‘The Healing Self’: Deepak Chopra & Rudy Tanzi Explain Why Lifestyle Changes Are Critical to the Future of Our Health
“Reprinted from The Healing Self. Copyright © 2018 by Deepak Chopra and Rudolph E. Tanzi. Published by Harmony Books, an imprintof the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House LLC.”
BY DEEPAK CHOPRA, M.D., AND DR. RUDOLPH E. TANZI, Ph.D.
At the end of July 2017, a startling medical story came across television and the Internet. It was a tip-of-the-iceberg story, although few people realized it at the time. There was too much background noise from the usual stream of health risks people were supposed to heed. Among the latest risks: Working more than 55 hours a week can be bad for your health. Pregnant women are at higher risk of not getting enough iodine.
These were not tip-of-the-iceberg stories—more like the drone of familiar advice that most people have learned to shrug off. But one item was different. Twenty-four experts on old-age dementia—the greatest health threat around the world—were asked to assess the overall chances for preventing every kind of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. Their conclusion, published in the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet: One-third of dementia cases can be prevented. There is currently no drug treatment to cure or prevent dementia, so this was startling news on the face of it.
What was the key to preventing dementia? Lifestyle changes, with a different focus at every stage of life. The experts singled out nine specific factors that accounted for around 35 percent of dementia cases: “To reduce the risk, factors that make a difference include getting an education (staying in school until over the age of fifteen); reducing high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes; avoiding or treating hearing loss in mid-life; not smoking; getting physical exercise; and reducing depression and social isolation later in life.”
One item from the list was startling: staying in school until at least the age of fifteen. What in the world? A dreaded condition of old age could be reduced by doing something when you are a teenager? For that matter, it was also a little peculiar that addressing hearing loss in middle age was related to a lower risk of dementia. Something new was going on. If you looked close enough, this news story was signaling a trend in medicine that promises to be a major revolution.
Not just in dementia, but across the board researchers are drastically pushing back the timeline of disease and life-threatening disorders like hypertension, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even mental disorders like depression and schizophrenia. When you catch a winter cold, you notice the symptoms and realize, with annoyance, that you were exposed to the cold virus a few days earlier. The incubation period was short and invisible; only the appearance of symptoms told the tale. But lifestyle disorders aren’t like that. Their incubation period is invisible but very long—years and decades. This simple fact has become more and more critical in medical thinking. Now it looms larger perhaps than any other factor in who gets sick and who stays well.
Instead of focusing on lifestyle disorders when symptoms appear, or advising prevention when high risk has developed, doctors are probing into normal, healthy life twenty to thirty years earlier. A new vision of disease has been emerging, telling us some very good news. If you practice lifelong wellness, beginning as early as childhood, the many threats that attack us from middle age onward can be defeated—the secret is to act before any sign of threat appears.
This is known as “incremental medicine”—the iceberg of which a single story about dementia is the tip. Take the seemingly strange finding about education. Experts estimate that dementia could be reduced by 8 percent globally if kids stayed in school until they were fifteen, one of the biggest single reductions on the list. The reason why traces a long trail. The more educated you are, the more information your brain stores and the better it accesses what you’ve learned. This buildup of information, starting in childhood, leads to something neuroscientists have identified as “cognitive reserve,” a boost to the brain in terms of added connections and pathways between neurons. When you have this boost, the memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia is countered, because the brain has extra paths to follow if some grow weak or diseased. (We discuss this in more detail in our section on Alzheimer’s at the end of our book.)
As medical logic goes, long trails are changing everyone’s thinking, because they exist in many if not most diseases. Suddenly it’s not about isolated factors like not smoking, losing weight, going to the gym, and worrying about stress. It’s about a continuous style of living where self-care matters every day in every way. Not smoking, losing weight, and going to the gym still have their benefits. But lifelong wellness isn’t the same as lowering your risks for disorder A or B. Only a holistic approach will ultimately work. Wellness is no longer just a valid alternative to regular prevention. It’s the iceberg, the four-hundred-pound gorilla, and the elephant in the room rolled into one. Wellness is the great hope springing up all around us. When the public gains full knowledge of this fact, prevention will never be the same. But to grasp how radically things will change, we have to back away and examine the current situation in health care, where threat increasingly overwhelms hope.

Do you know 10 percent of the total world’s population has the problem of cognitive disabilities?
It’s not easy for people with cognitive disabilities to live in this highly advanced world, as they still needed assistance from others with aspects of daily living. Here, mobile applications play an important role in guiding them and make their brain more productive.
With over 3, 00,000 mobile apps flooded in app store, it easy to choose appropriate application that helps the most. Moreover, spending a small amount towards application is worth as it is helpful for people with cognitive disabilities. Such types of applications are available for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Android devices.
We have seen some of the applications have proven to be helpful while some applications offend with lacks of features. Applications for cognitive disable people needed to be more advanced and should be helpful with their daily activities.
Here, we are going to list out challenges of mobile app along with recommendations and suggestions of app design patterns that become easy to access by the widest range of people.
Challenges of Mobile Apps for Users with Cognitive Disabilities
Here, we are going to list out challenges of mobile app along with recommendations and suggestions of app design patterns that become easy to access by the widest range of people.
1) Smaller Screen Size
People use their fingers to click links and buttons on the screen and small screen size significantly minimize the accuracy of clicks. Even, sometimes they accidentally touch the wrong element.In practice, links and buttons should be large enough so cognitive person can reliably view and touch with a finger.
small-screen-size
Moreover, having smaller screen doesn’t allow adding descriptive labels or available options and thus, they are hidden and users can’t find it easily.
2) Mobile Apps Loaded with Advertisements
app-advertisement
Mobile app integrated with advertisement can be confusing as it diverts users’ mind from the main content. Smaller screen is the biggest challenges for mobile advertisement and if we are adding advertisement in it, it becomes more challenging for people with Cognitive Disabilities.
3) Flat Design Paradigm is Not Interactive
If you are designing accessible and usable mobile application for cognitive disabilities, you should present some interesting challenges – developing app for Persons with learning disabilities must have trouble processing language and numbers, etc.
flat-design-paradigm
Moreover, don’t create multiple windows, or cluttered displays to create problem in accessing. It creates more disappointment in the users’ mind.
Mobile App Considerations
1) Cogitate Caption for Audio and Video
Some developers find challenge to add online video and audio formats to deliver remarkable experience. But, it is one of the best ways to helps people with disabilities. Even, many of the developers are looking forward to add captions to audio and video features for those people, who are deaf or finding problem in hearing.
2) More Text for Better Understanding
Often, images are a fulcrum of digital design however it can be problematic for users with disabilities. This thing is true for such people,who rely ontext-to-speech technologies, might have problems like low-visions, blindness, etc. or having habit of interacting with technology using voice commands such a quadriplegic person.
Additionally, images have subjective content and not readable by screen readers.
3) Use Assistive Technology to Test Your Apps
People, who have problem of hearing, looking and physical impairments, are depending on technological aid to explore web, read mail and doing other digital tasks. Such technology things include screen magnification, screen readers, high-contrast settings, refreshable Braille displays, etc. Thus, whenever, you are testing your application, ensure to use these tools to make application highly usable.
4) Suitable Row and Column Headers for Tables is Must
An accessible data table is recognized with its row and/or column headers. Talking about markup, the
tag is used for table data cells while
tag for table header cells. Such things enable to manage data properly that connected with the correct headers.
Those people, who are using a screen reader, can understand the data’s meaning, which is indicative of HTML. However, other programming languages have different accessibility that developed into their interfaces.
5) Add Explicit Labeling For All Form Fields & User Inputs
Previously, we have discussed text is appropriate then images as it makes that users’ output such as “submit” or “buy” buttons, address fields, drop-down menus, etc. are accurately translated through screen-reader tools.
The same thing would hold users, who rely on speech-recognition software, to communicate with mobile applications and digital interfaces.
6) Get Comment from People with Disabilities
According to my personal view-point, the best way to check application is by asking people withdisabilities and collects their feedback. It is better to ask for review of them before launching application to the App Store. Moreover, you can also ensure that they are finding all essential information they are looking for.
Mobile App Recommendations
1) Give Importance to Icons
Icons are the best way to convey message as they find difficulty to read text and grab its meaning. You have to ensure
icon-importance
To label icon with text
Create memorable icons that associated with users
Consistent icons like use Star for rating and heart for favorite
2) Easy and Concise Content
Use simple and understandable language to explain anything.
Make Short sentences
Ditch tangential information
Don’t move to the main topic
Use correct grammar and spelling
3) Understandable Labels & Placeholders
Ensure to add visual labels to all needed fields. Many developers think placeholders as labels, but actually it is not.
labels-placeholders
4) Use Enlarged Fonts
Having larger fonts than normal size helps people to access application easily. Developers have an idea that enlarge fonts is dependent upon the ability of platforms, however, it is recommended to userelative units instead of absolute units, i.e. use “%” or “em” instead of “pt” or “cm”.
Benefits of Mobile Apps
Features that focus on simplicity and context deliver advantages to users withcognitive disabilities. Developers should keep some points in their mind, i.e.
App with fewer features means less distraction
Features should be context specific, for e.g. food menus, store locators, etc.
In this way, developers can build mobile application that helps users to minimize trouble in accessing and can direct them to the relevant information.
Our Additional Best Practices
1) Offline Capabilities
Weak signal makes users frustrate as their application becomes unusable. We are building content interactive that doesn’t rely ona wireless signal. It will result into positive user experience as users can access online, offline and on-the-go.
2) Prioritize Speed
We work hard to improve access and make application to run faster. Having slow mobile application results to low traffic and thus, it is important to have app that doesn’t make people wait.
3) Real-time Experience
As we know that modern application needs access to real-time events and thus, we are integrating data distribution technologies when developing an application to assess data to send the most latest information immediately.
4) Security Measures
We ensure to add user authentication and authorization to access sensitive information. Moreover, we are also ensuring that all network traffic between application and server is encrypted.
Let Us Know What You Think!
We combine engineering, design and innovation to provide best mobile app solution for People with Cognitive Disabilities. We implement creative approach, latest technology and trends to make app superior than other providers. What’s more you want? Tell us by contacting our executives. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

East of Sumatra
East of Sumatra is a 1953 American south seas adventure film directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Jeff Chandler, Marilyn Maxwell, Anthony Quinn and Suzan Ball.
Plot
Duke Mullane (Jeff Chandler), manager of a Malayan tin mine, goes to a little-known island to open a new mine in the jungle. Initially, the natives are friendly, especially dancer Minyora ... who is soon to be married to local ruler King Kiang (Anthony Quinn). A series of unfortunate incidents changes Kiang's attitude to hostility, and Duke is stranded with his crew, Minyora, and his old flame Lory (Marilyn Maxwell), who is engaged to his boss.
Cast
* Jeff Chandler as Duke Mullane
* Marilyn Maxwell as Lory Hale
* Anthony Quinn as Kiang
* Suzan Ball as Minyora
* John Sutton as Daniel Catlin
* Jay C. Flippen as Mac
* Scatman Crothers as Baltimore
* Aram Katcher as Atib
* Anthony Eustrel as Clyde
* Eugene Iglesias as Paulo (as Gene Iglesias)
* Peter Graves as Cowboy
* Earl Holliman as Cupid (as Henry Earl Holliman)
* James Craven as Drake
* John Warburton as Gregory Keith
Production
The film was based in part on a treatment by Jack Natteford and Louis L'Amour; the latter, best known for his Westerns, had visited Sumatra while in the merchant marine. In his memoirs, L'Amour called it "my first motion picture":
"The story was of tin mining, and made a bit of sense as written. A big company was rushing in to exploit an island, ruled by a Rajah ... He wanted a hospital, medicines, and doctor for his people. The Company wanted to get in and get the tin and get out with as little trouble as possible. The idea was good, the cast was capable – and instead of a meaningful picture, the producers or somebody turned it into a sex and jungle epic. In any jungle picture with a beautiful native girl, you can be almost be [sic] sure that before long you will find her swimming naked or nearly so in a pool, usually with a waterfall, and there the leading man comes upon her. He is often in the pool himself and it leads to what is expected to be a titillating scene. So it was in this case. The sincere young Rajah is largely forgotten; he doesn't get his medicines and his hopes and the picture go down the train."
Director Budd Boetticher later described the movie as "just a fun film to make all my friends some money". Filming started in November 1952.
Gloria Grahame was offered the female lead but turned it down. She was replaced by Marilyn Maxwell. | WIKI |

If you are trialling the use of a grease or oil in a prototype device then you will appreciate how crucial lubricants can be; extending the functional life of components, improving the tactile feel of customer operated controls…the reasons to include a lubricant are many and well worthwhile.
Before you move from prototype to production, consideration must be given to grease compatibility issues. Does the lubricant come into contact with any rubbers or plastics? It is true that some lubricants (both mineral and synthetic based) can cause plastics and elastomers to swell or crack over time. The swelling, cracking and even discolouration are not instant and can take many hours of exposure to the grease for the damage to occur. Care must be taken by designers to not specify materials that are incompatible in the design of a new product.
What makes the plastics/rubbers swell or crack? It is important to note that is not just the oil (or base oil if using a grease) that can cause problems; generally it is the oil that is the focus of problems but the additives of a grease/oil can also be a issue. Some base oils used to make a grease can be considered ‘plastic safe’ but the additives included in the formula could also cause a problem….so be careful not to just look at the base chemistry of a lubricant, leading to a false sense of confidence.
Plastic and elastomer types are many and varied so there is no quick answer to this issue. There are some general guidelines that you should follow when considering a base oil for use with plastics or elastomers. Perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) and silicones are compatible with most plastics. Synthetic hydrocarbons (includes polyalphaolefin – PAO) can generally be used with plastics but not with elastomers; esters should be used with extreme caution with polycarbonate, polyester, polyphenylene oxide, polystyrene, polysulfone, polyvinyl chloride, Buna S, Butyl, natural rubber and neoprene. Ultimately though, the only way to ensure compatibility is through rigorous testing under high stress, high temperature and poor plastic/elastomer conditions.
The accompanying reference chart below rates the compatibility of synthetic base oils with some common plastics and elastomers (plus a table about solvent and base oil compatibility), servicing as a general guide. Note that the below table is only a general guide and does not account for thickeners and additives that can be included in a grease and as you will read shortly, only a compatibility test can determine if there is a compatibility issue with the materials.
Regardless of the guidance provided on general compatibility charts, we would always recommend that customers undertake a compatibility test for the plastics/rubber and lubricant in question. Compatibility testing is generally carried out at high temperatures, simulating an accelerated life and poor or stressful conditions for the plastic and elastomer/rubber. A relatively simple test, the criteria of the test varies depending on which grease manufacturer you are dealing with. A run through the test:
• All samples to be placed in an oven at high temperature (care should be taken that the temperature chosen itself should not damage the plastic or rubber to be tested).
• All samples to be photographed, weighed and measure before and after testing to check for any changes in dimensions or weight.
• Control and test items to be placed in the oven – the control plastic/rubber is not exposed to the lubricant, the test plastic/rubber is fully immersed in the relevant oil or grease.
• One or two pairs of samples to be tested – control and test for duration one, control and test for duration two (if using a two duration testing procedure).
• Parallel testing conducted for one or two durations is generally recommended, e.g. 24 or 48hrs and 72hrs or 1 week.
It should be noted that there is nearly always a marginal amount of change in weight and dimensions when parts are exposed to the heat and/or lubricants; a small amount of change is considered the norm and is not an indication there is a serious compatibility issue, however only the customer can decide if any change will impact on the performance of the prototype part/device. Some lubricants can cause plastics and rubbers to change colour, this is generally considered an aesthetic issue but can be relevant if the part is able to be seen by customers/users.
If you do not have access to a testing facility, it is possible to carry out your own test. Although not as thorough as the above process, a good indicator of any possible lubricant and plastic compatibility issues could be shown by conducting your own test at ambient/room temperature; simply immerse a piece of the plastic/rubber in the appropriate oil or grease and leave in your office/workspace for an extended period of time. Remember to weigh and measure the parts before and after the test.
Maybe you have have been told that the lubricant you are considering is ‘plastic safe’…. We would always recommend that a device manufacturer carries out a compatibility test, even if advised that a lubricant will have not problems with their plastic or rubber, why? Much of the raw materials for the plastic that is used in production is sourced far and wide; consider a scenario where you are producing a device in large volumes or for many years, the material in your device exhibits no compatibility problems with a grease used inside but three years later there becomes a problem. Arranging for a compatibility report for the grease and plastic used in your device at ‘day one’ ensures that you know something has changed….be that your plastics supplier has started sourcing raw material from a different source without notifying you or your grease supplier has changed the formula of the lubricant without informing you. A reputable lubricant manufacturer would NEVER change the formulation of a lubricant and keep the original product name without telling customers.
So carrying out a compatibility test at day one of a project is a ‘belt and braces’ exercise to protect a you/the customer from problems in the future, in terms of blame and/or liability.
Please get in contact with us for more information on compatibility testing or take a look below at the full Engineering Reference Chart produced by our friends at Nye Lubricants that includes the base oil compatibility chart shown above.
We are creating a series of articles giving a basic introduction to the different base oils that we use, which could be of interest to the reader.

The Different Types of Nutrients Diaries
Take note of your child’s mental health Despair and anxiousness problems are rising in kids and teenagers. One of many widespread side effects of these symptoms is to over eat, which causes more nervousness and depression. Your kid’s over eating could possibly be an indication of a extra critical disorder, and solving that dysfunction will assist remedy the weight problems.
Protein is important for the correct functioning of the body. Protein helps to construct the physique’s framework and assist in constructing and aiding within the physique’s improvement. The tissues of the body are made from protein and the most important organs of the body and the muscle tissue are also fabricated from protein. Protein holds our connective tissues and nerves together and performs an important function in defending our immune systems, producing oxygen carrying purple blood cells and even in digesting meals. Thus, consuming protein is important to maintain the body functioning correctly. There are a variety of meals sources that may provide the protein the physique wants.
Balanced Nutrition For An Energetic Body
Lastly there is the query of enjoyment.
Everyone wants to have a healthy, properly functioning physique and one of the primary keys to reaching optimum health is healthy consuming.

Abstract
Background: Folic acid is widely used to lower homocysteine concentrations and prevent adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the effect of folic acid on cardiovascular events is not clear at the present time. We carried out a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of folic acid supplementation on cardiovascular outcomes. Methodology and Principal Findings: We systematically searched Medline, EmBase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, reference lists of articles, and proceedings of major meetings for relevant literature. We included randomized placebo-controlled trials that reported on the effects of folic acid on cardiovascular events compared to placebo. Of 1594 identified studies, we included 16 trials reporting data on 44841 patients. These studies reported 8238 major cardiovascular events, 2001 strokes, 2917 myocardial infarctions, and 6314 deaths. Folic acid supplementation as compared to placebo had no effect on major cardiovascular events (RR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.93-1.04), stroke (RR, 0.89; 95% CI,0.78-1.01), myocardial infarction (RR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.93-1.07), or deaths from any cause (RR, 1.00;95% CI, 0.96-1.05). Moreover, folic acid as compared to placebo also had no effect on the following secondary outcomes: risk of revascularization (RR, 1.05; 95%CI, 0.95-1.16), acute coronary syndrome (RR, 1.06; 95%CI, 0.97-1.15), cancer (RR, 1.08; 95%CI, 0.98-1.21), vascular death (RR, 0.94; 95%CI,0.88-1.02), or non-vascular death (RR, 1.06; 95%CI, 0.97-1.15). Conclusion/Significance: Folic acid supplementation does not effect on the incidence of major cardiovascular events, stroke, myocardial infarction or all cause mortality.

Do You Know What’s In Your Mouthwash?
Mouthwash can do a lot to keep your mouth clean and healthy. That’s why dentists often recommend that mouthwash be a part of your regular oral hygiene routine (Just remember that mouthwash should not replace regular brushing and flossing). According to our own Dr. Marchbanks, a general dentist in Arlington, Texas, mouthwash freshens breath, helps prevent or control tooth decay, reduces plaque, prevents or reduces gingivitis, and reduces the speed that tartar forms on the teeth. But most people have no idea what is in the mouthwash they use every day. As with any product, you need to make an informed decision on what you use to maintain good oral hygiene.
Most mouthwashes have the same basic ingredients: water, alcohol, cleansing agents, flavoring ingredients, and coloring agents. The ADA explains that the other ingredients will depend on the type of mouthwash, but they can be grouped into four categories:
• “Antimicrobial agents act directly on oral bacteria to help reduce plaque, decrease the severity of gingivitis and control bad breath. “
• “Fluoride helps reduce tiny lesions (tooth decay) on tooth enamel and make teeth more resistant to decay.”
• “Astringent salts can serve as temporary deodorizers that mask bad breath.”
• “Odor neutralizers act by chemically inactivating odor causing compounds.”
Knowing these categories is certainly important, but when you read the list of ingredients in your mouth wash and it contains a long list of scientific sounding names that most of us have probably never heard of. Here’s a list of some of the most common ingredients and a description of what they are:
• Thymol: Thymol sounds like something incredibly artificial and harmful, but it’s actually something called a biocide, a naturally occurring class of compounds that have strong anti-microbial properties. Thymol is a naturally occurring mixture of compounds in the plant thyme. It has a lot of uses, but it’s a common ingredient in both mouthwash and toothpaste because it’s anti-microbial properties help prevent the formation of plaque on the teeth, and it also helps prevent the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity.
• Methyl Salicylate: Methyl salicylate is the scientific name for wintergreen oil. It is a naturally occurring compound produced by a number of different plants, including wintergreens. Methyl salicylate is an antiseptic agent which can reduce infection in the oral cavity.
• Menthol: Menthol is an organic compound made from peppermint or other mint oils, but it can also be made synthetically. Menthol has a number of different uses, but in mouthwash, it provides fresh breath and can help alleviate mouth pain from ulcers or gum disease.
• Benzalkonium Cholride: This is a mixture which functions as an antiseptic agent, which reduces bacteria in the mouth and protects it from infection. In the last few years people have begun to question the safety of this mixture, but reputable scientific studies have largely indicated the only danger comes from allergic reactions.
• Hydrogen Peroxide: The same hydrogen peroxide we keep in our medicine cabinets for cuts and abrasions is also in many mouthwashes and it has exactly the same function (and it is safe to use orally). It kills and reduces bacteria and viruses.
• Methylparaben: Methylparaben is produced naturally and is found in several fruits. In mouthwash it is used as a type of preservative, which also functions as an anti-microbial agent. Many people believe that there is a link between parabens and cancer because breast cancer patients often have high levels of paraben. However, there is no direct or causal link between parabens and cancer. Wikipedia explains this in detail and it provides links to several reputable scientific studies which debunk the myth of parabens and cancer.
• Domiphen Bromide: This compound is another type of chemical antiseptic and anti-microbial agent which reduces bacteria in the mouth.
• Eucalyptol: Eucalyptol is a naturally occurring organic compound used primarily in mouthwashes and couch suppressants. It’s a common ingredient in both mouthwash and cough suppressants because it can help control the hypersecretion of mucous production. Eucalyptol is also frequently used as a flavoring agent.
• Hexetidine is an anti-microbial and anti-fungal agent commonly used in medicine. It also functions to reduce plaque.
• Chlorhexidine: Chlorhexidine is a chemical antiseptic commonly used in mouthwash to reduce plaque and bacteria in the mouth.
All of these ingredients are safe to use orally. However, if you still don’t like the idea of putting some of these ingredients in your mouth, you can make your own mouthwash. This website provides you with instructions and recipes on how to make mouthwash at home.

