So first off in the 'Wellnhofer' series, Mark Witton takes time out of his busy schedule of not frantically finishing his PhD (since he's actually done it now – well done again Mark) to tell us about a fantastically well, broken, pterosaur that he and Dave Martill have described. It's not often busted pterosaurs are that interesting so take it away, Dr Witton:
For shame, I've only ever read one Sherlock Holmes story: The hound of the Baskervilles. I did enjoy it thoroughly: it's a dead-good read and very hard to put down, so I thoroughly encourage you to track it down and read it for yourself if you've not done so already. Baskervilles reads in the highly accessible manner typical of other Conan Doyle tales: noble, relatively straightforward characters performing muted acts of heroism, a clearly and precisely delivered plot with elements of the fantastic but a firm foothold on reality, a sprinkling of Edwardian righteousness and the sensation that, although things may look a bit hairy before the novel ends, everything will work out all right by the final page. Being my first Holmes story, it was interesting to note that everyone's favourite sleuth was presented in more-or-less exactly the manner you might expect, with his best party trick being his ability to deduce the habits of other characters with only a cursory glance of their appearance. You know: with a single look at your walking stick he could figure out where you work, where you live, whether you went to public school and which member of Girls Aloud you fancy most. That sort of thing.
Now, it seems to me that sleuthing abilities of that calibre would be very handy to have in real-life. Not only would it mean that you could, immediately, figure out who really did steal your last Rolo but, as a palaeontologist, it would make certain fossils make so much more sense. Enter, stage left, the strange mystery of SMNK PAL 4330…
An unassuming limestone nodule from the Santana Formation of Brazil, SMNK PAL 4330 kept both myself and my former PhD supervisor Dave Martill scratching our heads for some time. Within the nodule, see, is the skull and two partial neck vertebrae from a pterosaur known as Tupuxuara leonardii: for those of you who don't know, Tupuxuara is a sail-crested pterosaur found exclusively in Lower Cretaceous deposits of Brazil, and is closely related to the larger Thalassodromeus, the critter all that reinvigorated all that skim-feeding nonsense a while back. SMNK PAL 4330 contains the bones of a juvenile individual, with an estimated skull length of about 30 cm or thereabouts (other Tupuxuara skulls are over twice this length – take a look at the accompanying picture to see just how much bigger SMNK PAL 4330 could've got). While this is moderately interesting in itself, the real intrigue of this specimen is that the pterosaur remains look like they've been run over by a truck: the rostrum has been shoved back into the nasoantorbital fenestra (the big hole in some pterosaur skulls formed by a fusion between the naris and another pneumatic opening); the cranium has been smashed to smithereens beneath the topmost margin of the eye socket; the palate of the mouth has broken away from the rest of the skull and the lower jaw – the mandible – has been broken in two places to lie in three separate pieces. Simply put, it's a real mess, and Dave and I spent longer than I'm willing to admit trying to figure out just what happened to it. We could draw several conclusions about the fossil: it's clear, for instance, that the animal was either dead or close to death when its skull smashed: if the animal was alive during the event that smashed its skull, you can bet that it wasn't alive for much longer after. We can also deduce that some degree of soft tissue had to be left on the skull, or else all these separate fragments would've disassociated: this also suggests that the event happened with some temporal proximity to the animal's death (soft-tissue rots away over time, after all). As for the nature of the damage, the oblique breaks across the mandible and the telescoping and microfracturing of the rostrum indicate that the skull received a very forceful impact from the front: while it's possible that two separate events could've independently snapped the mandible and skull, it's far more likely that the same event did both. Finally, being found in what was once the Santana Formation lagoon, the skull occurred in an environment where the nearest shoreline was several kilometres away. Hence, the skull had either drifted some distance from land or else the catastrophe had happened on the lagoon itself.
Thing is, these deductions don't really tell us what woe befell SMNK PAL 4330 on their own. Instead, Dave and I did our best Holmes impressions with deer-stalkers, calabash pipes and the most spiffing morphine available* to rationalise several different hypotheses that could've resulted in SMNK PAL 4330 becoming the mess it is. With night drawing in and the storm intensifying outside the drawing room windows, we confronted each of our hypotheses head on, keeping in mind that SMNK PAL 4330 could record a dark, dark pterosaurian murder (thunder rumbles, lightning flashes), a terrible, grave accident (more thunder), or, most innocently, simply violent transportation to its site of deposition (er… slight intensification of the rain on the window panes). So, my figurative Watson, light your pipe, sit back in your lounge suit and let's see if we can't get to the bottom of this bizarre mystery.
*Not really. We just drank lots of coffee.

