A man named Cotton is said to have invented the knitting machine, but the only knitting machines I ever knew about used wool to make socks. There was a crank to turn, once you got the thing set up and ready to go, and as long as you turned the crank and supplied the wool the machine would keep going on the straightaway. The cook's wife at Chesuncook Dam boomhouse had a knitting machine on the wall of the hallway, and every woodsman coming in to eat would give the thing a few cranks. That's how-come they had a sock at Chesuncook Dam that was 37 feet long. But the knitting machine couldn't ``cast on,'' ``turn the heel,'' and ``finish off.'' In that respect it was just like Uncle Fudgy Coombs.
When Uncle Fudgy had to retire time was heavy on his hands and he began to be something of a nuisance. His loving daughter, Geraldine Farrar Coombs Lovejoy, accordingly taught him to knit as a way to pass the time, and he would sit in the rocking chair by the kitchen window as happy as could be, clicking the needles for fair. But Uncle Fudgy, capable as he was on the straight stuff, never mastered casting on, turning the heel, and narrering-off. His daughter wrapped butter in the butter factory, so wasn't always at hand or in the mood to do these things when Uncle Fudgy needed her.
So Uncle Fudgy made arrangements with the Widow MacIver over on the Blueberry Road, and they set up a business that proved profitable as well as saving their idle hands from mischief. To get this business off the ground, Uncle Fudgy het up the shop stove and spent most of the winter making knitting needles from straight-grained maple he found in the woodpile. He had a slew of them. In the spring he took them to the Widow MacIver and they came to terms.
She would cast on and knit one row, and then put the needles in one of two big-size potato picking ``barskits.'' Uncle Fudgy would carry the basket home and knit the sock down to the row where the heel was to be turned. He'd carry the basket to the Widow MacIver, who had meantime cast on another basketful.
Then she would turn all the heels, and after Uncle Fudgy did the feet she would narrer-off. This went on for years, and a common sight was to see Uncle Fudgy trudging over to the Blueberry Road with a basket. Purely business, too - the Widow MacIver never let Uncle Fudgy in her house, and when she came to the door to find him on the doorstep with a basket, he would lift his hat.
Farmers in that whole township sent their fleeces to the Sheehey Woolen Mill and sold their yarn to Uncle Fudgy for better money than they could get any place else. Then L.L. Bean would buy every sock they turned out, and Uncle Fudgy and the Widow MacIver split the profits down the middle.
But this lift to the economy was by no means the best part. The best part was having something to do with their hands, to hold boredom at bay and cheat the time, and not only were Uncle Fudgy and the Widow MacIver cheerful, but their children and grandchildren had no cares and worries about them. Solomon Coombs, one of Uncle Fudgy's grandsons, said one time that he realized money isn't everything, but even so Grampy Fudgy was making more money than he was - and he was a welder at Bath Iron Works. After taxes and union dues, this may have been so.
Then the Ladies' Garment Workers brought a class action against the competition of home industry, and this put Uncle Fudgy and the Widow MacIver out of business. Some 37 ``counts'' were listed in the suit, and Uncle Fudgy and the Widow MacIver were taking food out of the mouths of honest working people and undermining the foundations of the Republic. The Supreme Court had just ruled that yellow tennis balls are not unconstitutional, and so was ready for this one - citing this precedent the justices found against Uncle Fudgy and the Widow MacIver. They had to quit. L.L. Bean then found that nobody amongst the lady garment workers knew how to knit socks, and things were certainly in a pucker.
Thus the knitting machine such as the cook's wife had at Chesuncook Dam became a nefarious instrument of subversive interests, used in clandestine fashion to put the economy on the blink and encourage the communists. Ladies who arranged to have one to hang on their walls and add a few cents to their pin money were enemies of democracy and worse, and people who couldn't cast on, turn a heel, and narrer-down looked upon them in disfavor and disdain. Tension was encouraged, and the country hasn't been the same since.

How big was she? Or...how big did she appear to be?
"Is that a snake in your bra or ...SNAKE!"
Drugs are for people who can't handle snakes.
"Dorota" is Polish for "Eve".
Pythons -- the latest in 18 hour support.
It's a full-grown Ball Python, which is no threat to anything bigger than a small rat. They love to soak up your body warmth. If it was in a bra, it would be curled up in a ball, so one cup would be noticeably larger -- unless there were two of them, in which case the Polish police are in for another surprise.
Lucky snake. Found a warm place to wrap around.
If I had been that woman the story would have read a little differently. In fact it would have said that a dead woman was found with a snake coming out of her bra because that is the only way one of those would get that close to me.
Can I get some of what Ms. Bumsteaqd is smoking?
I love the sideline ad for "Bravissimo... get your D-KK cup lingerie here"
I think its a garter snake with a bad sense of direction.
Snake: A serpent of the oviparous kind, distinguished from the viper. The snake's bite is harmless. Snake in poetry is a general name for a viper.
Oh, wait, I thought you said Samuel Johnson.
I do believe it is one of our fundemental rights to keep and bare snakes in our bra. Having said that, I will now exercise my right to shudder.
Maybe it was a black mambra.
Victoria's Secret Snake Pit. WonderBoa.

Bitter cold and blizzards are in the rearview mirror for most parts of the country, and that’s good news for drivers. If the clear streets and brighter, warmer days make you want to hit the road in a new set of wheels this spring, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve selected well-ranked cars, trucks, and SUVs that haven’t been selling well lately. However, each of these slow-selling vehicles earn good scores in our U.S. News new car rankings, so you can be sure they offer high quality in addition to good value.
Slow demand means you’re more likely to find generous financing incentives and lease deals, and you’ll have a stronger position to negotiate a price below sticker at the dealership. If you don’t want to haggle on-site, the U.S. News Best Price Program can be an excellent tool for negotiation, giving you locked-in pricing on most new vehicles.
Vehicle scores are constantly updated on our rankings pages based on the latest expert reviews and data, so the scores seen here may vary slightly from the ones in our rankings and reviews. The same can be said about regional deals, so it’s always a good idea to check with your local dealership to see what’s available in your area.
Read on to see the best cars to buy this spring.

In mid-1987, leading to the Democratic nomination of its 1988 Presidential candidate, Gary Hart was poised as the solid, impressive front runner. Director Jason Reitman takes that designation as the title for "The Front Runner," an even-handed dramatization of watershed moments in media coverage of candidates; for during reporters' unprecedented pursuit of Hart's private life, the landscape shifted forevermore.
Based on Matt Bai's 2014 book "All the Truth Is Out: The Week Politics Went Tabloid," Bai, political strategist Jay Carson, and director Reitman heavily researched every detail of the ruinous May 1987, Miami Herald exposé of Hart's alleged affair with Donna Rice. Verisimilitude extended to background minutia and even to extras working the phones, saying exactly what was said to encourage voters to vote for Hart. More importantly, hours of conversations among the writers, Reitman and Hugh Jackman, who plays Hart to perfection, explored the character of this complex, enigmatic man. There are good/evil dichotomies here, but (as Reitman, Jackman, Bai and Carson discussed after their premiere screening at the Telluride Film Festival where I first saw the film) it's the shades of gray that dominate.
Significantly, Hart's last speech in the film is word for word as delivered. It remains immensely moving, even unnerving in today's environment, though no histrionics accompany any of these historical moments. In fact, none of the sensationalistic photos appear. Instead, Reitman immerses us in the 1980s campaign, cinematographer Eric Steelberg shooting with equipment available then in the period style. We're there, captured in the moment. Similarly, avoiding the temptation to overplay emotion with elaborate musical accompaniment, Rob Simonsen perfectly matches the undemonstrative drama with a minimalist piano score. Less is more.
Scenes ricochet from campaign planes to hotel rooms, campaign headquarters to newspaper offices. Twenty main characters merge perfectly: in addition to Hugh Jackman as Hart in what must be an Oscar-nominated performance, there's Vera Farmiga as Gary's wife Lee, J.K. Simmons as campaign manager Bill Dixon, Sara Paxton as Donna Rice, and Alfred Molina as Ben Bradlee, as always debating the ethical route. "The Front Runner" is brilliant and engrossing on its own terms. With its unmistakable relevance, it's downright disturbing.

Shigeo believed that children’s books are the bridge across people. He was always proud of being a member of IBBY, particularly for being involved in establishing JBBY in the early 1980s. What he treasured most was friendship he developed through IBBY across cultural, linguistic and political boundaries.
Shigeo began his career in children’s literature as librarian in post World War II Japan in his hometown, Shizuoka. In mid 1950s he worked for two years at New York Public Library, followed by twenty years as a professor of library science at Keio University in Tokyo. During fifty years of his career as a writer-translator of children’s books, Shigeo left many significant works, including How do I put it on (Bodley Head) and Jeepta, the little fire engine (Fukuinkan). He also introduced to Japanese children hundreds of works created by major American, Western, Asian and African authors and illustrators, including the books done by Dr Seuss, Robert McCloskey, Hardie Gramatky, Lois Lensky, Margery Sharp and Girma Belachew.
Shigeo will be remembered as a kind, gentle father, husband, grandfather and friend. He always had a good sense of humor and interesting stories to tell. Shigeo died in Tokyo after battling an illness (cerebral infarction) for fourteen months. He was seventy-eight years old. He is survived by his wife Kuniko (his first wife Kazue passed away in 1991), three sons Tetsuta, Mitsuya, and Kota, also four grandchildren, Coco, Nanaho, Masato and Ringoro.

In this session, with the presence also of Non-Governmental Organizations to assist with our discussions, I thought of suggesting some principles which we should enforce with regard to aid and assistance. This should be done following consultation of the NGOs which work here.
The suggestions are based on the assumption that the impact of Aid projects, like every other initiative, must be measurable, the process of decision making must involve consultation of beneficiaries and local communities as relevant, and there should be accountability to these latter as well as to concerned government agencies. It is also essential to note that Aid projects should be cost effective. This might seem obvious, but it is rarely a criterion on which projects are assessed.
17. The effectiveness of aid is reduced when there are too many duplicating initiatives, especially at country and sector levels. We will reduce the fragmentation of aid by improving the complementarity of donors’ efforts and the division of labour among donors, including through improved allocation of resources within sectors, within countries, and across countries.
c) Donors will promote the use of local and regional procurement by ensuring that their procurement procedures are transparent and allow local and regional firms to compete.

Our Universe is unfathomably large - billions of years old, billions of light-years across, and filled with hundreds of billion of galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars and planets. It often is beyond the reach of our instruments and our minds. Nonetheless, driven by curiosity, each year we make discoveries that expand our view of it, surprise us and help us to understand our place within it.
The big event of 2017 was the collision of two neutron stars in a relatively nearby galaxy, 140 million light years away. Such events are commonplace, happening many times a day, yet this was one was special because for the first time, the National Science Foundation's Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detected tiny ripples in the fabric of space-time that the cataclysmic event created. LIGO alerted astronomers, and GW170817 became the most well-studied astrophysical event, viewed with radio, infrared, visible, x-ray and gamma-ray "eyes."
Here is but one thing we learned: most, if not all, of the heaviest elements in the periodic table, e.g., gold and platinum, were made by colliding neutron stars.
Of course, LIGO thrilled us in 2016 with its announcement that it had detected gravitational waves from colliding black holes; this past December, three American scientists (Barry Barish and Kip Thorne of Caltech, and Rainer Weiss of MIT) were honored with the Nobel Prize for that discovery.
Closer to home, in October we were surprised by the first interstellar asteroid ever seen. We are used to asteroids - debris left over from the formation of our solar system - visiting us. In fact, the PanSTARRS1 telescope on Haleakala that discovered Oumuamua (for "scout"), as it is now officially known, searches for near-Earth objects that are potentially Earth-threatening. Oumuamua is not bound to our sun; it flew in from the direction of the Lyra constellation, passed between Mercury and the sun, and flew out again in the direction of the Pegasus constellation.
As large as an aircraft carrier and similarly shaped, Oumuamua reminded us that we are connected to the rest of the cosmos. Our solar system likely has shed asteroids and even planets that have flown by other stars with planets, and four NASA spacecraft - Pioneers 10 and 11 and Voyagers 1 and 2 - have left our solar system. The Voyagers carry the Golden Record of sounds recorded from Earth that Carl Sagan and his team put together to introduce us to the larger Universe.
It has been more than 20 years since we discovered the first exoplanets (planets orbiting around other stars). NASA's Kepler satellite has been the exoplanet workhorse, having discovered more than 4,000 exoplanets and 600 planetary systems. Astronomers have identified around 10 exoplanets in the habitable zone. Last year's big news was the discovery of the TRAPPIST 1 system, seven terrestrial-like planets orbiting a red dwarf star about 40 light years away. Five of the seven planets are similar in size to Earth and three are in the habitable zone, the sweet spot where liquid water - and hopefully life - can exist. We are well on our way to answering a very big question: Are we alone?
Moving to the far reaches of the Universe, the most distant quasar seen yet was discovered last year. The light we see began the journey to us when the Universe was only about 700 million years old. It presents us with a mystery: How did the billion-solar-mass black hole that powers this quasar form so early in the history of the Universe? (All galaxies, including our Milky Way, have massive black holes at their centers and go through an early "quasar phase" when their black holes shine brightly because of infalling matter.) LIGO and other gravitational-wave detectors coming on line in the future should shed light on this question.
While the great American eclipse of 2017 was not a surprise and did not lead to any startling discoveries, millions of Americans including me - were awed by it as the path of totality traversed the United States from Oregon to Georgia. In this amazing natural phenomenon, the moon nicely fits over the sun and blocks its light, allowing us to look directly at the sun without being blinded and view its - beautiful corona.
The corona of the sun is much hotter (millions of degrees) and wispier than its surface, extending many solar radii beyond the disk of the sun. The corona is responsible for much of the sun's activity that impacts our planet, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections, and how the corona works is still a mystery. Later this year, NASA will launch the Parker Solar Probe, which will orbit the sun on a highly elliptical path that will take it inside the sun's corona - really! - more than 20 times to make measurements that could solve some of mysteries of the corona.
Science is now a global activity that the United States no longer dominates. But as these discoveries illustrate, we continue to lead. Our success has involved three critical elements: thinking bold, throwing deep and sticking with it.
The LIGO Nobel Laureates were bold enough to think that you could detect a change in distance of one-thousandth the size of a proton between two mirrors separated by four kilometers. The NSF threw deep when it invested close to $1 billion over 25 years to build LIGO. And NASA stuck with it when Hubble had initial mirror problems, and more recently when it found a work-around to keep Kepler producing science after two gyros failed at the end of its four-year planned mission.
Certainly, cosmic discoveries help us to understand our place in the Universe, but they also inspire and awe us, young and old.