Case Summary
Buchanan, P.J.
Plaintiff-appellant Mary Lou Pepka (Mary) appeals from a judgment entered against her and in favor of defendant-appellee Ruth P. Branch (Branch), Executrix of the Estate of Paul R. Pepka (Pepka), in an action fded by Mary for the construction of Pepka’s Will alleging that a specific bequest was adeemed.
We affirm.
FACTS
The facts and evidence most favorable to Branch and the judgment are:
In 1945 Pepka established a business in Kokomo, Indiana, known as the Pepka Spring Company (the Company), for the purpose of manufacturing coil springs. It was organized as a proprietorship and was owned, operated and controlled 100% by Pepka.
Pepka served as president, general manager, general engineer, and sales manager and normally employed four office-management employees. He determined salaries and assigned all employees to their respective positions. His sister, Branch, acted as office manager, purchasing agent, and had control of the telephone, tax reports, quality control, and personnel. Mary, his wife, was a part-time office employee relieving Branch of many of her duties. A fourth office employee was John V. Pepka (John), Pepka’s son, who worked for the Company during the summers and holidays.
On August 19, 1966, Pepka executed a Will which included the following four clauses:
“ITEM III
I am carrying certain bank accounts or savings accounts in the name of ‘Paul R. Pepka Reserve Account’ which are actually a part of Pepka Spring Company and they are to become assets of the Pepka Spring Company in case of my death.
“ITEM IV
All of the real estate which I presently own is actually a part of the Pepka Spring Company and is to become a part of the Pepka Spring Company in the event of my death and all property which is carried on my books and records, such as cars and real property, as expenses of the Pepka Spring Company is to become and remain a part of the Pepka Spring Company.
“ITEM V
I will, devise, and bequeath to my son, John Vincent Pepka, sixty-five percent (65%) of the Pepka Spring Company, twenty-five percent (25%) to Mary Lou Pepka, and ten percent (10%) to Ruth Mary Branch.
(Hereafter the Specific Bequest.)
“ITEM VI
I hereby give, will, devise, and bequeath to my beloved wife, Mary Lou Pepka, all the rest and residue of my estate, whether it be real, personal, or mixed, and wherever situated.”
(Hereafter the Residuary Clause.)
(Emphasis supplied.)
On December 28, 1966, about five weeks after executing his Will, Pepka caused the Company to be incorporated under Indiana law and the name of the Company became Pepka Spring Company, Inc. (also referred to herein as the Company). This action was taken on the advice of Pepka’s tax accountant and after consultation with his brother, Burwell Pepka, who had incorporated a similar business owned by him in Washington. Both of these gentlemen testified that Pepka incorporated the Company for tax savings and to insure that his business would continue after his death.
On the advice of the tax accountant, Pepka retained in his own name certain assets of the business which had previously been a part of the Company. These assets included the real estate (which was then leased to the Company), the accounts receivable, the goodwill of the business, and two reserve savings accounts, one in the Union Bank in the amount of Eighty-six Dollars and Sixty-seven Cents ($86.67) and a second in First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Kokomo in the amount of Seven Hundred Thirty-four Dollars and Ninety-two Cents ($734.92). (Also held out were the accounts payable). The tax accountant testified these assets were left out of the corporation so that Pepka would not lose everything if the Company should become insolvent. Further, it was his advice that it would be easier to add assets to the new corporation than it would be to withdraw them.
The assets contributed by Pepka to the corporation included One Hundred Sixty-five Dollars and Forty-eight Cents ($165.48) cash, Five Thousand Two Hundred Twenty-five Dollars and Thirty Cents ($5,225.30) inventory, and depreciable assets amounting to Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-nine Dollars and Forty-two Cents ($16,639.42). They represented the only payment for stock in the new corporation, all of which was owned entirely by him, but never issued. As of November 1, 1968, less than two months prior to Pepka’s death, the assets of the new corporation were Fifty-seven Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Dollars and Eighty Cents ($57,880.80).
Uncontested evidence disclosed that after incorporation the business continued to be operated by Pepka at the same location with little change. Pepka took a salary as President and Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) per month rental for the use of the real estate. Otherwise he continued to make all management decisions and run the business as in the past. Even though officers were nominally elected (the same personnel with the same duties as before), Pepka as President dominated the business as in the past. No change in function of the business occurred and Pepka set all salaries, determined lease rental on the real estate, and loaned himself Forty-five Hundred Dollars ($4,500.00).
Pepka expired December 26, 1968—about two years after incorporating the business and two and one-half years after executing his Will. After opening an estate, Branch, as Executrix, on February 25, 1969 filed an Inventory in Pepka’s estate, which included nine hundred ninety-seven shares of stock owned by Pepka in Pepka Spring Company, Inc. Of the one thousand shares authorized, the other three shares were owned one each by Mary, John, and Branch—for which they made no payment.
A special meeting of the board of directors was then held on March 4, 1969, with John, Mary, Branch, and others present, at which time officers of the corporation were elected, to-wit: John, president; Mary, vice president; and Branch, treasurer and secretary.
On May 22, 1969, Mary, being sole residuary legatee and devisee under the Residuary Clause, filed a Petition for construction of her deceased husband’s Will, alleging that the gift to his son John, Branch, and herself under the terms of the Specific Bequest (Item V) of the Company failed, and therefore passed to her exclusively under the Residuary Clause (Item VI).
At the conclusion of the trial on February 12, 1970, the court ordered the parties to submit Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Later, on December 7, 1970, the court adopted John’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and entered judgment that the Specific Bequest of the Company was not adeemed, Mary fded her Motion to Correct Errors, which was subsequently overruled, and this appeai followed.
For reasons which will more fully hereinafter appear, attention is particularly directed to Conclusions of Law No. 10 and No. 13, which are set out in Footnote one.
ISSUES
ISSUE ONE. Did the incorporation of the business described in the Specific Bequest as the “Pepka Spring Company” so substantially change it as to effect an ademption, thereby causing Pepka’s interest in the corporation to pass to Mary exclusively under the Residuary Clause?
ISSUE TWO. Were John and Branch, by their conduct, estopped to deny the existence of a corporation ?
ISSUE THREE. Did the court commit reversible error by permitting Branch to testify as to Pepka’s explanation of his reasons for incorporating the Company?
ISSUE FOUR. Were the court’s Finding of Fact and Conclusions of Law so erroneous, incomplete, inconsistent, or otherwise defective as to constitute reversible error ?
As to ISSUE ONE, Mary argues that the Specific Bequest bequeaths only Pepka’s interest in the “Pepka Spring Company” and is silent as to “Pepka Spring Company, Inc.” As the business operated by Pepka as a sole proprietor was incorporated and no longer exists, the Specific Bequest of the Company has been adeemed and Pepka’s corporate interest therefore passes to Mary exclusively under the Residuary Clause.
John and Branch maintain the incorporation of the business was merely a change in form and not substance as the new corporation was in almost all respects owned, operated, and controlled by the same person in the same manner as before. Further, the incorporation was carried out for tax purposes only, a mere formality.
As to ISSUE TWO, Mary asserts John and Branch are estopped to deny the existence of the corporation in their interpretation of the Specific Bequest because in anticipation of receiving the corporation’s shares they voted themselves into control of the corporation.
In reply, John and Branch say Mary’s estoppel argument is irrelevant for the reason that they specifically admit and recognize the existence of the corporation and are, in fact, relying upon it.
As to ISSUE THREE, Mary’s position is, as we fathom it, that Branch should not have been permitted to testify as to Pepka’s explanation of his reasons for incorporating the Company, because such testimony was in violation of the rule that declarations of a testator, whether made before, contemporaneously with, or subsequent to the making of the will, cannot be received to affect its construction when the intent of the testator can be discerned from the four corners of the will.
Their reply is that a will should be construed to give effect to the intentions of the testator and Branch’s answer accomplished that purpose.
As to ISSUE FOUR, Mary attacks the trial court’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in three categories :
(1) That the court failed to find certain facts, as submitted by Mary, which were proven by the evidence to exist;
(2) that certain Findings were erroneous and not supported by the evidence; and
(3) that certain Findings were inconsistent with each other and with the Conclusions of Law.
In reply, John and Branch contend:
(1) that the facts Mary claims should have been found were adequately covered by other Findings by the court;
(2) that the evidence does support all of the court’s Findings of Fact; and
(3) that the findings of Fact are not inconsistent with each other and that the Conclusions of Law are adequately supported by the Findings of Fact.
DECISION
ISSUE ONE.
CONCLUSION—It is our opinion that the incorporation of the business described in the Specific Bequest as the “Pepka Spring Company” did not so substantially change it as to effect an ademption, and therefore Pepka’s interest in the corporation passed to John, Mary, and Branch under the Specific Bequest and not to Mary exclusively under the Residuary Clause.
Form versus substance. Before us is a classic confrontation between these two conflicting concepts. To enter the citadel of legal truth one seeking admittance must often reckon with the twin guardians of form and substance. The seeker of justice may not give undue weight to either. While the law has frequently been criticized in the past for its worship at the shrine of form, modern jurists have often exhibited a marked tendency to strike a delicate balance between the two.
And so it is when we examine the principle of “ademption.” Unless otherwise indicated by context, our use of that term in this opinion is limited exclusively to ademption by extinction, as opposed to other types of ademption. Nor are we here concerned with ademption by satisfaction or with revocation by some act of the testator. 6 Page on Wilis § 54.1 (Bowe and Parker ed. 1962). The narrow inquiry prompted, of necessity, must become one of determining at what point the subject matter of the gift has so changed in form between the time of the execution of the will and the testator’s death it is no longer substantially the same thing, i.e., it is extingiushed.
The inquiry was characterized this way by the court in Slater v. Slater (1907), 1 Ch. 665, 672, and quoted by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in In re Gerlach’s Estate (1950), 364 Pa. 207, 72 A.2d 271:
“* * * Where is the thing which is given? If you cannot find it at the testator’s death, it is no use trying to trace it unless you can trace it in this sense, that you find something which has been changed in name and form only, but which is substantially the same thing.”
Slight changes in form do not cause ademption. See: Wiggins v. Cheatham (1920), 143 Tenn. 406, 205 S. W. 1040 [bequest of “whiskey business” not adeemed where Prohibition laws closed the business but all the assets remained in existence] ; In re Mandelle’s Estate (1930), 252 Mich. 375, 233 N. W. 230 [stock split change in form only] ; In re Martin’s Will (1929), 252 N. Y. 582, 170 N. E. 151 [stock split] ; Hankey v. French (1937), 281 Mich. 454, 275 N. W. 206 [name change in partnership only slight change].
At the other end of the form-substance pole are changes so pronounced in form that in a mechanistic sense they constitute extinguishment of the subject matter of the gift. See: Green v. Green (1950), 231 N.C. 707, 58 S.E.2d 722 [devise of mortgage but land later taken back in discharge of the mortgage] ; Welch V. Welch (1927), 147 Miss. 728, 113 So. 197 [testator bequeathed Packard automobile and died owning a Lincoln] ; In re Horn’s Estate (1934), 317 Pa. 49, 175 A. 414 [common stock converted into preferred and common stock after a merger followed by stock split and stock dividend].
The case before us obviously falls somewhere in between the two poles and so we must examine with some particularity the definition of the legal doctrine of ademption by extinction.
Recognizing at the outset that we are not concerned with the complete physical disappearance of the subject matter of the Specific Bequest, we turn to a definition of ademption and the characteristics of the doctrine.
The most common definition of ademption is found at 96 C.J.S. Wills § 1172, p. 985, wherein this authority finds ademption to be an act “* * * by which a specific legacy has become inoperative because of the withdrawal or disappearance of its subject matter from the testator’s estate in his lifetime.”
Ademption is said to apply only to specific legacies and not to general or demonstrative legacies. When ademption of a specific legacy occurs, the subject matter of the specific legacy is so altered or extinguished that the specific legacy is completely voided. Furthermore, the legatee is not entitled to look to the general assets of the estate for satisfaction in lieu of the specific bequest. 6 Page on Wills § 54.5 (Bowe and Parker ed. 1962).
Currently, in this country there are three conflicting approaches to deciding when an ademption by extinction has occurred.
There is the “ancient rule” (Ancient Rule) which originated in the Justinian Code of Rome and became part of the early common law. It is typified by the ancient English case of Partridge v. Partridge (1736), 25 Eng. Rep. 749, which used physical facts as evidence of the testator’s intention to adeem to determine if ademption by extinction had taken place.
The Ancient Rule as it evolved contemplated only an analysis of the testator’s intention and relegated any consideration of the nature, extent, and effect of changes or alterations of the subject matter itself to a lesser role. The intention of the testator to adeem, as gathered from the terms of the will and all the relevant facts and circumstances occurring between the execution of the will and the death of the testator, was the controlling principle.
Obviously, by giving free rein to the intention of the testator it becomes necessary to admit extrinsic evidence of physical facts which tend to establish the testator’s intention, or lack thereof to adeem.
Because of the impracticability of applying this kind of a rule of ademption, Partridge v. Partridge, supra, was swept into a dust-bin of history by Ashburner v. MacGuire (1786), 2 Bro. C. C. 108, 29 Eng. Rep. 62, decided fifty years later, which ruled that where the thing bequeathed does not exist at the time of the testator’s death it is adeemed. The same English judge three years later clarified his holding by stating that the legacy is adeemed no matter what the testator’s subsequent intention (Stanley v. Potter (1789), 2 Cox Ch. 180, 30 Eng. Rep. 83). This case deserved better housing than that accorded Partridge V. Partridge and is the respectable basis of the present-day English and American majority rule that ademption by extinction is based on objective facts and not on the testator’s intention to adeem.
At this point in history, our beloved Indiana is one of the jurisdictions still adhering to the Ancient Rule. As to other j urisdictions adhering to the hoary past, see: In re Packham’s Estate (1965), 232 Cal. App. 2d 847, 43 Cal. Rptr. 318; Our Lady of Lourdes v. Vanator (1967), 91 Idaho 407, 422 P.2d 74; Kapiolani Maternity Hospital v. Wodehouse, 33 Hawaii 846; Domzalski v. Domzalski (1942), 303 Mich. 103, 5 N.W. 2d 672; Donath v. Shaw (1942), 132 N. J. Eq. 545, 29 A. 2d 555; In re Williams’ Estate (1962), 71 N. M. 39, 376 P. 2d 3.
The then Indiana Appellate Court, without specifically considering the alternatives, reaffirmed the Ancient Rule in the case of In re Brown’s Estate (1969), 145 Ind. App. 591, 252 N.E.2d 142, with this statement:
“In construing a will to determine whether there has been an ademption of a specific legacy, the intention of the testator is the controlling factor, the same as in the construction of all wills. Once the intention of the testator has been determined, all other rules of law pertaining to ademption must bend to such intent, so long as his intent does not violate some positive rule of law.
⅛: *
“* * * We must look beyond the change or alteration to the intention of the testator as gathered from the will itself and all the other relevant facts and circumstances occurring between the execution of the will and the death of the testator.”
The court in that opinion, concerned with whether a bequest of an undistributed inheritance in the testator’s deceased brother’s estate was adeemed by being in the form of traceable certificates of deposit, analyzed the doctrine of ademption and represented the Ancient Rule to be that adopted by a majority of the states. Our research indicates otherwise, as will hereinafter appear.
A second rule used to determine whether ademption by extinction has occurred is a modified version (the Modified Rule) of the Ancient Rule. This approach is that the complete physical disappearance of the subject matter of a specific bequest constitutes an ademption independently of the testator’s intention. If, however, the subject matter of the specific bequest still “exists,” but has been altered in form or substance, the testator’s intention must be ascertained as to whether the change has so changed the gift as to cause an ademption by extinction. See: Succession of Levy (1945), 207 La. 1062, 22 So. 2d 650; Blaisdell v. Coe (1927), 83 N. H. 167, 139 A. 758.
The dissatisfaction of the early English judges with the confusion and uncertainty created by applying the testator’s intention rule (Partridge v. Partridge, supra) led to the third approach to ademption by extinction. Sometimes referred to as “the form and substance test,” and what w7e refer to herein as the Modern Rule, eliminates the search for the intention to adeem and confines the task to ascertaining whether the specific subject matter of the bequest is still in existence. If there has only been a formal change in the bequest since the execution of the will, there is no ademption; but if the specific thing has changed in substance, the legacy is adeemed.
This mechanistic form-substance test ignores the intention of the parties and is the majority rule. See, generally: In re Moore’s Estate (1955), 135 Cal. App. 2d 122, 286 P.2d 939; Alexander v. House (1947), 133 Conn. 725, 54 A.2d 510; In re Keeler (1938), 225 Iowa 1349, 282 N.W. 362; Wyckoff v. Perrine (1883), 37 N.J. Eq. 118; Grogan v. Ashe (1911), 156 N.C. 286, 72 S.E. 372; Hoke v. Herman (1853), 21 Pa. 301; Rhodes v. Kebke (1943), 179 Tenn. 480, 167 S.W.2d 345; In re Barrows (1931), 103 Vt. 501, 156 A. 408; Hill v. Hill (1920), 127 Va. 341, 103 S.E. 605; Eddington v. Turner (1944 Del.), 38 A.2d 738; Eisenschenk v. Fowler (1955 Fla.), 82 So.2d 876 Thompson v. Long (1947), 202 Ga. 718, 44 S.E.2d 651; In re Wright’s Will (1960), 7 N.Y. 2d 365, 165 N.E.2d 561; In re Kamba’s Estate (1938), 230 Wis. 246, 282 N.W. 570; Seifert V. Kepner (1962), 227 Md. 517, 177 A.2d 859; Warren v. Shoemaker (1965 Ohio), 207 M.E.2d 419; Walsh v. Gillespie (1959), 338 Mass. 278, 154 N.E.2d 906; Lenzen v. Miller (1941), 309 Ill. App. 617, 33 N.E.2d 765; 6 Page on Wills § 54.15 (Bowe and Parker ed. 1962) ; 6 Powell, Law of Real Property 548; Note, Ademption by Extinction: The Form and Substance Test, 39 Va. L. Rev. 1085 (1953).
An enlightening discussion of the Modern Rule can be found in In re Wright’s Will, supra. The New York Court of Appeals held that:
“* * * Although, in the early days of our law, ademption was based on the intention of the testator, * * * intention has nothing to do with the matter; the bequest fails and the legatee takes nothing if the article specifically bequeathed has been given away, lost or destroyed during the testator’s lifetime. * * * ‘What courts look to now is the fact of change. That ascertained, they do not trouble themselves about the reason for the change.’ * * *
“What is significant, therefore, is the fact that the precise thing given by the will is not available for disposition at the time of the testator’s death, and it masters not whether this came to pass because of an intentional and voluntary act on the part of the testator, such as abandonment, sale or gift, or because of an occurrence involuntary and unintended, such as condemnation, fire or theft.” (Emphasis supplied.)
The foregoing discussion is not meant to imply that the intention of the testator has no relevance whatsoever in applying the doctrine of ademption. Its relevance is limited, however, to an examination of the four corners of the will to determine the identity or exact thing which is the subject matter of the bequest at the time of the execution of the will.
Generally speaking, in Indiana and elsewhere, a will is said to speak as of the date of the testator’s death. Like all broad statements there are limits to its breadth. In order to apply the doctrine of ademption, which of necessity must be done after the testator’s death, the will is construed retroactively to the date of execution. The will becomes operative or effective after it is probated and speaks from that date as an effective instrument, but for purposes of ademption it is construed as of the date of execution to identify the subject matter of the gift. Hankey v. French, supra, recognized this distinction:
“In Re Mandelle’s Estate, 252 Mich. 375, 233 N.W. 230, 231, this court, in discussing specific, general, and demonstrative legacies, and a number of authorities pertaining to the ademption of specific legacies, said:
“ ‘It is not expressive of the whole subject to say that a will speaks as of the date of the death of the maker. It is more accurate to say that a will is not operative until the death of the maker and then speaks the intention of the maker at the time of its execution. It has been held that: “As to specific legacies, the will speaks as of the time of its execution.” ’ ”
See also: Matter of Delaney’s Will (1909), 133 A.D. 409, 117 N.Y. Supp. 838; In re Bradley’s Estate (1922), 119 Misc. 2, 194 N.Y. Supp. 888; In re Brown’s Estate, supra.
Consequently, a will speaks from the date of its execution in order to ascertain the intention of the testator with respect to the identity of the gift he intended to bequeath. Beyond that point, an inquiry into the intention of the testator is not proper.
So the task of determining whether there has been an ademption is a two-step process.
The first step consists of establishing the identity of the specific bequest which the testator purports to make under the terms of the will.
The second step is the application of the Modern Rule or the form and substance test.
Once these two steps have been completed, the ademption inquiry ends. Extrinsic evidence is not admissible and any question of the testator’s intention becomes irrelevant. Lang v. Vaughn (1912), 137 Ga. 671, 74 S.E. 270; Ford v. Ford (1851), 23 N.H. 212.
Notwithstanding Indiana’s adoption of the Ancient Rule in Brown, supra, it is our opinion that the Modern Rule is more logical, less cumbersome, and easier to apply.
Three reasons lead us to this conclusion.
First, the scope of the inquiry commanded by the Ancient Rule is broad and without apparent limitations. It is an unbridled horse. Under the Ancient Rule in the guise of will construction, the evidentiary inquiry may gallop off in any direction to determine the testator’s intention. It was this vagueness and confusion in applying the intention rule that caused the English courts to discard the Ancient Rule after some fifty years of experimentation. Ashburner v. MacGuire, supra; Stanley v. Potter, supra.
Secondly, application of the Ancient Rule could work to the detriment of the general legatees and partially or totally deplete the general assets of a decedent’s estate. If the subject matter of a specific bequest has been completely destroyed and is no longer in existence, use of the Ancient Rule could result in a construction that the testator did not intend for the specific bequest to be adeemed. Based on such a construction the specific legatee, instead of losing his gift, would be entitled to a comparable gift from the general assets of the estate. Ergo, by reference to the testator’s intention the courts change a specific legacy into a general legacy even though the subject matter of the gift is agreed not to exist in any form.
The final, and most important, reason to reject the Ancient Rule is that its utilization effectively emasculates the parol evidence rule and wills statutes which insist on certain formalities in the writing and execution of wills to prevent fraud and perjury. The apparent unlimited scope of the Ancient Rule in seeking the testator’s intent relative to ademption permits admission of extrinsic evidence contrary to well accepted rules proscribing the admission of such extrinsic and oral evidence in the absence of a latent ambiguity in the terms of the will when executed. See: Hauck v. Second National Bank of Richmond, Indiana (1972), 153 Ind. App. 245, 286 N.E.2d 852. Merely because there has been a change or alteration in the subject matter of a specific bequest does not mean that there is a latent ambiguity in the terms of the will at the time it was executed by the testator. Only when such latent ambiguity exists should parol and extrinsic evidence be admitted. The parol and extrinsic evidence rule should not be destroyed in the name of ademption.
Furthermore, the broad sweep of application of the Ancient Rule, carried to its logical conclusion, comes close to destroying the need for written wills. In construing a simple written will to determine whether there has been ademption of a specific legacy, the admission of the testator’s oral declarations and other extrinsic evidence which bear upon his intention embraces so much evidence that the will itself may be lost in the shuffle.
The Modified Rule is equally destructive and suffers from much the same defects as the Ancient Rule.
By definition ademption concerns itself only with the nature and extent of the alteration or extinction of the subject matter of a specific bequest. The testator’s subsequent state of mind as to whether he later intended to effect an ademption is irrelevant to the existence or non-existence of the gift at the time of his death. To point the inquiry in any other direction than the existence or non-existence of the gift at the time of the testator’s death is contrary to reason and experience.
As 6 Page on Wills, § 54.6, at p. 250, reminds us:
“The real question is whether the specific property is in existence at the death of the testator, and whether testator then owns the interest which may pass under his will.”
In support of the Ancient Rule, Brown states “that the consensus of the modern decisions” * * * “support the above statements [in construing a will to determine ademption of a specific legacy, intention of the testator is the controlling factor, etc.] in all respects.”
It then cites twenty-six cases as being the consensus of the modern decisions which support the intention rule. Our analysis of these twenty-six cases, cited at page 606 of 145 Ind. App., is that only twelve apply the Ancient Rule and ten in fact expressly or impledly apply the Modern Rule. The other four we find not applicable. In re Gerlach’s Estate, supra, cited in support of the “consensus of the modern decisions,” is one of the ten citations which apply the Modern Rule and is hereinafter discussed.
A careful reading of the Brown case indicates a confusion of ademption with the general rules construing wills and revocation of wills.
Therefore, to the extent that In re Brown’s Estate and any other Indiana case are inconsistent with the Modern Rule as here applied, they are expressly overruled.
Our research fails to disclose Indiana cases treating the exact question of whether ademption occurs when a testator, after the execution of his will, converts a proprietorship into a corporation. We have discovered five cases from other jurisdictions which support the conclusion that converting a proprietorship or partnership business interest into corporate form is not such a substantial change as to effect ademption by extinction: In re Gerlach’s Estate, supra [Modern Rule applied holding no ademption resulting from change of partnership interest to corporation] ; Latorraca v. Latorraca (1942), 132 N.J. Eq. 40, 26 A.2d 522 [uncertain as to rule applied in holding no ademption resulted from change of proprietorship into corporation] ; Hankey v. French, supra [probably Ancient Rule applied holding no ademption resulted from change of one-third interest in one partnership to one-half interest in another] ; Arenofsky v. Arenofsky (1954), 29 N.J. Super. 209, 102 A.2d 101 [cites In re Gerlach’s Estate, supra, but probably applied Ancient Rule holding no ademption resulted from change of partnership interest into corporation]; Mitchell v. Mitchell (1945), 208 Ark. 478, 187 S.W.2d 163 [Ancient Rule applied holding no ademption resulted from change of corporate interest to proprietorship].
Frequently cited in support of the proposition that subsequent incorporation of a business interest does not amount to an ademption is In re Gerlach’s Estate, supra. Unlike some cases treating this subject which cite cases applying the Modern Rule (including English cases) and then proceed to apply the Ancient Rule, Gerlach carefully propounds and applies the Modern Rule.
In Gerlach, the testator owned a business known as the Allentown Supply Company which he operated as a proprietorship at the time he executed a will containing a specific bequest of his interest in the “business known as the Allentown Supply Company.” Subsequently he incorparted the business under the name of Allentown Supply Corporation—all but a few shares of the unissued stock were owned by the testator and apparently all the assets of the partnership went into the corporation.
In upholding the testator’s specific bequest of his interest in the Allentown Supply Company and determining that there was no ademption of this specific bequest, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania analyzed the change in form this way :
“The bequest of testator’s interest in his business was, of course, a specific one and therefore subject to ademption if the business was extinguished before his death. * * * The change in the subject of the bequest in the present case was obviously not like the one where real estate devised in a will was sold by the testator and what he owned at his death was a purchase money mortgage on the property. In re Gibson’s Estate, 22 Pa.Dist.R. 482 ***.*** What the testator bequeathed in the present case was not an interest in a partnership as such, nor in a corporation as such, but an interest in his business as it existed at the time of his death,—in his business enterprise, whatever its form. Since his interest in the corporation remained the same as his interest in the partnership, and since no change of any kind took place in the operation of the business, no ademption of the legacy resulted.” (Original emphasis.)
As is apparent from the court’s language in Gerlach, what the testator bequeathed was “an interest in his business as it existed at the time of his death,—in his business enterprise, whatever its form.” With these words we agree.
The Pennsylvania court went through the two-step process referred to above of first determining what was intended to be bequeathed by the specific bequest and then determining whether the subject matter of that gift existed at the time of the testator’s death.
We proceed to apply the Modern Rule to the facts of the case before us.
Reading Items III, IV, and V of the Will indicates that Pepka intended to bequeath “certain bank accounts or savings accounts” and real estate on which the Company was operated, to the legatees named in the Specific Bequest because these assets were “actually a part of the Pepka Spring Company.” So Pepka endeavored by these three provisions to make certain that all parts of the business would pass together under the Specific Bequest. This leaves the reader of these three Items with the unmistakable impression that at the time the Will was drawn Pepka unequivocally intended to bequeath the business as a whole.
In reviewing the essential facts we find that Pepka’s Will was executed August 19, 1966. The business, minus certain assets which remained in his name, was incorporated on December 28, 1966. Two years later Pepka died, still operating the business as he had in the past.
After incorporation there was no change in the business, its location, or employees.
Even those assets which remained in his name and were not part of the incorporation remained in his ownership at the time of his death.
The record does not indicate the exact value of the business at the time of the execution of the Will and the value of the business at the time of Pepka’s demise. While he held out the real estate, the accounts receivable (and payable), the goodwill of the business, and two small bank accounts, substantial assets were put into the new corporation (as of November 1, 1968, $57,880.80). More important, those assets not put into the corporation remained in recognizable form at the time of Pepka’s death and were being utilized as a part of the business.
Mary would have us believe that ademption occurred because “the asset change is material.” However, the assets withheld from incorporation were still in Pepka’s name when he died and therefore were part of the business which formed the subject matter of the Specific Bequest. Pepka, therefore, not only intended to convey the business known as the “Pepka Spring Company,” but it existed, substantially intact, at the time of his death.
In the polarity of form and substance, if form is 12:00 o’clock and substance is 1:00 o’clock, the minute hand did not reach quarter after the hour.
By holding that no ademption by extinction (or by change in substance) took place by the incorporation of this particular proprietorship under the terms of this particular Will, we are not “piercing the corporate veil.” Flowing from the incorporation of a business there are numerous changes in the rights, duties, and obligations of the parties participating therein or affected thereby, but the change in form of the business by incorporation, which was the essential thing bequeathed, did not change it substantially, notwithstanding a new entity was created. In the transition, the essential thing was only altered in form. In re Gerlach’s Estate, supra; Latorraca v. Latorraca, supra; Hankey v. French, supra; Arenofsky v. Arenofsky, supra; Mitchell v. Mitchell, supra; 6 Page on Wills § 54.11 (Bowe and Parker ed. 1962) ; 96 C. J. S. Wills § 1177g(l), p. 999.
This conclusion may rationally be reached based on evidence before the trial court and which was part of the Findings without reference to evidence indicative of the intention of the testator subsequent to the date of execution of the Will. Conclusions of Law 10 (no ademption because testator’s intention as determined from facts and circumstances before and after execution of the Will) and 13 (the intention of testator is controlling factor in determining ademption of a specific legacy) and facts set forth in the Findings supporting those Conclusions, are erroneous because they are based on application of what we have referred to here as the Ancient Rule—probably in reliance on In re Brown’s Estate, supra, which we have specifically overruled.
For the reasons indicated, we adopt the Modern Rule as the soundest method of determining ademption by extinction.
ISSUE TWO.
CONCLUSION—It is our opinion that John and Branch, as legatees under the Specific Bequest, are not estopped to deny the existence of the corporation.
Mary’s argument that as John and Branch both participated in the affairs of the corporation after Pepka’s death they are estopped to deny its existence, has no bearing on the central question of whether there was or was not an ademption of the Specific Bequest. It is irrelevant, particularly so in that they explicitly acknowledge the existence of a corporation which they say is the same business in a different form which has not been so changed as to be extinguished.
ISSUE THREE.
CONCLUSION—It is our opinion that the trial court did not commit reversible error by permitting Branch to testify concerning Pepka’s explanation to her of his reasons for incorporating the Company.
This testimony was cumulative of prior testimony. Both Pepka’s tax accountant and brother testified that the reasons for incorporating the Company were for tax savings and to insure the continued operation of the business after Pepka’s death.
In view of our previous conclusion that the scope of the inquiry to determine if ademption has taken place is limited to whether the subject matter of a gift is in existence at the time of the testator’s death, the trial court erred in admitting any evidence relating to the reasons why changes did or did not occur in the subject matter of the gift after the execution of the Will. However, the error caused by the admission of such evidence is not cause for reversal as the judgment correctly held that the Specific Bequest was not adeemed. Mary was not prejudiced. Rule TR. 61.
ISSUE FOUR.
CONCLUSION—It is our opinion that the trial court’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Lav/ were not so erroneous, incomplete, or inconsistent as to constitute reversible error.
In Part 1 of her argument under ISSUE FOUR, Mary contends that the trial court’s Findings of Fact were incomplete because the court failed to find certain “facts” tendered by her, which had support in the evidence. Our examination of Mary’s Proposed Findings of Fact and the court’s Findings of Fact reveals that most of the “facts” tendered by her were adequately treated by the court’s Findings of Fact. Findings of Fact must be considered as a whole and not in isolated or detached portions. Jones v. Greiger (1960), 130 Ind. App. 526, 166 N.E.2d 868; Murrin v. Cook Bros. Dairy, Inc. (1956), 127 Ind. App. 23, 138 N.E.2d 907.
Although a few of Mary’s tendered Findings of Fact were not specifically covered by the court’s Findings of Fact, we are of the opinion that these facts were either so incidental as to not be of significance or simply not within the realm of credible evidence. As stated by Rule TR. 52(A) :
“* * * due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses. * * *”
In a case tried by the court, it, as the trier of fact, may reconcile, reject or accept, and weigh the evidence, and determine the credibility of witnesses. General Electric Co. v. Fuelling (1968), 142 Ind. App. 74, 232 N.E.2d 622; Bennett v. Pearson (1966), 139 Ind. App. 224, 218 N.E.2d 168.
In Parts 2 and 3 of her argument under ISSUE FOUR, Mary complains that certain facts found by the court are not supported by the evidence and that certain Findings of Fact are inconsistent with each other and with the Conclusions of Law. Again we find no substantial cause for complaint and remind Mary that Rule TR. 52(A) states:
“* * * the court on appeal shall not set aside the findings or judgment unless clearly erroneous, * * (Emphasis supplied.)
Thus, a finding upon an issue against a party with the burden of proof will be reversed only if the evidence is un-contradicted and will support no reasonable inference in favor of the finding. A. S. C. Corp. v. First National Bank (1960), 241 Ind. 19, 167 N.E.2d 460.
As indicated in our discussion of ISSUE ONE, Conclusions of Law 10 and 13 incorrectly state the law and there are Findings of Fact based on inadmissible evidence as to Pepka’s intention after execution of his Will, all of which are erroneous. However, there are other Findings of Fact which properly support the judgment that the Specific Bequest was not adeemed. Because it would serve no useful purpose to reverse the trial court’s judgment, it is affirmed.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Whereupon, the Court concludes as a matter of law:
1.
Paul R. Pepka did business as a sole proprietorship under the name of Pepka Spring Company prior to incorporation of Pepka Spring Company, Inc.
2.
After Pepka Spring Company, Inc., was incorporated on December 28, 1966, the Corporation began business on January 1, 1967, and continued as a corporation continuously to the present time.
3.
That subsequent to incorporation of Pepka Spring Company, Inc., Paul R. Pepka transferred certain assets on paper previously belonging to Paul R. Pepka, d/b/a Pepka Spring Company, to Pepka Spring Company, Inc. totaling approximately Seventeen Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-four Dollars and Forty-eight Cents ($17,484.48).
4.
That no corporate stock of Pepka Spring Company, Inc. was ever issued by the corporation to anyone at any time.
5.
That Paul R. Pepka originally placed his accounts receivable in the amount of Twenty-four Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty-two Dollars and Ninety-four Cents ($24,852.94) into the corporation structure, but later withdrew same on the advice of tax counsel.
6.
That Paul R. Pepka, subsequent to incorporation, without any official and legal corporate action being taken, arbitrarily established the rental sum of Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) per month for the corporation to pay him for the use of the buildings.
7.
That subsequent to incorporation, Pepka Spring Company, Inc. was still controlled and operated by Paul R. Pepka as an individual and no corporate stock was properly executed and issued, no officers were legally elected, no board of directors was legally elected and the business was still controlled by one man, Paul R. Pepka.
8.
The assets shown on the books of the corporation as of the date of decedent’s death, totaled approximately Fifty-seven Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Dollars and Eighty Cents ($57,880.80) but were in fact, controlled by Paul R. Pepka just as they were when he operated as a sole proprietorship.
9.
That the real estate referred to in ITEM IV of Decedent’s, Paul R. Pepka, Last Will and Testament, includes the real estate located at 810 South Waugh Street, Kokomo, Indiana, which said real estate is a part of the Pepka Spring Company assets and passes as such under ITEM V. of decedent’s will, since this is the clear, expressed desire, intention and will of the testator as evidenced by his words and actions.
10.
It is the opinion of the Court that the bequest mentioned in Item V. of the Will has not adeemed because the intention of the testator, as determined from a full and complete consideration of the Will as a whole or entire instrument, and from all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the testator at the time the Will was executed and also occurring after such execution, was that the Pepka Spring Company assets, in whatever form pass as set out in ITEM V.
11.
The Court is of the opinion that the reserve accounts mentioned in ITEM III. of testator’s Will were never officially transferred to Pepka Spring Company, Inc. but were continually controlled by Paul R. Pepka both before and after incorporation and transferred back and forth and used interchangeably at his direction and accordingly, should and do pass as assets of Pepka Spring Company, Inc. under ITEM V. of decedent’s Will since this is the express intent and desire of the testator as set out in ITEM III. of said Will.
12.
The Court is of the opinion that the subject matter of the legacy, i.e., the reserve accounts, the real estate owned by Paul R. Pepka at death, and the other assets of Pepka Spring Company, were not destroyed, alienated or extinguished or so changed in character that they could not be recognized or identified, but merely changed in form (at the advice of an accountant and the brother of decedent), and such assets in their changed form can be traced into the possession of the testator and accordingly shall pass to the legatees listed under ITEM V. of said Will.
13.
The Court is of the opinion that the intention of the testator is the controlling factor in determining the question of ademption of a specific legacy and that the intention of testator, Paul R. Pepka, as evidence by his statements to accountant John Cherry, his brother, Burwell Pepka, and Ruth Branch, near the time of the execution of his Will and the incorporation of Pepka Spring Company, Inc., as well as the acts of testator after the incorporation in the way he continued to operate his business, employ and train his son, John Vincent Pepka, indicate that his intention was to bequeath the major share of his spring company business to his son, John Vincent Pepka.

