Manipulating nerve cells makes mice 'see' something that's not there Permanent liquid magnets have now been created in the lab Genetics, History of Science, Science & Society, Personal genetics, The history of heredity makes for a fascinating, and chilling, read 'She Has Her Mother's Laugh' chronicles how scientists have come to understand genetics Cori Vanchieri 9:00am, May 29, 2018 LAWS OF INHERITANCE Mosaics, individuals whose cells are not all genetically identical, are among the topics discussed in a new book about heredity. Mosaicism can cause a person to have two different colored eyes. PeFaFA/Shutterstock She Has Her Mother's Laugh Carl Zimmer Dutton, $30 The Elephant Man, novelist Pearl S. Buck and Phoebus, god of the sun, all find their way into science writer Carl Zimmer's latest book. In She Has Her Mother's Laugh, Zimmer uses famous moments in history — and Greek mythology — to explain genetics and how researchers have come to understand heredity and try to manipulate it. Zimmer walks through centuries of exploration, settling into stories of scientists who tried to use simplistic notions of heredity to improve the human race. While investigating inheritance, Francis Galton, who coined the term "eugenics," noticed that notable men had notable This article is only available to Science News subscribers. Already a subscriber?

Dallas bishop thinks proposed Dallas police policy changes go too far UPDATE 9/26/18: Jahwar asked FOX4 to update the story, saying he's in favor of officers carrying liability insurance. The killing of Botham Jean in his own apartment by off-duty Dallas Officer Amber Guyger has increased calls for change, but one Dallas bishop said some policy tweaks could make things worse. Bishop Omar Jahwar, who has grown from being in street gangs to now working to stop gang violence and better relations between people and police, disagrees with some of the proposed policy changes from chief hall and protesters. "My mind is on what do we do for real, not what do we do for show," Jahwar said. Jahwar is not in favor of giving subpoena powers to the citizens' police review board. "That is not where I stand, not yet. Right now what we need, we need citizens who understand what this is about as opposed to trying to figure out who I can bring in," Jahwar said. He also disagrees with Hall's idea to end the 72-hour waiting period before officers give a statement after a critical incident. He asks a different question. "So I know that there are certain people who are trying to do the right thing, but they get thrown in the bag and what if all officers say well, then y'all got it -- we out y'all," Jahwar. He supports the idea of police officers, as some suggest, carrying liability insurance. Jahwar would also like to see some type of body camera system on every officer that records automatically when a weapon is un-holstered so no one can forget to engage the device. He knows his opinions will be unpopular with some and he says he's okay with that. "I'm not trying to appeal to the mob and to the ones who, you know, job in their mind is to create havoc," Jahwar said. Jahwar said the real question is how is trust improved between police and the people they are charged to protect and serve. He has a meeting scheduled with Chief Hall where he said he will express his doubts about the changes.

History - Bug Seasoning | The H.A.M.B. Discussion in 'Traditional Hot Rods' started by J.Ukrop, Apr 12, 2019. Sancho, HEMI32, kidcampbell71 and 2 others like this. I just reread the broken tailbone story in #2, what a great adventure for a 16 year old! Now with GPS and cell phones, some of the chance encounters one might happen upon have been eliminated, making for a rather uneventful long distance trip. In 2003 I went to Bonneville and met two guys in a chopped 32 Ford who had driven out from Cinncinatti , the whole distance without any windows! Both had funny stories about bug encounters at speed while wearing goggles for protection. So Cal always has bug season in the spring and summer. A lot of times, the bees go crazy and fly everywhere, usually making a splat on the windshields of every car. The bad thing is that honey is not good, if left on the paint to dry and harden. Luckily, growing up in the Westside of Long Beach allowed us to be near some industrial areas and there happened to be one of those low cost $.10 or $.25 cents, high powered spray booths just down the street on PCH. The windows need something like Glass Plus or Streak Free Cleaner, as long as it is ammonia free. For some the old timers, the tried and true Windex works well. They even sell ammonia free versions for the finicky cleaners. Here is a post about HAMB's Deescott's adventures (@Deescott) at the recent Santa Barbara drags held last month, as reported by LBCD. Great photos from both postings! The event is over, praises have been given and here is one take on a So Cal happening. LBCD's coverage is pretty outstanding. It was like being there in person. That is the point of a great thread. KUDOS... Talk about getting right into the middle of things in So Cal. We have all been hit with a massive amount of "suicide butterflies" in the recent weeks. Your coupe shows the extent of the situation. That Model A grille is the perfect place to stop those pesky winged creatures. Sometimes, the residue comes off simply with a car wash, but for the daily clean up, those quick clean Meguiar's type cleaner sprays do the best job. There is something in that wax/cleaner that just dissolves the residue. So, a mark of So Cal driving is orange/yellow and splats on the windshield/grille. "The black-and-orange insects that suddenly seem to be everywhere in Southern California aren't Monarchs and they aren't moths. They are called Painted Ladies, and these butterflies are migrating by the millions across the state. The migration is nothing new. Painted Ladies set off from their wintering grounds in the Mojave and Colorado Deserts of Southeastern California as winter gives way to Spring." lumpy 63 and Lil32 like this. Love the "T".

A Second Chance for Transitional Justice... A Second Chance for Transitional Justice in Ukraine Ukraine deserves a second chance for democracy through Transitional Justice (TJ) measures. They can spark that process. Whether the Ukrainian Parliament's referral to the ICC of those responsible for the killings, torture and suppression over the past months on the Maidan and elsewhere in Ukraine is the best way of rebuilding trust in the weakened democracy remains to be seen. The ICC should always be seen as a court of last resort rather than the first option. Ukraine has, for the second time since its independence in 1991, a chance to come to terms with its unjust past, including the atrocities to which it has borne witness. TJ methods can be used to strengthen those democratic institutions that have failed to respond to citizens needs over the past months and years. To ask for punitive justice only, instead of TJ which leans towards a more stable democracy, is one of the biggest pitfalls to which the revolution could fall victim in its current pursuit of judicial remedy. Sadly enough, the past weeks and days in Ukraine have verified the assumption that a failure to terms with anunjust (communist) past, will continue to prevent a country from establishing legitimate democratic institutions, built upon citizens' trust. When old myths persist and old elites remain in power. It is just a matter of time until new conflicts will emerge – so it happened in Kiev and other major cities since past November. The post-independence lack of historical reckoning – concerning Soviet repression in general, but particularly the crimes of the Stalin period – coupled with the closure of archives has revealed that promises to introduce commissions of inquiry, issue trials or foster public debates were a complete farce. Eventually it led to a culture of impunity and irresponsibility of which the high level of corruption (Ukraine scores among the highest in international comparative measures) is a symptom of the political failures over the past 23 years. Instead, the culture of autocratic governance and corruption continued. Now Ukraine has a chance to end it. After the independence movements in the early 1990s, some post-communist countries did better in using TJ measures to strengthen their democratic institutions, others did not. Among the latter is Ukraine. Although Ukraine had all the prerequisites, such as an active and organized civil society, courts and international legal support – for example from the European Court of Human Rights, international CSOs, the OSCE, the EU and theCouncil of Europe in general- no initiative resulted in much success. The key components of any TJ process are to trigger a public debate about the past, to hold people responsible and accountable for their wrongdoings – thereby delegitimizing them – and to reestablish civic trust in democratic institutions which are deemed to have failed. Instead, in the Ukraine, as in many post-Soviet countries which may soon face similar outbreaks, such as Belarus and Russia, the KGB archives remained largely closed and punitive measures, such as trials, were used by the new political elite or oligarchs with the aim not of achieving national reconciliation, but of consolidating power. After Viktor Yanukovych won the presidential elections in 2010 he cleansed the state structure of those seen as antagonists, in particular those who aimed to pull Ukraine closer to a more democratic Europe. Yanukovych's methods in combating his political opponents included scurrilous means, such as alleged complicity in the poisoning of his presidential rival, Viktor Yushchenko, in 2004 or the targeting of former Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko in 2011 through a series of political trials. Now, 20-25 years after the transition, a new generation of Ukrainians will hold him accountable for his wrongdoings and hopefully will do so based on the human right to a fair and open trial – a human right his government has not guaranteed to others. Trials are one part of TJ measures but do not encompass the whole spectrum of TJ possibilities, let alone the whole process. Prosecution and trials against Viktor Yanukovych, his former interior minister Vitaly Zakharchenko and the former prosecutor general Viktor Pshonka and others should preferably take place inside Ukraine before Ukrainian courts and not before the ICC. The impact that trials on past injustices can have on reestablishing citizen trust in the – not yet – independent judiciary and therefore on the Rule of Law is higher if the trials take place inside the country where the conflict originated and not outside. One more aspect worth considering is that Ukrainian oligarchs, the opposition and the interim government have one thing in common: they aim to increase their ties to Europe and to loosen their ties to Russia. This is also a window of opportunity for TJ regardless of the geopolitical interests and therefore the economic and political pull factors by the EU and Russia Around 100 deaths and 2000 wounded protesters on all sides have been counted over the past weeks throughout the country. Each of them is one too many and could have been avoided. Their deaths stand as sad signals for change. Yet they mark the turning point for a second chance for TJ in a divided society if the interim government listens to the claims of people for justice and reconciliation, not for vengeance and tiresome power games. TJ measures, such as vetting and lustration mechanism (laws that allow for examine peoples level of involvement in the past regime) for example, of former members of governmental, police or secret service authorities. Public acknowledgements, memorials and punitive measures can help to delegitimize the Yanukovich regime. If TJ measures are announced and realized with enough self-reflection and criticism they can legitimize the new regime. If this opportunity is missed, it will take another generation to do it. Once the window is opened for TJ measures, the Ukraine will have to face two autocratic and unjust regimes and therefore two generations of unatoned past at the same time. This is not necessarily impossible, as has been seen in other post-communist countries like Poland or East Germany which have also had to deal with two very different autocratic and dictatorial regimes during the same TJ process. But such a context does not make the TJ process easier. The unresolved Soviet past and the autocratic regime of the past two decades is a double burden to Ukrainians CSOs, the judiciary and legislators alike. Nor will the process unfold in a vacuum: Russia and the European Union both have great economic and geopolitical interests in the region and will do anything possible to stress their interests. Some of these external interests are not salutary to the establishment of TJ measures given the extent to which commissions of inquiry, memorials, public debates, literature and films as well as trials shed lights on the wrongdoings committed by all sides, victims and victimizers alike. Nevertheless, if the interim government under Oleksander Turchinov repeats the vicious game of "victor's justice" until and beyond the next elections held on 25 May 2014 it will merely lead to history repeating itself. Issuing an arrest warrant against Yanukovych and asking the ICC to take up his case is one thing; also issuing warrants against protesters or leaders deemed responsible for violence during the past months in Kiev and elsewhere, is another. The claim for justice is an easy one to make in the light of the many victims of the Maidan and elsewhere – asAmnesty International has highlighted – but to realize it remains a challenge. If successfully done, based on international human rights norms, it could contribute to a better understanding of what the Rule of Law means: no one is above the law and less so if he or she supports or uses violence for whatever cause. TJ measures are only one element to interrupt the vicious circle of power games and in return bring evidence of the misconduct of all sides, Russian, Ukrainians, oligarchs and politicians or opposition leaders alike and because all sides either share responsibilities or have suffered, too. The process creates understanding and empathy and therefore helps to shape new legislation during the law reform process that is just about to begin. But it should leave no room for political or personally motivated vengeance- which is often the case. Memorials have to acknowledge all victims regardless which side they come from and public trials ought to address the wrongdoings of all parties involved. Excluding from justice those who succeed in the struggle of the past months on the Maidan, or during the Euromaidan as some call it, would be a fatal error and would hamper the democratic process. Ultimately, TJ is only used to catalyze democratic processes and to strengthen democratic institutions such as the independent judiciary and effective legislative powers, only if all interest groups in society are involved in the decision-making process, winners and losers alike.

Improved Methodology for Accurate Prediction of Blast Wave Clearing on a Finite Target | Journal of Engineering Mechanics | Vol 148, No 9 Jul 4, 2022 Blast wave, Clearing, Diffraction, Strong shocks AbstractAccurate estimation of blast loads on a structure requires consideration of several complex phenomena during interaction with the target surface. One such phenomenon is the clearing effect observed during the diffraction of blast waves from finite reflecting targets. A clearing wave is generated due to the pressure difference between the edge and internal locations of the target surface, which reduces the reflected impulse at the considered location on the target surface. The state of the practice relies on simplified empirical methods to predict the clearing effects, which are often inaccurate or may also be unconservative. Past analytical studies on the clearing effect have mainly focused on weak blast, where the clearing wave speed is assumed to be the ambient sound speed. In the present study, the authors propose a methodology to include the effect of clearing on reflected overpressure history for strong blasts by considering an average clearing wave speed computed using the ideal gas law. The modified approach was verified and validated with existing literature and benchmarked against numerical studies. The proposed clearing methodology was shown to address the limitations of the current state of practice. Finally, a simplified version of the proposed clearing model was presented in the form of charts that can be used to compute the reflected overpressure history, including the effect of clearing on a finite-surface rectangular target.

Xconomy New York FoodTechWrap: Robots Delivering Meals, Making Custom Salads in SF CymaBay Therapeutics Stumbles in NASH Race, Shares Fall Bart Lorang CEO, FullContact Alexandra Wilkis Wilson Founder, Gilt Groupe Alexis Borisy Partner, Third Rock Ventures New York Home New York Events Getting Down to Business with L'Oréal USA's Women in Digital Winners João-Pierre S. Ruth There comes a point when every "new" campaign to nurture startups either matures itself or fades away. L'Oréal USA's Women in Digital looks like it plans to stick around. Now in its fourth year, the annual program continues to provide mentorship to three woman-led startups, who also get a shot at running pilots with the cosmetics giant. Though the matter of diversity and gender in tech has been a frequent media topic this year, the disparity persists in the community—but some inroads are being made. The winners of this year's NEXT Generation Awards from the Women in Digital program are Sian Morson, founder and CEO of Cast Beauty; Rachel Tipograph, founder and CEO of MikMak; and Katherine Ryder, founder and CEO of Maven. More mobile-first and consumer-facing companies were among the applicants this year, says Rachel Weiss, vice president of innovation and entrepreneurship for L'Oréal USA and chair of the program. That compares with last year's entrants, who were heavily into analytics and enterprise software. But beyond a shift in focus among the hopefuls, Weiss says Women in Digital can now point to the efforts of some graduates for validation. "Now we have a pipeline of women who are mentoring each other and have either sold their businesses, or pivoted their business and are on to something new," she says. New York-based alumnus Poptip, for example, was acquired in 2014 by Palantir Technologies for undisclosed terms. In prior years, the winners from the program were presented at a soiree with celebrities such as Aimee Mullins and Olivia Munn. Last week, though, the winners came together at a closed event just for L'Oréal marketers and executives. Teams responsible for the company's different brands got the chance to meet with the winners, Weiss says, to explore the possibility of working together in the future. A grand prize winner is guaranteed a pilot with one of L'Oréal's brands. The founders chosen this year all share an ingrained wish to build their own companies. Cast Beauty's Morson says she comes from an entrepreneurial family. Her app uses weather data to give personalized skin and hair care recommendations, and help users decide which products to buy. While working in the corporate scene she decided she wanted full control of her endeavors. "I was empowered to think in an entrepreneurial way, even within an established corporate structure," she says. Morson started her career as a project manager in advertising, and a project in the early days of mobile gave her the nudge to branch out on her own. At the time, smartphones were just starting to emerge and the ad industry had yet to embrace mobile devices as mediums to reach customers. "This was before the iPhone came out; of course that changed everything," she says. Cast Beauty developed out of a personal need, Morson says, to know the effects and changes the weather might have on her skin and hair. Seeing that other women shared this issue prompted her efforts to find a technology-driven solution. Ambition is not always enough to build up a company. Ryder, who as a journalist worked with The Economist, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker in New York and overseas in Singapore and London, called moving to foreign cities and getting established in those locales an entrepreneurial act. "At a certain point, I wanted to build something rather than write about what other people were building," she says. However, Ryder says her first attempt at starting a business, in the Chinese travel sector, "failed miserably." Despite that letdown, she believed she could create a company—with a bit more experience. She worked in venture capital with Index Ventures, learning how to fundraise, and also fleshed out her personal network of entrepreneurs and investors. "Some of them are investors in Maven," she says.

The Train of Lost Things (Hardcover) By Ammi-Joan Paquette Philomel Books, 9781524739393, 208pp. Publication Date: March 20, 2018 A magical story about a boy's love for his dying father and his journey to the mythic Train of Lost Things, where beloved lost objects are rescued and protected until they can be returned. Perfect for fans of The Phantom Tollbooth, The Bridge to Terabithia, and Lost in the Sun. Marty cherishes the extra-special birthday present his dad gave him -- a jean jacket on which he's afixed numerous buttons -- because it's a tie to his father, who is sick and doesn't have much time left. So when his jacket goes missing, Marty is devastated. When his dad tells him the story of the Train of Lost Things, a magical train that flies through the air collecting objects lost by kids, Marty is sure that the train must be real, and that if he can just find the train and get his jacket back, he can make his dad better as well. It turns out that the train is real -- and it's gone out of control! Instead of just collecting things that have been accidentally lost, the train has been stealing things. Along with Dina and Star, the girls he meets aboard the train, Marty needs to figure out what's going on and help set it right. As he searches for his jacket, and for a way to fix the train, Marty begins to wonder whether he's looking for the right things after all. And he realizes that sometimes you need to escape reality in order to let it sink in. In this achingly beautiful adventure, it is the power of memories, and the love between a father and son, that ultimately save the day.

South Korea's SpaceX lunar project is postponed to 2022 The South Korean government's plan to use a SpaceX projectile to search the orbit of the moon has been postponed to July 2022. SUSAN CIPRIANO/PIXABAY The South Korean government's plan to use a SpaceX projectile to search the orbit of the moon has been postponed to July 2022, the Ministry of Science and ICT said on Tuesday, amid lingering disputes over the projectile's weight and design. During a press briefing in Sejong city, the ministry announced that it had decided to delay the lunar projectile's launch by 19 months. The projectile was supposed to be launched in December next year. According to the government, there had been disputes among space experts about the ideal weight of the projectile at an early phase of the lunar programme. The debate became more intense when the government decided to choose the SpaceX projectile over a home-grown one in 2017. "Our project was delayed because we can't bridge the gaps between the researchers," Choi Won-ho, a ministry official, told reporters. "There has been a clash of opinions whether a 678kg projectile can carry out the mission." According to the government's new lunar search programme, the weight of the projectile would increase to 678kg from its previous 550kg. The changed plan also called for the projectile to search the moon in a combination of circular and oval orbit. Now that the government has changed the projectile's weight and orbit path, the lunar search project is expected to require more budget. It is expected to be more than 16 billion won ($14 million). Since the former Roh Moo-hyun administration vowed to send a projectile for lunar orbit search by 2020, there have been many ups and downs in the project. The subsequent Park Geun-hye administration moved up the timeline to 2017, but later pushed it back to 2018.

One of the most powerful features of Burble Bookings is the ease in which groups can make reservations. For years, online reservations systems have forced group leaders to individually call the DZ to add additional names to a group booking and pay a deposit. In other words, other systems made it difficult for groups to spend money with us and on our terms (only during our operational hours). With Burble Bookings, groups can book online 24/7 with ease. When a group leader makes a booking, the system automatically assigns a group number. The group leader can share this number easily on social media or with friends. This allows your customers to recruit and market for your DZ! With that group number, group members can quickly add themselves to the time slot, night or day! Our DZ clients love this feature because the system not only takes bookings but it makes it easy for your clients to build their group sizes which adds to your bottom line. Makes it quick and easy for the customer to get a group together.

"Barbara had been instrumental in helping us close on our home; despite the numerous challenges we faced from various parties, Barbara was consistently reliable, prompt and professional. Without her expertise and tenacity, we may have missed a great opportunity." "Barbara was great about the keeping me informed, and really knows the market in our area for the type of property I had to list. My property listed and sold in 60 days." "We contracted with Barbara Byrne in the spring of 2012 to sell our home of 45 years. Barbara explained to us the need to consider our house as a commodity to sell rather than our home to live in. She told us of the necessities of putting the house in excellent condition and of staging the interior, all of which we did to her specifications. Our house was then put on the market with an asking price that was set with the help of the extensive information that Barbara provided for us. As a result of Barbara's skill and professionalism 35 interested parties toured our property and it was sold in less that two weeks after being put on the market. Consequently, we heartily recommend Barbara Byrne as a consummate real estate professional." "Barb was wonderful to work with. She was extremely patient with us when we were indecisive. She has a tremendous knowledge of the Northbrook market and was very accommodating to us in our schedules for seeing homes. We would definitely recomend her." "Barbara has been excellent to work with. Her immense knowledge of the North Shore is very apparent, and she works hard to make the entire buying/selling process easy. We love Barbara and are so happy she helped us find our home!"

