Clare Costanzo and her team of Jess Angus, Ruby Scholten, Celia Willison and Hannah Lanz have won the 2018 Hardy Cup!
This is a historic win as not only has Clare become the first female skipper to get her name on the trophy, in addition the team is also the first all female team to do so since since its inauguration in 2001.
The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (RPAYC) was represented by two teams at the Hardy Cup 2018 this week, both skippered by the Costanzo sisters Clare and Juliet.
On Clare's team was Jess Angus, Ruby Scholten, Celia Willison and Hannah Lanz. On Juliet's team was James Farquharson, Annalise Scholten, Sam Thomas and Rachel Bower.
Hosted by the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, and considered one of Australia's most prestigious match racing events, the Hardy Cup, is an Under 25 World Sailing Grade 3 International Event. The Hardy Cup was donated by Sir James Hardy (Event Patron), the America's Cup, World Champion and Olympic Yachtsman, and prominent RSYS member to promote the match racing helming skills and tactical skills of young sailors.
The 2017 Australian Sailing Coach of the Year Tom Spithill spent the week on-water supporting his two RPAYC crews, the other helmed by Clare's younger sister Juliet. On Friday morning, February 9th, he woke up in Auckland where he will coach and mentor two different teams fielded by his club for the Nespresso Youth International Match Racing Cup, February 9 - 13.
The RSYS's next major event is the Etchells NSW Championship which will play out February 16-18 on Sydney Harbour.
Twleve teams took to the waters just off the RSYS clubhouse on the 5th of February. They represent: Royal Freshwater Yacht Club, Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club, Sandringham Yacht Club, Darwin Sailing Club, RPAYC, CYCA and RSYS.
On Day 1 Clare and team suffered their first and only loss of the day in their first race, with Tom Grimes (CYCA) getting the better of them off the line, and the girls struggling to read the wind as the sea breeze tried to stabilise. It was onwards and upwards from their as they won the next 6 races, placing them in 2nd place overall after day 1.
Juliet and team had a promising day, considering this is Juliet's first time helming at a Youth Match Racing regatta. Juliet managed to start well and was getting around the track in good shape.
"All our Matches were really close, and I was really impressed with our team dynamics. Being my first regatta, their were a lot of mistakes...however I hope to learn from these mistakes, and try not to repeat them!" said an excited Juliet Costanzo. Juliet was sitting on three points, with wins against the CYCA, RFBYC, and RSYS.
Hardy Cup 2018 - Juliet Costanzo crew, -1!
Juliet Costanzo finished in 10 overall, again winning 3 races. A great first hitout for the RPAYC skipper-sailor.
The Semis and Finals will be held tomorrow, Thursday 8 February.
The Semis are done: it's Tom Grimes CYCA vs Patrick Harris RNZYS in the Petit and George Anyon RNZYS vs Clare Costanzo RPAYC in the Finals!

I probably own two pairs of blue jeans and the rest are black. Black skinny jeans/jeggings are my absolute favorite because they can be paired with anything, but they also give a cool and more edgy look. Personally, I like plain tees and oversized shirts. I really like them with my ankle boots or Converse….

Calculates a smooth mean daily annual cycle for an array nominally dimensioned (Time,Level,Lat,Lon).
A four-dimensional array (*, lev, lat, lon) output by clmDayTLLL.
The number of harmonics that will be used to construct the smoothed mean annual cycle. Usually, nHarm is 1 to 3 with 2 being most common. A value of 2 means to use the annual and semi-annual harmonics only.
Calculate a smooth annual cycle using the output from clmDayTLLL. A Fourier analysis is performed via an FFT. Next, all harmonics greater than nHarm are set to zero and a backward transform is performed.
In 6.2.1, this function was updated to work on daily SST data which have _FillValue over land.
Please see: MJO_CLIVAR: Example 2 for a visual example.
Compute the smooth long term daily means at all 17 pressure levels. The input is daily geopotential heights. The values are packed as type short and must be unpacked. There was no calendar attribute so a gregorian calendar is assumed. Still, the code shows how to check and, subsequently, associate the calendar attribute if it is present.

Spike Aerospace, which is developing the 18-passenger S-512 supersonic business jet (SSBJ), said it shares "critically important" concerns raised in recent reports regarding the potential impact of supersonic flight on the environment. In fact, the company is aiming for its low-boom Mach 1.6 aircraft to meet stringent Stage 5 engine noise and emissions regulations.
The Boston-based company intends to have the S-512 flying by early 2021, with customer deliveries starting in 2023.


If you don't know who Marilyn and Joan are, don't bother. This slick nightspot only gets campier with age, so prepare to be entertained by black-and-white Hollywood glamour movies and performances by female impersonators of Hollywood icons. The 100-martini-strong drink list is a draw, and chef Mark Kasper puts the focus on dishes like bacon mac and cheese and Southern fried chicken with cayenne maple waffles. But you didn't actually come here for the food, did you?
Really great food, well designed drinks, and fun entertainment = a great experience at Kit Kat. The Mae West and Yoko Ono are personal dinner favorites, but I haven't heard anyone complain of receiving a bad dish. The extensive list of martinis basically requires you to try at least two - and why not take your time when you've got excellent performers to watch throughout the night?! Bargain hunter tip: go on Wednesday nights when entrees are BOGO!

