PALESTINE West Bank: Israel's new wall expropriates peasants of their land
by Editor TLN January 13, 2023, 3:03 pm 1.7k Views
Authorities have started building a new wall west of Qaffin in the northern West Bank. The structure measures 9 meters high and 45 km long, it will be fortified and will have electronic surveillance devices. Palestinian farmer: Before the area was accessible three days a week, now it is "completely prohibited". The UN Secretary General criticizes Israel's unilateral initiatives.
Jerusalem () – The Israeli authorities have begun building a cement wall west of the city of Qaffin, north of Tulkarem (pictured), in the northern West Bank, which excludes Palestinians from the area of thousands of hectares of cultivated fields. The new wall stretches from the town of Salem to the city of Tulkarem, is nine meters high and once completed will cover nearly 45 km. In addition to the concrete blocks, other fortifications and electronic surveillance devices will be placed.
"Qaffin peasants have been denied access to 1,236 acres of land," to which are added dozens of plots in "neighboring villages," says Muhammad Saeed, a farmer in the area. "Before – he continues – we could enter three days a week" although the Israeli authorities frequently blocked access "under the pretext of security". But now, with the construction of the wall, it will be completely impossible to enter" and that way they will be able to "expropriate us from our lands."
Tayseer Amarneh, the mayor of Akba, in the Tulkarem district, says that "this land is Palestinian, but with the construction of the wall we will no longer be able to access it. They steal our lands with the laughable pretext [de la seguridad]". First a fence and now a reinforced concrete wall, and "the Palestinians are losing land they cultivate" since time immemorial.
Former Defense Minister Benny Gantz approved in November last year the construction of a reinforced concrete wall in the northern West Bank some 100 km long. Israel began building the "wall" in 2002 and, according to estimates by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, it is already 712 km long, 85% of which is inside the West Bank and not along it. along the Green Line according to the borders established in 1967. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that the wall built by Israel inside the Palestinian territories is illegal.
For his part, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, yesterday openly criticized Israel on the sidelines of the Security Council and expressed his concern about the recent "unilateral initiatives". He made reference to Minister Ben-Gvir's "walk" through the Esplanade of the Mosques and to the violence of 2022, the year in which the highest number of deaths has been recorded since the end of the Second Intifada.
The head of UN diplomacy speaks of a "deadly year" for Israelis and Palestinians and explains that, although on the one hand "there is no justification for terrorism", on the other, measures and decisions that do not help must also be denounced to dialogue and peace. "At the same time – it continues – the expansion of the settlements carried out by Israel, combined with the demolition of houses and expropriations, fuel anger and despair". "Finally, I am very concerned – concludes Guterres – about the unilateral initiatives that we have seen in recent days. The rule of law is fundamental to achieving a just and comprehensive peace, which is based on the two-state solution, in accordance with United Nations resolutions, international law and previous agreements."

"Coffee and Pastry shop Houston", as written on the shop sign, was throughout the 20th century the most popular meeting place of the local community of Patmos.
Its traces, date back towards the end of the 19th century when it first opened as the very first coffee shop in the island.
In the early 20th century, the premises were bought by George Karalis, Andrea's Karalis brother, who in turn sold the building to his brother in 1931.
Andreas, being an immigrant himself in Houston, Texas, leases the building for about 25 years, keeping it as a coffee shop though.
However, the coffee shop reaches its heyday while being directed by Andrea's son, Michael, and his daughters, Stamatia, Katina and Kleanthi, who launched the widely popular "Houston" in 1955 and took over the business.
Since its opening, local people embraced and loved "Houston" as it offered them a way out of their daily problems.
Generations have crossed the doorstep of famous "Houston"; people of all ages, celebrities and others in order to savor traditional Greek coffee, sweet-tasting 'Soumada' and delicious spoon sweets.
People partied, sang, discussed, argued and experienced unforgettable moments. These special moments are still remembered and talked about.
Today, after almost 60 years under Stamatia's and her brothers' management, Yannis (youngest son of their beloved god-child Andreas Kavouras) takes over "Houston". Andreas himself worked as a waiter in the service of Michael for many years. So, Yannis along with his friend Alexis have assumed the heavy load to continue this glorious story by bringing the people of Patmos and lovers of "Houston" all over the world back to their favorite spot.
Reaching the present day, always with modesty and respect for the tradition of the shop, but also of the island itself, our efforts are focused on awakening memories in the previous generations who loved "Houston" and create memories for the younger ones, making them an integral part of its story.
Yannis & Alexis
Yiannis Kavouras
Yiannis was born in Athens at 4/3/1990 and he comes from Patmos.
He graduated from Athens University of Economics and Business (Department of Management Science and Technology).
He started his professional career as Sales Supervisor at a travel agency and right after that, he successfully completed his internship at National Bank of Greece.
He was mainly occupied in Sales, until he was hired from Procter & Gamble as a Sales Supervisor, position he retained until the summer of 2017, when he decided to take the big step with his close friend Alexis and make his dream come true, giving life again to his beloved "Houston".
He welcomes you in a daily basis, in order to share the vast history of the place and offer you a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

