* Keep. I've re-written the article using four sources, including two non-promotional (actually quite negative) book-reviews and two news articles. This ought to do under WP:BOOKS and WP:GNG even if just barely. In addition, many of the authors are notable and a print run of 8000 copies is decent by Icelandic standards. Haukur (talk) 19:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
* Are these sources book reviews or feature articles? What sort of publications were they published in?E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:35, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
* Sure, let's do an overview. The two key sources here are as follows:
* A book review in the newspaper Dagur by Kolbrún Bergþórsdóttir. This is an independent review of the sort the first part of WP:NBOOK applies to. It's a credible newspaper, a credible journalist (plausibly the best known critic in Iceland) and the review is quite negative which makes it even more obvious that it is not paid promotion or anything like that.
* A book review in the web publication Múrinn by Katrín Jakobsdóttir. This is also a credible (and negative) review; the author is an expert on Icelandic crime fiction.
* Together these two reviews fulfill WP:NBOOK: "The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself." The other two sources (newspaper articles in Morgunblaðið and Dagur) are basically regurgitated press releases and don't matter to establish notability, but they help flesh out the text of the article. Haukur (talk) 00:07, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
* (earlier comment edited slightly) I've now also added a citation to a 2001 book by Katrín Jakobsdóttir which briefly discusses the work. It's such a short discussion that it doesn't add much to the notability case. Haukur (talk) 14:43, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Considerable cuts to the article
I have cut the article down following discussion at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#Detail_about_non-notable_people_in_the_recent_past_-_throughly_referenced,_but? Teahouse]. The relevant policies are WP:WTAF, WP:OR and WP:BLPNAME. In particular I have removed names of non-notable people, some of whom are likely still to be alive or have family living, and the comprehensive coverage of minor events such as accidents and changes to buildings. There is room for more removal of non-notable content and I will leave the "intricate detail" tag in place for now. I hope I have not removed any significant events. Tacyarg (talk) 12:53, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

The present study was aimed to evaluate the essential oil composition of samples of Matricaria chamomilla collected from different regions of Khouzestan. Methods: In this experimental study, samples of Matricaria chamomilla were collected from different regions of Khuzestan at full flowering stage. The component identification was achieved by the Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Total GC running time was 75 min. The components of essential oil were identified on the basis of comparison of their retention time and mass spectra with published data. Moreover, they were identified by computer matching with Wiley 7n, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) libraries provided with computer controlling the GC-MS system, and Adams book in Centrallab of Agriculture and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan. Results: The main oil compounds of samples of Matricaria chamomilla were α-Pinene, Sabinene, β-Pinene, 1,8-Cineole, Citronellol, Aromadendrone, (E).β-farnesene, Spathulenol, Caryophyllene oxide, α-Bisabolone oxide A, α-Bisabolole oxide B, Chamazolene and α-Bisabolole oxide A, collected from different regions of Khouzestan. Also, α-Bisabolone oxide A, Caryophyllene oxide, Chamazolene and α-Bisabolole oxide A were the highest percentage of the main oil compounds of these samples. Conclusions: The Caryophyllene oxide, α-Bisabolone oxide A, Chamazolene, α-Bisabolole oxide A are dominant components in the essential oil of Matricaria chamomilla in weather and geographical conditions of studied samples and different climates are effective on plant essential oil composition.}, keywords = {GC-MS analysis,Major Oil Compounds,Matricaria chamomilla}, url = {http://futurenatprod.skums.ac.ir/article_35210.html}, eprint = {http://futurenatprod.skums.ac.ir/article_35210_897a05746ec178a9cb8102a925aaf7d5.pdf} } | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread around the globe causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Because it affects the respiratory system, common symptoms are cough and breathing difficulties with fever and fatigue. Also, some cases progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The acute phase of COVID-19 has been also related to nervous system symptoms, including loss of taste and smell as well as encephalitis and cerebrovascular disorders. However, it remains unclear if neurological complications are due to the direct viral infection of the nervous system, or they appear as a consequence of the immune reaction against the virus in patients who presented pre-existing deficits or had a certain detrimental immune response. Importantly, the medium and long-term consequences of the infection by SARS-CoV-2 in the nervous system remain at present unknown. This review article aims to give an overview of the current neurological symptoms associated with COVID-19, as well as attempting to provide an insight beyond the acute affectation.

Apple spent $60 billion on American suppliers in 2018
Apple on Monday said it spent $60 billion on 9,000 American component suppliers and companies in 2018, up 10 percent from 2017. Those suppliers supported "more than 450,000 jobs" in the United States in 2018 and have created or supported more than 2 million jobs since 2011, the company said. Apple outlined several of its American suppliers, which it doesn't normally do publicly. It named Kentucky's Corning, which supplies the glass for iPhones and iPads. Skyworks in Massachusetts, Qorvo in Oregon and Broadcom in Colorado all contribute components for wireless communications, Apple said. Cincinnati Test Systems provides technology that helps keep iPhones water-resistant. Finisar, in Sherman, Texas, works on some of the lasers that let iPhones and iPads recognize your face. Apple has pushed to create an image that its products are American and not manufactured only in Chinese factories. Last March, CEO Tim Cook said that Apple didn't need "political pressure to add American jobs " because it has already been supporting careers in the U.S. Last January, Apple announced plans to repatriate $350 billion in overseas cash that it said will contribute to the U.S. economy and will help create 20,000 U.S. jobs. Likewise, Foxconn, one of the companies that produces iPhones in China, is opening a plant in Wisconsin. However, experts have said it's unlikely Apple would ever move its iPhone production line to the U.S. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Bru. I do not, TILL YOU PRACTISE THEM ON ME.
Cas. You love me not.

And the colloquy proceeding, each finally comes to understand the other, appreciates his character and attitude, and the impetuous gallant Cassius exclaims, "Give me your hand;" to which Brutus replies, "And my heart too." Afterwards, with hand and heart united, on the field of Philippi they together upheld the liberties of Rome.
The North and the South, Sir, as I fondly trust, amidst all differences, will ever have a hand and a heart for each other; and, believing in the sure prevalence of Almighty Truth, I confidently look forward to the good time, when both will unite, according to the sentiments of the Fathers and the true spirit of the Constitution, in declaring freedom and not slavery national to the end, that the Flag of the Republic, wherever it floats on sea or land within the national jurisdiction, may not cover a single slave.

For the sake of humanity, therefore, my Lords—and I repeat it—for the sake of humanity—this Trade ought to continue; for how many thousands, how many millions of lives have been saved in the Kingdom of Dahomy! and how much bloodshed has been spared amongst the wretched and miserable victims in that quarter of the globe, thus rescued from the knife.
Mr. Macaulay, that very accommodating Witness, who sometimes inadvertently glances at the truth, has entered into the different causes of Slavery in Africa, and has given a very minute account on the subject of kidnapping, in which, my Lords, he does not dare to insinuate that the British Trader is indirectly concerned.

He is known for his Multi-Instrumental approach to songwriting and performances that can be seen on many of his cover videos. After his debut album 'Here We Be' later that year, the title track 'Here We Be' was placed as semi-finalist in the International Song Of The Year contest.
Musical Style
Consisting mostly of R&B/Pop harmony and grooves, Nic's music has been described as 'plenty of funk and some velvety vocals' as well as being 'comparable to late ‘90s R&B' by TheMusic.

Cleanup/essay
Just two issues that are not according to WP:MOS: use of capitals (mainly in the headers) and the placement of references before final periods. There may be more.
As for essay-like, this essay includes a lot of stuff that has not really anything to do directly with the genetics of domestication. Things like coding/non -coding DNA belong in other articles (and are, indeed, being treated there) and should just be wikilinked, not explained all over again. Similarly, "domesticated species and human history" has nothing whatsoever to do with what this article is supposed to be about. Remember, you're not writing a term paper or a book chapter for some edited book, but a lemma for an encyclopedia. Hope this helps. --Guillaume233 (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
* Gosh, 12 years and no action taken on this helpful comment. I've removed the "Domesticated species and human history" chapter and other materials as off-topic; and more as pure editorialising. The rest of the article is rambling, essay-like and unfocused; it's also poorly-cited and 12 years on also seriously out of date. I think we should remove all the uncited waffle about how advantageous it all is/could one day be, and merge the rest to a short paragraph in Domestication.

The weary horse had dropped back into a shuffling walk, and Frank made no effort to coax or influence him to mending his ways, for he knew it was useless.
"Huh! a stump, more than likely!" he remarked, at the same time searching with his own eyes to see if what Lanky said might be true.
"Perhaps it was, but sure I thought the thing moved. Oh! yes, I'm seein' things all right; but who wouldn't after the funny way we came into possession of this fine outfit. I wonder now if we could get into town without anybody grabbing us? We're a fine pair of birds to be brought into the light, I don't think," and Lanky laughed harshly as he spoke aloud.
"There it is again, Frank," he immediately added, starting back, and pointing along the road.
The other had also noticed something that seemed to flicker, very like a lighted cigar, and at the same time he undoubtedly scented tobacco smoke, which betrayed the presence of some human being near by.
He started to pull in the horse, while Lanky lent valiant assistance, for he had instinctively clutched hold of the lines.
"Oh!" he mouthed, as he saw a dark figure striding forward. | WIKI |
Category:Accidents and incidents involving Deutsche Bahn
Note: this category is now listed under Germany. Deutsche Bahn operates several lines into neighboring countries. Should a DB train accident happen in those, the category needs to be reassigned, split up or other.
Deutsche Bahn (as DB Netz) operates most of the railway infrastructure in Germany, so it is naturally involved in many accidents. The same applies to Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn (that continued to exist after the German Unification) in West and East Germany, before Deutsche Bahn AG was founded in 1994, merging the two. | WIKI |
A study presented at the British Fertility Society Annual Conference and covered by The Guardian reported that transferring two embryos where one is of poor quality would reduce the chance of pregnancy by 27%. It is thought that a bad embryo is rejected by the endometrium, compromising the implantation of both embryos. Cumulative research has supported the notion that egg quality outweighs quantity.
Secondary infertility (SI) is defined by doctors as the inability to conceive or carry to term a second or subsequent child. You may not have heard of it but you probably soon will, because it's on the increase. A US study revealed that, in 1995, 1.8 million women suffered from secondary infertility; in 2006, it was 3.3 million. SI now accounts for six out of 10 infertility cases.
Antisperm antibodies (ASA) have been considered as infertility cause in around 10–30% of infertile couples.[23] In both men and women, ASA production are directed against surface antigens on sperm, which can interfere with sperm motility and transport through the female reproductive tract, inhibiting capacitation and acrosome reaction, impaired fertilization, influence on the implantation process, and impaired growth and development of the embryo. The antibodies are classified into different groups: There are IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies. They also differ in the location of the spermatozoon they bind on (head, mid piece, tail). Factors contributing to the formation of antisperm antibodies in women are disturbance of normal immunoregulatory mechanisms, infection, violation of the integrity of the mucous membranes, rape and unprotected oral or anal sex. Risk factors for the formation of antisperm antibodies in men include the breakdown of the blood‑testis barrier, trauma and surgery, orchitis, varicocele, infections, prostatitis, testicular cancer, failure of immunosuppression and unprotected receptive anal or oral sex with men.[23][24]
Cancer. Although some early studies suggested there may be a link between certain medications used to stimulate egg growth and the development of a specific type of ovarian tumor, more-recent studies do not support these findings. There does not appear to be a significantly increased risk of breast, endometrial, cervical or ovarian cancer after IVF.
Costs of IVF can be broken down into direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include the medical treatments themselves, including doctor consultations, medications, ultrasound scanning, laboratory tests, the actual IVF procedure, and any associated hospital charges and administrative costs. Indirect costs includes the cost of addressing any complications with treatments, patients' travel costs and lost hours of productivity.[142] These costs can be exaggerated by the increasing age of the woman undergoing IVF treatment (particularly those over the age of 40), and the increase costs associated with multiple births. For instance, a pregnancy with twins can cost up to three times that of a singleton pregnancy.[143]
In 2006, Canadian clinics reported an average pregnancy rate of 35%.[11] A French study estimated that 66% of patients starting IVF treatment finally succeed in having a child (40% during the IVF treatment at the centre and 26% after IVF discontinuation). Achievement of having a child after IVF discontinuation was mainly due to adoption (46%) or spontaneous pregnancy (42%).[14]
Very slight elements of risk are associated with any medical intervention but for IVF the most notable risk in the past has been multiple births. The impact of multiple births on birth weight, premature delivery, and post-natal complications is well known. This is largely due to the practice over the past 30 years of transferring two or more embryos during IVF. Thanks to PGT-A testing and Single Embryo Transfer (SET), however, doctors can now feel confident about transferring just one normal embryo. At RMA, we have established SET as the standard of care going forward. With SET, the risk of multiple births is drastically reduced.
IVF success rates are the percentage of all IVF procedures that result in a favourable outcome. Depending on the type of calculation used, this outcome may represent the number of confirmed pregnancies, called the pregnancy rate, or the number of live births, called the live birth rate. The success rate depends on variable factors such as maternal age, cause of infertility, embryo status, reproductive history, and lifestyle factors.

"Celiac disease and reproductive disorders: meta-analysis of epidemiologic associations and potential pathogenic mechanisms". Hum. Reprod. Update. 20 (4): 582–93. doi:10.1093/humupd/dmu007. PMID 24619876. Physicians should investigate women with unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage or IUGR for undiagnosed CD. (...) CD can present with several non-gastrointestinal symptoms and it may escape timely recognition. Thus, given the heterogeneity of clinical presentation, many atypical cases of CD go undiagnosed, leading to a risk of long-term complications. Among atypical symptoms of CD, disorders of fertility, such as delayed menarche, early menopause, amenorrhea or infertility, and pregnancy complications, such as recurrent abortions, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), small for gestational age (SGA) babies, low birthweight (LBW) babies or preterm deliveries, must be factored. (...) However, the risk is significantly reduced by a gluten-free diet. These patients should therefore be made aware of the potential negative effects of active CD also in terms of reproductive performances, and of the importance of a strict diet to ameliorate their health condition and reproductive health.
Abdominal adhesions (scar tissue) bands of scar tissue that form between abdominal organs and tissues. Symptoms of abdominal adhesions are pelvic or abdominal pain. Abdominal adhesions on the intestines can cause bowel obstruction, which is a medical emergency. Treatment for abdominal adhesions is generally surgery to cut the adhesions away from the internal tissues and organs. There is no way to prevent abdominal adhesions.
Oral drugs used to stimulate ovulation include clomiphene citrate and aromatase inhibitors. While taking these drugs, you will be monitored to see if and when ovulation occurs. This can be done by tracking your menstrual cycle or with an ovulation-predictor kit (an at-home urine test). You may be asked to visit your doctor for a blood test or ultrasound exam.
During the second half of your menstrual cycle, the hormone progesterone kicks in to help prepare the lining of your uterus for a fertilized egg. If the egg isn't fertilized and doesn't implant, it disintegrates, progesterone levels fall, and about 12 to 16 days later, the egg -- along with blood and tissues from the lining of the uterus -- is shed from the body. That process is menstruation. It usually lasts 3 to 7 days.
Wondering if it’s time to seek fertility help from a specialist? Your age can help clue you in to the answer. If you’re younger than 35, it’s perfectly normal for it to take six months to a year to conceive. If, after a year, you haven’t accomplished your conception goal, you’ll want to talk with your practitioner and/or get a referral to a fertility specialist. If you’re older than 35, experts recommend that you seek help from a fertility specialist after six months of regularly trying to conceive without birth control — and you may even want to go after three months. If you’re over 40, you’ll probably want to start off your quest for a second pregnancy with a fertility evaluation from your doctor. Ditto if your partner is over 40, since 35 to 40 percent of fertility problems can be traced back to the man, and a guy’s age affects the quality of his sperm.
We don't know what causes most cases of secondary infertility, says Jamie Grifo, M.D., Ph.D., program director of the New York University Fertility Center, in New York City. "The majority of the time, though, it reflects the fact that you're older now, so it's simply more difficult to get pregnant." The reality is that for women, fertility peaks at age 25 and drops by half between ages 30 and 40. As we age, egg quality declines and we're more likely to develop fibroids and endometriosis, which contribute to infertility. Other factors such as adding extra weight, taking new meds, or having surgery since your last pregnancy can be an issue. It may also be that your partner's sperm quality or production is now poor.
The grief and anxiety of SI is, of course, self-perpetuating. You find yourself in a double-bind: you're constantly told that the chances of conceiving are maximised if you can relax and eliminate stress, but it's hard to let go of something so all-consuming, so elemental, as infertility. People were always saying to me: "If you just forgot about it, you'd get pregnant straight away." For the record, this is the most unhelpful thing you can say to someone with fertility problems. West explains that "couples become more and more anxious about the gap [between children]".
Previous tests should be carefully reviewed to ensure that the diagnosis is, in fact, "unexplained," and that no test has been omitted or missed. It may sometimes be necessary to repeat certain investigations. For example, if a previous laparoscopy has been done by a single puncture and reported as normal, it may be necessary to repeat the laparoscopy with a double puncture, to look for early endometriosis.
^ Sher, KS; Jayanthi, V; Probert, CS; Stewart, CR; Mayberry, JF (1994). "Infertility, obstetric and gynaecological problems in coeliac sprue". Dig Dis. 12 (3): 186–90. doi:10.1159/000171452. PMID 7988065. There is now substantial evidence that coeliac sprue is associated with infertility both in men and women. (...) In men it can cause hypogonadism, immature secondary sex characteristics and reduce semen quality. (...) Hyperprolactinaemia is seen in 25% of coeliac patients, which causes impotence and loss of libido. Gluten withdrawal and correction of deficient dietary elements can lead to a return of fertility both in men and women.
Availability of IVF in England is determined by Clinical commissioning groups. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends up to 3 cycles of treatment for women under 40 years old with minimal success conceiving after 2 years of unprotected sex. Cycles will not be continued for women who are older than 40 years old.[156] CCGs in Essex, Bedfordshire and Somerset have reduced funding to one cycle, or none, and it is expected that reductions will become more widespread. Funding may be available in "exceptional circumstances" – for example if a male partner has a transmittable infection or one partner is affected by cancer treatment. According to the campaign group Fertility Fairness at the end of 2014 every CCG in England was funding at least one cycle of IVF".[157] Prices paid by the NHS in England varied between under £3,000 to more than £6,000 in 2014/5.[158] In February 2013, the cost of implementing the NICE guidelines for IVF along with other treatments for infertility was projected to be £236,000 per year per 100,000 members of the population.[159]
Studies show that sperm count and sperm movement decrease as men age, as does sexual function. But there isn't a cutoff age that makes a man too old to father a child. One study found that it took men age 45 or older longer to get a woman pregnant once the couple started trying. If your partner is older, you may want to talk to your doctor about ways to boost your chances.
Luteal support is the administration of medication, generally progesterone, progestins, hCG, or GnRH agonists, and often accompanied by estradiol, to increase the success rate of implantation and early embryogenesis, thereby complementing and/or supporting the function of the corpus luteum. A Cochrane review found that hCG or progesterone given during the luteal phase may be associated with higher rates of live birth or ongoing pregnancy, but that the evidence is not conclusive.[79] Co-treatment with GnRH agonists appears to improve outcomes,[79] by a live birth rate RD of +16% (95% confidence interval +10 to +22%).[80] On the other hand, growth hormone or aspirin as adjunctive medication in IVF have no evidence of overall benefit.[30]

Watcom C/386 9.0's implimentation of getch() and kbhit() are broken. Watcom tech support knows this, and it will be fixed in the next release. If you don't want to wait until the next release to use these functions you could use the ones that I wrote (which I've tacked onto the end of this posting).

Summary: Hive Rolling Upgrade Is No Longer Supported In Ambari
Key: AMBARI-18591
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-18591
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Task
Components: ambari-server
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Reporter: Jonathan Hurley
Assignee: Jonathan Hurley
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 2.5.0
HS2 RU expects all users to be using zookeeper based JDBC URLs. However, few
users are using these new Zookeeper discovery urls and they use the old format,
directly specifying the hostname and port number for the HS2 instance it
connects to. During RU, the HS2 port number changes and users using old url
have an outage. Hive needs to be able to support RU without changing the port.
Due to too many Hive Client user outages as a result of the RU workflow for
HIve, the decision is to just change RU to bounce the HS2 process, knowing that
there will be down time and causing all active queries to fail. So the runbook
for the HS2 process will look like:
* We will no longer change the Hive port at all during either RU or EU.
* During an RU, we will present a message if Hive is present that indicates
that Hive is not rolling and it will be taken down.
* Run the Hive deregister command to remove the ZK entries for the Hive Servers
* Hive will be shutdown, without draining, during an RU and a new instance
started up on the same port.
In addition, we need to remove the warnings that were added as part of
AMBARI-17319.