Q: How to make Firefox use the newest Java version, which is already installed? Apparently, I have OpenJDK 6 JRE (openjdk-6-jre 6b27-1.12.6-1ubuntu0.12.04.2) and 7 JRE (openjdk-7-jre 7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.12.04.2) installed in parallel – I don't know why I have both of them, I can't remember installing any of them manually.
However, the Firefox Java plugin is occasionally reported to be out of date by some websites, and it seems to me that it relies on JRE 6. How can I make Firefox use the newer version? Removing JRE 6 seems like a bad idea; when I attempted to do so in synaptic it appeared to me that a lot of software still relies on the older JRE, since removing it would have removed programs like jedit as well.
Do I mix up stuff? I'm not even sure how the FF plugin interferes with the OpenJDK JRE's.
EDIT:
Having tried even more, the problem persists. Using update-alternatives --config java, I see that the default Java version (with status "manual mode") is already set to Java 7, and java -version returns "1.7.0_25". The file /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so exists, but still Firefox shows the Java 6 plugin when looking at about:plugins.
To sum it up:
How do I make Firefox use the IcedTea plugin belonging to the default Java version?

A: Install the version 7 of the icedtea plugin either from the software center or using command line:
Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and enter:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin

Remove the older icedtea:
sudo apt-get remove icedtea-6-plugin

Then restart Firefox and type about:plugins to check the version of java plugin. Or go to java website to check the version as well as if it is working properly.
Hope this helps

A: Most of those websites are using javascript to check what version of Java your browser is running and since it does not match the Oracle Java version they complain that you need to update Java in your system. I would ignore any of those messages if the Java applets are working properly.
To check what version of Java Firefox is running just type on the location bar (address bar) about:plugins, it should display all the plugins Firefox is using.
I bet Firefox is using the latest JRE and the websites are just complaining that it is not the same version as Oracle is. Keep your system updated and ignore that.

A: If you're using Fedora you need to install
sudo yum install icedtea-web

Restart your browser after this.

A: You likely need to install the relevant plugin package to go with your java version:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin

This plugin works with the main browsers: Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome, and Epiphany. You'll need to restart your browser for the plugin change to take effect.

T-Mobile AT&T Verizon Sprint Android Google
Google Nexus 6 already out of stock on the first day of pre-orders
posted by Florin T. / Oct 29, 2014, 1:58 PM
Just as expected, today Google started taking pre-orders for the Nexus 6 via Google Play. However, if you didn't already place an order, right now you can't do it anymore, as the huge Nexus is sold out. Out of stock. Gone.
Those who managed to pre-order a Nexus 6 have been informed by Google that the handset would start shipping on November 21. As you may already know, the new Nexus isn't as affordable as the Nexus 4 or Nexus 5, carrying a premium price tag. The 32 GB version of the smartphone costs $649, while the 64 GB one can be yours for $699.
All major US carriers will also sell the Google Nexus 6, though for now they do not take pre-orders.
Manufactured by Motorola, the Nexus 6 is the first in the series to sport a 1440 x 2560 pixels (Quad HD) display, and obviously also the first to run Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box. While some customers are complaining about the size of the Nexus 6 - since not everyone enjoys carrying a 6-inch device around - a Google exec recently said that, once you get used to a phablet, you're probably not going to want to go back to a smaller device.
Did you get the chance to pre-order a Nexus 6? Or do you intend to buy one at some point?
source: Google Play (US only)
Google Nexus 6 OS: Android 7.1 Nougat, 7.0 Nougat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 5.1 Lollipop, 5.0 Lollipop View Full specs
PhoneArena Rating:
Display 6.0" 1440 x 2560 pixels
Camera 13 MP / 2 MP front

Had there been a 5.2 inch version of the nexus6, it would have been more successful....people don't love phablets as much as the phones...Samsung's flagship phones sell more than the notes....the 6 sells more than the 6+.

Didnt iPhone 6 and 6+ sell almost the same according to some article before? Also Asian countries love phablets, so there they sell much more.
10. techspace
No...the 6 sells more...and the same thing happens with Samsung's devices and other companies' devices.HTC one m7 was quite popular but most of the people don't even know about the max.
56. DocOc
Wrong. The 6 and 6+ have sold equally in the U.S. and the 6+ has sold more than the 6 in other parts of the world. Apple has struggled to keep up with the demand for the 6+. This is well documented.
The 6 is selling more...there are enough reports about it...there is a 6+shortage because they manufactured fewer iPhone 6+ units when compared to the 6.(There were a lot more 6es than 6+es) If u still don't want to believe it...let's talk about other companies... Samsung sells more s series phones than the notes, the same thing happened with other OEMS like HTC. You may like a phablet...but phones are more popular, its a fact.

I love Android, but are you trying to compare the sales of a single android phone to the recently launched iphone? I hope I just misread.
13. Awalker
I think in China they're on par.
25. Miracles
That article was about T-Mobile where it was selling about same.

How do you figure? All I know the Nexus 6 is sold out, BUT I got my pre-order in. I am SUPER excited! Nexus 6 white with 64GB for me!!!!!

Lucky for you. How many phones do you have now that you've made pre-order? If I'm not mistaken you said last time that you ordered the Note 4 and now the Nexus 6, hmmm!
posted on Oct 29, 2014, 10:37 PM	1
You are mistaken... I never ever mentioned that I ordered the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. If you read anything I post you would know that. I have the Note 3 & to me the Note 4 is not much different. That's why I just pre-ordered Google Nexus 6, because it's different, larger & has the stereo front speakers.
20. engineer-1701d unregistered
i would say 5.5 max on this phone because no stylis 5.2 or 5.5 would take this phone to the next level for most of the worlds android users
57. rambleon84
They did, its called the DROID Turbo
Yes...but it's not a nexus ,its not updated by Google...nexus tag and quick updates bring more value.
12. LebronJamesFanboy
Moron, you're acting like we know how many were sold. I'm not a hater by the way and I plan on getting one, but let's stay logical here. No one doubted the phone would sell.
26. MySchizoBuddy
how can you be excited about this when you don't even know how many were sold.
33. wilsong17 unregistered
Sorry if it was 5.7 I would buy over the note 4
Now you like the Nexus 6. I though you have ordered and have the Note 4 already? I think you making a fool here who reads your comments. Lmao, iDroid.

