WWE's Mr Kennedy Interview Recap – The Main Event Wrestling Radio Show – May 4th 2008
Courtesy of Steve Rockamaniac:
Q: Ryan Rider alongside Steve Rockamaniac, and today we'll be interviewing a man who's voice you'll pretty much recognize right away, WWE Superstar Ken Kennedy, or should I say, Mr Kennedy…Kennedy, How's it going Mr Kennedy?
A: I was just going to correct you, but you did well and corrected yourself, so I applaud you.
Q: First off, lets go back to your early days, growing up were you always a wrestling fan?
A: No I wasn't actually, When I was a little kid, I watched Saturday night's main event with my dad and, WWF Superstars, but I kinda fell away from it as I got a little older and it wasn't until 96 or 97 when I was at a buddy's house and he forced me into watching wrestling as he told me we were going to watch wrestling, and I was like we're not gonna watch that garbage, Im not gonna watch two guys rolling around all oiled up, he just said yea but you cant look at it that way, it's a male soap opera, and he said trust me, there is this one guy named Stone Cold Steve Austin, your gonna love him, so at least watch it for that, so I did and I immediately saw Steve coming out to the ring driving a pickup truck throwing in a six pack of beer and flipping people off, I just thought right away that was a guy I could relate too, and I started watching every week religiously just to see him, and pretty soon I got roped into everything else and realized what I had been missing all these years, so I started doing my homework and really went back and looked at the archives, got as many tapes as I possibly could and went back a revisited wrestling history.
Q: So what made you want to make the leap into the business?
A: Well it was just something that I was always always since I was a little kid, been interested in the entertainment industry, I was always making people laugh, goofing off and joking around, doing impersonations of people and reciting lines from movies from the time I could remember so that played into it.
Q: What was your training like?
A: My in ring training was about 9 months of taking bumps, slamming in a 16 x 16 foot ring and it was in a small little dingy poorly lit room in a old mall in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The ring was like concrete and we would just get in there and just do bump after bump all day long, and I would only do it 1 or 2 days a week but at that time being new to the business, you know the first bump you take, I remember the second day, after I had my first day of practice, I went to work and it felt like I had been in a car accident, cause here I thought I would be landing on a trampoline, instead I was landing on railroad ties covered up by a piece of plywood, so it was pretty rough.
Q: Any good stories from your early days in the business?
A: One of the things about the wrestling business is that you run into some real goofs, you run into some people who try to sell you on pipe dreams, people who actually believe their own hype, and there working to try to accomplish something, but they immediately try to put themselves first. I do remember one of the things one of the guys told me that your not considered a wrestling fan anymore, your above the fans, the fans are weak, the fans are nothing, you don't listen to them, you don't talk to them, you don't associate with them, and its funny cause I always found that weird, because I always look at it as, Im a wrestling fan, and im still a wrestling fan even though im in the business, Im the biggest wrestling fan because I wanted to be in the business because I loved it so much, and I was at a show, and it was my 9th match I believe and the promoter had scheduled us to win the match and take the tag titles from these guys and they refused to put us over because I was too green in their eyes, I hadn't had enough matches and we had some pretty funny exchanges, and it involved a guy wearing a mask and nothing else, and another guy with a bottle of jack daniels wearing a Ku Klux Klan shirt waving around a 9mm handgun in the basement of this place called the watering hole that we were wrestling in so it was a pretty interesting time.
Q: How long was it between the time you started wrestling to the time you got your WWE developmental contract and how did that come about.
A: It took about 6 and a half years for me to actually get a contract and it was a lot of different things falling into place at once and I had prepared myself and made all these contacts and I just kept trying out and trying out for the WWE, I kept sending tapes, I made it a religion to send them a tape every 6 months and I wouldn't hear back from them and when I finally did it was like we've got nothing for you, but once in a while they'd give me a few pointers, but often nothing at all. So I kept working and working and working and sending tapes and every time they were in the area I would call them and ask if I could go in a try out match and I would normally get that and I would just get around the ring the minute I got there and try to be a sponge and sponge off the guys like Arn Anderson, Fit Finlay and Dean Malenko and whoever else was working out in the ring at the time and slowly but surely I just kind of put all the pieces together and you know eventually after about 6 and half years all those pieces fell into place, and all those contacts I had been making started to come through for me you know like Arn Anderson saw me and liked what I was doing, Paul Heyman saw me and liked what I was doing, Tommy Dreamer and a couple other people and all those people came together and said lets pull the trigger on this guy and see what he's got.
Q: Well as we have seen you did end up getting that WWE contract and have been successful thus far, but part of your success can be attested to the fact that you say your name twice, what gave you the idea to do that and are you at all surprised at the level of success you have achieved thus far in the WWE?
A: Well I wouldn't say Im surprised because it was one of those things that I knew I was always going to get there, I had tons of people, when I was working on all those independents for 6 and a half years who would come up to me and say, man when are you gonna get a real job, when are you gonna stop this? Cause here I was driving sometimes 15 hours one way to wrestle in a city in front of 50 people, and get paid 40$ or nothing at all and drive back 15 hours, and you know they thought I was crazy for doing it and I always knew I was going to be successful, it was just something in me that I knew I would rather go to my grave having tried as hard as I possibly could and failed rather than being on of those frustrated jocks who say man I should of played college ball because I could of gone pro cause I was so good in high school, those kind of guys and I wouldn't be that guy, and as far as the ring introduction goes, I used to announce basketball games back when I was in high school and I was speaking with Paul Heyman one night and he said I want you to do something different tonight, I want you to go out there and announce yourself and I actually just kinda pulled that one from the memory banks, as for some reason when I was in high school I used to say the last name twice for some of the guys to spice it up a little bit and everyone thought it was kind of a hoot, kind of a joke, so I went out there in OVW and did it and when I came back through the curtain and I remember everyone was like man when you said your last name twice that was awesome and I was like are you kidding me, that's all it took, its weird, and it just goes to show that the weirdest things can get over and you just never know and you just always gotta keep trying stuff.
Q: For most of your time in the company you have played a rule breaker or heel, and this past Monday on Raw you seemed a little different, may I say even a little nicer or face-ish, so is this part of your game plan to take things to the next level?
