I have been creating this new addon for blender 2.8. Basic idea with this addon is that you select nodes and then save them as a preset for future use. All custom settings for nodes are also stored.
Now you can create custom folders for your presets.
Now addon supports world + compositing nodes.
Selecting frames is now supported.
Added support for groups nodes and frames.
great idea ! thanks for this !
This will greatly facilitate the work of organizing nodes. Thank you.
You wanted to say "nodes" because it's more useful to select every nodes you want to save and no all automatiquely, no?
I made the video how to use this addon.
Also I put this on sale.
Are the values in nodes also stored? For example values in colorramps, and in Mix RGB: multiply instead of the default "Mix"?
Right now nodes are created with their default setting but this feature is in my todo list.
Now nodes settings are also saved. Color ramps, texture data, etc. all there.
Wow that is fast. A big thank you!
Normal and separateXYZ node gave an error. Now it's fixed.
Now empty frames inside of frames are also stored.
Now user can create custom folders for presets.

Stalking is a serious crime that can lead to harsh penalties under the law, especially in Colorado. If you are found guilty of stalking and it has a domestic violence enhancement, then you could have a long legal battle in front of you.
What is stalking in Colorado? What penalties can you face? When is a domestic violence enhancement added? Read on to find out more about the crime of stalking in Colorado and how it ties in with domestic violence crimes, then how to best defend yourself against these types of charges.
What Is Stalking in Colorado?
Under Colorado law, stalking is a felony. It is defined as behavior that is predatory, involving more than simply bothering someone else.
Vonnie's Law in Colorado requires two things to be met in order to charge someone with stalking. They have to first be a credible threat to another person and then also repeat the stalking behavior that puts another person in reasonable fear or emotional distress.
In the state, actions that are not considered stalking include:
Making a threat one time
Making a threat that isn't credible
The threat was not against the person or their family or partner
Anyone else would reasonably not been distressed or frightened by the behavior
The person that accuses you of stalking was not actually in distress or frightened
The types of behavior that do line up with stalking, aside from credible threats made to another, are actions like repeatedly following, contacting, surveilling, or communicating with a person or their family or partner in a way that causes them emotional distress.
What Is a Credible Threat?
Credible threats are made in certain ways. They can be done in person or through:
Typed or written letters
The stalking laws in Colorado apply to any victim, even if they're a well-known public person or private citizen. The credible threats listed above as an element of stalking are illegal no matter where they happen, whether it be in a workplace or in private – at home or in public.
Penalties for Stalking in Colorado
Stalking is a felony in Colorado, because it is considered a crime of extraordinary risk. The level of felony depends on how many times someone has been previously convicted of stalking.
First Offense
Anyone convicted of stalking for the first time faces a Class 5 felony. The penalties for this level include:
Up to four years in prison with a mandatory parole period of two years after the release
As much as $100,000 in fines
Second Offense
If a person is convicted of stalking for a second time within seven years of their first conviction, then it's considered a Class 4 felony. That is punishable by:
Up to eight years in prison with a mandatory parole period of three years
Fines for as much as $500,000
When Is Stalking Domestic Violence in Colorado?
Stalking can also carry with it a domestic violence enhancement for harassment if the stalking behaviors are perpetrated against a spouse or ex-spouse, anyone with whom you share a child, or someone with whom you've had or currently have a romantic relationship.
In addition to any penalties associated with stalking, domestic violence harassment is another misdemeanor charge that can lead to six additional months in jail. It also can subject the perpetrator to a protection order, which can lead to further penalties if it is violated.
If someone violates a protective order by stalking someone else, then it's considered a Class 4 felony even if it's a first offense. That can lead to up to eight years in prison and fines of as much as $500,000.
Defenses to Stalking
Proving stalking in court can be quite difficult, which is where the help of an experienced defense attorney comes into play. It's possible that the victim simply misunderstood the intentions of the person accused of stalking.
While the best defense for each case depends on individual circumstances and facts, the most common defenses used against allegations of stalking include:
No credible threat was made
The defendant was exaggerating in the moment for effect
The threat made was too elaborate for any reasonable person to take as genuine
There was no serious emotional distress suffered by the victim
The victim was not contacted multiple times, but only once, which doesn't qualify as a behavior associated with stalking
The victim was contacted more than once, but there was no threat issued
If you are found guilty of stalking, it can impact so many areas of your life. So make sure if you are charged, you mount the best defense possible.

Freixenet Cava Factory Tour
When I was growing up in Philadelphia, my parents would sometimes buy Champagne to celebrate New Year's. Even though it's been way over 20 years, I can remember that they'd buy Freixenet.
Oh, and, by the way, "Champagne" is called Cava in Catalunya (and Sparkling Wine in California). At the time, I didn't know the difference; it was all Champagne...
So, anyway, the Freixenet Cava factory is only about a 45-minute train ride from Barcelona. Time for a visit!
There's a whole wine-and-Cava growing region just outside the city with many different places you can visit. Codorniu, which I went to a few years ago, and Freixenet are located near the village of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia. Both offer similar tours where they teach you about Cava and walk you through some of the storage and production areas. Although the Codorniu buildings are more beautiful, the Freixenet's underground storage areas are also very cool.
I got lucky as my tour was in English. Score! The guide did a good job explaining the different types of grapes and Cavas. I think I know enough now that I have some reference and can actually absorb the information.
This time I learned the difference between the sugar content of the various Cavas and Champagnes. Not that sweeter is better or worse but only Brut Nature has no added sugar, which I often prefer because it's dryer. I never really knew why until now.
It was pretty late in the day when I did the tour and the production and distribution facilities were closed (although I'm really not sure if they're ever included on the tour). We did get to see some old production methods and equipment in one of the underground rooms.
A barrel-storage area on our way to the tram for our ride back up to street level:
Freixenet and Codorniu have similar offerings and prices. Freixenet wins for their tasting/tapas bar and convenience (right next to the train station) but, like I said, Codorniu's Cadafalch-designed building wins for beauty.
There's also a bunch of other wineries and tasting rooms around Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, which I haven't yet visited. When you come to see us, you could easily do both factory tours in the same day. Hint hint!