Cleaning Solar Panels
How To Clean Solar Panels – In-depth Cleaning Tutorial
Solar panels are an excellent investment for those seeking to save money on energy bills while lessening their carbon footprint. It is essential to clean the panels to maintain optimal performance regularly.
Dust, debris, bird droppings and other types of buildup can reduce the sunlight that reaches them and thus decrease efficiency. This article will give you a step-by-step guide on how to clean solar panels and answer some commonly asked questions.
Instructions On How to Clean Solar Panels
Safety First
Before solar panel cleaning, take precautions for safety. If the panels are on top of your roof, use a sturdy ladder and safety harness; wear appropriate clothing and shoes in case of slips or falls; additionally, make sure the panels are excellent before beginning any cleaning tasks.
Choose A Cool Day
Hot glass on your panels and cool water could increase the risk of cracks due to sudden temperature changes. In addition, if the scorching sunlight is currently beating upon the panels, any water you’ve utilized could evaporate quickly and leave a dirty mark that could ruin all effort!
An early, cool morning is an ideal time to clean. Dew accumulated on the panels overnight may have softened dirt and grime, so you’ll require less water and power to wash your solar panel. If you can’t manage an early start or an overcast day, a calm and mild evening is ideal for cleaning your solar panels.
Select the Appropriate Cleaning Equipment
Utilizing proper cleaning tools will help protect panels from scratches and damage. Avoid abrasives like steel wool or rough brushes; opt for soft brushes, sponges, or cloths. Microfiber cloths are especially helpful in removing dirt and grime without leaving streaks behind.
Cleaning Solution
Water alone may not be enough to clean your solar panels, but adding a cleaning solution helps remove tough stains and dirt. Avoid using detergents, bleach, or other harsh chemicals that could damage the panels; instead, create a solution of warm water with gentle soap such as a dish or car wash soap.
Rinse the Panels
Before applying any cleaning solution, rinse the panels with a gentle stream of water. It will help eliminate loose dirt and dust particles, making the job easier. Avoid using high-pressure washers or abrasive tools, which may damage the panels.
Apply the Cleaning Solution
After rinsing the panels, apply the cleaning solution using a soft brush or sponge. Avoid spraying directly onto the panels as this could cause streaks; apply the solution onto your brush/sponge and gently scrub in circular motions on each panel.
Rinse The Panels Again
Once you’ve scrubbed the panels clean, rinse them gently with a gentle stream of water to ensure all soap residue has been removed from them. Doing this helps ensure the panels perform optimally.
Dry the Panels
You can let the panel’s air dry, or wipe them dry with a soft cloth. Be gentle not to scratch or damage the panels with abrasives or rough materials.
Repeat as Necessary
If your solar panels are heavily soiled or haven’t been cleaned in some time, you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times to eliminate all dirt and grime.
Tips for Maintenance of Solar Panels
1. Ensure solar panels are away from the shade, as their energy becomes less efficient when they are prevented from absorbing sunlight.
2. Be vigilant about the solar panels and ensure the inverters flash the green light. If they’re not blinking it, you’re losing money and not being compensated for using electricity.
3. Record the day-to-day performance of the solar panel to aid in maintenance. Keep track of how much energy you produce every day. Also, make a specific note of the dates when the weather is cloudy. Results can vary at times. (Your company’s manufacturer is in a position to offer you the most efficient monitor for the solar panel.)
4. Monitoring systems can help you understand how you’re benefiting the planet as well as how you are releasing carbon dioxide two that you release to the air. As well as letting you know what you could gain from feed-in tariffs, they also tell you how much you could save.
5. You can also find details about your solar panel’s maintenance on the mounted wall if you are at your home.
6. Rather than manually cleaning solar panels, you could install sprinkler systems that function as automated cleaners. You can also make meetings with solar panel maintenance firms.
7. Fortunately, since solar panels do not have moving components that can be affected by rust or breakdown and solar power maintenance might not be required.
How Often Should I Clean My Solar Panels?
The amount of dirt or debris accumulating on your solar panels determines how often you should clean them. In general, it’s recommended to do a deep clean every six months; however, if living in an area prone to dust, pollen, or bird droppings, you may need to do it more often.
If you notice significant drops in performance from your panels, it could indicate the need for solar panel cleaning – so keep this in mind when planning when to do it next!
Is It Safe To Clean Solar Panels At Home?
Yes, it is perfectly safe to clean solar panels at home as long as you take proper precautions. Turn off the power to the panels and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives. You can always hire a professional cleaner if you feel uncomfortable doing it yourself.
Is It Necessary To Clean Solar Panels?
Maintaining the efficiency of solar panels requires cleaning. Dirt, debris, and bird droppings can reduce sunlight reaching the boards, reducing their output. Regular maintenance helps avoid buildup and keeps your panels operating optimally.
When Should I Contact Professionals About Cleaning My Solar Panels?
If you observe any damage or cracks on your solar panels, it is recommended that you contact a professional for inspection before making any decisions.
End Note On Solar Panel Cleaning
Regularly cleaning Sour solar panels is essential to keep them efficient and maximize energy production. With the correct equipment and techniques, you can safely and effectively clean them without damaging them. Remember to prioritize safety by avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasives that could scratch or harm the panels. If you want expert opinion from the professionals of “US Energy Discounts“, than do let us know.

-- Rubber Glut Shrinking as Car Sales Expand to Record: Commodities
Monsoon rains that drenched rubber
plantations across India and Malaysia are diminishing a glut of
supply for the first time in three years, just as record global
car sales are boosting demand for tires. The surplus will narrow by at least 12 percent to 284,000
metric tons this year, according to the International Rubber
Study Group, a 36-nation body based in Singapore . Futures that
fell as much as 62 percent since peaking in 2011 rallied into a
bull market in August. Prices will rise another 14 percent to
300 yen a kilogram ($3,100 a ton) by Dec. 31, according to the
median of 15 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg News . Car sales in China, which uses about a third of the world’s
rubber, jumped 13 percent in the first eight months of the year,
contributing to what LMC Automotive Ltd. said will be record
global purchases in 2013. Smaller-than-expected output combined
with rising demand prompted RCMA Commodities Asia Group, the
Singapore-based company that’s been in the rubber business for a
century, to cut its estimate for this year’s glut by 33 percent
to 351,000 tons in August.’’ “Global economic recovery is supporting demand and the
rains have hit output,” said Tetsu Emori , a senior fund manager
at Astmax Asset Management Inc. in Tokyo who has tracked the
rubber market for 13 years. “The glut isn’t going to be as big
as everyone had expected.” Benchmark Gauges Rubber jumped 18 percent to 264 yen on the Tokyo Commodity
Exchange since reaching a nine-month low in June, trimming this
year’s retreat to 14 percent. The Standard & Poor’s GSCI gauge
of 24 commodities fell 0.9 percent since the start of January as
the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities gained 12 percent.
The Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index lost 2.4 percent. India, the fourth-biggest grower, produced 32 percent less
in July than a year earlier as monsoon rains disrupted the
tapping of trees, said Rajiv Budhraja, a member of the
government-run Rubber Board. Annual output may contract as much
as 3 percent, he said. “There has been a significant decline in production
because of the monsoon,” said Budhraja, who is also director
general of the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers’ Association.
“Tapping was very, very restricted in the whole of July and a
major part of August.” Rubber trees yield latex that is tapped by cutting into the
bark and allowing the liquid to drain into containers. The
material is then processed, dried and tied into bales. Malaysian Output In Malaysia , the third-biggest producer, output fell 11
percent in the first eight months from a year earlier because of
bad weather, according to the Kuala Lumpur-based Association of
Natural Rubber Producing Countries. Annual production will drop 14 percent in Malaysia and 6.1
percent in India, Prachaya Jumpasut, the managing director of
The Rubber Economist, said in report last month. The 22 percent
slump in prices in the first half of the year spurred farmers to
tap less rubber, Jumpasut said. Thailand , the largest producer, amended a program to help
farmers in September by making payments based on the amount of
land planted rather than buying up surplus rubber. The change
reduces the incentive to keep tapping trees even as prices
slump. Production fell 7 percent in the first half of the year
and exports contracted 5 percent, according to the Rubber
Research Institute of Thailand. Weather in second-ranked Indonesia has been more favorable
and output may rise 5.2 percent to 3.2 million tons this year,
Aziz Pane, chairman of the Jakarta-based Indonesia Rubber
Council, said in an interview Oct. 2. Growth Risk China ’s growth is a threat to the rising prices anticipated
in the Bloomberg News survey. The second-largest economy will
gain 7.6 percent this year and 7.4 percent in 2014, according to
the median of 57 economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That
would be the slowest expansion since 1990. Bridgestone Corp. (5108) , the biggest tiremaker, expects to use
1.86 million tons of natural and synthetic rubber this year,
according to Kim Yangsuk, a spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based
company. While that would be a record, it’s also lower than the
1.93 million tons the company projected in May. The diminishing glut is spurring consumers to use more
supply from stockpiles, particularly in China, said Abah Ofon , a
Singapore-based analyst at Standard Chartered Plc. Inventories
in Qingdao, the nation’s main rubber trading hub, dropped 24
percent to 283,100 tons since reaching a record in April.
Stockpiles monitored by the Tokyo Commodity Exchange were 2,831
tons on Sept. 20, near the lowest level since August 2010. Chinese Stockpiles Officials from China’s State Reserve Bureau met executives
from the nation’s biggest domestic suppliers in September,
seeking 150,000 tons for government stockpiles, according to two
people familiar with the matter. The bureau also wanted 50,000
tons of imported supply, they said. Tires represent 70 percent of natural-rubber consumption in
China, the Qingdao International Rubber Exchange Market
estimates. Vehicle sales reached a record 13.95 million units in
the first eight months of the year, data from the China
Automotive Information Network show. Global automobile sales will rise 2.9 percent to an all-time high of 83.5 million units this year and another 5.4
percent to 88 million in 2014, said Ammar Master, a senior
market analyst at the Thai unit of Oxford, England-based LMC
Automotive. A tire for a medium or heavy commercial vehicle uses as
much as 18 kilograms (40 pounds) of natural rubber, while those
for passenger cars contain less than 1 kilogram, according to
CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, a brokerage in Hong Kong . “Auto sales will keep setting records,” said Naohiro Niimura, a partner at Market Risk Advisory, a research company
in Tokyo. “That’s going to bolster demand for rubber.” To contact the reporters on this story:

A Hungarian artist, Soma Orlai Petrich (1822–1880), painted the above scene, which depicts an event from the history of the ancient Roman Republic. Center stage—the seated man with a worried look on his face—is an artistic rendition of an ancient man named Gnaeus Marcius Coriolanus. He was said to have been a powerful figure in Rome who lived at the turn of the 6th and 5th century BCE. According to legend and tradition, Coriolanus rose to prominence as a war hero in the Roman army, and he used his reputation to ascend the political ranks in Rome. As a politician, Coriolanus reportedly sided with the oligarchic ruling class, and he allegedly masterminded several schemes to oppress the Roman commoners. He was said to have become way too extreme in his political maneuverings, however, and in the end, he was prosecuted by the outraged common masses. As Coriolanus had become too controversial, Rome’s oligarchs abandoned him and made no attempt to stop his banishment.
Unfortunately for Rome, Coriolanus was intent on revenge. As the story goes, the exiled warrior soon found asylum with one of the greatest enemies of the Roman people at that time—the Volscians. Bitter about the oligarchs and commoners uniting against him, Coriolanus offered his military experience to the Volscian forces, and he allegedly became a general or advisor for their army. According to the Roman historian, Livy, Coriolanus helped the Volscians wage war against Rome from around 490-488 BCE, and he besieged Rome itself in the last year of the conflict.
During the siege, the Romans were said to have sent a very special delegation to negotiate with Coriolanus. Among the group were three generations of his family, including his mother, his wife, and his children, all begging for him to end his siege of Rome. This scene of Coriolanus being confronted by his family was captured by Soma Orlai Petrich in the painting shown above. The historian, Livy, similarly described the incident in his History of Rome:
“Coriolanus was profoundly moved; almost beside himself, he started from his seat and, running to his mother, would have embraced her had he not been checked by her sudden turn to anger…His wife and children flung their arms round him; the other women all burst into tears of anguish for themselves and their country, until at last Coriolanus could bear no more. He kissed his wife and the two boys, sent them home, and withdrew his army” (History of Rome, 2.40).

