Kullervo is a person in the Finnish national epic Kalevala. He is a good looking man with golden hair. Bad things happen to him; his destiny is tragic.
In folk stories Kullervo is the son of the giant Kaleva. In the Kalevala however Kullervo is the son of a man called Kalervo.
In the Kalevala Kullervo's family is killed by Untamo's family before Kullervo is born. Only one woman is not killed. She gives birth to Kullervo who will be a slave of Untamo. Every work that Kullervo tries goes ill. This is why Untamo sells him to a smith called Ilmarinen.
Ilmarinen puts Kullervo to shepherd cows. Ilmarinen's wife gives Kullervo bread that has stones in it. While Kullervo cuts the bread his knife hits the stone and breaks. Kullervo gets angry and curses bears to eat cows and Ilmarinen's wife. Then he escapes.
While travelling Kullervo has sex with a girl. He does not know that this is his own sister. When he finds out he goes very angry and attacks Untamo and kills him and his family. Then he commits suicide.
The story of Kullervo differs from all other folktales in the respect that it describes the effects of child abuse in a very realistic way, and in the end of the poem Vainamoinen especially warns all parents from abusing their children.

CALGARY – A tough week in the Canadian oil patch continued Wednesday, as ConocoPhillips Co. became the latest in a string of oil companies to lay off staff. The Houston-based energy major trimmed its Canadian headcount by 7% or about 200 employees.
Company spokeswoman Kristen Ashcroft confirmed Wednesday the ConocoPhillips Canada employees would be let go by the end of March. “It’s related to the challenging economic environment,” Ms. Ashcroft said. “We had to make some difficult decisions.”

ConocoPhillips’ move follows cuts at Talisman Energy Inc. and Nexen Energy ULC, both of which announced hundreds of layoffs on Tuesday in response to collapsed oil prices.
Oil prices hit another six-year-low on Wednesday morning, as the West Texas Intermediate benchmark price fell to US$42.24 per barrel before finishing up 2.8% on the day, at US$44.66.
Major oil producers have been laying off staff as a result of the slide. |

“Using Healthy People 2020 to Improve the Oral Health of Populations Across the Lifespan”, a series produced by the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research (APTR). The module, containing 5 sub-modules, uses an interprofessional format and has excellent oral health teaching-learning resources for each sub-module. http://www.aptrweb.org/?PHLM_15
New Jersey Foundation on Aging features guests Rena Zelig, a clinical nutritionist and Sam Zwetchkenbaum, a dentist to discuss the many reasons why we need to still aim for regular dental exams in retirement so that we can efficiently utilize high quality foods like sources of protein and fiber which help us to maintain optimal bone and muscle health. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bngq2-OQOxE
This card summarizes key knowledge areas in adult oral health and includes recommendations for the prevention of caries and periodontal disease, treatment for xerostomia and common denture problems, and guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis and anticoagulation management prior to oral procedures.
This tool was developed by case management and nursing professionals to use with clients during home visits. It helps clients improve their oral health and determine when they should access dental services.
This flyer produced by Washington Dental Service Foundation provides visual illustrations of what is normal and what is not, providing a caregiver or other non-dental service provider with assistance in assessing when to refer a client/patient for dental care.
This new CDC resource shows how practitioners in the disciplines of pharmacy, podiatry, optometry, and dentistry can work collaboratively with each other, as well as with all other members of the health care team.PowerPoint PresentationPatient Resource
Conferences
The National Interprofessional Initiative on Oral Health (NIIOH) has evolved out of the work done by participants who attended the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Symposia on Oral Health and Primary Care.Here, and interprofessional dialogue is facilitated among primary care clinicians, dentists and funders. Relationships are developed and generative thinking is done about strategies, programs and products that will enable NIIOH to achieve its desired impact.
Open to all types of oral health professionals, this annual conference is sponsored by Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD) and the American Association of Public Health Dentistry (AAPHD). |

Toxicology tests have been performed and the final results could take 4-6 weeks Winter explains, saying, “His case is deferred at this time pending additional tests.”
Troyer, best known for playing Mini-Me in the Austin Powers franchise, died Saturday at the age of 49.
“It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts to write that Verne passed away today. Verne was an extremely caring individual. He wanted to make everyone smile, be happy, and laugh. Anybody in need, he would help to any extent possible,” his family confirmed in a statement shared on Instagram and Facebook Saturday.
No cause of death was revealed at the time.
A rep for Troyer did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

“Verne hoped he made a positive change with the platform he had and worked towards spreading that message everyday. He inspired people around the world with his drive, determination, and attitude. On film & television sets, commercial shoots, at comic-con’s & personal appearances, to his own YouTube videos, he was there to show everyone what he was capable of doing,” the statement continued.
“Even though his stature was small and his parents often wondered if he’d be able to reach up and open doors on his own in his life, he went on to open more doors for himself and others than anyone could have imagined. He also touched more peoples hearts than he will ever know. Verne was also a fighter when it came to his own battles. Over the years he’s struggled and won, struggled and won, struggled and fought some more, but unfortunately this time was too much.”
On April 2, Troyer, who was born with achondroplasia dwarfism which caused him to stop growing at 2’8″, was rushed to the hospital for a “reported poisoning.” The Los Angeles City Fire Department confirmed to PEOPLE that they were called to the actor’s North Hollywood home. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Troyer was “extremely upset, drunk and suicidal.”
Troyer’s big acting break came in 1999 with the role of Mini-Me in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, for which he portrayed a misbehaving version of Mike Myers’ character Dr. Evil. Troyer also reprised his role in the 2002 sequel, Austin Powers in Goldmember.
Other acting credits include roles in Men in Black, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. He also starred in VH1’s The Surreal Life in 2005.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations to be made to two charities, The Starkey Hearing Foundation and Best Buddies, in Troyer’s name.

Issaquah is a town in King County, Washington, United States.
Towns in Washington (state) |
There are an estimated 320 convicts buried on a parcel of land that overlooks South Launceston.
The convicts – two-parts men and one-part women – were buried over the course of 30 years from 1846.
Today, it does not look like a cemetery.
In fact, there is little to suggest that it is one.
There are no headstones, no tombstones, and no grave markings visible to the untrained eye.
There is one small sign that points to the site from neighbouring Westbury Road, and one that marks the site at the bottom of the gravel road.
A stone path is lined with a handful of bricks that were set in the late 1990s, inscribed by Glen Dhu Primary School pupils with the names and details of a handful of convicts.
But the bricks represent just one-tenth of the convicts buried here.
When Launceston woman Kris Gatenby stumbled across the cemetery, she said it, and the untold tales of those buried there, resonated with her.
Miss Gatenby said she always held an affinity for the “downtrodden”.
Genealogy research led her to the cemetery, which is also referred to as Rose Lane.
She said while modern society seemed to be in the midst of a “genealogy obsession”, there were some ancestors who were forgotten.
“No one claims [these convicts],” Miss Gatenby said.
“No one’s looking for them. These people are part of the convict stain.”
From there, she became determined to tell their stories.
“You feel great compassion for them,” she said.
“You can’t help but feel great anger. It really took me through a roller coaster of emotions.”
At one stage, the cemetery did hold those token items of headstones and plaques.
After its closure in 1874, it was still maintained, mostly by prison gangs and probationers. Rose bushes (hence the name Rose Lane) and rosemary, for remembrance, were planted.
But by the 1890s, upkeep dropped. Fences fell, and cattle began to graze on the land. The Launceston council then ordered that the headstones be taken down, the site razed and the land ploughed.
The land would go on to be used as brickworks. At one stage, ownership of the land fell into the hands of Samuel Hutton, who, while excavating the site for his brickworks, stumbled across human remains from the cemetery, forcing him to abandon the project.
From the 1920s, it moved into the hands of council, was redeveloped as a reserve, and land adjacent went onto to become a rubbish tip, until the 1950s.
Miss Gatenby pored over old newspaper records to find out as much as she could about the stories behind the names.
Not all of the souls buried at the cemetery were buried as convicts – many had obtained their tickets of leave.
However, because of their convict past, they were not able to be buried in consecrated, church cemeteries.
Just as in life, in death they were hidden from everyday society.
They had no official funerals, and they were lucky to get a coffin.
“Their mates would be them [the deceased convict] into some sort of make-shift coffin,” Miss Gatenby said.
“They’d be lucky to get a sack.
“They’d be taken there at dusk or after dark.
“They were put in pits that were five or six-feet deep, and at least two-bodies wide.”
Miss Gatenby uncovered stories where, despite serving their transportation time, obtaining tickets of leave, and essentially turning their lives around, people were not able to shake their convict pasts.
“Edward was 20, and he went to work for [Dr William Russ Pugh, well-known Launceston doctor and surgeon],” Miss Gatenby said.
“He was complaining about back and head aches, and Mrs Pugh was concerned, she kept checking on him.
“[Such was his pain that] he found some arsenic, took it into his room, takes it, and died a horrible death 24 hours later.
“Now, he wanted a Catholic burial.
“He left some money for that, a bloke owed him money, so he thought that this bloke could make his coffin and ‘I’ll be buried in a Catholic cemetery’.
“But the Catholics wouldn’t have him. He was buried at Rose Lane.
“In his obituary, Mrs Pugh said ‘He will be missed’, so I at least thought that was quite nice.”
While many of the convicts had reformed themselves, there are those who died as they lived – criminals.
One, which Miss Gatenby discovered, was Matthew Burns, who was transported to Van Diemen’s Land in the mid 1840s, at the age of 23.
Despite the length of his rap sheet, Miss Gatenby found, he was given his ticket of leave in 1851.
However, his ultimate ending was execution.
He was hung on August 5, 1858, for a rape at Fingal.
It was a dual hanging. Beside him in the gallows was murderer George Young.
His death, Miss Gatenby uncovered, was a messy one.
“...as the creak of the dreadful bolt fell upon the ear of Burns, he gave convulsive struggle, the rope yarn with which his arms were pinioned stretched, or gave way, so far as to enable him to grasp the rope at his neck; in consequence of this he did not fall with the trap, nor until the executioner went round the scaffold and compelled the wretched being to release his hold of the rope. Then he fell, but not with sufficient force to bring his sufferings soon to an end, and he struggled violently for some minutes,” she quoted from old news reports.
Miss Gatenby said it became apparent that many of the convicts who were transported to Van Diemen’s land in fact chose such a path.
“You would read their records, and it would be for stealing a hankie,” she said.
“You think.. Did they do that on purpose, for the chance of a better life? Most of them were just between a rock and a hard place.”
Miss Gatenby has channeled her research into print, and self-published a book that she says lets “them speak through their own words”.
She launched Death or Liberty at the cemetery at the start of April.
“[All the stories] end in the same place...a pit with hundreds of others buried nearby,” she said.
Above all, it was a quest to share their stories, and to show that they were more than just convicts. |
Ascoli Piceno () is a comune and city in the Marche region, in central Italy. Ascoli Piceno is the capital of the province of the same name.