Search For Bird Name Dow Lambert dowlambert@gmail.com HOME | WHAT'S NEW | BIRDING LINKS | WEATHER LINKS | ABOUT | FAQ | BIRDING LOCATIONS | COPYRIGHT | Dow's Bird Photos My last report on the Purple Martin Colony at 3 Crabs was just over two years ago (See Purple Martin Nests). Shortly after that the old creosote-covered pilings that supported the 18 nest boxes were removed, and replaced by three steel pilings. For details on that process see (forthcoming). Today, Ken, Bob, Laura and I checked the nest boxes to get a count on eggs and chicks. Fourteen of the boxes had active nests, with at least 51 chicks and still two unhatched eggs. Four of the boxes were either bare or had partial nests. Below are pictures of the fourteen nests with chicks. Each piling has two stacks of three nest boxes. The boxes in the first stack on the first piling are labeled, from top to bottom, 1A, 1B, 1C. The second stack is labeled 2A, 2B and 2C, etc. Checking nest boxes on 7/21/2020 and 6/26/2020. Photos by Laura Davis Boxes 1A and 1B, 3 Crabs Colony, 7/21/2020 Boxes 1C and 2A, 3 Crabs Colony, 7/21/2020 Boxes 2B and 2C, 3 Crabs Colony, 7/21/2020 Boxes 5B and 6A, 3 Crabs Colony, 7/21/2020 Bird of the Day Purple Martins In 2005 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service invited the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society to expand our Purple Martin colony at 3 Crabs by adding nest boxes on Protection Island. The island is a National Wildlife Refuge and there are stringent restrictions on access to the island, so OPAS was delighted to accept this rare invitation. (Please do not attempt to go to Protection Island to look for Purple Martins. You can see them much more easily at the 3 Crabs location.) We now have six nest boxes on the island. I became a Refuge volunteer in 2009 so that I could assist in maintaining the Protection Island colony. The Refuge staff provide transportation for 2-3 volunteers several times a year to put up the boxes in late April, check them 2-3 times durig the nesting season, and take them down to store after the birds have started their return migration to South America. For more information, see : Purple Martin Nest Box Study, This year Laura, Alan and I put up the six nest boxes on Protection Island on April 25th, a couple weeks later than normal. Within minutes, we had Purple Martins landing on the boxes. Today Ken and I hitched a ride to the island with Refuge staff to check the boxes. Five of the six boxes had five eggs each. Only Box 3 had no eggs, but it had a dozen fresh green leaves lining the nest, and after we checked that box a female entered and spent at least ten minutes inside. We rather suspect she layed her first egg during that time. So this promises to be an excellent nesting season for the Protection Island colony. Purple Martin Box 1 at Protection Island, WA, 7/6/2018

The Bois Blanc Island Site .::. View topic - Hello! Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 5:11 pm Post subject: Hello! My name is Cindy Kibilko and I think most of you might be familiar with my family. I am Bill Owens' oldest daughter and granddaughter of Dorothy and SL Owens. Marilyn Kidder is my aunt. I've lots of family that are on the Island regularly. 2010 was my first trip to the island in over 30 years. Thankfully not much has changed. I have lots of fond memories of the island and it is was my goal last year to introduce the island to my grandsons and get my Dad back up there. He too had been away for a very long time. We hope to return more often. The island is so peaceful and relaxing. Welcome to the site, Cindy! And back to BBI! She missed you.. Funny how a well loved place can wrap you in warmth every time no matter the distance in time.. Hi Cindy, I am Tony Babcock. When I was growing up on the island the Owens family was one of the families that we did work for and enjoyed being around. I did a little work for them when I worked for the Hoover Family. Your Grandma was always a kind and generous person. It is always good to go back to the island, fond memories of the people and things you did when we were young. My Dad Victor is still living there and many of my family still live there or own property and come up in the summer. I owen the place right behind the Hoover's tennis cort. Have a great day and hope to see you up there some time. You are one person to the world, but you may be the world to one person. Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 9:35 am Post subject: Thank you! Thank you both for the welcome. I will try to look you up on our next trip up there. Tony, my Dad was looking forward to seeing Victor and Ray this past year but we were unable to get them together. I know they would all enjoy seeing each other again. Hi Cindy the pictures that you put on were great. I did pick out a quite a few people who I knew. It was hard to reconize some. I was born in 1953 so some i could remember but some was about the time i was born. There are 350 varieties of shark, not counting loan and pool. Everyone of those pictures was before I was in high school. And some before I was born. I like some that shouldn't be in color but are. Those were asome......and like Big Al said. I can't belive how good shap they are in....are they slides? wow - Neat pictures of the first boat I rode on in 1970!! I love all the pictures ..since I was a native of the island these pictures mean so much to me !! These pictures are historical and copies need to be put in the Historical Society Museum. As historian for the Society, I ask, please burn these to a CD or DVD for the island museum. You can send them to me and I will accession them for the museum. I already have a snug place to store images on CD or DVD at the museum. Ron, in one picture I recognize the Ada M, the first boat I rode to the island on in 1950. In other pictures, I also recognize my grandmother, Ila Calkins, and Roberta Babcock. Also my cousin, Connie Faye Feeley. Also, a very young Bert Gahn and Mick Caulkins. And others. If I can get these pictures for the society, many of these people would be recorded. These are such awesome pictures. Excellent! And the storm pictures are so chilling. Must have been so scary. These were all slides. My father is a professional photographer who started in high school and still lives with his camera around his neck. The island was one of his favorite subjects. He has a closet dedicated to his photos. My brother-in-law, Fred, was laid off for about 8 months and took on the project of scanning the slides, just under 10,000 of them. We found it amazing too what wonderful shape they were in. We have not yet begun to go through his prints that will be another monumental task. I've been enjoying this too. I will get these burned to a CD/DVD and get them in mail to you. Thanks for doing that. Any pictures taken on BBI are welcome. Send a short biography about your grandparents and parents and you along with it. Then I can link the pictures to the family in the computer system. Anyone else who has historical pictures can do the same thing. Try to give the names of the people in the picture if possible, but everything in the picture is important. Yes, I remember Shirley Owens supervising the community building project. I was there as the youngest worker involved in building that. Mike and Cindy....I have been talking to Curt Plaunt and he is interested in any pics that have their boats in them they are updating their web site. It is so great seeing these old pics of the island, thanks so much for sharing. Tony and Mike, I've mailed a CD with pictures today to Mike. I'm sure Dad would be proud to have a photo posted on the Plaunt's wedsite. I'm sure we will find more good shots as we start to scan the photos. This has been my pleasure.

Home / Archives / Annual Lists / The Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker 2019: Big Cities The Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker 2019: Big Cities By Ryan Stewart on January 16, 2019 7. Toronto, Ontario Toronto's film concerns these days are largely high-class, such as not enough stages and square footage to accommodate the demand for production. A major undertaking to revitalize the city's Port Lands waterfront area that broke ground in early 2018 is tied to an acknowledged need for a bigger footprint for film studios. In early September plans were also unveiled for First Studio City, a 400,000-square-foot production facility in Markham, Ontario (the Greater Toronto area) that will cater to the tentpoles that've flocked to central Toronto and Vancouver in recent years. The facility is expected to cost $100 million by 2020 and part of its mandate will be to attract productions from Chinese and Bollywood markets, a sign of the times. Its central attraction will be a 70,000 square-foot stage that will dwarf the 46,500 square-foot stage at Pinewood Toronto Studios. Ontario's 21.5 percent film and TV tax credit (and 18 percent animation/VFX credit) continue to be a draw to major players. Some "Hollywood North" products that filmed in Toronto in the fall included the second season of Star Trek: Discovery, the third season of The Handmaid's Tale, the Jessica Chastain-starring horror bookend It: Chapter Two, and Neill Blomkamp's disaster epic Greenland, starring Chris Evans. Even more is expected in 2019 when CBS Television Studios opens a new 260,000-square-foot production hub in Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. When it opens in summer 2019 it will be comprised of six sound stages, support and auxiliary facilities, and office space. CBS produces 63 series and will use the hub to ramp up TV production for broadcast, cable, and streaming. Disney is also making a push into streaming, and much like Amazon, Apple, Hulu, YouTube and Netflix, they all have eyes for Toronto. Not to neglect the city's thriving indie and documentary scene: Mathieu Pierre Dagonas, Executive Director of Documentary Organization of Canada, a non-profit representing Canadian documentarians, tells MovieMaker that documentaries are having a resurgence with Canadian audiences. "The high attendance at Hot Docs and TIFF point to the popularity of the genre," he notes. "Documentaries are more important than ever in the era of 'fake news' as they shine a light on topics of public interest. Audiences want to be informed and to engage with the issues of their city." He adds that Toronto is "the envy of other production centers in that we have a public funding model and public leaders who've shown strength in maintaining Toronto as a production destination. This comes in many forms, whether it's our tax credits or elected officials going on international missions to promote our talent. Additionally, some notable indie shoots in the Toronto area in recent months have included a remake of Toronto-born David Cronenberg's Rabid, helmed by Canadian horror phenoms Jen and Sylvia Soska, and the Bonnie & Clyde-tinged romantic thriller Heavy, from director Jouri Smit. "We've had an excellent experience shooting in Toronto," says Heavy producer David Atrakchi. "One of the challenges was finding our iconic locations to match New York and most importantly match our budget. We felt the city was very busy with bigger shows, leaving little room for an independent film to coexist, but nevertheless we overcame this challenge and managed, through our location manager, to pull phenomenal sets." Director Andy Muschietti and star Jessica Chastain wrap a bloody good time on the Toronto set of It: Chapter Two.

I would love to go to Albuquerque. Currently live in Tucson. Richard Schoenberger Joeseph, then do it! This industry does not favor the meek, you need to get on it! There will never be a "good time" to move, you have to decide what your priorities are, pack your stuff and get in the car. A super easy (and beautiful) drive from Tucson. BeepBop So are we talking mostly production crew jobs for these cities? What about post-production? Seems like a lot of productions are still farming out the post work to post houses back in LA, including overnighting dailies back and forth via FedEx. Mike Thomas Leghorn LOL Cinestate in Dallas – "Dallas has the most bang for the buck" However they only shoot their micro budget films in Dallas. Anything with a decent budget goes out of state to an incentive based area. This is for Bruce… If you're new or just entering this industry LA and NY are the last places you want to go… that is unless you want to either a) edit for a porn house or b) work at a red Lobster to survive while to wait your turn to get in behind a million others wanting to do the same thing. As for Altanta- good luck with that. How ya gonna network with people? It's so sprawled out your chances of running into another industry person at a restaurant, bar or other social atmosphere is right up there with being struck by lightning. As for Texas, it's not a film hub state. Ontario you say? Well, might as well be in Atlanta. Not only is New Mexico a thriving production hub, it's a MAJOR incentive state, so much so Netflix outright purchased Albuquerque Studios just a few months ago. Aside from that few major studio executives want to travel to Atlanta. On the other hand Santa Fe is a luxury city, just 1.5 hr flight from LA, and major studio executives make excuses to visit and that leads me to networking. Santa Fe while being posh it really quaint. Literally every time I've visited, stayed at a hotel, visited a bar, or just grabbed a coffee I've met someone in the industry. Next, less competition… in New Mexico there is high demand for crew and not always enough crew available, making it easier for someone to break in. For those of us that have a strong personal network it doesn't matter where you live because your network keeps you gainfully employed. So starve in LA and NY with a high cost of living, or start working, networking and learning in a place like New Mexico? Hey J, I really appreciate this because I never would have thought to look in New Mexico. I will definitely start my search. I do love California, but maybe once I actually have connections I'll then consider moving. Peter Matthews Very interesting. Did you only consider the Americas in this survey? Frank Casanova Outside of the top 10 or 11 noted here, the rest are generally considered "locations", not production centers. A city must have significant production infrastructure to be a production center. Most don't have that. Moreover, the "deals" will still be made in Los Angeles and New York. Carnahan is just wishin' and hopin'. Absolutely stunned that this compilation left out Cleveland, Ohio–where many comic book block busters have been made in recent years. Cleveland has a wonderful, hard-working Film Commission, and a significant tax credit. Plus there is a great talent base there, the people are friendly, and cost of living is relatively low. What more can you ask for? Meh. If you want to work as a filmmaker – meaning getting paid for your work, and working consistently – you're still better off in Los Angeles or New York. Or Atlanta, which has done great work in positioning itself as a hub where production professionals can work steadily. This is not to say that the other cities on the list don't have thriving film scenes (as an ex Austinite with many friends in the Austin and San Antonio film communities, I am well aware that much talent and passion exists all over the country), but unless you want to make your income primarily from, say, car dealership commercials, you're better off in ATL, NYC or LA. (Not that there's anything wrong with doing car dealership commercials, btw! The tone of the article suggests that we're primarily talking about feature film and TV work, though) .Arrogant ass. Our crews are THE BEST and would kick ass over any orher city's production team(s). What an idiot. ANTI-SNARK Jon, you come off just as arrogant! Our crews are very good but many have left NM for NYC. Your war cry makes us look bad. Back off and let our work do the talking! Jon, seems like you're the arrogant ass. Bruce was only being truthful about the best production cities. At the end of the day, there's plenty of talented crews in the states mentioned. What have you done that's "so called" better than other crews? Grow up. The TX tax incentives suck and there's really not any productions going on in the state. Only Robert Rodriguez movies, who is an awesome filmmaker. How about you move to where the action really is and prove yourself??? You're immature ego is ridiculous.

A wild Charbok appeared! He wanted some practice games in for his Gargos, so I made him run the gauntlet. It's the only way, right? It's all about tough love. Time to reveal ???. The player behind the last few vids was actually xMoxyMayhamx. His Riptor and Kim Wu play has always been very strong. We sit down and decide to play a few casuals. Thanks for stopping by, Moxy! Geez, 400? Thank you to everyone who's ever watched and participated in these sets. For the first time ever, Devil stopped by to pay a visit. We first met by playing Titanfall together, and then we found each other in KI Ranked one time. I told him some advice and he basically told me to f*** off. Since then, not only did we become best friends, he decided to put his pride aside, get better, take advice (positive and harsh) and become the TJ player you all know today. From his very first major (Killer Instinct World Cup 2016) to his recent journey with Soul Calibur VI here at East Coast Throwdown, we sit down to play a few matches to celebrate fun, friendship, and growth (ayo). Killer Instinct Rough Sets playlist updated. Texas Black Sheep's Hank Hill hit me up for some Mira practice a while ago. Here's how it went down. Enjoy. Say no more. Ready? Fight! Oh lord, I'm having to take breaks in the middle of watching this; my beginner brain just can't take it all in. I think I ran into you in Ranked and was just happy I didn't get perfect'ed; I'm even more happy about it now. Super glad to see a new vid! I've been missing this stuff. Three matches in and digging it. PS. If Nate sees this, he probably could have won that first set much earlier on that lockout if he did the full combo and put in a final HP double. I had a theory that turned out to be right; it hurts my brain because it's 2 characters I'm not familiar with doing high-level stuff. I watched one where Bass is fighting a Hisako, and that was much easier. Over a year ago, Nate and I did a set between good and evil. The long awaited runback happens now. There is some wicked stuff even just at the start of that set. Check out some high level Orchid/Cinder gameplay in this FT10. That Cinder/Orchid set is really cool. @Infilament, do you have it in you to do an analysis of that?

In the nineties, he worked as a writer and producer for Valiant Comics, where he took some early steps in the transmedia world by adapting comics such as Turok for games on the Nintendo and PlayStation platforms. You may be left with one burning question: What on earth is transmedia storytelling? The history of the concept is disputed – some trace it back to Samuel Richardson's 1740 novel Pamela, or, Virtue Rewarded, which spawned a series of early "merchandise" including paintings and themed playing cards, as well as unlicensed sequels and satires. But, it was not until the internet age that transmedia really began to develop. Early online games like Ong's Hat in the early '90s required players to not only play within the game itself but find clues from bulletin boards, print and broadcast media, DVDs and photocopied pamphlets, in order to fully understand the game's backstory and win. In 1998, transmedia's watershed moment came – as well as probably the first (and possibly the most successful) adoption of the technique by a movie. The makers of The Blair Witch Project, a film shot for under US$60,000 (Dh220,386), built a website. Purporting to be factual, it told the story of three filmmakers who had gone missing while making a documentary about the 'witch' in Maryland. There were also historical details, biographies of the filmmakers, interviews with locals and police and clips of recovered footage. For more than a year, news on the "ongoing investigation" and new facts would come to light on the site – the film was barely mentioned at first. Books were published, newspapers tried to prove or disprove the story. The makers were so attentive to detail, an IMDB search of the film's three stars revealed they were "missing, presumed dead". By the time the film came out in July 1999, the website had attracted 22 million hits – a big number in pre-widespread broadband days. As a final tour de force, the producers released the most talked-about film of the year on 27 screens, keeping the lo-fi mystique. When The Blair Witch Project went on wider release, it grossed $248.6m, making it the most profitable movie in history, until Paranormal Activity 10 years later. The film had set a template, and Gomez was among the first to follow it, founding his own transmedia production company, Starlight Runner, in 2000. Gomez takes up the story in 2003: "When Pirates of the Caribbean came out, Disney were totally unprepared for its success. Pirate movies hadn't done well recently, [and]Johnny Depp wasn't a particularly big star at that point. The plot was convoluted and complex, and Jack Sparrow is such a complicated character, that no one really expected much from the film," he tells me. "Then it went huge. But there was no Pirates content available on any other platforms. You had this huge multimedia company with so many different departments, and they weren't maximising the potential of this smash-hit movie. A lot of the divisions within Disney weren't even familiar with the property. They didn't understand why it was so successful, or how to replicate that with a line of toys or T-shirts or novels or comic books." By the time Disney drafted Gomez in as a consultant, "the train had already left the station," he says. His job was to ensure the sequel was more profitable. Disney gave him carte blanche to dissect the movie, analyse its success and come up with a "guide book" to maximise the property's multimedia success. "You need to get right inside the product and understand why it's so successful," he explains. "If it's just the star, how does that help with a comic book or a toy? It all has to be utterly authentic to people's first experience of the brand as you jump to other media to explore other pieces of content that are set in the same world. You wouldn't put Jack Sparrow on a tube of toothpaste – have you seen his teeth?" Gomez and his theories have since become a cornerstone of Disney's marketing strategy – he followed a similar routine with the Star Wars and Marvel franchises, and other studios have snapped up his talents, including Fox for Avatar and Sony for Spider-Man. Dubai-based film producer Michelle Nickelson, who is working alongside Gomez on the Antar the Black Knight comic and film franchise, recalls walking around the Middle East Film and Comic Con with her new colleague: "Literally every stand, it was 'Oh – I made that. And that," she laughs. Gomez is modest about his influence, however: "I can't take credit for the success of Marvel or Star Wars, but I'll take a small bit of credit for some of their transmedia profits."

Histone deacetylase inhibitor AR-42 differentially affects cell-cycle transit in meningeal and meningioma cells, potently inhibiting NF2-deficient meningioma growth Sarah S. Burns, Elena M. Akhmametyeva, Janet L. Oblinger, Matthew L. Bush, Jie Huang, Volker Senner, Ching Shih Chen, Abraham Jacob, D. Bradley Welling, Long Sheng Chang Meningiomas constitute about 34% of primary intracranial tumors and are associated with increased mortality in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). To evaluate potential medical therapies for these tumors, we have established a quantifiable orthotopic model for NF2-deficient meningiomas. We showed that telomeraseimmortalized Ben-Men-1 benign meningioma cells harbored a single nucleotide deletion in NF2 exon 7 and did not express the NF2 protein, merlin. We also showed that AR-42, a pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor, inhibited proliferation of both Ben-Men-1 and normal meningeal cells by increasing expression of p16INK4A, p21CIP1/WAF1, and p27KIP1. In addition, AR-42 increased proapoptotic Bim expression and decreased anti-apoptotic BclXL levels. However, AR-42 predominantly arrested Ben-Men-1 cells at G2-M whereas it induced cell-cycle arrest at G1 in meningeal cells. Consistently, AR-42 substantially decreased the levels of cyclin D1, E, and A, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen in meningeal cells while significantly reducing the expression of cyclin B, important for progression through G2, in Ben-Men-1 cells. In addition, AR-42 decreased Aurora A and B expression. To compare the in vivo efficacies of AR-42 and AR-12, a PDK1 inhibitor, we generated and used luciferase-expressing Ben-Men-1-LucB cells to establish intracranial xenografts that grew over time. While AR-12 treatment moderately slowed tumor growth, AR-42 caused regression of Ben-Men-1-LucB tumors. Importantly, AR-42-treated tumors showed minimal regrowth when xenograft-bearing mice were switched to normal diet. Together, these results suggest that AR-42 is a potential therapy for meningiomas. The differential effect of AR-42 on cell-cycle progression of normal meningeal and meningioma cells may have implications for why AR-42 is well-tolerated while it potently inhibits tumor growth. 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-12-1888 Dive into the research topics of 'Histone deacetylase inhibitor AR-42 differentially affects cell-cycle transit in meningeal and meningioma cells, potently inhibiting NF2-deficient meningioma growth'.