A, main slab; B, counter-slab; C, interpretive drawing of main slab (Cv, cervical vertebrae; Fr, frontal; L, lacrimal; Mdr, mandibular rami; Mds, mandibular symphysis; Nas, nasal; Pal, palate; Pmx, premaxilla); D, cross section of counter-slab revealing histology of mandibular rami (section taken along dotted line in B; arrows indicate thickened bone walls identified as dorsal margins of mandibular rami); E - F, tentative reconstruction of skull (light grey) based on preserved elements (dark grey). E, based main slab; F, based on counter-slab. Scale bars represent 50 mm (A - C, E - F) and 5 mm (D).
Hypothesis number one: predation/scavenging by other animals
There are shedloads of fossils that demonstrate pterosaurs were devoured by other animals. Bony fish, sharks and dinosaurs have all left unquestionable evidence of their taste for pterosaur meat: regurgitated, partially-digested pterosaur bones; tooth marks, or shed teeth embedded in pterosaur skeletons. Hence, it's entirely plausible that SMNK PAL 4330 could represent a pterosaur that was chewed on by another animal. If this were the case, it's clear that this pterosaur-muncher had to be a large animal: it's hard to imagine how a small carnivore could've have broken the skull of even this half-size Tupuxuara so spectacularly. Happily, there are some good candidates for pterosaur devourers from the same deposits as Tupuxuara: the enormous spinosaur Irritator (a dinosaur known to have a taste for pterosaurs, too), a respectably-sized crocodile and several species of fish that would impress even the most world-weary anglers. Any one of these probably would have enough bite force to shatter a lightly constructed pterosaur skull, and Dave particularly liked the idea of a fish or crocodile grabbing our hapless Tupuxuara while it flew low over the Santana lagoon. Problem is, there's no evidence of digestion, shed teeth, tooth marks or, basically, any calling cards left by any predatory animal on the pterosaur remains. What's more, the telescoping of the rostum and transverse fractures across the mandible may be hard to generate by biting actions that would, presumably, splinter the skull from its sides or top and bottom. Thus, predatory acts have to be rejected because, being evidence-led scientists and all, we simply have no supportive evidence for this idea.
Hypothesis number two: trampling
As scuffed shoes and battered toes across the world can testify, animals – including people – aren't always too careful where they land their feet. Is it possible that SMNK PAL 4330 assumed such a roadkill-like appearance because it was run-over by a large animal? Well, that certainly may explain why the cranium is so entirely shattered: there really is barely anything recognisable left beneath the top margin of the eye socket, suggesting it could well have been smashed to nothingness by the footfall of a giant dinosaur or summit. However, it's hard to imagine how the trampling would push the skull and mandible back on themselves, save for some very, very particular circumstances. Equally, apart from the major breaks on the specimen, the bone is actually in pretty good shape – there isn't any of the radial fracturing or breakage you would expect from a skull that was stood on by another animal. Hence, trampling also looks unlikely and, with predatory acts also ruled out, it looks like other animals had little to do with the creation of this pterosaurian Picasso.
Hypothesis number three: violent post-mortem transportation
When an animal dies, it's rare for its remains to lie totally undisturbed. Even without the effects of decay and scavenging, water flow, gravity and other abiotic environmental factors have their say on the final resting place of animal remains, and sometimes the movement of bones or carcasses can be violent and traumatic. It's certainly conceivable that SMNK PAL 4330 was battered about a rocky shoreline or riverbed by swirling, tempestuous currents or floodwaters: these events would easily generate the kind of forces necessary to shatter the cranium and force the jawtips back on themselves. Is there any evidence for this, though? Well, not really: as well as the major fracturing of seen across the skull, we'd expect signs of other, minor damage too: radial microfracturing, abraded bone textures – that sort of thing. What's more, the Santana lagoon shows no sedimentological evidence of 'high energy conditions' – that is, high current velocities, storm activity and such. There's therefore little reason, my good friend, to suspect that SMNK PAL 4330 was simply given a rough ride en route to its final resting place.
Hypothesis number five: skim-feeding
Forwardly-derived, high impact forces? Occurring over water? Could it be… finally… the evidence for pterosaurian skim-feeding?
Don't. Be. Stupid.
Hypothesis number five: 'the ground is a hard target to miss'
So, what're we left with? There seems to be no evidence of activity from other animals, nor is there any indication that the Santana environment mistreated SMNK PAL 4330 prior to its settlement at the base of the Santana lagoon. What else, then, could've churned the specimen into such a mess? Well, it seems to me that a single, severe, forwardly-derived impact like that recorded on SMNK PAL 4330 might have originated from the animal simply flying into something, smashing its skull to pieces and killing itself in the process. This meets the criteria for the catastrophe to coincide roughly with the time of the animals death, the retention of so much soft-tissue to hold all the loose skull fragments together and the absence of smaller-scale damage to individual skull components. What's more, we can see similar damage in modern bird skulls that have flown into windows. Birds that have suffered such trauma show busted mandibles and telescoped rostra like those of SMNK PAL 4330 and subsequently lend some support to this idea. However, there probably weren't many windows around in the Lower Cretaceous, and the only other head-on avian collisions I'm familiar with are between said birds and aircraft: there weren't many of those around in the Mesozoic either. Hence, while I reckon the fracture signatures of SMNK PAL 4330 suggest a head-on collision, I'm a bit perplexed as to how this event may have happened beyond suggesting that the pterosaur simply blundered into the ground. That said, you just don't see modern animals blindly flying into things nowadays (windows and planes excepted, the former being almost invisible and the latter flying into relatively slow-flying birds), so I'm still not entirely convinced. However, in spite of own scepticism, I just can't see how else the skull could've ended up in such a mess: the other hypotheses are simply not as consistent with the damage to the skull as this one. I suppose I could do well to take on board one final bit of wisdom from that Mr. Holmes: "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".
So, that's your SMNK PAL 4330, then: a strangely messed-up pterosaur skull that confounds explanation but may, if our reasoning is sound, record an astronomical pterosaur blunder. Whatever did happen to this critter, it appears to be a rarity: as far as I'm aware, there aren't any other pterosaur skulls like it anywhere, suggesting we've got a genuine fluke of preservation. On that note, I suppose it's time to sleuth off elsewhere to solve some other mysteries. Top of my list: just what will I cook for dinner tonight? Someone fetch my pipe and deerstalker: I suspect my first clues will lie at the supermarket.
Oh yes, and Happy New Year to you all, too.

Is it possible that this juvenile was
leaving the nest for the first time?
If the nest was high above a shallow
section of the lagoon, and the poor
wee beastie didn't really understand
how to use its wings, it may have simply
fallen straight down and met the ground
nose-first.
4 David Hone 07/01/2009 at 11:15 am
I think it's far too large to be a hatchling (though I'll let Mark discuss that), but pterosaurs were probably precocious and left the nest (and were flying) shortly after hatching, and no hatchling would be half the size of the adult.
5 Mark Witton 07/01/2009 at 7:58 pm
Yup, I agree with Dave. If Tupuxuara grew like other pterodactylodis it would've taken a couple of years to reach half size: given that SMNK PAL 4330 is about 40 per cent of adult size, it's probably at least – and perhaps well over – a year old (again, assuming a similar growth rate). That would be a long time to hang around in a nest, so I doubt SMNK PAL 4330 is a nestling.

