The Chicks Reveal Tracklisting for Upcoming New Album, 'Gaslighter'
Frank Micelotta, Getty Images
The Chicks have revealed the full tracklisting for their upcoming new album, Gaslighter, which is set for release in less than two weeks.
The tracklisting is available via Apple Music, revealing 12 new titles that the Chicks mostly co-wrote, working with a slate of additional songwriters that includes their co-producer, Jack Antonoff, as well as Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter and more.
Fans have already heard three of the new tracks, "Gaslighter," "Julianna Calm Down" and most recently "March March," a song laced with sociopolitical protest. Formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, the trio released that track on June 25, the same day they announced that they were dropping the "Dixie" from their name in response to the racial protests going on after the deaths of George Floyd and other unarmed Black men and women at the hands of police in recent days and months.
Other tracks include "Sleep at Night," "For Her," "My Best Friend's Weddings," "Tights on My Boat" and more, culminating in a track titled "Set Me Free." While it's not entirely clear yet how it comes together, the new album appears to be somewhat of a concept album premised around the dissolution of Chicks singer Natalie Maines' marriage to actor Adrian Pasdar, shot through with themes of female empowerment.
The album's title track, "Gaslighter," appears to imply that Pasdar cheated on Maines on her boat with the lines, "You thought I wouldn't see it if you put it in my face / Give you all my money, you'll gladly walk away / You think it's justifiable, I think it's pretty cruel / And you know you lie best when you lie to you / 'Cause, boy, you know exactly what you did on my boat / And, boy, / that's exactly why you ain't comin' home / Save your tired stories for your new someone else / 'Cause they're lie-lie-lie-lie-lies." One Chicks fan turned to Twitter to speculate that "Tights on My Boat" might provide more details.
The Chicks also revealed via Twitter that they plan to start sharing lyrics from individual songs soon, advising fans to "stay tuned."
Gaslighter is set for release on July 17, marking the trio's first album since Taking the Long Way in 2006. The trio of Maines, Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire initially announced the release of Gaslighter for May 1 but pushed the album release back in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The Chicks planned to tour arenas in 2020, but it's unclear where those plans stand in light of the pandemic.
The Chicks' Gaslighter Tracklisting:
1. "Gaslighter" (Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer, Martie Maguire, Jack Antonoff)
2. "Sleep at Night" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Teddy Geiger, Justin Tranter)
3. "Texas Man" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Antonoff, Julia Michaels, Tranter)
4. "Everybody Loves You" (Charlotte Lawrence, Gene Penner, Michael Spargur)
5. "For Her" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Ariel Rechtshaid, Sarah Aarons)
6. "March March" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Antonoff, Dan Wilson, Ian Kirkpatrick, Ross Golan)
7. "My Best Friend's Weddings" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Antonoff, Tranter)
8. "Tights On My Boat" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Antonoff, Michaels)
9. "Julianna Calm Down" (Maines, Antonoff, Michaels)
10. "Young Man" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Antonoff, Annie Clark, Tranter)
11. "Hope It's Something Good" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Antonoff)
12. "Set Me Free" (Maines, Strayer, Maguire, Antonoff, Ben Abraham)

MANILA (Mabuhay) : As the season for filing for candidacy for the thousands of political vacancies in The Philippines opens prior to each presidential and mid-term election, clerical politics take on a new meaning.
While the round of priests lobbying for pastoral plans in various dioceses continues as usual, there are always a few who want to take their political life into the secular realm as well. This year is no exception.
Although taking up a political office is banned except with the express permission of a local bishop, at least three priests are saying that they will defy a warning from the Filipino bishops and run for public office in the national elections next year.
UCAN reported that all face being banned from acting as a priest or administering the sacraments if they stand in the elections, but they say they believe that they can serve their people better by going into politics.
Father Jeemar Lucero Vera Cruz, the vicar general in Iligan, is seeking to become vice mayor of the city in northern Mindanao. "I will be leaving my role as a priest, temporarily, in response to God's calling to help the constituents of Iligan City," he said on October 27.
