Physicists Bring Human Scale Object Near Standstill Reaching Quantum State
Physicists bring human-scale object to near standstill, reaching a quantum state
Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office Jun. 18, 2021
To the human eye, most stationary objects appear to be just that — still, and completely at rest. Yet if we were handed a quantum lens, allowing us to see objects at the scale of individual atoms, what was an apple sitting idly on our desk would appear as a teeming collection of vibrating particles, very much in motion.

In the last few decades, physicists have found ways to super-cool objects so that their atoms are at a near standstill, or in their "motional ground state." To date, physicists have wrestled small objects such as clouds of millions of atoms, or nanogram-scale objects, into such pure quantum states.
Now for the first time, scientists at MIT and elsewhere have cooled a large, human-scale object to close to its motional ground state. The object isn't tangible in the sense of being situated at one location, but is the combined motion of four separate objects, each weighing about 40 kilograms. The "object" that the researchers cooled has an estimated mass of about 10 kilograms, and comprises about 1x1026, or nearly 1 octillion, atoms.
The researchers took advantage of the ability of the Laser Interfrometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) to measure the motion of the masses with extreme precision and super-cool the collective motion of the masses to 77 nanokelvins, just shy of the object's predicted ground state of 10 nanokelvins.
Their results, appearing today in Science, represent the largest object to be cooled to close to its motional ground state. The scientists say they now have a chance to observe the effect of gravity on a massive quantum object.
"Nobody has ever observed how gravity acts on massive quantum states," says Vivishek Sudhir, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, who directed the project. "We've demonstrated how to prepare kilogram-scale objects in quantum states. This finally opens the door to an experimental study of how gravity might affect large quantum objects, something hitherto only dreamed of."
The study's authors are members of the LIGO Laboratory, and include lead author and graduate student Chris Whittle, postdoc Evan Hall, research scientist Sheila Dwyer, Dean of the School of Science and the Curtis and Kathleen Marble Professor of Astrophysics Nergis Mavalvala, and assistant professor of mechanical engineering Vivishek Sudhir.
Precision pushback
All objects embody some sort of motion as a result of the many interactions that atoms have, with each other and from external influences. All this random motion is reflected in an object's temperature. When an object is cooled down close to zero temperature, it still has a residual quantum motion, a state called the "motional ground state."
To stop an object in its tracks, one can exert upon it an equal and opposite force. (Think of stopping a baseball in mid-flight with the force of your glove.) If scientists can precisely measure the magnitude and direction of an atom's movements, they can apply counteracting forces to bring down its temperature — a technique known as feedback cooling.
Physicists have applied feedback cooling through various means, including laser light, to bring individual atoms and ultralight objects to their quantum ground states, and have attempted to super-cool progressively larger objects, to study quantum effects in bigger, traditionally classical systems.
"The fact that something has temperature is a reflection of the idea that it interacts with stuff around it," Sudhir says. "And it's harder to isolate larger objects from all the things happening around them."
To cool the atoms of a large object to near ground state, one would first have to measure their motion with extreme precision, to know the degree of pushback required to stop this motion. Few instruments in the world can reach such precision. LIGO, as it happens, can.
The gravitational-wave-detecting observatory comprises twin interferometers in separate U.S. locations. Each interferometer has two long tunnels connected in an L-shape, and stretching 4 kilometers in either direction. At either end of each tunnel is a 40-kilogram mirror suspended by thin fibers, that swings like a pendulum in response to any disturbance such as an incoming gravitational wave. A laser at the tunnels' nexus is split and sent down each tunnel, then reflected back to its source. The timing of the return lasers tells scientists precisely how much each mirror moved, to an accuracy of 1/10,000 the width of a proton.
Sudhir and his colleagues wondered whether they could use LIGO's motion-measuring precision to first measure the motion of large, human-scale objects, then apply a counteracting force, opposite to what they measure, to bring the objects to their ground state.
Acting back on back-action
The object they aimed to cool is not an individual mirror, but rather the combined motion of all four of LIGO's mirrors.
"LIGO is designed to measure the joint motion of the four 40-kilogram mirrors," Sudhir explains. "It turns out you can map the joint motion of these masses mathematically, and think of them as the motion of a single 10-kilogram object."
When measuring the motion of atoms and other quantum effects, Sudhir says, the very act of measuring can randomly kick the mirror and put it in motion — a quantum effect called "measurement back-action." As individual photons of a laser bounce off a mirror to gather information about its motion, the photon's momentum pushes back on the mirror. Sudhir and his colleagues realized that if the mirrors are continuously measured, as they are in LIGO, the random recoil from past photons can be observed in the information carried by later photons.
Armed with a complete record of both quantum and classical disturbances on each mirror, the researchers applied an equal and opposite force with electromagnets attached to the back of each mirror. The effect pulled the collective motion to a near standstill, leaving the mirrors with so little energy that they moved no more than 10-20 meters, less than one-thousandth the size of a proton.
The team then equated the object's remaining energy, or motion, with temperature, and found the object was sitting at 77 nanokelvins, very close to its motional ground state, which they predict to be 10 nanokelvins.
"This is comparable to the temperature atomic physicists cool their atoms to get to their ground state, and that's with a small cloud of maybe a million atoms, weighing picograms," Sudhir says. "So, it's remarkable that you can cool something so much heavier, to the same temperature."
"Preparing something in the ground state is often the first step to putting it into exciting or exotic quantum states," Whittle says. "So this work is exciting because it might let us study some of these other states, on a mass scale that's never been done before."

The fear of leaving the house is a symptom of agoraphobia that can cause a panic attack to occur if untreated. Holistic methods to overcome this phobia are available.
In this article International Panic and Disorder coach Barry McDonagh explains how the phobia known as agoraphobia is linked to having panic attacks and how this dilemma has caused many sufferers to be housebound for years.
Those who suffer from the fear of leaving the house may have found this to be so traumatic, that they felt that going to a hospital to seek help in medication to calm themselves down was the only solution.
This phobia can be treated in a natural way and changing your thought patterns about the fear of leaving the house or any other fear is the start of the healing process.
I hope you will find relief in the knowledge from this article either for yourself or someone that you know who also has the fear of the leaving the house.