What kind of force of impact would have had to occur for the skull to actually fracture like that? Birds that fly into windows seem to rarely do themselves that kind of extreme damage:
http://www.birdscreen.com/PDF/Klem_AFO_Injuries1990.pdf
Skulls are in general pretty resistant to impacts.
7 Jaime A. Headden 08/01/2009 at 11:38 am
From the look of it, and given that not only are separate sections of the mandible and upper jaw cracked and displaced, which is usuall indicative of transport after fracturing of the parts broken thusly, you have shattered elements in the jaw while the skull is largely intact (i.e., all the parts are in place). Movement of the pieces while retaining stable associations to their parts, but along with what appear to be disintegrated shattered regions implies to me only one thing: The skull was crushed dorsoventrally while the animal was on some form of substrate. Shattering of the mandible, specifically, could imply it was placed between two hard points and simply snapped in three, during this event. I would actually go with the occurance of the skull being caught by a predator and crushed while the jaw was torn around. This could have been pterosaurian or theropodan, or huge-giant-fishian, but whatever.
The idea that the animal hit something really hard face-first doesn't make sense unless you imply the animal was preserved immediately where it hit (face-first diving? I thought you were avoiding skimmer hypotheses?), and even in which case the upper jaw should be subject to the same forces that seem to have torn the lower jaw around. Contrarily, falling straight down while parallel to the substrate (or surface watter) will pulverize tissue indiscriminately, and bones tend not to stay intact for much of their length at all.
The skull actually resembles the acts of scavenging that many fossils from the Niobrara Sea end up in, as well as dessication of exposed bits that are torn up by primary predators. This usually leaves all sorts of large bones intact along with soft tissue since primary predators go for the limbs and internal regions, while secondary predators finish the innards, limbs, and move on to the bones. This is as true of aquatic and terrestrial predators (or aerial in the case of vultures, but they feed terrestrially). So in this case, the nodule looks like postmortem dessication and predation, and tells us little how the animal actually died.

It's easy to have it hit something.
All you need is a new somewhat floating dead tree, big rock sticking out of a shoal, etc., and a foggy day.
Alternatively, you have maneuvering limitations due to the presence of other, larger, pterosaurs, and the little guy getting the bad choice. (I will only go for a mid-air if you've got the other pterosaur fossil, too. 🙂
Also, there's no available soft-tissue data, and while it is rare for healthy volant animals to fly into things, there's no particular reason the specimen in question was necessarily healthy; if it had the mesozoic version of brain-worms or something, flight control could have been compromised.

Thanks for sharing this mystery!
You said it: "an astronomical pterosaur blunder."
Maybe it got in the way of an impactor – not THE impactor, but a small one, a bolide already well-decelerated in its passage through atmosphere – imagine this Tupuxuara hearing the whistling shriek from behind/above, turning its head to look round, then WHAM!
Ok. As a more earthbound explanation, maybe it misjudged depth of a puddle where it saw (or thought it saw) a fish to spear? Or dived for a near-surface fish the very moment a big hard-shelled or bony-headed predator from below gulped it first, getting in the way…
Or is the fishing idea out altogether (not just the skimming idea – which I agree is out, as well-argued by Naish and Witton)?
If it flew into something wouldn't the very tip of the bill be extra smashed/blunted, or something? is it? by the answer, can we guess then the consistency of what it hit (if it hit)? (ie a substrate resilient/tough (like flesh/hide), or, penetrable but resistive (like mud/gravel), or hard and unyielding (like shell, or rock)?) Do the vertebrae give any clues to the impact angle/force?
Did this body of water ever freeze? Could the Tupuxuara have hit ice where it expected only water? Or was it a tropical environment? Could a hurricane or twister have flung it at something hard, or vice-versa?
As you may tell, I am guessing wildly, way out of my depth… 😉
Again, Thanks for sharing this mystery!

in Git for Windows environment, we don't have the column command, so I removed it from your script. It worked just fine – except the format was of course not column aligned. But still perfectly useful, and I thank you!
Hi, I have used your guide but i am interested to know how you got over this particular issue : "However, be careful, as git pull by default doesn't pull over all information…" ? I mean if i do clone i can see the size is not shrinking and if i do pull it shrinks BUT i am missing all the branches and tags and maybe something else i have not been aware of. How can i pull into new repo but get ALL information before i push the slimed down repository to my server ?
GIT_DIR=`git rev-parse –git-dir` || exit $?
Now the script works for bare repos too and from any subdir (including the .git itself).
Hi, thanks for your script. I used it to find large files in my git repository. The two largest objects it shows have no SHA and location. What does that mean?
All sizes are in kB's. The pack column is the size of the object, compressed, inside the pack file.
hey – i really need to do this but not sure where this scripts should be saved, what name or how it should be used. i.e. in the repo etc.
Symptom: irrelevant objects are ranked at the top.
Long story short, adding the line below near the beginning of the script is enough to solve this issue.

Calorimetric investigation on the interaction of sodium taurodeoxycholate with human serum albumin
Authors: Bernazzani L., Ferrari C., Gianni P., Mollica V., Tombari E.
Autors Affiliation: Dipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Industriale, Università di Pisa, Via Risorgimento 35, 56126 Pisa, Italy; Istituto Nazionale di Ottica (INO-CNR), Area della Ricerca, via G. Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy; Istituto per i Processi Chimico-Fisici (IPCF-CNR), Area della Ricerca, via G. Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy
Abstract: The interaction between sodium taurodeoxycholate and human serum albumin was investigated in aqueous phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 through ITC titrations at 298.15K and 310.15K and TM-DSC measurements. The analysis of the ITC data required the previous determination of the thermodynamic properties of the self-associated oligomeric species of the bile salt in the buffer solution, according to a literature chemical model. Use of a computer program which allows the simultaneous determination of the stability constants and formation enthalpies of complexes indicated that albumin forms a strong 1-1 (salt to albumin) complex at low bile salt concentration and at least one larger complex at higher concentrations. In these larger complexes the protein seems to cooperatively bind a number of moles of the bile salt which increases with temperature. Thermodynamic data are provided for the formation of the most probable species which include a 4-1 complex at 298.15 K and an additional 9-1 complex at 310.15 K. TM-DSC data, while evidencing the partially reversible nature of the folding unfolding process and the stabilization of the protein by interaction with the bile salt, supported the stoichiometry of the complexes found by analysis of ITC data.

