company’s handling of cyber security and data privacy issues was supported by only 26% of shareholders.
Iger also showed off clips of Disney’s upcoming live-action “Lion King” film and as well as a peek at “Maleficent: Mistress of All Evil.”
Among other topics Iger touched on:
Iger was pressed by a shareholder about revelations that ABC personalities Jimmy Kimmel and “The View” co-host Joy Behar in the past had appeared in blackface, albeit not on ABC’s air. Iger acknowledged the company dealt with the issue “as a private matter,” he said. “We don’t condone the use of blackface under any circumstance in our world today.”
Iger touted the participation in the Disney Aspire program launched last fall to provide free tuition for every hourly-wage employee at Disney, which translates to about 80,000 of its more than 200,000 employees. Iger said about 40% of those eligible had signed up for the program in its first six months. “Nothing would make me happier than if we had 100 percent of our eligible cast members take advantage of this opportunity.” Disney Aspire is funded at $150 million over the next five years. Iger said the company would add $25 million more each year after the initial five-year term.
Iger confirmed that the Disney Plus streaming service set to launch later this year will eventually house the entire Disney movie library. That’s a shift from the company’s historic pattern of keeping its classic films out of circulation for years at a time to build up demand. When a shareholder told him during the Q&A session that she was looking forward to the service, Iger responded: “Tell a friend, too.” | {

Are DASH's required before any $$ are spent, or is there a threshhold? I don't think that Jacoby gets DASH's for any of his projects and he has spent over $1MM on 4 of his Florida sites.

Subject: RE: Update: Recommendations from 9/18 Meeting on Transaction Expense Controls / Delegations of Authority
Could be related to the amount spent on the Ft Pierce project that we looked at last week.
Procedures look ok. I thought the developers were already responsible for dollars spent on projects.
I guess the point about Accounting setting up approved budget limits kind of addresses our responsibility when the spent amounts approach the limit. But Theresa & I have had that discussion before. What do we do and who do we notify if we see the total spend approaching or passing the Dashed amount. It shows up on the Cost summarywe give the developer, but should we bring it to the attention of someone other than the developer?
Based on the discussions Thursday & Friday about accounting becoming more involved on the front end, I'd like to think we could be involved in discussions before the final Dash is circulated by underwriting.

We need to put this into action from a tracking point of view. This is a result of an over spent dash. Any comment?

Subject: Update: Recommendations from 9/18 Meeting on Transaction Expense Controls / Delegations of Authority
Below please find a summary of recommendations from a meeting held Tuesday between Chip Schneider, Joe Deffner and Wes Colwell. It is contemplated that these or similar recommendations will be implemented to control capital and other expenditures related to transaction development within the Americas:
Regional Managers within the Americas (East, West, Canada, Mexico, South America) shall be generally accountable for capital expenditures and other expenses associated with transaction development in their respective regions.
The Regional Manager shall designate one Transaction Leader (Director level or higher) for each individual transaction under consideration and shall be accountable to the Regional Manager. The Transaction Leader or Regional Manager shall be the only parties authorized to obligate Enron or its affiliates under any contract or to transfer money.
Legal shall provide copies of all draft documents to Accounting, Global Finance and Underwriting.
The Deal Leader shall be responsible for drafting initial DASH, seeking buy-in from management and establishing a time-table for expenditure approval.
The initial draft of the DASH and economic model shall be provided to Underwriting at least ten business days prior to any movement of money (more time may be necessary if financing or ENE BoD approval is required).
Legal shall provide a final Legal Risk Memorandum to Underwriting prior to circulation of DASH.
Global Finance shall provide a final FASH to Underwriting prior to circulation of DASH.
Underwriting shall be responsible for DASH circulation.
Underwriting shall promptly provide Accounting with fully executed DASH to set approved budget limits.
Accounting shall keep records of all expenditures, maintain responsibility for approved budget compliance and sign-off on all contracts and money transfers prior to execution.
Let me know what further thoughts you have.
Regards,
Chip Schneider

This article highlights three publicly owned networks that are expanding or building in the midst of a difficult economy - the Dumont Telephone Company in Iowa (a cooperative); Auburn, Indiana; and Greenlight in Wilson, North Carolina.
Dumont is facing the most difficult path:
Deploying rural and small-town fiber is always tough. Doing it without much hope of funding from outside is even tougher. But visionaries in these communities took the long view, planning to stretch out their builds over as much as seven years – longer if they have to. One community – Dumont, Iowa – is profiting from a world-class GPON build with fewer than two households passed per mile and precisely zero businesses to help foot the bill.
Auburn began building a municipal fiber network to keep some local employers in town - called Auburn Essential Services. As happens all over the United States, small towns lose businesses because the private sector is not able to provide the necessary networks. Built at first just to connect some local sites, the city later began to expand it:
In mid-2006 the city adopted a phased rollout plan for FTTP, where each phase would generate revenues that could be used to fund the next phase. The first phase, which includes the neighborhoods where most businesses are located, rolled out between April and December of this year.
The city’s marketing plan includes mailers, door hangers, advertising and even site visits to businesses. Existing technology was leveraged for back-office operations, and customers were given the option of receiving consolidated utility bills or separate bills for electricity and telecommunications.
Wilson, North Carolina, was also dealing with poor local networks that hampered economic development. Time Warner not only refused to build the necessary networks, it then refused to use a network the city offered to let them ride, and finally tried to prevent them by passing what was often called the "Incumbent Protection Act" in the state legislature. Fortunately, Time Warner was not able to prevent local competition and Wilson's network is currently being built. They used a rather unique financing plan:
Rather than issue general obligation bonds, Wilson obtained $31 million in private funding...
The US's broadband infrastructure would make a former Soviet bloc country blush. Rural areas are often stuck with slow dial-up or expensive satellite Internet service. Even urban centers lack better high-speed service options, as the increasing deregulation of the telecommunications industry has helped prop up monopolies - which then have no incentive to improve broadband speed or lower costs.
Tim Nulty offers a great vision and hope for the future of rural broadband networks. He discusses the long history of large telcos viciously attacking publicly owned networks and notes that FTTH is possible in nearly all rural areas in the U.S.
Among the advantages of public ownership, he notes the high quality of service, universal coverage, and the potential for common carriage or open access networks.
Our economy and society have evolved over the last 20 years to the point where universal availability of the most modern broadband communications is essential to fully participate in every aspect of our nation’s life. Without it, the promise of an equal chance to succeed is hollow. Our nation came to that conclusion two centuries ago when it created the national postal system, and in subsequent years with respect to roads, water, power and voice telephone. Now, it is coming to the same conclusion about the next level of communications: broadband connectivity. ...
[T]he main entrenched incumbents (both telephone and cable) are strongly reluctant to bring the latest technology to rural areas....focusing, instead, on cheaper but inferior “retrofits” to their legacy copper plant. The claimed reason is that it is not economically feasible to extend the latest technology to less “juicy” areas. In fact, this is not true. Based on the experience of a number of “non-incumbent” FTTH projects, it is clear that it is economic to bring universal FTTH to virtually any rural area that has a density of 12/13 homes per linear mile and all or most of whose plant is aerial. These characteristics cover the overwhelming majority of rural Americans.
Note: Nulty's piece appears on page 23 of the article linked to below. Preceding his piece is a poorly written piece riddled with the very sort of inaccuracies we started this site to correct. The article cites few examples and relies on worst-case, very low probability scenarios to scare the reader. Their discussion of the Utah networks suggests they are unaware of the most basic history of the project, and finally, their comparison of Burlington Telecom to Verizon is laughably simplistic and worthless.
A recurring feature in Broadband Properties is the Municipal FTTH Deployment Snapshot. The Aug/Sept 2008 issue featured one of oldest municipal citywide FTTH deployments in the United States - Bristol Virgina Utilities' Optinet.
The article featured a wealth of technical data from the network as a well as a short history of their legal fights and their "Biggest Success."

I don't want to flag this, per se, but readers should be aware that this
particular article is rather old. The theory has been picked up, criticized,
defended, and a subsequent paper published.