Medical billing is a central part of any health care practice. Medical billing is the process of translating, submitting, and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order to receive payment for services rendered by a health care provider. The medical biller is responsible for following the claims process to the end in order to ensure the practice receives reimbursement for the work the health care providers perform.
Although patient care is top priority, a medical practice is still a business. To make sure physicians are getting paid for the services they provide, they'll need knowledgeable and reliable staff managing the practice's billing. Outsourcing the billing process to a professional medical billing service helps redirect a practice's medical staff resources and focuses attention to taking care of patients' needs. Hiring an external billing service also generally increases the amount of a practice's accepted claims and payments, allowing health care professionals to be paid more with less stress and still meet the national regulations.
The question of whether or not to outsource medical billing operations weighs heavily on many doctors and other health care personnel. Medical billing regulations are complex and often change. Keeping staff up to date with the latest billing rules can be difficult. By using a medical billing service, facilities can take advantage of the service's expertise and coding knowledge to maximize insurance payments. The types of billing services that are usually outsourced include: invoicing, insurance verification, collections assistance, referral coordination, and reimbursement tracking. Third party medical billing services have increased in popularity because they have shown to reduce costs and to allow physicians and other medical staff to focus on health care without having to worry about the administrative tasks that consume time.
Medical billers must understand how to read a medical record and are typically in charge of assembling all data concerning the patient's bill. Such information can include visitation notes, claims transmission, payment posting, insurance follow-up, and patient follow-up.
Because electronic medical billing is a process that involves a health care provider submitting claims to health insurance companies, medical billers are encouraged, but not required by law, to become certified. By taking an exam such as the CMRS Exam or RHIA Exam a medical biller can become certified. These certifications are intended to provide a theoretical grounding for those entering the medical billing field and creates an understanding between the insurance and provider relationship.
A Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist (CMRS) credential is a national certificate provided by the American Medical Billing Association. CMRS certification is voluntary. Although there is no law requiring a medical billing professional to become certified, the goal is to provide a professional certification that recognizes a recipient of having a high standard of knowledge and competency in the field of medical billing. Sections on the exam cover insurance, medical terminology, information technology, fraud and abuse, compliance, and a few other categories. You may find a CMRS Study Guide in each of the current year's code books. The exam is comprised of 80% of the study guide. This exam is recognized by coders, billers, and employers.
A Registered Health Information Administrator credential is a professional certification administered by the American Health Information Management Association, resulting in licensure for health information management. The RHIA certification prepares recipients for careers in health information and medical records management, including systems that capture and report on health care-related data for care performance evaluation. There have been a rise in job opportunities throughout the healthcare industry for RHIAs existing in nonpatient care, managed care and other settings. Review the eligibility requirements for the RHIAs to be sure that having completed the academic requirements for the RHIAs are enough. Early testing is available if you are in your final term of your CHIIM-accredited program.
How much do Medical Billers earn?
A medical biller's earning potential varies depending on where they live, work, how much they work, education/certification, and related experience. According to the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC), the average medical biller earns an annual salary of over $60,000. The AAPC predicts that the medical billing and coding profession is expected to see substantial employment growth of 21% by 2020. Salary.com offers the average annual salary for a Medical Billing Clerk is $34,388 in 2016, enter your specific data to get more information on local average medical billing salary by city, state or zip code.
Medical billing is generally available to those with a high school diploma or equivalent GED certificate. However, many employers have begun looking only at candidates who have certification. In order to have a competitive advantage in the job market, expect to learn basic medical terminology and diagnosis, procedure, supply, and medicine codes. Be sure to also stay current with governmental laws and regulations governing the healthcare industry (i.e., the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Affordable Care Act, Stark Laws, False Claims Act, and Fair Debt Collection Act).
When a patient calls to set up an appointment with a health care provider, their information and reason for the visit is filed with the provider.
Financial responsibility determines who owes what and how much for a doctor's visit. Once the biller has the pertinent information, they can determine which services are covered under the patient's insurance plan. If the patient's insurance does not cover the service being provided, the biller must make the patient aware that they will be expected to cover the entirety of the bill.
When the patient arrives at the health care facility, they will be asked to complete some forms or confirm the information on file, as well as provide some sort of official identification (i.e., a driver's license or passport) and a valid insurance card. The provider's office will also collect co-payments during patient check-in or check-out.
Once the patient checks out, the medical report from that patient's visit is translated into medical code. This report is called the superbill. The superbill contains all of the necessary information about the medical service provided for the creation of the claim: the names of the provider, physician and patient, the procedures performed, and the codes for the diagnosis and procedure. Once complete, the superbill is then transferred to the medical biller.
The medical biller takes the superbill and inputs it into a claim form. Billers will then send the amount they expect to be paid by the client as laid out in the contract between the patient and provider.
While claims may vary in format, they typically have the same basic information. Each claim contains the patient information and the procedures performed during the visit. Claims also list the provider and a Place of Service code detailing what type of facility the service(s) were performed in.
Billers must also ensure that the bill meets the standards of billing compliance. Billers must follow guidelines laid out by HIPAA and the Office of the Inspector General.
Since the 1996 HIPAA, all health entities covered (providers, clearinghouses, and payers) by HIPAA have been required to submit their claims to insurance companies electronically. The submission process itself presents unique challenges because of the standardized claim forms used industry wide, the CMS-1500 (the standardized claims submission form) and the UB-04 (the institutional providers' uniform bill). The medical biller is responsible for accurately completing and understanding these forms.
Once a claim reaches a payer, it undergoes adjudication, a process in which a payer evaluates a medical claim and decides whether the claim is accepted, denied, or rejected, and how much of the claim the payer will reimburse the provider for if accepted.
An accepted claim is one that has been found valid by the payer, however, accepted does not mean that the payer will pay the entirety of the bill. Rather, the claim will be processed within the rules of the arrangement between the insurance company and patient.
A rejected claim is one that the insurance company has found some error with, for example missing information or miscoded procedure or diagnosis. If rejected, the claim will be returned to the provider for correction and resubmission.
A denied claim is one that the insurance company refuses to process for the services rendered. This may occur when a provider bills for a procedure that is not included in a patient's insurance plan.
Once the adjudication is completed, the payer will send a report to the provider, detailing what and how much of the claim they are willing to pay and why. The provider then reviews this report, check to make sure the codes listed on the payer's report match those of the initial claim, and check to make sure the fees in the report are accurate according to the contract. If there are any discrepancies, the provider will file an appeal with the insurance company in an attempt to secure the proper reimbursement for the services.
Once the biller has received the insurance report, they create a statement for the patient. The statement is the remaining amount of the bill for the procedures the patient received from the provider that wasn't paid for by the insurance.
The final phase of the billing process is ensuring those bills get paid. Billers are in charge of mailing out accurate bills in a timely manner, and then following up with patients whose bills are not paid. Once a bill is paid in full, such information is stored with the patient's file. If the patient doesn't pay or they do not pay the full amount, it is the responsibility of the biller to contact the patient directly, send follow-up bills, or enlist the help of a collection agency in order to ensure payment is made.
Although medical billing and medical coding are two very similar disciplines and salaries, many medical billers are also medical coders and vice versa, there is a difference between the two fields. Medical billers focus on providing accurate and timely reimbursement based on the codes used; while medical coders concentrate on the transformation of health care data into universal medical alphanumeric codes.
While both professions strive to the adhere to the guidelines and regulations, medical coders usually deal in a wider range of coding theory, while medical billers are more knowledgeable about commercial insurance requirements and what codes can be billed. Another difference between medical coders and billers are the types of certifications available for each profession. Medical billers are given two certification options: Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist or Registered Health Information Administrator. Medical coders are offered six: Certified Professional Coder, Certified Outpatient Coding, Certified Inpatient Coder, Certified Risk Adjustment Coder, Certified Professional Coder – Payer, and Specialty Coding Certification.
The daily operations of medical practices often go hand in hand with the billing process. Therefore, most medical billing services offer practice management and electronic health records programs in addition to their billing services, or they will integrate their billing process with the practice's current system. Keep in mind that good electronic records programs should be certified to help the health care facility meet the "meaningful use" standards of the 1996 HIPPA.
Every day it seems like something new is changing in the insurance world. Keeping up with that rapidly changing and expanding knowledge base of the insurance world is time consuming and frustrating. A medical biller's job is to know and incorporate the most up to date information on industry regulations, procedures, and requirements so medical professionals don't have to.
While looking for the best medical billing for a practice, be sure to focus on the companies with extensive experience in working with patient information and insurance claims. Billing errors can cause significant problems for a medical practice and patients, so look for a service that has tools in place to minimize claim rejections and denials. Also, be sure to stay to date with the latest government regulations to avoid penalties.