Are Chongqing 'bang bang' porters a disappearing job?
In the local dialect of Chongqing, porters with ropes and bamboo poles are called bang bang. They are a distinctive group known for helping residents carry heavy items in the mountainous port city along the Yangtze River.
It is estimated that the number of bang bang and their "army of poles" reached half a million when rural labor flocked to the city decades ago, but their numbers are shrinking quickly due to economic development and urbanization, according to the Chongqing Academy of Social Sciences.
This week, the oldest bang bang, the 74-year-old Tang Yongbo, decided to retire and go back to his hometown in Suining, Sichuan province.
Tang has worked for 15 years in Chongqing, mostly at the Chongqing Caiyuanba Railway Station.
"The number of bang bang is declining very fast in recent years," said He Changlin, the director of a 13-episode documentary The Last One. In 2014, to record the life of these porters, he spent a year living and working as a bang bang in Chongqing.
"Now it is estimated that only about 10,000 bang bang remain in Chongqing. Maybe the city doesn't need them anymore."

The biological activity of marine microbes constitutes a significant fraction in the cycling of essential nutrients throughout the global oceans.
Spatio-temporal variations in nutrient distribution in the surface waters influence the adaptive strategies that microbes employ for their energy requirements. My research focuses on the application of high-resolution atomic force microscopy to marine microbial ecology for elucidating microbial interactions with colloidal dissolved organic matter and their ecological context.
Coordinated activity of ion channels and receptors controls synaptic transmission underlying normal brain activity and pathologies, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson Diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to know how the molecular scale structures of proteins and protein complexes respond to external stimuli. Importantly, the activity of proteins at multiple locations along a signal transmission pathway needs to be studied simultaneously to better elucidate their role in in the brain functioning.
We are developing a new array-atomic force microscope (AFM-array) consisting of multifunctional cantilever array with independent sensors and actuators. The new AFM-array will enable 1) multipoint simultaneously imaging the synaptic network at the scales of its organization, namely, nano-to-macro scale, 2) measuring localized electrical and chemical activity, and 3) interfacing with animal and human subjects.
I am developing a biosensor for detecting multiple suspected biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease simultaneously. Such a biosensor could be used to pin down the best way to detect the development of Alzheimer's Disease while also discovering its true cause. To accomplish this goal, I am integrating optical components into microelectromechanical systems(MEMS). This will make the device capable of total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy.
Magnetic nanocarriers have multiple applications in drug delivery, for example, hyperthermia, controlled release, localization in target tissue and increased retention and increased uptake in endothelial cells. However, a multitude of factors and variables go into guiding nanocarriers with external magnetic fields. For delivery via systemic administration, nanocarriers not only have to be compatible with all the various tissues in the body, but also have to be able to overcome all physiological barriers. This calls for a systematic study of their transport under a magnetic field and fluid flow in various physical and chemical environments. I have been working on designing assays to conduct these studies.Over the course of many months, these assays have evolved into simple microfluidic systems interfaced with detection on an optical microscope.
MEMS Biosensor: Mathematical modeling of electromechanical transduction process in resonant MEMS mass sensor. I am working on developing a Finite Element Model for understanding the resonant behavior of the MEMS biosensor.
Design, Analysis and optimization of diffration gratings used in MEMS biosensors: Understanding the process of light propagation through the diffraction grating and coupling to the waveguide modes using Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA).

An engineering marvel with three galleries embedded at different elevations, Nagarjunasagar withstands the pressure of the water it contains, by its sheer weight. Even after 50 years of existence, its performance is astounding. All its safety parameters like uplift pressure, stress, deflection and tilt are found to be within the safe limits by the 206 gadgets that work round the clock.
The dam cheats the naked eye by tilting forward by a fraction of an inch during heavy floods but swings back to normal position. During the recent floods, the spillway discharged an enormous quantity of seven lakh cusecs, still four lakh cusecs short of its designed capacity.
It were the Nizams who originally proposed the dam at the present site, then tiger-infested forests, naming it as “Nandikonda” project after two villages Nandi and Konda which were to be submerged in the reservoir later. When the new state of A.P. took over the project, it was re-christened after Acharya Nagarjuna, Buddhist sage who lived in the Nandikonda valley centuries ago running a university on a riverbank, now called Anupu.

A funny detail by the way: on the table left is a cd from K3, a Flemish girlband, laying between the other torture devices.
Lara was meant to have the braid but they changed it to a pony tail!

Signs of Spring 11: Invaders All Around Us!
Deborah and I have been out hiking on quite a few woodland trails this spring. One of the generalized observations we have made concerns the preponderance of alien, invasive plant species that make their ecological presence known long before most of the native species. Early leafing and early flowering are excellent strategies for an invasive plant to gain a “foothold” in our deciduous forest ecosystems. Add the ability to make abundant seeds and an absence of co-evolved biological controls and these exotic, invasive plant species can truly come to dominate an ecosystem!
Most of the trails we have been walking on have been lined by multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora). Multiflora rose is one of the first understory plants to sprout leaves in the early spring, and its fresh leafed appearance makes entire wooded hillsides glow green. I had mentioned previously seeing this plant’s just unfolding leaf buds out at Harrison Hills Park a few weeks ago. This is time of year to appreciate how much multiflora rose there is in our Western Pennsylvania ecosystems! Unfortunately, the story about this plant is both good and bad. It is an extremely aggressive and rapidly growing exotic invasive (from Asia, brought to this country as an ornamental plant) that has choked out many native plant species. It also, though, generates very favorable habitats for many species of small mammals and birds.
I have a large, dome-shaped multiflora rose thicket down at the far end of my field. I remember consciously mowing around a spindly rose stem twenty-five years ago and watching over the next decade as the multiflora rose spread and grew into a eight feet high and twenty feet diameter thicket. There is a large woodchuck burrow in the middle of this thicket and almost always a rabbit or two hiding out in the low tangles of thorny branches. Cardinals and house finches perch and nest in the upper branches. Nothing is growing under the thicket, though. The constant spring and summer shading prevents the survival of any other plants.
Small low growing leaves of garlic mustard (another invasive plant brought in from Europe) dot almost every forest floor we walk past. Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is also an “early riser” in the spring and is also doing a great deal of damage to native plant species. Along with its ability to make abundant seeds and grow in a wide variety of soil and habitat conditions, garlic mustard also releases poisonous, allelopathic chemicals that negatively affect the soil fungi (“mycorrhizal fungi”) upon which most trees and many other plants depend for nutrient absorption. It has also been noted that white-tailed deer seldom feed on garlic mustard (but, as we know, they do eat almost everything else!). The expansion of this alien plant species has been extensive and rapid.
Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is not a particularly early spring sprouter, but its tall, dry stalks dominate sections of trails that are near roads or rivers or railroad tracks. Under these dense, old stalks we are just now, almost exclusively seeing new, green sprouts of knotweed. Almost no other plant species are able to grow in these thickets. Knotweed has an amazing ability to spread vegetatively. The tiniest piece of a stalk or leaf is able to grow into a new plant. When I see trail workers in the summer using power trimmers to cut down knotweed, all I can think of is that they are broadcasting new propagules of the species far and wide along the trails.
We have also mentioned several other alien plants in a much more positive, “signs of spring-like” sense. Forsythia (Forsythia suspensa) is a species from China that has been widely planted in European and American gardens. It has also “escaped” into the wild and has formed dense thickets of feral plants. Daffodils (Narcissus spp.) are native plants of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. They have been widely bred and planted throughout North America and have also “escaped” into wild habitats. Both of these plant species are beautiful harbingers of the spring season, but we have to remember that they are exotic invaders!
There is such a long list of these exotic flowers, shrubs and trees! Dandelions, privet, tree of heaven, burning bush, Norway maple, poison hemlock, Queen Anne’s lace, English ivy, several honeysuckles, Russian olive, and Kudzu are just a few of the better known species. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that there are 50,000 non-native species in the United States and that over 4000 of these are dangerous invasives!
Are alien species always “bad?” The impacts of many exotics would suggest so. The loss of less aggressive or less fecund native species that are unable to compete with these very robust invaders is a serious blow to local biodiversity and may have extensive, reverberating impacts throughout an affected ecosystem. There are suggestions, though, that in some cases and in some ecosystems alien species may actually increase the biodiversity and “quality” of an ecosystem. It is very logical that the answer to the question about the impacts of invasive species should not be as simple as we once thought. Many animals, as we saw above, use multiflora rose thickets for protective habitats, many birds eat honeysuckle berries, and the honey made in the fall from knotweed nectar and pollen is dark and delicious!
In his book “1493,” Charles Mann visualizes the European discovery of the New World as a moment that began the reversal of the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea that occurred some 250 million years before. The human generated movement of plant and animal species, both domesticated and agriculturally focused and also wild and uncontrolled, between the now widely separated continents is generating an increasingly homogenous Earth-wide biome dominated by a small set of aggressive, generalist species. Mann even defines this as a new geological epoch, the Homogenocene. Invasive species, then, may be the defining features of our future world.

The Mac maker's brand carries premium pricing power.
Want to hear me say it? Fine. "The iPhone is too expensive."
On one hand, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer was right when he told CNBC -- pardon my paraphrasing -- that consumers don't want to pay $500 for a mobile phone. On the other, the iPhone isn't your average mobile phone.
I've found legitimate arguments against Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) pricing policy for the iPhone from bloggers such as Paul Callahan. He writes that Palm's (NASDAQ:PALM) Treo smartphones are capable of hosting enterprise applications that would allow you to stay in tune with the corporate network anywhere you are. There's no evidence -- yet -- that the iPhone will do the same.
Fair enough. Yet I'm still unconvinced that the Mac daddy has somehow goofed on pricing. Apple, unlike any other consumer electronics brand short of Bose, has implied permission to price its wares at a premium.
Remember the iPod mini? Instead of pricing the player at $199, as analysts and all of us Fools expected, CEO Steve Jobs and his team settled on $249. What happened? We bought anyway. And when the iPod nano debuted in September of 2005 with similar pricing? We bought anyway.
Why, then, is anyone surprised that Apple is demanding a premium for the iPhone? History says it would. And history further says that we'll buy. And buy. And buy. And buy. That's why Apple yesterday reported a 77% boost in first-quarter net profit.
Besides, the iPhone introduces innovations that make the Treo and Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry look lightweight. Take visual voice mail. Instead of requiring you to dial a number and listen to your voice messages in order, the iPhone shows you who has called and left messages. Like email, you choose what to listen to. Doesn't that feature, for which Apple is seeking a patent, deserve some premium?
Of course it does. Nevertheless, there's an excellent chance that you'll be able to buy an iPhone for less than $500. History says that, too. For example, Apple's iPod nano sells for as little as $149 today.
What's more, research from iSuppli shows that the iPhone, if built with common components, could sport close to a 50% margin. That's astounding. If true, Apple could profitably make deals to sweeten the appeal of the iPhone for carriers like Deutsche Telekom's (NYSE:DT) T-Mobile and Verizon (NYSE:VZ). That, in turn, would go a long way towards juicing Apple's sales numbers.
Is the iPhone expensive? Yes. But is that a mistake? No way. Instead, it's a deliberate strategy that, if history serves, is likely to do precisely nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of Mac addicts, who have the June release date for the iPhone already circled on their calendars.
The iPhone is no longer an urban legend.
Look back on Apple's 2006.
Will Steve Jobs survive the backdating scandal? Should he?
Apple is good! No, it's bad! You decide.

The tribe which, from the time of Washington’s visit to the Ohio, in 1753, down to their removal to the West, played so important a part under the name of Wyandots, but who were previously known by a name which French write Tionontates; and Dutch, Dinondadies, have a history not uneventful, and worthy of being traced clearly to distinguish them from the Hurons or Wyandots proper, of whom they absorbed one remnant, leaving what were later only a few families near Quebec, to represent the more powerful nation.
The utter incompetency of the officers commanding this expedition may be judged from the single fact that a great number of women were allowed to accompany the troops into a wilderness known to be infested with the worst kind of savages. There were about 250 of these women with the “army” on the day of the battle. Of these, 56 were killed on the spot, many being pinned to the earth by stakes driven through their bodies. Few of the others escaped captivity.
After this unprecedented victory, the Indians became more troublesome than ever along the frontier. No settler’s home was safe, and many were destroyed in the year of terror that followed. The awful fate of one of those households is told in the following touching narrative of Mercy Harbison, wife of one of the survivors of St. Clair’s defeat. How two of her little children were slaughtered before her eyes, how she was dragged through the wilderness with a babe at her breast, how cruelly maltreated, and how she finally escaped, barefooted and carrying her infant through days and nights of almost superhuman exertion, she has left record in a deposition before the magistrates at Pittsburgh and in the statement here reprinted.
During the War of 1812 a series of battles took place in the Northwest between the British and American forces and their respective Indian allies. This series of battles helped determine the control over the Wabash Valley and along with the Naval victories secured the Northwest for the Americans.