Tony Tulathimutte’s debut novel, Private Citizens, made me deeply uncomfortable. It was a pleasurable sort of discomfort: the book is also smart and dense and, often, hilarious. But over the few days it took me to read it I felt as though I was starring in my own private version of Peep Show or Veep or some other brutally unsparing social comedy. The novel’s milieu was immediately recognizable to me: Tony graduated from Stanford a few years after I did, and both of us spent our formative writer-years as ambivalent, outmoded, and often self-hating humanists living in the San Francisco of the future.
Private Citizens tells the intertwined stories of four recent Stanford grads in a San Francisco that has just really begun to recover from the 2000 dot-com bust, and is on the verge of the bigger collapse of 2008. The novel announces itself as panoramic in ambition: it’s clear from the beginning that it plans to cover nothing less than the relationship between politics, relationships, mental illness, sex, drugs, literary criticism, race, and technology—the latter in the various forms of tech utopianism, Internet performativity, startup culture, and so on. It’s about the tension between, as they call it out there, “engineering” and “editorial.” There’s no attempt to hide the fact that Tulathimutte, no stranger to engineering, has thrown in his lot with editorial: this is a hyperliterary novel; the sentences are dizzy, and play flirtatious games with discipline and control.
Both of us left San Francisco some time ago.
Gideon Lewis-Kraus: This book, it’s not exactly a kind novel.
Tony Tulathimutte: No, it sure isn’t. But it’s not straight satire either, in the sense that satire’s purpose is to condemn by ridicule and caricature; I mean, can a book be satirical when it so obviously implicates its author? It was a conscious choice to align my characters’ biographies with mine in such glaring ways (occupations, hometowns, birthdates, and yes, race) that any barb would have to cut both ways. I snuck that Susan Sontag epigraph in there—the one about how people who participate in a given sensibility can’t analyze it, only exhibit it—to imply that I wasn’t trying to lay judgment from a terrible height.
Here we have four characters with yachtloads of privilege, at odds with certain rarefied disprivileges; it didn’t seem appropriate to write about them with the kind of earnest tenderness or reverence that they’d never apply to themselves, or rarely even to one another, what Proust called “those individuals who are better at analyzing than at valuing themselves.” And the last people who should be earnest or self-righteous are the ones who’ve benefitted most, or at the very least haven’t been held back all that much, by the systems that enable privilege. I can see how having a very close POV on characters filled with ironic self-loathing can be readily mistaken for satire, though. So I guess the techniques of satire (exaggeration, humor) are mobilized toward different ends. Satire written from the inside, like what Edith Wharton does in Age of Innocence, usually gets labeled as comedy of manners, which I guess is more fitting here.
GLK: Oh, I didn’t mean to suggest that it was straight satire, and, yes, the character that you’re hardest on–by a serious margin–is the more obvious authorial stand-in. But it seemed to me that even in that critique you’re playing games, no? To what extent did you identify with that person? That character is not, after all, a writer.
TT: I identify a lot, though no more or less than with the other protagonists. The difference with Will is that I didn’t try to demurely abstract the character Will from myself, but to deliberately bait comparisons with him. Of course, no matter the degree of similarity, all such comparisons are technically invalid, at best mildly interesting; to write a true authorial surrogate would entail a degree of knowledge and perspective on oneself that I don’t think anybody has.
So what I did was a form of malicious compliance, undermining a system by strictly obeying its rules, the system in this case being racism. Since I knew I’d be identified with my Asian character anyway, I rigged it so that doing so would force critics to make blatantly racist surmises, to expose what we’re dealing with. That is, if they’re going to try to essentialize my character’s Asianness, they’ll have to go through me. This sort of accelerationist approach could backfire big time but it seemed better than doing some tedious fictional jig to distract readers from the Asian man behind the curtain.
GLK: Wait, I didn’t totally catch that. Tell me a little more about Will, and your authorial relationship to him. What does it mean that for a reader to identify you two, he or she would have to make blatantly racist surmises? I want you to pursue this accelerationist idea a little further. It seems to me to get to the heart of the book.
TT: The conventional realist approach, I mean Cheever-Updike realism, is all about restraint and subtlety. My deal with this book was to go the other way and overindulge as much as possible, and part of that was to not pussyfoot around race. The way people usually try to ameliorate racism in mainstream narrative is to take a stereotype and just flip it around—so Harold and Kumar are stoners who get with hot women, Glenn is a brave and virtuous fighter who gets with a hot woman. Fresh Off the Boat is basically an Asian-American Leave it to Beaver. There’s a Mary Sue-ism to this approach that strikes me as both dishonest and equally beholden to cliché, whatever social benefit it may accomplish.
My attempt here is to inflate the stereotypes to their absolute limit, and yet still subvert them by making them intelligible in a social and psychological context, showing that whatever stereotypes exist are largely a matter of perception and are dwarfed by the complexities of individual character. It’s a big risk, because uncareful readers will just see the stereotypical qualities and immediately freak out. Philip Roth does it in Portnoy’s Complaint, Mary Gaitskill in Bad Behavior, Junot Diaz in his Yunior stories. All of them have been criticized for promoting stereotypes, when to me they’re doing the very opposite, on a higher level: they’re blowing apart the reductiveness of stereotype itself. I think what really pisses people off is that they also seem to be having fun doing it.
Will is a short, angry, repressed, chronically rejected techie with awesome grades and strict parents. He also biographically resembles me a lot, and that’s the bait. It is a breach of critical professionalism to assume a fictional character’s thoughts or circumstances reflect the author’s, no matter how close the superficial characteristics line up, and race is the most superficial of all. And to reflexively assume that one Asian character’s wholesale experience is a comment on Asianness, well, that’s just racism. When I said earlier that I deliberately made my characters’ biographies line up with mine, I meant it was a method I used to guide my treatment of them; a critic has no business drawing those connections, either to me or to Asian people in general. Yet I’m waiting for one to say that Will “captures the Asian-American experience,” or to single him out as “deeply personal” in a way that the other characters aren’t. I want the subtext of these criticisms—that they secretly believe Asians really are chinks, and here’s an Asian author who agrees with us—to be made explicit.
If this means there’s going to be some kind of chinkquisition where I’m accused of making Asians look bad, well, it wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened in literary history. It’d be terribly ironic, since nobody’s angrier about the way Asians are represented than me. There’s not much I can do about racist readers who’re going to interchange Will with other Asians, simply because that’s the nature of stereotype, especially regarding Asians. (It’s no accident, either, that Will’s own greatest anxiety is of looking bad because he’s Asian.)
When I say “chink,” by the way, I’m using the word to evoke the racism against Asians that a stunningly large number of people would like to minimize or pretend doesn’t exist. People see us as chinks. I don’t know a more straightforward way of saying that.
GLK: He is lampooned here for his digital habits—he’s addicted to porn, he’s obsessed with his own engineering and computational skills. He’s the character that, to my mind, stands in for young-tech San Francisco.
TT: If any character does, I’d say it’s his girlfriend Vanya. The main difference between them is that Vanya wants to be seen, and she derives validation from her online audience. She embodies the “social” part of social media, one that valorizes sharing, transparency, publicity, positivity, branding, and sincerely believes in technology as the key to liberation and empowerment. She’s managed to monetize her identity as a paraplegic woman.
Will is the opposite. He’s introverted, resentful; the only validation he cares about is Vanya’s, and he uses technology instead to hide and surveil, orders all his groceries and booze online, has forgotten how to mail a letter, etc. But his digital gluttony and techno-utopianism are less exaggerated than it might seem to anyone who’s hasn’t lived there. It’s pretty satire-resistant—if I write a novel with characters wearing T-shirts that say “DESIGN WILL SAVE THE WORLD” or wondering aloud why elderly people would take public transportation instead of Uber, or have tech billionaires comparing themselves to Jews in Nazi Germany, it would seem heavy-handed. Yet it’s true.
What I tried to address instead is the broader and more timeless phenomena of money and privilege, and how they callus you and foster arrogance by insulating you from ever hearing the word “no” and depriving you of any sense of proportion. If someone throws a million VC dollars at you, your ego is going to do some pretty wild pirouettes to convince you that you deserve it.
What’s worse is that these attitudes get hailed as forward-thinking rational humanism, when it’s just neo-neoliberalism. Back in 2008, Steve Jobs, who delivered the commencement speech at my graduation, was sneering at the idea of e-readers because people don’t read anymore. That more people might be encouraged to read if books were accessible on his devices never seems to have occurred to him; what mattered was that he thought it wouldn’t sell. The part when Vanya says that books are paywalls—that wasn’t made up. I remember the CEO of 37Signals wrote, “I don’t read fiction. I find it a waste of time. There are so many amazing things that are real; I don’t need to spend any time on a made-up story,” before going on to say that he loves Curb Your Enthusiasm and House M.D. Silicon Valley loves talks. It thinks books, as a content distribution platform, are boringly impervious to disruption.
I’m not going to be the one to yodel about how everyone in tech is a head-in-ass libertarian tech-bro philistine, though those do exist. I know plenty of good, thoughtful people in tech who support the humanities with their time and money, socially skew progressive, and some are more or less radical. The question is who’s exerting the most influence on culture, and I think that’s been answered.
GLK: Take me back to your own youth in San Francisco c. 2007-ish. Where are the beginnings of this novel? As a young writer in that very engineering-heavy milieu, what’s the stirring there?
TT: Like my characters, I was two years out of college, dissatisfied, resentful, well-off, and completely blocked. I harbored vague writing ambitions but a definite sense that they wouldn’t be realized as long as I was working. My job title was User Experience Researcher, and my job was mainly to intercept visitors to our clients’ websites via pop-up form, have them launch screensharing browser plugins in exchange for a $75 Amazon gift card, and watch them use the website while talking to us over the phone. Sometimes the users would be in Singapore or Hong Kong or India and we’d have to come into work at midnight. We’d observe and record common mistakes and complaints, design feasible recommendations based on user-centered design heuristics (and other stuff we made up to fit our idea of what good design was, which we called “expert analysis”), and report them to our clients. I also co-wrote a methodology book with a preface written by the guy who coined the word blog.
When I wasn’t working, I was either reading books or going to bars and parties and trying to get people to like me. Whenever people asked what I did, especially in Silicon Valley, I never said I was a writer, was instead careful to reply, “I’ve published some stories” or “I’m into fiction writing,” and then finally, “I work in tech. UX. You?” I still knew I wanted to write, but the stirring, if you can call it that, was just a crude, formless angst over not having accomplished anything I was particularly proud of, nothing that I thought represented me in any way. The book came out of me only after prolonged, painful yanking.
GLK: Right, and that’s something I can absolutely identify with, as someone who went through the same process in the same place just a few years before you did. But when I lived in San Francisco, it had regained some of its shabby appeal, and as a young, annoying, self-absorbed writer in that city, at least I never felt confronted with staggering wealth and accomplishment everywhere.
TT: Yeah, it was a really accommodating place to be a self-absorbed writer. There was no publishing dogfight to get caught up in.
GLK: But I left in 2007, when Private Citizens takes place, and I know that was right around the time that it got increasingly difficult to do anything there that wasn’t immediately instrumental and profitable. You must’ve been watching your peers become very rich, no? All of this stuff is most pointed in the depiction of the book’s political activist, who has to deal with commercial pressures that threaten to undermine her campaign. What was it like to be a writer in a sea of rich, young, entitled, energetically pragmatic engineers?
TT: I didn’t stand out much. For one thing, I was getting paid too, and since I had no illusions that I deserved it, it made me super guilty and anxious. Money flew out of my ass and went to carbon offsets and KQED and Amnesty International and random people’s medical bills. Lord knows there’s more than one artist manqué in the tech world, and most of the people I ended up making friends with were just trying to fund their art projects. As for everyone else, as much as I’d cringe when people bragged about being the Foursquare mayor of their favorite brunch spot, or audibly nutted when they got an RT from Robert Scoble, I always had to check my contempt because I knew I was not only participating but making bank off it. Again, all the stuff that reads as satire just drags me down along with it.
Which isn’t to suggest I was an exemplary worker—I did lots of writing at my desk, though not much of it stuck. I hadn’t found my way out of my undergrad mode.
GLK: I remember reading an award-winning story you wrote as an undergraduate, in what must’ve been like 2005. It was about a girl and her father in the woods of Alaska. How did you get from the woods to Dolores Park?
TT: That story was like the fourth one I’d ever written. I was under deadline for a fiction workshop, and stuck on the usual novice block of what to write about. My roommate was from rural Alaska, and the stories he told me about it—owning 14 cats and a deer, watching MTV by pedal-powered generator—seemed like obviously great material: an excitingly unusual setting, whose isolation unburdened me from addressing all that troublesome social context I was incapable of describing. Plus, what else would I write about?
All of my early stories are like that, because I operated under the assumption that really good fiction required writing about people and experiences as different from yours as possible. I was rewarded for it—as you mentioned, it won some awards. “Thinly veiled memoir” is a cudgel critics use to write off any blatantly autobiographical fiction; the presumption is that such writing was inherently underhanded, unimaginative, or navel-gazing. Sure, it can be, but then, like, Proust?
The irony is that my novel mines that exact uneventful Stanford period, and the dissipated years after, for most of its material. The artistry in a work of fiction is never contingent on its subject. Problems arise only when a single sensibility begins to dominate the field, to the point that the “literariness” of other fiction is judged in relation to it. If I felt that books about twentysomethings living in cities were considered the model of exemplary literary writing, instead of self-indulgent bourgeois middlebrow fare, it’d be a lot less attractive. I’m at a point where I prefer writing about subjects that are considered unsexy and unseemly and minor, things that are supposed to be beneath the dignity of a writer.
GLK: One of the things I most admired about the book was its ability to be crude and ugly. People have compared the prose to Amis, and I can see the grounds for the comparison. It seems to me that the book, at least in places, suggests that the kind of gentle literary lyricism you’ve described isn’t the right tone for engaging properly with issues of race and class. Did you think that there’s a connection there?
TT: Yeah, that’s more or less it. Standards of etiquette, decorum, and taste are all bound up in authority and popularity, two things I really want to avoid catering to. Nothing gets praised more than writing by bourgeois writers for bourgeois audiences that’s supremely anodyne, sentimental, or “lyrical,” i.e. uses anaphora and metaphors. The kind that reinforces people’s sense of their own virtue or discernment, or makes them feel like they’re being informed. The moral behind these, and there’s always a moral, is usually something like atrocities are bad and death is sad and love conquers all but sex is numero fuckin’ uno. History repeats itself and foreign countries are way foreign, plus, oppression: can you believe it?
I say this, of course, as a former writer of exactly this kind of fiction, like the award-winning Alaska story. I like beautiful heartfelt writing, but there’s way less of that than writing that cynically or naively dresses itself in styles we’re meant to see as beautiful and heartfelt, and the same goes for serious or, in more limited ways, political writing. There’s a Philip Roth line about this: “To write a serious book that doesn’t signal its seriousness with the rhetorical cues or thematic gravity that’s traditionally associated with seriousness is a worthy undertaking too.” Comedy is usually the approach to this.
So certain kinds of controlled rudeness can be subversive. I’m not talking about Family Guy punching-down, or South Park-style know-it-all rants, or Chuck Palahniuk-style gross-out fare, which are all actually just negative forms of etiquette. I mean an approach to writing that gleefully shits on whatever literary pretenses are around, while providing its own satisfactions. | {

Q:
How to generate a vector space by repeated powers of a square matrix?
Let $K$ be a field, like $\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$, and let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional $K$-vector space. Let us fix a nonzero vector $v\in V$ and a square matrix $A$ of order $n$.
Under what conditions on $A$ do we have that the set of vectors
$\{A\cdot v\,|\,a\geq 0\}$ spans $V$?
I was trying to prove that if $A$ has maximal rank then
$$\{A^i\cdot v\,|\,0\leq i\leq n-1\}\subset V$$ is a basis, but maybe this is false.
Any hint would be very much appreciated!
J.
A:
Yes, if $A$ has maximal rank, or equivalently, $\ker A=\{0\}$, or, $\det A\ne 0$.
Try to prove e.g. that if a linear map $\phi:V\to W$ is injective (i.e. $\ker\phi=\{0\}$) then it maps linearly independent sets to linearly independent sets.
Wait, wait.. I might have misunderstood the question.
You mean $\{A^i\cdot v\ \mid\ i\ge 0\}$ for a fixed $v$.
Well, for that, the condition that $A$ is invertible is not even necessary , and neither is sufficient.
E.g. with a basis $v_1,..,v_n$, consider the linear map that maps $v_i\to v_{i+1}$ and $v_n\to 0$. This has nontrivial kernel, but - together with $v_1=A^0v_1$ - it satisfies the condition.
For the other direction, take $A$ the unit matrix, then $\{A^iv\mid i\ge0\}=\{v\}$ can be a basis only in dimension $1$.
Hint: For the given vector $v$, define $v_n:=A^nv$, and denote $r$ the first number such that $v_0,\dots,v_r$ is linearly dependent.
Show that $v_0,\dots,v_{r-1}$ generates all $v_n$'s, hence $\dim\langle v_n\rangle_{n\ge0}=r$, so we must have $r=n$ by hypothesis. What is the matrix when transforming $A$ to basis $(v_0,\dots,v_{r-1})$?

Ethylenediamine modified starch as biosorbent for acid dyes.
This work investigated the sorption performance of the ethylenediamine modified starch (CAS) for the removal of acid dyes from aqueous solutions. The influence of pH on adsorption of acid orange 10 (AO10), acid green 25 (AG25) and amido black 10B (AB10B) was evaluated. The sorption kinetics, equilibrium uptake and desorption of the loaded dyes in sodium sulfate solution were studied. It was found that the interaction mechanism was based on electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding. The adsorption of AG25 and AB10B followed pseudo-second-order model, whereas AO10 followed both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The best isotherm was Langmuir equation and the capacities followed the sequence AB10B>AG25>AO10. The different behaviors of individual dyes adsorption on CAS were largely dependent on the number of hydrophilic functional groups, which had strong tendency to form hydrogen bonds with the biosorbent. Dye release in sodium sulfate solutions was determined by the salt concentration and nature of dyes. | {

Typically, vehicles such as automobiles are occasionally installed with a traction control apparatus and the like to prevent drive slip. There has been known that, when an acceleration operation, a low-μ-road driving or the like causes drive slip, such a traction control apparatus performs a braking control of a brake and driving control of an engine to generate appropriate traction on wheels, thereby preventing wheel slip.
When the traction control apparatus is installed in a two-wheel-drive car, a vehicle speed can easily be estimated by detecting rotation speeds of driven wheels (not driving wheels) by a sensor and the like.
However, since all wheels of all-wheel-drive vehicles such as a four-wheel-car are driving wheels, all the wheels may generate drive slip. Accordingly, it is difficult to accurately estimate a vehicle speed only by detecting rotation speeds of all the wheels.
For this reason, there has been proposed a technique for estimating a vehicle speed of such an all-wheel-drive vehicle installed with a rotation speed sensor for wheels and an acceleration sensor, the technique including selecting a select wheel to be referred based on a rotation speed of each of the wheels by the rotation speed sensor and estimating the vehicle speed based on an output from the acceleration sensor (see, for instance, Patent Literature 1). | {

Ontario Highway 535
Secondary Highway 535, commonly referred to as Highway 535, is a provincially maintained secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. Passing through the municipalities of Markstay-Warren, St. Charles and French River, the highway extends , generally south to north, from a junction with Highway 64 at Noelville to Riviere Veuve, intersecting Highway 17 in the village of Hagar along the way.
Route description
Highway 535 is a generally straight route oriented in a north–south direction through parts of the Canadian Shield. The two lane highway begins at a junction with Highway 64 in the town of Noëlville, where it is known as David Street North. It proceeds directly north in a straight line for almost , crossing the Wolseley River en route. The highway eventually diverges from its straight course prior to crossing the French River at West Arm. It zigzags its way north through rough terrain for several kilometres, passing through several rock outcroppings.
Eventually, the route straightens once more, then curves east and enters St. Charles. Within the village, drivers must turn at a stop sign to remain on Highway 535. From here the highway once again resumes its straight north–south alignment for , diverging to cross the Nepewassi River, then entering the village of Hagar, where it intersects Highway 17, the Trans Canada Highway. Immediately north of Highway 17, the route crosses the Veuve River and then a rail line. It curves through the boreal forest for over to Rivière-Veuve, where the highway designation ends at an intersection with Sauve Road to the west and Labelle Road to the east. The roadway continues north as Boundary Road into the wilderness.
History
The current route of Highway 535 was first assumed by the Department of Highways in early 1956, along with several dozen other secondary highways. It was likely maintained as a development road prior to that. It formed the final of Highway 556.
Major intersections
The following table lists the major junctions along Highway 535. The entirety of the route is located within Sudbury District.

