Flora Thompson
05 December 1876 - 21 May 1947
Standard Name: Thompson, Flora
Birth Name: Flora Jane Timms
Married Name: Flors Jane Thompson
FT , who wrote in the early to mid twentieth century, had limited education and lived outside the literary mainstream. She had little success as a poet or novelist, but built herself a career as a journalist. She wrote about the countryside (as well as about books), and eventually achieved fame as a memoirist or autobiographer. Both her periodical essays and her memoirs show her skill in re-creating the village life of a past generation. She combines toughness in her presentation of the poverty and hardship of rural lives, and lyricism in her rendering of the natural environment and of lived folk culture.

Q: GM_setValue Event Listener I am exporting strings from one webpage to another on a different domain. I am using GM_setValue and GM_getValue to transfer the data between the windows.
I currently have a button on each site, one for exporting the data and the other for importing the data. I was hoping to get this down to one button with an event listener for a GM object value being changed.
I was looking at Object.Watch as a potential solution.

A: Only Tampermonkey provides GM_addValueChangeListener. With all other userscript managers (according to the feature comparison table as of Nov 24, 2014) you'll have to use timer-based approach via setInterval because Object.watch won't work due to the absence of an object per se as GM_getValue returns a value, not a reference.

So Dh recovery what is yr take?
This has been the regular price for the optiplex pretty much since it came out so it's not an amazing deal, that being said the optiplex machines are generally considered solid business machines backed by a fantastic dell business 3 year warranty.
Tx..this does not come with a monitor, correct?
What is the regular price?
So after 7 years my desktop is gone. I'm searching for a computer for a home office, to run basic programs- Office, Quickbooks, and the like.
Don't need any of the accessories. Any recommendations? Good deals out there?
Fujitsu ESPRIMO E710-E90 (XBUY E710 E90+ I53470) Desktop PC - $479!
Is this a good company? If any issues/warranty?
Good company - they aren't really known for desktops - but they make good products.
if i am in no hurry, would u recommend waiting till cyber Monday? or buy this one? Thanks so much for all of yr advice.
Thanks again..pls keep us posted for that hot deal!
First, thank you DH Data for your help here. Second, you say its a good deal, but not great. How much lower a price would be considered a deal to take?
Also, the one review for that mentions no USB on the front, which is good to know.

Licia Albanese
What better way to celebrate the 100th birthday of incomparable soprano Licia Albanese than a concert of winners of the 2012 International Vocal Competition presented by the 38 year old Licia Albanese-Puccini Foundation. Signora Albanese herself came onstage to the delight of her adoring public; she was acknowledged not only for her brilliant career but also for the many gifts she conferred on students via master classes, coaching and financial help from the Foundation. How many times in one's life does one get to honor a great lady on her centennial birthday!
On hand as hosts were WQXR's Midge Woolsey and Robert Sherman. Wielding the baton for the Musica Sacra Orchestra was Kent Tritle; Arlene Schrut presided over the piano with her customary excellence. Interspersed between the arias performed by the competition winners were arias by three recipients of the Distinguished Achievement Awards who graciously performed; tenor Michael Fabiano sang "Federico's Lament" from Cilea's L'Arlesiano, mezzo Isabel Leonard performed a song from Lerner and Loewe's Camelot and soprano Latonia Moore sang "Un bel di" from Puccini's Madama Butterfly. It is difficult to imagine three finer performances. Also performing was tenor Ricardo Tamura, recently signed by The Metropolitan Opera, who put heart and soul into "Vesti la giubba" from Leoncavallo's "I Pagliacci".
As far as the competition winners, we applaud the judges for their fine choices. The Top Award went to soprano Kiri Deonarine who closed the program with the duet "Tutte le feste al tempio" from Verdi's Rigoletto; a special treat was the appearance of her very own father baritone Kim Josephson singing the role of Rigoletto! First prize was awarded to Zachary Nelson whose sizable baritone and passionate delivery were brought to bear on Giordano's "Nemico della patria" from Andrea Chenier.
Fifth Prize winner Alexander W. Lewis used his flexible tenor and charming personality on the audience-thrilling "Ah mes amis" from Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment. Many of the grant winners are known to us and managed to delight us with their continuing growth. We were particularly struck by the duet "Au fond du temple saint" from Bizet's Les Pêcheurs du Perles, sung by tenor Noah Baetge and baritone Takaoki Onishi, whose voices melded mellifluously and sailed above the orchestra. The same could be said for tenor Eric Margiore and baritone Steven LaBrie who sang "In un coupé" from Puccini's La Boheme.
In Donizetti's "Bella siccome un angelo" from Donizetti's Don Pasquale, baritone Tobias Greenhalgh did a fine job of fooling the eponymous "hero", using a great deal of charm as well as a delicate portamento and liquid trill, not to mention a graceful messa di voce. Soprano Ashley Harrington and tenor Zach Borichevsky performed the moving "O soave fanciulla" from Puccini's La Boheme in a manner that recreated the entire meeting in our mind's eye. As Enrico, the brother we love to hate in Lucia de Lammermoor, baritone Nicholas Pallesen did justice to "Cruda, funesta smania".
We also enjoyed being introduced to a few rising stars we hadn't heard before. Baritone Anthony C. Evans sang "Si può, si può" as a charming introduction to Leoncavallo's I Pagliacci. A century ago, we might have been in the audience of an Italian village, waiting for the visiting players. Baritone Norman Garrett sang "O Carlo ascolta" from Verdi's Don Carlo with a beautiful legato and deep feeling. Soprano Kearstin Piper Brown sang "Summertime" from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess; she has a lovely "ping" in her voice. Tenor Jonathan Winell has a pleasing voice and sang "Avete torto" from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi.
A number of prize winners were unable to appear, due to illness or employment elsewhere. We particularly missed hearing soprano Audrey Luna, tenor Luigi Boccia and bass Scott Conner, winners of the second, third and fourth prizes respectively, and grant winners baritones John Brancy and Alexander Hajek. We wish to congratulate all the winners, the judges for their difficult task and good judgment, the Foundation for making it happen, and above all to honor our dear Licia Albanese who has done so much to keep the operatic tradition going in our country.