Ps- NEW website is up and running…still under construction, so please bear with me as I make the remaining additions and changes. 🙂 All feedback on the layout, etc. welcome. Last Friday night, my husband and I (toddler free!…thank-you to my lovely sister for babysitting!) attended the 'Quest Business Achiever Awards' night for businesses who were Finalists in the Caboolture region. This event was held at the Narangba Community Centre, and we were lucky to be seated with some lovely people from other local businesses within the region. Lots of chatting, laughs, some wine, tasty meals, and the entertainment, provided by one of Brisbane's hottest party bands, 'Hot Sauce', was simply fabulous. A great night out! Thank-you 'Quest Newspapers'. Congratulations to all 2011 winners, and good luck in 2012!!! NEWSFLASH!!! The studio is expanding it's services, and is currently organising more instrumental teachers to come on board, and offer their tuition services. This will allow us to broaden our selection of instrumental tuition available. Teachers will either be travelling to the students' homes, and/or teaching from their own home music studio. More info coming soon!!! Watch this space! I'm excited!!! It is with great excitement that I announce that the studio has progressed to FINALIST status in the 'Quest Business Achiever Awards'!!! Yippee! This means that we have been ranked by YOU, as one of the top 6 businesses in the Caboolture shire, in the category of 'Tuition, Training & Recreational Programs'. Just a little bit excited (if you didn't guess)! Thank-you once again to all who voted! I really appreciate how supportive you all are with both my business, and my family (with some of you having gone through some of our earlier family health issues over the years, with Michael, and then myself and Bailey with his early birth…wow, what a ride!). Please keep me posted with any feedback that you have at any time, as I truly do take on board all that I receive. Thanks once again, everyone! You and your children make it all worthwhile!!! Simply the best! Wow! For such devastation that has occurred around the state during these holidays, the true, hard-working, 'help ya mate', tough, courageous, 'true blue' spirit has really shone through! I am truly proud to call myself a Queenslander!!! So much has been lost- lives (incl. pets), homes, schools, businesses, precious irreplaceable belongings, etc….however, it appears that a lot of greatness has also come of these tragedies through mateship, occurring in so many forms. From those helping with the physical clean-up (the 'Mud Army'); to those donating any amount of money that they can; to donating furniture, clothing, toys, food, etc.; to providing temporary accommodation even for entire families; to baking food for those now homeless, AND the 'Mud Army'…the list is endless. I always knew that Queenslanders were a great bunch…but I think you'll agree with me when I say that no words can adequately describe just how great our state has now been proven to be. I'm sure that you are all well and truly aware of the following link, and have donated all that you possibly can, but just in case, here's the link with payment information for those wishing to donate to the 'Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal': http://www.qld.gov.au/community/disasters/floods/donate/ (accepting donations through to Dec. 31st 2011). Students- see you from THIS Monday. Much love, peace, comfort, and hugs to everyone. Belated Christmas wishes to you all, and 'hi' for 2011. Wow…what an overwhelming start to 2011! Where to even begin?! I am so so so deeply saddened to see and hear what has been happening in our community (as I know you are also). It is simply unbelievable…yet sadly, a reality! Our deepest thoughts and sympathies are with those who have family and friends directly affected by these awful floods, and hope that they get the relief that they need ASAP! To those who have lost their lives…rest in peace beautiful angels…you will be sadly missed! We ourselves had a scare earlier in the week, when we awoke to see our bin floating down our street. The water continued to get higher quite quickly, and by around 11am (approx. 2.5 hours later) was right up to our front door…as well as lapping at the music room door! THANKFULLY…as soon as it reached that level, it began to recede even quicker than it came! We've had no water in sight since it disappeared 1-2 hours after it reached it's highest point (touch wood). We were the lucky ones! Unfortunately, like so many others, neighbours at the end of our street, and surrounding streets weren't as fortunate as us. A big thank-you once again to those of you who heard about our situation and continued to check in on us that day, as well as offering assistance in moving things up, temporary accommodation, and clean-up help if we needed it!!! You are all too wonderful! We're still on alert with the next lot of high and king tides due, with the car packed ready to go if the water rises again, but if we don't get any of that severe rain again in conjunction with those tides, we should be fine (hopefully)!!! I hope all of you manage to stay safe and dry during these surreal and tough times! Thinking of you all! See you as per planned at this stage, with lessons resuming from Monday 24th January. Please stay safe, everyone! Wow! It's hard to believe that a year has passed (already) since we first welcomed our son, Bailey, into the world (albeit rather sudden, scary and a tad early!). He turned 1 last Monday (June 14th), and enjoyed his birthday party celebrations the day before (with a cheeky monkey theme…very fitting for Bailey…as he certainly is one very cheeky little monkey!). It's getting hard to believe that he was a premmie! His 12 month checkup at the GP last week also confirmed that all of his measurements (weight, length, head circumferance) are within normal ranges. Hooray! Thanks again everyone for your supprt this past year, and your continued support! Our family has really appreciated it (me especially!!!). Well…after a very sudden, scary, close call for both mum and bub…several surgeries later, and a week and a half stay in hospital, our first child, a son, was born Sunday 14th June 3:41pm at 33 weeks, weighing 1.9kg, and 45cm in length. He will be in the Special Care Nursery for the next few weeks, but is doing extremely well! Thank-you all for your congrats and support these past few weeks! Both Michael and I have really appreciated it! I look forward to resuming music lessons with you all from Term 4, and can't wait to share my love of music with our son, Bailey (who's already been enjoying the music lessons, prior to his sudden arrival, from within my tummy). Believe in music!!! Well…for my continuing students and parents…as of last Sunday 18th January, I am no longer Miss Leia Tunney. After a beautiful wedding ceremony and lunch reception, held at 'Tranquil Park Moutain Resort' (Maleny), I became Mrs Leia Knibb (pronounced 'Nib'). Hooray! Thank-you to everyone who passed on their congrats and well wishes!!! They have been very much appreciated by both Michael and I! I look forward to catching up with you all at your first lesson. Can't wait to hear how everyone's improved their skills over the break! Welcome to my website, and thanks for visiting! I hope that you find this website useful in finding out further information about what my studio has on offer. Whilst the website is still being developed, the studio's contact details can already be located on the 'Contact Us' page, if you wish to make further enquiries. I look forward to many hours of fun, happy music making with you all very soon! May the coming year bring you and your family much luck and good fortune!!!

Lambrecht v. O'Neal: Delaware Supreme Court Clarifies Standing Requirements for Maintaining a "Double Derivative" Suit Under Delaware Law In Lambrecht v. O'Neal, No. 135, 2010, 3 A.3d 277 (Del. Aug. 27, 2010), the Delaware Supreme Court answered a certified question of law submitted by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Southern District Court"). In this en banc opinion, the Delaware Supreme Court clarified the standing requirements for maintaining a "double derivative" suit under Delaware law. The underlying actions began as standard derivative lawsuits, filed on behalf of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("Merrill Lynch"), to recover for purported breaches of fiduciary duties by Merrill Lynch officers and directors prior to Bank of America Corporation's ("BofA") acquisition of Merrill Lynch in a stock-for-stock merger (the "Merger"). Following the Merger, BofA and Merrill Lynch (collectively, the "Defendants") moved to dismiss the two pending derivative actions on the ground that the plaintiffs, who were no longer stockholders of Merrill Lynch by virtue of the Merger, had lost their standing to assert derivative claims on behalf of Merrill Lynch. The Southern District Court granted the motions but dismissed the actions without prejudice, allowing the plaintiffs to replead their claims as "double derivative" actions (i.e., actions to enforce a claim of Merrill Lynch through BofA). The Defendants again moved to dismiss plaintiffs' claims for lack of standing, arguing that in order to have standing to sue double derivatively, the plaintiffs had to be able to demonstrate that: (1) they were (and remain) stockholders of BofA both after the Merger and also at the time of the alleged fiduciary misconduct prior to the Merger; and (2) BofA itself was a stockholder of Merrill Lynch at the time of the alleged fiduciary misconduct prior to the Merger. Following oral argument, the Southern District Court certified the following question to the Delaware Supreme Court: Whether plaintiffs in a double derivative action under Delaware law, who were pre-merger shareholders in the acquired company and who are current shareholders, by virtue of a stock-for-stock merger, in the post-merger parent company, must also demonstrate that, at the time of the alleged wrongdoing at the acquired company, (a) they owned stock in the acquiring company, and (b) the acquiring company owned stock in the acquired company. The Delaware Supreme Court ultimately concluded that the certified question must be answered in the negative. In so ruling, the Supreme Court overruled the Court of Chancery's decision in Saito v. McCall, 2004 WL 3029876 (Del. Ch. Dec. 20, 2004), to the extent it is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's reasoning and conclusions set forth in its opinion. At the outset of its analysis, the Court noted that a double derivative action generally falls into one of two distinct categories with "different standing (and pre-suit demand) issues." In the first category are actions that are originally brought as double derivative actions on behalf of a parent corporation that has a wholly owned subsidiary at the time of the alleged misconduct at the subsidiary level. The second category includes actions, such as the underlying actions at issue here, originally brought derivatively on behalf of a stand-alone corporation that is subsequently acquired by another corporation in a stock-for-stock merger. Because the merger deprives the original derivative plaintiff of its shares in the acquired corporation and the pending derivative claim is transferred, as an asset of the acquired corporation, to the acquiring corporation as a matter of statutory law, the original derivative plaintiff can no longer satisfy the "continuous ownership" requirement and loses standing to maintain the derivative claim. As the Court noted, what differentiates the two categories is that in the second category, the merger operates, as a matter of law, "to divest the original shareholder plaintiff of standing to maintain the standard derivative action brought originally on behalf of the acquired corporation." In determining whether the procedural requirements proposed by the Defendants were mandated under Delaware law, the Court first examined Defendants' conceptual argument, which was premised on "a model of a double derivative action as being two separate derivative lawsuits, stacked on top of the other." According to the Defendants, a double derivative action should be "viewed as two lawsuits in one," consisting of both a standard derivative action by the parent corporation (through a stockholder of the parent corporation), asserting a claim on the subsidiary's behalf, and a second derivative action asserting the same claim derivatively on the parent corporation's behalf as the new owner of the subsidiary. The Court noted that under the Defendants' model, all the procedural requirements for bringing each derivative action would need to be satisfied. The Court found that Defendants' conceptual model of a double derivative action as two separate derivative lawsuits was flawed for several reasons. First, the additional procedural requirements under the Defendants' model "would render double derivative lawsuits virtually impossible to bring," in contradiction of Delaware precedent affirming the validity of such actions "in cases where standing to maintain a standard derivative action is extinguished as a result of an intervening merger." Second, the Defendants' model would require that BofA owned Merrill Lynch stock at the time of the alleged fiduciary misconduct prior to the Merger, which erroneously presumes that to enforce Merrill Lynch's pre-Merger claim, BofA must proceed derivatively. As discussed above, as a result of the Merger, Merrill Lynch's pre-Merger claim transfers to and becomes the property of BofA as a matter of statutory law. Accordingly, "[a]s the sole owner of Merrill Lynch, BofA is not required to proceed derivatively; it may enforce that claim by the direct exercise of its 100 percent control." Third, the Defendants' model would require that the original derivative plaintiffs owned BofA shares at the time of the alleged fiduciary misconduct, which misapplies the contemporaneous requirement contained in 8 Del. C. § 327. Because plaintiffs are enforcing BofA's post-Merger right (as the new owner of Merrill Lynch) to prosecute Merrill Lynch's pre-Merger claim and BofA is not required to have owned shares of Merrill Lynch at the time of the alleged fiduciary misconduct, plaintiffs are also not required to have owned BofA shares at that point in time. Thus, in this particular case, "it suffices that the plaintiffs own shares of BofA at the time they seek to proceed double derivatively on its behalf." Finally, the Court concluded that a "post-merger double derivative action is not a de facto continuation of the pre-merger derivative action" but instead "a new, distinct action in which standing to sue double derivatively rests on a different temporal and factual basis—namely, the failure of the BofA board, post-merger, to enforce the premerger claim of its wholly-owned subsidiary." The Supreme Court also rejected the Defendants' argument that Saito v. McCall provides legal support for Defendants' proposed procedural requirements, finding that insofar as Saito addresses the standing requirements for maintaining a double derivative action, it does not represent sound Delaware law. The Supreme Court held that to the extent Saito is inconsistent with the Court's reasoning and conclusions set forth in its opinion, it is overruled. Lambrecht v. O'Neal Opinion

St. Luke's Church of Smithfield, Virginia dates back to 1632. As the oldest surviving Gothic building in the United States, St. Luke's is a historical landmark that is very significant to the Smithfield community and surrounding area. Despite being carefully preserved by a dedicated group of volunteers, St. Luke's is cracking and settling. Like many historic buildings, St. Luke's lacks any real structural documentation, so how much damage the building is incurring over time is largely unknown. Furthermore, if the church incurred any significant damage from natural disaster, it would be very difficult to restore this important historical landmark of the community. New River Kinematics acccomplished this project with the help of Ron Hicks and Ryan Grelinger of API Services. Hicks and Grelinger generously donated their time and the use of their instruments on a sunny spring day in April 2012 to scan the exterior and interior of the church. The primary workhorse of the operation was a special scanner produced by Surphaser that is designed to take millions of distance measurements as it slowly rotates on a heavy tripod. The Surphaser is well-suited for this task since it has the capability to measure a range from .2m to 70m, providing ultra-low noise sub-millimeter data at a rate of up to 1.2 million measurements per second. Although St. Luke's is relatively small for a church, it is not a small building. Much like with a camera, the scanner cannot visualize the entire church from one position. In fact, the scanner had to be moved through 13 stations to fully visualize the exterior of the church and an additional 9 stations to scan the interior. The beauty of a scanner is that it can essentially paint the surface of the church with measurements. However, like a spray paint can, a scanner does not necessarily hit every point you want to measure. There are areas that are well covered and areas that are missed, depending on how the spray of measurements hits the church. To fill the gaps, a Leica Total Station TDRA6000 was utilized as well. The total station is like a theodolite regularly used in construction projects, except it has the added benefit of delivering a range measurement, as well as an angle and inclination, at a very high accuracy. Like a jigsaw puzzle, each of these scans and total station measurements must fit together to create a 3D representation of the church that can be later used for its inspection and repair. Traditionally, these scans have to be independently registered together in order to analyze the 110 million point measurements taken in the 22 scan stations and total station measurements. However, SpatialAnalyzer® (SA) provides a number of simplified solutions and powerful tools to accelerate this process. There are many ways that SA can fit scans together. For example, in many industrial measurement situations, tooling balls are placed in the view of each of the scanner stations. SA can automatically search the scan data, extract the exact center of each sphere, and align the scans based on these "control points." Alternatively, if a CAD model of the church existed, the scan data could be quickly aligned to the model. However, in this case without a reference model or location points, Will and Ron employed an even easier method. They used a third instrument, an API T3 Laser Tracker to take measurements of each scanner location while still in the field, a process known as "Smart Scanning." Using SA, the scanner was located through the use of the laser tracker before starting each new scan. To do so, several tracker measurements were taken from location points placed on the scanner. This was made easy through the use of SA Remote, an iOS phone app that functions as a remote control for the tracker. This allowed users to walk to the scanner, set an SMR in a locator on the scanner, use SA Remote to trigger a tracker measurement, and continue through the measurements. The greatest advantage to locating the instrument prior to taking the scan measurements (rather than returning to the lab with a scatter of unregistered scan data), users can observe the scan in SA in real time, in a registered position. This allows for real-time monitoring for areas of low scan coverage and provides the opportunity to make decisions in regards to the need for additional scan locations, preventing return trips to fill data gaps. After the entire scan of both the inside and outside of the church (a process that took less than six hours), the resulting file contained 110 million point measurements (a data set easily handled by SA's 64 bit version) from 22 scan locations, all aligned to a unified coordinate system. Back at the lab, SA's Unified Spatial Metrology Network (USMN) feature was used for instrument shot error estimates and advanced fitting techniques to further refine the instrument locations and hone in the measurements to their fullest capability. Once assembled in the software, the church can be literally picked up and rotated to be viewed from any perspective. SA provides a suite of tools to enter the church clip to the points of interest and visualize its internal structures for detailed analysis. In this case, a simple floor plan was first constructed by building a virtual plane through the church and filtering the scan data within a certain proximity to the pane. Doing so created a true measurement of wall thickness and placement at the height of that plane. This was done at several heights throughout the church, creating a layout of both the church and its internal structures. This provided a sub-millimeter measurement of the placement of the internal structural components such as the pews and pulpit in relationship to the walls, columns, and supports. An advantage of the complete scanning approach is that any particular aspect of the structure can at any time be extracted and examined in greater detail. For example, if fire damaged the pulpit inside the church, it would be possible to rebuild these structures based on the scan data of these feature alone. SA allows users to draw a clipping box around any particular set of data and isolate it, so that only data within this defined box of clipping planes is shown. The box can then be easily moved about the data, expanded, and contacted while acting as a magnifying glass to capture only the relevant data to the particular analysis. This data can then be sub-sampled to create another file that can create dimensions, measure angles, and recreate these features. An example of the power of this tool is shown below. On the left is a picture of the pulpit shown within the other scans. On the right is a view of the pulpit utilizing the clipping planes tool. Future plans regarding the preservation of St. Luke's Church include an additional scan later this year and subsequent scans in the years to come in order to analyze changes in the structure of the church. Since a full scan has been completed, only a quick subsample of measurements will be necessary for comparison to the master data set. Should major shifts in the church occur, they will be easily recognizable through comparison to this original data set and steps can then be taken to protect this priceless historic site.

Strong day for sterling as support was taken from rising UK gilt yields which mirrors market sentiment that we are in a sustained recovery, eventually leading to BOE moves to tighten monetary policy. London closing with sterling up against both the euro and dollar, opening today with strong support, although bouncing around resistance levels. Yesterday the market had relatively minor data to shift through and pivot off, namely industrial orders, new home builds and public borrowing. Industrial orders came in surprisingly high which helped the pound across the board and allowed a climb against the dollar which had earlier rallied following the release of FED minutes showing a taper is no longer up the FED's sleeve. It's now very much in the table and could realistically happen within the next few months. Further rises against the dollar later in the day after poor Philly data out of the U.S. New home builds are now at their highest levels since 2008, 28,500 new home builds in the 3 months to September reflect the turnaround in the construction industry. First time buyer registrations have skyrocketed 74.3% over the past year, hitting levels of acceleration never previously seen. Public sector borrowing has been helped by the recovery, last month saw a £200mln drop in borrowing figures. The treasury statement was upbeat- «Britain's hard work is paying off, the governments long term plan is working and the deficit is down by a third». The October figures take public sector net debt to £1.2 trillion, just over three quarters of GDP. Evidently still some way to go however the upwards trajectory of growth and government initiatives working well is encouraging. Data releases of note out of the U.K today. Another frenzied day for the eurozone, with the market tuning into Draghi talking at a business conference in Germany. Inevitably noises where made about the interest rate cut and prospects for EU growth in the face of the battle against the horror of deflation and growth figures that are unable to even hit 1%. London closed with the euro down against sterling, conversely slight gains against the greenback following poor data out of the US. Asian trading flat, market is now waiting for CPI and unemployment figures for the Europe, set for release at midday. Draghi stressed the interest rate cut is for Europe as a whole and the constant examination of individual nations performance does not reflect the wider economic situation. The outspoken defense was fairly hard hitting with Draghi proclaiming- «we are not German, neither French nor Spaniards, nor Italian, we are Europeans and we are acting for Europe as a whole». We must remember that despite euro currency swings following the ECB rate cut this is not the major focus for the ECB. Indeed that ECB has said EU rates are not the focus with the emphasis being placed on inflation levels. European inflation is now worse than Japan who has been massively crippled in the past, leading to the so called lost decade where growth was almost non existent. The fragility of the EU economy was underlined yesterday by the Markit PMI index showing manufacturing activity slowed from 51.9 to 51.5. This follows poor eurozone third quarter growth. The data will cause more fretting at the ECB, with the EU in poor shape we maintain our bearish view. Poor day for the dollar with losses after the FED business index dipped to its lowest levels seen since May. It was widely down across the board in stark contrast to the rally earlier in the week after the release of the FED minutes. London closed with the dollar down against both sterling and the euro, relatively flat overnight. The market is still meditating over what the release of the October FED minutes mean with an unexpected swing in FED thinking as they alluded to introducing a cut in bank rates which in effect would be another slightly sneaky version of QE. It is pretty clear from the October FOMC minutes that policymakers are somewhat exasperated and/or baffled that markets are so keen on linking the slowing of Fed asset purchases with expectations for short-term interest rates. The DOW and S&P are moving at breakneck speed twice this week sledgehammering previous highs and at these levels everybody wants a slice of the stock market. In the Fed's view, a slowdown in asset purchases ought not to affect long-term dollar levels and Treasury yields massively, since it would not, per se, signal any change in the central bank's plans for short-term rates. In the real world, however, it is blindingly obvious that this is not the case.This realisation has prompted FOMC discussion on the topic of reducing the 0.25% interest paid on excess bank reserves – as a means for the Committee to "…signal its intention to keep short-term rates low or reinforce the forward guidance on the federal funds. The situation continues to develop and inevitable movement will stem from what the FED elects to do.