Father Vera Cruz added that there is a need to transform the city after the arrest of the mayor, who is facing charges of conspiring in the attempted murder of a member of congress.
Father Vera Cruz has come under fire from critics who accuse him of using the pulpit for his political ambition, a charge the priest denies.
"I do not use the Church or the pulpit for my political aspirations," he retorted.
"This is about justice and standing up for and hearing the cry of the poor," he said in an interview.
Father Vera Cruz said he is running for office to help families still suffering after falling victim to the devastation brought about by Typhoon Washi, which struck the southern Philippines in 2011.
He pointed out that almost four years after the tragedy, the housing needs of hundreds of families are still unmet, despite millions of pesos of funding pouring into the city.
"The poor have lost so much. We must help them rebuild their lives," Father Vera Cruz said. "This requires a measure of justice, charity and fairness," he added.
In Catarman in the central Philippines, Father Walter Cerbito has announced his candidacy for governor of Northern Samar province.
"Now is the time for Northern Samar to rise, for someone to stand up for real change," Father Cerbito said.
A retired priest, Father Jack Sasu, from the same diocese, also filed his candidacy to become a councillor in the provincial capital of Catarman.
All risk being asked to hand in their stoles after the nation's bishops warned members of the clergy not to run for elective posts.
"Priests should serve the Church. There is a way of serving the people as a priest," Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, the retired archbishop of Manila, pointed out.
Bishop Honesto Ongtioco, from Cubao, said the rule prohibiting priests becoming politicians is clear.
"There is a clear rule that they are not to enter politics, because the Church is non-partisan in its mission," the bishop said.
The last high profile priest to run successfully for a major post in government was Father Eddie Panlilio in Pampanga.
He was elected as governor of the province in 2007, but in 2010 the Commission on Elections ruled in a recount that he had lost out to Lilia Pineda, better known as the Jueteng Queen.
Father Panlilio ran on a no corruption ticket, but made many enemies in his attempts to stamp out various rackets that were running in the province, especially in the quarry industry.
He became famous when he sent a receipt back to then-president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, for a paper bag containing 500,000 pesos ($90,910) in cash he had received at a function in Malacañang, asking her what category he should declare the money under.
He was suspended from his priesthood and although he did apply to be readmitted after he lost the governorship, he eventually drifted off into a government job.
The Inquirer named him Filipino of the year in 2007.

Policy Guided by Compassion, Faith Can Repair U.S. Immigration Policy, Refugee Rights Activist Says
September 29, 2020 by Laetitia Haddad Leave a Comment
Despite a resurgence of xenophobic policies and attitudes in American politics, many refugees have found strength in faith, author and refugee rights activist Jessica Goudeau said in a virtual book talk on how to improve U.S. immigration policy.
The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs invited Goudeau to discuss her new book, "After the Last Border," in the context of ongoing debates about immigration laws and the United States' increasingly fearful attitudes toward asylum seekers.
The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs at Georgetown University | Author and refugee rights activist Jessica Goudeau discussed her latest book and possible methods to reform U.S. refugee policy during a virtual book talk Sept. 22.
Goudeau said American policymakers can learn from the cooperative spirit of refugees and activists to create justice-oriented immigration policies. Her book follows the stories of Mu Naw, from Myanmar, and Hasna, a Syrian migrant, two female refugees who settled in Austin, Texas. Their stories, placed side by side, reveal both the challenges to make a home in the United States as a refugee, as well as the triumphs.
Goudeau told the refugees' stories from their perspectives to humanize their experiences, according to Goudeau.
"It was like I was painting a portrait of what they were describing to me of themselves," Goudeau said, "and as they looked at it, I saw both of them say, 'I am stronger than I knew.'"