Q: WP Ajax Function Always Returning undefined What is the deal here?

JS FUNCTION 'custom.js'

function validate() {
    var email = jQuery("#billingemail").val();

    if (isValidEmailAddress(email)) {
        jQuery.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: ajaxurl,
            data: {"action": "custome_ajax_email_check", "guestemail": email },
            success: function(data){
                data = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
                if(data.result) {
                    alert('Email Exists');
                    return false;
                } else {
                    alert('Email Does Exists');
                    return true;
                }
            }
        });
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

JS ON CLICK 'custom.js'

 $('#mwb_logincoupon').on('click', '#validateguestemail', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        validateemail = validate();

PHP AJAX

add_action( 'wp_ajax_custome_ajax_email_check', 'custome_ajax_email_check' );
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_custome_ajax_email_check', 'custome_ajax_email_check');

function custome_ajax_email_check(){
    $email = $_POST['guestemail'];

    // do check
    if ( email_exists($email) ) {
        $response->result = true;
    }
    else {
        $response->result = false;
    }

    echo( json_encode( $response));
    wp_die();
}

debugging the script the JS code goes into the success function, so far as even triggering off the alert('Email Exists').. but the return statement in the functon is never retrieved thus making validateemail always return undefined. Why?

A: Per @SallyCJ suggestion to use await I construed this new function
async function doAjax(email) {
    let result;

    try {
        result = await jQuery.ajax({
            url: ajaxurl,
            type: 'POST',
            data: {"action": "custome_ajax_email_check", "guestemail": email }
        });

        return result;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
}

Then my validate() function now just is simply
function validate() {
    var email = jQuery("#billingemail").val();

    if (isValidEmailAddress(email)) {
        doAjax(email).then( (data) => ajaxCallResult(data) )
    }

  . . . . .

Then lastly
function ajaxCallResult(data){

    data = jQuery.parseJSON(data);

  . . . . . .

It is working.. very interesting, learning about await then, asynchronous and synchronous calls, etc

MOSCOW (February 20, 2016) – Veteran Russian fighters Alexander Shlemenklo and Alexander Volkov were the big winners in M-1 Challenge 64 action last night at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.
Shlemenko (52-9-0), a three-time Bellator champion, returned to M-1 Global in grand style, winning a close but unanimous decision over former 2-division M-1 Challenge division Vyacheslav Vasilevsky (28-3-0), of Russia, in their M-1 Global Grand Prix Middleweight Tournament match. Shlemenko advances to the championship final later this year to face the winner of the other semifinals fight (April 8) at M-1 Challenge 65 between reigning M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Ramazan Emeev (13-3-0) and Brazilian Maiquel "Big Rig" Falcao (35-8-0). Emeev was the 2015 M-1 Global Fighter of the Year.
M-1 Global's newly signed Alexander "Drago" Volkov (25-6-0), of Russia, captured the vacant M-1 Challenge heavyweight championship, defeating Estonian strongman Denis Smoldarev (11-2-0) by way of a third-round submission via a triangle choke.
In the M-1 Challenge Bantamweight Semifinals Eliminator matches, Pavel Vitruk (13-2-0) and Ukrainian Vitaly Branchuk (21-5-0) both won unanimous decisions to advance to the championship final to determine the new M-1 Challenge bantamweight champion. Vitruk got past his previously undefeated Kazakh opponent Sergey Morozov (6-1-1), while Branchuk got the better of Antun "Killer" Racic (18-7-0), of Croatia.
Late replacement Vladimir Kathyhin (32-6-1), of Ukraine, won a decision over American middleweight Joe Ray (13-5-0) in the other main card fight.
On the preliminary card, Russian middleweight Magomed Mutaev (7-2-0), Russian welterweight Maksin Grabovich (3-2-0) and Ukrainian featherweight Andrey "Iron" Lezhnev (8-5-0) were all unanimous decision winners, respectively, against Ukrainian Vadim "Archie" Orischak (5-5-0), German Stefan Larisch (8-4-0) and Russian Timur Nagibin.
Russian heavyweight Kurban Ibragimov (4-1-0) knocked out Dmitriy Mikutsa (5-3-0), of Ukraine, in the opening round, while Russian middleweight Valery "The Russian Hammer" Myasnikov (9-1-1) locked in a rear naked choke on Ukrainian foe Vyacheslav "Bison" Bogomol (8-2-0) to win by second-round submission.