John Wilkins
Posted on January 5, 2021 January 28, 2021 by Heather Etteridge
Whilst we can usually find the names of our ancestors in parish registers and, sometimes, reference to the place where they lived, the registers rarely tell us whereabouts in a town or village our ancestors actually lived.
If our ancestors were sufficiently wealthy to own property, we may be fortunate to find surviving deeds and/or reference to our ancestors in manorial records, which may also provide a detailed description of where they may have lived.
Even if our forebears were not wealthy enough to own land, deeds (and sometimes manorial records), may provide the name or names of the occupiers of a property or a piece of land, as not all property and land was occupied by the owner.
House along the Great Ellingham to Shropham Road
Deeds relating to a property in what we today know as Church Street, tell us that at the end of the eighteenth century, John Wilkins lived in one of the properties in this street.
He occupied part of the property shown numbered 273 on the above map. Another part was of the property was occupied by Sarah Coe.
In 1800, the whole property (and it was at some point divided into three tenements) was owned by widow Mary Barnard, who became Mary Warren in the same year on her marriage to William Warren. Mary had inherited the property (along with others) on the death of her husband Charles Barnard in 1796. Charles had owned the property since the death of his father, John Barnard, in 1782.
John Wilkins' Wife & Family
A son of John and Sarah Wilkins, John Wilkins was baptised in the church of St James on the 3rd April, 1739. John Wilkins may well have spent his entire life in Great Ellingham.
Around the age of 24, John married local girl Ann Large on the 29th November, 1763 in the same church.
Just over a month after the wedding, on the 1st January, 1764, John and Ann Wilkins took their son, John, to St James's church for baptism. Son John was followed by Anne, baptised in 1766, Edward who was baptised in 1768, Elizabeth in 1772, Mary 1774. Children John and Mary died in infancy.
Ann Wilkins gave birth to another daughter, Mary, who was baptised in 1775. A further daughter, Lucy, was baptised in 1796. The parish register specifically confirms that Lucy was the daughter of John and Ann Wilkins late Large spinster. However, given that Ann Wilkins would have been around the age of 60 in 1796, I wonder whether Lucy was indeed their daughter, or, perhaps, Lucy was not an infant or young child when she was baptised?
I do not know the exact period that John Wilkins lived in the house in Church Street. However, extracts of deeds relating to the property and the will of John Barnard tell us that in 1777, John Wilkins was not one of the occupiers of property. However, when Charles Barnard died in 1796, John Wilkins was in occupation. Accordingly, John Wilkins with his wife and children, moved into the house in Church Street after 1777 but before 1796.
The name of John Wilkins of Great Ellingham appears in a Poll Book for the year 1768 as being a person eligible to vote either by owning freehold land or by meeting property requirements. However, I cannot be certain that this is the same John Wilkins.
John Wilkins was buried in the churchyard of St James on the 1st August, 1808. He would have been around the age of 69. His widow, Ann, survived him by some 20 years. Ann Wilkins was buried in the same churchyard on the 13th June, 1828. She was 93.

Goldman Sachs loses co-president
Wendy Blake
Narrowing the field of challengers for the top job at Goldman Sachs, Co-president and COO John Thornton has announced that he will retire to teach at a Chinese university.
Mr. Thornton, 49, who joined the firm in 1980, has shared the No. 2 title at the firm since 1999 with John Thain, 47. Both have been viewed by some as potential successors for the top job, held by CEO Henry Paulson, 56. Other possible candidates are Robert Steel, 52, and Lloyd Blankfein, 48, vice chairmen of the hugely profitable fixed-income, currency and commodities division.
Mr. Thornton will leave on July 1 to become a full professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing, becoming the first non-Chinese to receive such an appointment since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the firm said. He will continue to serve as a senior adviser to Goldman, offering guidance on China strategy.

TAMPA, Fla. (FOX 13) - Christmas came a little early for thousands of children in the Bay Area Saturday.
More than 15,000 gifts were given away during WWE star Titus O'Neil's Joy of Giving 2018.
The kids ran towards Raymond James Stadium in excitement when doors opened around 10 a.m.
Each child had a smile on his or her face when they received a Christmas gift during the 9th year for the event.
Nancy Reyna waited in line with her son before sunrise and says it really helps during a time of year when money can be tight.
Titus O'Neil put the giveaway together because he says he had a rough upbringing and wanted to give back.
"Coming from my situation having a single parent mother…when people invested in me when they had nothing in return is why I'm even in the situation to be able to do this," O'Neil said.
Families also enjoyed a free meal, live music and plenty of games.