This is a follow up question of Sending html commands over httpclient android , I have successfully POSTed to the server and recieved 200 code but when I attempt to move to another page it does not recognize that I have logged in. I am wondering if it is a session issue or if i need to follow the redirect after the POST. How would I go about following a redirect? Again any help is greatly appreciated.

I first press the login button on the UI which gives me the Http/1.1 200 OK response code, but when I press the btnFetch button which sends me to a page in which you must but logged in to access, I get the not logged in page. Any ideas?

I know, quite a little bit late, but I also come across this posting and I want the link to this answere here: Android session management which says that you should reuse your HttpClient which handles Session Management, ie. make HttpClient static and instantiate it only once. But I dont know if this is the whole truth for your requirements. For me it was.
Cheers!

After much research and many examples later I have finally managed to login to the site I was attempting. Apparently It was an issue with me not consuming the entity from the response, ie the cookies. I created a simple activity who's main purpose is to GET and POST to the site then spit out the result into LogCat. Perhaps this may help others.
public class HttpClientTest extends Activity{
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request;
HttpEntity entity;
List<Cookie> cookies;

request = new HttpGet("http://some.site.com/");
response = client.execute(request);
entity = response.getEntity();
Log.d(TAG, "Login form get: " + response.getStatusLine());

}
Log.d(TAG, "Initial set of cookies:");
cookies = client.getCookieStore().getCookies();
if (cookies.isEmpty())
{
Log.d(TAG, "None");
}
else
{
for(int i = 0; i<cookies.size(); i++)
{
Log.d(TAG, "- " + cookies.get(i));
}
}
String action = "i.cfm?&1028&p=login&se=4";
String yourServer = "http://some.site.com/";
post = new HttpPost(yourServer + action);
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("nic", "username"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", "password"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("server", "4"));
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params, HTTP.UTF_8));
response = client.execute(post);
entity = response.getEntity();
Log.d(TAG, "Login form get: " + response.getStatusLine());
if(entity != null){
entity.consumeContent();
}
Log.d(TAG, "Post logon cookies:");
cookies = client.getCookieStore().getCookies();
if (cookies.isEmpty())
{
Log.d(TAG, "None");
}
else
{
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.size(); i++)
{
Log.d(TAG, "- " + cookies.get(i));
}
}
request = new HttpGet("http://some.site.com/i.cfm?f=com_empire&cm=3");
response = client.execute(request);
Log.d(TAG, "Check for login: " + Parser.request(response));
if(entity != null)
{
entity.consumeContent();
}
}
}
the last log, Log.d(TAG, "Check for login: " + Parser.request(response)); prints out the html of the site by going through a parser class, which I used to verify that it was infact a page that required successful login

Signal Controlled Speed Influence (HLU)
DCCWiki, a community DCC encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
Summary: Zimo's HLU, also known as Signal Controlled Speed Influence, allows control of trains based on signal states.
Introduction
As this is primarily a European system, information in English is hard to come by. Most of the following is derived from instruction manuals and Zimo catalogs.
ZIMO digital systems offer a second level of communication for transmitting data to vehicles in specific track sections. The most common application for this is the “signal controlled speed influence” for stopping trains and applying speed limits in 5 stages, with data sent to the track sections as needed in the form of HLU cut- outs prepared by MX9 track section modules or its successors. This feature only operates within ZIMO systems.
All Zimo decoders since 2004 support this protocol, as do some other European decoder manufacturers. Many DCC manufactures of European origin feature some form of automation.
HLU
Identifier Meaning
H HALT
UH Interstage
U Ultra Slow
LU Interstage
L sLow
FL Interstage
F Full Speed
Zimo began developing the HLU system many years prior to the arrival of Automatic Brake Control (ABC), and in many aspects HLU is more capable than ABC.
Its name is derived from the H-L-U signals transmitted by Zimo's accessory decoders.
HLU is a second communication protocol, from an electronic unit, located between the command station and an insulated track section, to the stationary decoder located on the track section. Zimo calls theirs a StEin.
HLU data can be different from track section to track section (e.g. concerning HLU-limits), does NOT have an address and are read by ZIMO decoders.
HLU data works like commands to stop trains or to reduce their speed to one of the 5 HLU speed limits. HLU data reaches the decoder virtually without delay, because it is sent about 11 times/sec.
One of the 7 HLU steps is set on the stationary decoder's track section outputs, usually based on the command of an interlocking program (i.e. computer). When the train passes a point contact, the StEin switches the HLU-steps autonomously.
The speed limits “U”(Ultra low) and “L” (Low speed) as well as the intermediate limits of the “signal controlled speed influence” can be defined
Six speed limits (including stop) slow down every train equipped with the appropriate decoder to the (adjustable) maximum speed of the track section, or stop it. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Just when you think you can speak workout, along comes a new buzzword. The ‘Monster set’ is one of the latest ideas for getting real value from training. Here’s the jargon unpicked.
Sets and reps
Let’s start from the beginning. A ‘rep’ or repetition is one complete move. A set is a collection of repetitions. So do one squat, down and back up, that’s a rep. Do five squats and then take a rest, that’s a set of five reps.
How many reps in a set? Up to you.
A ‘hard set’ is when you keep doing the reps until you can’t. That’s called ‘train to failure’. This needs some caution as you don’t want to cause injury or get hit by weights that you can’t lower properly. (Always have a spotter.)
Multiple sets
Next up: ‘superset’ and ‘compound set’. A superset means two sets performed without a break in between. Those two exercises must work different muscle groups to meet the definition of superset.
Do those five squats and then move immediately to bicep curls – that’s a superset.
The two muscle groups don’t have to be in different body parts. They could be opposing ones such as bicep and triceps, or hamstrings and quads.
If the two sets work the same muscle groups, that is a compound set. That could be two different types of lifts for the upper body, or squats and lunges for the lower body.
By the way – a compound exercise is a movement or a series of moves that work multiple muscles. Still good but not the same thing.
Do different types of sets have different effects?
Yes. And also no. The advantage of supersets is that they are more time efficient, because one muscle group can be resting while you train another.
That said, compound sets will really blitz the target muscle group, and you can always switch to a different compound set afterwards.
Remember that rest is essential for muscle building. Muscles actually do their growing during their time off as the fibre tears made by exercise heal up. Working day after day on one muscle group is not only dull, but less efficient than mixing it up.
Ok, so what is this monster set?
A monster set is the big brother of a compound set. Choose two exercises for the same muscle group and keep repeating them until you can do no more. Make sure you are fully warmed up to avoid any muscle damage.
Here are some ideas for various muscle groups. These can be started with small weights, increasing as you build confidence and strength.
Legs:
• Weighted squats followed by leg presses.
• Leg curls paired with stiff-leg deadlifts.
Shoulders:
• Bench press followed by press ups.
• Side raises followed by weighted rows.
Abdominals:
• Hanging leg raise followed by reverse crunch.
• Lunge followed by glute bridge.
Triceps:
• Dips either from the floor on a captain’s chair machine. Follow with French presses on a cable machine.
So many moves, and sometimes so little time – but with a monster set you know you are getting the most from your Hussle session. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Upon avoidance, a voidable act shall be deemed to have been void from the outset, and the parties thereto shall return to their original positions. If such return is impossible, damages shall be given instead.
If any person has been or should have been aware that any act is voidable, that person shall, upon avoidance, be deemed to have been aware that the act is void from the day he becomes or should have become aware of its voidability.
No claim arising from the return to the original position according to paragraph 1 shall be exercised upon elapse of one year from the day the voidable act is avoided.
If any of the persons having the right to avoid a voidable act according to section 175 has confirmed the voidable act, the act shall be deemed to have been valid from the outset. However, this does not affect the rights of a third person.
Avoidance or confirmation of a voidable act is made by expression of intention to the other party who can certainly be identified.
Confirmation of a voidable act is only valid when it is made after the grounds of the voidability of such act have ended.
A person adjudged incompetent or quasi-incompetent by a court order or insane person who did a voidable act according to section 30 can only confirm the voidable act when he learns of such voidable act after having been discharged from the incompetence or quasi-incompetence or when he is sane, as the case may be.
An heir of a person who did a voidable act can only confirm the voidable act from the time the person who did the voidable act dies, save where the right of the dead person to avoid the voidable act has already terminated.
The provisions of paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 shall not apply if the voidable act is confirmed by the legal representative, custodian, or curator.
After the time which confirmation may be given according to section 179, if any of the following circumstances occurs in relation to the voidable act because of an action of a person having the right to avoid it, it shall be deemed to be the giving of confirmation, unless any explicit reservation is made:
an obligation has been performed in whole or in part;
the performance of an obligation has been demanded;
an obligation has been novated;
security has been provided for an obligation; | WIKI |
SHORT TAXONOMIC GUIDE TO THE GENUS ‘CANDIDATUS PHYTOPLASMA’
G. Firrao, K. Gibb, C. Streten
doi: 10.4454/jpp.v87i4.926
Abstract:
The category of Candidatus was introduced to allow unambiguous reference to organisms that could not be cultivated in vitro. In plant pathology, a major impact of this novel taxonomic concept was to enable the classification of the diverse group of organisms, morphologically similar to the mycoplasmas, known by the trivial name of phytoplasmas. These plant pathogens were originally named according to the disease they caused. Later, extensive sequence analysis of the ribosomal RNA genes allowed the development of an evolutionbased classification and the grouping of the phytoplasmas into phylogenetically distinct clades. Unfortunately, the phytopathological and the phylogenetic classification did not match and had striking contradictions. With the adoption of the category Candidatus, the description of the genus ‘Ca. Phytoplasma’ and several ‘Ca. Phytoplasma’ species, the scientific community is now attempting to provide a classification that takes into account both the phylogenetic and the biological/ ecological characteristics of the organisms. Here we provide an outline of the characteristics and composition of the genus ‘Ca. Phytoplasma’.

Marsh Launches CloudProtect - Analyst Blog
Marsh Inc. ("Marsh"), an operating subsidiary of the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. ( MMC ) launched a new, innovative product called CloudProtect in order to mitigate the risks associated with cloud computing. It has been developed in association with some of the biggest cyber risk insurers.
The company seeks to provide personalized risk transfer solutions to the insured for revenue loss and increased expenses due to some blunder at the end of the cloud service provider. One of the major benefits of availing CloudProtect is that it they ensure repayment of expenses incurred by the insurer while shifting to a new service provider.
A facility like cloud computing allows the efficient use of technology in providing a single space for storage, memory, processing and bandwidth. However, problems due network interruptions need to be overcome.
However, the technology comes with certain disadvantages such as cyber attack, insolvency, network interruptions or other such events. The insured will be in a vulnerable position if the service provider fails to provide the promised services under the prior mentioned conditions.
Aon Corporation ( AON ), the closest competitor of Marsh & McLennan, has been offering similar cloud services for quite some time. RIScloud is the technology used by Aon eSolutions to provide risk, insurance and safety to its clients.
However, Marsh & McLennan has a history of outperforming its peers due to its size, diverse product offering, global presence and technical expertise. We retain our long term Neutral recommendation on Marsh & McLennan. It also has a quantitative Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating.

Coherent response of mini-bands to parametric perturbations in the Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix theory
Date/Time: 16:00 25-Aug-2021
Abstract:
We consider both analytically (by the supersymmetric non-linear sigma-model) and numerically (by exact diagonalization) the local density of states parametric correlation function in the multifractal phase of the Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix model. The results show that the mini-band in the local spectrum is shifted coherently without its destruction as the parameters of the Hamiltonian are varied. Since the number of levels in the mini-band is extensive with the size of the matrix such a collective response greatly enhances sensitivity of the system to adiabatic perturbation. This effect is expected to hold in the Anderson model on random regular graph (where the number of levels in a mini-band is finite, albeit parametrically large close to localization transition) and in realistic many-body systems.

These had limited capacity, were slow for both reading and writing, required complex high-voltage drive circuitry, and could be re-written only after erasing the entire contents of the chip.
most consumer desktop and laptop computers have one or more USB 3.0 ports available on the back IO plane or through PCB headers.
USB 3.0 expansion cards are also available to upgrade older systems.
Altering the contents of a particular memory location involved copying the entire field into an off-chip buffer memory, erasing the field, modifying the data as required in the buffer, and re-writing it into the same field.
This required considerable computer support, and PC-based EEPROM flash memory systems often carried their own dedicated microprocessor system.
Flash drives are more or less a miniaturized version of this.
The development of high-speed serial data interfaces such as USB made semiconductor memory systems with serially accessed storage viable, and the simultaneous development of small, high-speed, low-power microprocessor systems allowed this to be incorporated into extremely compact systems.It was announced in late 2008, but consumer devices were not available until the beginning of 2010.The USB 3.0 interface specifies transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), compared to USB 2.0's 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s).Drives typically use the USB mass storage device class to communicate with the host.A Kingston card reader which accepts Micro SD memory cards (Transcend card shown partially inserted), and acts as a USB flash drive; resulting size is approximately 2 cm in length, 1 cm in width, and 2 mm in thickness.Pua Khein-Seng from Malaysia is considered by many to be the "Father of Pen Drive". | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Deryneia
Deryneia (Greek: Δερύνεια; Turkish: Derinya) is a large village in the island of Cyprus. It is located on the east side of the island, 2 km south of the city of Famagusta. The population of the village is 5,758 (October 2011 census) and it consists of a municipality since 1994. The current mayor is Andros Karayiannis. Since the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, around 75% of the village terrain is in Northern Cyprus. The village is 12 kilometers from the famous resort of Ayia Napa. The "Ghost Town" of Varosha can be clearly viewed from the roof of the Cultural Centre, as can the craters from shells fired during the invasion in the field opposite.
The village has agricultural land around it, and is one of the "Kokkinochoria" (red villages) so called from the red soil. Potatoes are widely grown but Deryneia is famous for its strawberries and holds a biennial strawberry festival at the football ground of Anagennisi Deryneia on the Dherynia to Sotira road.
Historical background
According to data and information available, Dherynia is in this position for about 700 years. But it turns out the archaeological sites and monuments in the occupied area and the buffer zone that the history of Deryneia is much greater.
We do not know exactly why the area was named "Dherynia". Simos Menardos and Mr J. Goodwin in his book, argue that settlers settled there, perhaps after the Trojan War, the ancient city that was Gerineia near Pylos, Peloponnese and was the capital of the Kingdom of the famous and prudent King Nestor, which Homer calls GERINION, came from Gerinia. The above, embraces and Nearchus Clerides in his book,"Villages States and Cyprus." Another version is that the name came from the name of an English or Frankish general who once camped in the "mountains" of Dheryneia. The above and other aspects included in the study Deryneioti composer - Mr. Adamou researcher Katsantoni issued in 1991.
What today we can consider as evidence to support his claim to the name of Deryneia is that between the southeast and Deryneia and beach is located on ancient village called Therimeio or Therineio. Later became "Drynio", "Dryneia" and finally "Dherynia.
Current form
Embracing the bay of Famagusta on the east coast of Cyprus, next to the historic and cosmopolitan city of Evagoras, near the famous Famagusta, is the beautiful and near the sea, Dherynia.
It is only 5 kilometers from Famagusta and 2 km from the sea with the golden sand.
The mesh of Attila in 1974 has a result that the 70% of the municipality is occupied and all residents have lost their property.
The population of the municipality is approximately 7,500 people. This figure includes the 1,000 refugees living in a refugee settlement in Deryneia and excludes 3,000 refugees inhabitants of occupied "Kato", or "Down Deryneia" where refugees scattered throughout Cyprus and abroad.
Although the consequences of the Turkish invasion hindered the progress and development of the area both economically as commercially and in tourism area, however due to the progressiveness and industriousness of its inhabitants and the efforts of individual Local Authorities and organized the municipality became possible to develop Dherynia in a great level.
Residents of the City are farmers or are employed in the tourism industry of Agia Napa and Protaras, trade, processing and crafts.
The farmers involved in the cultivation of early vegetables and especially the cultivation of strawberries. Deryneia traditionally holds the first position in strawberry production and covers 60% of a national production. In fact it is given great importance and every 2 years, in mid-May, and organised with great success, the Pancyprian Festival Strawberry which attracts thousands of visitors, both locals and foreigners.
In the field of culture Dherynia has created and maintains a long tradition. Ranks among the first communities founded dance, theater and music groups.
Also in the field of sport, Deryneia boasts great successes. The Athletic Association "Anagennisi (Renaissance)" founded in 1920 ranks among the historic clubs in Cyprus, maintains football and volleyball teams for men and women. The National Association "Christodoulou Dimitrakis' has a futsal team in first division. The Dherynia athletes has made a national and worldwide with great success in athletics and shooting.
The offer of Deryneia is also strong in the National Games. Brought to the ideals of democracy and freedom of young people, responding to the calls of our small country have offered their lives in the struggle for freedom.
Deryneia has several monuments, landmarks and points of reference, such as Byzantine churches, Folklore Museum, Monuments Heroes, Outdoor Amphitheatre, Sports Centre, City Park, City Hall, the Cultural Centre of Occupied Famagusta.
Despite the difficulties with the occupation and semi-occupation of Deryneia, progress and growth led to the upgrading of local government. From Improvement Board which functioned until January 6, 1994 upgraded to municipality after a referendum held on June 6, 1993 and percentage 74.70% of residents voted to upgrade the Community Council.
Strawberry Festival
Deryneia is directly connected with the cultivation of strawberries after the first strawberry plantations on commercial basis in Cyprus cultured in Derynia of the pioneer farmer m.Mitsio Giannoukou 55 years ago. Today despite the occupation and the loss of 70% of the region following the tragic events of 1974, Deryneia is still by far the first in the cultivation and production of strawberries in Cyprus, both in quantity and in quality. The Pancyprian Strawberry Festival was organized by the Municipality in 1999 and is presented every 2 years. This Festival is about showcasing the innovative culture of the strawberry and the distribution of the product and by-products in conjunction with the presentation of quality cultural and artistic programmes. Thousands visitors the festival and locals are offered free fresh strawberries and various preparations of strawberries as juice, jams, liqueurs, sweets, ice creams etc. that the strawberry producers and their spouses prepare. Organized entire municipality operate booths at the festival featuring food and drinks, and guests are able to enjoy the spectacular fireworks and throwing lavish artistic program.

Is It Time to Ditch Your Fish Oil Pill for This "Miracle" Medicine?
It's not your ordinary fish oil pill.
As a purified formulation of the long-chain omega3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Amarin 's (NASDAQ: AMRN) Vascepa doesn't contain docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega3 fatty acid that can elevate bad cholesterol levels and counteract the benefit of EPA in cardiovascular disease patients.
Vascepa has been available by prescription for years, but we didn't find out until now just how well it works at curbing heart attack, stroke, or death caused by cardiovascular disease.
Is this a blockbuster miracle drug in the making?
How we fight cardiovascular disease today
There's no cure for cardiovascular disease, but a class of drugs called statins are commonly used to help lower bad cholesterol, or LDL-C, to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events. Statins are used by tens of millions of patients every day, but they don't work for everyone. In tough-to-treat cases, another class of drugs called PCSK9 inhibitors may be used.
These two classes of medicine work differently. Statins help prevent the production of bad cholesterol in the liver, while PCSK9 inhibitors boost the number of LDL-C receptors in the liver so that more LDL-C can be removed from the bloodstream.
Unlike statins and PCSK9 inhibitors, Omega3 fish oil attempts to fight cardiovascular disease by lowering triglycerides, the main constituents of natural fats and oils.
In the past, studies have shown that fish oil can reduce inflammation that may contribute to various diseases, so nutritionists commonly recommend that patients consume fish high in omega3, or that they take omega3 fish oil supplements. In fact, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the American Heart Association all recommend eating two 8-ounce servings of fish each week because of its health benefits.
Despite the recommendations, researchers have struggled to prove that consuming omega3 statistically reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events. These studies may have come up short because they've evaluated a low dose of EPA or EPA from sources, including supplements, that also include DHA. DHA is important to proper brain function, but because it can boost bad cholesterol levels, it may have counteracted EPA's effectiveness in prior studies.
A new study could transform treatment
After Amarin's results from Vascepa's long-term cardiovascular trial were reported today, many cardiologists may be reevaluating how they treat their patients.
In its study, Amarin enrolled over 8,000 people with LDL-C levels between 41 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) to 100 mg/dL while on statin therapy, who also had triglyceride levels that were between 150 mg/dL to 499 mg/dL. What they discovered was that 4 grams of Vascepa taken daily lowered the risk of a major cardiovascular event, including death, by 25% -- and that relative reduction is on top of the benefits historically associated with patients with LDL-C controlled by statin therapy. Or, Vascepa adds 25% relative risk reduction on top of the 25%-plus reduction historically observed in patients taking statins.
It's impressive enough to think that Vascepa could win widespread use alongside statins in patients whose triglyceride levels are elevated. If so, then Amarin's sales could skyrocket.
Currently, Vascepa is only approved for use in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia, or triglyceride levels greater than 500 mg/dL, but less than 2% of the 3.8 million patients with high triglycerides are currently being treated. It's likely that will change following this data.
Also, because Amarin's study included patients with triglyceride levels as low as 150 mg/dL, an FDA OK to expand Vascepa's label to include patients with similar levels could add millions of new potential patients to this therapy. For consideration, there are about 38 million Americans who take statins every day to reduce their cardiovascular disease risks, and between 50 million to 70 million adults in U.S. have triglycerides levels higher than 150 mg/dL.
If doctors and patients embrace Vascepa widely following these results, then Amarin's forecast for sales this year of $230 million may only be the tip of the iceberg.

