She studied medicine in both Malaysia and the United Kingdom. She graduated from the University of Malaya in 1976.

Foetal haemoglobin is the haemoglobin that transports oxygen during foetal life and in infants until they are six months old. She has studied the mechanisms responsible for the formation of foetal haemoglobin. Thein demonstrated that HbF levels are mainly controlled by genetics, and that majority of the genetic variance is accounted for by factors outside the globin locus. Thein used linkage analysis to identify two of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for this HbF variability. These loci are involved with the control haematopoiesis and the production of HbF. The loci are located on the chromosomes 6q and 2p which are located within the BCL11A gene. Whilst it was known that BCL11A was involved with cancer, Thein was the first to show that BCL11A was associated with red blood cell disorders. The 6q QTL contains single-nucleotide polymorphisms distributed across three linkage disequilibrium blocks, in an intergenic region between MYB and HBS1L. Thain showed that this interval contains regulatory sequences. She has investigated how QTL regulates the expression of MYB and HBS1L. These two QTLs (6q and 2p), and a single-nucleotide polymorphism on the HBB cluster account for"}, {"text": "around half of the variability in HbF levels. She established that these two variants had spread from Africa into almost all human populations. By delineating the genetics of foetal haemoglobin control in adults, she hopes to explain the trait variance in adults as well as identifying the loci and sequences of variants. She believes that by identifying the HbF QTLs she will be able to improve patient management through the development of novel therapies, more sophisticated genetic counselling and better predictions of disease severity. These therapies may include approaches to activate the BCL11A gene. By trying to find the relationships between genotypes and phenotypes, Thein has helped with DNA diagnostics in the haemoglobinopathies. Sickle cell disease occurs because rigid strands form inside red blood cells, destroying their structure and resulting in the formation of sickled cell shapes. Thein is working on therapeutic agents that can work against this polymerisation, stopping the cells changing shape.

Like many of Greenleaf's associations and friendships, Byers was a Freemason and a Past Master of Denver Lodge No. 5 A.F. & A.M in 1876.

The poem \"King Sham\" is one of the most popular of the poems in \"King Sham\".

He then took the poem on tour to the various isolated mining camps throughout the Territory of Colorado, which was most likely the first entertainment tour in the Rocky Mountains. As Greenleaf's popularity grew, he was invited to more and more occasions and events to deliver original poems.

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, most of California's manufacturing was shifted to the war effort. California became a major ship builder and aircraft manufacturer. Existing military installations were enlarged and many new ones were built. California trained many of the troops before their oversea deployment. Over 800,000 Californians served in the United States Armed Forces. California agriculture, ranches and farms were used to feed the troops around the world. California's long coastline also put the state in fear, as an attack on California seemed likely. California was used for the temporary and permanent internment camps for Japanese Americans.

Mining, natural gas, and oil production were active industries in California before World War II, and these rapidly expanded to support the war effort. Like World War I, the mines and mining towns came to life again, due to an increase in demand for gold, copper, and silver. California oil production doubled, the synthetic rubber industry created in California and California agricultural output almost tripled.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor and America entered the war, there was a quick build of new military bases, airfields, training camps, and other military installations.

