Check that the weather is conducive for cruising. It is always best to sail under clear skies. Yacht charter companies cancel your scheduled trip if the weather is bad or if the seas are rough.
Wear proper footwear. Boat surfaces get slippery when wet, so wear footwear that is waterproof and with good traction. You can also go barefoot or wear comfortable light-soled shoes on-board.
Casual wear or beach wear is recommended, but this depends on the time of your cruise. During evenings or the colder months, bring a shawl or sweater. On a sunny day, bring sunscreen, hats and sunglasses.
Bring travel and identification documents, like passport or visa. The Dubai Coast Guard usually inspects these documents before giving the go-signal to sail.
If you suffer from seasickness, bring motion sickness medicines or take one before the trip. Yachts should also be equipped with first-aid kits in case passengers need medicines on-board.
Before the cruise, check the seaworthiness of the yacht. When you go cruising or deep sea fishing in Dubai, yacht companies provide full insurance for the yacht, the crew, and the guests on-board.
Pay attention to safety briefings given by the captain or crew member. Make sure you know where the life jackets, life rafts, and other safety equipment are located. If you have children, check that there are life jackets that fit them as well.
Leave the booze behind. Alcohol and safe boating do not mix well. Some yachts do not allow alcoholic drinks on-board, but if it is allowed, make sure to keep it light.
Let your captain and crew know if you do not feel well during the cruise. If there is a need to turn the boat around to get people to safety, let them know immediately.
While enjoyment is the main purpose of cruising and fishing, safety should also be a priority. Fun can never be complete if accidents happen on-board. It is always best to stay safe to have a truly fantastic time on a yacht charter. | {

How One of the Most Vulnerable Governors Staged a Comeback
After the state sent out a false nuclear attack warning in January, Hawaii Gov. David Ige trailed in polls. Now he's favored to win reelection.

Last Updated Aug. 13 at 8:19 a.m. ET
One of the year's greatest political comeback stories is playing out in Hawaii. Gov. David Ige, who looked like a sure loser a few months ago, now appears poised to win a second term.
Polls conducted this spring showed Ige trailing Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa by 20-point margins. At a time when fears of a North Korean nuclear attack were high, a false emergency alert in January warning Hawaiians of an impending ballistic missile -- and Ige's slow response to it -- appeared to doom his reelection chances.
In Unprecedented Move, Oversight Committee Urges Maine Governor to Apologize for 'Undignified' Outburst In Tight Race for Arizona Governor, Focus Is on Education Funding After 'Grueling Campaign,' Hawaii Governor Wins Democratic Primary As November Nears, More Governors' Races Become Tossups Blue-State Seats Democrats Can't Win
But polls heading into Saturday's Democratic primary showed Ige with the lead. And in Hawaii, all the action is in Democratic primaries. Republicans are essentially irrelevant. They hold no seats in the state Senate and five seats out of 51 in the state House. The Democratic nominee for governor will be considered a lock against state Rep. Andria Tupola, the GOP nominee.
"The first and most important thing is that Colleen Hanabusa [Ige's opponent] ran a terrible campaign," says Colin Moore, who directs the University of Hawaii's public policy center. "She wasn't in the state for the most important period" -- because she was serving in Congress -- "and never really articulated a clear campaign message that gave voters a reason to vote for her."
Ironically for a governor whose fortunes were almost sunk by a false nuclear warning, Ige's chances were revived largely thanks to natural disasters. Huge rainstorms over Kauai in April led to historic flooding there, damaging or destroying more than 500 homes. Meanwhile, volcanic lava has ruined so many homes on the Big Island of Hawaii that, as Hurricane Hector approached, there was mordant joking that there's nothing left to destroy.
Recovery is ongoing, but the disasters gave Ige the chance to demonstrate leadership qualities that were conspicuously not on display during the false missile alert.
"Gov. Ige has run a vigorous campaign driven by effective messaging, combined with the advantage of being the incumbent during two major disasters," says Donalyn Dela Cruz, a communications consultant.
Incumbency provided Ige with other advantages. He was able to make the local news when he held bill signing ceremonies, while Hanabusa was trapped 5,000 miles away in Washington. Neil Abercrombie, Ige's predecessor, resigned his seat in Congress to make his run for governor, recognizing the difficulties of seeking the office long distance.
Hanabusa did not make that move.
Four years ago, she did give up her seat in the U.S. House to run unsuccessfully for the Senate. In 2016, she won back her House seat. Running for her third different office in as many election cycles led to some grumbling that she was seeking the governorship mostly to satisfy career ambitions.
Although she derided Ige's leadership abilities, Hanabusa had not articulated major policy differences with him. She was a longtime labor lawyer and had received some union support. But Ige has the endorsement of the Hawaii State Teachers Association and the Sierra Club, and managed to present himself as the more progressive choice.
While Ige is running at a time of historically low unemployment in the state -- its 2 percent rate in May was the lowest recorded by any state since the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics began keeping track back in 1976 -- the cost of living and housing remains a serious sore point.
Ige himself unseated Abercrombie four years ago. If he had lost, it would have been the second time in a row the governor lost his seat in a primary -- something that's happened only a handful of times in American history.

Rome, Italy, Jun 7, 2015 / 03:53 pm ().- The head of Ukraine's Greek Catholic Church said the country is facing a "humanitarian catastrophe" with global consequences that cannot be ignored by the international community.
He called on participants of next week's G7 Summit in Bavaria to work toward effective solutions.
"The aggression against Ukraine is a challenge for preserving peace in the world which cannot pretend that nothing happens in Eastern Europe," said Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, major archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, an eastern rite Catholic Church in full communion with Rome.
Conflict erupted in Ukraine last year in February when the country's former president was ousted following months of violent protest, and a new government appointed. In March, Ukraine's eastern peninsula of Crimea was annexed by Russia and pro-Russian separatist rebels have since taken control of eastern portions of Ukraine, around Donetsk and Luhansk.
More than 6,000 people have died in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Rebels have been supported by both Russian arms and troops, according to both Ukraine and Western nations.
A ceasefire was brokered and officially began at midnight Feb. 15, however fighting has continued.
He spoke of the Vatican's diplomatic commitment to helping find a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian conflict, as well as a possible visit of Pope Francis to Ukraine.
Q: In February a ceasefire in the conflict zones of Ukraine was agreed to, however fighting seems to continue. Has the conflict improved at all since February, and are there signs on either side that fighting could end by the 2016 decentralization goal?
A: We have received the news about a cease-fire agreement in Minsk with great hope. However, it is with sadness that we must admit that these agreements have not been implemented. The cease-fire is being violated. It's true that the intensity of fighting on the occupied territories has decreased, but it doesn't mean that the fighting has stopped at all. Every day we receive sad news that someone has been killed or wounded in the result of continued fighting. Yesterday (May 27) we learned that our army was under sustained shelling near Mariupol. The most alarming for the Ukrainian society, however, is the fact that over the last months, hundreds of pieces of heavy weaponry have reached Ukrainian territory from the side of the Russian Federation. This equipment includes tanks (there are about 700 of them in Donbass according to the Ukrainian authorities), heavy artillery, mobile rocket launchers etc. Besides that, according to the information of the Ukrainian government and international observers, there is a massive accumulation of Russian troops in Ukraine and on the Russian border. These facts make us believe that Russian side with its heavy military presence in Ukraine is not seeking peace, they don't rely on the rule of law or on the respect of the international agreements but they abide only to the rule of force. Using the threat of arms, Russia is trying to dictate its will to Ukraine. In my opinion, as long as the fighting continues in Ukraine and there is an increase in Russian military presence on the occupied territories of Donbas, the true political process, which would lead to a peaceful solution of the conflict, is unlikely to bring any results. So in this sense, the intended decentralization as a part of the constitutional reform of the Ukrainian government will have no effect on the peace process either.
Q: The topic of the Ukrainian conflict will most likely be addressed during the G7 Summit in Bavaria June 7-8. Do you have hopes for the outcome of the discussion, and are there specific themes that you would like to see leaders address?
A: For ordinary Ukrainian citizens it is very important that the international community, especially the G7 Summit, considers the war in Ukraine not under the perspective of a local conflict but as a conflict with serious global consequences coming into effect now and even more so in the future. I think an encouragement for Russia's violation of the international laws and military aggression is the fact that no international institution nowadays has the power to provide proper functioning of the international security system which used to guarantee peace between the nations in the past. In these circumstances, no one in the globalized world can be at peace, no one can feel safety, even if he/she finds himself/herself far away from Eastern Ukraine. The aggression against Ukraine is a challenge for preserving peace in the world which cannot pretend that nothing happens in Eastern Europe. I would like that the G7 Summit in Bavaria takes into account that the Eastern Europe now faces a humanitarian catastrophe which, considering the territory it might effect, is the greatest crisis since the end of the WWII. Let us stop the war together! Let us show solidarity to Ukraine which is a victim of unjustified aggression!
Q: Pope Francis has shown great interest in the Ukrainian conflict, and is credited with having helped restore relations between the United States and Cuba. Do you think that the Vatican could help in reaching a peace agreement in Ukraine?
A: Holy Father Pope Francis has stated on numerous occasions that he will do everything possible to prevent the outbreak of a new war in Europe. During the last visit "Ad limina" of Catholic Bishops of Ukraine to the Vatican (Feb. 20, 2015), Pope Francis assured our Bishops that the Holy See will do its best to secure peace agreements in Ukraine. How it will happen, what steps will be taken, we don't know. But the history of our Church teaches us that the peace of Christ always wins over the war, and the truth of God is on the side of those who are unjustly treated. Seventy years ago all our Bishops were imprisoned by the Stalin regime, our Church structures were destroyed, our church property was confiscated. Our enemies thought they put to an end the very existence of our Church, but to their great surprise after many years of clandestine existence in the underground, our Church has risen to a full ecclesial existence 25 years on the eve of Ukraine's Independence. We want to believe that today God is with Ukraine because our country is a victim of unjust military aggression. We are convinced that our Savior, who became a victim Himself on the cross for the salvation of the humankind, will help us. And the Holy Father, who is Vicar of Christ on earth, is and will be our support and our help in these difficult times.
Q: The Pope has also been invited by the bishops to visit Ukraine. Has there been a response on the part of the Vatican as to when a visit could foreseeably take place?
A: The Catholic Bishops of Ukraine as well as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko have officially invited the Pope to visit Ukraine. In our opinion, similarly to military conflicts between Argentina and Chile as well as Argentina and Great Britain, the peace mission of the Holy Father helped to stop the war. So we are convinced that the visit of the Holy Father to Ukraine would be a very powerful gesture of peace which, empowered by the Holy Spirit, would accomplish what is not possible for the G7. As far as I know there is no official response of the Holy See to this invitation, but there is no decline of the invitation either. So we pray and we hope that this visit will take place in the nearest future. | {

vp19 Films 'They Knew What They Wanted,' but can't get on DVD

Films 'They Knew What They Wanted,' but can't get on DVD
Current mood: frustrated
It's no secret that Carole Lombard's 1940 drama "They Knew What They Wanted," teaming her with Charles Laughton for the second time, has never been made available on an authorized DVD in America, probably a result of rights issues with the Sidney Howard estate (Howard wrote the play, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1925).
But misery loves company, and it's hardly the only movie that's in DVD limbo. New York Post film critic Lou Lumenick recently wrote about it (http://nypost.com/2014/06/18/64-clips-of-movies-you-cant-find-on-dvd/), including brief clips of the MIA movies.
Some of the other classic-era titles that are absent from DVD -- many featuring actors or directors Carole worked with -- include:
* "The Crowd" (1928), King Vidor's pioneering slice-of-life tale.
* "The Greene Murder Case" (1929), one of three early turns for William Powell as Philo Vance.
* "Once In A Lifetime" (1932), an adaptation of the Kaufman and Hart comedic play about screenwriters during Hollywood's chaotic transition to sound.
* "Letty Lynton" (1932), which hasn't been seen by virtually anybody since MGM withdrew it from circulation in 1935, much to the dismay of Joan Crawford fans.
* "Call Her Savage" (1932), one of Clara Bow's final features for Fox.
* "Man's Castle" (1933), a Loretta Young-Spencer Tracy Depression-era gem directed by Frank Borzage.
* "The Story Of Temple Drake" (1933), a steamy pre-Code adaptation of William Faulkner's "Sanctuary," starring Miriam Hopkins.
* "The Moon'a Our Home" (1936), starring former married couple Margaret Sullavan and Henry Fonda...which Lombard and James Stewart took the lead role for a 1940 "Lux Radio Theater" adaptation.
* "Boy Meets Girl" (1938), another comedic tale of screenwriters, starring James Cagney and Pat O'Brien, with supporting turns from Marie Wilson and Ronald Reagan.
* "The Sea Wolf" (1941), a Jack London tale starring Edward G. Robinson and John Garfield.
* "To Each His Own" (1946), for which Olivia de Havilland won a Best Actress Academy Award, directed by Mitchell Leisen. (Other films of his that are DVD MIA include "I Wanted Wings" and "Lady In The Dark.")
* "Beau James" (1957), an atypical Bob Hope role as 1920s New York mayor Jimmy Walker.
* "Raintree County" (1957), a Civil War romantic epic starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift, which apparently needs considerable restorqtion.
* And... "Dynamite" (1929), a Cecil B. De Mille film where Lombard had the female lead for a few days before being fired.
Carole shows off a ruffled dress in our latest Lombard LiveJournal header, p1202-435.
It's on YouTube; I watched it, for the first time, a few weeks ago.

Re: They Knew What They Wanted
I noticed that, too, when checking out the Post's link for the brief excerpt (one I decided not to use because Lombard wasn't part of the footage). I'm uncertain how long it will last there, as is the case for other releases of Carole's that are on YouTube in full despite no official North American DVD release. (RKO issued a videocassette version in the 1980s, and I believe it's been issued for a non-Region 1 DVD in Europe.) Similar conditions apply for many of the films Lumenick mentioned.
oh, what a nice picture of the late mister spencer tracy, together with the late miss loretta young, in "man's castle". oh, a very handsome, beautiful actor is he. | {

Tennessee Players Say Alabama Can't Win a National Title, Which Seems Like a Bad Idea
Mississippi State v Tennessee / Carmen Mandato/Getty Images
Tennessee will walk into Bryant-Denny Stadium as five-touchdown underdogs to Alabama. Things could get very, very ugly in the latest renewal of a series that used to be a pretty decent rivalry and is now incredibly one-sided.
Some Volunteers appear to have -- in their limited wisdom -- poked the bear by opining on Alabama's national championship chances to ESPN's Molly McGrath.
The most interesting moment of UCLA-Stanford: @MollyAMcGrath just now, plugging the Tennessee-Alabama game, says she talked to a couple of Vols players who said, "This doesn't look like an Alabama team that can win a national championship."
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) October 18, 2019
Why? Who knows?
I guess when is 2-4 and preparing for another savage beatdown, there's a tendency to lash out. Above the obvious motivational elements that make this type of chatter a bad idea, it's also confusing.
While the Crimson Tide's defense has looked more pedestrian than in recent years, its offense has catapulted to a whole other world and is putting up 51 points/game. Tua Tagovailoa has 27 touchdown passes against a single interception. No road team has managed to stay within 28 in Tuscaloosa.
If this is what a down season looks like, every other program in the country will sign up for a down season.
Jeremy Pruitt, who is just trying to keep the train in contact with the tracks at this point, can't like hearing that his team is creating bulletin-board material out of whole cloth with no discernible upside.
Definitely an unusual strategy. | {

I dont know how many people have seen this commercial, but I think it may be one of the best ever….
hey never seen that before, very cool.
great outing you had wed night!
I have never seen that commercial before. It was pretty good!
This commercial ranks with the 1979 "Mean" Joe Green commercial for Coke (YouTube link below).
Thanks for highlighting it, as I had never seen it aired either.

Acoustic sensibilities from two diverse backgrounds converge in a homage to the quintessential sounds of American rock music.
Randy Bales (guitar, vocals) and Dr. Lisa Chu (violin) bring fresh collaborative energy to their interpretations of cult classics as well as their own captivating original music. Their sounds recall a familiar time, with the exciting twist of modern inspiration.
In performance, you can now hear original music created by Chinese Melodrama, as well as their signature acoustic interpretations of cult classics by celebrated musicians ranging from Neil Young, Cat Stevens, and James Taylor, to Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Metallica.
Great to happen upon your music last night. I don't know about the name though, there is SO much more than the sum of the parts. Good big sound, that is hard to do in any capacity. Great instrumentation, love to see you add Riq or Tar. It would be nice to have bios without the distraction of ambient noise, a bit more in production values, (mic and quiet) would serve the curious with the same quality you put into your music. I know you did not ask for this but I could not help myself. I like your music, i would like to see you succeed. Duly impressed nonetheless, and with pretty much all of the musicians that came up. What a treat.
Lemme know if you want photos and video. Your band would be fun. | {

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 6, 2008) - Marathon Acquisition Corp. (AMEX: MAQ.U) (AMEX: MAQ) (OTCBB: MAQ.WS) today announced that it has concluded its Consent Solicitation in connection with the previously-announced merger with Global Ship Lease, Inc. Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, Marathon has received the requisite consent of at least a majority of its issued and outstanding warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement governing its outstanding warrants to allow for the consummation of its merger with Global Ship Lease. As described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the amendment to the warrant agreement clarifies that the "business combination" contemplated by the Warrant Agreement includes a merger with Global Ship Lease and the transactions to be consummated pursuant to the merger agreement (1) by amending the definition of "business combination" to include (A) the merger of Marathon with and into another entity and (B) a merger of Marathon into or with a non-U.S. entity and the subsequent business combination with another entity and (2) by making a conforming change to the merger provision to include a merger of Marathon into or with a non-U.S. entity.
The proposed amendment has been effected by a Third Supplemental Warrant Agreement, which has been executed by Marathon and the Warrant Agent.
The shareholder vote to approve the merger and related proposals is the remaining step to effecting the merger and consummating the transaction. The shareholder meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 12th, 2008.
Marathon Acquisition Corp.'s trust value per share as of July 31st, 2008 was approximately $7.93.
Marathon Acquisition Corp. is a "blank check" company formed to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination, one or more businesses. In August 2006, Marathon through its initial public offering raised net of fees and expenses, approximately $308.8 million which included $5.5 million in a private placement of sponsor warrants that were deposited into a trust account. Marathon has dedicated its time since the initial public offering to seeking and evaluating business combination opportunities.
Global Ship Lease is a rapidly growing containership charter owner and is currently a subsidiary of CMA CGM. of France ("CMA CGM"), the world's third largest container shipping company. Incorporated in the Marshall Islands, Global Ship Lease commenced operations in December 2007 with a business of owning and chartering out containerships under long-term, fixed rate charters to world class container liner companies.
Global Ship Lease currently owns 12 vessels and has contracts in place to purchase an additional five vessels for $437 million from CMA CGM four of which are expected to be delivered in December 2008 and one in July 2009. The merger transaction values Global Ship Lease and its seventeen vessel fleet at approximately $1.0 billion. Following stockholder and warrantholder approval of the merger, Marathon's stockholders will own approximately 66% of Global Ship Lease and CMA CGM will own approximately 34%.
Once all of the contracted vessels have been delivered, Global Ship Lease will have a 17 vessel fleet with total capacity of 66,297 TEU and a weighted average age of 5.5 years. All of the contracted vessels are under long-term charters to CMA CGM with an average remaining charter term of approximately 11 years.
In connection with the its previously announced merger with Global Ship Lease and the required stockholder approval and warrantholder consent, Marathon has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (i) a Registration Statement on Form F-4 containing a joint proxy statement/prospectus and (ii) other documents regarding the proposed transaction. The joint proxy statement/prospectus and a form of proxy have been mailed to the stockholders and warrantholders of Marathon, seeking their approval of the transaction. Before making any voting decision, Marathon's stockholders are urged to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus regarding the merger carefully and in its entirety because it contains important information about the proposed merger. Marathon's stockholders and warrantholders may obtain, without charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov. Marathon's stockholders and warrantholders may also obtain, without charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents by directing a request by mail to Michael Gross at Marathon Acquisition Corp., 500 Park Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10022 or by telephone at (212) 993-1670.
Marathon and its directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Marathon's stockholders with respect to the proposed merger. Information about Marathon's directors and executive officers and their ownership of Marathon's common stock is set forth in Marathon's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Stockholders may obtain additional information regarding the interests of Marathon and its directors and executive officers in the merger, which may be different than those of Marathon's stockholders generally, by reading the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents regarding the proposed merger.
Marathon's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in "Risk Factors" in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this communication. Marathon undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this communication or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks Marathon describes in the reports it will file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the date of this communication.

Alcatraz Wharf is located on the southeast side of Alcatraz Island, in San Francisco Bay, California, US. Classified as building number 33 of the Alcatraz Island National Historic Landmark, its historic name variants were "Alcatraz Dock" and "Alcatraz Pier". It is the main access point to Alcatraz. Another dock on the island's northwest side was only used for rock loading. The wharf contained many of the islands historic buildings, including Building 64 (Alcatraz Defensive Barracks), the Bombproof Barracks, Chinatown, Ranger Office, Garage, Dock Tower, Storage Vault, and Firebox #3.
History
The wharf, or boat dock, was established on Alcatraz in the 1850s to permit the landing of men and building materials to construct a fort completed in 1859. In 1867, the General McPherson was built to serve the island and other military institutions in the San Francisco Bay Area, as Alcatraz became a long-term military prison from 1868. The steamer towed officers, prisoners and food and water supplies to island between 1867 and 1886, landing at the dock twice daily before being replaced.
During the time as a federal penitentiary, a prisoner once attempted to escape on a boat from the boat by dressing as an officer. The Sally Port led from the dock to the original citadel on Alcatraz along a walkway, above a dry moat. Today the dock meets visitors to the museum on the island and is served by boat trips daily. Building 64 lies in front of the dock, built in 1905.
In the mid-1880s, work on the wharf area was undertaken to repair it and to create coal sheds and a boathouse. The fort's engine house was located on the wharf. The oil steamer "Rosecrans," owned by the Associated Oil Company, was destroyed by fire above the water line and sank in deep water off the wharf in the early 1910s. Her crew of forty-two men escaped by jumping into the bay and swimming ashore. Additionally, at just 10 years old, David Finney was the youngest person to swim to Alcatraz and back.
Seismic rehabilitation of the wharf occurred in the early 2000s. The retrofit to the existing wharf and its facilities consisted of concrete demolition, excavation, and installation of tiebacks. Reinforced steel and concrete were added to a new deck. Work was also done on the deteriorated piles under the wharf deck.