Last month the BBC reported on the increase in the numbers of elderly Japanese being imprisoned. The biggest spike is among elderly women. One 68-year-old serving her fifth jail term - this time for stealing fruit - tells 100 Women why she did it.
I was jailed for the first time when I was 53 years old. I think I stole a bag. My prison term this time is two years. It's not that I'm shoplifting all the time - I steal when I feel cornered. The first time I did it because there were tensions at home. One of my children wasn't going to school and I was feeling annoyed.
Another time I was blackmailed by another prisoner who said she would tell everyone I had a criminal record unless I shoplifted again. I think she saw my address when I received letters. I didn't want her to tell everyone so I did it.
This time I shoplifted fruit because I have diabetes and I love sweet things, and I couldn't stop myself. The type of fruit I took [grapes] was something I couldn't afford to buy.
But I was also stressed because my son is living at home with us with his child after his marriage broke down, and hasn't got a job. I shoplifted after we argued. It's hard. He gets bored quickly and left his job. I told him we didn't need a lazy person in the house.
There are many people here who committed crimes because they didn't get along with their children. They feel lonely. The children have their own life, and they have no time to care for their parents.
I don't want to shoplift again. I want to be strong, not to respond if threatened, and I will be patient about sweet things. I definitely don't want to come back here. I'm old, and it's hard to live here. I can't keep up with everything.
My husband says what's done is done. He says he's sorry that he didn't understand me. He was injured while I was in here so I want to take care of him when I return home. Young people are having a hard time in Japan but I hope they take care of their parents. Otherwise it will create loneliness.
For many inmates who have shoplifted, it was not that they didn't have any food to eat, but they wanted to save their money because the food was just there to take. I see the prisoners' profiles when they first join the prison workplace, and often they have stolen just one rice ball, or a few items of food which cost about 1,000 yen (£7).
I'm in charge of a workplace that looks after repeat offenders, and they have been abandoned by their family. They are lonely and isolated. In prison they have food, clothing and shelter, and they might have an acquaintance or friend here. They feel more secure inside prison than outside in society.
When they got out of jail they said they would never want to come back but once they were out, because they had a criminal record and were older than 60, they didn't have many relatives to depend on, no friends, and wondered how they could live their lives. So they shoplifted again. I'm concerned that people like that will increase.

What to do with all of these tomatoes that won’ t turn red? I’ve looked on the internet for some inspiration though I’m not the biggest fan of chutney and wanted to do something with the ingredients that I already had so I made a really tasty soup, I find soup a great way to use up leftovers and it’s great for freezing for mid-week lunches for ‘T’ and I with some home made bread. The courgetter used was grown by my husband’s colleague, the tomatoes from our garden and the chicken stock was in the freezer from a roast that I made a couple of weeks ago.
Add the chopped onion to a pan containint melted butter, cook until softened then add the rest of the vegetables and cook for a few minutes. Cover with stock and bubble away until all veg is tender and blitz with a blender.

All of the tadpoles died a couple of weeks ago, it looks as though a slug fell into the water and took all the oxygen, it was also a very hot few days which doesn’t help with the oxygen in the water, very sad as they were doing so well!
My potatoes have miserably failed this year – the picture is the whole lot out of 2 batches planted – shameful!
We hardly ever use the washable nappies anymore – they seem to stretch all of little T’s clothes, and as I sell most of her clothes on ebay(or give them to chariy) once she has outgrown them, it seems silly to ruin them all. I haven’t given up on them completley as I really don’t like using the disposables but I’m yet to find a solution!
I sometimes struggle to find things to do at the weekend on a very tight budget and we are often wondering where to go on a rainy day, picnics and playing in the sun is great, though we’re sometimes stumped by a miserable day.
Our only yellow tomato plant has completley died, so no yellow tomatoes this year.
I am very bad at starting things and then getting impatient and finishing them in a hurry, hence why this blog could do with a bit of a tidy up!
I keep forgetting to bake bread recently so keep buying shop-bought bread. A habit that I need to get out of.
On the way back from a local farm visit with T, my husband and my mother-in-law, our car decided to stop working whilst we were doing 60mph along the dual carriageway. We had a lucky escape as no accident or anything, but it was a stressful few hours waiting to be towed back home and then arranging a new car and the old car to be taken away, all done in under 3 days but a stressful time all the same!
Little ‘T’ is still not the best sleeper and it’s begining to take it’s toll on us now, ok so I can hardly complain as she currently sleeps from 12.30 until 2.30 pm and then is in bed at 7pm without a fuss and gets up at 7am, but all the same she wakes most nights for a little chat to herself or a slight moan but then I’m wide awake and can’t get back to sleep so I’m not feeling very rested at the moment!
We are bored of colds and hayfever now too, it seems that as ‘T’ is growing those big back teeth she seems to pick up all the little germs and passes them on to us, I’m sure it’s the same for most parents, but just another ‘moan’ to add to the list!!
Anyway, I think that’s about enough, not very cheery writing all that but wanted to share some of the daily grinds in our house at the moment to keep this place ‘real’! Right, more washing up to do, a quick sweep of the floor and then cook dinner for my husband and step-son now that ‘T’ is tucked up in bed!

After a crazy weekend it was good getting back to “normal”.
Not that I have any concept of what normal is – I guess I mean a routine – Not a routine (life is too crazy) … Okay the start of a new week! Maybe not the start that would’ve been Monday (sigh).
Never mind. Today started with an old thing Yoga – I used to be quite diligent about practicing and I got away from it – Not sure why? My shoulder has been bothering me and yoga seemed to have helped me with a similar issue in the past so I’ve returned. I use the yoga studio app on my iPhone. Today I decided to do the thirty minute beginner flexibility routine, it tuned out to be thirty minutes of inflexibility! Why do I do this stop doing something that I enjoy and benefits me then lose most of what I gained and start again!
It felt good to be doing something positive, although I’m sure my disgust at how much flexibility I’d lost didn’t help the spiritual part of the yoga practice… Hopefully I can maintain the little momentum I gained today and make it part of my regime – I can certainly benefit from it!
The new thing was nothing earth shattering it was a new sandwich combination from the Bee Hive in Bristol, a delicious butternut squash sandwich! If you’re ever in the area I recommend the food and the cafe. What made the lunch extra special was sharing time with a dear friend. One of the “Things” I’m becoming aware of on this mini quest of mine is what’s important, like appreciating Yoga and old friendships, which make new discoveries like a good sandwich all the more enjoyable!
Now 57 new things left to discover, but remember don’t give up something you enjoy doing and if you’ve drifted from it get back to it! Then go to lunch with an old friend somewhere new or try something new!
Today is my birthday, officially at 10:03pm EDT I will be 59!
There I wrote it without crying or laughing; so I must be okay with it, right?
Today was a good day, it started with a New guided meditation from my Insight Timer App (I highly recommend the app for those of you interested in pursuing meditation). The mediation was followed by a phone call from my mom (age 82) who sang happy birthday to me, something I look forward to, and will miss when it ends… After visiting my mother and stepfather, I had a lovely cappuccino and a scone for breakfast which I enjoyed by the bay. I treated my self to my favorite foods; a peanut butter sandwich on a fresh baked roll for lunch and a vanilla cream donut for dinner!
I know none of these are life changing events or might not be blog worthy, but I didn’t promise that – I’m going to be trying for 60 new things now 58 new things… Some will be more exciting and challenging, but every journey starts with a first step and those were my first two! I’ve learned some key things today, one looking for new things makes me more aware of what I have and I’m more open to noticing and appreciating.
The best things about today, is my birthday song from my mom, my diabetic cat feeling well enough to snuggle with me and the gift of a stuffed bunny I call Zo from a 5 year old boy, those are gifts of the heart and there’s nothing better not peanut butter or vanilla cream donuts!
I’m going to be 59! How did that happen? I wish I was paying better attention.
Life is like a familiar car ride, you ride along in a comfortable haze, missing everything going on around you until you’re forced to slam on the breaks and wake up. That’s precisely what’s happened to me! I just slammed on the breaks. Why? Because in a year from now I will be turning 60 years old, I’m not freaking out about the age, I just can’t figure out how I arrived here? After all my mother was just 60 (23 years ago) – My father didn’t even reach 60 – I knew he died young, but I’m just realizing HOW YOUNG!
It’s precisely for those reasons I’m going to be trying, learning, doing 60 new things during this up coming year and blogging those experiences here. This way I will be paying attention to what’s going on and I’ll be able to recall and relive my ride on the way to 60.
So sit back put your tray tables in the upright position and buckle up for a hell of a ride!

NOTE: I was just informed that I had the incorrect file linked above. I’ll try to fix it tonight.
I wasn’t planning a post tonight, but after spending an absolutely lovely Memorial Day hanging with my brother and his family, I came home, logged on and found out that one of the last remaining greats of the Hammond, Jimmy McGriff had passed away at the age of 72.
McGriff, a former police officer was one of the founding fathers of the Philly school of Hammond (a group which included Jimmy Smith, Groove Holmes, Shirley Scott, and later Charles Earland) who first hit it big in 1962 with his cover of Ray Charles’ ‘I Got a Woman’, and shortly after that with the blinding swing of ‘All About My Girl’.
McGriff – in a career that spanned more than 50 years – recorded for Sue, Solid State, Capitol, Blue Note, Groove Merchant and Milestone, recording his final album a few years ago.
McGriff, unlike some of his contemporaries, was able to play hard charging R&B, soul jazz and funk with equal facility, leaving behind classics in all of those styles.
The two tracks I’m posting this evening appeared over the last few years in a couple of Hammond-centric episodes of the Funky16Corners Radio podcast.
‘A Thing To Come By Pts 1&2’ appeared on the 1969 LP of the same name for Solid State.
‘Fat Cakes’ is ripped from a Capitol 45 and originally appeared on his 1971 ‘Soul Sugar’ LP.
They are both prime examples of McGriff’s funky mid-period work, and stand as a testament to why Hammond fiends like me hold him in such high esteem.
He was truly one of the greatest, and will be missed.
PS Don’t forget to head over to Fleamarket Funk to check out my guest mix!

No better tribute than to keep the music playing – thanks Larry.
I saw Jimmy McGriff 20 years ago at the Hardman House in Liverpool, a weird hotel ballroom that spent a good few years as quite a leftfield gig and club venue. Needless to say, the heat from that stage was like bathing in desert sand. RIP.
I believe McGriff also recorded for Jell, because I have two 45s by him on that label. One of them, “Chip!! Chip!!,” is a smoker.
You are correct. ‘I Got a Woman’ was originally released on Jell and picked up for national distribution by Sue.
anyone knows who’s on the drums in ·a thing to come by·?
just uploaded some cisco kid tracks, one of which is an eric burdon & war’s cover by another hammond monster: reuben wilson. obviously, we stole it from funky16.
The drummer was Jesse Kilpatrick.
Dirty shame. Jimmy was mean on the hammond. One of the first cats I go into when I first started diggin.
The Bird has always been a favorite of mine. we’ll miss ya Jimmy.
WOW, YOUR SITE IS FREAKIN’ GREAT, I LOVE THE MUSIK, YOU RULE!!!
In groove we trust . . .
P.S.: Can I e-mail you about something on the side? Send me quick one at the address I’ve provided, thanks again.
Thanks for the heads up. I uploaded an old file (which must have been tagged incorrectly) from an old mix. I’ll try to fix it tonight.

Time to kill the kittens.
Their mewing blends with the meadowlark song.
Caroline Slater, a retired California professor who worked for decades in multicultural education, made news recently by acting to right a historic wrong. She gave $250,000 to the Ute Indian Tribe in Utah in an attempt to compensate for land belonging to the tribe near Craig, Colorado, that was stolen by white settlers in 1881. After the Utes were forced at gunpoint to move to Utah, some of the land they’d occupied in Colorado ended up in the hands of Slater’s great grandparents. The property was sold decades later, reports The Associated Press, with the profit going to Slater and her siblings. Now, Slater’s check will help pay for construction of a new tribal high school.

Do you think that Gurgaon has lost sheen in the luxury and ultra-luxury segment?
There has been an overall slowdown in the sector and because of that the general impression is that all segments are facing rough weather. There is no doubt that sales in this segment have been slow in Gurgaon, but as far as the price bands and demand potential is concerned there is no let up here. Gurgaon at present has the third highest per capita income in India and the growth of IT and ITES is also healthy. All of this translates into a demand for luxury and modern lifestyle housing.
The market has already witnessed some correction. Apart from general factors, prices are also dependent on facilities and features provided by the developer. If these facilities/ features meet buyer's requirement then they are ready to even pay premium for it.
What sort of inventory is there in this segment in Gurgaon- apartments, villas or floors or serviced apartments?
The inventory in the luxury segment in Gurgaon includes luxury condominiums, studio apartments to 3/4BHK to triplex penthouses, apartments, villas and serviced apartments. Nowadays, customised homes are also available addressing of the customer needs.
Which are the new pockets in Gurgaon that are coming up as luxury destinations?
Sohna Road has emerged as a prime residential location in the Gurgaon market. What makes this location an ideal destination for residential investment is its excellent connectivity with the emerging commercial hub, Golf Course Extension Road and National Highway 8.
With Manesar and Gurgaon reaching saturation levels for industrial development, there is a huge development on this stretch leading to growth in of residential and commercial developments . Sohna Road undoubtedly enjoys a niche position in the realty market in Gurgaon.
Which are the projects in this segment being developed by your group and what features have been added to make these suit the elite clientele?
Central Park team has introduced the concept of 'Luxury Condominium' known as Central Park I, on the Golf Course Road, Sector 42, Gurgaon. In 2006 we had launched Central Park II Resorts spread over approximately 50 acres and situated in Sector 48, Sohna Road, Gurgaon. While the architectural elements include spacious and eco-friendly habitats with lots of green areas, a lot of attention has been paid to the interiors. Hand-picked furniture, artifacts, motifs, wall art and other decor elements are some of the design elements that have been introduced.
The property will have features like bowling alley, squash courts, basketball court, lawn tennis courts, badminton court pool and snooker, table tennis etc. Moreover, the residents of CP - II resorts can enjoy services like swimming pool with weather temperature controlled feature, reading room, theatre, etc.
Customers with small kids will not face any hurdles in their enjoyment with special crèche and children playing area. Also, the club is providing concierge facilities like House-keeping, Laundry, Food on call, Restaurant, Conveyance, Deep cleaning, Mess service for staff and Guest house.