How to Install
Installation Options
Tiny Core Linux does not require a hard drive to function. It runs from RAM by default. Xiaopan can run with a minimum of 64mb of RAM, although you should allocate much more than this unless you don’t have anymore. Boot into it like how you boot into Windows (easiest, fastest performance) and requires no VM software: See Here.
Parallels (Best VM software): Select ‘Other Linux Kernel 2.6’ when importing the iso. You can Download the Parallels Image 0.4.1 (.pvm) which should be faster and be able to save settings (download password: dishingtech). Tested and works on VMware, VirtualBox and Parallels Desktop. Works on Mac, should work just as good on Windows. v0.4.3 should be released within the next few weeks.
VMware (Alternative VM): Import the iso and Select the ‘Guest operating system’ as Linux. Use the appropriate Other-type version for the kernel used. Tiny Core Linux 3.x by default uses Linux kernel 2.6.33.3 32-bit so the appropriate choice is ‘Other 2.6x Linux (32-bit)’ Source: TCL Wiki

Linear octree
A linear octree is an octree that is represented by a linear array instead of a tree data structure.
To simplify implementation, a linear octree is usually complete (that is, every internal node has exactly 8 child nodes) and where the maximum permissible depth is fixed a priori (making it sufficient to store the complete list of leaf nodes). That is, all the nodes of the octree can be generated from the list of its leaf nodes. Space filling curves are often used to represent linear octrees. | WIKI |
Óscar García (footballer, born 1973)
Óscar García Junyent (born 26 April 1973), known simply as Óscar as a player, is a Spanish former professional footballer, currently manager of Belgian club Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
He was a versatile attacking option as a player, able to feature as an attacking midfielder or a second striker. He spent most of his 14-year professional career with Barcelona, with relative impact, appearing for four other clubs. In La Liga, he amassed totals of 169 matches and 31 goals over 12 seasons, also representing Espanyol (four years), Albacete, Lleida and Valencia (one apiece).
García started working as a manager in 2009, going on to work in seven countries. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv and two consecutive Bundesliga and Cup doubles with Red Bull Salzburg.
Club
Born in Sabadell, Barcelona, Catalonia, Óscar made his professional debut with FC Barcelona, his local team. Between 1992 and 1994 he played five La Liga matches for Barça who were champions each year and, after a loan at fellow top-division club Albacete Balompié, he returned and was often used (with good results) in a variety of attacking roles: during the 1995–96 season he scored ten league goals, the most in the squad, even though he only started eleven of his 28 appearances; the team came out empty in silverware, however.
With his role gradually diminishing, Óscar joined Valencia CF for one season, finishing off with Barcelona neighbours RCD Espanyol (teaming up again with his brother Roger, for three seasons) and UE Lleida and retiring in June 2005 at the age of 32. On 7 January 2001, whilst playing for the second club against CD Numancia, he was taken to hospital after swallowing his tongue.
Óscar nearly signed for West Ham United in summer 2002, but an eventual deal fell through after a one week's trial and he returned to Espanyol, with whom he never scored more than one goal per season in four years.
International
For Spain, Óscar appeared for the nation at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, scoring twice for the eventual quarter-finalists.
Maccabi Tel Aviv and England
In late 2009, García joined former Barcelona coach Johan Cruyff's coaching staff in the Catalonia national team, as the Dutchman had just been appointed. On 22 May 2012, he received his first head coach appointment, signing a two-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv FC, where Cruyff's son Jordi acted as sporting director. Exactly one year later, after leading the club to the Israeli Premier League after a ten-year drought, he resigned from his post citing personal reasons.
García was unveiled as the new head coach of Football League Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion on 26 June 2013, replacing Gus Poyet. His first win came on 17 August, 1–0 at Birmingham City; he was November's Manager of the Month, with three wins and a draw. On 12 May 2014, following their play off semi-final defeat to Derby County, his offer of resignation was accepted by the board.
On 2 June 2014, García returned to Maccabi by signing a two-year contract, but left on 26 August due to ongoing war. A week later he was appointed at Watford, replacing Giuseppe Sannino. He was admitted to hospital with minor chest pains on 15 September, forcing him to miss the team's upcoming match with Blackpool. These health problems eventually led to him stepping down, two weeks later.
Red Bull Salzburg
Austrian double holders FC Red Bull Salzburg hired García on 28 December 2015, following the dismissal of Peter Zeidler. His team, for which fellow Spaniard Jonathan Soriano was the main striker, ended the season as national champions. On 19 May the latter scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 cup final victory over FC Admira Wacker Mödling to seal another double.
In 2016–17, Salzburg retained both major honours. After the loss of Soriano, García built the attack around South Korean Hwang Hee-chan.
Saint-Étienne
On 15 June 2017, AS Saint-Étienne signed García to a two-year contract. In November, however, following a 5–0 home loss against Olympique Lyonnais in the Derby du Rhone, he left the club by mutual agreement.
Olympiacos
Olympiacos F.C. announced García as their new manager on 5 January 2018, to replace Takis Lemonis. His contract was terminated by mutual consent on 3 April, following a 1–1 away draw with Levadiakos FC; the side had also been eliminated from the Greek Cup for a third consecutive year, and he was held partially responsible for the lack of dressing room, training and match discipline.
Celta
García had his first head coach experience in Spain in November 2019, when he took over for Fran Escribá at RC Celta de Vigo who stood third from the bottom in the standings. His team stayed up on the last day of the season, as CD Leganés could not win their fixture.
On 9 November 2020, after only one win in nine matches of the new campaign, García was dismissed.
Reims
García returned to the French Ligue 1 in June 2021, being appointed at Stade de Reims on a three-year deal. Starting with a goalless draw at OGC Nice on 8 August, he won on his fifth attempt with a 2–0 victory at Stade Rennais FC.
García's one full season at the Stade Auguste-Delaune resulted in a 12th-place finish. He was relieved of his duties on 13 October 2022, with his team 15th in the table, and was replaced by assistant Will Still.
OH Leuven
On 3 November 2023, García was hired at Oud-Heverlee Leuven, taking over a club in the Belgian Pro League relegation zone after 12 games.
Personal life
García's brothers, Roger and Genís, were also footballers. All youth products of Barcelona, they had however different fates as professionals (especially the latter).
On 17 June 1997, during the final of the Copa Catalunya, all three appeared with the first team in a 3–1 loss to CE Europa.

Thomas McMillan (Canadian politician)
Thomas Michael McMillan, (born October 15, 1945) is a Canadian political scientist and former politician who served as Minister of the Environment from 1985 to 1988. A member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, he was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Hillsborough from 1979 until 1988. McMillan is a graduate of St. Dunstan's University (now part of the University of Prince Edward Island) and Queen's University (master's in political studies) and has a doctorate in humane letters, honoris causa, from Bridgewater State University.
Biography
Born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, McMillan was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1979 general election as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Hillsborough, Prince Edward Island. He was re-elected in the 1980 and 1984 elections. He served as Deputy House Leader from 1983 to 1984 under Leader of the Opposition Brian Mulroney.
Following the Tory landslide in the 1984 general election, Mulroney appointed McMillan to Cabinet as Minister of State for tourism. A year later McMillan was named Minister of the Environment, replacing the controversial Suzanne Blais-Grenier. As Environment Minister, McMillan spearheaded the Mulroney government's creation of five new national parks (Ellesmere Island, Pacific Rim, Bruce Peninsula, Gwaii Haanas, and Grasslands); ushered through Parliament through a comprehensive federal environmental law (the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, CEPA); overhauled the Canadian National Parks Act; launched a major national program to combat acid rain from all sources (both industry and transportation); slashed allowable motor-vehicle nitrogen oxide exhaust emission levels in Canada; outlawed lead in motor vehicle gasoline; assembled, and then chaired, in 1987, the world conference that produced the milestone Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, described by then-United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan as "perhaps the single most successful international agreement to date." He also hosted the landmark 1988 World Climate Change Conference, in Toronto. In the spring of 1988, McMillan was Graves Lecturer and Hoyt Fellow at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut
For McMillan's national and global environmental leadership, he was named by Outdoor Canada magazine, in 1990, one of three people who, in the previous decade, "did the most to protect Canada's natural environment;" the U.S. Sierra Club bestowed on him, in 1988, its prestigious Edgar Wayburn Award; he received, also in 1988, the Canadian Governor General's Conservation Award; and, in 1992, he was awarded the Governor General's Canada Medal for "distinguished service to Canada." In the autumn of 1990, McMillan was Distinguished Lecturer, Distinguished Lecturer Series, International Institute for Protected Areas Management, at the Universities of both Alberta and Calgary. In June 2019, at its annual Gala Awards Dinner, Corporate Knights ("The Company for Clean Capitalism," which represents Fortune 500-type companies committed to sustainable development) bestowed on McMillan its Award of Distinction for his pivotal role in the Montreal Protocol.
After leaving the Environment portfolio, he remained active in international, national, and local issues alike, including built heritage preservation. When in 1981 an historic bank building in his riding was demolished, there was an outcry from concerned citizens, among them McMillan. He summed up the loss of this historic structure, "The actions of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Charlottetown have been decidedly more imperial than Canadian." He became increasingly active in such preservation causes in Prince Edward Island. These included the restoration of a unique pre-Confederation brick powder magazine—located in Brighton Compound in Charlottetown—the demolition of which the Canadian Army had begun until McMillan led a public campaign to stop it.
McMillan remained Environment minister until he was defeated in the 1988 general election due to opposition to the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement among his constituents. In August 1989, McMillan was appointed Canada's consul-general to Boston. Canadian Consul General to New England, at Boston, McMillan was awarded an honorary doctorate by Bridgewater State University in 1993 for—in the words of its president, Dr. Adrian Tinsley -- "significant accomplishment on behalf of Canada in support of strong, enduring Canadian-American cooperation and ties." He maintained his involvement in politics, and attempted unsuccessfully to regain his seat in the 1993 general election. At the urging of the new Progressive Conservative Party leader, Jean Charest, a close friend and former Mulroney government Cabinet colleague, McMillan reluctantly attempted another comeback, this time in the 1997 general election, in the riding of Peterborough, Ontario. But he was defeated by Liberal candidate Peter Adams and (very narrowly) by the Reform Party's Nancy Branscombe.
Prior to entering electoral politics, in the late 1970s, McMillan was, successively, Policy Secretary to Rt. Hon. Robert L. Stanfield, Leader of the Official Opposition in the Canadian House of Commons; an executive officer of the Ontario Human Rights Commission; and Senior Research Associate of the national Commission on Canadian Studies, established by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC). Among his many publications is, with other authors, Tom Symons: A Canadian Life (Ottawa University Press: 2011),the professional biography of Trent University's founding president, edited by historian Dr.Ralph Heintzman. Among private sector and community services, McMillan has been chairman of the Book and Periodical Development Council of Canada and headed the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Task Force on the Environment and Economy.
McMillan wrote a bestselling book (Maclean's magazine list for several weeks), part memoir and part political analysis, entitled Not My Party: The Rise and Fall of Canadian Tories from Robert Stanfield to Stephen Harper, published by Nimbus Publishing in 2016.
McMillan has three daughters, resides in Boston, as a permanent resident of the United States, but retains his Canadian citizenship and continues to be active in Canadian and American issues as a university lecturer, writer, and consultant.

User:JayJ47/2010:Year In Music
This is a page documenting the year in music for 2010. All information refers to my chart and does not relate to any other official charts and thus the info presented here should not be included in music-related articles on wikipedia.
Chart Hiatus: January-July
In January 2010, the chart went on a hiatus which ended in August 2010 with the introduction of several new charts. However as of October 14, 2010, only one chart (JayJ47's Top 20 Countdown) remains active as the rest have been discontinued.
Notable Achievements
The year has been particularly successful for the following artists:
* Eminem's song, "Love The Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna, debuted at #1 on the singles chart following the chart's return after its six month hiatus. The song eventually spent three consecutive weeks at #1 and has been certified 2x Platinum for earning more than 1,200 ranking points.
* Flo Rida earned his first chart topper when his single, "Club Can't Handle Me" peaked at #1 after four weeks on the chart. It has been certified 2x Platinum for earning more than 1,200 ranking points. His most successful singles, "Low" and "Right Round" had peaked at #2 in 2008 and #5 in 2009 respectively.
* Rihanna earned her first number-one hit of the year when her collaboration with Eminem ("Love The Way You Lie") topped the charts for three consecutive weeks. Meanwhile, her other song, "Rockstar 101" peaked at #4 becoming her first song to miss the top 2 since 2007's "Break It Off". She later scored her first #1 hit of the year as a lead artist and second chart topper overall when her single, "Only Girl (In The World)" reached #1 for three consecutive weeks. Her follow-up single, "What's My Name?" featuring American rapper Drake, debuted at #20 on the singles chart and has so far peaked at #2 becoming her second consecutive top 2 single from her album Loud.
* Bruno Mars's debut single, "Just The Way You Are" debuted at #15 on the singles chart before peaking at #1 six weeks later becoming his first #1 hit on the chart. It was certified 2x Platinum for earning more than 1,200 ranking points. His next single, "Grenade" debuted at #6 on the singles chart and eventually peaked at #1 after three weeks on the chart, becoming his second consecutive chart topper.
* Katy Perry earned her fourth top five hit on the chart when her song, "California Girls" peaked at #4. Her follow-up single, "Teenage Dream" became her second chart topper when it peaked at #1 on the singles chart for two weeks. Her next single, "Firework" has performed just as well as its predecessors peaking at #2 on the singles chart.
* B.o.B earned his first top 10 hit when his collaboration with Haley Williams ("Airplanes") debuted and peaked at #9 on the singles chart, although it most likely would have performed better had the charts been active earlier in the year. His follow-up single, "Magic" debuted at #16 on the singles chart and peaked at #2 in its third week becoming his highest charting single to date.
* Ke$ha enjoyed continued success when her single, "Take It Off" peaked at #4 on the singles chart. Her next single, "We R Who We R" performed even better by becoming her second #1 hit on the chart after 2009's "Tik Tok".
* Adam Lambert scored his first top 2 hit when his single, "If I Had You" peaked at #2 on the singles chart. It was eventually certified 2x Platinum. His next song, "For Your Entertainment" performed just as well becoming his second consecutive top 3 hit, by peaking at #3 on the singles chart. It was certified Platinum for earning more than 600 ranking points.
* P!nk debuted at #9 with her song, "Raise Your Glass". It eventually peaked at #2 after four weeks on the chart. Her next single, "Fuckin' Perfect" debuted and peaked at #2 for three consecutive weeks on the singles chart.
* The Black Eyed Peas earned their eighth chart topper when their single, "The Time (Dirty Bit)" held the top spot for one week in its third week on the chart.
* Guy Sebastian scored his first chart topper since 2004's "All I Need Is You" when his single, "Who's That Girl?" featuring rapper, Eve peaked at #1 for two weeks in December.
* The Glee Cast scored their first top ten hit when their cover of "The Only Exception" by Paramore ascended to a peak of #6 on the singles chart. In fact, their version out-peaked Paramore's own rendition of the song which peaked at #18. The Glee Cast later scored their first #1 hit when their cover of "Marry You" originally performed by Bruno Mars debuted at #1 on the singles chart in mid December.
Certifications System
* However, certain exceptions are made. If a song earns at least 512 ranking points but drops off the chart the following week, it will be certified Platinum despite not earning 600 ranking points. Similarly, if a song earns 254 ranking points but drops off the chart the following week, it will be certified Gold despite not earning 300 points. This rule also applies to multi-platinum certifications.

Lexie Lou
Lexie Lou (foaled February 26, 2011 in Ontario) is a Canadian Thoroughbred racehorse. In 2014, she won the Queen's Plate and two legs of the Canadian Triple Tiara on her way to winning three Sovereign Awards. She has also won three graded stakes in the United States and Canada, and finished second to American Horse of the Year California Chrome in the 2014 Hollywood Derby. In 2019, Lexie Lou was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.
Background
Lexie Lou was bred by Paradox Farm in Ontario. Her dam is Oneexcessivenite, a California bred mare who won 4 times in 18 starts, and whose three previous foals were all unraced. Lexie Lou's sire, Sligo Bay, is an Irish bred son of leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland Sadler's Wells and has been a moderate success at stud in Canada.
Lexie Lou was sold to John Ross for $5,577 at the 2012 Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society yearling sale. Ross was her owner and trainer during her two-year-old campaign in 2013. She was sold after her first start of 2014 to Gary Barber, the chairman and CEO of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), for $300,000. She was then moved to the barn of Mark Casse, who at the time had already won six Sovereign Awards as outstanding trainer.
2013: two-year-old season
In 2013, Lexie Lou raced eight times, all at Woodbine racetrack, in races for Canadian-bred fillies. She won three times and finished second twice. On August 28, she was awarded the Muskoka Stakes by disqualification after finishing second by a nose. She then finished second in both the Victorian Queen and Princess Elizabeth Stakes before winning the South Ocean Stakes by three lengths. She was the favorite for the Ontario Lassie Stakes on December 14 but finished third, a neck and a nose behind the first two filles.
2014: three-year-old season
Lexie Lou started her three-year-old season by finishing fourth in the Star Shoot Stakes. Watching her that day was Barber, who was so impressed by the way she kept running after the finish line that he asked Casse to buy her. Racing for her new connections, Lexie Lou entered the 7-furlong Fury Stakes on May 10 as the favorite. She made a strong move going three wide around the far turn, but could not quite catch the front-runners and finished third by just over half a length.
On June 15, Lexie Lou stamped herself as one of the best three-year-old fillies in Canada by winning the Woodbine Oaks by $4 1/2$ lengths. Her time of 1:49.77 for $1 1/8$ miles was a full second faster than the colts had run earlier that day in the Plate Trial, the major prep race for the Queen's Plate. It was her first time racing without blinkers, a change that helped her relax during the race.
The Woodbine Oaks is the first leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara for three-year-old Canadian-bred fillies. Rather than race in the second leg of the Tiara, the Bison City Stakes, Lexie Lou's connections decided to race her against the colts in the CDN$1 million Queen's Plate. Later, she would bypass the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the Prince of Wales Stakes, to enter the third leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara, the Wonder Where Stakes. The scheduling options meant she did not have a chance to win either the Crown or Tiara, though she would go on to win three Canadian classics that year.
For the Queen's Plate on July 6, Lexie Lou was the lone filly in a field of 15 and was made the 3-1 second choice by the bettors. Lexie Lou broke from post position 14 and settled towards the back of the pack for the first half mile. She then started to make up ground down the backstretch, moved to second around the far turn and hit the front heading into the stretch. She then held off Ami's Holiday to win by $1 1/2$ lengths, becoming the sixth filly to complete the Oaks/Plate double.
It was the first Queen's Plate win for trainer Casse and the second for jockey Patrick Husbands, who became convinced the filly would win after he breezed her the day before the race.
On August 10, Lexie Lou made her first start on the turf in the Wonder Where Stakes for Canadian-bred fillies. After breaking well, she saved ground while rating in fourth behind a moderate pace. Exiting the final turn, she had several lengths to make up on the leader but responded to urging from Husbands to win commandingly.
In the Canadian Stakes on September 14, Lexie Lou faced older fillies and mares for the first time. It was also her first time in an unrestricted stakes race. On a turf course labeled good, she raced close to the lead for the first half mile but then faded to last.
On October 25, Lexie Lou traveled to Santa Anita Park for her first start outside Canada in the Grade III Autumn Miss Stakes. Her connections felt that she would be helped by the firmer turf in California compared to the conditions at Woodbine in the Canadian Stakes. Now ridden by Corey Nakatani, she made a powerful run down the stretch to win by $1 1/4$ lengths in a good time of 1:33.70 for one mile. It was her first graded stakes victory.
On November 29, Lexie Lou stepped up in class by entering the Grade I Hollywood Derby at Del Mar. After racing in the middle of the pack for much of the race, she moved to the outside in the stretch and started to close rapidly. She finished second, just two lengths behind eventual American Horse of the Year California Chrome, who had earlier won that year's Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. Nakatani said, "You've got to tip your cap to the winner. He's a heckuva horse. But my filly is a real runner. She fired it up today."
Lexie Lou was named the 2014 Canadian Horse of the Year, as well as winning Sovereign Awards as champion three-year-old filly and champion turf mare. Casse would also win another Sovereign Award for outstanding trainer.
2015: four-year-old season
On January 17, Lexie Lou debuted as a four-year-old in the La Canada Stakes at Santa Anita Park as the even money favorite. It was her first race on a natural dirt surface: previously she had raced on either turf or Woodbine's all weather Polytrack surface. She broke well but reacted poorly when another horse sprinted in front of her for the early lead, causing dirt to be kicked in her face. She rallied late though to finish second. Jockey Corey Nakatani thought it was a promising performance, and that she would improve with longer distances.
After competing in nine stakes races in nine months, Lexie Lou was given some time off, then resumed training for an August return to the track. Shortly before her scheduled race on August 26, she injured her eye and had to be scratched.
2016: five-year-old season
Lexie Lou finally returned to the racetrack on January 13 in an Allowance Optional Claiming race at Tampa Bay, finishing third. She then finished a disappointing sixth in the Grade III South Endeavour Stakes, also at Tampa Bay, then finished third in another allowance optional claimer, this time at Woodbine.
On May 29, Lexie Lou returned to form in the Grade II Nassau Stakes at one mile on the turf. Sent off at odds of 12-1, she rated off the pace in third, then outkicked Mississippi Delta in the stretch to win by $3/4$ length. In her first victory since October 2014, the time was an excellent 1:32.98. "She's a funny filly," said Husbands. "You've got to play with her mind. You've got to let her do what she wants to do. Last time when I rode her, nobody wanted the lead, and she took the lead and quit. She's happy to be back home. She's a nice filly. She's a little champion."
On June 11, she shipped to Belmont Park for the Grade I Just A Game Stakes. She raced wide just off a quick pace, but could not keep up when asked for run in the stretch. She finished tenth, but just $7 1/4$ lengths behind the winner, Celestine, who completed the mile in an exceptional 1:31.64.
On July 3, Lexie Lou entered the Grade II Dance Smartly Stakes at Woodbine as the second betting choice. She went to the early lead and opened up a three length lead going into far turn. When they entered the stretch, she appeared to be fading as her lead shrank to only one length, but she rallied in the final furlong to win by $1 1/4$ lengths. She completed the race of "about" $1 1/8$ miles in 1:44.89.
On July 30, Lexie Lou won the Victoriana Stakes in wire-to-wire fashion. It would prove her final start as she did not come out of the race showing her normal behaviour. "She owes us nothing," Casse said. "She’s a great filly. I was reflecting upon her today and thinking she’s probably one of the best horses I’ve ever trained. Not too many horses can do what she did in overcoming a year layoff. She could run on the turf, she could run on the synthetic, and the one time I ran her on the dirt, she ran pretty good. She’s just a remarkable filly that I’ll always remember."
Lexie Lou received the 2016 Sovereign Award for Champion Turf Female Horse.
Retirement
Lexie Lou was entered in the 2016 Keeneland November Sale as a prospective broodmare. She sold for $1 million to KI Farm owned by Tomoyuki Nakamura. She was bred to Frankel in 2017 before being sent to Japan. Lexie Lou was named into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2019.
Pedigree
Lexie Lou is inbred 4S × 5D to Nearctic, meaning Nearctic appears once in the fourth generation of the sire's side of Lexie's Lou's pedigree and once in the fifth generation of the dam's side. She is also inbred 4S x 5S to Hail to Reason, and 5S x 5S to Almahmoud | WIKI |
Rendon, Kendrick help Nationals beat Royals
Anthony Rendon broke a tie with an RBI double and pinch-hitter Howie Kendrick added a two-run double two batters later as the Washington Nationals scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to escape with a 5-2 win over the visiting Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon. The win allowed the Nationals to take two of three in the series and complete a 5-1 homestand. Meanwhile, the Royals lost for the sixth time in their last seven games. After Kansas City had rallied into a 2-2 tie in the top of the inning, Adam Eaton got the bottom of the eighth rolling for the Nationals with a one-out single against Jake Diekman (0-6). Rendon followed with his double to give Washington the lead. After an error on Diekman put runners on first and third with still just one out, Kendrick laced his pinch-hit double to left field, extending the lead to 5-2. Sean Doolittle (6-2), who allowed a game-tying double to Alex Gordon in the top of the eighth, was credited with the win after being dinged with his fourth blown save. Solo home runs by Brian Dozier, his 14th, and Victor Robles (13th) gave the Nationals a 2-0 lead headed into the eighth. But Washington pulled starter Patrick Corbin at that point, and the Royals rallied against the Nationals’ bullpen. A two-out, run-scoring single by Adalberto Mondesi off Fernando Rodney got the Royals within 2-1 and brought on Doolittle, who then served up the game-tying double to Gordon. Doolittle, who was seeking his 20th save, retired Hunter Dozier with the potential go-ahead run on base to end the eighth, then worked around a Cheslor Cuthbert one-out single in the ninth to preserve his own win. Seeking a third straight win, Corbin shut out the Royals on five hits over seven innings. He struck out 11 and did not walk a batter. The left-hander finished the first half with four straight outstanding starts, allowing a total of three runs and 18 hits in 28 innings, with 35 strikeouts. Like Corbin, Royals right-hander Jakob Junis did not get a decision after a strong effort. He was charged with two runs on five hits in seven innings. He walked two and struck out six. Robles had two hits for the Nationals, who finished the first half winning six of seven and 10 of 12 to go a season-best five games over .500 at 47-42. Gordon and Cuthbert had two hits apiece for the Royals, who out-hit the Nationals 9-8. —Field Level Media | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Talk:Ural Mountains
Old text
Naming convention: isn't it more usual to wirte "Ural Mountains" ? Why create the link Uralskiy Khrebet instead of Uralskiy khrebet, by the same principle? --Anon
* Good question. The wikipedia naming convention is to not captitalize second, third, fourth, etc. words if they are not always capitalized in grammatically correct English. As for the Russian name, that was me playing around -- I don't foresee anyone linking to either Uralskiy Khrebet or Uralskiy khrebet within an article within the English wikipedia. --maveric149
It seems like it could be argued either way, so given a redirect it makes no great difference. It's no harder than deciding the "right" spelling of Mohammed, civilisation or honor: the person who creates the article should get to choose (I did create Ural Mountains BTW but I don't care enough to change it back, given the redirect :-) --Anon
* Its not as simple as that -- the reason why we have naming conventions is to reduce the amount of duplicated effort. For example, the page titled Ural mountains did not exist before I created it -- even as a redirect. It was only after I created this naming convention compliant page that I found that another stub existed at Ural Mountains. Most others would not have checked. See the section about this in naming conventions. Redirects are useful, but shouldn't have to be made for every variation in capitalization each time an article is made. Cheers! --maveric149, Sunday, April 28, 2002
Hmm, I've added and "when all else fails" section to the naming conventions. Please take a look and see if you agree. --Anon.
I had another thought about this: "Ural mountains" seems incorrect, since either "mountains" is a disambiguation, in which case it should be "Ural (mountains)", or mountains is part of the name of the place, in which case it should be "Ural Mountains". --Anon.
* Now that's silly. English speakers do not call the Urals Ural so the use of a parenthetical name would be counter intuitive. The range is best known as the Ural Mountains -- however, since the "m" is not always capitalized, then, per wikipedia naming conventions it should be lowercase for the main article. The term Urals is less clear and therefore inferior to the two word name. --maveric149
Yes, Ural (mountains) would be silly. But in English it's normal to capitalize placenames: hence Ural Mountains is the more correct version and Ural mountains should be the redirect. --Anon.
It seems to me the Wikipedia naming convention is either wrong or is being applied here where it isn't applicable --Anon.
The motivation behind the rule was to instill in the minds of contributers to "when in doubt don't use capitals". There is a very strong tendency in many (if not most) newbies to capitalize everything. The reason is understandable -- the text at the top of the page is the title of the page and titles are capitalized in English. Makes sense. However, this is a wiki, and the whole point of a wiki is to make linking easy and second nature (see naming conventions) and not to either force people to use pipes so that direct links can be made to an article or have Improperaly and Odly Capitalized Words Within the Text of an Article (see naming conventions). Place names, perhaps, should have a separate convention. But then you would have to capitalize such things as Manzanar Japanese internment camp to Manzanar Japanese Internment Camp, which improperly gives the impression that the wording of "Internment Camp" is part of a proper name of the place. In fact the proper name of the place is "Manzanar National Historic Landmark". The current name of the article reflects what most English speakers would expect the article to be named and therefore would be the most likely candidate to be directly linked to in another article without much effort or knowledge. --maveric149
* I think all this should be spelled out in the naming convention then, e.g., all place names are lower-cased even if it would require writing grammatically incorrect sentences to link (there's a note there pointing to further discussion but the link is broken). So the example above will be Manzanar national historic landmark or Manzanar japanese internment camp. -- Anon.
One would never have the word Japanese be lower case. And the historic landmark title is the proper name given to it by the Park Service. --maveric149
Looks like the "pages that link here" of redirects will soon be part of the "pages that link here" for the target of the redirects -- therefore it is no longer necessary to be so absolutist about the lowercase naming convention. This rule should probably be updated to say "most common capitalization seen in the body of most English text". --maveric149, Friday, May 3, 2002
Others
The words concluding this article seem suspiscious to me--there really is a section of the Urals called the Crappy urals? Is this a linguistic thing that is really name like that or did somebody just decide to come along and add that inconspicuously as a joke? Can someone verify this?
* Turns out it was a bit of vandalism that managed to slip under the radar. Someone replaced "Subarctic" with "Crappy" on the 20th. I've reverted the change; you can see both edits under this article's page history. To learn how to revert vandalism yourself, see How to revert a page to an earlier version.