Yemen has become an Iranian proxy war against Israel
Katherine Zimmerman and Nicholas Heras
Originally published in Foreign Policy
On Jan. 17, strikes launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen killed three people in Abu Dhabi, prompting Emirati- and Saudi-led military escalations against the group that have caused the deaths of dozens of Yemeni civilians over the past week. The Houthis have warned of more attacks to come and launched another attack on Abu Dhabi early on Jan. 24.
Yemen's civil war began in 2014. Although it has ground on for the better part of a decade, peace seems no closer today than it did eight years ago. That September, the Houthi rebels seized control of Yemen's capital of Sanaa, provoking a Saudi-led military intervention in March 2015 to restore the internationally recognized Yemeni government. In 2019, the United Arab Emirates, part of the Saudi alliance, drew down its commitments in Yemen as progress stagnated and criticism of the civilian toll from coalition activities sharpened. After taking office last year, U.S. President Joe Biden called the war a "humanitarian and strategic catastrophe" and ramped up diplomacy to end it. Yet fighting continues, and the humanitarian situation remains dire as funding shortages force cuts in emergency assistance and civilians navigate the threats of landmines and airstrikes.
If confirmed, the successful Jan. 17 Houthi strikes show an expanding range of the group's capabilities. The implications for the Houthis' ability to act on their threat of further retaliation are evident for the Gulf nations directly involved in military operations in Yemen. But by transferring long-range capabilities to the Houthis, Iran has also established Houthi-controlled Yemen as a staging ground to pressure Israel.

Q: Correct tense form for choosing something from given options My friend and I were discussing some phrases. I asked her to choose one out of three of them. When she did she said: "I choose this one".
Is present simple tense valid here?
Since she has already chosen one of the phrases I think the correct answer should be either "I chose this one" or "I've chosen this one". Our conversation lasted for just 1-2 minutes.

Wrong tire pressure is the leading cause of tire wear!
Check your tire pressure frequently.
I don't think that there is one piece of advice which is more important than this.
The Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) lists improper tire pressure as the most important factor in shortening the length of tire's lives. It is the first in their list of recommended practices which they list as PART.
The RMA reports that under inflation produces needless stress on tires and increases their wear, lessens the control you have over the vehicle and increases your risk of an accident. A tire can lose up to half of its pressure and still appear to be normal.
Pressure which is too low will cause tires to overheat, especially at high speeds and greatly increase the chance of suffering a blowout.
The morning is usually suggested, but if you have to drive to some place to check the pressure, you may get a distorted pressure check caused by the warming of the tire as you drive.
If you frequently carry heavy weight you can check your approximate pressure without a tire guage if you make some preparation. At some moment when you vehicle is carrying nothing and has the correct pressure, measure the distance from the ground to the center of the wheel. Mark this on a wooden stick which you carry with you. Then, after you have loaded your vehicle, place the stick next to the tire and see if the center of the wheel falls below the mark on your stick. If so, add air to raise the centre to match the mark.
When you remove the load and need to drive without weight, repeat this process but release air from the tire until the center of the wheel matches the mark on your stick.
Heat, causes air to expand, thus, the pressure in your tire when it is hot is higher than when it is cold.
This is why you may arrive home with your tires seemingly normal and see them looking deflated in the morning.
This, gauge from AutoAnything.com, is one of the nicest of the new breed of easy-to-use Tire Gauges which I've seen around.
For most cars the best guide is your vehicle's manual.
Look on the driver's door post or the edge of the driver's door for a sticker which will give the recommended pressure for your car's tires.
Another place to look is the inside of the Glove Compartment door for a sticker with recommended pressures.
If both these places fail, try to locate your owner's manual and look up "tire pressure" in the index.
Pay particular attention to whether the recommended pressure for tires is the same for the front and rear wheels. Depending on the design of the vehicle, there may be different tire pressures for front and back. Not following this may result in having difficulty in steering or swaying.
Check your spare tire too!
Always try to follow the manufacturer's recommendations unless you're prepared to have unexpected consequences, some of which can be dangerous.
Since September 2007 all new vehicles sold in the USA have been required, by law, to be equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that will alert the driver when tire pressure drops by 25% or more.

Fast-moving water making search difficult, Linn County Sheriff's Office says
Emergency personnel search the Cedar River below the dam at Palisades-Kepler State Park for a man who witnesses said jumped off his rocking fishing boat after the boat got into the turbulent water below the dam at the park west of Mount Vernon, Iowa, on Sunday, July 7, 2019. The Mount Vernon Fire Department, Iowa DNR, the Lisbon Fire Department and the Linn County Sheriff's Office were observed at the scene. (Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette)
CEDAR RAPIDS — The boater who went missing Sunday at Palisades-Kepler State Park near Mount Vernon is believed to be Ricky Lee Veenstra, 59, of Cedar Rapids, the Linn County Sheriff's Office said Monday.
The sheriff's office said witnesses reported Veenstra went into the Cedar River from a boat just below the spillway and did not resurface.
It is not clear whether Veenstra fell or jumped into the water.
Witnesses told officials they saw the man jump from his rocking fishing boat into the turbulent water below the dam Sunday morning. However, information from the sheriff's office indicates the man fell from the boat.
The sheriff's office and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources are continuing to search the area where Veenstra was last seen, but the "fast-moving water in that area is making the search very difficult," the sheriff's office said. | {

In an article published on May 25, 2016 in Science Translational Medicine, the researchers discuss how breast cancer cells are hunting for specific blood vessels that contain a molecule called E-selectin. (Ref.) This molecule exists in specific blood vessels in bone marrow and this is how cancer cells get there. Once they get there, they enter the tissue inside bones where are protected against therapies and usually lying dormant for years. This is how many years later, a patient can relapse.
This is a process characteristic not only to breast cancer but other cancers as well.
If the cancer is catch in early enough stage, inhibit E-selectin so that the cancer cells will not be able to find their way to bone marrow. However, this is a nice to have situation, but many cancers are diagnosed at a point when some cancer cells have already had the chance to migrate.
The other idea scientist had, was to use Plerixafor, an agent used in human bone marrow donors to push stem cells into the bloodstream for harvesting. Plerixafor, was able to force dormant cancer cells out of the bone tissue into the bloodstream by inhibitiong the mechanism used by the cancer cells to anchor in the bone marrow (SDF-1/CXCR4 interaction anchors the cancer cells in bone marrow and Plerixafor is a CXCR4 inhibitor). Once the cancer cells are flushed back in to the blood stream they may be killed by the immune system or various therapies.
I was specifically triggered by this finding as I already investigated and discussed Plerixafor in a previous post (Ref.) due to its other anti cancer action, i.e. the inhibition of M2-macrophages.
Interestingly, an E-selectin inhibitor, that is easy accessible is Cimetidine (Ref.). Cimetidine is a well known over the counter drug, a histamine H₂ receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production. It is very safe, cheap and accessible and as a result it is given by most cancer clinics in Germany to thir cancer patients, as a anti metastasis drug, at a daily dose of 800mg/day.
I find Plerixafor a very relevant treatment to be applied just before and after effective anti cancer therapies, including chemo. Administered before the therapy will get the hidden cancer cells back into the blood stream and expose them to the therapy. Administered after the therapy will reduce the chance of tumors to regrow (since Plerixafor will inhibit M2-macrophages).
CXCL12 signaling at CXCR4 is important in glioblastoma growth promotion as a migration-directing chemokine and as a mitosis-stimulating cytokine system. Recent developments in other areas of medicine may have made it now possible to comprehensively block glioblastoma's use of CXCL12 signaling. CXCL12 signaling at CXCR4 requires an active intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel to function. Plerixafor (AMD3100) is a new small molecular weight inhibitor of CXCR4, FDA approved to aid in stem cell mobilization. Inhibition of CXCR4 by plerixafor is expected to inhibit particularly the glioblastoma stem cell population by inhibiting that sub-population's homing to the protective hypoxic niche. Histamine signals through the H1 receptor in glioblastoma cells to activate the intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel also, thereby forming a potential bypass for inhibition of CXCR4-initiated signaling. The antidepressant mirtazapine is perhaps the most potent H1 antagonist in common clinical use. By inhibiting H1 stimulation of intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels, it could prevent circumvention of CXCR4 inhibition by that path. The anti-fungal clotrimazole directly inhibits the intermediate conductance Ca2+- activated K+ channel at clinically achievable and well-tolerated doses. These three drugs used simultaneously are potential low morbidity paths to deeply inhibit CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling during cytotoxic glioblastoma treatment. Ref.
I was reading that Cimetidine prevents metastasis by inhibiting processes which allow cancer cells to stick together (adhesion), and thus to form tumours.
I'm not 100% of the complete role of the protein, but CD56 is commonly expressed in various types of cancer cells, and is known as the Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM) and normally aids in cell-to-cell adhesion. I haven't been able to find that much online about it but it is possible that cimetidine would work better in CD56+ tumours.
This was the only thing I could find on the hypothesis.
Thank You, Daniel, for Your kind response in other post!!!
It is important that You get enough sleep !
The biopsy of my primary tumor 4 years ago showed high amount of hormon receptors (100% Estrogen, 80%Progesteron, 100% Androgen).
I had Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy 6xTAC, followed by surgery, which showed only 30% of Estrogen. (I think these changes are due to chemotherapy). I performed profilactic ovariectomy (in order to stop estrogen production).
After ovariectomy I took Tamoxifen for 1.5 years.
In this time lytic bone lesson appeared in spine T7 and with compression fracture in spine T6 (we think it was fast and agressive growing and during Tamoxifen using).
I had radiosurgery to those 2 spots in spine. 3 month later Pet scan showed all is clear. (Just now I realize that this Pet did not included femur, where now I have bone mets).
Then I changed from Tamoxifen to Anastrozole, which is Aromathase inhibitor (as I understand it depleates Estrogens but can upping Androgens).
During these 2 years after first bone mets and on Aromathase inhibitor new bone spots appeared in Femur and small part of old grew in spine T7, but the old lytic spot in spine T6 is silent with no activity.
Should I use Cimetine as I had hormon receptors and I am now on Aromathase inhibitor?
Or Maybe I can use Cimetidine on short periods?
It must be my naturopathic training, but I admit I have had an aversion to Cimetidine because of the lowering of stomach acid which can impact nutrient absorption (B12, calcium and potentially other nutrients) and digestion (low stomach acid has been associated with SIBO and decreased pancreatic output). Now, looking into the timing of dosing, it appears that 800mg before bed did not impact daytime acid secretion. There are likely advantages to 400mg twice a day in terms of keeping a steady influence on the body, as always, advantages and disadvantages need to be weighed. It seems cimetidine/cancer studies have used both dosing administrations. | {

Haven't played Project Cars OH version for a while, now it crashes to desktop.
I started the game and it crashes randomly, sometimes right when a race starts, and sometimes about 30 seconds into a race. Has anyone else experienced crashing in this game lately? I also just started using a Thrustmasters TMX wheel as well so I'm not sure if that can cause an issue with three sensors drawing all that power along with the wheel and in turn crashing the game? It crashes every time I play without fail. Any input is appreciated!
Hey Licker1977 thanks for the reply. So rolling back my nvidia driver should fix the issue? You had success with this? I have the latest nvidia drivers currently and I have a 1080 FE. Thanks!
Sweet. I will check it out when I get home today and report my findings. Thanks again dude!
I rolled back my driver and no luck it still crashes as soon as it loads. Thanks for trying though man. I was trying to avoid a fresh reinstall on my computer but it looks like it might be time.
Might be, or might not be related, but the Rift has been crashing for some of us a lot after the latest update.
Thanks for the reply ELUNO11. That's a good point. Hopefully that is the case and they are working on it. I will hold off for a bit and see what plays out. | {

Hurricane Katia was a fairly intense Cape Verde hurricane that had substantial impact across Europe as a post-tropical cyclone. The eleventh named storm, second hurricane, and second major hurricane of the active 2011 Atlantic hurricane season, Katia originated as a tropical depression from a tropical wave over the eastern Atlantic on August 29. It intensified into a tropical storm the following day and further developed into a hurricane by September 1, although unfavorable atmospheric conditions hindered strengthening thereafter. As the storm began to recurve over the western Atlantic, a more hospitable regime allowed Katia to become a major hurricane by September 5 and peak as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of that afternoon. Internal core processes, increased wind shear, an impinging cold front, and increasingly cool ocean temperatures all prompted the cyclone to weaken almost immediately after peak, and Katia ultimately transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on September 10.
Although Katia passed well north of the Lesser Antilles, a yellow alert was hoisted for Guadeloupe to notify residents of dangerous seas. Strong rip currents along the East Coast of the United States led to the deaths of two swimmers. After losing its tropical characteristics, Katia prompted the issuance of numerous warnings across Europe. Hurricane-force winds impacted numerous locations, downing trees, toppling power poles, and leaving thousands without electricity. The storm was responsible for two deaths in the United Kingdom: one when a tree fell on a vehicle in County Durham, and another during a multi-car accident on the M54 motorway resulting from adverse weather conditions. The post-tropical cyclone caused approximately £100m ($157 million, 2011 USD) in damage in the United Kingdom alone.
Meteorological history
On August 27, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a large mass of convection associated with a tropical wave just off the western coast of Africa. An area of low pressure formed in association with the disturbance the following day, gaining sufficient organization to be declared a tropical depression by 06:00 UTC on August 29 approximately southwest of the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands. The depression initially struggled upon designation, with its well-defined center displaced near the northeastern edge of the storm's convection as a result of strong east-northeasterly wind shear. By 00:00 UTC on August 30, however, an increase in the cyclone's convective organization marked its intensification into Tropical Storm Katia.
Katia tracked west-northwestward for several days, steered by an expansive mid-level ridge to the cyclone's north. The strong upper-level winds that were affecting the cyclone gradually slackened, allowing for the expansion of a central dense overcast, the formation of a large curved band in the southern semicircle, and development of a banding eye on microwave imagery. Satellite intensity estimates increased accordingly, prompting the NHC to upgrade Katia to hurricane intensity at 00:00 UTC on September 1, while the storm was situated about east of the Leeward Islands. Although conditions were forecast to remain conducive for further intensification, water vapor satellite and microwave imagery indicated that mid-level dry air began eroding eyewall convection immediately after the storm's upgrade, and upper-level winds eventually became less favorable as Katia approached a sharp upper-level trough. As a result, the storm maintained its status as a minimal hurricane for almost three days, with only a partial eyewall or banding-eye feature appearing on satellite.
Early on September 4, the hurricane moved beneath a large upper-level anticyclone which provided a reprieve from the strong southwesterly wind shear. Although its convective organization had yet to become fully symmetrical, an eye became increasingly apparent on infrared imagery. The center moved very near the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's buoy 41044—which registered a maximum sustained wind of and a maximum wind gust of —around 12:00 UTC, indicating that Katia had intensified into a Category 2 hurricane. Although an eyewall replacement cycle briefly caused the storm's convective pattern to deteriorate, Katia attained major hurricane status—a Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale—by 12:00 UTC on September 5. Twelve hours later, the cyclone further intensified into a Category 4 hurricane and attained peak winds of and a minimum barometric pressure of as its eye warmed, deep convection became much more symmetric about the center, and upper-level outflow expanded.
Almost immediately after attaining peak intensity, Katia began to rapidly weaken as a second eyewall replacement cycle began; it was quickly stunted as dry air wrapped into the western portion of the circulation and northwesterly wind shear increased. The inner core process was completed by early on September 7, allowing Katia to level off in intensity as a Category 1 hurricane for several days. Increasing southwesterly flow resultant from an upper-level trough pushing eastward across the United States caused Katia to slow in forward motion and recurve northeast or east-northeast through September 9. The hurricane re-accelerated late that day, eventually bringing Katia over ocean temperatures near . Deep convection in association with the storm decreased and its circulation merged with a frontal system, indicating that Katia had completed transition into an extratropical cyclone by 12:00 UTC on September 10 while located about south-southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. Increasing baroclinic energy fueled the powerful extratropical low, which skirted the northern coast of Scotland on September 12, before being absorbed by a larger extratropical system over the North Sea on the following day.
Preparations and impact
Lesser Antilles and United States
Although Katia passed well northeast of the Lesser Antilles, a yellow alert was hoisted in Guadeloupe for the potential of swells. Antigua and Barbuda recorded of rainfall between September 6 and September 7 from an outer band.
On September 4, the NHC noted that large swells likely to cause life-threatening rip current conditions were expected to impact the East Coast of the United States over subsequent days. The increased surf resulted in the death of a swimmer in Ormond Beach, Florida the following day, and a second death off Monhegan, Maine on September 11.
Europe
After transitioning into a post-tropical cyclone, Katia moved quickly across the North Atlantic and toward Europe, prompting the Met Office to begin warnings citizens for potential impacts over subsequent days on September 9. Three days later, the organization raised a yellow severe weather alert for all of Ireland and most of the United Kingdom, with a more severe amber alert hoisted across Northern Ireland, northern England, and southern Scotland; both alerts warned of the potential for gale-force winds. Concurrently, Met Éireann outlined an extreme weather warning across Ireland, alerting residents to the potential for winds, downed trees, damaged buildings, and flooding. Irish ferries cancelled a number of its sails between Dublin and Holyhead. The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute warned of gale-force winds along the coastline of Sweden, although a brunt of the rainfall was expected in neighboring Norway.
A maximum wind gust of was recorded on Cairn Gorm, Scotland as Katia impacted the region, with a peak gust of observed at a non-mountain station in Capel Curig, Wales; these observations marked the strongest impact from a tropical cyclone since Hurricane Lili in 1996. Waves up to battered the western coastline of Ireland, and fallen power lines temporarily disrupted DART services. Approximately 4,000 households were left without power across the country. A catering marquee was blown into the air on a set for the television series Game of Thrones, causing one injury. In County Durham, United Kingdom, a man was killed after a tree fell on the minivan he was driving; the passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries. A second driver was indirectly killed on the M54 motorway after hazardous weather caused a multi-car accident. Farther south in Bradford, an 11-year-old boy was injured after he was hit by a portion of a roof blown off a garage. Downed power poles set several fields on fire. The second stage of the Tour of Britain was forcefully canceled after strong winds littered the cycle route with debris. The remnants of Katia produced damage as far east as Russia. In St. Petersburg, wind gusts up to damaged buildings and left roughly 1,500 residents without power. In Estonia, the storm cut off power to approximately 940 households, particularly affecting the island of Hiiumaa and Harju County, with strong winds in coastal areas gusting up to .

No. 21 Iowa State survives Northern Iowa in 3 OT, 29-26

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy's eyes lit up when he saw a potential game-losing fumble floating aimlessly near the goal line.
The sophomore sprang into action, snapping up Sheldon Croney Jr.'s triple-overtime miscue and saving the Cyclones from a devastating defeat — even by their standards.
Croney Jr. scored from a yard out on the next play and 21st-ranked Iowa State rallied to edge past FCS school Northern Iowa 29-26 on Saturday.
La'Michael Pettway had a pair of touchdown catches for the Cyclones (1-0), who barely survived a massive upset after entering the year ranked for the first time since 1978.
Croney fumbled just shy of the end zone on the second-to-last play of the game. But Purdy saw the ball bounce out, and he sprinted from the backfield to recover it at the 1 in perhaps the biggest play of his impressive young career.
"I saw who was underneath the pile, so I knew who would come up with it. Doesn't that tell you what he is about?" Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said about Purdy's heads-up play. "When I saw him there I thought we were going to be in great shape."
For four quarters and nearly three extra sessions though, the last thing the Cyclones were in was great shape.
Iowa State had to settle for a 23-yard field goal from Connor Assalley with 59 seconds left in the fourth quarter simply to force overtime. Purdy had a touchdown run called back because of holding before that kick.
After the teams traded field goals in the first OT, Purdy found Pettway — a graduate transfer from Arkansas in his Iowa State debut — in the back of the end zone. But Northern Iowa pulled even at 23-all after freshman Will McElvain scrambled long enough to free up Trevor Allen for a 7-yard TD catch on a ball that travelled at least 40 yards.
Iowa State forced Northern Iowa into a field goal to start triple overtime, and Purdy completed three straight passes to set up a hectic finish.
"I don't know if the defense really saw it," Purdy said of his fumble recovery. "I had probably the best angle on it. It was pretty scary. I'm not going to lie."
The Cyclones were the second ranked team to win an overtime game against an FCS opponent. Auburn held off Jacksonville State 27-20 in 2015.
"That's why I love coaching in this game. It demands you being your best right out of the gate," Campbell said.
McElvain finished with 228 yards passing and a touchdown in his collegiate debut.
Purdy threw for 278 yards while completing 30 of 41 passes. Deshaunte Jones caught 14 balls, the second-most in school history, for 126 yards for Iowa State.
Iowa State: Part of the Cyclones' struggles can be attributed to the fact that Northern Iowa isn't the least bit intimidated about driving about 100 miles southwest to play them. The Panthers even have three wins in Ames dating back to 2007. But Iowa State's offense, hurt by some questionable play calling, left a ton to be desired. The Cyclones also missed stars David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler perhaps more than anyone thought they would.
Northern Iowa: McElvain, a freshman from nearby Des Moines who was offered a walk-on spot by the Cyclones, looks like he's got a bright future. His scramble to find Allen in double OT was one of the best plays of the young season. "Really talented guys who can run and escape, that's a challenge," Campbell said. "As the game wore on, I thought you saw his athletic ability come forward."
CYHAWK COINCIDENCE?
The last time a ranked team lost to an FCS school? That was three years ago when Iowa, the team Iowa State hosts in two weeks, fell to North Dakota State. But there's another connection to the rival Hawkeyes that the Cyclones can take solace in. In 2009, Iowa needed back-to-back blocked field goals to hold off these very same Panthers. That Hawkeyes team rallied to win the Orange Bowl that season. Iowa State's defense looked like it belonged on New Year's Day, but its offense at times looked like the first day of spring ball.
RUNNING BACK ROULETTE
Iowa State's muddled running back situation didn't get much closure in the opener. Johnnie Lang (14 carries for 60 yards) and freshman Breece Hall (11 for 47) shared the bulk of the carries until the fourth, when Croney was called upon. He found his stride, finishing with 56 yards on 13 attempts.
It's very hard to imagine Iowa State maintaining its place in the Top 25 after that performance.
"All that work and all that time came to that ball laying on the ground and it was who came up out of that scrum," Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley said. "It actually stopped for a second, and we all watched it sit there."
Iowa State has next week off. The Cyclones host No. 20 Iowa on September 14.

Hands-On Kids' Museums Make Learning Fun Immersion and interaction are the name of the game at children's museums around the country. NPR's Neda Ulaby visited WaterWays in San Jose and the Dinosphere in Indianapolis to see the next generation of kids' museums firsthand.

Roll Up Your Sleeves: A young visitor experiments at the WaterWays exhibit at the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose, Calif. The interactive exhibit — which filters 850 gallons of water every five minutes — invites kids to learn about the physical (not to mention fun) properties of water.