Police issue update on fatal rail accident
4 Jul The two workers who died in yesterday's rail accident appear to have been wearing ear defenders, preventing them from hearing the train approaching, according to British Transport Police.
Superintendent Andy Morgan said: "Following a number of urgent enquiries into this tragic incident, it has been established that the three people were railway workers who were working on the lines at the time."
A 58-year-old man from North Connelly and a 64-year-old man from Kenfig Hill were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
A third person was treated for shock but was uninjured.
"Our thoughts are with their families as they come to terms with this tragic news," said Morgan. Following a number of urgent enquiries into this tragic incident, it has been established that the three people were railway workers who were working on the lines at the time. "The initial stages of the investigation suggest that the two men who died had been wearing ear defenders at the time, tragically, could not hear the passenger train approaching.
"We have a number of officers who remain in the area and we are continuing to work alongside the Rail Accident Investigation Branch to understand the full circumstances of what happened in the moments before this incredibly sad, fatal collision.
"The two men's families have been both informed and we will be providing them with as much help and support as possible through this undoubtedly difficult and distressing time.
"Likewise, we will make sure those who witnessed this traumatic incident, both at the scene and on board the striking train, receive the necessary support they require.
"I would also like to thank those on board the train for their patience and understanding while our officers and colleagues from Wales Ambulance Service responded to the incident today, as well as those affected by the ongoing disruption across the area."


GOD and my son are who I care a lot about.
My life maker and saver.
And certainly more love than anyone is capable of.
Is one of my greatest blessings from GOD, ever!
My joy for being needed, wanted, loved, and appreciated.
So many times, so easily.
And for him to love GOD more than me.
And you know what? GOD actually works with a child.
He loves the idea of GOD and loving Him more.
Anthoni appreciates GOD giving us each other.
No one can compete with these two or compare anywhere near them.

Converse Unveils the Chuck Taylor II. Here's What It Looks Like, and How They'll Market It
Famous sneaker gets an upgrade, but it's optional
By David Gianatasio
Converse gives its product line a fresh kick today, as the Nike brand unveils a new version of its iconic rubber-toed, canvas Chuck Taylor sneaker.
Dubbed the Chuck Taylor All Star II, the line extension marks an effort by Converse to update the shoe for contemporary consumers, while retaining the basic attributes that have made Chucks exceedingly popular, particularly with artists, musicians, designers and other members of the creative crowd.
"The Chuck is nearly 100 years old, and for the most part, it's basically the same sneaker that it's always been," Geoff Cottrill, Converse's vp and general manager of brand and segments, tells Adweek. "We've been spending a lot of time in the last two, three, four years with consumers, asking them, What do they need from us, what do they want?"
Specifically, Converse queried fans what features would get them to wear Chucks "24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year," says Cottrill.
Not surprisingly, improved comfort was a key request, and the Chuck II aims to please via Nike's Lunarlon foam cushioning and extra arch support, as well as a non-slip tongue and perforated micro-suede liner, which lets the shoe "breathe" during extended periods of wear.
"I don't think about it as a rebirth or a restating," says Cottrill. "I look on it as a step forward. Brand and product have to evolve over time with consumer needs in the marketplace. … This isn't a radical change at all."
Indeed, the men's, women's and kid's iterations of the Chuck II are instantly familiar.
The new sneaker is, perhaps, more streamlined, but the telltale All-Star patch, high foxing and monochrome matte eyelets remain.
"It is a perfect time to introduce this new shoe," says Matt Powell, a sports industry analyst at the NPD Group. "We have seen major advances in lightweight and comfortable materials in the last few years. The original Chuck Taylor is stiff and heavy. This new shoe will improve both weight and comfort."
Andy Annunziata, vp of retail solutions and analysis at SportsOneSource, agrees. "From a fashion perspective, it's a fabulous idea," he says. "It's a hot category. 'Lifestyle-Fashion-Athletic' is trending well right now."
Chuck II: Ready for More
Last week, Converse teased the Chuck II, creating enigmatic clips that showcased the "II" in unexpected ways. In one spot from Mr Div, the Roman numerals form a dizzying retro-Dr.-Who-style undulating tunnel. In another from Joe Hamilton, the "II" was rendered in bold illustrated form against a rugged landscape in which the only movement came from ragged clouds covering the sun and the surging water of a lonely stream.
An Anomaly campaign tagged "Ready for More" will support the Chuck II when the shoes go on sale worldwide next week. The work will use all media channels "short of TV," says Cottrill.
It will run in conjunction with Anomaly's "Made by You" campaign for the classic Chuck line. Launched in March, that initiative mixes images of regular folks wearing their Converse sneakers with portraits of Chuck-clad celebrities such as actress Joanna DeLane, musician King Tuff and artist Ron English. Immersive 360-degree images were achieved via Google's Cardboard virtual-reality platform.
Naturally, the Chuck II ads will be designed to appeal to Converse's core creative audience. "I'd go so far as to say that the creative world is responsible for who we are today as a brand," notes Cottrill, though Converse also plans to cast a wide net. "The Chuck is one of those brands that spans multiple generations and all kinds of demographics. So, this isn't the kind of product we're going to target against one particular demographic."
Several sneaker brands have been retooling lately. Both Adidas and its Reebok unit launched major campaigns this year, touting their gear as the perfect fit for average folks dedicated to competing and keeping fit. And Keds this week introduced a Taylor Swift-driven brand platform with a female empowerment theme.
Converse's move runs deeper, as it doesn't just refine the brand message but also extends the company's flagship sneaker. Cottrill says he isn't concerned about diluting the brand and winding up with a New Coke situation, because the Chuck II "takes the core elements of the classic Chuck Taylor and just enhances them."
And of course, the classic model is here to stay. "Not all consumers want a new Chuck. Some people think it's the most comfortable sneaker in the world. We don't plan to take that away," Cottrill says.
Converse has seen an upswing in recent years, boosting revenue 6 percent (14 percent on a constant currency basis) to $435 million in revenue for its fourth quarter ended May 31. For the full fiscal year, revenue rose 18 percent (21 percent in constant currencies) to $2 billion. (Verifiable sales figures for Chucks are hard to come by, but Annunziata says the brand currently ranks among the top five in U.S. athletic footwear market share, according to point-of-sales data compiled by SportScanInfo.)
"We have a tremendous amount of positive momentum in the marketplace right now," says Cottrill. "At the same time, there are some consumer opportunities and consumer needs. We plan to meet those needs."