Review by DollarBill
First and only time at this venue, second show of the tour and I wish I had better things to say about it. The recording takes a little while to get settled in, but is otherwise standard for this time period.
The first set cuts in on a pretty good Axilla although the recording is awful at first, the taper and Paul settle in nicely. Foam also has some leveling going on and is loosely played in the middle section. Bouncing should be standard, but had a bad ending from Trey. Maze is well played and has nice solos. Fast Enough is good, as is a pretty tight ATR. Stash has a really nice jam in it. This is definitely one of the highlights tonight. Lizards is good. Ah! The first Sample comes out strong, except limited harmonies from Page and Fish missed the count in the bridge hold. Right into a solid Glide. Antelope makes for a nice closer, but is loosely played the middle making it sound a little off to me.
Good Chalkdust to open the second set. The second Wedge in as many shows is better than the first. I still can't get over how different it was. Nice soloing from Page. Mike's was just ok, with a lot of uncertainty about how and where the jam was going. TMWSIY was pretty good at both ends of an average Avenu. There is some rust showing here too. Weekapaug was rocking and very dynamic with another uncertain ending tonight. They are just not locking in. Lawn Boy was sloppy on Mike's end and a little on Trey's. Pen was also a little off at times including the drums at the beginning. The Ball Jam also has an uncertain ending. Fish even messes up the lyrics to Lengthwise? But it does have a nice reggae swing to it! Hood is sloppy but has a decent ending. Cavern is also sloppy. Not sure what happened but, this show went off in the wrong direction on all the endings of the songs. Definitely below average playing tonight.
The new Amazing Grace brings the usual shushing of the crowd and is less than stellar with their intonation. An ok GTBT finishes off a rough night in Providence.
Review by Penn42
**This is my second of (hopefully) 71 reviews as I listen to the entire winter/spring '93 tour.**
Overall this show is more or less (mostly less, really) on-par with last night's show. I'd maybe rate it a bit lower because there are a couple significant flubs, there's no big centerpiece jam like last night's YEM > Lifeboy, and it doesn't feel super homogenous. Individually, most songs are played well, but they don't fit together to make a spectacular whole. You know how some sets really come together despite no particularly outstanding tracks? These sets don't really have that.
Not all is lost, though. The highlights of set uno include a Stash that briefly gets freaky, Fast Enough For You because it's Fast Enough For You (what a great song, that's all I've got to say), and a really raging Antelope closer. This 'Lope is good. Page gets to shine for a while and it peaks well. The debut of Sample In A Jar is marred by a big flub late in the tune. But we'll let it slide since it's surrounded by solid renditions of The Lizards and Glide.
Slot dos of set dos boasts the dos performance of The Wedge. This early arrangement of The Wedge doesn't completely work. Some of the transitions are weird and it never really gels because of it. The skeleton of a fun song is there but it needs a little more work. I'll hazard that the band felt similarly considering it was soon shelved to only reappear once it found itself some new skin in '95. TMWSIY > Avenu Malkenu > TMWSIY as the meat of Mike's Groove is refreshing. Those song pairings work nicely together. Despite Roses Are Free debuting nearly five years later, the Push th' Little Daisies quotes at the end of this Weekapaug show they were Ween fans far before 12.11.97. It's funny to think that at this point none of them had even heard Roses (it would be released as part of the album Chocolate and Cheese in '94) yet it's the song that made it into their repertoire. Now, I'm no expert on the song, but this is probably the best Lengthwise ever. It includes full band accompaniment behind Fish. Harry Hood is a little messy, but the jam builds nicely.
I wouldn't feel too bad about skipping this show if you haven't heard it. None if it is bad, per se, but when taken as a whole, there's not much you're missing. There are many better constructed shows out there. Last night's for example. If you're looking for the single song highlight, check out the Antelope.
Review by markgleicher
My second show.They flubbed the big build up>drop back in ('...seem all wrrrooooonnnggg') during Sample.The Lengthwise was the best I've ever heard.I remember thinking how awesome it was that a band would sing a song like Lengthwise.How it just repeats the same words over and over but with different inflections giving alternate meanings to each passing phrase.I also remember that the light show was minimal and there were those Minkin brushstroke back drops.Even though I enjoy the lights these days it was nice when it was just the band and the music as the show.This was an awesome show and it was the final hook that reeled me in for life.

Providence Performing Arts Center, Providence RI
First Set: ~75 minutes
Second Set: ~81 minutes
I did not attend this show
The first set of this show features solid renditions of setlist staples such as "Foam", "Axilla", and "The Lizards", as well as the debut of the oft-played "Sample in a Jar." The band clearly had not perfected it yet, for there's a pretty major flub during the buildup. Trey laughs it off however, and it doesn't hurt the flow of the set. "Maze" and "Stash" both make appearances here, both of which can lead to some impressive improvisational highlights, but the versions played here are fairly standard. It's a fun set with no major hiccups or poor song choices, but not one that I am likely to revisit in the future.
Set 2 kicks off with the high energy "Chalk Dust Torture" before moving into the first surprise of the night, an unusually played "The Wedge." As the second ever performance of the song, the band is clearly still figuring out what they can do with the song. The result is a slightly jammed out ending to the song that is far different from the fairly composed version of the song that is played today. Definitely worth checking out for fans of the song!
The meat of the second set comes in the form of a Mike's Groove with a TMWSIY sandwich. The somewhat rare middle segment is always a joy to hear, and the Weekapaug Groove features some very strong improvising from Trey. After breezing through a few "breathers" and the always-silly HYHU segment, the band band provides one more flash of excellence in a well-played Harry Hood before wrapping up the set with "Cavern".
This is a fun show with a fun Mike's Groove, unusual "Wedge", and all around solid playing from all members of the band. Not an essential listen, but you won't be disappointed either.

How precision medicine is radically improving health care
Orion Health
Orion Health releases precision medicine report
London 21st March 2016 - Do you have the cheating gene? Are you looking after your stomach bugs? Did your father suffer famine before puberty? The answer to these questions could change – even save –your life with the advent of precision medicine.
Orion Health has released a report 'Introducing Precision Medicine', about the practice of enabling personalised health care by capturing and analysing all the information that is relevant to maintaining a consumer's wellbeing.
"Only 10% of an individual's health is determined by their medical history, but currently that is all the information a doctor has access to," said Orion Health CEO Ian McCrae.
"More significant is the person's genetic makeup which determines 30% of his or her health outcome. Information from 'exogenous sources', that is a person's diet, living and social circumstances determines 60%. In total, 90% of the information required for specific, individual treatment is not being captured today, but that is changing rapidly with the introduction of precision medicine."
McCrae said there is a growing body of international research that is identifying and enabling the capture of data that is vital for the practice of precision medicine. The report considers four keys areas:
Genome mapping - finding out all the genetic material present in a human cell. That's the information which determines the colour of your eyes, or hair, or how susceptible you may be to certain diseases. It can also, according to a Swedish study, determine if you have the genetic variation that makes you more susceptible to cheating on your partner.
It looks at the 100 trillion bugs that exist in our bodies and which are collectively known as the Human Microbiome. They outnumber human cells by a least three to one, but medical science is finding that they can be immensely beneficial, especially the bugs that reside in our stomachs.
The report discusses Epigenetics, which is how your genetic make-up can be altered by external events that are experienced by your parents and grandparents. In one study it was found that men whose grandfather's experienced famine before they reached puberty were less likely to develop heart disease or diabetes.
Lastly, there is the role of fitness apps and devices in contributing to a consumer's ongoing wellness. Information from the apps that track fitness and sleep patterns will soon feed directly into an electronic patient record, and provide doctors with a richer understanding of an individual's health and wellbeing.
McCrae said that precision medicine – with its focus on keeping people healthy and out of hospital for as long as possible – makes good economic sense.
"As governments around the world grapple with the rising cost of healthcare driven by an ageing population, they are realising the importance of precision medicine. U.S. President Barak Obama has launched the Precision Medicine Initiative, while in Britain they have begun the 100,000 Genomes Project," Mr McCrae said.
In New Zealand Orion Health have announced the Precision Driven Health research programme, a $38 million public-private venture in conjunction with Waitemata District Health Board and the University of Auckland, and with support from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Colin Henderson, country manager, Orion Health UK and Ireland commented: "In the UK the shift from a 'one size fits all' approach to personalised medicine is already on the way through various initiatives such as Genomics England. We are on the cusp of a medical revolution, which will be underpinned by data. Health information sytems are essential to processing this data to enable this revolution to happen".

Colin Henderson will be speaking about precision medicine and how it is enabled by health information systems at the eHealthWeek conference in London on 19th/20th April.