While writing the book, Goudeau discovered religion played an influential role in both Mu Naw and Hasna's stories. Although Mu Naw is Christian, and Hasna is Muslim, Goudeau intertwined their stories because she wanted to emphasize the shared struggles of all migrants and the shared role of religion.
"Their faith was something that came up on a number of occasions, at every turn," Goudeau said. "I wanted to make the argument in this book that you can't care more for a Christian refugee from Myanmar than you do for a Muslim refugee from Syria."
The Berkley Center partnered with the Institute for the Study of International Migration to host the discussion, which was facilitated by Berkley Center Director Shaun Casey.
She emphasized the value of finding common ground with another person of faith, something that can lay the foundation for cooperation, even in politics.
"We are very adamant about the separation of church and state," Goudeau said. "And yet there are so few places where people from a variety of faiths all come together for the greater good, partnering with government programs in order to create this."
Attitudes toward immigrants and refugees have fluctuated throughout U.S. history, and the topic was not always as partisan as it is today. The Refugee Act of 1980, which systematized the refugee admission process, drew bipartisan support, despite the political tensions of the time, Casey noted.
Even if those working in refugee resettlement facilities in the United States approach migrants with compassion, Casey and Goudeau agreed xenophobic attitudes still plague American culture more broadly, making the transition to life in the United States fraught with prejudice for migrants.
Much of the recent anti-immigrant sentiment comes from President Donald Trump, whose campaign appealed to broad anti-immigrant sentiment and racism against Latin Americans in 2016. This year, Trump levied racist attacks on Asian Americans and blamed them for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Xenophobic policies are not inevitable, yet they have a history and foothold in U.S. politics. Goudeau pinpointed a drastic shift in public opinion and policy regarding migrants in the last five years alone.
"Where we've been in the last five years, you have to go back to the 1920s to find this kind of racial language, these kinds of xenophobic and isolationist policies being normalized," Goudeau said.
Goudeau remains optimistic the United States can develop more compassion toward immigrants, arguing the COVID-19 pandemic could move Americans to view immigrants and refugees with more respect and dignity.
"Now is a moment in which we are going to have the same kind of profound public awakening. I hope that in the pandemic, I would imagine that there is some element of recognizing that we're all in this together and that we all share the same basic humanity," Goudeau said. "I would hope that those are the kinds of things that can rally us as a country to really speak out."

Belarus' MFA: Sanctions alienate EU from Belarus
MINSK, 2 October (BelTA) – By the decision adopted by the Council of the European Union, the EU has alienated its neighbor - Belarus, the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, BelTA has learned.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that in recent years Belarus has been actively and persistently working to strengthen the relations with the EU for the sake of people and security in the common region. "The positive results have been tangible for both sides. That's a fact. So is a fact that the European Union has not been able to enact, over a quarter of a century, the Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation with Belarus, but a few weeks was enough for it to impose sanctions. Probably, it would have done it faster, if not for the holiday season which is so dear for Europeans," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
"In fact, everything is simple: the EU again does not want to offer its partner anything but sanctions. Such a 'reward' awaits everyone who sincerely works to improve bilateral relations, but does not tow the line begging for the club card?" the statement said.
"Pro-democratic totalitarianism is even more assertive than the communist one. Not only different opinions, details and nuances, but even obvious facts are rejected a priori if they are not in sync with the 'right ideology'," the Belarusian ministry said. "Unfortunately, such EU policy got trapped in an illusory picture of events in Belarus, where there is supposedly a permanent 'fight of good against evil' in which all means are used while the role of 'evil' is invariably assigned to the legitimate government."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs cautioned against entertaining the illusion that such steps will not affect citizens and other avenues of cooperation: "Officials making such decisions in the EU are well aware that this is a utopia. Any such attacks affect people, their security, welfare and economy. There is no need to be a hypocrite. It is these cynical and inconsiderate decisions that shape the image of the European bureaucracy which scares away and alarms many within the EU and its partners. In this regard, Brexit becomes even more understandable," the ministry said.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the sanctions had been imposed as a measure to punish Belarus for not meeting a set of ultimatums that no self-respecting sovereign state, first of all the EU member states, would comply with.