A: You know I dunno if someone would say I was any nicer it just happened that I was talking to William Regal, and I would talk to William Regal as I would talk to pretty much anybody, You know I was up in his face I called him on the carpet for something that I believe to be true and I know its true, so I dunno, We'll see, that was a pretty good fan response the other night so we'll see.
Q: Do you have a preference when it comes to working heel or face?
A: You know when I first came into the company I sat down with Vince and he asked me what do you prefer, and I said that ive always found that the best way to come into the company, no matter if I was working a little independent in Nashville, and I'm from Green Bay Wisconsin, it just always seemed better that if I came in as a rule breaker and then won the fans respect in a way and then kind of turn into the good guy so to speak, and that seems to be a good formula, its just really hard to walk into a new place, especially like the WWE where the fans are pretty unforgiving, and expect them to cheer for you just because you say hey yay im a good guy, cheer for me, so I think its truly easy to go the other route.
Q: You mentioned Stone Cold Steve Austin earlier, one of your all time favorites in the world of professional wrestling and over the last couple of years it has been suggested that he has actually taken the time out to give you some pointers here and there and his advice on your direction, so what has Stone Cold's mentorship meant to you?
A: You know it's a little odd to have the guy you looked up to, It's a little bit surreal sometimes to have the guy you looked up to that I never expected that when I got into the business that I would be working side by side with Steve or be able to call him up for advice or anything like that, and its just been fantastic because Steve still has so much to offer to this business, he has such a great wrestling mind, even if his body isn't there to wrestle a 100%, and he's made enough money to retire many times over, so he doesn't necessarily have to be there giving his input as a creative member but he does have some very creative ideas and every once in a while he calls me up and says ive got one for you, why don't you try this one, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but he is one of those guys who I just respect so much, and everytime he's got a unique way to look at everything, I mean ill watch my match 10 times, and then Steve will call me up and say hey I want you to watch this match with me over the phone and he'll go through stuff that I hadn't even noticed that would just make the match that much more exciting for the fans, it's just stuff too that he picks out that you wouldn't believe and its just an awesome tool to be able to have and Im very grateful to have someone like Steve to be able to call upon for his knowledge.
Q: We're not far removed from Wrestlemania 24, how was this year's MITB ladder match compared to last year's which you won?
A: Well this year's pretty much sucked cause I didn't win it, nah but it was a good experience, one less body in there to cause damage, we only had 7 this year instead of 8 and that's a hard deal to put together a match with that many competitors, and its such a big stage, the grandest stage of them all, and everyone has to get their time in, and the other thing was I wasn't there the whole week, normally for Wrestlemania you go in and your there 4 or 5 days before the show and this year I only came in 2 days before the show so didn't have as much time to prepare myself for that match.
Q: Something that has happened quite often to you since you came to the WWE is that everytime it seems that your on the brink of greatness something happens to slow you down, whether it be a injury or last summer's drug scandal, how have you been able to deal with these adversities and not get too frustrated?
A: Well as far as the injuries and stuff go, hey this is wrestling and what we do isn't ballet, I mean things are gonna happen and I got injured and im sure that wont been the last injury ill have, what we do is very physical and very violent on the body, and your gonna get injured, period, and so I had to look at it that way, and everytime I got injured I just go into it with the good understanding that hey you know stuff happens and im gonna try to use the time off to get better mentally, and I don't just sit on my laurels when im home, I watch tapes, I train, get in better shape, and actually the times that I have had off have been nice little breaks where I have been able to give my body a little time to recover. You know there was a injury last year when I tore my triceps, I had just been red lining it up until that point wrestling batista, undertaker, kane all those guys, most beating the snot out of my body and I ended up with two months off and it was a nice little break to rest up the bings and the bangs.
Q: Who has been your favourite opponent to work with?
A: Honestly that's a really hard question for me to answer, there's so many guys that I liked working with for so many reasons, Shawn Michaels was an awesome opponent, The Undertaker was fantastic, he was one of those guys who said hey, im gonna take a shot with you, like he approached me one day and said Id love to do business with you, he's a guy who kinda took me under his wing and said comeone kid lets go for a ride, and he didn't have to that, he's there, and he's the type of guy that is there already and now he wants people to come play with him at the top of the mountain, and that's whats great about him. Ive also had matches with Triple H, and Matt Hardy who ive had some of my more favorite matches with in the WWE as we always have a way of getting out there and really beating the hell out of eachother but at the same time having a good match and we usually come back and the bosses are happy with our matches and everything so.
Q: What would you say is harder, the actual in ring action or being on the road all the time?
A: Well the in ring stuff is easy, cause you got the adrenaline, you got the excitement of the crowd being right there, but you know its afterwards when the adrenaline wears off and the crowds not there anymore and you realize you've taken 15 back drops in the past two weeks as well as a host of other high impact moves and that's when the pain starts to set in and you know you get a little tired, being on the road, being away from the home, things like that, but I love it, you know I love this business, and we make do when were on the road as we become one big family, we take care and look out for eachother and you make do as everyone is in it together and it sure as hell beats the job I was doing 3 years ago when I was personally training people in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I was miserable. So I love what I do.
Q: Lately you've been working on a movie project, Behind Enemy Lines 3, what has that experience been like?
A: It was a good experience, I was down in San Juan, Puerto Rico area, we were filming for the last 6 or 7 weeks, and it was an awesome experience, I got to work with some people in the industry who ive always looked up to, Tim Matheson, directed the film, some of you may remember him from Animal House, Steven Bauer, who was in Scarface, he was Tony Montana's best friend and confidant in that movie and a few other people, Joe Mangianello stars in the movie, and Im right behind him in second position, and so it was a good experience, a lot of fun, and the people I worked with were great, so I think it will be a fun movie, and I think its gonna be entertaining, and it will be out in January.
--Ryan Rider - Ken, It was a pleasure having you on today, we hope to speak with you again in the future, you have attained a lot of success thus far in the WWE, and best of luck in the future Mr Kennedy.
--Mr Kennedy - Thanks Very Much Guys, The Pleasure Was All yours.