You are at:Home » Features » Commentary » Promising prognosis as cancer deaths continue to fall Promising prognosis as cancer deaths continue to fall By ONA Editor July 28, 2015 No Comments Sasha Petrova, The Conversation The rate of Australians dying from cancer is on a steady, downhill trajectory, thanks to powerful advances made in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. New data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows a promising outlook for those diagnosed with cancer. Deaths from all cancers combined fell from 199 per 100,000 people in 1968, to 167 per 100,000 in 2012 – a decline of 2.6 deaths per 100,000 people per year. "This confirms that we are steadily making improvements in most cancers, in terms of survival," said Professor Timothy Hughes, Cancer Theme Leader at SAHMRI. "And it's coming from better prevention, better screening and better therapy." The downward cancer mortality rate was higher for males than females. Male deaths decreased by 4.1 per 100,000 per year, between 1995 and 2012, compared to 1.8 deaths per 100,000 females per year. One reason is the base rate of cancer deaths in women was lower than that of men, as men are generally more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than women. AIHW cancer codes can be viewed on their website – the codes listed in the appendix depict rare cancers. AIHW National Mortality Database, projected 2013 to 2025. Education and Research Director at the Cancer Council WA, Terry Slevin, said the declining trend was "significant". But he added projection estimates may in some cases be conservative, arguing successful efforts in prevention of certain cancers would see their mortality rates driven down even further than the report's figures. He said lung cancer – the most common cause of cancer death in Australia – was one example where anti-smoking campaigns would contribute to mortality rates declining from 42.4 male deaths per 100,000 in 2013 to 33 in 2015. "Another example is colorectal (bowel) cancer. While they've projected a substantial reduction in regards to mortality in men, their projection of the reduction in women is far more modest. "If we can boost their participation rate in the National Bowel Screening Program, which is currently lower than it should be, I think we can see those figures driven down," he said. While the rate has dropped, a rise in population levels and ageing has caused, and will cause, the total number of cancer deaths to rise. In addition to this, Ian Olver, Chair of Translational Cancer Research at the University of South Australia said changing risk factors for cancer, such as obesity, could lead to even further increases in cancer numbers. Between 2012 and 2025, the total number of deaths from cancer is predicted to increase from an estimated 25,580 to 32,010 among males, and from 19,450 to 24,250 among females. The numbers will undoubtedly put further strain on health services. "We're going to have more people living with the disease as a chronic illness as more people are diagnosed with cancer but fewer die from it. So it's not only the acute cost of treating cancer, it's the cost of maintaining services for an increasing number of people who will survive longer with consequences that could be both psychological and physical," said Ian Olver. And although overall death rates are falling, the prognosis for some cancers is not as positive. Mortality rates for liver and prostate cancer, for instance, are projected to rise. Liver cancer deaths were at 8.5 per 100,000 males in 2013 and 3.5 per 100,000 females. The report projects this will increase to 11.3 males in 2015 and 4.7 females. And the prognosis for ovarian cancer mortality will decline only marginally – from 6.9 per 100,000 women in 2013, to 6.5 in 2025. "I think there's been increasing resources put into those cancers but there are specific reasons why they are challenging. In the case of ovarian cancer, it's proved very difficult to identify early disease because it tends to spread in the early stage when it's not terribly symptomatic and symptoms are not specific," said Professor Hughes. "It's cause for reassurance that the things we're doing are giving us steady improvements but some cancers are being left behind and need to be focused on."

On January 22, 1973 the United States Supreme Court decided in the case of Roe v. Wade that the state of Texas may not prohibit a woman from killing her unborn child. Today, those Texans who want to protect the lives of unborn Texans have three options: overturn Roe v. Wade, pass the Life at Conception Act or sever our ties to the union. I discussed Texans' position on abortion and reviewed Roe v. Wade in the first part of this article. In this second part I discuss the Life at Conception Act, the abolition movement and its Texas consequences. This bill declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual comes into being. Nothing in this bill shall be construed to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child, a prohibition on in vitro fertilization, or a prohibition on use of birth control or another means of preventing fertilization. Congress has been introducing this act and its counterpart, the Sanctity of Human Life Act, for the last ten years, with little hope of success. Why? Because more and more Americans support killing pre-born babies. However, one promising movement that aims to reverse this trend is the Abolition Movement. Following in the footsteps of former abolitionist movements, we aim to end one of the greatest human miseries and moral evils ever to be entrenched in our world. Human beings are created in the image of Almighty God, the very Creator of the universe. Pro-life is the expression of a moral opinion. Abolition is the expression of a moral action. When you call yourself "pro-life" you are letting people know what you think about abortion. When you call yourself an abolitionist, you are telling them what you aim to do about it. Since killing a person is morally wrong, it should be and is outlawed. Bullis sees the federal government as a tyrant that stands in the way of lawfully protecting unborn children in Texas: little Texans. We've seen that the road to overturning or neutering Roe v. Wade is not promising. Whether it's an unforeseen challenge brought before the Supreme Court or the Life at Conception Act, these have slim to no odds in a nation that increasingly condones killing unborn children. The abolitionists are far more likely to succeed in a society that still values pre-born life. Texas is that society. If Texans want the future of unborn Texans to be in their hands, they must politically separate themselves from the United States, releasing the grip of its Supreme Court. #TEXIT.

Sara Ipakchi Racism and Representation in Children's Books Many children are raised with a hearty appetite for fictional stories, from Dr Seuss to Beatrix Potter. Their days start and end with fairies, rebels, elves, and other inspirational characters. But why is it that the most common protagonists are animals or white individuals, rather than characters from Black, Asian, or other minority backgrounds? This article will review and evaluate representation within picture books, fiction and non-fiction, for ages 3–11 in the UK. Recent research & findings Let's take a look at the stats according to the latest Centre of Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE) report. Publishers reported that 38% of the total books they published in 2019 featured animals or inanimate objects as main cast characters (protagonists), and 64% featured human main cast characters. Of this 64%, only 5% included an ethnic minority main character. This is a mild improvement from previous years (4% in 2018 and 1% in 2017), but there's still a long way to go. "Only 5% of children's books featuring human main characters included an ethnic minority protagonist." Regardless, the point is that it would still be more likely for a Black, Asian or minority race child to see an animal, rather than someone representing their origins. In 2019, 33.5% of the school population in the UK consisted of individuals from minority backgrounds. That's 33.5% of school children being underrepresented and excluded from society through literature. Additionally, in order to assess the legitimate impact of these characters on younger audiences, numerous factors must be considered, including the character's verbal expression, character development, and importance to the plot. 96% of ethnic minority main characters featured in the CLPE research submissions actively influenced the literary narrative with their expression, thought, or voice. This positive indicator of inclusion (although only applicable to the underwhelming 5% of protagonists) shows improvements compared to previous years, promising a future with stronger protagonists from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The recent wave of books featuring social justice themes may justify the current progress in diversity within literature. 29.5% of CLPE research submissions fell under the former category - a 9.5% increase from previous years. The CLPE concluded that "This may be as a result of a general trend towards a larger volume of social justice themed books being published. These aligned with contemporary societal concerns about themes such as climate change and may partly be the reason why 20% of the books identified as having a social justice theme were focused on the environment.". Unfortunately, not all the numbers have been increasing, and not all evaluations of 'social justice' apply specifically to ethnic diversity. It has been discovered that only 8% of books submitted in 2019 featured an ethnic minority presence in the form of background characters, compared to a whopping 27% in 2018. Along with the 18% of books featuring a multicultural cast (1% less than in 2018), there seems to currently be a lack of awareness for this issue in the publishing world. A brief history of discrimination in literature Subsequent to the Scramble for Africa (1881-1914), many literary works glossed over the brutality of colonialism and slavery. Children's books depicted an exaggerated vision of Africa, presenting Black individuals as uneducated savages. This birthed an era of children's literature in which races that weren't white were usually automatically villainized or completely ignored. However, this devotedness to imperialist fantasies and lack of diversity was not shared by all authors. One example of an exception to this would be Roald Dahl's famous Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964). As described in an article by The Guardian suggesting that the book could be considered 'anti-racist', the original protagonist was designed to be a "little black boy". In this story, titled Charlie's Chocolate Boy, Charlie ends up in the 'Easter Room'. Willie Wonka helps the boy into a life-sized chocolate candy mould, but accidentally leaves him there due to a distraction. The mould suddenly closes, and Charlie is slowly covered in chocolate, almost risking suffocation. He's in pain, trapped, as the chocolate hardens around him. The boy is then taken to Wonka's house, where he is displayed in Wonka's son's Easter basket (Wonka is married in this version). Soon, Charlie earns his freedom by preventing a robbery, and is rewarded with his own chocolate shop. This version of the children's book was promptly rejected by Dahl's agent. Catherine Keyser, a professor of English at the University of South Carolina, sees the chocolate mould as a metaphor for racial stereotypes. In the early 20th century, chocolate marketing in both the US and in England was very reliant on imperialist fantasies and in connecting brown skin with brown chocolate. Keyser expresses her appreciation as "in this mid-century moment Dahl has this black boy get stuck inside a mould that fits him perfectly – he emphasises that – everything about the mould fits Charlie, except [that] once the chocolate inside the mould hardens, it's uncomfortable! So, what better symbol of what it's like to be turned into a racial stereotype than a black boy who gets stuck inside a life-size chocolate mould and can't be seen or heard through this chocolate coating." So, might this particular book have been anti-racist? Wonka makes the active decision not to help Charlie until the boy prevents a robbery, using him as an aesthetic item or guard dog, seemingly villainizing Wonka's white character. Alternatively, Charlie might have represented diverse racial classes that, according to previous societal beliefs, were often seen as helpless and inferior to whites. Charlie was unable to break from the chocolate mould independently, rather he needs help from Wonka, the white hero. Dahl's first draft was followed by other versions in which Oompa-Lumpas were a tribe of African pygmies. This version was heavily rejected with accusations of racism and colonialism. This came as a surprise to the author, therefore Dahl's eventual use of racism might disprove Keyser's analysis, as he could have been oblivious to the implications assigned to his characters through the use of race. Why is lack of ethnic representation in literature a problem? The quality of literature and education surrounding children partly moulds their capacity for growth. Researcher Debra Ausdale proved the importance of literature through her research at multi-ethnic day care centres. In her study 'The First R: How Children Learn About Race and Racism', Ausdale claims that children as young as three have already entered into and begun experimenting with race ideologies compatible to the adult world. She addresses how racist attitudes are often absorbed, using the children's interactions with books as an example of how they internalise what they encounter in real life. "Literature helps us to dream differently. It can inspire ambition, plant seeds of hope and, of course, educate us." - Professor Vini Lander, Professor of Race and Teacher Education at Leeds Beckett University Literature provides a story which, notwithstanding the genre, can usually be applied to daily life. However, as explained by Bettye L. Latimer in 1973, "[i]f books supposedly deal with all kinds of people, one consequently begins to rationalise that blacks are not people since they do not appear in symbolic form". "If children in the UK are still being raised by art which consistently excludes other races, then how are we to achieve equality as a united nation in the future?" Classic works such as Peter Pan, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Pippi Longstockings are commonly criticised for their use of racial stereotyping or exclusion. The protagonists, along with most of the other characters, are white individuals who carry out a set of typical middle-class tasks. This contrasts many works in which characters represented by individuals from a minority race wouldn't have the pleasure of celebrating their birthday, purchasing chocolate, or going to the park with their family. If children in the UK are still being raised by art which consistently excludes other races, then how are we to achieve equality as a united nation in the future? This lack of diversity and inclusion likely breeds subconscious prejudice as racial stereotypes urge children to sustain pre-conceptual views on different ethnicities.

This concern proved to be justified even as central banks initially tried to push back against the tide of calls for more aggressive rate rises, despite rising inflation, as well as inflation expectations. Even as 2021 was ending it was becoming increasingly evident that the broader economic recovery was showing signs of slowing as winter approached, with consumers facing higher food and energy costs, not only in the UK, but in the US and Europe as well, and central bankers being urged to put aside the groupthink that these rising inflationary pressures were transitory. Of course, as we now know, these inflation pressures have turned out to be anything but, even without the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which turbocharged them even further. This surge in inflation, as well as consumers ability to absorb the rising cost of living, was always likely to dictate whether we would see the banks maintain their current positive momentum, improve their profit margins and continue to pay decent dividends. The Russian invasion of Ukraine served to upend all of that, and while governments once again looked to step in the mitigate the rising costs of energy, prices were already well above trend even before 24 February when Russian tanks entered Ukraine. Somewhat surprisingly, despite the conflict being fought on Europe's borders, the worst performing region this year has been the US banking sector, despite the US having the strongest economy. Comparison: UK, US, and EU banking basket Source: CMC Markets The US underperformance probably has more to do with the fact that US banks saw huge amounts of outperformance from their 2020 lows, rising much faster due to huge buyback programs and increased payouts to shareholders. The withdrawal of these measures has seen valuations reset to more realistic levels, and resulted in bigger declines through the current year. This year has also seen banks here in the UK, as well as Europe, start to set aside further amounts in respect of possible loan defaults, as the cost-of-living crisis bites, and banking systems once again come under strain from spiralling inflationary pressure. In some parts of Europe, we've seen CPI inflation rates of over 20%, while factory gate prices have risen by over 50% in core economies like Germany and Italy. This year has also been marked by a sharp slowdown in M&A, SPAC and IPO fees which were a feature of 2021 as the air hisses out of the some of the frothier parts of the market. Investment banking revenues which were also a key factor in the rebound in bank share prices in 2021 have also been more subdued. What has been notable is that despite the greater challenges facing the European economy, European bank valuations have held up relatively well, despite some of the various legacy issues that have faced Italian banks as yet unresolved. UK banking headwinds When you consider what UK Banks have had to contend with this year the fact, we've seen any gains at all is surprising, but when you look on a slighter longer time frame the case can also be made that the likes of Lloyds and NatWest Group are still seriously undervalued. Nonetheless while the performance year to date has been disappointing, the numbers that we've seen come from the likes of Lloyds and NatWest have been encouraging despite their more domestic focus when compared to Barclays and HSBC, which have other revenue streams from their investment banking divisions. UK Banks performance YTD As can be seen from the chart above the best performers have been Standard Chartered, followed by HSBC, while the more domestically focused banks of NatWest Group and Lloyds have struggled. Barclays, on the other hand has had a shocker, being by far the worst performer of them all. After a solid performance during 2021 which saw the shares rise over 40% and be the best performer in the sector, 2022 has been a year of consolidation, for what has been the perennial ugly duckling of the UK banking sector. In August the shares managed to retest the December 2019 peaks, however they haven't managed to kick on as much as expected largely due to concerns about the health of the UK economy against a backdrop of rising inflation, as well as rising interest rates. CEO Alison Rose has done a decent job of giving the bank a makeover and polished up the paintwork; with the bank posting its best set of full year numbers since the financial crisis at the start of the year. Total profits for last year came in at £2.95bn, although these were boosted by the release of loan loss reserves of £1.28bn. The bank also resumed the dividend declaring a final dividend of 7.5p per share, as well as following through on its promise to buy back £750m of its own shares in the first half of the new fiscal year, while the UK government reduced its stake in the bailed-out bank to 48.1%. In the first half of this year NatWest was able to shake off the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and concerns about rising energy costs, improving its net interest margins as well as seeing attributable profit to shareholders rise to £1.89bn. Net interest margins also improved from 2.46% in Q1 to 2.72% in Q2, taking H1 NIM to 2.59%. Net loans to customers rose to £188.7bn, from £184.7bn in Q1, and up by £6.5bn in the first half of the year. £5.9bn of this was by way of mortgages, with lending evenly split between Q1 and Q2, with the remaining £600m being made up of credit card and loan balances. This resilience helped push the shares back to levels last seen in December 2019 in August, along with the payment of a special dividend, however the shares have come under pressure since then on a combination of concerns over a slowing economy, as well as misguided calls for further increases in taxes on the sector. The UK banking sector already pays an 8% surcharge in top of a corporation tax rate of 19%, which will increase to 25% next year, putting an effective tax rate of 33% on the sector. The Q3 numbers were a disappointment and do account, to some extent to the underperformance of the shares since the August peaks. The bank posted a sharp drop in Q3 attributable profits to £187m, a sharp drop from the £1bn profit in Q2, although this was largely due to one-off factors. The main reason for the profits slide was due to a loss of €652m on the discontinued Ulster Bank operations and the reclassification of the mortgage book, so this is very much a one-off. When all of this is stripped out the underlying performance was slightly weaker than Q2 as operating profits came in at £1.09bn, slightly shy of expectations, and a £310m fall from Q2. The higher interest rate environment has seen net interest margin increase in Q3 to 2.99%, bringing NIM year to date up to 2.73% from 2.59% in H1. It was notable the NatWest also increased its impairments in Q3, by £247m, compared to just £26m in H1. Operating expenses also saw a sharp increase in Q2, to just shy of £1.9bn, although they are still lower from a year ago. On the outlook NatWest said they expect total income to be around £12.8bn with NIM expected to rise to 2.8% by year end, which is all so far so good, however Q4 is likely to be challenging in terms of loan loss provisions, and a general slowdown in the wider economy, which could see a slowdown in its lending, particularly in mortgages where interest rates have jumped sharply higher. Barclays has had a shocker this year, its share price down over 20%, having seen the shares hit their highest levels since 2018 in mid-January, sentiment has soured quite sharply. With a new CEO in place, CS Venkatakrishnan, or Venkat as he is known, hopes were high that he would carry on where previous CEO Jes Staley left off, after a year that saw annual profits rise to £8.4bn, on revenues of £21.9bn. The honeymoon for Venkat didn't last long with the bank undergoing a difficult Q1, with his competence called into question after it was revealed that the bank was facing a multimillion US dollar hit, and a regulatory investigation over some of its trading products in the US, when he was in charge of controlling the banks risk environment. The mistake appears to have come about after it was realised that the bank sold nearly £28bn of exchange traded notes that track commodity prices over a three-year period and only registered £16bn of them with the SEC. When the bank announced its Q1 numbers the sum of £540m was set aside in respect of that. Putting that to one side the wider numbers for Q1 did show a bank that was trading well, with total revenues rising by 10% to £6.5bn. Offsetting that improvement its notable that costs have risen faster, rising 15% to £4.1bn, however £523m of that increase was in respect of litigation costs related to the above. This resulted in an 18% decline in attributable profit of £1.4bn. When the bank reported in July the numbers were equally underwhelming with charges increased to £600m in H1. Attributable profit for H1 was also down sharply from a year ago due to a big drop in revenues in its equity and debt capital markets division. The UK bank saw a 16% fall in H1 profits from a year ago to £854m, mainly due to last year's numbers receiving a boost from a loan loss release, while this year included a £48m set aside for loan loss provisions. On the wider numbers, Barclays is battling against rising operating expenses for this year, and which rose by 14% in Q3 to £3.94bn, and which are expected to rise sharply to £16.7bn, on an annualised basis, well above the previous outlook of £15bn. Year to date Barclays profits are down 19% largely down to the fact that last year saw profits boosted by the release of loan loss provisions which flattered the numbers. When Lloyds reported its full year numbers back in February profits came in at £6.9bn, slightly below expectations of £7.2bn. The end of year shortfall was down to a surprise increase in operating costs which rose above £2bn in Q4, up from £1.87bn in Q3, which sent the shares falling to one-year lows, though most of this decline was probably down to concerns over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Nonetheless the bank got off to a strong start to the year with Q1 statutory pre-tax profits of £1.6bn, a modest fall from the same quarter last year. One of the reasons for the slight decline was a £177m impairment, compared to a £360m credit which boosted last year's number. The impairment was in relation to possible impacts related to higher inflation. Q2 statutory pre-tax profits came in at £2bn. Operating costs also rose modestly from a year ago, to just shy of £2.1 bn, although they were down on Q4. In Q2 these costs increased to £2.15bn with the bank saying it expected to see total costs of £8.8bn for the year. Net interest margins have continued to improve, they were raised in Q1 and beat expectations in Q2 NIM rising to 2.87% in Q2, while the bank raised its outlook for return on tangible equity to 13%, from 11%. While there was little evidence of stress in the underlying numbers when it came to loan demand in H1, Q3 saw a slight change of emphasis from Lloyds management. In Q2 the bank set aside another £200m of impairments, pushing the total net underlying impairment for H1 to £377m. In their Q3 numbers this number was increased by £668m in a sign that the recent squeeze on customer finances was increasing concern about possible loan losses, pushing impairment provision year to date to over £1bn. Q3 statutory pre-tax profits fell back to £1.51bn, a 26% decline on the same period last year, although it has been noticeable that Lloyds has continued to improve its NIM returns, rising to 2.98% in Q3, pushing the average year to date up to 2.84%. It is also noticeable that loan demand has held up well so far with unsecured loans seeing an increase of 4% to £8.8bn, while the open mortgage book saw an increase of 1%. Lending to small business saw a modest decline of 3% to £39.8bn not altogether surprising given the economic backdrop For the full year Lloyds says it expects NIM to increase from 2.84% to 2.9% with operating costs expected to come in at £8.8bn, up £2.4bn from where they are now. HSBC got off to a solid start to the year, coming off the lows from September last year to hit two-year highs back in February. Since then, the shares have struggled hitting their lowest levels this year back in October, before rebounding to their current levels, and could well finish the year higher. The Asia focussed bank has faced a number of challenges this year, after posting a decent set of full year numbers when it reported at the end of February. Full year results saw the bank post reported profits before tax of $18.9bn, a decent increase from last year, with the UK based banking unit outperforming with annual profits of $4.8bn, adding another $1.2bn in Q4. The bank's Asia operations were the main area of profitability with $12.2bn, with the bank announcing a $1bn share buyback as well as an $0.18c a share dividend. The main factor holding it back was concern over weaker growth prospects in Asia during Q1 and beyond as Chinese markets continued to struggle with Covid lockdowns and the health of the property sector, which saw the bank take a $500m charge. In its Q1 numbers the bank incurred further credit impairment charges of $600m, as a result of potential negative impacts from the Russia, Ukraine war. The Asia business and the UK business contributed all of the banks' profits before tax, with Asia adding $2.8bn and the UK $1.2bn. Reported profit after tax came in at $3.4bn, a reduction of $1.1bn on the same quarter last year, with the bank warning that further buybacks were unlikely in the short term due to concerns over the outlook. When HSBC reported its H1 numbers there were real concerns that the strict lockdowns in Shanghai and other Chinese cities would seriously negatively impact revenues and profits, although the boost to profits was helped by a $1.8bn deferred tax gain. The Asia business once again outperformed, with reported profits after tax of $6.3bn, during H1, making up the bulk of the $9.2bn total number, while reported revenues for the same period slipped slightly to $25.2bn. Impairments also rose by another $500m, but the bank was more optimistic about the outlook raising its guidance for net interest income for the year. This optimism turned out to be a little premature when the bank reported its Q3 numbers back in August with revenues and profits falling back sharply. Q3 revenues sank back to $11.6bn, while profits after tax came in at $2.56bn. This was significantly lower than the numbers in Q2, with profit attributable to shareholders, dropping to $1.9bn, down from $5.77bn in Q2. Part of the reason for the lower profits was an increase of provisions for non-performing loans of $1.1bn, doubling the amount set aside year to date to $2.2bn. On the plus side the banks NIM rose in Q3 to 1.57% from 1.35%, helping to push net interest income to beat expectations, however that wasn't enough to stop the shares from drifting lower over the next few weeks, before finding a base in mid-October in the wake of the UK budget fallout and hopes that China might be looking to plot a path towards an economic reopening. The shares also got an additional boost at the end of November after it agreed to sell its Canadian operation to Royal Bank of Canada for $10bn in cash. This appears to be the latest example of Asia's largest bank looking to gravitate towards its core markets in Asia, and in so doing helping to keep its shareholders onside as it looks to boost the resilience of its core operations, as well as improving pay-outs. In recent years HSBC management have had to tread a careful line between its business in Asia markets, and its dealings with the Chinese government, and its UK operations. The recent decision to cancel the dividend after pressure from UK regulators did not go down well with Asia shareholders, with the decision to sell its Canadian operations perhaps an arbiter of things to come in respect of its UK operation. Ping An, the banks largest shareholder, has already gone on the record in urging senior management to embark on some form of spin-off, or separation of its Asia assets, and the rest of the bank, which they have so far resisted. That doesn't mean it couldn't still happen, after all the decision to sell the Canada business, along with the departure of CFO Ewen Stevenson, could be indicative of a direction of travel that ultimately leads HSBC to lean towards a separation of its UK business under the First Direct brand sometime in the future. Banks resilience to face a key test in 2023 The last 12 months have proved to be a challenging environment for the UK banking sector, yet despite this general profitability has held up well, although there have been some notable weak spots, namely Barclays and Lloyds. The weakness in Barclays share price is easier to understand given it saw one of the strongest rebounds from the 2020 lockdown lows, and has undergone its own set of problems this year. NatWest has been very much the outperformer over the past two years, with Lloyds Banking Group very much the underperformer. While NatWest was able to retest its pre-pandemic highs Lloyds hasn't got even close to them. This seems odd given how much more profitable the bank is now than it was 3 years ago. As we look ahead to 2023 it is clear that while rising interest rates are good for bank margins, the flip side is that demand for loans and mortgages is likely to slow. We are already seeing that in lower mortgage approvals, while the banks themselves are starting to batten down the hatches with higher loan loss provisions, as the air starts to come out of the housing market and valuations fall. With the energy price cap set to rise further next year, consumer budgets are likely to face even tighter constraints, impacting demand for banking services, unless headline CPI starts to fall back sharply from its current levels of 10.7%. If the Bank of England is right and the UK is about to enter a two-year recession then the banks could find that 2023 is an even more challenging year than 2022 turned out to be.