"Political will and common sense still cannot prevail over deeply entrenched messiah complex and mental division of countries into the 'old world' and the 'new world', into first-class people who have rights, and all the rest who, as a rule, have obligations only. It is hard to imagine, for example, that Poland would agree to hold a re-run if the Eurasian Economic Union or the Collective Security Treaty Organization decided that the presidential election winner was Rafal Trzaskowski and not Andrzej Duda," the Belarusian ministry said.
It is sad that the neighboring countries, who more than anyone should be interested in a stable, independent, sovereign and prosperous Belarus, are the ones who are showing their zeal in deteriorating relations with Belarus, the ministry said.
The ministry stressed that throughout its history, Belarus has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the fundamental norms and rules of international relations, the principles of the Helsinki Dialogue, such as sovereign equality, peaceful settlement of disputes and non-interference in each other's internal affairs.
"Hegel's famous quote says that 'History teaches us that man learns nothing from history'. By alienating Belarus, our partners from the EU are forgetting the tragic lessons of history that will not forgive them," the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Media Clip of the Week: Father McShane in Crain's New York
By Gina Vergel on	 October 18, 2013 Business and Economics, Inside Fordham, University News
Father Joseph McShane, S.J.
Crain's New York recently published an education report that included "People to Watch in Higher Education." Father Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, made the list.
The leaders profiled "play a critical role in the city's culture and economy," it said in the Oct. 14 issue.
Crain's writer Judy Messina described Fordham's growth strategy as ambitious.
"Under its president, the Rev. Joseph McShane, 64, Fordham is in the middle of a $1.6 billion, 25-year effort to expand its Bronx and Lincoln Center campuses. It is part of a larger strategic plan to raise the rankings of its graduate programs, attract a more national and international student body and turn the 172-year-old institution into the country's pre-eminent Catholic university.
"We want to be a destination for the brightest kids in the country, Catholic and not," Father McShane said.
The article pointed out the "growing allure" Fordham's location in the heart of New York City.
"Our mission is to graduate students who are going to be the leaders in American society, and New York is a laboratory that makes it possible for us to deliver on that promise," Father McShane said. "Notre Dame has the money and the name. I've got New York City."

Sunderland defender George McCartney has returned to Leeds United on loan until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old made 17 appearances while on loan at the end of last year, when Leeds went 12 matches unbeaten.
Manager Simon Grayson told the club website: "He did well over the course of his last loan spell. I know what he can bring to the table."
McCartney is now in contention for a starting place for the visit of Scunthorpe on Saturday.
But he is ineligible for Leeds' FA Cup third round replay against Arsenal at Elland Road four days later.
"The additional revenue earned from the Arsenal game has helped make this loan possible as we continue to invest both on and off the field," said Leeds chairman Ken Bates.

Patrick B. Bell
November 7, 1960 – October 15, 2008
My search for Patrick Bell began with letters sent to the U.S. District Court in March 2013. Patrick B. Bell's name appeared on a chart amongst the letters. His name was listed as one of forty unfortunate deaths suffered by people held in the Orleans Parish Jail. The letters conveyed heartbroken and grief-stricken pleas requesting the court to provide a safe, secure, and humane prison environment. Each letter illustrated the love people have for their families. The drafters prayed that others will not suffer the same nightmarish fate. Mr. Bell, however, did not have any family among the other drafters. Mr. Bell was born on November 7, 1960, and the criminal justice system took hold of him from 1989 till his death. On October 15, 2008, Mr. Bell died of HIV/AIDS.
The original objective of my research was to compile information and draft a biographical narrative on a person who died in the New Orleans jail. Mr. Bell, however, did not die in Orleans Parish Prison. He was released the day before his death.