Bringing History To Life: The $25 million Dinosphere at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis features hands-on archaeological digs and one of the largest fossil displays in the United States.
Ecstatic shrieks fill the WaterWays exhibition at the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum. The gray industrial room is crammed with troughs, pools, pipes, wheels and chutes. Water spurts and jets; it splashes over squealing children who hurl bright plastic balls into watery vortexes.
While the children may be soaking up some of the basic principles of water pressure, they're also joyously dipping their germy little hands into the exhibit itself. Some kids even lap at the water like puppies.
But parents can rest assured — 850 gallons of water circulate through WaterWays' two filtration systems every five minutes. One of them catches any material larger than 1 micron, and the other combines two ozone and bromine sanitation systems to guarantee the highest water quality.
Kids love water, but this exhibit is particularly meaningful to children in a drought state.
"Kids in California don't get exposed to the rain very much," says Marilee Jennings, executive director of the museum. She says it's thrilling for these kids to sit under a Plexiglas shell and gaze up into a simulated rainstorm.
Immersion and interaction are the two words you'll hear over and over, when talking tech with children's museum experts. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is the biggest — and arguably the best — children's museum in the world.
At 450,000 square feet and five stories high, the museum attracts more than 1 million visitors a year. Many come specifically for Dinosphere; the $25 million dinosaur exhibit began as an IMAX-style theater, but when similar theaters opened nearby, museum officials decided to "recycle" theirs into a sort of fancy dinosaur terrarium.
The high-tech, large-format domed screen makes it possible for clouds and great winged pteranodons to float across a sky that darkens into storms. Scent pods waft forth faint aromas of pine, magnolia and — brace yourself — sweaty elephant. (That smell, after all, would be nectar to a hungry Tyrannosaurus rex.)
The ancient lizard king is well-represented here. The Dinosphere centerpiece showcases a pair of toothily grinning Tyrannosaurus skeletons menacing a fiercely snapping triceratops. They're all composed mostly of real fossilized bones, the color of dark coffee or good chocolate. Dramatic Las Vegas-style lighting and sound help deliciously tingle the spines of any self-respecting 9-year-old.
But littler kids can get anxious here. So a grotto just by the exhibit entrance offers a safe play space, with dinosaur costumes with soft cotton dinosaur eggs, so little kids can work up their courage before venturing into the exhibition proper. Soon, they're running around and roaring with the big kids.
The games and immersive activities here are designed to capture kids' interest and imagination, but also keep them moving, Durability is an enormous issue. Exhibit designers often filch materials made to be used in factories — they can hold up to the loving pounding and thwacking of children.
The Dinosphere also contains a working paleontology lab and a life-size excavation pit, where kids dig a realistic dinosaur skeleton out of specially composted sandy material, trademarked by the museum.
All of this qualifies as "slow technology," or technology that's created to support play, rather than being the main focus. Children's museums try to integrate low and high technology to keep kids interested in the exhibition's concepts.
A public library kiosk in Dinosphere lets kids from anywhere in Indiana check out library books and send them back through the state's interlibrary loan system.
Cathy Hamaker, an exhibit developer at the museum, says that for an exhibit about castles and catapults, she even took the Wii gaming system as inspiration: "We were originally going to have them throw things at real castle walls, but then we thought, 'Eh, it's gonna end up with little brother getting put in the catapult,' " Hamaker says.
Museum directors know that kids see enough screens, but they also know that kids are attracted to them. The trick for exhibit designers is combining familiar technology with activities that capture a child's curiosity in new ways.
"Technology is a controversy, I think, in children's museums," says Jennings of the San Jose museum. "Part of what we aspire to is to get kids away from the screens." | {

Beer Facts - Guinness Stout
Credit: Dirk Van Esbroeck
Saint Patrick's Day approaches and many will partake of a pint or two of Guinness, the magnificent stout that has a unique and storied past. On that special day, have some convivial conversation or, better yet, start a spirited argument with these choice tidbits of information.
Some "True" History
Not everyone knows the story of the Texan who went to Ireland to challenge the best drinkers of the day, so I'll recap it for you. On a trip to Ireland, the Texan enters the most famous pub in Dublin and lays down a challenge. He can drink twenty pints of Guinness in an hour and he'd like to see someone beat that record. He will go pint for pint against any man in the house. If someone can beat him, he says, he will acknowledge that the beer drinkers of Ireland are superior to those of Texas.
He watches with amusement as most of the Irishmen stay quiet. He even notices one lad with a particularly distinctive cap slip out the back door. An hour later, the Texan is almost ready to give up and claim the title for himself when he feels a tug at his elbow. It's the boyo with the cap who left out the back door.
"I'll take your challenge," says the Irishman, " and I'll beat you too." The Texan looks him up and down and answers, "No problem. We're on, but first answer a question from me. Why did you leave out the back door when I first made the challenge?" The Irishman looks back, takes a sip of his Guinness and replies, "Well, I thought it might be difficult to best your record, so I just slipped next door to Clancy's to make sure I could do it."

Guinness is, beyond a doubt, the most popular beer in the South of Ireland. In fact, there is very little in the way of home brewing of even microbreweries. If you walk into an Irish pub in the South, you are sure find Guinness and your health will be toasted with the Gaelic word, "Slainte."
To be sure, this is the fact in the South of Ireland. In the still divided North, while you will find Guinees in pubs that cater to a Catholic clientele, it is unknown in pubs that serve Protestant drinkers. In fact, entering a "Protestant" pub, buying a beer and saying "Slainte' is grounds for being thrown out or worse. The drinkers in those pubs are staunchly pro-English and one, instead, should say "Cheers."
Credit: Public DomainYour Man - Arthur Guinness
It is an unfortunate situation that the Irish in the north and South will not reconcile with each other but the history of Guinness brings has another bizarre twist. Arthur Guinness was a member of the Anglican Church, that is, he was a Protestant. He despised the Catholic religion, through and through, and the company he started embodied that sentiment completely.
Though all of the beer was initially brewed in Ireland, its headquarters is still in London, England. In addition, until the mid-twentieth century, any brewer who intended to marry a Catholic was "asked" to resign. Mr. Guinness, himself, was, until his death, an unrepentant Irish Unionist which meant that he favored English sovereignty over the country of Ireland. There is no word on whether he changed his mind afterwards.
Though much of this is ancient history, it is still interesting to note that in mans quest for the best beer, no amount of aggravation or animosity is insurmountable. Just some thoughts to ponder as you have those wonderful pints on Saint Patrick's Day.

🇮🇳🇨🇳The splinternet: Indian TikTok edition.
What should we make of this?
I prepared this analysis for members today, but I'm sharing it with all my readers because I know that many are scratching their heads trying to understand what's going on. If you'd like to receive insight on the near future every week, join the community.
Two weeks ago, Indian and Chinese soldiers faced off like stone-age warriors. Clubs, spikes, fists, 13,500ft up in Ladakh, brutalising each other in this firearm free zone.
This week, the battle between the two nuclear-armed powers moved to another arena: the digital market. India banned 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok and WeChat.
TikTok has more than 200 million users in India, and it may be TikTok's biggest market. Some Indian TikTokers have millions of followers, charging thousands of dollars to post clips. Startups like EduTok have been built on the platform.
In a statement, India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said:
The compilation of […] data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defense of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures.
The ban will be enforced by India's internet service providers, who will be instructed by the government to block these apps. The Indian government may also be assessing Huawei and ZTE's participation in the nation's 5G networks.
The ban on these 59 apps isn't the first time the India government has weighed in on these questions.
Data localization has been going on in India for a few years, requiring companies to store critical user data in India. (See my essay on our spiky fragmented world.)
In 2018, India took action against large foreign e-commerce platforms, preventing marketplaces from offering exclusive products, and influencing the sale price of goods and services. See EV#198 for more.
The nationalist sentiment is an important part of Indian technology identity. As I wrote in EV#182 in 2018, India pushes back against the large tech platforms:
For some Indian political leaders, it is as if their nation […] is being conquered by colonial powers all over again.
This feeling, together with a nationalist government, may be behind the heavy hand of some of India's interventions. Says EV reader, Dev Lewis:
The Indian government thinks about governing the internet in a very similar way to China, which is blanket bans, asserting national boundaries on the internet and essentially carving out what would eventually become a version of the Indian Great Firewall.
For companies, navigating this terrain is complicated.
India is a massively attractive market. Only a quarter of India's 1.4 billion people has a smartphone. It is already a huge market and only going to get bigger. The Indian startup scene is booming. More than $14 billion went into India's startups in 2019. Local venture capital is booming. ISP, Reliance Jio, raised more than £15 billion from Facebook, Silverlake, KKR and others.
Phone manufacturer, Foxconn, now has 30,000 employees in India churning out lower-end iPhones. An ecosystem of subcontractors and suppliers has moved with them.
Bytedance, TikTok's parent, hasn't received the same warm welcome. The company has made some efforts to localise its operations. As the WSJ points out here:
Bytedance said its roughly 2,000 employees in India are "committed to working with the government to demonstrate our dedication to user security and our commitment to the country overall."
Empowering local management teams in countries including India has been crucial to the company's success world-wide [according to the company.]
But this wasn't enough.
National sovereignty matters. It is through national laws that this ban will be enforced. The Internet as an independently regulated cyberspace is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
India has demonstrated that it will seek to intervene to further its national interests. Yes, the ban on 59 Chinese apps can be seen through the lens of Sino-Indian competition. But the Indian government had previously made life harder for American retailers, Amazon and Walmart.
Global decoupling is not just a gruelling sparring session between China and America. Rather it reflects a series of different pressures, some security-driven, some economic, but all about sovereignty in the face of technology change, that we are seeing expressed by the UK, EU and, of course, India.
Technological decoupling is less bloody and brutal than fighting with spikes and metal clubs high up in the Himalayas, but it will have very deep ramifications.

A recent press release from Penn Medicine states that researchers have discovered a way to grow human stem cells destined to become mature sperm in an effort to provide fertility options later in life to males who are diagnosed with cancer and undergo chemotherapy and radiation as children.
The findings were published in Nature Communications from a team lead by Sandra Ryeom, PhD, an associate professor of Cancer Biology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and co-leader of the Tumor Biology Program at the Abramson Cancer Center.
"We have never had any fertility preservation options for prepubescent boys," said study co-author Jill Ginsberg, MD, a paediatric oncologist and director of the Cancer Survivorship Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
"The findings in this work are a great first step forward for our youngest patients," she said.
Researchers have known that the production of sperm could be restored in mice that were sterilized after treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent busulfan by injecting immature sperm cells from a donor into their seminiferous tubules—located in the testes.
From this, oncologists suggested that SSCs might be harvested from boys before the start of chemotherapy and reintroduced into their testes when treatment was complete. However, the testes of prepubescent boys contain such a small number of SSCs that, in order for this approach to be successful, the cells would need to be grown and multiplied in the lab prior to subsequent reinjection.

Mouse cells in long-term culture restored the ability of mice after chemotherapy-induced infertility to produce sperm. Ultimately, the SSCs were functional as demonstrated by the birth of live pups after being fathered by mice with the transplanted SSCs and growth factors.
The study was supported in part by the National Cancer Institute (T32 CA009140, R01 CA118374), the St. Baldrick's Foundation, The Garrett B. Smith Foundation, and the TedDriven Foundation.

Series 8 - Episode 1 Winterfell
After eight years, 67 episodes and thousands of grisly deaths, Game of Thrones all comes down to this — six extra-long final episodes where we'll find out whether the remaining characters can fight off the undead army marching from the North, or whether we'll be saying goodbye to them like we did Sean Bean, Richard Madden and countless other cast members before.
Before all that, though, there's plenty of interpersonal drama to keep the high and mighty of Westeros busy as Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) receive a slightly frosty welcome at Winterfell, and Sam (John Bradley) struggles with the gobsmacking secret he has to reveal to his best friend.
Don't expect too much big-budget action in this episode — apparently, the series' feature-length third episode will feature Thrones' biggest and most impressive battle yet, and that's a couple of weeks off — but with the end in sight, there probably won't be much wasted time, either, as the Starks gather their allies for the final battle. Winter is here, at last.
The fantasy drama based on George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels returns for its eighth and final season. The Wall, which has protected the Seven Kingdoms for 8,000 years, has fallen, and the Night King's army of the dead marches towards Westeros. Meanwhile in Winterfell, Jon and Daenerys arrive, and the Stark children are reunited. Starring Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington and Peter Dinklage.

Don't skip this article T-Mobile subscribers, this is one of the best deals I have come across for quite some time. T-Mobile has discounted the very capable and well-regarded LG V20 to just $360, down from $769. We were excited about this phone going on sale for $500 just a couple of days ago, and this is a way better deal! On top of a killer price, LG has a separate promotion running for people who purchase an LG V20 (or G5) through T-Mobile. Buy one, and submit your receipt through their promotion website and they'll mail you a free 720p LG MiniBeam portable projector which sells for $350 on Amazon.
Now for some important notes. The projector promotion has been running since February 10th, and today is its last day. If you want to cash in on the freebie you must purchase the V20 today, receipts with a later date will not qualify. At the risk of sounding like a used car salesman, I'm going to shout at you, act NOW! The only other stipulation that you need to be aware of is that the phone must be purchased on a T-Mobile plan, you can't just buy it outright.
The projector is legitimately a sweet device, with a 720p output capable of casting up to a 100 inch screen. It has a built-in battery for up to 2.5 hours of cord-free viewing, HDMI input, and audio out via Bluetooth. With only 130 lumens of light output it won't be much good in daylight, but it should work great in a dark environment.
My wife has needed to replace her ailing Sony Z3 for several months, and I've been looking for the right deal to pop up to lure me into a purchase. This is the one I've been waiting for. I'm hopping on this promotion as soon as I finish typing the article, and I imagine a lot of you will be too. To take advantage of the offer, head over to T-Mobile to buy the V20 today. Then, after your phone arrives, go to LG's T-Mobile promotion website to fill out the offer redemption form before March 22nd. In about six weeks they'll mail you your free projector. | {

Q: How to install and start MySQL 5.7 on macOS BigSur (Apple Silicon) with Homebrew? I need a specific version of MySQL (5.7) to be installed on my MacBook with M1.
I'm trying to do that with Homebrew.
brew install mysql@5.7
The output:
We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:
mysql_secure_installation
MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default
To connect run:
mysql -uroot
mysql@5.7 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew, because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have mysql@5.7 first in your PATH, run: echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find mysql@5.7 you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/include"
To have launchd start mysql@5.7 now and restart at login: brew services start mysql@5.7 Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: /opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/bin/mysql.server start
Right after that, I try to run:
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source .zshrc
mysql_secure_installation
And get the error:
Securing the MySQL server deployment.
Enter password for user root:
Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Also, I've tried:
brew services start mysql@5.7
And also get the error:
Error: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /Users/vivanc/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql@5.7.plist
Seems like there is a permissions-related problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
A: I solved it after hours of searching, it was because I had not cleaned everything regarding my previous MySQL 8.X installation. I followed this and got suspicious when I realized I don't have most of the folders there. I then did a search for all folders named mysql on my computer and found a mysql folder in opt/homebrew/var. After removing it, reinstalling MySQL 5.7, and starting the server everything is working as expected.
A: When setting up my Apple M1 Macbook Pro I was experiencing the issue of the following error message being thrown:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
My fix was to modify the MySQL config file:
nano /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
Append the following lines:
tmpdir=/tmp
user=root
Then run:
brew services restart mysql@5.7
This fixed my issue, and I was then able to connect successfully with my DB client.
A: If you are running into issues like "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'" or "The post-install step did not complete successfully MySQL", and you installed a previous version of mysql (e.g. 8.x) previously, you may have been at the point where you need to clean everything before reinstalling your preferred version of mysql@x.x.
If you've already visited these to links:
Uninstall all those broken versions of MySQL and re-install it with Brew on Mac Mavericks (Coderwall) + Install MySQL 5.7 on macOS using Homebrew (github) and your're still having trouble with starting your mysql-service, you should try to also remove also /opt/homebrew/etc/my.cnf file.
Remove it together with all the related files too! Summary for an M1 Apple Silcion machine, after uninstalling via brew uninstall mysql or brew uninstall mysql@x.x, please remove:
/opt/homebrew/var/mysql
/opt/homebrew/etc/my.cnf
After this, everything worked like a fresh install (for me). Hope this saved someone's time.
A: While this question is specific to Apple Silicon and mysql 5.7, and I will address that in this answer, I would like to start by adding some general notes to save others time:
Homebrew supports mysql 5.7 for both intel and apple silicon.
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql@5.7
Homebrew supports mysql 5.6 for the intel chip, but not apple silicon:
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql@5.6
If you need 5.6 on apple silicon, it's probably a good idea to just settle with 5.7 since production will need to be upgraded eventually and the differences aren't that big.
In my situation I originally did brew install mysql and it gave me the latest mysql (currently 8.0). When I tried going back over it and doing brew install mysql@5.6, of course this didn't work due to not being supported on the m1 max (apple silicon). I ran into issues then trying to get brew install mysql@5.7 working. I followed some guides mentioning various suggestions. After playing with it for a while, it seems that running two versions of mysql at once will corrupt your mysql files and make it hard to work with and confuse homebrew.
I came across these guides:
brew install mysql on macOS
https://coderwall.com/p/os6woq/uninstall-all-those-broken-versions-of-mysql-and-re-install-it-with-brew-on-mac-mavericks
https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/shell/brew+uninstall+mysql
Before reading further, note that in my situation, I had a zip available for my whole local mysql database needs and could risk destroying what I have.
Warning! Reading further and executing these commands carelessly may delete your mysql storage. Make sure you have a backup.
brew remove mysql is a good command that got rid of my latest install.
I also needed brew remove mysql@5.7 even though this is the version I'm trying to install, but they were stepping on each other's foot...
brew cleanup is nice, I noticed it freed up some lock files.
I don't recall having any luck with:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
but you can try it.
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist has worked for me.
But note there will also be another file in there for your 5.7 setup.
I'd recommend:
cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ then look around to see if you have any mysql* in there. Then if you do, such as homebrew.mxcl.mysql@5.7.plist, then remove it.
These are some that worked for me:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
rm /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
rm /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.default
Also:
cd opt/homebrew/var
Then if you notice a mysql directory in there, remove it.
It's possible you might have docker or something else similar also running mysql or mysqld.
ps -ax | grep "[m]ysql"
(Note the brackets and quotes in the above is to prevent the grep from showing up in the process list and matching itself unlike the lazier version: ps -ax | grep mysql which will give the impression there's an extra mysql process running)
Once you're ready, please run:
brew services list
double-check you don't have mysql in there.
Then double check you don't have any mysql process running:
ps -ax | grep "[m]ysql"
This can happen for example if you enter mysqld for example....
You might need to do brew services stop mysql or brew services stop mysql@5.7 or similar and repeat steps if you see anything on the service list or process list.
Finally, you should be ready for a fresh install.
The fresh installation process should be rather straight forward:
brew install mysql@5.7
brew link --force mysql@5.7
brew services start mysql@5.7
Then run brew services list to make sure your installation worked correctly.
If you see it's green and "started", your installation was successful!
You should also run:
mysql_secure_installation
Then choose a password for root and go through the list of questions like validation, etc.
Once you're installed, you might also run into mysql mode issues.
cd /opt/homebrew/etc and you should find a my.cnf file.
Edit it using either vim or nano.
You should see something like:
# Default Homebrew MySQL server config
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Edit it and set the mysql mode. For example, I don't want the no_zero_in_date mode, so I use:
# Default Homebrew MySQL server config
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
sql-mode="ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
Then restart mysql like so:
brew services restart mysql@5.7
Then double check you still have a green status "started":
brew services list
If you do, then you should have the no_zero_in_date mode disabled.
You can test it with a query:
SELECT @@sql_mode;
You should now have mysql 5.7 running on Apple Silicon and have the sql_mode set.
If you run into more troubleshooting, do your best to get into a known state such as uninstalled, doing a fresh install, or already installed with some version, etc.
A: Seems like I found the solution (or workaround).
After installing the MySQL 5.7 with Homebrew just run:
mysql.server start
MySQL is started and then you are able to run mysql_secure_installation and mysql commands.
A: I got this warning:
You should change the ownership of these directories to your user.
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man1
And make sure that your user has write permission.
chmod u+w /usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man1
I run those two command then it works.

Q: How can I move an unpublished iOS app to an another account with the same name? I developed an app up to about 30-40%. I registered it on my personal App Store Account. I want to move the unpublished app to a new, enterprise App Store Account(it's very important for me to keep the same name). I tought of deleting it from my account and creating it on the enterprise account but I'm afraid something won't work. I wish to do this without publishing the app or as easy as possible. Is there any solution to my problem.
Thanks
A: No, Without publishing the app you can not transfer the app to another account because of Apple Guideline.
App must be in a transferable state. You can transfer your app when it is one
of the following states.
Ready for Sale
Pending Contract
Prepare for Upload
Developer Removed from Sale
Invalid Binary
Developer Rejected
Rejected
Also there is need to delete the app from first account if you do not want. Just create the same app with that information to second account. It will not affect because your app is not live from your first account.

Google's Ingress Game Combines Virtual and Real World Play
"Ingress," a multiplayer game that uses the entire globe as its game board, made its debut on iOS this week. Now, iPhone users can join in the fun of working with other online gamers to find real life portals in their community and progress through the "Risk"-like game. "Ingress" already has about four million downloads on Android devices in about 200 countries. Google has also taken advantage of advertising opportunities, allowing businesses to pay to become a portal.
Avid "Ingress" users are not the type of users that are glued to their phone. Instead the game requires users to get out and explore their own city to find portals at local art installations, historical sites, or even Zipcar pick-up locations.
"According to Hanke [the creator of 'Ingress'], people have rented helicopters to go and capture portals, airline pilots are playing 'Ingress' as they fly around the world and people play with their phones mounted on their motorcycles," Wired reports.
"Ingress" also encourages players to interact with each other and work together to complete game missions. For example, some 1,200 players from 20 countries cooperated in Operation Ode to Joy, a strategic game maneuver that involved "capturing" the entire European continent. Often, these players interact outside of the game, too, planning their moves on Google Hangouts or posting YouTube videos.
"With the social media, plus YouTube plus the mobile game altogether form a new kind of entertainment experience — I would say it's bigger than just a game," explained "Ingress" game creator John Hanke said. Previously, Hanke led the Google Earth project.
By combining the physical and virtual worlds, "Ingress" has found an even more effective way to advertise. Instead of simply seeing an ad at the bottom of the screen within the game, players can be directed to a business to progress through the game.
The pharmacy chain Duane Reade used to host a game asset within select locations, and players would come into the store, find the asset, scan its code, and unlock game tools or weapons. According to Quartz, some JCDecaux display ads serve as portals within the game.