asking him is a pretty good way, as long as you lead up to it. works most of the time for me, and they rarely get offended if they're not. Another way is asking them out for a drink. Convo can be led around to the subject. Use your imagination, it holds not limits......Keith

It's quite difficult, yes the simple way would be to ask them but you could run the risk of offending them: they may think their masculinity is being challenged if they're already insecure with their sexuality (not sexual orientation). If someone asked me the question and I was straight I would think 'well why are you asking me?' 'Is it because I act gay?' 'Do people think I'm gay then?'. The best way is probably to ask them about what girls they're into and if it gets into sexual territory then you know they're most likely to be straight....or at least bisexual. Also if you asked them outright if they were gay they may feel that you're coming onto them and that could potentially be awkward and jeopardize the friendship (assuming you're friends with this guy).
Now to figure out whether a guy's bisexual, well that's a whole different topic to which I have no clue about lol
Good luck. By the way if you have a crush on this guy try not to get too serious with your emotions before you actually know if he's gay. Been there before and it hurt a lot.
Set a gay trap. It's relatively simple... At precisely 3pm on a sunny Wednesday afternoon, you set two boxes filled with certain things in them. In box A) you place items like: the soundtrack to Yentl, a copy of Hope Floats, a blonde wig, some saltine crackers, and the latest issue of Birdhouses Monthly. In box B) you place a thread of floss, a wrench, one black boot, yesterday's paper, and an old calendar with horses on the cover. Hang around and observe which one the guy chooses. When he chooses one of the boxes it will be clear... but if he picks items from both, you're fucked (and not in a good way).
If you want to be a little more subtle than coming right out and asking him, you can ask him if he's ever been to (insert name of a local gay club or bar). If he says yes, chances are good that he is gay, bi, or, at the very least really open minded. Then you could ask if he'd like to go with you to the club or bar sometime. If he says yes, you can pretty much bet he is gay or bi and if you still aren't sure, he probably isn't the type to be offended if you just ask him directly.
Just ask. I asked a smoking hot dude from my class yesterday out. I said "Hey Ryan, how about dinner and a movie this weekend?" His reply; "No thanks I'm straight man.". To which I say "Eh, it was worth a shot." We both laughed, moved on.

The YIDDISH KING LEAR by Jacob Gordin, one of the most famous Yiddish plays of all time, to be perfo
The YIDDISH KING LEAR by Jacob Gordin, one of the most famous Yiddish plays of all time, to be performed in New York at the Orensanz Foundation, starring David Serero as King Lear.
The YIDDISH KING LEAR, written by Jacob Gordin (aka the Jewish Shakespeare), is without a doubt one of the most famous Yiddish plays of all time. Starring David Serero in the title role of King Lear, this unique play will be performed on January 30th and February 1st 2018 at 8pm at the Orensanz Foundation located in the heart of the Lower East Side, New York.
This revival will be starring opera star and actor David Serero as Reb Dovidl Moysheles (King Lear). The rest of the cast will include Arielle Beth Klein (Taybele), Alexander Chilton (Yaffe), Ross Kugman (Treytel), Sarah Feinmark (Gitele), and more, as well as Shawn Chang on the piano.
This staged-reading is adapted in English, featuring classic Yiddish songs. World premiere adaptation by David Serero.
The Angel Orensanz Foundation is one of the most prestigious venues in New York. Notable artists have performed there such as Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande and John Legend. The objective of David Serero is to bring Yiddish Theater back to the Lower East Side (which was the center of New York City's Yiddish theatre scene in the early 20th century) and the Orensanz Foundation is the ideal venue since it was formerly a synagogue.
This production is made in partnership with the YIVO foundation, home of the Yiddish culture which holds the original script of the original Yiddish King Lear.
Beth Kaplan, great-granddaughter of Jacob Gordin and author of “Finding the Jewish Shakespeare - The life and legacy of Jacob Gordin” will attend both performances and will talk after the performances about Gordin’s life and the play.
Written in 1892, Jacob Gordin's the Yiddish King Lear is a legend of the Yiddish theater. It was the signature role of the great actor Jacob Adler (father of Stella Adler). Gordin’s groundbreaking opus was a fresh interpretation of the story of a patriarch with three daughters who are unkind and disloyal to him. In Gordin’s retelling, the hero is Reb Dovidl Moysheles, a Russian-Jewish merchant whose daughters abandon their filial love and duty towards him. Only one will show him her true love. In David Serero’s adaptation, classic Yiddish songs of the era are added to the play, making it a classic Yiddish Musical!
About the YIDDISH KING LEAR
A wealthy Russian Jew prepares to celebrate Purim with his three daughters. The eldest is married to an intelligent, orthodox student of religion. The middle daughter is married to a lively young Hassid. And the youngest is married to a nice bright graduate student who has no particular use for Jewish observance at all. As you can imagine, this leads to lively discussion around the table. And when the old man announces that he's going to divide his business interests among the children and go to live in Israel, one immediately exclaims: "King Lear!" It's not a translation or an adaptation: it's the whole postmodern twist, transposed in a 1892 shtetl. This play changed Yiddish theater by bringing realism to the genre.

Q:
Component interaction in Angular2
This is my problem, I have app component, header component and home component.
in app component template I am using <header></header> to make the header component.
Now in the home component, I want to access and call a method of header component.
If I use injection to grab Header component, the injector will create a new instance (it seems components are not a singleton).
How can I get that specific header component already created?
Thanks,
A:
If you want your header component to only ever be a singleton component you'll have to add it to your bootstrap. I am not entirely sure if this is what you are asking though. It sounds like you want to use a service instead of a component.
What I would do is make a service that you would then call in your component. A service you can think of as a class with a bunch of function calls(services) within them. Then you would require them into each component, something like:
import {My_Global_Service} from './global_services/MyService'
@Component{....}
export class Header{
constructor(private _my_global_service: My_Global_Service){}
}
Then you would bootstrap your My_Global_Service so it would be a 'singleton' instance throughout your application.
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
import {My_Global_Service} from './global_services/MyService'
bootstrap(MyApp, [
My_Global_Service
])
Then you could just call this same service from your home component:
import {My_Global_Service} from './global_services/MyService'
@Component{....}
export class Home{
constructor(private _my_global_service: My_Global_Service){}
}
This will hold all of the same variables/functions in both the header and the home component.

Ann Arbor is a city in the US state of Michigan. It is the county seat of Washtenaw County. According to the 2010 United States Census, Ann Arbor was the 6th largest city in Michigan. In 2010, there were 113,934 people living there. The city is part of the Detroit Metropolitan Combined Statistial Area.
Ann Arbor was started in 1824. It is thought that the city is named after the wife, Ann, of one of the founders. The University of Michigan was moved to Ann Arbor in 1837. (Before that, the university had been in Detroit.) The city grew during the 1800s and 1900s. The only time the city did not grow was the Depression of 1873.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Ann Arbor was an important place for the Civil Rights Movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and for left-wing and liberal politics.
Today, Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan. The university is very important to the city because 30,000 people work for it. 12,000 of these workers work for the University of Michigan Health System, which are hospitals and clinics run by the university. Ann Arbor's economy is also very high-tech. High-tech companies come to the area because there are many graduates and a lot of research and development money at the university.

Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an interrogation system for an airborne radar and a radar incorporating such a system.
Description of the Prior Art
In modern combat aircraft, it is now necessary to associate to the main search and tracking radar an interrogation system, known as identification friend or foe (IFF) interrogator, for making it possible to identify detected targets. It is therefore necessary to install two antennas in the nose of the aircraft.
A known solution consists of fitting the radar antenna and the interrogator antenna in such a way that there is minimum jamming between both antennas. According to a known solution, dipoles in vertical polarization for IFF transmission-reception are arranged in front of a slot antenna, a parabola, a non-deformable Cassegrain antenna radiating in horizontal polarization. The two antennas are mechanically connected and are therefore pointed and stabilized simultaneously. In this case, the protective radome of the antennas is adapted, for each frequency band of the radar signal and interrogation signal, by a network of conductor wires for the IFF band.
Although this solution is suitable for the interrogation signal, it leads to a reduction in radar preformance, a loss of gain and a rise in the relative levels of the minor lobes of the radar due to the interaction with the IFF dipoles and the network of radome adapting wires.
In the case of antennas having a rotating polarizer mirror, there is another possible solution for fitting the antennas, but this solution cannot be used for all antenna types and in the case of a Cassegrain antenna with a rotating polarizer mirror the perturbation caused by the IFF dipoles is unacceptable. |

"The Big Bang Theory" is the most popular sitcom, and one of the most popular shows, on television. It's seventh season actually performed better than the NFL Sunday Night Football games on NBC. That makes the news that The Hollywood Reporter reported on Feb. 5 seem strange, as CBS has won the bid to air the first half of NFL Thursday Night Football when "The Big Bang Theory" normally airs.
"The Big Bang Theory" is the most consistent comedy since "Friends," which took over the spot from "Seinfield." All three shows have enjoyed the wonderful success of playing on Thursday nights and it is doubtful that "The Big Bang Theory" will leave Thursday nights at all.
The idea here is that CBS gets Thursday Night Football for just the first eight games of the NFL season and then, just as it has been since the league started playing Thursday night games, the back half will return to cable and the NFL Network.
That means that CBS could just hold off on starting "The Big Bang Theory" and its eighth season for two months, and just promote the upcoming season during the NFL football games, which should bring in monster audiences anyway.
That promotion isn't necessary for "The Big Bang Theory," which is a ratings juggernaut regardless, but could really help when it comes to promoting whatever other shows they plan to air alongside "The Big Bang Theory" on Thursday nights.
As The Hollywood Reporter suggests, this could also be a huge deal for fans because it would mean less space in the holiday season and less reruns while letting the show run at a brisker pace.