Samsung is now doing damage control on its flagship Galaxy smartphones.
New reports have surfaced that other Galaxy S7 devices, like the popular Samsung (SSNLF) Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge, have burst into flames -- similar to what happened to the ill-fated Note 7 phone.
In October, Samsung notoriously halted production and sales of the Galaxy Note 7 after failing to correct a problem that caused the devices to explode.
Previously, it was forced to recall 2.5 million Note 7s shortly after the device went on sale in August.
Now Samsung (SSNLF)is reassuring customers other devices in its Galaxy S7 family are safe to use, despite customer complaints.
"There have been no confirmed cases of internal battery failures with these devices among the more than 10 million devices being used by consumers in the United States," the statement said.
Samsung also acknowledged the complaints, citing "several" isolated instances of "external damage."
According to IDC Research, Samsung has the biggest foothold on the global smartphone market, with a 22.8% market share in second quarter of 2016. Most recently, that's been attributed to success around the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
The Galaxy S7, which launched in March, directly competes with Apple's iPhone. Other Samsung fans prefer the Edge, which features a side panel with easy access to favorite apps, contacts and news.
Related: The next victim of Samsung's Note 7 fiasco could be the environment
For now, Samsung is urging users not to draw conclusions about reports related to either product.
"Until Samsung is able to obtain and examine any device, it is impossible to determine the true cause of any incident," the company said. | {

Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the vulva: a case report and review of the literature.
Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm which usually occurs in the kidney of children, but it has also been found in extrarenal sites. MRT arising in the vulva is extremely rare. Only four cases of MRT of the vulva have been reported in the English literature. We herein present another case. The diagnosis and management of vulva MRT are reviewed. | {

Q:
Array of UIButtons return error
I have an array of UIButton objects (I have 5 buttons so I wanted to store them in an array for easy processing). But Array give me error
"Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArray0 addObject:]:
unrecognized selector sent to instance"
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *starOne;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *starTwo;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *starThree;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *starFour;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *starFive;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSMutableArray *_starButtons;
I have below code in viewDidLoad method
- (void)viewDidLoad {
self._starButtons=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[self._starButtons addObject:self.starOne];
[self._starButtons addObject:self.starTwo];
[self._starButtons addObject:self.starThree];
[self._starButtons addObject:self.starFour];
[self._starButtons addObject:self.starFive];
NSLog(@"%@",self._starButtons);
}
Please help me where i am going wrong.
A:
First remove copy from declaration of array property, make it strong.
Second thing as you have said in comment that you have programmatically created buttons then you not need IBOutlets. So, remove IBOutlets from all properties of button.
Your declaration should like,
@property (weak, nonatomic) UIButton *starOne;
@property (weak, nonatomic) UIButton *starTwo;
@property (weak, nonatomic) UIButton *starThree;
@property (weak, nonatomic) UIButton *starFour;
@property (weak, nonatomic) UIButton *starFive;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *_starButtons;

OK, ALRIGHT, YOU WIN
Tue Jan 24, 2012 8:01 pm
This is my 2nd review. I felt the need to review the Underdog Shows that get a bad rap (whether they deserve them or not). My first review was NEW HAVEN 76. I had to break down the show song by song and see for myself…then share my findings. What I found; yes it was a lackluster show, but I still enjoyed it…however I haven’t listened to it since the review.
Today I’m reviewing OK, ALRIGHT, YOU WIN.This show has been beaten to death. But I was surprised at what I found. Although I wasn’t at the show, I feel very close to it and here’s why. In December of 1974 I was very sick with a fever. After missing 3 days of school my fever finally broke late in the evening. I was convalescing in my folk’s bedroom because they had a TV. My mom brought up the mail and there was the current issue of STRICTLY ELVIS.

This was a defining moment in my Elvis World. I was already a year into SERIOUSLY colleting Elvis (with my allowance and lawn mowing money). Not only was it a HUGE bright spot in an almost week long illness (and helped me feel better), it was a defining moment because it was the first time I had ever seen the DRAGON jumpsuit (and read a description of the other new embroidery suits). It really was the beginning era of the jumpsuits having names and the point where we had to go back and GIVE names to the old ones. Prior to this we knew the “Aloha Eagle” and the “Memphis suit” but the rest were just descriptions, not really “named”. This was also the year that Sean Shaver (and the gang) started selling their photo sets (10 photos for $6.50). So there was a need to designate not only the city you were buying a PHOTO SET of, but what suit Elvis wore.For 36 years this show eluded us all. I met Rocky Barra in Pittsburgh for a brief moment. He is a true fan and not one to exaggerate.Here is a scan/excerpt from the actual article that has been debated for so long:

THE SOUNDNot that good. Even for an Audience Recording…I give it a generous 5 out of 10 because I’ve heard worse and the bad sound didn’t bother me the longer I listen it. Collecting this one is more for history and completists, not something you’ll go back to often…other than this debate.
THE COVERThe artwork and accompanying 16 page booklet is nice. The photos are from the shows in Detroit (this actual show) Sept. 29 and Oct. 4 as well as South Bend on Sept. 20. I’ve seen most of the photos before; some appear to have been scanned from copies (seen in other publications more crisp). The text reviews the “myth” coinciding with this show including Rocky Barra’s first hand observations in STRICTLY ELVIS. The graphics have a 70’s Vegas feel, all in all exactly what you want from your import publishers.
We need a BASE LINE to compare Elvis to Elvis…more specifically, so you, as a reader, know where I’m coming from (as a reviewer) and what I enjoy about listening to Elvis. I like the BIG operatic, bombastic notes (yells) he does during HGTA or Hurt, etc. But let’s use TRYING TO GET TO YOU (from the RCA Live in Memphis show in 1974) and LET ME BE THERE (from FTD’s DIXIELAND ROCKS in 1975) as a base line or “(high) standard” that an Elvis show could be measured by. Having seen Elvis 4 times, I can assure you that a BAD Elvis show was as good as any other performer in the 1970’s. Excitement and charisma of just being there could carry the show. (Actually that’s not really a good thing – an artist resting on his laurels…but that’s for another thread).So 5 = close to TTGTY and/or LMBT. 3 = Standard - EXACATLY what we know/love and expect from most Elvis shows. 1 = Poor, tired, unfocused, sick.
My thoughts on the show then and now has always been…”it could NOT have been THAT bad.” (I’m listening as I type) So let’s see:1). CC Rider – Great version right off the bat…the big notes are THERE. The crowd goes nuts at the first “Welllllllllllll.” No slurring of the words (but the nature of the AR renders some of the dialogue in audible). (4 – this was way better than I expected).
2). I Got A Woman – Good version, powerful singing. He and the crowd both seem to be into the “strip tease” drum/shaky legs bit…so much so he skips the Dive Bomber spot with JD. (5 – because of NO dive bomb…something different).
3). Love Me – The song is drowned out by the audience’s reaction to the scarf throwing. Great ending! (4 – this too was better than I expected).
4). If you Love Me – The crowd is lovin’ it, clapping along. Standard version. (3 – remember “3” isn’t bad…its what we expect in the best of circumstances).
5). It’s Midnight – Since the song is new…there is NO reaction from the crowd, since this would be their first time hearing it. Elvis is into it telling Ronnie to “Take it! Take it!” A FANTASTIC POWERFUL ENDING! (5 – just what I’m looking for).
11). Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel – He’s having fun…but it’s a through away version…which is standard. The crowd is clapping to the beat and there is an extended ending. (3).
12). Don’t Be Cruel (reprise) – So he starts jamming to the ending and starts it over (for one verse). (4 for something different).
13). Intros – Interestingly enough he starts the intro with VOICE and I’m assuming that they are on the right side of the stage, then goes to the Sweets, then to the Stamps (on his left). He introduces the Stamps individually. (3).
14). When It’s My Time – It’s a spontaneous moment that worked at Hampton Rds ON TOUR. (3 - This is good, but not Elvis singing).
21). Killing Me Softly – great song…but this was a pace killer – however it’s incomplete here. I’m sure the crowd was disappointed that VOICE was going to sing it. (2 – just for pacing and not Elvis).
22). Let Me Be There – The reprise is better than what was on the MEMPHIS LP from March. The beginning of the song is cut off. There is some funny banter with the audience to take off his shirt. Elvis thanks the audience…”cause we’ve been here 3 times.” He remembered that? Sometimes he gets afternoon and evening shows mixed up…or says in 1975 “we did this (JUST PRETEND) about 3 years ago.”…but he was totally focused on WHERE he is; (even Springsteen and McCarntey have had city fas paux – it’s understandable, but he's focused here). (4).
23). Hawaiian Wedding Song – nice soft version. (2 – not the best).
24). Can’t Help Falling in Love – I love this, “…wise men say…” the crowd does a mix of “Awlllll” it’s over, and still clapping of approval. He hit’s the last note…but no gusto, so this is below standard version. (2).
After analyzing the show, it almost appears that Elvis started out in great form and in a fantastic mood but he PEAKED with OK, ALRIGHT, YOU WIN. KILLING ME SOFTLY must have killed the mood. Interestingly enough it’s not until the last 2 songs where he drops the ball, I can’t tell if he got tired or bored.
So let’s do the math. If we can agree a great show, we all know and love…is, let’s say, all 3s and 4s (for me the Aloha Concert); 24 tracks = 84.
I absolutely respect Pastor Barra on every level. If not for him and STRICTLY ELVIS, I wouldn’t have so much fun on THIS forum. His review isn’t totally off. The Notre Dame show a couple days later isn’t so bad, it suffers from a bad cassette recorded in a hall with bad acoustics. And for that matter, I don’t see College Park as being a bad show. What is bad is that no other biographer after Rocky’s report bothered (for 30 years) to do any research (except Darrin Lee). But you really can’t blame the 100s of authors who looked to STRICTLY ELVIS as the gospel (no pun intended). Because IT WAS! Why question it? Even Sean Shaver said that the Oct 74 Tour had its “Ups and Downs”. What other research could be done until the recording surfaced recently? The 8mm footage doesn’t tell us much.
But there are shows where Elvis really WAS sick; Vegas (Feb 15, 73) and Baltimore ’77…not sure if “sick” is the word for Baltimore, but he left the stage….these shows don’t get a bum rap like the Oct. 74 Tour. There are FAR more lackluster shows in 1976 than these.
My personal feeling is that Elvis was on uppers that made him talkative…the whole October ’74 tour (and Aug/Sept Vegas too). So the rambling dialogue I find entertaining…albeit maybe unprofessional…and with Desert Storm…he was just PISSED!!! [With the help of amphetamine...or SOMETHING). As for Detroit Oct. 29th there simply are no slurred words, no bad language, no leaning on the mic stand and certainly not a SHORT show. Rocky must have been put off by the NON Elvis songs as he wrote;1). “Only sang 14 songs”….we’ll that’s kinda true.2). “Voice and the Stamps sang 3 songs”….that’s true.3). “No Show stoppers (Trilogy, Bridge Polk)”...ok, this is also true…we can start to see his train of thought.4). “used the worst and unnecessary language from the stage I’ve ever heard”…Nope! This happened in Vegas for sure, but not in Detroit. Or maybe there is something hidden that we can’t tell from the AR, Elvis wasn’t mumbling, the cassette mic didn’t pick up everything – the crowded didn’t seem offended at his language.
Since I was sick the night I first read this…in some of the photos Elvis does look tired…that or having a fever, so I could relate since I was feeling the same, especially the Notre Dame photos, SOME (not all) having him looking a little weary.
Rocky Barra’s last words on the subject were; “But I think there is something else involved too.”
THAT we can all agree on!

Q:
How to get a unique smart card ID?
I'm searching for a way to find a unique number for every smart card I work with. I have heard there are IC Fabrication date, IC Serial Number and IC Batch Identifier that are unique for every card.
how can I get these information from my card?
A:
Surely every hardware supplier integrates information like the mentioned into the chip. This unfortunately leaves the following problems:
The information may or may not be made available by the operating system
There is little in common between several hardware suppliers beneath the one byte manufacturer ID, which is maintained globally (see e.g. chip manufacturer byte); so x and y coordinates on the wafer may be on different offsets depending on manufacturer and the length of this block may even vary depending on the chip. In any case the hardware reference manual is required.
Summary: If you need an unique information, the specification must have stated this at the very beginning, most likely via a specified instruction to retrieve it. In a multi-supplier environment everything else is likely to fail. The only remaining choice is, to add a sort of ID as user data under your own management.
Appended by Abraham:
As the question is tagged with javacard, we conclude that your card is a GlobalPlatform compatible card.
1: For GP cards, the SD (Security Domain: A mandatory applet that is installed on the card by default) is responsible for returning card specific data including IC Fabrication date, IC Serial Number and IC Batch Identifier, etc. As long as you didn't use a secure channel between the card and the off-card entity, you can't trust the SD response. But why? Because any malicious user can write a simple applet with AID equal to your card SD's AID that returns his/her arbitrary data to your command and install it on a smart card and make it default selected. In this case when he/she put the card on your readers, his applet answers to your off-card application command and you can't detect fake cards.
2: As dear guidot mentioned above, different card may or may not support equal commands to return these card specific data.
So, I suggest you to add a pair of setSerialNumber() and getSerialNumber() methods to your applet and implement a secure channel between your offcard and your applet to be sure about uniqueness of your cards.

6 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a
7 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby
8 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review is
9 DENIED.
10 Petitioner Yishou Lin, a native and citizen of the People’s
11 Republic of China, seeks review of a May 16, 2014, decision of
12 the BIA affirming a February 14, 2012, decision of an
13 Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying Lin’s application for asylum,
14 withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against
15 Torture (“CAT”). In re Yishou Lin, No. A201 119 987 (B.I.A.
16 May 16, 2014), aff’g No. A201 119 987 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City Feb.
17 14, 2012). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the
18 underlying facts and procedural history in this case.
19 We have reviewed the IJ’s decision as modified by the BIA,
20 i.e., minus the basis for denying relief that the BIA declined
21 to consider (the IJ’s finding that Lin’s asylum application was
22 untimely and the IJ’s denial of CAT relief). See Xue Hong Yang
23 v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 426 F.3d 520, 522 (2d Cir. 2005). The
24 applicable standards of review are well established. See
2
1 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); see also Yanqin Weng v. Holder, 562
2 F.3d 510, 513 (2d Cir. 2009).
3 Past Persecution
4 It is undisputed that Lin is not eligible for asylum solely
5 on the basis of his wife’s forced family planning procedures.
6 See Shi Liang Lin v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 494 F.3d 296, 309-310
7 (2d Cir. 2007). Nevertheless, he can still qualify for asylum
8 or withholding of removal by demonstrating that: (1) he engaged
9 in “resistance” to the family planning policy; and (2) he
10 suffered harm rising to the level of persecution, or he has a
11 well-founded fear or likelihood of suffering such harm as a
12 direct result of his resistance. Id. at 313; see also 8 U.S.C.
13 § 1101(a)(42); 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(b).
14 The agency did not err in finding that, even assuming that
15 Lin engaged in resistance to the family planning policy, he
16 failed to establish that he suffered persecution on account of
17 that resistance. Although he claimed that family planning
18 officials beat him, he did not allege that he suffered any
19 serious or lasting harm as a result. See Jian Qiu Liu v. Holder,
20 632 F.3d 820, 822 (2d Cir. 2011) (“We have never held that a
21 beating that occurs within the context of an arrest or detention
22 constitutes persecution per se.”); Mei Fun Wong v. Holder, 633
3
1 F.3d 64, 72 (2d Cir. 2011) (“We have emphasized that persecution
2 is an extreme concept that does not include every sort of
3 treatment our society regards as offensive.” (internal
4 quotation marks omitted)). Furthermore, Lin did not allege
5 that the family planning fine imposed caused him “severe
6 economic disadvantage” as required to demonstrate economic
7 persecution. In re T-Z-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 163, 170-75 (BIA 2007);
8 see also Guan Shan Liao v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 293 F.3d 61,
9 70 (2d Cir. 2002). Because Lin did not demonstrate past
10 persecution, he was not entitled to a presumption of a
11 well-founded fear of future persecution. See 8 C.F.R.
12 § 1208.13(b)(1).
13 Well-Founded Fear of Persecution
14 Absent past persecution, an applicant may establish
15 eligibility for asylum by demonstrating a well-founded fear of
16 future persecution, 8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(b)(2), which must be
17 both subjectively credible and objectively reasonable,
18 Ramsameachire v. Ashcroft, 357 F.3d 169, 178 (2d Cir. 2004).
19 The agency reasonably found speculative Lin’s fear of
20 persecution under the family planning policy because he lived
21 unharmed in China from his 2001 altercation with family planning
22 officials until his departure from that country in 2010. See
4
1 Jian Xing Huang v. INS, 421 F.3d 125, 129 (2d Cir. 2005) (holding
2 that a fear is not objectively reasonable if it lacks “solid
3 support” in the record and is merely “speculative at best”).
4 That finding was dispositive of asylum and withholding of
5 removal because those claims were based on the same factual
6 predicate. See Paul v. Gonzales, 444 F.3d 148, 156-57 (2d Cir.
7 2006).
8 For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is
9 DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of removal
10 that the Court previously granted in this petition is VACATED,
11 and any pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition
12 is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument
13 in this petition is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of
14 Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule
15 34.1(b).
16 FOR THE COURT:

Restraint (W) – The ability to withstand temptation.
Stopping yourself from doing things that are bad.
When you do not practice restraint, you engage in self destructive behavior or behavior that hurts others. White resists temptation.
Mind (U) – The ability to understand abstract ideas through conscious thought.
Blue focuses on developing its higher cognitive thinking. It is good at methodical reasoning, problem solving, and learning quickly. Mind’s domain is conscious knowledge.
When you don’t think you do stupid things and those mistakes stop you from being better.
Motivation (B) –having a willingness to pursue your self-interest or goals.
Willing things to happen. Doing things that accomplish what you want even if they involve hardship. It is hard to pursue what is good for you, it is not always immediately gratifying and it can piss off other people.
If you lack Motivation then you will not take control of your life and you cannot be happy. This is Blacks way of taking responsibility for its happiness
Emotion Intelligence ( R ) – the capacity to be aware of, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.
Knowing yourself and others. No one understand themselves better than Red because Red focuses on its emotions more than anyone. This gives Red the ability to understand people on a level no one else can. This involves constantly asking yourself how you feel.
If you lack emotional intelligence you cannot understand how you feel. If you don’t understand how you feel then you cant act on your feelings. If your emotions tell you how to act and you don’t understand them, then you don’t know how to act.
Intuition(G) - A developed subconscious understanding of how events will happen based on observations or sensory data.
Represents your ability to pay attention to the world around you through perceptiveness and hunches. Having presence of mind.
If you don’t pay attention to the world then you can’t see how the world works. If you don’t listen to your gut then you can’t understand who you are.
Shared attributes-
The attribute of one color naturally bleeds into its allies because it is like its allies. A color also lacks the attributes of its enemies because they are unlike.
White has excellent Restraint as well as good Mind and Intuition, but lacks Emotional Intelligence and Motivation.
White excels at resisting temptation. White is good at understanding abstract concepts because it is Blues ally. White is good at noticing the world around it and understanding how events will develop based on hunches because it is allies with Green. White lacks the ability to understand emotions on a deep level since it is a enemy of Red and lacks the ability to pursue individual goals because it is an enemy of Black.
Blue has excellent Mind as well as good Restraint and Motivation, but lacks Emotional Intelligence and Intuition.

Green is good at understanding emotions on a deep level because it is an ally with Red. Green lacks an ability to understand abstract concepts through conscious thought because it is an enemy of Blue and lacks the ability to pursue individual goals because it is an enemy of Black.
You may want to say that each color has a shared attribute and not one main one. This leads to some difficulties. If White and Blue equally share Mind then they are both equally good at using conscious thought to understand abstract ideas and it is only manifested differently based on White being Restrained and Blue being Motivated. I don’t think this is true. Blue is better at Mind that White, they both use Mind differently, but Blue has better Mind than White. The same goes for the other attributes.
Why is this useful?
If you like understanding the color pie then this doesn’t need to be useful outside of that. This post shows what colors attributes are. Attributes are distinguished from the philosophical positions that the colors hold. The main Attributes are the practical result of holding the two philosophical positions a color has.
White holds that it is better to serve others, and better to follow the rules. White needs an attribute that accomplishes both serving others and following the rules. White becomes Restrained because if you do not give into temptations you will respect others and follow the rules. Since it is the case that peoples interests collide if people do not give into the temptation of screwing the other over, then everyone benefits since everyone is not trying screw each other over. Since White knows that doing some actions feel good in the moment, but will be detrimental later on, it has rules that stop it from doing those self-harming actions. But it needs a way of following the rules, which is through not giving into temptation.
Blue holds that it is best to think things through before acting, and that it is good to strive for better. Mind lets you understand because consciously understanding abstract ideas is the definition of understanding according to Blue. If you understand then you are able to think things through because you can consider what will happen. In addition, when you understand you are less likely to make a mistake, and mistakes make you worse. If you do not make any mistakes then you will always be becoming better.
Black holds that it is best to act according to your self-interest, and that you have control of your life. Ambition lets you control your life to the benefit of yourself because it makes you resilient to hardship. Since hardship stops people from pursuing self-interest, if you are okay with hardship then you can pursue your self interest. In addition, given that hardship stops people from thinking they can control their lives, if you become okay with hardship then you can control your life.
Red holds that it is best to act on whims and act often. Emotional Intelligence lets you act on whims and acts often because it allows you to pays attention to how it feels in the moment. If you pay attention to how you feel then you always will always have emotions to act on, since you are always feeling something. In addition, if emotion causes you to act, finding out what emotions you are feeling will give you the ability to act all the time.
Green holds that it is best to accept fate, and accept who you are. Intuition lets you do both of these. To accept fate you need to see how fate works. Intuition makes you focus on the world. When you notice how the world works you see that nothing is unaffected by an external force, something always causes something else why would your actions be any different. But you also have to accept your nature, and you cannot accept your nature if you do not know what your nature is. To understand your nature you focus on what your nature is telling you.
Qualifications-
This is an examination of what mono color attributes are like.
If you strongly exhibit one of the attributes, you are probably at least partially that color because you have the main strength of that color. This is also not supposed to exclusively determine what color someone is. If you do not exhibit any of these traits it does not mean you are colorless. Valuing attributes also ties you to a color. If you want more Motivation then you are aiming to be like Black, you just don’t have the skills that Black has. A Character who is in part Blue can value being “smart” (Mind) but not actually be smart. White may really want to resist temptation but may not be able. Green may really want to pay attention to itself and the world but it may not be able to. Red may really want to pay attention to its emotions but it may not be able to.
The Process-
This part is useful to read if you want to understand how I came up the color attributes.
The easy part of this was figuring out Green and Blue. I used their definitions based on this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/31jgrk/what_wisdom_really_is/
They are the DnD attributes of Intelligence and Wisdom as defined in the post linked above exclusively! However, instead of using intelligence i used Mind. Mind gives you a better idea of what Blue is about since Blue is drawn towards abstract ideas through conscious thinking, this seems like it goes along well with Mind. Calling Blue intelligence implies that Red and Green lack any knowledge, they do not! Red and Green know things that Blue does not (according to them at least).
Wisdom is misleading it implies Green characters are mystic gurus on top of a mountain giving out advice. This is not representative of Greens main attribute. Intuition implies a subconscious understanding of how events will play out based on observations or sensory data. This does not mean Green does not give good advice, it does, but so does Blue and the other colors too. Blues advice is based on abstract concepts Greens is based on hunches.
I used this post to understand Charisma. https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/3b4xjx/charisma_is_not_how_likeable_you_are/
As far as I can tell, DnD has charisma as a composite of multiple attributes. Willpower and Emotional Intelligence. There are plenty of people who have Emotional Intelligence but lack Willpower and this is how Red is represented to an extent. Red is good at looking within and acting based on its desires but lacks Restraint. It cannot stop it self from doing things it ‘shouldnt’.
I have also split willpower in two, the power to do, and the power to not do because of how Black and White characters are presented. Black characters are often presented as someone who ruthlessly pursues their goals but likes to, and cannot resist, self-indulgence. They have Motivation but not Restraint. White characters are often presented as characters that can withstand temptation but do not try to make their lives better through enduring hardship. They have Restraint but not Motivation. Each deals with hardship, but for different reasons. White endures hardship when the world makes life hard but Black makes life hard for itself to reap the rewards. White is good at passive willpower. Black is good at active willpower.
As an analogy, if someone offered a White character $1 mil to murder someone he would not, because even though it is hard to, he is able to resist the temptation to kill someone for $1mil. A Black character offered the same amount would kill the person because he is unable to deal with the hardship of resisting. This shows how each color deals with passive willpower.
Another analogy, a White farmer who lacks problems will continue to do the same thing because life is okay, the farmer is unwilling to make life harder. A Black farmer who lacks problems will find ways to get more through hard work because life is only okay, and is willing to make life harder. This shows how the colors deal with active willpower.
I slightly modified the definitions of Emotional intelligence and Motivation as google defines them to come up with my own definitions.
Even in DnD charisma manifests itself differently based on classes as they are stereo-typically thought of, The Paladin is Restrained, The Sorcerer has Emotional Intelligence, and the Warlock is Motivated. The Paladin is restrained because his power comes from resisting temptation to do wrong actions and by training consistently. The Sorcerer draws its power through its emotions and understanding itself. The Warlock is willing to take actions no one else would because he is more driven towards his goals than other people. If I was feeling less creative Restraint would be called WontPower and Motivation would be Called WillPower.
Make sure you check out all of these posts as they were useful for understand what a color wants. (thank Yama951 of reddit for putting them in one place)

Haunted history of Pippbrook sparks new life into campaign to save former library

THE battle to save Pippbrook House from falling into the hands of developers took a spooky twist this week as the haunted history of the 18th-century building re-emerged.
The ghostly goings-on at Dorking's former library came back into the spotlight after a Facebook post on the Community Hub in Pippbrook's (CHiP) page.
The group is in the midst of a fight to have the property deemed an asset of community value, thereby delaying any possible development.
Pippbrook House was originally built in the 1750s by William Page and later served as the home of William Crawford MP.
It was demolished and rebuilt by William Henry Forman, a master of Glamorgan Ironworks, who erected a gothic renaissance mansion house at the site in 1856.
The mansion stopped being a residential property in 1928 as the cost of maintaining the building was too high.
Mole Valley District Council bought the house and some of the grounds – now subject to a sell-off – and installed library facilities in 1934. Pippbrook was then used as an office block before becoming a library again in 1986 and was closed in 2011.
But now spooky stories of a woman in a long dress walking the corridors of the gothic building and a butler who spends his nights watching out the window of the former library, have added to the intrigue.
According to the stories, added to the CHiP page, the spirits have been reported at Pippbrook since at least the 1880s.
Throughout the years others have reported "poltergeistal activity" with knives being thrown down stairs, books being moved in the library and pens and pencils mysteriously piling up in the middle of the room.
Others have reported seeing a woman in a grey or green dress, possibly be a former tenant, walking the corridors.
Posting on the Memories of Dorking Facebook page, Sue Fairbrother said: "When I worked at Pippbrook in the early 1960s there was a caretaker who said he had seen a ghost of a woman in a cloak walking on the top landing."
And the tales have excited the members of CHiP, who say it has added something extra to their campaign.
Sally Elias said: "It started as a bit of light-hearted fun but, interestingly, a number of local people with links to Pippbrook's past have told me about a lady in a green cloak appearing on the stone staircase."
Former Dorking publican Roger Jones added: "It has certainly 'lifted the spirits' of all involved in Pippbrook House." | {

Q:
Sqrt induces a problem in simplifying
We have an expression such as
Sqrt[-2 - d^2 + 2 Sqrt[1 + d^2]] Sqrt[-d^2 - 2 (1 + Sqrt[1 + d^2])]
When we use
FullSimplify[Sqrt[-2 - d^2 + 2 Sqrt[1 + d^2]] Sqrt[-d^2 - 2 (1 + Sqrt[1 + d^2])] ]
The result is nothing simplified.
But when we use
FullSimplify[(-2 - d^2 + 2 Sqrt[1 + d^2]) (-d^2 - 2 - 2 Sqrt[1 + d^2])]
in which we firstly expanded the second expression and after that we multiplied them to each other albeit without the Sqrt.
we can see the result is d^4 and Sqrt[d^4] is d^2.
How can we directly obtain the the most simplified yield from the first expression i.e.,
Sqrt[-2 - d^2 + 2 Sqrt[1 + d^2]] Sqrt[-d^2 - 2 (1 + Sqrt[1 + d^2])]
A:
Your purported solution isn't correct. For example:
Sqrt[-2-d^2+2 Sqrt[1+d^2]] Sqrt[-d^2-2 (1+Sqrt[1+d^2])] /. d->.1
-0.01 + 0. I
It helps to add assumptions:
FullSimplify[
Sqrt[-2-d^2+2 Sqrt[1+d^2]] Sqrt[-d^2-2 (1+Sqrt[1+d^2])],
d ∈ Reals
]
-d^2
A:
In:
expr = Sqrt[-2 - d^2 + 2 Sqrt[1 + d^2]] Sqrt[-d^2 - 2 (1 + Sqrt[1 + d^2])];
Assuming[d ∈ Reals, Simplify[expr]]
Out:
-d^2

Q:
What meta-information is contained in an image file?
I'm wondering what information is contained in an image file like JPEG or PNG.
I know that most of them contain a metadata file, but anything else other than that?
Anything relates to the license key or personal information in there?
Does software like Photoshop hide some user data in an image?
A:
To the best of my knowledge, Photoshop does not store any personally identifiable metadata in addition to whatever is already in the file and stored by the operating system.
This answer cannot address all packages as each is different.