Fauna and flora pictures
The pics were taken very far from the Urals, in some cases in Canada, therefore I doubt that it is encyclopedic to keep them in this article without further comments, they don't show us the Urals after all, and may well depict uncharacteristic surrounding vegetation, rocks, soil, or wrong subspecies of the plants and animals. Now, most importantly, Spermophilus citellus, for instance, doesn't occur anywhere near the Urals at all. Spermophilus major does, but even it occurs in the most periperal parts of the range. Please be more careful with such matters. Colchicum (talk) 09:29, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
* Valid point, which I'll try to fix (we don't have many fauna pictures from that area). There is no Spermophilus major in the article, you probably mean "gopher" and/or "suslik". They are indeed common only to the southern steppes, but the gallery doesn't say "most representative species". Materialscientist (talk) 09:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Pliny and the Riphean Range
"In Greco-Roman antiquity, Pliny the Elder thought that the Urals correspond to the Riphean Mountains mentioned by various authors, including Arabic sources of the 10th century". This is both incoherent and vague, and the references (inserted long after the fact) are to two books two hundred years old which don't seem to have anything to do with neither geography nor classical scholarship. Pliny couldn't have "thought that the Urals correspond to the Riphean Mountains", the name "Urals" and the awareness of them as a mountain range with a specific location belong to a much later age than antiquity. And if the name Ripheans had been picked up by Pliny (he may well be using it, but without any precise localization: do you think Pliny has a clear idea of the topography of what we know as the Volga basin?) how could he have borrowed it from Arab travellers living nearly a thousand years later?? I can see what the sentence might be trying to say but that inferred meaning is too vague anyway: we have no proof at all that the ancients knew of the mountain range in question in any precise way. Deleting it.
Geographic significance
So many other WP articles cite the Ural Mountains as being the Eastern border of Europe but I can't find any history of this point of view, whether it is older (pre-19th century) viewpoint or reflects a recent understanding of the continental boundaries. It would be very useful if some mention was made of the importance of the Ural Mountains in dividing the East from the West, particularly when this opinion arose. Liz Read!

DD-PPO: Learning Near-Perfect PointGoal Navigators from 2.5 Billion FramesDownload PDF

Abstract: We present Decentralized Distributed Proximal Policy Optimization (DD-PPO), a method for distributed reinforcement learning in resource-intensive simulated environments. DD-PPO is distributed (uses multiple machines), decentralized (lacks a centralized server), and synchronous (no computation is ever "stale"), making it conceptually simple and easy to implement. In our experiments on training virtual robots to navigate in Habitat-Sim, DD-PPO exhibits near-linear scaling -- achieving a speedup of 107x on 128 GPUs over a serial implementation. We leverage this scaling to train an agent for 2.5 Billion steps of experience (the equivalent of 80 years of human experience) -- over 6 months of GPU-time training in under 3 days of wall-clock time with 64 GPUs. This massive-scale training not only sets the state of art on Habitat Autonomous Navigation Challenge 2019, but essentially "solves" the task -- near-perfect autonomous navigation in an unseen environment without access to a map, directly from an RGB-D camera and a GPS+Compass sensor. Fortuitously, error vs computation exhibits a power-law-like distribution; thus, 90% of peak performance is obtained relatively early (at 100 million steps) and relatively cheaply (under 1 day with 8 GPUs). Finally, we show that the scene understanding and navigation policies learned can be transferred to other navigation tasks -- the analog of "ImageNet pre-training + task-specific fine-tuning" for embodied AI. Our model outperforms ImageNet pre-trained CNNs on these transfer tasks and can serve as a universal resource (all models and code are publicly available).

236 minor heavenly bodies invisible by his brightness. It is on such lines that the story of Apollo Smintheus is interpreted.
But now let us turn from these ingenuities, and set ourselves to consider what claim the story of the Pied Piper may have to be received as an essentially true if not wholly unvarnished tale. How does it appear when we seek for a record of it in writings of the 13th century, in books which must have been penned before this more than nine-days' wonder had ceased to interest, and long ere wounds in Hameln hearts would heal? Martin Schoock, who essayed to demolish what he called the Fabula Hamelensis in 1659, assures us that no contemporary left note of the event, and gives us to understand that there was an ominous consensus of silence concerning it for some 250 years, until 16th century authors busied themselves to make it known. He delivers himself in Latin; but, being interpreted, he seems to say: "Under the Emperor Rudolf of Hapsburg, who began to reign A.D. 1272, lived the compiler of the Annales Colmariensium, who with his continuator reaches 1302; of all those whom I know, he is the most ignorant of the laws of history, and descends even to such poor matters as the details of the harvest and vintage, and of the sale of ripe strawberries, cherries, and pears in the June of 1283.

was established in 1766, and lasted unimpaired until he left for India. In the ideal university of St. Andrews which Johnson and Boswell founded in their imagination, the chair of English law was assigned to Chambers, and when he sailed to his new country he carried with him a warm letter of introduction from the doctor to Warren Hastings. Sir Philip Francis was long on friendly terms with him, and stood godfather to his son in November 1779; but in Sir Philip's diary, under the date of February 1780, are some severe reflections on Chambers. This temporary difference was soon composed, and on the return of Francis to London he wrote to Chambers a complimentary letter, although he condemned the other members of the supreme court. More letters followed, and in one of them Francis heartily congratulated his friend on his appointment as chief justice. In the much-debated question of the trial of Nuncomar the conduct of Chambers was marked by deplorable weakness. Fox said that Chambers ‘had acted very weakly,’ and Sir Gilbert Elliot spoke of his ‘mild and flexible character;’ but Francis endeavoured to sever his friend from the other judges on the ground that Chambers wished the trial to proceed under a statute of Queen Elizabeth, which did not visit forgery with the penalty of death. ‘A Treatise on Estates and Tenures, by the late Sir Robert Chambers,’ was edited by his nephew, Sir Charles Harcourt Chambers, in 1824, with the statement that it formed part of Sir Robert's Vinerian lectures, and that he had purposed to write, had his health permitted, a commentary on the common law. In 1834 W. H. Smoult, another kinsman, issued ‘A Collection of Orders by the Supreme Court of Judicature at Bengal on the Plea Side of the Court, 1774–1813, with notes from the note-books of Sir Robert Chambers and Mr. Justice Hyde,’ and in 1838 there was privately printed a ‘Catalogue of the Sanskrit Manuscripts collected during his residence in India by the late Sir Robert Chambers. With a brief memoir by Lady Chambers.’ The judge was throughout his life fond of books, and possessed a large library, especially rich in oriental works. His collection of Sanskrit manuscripts was purchased for the Royal Library at Berlin. His nephew, Sir Charles Harcourt Chambers, was a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; he graduated B.A. 1809, M.A. 1814; was appointed judge in Bombay 1823, and died there 13 Oct. 1829 (Gent. Mag. for 1829, i. 566).
CHAMBERS, ROBERT (1802–1871), Edinburgh publisher, author of ‘Vestiges of Creation,’ was born in Peebles 10 July 1802, of a family long settled in that town. His father was connected with the cotton trade. His mother, Jean Gibson, was also a native of Peebles. He has left some graphic pictures, drawn from his own recollection, of the state of a small Scottish burgh in the early years of the century, where nightly readings of Josephus excited the keenest interest and ‘the battle of Corunna and other prevailing news was strangely mingled with disquisitions on the Jewish wars.’ Here at the burgh and grammar schools of the place he got for a few shillings a quarter's instruction in Latin and the ordinary elements of an English education, as then understood. A slight lameness (due to a badly performed surgical operation, but cured in after life by skilful treatment) increased his inclination to study. His father had a copy of the fourth edition of the ‘Encyclopædia Britannica’ in a chest in the attic. Robert unearthed it, and it was to him what the ‘gift of a whole toy-shop would have been to most children.’ ‘I plunged into it,’ he says, ‘I roamed through it like a bee.’ This was in his eleventh year. About this time the father fell into increasing difficulties, and thought it advisable to leave Peebles for Edinburgh, where he filled various small appointments. The succeeding years were afterwards known in the family as the ‘dark ages.’ Robert, who had been left at school in Peebles, soon joined the family in Edinburgh. He had been destined for the church, and it was due to this that he attended ‘a noted classical academy’ for some time, and acquired a fair knowledge of Latin. At this period the family lived a few miles out of town. Robert, who lodged in the West Port with his elder brother (1800–1883) [q. v.], found his chief amusement in wandering through the narrow wynds and among the gloomy, but imposing, houses of old Edinburgh.
In 1816 he left school, and, having taught a little in Portobello, filled two situations as junior clerk. From both of these he was soon discharged, and being now about sixteen, and without employment, his brother suggested to him that he should begin as a bookseller, furnishing a stall with his own school books, | WIKI |
Serverless Environment Variables
Environment variables are now fully supported in AWS Lambda and the Serverless Framework. We’re going to see how to use them in our projects.
First up, make sure you are running the latest serverless CLI package. At the time of this writing, the lastest is v1.4.0.
$ serverless -v
1.4.0
Let’s create a folder for our project.
$ mkdir serverless-environment-variables
$ cd serverless-environment-variables
At the core of the Serverless Framework is the serverless.yml file which outlines your entire service. In our case, we will have a small handler for demo purposes:
# serverless.yml
service: serverless-environment-variables
provider:
name: aws
runtime: nodejs4.3
functions:
hello:
handler: handler.hello
Here we see the name of our service, which provider and runtime we want to use. Currently, only AWS is supported but I believe Google, Azure, and IBM support is in the works.
We only have one function for this demo and we call it hello. The handler property simply indicates where the code for that function is. In this case it is in a file called handler.js which exports a function called hello. Let’s write handler.js now.
// handler.js
'use strict';
module.exports.hello = (event, context, callback) => {
const response = {
foo: 'bar',
};
callback(null, response);
};
Here, all we are doing is returning a response with the property foo and value bar.
This should be all you need to run your service.
$ serverless invoke local -f hello
should yield
{
"foo": "bar"
}
Good. Now we have a working Serverless service. Let’s add those environment variables in there. Open the serverless.yml file and add the bolded line.
# serverless.yml
service: serverless-environment-variables
provider:
name: aws
runtime: nodejs4.3
environment:
MY_VAR: abc
functions:
hello:
handler: handler.hello
In your handler.js, add the new environment variables to the response.
// handler.js
'use strict';
module.exports.hello = (event, context, callback) => {
const response = {
foo: 'bar',
MY_VAR: process.env.MY_VAR,
};
callback(null, response);
};
Running the function again yields:
$ serverless invoke local -f hello
{
"foo": "bar",
"MY_VAR": "abc"
}
Nice!
Adding environment variables in the serverless.yml file is okay for non-sensitive information. Remember, you are commiting the serverless.yml file in your repo so no sensitive information should be present there. Next, we’ll explore another way for us to add sensitive information such as db connections for example.
Let’s create a new file called serverless.env.yml. This file will hold our sensitive variables.
# serverless.env.yml
dev:
SECRET_VAR: 'secret in dev'
Here we are creating a top level property dev and a variable within it. Now we need a way to reference this file in our main serverless.yml file.
# serverless.yml
service: serverless-environment-variables
provider:
name: aws
runtime: nodejs4.3
environment:
MY_VAR: abc
SECRET_VAR: ${file(./serverless.env.yml):dev.SECRET_VAR}
functions:
hello:
handler: handler.hello
What happens here is that our secret variable will be a reference to the serverless.env.yml file which will not be commited to the repo. As a result, it may contain sensitive data like the connection string to our database.
Don’t forget to add the new variable to your handler.js file.
// handler.js
'use strict';
module.exports.hello = (event, context, callback) => {
const response = {
foo: 'bar',
MY_VAR: process.env.MY_VAR,
SECRET_VAR: process.env.SECRET_VAR,
};
callback(null, response);
};
Running the function again should produce:
$ sls invoke local -f hello
{
"foo": "bar",
"MY_VAR": "abc",
"SECRET_VAR": "secret in dev"
}
And there’s the secret variable available inside your function. Obviously you should not return this in your response in a real scenario.
Lastly, you can have environment variables for each deployment stage such as dev and prd. Let’s add a prd property to the serverless.env.yml file.
# serverless.env.yml
dev:
SECRET_VAR: 'secret in dev'
prd:
SECRET_VAR: 'secret in prd'
Now we need to tell Serverless to dynamically pick the correct variable based on the stage we set when we run or deploy the function. We need to make one small change in the serverless.yml file to accomplish this.
# serverless.yml
service: serverless-environment-variables
provider:
name: aws
runtime: nodejs4.3
environment:
MY_VAR: abc
SECRET_VAR: ${file(./serverless.env.yml):${opt:stage}.SECRET_VAR}
functions:
hello:
handler: handler.hello
We replaced dev with ${opt:stage} which will get interpreted and replaced with the stage name we choose. Now when we run with the -s flag, we can specify the stage and get the correct variable for that stage.
$ sls invoke local -f hello -s dev
{
"foo": "bar",
"MY_VAR": "abc",
"SECRET_VAR": "secret in dev"
}
$ sls invoke local -f hello -s prd
{
"foo": "bar",
"MY_VAR": "abc",
"SECRET_VAR": "secret in prd"
}
I hope this was helpful.

ROKU Stock Is a Classic Example of Why Profits Matter
InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
ROKU (NASDAQ: ROKU ) is one of those stocks I've stood behind in 2018 despite the fact the company doesn't make any money. As a result, my pride's been battered and bruised as ROKU stock has taken a beating. It's down 47% through November 30 after reaching an all-time high October 1 of $77.57.
Here's what I said about Roku stock in March:
"As a rule, I'm not a fan of investing in money-losing stocks, but at least Roku has all the makings of a profitable business five years from now," I wrote December 6, 2016.
"Sometimes rules are meant to be broken. In the case of ROKU stock, I was willing to make an exception. Since then it's ridden higher into the $50s, only to come crashing back to the low $40s where it was in early December when I defended its stock price."
I finished my March 2 article suggesting investor fears of ROKU stock crashing as a result of the lock-up expiry were unfounded. Roku's story was very much intact and it was a buy with cash in reserve in case it dropped further.
It fell to a 52-week low of $29 in early April only to jump by 167% over the next six months.
What Goes Up Must Come Down?
The company's Q3 2018 results were good, but not good enough for investors, knocking ROKU stock for a 22% loss November 8 - its worst one-day loss since its September 2017 IPO.
10 Boring Stocks to Buy for Red-Hot Returns
Interestingly, while ROKU beat on the top and bottom line, it missed analyst expectations for average revenue per user (ARPU) by a dime - analysts were expecting $17.44 - signaling a potential slowdown in its streaming advertising.
My argument for owning ROKU stock was simple.
As long as the company kept growing its active accounts and viewing hours of those active accounts, advertising revenue would continue to grow.
In Q3 2018, Roku grew its active accounts by 43% year-over-year and 8.2% on a sequential basis to 23.8 million. The company increased streaming hours 63% YoY and 12.7% sequentially to 6.2 billion. So, the average hours streamed per account in Q3 2018 was 260.5, 4.2% higher than in Q2 2018, and 14.5% higher than Q3 2017.
That's good, no?
Again, it all goes back to the analysts. They were expecting platform revenue (advertising) of $103.2 million; Roku came in $3.1 million below the estimate. That's hardly worth a 22% single-day decline, but when you're not making money, anything's possible from investors given increased market volatility.
I will say this: ARPU in the third quarter increased by 4.5% on a sequential basis to $17.34, its smallest increase in the past four quarters. That's at least worth watching in the coming quarters.
ROKU Stocks and Future Profits
I still believe that Roku will go on to be a very profitable company, much like Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ).
The advertising dollars Roku generates will increase exponentially once advertisers genuinely buy into streaming ads. Roku CEO Anthony Wood said this on CNBC:
"If you're an advertiser, you're seeing your viewers shift from traditional linear TV to streaming…. When viewers moved to mobile, the ad dollars took a few years to catch up. But they will catch up."
In fiscal 2018, Roku expects revenues of at least $722 million, a net loss of $13-$20 million, and positive EBITDA of at least $21 million. That last number is significant because it represents a third consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA and EBITDA growth, a sign that GAAP profits are imminent.
In hindsight, it's easy to critique my recommendation of Roku stock, pointing to the fact that it wasn't making money as a prime reason I shouldn't have been so gung-ho about the company or its stock. However, if Roku's assertion that all TV will be streamed and so too will TV advertising, a prediction I tend to agree with, the future price of its stock will be much higher than $77.57.
10 Goldman Sachs Top Stock Picks for 2019
But first Roku has to make a fiscal profit. When it does that, the sky's the limit.
As of this writing Will Ashworth did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

AFC Metalul Buzău
AFC Metalul Buzău, commonly known as Metalul Buzău, is a Romanian professional football club based in Buzău, Romania, founded in 1954. Currently the team plays in Liga II.
History
AFC Metalul Buzău was founded in 1954 as AS Metalul Buzău and was set up by the trade union of IUT Buzău. From the first season to the 1966 season, the team evolved into the county championship and in autumn of 66, the city of Buzău returned with a team in Divizia C, this team was Metalul.
In 1971, through a reorganization of the football from Buzău, Gloria Buzău was formed and taking a part of Metalul's players and the place in Divizia C, Gloria succeeded in the 1971–72 Divizia C season to occupy the 1st place in the series and after a play-off match at Ploiești to promote in Divizia B.
At the insistence of the workers from the IUT factory, in 1982 the football team was re-established. At that time Steaua Săhăteni, a small team from Buzău County played in Divizia C. Buzoienii merged with the team from Săhăteni and took its place in Liga III.
In 1996, following the association with CORD Buzău, Metalul became Metalcord Buzău. The last edition in which the team from Buzău evolved in the Liga III under this name was 2005–06 Divizia C season.
In the summer of 2007, the club returned to its former name AS Metalul Buzău and participated annually in the Buzău County Championship, the equivalent of the Liga IV in the Romanian football system.
The team was taken over in 2013 by the company Revicom Oil, changing its name in AFC Metalul Buzău.
At the end of 2016–17 Metalul won Liga IV – Buzău County and the promotion play-off match against CS Amara, the Ialomița County champion, 9–2 on aggregate and promoted back to Liga III after 10 years of absence.
In the 2019–20 season, Metalul achieved the club's best performance in Cupa României when reached Round of 16, after winning against Avântul Zărnești (3–0 by FA decision; 2nd Round), Gloria Buzău (3–2 after pen.; 3rd Round), CSM Focșani (1–0 a.e.t.; 4th Round), FK Miercurea Ciuc (1–0; Round of 32) and losing to Politehnica Iași (0–3; Round of 16).
Stadium
The club plays its home matches on Metalul Stadium from Buzău.
Rivalries
Although it is the oldest active football club in the Buzău County, Metalul has always lived in the shadow of Gloria Buzău, thus becoming their rivals.

