China urges leaving space for resolving Ukraine crisis through diplomatic negotiations

UNITED NATIONS - China on Friday urged all sides to leave space for diplomatic negotiations in efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis.
"China calls on all parties concerned to exercise restraint, refrain from actions that exacerbate tensions, and leave space for settlement through diplomatic negotiations," Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said in his explanation of China's vote on a Security Council draft resolution on Ukraine.
The draft resolution, put forward by Albania and the United States, failed to pass in the Security Council as it was vetoed by Russia. China, India, Brazil and Gabon abstained from the voting.
China's position on the issue of Ukraine is "consistent and clear." The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be safeguarded, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be observed, the legitimate security concerns of all parties should be taken seriously, and all actors conducive to the peaceful resolution of the crisis should be supported, Zhang said.
China believes that "the pressing priority is to make every effort to de-escalate the situation, and guide the parties to restart diplomatic negotiations as soon as possible to open the door to a political settlement with legitimate concerns brought into the negotiations and the viable options on the table, in an effort to achieve an early ceasefire," said the ambassador.
Zhang said that the current crisis in Ukraine is a result of the accumulation and interplay of various problems and tensions over a long period of time. "Facts have shown that political isolation, sanctions and pressurization fuel the tensions, and bloc confrontation will not bring peace. Instead, they will only worsen the situation, and make the issue more complicated and intractable."
"As a responsible country, China has always stood on the side of peace. We will continue to play a constructive role in easing the situation and resolving the crisis," said the ambassador.

Q: Rsyslog not sending to server when filesystem fails I have on my servers an rsyslog client, that supposed to send logs to rsyslog server.
Recently there was an issue on one of the servers where the filesystem went into read-only. This caused local logs not being written. However on the remote log there were no entries either.
I guess that was because the services on the server couldn't write logs and thus the rsyslog can not send them, right? Is it possible to have logs written in some sort of a RAM disk before they get send via rsyslog to remote and local files? That RAM-disk would of course need a quota so that the server RAM doesn't get used up when there is a log flood.
Is In-Memory Queue the way to go here?

Toy Story 4's Director Was 'Shocked' By How Funny Keanu Reeves Is
By Jessica Rawden
Thanks to the success of John Wick 3 and the early positive reviews for Keanu Reeves' new Toy Story character Duke Caboom, the actor is having a bit of a moment. Seriously, people are calling him the Internet's new boyfriend and even signing petitions right now to keep him in the limelight. But what they may not know about the actor is he's quite funny in real life.
In fact, director Josh Cooley recently told CinemaBlend Keanu's contributions were the biggest surprise for him while making the movie. He revealed he was "shocked," noting,
I think I was shocked about how funny Keanu Reeves is. On camera and off camera. Just naturally funny, so that just stuck in my head because I wasn't prepared for that.
Having seen Toy Story 4, I can confirm Duke Caboom gets some of the funniest moments and some of the most excellent (to paraphrase another Keanu Reeves movie) storylines in the film. However, it wasn't always apparent that Reeves was going to be a funnyman around the Toy Story 4 office. Although, now that footage has been running around featuring Reeves in action, you can see exactly what Josh Cooley means.
In our interview with director Josh Cooley and producer Mark Nielsen, the two talked about the most amusing moments on set. Take a look.
According to Mark Nielsen, the already famous "plush rush" is going to be the moment that has everyone in theaters caught off guard.
I always loved the Ducky and Bunny scene. Without giving anything away, Ducky and Bunny's moment alone with Margaret the store owner that happens in the film is always one that catches everybody off guard. No one's ready for that.
Eagle-eyed viewers have probably caught a bit of the moment Mark Nielsen is alluding to in the early marketing for the film. It's a comedic storyline featuring new characters Ducky and Bunny (played by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele) that's definitely a standout, and your kids will probably be emulating as y'all are leaving the theaters after the movie lets out.
Nielsen also went on to tell CinemaBlend that director Josh Cooley is also funny guy and his comedic sensibility shows through in nearly every frame of the film, which is why Toy Story 4 is exceptionally funny, even when compared with some of the other Toy Story films.
Related: What We Know So Far About Toy Story 4
This movie is going to make you laugh, hopefully far more than the other three Toy Story franchise movies. Don't believe me? Early takes have all been pretty kind to the new movie, and for a time it was running at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. (At the time of this writing, it had dropped to 98%.)
Maybe you're not a Toy Story franchise guy or gal in general, but if you are, this one definitely has a lot of pros, least of which is the talented returning cast and new characters. Whoops, we forgot to mention funny. Toy Story 4 definitely has a lot of pros, least of which is the talented and funny cast. Catch the animated Disney and Pixar flick starting on June 21, and be sure to look into all of the new Toy Story characters with our full guide.