Have you ever followed what looked like a trail only to end up at someone's back door? Or gone out for a quick walk in the woods and ended up wandering around for hours? Does trying to find your way on hiking trails that are missing trail markers frustrate you?
The Eastman Community Association's (ECA) Woodlands and Wildlife Committee is overhauling its method of marking trails to improve the situation. Painted blazes will soon replace the blue plastic markers nailed to trees, resulting in a more effective and sustainable system.
The decision to do this rather than simply tacking up more plastic was prompted by realization that the markers were being sheared off over time by growth of the trees—an unstoppable force against immoveable objects. The use of painted blazes on trailside trees is favored by most trail-maintenance organizations, and the fact that it is the least intrusive method was an important consideration for the committee.
Since painting blazes is a labor-intensive process, it will take time to make the conversion on all of Eastman's trails. The first trail to receive attention is the much-used Lake Trail that is crossed by many shorter trails from houses to the shore of Eastman Lake. With missing or inadequate marking, it's not unusual for hikers to mistakenly wind up near someone's doorstep. Also, when the trail is covered with leaves in the fall or with snow in the winter, it's easy to unintentionally wander off the path.
Conversion to painted blazes on the section between West Cove and North Cove has already been completed. Besides adding the blazes, committee volunteers have posted signs at the various coves and spurs along the way to identify the trail. However, Trail 6, the wide section between South Cove and West Cove, is not included since it is a walk/ski trail maintained by the Common Properties Committee and ECA's Recreation Department, and marked with ski trail signs.
After much deliberation, the committee chose colors for the blazes: blue for the main trails; red for connector trails between the main trails; and yellow for trail spurs. Semi-gloss latex was purchased to paint crisp two-inch wide by six-inch tall blazes on living trees, spaced so that the next blaze along the trail is within sight, but not so close as to be unnecessarily obtrusive.
The trails in Heath Forest present a special challenge to the system since they are named for colors: Red Trail, Blue…Yellow…Green…Orange…and Pink. Ribbons of colored flagging tape tied to trees—a temporary solution at the time—have been used in Heath to mark the trails ever since they were created. Permanence has not been their virtue, and many have been shredded by the elements of weather and time. Fading turned red ribbons to pink, and other colors suffered as well, requiring replacement on an almost annual basis. Still, the color names for the trails have been established in minds and on maps, so what to do? What seems to be the logical solution for Heath Forest is to retain the names and paint-blaze the trails accordingly.
The 2016 Eastman Community Survey indicated that satisfaction with walking/hiking trails has improved significantly since 2010 when a previous survey was done. This is a tribute to both the ECA staff who maintains the walking/ski trails, and the Woodlands and Wildlife Committee members and volunteers who monitor and maintain the hiking trails. We know, however, that there is always room for improvement, and we hope this initiative will contribute toward that end.
In addition to volunteering on the Woodlands and Wildlife Committee, Craig McArt has also served on Eastman's Walk and Bike Steering Committee.

DA: 2 Islip officials took bribes, threatened job applicants
Sep 14, 2016, 2:13amUpdated on Sep 14, 2016
Two former Town of Islip officials are accused of accepting bribes and threatening job applicants.
The Suffolk District Attorney's Office says John Carney, 54, and Michael Allen, 41, are charged with four felonies and 12 misdemeanors.
Carney was the town's public safety commissioner before resigning three weeks ago for health reasons. Allen was the assistant fire marshal for Islip.
Investigators says the duo is accused of coercing four people to decline job offers from the Town of Islip so that Carney and Allen could hand-pick candidates they wanted for the jobs. They say the hand-picked candidates scored lower on the civil service exam.
Suffolk officials say Carney and Allen told the four job candidates that if they didn't decline the job positions, they would slap them with code enforcement violations on their homes.
Both men were arraigned Tuesday in Suffolk County Court.
Carney's attorney James Pascarella says the allegations stem from political vendettas.
Both men pleaded not guilty and will be back in court next month.