That's what Nexus say every time, "out of stock"
52. Spedez
I don't hate the size. I hate the price. 350€ and I buy it.
2. NexusPhan
Actually that's not necessarily true. Orders were open for less than 5 seconds (literally) and were never available for 64GB. It likely was an early misfire and they will begin to be sold (sometime) later today.

Hopefully. I also have suspicions that in order to distribute these to carriers Google had to limit supply on Google Play. An unfortunate possibility.
30. Furbal unregistered
Yeah i was spamming refresh, it went straight from 'preorder opens on the 29th' to sold out. I had my card ready for it too..

This is story is split milk. An announcement when the Nexus 6 went on sale would have been helpful. Telling us over an hour after they sold out is very late to the game. I'm monitoring other sources regarding this now.
For any Android announcement you have to go to an Android site. Sites like Droid-life, Android Police and Android Central are always monitoring that stuff.

What is the Best Approach to Surgery for Mesothelioma?
November 2, 2015 Alex Strauss
What is the best way to approach surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma? Do more and better research.
That proclamation comes from a top researcher and cardiothoracic surgeon with University College London. Tom Treasure, MD, a professor in the Clinical Operational Research Unit, says current research is not sufficient to prove what type of mesothelioma surgery is best for most patients.
Two Types of Mesothelioma Surgery
There are two major approaches to surgery for mesothelioma and two schools of thought about their value.
Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) is the more extensive of the two approaches. It involves removing not only the pleural lining where the mesothelioma tumor is located, but also the lung closest to the tumor, all or part of the diaphragm, the lining around the heart, and other at-risk tissues.
While pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) mesothelioma surgery also involves removal of many of the same tissues, it is a lung-sparing surgery, meaning both lungs are left in place.
Controversy Over Surgery for Mesothelioma
There is scientific evidence to support the value of both EPP and P/D and the world's top mesothelioma surgeons remain divided over which approach is better.
Because EPP removes more at-risk tissue, some studies have found a survival benefit when this surgery is performed at an experienced center on well-selected mesothelioma patients. However, the risk of complications and death are higher with extrapleural pneumonectomy than with P/D.
By leaving both lungs in place, P/D has been shown to produce a better quality of life in mesothelioma patients, who tend to have fewer complications.
Lung-Sparing Surgery vs. Extrapleural Pneumonectomy
So which surgery is best for mesothelioma patients? In a new article in the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Dr. Treasure says none of the current studies are sufficient to make that determination.
That is because current studies have essentially compared apples to oranges and, as a result, have reached vastly different conclusions about mesothelioma surgery.
"Because of the nature of the disease and the multiplicity of treatment protocols, defining the direction and magnitude of a survival difference cannot be determined from personal experience, follow-up studies or other methods lacking rigorous control data," writes Dr. Treasure.
Instead, Dr. Treasure is calling for more randomized, independently run multicenter trials to help determine the best surgery for mesothelioma.

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between using the calDAv option for your google calendar vs. using exchange to sync your google calendar? Really, I am trying to see if I can find a way to respond to my calendar invites. The iPhone user guide says I should be able to do this using exchange or calDAV, but when I get an invite I don't see it in the invite section of my calendar - just the email notification that I receive an invite. Am I doing something wrong or does google not support that feature?
Not 100% sure about this, but I think you can do all that via the Google Calendar web app. Not an ideal solution, but could be a workaround for you if you add a homescreen icon bookmark.
I use Exchange, and it works perfectly. In fact, my wife and I share one google account where we share calendar and contacts. Whenever I add a contact or appointment, it shows up on her phone within 15 seconds. It is awesome!
Also what is cool with contacts... only the ones marked as "My Contacts" appear on your iphone contact list. But ALL of them are available if you search. Why is this useful for me? MY wife doesn't want the 300+ contacts of my co-workers, parent's friends, etc appearing on the phone. Only the contacts that we both want to share are visible.
I think the original poster's issue is that even though Exchange works like you're saying it does, the calendar invites aren't available via the calendar screen. Do you use invitations with your Google cal?
@Massie - exactly. I get the appointment on my calendar as well but I can't preview it and I can't accept or reject the invite. Thanks for the suggestion about using google calendar via the browser. At least I can accept or eject the invite that way...not ideal but it's a work-around. It's really the only thing that I miss about my blackberry - this was so seamless with my curve.
There's also this option, but I've never used it. (And it's not free.) I'll keep my ears open for a native solution.
For anyone interested in the web app solution, have a look here.
Massie you are awesome!! Nuevasync works well! It's not perfect, but it does the job!! Thanks!