The Class of Medicine 1978 is raising funds in support of the Meds '78 Bursary as part of their 40th reunion in 2018. This Fund was established on the occasion of their 25th reunion to provide financial support to medical students with demonstrated financial need.
As of April 30, 2018, the Meds '78 Bursary had a capital value of $199,158 and was ranked 4th out of 42 endowed class funds in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Queen's.
Since its inception, over $81,000 has been given to 24 Queen's medical students who demonstrate financial need to support them in their studies.


Are you looking to save more money in 2018? Trying to figure out ways to turn over a new leaf and cut your monthly expenses? Just a few small changes to your current habits can have you meeting your savings goals. Here are 10 practical ways to save money every month.
Planning your meals before your head to the store is a great way to save on your groceries. Before you do your weekly (or monthly) grocery shopping, figure out what you're going to have for each meal and look through the ingredients that you already have. Then make a list of those that you need. When you get to the store, stick to your list, knowing that those are the only items that you need.
If you take a look at your thermostat, where do you have it set? Is it possible that you can bump it a few degrees in either direction and dress more warmly (or coolly) for the weather? Using a blanket if you're chilly or using a lighter blanket at night (during warmer months) will help you to save a bit on heating and cooling costs.
Using coupons is a great way to save (and is so much more than simply clipping them from your local ad! Plenty of websites offer a wide variety of coupons for everything from groceries to trips. If you look for it, you'll likely find what you need to save before you make most any purchase. Getting yourself in the habit of looking for savings before you head to the store will save you a bundle.
Many stores, such as Target, have money saving apps. Checking for and downloading apps for your most frequented stores will help you to find greater deals that aren't always advertised to the public.
Amazon has come such a long way since its book selling days! Yes, you still have access to tons of books (both print and e-books) through their site, but they also have services for saving a ton on tv, groceries, personal care items and home services, too. Subscribing to Amazon Prime will help to maximize your savings through their site.
Do you know that you're going to have to replace a major appliance in your home? Are you needing to have updating done? Then take time to research where you'll get the best deal, what is going to be the best combination of quality and price, etc. Before making that large purchase, make sure that you're going with a decision that you'll be happy with.
We've all been there…you need to make something to take to a party and you didn't plan ahead, so you run to the closest store and get what you need, regardless of cost. Habits like these, when carried over to that lawn mower that you knew needed to be replaced, the snow blower that died last winter (and now it's snowing again) make for purchasing done out of desperation…leaving no time to find the deals that will help you save.
Give yourself and your family the challenge of spending no more than you absolutely must for a full month. That means no spending beyond utilities, loans, gas and groceries. You'll be amazed at how much you save by not going out for meals, stopping for coffee, etc!
There are two types of spending habits: the spender who buys something they see (as soon as they see it) because they want to have it and the spender who sees something they like, waits, looks for deals and buys it later. The second habit can save you SO much, as more deliberate habits give time to carefully consider (and sometimes talk yourself out of) a purchase and helps to ensure that you're really getting the best deal.
Do you know other practical ways that you can save every month? Please share your thoughts!