Super Smash Bros is arguably one of the most prestigious events in gaming: if you're a video game character and you get an invite to the Smash tournament, it's surely a big deal. But who makes the cut this time?
Well, the answer is… a long list. The truth is, every single character that's ever appeared in the series is making it onto the Super Smash Bros Ultimate character roster – every single Smash fighter ever gets their chance to shine on the Switch. On top of that, however, there's going to be some all-new fighters, too.
On this page, we're going to list the Smash Ultimate Roster in full – first the complete list and then separately a list of newcomers so you can keep track of who is new to Smash. Before we do that, however, here's the epic trailer Nintendo released as part of their E3 events, showcasing every single character in the game up until that point in action. That's approaching 70 characters for a start!
When you first boot Super Smash Bros Ultimate, you'll actually only have access to twelve characters: the original eight characters from the N64 Super Smash Bros game, plus the four extra characters that featured in that game as unlockable fighters. After that, you'll gradually unlock more characters as you go, with Nintendo aiming to make it feel like you're constantly unlocking a new all-star fighter all the time. To go from twelve to over seventy is a lot – so there's going to be a lot of character unlocking to do.
The fighter roster is made up of essentially two types of characters: fully fledged regular fighters and echo fighters. Echo fighters are essentially 'clone' style versions of existing fighters in the game. They'll have recognizable special moves 'borrowed' from the rest of the cast but will also have some unique properties to their moves to help differentiate them. For instance, Princess Daisy is of course Princess Peach's Echo Fighter, while Dark Samus provides a heavier-hitting take on Samus' iconic move set. We've noted who the echo fighters are below.
Daisy (Super Mario Land): After first appearing as the princess in the Game Boy spin-off Super Mario Land, Daisy is finally fighting in Smash as Peach's Echo Fighter. She'll share similar moves to Peach with slightly adjusted move properties. Daisy has really only had that one major appearance as the Princess of Sarasaland, a far-flung land away from the Mushroom Kingdom, but Daisy has nevertheless become a staple in Mario spin-offs like Mario Party and the sports games – and now she's ready to fight.
Inkling (Splatoon): The star break-out characters of the Wii U console, the Inklings are quick to make their Smash Bros. debut! Both boy and girl Inkling variants are available, with four of each all wearing unique and of course wicked fresh clothing. In Smash the Inkling carries over a key mechanic from Splatoon in that they can ink enemies to make them more vulnerable to attacks and are forced to manage their ammunition by reloading ink through turning into a squid.
Ridley (Metroid): After much fan demand, Metroid villain Ridley makes his Smash debut! It was once said that he'd be too big to battle in Super Smash Bros, but that's been proven false as he joins the Ultimate character roster: he's still huge, by far the biggest fighter, but he does fit on the stage! Ridley comes with all the heavy-hitting moves you'd expect from such a giant character, including some nasty grabs that can drag his foes right the way across the stage.
Simon Belmont (Castlevania): Simon Belmont was a staple of the classic Castlevania series back on the NES and SNES, and like Mega Man and Ryu that makes him a perfect fit for the world of Smash. Simon of course has access to his iconic whip, but also has other classic Castlevania staples like his axe and holy water. His Final Smash sees him imprison his foe in a coffin, because of course it does.
Richter (Castlevania): appearing as an echo fighter for Simon Belmont, Richter is another classic Castlevania series joining the battle in Smash Ultimate. He's actually a direct descendant of Simon, so it makes a lot of sense he'd share some similar moves – especially since both are in the vampire hunting business. He first appeared in Rondo of Blood, which wasn't on a Nintendo console but later saw a release on the Wii Virtual Console.
Dark Samus (Metroid Prime): Dark Samus isn't actually a dark version of the titular hero of Metroid – in fact, it's a being of Phazon that has simply decided to take the form of the universe's greatest Metroid-killing bounty hunter. In Smash Dark Samus is of course an echo fighter of regular Samus and appears to use heavier hitting but slower, corrupted versions of the most iconic moves of Samus.
King K. Rool (Donkey Kong Country): For the longest time Smash fans have complained that Donkey Kong didn't have a villain in Smash. I mean, that isn't strictly true – don't forget that dear old Mario locked up Donkey Kong's dad and battered him with a bullwhip in Donkey Kong Jr – but that doesn't mean K. Rool isn't special. His slapstick, looney tunes style of fighting is a perfect fit for Smash and a great rep for Donkey Kong Country – and it's great to see a British-designed character in the Smash Ultimate character roster!
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle has become one of Nintendo's superstar icons lately. With Animal Crossing a huge success on the DS and 3DS and now with a successful (if slightly money-grabbing) mobile outing, this little cutesy poodle is actually one of Nintendo's more recognizable mascots to more casual players. In Smash, she comes with a more set slightly similar to villager, with actions based on her job as the mayor's assistant in Animal Crossing. Her moves are similar to the Villager in concept, but she's not an echo fighter – she's all new!
Incineroar is the ultimate evolution of one of the fan favorite new starter Pokemon from Pokemon Sun & Moon, and it's a very different sort of Pokemon for Smash – huge and imposing, Incineroar has moves that resemble a pro wrestler. They're all still based off classic Pokemon moves that Incineroar can learn in the games it hails from, but they'll still be very familiar to wrestling fans. This is likely to be a heavy-hitter – and it keeps the trend of representing each Pokemon generation in Smash going.
Ken is an echo fighter of Ryu, who of course joined Smash as one of the most exciting new DLC additions back on the Wii U and 3DS. Ken is perhaps one of the 'original' echo fighters in gaming, given that all the way back in Street Fighter's original outing he was simply a different color Ryu, but over the years he's been differentiated from Ryu quite a lot. His Smash variant is loyal to this, giving Ken slightly different normals, a faster speed, altered properties on some of his specials and a unique final smash.
As well as the above characters listed – the base character roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch, there's also going to be DLC characters – and so far, Nintendo has confirmed six.
Smash Ultimate DLC characters will come in a package, with each character coming packaged with an all-new stage to Smash on plus a selection of music. There'll be five post-launch DLC characters, and they can also be picked up together in what Nintendo's calling the Fighter Pass – essentially a season pass that'll get you five characters, five stages and a bunch of music.
On top of this, there's a pre-order bonus character, Piranha Plant from Mario, who'll be available to anyone who purchases and registers Smash with My Nintendo before January 31 2018. We'll keep updating this page as more information surfaces on the other five DLC characters and stages.
While Nintendo hasn't gone to the lengths of producing a trailer to showcase all the returning stages in Super Smash Bros Ultimate in one go, lots of stages have appeared on the very stacked Smash Bros website and in a number of trailers. It's looking an awful lot like it'll be almost every stage from the history of the series, just as with the characters.
Nintendo has confirmed there'll be 103 stages total, and we're going to tick them off on this list as they're announced and confirmed!
In perhaps the ultimate fan service, Smash Bros on the Switch will also support the classic GameCube Controller. What's more, a new Smash-branded Switch version of the controller will be available when the game launches.
As for amiibo, all existing amiibo will be supported by Super Smash Bros Ultimate, including ones from different series. Meaning you'll be able to use an amiibo from a different game with Ultimate, so long as it's for a character included in the roster – ie. your resplendent Wedding Suit Mario from Super Mario Odyssey will interact with Mario in Smash.


If you have been hurt on the job, you cannot sue your employer, regardless of whether it was your fault or theirs. Instead, the employer is required to provide you workers' compensation benefits to cover lost wages from missed work and medical bills incurred because of the injury.
The process to obtain these benefits is detailed and complex with strict timelines and protocol. As soon as you have been injured in a work injury, it is important that you consult legal representation to fully understand what you are entitled to and the best way to make sure you get it.
At Goldstein & Goldstein, LLP, we guide workers through the process from the moment they contact us to the recovery of benefits. Should you come to us after a denied claim, we assist you in creating an appeal.
We will gather the medical records and evaluations needed to demonstrate the extent of your injury. We will guide you to the medical treatment and rehab that you need to make a full recovery and move past this injury.
Medical benefits — The employer is responsible for the cost of medical treatment to "cure and relieve" the effects of the injury you have suffered on the job. This includes immediate care, as well as therapy and rehabilitation.
Temporary total disability (TTD) benefits — The employer is responsible to cover a certain amount of lost income, beginning after a one-week waiting period. You can receive up to 70 percent of your weekly wage if you are out of work because of the injury.
We are also ready to help you sort through matters of permanent total disability (PTD) and permanent partial disability (PPD), working to recover those benefits when needed.
Our lawyers are willing to take cases and situations that other firms might turn away, confident in our ability to get results. We will fight on your behalf to ensure that you are treated justly and provided the benefits you need.
To arrange a free initial consultation to discuss how we can help you obtain workers' compensation or third-party benefits, please contact our New Jersey office today.


Cashew Dry Fruit | Buy Online|ABK® Buy Worlds Best Saffron, Walnuts, Acacia Honey, Morels & more!
The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew seed (what is called as cashew nut) and the cashew apple. Cashew nuts are more popular than cashew apples in many parts of the world that do not grow cashews, because the fruit, unlike the nut, is difficult to transport. Cashew nuts are commonly used in Indian cuisine, whole for garnishing sweets or curries, or ground into a paste that forms a base of sauces for curries (e.g., korma), or some sweets (e.g., kaju barfi). It is also used in powdered form in the preparation of several Indian sweets and desserts. 100gms of cashewnuts contribute about 600 calories.
Cashews help lower LDL and increase the carrying capacity for HDL. HDL is responsible to absorb the cholesterol from the heart and take it to the liver where it can be broken down.
Cashews contains a powerful antioxidant pigment called Zea Xanthin. This pigment is readily and directly absorbed by our retina. Small quantities of Zea Xanthin helps prevent age related macular degeneration in elderly and hence helps maintain eyehealth.
Storage: Store cashews in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to avoid absorption of other food odors. Refregiration is required to ensure quality. Cashews may also be frozen up to 1 year.