Sweden's Court Rules In Beit Menachem Case
by Baila Olidort - GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN
A stunning ruling by Sweden's Supreme Court yesterday brought to a close the two-year struggle of a Jewish couple fighting to keep a small school open against impending closure by the government.
In a 14-page decision on Jewish Day School Beit Menachem vs. Skolverkert, Chief Justice Marja Regner wrote that Jewish children in Sweden are entitled to the kind of intensive Jewish education that Beit Menachem offers. The decision validated the defendants' arguments that Judaism is not a subject, but rather a way of life, and that in advancing this kind of education, Beit Menachem is providing an important service which qualifies the school even though it may not meet the requisite 20-student enrollment.
"It's a very happy day for us," says Leah Namdar, founder of the school with her husband Alexander, and Chabad representatives to Sweden. "The court accepted all the points we made in presenting our case that our school is providing a unique Jewish education that is critical to a Jewish way of life."
According to Professor Elinor Ben Menachem, a neurologist at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden, the decision by Sweden's high court "is the greatest recognition that Judaism has ever had in Sweden. It is a very proud day for Sweden's Jews."
The decision has far-reaching ramifications for Jewish life in Sweden that go beyond the question of whether the school would continue to function. For families who send their children to Beit Menachem, it was a question of whether they would be able to continue living in Sweden if the school were forced to close down. Lucy Weltman, a psychotherapist familiar with the school and a member of Gothenburg's Jewish community told lubavitch.com in an earlier interview that "the only way committed Jews could ever live in Sweden with children, is if this school exists." In fact, the ruling acknowledged that Beit Menachem is "the only Orthodox Jewish school in all of Sweden and in all of Scandinavia," and that the Montessori Jewish Samskola—the other Jewish school in Gothenburg, is liberal in its interpretation of Judaism and thus not an alternative for families wanting a Torah-oriented education for their children.
"Judaism affects children's daily lives every hour of the day, and attention must be given to small details in the course of the day," wrote the Judge. This is something the children can only get in Beit Menachem—where there is a Jewish atmosphere that permeates the school day," her decision read.
Rabbi Alex Namdar says this ruling sets a precedent in Sweden. "The court's ruling indicates that adherence to a religious Jewish way of life warrants an exception. Until now, religion was a trivial issue, maybe important for some, but surely not more important than school regulations. With this decision, this is no longer the case."
Since word got out yesterday, the Namdars' phone lines and emails have been flooded with congratulatory blessings. "People are overcome with joy and pride at the news," says Leah. "You need to understand that here, for Sweden's Jews who generally feel that they need to keep a low profile and blend in, this result is tremendous."
Judy Klecki, a parent of one the students, says the court's decision is nothing short of amazing. "It may well be a forerunner to having brit-milah unrestricted," she says, referring to Sweden's restrictions on circumcisions.
The Judge's decision, observes Professor Ben Menachem, essentially recognizes the importance of the continuity of the Jewish spirit and Jewish tradition despite the fact that Swedish Jews are so assimilated, "and this is very important for anti-Semitism," she says. "The decision recognized that Beit Menachem is teaching loving-kindness towards others, and morals of ethics of Torah. That there is even a small group of children being raised with these morals is important for the whole of Swedish culture."
Upon receiving the decision, Rabbi and Mrs. Namdar celebrated with their students at a school assembly. "The students were proud and especially honored that their school's survival had captured international interest," says Leah.
Paulina Wenkel, an 11-year-old student at Beit Menachem was thrilled with the verdict. "It means so much to me that the school continues--this is where I learned how to be a Jew," she said.
In a perfect denouement to this case, the celebration coincided with the last day of Chanukah—the Jewish holiday that celebrates the victory of right over might, the few over the many, spirit over matter. "We—together with our students—gave a lot of thought to this—coming as it did on the last day of Chanukah, which is all about the struggle to preserve the Jewish spirit and the Jewish way of life against attempts to suppress it," said Rabbi Namdar.
Indeed, the Namdars, who, as Orthodox Jews, are a minority within a minority, have come to represent the proverbial few against the many. And in an entrenched secular environment averse to expressions of religious difference, the Namdars—unmistakably Chasidic in their convictions and commitment to a deeply observant lifestyle—have become the bold representatives of religious Jewish assertion.
Leah says that she and her husband feel "as though a decree against us has finally been lifted," and are thankful that the court "really listened" to the information they presented. The Namdars spoke gratefully of the support and encouragement they received from the local community, and their fellow Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries around the world and in their own region. "We are humbled by the great news, by the kindness of G-d in this victory in Supreme court," says Rabbi Namdar.
"Now we are free to grow, to expand the Göteborgs Judiska Friskola Beit Menachem school in so many ways, and enrich Jewish life in Sweden," says Leah.
The Namdars are a feisty team who recognize that their life-long commitment to Jewish outreach is not without some bumps along the way. But they feel privileged to be serving the Jewish community, and say that they feel continually blessed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory, who appointed them as Shluchim in 1991. "The Rebbe's inspiration continues to guide us and sustains us in a very essential way in our lives and in our work."

\section{Introduction}
  The diboson production plays an important role in electroweak precision measurements and searches for
  the New Physics (NP) which may exist at some energy scale $\Lambda$. The search for the NP is often
  related to the precision measurements such those of the cross sections and the trilinear gauge
  boson couplings (TGCs). More discussions about these TGC parameters can be found in~\cite{tgc}.
  Depending on the NP scenario, these observables are expected to
  deviate from their SM predictions. The charged TGCs studied in $WW$ and $W\gamma$ production are
  $(\Delta{g_{1}^{Z}},\Delta\kappa_{\gamma,Z},\lambda)$ and $(\Delta\kappa_{\gamma},\lambda)$, respectively,
  and $(\Delta{g_{1}^{Z}},\Delta\kappa_{Z},\lambda)$ in $WZ$ production, where $\Delta$ represents the
  deviation from the SM prediction. In the SM, $\Delta{g_{1}^{Z}}=\Delta\kappa_{\gamma,Z}=\lambda=$ 0. The
  neutral TGCs $h_{30,40}^{\gamma,Z}$ studied in $Z\gamma$ production are not allowed in the SM and their
  values are predicted to be zero. Besides, the diboson production is an important background to studies
  of the top quark and searches for the Higgs boson and SUSY particles. The most precise knowledge
  of background processes and their proper modeling is highly valuable for current and future studies.