What's On Tap • A FULL PINT!
India Pale Ale / 53.3 IBU's • 6.6% ABV This slightly hazy copper brew pours with a white head at only 53 IBU's and has a low perceived bitterness. With a refreshing malty backbone, this beer finishes with a strong citrus flavor resembling orange peels derived from the large Amarillo dry-hop. If you're a hop head, drink this beer.
American Weiss Beer / 15.1 IBU's • 5.3% ABV Upon pouring, this beer is light in color with very little haze and a very thick head. Similar to traditional German-style Weissbier, this beer boasts huge banana and clove aromas followed by a wonderful taste of banana, vanilla and spices that finishes with a fruity, smooth aftertaste. The fluffy mouthfeel can be attributed to the amount of protein gained from the wheat which also leaves a beautiful lacing in your glass.
German-style Helles Lager / 15 IBU's • 4.5 ABV A light Munich Helles lager pale in color with a sweet cereal nose and a dry finish. An easy-drinking, light beer full of simple flavors. Whether the weather is hot or whether the weather is not, this brew was meant for relaxation, enjoying good company and watching the south Georgia sunset. Knock a few back, because the only thing more persistent than gnats is a pint glass bugging you for more. | {

Thank you so much for coming to Ethereum in search of "1 Xem To BTC" online. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the correct area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these issues are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present built-in difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. A lot of people prefer to use a currency deflation, particularly those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary seclusion, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living pay check to pay check, it'd happen as part of your wealth, with the rest reserved for other currencies. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. You have probably noticed this many times where you typically distribute the good word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What goes on if the price accidents? " So far, many POS systems delivers free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people is likely to be hesitant to keep any. We need to find a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you're considering going it alone, it really is worth noting the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the wages. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's simply a representation of worth, but there is no actual tangible sort of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers assert that there's "actual" value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some type of benefit in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It's also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of dynamics of the process by which it is transacted. All deals over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This is not anything short term wherever your customers can challenge or need a refunds, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, most traders could be wise to work with a cost processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency orders, you need to be sure that security is tricky. With any kind of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal keys and therefore take your money. Unfortunately, you most likely will never get it back. It is very important for you really to undertake some great safe and secure procedures when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This can protect you from all of these damaging activities. In case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be dealt being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that this sort of electronic money isn't controlled by a main banking system and it is not thus subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are a restricted variety of items, this coin's price is dependant on market forces, allowing homeowners to trade over cryptocurrency trades. When searching on the web for1 Xem To BTC, there are many things to ponder.
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about 1 Xem To BTC. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more immune to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and seclusion can easily be achieved by just being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. This mining task validates and records the trades across the whole network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it isn't wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever. Since among the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it truly is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you happen to be needed fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of an acceptable investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the amount of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no requirement for big amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. If you are in search for 1 Xem To BTC, look no further than Bitcoin.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making massive ammonts of money with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin design provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and miss out on very lucrative business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It should be difficult to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small gains is more profitable than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there is more volatility and reward in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital money referred to as Bitcoin. There are distinct from common money we know. This is because they are not commanded by any country or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. Additionally, it brought enormous remedies to the problems of identity theft online. Transactions go through several celebrations as a means of creating trust, but nowadays it's possible to create trust through development of a complicated code by a single party. | {