Q:
HTML links are displaying PDFs differently?
I am using Adobe Contribute (HTML editor) to edit a website. I have two links on my page that both link to the same PDF file type. However, when the links are clicked they are displaying the PDF differently in IE (the issues does not occur in Chrome): One with the PDF tools and thumbnail sidebar, and the other just as a plain PDF file by itself.
One looks like this:
The other looks like this:
Here is the HTML code:
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><strong>DATE 1 HERE</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><a href="documents/file1.pdf">FILE NAME LINK</a></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><strong>DATE 2 HERE</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><a href="documents/File2.PDF">FILE NAME LINK 2</a></p>
What I need is for them both to look like the second one. Any ideas as to what might be causing them to come up differently?
A:
Turns out that it was a setting within the PDF itself that I needed to change. The following settings fixed my issue.
Go to File>Properties
In the Document Properties window, select the Initial View tab
In the Document Properties window, choose "page only" for Page layout, and check the "hide toolbars" box.
In the Document Properties window, click the OK button

Advances in semiconductor processing and logic design have permitted an increase in the amount of logic that may be present on integrated circuit devices. As a result, computer system configurations have evolved from a single or multiple integrated circuits in a system to multiple hardware threads, multiple cores, multiple devices, and/or complete systems on individual integrated circuits. Additionally, as the density of integrated circuits has grown, the power requirements for computing systems (from embedded systems to servers) have also escalated. Furthermore, software inefficiencies, and its requirements of hardware, have also caused an increase in computing device energy consumption. In fact, some studies indicate that computing devices consume a sizeable percentage of the entire electricity supply for a country, such as the United States of America. As a result, there is a vital need for energy efficiency and conservation associated with integrated circuits. These needs will increase as servers, desktop computers, notebooks, Ultrabooks™, tablets, mobile phones, processors, embedded systems, etc. become even more prevalent (from inclusion in the typical computer, automobiles, and televisions to biotechnology).
One issue that arises in connection with efforts to cause a processor to enter into a low power state is that worst case assumptions are made in determining the entry latency and exit latency for a low power state. As a result, oftentimes a processor is prevented from entering into a requested low power state, or any low power state whatsoever. |

"Always on My Mind" is a 1972 ballad written by Wayne Carson and first released by Brenda Lee for her studio album Brenda.
Elvis Presley version
Elvis Presley recorded his own version of Always on My Mind following his separation from Priscilla. It was released as an A-side to his single Separate Ways and went to number 9 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, number 17 in the Netherlands. It also went to number 4 on the Canadian country single charts and number 16 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. It went on to be covered by Willie Nelson in 1982 and Pet Shop Boys in 1987. |

Johanna Hiedler or Johanna Huttler (19 January 1830 - 8 February 1906) was the mother of Klara Hitler and grandmother of Adolf Hitler. She lived in Waldviertel. |
A few years ago the watchmen
who were in the light, proclaimed
that the "Day of the Lord" had
come; that the King of kings and
Ruler of rulers had arrived and is
present; that he had taken unto him
his great power, and had begun his
reign.
At that time there was little
or no outward signs of any such
stupendous event; and very naturally,
as clearly foretold, there arose scoffers,
walking after their own desires,
who sneeringly asked, "Where is the
promise of his presence?
(See marginof New Revision)...all things
continue as they were," etc.
Walking
by faith, and not by sight; trusting
the infallible Word of God, the
watchmen proclaimed further as to
what means would be used by the
Stone Kingdom in striking the kingdoms
of earth; that oppressed peoples
would rise against the governments
and throw them down.
It was announced
that the "Times of Restitution"
had begun; and the faithless
asked, Where?
It was also clearly
taught that the time had come when
God's ancient people, the Jews, (beloved
for the Father's sake) would be
stirred up to begin to return to their
own land.
Lastly, the proclamation
went forth, "Babylon has fallen,"
"Come out of her, my people, that
ye partake not of her sins, that ye
receive not of her plagues."
As we said when these announcements
began to be made, there were
but few outward signs.
It required
implicit faith in the Word to believe
that these things were to be fulfilled
in "our day."
Any believer almost
was willing to assent to their being
due two or three generations in the
future.
While the world and a worldly
church still lie in darkness, to those
in the watch tower there has been increasing
light.
Already to any who
have eyes to see, the outward signs
are multiplying.
Day by day we see
all about us increased proof of our
position.
Compare 2 Tim. 3:1-7 with the days we live in, and see if
the picture is not a faithful one.
But
such things have always been, says
some one.
True, to a certain extent,
in accordance with verse 13; but are
we not reaching a climax in wickedness?
Judges, grand juries, and
others who have opportunity to see
and to know these things are alarmed
at the prospect.
The land is flooded
with the vilest literature.
The artist
and the writer vie with each other in
dishing up the horrid feast to the
hungry army.
And who compose
this insatiate and ever-increasing
multitude?
Old and young, rich
and poorwe had almost said saints [?] and sinnerswe will simply say,
church members.
It is not in novels,
story papers, etc., alone that the
poison is found.
If it were, we could
easily keep it out of our homes.
The reporters of the daily press have
caught the infection, and news items
that the briefest note of would be
quite enough, are spiced and seasoned
and served up steaming hot.
If the
facts are few, the reporter draws,
without stint, on his morbid imagination
for the balance.
What kind of
men and women will the rising generation
make, fed on such slops?
It
is not difficult to see the result; it is
already showing itself.
Boys not yet
in their teens are getting quite familiar
with the revolver; a spirit of independence
and lawlessness is revealing
itself everywhere.
Enough of this picture; let us look
at something else.
It has been
announced that the times of restitution
have begun; and that Christ's
kingdom now established, is about
to overthrow the beastly kingdoms
of earth.
Be patient, it will take
time.
The forces are at work; see
all over the earth the people are waking
up and clamoring for their rights
as never before.
Ireland is not alone.
The Irish
are only a little more demonstrative
than some others: the feeling is
universal.
The Czar of Russia has obtained
the title of the Emperor Recluse, because
he is afraid to go out amongst
his beloved [?] subjects.
He has not
yet been crowned (it is a year since
he became emperor).
Plots have
been discovered to blow up both him
and his guests at the coronation, and
it has been postponed.
Failing to
kill him, the Russians have been
amusing themselves robbing and
slaughtering the Jews.
The stories that come to us of these
atrocities read like Indian massacres,
or something worse.
We clip the
following: "In Southern Russia
alone L16,000,000 ($80,000,000) in
property have been lost, 100,000 Jews
rendered homeless, and in 45 places
where reliable statistics could be collected
there have been 40 murders
and 225 women subjected to torture."
We hope, and rather think that the
reports are, as usual, exaggerated,
yet there may have been much that
we have not heard of.
Many are
fleeing to America, but many more
are destitute, and piteously appeal
for help to come.
What does this mean in the light
of prophecy?
It means that we have
reached the period spoken of in Jer. 30:7.
"It is even the time of Jacob's
trouble; but he shall be saved out of
it [read the context].
Their coming
to America is, of course, not returning
to their own land; neither will
they go there in any such multitude
at the first gathering.
The prophecy
says, "Ye shall be gathered one by
one, O, ye children of Israel." Isa. 27:12.
It is well to remember that
there are over 30 years yet to accomplish
this work.
The recent developments
and proposed improvements
in Palestine, and all this trouble
shows plainly that the present Lord
has begun this work also.
What of Babylon?
Are there any
outward signs of her fall?
Very
many.
People are waking up to
investigate as never before.
Reverencefor old creeds is rapidly passingaway. Among some this causes a
searching to know the truth.
(Blessed
are those seekers.)
Among
others it brings nothing but skepticism,
carelessness, and hypocrisy.
Among the masses it produces infidelityan utter disregard for many
of God's laws, and contempt for all
who profess his name.
The trial of
Guiteau has evidently been an instrument
used to bring odium upon the
Christian profession.
The church is
losing its power and falling into disrespect.
The stars are falling: some
one way, some another.
Soon the
lights will be all outnot even a
candle left. Rev. 18:23.
Already
the merchants (priests) complain that
"no man buyeth their merchandise
any more."
Read the clip from the
New York Herald, in this paper,
which shows that some of the denominations
did not average one new
member per church during the past
year.
The membership completely
fails to keep pace with the growth of
the population.
One hopeful mission
statistician is so pleased with the
success amongst the heathen [where
a chief commands and all his people
are numbered in at once], that he
asserts that if Christianity can only hold its own at home the world will in
a few years be converted.
What an [R342 : page 6] idea!
It sounds like the derision of
an enemy.
It looks like an acknowledgment
that what is now preached,
though easily foisted upon and suited
to the ignorant savage, is repudiated
by the intelligent and civilized.
And
is there not much truth in this
thought?
Is it not a fact that the
most intelligent and best of the people
have outgrown the creeds?
Some,
unfortunately, failing to see the whole
truth, have drifted off to sea; others
are boldly attacking error with all
the light they have.
[See article
"Liberty of Protestantism," in Zion'sDay Star for Jan.]
One recent event should demonstrate
to all that the house has been
left desolate.
Where in all the
records of the past did a whole nation,
almost as with one voice, cry to
God in prayer without being answered?
Did God ever do so with his chosen people?
And did not all the
orthodox churches in the United
States pray that President Garfield's
life might be spared?
Even the
infallible [?] Pope mingled his prayers
with those of Ingersoll and the Protestant
churches; and one proved as
potent as the other.
If God has proved unfaithful it is
the first time.
Something is wrong.
It evidently never happened before.
One of two has become unfaithful.
Is it the Unchangeable One? or
rather, has not the hand appeared
and written on the walls of Babylon,
NUMBERED! NUMBERED! WEIGHED!
DIVIDED! and above all in letters of
fire, ICHABOD! W. I. MANN. |

David Hasselhoff has announced he's officially changed his name to David Hoff - but is it genuine?
The former Baywatch actor - who is nicknamed The Hoff - claims he has wanted to make the change for years and has overjoyed to have undergone the change.
Announcing his new moniker in a YouTube video, he said: "I've been wanting to drop the Hassel from my life for years. Now I have made it official."
And the 63-year-old star - who showed off framed documents bearing his new surname - is feeling "great" thanks to his shortened name.
He tweeted: "Big news today and a massive relief for me. I hope everyone can understand... it feels great!"
David recently admitted he is worried the forthcoming Baywatch movie will be a "joke" and would only agree to appear in the much-discussed movie alongside Zac Efron if it were to remain true to the original storyline.
Asked if he's been offered a role in the movie, David said: "I don't really know [if I'm in it]. I don't really know if I want to be in it."
David also said he'd previously been offered the chance to appear in a movie version of another of his TV shows, Knight Rider, but was unimpressed with the script.
Is it genuine or just part of a rather clever ad campaign?
He added: "You know, I saw a Knight Rider script and I hated it. The girl said, 'What did you think?' And I said, 'When it got to my part the script flew out of my hand.' I never saw it again.
"You know, if Knight Rider is true to Knight Rider, I would do it. If Baywatch is going to be a joke, I don't think so.
"I might do Baywatch the musical or something like that. Make it something as close to what it was. They laughed at it but they still loved it. I don't want it to be a joke." |

Musa edging closer to Leicester switch
Leicester City look set to break their transfer record again by securing the capture of CSKA Moscow frontman, Ahmed Musa.