The conference opening reception, meals, and registration will be held at the Memorial Union. As one of the most beloved and historic destinations on campus, Memorial Union is the place to come socialize, relax, study, eat, and enjoy all the beautiful sunsets and lake views that Madison has to offer. Since opening its doors in 1928, it has offered a variety of social and educational activities for UW students, faculty, Wisconsin Union Members, and the Madison community. Among its many treasures, the building houses a 1,200 seat theater, Strada Italian Cuisine, Carte Soups & Salads, the Daily Scoop Ice Cream, Badger Market, Peet’s Coffee, Der Rathskeller German-Style Tavern, Wheelhouse Studios, Wisconsin Hoofers, various art exhibits, and plentiful study space. Situated on the shores of Lake Mendota, the classic architecture of the building boasts a picturesque lakeside view as well as a terrace with 600 colorful sunburst chairs – the perfect spot for an afternoon snack in the summer.
One of the most cherished parts of the Memorial Union is the Terrace. The Terrace functions as a great place to enjoy a beautiful day, grab a beer with friends or colleagues, sunbathe or swim off the pier, and catch one of Madison’s stunning sunsets. When the Terrace was first envisioned in the fall of 1928, it was thought to serve as a fun meeting place, a sort of “undergraduate playground.” Today, its mission and purpose of being an enjoyable gathering spot for students, parents and alumni continues to improve. After the reopening in early 2016, the Terrace expanded seating, extended grilling, increased shoreline and lakefront views, and added additional food options. During the summer months, the Terrace hosts a “Terrace after Dark” music and film series which is free to the public. For more information on the 2018 lineup, check out union.wisc.edu/events-and-activities/special-events/terrace-after-dark-music-and-film-series/.
Conference Services and the Wisconsin Union strive to promote green conferences and events and ask our conference guests to help us in those efforts.
Wireless Internet access is available to all conference participants. Upon check-in, each participant will receive a login and password which will grant access to the meeting site secure wireless network. The network is available throughout the building, including the Union Theater and outside on the Lakefront Terrace.
In addition to a small computer terminal within the meeting site (1st floor), computer labs are located on either side of the meeting site (http://www.doit.wisc.edu/computerlabs/labs.asp). The computer labs are equipped for printing and copying.
The Hoofer Sailing Club at the Memorial Union offers various sailing packages during your time at the conference. Please visit the Hoofer website for more information.

Jess Thom – Me, My Mouth and I | Take Home a Souvenir!
We are very excited for the release this Saturday on BBC2 at 22:45, Me, My Mouth and I – a new film by Jess Thom exploring neurodiversity in the arts through the works of Samuel Beckett. Artist, activist and performer Jess Thom – has Tourette’s syndrome and is about to take on the biggest creative challenge of her life. In this film Jess takes us on a funny and unpredictable journey of discovery into one of Samuel Beckett’s most complex plays Not I and asks us to reconsider issues of representation and social exclusion as she prepares to perform the role of ‘Mouth’ in front of a live theatre audience.
Jess meets with fellow disabled artists such as activist, comedian and Silent Witness disabled actor Liz Carr, Beckett expert Derval Tubridy as well other people with lived experience of Tourette’s as she uncovers the central themes originally intended by Beckett for this piece. And as a lateral thinker we see her working with UK MC and rapper Rodney P, to learn from his oratory skills as she works to deliver an unforgettable performance.
Jess challenges the perception that only certain works can be performed by and made accessible to disabled audiences and questions the cultural curation that lies behind this assumption. Navigating her way through the practical and attitudinal barriers, she asks us to consider who is allowed to perform what, and who gets the final say.
If you don’t know Jess already Jess Thom, 37, is a performer and the co-founder of Touretteshero, an organisation that seeks to raise awareness about Tourette syndrome and campaigns for a more inclusive society. Born in London, Thom was formally diagnosed with the condition in her early 20s and exhibits both vocal and motor tics (her frequent involuntary use of the word “biscuit” provided the title for her first standup show, Backstage in Biscuit Land). Jess published Welcome to Biscuit Land, a detailed and engaging guide to a year in her life covering the whole spectrum of her experiences, the challenges and the triumphs.

Velodyne LiDAR today announced that, in the first deployment of fully autonomous production vehicles, driverless technology specialist NAVYA will implement Velodyne's real-time 16-channel 3D VLP-16 LiDAR Pucks as part of a two-year, two-vehicle test with Swiss public transport company PostBus Switzerland Ltd.
The fully autonomous, driverless and electric ARMA shuttles will be subject to two-phase testing. The PostBus vehicles will initially be tested on a private, closed site through the spring of 2016. Once pilot-testing is authorized, the two shuttles will be able to run on public roads in the Swiss town of Sion, the capital of the Canton of Valais, and carry passengers in autonomous mode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwX7HTFHB8w).
ARMA shuttles will enable transport specialists to look into how they integrate into public areas and enable them to test innovative modes of transport. The aim is to offer an additional form of transportation on current routes to cover the needs of all users -- in particular, those who live in areas not currently served by the public system.
PostBus is the leading bus company in Switzerland's public transport network. With over 3,700 employees and almost 2,200 vehicles at its disposal, PostBus carries more than 140 million passengers each year on 869 bus routes. Its trademark – the three-tone horn and the yellow Postbuses – are part of Switzerland's cultural identity. The PostBus brand embodies the values of reliability, security, trust and development.
Founded in 1983 and based in California’s Silicon Valley, Velodyne LiDAR Inc. is a technology company known worldwide for its real-time LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensors. The company evolved after founder/inventor David Hall competed in the 2004-05 DARPA Grand Challenge using stereovision technology. Based on his experience during this challenge, Hall recognized the limitations of stereovision and developed the HDL-64 Solid-State Hybrid LiDAR sensor. Velodyne subsequently released its compact, lightweight HDL 32E sensor, available for many applications including UAVs, and the new VLP-16 LiDAR Puck, a 16-channel real-time LiDAR sensor that is both substantially smaller and dramatically less expensive than previous generation sensors. Market research firm Frost & Sullivan has honored the company and the VLP-16 with its 2015 North American Automotive ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) Sensors Product Leadership Award. Since 2007, Velodyne’s LiDAR division has emerged as the leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of real-time LiDAR sensor technology used in a variety of commercial applications including autonomous vehicles, vehicle safety systems, 3D mobile mapping, 3D aerial mapping and security.

Almost every week, there are reports of teenage and child suicides that result from bullying. Government officials attempt to address the problem by introducing new, tougher anti-bullying measures, but the state’s measures to address the growing epidemic of bullying appear to be having very little positive effect. Such was the case with the “zero-tolerance” policy that school gangs could manipulate so that innocent victims were suspended from school.
Over a period of several decades, successive state policies may ultimately have contributed to the bullying epidemic that is now rampant in the state schools of many countries. Teenage girls have ended their young lives after having been repeatedly harassed and emotionally bullied by their peers at school and via Internet-based social networks. Some experts in the field of girl-on-girl bullying assert that such behaviour results from competition among girls for the attention of boys.
Girls generally become interested in boys after reaching puberty, which according to medical textbooks that date from around the year 1900, used to occur between the ages of 17 and 19 for most girls. During the early years of the 20th century, most girls of that age would have already completed their (compulsory) formal schooling and would have acquired the emotional maturity to manage their developing power to conceive and reproduce. As well, they would likely have had much emotional support and guidance from within their extended families.
During the early years of the 21st century, however, reports are surfacing of girls reaching puberty as young as 10 years old and even 9 years old. That reduction in the age of female puberty indicates that something has happened to advance the onset of puberty, and state policy may have played a very significant role in that regard. Over the past century, government officials have sanctioned and approved almost all of the changes that have occurred in the water supply (industrial pollution, fluoride) and in the food supply (injecting growth hormones and antibiotics into livestock, feeding grain and meat byproducts to cattle).
The combination of changes in the water supply and the food supply, and compulsory vaccination and medication may contribute to girls reaching sexual maturity during their preteen years. State schools are now populated by thousands of such girls, increasing the likelihood of them competing with each other for the attention of boys. Groups of girls form exclusive cliques in the state-run schools and their members assert certain rights to pursue the interest of certain boys in a school. Girls who are outside such cliques may be subject to taunting, harassment, and emotional bullying, sometimes to the point of suicide.
Author and psychologist Nathaniel Branden, who has written extensively on self-esteem, suggests that children can learn self-acceptance in a functional family environment when such behaviour is modeled for them. They then have little need for the acceptance and approval of others. In his book entitled The Disowned Self, Branden discusses the syndrome of self-alienation that is rampant in contemporary society and a motivational factor behind the increased use of drugs and alcohol. While a self-alienated adult may crave the approval of others, a self-alienated youth may gravitate toward membership in a clique or gang.
"In an extended family where children’s emotional needs for acceptance, status, appropriate attention, approval, and validation are being repeatedly met, the children have little need to compete with each other for the attention of adults."
In the classic extended family where many adult relatives interact with children, they fulfill the emotional needs of the children and serve as positive role models. In an extended family where children’s emotional needs for acceptance, status, appropriate attention, approval, and validation are being repeatedly met, the children have little need to compete with each other for the attention of adults. One of the theories as to why children from modern nuclear families engage in bullying behaviour is that they are competing for the attention, status, approval and validation of significant adults and significant peers that children of an earlier generation received from their extended families.
Former gang leaders have on occasion revealed some of their leadership secrets. They see the gang as a surrogate family that attracts boys (and girls) from mainly fatherless homes, or homes where the father is physically present but emotionally absent. Gang members have a deep need for status, acceptance, approval, recognition, affirmation and validation from their peers and significant others. That need drives them to participate in gang activities that may include inflicting harm on others. In state schools, cliques of boys have been known to harass other boys who attend the same school and who are outside of the cliques, including boys who have a disability or medical condition or who are suspected of homosexuality.
During the 1960s, a psychologist named Dr. Stanley Milgrim conducted a series of experiments that involved subjects carrying out orders to inflict harm on their peers, in the form of higher electrical shocks. Several participants obeyed the authority figure to administer “lethal” electrical shocks. A similar experiment of that period involved a group of subjects in the role of “prison guards” who had been given authority over peers. The experiment was curtailed due to the abusive behaviour of the test group who were in positions of authority.
Reports from survivors of bullying and related suicide notes suggest that some exclusive high school cliques may be enacting similar behaviour. While clique members gain status among their peers by participating in activities that may harm others, the need for acceptance seems to override any sense of empathy or compassion for the bullied target.
State social and welfare policies have undermined the traditional family as well as the influence of religious institutions. During an earlier time, religious institutions ran charities and social assistance programs that were funded by voluntary donations. The spiritual and emotional guidance that was once part of children’s lives is long gone, replaced by programs in state schools that are devoid of any such guidance.
While state officials may claim to be addressing the school-bullying problem through tougher rules, they may be reluctant to admit that the bullying problem is the long-term result of successive state policies. Until governments overcome their reluctance to repeal the numerous regulations and laws that have directly and indirectly contributed to the problem, parents may wish to consider the home-schooling option out of concern for the safety of their children.

Aggregatibacter actinomyctemcomitans is a gram-negative bacterium frequently associated with the development of aggressive periodontitis. Aggregatibacter aphrophilus is closely related to A. actinomyctemcomitans but despite this, it does not seem to be involved in any oral infectious disease. Preliminary data from in vitro studies of unpublished observations indicate that A. aphrophilus might have negative impact on the survival of A. actinomycetemcomitans. This could possibly depend on toxins secreted via the type VI secretion system (T6SS) in A. aphrophilus. The aim of this study was to compare quantities between these species in saliva samples collected from a cohort in Kenya (n = 116) and examine whether there exist any inverse correlation. Two sets of primers were tested by using PCR to determine their specificity in detecting A. aphrophilus. To examine an eventual correlation, samples were analysed by qPCR and thereafter compared with previously determined amounts of A. actinomycetemcomitans in these samples. Results from this study indicated that primers targeting the T6SS, i.e. the hcp gene were more specific for detection of A. aphrophilus than the rpoB primers. A majority of the samples contained both Aggregatibacter species, supporting the idea that A. aphrophilus is a common member of the oral microbiota. However, according to our data there was no general association between high amounts of A. aphrophilus and low quantities of A. actinomycetemcomitans.

As I approached my sixteenth birthday, I began to study for my G1 written test in order to receive my drivers’ licence. While doing a practice test, I came across a statistic that stated, “In the United States in 2013, it was estimated that 10 076 people were killed in crashes that involved one or more drunk drivers and 290 000 people were injured in these accidents ”. I had heard a variation of this statistic many times, however I didn’t truly grasp the magnitude of these numbers until I began to reflect on the effects of driving under the influence. As a potential new driver, I was concerned about the use of alcohol while driving so I began to wonder how toxins, specifically alcohol, react within our bodies. I also wondered how, or even if, this interaction could be represented through the use of mathematical analysis.

Kids can be real packrats, but beating back the piles of clutter often helps improve their ability to get stuff done in a timely way. Storage devices in all manner of shapes, sizes and models can usually be found for pretty cheap, and they're a good way to get stuff out of sight and out of mind. Same thing with closet organizers and under-the-bed bins.
Then it's a matter of deciding what stays and what goes, and sorting the keepers into categories. This helps your child remember where everything goes and makes it easier to put it all away. It's fun to save old artwork, but keep it fresh by regularly changing what's displayed and then tucking it away in a box for safe-keeping. The same goes for A+ papers and other projects -- these can just add to the confusion when something current goes missing. Help your child develop a system for dealing with items they might need later, but can do without for the moment.

PTA are advocates for children, their parents/guardians, and teachers. We are here to strengthen and support schools by our presence, positions, and financial help.
We are fortunate to have in our county some very active PTAs. When we say active, we not only mean good fundraising abilities, but also putting our children first by providing educational programming for them and their parents.
PTA is a responsible organization with laws and guidelines which guide our units in their structure and performance.
Please check out the state and national web sites for up-to-date information on legislation, parenting tips, tools for your PTAs, convention news, reflection news, and more.