Getting your resume layout to look well-aligned and perfectly balanced is a big task in itself, but no matter how carefully you lay out your resume, and what valuable content you include, the employer will only take the time to read it if you make it as easy on the eye as possible.
Having a well-spaced out layout with clear-headed sections and bullet points to highlight your key skills is a great idea. But, don't make the mistake of using wild, bold or artistic fonts in the belief it will make your resume stand out better.
Choosing the wrong fonts for your resume could be a huge mistake. You may have the most carefully chosen keywords and action verbs included that an employer would be looking for, but using a glaring or hard to read font can put an employer off reading your resume.
Your choice of fonts to be used on your resume is crucial. By selecting easy to read fonts, the employer will find your information easier to absorb. You need to remember that employers can become very tired and weary after a few hours of reading through resumes. If they get to your resume mid to late afternoon, their eyes may be very tired indeed. A simple first scan of a resume using fonts that hurt their eyes will quickly be consigned to the 'no pile' or the rejection bin even before they have read the candidates name.
Font types come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Many are very artistic and pretty, but using them in an official, formal document such as your resume may not be the best idea. Keep these pretty fonts for posters and flyers where they can be appreciated for the right reasons.
For the best readability, you need to remember that your resume could not only be read by a human, but also by an electronic applicant-tracking process. To successfully pass through electronic applicant-tracking you need your resume font to be easily scanned. Any unreadable fonts will cause your resume being rejected even before reaching a human reader.
These fonts are the order of the day here and will guarantee the readability to allow your resume to pass through applicant tracking systems with ease.
But what if I want to add more flair?
The idea of creating a perfect resume is to make one that contains all of the necessary information and key words that an employer will look for. But keeping your fonts plain can often mean a bland and generic looking resume.
To make your document stand out and separate it from the sea of same-looking applications, you may want to carefully use different fonts to highlight important information or create bold section headings.
You may be applying for a creative job where you will want to demonstrate a little of your creative flair with your job application that shows off your skills. You will need to be able to strike a fine balance between clear and readable font choices and more artistic ones.
Here you could look at Serif fonts. Serif fonts tend to be more artistic but in a subtle way. They have touches of flair with hooks, curves and markings that set them apart from more basic texts. Look at Century or Bookman Old Style as good examples of what we mean.
Sans Serif fonts tend to be a bit sleeker than regular Serif typeface, so if you know for sure that your resume will be going through an electronic applicant-tracking system, then it may be wise to avoid using basic Serif fonts and choose Sans Serif instead to avoid being rejected by the scanner.
Sans Serif fonts are quite commonly used in resumes and are tolerated well by both scanning systems and human readers.
So, you have chosen a clean and crisp font for your resume, you have worked out exactly what information you are going to include, you have even created perfectly highlighted bullet-points for your key skills and qualifications. But….. to get everything you want to include onto your resume, you have shrunk the text down to a smaller size.
It is far better here to edit down your text to fewer words rather than to shrink the text size. Making your font size too small will have the same effect as choosing the wrong font. It will get your resume rejected.
Ideally, you should stick to 12 points to give the best readability results, but if you need to shrink down your text just a little, then try not to go any lower than 10.5 or you will make your text too small to read comfortably.

Chicago's Noname Drops Her Sophomore Project, 'Room 25'
With her biting lyricism and hushed delivery, the former slam poet has quietly climbed the hip-hop ranks.
By Katie Sheets, University of Vermont
FacebookTwitterGooglePinterestRedditStumbleuponTumblr
I think it's fair to say that the music industry has taken a turn no one would have ever predicted in the 1980s or '90s. After years of rock n' roll being the music of the kings, nobody would ever have expected rap to become the most popular genre. Yet, somehow, here we are in a world where the new rock stars are not guitar players and drummers, but poets and mixers. Kanye West himself even said it: "Rap is the new rock 'n roll. We the rock stars."
Like rock was, rap is most often a man's world. Female rappers that are popular and critically acclaimed are widely outnumbered by the men. For every Missy Elliot, there are three Snoop Doggs. Women like Missy, Nicki Minaj and Lauryn Hill have been able to make their own in the industry, but they are often mocked and treated as lesser than male rappers.
Noname, a Rising Chicago Rapper, Does Gender Her Way
Rap has a new woman in town that's facing more critical acclaim than most of the men out there today. Her name is Noname.
Noname was born Fatimah Warner and grew up in Chicago. She started out as a slam poet, and in 2013 was featured on fellow Chicagoan Chance the Rapper's (ever heard of him?) blowup mixtape "Acid Rap." Three years later, she released her own mixtape, titled "Telefone," to widespread critical acclaim.
Yet, the jazz-rap mixtape still maintained a sort of anonymity for Noname, despite the fact that people continued to listen and love the album. This past festival round, she played at O'Sheaga in Montreal, Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago and even at Coachella. Talking to Rolling Stone in a recent interview, she said, "I don't know many artists who have been able to like drop an album two years ago and then have Coachella hit them up to be like, 'Yeah, we still give a shit.'"
Her first full album, titled "Room 25," was released on Sept. 14. A much darker and more serious work than "Telefone," Noname says much of the inspiration for it came from the quiet fame that was launched after "Telefone." Referring to the past two years she's spent living out of hotels, she said, "I was making a lot, thousands of dollars that I had never seen or thought I would ever accumulate. Like, I had a savings account. I had sex for the first time in my life that year."
It's exciting to see another release from a rapper as talented as Noname. A poet at heart, her rhythms are both exciting and beautiful, and her words are top-notch. Her background music is jazzy; Wikipedia describes the genre of "Room 25" as jazz rap and neo soul. Mostly, I think it's due time that we see a woman as genuinely talented as Noname top the charts. Rolling Stone titled their article "Noname Is One of the Best Rappers Alive." I wholeheartedly agree. Let's start treating her that way.