-- Monti to Meet Labor Unions Amid Fresh Warning on Crisis
Italy ’s Prime Minister Mario Monti
will press ahead with efforts to revise the country’s labor laws
this week, amid fresh warnings that the three-year-old European
debt crisis is far from over. Monti will lead talks with unions and employers in a final
round of negotiations beginning tomorrow as the government seeks
an agreement this week. Decision makers meanwhile warned against
complacency after delivery of the final element of Greece ’s 130
billion-euro ($171 billion) bailout package and the completion
of the world’s largest sovereign-debt restructuring last week. “Optimism should not give us a sense of comfort or lull us
into a false sense of security,” International Monetary Fund
Managing Director Christine Lagarde said at the China
Development Forum in Beijing yesterday. “We cannot go back to
business as usual,” she said, urging vigilance on oil prices ,
debt and the risk of slowing growth in emerging markets . An easing of the crisis offered breathing room for Monti to
seek an Italian labor-market overhaul and for euro-area
ministers aiming to bolster euro bailout funding before a
meeting at the end of the month. Still, urgency was underscored
by an IMF warning that the Greek bailout held “exceptional
risks” that could prompt a “disorderly” exit from the
monetary union unless additional help is prepared. ‘Sovereign Default’ “The materialization of these risks would most likely
require additional debt relief by the official sector and, short
of that, lead to a sovereign default,” IMF staff wrote in a
report released March 16. “In the absence of continued official
support and access to” refinancing by the European Central
Bank , “a disorderly euro exit would be unavoidable,” it said. With billions of euros committed to hold Greece afloat and
investors looking to see whether contagion could spread to Spain
or Italy, the fragility of rescue efforts were reflected in bond
yields last week. Spain’s 10-year yield climbed 20 basis points
to 5.20 percent, the second weekly gain, while the yield on
similar-maturity Italian debt rose three basis points to 4.86
percent. Stocks and the euro fell, with the Stoxx Europe 600 Index
down 0.5 percent at 9:45 a.m. Frankfurt time and the euro down
0.2 percent, trading at $1.3151. Investors have been encouraged by the Italian prime
minister’s efforts to rein in the country’s debt since his
government of non-politicians replaced Silvio Berlusconi ’s
administration last year. Month’s End Monti’s labor overhaul will include a revision of firing
rules and an expansion of jobless benefits. The rules, which
will distinguish between workers removed without just cause and
those fired for disciplinary or economic reasons, are among the
most contentious. Under article 18 of the Italian labor code,
employers have to compensate and rehire any worker ruled to have
been fired without just cause by a labor court. Monti met with employer and labor chiefs over the weekend
and has said he wants to pass labor legislation by the end of
the month. Italian Labor Minister Elsa Fornero said she will
present a plan to overhaul labor laws even if negotiations with
unions and employers fail to produce an agreement. “We can’t keep going ahead and having endless
discussions,” she said last night on the television program
“Che Tempo Che Fa.” Fornero said that the two-month-old talks
had “matured” and that an agreement could be reached. “We’ll get an agreement within about a week, although
there may be some small changes to the present proposal before
it’s all done,” Erik Nielsen , chief global economist at
UniCredit SpA (UCG) in London , wrote in a note to clients. Greek Election Even as focus shifted beyond Greece to other parts of the
euro area, the IMF’s continuing concern about the Greek package
illustrated the difficulty of implementing changes that
officials in Brussels and Athens had been negotiating for
months. Greece remains “accident prone,” the Washington-based
institution’s staff said in the report. The IMF reduced its contribution to the second Greek
bailout because the operation poses what staff called
“unprecedented financial risks” to its finances. One of the
risks identified was the Greek election, to be held in April or
May. Lagarde has pushed European governments to boost their
bailout fund in an effort to protect Spain and Italy from
contagion. Euro finance ministers may decide to increase the
region’s crisis fund to a total capacity of 692 billion euros
when they meet on March 30, a euro-area official said March 16. EFSF Moves The ministers, who will meet in Copenhagen, are weighing
what to do with the temporary European Financial Stability
Facility and its permanent successor, the European Stability
Mechanism. The 692 billion-euro figure represents the most
attainable compromise between 500 billion euros, if policy
makers change nothing, to a maximum of 940 billion euros, the
official said. On March 16, Chancellor Angela Merkel left the door open to
boosting the euro-area backstop, saying a decision on
reinforcing the firewall will be made before IMF meetings next
month. Ministers have discussed “combination possibilities”
for the EFSF and the ESM ahead of their meeting. “What’s clear is that we need to settle on a position with
a view to the IMF’s spring meeting because the topic will surely
come up and because there have been offers by the international
community,” Merkel said. “You can count on us setting the
course by the end of March.” To contact the reporter on this story:

Y Flyer
The Y Flyer is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Alvin Youngquist in 1938 as a one-design racer and first built in 1941.
Production
The boat design was first shown in The Rudder magazine in 1938, as plans for amateur construction. Homebuilding of the boat from spruce and plywood continued after fiberglass boats were commercially available.
The design was built by Jack A. Helms Co., Jibetech and more recently, by Turner Marine in the United States, but it is now out of production.
George Hinterhoeller was establishing his boat building enterprise Hinterhoeller Limited in 1956, in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. He built 40 Y-Flyers as his first production boat, "before the market dried up".
Design
The Y Flyer is a recreational sailboat, initially built predominantly of wood, later versions were constructed of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a flexible fractional sloop rig with wooden or aluminum spars and a rotating mast. The hull is a scow design, with a flat bottom, a reverse sheer and a hard hull chine. The hull features a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable steel or aluminum centerboard. It displaces 500 lb.
The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft with the centerboard extended and 6 in with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
For sailing the boat has a mainsheet traveler. It may also be optionally equipped with built-in suction bailers, barber haulers, transom flaps and hiking straps. The class rules in the United States prohibit spinnakers, but these are used for racing in Canada.
The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 88.1 and is normally raced with a crew of two sailors.
Operational history
The design is a supported by an active class club, the Y-Flyer Yacht Racing Association, that organizes races and regulates the boat design.
By 1994 there were Canadian fleets in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. American fleets were located in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, Georgia and South Carolina. There were also fleets in the US northeast and on the Pacific coast.
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "The Y Flyer has a hard chine and flat bottom and is unusually stable. A slight heel reduces wetted surface dramatically, however, as may be seen from the [Portsmouth] rating." | WIKI |

Ted Cruz needs a contested convention to win — and here's how he plans to do it
Towson, Maryland (CNN)The map weaves from hardscrabble downstate Delaware to heavily Catholic Rhode Island to tony Fairfield County boating towns on the waterfront of Long Island Sound. Not exactly Cruz Country. Fresh off a bruising defeat at the hands of Donald Trump in New York, Ted Cruz is now retreating to what is, at best, only barely friendlier territory: The I-95 corridor, home to five states that will vote on Tuesday. As Cruz prepares for what could be one of the biggest momentum-stopping weeks of his campaign, he is aiming to make the best of a bad hand. And the rout on Tuesday means that Cruz now must win 101% of the remaining pledged delegates to clinch the Republican nomination, according to CNN calculations, making a contested convention his only hope. Yet even if Cruz is now officially mathematically eliminated, Trump still has a traditional, even if tight, path to the 1,237 delegates required for a first-ballot win. Sean Hannity to Ted Cruz: 'I'm getting sick of it' So Cruz's task next week is less about keeping alive his own path to the magic number -- and more about narrowing Trump's. In a series of contests that his campaign concedes will be rough, the Texas senator is training his eyes on a pair of states, Maryland and Pennsylvania, where he sees chances to pick off delegates even amid Trump's Northeast sweeps. That could provide enough of a thrust ahead of Indiana, where the campaign is slowly building an Iowa-like pop-up operation to beat Trump on the ground. Inside Ted Cruz's hunt for delegates with Ken Cuccinelli "It is important to keep up some momentum," said Ellen Sauerbrey, a former U.S. ambassador and a longtime Maryland GOP powerbroker who is backing Cruz. "If it looks like Trump is having a clean sweep for the next two weeks, that undermines, I think, his campaign's momentum enough to slow it down." Elizabeth Warren slams Ted Cruz for 'whining' about 2016 race Maryland has long been eyed as the closest thing to an opportunity for the Cruz campaign on an unfriendly April 26 map. The day before the primary in New York -- where Cruz had not held a public campaign event in 72 hours -- he held a low-key rally in an American Legion hall in this Baltimore suburb. Bronx protester: Why I went off on Ted Cruz Unlike in other northeastern states, where his organization ranges from scant to non-existent, Cruz has built a real state campaign here. And much like he tried to do in New York, Cruz is planning to drill down on individual congressional districts, each of which will award three delegates Tuesday. New York was hardly a proof point for the wisdom of that strategy, despite aides' early confidence that they could limit Trump's romp. Florida offers reminder of Cruz's tough slog ahead Winning districts in Maryland won't be easy, Republicans on the ground here say, in a state home some of the most gerrymandered congressional districts in the United States, which make other states' partisan-rigged congressional maps look clean-cut. (The American Legion hall where Cruz spoke was in the Third District -- the library across the street was in the Second.) "Things have been drawn in such a way that it is probably a lot harder for a candidate like that to find pure conservative votes," said Steve Raabe, an unaligned GOP pollster based in Annapolis. "There aren't automatic congressional district pockets in this state." American democracy? Primary rules test the idea Cruz has suggested that he will not compete aggressively in the other trio of states -- Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware -- where Trump could easily sweep the 63 delegates needed to push him closer to the 1,237 delegate threshold needed to clinch the GOP nomination. Case in point: Cruz has not unveiled leadership teams in any of those states, even though they vote in only six days' time. Cruz was beat Tuesday across every demographic group in New York, according to exit polls, a state similar to those Cruz will confront next week. Some states present added obstacles for Cruz: Wealthy Connecticut suburbs could be prime target for the moderate John Kasich, while more economically depressed areas of Rhode Island or Delaware are sure to be attractive to Trump and his aides. But in Pennsylvania and Maryland, with their more intricate systems for awarding delegates, are poised to at least give Cruz some targets at which to shoot. It was Pennsylvania where Cruz chose to greet the election results in New York on Tuesday night. Three-quarters of the state's 71 delegates are unbound, but its "loophole primary" system requires voters to cast ballots for individual delegates -- an organizational hurdle that the Cruz campaign has shown itself to have mastered so far in the GOP delegate fights. Lowman Henry, Cruz's chairman in the state, talked up his organization to reporters Tuesday evening in Philadelphia, pledging to run "18 different congressional district campaigns." Henry said their delegates are already committed. "We're going to voters saying: 'When you go into the polls on election day, vote four times for Ted Cruz. Vote for Ted Cruz and vote for each of his congressional district delegates,'" Henry said. "If a delegate candidate won't commit to your presidential candidate, don't waste your vote." Gay Republican confronts Ted Cruz over same-sex marriage Cruz is scheduled Wednesday to campaign outside Harrisburg, but Pennsylvania is another state where Cruz has yet to roll out a list of the political players guiding his statewide bid. Polls there have shown Trump with a 20-point lead over his rivals, and Kasich, the governor neighboring Ohio, has been on the Pennsylvania trail for weeks. Cruz quietly began $700,000 worth of advertising there this week. "Tonight, I'm speaking to you from Philadelphia," Cruz said from the National Constitution Center. "And we can learn a great deal about a path forward by focusing on the passionate disputes and disagreements among our founding fathers -- differences that were put aside only because of the weight and consequence of the principles they sought to proclaim and the price to be paid if they failed to rise to the task." Cruz's optimistic speech on Tuesday belied his increasing agitation with Trump for criticizing Cruz's campaign tactics. Trump's claims of a crooked system and shady delegate deals by their campaign has begun to get under the skin of campaign aides, and Cruz himself had a highly contentious interview on Tuesday with Sean Hannity, who pressed Cruz on the ethics of his delegate wrangling. But Cruz is charging forward in Maryland with more delegate targeting. Surveys there show him similarly down by double digits, and sometimes trailing Kasich, but at least four districts stand out to Cruz allies and unaligned Republicans in the state. There's the largely rural Sixth District, stretching from the western panhandle to Washington suburbs. The deeply conservative Eastern Shore. the First District and the only one represented by a Republican. And the Fourth and Seventh Districts, largely black and Democratic, present the same chances to win delegates in places even if they have very few Republican voters. Maryland poll: Clinton, Trump lead And it's not just about Tuesday: An aggressive Maryland campaign is seen as likely to spill over into bordering states later in the calendar. Republicans in West Virginia could easily drive to an event in the panhandle, while earned media in eastern Maryland could influence voters in New Jersey or Delaware, a state that might not get a Cruz rally of its own. That gives the Texas senator some enticement to play hard here and deny Trump from getting closer to the 1,237 delegates for the nomination -- even as some prominent Cruz allies concede he is largely in a hole statewide. Stephen Waugh, a Maryland state senator, reflected the fairly pessimistic lens through which some Cruz leaders here say they view the upcoming northeastern primaries, only saying: "Trump I believe is the favorite, but he can pick up some delegates." But that may be enough to keep him from arriving in Indiana empty-handed. The Hoosier State was circled long ago on the Cruz campaign's calendar. Cruz's father was there last weekend and Cruz himself will be in Indianapolis Thursday. And on Friday his shop will open a "Camp Cruz," the dorm-like accommodations they used to house volunteers for their more retail-heavy operations in places like Iowa and Wisconsin. Mike Close, a 63-year-old real-estate appraiser here, said he's only moderately hopeful that Cruz could make it through Trump's romp of the Northeast. "I wouldn't count Cruz out, because he's very well organized and very smart," he said as he waited for Cruz to speak, "but it just looks like Trump is still the 800-pound gorilla."

China cracks down on illegal hog slaughtering to contain African swine fever
BEIJING (Reuters) - China has launched a campaign to crack down on illegal hog slaughtering, and build more large-scale slaughterhouses, to control the spread of deadly African swine fever, the country’s agriculture ministry said on Tuesday. The campaign will last from December to May next year, highlighting Beijing’s challenge in containing the highly contagious disease that threatens the world’s largest pig herd. Illegal slaughtering and actions such as injecting water and other materials into pigs to increase weight have emerged in some areas recently, after a government ban on live hog transport sent prices soaring in major consumption areas, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said in a statement on its website. Such activities have severely disrupted the hog slaughtering sector, and further increased the risks of spreading African swine fever, the ministry said. Beijing will strengthen inspections of pig slaughterhouses and severely punish those operating without government permit, according to the ministry statement. It will also build more large-scale hog slaughterhouses and increase the number of pigs butchered there by one percent during the next six months, the statement said, a move that will encourage consolidation of the sector, according to analysts. “(The move) is also to regulate the slaughtering industry. Small slaughterhouses with lower butchering capacity will be closed, and for the big ones, it is good news,” said Yao Guiling, an analyst with consultancy China-America Commodity Data Analytics. Beijing has banned transport of live pigs from regions with African swine fever outbreaks and neighboring provinces, following a series of cases of the deadly virus. Farmers in the infected regions as a result can only send their pigs to nearby slaughterhouses, which are in short supply in some areas. The government has already urged major pig producers to diversify into slaughtering and increase processing capacity closer to their farms to reduce the need for transporting live animals. China has reported some 90 cases of the deadly virus across the nation since early August. Reporting by Hallie Gu and Tom Daly; Editing by Tom Hogue | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Hi, I miss from windows the option of "Run As" or "Open As" from the contextual menu.
I wonder if exist a option to enable it (and not resort to command line)

Never seen a feature like that. Why would you need to do that anyway? Maybe there's something we can help with to eliminate that as a need.

If you're averse to using the command line, chances are you don't actually need to know how to do this.

What is it you're doing that needs you to do this?
Installers/file copies will prompt for admin name/pw if required.

Is not for installers.
The way OSX work now is very similar to Vista (prompt for admin, but not runas enabled).
I want it because I have a couple of users in the same machine, and sometimes we need see the files of others or run programs with thir credentials. And i don't like the idea to put files on the shared area.
Seriusly, that is the kind of comment I expect from a linux user!
I can, and know, how use command-line. I'm a profesional developer, but then, why use it if can be avoid?
The question is simple: Can be done, exist or not. If not, the life move on because is a small thing.

The short answer is no, there is no built-in GUI tool for this. The closest you will get is to enable fast user switching, then switch to the user you want to run as. Or use the CLI. Or just set ACLs properly on your machine, so that if you need to share files with a particular user, they are shared.

You could chown the file to the user you want to run it as and the change the permissions so it runs setuid. Then whenever it is executed, it is run as that user.

well or just put the users in the same group and give the group permissions to the concerned files.

That will not make the file run as a particular user. That only allows the two users to run the same file, and it will run as the user who launched it.

an example of a useful application to this would be for Wireshark that is available for OS X. initiating the application starts up with no network interfaces are present due to permission issues. running the application package from command line as root solves the issue.

Yes there are legit uses for a "Run As" function in OS X
For example....If you're a non-admin user and you want to be able to view system logs in the Console app, or run disk utility without having to type in your password a bazillion times.
There's a lot of good reasons not to have the main account you use not have admin rights. But that's another debate.
In any case I found this forum while searching for"Run As" for the mac and haven't seemed to find anything out there, so I went ahead and wrote it myself.
It can be downladed here: here
Cheers!

OS X will automatically prompt the user for the user name & password of a user who has privileges when the current user does not, which is a much better user experience than the "run as" MS feature.

I know how to be safe with files.
I don't see anyone mentioning disk utility so not sure what you're talking about. Most people probably can't identify, as they generally run as Admin. For people like myself though, that run as standard accounts, the utility of this functionality is more apparent. It's rare for me to need something like Run As, and when I do, it's partly because of apps that are not written as well as they could be, like Onyx.

It's right there in the message you referred me to: "If you're a non-admin user and you want to be able to view system logs in the Console app, or run disk utility without having to type in your password a bazillion times."
I also log in daily as a regular user and recommend to others to do the same.
Whenever higher priv's are needed, OS X prompts me for Admin priv's, which works brilliantly and overall is better than "run as".

Furthermore, btw, I just opened the appfirewall.log from my regular user account without using the CLI. Normally I am a fairly heavy CLI user but just to prove it's possible completely in the GUI:
1. open Console
2. go to any log you do not have permission to read (grey colored text)
3. drag/drop the log file onto TextWrangler icon (in Dock)
OS X then prompts for an Admin password & if you have it, you'll be reading the log :D

Ah, I see it now, I was looking prior to that post. In fairness to that post, it was talking about entering the user name/password a bazillion times, not running disk utility a bazillion times.
OSX doesn't always prompt though. Try opening Console as a standard user and view the system.log file or the firewall logs. They are grayed out without an option to authenticate and no prompt ever comes up. Also, as I hinted before, Onyx cannot be run as a standard user. It only asks for the admin password, but not the user name, so again another example of things not working so "brilliantly."

Why Dental Implants Are the Preferred Tooth Replacement Option
Dental Implants Las Vegas are the preferred replacement for missing teeth. They look and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat and speak normally. They also prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap and causing bite problems.
Dental Implants
They are usually made of titanium, a metal that is compatible with the human body. They have a post, or abutment, and a crown.
Dental implants mimic the look of natural teeth, making them indistinguishable from the adjacent teeth. These restorations help preserve bone structure and prevent the loss of the remaining teeth, which can cause other health problems. Additionally, they give patients the ability to chew and speak normally. This is a great improvement in their quality of life and increases their self-esteem. This is why dental implants are the preferred tooth replacement option.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants don’t require removal and can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. However, many people are concerned that their new implant will stand out from their surrounding teeth and look artificial. This concern is understandable, but there’s no reason to be self-conscious about your smile when you have dental implants.
A skilled dental professional will take several factors into account when designing your implant, including its size and shape. They will also consider the color of your surrounding teeth to ensure that the implant blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile. In addition, the implant will appear in different shades of light depending on where you are, helping it to blend in with natural teeth.
The implant fixture, which is placed in the jawbone to anchor the prosthetic tooth, is made from biocompatible titanium to ensure stability and longevity. The abutment, which connects the fixture to the crown of the tooth, is also made from titanium. The crown of the tooth is made from porcelain, which resembles the color and appearance of natural teeth. When brushed and flossed properly, an implant will be virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.
When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, no other restoration looks or feels as natural as dental implants. They look like your natural teeth and blend in with the surrounding teeth, giving you a full smile and confidence to speak and smile again. In addition, they are more durable than other tooth replacement options and won’t decay or damage your neighboring teeth.
One of the most important aspects of an implant is its ability to protect healthy bone. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone deteriorates because it is no longer stimulated by the root of your natural tooth. Fortunately, dental implants are the only replacement option that actually preserves and stimulates healthy bone growth.
They help prevent bone loss
Dental implants are a great way to prevent bone loss and maintain a healthy jaw and oral health. The implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, and it stimulates new bone growth in the jaw. This is important to prevent bone deterioration, which can cause changes in the shape of your face and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems.
Dental implants use titanium screws that are secured into the jaw bone, and they fuse with it over time. This creates a strong anchor that can hold an artificial tooth or bridge. It’s important to have adequate bone mass to support the implant, and a dentist will check your bone density with X-rays. If the bone is too soft or thin, a doctor may recommend a bone graft.
A bone graft involves taking bone from another part of your body to strengthen the area where the implant will be placed. The bone can be taken from the chin, hip or shinbone, and it will be surgically inserted into the jaw. The grafted bone will gradually fuse with the existing bone, and the implant will be stable.
Several factors can affect the success of an implant, including annual marginal bone loss. Measuring marginal bone loss on radiographs can be difficult, because of variations in exposure geometry and observer perception. Even the best methods have a precision of 0.2 mm or less, which means that the rate of bone loss is often misinterpreted and underestimated.
In the past, patients with insufficient bone density were not eligible for dental implants, but new technology has made it possible for them to receive an implant. A bone graft can be used to strengthen the jaw bone, and a connecting piece called an abutment can also be placed. Typically, the implant will be made from titanium, which is biocompatible and durable.
Patients with certain chronic illnesses or who smoke are not suitable for dental implants, as these conditions interfere with healing after surgery. Your dentist will evaluate your medical history and take X-rays of your teeth to determine whether you are a candidate for dental implants.
They can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth
Dental implants are a permanent way to replace missing teeth. They are a solution for patients who have lost one or more of their natural teeth, and they look and function much like their own natural teeth. They can help prevent bone loss and improve your quality of life by restoring the ability to smile, eat and speak with ease. They also protect the remaining healthy teeth from a domino effect of major dental health issues, such as shifting and bone loss.
A tooth implant consists of a titanium post, which is placed into the jawbone to serve as the new “root”, and a crown, which fits on top of the implant. The implant is surgically placed and allowed to heal. During this time, you may wear dentures or a temporary crown to fill in the space until the implant is fully healed. The implant procedure typically takes between two and six months.
Your doctor will determine whether you are a good candidate for an implant by taking X-rays of your upper and lower jaws to assess the amount of bone. If the jawbone is too thin, a bone graft may be necessary before placing an implant.
The implant must fuse to the bone to be considered a success, a process called osseointegration. This is accomplished by making a small incision in the gum tissue and lifting it to expose the bone. The area is then drilled to create and enlarge a site for the implant, which can be done with an in-office surgical procedure or a computer-guided system.
Once the implant is healed, an abutment, which connects the crown to the implant, is screwed on. Some implant systems, such as mini-implants, do not require this step, and the dentist may place a temporary crown while waiting for the abutment to heal.
After the abutment is securely attached, the dentist will complete the restoration by placing the crown on the implant. The final prosthesis will be a single tooth, a bridge, or a full mouth denture that replicates the patient’s natural teeth.
They can be used to support a bridge
If you’re missing a tooth or have severely damaged teeth, you may want to consider replacing them with a dental bridge. This treatment is effective for restoring the appearance of your smile and your self-confidence, but it can also improve your dental health. If you’re considering getting a bridge, there are several factors to consider. First, you’ll need to determine if you have enough healthy teeth to support the bridge. During the initial consultation, your oral surgeon will take X-rays and/or CT scans to get a clear picture of your bone structure. They’ll use these images to create a model of your jaw so they can find the best anchor points for your new replacement teeth.
A traditional bridge uses anchor crowns that fit over the adjacent teeth on either side of your gap. This puts stress on the supporting teeth, making them prone to damage and decay. Additionally, they’ll need to be shaved down to make room for the crowns, which can weaken them and reduce their lifespan. An implant-supported bridge, on the other hand, doesn’t require modifying any surrounding teeth. Its strength comes from the implant itself, which acts as an artificial root.
Dental implants are also more durable than bridges and tend to feel more natural. However, because they’re anchored in your jawbone, they can sometimes feel more like removable dentures than real teeth. Additionally, over time they can lose their aesthetic appeal, especially if the gum tissue recedes around them.
Finally, dental implants aren’t covered by all dental insurance plans. This can be a significant obstacle for many patients. In addition, the treatment can be costly and lengthy. For these reasons, it’s important to discuss your options with your dentist and oral surgeon before deciding on a treatment plan.
Despite these drawbacks, dental implants are still considered the most beneficial option for replacing missing teeth. If you have any concerns about your dental implants, we encourage you to file a voluntary report through MedWatch. This program helps the FDA identify and better understand the risks associated with medical products. It’s also an excellent way to help other patients and their families stay safe from similar problems. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit RAAF
* Nominator(s): Ian Rose (talk) 12:01, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
The RAAF's fighter conversion unit, which originated in World War II, disbanded in 1947, and was revived in the middle of the Korean War, when the Air Force realised there was a significant gap in its training program. Since then it's converted pilots to all of Australia's front-line fighters -- Sabre, Mirage, and F/A-18 Hornet. This is by no means my first article on an RAAF unit, but the first I've felt was FA material in all departments. Thanks to Dank for reviewing at GAN, Nick-D for some additional info and images, everyone who commented at the article's recent MilHist A-Class Review, and of course -- in advance -- all reviewers here!

Support I've added some material to this article over the last few months, but don't think that this is sufficient to prevent me reviewing the article. I've just read through it, and think that the FA criteria are met. My only comment is that the sentence "Jeffrey had recently established two of the first three fighter units that the RAAF had brought on line to help defend Australia's north as the Japanese advanced towards New Guinea, Nos. 75 and 76 Squadrons" is a bit convoluted - could this be trimmed?