Many at-risk men still don't take HIV prevention pill
From The Associated Press…
From gritty neighborhoods in New York and Los Angeles to clinics in Kenya and Brazil, health workers are trying to popularize a pill that has proven highly effective in preventing HIV but which — in their view — remains woefully underused.
Marketed in the United States as Truvada, and sometimes available abroad in generic versions, the pill has been shown to reduce the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 90 percent if taken daily. Yet worldwide, only about a dozen countries have aggressive, government-backed programs to promote the pill. In the U.S., there are problems related to Truvada's high cost, lingering skepticism among some doctors and low usage rates among black gays and bisexuals who have the highest rates of HIV infection.
"Truvada works," said James Krellenstein, a New York-based activist. "We have to start thinking of it not as a luxury but as an essential public health component of this nation's response to HIV."
A few large U.S. cities are promoting Truvada, often with sexually charged ads. In New York, "Bare It All" was among the slogans urging gay men to consult their doctors. The Los Angeles LGBT Center — using what it called "raw, real language" — launched a campaign to increase use among young Latino and black gay men and transgender women.
"We've got the tools to not only end the fear of HIV, but to end it as an epidemic," said the center's chief of staff, Darrel Cummings. "Those at risk have to know about the tools, though, and they need honest information about them."
In New York, roughly 30 percent of gay and bisexual men are using Truvada now, up dramatically from a few years ago, according to Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a deputy commissioner of the city's health department.
However, Daskalakis said use among young black and Hispanic men — who account for a majority of new HIV diagnoses — lags behind. To address that, the city is making Truvada readily available in some clinics in or near heavily black and Hispanic neighborhoods.

A Free and Open Course on Data Protection in the Post-GDPR World
By Raoul Plommer
Last year, we published "The Dawn of New Digital Rights for Finnish Citizens," about the launch of the New Digital Rights MOOC, a collaboration between Open Knowledge Finland and the Internet Society's Finland Chapter. Raoul Plommer wrote, "The aim of the project is to make citizens more aware of their digital rights, initially focusing on explaining GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and MyData…through a MOOC platform and series of workshops that create content and train people and organizations to use it." Plommer has written an update on the project:
We have come a long way from the beginning of last year, when we were given funding for the project from Internet Society's Beyond the Net Funding Programme, and Eurooppatiedotus, which is a sub-organization of the Finnish Foreign Ministry.
It took us several months to agree on what is essential to know about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how we would present it to the general public. It was also challenging to get all the content done without actually paying everyone for all their hard work. Both of our funders had a strict limit on how much money could be spent on salaries (15% and 30%). On the other hand, they both allowed paying companies and outsourcing work to people outside the organization, which made the progress unnecessarily tricky, but at least possible.
Here's what we've done:
Seven workshops on creating content, including a larger workshop day after the GDPR day on the 25th of May, with 23 people making data requests to different organizations.
So far, two training workshops, of which one was for students in Tampere, and another for pensioners' IT-trainers in Helsinki. In the latter, they even wrote a blog about the session.
We're still trying to confirm the date for a third training session for Boy Scouts in February, and hopefully will be able to set the date for it next week.
We've received a decent amount of coverage in the media:
Helsingin Sanomat (the biggest newspaper in Finland)
MTV Uutiset
GDPR Today
We're also waiting on another Finnish reporter to go through our course material and write a story about his experience – hopefully it'll happen soon!
Had the launch event on the 15th of January in Eurooppasali.
We've had 2/4 of the introductory/feedback webinars, which take place on Tuesdays, at 16 UTC.
I applied for a session to present our project at RightsCon 2019 and hopefully we'll get accepted!
I also want people to be aware that the license for the whole project is Creative Commons 4.0, which essentially means that we want people to do anything they want with the material, without asking for a separate permission to do so, even for commercial purposes.
Most of all, we want as many people as possible to know their rights and how to exercise them. This is really for all of our benefit.
Do you have a great idea to make your community better via the Internet? Apply for a Beyond the Net grant, which funds projects up to $30,000 USD, and follow Beyond the Net on Twitter!

According to Disneyland, Disneyland is the "happiest place on earth." It's an enclosed environment where people trust they are safe wherever they are in the park. They believe that they are being taken care of in exchange for the heavily priced entrance fee.
Disneyland is known as "The Happiest Place On Earth", and the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is known as "The Most Magical Place On Earth," but for the purposes of this article, I want to address the apparent decrease in happiness amongst guests at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

In Procfile, I tried replacing .wsgi with .app but I only generated an ImportError and I researched my error online but I still don't know why I'm getting the ValueError or how to fix it. Also, I was wondering if I need an Apache server to get my Django site to be able to work or will Gunicorn suffice? I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.

A: I don't know if this explains the 'Unable to add handler' error message, but you have spelled propagate incorrectly. I've made the same spelling mistake before, it took at least an hour before I spotted the problem.