Corporate Look
The brand's look is inspired by the company's name as well its vision and incorporates, throughout the visual appearance, the dominant blue that is universally associated with creativity, intelligence and technology.
The logo has been inspired by a black hole. A black hole is born when an object/star becomes unable to withstand the compression force of its own gravity. The star then explodes as a "Supernova".
The Supernova brandmark uses a specially-drawn, proprietary typeface and portrays the bold and dramatic spirit of the black hole in a logo that stands in a progressive and confident manner.
Logo Construction
Following the brand's philosophy and overall corporate look, the Supernova brandmark is represented by the Supernova Wordmark and the special designed "O" with a faded edge. We used the specially-drawn typeface, which must never be replaced by a generic or similar-looking font, to create an easily recognisable logo and enhance the brand's identity.
Our primary colour palette consists of blue and cyan as primary colours and the yellow as an accent colour, all three colours must be used consistently in dynamic and imaginative ways in order to help the brand stand out. The two primary colours (as mentioned above) when used on a white background will add to the visual impact of all communications.

Lake Munguri and Lake Haubi are the main lakes that supply the fish to the Kondoa region. The fish that are in these lakes are catfish and Talapia. Catfish eat talapia and so it is feared that the talapia will disappear at some point.
One of our targets is to bring more talapia to the lake and keep them in a secured place with nets for 2 years until they breed and are big enough to release and compete with the predators.
You can buy fish from sokoine university of agriculture. The cost for 1000 fish is around $500 US and once the fish are bought we can work with the government who will supply the transport.
This is a longer term project that will be in conjunction with the government who can supply the transport and Kondoa Cultural tours will supply the $200 for gas and a driver. This can only happen between July and August and you can be a part of releasing the fish into the lakes.

You guys are all here.
- We were just about to leave, anyway.
- Why? It's still dizzling outside.
- We've been here since after school.
- I'm going to stay here.
- Thanks for sending Bik Asih.
- I'm going to walk them out.
- Do you want to make me happy?
Don't go outside. It's drizzling.
Stay here with Bik Asih.
Shall we continue your massage?
- Thank you so much, Bik Asih.
like a wife to her husband.
- Wish me luck, Bik.
Now I'm giving Bik Asih a lift home.
But someday it will be you.
- Is that a foretell?
Young blood, is the blood of the youth.
They never feel sorry and very stubborn.
Can you forgive him too?
to never do that again to you.
we settle this thing right now.
- Dilan was here earlier today.
and I got a massage, and he left.
- What do you mean you might?
Lia, I'm taking a break.
- What made you so tired?
- Nothing. What if I'm laughing?
- Have you eaten yet?
- A lady who's in line behind me.
Do you want talk to Milea?
She's not interested in you.
You'll be sorry, Maam. She's beautiful.
Do you want her number too?
- What if she fell in love with you?
But I'm a bit sad right now.
She's been sick for three days.
- I'll be back tomorrow, tell that.
- Tell that to who?
- Don't forget about what?
- Don't forget to remember.
Blow a kiss or not?
instead of just a blown one.
- How are you, Babe?
- My name is not Babe!
- I know, you're Lia.
- Then who are you?
- I'm just a whore.
- Can we just drop that?
- That means we're still dating?
- You should take me the way I am.
- I've already found someone in Bandung.
- I knew it. You're dating him!
- That boy I saw in TVRI.
- Then who is he?
- You don't need to know who he is.
that I'm breaking up with you.
- I want to read your future again.
- What will you predict?
but this time not in the canteen.
- Do you want to ride my bike?
- You can give Ravi a lift.
- Be careful and thanks.
- Why did you let him ride your bike?
- I want to walk with you. Shall we?
the name of this street?
- What's the name now?
Who Thought About Her Last Night Street.
- Why did you think about me?
- I only think happy thoughts.
how to stop thinking about you.
so then I don't have to think about it.
I saw Dilan with Susi.
- We're not friends, I just know her.

Q: why 0.1+0.2-0.3= 5.5511151231258E-17 in php
Possible Duplicate:
The accuracy of PHP float calculate

when i executed the code below in eclipse , the result was not 0 but 5.5511151231258E-17
$a = 0.1+0.2-0.3;
echo $a;

could someone tell me why?

A: This is because floating point numbers have limited precision.
You can find more information about this trait on this page in the PHP manual.