The intended subject of this narrative aimed to tell the story of a person's life. I hoped to highlight Mr. Bell's family, education, work, community, and talents. Mr. Bell's criminal record, however, provided the only account of his life. Like many African American men in Louisiana, Mr. Bell spent much of his life constrained by an unconscionable criminal justice system. As such, the trajectory of this narrative adapted to illustrate my pursuit for a narrative about Mr. Bell's life.
The Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Docket Master provided the majority of the information on Mr. Bell. It unwittingly provided a narrative of Mr. Bell's life. On January 1, 1989, the Orleans Police Department arrested Mr. Bell for his first offense—simple burglary. Mr. Bell was twenty-nine years old. Mr. Bell plead not guilty for reason of insanity. After the lunacy hearing, however, the court sentenced Mr. Bell to four years hard labor.
Counsel H. McCurdy represented Mr. Bell. McCurdy violated ethical rules that resulted in his ineligibility to practice law. His ineligibility resulted from noncompliance with Trust Account Registration, unpaid bar dues, noncompliance with CLE requirements, and unpaid disciplinary dues. I was unable to reach Mr. McCurdy.
On May 13, 1994— a short time after his sentence likely ended— Mr. Bell was arrested for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine. The Court sentenced him to five years in prison. Counsel Harry Tervalon represented him. Mr. Tervalon has not been an active member of the Louisiana State Bar Association ("LSBA") since June 2, 2017. Mr. Tervalon never returned my calls.
On December 16, 1998, Mr. Bell was arrested for simple burglary and illegal possession of stolen things. Under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 701— the right to a speedy trial— the court ordered his release. On August 29, 1999, the Orleans Police Department arrested Mr. Bell for theft. He plead guilty, and the court sentenced him to fifty days in Orleans Parish Prison. On February 24, 2000, Mr. Bell was arrested for theft of goods. The court sentenced him to four years in prison. Counsel Iona Renfroe represented him. Renfroe departed this life on October 26, 2013.
On October 23, 2004, the Orleans Police Department arrested Mr. Bell for possession of a firearm by felon, and his case went to trial. It resulted in Mr. Bell's release on May 2, 2005. Shortly after, on June 20, 2005, Mr. Bell was arrested for theft of goods. Mr. Bell plead guilty, and the court sentenced him to 18 months at the Department of Corrections.
On September 1, 2007, Mr. Bell was arrested for theft of goods. Mr. Bell plead guilty, and the court sentenced him to thirty days at Orleans Parish Prison. Again, on April 27, 2008, the Orleans Police Department arrested Mr. Bell for theft of goods. On October 14, 2008, the court issued Mr. Bell's conditional release. Mr. Bell died the next day.
Public record requests sent to the Orleans Parish Prison revealed that Mr. Bell was conditionally released while at University Hospital. I assume they released him because of medical reasons that resulted in his death. The only property he had at release was medicine, and Mr. Bell had no visitors while in custody.
Early October, I spoke with a former Orleans Public Defender ("OPD"), Mr. Michael Kennedy. During our conversation, in a kind and causal tone, Mr. Kennedy informed me that he did not recall Mr. Bell. We talked about his past work with the OPD and how the court minutes often stated his name when he was not the attorney assigned to the case. He compassionately endured my questions and checked the court minutes. He asked which section of the court, and I replied, "M1." At the time, I did not think to ask why he needed the section. I assumed he would use the information to check his records. After reviewing the minutes, he affirmed his lapse in memory. I concluded our conversation with a final question: "do you know a Keith Hurtt?"
Mr. Kennedy laughed and explained that Mr. Hurtt is an acquaintance he would run into at a bar. I planned to call Mr. Hurtt next, and I wanted some insight on him. I knew from checking the LSBA member directory that Mr. Hurtt had retired. Mr. Kennedy told me Mr. Hurtt operates a bike tour company in the French Quarter. Mr. Kennedy concluded the conversation by advising me to contact the OPD. I did to no avail.
