A member of Rotaract, and Rotary too
Alexandria Ritchie (seated under banner), with the Rotaract Club of John Tyler Community College.
By Alexandria Ritchie, a member of the Rotaract Club of Virginia Commonwealth University and the Rotary Club of James River, Richmond, Virginia, USA
Recently, two Rotary friends shared with me the decision taken by the Council on Legislation to allow Rotaractors to also join Rotary. (The Council is where Rotary members gather every three years to discuss changes to the policies governing our organization.)
So I thought I'd give it a try. I am 21, and now also a member of the Rotary Club of James River. Let me tell you a little bit about my experience in Rotary and its young leaders programs from the perspective of a brand new young Rotarian.
My path to Rotary
I joined Rotaract after being a member of my high school's Interact club. I founded a Rotaract chapter on my campus at John Tyler Community College and have been a loyal member of Rotaract ever since. It's changed my life. I now represent my entire district as a district Rotaract representative.
How did I make the decision to join a Rotary club? The answer is simple. My sponsor clubs are amazing. We are a family and my Rotary journey wouldn't be as fulfilling without them.
When I attended the Rotaract Preconvention in Seoul, Korea, this past May, I realized that we needed a Rotaract representative on the RI Board. Rotaract needs a voice — a direct connection to the Rotarians that do so much good for the organization and for the world. This idea might be a lot to ask. [Currently, the RI Bylaws provide for a standing committee, the Rotaract and Interact Committee, which includes at least three Rotaractors.] However, I would encourage clubs to give Rotaract a voice, at the club level, in your districts. This can set the ball in motion to greater representation in the organization overall.
Beyond sponsorship
If your club has a Rotaract club, do more than just sponsor them. Invite them to meetings and projects. Really get to know them. Attend their meetings. Allow the president of the Rotaract Club to serve as a non-voting member on your club's board. I have encouraged Rotary members to try this in my district and it has worked well.
More importantly, invite them to things at the district level. Let them know they have a part to play in Rotary. Let them feel the power of our organization. Introduce them to the district governor, encourage them to attend conferences, seminars, and events with you.
If we do this together, Rotaract will grow. More Rotaractors will join Rotary which is truly the most important goal a sponsor club could have.

Easier said then done.Rotary is too ecpensive . Rotarians as parents the least one expects is for them to realize this role thus initself would bridge many gaps. If alone one can make a case difference how much more if others joined in .
As a mother to both Rotaracts and Interacts for over two decades since their birth I feel great happiness and pride in their progress .Guiding them being available for them at all times,involving them in many activities and services to enrich them in experience , to benefit the society is my passion. On joining Rotary in 1989 it was for the Rotary club that the mother instinct was high thus for a decade all focus was for the club , nurturing it to crawl ,walk and then run .Then after 1996 as PP and DS the focus was to strengthen other clubs ,for Rotary is strong only if all clubs are as strong. In 1998 also as DRCC for 4 terms focus was towards the youth and it has stayed on.
Time spent 365 days x 20 plus Rotaract years= satisfaction and happiness .
Total years in Rotary = 27 / RID 3292

A very special Rotaract leader who has made a huge difference to our wonderful James River Richmond Club. Alex's smile brings a ray of sunshine into the room and her presence in District 7600 will make a huge difference to what we can accomplish together going forward.
Thank you RI General Secretary John Hewko for your recognition.
What greater encouragement can there be for clubs to get out there and build their own leadership skills, and association with our youth, through the development of a new Rotaract Club or the resurrection of a dead one.
From a long term perspective, a more worthy Club Service project is hard to imagine,

I am District Governor of RI District 3291. I am extremely close to the Rotaract movement in my district and in particular, my DRR. She is amazing and a huge support. We have a tremendous mutual understanding and that is helping us grow the Rotaract movement in our district. At present the relationship between Rotary and Rotaract in our district is probably at its best and every day I learn something from the young people which is worthy of replicating!

When you start your own business, you need to concentrate on getting the basics right and building up a solid local reputation. However, as success follows and plans are then laid for growth, at some point you are likely to want to expand your business around the country. By 'going national' you not only increase the pool of potential clients and customers, you can also benefit your company in many other ways too.
By having a national presence your brand will naturally become better known. This not only means more sales for your services and products, it also means suppliers will be eager to get your business in order to share in your success.
As with any changes to your business plan there will always be risks associated with expanding nationally. The biggest is making the move at the wrong time and taking on more than you can handle. Many smaller successful companies have failed because they tried to accommodate bigger demands on them before they were ready to handle the increase in productivity that was needed.
Of course, there is no 'one size fits all' answer to how you can make your business work on a national level. For some this will mean acquiring new premises around the country, whether that is retail units or office space. For others, financing the expansion might be the issue and new investors or sources of capital will need to be put in place.
If your company is involved in a niche or specialist area of operations, you might need to look at building new premises to your own specifications. MBi Social Care is a property consulting service that was created to help manage all aspects of a project from design stage to completion. Having worked with property developers, the private market high net-worth buy-to-let sector and more recently the UK care sector the company has a wealth of experience across many different scenarios. Having a third party look after the overall strategy, development and operation of the property aspects of a national expansion is an important factor in ensuring a successful process.
Of course with the changes in consumer behaviour brought about by the ever growing digital marketplace, becoming a nationally recognised brand might not even mean going further than your current physical location. Even so, increased demand will eventually mean employing more staff and other logistic considerations so it's best to consider all options when you are at the planning stages of your expansion.
No matter what type of business you are in, there has never been a better time to think about expanding nationally. Historically low interest rates mean investment can be sourced and the fact that mobile communications tech really has made the country a smaller place all come together to create opportunities for those willing to take them.