Casa Lleo Morera
Just up from Plaza Catalunya, on Passeig de Gracia, is a block called la Manzana de la Discordia (literally the "apple of discord" but meaning something like "the mismatched block") where there are several Modernist buildings. The most famous of which is Casa Batllo and next door to that is the lesser-known but also beautiful Casa Amatller. At the other end of the block is the Casa Lleo i Morera, which was just renovated and opened to the public not too long ago. Again, using our local's 50% off coupons (got love that stuff), we went for a guided tour.
It's a bit hard to tell in this photo but the building's facade is full of sculptures of things like dragons, flowers, and even high-tech items of the day such as the camera, the phonograph, and the telephone. If they did the building today, they'd probably only have to have a sculpture of a smartphone.
It's been a while since I've written a story about a particular house or building but this one merits it. Like its neighbors, the house started out as an older, much plainer building. Remodeled in 1902 by Lluis Domenech i Montaner, who also did the incredibly-ornate Hospital Sant Pau, the Hotel España, and the even-more-incredibly-ornate Palau de la Musica Catalana (yes, there's a theme here), the house is, well, pretty amazing.
At street level looking in the front door.
Domenech i Montaner was chosen by Francesca Morera i Ortiz to redo the house after she inherited it from her uncle. Unfortunately she died and her son Albert Lleo i Morera, who was not only a doctor but a researcher and inventor, added his touches and lived in the house with his family.
A sitting room and, through the doors, a larger living-style room.
Situated at the corner of two streets, the house's first floor wall is all glass, which allowed both lots of light in as well as the family to be (well) seen from outside. The local term for the floor above street level is "la planta noble", or the noble level (or floor). The Lleo i Morera clan were certainly living large.
The royal view out towards Passeig de Gracia and the cross street, Consel de Cent.
Probably the most surprising feature is the Eusebi Arnau designed sculptures depicting "The Nurse of the Child King", which is a Catalan children's story. It's, if I remember correctly, about a nurse who cares for the prince but wakes up to find him dead. She then does several things to gain God's favor so he'd help her. Depending on the version being told, the prince either ends up alive or dead. Lleo i Morero chose this theme to honor his second child who died not long after birth.
The reception area of the house where you can see the nurse and the prince:
At the other, more-private end of the house is another of the highlights, a stained glass atrium and sitting area. Beyond the glass wall is a large outdoor patio.
As we were just about to head out, the guide pointed out a section of wall where the tile mural had been left unfinished due to a large piece of furniture blocking access. If you look at the photo below, you'll see blue-and-white tiles just above the wood-paneled wall. It's really not that big of a deal but it reminded me that, no matter what job you're doing, it's the details that really matter. After all these years, what's noticeable is the tiny part the artist didn't finish...
Oh, and Diana pointed out that the repair job was a bit Ecce Homo. I loved the analogy and am laughing even now while writing this. Remember kids, details.
I'm constantly amazed at how many things there are still to see in such a relatively small city. If you haven't been here yet, get on it!
Modernist-Era Bar Crawl
Like most cities, Barcelona is divided into a bunch of different neighborhoods (districts), each of which developed at some point during the city's approximately 2000 year history. There are newer, semi-suburban areas like Vall d'Hebron. Places that used to be different towns, like Gracia. And many more. Each has its own feel and, for many, a typical architectural style that matches when they were built up.
Probably the most iconic areas are the old city (Ciutat Vella), which dates from even before Roman times, and the Eixample, which grew during the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition era. The Eixample in particular is known for its many Modernist-style buildings, which include famous building like Casa Batllo and La Pedrera among thousands more. (Oh, and in case you haven't been here or aren't familiar, Modernism is what Art Nouveau is called in Barcelona.)
One district that's not as well known for Modernist-era buildings is the Raval. This neighborhood developed just outside (or, to the left of) Barcelona's second, "newer" city wall, which ran down where La Rambla is today between the older Gothic and newer Poble Sec neighborhoods.
So when we recently found a Friday night Modernist tour and Raval bar crawl in a locals-only discount pack, we couldn't resist.
The Raval has always been working-class and, more recently, a bit hippy/artsy. It was (is?) known as Barcelona's red-light district complete with bordellos, sketchy drinking establishments, dance halls like La Paloma below, and other places you'd prefer your teenage daughter not go.
Many of these businesses developed as people began to have the time and money to eat and drink outside the house. Stuff we take for granted, such as restaurants and bars, didn't become "a thing" until the mid-1800s. The nearby Rambla and Passeig de Gracia are probably the best examples of this societal change in Barcelona.
Even today, I'd venture a guess that the vast majority of Barcelona natives rarely go to the Raval. It's still has a somewhat-bad reputation and remains, well, let's say, a bit "rough". One of our stops was at the Bar Mariella, which is located right in the mix of what gives the Raval its reputation. An old artist-and-absinthe place, it bills itself as the oldest continuously-operating bar in Barcelona.
Like pretty much every other bar in Europe, Hemingway used to hang out here (that guy got around!) as did a bunch of other famous folks in their day. Who knows if that was/is the case, but today it seems to be mostly drunken students and tourists. It's intentionally un-renovated complete with peeling paint, black sticky muck on the "decorative" liquor bottles, and a flavor you can, umm, taste when you walk through the door.
The tour included a drink of our choice at the last bar we visited, the London Bar, which is just up from Palau Guell. I, of course, opted for the absinthe, which included getting to watch the dramatic preparation process.
Absinthe, if you haven't had one, is something like a flaming Jagermeister. Here's a video of the preparation:
Even after living in Barcelona this long, I am still learning so much about the city's history, which our excellent guide brought to life. Now, onto the next tour!

Mahashivratri Celebrations By Brahma Kumaris At Gyansarovar
Posted on March 6, 2022 By BK
Mount Abu ( Rajasthan ): The Brahma Kumaris celebrated Mahashivratri in a grand way at Gyansarovar premises. The whole campus was decorated beautifully with flags and lights.
BK Jayanti, Additional Chief of Brahma Kumaris, while speaking on this occasion said that if we offer our negative tendencies to God, our life can progress towards Divinity. On this day, we should get power from God. She held a five minute Rajayoga Session for the peace of souls who are caught in the war zone currently.
BK Dr Nirmala, Joint Chief of Brahma Kumaris and Director of Gyansarovar, said that the Supreme Soul takes human birth for the benefit of man. It tells man the way to true knowledge and establishes right religion through Rajayoga.
BK Shashi, Joint Chief of Brahma Kumaris, said that elevated thoughts can make an ordinary life great. A life of spiritual penance becomes an example for others.
BK Karuna, Multi Media Head of Brahma Kumaris, said that the Supreme Soul is the benefactor of all. Letting go of our petty ego is the key to a happy life. Sacrifice, Penance and selfless service gives the message of humanity to men.
BK Meera from Malaysia, BK Sheilu, BK Surya also expressed their good wishes on this occasion.
Other guests from foreign countries also shared the stage at this program and pledged to take the Godly message all over the world.