Karen Burnham Reviews Short Fiction: Strange Horizons, The Deadlands, khōréō, and The Economist October 14, 2021 September 27, 2021 locusmag 0 Comments Karen Burnham Strange Horizons 5/31 The Deadlands 6/21 khōréō 6/21 The Economist 6/25/21 At the end of May Strange Horizons put out a special issue dealing with transgender themes. Along with nine poems and three non-fiction ar­ticles are three original short stories. My favorite is ''Women Want Me, Fish Fear Me'' by Paris Green. In this future, genemods based on different animals are fairly common, and the narrator's are fish-based. This led to transformations different from what they expected and didn't solve all of their problems, facts which get expressed partly in dialog with the different partners they have in the course of their sex work. It's arch and funny and insightful. ''The Chicken House'' by Jenny Fried is pure Strange Horizons, intensely emo­tional and allusive. Sleep is a young man living alone on a farm with three buildings: the tractor shed, the chicken house to be avoided at all costs, and the house. In the walls of the house are a flock of dead cardinals, and there's a red dress, and Sleep will eventually have to face the chicken house itself. Finally we have ''A Welling Up'' by Natalia Theodoridou, in which a daughter is driv­ing her mother around, searching for the brother who was abandoned to foster care many years ago. The mother is clearly not quite living in the same world as the rest of us, and flooding tends to follow in her wake. There are a lot of layers here, and the story comes to a satisfying conclusion. I was able to catch the second issues for two new venues this month, The Deadlands (edited by E. Catherine Tobler who previously edited Shimmer) and khōréō (editor-in-chief Aleksandra Hill). With its title The Deadlands isn't hiding anything: this is speculative fiction about Death. While that theme obviously lends itself to horror, there are plenty of ways to approach the topic using all kinds of genre toolkits. Of the three original pieces in issue #2, my favorite is ''Shuck'' by G.V. Anderson. Bridget is dealing with the gruesome death of her friend Samantha by relating details of it to any school friend who'll throw some money her way. But she's also seeing the huge black dog of legend, known in areas around Suffolk as Black Shuck. She's most concerned about her grandfather who has been raising her, and is determined not to let the fearsome dog come out of the shadows. There's a lot of believable teen angst layered into the story, but the ending goes deeper. The other stories are ''The Thing That Doesn't Disintegrate'' by Kate Lechler, a character portrait of a Missis­sippi woman currently obsessed with collecting skulls and teeth; and ''Bonefields'' by Margaret Ronald, where Rhode is returning home even as he turns to stone and Wist is tagging along to get away from the circus. There's also poetry, and if you're able to pick up an issue make sure to check out Amanda Downum's ''Ask a Necromancer'' non-fiction column, which is both entertaining and informative. khōréō is a magazine of ''speculative fiction and migration,'' which is another theme that casts a very wide net. My favorite of the issue is ''For Future Generations'' by Rachel Gutin. Rabbi Greenberg wakes up on the morning of the Sukkot holiday to find that the sukkah needed to conduct the ceremony has been completely destroyed, in such a way that even the pieces can't be reused. This is especially horrible on a generation starship fleeing a ruined Earth, where no new supplies are available. Asking around quickly reveals that some teenage girls of her own congregation are respon­sible, and Rabbi Greenberg is able to get at some of the reasons underlying the vandalism. This leads her to a deeper reevaluation of the holiday and its meaning. Other stories include ''Golden Girl'' by A.M. Guay, a tale of cross-cultural adoption gone horribly wrong; ''Our Bones Were the Mortar'' by Anjali Patel, where a woman who sees the dead tries to go to Manhattan to get a normal job – instead she finds a city built on corpses; ''Green, Yellow, Red'' by H. Pueyo is a science fictional take on the phenomenon of disappeared persons in Latin America; and ''Love at the End'' by Deborah Germaine Augustin, is a story of love and ruin told backwards. Both The Deadlands and khōréō are off to strong starts, and I wish them much success in the future. Once a year The Economist magazine runs a ''What If?'' section dedicated to ''news articles'' written as if in a future issue which are published, like most of their articles, without an author byline. These certainly count as little snippets of science fiction, and while they lack in the plot and character department they are superb in the arena of informed speculation about the near future. If you're able to get your hands on a copy or find your way through the paywall on their website, these are well worth your time. One scenario will be familiar to those who read Kim Stanley Robinson's 2020 tour de force, The Ministry of the Future. ''If a deadly heat wave hit India: A tale of two cities'' imagines a particularly disas­trous 2041, but goes on to contrast Chennai with Hyderabad since the latter prepared much more thoroughly after their own brush with a lethal heatwave in 2015 (when 585 people died in just a few days there). There are articles on personal­ized health care and nutrition plans, biohacking, and treatments for opioid addiction and dementia. ''What if marmosets lived on the Moon?'' imagines a morale boost for a lunar colony from was briefly cut off by a crisis on Earth; there's some interesting speculation about pregnancy in low grav­ity, where the marmosets might be able contribute in their original role as research animals. Finally there may be protests in Sweden in 2036 ''If an AI won the Nobel prize for medicine: Rage against the machine''. That one also includes some interesting thoughts about potential evolutionary steps forward from today's machine learning algorithms. ''Shuck'', G.V.

Sony announces 48-megapixel sensor, smartphone cameras to get a quality boost John Hoff Sony is one of the world's top manufacturers of camera sensors for smartphones. By this we mean that most of the leading smartphone makers will usually have a Sony IMX sensor or another powering their smartphone cameras. The Japanese company has just announced the new Sony IMX586 camera sensor, which boasts of an effective resolution at 48 megapixels, the highest one for a mobile camera sensor. Of course, when Sony developed the IMX586 sensor, they had to deal with the problem that came with increased resolutions. Bigger resolutions meant smaller pixel size – which with the IMX586 is down to 0.8 microns. Smaller pixels would usually mean lower sensitivity and poor imaging especially in low light conditions. But that isn't the case here. The technology that Sony used is called "Quad Bayer array", which intelligently combines neighboring pixels, giving the effective pixel size of 1.6 microns. In comparison, the Google Pixel 2 – one of the top phones in the market when it comes to mobile photography – has an effective pixel size of 1.4 microns. The Sony IMX586 could give dramatic improvements in mobile photography. "Original Sony exposure control technology and signal processing functionality are built into the image sensor, enabling real-time output and a superior dynamic range four times greater than conventional units," says Sony in their official statement. "Even scenes with both bright and dark areas can be captured with minimal highlight blowout or loss of detail in shadows." The stacked CMOS sensor of the IMX586 measures 8 mm (0.31 in) diagonally, so it should fit inside most modern smartphone designs, even the slimmest ones with compact form factors. As we said, many OEMs use Sony sensors in their phones, including top brands like Samsung. In practice, Sony usually keeps its newest sensors for its own handsets, but Sony's smartphone business has not been that great for a while now, so we will have to see what strategy they take with this new sensor. On paper, the Sony IMX586 could translate to images with a huge amount of detail, excellent light capture, and low noise levels. Of course, you would have to have a chipset that could deal with and process this amount of data. Most camera setups these days top out at around 20 megapixels or thereabouts. A 48-megapixel camera sensor would require some robust processing behind it.

campaign trail July 2, 2015 This Up-and-Coming Model Has Had Quite the Week By Véronique Hyland Photo: Steven Meisel/Prada We first spotted Lineisy Montero walking in the Prada show back in March, and noted that "fingers crossed, she and her cropped hair will be the next big thing." Mere months later, she's well on her way. The brand released its fall 2015 campaign, shot by Steven Meisel and featuring its customary models-generously-spaced-out format, today. One of those models? Montero, who also nabbed the cover of this month's Teen Vogue, alongside two other black models, Imaan Hammam and Aya Jones — the magazine dubs the trio "Fashion's New Faces." Says the cover story about the 19-year-old phenom, "She, along with Aya and Imaan, are among a small cadre of black models to grace the influential catwalk since Naomi Campbell in the '90s," adding that "each accomplishment [of theirs] plays a major role in a progressive sea change that positions diverse faces at the forefront of fashion." Something tells us we'll be seeing a lot more of her. Photo: Daniel Jackson/Teen Vogue lineisy montero aya jones