The fresh, warm air has us all wishing we could sprout wings and fly out into nature! Birds call; creatures chatter, and flowers begin to bloom. It is a magical combination of warmth and sunshine that beckons us to once again get out in our yards and enjoy the world around us. The balmy spring weather; however, brings something else with it as well: mosquitoes and ticks coming out of hibernation. Hiding out all winter season in abandoned tires, woodpiles, and sheds, they rouse with the heat and are naturally ready to feast, like little vampires. How do you fight a vampire? With an angel, of course! Mosquito Squad of West Montgomery County is ready to help protect you, your family, and pets from pesky mosquitoes and ticks. To keep your yard from laying out the welcome mat to the pest kingdom, we have some divine tips you can take under consideration.
Tip. Tip over those standing containers of water! Mosquitoes need only a bottle cap’s worth to breed in, so empty the water. This includes freshening bird baths and dog bowls at least every three days.
Toss. Toss out that old pile of leaves you’ve been meaning to get to. Adult mosquitoes use standing debris as their nesting ground, so keeping yard clutter to a minimum ensures fewer mosquitoes have a place to hang out.
Turn. Turn over any large items that may be holding stagnant water. This includes kiddie pools, toys like dump trucks, buckets, canoes, kayaks, or yard equipment, like your wheelbarrow.
Tilt. Double check all your tarps and gutters to ensure that they are water free. Sags equal pooling water, and that equates to a mosquito breeding sanctuary. It only takes 10 days for mosquitoes to hatch, and one adult female mosquito can lay up to 3,000 eggs in her lifetime. She is welcome to lay her eggs somewhere other than your yard, and by eliminating haunts for her, you reduce the mosquito population in your area automatically.
Treat. The best Montgomery County MD Mosquito Control is through the use of a proven, effective barrier spray. Our barrier spray places a boundary, or a “no fly zone” between your yard and mosquitoes. Unlike other companies who only spray around the perimeter of your house, we believe you are allowed to be in your entire yard, whenever you wish. Mosquitoes bites are painful and annoying, but it is the illnesses (like West Nile Virus and heartworms) that infected mosquitoes carry that make having a hedge of protection between you and them a smart idea.
Learn how to keep mosquitoes and ticks away for Labor Day — and your special day!
Happy Labor Day from Mosquito Squad of West Montgomery!
The last hoorah for summer is right around the corner as residents and communities all over Montgomery County, MD plan their annual Labor Day festivities. With this holiday upon us, many households will be hosting backyard celebrations. All the preparations, guest lists and planning you are working on should also include mosquito and tick control and prevention. Outdoor parties are an important time to make certain that you and your guests don’t get bitten while attending your special event.
Mosquitoes and ticks are vectors for illness and disease, such as Lyme Disease and West Nile Virus just to name a few. Don’t put you or the health of your guests at risk. Even though fall is right around the corner, and you may feel that summer is coming to an end, we are actually in the height of mosquito and tick season. Now it is more important than ever to stay focused and keep your property protected from mosquitoes and ticks.
Special events are an important time to make certain that you and your guests don’t get bitten.
We are still receiving requests for our special event mosquito and tick control services as Maryland homeowners prepare to host other special outdoor events such as weddings, family reunions and birthday parties. Many of these events are larger in size than your average backyard barbecue and seating accommodations are sometimes placed near taller grasses or back up to the edges of your property or wooded areas. In these scenarios, it is crucial to treat your property to kill ticks as well as mosquitoes, since high grass and bushes are where ticks like to hide and tick activity peaks late summer into early fall.
Mosquito Squad of West Montgomery can help you and your family enjoy the remainder of the outdoor living season in your yard without the threat of being bitten. Even though the kids are back in school and vacations have come to an end, there is no reason you can’t enjoy the long afternoons outside with your family and friends. Anytime can be special, even the smallest moments.
Our barrier spray is exactly what you need for the perfect outdoor party!
Eliminates or greatly reduces the number of mosquitoes that might otherwise bite guests or hover around food.

by Anna Griffin Follow OPB Dec. 20, 2018 9:26 a.m. | Updated: Dec. 24, 2018 11:33 a.m. | Portland, Ore.
Out at the Port of Portland’s Terminal 2, the only signs of life on this particular day are two big birds of prey and Bob Sallinger, the conservation director for the Audubon Society of Portland.
He’s probably the only person within a mile’s radius eagle-eyed enough to identify the birds.
“This is really basically an abandoned site,” Sallinger said from a perch just outside the chain-link fence that guards this Northwest Portland cargo terminal.
The silence helps explain why representatives of the Portland Diamond Project, the group trying to bring Major League Baseball to Oregon, sounded so optimistic last month. They announced a tentative deal to develop Terminal 2, owned by the Port of Portland and all but unused in recent years, as a potential baseball stadium and mixed-use development.
But there’s at least one big logistical hurdle between that rosy prediction and making sunny summer nights watching baseball on the west bank of the Willamette River a reality.
The Port of Portland’s Terminal 2, visible from across the Willamette River in Northeast Portland on Monday, Dec. 24, 2018. The Fremont Bridge is visible in the background.
In another state, none of this might matter. But Oregon prides itself on smart, balanced growth. The law actually requires communities to keep a certain amount of industrial land tucked away. Preserving land for economic growth is No. 9 on the state’s 19-point list of land use planning goals.
Industrial land grows even more precious along waterways such as the Willamette River because it’s even harder to replace.
Because of its riverfront location, Terminal 2 actually has extra special zoning protection – something called a prime industrial overlay. City Council members approved that two years ago, and it just took effect this past summer.
That doesn’t mean this property can’t be rezoned, just that it could be an incredibly arduous process.
Portland Diamond Project leaders are now in the process of starting negotiations with the city and the Port over precisely how to build a stadium at Terminal 2.
Planners and people more familiar with the land-use process are less optimistic, at least about the timing. Rezoning Terminal 2 would require the approval of the city planning commission, the Portland City Council and the Metro regional council. Opponents would get multiple opportunities to appeal along the way.
That’s four to five years before construction even starts.
But there is another, faster way. Imagine a scenario in which city and regional leaders decide everything about a stadium deal makes sense – say, the Diamond Project proves to them that a ballpark really can get built with minimal public money and that there’s a team out there ready to start playing in Portland the moment a new stadium opens.
In a case like that, baseball proponents and city leaders could go directly to the Oregon Legislature. Lawmakers don’t use it often, but they have the power to essentially step in and decide local land-use issues with the legislative version of one swing of the bat.
Armstrong, the Portland planner, can’t remember the last time that happened in Portland. But it occurred just a few years ago in Washington County when legislators signed off on a “grand bargain” that expanded the urban growth boundary and set urban and rural reserves in the county.
That prospect has the potential to create an unusual political alliance between environmentalists and industrial businesses. Industry officials such as Ellen Wax worry that the loss of Terminal 2 could mean fewer future jobs. Environmentalists such as Bob Sallinger fear rezoning Terminal 2 will mean Portland leaders will feel pressured to find replacement industrial land, and that they’ll target undeveloped and ecologically significant space elsewhere, such as West Hayden Island in North Portland.
The Port of Portland’s Terminal 2 sits empty on Monday, Dec. 24, 2018.
Sallinger isn’t anti-baseball. He grew up a Boston Red Sox fan, which used to be just as frustrating as trying to save the planet.
Now he’s a happier fan and hoping the prospect of baseball in Oregon might provoke a broader debate. He sees this conversation as an opportunity for a broader conversation about whether the land-use policies that make industrial land so precious – and a stadium so hard to build here – are outdated.
Baseball might be coming to this piece of prime real estate. For now, though, the cranes are silent, the warehouses are empty and even the bald eagles have flown away.

I have a problem with the rotation of my models in the final 3D print stage.In the screen shot I want the items on their edge to be oriented differently. The wheel laying flat was created by extruding circles which I was advised was not the way to go so I created a profile with a polyine and then rotate to the finished model but as you can see the printer software places it in it's own way. I have tried to rotate the finished model but the printer software won't open it and reports an error. I tried redrawing the profile differently but it still stands it on it's edge.
Then maybe you can help me.
The object here was 3D printed upside down, so the fairly smooth section at the top was printed first, and that's how it should have been printed all over.
However, when it got to the angled part, it started laying a combination of globs of plastic and a continuous bead going round and round (or occasionally in a serpentine pattern).
Is there some setting on your printer that could cause this or, better yet, prevent it from happening?
Jeff, you may be using only 1 perimeter per layer. Try increasing it to 2 or 3 perimeters per layer to see if the steep angle comes out better.

Home / Practice Makes Perfect.
And Other Reflections on How Performance Opportunities Shaped my Ballet Career.
Grace as Cinderella in 2010.
Throughout my life I’ve been told “practice makes perfect.” When I was a ballet student at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, I learned firsthand the more you do something, the better you get.
Eight years ago, I had the thrilling opportunity to play Cinderella in Alan Hineline’s Cinderella’s Ball. This season, CPYB is reprising this production and it brings to mind many of the lessons I learned as an aspiring dancer working so diligently to be my best in this role and how performing as a student taught me valuable life and career lessons.
1. Sometimes the shoe doesn’t fit, but you need to play the character anyway!
I faced a challenge when preparing for the role of Cinderella. How could I be shy and vulnerable on stage – when in my life, I’m anything but?! It was important for me to portray these qualities so the audience could recognize Cinderella’s weaknesses and empathize with her timid virtues.
While I thought Cinderella and I were so different, she taught me valuable lessons that I still use today… Put my personal preconceptions aside and always embrace the essence of a character. I learned how to fully immerse myself in a role and tap into parts of me that aren’t immediately obvious or accessible.
2. Even if your partner is a Prince, you still need to communicate.
Communication is the key to being a better dance partner. Cinderella’s Ball is so much about the partnership with the Prince. During rehearsals, I learned how to be respectful and communicate my needs to my partner. This lesson has been invaluable to my career as a professional dancer.
3. Performing is more fun with friends.
One of my favorite memories of Cinderella’s Ball was that my best friend was cast as the Fairy Godmother. It was so fun to rehearse with her and have the thrill of performing together on stage. When you spend so much time preparing for a production, it helps to be doing it with people you love. Comradery with your fellow dancers makes life better, whether you’re 16 or 26!
Grace (Cinderella) and Daniela Aldrich (Fairy Godmother) in 2010.
4. Music is a character in the show too.
Much like the palace is a character in Cinderella, music should be respected as having a role in every production. In Cinderella’s Ball, the pas de deux with the Prince is set to the beautiful score of Prokofiev. My first year at Alabama Ballet, we performed Romeo and Juliet which is also composed by Prokofiev. The challenge with intense scores is not becoming overly dramatic in attempt to compete with the music. Sometimes it’s best to keep it simple and let the beauty of the music play its role.
5. The best way to get over performance anxiety is to perform.
There is no better way to prepare yourself for a professional company than getting out onstage. Overcoming stage fright and anxiety is a huge issue that can only improve by practicing and making yourself more comfortable on stage. No matter your age or stage in training, take every opportunity you get to perform in front of a live audience. Your future self with thank you for the confidence it instills.
Grace Anli Snyder began her training at the age of three at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. At age 17, Grace joined Alabama Ballet as an apprentice. Since being promoted to company member in 2014, she has performed the principal roles in Giselle, Coppelia, and George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®, as well as many soloist roles.

The 4GB hard-drive that makes is the nucleus of the new iPod Mini from Apple is made by Hitachi, sources at both Apple and Hitachi have confirmed to The Mac Observer. The one-inch wide drive is expected to make up a number of new portable music players that will compete against Apple in the near future.
It was expected that Apple would use a new one-inch hard-drive from Toshiba that was to be announced at the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, Nevada. Industry sources have confirmed that Toshiba was unable to deliver its competitive one-inch hard drive fast enough to be considered the primary drive by Apple. The Toshiba drive is expected to be about the size of a quarter and will be used in a number of other popular MP3 players.
To date, Hitachi is the only hard drive maker to have shipped a one-inch drive with a 4GB capacity. In 2002, IBM sold its hard-drive business to Hitachi. IBM originally developed the one-inch drive, called the micro-drive, in the 1990s, but it was not widely popular. A number of companies are still using the IBM micro-drive, including Fuji in its digital cameras sold in Europe and Asia.

Starting today, “Las Campanas Compadres” is on Twitter!
Santa Fe City Hall was buzzing with a full house of City Council attendees on the evening of December 11, 2013.
After preliminary city council roll call, the pledges to the national and state flags, and before the expected lengthy two-session meeting, presentations were made by Mayor David Coss to honor Santa Fe citizens for their outstanding contributions to the Santa Fe community.
Among those listed on the agenda as “Muchas Gracias Award” recipients were the founders of Las Campanas Compadres, Lawrence and Suzanna Becerra. Jack and Carole Berger were in supportive attendance representing the volunteers of LCC and the generous Las Campanas community participants who keep the program’s therapeutic riding and swimming programs going strong.
Before the Mayor read the words on the parchment certificates, Darlene Romero gave a short summary of the mission of Las Campanas Compadres for the benefit of the audience, and also related how Lawrence and Suzanna epitomize the meaning of “Compadres” as they lead their organization as “protectors, benefactors and friends”.
With heartfelt appreciation for Lawrence and Suzanna, John M. Romero, one of LCC’s sixty students, thanked them for enriching his life and giving him their friendship.
The “Muchas Gracias Award” is a singular symbol of immense appreciation for the Becerras’ generosity and hard work to start and maintain an organization that benefits disabled students and their families in meaningful and multifaceted ways.
Please benefit LCC by using the Amazon portal on the Las Campanas Compadres website home page.