Why walking in the wilderness is just so darn good for you!
Walking is no longer seen as a 'soft option' for physical and mental fitness – for many it's the BEST option, so when you go on a Life's An Adventure guided walk you're doing so much good stuff to your body and you don't even know it!
Let's face it, we're stuck to our phones as if they're an extra part of our body. It's no one's fault. Phones are good. But it's also good to put them away. And when you're out in the bush with no reception or WiFi you might as well chuck them in your day pack and look at the world through your own eyes again and not a tiny screen.
Being in your own head to process your thoughts – and yep, daydream – is totally underrated! A long, slow walk in the wilderness is the perfect occasional to just think – think about anything, think about your life, your loved one..your dreams. At the end of walk you may just have the clarity you're looking for.
Being in the bush will allow you to socialise with your fellow walkers. Even if you don't know them you've already got one thing in common – Life's An Adventure! Walking, talking – and listening – go hand in hand in hand. You never know, by the time you've completed your Life's An Adventure walk you may have a found friend for life.
Remember as a kid climbing trees, laying in the grass, running around field? And then you grew up… Get back into the wilderness and reclaim your youth. It doesn't matter if you're seven, seventeen or seventy, being in nature is relaxing, reinvigorating and inspiring.
Like all muscles, the heart's fitness will improve the more you use it, allowing it to pump blood around your body with increased efficiency. A study in 2001 suggested that one hour of brisk walking a week will greatly decrease the chance of heart disease.
A combination of walking and glucosamine sulphate supplements has been shown to improve physical function and reduce pain in one study, while another suggests that light exercise might help prevent osteoarthritis through weight loss.
Exercise causes our bodies to release endorphins and serotonin, which helps regulate our moods, appetite and sleep patterns. Further studies have found that exercise also helps stimulate the growth of brain cells associated with memory and learning, a function hampered by depression.
The hippocampus (the part of the brain involved in memory forming, organising and storing) will start to decrease around age 60, but in walkers it has been shown to increase over time instead. A study conducted over 13 years found that of 300 participants, 116 had developed some cognitive problems and the effects were 50 per cent greater for those who didn't walk.
So what are you waiting for? Get out and head bush! For more info on Life's An Adventure click here.

Way bigger than the Olympics.
The Super Bowl doesn't come close.
The best part about going to the World Cup for a month in 2006 was that is was like going to a huge international party. Germany was the host, and everywhere you went it was party atmosphere. Munich. Nuremburg. Dortmund. Berlin. And everywhere else in between. You could hang out with Ecuadorians in the plaza in front of the Koln Cathedral, or you could dance with Angloans in Frankfurt. And when we left Germany briefly to visit Prague, we partied with the Dutch at the main plaza in the city center.
If the US team plays to their ability, we can advance to the 2nd round. Let's hope Oguchi Onyewu is healthy, and that we don't miss Brian Ching too much. I think Buddle, Gomez and Robbie Findley (GO BEAVS!) will pick up the slack in case Altidore, Donovan and Dempsey aren't firing on all cylinders. Watching Dempsey score against Ghana in Nuremburg in 2006 was absolutely CRAZY! I was hoarse for days afterward. (Sorry, not worth $56 to upgrade my account in order to upload my video.)

Singing for the USA
Witnessing the USA draw 1-1 against eventual champions Italy in Kaiserslautern with only 9 men was one of the most impressive displays of team unity that I have seen by the US team. Keller's stop on Del Piero in the waning minutes made the house come down! Best save of the tournament.

I can't wait for World Cup 2010 to begin. There's going to be way too many games to possibly watch — not that we won't try. I am suddenly feeling the remorse for not buying tickets to South Africa. What a mistake! (Plus, you never know who you are going to run into at the airport.)

The Karmic Justice of World Cup 2006
June 7, 2010 Merty	6 comments
Italy was the best team at the UEFA European Football Championship 2000.
Maybe you don't know, or maybe you do, that every 4 years they have the Football (Soccer) Championship of Europe. It's like the World Cup, but it only includes the teams from Europe…and it's offset by 2 years from the World Cup. So, we had the World Cup 2006 in Germany, and then the European Football Championship in 2008 in Austria/Switzerland, and then the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
At the 2000 European Championship, Italy was the best team, although they lost the final game to France. France had been beaten by the Netherlands earlier in the tournament. France was completely outclassed. And, it took a very controversial penalty kick awarded to France against Portugal in their semi final game for France to even make the final game.
Meanwhile, Italy were a revelation. Somehow they came out of their naturally defensive shell. They attacked teams, reveling in their newly found freedom. They scored lots of goals, and they played wonderful soccer. In the other semi final, Italy played with 10 men against the same Netherlands team that had previously beaten France. Italy were a man down for most of the game, but still played inspired football and won.
And the Final match was brilliant…almost. Italy were doing everything right – absolutely outplaying France – except they just couldn't score a goal. Del Piero had three breakaways…but he didn't score even one of them. If ever a team was lucky to be hanging on by the collective skins of their teeth, it was France in the first half of the Euro 2000 Final.
The second half started, and Italy scored a goal. Finally! I remember breathing a huge sigh of relief. Finally, finally, they made all of their dominance pay off. France tried to break through the Italian defense, but they just couldn't do it. As the game neared the end, I was so happy for Paolo Maldini. This guy is one of my soccer heroes. He had been so close to winning a major International tournament, but had never quite done it, losing in the final in 1994 World Cup and the semi finals of the 1990 World Cup on penalties.
But it was not to be.
In the 95th minute of the game, well into extra time, French forward Silvain Wiltord took a hopeful shot on goal, and it took a wicked deflection. It wrong-footed the Italian goalkeeper, and trickled into the goal. The game was tied. France would go on to win in extra time. Italy was totally wasted after having two 120 minute games in a row, and unfortunately the wind came out of their sails after missing so many chances in the first half. Ultimately they couldn't bounce back from the late lucky shot that tied the game.
It was horrible. Yes, sometimes luck plays its part in sporting events, and in the Euro 2000 Final, France got lucky.
But fast-forward to 2006, where these same teams met in the World Cup Final in Berlin. Many of the same players that had played against each other in 2000 were on the field again. (Unfortunately, Paolo Maldini had resisted repeated requests from the coach to play on the 2006 World Cup team for Italy, and was not on the team.)
Your probably know the story of World Cup 2006 Final. The teams were tied after regular time 1-1. If you go back and watch the highlights , try to find the foul that was called to award France a penalty kick and score their only goal of the game. I still can't see one. Then, Zinedine Zidane lost the plot, was thrown out of his final game for France after head-butting an Italian player, and the rest is history. Italy won the World Cup!
Some say that France was a better team in the 2006 World Cup Final. I happen to agree that they played very well. France with Zinedine Zidane is one of the best soccer teams to ever play on Planet Earth. If they had a weakness in 2006, it was with scoring goals. But as the final game wore on, France looked the likeliest to score and win the game in extra time.
So what made Zizu do it? What made the greatest player of his footballing generation head-butt an opposing player and effectually end France's hopes of lifting the World Cup just when they appeared poised to win the game?
It was Karma, baby. Karma left over from Euro 2000 final, that France won against a superior Italian team on a lucky desperation shot in the final second that happened to be deflected the right way into the net. You can try to cheat Karma on the soccer field, but it finally caught up with France in World Cup 2006.