Eolas Technologies recently lost an appeal against a number of companies including Google, Yahoo and Amazon.com, in a lawsuit involving several "key Web patents" which carried on for years.
The suit, dating all the way back to 2009, began when Eolas founder Michael Doyle accused over 20 companies of using his company's patents covering basic aspects of the Internet without licensing.
Doyle claimed to have invented "interactivity on the Web," largely in part due to a program he created in 1993 while director of the computer lab at UC San Francisco. The initial court papers claimed that several applications including basic web pages, music clips and search features used Doyle's inventions.
The court found Eolas' patents invalid, and even after an appeal, the decision remains solid. Earlier this week, an appeals panel affirmed the original verdict shutting down a number of the company's key patents.
The case has attracted considerable attention over the past few years, including that of Tim Berners-Lee- the man credited with inventing the World Wide Web- who was one of the first to testify against Eolas in the original court hearing.
The decision comes at a good time, offering some level of comfort in the chaos of patent troll litigation, but there's still a lot of work to be done when it comes to eradicating the complete issue with NPEs.


We have a linux 3.16 with squid 3.4.8 listening on port 3128 ( not transparent proxy ).
And about 1200 windows clients, spread on 50 different sites. They use the proxy to navigate on internet.
I cannot find the value of backlog used by squid3 on its listening socket. Is there a setting or does squid use the linux default ?
squid3 / debian / demon script : why the mainteners set ulimit -n 65535 ?
How can I check if the clients go direct because of the linux server too slow / undersized to accept the incoming connections ? Are there specific logging settings for linux and squid3 ?
or does squid3 set its specific value ?
How many fd can squid3 handle ?
Sending HTTP request ... done.
So, what is the rationale to limit squid3 fd to 65535 ?
Please only ask one question at a time.
which elements do make the browser decide to use the proxy or go direct ? timeout values for IE / Firefox / Chrome ?
Your PAC tells the browser it may use a proxy or go direct. The browser gets to choose, but should prefer using the proxy. How it does the choosing is browser specific.
RTFM ... I cannot find the value of backlog used by squid3 on its listening socket. Is there a setting or does squid use the linux default ?
The OS underlying TCP settings may have an effect on what actually gets delivered to Squid. The squid.conf max_filedescriptors setting determines an upper limit on the number of FD (both sockets and files) Squid can handle concurrently, each incoming client TCP connection requires between 2 and 6 FDs to produce a response.
which elements do make the browser decide to use the proxy or go direct ?
If that is your PAC, Then successful download, and parsing of a that pac file. Once a browser gets a PAC, it doesn't try to not use it after a timeout.
How can I check if the clients go direct because of the linux server too slow ... to accept the incoming connections ? Are there specific logging settings for linux and squid3 ?
Well if a client decides not to use the proxy, nothing is going to be logged in squid, since the client isn't using the proxy. Nothing is going to be logged on the Linux box at all really, unless you have setup firewall rules.
Anyway, if you really want to force the proxy, just block outgoing port tcp 443/80 on your border devices unless the requests come from the proxy.