Cities across the world have had to diversify and expand their water supply systems in response to demand growth, groundwater depletion and pollution, and instability and inadequacy of regional surface freshwater sources. In the U.S., these problems plague not only the arid Western cities but increasingly also cities in the Eastern portions of the country. Although cities continue to seek out new sources of water via Promethean projects of long-distance supply systems, desalinization plants, and the recharge of aquifers with surface water, they also pursue water conservation because of its low cost and other benefits. We examine water conservation as a complex sociotechnical system comprising interactions of political, sociodemographic, economic, and hydroclimatological factors. We provide quantitative data on the factors that affect more and less advanced transitions in water conservation regimes, and we show that water stress and other hydrological data can only partially predict the transition. We also provide qualitative case studies to identify institutional and political barriers to more advanced water conservation regimes. This interdisciplinary, mixed methods approach typifies the need for knowledge that informs hydrologists about how their research may or may not be adopted by decision-makers.

One by one, members of Indianapolis clergy were arrested at a DACA protest, Tuesday.
One by one, clergy members from Indianapolis were arrested Tuesday morning as they protested an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
More than a dozen people formed a human chain and illegally blocked traffic on Pennsylvania and Ohio streets before they were arrested.
Sidewalk onlookers cheered and chanted slogans of support while demonstrators were escorted to police cars by law enforcement.
During the protest, which began in front of Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly's office, organizers said they were "fed up by the betrayal" of Sens. Todd Young and Donnelly, who voted last month for Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley's "Secure and Succeed Act." The measure, rejected by the Senate in February, would have limited family-based immigration and provided $25 billion to the Department of Homeland Security.
Young is a Republican; Donnelly a Democrat.
DACA was formed in 2012 through an executive order by President Barack Obama. It allowed certain people who came to the U.S. illegally as minors to be protected from immediate deportation. President Trump rescinded the policy in September and set a March 5 deadline for a resolution, but a Supreme Court ruling delayed that end date.
Protests were held nationwide Monday and Tuesday.
For Zahyra Arenas, a 29-year-old "Dreamer" and mother of two from Mexico, the Indianapolis event was a chance to explain the level of fear she experiences every day, knowing she could be ripped from her 2-year-old and 4-year-old sons.
The children sat in a corner watching cartoon videos while their mother tearfully explained into a microphone that she must cherish every day with them. Arenas' DACA protection is set to end in December 2019.
"My kids deserve to have a family that is united," she said.
Although President Trump has said he wants America to offer Dreamers a permanent home, he issued a veto threat last month that scuttled a bipartisan deal Congress was considering.
He has held firm that any deal to spare Dreamers must also come with money for a border wall, tighter limits on legal immigration and restrictions on how immigrants bring family members into the country.
For Dreamers, the latest plot twist brought on by the Supreme Court's action was just the up-and-down nature of life in today's political climate.
Conservatives such as Michael Joyce, the Indiana Republican National Committee spokesman, blame Democrats like Donnelly for "lack of substance on immigration."
"Democrats like Joe Donnelly can only offer empty rhetoric when it comes to DACA," Joyce said. "President Trump offered a deal on immigration reform that included an expansion of Dreamers and a pathway to citizenship, and the Democrats turned it down."
Donnelly told IndyStar he supports bipartisan efforts that will protect DACA recipients and "strengthen our borders." He voted in favor of the bipartisan bill that was vetoed by Trump.
"I will continue working with my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats to find a resolution, though ultimately, Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker Paul Ryan, and President Trump will need to support a commonsense solution too," Donnelly said.
The topic of providing citizenship for "Dreamers" has been a contentious issue in Indiana.
Former Gov. Mike Pence joined in on a lawsuit that opposed the expanded DACA program when it was announced by Obama in November 2014.
Led by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in State of Texas, et al v. United States, with the blessing of Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller, Pence called the policy a "profound mistake."
Most recently, Indiana lawmakers have begun discussing revoking professional licenses from individuals protected by DACA.
The Indiana House of Representatives passed a bill Monday that would allow DACA recipients to receive professional and occupational licenses.

All the mentioned libraries were added using SPM. I don't understand why this fails. Do swift packages require a development team?
Also the problem only seems to be the addition of the mac catalyst target. I have a branch of the iOS app without catalyst support with the same SPM dependencies and xcodebuild works without problem.

Make sure you have purchased your annual membership.
Check the weather forecast and bring along proper clothing and equipment. When in doubt, dress in layers and remove as necessary.
Bring sufficient water with you to stay hydrated, and be on guard for signs of frostbite and hypothermia. If you start to feel any warning signs, get to someplace warm as soon as possible.
Ski with a friend or your family. Otherwise, make sure you let someone know where you are and when you expect to return.
Leave space between you and other skiers and alert others when you would like to pass.
Do not obstruct ski trails or intersections. When stopped, step to the side out of tracks. If you fall, move off the track as quickly as possible.
Respect trail closures; use only trails posted open and obey all posted signs.
Carry out what you carry in. No littering!
Stay on the trail. Do not cut switchbacks or create shortcuts.
Share the trail. Watch and listen for others users, especially snowmobiles.
Skate skiers should avoid classic tracks.
Avoid walking on the groomed tracks.
Clean up after your four-legged friend, no one wants to ski through poop.
When two skiers meet head-on on a hill (even a gentle one), the skier going uphill should yield the right of way.
When a faster skier catches up to a slower skier going the same direction, the slower skier should yield the right of way.