According to various sources, Leicester City look to be closing on the transfer of Nigerian striker Ahmed Musa from Russian champions, CSKA Moscow.
Currently being reported by the likes of Sky Sports, BBC Sport and The Leicester Mercury, the Foxes have apparently agreed a fee with CSKA, and Musa will be heading to England early this week to discuss personal terms and complete a medical ahead of a switch to the King Power Stadium.
Record-breaking transfer
Having seen previous bids in the winter transfer window rejected, the Premier League champions now look to have got their man after a reported fee of £16m was accepted by Musa's current club. Reportedly reopening negotiations over a transfer as early as May, the two clubs now finally appear to have reached an agreement over the Nigerian frontman.
Nonetheless, regardless of the fee being discussed, the speedy striker's agent has all but confirmed that Musa will be moving to the Premier League in the next few days by saying that "everything has been finalised" and the player "will be in England for his medical on Wednesday".
Experienced
If Musa does arrive in the East Midlands as per the reports, he brings a wealth of experience with him. At only the tender age of 23, the former VVV-Venlo forward has managed to make over 200 senior appearances, scoring a respectable total of 64 goals and providing 41 assists. In fact, he has also made nearly 60 appearances for Nigeria on the international stage and has found the net 11 times, including two against Argentina at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

However, it will be the winner's mentality that Musa will bring to the East Midlands that will please Claudio Ranieri and his staff more than most. In his relatively short career, the rapid striker has managed to win the Russian Premier Liga on three occasions, the Russian Cup once and even has an African Cup of Nations winners medal in his collection.
Moreover, Foxes' fans will also look at the 20 Champions League appearances that Musa has to his name - a useful commodity considering that Ranieri's men will be embarking on their debut campaign in Europe's elite competition this season.
So, there are plenty for Leicester City supporters to get excited about in regards to this particular potential signing. |

Distinct expression of midkine and pleiotrophin in the spinal cord and placental tissues during early mouse development.
Midkine and pleiotrophin comprise a family of heparin-binding growth factors, and are expressed in overlapping tissues during the mid- to late-gestation periods of mouse development. Their distinct expression during early mouse development, as revealed by in situ hybridization, was reported. Midkine was expressed in the embryonic ectoderm from as early as embryonic day (E5.5). In the neural tube midkine was expressed specifically in the neuroepithelium, that is, in the whole area of the neural tube at E9.5, and in the ventricular zone from E10.5-13.5. At E15.5, when the neuroepithelium disappeared, midkine concomitantly became undetectable. In contrast, pleiotrophin expression started exclusively in the neural plate at E8.5, and in the lateral plate of the neural tube at E9.5. It then became restricted to a dorsal ventricular zone from E11.5-13.5, and finally to the central gray neurons at E15.5. Moreover, pleiotrophin was expressed in the ventral horns. Among placental tissues, midkine was detected in the chorion, the fetal component of the placenta, whereas pleiotrophin was found in the decidua basalis, the maternal component of the placenta. The distinct expression of midkine and pleiotrophin suggests their differential role in early development. |

Garlic (species Allium sativum) is a type of plant that people eat for food. Garlic is related to onions, shallots, and leeks. It has a very strong flavor and smell. Most of the time, people use it as a flavoring so that it helps make food taste better.
Garlic is used as herbal medicine in the treatment of cold and flu. It has side effects of heartburn, flatulence and sweating.
The part of the garlic plant that people eat is called the head. It grows at the bottom of a long green stalk. People pull the head apart into smaller pieces called cloves of garlic. Cloves have papery skin on them. People peel off the skin before cooking the cloves.
People plant garlic in the fall right after the first frost. They plant the clove like a seed. One clove can grow into a whole head. The garlic plant grows its roots before the ground freezes for winter. People harvest (collect) the garlic in the middle of the next summer.
Folklore
Garlic is in legends about vampires. In these legends, vampires do not like garlic. Garlic keeps vampires away. Writers for the Toronto Garlic Festival say this might be because the vampire legend comes from the disease porphyria. People with porphyria do not like to eat foods that have sulfur in them, like garlic. |

This is not a hike of only FT. Rosecrans, but of a longer walk along the San Diego Bay that included walking thru Ft. Rosecrans. This walk is one that I've been wanting to do for awhile. It started just outside the entrance booth to Cabrillo National Monument and ended in Little Italy, near downtown. It is mostly flat, except for going down hill from Point Loma. It is an urban walk, but a nice one because it affords beautiful views of the San Diego Bay. |

The Franklin County Coroner’s Office confirmed the body of Reagan Tokes, 21, was found in a Grove City metro park on Thursday, approximately 11 miles from where she was last seen on Wednesday night.
Grove City Police said they arrested Brian Golsby in connection with the murder early Saturday morning. He is charged with aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery.
Golsby was released from prison in November 2016 after serving six years for rape and kidnapping, Grove City Police Sgt. Chris White told NBC4 Columbus. He was a registered sex offender in the county.

Tokes, a psychology senior at Ohio State University from Toledo, Ohio, worked at a restaurant in a north Columbus arts district where she was last seen, according to her missing persons report.
Police have found nothing to link Golsby and Tokes, White told NBC4.
Her roommates told police that they last heard from her on Wednesday night — via a group text — after she finished at work, but they reported her missing on Thursday when it seemed Tokes had not returned home and she did not show up for work.
This, the roommates said, was unusual since, as of late, Tokes only went to school or work. She had been depressed after a recent breakup with a long-term boyfriend.
A park visitor found her body on Thursday afternoon when he drove into the area. He and another man who had arrived in a separate car saw the body 15 feet from the road at the park's entrance and immediately called 911, police told NBC4.
Grove City Police later found her car, a 1999 Acura TL, in Columbus. Inside the car, police found evidence that connected Golsby to the case.
Local police with the help of the Ohio Attorney General Bureau of Criminal Investigations are continuing to investigate the case as a homicide.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Reagan Tokes, a psychology student at Ohio State," the university's communications department said in a statement. “We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this extremely difficult time.”
Tokes was prepared to graduate from Ohio State in the spring.
Today my dad emailed me diploma frames and told me to pick one out and I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up — Reagan (@reagantokes) February 5, 2017
Tokes sister and uncle posted remembrances on social media.

Golsby will be arraigned on Monday at 9 a.m. ET. |
Santo Monti (1855 - June 4, 1923) was an Italian priest and historian.
Monti was born in Como. He studied for the Catholic priesthood at the Villoresi di Monza seminary. He was ordained as a priest in 1879. The Bishop of Como encouraged Monti to study theology in Rome. Monti received his degree in theology in 1880. His first job as a priest was in Urio, a small town in Province of Como. Then he was a priest at the church of San Giorgio in Como until 1881. After 1881 he was the chaplain of the church's cemetery.
He was very active in the cultural life of Como. In 1888 he became vice-president of the Como Historical Society. In 1906 he became the president of the society. He served as the president until he died in 1923. He was also the curator of the Civic Museum of Como and a member of the Provincial Commission for the Conservation of Monuments. Monti died in Como. |
The “building blocks” of bird calls resemble those of human languages, according to new research.
Through analysis of the calls of the chestnut-crowned babbler, a highly social bird from the Australian Outback, the researchers say they’ve gained new insight into the evolution of human language.
Human languages comprise meaningful words, which themselves are built from different combinations of meaningless sounds. This new research into bird calls, or vocalizations, uncovers that they can, like human languages, also break down into distinct meaningless sounds, or “building blocks.”
Previous research demonstrated that chestnut-crowned babbler calls seemed to be composed of two different sounds “A” and “B” in different arrangements when performing specific behaviors.
When flying, the birds produced a flight call “AB,” but when feeding chicks in the nest they emitted “BAB” provisioning calls. In the current study, the authors used playback experiments, previously used to test speech-sound discrimination in human infants, to probe the perception of the sound elements in babblers.
Listen to the in-flight call:
Listen to the provisioning call:
“Through systematic comparisons we tested which of the elements babblers perceived as equivalent or different sounds. In doing so, we were able to confirm that the calls could be broken up into two perceptually distinct sounds that are shared across the calls in different arrangements,” says lead author Sabrina Engesser of the University of Zurich.
“Furthermore, none of comprising elements carried the meaning of the calls confirming the elements are meaningless” she adds.
“To our knowledge, this is the first time that the meaning-generating building blocks of a non-human communication system have been experimentally identified,” says coauthor Simon Townsend of the University of Warwick and the University of Zurich.
“Although the building blocks in the babbler system may be of a very simple kind, it might still help us understand how combinatoriality initially evolved in humans,” he says.
“This system is reminiscent of the way humans use sounds to form meaningful words” coauthor Andy Russell of the University of Exeter explains.
These findings raise the exciting possibility that the capacity to generate meaning from meaningless building blocks is widespread in animals, but the authors caution there are still considerable differences between such systems and word generation in language.
They emphasize that a focus on the acoustic distinctiveness of sounds in meaningful animal vocalizations offers a promising approach to investigate the building blocks of non-human animal communication systems.
The research appears in PNAS. Additional researchers from the universities of Macquarie and New South Wales contributed to the work.

Histamine-2-receptor antagonists and antacids in the critically ill population: stress ulceration versus nosocomial pneumonia.
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate whether stress ulcer prophylaxis with histamine-2-receptor antagonists or antacids reduces mortality in critically ill patients. It appears that sucralfate results in a lower incidence of nosocomial pneumonia than either antacids or histamine-2-receptor antagonists. With respect to mortality, strong trends favored sucralfate over both antacids and histamine-receptor antagonists. |

One thing that occurred to me today is that most people don’t realize that because Mozilla Developer Center’s documentation site uses Lucene for search, you can use powerful queries when searching to help limit your results to more closely match what you’re looking for.
You can do some pretty powerful stuff; for example, if you’re looking for information about XML templates, you can search on “XML and template”. This will leave out the articles on XUL templates.
You can also limit your search to just article titles, by using the “title” operator, like this: “title:(XML and template)”. This search prioritizes results that include both “XML” and “template” in the article’s title.
It’s also important to note that certain characters need to be escaped in your search queries, by prefacing them with a backslash. These special characters are:
+ – && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ ” ~ * ? : \
If you fail to escape these characters, you’ll get a somewhat cryptic error message about invalid syntax in your search query.
Hopefully this information will help you get more accurate and helpful results when searching MDC! |