\section{Diboson Production}

\subsection{$Z\gamma\rightarrow\nu\nu\gamma$}

  The $Z\gamma$ events are reconstructed from 3.6 fb$^{-1}$ of D{\O} data. Candidate events are
  required to have one isolated central photon ($|\eta_{det}|<$ 1.1~\cite{measures}) with $E_{T}>$
  90~GeV and $\not{\!\!E_{T}}>70$~GeV. The pointing algorithm~\cite{pointalg} is used in order to
  reduce the contribution from bremsstrahlung photons. After all selection criteria were applied 51
  $\nu\nu\gamma$ candidate events are observed. The predicted numbers of signal and background events
  are $33.7\pm{3.4}$ and $17.3\pm{2.4}$, respectively. The dominant background events are
  $W\rightarrow{e}\nu$ in which the electron is misidentified as a photon and it contributes with
  $9.7\pm 0.6$ events. The measured cross section is
  $\sigma_{ZZ}\times{BR(Z\rightarrow\nu\nu)}=32\pm{9}(stat+syst)\pm{2}(lumi)$ fb~\cite{ZgammaI} which
  is in agreement with the next-to-leading (NLO) cross section of ($39\pm 4$) fb~\cite{NLOgenZgamma}.
  The observed signal significance is 5.1 standard deviations (s.d.). Furthermore, the photon $E_{T}$
  spectrum shown in~Fig.~\ref{Fig1}, is used to set the limits on $ZZ\gamma$ and $Z\gamma\gamma$ TGCs.
  The 95$\%$ C.L one-dimensional limits for ${h_{30,40}^{\gamma,Z}}$ at $\Lambda = 1.5$~TeV are
  $|h_{30}^{\gamma}|<0.036$, $|h_{30}^{Z}|<0.035$ and $|h_{40}^{\gamma,Z}|<0.0019$~\cite{ZgammaI}. The
  combination with the previous results in the most restrictive limits on these couplings at 95$\%$ C.L.
  of $|h_{30}^{\gamma,Z}|<0.033$ and $|h_{40}^{\gamma,Z}|<0.0017$ of which three of them
  ($h_{40}^{\gamma},h_{40}^{Z}$ and $h_{30}^{Z}$) are world's best to date.

\subsection{$ZZ\rightarrow\nu\nu{l^{+}l^{-}}$}

  For the first time, the $ZZ$ production in the $\nu\nu{ll}$ ($l=e,\mu$) final states has been studied
  at the D{\O} using 2.7 fb$^{-1}$ of data~\cite{llnunu}. The analysis builds up a new variable
  $\not{\!\!E^{'}_{T}}$, highly discriminating against the $Z\rightarrow{ll}$ background events. Its purpose
  is to minimize the mismeasurement of the transverse momentum of either the charged leptons or the hadronic
  recoil system which contributes to the reconstructed $\not{\!\!E_{T}}$. In the electron channel
  $\not{\!\!E^{'}_{T}}$ is required to be $>27$~GeV, and in the muon channel $\not{\!\!E^{'}_{T}}>30(35)$~GeV for
  data collected during 2002-2006 (2006-2008). In addition, each channel requires that there
  are only two oppositely charged isolated leptons with $p_{T}>15$~GeV with the dilepton invariant mass is
  ($70<M_{ll}<110$)~GeV. Events with additional lepton of the same family are vetoed. Further separation
  between the signal and $WW,~WZ,~W$+jets, $ZZ\rightarrow{l^{+}l^{-}}$ backgrounds uses the likelihood
  discriminant. The total number of 43 candidate events has been selected of which $26.5\pm{0.5}$ are
  predicted to be the background. The observed signal significance is 2.6 s.d. and the measured cross
  section is $\sigma_{ZZ}=2.01\pm{0.93}(stat)\pm{0.29}(syst)$ pb which is consistent with the NLO SM
  predicted cross section of $1.4\pm{0.1}$ pb~\cite{zztheory}.

\subsection{$ZZ\rightarrow{l^{+}l^{-}l^{'+}l^{'-}}$}

  Sensitivity to single lepton cuts plays an important role when selecting $l^{+}l^{-}l^{'+}l^{'-}$
  events ($l,l^{'}=e~or~\mu$). Application of tighter selection criteria such as lepton $p_{T}$, dilepton
  invariant mass and lepton isolation, relative to the previous D{\O} analysis~\cite{zzevid}, results in the first
  observation of the $ZZ$ production at a hadron collider. The analysis uses 1.7 fb$^{-1}$ of D{\O} data in which
  four isolated leptons with $p_{T}>15$~GeV are required to be within $|\eta_{det}|<2$ if muons and
  $|\eta_{det}|<1.1$ or $1.5<|\eta_{det}|<3.2$ if electrons. Two most energetic leptons in the $\mu\mu\mu\mu$ or
  $eeee$ channel are required to have $p_{T}>30(25)$~GeV. Events are required to have at least one $Z$ with an
  invariant mass greater than 70~GeV and the other greater than 50~GeV. In the $ee\mu\mu$ channel the two most
  energetic electrons or muons must have $p_{T}>25(15)$~GeV. Lepton candidates are required to be spatially
  separated by $R>0.2$ ($R=\sqrt{(\Delta\eta)^{2}+(\Delta\phi)^{2}}$) to reduce $Z\rightarrow\mu\mu$ background.
  The total of 3 events, two in the $eeee$ channel and one in the $\mu\mu\mu\mu$ channel, were observed. The SM
  signal and background are expected to contribute with $1.89\pm{0.08}$ and $0.14^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$ events,
  respectively. The observed signal significance is $5.3\sigma$ and the measured cross section
  $\sigma_{ZZ}=1.75^{+1.27}_{-0.86}(stat)\pm{0.13}(syst)$ pb~\cite{zzobs} is in agreement with the SM
  prediction~\cite{zztheory}. The combination with previous analyses~\cite{llnunu} and~\cite{zzevid} results in
  the observed signal significance of $5.7\sigma$ and the measured cross section is
  $\sigma_{ZZ}=1.60\pm{0.63}(stat)^{+0.16}_{-0.17}(syst)$ pb.

\subsection{$WZ\rightarrow{jjll}$}

  A search for anomalous $ZWW$ TGCs in the $jjll$ final states results in setting the 95\% C.L. limits on
  $\Delta\kappa_{Z},\lambda$ and $\Delta{g_{1}^{Z}}$ using the $p_{T}^{ll}$ distribution, and the 95\% C.L.
  limits on the cross section for the $WZ$ production~\cite{lljj}. This preliminary result is obtained using
  1.9 fb$^{-1}$ of CDF data selecting events with two high $p_{T}$ leptons and two jets. The $p_{T}^{ll}$
  phase space is divided in three regions: control region used to validate the data modeling ($105-140$~GeV),
  medium ($140-210$~GeV) and high ($>210$~GeV) regions. The medium and high $p_{T}^{ll}$ regions are used to
  perform the measurements. Total number of
  observed (predicted) events is 97 ($71.4\pm{0.5}$) and 12 ($9.74\pm{0.18}$) in the medium and high region,
  respectively. The observed 95\% C.L. limits on TGCs are $-1.09<\Delta\kappa_{Z}<1.40$, $-0.18<\lambda <0.18$
  and $-0.22<\Delta{g_{1}^{Z}}<0.32$ for $\Lambda=1.5$~TeV, and $-1.01<\Delta\kappa_{Z}<1.27$,
  $-0.16<\lambda{<0.17}$ and $-0.20<\Delta{g_{1}^{Z}}<0.29$ for $\Lambda =2$~TeV. Unbinned MC fit to data in
  the dijet mass distribution results in the 95\% C.L. cross section limits of 234 fb and 135 fb for medium
  and high region, respectively.