Helix Sleep mattresses that have targeted cushioning conform closely, making them perfect for side sleepers. While hybrids that have moderate cushioning don't conform as much and are ideal for all sleep positions. Lighter people may feel most comfy on models with balanced support, while people that weigh 130 lbs or more often favor the variants with additional support.
Helix Sleep also markets two variants with dual-firmness, the Helix Dual Balanced (with targeted cushioning and balanced support) and the Helix Dual Extra (with moderate cushioning and extra support). Both of these models have one 'Soft' side and one 'Firm' side, which makes them ideal for couples with differing tastes. Last, the Helix Nightfall is a hybrid designed for larger, heavier people. This variant has an extra layer of memory foam for optimum support.
All 9 of the various iterations of the mattress will differ slightly in construction, but for 6 of the 9 models, the construction should be rather similar. The 6 core variants (listed above) are 10 inches tall, made up of 6 inches of individually wrapped coils and 4 inches of foam.
Cover – Initially, all Helix mattresses have the same cover, made of 100 percent polyester. I thought it to be pliable and thin, allowing for some great breathability. However, if you would like something more luxurious, you can opt to swap out the standard cover for the UltraCool one, which is composed of a phase-change material to regulate temperature.
Comfort Layer – Up top, you'll encounter a thick layer of memory foam. This material has a slow reaction to pressure, which means you are likely to experience some great body contouring. Even though it may seem odd for a purportedly medium firmness bed to incorporate a memory foam layer, it's important to remember that the feeling of deep sinkage doesn't necessarily translate to softness; in actuality, most of the time it gives quite a firm feeling.
Transition Layer – After getting past the comfort layer, you'll discover a transition layer of poly foam. This layer of foam works to suppress the sinkage of the comfort layer and set a supportive, medium firm feel as you reach the pocketed coils underneath.
Support Layer – The majority of the mattress is made up of this section of individually wrapped coils. This system brings a supportive lift into the construction, working to position the sleeper "on top" of the mattress, as opposed to "in it". Because the coils are individually wrapped, they're also going to give extra breathability as air flows in between the spaces in the coils.
Base Layer – Last but not least, you'll uncover a thin section of high-density poly foam. This segment does not really affect the feel of the mattress too much, functioning mostly to provide the individually wrapped coils something off of which to react.
The firmness of the Helix will vary widely depending on the model you choose. The Helix Midnight and Dusk, have moderate firmness levels, which tends to be quite versatile and therefore best-selling. If you have more specific needs, however, Helix Sleep is happy to provide you with additional choices.
Lying down on the Helix Midnight, the memory foam layer is soft and generates some quality body contouring, while the other materials in the Midnight work to control this and make an overall firmer structure. The firmer support foams and pocketed coils also assist with re-positioning.
For those who sleep on their back, there's just enough good comfort material in the mattress to conform to your lower spine while supporting your whole upper spine in a neutral position. For larger buyers or people who prefer a firmer bed, there are 2 more choices for you in the Helix Twilight and Helix Dawn models.
Majority of side sleepers will feel perfectly comfortable on the Midnight, but, if you're wanting less pressure while still going with a flexible medium firmness, you might decide to check out the Helix Dusk, which utilizes a body-conforming latex-alternative foam that is breathable and provides the surface a small bit of bounce.
Side sleepers typically have to be mindful of pressure since they sleep with most their weight on a tinier area. Those who are lighter than average or people looking for lots of pressure relief may want to stay with the plusher variants.
Stomach sleepers will feel comfortable in the Midnight, especially if this isn't their main position or they have a tendency to change things up a lot. Firmer mattresses may be preferable for exclusive tummy sleepers so they can ensure their hips do not dip and over-arch their back.
Finally, Helix Sleep suggests Helix mattresses for sleepers up to 350 lbs or partners who weigh a maximum of 250 lbs each. In the event you or your spouse are significantly larger than average, Helix has also produced a mattress called the Nightfall that is built to accommodate a combined weight of 1000 pounds.
Keep in mind that if neither of those models feel right, you can always have a look at the 4 other variants in the new collection: the Sunset (plush, softer than the Moonlight), Dusk (medium feel, slightly firmer than the Midnight), Twilight (firm, designed for side sleepers), or Dawn (the firmest variant in the line).
Based on my observation, Helix exceeds expectations for hybrids in this space because of the quantity and quality of foam it incorporates, in addition to the pocketed coils which help trap motion at its source. If you're a light sleeper afraid that movement from the other side of the mattress will wake you, then you should not have much concern with this mattress. I would say that all of the Helix mattresses would be a good choice for couples.
When purchasing a brand-new mattress, the majority of individuals wish to know whether they will feel like they're sinking "into" the it or lying "on top" of it.
While you're likely to encounter some immediate sinkage from the uppermost foam layers, by the time you sink through these layers, you will hit the pocketed coils and find great support. This combination will interest a vast range of sleepers, but will satisfy stomach and back sleepers in particular.
While I do feel the memory foam collapse as I sit near the edge of the Helix Midnight, the pocketed coils prevent the mattress from compressing a lot . I feel very secure seated on the bed.
In my opinion, Helix mattresses perform above average for edge support in comparison to other bed-in-a-box brands, and this is because of their newly updated edges that contain reinforcement in the coil system. There may be some compression in the comfort foams when you sit with all your weight on the side, but laying on the side will feel comfy and safe. Couples who need more space to stretch out normally love stronger edges.
Laying down, I also feel like I can get near the edge of the mattress without feeling like I'll fall off or be pushed off the bed. Overall, I think that the Helix mattress has nice edge support.
Among the best features of purchasing a bed-in-a-box online is the sleep trials that they usually include. Helix is not any different. You customize the mattress that is made for you, place your order, and within a couple of weeks, it is sent to your home. From the moment you click to purchase the mattress, you have 100 nights to try it out (minus the time for delivery, so it's more like 90 nights). If it isn't what you wanted, you can return it free, and get a full refund.
The Helix Mattress includes an amazing 10-year warranty that covers flaws, but it has some limitations, exceptions, while the burden of proof is on the customer (like most warranties). Needless to say, you must be the first owner of the Helix to make use of the warranty, and you need to be sure you save your receipt as proof of purchase.
Provided that you follow all of the manufacturer's expectations for use, your warranty will be valid. That means you need to have a proper base (no adjustable bed frames or slats over 4″ apart) and that you don't use the Helix improperly – no jumping on the bed!
If your mattress starts to have an indentation of 1″ or more, which is what usually happens when low-density foams break down, then you could be eligible for a replacement or repair of your Helix.
If you are certain that a Helix mattress is excellent for you, you can find the pricing and size info below. However, please be aware that these prices indicate standard pricing, and does not consider my special discount. Click here to get my special promo and receive up to $125 off your mattress now.
For routine cleanup, it's suggested to use cold water with gentle dish detergent to clean any stains or dirt. Be certain to clean using gentle circular movements, rather than rubbing.
The features of this mattress were thoughtfully constructed to provide options whether you were looking for a mattress that keeps cool all night, in the event that you wanted one to cradle your curves with a thick comfort system, or both! The reinforced coil unit should provide great edge support and movement transfer is minimal with their individually-wrapped structure.
Hopefully, I have given you some idea of what the average sleeper can expect from the Helix, but it truly does offer an impressive range of customization with a choice for literally every specific desire or need. Your next best sleep could just be a short online quiz away.