News Release 3-Apr-2019
2019 Takeda Pharmaceuticals/ACMG Foundation Next Generation Fellowship Awards announced
The ACMG Foundation for Genetic and Genomic Medicine announces the six recipients of the 2019 Takeda Pharmaceuticals/ACMG Foundation Next Generation Fellowship Awards
Grant and Award Announcement
American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics
Six recipients of the Takeda/ACMG Foundation Next Generation Fellowship Awards were announced during the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) 2019 Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting in Seattle, Washington. The six awards were the third set of awards given after Shire (now part of Takeda) made a $1.65 million commitment in 2017 to support the training of future medical geneticists.
Bruce R. Korf, MD, PhD, FACMG, president of the ACMG Foundation said, "We are delighted to recognize the continuing support of Takeda to this important program in training clinical and laboratory geneticists, especially given the rapid pace of change in this field and the great opportunity to improve health of our patients."
Takeda Pharmaceuticals/ACMG Foundation Genetics and Genomics Residency Fellowship Program will provide funding for two different specialties in 2019: one Clinical Genetics and Genomics Residency Training Award (2 years) and five Medical Biochemical Genetics Subspecialty Fellowships (1 year).
Clinical Genetics and Genomics Residency Fellowship:
1. Elizabeth Jalazo, MD, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
Dr. Jalazo is a board-certified pediatrician and fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics. She grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina and received a BS in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She moved to the DC area after graduating medical school at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Dr. Jalazo completed her pediatric training at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, MD. She spent an additional two years at Johns Hopkins as a general academic pediatrics fellow and serving as pediatric Chief Resident.
She has practiced since 2016 in the Greater DC area, as a pediatrician with a special interest in caring for children with complex healthcare needs. During this time, she also served on the Maryland AAP Board of Directors, advocating for children with disabilities. Additionally, she joined the Angelman Syndrome Foundation Board of Directors in 2017 and has played a key role in the expansion of the global Angelman Syndrome Clinic Network. She moved back to North Carolina with her husband and three children this past fall and is excited to return to her alma mater, UNC, as a medical genetics fellow this summer.
Dr. Jalazo said, "I am thrilled to accept the Shire/ACMG Foundation "Next Generation" training award. It is an honor to serve the ACMG Foundation for Genetic and Genomic Medicine and Shire with this 2-year award dedicated to advancing education, research and the practice of medical genetics."
Medical Biochemical Genetics Subspecialty Fellowships:
1. Joshua Baker, DO, FAAP, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School Genetics Training Program
Dr. Baker received his DO from Des Moines University, College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2014. He is currently a Clinical Genetics Fellow in the Harvard Medical School Genetics Training Program. His research at Boston Children's Hospital covers, "A Retrospective Chart Review: Effect of Socioeconomic Influence on Phenylalanine Levels in PKU Patients", as Primary Investigator and "Gene Transfer of SB-913 in patients with MPS II" as a Co-Investigator. Now in a Clinical Genetics Fellowship, he plans on expanding his prior research to help assess and improve healthcare outcomes for patients with genetic and metabolic disease with the goal to assess the barriers to diagnose and treat individuals to lead to improved morbidity and mortality of this population.
Dr. Baker said of receiving the award, "I am extremely honored to be awarded the 2019 Takeda Next Generation Medical Biochemical Subspecialty Fellowship. I am thankful that our industry partners continue to make such scholarships available, helping to make quality educational and training opportunities accessible to a new generation of Metabolic providers.

His graduate thesis investigated the neuroproteomic changes associated with nicotine addiction. Dr. Brucker completed his pediatric residency training at the University of Connecticut before joining the fellowship program in Clinical Genetics and Genomics in 2016. His primary interests are in galactosemia, congenital disorders of glycosylation, and biochemical medical education. His career goals are to both provide and advance the clinical care of individuals with inborn errors of metabolism and improve the understanding of these disorders by physicians and the lay public. The focus of his clinical project will involve the use of stable isotope studies in order to ascertain functional genotype/phenotype correlations in individuals with galactosemia and diverse genotypes.
"I am thrilled and honored to have received this award. I am looking forward to starting a career in biochemical genetics and becoming a part of the biochemical genetics community," said Dr. Brucker once receiving the award.
3. Kevin E. Glinton, MD, PhD., Baylor College of Medicine
Dr. Glinton is currently a second-year clinical genetics resident at Baylor College of Medicine where he has enjoyed caring for children with a range of inborn errors of metabolism. After pursuing a graduate degree in synthetic organic chemistry with a focus on the synthesis of small pharmacologically active compounds, he graduated in 2014 from the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. Dr. Glinton's undergraduate and graduate research in the clinical applications of chemistry and pharmacology eventually led to his career in genetics after completing a pediatrics residency at the University of Virginia Health System. Dr. Glinton will continue his training at Baylor College of Medicine as a medical biochemical genetics fellow.
Upon receiving this award, Dr. Glinton said, "I am very excited and humbled to be a recipient of the ACMG Foundation Takeda Next Generation Award. I have greatly enjoyed my time here at Baylor and I am happy to have the privilege of being taught and mentored by the amazing metabolic faculty here for another year. I hope that the research this award affords will give our patients new insight and possibly additional options for the management of this condition."
4. Fillipo Ingoglia, PhD, University of Utah, School of Medicine
Dr. Filippo Ingoglia was born in Italy, growing up in Partanna, a small hill town located in the west of Sicily. He graduated from the University of Parma with a MSc in Biology and Biomedical Application in 2013. In 2017, he earned his PhD in Molecular Medicine from the University of Parma. His PhD work focused on functional and molecular analysis of Organic Cation Transporters (OCTs and OCTNs) in human airway epithelial cells and macrophages. In his postdoctoral career, he worked on lysinuric intolerance (LPI) focusing on the availability and effects of arginine on macrophagic function.
"I am very honored to receive this award from the ACMG Foundation that will allow me to obtain training and investigate metabolic alterations in urea cycle disorders," said Dr. Ingoglia after receiving the award.
5. Brian J. Shayota, MD, Baylor College of Medicine