Paul Tissandier
Paul Tissandier (19 February 1881 – 11 March 1945) was a French aviator.
Biography
Tissandier was the son of aviator Gaston Tissandier and nephew of Albert Tissandier, Gaston's brother.
Tissandier began his flying career as a hot air balloon pilot and later moved to airships and finally to airplanes. He was a pilot-pupil of Wilbur Wright. Together with Count Charles de Lambert, he was involved in the construction of hydro-gliders.
The Aero Club Paul Tissandier based at the Saint-Cyr-l'École airfield was named in his honour.
Paul Tissandier Diploma
The Paul Tissandier Diploma is a perpetual international award established in 1952 by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in memory of Tissandier who was Treasurer of the FAI from its foundation to 1919 and its Secretary General from 1913 to 1945. The diplomas are awarded to those persons who have served the cause of aviation and private and sporting aviation in particular, by their work, initiative, devotion or other endeavours.
Each Aero club which is a member of FAI may recommend a number of deserving candidates for the diploma each year; the U.S. is allowed three. The recipients are confirmed by the FAI Administrative Council and publicly announced and the Diplomas are awarded at the annual FAI General Conference.
Notable recipients include:

The Blogosphere
One of the zillion neat things about using WordPress as your Blog software is the ability to change the theme (look and feel) of the Blog pretty much any time you get the urge.
The last theme, brownish in nature, was OK, but some folks found hard to read. The prior theme that I really liked (the one with the raindrops on green leaves) was excellent, but after 6 months of trying, I could never get the ‘search’ feature to work properly. Searching in a Blog this size is important as there are years of Posts on many different topics. Many people just click one of the Categories that are listed to the right, but that is dependent on the Post author correctly ticking off check marks in all the appropriate categories.
Anyway, while changing a WordPress theme talkes about 10 seconds, adding back the custom coding on this blog will take days and will most assuredly screw up the site until I fix it! So please be patient if you click here and the display is truly fouled up. Trust that I am all over it! Sadly (or happily), I am buried in work and this Blog must come behind my actual income producing labors. | {

The New Mexico secretary of state, who oversees campaign finance reporting and once bemoaned a “culture of corruption” in the state, has been accused of using her election fund as a personal piggy bank at jewelry stores, ATMs and casinos.
Secretary of State Dianna K. Duran already faces allegations of financial crimes, stemming from a separate August indictment.
Late Friday, the New Mexico attorney general’s office alleged in a criminal complaint that Duran also falsified campaign finance reports by forging the name of a former state Senate colleague and claiming him as her campaign treasurer.
See the most-read stories this hour >>
The onetime colleague, Don Kidd, a banker in southeast New Mexico, denied any involvement with Duran’s campaigns in 2010 and 2014.
When asked by an investigator with the attorney general’s office why she would list him as treasurer, Kidd replied, according to the complaint, “Well, I have no idea. I just don’t know, that’s amazing.”
Duran faces 64 charges related to fraud, embezzlement and money laundering. The attorney general’s office alleged that she frequented casinos across the state, withdrawing $430,000 between 2013 and 2014 from her personal accounts while also depositing campaign funds into her personal accounts.
A 65th charge, identity theft, was added Friday after Kidd’s interview with an investigator. Duran’s attorney could not be reached for comment Saturday.
According to the charges, Duran’s first statewide campaign in 2010 was the same year irregularities appeared in her campaign finance disclosure forms.
In 2014, investigators received an anonymous tip about cash deposits into Duran’s personal accounts. When they dug deeper, they found large cash and campaign deposits transferred between campaign and personal accounts, according to the criminal complaint.
Some of the suspected violations appear designed to avoid campaign finance reporting requirements, such as a $5,200 check from Mack Energy Corp. that was entered instead as a $2,900 contribution, according to the complaint.
The difference allowed Duran to register Mack Energy’s total contribution — it had made other donations as well — as $10,400, the maximum allowed by the state, according to the complaint.
A Republican first elected as secretary of state in 2010, beating out the incumbent Democrat, Duran was part of a tide of conservative elected officials nationwide who won political points by focusing on possible violations of voter ID laws.
She took office in January 2011 and by March had referred 64,000 voter registration records to state police, citing irregularities. Duran then took fire from Democratic legislators, public interest groups and news organizations that said she overstated her case, scared voters and withheld proof of her claims.

But criticism of Duran largely subsided until Aug. 28 of this year, when the attorney general’s office said that for years she had pilfered from her campaign account to cover personal expenses.
She has not stepped aside during the investigation, leading to further speculation about her finances.
“She wants to hang onto her $85,000-a-year job as secretary of state as long as possible,” wrote Santa Fe New Mexican political columnist Milan Simonich. “Her record of bank overdrafts explains why.”
The state has set aside $250,000 for an impeachment investigation into Duran’s activities.
The state’s prosecution of its top electoral official will be the earliest and highest-profile test of New Mexico’s public corruption law, passed in 2012.
The law permits prosecutors to request an enhanced sentence for any convictions of public corruption and to fine an individual in an amount equal to his or her pay and fringe benefits from the time of the earliest crime. In Duran’s case, that would amount to close to $500,000.

The White House has denied a report that President Donald Trump suggested Haitian immigrants "all have Aids".
It also denied that Mr Trump suggested Nigerian immigrants would "never go back to their huts".
According to the New York Times, Mr Trump was said to have made the comments during a meeting with senior staff about levels of immigration in June, at which he complained too many were receiving US visas.
The White House denied to the New York Times that Mr Trump used the words "Aids" or "huts" in reference to immigrants, calling the suggestions "lies based on anonymous sources".
Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, said John Kelly, the White House chief of staff, H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, and Rex Tillerson, the US Secretary of State, were all in the meeting and denied Mr Trump used the reported words.
She said: "General Kelly, General McMaster, Secretary Tillerson, and all other senior staff actually in the meeting deny these outrageous claims.
"And it's both sad and telling the New York Times would print the lies of their anonymous 'sources' anyway" Sanders said
According to the New York Times, Mr Trump fumed to his national security team at the meeting that the number of immigrants arriving was undermining his campaign pledge to erect strong borders. | {

Lipid composition of cerebral vessels in American Negroes, Caucasians and Nigerian Africans: a comparative study.
The lipid content of cerebral vessels from American Negroes, Caucasians and Nigerian Africans living in urban areas was chemically quantitated. There are significant differences between the total and free cholesterol content of the vessels among the three population groups. The american Negroes have the greatest amount of cerebral vascular cholesterol compared with American Caucasians and Nigerians. This confirms previous morphological observations that the severity and extent of cerebral atherosclerosis are greater in American Negros than in American Caucasians and aftricans. However, there is no significant difference in the phospholipid content of the cerebral vessels except among the female Negro groups. Chemical quantitation of lipids in vessels may be utilized for assessment of degree of atherosclerosis and may prove to be an acceptable and reliable alternative methodology for epidemiological studies. | {

Relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of metforphin hydrochloride extended-released and immediate-released tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of a new tablet formulation of metformin hydrochloride with reference to a standard product in healthy Chinese adult male volunteers. Two randomized, comparative, two-way crossover studies were therefore conducted. In study 1, which was a single-dose study, 20 subjects received 1000 mg metformin hydrochloride test product extended-release (MXR) tablets followed by the same amount of metformin hydrochloride reference product immediate-release (MIR) tablets with a 7-day washout period between the two doses. In study 2, which was a multiple-dose study, 22 subjects received MXR 1000 mg/d for 9 consecutive days followed by MIR 1000 mg/d with a 14-day washout period between the doses of the test and reference product. The serum metformin concentrations were monitored using a selective and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with ultraviolet (UV) detection. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a 3P97 program. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the half-life of the absorption phase (t(1/2ka)), the half-life of the elimination phase (t(1/2ke)) and the mean retention time (MRT) and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test of T(max) for the two preparations were significantly different. A significant difference was found in the ANOVA for C(max) in the single-dose study, while this was not the case in the multiple-dose study. Two one-sided t-tests showed that there were no significant differences in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) values between the two formulations. The present study indicates that the test preparation was bioequivalent to the reference preparation when both MXR and MIR were investigated in healthy Chinese adult male volunteers. And on the basis of the mean AUC(0-t), AUC(0-infinity) and AUC(ss), the relative bioavailability of the MXR was found to be 107.80%, 111.89% and 110.61% respectively compared with MIR. | {

While the dwarves were developing their own flying machines, the gnomes simultaneously introduced a new model of static wing flying machine, the gnomish bomber (likely based on the earlier single-winged gnomish sky-engines used during the Second War). Produced in significant quantities and distributed to many gnomish and dwarven fortresses, the production of this craft was interrupted by the fall of Gnomeregan to the troggs. This device would have been added to the Alliance military force sometime during the third war, hadn't the troggs invaded Gnomeregan and caused the Gnomes to withhold their military and air force. Many were left in their hangars when the gnomes evacuated the city.
Since the fall of Gnomeregan, gnomish bombers have served alongside the latest variations of dwarven flying machines; many dwarven fortresses possess a complement of these craft in addition to their Siege Engines. Even bases as far flung as the Wildhammer Stronghold in Outland have a complement of gnomish biplanes on hand. The primary launch facility is the airfield equipped with these craft high in the icy mountains between Dun Morogh and the Wetlands.
Now, the courageous Gnome pilots use these devices for scouting and light reconnaissance. Though the biplane is a reliable device, it is fragile and not particularly strong in air-to-ground attacks. Many crash sites can be found around Azeroth where these machines have succumbed to their delicate builds. The smokestacks in the back should make them too heavy to fly.
Though not shown at WWI, this is mentioned flying bomber. It was only mentioned that it will carry both a bomber and pilot, allowing it to drop bombs over the battlefield. The usable version has had the top wing cut off to fit larger pilots. | {

Microbiology of nosocomial sinusitis in mechanically ventilated children.
To assess the bacteriology of nosocomial sinusitis in mechanically ventilated children. Retrospective review of sinus aspirate specimens obtained from 20 children with nosocomial sinusitis. The specimens were processed for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. A total of 58 isolates (2.9 per specimen), 30 aerobic or facultative (1.5 per specimen) and 28 anaerobic (1.4 per specimen), were recovered. Aerobes only were present in 8 patients (40%), anaerobes only in 5 (25%), and mixed aerobic and anaerobic flora in 7 (35%). The predominant aerobes were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6 isolates), Staphylococcus aureus (5 isolates), Escherichia coli (3 isolates), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (3 isolates). The predominant anaerobes were Peptostreptococcus species (8 isolates), Prevotella species (6 isolates), and Fusobacterium species (4 isolates). Forty-one beta-lactamase bacteria were recovered from 14 specimens (70%). Thirty isolates similar to the sinus isolates were also recovered from the trachea, 6 from blood culture specimens, and 6 from other sites. Anaerobes were more commonly isolated from sinus aspirate samples obtained after 18 days of mechanical ventilation (21 vs 7, P<.05 by chi2). This study demonstrates the polymicrobial aerobic-anaerobic flora of nosocomial sinusitis in mechanically ventilated children. | {

1. Introduction
===============
Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are major smoking-related diseases leading to morbidity and mortality worldwide.^\[[@R1]\]^ Epidemiological studies showed COPD was associated with an increase in risk of lung cancer,^\[[@R2],[@R3]\]^ on the other hand, 50% to 70% lung cancer patients diagnosed with airflow obstruction evidence of COPD.^\[[@R4]\]^ Furthermore, a significant proportion of 33% patients with COPD died of lung cancer over a 14.5-year follow up.^\[[@R5]\]^ Currently, it remains unclear the exact mechanisms underlying the higher incidence of lung cancer in patients with COPD. However, progress of research findings on pathogenesis of linking there 2 diseases help to discover chemo-preventive or chemotherapeutic targets in recent years.
Un-resolving inflammation was a key shared pathogenesis of both COPD and lung cancer, and repeated or chronic airway infections was thought to be one important underlying mechanism. Exacerbations are characteristic of the clinical course of COPD with closely link to persistent amplifying inflammation. Virus infection is one of predominant causes for frequent exacerbations. Rhinoviruses are most common viruses related to exacerbations of COPD but influenza is more common in severe exacerbations necessary for admission.^\[[@R6]\]^ In view of lung cancer, main risk factors such as cigarette smoking, environmental pollution, radiation, and exposure to asbestos have been implicated and virus like human papillomavirus (HPV) represents an additional one.^\[[@R7]\]^ HPV vaccine is reasonable to be introduced to reduce incidence of HPV cervical and other HPV-related cancers including lung cancer but only effective in cervical cancer prevention reported currently.^\[[@R8]\]^
Considering lung cancer occurred in COPD patients, possibly frequent exacerbations resulted from repeated or chronic viruses infections drove carcinogenesis of lung, we addressed the question whether available influenza vaccination could reduce lung cancer incidence in COPD patients. To clarify the potential protective benefit of influenza vaccination on occurrence of lung cancer in Taiwanese patients with COPD, we performed a population-based cohort study using reimbursement claims from Taiwan\'s National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).
2. Materials and methods
========================
The National Health Insurance (NHI) program has been established since 1995 to provide comprehensive health insurance consist of all of Taiwan residents. Nowadays, 98% of the more than 23 million people are covered under the NHI. We analyzed information obtained from the Taiwan NHIRD 2001 to 2012. There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, or healthcare costs between the sample group and all enrollees. Influenza season was defined as the interval during October to March according to Taiwan Center of Disease Control. The study was approved by the Joint Institutional Review Board of Taipei Medical University (approval no. N201708051).
This study screens all patients who visited healthcare facilities in Taiwan with diagnosis of COPD (International Classification of Disease, the 9th Revision, Clinical Modification Code) over a 12-year period (n = 116,107) from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2012. Patients without subsequent COPD visit within one year were excluded (n = 45009) due to be considered no chronic pulmonary disease (Fig. [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}). We also excluded 39,053 patients as following criteria:
{#F1}
Patients with any inpatient or outpatient diagnosis related to cancer before the date of cohort enter (n = 4407),
Individuals had already any vaccinated within 6 months before the date of cohort enter (n = 3254) and
Patients with age \<55 years old (n = 31,392).
The indication of receiving administration of influenza vaccination in Taiwan are those high-risk elderly population (people aged ≥50 with type 2 diabetes, chronic liver infection of liver cirrhosis, cardiovascular diseases, or chronic pulmonary disease) since 1998, and for all adults older than 65 years since 2001.^\[[@R9]\]^ The vaccination status was recognized by code V048 and/or the use of vaccine (confirmed by drug codes). Each patient was reviewed for the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and risk factors for CAD (the main co-morbidity of COPD): hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and associated medications: statins, metformin, and aspirin. The primary endpoints of our study were incidence of lung cancer (ICD-9-CM codes 162.X) in COPD patients during the influenza season, non-influenza season (April-September), and all seasons during the follow-up years.
2.1. Statistical analysis
-------------------------
A propensity scores (PS) are used to reduce selection bias and estimate effect of vaccination by accounting for the covariates that predict receiving the intervention (vaccine) with a logistic regression model.^\[[@R10]\]^ Categorical variables were compared using chi-square test and continuous variables using *t* test. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between the influenza vaccination and the occurrence of lung cancer in COPD patients was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. The association between the seasonal effect of vaccination and incidence of lung cancer was also examined. To study the dose-effect of influenza vaccinations on incidence of lung cancer, we categorized the patients into four groups by vaccination status (unvaccinated, total number of vaccinations: 1, 2 to 3, and ≥4). These data were stratified according to the patients' age, sex, comorbidity, and associated medication use. Sensitivity analyses were applied to evaluate the difference and consistency between the influenza vaccination use and the risk of lung cancer in COPD patients. This study performed all statistical analyses using SPSS 19.0 and SAS 9.2 software. The significance criterion was set at *P* \< .05.
3. Results
==========
Totally, 28,752 eligible individuals were enrolled into the COPD cohort. Of the study population, 51% (14,630) received influenza vaccination; the rest (49%) of the COPD patients did not receive influenza vaccination (Table [1](#T1){ref-type="table"}). There was a significant difference (*P* \< .001) between the two groups including distributions of age, level of urbanization, and monthly income (Table [1](#T1){ref-type="table"}). Table [1](#T1){ref-type="table"} also showed prevalence of certain preexisting medical comorbidities, including CCI (*P* \< .001), diabetes (*P* = .005), hypertension (*P* \< .001) and dyslipidemia (*P* \< .001) was higher in the unvaccinated than vaccinated group. In addition, the unvaccinated group demonstrated higher percentage of comorbidities-associated medication use including metformin (*P* \< .001), statin (*P* \< .001) and aspirin (*P* \< .001) than in vaccinated group did.
######
Characteristic of the COPD cohort study patients.
The incidence of the lung cancer was significantly lower in the influenza vaccinated group after we adjusted for potential confounders (adjusted HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.35--0.45 *P* \< .001) than in the unvaccinated group (Table [2](#T2){ref-type="table"}). The similar protective effects were also observed in both sexes and all elderly-age groups (55--64 years, 65--74 years, and 75 years and older) irrespective of influenza seasonality (Table [2](#T2){ref-type="table"}).