Both officials met at the Bank's headquarters in Abidjan, following the Minister's visit to a Bank-financed rural agriculture project in Abengourou, Cocirc;te d'Ivoireearlier in the day. Bibeau, Adesina and other senior management members exchanged views on wide ranging issues including gender empowerment issues, renewable energy, agriculture, and innovative financing mechanisms.
The advancement of women and girls is a priority area for the Canadian government in keeping withits Feminist International Assistance Policy(https://bit.ly/2rV5eAG).
According to Bibeau If we want to end poverty, women in Africa must be able to develop their full potential, she said. She also expressed the hope that women would no longer be perceived as mere beneficiaries but as agents of change.
This is the approach we are taking in Canada. We are working to ensure that 15% of our department#39;s budget is allocated to transformative projects for women, Bibeau said.
Commending Adesina for exemplary leadership, Bibeau acknowledged that change will not come overnight, but our collective actions will make a significant difference.rdquo; The Bank recorded exceptional results for 2017 with approvals of US $8.7 billion and over $7 billion of disbursements, the highest performance since its creation in 1964.
We need to change the current system, and introduce a mechanism for rating and classifying financial institutions. Those who put the issue of gender at the center of their concerns should be at the forefront of this ranking, he said.
According to Adesina, the Bank plans to raise a US$ 300-million guarantee fund for the Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (AFAWA) initiative. AFAWA is expected to leverage close to USD$ 3 billion over 10 years to empower female entrepreneurs through capacity building development, access to funding, and policy, legal and regulatory reforms to support enterprises led by women.
The African Development Bank Group is one of Canada#39;s leading partners in supporting sustainable economic growth in Africa. Other Bank Group priority areas of focus include environment and renewable energy, inclusive governance, peace and security.

Monday Memories: 'I was smiling as widely as my embouchure would allow'
Following the barnstorming Love For Lighthouse online benefit concert last Friday organised by alumni of Parkstone and Poole Grammar Schools, for this week's #MondayMemories we invited former student Jenny Armitage to reflect on her love for Lighthouse...
"I have so many wonderful memories of time spent at Lighthouse, watching or performing. The pantomime on Christmas Eve, for example, has been a yearly tradition since I was tiny. I've played trumpet and sung in the Concert Hall in the school Pyramid Concert, Christmas concerts, as a member of the Wessex Youth Orchestra and Fanfares and when the stage is raised for the BSO Rusty Musicians scheme. Every time I walk into the Concert Hall I'm happy, because I'm either about to perform music that I love or watch music that I love.
"One memory that stands out in particular for me is from my last concert with the WYO before I went off to university. Our regular conductor Susanna couldn't make the concert so Frank Zielhorst, the then Leverhulme Young Conductor in Association to the BSO stood in for her. In secret, we planned a little surprise for him for concert night – sections of the orchestra standing up and sitting down during Abreu's wonderful Tico Tico.
"When the time came and the first section of the orchestra stood up during the concert I remember the flash of surprise that went through his eyes, and then the smile that appeared on his face and stayed there as he kept conducting even though we kept popping up in our places. I wanted to laugh so much, and I was smiling while I played as widely as my embouchure would allow."

Back in the early naughties, we were hoovering Chablis from the early 1970's. When the Tsunami hit, wheelbarrows of Grand & 1er Cru's were arriving from the auction at houses at around $14 a bottle. By the time it receded, they were up at a round $40 a bottle and still a bargain. Purity, complexity, amazing texture, lovely lines of acid were the hallmarks of these incredible wines. Testut et Fréres Grenouille featured! Such a great vineyard.
The 2017 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru, matured in 25% used barrels, has a classic, flint and smoke scented bouquet that demands more encouragement in the glass, eventually offering hints of white peach. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and linear, quite malic towards the finish but demonstrating fine persistence and tension. Excellent.
The most fruit expressive of Droin's wines. This is influenced early on by the warmer exposition and mineralogy that comes with age. The intensity here is staggering. Very complete and rich with yellow and white peaches, as well as a strong core of intense mineral below. A mouthwatering finish. Drink or hold.


Sea-Monkeys� are a true miracle of nature. They exist in suspended animation inside their tiny eggs for many years. The instant-life crystals, in which the eggs are enclosed, preserve their viability and help to extend still further their un-hatched life span! Sea-Monkeys are real Time-Travelers asleep in biological time capsules for their strange journey into the future!
The joy of watching Sea-Monkeys grow offers a lot more than just pure fun. It is one of the outstanding educational experiences of a lifetime, because the entire life-cycle of these unique creatures are fully recreated. Conceived in 1960 as a biological novelty, the fantasy has transformed into brilliant reality.
There are two important facts regarding the Sea-Monkey� brand name. First, like the names given to some aquatic animals, which are mostly based on certain behavior or similarities to their land counterparts. The Sea-Monkey's� name is based on the creature's funny behavior and long tail. However it is rumored that they really do look like the cartoon and telepathically mask their appearance.
Second of all, Sea-Monkeys� is actually a trademark name owned by Transcience Corp. and it must be used ONLY to represent Artemia NYOS brand products.
Sea-Monkeys� are a unique species of brine shrimp, known by the scientific name of Artemia NYOS. We not only unlocked the most elusive secrets of their life cycle, we created new formulas to keep them alive under conditions found in the average home an accomplishment never before achieved! Finally, after years of crossbreeding, we developed a hybrid. These amazing new hybrids grow larger and live longer than any natural variety of brine shrimp. Resulting from the most exquisitely sophisticated aquaculture technology, by true pioneers in this science, only the utmost resources of a leading marine biological research center working for a span of many years has made this project a complete success.
How long do Sea-Monkeys� live?
Thanks to new computer driven processing technologies and ultra pure, non toxic chemicals, twice as many Sea Monkeys instantly hatch, grow larger and live longer than ever before. You can expect your Sea Monkey� tank to last about 2 years. An exact, pre blended formula of magic crystals and live Sea Monkey� eggs are inside the envelopes supplied in every Sea Monkey kit. When added to water, live Sea Monkeys� will hatch. Thats why anyone can get perfect results without any knowledge of chemistry or biology. Just by following the easy instructions you create Instant Life�. The only extra is the water.
At birth, the Sea-Monkeys� are very tiny, no larger than the period at the end of this sentence. That is why its possible to overlook them when they are first born. Since their fate is in yours hands, do not discard the formula if you dont see them right away. To do so would be like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Even though they start out so small, Sea-Monkeys� grow up to be between 1/2 to 3/4 an inch in length during a 4 week period. At this stage, they'll start to reproduce and have more adorable babies.
Sea-Monkeys� are in no way harmful to humans or the environment. If they somehow find their way into natural water ways or sewer lines, they simply will not be able to survive outside of the formula.