Synthesis of LiNbO3 Nanoparticles by Citrate Gel Method.
We present investigations on the preparation of nearly stoichiometric lithium niobate (LiNbO3) nanoparticles using citrate gel method. Citric acid is used as a chelating agent and ethylene glycol is added for polyestarification between the chelates. In addition to the main lithium niobate phase, the secondary phase of lithium niobate, LiNb3O8, and an unreacted phase of Nb2O5 were also observed in the resultant product. The appearance of unwanted phases is a serious problem in citrate gel method. We have observed that the synthesis parameters such as molar ratio of citric acid to metal ions (R1), pH, molar ratio of ethylene glycol to citric acid (R2) and calcination temperature strongly influence the presence of the unwanted phases and these parameters are optimized to remove these phases. Evolution of the phase was investigated by powder XRD whereas TG/DTA was done to find out the crystallization temperature. It was observed that nearly stoichiometric and pure LiNbO3 nanoparticles can be obtained with the optimized parameters, R1 = 3, pH = 8, R2 ≥ 2 and calcination temperature = 700 degrees C. The stoichiometry of the synthesized LiNbO3 nanoparticles was investigated using Raman spectroscopy. |
The Orange Julius is an American fast food, hot dog and fruit drink beverage restaurant chain. The company began its business operations in Los Angeles, California in 1926. Orange Julius is known for a popular drink named after the restaurant. The beverage is blended ice, powdered egg whites, milk, orange juice and vanilla flavoring.
History
The drink grew from an orange juice stand that was opened in 1926 by Julius Freed. Original sales were only about $20 each day (that equals almost $290 in 2020 United States dollars). Three years later, Bill Hamlin, Freed's real estate broker, developed a blend that made the acidic orange juice not bother his stomach as much. Freed's stand began giving out the drink. It had a more bubbly and smoother texture. The sales at the stand went up when the new drink was introduced. The sales increased to just over $100 per day.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Orange Julius was always sold from a variety of outlets. They included county and state fairs along with standalone Orange Julius stands.
The Orange Julius chain was bought out by the International Dairy Queen Corporation in 1987. IDQ, a subsidiary for Berkshire Hathaway, has the rights to all Orange Julius stores. It has expanded the chain so its drinks are offered and sold from most of its Dairy Queen stores.
Naming and mascot
During the 1970s and 1980s, Orange Julius beverage stands used the images of a devil having a pitchfork around an orange. Their slogan was "A Devilish Good Drink". The devil images looked almost like Sparky (the Sun Devil). The actual Sparky was the mascot used by Arizona State University. The Orange Julius business retired the logo and mascot when threats of a lawsuit came from members of the ASU almuni association. |
Q:
Program Overwriting Array with Null
For a project in school (intro to java), we have to make a program using arrays. I decided to make a login program that stores logins. It works perfectly, except when deleting items. This is my code
public void delete() throws FileNotFoundException{
int p;
c.clear();
c.print("Please enter a website to delete it's login info: ");
String delete_name = c.readLine();
Boolean found = false;
// Search for the search key, and display the matching elements
c.println("Searching for " + delete_name + "...");
for (int i = 0; i < pass.length; i++)
if (pass[i][0].equals(delete_name)) {
c.println("Deleting login for " + pass[i][0]);
String new_array[][] = new String[pass.length - 1][3];
//remove an element
for (int w = 0; i < new_array.length; i++)
for (int j = 0; j <= 2; j++) {
p = w;
if (i >= p) {
new_array[w][j] = pass[w + 1][j];
} else {
new_array[w][j] = pass[w][j];
}
}
found = true;
pass = new_array;
}
if (found == false) {
c.println("No luck! " + delete_name + " wasn't found, please try again.");
delete();
}
fileWriter();
}
When it writes to the file, anything after the part that should have been deleted gets changed to "null".
Sorry if the format is awful, I'm just starting with java :) Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
A:
When deleting a row of a 2D array in Java, you can use this shortcut (no for-loops needed)
List<String[]> tempArr = new ArrayList<String[]>(Arrays.asList(pass));
//Remove row at index of "delete_name":
for(int i = 0; i < pass.length; i++){
if(pass[i][0].equals(delete_name)){
tempArr.remove(i);
}
}
String[][] new_array = tempArr.toArray(new String[][]{});
However, this solution only works if you are only deleting one object in the List. I would suggest looking into "iterators" to make this solution better.
EDIT:
Here is an example with an iterator
String[][] pass = new String[][]{{"Name","data1","data2"}};
List<String[]> tempArr = new ArrayList<String[]>(Arrays.asList(pass));
for (Iterator<String[]> iterator = tempArr.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
String id = iterator.next()[0];
if (id.equals(delete_name)){
iterator.remove();
}
}

Early vocabulary development in Mandarin (Putonghua) and Cantonese.
Parent report instruments adapted from the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) examined vocabulary development in children aged 0 ; 8 to 2 ; 6 for two Chinese languages, Mandarin (n=1694) and Cantonese (n=1625). Parental reports suggested higher overall scores for Mandarin- than for Cantonese-speaking children from approximately 1 ; 4 onward. Factors relevant to the difference were only-child status, monolingual households and caregiver education. In addition to the comparison of vocabulary scores overall, the development of noun classifiers, grammatical function words common to the two languages, was assessed both in terms of the age and the vocabulary size at which these terms are acquired. Whereas age-based developmental trajectories again showed an advantage for Beijing children, Hong Kong children used classifiers when they had smaller vocabularies, reflecting the higher frequencies and greater precision of classifier use in adult Cantonese. The data speak to the importance of using not just age, but also vocabulary size, as a metric by which the acquisition of particular linguistic elements can be examined across languages. |
Amylase is an enzyme which breaks down starch into sugars which the body can use.
More accurately, it is a family of similar enzymes which work in a wide range of animals, plants and fungi. There are two variants in humans: alpha-amylase, and gamma-amylase.
Alpha-amylase is a major digestive enzyme. Its optimum pH is 6.7-7.0. It is found in saliva and pancreatic juice. It takes starch chains and breaks them into smaller pieces with two or three glucose units. It can break down starch into maltose. It works in the mouth and stomach during digestion.
The gamma-amylase has most acidic optimum pH of all amylases because it is most active around pH 3. Therefore, it works best in the stomach, which does have an acidic pH.
Human evolution
Apparently, early humans did not possess salivary amylase. The closest evolutionary relatives of humans, chimpanzees and bonobos, have either one or no copies of the gene for producing salivary amylase. A duplication event of the AMY1 gene led to the production of amylase in the saliva. The same event occurred independently in rodents. This shows the importance of salivary amylase in organisms that eat relatively large amounts of starch.
Carbohydrates are a food source rich in energy. After the agricultural revolution, human diet began to rely more on plant and animal domestication in place of hunting and gathering. This shift marked the beginning of a diet composed of 49% carbohydrates as opposed to the previous 35% observed in Paleolithic humans. As such, starch became a staple of human diet. Humans that contained amylase in the saliva would benefit from increased ability to digest starch more efficiently and in higher quantities.
Not all humans have the same number of copies of the AMY1 gene. Populations which rely on carbohydrates have a higher number of AMY1 copies than populations that eat little starch. The number of AMY1 gene copies in humans can range from six copies in agricultural groups such as European-American and Japanese (two high starch populations) to only 2-3 copies in hunter-gatherer societies such as the Biaka, Datog, and Yakuts.
The correlation between starch consumption and number of AMY1 copies suggests that more AMY1 copies in high starch populations is caused by natural selection. It is a favorable phenotype for those individuals. Therefore, it is likely that having more copies of AMY1 in a high starch population increases fitness and produces healthier, fitter offspring. Geographically close populations with different eating habits possess a different number of copies of the AMY1 gene. This offers strong evidence that natural selection has acted on this gene. |

Maula Jatt () is one of the most popular movies in the history of Pakistani cinema. It is a Punjabi movie starring actor Sultan Rahi in the lead role and with Aseia and Mustafa Qureshi as the villain Noori Nuth.
Maula Jutt was a classic, a movie that scored heavily and reached cult status both in Pakistan and the Republic of India. Such was the impact of the movie that it was copied by movie makers in India and also in Pakistan where several movies with the suffix "Jatt" were made. However, no copy of this movie could ever hope to match the outstanding dialogues in the movie and the chemistry between Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi.
This movie belongs to a different genre and represents a culture which is so much part of the rural Punjab (Pakistan).