I can't transfer files to my TI84+SE or my TI89 with the TI SendTo application as part of TI-Connect. When I press Select Device, my calculator shows up under "USB 1". At this screen, no matter what button I press, the program freezes. The Refresh, Select, and Cancel buttons all cause the program to stop responding. I have to kill the process with command prompt every time because the program is locked up.
I am on a Windows 10 laptop, and my TI-Connect version is 4.0.0.218. The cable I am using is a silver link cable I just purchased. I don't think the cable is causing the problem because the problem persisted beforehand and the program still freezes without the cable plugged in.
I have tried the fix method detailed here: https://www.omnimaga.org/other-calculator-discussion-and-news/tutorial-ti-connect-is-not-working/, as well as countless reboots and reinstallations. TiLP didn't work, it gives me some error about the cable not being initialized on start. I have also tried running it in compatibility mode (Windows XP Service Pack 3).
The Device Explorer seems to work fine because it skips the "Select Your Device" prompt. When it doesn't skip the prompt, the program freezes but works when I force kill and relaunch it. I do not know why Device Explorer's Select Your Device prompt works but SendTo's doesn't work.
Does anyone have ideas about how I can get it to work? Thanks!
For your TI 84, use TI connect CE instead. It's a heck of a lot easier to use and more stable than old TI connect. It won't work with your TI 89 however.
Have you tried using a different cable or different computer? That can help narrow down what's giving issues.


Accusations of anti-semitism against the left and Netanyahu's recent electoral victory have brought the issue of Israel and Palestine sharply to the fore. It is important to provide a clear Marxist analysis on this question.
Tomorrow, 13th April, marks the 100th anniversary of the brutal suppression by British imperialism of a protest in colonial Punjab, India. To this day, no British government has ever offered a formal apology for this bloody crime.
15th August 2017 marks the 70th anniversary since Indian independence from British colonial rule. Mahatha Gandhi is often portrayed as an anti-imperialist and non-violent leader of the Indian independence movement. But, as Ravi Mistry explains, the truth is that Gandhi betrayed as many as he inspired, playing a role that ultimately led to the disaster of partition.
The British establishment normally grabs every chance to mark the anniversary of any military event. One such anniversary, however, will pass largely unnoticed this year: the invasion of Suez; the so-called "forgotten war" that would become a symbol of the death of the British Empire and the end of "Great" Britain as a major world power.
Friday 17th January 2014 marked the 53rd anniversary of the assassination of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's first democratically elected Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba, who after being beaten and tortured for days, was finally shot. Nelson Wan of the QMUL Marxists looks back at the life and revolutionary ideas of this historic Congolese leader.

There are many reasons to visit a seedy tavern: detective work, rumourmongering, looking for work or simply to soothe a parched throat. But a tavern without denizens is hardly a bar at all.
Quobbis Quibble (LN male gnome): A fat gnome with buck teeth fidgets in supreme discomfort as he looks around the room. Judging by his fine clothes, he shouldn't be within a hundred yards of this establishment.
Sibolen Itali (N male elf): A drunk elf with long black hair crawls on the floor, searching for something he has lost (his wedding band).
Ginger Greybeard (CN male dwarf): A deeply tanned and extremely boisterous dwarf mocks his opponent, then swigs another mug of beer in a drinking contest. The amber liquid bubbles in his beard.
Urul (NE female orc): Two sharp tusks protrude from the hood of a figure in a shadowy corner; investigations reveal the individual to be an orc!
Cham (CE female halfling rogue 3): A young halfling relieves a very drunk patron of his coin purse before retreating under a table to inspect his prize.
Petrera Malice (LE female human): A tall woman in black leather armour sits at attention. She refuses a drink from the server, and keeps a hand on her longsword.
Gullun (CN male halfling): A halfing at the counter produces acrid smoke from a yellow pipe. His eyes are haunted and distant, his body paralyzed in remembrance.
Kayvan Lorrick (CG male half-elf wizard 2): A drunk half-elf summons and dispels light morosely at his table. Every few moments, his hand goes to a bruise on his face.
Gerard Burnheap (CE male half-orc fighter 3): A half-orc downs mug after mug in angry determination. His muscles are alive with malcontent, and he looks around the room for someone to fight.
Yorik Greygal (CN male dwarf): A very short dwarf slumps passed out on his table amongst a dozen mugs. The look of serene content upon his face is enviable.
Bayran Lorrick (CN male half-elf): An animated half-elf flirts with the female patrons of the bar. His green eyes sparkle with every laugh he procures, though the other customers look annoyed.
Grom (NG male human): A man at least eight feet tall hunches over a table, beer stein clutched awkwardly in massive hands.
Davian Derrows (N male human cleric 2): A cleric of the predominate local faith reviews paperwork by candlelight. He smiles graciously at the server and accepts another drink before returning to work.
Sacha Devree (NE female gnome): A thin gnome with heterochromia has lost her left hand to a skin disease. She winces in pain through every mouthful of mead.
Horne (LN male elf): A white haired young elf speaks quietly to a shrouded confidant. The barkeep brings out expensive liquor for the pair and refuses payment.
Velia Omrick (CN female human): The barkeep brings out a whole roasted chicken to a child of eight or nine, who pays with a strange gold coin. The girl devours the chicken within minutes.
Hodrin Bleakfire (CN male dwarf): A bald dwarf regales an inattentive crowd with his dragon slaying exploits. Judging by his seared armour, there may actually be truth to this story.
Hurdle Belch (NE female halfling): A morbidly obese halfling slips in and out of consciousness as she totters in her chair, mumbling nonsense to herself.
Filth (CN male gnome): An ancient gnome begs coppers from other customers. His pleas are answered with laughs, grunts or swats.
Petrar Mane (LG male human paladin 1): A bright eyed young human in shining full plate looks incredibly out of place here. He listens attentively to the conversations around him and seems eager—but hesitant—to join in.