A sum of $245.8 million has been allocated to the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), in the 2008/09 Estimates of Expenditure.
This money is to be used to undertake activities under that body's agricultural extension service for Domestic Food Crop and Tree Crop Programmes, and for grants for Crop Production and Extension, Forestry, and Rural Development.
The agricultural extension service is facilitated by the activities of RADA's extension officers and allows for the granting of subsidies to small farmers in the form of seeds, seedlings, pesticides, tools, equipment, farmhouses, and water tanks. Training is also undertaken. These provisions and subsidies will assist in increasing productivity and improving the standard of living of farmers. Grants given to RADA are supplemented by the income generated from some of these projects.
The Domestic Food Programme, which has been allocated just over $8 million, aims to increase the production and productivity of selected crops for both local and export markets. The focus is on geographic areas that have minimum constraints and distinct competitive advantage for the production of these crops.
A sum of just over $21 million has been set aside as a grant for crop production and extension, which is aimed at establishing a crop care programme. This includes, inter alia, the training of farmers in areas such as crop and livestock production; pest and disease control, and farm irrigation. Farmers will benefit from the distribution of farm inputs, setting up of linkages between producers and buyers and the introduction of the Agricultural Business Information System (ABIS), which will enable the dissemination of agricultural information in a structured way.
The Rural Development Project, which will receive a grant in the form of a $200 million allocation, will facilitate the maintenance of field and parish offices. Meanwhile, the forestry project, which also receives a grant in the form of a $3 million allocation, is geared towards soil conservation in areas of hillside farming to minimize soil loss and environmental degradation.
A $13.6 million allocation has been made to the Tree Crop Programme, the main objectives of which are to increase the availability and diversity of economically viable and nutritionally important fruit tree species, and to encourage the development of the food processing industry through the provision of raw materials.
During 2008/09, the Tree Crop Programme will focus specifically on: conducting training sessions in orchard management and tree crop resuscitation to benefit 800 farmers; resuscitating 1,000 fruit trees; maintaining 225 hectares of established orchards; establishing 12 demonstration plots of 0.4 hectare each, and publishing six technical bulletins in the form of pamphlets/booklets.

Carriera universitaria

Oregon Ducks
Dopo aver giocato a football per la St. Louis High School, ai tempi della quale fu classificato da Rivals.com come 6º miglior prospetto dello stato delle Hawaii e come 12º miglior quarterback della nazione, Mariota decise di giocare per l'Università dell'Oregon nonostante le varie proposte ricevute dall'Università delle Hawaii a Mānoa, dall'Università di Memphis, dalla University of Utah, dalla Oregon State University, dall'Università di Washington, dall'Università dell'Arizona, dall'Università di Notre Dame, da UCLA e da USC.

Stagione 2012

Redshirt nel 2011 (poteva allenarsi ma non disputare incontri ufficiali), Mariota fu promosso quarterback titolare già nel 2012 quando Darron Thomas decise di rendersi eleggibile per il Draft NFL 2012, guidando i Ducks alla vittoria nel Fiesta Bowl al termine del quale venne anche eletto MVP grazie ad una prestazione da 12 completi su 24 per 166 yard e 2 touchdown su passaggio e da 62 yard e 1 touchdown su corsa. Mariota terminò la stagione con 230 completi su 336 passaggi per 2677 yard e 32 touchdown e una percentuale di passaggi completati del 68,45, di poco inferiore al 68,5 % fatto registrare da Sam Bradford nel 2007 che rappresenta il record NCAA relativo ad un freshman.

Stagione 2013
Nel 2013 Mariota aprì la stagione guidando subito i Ducks ad una netta vittoria per 66-3 sui Nicholls State Colonels con 12 passaggi completati su 21 per 234 yard ed un touchdown e con 113 yard corse e 2 touchdown. La settimana seguente corse 122 yard ed un touchdown (da 71 yard) per una media di 30,5 yard a portata. Inoltre lanciò 14 passaggi completati su 28 per 199 yard e 2 touchdown che consentirono ai Ducks di battere 59-10 i Virginia Cavaliers.

Nella settimana 3 per i Ducks arrivò contro i Tennessee Volunteers la terza vittoria consecutiva in stagione grazie ad una prestazione da 23 passaggi completati su 33 per 456 yard e 4 touchdown di Mariota, che divenne il primo quarterback dei Ducks a lanciare almeno 400 yard in una singola partita dal 2005. Altre due vittorie arrivarono nelle due settimane successive contro i California Golden Bears ed i Colorado Buffaloes in cui passò rispettivamente per 114 yard e 2 touchdown e per 355 yard e 5 touchdown, facendo registrare contro Colorado anche il nuovo passaggio da touchdown più lungo in carriera (75 yard).

Nella settimana 6, Mariota terminò con 24 passaggi completati su 31 per 366 yard e 3 touchdown, correndo per 88 yard ed un touchdown e guidando Oregon alla sesta vittoria in stagione contro i Washington Huskies per 45-24. Fu questa la sesta partita consecutiva senza neanche un intercetto lanciato, diventando uno dei favoriti per la vittoria del prestigioso Heisman Trophy.