Researching trilingualism and trilingual education in China
Anwei Feng, Bob Adamson
School of Education and English
Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceeding › Book Chapter › peer-review
The introductory chapter gives the rationale and methodology of the chapters included in this volume. All chapters are research reports that emerged from a nationwide project on trilingualism and trilingual education in China. Traditionally, research in this area of study was conducted mostly in isolation in different minority regions or prefectures in the country. There was no known investigation done for gaining a comprehensive, comparable, and critical understanding of the contemporary situation of languages in use and language provision for indigenous minority groups. This chapter, firstly, provides the underpinning ideology and rationale for the nationwide project conducted through concerted efforts of research teams from key minority regions or prefectures and Guangdong Province which provides a particularly interesting case study. It then presents a detailed account of the design of the research, from the establishment of the nationwide network, the formulation of research questions, the methodology and methods used, the designing of research tools, to the organisation of the volume. The strategies used to deal with all these are clearly crucial from the point of view of comparability, validity and trustworthiness of research findings. Finally, the chapter lists the target audience of the volume, including policy makers, teachers and researchers in minority education.

Q: How to check my API logs inside my kubernetes cluster in GCP I'm trying to check the logs of my API but I cannot find them in Google Cloud Platform.
I explored Stackdriver but I only found the logs that kubernetes throws. I want to go deeper and check the logs that my API throws inside each pod.
Do I need to use another tool?

A: You can see the kube-apiserver.log in your Master node.
/var/log/kube-apiserver.log - API Server, responsible for serving the API
More references: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-cluster/#looking-at-logs

A: You can write logs to the pod logs in several ways. Have a look at Kubernetes logging , choose whichever you like most, and implement it into your API.
Then you will find your logs via:  kubectl logs

Q: Convert static query in Mysql to Dynamic I'm having some problems understanding dynamic query in Mysql. I need to convert my example query from static to dynamic. In the example i have 2 schemas and i already know the names. But i need to create a dynamic query that works if i don't know the schemas'name and number. Can i get an hint on how to do it or what i need to study?
SELECT MIN(tmp.DATE47) as DATE47,
   MIN(tmp.HOUR47) as HOUR47,
   MIN(tmp.DATE49) as DATE49,
   MIN(tmp.HOUR49) as HOUR49

FROM (SELECT DATEIN AS DATE47, HOURIN AS HOUR47, NULL AS DATE49, NULL AS HOUR49
 FROM `schema1`.`table` WHERE STATE = 17 AND LEVEL = 1
     UNION ALL
 SELECT NULL AS DATE47, NULL AS HOUR47, HOURIN AS DATE49, HOURIN AS HOUR49
 FROM `schema2`.`table` WHERE STATE = 17 AND LEVEL = 1)tmp

A: A quick example on prepared statements:
SET @statement = 'SELECT MIN(tmp.DATE47) as DATE47,
   MIN(tmp.HOUR47) as HOUR47,
   MIN(tmp.DATE49) as DATE49,
   MIN(tmp.HOUR49) as HOUR49

FROM (SELECT DATEIN AS DATE47, HOURIN AS HOUR47, NULL AS DATE49, NULL AS HOUR49
 FROM `schema1`.`table` WHERE STATE = 17 AND LEVEL = 1
     UNION ALL
 SELECT NULL AS DATE47, NULL AS HOUR47, HOURIN AS DATE49, HOURIN AS HOUR49
 FROM `schema2`.`table` WHERE STATE = 17 AND LEVEL = 1)tmp;'

PREPARE stmt FROM @statement;

Now you can use this statement to query schema1 and schema2:
EXECUTE stmt;

If you need to use, i.e., schema3 and schema2 do:
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
PREPARE stmt FROM REPLACE(@statement,'schema1','schema3');

and start doing: EXECUTE stmt; again....
Of course this would be handled in a stored procedure, more efficiently.


Lee's Story comes three years after the end of Jesse's Story and five years after the end of Bran's Story. Dunaev, Bran's old master, has ruined another slave, and this time has dubbed him 'irreparable'.
Meet Lee. He's terrified, catatonic, and even worse off than Bran was when Holden and Alix bought him from Dunaev. Reminded horribly of Bran, Holden begins to think seriously about the consequences of slavery and makes a decision that could have repercussions for his whole family.
This book is a hell of a lot longer than the other two (like, five hundred and forty-five pages long), but I devoured it just the same. This one switches between Holden and Lee's points of view, which works quite well for the purposes of the story. It was interesting, especially, to read things from Holden's point of view.
Holden has been a bit of a mystery in previous books, so it was really nice to get an insight into his mind. I decided early on in this book that him and Bran are both blind idiots, but I love them anyway.
It was also really interesting to read about Holden trying to help and fix Lee when he wasn't physically attracted to him at all. He felt all paternal towards him, and I liked that these feelings were one of the things that triggered him thinking seriously about abolition.
Valor really came into her own in this book. I mean, she's still an idiot and quite unlikeable, but she did a lot of growing up by the end of this book. I really enjoyed watching her journey, even if poor Holden didn't.
The characters continued to grow and develop in this one, and it was nice to see them all from Lee's fresh point of view. Especially Jer, I think. I have never shipped a couple so hard, and I wish the end was less ambiguous about them. Jer, staaay.
It was intriguing reading what's basically a slave fic focused all around abolition. Especially when it actually made me feel conflicted about the whole argument. I mean, I'm against slavery in real life, but all I could think about was the consequences of abolition on the little family I'd grown to love. Puzzling.
The time skips towards the end annoyed me, but I can see why they're necessary, and probably would have been less annoying in the original Livejournal form.