Shortly after, I contacted Mr. Hurtt. I left messages on a few phone numbers I found online. After a week or more, I believed my attempts were ineffective; however, Mr. Hurtt returned my call. Like Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Hurtt respectfully tolerated my questions and was unaware of who Patrick Bell was. He asked me which section of the court Mr. Bell was in, and I replied, "Section I." Mr. Hurtt displayed concern with his inability to remember a client that died in Orleans Parish Prison. Generally, he took note of events like death.
He asked me to read the docket master. I obliged. Once I read the words "release issued," he stopped me, and with a sigh of relief, he explained that his representation ended at that moment. The final docket entry was October 14, 2008— the day before Mr. Bell's death. That is when I learned Mr. Bell died the day after his release was issued.
After speaking with Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Hurtt, despite their kindness, I was troubled by their complicity with the system and indifference to forgetting Mr. Bell. Further, I was concerned that they knew more from the court section than Mr. Bell's name and charges. I understand that this is a problem with the system itself, yet as advocates for justice, it is unfortunate that we become complacent. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Hurtt were the only people that returned my calls. Not ready to concede, I continued my search.
Next, I researched news articles dating back to 1960 that included Mr. Bell's name. I used the Newsbank database through the library. The vast amount of information that can be found in Newsbank impressed me; however, I still came up short. I spent hours inspecting articles and learning about the lives of other individuals.
As a result, my search left me discouraged and antagonized on behalf of Mr. Bell. I kept asking myself why. Why does it fell like his life has been swept under the rug? I began to wonder if Mr. Bell's lack of a public presence was a premediated effect of incarceration. Incapacitation—the exclusion of people from society—remains and dominates as a grand tenet of our judicial system. Is our judicial system so effective to exclude unfettered aspects of a person's life?
As my deadline drew closer and leads depleted, I began to question whether Patrick B. Bell even existed. Information from public records, library resources, death records, and attorneys of record conferred only what felt like long forgotten lore of an unseen specter. Except for the letters, there is no record of Mr. Bell's death. There is no record that he owned property, registered to vote, married, filed for bankruptcy, had a judgement against him, or applied for a hunting & fishing license.
I believe the lack of records further illustrates what incarceration takes away from people—the hope of obtaining the elusive "American Dream" and the pursuit of happiness. I pray my fruitless search is not illustrative of Mr. Bell's life. Instead, I hope Mr. Bell has a family to love and cherish his memory.

through the markets or banks.
Having a financial partner, such as Maple Leaf Oil & Gas Royalty Income programs can improve the rate of return of projects for the oil & gas companies as the operator spends disproportionately less of their capital in return for a lesser amount of "top-line revenues". The oil & gas companies enhanced IRR makes every dollar of capital more efficient.
The capital from Maple Leaf Oil & Gas Royalty Income programs allows the oil & gas companies to retain control of their programs without interference from a working interest partner.
Maple Leaf Oil & Gas Royalty Income programs can be considered a financial partner rather than a directly competitive industry partner, and will not be viewed as a threat to the operator's proprietary ideas and development or exploration programs.
The additional development capital from Maple Leaf Oil & Gas Royalties frees up money that the oil & gas companies can utilize on higher impact exploration projects while at the same time ensures that development projects are funded and brought to market on schedule. The expanded CAPPEX budget through the Maple Leaf Oil & Gas Royalty Income joint venture financing program allows oil & gas companies to maintain operating momentum with respect to growing reserves and production through the drill bit.
Joint ventures financing programs like that offered by Maple Leaf Oil & Gas Royalties allow oil & gas companies to access the capital necessary to fund CAPPEX budgets without having to issue shares at current market prices (which, in the view of many oil & gas executives, are currently significantly undervalued).

Q: Largest inscribed triangle with a given vertex It is known from Blaschke and later Sas that any convex region $P$ with area $1$ admits an inscribed triangle with area at least $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4\pi}$. What if we require the triangle to have a given boundary point of P as vertex? The optimal constant should be between $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$, but I can't tighten these bounds by too much.