Mariota subì una parziale rottura del legamento mediale collaterale contro UCLA il 26 ottobre ma continuò a giocare per tutto il resto della stagione. Dopo un inizio con un record di 8-0 per i Ducks, il quarterback apparve nella copertina del 4 novembre 2013 di Sports Illustrated venendo proclamato il favorito numero uno per l'Heisman, prima che  Oregon (numero 2 del tabellone) perdesse contro Stanford (numero 6) il 7 novembre. Malgrado la squadra avesse terminato con un record di 11-2 e nei primi dieci del tabellone, la stagione fu considerata in un certo modo una delusione dal momento che i Ducks non raggiunsero un Bowl BCS per la prima volta dal 2008. Ad ogni modo, Oregon conquistò l'Alamo Bowl 2013 battendo Texas 30-7, in cui Marcus fu premiato come miglior giocatore offensivo della gara, in cui corse 133 yard su 15 tentativi e terminò con 386 yard totali. La sua annata terminò con 4.380 yard guadagnate complessivamente in attacco, diventando il primo giocatore di Oregon a superare le 4.000 yard in una stagione.

Stagione 2014

Considerato da diversi analisti a inizio stagione il favorito per la vittoria dell'Heisman Trophy, nel 2014 Mariota tra touchdown passati e segnati su corsa, disputò dieci diverse gare con almeno quattro TD (contro le tre dell'anno precedente) e per quattro volte ne segnò almeno cinque. Inoltre passò almeno due touchdown in ogni partita, almeno tre in sette partite e almeno quattro in tre gare. Fu premiato per tre volte come giocatore offensivo della settimana della Pac-12 e a dicembre come giocatore offensivo dell'anno della conference. Le sue prestazioni furono così convincenti che alcuni tifosi dei Tennessee Titans iniziarono una campagna chiamata 'Suck For The Duck' chiedendo alla squadra di perdere le restanti partite per potere scegliere Marcus nel Draft. Oregon chiuse al secondo posto nel ranking NCAA, vincendo il titolo della Pac-12 (di cui fu premiato miglior giocatore della finale), ottenendo la possibilità di disputare il Rose Bowl e la qualificazione per i primi playoff della storia del college football.

L'8 dicembre, Mariota fu annunciato come uno dei tre finalisti dell'Heisman Trophy, assieme al running back di Wisconsin Melvin Gordon e al wide receiver di Alabama Amari Cooper, vincendo con il 90,9% dei voti disponibili, la terza percentuale più alta di tutti i tempi. Fu il primo giocatore della storia dei Ducks e il primo di nascita hawaiana ad aggiudicarsi questo riconoscimento. Fu premiato inoltre con il Walter Camp Award e il Maxwell Award, altri due premi destinati al miglior giocatore dell'anno, e con il Davey O'Brien Award, assegnato al miglior quarterback della nazione.

Il 1º gennaio 2015 nel Rose Bowl, Mariota e i Ducks affrontarono i Florida State Seminoles di Jameis Winston, campioni in carica e imbattuti da 29 partite. In quello che fu solamente il terzo scontro nei playoff tra vincitori dell'Heisman Trophy, Oregon si qualificò per la finale di campionato vincendo per 59-20, col quarterback che passò 338 yard, 2 touchdown, segnò un TD su corsa e subì il suo terzo intercetto stagionale. La corsa dei Ducks al primo titolo di campioni nazionali si interruppe a un passo dal successo in finale contro Ohio State in una gara in cui il gioco sulle corse dei Buckeyes tenne Mariota fuori dal campo di gioco per la maggior parte del tempo. La sua prova si concluse completando 24 passaggi su 37 per 333 yard, due touchdown e un intercetto, senza mai trovare un ritmo adeguato.

Carriera professionistica

Tennessee Titans

Stagione 2015
Durante il corso del 2013 Mariota fu inserito tra i migliori prospetti eleggibili nel Draft NFL 2014, venendo pronosticato per una chiamata al primo giro, tuttavia il 3 dicembre 2013 annunciò che sarebbe rimasto ancora un anno in forza agli Oregon Ducks rimandando così l'appuntamento con il Draft NFL. Il 14 gennaio 2015, Mariota annunciò la sua intenzione di rinunciare all'ultimo anno di college e rendersi eleggibile per il Draft NFL 2015. Il 30 aprile 2015 fu scelto dai Tennessee Titans come secondo assoluto.

Mariota debuttò come professionista il 13 settembre 2015 contro il giocatore scelto prima di lui nel draft, Jameis Winston, e i suoi Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Marcus passò 209 yard e 4 touchdown nella vittoria per 42-14, stabilendo diversi primati per una gara di debutto: fu il primo giocatore della storia a terminare con un passer rating perfetto di 158,3, il primo a passare 4 touchdown nel primo tempo e quei quattro TD pareggiarono il record dell'Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton. Per questa prova fu premiato come miglior giocatore offensivo della AFC della settimana e come rookie della settimana. Con due TD passati nel terzo turno contro i Colts, Mariota arrivò a quota otto, pareggiando il record NFL nelle prime tre gare in carriera stabilito da Mark Rypien nel . Quattro giorni dopo, fu premiato come rookie offensivo del mese.