A much-improved Qtenv that now replaces Tkenv as the default runtime GUI. Support for smooth custom animation and video recording. Better support for simulation campaigns in managing and performing a large number of runs and in result recording/processing. Experimental support for SQLite-based result files. Updated toolchain and libraries on Windows including 64-bit Windows support. Updated Eclipse base for the IDE. Support for smooth custom animations. The goal was to allow models to visualize their operation using sophisticated animations while the simulation is running under a GUI (Qtenv). The key idea is that refreshDisplay() is called repeatedly at a reasonable rate to render frames. refreshDisplay() knows the animation position from the simulation time (which is now interpolated between events) and the "animation time", a variable also made accessible to the model. Animation-to-simulation speed ratio (sec/simsec) is determined by an "animation speed" variable (or rather, several such variables) that can be set explicitly from code. Different animation speeds can be chosen dynamically to adapt the animation to the current time scale of the interesting events or processes in the simulation. Animations that need to take place in zero simulation time are supported with "holds", i.e. holding up the simulation for a certain animation time period. The actual playing speed of the resulting animation can be controlled in Qtenv using the "Speed" slider on the toolbar. Note that this feature is only available in Qtenv (and not in Tkenv which is more-or-less in maintenance mode from now on). If a model implements such full-blown animations for a compound module that OMNeT++'s default animations (message sending/method call animations) become a liability, they can now be programmatically turned off for that module with a setBuiltinAnimationsAllowed(false) call. Support for self-refreshing figures. cFigure now has a refreshDisplay() method which is called on every display refresh as long as the containing canvas is open in the GUI. Overriding that method in custom figure classes allows the figure to update itself according to the state of the simulation. The self-refreshing feature is especially useful for figures that implement various meters, gauges, plots or charts, because this way they don't require an additional helper module to update them. Note this feature is only available in Qtenv. Custom figure classes are now registered using Register_Figure(), not with Register_Class(). This allows for more flexibility and a cleaner handling of C⁠+⁠+ namespaces. The stacking order of figures is now jointly determined by the child order and a new runtime-settable cFigure member called zIndex, with the latter taking priority. In @figure properties in NED files, "zIndex" replaces "childZ" which was only used at parse time but not stored in figures afterwards. A figure can now have a tooltip text set. A figure can now be associated with a simulation object, for example a module or a packet. Association means that the figure more-or-less "stands for" (or visually represents) the other object in the GUI. For example, when the user clicks or double-clicks the figure under Qtenv, the associated object is focused or opened in the GUI. The figure also "inherits" the tooltip of its associated object, provided it does not have its own tooltip. For text figures, one can now optionally turn on a "halo", which makes the text more readable on all backgrounds. Support has been added to load custom images for use by cImageFigure/cIconFigure and in display strings (cEnvir::loadImage()). It is also possible now to programmatically add new directories to the image path (cEnvir::appendToImagePath()). The dimensions of images used by cImageFigure/cIconFigure can now be determined programmatically (getImageNaturalWidth() / getImageNaturalHeight() methods). Support for measuring the text has been added to cTextFigure and cLabelFigure (getBounds() method). Note that getBounds() assumes zoom level 1.0. Support for accessing the coordinates of auto-layouted submodules (cEnvir:: getSubmoduleBounds()). This functionality is needed by some visualizers in INET, where nodes of a wired network are typically not explicitly placed. In cObject and subclasses, info() has been renamed to str(). The old method still exists and delegates to the new one. The detailedInfo() method has been deprecated due to lack of usefulness. In NED statistic declarations (@statistic), signal names in the "source" attribute can now be qualified with the name of a submodule. This will cause the signal listener to be added to the given submodule instead of the module containing the @statistic. Example: @statistic[foo](source=a.b.foo). Note that there is no syntax to specify modules above or outside the one containing the @statistic, as that would limit the module's reusability (encapsulation violation). In cModule, the arrived() method has been made public API. arrived() is invoked as part of the send() protocol, and its default version inserts the message into the FES after some bookkeeping. Overriding arrived() allows one to perform custom processing at the destination module of a send() call immediately, still within the send() call. cPacket's default getDisplayString() method now falls back to returning the encapsulated packet's display string, instead of just returning an empty string. Several things have been made inspectable at runtime (e.g. from Qtenv): simulation results being collected (i.e. result filter/recorder objects added via @statistic); per-signal listeners lists; values of XML module parameters and cXMLElement trees. Unit conversion now knows about C (coulomb) and related units As, mAs, Ah, mAh. Ordering of 'platdep/sockets.h' and 'omnetpp.h' is no longer important. It is recommended to include 'omnetpp.h' first. Changes in the Canvas API: the insertBelow()/insertAbove() methods have been added to cFigure; cFigure's parse(cProperty*) and getAllowedPropertyKeys() methods are now public API; the first argument of the recently introduced Register_Figure() macro must now be quoted. Added opp_get_monotonic_clock_usecs(). This function should be used for measuring wall-clock time intervals in schedulers and other places instead of gettimeofday() which is not monitonic. opp_run (and all executable simulations) now support the '-h configvars' to print the list of dollar variables that can be used in configuration values. Many other smaller-scale changes, fixes and refactoring, in part related to the ones above; see ChangeLogs under src/ for details. Qtenv has reached maturity and it is now the default GUI for simulations. Qtenv now requires Qt5.4, and optionally OpenSceneGraph 3.2-3.5 and osgEarth 2.5-2.7. Added support for smooth custom animations. This means that simulation time is interpolated between events, and the animation can be stopped between events. In the event number display, the event number is prefixed with either 'last:' or 'next:' to make it unambiguous. A new 'Animation Parameters' window has been added where one can view the current animation speed, framerate, and other metrics. One-stepping now stops right before events so pressing F4 will execute the next event instantly. For consistency, after initialization, the simulation time will be set to that of the first event (not always to 0s). The simulation time display now has digit grouping and units turned on by default for better readability. Settings can be changed in the context menu. Improvements on built-in animations: Messages sent with a nonzero propagation delay are now animated properly (not instantaneously). Packets of nonzero length are now displayed as "strips" when transmitted on a link with a transmission rate and propagation delay. The animation of method call hierarchies now represents the call graph better. Two-way connections are now drawn as two half-length lines so that they don't cover one another. Module layouts are now shared among all graphical inspectors of the same module. Layout seeds are now persistent between runs. The Configuration/Run selection dialog now accepts run filters from the command line and will display the matching runs on the top of the list. Inspector windows made persistent between runs and will be re-opened on simulation restart. Other improvements, including tweaks to the Preferences dialog, context menu usability in inspectors, updated application and toolbar icons, a new 'Rebuild network' button on the toolbar, and many bug fixes. Experimental support to run as a native Wayland client (start the simulation with the QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland environment variable set). While Qtenv is now the default runtime GUI, simulations can still be launched under Tkenv by adding "-u Tkenv" to the command line. Tkenv is being maintained, but it is not actively developed any more. This means that most new features, including the ones added in this OMNeT++ release (smooth custom animations, self-refreshing figures, etc) will not be available under Tkenv. To query the list of matching runs, the new -q <what> option can be used together with -c <config> and -r <runfilter>. The argument to -q can be any of: "numruns", "runnumbers", "runs", "rundetails", "runconfig", "sectioninheritance". The nesting order of iterations has been made configurable, and the default has changed: the repeat counter has been switched from being the innermost loop to being the outermost one. This is more practical, as it allows one to get early results for all data points, then refine the picture as more runs are being completed. The nesting order (also among iteration variables) can be specified using the new iteration-nesting-order configuration option. The -s (silent, i.e. non-verbose) option has been added, partly to facilitate machine processing of -q output. By default, error messages are written to stderr. A -m (merge output) option has been added that redirects errors to stdout; a practical benefit is that it preserves the relative order of the output. Default result file naming scheme been changed to be more practical. The traditional naming scheme contained the run number, which has now been replaced by the values of the iteration variables and the repetition counter. Example: old: Aloha-16.sca, new: Aloha-numHosts=10,mean=0.9-#3.sca. Illegal and inconvenient characters are encoded in an urlencode-like manner. This naming scheme applies to cmdenv output files, eventlog files and snapshot files as well. In output scalar files, when run attributes (iteration variables, etc.) are saved as scalars, the module name they are saved with has been changed from "." to "_runattrs_". The cpu-time-limit option has been fixed to work as expected; a new real-time-limit option also has been added. When performing multiple runs, Cmdenv now stops after the first run that stops with an error. This behavior can be controlled with the new cmdenv-stop-batch-on-error=<bool> option. When performing multiple runs, Cmdenv now prints run statistics at the end. Example output: "Run statistics: total 42, successful 30, errors 1, skipped 11" The cmdenv-output-file option can now be specified per run, and now has a default file name that follows the naming scheme of result files (but with the .out extension). Since saving the output can no longer be disabled by omitting the cmdenv-output-file setting, new option cmdenv-redirect-output=<bool> has been added for that purpose. The cmdenv-interactive option can now be specified on per-run basis. scavetool: The command-line interface (options and help) has been redesigned for usability. scavetool: The tool now supports querying the contents of result files in a user-friendly way, via the new "query" subcommand. This subcommand has also been made the default operation mode. For example, a simple "scavetool *.vec *.sca" command reports the number of runs, vectors and scalars found in the specified files. scavetool: CSV and other tabular export has been improved: run attributes (iteration variables, etc) are now added to the output as columns. Note that scavetool currently cannot export to SQLite. opp_makemake: OMNeT++ and generated model makefiles now use compiler- generated dependencies (gcc/clang -MMD option) that are saved in the out/ directory in *.d files. "make depend" is no longer needed. opp_makemake: Support for deep includes (automatically adding each subfolder to the include path) has been dropped, due to being error-prone and having limited usefulness. In projects that used this feature, #include directives need to be updated to include the directory as well. opp_makemake: Removed support for generating nmake-compatible makefiles, as we now use GNU Make on all platforms. opp_featuretool: Symbols for enabled features (e.g. WITH_IPv4 for the IPv4 feature in INET) are now placed into a generated header file, instead of being passed to the compiler via -D options. The name of header file can be specified in the feature definition file (.oppfeatures). opp_runall has been reimplemented in Python, and its command-line interface has been redesigned to not only allow using multiple CPUs but also several runs per Cmdenv instance. (This change allows one to execute a large number of short simulation efficiently by reducing process startup overhead.) Internally, opp_runall now uses the new "-q" option of simulations to expand a run filter expression to a list of runs. opp_test: export "run" script and "retest" scripts under work/ for each test, to facilitate running tests manually. Minor bug fixes. Removed unused utilities like opp_makedep, lcg32_seedtool, abspath, and some others. scavetool: the -f option for the 'query' command adds statistics fields (min, max, sum, etc.) as scalars. msgc: Message compiler now correctly generates 'override' keywords for certain functions. The message compiler now generates code which produces no warnings even when -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic is used as a compiler command line option. The IDE is now based on Eclipse 4.6.3 Neon and CDT 9.2.1 (Java 1.8 required). The "Collecting includes…" phase of project build (that could take quite a significant amount of time, and was often seen as a pain point) has been eliminated. The key was to switch from IDE-generated dependencies to compiler-generated dependencies (see corresponding opp_makemake change) that made include analysis in the IDE redundant. Change in "Project Features" feature: Preprocessor symbols for enabled features (e.g. the WITH_IPv4 macro for the IPv4 feature) are now placed into a generated header file, and not added to the build configuration (Paths & Symbols page) as macros to be passed to the compiler via -D options. The name of header file is part of the feature definition file (.oppfeatures). Using a generated header file reduces the number of things that can go wrong during indexing and project build, and also has the advantage of being seen from derived projects. The "Export build tester makefile" button has been removed from the Project Features property page. The INET Framework project now has an opp_featuretool-based shell script for the same purpose (tests/featuretest) that can be easily adapted to other projects as well. Support for deep includes (automatically adding each subfolder to the include path) has been dropped from the IDE as well, due to being error- prone and having limited usefulness. Improvements in the Makemake Options dialog that opens from the Makemake project property page. For example, an "Include directories" listbox has been added to the Compile tab page, and less frequently used options on the same page have been moved under the More>>> link. CDT integration: renamed the default C/C⁠+⁠+ project configuration names from "gcc-debug"/"gcc-release" to simply "debug" and "release". IDE can now generate a makefile that is exactly the same as the one generated by the opp_makemake tool. In the Run/Debug Configurations dialog, the "OMNeT++ Simulation" form page has been revised for usability and to better support simulation campaigns. The launcher (code that schedules and actually runs the simulations and arranges feedback in the Progress view and the Console) has also been improved. Details follow. Batch execution of simulations is now controlled with two new spinner widgets: "Number of CPUs to use", "Runs per process". Radio buttons have been replaced by tri-state checkboxes (with on/off/grayed states, where the grayed state means "no setting specified, let the inifile setting take effect".) The consequent space saving allowed other options to be added to the form page: "Verbose", "Stop batch on error", "Express mode", "Save stdout", "Record scalar results", "Record vector results", "Record eventlog". User interface selection now also uses an editable combo instead of radio buttons. Added content assist for Additional Arguments field. Improvements in the launcher: Simulation batches are now easier to cancel; in case of a simulation error, the error dialog now correctly displays the error message, not just a "Finished with error" text. Updated to know about option changes and new options. In the Browse Data page, display Experiment/Measurement/Replication columns instead of Folder/Filename/RunId/Config/RunNumber. Note that this is just the default value for a preference, so the change will only take effect in new installations or new workspaces. The default columns widths have also been increased. Initial support for SQLite result files. From the end user perspective, they should work exactly as OMNeT++ result files. CSV and other tabular export has been improved in the same way as in scavetool (as they use the same export engine). The Windows version now targets 64-bit Windows, using MinGW-w64. The required GCC compiler is included as well as all necessary libraries (Qt5, OSG, etc.) Support for 32-bit Windows has been dropped. Compiling OMNeT++ now requires a C⁠+⁠+11 compliant compiler. The configure script no longer detects and tests for the presence of the 'pcap' library. If models need it, they have to implement their own method to detect and configure it. omnetpp.h is now treated as a 'system header', so it will no longer generate warnings in case a model specifies more stringent checking for the compiler. The 'configure' script now accepts WITH_XXX=yes/no options on the command line. Look into the configure.user file to see the supported variables. Cross compilation of OMNeT++ for Windows on a Linux host is now supported. Install Guide has been updated and covers the installation procedure on the most recent operating system versions. The Simulation Manual has been heavily updated. Look for the (new) symbol to see the updated content. User Guide now has a new chapter about the Qtenv runtime environment. aloha: The updated example highlights the use of the new smooth animation API. The server and all hosts now have fixed positions (still random but deterministic, and not using auto-layouting), so that their individual propagation delays can be computed. Each transmitted packet is visualized with a ring and many concentric circles, illustrating the propagation of the electromagnetic wave. The visualization is faithful, e.g. multiple signals visually overlapping at a receiver actually means a collision. Animation speed is controlled by each node, taking three parameters for different states (idle, transmission edge, midtransmission) into account. The routing example was modified to demonstrate the new, built-in packet animation in Qtenv. Packets are displayed as arrows along the connection showing the actual packet length on the wire. osg-satellites: Refactored mobility logic and replaced the discontinued MapQuest public tile source with a single offline image to avoid dependency on external sources. queueinglib: Fixed a race condition by requiring the PassiveQueue to allocate the Server before sending a job to it. resultfiles: Result files were renamed to reflect the new default naming scheme (i.e. configname-itervars-#repetition). Check also the bugtracker to see other bugs fixed.

P&T COMMUNITY Approvals, Launches, & New Indications Pipeline Plus Agency Actions P&T TV Dr. David B. Nash Health Care & Law Drug Forecast Meeting Highlights Prescription: Washington P&T Journal Formulary Kits Oklahoma Proton Center Reopens After Equipment Upgrades OKLAHOMA CITY, April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Oklahoma Proton Center, LLC ("OPC") reopened yesterday for treatment after a brief shutdown. Doctors at the center have seen patients in consult for the past two months in preparation for treatments to begin this week. The center had been temporarily closed for equipment upgrades after an ownership change. About twenty patients with different cancer diagnoses are scheduled to begin treatment over the coming weeks. Daniel Keeslar was one of four patients starting treatment yesterday: "The clinical team at the center is one of the most experienced in the country having treated thousands of patients over the past ten years. That fact, combined with the reduced side effects proton therapy offers, made it an easy decision for me when considering treatment options for my prostate cancer." OPC (formerly the ProCure Proton Therapy Center) was the sixth proton center in the United States when it opened in 2009. As one of the early pioneers in the field of proton therapy, the facility developed protocols and technology currently in use at a number of centers around the U.S. OPC has treated patients from thirty-eight different states and remains a regional destination for advanced cancer care as one of just five proton centers in the Southwest. A group with strong local ties and a combined twenty-five years of experience in the proton industry led the acquisition of the center from ProCure, raising $29mm to recapitalize the facility and upgrade equipment. "This proton center has been an important part of the Oklahoma City community and we are excited to continue providing world class cancer care here for years to come," said David Raubach, Chief Development Officer and a member of the center's new ownership and management team. Ion Beam Applications SA ("IBA") partnered with Oklahoma Proton Center to implement equipment upgrades and will continue to provide maintenance and operational support going forward. IBA is the industry leader in proton therapy equipment manufacturing with more than 25 facilities in clinical operation today. OPC is hosting a health and wellness expo from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. in conjunction with the INTEGRIS Cancer Institute on May 18th and will offer tours of the facility and particle accelerator as part of the event.

About proton therapy: Proton Therapy is the most precise form of radiation treatment for cancer available in the U.S. today. Unlike other forms of radiation used in cancer care such as X-Rays, protons stop inside tumors thus reducing the healthy tissue exposed to radiation during treatment. As a result, patients often see fewer side with proton therapy. More than 175,000 patients have been treated with proton therapy worldwide and there are 30 proton centers currently in operation in the U.S. including at most of the leading academic medical centers. Proton Therapy is routinely used to treat solid tumors including prostate, breast, brain, head and neck, lung, esophageal, soft tissue and pediatric tumors. About Oklahoma Proton Center Oklahoma Proton Center is a state-of-the-art proton therapy center in Oklahoma City, OK. The 60,000 square foot facility opened in August of 2009 and has four treatment rooms that utilize the precision of proton particles to treat a variety of cancers. The center is attached to the INTEGRIS Cancer Institute. The combined comprehensive outpatient cancer facility is the largest community cancer center in the region offering proton therapy in conjunction with other advanced therapies for cancer. OPC is dedicated to excellent patient care and advancing proton therapy through innovation and clinical research. About IBA IBA (Ion Beam Applications SA) is a global medical technology company focused on bringing integrated and innovative solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The company is the worldwide technology leader in the field of proton therapy, considered to be the most advanced form of radiation therapy available today.

Butterfly Conservation is trying to discover which UK county is home to the most butterfly-friendly gardens after it was revealed that butterflies are declining faster in urban areas than in the countryside. The wildlife charity is urging nature lovers and gardeners to take part in their 'Plant Pots for Pollinators' campaign and provide nectar sources for pollinating insects in their outdoor spaces. The project, sponsored by retailer B&Q, is encouraging householders to plant a pot with nectar sources such as Shasta Daisy, Cosmos and Catmint. By planting just one pot in each of the UK's estimated 24 million gardens, nature lovers can provide pollinators with an important source of food and shelter throughout the summer. Those taking part can plot the location of their pot on the Plant Pots for Pollinators website and help reveal the most pollinator-friendly county in the UK. Bees, moths, butterflies, hoverflies and beetles have a significant role to play in pollinating wild flowers. Urban gardens act as important refuges for pollinators, but these insects are increasingly under threat from habitat loss, agricultural intensification and climate change. Previously widespread garden species such as the Small Tortoiseshell and Garden Tiger moth have seen their numbers plummet. By planting flowers such as French Marigold, Calendula and Dahlia gardeners provide food for butterflies such as Small Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral and Peacock, while providing a few Thyme and Lavender plants will attract species of bees and other pollinating insects. Pollinating insects are essential for the fertilisation of many crops, including fruit, seeds and oils as well as many plants, trees and wild flowers. Butterfly Conservation Ambassador and wildlife gardening writer Kate Bradbury, said: "Many butterflies will travel far and wide for a good meal, and you don't need a big garden to lure them in. Rachel Bradley, B&Q's Sustainability Manager said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Butterfly Conservation for a second year as part of our commitment to supporting Britain's wildlife. "Last month we launched the Nature of Gardens report which found that 64% of people were concerned about wildlife in Britain and 63% believed there was a benefit in bringing wildlife closer to home, but many felt lack of space was a barrier to helping.

Standardized testing and policies originating from those outside the profession were cited by teachers as their greatest professional frustrations. Why do K-12 teachers stay in the profession despite its many challenges and notoriously limited financial rewards? According to a recent survey of just over a thousand elementary, middle, and high school teachers around the country, the answer is: job satisfaction. "We all know what a challenging profession teaching can be," said Pamela Roggeman, Ed.D., academic dean for the University of Phoenix College of Education. "Our goal with this survey is to understand what it is that keeps them coming back to it, year after year." The survey was conducted online in the U.S. by polling and market research firm Harris on behalf of the University of Phoenix between April 14 and 27. In total, 1,002 full-time K-12 teachers responded to the survey, explained Tanya Burden, director of public relations at Apollo Education Group, of which the University of Phoenix is a subsidiary. All respondents had earned at least an undergraduate degree, she said. A majority (88 percent) of survey respondents cited job satisfaction as the primary reason they continue to pursue the teaching profession. Many (71 percent) said that seeing students grow is what they most enjoy about the job. And more than half (68 percent) of those who entered the field in the last 10 years said they would recommend the profession to others. Professional development opportunities (15 percent). And 69 percent of respondents said they became teachers because they enjoy working with children; 65 percent had a desire to make a difference in children's lives; and 30 percent said they wanted to inspire change in education. Their list of most vexing frustrations included: policy development by those outside the profession (78 percent); standardized testing (67 percent); and students' lack of respect for authority (60 percent). Survey respondents were also asked for their recommendations for improving teacher retention. Tuition reimbursement programs topped that list (56 percent), followed by mentorship programs that support teachers in their first few critical years of teaching (53 percent), relevant professional development opportunities driven by school needs (49 percent) and teacher preparation and continuing education aligned with classroom dynamics, merging theory and practice (48 percent). "It's important to keep in mind that K-12 is a different place from what it was 10 years ago, in terms of leadership opportunities for teachers," Roggeman said. "It used to be that you were either a teacher or an administrator. But today, savvy district leaders are recognizing that you've got to tap into the talent pool of your teachers for creative problem solving." This is the second such annual survey conducted by the for-profit school, and the responses remained relatively consistent, Burden said. The teacher retention questions were new to this year's survey. "We've been hearing a lot about this looming teacher and substitute teacher shortage around the country," she said. "So it made sense to focus on that a little bit more this year." Burden's favorite finding from the survey: Nearly half (47 percent) of respondents reported that they were inspired to join the profession by a teacher they had when they were students. "That number was very similar year over year," she said. Almost all (97 percent) survey respondents agreed that parents should play an essential role in the learning process. And yet, more than half (56 percent) said that they believe fewer than 25 percent of parents are actually involved in their classrooms. Volunteer in the classroom (34 percent). The release of the survey results were timed to correspond with Teacher Appreciation Week, Burden said, which is sponsored by the National Parent Teacher Association. The University of Phoenix College of Education offers associate, bachelor's, and master's degree programs.

New York Court Finds Police Had No Probable Cause to Arrest Defendant after Finding Ammo Magazines in His Pocket As we have discussed many times, experienced criminal defense lawyers know, that seeking suppression of evidence can often be the best defense to a crime charging possession (of drugs, guns or other illegal items). Recently, a state appellate court issued a written opinion in a New York gun possession case. The case required the court to determine if the trial court properly granted the defendant's motion to suppress. Ultimately, the court concluded that the police officers lacked probable cause to arrest the defendant, and affirmed the lower court's decision to grant the defendant's motion to suppress. In this case, both the trial Court and the Appellate Court concluded that the police lacked probable cause to arrest someone who was found to be in possession of a handgun magazine. It is important to note however that had this case been decided in New York City, where the administrative code of the City of New York makes it a crime to possess handgun magazines, the results may have been different. The Facts of the Case According to the court's opinion, police received a call reporting a dispute at a local bar that possibly involved a gun. Upon arrival, police spoke to the bartender who told them that the defendant was the one suspected of having a gun. Police patted the defendant down, discovering that he had two ammunition clips in his pockets. Police then arrested the defendant. A post-arrest search revealed no weapons, but the defendant's car – which was parked across the street – was towed and impounded. The defendant was read his Miranda rights and consented to a search of the vehicle. While searching the trunk of the car, police recovered a stolen .45 caliber handgun. The defendant filed a motion to suppress the gun, arguing that the police lacked probable caused to arrest him and that his consent to search the car was premised on the illegal arrest. After the prosecution presented its case, the defense rested without calling a witness. At that point, the prosecution attempted to re-open the motion to play a 911 call which, the prosecutor claimed, would provide additional support for their argument that the police had probable cause to arrest. The trial court denied the prosecution's request to re-open the motion and granted the defendant's motion to suppress. The prosecution appealed. On appeal, the court affirmed the lower court's decision to grant the defendant's motion. The court explained that the discovery of the ammunition clips did not create probable cause to arrest the defendant. The court went on to explain that the allegations of third parties who reported hearing the defendant say that he had a gun but never saw him with a weapon did not add to the probable cause. Thus, the police were not justified in their arrest of the defendant. The court also held that the trial court was acting within its discretion to deny the prosecution's request to re-open the motion for the presentation of additional evidence.

This page presents the geographical name data for Débarquement Rock in Antarctica, as supplied by the US military intelligence in electronic format, including the geographic coordinates and place name in various forms, latin, roman and native characters, and its location in its respective country's administrative division. Description (see definition): Ice-free rock 0.1 mi long marking the N end of the Dumoulin Islands and the NE end of Geologie Archipelago. The French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville landed on a rocky islet in this vicinity in January 1840 and gave the name "Rocher du Debarquement." Positive identification of this feature has not been made, but on the basis of air photos taken by U.S. Navy (USN) OpHjp, 1946-47, and surveys and geological studies made by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) during the 1950-52 period, the seaward position of Debarquement Rock is believed to correlate with the feature so named by d'Urville. NOTE: The information regarding Débarquement Rock in Antarctica on this page is published from the data supplied by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, a member of the Intelligence community of the Antarctica, and a Department of Defense (DoD) Combat Support Agency. No claims are made regarding the accuracy of information contained here. All suggestions for corrections of any errors about Débarquement Rock should be addressed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Considering that duplicates can hardly be kept in check by hand in small databases, finding duplicate records among large amounts of data, such as those found in databases managed with PostgreSQL, can only be handled if you know how best to proceed. The next step is to select the data source with the data to be processed. To do this, select PostgreSQL from the selection list under 'Format / Access to'. You can read more about the options SQL provides to search for fuzzy duplicates in the article 'Fuzzy matching with SQL'. But only specialised tools that include an error-tolerant (fuzzy) matching algorithm can provide a satisfactory solution to this problem, such as DataQualityToolsd.