The work is housed in the Palazzo Barberini, Rome. Description and history. Corradini's subject is Tuccia, an ancient Roman Vestal Virgin who was wrongly accused of being unchaste. She proved her innocence by miraculously carrying water in a sieve from the Tiber River to the Temple of Vesta without spilling a drop. In Corradini's depiction, she holds the sieve on her left hip. The artist began working on \"Tuccia\" shortly after he arrived in Rome from Vienna. He must have been aware of the significance of Tuccia and Vestals to the city. In antiquity, a Vestal's virginity ensured the smooth functioning of the Roman Republic. If a Vestal were sexually active, her impure state actually posed a threat to the Republic, which is why unchaste Vestals were buried alive. This effort was not the first time Corradini addressed the subject. In 1724 he sculpted a bust of a Vestal which today is a part of the"}, {"text": "collection of the Skulpturensammlung in Dresden. A 1733 portfolio of engravings illustrating sculptures in Dresden's Skulpturensammlung collection includes a picture of a veiled Tuccia, presumably by Corradini. The completed sculpture was displayed in Corradini's studio near the Palazzo Barberini. There, it gained a good measure of notoriety and fame. The Jacobite pretender to the English throne, James Stuart, and Pope Benedict XIV both visited the studio to view the veiled \"Tuccia\". The work was never sold. When Corradini moved to Naples to begin work on the Cappella Sansevero, \"Tuccia\" remained at the Palazzo Barberini where it can be found today. Corradini's friend, the painter and caricaturist Pier Leone Ghezzi, offered an explanation: \"the Roman lords\" did not approve \"out of envy\". Symbolism and influence. There are three iconographic elements employed by Corradini in \"The Vestal Virgin Tuccia\": the veil, the sieve, and the rose that she holds in her left hand. While it is appropriate to depict a Vestal with a veil, the shoulder-length veil called a suffibulum that covered the head but not the face of a Vestal bears little resemblance to the large clinging veils favored by the artist. Traditionally, veils are associated with modesty and chastity (e.g.,"}, {"text": "in the Hebrew Bible, Rebecca covers herself with a veil before meeting Isaac). However, Corradini's treatment serves to highlight the flesh beneath the veil, in this case, her belly and breasts, which belies the theme he is purportedly portraying. Because of their association with Tuccia, sieves have always been associated with virginity. During the Renaissance, Queen Elizabeth I was famously depicted in a series of \"sieve portraits\" emphasizing her status as the \"Virgin Queen\". The iconography of roses is quite varied, ranging from victory and pride to love. In this context, the association with the purity of the Virgin Mary is probably the most apt. Nearly a decade later in Naples, Corradini again used the elements of the veil and roses when crafting his last work, \"La Pudicizia\" (variously translated as \"Modesty\" or \"Chastity\"). Although the new sculptural group is more complex than \"Tuccia\", the artist was creating \"La Pudicizia\" in the manner of \"Tuccia\" with a very similar transparent veil over the front of the subject's torso. At the end of the 18th century, Innocenzo Spinazzi used \"Tuccia\" as his modello for a depiction of the Allegory of Faith commissioned for a chapel in Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi"}, {"text": "in Florence. A similar contrapposto stance, twisted upper torso, and a long contour-hugging veil characterize the sculpture. In the mid-19th century, there was a resurgence in popularity of the veiled woman motif after the example of Corradini partially due to the image of a veiled woman becoming an allegory for Italian unification. Artists including Giovanni Strazza, Raffaelle Monti, Pietro Rossi, and Giovanni Maria Benzoni contributed to the genre.

All surviving philosophical passages in Coptic are of Greek origin and many are anonymous. Mostly they deal with ethics and are treated like wisdom literature. Only a few texts have been edited and published. Philosophical excerpts. Among the named philosophers quoted in Coptic are Diogenes, Plato, Dios and the probably legendary Anacharsis. A translation of an excerpt from Plato's \"Republic\" (588A\u2013589B) has been found in the Nag Hammadi library, but it is a poor translation, extensively reworked to better conform with Gnostic teaching. Many leaves of a Coptic manuscript consisting of philosophical texts, fables with Christian interpretations and explicitly Christian texts survive dispersed between libraries in Vienna and London. The parchment manuscript was copied in the 10th or 11th century in the White Monastery. The section of philosophy is titled \"Notes of Some Philosophers\". Anthony Alcock supposes that it was compiled in Akhmim, a centre of Greek learning into the 6th century and also a late redoubt of Egyptian paganism.

When the dog and the lion become tame, they remain friends of those who feed them.

Six anonymous sayings found in the Vienna fragments K 944, 945 and 946 are also found in the \"Homily on the Passion and Resurrection\" of Pseudo-Evodius, where they are called \"wisdom that is outside\" (i.e., of the Bible). Although many writings of the Church Fathers contain extensive philosophizing, few of these are known to have been translated into Coptic. The most notable is Gregory of Nyssa's \"De anima et resurrectione\", a piece of philosophical theology that includes references to Plato's \"Phaedrus\". The native Coptic saint Shenoute also references Plato in his writings. Coptic attitudes to philosophy. Conflicting Coptic attitudes to Greek philosophy are apparent in several sources. Some philosophy, or at least Plato, seems to have been a standard part of a Coptic education in the first centuries AD.

In this passage, Socrates uses \"philosophy\" in its original sense (love of wisdom), even citing the definition of philosophy in Plato's \"Phaedo\", i.e., the \"practice of dying\". The Coptic letters of Anthony the Great (died 356) treat the quest of philosophy and Christianity as the same (wisdom), but the hagiographic \"Life of Anthony\" portrays its subject as an implacable foe of the philosophers.