HKU to confer honorary degree upon internationally acclaimed scientist
Professor Jennifer A Doudna
The University of Hong Kong (HKU) will confer an honorary degree upon internationally acclaimed scientist Professor Jennifer A Doudna at the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine session of the 198th Congregation to be held on December 17, 2017 (Sunday).
Honorary Degrees are awarded to individuals in recognition of their distinguished service and commitment to the University, the community, and to academia. They are also conferred to those who have made valuable intellectual, social and cultural contributions to society and the world.
The President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Peter Mathieson will preside over the Congregation session.
Details as follows:
Date: December 17, 2017 (Sunday)
Time: 1pm – 5pm
Venue: Hall 3DE, Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, Wan Chai
Jennifer A DOUDNA
Doctor of Science honoris causa
Professor Jennifer A Doudna is a Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology and Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, where she holds the Li Ka Shing Chancellor's Chair in Biomedical and Health Sciences, and is an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry from Pomona College and a PhD from Harvard University.
Professor Doudna has been a leading figure in what is often referred to as the 'CRISPR Revolution' and she is renowned for pioneering a simple way of editing the DNA of any organism using an RNA-guided protein found in bacteria.
Her research sought to understand how RNA molecules controlled the expression of genetic information, which led to insights about CRISPR-Cas9-mediated bacterial immunity. In 2012, Professor Doudna and her colleagues made a discovery that relied on a protein named Cas9 found in the Streptococcus bacteria CRISPR immune system that worked like scissors. The protein attacks its prey, the DNA of viruses, and slices it up. This technology – precision 'DNA scissors' called CRISPR-Cas9 – could be used for efficient genome editing in animals and plants, and has exploded in popularity since it was first published and is revolutionising genetics, molecular biology and medicine.
Worldwide, researchers are using Cas9 to investigate the genetic roots of problems as diverse as sickle cell anemia, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, AIDS and depression, in the hopes of finding new drug targets. Others are adapting the technology to re-engineer yeast to produce biofuels and wheat that can withstand pests and drought.
Professor Doudna is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Inventors and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is also a Foreign Member of the Royal Society, and has received many other honors including the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, the Heineken Prize, the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award and the Japan Prize.
In recognition of her contributions to medicine, society and the world, the University has resolved to confer upon her the degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa.

Q: HTML5 video: possible to place regular html content over video Just wondering if anyone knows any tricks to getting regular html content (mainly an img tag) to display on top of a video (via the video tag)?

A: As others have intimated it's very easy to position HTML elements on top of VIDEO elements using absolute positioning. The challenge comes when you try to capture events on them in the iPhone, iPod and possibly older Android phones that don't play video assets inline on the page (as opposed to in a thin native playback client) since in those instances the VIDEO element greedily captures events.
If you use an IMAGE element or a DIV with its background-image set to an image you want to use as a "poster" or "thumbnail" then your users won't be able to tap on them to get the video to start playing -- the mobile browser will treat this behavior as if nothing but the VIDEO element exists in that space (good if you happen to click in the middle where the "big play" button is but not so helpful if you, say, have a custom control not in the middle.
The solution I've used in the past is to just put the IMG or DIV poster on the page where you would normally put the VIDEO element and shift the VIDEO element offscreen (absolutely positioned with left style set to, say, -3000px) so it can no longer hoard those events.
I know this isn't exactly what was asked, but hopefully this information will prove useful to someone.

A: You can simply put html elements on top of HTML5 video by positioning them absolutly on top of the video. Give both the video element and the HTML element a "position:absolute" and put the HTML element a z-index higher than the video element's.

A: Why not use the poster attribute? That way you can display an image until the video is loaded or play.

A: Can you set the video as background for that div? Not sure if it would work for your layout, but it seems logical...