A grammatical specification of human-computer dialogue
Albert Nymeyer
The Seeheim Model of human-computer interaction partitions an interactive application into a user-interface, a dialogue controller and the application itself. One of the formal techniques of implementing the dialogue controller is based on context-free grammars and automata. In this work, we modify an off-the-shelf compiler generator (YACC) to generate the dialogue controller. The dialogue controller is then integrated into the popular X-window system, to create an interactive-application generator. The actions of the user drive the automaton, which in turn controls the application.

Board Games Buying Guide
This entry was posted in @Buyer's Guide Toys & Games and tagged Board Games by Ranky10 (updated on October 12, 2018 )
Jump to Winner of Board Games Top 10 Rankings!
What kind of board games are there?
While there are too many board games to be easily qualified within a few categories, the main types you will encounter will be:
Children's games (usually simpler and shorter)
General games (a bit more complex and longer than the children's, mostly intended for all ages)
Role-playing games (extremely complex games that last a long time, usually intended for adults or teenagers)
What to look out for?
The most common problem with games is the age limit. While there is no one stopping you from playing a game well out of your age limit, these limitations usually exist for a reason. Do not allow your children to play unattended with games that are not listed for their age since this can turn out to be very dangerous.
Even if the game has no small parts that could be swallowed, complex games may leave children bored and unfulfilled. Always try to buy a game within the desired age limit.
Which game should you choose?
Deciding on which game to buy can depend on a lot of factors. The first and most important question would be "Does it look fun?". However, there are a few things you must keep in mind when purchasing a board game, in order to ensure maximum enjoyment and value. Depending on these, here a few factors that should be considered:
Who is playing?
Of course, games meant for children and are going to be different, and the factors to look out for will also differ.
First of all, safety! Make sure that the game is safe for children by referring to the age limit listed on the box. Those limitations are there with good reason, games may contain small parts that might be dangerous to children, so make sure that your children will be safe while playing.
The look at the game itself. If you get your children a game that lasts too long or is too complicated, they might simply find it too demanding and boring and refuse to play it, leaving you with a useless gift for them.
Games for all
These are great games that can immerse the entire family. These can always be a good choice since they are fun, safe and easy to begin. Make sure that you still refer to the age limit on the box, since most board games will have some limitations on very young children (usually board games begin at age 3+)
These are often more complicated and immersive games, and you should take care not to bring out a children¡¯s game to your adult friends. Just as games that are too complicated can become boring to children, games that are too simple and childish will not be interesting for adults.
How much time do you plan on playing?
Board games may also differ in game length. While there are some games that may only last for minutes, board games can range up to hours, and even days length, requiring multiple sessions. Before buying a board game, look for information on how long a typical game lasts, and buy accordingly.
If you only have an hour or two to spare, it might not be the best idea to get a game that lasts longer than that. When buying games that last shorter, you can have a bit more freedom, since these games are usually simpler, and offer greater replay value, meaning you can play more than one round per session.