The company said in a memo sent to employees: \"Vice"}, {"text": "Media fired three employees for behavior ranging from verbal and sexual harassment to other behavior that is inconsistent with our policies, our values, and the way in which we believe colleagues should work together.\" That internal corporate investigation was prompted by investigative stories in \"The New York Times\" and \"The Daily Beast\" examining allegations of sexual harassment regarding several senior male executives in the company. The \"Times\" reported at the time: \"An investigation by The New York Times has found four settlements involving allegations of sexual harassment or defamation against Vice employees, including its current president. In addition, more than two dozen other women, most in their 20s and early 30s, said they had experienced or witnessed sexual misconduct at the company \u2014 unwanted kisses, groping, lewd remarks and propositions for sex. The settlements and the many episodes of harassment the women described depict a top-down ethos of male entitlement at Vice, where women said they felt like just another party favor at an organization where partying often was an extension of the job.\" Several women specifically accused Mojica of such misconduct. The \"Times\"' expose reported, for example, that \"Abby Ellis, a former Vice journalist, said that in 2013 Mr."}, {"text": "Mojica... tried to kiss her against her will. She said that she yelled at him and hit him with an umbrella multiple times. She said that she faced other unwanted advances from Mr. Mojica after the incident. Ms. Ellis said that after the episode she felt that their relationship soured and that she was missing out on newsroom opportunities.\" Mojica responded by saying that he had been \"misreading a moment\" by \"foolishly trying to kiss Abby.\" Mojica further told the newspaper, \u201cI was quickly rebuffed, and I immediately apologized.\u201d A second woman employed by \"Vice\", Helen Donahue, alleged that Mojica had \"grabbed her breasts and buttocks at a company holiday party\", the \"Times\" reported. Mojica said that he did not \"remember doing anything of the sort.\" The \"Times\" also reported that \"Vice\" had earlier settled a potential lawsuit \"for an unknown amount\" of money with Martina Veltroni, a former employee, who alleged that while he was her supervisor, Mojica \"retaliated against her after they had a sexual relationship\" and later \"derailed her career at \"Vice.\"\" Attorneys for \"Vice\" originally denied the allegations against Mojica, claiming that Veltroni was attempting to \u201crecast her consensual and desired sexual relationship with her former"}, {"text": "supervisor\u201d into a false claim of harassment, before reversing course and settling the matter before it would ever reach court. Mojica himself admitted the sexual relationship with a subordinate, but denied that he ever \"retaliated against\" Veltroni. Several other women came forward to allege that Mojica, as their supervisor, dismissed their claims of sexual harassment by other men in the company, and were told they had to tolerate such behavior to keep their own jobs. A former \"Vice\" associate producer, Phoebe Barghouty, told \"The Daily Beast\", that after she complained to Mojica about incidents of sexual harassment by other men in the company directed against her, Mojica told her: \"The thing about working in this industry, is that we have people going into war zones and the only people willing to do that are sociopaths. And you just have to deal with that because that's the only kind of person who can get that story.\" Mojica responded by making the claim that Barghouty's recollection was incorrect and inconsistent with his attitudes.

In November 2013, Marvel's parent company Disney was set to provide Netflix with live-action series based on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, leading up to a crossover miniseries based on the Defenders. Disney CEO Bob Iger explained that Disney had chosen Netflix to air the shows when they realized that the audience of the streaming service would provide a way to \"grow the popularity of the characters\". Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb later stated that Marvel was not \"interested in making four pilots and then hoping someday that they could all get together. Netflix really understood what it is we wanted to do. They're very open to directors that might not have that same opportunity in broadcast television. The notion of having all 13 episodes at one time, particularly in serialized storytelling, is very appealing.\" Loeb also added that the four characters \"lent [themselves] to a world\" due to their relationships and shared locale of New York City in the comics but that the individual series would be different from one another because \"the characters"}, {"text": "have different issues, different problems, different feelings about them\". Loeb gave as an example the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films \"\" and \"Guardians of the Galaxy\" (both 2014), on which he said, \"I cannot think of two films that are more different in tone\" than them, and yet \"they feel very Marvel ... like, 'Oh, it is still the same universe that I'm in.'\" Despite being branded as \"Netflix Originals\", the series were licensed to Netflix from Disney. Marvel's Joe Quesada confirmed in April 2014 that the Netflix series would be set within the MCU. Loeb explained that \"within the Marvel universe there are thousands of heroes of all shapes and sizes, but the Avengers are here to save the universe and Daredevil is here to save the neighborhood ... It does take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's all connected. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we would look up in the sky and see [Iron Man]. It's just a different part of New York that we have not yet seen in the Marvel movies.\" In January 2015, Netflix COO Ted Sarandos said Netflix planned to release a Marvel series approximately a year apart from each other after"}, {"text": "\"Daredevil\" April 2015 release. A year later, Sarandos noted that the release schedules of the Marvel Netflix series are dependent on the \"long production times and long post times. In some cases, when we have characters crossover, it makes it more difficult to manage production. It's not the goal to put out more than one or two [each] year ... The complex one is really \"The Defenders\". \"The Defenders\" production schedule will determine a lot of the season 2 and 3 output of those shows.\" He also noted on potential spin-offs that \"all the characters in the universe could also spin out\" into their own series at some point, with Netflix ordering \"The Punisher\", a spin-off from \"Daredevil\", in April 2016. In May 2015, after starring as Claire Temple in the first season of \"Daredevil\", Rosario Dawson signed with Marvel to return for the second season of the series as part of an \"exclusive TV deal\" that also allowed her to appear in any other Marvel Netflix series as Claire Temple.