Elon Musk Wants To Stitch A Computer Chip Inside Your Brain
Jul 18, 2019 03:30 AM By Johnny Vatican
Elon Musk wants to link our brains to our smartphones, computers or to any digital device for that matter, is an effort that will ultimately defend the human race against what he sees as the existential threat from "evil AI" (artificial intelligence).
One of Musk's least known but most exotic startups, Neuralink Corporation made news Tuesday by announcing plans to hold clinical trials of its "brain-computer interface" (BCI) technology on humans by 2020. This technology will initially be used to help people with brain disorders.
BCI is a direct communication pathway between an enhanced or wired brain and an external device such as a computer or a weapon. It's also called a mind-machine interface (MMI) and a brain-machine interface (BMI).
In Neuralink's clinical trials, doctors will drill tiny holes into a human brain using sewing machine-like technology. Into these holes will be inserted thousands of super-thin electrodes called "threads." These threads will be slimmer than the width of a human hair and will be connected to a tiny processor. This processor is wirelessly connected to a smartphone or a computer using Bluetooth.
"A monkey has been able to control a computer with his brain," said Musk on Tuesday during a live-streamed presentation at the California Academy of Sciences.
The immediate goal of Neuralilnk's BCI is s to help people deal with brain and spinal cord injuries or congenital defects. Musk said BCI technology could help paraplegics that have lost the ability to move or sense because of spinal cord injury.
Neuralink's long-term goal, however, is to build what Musk calls a "digital superintelligence layer" to link humans with AI.
"Ultimately, we can do a full brain-machine interfaces where we can achieve a sort of symbiosis with AI," said Musk.
Neuralink is awaiting approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin clinical trials of its technology. Musk said Neuralink wants to have its first human patient equipped with the technology before the end of 2020.
"It will take a long time, and you'll see it coming," said Musk on Tuesday. Musk said there could be an "app store" in the future for different programs that could tap the technology.
In 2017, Musk wrote Neuralink "is aiming to bring something to market that helps with certain severe brain injuries (stroke, cancer lesion, congenital) in about four years."
Musk believes Neuralink's BCI technology can eventually assist in cognitive capabilities like speech and sight. Applications for this tech include helping people control computers with their brain activity or restoring the ability to speak, according to Philip Sabes, senior scientist at Neuralink.
On this rat, Neuralink's sensor chip connects to the outside world with a USB-C port. On humans, the plan is to communicate wirelessly so there won't be a cable plugged into your skull. Neuralink
Musk also said people might also communicate with one another using the technology through a kind of telepathy.
Musk also plans to have Neuralink tech save humanity from the looming threat of dangerous AI machines. He said he hopes to "help secure humanity's future as a civilization relative to AI."
Neuralink eventually envisions brain-connected chips and its communication wires placed under the skin. A data transfer system will link to a wearable, removable pod behind the ear that communicates wirelessly with external devices like a phone or computer.

Longitudes Group today announced the release of its bi-annual 2015 Market Trend Report on USA Off-Course Golf retail. The channel continues to be cut-throat all while consolidating as the effects of Worldwide Golf acquisition of Edwin Watts played out in 2014. The merger forced more than 40 Edwin Watts locations to close, significantly impacting the entire US Off-course channel. Longitudes Group tracked a net loss of stores in the channel at (-82) locations, a drop of 8.6%. In addition to the Watts closings, fifty plus closures of independent retailers shows the relinquishing of control to the well-funded few.
Portland, OR – Longitudes Group announced today it has recently completed a new report for 2014 documenting the market profiles of the 17 largest off-course golf retail brands. It includes an in-depth look at the new acquisition made by Worldwide Golf last month of 49 locations of the 91 Edwin Watts stores in bankruptcy proceedings.


A late-summer surge has boosted a newly-relevant Starfish FC side into prime position in the run home of the 2018 Major League Footy Premiership Season.
Heading into the Labor Day holiday, the 'Fish looked to be headed for the Wooden Spoon, mired with a 1-4 mark and the circuit's second-worst percentages.
Sweeping each of the past two weekend matinee twin-bills, the St. Petersburg side has maximized their opportunities in turning aside the Lakeland Tigers and Suncoast Suns in successive weeks.
Those results effectively saw the scrappy Blue and Gold end the seasons of both opponents.
That run has seen them climb all the way to second on the ladder as the season heads into its final three weeks of head-to-head play.
In putting up 134 combined points Saturday against a brave Suns side, the Starfish also played a hand in the single-highest scoring day of the 2018 Major League Footy season, as Suncoast totaled 110 on a day the offenses reigned in sultry conditions.
With one final double-header to close out the season (September 29), the 'Fish seemingly control their own destiny, although that battle with the Florida Lions (4-2, and also looking to seal a Finals berth) will be no cakewalk.

Forest Service to offer information on project
By Addison Independent
ROCHESTER — The U.S. Forest Service is hosting an open house public meeting for anyone interested to learn about the Robinson Integrated Resource Project. Although the primary focus of the project is on the Green Mountain National Forest, just over half of the nearly 60,000-acre project area includes private and state lands in the towns of Rochester, Hancock, Stockbridge, Pittsfield and Chittenden.
The meeting is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, March 22, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Rochester Elementary School gymnasium. Named after the historical village of Robinson located in the center of the project area, the project only includes general ideas for management based on resource inventory collected over the past year.
The Forest Service is now interested in hearing public input to help them identify specific land management activities on National Forest lands such as timber harvesting, enhancement of wildlife habitat, soil and stream restoration, and improvements to roads and trails. These activities would be scheduled for completion over a five- to seven-year period. Forest Service staff is also interested in working with willing private landowners to consider possible management activities on their land that could complement National Forest land management objectives.
District Ranger Chris Mattrick will begin the meeting with a brief introduction about the project followed by an opportunity for the public to visit with Forest Service staff representing various resources. Maps and information will be available for review at resource tables set up in the gymnasium. "We are looking forward to working with members of the community to help us manage multiple resources on the National Forest in the best way possible" said Mattrick.
There will also be staff from other agencies and non-government organizations to provide information regarding opportunities to manage private and state lands within the project area. Representatives from the Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission, White River Partnership, National Wild Turkey Federation, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Rochester Area Sports Trail Alliance (RASTA) are planning to attend.
If you have questions or would like more information about the Robinson Integrated Resource Project public open house, contact Jay Strand at 802-767-4261, ext. 522, or email at jstrand@fs.fed.us.