Nel sesto turno contro i Miami Dolphins, Mariota subì un infortunio al legamento mediale collaterale che gli impedì di essere in campo nelle due gare successive. Tornò in campo nella settimana 9 contro i Saints, nella prima partita dopo il licenziamento dell'allenatore Ken Whisenhunt. Grazie a un passaggio da touchdown per Anthony Fasano nei tempi supplementari, portò i Titans ad interrompere una striscia di sei sconfitte consecutive, terminando con 28 passaggi completati su 39 tentativi, per 371 yard e 4 touchdown. Divenne così il primo quarterback rookie della storia della NFL ad avere disputato due gare con quattro passaggi da touchdown e nessun intercetto subito. Per la seconda volta fu premiato come giocatore offensivo della AFC della settimana e per la prima come quarterback della settimana.

Nella settimana 13 contro i Jaguars, Mariota segnò il touchdown del sorpasso con una corsa da 87 yard a metà del quarto periodo di gioco, guadagnando la prima vittoria in carriera in casa e interrompendo una striscia di 11 risultati negativi tra le mura amiche per Tennessee. La sua gara terminò con 368 yard passate, 3 TD e un intercetto. Sette giorni dopo, Mariota ricevette il primo passaggio in carriera, che trasformò in touchdown da 41 yard, l'unica nota positiva di una sconfitta per 30-8 contro i Jets. Nel primo tempo del quindicesimo turno contro i Patriots, Mariota subì una lesione al legamento mediale collaterale che lo costrinse a chiudere la sua stagione con due gare di anticipo. La sua annata da rookie si concluse così con 2.818 yard passate, 19 touchdown e 10 intercetti per un passer rating di 91,5 in 12 presenze.

Stagione 2016
Nella settimana 10 contro i Green Bay Packers, Mariota guidò i Titans alla vittoria per 47-25 passando 295 yard e 4 touchdown che gli valsero i premi di miglior giocatore offensivo della AFC della settimana e di quarterback della settimana. Alla fine del mese, Mariota fu premiato come miglior giocatore offensivo della AFC di novembre, in cui passò 1.124 yard e 11 touchdown a fronte di due soli intercetti, con Tennessee che ebbe un record di 2-2. La sua stagione si chiuse nel penultimo turno, mentre i Titans con 8 vittorie e 6 sconfitte erano ancora in corsa per un posto nei playoff, quando si ruppe il perone destro contro i Jacksonville Jaguars. Mariota terminò così la sua seconda annata con 3.426 yard passate, 26 touchdown e 9 intercetti subiti.

Stagione 2017
I Titans iniziarono la stagione con un record di 2-2 con Mariota che fu costretto a lasciare del gara del quarto turno contro i Texans per un infortunio al tendine del ginocchio che gli fece saltare anche la partita successiva. Tornò in campo nel Monday Night Football della settimana 6 vinto contro i Colts. Nel decimo turno passò al running back DeMarco Murray il touchdown della vittoria a 36 secondi dal termine consentendo ai Titans di battere i Cincinnati Bengals e salire a un record di 6-3. Nell'ultimo turno della stagione regolare, con in palio un posto nei playoff, Mariota e i Titans batterono i Jacksonville Jaguars vincitori della division per 15-10. riportando la squadra alla post-season per la prima volta dal . La sua annata si chiuse con 3.232 yard passate, 13 touchdown passati e altri 5 segnati su corsa. I suoi 5 drive vincenti furono il miglior risultato della NFL mentre i 15 intercetti subiti furono invece il terzo peggior risultato della lega.

Per la prima gara di playoff in carriera, Mariota e i Titans viaggiarono a Kansas City per affrontare i Chiefs vincitori della AFC West division. In svantaggio per 21-3 alla fine del primo tempo, Tennessee riuscì a rimontare e a vincere 22-21 nel secondo. In quella partita, Mariota divenne il secondo giocatore della storia della NFL a passare un touchdown a se stesso dopo che il pallone era stato ribattuto da un difensore sul suo lancio. Brad Johnson vi era riuscito nel  ma Mariota fu il primo quarterback a farlo nei playoff. La stagione di Tennessee si chiuse nel turno successivo contro i New England Patriots campioni in carica perdendo per 35-14, in una gara in cui Mariota passò 254 yard e 2 touchdown ma subì anche 7 sack.

Stagione 2018
Nel quarto turno della stagione 2018, Mariota guidò i Titans a rimontare uno svantaggio di 14 punti contro i Philadelphia Eagles campioni in carica fino alla vittoria nei supplementari. La sua prestazione si concluse con 30 passaggi completati su 43, con 2 touchdown passati e uno segnato su corsa, venendo premiato come giocatore offensivo della AFC della settimana.

Nella settimana 10 Mariota guidò i Titans alla prima vittoria sui Patriots dal 2002 con 228 yard passate, 2 touchdown e nessun intercetto subito. Nel penultimo turno si infortunò nella vittoria contro i Washington Redskins non potendo così essere in campo nell'ultima decisiva partita in cui i Titans si giocavano la qualificazione ai playoff. La squadra uscì così sconfitta dai Colts e il quarterback terminò la stagione con un minimo in carriera di 11 touchdown passati.