When the Marvel-Netflix deal was announced in November 2013, Iger indicated that if the characters proved popular they could go on to star in feature films.

This was not the first instance of actors being cast in multiple roles in the MCU, but this casting was called more \"significant\", and seen by many as a \"disappointing\" indication of \"the growing divide\" and \"lack of more satisfying cooperation\" between Marvel Studios and Marvel Television following the September 2015 corporate reshuffling of Marvel Entertainment that saw Marvel Studios become its own entity under Disney. Eric Carroll, producer on \"\" (2017), felt with the introduction of Queens-based Spider-Man to the MCU it \"would be really fun\" to make mention of the Defenders based in Manhattan, adding, \"it's definitely a card I would love to see played, if not sooner rather than later.\" In January 2017, Vincent D'Onofrio, who portrays Wilson Fisk in \"Daredevil\", said he \"would love to switch over to"}, {"text": "the movies, but I think it's pretty much been said it's not going to happen.

When Feige first announced the crossover film \"\" (2018), he said the opportunity \"certainly\" exists for characters in the Netflix series to appear in that film, and actors such as Krysten Ritter of \"Jessica Jones\" expressed interest in doing this. \"Daredevil\" Charlie Cox revealed that he and other actors with Marvel"}, {"text": "Television were contractually obliged to appear in a Marvel film if asked. \"Infinity War\" co-director Anthony Russo stated that including television characters in \"Infinity War\" would be complicated by Marvel Studios and Marvel Television having separate oversight.

Kevin A.

Netflix canceled both \"Jessica Jones\" and \"The Punisher\" on February 18, 2019. Loeb stated in August 2019 that Marvel Television had been \"blindsided\" by the cancellation of the series which \"weren't finished yet\", and the company had believed that the situation could be an end for them until they had several new series ordered by Hulu in a similar model to the original Marvel-Netflix deal. Loeb said there were future series being developed by Marvel Television that could be classified as \"Marvel Street-Level Heroes\" or \"Marvel Knights\" series just like the Marvel-Netflix series. He added, \"however history's going to remember the story, all that's important to us"}, {"text": "is that we had an opportunity to change television by putting together four heroes, who then joined together in a group\". Sarandos later stated that Netflix clashed with Marvel Television whenever they wanted to \"make the shows bigger or better\". He said Marvel Television was \"thrifty\" and wanted to produce the group of series \"as cheaply as possible\", given they were the producers of the series and would keep whatever was not spent. All of the series were removed from Netflix on March 1, 2022, due to Netflix's license for the series ending and Disney regaining the rights. Disney opted not to have Netflix pay a large licensing fee to retain the distribution rights for the series, and instead announced that all of the series would be made available on Disney+ on March 16 in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, and in Disney+'s other markets by the end of 2022.

Photonic topological phases are classical electromagnetic wave analogues of electronic topological phases studied in condensed matter physics. Similar to electronic topological insulators, the photonic counterpart can provide robust unidirectional channels for light propagation. The field that studies these phases of light is sometimes referred to as topological photonics. History. Topological order in solid state systems has been studied in condensed matter physics since the discovery of integer quantum Hall effect. But topological matter attracted considerable interest from the physics community after the proposals for possible observation of symmetry-protected topological phases (or the so-called topological insulators) in graphene, and experimental observation of a 2D topological insulator in CdTe/HgTe/CdTe quantum wells in 2007. In 2008, Duncan Haldane and Srinivas Raghu proposed that unidirectional electromagnetic states analogous to (integer) quantum Hall states can be realized in nonreciprocal magnetic photonic crystals.

This was followed by the proposals for analogous quantum spin Hall states of electromagnetic waves that are now known as photonic topological insulators.

As an important figure of merit for characterizing the quantized collective behaviors of the wavefunction, Chern number is the topological invariant of quantum Hall insulators. Chern number also identifies the topological properties of the photonic topological insulators (PTIs), thus it is of crucial importance in PTI design.

Screenwriter Steven E. de Souza wrote the screenplay with the mindset of Gruber being the protagonist. Gruber was Alan Rickman's first film role, and he was cast after producer Joel Silver saw him during a Broadway run of \"Les Liaisons Dangereuses\". Rickman was initially reluctant to take the role; once cast, Rickman made suggestions about the character to Silver, such as Gruber wearing a suit rather than terrorist garb.