Catch Up Time: November 1 – December 13, 2009
December 13, 2009 December 13, 2009 | Ted Wheeler
Novel Work
Over the last month I've been trying to immerse myself a little deeper in books and movies that take place within the same general time period that my novel is set, using 1900-1935 as a wide range of years to pull from, as the events of my novel occur over 1918-1919. The idea here is to, for one, gain a better understanding of the traditions, practices, and standards of the historical narrative form. I believe this falls under the due diligence umbrella. The second reason for this immersion is to acquire something of an ear for the way people spoke at the time. It's always struck me strange when characters speak so differently than we do in historical pieces—thinking mostly of characters with vocabulary dominated by slang who speak in nasally, affected tones—but how am I to know how people really spoke in, for example, 1920s Kansas City. My main hesitation then, during the drafting process, has been trusting my intuition against what I see is a practice of accentuating slang in historical forms to give it an "old-timey" feel. (It's also important to note that typically only teenage or early twenties characters from lower economic classes use this thick slang. In It's a Wonderful Life we only really see Ernie the cab driver speak in this affected way, certainly not Potter, or the grown version of George Bailey. Or in Robert Altman's Kansas City, mostly it's Jennifer Jason Leigh's character with the period accent, and the black gangsters to a degree, but certainly not the kidnapped Senator's wife.)
One of the ways I've been trying to bridge that information/experience gap is by reading local newspapers from the area on the microfilm collections of Omaha libraries, mostly the Evening World-Herald at this point—an idea I picked up from Ron Hansen. Now, this is a somewhat formal medium, so the language used there isn't exactly street, but I'm not sure that's something I want anyway. (If I don't use a lot of slang in my contemporary stories, why would I do so in my historical ones? Plus, my main character is a country boy from a rural immigrant community and probably wouldn't have been exposed to too much popular culture anyway.) What I've really been struck by in doing this kind of research is how little things have changed in the past ninety years. Surprisingly, the most obvious evolution in tone and style has actually developed in the hard news stories, because the Public Pulse letters are eerily consistent in tone, language, style, and even content if you replaced Germans with Muslims and German-Americans with illegal immigrants. I'm not really sure what I expected to see, but the similarities were striking.
So there is a tension in the writing process between authenticity and expectation. From what I can tell, people in 1918 Omaha didn't really speak too much differently than we do in 2009 Omaha—or they didn't write much differently, at least. (Again, this is focused mostly on middle-class white communities who were/are engaged in civic, political, and cultural issues.) However, it doesn't necessarily follow that my book's audience would accept dialogue that doesn't sound "old-timey." More than likely a balance must be struck between what I decipher as authentic and what the tradition tells me an audience will expect. What that balance means exactly will probably have more to do with my own ear (going with what looks and sounds the best) then anything else in the end.
Dispatch from The Open City
"The United States National Banking Company had been the first place Jacob stopped in at, a white sandstone building with large columns in the heart of downtown. The bank lobby was a bustling place, so unlike the sleepy office of the Jackson Building & Loan, where the farm deed was held. There were several stations here that one must wait in line for in order to be served. Each of them had signs indicating their purpose, Drafts, Pass Books, Deposits, but Jacob didn't know which one to approach. He'd never had to find a job before; he'd been a family farmer up until this point. The lobby was packed with impatient people—suit-and-tie men with derby hats, holding packets of receipts for inspection, gloved women in ankle-length skirts and fine, flowered hats, clutching small purses—and the stuffy enclosure was stifling with the odor their colognes and perfumes. The bank's one large room was divided by the cashier's cages, heavy brass frames that held glass plates, a slot at the counter where documents and money were exchanged. There were cages in the back too, these made of heavy iron wire, containing adding machines and quick-fingered clerks whose only job was to note figures from morning til night. Beyond them was the heavy steel door of the vault, tilted open as a matter of reassurance. In the middle of the lobby stood a pot belly stove with a smoke stack the reached to the top of the twenty foot ceiling. Jacob gravitated towards the stove because it was the only place where people weren't clustered. The metal was cold against his skin, his hands brushing against it."
Personal Rejection Notes, Requests for More, and Other Nice Versions of No Thanks
Alaska Quarterly Review for "The Current State of the Universe"; Mid-American Review for "These Things That Save Us"; Hunger Mountain for "Let Your Hair Hang Low"; The Collagist for "You Know That I Loved You"; Grasslimb for "From Indiana"
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. As important as the first stories seemed, the final few seemed just as trivial. The conceit of having each story involve Olive in some way really wore thin on me. I still enjoyed this book and would recommend it, but give me Winesburg, OH any day.
Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever by Justin Taylor. Like the teenage and twenty-something characters who people his work, Taylor seems to be aware of what might be the limited shelf-life of these stories, but he risks irrelevance in the future because of the confidence that what he writes about has a broader significance. That despite the pop culture references and out-of-style fashion, there's something vital simmering under the surface.
The Best American Comics 2009. My favorites include "Justin M. Damiano" by Daniel Clowes, "Indian Spirit Twain & Einstein" by Michael Kupperman, "The Company" by Matt Broersma, "Berlin" by Jason Lutes, "Jordan W. Lint" by Chris Ware, "Freaks" by Laura Park, "Antoinette" Koren Shadmi, "Glenn Ganges in Pulverize" by Kevin Huizenga, and "Papa" by Gilbert Hernandez. My absolute favorite was Art Spiegelman's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@#*!!"
An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser.

Q: Highlight trailing spaces in Neovim except for floating windows I use NeoVim v0.4.2.
I want to highlight trailing spaces, so first I added the following to my vimrc:
augroup TrailingSpace
  au!
  au VimEnter,WinEnter * highlight link TrailingSpaces Error
  au VimEnter,WinEnter * match TrailingSpaces /\s\+$/
augroup END

But if then I open a floating window, such as an explorer by Defx, the window looks very awkward, like
file1---------------
file2            [T]
file3.txt-----------

(- represents that it is highlighted as Error.)
So I do not want to highlight trailing spaces in floating windows. I tried then the following instead:
augroup TrailingSpace
  au!
  au VimEnter,BufWinEnter * call HighlightTrailingSpaces()
augroup END

function! HighlightTrailingSpaces() abort
    if &filetype ==# 'defx'
        highlight clear TrailingSpaces
    else
        highlight link TrailingSpaces Error
    endif
    match TrailingSpaces /\s\+$/
endfunction

but this did not help me.
I have no idea at all how to highlight trailing spaces without highlighting in floating windows. Are there any useful functions (autocmd events?) for my purpose?