Floating point numbers have limited precision. Although it depends on
  the system, PHP typically uses the IEEE 754 double precision format,
  which will give a maximum relative error due to rounding in the order
  of 1.11e-16. Non elementary arithmetic operations may give larger
  errors, and, of course, error progragation must be considered when
  several operations are compounded.
Additionally, rational numbers that are exactly representable as
  floating point numbers in base 10, like 0.1 or 0.7, do not have an
  exact representation as floating point numbers in base 2, which is
  used internally, no matter the size of the mantissa. Hence, they
  cannot be converted into their internal binary counterparts without a
  small loss of precision. This can lead to confusing results: for
  example, floor((0.1+0.7)*10) will usually return 7 instead of the
  expected 8, since the internal representation will be something like
  7.9999999999999991118....
So never trust floating number results to the last digit, and never
  compare floating point numbers for equality. If higher precision is
  necessary, the arbitrary precision math functions and gmp functions
  are available.

Please note that this is not a trait specific to PHP; it is just the way floating point numbers work.

A: You're running into PHP's floating point precision issues. All languages have them, you've just found PHP's.

A: This is not PHP specific, as others have mentioned. However, you can avoid limited floating point precision by using round():
<?php
$a = 0.1+0.3-0.2;
echo round($a, 2);
?>

Of course you will need to know the number of digits beforehand.

A: It's because computers can't accurately represent floating point numbers. This isn't specific to PHP.

Sonic Youth Gossip > Non-Sonic Sounds
ZEROpumpkins presents: Emo Classics #3, Hot Water Music - Fuel for the Hate Game
ZEROpumpkins
By the time Hot Water Music came to be, the emo scene of the early 90's had just entered it's second phase, with the release of Sunny Day Real Estate's ground breaking Diary and Jawbreaker's Dear You a year later. These two albums showcased the slower, more musically inclined versions of emo with less obvious punk influences. Hot Water Music, however, blended the fast emocore influence with what that of which the aforementioned bands were trying to achieve, and created a sound characterised by hoarse, nearly incomprehensible vocals with strong, prominent rhythms that dominated their output.
The second (some argue third) album from Hot Water Music demonstrates a different expression of emotion that most fans of emo are used to. Instead of it being channelled through the vocalist's expression and lyrics, Hot Water Music were able to produce music that was emotional in sheer terms of musical expression as a collective. An example of this can be heard straight off the first track, 220 years: The song is introduced with a chugging, syncopated rhythm; all instruments co-operating in perfect timing. Then a riff slips though, the rest of the band complimenting it as it continues. When the vocals come in, the band dies down so you can hear them. Chuck's scratched, strained voice is off-putting to some, but in terms of the sound the band are aiming to achieve, it couldn't work better. When the chorus comes around, Chuck is backed by Chris, both weaving in and out of each other's lines, screaming at the top of their voice, not because they can, but because it is necessary for making the song what it is; it would be lazy to not put the feeling that they do into it. All the while, they do not overpowering each other, or any other band member for that matter.
It is this concept of musicianship that separates them from other emo bands: On it's own, no particular part is able to express even a fraction of what the band achieves when all are combined. Which isn't to say that each member of HWM is not outstanding, the bass player Jason Black is particularly talented, many songs are centred around his agile, jazzy licks and lines.
The album works best on vinyl, split into two halves. Not only is this the way the band intended (the liner notes claim that the CD copy is for professional use only), but it divides the album nicely: nothing is more solid than the first side of the record, I would not change a thing about the order of tracks. The second side is less impressive, but is worth it for North & About and the final track, Drunken Third.
Overall, I would recommend this album for fans of punk music, who are open to the more emotional side of hardcore. At first the album can be a bit inaccessible due to the roughness of the vocalists (yes, both of them), but is ultimately rewarding, as is the rest of their catalogue. Thanks for reading

It's just tough guy gruff guy emo anthems that reminds me of Fugazi if they liked to get drunk all the time. I find HWM a bit underwhelming overall, but this album is really topnotch, especially the bass playing.

i used to love this record as well. their singles were the best thing they ever released. i probably saw them more than i saw any other band.

I'd place their overall output a notch above similar bands. Apparently they're really good live.
thery were just like social distortion only trying to fit into dischord.
No way man, waaaaaay better than SD.
not a scratch on mommy's little monster; the rest of their albums, i can believe you.
Fair enough, makes sense.

i think they went downhill after they signed to epitaph. not saying because they signed to the label, but they tried to get more radio friendly after they did. i bought the first epitaph record the day it came out and was so disappointed by it.
so when's the next "emo classics" thread? have you only heard three "emo" records that you like?
I never enjoyed hotwatermusic's albums. I will give me a second listen

Continuity of healthcare refers to the ability for multiple points of care to deal seamlessly with a patient. Tools for improving continuity of care, such as patient Electronic Health Records, need to draw on information from diverse information systems. However, reliable sharing of information across systems is known to be a difficult problem. An approach to information integration that is possible when there is a controlling organisation or a consensus amongst partners is to enforce compliance of new information systems with a master model. This requires a feasible and reliable way to check whether the data structures of a target information system conform to those of the master system. A method based on the mathematical category theory has been previously proposed. This paper describes the underlying model and investigates a stricter definition of compliance that could be employed with Electronic Health Records. It then outlines implementation in a semi-automated compliance checking system.