One such addition is the scene where Gruber pretends to be an escaped hostage, which was added when the production crew discovered Rickman could speak with a convincing American accent. Rickman did not see Gruber as a villain, saying he was \"just playing someone who wants certain things in life, has made certain choices, and goes after them.\" Rickman was nervous filming scenes in which Gruber fires a gun. A blue screen effect was used for Gruber's death scene, compositing the shot of Rickman falling about against a background plate of the plaza surrounding the building. According to visual effects supervisor Richard Edlund, director John McTiernan had to convince Rickman to perform the stunt. They recorded the fall twice and used the first take.

It is then that it is begin to see the need to pass labour legislation that regulates the relations between employers and employees. The first Spanish labour law is the Benot Act of July 24, 1873, passed during the First Republic for the labour protection of children, with the main objective of facilitating their education. From 1874 to 1931, the bourbonic monarchical restoration takes place, approving in this period the Constitution of 1876.

Oyite-Ojok angrily asked Mukooza why he had not joined Bazaalaki's old plot to kill Amin in 1977, prompting the pilot to respond that he had only followed his professional code of conduct as soldier. After this interrogation, Oyite-Ojok ordered Radio Uganda journalist Mukalazi Kyobe to record Mukooza's surrender.

The announcement of the new eight-team men's and women's tournament series in 2019 was not without controversy, with the likes of Virat Kohli criticising the England and Wales Cricket Board for pursuing a shift away from Test cricket, while others argued the format should have followed the established and successful Twenty20 format.

Their name comes from the Regent's Canal, which they pass closely beneath. Constructed as one element of the overarching Thameslink Programme, the Canal Tunnels enabled trains to travel directly from Peterborough and Cambridge to St Pancras, along with numerous other stations in London, Gatwick Airport and down to Brighton and Horsham. They were constructed between 2004 and 2006, while fitting-out was performed between 2013 and 2014.

The tunnels were designed by Halcrow Group, part of the Rail Link Engineering consortium, with safety and resilience in mind. The construction process itself took roughly two years, with civil works commencing in 2004 and completed in 2006. Design and construction of the tunnels were planned to integrate with the adjacent railway engineering works for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link High Speed 1 and redevelopment of the Railway Lands and St Pancras railway station. The tunnels were driven using tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Each bore is in diameter and lined with pre-cast concrete segmental rings. The northbound tunnel is in length, while the southbound tunnel is long; this disparity is due to curvature. The tunnels have a maximal incline of 1 in 34; the nadir is next to the main sump system. Power is normally from supplies for the nearby Midland Main Line however provisions to use those of the ECML were made.

This was largely due to their having been completed well in advance of numerous other Thameslink elements, such as delivery of the new British Rail Class 700 multiple units ordered for the service and other infrastructure works. During this interval, the installation of track, power supply, and signalling systems were performed ahead of the commencement of passenger services. In August 2012, railway infrastructure owner Network Rail announced that the construction company Carillion had been appointed as the principal contractor for the fitting-out of the Canal Tunnels. The fitting-out process commenced during 2013 and was completed during the following year, despite this milestone occurring several years ahead of services running; this was reportedly to facilitate stock movements and to take advantage of available land to facilitate such work.

She was then changed to a unique steam paddle frigate. For some time she was a very famous ship, having a claim to being the first steam frigate. In the end the promise that she would be the first of a line of true steam paddle frigates proved false. Context. In the first decades of the nineteenth century the United Kingdom built many comparatively light sail frigates. \"Penelope\" was one of the last of these. When it became clear that they could not stand up to more modern heavy frigates, some of them, including \"Penelope\", were not finished. Contemporary steam vessels propelled by paddle wheels could match the speed of heavy frigates in most circumstances, but they lacked a comparable armament. Therefore, the major navies spent much money attempting to create a steam frigate. A steam frigate would be a steam vessel with an armament comparable to a heavy frigate. \"Penelope\" was one of the (failed) attempts to create such a ship with paddle wheel propulsion. Characteristics. Design. \"Penelope\" was designed and built as one of the s. At the"}, {"text": "time they were often called s because they were based on the . In 1815 it was decided that the Royal Navy should have 80 frigates, and that they should be of the class and on the lines on \"H\u00e9b\u00e9\". In 1815 six were ordered to \"a modified design that incorporated Sir Robert Seppings's circular stern and \"small-timber\" form of construction,\" hence the name \"improved \"Leda\" class.\" In 1817 another 22 of these were ordered, but two of these were cancelled and three later re-ordered to a different design. Those that were launched were fitted for ordinary and laid up. By 1831 there were 54 of these ships built and building. In 1832 Sir Thomas Hardy pointed out that the \"H\u00e9b\u00e9\"s could not match foreign frigates that had increased their armament. Construction of the rest of the class including \"Penelope\" was then stopped. In 1838 the assistant-surveyor of the navy, John Edye, submitted a plan to convert these frigates into war-steamers. After much discussion, \"Penelope\" was chosen as a ship upon which to conduct the experiment. The design of the converted \"Penelope\" was simple in the basics.