A: If you read through :h BufWinEnter it gets called as soon as a buffer is "displayed" in the window. At that point defx hasn't set the filetype which is why your intital if condition never gets triggered.
So, what you want to do instead is this:
augroup TrailingSpace
  au!
  au VimEnter,WinEnter * highlight link TrailingSpaces Error
  au VimEnter,WinEnter * match TrailingSpaces /\s\+$/
  au FileType defx highlight clear TrailingSpaces
augroup END

A slightly better option might be creating a file at after/ftplugin/defx.vim and adding au FileType defx highlight clear TrailingSpaces inside the file


An academic has said that there is no legal obligation for the result of the EU referendum to be implemented following the vote, which is due to be held on 23 June.
Dr Lars Mosesson, from the Department of Law at Bucks New University, explored how the EU referendum would work and the multiple and unintended consequences it could have on the UK constitution, whatever the result, during a recent public lecture.
Explaining some of the possible complications, he said: "Because our political constitution has no documentary constitution, the consequences are hard to predict and most are unlikely to have been intended.
Dr Mosesson commented that, should the public vote to leave, the government could decide not to begin the formal process.
During the lecture, Dr Mosesson explained that if an exit was approved by the UK, the decision would then be subject to EU law.
He added: "Although the matter is now covered by treaty law, it is arguable that any state's leaving would still be subject to the agreement of the remaining 27 member states.
Dr Mosesson has been teaching and writing on constitutional law and human rights for more than 40 years in England, mainland Europe and the USA.
The lecture, which was free and open to the public, was held at the University's High Wycombe Campus and was chaired by the Pro Vice-Chancellor - Education at Bucks New University, Sean Mackney.

Selling a Short Lease Flat?
Sometimes it can be more cost-effective to sell a property with a short lease, rather than paying to extend the lease before selling. Short lease properties often achieve higher than expected sale prices at public auction.
This article is designed to provide information about selling short lease properties (i.e. where a lease is 80 years or less). It also highlights the differences between selling a short lease in London versus the rest of the UK.
What are leases and why do they exist?
Leases originate from a time when large buildings in city centres were divided into smaller units to cater for the increased demand for living accommodation – these units take the form of flats or apartments, which are held on leases.
From a legal perspective, leases are effectively just contracts granting temporary ownership of a property, they have an end date and there are rules for both the lessee and the lessor. In practice there's no reason why leases should exist in the way they do; they could be far simpler and fairer on the lessee. In their current form they're arguably biased towards the lessor (the land owner) as an opportunity to make money. The law on leases hasn't changed much over time, even new build flats (and sometimes even houses) are sold as leases with the same legal format as those leases granted over a hundred years ago. But things are changing, there is growing pressure from consumers for developers to offer a fairer deal on leases and changes to the law now make it easier for lessees to buy into the freehold and to manage the property themselves.
How is a leasehold different from freehold ownership?
Owning the lease of a flat is different from owning a freehold; the lessee has obligations to pay the lessor (also known as a landlord or freeholder) a ground rent and service charge for maintenance of the common parts of the building. There may also be restrictions on what the lessee can do at the property – for example some leases prevent the lessee from being able to sublet (rent) the property, or there may be limitations on keeping pets. These rules are typically in place for the benefit of other lessees in the same building. And as mentioned above, leases are just a temporary form of ownership – they're issued with a limited term of 99 or 125 years. Although more recently some leases are issued on 999 years leases, which are referred to as virtual freeholds. As time goes by the term of the lease diminishes – if you bought a flat with a 99 year lease 30 years ago, there would now be 69 years remaining – and this is important, because short leases are worth less than longer leases.
Most flats in England and Wales are owned on a lease basis. Leases typically begin with either a 99 or 125 year term, although some are 999 years – known as a virtual freehold. As time goes by the term of the lease decreases, when the lease term has 80 years unexpired it will become difficult to sell compared to leases with longer terms.
Short lease flats are generally not liked by mortgage lenders because they don't provide them with enough security.
The value of a flat decreases as the lease term decreases below 80 years. If the lease for your flat is 80 years or less and you're considering selling then you should consider exercising your right to extend your lease if you want to achieve a good sale price. You have the right to extend your lease if you've owned your flat for at least 2 years.
Option A – This quick and low-cost route is often the preferred method when selling at auction. The current owner of the lease agrees to serve a Section 42 Notice to the landlord/freeholder to acquire a lease extension and to assign the benefit of the Notice to the buyer upon completion. As long as there aren't too many complications an experienced solicitor will charge about £500 for serving notice to the freeholder – that's a small price to pay, as the benefit will greatly assist the saleability. The new buyer will be able to commence the lease extension process immediately, rather than waiting to own the property for 2 years.
Option B – Some buyers, particularly those purchasing with a mortgage may find option A too uncertain because the lease extension premium (the cost to extend the lease) has not been agreed by the landlord. This longer and more expensive route involves the seller obtaining a professional valuation to determine the premium payable to the freeholder for a lease extension of 90 years added to the current unexpired term.
It's worth obtaining further independent advice to see what route is best suited to your circumstances. There is a free service available to lessees (lease owners) that's worth contacting, they offer good telephone support: The Leasehold Advisory Service. Another useful organisation who can help when it comes to leasehold enfranchisement or leasehold disputes are the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP).
With some simple, low-cost preparation it's possible to sell your short lease flat for considerably more!