Arthritis can be such a debilitating and crippling condition. You don't have to continue living with it particularly when there is something you can do about it and fast. Living with arthritis can be both tasking on you and your loved ones. The amount of pain and its intensity can make your life a living hell. When you have arthritis, your whole body feels like it's one creaky, old tool. The pains in the joints, particularly when it is becomes intense can be very agonizing.
There are millions of people suffering from arthritis and sadly, many of them do not get the required remedy. You don't have to continue enduring the bouts of increasingly worsening pain anymore. You can get quick relief using our brainwave technology. Our brainwave technology is effective because it targets the arthritis from the root source. All pain is transmitted from the brain via the central nervous system. Taking charge of the brain using powerful brainwave technology basically deals with the problem from its source.
No longer do you have to lie so still you can't move around anymore. You don't have to lay incapacitated and just waiting for the sessions of pain to go. No longer do you have to stay awake at night because the pain is so intense, you can't even get some shuteye. You don't have to worry about breaking your bone and "wearing" your joints out by simply moving around. You don't have to live with the bacterial and viral infections that often accompany arthritis.
Arthritis drastically limits people's quality of life. They cannot exercise, go jogging, throw a Frisbee, chase their kids in the picnic ground, climb stairs, take long walks among so many other life enhancing activities. In fact, it sometimes gets so bad that people suffering from it have to be moved around in wheelchairs. It has been proven that when the root cause of arthritis is eliminated, the symptoms also go away within a few days. Using our brainwave technology, you can attack the ailment from its roots. You can make your life healthier and more fulfilling.
-Suffer from limited motion range (can only move their legs turn their heads or raise their arms so far).
Our recordings use research frequencies that show arthritis patients experienced relief from pain. They are designed to relieve arthritis pain, improve your quality of life, help you live easier. Imagine what your life would be without arthritis and the things you could do. You can finally keep fit, play with your kids and grandkids, throw a Frisbee, teach your grandson how to play football and so on.

The First Thing Tony Stark Did Upon Returning to the U.S.
Robert Downey Jr.'s performance in Iron Man in 2008 launched an entire movie franchise and reshaped our movie-going experience. But how well do you know the events that happened in Iron Man?
After returning to America, what was the first thing Tony Stark did? Did he call a press conference or did he do something else?
[interaction id="5a6a0bde69f07500019d4f7a"]
The genuis, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist was captured after giving the United States military a demonstration of his Jericho Missile. After a successful test, his convoy was ambushed by terrorists who captured and held him prisoner. They demanded he make weapons for them. However, Tony refused. But he did make one weapon. He deceived the terrorists into providing him the necessary materials to make his first Iron Man suit. Tony then used the suit to destroy the terrorist's entire encampment and then he fled into the desert. Fortunately, he was rescued by the U.S. Military who transported him back to the United States.
Tony Returns to the United States
Once he arrived in the United States, Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan pick him up at the airport. Hogan asks him, "Where to sir?" Pepper immediately tells him to take Tony to the hospital. However, Tony tells her that is not where he wants to go. Instead he tells her there are two things he wants to do. The first is an American cheeseburger and the second one is a press conference. Tony then tells Hogan, "Drive. Cheeseburger first."
In the next scene he arrives at Stark Industries where he's greeted by Obadiah Stane played by Jeff Bridges. And if you aren't watching carefully you might miss that he's just finished eating an American cheeseburger. In fact, Happy Hogan comes around the car with a bag where Tony disposes of his cheeseburger wrapper. Obadiah Stane even kids with him, "A burger, you had to have a burger. Did you get me one of those?"
The answer: False. He ate an American cheeseburger!
And what's even more interesting is that the burger didn't come from McDonald's, Wendy's, or Five Guys. It came from Burger King. And there's a big reason for that. Robert Downey Jr. confessed that Burger King saved his life. Downey told the New York Daily News, "I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen." Downey Jr. then revealed he had an epiphany and tossed all of his drugs into the ocean right then and there. Tony Stark eating an American cheeseburger from Burger was a reference to Robert Downey Jr.'s own personal experiences.
Share with your friends and family and see if they know what the first thing Tony Stark did upon returning to U.S. soil!

"My reaction when I first saw it; was that the design is really awesome. The knife has amazing aesthetic appeal. It's the first time I've ever seen a design like this for a bread knife…It slices delicate baked goods such as brioche without flattening them. It cuts sandwich loaves and crusty bread such as baguettes with aplomb. I also tested the knife on a loaf of raisin cinnamon bread from a local bakery…As you can see from the picture, the knife cut the bread like a machine."