pickerFields.addDataHelpers([accountTypeTextField, profileVisibilityTextField])
//Setting up date Type field
pickerFields.addDataHelper(birthDateTextField, isDateType: true)
```
### Adding Data
You can add objects with representing titles to each field at any moment. Picker data are refreshed automatically.
```swift
func loadAccountTypeOptions() {
pickerFields.addTitleAndObjectInDataHelper(accountTypeTextField, title: "Normal User", object: 0)
pickerFields.addTitleAndObjectInDataHelper(accountTypeTextField, title: "Admin", object: 1)
}
func loadProfileVisibilityOptions() {
pickerFields.addTitleAndObjectInDataHelper(profileVisibilityTextField, title: "Private", object: "PRI")
//Add an option to be default - starts with the option selected.
pickerFields.addTitleAndObjectInDataHelper(profileVisibilityTextField, title: "Public", object: "PUB", isDefault: true)
}
```
### Getting Data

We see "threat feeds" discussed online quite often, but what are these really and how do we employ them? When these "threat feeds" are lists of IP addresses, domains, and file hashes, how do we then make use of these within our own infrastructure or organization?
It turns out that if you're a security analyst as part of an internal staff, or a DFIR consultant, whether you know it or not, you already have access to an incredibly significant source of intelligence. In this presentation, we will discuss and demonstrate ways to make use of what you have available to you right now to develop a strong foundation of threat intelligence. | {

Race day for the two final Grand Prix races of the 2018 season offered a dry, warm set of conditions, with a track certain to be dusty if not profusely watered.
Qualifying had delivered a mixed set of results, in that at least two of the top teams would probably be sitting this one out. Stuart Brown and Joe Millard, whilst easily winning Last Chance to qualify, were in trouble with Stuart's wrist injury. This is a punishingly fast track, with several high-speed jumps onto hard terrain.
The Czech Cermak brothers had a very fast get-off over one of those jumps, almost rotating past the vertical. Tomas the driver, went with the machine over the brow of the next hill. He almost certainly would be another sidelined. At this stage of the season, wisdom dictates that the best decision is to rest and recover, rather than try to ride through the pain barrier.
Warm-up saw a very fast Giraud/Badaire, likewise Hermans/Musset initially, but then Vanluchene stamped all over it. He was clearly going to finish the year on a high.
Race One – After huge build-up tension, the gate dropped to see Arne Dierckens and Luc Rostingt grab the lead from Koen Hermans and Nicolas Musset. Once again, a terrific start by the team from Northern Ireland saw Moulds and Kirwin sitting third on the opening lap.
All the big names were in the front mix including Vanluchene and Van Den Bogaart. The exceptions were Bax and Willemsen, both teams having a shocking start, with loads of work ahead of them.
In typical Bax style, he got stuck in, passed Daniel Willemsen and began the chase. Valentin Giraud was flying in pursuit of Julian Veldman and Glenn Janssens who were now third. The pace at the front was incredibly quick with breathtakingly fast jumps. Ten minutes in, and the top five were all within five seconds of each other, with Vanluchene at the back of the quintet.
Easily the "best of the rest" were Brett Wilkinson and Dan Chamberlain in a strong sixth and getting quicker. Fifteen minutes in, and the new champions banged in the quickest lap of the race, sending a signal they were on the move. Giraud then went third, just as Etienne Bax amazingly moved into eighth. He was making good progress.
Then Dierckens dropped back with steering damper problems and Veldman assumed control, chased now by Giraud/Badaire. Wilkinson was now fourth, whilst Bax had made it through to sixth ahead of the flying Ulsterman Moulds and his English passenger Kirwin. Both Hermans and Dierckens had gone by this time. Not a good scenario for second in the title stakes Hermans, but Bax would need to win or be second in this one to give himself any hope of claiming that place.
Julian Veldman and Glenn Janssens now led comfortably from Giraud and Vanluchene. That was how it finished, with Bax unable to get into the big points needed to challenge the now stationary Hermans. Brett Wilkinson and Dan Chamberlain had once again distinguished themselves in world class company.
Race Two - Enough watering had taken place earlier in the day, so the track was still damp ahead of this final race of 2018.
Koen Hermans might have retired from race one, but he had this start nailed ahead of Dierckens and race one winner Veldman. Vanluchene and Gert Van Werven came next, with Van Werven keen to get decent points for his top ten aspirations. Etienne Bax and Kaspars Stupelis were much more in touch this time in fifth and not too far off the lead.
The top four were split by around four seconds, with Wilkinson and Chamberlain once again progressing well behind Bax. Lap four, and last year's champion did the fastest lap in his quest to get on terms with the leaders. At the front though, Hermans and Musset meant business and were now five seconds clear with a record lap speed for the race.
Fifteen minutes in and Veldman was once again into second with an almighty scrap for the places behind him between Vanluchene, Dierckens and Bax. Wilkinson looked safe in sixth from a very rapid Giraud. Koen Hermans and Nicolas Musset now had a massive thirteen second lead, but overall victory honours looked to be going the way of young Julian Veldman who was strong in second place, to back up his race one victory.
Into the closing stages and Bax went third in pursuit of Veldman. He too was heading for a podium, but which step? Wilkinson too moved fifth and another great result for him. Meanwhile, the new champions settled for fourth to back up their race one third, to climb the podium second overall. Not a bad way to round out the season.

Ellerbe Road Power Outage Caused by Drunk Driver Crash
Mike Martindale Published: January 5, 2023
CPSO
Ellerbe Road at the intersection of Highway 175 is completely closed due to a major crash that also caused a power outage in the area. Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator reported that a St. Landry Parish man was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and careless operation of a vehicle.
Caddo Parish Deputies were called to the intersection Ellerbe Road and Highway 175 just before 9PM on Wednesday following a major crash. Deputies determined a GMC truck was eastbound on Ellerbe Road and stopped at the intersection. He then proceeded through the intersection traveling east, failing to yeild to an 18 wheeler traveling southbound on Highway 175.
The two vehicles collided in the intersection and crashed into a SWEPCO pole, which then caused down power lines and a power outage. The driver of the GMC truck, 50 year old Christopher Fontenot, was arrested and booked into the Caddo Correctional Center on one count of 1st offense DWI, and one count of careless operation of a vehicle.
SWEPCO had up to 5 trucks at the crash site and are working to restore power as quickly as possible. Caddo Parish officials ask drivers to avoid the area and take an alternate route as work is being done. They hope to have the road open by late Thursday morning.
There were no reported injuries in the crash.

Leisurely savoring a glass of chardonnay with friends and reminiscing on the porch begins an indulgent evening of great wine. As the music turns up, so does the accompanying laughter of shared tales that grow taller with each newly opened bottle. It's a "Golden Opportunity" to keep the magic going and create another unforgettable evening.
In the Arvid household, it's not a party unless the ukuleles come out and the playing begins. With friends and neighbors gathered around the microphones, everyone has a great time performing their favorite songs while the crowd sings along. | {

Josh McRoberts. Who is actually 2nd in the group behind durant in assists/36 mins.
Not many bigs get 4 assists a game or more. That's a good list to be on. Good to see Kevin Love up there. It feels like he was closer to 2 or 2.5 assists per game earlier in his career.
Kevin Durant is putting up freakish stats all around. In today's super sophisticated game based more on flex offenses, multiple scoring options, and a reliance on "efficiency" scoring 31 points (plus) in today's NBA would be like scoring 34 or 35 points in the early/mid Eighties. KD is on a roll.
I guess that Marc Gasol isn't on that list then. He should probably average 4 assists a game -- MINIMUM.
Kind of surprising to see McRoberts with that many assists, he has to be among the most improved players in the league..
If I'm not mistaken, McRoberts has one of the highest assist to turnover ratios in the entire NBA.
I'm an idiot. Disregard my previous comment.
Not surprising really, McRoberts has always had good ast% numbers, he only had fewer minutes and touches. Always been a gifted passer since his HS days. Charlotte runs their offense through him a lot, both from the high post and the top of the key, he's probably their best playmaker, kinda similar to what happens in Chicago with Noah. The biggest surprise in his season is his jumper, he finally developed as a shooter as he was expected to earlier in his career now that everybody had probably lost hopes. | {

I don't know which group exists in greater numbers: the people who want to have this thing torn down or those who want to save it. The vintage clown sign from Circus Liquors is iconic in my neck of the woods. It attracts visitors from all over the state, and some beyond. Made famous by the publication Weird N.J. As an update, I drove past this the other day and the Spirits Liquors sign (it has been Spirits for as long as I can remember) has been replaced by a new Circus Liquors sign. A return to nostalgia?

Respect is crucial in nuclear talks with Iran
At P5+1 talks in Moscow, all sides must learn from past mistakes and recognise that fair exchange should be central to dialogue
Hossein Mousavian and Mohammad Ali Shabani
Fri 15 Jun 2012 05.18 EDT First published on Fri 15 Jun 2012 05.18 EDT

After a decade, we are nearing an endgame on Iran's nuclear file. The initial positive atmosphere during Tehran's talks with the P5+1 (the five members of the UN security council plus Germany) in Istanbul in April had been lost by the next round of talks in Baghdad, in May.
In Istanbul all the players seemed to understand that the most important issue was trust – not the number of centrifuges in the Islamic republic's possession. This was displayed through the announcement of EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, that negotiations would be held on the basis of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT, which recognises Iran's right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes). Such mutual respect must be the basis of any dialogue, and future agreement.
Yet in Baghdad it became obvious there was a long road ahead when the P5+1 went in demanding the maximum concessions from Iran, in return for making minimal concessions themselves. The Iranian negotiators were offered merely spare parts for passenger planes and help with acquiring a light water reactor. In exchange the P5+1 wanted Iran to stop enriching uranium to 19.75% (medium enriched uranium), export all such material, halt operations at the Fordo plant and allow IAEA inspectors to visit sensitive military sites.
This trade-off was considered an insult by the Iranians. And the P5+1's incentive of fuel plates (uranium enriched to 19.75% moulded into plates) or the Tehran research reactor – which could have been attractive to Iran as recently as 2010, when it hadn't mastered the technology to manufacture such fuel on its own – didn't improve the mood. Luckily, this did not lead to the dialogue collapsing.
There has been a long, dark history of missed opportunities between Iran and the US in regards to this. In 2003, Tehran offered Washington a deal over issues ranging from security to its nuclear programme – Dick Cheney notoriously responded by saying that "we don't talk to evil".
A year later, the Iranians responded in kind when they rejected a request by the very same Bush administration for direct high-level talks. Then, in 2005, before Iran's nuclear file was referred to the UN security council, a nuclear deal between Iran and the EU was torpedoed by American opposition against any enrichment on Iranian soil. Almost a decade later, more items are being added to the list of missed opportunities.
In Baghdad, the P5+1 relied too much on the deterrent power of the sanctions, making the strategic miscalculation that punitive measures would force the Iranians to give in. Instead it left the Iranian negotiators believing that their western counterparts didn't want sanctions removed. Furthermore it convinced the Islamic republic that the P5+1 needed to retain the additional sanctions card for the future, as there were so few areas left for them to sanction.
For the dialogue to be fruitful and continue, all sides must learn from these mistakes of the past. If trust helped in Istanbul, in the talks with the P5+1 in Moscow on Monday, we need reciprocity. All sides need to be courageous enough to recognise a fair exchange is a central tenet of dialogue.
Between ordinary people and governments alike, reciprocity can be expressed in many shapes; among them, in the form of mutual respect. In the context of Iran's dialogue with the P5+1, this means considering the concerns of all sides as equal and being willing to give at least as much as one takes. The core objective of the upcoming talks must be to strengthen the agreed-upon framework, which emphasises the NPT as its foundation. Only a commitment to a sincere process aimed at resolving the outstanding concerns of all parties, and most importantly, the courage to ensure the kind of reciprocity that can move things forward will ensure the talks are fruitful.

Classification Of Bacteria Chart
The modern taxonomic system was developed by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778). What criteria is important for classification/ identification of bacteria? Motility, morphology, size, arrangement, staining reactions, endospores found, and capsules **Shape, arrangement, staining reactions, & presence of endospores or capsules are all checked after appropriate staining procedures. Both bacteria and. coli as a foodborne illness. is sorghum gruel a beverage or a cereal product? To add to the flora of classification systems other possibilities are mentioned in Table 2. Guideline For Prevention of Surgical Wound Infections, 1985 Julia S. (Make a chart on your paper and fill in the correct answers). To identify an organism, scientists often use a key. A taxonomy is a hierarchical system for classifying and identifying organisms. Viruses, prions, and other non-cellular organic entities are not included in the domains and kingdoms of living things. List each of the five kingdoms and give two examples of each. I am currently preparing for the COMLEX 1, the first of three national medical exams for osteopathic students, and I just finished covering medical school microbiology on my own. ArchaeaEdit. Biological Classification of Plants and Animals. It is a science, and like most sciences has evolved over time. • Death-phase The death rate increases with very little if any growth occurring. To identify an organism, scientists often use a key. Traditionally this is achieved by carrying out labour-intensive and time-consuming biochemical assays. This keeps the water in the filters from producing bacteria. Gram‐negative bacteria usually have less susceptibility because these antibiotics fail to reach the cell wall as they are blocked by the outer membrane of the Gram‐negative bacteria. Micrococcus luteus (M. Parasites are different from bacteria or viruses because their cells share many features with human cells including a defined nucleus. coli, Staph epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae; add β lactamase inhibitor e. Some bacteria have an extra circle of genetic material called a plasmid. The modern definition of classification groups depends upon each species in the group evolving from a single ancestral type with the basic group characteristics - plants all share an ancestor with simple plant characteristics, but the ancestor they share with fungi is neither distinctly plant or fungus,. Medfools Bacteriology a la chart for the USMLE I Adapted from notes from UCLA. To learn more about the characteristics of bacteria, review the accompanying lesson on Bacterial Cell Morphology Classification. In the scientific classification established by Carl von Linné, each distinct species is assigned to a genus using a two-part binary name (for example, Homo sapiens). Organisms are important to our existence as humans and all other living things evolved from them. The bacteria thus isolated needs to be further identified to genus and species level. Gram Staining of Bacteria from Environmental Sources. These are based on what an organism's cells are like. Both types of infections are caused by microbes -- bacteria and viruses, respectively -- and spread by things such as: coughing and sneezing. Green algae (with flagella). Can you name the types of Gram positive and negative bacteria? Test your knowledge on this science quiz to see how you do and compare your score to others. Bacteria Classification & Structure study guide by fazad_mohamed includes 63 questions covering vocabulary, terms and more. The label must specify the group against which the product is effective. The Approved List is the list of classifications of biological agents approved by HSE for this purpose. Streptococcus pyogenes is a gram positive bacteria. The classification accuracy of all 18 bacteria can reach 73%, and the accuracy and specificity of each kind of bacteria can reach as high as 90%. colonial 3. Among these were the use of physiologic tests to assess the diversity of bacteria, the first codification of biochemical test results, and the initial systematic approaches to classifying different groups of. , with additional corny mnemonics Staphylococcus aureus (virulent) (nonmotile, nonsporeforming, facultative anaerobe) Gm+ cocci Diseases Characteristics Habitat/Transmission Pathogenesis Diagnosis Treatment Prevention *Skin infections:. There are 105 cells in a milliliter of seawater, or on a square centimeter of our skin. 4Acidity inhibits most microbial growth and is used frequently for food preservation (e. A single teaspoon of soil contains more than a billion (1,000,000,000) bacteria. Guideline For Prevention of Surgical Wound Infections, 1985 Julia S. CLASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA 1. The highest category in the traditional Linnaean system of classification is the kingdom. Facultative Bacteria. Eukarya or Eukaryota. Beta-Lactams. CHAPTER 2 BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION Earlier attempts for classification - Aristotle was the earliest to attempt a more scientific basis for classification. Complete the chart below. There re the 5 types of microorganisms according to the classification of microorganisms. The list is divided into several charts with each chart containing one of the classes. 528Hz Tranquility Music For Self Healing & Mindfulness Love Yourself - Light Music For The Soul - Duration: 3:00:06. Organisms in the Kingdom Animalia are: mutlicellular and heterotrophic multicellular and autotrophic unicellular and autotrophic unicellular and autotrophic. When the incoming # from sensor 2 starts to approach the # from sensor 1 it is time to change the Pre filters and possibly the main sediment filters. What is a species? Species are the basic unit of classification. Science of microbiology has developed other kind of classification but medically important classification is as follows. In comparison with defined media, which are good for growing picky bacteria, complex media can be thought of as a crowd-pleaser, suitable for growing many different types of less fastidious microbes. Explain the purpose of Bergey'sManual. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is infectious pneumonia in a person who has not recently been hospitalized. Here are listed the reasons determining the Soviet classification of the dysentery bacteria and the major differences from the International Schema of the International Subcommittee on Enterobacteriaceae. confers resistance to penicillin; e. REMEMBER 1. Suppose you are a laboratory microbiologist working with a potentially harmful microbe. Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors and experienced professionals at all levels. Sanitizers are the weakest public-health antimicrobials. Cyanobacteria – aerobic bacteria that do photosynthesis 1. Lancefield classification: serological classification This classification is based on the difference in the structure of cell wall carbohydrate ie. Today, bacteria are considered as one of the oldest forms of life on earth. Pathogenic bacteria, on the other hand, are the main reason for diseases. , Chlorobium limicola, Chlorobacterium etc. Bacteria are mixed with dyes such as Indian ink or nigrosin that provide a uniformly coloured background against which the unstained bacteria stand out in contrast. Even though most bacteria make us ill, they have a long-term mutual relationship with humans and are very much important for our survival. ArchaeaEdit. The reaction takes place in the presence of light and pigment termed as bacteriovirdin or bacteriopheophytin or chlorobium chlorophyll e. Case Study Lab Report for Lab 14: Streptococcus and Enterococcus The concept behind the case studies presented in Lab 14 used to illustrate the genus Streptococcus and the genus Enterococcus is for you and your lab partners as a group to: 1. They had to know what was safe to eat or to use in various ways, as well as what organisms could harm them. The cell structure is simpler than that of other organisms as there is no nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Most of the cell volume is a vacuole of sulfur. So the original concept that all bacteria (prokaryotic organisms) should be classified in the same kingdom (called Monera) has been altered. This claim must be supported by efficacy. For rod-shaped or filamentous bacteria, length is 1-10µ and diameter is 0. Antibiotic use has this effect not only on pathogenic bacteria but also on normal flora; resistant normal flora can become a reservoir for resistance genes that can spread to pathogens. Under traditional classification schemes Monera is the name of the Kingdom of Bacteria but in most modern textbooks, scientists due to the big diversity in the group that we normally call bacteria because there are such diversity, scientists are starting to split that into two other groups called Domains. IDENTAX in a few words. morphologically similar? Bacteria are placed in different families based on Gram reaction, and other biochemical reactions that they carry out utilizing specific substrates in the media they grow on. Filaments can. All bacteria Droplet nuclei (sneeze) Cooking oil Most smoke Insecticide dust Most face powder Most paint pigments: Superior commercial buildings Hospital inpatient care General surgery: Bag Filters - Non supported (flexible) microfine fiberglass or synthetic media, 12 to 36 inches deep. Most get their food from other organisms such as dead animals and plants. Those cases occurred mostly as a result of water coming from non-community systems (as opposed to community or individual systems). Common Earthworm Classification (Taxonomy) and Characteristics Earthworms are intriguing creatures that play a discreet, yet vital role in the natural cycle of life. The modern taxonomic system was developed by a Swedish botanist Carolus Linneaeus (1707-1788) who provided scientists and students a way to sort. ClASSIFICATION OF BACTERIA ON BASIS OF GRAM STAIN #62313777016 - Bacteria Classification Flow Chart Ppt, with 35 Similar files. Bacteria are especially concentrated in the rhizosphere, the narrow region next to and in the root. Bacteria are mixed with dyes such as Indian ink or nigrosin that provide a uniformly coloured background against which the unstained bacteria stand out in contrast. Different groups of prokaryotes. Example: –Bacillus cereus. In the isolation process of bacteria, a microbiologist can use a number of different media. Microbiologists often need to grow bacterial colonies in pure cultures, meaning that the sample is all the same type of bacteria. Protists are all eukaryotes and therefore all have cell organelles, most of them are single-celled but multi-celled form exists. ADA AAP Classification of Periodontal Disease August 31, 2012 · by Alessandro Geminiani · in Periodontics. Some bacteria obtain energy by consuming organicmolecules. Both types of infections are caused by microbes -- bacteria and viruses, respectively -- and spread by things such as: coughing and sneezing. Archaea evolved many cell sizes, but all are relatively small. Bacteria reproduce by asexual means, usually by dividing. Based on the protein mass patterns, bacterial strains can be clustered hierarchically. Contact with contaminated surfaces, food, and water. Identification is a basic activity and one of the primary objectives of systematics. An example is E. In upright position lower lobes are best ventilated therefore deposition of inhaled micro organisms is higher. Virus Group. Structure And Function Of A Ecoli Bacteria. I frequently find myself looking for this table, I hope it will be useful to you. The following HealthHearty article provides you information on bacteria and help you learn their names through the given list. A taxonomy is a hierarchical system for classifying and identifying organisms. in 1977 Carl Woese suggested dividing procaryotes into Archea and Bacteria groups because of the large structural. Figure out which antibiotics cover which bugs with these tables! Antibiotics: Antibiotics1-Chart showing which antibiotics cover which bacteria. " These are Animal, Plant, Fungus (like mushrooms), Protist (like algae), Archaea (microorganisms), and Bacteria. Some bacteria produce slimes or capsules and these produce exceptional profuse growth above the agar and may burrow into the agar slightly. Thus, development of synthetic culture media and culture techniques have played important roles in the advancement of this field. At this level, organisms are distinguished on the basis of cellular organization and methods of nutrition. 4Acidic products of bacterial metabolism. It is part of the Domain Bacteria. Only a few bacterial species are human pathogens. The highest category in the traditional Linnaean system of classification is the kingdom. The smallest organisms it is possible to observe with an optical microscope are the bacteria (Figures 2 and 3). Most of the bacteria that absorb the organic material in a wastewater treatment system are facultative in nature. The critical feature for all these classification systems is an organism identified by one individual (scientist, clinician,. Most Firmicutes have cell walls, and these bacteria can be found in a great variety of habitats. Each domain is subdivided into kingdoms, followed by phyla, class, order, family, genus, and species. Samples of blood, tissue, food, water and cosmetics are examined daily in laboratories throughout the world for the presence of contaminating microorganisms. explorebiology. Differential staining of bacteria on Gram staining is due to a) difference in the cell wall layer components of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria b) difference in the cell structure of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The bacteria are members of the kingdom Prokaryotae, which is defined in terms of the unique structural and biochemical properties of their cells; more specifically, the organization of the deoxyribonucleic acid. On an average, the diameter of a spherical bacterial cell ranges between 0. Smith ⁄ 1 Simple Models Bacteria are the dominant form of life on the planet. Bacteria; Virus; Algae; Fungi. There is some reproduction, but some cells are also dying, so the number of bacteria remain relatively constant. On any possible, reasonable criterion, bacteria are—and always have been—the dominant forms of life on Earth. —Paleontologist Stephen J. These are based on what an organism's cells are like. Binomial Classification is the system used when giving biota a scientific name. Following present classification, there are a little less than 9,300 known species of prokaryotes, which includes bacteria and archaea; but attempts to estimate the true number of bacterial diversity have ranged from 10 7 to 10 9 total species—and even these diverse estimates may be off by many orders of magnitude. confers resistance to penicillin; e. The bacteria are frequently found in loosely bound chains. coli, Staph epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Guide to Identification of Fresh Water Microorganisms Microscopic autotrophic organisms (i. Filaments can. There are different kinds of bacteria, like beneficial bacteria as well as pathogenic bacteria. The first branch of the flowchart is gram positive or gram negative the flowchart continues according to many other key traits, such as morphology, aerobic or anaerobic, lactose fermentation, hemolysis, and how the bacteria group together. The vast numbers of living forms must be named and arranged in an orderly manner so that biologists all over the world can be sure they know the exact organism that is being examined and discussed. Nothing could be further from the truth. mrsscienceteacher. By the 1970s, a system of Five Kingdoms had come to be accepted as the model by which all living things could be classified. Each item is evaluated individually, and in some cases the ATCC assigned biosafety level is more restrictive. In this kingdom, you can find all the organisms are prokaryotes, unicellular, some may have a cell wall, their methanogens, halophiles, thermaphiles, and they are found in extreme environments. Since the natural classification groups only the organisms using the relationship and few other factors, almost all the organisms that fall outside animal and plant group fall under Microorganisms group. General purpose media/ Basic media. Artificial Classification System: This system was proposed by Linneaus. Precautions must be. But not all bacteria and archaea belong to prokaryotes. Green algae (with flagella). Cephalosporin C was first isolated from a fungus named as Cephalosporium acremonium by Dr. Things that are similar in some way can be grouped and given a name that allows them to be referred to by groups. Black originally devised five classifications, but a sixth was later added. A lot of experts have been proven over the years that inappropriate waste disposal has a lot of detrimental effect to the lives of the people all over the. They produce a green color on blood agar plates (Viridis, Latin: Green). Dissolved Oxygen. Viral Evolution, Morphology, and Classification Discovery and Detection of Viruses Viruses are infectious particles about 100 times smaller than bacteria and can only be observed by electron microscopy. Other prokaryotes in the soil, the nitrifying bacteria, convert ammonia into other types of compounds (nitrates and nitrites), which may also be absorbed by plants. There is no ideal antimicrobic. Classroom Activity: Make a Dichotomous Key - construct a dichotomous key to identify people (or another group of items) in a classroom, using questions based on gender, hair length/color, glasses (or not), clothing color, etc. • 1857 Bacteria & fungi put in the Plant Kingdom • 1866 Kingdom Protista proposed for bacteria, protozoa, algae, and fungi •1937Prokaryoteintroduced for cells "without a nucleus" •1961Prokaryote= cells in which nucleoplasm is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane • 1959 Kingdom Fungi • 1968 Kingdom Prokaryotae proposed. It is still in a fluid state. Classification ka matalab hindi me kya hai (Classification का हिंदी में मतलब ). In 1985 WHO slightly modified. COMMON BACTERIA OF MEDICAL IMPORTANCE I Gram-positive bacteria A. MRSA is short for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Ceftriaxone (Rocephin), a cephalosporin, is sometimes given intravenously to patients with. The organisms with the most similar groups will be most closely related. Classification of bacteria with special reference to medically important bacteria Slideshare uses cookies to improve functionality and performance, and to provide you with relevant advertising. All bacteria Droplet nuclei (sneeze) Cooking oil Most smoke Insecticide dust Most face powder Most paint pigments: Superior commercial buildings Hospital inpatient care General surgery: Bag Filters - Non supported (flexible) microfine fiberglass or synthetic media, 12 to 36 inches deep. 4Most bacteria prefer neutral pH (6. The Kingdom Describe four kingdoms in the domain Eukarya The Domain _____. The Microbe World. Nitrogen cycle. 4Alkalinityinhibits microbial growth, but not commonly used for food preservation. Army Corps of Engineers, was developed by Brinson and is described in A Hydrogeomorphic Classification for Wetlands. Smith ⁄ 1 Simple Models Bacteria are the dominant form of life on the planet. This is due. classify bacteria. 03%) of carbon dioxide. They are prokaryotic, and can move in three different ways with: flagella, cilia, or by pseudopodia. What invention led to the discovery of bacteria and protists? microscope. It is part of the Domain Bacteria. The action of the bacteria plays a major part in determining the color and odor of fecal matter. GRAM NEGATIVE FLOW CHART (The graphic below is clickable. (B) Heterotrophic bacteria (A) Autotrophic bacteria: These bacteria synthesize all their food from inorganic substances (H 2 O, C0 2, H 2 S salts). Contact with infected people, especially through kissing and sex. This kingdom is one of the two prokaryotic kingdoms. Bacteria can only be seen using a good light microscope - and then only in outline. Use a simple classification key to identify an unknown organism SPI 0807. The reaction takes place in the presence of light and pigment termed as bacteriovirdin or bacteriopheophytin or chlorobium chlorophyll e. , polio and tobacco mosaic virus, can even be crystallized. Antibiotics effective against procaryotes which kill or inhibit a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are said to be broad spectrum. Normal or abnormal immune status? 