Republicans Should Be Working Double Time To Secure The Black Vote
Augusta, Ga USA - 12 14 20: It`s about us street sign, on the reverse is Black voters matter
Star Parker on November 26, 2022
Among the key headlines from the 2022 election were gains by Republicans among minority voters.
According to the AP VoteCast survey, Republican House candidates got 14% of the black vote, almost twice the 8% of the black vote that Republicans captured in 2020 and 2018.
The difference between the percentage of black votes that Democrats got compared to Republicans was 68 points, compared to a difference of 83 points in the 2020 election and 82 points in 2018.
This was even more pronounced among younger black voters, ages 18-44, where the difference between percentage voting Democrat and Republican was 54 points, compared to 76 points in 2020 and 75 in 2018.
The Republican Party is most aggressively taking root among younger black voters.
Per Pew Research, 28% of black Republicans are ages 18-29, compared to 17% of black Democrats and 10% of white Republicans.
My own sense is that younger blacks are less inclined to think of themselves primarily by race and less inclined to think of their future in terms of racial group identity politics.
Pew Research data shows 58% of black Republicans say that their race is an "extremely or very important" aspect of their personal identity. This compared to 82% of black Democrats.
Twenty one percent of black Republicans, compared to 6% of black Democrats, say their race is of little or no importance to their personal identity.
Also worth noting is that 50% of black Republicans live in lower-income households.
So, in general, black Republicans tend to be younger and poorer.
This makes sense. These younger Black Americans are thinking about their future and have a sense of realism that their future is about their own efforts as opposed to racially driven government programs.
Per Pew, 45% of black Republicans, compared to 21% of black Democrats, are more likely to say that the future of black Americans depends on their own efforts. About half as many black Republicans compared to black Democrats — 44% versus 73% — see racial discrimination as the main barrier to black progress and achievement.
So, change is underway, and this is good news. More in the upcoming generation of black Americans see themselves as the civil rights movement wanted all Black Americans to be seen — as unique individuals.

But this change must be greater and faster to slow and stop the leftward movement of the country.
Per analysis from the Brookings Institution, in 2022, among voters 65+, 76.3% were white; ages 45-54, 68.2% were white; ages 30-44, 62.2% were white; and 18-29, 56% were white.
This demographic snapshot shows the future ethnic profile of the country. It is becoming dramatically less white.
In 2022, 72% of voters were white, and 58% of them voted Republican, accounting for 42% of the overall Republican vote. If the overall profile looked like it does among 18-29 voters, 56% white rather than 72%, with no change in the percentage voting
Republican, 58%, white voters would be delivering 32% of Republican votes rather than 42%.
It should be clear that with the percentage of the American population dramatically shifting to non-white Americans, there must be a corresponding dramatic increase in the percentage of non-white Americans voting for Republicans or we can expect the country to continue to transform to big government and moral relativism.
Despite the improvements, 14% of black voters and 39% of Hispanic voters voting Republican in 2022, this is not enough.
Republicans should be taking a closer look at the positive dynamics driving young blacks to the Republican Party and use this message to reach more minority Americans.
That is, don't bank your future on racial politics. Every American should be considered a unique individual, personally responsible for their own life.
The job of government is to protect life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness for everyone.

Inflammation Seen in Earliest Stages of Parkinson's Disease, and It Is Different Between Men and Women
FeaturedNeurologyNeuroscienceOpen Neuroscience Articles
· April 29, 2021
Summary: Study finds evidence of inflammation in the blood of patients during the early stages of Parkinson's disease. The findings support the theory that inflammation is a driver of the neurodegenerative disorder. The effect was most noticeable in women with Parkinson's.
Source: UAB
New research shows evidence of inflammation in the blood of Parkinson's disease patients during the earliest stages of the disease, lending support to theories that inflammation is a major driver of PD.
The findings, from researchers at the Alabama Udall Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, were published April 13 in npj Parkinson's Disease, part of the Nature Partner Journal series in partnership with the Parkinson's Foundation.
UAB is one of six National Institutes of Health-funded Morris K. Udall Centers of Excellence in Parkinson's Disease Research.
"There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that inflammation plays a major role in the development and progression of Parkinson's disease," said David Standaert, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the UAB Department of Neurology in the School of Medicine and senior author of the study. "This is one of the first studies to pinpoint inflammation in the blood in patients with early PD, supporting the idea that systemic immune system activation is present early in PD."
Standaert also says the study revealed interesting differences in the inflammation signature in women compared to men. While PD is much more common in men, there is increasing evidence that there are also other differences between the sexes in the symptoms and course of the disease. The findings bolster the idea that different approaches to treatment are needed based on the sex of the patient.
The study enrolled 34 patients, 21 males and 13 females. Eighteen had early Parkinson's disease and 16 were healthy age-matched controls. Those with PD were within two years of symptom onset and had not begun taking anti-Parkinsonian medications.
"The majority of studies into the role of inflammation in PD have been conducted in patients with long-standing disease and wide variations in disease severity. Most had also received a number of different treatments for the disease," said first author Samantha Carlisle, Ph.D., with the UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science.
"We looked at newly diagnosed patients to improve our understanding of whether inflammation is present early on, or develops as the disease progresses."
The study examined blood monocytes, cells that are derived from bone marrow, which have been linked to the development of PD. They appear to have a central role in immune signaling through engulfing, processing and presenting foreign antigens for recognition by the adaptive arm of the immune system, thus turning on the immune system in the presence of PD.
The research team used molecular approaches to examine the state of activation of peripheral blood monocytes in human PD. They found evidence of inflammation in blood monocytes, with an unexpectedly strong effect in women.
"We found that there was a striking effect of sex on monocyte gene expression, with increased inflammatory activation of monocytes in females with PD," said Hongwei Qin, Ph.D., associate professor in the UAB Department of Cell, Integrated and Developmental Biology.
The study bolsters the idea that inflammation is linked to Parkinson's disease, and points to differences in how men and women respond to the disease. Credit: UAB
"In males, the activation patterns were more diverse. This indicates the importance of systemic monocyte activation in PD, and the importance of studies which examine how men and women respond in different ways to the disease."
The Parkinson's Foundation estimates there are nearly one million people living with Parkinson's disease in the United States and more than 10 million worldwide. Men are 1.5 times more likely to have PD than women.
"In addition to the greater frequency of PD in men, there are other differences between men and women, in frequency of tremor and imbalance, response to medications and cognitive features," Standaert said.
"Identification of an inflammatory signature in the blood of PD patients opens the door to novel approaches to both biomarkers and treatment as well as an increased understanding that therapies for PD need to be tailored to the patient."
Standaert says the study of inflammation in Parkinson's disease is a major focus of the Alabama Udall Center.