There were two direct acting engines of 650 nominal horsepower combined. They were supplied by Messrs. Seaward & Co. of Limehouse. The paddle wheels had a diameter of . The weight of this machinery was 530 tons. The fuel of 500 tons of coal added another 500 tons of weight. It meant that of the total displacement of 2,766 tons, the hull (1,294 t), machinery and coal took 2,324 tons. Sails. \"Penelope\" retained full sail plan as a steam frigate. Nevertheless, the total weight of masts, rigging and sails was 85 tons as a sailing frigate, and only 25 tons as a steam frigate.

Armament. As built \"Penelope\" was intended to have the same armament as the rest of the \"Leda\" class.

By the time of her conversion to a steam frigate guns had generally increased in calibre and weight. Nevertheless, despite an 88% increase in size, \"Penelope\" as a steam frigate carried a smaller total weight of guns, powder and shot than as a far smaller sailing frigate (132 tons versus 144 tons). Criticism. \"Penelope\" acquired a lot of praise and a lot of criticism. In early 1844 Charles Napier ranted about \"Penelope\", stating that \"sailors called her the Porpoise, for she was always under water, and only came up once every hour to breathe.\" There was even harsher criticism of the original \"Penelope\" and some of her sisters in 1851. The suggestion was that she was already a failure as a sailing frigate. and therefore also failed as a steam frigate.

During the 1960s tensions eased slightly between East and West.

Hotchkiss in his own 1898 book \"History of the Lumber and Forest Industry of the Northwest\" gives a autobiographical account of his life in the 1850s. He explains that he returned to Connecticut late in 1850 with just 25 cents in his pocket. He was hoping to return to California, funded from the profits of an investment in a dam on the American River. The investment did not pay out and in early 1851 he went to Port Dover, Ontario, Canada, where he joined his brother-in-law Henry Wheeler as a lumber dealer serving the Albany, New York, market. He purchased Wheeler's business at Albany in 1855 and added grain commodities as a marketing product.

Hotchkiss moved to nearby Bay City, Michigan, in late 1862. Railroad lines were soon built on the south side of Lake Erie; they took all of the lumber traffic and barges were no longer needed. In late 1863, Hotchkiss joined with Andrew H. Hunter to form Hunter & Hotchkiss, a lumber dealer (the firm later changed names a couple of times). Their successful business towed log booms from Tobico Bay and the Rifle River to Bay City to turn into lumber. While living in Bay City, Hotchkiss was an alderman and town supervisor.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which one's blood sugar levels are elevated. There are two forms of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 is caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 is caused by the underproduction of insulin and the cells in your body becoming resistant to insulin. A low-glycemic diet that is high in fiber is recommended for diabetics because low-glycemic foods digest slower in the body.

Angiogenesis is a process where tumors have their own blood supply in order to feed growing cancer cells. The alliinase containing food group, allium, has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Alliinase is an enzyme, which acts as an angiogenisis-inhibitor and a carcinogen detoxifier. Mushrooms reduce cancer cell and tumor growth and prevent DNA damage. Mushrooms have aromatase inhibitors that decrease the levels of estrogen released in the bloodstream, slowing the production of breast tissue. Fruits and vegetables contain flavonoids, which are anti-carcinogens. Macronutrients. Macronutrients are a class of nutrients that the human body needs in larger amounts in order to function properly and the three main classes of macronutrients include: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats (lipids). The main role of macronutrients besides to make sure the body functions properly is to provide the body with energy in the form of calories. Proteins.

Proteins are found naturally within the body and are found in foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, seeds and nuts, and beans and legumes.

The role of proteins as enzymes and/or hormones is imperative for cell function and physiological processes as simple as growth. Proteins aid in muscle growth, speed up metabolism and lower blood pressure. Proteins are imperative for the body's tissues and organs, working in their function, structure and regulation. Protein's protect the immune system in the form of antibodies, y-shaped proteins that bind to viral, bacterial and parasitic infections, signaling to the rest of the body that there is a foreign cell that should be neutralized. Without antibodies, the body would not be able to target and fight infection. Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are sugars, starches and fibers found in grains, fruits, dairy products and vegetables. Carbohydrates are organic compounds made of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. They help the body's immunology by maintaining blood sugar, which reduces the body's stress response. It is common for people to consume carbohydrate rich foods before working out"}, {"text": "in order to maintain energy and avoid crash afterwards, this is a positive result of having maintained blood sugar. Carbohydrates are also an energy source for cells, act as cell receptors for recognition, and function in cell support. Fats (lipids). Lipids are macromolecules made up of hydrocarbons, there are 3 main types of lipids: triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids. Lipids are hydrophobic molecules, therefore they are only soluble in non-polar solvents. Because of this, lipids do not break down in the body without the use of lipase enzymes, which break down lipids into glycerol and fatty acids. Lipids can be found in oils, dairy products, and some meats, along with in avocados and nuts. Cholesterol is a type of lipid and is an important feature in plasma membranes, which work in regulating immune cell plasticity. Lipids maintain the structure of cell membranes, act as storehouses of energy, maintain body temperature/ aid in homeostasis, are important signaling molecules.