Stagione 2019

Near Field Communication Support Has Come a Long Way
Back in 2015, we reviewed the spectrum of devices, specifically smartphones, that had Near Field Communication (NFC) support. Specifically, when comparing 2015 Q4 with 2018 Q4, we saw a 19% increase in NFC support on smartphones globally.
NFC Growth over Three Years

With 54% NFC support in 2015 and 73% in 2018, we've seen a 19% increase in the last three years. Most of the growth was driven by Apple's adoption of NFC in their iPhones. For more on this, we delve into growth of NFC support by operating system.
NFC Support by Operating System
In 2015, Android was the most prevalent operating system for NFC support. Android has been consistent, keeping 61% share of NFC supported smartphones three years later. However, it's Apple's iOS operating system that has shown the biggest change and in 2018, the biggest share of NFC support on smartphones. With a 60% increase in support in three years, iOS has certainly overtaken the NFC support of smartphones, starting with the inclusion of it in the iPhone 6.
NFC Support by Continent
We've also seen a global trend of NFC support throughout the world over the last three years. In every continent, NFC support is on the majority of smartphones now, but that wasn't always the case three years ago. For example, North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa all had a majority (more than 50%) NFC support for smartphones in 2015, but South America did not, with 46% support.
Growth for NFC support over the last three years has been the largest in Oceania (37%), North America (27%), and Europe (25%). These continents also have a large share of iPhone usage. We take a closer look at the correlation between high iPhone usage and NFC support.
iPhone Prevalence and High NFC Support
In 2018, we have found that the continents with the highest amount of NFC support also have the largest amount of iPhone usage (Oceania and North America lead with over 80% NFC support).
Conversely, where iPhone usage is below 20%, NFC support is the lowest (South America and Africa have slightly more than 50% NFC support).

Rnnotator is an automated software pipeline that consists of three major components: preprocessing of reads, assembly, and post-processing of contigs. In the absence of a reference transcriptome, the software can produce a set of transcripts directly from RNA-Seq reads. It was applied to two yeast transcriptomes and the results were compared to the reference gene catalogs of these organisms.

A Few Moments with Chris Brooks from Like A Storm
Interviews, Rock, US
Like A Storm's Chris Brooks sits down with National Rock Review to completely dissect their new album Catacombs, which released on June 22.
Like A Storm have just released their third album Catacombs which shows a completely experimental and more exposed side of the band. In this interview, we mainly focus on the new album, completely dissecting the new album's emotions, lyrics, and music.
NRR: So, the new album Catacombs has so much unpredictability in there. Did you guys plan for this to be an unpredictable album and for each song to have its own life?
Chris: I think we knew where we wanted to go musically and lyrically for the songs. So, from that point, we weren't afraid to do something a bit heavy then from that point go to a more tranquil vibe and do something different. We knew we wanted to take risks for this album. I don't know, when we started taking risks it just started to add up.
NRR: The way you guys place the instruments in the song to where it could be melodic yet heavy is quite awesome. "The Devil Inside" is a prime example. Can you expand on that just a bit?
Chris: Definitely! When we go to make a song, we don't say "let's play it this way with one guitar" or "let's sing the song this way with one vocal." We really want to create this emotional landscape. From there, we will try a whole bunch of things, a few of us grew up really playing piano, so we really love doing programming and that kind of thing. We added the didgeridoo in that song which really gave that primal feeling. We just continue to build and build and build until it hits us the way that we've intended. That song, we are really proud of the way that the music connects with the lyrics. It is what it is, heavy but also melodic.
NRR: I thought Catacombs was the perfect title of the album because the songs that you sing about are very relatable to others and I think the album does a good job of letting everyone know that they are not the only ones in that catacomb or in that dark place. Is there any more of a story behind the album title?
Chris: Yes, absolutely man. You're right, we saw the catacombs on the off day. It was an incredible sight to witnesses, just all the skeletons piled up neatly under this beautiful city of Paris. The idea kind of hit us that this life is just an ignorant bliss, you know? It's one way on the surface, but underneath it's just a darker secret, and for us, that was really a metaphor for all the things that we have inside ourselves that we don't want to address or the things we are not proud of. It's the idea that if you try to move on and try to live your daily life you are always carrying them with you and they just build up. From our point of view, the album conceptually was about things that have gone on inside you and addressing them and making peace with them.
NRR: Now, when you guys were at the catacombs in Paris, was in an instantaneous thing or did you guys have to sit on the idea for a while with Catacombs?
Chris: There's the title idea and then the more metaphorical idea. We had been touring for two years and touring is always nice, but it is also a nice distraction. You're not forced to confront the things going on inside you because you're caught in this sort of incredible routine of playing rock shows every night. Once that stopped and once we decided to start really writing this record, of course, there's no other noises to drown out inside of you and there's nothing really else to hide behind or to help push it down. We knew we wanted to at least dive into that thing, to address the things, but when we started Catacombs, I think Ken came up with such a powerful idea or symbol to articulate that idea that we were writing about. It's not just something for us as a band as you say. All of us are able to distract ourselves from all of our daily lives. You get to these moments like where "The Devil Inside" was written in the dead of the night. There's nothing there to distract you from what's going on inside yourself. If you don't confront them or kind of make peace with them, then they just continue.
NRR: Overall, one of the most notable tracks on the album is the outro song titled "Pure Evil". You guys do it all here from key changes, riff changes, etc. Can you expand on "Pure Evil" just a bit?
Chris: Thank you, man! Yeah, we were talking earlier about the importance for us to create that emotional vibe. "Pure Evil" started with that. We had an idea to create this tranquil intro. It was just an intro in at that point and that night we were working on just making this soothing build up as best we could and then Matt had the idea to just kick into this really heavy riff. He got the idea to call the song "Pure Evil" I think. It reflects someone that can be pure and evil. That idea for us, someone who is preaching to everyone else and telling everyone else how to live, whose criticizing and condemning everyone else and then it turns out that they are the most evil person of all. So, that was kind of a theme that we wanted to put in the song, not just lyrically, but musically as well. That contrast between purity and evil, so it meant having those soft tones and then kind of contrasting that with the total chaos and the heaviness.
NRR: So, it seems like the theme is more of a resemblance of a false prophet?
Chris: Yes absolutely! It's in the religious world and also in the political world with all these false idols. This idea of worshipping people, who are exploiting you and just taking advantage of you, exists.
NRR: So, how does the writing process work? You being the frontman, do you write most of the lyrics?
Chris: Actually all of us write riffs, we write full songs, and all that stuff. We used to play in our own bands and we were the lyricists to those bands. So a lot of the songs are very collaborative, then there will be some songs that one person has written the majority of, for us it just has to reach that emotional connection. There isn't really just one way of how it must get there.
NRR: The reason I ask that is because it seems like on this album, you were able to expose yourself more to the fans and I really feel like they got to know more of what you guys go through and experience. Did that have to do with it just being the third album or maybe that the process for creating one has gotten easier?
Chris: That's a great question, man! I think it was a combination. For us, we wanted to expose and we wanted to dig deeper on this record. From that point of view, you really have to choose to be more honest. Conceptually, with the record, addressing those things, you're cheapening it if you choose not to be more honest and confront those things within yourself too. "I don't know what I'm going to find, but I'm going to start addressing these things and I'm going to separate myself from everything else and I'm going to delve into myself and see what I've had there lurking for the last couple of years," is what I said. So, I think we knew that we needed to be honest for the sake of the record. We have always had a good relationship with our fans from the beginning. They've given us the freedom to allow us to be true to ourselves and to find things in ourselves. I mean, from that point of view, we didn't know we were going to be so honest at that time, but I've got to tell you, when we were writing this album, you really don't focus on anyone else that is hearing it. I think that's crucial to us when we are writing it. That helps that process of creation. It's not till the album is coming out that you're like "now everyone is going to hear this" and from that point, it's too late to change your lyrics. That can be a good thing.