Q: Oracle stored procedure, catch an error Errno=32152 My store procedure is the following:
create or replace PROCEDURE           "FIND_AND_DOSOMETHING"

IN_PARAM2 IN MYTABLE.PARAM2_ID%TYPE,
OUT_PARAM OUT MYTABLE.OUT_DB_ID%TYPE

  AND FLAG=0 RETURNING OUT_DB_ID INTO OUT_PARAM;

  -- COMMIT OUTSIDE

Works well in principle, except one case: If the nested select statement "returns zero rows" the caller gets back "[Errno=32152,OraMsg=ORA-32152: Cannot perform operation on a null number]"
I guess that this is due to the fact that the select statement does not return rows WHERE OUT_DB_ID = null is not valid.
One way is to catch the exception 32152 in the application code, however I was wondering if this can be done in the procedure somehow.

I really like that computer display in the opening shots. The date on the commercial says 1992, which thanks to the video quality makes it seem older. It features a red Tracks, which stands out. I'm not well versed enough in releases to know if he came in red there, or if that's just a Joustra figure used for the shoot despite the Hasbro branding at the end. Wheeljack's missile launchers look really different in one shot. Don't know if that's from the grainy video or just some production mistake. Another random thing is the commercial spotlighting standard Optimus Prime, but showing Powermaster Optimus Prime's box. It's really a mixed bag of a commercial. Something about these older grainy videos made from a found VHS tape always make me wonder if I have 7 days left to live after watching.


From 2D functional nanoarchitectures to novel carbon-based materials ... and back!
The Klappenberger Group targets the atom-precise construction of novel 2D functional nanoarchitectures and carbon-based materials employing the bottom-up strategy and utilizing molecular self-assembly and self-organized growth. For a detailed and comprehensive understanding the nanosystems are characterized with the STM+XS approach complementing the advantages of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with space-averaging X-ray spectroscopy like X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption-fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. Currently, our main target is the fabrication and characterization of novel graphdiyne-related nanomaterials by on-surface synthesis from terminal alkyne precursors as depicted in the Figure below. For reaching this goal excellent knowledge is required on molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate interaction, the underlying surface chemistry and the influence on the functionalities of the interface.
Complex interfacial architectures such as semi-regular Archimedean tilings (AT) promise extraordinary properties, but their fabrication remains challenging. By combining on-surface chemical conversions with supramolecular self-assembly, our work demonstrates that a simple organic precursor can be converted through a multistep convergent reaction to a more complex building block self-assembling a fascinating (3.4.6.4) AT. Intriguingly, despite the numerous covalent transformations the intricate architecture is synthesized in high yield with unexpected atom economy achieved through catalytic activity of the in-situ generated reaction intermediates of the tecton conversion.
The homo-coupling of terminal alkynes provides the basis for the fabrication of novel carbon-based materials. Recently, the Klappenberger Group succeeded in synthesizing a new type of organic polymer by employing the covalent reaction on a vicinal surface, namely Ag(877). The stepped surface imposes chemo- and regioselectivity onto the reaction by templating the positioning of the monomers along the step edges. As a result terphenylene-butadiynylene polymer chains can be fabricated (10.1021/nl4046747) with the length of the single strands reaching 270 Å, thus breaking the record length of similar polymers synthesized with solution methods by a factor of two. The picture shows a polymer chain (white with dark surroundings) at a step edge between the upper terrace (brighter yellow) and the lower terrace (darker red) and a sketch of the corresponding chemical structure of the polymer displayed in the red reagion.
Organocobalt complexes represent a versatile tool in organic synthesis being an important intermediate in Pauson-Khand, Friedel-Crafts and Nicholas reactions. We address the formation of an organocobalt complex at a solid-vacuum interface. Deposition of 4,4'-(ethyne-1,2-diyl) dibenzonitrile and Co atoms on the Ag(111) surface followed by annealing resulted in genuine complexes where single Co atoms laterally coordinated to two carbonitrile groups undergo organometallic bonding with the internal alkyne moiety of adjacent molecules. Alternative complex scenarios involving fragmentation of the precursor were ruled out by complementary X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. According to our density functional theory analysis the complexation with the alkyne moiety follows the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model for a two electron-donor ligand where an alkyne-to-Co donation occurs together with a strong metal-to-alkyne back-donation.
The aggregation of (pro)chiral/achiral molecules into crystalline structures at interfaces forms conglomerates, racemates and solid solutions, comparable to known bulk phases. Here, we employ scanning tunneling microscopy and Monte Carlo simulations to unveil a distinct racemic phase, expressing one-dimensionally (1D)-disordered chiral sorting through random tiling, in surface-confined supramolecular assembly of achiral 4,4"-diethynyl-1,1':4',1"-terphenyl (DETP) molecules. Through analytical modeling, we verify that the configurational entropy (firstly introduced by Pauling to explain the residual entropy of ice) of the 1D-disordered racemic tiling phase lies between that of a perfectly-ordered 2D racemate and a racemic solid-solution.
The construction of covalent nanoarchitectures by on-surface synthesis is an exciting new development and currently establishing itself as an independent research field. The Klappenberger Group contributed significantly to this field by introducing terminal alkyne moieties as reactive functional groups allowing covalent carbon-carbon coupling at significantly lower reaction temperatures compared to other more established covalent reactions. The homo-coupling of terminal alkynes thus allows the controlled synthesis of novel organic species on a nobel metal surface (Ag111) and at moderate temperatures (300-330 K) with only volatile hydrogen as only by-product. The picture depicts a mixture of original Ext-TEB species (one highlighted in green) and the newly created dimerized species (in yellow, with ball-and-stick model superposed).
Hexaphenysilole (HPS) on Cu(111) forms extended hierarchically organized networks stabilized by π–π interaction between exocyclic phenyl groups. After 430 Kthe compound is chemically altered as evidenced by Si 2p core level shift. This change is accompanied by a different adsorption configuration and a transformation of the assembled structures to uniformly sized chiral clusters dispersively distributed on the surface. Monte Carlo simulations signal that this new phase can be understood as a result of competing long-range repulsions and short-range attractions. After annealing at 520 K, the exocyclic phenyl moieties undergo a cyclodehydrogenation reaction to form a polycyclic aromatic compound, a nanographene flake, incorporating a silole moiety.
The principles of supramolecular chemistry are highly relevant for the construction of nanoarchitectures. Accordingly, a profound understanding of the various interactions at the atomic scale, like hydrogen bonding, metal-organic coordination, electrostatic interaction, van der Waals forces, is important and needs to be constantly developed further. For example, the often-appearing binding between carbonitrile groups and neighboring phenyl units is usually categorized as a weak H bond. However, our thorough study of the nature of this interaction provides good arguments that the dominant contribution to the stabilizing force is better described as Proton acceptor ring interaction (PARI).
Molecular orbital engineering is a key ingredient for the design of organic devices. Intermolecular hybridization promises efficient charge carrier transport but usually requires dense packing for significant wave function overlap. Here we use scanning tunneling spectroscopy to spatially resolve the electronic structure of a surface-confined nanoporous supramolecular sheet of a prototypical hydrocarbon compound featuring terminal alkyne (−CCH) groups. Surprisingly, localized nanopore orbitals are observed, with their electron density centered in the cavities surrounded by the functional moieties. Density functional theory calculations reveal that these new electronic states originate from the intermolecular hybridization of six in-plane π-orbitals of the carbon−carbon triple bonds, exhibiting significant electronic splitting and an energy downshift of approximately 1 eV. Importantly, these nanopore states are distinct from previously reported interfacial states. We unravel the underlying connection between the formation of nanopore orbital and geometric arrangements of functional groups, thus demonstrating the generality of applying related orbital engineering concepts in various types of porous organic structures.
Since nanoarchitectures are supposed to be key ingredient for future devices it is important to understand their functionalities. One important application of organic networks is to tune the electronic properties of surfaces. The Klappenberger Group was among the first to investigate the influence of a purely organic network on the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) provided by a 111-facet of fcc-metals (10.1021/nl901700b) and the first to demonstrate the formation of tunable quantum dot arrays from self-assembled metal-organic networks (10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.026802). The picture is a 3D representation of the molecular network topography (in yellow) superposed with the standing wave pattern of the surface state electrons at an energy of 225 meV.