2. A major characteristics for classifying bacteria is the gram stain reaction which distinguishes two types of bacterial cell walls; grams stain dye process stain gram positive bacteria dark violet and gram negative bacteria red. Classification A few different criteria are used to classify bacteria. Classification Of Waste Products There is a need today for an effective waste management since inaccurate waste disposal is a huge threat to the health of people and also to the environment. They are cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod shaped-as shown above), and spirilla (corkscrew shape). Each organism is uniquely identified using a combination of its genus and species names. Coli are gram-negative bacterium with an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides, allowing them to go under Proteobacteria (Phylum). The Three Domain System of Classification by Carl Woese (1977) based on variations in 16S rRNA sequence, divided the entire living organism in the biosphere into three major groups called Domains namely (1). Bacteria analysis and the identification of microorganisms to the species level and beyond is a key task of microbiology. classification of bacteria on basis of gram stain The different types of bacteria can be classified on basis of the different types of responses to gram stain. Types of Waterborne Diseases According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only about 22. The word pathogenic denotes the ones that are disease-causing. mechanism(s) of resistance. Plant Classes Gymnosperms Angiosperms Tracheophyta. A new four-generation classification of the quinolone drugs takes into account the expanded antimicrobial spectrum of the more recently introduced fluoroquinolones and their clinical indications. o Alien Classification o Name That Creature Images [may be used to develop a dichotomous key] o Have students create a Snowman Dichotomous Key including all the images and scientific names Six Kingdoms of Classification Chart ["You Do"] – Students use the chart to record important information during the lesson. All bacteria Droplet nuclei (sneeze) Cooking oil Most smoke Insecticide dust Most face powder Most paint pigments: Superior commercial buildings Hospital inpatient care General surgery: Bag Filters - Non supported (flexible) microfine fiberglass or synthetic media, 12 to 36 inches deep. The amoebae feed mainly upon bacteria and algal unicells, as do most of the ciliates. Classification of bacteria. It is still in a fluid state. There is a wide variety of bacterial cultures available that provide distinct flavor and textural characteristics to cheeses. Procaryotae Murray 1968) Subkingdom 1. 528Hz Tranquility Music For Self Healing & Mindfulness Love Yourself - Light Music For The Soul - Duration: 3:00:06. Biological classification is putting organisms into groups. lower affinity for dihydropteroate synthase. negative bacteria claims must be effective against Salmonella cholerasuis. " These are Animal, Plant, Fungus (like mushrooms), Protist (like algae), Archaea (microorganisms), and Bacteria. Eubacteria definition, spherical or rod-shaped bacteria of the order Eubacteriales, characterized by simple, undifferentiated cells with rigid walls. A lot of experts have been proven over the years that inappropriate waste disposal has a lot of detrimental effect to the lives of the people all over the. Hence the usefulness of clover in crop rotation. dark coffee slant no growth no color change casein hydrolysis catalase no specific medium coagulase test citrate test deaminase (phenylalanine) decarboxylase (orn, lys, arginine) DNAse EMB agar gelatin hydrolysis. This chart sets the content to be covered in the Six Kingdoms Unit. It was based on vegetative characters and androecium structure. 1 µm = 10-6 m, or 10-3 mm. (a) Refer to Explanation 47. Bacteria are present all around us. These organisms are heterotrophs, like animals and fungi that eat other organisms. On the basis of the modes of nutrition the bacteria are grouped into two types: (A) Autotrophic bacteria. Archaea evolved many cell sizes, but all are relatively small. Bacteria (the singular is a bacterium) are single cell organisms that can live in different media. In Europe, EPA, HEPA and ULPA filters are subject to classification according to EN 1822 for filtration efficiency and zero leakage. 1 EPA PPE information 2 OSHA PPE information 3 Standard precautions PPE and procedures used to prevent transmission of infections within healthcare settings provides adequate protection against low levels of radiological contamination that may be found in post-decontamination areas of the hospital (e. Absorbance. Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors and experienced professionals at all levels. Classification of Bacteria in Waste Water Treatment Process 1. Gram Staining of Bacteria from Environmental Sources. Viruses, prions, and other non-cellular organic entities are not included in the domains and kingdoms of living things. Penicillins, Amino-penicillins, anti-staphylococcal pencillins, anti-pseudomonal, carbapenems, and fluoroquinilones. Properties and Classification of Microorganisms Since the cell is the basic unit of all living things, you might think it is a simple structure. Kohlitz on types of bacteria in urine culture: Bacteria indicates a urinary infection, and at times you can get protein in the urine with an infection. Cocci are usually smaller. 2) It also the first step towards identification of bacteria in cultures. What is the classification of malaria? ANSWER. Simplifying virus classification: The Baltimore system 12 August 2009 Although many viruses are classified into individual families based on a variety of physical and biological criteria, they may also be placed in groups according to the type of genome in the virion. The history of the classification of bacteria clearly demonstrates that changes were caused by the availability of new techniques (). There are many ways that the organisms might be classified. Based on planes of division, the coccus shape can appear in several distinct arrangements: diplococcus, streptococcus, tetrad, …. , assistant professor of earth and planetary sciences in Arts &. Linnaeus later classified all living organisms into two kingdoms - Plantae and Animalia. Cavalier-Smith, 1983 (syn. Euglena is a genus of unicellular protists that is the most widely studied member of its phylum. Paper I: Diversity of Viruses, Bacteria, & Fungi M. On the basis of shape bacteria are classified how many major types? [a] Four types [b]Five types [c] Six types [d] Eight types. If you continue browsing the site, you agree to the use of cookies on this website. You need to employ tests learned during this semester and a few new techniques to characterize morphological, nutritional, physiological and biochemical characteristics of your unknowns. They are found everywhere and can be harmful, as in infections; or they can be beneficial, as in fermentation or decomposition. Organisms can be classified into two categories: eukaryote and prokaryotes. These types of antibiotics in the antibiotic list are very effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria which can interfere with protein synthesis. The most basic classification of living things is kingdoms. The international standard ISO 29463 is based on European standard EN 1822 and will probably replace this standard in the future. Some bacteria have an extra circle of genetic material called a plasmid. This brought order to a chaotic situation in which nomenclature varied and diagnostic criteria showed enormous variations using different oral glucose loads. Negibacteria * Cavalier-Smith, 1987 (in content nearly the same as the former phylum Gracilicutes ). Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) have very specific hosts and can be use to ID bacteria: • grow a "lawn" of bacteria to be tested on agar plate • "dot" different test phage samples on surface • after ~24 hr, clear zones appear where bacteria have been infected & killed • profile of phage sensitivity can reveal ID of. This system is based on complex nature of cell structure, body organization, and evolution of cell and mode of nutrition. Bacteria reproduce by asexual means, usually by dividing. Bacteria are said to occupy the large domain of the prokaryotic cell, while the virus is known as minor infection causing agent. Different groups of prokaryotes. Coli O157:H7 fits here because it is prokaryotic (meaning it has no nucleus, or membrane bound organelles), and unicellular. The hierarchical groupings in between include phylum, class, family, and order. These five kingdom system includes – Prokaryota, Protista, Fungi, Metaphyta and Metazoa. Microbiologists often need to grow bacterial colonies in pure cultures, meaning that the sample is all the same type of bacteria. The opening video on a course on antibiotics, focusing on how morphology, gram stain, and other tests of bacteria can be used to create a clinically useful classification scheme. A B; biological classification systems ____ provide a logical way to group organisms into categories by characteristics and show how living things are related to each other. algae) Name Picture Characteristic Taxonomy Green algae (with flagella, small) <. Woese proposed that there should be a new caterogy of classification of life - the Domain, a classification category above Kingdom. In contrast to eukaryotic nomenclature, there is no such thing as an official classification of prokaryotes because taxonomy remains a matter of scientific judgment and general agreement [4]. Infections range from asymptomatic to life threatening, depending on the species and strain of the parasite and the resistance of the host. 4Most bacteria prefer neutral pH (6. Gram-positive: Gram-positive bacteria retain the color of the crystal violet stain in the Gram stain. JoVE, Cambridge, MA, (2019). Methicillin is a type of antibiotic that the Staphylococcus aureus has become resistant to. Antibiotic Overview. 2) It also the first step towards identification of bacteria in cultures. The bacteria responsible for MRSA and acne are examples of Gram-positive bacteria, whilst those responsible for Lyme disease and pneumonia are examples of Gram-negative bacteria. Bacteria are extremely numerous, and the total biomass of bacteria on Earth is more than all plants and animals combined. domain Bacteria Kingdom names are not presently being used in this domain. Today, bacteria are considered as one of the oldest forms of life on earth. algae) Name Picture Characteristic Taxonomy Green algae (with flagella, small) <. The bacteria family tree may be facing some changes due to the recent work of an evolutionary biologist at Washington University in St. ADVERTISEMENTS: One group of bacteria, called the Mycoplasmas, […]. If the microbiologist wants to isolate certain species they can use a number of different media types. And that may change our understanding of when bacteria and oxygen first appeared on earth. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle apparently began the discussion on taxonomy. This imprecision is due to the effect of host responses, site of infection, toxin production by bacteria that is independent of antimicrobial susceptibility, the presence or absence of biofilm, drug pharmacodynamics and other factors. The CDC recognizes E. Cultures for cheese making are called lactic acid bacteria (LAB) because their primary source of energy is the lactose in milk and their primary metabolic product is lactic acid. Impairments of these can be observed as impacts to the flora and or fauna with a given waterbody. By the 1970s, a system of Five Kingdoms had come to be accepted as the model by which all living things could be classified. The nature of individual bacteria is dependent upon the environment in which they live. Most of the cell volume is a vacuole of sulfur. flagella 2. PLANT IDENTIFICATION. 4Acidic products of bacterial metabolism. Antibiotic Spectrum Chart - Coverage for most antibiotics by class As we know, bacteria are classified according to gram stain to positive or negative. Watch the TDS [total dissolved solids] meter. Most strain of β-haemolytic group and some strain of α- hemolytic and non-haemolytic group are classified on the basis of cell wall polysaccharide. CliffsNotes study guides are written by real teachers and professors, so no matter what you're studying, CliffsNotes can ease your homework headaches and help you score high on exams. This Site Might Help You. 7 of Part 2 (Classification), or SOR/2014-306 For a liquid, the UN number and shipping name are UN3082, ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N. To help students get a general understanding of this classification system, explain that scientists have grouped millions of plants and animals into just six large "kingdoms. 1 Some sanitizers may be used on food-contact surfaces such as countertops, cutting boards, or children's high chairs. If the microbiologist wants to isolate certain species they can use a number of different media types. Typically, there are 4 spores per basidium, although this varies from 1 to many, depending on the species. Bacteria Classification & Structure study guide by fazad_mohamed includes 63 questions covering vocabulary, terms and more. rapid movement Phylum Chlorophyceae i. The O antigen distinguishes serotypes (stains) of a bacterial species e. Considering that there are hundreds of infectious organisms, the amount of materials you have to learn and memorize is staggering. Dissolved Oxygen. A major characteristics for classifying bacteria is the gram stain reaction which distinguishes two types of bacterial cell walls; grams stain dye process stain gram positive bacteria dark violet and gram negative bacteria red. The sequence of classification categories can be remembered by memorizing: King Phillip, Come Out For Goodness Sake! Kingdom: Most textbooks now list 6 kingdoms -- animal, plant, protists (amoebas and such), fungi, bacteria, and archaebacteria (also called extremophiles). negative bacteria claims must be effective against Salmonella cholerasuis. Bacteria that retain the color of the dye are called Gram positive; bacteria that don't are Gram negative. They are about the size of bacteria, or similar in size to the mitochondria found in a eukaryotic cells. Characteristic Gram-negative Bacteria Gram-positive Bacteria Wall Structure They have a thin lipopolysaccharide exterior cell wall. Facultative bacteria always achieve an aerobic state when oxygen is present. But in the 1950s and 1960s, most biologists came to the realization that this system failed to accommodate the fungi, protists, and bacteria. ATCC is collaborating with the HCMI to offer scientists a wide variety of next-generation 2D and 3D patient-derived in vitro cancer models, including organoids. Gram positives are violet, while gram negatives are red. | {

A clear message must be sent to those who are doubtful about the EU's worth: we are in this together.
This article first appeared in the Guardian on 29 March 2009.
So far, Europe's leaders seem to be mostly preoccupied with finding national answers to the global economic crisis. In particular, the leaders of "Old Europe" have been reluctant to open up their coffers for the countries of "New Europe". If this attitude prevails, there is a grave risk that the European project will become paralysed. This will not only delay the restoration of economic growth, but will also have dire political consequences.
The EU's new members from eastern and central Europe have been hit much harder by the crisis than the old member states; they are also much less prepared to confront the situation psychologically and socially. Many were gravely disappointed when European leaders earlier this month rejected pleas to establish a special support programme for them. Of course, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was right to point out that each country should be dealt with according to its situation. But she and her colleagues should have voiced clearer and more emphatic support for the new member states.
Emotions and expectations ran high when the new democracies from the former eastern bloc joined the EU only five years ago. Until the crisis hit last year, the enlargement had proven to be a profitable business for Old Europe: high growth rates in most of New Europe injected energy into Old Europe's sagging economies, much to the surprise of those who had predicted that enlargement would become an economic millstone around the neck of the established member states.
But when the financial system crumbled growth rates fell like a ton of bricks. The new democracies were shaken as public protests erupted in some of their capitals, and some governments have fallen. Expectations and confidence in democracy, the market economy, and the larger European project have suffered as well.
If this is allowed to continue, we might end up opening a Pandora's box, setting free the nationalistic and xenophobic ghosts of the past. Some of these democracies are very young and fragile. The optimism created by their peaceful return to a free and democratic Europe has been shattered to a degree that none of us could have foreseen.
This is where political leadership is needed. The leaders of the well-established European democracies must explain to their own voters that enlargement has greatly benefited them, and that it will also be to their benefit to share the responsibilities and costs of steering the hardest-hit countries through the crisis.
There were always exaggerated claims that bringing in the new members would be a costly affair, just as petty and narrow prejudices blemished the willingness to open up Europe's borders for "Polish plumbers".
Any sober appraisal of what has actually happened since expansion would put the problems in perspective: when enlargement was agreed, the combined size of the 10 new members' economies roughly equalled that of the Netherlands. Today, after five years of much stronger growth among the newcomers, their combined GNP is somewhat smaller than that of the Benelux countries.
Thus, the sheer magnitude of the task of reviving these economies is not overwhelming. But the political consequences of failure to deliver a message of genuine European solidarity will be. This is indeed "the hour of Europe".
I remember when this phrase was last used: in 1991, when the chairman of the European Council of Ministers visited what was still Yugoslavia and eagerly accepted the empty promises of Slobodan Milosevic and his clique that they were ready to accept European pleas for a peaceful resolution to the conflicts there. The chairman stated: "This is the hour of Europe, not the hour of the Americans." As we all are embarrassingly aware, it was the Americans who had to produce the intervention that finally stopped the bloodshed in the Balkans.
But this time we Europeans cannot expect others to step in. Turning to the International Monetary Fund or others when it comes to pulling our chestnuts out of the fire will not bring us the needed confidence in the European project. So this must be the hour of Europe.
And that means that a clear message should be sent to those who are becoming doubtful about the EU's worth: We are in this together. We will find common European solutions. Solidarity among members is not just something we talk about when the future looks bright and rosy. | {

I picked up my Jackson Kayak "Cuda" last week. After researching how I wanted to do my rigging, I'd like to share what I decided to do in case it helps anyone looking to do something similar.
Scupper Hole Transducer Mount by Lowrance Cabela's/Bass Pro/Gander Mtn.
Lowrance Elite 4x DSI Sonar Cabela's/Bass Pro/Gander Mtn.
Stealth Cam 12v Battery w/ Waterproof Box Cabela's/Bass Pro/Gander Mtn.
1) First I mounted the transducer, following the very simple Lowrance mount instructions. All the hardware is included in the kit.
2) Next I prepared the wiring to connect to the battery. To do this, you must cut the connector that would otherwise go to the trail cam and separate the wires into ground and positive.
3) Assemble the inline fuse and holder.
4) Connect the ground directly to ground wire that is attached to the DSI filter. Connect the positive battery wire to one end of the inline fuse holder, and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the wire coming from the DSI filter. Now you're ready to plug in to the unit.
5) This is a picture of the battery and the Velcro® I used to mount it inside the hull of the boat. The battery is charging in these pictures, so don't let the other wire confuse you! This battery came with a charger and the waterproof box. I had to trim the knobs on the bottom of the battery with a knife to get the Velcro® to sit flush.
6) Mounted the battery to the hull with Velcro® (an additional strap comes with the battery box that you could also use to secure to the inside of the kayak).
7) I bundled my wiring, secured it with a bungee, and rested it between battery and foam, leaving the transducer and unit wire to run out the middle console lid.
8) I then just mounted the main unit.
9) I ran the wires under the lid, and plugged in the main unit!
Any questions at all, just let me know! I chose this setup because of its simplicity. It's more portable than a lot of other setups out there, and there is no drilling into the hull. Worst case scenario, you are just buying a new center lid or swapping out the STP. Now if I can just figure out where to mount my GPS... Happy rigging!
About the author: Matt Kramp is new to YakAngler and new to yak fishing. He purchased a Jackson Cuda a few weeks back and wanted to share his experience with installing a depth finder.
Nice Job. I am planning on doing the same on my Cuda.
Thanks! The waffle material is called Silent Traction Padding (STP). I found it at Outdoor Provision Co. although you may have to order something like that off of the internet. It's really helped with noise, especially around my seat. I have the wires coming out from the rubber gasket around the console because I didn't want to leave my wires exposed all of the time (i.e. during transport). I also didn't want to introduce another hole and the cost that it would incur when I needed to seal it. I tossed around with using the RAM mount but decided I liked the sturdy wide base. I still have it sitting around though so let me know if you like it!
Your set-up looks great! I just bought a lowrance elite 4 and a RAM mount, and plan on doing pretty much the same thing. I have one question, though. I've read on another site that the Lowrance scupper hole transducer mount does not fit the scupper holes on the jackson cuda (or in my case the cuda 12). Judging by your picture, it looks like it fits pretty well but I wanted to make sure before I spent the money. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
It fits just fine on my Cuda 12. It doesn't sit completely inside the scupper hole. Meaning, it does protrude about a half inch from the bottom. But, when the kayak is sitting on flat ground, it is clear from the ground. The only time I could see it being a problem is if you run shallow creeks. In that case, you may want to find a way to modify the mount to make it removable.
Thanks for the help! I guess I was thinking that it was indeed a removable transducer mount that I could store out of the way when I was dragging the kayak or not using the fish finder. This is my first time using a fish finder so I'm new to everything about it, but I just thought that the mount would just slide in and out without much effort. I do a good bit of river fishing and the conditions can sometimes be pretty shallow, even forcing me to get out and pull the kayak. Any other suggestions/adv ice??
Yeah it isn't terribly easy to remove as-is but I've seen people modify the cap so that it will easily slide in and out. I will probably look into it myself, eventually. If you don't put the cap on at all, it is very removable so you could start with that and decide later how you want to modify the cap or whether you care to have it at all.
When you cut the wire for the camera how to you know which is positive and which is neg ?.. Thank you !!!
I cut the AC adapter off and then separated the two wires from each other. Then I stripped about 2 inches of each one and went outside and tested each wire using my fish finder. You just have to guess at first (50/50 chance of getting it right), but once you get the right connection and your fish finder cuts on, you can then mark the hot wire. Just make sure that you mark it somehow so you don't have to repeat the process when you get ready to make your connections.
Awesome thank you for your help one more question the red light when you plug in the charger... Does it turn green when it is done charging?
I'll try to help answer your questions, But I don't use this battery.
Sounds like something is up with the wiring out of the battery box. I would use a volt meter to check the voltage across the 2 wire coming out of the box.
If there is 0 Volts there is something wrong with the box, the wiring, or it has a fuse in it that is blown.
If there is less then 10 volts and you have over 12 volts or more at the battery terminals there is a poor connection or something is corroded. I am assuming because this is new it is not corroded.
If you have 12 Volts on the wires try switching them you have them backwards.
Thanks Greg. It's just a 12 volt battery nothing special. Do I even need a inline fuse? No more amps than its pulling just kind of seems pointless. Anyways thanks.
I am installing an Elite -4 DSI in my JK Big Tuna. I was wondering how you chose which scupper hole to use for the transducer, i.e. forward or aft hole? I want to protect the transducer when I drag the yak (thus a forward hole installation) but also protect it from shallow/river downed tree branches (maybe an aft location). Any suggestions?
When I first mounted one in my Cuda I put it in the forward scupper for convenience like the author of this article did. I did find that in rough and choppy water that location was getting aerated and giving me poor performance. When I moved it under my seat I did not have that problem.
When I installed it into my Tuna I put it under the seat because I knew from paddling the Tuna solo the front scuppers come out of the water a lot.
The Lowrance transducer is small enough it fits right up into the Jackson scuppers and is well protected. The only way it would be better protected would be an in hull installation.
1. What does the volt reading on the FF mean?
2. I have an Elite 3x and cannot figure out how to remove the unit from the base without breaking it. Any ideas?
The Volt reading tells you what your battery voltage is so you can see if your battery is dying. You can also use it for troubleshooting.
I can't answer you second question as I used the RAM mounting system and no longer have the unit.
do you have the plug in the finder while trying to take it off? If not it should come right off the unit easily unplugged.
what type of fuse are you using? Blade type fuse or cartridge? | {

Necrotising otitis externa can be a devastating form of otitis externa. It typically tends to affect patients who are immunocompromised or diabetic. To date, there is very little in the literature about necrotising otitis externa in the immunocompetent patient population.
The present paper discusses both the clinical and radiological findings in three cases of necrotising otitis externa in an immunocompetent patient cohort. The common factor among all three patients was their advanced age.
Diagnosing necrotising otitis externa can be challenging because of the potentially non-specific symptoms and the absence of early radiological signs, particularly if patients are neither immunocompromised nor diabetic. Elderly patients should be considered in the same light as immunocompromised and diabetic patients in the context of necrotising otitis externa.
Necrotising (or malignant) otitis externa is a well-recognised and potentially life-threatening form of otitis externa, which typically occurs in patients who are immunocompromised, particularly those with diabetes. Historically, it has not been identified in immunocompetent individuals.
This paper reports three cases of necrotising otitis externa in patients who had no underlying medical condition causing them to be immunocompromised, though a common factor in all three cases was their advanced age.
An 87-year-old man presented in April 2011 with a 6-week history of left-sided otalgia and otorrhoea. Examination revealed polypoidal tissue in the ear canal. This tissue was biopsied and histology showed inflammatory granulation tissue. Audiometry showed a moderate-to-severe mixed hearing loss in the left ear. An ear swab grew pseudomonas.
The patient was treated with both oral and topical ciprofloxacin for two weeks. However, the otalgia intensified, and in May he developed a left facial nerve palsy (House–Brackmann grade V). He was admitted for pain control and intravenous Tazocin®. The findings of blood tests, including serum glucose, were normal, apart from raised white blood cell count and C-reactive protein (CRP), consistent with infection. At this time, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the temporal bones showed no abnormality. The otalgia improved, but his facial nerve palsy progressed to House–Brackmann grade VI. An isotope bone scan showed uptake in the left temporal bone consistent with osteomyelitis, and so the patient was readmitted for intravenous Tazocin. He was discharged after two weeks, and, on the advice of the microbiology department, given a further two weeks of oral ciprofloxacin and flucloxacillin. This resolved his pain, but not his facial nerve palsy.
In August 2011, the pain returned, radiating to the throat, with a global deterioration of the patient's health. Evaluation of inflammatory markers showed a rising CRP level. A repeat CT scan (Figure 1) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in September 2011 (Figure 2) showed a mass involving the skull base, with extensive destruction of the temporal bone and extension into the retropharyngeal space. Clinically, the patient responded well to intravenous antibiotics, although he had now developed a left vagal nerve palsy, causing choking and difficulty swallowing. The ear canal had healed and the tympanic membrane looked normal, so a neoplastic process was considered. However, it was felt that the patient was unsuitable for any form of radical treatment for a malignancy and obtaining a further biopsy would be a relatively major procedure.
The patient continued to improve clinically with intravenous antibiotics, and he was discharged on oral ciprofloxacin and flucloxacillin for two months. A further MRI scan (Figure 3) performed three months after discharge from hospital showed a reduction in the size of the mass evident on the first scan.
On review in April 2012, the patient's swallowing had returned to normal, and flexible laryngoscopy confirmed partial recovery of vagal nerve function. An MRI scan conducted in June 2012 showed almost complete resolution of the retropharyngeal and skull base mass. However, there was no recovery of facial nerve function. He was referred on to the plastic surgeons, who undertook static facelift surgery coupled with a tarsorrhaphy in 2014.
As of February 2017, although clinically well, the patient remains under the care of the physicians for dementia assessment.
A 93-year-old man, with a history of atrial fibrillation, hypertension and hypothyroidism, presented to the ENT clinic in August 2013 with left-sided pain, hearing loss and purulent otorrhoea, in keeping with otitis externa. Initial examination demonstrated granulation tissue in the floor of the ear canal and facial nerve palsy (House–Brackmann grade II). He had no significant underlying medical condition causing him to be immunocompromised, and findings of blood tests, including serum glucose, were normal. He was admitted for intravenous antibiotics (Tazocin) and intensive topical treatment to the ear canal, including daily micro-suctioning. Pseudomonas and candida were isolated from the ear swab. An audiogram showed a moderate-to-severe mixed hearing loss. An initial CT scan of the temporal bones showed no evidence of osteomyelitis.
Having completed a 15-day course of intravenous ceftazidime, the patient was discharged on oral ciprofloxacin for 4 weeks. Although his pain improved, the facial nerve palsy progressed to House–Brackmann grade VI. A repeat CT scan conducted in September 2013 (Figure 4) now showed destruction in the bone of the ear canal floor. An MRI scan showed an inflammatory mass in the left temporal bone, with apparent invasion of the stylomastoid foramen. In view of the radiology findings, he was readmitted for further intravenous antibiotic treatment (ceftazidime) and a biopsy of the ear canal, which confirmed inflammatory granulation tissue. His pain resolved completely and he was discharged with six weeks of oral ciprofloxacin.
Upon review in October 2014, there had been no recovery of facial nerve function. In December 2014, the patient underwent a static facelift and tarsorrhaphy under the plastic surgeons. As of April 2017, he remains clinically well.
A 93-year-old woman presented to the emergency department in January 2014 with a severe headache and a hoarse voice. Over the preceding three months, she had been seen on nine separate occasions with chronic otitis externa, which was treated with a combination of oral and topical antibiotics. She was not immunocompromised or diabetic, as confirmed via blood tests.
Examination revealed a right vocal fold palsy, but facial nerve function was normal. Otoscopy showed a right ear canal polyp occluding the canal, but no active otorrhoea. Clinically, the patient had otitis externa. She was admitted for intravenous co-amoxiclav and was also started on topical Gentisone® HC.
A CT scan of the temporal bones was unimpressive, but revealed bony destruction of: the right mastoid air cells, the petrous part of the temporal bone and the occipital bone. No intracranial abscesses were seen. Based on microbiology advice, treatment was changed to intravenous meropenem and topical ciprofloxacin.
Antimicrobial therapy continued for a total of three weeks, in hospital, with nasogastric tube feeding. By discharge, the patient's swallowing problems and vagal nerve palsy had resolved. Oral ciprofloxacin was prescribed for a further three weeks after discharge. As of March 2017, she remains asymptomatic.
Necrotising otitis externa is a well-recognised form of otitis externa in the diabetic and immunocompromised patient population. The most commonly implicated pathogenic organism is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and this correlates precisely with our case series. It is hypothesised that the pathogenesis of the condition relates to microangiopathy, hypoperfusion and diminished host resistance due to diabetes. 1 , 2 The infection is thought to spread from the external auditory canal, to the temporal bone and skull base, via the fissure of Santorini and the osseocartilaginous junction.
To date, there have been very few reports of this severe form of otitis externa in immunocompetent individuals. Su et al. reported one such case, but it was complicated by preceding mastoid surgery, 3 and so may not represent a true case of temporal bone osteomyelitis arising from otitis externa. In the case report by Cunningham et al., the isolated organism was aspergillus and not pseudomonas. 4 Extensive review of the English-language literature failed to identify any other cases of necrotising otitis externa due to pseudomonas affecting immunocompetent patients.