This is a requirement for the Lakeview Lodge Karapiro to accept your booking. The Lodge Management Team have no authority to reduce or limit the amount of bond taken.
Unfortunately, our industry is regularly being targeted by people who are using stolen credit cards and or just choose not to pay for their stay. We have credit cards that are rejected when we go to authorise them.
The only way we must protect ourselves is to pre-authorise credit cards and or take a cash payment. If we do not take a bond as well then, we have people who leave and if incident has occurred then we have no recourse. And this in turn means that everyone else has to pay.
Unfortunately, it is the small number of people that can potentially cost us a lot of money that has meant this policy has been introduced.
We thoroughly recommend looking at travel insurance if any of this is a possibility.

Naples April 2014
From Sunday the 13th to Sunday the 20th of April the Train Hard team were in Naples. The event was organised by the Provolution parkour family, of which, Train Hard are a part.
A notable event at the airport was Dan bringing various bottles of liquid and razor blades in his hand luggage.
Arriving in Naples was interesting, with just one tiny Fiat Punto sent to ferry all 8 of TH to the Motion Parkour Park, where we were staying. After a bit of haggling in Italian, none of which we understood, we came to a deal that it would cost us 10 euros each to get to the park.
The driving in Naples is slightly more open to interpretation than in the U.K. Driving in the middle of two lanes is the done thing, with plenty of friendly beeps of the horn to go with it. Seat belts are also optional.
Once we arrived at the park, the taxi drivers had changed their minds and decided the fare had gone up, after a bit of haggling in Italian it was decided that the fare had still gone up and we were paying the higher price.
The Motion Park is a warehouse in a car breakers yard on a country road. The Motion Production crewhave poured a lot of their blood and sweat (leading to an unsanitary situation j/k) into the place, and have turned it into a versatile training area.
The bar set up is really cool, and is where I (Jackson) spent most of my time, starting with basic stuff, then finding more difficult challenges as the week went on. Then Matthias Mayer turned up and blew all of my efforts out of the water.
A handful of different boxes are spread around the gym; these can be moved around to create different opportunities. Lastly there is a foam pit. Dan Parry spent A LOT of time in the foam pit.
Throughout the week, we visited Monte Santo nearly everyday, where there are loads of interesting places to train. We trained mostly in the centre of the city, with security not really being too worried about people training, as long as you're being quiet.
The locals were really inviting, and it was really great meeting the locals at different cities and training spots. They've already figured out a lot of the interesting challenges, which means you can get going straight away.
On Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th, we delivered some workshops to the Italians. On both days we were met with enthusiastic and willing attitudes. Although we didn't speak any Italian, we had a great translator in Gianluca. Even though there was a language barrier, the Train Hard charm came across loud and clear, and everybody enjoyed the warm ups and activities.
One activity saw participants losing their right arm and their sight, then trying to negotiate the park's various obstacles. Quite often, a person's parkour training can become quite boxed in, with only specific movements being focused on. The activity mentioned above takes a person out of their comfort zone and back into the mind of a beginner. It was fantastic to see everybody take to the challenge so well.
One person who really struck me was Matthias Mayer. Now, Matthias can move, and he can move well. Before meeting him I wasn't sure what he'd be like; a person who is at the top of their game can sometimes be arrogant, looking down on people of lesser skill. This is not the case with Matthias and highlighted to me, my own prejudices.
As soon as we met Matthias, we liked him. He had a great sense of humor and he was instantly cracking jokes and throwing the banter about with the rest of us. The fact that he was doing ridiculous side somersault precisions was a bonus. He got involved with all of the coached activities and ran a fantastic lache workshop. Speaking to him in the less dynamic moments of the trip, it's obvious he's a thinker and has his head screwed on. We can't wait to get him over to the UK.
Another highlight was meeting the Crazy Traceur boys, Loris, Manuele and Guglielmo. Young lads with great potential, and a real appetite for challenge. We look forward to seeing you guys again!
The stars of the show are the Motion Production crew. A huge thank you and much respect goes to Gianluca Ferraiuolo, Giuseppe Nappo, Gianmarco Cipolletta and Salvatore Langella. Not forgetting Antonio Fasano (meatball) and Valentina Pianese (we hope your car is okay).
These guys were so accommodating. We were given access to their parkour facility all week, and living in a parkour facility means there's no excuse for lack of training. It's obvious that the Motion Production team want to further parkour in Italy, and are making some great efforts trying to realise their goal. Train Hard are proud to be a member of Provolution and enjoy working in partnership with all involved.
A massive shout out also goes out to the Swiss team Streem Freerun. Colin, Marco, Damaris, Niko and Joshua (yoshi mitchi yasaki). It was great to see you all, and you made our trip really memorable. Luca 'Swainger' Russo is okay too…
Check out the images below, and be sure to check out the guys on all the social media, if you can be bothered with that.

The 22nd edition of the iconic Wave Rider is here. The Runbirds have been making this neutral runner since 1997. Its almost annual tweaks to the design, shape, fit and form are vocally debated amongst the Wave Rider connoisseurs each update. Was it like the 17? Does it fit as good as the 20's?
A quick history on the Wave Rider, back in the day when the other shoe brands were going for (insert trademark here) cushioned runners, the folks at Mizuno went another direction, how can they make a shoe propel you as well as look after your feet… not just make another marshmallow shoe.
The clever folks at Mizuno invented the Wave plate, which is a thermoplastic, wave-shaped piece in the midsole of the shoe which is designed to act like a spring, redirecting downward energy into a forward motion. It also does other fancy things such as hold the shape of the foot. The Wave Plate has been the central part of each Wave Rider and gives it a certain feel not really found anywhere else amongst other shoes.
Ok, so now the 22 is here and what is different since the 21's have now moved to the discount rack?
The first thing I noticed is that the ride in the 22's is softer than previous models, you still get that classic whip feel through the shoe of a Wave Rider (as the wave plate is still the same) but the heal is definitely softer.
They do this by changing the design of the outsole right where your heal lands, take a look at the base of the wave plate where you will see these small holes on the bottom surface of the midsole. They allow air through providing a softer feel and more cushioning, especially if you're a heal striker like me. So straight out of the box you don't need to 'break them in' like previous Rider's. It's a nice 'Ride' from a fresh pair.
The other update you get from the 22's is that it's a touch more flexible than the previous versions through the forefoot. If there has been any issue I have had with the older model Riders is that they can be a little bit stiff.
The new re-designed outsole on the 22's fixes this as they have added in another flex groove. Spin your old 21's over and you can count 2 flex grooves on the outsole, have a look under your new 22's and you can count an extra groove there. This new 3 groove design give a very positive feel to the Rider when you toe off.
The upper has had an update too with a full-length mesh upper all the way through, which provides that secure 'hold your foot in place' feel but if you are like me and love that 'Knit Look" the new Knit uppers of the 22 should be landing at Mizuno Australia HQ real soon!
So in summary, it's touch softer, a touch more flexible but still whips like a rider should.