4:18-19 – Jesus establishes his purpose throughout his ministry.
4:24-30 – Jesus' words are offensive to those in the synagogue because he is suggesting that they will not be healed. They try to kill him but clearly his purpose wouldn't be fulfilled through that death so he is able to escape from them.
4:33-34 – Though most people did not recognize Jesus' identity, spirits, both clean (the Holy Spirit inside of Elizabeth) and unclean, seemed to recognize him.
4:43 – Many people believe that Jesus' sole purpose on earth was his death. Verses like this refute that and prove that Jesus' life and ministry also held great importance.
5:10-11 – One encounter with Jesus caused these men to leave their regular life to follow Jesus.
5:16 – We often think we're too busy to pray or spend time with God. This is clearly an indictment on that because Jesus needed to teach and heal crowds of people and yet he made a point to get away and pray.
5:22 – The scribes and Pharisees had not audibly expressed their concerns, but Jesus knew them anyway. They must have been a little thrown off when Jesus addressed their unspoken criticisms.
5:26 – When we see God move, whether in our lives or someone else's, we are moved and amazed.
5:29 – Tax collectors were some of the most despised people in this society. They were known for charging way too much for taxes and gaining wealth at the expense of others.
5:29-32 – This is true of us today as well. Jesus wants people who are willing to admit their failures and recognize their need for a Savior. He grants the wishes of those who believe they can handle things on their own and don't need help.
5:36-39 – Jesus' new ideas and ways of practicing faith did not fit into the Pharisees' older ways of thinking. Old practices were cherished and had value in that society, so bringing in a new way of acting/thinking was threatening.


Many of us tend to forget that our smartphones are not only fun and entertaining gadgets, but also powerful and helpful tools. For those of us juggling a busy schedule, it's not always easy to keep track of all your meetings, tasks, projects, plans and memos. How efficient you are at keeping your life organized depends on which Android task manager you use. Among the slew of different Android organizer apps, Wunderlist appears to be gaining a lot of publicity in the media and popularity among my friends and coworkers.
If none of the other Android task managers have convinced you to dump your old pen and notepad, can Wunderlist do the trick? Find out in today's review!
There is definitely no shortage of organizers and task managers for Android users. The problem is finding one that is quick, efficient, simple and easy-to-use. Today users expect a certain number of basic key features from their task managing apps: instant synchronization, a complementary web client and multiple sharing capabilities. Wunderlist manages to offer all of the above and more.
When you start up Wunderlist, you'll be asked to create a Wunderlist account by providing an email address and password. Although it is possible to use Wunderlist without an account, you will not be able to save and synchronize your tasks across multiple devices and computers. After the quick and painless registration procedure (shouldn't take you more than 2 seconds), you start off with just one task list called Inbox. In your Inbox you'll find six preset default tasks that explain the basics of how to use Wunderlist as a task manager.
In Wunderlist, you can create customized lists with specific tasks. Tapping on each list opens up a screen where you can add as many tasks as you please. While adding tasks is a breeze, you'll have to edit each task in order to add a reminder or date. By default each task is added without either of those things. Speaking of reminders, Wunderlist can remind you of things on your to-do list by sending you an email. You can set the specific time and date when to receive a reminder about a specific task. There is no integrating task alarm as is the case with other task managers. Personally, I actually like the fact that my phone doesn't ring every 10 minutes to notify me about things I need to do. Emails are, in my opinion, both discreet and effective.
Each one of your tasks can be prioritized by tapping the star symbol. All your most important tasks are then displayed under the Starred tab.
In addition to the user-friendly app, there is also a Wunderlist web client that uses cloud technology to synch and backup all of your lists and tasks. The web client is basically a carbon copy of the app albeit with a couple of small additions. For those of you used to carrying a hard copy of your to-do lists and tasks, Wunderlist allows you to print out your lists on your computer. Sharing your lists with others can only be set up through the web client. You can either invite your friends and coworkers to join Wunderlist or generate a secret URL that can be shared with non-Wunderlist users. Just click on the small cloud icon at the top right of the page to see the URL.
Everything is very simple and easy-to-use without any unnecessary layers of extra features. The synchronization works perfectly and allows for cross-platform integration. All your tasks can be accessed from any smartphone, tablet or computer – regardless of the operating system. This is definitely a big plus for the average office worker with multiple devices both at work and at home. Although generally a solid app, I wish Wunderlist would include status bar notifications in addition to email reminders. Despite all the hype around this task manager, it still isn't the clear frontrunner in productivity apps. Hopefully, we'll see new and useful features in the upcoming updated versions.
In terms of style and appearance, Wunderlist does a pretty good job. You can select among several different background pictures – all of them are well-designed. When compared to the web client, the app version of Wunderlist seems rather bland. All the tasteful graphic design that was put into the web version appears to be missing from the Wunderlist app. If you've developed a good look for the website, why not transpose it to the app?
The basic layout is pretty straightforward and is made up of six medium-sized tabs. You'll have to tap the Menu button for adding and deleting tasks. Although the app is generally responsive, there was a small glitch with checking off tasks on your lists. Tapping the checkmark next to each task doesn't always mark off that specific task and opening the edit screen instead. A bit frustrating, but not a big deal on phones with bigger screens.
A stable and reliable app that synchs all the tasks instantly. Wunderlist opens immediately and doesn't take any time to load – a must for quickly adding items to your list. A small yet persistent problem that I noticed: it took the app a while to actually change the background picture after I selected one in the settings. Not sure if this is a weird glitch or something other users have experienced (feel free to share your experiences in the comments).
Wunderlist is available for free from the Google Market without any ads.

Nicolas de Laodicée est un philosophe et exégèse d'Aristote ayant vécu au . Il existe cependant une possible confusion avec Nicolas de Damas, historien vivant à l'époque de l'empereur Auguste, à qui l'on attribue aussi l'ouvrage De philosophia Aristotelis.

Selon l'écrivain Grégoire Bar Hebraeus (contemporain de Themistius ): .

Selon Ibn Butlan, Nicolas l'auteur de De philosophia Aristotelis était originaire de Laodicée.

De philosophia Aristotelis
Le De philosophia Aristotelis est un ouvrage d'exégèse systématique , communément dénommé DPA.

Un seul manuscrit de cet ouvrage est connu, conservé à la Cambridge University Library sous la cote Gg 2.14. Il est écrit en syriaque, sans doute après 1400 après JC.

Le manuscrit est en très mauvais état : en partie lacunaire, surchargé de glose de copiste, sans en-tête de présentation, ni conclusion ; le texte est de surcroît remanié dans son ordre initial. Par ailleurs le texte originel de Nicolas a été fortement abrégé par endroits.