Rhododendron decorum est une espèce d'arbuste de la famille des Ericaceae, originaire des hautes forêts de montagnes du Sud de la Chine et du Myanmar. Cette espèce très décorative et qui en mai-juin embaume les environs par son puissant parfum, est utilisée en horticulture. Bien que toxique, la fleur est consommée traditionnellement au nord du Yunnan (en Chine) pour ses .

Étymologie et histoire de la nomenclature

Le nom de genre Rhododendron (créé par Linné en 1753) vient du grec ancien ῥoδόδενδρον rhododendron morph. , composé de ῥόδον, rhodon « rose » et δένδρον, dendron « arbre ». Remarquons que le terme existait depuis 1518 en latin des botanistes, emprunté au latin rhododendron « laurier-rose » (Pline, H.N., 16, 79 etc.), lui-même repris au grec ῥoδόδενδρον  rhododendron de même sens.

L'épithète spécifique decorum vient du latin decorus, a, um  (Gaffiot).

Cette espèce a été découverte indépendamment par deux missionnaires botanistes, grands collecteurs de nouvelles espèces de plante en Chine : les pères Armand David et Jean-Marie Delavay. Le père David, lors de son séjour à Moupin (actuellement Dengchigou dans le xian de Baoxing dans les montagnes à l'est de Chengdu) au Tibet oriental, de mars à , récoltera une abondante moisson d'espèces nouvelles de plantes (400 espèces dont 13 de Rhododendrons), de mammifères (comme le Panda géant), d'oiseaux et d'insectes. Un peu plus d'une décennie plus tard, le père Delavay, établi à  plus au sud, dans les montagnes à Dapingzi près de Dali, au Nord-Est du Yunnan, en se concentrant exclusivement sur les plantes, put envoyer au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle plus de  (entre 1883 et 1886).

Ces deux régions font partie du point chaud de biodiversité des Monts Hengduan dans la région de Centre-Sud de la Chine dans lequel se trouvent plus du quart des espèces mondiales de Rhododendron, de Primula, de Corydalis, de Delphinium, Gentiana etc.

L'herbier numérique du Muséum comporte 13 planches d'herbier de R. decorum classées comme syntype, récoltées en des lieux différents, à des dates différentes, par les pères David et Delavay.

À Paris, Adrien Franchet le botaniste qui recevait les caisses d'herbiers venant de Chine, produisait les diagnoses (descriptions) permettant d'identifier et classer les espèces. La présente espèce sera caractérisée sous le nom de Rhododendron decorum, en 1886 dans Bulletin de la Société Botanique de France 33: 230. Sur les 36 espèces de Rhododendrons découvertes par les deux missionnaires botanistes (en 1886), R. decorum est la seule à se trouver à la fois dans le Tibet oriental et le Yunnan.

Le nom vernaculaire chinois de l'espèce est 大白 杜鹃 dàbái dùjuān ().

Description

Le Rhododendron decorum est un arbuste de 1 à  de haut, avec de jeunes rameaux verdâtres, glabres.

La feuille simple, portée par un pétiole de , comporte un limbe épais, coriace, oblong, oblong-ovale ou oblong-elliptique, de  de long sur  de large, les deux surfaces sont glabres à maturité; la surface supérieure vert foncé et le revers plus pâle.

L'inflorescence porte sur un rachis de  de 8 à 10 fleurs. La fleur portée par un pédicelle robuste, de  à poils glanduleux, comporte une corolle en entonnoir campanulé, très parfumée, blanche à rose pâle, de  de long sur , à la face interne pubérulente à la base, avec 6-8 lobes suborbiculaires, émarginé ou entier, 13 à 16 étamines inégales de  avec des filaments pubescents à la base, un ovaire cylindrique à poils glanduleux.

Le fruit est une capsule oblongue, généralement légèrement courbée, de 25–40 × .

La floraison a lieu en avril-juin, la fructification de septembre à octobre.