Keith & Koep introduces powerful and compact touchpanel PCs with the i-PAN touchscreen computers. They are available in different sizes and configurations. E.g. the device can be used as a HMI industrial PC for controlling, data collection and processing, navigation, or as a simple panel for output of images and sound. Depending on the version, Microsoft Windows CE, Embedded Compact 7 and Android / Linux operating systems are available.
The i-PAN4 is a new type of a "DOM" (Display On Module) device. The intelligent Touchpanel is ready to run operating systems like Microsoft Windows Embedded CE and Compact 7. The board is based on the NXP i.MX 28 processor and comes with different connectivity options combined with a TFT-display (4.3" with 480 x 272 px or 7.0" with 800 x 480 px) optionally with capacitive or resistive touch. The panel is designed for a quick and simple integration in customized equipments. Easy expandability is possible through a 40 pin header or 230 pin MXM edge connector.

Q: About Network Dynamics Consider the 6-node ring with only one bit active (000001). This is shown in the following figure as a hexagon with one circle filled.

If the active bit is traveling in the counter clockwise
direction, we can represent the transitioning bit string as follows:

After six-rotations, r, the ring is in the same configuration as when we started. Symbolically we can
represent this as:

,where the numbers represent the decimal equivalent of the bit string.
Also, they are
underlined to remind us that these are group symbols not numbers to be manipulated as numbers.
This string of elements interspersed with a rotation operation represents the
elements for the group and the main operation.
We represent this group by $G^6_1$ where the
superscript reminds us that the group is for six-node rings and the subscript is the lowest
decimal equivalent of the bit string in this group.
The $G^6_1$ group can now be written as $G^6_1=\{\underline{1}, \underline{2}, \underline{4}, \underline{8}, \underline{16}, \underline{32} \}. $
Thus, the full set of all the groups $G^6=\{G_1^6,G_5^6,G_9^6,G_21^6\}$ is given as:

Define the operator $\Phi_{nr}$ which transforms one group into another group in $G^6$,  where the subscript on the operator represent the number of rotations when the
pulse is injected.
For example,  in $G^6$ sensor fusion operator group transformations, consider $\Phi_2 (G_1^6)\to G_5^6$.
This equation says that when the CPG circuit has one cycling through the ring and if a pulse of duration equal to the time constant of the
neurons is injected at rotation 2 (subscript to operator) this will be the equivalent of initializing the ring circuit with (000101) or decimal 5.
Thus, So the circuit is transformed to
the $G_5^6$ group. Explicitly this would be written as $(000100) + (000001) \to (000101).$
Example 2.Consider $\Phi_{23}(G_1^6) \to G_9^6$.  This means that when a pulse of
two time constants are injected at rotation positions 2 and 3 into a 6-node circuit with a
signal already at position 0 (always the assumed initial state),  the circuit pulse pattern
will transform to $G_9^6$.
Explicitly this would be written as $(000001) + (000110) \to
(0001001).$

Question: I've checked that $(000001) + (000110) \to
(0001001)$ does not follow with the rules of binary addition. My question is how did the author established this expression? Is there any algorithm to follow? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Somerset floods engineered deliberately to help with drier winters!!!
Sat 10:04 pm +00:00, 22 Feb 2014 2
blogged by Tapestry
The shocking truth is that these floods were not a natural disaster, but the result of deliberate policy
I fear the front-page story in The Telegraph – revealing that the worst of the flood damage could have been prevented – didn't tell the half of it. Nor did another newspaper's "exclusive" on the story, reported here last week, that the Met Office had forecast in November that the three months between December and February would be drier than usual.
Devastating evidence has now come to light not just that the floods covering 65 square miles of the Somerset Levels could have been prevented, but that they were deliberately engineered by Labour ministers in 2009, regardless of the property and human rights of the thousands of people whose homes and livelihoods would be affected. Furthermore, that wildly misleading Met Office forecast in November led the Environment Agency to take a step that has made the flooding infinitely more disastrous than it need have been.
The "smoking guns" begin with a policy decision announced in 2005 by Labour's "floods minister" Elliot Morley, later to be jailed for fraudulently claiming more than £30,000 on his MP's expenses. Under the heading "Saving wetland habitats: more money for key sites", Morley directed that, to comply with the EU's habitats directive and a part-EU-funded study involving the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the WWF and the Environment Agency, flooding in Somerset should be artificially promoted, because "wildlife will benefit from increased water levels". The 13 local drainage boards, responsible for keeping the Levels properly managed, were all to be co-opted into implementing this policy.
The Environment Agency had already stopped proper dredging of the River Parrett, which provides the main channel draining floodwater on the Levels to the sea, because of the exorbitant cost of disposing of silt under EU waste regulations. And Morley had vetoed a proposal to build a new pumping station at Dunball, at the end of the massive Kings Sedgemoor Drain, which would have allowed much more effective, 24-hour pumping of flood water into the mouth of the Parrett estuary,
In 2008, an Environment Agency policy document on the "Parrett Catchment Area" admitted that it was "still not completely clear" how much the deliberate increase in flooding would breach "the property rights and Human Rights" of those whose homes and businesses would be damaged. Yet in 2009, the government gave £8 million to "restore" – ie, increase flooding on – 10 Somerset "floodplains", including the purchase of a large area of farmland at Southlake Moor next to Burrowbridge on the Parrett, which had been drained since the 13th century. It was to be handed over to Natural England to "store" water as habitat for birds when, as the Met Office was already predicting, climate change would bring drier winters.

The Environment agency Sponsored the Birmingham Gay Pride gang for £31,000 in 2009.
Chairman Lord Smith was in charge and spent £250,000 having meetings in private venues like Aston Villa club. Even though they had dozens of their own premises.
Even though all the meetings were a scam he got paid £100,000 per year.