Lifepath: how we will use biomarker research
di Paolo Vineis
Quality of life and life expectancy are not the same for all individuals. Dramatic differentials in these traits, as well as in many other health features, represent one of the biggest challenges for our society. Social and economic factors play a major role in determining these differences, as it has been proved that people from higher socio-economic groups are more likely to live longer and in better health conditions. Such an issue may only be faced by developing future health policies and strategies that take into account the close relationship between health and wellbeing on the one hand, and socio-economic conditions on the other. And this is one of the main objectives pursued by Lifepath project.
Biological pathways linking determinants to healthy ageing
What is missing in linking overarching determinants like socio-economic status (SES) to health and poor ageing is an understanding of the intermediate mechanisms and biological pathways that relate low SES with deterioration of organic parameters. For example, research on immune markers in the Whitehall II study has shown that glucocorticoids and inflammation may in part explain how the body mediates the effects of low SES thus leading to disease, and this is partly independent from the most common and well-known risk factors like smoking. More generally, recent studies have shown that SES can influence the global physiological dysregulation across the life-course, measured using a measure of biological multisystem wastage defined as allostatic load.
The approach based on intermediate biomarkers is more powerful than the one based on traditional risk factors alone because (a) it may explain subtle chronic effects acting throughout the life-course (like chronic stress) that are not easily captured by questionnaire-based epidemiology; (b) it allows to trace signals that start in early life down to health effects in later life; (c) it provides an approach to the discovery of new pathways and causes of disease, particularly through the new omic technologies. By analysing intermediate biomarkers potentially involved in various diseases, this approach is likely to reveal some common – and currently unknown – roots of many non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like multi-morbidity, thus improving our ability to implement successful interventions, with a wide range of actions.
Epigenetics and human social genomics
Recently, evidence has accumulated on the key role of epigenetic modifications induced by the experience of psychosocial adversity in initiating physiological dysregulations. More specifically, human and animal studies have shown that SES influences DNA methylation and gene expression, particularly across genomic regions regulating immune function. A pivotal study in macaques detected altered levels of expression and methylation in inflammatory genes (in particular NFATC1, IL8RB – CXCR2 in humans – and PTGS2) in relation to changes in hierarchical status. To date, the few studies that have addressed this issue in humans reported associations between SES in early and adult life and DNA methylation of genes regulating the immune function. However, these studies were usually based on small samples and subject to methodological limitations. In particular, it remains to be established to what extent SES has an impact on DNA methylation independently of unhealthy lifestyles – thus directly altering gene regulation – and which are the features of low SES directly influencing cellular activity and its regulation.
To encompass the overall impact of social adversities on biology, the concept of human social genomics has been put forward. A core element is the modulation of transcription factors by environmental and social circumstances, through the so-called conserved transcription response to adversity (CTRA). The latter is represented by the pattern of responses (largely inflammatory and immunological) that have developed during evolution to cope with stressful environments, and that implicate networks of transcription factors in their mechanisms. Although such patterns were originally developed to respond to microbial and traumatic sources of stress, they have evolved into generalized responses to environmental pressure, including psychological stress or sleep loss. These modulation patterns occur in the leukocytes, i.e. a cell type that is easily accessible in large population-based studies.
Biological pathways: omics and biomarkers in Lifepath
The research carried out by Lifepath is focused on cohorts that are extremely rich in biomarker measurements, most of which have been measured recently and still have to be analysed statistically. Some biomarkers are already available or will be measured with existing funds: methylome, inflammation markers and metabolomics. Most cohorts have C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and many have cytokines.
We will perform new methylome analyses for 2,500 new subjects and new transcriptomic analyses for about 600 subjects. Peripheral blood is a convenient source for epigenetic testing, but cellular heterogeneity can confound or mask the results, because epigenetic signatures differ from one cell subtype to another. Moreover, the composition of the blood cells can change under a plethora of pathophysiological conditions, and this can also be influenced by SES. The importance of measuring epigenetic patterns across specific cell subtypes also depends on disease status, and subtle differences are likely more important for multifactorial traits. For these reasons, we will perform first the methylome in two specific blood cell types in 500 Whitehall II subjects and then validate the findings in PBMC in cohorts with cell counts available. We will also enrich our biomarker stock by measuring IL6 and other cytokines in 6,600 additional subjects in Whitehall II and in Skipogh and Colaus, in which also the methylome and RNA sequencing will be measured (n=500).
Gene-environment interactions will be part of the project. Genotyping will be performed (or is already available) through other funds for 17,000 subjects from Airwave, 6,600 from Whitehall II, 1,100 from Skipogh and 6,000 from Colaus. The Cardiometabochip will be used in all of them except in Colaus. We will be able to relate genetic susceptibility to SES and to include genetic susceptibility in the life-course trajectories leading from poor SES to unhealthy ageing and to investigate how genetic susceptibility modulates the role of exposures and omic markers.

Epidemic: from reality to fantasy
di Luca Morandi
Comparing the Covid-19 pandemic with two pandemics from literature: "The White Plague" by Frank Herbert and "Station 11" by Emily St. John Mandel
Epidemics is an often recurring theme in world literature, where authors share with us their realistic and unrealistic version of them. I recently read two books with global plagues in them: "The White Plague" by Herbert (1982) and "Station 11" by St. John Mandel (2014). These books came to mind at the outbreak of the new coronavirus epidemics, and I was reminded of the traits of their own epidemics and how puzzled they had left me. I will not compare these three diseases scientifically, as that would be impossible.

Earthquakes, Eruptions, Tsunami, History and Weather in New Zealand and the South Pacific
« King Richard III – 1452 to 1485
Strong Quakes, Tonga »
Major Quake, Papua New Guinea
A major undersea earthquake struck Papua New Guinea early this afternoon, New Zealand time.
Monday, 30th March 2015
A major earthquake struck beneath St Georges Channel in the northern Solomon Sea at 12:49 this afternoon, New Zealand Daylight Time. The magnitude 7.5 earthquake was centred between the islands of New Britain and New Ireland at a depth of 40 km according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The USGS reports that the earthquake was centred 55 km south-east of Kokopo, Papua New Guinea (PNG), 281 km east north-east of Kimbe PNG, 787 km north-east of Port Moresby PNG.
Geoscience Australia reports the earthquake as magnitude 7.7 at a depth of 52 km. It estimates that the quake would have caused damage within 200 km of the epicentre and would have been felt up to 2500 km away.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued four bulletins for this event, reporting the quake as magnitude 7.6 at a depth of 33 km. Initially, the centre estimated that tsunami waves reaching 1 to 3 metres were possible along some coasts of Papua New Guinea, based on the depth and nature of the earthquake. However, in a bulletin issued at 15:30 NZDT, it was able to advise that the threat from the event had mostly passed. By that time a wave of 3 cm had been measured at Tarekukure Wharf in the Solomon Islands, 450 km from the earthquake epicentre, at 14:59 NZDT.
New Zealand's Ministry of Civil Defence issued a notice timed 13:15 NZDT advising that the earthquake was unlikely to have caused a tsunami that would pose a threat to New Zealand.