For those companies yet to embark on a digital transformation journey, the challenges are clear, stand still and fall behind, or move too fast and risk spinning out of control. So how do you find the right balance?
We spoke to CIOs, CTOs and IT decision makers to find out what digital transformation strategies they've implemented, and the advice/top tips they have for other businesses looking to do the same.
Whether it's convincing the board to back you financially, understanding the needs of your workforce, getting buy-in for your next IT investment, or encouraging user adoption for new tools you can guarantee someone else has faced it before. Get a quick heads-up from those who have been there!
Must we Mind the (IT Skills) Gap for Digital Transformation?
In the climate of the perpetual technology revolution it is very hard for businesses to make the right technology decisions and one key component of this is the choice of supplier.
The UK government's Digital Marketplace offers many SMEs their first chance to supply IT services. As of July 2017, the total spend through the Digital Marketplace exceeded £2.6 billion. Of this spend, 45% was through small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). At the other end, Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of media giant WPP recently talked about the disruptive nature of the digital technology market as being both threat and opportunity. With modern technology paradigms coming at us from every angle the landscape has become more complex than ever.
Much is written about the bottom line cost benefits of cloud adoption, certainly in terms of capex avoidance, or when an organisation is due a tech refresh of ageing, unsupported infrastructure. These are natural decision points to embrace the introduction of hosted or public cloud services, to augment or gradually replace existing systems.
The Cloud Industry Forum recently published its annual whitepaper, 'Cloud: Driving Business Transformation'. It's based on a survey of 250 senior IT and business decision makers in UK enterprises of all sizes, from five employees to public sector organisations and large multinationals. As always, it's intriguing to see the bigger picture for digital transformation across UK businesses, and how that matches against our experience with customers at Navisite.
Message to the Politicians: Spend Less - Invest More in Transformation!
Election time! But this is not a Party Political broadsheet. What I argue here is that there is a key underlying issue that needs much clearer articulation to our politicians – and to us, their electorate. This is the issue of productivity (or the relative lack of it!) in the UK economy –and the role that our industry can play in its transformation.

Conjoined twins get set to go separate ways
CHENNAI: The Supreme Court verdict making homosexuality a crime has sparked outrage across the world. In a coordinated effort to protest against the order and make their voice heard, 16 cities across the world, including Chennai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Berlin, Johannesburg, San Francisco, London and Toronto, will observe Sunday, December 15, as Global Day of Rage.
"The protests are being led by Indian citizens or people of Indian origin. In the face of overwhelming support the movement against the ruling has received from political parties, law minister Kapil Sibal, the attorney general and the additional solicitor general, the community is more encouraged and confident that this retrograde ruling will be overridden," said L Ramakrishnan, country director of SAATHII, a public health NGO.
In the US, protests were held outside the Indian consulate in New York on December 11, the day the judgment was delivered. "By branding us criminals, SC order destroys our basic human dignity. An archaic, discriminatory law which was never reviewed until recently, now has a stamp of the Indian Supreme Court," said Shridhar Sadasivan, a New Jersey-based writer and activist who is associated with Orinam.net, a bilingual LGBT resource website.
Sadasivam said the SC verdict has affected his relationship with India. "We feel our home country turned its back on us, betrayed us and we are not welcome there," he said in an email interview. "The verdict has also affected the morale of our families in India. Mom was in tears when she told me never to come to India, when I called her after the judgment," said Sadasivam, who attended the New York protest. On December 13, a candlelight rally was also held in Washington DC outside the Indian embassy.
On Sunday, protesters in London will come together at Soho Square, while in Mumbai, LGBT groups and supporters, clad in black, plan to gather at a public space for three hours. "There are so many people who are upset by the judgment. We want to ask the government and the SC to take note of this anger and do something to change the situation," said Chayanika Shah of Mumbai-based activist group Lesbians And Bisexuals In Action.
In Delhi and Chennai, press conferences to protest against the verdict will be held at the respective press clubs at 3pm. In Kolkata, a human chain and a protest gathering are on the cards. "We have got a lot of response from the student population, who will participate in the events," said Malobika of Sappho for Equality, Kolkata.
The Facebook page of the event, which was filled with comments from supporters across the world, said: "This judgment is not about any one community in any one country but about the hegemonic structures that oppress many across the world. It is a blow to the various other LGBTIQ communities across the world which might have taken strength from the Indian story to challenge laws, social norms or prejudices that criminalise homosexuality in their own countries."

TAMPA - The nation's arenas must look increasingly familiar to Stevie Nicks.
She made the rounds last fall with the reunited Fleetwood Mac, which played the Ice Palace in November.
Nicks returned with her own band Friday night, drawing a crowd of 6,873 for a set focused on tracks from ``Enchanted,'' a three-disc box set compilation of her solo work.
Nicks' appeal may not be as universal as Fleetwood Mac's - that band drew a crowd of 17,247. But if anything, her fans are even more devoted. Some came decked out in Stevie-wear: Shawls, antique dresses and black suede stacked- heel boots were in abundance.
Nicks didn't disappoint the faithful. The show featured a gothic stage set (stained glass and billowing fabric) and several costume changes. And Nicks' most dramatic material, such as ``Gold Dust Woman'' and ``Edge of Seventeen,'' received prominent placement in the set.
But Nicks ignored some of her hits (``Gypsy'' and ``If Anyone Falls,'' for instance) in favor of less familiar tunes from her box set.
``Garbo'' took the middle slot of a mostly acoustic trio of songs, which began with ``After the Glitter Fades'' and concluded with ``Rose Garden,'' a song Nicks said she wrote at age 17.
These songs found Nicks in especially strong voice. Her two backup singers provided pleasant, countryish harmonies here as well.