Managing encryption of Git passwords in LDAP for Talend Administration Center
If you are using LDAP authentication in Talend Administration Center, you may want to encrypt the Git password that is stored in it. Once you have encrypted your password, you need to compile a Java class that will allow you to manage password decryption in Talend Administration Center.
Before you begin
• You have previously encrypted your password using the library of your choice. This library will be used both to encrypt and decrypt your password.
• The Tomcat server holding Talend Administration Center is stopped.
Procedure
1. Create a class file named DecryptLdapPassword.java based on the following code:
import org.talend.administrator.common.crypto.LDAPCrypto;
/**
*
*/
public class DecryptLdapPassword implements LDAPCrypto {
@Override
public String decrypt(String encryptedPassword) throws Exception {
String decryptedPassword = null;
//
// instructions to decrypt password
//
return decryptedPassword;
}
}
2. If you are using an IDE:
1. Add the <TalendAdministrationCenterPath>/WEB-INF/classes folder of your Talend Administration Center application to the classpath of your project.
2. Add your algorithm library to the classpath.
3. Insert required instructions to decrypt the Git password stored in LDAP.
If you are not using an IDE:
1. Execute the following command to compile the JAR used for your decryption library as well as the Java class in the directory of your choice:
On UNIX systems:
cd <directoryOfMyJavaClass_DecryptLdapPassword>
javac -classpath .:/org.talend.administrator-6.0.1-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/classes/:<myDirectory>/encryptionAlgorithm.jar DecryptLdapPassword.java
On Windows systems:
cd directoryOfMyJavaClass_DecryptLdapPassword
javac -classpath .;c:\org.talend.administrator-6.0.1-SNAPSHOT\WEB-INF\classes\;c:\my\directory\encryptionAlgorithm.jar DecryptLdapPassword.java
3. Get the compiled class DecryptLdapPassword.class and copy it to the following directory: <TalendAdministrationCenterPath>/WEB-INF/classes
4. Open the file <TalendAdministrationCenterPath>/WEB-INF/classes/configuration.properties, uncomment the ldap.decryption.class= line and enter the class you have compiled as value of the property.
5. Copy the JAR file used for the encryption algorithm in the following folder: <TalendAdministrationCenterPath>/WEB-INF/lib
6. Restart the Tomcat server.

Gas turbine flowmeter and screwing vortex flowmeter measurement difference
Keywords: gas turbine flowmeter, Tianxin gas turbine flowmeter, gas gas turbine flowmeter
First, the characteristics of gas turbine flowmeter and spiral vortex flowmeter
Gas turbine flowmeter and screwing vortex flowmeter are the main gas metering instruments in China. In foreign countries, almost no one uses gas to swirl into the vortex flow meter. At present, there are certain applications in the domestic vortex flowmeter. In terms of standard conditions. The international standard ISO9551 promulgated by the International Organization for Standardization and the international recommendations R6, R32 promulgated by the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) have corresponding national standards and regulations in China and developed countries. The above documents guarantee the authority of gas turbine flowmeters in gas metering. Sex. Gas-introducing vortex flowmeters have not yet established relevant standards. It is difficult to guarantee the authority of the flow meter in gas metering. At present, in domestic flow meters for gas measurement, gas turbine flowmeters dominate, and the vortex flowmeters also have a certain market. The use of the two is similar, and users often have doubts about the choice of the two.

Second, the compressed air vortex flowmeter installation steps
1. The special flanges to be equipped are welded to the upstream and downstream straight pipe sections respectively, so that the inner diameters of the special flange and the straight pipe section are strictly vertical and concentric.
2. Install the sensor clip on the upper and lower straight pipe sections welded with special flanges and fasten them with bolts. The upstream and downstream straight sections should be kept concentric with the sensor.
3. It should be noted that the flow direction of the sensor should be consistent with the flow direction of the fluid in the pipeline.
Third, special attention should be paid when installing compressed air vortex flowmeter
1. When welding special flanges and straight pipe sections, the sensor should be removed and the sensor welding flange must not be carried.
2. Before the sensor is installed, the sealing ring must be placed in the groove of the flange.
3. The pressure point and temperature measurement point should be at the 3DN~5DN and 6N~8DN downstream of the sensor.
4. When the high temperature pipeline is insulated, do not wrap the sensor to avoid damage.
5. The cable connecting the vortex flowmeter should be as far away as possible from the interference of strong electromagnetic fields. It is absolutely not allowed to lay with high voltage cables. The shielded cable should be as short as possible, the maximum length should not exceed 500 meters, and should not be coiled to reduce the distributed inductance. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Bangkok bombing: Thailand believes international terrorism is unlikely | Thailand | The Guardian
Government suggests as many as 10 people were involved in atrocity as it calls in Interpol and Australian police to aid investigation First published on Thu 20 Aug 2015 01.16 EDT Thailand has said international terror groups were unlikely to be behind the Bangkok shrine bombing as it appealed for Interpol's help in finding the man accused of being the prime suspect. The widening of the inquiry on Thursday – also appealing to passengers of international airlines to come forward with evidence – came as national police chief Somyot Poompanmoung said the bombing may have involved a network of people, suggesting as many as 10 people could have played a part. Three days after the attack police have not announced the arrests of any suspects and authorities have released confusing and contradictory information about their investigation. A warrant issued for the main suspect on Wednesday described him as an unnamed foreigner, but police have not said how they reached that conclusion. A spokesman for the ruling junta insisted on Thursday, however, that the bomb attack was unlikely to be the work of an international terrorist group, saying it was not specifically targeted at Chinese tourists. Security agencies have cooperated with agencies from allied countries and have come to the preliminary conclusion that the incident is unlikely to be linked to international terrorism, said Col Winthai Suvaree, a spokesman for the junta, known as the National Council for Peace and Order. Thai authorities had at first been reluctant to seek help in the investigation into the blast, which hit a busy shrine on Monday evening, killing 20 people and wounding dozens of others. We will seek help from Interpol today, Maj Gen Apichart Suriboonya, the head of Thailand's Interpol unit, said. Staff on a British Airways flight from Singapore to Sydney on Thursday appealed to passengers who had visited the Erawan shrine, a major tourist attraction in the heart of the Thai capital, to come forward. They said those who took photos at the site in the days before the attack should contact Australian federal police. The main evidence so far in the case appears to be grainy CCTV footage of a man in a yellow T-shirt dropping a black backpack at the shrine minutes before the detonation. Authorities on Wednesday released an electronic sketch of a thin man with dark, shaggy hair and a light complexion, wearing black-rimmed glasses but later said he may have been wearing a disguise. Two other men seen in the security camera footage are also being treated as suspects by police. Police chief Somyot said on Thursday that there must have been at least 10 people involved. He told reporters: It is a big network. There was preparation using many people. This includes those who looked out on the streets, prepared the bomb and those at the site and … those who knew the escape route. Observers have criticised the way the blast scene was contaminated in the hours after the attack, as journalists and passersby walked into the area where glass and chunks of human flesh still lay on the road. Less than 24 hours after the attack, authorities had cleaned the area and paved over the small bomb crater. The prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former general, said on Wednesday that Thailand was not seeking outside help. This incident happened in Thailand. It is Thailand. Why do we want other people to come in and investigate? As the attack has no precedent in the country, police and observers have struggled to suggest a motive. On Tuesday, Thailand's army chief said the attack did not bear the hallmarks of Muslim separatists in the south who have been waging an insurgency for years. Violence has been used by Thai political groups, but a large-scale bombing is unheard of. Somyot suggested authorities were also looking at ethnic Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking Muslim minority from China's western Xinjiang region, many of whom have fled to south-east Asia. Thailand forcibly returned 109 Uighurs to China in July, angering the community and causing an outcry from human rights groups and the UN, which said they could face persecution and abuse. Police are not ruling out anything including [Thai] politics and the conflict of ethnic Uighurs who, before this, Thailand sent back to China, Somyot said. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

United States Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs
The United States Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs was a select committee of the United States Senate between 1968 and 1977. It was sometimes referred to as the McGovern committee, after its only chairman, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota.
Formation and members
The impetus for formation of the committee was a rising concern about hunger and malnutrition in the United States. It had been brought to public attention by the 1967 field trip of Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Joseph S. Clark to see emaciated children in Cleveland, Mississippi, by the 1967 broadcast of the CBS News special Hunger in America, and by the 1968 publication of Citizens Crusade Against Poverty's report Hunger USA. The last of which showed that diseases such as kwashiorkor and marasmus – thought only to exist in underdeveloped countries – were present in America.
Existing Senate and House committees were uninterested in pursuing the issue, with House Agriculture Committee chairman William R. Poage saying "The basic problem is one of ignorance as to what constitutes a balanced diet, coupled with indifference by a great many persons who should and probably do not know," and Senate Agriculture Committee chairman Allen Ellender saying "I know that in my state we had a number of fishermen who were unable to catch fish. Do you expect the government, because they cannot catch fish, to feed them until the fish are there?" Political activist Robert B. Choate, Jr. first came up with the idea of forming a joint congressional committee to probe the hunger problem. McGovern, who had been involved in food-related issues throughout his congressional career and who had been Director of Food for Peace in the Kennedy administration during the early 1960s, thought that confining the committee to just the more liberal Senate would produce better chances for action. McGovern gathered 38 co-sponsors for the committee's creation, a resolution quickly passed the Senate, and McGovern was named the committee's chairman in July 1968. However, the Senate Rules Committee gave essentially no funding to it that year, so it was inactive; in February 1969, McGovern successfully battled the Rules Committee to restore the normally allocated funding and the select committee's operations began.
Membership of the committee during 1969 and 1970 consisted of eight Democrats and five Republicans, and were:
* George McGovern of South Dakota, chairman
* Allen Ellender of Louisiana
* Herman Talmadge of Georgia
* Ralph Yarborough of Texas
* Philip Hart of Michigan
* Walter Mondale of Minnesota
* Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts
* Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island
* Jacob Javits of New York
* Charles Percy of Illinois
* Peter H. Dominick of Colorado
* Marlow Cook of Kentucky
* Robert Dole of Kansas
Later members of the committee included Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Edward Zorinsky of Nebraska, Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania, Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma, Alan Cranston of California, and Mark Hatfield of Oregon.
Hearings, investigations, and actions
The committee's initial goal was to study the problem of hunger and recommend a multi-faceted federal response.
Following the Kennedy-Clark path, McGovern sought to dramatize the problem with an onsite visit and so took the committee to Immokalee, Florida, the base for 20,000 mostly black or Hispanic migrant farm workers. They saw graphic examples of hunger and malnutrition firsthand, but also encountered resistance and complaints about bad publicity from local and state officials. Moreover, local officials were suspected of blocking existing assistance to workers, on the grounds the migrants were "federal people, not Immokalee people." Outside the special committee, McGovern battled the Nixon administration and southerners in Congress during much the next year over an expanded food stamp program; he had to compromise on a number of points, but the legislation signed in 1970 established the principles of free food stamps and a nationwide standard for eligibility. Federal commodity assistance came to Immokalee as well.
The committee worked with others in organizing a White House conference on the issue, which led to the White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health in 1969.
In 1971, McGovern expanded the focus of the committee to look at environmental conditions that affected eating habits. He toured the abandoned, destroyed neighborhoods of The Bronx, New York, and issued a report highly critical of the Federal Housing Administration for failed urban renewal efforts. Further committee involvement by McGovern faded for a while as he became caught up in his opposition to the US involvement in the Vietnam War and in his 1972 U.S. presidential campaign.
Throughout, the select committee held hearings in which it heard from academics, non-governmental organizations, educators, health and nutrition experts, school officials, the medical community, and the public. The committee's work filled many volumes of hearing reports. Staff members on the committee included lawyer Jack Quinn, future diplomat Julia Chang Bloch, and nutritionist D. Mark Hegsted.
Beginning in 1974, McGovern expanded the committee's scope to include national nutrition policy. Now, the committee's focus was not just on not eating enough, but also eating too much.
In January 1977, after having held hearings on the national diet, the McGovern committee issued a new set of nutritional guidelines for Americans that sought to combat leading killer conditions such as heart disease, certain cancers, stroke, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis. Titled Dietary Goals for the United States, but also known as the "McGovern Report", they suggested that Americans eat less fat, less cholesterol, less refined and processed sugars, and more complex carbohydrates and fiber. (Indeed, it was the McGovern report that first used the term complex carbohydrate, denoting "fruit, vegetables and whole-grains". ) The recommended way of accomplishing this was to eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and less high-fat meat, egg, and dairy products. While many public health officials had said all of this for some time, the committee's issuance of the guidelines gave it higher public profile.
The committee's "eat less" recommendations triggered strong negative reactions from the cattle, dairy, egg, and sugar industries, including from McGovern's home state. The American Medical Association protested as well, reflecting its long-espoused belief that people should see their doctor for individual advice rather than follow guidance for the public as a whole. Some scientists also thought the committee's conclusions needed further expert review. Others felt that the job of promulgating recommendations belonged to the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council. Under heavy pressure, the committee held further hearings, and issued a revised set of guidelines in late 1977 which adjusted some of the advice regarding salt and cholesterol and watered down the wording regarding meat consumption.
End
The committee had won annual extensions each year, despite some institutional opposition, especially from southern Democrats. During 1977, however, there was a large-scale effort to reform the Senate's overall committee system, which was seen as unwieldy, especially in having some 34 special, select, or joint committees. Intense politicking took place as to which select or special committees would survive, and McGovern and Dole fought hard to preserve the Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs.
They were unsuccessful, and at the close of 1977 the committee was subsumed as the Subcommittee on Nutrition within the newly retitled United States Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. In reaction, Percy said "I do not know of another committee which ... had to lay bare its whole soul and have an accountability to the whole Senate, as we have had year after year after year. Senator Edward Brooke said that the select committee had simply lacked external clout because its constituency was poor and not organized, and called its ending "a sad commentary upon the Senate".
Results and legacy
The McGovern committee suffered the usual institutional limitations of select committees, in that they could highlight problems but could not report legislation to the floor. Instead, its members had to support legislation being worked on elsewhere, or find a regular standing committee that would introduce legislation on their behalf. Nevertheless, the committee often overcame these restrictions, and it greatly highlighted the dimensions of the nation's problem with hunger, and its work led to major changes and additions into how federal food assistance programs worked. Towards the end of the committee's lifetime, it had become effectively institutionalized as the key congressional agent in the hunger, food assistance, and nutrition areas.
The committee's work in raising the national understanding of the link between nutrition and chronic disease led to several amendments being passed to the existing National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act.
The McGovern committee guidelines led to reorganization of some federal executive functions to support the related aims and became the predecessor to the more detailed Dietary Guidelines for Americans later issued twice a decade by the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion.
Two nutrition authors wrote in 2008 that "Perhaps as much as any single force, the bipartisan Select Committee brought credibility to the hunger and nutrition issues ..." Their conclusion is echoed by three nutrition authors writing in 1986, who said: More than anything else, it was probably the McGovern committee that sparked the change in public thinking about the American diet. For although it set out to investigate the causes of hunger in the United States, the committee quickly found that malnutrition in this country covers not diseases of deficiency, but also diseases of excess. | WIKI |

Din Guardi
Din Guardi has appeared in at least two articles I know of (this one included) without proper references. I'm from the area and I have never heard of Bamburgh having ever been called "Din Guardi". Most of the locals won't know that either. I've never seen it on any of the small info signs around the castle, either. Although I haven't been to the castle since November ('07).
Therefore, I would ask that Din Guardi have references cited for it for it, or be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Map
I recommend the removal of the large intrusive map which contains hardly any information, and if clicked, shows even less, not more. The map constitutes what should be a simple link, i.e. by clicking the co-ordinates, the reader can bring up a dozen maps, all far better than that one. Moreover the map, eing large and undetailed, simply takes up right-side space that is the best place for photos. Amandajm (talk) 02:57, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
* I think maps of this sort can be useful when they're not taking up space that could be better used as I don't know if most readers are aware that clicking on the co-ordinates in the top right hand corner would take them to Google maps et al. That said, I agree that in this article the map isn't particularly helpful so have removed it. It doesn't help that the map is taller than it is long (no way round that), and the problem is compounded by the article being so short. The article on Warkworth Castle uses the same map, do you think it's a problem there too? Nev1 (talk) 18:11, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Old spelling in plan caption
Why do we say, uncommented, that it is a "Plan of Bamborough Castle in 1825"? Surely it is equally a "Plan of Bamburgh Castle in 1825"? Or are we trying to make a particular point about this name and that date? If so, we're failing - it is contextless. I'd like to suggest that we either modernise the spelling, or explain why we're using the old one. Please don't just quote faithfulness to the source back at me. I understand that, but it is not my point. Thanks DBaK (talk) 09:32, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
* In the absence of any other view on this, I've removed that spelling. DBaK (talk) 19:15, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
When did Sir John Forster acquire the castle?
This source states that it was after the Dissolution, in 1541; this is not mentioned in the Wiki article.
It was the time of Henry VIII’s infamous Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536-7). The Abstract of the Title to Bamburgh Castle at Woodhorn Archive confirms that in April 1541 ”A Lease by Indenture from King |Henry VIII to John Forster of Etherstone of the scite of the late cell of Bamburgh and other Herediments therein” mentioned for 21 years at a rent of 37 pounds 10 shillings and 4 pence. https://bamburghbones.org/skulldugerous-knight-sir-john-forster/
Another source confirms Forster's acquisition:
16th century With the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII Bamburgh church and its lands were sold to Sir John Forster and thereafter was neglected. http://www.staidan-bamburgh.co.uk/history_heritage.html

Sting May Be Reuniting With The Police | Fox News
By Roger Friedman Sting | Vultures Descend on Warhol Movie | Borat's Sidekick; Supreme Meeting Sting May Be Reuniting With The Police It's looking more certain than ever that Sting is about to reunite with his original band, The Police. The signs are strong, with enough clues available so that even Colonel Mustard could figure it out. Here's one: Yesterday, former Policemen Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland were guests, with their families, at a Malibu birthday party for Sting's better half, Trudie Styler. Their appearance caused quite a stir. And on Thursday night at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Sting dedicated a lute version of Message in a Bottle to the pair of former comrades who happened to be seated in the auditorium. Further investigation: Although Sting and his camp remain mum on the subject, sources do tell me that the Police will reunite this summer to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Such a tour makes sense for everyone, since a reunited Police would probably mean sold-out stadiums and arenas around the world. An announcement could come at any time. And think of it: With U2 and the Rolling Stones having exhausted their audiences by now, the Police would have a clear shot this summer for record-breaking box-office numbers. The Police only recorded five albums before breaking up in 1982, but their greatest hits remain radio staples a quarter century later. Since then, Sting has gone on to have an unparalleled hit solo career, while Summers and Copeland have concentrated on jazz and soundtrack composing. Still, the group's songs are widely known even to a new generation. Every Breath You Take, Roxanne and Don't Stand So Close to Me are known to many different age groups. If the Police do reunite and there's every reason to think they will the impetus may have come from a documentary Copeland showed last year at the Sundance Film Festival called Everyone Stares. Icy relations among the three thawed when Sting attended a screening of the film. Since then, Sting released his classical album, Songs From the Labyrinth, which held the top spot on Billboard's classical chart for 12 weeks. Insiders say that Sting's former reluctance to rejoin his mates is gone now that he's accomplished pretty much everything he could in his solo career, at least for the moment. Meanwhile, the birthday party for Styler, a low-key event held at their home not too far from last week's devastating Malibu fires, attracted the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Courtney Love and Larry Hagman, who owned the house before the rock-royalty couple. Love is said to be looking very well and ready to sell her new album, recorded with producer Linda Perry, to one of four labels vying to bring her back to the top of the charts. Vultures Descend on Warhol Movie It didn't take long: Two members of Andy Warhol's famous entourage who consulted on the movie Factory Girl tried to sell out star Sienna Miller yesterday in the British press. Richard and Robert DuPont, a pair of 47-year-old twins who've never moved beyond their heyday as Warhol superstars, told a U.K. newspaper that Miller tried to live like her character Edie Sedgwick, using drugs and not eating, and sleeping until all hours. The DuPonts, by the way, are not related to the famous and wealthy Delaware family of the same name. But they were able to capture Warhol's attention in the 1960s because the notoriously shallow artist loved friendships with scions. The more money, the better. But Factory Girl producer Holly Wiersma, who nurtured the movie from embryonic idea, assures me that Miller an easy target thanks to her roller-coaster tabloid romance with Jude Law was nothing but professional during the making of the movie and since then. The DuPonts' story, she says, is like dried glue and won't stick. They've waited 20 years since Warhol's death to see their names in print again. Miller is no Lindsay Lohan, however, which is what the DuPonts want to make her. From the beginning, Factory Girl was her project not bad for a 25-year-old! It would be pretty hard to be starving yourself and doing drugs and also making a movie. On the other Miller who's half Brit, half American and spends most of her time in the U.K. also has a cheeky sense of humor. She can come across in person as ethereal too. And Factory Girl has been a wearying project, with lots of re-shoots and restructuring to get the difficult tone and structure of George Hickenlooper's docu-style feature right. Give the girl a break. Borat's Sidekick; Supreme Meeting Ken Davitian, who plays hilarious sidekick Azamat in Borat, is a real person. He turned up on Saturday night in Los Angeles at Jason Binn's swanky soiree for Los Angeles Confidential at the W Hotel. Davitian was only too happy to take pictures with dozens upon dozens of fans who couldn't believe their eyes. But if Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen wins anything tonight at the Golden Globes, Davitian will have to watch it from a closed circuit TV. I wasn't invited, he said. He also worked for very little money as an unknown actor, and hasn't gotten any kind of bonus check from the Borat producers since the movie turned into a money-making phenomenon. My guess is that before the DVD is launched in March, Davitian will get some kind of check for his substantial contribution to the movie's success. Still, it's hard to get respect when you come from an unusual background. When we found him, a Borat insider told me, he was running a hot dog stand in the Valley. Here's a scene that could from the Dreamgirls sequel: Last night, in front of The Four Seasons Hotel, after the BAFTA/LA tea party, once and forever Supreme Mary Wilson her story partly influenced Dreamgirls got a surprise. Waiting for her car to arrive, Wilson was introduced to Diana Ross' 18-year-old son Evan, whose father was the late Norwegian shipping magnate Arne Naess Jr. Wilson who once toured the world with Ross and slept in the back of station wagons had never laid eyes on her former partner's late-in-life son and was a little overcome. If only young Evan could talk some sense into his mother and stop her from shopping in Ralph's looking like a bag lady. … And here's more from the BAFTA/LA tea: Penelope Cruz arrived toward the end in a beautiful pink suit, looking, well, hot. I have to get home soon, she said. My father is arriving from Spain. He will be her date tonight. ... Helen Mirren told me that her never-ending supply of knockout outfits gowns, dresses, suits, etc. are not all stuffed into her room. There's a very nice woman who keeps it all straight and keeps bringing it to me. That's a relief. … Ioan Gruffudd, the dashing star of The Fantastic Four, is engaged to beautiful blond English actress Alice Evans. The pair, always a welcome sight, are planning a fall wedding. … And Forest Whitaker took a picture with his doppelganger, U.K. Daily Mail gossip columnist extraordinaire Baz Bamigboye. The two are frequently confused. Several people have congratulated me for 'The Last King of Scotland,' Bamigboye joked. ...