Are you making progress on your 2009 goals?
If you need some fresh ideas and a little support, sign up now for this month’s Girl Power Hour (GPH) event being held this Thursday night (the full scoop is below). I’ll be there to kick off the conversation about how to get what you want in 2009. This is the second part of GPH’s special four-part series called The Power of Focused Intention.
If you’ve never been to a GPH event, you’ve GOT to go. They are always packed and tons of fun. You can usually find over 100 of the most driven, successful business women in town (and guys are always welcome, too!) sipping drinks (or mineral water) while networking in new-school ways.
In fact, if I was a guy – or a gal – trying to market to young, hip, entrepreneuirual gals, I’d call, email, tweet or Facebook the event co-manager, Darnell Sue, and become a sponsor immediately. Talk about a perfect, captured, niche audience!
Speaking of Darnell, in addition to putting on these super-successful events every month, she’s also the Seattle PI’s “Girl About Town” and writes about life and the social scene in Seattle. A multi-talented, social maven, she can go from spinning records to hosting Grammy Award winning artist Dirty Vegas at Sugar for a movie premier party in seconds flat. She created Girl Power Hour with Samantha (Sam) Lawton, an account executive with Sustainable Group, a growing “green” business. Keep your eye on these two.
And speaking of keeping your eye on things, if you’ve lost sight of those goals you set back in January, I hope to see you at Girl Power Hour this Thursday night.
Charity: Accessories drive for **The Ruby Room. Bring to donate your jewelry, purses and/or unused makeup including samples.
Details: Swag bags, door prizes and the chance to make invaluable connections with your peers over a cocktail or two!!! Cocktail specials and light appetizers will be on-hand.
**The Ruby Room is a nonprofit organization that provides formal gowns to Seattle area high school girls who are unable to purchase their own dance attire. Dresses and accessories are collected throughout the year and made available at boutiques in the spring. Each girl is paired with a personal shopper volunteer who assists her in picking out the perfect gown. If you are interested in becoming involved with The Ruby Room, there will be a representative on-site to answer questions and provide information.

NEW DELHI: Indian naval ships today sailed for over two months long operational deployment to the disputed South China Sea during which they will take part in Malabar naval exercise with the US and Japan.
"In a demonstration of its operational reach and commitment to India's Act East policy, the Indian Navy's Eastern Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral SV Bhokare, Flag Officer Commanding Eastern Fleet, sailed out today on a two and a half month long operational deployment to the South China and North West Pacific," a statement from the navy said.
Reacting sharply to India's move in December last year of including Japan in the Indo-US Malabar naval exercises on a permanent basis, China had said that Tokyo will not "provoke confrontation" and "heighten tensions" in the region.
The US, which had been pushing for Japan's inclusion, has said the exercise is an important element for assessing the maritime capabilities of all the three countries.
The US has in recent months ramped up its warnings over what it calls China's growing "militarisation" in the region.
American warships and aircraft have undertaken number of operations in the region to challenge China's moves even as the US hopes to stitch Asian military powers into a closer cooperation.

We just purchased a Panasonic AG-HP370 camera as well as a Panasonic AJ-PCD2 card reader. When I installed the card reader into our computer I was not sure what driver to use. The CD that came with the reader shows an AJ-PCD20 but not a plain 2, so I used the 20.
We have two problems. Our P2 Viewer program will show a Virtual P2 card once the contents of the P2 card are transferred to the hard drive, but will not find the P2 card in the card reader. The second problem is we get no audio when playing a clip through the viewer program. The audio shows on the meter within the viewer program, just not hearable. When put on a timeline the audio plays fine.
Sounds like you are on a PC. Just a guess. Installing the correct driver does make a difference.

Australia has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine its place in the world through the production of renewable energy. I share a vision with thousands of Aussies who believe we can get Australia to 100 per cent renewable energy. This transition not only benefits the planet – it presents one of the greatest economic opportunities for our country in terms of job creation and economic growth over the next 10 to 20 years.
This isn’t a pipe dream. Australia is blessed with abundant renewable resources. We have huge open spaces drenched in sun and vast expanses of coastline exposed to powerful winds. If you landed on this planet tomorrow and needed to generate solar and wind power, you’d choose Australia. And you’d be spoilt with choice from sunburnt Western Australia to the windy Great Australian Bight.
Moving our energy generation entirely to renewables is an aspirational and achievable national goal, of which we could be justifiably proud. But we can do better than that. We should be aiming to turn Australia into a renewable energy superpower that exports energy into Asia.
Australians are optimistic people. Let’s lean into the positivity of what could be instead of focusing on the negatives. Australia has a strong track record in innovation – we’re famous for our ingenuity. Take Cochlear, wi-fi, Google Maps – all innovations created in our backyard. We already have an incredible track record of grand engineering projects dating back to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Snowy hydro scheme. We can do it again.
In energy, Australians are already world beaters who have voted with their … roofs. Today, about five million Australians sleep under a roof with solar panels installed. That’s the highest density per household anywhere in the world.
Then there’s the Hornsdale Power Reserve. You might know it as the “big battery” in South Australia. We are showing the world how it’s done – this battery is three times larger than any other lithium ion battery ever created. Far from the “Big Banana”, as politicians branded it, it’s on track to pay for itself within three years and, more importantly, it’s helping bring down energy bills across South Australia while everybody else’s around the country are growing.
A lack of strong, consistent policy and vision from our political leaders over the past decade is one of the major reasons for expensive power bills. Our Prime Minister, who not so long ago sat in Parliament waving a lump of coal at the opposition, has defined “fair dinkum power” as energy that turns on when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. I’m one of thousands of Aussies joining together to redefine the term to mean clean, cheap and reliable renewable energy.
Australia exports $27 billion of coal each year. No one would argue that coal hasn't been an important industry for our economy. But the world is changing around us and the coal industry’s future is not bright. We haven’t built a coal plant in Australia since Kogan Creek in 2007 because it just doesn’t make economic sense. Instead, we’ve added gigawatts of wind and solar projects, quite simply because they’re cheaper.
Let’s look at the same topic from another angle – job creation. The construction of the Adani mine was estimated to create about 1500 jobs (a number that I suspect has dwindled since the project has been scaled back). In contrast, renewable projects that are planned and under construction in Queensland alone have created more than 35,000 jobs. The maths stacks up.
So, my request to you, Australia, is to visit www.fairdinkumpower.com.au, read the manifesto and sign the pledge if you agree with it. Talk to your family and friends about it around the dinner table and make sure your MP knows this will be the biggest issue at the upcoming federal election.
If you can, join the occupants of two million Australian households who reduce their power bills with economical rooftop solar. We have an incredible opportunity to produce clean, cheap and reliable power that we can take to the world. But we need to lean into this vision together and make it happen. The prosperity and health of our future generations depend on it.

Dominating the Loire River, the royal castle of Blois is not only one of the most prestigious Renaissance monuments in France but also a brilliant illustration of the evolution of the French architecture from the Middle ages to the 17th century. About the middle of the 10th century, the name of Thibaud I is recorded Count of Blois, he was the founder of the family who remained in power until 1230. Blois became the most important town in the region. The first stone castle was built to protect the town dates back to that period. An independent bastion surrounded the castle, and followed the line of the headland on which it was erected. The numerous medieval remains still exists. The best preserved medieval tower is situated on a terrace overlooking the Loire.
While the Franco-Anglo was (named the Hundred Years War) raged in the real, an event took place that determined the future of the county of Blois, the ancient fortress became a royal castle. At the end of the 14th. century, the county of Blois was sold to Prince Louis of Orleans, son of the king of France Charles V. He lived in the castle for 25 years attracting a small court of scholars and poets. His grandson, Louis XII became king of France in 1498 and decided to move to Blois, in this way, the small town became a royal town and the capital of the Kingdom.
Under Louis XII and Francis I the town of Blois grew considerably. But after the disaster of Pavia in 1525, Francis I never returned to Blois and his successors only paid short visits to the town.
Detail of an equestrian statue of Louis XII on the palace facade in flamboyant Gothic style.
In 1498, Louis XII was determined to make the dukedom of Orleans, and his native town, the political center of France, transforming the dark medieval fortress into a beautiful gay and luminous castle suitable for the new Style of Life. The new appearance of this gracious manor built in brick and stone is surprising.
According to French and Gothic tradition, the initials and emblems of the owners of the place are sculptured in the stone: fleur de lis for the king and ermine spots for the queen, Anne de Bretagne. The equestrian statue of the king crowns the main entrance of the castle.
Francis I's Wing seen from the inner courtyard with the famous staircase.
The Francis I's wing was commenced in 1515, that is at the beginning of his reign, and works were completed before 1524, marking the death of Queen Claude de France, whose initials and emblems are associated everywhere with those of the king. Built only 15 years after the Louis XII wing, the Francis I wing is very different. During these 15 years, French art changed radically in contact with Italian art. The Francis I wing is on of the very first masterpieces of French Renaissance.
The emblem of the king, the salamander, is sculptured eleven times in high relief on the Francis I facade. The staircase, which was at the center of the facade before Gaston d“Orleans began to modify the castle is a masterpiece. When the Italianate straight flights of stairs appeared in the Loire Valley after the Gothic period, the shape of the spiral staircase in a protruding octagonal cage was considered rather ordinary. The staircase, with its three floors of balconies looking on to the Court of Honor, is perfectly suitable for the display of more and more sumptuous ceremonies.
The building at the back of the courtyard was built between 1635 and 1638 for Gaston d”orleans, Luois XIII's brother, exiled to Blois due to his perpetual intrigues against the king. The severe style o this classic building does not harmonize with the fantasy and rich decor of the renaissance constructions which could have disappeared if the project had been completed. The architect Francois Mansart, had in mind a grand palace, with four wings around the courtyard. Gaston d'Orleans passed the rest of his life in the Francis I wing, looking out on his unfinished masterpiece.
Francis I's wing. The first hall on the first floor with the monumental fireplace. The kings bedroom. Furniture of the time. Details of the stainglass windows.
Detail of the fireplace in the bedroom of Catherine of Medici. A fireplace with the Salamandre, emblem of King Francis I.
Blois has been renovated quite a few times, but there are still some rooms with the ancient decorations of the 15, 16 century. Two kings that I know of have lived there François 1er and Louis 12. The theme of the castle is “Blois, un chateau de l'an mil.” Blois was started around the year 1000 and took few hundreds of years to finish. Also the region of Blois is cheaper compared to the rest of France, if you have the choice between Blois and Chenonceaux, take Blois.

The General Rules of the University requires every post-graduate student to submit two final, corrected copies of the dissertation or research report or thesis in a printed format as well as a final, corrected copy in electronic format.
The availability of Wits theses and dissertations electronically will undoubtedly lead to increased visibility of the institution internationally.
By creating ETDs students can use more innovative approaches, as well as print on paper, including audio, video, hypertext, multimedia and hypermedia.
Access to graduate research information is enhanced by making it available to researchers on the Internet (ETDs are accessed ten to a hundred times more than the paper copy).
Collaboration between research programmes can be promoted at separate universities by making research work visible and accessible via a network archive.
The costs of submitting and handling theses and dissertations will be reduced.
The theses and dissertations will be available 24 hours a day and are never checked out of the library.
Students submitting a Thesis or Dissertation must be aware of current copyright issues. Both for the protection of your original work as well as the protection of another's copyrighted work, you should follow all current copyright law.

“If I had been the son of academics maybe I would have been on campuses and would never have been as impressed as I was when I was here, because it’s the first time I really was walking among people who were world leaders, who were creating, inventing.” –New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg ’64, quoted in The New York Times about the recent gift he gave to Johns Hopkins.
On January 26, 2013, the Johns Hopkins University announced a record-setting alumni donation: philanthropist and New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s $350 million gift to the university. The donation brings Bloomberg’s lifetime donation—one that began with a $5 gift a year after his 1964 graduation—to $1.1 billion.
Almost 30 percent—$100 million—of Bloomberg’s latest gift will be dedicated to need-based financial aid for undergraduate students, ensuring that the most talented and driven students are admitted to the university’s classrooms, regardless of economic circumstance. Over the next 10 years, 2,600 Bloomberg Scholarships will be awarded.
The gift will also endow 50 Bloomberg Distinguished Professors, whose expertise crosses traditional academic disciplines and who will engage in collaborative, cross-disciplinary research ranging from politics and policy to health care delivery to basic curiosity-driven research. The goal of these professorships is to make it as easy for faculty, staff, and students to work across disciplines as within them.
Bloomberg’s gift ensures the perpetuity of the intellectual climate that he says so captured him as an undergraduate and enables future students to walk among scholars, scientists, writers, and teachers. Who knows? Among them may be a future mayor of New York.

Scientists are today warning there is an urgent need to identify species most threatened by climate change.
Dr Platts holds a recently discovered species of dwarf cameleon, known only from a remote volcano in Mozambique. Assessing the climate change vulnerability of such rare species is a particular challenge.
With the first documented extinction due to human-induced climate change, of the Bramble Cay mosaic-tailed rat, recorded in 2016, the paper has been published in response to the urgent need for reliable ways to measure the vulnerability of species in order to ensure conservation efforts are targeted and effective.
The study, from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), provides practical guidance to the scientific community on how to carry out rigorous assessments, which take into account the broad range of ways in which climate change may become a threat to species.
The known impacts on wildlife range from rising sea levels destroying habitats to shifts in the availability of food, as in the case of many seabirds.
The 18 authors of the review stress that scientists should identify the full range of pressures that plants, animals and fungi face from a changing climate when assessing their vulnerability.
The researchers say that climate change vulnerability assessments to date have tended to overlook species that are only found in limited areas, such as many sub-Saharan amphibians, and to underestimate risk for those declining in number or distribution. This is of particular concern as these rare species are at greatest risk of extinction, the authors warn.
Dr Phil Platts, from the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of York and member of the IUCN Climate Change Specialist Group, said: “A common way to assess climate change vulnerability for species is to look across their known distributions, to understand the conditions where they thrive. But many of the rarest, most imperilled species, have small ranges or very few data points, making it difficult to predict their climate response.
Climate change vulnerability assessment of species, is published in the journal WIREs Climate Change.