"Jeepers!" A Nine-Year-Old's Review of Scooby Doo animated series and comics
ComicsDC ComicsFeaturedGender IssuesReviewsWomen in Comics
Carolyn Cocca
By Carolyn Cocca and Anna Cocca Goodman
From the time Anna was born, I've wanted to share my pop culture loves with her, but many of the comics I read or tv shows I watch just aren't appropriate for her. Currently, she loves to read My Little Pony, Ms. Marvel, Lumberjanes, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Josie and the Pussycats, and various Star Wars book series for young readers. She reads and watches other stuff besides these: here are her reviews of Princeless, Pet Avengers, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Bandette, and March.
Right now, it's all about Scooby Doo in our house. Scooby Doo, Where Are You? (1969-71) was the original Scooby Doo animated series. It was followed by: The New Scooby Doo Movies (1972-73), The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show (1983-85), What's New Scooby Doo? (2002-06), Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated (2010-13), and Be Cool, Scooby Doo (2015-present).
We have watched all of these (yes, all of the episodes, more than once), and also have read Scooby Doo Team Up volumes 1 and 2 (2014-present) by Sholly Fisch and Dario Brizuela. This comic series follows from The New Scooby Doo Movies, in which the Scooby gang teams up with various characters and celebrities of the 1970s.
Here, verbatim, is a conversation we had about these series.
Carolyn: What do you like about Scooby Doo?
Anna: I like that it's kind of written from a teenager's perspective.
Carolyn: What do you mean?
Anna: It's not like it focuses on one of the kids, but, it's kind of like you see all four of their points of view. Whoever did the show did a good job of thinking what children would want the characters to do. And they are diverse.
Carolyn: What do you mean by diverse?
Anna: They're each really different. Shaggy's tall, skinny, and always thinking about food. Velma is short and smart and crime-solving. Daphne is danger-prone, tall, and redheaded. Fred is tall, blonde, and also crime-solving. He and Velma are the ones that usually do most of it. Last but not least, Scooby is a Great Dane. He's also always thinking about food and is on Shaggy's side of things.
Carolyn: Who is your favorite character?
Anna: My favorite character is Daphne because she is supporting solving the mystery, unlike Shaggy and Scooby. Also, in a lot of them she is scared, but she keeps going. She's more the star in The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show, that Fred and Velma aren't in. She's shown as danger prone in the old show, but in newer ones, she is much cooler, like by picking locks with all kind of different stuff in What's New Scooby Doo. And in Be Cool, Scooby Doo she's funnier, much less serious, and some of the things she does are really neat, like flying an airplane, and doing odd things in every episode that seem weird but help catch the crook in the end.
Daphne in Be Cool, Scooby Doo (2015-present)—the only show where the characters' looks differ somewhat from the original show.
Carolyn: What are the differences between the shows?
Anna: Well, other than Daphne, one of the main differences is that in Be Cool, Scooby Doo they make fun of previous Scooby Doo episodes and the mystery genre. Like, when there's chase scene music, you see a person playing the music. Or when Shaggy and Scooby are escaping from a gremlin in a gigantic airplane, but they're trying to quickly gulp down food before the elevator closes, and it's all in slow mo and they have serious and strong and heroic music. I didn't like Mystery, Inc. It was way too serious and scary. The plot twists were very good, but there weren't enough funny things in it. It also showed more feelings between the characters, like Fred and Daphne, and Shaggy choosing between Velma and Scooby Doo. [Parental note: Mystery, Inc. had one overarching mystery throughout that younger kids might miss. Anna did like unraveling that big mystery, but she did not like the way it was darker than the other shows.] Also, in the old shows it was mostly men who committed the crimes and there were few female suspects. And those shows had stereotypes of Native Americans and other people.
Carolyn: Do you like the music [in the second season of Scooby Doo Where Are You, and in What's New Scooby Doo and Be Cool, Scooby Doo], or do you prefer the shows without it?
Anna: Either is fine, but I like the music. All the songs are really good.
Carolyn: Which Scooby-Doo comic team up is your favorite?
Anna: The one with Wonder Woman. It's mostly the girls doing the adventuring. As I said in the Princeless review, I like it when girls are main characters so I can compare myself to them.
The gang teams up with Wonder Woman in Scooby Doo Team Up #9
Carolyn: Who else did they team up with that you liked?
Anna: I like the shows where they team up with the Harlem Globetrotters, because all the Globetrotters are funny, especially Meadowlark and Curly. They also team up with Josie and the Pussycats and Batman and Robin and other people on the show, and the Super Friends, Superman, Batman and Ace, the Teen Titans, and others in the comics.
The Harlem Globetrotters in one of their three appearances on The New Scooby Doo Movies
Carolyn: Which of the shows is your favorite and why?
Anna: My three favorites are the New Scooby Doo Movies, with the team ups. What's New Scooby Doo, where Daphne is so much cooler and solves more of the mystery. And the newest one, Be Cool Scooby Doo. So, to sum up, Scooby Dooby Doo and Shaggy and Velma and Fred and Daphne too!

PIC: Gardaí Had The Greatest Response To Person Who "Liked And Shared" A FB Post About A Cannabis Seizure
By Darragh Berry
It's a shame that Electric Picnic and All-Ireland finals are on around the same period of the year.
Because instead of being annoyed by one constant stream of 'like and share' posts, you now have to put up with double the amount.
The cycle of a 'like and share' post is always the same.
You like and share 17 posts about All-Ireland Football Final tickets, message the page to see if they've announced the winner and then after a week moan about how 'you never win these competitions.'
Gardaí confirmed that they had "assisted the District Drug Unit in carrying out a search of a house in Waterford City as a result of an ongoing investigation into the sale and supply of Controlled Drugs in the Waterford area."
"A Large quantity of cannabis plants were seized along with significant quantity of harvested cannabis.
"The value of drugs seized is estimated to be approx. €30,000. One male (30s) was arrested and Detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Waterford Garda Station.
"He was later released pending file now to DPP. Investigations are on going," the Gardaí confirmed.
They attached pictures of the cannabis seized with the post and some genius immediately commented underneath it saying "liked and shared thanks for the chance hope I win never win these things."
But the Gardaí had the last laugh.
Well played, An Garda Síochána.