Hence, concentrating on apoptotic ER-stress induced pathways could be effective in getting rid of undesired cells, such as for example tumor cells
Hence, concentrating on apoptotic ER-stress induced pathways could be effective in getting rid of undesired cells, such as for example tumor cells. Proof UPR participation in cancer Although ER stress continues to be associated with many diseases adversely, including neurodegenerative diseases (Hetz and Bertrand 2014), heart diseases (Liu and Dudley 2016), diabetes (Cnop et al. the essential cellular and signaling pathways from the UPR and ER are introduced; then your crosstalk between your ER and various other signaling pathways is normally summarized; and eventually, the evidence which the UPR is normally a potential focus on for cancers therapy is normally discussed. Regulation from the UPR downstream signaling is normally MLLT3 a common healing focus on for different tumor types. Tumoricidal results attained from modulating the UPR downstream signaling could possibly be improved by phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Generally untapped by Traditional western medicine for cancers therapies are Chinese language herbal supplements. This review explores and discusses the worthiness of some Chinese language herbal ingredients as PDE5 inhibitors. glycogen synthase kinase-3, mTOR complicated, tumor necrosis aspect receptor (TNFR)-linked aspect 2, apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, c-Jun amino-terminal kinase The transmembrane ER tension sensor, IRE1, interacts with MAPK signaling (via Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK) to look for the cell destiny in response to ER tension (Darling and Make 2014). As talked about above, furthermore to activation by disassociation from GRP78 complicated, IRE1 may also be turned on with the pro-apoptotic BH123 proteins Bak and BH3-just protein Bim and PUMA (Hetz et al. 2006; Klee et al. 2009). Upon arousal, IRE1 induces the tumor necrosis aspect receptor (TNFR)-linked aspect2 (TRAF2)/apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1)/JNK cascade, which plays a part in Imrecoxib cell loss of life (Urano et al. 2000; Nishitoh et al. 2002). Knocking down of IRE1 and TRAF2 regularly inhibited cell loss of life induced by Bim and PUMA in the current presence of Bak, disclosing the pro-apoptotic function from the IRE1 (Klee et al. 2009). Beyond getting turned on by IRE1, JNK can be an essential downstream target from the multi-tier kinase component which has Ras, RAF, MEK, and ERK (Wagner and Nebreda 2009), recommending that Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling might are likely involved in ER stress-induced cell death. In the interplay between your Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling as well as the IRE1 signaling, ASK1 may work as a planner (Hayakawa et al. 2012). While playing a primary function in IRE1-initiated apoptotic signaling, ASK1 can be a member from the Raf family members which activates MEK4/MEK7-JNK and MEK3/MEK6-p38 pathways (Ichijo et al. 1997). ASK1-deficient mice exhibited an elevated level of resistance to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced loss of life of cardiomyocytes. This is along with a smaller upsurge in activating p38 and JNK weighed against outrageous type mice, indicating that ASK1 insufficiency negates the crosstalk between your IRE1 and MAPK signaling that normally promotes cell loss of life within this stimulus situation (Watanabe et al. 2005). The pro-apoptotic impact induced by CHOP is pertinent towards the activation from the mitochondria-mediated intrinsic pathway of apoptosis whereby cytochrome C leaves the mitochondrial intermembrane space and moves in to the cytoplasm to cause apoptosis. To initiation from the intrinsic apoptotic pathway Prior, the Bcl2 family members pro-apoptotic protein Bax or Bak aggregate to create a channel to permit the transmembrane discharge of cytochrome C, the procedure which could be inhibited with the anti-apoptotic proteins, Bcl2 (Cheng et al. 2001). Bcl2 is normally downregulated during CHOP-induced apoptosis in vitro (McCullough et al. 2001). The relationship between your Bcl2 proteins family members and CHOP-induced apoptosis in addition has been Imrecoxib proven in mouse versions. For instance, mice bearing CHOP-deficient genes exhibited improved level of resistance to I/R-induced tubular epithelial cell loss of life, with downregulation of pro-apoptotic Bax (Noh et al. 2015). This shows that the mitochondria-mediated intrinsic pathway includes a synergistic impact with CHOP-induced apoptosis. As talked about above, UPR downstream cascades can induce cell apoptosis. Therefore, concentrating on apoptotic ER-stress induced pathways may be effective in getting rid of unwanted cells, such as for example tumor cells. Proof UPR participation in cancers Although ER tension has been connected adversely to many illnesses, including neurodegenerative illnesses (Hetz and Imrecoxib Bertrand 2014), center illnesses (Liu and Dudley 2016), diabetes (Cnop Imrecoxib et al. 2012), and renal disease (Taniguchi and Yoshida 2015), manipulation from the ER tension could be harnessed therapeutically (Inki et al. 2008). For instance, inactivating UPR cascades can Imrecoxib be an appealing focus on for antitumor modalities. Within this section, a synopsis of different systems which have been suggested to describe the molecular hyperlink between cancers as well as the induction from the ER tension is normally provided. The feasible mechanisms from the adaptive behaviors of cancers cells predicated on the activation from the UPR will end up being described first.. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
The New International Encyclopædia/Carlyle, Thomas
CARLYLE, (1795-1881). A Scottish man of letters. He was born at Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, December 4, 1795. Educated first at the village school, and afterwards at Annan, he passed, in 1809, to Edinburgh University, with a view to entering the Scottish Church. Here he studied irregularly, but with amazing avidity. The stories which are related of his immense reading are almost fabulous. About the middle of his theological curriculum, Carlyle felt wholly disinclined to become a clergyman, and, after a short period spent in teaching at Annan, and later at Kirkcaldy, where he formed a lifelong friendship with Edward Irving, he went to Edinburgh and embraced literature as a profession. His first efforts were contributions to Brewster's Encyclopædia. In 1824 he published a translation of Legendre's Geometry, to which he prefixed an essay on proportion, mathematics having, during his college years, been a favorite study with him. In 1823-24 appeared in the London Magazine his Life of Schiller; and in 1824 his translation of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister. In 1825 the Life of Schiller was recast, and published in a separate form. It was very highly praised; indeed, one can discern in the criticisms of the book a dawning recognition of the genius of Carlyle. The translation of Wilhelm Meister met with a somewhat different fate. De Quincey, in one of his acrid and capricious moods, attacked both Goethe and his translator; while Jeffrey, in the Edinburgh Review, admitting Carlyle to be “a person of talents,” slashed in cavalier fashion at the book. It is one of the most excellent translations of a foreign work in the English language. In 1826 Carlyle married Jane Baillie Welsh, a lineal descendant of John Knox, and during the same year appeared his Specimens of German Romance. From 1828 to 1834 he resided at Craigenputtoch, a small estate in Dumfriesshire, belonging to his wife — the “loneliest nook in Britain,” as he says himself in a letter to Goethe. Here Carlyle revolved in his mind the great questions in philosophy, literature, social life, and polities, to the elucidation of which — after his own singular fashion — he earnestly dedicated his whole life. Here also he continued to write, for various magazines, the splendid series of critical and biographical essays which he had begun two years before. For this work he was admirably equipped. Besides possessing an exact knowledge of the German language, he was also inspired by the conviction that the literature of Germany, in depth, truthfulness, sincerity, and earnestness of purpose, was greatly superior to what was admired and relished at home. He had, moreover, a genius for writing literary portraits. Through him England discovered Germany. One of his most beautiful, eloquent, and solid essays, written at Craigenputtoch, was that on Burns (Edinburgh Review, 1828). It has given the tone to all subsequent criticism of the Scottish poet. But his chef-d'œuvre, written on the moorland farm, was Sartor Resartus (“The Tailor Done Over,” the title of an old Scottish song). This work, which first appeared in Fraser's Magazine (1833-34), is, like most of Carlyle's later productions, an indescribable mixture of the sublime and the grotesque. It professes to be a history or biography of a certain Herr Teufelsdröckh (“Devil's Dirt”), professor in the University of Weissnichtwo (“Kennaquhair”), and contains the manifold opinions, speculations, inward agonies, and trials of that strange personage — or rather of Carlyle himself. The whole book quivers with tragic pathos, solemn aspiration, or riotous humor. In 1834 Carlyle removed to London, taking a house in Cheyne Row, Chelsea. In 1837 appeared The French Revolution. Nothing can be more gorgeous than the style of this ‘prose epic.’ A fiery enthusiasm pervades it, now softened with tenderness, and again darkened with grim mockery, making it throughout the most wonderful image of that wild epoch. Carlyle looks on the explosion of national wrath as a work of the divine Nemesis, who “in the fullness of times” destroys, with sacred fury, the accumulated falsehoods of centuries. To him, therefore, the Revolution is a “truth clad in hell-fire.” During the same year he delivered in London a series of lectures on German literature: in 1838 another series on The History of Literature, or the Successive Periods of European Culture; in 1839, another on The Revolutions of Modern Europe; and a fourth in 1840, on Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History; of these Carlyle prepared only the last for publication (1841). In the meantime he had published Chartism (1839). In 1843 followed Past and Present, which, like its predecessor, showed the deep, anxious, sorrowful interest Carlyle was taking in the actual condition of his countrymen. In 1845 he published what is considered by many his masterpiece, Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches, With Elucidations and a Connecting Narrative. The research displayed in this book is something marvelous, but the author was nobly rewarded for his toil by the abundant admiration given to his work. In 1850 appeared the Latter-Day Pamphlets, the fiercest, most sardonic, most
furious of all his writings. These vehement papers were followed the next year by the Life of Sterling, calm and tender in tone. For many years Carlyle had been at work on the History of Frederick the Great. The vast undertaking, resulting in six volumes, was at length carried through (1858-65). In 1865 Carlyle was elected Lord Rector of Edinburgh University.
The sudden death of Mrs. Carlyle, in 1866, overwhelmed her husband with grief. Henceforth his life became more and more secluded. His work was now done. In 1867 Carlyle visited Mentone, where he composed part of his personal Reminiscences; then returning to London, contributed to Macmillan's Magazine an article entitled “Shooting Niagara,” in which he gave his views of democracy. In 1875 appeared the Early Kings of Norway. In 1874 he received the Prussian royal Order Pour le Mérite in recognition of his having written the life of Frederick the Great; and in the same year he was offered by Disraeli the Grand Cross of the Bath and a liberal pension, but he declined them both. On February 4, 1881, he died at his house in Chelsea, and was buried among his kindred at Ecclefechan. His wife rests beside her father at Haddington. Carlyle appointed James Anthony Froude his literary executor, who, in conforming with the terms of the trust, published Carlyle's Reminiscences (1881); Thomas Carlyle: The First Forty Years of His Life (1882); Letters of Jane Welsh Carlyle, exhibiting her as an accomplished woman and brilliant letter-writer (1883); and Thomas Carlyle: Life in London (1884). A revulsion of feeling regarding Carlyle's character followed, the literary world being shocked by the bitterness and spite abounding in these records, and Froude was attacked with great violence for his indiscretion. But time has revived the former admiration for Carlyle's genius. In 1882 a statue was erected to his memory on the Chelsea embankment, and in 1895 his house in Cheyne Row was purchased and opened to the public. A centenary edition of his Works, 30 vols., was published (London and New York, 1896-99). Consult: The Correspondence of Thomas Carlyle with Ralph Waldo Emerson (Boston, 1883); Early Letters of Thomas Carlyle (New York, 1886; second series, 1888); Correspondence Between Goethe and Carlyle (New York, 1887) — all edited by Prof. C. E. Norton; also, Copeland, Carlyle's Letters to His Youngest Sister (London, 1889). For his life and works, consult: Shepherd and Williamson, Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Thomas Carlyle (London, 1881); Wylie, Thomas Carlyle, the Man and His Books (London, 1881); Masson, Carlyle Personally and in His Writings (London, 1885); Larkin, Carlyle and the Open Secret of His Life (London, 1886); Garnett, Life (London, 1887); Nichol, Life (New York, 1894); Wilson, Froude and Carlyle (New York, 1898); Mrs. Ireland, Life of Jane Welsh Carlyle (London, 1891); and Shepherd, The Bibliography of Thomas Carlyle (London, 1882).

Why Your Valorant Isn’t Updating and How to Solve It
It’s a quiet Friday night, your favorite energy drink within arm’s reach, the soft glow of your battle station lighting up the room. You’re ready to drop in and dominate the competition in Valorant. But the universe, it seems, has other plans. Your Valorant refuses to update. An unexpected boss battle, huh?
I’ve been there, stuck in that perplexing labyrinth of errors, my excitement slowly deflating like a leaked loot balloon. It feels like being spawn-killed by an invisible opponent, doesn’t it? That’s why I knew, like a quest marker in the distance, that others could benefit from a comprehensive guide navigating this tricky terrain. So, here we are!
In this guide, we’ll delve into the cryptic realms of:
• Understanding the Problem: We’ll identify the sneaky bugs that signal an update issue.
• Possible Reasons Why Valorant Isn’t Updating: Because knowing your enemy is half the battle won.
• Troubleshooting and Solutions: Your trusty power-ups to conquer this boss fight.
• Resources for Further Assistance: Because every hero needs a sidekick, right?
• Preventing Future Update Issues: We’re not just about winning the fight, but dominating the whole game.
So, put on your game face, and equip your curiosity for this deep dive into the world of Valorant updates. Ready to level up your knowledge? Let’s get this XP! Keep on reading, because just like in gaming, knowledge is the ultimate power-up.
Understanding the Problem
Explanation of the Update Issue
You know how it feels when you’re all set for a raid, but the dungeon door just won’t budge? That’s precisely how it feels when Valorant is not updating. In tech lingo, it means that the game software isn’t receiving or properly installing the latest patches or updates released by Riot Games. It’s like being stuck with a starter weapon while everyone else is running around with epic gear.
Common Symptoms of the Issue
If your Valorant isn’t updating, you’ll notice a few telltale signs. The update might freeze midway, or it may refuse to start at all. Error messages popping up are as unwelcome as enemy encounters when you’re low on HP. And then, there are the times when the game says it’s updated, but you can’t spot any changes. Frustrating, isn’t it?
In the next section, I’ll take a look at some of the possible reasons why Valorant won’t update.
Possible Reasons Why Valorant Isn’t Updating
While it can feel as if you’re up against an insurmountable boss level, understanding the potential reasons why Valorant isn’t updating can give you the edge you need to tackle the issue head-on. Let’s gear up and delve into the causes:
Server Issues
Sometimes, the issue isn’t on your side; it’s on Riot’s. Just like a crowded server can cause lag, server issues can affect game updates. When too many players are trying to download the same update, it can bog down the servers, resulting in delays or interruptions. So, before you embark on a quest to troubleshoot, check if the dungeon is open for business. The official Valorant Server Status page is a great place to start.
Software Glitches
Software glitches can be as unpredictable as loot drops. A bug in the game client or a conflict with other software on your computer could be the invisible enemy preventing your game from updating. It’s like an uninvited boss fight you must overcome to proceed.
Internet Connectivity Problems
In the world of online gaming, a stable internet connection is as important as your trusty in-game weapon. Poor or unstable internet can lead to failed or incomplete updates, stranding you in the old version while the rest of the gaming world moves on.
Insufficient Storage Space
Sometimes, the issue could be as simple as not having enough storage space on your system. Game updates often require significant space, and if your hard drive is full, the update may not be able to download or install. It’s like trying to carry more loot than your inventory allows.
Administrative Restrictions
This is a sneaky issue that often goes unnoticed. If you don’t have administrative privileges on your computer, some updates may not install properly. It’s like trying to enter a high-level area with a low-level character.
Antivirus or Firewall Interference
At times, your own system’s defenses, like an overzealous party member, can pose a problem. Your antivirus or firewall might mistake the update for a threat and block it, preventing Valorant from updating.
Corrupted Game Files
If some of your Valorant files are corrupted, it can prevent new updates from installing. It’s like trying to build a castle with a few cracked stones. The foundation won’t hold up.
Understanding these potential issues can help you better troubleshoot and resolve any update problems. It’s like learning the attack patterns of a tricky boss. Once you know what you’re up against, the battle becomes a lot easier.
Troubleshooting and Solutions
Checking Server Status
Just as you’d check the map in an unfamiliar gaming landscape, start by checking Riot’s server status. If there’s an issue on their end, patience is your best bet – or maybe it’s time for a side quest in a different game until things are back to normal. You can check the server status on the Valorant Server Status page.
Restarting the Game and/or Computer
Have you tried turning it off and on again? It’s not just a meme, but a legitimate first step in troubleshooting. Sometimes, all the system needs is a quick break, like a well-timed pause in a frantic game session. Try restarting Valorant or your entire computer; it could just clear the glitch and allow the update to proceed.
Checking and Improving Internet Connection
A laggy internet connection is a gamer’s worst enemy. Ensure you’re not downloading anything else that might hog your bandwidth. You could also try resetting your router to improve your internet connection. Remember, a strong internet connection is like a fully charged mana bar – it keeps the game going smoothly.
Reinstalling the Game
When all else fails, it’s time for the drastic measure: reinstalling the game. It’s the gaming equivalent of a full health reset when you’re down to your last sliver of HP. Uninstall Valorant, download a fresh version, and install it again. Be careful to save your settings and any other important data before you proceed, though. It might take a bit longer, like waiting for a respawn, but it can often fix persistent update problems. To learn how to uninstall and reinstall the game, checkout this thread of the Valorant Forums.
To reinstall Valorant, follow the same procedure you followed when you first installed the game.
Resources for Further Assistance
If you’re still stuck, remember that every hero can use a little help. Here’s your fellowship of resources ready to assist you:
• Riot Games Support: This is like the game developer’s help center. You can find solutions to common problems or submit a ticket to get help from Riot’s team.
• Valorant Reddit community: Like a bustling in-game tavern, this community is full of fellow players discussing issues and sharing solutions.
• Valorant Server Status: You can check this site for any ongoing server issues that might be affecting your updates.
Preventing Future Update Issues
Just like the best defense is a good offense, the best way to deal with update issues is to prevent them. Here’s your game plan:
Regular System Maintenance
Keeping your software and systems updated keeps your weapons sharp and your armor polished. Regular system maintenance, including updates to your operating system and graphics card, can keep everything running smoothly and prevent future update issues.
Stable Internet Connection
Never underestimate the power of a stable internet connection. It’s like having a full health bar during a boss fight. Consider using a wired connection for stability or investing in a more robust Wi-Fi solution if you game wirelessly.
Community Engagement
Join the game’s community. It’s like joining a guild where everyone has your back. They’re great places for finding out about known issues and potential solutions. Plus, you can share your experiences and learn from others. Trust me, being part of a community makes the gaming experience so much better, just like a well-coordinated team in a multiplayer match.
Conclusion
Well, gamer friend, we’ve navigated through the tricky landscape of Valorant update issues, just like a stealth mission in the dead of night. We’ve identified the enemies, learned their tactics, and even devised strategies to outwit them in the future.
Let’s do a quick save and recap what we’ve achieved in this epic quest:
• We’ve learned to recognize the problem when Valorant isn’t updating, spotting the signs like hidden traps in a dungeon.