The rundown on Anchorage and Pulse On April 7, 2018 May 7, 2018 By Zach ShultzIn Commentary, Culture, Current Events, News, Politics, Television Want to know what's catching this queer eye in news and politics? Here's my take on some of the most hotly-debated issues crowding my Twitter feed over this past week. Have anything to add or an opinion to share? Sound off in the comments! 1. Bathroom bill defeated in Alaska Voter's in Anchorage (Alaska's largest city) made history by narrowly defeating a transgender bathroom ban on Friday, April 6th. Proposition 1–a measure that would have forced transgender people to use bathrooms corresponding to their assigned sex at birth–failed to pass by a six-point margin (53-47). Click on this photo to view a YouTube report on Alaska's trans community. Conservative Christian groups, such as the Family Foundation and Liberty Counsel, have been the loudest proponents of such laws, couching their discriminatory language under the guise of "protecting women and children from sexual predators." Nico Lang, one of my favorite journalists covering LGBT issues, exposes just how ridiculous and twisted this line of thinking is in a moving piece about anti-trans violence and the lack of justice for trans victims in our legal system. It is only within the logic of a transphobic and sexist culture that the victimizers are able to paint themselves as victims. The fact that a majority of voters in Anchorage–a city of nearly 300,000 residents in a red state–saw through this cynical ploy and landed on the right side of history gives me a reason, however cautiously, to feel optimistic. (For those out there who want to get more educated on trans issues, this Vox article is a great place to start.) 2. Wife of Pulse Nightclub shooter acquitted A lot of you may remember that in the aftermath of the tragic mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, there were many reports claiming the shooter, Omar Mateen, had been spotted on gay dating apps and had frequented the club prior to the attack. Following the acquittal on March 30th of his widow, Noor Salman–who was on trial for aiding and abetting her husband–several left-leaning media reports have recast the massacre as a random act of terrorism rather than a calculated and homophobic hate crime. Salman's defense attorneys presented evidence at trial that Mateen had abused, raped, and threatened her over the course of their marriage, and argued that her statement to the FBI–claiming Mateen had specifically targeted Pulse nightclub–was, in fact, a false and coerced confession. Articles appearing in the Huffington Post, The New Yorker, and a long list of other left-leaning media outlets, have been swift to come to Salman's defense. A key pillar of her attorney's closing argument, one which has been taken at face value by journalists, is that Mateen was not a closeted gay man and his crime was not motivated by anti-gay sentiment. Noor Salman and Omar Mateen. While I agree that the evidence for prosecuting Salman appeared insufficient, I am dismayed by the left's complicity in straight-washing the entire story. For LGBT people who come forward to authorities–whether the FBI or local police–it is all too common that our testimonies are written off, discredited, or in the worst of cases, ignored altogether. The media's need to chalk anti-LGBT crimes up to anything other than hatred, while also common, is nonetheless disturbing. Why can't the Orlando shooting be a hate crime and Salman be an innocent victim of her husband's domestic violence? Why must media narratives always be portrayed in either/or terms? This oversimplified characterization may make for an attention-grabbing headline, but rarely serves the larger purpose of uncovering the truth. 2 thoughts on "The rundown on Anchorage and Pulse" Gayrabian in Europe The new Roseanne show is pretty interesting. It's a little impressive that they're showing family members with diametrically opposing political views that must get along. I can relate to that and I imagine others can too. Despite that, I don't like the idea of normalizing hateful politics. It makes me uncomfortable that Roseanne is a little charming. I agree that it feels like a distraction and I'd rather not support that. Zach Shultz I was a fan of the original as a kid and genuinely liked what I saw of the reboot, but I find it difficult to give Roseanne (both character and person) props for "tolerating" a queer character, especially when she supports an administration that is so virulently against equality for queer people. I don't think she should get a pass from us.

Apparently there is such a thing as having too much self-esteem. If you're still single, it might not be because you're not meeting the right people. It might be because you can't actually tell that you're meeting the right people since you're so focused on yourself and how awesome you think you are. At least, according to psychologists, that is. But wait, you might think, having overflowing amounts of self-esteem sounds awesome. But this isn't as great as it initially sounds. It seems that Millennials are finding it harder to date and be with other people and spend more time being single because we were raised to rely more on ourselves and are, essentially, exceptionally good at being alone with only our own thoughts. As a result, Millennials ended up with far more individual skills than relational skills, which means that connecting and relying on other people is actually difficult — because we're so used to relying on ourselves. Why? Because Millennials were taught that self-love and acceptance was the most important thing in their lives. That they shouldn't care about what anyone else thought, and should only seek fulfillment in doing what made them happy. Being satisfied with yourself is great, but it has an unforeseeable dark side: If you don't have any reason to take someone else's needs, wants, or concerns into consideration, you won't. So being self-confident and overly self-loving actually created a huge problem for people looking to date as adults. So many people advocate for loving yourself first and foremost and relying on your own skills so that you can have a rich life on your own. But according to Twenge and other psychologists, many Millennials totally overshot the "good" boundary of self-love and kept going, far beyond what was necessary. Because many young people are so independent in their opinions now, it makes it hard to reach out for personal reasons, which makes connecting to another person that much more difficult. This, according to Caitlin Cantor of Psychology Today, is creating an "army of one" mentality that negatively affects relationships as a result. For this reason, Millennials, more so than other generations before us, struggle in areas of "closeness, connection, vulnerability, and intimacy" since those are relational skills that many people in those age ranges never learned thanks to their proto-focus of self and loving themselves and their opinion of their actions. So yes, apparently there is such a thing as having too much self-esteem.

plagiarism July 4, 2019 Idris Elba Denies 'Offensive and Troubling' Claims of Plagiarism, Discrimination Over New Play Tree By Halle Kiefer@hallekiefer Photo: Emma McIntyre/Getty Images On Thursday Idris Elba posted a statement to Twitter rejecting allegations made by writers Sarah Henley and Tori Allen-Martin that the actor plagiarized work done by the British duo, who reportedly spent four years collaborating with him his new play Tree. According to a blog post published Tuesday, Henley and Allen-Martin alleged that they were removed from the play's credits after being effectively pushed out despite years of work on the show, which follows a biracial young man's journey to his parents' hometown in South Africa. The production was born out of the music of Elba's 2014 album mi Mandela, which Allen-Martin also collaborated on. In response, Idris Elba acknowledged the pair worked on developing the play, but says "new ambitions" took the show in a different direction, and that claims of plagiarism are "offensive and troubling." Instead, the actor suggests it was Henley and Allen-Martin who chose not to pursue the production's new direction under director Kwame Kwei-Armah. "As new ambitions started to be proposed for the jump off point for development, Tori & Sarah decided they didn't want to pursue the early thoughts and declined to work any further on the project," he wrote. "This is not uncommon in the development process. They expressed their reasoning and we respected their decision. We were left without any writers and had to start work very quickly, which is our contractual right as beholder of the original idea, the album." The writing duo is, the actor points out, at least acknowledged in the foreword of the program printed for the first preview of Tree. The production premiered at the Manchester International Festival today. Tree - The Genesis.

I have a photo at home of me on a horse. I was about sixteen and I was riding the big kind mare who I never owned but who the thought of spending time with twice a week got me through the stress of my leaving cert year. I am sat on her back without a saddle cantering around the sand arena with my arms outstretched and a smile on my face. It was pure trust and pure freedom but we can't do that anymore.

Vivek Singh spurned family expectations to follow in his father's footsteps and become an engineer, surprising them instead by announcing he wanted to become a chef. After graduating from catering college, Vivek joined the Oberoi Hotel group as an Indian cuisine specialist. He first worked at the Oberoi flight kitchens in Mumbai, where 2000 meals were produced everyday for various airlines, before moving to the Grand Hotel in Calcutta. By just 26, Vivek had been fast-tracked to become the Indian chef of the Oberoi's flagship Rajvilas, in Jaipur, voted as one of the most luxurious hotels in the world by Tatler. From an early age, Vivek had been reading Escoffier and later devoured books by Marco Pierre White and Charlie Trotter during his time at Rajvilas. When Iqbal Wahhab, the co-founder of The Cinnamon Club, talked to him about how he saw Indian flavours and western culinary styles being married, Vivek was already on the same page. Since first opening its doors in 2001 at the old Westminster Library, The Cinnamon Club has been redefining the expectations of Indian cooking. Vivek has liberated Indian food from its straitjacket of tradition and crafted a brilliant marriage between Indian spicing and western culinary styles. Vivek authored The Cinnamon Club cookbook to wide acclaim in 2003 and The Cinnamon Club Seafood Cookbook in 2006. He is widely believed to be one of the most articulate Indian chefs of his generation, making a plethora of TV and radio appearances. 2008 saw the launch of Vivek's third cookbook, Curry: Classic and Contemporary, coinciding with the opening of his second restaurant, Cinnamon Kitchen. Located in the City's redeveloped Devonshire Square, Cinnamon Kitchen and its capacious bar, Anise, is host to London's only tandoor bar and grill. March 2011 marked the first decade of The Cinnamon Club, with the restaurant serving its millionth customer. The restaurant is certainly now established as a key part of the London restaurant scene and recognised as a key influence on the evolution of Indian food. 2012 hasn't been any less busy for Vivek, having launched his third restaurant, Cinnamon Soho, in March, and working towards the launch of his fourth cookbook, Cinnamon Kitchen The Cookbook, this November. Vivek continues to be a regular on Saturday Kitchen, Masterchef and Market Kitchen.

Relating to the pilot program authorizing a property owner to appeal to the State Office of Administrative Hearings regarding certain appraisal review board determinations. Summary: HB 316 would make permanent a pilot program that has operated in numerous Texas counties that allows property owners the opportunity to protest appraisal review board determinations concerning property valued at more than $1 million. Protests are made to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) instead of to a district court. According to interested parties, the SOAH may be a less costly and time consuming alternative to a district court appeal for entities with properties appraised at the $1 million level, although there are no specific findings of cost savings to date. HB 316 makes the appellate process for certain property permanent and available to taxpayers statewide. Analysis: HB 316 limits government by allowing certain property owners the opportunity to appeal appraisal determinations to SOAH, instead of to a district court. By allowing both SOAH and district courts to address property appraisal appeals, the burden on district courts to adjudicate these appraisal appeals will be lifted, and entities will be able to appeal more easily. This can work to lower appraisal values for Texans that believe their property has been overvalued, thereby limiting the size and scope of government by limiting the amount they can tax Texas property owners.

Those of you who follow me on Instagram and Twitter may have seen me mention a certain #FieldTripTour that I had the pleasure of going on last Saturday. Organised by the amazing Sabrina and Mayah from Call It Vanity, #FieldTripTour brought together a whole host of green beauty bloggers for a fun shopping adventure around London. Although I'm technically not a green beauty blogger myself, everyone was incredibly friendly and I had a great time learning about some new brands and products from various conversations. I think my beauty wishlist is bigger now than it's ever been! Due to the shops that we would be visiting being on the small side, it made sense to split everyone into two separate groups. I was placed into Group B which was led by Sabrina and included Amber, Liz, Ana, Annabel, Katie and Tamara. Go and check out their blogs if you don't already follow them - everyone was so lovely and it was a such a pleasure to meet bloggers who I've been following myself for such a long time, it's always nice to be able to put a proper face to a blog! So onto the #FieldTripTour - our first stop was at BeautyMART in Boxpark, Shoreditch. This tiny, tiny shop sells a specially edited selection of some of the most coveted and popular brands in the beauty world and offers something for everyone's budget (think GlamGlow, Daniel Sandler, Real Techniques, Bourjois, Zelens, Weleda, Balmain, Mary Greenwell etc). Sadly because it's such a small shop, stock seemed to be quite limited and I was disappointed that I couldn't find any Ilia or Davines products. I was tempted to pick up another Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush but they didn't have the shade I wanted unfortunately. Although I didn't pick up anything, I would still recommend BeautyMART to any beauty fans who find themselves in the Shoreditch area, but perhaps phone ahead if you're after a particular product to check that they have it in. The next shop we went to was WholeFoods in Kensington which is quite frankly, ENORMOUS! I was completely overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the place and apparently it's the biggest store in the whole of Europe. Luckily, it didn't feel busy or crowded at all, and we had plenty of room to browse their amazing beauty section. As this was my first time in a WholeFoods, I didn't really know what to expect, but I was so pleased to find a huge variety of green brands including Antipodes, Green People, REN, S5, Dr Bronners, Avalon Organics, Desert Essence, Tisserand, Weleda, Pacifica, Zoya, Butter London, and many, many more. I bought a big bottle of Dr Bronners Magic Soap in the Tea Tree flavour (Dr Bronners were on sale and I just love the multi-purpose usefulness of their liquid soaps, they work so well for washing makeup brushes too!), a bottle of Avalon Organics Shampoo in Shine Ylang Ylang and Conditioner in Nourishing Lavender (off my wishlist and also on sale) and Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask (this has been on my wishlist forever). I couldn't resist picking up some food items as well - Artisan Grains Chia Seeds (loving these on everything at the moment), Caveman Cookies Alpine (recommended by Liz and they are so yummy!) and Pur Gum in Pomegranate Mint. We all had lunch in the huge cafeteria area and met up briefly with Group A. I really wish we'd had longer to chat to everyone - you could probably just spend a day in WholeFoods itself! After WholeFoods, the next stop was Nature & Co which is a beautiful green beauty boutique. They have a dedicated spa downstairs for pampering treatments, massages and facials, which sounds heavenly. Nature & Co stocks exclusive brands such as Alima Pure and La Sultane de Saba, as well as the likes of Caudalie, Kure Bazaar, Oskia, Rahua, TanOrganic, Acca Kappa. I headed straight to the Dr. Hauschka stand and bought their Lemongrass Body Oil which I've been lusting after for a long time. I was really tempted to pick up some other bits, but didn't want to bankrupt myself before reaching the next shop! I will certainly be paying Nature & Co another visit in the near future though to take full advantage of the kind 10% discount card they gave me. Saving the very best to last, our final stop on the #FieldTripTour was Content Beauty & Wellbeing. If there is such a thing as heaven on earth, well Content Beauty & Wellbeing is definitely where it's at. I've been following the store on Instagram for ages and couldn't wait to visit in person. It's exactly how I imagined it; a small and intimate leafy haven playing host to the creme de la creme of the green beauty world. Here you'll find everything from Ilia, Green & Spring, RMS, Jane Iredale, Kjaer Weis, Studio 78, May Lindstrom, Tata Harper, Pai, One Love Organics, Trilogy and so many more. To say I was spoilt for choice was an understatement. After much deliberation, I ended up buying a bag of Therapie Himalayan Detox Salts (have been wanting to try these forever, so that's another ticked off my wishlist!), an Ilia lipstick in In My Room (again on my wishlist and such a gorgeous colour) and a new Konjac sponge in French Pink Clay. We all met Imelda who runs Content Beauty & Wellbeing, and I loved her passion for all of the brands that she stocks. Not only did Content give us an amazing 20% off everything we bought, they also handed each of us an awe inducing goody bag comprising of samples of Suki Skincare, Tata Harper, Twelve, Rahua, Abel Organics and a FULL size Vapour Illusionist Concealer - WOW! Also included was a super generous 20% off VIP card for our next visit - I'm already compiling a list as we speak...! I'd like to say a huge thanks again to Sabrina and Mayah from Call It Vanity for organising the #FieldTripTour - I had an awesome time (even if my purse is weeping!) and look forward to the next adventure! Have you visited any of these shops? I wish that I could visit these shops! They look lovely! Great purchases btw! Evelyn, you know you're an honorary greenie in our hearts! Thank you so much for this wonderful post, hearing everyone had such a great time makes s want to start planning the next one already! Sounds like a fab day! I would love to get more involved with things like this! Huge fan of One Love Organics. Great post!

A Photo Teacher | Posted in Lecture Materials, PHOT 165 by Paul Turounet on September 13, 2008 Color is life, for a world without color seems dead. As a flame produces light, light produces color. As intonation lends color to the spoken word, color lends spiritually realized sound to form. Harmony implies balance, symmetry of forces. – Johannes Itten, from The Art of Color From 1919 – 1922, Johannes Itten developed and taught courses on color theory to students at the School of Applied Arts in Weimer, Germany, or better known as the Bauhaus, the infamous German art school of the early twentieth-century. Initially trained as an educator with an interest in psychoanalytic theory, Itten utilized these ideas into developing his theories on color composition and the relationships of color which became the foundation of his book, The Art of Color (also found in The Elements of Color). In the book, Itten proposed that not only was color experienced and understood visually with such considerations as the 12 Hue Color Circle and the Seven Color Contrasts, but also psychologically and emotionally. While Itten's ideas on the role and function of color were concentrated and developed within the structure of painting, these same theories can be applied to developing a visual vocabulary and use within the context of color photography. Below are some useful considerations from Itten's The Art of Color that suggest the possiblities of developing a color sensibility and color harmony in photography – a visual relationship and structure between colors that are capable of serving as a basis for composition and revealing content. Color Impression Colored light reflected from colored objects modifies the colors of other objects. …………Full Light……………………………………Medium Light……………………………………………..Shadow © William Eggleston (left); Joel Sternfeld (middle); Paul Graham (right) Color Altered or Varied in 5 Modes © Mark Rothko Hue – name and properties/mixture of a color that enables it to be perceived Brilliance – how light or dark a color is Saturation – the level and mixture of white, black, grey or complimentary included in color Extension – proportions of color Simultaneous – shifting of colors to complementary Color Agent and Color Effect Color Agent is the physically or definable colorant. Color Effect is the psychophysiolocgical color reality. Color is not only experienced and understood visually, but also psychologically and emotionally. © Gregory Crewdson (left) and Philip-Lorca diCorcia (right) 12 Hue Color Circle Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Shades of yellow (when gray is added) are visually unappealing because they lose cheerfulness and become dingy. Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealous. Light yellow is associated with intellect, freshness, and joy. © Philip-Lorca diCorcia (left), William Eggleston, (middle) and Nan Goldin (right) Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Light red represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love. Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness. Dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath. Brown suggests stability and denotes masculine qualities. Reddish-brown is associated with harvest and fall. © Philip-Lorca diCorcia (left) and William Eggleston (right) Passive from the point of view of material space. Always cool and shadowy. Atmospheric.

There are two things I love: a pretty cookbook and a bit of a healthy eating fad. Not that Lola Berry's new book The Happy Cookbook is faddish in any way – on the contrary, it's the most balanced and sensible 'healthy' cookbook I've seen in ages. But it came to me at the most opportune time. My acupuncturist suggested last week that I give up grains for a little while as I wait for inflammation to go down in my vertebrae. So now I get to be one of those special people in restaurants. Just for a while, anyway. For those who don't know who Lola is, she is a very well known Australian nutritionist who has a great reputation for helping people lose weight in a sensible way. She's real and accessible and a straight talker, which I love. She would be totally fun to have a glass of wine with – which makes her all right with me. And The Happy Cookbook is full of wholefood recipes that are processed sugar- and gluten-free. No matter whether you are into giving up certain food groups or if you just want to eat easy and delicious food that is fantastic for you, this book is the bomb. Everything I have made so far has been super easy, and super delish. Highlights have been the grain-free granola, sweet potato pudding (great for dessert AND breakfast…and lunch), the golden goodness smoothie (including mango, turmeric and ginger), and chia pudding. And I have my eye on the incredible cake and cookie section too. So if you're looking for a cookbook of colourful, healthy recipes that will leave you feeling fab – and that the kids will actually eat – grab yourself a copy. Are you into the wholefoods thing? Wow, that's great! I've been off grains for two weeks now and I have to admit the first week I didn't really notice a difference, but the second week I am feeling much better. The inflammation in my back has gone down and I am feeling lighter and less bloated. Less processed food has to be a good thing, right!?

It's not. It's what happens when you mix jazz with photo editing. Things go a little crazy. I made this picture in Albuquerque. New Mexico. It was one of the first serious pictures that I took with my iPhone. It was an early model. And, it was the back up to the back to the back up. I ran out of storage space and batteries. If you know one thing about me, I have way too many SD cards and even more batteries. It was just one of those days. So. I tinkered with this last night. And, even more today. It's not what you are thinking. I just ran out of energy to keep going. I stayed out of energy this morning, which should help explain why this post is later this morning. I went for a walk with the dog who sees stuff. While a lot of people around us in other regions are suffering, we in New Orleans are having a fall day in summer. Temperatures are in the high 70s or low 80s. Low humidity. And, a gentle breeze. When we got to this little park, she sat down. She looked at me as if to say, "there is no way that I'm leaving." Grass, cool sunlight, a breeze. What could be better? So we hung out. The picture. A combination of all that processing software that I've been using. Again. I've been asked what exactly I do. I don't know. You just sort of have to play around until you like what you see. Lighten it a bit if you are going to print it. Darken it a bit if it's going on a monitor. Wow! Love it! Great energy!

Composed 2004 Duration ca. 20 min. When one views the work of Mark Rothko one is struck first by the emotional impact of these monumental paintings and then by their similarity—all pictures seem to be variations of one another—variations without a theme, for there are no recognisable objects or motives, just colours, areas and proportions. My Rothko Variations then, are conceived in this sense, not in the traditional musical variation form, but as a series of pieces without themes, containing only orchestral colours and shapes. In order to put these four "Variations" into a wider perspective I have separated them with three Interludes whose style contrasts strongly with the main material: where the "Variations" are slow and dense, the Interludes are faster and lighter.