Interviews1 Comment on INTERVIEW WITH … OCNS BAND
ABOUT OCNS:
OCNS took time. Time allowed growth and change, but most importantly the opportunity to arrive at the right place in the right moment. Six years have passed, and in that time OCNS have grown from three members to six; finally becoming complete. With six unique perspectives, OCNS meld haunting tones of ambience, melodic tones of alt-rock, and top it off with indie-style and pop sensibility. OCNS released their debut single, "If I'm A Ghost" in January 2018 and are currently looking towards the near future. The follow-up single "You," is a leap towards an ever-growing, ambient, enveloping sonic palette that will become synonymous with OCNS. OCNS is Grandy (Drums), Esdras (Bass), Isaac (Keys), Drew (Guitar), David (Guitar), and Andrew (Vocals).
– Behind The Curtains Media
OCNS // Band
I got a chance to chat with the band about their latest single and much more you can read it all below!
1. Let's talk about a bit about the new single "You" and the inspiration behind it? Also that epic saxophone part!
OCNS: The saxophone part! We figured incorporating sax really helped with dynamics in the track. So grateful to have had some amazing feedback on it. We wrote "You" with the intended purpose of having a track that really had a running groove. The songs all about movement, and it really feels that way! From a lyrical aspect, the track digs into how deep infatuation with someone or something can unintentionally become unhealthy for you. In some cases, serving strong feelings and desires for someone doesn't always end up how you'd expect.
2. I love the lyric video… Can you talk a bit about that? Also can we expect an official video anytime soon?
OCNS: The lyric video was not originally planned, but we're glad to have put it out! The video really helps in portraying our personality as a band and, I'd say, even complements the music as well. We're definitely not world class dancers hahahah, but we do hope it got other people moving. As for an official video, it all depends on where we are in the near future with this single. Hope we can!
3. There is a noticeable difference in the soundscapes of your first song "If I'm A Ghost" and your latest "You" yet there's still that OCNS sound. Was that something you set out to achieve or something that just happened organically?
OCNS: Absolutely! It's certainly our goal to stamp our own sound to our music. The fact that people are catching on to that concept early on is amazing! Most of our tracks, if not all, are completely different, but we always tend to organically blend them together. We're just thrilled to sonically have our own mark while exploring multiple genres of music.
4. Since your band has a lot of old school vibes especially with the added use of the saxophone. I wanted to ask what's your favorite '90s jam?
OCNS: "Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve was a BOP" -Isaac
"The whole Verve discography is great, especially the A Storm in Heaven album. Gotta say I used to love the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but the 90's was pure RnB." -Drew
"90's was true RnB." -Isaac
"Yeah, gotta go with some Destiny's Child or Sade on that front." – Drew
*No Ordinary Love by Sade plays in the background*
5. What was your favorite band or artist in high school?
OCNS: That all depends on who your talking to in the band! We all had wildly different tastes. Isaac loved, and has always loved Coldplay. Drew was into more hardcore stuff like Counterparts. David was super into Ben Howard. Grandy was all about some Paramore and Explosions In The Sky. Esdras has always loved Juicy J. Andrew used to be very much obsessed with Mutemath.
6. What is everyone's must have tour item?
OCNS: Most of us technically have never been on tour, despite all our years of playing music together. Andrew (vocals) has some serious touring experience from his previous band, and would probably say to always bring basic toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant, etc. but the real key is MOIST TOWELETTES. Being able to wipe yourself down after a show or first thing after you wake up and get out of the car after hours of being crammed in there is unbelievably important.
7. Let's talk about the album cover art for "You". How did you decide on the cover art for this latest single and how do you think it's set the tone in terms of the song?
OCNS: We actually had a lot of trouble finding exactly what we wanted for this album cover. Everyone agreed that it should be set at night and have some sort of neon lights in it to capture just the way the song felt to us. Dancey and nocturnal. We came across a few street shots that were absolutely beautiful, but weren't unanimously agreed upon so we continued the search. At some point, Andrew stumbled upon this photo of the palm tree in front of what looks like someone's house and it clicked immediately with everyone. Isaac and Andrew did some photo editing and tweaking to create what everyone has seen with the song.
8. What's next for you guys as a band? Tour? Album?
OCNS: Right now, we are focusing on playing shows as much as the six of us possibly can, play where we never have before, as well as writing new material. We hope to put together a more solid release in the coming months, though nothing is currently set in stone. We are working diligently on a multitude of demos, but the finished piece has yet to even be conceptualized.
9. Anything else you would like to add?
OCNS: Thank you for talking to us, listening to us, and hope to talk again in the future! Y'all ask very fun-to-answer questions.

Glitch Morning
https://thebrittneyw.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/glitch-morning.mp3


The United States Army Corps of Engineers is continuing its work trying to keep stormwater outfall pipes in Rehoboth Beach clear, although when they are doing it may not be up everyone's alley.
An excavator has been on call since the end of February's beach replenishment project. At that time, stormwater outfall pipes at five locations – Rehoboth, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland avenues, as well as Laurel Street – were singled out after too much sand from the beach replenishment filled the pipes.
Rehoboth resident Joe Hill raised concerns to city officials about safety issues when the excavator made its way through a crowded Sunday afternoon beach day. Hill snapped pictures of the excavator trudging through the sand. He said he did not mind the corps working, but was concerned with beachgoers' safety.
Rochette said the corps would continue to keep the pipes clear at low tide.
City Manager Greg Ferrese said the city, via the Rehoboth Beach Patrol, has been assisting in crowd control when the excavator is run during the day. Ferrese said while he does not like the excavator running during the day, there's not much the city can do.
"We have to keep those outfalls open. If they're not cleaned out, they will back up," he said.
Ferrese said there have been a few instances when the outfall pipes did back up and cause flooding. In late-May early-June, flooding caused water to come up on the curb in front of Grotto Pizza, Ferrese said. In April, the basement of the Bandstand experienced minor flooding.
Rochette said the corps had a complaint over a weekend in June of flooding at Laurel Street, although he has not heard anything since.
"We've tried to avoid work on weekends because of the large crowds. But anytime there is rain, there's a potential for some flooding if we don't keep the outfalls cleared," he said.
at Laurel Street and Rehoboth and Delaware avenues. However, the corps again revised the plan to allow the sand filling the pipes to erode naturally and be cleaned on an as-needed basis.
However, the sand has not exactly been cooperating.
He said when the summer season ends, the corps plans to work with Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to see if a permanent fix like outfall extensions is necessary.
Rochette said a permanent fix would not be possible during the busy summer season, so the corps is waiting and performing maintenance as needed.


This was a pretty full genealogy day, and I even got some research accomplished!
* After reading emails and blogs, finished up the Best of the Genea-Blogs - 10 to 16 February 2013 post.
* We went off to church at 9:30 a.m., talked to John about things.
* Home at 11:30 a.m. to read, then started transcribing the four probate records found yesterday for Cornelius Feather. This was a bit of a slog, but I got them done, entered into RootsMagic and sourced, along with several other Facts. Found an error in one of his daughters, so researched her and her family and deleted the wrong husband and kids. Did more research into several Feather and Carringer families and added content and sources to the database.
* Revised my two SOPs for CVGS meeting on Monday, and sent them off. Printed all of them and put them in a folder. I think I did that before, but can't find it!
* In for dinner at 5:15 p.m., watched TV news and read the paper.
* Online at 7 p.m. to read, check Facebook, write SNGF Genealogy OCD Posts Compendium and then worked in Find A Grave record matches on MyHeritage. Got 31 more confirmed, 528 to go! Added about 80 sources too.