ABSTRACT
<p>A proof system for a shared dataspace programming notation called Swarm (a programming logic similar in style to that of UNITY) is specified. Relevant aspects of the Swarm language and model are overviewed. To illustrate the proof system, the Swarmlogic is used to verify the correctness of a program for labeling connected equal-intensity regions of a digital image. Like UNITY, the Swarm proof system uses an assertional programming logic which relies upon proof of programwide properties, e.g. global invariants and progress properties. The Swarm logic is defined in terms of the same logical relations as UNITY (unless, ensures, and leads-to), but several of the concepts are reformulated to accommodate Swarm's distinctive features.</p>

911 Battalion (SWATF)
911 Battalion was part of the South West African Territorial Force's 91 Brigade.
History
This unit was formed in 1977 situated sixty kilometres south of Windhoek at Oamites an old disused copper mine. 911 Battalion was made up of various ethnic groups from SWA, such as Hereros, Damaras, Tswanas, Basters and Coloureds. 911 Battalion became known as "Swing Force" due to its ability to operate as a conventional unit or as a Counter-insurgency (COIN) unit. It recruited from South West Africa at large and deployed predominantly as a reserve force. An infantry element, a mechanised contingent, artillery, and a regiment of Eland armoured cars was included. The unit was never mobilised en masse.
911 Battalion was part of 91 Brigade.
Operational area
The battalion's main operational area was Owamboland, via Oshivello, about two hundred kilometres south of the SWA/Angola border. On entering the Oshivello gate, soldiers had passed over the so-called 'red line' which meant in effect that they were officially on the border and in the operational area. | WIKI |
Btrfs Error on external disk
Hello
Just tried to reboot nextcloudpi and my external disk is not able to mount.
Error:
2959.054409] BTRFS error (device sda1): bad tree block start, want 1048576 have 0
[ 2959.054440] BTRFS error (device sda1): failed to read chunk root

Just tried:
Btrfs rescue super-recover /dev/sda1
It says: All supers are valid, no need to recover
Then tried:
btrfs rescue chunk-recover /dev/sda1
It’s still Scanning:
Scanning: 60890370048 in dev0
Is there anything else I can do? Or just wait cause its an 1TB disk
Even after the scan an then reboot I got the same error. Any help???
i fear not.
are you using a 2,5" disk connected to USB3? I’ve had many of those cause troubles with btrfs (only) and wasted lots of time trying to fix the fs. if your data is valuable grab a rescue-image of the disk first and do all the (experimental) btrfs-recovery stuff on that; if you can mount the disk ro you can (probably) still copy the data.
if you do chunk-recover you will have to wait for it to finish; but after that scrub will still show (unrecoverable) errors or fail and balance will most likely not be possible.
in my experience the fastest way is to copy all data and re-create a new btrfs on the disk; you might check the disk itself with badblocks and smartctl before.
GOOD LUCK!
If i try to mount it - that doesn´t work:

It’s one of those truths that are so hard to accept. Yet, a truth that we should learn to accept as a part of bringing life to this world. I know the last thing anyone would want is to have a tear down there. But this is one of those unsavory experiences of giving birth that people don’t talk about despite it being such a common thing.
Well, not that everyone tears during vaginal birth, but most people do. So, isn’t it best that you learn to overcome the fear before you get to the maternity room?

How common are vaginal tears?
One study that involved 797 women who had vaginal deliveries showed that 407 of those women had vaginal tears. If this study is anything to go by, then you can tell that vaginal tears are quite a common thing. Another study that involved 2, 278 women who delivered vaginally found that 36 of these women had a 3rd or 4th-degree perineal tears. These are serious tears that might extend up to the anus.
Causes of vaginal tears when giving birth
Minor vaginal tear(The Skeptical OB)
When the tear is extensive and affects the area around the anus, treatment is required. Such tears cause a lot of pain for even months and can cause anal incontinence whereby a woman is unable to control gas and bowel movements. This sounds scary but if your tear is not extensive (1st and 2nd degree), it heals on its own after some months.
So why do people tear? Don’t they say that the muscles of the vagina are elastic enough to allow the baby to pass? Well, sometimes the baby is too large to pass through normally or the vagina fails to stretch enough as it should. This leads to tears. The doctor may also be forced to make a cut, known as episiotomy to make a way for the baby.
Preventing vaginal tears
OP position causes vaginal tears(MomJunction)
Is there a way that vaginal tears during childbirth can be prevented? Sadly, there is no sure way to do so. All the same, there are known risk factors. Avoiding the risk factors helps in lowering the chances of tearing during vaginal birth. This in return lowers the chances of fecal incontinence in women after giving birth.
Ideally, the baby’s head is supposed to face the woman’s back during birth. However, that is not usually the case in all babies and this increases the chances of vaginal tears. Research shows that some other factors that may lead to vaginal tears include; episiotomy, high birth weight, maternal age, big head circumference, prolonged labor, and gestational age.

These Stocks Would Have Doubled Your Money Last Year
Last year was a great year for stocks, with the S&P 500 gaining 31.5%. But that number represents the total gain of the top 500 market cap stocks in the U.S., so some stocks did even better. If you were lucky enough to own Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), Universal Display (NASDAQ: OLED), or Paycom Software (NYSE: PAYC) last year, these stocks would have doubled your money.
SHOP data by YCharts
Let's dive in to learn more about this trio and determine whether their market-beating returns can continue.
Shopify: Powering e-commerce
Starting a business is hard. Keeping it running can be even harder. Shopify makes it easier for those business owners who want to sell products online. With a subscription of only $29 per month, businesses can build an online store, add products, get access to discounted shipping, and collect payments from customers. The company makes money from subscription fees, and shares in the success when merchants sell their goods. It captures a small part of every sale through payment processing fees or shipping services. More than a million merchants use its platform today.
Shopify has been on a roll. In each of its earnings reports in 2019, revenue growth exceeded 45%, bringing its annual revenue run rate to $1.4 billion. The company is foregoing profits to invest in growth, including platform improvements, international expansion, acquisitions, and a fulfillment network. Even though the stock has more than doubled in the past year, it isn't done growing. With tailwinds of e-commerce growth and an ever-expanding platform, Shopify can still be a solid investment for investors who have a long-term perspective.

Universal Display: Technology for the next wave of screens
In the 1967 film The Graduate, there's a scene where Mr. McGuire, played by Walter Brooke, pulls the young graduate, played by Dustin Hoffman, aside to give him "one word" of advice for his career. If the movie were shot today, that one word wouldn't be "plastics," it would be "OLEDs." Just as Hoffman's character was left confused, you might be wondering what OLED means. It's an acronym that stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode and is the technology behind high-end screens for Google Pixel 4 phones, Sony Brava televisions, Dell XPS laptops, and Apple's Series 5 Watch. The market for this technology is in its infancy and Universal Display is poised to benefit.
Universal Display developed OLED technology and owns over 5,000 patents related to its use and application. It also sells base materials to manufacturers to enable these screens to come to life. OLEDs are superior in many ways to the more common, but older LCDs (liquid crystal displays). They are lighter, brighter, more colorful, can be made into flexible screens, and use less power. This past year has been a banner year for the company, as its revenue for the first nine months of 2019 grew 71% over the same period in 2018 and is projected to be between $400 million and $410 million for the full year. The market for OLEDs is expected to double from 2019 to 2023 and can be a great way for investors to play this technology trend as OLED screens become more commonplace.
Paycom: Software to manage employee payroll and more
With unemployment at 50-year lows, it's important for companies to have the proper tools for managing their employee base, and that's where Paycom's human capital management (HCM) software comes in. The company started in 1998 with a software product to handle payroll and has since expanded into a full suite for human resource management. Focused on small companies with less than 5,000 employees, its cloud software tracks the full lifecycle of employment, including hiring, performance goals and reviews, human resources (HR) tasks, time management (managing schedules and vacations), and payroll. Its direct access features for employees free up HR professionals from manual data entry tasks, saving money for employers and allowing the HR team to focus on strategy.
The company makes money from its monthly subscription fees, which account for 98% of its revenue. Revenue growth has been around 30% for its last eight quarters (ranging between 28.7% and 31.8%), with its most recent quarter notching up 28.7% year-over-year growth. Unlike many other growth companies, it's profitable and growing its bottom line. The most recent quarter saw a 45% growth in net income and 32% growth for the full-year 2019. No doubt these impressive performance numbers drove the stock gains in 2019.
Its research and development investments go to improving the platform in three key areas: compliance (keeping up with regulations), improving current tools, and creating new tools and features. These investments are paying off as it has seen high annual retention rates in the 90%-plus range for the past four years. With an addressable market of $20 billion, its $738 million in trailing-twelve-month revenues represent less than 4% of its potential, giving the company plenty of room for growth ahead.
Winners keep on winning
You might think that with these incredible gains, you've missed the boat on these growth stocks, but that's not the case. Each of these companies operates in a huge market and has built a strong business to capitalize. Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner likes to invest in winners like these because "winners tend to keep on winning." That could certainly be the case for this bunch.

Question: z score transformation by population or by gene?

In calculating z-scores for microarray or RNA-Seq data, I have found two main answers on how to obtain them.
For example, in R, having a log2 expression matrix x with genes in rows and samples in columns, I would do:
zscore <- function(x) {
z <- (x - mean(x)) / sd(x)
return(z)
}
But many often suggest to use the scale base R function, on the transposed matrix. Like
mat_zscore <- t(scale(t(x)))
If I am not wrong, the two approaches are different, that is, in the first one I am subtracting population mean and dividing by population SD, while the second one operates by column by default, so transposing is done to calculate mean and SD for each gene in row.
My question is, is one of the two more correct than the other? And why are both given as valid alternatives?
Thanks

They should give the same values. Here is my proof, taking functions from pheatmap() and heatmap.2(), and comparing them to scale(): cannot replicate the pheatmap scale function
Keep in mind that we also either scale by row or by column. Your function is scaling by the global mean and global standard deviation. In a typical setting for a transcriptomics study, scale(t(x)) will scale by row.

Both answers in that thread are old, and the answers by Seán and dariober are different, as you have also highlighted in your question.
The scale() function will always scale by column, only (you can get it to scale by row by doing t(scale(t(x)))); so, each column in the data is scaled separately. This may be more favourable in certain situations, e.g., for visualisation. However, I have never seen a comprehensive review of why one would be more favourable over the other. You may receive a better answer by posting on Cross Validated.

Carmine Vingo
Carmine Vingo (December 28, 1929 – June 2, 2015) was a world ranked heavyweight boxer best remembered for his career-ending bout with future world heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, cumulating in his knockout and resulting brain injury.
Professional career
Nicknamed 'Bingo Vingo' for his willingness to take chances to win in the ring, Vingo started his career by winning 16 of his first 17 professional bouts, losing only a questionable decision to undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Joe Lindsay in White Plains, New York, in 1948. Vingo won 12 consecutive fights, including a unanimous decision over highly regarded 16–2 contender Joe Modzele on a boxing card at Yankee Stadium in August 1949. A second round knockout of Al Robinson at Sunnyside Garden Arena in Queens, New York, propelled Vingo into the world heavyweight rankings, and a crossroads bout with rising star Rocky Marciano.
Fight with Rocky Marciano
On December 30, 1949, at Madison Square Garden, Vingo, then 16–1, and Marciano, 24–0, fought a slugfest. Marciano put Vingo down in the first and second rounds. Vingo fought back well, and by the end of the fifth round, was hurting Marciano with right hand power shots, and seemed to be gaining momentum. Marciano would later describe his bout with Vingo as "The toughest fight of my career."
At 1:46 of round six, Vingo was knocked out by an uppercut. Unconscious, he was carried on a stretcher to a hospital two blocks away as no ambulance was available at the scene. Marciano paced the corridors of the hospital, praying for Vingo's life, in what became a public media event. Administered last rites by a priest, and given only a 50–50 chance of survival after slipping into a coma, Vingo underwent brain surgery, eventually recovering and returning home from the hospital two months later in February 1950. His left side was slightly paralyzed and his vision was affected in both eyes, ending his promising boxing career. Marciano waited for Vingo to recover before resuming his career.
Life after boxing
Following the end of his boxing career, Vingo married his high school sweetheart and worked at an office building on Broadway in Manhattan as a 'security porter' (a combination of both positions) for many years.
Friendship with Rocky Marciano
After his health improved, Vingo visited Rocky Marciano's training camps, attended Rocky Marciano's wedding as an invited guest, and attended Rocky's second fight with Jersey Joe Walcott as Marciano's guest in May 1953. In September 1969, Vingo attended the funeral of Rocky Marciano in Florida at his own expense. In a 1971 interview, Vingo described Marciano as "One of the nicest guys you'd ever want to talk to."
Death
Vingo died on June 2, 2015, at age 85 of natural causes in Bronx, New York. | WIKI |

• Resolved
2nd Watch Window
Is there a way to set up a second Watch window? ... Code Composer 4.
• Guru 130905 points
Hello,
while you can open a second view, these will not be independent. What that means is that you can not watch one set of variables in one and other variables in another. They will always both show the same.
Hope this helps clarify.
Best Regards,
Lisa
• In reply to Lisa TI:
It would be good if this feature were added to Code Composer. Visual Studio gives the option of displaying up to four Watch windows.
• Yes. Try the following steps. It will be clear to see the attached screenshot.
1) In the local toolbar of an expression view, click open new view.
2) if you want an instance of the view to 'stick' to a particular debug context, click 'Pin to Debug Context' in the local toolbar of the view instance. Once you have the view instance pinned to a particular debug context, you can find a description right under the local toolbar specifying which context is tied to. It is obvious that a non-pinned view instance will tie to an 'active' debug context, whichever is currently highlighted in the debug view.
You can do the 'open new view' and 'pin to debug context' for expression view, variables view, and register view.
A little difference between ccsv5 vs ccsv4 is that, the list of expressoins in all expression view instances in v5 is 'global', while the list of expressions in v4 is local. Either the list is 'global' or 'local' per view instance, the value for each expressoin is evaluated for the 'pinned' debug context (if pinned) or the active debug context (if not pinned).
There is pros and cons of a 'global' list:
You don't have to type the same list of expressions for each view instance in v5 but you have to do so in v4.
The little drawback is that, if an expression symbol does not exist in a particualr debug context, you will see 'identifier not found' in its value cell. If you have a bunch of expressions that don't exists, you may find the view instance pretty crowded with 'useless' info. I agree, this is somthing I should look at to improve.
• In reply to 460822:
You can have any number as you want in v5.
• In reply to 460822:
I don't see an option to view Expressions in Code Composer 4.
How does one set the default for the Local window and Watch window to be decimal instead of hex?
• In reply to 460822:
Watch window in v4 is Expressions view in v5. Similarly, Local window in v4 is Variables View in v5.
To change default format in v4, go to main menu, select Window->Preference menu item, it will open a dialog. In the dialog, browse to C/C++ Debug as shown below, where you can select one format for Local and another format for Watch.
You can do a similar step to control format for v5.

Since creating an account in September 2005, I've worked on a lot of things here. This lists of articles and images on this page are pretty close to comprehensive (though no guarantees). Feel free to browse through them, though they are mostly here for my convenience in finding them.
Of special note: I founded WikiProject Japan in March 2006 in order to help organize efforts to improve Japan-related articles. I also created the Speculative fiction portal as a way to encourage people to explore all the science fiction, fantasy, horror, and related content we have on Wikipedia. Go and poke around there; you never know what you may find.
COI stuff
Just to make things clear, here's some information about possible conflicts of interest I may have.
I've worked at these companies:
* Action Target - COI when created as draft article (I was a temp employee then), no COI when it was moved to mainspace (after the temp job finished and I worked elsewhere).
* Ancestry.com - COI when first editing in late 2005 to mid-2007, all edits to clean it up and improve it.
* Ancestry Magazine - only ever edited it as a redirect
* Family Tree Maker - only ever edited it as a redirect
* Heritage Makers - was briefly owned by Ancestry (Sep 2005 to Aug 2006), never edited it during that time.
* Aquaveo, makers of:
* GMS (software)
* SMS (hydrology software)
* Heritage Internet Technologies - my edits were trying to make it neutral as one or more other editors were making great efforts to make it not neutral.
I've volunteered for the following:
* Conduit (convention) - I volunteered for it multiple times over the years, but no direct or indirect financial interest.
* Life, the Universe, & Everything (symposium) - I volunteered for it multiple times over the years, but no direct or indirect financial interest.
* Association for Mormon Letters - this is very recent (late 2023), and I haven't edited the article for years (or the AML Awards article, for that matter)
* Leading Edge (magazine) - Way back in the day (around the mid-1990s), I volunteered a few times reading some stories for them. I haven't done anything beyond that, so I don't consider myself as having a COI now, but I'm listing it here anyway.
* Anime Banzai - I volunteered on and off for several years, but I haven't done anything with them for a few years
* Nausicaa.net - I helped document information that is on the site, but it's been about 10-15 years since I did anything there.
* Internet Speculative Fiction Database - I enter a lot of information there, and also review submissions by others.
These articles I created. I would have a COI now due to publishing work I've done, but not when they were created. Those marked with "charity anthology" mean I edited a charity anthology that included one their works:
* Michael R. Collings (charity anthology, also published a collection of his essays, poetry, and stories)
* Nancy Fulda (charity anthology)
* Paul Genesse (charity anthology)
* Bryan Thomas Schmidt (charity anthology)
* Eric G. Swedin (charity anthology)
* Kevin Wasden (charity anthology)
* Nothing Left to Lose (novel) (Dan Wells novel) (charity anthology)
* Hellhole (novel) (Kevin J. Anderson novel) (charity anthology)
These I did not create. I would have a COI now due to publishing work I've done, though I didn't create the articles. Those marked with "charity anthology" mean I edited a charity anthology that included one their works:
* Kevin J. Anderson (charity anthology)
* D. J. Butler (charity anthology, also published a collection of his short fiction)
* Michaelbrent Collings
* Meredith Dillman
* Esther M. Friesner - I have never edited this article.
* Mercedes Lackey (charity anthology)
* Jonathan Maberry - I have never edited this article.
* Jody Lynn Nye - I have never edited this article.
* Alex Shvartsman (charity anthology) - I have never edited this article.
* Eric James Stone (charity anthology)
* Sandra Tayler (charity anthology, only edited prior to that except for one edit removing an unsourced small bit of info)
* Brad R. Torgersen (charity anthology)
* Dan Wells (author) (charity anthology)
* Dave Wolverton (charity anthology) | WIKI |

I also had to revert for an issue with resolving happanel.
@chriscolden
Is your issue completely different from the one weakfl is reporting in this thread right? Sorry I missed this. Is there any way you can post in the 2.5M3 testing thread in the development category and provide any details on your issue with habpanel?
I think they are both related to the 2.5.0~S1710-1 snapshot. I downgraded to 2.5.0~S1709-1 almost immediately as it was newer than the build i was on. I just assumed it was a bad build so didn’t do any digging. I did go through a clean cache ect, but that didn’t help. I wasn’t able to ssh into the console while i had this either.
I can see if its still in my logs, but the root cause was a failure to resolve the happanel ui package.

Shred-it
Shred-it is an information security solution provided by Stericycle Inc. Its services include document destruction, hard drive destruction, and specialty item shredding. The company is also known for its Annual Data Protection Report commissioned with Ipsos, a yearly survey of small business owners, C-level executives and consumers focusing on data protection and information security.
History
Greg Brophy founded Shred-it in 1988 and incorporated the company in 1989. In 1993, Brophy expanded the business by launching a manufacturing division called Securit Manufacturing Solutions "SMS". Today, SMS manufactures security consoles and specialty shredding trucks for all Shred-it's branches. It also sells industrial shredding equipment to other secure information destruction businesses.
In 2014, Shred-it merged with Cintas Document Shredding, which now operates under the Shred-it name.
In 2015, Stericycle acquired Shred-it and began positioning the company as one of its many waste management and compliance services.
Document Destruction
Shred-it offers document destruction services where paper documents are shredded using industrial paper shredders. This service is offered on a one-time or on a recurring basis.
Shred-it maintains a fleet of trucks that can provide this service on-site or deliver materials to Shred-it's facilities for destruction. The trucks are prominently featured at Community Shred-it events, where Shred-it partners with organizations like Crime Stoppers, to raise awareness about identity theft and fraud, while providing a safe way to dispose of documents with confidential information. Shred-it provides a custom quote for every document destruction job and ensures all paper waste is recycled.
Hard Drive, Digital Media, and Specialty Item Destruction
Shred-it provides secure information destruction for hard drives and digital media. Deliberately damaging these devices is the only way to ensure confidential information can no longer be retrieved. Shred-it has two methods for securely destroying digital information. Shearing slices hard drives into minuscule pieces using 40,000 lbs of combined force while crushing uses 7,500 lbs of force pressure to drill irreparable holes in the hard drive, so information can never be recovered.
The company also offers specialty item shredding, which involves destruction of any item that poses a threat to a business’ reputation or security. Shred-it's specialty item services dispose of items, like uniforms to casino chips, ID badges, prototypes, pill bottles, or material with outdated branding. | WIKI |

Margaret Altmann
Margaret Altmann (1900–1984) was a German-American biologist focusing on animal husbandry and psychobiology. She was one of the first women to work in the psychobiology, ethology and animal husbandry fields, with a focus on livestock.
Early life and education
Margaret Altmann was born in Berlin, German Empire. She worked in farm management. She attended the University of Bonn for rural economics. She received her PhD from Bonn in 1928. After graduation, she stayed in Germany and worked in the government farm industry, focusing on the breeding of dairy animals. In 1933, she relocated to the United States. She attended Cornell University. In 1938, Altmann received her second PhD from Cornell, with a degree in animal breeding from the psychobiology department. In the same year she became a citizen of the United States.
Career
Altmann started working at the Hampton Institute, where she was associate professor, and then professor. She taught animal genetics and animal husbandry. Eventually, she started working on large wild mammals and relocated to Colorado. From 1948 until 1956 she lived in Colorado, working at a biological research center. During this time, she started studying psychobiology. She taught at Kenyon College. From 1959 until 1969 she taught at the University of Colorado. In 1969, she retired, and became professor emerita. She wrote papers about moose, elk and packs. Larry Squire worked under her while doing bison research in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Squire described Altmann as an "interesting character". While in Wyoming, she researched elk, riding horseback, and teaching others to ride, to follow packs.
She was a twenty-year member of the American Society of Mammalogists and published work in the Journal of Mammalogy. She was also a member of the Genetics Society of America and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Later life and legacy
In 1986, the University of Arizona held a symposium about ungulates in honor of Altmann.