Sous-espèces

Selon Flora of China, il existe 4 sous-espèces :

 R. decorum ssp. cordatum : base du limbe cordée
 R. decorum ssp. parvistigmatis : base du limbe non cordée, stigmate petit env.
 R. decorum ssp. decorum : base du limbe non cordée, stigmate gonflé, corolle de
 R. decorum ssp. diaprepes : base du limbe non cordée, stigmate gonflé, corolle de

Distribution et habitats
R. decorum croît en Chine méridionale (provinces : O Guizhou, SO Sichuan, SE Xizang, et  Yunnan) et Myanmar.

Il pousse dans les fourrés et les forêts de montagne, entre  et  d'altitude.

Utilisations

Horticulture

Le Rhododendron decorum fut introduit en France en 1887 grâce aux graines envoyées par le père Delavay à partir du Yunnan. Il fut réintroduit ensuite une vingtaine de fois de différentes régions par plusieurs autres chasseurs de plantes. C'est un rhododendron qui varie considérablement dans plusieurs de ses caractéristiques suivant les régions et les altitudes où il prospère.

C'est une espèce très décorative bien que peu employée. Ses fleurs en mai-juin embaument les environs par son puissant parfum. Plante très vigoureuse grâce à un système racinaire plus puissant que chez les autres de ses congénères, il produit tous les ans une floraison abondante. Les formes avec les plus petites fleurs qui sont originaires du Yunnan ou du Sichuan sont beaucoup plus résistantes que celles avec d'énormes fleurs (entre 10 et 12 cm) découvertes par Farrer dans le Haut-Burma.

Le Rhododendron decorum n'a pas été autant utilisé dans les hybridations que son proche parent le Rhododendron fortunei.

Cette espèce de rhododendron a un développement qui peut servir dans la création de massif ou de haie persistante avec pour mission de protéger des regards un tas de compost ou quelque chose que l'on désire cacher.

En Chine, il fournit un excellent bonzaï.

Pharmacologie chinoise

La fleur est utilisée en médecine traditionnelle chinoise . Suivant les catégories de celle-ci, elle est classée comme piquante (辛 xin), acide (酸 suan) et chaude (温 wen). Elle est réputée soulager les démangeaisons, consolider l'essence et tuer les vers.

Mise en garde : Rhododendron spp. peut provoquer des intoxications chez l'homme à la suite de la prise de miel de rhododendron ou de préparations médicinales. La toxicité est due aux grayanotoxines, des diterpènes qui activent les canaux sodiques voltage-dépendants et entraînent des symptômes gastro-intestinaux, cardiaques et du système nerveux central. Les données de pharmacologie moderne indiquent que des extraits de rhododendron peuvent avoir des activités anti-inflammatoires et analgésiques.

Une enquête ethnopharmacologique auprès des populations du NE et NO du Yunnan a montré que les corolles de R. decorum sont considérées traditionnellement comme un mets saisonnier apprécié. Les raisons invoquées pour les consommer sont les bienfaits pour la santé, la tradition et la bonne saveur. Toutefois,  des consommateurs savaient que la corolle est toxique (Li et al, 2020).

                 )
        )
)

How can I go about getting the value from othername?
I tried:
 $array = array();
 $array[fields] = array();
 echo $array[19]['othername'] ;

But I think I need to go down another level?

A: $array = array();         //-|
                          // | This resets the variable to blank array. Remove it.
$array[fields] = array(); //-|

// assuming that variable dumped is $array, directly use this.
echo $array['fields'][19]['othername'];

But, I would suggest that, you should not fetch the required value using such fix syntax. My answer is just to solve your issue at hand. Implementing coding best practices is out of scope for this answer. You should try to loop recursively and fetch required value.