Giant Helping Hand
Time for a ‘feel-good’ story, something positive and uplifting to raise the spirits until they soar with hope and belief in the goodness of mankind.
It wasn’t just because the weather was stunning at De Zalze golf estate last Friday, nor that the company in the fourball at the Jacques Kallis Foundation golf day was hearty and in-form. It was, as always, because of the unmistakable look in the eyes of boys whose lives have been irreversibly changed for the better.
Proudly seated at the prize-giving dinner in their smart school blazers, with Kallis, the five 2009 scholarship winners had smiles as broad as you could ever see. Ranging in age from 14 to 17, boys with cricketing potential from anywhere in the country are given a place at one of four ‘traditional’ cricket playing schools – Maritzburg College, Selborne, Pretoria Boys High or Kallis’ alma mater, Wynberg Boys High in Cape Town.
Since the Foundation was formed in 2006 with the entire proceeds of Kallis’ Benefit Year (close to R800,000), there have been 19 matriculants from disadvantaged backgrounds, all of whom continue to make progress with their cricket careers in various academies and provincial amateur teams around the country.
From 2010 however, there may be more than five inductees per year thanks to the extraordinary generousity of a lady who died last year and left just over R3.5 million rand to the Foundation.
The announcement was made before prize-giving at De Zalze rendering the memorabilia auction a little redundant but putting a huge smile on the faces of Kallis, his manager Dave Rundle and everyone else associated with the Foundation.
Madeleine Hiltermann never married and lived a humble life in a modest town house in Newlands and only met Kallis once. But she liked what she saw and heard from South Africa’s greatest all round cricketer to make an alteration to her last will and testament significant enough to change the Foundation forever.
“It costs about R45,000 per boy, per year,” says Rundle. “The golf day is one of two or three ways we raise money but we are heavily reliant on our patrons and other sponsors. Madeleine Hiltermann has changed the landscape now. With careful planning we might even be able to expand and help more boys with their education and their cricket.”
It was Kallis’ simple explanation of his motives and intentions which, apparently, won the wealthy spinster’s admiration. “I had a lot of help from a lot of people along the way. Mum died when I was very young but people always helped us because Dad was working a lot of the time. When he died in 2003 people continued to help. Now I want to help others and give them the chances I was lucky enough to have,” Kallis says.
Bhoteki Mbombi was at the dinner, too. He matriculated last year and is now in his first year studying Human Movement at Stellenbosch University: “It has been an incredible journey since I was first ‘spotted’ in Limpopo three years ago. I owe everything to Jacques – what he is doing with his Foundation is very, very special.” |
The Attitude Era was a period in the World Wrestling Federation and professional wrestling history. It occurred in response to the Monday Night Wars with WCW and ECW. It officially started on November 9, 1997 at Survivor Series 1997, with the Montreal Screwjob and debut of the "WWF Attitude" scratch logo, culminated with the conclusion of the Monday Night Wars in 2001, and ended on May 6, 2002 when WWF rebranded to WWE with the "Get the 'F' Out" marketing campaign.
The Attitude Era professional, like the 1980s wrestling boom, made wrestling more popular in the United States from the late 1990s to early 2000s. Television ratings and pay-per-view reached their highest points. The Attitude Era was different from the more traditional WWF programming. It tried to attract the young adult demographic. It did this by making the product into a more controversial "shock value" form of entertainment. This was similar to the "Trash TV" genre popularized in the 1990s.
Notable moments
November 9, 1997 - At the 1997 Survivor Series, just before the match between Shawn Michaels and WWF Champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart for the WWF Title, a video promo aired featuring the debut of the "WWF Attitude" scratch logo. Towards the end of the match, Michaels locked Bret Hart into Bret's own submission, The Sharpshooter. Vince McMahon was at ringside, and told referee Earl Hebner to ring the bell. The events after the match came were controversial because in the storyline Bret did not tap out when locked into submission, and he was not supposed to lose at all. Due to the fact it took place in Montreal, Canada, the event has been called the Montreal Screwjob. This was also known to be Bret Hart's last match in the WWF.
December 8, 1997 - During this episode of Raw, Stone Cold Steve Austin knocks WWF Chairman Vince McMahon off the ring, thus entering the Austin/McMahon saga.
March 29, 1998 - The Undertaker beats Kane at WrestleMania XIV, making Kane the seventh opponent whom Taker had beaten. Later that night "Stone Cold" Steve Austin wins the WWF Championship from Shawn Michaels.
March 30, 1998 - With Shawn Michaels out because of back injury, Triple H calls himself the leader of DX, which he adds the New Age Outlaws and X-Pac to the group.
April 6, 1998 - In this episode of Raw, DX goes to "war" with WCW when they invaded a WCW Monday Nitro show in the Scope in Norfolk, Virginia. For the first time since June 17, 1996, Raw won over WCW's Monday Nitro in the ratings.
May 11, 1998 - D-Generation X actually invades WCW headquarters.
June 28, 1998 - At the 1998 King of the Ring, Mankind loses against The Undertaker in the third Hell in a Cell match. In the first moments of the match, the Undertaker threw Mankind off the roof of the cage. Later that night, Kane won his first major title from Stone Cold Steve Austin.
June 29, 1998 - Stone Cold Steve Austin wins the WWF Championship back from Kane
July 27, 1998 - Triple H and X-Pac face each other for the first time in a Triple Threat Match, against The Rock.
October 5, 1998 - On this episode of Raw, Mankind visits an injured Vince McMahon. During this part, Mankind introduces Mr. Socko, a hand-drawn sock puppet. Mr. Socko became so popular that it became a part of Mankind. A few moments later, in another part, Stone Cold Steve Austin pretends to be a doctor. He starts to attack McMahon. From this date until Nitro's last episode on March 26, 2001, Raw took the lead in the "ratings war". Nitro never passed it since (except on October 26, 1998).
November 23, 1998 - After his return, Shawn Michaels turned on D-Generation X. He joined Vince McMahon's Corporation after hitting X-Pac with Sweet Chin Music.
December 7, 1998 - The Undertaker has his druids chain Stone Cold Steve Austin to his "Undertaker Symbol" and raised high into the arena in the entrance. This caused controversy within religious groups because it physically showed Austin being crucified.
January 4, 1999 - Shawn Michaels turns against The Corporation and joins DX once again. After joining DX again, the Corporation attacks Michaels. It says he is definitely out. Later that night, Mankind won his first World Title from The Rock.
March 28, 1999 - The Undertaker beats Big Boss Man in the fifth Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania XV. This made Boss Man the eighth opponent to lose against the Undertaker at the pay-per-view event. After the match, Taker (kayfabe) hung Boss Man from the cell. It is also the same WrestleMania that Triple H turns against X-Pac and joins The Corporation.
May 23, 1999 - At the 1999 WWF Over the Edge event, Owen Hart was going under the name The Blue Blazer. He was fighting against The Godfather for the IC Title. Owen fell to his death when he was lowering himself from the rafters, but let go too early. WWF officials decided to continue the show after the accident, a decision that attracted widespread criticism and subsequent debate.
July 25, 1999 - X-Pac and Road Dogg beat Chyna and Billy Gunn for the rights of D-Generation X.
August 9, 1999 - "Y2J" Chris Jericho made his first WWF appearance.
August 26, 1999 - WWF SmackDown! made its season television network premiere on UPN.
September 23, 1999 - Road Dogg and Billy Gunn beat the New Age Outlaws to win the WWF Tag Team titles from the Rock 'n' Sock Connection.
September 27, 1999 - In this episode of Raw, Mankind hosted the famous This is Your Life segment, for The Rock. This part alone had the highest rating for any professional wrestling segment on television (8.4) to date.
November 1999 - August 2000: Triple H left DX when he "married" Stephanie McMahon. Billy Gunn was soon kicked out, and Road Dogg and X-Pac soon split up after a short time as a tag team.
March 26, 2001 - Vince McMahon told the world on Monday Night Raw that he bought WCW. Later in the night during a live Raw/Nitro simulcast, Shane McMahon appeared on WCW Monday Nitro and (kayfabe) announced that it was he who had in fact bought WCW. He also said he wanted to go into competition against his father.
April 1, 2001 - The Undertaker beats Triple H at WrestleMania X-Seven. This was his ninth victory at WrestleMania. Stone Cold Steve Austin beat The Rock with the help of Vince McMahon. This event and WWF's purchase of WCW days ago are considered by many to be both the peak of the Attitude Era and the start of its decline.
May 28-November 18, 2001 - The Invasion angle took over the WWF as couple of WCW and ECW stars invading the WWF after their organizations were shutdown. This rivalry between The Alliance vs Team WWF was spent seven months until the Survivor Series pay per view. Where The Rock and his team defeated The Alliance where they won the battle. Also on that night, every championship from WWF and WCW got unified as well.
December 9, 2001 - Chris Jericho won his first undisputed championship at Vengeance where he defeated both The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to reclaim both WWF and WCW World Heavyweight Championships.
January 7, 2002 - After 8 months, Triple H returns to the WWF Raw in Madison Square Garden after he accidentally torn his quadriceps.
February 17, 2002 - The nWo (Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash made their return to the WWF after the demise of WCW) made their WWF debut at No Way Out.
March 17, 2002 - The Icon vs Icon match between Hulk Hogan and The Rock took place in Toronto, Canada at WrestleMania X8.
March 25, 2002 - The very first draft lottery as the beginning of the Brand Extension took place at Raw in Pennsylvania State University as WWF superstars went to their separate brands between Raw and SmackDown.
May 6, 2002 - The WWF (World Wrestling Federation) changed its name to the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), due to a lawsuit between the company and the World Wildlife Fund. Many cited this moment to be the official end of the Attitude Era. |

Finn opened three weeks ago and is co-owned by chef Marcus Wilson and his Finnish wife Laura Winter, whose roots inspired both the name and the Scandinavian undertones of the cafe.
Finn does all-day brunch with a combination of the familiar and a handful of original dishes too. The rustic breakfast board couples traditional fare with haute cuisine, such as granola, boiled egg and hummus, duck rillettes, salmon, cheese and a baguette. A glance around the cafe reveals the most popular dish is the chewy sourdough topped with mixed-milk feta, slivers of smoked salmon and surprisingly refreshing smashed peas.
Located in a quiet block on Carlisle Street opposite the St Kilda Town Hall, the exterior of Finn is modest. The interior is clean and airy. But despite its Scandinavian theme, it is is not as consciously minimalist as many of its counterparts in Melbourne. The large buckets of fresh produce in the corner aren’t just for show – a kitchen hand ducks out occasionally to grab a lemon, a beetroot.
Lining the wall is a rustic wooden trestle perfect for communal dining. Private tables are arranged with enough elbow room between them for leafing through the Sunday paper. |
Night of the Hurricane is a three-part crossover event in the Animation Domination block on Fox. It included three animated series created by Seth MacFarlane - Family Guy, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show.
The episodes were originally going to be broadcast on May 1, 2011. However, after the 2011 Super Outbreak, a series of tornadoes that killed many people in the Southern United States, Fox decided not to broadcast it on that day. They broadcast rerun episodes of the three shows instead. The three new episodes were broadcast in the next season. |
Milton J. Daniels
Milton John Daniels (April 18, 1838 – December 1, 1914) was a U.S. Representative from California.
Born in Cobleskill (village), New York, Daniels attended the public schools. His family moved to Bradford County, Pennsylvania, and he worked with his father in the lumber business. He moved to Rochester, Minnesota, in 1856, and was appointed deputy postmaster of Rochester in 1859. In 1860 he entered Middlebury Academy, Wyoming County, New York.
During the Civil War he volunteered for service on April 23, 1861. Returning to Minnesota in August 1862, he raised a company and was commissioned second lieutenant of Company F, Ninth Regiment, Minnesota Volunteers. During the Indian War of 1862, he took command of the Third Minnesota Mounted Infantry. In 1863, he joined his company at St. Louis in 1863, and was commissioned captain. In March 1865 was commissioned captain and commissary of subsistence by President Lincoln.
After the war he returned to Minnesota and engaged in banking. Later he served as member of the State house of representatives from 1882-1886 and in the State senate from 1886–1890. He also served as president of the Minnesota State Board of Asylums for the Insane from 1882–1888.
He moved to California in 1889 and located in Riverside where he engaged in horticultural pursuits.
Daniels was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-eighth Congress (March 4, 1903 – March 3, 1905). He did not run for renomination to the Fifty-ninth Congress.
He resumed his occupation as horticulturist in Riverside until his death there on December 1, 1914.
He was interred in Evergreen Cemetery.

Oppositional defiant disorder is a mental disorder. It causes irritable and angry behaviour of at least 6 months, noticeable in communication with other people. Unlike those with conduct disorder, though, most people with ODD do not usually get aggressive towards other people or animals, steal or cause destruction. People with ODD, however, do argue and deliberately, often cause trouble.
Symptoms
In order to be diagnosed with ODD, the person must have a behavior pattern lasting at least six months. At least four of these eight symptoms must be present for that time:
Often argues with adults
Goes against adults' requests and rules
Deliberately annoys other people
Blames other people for things they have done wrong
Angry and resentful of other people
Spiteful/seeks revenge
Gets annoyed easily
About 10.2% of people have or have had ODD (11.2% of males and 9.2% of females). In many cases this condition worsens into conduct disorder, which often worsens into antisocial personality disorder. This is more likely in boys than girls, and more likely if the person also has attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. ODD typically begins in childhood. It is the most common mental disorder in children. It is unusual in adults, because the affected person usually either recovers or develops ASPD.
ODD is more common in family members of people who have ODD, CD or ASPD. It is more common in poor urban areas.
Most people who have ODD also have other mental disorders, most often ADHD. Many children who have ODD have problems with alcohol and drugs in their adolescence and adulthood. |
Level Statistics and Localization Transitions of Lévy Matrices.
This work provides a thorough study of Lévy, or heavy-tailed, random matrices (LMs). By analyzing the self-consistent equation on the probability distribution of the diagonal elements of the resolvent we establish the equation determining the localization transition and obtain the phase diagram. Using arguments based on supersymmetric field theory and Dyson Brownian motion we show that the eigenvalue statistics is the same one as of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble in the whole delocalized phase and is Poisson-like in the localized phase. Our numerics confirm these findings, valid in the limit of infinitely large LMs, but also reveal that the characteristic scale governing finite size effects diverges much faster than a power law approaching the transition and is already very large far from it. This leads to a very wide crossover region in which the system looks as if it were in a mixed phase. Our results, together with the ones obtained previously, now provide a complete theory of Lévy matrices. |