The ‘Booksmart’ Conundrum: Are Women Not Allowed to Fail?
Poor box office the first weekend led to controversy over the Olivia Wilde-directed comedy. But as it heads into Week 2, is it being held to an unfair standard? Last weekend, Olivia Wilde took to Twitter with a plea. Her directorial debut, “Booksmart,” a coming-of-age critics’ darling about two teenage girls determined to get their party on, was stumbling at the box office while audiences flocked to Disney’s live-action “Aladdin.” “Booksmart” seemed to have the ingredients for success: festival buzz, a sky-high Rotten Tomatoes rating, and loads of raunchy sex gags that were made, for once, by young women — about themselves. But as it became clear that the comedy, from Annapurna Films, was falling short at the box office (it wound up taking in just $8.7 million over the weekend despite a wide release on 2,500 screens), Wilde tried to gin up ticket buyers with a tweet, writing, in part, “Don’t give studios an excuse not to green-light movies made by and about women.” She ended up setting off a 48-hour Twitter controversy that went in an altogether different direction. A Vanity Fair writer tweeted that the fact that filmgoers were choosing the Guy Ritchie-directed “Aladdin” over “Booksmart” pained her deeply. Detractors replied that pitting “Booksmart” against a Disney movie with people of color in lead roles was problematic and unfair. By Tuesday, criticism abounded about the distributor’s decision to open an R-rated film with no big names and a first-time director against a Disney juggernaut on a holiday weekend. But Wilde’s message revealed an all-too-real fear shared by female directors, and it’s worth asking, as the film heads into its crucial second weekend: In 2019, are women still not allowed to fail? “The reality is the number of women directing the top movies is still low,” said Kirsten Schaffer, executive director of the advocacy group Women in Film. “Until that number is higher, I think individual women are judged more harshly.” Despite pushes for more gender balance in Hollywood, the number of films by and about women has stagnated in recent years. Women made up fewer than a third of protagonists and directed fewer than 4 percent of the top films in 2018. Out of dozens of films the major studios are releasing through the end of the year, a fraction have female directors. Women also face far bigger hurdles in making follow-up films. Before the 2017 blockbuster “Wonder Woman,” Patti Jenkins’s last feature was the 2003 “Monster.” Still, there are signs of a shift. The number of studio films directed by women and scheduled for release in 2019 may be low — according to The Wrap, 18 percent of movies from the six top studios this year have a female director — but it is nonetheless a record. And, in a break from the past, several women have recently gone from directing independent films to big-budget features in a few short years. After directing the 2015 “Diary of a Teenage Girl,” Marielle Heller was hired to make last year’s “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” with Melissa McCarthy, and the coming “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” starring Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers. Anna Boden, with Ryan Fleck, was asked to direct this year’s megahit “Captain Marvel,” in 2017, two years after the release of their “Mississippi Grind.” Chloé Zhao has gone from the beloved 2018 indie “The Rider,” to Marvel’s forthcoming “The Eternals,” the kind of dizzying career trajectory usually only enjoyed by men. All those filmmakers shared a few things in common with Wilde. The films that put them on the map were critical darlings that enjoyed Rotten Tomatoes approval ratings in the 90s. They also barely registered at the box office. “Diary” made just $1.4 million. “Mississippi Grind” tanked with $130,000, despite starring Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn. The best performer of the three was “The Rider,” which made $2.4 million. Jeff Bock, a senior box office analyst at Exhibitor Relations, a box office tracking company, predicted that “Booksmart’s” results notwithstanding, the adulation of the film will have given Wilde “the golden ticket.” “This is exactly the kind of movie that makes your career,” Bock said. “All the right people are loving it. Critics are loving it. Studio executives are loving it. This is the kind of film they want in their catalog.” He would not be surprised, he added, if Wilde was asked to direct a Disney or Marvel film. It is also early to deem “Booksmart” a flop. Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for the box office tracker Comscore, said second-weekend ticket sales could provide a turnaround. He also noted that the film “Brightburn,” which had a male director and starred Elizabeth Banks, also opened to tepid box office without generating a fuss. Indeed, “Booksmart’s” performance might not have drawn so much attention if Wilde — whose representatives did not respond to a request for comment — had not taken her disappointment to Twitter in the first place. Then again, other celebrities followed Wilde’s lead, among them Ryan Reynolds, Mindy Kaling and Taylor Swift, urging followers on Twitter and Instagram to see the film. By midweek, the film was over-performing in the market, according to Erik Lomis of United Artist Releasing, which distributes Annapurna Films. Lomis said they wanted to get the movie out before high school graduation season, and release it wide to reach as many viewers as possible. “We love the movie, we have a lot of faith in the movie,” he said. “And I think it’s premature to call it when it’s just getting started.” All of which may or may not allay Wilde’s fears about failing while female and getting a second shake. (She did acknowledge on Twitter that getting such a wide release was a privilege.) Schaffer, the Women in Film executive, said, “I want to believe we’re not in that moment anymore, but I think we still are.” An earlier version of this article misstated the relationship status of the directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. They are filmmaking partners; they are not married. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
‘Ready Player One’: Can Spielberg’s New Movie Boost Virtual Reality Sales?
5 COMMENTS Steven Spielberg’s latest film, “Ready Player One,” is set in 2045, a dystopian future in which most of humanity escapes real life in the OASIS (Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation)—a virtual reality environment offering activities for work, education and entertainment.
The film is based on the novel by Ernest Cline. Speaking alongside Mr. Spielberg at Comic Con, San Diego in 2017, Mr. Cline said the film could change the speed with which virtual reality is adopted by exposing a much wider audience to the technology.
Since the rollout of consumer VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR in 2016, pick-up has been slower than predicted.
“I think through a movie like this, through showing off the possibilities of VR, I think there’s going to be a lot of people who now have an interest in trying it out,” says JB McRee, a marketing manager for HTC’s Vive headset. (The HTC Vive is the official VR partner for the movie.)
“A lot of it comes down to the quality of the film,” IHS Markit’s lead VR analyst Piers Harding-Rolls says. “If it starts to snowball into something that becomes more of a cultural classic and something people have strong word of mouth about, then it starts to have a significant impact potentially.”
Check out the video above for a deeper look at how Hollywood’s representation of VR may affect real life. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Rh its cage. If the body be but a vesture clothing the soul, as the Buddist asserts, it is not improbable that it may occasionally change its vesture.
This is self-evident, and thus have arisen the countless tales of transformation and transmigration which are found all over the world. That the same view of the body as a mere clothing of the soul was taken by our Teutonic and Scandinavian ancestors, is evident even from the etymology of the words leichnam, lîkhama, used to express the soulless body.
I have already spoken of the Norse word hamr, I wish now to make some further remarks upon it. Hamr is represented in Anglo-Saxon by hama, homa, in Saxon by hamo, in old High German by hamo, in old French by homa, hama, to which are related the Gothic gahamon, ufar-hamon, ana-hamon,, ; and-hamon, af-hamon, , thence also the old High German hemidi, and the modern Hemde, garment. In composition we find this word, as lîk-hamr, in old Norse; in old High German lîk-hamo, Anglo-Saxon lîk-hama, and flæsc-hama, Old Saxon, lîk-hamo, modern German Leich-nam, a body, i.e. a garment of flesh, precisely as the bodies of birds are called in old Norse fjaðr-hamr, in Anglo-Saxon | WIKI |
Harold A. Rogers
Harold Allin Rogers, OC, OBE (January 3, 1899 – September 15, 1994) was the founder of Kin Canada. He is known by Kinsmen and Kinettes as Founder Hal.
Early life
Harold Allin Rogers was born in London, Ontario, on January 3, 1899. Rogers moved to Hamilton, Ontario to work for his father when he was appointed manager of the Standard Sanitary Co. Ltd. Soon after the move, in March 1916, at the age of 17, he enlisted with the 173rd Argyle and Sutherland Battalion. After further training in England, and anxious to get to the front lines, he transferred to the 54th Kootenay Battalion. He fought at Vimy Ridge, Lens, Hill 70 and Ypres, where his leadership skills in the field led to his promotion to the rank of corporal and a recommendation for a commission. Before it could be acted upon, he was gassed at the Paschendaele front (Ypres) and wounded at the Amiens front. After hospitalization in England, he returned home to Hamilton in January 1919.
Kin Canada
Missing the camaraderie of army life, Rogers decided to join the local Rotary Club where his father was a member. Because a once fundamental rule of the Rotarians was to only have one member from each employment classification and as he worked as a salesman in the plumbing industry for his father, his application was rejected. Rogers decided to create a new club and, as a result of his initiative, a small group of like-minded men gathered for a dinner meeting on February 20, 1920, and formed what became known as the Kinsmen Club of Hamilton - Canada's first Kinsmen Club.
Education
Rogers dedication to the concept of education is evidenced in his many years as a trustee on the Forest Hill Board of Education and was recognised by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, which named him the first recipient of the Lamp of Learning Award in 1950. The Lamp of Learning is awarded annually to a non-teacher who has contributed to the furtherance of education in the Province of Ontario.
In 1994, The Hal Rogers Endowment the Fund was established in his honour to fund bursaries to post-secondary students. By 2007, 564 awards of $1000 each had been presented.
Plaque
The Ontario Heritage Trust erected a plaque at his birthplace in London, Ontario. ''The founder of Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs of Canada was born and raised at 324 Dundas Street, directly across from the armouries. Seeking the camaraderie he had experienced in the army during the First World War, "Hal" Rogers began the first Kinsmen Club in Hamilton in 1920. Under his guidance other clubs soon formed, each dedicated to "serving the community's greatest need". Ongoing contributions from women prompted the formation of the Kinettes in 1942. During the Second World War, Rogers chaired the "Milk for Britain" campaign, the first of the clubs' many national projects. By visiting clubs across Canada throughout his life, he inspired countless young Canadians to serve their communities.''
Recognition
Rogers died on September 15, 1994, at the age of 95.
Rogers was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1946 to recognise his efforts as the chairman of Kinsmen's Milk for Britain wartime project which raised about C$2.7 million and sent 50 million quarts of milk to Britain.
In 1978, Rogers was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in recognition of his years of community service and founding of Kin Canada.
In 2004, he was voted number 22 on the list of The Greatest Canadian a program televised by the CBC. | WIKI |
Chiropractic Wellness
Chiropractic is more than just treatment of pain symptoms: chiropractic is about optimizing your health in general.
Dozens of medical studies have found that chiropractic can be effective for a variety of health conditions.
Posture and Chiropractic
A chiropractor is trained to detect poor posture and its underlying reasons. Unhealthy posture can indicate problems with the spine or nervous system. It is important to discover the reason for poor posture and to treat the problem before further health issues arise.
A common posture problem is forward tilt of the pelvis. The body’s weight shifts forward, causing excessive curvature and muscle weakness. This can cause chronic lower back and muscle pain, sciatica, leg weakness and circulation problems in the lower extremities. Premature spinal arthritis of the joints and discs can develop.
Chiropractic treatment can address health issues caused by forward tilt of the pelvis and other posture problems. A chiropractor may use spinal manipulation to realign the pelvis and prevent it from tipping. Myofascial therapy can alleviate trigger points (areas of tenderness in the muscles). Stretching exercises may be prescribed to help reduce muscle tension and pain.
Research has shown that poor posture can lead to further health problems. Take good care of your spine and attend to any painful areas early on. A chiropractor can teach you how to maintain a healthy posture, so that you can protect your back while you sleep, exercise and work.
Pregnancy and Chiropractic
Pregnant women can safely receive chiropractic care. In fact, chiropractic treatments can promote a healthy, stress-free pregnancy by alleviating joint pain, muscle aches and nausea.
Chiropractors are trained to accommodate the special needs of pregnant women. Treatments are modified so that no pressure is applied to the abdomen. Some chiropractors receive specialized training to address specific conditions that can arise during pregnancy. Such a practitioner will have a special table that adjusts to accommodate the belly at all stages of pregnancy.
Misaligned joints may be caused by the massive changes that occur during a pregnancy. Weight gain, changes to the alignment of the pelvis, changes to posture, and increased curvature of the back all contribute to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic treatments can be especially effective in reducing the effects of these physical stresses on the body.
Chiropractic treatment can provide relief for other symptoms of pregnancy, such as nausea and morning sickness. Stress to the uterus and its supporting ligaments may be reduced by means of a specialized technique in establishing balance in the pelvis.
Maintaining a healthy spinal alignment will assist the body in functioning more effectively during this significant time of change. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Ulna
The ulna is the longer, larger and more medial of the lower arm bones. Many muscles in the arm and forearm attach to the ulna to perform movements of the arm, hand and wrist. Movement of the ulna is essential to such everyday functions as throwing a ball and driving a car.
The ulna extends through the forearm from the elbow to the wrist, narrowing significantly towards its distal end. At its proximal end it forms the elbow joint with the humerus of the upper arm and the radius of the forearm. The ulna extends past the humerus to form the tip of the elbow, known as the olecranon....

Full Ulna Description
[Continued from above] . . . The olecranon fits into a small recess in the humerus known as the olecranon fossa, preventing the elbow’s extension beyond around 180 degrees. Just distal to the olecranon is the concave trochlear notch that surrounds the trochlea of the humerus to form the hinge of the elbow joint. The distal lip of the trochlear notch protrudes anteriorly to form the coronoid process that helps to lock the ulna in place with the humerus at the elbow and fits into the coronoid fossa of the humerus. On the lateral edge of the coronoid process is the small radial notch that forms the proximal radioulnar joint with the radius and permits the radius to rotate around the ulna at the elbow. A long ridge on the anterior side of the coronoid process known as the ulnar tuberosity extends down the shaft of the ulna as a muscle attachment point.
Moving distally from the elbow, the ulna begins to taper slightly in diameter along its entire length while curving medially. At its distal end, the ulna forms a small part of the wrist with the radius and the carpals of the hand. A rounded process known as the head of the ulna forms the distal radioulnar joint with the concave ulnar notch of the radius. The alignment of these joint-forming processes allows the radius to rotate around the ulna at the wrist. A small bony extension known as the styloid process protrudes from the posterior and medial corner of the ulna and provides an attachment point for the ulnar collateral ligament of the wrist.
Functionally, the ulna provides muscle attachment sites for over a dozen muscles in the upper arm and forearm. In the upper arm, the triceps brachii and anconeus muscles form insertions at the olecranon to extend the forearm at the elbow. The brachialis muscle has its insertion on the coronoid process to flex the arm at the elbow. Many muscles that act on the hand and wrist have their origins on the ulna, including the pronators, supinators, flexors and extensors.
Like its neighbors the humerus and radius, the ulna is classified as a long bone because of its long, narrow shape. All long bones have a similar structure, with a hollow shaft surrounded by compact bone and reinforced at the ends with spongy bone.
The hollow medullary cavity at the center of the ulna is filled with a soft, greasy substance known as yellow bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow contains many adipocytes and stores energy for the body in the form of triglycerides, or fats.
Surrounding the medullary cavity is the hard, dense compact bone made of mineral matrix and collagen fibers. The mix of collagen and minerals, including calcium, gives the ulna its great strength and flexibility.
The ends of the ulna are reinforced by spongy bone that increases the strength of the compact bone near the joints without significantly increasing the mass of the bone. Each region of spongy bone is made of many thin columns known as trabeculae that act like the steel girders of a bridge to withstand the stresses placed on the bone. Red bone marrow is found in the spaces between the trabeculae and contains many stem cells that produce the body’s blood cells.
On the joint-forming ends of the ulna are thin layers of hyaline cartilage that cover the compact bone and protect it from the stresses at the joints. Hyaline is as smooth as ice to help bones glide past each other at the joints. It is also rubbery to absorb the shocks of impacts at the joints. The outer surface of the ulna (except at the joints) is covered in a thin fibrous layer known as the periosteum. Periosteum is made of a dense weave of collagen fibers that extend into the tendons and ligaments that attach the ulna to the muscles and bones of the arm.
The ulna begins at birth as a long bony shaft, known as the diaphysis, capped with hyaline cartilage at both ends. At around 4 years of age, the hyaline at the distal end by the wrist begins to ossify and forms a small bony cap known as the distal epiphysis. A thin layer of hyaline, known as the epiphyseal plate or growth plate, remains between the diaphysis and the newly formed epiphysis. The ulna grows lengthwise into the growth plate, which in turn grows to prevent the fusion of the diaphysis and epiphysis. At around age 10, the proximal tip of the olecranon begins to ossify and forms the proximal epiphysis. These three bones continue to grow and remain separated by the epiphyseal plates until the end of puberty and the beginning of adulthood, when they fuse together to form a single, unified ulna. The site of the epiphyseal plate becomes known as the metaphysis in the mature bone.

Shrinkage of coefficient of determination
Melcombe, does the dictionary you cite specifically use the word "shrinkage" to describe this effect? If so, I would move the tag one sentence further. --Zvika (talk) 10:38, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
* The dictionary ties "shrinkage" directly to "an equation ...applied to a new data set ...predicts much less than in the original sample". It has a separate entry for "shrinkage estimators" and another for "Shrinkage formulae" which relates to two different adjustments of R2. So I think the idea is not that strongly tied directly to R2 but presumably would also occur for other measures of model fit in a regression context. I think this correspond to where a put the tag.

ETHIOPIA

ETHIOPIA
ries, soon became one of the most important in the State, and the custom arose at court of nominating to it the heir presumptive to the throne, with the title of Prince of Cush. The glorious reigns of Rameses II, of the Nineteenth Dynasty, and of Rameses III, of the Twentieth Dynasty, served to consolidate this con- quest for a time, but for a time only. Egypt, worn out, was weary of war, and even of victory, and the era of her campaigns ended with the Rameseid dy nasty. Ethiopia, always alert to note the doings of her enemy, profited by this respite to recover her strength. She collected her forces, and soon, having won back her independence, an unexpected event left her mistress of her former conqueror.
The descendants of the royal priesthood of Amun- Ra, exiled from Thebes to Ethiopia by the Pharaohs of the Twenty-second Dynasty, had infused a new life into the land of their exile. They had reorganized its political institutions and centralized them at
sor, was defeated by Esarhaddon, and forced to re- treat as far as Napata, pursued by the Ninevite hosts. The victory, however, was dearly bought by the Assy- rians, and the Ethiopians, even in retreat, proved so dangerous that the pursuit was abandoned. Taharqa, encouraged by the fear he inspired in his enemies, tried to win back the Nile Valley. He assumed the offen- sive a few years after this, and soon entered Memphis almost without striking a blow. But the princes of the Delta, of whom Nechao was the most powerful, far from extending him a welcome, joined forces with the King of Nineveh. Asurbanipal, who had now suc- ceeded his father, Esarhaddon, straightway attacked Taharqa, and the King of Ethiopia fell back once more towards the Cataracts. His son-in-law, Tanuat- Amen, once more victorious, went up as far as Mem- phis, where he defeated the Delta princes, allies of the Assyrians, but a fresh expedition under Asurbanipal completely broke his power. Thereafter Tanuat-

Napata, which city, in the hands of its new lords, be- came a sort of Ethiopian Thebes modelled on the Thebes of Egypt. With the co-operation of the na- tive peoples Napata was soon reckoned among the great political powers. While Ethiopia was develop- ing and flourishing, Egypt, so disintegrated as to be a mere collection of feudal States, was being more and more weakened by incessant revolutions. Certain Egyptian princes having at this period appealed to the King of Napata for help, he crossed over into the The- baid, and established order there ; then, to the surprise of those who had appealed to him, he continued his way northwards and went as far as Memphis, nor did he halt until he had subjugated the country and pro- claimed the suzerainty of Ethiopia over the whole Nile Valley. Piankhy, to whom belongs the honour of this achievement, caused an account of it to be engraved at Jebel-Barkal, near Napata. After his reign the throne passed to a native family, anfl during the Twenty- fourth and Twenty-fifth Dynasties Ethiopia had the glory of giving birth to the Pharaohs who ruled all the land from Abyssinia to the shores of the Mediterran- ean.
But at the very time when the Ethiopian armies were advancing from the .South to subdue the North, the victorious .\ssyrian armies of the King of Niiioveli were already ciicaniped on the borders of Phcenici.'i. Menaced by Sargon II in the days of Shahaka, Egypt was invaded for the first time by Sennacherib's army during the reign of Shabataka. Taharqa, his succes-
Amen remained in his Kingdom of Napata; and thus Ethiopian sway over Egypt was brought to a close.
Restricted to its natural limits, the Ethiopian king- dom did not cease to be a powerful State. Attacked by Psamettichus I and Psamettichus II, it was able to maintain its independence and break the ties which bound it to the northern kingdom. In the following century Cambyses, the conqueror of Egypt, attracted by the marvellous renown of the countries along the Upper Nile, set on foot an expedition against Ethiopia, but in spite of the numbers and prowess of his troops, he was obliged to retreat. W'hen Artaxerxes II, sur- named Ochus, invaded the Delta, Nectanebo II, King of Egypt, could find no safer refuge than Ethiopia, and in the days of the Ptolemies one of its kings, Arq- Amen (the Ergamenes of Diodorus Siculus), was pow- erful enough to commemorate his exploits in the deco- rations of the temple at Philip. Nevertheless these last rays of glory were to fade quickly. Abandoned to itself, removed from the civilizing influences of the North, the country fell back step by step into its prim- itive barbarism, and defeat is written upon the last page of its hi.story. The last invasion of Ethiopia was by Roman legions; led by Petronius, they advanced .•IS far as Napata, where a (|ueen occupied the throne, and the city was destrnycd. ,\fter this, darkness falls upon all these countries of the Upper Nile, and ancient lOthiopia disappears — to appear again transformed by a new civilization which begins with the history of modern Nubia. | WIKI |
Easy SwingBuilder/RESTful web service demo
I’m teaching (yet) another Java Web Services class this week, and the subject of RESTful web services came up. When I talk to students about that, I often like to use the example of the Google Chart API.
(Whether that’s a truly RESTful web service or not depends on who you talk to. Google Chart only supports GET requests, so PUT, POST, and DELETE don’t enter into the discussion. It doesn’t have method names embedded in the URL parameters, though. Someone recently tweeted that the best thing about SOAP-based web services is that nobody argues about what is or isn’t truly SOAPful.)
If you check the main page for Google Chart, it starts with a nice, trivial, ‘Hello, World!’ example. I couldn’t resist demonstrating it to my class using Groovy.
import javax.swing.ImageIcon
import javax.swing.WindowConstants as WC
import java.awt.BorderLayout as BL
import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder
// Base url for Google chart
def base = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?'
// Assemble the query string from a map
// 3D pie chart, 250x100 pixels, values 60,40, labels 'Hello','World'
def params = [cht:'p3',chs:'250x100',
chd:'t:60,40',chl:'Hello|World']
url = base + params.collect { k,v -> "$k=$v" }.join('&')
// Display the result using Groovy's cool SwingBuilder
SwingBuilder.build() {
frame(title:'Hello, World!', visible:true,
defaultCloseOperation:WC.EXIT_ON_CLOSE) {
label(icon:new ImageIcon(new URL(url)),
constraints:BL.CENTER)
}.pack()
}
Accessing the URL returns a png image, which I wrap inside an ImageIcon, which I place inside a JLabel. The rest is hopefully clear. Executing the script gives the picture below:
Hello, World! image from Google Chart
The only other issue I had to deal with is that I was running inside a company, i.e., behind a proxy. Therefore, when I ran the script using the groovy command, I added -DproxyHost=... -DproxyPort=... in order to access Google Chart.
Pretty sweet. :)