\subsection{$WW\rightarrow{l}\nu{l'}\nu$}

  The most precise $WW$ cross section measurement at a hadron collider is performed analyzing the
  $l\nu{l'}\nu$ ($l,l'=e,\mu$) final states with 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of D{\O} data~\cite{lnulnu}. In each $ll'$
  final state ($ee,\mu\mu$ or $e\mu$) the two most energetic leptons are required to have $p_{T}>25~(15)$~GeV,
  to be of opposite charge and to be spatially separated from each other by $R>0.8$ ($ee$) and $R>0.5$ ($e\mu$).
  The $Z/\gamma^{*}\rightarrow{ll}$ background is effectively removed requiring $\not{\!\!E_{T}}>45$ ($ee$),
  20 ($e\mu$) or 35 ($\mu\mu$)~GeV, $\not{\!\!E_{T}}>50$~GeV if $|M_{Z}-m_{ee}|<6$~GeV ($ee$),
  $\Delta\phi_{\mu\mu}<2.45$ and $\not{\!\!E_{T}}>40$~GeV if $\Delta\phi_{e\mu}>2.8$. Imposing the upper cut
  on the transverse momentum of the $WW$ system, of 20 ($ee$), 25 ($e\mu$) and 16 ($\mu\mu$)~GeV minimizes
  the $t\bar{t}$ background. After all selection criteria were applied, all three combined channels yield
  100 candidate events, $38.19\pm{4.01}$ predicted background events and $64.70\pm{1.12}$ predicted signal
  events. The cross section measurements in the individual channels are combined, yielding
  $\sigma_{WW}=11.5\pm{2.1}(stat+syst)\pm{0.7}(lumi)$ pb which is in agreement with the SM NLO prediction of
  $12.4\pm{0.8}$ pb~\cite{zztheory}. The $p_{T}$ distributions of the leading and trailing leptons were used
  to set limits on anomalous TGCs considering two different parameterizations between the couplings. The
  one-dimensional 95\% C.L. limits for $\Lambda=2$~TeV are $-0.54<\Delta\kappa_{\gamma}<0.83$,
  $-0.14<\lambda_{\gamma}=\lambda_{Z}<0.18$ and $-0.14<\Delta{g_{1}^{Z}}<0.30$ under the
  $SU(2)_{L}\times{U(1)_{Y}}$-conserving constraints~\cite{su2u1}, and
  $-0.12<\Delta\kappa_{\gamma}=\Delta\kappa_{Z}<0.35$ and $-0.14<\lambda_{\gamma}=\lambda_{Z}<0.18$ under the
  assumption that $\gamma{WW}$ and $ZWW$ couplings are equal.

\subsection{$WW+WZ\rightarrow{l}\nu{jj}$}

  This analysis results in the first evidence for the $WW/WZ$ production in the $l\nu{jj}$ final states at the
  hadron collider with 1.1 fb$^{-1}$ of D{\O} data~\cite{lnujj}. Selected $l\nu{jj}$ ($l=e,\mu$) candidate
  events are required to have a single isolated lepton with $p_T>20$~GeV and $|\eta|<1.1\ (2.0)$ for electrons
  (muons), $\not{\!\!E_{T}}>20$~GeV and at least two jets with $p_T>20$~GeV. The jet of highest $p_T$ must have
  $p_T>30$~GeV and the transverse mass of leptonically decaying $W$ boson must be $>35$~GeV to reduce the multijet
  background. Because of the small signal-to-background ratio ($3\%$), an accurate modeling of the dominant
  $W$+jets background is essential and therefore, studied in great detail. After all selection criteria were
  applied, the signal and the backgrounds are further separated using a multivariate classifier, Random Forest
  (RF)~\cite{SPR}. The signal cross section is determined from a fit of signal and background RF templates to the
  data with respect to variations in the systematic uncertainties~\cite{poisson} and is measured to be
  $\sigma_{WW+WZ}=20.2\pm{2.5}(stat)\pm{3.6}(syst)\pm{1.2}(lumi)$~pb which is consistent with the SM NLO prediction
  of $\sigma(WW+WZ)=16.1\pm{0.9}$~pb~\cite{zztheory}. The observed signal significance is 4.4 s.d.. Fig.~\ref{Fig4}
  shows the $WW/WZ$ dijet mass peak extracted from data compared to the MC prediction.

\section{Summary}

  The recent results in diboson production at the Tevatron, using $1.0-3.6~$pb$^{-1}$ of data,
  have been presented. Measured cross sections for the $Z\gamma,ZZ,WZ$ and $WW$ processes and TGCs at
  the $\gamma{ZZ},\gamma{WW}$ and $ZWW$ vertices are in agreement with the SM predictions. The D{\O}
  experiment sets the world's tightest limits on the $h_{40}^{\gamma},h_{40}^{Z}$ and $h_{30}^{Z}$ TGCs
  and reports the first evidence of $WW/WZ$ production in semi-leptonic final states at a hadron collider.

Q: Get MySQL result where every Nth row is needed item I have one problem with mysql query, if it's possible.
Example: we have table with products, each product has field type, it could be "free" or "gold". When we search all products by keyword, we get results like
id | product_name | ... | type
---+--------------+-----+-----
1  | ...          | ... | free
2  | ...          | ... | gold
3  | ...          | ... | free
4  | ...          | ... | free
5  | ...          | ... | free
6  | ...          | ... | gold
7  | ...          | ... | free
8  | ...          | ... | free
9  | ...          | ... | gold
10 | ...          | ... | free
11 | ...          | ... | gold
12 | ...          | ... | free

17 | ...          | ... | free
18 | ...          | ... | free
19 | ...          | ... | free

The problem is: how to order this result to get each 4th row type "gold"
id | product_name | ... | type
---+--------------+-----+-----
1  | ...          | ... | free
3  | ...          | ... | free
4  | ...          | ... | free
2  | ...          | ... | gold
5  | ...          | ... | free
7  | ...          | ... | free
8  | ...          | ... | free
6  | ...          | ... | gold
10 | ...          | ... | free

19 | ...          | ... | free
14 | ...          | ... | gold
16 | ...          | ... | gold

I have no idea how to resolve it. Is it possible?
I know how to resolve it with PHP, but I need to know if I can do it with MySQL query!

A: You can use the following query:
SELECT id, product_name, type, r
FROM (
SELECT id, product_name, type,
       IF((@r1+1) % 4 = 0, @r1:= @r1 + 2, @r1:= @r1 + 1) AS r
FROM mytable, (SELECT @r1:=0) AS var
WHERE type <> 'gold'
ORDER BY id ) t

UNION ALL

SELECT id, product_name, type,  r*4 AS r
FROM (
SELECT id, product_name, type,
       @r2:= @r2+1 AS r
FROM mytable, (SELECT @r2:=0) AS var
WHERE type = 'gold' ) s
ORDER BY r

Explanation:

*

*The first part of the UNION retrieves all non-'gold' records and assigns r values equal to 1,2,3,5,6,7,9,.. to them.

*The second part retrieves all 'gold' records and assigns r values equal to 4,8,12,... to them.