3.1. Sensitivity analysis
-------------------------
The sensitivity analysis adjustments had an effect on evaluation of the association of influenza vaccination use with risk of lung cancer in different models. Table [3](#T3){ref-type="table"} demonstrates that the protective effects in the influenza vaccinated patients when stratified according to the total number of vaccinations in the main model and remained significant effect in subgroup analysis. Interestingly, dose-dependent protective effect can be seen when patients received influenza vaccination more than two doses (Table [3](#T3){ref-type="table"}). The adjusted HRs for lung cancer risk were 0.48 (0.40--0.54) and 0.24 (0.20--0.29) for patients who received 2 to 3 and ≥4 vaccinations during the follow-up period.

4. Discussion
=============
We observed that patients with COPD who had received influenza vaccination could reduce risk of lung cancer in this population-based cohort study. In our study, the mean age of patients received influenza vaccination was older than unvaccinated group and significant difference in comorbidity with related medications between the 2 groups was found. These different factors could influence the risk of lung cancer development in general patients including age, statin and metformin use. COPD patients are at increased risk for development of primary lung cancer,^\[[@R11]\]^ particularly for squamous cell carcinoma.^\[[@R12]\]^ The association between COPD and lung cancer is attributed from shared smoking exposure and subsequent airflow limitation,^\[[@R13]\]^ whereas some studies demonstrated the risk of both diseases independent of patient age or extent of tobacco use.^\[[@R2],[@R3]\]^ The possible mechanisms in connection of COPD and lung cancer are oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.^\[[@R14],[@R15]\]^
First, the most common cause of COPD is cigarettes smoking which introduce particulates and oxidant including reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNOS)^\[[@R16]\]^ into airways and lung parenchyma. The RNOS subsequently resulted in oxidative stress and injury of epithelial cells lining on airways and alveolar walls. The oxidative stress induced the accumulation of cell injury by DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, oxidation of amino acids, and oxidation of inorganic enzyme co-factors.^\[[@R15],[@R17]\]^ In addition, unbalanced oxidant-induced deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage and repair in COPD triggered to develop lung cancer,^\[[@R18]\]^ involving cancer initiation,^\[[@R19]\]^ and progression.^\[[@R20]\]^
Second, COPD is characterized by chronic inflammation of lower airways, which macrophages, neutrophils, and lymphocytes are main immune cells orchestrated and amplified the inflammation in the progression of disease.^\[[@R4]\]^ The propagation and the maintenance of inflammation increased risk of cancer development was reported in the literature,^\[[@R21]\]^ but the link between chronic low airways inflammation to lung cancer is still not fully elucidated.^\[[@R22]\]^ Different phenotype of immune cells infiltration in the lung were found between COPD and lung cancer. Macrophages, T helper 1 (T~H~1) or cytotoxic profile are predominant inflammatory cells in COPD,^\[[@R23]\]^ however, most solid tumors polarize immune cells towards a M2 macrophages and T helper 2 (T~H~2) lymphocyte.^\[[@R24]\]^ The time-varying on phenotype of immune cells profile in COPD lead to lung cancer development.^\[[@R25]\]^ These changes may be attributed from that oxidative stress in COPD patients provide genotoxicity for DNA adduct formation with subsequent genetic mutation,^\[[@R26]\]^ which triggers early stage neoplasm forming and secreting cytokines and chemokines that skew the immune cell profiles in favor of tumor promotion.^\[[@R27]\]^
Exploring possible pathogenesis of linking COPD to lung cancer mentioned above, we could provide specific strategies for COPD patients to reduce risk of lung cancer. Chronic anti-oxidant therapy, for example N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) may be benefit of reducing exacerbations of COPD and lung cancer incidence based of mitigating oxidative stress in both diseases but the results from trials of NAC treatment in COPD showed small reduction in acute exacerbations,^\[[@R28]\]^ furthermore, use of antioxidants in mice increased cancer risk in COPD model.^\[[@R29]\]^ Given shared mechanism of chronic inflammation in both diseases, long-term treatment with anti-inflammatory agent of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) in COPD was performed but the results showed controversial in survival benefit of lung cancer.^\[[@R30],[@R31]\]^ Changes over time of lipid metabolism in cancers including lung cancer has been investigated before but the protective effect of statin administering was not clearly demonstrated by those studies.^\[[@R32],[@R33]\]^
Vaccination in preventing cancer has been made significant progress particularly in hepatocellular carcinoma with hepatitis B (HBV) vaccine and HPV-related cervical and other cancers with HPV vaccines.^\[[@R34]\]^ Not any research has been reported before about vaccination in lung cancer prevention. This is the first population-based cohort study to show influenza vaccination could reduce lung cancer in COPD patients. The possible explanation for the promising result may be decreasing frequency of exacerbations in patients of COPD caused by influenza virus infection with resultant persistence of inflammation. Another possible reason is annual influenza vaccination administering may trigger T~H~1 immune response to augment anti-tumor defense. In addition, the dose-dependent effect showed in our study implicated the boosted and consolidated anti-tumor immunity after repeated receiving influenza vaccination.
Our group analyzed the associated of influenza vaccination in COPD with the reduction of hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome from the same database,^\[[@R35]\]^ which suggested the protective effect of influenza vaccination on endothelial cells of COPD patients. In this study, we showed the influence of influenza vaccination on reduction of lung cancer in COPD, which may implied the similar protective role on epithelial cells of lung in patients. However, some limitations of this study should be addressed. First, several confounding factors relevant to cancers, including smoking, alcohol intake, and other over-the-counter drug use, body mass index, were not contained in our database. Second, the diagnoses of COPD and the vaccination status in our study were according to ICD-9 codes or drug codes, thus the diagnostic accuracy of the database may be a problem. Finally, we presumed all prescribed medications associated with anti-cancers such as statin and metformin were actually taken by patients to mitigate the effect of noncompliance to influence our result.
5. Conclusion
=============
In conclusion, this study is the first article to demonstrate the protective effect of influenza vaccination against lung cancer in COPD patients. Furthermore, this study showed dose-dependent effect in reducing the incidence of lung cancer. In the future, there is need for prospective large clinical trials and elucidation underlying mechanisms in basis of this study.

American Soccer Association Cup
The American Soccer Association Cup was an open cup-tie competition that took place in 1929. The entires for this tournament were the ASL teams and amateur clubs from the Southern New York State Association. The amateur clubs played the early rounds to earn the right to play off against the ASL entrants in the final stages. The tournament ran from February to May. The sixth round which constituted the tournament proper included the seven ASL teams and the only amateur side to qualify, the Brooklyn Celtics. The final was played over two legs with Providence gaining the title over the New York Nationals with a 4-2 win on May 20 after the teams drew 2-2 on May 18. A May 19 game was played but officials called the game on account of weather and continued as an exhibition match with the teams playing to a 4-4 draw. This tournament was not continued as the 'Soccer War' was later resolved.

Introduction The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) have a vast and growing library of authoritative information to help the nation better understand, prepare for, and respond to climate change. The National Academies launched the Climate Communications Initiative (CCI) to facilitate access to that storehouse by decision makers and stakeholders at all levels of society, to engage with stakeholders to prospectively guide the growth of the storehouse, and to meet and anticipate climate information needs to help protect the many sectors of human investment. The National Academies have established the CCI in order to: ï· More effectively meet the nationâs needs for climate information by being responsive to and engaging with different audiences; ï· Identify the National Academiesâ particular niche in the broader landscape of climate communication efforts; ï· Leverage climate-related work from across the institution to more fully realize the potential of the information to meet user needs; ï· Develop innovative approaches to be nimbler and more responsive, and to proactively meet user needs in a rapidly changing context; and ï· Advance institutional coordination on this cross-cutting issue. The National Academies convened an external Advisory Committee (see Appendix for the member biosketches), which developed this strategic plan to outline a vision, goals, priorities, audiences, coordination mechanisms, desired long-term outcomes, and near-term recommendations for the institution to carry out these activities. Background and Context Throughout its 155-year history as an âadviser to the nation,â the National Academies1 have helped bring science to bear on many important societal issues facing the nationâfrom preventing errors in health care to building resilient communities and infrastructure to providing the roadmaps for science education and space exploration. The National Academies seek to help the nation address the complex challenges of a changing climate by providing the most reliable and objective information from science, engineering, and medicine and by convening and connecting the nationâs experts and stakeholders to spark new ideas and innovation. 1 The National Academy of Sciences was chartered by Congress in 1863 to provide an objective, independent source of scientific advice for the nation at the height of the Civil War, to âinvestigate, examine, experiment, and report upon any subject of scienceâ whenever called on to do so by any department of the government. Over time, this institution expanded to become advisers on all matters of science, engineering, and medicine as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies), which now includes three honorific societies and the institutionâs operating arm. For more information, visit http://www.nationalacademies.org. 1
All divisions of the National Academies have addressed climate-related2 issues, and the publications they have created are the product of the deliberations and consensus of many of the best minds from many areas of expertise from across the nation. In addition to examining new frontiers in climate science, the National Academies have studied climate impacts on national security, agriculture, food security, extreme weather events, coastal communities due to sea level rise, transportation infrastructure, community resilience, ecosystems, and human health; new innovations in energy, vehicles, and carbon removal; and social and behavioral dimensions of environmental change. The National Academiesâ consensus study reports in these areas are widely regarded in science policy circles as the âgold standardâ for objective scientific review and assessment of specific issues. These reports are the result of an independent and rigorous process that constitutes important assessments of the science in many areas. In addition to consensus study reports, the National Academies have a long tradition of convening engagement activitiesâincluding workshops and symposia through the work of roundtables and standing committeesâto bring together experts in a neutral setting to learn about the state of the science and provide decision makers with the best available information. These foundational values of objectivity and rigor provide an opportunity for the National Academies to stand as leaders in providing trusted information about the climate to more people than ever before. However, navigating todayâs complex and changing information environment is not a simple task. It presents both unprecedented opportunities for innovation and a new array of challenges. It is faster to communicate now, but the speed of communication can also make it easier to lose trust and credibility through communication missteps. As the National Academies rise to meet these challenges, they must above all else preserve their values, reputation, credibility, and scientific integrity. The future of climate communications at the National Academies will require staying true to core values, building on past successes, and institutionalizing practices that allow the institution to thrive in a dynamic environment with growing and changing audience needs. The Role of the National Academies in Communicating Climate-Related Information The climate communication landscape is complex. There is a range of different types of entitiesâ including federal, state, and city government agencies and labs, professional societies, community organizations, museums and science centers, think tanks, foundations, and other nongovernmental organizationsâeach with different missions and audiences. Their missions vary from focusing primarily on research and analysis to engaging exclusively through outreach and advocacy, and their audiences may also span from local users with individualized needs to policy and decision makers at the national or global scale. Some of these existing groups are more focused on sustained engagement and are well established with their audiences around one or more dimensions of a climate-related topic (e.g., adaptation, mitigation and clean energy technology, or public communication of the state of current understanding of anthropogenic climate change). Some entities address a single topic, while for others, climate is one of several topics within their communication portfolio. The National Academies should not recreate any of the specific services currently being addressed by this rich ecosystem of actors. 2 The phrases âclimate-relatedâ and ârelated to the climateâ are used throughout this plan to refer to all of the topics identified in this paragraph. 2
Given their history, mission, breadth of scholarship, reputation, and network of experts, the National Academiesâ role in the provision of the best available information is important, even though the decisions that people make about the climate are not solely based on scientific facts (from the National Academies or elsewhere).3 Moreover, any mismatch between the state of public discourse and the scientific understanding about climate and related issues is not due to a lack of facts or evidence from the scientific and technological community, and the National Academies cannot solely bear the responsibility of âcorrectingâ it. Ultimately, however, the Advisory Committee believes that the National Academies can do more to be a brighter âbeaconâ for the best available scientific and technological information needed to anticipate and respond to climate-related challenges and opportunities. Development of the Strategic Plan To develop a strategic plan for the CCI, the National Academies first brought together an internal advisory group composed of staff representing each programmatic division and central communication and outreach office, referred to as the CCI brain trust. The group members served as touchpoints across the institution throughout the planning process and will continue to do so throughout implementation. An external Advisory Committee (see Appendix for the member biosketches) was then established to develop the plan to guide the National Academies on how to better coordinate and leverage climate- related work from across the institution in innovative ways. The Advisory Committee is composed of 18 experts from academia, business, government, and communication and media organizations with a diverse set of perspectives, experience, and knowledge in areas including climate science, public and environmental health, science education, communication research and practice, brand strategy, industry, policy, and decision making. They were tasked with articulating the goals and target audiences for the CCI, identifying priorities, and recommending mechanisms for coordination, monitoring, and evaluating the impact of the activities of the CCI. The Advisory Committee developed this strategic plan based on its own perspectives, communities, and expertise, and on input gathered from the public, National Academiesâ volunteers, discussions with the internal advisory group, and National Academiesâ leadership. The development of this strategy occurred at a time when other efforts4 are under way at the National Academies to modernize and transform the institution. Providing advice regarding the overall operation of the National Academies was beyond the CCIâs purview; however, the Advisory Committee noted instances where CCI activities could help advance these broader efforts or vice versa. 3 As described in the 2017 report Communicating Science Effectively. See National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2017. Communicating Science Effectively: A Research Agenda. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. https://doi.org/10.17226/23674. 4 Namely, in response to the 2017 National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) review of the National Research Council and an external review of communications in 2018. 3 | {

New sesquiterpenes from Ferula ferulaeoides (Steud.) Korovin. VI. Isolation and identification of three new dihydrofuro[2,3-b]chromones.
Three novel 2-prenyl-dihydrofurochromone-type sesquiterpenoid derivatives, 2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2S*,3R*-dimethyl-2-[4,8-dimethyl-3(E),7-nonadienyl]-furo[2,3-b]chromone, 2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2S*,3R*-dimethyl-2-[4-methyl-5-(4-methyl-2-furyl)-3(E),7-pentenyl]-furo[2,3-b]chromone, and 2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2R*,3R*-dimethyl-2-[4-methyl-5-(4-methyl-2-furyl)-3(E),7-pentenyl]-furo[2,3-b]chromone, were isolated from the roots of Ferula ferulaeoides. The structures were established by comprehensive spectral analysis. The biosynthetic pathway leading to these 2-prenyl-dihydrofurochromone-type sesquiterpenoids is proposed based on their structures. | {

Johnny Manziel wants to continue playing football and sees the XFL as a legit option with an opportunity to grow. (0:28)
Free-agent quarterback Johnny Manziel has expressed interest in the XFL's new Houston team, saying he would relish the chance to play in his home state and be reunited with coach June Jones.
While appearing at the TriStar collectors show in Houston on Saturday, Manziel discussed his XFL possibilities with multiple reporters. He told the Houston Chronicle that part of his interest would be based on the team's proximity to Texas A&M, where he was a Heisman Trophy winner.
"It's a stone's throw from College Station," Manziel said. "A lot of Aggies drove from Houston to College Station. Houston's a great city that'll always be near and dear to me."
After two seasons out of professional football, Manziel signed with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats last year and played under Jones, a former NFL and college quarterback and coach. Manziel told Fox 26 that it would be "very cool" to play for Jones once again.
"Coach Jones is a great guy," Manziel said. "I enjoyed him from an offensive standpoint, from a personal standpoint. He's been there for me, especially when I was in Hamilton, getting to a new place, a different country. I enjoyed my time with him very thoroughly, and I think it would be a great opportunity."
Manziel also said he would be willing to play for the XFL's Dallas franchise, telling the Chronicle that he was intrigued that the league has two Texas teams.