Abstract: "Especially for developing countries, sugar is important to the economy. Most sugar-producing countries have enacted legislation to protect their domestic industries. This is also true for the United States. Although the contribution of the United States and Florida to world sugar production is almost insignificant, they are affected by world sugar events."
General Note: "First published November 1990; revised June 2002. Reviewed October 2008."
General Note: "FRE SPS 4."
General Note: "This publication is also part of the Florida Sugarcane Handbook, an electronic publication of the Department of Agronomy, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL."
Domestic and International Competition in Sugar Markets 3 a dumping ground and remains relatively "thin" compared with world supply and demand. An attempt at regulating the residual "free market" to eliminate dumping and dampen the movement of prices has been made through International Sugar Agreements. Initiated in 1953 between major exporting and importing countries, their performance has been disappointing. The efforts of more than 100 countries negotiating under the Uruguay Round of the Generalized Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), discussed in another article in this series (SC022, Sugar and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), did not produce dramatic results in their efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate agricultural subsidies in the early 1990s. GATT was replaced by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Negotiations have continued. If a final agreement is implemented in the future, it will have a dramatic impact on world sugar production and trade, including Florida and the United States. Alvarez, Jose, and Leo C. Polopolus.

The Dream is a spectacular ship! You're going to have a great time! You can book an excursion once your booking window opens, but you need to cancel it at least 3 days before boarding. So if you wait until you are onboard the ship, it's too late.
However, if Disney or the provider of the excursion cancels it (for example, if the weather is bad) then you don't have to pay for it.

A team of four Bauer MBA students, including (left to right) James McLellan, Heather Nguyen, Jason Ruth and Adam Jalfon, are the Americas champions for the 2013 Google Online Marketing Challenge for their campaign for the Children’s Museum of Houston.
Google announced recently that a team of four MBA students from the C. T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston are the Americas champions of the 2013 Google Online Marketing Challenge.
The team, comprised of Bauer MBA students Heather Nguyen, Jason Ruth, Adam Jalfon and James McLellan, competed against 12,000 students from more than 80 countries to become the Americas Winner in the challenge, which allows college students to display their skills in advertising, ecommerce, integrated communication, management information systems, marketing and new media technologies. Bauer teams have competed in the challenge for the past four years, with the 2011 team taking the global title.
Preparation for the competition began months before the team submitted its final report. To begin the process, the Bauer students selected a client — the Children’s Museum of Houston — and analyzed the company’s business and marketing needs. Then, the team drafted a pre-campaign report, according to a rubric provided by Google. After submitting the report online, the team was given an online Google AdWords account and $250 from Google for a three-week campaign to improve online marketing efforts for the museum.
“Forester Research forecasts that spending for U.S. online marketing will be $50 billion this year. Being able to design, create and execute an online marketing campaign for $250 that cuts through that noise and is judged by Google, industry professionals and academic experts to be the most effective in all of North, South and Central America is a herculean accomplishment. And, being recognized twice in the past three years as either the best in the Americas or the best in the world for online marketing is reflective of the quality of UH Bauer College marketing students,” said Executive Professor Steven Koch, the team’s faculty advisor.
The students came together in a course taught by Koch. In order to be accepted into the class, students were interviewed and required to complete a course in Internet Marketing and Ecommerce.
Her teammate Jason Ruth agreed.
The team’s campaign, while running, was constantly evaluated, in real time, by Google using 30 performance algorithms, grouped into five constructs — account structure, optimization techniques, account activity and reporting, and budget and performance. The team’s pre and post written reports were evaluated by a panel of industry experts, Google executives and academicians using a preset rubric.
This is the fourth year for a Bauer MBA team to enter the competition. In 2011, four Bauer MBAs were named global champions with their plan for the Houston Symphony.

Chambersburg, Pa., brings you a virtually unknown band who probably will not remain so for long. The five stalwarts that combine to form The Shackeltons seem to be tapping into a new vein of sonic consciousness which has only been touched upon previously. Though young in terms of history, they display some serious vibe in the vein of Fugazi and mewithoutyou.
Creative, driving songwriting, stalwart rhythms, and slightly punk-rock delivery makes this outfit a future force to be reckoned with. The vocals are partially sung, partially spoken, and partially shouted, lending a diversity that plays to the utter advantage of these guys.

Holocaust first appeared at the X-Men's base at Wundagore Mountain. He was sent there by Apocalypse in order to prove his worth. Known as Nemesis as the time, he claimed to be the son of Apocalypse.
Nemesis was sent to kill as many of Magneto's young students as he could while the X-Men were off fighting Apocalypse's Horsemen. He was defeated in battle by the Scarlet Witch, although he was able to kill her. He left before the X-Men returned and was embraced by Apocalypse as his newest Horseman.
During Apocalypse's blitzkrieg launched against Europe and Asia, Nemesis joined Apocalypse in Japan. They murdered thousands of humans and captured Sunfire, but before they could kill him, Sunfire unleashed a nuclear level plasma blast. Nemesis absorbed the blast, saving himself and Apocalypse.
When Apocalypse returned home to recuperate, Nemesis, now charged with Sunfire's energies, was left to take care of Japan. A small squad of X-Men attacked him. Using Sunfire's energy, Nemesis was about to murder Quicksilver. Enraged, Magneto used his powers to tear Nemesis apart from the inside out. The X-Men retreated, many of them injured, and left the burnt corpse of Nemesis for dead.
Nemesis awoke in the labs of the Dark Beast and was fitted with a transparent armor that would not only channel his energy but also contain him and keep him from dissipating. He took the name Holocaust and would eventually become a Horseman again.
In the days leading up to the fall of Apocalypse, Holocaust faced off against Sabretooth and Wild Child in Chicago. Holocaust was winning and, in his excitement, revealed the secret location of an Infinite processing plant. Wild Child took this information back to the X-Men who used it to save thousands of lives.
Defeated in Indianapolis by the X-Men, the beaten Holocaust returned to his father's side. In the final battle of the Age of Apocalypse, Holocaust fought the Sinister-created Nate Grey. Grey stabbed Holocaust with a shard of the M'Kraan Crystal, which sent both of them into the original Marvel Universe (616), where Holocaust continued to wreak havoc.
Eventually Holocaust was placed onto the Exiles when they visited the Age of Apocalypse world. Immediately attacking his team members, Holocaust decided to escape the battle to seek out the M'Kraan Crystal. After finding the crystal in a military base, Holocaust interogated the research staff who told them there was another object making similar energy emissions as the crystal. The technicians equipment led Holocaust back to the Exiles and the Tallus. Using the Tallus and the M'Kraan Crystal, Holocaust and the Exiles teleported to the Panoptichron where they encountered Hyperion. Discovering Hyperion was behind his becoming an Exile, Holocaust attacked Hyperion. Hyperion quickly delt with Holocaust by cracking open his shell and "eating" the pure energy that he was made of effectively killing Holocaust.

Nothing makes me happier than visiting the shops that carry DPP aka Diane Pernet Paris. Today I took a day trip to Antwerp to see my dear friend Akiko Hamaoka before she returns to Tokyo and of course to see the Olivier Theyskens She Walks in Beauty exhibition. I was delighted to walk into Verso and see my perfumes right at the entry. Visit both the luxury fashion shop and their perfume gallery and after a tea at the Verso Cafe.

The San Francisco public defender on how he fights unconscious bias.
Jeff Adachi serves as the elected Public Defender of San Francisco.
A couple of months ago, a San Francisco public defender was assigned a case. The client was a 19-year-old African American arrested for carrying a gun. He faced a stiff sentence for weapon possession.
He explained to his attorney that he began carrying a gun after his best friend was shot dead by rival gang members at war with a gang in his neighborhood. He was not part of that group, but he feared he would be killed in the violence that rocked his streets.
The client’s lawyer, who had grown up in an upper-class neighborhood and graduated from a good school, had a hard time understanding this explanation. Why, she wondered, didn’t her client just call the police?
This lack of understanding put the lawyer and client in a difficult position. A lawyer who doubts her client will struggle to convince a jury. She might also worry that jurors couldn’t possibly empathize, and push him to plead guilty and accept a plea.
Decades of research has shown that we all possess biases that we are not consciously aware of, which affect our understanding, actions and decisions. Dozens of studies have shown that police officers, judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys suffer from implicit biases, and that it affects the outcomes in criminal cases. It is likely one of the reasons non-white Americans are disproportionately arrested and sentenced. Lawyers may decide to argue a point, such as whether the defendant’s actions were reasonable, based on how they perceive a client.
Given that most public defenders handle a high volume of cases and clients — sometimes in the hundreds — their decision-making process is vulnerable to unconscious bias. A public defender may try harder for a client that he or she perceives as more educated or likely to be successful because of their race.
I didn’t always understand this. I’m the elected public defender of San Francisco, and I was first approached about training my staff on implicit bias four years ago. I was skeptical. My staff works with ethnic minorities every day, I thought. Many had come to this line of work because of concern over racial disparities. How could we be biased against those who we represent?
But I quickly learned that public defenders are not immune from stereotypes and perceptions that influence our decision-making process.
To start, I took Harvard’s Implicit Association test. In it, images of white and black faces flash on the screen as the user uses a keyboard to quickly make certain choices: good, bad, positive or negative. The research shows that humans think and process information by making automatic associations between concepts. The test results showed that I, like most people who have taken the test, suffered from unconscious bias.
I also began reading studies on how defense lawyers were affected by implicit bias. One study showed that defense attorneys in death penalty cases paired pictures of white-skinned faces with stereotypically good words; they paired “bad” words with black faces. The study also found that 88 percent of U.S. attorneys are Caucasian and the vast majority of attorneys have “automatic reactions that make associating white with good easier than associating white with bad.” This made me realize that black clients had an extra obstacle to obtain justice because their lawyers’ biases could affect how hard the lawyer pushed for them.
This is also problematic because of the prevalence of plea bargaining. In most jurisdictions, over 95 percent of the cases that are not dismissed or diverted result in a plea bargain. Past studies have suggested that attorneys may consider race in assessing the client’s chances of conviction and may therefore be willing to recommend higher sentences to account for a biased system.
Two years ago, we partnered with social science researchers from the Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice Plea to measure racial disparities in our plea bargains, and to determine whether the race of a client — or an attorney — affects outcomes. While the final study has not been released, the preliminary data shows a clear correlation between race and outcomes. Black defendants were more likely to be convicted of more charges and received more severe sentences. Armed with this information, we can now begin comparing outcomes and determining whether there is a rational explanation as to why they are different.
All of this research convinced me that I need to train my staff on how we form biases and how they potentially affect our work. The bias training we now undergo twice-yearly explores the subtle assumptions we make based on race. It forced us to examine who we choose to associate with, and who we choose not to, and how our fears and misperceptions about people affect the way we interact with them and ultimately represent them in court. And it required us to confront our own racism.
We also instituted some practical safeguards: Public defenders are encouraged to seek feedback from colleagues about potential biases and use checklist tools that ask questions such as “how would I handle this case different if my client was another race or had a different social background?” And we combat our own biases by getting to know our clients and their families. It is then they become individuals and not just criminal defendants.
The good news is that the research shows that as people become aware of their unconscious biases, and are reminded of them regularly, they can correct for them.
That was the case with the lawyer whose client was caught with a gun. She discussed and explored her own biases in a trial practice group. She also worked with her client’s family and brother, who was a soldier who had just served a tour in Iraq, which helped humanize his brother.
Thanks to these efforts, my lawyer was better able to defend her client. She won an acquittal in his case.

Millennials will account for 75 percent of the workforce by 2025.
Any real estate agent can do business from a smartphone, given the right set of apps.
While they are still slightly below historical norms, sales of existing homes rose to their highest levels in the last nine years this May, according to the National Association of Realtors, underlining strong demand amidst steady job creation and low interests.
Technology continues to be a facilitator for a change in basically every industry, and the real estate market is no exception. Millennials are driving much of the technological innovation in the real estate industry, and according to Joel Marcus, the CEO of Alexandria REP, which specializes in science campuses, millennials already comprise more than 40 percent of the workforce.
By 2025, Marcus predicts that millennials will account for roughly 75 percent of the workforce.
Simply put: These are the professionals and the homebuyers of the future, and they are used to having information available at all times. Here are a handful of tools that take real estate to the next level.
One of the biggest problems agents face is managing requests to view properties, and many agents who struggle to keep up with the demand often lose many potential clients.
10MinRealty is an on-demand home showing app that is able to connect real estate agents and potential homebuyers instantly.
Many real estate agents have to rush to their office to scan and send documents to clients at least once a day. With CamScanner, they can use a smartphone camera to scan anything and convert it to a PDF file.
Auto-enhancing and smart cropping features make the text as clear as it would be if you scanned the document back at the office.
This app allows users to access the power of Realtors Property Resource with their smartphones so that they can answer any question lobbed at them. With RPR Mobile, you can view sales activates and local market statistics as well as search properties.
The app also lets you create branded reports with your logo, photo and contact information and easily share them with the rest of the world.
PalmAgent offers the ability to run quick estimates and closing costs for both buyers and sellers.
The estimates are accurate because PalmAgent is preloaded with county-specific closing costs, title rates, lender fees and city-specific property tax rates.
If you spend too much time deciphering clients’ handwriting and manually entering all of the data into spreadsheets, this is the right app for you.
Open Home will help you get clear information from clients and let you add notes and client comments as they come through the house. It also sends automatic follow-up emails to potential clients, which can save you a lot of time.
While part-time agents have the luxury of freedom and flexibility, they often miss out on financial opportunities.
If you are running a serious real estate agency, you know that scheduling conflicts and shift changes are bound to happen. Scheduling software like ShiftPlanning eliminates spreadsheets and allows you to create a full schedule in 10 minutes or less.
The practical Sun Seeker uses GPS to display the position and the path of the sun, no matter where you are located on the planet.
The app can be especially helpful on rainy or overcast days, when your buyers are trying to get a feel for how much natural light the property is regularly exposed to. It can also help you plan property photo shoots.
When you are just starting out in the real estate world, you know that time is money; with a good device and few pieces of software, you can easily conquer your daily tasks and have a lot of more time on your hands.
These apps can help you become more productive, better informed and allow you to run your business from anywhere.