troops. In the same year Canada contributed a force of voyageurs to the Nile expedition of Lord Wolseley; the experience of these men was admittedly of great assistance in navigating the Rapids. The militia sent contingents of all arms to serve in the South African War, 1899–1902, including “Strathcona’s Horse,” a special corps, recruited almost entirely from the Active Militia and the North-west Mounted Police. The latter, a permanent constabulary of mounted riflemen, was formed in 1873.
After the South African War an extensive scheme of reorganization was taken in hand, the command being exercised for two years (1902–1904) by Major-General Lord Dundonald, and subsequently by a militia council (Militia Act 1904), similar in constitution to the home Army Council. For details of the present military strength of Canada, see the article.
78. The Landsknecht infantry constituted the mainstay of the imperial armies in the 16th century. Maximilian I. and Charles V. are recorded to have marched and carried the “long pike” in their ranks. Maximilian also formed a corps of Kyrisser, who were the origin of the modern cuirassiers. It was not, however, until much later that the Austrian army came into existence as a permanent force. Rudolph II. formed a small standing force about 1600, but relied upon the “enlistment” system, like other sovereigns of the time, for the bulk of his armies. The Thirty Years’ War produced the permanence of service which led in all the states of Europe to the rise of standing armies. In the Empire it was Wallenstein who first raised a distinctly imperial army of soldiers owing no duty but to the sovereign; and it was the suspicion that he intended to use this army, which was raised largely at his own expense, to further his own ends, that led to his assassination. From that time the regiments belonged no longer to their colonels, but to the emperor; and the oldest regiments in the present Austrian army date from the Thirty Years’ War, at the close of which Austria had 19 infantry, 6 cuirassier and 1 dragoon regiments. The almost continuous wars of Austria against France and the Turks (from 1495 to 1895 Austrian troops took part in 7000 actions of all sorts) led to a continuous increase in her establishments. The wars of the time of Montecucculi and of Eugene were followed by that of the Polish Succession, the two Turkish wars, and the three great struggles against Frederick the Great. Thus in 1763 the army had been almost continuously on active service for more than 100 years, in the course of which its organization had been modified in accordance with the lessons of each war. This, in conjunction with the fact that Austria took part in other Turkish campaigns subsequently, rendered this army the most formidable opponent of the forces of the French Revolution (1792). But the superior leading, organization and numbers of the emperor’s forces were totally inadequate to the magnitude of the task of suppressing the Revolutionary forces, and though such victories as Neerwinden were sufficient proof of the efficiency and valour of the Austrians, they made no headway. In later campaigns, in which the enemy had acquired war experience, and the best of their officers had come to the front, the tide turned against the Imperialists even on the field of battle. The archduke Charles’s victories of 1796 were more than counterbalanced by Bonaparte’s Italian campaign, and the temporary success of 1799 ended at Marengo and Hohenlinden.
79. The Austrians, during the short peace which preceded the war of 1805, suffered, in consequence of all this, from a feeling of distrust, not merely in their leaders, but also in the whole system upon which the army was raised, organized and trained. This was substantially the same as that of the Seven Years’ War time. Enlistment being voluntary and for long service, the numbers necessary to cope with the output of the French conscription could not be raised, and the inner history of the Austrian headquarters in the Ulm campaign shows that the dissensions and mutual distrust of the general officers had gone far towards the disintegration of an army which at that time had the most esprit de corps and the highest military qualities of any army in Europe. But the disasters of 1805 swept away good and bad alike in the abolition of the old system. Already the archduke Charles had designed a “nation in arms” after the French model, and on this basis the reconstruction was begun. The conscription was put in force and the necessary numbers thus obtained; the administration was at the same time reformed and the organization and supply services brought into line with modern requirements. The war of 1809 surprised Austria in the midst of her reorganization, yet the new army fought with the greatest spirit. The invasion of Bavaria was by no means so leisurely as it had been in 1805, and the archduke Charles obtained one signal victory over Napoleon in person. Aspern and Wagram were most desperately contested, and though the archduke ceased to take part in the administration after 1809 the work went on steadily until, in 1813, the Austrian armies worthily represented the combination of discipline with the “nation in arms” principle. Their intervention in the War of Liberation was decisive, and Austria, in spite of her territorial losses of the past years, put into the field well-drilled armies far exceeding in numbers those which had appeared in the wars of the Revolution. After the fall of Napoleon, Austria’s hold on Italy necessitated the maintenance of a large army of occupation. This army, and in particular its cavalry, was admittedly the best in Europe, and, having to be ready to march at a few days’ notice, it was saved from the deadening influence of undisturbed peace which affected every other service in Europe from 1815 to 1850.
80. The Austrian system has conserved much of the peculiar tone of the army of 1848, of which English readers may obtain a good idea from George Meredith’s Vittoria. It was, however, a natural result of this that the army lost to some considerable extent the spirit of the “nation in arms” of 1809 and 1813. It was employed in dynastic wars, and the conscription was of course modified by substitution; thus, when the war of 1859 resulted unfavourably to the Austrians, the army began to lose confidence, precisely as had been the case in 1805. Once more, in 1866, an army animated by the purely professional spirit, which was itself weakened by distrust, met a “nation in arms,” and in this case a nation well trained in peace and armed with a breechloader. Bad staff work, and tactics which can only be described as those of pique, precipitated the disaster, and in seven weeks the victorious Prussians were almost at the gates of Vienna.
The result of the war, and of the constitutional changes about this time, was the re-adoption of the principles of 1806–1813, the abolition of conscription and long service in favour of universal service for a short term, and a thorough reform in the methods of command and staff work. It has been said of the Prussian army that “discipline is—the officers.” This is more true of the “K.K.” army than of any other in Europe; the great bond of union between the heterogeneous levies of recruits of many races is the spirit of the corps of officers, which retains the personal and professional characteristics of the old army of Italy.
81. The French army (see for further details : Law and Institutions) dates from the middle of the 15th century, at which time Charles VII. formed, from mercenaries who had served him in the Hundred Years’ War, the compagnies d’ordonnance, and thus laid the foundation of a national standing army. But the armies that followed the kings in their wars still consisted mainly of mercenaries, hired for the occasion; and the work of Charles and his successors was completely undone in the confusion of the religious wars. Louvois, who was minister of Louis XIV., was the true creator of the French royal army. The organization of the first standing army is here given in some detail, as it served as a model for all armies for more than a century, and is also followed to some extent in our own times. Before the advent of Louvois, the forces were royal only in name. The army was a fortuitous concourse of regiments of horse and foot, each of which was the property of its colonel.

Cassandra Deletes : An Introduction
In a distributed Database, replication is key for ensuring high availability and performance. Once data gets deleted from a node in Cassandra, having a good understanding of c* deletes and tombstones will help operators and developers avoid stale reads and zombie data.
Because Cassandra is a distributed system with immutable sstables, deletes are done differently compared to a relational database. Keep in mind that 1) writes can take time to reach all replicas (eventual consistency) and 2) cassandra has a sparse data model where a missing value for a column in a row in one sstable does not mean that the value is not present in another sstable.
Deletes are accomplished by writing tombstones or 'null's to the database. Like other writes, tombstones have timestamps which allow us to determine if the tombstone is current or stale by following standard last write wins semantics (LWW).
We also have the ability to establish data retention policies via TTL (Time to Live) expiration settings which can be configured at write time or at the table level.
Once a cell's TTL expires it is treated as a tombstone for all intents and purposes.
You may wonder, if deletes are just more writes, how do I ever reclaim disk after deleting data? Cassandra does eventually clean up tombstones, but will not do so until the data fits certain criteria, giving the system ample time to ensure the tombstone makes its way to all replicas before it is removed. Otherwise we may have scenarios where deleted values would again become readable again because a tombstone only made it to a limited set of replicas and then got cleaned up. The lifetime of a tombstone is defined by gc_grace_seconds. After gc grace, the tombstone becomes available for deletion during compaction. There are additional compaction subproperties which mandate whether an sstable will get checked for tombstones. These can be found ii nn the DataStax documentation.
Implications of having too many tombstones
Tombstones protect us against stale reads but also consume additional disk and can have a negative impact on read latencies. The process of compacting away excessive numbers of tombstones is also expensive.
Imagine a workload that constantly inserts and deletes a set of partitions from Cassandra. Regular deletes would generate individual tombstones for each cell in the partition that is being deleted. Reading back these rows would be slow due to the number of sstables (usually disk operations) required to pull the latest value, and compaction would painstakingly clean up tombstones (after GC grace etc. etc.) One by one.
The rest of this article will demonstrate range tombstones, which can minimize the performance impact of deletes for a particular set of workloads.
Range Tombstones for partition wide deletes
Range Tombstones are an efficient way of deletion based on the partition key. This creates a single tombstone for an entire row, decreasing the number of tombstones read by range reads and the number of tombstones that need to be merged or cleaned up by compaction.
The following code demonstrates how range tombstones and regular tombstones are created, laid out on disk, and eventually compacted.
1: Create a Demo keyspace "autogeneratedtest" with a Table "test"
CREATE TABLE autogeneratedtest.test (
a text,
b text,
c text,
PRIMARY KEY (a, b)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (b ASC)
2: Next insert some data to the table test :
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'a', 'a', 'a' );
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'a', 'b', 'a' );
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'a', 'c', 'a' );
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'a', 'd', 'a' );
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'b', 'a', 'a' );
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'b', 'b', 'a' );
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'b', 'c', 'a' );
cqlsh> insert into autogeneratedtest.test (a, b , c ) VALUES ( 'b', 'd', 'a' );
3 : Read
select * from autogeneratedtest.test;
a | b | c
---+---+---
a | a | a
a | b | a
a | c | a
a | d | a
b | a | a
b | b | a
b | c | a
b | d | a
4: Perform a nodetool Flush -> flush Data from the memtable to SSTables on disk
$ nodetool flush
5:Use SStable2json to introspect the sstable for expiration times and tombstones counts.
This converts sstables to human readable json
$ sstable2json autogeneratedtest-test-ka-2-Data.db | jq "."
The json formatted sstable:
{"key": "a",
"cells": [["a:","",1445880794890189],
["a:c","a",1445880794890189],
["b:","",1445880802889147],
["b:c","a",1445880802889147],
["c:","",1445880808905308],
["c:c","a",1445880808905308],
["d:","",1445880813897010],
["d:c","a",1445880813897010]]},
{"key": "b",
"cells": [["a:","",1445880819440662],
["a:c","a",1445880819440662],
["b:","",1445880828536178],
["b:c","a",1445880828536178],
["c:","",1445880833840070],
["c:c","a",1445880833840070],
["d:","",1445880839727743],
["d:c","a",1445880839727743]]}
6: Perform Delete operation on the data : Here the first three statements are ordinary column deletes and the fourth statement performs a delete of the complete row using a range tombstone.
cqlsh> delete c from autogeneratedtest.test where a = 'a' AND b = 'a';
cqlsh> delete c from autogeneratedtest.test where a = 'a' AND b = 'b';
cqlsh> delete c from autogeneratedtest.test where a = 'a' AND b = 'c';
cqlsh> delete c from autogeneratedtest.test where a = 'a' AND b = 'd';
cqlsh> delete from autogeneratedtest.test WHERE a='b' ;
a | b | c
---+---+------
a | a | null
a | b | null
a | c | null
a | d | null
7:Repeat the steps 4 and 5
8: Compare the sstables after the delete operation is performed
{"key": "a",
"cells": [["a:c",1445883190,1445883190723238,"d"]
["b:c",1445883196,1445883196743264,"d"],
["c:c",1445883202,1445883202431044,"d"],
["d:c",1445883208,1445883208774698,"d"]]},
{"key": "b",
"metadata": {"deletionInfo": {"markedForDeleteAt":1445883214918032,"localDeletionTime":1445883214}},
"cells": []}
As seen from the output of the sstables, the rows with key "b", do not have an individual tombstone for each cell, instead they have a single range tombstone.
Fewer tombstones yield faster reads and quicker, less expensive compactions. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

JERUSALEM 619 sia, England, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, and Greece have each a consul resident here. The jurisdiction of the pasha of Jerusalem ex- tends northward to within 15 m. of Nablus, southward to Gaza and the confines of Egypt, and eastward to the Jordan. He is appointed by the Porte, but receives his instructions through the governor general of Syria, except in cases where despatch is necessary. His principal offi- cers and the vice governors of the towns under his jurisdiction are appointed by the governor general, but are subject to his orders, and deci- sions of the courts in criminal cases are sent to the courts at Damascus for confirmation. Most of the Jews now there are of German or Polish origin, and speak a corrupt German dialect. They are called Ashkenazim, to distinguish them from the Sephardim, consisting of Jews of Spanish and Portuguese origin, whose an- cestors were expelled from Spain and Portu- gal toward the close of the 15th century, and who speak a corrupt Spanish dialect, and of Persian and other oriental Jews. Between these two bodies little intercourse exists ; they seldom intermarry, and they pray in different synagogues. The Jewish community inhabit a particular portion of the city; but of late years, in consequence of increasing numbers, they have extended their quarter far into the Mohammedan part, and many live in the sub- urbs. The Jews' quarter proper is badly built and filthy, and the people suffer much from crowded dwellings, scarcity of water, and ex- treme poverty. Their chief rabbi is elected for life, and is recognized by the Sublime Porte in this capacity. He is entitled to send a delegate to act as a member of each local court in suits to which Jews who are Turkish subjects are parties. The Spanish-Portuguese Jews being subjects of the Porte, the right of election was vested in them, and the chief rabbi always was one of the Sephardim. To this the Ashkenazim objected; but being un- able to carry their point, they elected one of their own number as their chief rabbi. Though not recognized by the Porte, he has great in- fluence over the foreign Jews. The Jews, in differences among themselves, are governed by their rabbinical laws, preferring to abide by the decisions of their rabbis rather than carry their cases before gentile courts.. The Greek Christians are Arabs, Greeks, and Syrians, and speak only the Arabic language, except the superior clergy, who are natives of Greece and the archipelago. They have eight con- vents in the city. The Greek patriarch has more power and influence than any of the other spiritual chiefs in the city, and his church is the wealthiest. He is officially recognized by the Turkish government as the chief of the Greek church in Syria, and is entitled to send representatives to act as members in the local courts. Under him are two classes of priests besides the ordinary monks. They are the married clergy, who do not aspire to the higher grades in the church, and the unmarried. The latter live together in the grand convent, or are appointed abbots and assistants to the other monasteries under the surveillance of the patriarch. The Latin Christians, or Roman Catholics, who are principally seceders from the Greek church, also speak Arabic. They have a patriarch, who exercises spiritual over- sight over all the Catholic churches in Syria, but is recognized by the Turkish government only as a distinguished personage, and does not enjoy equal privileges with the Greek, Jewish, and Armenian spiritual heads, partly in consequence of his being a foreign subject. The right of sending representatives of the Roman Catholic community is vested in the abbot of all the Catholic convents in the country, who is always an Italian, his vicar a Frenchman, and the treasurer a Spaniard. He is appointed by the pope every three years. The Catholics at Jerusalem have one large con- vent, that of the Holy Saviour, and two nun- neries, that of the order of St. Joseph or sis- ters of charity, and that of the daughters of Zion. No males are admitted into the latter, except monks and priests. There are 14 other convents in Syria, subject to the abbot of this principal one. The Armenians number about 200 ; they have one large convent, that of St. James, in the most elevated part of the. city, and a patriarch, who is recognized in that ca- pacity by the Turkish government, and who enjoys equal privileges with the Greek patri- arch and Jewish chief rabbi. The Protestant population numbers about 200. An Anglican bishop resides here, with a diocese including Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Abyssinia. This bishopric was established in 1841 by the joint action of the Prussian and British governments, and its incumbent is cho- sen alternately by the sovereigns of England and Prussia. Besides exercising supervision over a few schools, and occasionally officiating in the Protestant church, the duties of the bishop are almost nominal, as the work of preaching and conducting the Protestant insti- tutions is managed by the missionaries. The Copts, Abyssinians, and Syrians have convents in the city, and altogether amount to about 100 persons. The non-Protestant Christians at Jerusalem are in a measure dependent on their convents, which allow them house rent and other gratuities. As nearly every commu- nity carries on a work of proselyting, it fre- quently happens that these Christians embrace each denomination in turn, as the chances favor. In 1867 the pasha commenced build- ing a carriage road between Jerusalem and Jaffa, the money for the purpose being raised by taxation. For want of proper engineers and energy in the commissioners, it was imper- fectly completed in about 18 months, and stage coaches carried passengers between Jerusalem and Jaffa. The work was about to be extended when a new governor was appointed, and it was discontinued. The inhabitants of Jeru- salem get their support mainly from the pil- | WIKI |

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Installing DIY Water Filtration Systems
22 July 2024 by Jannat R.
Plumbing
Ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for any modern home, and installing a DIY water filtration system can be a cost-effective and practical solution. However, it's important to approach the installation process with caution and attention to detail in order to avoid common mistakes that could impact the system's effectiveness. Understanding water quality, choosing the right filter, following installation instructions, monitoring pressure levels, and addressing maintenance and troubleshooting issues are all crucial elements to consider when embarking on a water filtration project. In this article, we will explore the common mistakes to avoid when installing DIY water filtration systems in order to ensure optimal performance and peace of mind for you and your family.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Installing DIY Water Filtration Systems
Understanding Water Quality and Filter Compatibility
Water quality can vary greatly depending on location, and it's essential to have a clear understanding of any contaminants or impurities present in your water supply. This will help you determine the type of filtration system you need to effectively purify your water and ensure the health and safety of your household. Additionally, understanding the compatibility of different filters with your water source will ensure that you choose the right filter for your specific needs, maximizing the effectiveness of your filtration system.
Choosing the Right Filter Size and Type for Your Needs
When it comes to DIY water filtration systems, one of the most important steps is choosing the right filter size and type for your specific needs. This involves understanding the water quality in your area and determining which contaminants you need to remove. It's essential to research and compare different filter options to find the best one for your home. Making the right choice in filter size and type can ensure that your water is effectively and efficiently filtered, providing you with clean and safe drinking water.
Following Installation Instructions and Avoiding Improper Setup
Following installation instructions and avoiding improper setup is crucial when installing DIY water filtration systems. It is important to carefully read and understand the manufacturer's installation guidelines to ensure that the system is installed correctly and functions properly. Improper setup can not only lead to the system not working as intended but can also cause damage to the unit or the plumbing in your home. Taking the time to follow the instructions and ensuring that the setup is done correctly will ultimately save you time and headaches in the long run.
Monitoring Pressure Levels and Avoiding DIY Modifications
Pressure levels can indicate issues with the system, such as clogs or leaks, and should be checked regularly to ensure the system is functioning properly. DIY modifications to the water filtration system can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage to the system. It is important to follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer and refrain from making any unauthorized alterations to the system. By monitoring pressure levels and avoiding DIY modifications, homeowners can ensure that their water filtration system operates at optimal efficiency and effectively removes contaminants from their water supply.
Regular Maintenance, Timely Filter Replacements, and Sanitization
Regular maintenance, timely filter replacements, and sanitization are essential aspects of ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of DIY water filtration systems. With regular use, filters can become clogged and less effective at removing contaminants from the water. To maintain optimal performance, it is important to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations for replacing filters at regular intervals. Additionally, sanitizing the filtration system can help to prevent the buildup of bacteria and other harmful pathogens, ensuring that the water remains clean and safe for consumption. By staying on top of maintenance and replacement schedules, homeowners can ensure that their water filtration system continues to provide high-quality, clean water for their household needs.

Leaks can lead to wasted water, damage to the surrounding area, and a decrease in water pressure. It is important to carefully inspect all connections and fittings to ensure they are secure and properly sealed. Inadequate sealing can result in a loss of water pressure and allow unfiltered water to bypass the filtration system. Additionally, addressing leaks and ensuring proper sealing will contribute to the overall efficiency and longevity of the water filtration system.
Testing Water Post-Installation and Troubleshooting Common Issues
Testing the water post-installation will help to verify that the filtration system is removing contaminants and providing clean, safe water for your household. Common issues that may arise during the post-installation testing process include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors or tastes in the water, or the presence of particles or sediment in the water. Troubleshooting these issues may require adjusting the filter settings, checking for leaks or loose connections, or replacing old or clogged filters. It is advisable to perform a water quality test using a water testing kit or by sending a sample to a certified laboratory. This will help to determine if any contaminants are still present in the water and if the filtration system is effectively removing them. It is also important to monitor the water pressure and flow rate to ensure that the system is functioning optimally. If any issues are identified during the testing process, it is crucial to troubleshoot and address them promptly to avoid any potential health risks or water quality issues. This may involve referring to the manufacturer's instructions, seeking professional assistance, or replacing faulty components. Regular testing of the water post-installation and promptly addressing any issues that arise will help to ensure that your DIY water filtration system continues to provide clean, safe water for your home. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Is ATKINS Ketogenic
Is ATKINS Ketogenic Diet and What is The Difference Between Them?
Spread the love
The Atkins diet is gaining popularity these days which is a high protein and low carbohydrate diet, which makes some ask is ATKINS ketogenic?
The ketogenic diet, means it induces ketosis in the body. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body uses fat for energy instead of glucose. The general idea behind the Atkins diet is that you should restrict carbohydrates, while eating high amounts of protein, which in theory will maximize fat production. The Atkins diet has been successful in treating obesity by inducing ketosis.
Is ATKINS Ketogenic?
Atkins diet is ketogenic which means that it induces ketosis, however, it’s not the same as keto diet.
As known, Atkins diet makes you pass through 4 phases. You begin the first phase by almost cutting all carbs, then, adding it gradually on the later Atkins phases.
However, the reason of weight loss is not clear whether this is because the body is more efficient at burning fat for energy, or because people eat less on the Atkins diet .
The Atkins ketogenic diet seems to be all the rage. However, there is more than one way to lose weight. The Atkins diet was designed as a short-term low carb solution for rapid weight loss and getting your body into a state where you can effectively do a long term healthy fat-loss diet.
Check out atkins meal plan for 7 days phase 1
Most people fail in long term weight loss because they never get out of the first stage. They keep depriving themselves of the valuable nutrients they need to fuel the body. However, this can slow metabolism.
Which is better? The Keto Diet or the Atkins Diet?
There are many different types of diets that people can try in order to lose weight, but the keto diet and the atkins diet are two of the most popular. Both diets are low-carbohydrate diets, but they have different approaches.
The keto diet focuses on eating a lot of healthy fats, while the atkins diet allows a wider range of foods.
So, which is better?
There are a few benefits of the Atkins diet over the keto diet;
• The Atkins diet is less restrictive, and allows for more variety in foods.
• Atkins diet is also easier to follow, as there are no specific food restrictions.
• The Atkins diet may be better for people who have difficulty following a strict keto diet.
• Rather than keto diet Atkins diet is not as strict as keto diet. The two diets are very similar, but the Atkins diet is intended to be a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix for weight loss.
• Adherence to the ketogenic diet has shown to be difficult for many healthcare professionals and dietitians. .
Benefits of keto diet over Atkins
The keto diet is the better option for most people. The reason why keto is better than atkins is because it helps you to manage your blood sugar. For example, if you are following the atkins diet and consume too many carbs, your blood sugar will spike and make you hungry.
This leads to increased sugar intake, which is known as hypoglycemia. The keto diet does not produce this effect, which makes it better for those who have diabetes or who have other conditions that make controlling their blood sugar levels more important.
Check out 10 Health Benefits Of Keto Diet
• Keto encourages whole foods, but Atkins does not
• Ketogenic diet would force people to switch to much smaller portions of foods, while Atkins allows them to have just a little bit of the old stuff.
• Keto regulates carbohydrates, while Atkins has no carbohydrate limit .
• The keto diet regulates portion size and how much to eat, while Atkins does not.
• Keto is a food restriction diet and the Atkins diet is a weight loss diet.
• The keto diet requires some carbohydrate reduction for survival, while Atkins allows for a normal, if somewhat reduced, level of carbohydrate consumption.
• Keto generally has more restrictive dietary guidelines than Atkins, as its diet restricts a few foods that are okay in Atkins.
Sugar-Free, Keto-Friendly, Low-Carb: the Amazing Difference Between Atkins
Did you know that Atkins are not the same as all other low-carb diets? Did you also know that certain Atkins substitutes may be more helpful for you than others? This article will give you tips on how to choose the right kind of alternative, depending on your dietary needs.
Atkins is a keto-friendly, low-carb diet that can help you lose weight. It focuses on eating foods that are low in carbs and high in protein and healthy fats. It has many different stages, depending on your weight.
The diet is based on the Atkins low-carbohydrate diet which was designed for those who need fast results.
Dieters who do Atkins need to have their carb intake very low and must eat plenty of protein and healthy fats.
Some of the foods to eat on the Atkins diet include cheese, broccoli, and low-carb vegetable soups.
There are various options for Atkins substitutes depending on your needs and personal preferences.
Some of the substitutes that you can use include egg whites, milk and yogurt, rice protein powder, peanut butter, meat alternatives such as chicken, seafood, or turkey and many others. The Atkins diet can be used by both men and women.
The Atkins diet is not recommended for older adults. The diet is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, which may be difficult for older adults to digest. Additionally, the diet is very restrictive and may be difficult to follow long-term.