Eicosapentaenioc acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are omega-3 fatty acids, which can be found in marine fish, primarily in salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and sardines and in fish oil. These two fatty acids are important components of cell membranes. It has been shown that they have anti-inflammatory effects in the body. EPA and DHA inhibit production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6; they reduce the expression of adhesion molecules that are involved in inflammation and may modulate and reduce production of prostaglandins and leukotriens from the n-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid. These changes are most likely due to alterations in the lipid rafts on cell membranes, which then further affect signaling cascades and inhibition of activation of the pro-inflammatory transcriptional factor NF-\u03baB.

Your body needs thirteen vitamins, but does produce Vitamin K by the gut microflora and Vitamin D from the sunlight. It is important to note that a lack of vitamins and minerals such as iron will prime the immune system. Indeed, a lack of iron and vitamin A is associated with all cause-mortality and morbidity.

These free radicals are destabilized and are highly reactive, which produces oxidative stress. This oxidative stress is what causes reactions that can damage cells in the body and can cause the cells to lose their function and become pathogenic. Polyphenols. Polyphenols are organic substances that naturally occur in plants. They are important antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. It was demonstrated that curcumin can modulate immunity in many ways, mainly via regulation and inhibition of transcription factors such as nuclear factor NF-\u03baB and activator protein 1 (AP-1). Another polyphenol, resveratrol, also modulates and promotes immune response. Prebiotics and Probiotics. Dietary prebiotics are a fermented ingredient that affect the composition and/or activity of the gut microbiome in a way that is beneficial to the host.

In face of the German Invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939, which marks the beginning of World War II, she and her family fled to east of Poland, namely to Lviv which was Polish at that time. Her father, General Franciszek Sikorski, organized the city's defence. But then the totally unexpected Soviet invasion of Poland began on 17th September, and with it the Soviet repressions of Polish citizens. The female members of the family, Ada, her mother and her sister Maria (b. 1931), were deported to Siberia.

This is achieved through the utilization of mainline Linux-based mobile operating systems, assembly of the phone using screws, and facilitating simplified disassembly for repairs and upgrades. The 2G-4GLTE modem, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and both cameras can be physically switched off. The PinePhone currently ships with the Manjaro Linux operating system using the Plasma Mobile graphic interface, although previously other distributions were shipped, which can still be installed by users. History. Pine64 sold limited editions of the PinePhone, marketed towards developers and early adopters. The phone shipped worldwide with few geographical restrictions. The \"Braveheart\" edition, shipped in January 2020, was the first publicly available version of the phone, providing only a test firmware, so the user could test their phone before installing their operating system of choice. In 2019, Pine64 partnered with existing and well established Linux-on-phone projects to launch a \"Community Edition\" campaign to incentivize software development for the device. Through this partnership, Pine64 donated $10 for each unit sold to the project maintainers. The community edition PinePhones featured a branding on the back cover and shipped with"}, {"text": "a custom box designed by the partnered artists. The \"Mobian\" community edition in February 2021 was the last to be offered. Initially, the PinePhone was only available in one hardware configuration. The enhanced \"Convergence Package\" was introduced with the postmarketOS community edition announcement, featuring increased RAM, additional eMMC storage, and a USB-C dock known as a \"docking bar\". The docking bar is capable of delivering power to the phone via USB-C power-in (3 A 5 V), outputting digital video via HDMI, and has 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet connectivity and two USB 2.0 ports (for example, external storage, mouse and keyboard). In February 2021, Pine64 announced the end of community edition devices, and that the default operating system for the production-ready PinePhone would be Manjaro using the KDE Plasma Mobile graphical environment. The company then introduced the PinePhone Beta Edition several weeks later. The Beta Edition's hardware and pricing was confirmed to be the same as the previous three community edition production runs, and the \"Beta\" was a reference to the software only. Pine64 began pre-orders on March 24, 2021, and began shipping Beta Edition devices in late April. In October 2021, Pine64 announced the PinePhone Pro.