Art Praise For Creative RUH Staff
The hidden talents of RUH staff and volunteers were praised by Bath Liberal Democrat MP Wera Hobhouse when she announced the winners of the hospital's annual art exhibition.
By Office of Wera Hobhouse, Jan 18, 2018 1:01
Staff members from a range of departments including Maternity, Estates, Pathology, Therapies and ward volunteers took part and exhibited in mediums such as photography, painting and mixed media.
Wera Hobhouse, MP said "It's a real pleasure to present the awards - we've uncovered so many hidden talents. Going into hospital can be intimidating for people, but to brighten up this space with fantastic art is a really great project. As an artist myself, I know about the difficulty to find exhibition space and the importance of creativity in the workplace."
Since the exhibition opened in October 2017, patients, visitors and staff have been voting for their favourite artwork, choosing Midwifery Matron, Amanda Gell's artwork, Hare as the winner and Social Worker, Karen Road with her artwork of Lansdown Hill as runner up.
Winner Amanda Gell said: "This was the first time I have ever exhibited my art, so it's really nice to get feedback and hear my art is appreciated. For me art is the best form of relaxation – especially when you work in a demanding environment."
Although the exhibition will soon be over, the walls won't remain bare for long – the Art at the Heart team run a year round programme of exhibitions at the RUH, Bath's largest and most accessible gallery space.
Hetty Dupays, Art at the heart of the RUH, Programme manager said: "Thank you to everyone who got involved with this year's exhibition - it has been a great success showing the value of art to patients, visitors and staff. We know that art can have a beneficial role to play in hospitals – evidence shows it can ease anxiety, stress and depression for both patients and care staff, shorten patients' length of stay in hospital, reduce patients' need for painkilling medications and improve communication between patients and carers."
Wera Hobhouse, Midwifery Matron Amanda Gell, Social Worker, Karen Road and Jocelyn Foster, Commercial Director
The exhibition programme is kindly supported by the Friends of the RUH. A third of the sale price on all artwork sold is donated to the RUH Arts Fund charity. Donations received by the art charity go directly into maintaining and continuing the broad range of award-winning arts projects on offer at the hospital.