The 26-year-old Manziel has previously addressed playing in the XFL, which is slated to begin play in February 2020. He told TMZ in April that he would be open to "any football options," including the resurrected league that operated for one season in 2001.
On May 20, Jones said Manziel "played very good for me" in Hamilton and that he expected the quarterback to be in the XFL draft pool.
Manziel never played in a game under Jones in Canada and was ultimately traded to the Montreal Alouettes, where he played in eight contests before his contract was terminated.
There had been some question about Manziel's eligibility for the XFL, which has a policy excluding players with a criminal record from the league. Manziel had faced a domestic violence charge after he was accused of hitting and threatening his ex-girlfriend in January 2016. Those charges were dismissed in November 2017. But XFL commissioner Oliver Luck told the PFT PM podcast in April that Manziel wasn't ruled out from joining the league.
Manziel was selected 22nd overall in the 2014 NFL draft, and the XFL would be his fourth professional league since leaving Texas A&M after the 2013 season. In 2018, he was kicked out of the CFL for violating the terms of his agreement with the league. The AAF folded less than a month after he joined the league.
"I think I'm in a good place personally. I think I've been doing the right things," Manziel told Fox 26. "When the opportunity presents itself moving forward, we'll see how things go." | {

Q:
How to repeat an entire playlist in order on iOS 10?
The title captures the issue.
I see this question: How can I repeat a Playlist?
and this question: Repeat on iOS 8.4 music app?
both from a legacy version of iOS (8.4). It appears that the music app interface has changed in newer versions of iOS (I'm currently running 10.1.1).
A:
Open the Music app, then go to Library -> Playlists -> [Choose your playlist]. Click on the first song to start playing the playlist. At the bottom of the screen, the song currently playing will appear. Click on it. This will bring up your classic playback information (album info, tracking slider, volume slider). Then scroll down by sliding your finger up the screen. Right underneath the airplay symbol are two buttons: Shuffle and repeat. Click the repeat button.

Ethnopharmacological survey of medicinal plants used in Daraa-Tafilalet region (Province of Errachidia), Morocco.
We carried out an ethnobotanical survey in Tafilalet region. This region is classified by the UNESCO as a reserve of biosphere and represents an important area with important knowledge of traditional medicine, especially the use of medicinal plants for human healthcare. Furthermore, the geographic location of this region makes this site a diverse and interesting resource of herbal biodiversity. The study aimed to collect information about medicinal plants used in Tafilalet region as well as the indigenous knowledge related to the use of this natural resource in healthcare by the local population in order to preserve and protect this invaluable inheritance from loss and overlook. We aimed also to compare taxa used by the indigenous people of Tafilalet for health-care purposes in comparison with other regions of Morocco as well as neighboring countries. The total of informants interviewed in this study was 1616 (1500 were local inhabitants and 116 were herbalists). This enquiry was carried out through semi-structured and unstructured interviews and the sampling technique used was the stratified sample (9 stratums). Data obtained were analyzed calculating 6 indices: Use Value (UV), Family Use Value (FUV), Fidelity Level (FL), Rank Order Priority (ROP), Informant Consensus Factor (Fic) and Jaccard similarity Index (JI). 194 species belonging to 69 families were inventoried in this survey and 17 species were cited for the first time in an ethnobotanical survey in Morocco. The highest value of UV was obtained for Rosmarinus officinalis L. (UV=0.24) and Liliaceae was the family frequently used by inhabitants of Tafilalet (FUV=0.106). In addition, the highest value of FL was recorded for Cistus salviifolius L. and Daphne gnidium L. with FL value of 100% for both species and Origanium vulgare L. had the highest ROP with a value of 53% while the highest value of FIC was mentioned for digestive system disorders (FIC=0.29). Concerning the level of similarity between our study and other regions of Morocco, the province of Tata seems to be the most similar to Tafilalet (JI=42.97), while M'sila (Algeria) was the most similar to Tafilalet among areas in neighboring countries (JI=13.00). Despite the richness which characterizes Tafilalet regarding diversity and effectiveness of medicinal plants as well as the largest culture and knowledge related to the popular phytotherapy among local people in this region, several procedures must be realized to protect and to valorize this interesting inheritance. | {

There's a lot of argument on certain sites about the ordination of gay bishops in the Episcopal Church,and whether or not it is a sign of 'end times'.
Here, for what it is worth, is my response to some of the more outlandish freaks:
"Many writers on this topic have noted the assertion from Leviticus 18:22 that homosexuality is an abomination, and gone on to ask how can a Biblical Church ordain gay bishops.
The answer is very simple: many Christians accept the Bible as containing the Word of God, telling the life story of Jesus, and containing compelling moral guidelines, whilst also realising that they are reading a translation of a number of texts written by a number of different people between two and four thousand years ago.
Many Christians would emphasis that, for them, the importance of the Bible, is its information about the life of Christ. Many would point out that Jesus himself said he was making 'a new covenant', replacing all of the precepts of the Old Testament with two: "Love God with all your heart" and "Love thy neighbour as thyself". "There is no other commandment than these." (Mark 12: 28 - 31). Christians, in an acceptance of Christ, are forced to prefer his teachings to the Old testament laws when they come into conflict: the exhortations to 'turn the other cheek' are clearly not compatible with the OT's demand of 'an eye for an eye'. Otherwise there would have been a whole lot of cheek-slapping going on...
So, people have a nuanced, textured view of the Bible, recognising that no two translations are the same, and that the texts of which the Bible is made up are not necessarily the same as they always were. Are the Apocrypha just as much part of the Word of God as the accepted Bible? What about the books from the Nag Hammadi Library?
To conclude, let us look only at Chapter 11 of Leviticus. What other things does it consider an abomination? Eating of shellfish (11:10). By the logic that this is an abomination, God hates it, no bishop who intends to eat shellfish in the future should be ordained. God even hates lobster shells: "their carcasses you shall have in abomination." Odd that the God who made prawns should feel so strongly about them.
In verses 7 and 8 Leviticus clearly states that no one should touch the skin of a pig ("their carcasses you shall not touch"). Someone obviously forgot to tell Pope John Paul II, who, when playing soccer in Poland, must certainly have come into contact with the skin of the pig, or he would have been terrible at his position in goal.
If we take God at his word as revealed in Leviticus God hates gays about as much as he hates menstruating women (Leviticus 15:19) and Wilbur from Charlotte's Web (11:7).
Leviticus also states that we should atone adulterers to death (20:10). Thus, among those who should be stoned are such leaders as Jim Bakker, Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. Maybe Leviticus does get some things right...
Jesus, you may remember, actually intervened to stop an adulteress being stoned to death, saying: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." He clearly disagreed with some of the teachings of the Old Testament, and said so explicitly.
That is how one can be a Christian, a Biblical Christian, and believe that the ordination of gay bishops is part of Jesus' challenge to us to love one another as ourselves, and his affirmation of the new covenant for all mankind."

NSFW!
It's not easy being a battered wife in California. The children keep asking why you're bruised, the bills won't pay themselves, and you spend your evenings hoping that your husband will drink so much that he lapses into an alcoholic stupor before deciding that he feels 'amorous'.
Fortunately, when you're in need of a safe place, a place of refuge, somewhere to jst get away to, the Northumberland Services for Women are there to help. And their website, www.nsfw.ca will tell you all about how they can help. | {

Hydrochlorothiazide-induced pulmonary edema: a case report and literature review.
A 67-year-old man developed non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema after taking a hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) tablet. The symptoms remitted following supportive treatment but recurred after rechallenge. Immunologic studies showed increased immunoglobulin E, negative lymphocyte transformation test when exposed to HCTZ, normal blood lymphocyte subpopulations and complement levels, and negative antinuclear antibodies. We reviewed 22 previous reported cases and emphasized that physicians should be aware of this rare but life-threatening reaction. | {

Effect of pedunculagin investigated by non-invasive evaluation on atopic-like dermatitis in NC/Nga mice.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Experimental animal models have been an indispensable tool for studying its pathological mechanisms and for in vivo testing of novel therapeutic approaches. AD-like lesions can be induced experimentally in NC/Nga mice. Pedunculagin, an ellagitannin purified from the Manchurian alder, Alnus hirsuta var. microphylla, Betulaceae, is a novel immunomodulator. To evaluate the effect of pedunculagin for AD-like lesions in NC/Nga mice, using clinical and non-invasive methods. AD-like lesions were induced in NC/Nga mice using 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB). A cream containing 0.1% or 0.5% pedunculagin was applied to the positive treatment group, and the base cream without pedunculagin was applied to the negative treatment group. The control group did not receive any kind of topical agents. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of pedunculagin for AD by statistical evaluation of the clinical severity score using non-invasive biomedical engineering tools before treatment, and 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks afterwards. An AD-like skin rash was successfully induced using TNCB in NC/Nga mice. The group receiving higher concentrations of pedunculagin showed faster and greater improvement. Our results suggest that remedies made from natural materials like pedunculagin are now showing promise for medical applications, and many new studies are expected to explore this potential. | {

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates, in general, to electrical inductive apparatus and, more specifically, to electrical inductive apparatus having rectangular shaped magnetic cores.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is common in electrical inductive apparatus, such as transformers, reactors and the like, to construct a magnetic core having rectangularly shaped leg members with electrical windings, comprised of a plurality of turns of strap or sheet conductors, disposed therearound. A winding tube is disposed between the windings and the core to electrically insulate the windings from the grounded core and further serves to hold the windings in the desired rectangular shape during their sub-assembly on various coil winding machines. Typically, the winding tube is constructed of pressboard due to its superior electrical insulating characteristics.
The rectangular core type construction has been limited in the past to certain ratings since larger units have been unable to meet the short circuit withstand requirements. During a short circuit, the low voltage and high voltage windings tend to separate with the low voltage winding being compressed against the core and the high voltage winding being subject to an outward tensile force. Unless the windings are tightly wound around the core, gaps will exist between the turns of the windings which allow the windings to vibrate during a short circuit. This repeated vibration eventually breaks the insulation or the conductor thereby destroying the transformer. One of the primary reasons for the existence of voids between the turns of the windings is the dimensional instability of the pressboard material commonly used in the winding tube. Pressboard has a tendency to shrink during the curing of the transformer since the moisture absorbed by the pressboard during storage and handling is driven out by the high temperatures used in the assembly of the transformer. Further, the pressboard compresses during the processing of the transformer which opens up additional gaps or spaces between the turns of the windings. The dimensions of the pressboard winding tube vary across its length due to inherent manufacturing variations and the fact that it is difficult to bend the pressboard into a rectangular shape that is square or parallel with the edges of the core.
During the assembly of the transformer, pressure is applied to the longer axis or length of the windings to compress the windings and thereby reduce the space factor of the transformer. This eliminates the gaps between the turns of the windings along this axis of the transformer. However, the excess material that was originally present along the length of the coils appears at the ends of the windings, adjacent the width thereof, which adds additional gaps or looseness to the windings along this dimension of the transformer.
During the sub-assembly of the windings, the winding tube is initially secured around the mandrel of a coil winding machine. Due to the dimensional instability of the pressboard winding tube, in particular its varying thickness across its length and the difficulty involved in bending the pressboard into a rectangular form with parallel sides, the outer surface of the winding tube is generally not parallel with the surfaces of the mandrel or of the sheets of insulation and sheet conductor. This misalignment causes creases or wrinkles to form in the insulation and sheet conductor as they are wound around the winding tube which adversely affects the electrical characteristics of the windings. It is known that a crease or wrinkle in a sheet of paper insulation will greatly reduce its dielectric strength. Further, a crease or wrinkle could break the sheet conductor, which is typically aluminum in thicknesses of 0.005 inches to 0.040 inches. In order to reduce the occurrence of wrinkles or creases, the tension applied to the sheets of insulation and conductor during their winding around the winding tube must be reduced which, accordingly, results in a loose winding having gaps therein.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a transformer having rectangular core legs which has a higher rating than previously attainable due to improved short circuit withstand capability. It would also be desirable to provide such a transformer that has a winding tube that is dimensionally stable over the range of conditions encountered during the construction of the transformer. It would also be desirable to provide a winding tube which has an outer surface that is parallel to the surface of the mandrel of the coil wnding machine and the sheets of insulation and conductor. | {

Ronaldinho was even better than Zinedine Zidane, Diego Maradona and Pele, according to his former teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng.
Kevin-Prince Boateng has described Ronaldinho as the best footballer he ever played with, hailing the Brazilian as even better than Zinedine Zidane, Diego Maradona and Pele.
Ronaldo: I know I am important
The Las Palmas midfielder, who played with Ronaldinho at AC Milan, said the 36-year-old was past his best when he first signed for the Serie A club.
But despite his advanced age, Boateng insisted Ronaldinho still had so much quality it placed him above other legends of the sport.
"Who's the best player I've ever played with? Ronaldinho no doubt," he told Fox Sports. "When he arrived at Milan he had no great desire or was tired and was no longer the Dinho of before. But what he wanted was for people to see that he was the best player in the world. More than Zidane, Pele and Maradona.
"He wanted to hit the crossbar three times and did it. We wondered how it was possible there was so much talent in one body. It was unbelievable."
Boateng also recalled his favorite highlights of his time at San Siro, although he insisted leaving the club was the right thing to do for his career.
"The most beautiful moments I spent at AC Milan have been three: when we won the league title, the goal against Barcelona and when I did Michael Jackson dance at San Siro," added Boateng. "I thought a lot before leaving Milan, they are a team of my heart, but for me at that time was the right thing to do.
The former Ghana international also labelled his brother Jerome as one of the best defenders in the world, saying of the Bayern Munich and Germany center half: "Is my brother is the best defender in the world? He is in the top three for sure." | {

Dermal hypersensitivity reactions to insulin: correlations of three patterns to their histopathology.
Fifteen diabetics with recurrent painful local reactions to insulin were studied. Reactions occurring after intradermal insulin injection were observed in nine patients over 48 hr and biopsies were taken at intervals for microscopic study using the 1 mu Giemsa technique. Insulin-specific IgE and IgG levels were measured on all patients. Five patients had biphasic reactions in which wheal and flare (WFR) were followed by an indurated lesion 4 to 6 hr later. These reactions lasted up to 24 hr and were histopathologically identical to similar "late-phase reactions" seen with ragweed. They were transferable with Prausnitz-Küstner (P-K) testing. Three patients had reactions that developed 8 to 12 hr after injection, peaked around 24 hr, and were not preceded by WFR. These reactions were morphologically delayed hypersensitivity reactions and were not transferred by P-K testing. One patient had a reaction that developed in 4 to 6 hr after injection and peaked by 12 hr. Histologically, this reaction was "Arthus" in type and was not transferred by P-K testing. Specific insulin antibody determinations were not helpful in distinguishing patients with different types of reactivity. These data show that recurrent local reactions to insulin may be of three distinct types: "late-phase reactions" (which are IgE dependent), "Arthus" local vasculitic reactions, or tuberculin-type delayed hypersensitivity reactions. These findings may influence the approach to management of these reactions. | {