Free Weight Exercises for the Rhomboids
Woman exercising in desert
Located in your upper back and between your shoulder blades, the rhomboids are responsible for shoulder retraction, or the drawing of your shoulder blades together. If the rhomboids are weak or tight due to disuse, your shoulders will drift forward -- a common problem for people with sedentary lifestyles. If you incorporate a lot of horizontal pressing movements in your workout, such as bench presses, and focus only on biceps, lats and chest development, you may be neglecting your rhomboids. This, too, can lead to a muscular imbalance in which your shoulders roll forward and your neck juts out. Free weight exercises, ranging in intensity from beginner to intermediate, can help to strengthen your rhomboids and improve your posture. Always consult your doctor before beginning this or any exercise regimen, and consider working with a personal trainer to help maintain proper technique.
Bent-Over Rows
A beginner exercise that isolates and conditions your rhomboids is the bent-over row with dumbbells. Begin by standing with feet shoulder-width apart and bent over at the waist so your trunk is parallel to the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip by your sides, arms extending straight down and knees slightly bent. Make sure the weights are heavy enough to complete only 12 reps. Lighter weights and higher reps won’t stimulate the larger fast-twitch fibers in your rhomboids or encourage muscle growth. Turn your palms in so they face each other. Exhale and slowly lift the dumbbells to the sides of your waist, only bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Hold the peak position for a second, inhale and then lower the weights back to starting position. Perform eight to 12 reps for three sets.
T-Bar Rows
An intermediate exercise that will hit every muscle in your back, including your rhomboids, is a T-Bar row. This variation of the row allows you to use a higher load as well as a neutral grip -- palms facing in -- which is the strongest grip for a row. If you don’t have access to a landmine unit, place one end of the bar in the corner of the room and weigh it down with a heavy plate or dumbbell (consult a personal trainer to determine what amount of weight is right for you, if you're at all unsure). After attaching the desired amount of weight on the other end, straddle the bar and face the weighted end. Bend at the hips at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Invert a V-grip handle and hook it under the bar, holding the ends of the handle. Exhale and pull the bar until the weights brush your chest. Inhale and return to starting position. Perform five to 10 reps for three to six sets.
Reverse Flyes
Reverse flyes with dumbbells, a beginner pulling exercise, will strengthen the muscles in your shoulders, upper and middle back and give your rhomboids a rigorous workout. Begin by sitting on the edge of a chair or bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and lean forward at the waist until your chest touches the fronts of your thighs. Allow your arms to extend down by your sides with palms facing each other and elbows slightly bent. Exhale, and slowly lift your arms to your sides in a fluid sweeping motion until they’re at shoulder level. Inhale and return to starting position. Perform eight to 12 reps for three sets. You can also do reverse flyes in either a standing position with your torso bent forward at the hips or prone on an incline bench.
Bat Wings
Target your rhomboids by doing a variation of a bent-over row in which you mimic the shape of bat wings. Hold a heavy kettlebell or dumbbell in each hand and lie face-down on a bench. Allow your hands to hang down and rest the weights on the ground. Exhale and slowly raise the kettlebells up toward your ribs. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement, inhale and then slowly lower the weights to starting position. The exercise’s range of movement should only be about 6 inches, which makes the reps almost seem like isometric contractions. Perform 15 reps for four sets. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Building pyramids for the Egyptian Pharaohs so that they could be buried with riches and all that they wished to take with them in their next life was widespread through many dynasties. It is a practice that continued to be important in Egyptian civilization since its inception. Niuserre, an ancient King of the Fifth Dynasty, followed the footsteps of his father, uncle, and brother and built a burial chamber for himself in the Necropolis of Abusir, where his forefathers lay. However, his pyramid or burial ground was built in a different manner than others of his lineage, which makes it of special interest to archaeologists and Egyptologists.
Construction Of Niuserre's Pyramid
The pyramid of Niuserre was built differently than the others of his family. While his father's, uncle, and brothers' pyramids were built with a diagonal angle pointing towards the Heliopolis, he broke this pattern by making his pyramid be constructed between that of his father and uncle. The breaking of the regular pattern gave him less space for building his chambers, but he continued nevertheless. The result of such an adjustment meant that his burial grounds were smaller in comparison to the others. The main pyramid was constructed with limestone as its building material and base. The structure was inclined to a degree of fifty-two.
Structure Of Niuserre's Pyramid
The entire complex of the Mortuary Temple of Niuserre comprises his burial pyramid, an attached pyramid, a mortuary
temple, a valley temple, a causeway, and an offering hall. Archeological discoveries and research have found traces of two smaller pyramids in this complex. While the common explanation is that it could have been the pyramids of his queens, that theory is not confirmed.
Mortuary Temple Of Niuserre
The unusually built mortuary temple of Niuserre is built in an L-shape. It is built in the eastern complex of the pyramid but runs in a unique southern direction from there. A common explanation for such an unusual shape is because there were other pyramids built in the area, the mortuary temple got less space to be extended and was thus extended in the L shape within the only space made available to it.
Despite its main shape differing from those of normal temples built during that time, the elements of the temple remain typical. The temple was built in two sections: one inner temple and the other the outer temple. It had altars for rituals and sacrifices, and the inner temple had lots of storerooms in it. The outer temple extended to the outside of the complex, where it had a courtyard and pillars.
Valley Temple And Causeway
The foundations and base structure for Niuserre's valley temple were borrowed from the tomb of Sahure (his uncle). Niuserre's Valley Temple consists of a portico and four columns. A small chamber connected the Valley Temple with the Causeway. The walls and floors of the temple were constructed with limestone and basalt, respectively. There were painted relics on the walls of this Temple. | FINEWEB-EDU |

The Economist-YouGov survey finds a closer race nationally than most other polls. Biden leads the field by nearly 13 points in the RealClearPolitics average, with most other recent surveys putting his level of support in the 30 percent range.

That poll found Biden at 25 percent, followed by Warren at 18 and Sanders at 13. But Warren might have the most room to grow — 50 percent of Democrats surveyed said they’re considering voting for her, compared to 45 percent who said the same of Biden and 44 percent who said they’re considering Sanders.

Liver receptor homolog-1
The liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) also known as totipotency pioneer factor NR5A2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A, member 2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR5A2 gene. LRH-1 is a member of the nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors.
LRH-1 plays a critical role in the regulation of development, cholesterol transport, bile acid homeostasis and steroidogenesis.
LRH-1 is important for maintaining pluripotence of stem cells during embryonic development.
Nr5a2 was recently identified at a totipotent pioneer factor. The orphan nuclear receptor Nr5a2 has been shown to be important in fertility, ovarian function, and zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Heterozygosity for Nr5a2 is associated with reduced ovarian function, specifically in the synthesis of progesterone. This impaired progesterone production was associated with infertility in female mice, as well as increased incidence of pregnancy loss. The loss of embryos around implantation associated with Nr5a2+/- mice indicated a possible interaction with genome-wide gene expression in early embryo development. Upon further investigation, Nr5a2 was found to regulate ZGA in mice embryos similar to that of Zelda in Drosophila. Nr5a2 is maternally contributed and regulates transcription activity in the early embryo by binding to distal cis-regulatory sequences and promoting chromatin accessibility. The change in chromatin conformation allows for the activation of transcription of about 72% of genes involved in ZGA.
Interactions
Liver receptor homolog-1 has been shown to interact with the small heterodimer partner. | WIKI |

* The account was just created today: 16:16, 19 June 2008 Ragimiri (Talk | contribs | block) Account created automatically
* Could it be that you used it for login already ? If it is not you, then the renaming can not be done so easily. And usurpation, see below would be needed. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 16:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 06:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, its correct now. Could you Block the old account and page ? Rjclaudio 18:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
* Unfortunately there is no 100% proof that the old account was yours. A block could prevent the "owner" to participate effectively here at Wikiversity at next log in and cause negative feelings right at start.

* User talk:Jtneill
* I'd like to wait a little longer if that is ok with you ? Or is there an urgent case to proceed the renaming ? I will respond on another page about other things, so this edit here focuses on just the renaming. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 16:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I would like to usurp. I am w:User:B and the owner of the User:B global account. (I use this name - UserB - only on Commons, where there is someone else who goes by User:B.) You don't need to rename my UserB account as I have no contributions here - if you can just rename User:B to something else, then my global account can take over. For confirmation that I am both global accounts, you can see w:User talk:UserB where I linked both of them. Thanks. --UserB 11:17, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

United States Code/Title 28/Appendix/Federal Rules of Civil Procedure/Rule 10
Rule 10. Form of Pleadings
(a) Caption; Names of Parties. Every pleading must have a caption with the court’s name, a title, a file number, and a Rule 7 (a) designation. The title of the complaint must name all the parties; the title of other pleadings, after naming the first party on each side, may refer generally to other parties.
(b) Paragraphs; Separate Statements. A party must state its claims or defenses in numbered paragraphs, each limited as far as practicable to a single set of circumstances. A later pleading may refer by number to a paragraph in an earlier pleading. If doing so would promote clarity, each claim founded on a separate transaction or occurrence—and each defense other than a denial—must be stated in a separate count or defense.
(c) Adoption by Reference; Exhibits. A statement in a pleading may be adopted by reference elsewhere in the same pleading or in any other pleading or motion. A copy of a written instrument that is an exhibit to a pleading is a part of the pleading for all purposes. | WIKI |

Science Fair (album)
Science Fair is an album by Emm Gryner, released in 1999 on Gryner's independent label Dead Daisy Records.
Within just two months of its release, Science Fair had significantly outsold its major label predecessor, Public, despite its more limited independent label distribution and marketing budget.
Production
The album was recorded by Gryner in Ontario and Los Angeles, on an 8-track recorder.
Critical reception
Exclaim! wrote: "Recalling such unhip icons as Fleetwood Mac and Carole King, as well as more contemporary sounds of Sarah McLachlan, Science Fair sees Gryner on the verge of a breakthrough, in terms of developing her own voice."
AllMusic wrote that the album "has substance and succeeds in every way by relying on beautiful melodies, skillful musicianship, and the heartfelt performances of a remarkably gifted young artist."

Veterans of the conflict saw the gridiron as a perfect training ground for soldier-scholars.
How the Civil War Created College Football
At a ceremony in Cambridge, Mass., on June 10, 1890, the philanthropist Henry Lee Higginson declared, “I ask to make [Soldiers Field] a memorial to some dear friends who gave their lives … to their country and to their fellow men in the hour of great need — the War of the Rebellion.” The 31 acres of marshlands and pasture that Higginson donated to Harvard College, his alma mater, would serve as the site of the country’s oldest concrete football arena, Harvard Stadium, built over a decade later in 1903. As he memorialized the Civil War dead, the Union veteran addressed a group of 400 male students and alumni, most of whom were too young to have experienced and learned from the horrors of battle during the nation’s bloodiest war. Like Higginson, however, many late-19th-century Americans saw a deep connection between the battlefield and the athletic field, believing that collegiate athletics, including football, could teach the next generation their “own duties as men and citizens of the Republic” and train them to manage “the burden of carrying on this country in the best way.” | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Are acute infusion reactions after rituximab underreported?
Prafull Mohan, Shah Nazar, Pooja Gupta
Abstract
Background: Rigorous premarketing trials may fail to capture safety issues associated with new drugs. This is more likely to happen in case of biopharmaceuticals. We take the case of rituximab, and anti CD20 monoclonal antibody, which was the first monoclonal antibody to get approval. This open label observational study was done with the objective of estimating the incidence of acute infusion reaction associated with rituximab infusion.
Methods: The study population consisted of patients hospitalized for receiving rituximab, in day care centre(s) of a tertiary care hospital. Number and type of acute infusion reactions (AIR) were recorded on a case record form along with patient characteristics and medical history.
Results: A total of 50 infusions were observed and all infusions were followed by at least one AIR. Total 71 AIRs were recorded among these 50 infusions (1.4 AIR per infusion). Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was the commonest indication for which patients were receiving rituximab. In a subset analysis, incidence of AIR was statistically lower in patients having received corticosteroids as premedication. However, brand of rituximab, gender of the patient and first or second cycle had no bearing on incidence of AIRs.
Conclusions: AIRs are more common in real time clinical settings than what is reported. There is a need to formulate appropriate risk management plan depending on post marketing clinical data. Use of corticosteroids as premedication may be one such strategy. New drugs, esp biopharmaceuticals, may have unidentified/under reported safety issues and there is a need to undertake focussed pharmacovigilance endeavours to unravel them.