Sex-based differences in the activation of peripheral blood monocytes in early Parkinson disease
Increasing evidence supports the role of brain and systemic inflammation in the etiology of Parkinson disease (PD). We used gene expression profiling to examine the activation state of peripheral blood monocytes in 18 patients with early, untreated PD and 16 healthy control (HC) subjects.
Monocytes were isolated by negative selection, and gene expression studied by RNA-seq and gene set enrichment analysis.
A computational model that incorporated case/control status, sex, and the interaction between case/control status and sex was utilized.
We found that there was a striking effect of sex on monocyte gene expression. There was inflammatory activation of monocytes in females with PD, with enrichment of gene sets associated with interferon gamma stimulation. In males, the activation patterns were more heterogeneous.
These data point to the importance of systemic monocyte activation in PD, and the importance of studies which examine the differential effects of sex on pathophysiology of the disease.

Jersey City overcharged property owners for the arts trust tax, but says the rebate will arrive in the next bill
By Denise S. Cook	 On Sep 27, 2021
Jersey City landowners were overcharged by 800% for the new arts and culture tax on their property tax bill, a situation which city officials said was an administrative error.
In March, city council passed an ordinance setting the levy of tax on the arts and culture trust fund at a quarter of a cent per $ 100 of total real estate valued by the municipality. But when residents received their property tax bills, they soon realized they had to pay 2 cents for every $ 100, which meant the average homeowner was billed $ 96 for what should have been. a tax assessment of $ 12.
Mayor Steve Fulop said Monday that as a result of the error, homeowners will benefit from an "additional $ 88 reduction in their taxes on the average assessment of $ 480,000."
"This new reduction will be reflected in the fourth quarter tax bill that we send out the second week of October," Fulop wrote on Facebook. "We are so proud that we were able to reduce municipal taxes by $ 1,000 for the average homeowner and this credit further reduces taxes to help families in Jersey City."
Adam Cohen, 34, who lives in Journal Square, said looking at his tax bill and seeing that it was overcharged by the city, he thought, "Is it again?" He said the mayor was doing it like it was another tax cut, but it isn't. "
"I would like an explanation," Cohen said. "It's a little unbelievable to me that we are talking about this good news that the city's tax assessor messed up. It is not good news. It is a little offensive that the mayor is sort of celebrating a mistake that adds an additional tax burden to people. "
When city council passed the ordinance in March, it set the tax at a quarter of a dime per $ 100, but council can vote to increase the levy to 2 cents per $ 100 in the future. In the latest tax bill, the city's tax assessor mistakenly charged people at the high end of the tax bracket, $ 0.02 per $ 100, the mayor said.
Residents of Jersey City voted in a referendum to create the arts trust fund last November to support various arts initiatives including music, dance, fine arts, graphic design, cinema, digital media and other media.
The assessor's office declined to comment and directed all questions to city spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione, who said the tax error would not affect funding for artists and arts organizations. local.
Wallace-Scalcione notes that this is the first time in the state that an arts trust fund has been created "and that this is the first time that a city in New Jersey has had an arts trust fund. , it is not surprising to have mistakes along the way. But the important thing is that we correct them quickly, that's what's happening here. "
This is the second time in a few months that residents have been overcharged by the city. In July, the city suspended its controversial 'water tax', or solid waste tax, in which residents were charged for garbage pickup and recycling based on their water usage and got slammed. exorbitant bills.
Frank Gilmore, owner of Educational Gilmore Community Learning Center, asked when the city administration will assume its responsibilities. He said it was a shame as some people in the city live paycheck to paycheck.
Gilmore added that there needs to be oversight of tax implementation for residents, as this is the second time in 90 days that there has been an issue.
"It's the same with the (water) tax, 'Oh, we thought they were going to do it at this rate,' said Gilmore, who is running for the Ward F council seat. will tell you one thing, they are not wrong and send no one extra money. "

Hikers rejoice! Diamond Head State Monument offers breathtaking views overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Honolulu. In fact the view is so good, it was used by the US military as a post for preventing attacks against Honolulu.
The trail takes you to the edge of a 300,000 year old crater. While the hike isn't that long in terms of distance, it can be somewhat challenging due to its ascent. Parts of the trail are over uneven rock, and the 99 steps near the end of the hike are steep. Also, the only water fountains are at the beginning of the trail, so you'll want to bring a water bottle or bottled water to stay hydrated.
If you plan to hike at Diamond Head State Monument, make sure you arrive enough. While the the gates to the park close at 6:00 PM, no one is permitted to hike after 4:30 PM, as the hike takes about a 1.5-2 hours (round trip). Parking is limited and the park can get busy, so it's recommended that you arrive well before the 4:30 PM cutoff.