Somersham firm is first with secure-accredited sliding door
Updated: Thursday, May 3, 2012 (16:59)
Kloeber doors
A SOMERSHAM company that started life in a pig-shed in Willingham just six years ago has become the only firm in the country to achieve 'Secured by Design' accreditation for its timber folding sliding doors.
Kloeber UK Limited has grown to employ more than 30 people, based in Cambridgeshire and at two recently-opened London showrooms.
C-founder and now PR and marketing director Vanessa Morris said the process of acquiring accreditation from the Association of Chief Police Officers for the anti-burglar design had been a painful one for the multi-million pound company.
"They have to try to break through your doors several times, so it's expensive and painful to watch them bash hell out of your product," she said. "It's a very vigorous process. They are asking companies such as ours to design out anything that would let burglars in."
In Kloeber's case that involves toughened glass with internal beading and hinges that cannot be reached from outside, as well as very secure locks.
"We're a very busy company already, and I'm sure that, now that word of the Secured by Design accreditation is getting out, it will make a difference to sales," Ms Morris added.
"We have a fabulous team of like-minded people who are trained to sell what best suits the client, even if it costs less."
Although Klober started out producing only timber doors, it now also offers aluminium and composite products, as well as its Funkyfront contemporary entrance doors, designed by the client, which are also accredited.
INFORMATION: ACPO says that, one year alone, some 700,000 burglaries could be thwarted if appropriate security devices were installed, representing an annual saving of nearly £2billion. The Association of British Insurers has estimated that the introduction of Secured by Design standards across the UK would bring more than £3.2 billion worth of savings to the economy over 20 years

COVID-19 has prompted the world to hunker down and work from home. For the average person with a desk job, this doesn't pose regulatory problems, but for healthcare providers, the use of personal devices and lack of oversight from an organization's IT department is leaving them and their companies susceptible to violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Enforcers of HIPAA, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announced on March 17 that they would be using "enforcement discretion" regarding HIPAA violations, potentially waiving some penalties for healthcare providers who serve
The most prominent vector affecting the contemporary data landscape is its increasing decentralization. Developments in cloud computing and mobile technologies have largely supported the trend in which modern workforces are becoming more distributed—yet better connected—than they previously were. The mobile technology space has proved particularly utilitarian in this regard, with a number of innovations predicated on empowering professionals in work environments external to the enterprise. A recent partnership between Web.com Group and Phone.com is furthering this movement by providing a solution to enable employees to leverage the same mobile device with two phone numbers—one for work and one for business.

With millions of companies across the world still coming to terms with a massive, sudden transition to work-at-home environments, technologies to enable teleworking have been front and center. Many tech companies have reported significant increases in their cloud communications and collaboration solutions, which give workers access to the same communications tools they have at the office. One of the challenges of remote and mobile workers is the BYOD trend – workers are using their personal mobile devices for business activities. For employees, that can be a disruption, especially when business calls come in during off hours. It can
By Joel Maloff As small businesses adapt to a remote workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic, many risk falling prey to compliance violations without knowing it, particularly in highly regulated sectors, such as healthcare and finance. Small businesses in both sectors are learning to embrace digital transformation as a resourceful and immediate way to handle the remote telework needs presented by the pandemic. That's only the first step. They must also educate themselves on regulations and prevent violations from happening while their staff is remote working. With a remote and largely unsupervised workforce that isn't always mindful of compliance, the

Entrepreneurs are highly motivated. They crave new technology and aren't afraid to dive headfirst into new projects. I've found most entrepreneurs share several common traits: energy, confidence, persuasion, leadership, personal accountability, interpersonal skills and goal orientation. They follow their instincts and embrace risks. Most successful, self-made businesspeople also have magnetic personalities that subliminally attract people to them. But what most distinguishes true entrepreneurs is the drive to forge ahead and continuously innovate. However, some entrepreneurs lack the skills necessary for long-term success, such as patience, organization, executive function, the ability to prioritize and the discipline to stick to their roadmap.

This week we have seen decent sized inflows in the largest Biotech Equity based ETP in the U.S. listed landscape, IBB (iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology, Expense Ratio 0.48%), to the tune of about $400 million.
Net year to date the fund has reeled in north of $1.2 billion now, pushing the fund near the $10 billion mark in terms of total assets under management ($9.5 billion in total is in this fund).
The top holding in IBB, GILD (8.24% weighting), reported quarterly earnings results earlier this week and the stock has had a rather volatile ride in the short term, blitzing through its 50 day MA just five trading sessions ago, but having since rallied back to its 50 day MA where it is currently clinging. Likewise, the second largest holding in the fund BIIB (8.04% weighting) has gotten crushed since mid-July and post earnings, trading at its lowest levels since late 2014 currently.
However, this recent volatility in the two top weighted names has obviously not stopped investors from pouring money into IBB, and we have seen a similar dynamic occurring in other Biotech ETFs such as the second largest fund in the category FBT (First Trust NYSE Arca Biotechnology, Expense Ratio 0.60%, $3.8 billion in AUM) and the third largest XBI (SPDR S&P Biotech, Expense Ratio 0.35%, $2.9 billion in AUM), as these ETFs have reeled in $1.1 billion and $917 million in new assets respectively in 2015.
Interestingly, the fourth largest Biotech Equity ETF is a leveraged long product, with assets pushing near $1 billion at the moment, BIB (ProShares Ultra NASDAQ Biotechnology, Expense Ratio 0.95%) and this fund has attracted modest new assets year to date (+$110 million).
Next in line in terms of AUM size are BBH (Market Vectors Biotech, Expense Ratio 0.35%, $826 million in AUM), PBE (PowerShares Dynamic Biotech & Genome, Expense Ratio 0.59%, $580 million in AUM), SBIO (ALPS Medical Breakthroughs, Expense Ratio 0.50%, $205 million in AUM), and then the levered short product BIS (ProShares UltraShort NASDAQ Biotechnology, Expense Ratio 0.95%, $120 million in AUM).