8. Centriqhome.com – How about one for persistent digital branding with current/past clients, to increase your referrals and ultimately get you the resale listing on your clients’ homes the next time they come up for sale..? So much more effective with Milenials than farming postcards and mailers.
9. HIllary Reihart is saying also … A comparable app to CamScanner that I’ve loved is the Adobe Acrobat app- it has a new scan to PDF feature and the ability to take a photo of your signiture to sign PDFs digitally.
10.Joel Sherlock · Harvard Business School Executive Education recommends …I would also through in Sign n Send – It allows you to make adjustments to PDF files, like countering an offer, and send it out as a PDF on your phone. Great tool.

RPLP1 and RPLP2 Are Essential Flavivirus Host Factors That Promote Early Viral Protein Accumulation.
The Flavivirus genus contains several arthropod-borne viruses that pose global health threats, including dengue viruses (DENV), yellow fever virus (YFV), and Zika virus (ZIKV). In order to understand how these viruses replicate in human cells, we previously conducted genome-scale RNA interference screens to identify candidate host factors. In these screens, we identified ribosomal proteins RPLP1 and RPLP2 (RPLP1/2) to be among the most crucial putative host factors required for DENV and YFV infection. RPLP1/2 are phosphoproteins that bind the ribosome through interaction with another ribosomal protein, RPLP0, to form a structure termed the ribosomal stalk. RPLP1/2 were validated as essential host factors for DENV, YFV, and ZIKV infection in two human cell lines: A549 lung adenocarcinoma and HuH-7 hepatoma cells, and for productive DENV infection of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Depletion of RPLP1/2 caused moderate cell-line-specific effects on global protein synthesis, as determined by metabolic labeling. In A549 cells, global translation was increased, while in HuH-7 cells it was reduced, albeit both of these effects were modest. In contrast, RPLP1/2 knockdown strongly reduced early DENV protein accumulation, suggesting a requirement for RPLP1/2 in viral translation. Furthermore, knockdown of RPLP1/2 reduced levels of DENV structural proteins expressed from an exogenous transgene. We postulate that these ribosomal proteins are required for efficient translation elongation through the viral open reading frame. In summary, this work identifies RPLP1/2 as critical flaviviral host factors required for translation. IMPORTANCE:Flaviviruses cause important diseases in humans. Examples of mosquito-transmitted flaviviruses include dengue, yellow fever and Zika viruses. Viruses require a plethora of cellular factors to infect cells, and the ribosome plays an essential role in all viral infections. The ribosome is a complex macromolecular machine composed of RNA and proteins and it is responsible for protein synthesis. We identified two specific ribosomal proteins that are strictly required for flavivirus infection of human cells and mosquitoes: RPLP1 and RPLP2 (RPLP1/2). These proteins are part of a structure known as the ribosomal stalk and help orchestrate the elongation phase of translation. We show that flaviviruses are particularly dependent on the function of RPLP1/2. Our findings suggest that ribosome composition is an important factor for virus translation and may represent a regulatory layer for translation of specific cellular mRNAs.

For SCA folk, some numbers and a question.
Eilidh includes research done by Wilhelm von Frankfurt, who recorded the number of different types of awards given in a four-year period. Taking the numbers a bit further, I calculated the percentage of gentles recognized with one award being elevated to the next level, and came up with some interesting oddities in the numbers.
Here's what I find interesting about this table. There are more Dolphins given than Crescent Swords and Harp Argents combined (ditto with the Crescent to Gauntlet/Lux Caidis ratio). If trends were indicative, the Pelican would be the most commonly given peerage in the realm (from the overall elevation ratio of GoA- to PoA-level awards given, ~4.15 Pelicans would be bestowed every reign). Yet the actual peerage numbers don't reflect this ratio.
In reality, knighthood is the most commonly given peerage in Caid, with more knights being made than Laurels and Pelicans combined. In fact, from the numbers given, one who is admitted to the Order of the Gauntlet is practically guaranteed a knighthood (93% elevation rate) and nearly one in four Crescent Swords given will result in membership in the Order of Chivalry. By contrast, only 4.4% of Dolphins will become a Pelican, with a 13.8% elevation rate for Crescent companions.
Given that AoA- to GoA-level ratios are about the same, why is there such a discrepancy? Why are so many service-related awards given in Caid, but so few service-related peerages? Why is the elevation ratio in the heavies circles so high?
I open the floor for discussion.

Before the British copyright act was extended to Ireland in 1801, Irish needs were mainly satisfied by booksellers reprinting English titles – with or without authorisation, as Mary (“Paul”) Pollard, expert on the history of the Dublin book trade observed. This lecture will focus on children’s books issued by James Hoey junior in the late 18th century, which were more than mere reprints. Special attention will be paid to how Hoey adapted the famous 1750 Newbury publication A museum for young gentlemen and ladies specifically for an Irish readership.
The lecture draws on material from the Pollard Collection at Trinity College, bequeathed by the former Keeper of Early Printed Books, which is the largest collection of children’s books in Ireland.
Emer O’Sullivan, Professor of English Literature at Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, Germany, has published widely in German and English on image studies, children’s literature and translation. Kinderliterarische Komparatistik (Winter 2000) won the IRSCL Award for outstanding research in 2001, and Comparative Children’s Literature (Routledge 2005) the Children’s Literature Association 2007 Book Award. Imagining Sameness and Difference in Children’s Literature (co-edited with Andrea Immel) was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2017. She is currently working on an updated and expanded edition of Historical Dictionary of Children’s Literature (Scarecrow Press).

Every year in Baltimore, more than 6,000 renters and their families are evicted from their homes — forced into court proceedings at a higher rate than any other major American city except Detroit, according to a new study from the Public Justice Center.
The evictions are ordered in Baltimore District Court from a docket known as "Rent Court" that largely favors landlords, the study concluded. The system often ignores poor conditions that would justify a tenant's decision to withhold payments, authors, including Dan Pascuiti of the Johns Hopkins University and Michele Cotton of the University of Baltimore, wrote.

The respondent employer and her estate were not represented at oral argument. Notice sent to Gary Ginsberg, Esq., 377 Main St., West Haven, CT 06516.
These Petitions for Review from the August 18, 1995 Ruling on Respondent’s Motion to Reopen Pursuant to Finding and Award and the undated denial of the Motion to Reopen Judgment by the Commissioner acting for the Fifth District were heard May 24, 1996 before a Compensation Review Board panel consisting of the Commission Chairman Jesse M. Frankl and Commissioners George A. Waldron and Robin L. Wilson.
JESSE M. FRANKL, CHAIRMAN. The respondent Second Injury Fund has petitioned for review from the Ruling on Respondent’s Motion to Reopen Pursuant to Finding and Award dated August 18, 1995, and has also petitioned for review from the undated denial of its August 28, 1995 Motion to Reopen Judgment of the Commissioner acting for the Fifth District. The Fund argues on appeal that the commissioner erred by ordering the Fund to pay benefits without first entering an order against another party, and that he erroneously failed to address other issues below. Before addressing these arguments, we first review the history of this case.
Instead of appealing that decision, the Fund again moved to reopen on August 11, 1995, on the ground, inter alia, that no order had been entered against a legal entity prior to the entry of the order against the Fund. Most of that motion was denied, and the Fund filed a petition for review. It also filed a supplemental motion to reopen, again alleging insufficient factual findings to support the exercise of jurisdiction over the Fund. That motion was also denied, and the Fund again petitioned for review. Subsequently, the claimant filed a motion to dismiss the two appeals.
Our consideration of the claimant’s Motion to Dismiss first requires us to note that the Second Injury Fund did not file reasons for appeal pursuant to Admin. Reg. § 31-301-2 in this case. According to that regulation, reasons for appeal were due within ten days of the filing of the petition for review. The second petition for review was filed in this case on September 8, 1995. However, the claimant’s Motion to Dismiss should have been filed within ten days of the day the reasons of appeal became late, pursuant to Practice Book § 4056. Instead, it was filed on December 19, 1995. Thus, the absence of the Fund’s reasons of appeal is deemed waived. Sager v. GAB Business Services, 11 Conn. App. 693, 698 (1987).
As the claimant points out in the argument accompanying her Motion to Dismiss, the Fund has not appealed here from the Finding and Award itself. Instead, both petitions for review arise from the denial of a Motion to Reopen. In two instances in the procedural history of this case, the Fund has failed to appeal from a commissioner’s Finding and Award, and has instead moved to reopen proceedings. “Where, as here, an appeal from a final judgment has not been seasonably taken, ‘[c]laimed errors which might have been assigned on such an appeal are no longer open to review’ upon an appeal from a denial of a motion to open that judgment.” Crozier v. Zaboori, 14 Conn. App. 457, 462 (1988), citing Zingus v. Redevelopment Agency, 161 Conn. 276, 282 (1971). Moreover, the issues the Fund seeks to raise in this appeal are primarily attempts to reargue the jurisdictional issue addressed in this board’s prior Matey decision. As we stated in Peters v. State of Connecticut/Southern Connecticut State University, 13 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 131, 134, 1616 CRB-5-92-12 (Feb. 1, 1995), a party is not entitled to raise questions which were or could have been answered in a prior appeal, even if they concern subject matter jurisdiction. Thus, we must limit our focus on this appeal to the question of whether or not the commissioner abused his discretion in denying the Fund’s motions to reopen under § 31-315 C.G.S.
In the motions to reopen, the Fund did not contend that there was a change in the claimant’s incapacity, or that her degree of dependence on compensation had changed, or that any other conditions of fact relevant to this case had somehow become different. Thus, the commissioner did not err in refusing to reopen the case yet again to consider the claims that the Fund was entitled to a credit pursuant to § 31-293, or that the employer’s executors have not been properly served with the various awards. See Hayden v. Wallace & Sons Mfg. Co., 100 Conn. 180, 185 (1923). Those issues could have been raised long, long ago.
The one legitimate argument that the Fund does have is that the commissioner did not have authority under § 31-355(a) to order payment from the Fund until an award was first made against the employer, and that employer failed to pay the compensation. Bethune v. A&A Seafood, 9 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 79, 80, 927 CRD-3-89-10 (Feb. 20, 1991). That flaw can be remedied simply by remanding this case to the trial commissioner, however, for entry of an order against the decedent employer and/or her estate. As the co-executors of the claimant’s estate both appeared at formal hearings and were excused by the trial commissioner, we have no qualms about saying that they have been apprised of these proceedings and have consented to the jurisdiction of the Workers’ Compensation Commission, and that an award may be entered against the estate. Any difficulty that the Fund has due to the lack of a notice of claim in the probate court is, as we decided in the earlier appeal, not an issue that we will address in this forum. Once an award has been entered against the decedent employer or her estate, if it remains unpaid, an order to pay that award may then be entered against the Second Injury Fund.
The trial commissioner’s denial of the Fund’s August 28, 1995 Motion to Reopen Judgment is thus reversed. The case is remanded to the Fifth District for the limited but necessary procedural purpose of entering an award against the decedent employer’s estate before the trial commissioner may invoke Fund liability under § 31-355(a).

You knew it was bound to happen–sooner or later in our series on the Gospel of John we would come to eschatology. As we will see in our text (John 5:19-29), eschatology is a very important theme in John’s Gospel. Through his signs and wonders, Jesus has identified and proven himself to be the redeemer promised throughout the Old Testament. The redemption to be brought about by our Lord extends beyond the salvation of our souls to include the redemption of our bodies. Jesus has clearly identified himself as Israel’s Messiah who has come to do the will of his Father so as to fulfill all righteousness. This is why Jesus works on the Sabbath, because his Father works on the Sabbath. And what the Father does, Jesus does. Now we learn that the Father has given Jesus the power to give new life and raise the dead. And the resurrection of the dead, of course, is at the very heart of Christian eschatology.
As we saw in the first 18 verses of John 5 (our text last time), at some point Jesus left the Galilee region and returned to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. While in Jerusalem and passing by the pools of Bethesda, Jesus instantaneously and miraculously healed a man who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. Sadly, the former invalid showed no gratitude whatsoever at what Jesus had done for him. When the man stood up and carried his bedroll as Jesus commanded him to do, the man was accused of being a law-breaker by the Jewish authorities because he dared to carry his bedroll on the Sabbath. While such an act was not a violation of the biblical commandment to keep the Sabbath as a day of rest unto the Lord, it was a violation of Jewish tradition which identified thirty-nine specific types of work which were supposedly a violation of the Sabbath commandment. Apparently, moving a bedroll on the Sabbath was one of them.
When confronted about his supposed violation of the Sabbath commandment, the former invalid, in turn, directed the Jewish leaders to Jesus. According to John 5:15 and following, “the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.” John does not give us any specifics, but based upon the fact that the Jews, apparently, had been persecuting Jesus for some time because he “worked” on the Sabbath, at the very least this implies that the incident reported in the first 18 verses of John 5 was only the latest in a string of heated encounters between Jesus and the Jews over proper Sabbath observance.
We don’t know what the Jews said to Jesus, only what Jesus said to them. We read in verse 17, “but Jesus answered them, `My Father is working until now, and I am working.’” According to the creation account God created for six days and rested on the seventh. The Jews of Jesus’ day understood full well that God worked on the Sabbath because as creator of all things, God also sustained all things. God did not take Saturday off. The work of providence continues 24/7. The Jews understood this point, and this was not even an issue. But in the minds of the Jewish leaders, Jesus was a Sabbath-breaker because he “worked” on the Sabbath in a way which was forbidden according to their tradition. Despite the fact that a man who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years was healed and his life restored to him, the Jews angrily declared of this healing, “it is not lawful.” We read not of a word of praise unto the Lord.