Palmar hyperhidrosis or sweaty hands can be treated with natural ingredients available at home. Herbs and vitamins present in food items are very effective in treating sweaty hands. Epsom salt present at home can be used effectively to treat sweaty hands. Proper diet is another important remedy which you should never ignore.
You can drink sage tea to reduce sweating of your hand. Some food items must be avoided such as beef, onion, liver etc to remove sweat from your palms permanently. Soaking hands in tea solution is also effective. You can now know about the various home remedies for sweaty hands in detail from the below mentioned points.
Sometimes, medicines cannot cure many such diseases which can easily be cured by the home remedies. However, many a time we ignore such remedies. One of the most effective home remedies of sweat hand is soaking them in a tea solution. This process must be continued for a period of 20 to 30 minutes in a day and this should be done on a regular basis without failure. The best time to carry out this procedure is just before going to bed.
Many a time due to the excessive body heat the palms sweat profusely. Keep the palms in front of a fan or an air conditioner. This cools off the sweat totally. Then sprinkle some amount of talcum powder on the palms to absorb the sweat temporarily. Also, this removes any unwanted smell from the palms imparting a wonderful odor to the hands. Practicing this several times in a day can help a lot to get rid of the sweaty hands.
Epsom salt is a traditional ingredient available at home. It is popularly used for salt bath. And it is highly effective as a home remedy for sweaty hands. For this, you have to mix two to three tablespoon of such salt in the glass of warm water. The water should not be very hot such that it does not burn your skin. But, it should also be sufficient to dissolve the salts inside water. Then, you must soak your hands in the solution.
Tomato acts as a wonderful home remedy for sweaty hands. The juice extracted from the tomatoes is extremely helpful for the skin. Tomato juice is a rich source of vitamins and minerals.
And deficiency of these nutrients is the major cause of sweaty hands. Thus, in order to get rid of the sweaty hands, tomato juice is extremely beneficial and is an effective home remedy.
Boric powder is very commonly found at home. You can easily sprinkle an amount of boric powder on your hands where sweat droplets get accumulated. This prevents the sweat droplets from getting accumulated. This must be applied at night before going to sleep. And it is highly important to carry out this exercise regularly without failing even for a single day in order to get effective results.
It might take some time to get cured. However, this is definitely an important remedy for sweaty hands. Home remedies are very effective to cure the severe problem of sweaty hands. You must try the above mentioned remedies that suit your condition the best.

Q: What is the motivation for $l^p$ space? I'm studying $L^p$,$l^p$ spaces recently, but I don't see the motivation for this. The only application I know is that $l^2$ can be used to characterize Hilbert spaces up to dimension. Is $L^p$ spaces just for recreational mathematics.
I also don't see why $l^p$ is invented. Moreover, I know that $l^2(\mathbb{N})$ and $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ are isometrically isomorphic, but I'm curious when $l^2$ is much useful to analyze and when $L^2$ is much useful to analyze the structure.
Thank you in advance.

Q: Break down Simple Moving Average formula I am new to Mathematics and understanding formulas - I'm currently trying to break down the Simple Moving Average formula  from  Wikipedia but struggling.
I understand in practice how to calculate it, but I am struggling to really grasp an understanding of the formula below:
$\displaystyle\overline p_{\displaystyle{SM}}=\frac{p_{\displaystyle{M}}+p_{\displaystyle{M}-1}+\cdots+p_{\displaystyle{M}-\displaystyle(n-1)}}{n}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}p_{\displaystyle{M}}-i$
Could somebody break this formula  down for me and explain it piece by piece?  Preferably in both English and Math so I can piece the two together.

A: You are looking at the simple moving average with window length of $n$. This formula is relevant to variable that forms a sequence. Meaning the quantity that you are studying should have some sense of order in it. For example stock prices, temperature during the day, from such series.
So simply speaking you have a sequence $(p_k)$ where $k$ is a natural number $1,2,3,...$
SMA of window $n$ is defined for the sequence $(p_k)$ for all values of $k\ge n$. Now basically you take sum of $n-1$ past values and the current value and divide by $n$ to get the moving average.
Tell me if any of this is not clear.

A: Think of the indices as time periods. For example, M could be month 50, or day 300. n represents the number of periods you wish to use to compute the average. For example, with monthly periods you might want to use n = 12 to get an average over the last year.
In the monthly example, pM is then the value of the observation in time period M = 50, and pM - (n - 1) is the value of the observation in time period 50 - (12 - 1) = 50 - 11 = 39. So you sum up the observations in time periods 39 to 50 and divide by the number of observations, which is just a simple average of the last 12 months.
The words "moving" in simple moving average comes from the fact that M moves forward with time, so when next month rolls around, M becomes 51 and you sum up the periods from 40 to 51 and divide by n, which tends to stay fixed.
Keep in mind that the formula applies to arbitrary time periods (e.g., nanoseconds or millenia) and is not restricted to time series. For example, M could represent  a position in space and one may want to analyze an average quantity as position is incremented one unit at a time.


A strong rebound in the sterling is now prompting EUR/GBP to quickly retrace the earlier advance and return to the 0.7900 neighbourhood.
The European cross has rapidly surrendered more than 50 pips, falling from fresh 2016 highs near 0.7950 to briefly dip to sub-0.7900 levels. In addition, better-than-expected Retail Sales in the UK during February have also lent support to the British pound, collaborating with the downside.
There are no further scheduled releases in the euro area and the UK economy today, leaving all the attention to the US docket and the risk appetite trends.
The European cross is now losing 0.21% at 0.7902 and a breakdown of 0.7805 (20-day sma) would expose 0.7726 (55-day sma) and then 0.7650 (post-ECB low Mar.10). On the flip side, the next up barrier aligns at 0.7948 (2016 high Mar.24) followed by 0.8007 (monthly high Dec.16 2014) and finally 0.8041 (monthly high Nov.19 2014).

The Last Outlaws (Kobo eBook)
By Thom Hatch
The Old West was coming to an end. Two legendary outlaws refused to go with it.
As leaders of the Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid executed the most daring bank and train robberies of their day. For several years at the end of the 1890s, the two friends, along with a revolving band of thieves, eluded law enforcement while stealing from the rich bankers and Eastern railroad corporations who exploited Western land…until they rode headlong into the twentieth century.
In The Last Outlaws, Thom Hatch brings these memorable characters to life like never before. From their early holdup attempts to that fateful day in Bolivia, Hatch draws on a wealth of fresh research to go beyond the myth and provide a compelling new look at these legends of the Wild West.