The PinePhone is often compared to other phones shipping with non-Android Linux distributions, especially the Librem 5, which released around the same time, and the WiFi-VoIP phone Necuno, which does not employ a cellular modem. Pine64 promises five years of production. The long production life and sharing a common A64 platform with the PineTab tablet and Pine A64 boards is meant to encourage tinkerers to create mods and DIY projects based on the PinePhone. Hardware. The original PinePhone used an Allwinner A64 processor, which has four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.152 GHz and a Mali-400 MP2 GPU. Its frame and case cover are made of plastic. It has a 5-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front camera, and a USB-C port with USB 2.0 that supports DisplayPort alt-mode. The 3000 mAh battery supports 15 W fast charging and is easily replaced without tools. It uses the same form factor as a Galaxy J7 battery to make it easier to find replacement batteries. Linux distributions configure its LPDDR3 DRAM at clock rates that vary between 552 and 624 MHz. Like the Librem 5, the PinePhone uses separate cellular"}, {"text": "baseband and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chips. Together with the hardware kill switches, this results in larger printed circuit boards (PCBs) and less energy efficiency compared to the mass-produced Android phone that has an integrated System on a Chip, such as the Snapdragon, Helio or Exynos. The PinePhone is thinner at 9.2 mm than the Librem 5 which is 15.5 mm thick because the PinePhone solders its wireless communication chips to the PCB whereas the Librem 5 places the cellular baseband and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth on two removable M.2 cards. Pine64 is the second phone maker (after OpenMoko) to offer booting from a microSD card, which allows users to try out one or more operating systems before installing in the internal flash memory. Another distinctive feature of the PinePhone is the I2C connector under the back cover, which can be used for adding mods to the phone. In 2019 and 2020, Pine64 stated that it was developing four mods: a Psion Series 5-inspired physical keyboard, a 5000 mAh battery, wireless charging and a fingerprint sensor. The PinePhone has six DIP switches under the back cover, the first five of which switch off separately the cellular modem, the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module, the microphone, the rear camera, and"}, {"text": "the front camera. The sixth DIP switch will convert the 3.5 mm headphone jack into a UART serial port, which is the first time this kind of switch has been included in a mobile phone. Circuit schematics of the PinePhone are available. Software. The PinePhone aims to be fully open source in its drivers and bootloader. Despite this, due to the scarcity of open-source components for cellular and wireless connectivity, the firmware for the Realtek RTL8723CS Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, as well as the optional autofocus firmware for the OmniVision OV5640 back camera, remain proprietary software. In order to mitigate potential threats to privacy, these components communicate with the rest of the system only over serial protocols, such as USB 2.0, I2S and SDIO, which do not allow direct memory access (DMA). Use of these protocols also permits them to be physically disconnected via kill switches. In late 2020, Pine64 started an incentive called the \"Nutcracker Challenge\", in order to encourage the development of open-source wireless networking on the BL602 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth board. Some distributions support the use of USB Wi-Fi adapters that use open-source wireless firmware.

Operating systems. The PinePhone relies completely on open-source operating systems developed by external communities, with only the flashing onto the phone done by Pine64 directly. Because these community OS projects were involved in the development of the PinePhone, it has been ported to 19 Linux distributions and seven graphical user interfaces, as of August 2021, such as Ubuntu Touch by UBports, postmarketOS, Mobian (Debian ARM), LuneOS, Nemo Mobile and Maemo Leste. As well as orthodox GNU/Linux, an unofficial porting project, GloDroid, has ported Android 11 to the PinePhone. Genode targeted the device for their Mobile Sculpt operating system whose features include microkernel, capability-based security and a unique graphical configuration system. Difference between PinePhone Community Edition and PinePhone Pro, and controversy. Until 2021, the PinePhone had ports from several Linux Mobile distributions. These ports allowed for an easy installation process (flashing the distribution onto a bootable microSD card) which was convenient to both users and creators of the distributions.

A portion of revenue from each of these branded editions would be passed on by Pine64 to the respective project. In 2021, the PinePhone Pro appeared. This model came with controversial changes that caused one of the main PinePhone engineers to leave the project: The above choices have later been justified by Pine64, responding to the former engineer's blog post as well as criticism of the PinePhone Pro by various Open Source communities. Reception. In August 2020, AndroidPolice reviewed the first Community edition, and beside the title \"The Linux-based PinePhone is the most interesting smartphone I've tried in years\" it touted the number of available distros, and the idea behind communities being provided with the means of developing their OS. In January 2020, ZDNet called the PinePhone hardware \"promising\" and noted the hardware switches. In December 2019, Martins D. Okoi of FossMint said that the first edition of the PinePhone is aimed at Linux-savvy users who would like to test beta operating system builds, but the version for general users should be available in March 2020.