Handcuffs are a type of restraint, often used by police to ensure suspects cannot escape or hurt anyone. They do this by securing a person's wrists together. They are usually metal and consist of two parts linked together by a chain. Handcuffs cannot be removed without the right key, and a handcuffed person cannot move their wrists more than a short distance apart. Usually they are put on behind the back.
Styles
There are three main types of handcuffs: chain, hinged, and solid bar. While they are harder to carry, rigid handcuffs allow a number of differences in cuffing. Both rigid and hinged cuffs can be used one-handed to apply pain-compliance/control techniques. Different accessories are available to improve the security or increase the hardness of handcuffs. These include boxes that fit over the chain or hinge and can be locked with a padlock.
In 1933 the Royal Canadian Mounted Police used a type called "Mitten Handcuffs". These stopped criminals from being able to grab the officer's tools, such as their gun. It was used by some in law enforcement but it was never popular.
Handcuffs can be made from different metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium, or from synthetic polymers.
The National Museum of Australia has a number of handcuffs in its collection. These can be from as early as the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Double locks
Handcuffs with double locks have a piece that can stop the cuff from getting tighter. Tightening could be done on purpose or by struggling. Handcuffs may cause nerve damage or loss of circulation if they are tightened. Some wearers could tighten the cuffs to try to escape. They do this by trying to escape when the officer is loosening the cuffs. Double locks also make picking the locks more difficult.
There are three kinds of double locks described in a Smith & Wesson brochure:
Lever lock
Moving a lever on the cuff makes the lock move into a position that locks the bolt. No tool is needed to double lock this type of cuff.
Push pin lock
A small peg on the key is inserted into a hole to engage the lock.
Slot lock
These are also used with a peg, but here it is inserted into a slot and moved sideways to engage the lock.
Plastic handcuffs
Plastic handcuffs, are lightweight plastic strips that look like electrical cable ties. Soldiers and police can carry a lot of them at once. This is useful for some situations, such as during big protests and riots. In recent years, airlines have started to carry plastic handcuffs to restrain troublesome passengers. Disposable handcuffs could be considered cost-inefficient. This is because they cannot be loosened, and have to be cut off to let a restrained person be fingerprinted, or to use the bathroom.
However, this usage means that cheap handcuffs are used in times where steel ones would normally be unused for long times. Recent products have been made that deal with this. These include disposable plastic restraints that can be opened with a key. These are more expensive than traditional plastic restraints, since they can only be used for a small number of times, usually only one, and are not as strong. In addition, many people think plastic restraints are more likely to cause nerve or soft-tissue damage to the wearer than metal handcuffs.
Legcuffs
When a suspect is extremely aggressive, leg irons may be used as well. Sometimes the chain connecting the leg irons to each other is looped around the chain of the handcuffs, resulting in the prisoner being "hog-tied" or "hog cuffed". In a few rare cases, people lying on their stomachs have died from positional asphyxia. This makes the practice very controversial, and has led to it being restricted, or even banned, in many places.
Keys
Most handcuffs today in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Latin America can be opened with the same key. This makes transporting prisoners easier. However, there are handcuff makers who use different keys. Maximum security handcuffs need special keys. Handcuff keys usually do not work with thumbcuffs. The Cuff Lock handcuff key padlock uses this same standard key.
In addition to the Universal handcuff key, a few modified designs exist. One kind of key is designed to fit behind an officer's badge. |

She is, however, an orc assassination rogue with a potty mouth — and the Maine Republican Party believes that disqualifies her from public office.
In an unusual press release issued Thursday, the Maine GOP attacked Lachowicz for a “bizarre double life” in which she’s a devotee of the hugely popular online role-playing game World of Warcraft. In the game, she’s “Santiaga,” an "orc assassination rogue" with green skin, fangs, a Mohawk and pointy ears.
Lachowicz is a Democrat running against incumbent state Sen. Tom Martin in south-central Maine, a heavily Democratic district of about 80,000 people. Martin, elected in 2010, is the first Republican to hold the seat since the 1960s, and his seat is one Democrats are eager to flip back.
Lachowicz has blogged under her own name about her World of Warcraft achievements as well as left-wing politics in a dedicated section of the liberal DailyKos.Com. The Maine GOP excerpted several provocative lines form her posts including one on tax policy that concludes, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I may have to go and hunt down Grover Norquist and drown him in my bathtub.”
Other postings use curse words and make to the joy of “stab[bing] things,” joke about “being in a Socialist guild” and admit to “seriously slacking off at work.”
Martin said he was unaware of the state Republican Party’s press release or Lachowicz’s hobby until contacted by POLITICO. He said he’s met his opponent once so far and she “seemed like a nice lady.” He said he deplores “mudslinging politics.”
Still, the state GOP is going all the way on his behalf, with a special website, ColleensWorld.Com, and mail pieces to be sent to voters attacking Lachowicz this week.
“We think anyone making comments about drowning Grover Norquist and stabbing things shows a shocking level of immaturity and poor judgment that voters should know about,” Maine GOP party spokesman David Sorenson said. “Certainly the fact that she spends so much time on a video game says something about her work ethic and, again, her immaturity.”
According to her website, Lachowicz has a master’s degree in social work and runs the school-based programs for a statewide mental health center. She’s the former Democratic Party chairwoman for her town and has served as vice chairwoman of the county party.
The candidate did not return calls or emails seeking comment, but the Maine Democratic Party responded swiftly by creating a website to collect donations for "a gamer who's under attack." The party's chairman, Ben Grant, also issued a statement calling the attacks "a new low this year."
"Colleen may play 'World of Warcraft' online, but it has been far more harmful to Maine people that Tom Martin has been playing 'Worlds of Hurt' (at level 90) with their pensions, access to health care, and public schools," Grant said. "It's time GOP grew up and talked about the real issues.”
Martin said he has no plans to make an issue out of Lachowicz’s alter-ego and explained that the parties frequently operate without consulting candidates in local Maine races.
“From the first time I was elected, I didn’t like the mudslinging,” said Martin, who owns Nitram Excavation Services. “Somebody’s personal life is their personal life. What you do in society and in the community is what matters. I’ve seen three or four attack ads against me from the Democratic Party. We have no control over that, which is unfortunate.”
Sorenson had no apologies.
“It’s pretty outrageous, it really is,” he said. “It’s something you don’t see every cycle.”

From 1959 to 1966, he won eight premierships in a row with the Dragons. Raper was born in Revesby, Sydney, New South Wales.
For the Australia national team, Raper had a record 33 Test caps between 1959 and 1968. He played in six World Cup games between 1960 and 1968. He captained Australia eight times in 1967-68. He has since been named as one of the nation's best rugby league players of the 20th century. He was named an "Immortal" in 1981.
Raper died due to dementia on 9 February 2022 in Caringbah, Sydney. He was 82. |
Red and Processed Meat Consumption and Risk for All-Cause Mortality and Cardiometabolic Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Cohort Studies.
Dietary guidelines generally recommend limiting intake of red and processed meat. However, the quality of evidence implicating red and processed meat in adverse health outcomes remains unclear. To evaluate the association between red and processed meat consumption and all-cause mortality, cardiometabolic outcomes, quality of life, and satisfaction with diet among adults. EMBASE (Elsevier), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), CINAHL (EBSCO), and ProQuest from inception until July 2018 and MEDLINE from inception until April 2019, without language restrictions, as well as bibliographies of relevant articles. Cohort studies with at least 1000 participants that reported an association between unprocessed red or processed meat intake and outcomes of interest. Teams of 2 reviewers independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias. One investigator assessed certainty of evidence, and the senior investigator confirmed the assessments. Of 61 articles reporting on 55 cohorts with more than 4 million participants, none addressed quality of life or satisfaction with diet. Low-certainty evidence was found that a reduction in unprocessed red meat intake of 3 servings per week is associated with a very small reduction in risk for cardiovascular mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and type 2 diabetes. Likewise, low-certainty evidence was found that a reduction in processed meat intake of 3 servings per week is associated with a very small decrease in risk for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, stroke, MI, and type 2 diabetes. Inadequate adjustment for known confounders, residual confounding due to observational design, and recall bias associated with dietary measurement. The magnitude of association between red and processed meat consumption and all-cause mortality and adverse cardiometabolic outcomes is very small, and the evidence is of low certainty. None.

Around the clock exposure to light has long been considered an innocuous consequence of industrialization and modernization. To the contrary, there is now accumulating epidemiological and experimental data suggesting that exposure to light at night can cause circadian disruption, which in turn increases an individual's susceptibiliy to a wide range of medical conditions from mood disorders to cancer. We propose that exposure to light at night, as often experienced in a hospital setting; also can hamper recovery following a cardiovascular incident. Much of the permanent damage that occurs to the central nervous system after cerebral ischemia is mediated by endogenous secondary processes, including inflammation and excitotoxicity. The overarching hypothesis of this proposal is that post-reperfusion light exposure at night compromises recovery from cerebral ischemia through modification of the early pathophysiological responses. In a mouse model of cardiac arrest (CA), exposure to dim light at night (dLAN) following cerebral ischemia increases neuronal damage and mortality compared to mice maintained in a standard light dark cycle (LD) after CA. Furthermore, proinflammatory cytokine gene expression is elevated 24 h following CA and a single night of dLAN, suggesting that inflammatory responses may underlie light-induced differences in ischemic outcome. These preliminary data suggest that environmental lighting has the potential to alter medical outcomes. A mouse model will be used to delineate the physiological mechanisms through which light at night increases neurological damage and mortality rate after cardiac arrest, and to determine whether certain wavelengths of lights are particularly detrimental. Taken together, the goals of the proposed studies are (1) to characterize the effects of light at night on experimental global ischemia outcome, (2) to establish whether there is a relationship between the increase in neuroinflammation among mice exposed to dLAN after CA and the observed increase in neuronal damage, behavioral impairments, and cardiac autonomic dysregulation, and (3) to determine whether the detrimental effects of dLAN on ischemic outcome can be prevented by using a limited range of light wavelengths at night. If only certain wave lengths of light alter ischemic outcomes, then relative simple technologies could be implemented to improve the recovery of patients with cardiovascular disease. |
Modest Mouse is an indie rock band from Issaquah, Washington. It was formed by Isaac Brock, Jeremiah Green, and Eric Judy. They started making music in 1993.
History
They formed in the state of Washington, during the popularity of grunge music. They struggled to release an album, but eventually released their first album This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About in 1996 after being signed to Up Records. Their second album, The Lonesome Crowded West, came next, one year later.
They then re-signed to Epic Records in 2000 and released The Moon & Antarctica.
In 2003, Jeremiah Green left the band, but he was replaced with Benjamin Weikel and Dann Gallucci. Modest Mouse was fairly unaffected by this, and they released their fourth album, Good News for People Who Love Bad News one year later. It was very popular and had two main hits: "Float On" and "Ocean Breathes Salty."
In 2006, after a long tour supporting Good News, Modest Mouse came back to the studio to record their fifth studio album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. It was fairly quick to record, and it was released on March 20, 2007. It was even more popular than Good News. A hit single from this album was "Dashboard." After touring for over a year with R.E.M. and The National, Modest Mouse released a collection of songs not released on Good News or We Were Dead known as No One's First and You're Next. It was released in 2009.