In all three of our cases, the diagnosis of necrotising otitis externa was not considered at the time of initial presentation, as none of the patients were diabetic and none had any other medical conditions associated with immune system impairment. The only common factor in our series appears to be advanced age. It is widely accepted that ageing diminishes the host's ability to mount an effective immune response. 5 Factors such as age-related dysregulation of the cytokine milieu, defective haematopoiesis and chronic thymic involution have all been implicated in age-related immunoscenescence. 5 – 7
Interestingly, perhaps because of the perceived lack of association of the condition to the elderly and subsequent delayed diagnoses, all of the patients developed cranial nerve palsies: a facial nerve palsy (House–Brackmann grade VII) in cases one and two, and a vagal nerve palsy (grade X) in cases one and three. Although the vagal nerve palsies recovered, the facial nerve palsies did not. According to Illing and Olaleye, 2 the mortality rate rises from 33 per cent to 80 per cent with cranial nerve involvement, although this has been disputed in other studies which suggest a comparable survival rate in both groups. 8
Another interesting point in cases one and two was that initial CT scans were reported as normal, and bone destruction only became apparent later once cranial nerve involvement had progressed. This aptly illustrates the limitations of reliance on CT scans alone, and underlines the importance of using CT in combination with other imaging modalities like radioisotope scanning and MRI.
Whilst CT scans can be useful in determining the location and extent of disease, particularly bony erosion, pathology tends to show late on CT because at least a third of the temporal bone must be eroded before pathology becomes obvious radiologically. As a corollary, CT is of limited utility in monitoring the treatment of infection because bone remineralisation continues long after resolution. 9
Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for illustrating soft tissue changes like dural enhancement and involvement of medullary bone spaces, which manifest as abnormal marrow signalling. However, as with CT, these changes can persist long after infection resolution, making MRI unsuitable for confirming resolution. 10
• Necrotising otitis externa is potentially life-threatening and carries significant morbidity associated with cranial nerve involvement
• Late diagnosis is commonplace
• Radiological findings may not reflect the true clinical picture
• Necrotising otitis externa can also be found in immunocompetent patients, particularly in those of advancing age
• Elderly patients should be considered in the same light as immunocompromised individuals in the context of necrotising otitis externa
• Treatment must be initiated on clinical suspicion, even if no radiological findings, and later repeated, potentially with alternative imaging modalities
Radioisotope scans are useful adjuncts to both CT and MRI; however, they are not widely available in day-to-day practice. Technetium-99 m radioisotope methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy offers a sensitivity of 100 per cent in diagnosing necrotising otitis externa, and allows earlier diagnosis of skull base osteomyelitis than CT alone. 11 Unfortunately, technetium-99 m (methylene diphosphonate), though useful, cannot discriminate between infective and non-infective processes. 10 , 11 This mandates the exclusion of a neoplastic process before confirming a diagnosis of necrotising otitis externa. Furthermore, technetium-99 m methylene diphosphonate remains positive for as long as bone repair continues, rendering it unreliable in the follow up of patients with necrotising otitis externa. 11
Gallium citrate Ga 67 radioisotope scanning, if available, is particularly useful for diagnosis and follow up. This is because the isotope binds to bacteria, and is absorbed by both macrophages and other cell components of the reticuloendothelial system, making the detection of infection more predictable: normal uptake indicates resolution of infection. 12 , 13
In conclusion, whilst traditional teaching has centred on considering the possibility of necrotising otitis externa in diabetics and patients who are otherwise immunocompromised, we propose that a third group, the very elderly patient population, ought to be considered in the same light. Given that each of our patients developed cranial nerve palsies, doctors treating the elderly for otitis externa need to ensure that these patients are closely monitored. Furthermore, clinicians should have a lower threshold for initiating aggressive medical treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Our series also shows that early imaging with CT scans may be misleading, and imaging should be repeated if there is a suggestion of clinical progression, particularly cranial nerve involvement.
We thank the medical records department at Southend University Hospital for its help in obtaining patient notes.

The 1989 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchise's 24th season in the National Football League (NFL). The Falcons drafted Deion Sanders with their first round pick in the NFL Draft. Marion Campbell retired after the twelfth game of the season.
Despite having Sanders in their defensive backfield, the Falcons surrendered 7.59 yards per pass attempt (including quarterback sacks) in 1989, one of the ten worst totals in NFL history.
The latter part of the season was marred by two tragedies. On November 24, rookie offensive tackle Ralph Norwood was killed in an automobile accident eight miles from the Falcons' training facilities. Just under a month later, on December 19, backup tight end Brad Beckman was also killed in an auto accident. It marked the death of three players of the team in the space of two seasons (the previous year, cornerback David Croudip died of an overdose).

Tommy Robinson supporters arrested after London protest
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/56091/tommy-robinson-supporters-arrested-after-london
A group of Tommy Robinson supporters has blocked off a major road in central London in a tense stand-off with police, who made several arrests.
Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the capital and blocked off the road around Trafalgar Square.
Rows of riot police blocked the gate down the Mall leading to Buckingham Palace, where the Royal Family has gathered on the balcony after celebrating Trooping the Colour just hours earlier.
The protest on Saturday afternoon was the latest in what appears to be a bid to secure the release from jail of the former leader of the English Defence League (EDL).
Supporters chanted "Free Tommy Robinson" and hurled missiles and smoke bombs at police. | {

Is it thought that analytic philosophy is in decline after the linguistic turn?
I would like to know from someone who has closely followed contemporary analytic philosophy if this idea has any currency. So by "is it thought" I mean is it a general trend or mood. The reason for asking is that I read this essay by PMS Hacker, which seems to hold that analytic philosophy "ended" with a purely negative, ordinary language analysis, and that current trends in analytic philosophy are extravagant or pernicious theories caused by philosophers running out of things to talk about (he calls these philosophers topic-starved).
I also saw a book by Peter Unger that seems to make a similar argument, the blurb states "Peter Unger maintains that mainstream philosophy still offers hardly anything beyond concretely empty ideas", and it is similarly disparaging to post 1960s analytic philosophy.
So what I would like to know is if these two criticisms, that point to a decline in philosophy, are symptomatic of a wider trend or simply coincidental?

Have you read the interview at Three Quarks Daily? 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2014/06/…. He comes off sounding very arrogant. But if anyone should understand the short commings of contemporary (analytic) philosophy, it ought to be one of it's practitioners. – jimpliciter Feb 3 '16 at 23:06
@user259242 Take these grandiose pronouncements with a grain of salt :) In a similar vein Sokal and Brichmont accuse Deleuze of filling his works with sciency sounding nonsense to impress clueless intellectuals. – Conifold Feb 4 '16 at 1:02
@Conifold The difference being: Sokal was a physicist (actually not known for any scientific work, but for his eponymous 'hoax') who, judging from his writing, understood very little philosophy. Deleuze was a professor of philosophy, had written many books of philosophy, and was respected as a scholar and researcher of philosophy. So, their respective opinions of philosophy are not necessarily equal. Of course, I agree that all thoughts should be taken 'with a grain of salt'. – M. le Fou Feb 4 '16 at 2:41
@Conifold and to my mind does not constitute a serious philosophical criticism. Deleuze seemed to pay close attention to many fields of contemporary science during his life and this can be seen from the frequency with which such topcis appear in his work. The charge of being deliberately obscurantist in order to fool 'clueless intellectuals' could equally well be made of absolutely anybody. Why, I could say this of Sokal. What it doesn't do, is engage with the work it is criticising (an important part of any serious scholarship) in any meaningful way. – M. le Fou Feb 4 '16 at 2:59
@user259242 Sokal was not claiming to be a philosopher. He was arguing that some philosophers appear to misuse and misrepresent scientific concepts and terminology in an apparent effort to bamboozle the reader into thinking they are saying something profound. At my undergraduate level I am not familiar with Deleuze's work, but I am puzzled as to why anyone would continue to discredit logical positivism when it has been roundly dismissed by Godel and Russell almost a century ago. However, it's a valid question that you ask. – Nick Feb 4 '16 at 3:15
Good overviews of the more recent history of analytic philosophy are Burge's Philosophy of Language and Mind: 1950-1990 and Philosophy of Mind: 1950-2000 (ch.20), the philosophy of science side in a very lively and polemical form is described in Zammito's Nice Derangement of Epistemes, "the best history of post-positivist philosophy and sociology of science we are likely ever to get", according to Giere's review.
That the linguistic turn has exhausted itself is generally shared. Burge writes:
"The philosophy of language became a vibrant, semi-autonomous discipline in the 1960s and early 1970s. In fact, it was considered by many to be the new "first philosophy... But by the late 1970s or early 1980s philosophy of language no longer seemed the obvious propaedeutic for dealing with central philosophical problems. As I have intimated, one ground for this shift was that many philosophers felt that philosophy of language had done its job that the natural development of philosophical reasoning led into the philosophy of mind, or other adjacent areas".
Zammito is even more critical of the impact of the linguistic turn on the philosophy of science, but he considers Quine's naturalized epistemology, cleared from his residual physicalism and behaviorism, a major positive advance.
"The story begins with the crisis of logical positivism/empiricism in the 1950s sparked by Quine's rebellion. The linguistic turn prompted two further impulses: the "historicization of reason" and the "social construction of knowledge... The "marriage" of the history and the philosophy of science has been rocky, and some would say it has ended in divorce... The displacement of philosophy of science into philosophy of language (in which Quine and Kuhn both represent major stages) proves, upon a consideration of this narrative, to have been less than illuminating for science, suggesting that the linguistic turn here has quickly run into a dead end".
Philosophies of mind and science remain vibrant. Sure, we do not live in the time of Kant and Hegel, but Unger's charge of "emptiness" targets Lewis, Putnam and Kripke. What about late Wittgenstein, Quine, Kuhn, Davidson, Dummett and Brandom, what about the Stanford Disunity Mafia (Nancy Cartwright, Hacking, Dupre, Suppes), the structuralist school in philosophy of science (Sellars, Sneed), or free will libertarians like Kane. In the wake of the linguistic turn there even emerged a new movement of duly humbled logical neo-neo-positivists, see their manifesto volume Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science.
Quine's indeterminacy of translation fed into Kuhn's incommensurability of paradigms, that introduced history and social context into philosophy of science; Davidson gave one of the most penetrating analyses of mental vs. physical in recent times; Brandom launched an ambitious project of detailed grounding of semantics in communal practices. Dummett calls his project in Logical Basis of Metaphysics (1991) "anti-Wittgensteinian", and outlines the contours of post-linguistic analytic philosophy that directly addresses Unger's concerns:
"The layman or non-professional expects philosophers to answer deep questions of great import for an understanding of the world... if philosophy does not aim at answering such questions, it is worth nothing. Yet he finds most writing by philosophers of the analytical school disconcertingly remote from these concerns.
...analytical philosophy passed, comparatively recently, through a destructive phase; a few, indeed, have not yet emerged from it. During that phase, it appeared as though demolition was the principal legitimate task of philosophy. Now most of us believe once more that philosophy has a constructive task... In recent years, a number of analytical philosophers, prominent among them the late Gareth Evans, have rejected the assumption of the priority of language over thought and have attempted to explain thought independently of its expression and then to found an account of language upon such a prior philosophical theory of thought".
ConifoldConifold
I haven't read Kuhn, Davidson, or Dummett, so I don't know if any of Unger's criticisms apply to them. From what I know of Quine it seems like he recognized the "emptiness" of linguistic analysis but thought the solution was to merge philosophy with science, for example the idea of naturalized epistemology, which critics then claimed was just psychology, so really would not be much different from an anti-philosophical position. – user20502 Feb 4 '16 at 2:50
@user20502 I added some on KDD. There is more to Quine than naturalized epistemology, and naturalized epistemology itself is a direct continuation of British empiricism (Locke, Berkeley, Mill, especially Hume), not to mention Kant and neo-Kantian influences. We'd have to dismiss half of modern Western tradition as empty. It is also a double edged sword, while removing the pretense that philosophy stands a priori in judgement of sciences, it also takes away the pretense that current science owns the once and future method of discovering the truth. – Conifold Feb 5 '16 at 1:35
This is a good answer. I would add that there's a broad and a narrow understanding of "analytic." Frege, Russell, Kripke et al define a narrow interpretation. Much of the rest of what you mention defines a broad interpretation under which it just means that philosophy concerns itself with carefully analyzing things in a way that's engaged with sciences, math and other areas of learning. – ChristopherE Apr 18 '16 at 22:43
The question asks whether the criticisms of Unger and Hacker that modern Philosophical theories are extravagant, pernicious or concretely empty. Despite the flag-waving patriotism for philosophy which is evidently popular, you haven't actually answered the question. What is is about Quine that allows his work to be defined as a "major advance"? What about Davidson's analysis is "penetrating"? What about Brandom's project is "ambitious"? You haven't advanced any evidence to prove these points, only that other philosophers "reckon" they are, yet this is the very problem; no concrete substance. – Isaacson Oct 29 '16 at 7:16
Judged solely by the standard of impact outside the academies, the last triumph of analytic philosophy was the elevation of formal logic to a legitimate science. On the other hand, the last continental philosophy to have real mainstream influence was French Existentialism, so if anything is in decline, it's philosophy as a whole.
With all that said, a fallow period of a hundred years or so is hardly unique in the history of philosophy. It takes at least that long for the last great conceptual leap to be fully digested.
Chris SunamiChris Sunami
Great answer. There have always been 'dark ages', or 'desert periods'. Even from the beginning with the ancient Greeks, philosophy had rivals. I especially like the last remark. The philosopher is never heard during his time - he is as Nietzsche used to say, untimely, always untimely – M. le Fou Feb 5 '16 at 0:50
Hmmm. What about Popper's falsificationism (English 1961) or Kuhn's paradigms, or Austin's How to do things with words, or Rawls's Theory of Justice, or Singer's drowning child argument. There's a lot that's had a big impact outside philosophy. – ChristopherE Apr 18 '16 at 22:41
@ChristopherE Your comment seems worth expanding into its own answer. – Chris Sunami Apr 19 '16 at 13:25
Most contemporary philosophers of mind, if not all, are part of the analytic school: Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, John Searle, Jerry Fodor, David Rosenthal, etc...None of these guys could be considered irrelevant by any measure.
In fact most critics of philosophy - of the general "philosophy is now useless" trend - like Lawrence Krauss, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, etc.. tend to single out questions of consciousness and the mind-body problem as the only remaining bastion of relevance in an otherwise obsolete field of inquiry.

The 'TV scientists' that you mention are charlatans and philistines, appearing on televised debates and talk shows to dazzle their mostly uneducated audience with jargon-laden proselytizing – M. le Fou Feb 5 '16 at 0:45
@M.leFou TV Scientist might apply to Dennett or Chalmers, but I doubt that Fodor or Rosenthal have any media presence to speak of. Dazzling the uneducated audience seems more of a continental thing anyway. – Alexander S King Feb 5 '16 at 4:32
I'm assuming you're referring to continental Europe. In which case, your statement is a non-sequitur. I almost don't want to ask you exactly what you think being from a particular country or part of the world has to with this. – M. le Fou Feb 7 '16 at 5:32
@M.leFou I was referring to the Continental style of doing philosophy as opposed to Analytic style of philosophy, both of which are European in origin. – Alexander S King Feb 7 '16 at 18:19
I think this rather supports the argument of Unger particularly, rather than undermines it. The significance of the philosophers you mention is that they are either experts themselves, or well-versed in, the actual science of cognition (whether that be human cognitive sciences or AI). To my mind this shows the decline of philosophy after the linguistic turn perfectly. Only by comprehensive reference to empirical fields are philosophers able to say anything of concrete substance. I think the linguistic turn can take some responsibility for that. – Isaacson Oct 29 '16 at 7:23
I think the reason why this debate remains unsolved (and will be impossible to solve) is in the essay itself mentioned in the question. Hacker writes "...what counts as achievement in philosophy is itself a moot philosophical issue of no small moment".
The answers above all point to the fact that people have been doing lots of philosophy since the linguistic turn, but that's not really Hacker's point and certainly not Unger's, it's that the philosophy that's been done is uninteresting and of no consequence as it either trivial or impossible to realistically make progress with. He has made a fairly reasonable (though not definitive) definition of what "achievement in philosophy" should constitute and then made an argument from there that late analytic philosophy has failed in this task. By this argument, the mere fact of philosopher's doing philosophy is not a counter-argument. A successful counter-argument would consist either of a logical rejection of Unger's definition of achievement, or evidence of some concretely relevant thing that has been achieved, neither of which has been forwarded.
If we define the goal of a football game to score points and the team playing for the last decade has failed to score any points, the fact that they are still playing does not counter the argument that they have achieved nothing.
Conifold's answer I think, with no disrespect intended, highlights exactly what Unger is talking about. It is only able to counter the argument with statements by other philosophers regarding what they think (either of Unger or Wittgenstein, whom he follows), but Unger is not saying that no argument could be constructed against his, he's saying the exact opposite, that an argument could easily be constructed against his, more importantly that any argument could easily be constructed against any other. This, he argues, is what makes this kind of philosophy empty.
In order to progress, philosophy has to first decide what its measurable goals are, otherwise it cannot decide if it has been successful, it must then ruthlessly sieve out any notions which can be resolved, or even progressed, by proper controlled scientific experiment, and avoid questions which show not hope of ever progressing to an experimentally verifiable conclusion. What remains has a right to be labelled a rational academic pursuit, the remainder, whilst tremendous fun, must, I think, be relegated to something more like a sport.
IsaacsonIsaacson
I'd strongly agree about goals. Other than paying the mortgage it's not clear to me that many pro philosophers have one. I feel that in order to progress it would only be necessary to abandon the philosophy that Unger finds so hopeless. The goal of philosophy, or the first necessary task, is surely to solve and understand metaphysics and to answer its questions rather than make excuses and hide behind sophistry. This would answer Unger's criticisms adequately. But the profession seems to have given up and settled for endless, well, like Unger I have to call it waffle. . – PeterJ Aug 14 '17 at 14:28
You question conflates all of philosophy under one heading. I'd agree with Unger as to the usefulness of contemporary university philosophy, footnotes to Plato and all that, but philosophy is alive and well elsewhere.
If you look around you'll see that 'philosophobia' is in the rise, championed by the likes of Tyson and Dawkins. So yes, there is a growing recognition that university philosophy is hopeless. But this is a local problem and not a new one, a problem for the professors trapped in the Academy and not a problem for philosophy as a discipline. Hopefully it may lead to change and progress. It's about time.
PeterJPeterJ
In short, it'll depend on who you ask, but no.
Reading Hacker's article feels not unlike listening to Patrick Bateman describe the greatest hits of the eighties - as if Russell were Phil Collins, Wittgenstein Huey Lewis and the Vienna Circle "...the News".
If you haven't listened to it already, you might like this audio recording of the APA 'authors and critics' session from December 2006 between Peter Hacker, Max Bennet, Dan Dennett & John Searle.
Also, I think Searle speaks directly to your concerns with this article:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1692709/pdf/10670025.pdf
Particularly in his conclusion, I think he makes a very salient point to the contrary:
"The history of philosophy, as it is described in the standard textbooks, is largely a history of the works of a number of towering geniuses. From Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, to Wittgenstein and Russell, the chief results of philosophy are in the works of its great figures. In that sense there simply are no towering geniuses alive today. This I believe, is not because we have less talent than our predecessors. On the contrary, I believe that, paradoxically, the reason why there are no recognized geniuses today is simply that there are more good philosophers alive now than there were in the past."

> Court Of Appeal Dismisses Core Strategy And Judicial Review Challenges Based On Reasonable Alternatives, Reasons, Error Of Fact, Interpretation Of Development Plan Policy, And The Meaning Of 'Playing Field'
Court Of Appeal Dismisses Core Strategy And Judicial Review Challenges Based On Reasonable Alternatives, Reasons, Error Of Fact, Interpretation Of Development Plan Policy, And The Meaning Of 'Playing Field'
In a unanimous ruling (though with split reasoning) the Court of Appeal [Moore-Bick, Beatson, and Briggs LJJ] handed down judgement on Tuesday dismissing a challenge to the grant of planning permission for a mixed use housing site and an associated Core Strategy challenge (see decision here).
The decision will be of interest to those dealing with challenges to Core Strategy sustainability appraisals and the consideration of reasonable alternatives, as well as those who have had to grapple with the meaning of 'playing field' in planning matters. The Court held that:
A land swap proposal (to bring an existing school from a constrained site onto a larger former school site now proposed for a housing allocation) was not a reasonable alternative for the purposes of a sustainability appraisal because it was not realistic: (inter alia) it lacked financial credibility; was a proposal of no interest to the owners of the former school site, and was based on a claim of viability which was unsupported by independent consultants.
The meaning of 'playing field' is fact dependent calling for an exercise of judgment. The definition given in the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 is not definitive as that Order provides a wide definition for use as a catch-all in the regime for consultation.
Chalfont St Peter Parish Council sought to challenge the grant of planning permission by Chiltern District Council to the Holy Cross Sisters Trustees Incorporated for mixed use development (including 198 dwellings), and the allocation of the site for housing.
The site had been used as a convent and convent school until 2006 when the school had closed due to financial constraints. The Parish Council wanted the site to be used for a new Church of England school which it argued could be relocated from its existing site as part of a land swap.
Chiltern District Council promoted the site through its Core Strategy as one of three strategic housing sites and, following examination, adopted its Core Strategy in November 2011. By that date the District Council had also granted outline planning permission for the development of the site. The Parish Council challenged the grant of permission in judicial review proceedings and the adoption of the allocation policy under s.113 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The challenge was dismissed by the High Court in 2013.
In the Core Strategy appeal, the Parish Council argued that the District Council was under an obligation to consider the land swap as a reasonable alternative under the 2001 Directive and Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations, and that the Inspector's report contained inadequate reasoning on this issue. Although the Court noted that the threshold for identifying a reasonable alternative is a low one, on the facts the land swap was not a reasonable alternative in the sense of being a realistic and commercially sound and viable proposal. On the reasons challenge, it was held in the leading judgement of Beatson LJ (Briggs LJ agreeing) that the Inspector did just enough to explain his reasons adequately, despite the fact that the Parish Council's qualitative case for the land swap had not expressly been addressed, and in any event there was no substantial prejudice by any failure in the reasoning. Moore-Bick LJ considered the reasoning to be inadequate, but agreed that there was no prejudice caused.
In the judicial review proceedings, it was argued that there was an error of fact as to the extent of the playing fields on the site which vitiated the decision to grant planning permission. Having applied the ordinary requirements for error of fact in E v SoSHD [2004] EWCA Civ 49, it was held that the extent of the playing fields to be lost was not uncontentious and objectively verifiable. In any event, it was noted that it had not been shown that there was a mistake of fact in this case. The District Council's planning committee had considered all of the information at the meeting in arriving at a determination as primary decision maker.
It was also argued that the District Council's interpretation of its local plan policy – that it did not require a like-for-like replacement of a community facility – was incorrect as a matter of law. Applying Tesco Stores Ltd v Dundee CC [2012] UKSC 13, Beatson LJ held that the policy was framed in language whose application required an exercise of judgment, and that linguistic dissection of the text of the policy only went so far. The explanatory text and absence of prescriptive wording indicated that the decision maker was to be given flexibility as to how to meet changing community needs and that the policy was not concerned to achieve a like-for-like replacement facility. By contrast, Moore-Bick (with whom Briggs LJ agreed) felt obliged by Tesco v Dundee to provide a definitive interpretation of the policy. It meant that a community facility must be replaced by the same or broadly the same facility and the District Council had misinterpreted the policy. In other words, it would not be acceptable under the policy to replace a hospital with a completely different community facility such as a sewage plant or a library. However, there could have been no different outcome. Redevelopment of one kind or another was the only realistic option at the time of the decision so there was in reality no other community use to which the existing facility could be put.
It should be noted that the grant of permission in this case was made in 2010. No such delays should take place in the future with the opening of the Planning Court.

Sirius Minerals shares drop as it raises $425m for North Yorkshire mine
By: August Graham
Sirius Minerals today revealed it has exceeded its $400m (£306m) fundraising target, but its shares were priced at the lower end of expectations.
The London-listed company, which is raising cash to build a fertiliser mine in North Yorkshire, raised $425m from a new share issue.
Read more: JP Morgan backs Sirius Minerals $3.8bn financing package for Yorkshire mine
The company said it had won agreements from investors to buy around 1.62m shares, but at 15p per share, the book-build comes in at the lower end of its 15p to 18p target range.
Now existing shareholders will also be offered a change to buy one share at the same price for every 22 they own.
Shares fell 8.8 per cent to 15.88p this morning.
The project will be the first new deep mine in the UK for 40 years when it is completed in 2021, and it is expected to support more than 1,000 jobs.
"I am pleased that we have had such a positive response to the launch of our stage two financing solution which is key to unlocking the vast and long-term potential of our project," chief executive Chris Fraser said.
"The order books were oversubscribed, providing scope for a modest increase in the funds raised, further strengthening our financial position as we turn our attention towards securing the next phase of our stage two financing requirements."
Yesterday the firm announced that JP Morgan was backing the financing package, which is expected to total around $3.8bn. The bank is set to provide a $2.5bn revolving credit facility.
The cost of building Sirius' potash mine, which is expected to hold enough reserves for a century of extraction, was revised up by $600m last year to $3.6bn.

Fraser added: "I want to take this opportunity to thank the entire Sirius team and our partners who remain fully supportive and committed to the success of this project."

Ready Player Two: read an interview with Ernest Cline and listen to his soundtrack for the book
David Pescovitz 11:10 am Wed Nov 25, 2020
Ernest Cline's long-awaited sequel to Ready Player One is out this week! My copy of Ready Player Two just arrived and I can't wait to dive back into the Oasis. Above Ernie's Spotify "soundtrack" for the book. And below, here's a bit from an interview with Ernie in Entertainment Weekly:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So when did you first start thinking of ideas for the sequel?
ERNEST CLINE: I tried to set up the possibility of a sequel when I wrote the first novel. As I was finishing the first book, and I knew the first book was going to be published, ideas started to formulate in the back of my head. I don't think I really started writing until they started production on the movie, which got me back into living in the world of Ready Player One. That's when I started to really write the sequel. Also, I knew then there was like a ticking clock because if the movie does well, then they're going to want to make a movie sequel. And if there's no book to base the sequel on, then that won't stop them. So that motivated me and it was great because as we were finishing the movie, Steven started to ask me questions about what the sequel might be about so he could get that into the ending of the first movie. It was also great because I was in [the book's shantytown village] the Stacks — on the set of the movie — in this recreation of things from my imagination. So it was hard to think about anything else once I was there. I had to then stop and do [promotion for the film] and now I've been working on it nonstop for the last two years.
While there are obviously many reasons to do a sequel, did you have any trepidation after you managed to have a first-time writer's dream experience with the first book, which was such a home run in every way? Were you concerned about doubling down?