Home News Cops Barge Into Sleeping Woman's House, Shoot Her, and She Now Faces...
Bobbie Sapp, a 49-year-old registered nurse with no criminal background whatsoever, was victim to an abrupt police raid in 2017.
According to a report from the Free Thought Project, Sapp could be facing life behind bars after this encounter with law enforcement.
On the night of this incident, police broke into Sapp's home in Florida, storming her bedroom while she slept, and then shot her. Additionally, they arrested her and charged her with multiple felonies.
The whole incident started when a disgruntled ex-boyfriend used a police welfare check to intentionally harm her. In an interview with News 6, she insisted she did nothing wrong.
Trending: The Mises Institute is One of the Latest Victims of Silicon Valley
Instead, she was greeted by various shadowy figures in her bedroom, who pulled off her covers, yelled at her, tasered her, and then shot her.
"He used this wellness check as a way to put me in harm's way," she declared.
By not even bothering to knock on the door, call her, or use any other non-violent means to confront her, the cops aided a man shoot this woman on his behalf. This disgruntled ex-boyfriend didn't live in the house and could have been anyone for all she knew.
"My girlfriend was threatening suicide last night, I just came to the house and trying to get in," Sapp's ex-boyfriend relayed to the 911 operator.
Sapp claims these were all lies. If she actually wanted to commit suicide, she could've used one of the two guns which she regularly sleeps with. She ended up not doing so.
"She is very well armed," Sapp's ex-boyfriend explained to the 911 operator when asked if Sapp had guns at her place.
"She's threatened suicide by cop before," he stated.
Sapp has no record of suicide attempts.
"I was asleep in my bed. I was not at all contemplating a suicide or suicide by cop," Sapp told News 6.
Regardless, police showed up to the home and took directions from Sapp's ex, who did not even live there.
"There's one way into the house to crawl through a window and I don't want to do that at this point. I want someone here with me," Sapp's ex-boyfriend pointed out during the call.
When police arrived at the scene, Sapp's ex instructed them how to burst into the home. Not knowing that the ex was no longer with Sapp, the police followed his instructions.
"I'm asking if there's any weapons in the house, he tells me there's enough weapons in the house to start a revolution," officer Jeff Marcum, a responding officer in this incident, said according to an interview with News 6.
The weapons found at Sapp's home were two pistols that were snatched from Sapp's bed after the police shot her.
Originally, the police claimed they were breaking into Sapp's house before announcing themselves as law enforcement.
However, after they entered Sapp's bedroom, they conceded that they didn't announce themselves while Sapp was asleep. She was not aware that the police were raiding her house.
"We're yelling at her to, you know, let us see your hands, let us see your hands," Marcum stated.
Due to Sapp not immediately responding to the police's orders, force was escalated.
"I didn't have my glasses on, I'm legally blind," Sapp stated. "I couldn't identify anybody, but I remember there being shadows figures standing in my room. They pulled the covers off me."
"At that point when she pulled the cover, Ms. Sapp immediately came up with a handgun and pointed it right at us," Marcum said to investigators.
Sapp pushed back against the idea that she ever drew out a gun. She says that if she did point her gun at the cops, she would have been killed because multiple cops would've riddled her with bullets.
"If I had been pointing my gun, the way they said that I was, why didn't they all shoot me, instead of just one person?" Sapp asked.
One cop then used a tazer on her. Marcum then pulled his gun and shot Sapp, which led to her arrest.
"It doesn't make any sense that they would come in that way unless they were lied to by somebody that was using this well-being check as a tool to put me in harm's way," Sapp noted. "To process that has been really, really difficult. It's something that could happen to anyone."
Sapp was charged with the following felonies:
Att. First Degree Murder Of Leo W/firearm
Agg. Assault On A Leo (w/ A Deadly Weapon)
Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon
Resisting Officer With Violence
This case demonstrates how even the police are not exempt from committing major errors in the line of work.
The job of law enforcement is difficult, but there is still a need for accountability in their line of work.
More importantly, Sapp's ex-boyfriend should face justice for abusing the welfare check system to terrorize his ex.
This incident highlights how these processes must also be reformed to protect people from unjust police raids.

College is an exciting time as young adults extend their wings and flex their muscles of independence. For those college students who weren't gifted a car before leaving for school, buying their first car in college might land on the to-do list sooner or later. Some incoming freshman students aren't even allowed to have cars on campus, or are made to live on campus negating the need for a vehicle. Once sophomore year rolls around, and those limitations lifted, a car purchase might be in order.
College students generally don't have an extensive credit history yet and usually have an even smaller budget. Chances are, you'll be looking for a reliable used car that won't break the bank or cost time and money with breakdowns. A great place to start your search is on a website like Cars.com. You can search for the best cars currently on the market, then price models that are a few years older for significant savings. The site also offers a payment calculator that can help with estimating the impact of a car payment on your monthly budget.
When you're deciding on what car to buy, you'll need to consider not only the purchase price, but the general cost of upkeep and maintenance. Sites like Cars.com have tons of helpful articles about maintenance and upkeep to help you get a thorough idea of what car ownership entails. You will also want to factor in how much parking will cost either on campus, or in any number of paid parking lots available.
Although having a car in college represents some small freedom and opportunities to hit the open road for great adventures, they do carry considerable cost including monthly payment, insurance, parking, fuel and maintenance. Don't dive into financial ruin with your first adult purchase. Be sure these costs easily fit within your income.