DRAWN OUT
The Vietnam War, as seen through the ethereal art of Vietnamese soldiers
Comrade Tran Van Cam, painted by Quang Tho in 1967.

In the slightly chaotic atmosphere of the recent Art Basel Hong Kong, the drawings and watercolors displayed at one installation, by local gallery 10 Chancery Lane, captured attention with their calm, sylvan, and even romantic feeling. A bizarre contrast awaited visitors who deigned to learn more about them—they were created by soldiers otherwise busy fighting a war.
The conflict in question was "the Vietnam War" to the US, which saw it as a fight against the "Viet Cong," the communist north's encroachment into the south. To the other side it was known as the "Resistance War Against America."
Western writers, artists, and film directors have produced an abundance of art related to the conflict, and the opposition to it, from Army-sanctioned art to the 1986 Oliver Stone flick Platoon. But there's also been plenty of art about the war created in Vietnam, including films, songs, sculptures, and paintings.
At the installation at Art Basel Hong Kong, the works on display were encased by white wooden frames and hung close together. Many were portraits of young men and women, often at rest with faint smiles on the faces, sometimes holding rifles.
Painted by "D. Anh" in 1967. Subject unknown.
The installation was part of a bigger project called "Light and Belief" by Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Lê. "I have been collecting these paintings for a few years now," he says. "I find them really different from the kind of pictorial representation of war you see from Western artists."
Artist Dinh Q. Lê.
Image: 10 Chancery Lane
Born in 1968 in Ha Thien, a Vietnamese town near the Cambodian border, Lê escaped Vietnam with his family in 1978, shortly after the Khmer Rouge's invasion of the area. They resettled in the United States, where his memories of the war soon bumped against the narrative that Americans had of the conflict.
For years the contrasts between the two vantage points made him ponder the subjectivity of recollections, the national narratives of historical events, and the many contradictions created when these intersect. Few things interest him more than what shapes memory, and how memory and history confront each other.
In 1996 Lê returned to Vietnam and set up residency in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). He went about collecting antiques and old objects, looking for stories he could link to his own Vietnamese past. During these hunts, he discovered his first soldiers' paintings, and became interested in knowing more about their creators.
"Nguyen Van Hong—a reconnaissance soldier." Artist unknown, painted in 1972.
"During the war, artists were sent to take part in the war effort, not purely as artists," he explains. "They would draw and paint in between fighting."
Lê also helped produce a documentary featuring interviews with such artists. One, Nguyen Toan Thi, explained the lack of harshness in the artworks. "Why not war and sorrow? Because inherently Vietnamese people have suffered so much already. Hundreds if not thousands of years of war. So many wars on this land. So much sacrifice and loss."
In many cases, the portraits were "the only time some of the soldiers, men and women, ever had their likeness taken. So they kept it on themselves, as a memento to give to their families and loved ones if they were to die in battle," Lê says, "which adds to why you see no blood, no suffering in the paintings. They were meant to record a happier moment, not a moment of destruction."
Parts of Lê's project have been exhibited at other shows, including in 2012 at Documenta 13 in Germany, and in 2013 at the US's Carnegie and Japan's Mori museums.
The project consists of about a hundred paintings, which Lê has divided into three sets. The Carnegie and the Mori each bought a set. Art Basel Hong Kong showed the last one, which was bought by a private collector during the fair.