Today one of our older SSIS packages failed which loads data into our warehouse, it turns out one of the fields had been expanded as the business had started to use a different standard for one of the codes. Despite not being told about this, it causing it fail and generate extra work on an already busy Monday it was actually a really good thing.
Firstly, once we identified the problem (and fixed it), our main business contact was aware of it, was able to explain why it was happening. The change in a nutshell was to change from using a internal-only generated code to using the national standard – Care Quality Commission (CQC) ID.
Part of the next step of the change will be to bring on-board the CQC data which include the Care Home ratings. This will create a unified view of placements and ensuring no-one is in Care Home rated as inadequate.
CQC provides the data either by CSV\Spreadsheet or an API.
Initial I thought importing the data dumps would be a good way forward, however after playing with the API, it looks like this might be a much better way forward. Below is a PowerShell script I knocked up to test the API out.
It's really good to see that APIs are being generated, its just a shame these aren't being embedded directly into the software. Still, its a long journey, but at least its started.

Why is Jahorina our preferred Bosnian mountain?
, Ski Life
We are very aware that Jahorina is not the only Olympic mountain near Sarajevo. During the 1984 Olympics there were 4 main mountains:
Jahorina: Women's alpine skiing
Bjelasnica: Men's alpine skiing
Igman: cross-country skiing, Nordic skiing, ski-jump
Trebevic: Bobsleigh, luge
However, out of these 4, we only offer Jahorina as the main mountain and resort, in combination with Sarajevo city. Why is that?
In a word: facilities. But there is much more to it than that.
Bosnians are, quite rightly, sick of articles that focus on the 90s war, as the country has moved on since then and the younger generations of Sarajevo have no direct recollection of the events of that period (even if the consequences take many years to fade). Yet, it is impossible to talk about Sarajevo's Olympic venues without mentioning the impact of the war, so let's get it out of the way!
Throughout the conflict of 1992 to 95, while Jahorina remained under Bosnian Serb control, Bjelasnica and Igman saw intense hostilities between the involved sides and the area was eventually declared a demilitarised zone by the UN. The fighting around Bjelasnica/Igman meant that much of the Olympic infrastructure such as hotels, chalets, ski-jumps, equipment etc was destroyed.
Jahorina escaped such widespread destruction. This meant that when it came to reopening for visitors, Jahorina had a headstart and was able to use its 1980s ski-lift infrastructure to carry skiers in the 2000s as the visitors started to return.
However, since that period, the 2 main mountains have had completely divergent developmental stories.
Development since the 2010s
Since the 90s, Bosnia has existed as 2 main entities joined together: the Bosnian Serb republic and the Muslim-Croat Federation. We do not want to go into how complicated this is with revolving presidencies with multiple parliaments, and the fact that these entities are also divided into their own cantons (Swiss-style) as this would give you a headache (imagine how locals feel!). Most visitors to Bosnia are unaware what entity or canton they are in when they are travelling around, as there are no hard borders to indicate which "zone" you are in, and for tourists it is not really important. However, it is useful to know that the mountain of Jahorina ended up in the Bosnian Serb republic and most of the city of Sarajevo and Bjelasnica/Igman ended up in the Federation.
Unfortunately, the Federation has not managed the development of Bjelasnica very well, with little investment and a lack of vision in the development of accommodation, lift networks, artificial snow, visitor facilities etc.
Conversely, the Bosnian Serb republic has done an excellent job with Jahorina. The past 10-12 years has seen big developments: the installation of 3 new six-seater lifts, an excellent gondola lift, new anchor lifts, more routes and slopes, better signage, more hotels, new chalets and apartments, more bars and big concert events (Bryan Ferry opened the season a couple of years ago). At Ski Sarajevo we also love the addition of new kindergartens and family/beginner ski zones, with the extra bonus of rubber ring slides. Finally, Jahorina invested in an efficient artificial snow cannon network.
This has resulted in no-brainer situation for Ski Sarajevo. We would love to offer both Jahorina and Bjelasnica in a combined Olympic mountain region with Sarajevo city, but until Bjelasnica is able to get close to Jahorina's impressive facilities then we will continue to only offer a Jahorina + Sarajevo city package for the foreseeable future.
Even though Bjelasnica's development is lagging behind Jahorina's speedy improvement, there are some other excellent additions to Sarajevo's winter scene that bring more promise:
(1) As mentioned above, the small mountain of Trebevic (directly above Sarajevo) was the site for the bobsleigh during the Olympics. Even though this area was adversely affected in the 90s conflict, a new cable-car that connects the centre of the city with the peak of this mountain has recently opened. This has proven to be hugely popular with both locals and tourists alike.
(2) Another mini-resort with lifts/gondolas, a lovely restaurant and bar has opened up between Sarajevo and Jahorina, called Ravna Planina. There is talk of this mini-resort connecting up to Jahorina's network of runs and lifts to create a much larger resort that would cut out the need to drive up to Jahorina (45 mins) as visitors would be able to catch a gondola from Ravna Planina instead (only 20 mins drive from Sarajevo city).
With all of these new projects having been completed over the past decade and with new investment pouring into the winter sports scene around Sarajevo every year, needless to say we are very excited for the future of winter tourism in Bosnia. Come and see it all for yourself with Ski Sarajevo!

FIRE > Newsdesk > Surprise, Surprise: Another Student Newspaper Theft
Surprise, Surprise: Another Student Newspaper Theft
by Emily Guidry
Student Press Law Center (SPLC) reports another student newspaper theft, this time at University of Tulsa.
Copies of The Collegian were taken from newsstands and then redistributed with unauthorized inserts. The additions to the paper included a picture of the paper's managing editor extending her middle finger, as well as the website address of her online journal.
Thursday Bram, the managing editor, said she believes fliers were put in about 700 copies of The Collegian's 4,000 total distributed issues.
Bram contends that the incident was retaliation for an article she wrote about allocation of students, in which she said student groups with close ties to student government may have received special funding in violation of school policy.
The university appears to be taking the matter under serious consideration, and has already identified suspects and instituted disciplinary proceedings against them. Their names have not been released, however.
Unfortunately, this report comes on the heels of a recent increase in newspaper thefts on campuses across the country. As Will, Tara, and Samantha have blogged about recently, students are using this underhanded tactic to deprive students and faulty of information. Inside Higher Ed reported earlier this week that already this academic year, twelve incidents of student newspaper theft have been reported to the SPLC, compared with nineteen total cases last year. We only hope that this trend is a waning one, and that administrators continue to treat newspaper thefts with the gravity they deserve.