3 Days After Diwali, Delhi Air Quality Dips To Record Low
HomeDelhi3 Days After Diwali, Delhi Air Quality Dips To Record Low
DelhiIndo-Asian News ServiceUpdated: November 02, 2016 10:32 pm IST
A pall of smog was hanging over Delhi since morning as pollutants hang close to the surface.
New Delhi: It was straight third day that Delhi residents woke up to a "foggy" morning, with many complaining about irritation in eyes and a cough, thanks to the air quality that plunged to the record low on Wednesday.
A pall of smog was hanging over the city since the morning as pollutants hang close to the surface. The reason was a drop in wind speed, coupled with increase in humidity and low temperature, which worsened the situation and took the Air Quality Index (AQI) to the "severe" level, said air monitoring agencies. Anand Vihar recoded AQI at 494 on Wednesday morning.
Notebly, the AQI was improved to "very poor" level on Tuesday after it was recorded at "severe level" on Monday after the Diwali night (October 30).
Adverse climatic conditions, especially low wind speed have blocked dispersal of pollutants from the air from last several days, taking the toxicity level in the region at its worst level since Diwali night, said the air monitoring agencies.
A cyclist rides along a street as smog envelops a monument.
On Wednesday, a little improvement in the AQI was seen but it still remained at the "severe" level.
Delhi resident Raunak Khot said: "Although Diwali is over, I can still smell fire-crackers. Smog can be seen through day, which is causing breathing problems."
Air quality-monitoring agencies said the pollution level will remain 'severe' for the next couple of days due to adverse climatic conditions.
According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the AQI touched the figure of 494 in Anad Vihar area on Wednesday morning. The average AQI rating for Delhi and NCR was 432, or the "severe" category.
The index stood at 445 on Monday and 389 on Tuesday.
The System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR) of the Ministry of Earth Science also painted a grim picture about the pollution in the city.
An official said that pollution level in Delhi is set to remain 'severe' for a few more days, thanks to a drop in wind speed and temperature, and increase in humidity.
"On Tuesday, wind speed had increased to two km per hour, which helped in the dispersion of pollutants to some extent. However, the wind speed is below one kmph today (Wednesday). Wind flowing from Haryana and Punjab has stopped completely. In addition, there is considerable drop in temperature and increase in humidity. All these factors have blocked dispersal of pollutants," said Neha Parkhi, a researcher at SAFAR.
Delhi has been witnessing low visibility due to higher concentration of pollutants hanging in the air, made worse by bursting of firecrackers during Diwali.
In addition, emissions from vehicular traffic and burning of agricultural residue in neighbouring states are adding to the pollution.
"Wind speed is zero; so is vertical wind speed. And the bursting of firecrackers, apart from pollution by vehicles and power plants, are contributory factors," Vivek Chattopadhyay, a member of centre for Science and Environment, told IANS.
Air quality in cities like Mumbai and Pune has however improved significantly since Diwali due to high winds.
On Wednesday, various locations across the National Capital Region showed PM2.5 and PM10 levels much above the safe limits. While PM2.5 levels ranged between 408 microns per cubic meter to over 500 microns per cubic meter, PM10 levels were between 392 microns per cubic meter to over 500 microns per cubic meter.
Particulate Matter less than 10 micrometres in diameter (PM10) are so small that they can get into lungs, likely causing serious health problems. Particulate Matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) are more refined particles produced by burning fuels.
While the concentration of sulphur dioxide was at satisfactory level, nitrogen dioxide was still in the poor category on Monday, the CPCB said.
Air quality in Varanasi reached to dangerous levels on Wednesday after PM 2.5 were found as high as 999 microns per cubic meter. Varanasi is represented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Loksabha.
Senior Pulmonologist and Director of Allergy Clinic, Dr. RN Vajpeyee told media persons that such levels are disastrous for the health of both children and old alike.

Class Action Filed Against NCAA and 20 Universities Alleging Student-Athletes with Scholarships Are Employees
By Stephanie L. Goutos on October 4, 2017
In the latest effort to argue that student athletes qualify as employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), a class action lawsuit was filed last week in a federal court in Pennsylvania against the National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") and 20 universities.
Last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed U.S. District Judge William T. Lawrence's dismissal of a student-athlete litigation against the NCAA and over 120 NCAA Division I member schools alleging that student-athletes are employees who are entitled to a minimum wage under the FLSA. Berger v. NCAA, No. 16-1558 (7th Cir. Dec. 5, 2016). Jackson Lewis had the privilege of representing 30 of the Universities named in that lawsuit. You can read more about the Berger case here.
Now, Plaintiff Lawrence "Poppy" Livers has filed a lawsuit on behalf of himself and others alleged to be similarly situated, claiming that college student athletes who receive scholarships are employees who are entitled to compensation. Plaintiff argues the "crux" of the Complaint is that recipients of athletic scholarships, which require them to participate in NCAA athletics under daily supervision of full-time coaching and training staff, are employees of NCAA member schools as much as, "and arguably more than, fellow students employed in work study programs, e.g., student ticket takers, seating attendants and food concession workers at NCAA contests."
Further, Plaintiff argues that this Complaint differs from Berger in that the putative collective in this case "only includes Scholarship Athletes, and does not address the status of 'walk-ons,' i.e., student athletes who are not obligated to, and controlled by, NCAA member schools pursuant to Athletic Financial Aid Agreements." The Plaintiffs in Berger attended the University of Pennsylvania which does not enter into Athletic Financial Aid Agreements. A copy of the Complaint in Livers can be accessed here.
We will continue to carefully monitor developments in this case and draft updates as appropriate. For more information regarding this case or the Berger case, please contact the Jackson Lewis attorney with whom you regularly work.

(Newser) – Just days after a monument honoring AK-47 designer Mikhail Kalashnikov was unveiled in Moscow, workers have removed a part of it that showed a German weapon that many believe inspired the renowned assault rifle. The monument features a towering statue of Kalashnikov and an adjacent sculpture of St. George fighting a dragon with an AK-47-tipped spear, reports the AP. Metalwork on the plinth of that statue bore etchings of guns, one of which was discovered to be of the StG44 rifle used by Nazi Germany.
I didn't know that Charlton Heston invented a machine gun.
The Russians are too busy hacking and rigging elections and are not paying attention to what is going on in their own backyard.
Guns, like art, are a complete unknown to me. They all look the same to me. I've fired M14s off the fantail of a Navy frigate, but I wouldn't recognize an M14, if I were to see one today. It's like the nuns used to tell us in school, when they couldn't answer a question: It's a mystery.