It did give me a huge amount of anxiousness going into writing it. I know from my own experience — like with the Star Wars prequels — that expectations are often resentments waiting to happen. The higher your expectations, the more you're setting yourself up for disappointment. The great thing about my first novel was that nobody knew who I was and people could discover it. Once it became more popular I would see people who heard it was so great from their friends, then they would go into it with expectations. So I knew everybody would even be going into this story with expectations, including me and including Steven Spielberg. He would call occasionally and ask if it was done. Nothing will light a fire under you like getting one of those phone calls, and I knew fans were waiting too. At the same time, I wasn't going to let anyone rush me. It's a strange sort of storytelling. I worked on Ready Player One for almost a decade. I was still working full-time jobs during that time, but I would work on and off and sometimes set it aside for as much as a year, but I'd always come back to it. I believed in the story and I knew I had to finish it. The way that I would do the puzzles is very elaborate. Each of the puzzles is its own elaborate puzzle box and weaving all the riddles and puzzles and the '80s references into the story takes a lot of thinking and like trial and error. So it's different than other writing projects. I really wanted it to be as good as I could make it and as fulfilling as the first book. I think a lot of people are going to enjoy it. I know some people's expectations might not be met and I'm braced for that too.

Universal Music Canada has announced a brand new 4CD box set 'Goodbye Tour – Live 1968.' Slated for release on February 7, 2020, it has three complete U.S. concerts recorded in October 1968 at the Oakland Coliseum, Los Angeles Forum and San Diego Sports Arena plus Cream's farewell U.K. performance from November 26, 1968 at London's Royal Albert Hall. 'Goodbye Tour – Live 1968' has a total of 36 tracks, of which 19 are previously unreleased. A further 10 - from the Royal Albert Hall - have only ever been available on DVD. The complete track list is below. On its original release in February 1969, 'Goodbye' combined live performances with a handful of studio recordings. It reached the Number 1 slot in the U.K. and Number 2 on the U.S. Billboard chart. The original release's live tracks were recorded at the Los Angeles Forum. Speaking of the band's performances in a press release announcing the set, Eric Clapton said, "Cream was a shambling circus of diverse personalities who happened to find that catalyst together…any one of us could have played unaccompanied for a good length of time. So you put the three of us together in front of an audience willing to dig it limitlessly, we could have gone on forever…and we did…just going for the moon every time we played." 'Goodbye Tour – Live 1968.' was produced by Bill Levenson. The Oakland, Los Angeles and San Diego concerts were mastered from the original 1968 analog mix reels by Kevin Reeves at Universal Mastering, Nashville, TN. The London concert was mastered from the original 1968 analog transfer reels by Jason NeSmith at Chase Park Transduction, Athens, GA.

The rapidly transforming automobile landscape is giving rise to several developments that are aimed at addressing the next-gen consumer requirements. Although large-scale innovations are witnessed in the fuel-engine powered vehicles, the energy-efficiency requirements and the growing emphasis given to environmental safety are giving rise to the various vehicle variants such as—electric and hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles are capturing significant popularity over time, owing to their greater contribution in reducing carbon emissions. Hybrid vehicles are considered as a crucial aspect in the future mobility. Factors such as improved emission results, fuel economy results, and burgeoning tax incentives in leading nations are pushing consumer preference towards electric and hybrid vehicles. Automotive manufacturers seek to address emerging environment-friendly alternatives in the form of hybrid vehicles.
The projected rise in fuel costs and the alarming environmental scenarios are influencing automotive manufacturers to shift towards hybrid technology. Leading manufacturers of hybrid vehicles are focused towards cashing on the opportunities reflected by the lucrative markets. Furthermore, the global preference shift from internal combustion engine-powered vehicles towards electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles is greatly influencing the production of hybrid vehicles. Although not stated in official statements presently, the key cities such as Athens, Paris, Madrid, and Mexico City have expressed that plans to remove diesel-powered cars by 2025. These being not the only ones, Norway also plans to opt out of providing conventional vehicles by 2025, France by 2040 followed by the United Kingdom in 2050. The government is indicating the globe that there is a crucial need to shift towards zero emission vehicles, this being a notable aspect for carmakers. Companies such as Ferrari are increasingly moving towards hybrid vehicles wherein they commit to offer over 60 percent of its vehicle mobiles to be built upon hybrid powertrains, by 2022.
In the wave of the hybrid vehicles trend, the governments are increasingly extending their activities in favor of expanding the hybrid vehicles landscape. In light to promote sustainable transport, governing bodies are extending schemes for individuals incorporating hybrid vehicles. The increasing hybrid vehicle commitments by governments are expected to play a crucial role for manufacturers of hybrid vehicles, as they boost the sales of hybrid vehicles.
The government of Malta, Europe has plans to offer €2.5 million in grants for the individuals that are opting for clean transport such as electric, hybrid, and other low emission vehicles. The applicants that would register the M1 Hybrid Vehicles with CO2 emissions that would range from 40 to 65 gram per kilometer would be eligible for a grant up to €2000.
Europe is not alone in carrying out such initiatives. The Asian countries are also increasingly promoting the implementation of hybrid vehicles. The Indian government, on account of the intensive campaigning of automobile manufacturers, has sought incentive schemes for buyers of hybrid cars that are equipped with lithium-ion batteries of 0.5-2 kilowatt hour. While the previous high GST rates on hybrid cars were are set back for automakers, new incentive schemes would define the scope of hybrid vehicles in the nation. Furthermore, according to the recent notification by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways initiated in a bid to minimize pollution, end-users could now retro-fit electric or hybrid systems on the existing vehicles. Such government initiatives are expected to boost the growth of the hybrid vehicles landscape across leading economies.
Current Focus: Are we Infrastructure-Ready for Hybrid Vehicles?
The feeble infrastructure for charging electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles witnessed across the globe is expected to be a major challenge for the growth expected by the manufacturers of hybrid vehicles. With the increasing requirements of hybrid vehicles, it is equally significant to offer substantial charging infrastructure, which could promote the use of hybrid vehicles across the globe. Leading governments need to prioritize this aspect to ensure effective deployment of hybrid vehicles.
Although hybrid vehicles sale is surging, the lack of charging points could hinder the growth of the hybrid vehicles landscape. The UK, for instance, has witnessed a similar scenario. While on one hand, the sale of electric and hybrid vehicles rising substantially, the country witnessed a lack of charging points to address the demands. The Institute of the Motor Industry in the UK, stated in its 2018 research, that there is a shortfall of electric vehicle charging points and the number of professionals trained to work of hybrid and electric vehicles. The lethargic infrastructure network in the UK is contributing to major difficulties in making efficient use of these vehicles.
On the contrary, there are some positive transformations witnessed in other parts of the world. For instance, the government of New South Wales (NSW), Australia expressed its plan to make significant investments in the avenue. Under its 'Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Plan', the NSW government aims to address the ongoing shift towards cleaner mobility. Owing to this, the government will invest nearly $3 million in fast charging points for electric and hybrid vehicles on major regional gateways and $2 million for charging points in car parks.
Hybrid Vehicles or Electric Vehicles?
While there are several initiatives taken to boost the production of vehicles equipped with hybrid vehicles, and the ongoing government initiatives for supporting the hybrid vehicle trend, the comparison between hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles remains vital. In the current scenario, with the complete dependency of electric vehicles on battery charging points, they exhibit a potential challenge for markets such as India, where the charging infrastructure is currently weak. With lack of dependence on re-charging infrastructure, hybrid cares are capturing the major market in terms of its reliability and ease of use. Furthermore, the low-emission requirements are triggering innovations in the automobile space, thereby boosting the plug-in hybrid vehicles business. Electric vehicles come along with two vital challenges that are cost and infrastructure, making automotive OEMs to shift towards hybrid vehicles that not only mitigate these challenges but also deliver benefits such as low emission, fuel economy, and efficiency. The hybrid vehicle production landscape has witnessed tremendous growth owing to this. Various automakers such as Ford, Renault, and Toyota are progressively increasing the production of hybrid vehicles. While the future scope for both electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles looks promising, it would be right to predict that hybrid vehicles would gain major attention from automotive OEMs and consumers.
Although the hybrid vehicles landscape witnesses automotive manufacturers' struggles with lack of infrastructure and electric vehicle preference, market experts are optimistic over the future opportunities held by the hybrid vehicles market. As both, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles garner consumer attention in the current market scenario, the infrastructure requirements are also expected to be looked upon with priority, thereby significantly boosting the growth of the hybrid vehicles market.

MICRO-FATE project to investigate microplastic in the Pacific Ocean
An international team of researchers are intending to find out where microplastic accumulates in the ocean, how it is degraded, and the effects that it has on the environment.
A five-week expedition from Vancouver to Singapore will see the research team take and conserve samples for upcoming laboratory analysis, in addition to performing initial experiments.
To date, there is no detailed data on where microplastic accumulates and how much exists in the oceans, with previous estimates relying on computer modelling, individual data, and observations from the air.
Dr Annika Jahnke, from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, said: "We want to provide substantiation for these estimates and to find out what happens to the plastic in the ocean and what effects microplastic has on the environment."
One of the researchers' primary objectives is to collect samples from the surface water, the water column, and from the seabed, to find out more about the vertical distribution of the plastic particles and to identify potential gradients with regard to concentration, composition, age, and coverage with biofilms.
The analysis of the samples from the seabed is also expected to provide information on plastic material in the sediments and on where microplastic ends up in the sea.

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. You can't solve a problem with the same kind of thinking that created it."
Let's avoid an essentially pointless discussion. We can distinguish digital art from art pursued in another medium by the intrinsic dependence on computers for its realisation.
The thing about digital art is that it takes its technology seriously, it must take its technology seriously, because it is the computer which realises the signal we are calling art. And the nature of the computer, of technology, is that it breaks down. Programs run out of memory, systems crash, information is garbled as it falls before the cursor.
2. glitch as a component of the creative process, where the software/hardware/wetware conflicts play a necessary (even if unexpected part in the generation of the artwork. The ongoing pursuit of (artistic) development becomes a performance in itself. Here the glitch is a driving force for a play between the human and the machine, while the outcome is simply a fleeting target, that can be adjusted and even radically changed on the fly.
As computer systems become increasingly complex, resembling more complete worlds than mere tools, the processes that make them work are far beyond the reach of people who do not participate in the actual technology development.
For the average computer user, we know that this thing called "information"... code, microcode... is what makes computers work, but we don't know how. It is hidden, incomprehensible; we can't touch it, we don't need to deal with it on a day-to-day level.
The modern computing environment is a seamless landscape of point'n'click, a Pavlovian field of buttons and bright links. And it has a strict behavioural grammar÷we are all so accustomed to the WIMP interface that we are often unaware of this.
"Content" must be contained by windows. Point and click, scroll and slide. You need a trigger-happy mouse finger.
While her finger happily clicks around, arranging layered windows, the viewer is drawn into the seductive world of digitised catalogs, where content remains trapped in the clutches of stereotypical 'click'n'go interaction design and is iconised to flashy hotspots, screaming next to a Buy button.
The WIMP interface creates an illusion of objectness.
The metaphors from the physical world are relentlessly mapped to the digital: an ocean of electronic books, magazines, tv and radio-stations is flooding the little that is left of experimental digital interface design.
We can click there or there, rather like choosing Coke or Fanta from a soft-drink machine.
When the virtual enters the physical it is mostly through billboards, as a new addition to global advertising campaigns. It is not seen as a whole new realm, but as a swarm of virtual blurbs, conceived as small, self contained units, buzzing around our heads 24/7.
An example: Yahoo is advertising their new web-site and internet service: Yahoo travel in San Francisco through a huge billboard that shows the yahoo interface in the american 50ies style' All blue and pink and glowing neon lights. Saying please, trust us, don't look any further, drive home and login, we will take you to the "Yahoo world of Safe Travel", read through the experiences of others and learn the world the easy way. A window into virtuality, that will take you back into the isolation of your home, where the whole world speaks your language.
And there is an encycloapedic aspect to this. The quest to progressively reveal a hidden meaning. From Grolier's encycloapedia to the web, mainstream multimedia is about seamless content retrieval.
We rarely come in contact with the world behind the screen, the reams of code, the protocols and puppet strings. The information which creates this landscape for us.
The world behind the screen is suffocating under the burden of the interface. And the interface has nested itself on the surface of the screen, and appears to be paralysed in that position, not allowing the general user to discover the layers behind it. The interface must be violated. Scratched and cracked or pulled out of the screen into the physical space so that its borders become elastic and transparent, revealing the world behind.
Historically, "information" is a theoretical entity... it has its origins in cybernetics, in the idea that the universe of objects is interpenetrated by ethereal "information patterns" that might be divined and controlled. It is a fragile entity.
Information is exactly the entity on which the hyped new-economy is based. Information is a buzz-word used to guarantee the objectivity of the virtual free-market. However, if its building blocks are so ethereal, this economy is much more inconsistent, incomplete and fragile than we are lead to believe.
There is a huge glitch between reality and virtuality. They are two separate entities, where the digital realm somehow became independent from the world in which it originated. The two worlds are mapped onto each other, but are not truly interacting. Instead of making the technology a part of our life, we made our life a part of the technology. A statistic with which more statistics can be calculated.
Did you know that various corporations are already madly attempting to estimate of your life-value from the minute that you are born? That they are going to target their advertisement campaigns directly to you, based on the statistical information that they carefully collected while you were sound asleep with your bottled water of brand X next to your bed and a book from an e-bookstore on your chest. And they will tell you that it is scientifically proven that this new product has been chosen for you based on objective information. The opposite is true: understanding the chaotic laws of hypercapitalism means understanding that information is the contrary to absolute, objective or stable.
Claude Shannon defined it as a probability function with no materiality, no dimensions. A pattern. An essence. It can be divorced from its context, from its body. Ideally, it is infinitely reproducible. Like zeros and ones in a computer program.
And this is important: we are speaking about cybernetics because it is more than a metaphor, more than rhetoric, because it works. Computers are cybernetic systems. They store, create and retrieve this "theoretical" entity--information.
.... limits itself to making isolated conventional forms in conventional space, dressing them in rhetorical conceit, and leaving the world unchanged."
"Noise" is deviation from the defined parameters of the signal. It is the corollary of information.
Noise interferes with perfect reproduction, the presumed goal. It interferes with translation from code to code. Viruses, errors and incompatabilities--these insert change into fragile patterns, the web page we are trying to download, the program we are trying to run.
Noise is the enemy of the seamless interface.
Noise or error allows us to reveal the worlds that our are a part of. It removes the interface and leaves the users helpless.... while they are listening to the same message for the 50th time: All our help-desk collaborators are busy. Please hold the line.
"All that is not information, not redundancy, not form and not restraints is noise, the only possible source of new patterns."
Noise draws us to the surface of the computing environment, to reflect on how the tool system is shaping us, on how arbitrary its behavioural and procedural grammar is.
I'm here to talk about artists who work with noise and error, the corollary of information.
While Belinda talks about the aesthetics of the glitch, I'm here to talk about the glitch as a process: where the participants do not represent, but perform, infect each otherâs worlds with alien loopholes, (mis)interpretations, and errors. Using glitches, interaction becomes more insipred drifting within inter-reality membranes and less a predefined menu browsing of digitized shop-windows. The glitch as last resort without a shopping mall attached to it. A forest of live wires.
They play with the puppet strings.
This is what we mean by "the glitch". The glitch draws our attention to the fragility of information as a cybernetic entity.
The glitch interferes with perfect reproduction. It interferes with the goal of a seamless, stable system by playing with the concept of information, code, microcode and pattern itself.
The space in between the interfaces is not a concern. And it is exactly in this space where d-art can function as a subversion of the polished make-believe future of the information era.
Noise undermines the illusion of objectness created by the point'n'click interface.
You will notice in some of the examples we give you that the code usually hidden from the computer user seems to wriggle its way to the surface of the screen, that the behavioural protocols encountered in mainstream multimedia either don't work or don't apply.
Their navigational systems often mimic and parody the modes of sorting and accessing information on the web. They are an attack on the assumed functionality, interactivity and "user-friendly" interface of the web. Code stripped of functionality, code drawn from the innards of computer hardware and set loose across the surface of the screen, code as an end in itself. Miles from the glossy, java-enabled, flash-heavy "interactivity" of the web.
The word interaction has been reduced to pointing, clicking, scrolling and dragging of cute moving objects on the screen.
1. Mutual or reciprocal action or influence; as, the interaction of the heart and lungs on each other.
Does any of this happen when interacting with web-pages? There is a lot of theory around what happens when a person hits a link, but essentially, the only truly interactive, mutual influence here is that your pockets are being emptied and their filled.
And this has to happen as seamlessly as possible, so that your credit card number floats weightlessly to their database. I had the most revealing experience trying to purchase software from MASCHIN3NKUNST. The site was messing with me until I got to the purchase form, where I truly did hesitate a second before I entered my credit card number. Only because the interface was playing with web-protocols and error messages. Only because they showed me explicitly how fragile the system actually is.
Information, by nature, is open to corruption. We know this as computer users.
A single keystroke can render a message unreadable--if at any time we change the parameters of the "signal" in cybernetics, we automatically render the remainder "noise".
Information lapses in and out of comprehensibility.
This is what I mean by the "fragile" nature of information patterns, usually hidden from us.
There is a limit to the glitch aesthetics. It often becomes an end in itself, where the user still cannot engage in a generative proces with the machine. The glitch should be viewedas something anchored in the same system as information, and as information is 9as said earlier) the building block of our society, the glitch is an essential part of our world as well, not simply an adjunct to an aesthetic movement.
The GUI interface is set on top of the machinic universe in order to make the user more efficient and comfortable. The multidimensional topologies that could emerge from the collaboration between the human and the machine have been prematurely bound to the cartesian system of x-y (and unconvincingly to z) coordinates and binary responses. In today's CHI world, it's all about control. Not interaction or responsivity but linear control. Control that does not account for noise in its predetermined course of action. The noise is the complaint of a spoiled, irresponsible child.

Particularly in sites like ; :,:; ,.; and ;:,:.;:; , reams of unparsable and corrupt code seem to lampoon the transmission of web-based sound, text and graphics.
Hyperlinks lead nowhere, a keystroke activates a hidden script which renders the entire page gobbledigook.
If you've ever tried to work your way through ;:;:;.:,.,:,: with a trigger-happy mouse finger and a desire to extract meaning, you'll understand what I mean.
Errors can have meaning. They are our portals to the machinic universe in which we spend most of our days. However, the machine is usually silent, or better said, muted by the interventions of software and multimedia designers.
A discussion of digital art would be remiss without mentioning, and beginning, with ;: : :, :: ;.
;:; :; : was started in ;:,:,::;:;.,,: in the early 90's. Amongst other things, it is famous for mercilessly crashing browsers around the world. It is also famous for turning the familiar web interface inside-out.
It deploys the hidden codes and glyphs of Internet protocol as central aesthetic components, a protocol which despite the liberatory rhetoric that surrounds it is put to work in the world enabling largely banal content.
What we need to build is not yet another gate to the 'age of access', but a media de-tox chamber, where we can sweat out the unnecessary icons, protocols and constraining interaction methods..... and above all, where we can wash away the content that has polluted both physical and virtual reality before they had a chance to evolve and grow closely together.
jodi >> leitmotiv string, "we serve no content", rests uncomfortably in the encyclopaedic world of the web.
There is no central meaning, no content to be progressively unveiled.
Just lots of peripheral visions.
It is on the periphery of understanding and intuition where we can expect unpredictable interaction to happen. When we move away from the well known paths. Where we don't know what to expect.
It lives on the other side of the web, the side filled with incompatibilities and error messages, machines speaking to machines in a language we don't speak.
In this space physical metaphors of superhighways, windows, desktops and elevators does not exist.
A far cry from flash, proprietary browsing. It comprises page after page of apparently incomprehensible code.
When the standardised interface has been stripped away, and the machine spits out all the complaints, that's when we start to interact, trying to comprehend both the machine proceses and the brain-waves of its creators. Here our worlds truly meet, and we engage in clumsy negotiations, trying to translate each-other's worlds into each-other's languages. Translation becomes a living system, through which the two realities warp into a hybrid tangled one.
The "index" to 7061, for instance, scatters a grid of luminous green lines and fragments of machine code across the page. Memories of Commodore 64 meltdown.
As with all ;:::,:; sites, the index is particularly random, and plays on the user's feeling of being lost in hyperspace after all, most of the time spent on the web is useless shuffling.
Instead of shuffling, we need to start drifting, making meaning of the unknown world by allowing it to influence our progression. The roads are not built for us, we make them up and draw their maps as we go along.
The computer is not a representation machine. It is a performance machine, engaged in shaping of itself through a generative process..... and most of its generation depends on our parameters and variables.
The visitor has difficulty working out if the broken hyperlinks, script-generated gibberish and hung system messages belong to her or to the site. Actually, they belong to the technology.
The technology alone does not engage with our world. We ask questions, the technology answers, but it answers with something which we fed into it.... and we fed into it a rigid, mapped and marked structure of reality, one which does not respond to the living world.
The glitch is dangerously political, anarchic.
It draws attention to the constructed nature of information, usually hidden from us.
The most obvious recent example of the glitch between physical and informational reality was the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, where the obsolete maps served as a tactical excuse in a heavily technologically monitored zone.
We are told that Nato's 'accidental bombing' of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was due to the mission's use of maps made years ago: the embassy shouldn't have been there.
Topographical data previously collected from the site became digitally partitioned from the altering physical field and in an ironic return redescribed itself back onto the original surface with the conviction of ammunition.
Present culture confesses the relative, inherently representative condition of the photo-graphic image, yet it's authority is uncontested within the self determination of the military/scientific complex. The infinite transportability of the photograph suggests that it need not have any responsibility to its field for military and market agendas. This forgetful office between an object and its representation cannot be as succesfully exploited by the recorded sound, which, in order to be experienced, must re-manifest in/as a continuum of material events fundamentally vunerable to acoustic and mnemonic contingencies. This innate re-modelling of the recorded subject in playback threatens any investment in an aural substitution of objecthood. Anyway, we have made sound busy with its own substitution - music stands in for the rememebring of sound.
It inserts an element of play into the corporate genome, like a virus.
It brings us back to the surface, to an awareness of the tools which are progressively colonising us.
Maybe this sentence would sound more realistic if we would say: to an awareness of the market whose tools are progressively colonising us. The machine is _not_ a colonial being. Humans are. Especially humans striving for power. Money. Speed. Even culture is not a safe haven any more. Reduced to bits, interchangeable and reproducible, a lot of digital art and culture is just a pretty name for a new commodity: cultural capital.
I'm not going to say that all digital art is about noise, viruses, error, the glitch, because it's not. But the projects which have inspired me, from which I have composed my own personal 'history of error', most certainly are.
The next piece I want to talk about is MindVirus, an electronic magazine from Adelaide, Australia. It was created by a group of artists called ;.;..:;;: , and the first edition came out in 1994.
The CD-ROM was distributed in plastic agar-jelly dishes with "infectious substance" stickers on the top. I don't think any of us ever really knew what they were on about.
MindVirus involves navigational skills and sensory apparatus that have been written out as incidental in mainstream multimedia.
Sound, pattern-recognition, proprioception and an element of randomness become central to the navigational experience.
In MindVirus ;:,.;:;:, after I'd spent a couple of hours watching fish swim backwards across the screen, I was given the option of pressing "restart" for fear of strange interfaces and alternative paradigms.
The mainstream of digital design still thinks of intraction in terms of presentation. However, strange and unexpected interfaces can draw the participant into the generative process of the work (the constructuion of the now). The one interface that many people don't know how to operate any more is their own body. When the coming into existence of a responsive reality depends on being conscious of their bodies, movements and physical social interaction, some people freeze. And when they freeze, so does the time and space of the responsive environment. The synthesis is interrupted.
The only problem was that the familiar "restart" button began to blink and skid across the screen in a most user-unfriendly fashion, with my cursor in hot pursuit.
In MindVirus 3.7, the reader is presented with a pair of monekys involved in an inexplicable cue-card experiment as they try to access "meaningful" information.
Habitual point'n'click action doesn't seem to yield results.
The monkeys, it seems, are conducting a psychological experiment on the faceless "user"--are you actually interacting with this machine or just responding to coloured links?
Some of you may remember this.
its field of links and hotspots dead to the eye. On touching the mouse, the user finds that she affects the sound emanating from the speakers. Slight movements introduce new bass loops and interstellar bleeps.
she must re-adjust herself to a sound-based interface.
Some people have a problem with searching for the interface, if it is buried under the surface of the screen, or when it bleeds off its edges. Especially with sound-based interfaces, that do not allow distracted clicking, an engaged involvement is demanded. Sound moves in and out of existence, and does not tolerate slack. Movement through sound is much more continuous then movement through a visual interface. The total user control is impossible, as different timelines intersect. The interaction becomes more a free play in time and less a rule baseg game in space.
The initial reaction is one of bewilderment: am I controlling these noises or are they pre-programmed? In fact, they are built on the fly by the user's movements.
Is it broken, or is it meant to sound like that?
That's the reaction Keith Netto, a Melbourne-based artist, also gets to his a-life program, Sonicform.
Sonicform came out in 1998, its stated mission to create a java-based sound environment for the web which capitalises on the nature of networked information--its capacity to infect and be infected by other information.
In each individual version of the Sonicform system, there are basic 'sound fragments' attached to images in the top left-hand corner of the screen at startup.
These sounds are then combined by users into a time-based system known as a 'transform'. This is a string of serial code, like a genome, which instructs certain sounds to evolve, switch on and off or remain inactive over a given time.
Each instance of Sonicform is linked via the net to 'sonicserver' and consequently all other versions of itself which are being executed at any point in time. It implements a threshold-triggered feedback loop to graft each set of instructions back into the main sound stream as it evolves.
Talking about mutual influence between humans and information systems leads us naturally towards a long discussion about a-life, expanding hybrid universes, flesh machines etc. However, we have decided to concentrate on the catalyst of these processes and will not dive into the processes themselves in this presentation.
What we have been calling the "glitch" is usually the enemy. It is the enemy of a stable system, of a seamless user-interface, of the point'n'click universe.
The glitch also draws our attention to the arbitrary and constructed nature of information itself.
What happens to life in our embodied actual when the object of our investigations becomes the virtual replicator?

1. Skip if taking too much time but mark it to recall.
2. Deduction is essential. Eliminate one blank at a time. With two-blank questions, try eliminating some answers based on just one blank. If one word in an answer doesn't make sense in the sentence, then you can rehect the entire choice.
3. Look at + and – and the double negatives. Be aware that some of the most difficult sentence completion questions conttain negatives, which can make following the logic of the sentences challenging.
4. Much of it relates to adj and adv and their noun forms.
6. Use your own synonym before choosing the ones given.
7. Guess the blank before looking at the choices. Figure out what sort of word(s) should fill the blank(s) before looking at the choices; then look for a choice that is similar to the one(s) you thought of.