A: $data = array(
    'id' => '01',
    'name' => 'johndoe',
    'fields' => array(
        array(
            'othername' => "fieldname"
        )
    ),
);
//Inside array is array of array so foreach() is used
foreach ($data['fields'] as $row)
{
  echo $row['othername'];
}

A: Just use as simple
$array['fields'][19]['othername']

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain cancer in adults where tumor cell heterogeneity and sex differences influence clinical outcomes. Here, we functionally characterize three male and three female patient-derived GBM cell lines, identify protumorigenic BTICs, and create novel male and female preclinical models of GBM. Cell lines were evaluated on the following features: proliferation, stemness, migration, tumorigenesis, clinical characteristics, and sensitivity to radiation, TMZ, rhTNFSF10 (rhTRAIL), and rhBMP4. All cell lines were classified as GBM according to epigenetic subtyping, were heterogenous and functionally distinct from one another, and re-capitulated features of the original patient tumor. In establishing male and female preclinical models, it was found that two male-derived GBM cell lines (QNS108 and QNS120) and one female-derived GBM cell line (QNS315) grew at a faster rate in female mice brains. One male-derived GBM cell line (QNS108) decreased survival in female mice in comparison with male mice. However, no survival differences were observed for mice injected with a female-derived cell line (QNS315). In summary, a panel of six GBM patient-derived cell lines were functionally characterized, and it was shown that BTIC lines can be used to construct sex-specific models with differential phenotypes for additional studies.

If you took a bus or train to Newton Heath in the 1960s, your approaching stop would be signalled by a familiar landmark, visible from a good mile away: the huge concrete coaling tower at the railway sheds. Opened in 1876, this was by far the largest depot on the old Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, stretching between Thorp Road and Dean Lane and lying between the lines to Rochdale and Oldham. Newton Heath locomotive depot in 1967, from the Thorp Road end, with the coal tower dominating the scene. St.Mary's Road school can just be seen in the right background
The carriage works on North Road had opened the previous year, and in the 1890s extensive carriage sheds and sidings were added on the opposite side of the Rochdale line, completing a huge complex. Many of the houses off Lightbowne Road were built originally for railway workers.
The shed had 24 lines ('roads') inside, four of which formed a repair shop, nicknamed 'the parlour' by shed staff. At its peak, it accommodated over 200 engines. The coaling tower was added by the London Midland and Scottish Railway in 1935, the shed roof also being replaced. The north end of the yard was extended across Dean Lane, which originally ran beside the Railway Hotel and beneath Newton Heath station, and a new, larger, turntable added. The south-facing end of the buildings in July 1966; the half-width steam shed (left), with the diesel shed and refurbished repair shop on the right. The south-end turntable is in the foreground
Entrance to the station was diverted via paths running from St.Mary's Road near the 'hooped' bridge and, to preserve the right of way towards Kenyon Lane, access was granted along the platform, over the footbridge and down steps near the signal-box, on to the continuation of Dean Lane (since filled in). A view towards Manchester from the footbridge at the original (1853) Newton Heath station on 30 March 1967. The steam shed is on the left, with the coaling tower in the distance, the carriage works beyond and the sidings to the right of the signal box. Today, only the tracks in the foreground remain – all else has gone. [Photo: S.P.Wilson]
By 1961, half the shed had been rebuilt to accommodate diesel units and the 'parlour' re-tracked, but there were still 140 steam and diesel locos based here for the many services, principally to the north, west and east of the country, as well as local trips. Besides the 'home' fleet, many engines from other areas often called in for servicing.
Like many others, I was a frequent visitor in the shed's latter years, and it became a place to meet friends and observe the constant movement of locomotives in and around the yards, and trains passing on the adjacent lines. Even on winter nights, coal braziers, lit to keep the water columns from freezing, provided welcome warmth for huddled 'spotters' comparing notes.
The railway staff were generally very friendly and, if you showed a genuine interest, were only too happy to explain the workings of the equipment and engines (and, with luck, might let you drive one up to the turntable!). Close to the north-end turntable was another landmark: St.Mary's Road School. Opened in 1869 as Newton Heath Wesleyan School, it became a Board school in 1903 and closed in 1968. A 'Black 5' loco backs off the north-end turntable in August 1967, with the school on the far side of St.Mary's Road. How many lessons were disregarded, through gazing out of the windows? [Photo: S.P.Wilson]
The station was closed in December 1966 but not demolished until March 1968; the shed closed to steam on 30 June 1968, regular steam working in Britain ceasing altogether in August. For a while, a handful of withdrawn steamers languished, their fires dropped forever, awaiting a tow to a scrapyard: the last four went in October. However, on 8 September, the old shed dispatched one last steam visitor: no.73050 from Patricroft, which had been bought for £3,000 for preservation, and had come to Newton Heath for a final 'fettling' before making its way to the Nene Valley Railway at Peterborough. It is still running. 8 September 1968 and the shed hosts its last steam visitor, hissing at the diesels lurking within
The steam buildings were demolished in March-April 1969 and the coaling tower in July; having defiantly withstood an attempt with gelignite, it leaned at a crazy angle for several weeks before finally succumbing. In 1971 the diesel shed was extended and a washing facility erected on the coal tower site, leaving the refurbished 'parlour' as the only part surviving from steam days.
Today the depot still services diesel units (rather fewer since Metrolink took over some local services), but is much reduced from its former busy, if sooty, glory.