If this is the case then might it be an idea to seperate out the backend
of mono-develop (and in part sharp-develop) and then write front-ends to
this code, granting us the ability to use the backend stuff with a wide
variety of platforms and development tools (ie a GTK# front-end, a
windows frontend , links to emacs / vim eclipse etc), with some
discussion with the sharp-develop team we could all work against a
common backend reducing the amount of work involved for all ?!? . | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Is liver disease common in Asians?
Is liver disease common in Asians?
Why is hepatitis so common in Asia
Most Asians acquire hepatitis B as a consequence of vertical transmission from their mothers during birth or later in life via child-to-child transmission. Because of their underdeveloped immune systems, nearly all infants exposed to the virus will become chronic carriers of hepatitis B.
Which hepatitis is common in Asia
Know Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is common worldwide, especially in many parts of Asia and the Pacific Islands.
What is the most common liver disease in the world hepatitis
Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus that attacks and injures the liver. Two billion people (or 1 in 3) have been infected and about 300 million people are living with a chronic hepatitis B infection.
How prevalent is liver disease in Africa
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease globally and is estimated to affect approximately 25% of the world's population. Data about the prevalence and incidence of NAFLD in Africa are scarce, but the prevalence is estimated to be 13·5% for the general population.
Are Asians prone to hepatitis
Asian Americans make up 6% of the total population in the United States, but account for 58% of the 862,000 Americans living with chronic hepatitis B. Prevalence is also high among Pacific Islanders living in the United States.
Why are Asians at risk for Hep B
Most Asians and Pacific Islanders who have hepatitis B were infected during childbirth from their mothers who were infected – that is why it is common to see multiple members of the same family affected by hepatitis B.
Which country has the most liver disease
In epidemiological terms, DALYs (per 1,000 people) of liver cirrhosis due to alcohol use are highest in India (2356.4), followed by the US (467.9), China (466.3), Nigeria (424.5), and Indonesia (365.1). Lowest DALYs are seen in Brunei Darussalam (0.1), Iceland (0.1), Kuwait (0.2), Qatar (0.3), and Oman (0.4%) (Fig.
Who is most likely to get liver disease
Cirrhosis is more common in adults ages 45 to 54. About 1 in 200 adults ages 45 to 54 in the United States has cirrhosis. Researchers believe the actual numbers may be higher because many people with cirrhosis are not diagnosed.
Why is there so much hepatitis in China
The hepatitis problem is a reflection of the vast developmental gap between China's rural and urban areas. The largest problem facing Chinese people infected with HBV is that illegal blood testing is required by most employers in China.
Are Asians more susceptible to liver disease
Chronic liver disease and liver cancer are surging in the United States, but no group is more affected than Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). Though only 6% of the U.S. population, people of Asian descent account for 60% of liver cancer cases in the nation.
Are Asians more prone to hepatitis
In the United States, one study reports that approximately half of the 1 million persons with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are Asian/Pacific Islanders, most of whom became infected with HBV before arriving in the United States.
Are Asians more prone to fatty liver
In recent decades, NAFLD has also become more prevalent in Asia [2]. In fact, the overall prevalence of NAFLD in Asia is about 30%, closely tracking that of the West [1]. However, obesity is defined at a lower BMI for Asians, as the risk of metabolic comorbidities is known to rise at these lower BMI cutoffs [3].
What are 4 warning signs of a damaged liver
Here are some of the most common signs that you may be developing liver problems.A general unwell feeling.Jaundice or yellowing of the skin and eyes.Frequent gassy sensation.Confusion.Fluid retention: A weak liver can result in swelling due to fluid retention, especially of the feet and ankles.
What disease is more common in Asians
For Asian Americans, the leading cause of death is cancer, a factor unique to their racial/ethnic group. For every other racial/ethnic category, heart disease is the leading cause of death. Asian Americans exhibit the highest rates of cancers of the liver, cervix, and stomach.
Why do Asians have more body fat
Compared to Caucasians and African-Americans, Asians generally display lower levels of physical activity and are less likely to meet daily-recommended requirements for physical exercise [50–59]. Reduced physical activity in the Asian population may contribute to greater abdominal fat deposition.
How do I know if my liver is OK
A liver blood test measures the levels of various things in your blood, like proteins, liver enzymes, and bilirubin. This can help check the health of your liver and for signs of inflammation or damage. Your liver can be affected by: liver infections — like hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
How do I know if my liver is not OK
Here are some of the most common signs that you may be developing liver problems. A general unwell feeling. An underperforming liver can't filter toxins out of the bloodstream, resulting in fatigue, headaches and skin problems. Frequent gassy sensation.
What is the leading cause of death for Asians
Cancer
Leading Causes of Death – Males – Non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander – United States, 2016
Non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander, Male, All ages Percent
1) Cancer 25.7%
2) Heart disease 22.5%
3) Stroke 6.5%
4) Unintentional injuries 5.5%
What is the top 1 disease in China
The biggest cause of death in China is strokes, followed by heart disease, chronic pulmonary disease and then lung cancer, according to the global burden of disease study produced by the US Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Smoking is a contributing factor in many of those cases.
How many Asians are overweight
Overall, Asian Americans had a 11.7% obesity prevalence compared to 39.7% and 29.4% in Black and White Americans, respectively.
What culture eats the most fat
Belgium, where people eat 95 grams of fat each day on average, holds the distinction of being the world's most fat-crazed country. Germany, where people eat 86.5 grams of fat each day on average, is second. Finland, where people eat just shy of 81 grams, is third.
Can you feel an unhealthy liver
If signs and symptoms of liver disease do occur, they may include: Skin and eyes that appear yellowish (jaundice) Abdominal pain and swelling. Swelling in the legs and ankles.
Can the liver repair itself
The liver has a unique capacity among organs to regenerate itself after damage. A liver can regrow to a normal size even after up to 90% of it has been removed. But the liver isn't invincible. Many diseases and exposures can harm it beyond the point of repair.
Can you feel a healthy liver
In the majority of normal examinations the liver is not palpable. Cases in which the normal liver is palpable include emphysema, right-sided pleural effusion, thin body carriage, Riedel's lobe, or deep diaphragmatic excursion.
What is the number one killer in Asia
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally as well as in the South-East Asia Region. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Endothelium-dependent contraction and relaxation of the human and canine internal mammary artery: Studies on bypass graft vasospasm
P. J. Lin, P. J. Pearson, Hartzell V Schaff
Research output: Contribution to journalArticle
26 Scopus citations
Abstract
The internal mammary artery (IMA) is the preferred conduit for coronary artery bypass graft because of superior late patency. However, IMA vasospasm may contribute to myocardial ischemia and early postoperative morbidity. To investigate mechanisms of vasospasm, we compared the reactivity of human and canine IMA segments in vitro to agonists known to release endothelium-derived contracting factor and endothelium-derived relaxing factor. Rings (4 mm in length) of human and canine IMA were studied in organ chambers. Human and canine vascular smooth muscle exhibited comparable contraction to norepinephrine (maximum = 7.55 ± 0.63 gm and 6.4 ± 0.90 gm, respectively) and relaxation to sodium nitroprusside. Human and canine IMAs exhibited comparable endothelium-derived relaxing factor-mediated relaxations to acetylcholine (human) and methacholine (canine). Human and canine IMA also exhibited comparable endothelium-dependent contraction to hypoxia (to 173.3% ± 8.1% and 178.9% ± 16.0% of initial prehypoxic tension; means ± SEM; n = 12). Endothelium-dependent contraction to hypoxia in human and canine IMA could be attenuated by N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (10-6 mol/L), a competitive inhibitor of L-arginine metabolism (n = 9 and n = 10 for human and canine; p < 0.05). These studies establish that the canine is an appropriate model for study of human IMA vascular reactivity and that hypoxia can induce the release of an L-arginine-dependent, endothelium-derived contracting factor in the human and canine IMA. In vivo, the release of endothelium-derived contracting factor in response to hypoxemia may be cause of IMA vasospasm.

Comparison of Thermally Coated and Uninsulated Rail Tank Cars Filled with LPG Subjected to a Fire Environment
• 01
• Dec
• 1974
AUTHOR: Townsend, Anderson, Zook and Cowgill
OFFICE: RPD
REPORT NUMBER: DOT/FRA/ORD-75/32
SUBJECT: Hazardous Materials
KEYWORDS: liquefied petroleum gasses; fires research; tank cars
ABSTRACT: Two fire tests were conducted on 128 kiloliter high pressure rail tank cars filled with liquefied petroleum gas. Both tank cars were exposed to an intense hydrocarbon fire after being outfitted with appropriate instrumentation. The instrumentation was monitored and its output recorded throughout the fire tests. To test the feasibility of insulating railroad tank cars and to protect them from fire exposure, one of the cars was coated with a .318cm thermal shield. A comparison of data conclusively shows that a thermal shield significantly alters the thermal response of a rail tank car in a fire environment.

1999 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C
The Campeonato Brasileiro Série C 1999, the third level of the Brazilian National Football League, was played from 27 August to 23 December 1999. The competition had 36 clubs and two of them were promoted to Série B.
Fluminense finished the final phase group with most points and was declared 1999 Brazilian Série C champions, claiming the promotion to the 2000 Série B along with São Raimundo, the runners-up. However, with the creation of the Copa João Havelange, Fluminense was promoted directly to the equivalent of the Série A, the Group Blue, while five quarterfinalists (Serra, Náutico, Figueirense, Caxias and Americano), along with Brasil de Pelotas, Villa Nova (reached the second phase), Bangu, Fortaleza, Anapolina and CSA (eliminated in the first phase) were promoted to the Group Yellow.

Ubuntu: change editor globally
I found the update-alternatives on my travels and very handy it is too especially when on a bytemark box by default the editor is set to "joe". From the man page:
update-alternatives creates, removes, maintains and displays information about the symbolic links comprising the Debian alternatives system. It is possible for several programs fulfilling the same or similar functions to be installed on a single system at the same time. For example, many systems have several text editors installed at once. This gives choice to the users of a system, allowing each to use a different editor, if desired, but makes it difficult for a program to make a good choice of editor to invoke if the user has not specified a particular preference. Debian's alternatives system aims to solve this problem. A generic name in the filesystem is shared by all files providing interchangeable functionality. The alternatives system and the system administrator together determine which actual file is referenced by this generic name. For example, if the text editors ed(1) and nvi(1) are both installed on the system, the alternatives system will cause the generic name /sw/bin/editor to refer to /sw/bin/nvi by default. The system administrator can override this and cause it to refer to /sw/bin/ed instead, and the alternatives system will not alter this setting until explicitly requested to do so.
To change the editor
sudo update-alternatives --config editor
There are 8 alternatives which provide `editor'.

Phrase search with fuzziness
Hi all,
A while ago, I needed to find documents that a certain term(word) is repeated twice or more in a certain field of those documents. Some queries like Match query doesn't work in such situations as they just check whether any word of search text exists in document field or not. Therefore, I had to use match_phrase query as it also allows the words of search text to be in any order which was really important to me.
The problem is that I need to include fuzziness in my search query explained above and unfortunately, match_phrase query doesn't support fuzziness. According to my Google searches, everyone recommends using span_near query rather than match_phrase for this purpose and it works for normal cases very well, but when there are duplicate words in search text, it seems span_near is not able to match any word in search text individually. Please note that I have to use span_near query with "slop": 50 and "in_order": false to achieve the functionality just like what match_phrase query provides. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
Does anyone know how I can achieve Match Phrase behaviour along with fuzziness without using span_near query? Any help would be much appreciated.

and open on all four sides, according to the style of Breton bell towers.
But this belfry appeared alternately open and closed at regular intervals; its lofty window showed all white, then all black; the sky could be seen through, then it was seen no longer; it would be light, then eclipsed, and the opening and shutting followed each other a second apart, with the regularity of a hammer on an anvil.
This steeple in Cormeray was about two leagues away in front of the old man; just about as far to his right on the horizon, he saw the steeple of Baguer-Pican; the belfry of this steeple was opening and shutting in the same way as that in Cormeray.
He looked to his left at the steeple of Tanis; the belfry of the tower at Tanis was opening and shutting just the same as that at Baguer-Pican.
He looked at all the steeples on the horizon, one after another, to the left, the steeples of Courtils, of Précey, of Crollon, and of Croix-Avranchin; to the right, the steeples of Raz-sur-Couesnon, Mordrey, and the Pas; in front of him, the steeple of Pontorson. The belfries of all the steeples were alternately black and white.
What did it all mean?
It signified that all the bells were ringing.
To appear and disappear in this way they must be pulled furiously.
What was it then? evidently the tocsin.
They were sounding the alarm, sounding it frantically, sounding it everywhere, in all the belfries, in every parish, in every village, and not a sound reached his ears.
This was owing to the distance, which prevented the sounds from reaching so far, and because of the sea breeze blowing from the opposite direction, which carried all land noises far away from him.
All these bells madly calling from every side, and at the same time, silence; nothing could be more weird.
The old man looked and listened.
He did not hear the tocsin, but he saw it.
To see the tocsin—a strange sensation.
With whom are these bells angry?
Against whom is this tocsin sounding? | WIKI |
A meta-analysis on the use of radiotherapy after prostatectomy: adjuvant versus early salvage radiation.
To determine which method of radiotherapy proves more effective after prostatectomy: Adjuvant (ART) or early salvage (ESRT), we observed the pathologic and adverse risk factors of patients and their results from both treatments, looking specifically at biochemical-free survival rates, metastasis-free survival rates, and overall survival rates. Peer review articles containing their own data collected between 1986 and 2022 were reviewed. We reviewed 67 peer review articles and included 33 that met criteria. Studies focused on the adverse risk factors and the results of patients either before/after receiving adjuvant or early salvage/salvage radiotherapy were included in the analysis. Patient characteristics had an effect on what treatment a patient would receive; if a patient had more than one adverse risk factor such as a high Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, T-stage, or positive margins, they would receive immediate radiation after prostatectomy, which would classify as ART. If the patient had no adverse risk factors after surgery, they would be placed in an observation period to follow their PSA and overall health, and only if necessary, undergo ESRT. Of the 33 studies, ART was proven to be only slightly more beneficial when relating to biochemical recurrence-free survival while ART and ESRT results were similar in metastasis-free survival and overall survival. ART and ESRT are overall comparable in their patient outcomes, despite their own unique pros and cons. The use of ESRT reduces overtreatment in men who may not experience biochemical recurrence. However, in those with very high-risk pathologic features, a multi-disciplinary approach should be utilized to best determine which mode of radiation therapy after surgery is recommended.

‘Leap to the similimum’ method – Dr Divya Chhabra
the other song
presents
”Leap to the Simillimum by Dr.Divya Chhabra – The Background method
A 2 day homeopathic experience which will take you beyond
the boundaries of the logical mind.
So what is it about?
1) To reach the core experience of every symptom
2) To jump to different areas of experience like food, fear,dreams etc.
3) To leap and reach the irrational state.
4) To ultimately confluence with the simillimum i.e. the source of the remedy itself!
The Homeopath’s eternal quest is for the perfect Simillimum.
Hahnemann described the ‘Totality of Symptoms’ as the State.
“This method eliminates the subjectivity of the patient and homeopath, and prejudices that can color the path; a unique path that is a perfectly Rational method of decoding the Irrational”
As we begin to go deeper into our cases, because of the limits and deficiencies of repertories and Provings, the prescriptive totality moves from a repertorial totality, to mental state, to Delusional state, and finally to the State in the Unconscious.
The ‘State’ is irrational and hence is pushed into the Unconscious. It is the job of the Conscious Mind to keep the Unconscious hidden. All the knowledge we have of the world around is based on receiving signals from the 5 senses and the brain matching these inputs with information already known. These signals are being received and processed automatically and unconsciously.
In the same way the State which is in the Unconscious can be accessed easily and directly by symptoms of the 5 senses. Using these signals as the signposts, we walk the path to the Unconscious and then use them as footholds to leap from the conscious to the Unconscious and the Simillimum. This method eliminates the subjectivity of the patient and homeopath, and prejudices that can color the path; a unique path that is a perfectly Rational method of decoding the Irrational.
What is the ‘Background method in the Leap to the Similium’ process?
Scenes around us in early childhood, can alter neural circuits in the unconscious brain like the ‘bell’ in the Pavlov experiment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning.
The introduction of the bell in the food and salivation neural circuit will ultimately result in a disruption in the normal acid & digestive enzymes regulation resulting in some gastric disease.In this way the introduction of other such repeated stimuli, due to early childhood five sense experience, will disrupt our body functioning results in disease.
The ‘Background Method’ by replaying key scenes in patient’s life will show us the disrupted neural circuit & lead us to the bull’s eye similimum.
Come on this treasure hunt with us on 22nd – 23rd February, 2020 with the new & exciting path in the Leap to the Similimum.
About the speaker:
Dr.Divya Chhabra graduated from Smt. Chandaben Mohanbhai Patel Homoeopathic Medical College, Mumbai, in 1989, and began her practice in 1992.Dr. Chhabra, with 28 years of homoeopathic practice, has trod the ladder to the Simillimum, exploring every rung with care and depth. She walked through the rungs of rubrics, remedy pictures, provings, and delusions before reaching the present vantage point of the ‘Leap to the Simillimum’.
On this journey she conducted provings of Lac Felinum, Mag Sulph, Thea,Cit-l, Lac-def, Lac Humanum, Tungsten, Bat, Lac Rhesus, Eagle. She also clarified the grey area of potency through 2 potency provings, Nat-mur and Calc-carb.
While the theme of the ‘Unconscious’ has been a constant factor and reaching the state there, through the tool of Free Association an important milestone in the journey, it is only now that it has been fully experienced.Dr. Chhabra has been teaching in India and abroad for the last seven years and has lectured in various parts of the world such as Switzerland, Germany, Austria, England, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Greece, the Slovakia Republic, Australia, New Zealand, the U.S. and Canada.
She has conducted provings of several remedies including Magnesia sulphurica, Thea, Citrus, Lac Felinum, Lac Rhesus, Tungsten, Lac Defloratum, Lac Humanum, Eagle, and Bat. She has also conducted a potency proving with two well-proven polycrest remedies, Calcarea carbonicum and Natrum muriaticum, in potencies from 30 to 50 M.
Her work has helped further our understanding of more accurately selecting potencies. Dr. Chhabra is well known for her brilliant style of case taking in which she follows the thread of every important symptom beautifully to reach the core feeling state of the individual.

Schwab (SCHW) Rides on Buyouts, Higher Rates Amid Rising Costs
Charles Schwab SCHW continues to benefit from an increasing client base in advisory solutions, higher interest rates and inorganic growth efforts. However, decreasing trading revenues and elevated expenses are near-term headwinds.
Supported by higher rates, Schwab’s net interest margin (NIM) is expected to improve in the quarters ahead. After slashing rates thrice in 2019, the central bank cut interest rates to near-zero in March 2020, which hurt the company’s margins. Nevertheless, with the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, SCHW’s margins are expected to no longer be under pressure. In 2022, NIM improved to 1.78%. We project NIM to improve to 2.12% in 2023, 2.36% in 2024 and to 2.98% in 2025.
SCHW continues to benefit from aggressive efforts to increase its client base in advisory solutions. While the company’s advice solution revenues declined in the first quarter of 2023, the same witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2% over the last six years (2017-2022).
The buyouts of USAA’s Investment Management Company, Wasmer, Schroeder & Company, LLC and Motif’s technology and intellectual property helped diversify revenues. Although it lowered fees on certain advice solution products, revenues from the same increased as average client asset balances improved.
As of Mar 31, 2023, Schwab had cash and cash equivalents of $49.2 billion and total debt of $72.7 billion. The company remains focused on maintaining a low-cost capital structure, which has been able to support its capital deployments. In January, it announced a 14% hike in its quarterly dividend, followed by one hike in July 2022. Although the company has paused share buybacks in 2023, it is expected to continue to enhance shareholder value through efficient capital deployments.
However, continuously mounting expenses are expected to hurt SCHW’s bottom line. Expenses witnessed a CAGR of 16.8% over the last seven years (2016-2022), mainly due to a rise in compensation and benefit costs, and acquisitions. The uptrend persisted in the first quarter of 2023. An increase in costs associated with compensation and regulatory spending, as well as strategic buyouts, are expected to keep total expenses elevated. We project total expenses to witness a CAGR of 3.2% by 2025.
Schwab’s trading revenues are expected to be under pressure in the near term, given the uncertain market conditions. While the company’s trading revenues witnessed a CAGR of 41.2% over the six-year period ended 2022, the same declined in 2022 and the first three months of 2023. It has been focusing on enhancing trading revenues by undertaking several initiatives, which, along with the acquisition of TD Ameritrade, are likely to result in some improvement in trading income. However, per our estimates, trading revenues are expected to decline 12.9% in 2023.
In the past six months, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have fallen 36.1% compared with the industry's 19.3% decline.

What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
what is sheet metal fabrication?
A simple piece of sheet metal by itself doesn’t offer much in the way of usefulness. However, through the process of sheet metal fabrication, this particular metal can be used to craft finely-tuned machines or structures that can allow a business to not only thrive, but potentially expand operations.
Many Different Options
Businesses that offer sheet metal fabrication focus on delivering precisely-cut sheet metal that can also be twisted into any number of different shapes. That level of versatility can often be taken for granted, yet the number of everyday items that are created through the fabrication process and the different types of metal that entails include many household fixtures.
Precision at the Forefront
When this type of metal is cut, it’s usually done by professionals that are following a customer’s exact instructions. In some instances, the cutting can be followed by the punching process, which is simply punching holes in specifically designated areas.
Modern technology has advanced in this area enough that laser cutting is possible, which helps ensure that precision remains at the forefront of a job. It also helps expedite the processing of larger orders since the cut has essentially been guaranteed. Prior to the arrival of these lasers, the smoothness of the cut wasn’t always guaranteed through shearing, a prospect that has since been eliminated.
Once the cutting has been completed, the unique shape required by a customer begins to evolve. To start, press brakes can help fold the metal into the proper design, with those punch presses then creating any necessary holes. The folding portion is known as the deformation process and helps offer a new look to what had been simple sheet metal a short time earlier.
Putting It Together
Since most orders involve multiple pieces of metal being put together, professional welders will be required to fuse the different pieces. Meanwhile, specific parts that may also be a part of joining things together will require precise metal stamping work to be performed.
One of the chief reasons that this fabrication is so valuable relates to a number of different factors. For one, the possible shapes are seemingly endless and the type of material with respect to the type of metal also affords a great deal of options.
The cost is minimized because of the prospect of being able to produce high quantities of the sought-after items in a short period. Plus, the lead time involved can be brief, which allows for rush orders to be filled quickly.

Bear Creek, Texas (Dallas County)
Bear Creek is an area of Irving, Texas which was once a freedmen's town.
History
A mix of white people, enslaved black people, and free black people moved to the areas around the creek that gives the area its name in the late 1850s. Jim Green, a formerly enslaved person, became Bear Creek's first Black landowner in 1878. Other Black families began to move to the area, and Bear Creek became a predominantly Black community. Bear Creek's first church, Shady Grove Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, was established in 1884. Also in 1884, Bear Creek's Freedom School was founded on a piece of land donated by Jim Green, with materials donated by other community members.
In 1890, the Allen Chapel AME Church was founded. Two other area churches were founded in the 20th century, the Ben Washington Baptist Church in 1941 and the Evergreen Baptist Church in 1948.
In 1903, the city of Irving was founded east of Bear Creek. For much of the 20th century, Bear Creek did not receive the services and amenities provided to Irving residents. Bear Creek lacked utilities including gas, electricity, and water service, which forced them to either dig wells or travel to the city of Irving for water.
Bear Creek's Freedom School later became a part of the Dallas County Common School District, at which point it was called the Sowers Colored School No. 2. After a 1949 fire burned the Sowers School down, the Bear Creek community raised money to build a new school. Still, the new school remained severely under resourced, leading the community to request more support from the county. After their request was denied, the community picketed for fair funding, enlisting the help of the NAACP.
The school would become a part of the Irving Independent School District in 1955. While the 1954 ruling of Brown vs. Board of Education declared school segregation unconstitutional, many school districts, including the Irving Independent School District, did not comply until forced to do so by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The Irving Independent School District began integration in 1966. Following integration, many of the original Bear Creek schools closed, and Black students in the area were bussed to other Irving schools. Many community members mourned the loss of these schools as a loss of a core part of their community.
In 1964, Bear Creek residents formed he Bear Creek Improvement Association to advocate for civil rights and the annexation of Bear Creek into the city of Irving. Not all Bear Creek residents were in support of annexation, fearing loss of property and the impact of new building codes. The city of Irving annexed Bear Creek in 1969.
Bear Creek resident Jackie Mae Howard became the first Black woman to serve on the Irving City Council following her election in 1977.
Legacy
As the population of the DFW metroplex grew, Irving and Bear Creek also saw major growth. Many of the new residents were white, and the community was no longer a predominantly Black enclave.
The history of Bear Creek is commemorated at the Jackie Townsell Bear Creek Heritage Center, which features several historical museums and recreation spaces. | WIKI |
Fox News analyst to Kavanaugh: 'Say nothing' unless accuser testifies | TheHill
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano says Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh "should say nothing" about a sexual assault claim against him unless his accuser testifies before the Senate. The commentary comes after Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor who says Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party when they were both in high school in the 1980s, said through her attorney Tuesday night that she will not testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee until a full FBI investigation is completed, though such a probe is not currently open. "If Professor Ford is not physically there at the hearing and doesn't take an oath and give her version of these events, then Judge Kavanaugh should say nothing," Napolitano told Fox Business Network host Neil Cavuto. "His denial should come out of the mouth of the press office in the White House." Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck GrassleyCharles (Chuck) Ernest GrassleyWhite House denies exploring payroll tax cut to offset worsening economy Schumer joins Pelosi in opposition to post-Brexit trade deal that risks Northern Ireland accord GOP senators call for Barr to release full results of Epstein investigation MORE (R-Iowa) said Wednesday that he's willing to send staff to speak with Ford where she lives in California to hear her story. Grassley also told reporters he is offering four potential venues for Ford to speak, including a public or private hearing with committee members or a public or private discussion with committee staff. "I don't think sending staff members to California and interviewing her in her home will fit the bill," Napolitano said. The former judge also said he believes President TrumpDonald John TrumpFacebook releases audit on conservative bias claims Harry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Recessions happen when presidents overlook key problems MORE should request the FBI reopen or continue a background check to serve as Ford is asking for in an effort to avoid Kavanaugh having "taint on his skin" for not exploring all options. "I would rather see a Justice Kavanaugh start in November but without taint on his skin, than a Justice Kavanaugh starting in October but with doubt about whether or not these events happened," Napolitano said. Kavanaugh has staunchly denied the claim against him while already agreeing to appear before the committee for a second time following his bitterly partisan confirmation hearing. “I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone,” Kavanaugh said in a statement earlier this week. “Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday.” Ford says that Kavanaugh had pinned her down on a bed and attempted to take her clothes off, but Kavanaugh has responded that he wasn’t even at the party in question.

Rh the one great obstacle to the reception of that spirituality, through which the understanding of Mind-science
comes, is the inadequacy of material terms for metaphysical statements, and the consequent difficulty of so expressing metaphysical ideas as to make them comprehensible to any reader, who has not personally demonstrated Christian Science as brought forth in my discovery. Job says: “The ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.” The great difficulty is to give the right impression, when translating material terms back into the original spiritual tongue.