Editor's Note: First of five installments featuring the 2007 inductees to the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame.
By Jake TerryLSU Sports Information
One look around Dr. Joseph Albergamo’s office and it is easy to see two lives combined. Degrees from college and medical school hang on the wall to the right of the man formerly known as “Nacho” Albergamo. On the wall behind the former football All-American hangs pictures and plaques from his playing days at LSU. Both walls serve as reminders of the major achievements Albergamo has accomplished in his recent past.
Those achievements have led to his election into the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame, an honor Albergamo does not take lightly.
“It is truly an honor that I’m proud of,” Albergamo said. “At the same time, I’m humbled because I know that this acknowledgment is also a result of my teammates and many other people who have contributed to this accomplishment and not just what I’ve done.”
Albergamo will be inducted into the Hall at the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame Gala, to be held September 25 at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Also being inducted on that night will be Lady Tiger basketball star Marie Ferdinand, All-American baseball player Eddy Furniss, All-SEC football center Kevin Mawae and legendary head football coach Charles McClendon.
The LSU Athletic Hall of Fame Gala is sponsored by Desselle-Maggard Corporation.
The list of Albergamo’s achievements is long, both on the field as well as off. At the end of his football career at LSU the Marrero, La. native was named three-time Academic All-SEC, two-time Academic All-American, as well as being named a consensus first team All-American at center his senior season in 1987. In addition, Albergamo was one of only 11 athletes named a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete his senior season.
Growing up it was Albergamo’s parents who influenced him to work hard and instilled the discipline he needed to achieve such numerous honors and distinctions.
“It all starts at home. It all starts with the family,” Albergamo said. “I grew up in a real strict household. My parents have probably been the most influential people in my life.”
Former LSU assistant coach Pete Jenkins also influenced Albergamo. Jenkins saw the talent and the character of Albergamo and made a decision that helped shape the course of Albergamo’s life.
“I credit him for having the confidence in my abilities to offer me a scholarship,” Albergamo said.
Once he enrolled at LSU as a freshman in 1984, Albergamo stepped up and exceeded the challenge of being both a student and an athlete.
“I was very disciplined. I worked a full day at everything,” Albergamo said. “There are only so many hours in the day, so when I wasn’t preparing or practicing for football I was studying.”
Excelling on the field and in the classroom had its price. Albergamo put in long hours practicing for games and studying for exams, so he did not spend much time going out with friends.
“I wasn’t much of a partier. I was very focused on what I wanted to do and what I liked to do,” Albergamo said.
One of those things he liked to do was play football, and through his hard work he had ample opportunities in his career to play. Albergamo started at center from his sophomore season until he graduated and lettered all four years.
During his time on the field Albergamo experienced many thrills, including leading LSU to its first SEC championship in 16 years when his Tigers won the league in 1986. One of Albergamo’s fondest memories as a Tiger occurred that same year in 1986 which was his junior season.
“One game that stands out that year would be when we played Alabama at their home field in Birmingham,” Albergamo said. “We had to come from behind to win the game, and it actually propelled us on to win the SEC championship.”
Not only did Albergamo experience incredible team moments while at LSU, but he also had some amazing battles in the trenches of the o-line. None stood out more than the epic matchup with Nebraska’s defensive tackle Neil Smith. Both ended up first team All-Americans a year later, but the battle between the two in the 1987 Sugar Bowl was something Albergamo has never forgotten.
“The reason it stands out is there was so much hype about us going against each other before the actual game. On the field I think there was an equally fierce battle, so that one thing stands out,” Albergamo said.
Nebraska came out on top 30-15 in what was the 10th Sugar Bowl appearance for the Tigers.
“It was healthy competition. After the game we met at the 50-yard line and shook hands, both in admiration of each other and how hard we played against each other,” Albergamo said. Then with a wry smile he added, “We lost the game, but I won the personal battle.”
Albergamo ended his football career on a high note when LSU blasted eighth-ranked South Carolina 30-13 in the 1987 Gator Bowl. From there Albergamo moved on to his life after football, a pursuit of a medical career. As he worked toward his goal of becoming a physician Albergamo carried on lessons he learned from football.
“You hear the cliché ‘football prepares you for life and teaches you lessons,’ and it really does. You have to be disciplined to play football. It requires a lot of hard work, dedication and team work,” Albergamo said. “All the same principles that you have to have to be successful in football you also have to have to be successful in life.”
With the discipline he learned from his parents and the lessons he picked up in football Albergamo attended the LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. Four years later he graduated and began an internal medicine internship with Ochsner Foundation Hospital in Jefferson, La.
Albergamo spent one year in his internship before he moved up to anesthesiology residency with the same hospital. One year later he transferred to Earl K. Long Memorial Hospital in Baton Rouge to begin an internal medicine residency. Albergamo stayed two years before he left to work full time at the Baton Rouge Clinic practicing internal medicine almost ten years after his last football game in 1987.
Internal medicine for Albergamo runs the gamut in adult medicine, everything from chest pains and infections to psychiatric problems, depression and even cancer. The pressure Albergamo faced every Saturday wearing the purple and gold prepared him for his life as a physician.
“There was pressure playing football in college, but I didn’t ever feel overwhelmed by any type of pressure playing center. I don’t think you could compare the amount of pressure there is in sports with medicine because in medicine there is much more,” Albergamo said. “We were playing a game, and whether you win or lose it’s not life or death. In medicine, it is.”
Every day presents new challenges for Albergamo, and every day he rises to meet them. It’s been like that since his football days where as “Nacho,” a 6-foot-2, 257 pound rock-solid lineman he worked his way into a consensus All-American.
Albergamo no longer wears the traditional LSU white jersey. Instead he wears the traditional doctor’s white lab coat. Instead of “Albergamo” printed on the back as in his football days, “Joseph Albergamo, M.D.” is printed on the front.
As his office walls show with his medical degrees and football memorabilia, Albergamo has lived one successful life as an All-American football player and continues to live a successful life as an All-American physician, making a positive difference in people’s lives. | {

Conditional jockey
A conditional jockey is an apprentice National Hunt racing jockey in Great Britain or Ireland under the age of 26 who has not won more than seventy-five races under rules or had not won that many races within the last six months.
A conditional jockey is entitled to a reduction, known as an allowance, in the weight carried by his horse, dependent on the type of race, which varies according to the number of races the jockey has won. A jockey who has ridden fewer than twenty winners can claim an allowance of seven pounds, one who has ridden between twenty and forty winners can claim a five pound allowance and one who has ridden less than seventy-five winners can claim a three pound allowance. A conditional jockey with fewer than five winners is allowed a further three pounds when riding for the stable which employs him. Allowances cannot be claimed when riding in races restricted to conditional jockeys and in some other instances, for example the Grand National.
The British conditional jockeys championship runs throughout the National Hunt season and the title is won by the conditional jockey riding the most winners. The 2018-19 competition ran from 5 May 2018 to 27 April 2019. and was won by Bryony Frost, who rode 49 winners during the season.

Q:
Where can a Moderator Candidate post an extended statement?
Where's the best place?
I may start typing one here as an answer, then move it to a better place when I get a better answer. Thanks,
A:
There really isn't a great way for you to post an epic mega statement. Moderator nominations used allow for much longer statements, but then CasperOne happened.
There are some other venues for making your statement if you'd like to take advantage of them. However most of them will be external from the moderator nomination so there is that.
You could make a Youtube video about yourself and you policies. A gaming.se mod did this once and it was pretty cool (though he didn't win election)
You could create an external document in google docs or similar and share it in your nomination.
You can participate in the officially sanctioned moderator Q&A that will go on when the election starts.
You can help organize a moderator town hall chat with as many candidates as we can get together.
You can make meta post for all of the candidates to post an extended platform as answers.
These are the ones that I can think of. However, I think the single most important things you can do are to be active and visible on the site, write a thorough, but succinct nomination and work on your stats (the ones shown in your profile and also the ones that are shown here (whenever we get added to that))
A:
In stark contrast to almost all other structures across the SE network, elections are the one time when voting is done on the basis of the person not a particular piece of content.
The character limit is a fairly new thing across SE elections. As I understand it the purpose is to limit the tendency for elections to become a contest between platforms and ideologies. In difference to some political elections that are largely issue based and the character of the candidates is considered by some to be less important than the platform they are running on, SE moderators are not necessarily empowered to create or dictate policy. As a moderator whether you agree or disagree with community consensus your job will be to enable by enforcing whatever the consensus is. Even if moderator with very different ideals got elected, their election would not be a license to run rough shod over everybody else in another direction.
By keeping the copy part of nominations short, voters are more likely to vote on a balance of factors rather than on the content of a campaign statement. For starters, they might actually read through them all the options and consider them in a balanced manner (as opposed to writing off candidates whose posts are too long to read or too short to show what they stand for if they are an unknown or whatever other factors there may be). They are also more likely to vote based on other factors like their knowledge of the candidates previous meta participation, chat interactions, history of site actions, etc.
If your previous meta history and other site interactions doesn't already make your position and character clear, this is something to think about in the future not the week of but even years before elections. Even if you aren't selected this time, keep this in mind because there will be future elections on Christianity.SE too.
You can of course make as much information about yourself and your ideas as you like available through another venue. The SE team has suggested replying to the election announcement post with extended nomination data as answers if you'd like that option. You could also write something up off site and link it from your nomination. Also be sure to participate in chat and town-hall meta events that will be upcoming.

5 Mobile Checkout Flows to Maximize Conversions and Profits
A few weeks ago, I wrote this blog post about different onboarding flows. Today, let’s talk about onboarding’s counterpart: checkout.
I’m going to walk through 5 examples of well-established checkout flows of major retail and e-commerce apps to talk about what works and what doesn’t.
As with onboarding, what works for other apps may not work for your app. The purpose of this blog post is to look at execution approaches to generate ideas to A/B test in your app. The context and user base of every app is different so the checkout flows need to optimized for your specific situation. Apps that have a lot of user trust may not need to tell their users about security with credit card info. Apps that have a high rate of repeat users may not have to worry much about complexity of entering user info for the first time because most purchases are not made by new users. It all depends on your app.
1. Groupon
I think Groupon has one of the most well done check flows. It’s incredibly simple, and I never feel lost about what to do next. Of particular note is how the buy button is constant on the page. In the image below, I’m looking to buy a new deal. The first screen shows what I see when I land on the detailed view of the deal. The second screen shows what I see as I scroll down the page.
You’ll notice as I scroll that the buy button stays at the bottom of the page and doesn’t move. There is also copy next to button that tries to compel me to buy. After I click on buy, the app immediately takes me to a confirmation page. Since I’m a frequent Groupon user, all my info is already there. Completing the purchase is incredibly easy. If, however, this were my first time using the app, entering in each line of information is not confusing.
Another thing to note is that Groupon has removed the cart for mobile buyers. On their website, the buy button takes you to your cart where you can choose to continue shopping or check out. This is skipped on the mobile app. They have tested this and found that mobile users are usually looking for just one thing at a time.
2. Amazon
Amazon has been improving their app a lot over the last year or so. I remember a year ago when I could barely figure out how to find what I was looking for, let alone buy it. Now, their checkout is fairly streamlined.
The first screen above shows you what I see after I’ve clicked on an item. The ratings and value are prominently featured because those are Amazon’s main selling points. I have to scroll down a little to see the purchasing options (second screen). What’s really interesting is that I have to scroll even further to read a description of the book (not shown).
While Groupon’s app only gave me one buying option, Amazon gives me three. I chose “Add to Cart”. You’ll notice that the button didn’t change at all after I clicked it (third screen). Some apps will smartly let the user know that the item has been added to the cart, but this app does not. The only indication that the item was added is that my cart icon in the upper right corner now has a “1” in the cart. When I click on that icon, I’m taken to my cart (screen 4) where I can modify my cart and check out (screen 5).
I also looked at the iPad version of their app for comparison (below).
You’ll notice that the “Buy Now” option is gone. And because there is more screen real estate, the adding to cart causes a popup to show on the screen so that your recent addition is really clear. To get rid of the popup, you simply click anyone else on the screen. Again though, I wonder about how technology savvy the average user is. Is it intuitively obvious that tapping else where closes the popup?
One more thing to note is that the reviews for this app include many, many complaints about the number of times a password needs to be entered. This is another major issue that retail and e-commerce apps have to deal with: the balance between security and ease.
3. Evernote
For a quick change of pace, I’ve decided to throw a non-ecommerce app into the mix just to show a different variety of checkout–the upsell purchase. Here, I’m looking at the homepage of the free Evernote app.
At the button of the home screen above, you can see the prompt for me “Go Premium”. The button is the same color as the everything else on the screen, so it doesn’t stand a lot, but it is always there when I open the app. When I click on it, the app takes me to screen with two purchase options and reason to upgrade (second screen). Very standard stuff. If I click on one of the buttons, it opens an App Store prompt.
The interesting thing about this flow that I want to point out is what happens when I tap the back arrow at the top. The back arrow takes me back to the homepage but with a popup that tells me about yet another alternative to getting the premium version (screen 3). This is pretty brilliant. The app knows that I was interested, but maybe I thought the price was too high or I just wasn’t ready to decide yet. It basically says, “Oh wait, there’s this other option we didn’t tell you about. What about this?”
4. Home Depot
This is the Android app for a a very traditional brick and mortar establishment. This means that their priorities are different than an online only business like the three apps mentioned above. The first thing you’ll notice is that the app asks you for location information to determine the store nearest you before you even start browsing.
When I click on an item, above the fold is a image of the product, a message telling me that it’s available in my local store, and a teaser to product info at the bottom (first screen). I have to scroll in order to see reviews and add it to my cart (second screen). And even after I scroll to the section where I can add it to my cart, the app reminds me that pickup is free.
After click “Add to Cart”, I get three confirmations that the item was successfully added. A message pops up, the button copy changes, and the cart icon changes. Unlike the Amazon app, there is no way for me to wonder if I added the item. This also makes proceeding to check out much easier because the button tells me what I should next. In the Amazon app, I have to be familiar enough with online shopping to know to click on my cart (maybe all of Amazon’s shoppers are extremely tech savvy and this is not a problem).
At checkout, I’m again encouraged to select in-store pickup as my delivery option, but I can choose shipping as well (screen 4).
5. KAYAK
One of KAYAK’s most interesting A/B tests was regarding messaging on their checkout screen. Users often worry about payment security when purchasing things online and on their phones. KAYAK wondered if users were more likely to complete checkout when they were reassured of the security or if the warning would simply remind them that there could be security issues. So they tested it.
It turned out that the security warning was better and increased checkout completions. They could not have known this without first A/B testing it because some apps will experience the exact opposite results. Every app’s users are different and have a different relationship with the app, so these types of messages must be tested.
Conclusion
There are many components to an optimized checkout flow. The key is to A/B test each theory:
Messaging next to the buy button
Location of the buy button (e.g. before product details or after, fixed on the screen or not)
Behavior of the buy button after clicking (e.g. confirms the users action when an item is added to cart?)