Streep’s famous transparency allows audiences to witness everything, just as it does with the camera. “There are quick changes of mood—extraordinary, like quicksilver—and you can see them on her skin,” Lacombe says. “When someone has a strong emotion or is about to cry, when the skin becomes blotchy and red and the eyes swell up—I’ve seen that happening with Meryl in such a subtle way. There is the ability to be in emotional places, and I think that’s why she is the actress she is.”
Although Streep’s acting is inextricably connected with the way she looks, she has always struck Lacombe as being virtually unique among performers. “I think there is a big absence of vanity in Meryl,” Lacombe says. “In A Cry in the Dark, she portrayed a character who was quite unsympathetic, but you never got the sense that she was trying to put you on her side, as some actors do. That’s another great, endearing quality of hers—I’m sure women sense that Meryl does not have any vanity. She never acted as a woman who was entitled. You know how some beautiful women just act beautiful? There is never any of that with Meryl—never.
“With others, they are hypnotized by their own image, especially fashion people; they get completely enraptured. How many shots can you see of the same actress looking beautiful in every magazine? It’s like falling into a false sense of beauty and being worshipped for all the wrong reasons. They all do it. A lot of it is huge insecurity. Many actresses won’t wear their hair in a certain way, because it’s not the most flattering, or they won’t be photographed from a certain angle. But once someone like Meryl chooses a part, she does what is good for the character. She doesn’t bring her own insecurities and fears.”
As she ages, Streep’s work derives additional power from her refusal to alter her face with cosmetic surgery or Botox. “If you start to do something like that, it’s very hard to stop,” Lacombe says. “If you understand that what makes your work good is not the way you look, as you grow older you take different parts. It’s like women in real life who want to hang on to a certain part of their life, and to look younger. They miss every other stage of their life. To try to stop the time, to look young—it’s such a futile, absurd way to look at life in general, and it’s very detrimental to their work. They may think that it prolongs their work, and maybe they might get one or two parts more, but their face is their tool, and also what they understand about life, what they go through in life. If you alter it, you deprive yourself of some of what you need to do your work well.”
Streep’s disdain for such desperate measures is based on her assessment of the toll they take. “When I see it in people I meet, it’s like an interruption in communication with them,” she says. “It’s like a flag in front of the view, and that, for an actor, is like wearing a veil—it’s not a good thing.”
This attitude has long made Streep the perfect photographic subject for Lacombe. “I’m so anti all the artifice,” Lacombe says. “What I do is very simple; I’m not interested in transforming people.”
She gestures to the enormous coffee-table book of her work, Lacombe, which was published in 2008 and contains several riveting pictures of Streep. “To me, that’s Meryl, not an actress,” Lacombe says. “But it’s very rare. Even actresses in their 20s and 30s cannot look at themselves that way. They all long to be looking like a model—and then they wonder, Why am I not Meryl Streep? To me, physical beauty is not enough; it’s not interesting. Beauty is everything. You want to have someone who will also be funny, who will also be moving, who will also be intelligent—someone who will have some contribution to bring, not just a look. Meryl is interesting; she is very funny and very smart. |
The Baburnama (Chagatai/Persian: bbr nmh;', literally: "History of Babur" or "Letters of Babur"; alternatively known as Tuzk-e Babri) is the memoirs of Zahir-ud-Din Muhammad Babur (1483-1530), founder of the Mughal Empire and a great-great-great-grandson of Timur. It is written in the Chagatai language, known to Babur as "Turki" (meaning Turkic), the spoken language of the Andijan-Timurids. During Emperor Akbar's reign, the work was completely translated to Persian, the usual literary language of the Mughal court, by a Mughal courtier, Abdul Rahim, in AH 998 (1589-90).[1] Translations into many other languages followed, mostly from the 19th century onwards.

Comparative infectivity for axenic and specific-pathogen-free chickens of O2 Escherichia coli strains with or without virulence factors.
Adhesion to epithelial respiratory cells, iron acquisition, and production of K1 polysaccharide capsules have been proposed as potential virulence factors of avian Escherichia coli. These factors were studied by inoculating groups of axenic or specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens intratracheally with O2 E. coli strains after previous challenge with a wild strain of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). In all experiments, the association between IBV and an E. coli strain endowed with the three virulence factors previously mentioned resulted in the most severe pathological effects, as measured by mortality, weight gains, lesions, and reisolation of E. coli from internal organs. An E. coli strain devoid of virulence factors was able only to induce mild pathological effects restricted to the respiratory tract when combined with IBV. Both E. coli strains were more invasive in axenic chickens than in SPF chickens. These results confirm the probable involvement of the three factors studied in the pathogenic properties of avian E. coli. This model can be used to assess the role of virulence factors, by comparing pairs of positive and negative isogenic strains. |
A snail is a common name for a kind of mollusc. The term is used for a gastropod with a coiled shell. Their fossil records extends back into the Carboniferous period.
Land snails and slugs breathe with a kind of lung. They used to be put together in a group, the Pulmonata. This was a well-known order in traditional taxonomy. However, the Pulmonata is polyphyletic. This means the same life-style evolved in a number of different lines. This is called convergent evolution. Therefore, the Pulmonata is no longer an official term in biological classification.
The term "snail" is also sometimes used for aquatic snail-like gastropods, which usually have gills. Actually, most snail species are marine snails. There are more species of them, and they are far greater in numbers. Many kinds of snails can also be found in fresh water habitats.
Most land snails and slugs are herbivorous. Aquatic snails and slugs are usually omnivores or predatory carnivores.
In many countries around the world, people eat snails as a delicacy. In France, snails are called escargots, which is also the name of the dish. In French cuisine, the snails are cooked in salt water and then served with a garlic sauce.
The biggest snail is the giant African snail. Their foot is up to 35 cm long.
The fastest snail is the Helix aspersa. It can reach speeds up to 0.047 kmh.
There are known more than 43000 species of snails all over the world.
Body parts
Shell
Snails are invertebrates, which are animals with no backbones. The shell on the snail helps protect it, and also reduces the loss of water by evaporation. Shells have many different shapes, sizes, and colors. Snails do not breathe through their mouths, instead they have a breathing hole under their shells.
Foot
A snails "foot" is a muscle which allows it to move slowly across the ground. The foot puts out ('exudes') slime, which eases the snail's movement, leaving a trail. Snails can absorb mineral nutrients through their foot by simply sitting on a rock.
Head
The head is attached to the foot. On the head there are 15 mm stalks. At the end of the stalks are snail's eyes.
Habitat
Snails are found all over the world. Generally speaking, land snails live in damp habitats. They live in caves and dark places. Snails can be found in dark places such as in a garden under plant's foliage leaves. Some species live in cold places like the Arctic and a few are found in warm places like beaches and deserts.
Food
Land snails eat vegetables and fruits, such as lettuce, carrots, cucumber and apples. Aquatic snails are often carnivorous. Snails use their radula to cut food. The radula is a hard, rough plate in the mouth. Radula teeth are like little pieces of sandpaper. They are good for cutting up plants and if the snail eats meat they are good for tearing the meat apart.
Many animals eat snails. Fireflies, snakes, beetles, fish, insects, turtles and people eat snails too. To defend themselves, snails pull back into their shells.

Tamsulosine: new preparation. Capsules: alphablocker.
Tamsulosine, an alphablocker, is moderately effective on the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Its adverse effects are of the same order as those of other alphablockers already on the market in France (alfuzosine and prazosine); there is notably a risk of postural hypotension. There is no proof that the risk-benefit ratio of tamsulosine is any better than that of other alphablockers or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (finasteride). |

Lawmakers demand details of agreement to resettle refugees held in offshore detention centres, asking why Australia ‘refuses to admit these individuals’

Two senior Republicans have written to the Obama administration demanding it release details of the US-Australia refugee deal and accusing it of withholding information from Congress.
Australia's deal to resettle refugees in the US: what we know so far Read more
The two men also raised “concern” about their country accepting refugees from countries designated as “state sponsors of terrorism”.
Veteran Iowa senator Chuck Grassley and Virginia congressman Bob Goodlatte, chair of their respective houses’ judiciary committees, addressed Tuesday’s letter to secretary of state John Kerry and secretary of homeland security Jeh Johnson.
Earlier this month Kerry and the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, revealed the US had agreed to consider resettling an unspecified number of refugees from Australia’s Pacific island immigration processing camps.
Grassley and Goodlatte indicated they had been offered a classified briefing on the deal, but instead called for the agreement to be made available to all members of both houses: “We … firmly believe the American people should be fully aware of the specific details of this agreement and why it was done in secret.”
The letter claims Congress learned of the deal through the media, and criticised the administration for not informing legislators during an official refugee consultation in September.
Nauru and Manus Island refugees and asylum seekers sceptical of US deal Read more
Grassley and Goodlatte, both members of the Republican party, said the deal and the manner in which it had been conducted was “concerning” for a number of reasons, including the classified nature of details such as how many refugees the US would accept.
“Your departments negotiated an international agreement regarding refugees without consulting or notifying Congress,” they wrote.
“Such information was not disclosed to Congress during the annual refugee consultation that occurred on September 13, 2016, even though your staff confirmed that the agreement had, at the time, been negotiated ‘for months’.”
They also noted the countries of origin of the likely refugees, which they said were countries of “national security concern”, singling out Iran and Sudan as designated state sponsors of terrorism.
“It begs the question why Australia and other countries refuse to admit these individuals, what other countries are doing to help alleviate the situation, what kind of precedent this sets for future refugees interdicted at sea by Australian forces and prevented from entering Australia, and how a similar situation will be prevented in the future.”
The Australian government has repeatedly pledged to prohibit any asylum seeker who arrives by boat from ever settling in the country, even if they are refugees. It says this is to discourage people from risking ocean journeys with people smugglers.
The Nauru files: cache of 2,000 leaked reports reveal scale of abuse of children in Australian offshore detention Read more
It has instead sent people to offshore centres on Nauru and in Papua New Guinea for processing by those two nations. Both centres have been plagued with accusations of poor conditions, human rights abuses, and that the lengthy indefinite detention causing harm to detainees.
The Guardian’s publication of the Nauru files revealed widespread trauma and numerous instances of abuse inflicted on children on the island.
Turnbull said that under the deal the number of people – all of whom will have had their claims for refugee status accepted – would be determined by the US and the process would be administered with the assistance of the UNHCR.
He denied it was a “people swap” for refugees Australia had agreed to take from the US refugee program in Costa Rica.
However, because the agreement was made with the Obama administration in the final months before the US election, there are concerns it will never go ahead. US immigration experts have warned Republican president-elect Donald Trump, who campaigned on a platform which included a ban on Muslim immigration, is likely to tear up the deal. |
Freshwater biology is the study of plants and animals that live in fresh water. This includes rivers, lakes, ponds, marshes and other bodies of water. It is part of the branch of science called Limnology.
Much freshwater biology takes place in man-made places such as sewage treatment works and water treatment works. In these places water is purified using plants and animals. Keeping them working as hard as possible helps to make the water as cleaner.
In recent times freshwater biologists have been looking at how plants and animals change in the autumn and spring. This is helping us to understand more about the effects of climate change.

The news of Xbox Live coming to Windows 10 was a bit confusing last week, but, slowly, details of how it'll work are surfacing. Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb recently responded to PCWorld's Hayden Dingman on Twitter saying that Xbox Live Gold won't be required for online multiplayer using Live on WIn10 and mobile (like it is on consoles). Great news, right? Well, like The Verge notes, it should be for anyone who remembers the disastrous Games for Windows Live program that Microsoft tried implementing around 10 years ago. We reached out to the company for additional information and were told that there wasn't anything more to share at this time, but that'd change over the coming months. |