The compaction of protein at low pH occurs due toPLOS A MedChemExpress 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 single | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0126811 Could 12,11 /Characterization of Chi-Class Synechocystis GSTthe deionization of polar amino acid residues present in the interior in the protein that results in a lower in electrostatic repulsions; this has been observed in numerous proteins [49, 50]. This further indicates that the uncommon stability of sll0067 may be because of the desirable charge-charge interactions present within the protein. The binding of GSH for the protein was investigated by monitoring the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence from the enzyme. The substrate binding results in partial quenching of the fluorescence intensity because of direct interactions amongst the bound GSH plus the indolefluorophore of your tryptophan [36, 51, 52]. We monitored the tryptophan fluorescence intensity on the sll0067 at several pH values. Partial quenching with the tryptophan fluorescence intensity was observed between pH 7.0 and 8.0, indicating the binding of GSH to the protein at these pH values. This result indicates that at non-physiological pH, the GSH molecule just isn't capable to bind for the protein as a result of charge alterations and thus, the protein does not show functional activity at these pHs. Refining our understanding of protein stability is essential for understanding protein structure, folding and function. The conformational stability of proteins depends on a delicate balance of a number of forces and interactions. Electrostatic interactions are well known to impact protein stability and may be both stabilizing and destabilizing. The electrostatic interactions in proteins might not be optimized for maximal stability resulting from functional restrains. Therefore, studies on pH-dependent protein stability will not be only useful in understanding the detailed balance on the forces and interactions in proteins but can also indicate the distinct electrostatic interactions and functionally important charged groups. The pH dependence in the stability of proteins is linked thermodynamically for the pKa values of titrable groups in the native and unfolded states. The degree of interactions between an ionizable residue as well as the rest of the protein in its native or denatured types determines its titration properties. The pKa values depend, in turn, on charge-charge, charge-dipole, H-bonds and desolvation effects within the native and unfolded states. Most proteins unfold at low or higher pHs (beneath five and above 10) simply because the folded protein has groups buried in non-ionized type that will ionize only immediately after unfolding, particularly the His and Tyr residues that tend to result in unfolding at acid and alkaline pH, respectively. The higher stability of sll0067 may be because of the constructive charge-charge and chargedipole interactions which might be vital for preserving the 3D structure from the protein. Further, we have attempted to solve the crystal structure of sll0067 so as to much better understand the precise molecular basis of stability of this unique protein also as elucidating the active internet site residues involved in the catalysis.Supporting InformationS1 Fig. Secondary structure prediction for sll0067.

OpenShot محرر فيديو | Slow it Down! No Wait! Speed it Up!
Written by Jonathan on 16 يوليو، 2009 .
You can choose between 1/16 speed all the way to 16x speed. If you need more precision than a simple dropdown, use the Advanced mode. Also, the advanced mode can go slower than 1/16 and faster than 16x... if you need that.
Unfortunately, when you are not in "Normal Speed", there is no audio support. In other words, you can't slow motion audio or speed it up yet. This is a MLT limitation, but they are aware that this feature is wanted / needed.
When you slow down the speed of a clip, it increases the size of the clip on the timeline. When you speed up a clip, it decreases the size of the clip on the timeline. Make sense? Oh yeah, if a clip is going to increase in size, the OUT is magically adjusted to remain the same as before, so it won't go and overlap other clips to the right. But because the clip IS longer now, you can still adjust the OUT with the resize tool, or with our new advanced trim controls!
The "Length" tab on the clip properties window lets you adjust the IN and OUT with great precision. Maybe too much precision! However, if you decide you only want to hear the audio of a clip, or only see the video, you can use the "General" tab on the clip properties window. These are the same toggles that are available on the timeline (i.e. the icons on the clips).
You can also set the direction of a clip (forward / reverse). Although... just a warning, this seems a bit buggy with MLT. Especially if you slow down a clip, and then set it's direction to reverse.

Cleveland promised simple distance with the Launcher and it certainly delivered. It was our test pro's longest carrying hybrid (229 yards), even though it wasn't his favourite model. It registered amongst the top 3 hybrids for ball speed and carry distance for our two amateurs too, which shows the Launcher's credantials.
All three testers thought the shaft felt quite long (which in part is down to the tip section being white), which we thought would zap a bit of confidence for a few golfers. The majority of club golfers who want a forgiving hybrid to launch from the turf probably wouldn't want the long head to be any narrower either. The loud high-pitched impact sound of the original Launcher (due to the body vibrating at impact) has been completely reworked and stiffened to improve acoustics and energy transfer for this latest model.
Cleveland only came back to the equipment market last year after focusing on wedges and putters for a few years. The Launcher hybrid, like the driver, fairway and irons is a very decent option, for reasonable money. Fitting options are deliberately limited for the whole Launcher family, as Cleveland reckon they've optimized each to go from rack to range without the need for fitting. So long as you try them on a launch monitor first and prove they work for you before making a purchase, they're a very solid choice for 2018.

Aeroplan has once again brought back their partner transfer bonus that we saw last November and last spring. Basically what it entails is transferring points out of other select loyalty programs into your Aeroplan account. Just like in November, the offer is once again cumulative across all participating partners. That is, you can transfer from partners like CIBC, Starwood, Hertz and more (see the last graphic) and as long as the total Aeroplan miles deposited from all of them reaches one of the bonus target levels you will be awarded the respective bonus miles.
And just like last November, American Express Membership Rewards is unfortunately not included. so chances are I will not use the promo this time.