*ORDER BY r is applied to the whole set return by UNION ALL and enforces the required ordering.

Demo here

A: If you want "gold" on every fourth line, then enumerate the "gold" and enumerate everything else.  You can then combine the results and use arithmetic to get a "gold" on every fourth row:
select t.*
from ((select t.*, (@rng := @rng + 1) as rn
       from table t cross join
            (select @rng := 0) params
       where type = 'gold'
      ) union all
      (select t.*, (@rn := @rn + 1)
       from table t cross join
            (select @rn := 0) params
       where type <> 'gold'
      )
     ) t
order by (case when type = 'gold' then rn
               else 1 + floor((rn - 1) / 3)
          end),             -- get groups of 3 non-gold and 1 gold
         (type = 'gold') ,  -- put the gold last in the group
         id                 -- order the rest by id

Invasion biology examines species originated elsewhere and moved with the help of humans, and those species' impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. In a globalized world, the emergence and spread of many human infectious pathogens are quintessential biological invasion events. Some macroscopic invasive species themselves contribute to the emergence and transmission of human infectious agents. We review conceptual parallels and differences between human epidemics and biological invasions by animals and plants. Fundamental concepts in invasion biology regarding the interplay of propagule pressure, species traits, biotic interactions, eco-evolutionary experience, and ecosystem disturbances can help to explain transitions between stages of epidemic spread. As a result, many forecasting and management tools used to address epidemics could be applied to biological invasions and vice versa. Therefore, we advocate for increasing cross-fertilization between the two disciplines to improve prediction, prevention, treatment, and mitigation of invasive species and infectious disease outbreaks, including pandemics.

Oklahoma Releases Hundreds of Prisoners in State's Largest commutation
Prison reform has been a hot-button issue for many politicians as well as celebrities such as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. This week, politicians in Oklahoma made great strides in prison reform. For years, the state of Oklahoma has held the dubious honor of having the highest prisoner incarceration rate in the country. But on Monday, 462 inmates across Oklahoma were slated for released from prison in what the governor's office calls the largest single-day mass commutation in the nation's history.
Reducing the prison population was a key campaign issue for Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt (R), a former mortgage company CEO who was elected in 2018.
In a series of tweets, Stitt wrote the following:
From day one, my administration's goal of #HB1269 has been more than just the release of low level, non-violent offenders. It has been about changing the culture & process as we prepare to release individuals & to help set them up for success upon reentry into society.
The @OklaDOC, #OklaPPB, & District Attorneys conducted a very thorough review process to ensure those eligible for the #HB1269 docket are truly reflecting the intent of the law – to help non-violent, low-level offenders and to bring their sentencing time in line with today's laws
The dramatic move came about as the result of House Bill 1269, a bill co-authored by Republican Representative Jon Echols and Democrat Representative Jason Dunnington, both of Oklahoma.
"We have so much opportunity in Oklahoma to do really big things, and there is no reason why we should let politics get in the way of that," said Rep. Dunnington.
The governor's office released another staggering figure: if all inmates had completed their sentences, it would have cost Oklahoma approximately $11.9 million.
Furthermore, local Oklahoma City media outlet Fox 25 points out that "in order to prepare for the release, the Department of Corrections held several transition fairs to connect inmates with organizations that would assist with housing, transportation, employment and health care."
Of the 527 inmates recommended for commutation, 75 percent were male and 25 percent were female. The majority of the prisoners had been incarcerated for at least three years.

WINTERSTEIGER CEO Florestan von Boxberg (right) and CFO Harold Kostka (left) seal the contract with TRIALS founder Colin Coleman.
WINTERSTEIGER acquires the majority stake of TRIALS Equipment UK LTD (www.trialseq.co.uk). The company in Wethersfield, Essex, UK, develops, manufactures and sells machines and equipment for field trials, which are primarily sold on the English market.
TRIALS has also been WINTERSTEIGER's sales partner in Great Britain for many years and has also been working as a supplier of special solutions (e.g. Tool Carrier and straw weigher) since 2018. This acquisition will strengthen the WINTERSTEIGER market position in Great Britain and integrate a very flexible development partner with experience in small series for seed breeding into the WINTERSTEIGER network.
Since it was founded more than 40 years ago, TRIALS has become the UK market leader in machinery, equipment and services for field trials. Company founder and now minority owner Colin Coleman will stay with the company for the time being and manage the business together with Christopher Schiehauer, Head of Business Field SEEDMECH. The TRIALS brand and the Wethersfield location will be retained.


LEBANON, Ohio – May 20, 2014 – Doran Racing has a long history of spending Memorial Day weekend as star players in a high-speed test of machinery, driver skills and race strategy at Lime Rock Park, and this year is no exception.
The Lebanon, Ohio-based team will send two Nissan 370Zs into battle in a Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge (CTSCC) race that headlines the holiday weekend schedule at the picturesque track in the foothills of Connecticut's Berkshire Mountains on Saturday. Brad Jaeger of Charlottesville, Va. and B.J. Zacharias of Cincinnati will drive the team's #14 Nissan NISMO 370Z RC. The team's #41 Tower Events Nissan 370Z is co-driven by two former series champions from Toronto: John Farano and David Empringham.
Unlike most of the series' other events, the Grand Sport (GS) and Street Tuner (ST) classes will run two separate races at Lime Rock due to the short length and narrowness of the 1.5-mile, seven-turn road course. Doran Racing competes in the GS division, and its race is scheduled to get the green flag at 2:15 p.m. Saturday. Its two Nissans will be part of a 26-car field in the two-hour-and-30-minute race at the iconic track, which is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Zacharias may have put it best when he suggested that Lime Rock is road racing's version of stock car racing's Bristol Motor Speedway. He also said it may be the most difficult race in the series. "It's a short, narrow track with extremely close competition and limited passing zones, so hang on, kids, it may be a bumpy ride," he said.
Zacharias knows the circuit well, as he attended his first Skip Barber Racing School there many years ago, and one of his uncles was Lime Rock's track manager in the late '80s and early '90s.
Both Zacharias and Jaeger spoke about how easy it is to go a lap down at Lime Rock.
"Unfortunately it's not hard to go down a lap; one little hiccup on anything, and before you can blink twice it can happen," Zacharias said.
Although Farano and Empringham didn't compete in this particular event last year, they have fond memories of the track. In 2012 they clinched the CTSCC championship there as teammates.
Nissan had great results at the most-recent race on May 3 at California's Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, with three cars in the top six.
"We're hoping for another top-seven finish; a top-five would be outstanding!" Zacharias said.
They hope for better luck than they had at Lime Rock last year.
All the drivers hope to run the entire race clean.
Another challenge will be the lack of time on the track prior to the race. The weekend schedule shows just two 25-minute practice sessions at 11:25 a.m. and 2:55 p.m. on Friday before qualifying is held at 5:10 p.m. that day. Live timing and scoring of those sessions as well as Saturday's races will be available on imsa.com.
After Lime Rock the series appears at Kansas Speedway on June 7 and Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, N.Y. on June 28-29.