Michter's Celebration Sour Mash: Rare Kentucky Whiskey Returns for First Time Since 2019 by Brad Japhe If you love American whiskey, today is your lucky day: Michter's just announced the return of its revered Celebration Sour Mash. The melodious blend of well-aged Kentucky bourbons and ryes initially debuted in 2013, and this latest edition marks just the fourth time it's seen shelves since then. Beginning in February, a total of 328, gold-topped bottles will arrive at select retailers across the globe, housed in a beautiful burgundy enclosure containing a hand-signed letter from master distiller Dan McKee. It'll certainly sit pretty on any backbar. But to justify a four-figure price tag—it retails for $6,000—the juice within can't merely be good, it has to be transformational. To ensure that outcome, McKee plucked some of the most precious stock from the Michter's maturation warehouse, outside of Louisville: three barrels of Kentucky straight bourbon and four casks of Kentucky straight rye, all of it spanning 12 to 30 years in age. This one clocks in at an exacting proof of 112.8 (56.4% ABV), a touch lower than its immediate predecessor—the 2019 edition, which wore a 115.6 proof on its label. Despite the slight shift in strength, the latest Michter's Celebration Sour Mash aims at the same benchmarks defining its ultra luxury mark. If you're lucky enough to line up a pour, you can expect savory clove shrouded behind a smidge of umami to give way to roasted pineapple and fresh-baked pecan pie. It's a decadent holiday spread in each sip. Maestro Dobel 50 Silver Oak Edition: Where Wine and Tequila Collide Although it's comprised exclusively of bourbon and rye, it refuses to fall firmly on either side of the fence, instead existing as something entirely unique—something greater than the sum of its parts. Master of maturation Andrea Wilson knows that such alchemy can only be achieved at precise moments in time. When the most senior cooperage under her care passes through this narrowest of windows, she pounces. Most recently that cosmic alignment occurred late last year, but supply chain issues in packaging delayed the release until this February—which is why it'll debut to the world as the 2022 Edition. Ilegal Mezcal 7-year Añejo: Extremely Limited Release "I am thrilled with this release and very proud of the Michter's Team," says Wilson. "This whiskey is an exploratory journey of aged bourbons and ryes blended to perfection that leaves your palate captivated with its bold elegance." She's paid to produce such high praise, of course. The real proof of Michter's Celebration Sour Mash's superiority is what whiskey enthusiasts have been shelling out for this liquid over the past decade. Macallan 81-Year-Old Single Malt Sells for $325K at Sotheby's It can often fetch thousands of dollars per pour at high-end cocktail bars from Tampa to Tokyo. The aforementioned 2019 bottling currently enjoys an average price of $32,000 on the secondary. So, if you find this one on shelves at retail, you'll have quite the cause for celebration indeed.

Gauguin Tahiti https://www.mfa.org/collections/publications/gauguin-tahiti Despite living most of his life in France, Paul Gauguin is immediately identified with Tahiti, largely due to his immense body of visual art (such as paintings and sculptures) that were produced during his time there during the turn of the 19th century. One of these monumental works is an impressive canvas titled, Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? At the time of its completion, Gauguin noted that "I believe that this canvas not only surpasses all my preceding ones, but that I shall never do anything better, or even like it." This extraordinary work forms the centerpiece of a current exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and is extensively profiled on this website for the web-browsing public. From this site, visitors can view in great detail an interactive presentation of this work, presented by WBUR.org. Visitors may move a virtual magnifying glass over the work and click on fifteen separate areas that profile various segments of the painting. Each clickable fragment is further augmented by audio interviews from art historians offering their learned commentaries. Additionally, visitors can listen to an interview with exhibition curator George Shackelford, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Elizabeth Childs, professor of art history at Washington University in St. Louis.

On the weekend of the 6th-7th February Bon Accord chess club hosted a chess training weekend given by FIDE trainer Jonathan Grant at the Castlewood lodges in Strachan. There were approximately 19 participants with ratings ranging from around 1200 – 1900. About ⅓ of the participants were juniors, and the event attracted participants from Newmachar, Stonehaven and elsewhere, even a couple from Dundee. Jonathan used a mixture of training techniques during the weekend. Mostly he would present interesting games or fragments on a demonstration board, and stop at critical moments to ask the audience questions relevant to the current position. At other times he would give out positions to work on individually or in teams, and then discuss the results with the whole group. Here most people in the group thought the solution was 26…Qg3, and some saw that 27.Nc6 is met by 27…Re2 but no-one then noticed that after 28.Qc3 white is at least equal. In the game Peter Svidler found the marvellous 26…Re2! which wins after 27.Qxe2 Qg3, and also after 27.Qc3 Rxf2. In this position black has played passively and has a weakness on d5, but white now somehow needs to create a second weakness in order to make progress. There were a lot of different suggestions here 25.b4, 25.e4, 25.Bg4, 25.Kh2, 25.Kh1 before the correct solution 25.g4 seeking to create a second weakness on the king side was suggested (Jonathan also thinks 25.h4 is a good move which no-one suggested). Special thanks to Jonathan Grant for preparing some excellent training material, and presenting it in a very interesting manner, to Richard Jennings for organising the event and to Alison Smith who very kindly donated the use of the venue free of charge.

Yagate Kimi ni Naru Anime Review By Will Sirius August 27, 2019 5 Comments I dunno if I had expressed already here on my blog how much I adore the Yuri genre. From animes to mangas, I totally adore them, whether the pairings are canon or just a bait. Count me in! If I remember it correctly, it was around the time of my late years in college when I got into the yuri genre…heavily. I mean, I had been adoring this genre since I was in high school, but it was around this time when I actually "thirst" for more Yuri content. It was through this scavenge hunt of mine when where I discovered a "not-so-hidden diamond-in-the-rough" yuri manga called Bloom into you (English title of Yagate Kimi ni Naru). Yuu Koito has always been entranced with romantic shoujo manga and the lyrics of love songs. She patiently waits for the wings of love to sprout and send her heart aflutter on the day that she finally receives a confession. Yet, when her classmate from junior high declares his love for her during their graduation, she feels unexpectedly hollow. The realization hits her: she understands romance as a concept, but she is incapable of experiencing the feeling first-hand. Now, having enrolled in high school, Yuu, disconcerted and dispirited, is still ruminating over how to respond to her suitor. There, she happens upon the seemingly flawless student council president, Touko Nanami, maturely rejecting a confession of her own. Stirred by Touko's elegant manner, Yuu approaches her for advice, only to be bewildered when the president confesses to her! Yuu quickly finds herself in the palm of Touko's hand, and unknowingly sets herself on a path to find the emotion which has long eluded her. – Myanimelist Before the anime, I had read the entirety of the manga. Still, I will try to focus more on what was shown in the anime. Well, it's not like there were a lot of changes. Lel. Yagate Kimi ni Naru was the yuri anime everyone needed. With the latest backlash of Citrus anime, I myself thought that this anime genre will forever be set aside by people. Thank God, this adaptation was a perfection. Wow. Big word. Why would I say "Perfection"? Well, they perfectly adapted its source material and this is a rare case! Usually, the anime studios tend to butcher the source material, but in this production, the studio, TROYCA, did more than what is necessary and made the series a lot better. As a huge fan of the manga, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS. I am not really familiar much with studio TROYCA's work, but they sure made me interested to check them out. Now for the story. When I first read its synopsis, I find it quite generic and too safe. Well, everything should start from something, even if it's a bit generic, right? Still, the fact that this was a yuri series with that kind of synopsis definitely peaked my interest. And it didn't disappoint. From start to finish, I couldn't keep my eyes out of the screen. The story was too engaging, relatable and very timely. Even though I am pretty much in my mid-20s, I admit I also experienced or long for the same stuff the characters faced and struggled with. This series was too good to be true. Not only that, the pacing all through out the series was amazing. This is all thanks to the amazing pacing of the source material itself. Each page of the manga was utilized really well and each arc flowed seamlessly from one to another. Uuuugggghhhhh…why is this so good?? Still, this anime had a bit of a problem. I know I said that this series was Perfection, it literally was, but theres still alot of people not liking the ending. And yeah, I hate to admit I am also disappointed by it, but it cant be helped, the anime production needs to stop there. If you want to know what I'm talking about…then watch the show. Lol. Let's just say, the anime ended before the biggest arc of the series. Yes, they ended the anime right before the start of the climax climb to the top of our feels. In some ways, I am happy they ended there and not beyond, but it was an unbearable cliffhanger. Though, I do admit, this move of the studio definitely made the anime viewers check out the manga to see WTF happened after the end. Still, I am hoping for a 2nd season. For the characters. It's been awhile since I had seen a series where all the characters, even the supporting ones, felt really important. I mean, all the characters in this series were utilized so well, were given enough parts and developments to shine, it was amazing to watch. Not only that, the main casts were amazing. I feel like I am running out of adjectives to describe how amazing they were, but…they really were amazing. Hahahahaha. Nanami Touko, and Koito Yuu were both complex characters, but not to a point where you cant understand them. From their actions to their way of thinking, you cant help but sympathize and empathize with them as they are real af. If I were to choose between them who's the closest to me, then that would be Yuu. Like Yuu, I am a huge fan of romance. From its tropes to its cliches, you name it, I hella know them. So everything Yuu felt in the first half of the series, I pretty much went through with it too, except I didn't have a Nanami-senpai with me. Too bad. Lol. Now for the art and animation. My gosh. I have no words on how beautiful this anime adaptation was. The manga's art itself was already amazing, so I kinda expected they wont be able to capture the same essence and yet studio TROYCA threw me a curve ball and hit me in the face with amazing art and animation. For its character designs, to its background art….one word, BREATHTAKING. No wonder this series got a nomination in Best in Animation at the Crunchroll Awards. Not like it's important or anything, I guess it just shows that it's not only me who was enthralled by it's amazing art and animation. Uuuwwwwaaaa…if only all animes are like this. Okay, it seemed I had dragged this review too long already so…let's wrap it up. Overall, this anime is amazing. You should watch it. Dont mind that this is a yuri anime. It's great and amazing. A MUST WATCH. Also, check its manga too. Its equally amazing. This has been Will Sirius and Thanks for reading!!!

It's taken a unique approach to have Yuu not understand romance, as yuri I've came across either never explore this spectrum or the girls never end up together (Oniisama e, for one.) Generally, I like yuri over typical romance stories as everything feels more intimate and the same goes for this one. Will Sirius says: I totally understand if u stopped the anime, after all, the manga is really good. You can check out its anime afterwards as it followed the manga really really well. 🙂 I planned on watching Oniisama e in the future. I just need to find a better copy first. Heh.

No. 5 Baylor blows out Morehead State G Fiume / Getty Images Sport / Getty WACO, Texas (AP) — Sarah Andrews scored 20 points, Queen Egbo and NaLyssa Smith each had a double-double and No. 5 Baylor beat Morehead State 73-28 on Tuesday night. The Bears (7-1) held the Eagles to 20% shooting (11 off 55) in their 64th consecutive nonconference home victory. Egbo had a career-high 16 rebounds while scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting and was one of five Baylor players with a game-high four assists. Smith had 10 points and 11 rebounds. Andrews was 6 of 8 from 3-point range as Baylor finished 13 of 29 (45%) from deep. Ja'Mee Asberry scored 12 points while going 4 of 12 beyond the arc. Morehead State (1-5) failed to reach double digits in any quarter. Jada Claude scored eight points and Julan McDonald had six as the pair combined to go 6 of 25 from the field. Baylor closed the first half on a 14-3 run for a 37-17 halftime lead. Andrews had two of the Bears' four 3-pointers during that stretch. Morehead State: The shooting struggles were at their worst in the third quarter, when the Eagles made just 1 of 16 from the field and were outscored 25-3 for a 60-22 deficit. Baylor: The bigger Bears dominated on the glass with a 47-28 edge in rebounding, but they had a rough night offensively against an overmatched opponent with 13 turnovers. Morehead State: At Evansville on Dec. 11. Baylor: Hosts Missouri on Saturday.

Q: Getting a "TypeError: an integer is required" in my script I am trying to make a botnet using Python, for educational reasons, and I keep getting the following error: TypeError: an integer is required Here is my script: import os import socket import random import string # string.letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' a = random.choice(string.letters) b = random.choice(string.letters) c = random.choice(string.letters) d = random.choice(string.letters) e = random.choice(string.letters) name = 'bot' + a + b + c + d + e network = 'chat.freenode.net' port = 6667 irc = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM ) irc.connect ( ( network, port ) ) print irc.recv ( 4096 ) irc.send ('NICK', name + '\r\n') irc.send ( 'USER', name, name, name, ':Python IRC\r\n' ) irc.send ( 'JOIN #occult_hand\r\n' ) irc.send ( 'PRIVMSG #occult_hand :Hello World.\r\n' ) while True: data = irc.recv ( 4096 ) if data.find ( 'PING' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'PONG ' + data.split() [ 1 ] + '\r\n' ) if data.find ( '!shutdown' ) != -1: irc.send ( "PRIVMSG #occult_hand :Fine, if you don't want me\r\n" ) irc.send ( 'QUIT\r\n' ) if data.find ( '!list' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'PRIVMSG #occult_hand :' + name, 'ONLINE\r\n' ) if data.find ( '!ddos' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'PRIVMSG #occult_hand :Enter a target\r\n' ) if data.find ( 'KICK' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'JOIN #occult_hand\r\n' ) if data.find ('cheese') != -1: irc.send ( 'PRIVMSG #occult_hand :WHERE!!!!!!\r\n' ) print data A: The script errors on line 21, irc.send('NICK', name + '\r\n'): Traceback (most recent call last): File "botnet.py", line 21, in irc.send('NICK', name + '\r\n') TypeError: an integer is required It's because the socket.send method has the following signature, as per the docs: socket.send(string[, flags]) The string argument is the data to be sent. The flags argument is the optional flags, that are the same as described in Unix man 2 recv. See http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/recv.2.html for details. Basically, the flags argument is an integer value and defaults to 0. The flag values, as described by Unix man page, are available in the socket module as constants and you get the value by combining the required flag values using an OR logical operation, e.g.: socket.send(data, flags=socket.MSG_OOB | socket.MSG_DONTROUTE) To fix your script, you have to concatenate all the data you want to send into one string, and pass that as the first argument to the socket.send method everywhere: irc.send('NICK' + name + '\r\n') irc.send('USER' + name + name + name + ':Python IRC\r\n') # ... A: Please post the actual error message. For now what I can say is that you should have another look at your send method. For example, with irc.send ('NICK', name + '\r\n') you are passing two strings to send. According to https://docs.python.org/2/library/socket.html and man 2 recv the flag argument(s) must be integer. A: I looked up for this issue, seems like you should put a integer ( UNIX socket constant ) there to let it work, but from your later code, I assume you just want to give messages but this optional parameter, so you could change irc.send ('NICK', name + '\r\n') irc.send ( 'USER', name, name, name, ':Python IRC\r\n' ) to irc.send ('NICK' + name + '\r\n') irc.send ( 'USER' + name + name + name + ':Python IRC\r\n' ) I guess you're mixing python's string concatenation operator + with , from some other languages :) I tested the changed version in my box, it won't cause the error anymore, though I still don't know what this code does, could you please explain a bit :)

This pool was a self build by the previous owner of the house. It has a fantastic form and really looks good, especially now we we have renovated it and made it waterproof! This swimming pool was leaking from vertical cracks in the structure. These were caused by poor design and poor building methods. The design of the pool was poor because the pool is very long, but the narrowest point is in the middle of the 13m length, creating an inherent weakness in the design. At this narrowest point, the pool cracked both sides. If the standard of construction had been good, maybe this would not have happened. The quality of the swimming pool construction was poor. It has been built on reclaimed ground, not uncommon in Spain. This is not a problem if the foundation is good. Instead of being built with reinforced concrete, breeze blocks filled with concrete were used. This will never be as strong as plant mixed concrete poured over steel cages and properly vibrated. The Renolit AlkorPlan liner is a solution specified by architects and civil engineers for the waterproofing of flawed structures, as the material has a guaranteed 3% capacity. (other versions of AlkorPlan lining are used for reservoirs, tunnels and waterproofing of factory roofs). This 3% equates to allowing movement of 3cm per metre. No other swimming pool waterproofing has this guarantee. For this pool, we installed the Renolit AlkorPlan 3000 membrane in Persia Blue with matching non slip material for the treads of the steps. A renolit liner can be fitted to your pool as a renovation method. Your pool doesn't have to be broken. If you are planning to have your pool renovated, contact us today. The best time to do this kind of work is after Summer when the pool is out of use.

    By default HCSR04 ultrasonic sensors don't work with johnny-five. This is because they use a custom protocol that requires pulseIn which is not part of the core firmata. To overcome this for arduinos you can use a custom firmata (installable from this package) however for devices like Raspberry Pis, you can't directly connect these devices. As such a "BackPack" provides the ability to use devices such as this using I2C which is supported by all Johnny-Five boards. More info on this can be found at [NodeBots Interchange](http://github.com/ajfisher/nodebots-interchange). ## Installation and getting started Installation can be done manually using: ```sh npm install nodebots-hcsr04 ``` However if you are using johnny five then you can use [Interchange](http://github.com/ajfisher/nodebots-interchange) instead ## Firmware installation using Interchange Interchange is the preferred method of installation with the following instructions being the way to do it. A "supported board" means that precompiled binaries are shipped in the repo. This means you don't need to install arduino to be able to install this on your board (this is especially useful if you're on a chromebook). To get started with interchange: ``` npm install nodebots-interchange ``` This will place the `interchange` application in your `node_modules/.bin` folder and you can either run this directly or add `./node_modules/.bin` to your path in order to run it. The sections below explain how to use it and see the [Interchange documentation](http://github.com/ajfisher/nodebots-interchange/) for more details and examples. ### I2C Backpack. The I2C backpack is the preferred method of use as it's a separate module, and won't impact the performance of your main Arduino running firmata. In addition you can use this on any nodebots device that supports an I2C connection through it's IO Plugin (eg RPI, BeagleBone, Tessel etc). Currently supported devices (and their board names): * Arduino Nano (preferred) (nano) * Arduino ProMini (pro-mini) * Arduino Uno (uno) To install, you need to put your backpack into "configuration mode". After flashing, this will configure the board with firmware IDs and default I2C address. Simply jump pin D2 HIGH (connect D2 to 5V). Once complete, remove this jumper to use normally (see wiring diagram below).  Then use interchange to flash and configure the board. ```sh interchange install hc-sr04 -p <port> -a <board=[nano|uno|pro-mini]> ``` Where `<board>` is the type of board using the names given above and `<port>` is the name or address of the serial port (eg: /dev/tty.usbserial1450). To use the ping sensor, wire it up as the diagram below shows and then you can use it with the Johnny Five controller. Note that the trigger and echo are wired to the same pin which is D8 on the backpack.  ### Custom firmata If you have an arduino and want to use a custom firmata you can simply install the firmware directly. ``` interchange install hc-sr04 --firmata -a <board> -p <port> ``` Currently supported devices are (and their name for use above): * Arduino Uno (uno) * Arduino Nano (nano) * Arduino ProMini (pro-mini). If you want to use a different board then open the `firmware/build/hcsr04_firmata` directory and compile the files using Arduino or GCC. Upload using your normal process from there. ## Developing Generally speaking it's a case of simply cloning the repo, doing an npm install and doing development as normal. One thing to note is that all pull requests require rebuilding the application in order to generate a new set of builds. For this it's handy to make sure you have the `ARDUINO_PATH` environment variable set and then a `grunt compile` is all you need. `ARDUINO_PATH` is simply a full path to the arduino run time, noting that you also must have a version more recent than 1.6.2 in order to get command line benefits. To make a build, simply `grunt compile` and it should do everything needed. ### Arduino Version Currently this repo uses the Arduino 1.6.6 build in order to maintain consistency of build process with regards to where compiled Hexes end up. ## Tests Before issuing a pull request, please deliver appropriate tests and also make sure the test suite has been run completely - this will ensure build and hex files are in the right location.

Watch: IKEA completes 1.35 MW solar carport, with seven more underway Distributed Solar Development­­ built the Baltimore carport and will deliver the home furnishings giant's other projects in Maryland and California. February 26, 2021 Joe Bebon Image: DSD In partnership with New York-based Distributed Solar Development­­ (DSD), home furnishings retailer IKEA said it completed a 1.35 MW solar carport at its Baltimore location and plans to build seven more projects at other U.S. stores. The solar carports will help IKEA move toward its goal of being powered by 100% renewable energy while also increasing energy efficiency by 2025. DSD designed and built the Baltimore carport. Initial results indicate the location has seen an 84% decrease in its purchased energy requirement between September and December 2020, equating to a 57% cost savings for the store. The Baltimore project is the first of eight projects totaling 7 MW that DSD will develop for IKEA stores in Maryland and California. The other arrays are on track to be done this year. In January, DSD closed on a $300 million debt facility financed by Credit Suisse and hinted it will have more deals to announce in the near future. All totaled, the solar carports are expected to generate roughly 10.7 GWh a year. Five of the projects include energy storage systems with a collective capacity of about 5 MWh. In the U.S., the company currently owns 104 wind turbines, two geothermal properties, 240,784 solar panels, and 143 electric vehicle charging stations across 51 properties. In 2020, Ingka Group, a partner in the IKEA franchise system, committed more than $700 million into companies, solutions, and its own operations to move to a net-zero carbon economy. As part of that effort, Ingka Group invested in two solar parks totaling 403 MW of capacity in Utah and Texas. Green Ridge Solar says: We love to see solar carports popping up across the US. There is so much unused space in parking lots, and huge swaths of heat-generating tarmac that is just sitting there. Solar carports are the perfect solution! Generate electricity, reduce heating, AND protect vehicles. Win, win, win!