Thomas Jefferson High School Wins the 2018 Virginia Science Bowl
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Alexandria, won top honors at the 2018 Virginia Regional High School Science Bowl held at Jefferson Lab on Feb. 3. Pictured left to right are team members Wenbo Wu, Aditya Sarkar, Franklyn Wang, Kaien Yang, and Vaibhav Sharma and Coach Sharon Webb.
Charlottesville, Langley, and Maggie Walker High Schools Place at Annual Competition
NEWPORT NEWS, VA – More than a dozen teams converged on Jefferson Lab bright and early on Feb. 3 for the Virginia Regional High School Science Bowl. At the end of an intense day of academic competition, the team from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Alexandria, took home top honors.
To kick off the event, Lab Director Stuart Henderson welcomed the students, attending family members and team coaches. He briefly explained to them how Jefferson Lab's electron accelerator works and about the type of research carried out at the lab and why it is important for helping humankind to understand the universe.
He spoke about the Department of Energy's National Laboratory system and the variety of research and career opportunities at Jefferson Lab and other national labs. "It is a great place to build a career," he commented. "Researchers at these labs study the largest and the smallest things in our universe, what makes up our universe and how the universe works at the most basic levels."
He applauded the students' interest and enthusiasm in preparing for the science bowl, and urged them to extend their enthusiasm and interest beyond this academic competition. He encouraged them to look into and consider applying for DOE Science Undergraduate Laboratory internships (SULI) and recounted that such an internship had been pivotal to his career.
In the double-elimination style tournament, the last match of the day pitted Charlottesville High School, Charlottesville, (with one loss) against Thomas Jefferson High School (no losses). Question topics ranged from energy, biology, and Earth and space sciences to math, physics and chemistry. Charlottesville fell to Thomas Jefferson with a final score of 36 to 124.
The Thomas Jefferson team, coached by Sharon Webb, took home a $750 check for its school, a team trophy, individual medals and the regional banner that the team will carry when it competes in the National Science Bowl® (NSB) finals in Washington, D.C., April 26-30.
For finishing in second place, the Charlottesville team, coached by Matt Shields, took home a $500 check for its school and a team trophy.
Ending the day, respectively, in third and fourth were the teams from Langley High School, McLean, and Maggie L. Walker Governor's School for Government and International Studies, Richmond. The Langley team, coached by Leah Puhlick, took home a $300 check for its school and a team trophy; and the Maggie Walker team, coached by Tom Boyle, took home a team trophy. This was the first time that Maggie Walker High School had competed in a Science Bowl tournament.

Pictured left to right is Coach Tom Boyle and team members Perisa Ashar, Anuj Kotak, Dennis Plotnikov, and Ajay Srinivasan.
At the awards presentation, Christine Wheeler, Jefferson Lab's Science Bowl coordinator, congratulated the students and their coaches. She acknowledged their hard work and tenacity in preparing for the competition. She also thanked Jefferson Lab management for its support in hosting the event and the more than three dozen volunteers – lab staff, their family members, and friends of the Science Bowl program – who helped conduct the matches and run the event.
The Department of Energy created the National Science Bowl® in 1991 to encourage students to excel in mathematics and science and to pursue careers in these fields. The National Science Bowl® is one of the nation's largest science competitions. DOE's Office of Science manages the program and sponsors the NSB finals.
Jefferson Lab will host the Virginia Regional Middle School Science Bowl on March 3.