The School Prepping for Apocalypse
THE MORNING SCHOOL run proceeds, at first glance, like any number of demographically adjacent — affluent, socially progressive, private — school runs the world over: There are lithe yoga moms, dads with beards and the occasional man bun, kids with Messi jerseys and top-heavy backpacks. There are hurried embraces and pods of parents, to-go lattes in hand, swapping information and gossip. This boisterous procession — from filing past the security guard to the mass exodus when the first-period bell sounds — takes 10 minutes before calm descends. But at Bali’s Green School, if you look past the familiarities of this ritual, incongruities begin to emerge, as in a spot-the-differences puzzle from a children’s workbook. First, that bell is a gong. Second, there is the incontrovertible fact that the school is in the jungle — some 20 acres of rolling terrain abutting the Ayung (Bali’s longest river) in the district of Abiansemal, about a half-hour southwest of Ubud. Then there’s the fact that almost all of the structures — even the basketball backboards — are made of bamboo. These are no simple huts, but grand, occasionally towering wall-less structures, graceful and whimsical, that resemble some southern extension of “The Lord of the Rings.” Sometimes, during the rainy season, the rain will fall so hard on the roof that the teachers (prefaced with the Balinese honorifics pak or ibu) temporarily halt lessons because they can’t be heard. Shoes are optional. Students read from the well-stocked (if mildew-prone) library, but they have also built bridges and bamboo bikes — as well as the school playground. While some schools might employ the word “green” in the context of their LEED-certified building or cafeteria recycling effort, this place takes green to another level. Instead of SUVs, kids might show up in used-cooking-oil-fueled Bio Buses (another project led by students, one of whom recently represented Indonesia at the 2017 Miss World pageant). School lunch is cooked with sawdust fuel from a local bamboo farm, and served on ingka, or straw baskets with a compostable banana-leaf lining. There is a menagerie of rabbits, pigs and chickens. (The fourth-graders took out a loan to buy the chickens, and now raise them and sell their eggs, in a typically immersive Green School introduction to economics.) There’s a food-generating aquaponics facility, and an aviary for the endangered Bali starling. There is the occasional snake — the music teacher found a bright-green viper under the mixing board one morning — but there’s a “snake man” who can be summoned to remove particularly dangerous ones. A mud pit, not far from the kindergarten, is for mepantigan, a Balinese martial art, often practiced in nearby rice fields. Even after the kids have gone to class, one still finds surprising numbers of parents milling about, enticed by the open-air cafe (the best coffee for miles), the biweekly on-site farmer’s market or the chocolate-matcha macaroons at Living Food Lab, a raw restaurant run by a Finnish school parent. Not to mention the Wi-Fi. And, on a day like the one on which I had arrived, there was a rare Balinese ceremony. Today was the first day of resi gana, a purifying ritual (celebrated every 25 years) for the land upon which the school sits. The teachers, rather than wearing their customary shorts and T-shirts, were in sarongs. Holy men and Balinese royalty had been invited. One element of resi gana — and here, in a fascinating estuarial swirl of cultures, was where the norms of a progressive educational institution met Bali’s uniquely animistic strain of Hinduism — involves animal sacrifice. “They don’t teach you this in administrative school,” said Leslie Medema, the head of school, a straightforward South Dakota native. Through some diplomacy, she was able to arrange for the actual sacrifices to occur off campus. I had absorbed all this information — which I instantly stereotyped as “The Mosquito Coast”-meets-Left Coast — in the first hour of my visit. Stretch this — all this — over the course of a semester and you can begin to imagine what the Green School experience might be like. In the library, I had seen a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book; it seemed the best way to describe what was happening all around. As Melinda Chickering, the school’s academic adviser, told me, “This isn’t for everyone. Some kids are super sensitive. There’s a lot of sound, a lot of color, there are animals. There are a lot of variables here.” Heather Blair, a 2016 Green School graduate now at the New School in New York, says that when she used to lead tours of the school, “people couldn’t even comprehend that it was a school in front of them.” Like visitors to a temple, she says, they would take pictures. But the element that truly distinguishes Green School is its very premise. Begun a decade ago by John and Cynthia Hardy, jewelry designers and longtime Bali residents, it was intended to do nothing less than create a future generation of “green leaders,” even as it would defy — in form and function — what we know as school itself. In a much-viewed 2010 TED Talk, John Hardy, clad in sarong and sandals, speaks passionately about his own early troubles as a student (owing, in part, to his undiagnosed dyslexia) and how his school differs from a traditional educational institute. That talk, and, more importantly, word of mouth, has lured more than one parent to Bali from as far afield as Malibu, Budapest and São Paulo — and often, unlike “The Mosquito Coast,” it was the kids prompting the decision to come. The Green School was not simply the default option, as it is with other international schools, for expat families employed by nearby multinationals. Today, its student body (consisting of 435 students, from pre-K to high school, across 35 nationalities) has more than quadrupled from its original size. The school has become a sort of bamboo beacon, a pilgrimage site for progressive educators, a stop for TED-circuit global luminaries from Ban Ki-moon to Jane Goodall. “We’re the little school in the jungle that got big,” Medema said. Its popularity offers the provocative suggestion that the next generation of leaders requires not necessarily math or literature or history — though Green School teaches those too — but a wider set of tools, ranging from adaptability to teamwork to the sort of problem-solving that flourishes under conditions of constraint, which will prove useful in a world whose resources will only continue to diminish. It is a prep school meant to do more than merely prepare students for college, but also equip them with survival skills for an unknown new world, in which proficiency with alternative fuels and sustainable building practices — and the experience of living in a nontraditional, unpredictable environment — might be more useful benchmarks than SAT scores. FOR ALL ITS idealistic trappings, Green School was founded, initially, on a pragmatic concern. “I wanted to stay in Bali,” John Hardy told me, “and I didn’t have anywhere to send the kids.” John, who grew up in Canada, moved to Ubud in 1975. He met Cynthia in Bali in the ’80s, and their two daughters attended Green School. (Hardy’s other two children, from a previous marriage, were too old to attend by the time the school was founded, though his eldest, Elora, has a Bali-based company that specializes in building with bamboo and helped design several structures at the school.) The local Balinese schools were all about learning “by rote,” he said; at the other end, the traditional expat-driven international schools were a “monoculture” of privilege. The Hardys enlisted local friends and acquaintances, along with some international recruits, and in 2008, Green School was born. It is not hard to see in John and Cynthia Hardy something of the spirit of Rudolf Steiner — the polymathic, charismatic Austrian whose principles informed the school he created in 1919 for the children of the workers in a German cigarette factory called Waldorf-Astoria. (The name lives on in more than 1,000 Waldorf schools worldwide.) While the Hardys abandoned an early idea to actually start a Steiner school — too much dogma, John told me — the influence remains. Not simply in the Green School’s emphasis on “holistic” (i.e., not strictly academic) development and “experiential” learning, but in highlighting the aesthetics of the classroom. (Steiner once called the schoolroom a “veritably barbaric environment.”) Kate Druhan, a pragmatic, droll Australian and former human resources manager who serves as the school’s board of management chair, told me the school has cherry-picked its curriculum — a dose of Australia here, some International Baccalaureate there, with a dash of Singapore Math for good measure — and stressed what she called “integrated thematics” across subjects; when learning about ancient Egypt, for example, students will explore its history, but they might also use the pyramids to study geometry. But what most distinguishes Green School from other expat-driven international schools found the world over is its strong connection to the local community, and its emphasis on doing. “At most schools,” Medema said, “you learn about making a bridge in a book. At progressive schools, you maybe make it out of matchsticks or carve it out of soap. At Green School, you actually just go and make it.” That the school’s model is still in flux may be in the very nature of progressive education, which, going back to Steiner and other pioneers, has defined itself against not only reigning pedagogy, but, to a certain extent, against current society. (For example, Steiner wanted his schools to be free from rigid class boundaries.) But it is not always clear what that means; as Druhan told me, she prefers the word “progressive” to “alternative,” because “you can go in all kinds of directions.” With technology, for example, Medema said, “a lot of parents will come here thinking, I don’t want my kid near any wires — I thought Green School was zero tech.” Another group, she continued, wants facilities that are top-notch, “but in the jungle.” Ambitiously idealistic experiments often collapse under the weight of their own internal contradictions, and it is certainly possible to find these at Green School: Here are mostly Western, affluent families, many of them temporarily abandoning their comfortable lives for a metaphysical gap year of voluntary simplicity (or life rebalancing or spiritual reawakening) in an exotic stage-setting, at a school whose annual tuition (roughly $15,000 a year for a sixth-grader), while a bargain compared to New York City private-school standards, is far beyond the reach of the average Balinese. (Hardy’s original vision of having at least 20 percent of the school comprised of Balinese scholarship students was, Druhan noted, easier to scale when the school had 90 students. Today, about 9 percent of the student body are on scholarships.) Still, as much as any parent who’s unsure whether his child is getting the best education (in other words, all parents), I surveyed with envy the kids merrily clambering down jungle paths, the river gurgling in the background and the colorful shrines bedecking the hillsides, thinking grimly of my daughter encased in her sealed-window institutional public school building, shunted to the school gym to watch movies on days with a little bit of bad weather. Faced with a problem involving the school’s hydropower system, the students were working with master’s students at the University of Cologne in Germany to design and build a new system that will combine solar and hydro power. On sunny days, surplus solar power will pump river water up to a holding tank. On cloudy days, that water will be released downhill, powering a turbine. Green School’s students scuba dive with CoralWatch and spend summers as oil-rig hounding “kayaktivists” and attend U.N. climate conferences; they start fashion companies like Nalu (which dedicates a portion of sales to help children buy school uniforms in India and Indonesia) and lobby the Balinese government to reduce the scourge of plastic bags on the island. “They really do want kids to go off and change the world, as clichéd as that sounds,” Blair told me. BUT EVEN AMID this backdrop of plucky inventiveness and rational reuse, this armature of sustainable skills, was there not only an impulse toward betterment but a small whiff of dystopia — a prep school prepping for a world that is increasingly out of whack? Is the old paradigm really over? According to Green School parents I spoke to, it is. A variety of “digital nomads,” early retirees, midcareer rebooters and Steiner evangelists, they spoke of being on a shared mission. Regan Williams, who first enrolled as a boarding student (a rarity here; as Medema told me, “You can go to jail for life in Bali for doing teenage stuff”), inspired the rest of her family to come over from Santa Barbara, Calif. Her father, Rob Williams, wrote me over email, “the families are bonded by the fact you have to be a little nuts to move to the middle of the jungle in Bali. … Everyone is sweaty and has bug bites. … Our kids are challenged, engaged and happy.” Alan Fleischmann, a doctor retired from the Mayo Clinic, told me over beers one night that he and his wife Kara chose Green School for their 6-year-old daughter after an exhaustive global search: “We’re trying to work out how you educate for a life in 20 years’ time — what are the skills she might need, and where do you get them?” This being Bali, other factors entered the decision-making process as well. He and his “witchy” wife, as he lovingly termed her, tuned in to Bali, and received a portent of sorts. “You can argue it’s coincidence, but we had a dramatic indication that Mother Bali wanted us here.” As for his daughter’s education, Fleischmann considers skills like memorization largely useless. “I’ve never studied tropical medicine,” he said, though he is often pressed to consult in Bali. “Fifteen minutes on my phone and I know as much as anyone.” At Green School, he said, he saw examples of “project-based management” — “how do you get through something using critical thinking. All that emphasis is not found in a lot of other places.” Many families, Medema told me, come on the vacation and end up staying for the education. Michael Diamond, a.k.a. Mike D. of the Beastie Boys, who enrolled his two sons (Davis, 15, and Skyler, 13) this year (he and his ex-wife take turns living in Bali), first visited the school at the insistence of Skyler, whose friend had recently enrolled. Diamond was struck by how different it felt from the “traditional boarding school model — you go here because your grandfather went here and then you’re going to go to Yale and then work at this law firm and charge people $500 an hour to argue about nothing.” The sense I had from many Green School parents, echoing the school’s idea of nurturing and developing the whole student, was not only the hope that the school would help make their children better citizens, but would leave them better placed to navigate a world in which values and norms were changing. That the old prep school model might be lacking is not necessarily a progressive thought; the head of Manhattan’s elite Trinity School recently warned in a letter to parents that his institution was in danger of becoming a “credentialing factory,” helping to produce a “cognitive elite that is self-serving, callous and spiritually barren.” When I asked Druhan if she could sum up Green School in one moment, she paused. One of her strongest memories was when her young son was doing the “rice thematic”— rice being of central economic and cultural import in Bali. His class had gone out in the fields to learn how to grow rice. He raved about the farmer. “He said, ‘Mum, he’s like a scientist! He has so much knowledge, and he doesn’t have even any instruments.”’ The students went on not only to harvest the rice, but cook an elaborate dinner in an underground fire pit, which they served to the farmers, parents and teachers. “That was everything that’s good about Green School in one moment: The hands-on learning, the respect for school values, the connection to the community.” As a tear brimmed, she changed tack. “Then there are other moments,” she said, with a wry smile. “I sat down with my coffee the other day and there were six parents talking about what the best coffee enema was — exactly how it works and the condition of how it came out. I thought, ‘Well, that’s only at Green School.’ ” | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Father Callahan
Father Donald Frank Callahan is a fictional character created by Stephen King. He originally appeared in the 1975 novel 'Salem's Lot and later The Dark Tower, appearing in The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla, The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah and finally The Dark Tower. He is at first an alcoholic with a troubled faith, but he seems to find his peace in The Dark Tower novels, and his faith is restored.
'Salem's Lot
Father Callahan is the local Roman Catholic priest of the small Maine town of Jerusalem's Lot. An alcoholic, Callahan presides over the funeral of Danny Glick, a young boy who was, unbeknownst to the townsfolk, killed by the vampire Kurt Barlow. Life appears to go on as normal, but more and more of the populace are turned into vampires by Barlow and the new vampires he creates. Local writer Ben Mears, schoolteacher Matt Burke and a young boy named Mark Petrie discover what is happening. Joined by doctor Jimmy Cody and Susan Norton, they convince Callahan of the vampire presence and enlist him to help.
Callahan leads a daytime assault on the old house that is Barlow's hiding place, only to find that the vampire has vacated the premises in anticipation of their attack. However, the group uses the opportunity to destroy the vampiric Susan, whom Barlow had turned during an unsuccessful attempt by her and Mark Petrie's to invade the house and destroy Barlow, and purify the house against future vampire occupation.
That night, Callahan encounters Barlow himself when the latter invades the Petrie family's home and kills Mark's parents in retaliation for Mark killing Barlow's trusted human familiar. Barlow then seizes Mark and challenges Callahan to drop the cross he is using to hold him at bay and face him “faith to faith”. Callahan initially refuses, not trusting Barlow to release Mark, but Barlow ups the ante by releasing the boy, who flees. Now confronted with the choice, Callahan's faith fails, with the cross consequently becoming useless against Barlow. Barlow then seizes him, cuts open a vein in his own throat and forces the priest to drink his blood, damning him. Defeated, Callahan returns to his church, but burns his hand on the door and is refused entrance. Callahan leaves the town on a bus, bemoaning how "unclean" he has become.
Wolves of the Calla
After fleeing 'Salem's Lot, Callahan arrives in New York City, and becomes a vagrant. Now able to sense vampires, he realizes that they live and hunt all around him. His alcoholism gets worse but after he starts working at a homeless shelter, he begins to recover. He befriends several people, such as Rowan Magruder and Lupe Delgado. Callahan develops a deep fondness for Lupe, and later admits to having fallen in love with him. He wonders if this means he is gay, but despite a brief kiss on the cheek, nothing physical occurs between them.
Callahan learns that there are three types of vampires. The Type Ones are the most powerful and are almost immortal. They can spread vampirism to others and create Type Two vampires. Kurt Barlow was a Type One. Type Twos are more common and can create other Type Twos or Type Threes. Lastly, the Type Threes cannot spread vampirism but can spread diseases that travel by blood, such as HIV. Callahan refers to them as "mosquitoes". After Lupe is infected by a Type Three vampire and dies from AIDS, Callahan begins to kill vampires (mostly Type Threes). This attracts the attention of the Crimson King and his soldiers, the Low Men or "can-toi". The Hitler Brothers, two hoodlums who murder Jews, black people and homosexuals and carve swastikas on their victim's foreheads, are hired to find Callahan. They torture Rowan Magruder, who later dies of his wounds, in hopes of finding him.
They later find and attack Callahan, and carve a cross on his forehead, intending it to become a swastika. But before they can finish the swastika, Callahan is rescued by Calvin Tower and Aaron Deepneau, two men who figure prominently later in Roland's quest. The Hitler Brothers flee, and are later killed by the Low Men. Callahan is later lured into a building by Richard Sayre, a Low Man, and several vampires. Rather than be infected, he jumps out a window committing suicide.
After his death, he wakes up in the Way Station, where he encounters Walter o'Dim who gives him Black Thirteen, one of the "Bends" in the Wizard's Rainbow. Walter apparently does so in the hopes that it will kill Roland Deschain later in his journey. It transports him to the Doorway Cave outside Calla Bryn Sturgis, where he leads a new life and over the next five years attempts to teach the locals his religion.
Roughly every 23 years, the Callas are raided by wolves, which turn out to be robotic soldiers serving the Crimson King. These Wolves steal half of the Calla's children, who return a few months later "roont". "Roont" (ruined) children are sterile, mentally handicapped, grow to be larger and stronger than other children, and die painfully at a younger age. When Roland and his ka-tet arrive, Callahan seeks their help to defeat the Wolves. During their stay, he shares with them his story since the events of ' Salem's Lot. The Wolves are defeated with the help of the ka-tet, but Susannah becomes possessed by the demon succubus known as Mia and escapes via the Doorway Cave. There, Callahan discovers a copy of the novel ' Salem's Lot, in which he is a major character, causing him to question his reality.
Song of Susannah
Immediately after the events of the previous book, the ka-tet regroups in Callahan's house, where they lay down their plans of action; Roland and Eddie would follow Susannah to New York while Jake and Callahan would be sent to Maine, in order to visit Calvin Tower (the man who saved Callahan from the Hitler Brothers) as well as Stephen King, in order to ensure that the remaining books are written. While there, Callahan planned on questioning King about his existence, but something goes wrong when the door is opened. The group is uncontrollably sucked through and separated, with Roland and Eddie ending up in Maine and Jake, Callahan, and Oy landing in New York City in the year 1999.
The trio lands violently in the middle of a busy street, and Oy is very nearly run down by a speeding cab. Preventing a potentially deadly response from an angry Jake, Callahan beats down the aggressive driver and bribes him (before Jake had the opportunity to shoot him), and they remove themselves from the scene.
Thanks to Jake's psychic connection with Susannah, they find the hotel where Susannah/Mia left Black Thirteen. They attempt to remove it safely, but it awakens and forces them both to their knees, urging them to murder each other. They nearly succumb to the suicidal whisperings, but Callahan uses his restored faith to silence the orb, putting it back into its slumber and saving their lives.
In search of a safe storage place, he and Jake move Black Thirteen to a long-term storage locker underneath the World Trade Center, with the hope that either it will stay dormant or Roland will at some point come to destroy it (rather aptly, they comment on how a building falling on it might destroy it, foreshadowing that the future terrorist attack will be the end of the crystal ball).
They go to the Dixie Pig, the restaurant stronghold of the Low Men and vampires where Susannah is being held, where they prepare to ambush the unknown forces within.
The Dark Tower
Jake and Callahan burst into the Dixie Pig, where they are greeted by a preponderance of Low Men and lesser vampires, as well as a gathering of "Type One" vampires (of which there are only a small number in existence).
Seeing the overwhelming odds against them, Callahan sends Jake on ahead to rescue Susannah while he draws their attention. After dispatching several Low Men and Type Ones, he is goaded to toss away both his cross and the sigil of the turtle (the magical ornament that incapacitates the Low Men). At this point, Callahan realizes what he did not understand while facing Barlow in 'Salem's Lot: the power of his faith transcends such objects.
Eventually, once Jake has reached relative safety, Callahan is overwhelmed and swarmed by the vampires. Before the beasts can assault him, he once again escapes their clutches by shooting himself under the chin. Before taking his own life, he converses briefly with Roland, who bears witness to the scene across time and space. His final words to Roland and in life were a benediction to the Gunslinger: "May you find your Tower, Roland, and breach it,...and may you climb to the top!"
Jake in particular was disturbed by his death, and the ka-tet mourned the loss of their friend and compatriot. When Roland finally made it to the Dark Tower, Callahan's is one of the names shouted by Roland as he walks through the field of roses, showing Roland's respect and love for the redeemed priest.
Deleted scene
The original draft of 'Salem's Lot originally depicted a different fate for Callahan. Rather than forced to drink Barlow's blood and leaving town damned, he marks the vampire with a knife before committing suicide. Furious, the vampire desecrates the priest's body, decapitating it and hanging it upside down. This scene was changed by King before he originally published the story, though it was included in a section of deleted scenes featured in the deluxe limited edition released by Centipede Press in 2005 and the later trade edition.
1979 miniseries
In the 1979 miniseries adaptation of 'Salem's Lot, Father Callahan is featured only as a minor character. He is played by James Gallery. Callahan is first briefly seen officiating at the funeral of Danny Glick. Later, Ben Mears and Susan Norton have a brief interview with him where they try to convince him to join them against the evil in the town. Callahan is skeptical and makes a brief comment on how the Church's view of evil has changed. Soon afterwards, Callahan is at the Petrie house to talk to Mark and his parents about Mark's nocturnal experiences. Abruptly, with a surge of electricity and a tremor, the vampire Barlow enters, kills the Petrie parents, seizes Mark and challenges Callahan. The exchange, although shortened, is much the same as in the original novel, only with Straker, now also present, interpreting for the monstrous and inarticulate Barlow. Barlow lets Mark go in order to confront Callahan, who falteringly hold on to his crucifix while facing the vampire. Barlow plucks the Crucifix from the priest's hand, and Callahan is not seen again, presumably killed.
1995 radio drama
In the BBC radio-dramatization of the 'Salem's Lot novel, Callahan was voiced and played by Nigel Anthony.
2004 miniseries
In the 2004 Salem's Lot miniseries, Father Callahan was portrayed by James Cromwell. The beginning of the film shows an event taking place after most of the story; Ben Mears enters a homeless shelter in a big city and sees Callahan giving out food. Mears confronts Callahan and chases him up some stairs where they struggle. Callahan shoots Mears, but Mears pushes himself and Callahan out a window and the two of them land on a police car. The rest of the film is told in flashback as Ben explains to a hospital orderly why he attacked Callahan.
Callahan is generally portrayed as in the novel, but after Barlow forces him to drink his blood, Callahan does not leave town in shame. Instead, he takes Straker's place as Barlow's attendant. Callahan later visits Matt Burke in the hospital and murders him. After Ben Mears destroys Barlow, Callahan then leads the remaining vampires of Salem's Lot as his new unholy congregation while the town burns around them.
As Ben Mears tells his story to the orderly, Callahan is suffocated with a pillow by Mark Petrie in the hospital.
The framing story of Callahan now living in a big city, working in a homeless shelter and his being pushed out of an upper storey window are clearly inspired by the events in the Dark Tower: Wolves of the Calla novel, though the miniseries does not use any of the further material featuring Callahan from the other Dark Tower books, which feature his return and redemption. | WIKI |

Asthma Help To Keep You Breathing Easy
Are you someone who suffers from asthma and found yourself wishing you knew more? Asthma is a fairly common lung disorder that causes inflammation of airways, coughing and wheezing. Many people want to know more about asthma but just do not know where to find this information. The information in this article may tell you something about asthma that you have never known.
If you suffer from asthma, don’t smoke or expose yourself to smoke, fumes or vapors. This includes all tobacco products, and you also need to be careful if you are going to apply for a job in a factory or where you have the potential to be exposed to vapors and harmful smoke.
Smoking is extremely harmful if you suffer from asthma. If you are not already a smoker, don’t start, and if you are, quit as soon as possible. Smoking is unhealthy for anyone, regardless of their health; however, when you have asthma, smoking restricts the oxygen your lungs needs to breathe and function properly. If your lung function is affected, you run the risk of having more frequent attacks.
It is imperative that you do your best to avoid cleaning chemicals if you are asthmatic. It is very possible that one might bring on an asthma attack with some chemicals used for cleaning. If you’re the one that cleans your home, try organic or natural cleaning solutions that are much less risky to your health.
Avoid being around any known asthma triggers. Some people have allergies that cause asthma, and allergens such as dust and pollen can cause an attack. Others may need to avoid certain physical activities to keep from suffering an attack. Determine what your trigger is so you can easily avoid an attack.
Some medications can exacerbate asthma symptoms as a side effect. Aspirin and other NSAIDs are known to be asthma triggers. Some medications for blood pressure and heart disease – those referred to as beta blockers – can also exacerbate asthma problems. If you suffer from these conditions and also have asthma, be sure to let your doctor know.
If you are experiencing a moderately severe attack, try to first exhale completely. Breathe out aggressively, as hard as you can. Force all the air out of the lungs! Do your inhalations in triple bursts of short breaths, and then follow with final deep inhalation so that you fill your lungs comfortably, before exhaling with vehemence once more. Pay attention to what you are doing and follow a regular rhythm. It also expels air from your lungs so more can enter. Do not be alarmed if you cough or generate excess mucous; this is perfectly normal. Your only concern is to return your breathing to normal.
It is only natural for someone with asthma to feel a need to know everything about the condition and how it effects them personally. Hopefully this article has provided you with some very useful advice that both explains, and advises on the intricacies of asthma. Use the advice from this article in your own life, and you just might find living with asthma is not as bad as it seems! | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

100 recollection. I don't think that even in the French Revolution they had anything like the numbers we are getting by voluntary offers of service.
In the Boer War, during the first three months I think the increase in the number of recruits was 10,000 or 15,000, and during the whole of the war, from the beginning to the end, the increase in the number of recruits amounted to 20,000 or 30,000 a year to the Regular Army. You have never had anything like this, and, therefore, the ordinary machinery for the moment must be a little choked and paralysed. The recruiting sergeant is in the habit of getting his men with difficulty. He takes one man here and one man at a great distance away, and gradually he gets his 30,000 or 40,000 a year, I think. Mr. Llewelyn Williams, M.P.: "Thirty-five thousand."] I was very near it. [Laughter.] He gets his 35,000 a year. It is just like a man who quenches his thirst at a tap which trickles gently. But suddenly there is a great pressure—[laughter] — and the water fills his nostrils, his eyes, his ears, all over him. He is blinded, he is bewildered, he is smothered, and really the recruiting agency, accustomed to deal with a nice, gentle little trickle, finds itself suddenly overwhelmed with a deluge. I hope the recruits and committees will remember that. That is really why we are calling upon civil action to help and assist the committee and the War Department. [Cheers.]
They are just overwhelmed with the material which is placed at their disposal. And, after all, the best recruiting in the world has been done by civilians. [Applause.] I hope no soldier here will be offended. The great recruiting for the French revolutionary armies was done by a lawyer. [Laughter.] And it was such a successful experiment—[laughter]—that President Lincoln set another lawyer to recruit for the Civil War in America. There is some use for lawyers, after all, in a national emergency. [Laughter.] We are, therefore, calling these agencies into account in order to assist. But those agencies must represent the nation as a whole. We are one and indivisible for the purposes of this war. [Loud applause.] What better proof could you have of it than this platform? [Applause.] I have addressed many meetings in this hall. I doubt very much whether at those meetings I have had the privilege of addressing some of those whom I have the honour to address at the present moment. ["Hear, hear," and laughter.] It is the best possible proof that we are prepared to sink all | WIKI |
Trypsinization
Trypsinization is the process of cell dissociation using trypsin, a proteolytic enzyme which breaks down proteins, to dissociate adherent cells from the vessel in which they are being cultured. When added to cell culture, trypsin breaks down the proteins that enable the cells to adhere to the vessel. Trypsinization is often used to pass cells to a new vessel. When the trypsinization process is complete the cells will be in suspension and appear rounded.
For experimental purposes, cells are often cultivated in containers that take the form of plastic flasks or plates. In such flasks, cells are provided with a growth medium comprising the essential nutrients required for proliferation, and the cells adhere to the container and each other as they grow.
This process of cell culture or tissue culture requires a method to dissociate the cells from the container and each other. Trypsin, an enzyme commonly found in the digestive tract, can be used to "digest" the proteins that facilitate adhesion to the container and between cells.
Once cells have detached from their container it is necessary to deactivate the trypsin, unless the trypsin is synthetic, as cell surface proteins will also be cleaved over time and this will affect cell functioning. Serum can be used to inactivate trypsin, as it contains protease inhibitors. Because of the presence of these inhibitors, the serum must be removed before treatment of a growth vessel with trypsin and must not be added again to the growth vessel until cells have detached from their growth surface - this detachment can be confirmed by visual observation using a microscope.
Trypsinization is often used to permit passage of adherent cells to a new container, observation for experimentation, or reduction of the degree of confluency in a culture flask through the removal of a percentage of the cells. | WIKI |

// TrackedRefs are effectively a ref-counting scheme for objects that have a
// single owner.
//
// Deletion is still controlled by the single owner but ~T() itself will block
// until all the TrackedRefs handed by its TrackedRefFactory have been released
// (by ~TrackedRef<T>()).
//
// Just like WeakPtrFactory: TrackedRefFactory<T> should be the last member of T
// to ensure ~TrackedRefFactory<T>() runs first in ~T().
//
// The owner of a T should hence be certain that the last TrackedRefs to T are
// already gone or on their way out before destroying it or ~T() will hang
// (indicating a bug in the tear down logic -- proper refcounting on the other
// hand would result in a leak).
//
// TrackedRefFactory only makes sense to use on types that are always leaked in
// production but need to be torn down in tests (blocking destruction is
// impractical in production -- ref. ScopedAllowBaseSyncPrimitivesForTesting
// below).
//
// Why would we ever need such a thing? In task_scheduler there is a clear
// ownership hierarchy with mostly single owners and little refcounting. In
// production nothing is ever torn down so this isn't a problem. In tests
// however we must JoinForTesting(). At that point, all the raw back T* refs
// used by the worker threads are problematic because they can result in use-
// after-frees if a worker outlives the deletion of its corresponding
// TaskScheduler/TaskTracker/SchedulerWorkerPool/etc.
//
// JoinForTesting() isn't so hard when all workers are managed. But with cleanup
// semantics (reclaiming a worker who's been idle for too long) it becomes
// tricky because workers can go unaccounted for before they exit their main
// (https://crbug.com/827615).
//
// For that reason and to clearly document the ownership model, task_scheduler
// uses TrackedRefs.
//
// On top of being a clearer ownership model than proper refcounting, a hang in
// tear down in a test with out-of-order tear down logic is much preferred to
// letting its worker thread and associated constructs outlive the test
// (potentially resulting in flakes in unrelated tests running later in the same
// process).
//
// Note: While there's nothing task_scheduler specific about TrackedRefs it
// requires an ownership model where all the TrackedRefs are released on other
// threads in sync with ~T(). This isn't a typical use case beyond shutting down
// TaskScheduler in tests and as such this is kept internal here for now.