A: The answer is indeed $1/\pi$, equality achieved in the case of $P$ a semicircle and the point its center.
For an arbitrary convex region $P$ and a point $X$ on its boundary, consider the convex hull of $P$ and $2X - P$, and call it $S$. Then any $S$ is clearly symmetric with respect to $X$. Any triangle in $P$ having $X$ as a vertex with area $a$, induces a parallelogram in $S$ with center $X$ and area $4a$. Also we have the trivial inequality $\operatorname{area}(S) \ge 2 \operatorname{area}(P)$. So it suffices to show that, given a centrally symmetric convex region $S$ with respect to $O$, there exists a parallelogram in $S$ with center $O$ and area at least $(2/\pi) \operatorname{area}(S)$.
This can be proved by essentially the same technique used by Sas. After scaling and rotation, let $S$ be contained in the unit disc, with $(1, 0), (-1, 0) \in S$. Parametrize the boundary of $S$ by $\pm (\cos \theta, f(\theta) \sin \theta)$, where $f : (0, \pi) \to [0, 1]$. Then the area of $S$ is
$$ \operatorname{area}(S) = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi} f(\theta) \sin^2 \theta.$$
The area of the parallelogram with vertices $\pm (\cos \theta, f(\theta) \sin \theta)$ and $\pm (-\sin \theta, f(\theta + \pi/2) \cos \theta)$ is
$$\operatorname{area}(\mathrm{Par}_\theta) = 2 \Bigl( f(\theta) \sin^2 \theta + f\Bigl( \theta + \frac{\pi}{2} \Bigr) \sin^2 \Bigl( \theta + \frac{\pi}{2} \Bigr) \Bigr).$$
Averaging this area over $0 \le \theta \le \pi / 2$ shows that there exists some $\theta$ such that
$$\operatorname{area}(\mathrm{Par}_\theta) \ge \frac{2}{\pi} \operatorname{area}(S). $$

William 'Bill' Humble MBE 1911-1992
Bill Humble (right) with Sydney Camm
Bill Humble learned to fly at Marshall's Flying School at Cambridge in 1929.Trained as a mining engineer, and employed in the coal industry,his pre-war flying was done entirely for fun. He appeared at social gatherings and air-race meetings in his Speed Six Hawk. He was on the Reserve of Air Force Officers,and was one of the original members of No504 Special Reserve Squadron. When war broke out he was called up and spent 10 weeks at No11 FTS at Shawbury as an instructor. However, Government regulations caught up with him and he was hauled back to the mines. It took 11 months for him to persuade the authorities that he was more use in a cockpit than in a coal pit!
He was instructed to go to Scotland on flying duties,but on his way there he called in at Hawkers and never got any farther. It was arranged between the RAF and MAP that he should join the Hawker Company as a test pilot. At first he helped with production testing of Hurricanes and Typhoons only,and then lent a hand with prototype development under Ken Seth Smith (who was killed in 1942).
He took an active part in the development of the Tempest and Fury and from then on would make the first flights of any new aircraft which emanated from the Hawker drawing boards. He flew the prototype P.1040, (VP401) on the 2nd September 1947.

I am in the middle of finally replacing my headlight switch and harness to my headlight switch. It had been replaced before. The switch had a loose prong on the Pink/red wire and was melted there and on the Black/Yellow wire. The Black/Yellow wire was burnt where they used a blue shell wire connector.
My question is, has anyone put a relay in line on the park lamp circuit. I have been reading here that the park lamp circuit has a heavy load and causes the heat and melting. Can anyone point me to some directions to wire in a relay and is this a good idea. I have a basic 5 prong relay and harness to use.
I already know of the drill a hole in the vent trick and not to use my dimmer because of heat but I'd like to permantly fix this problem. If anyone can help chime in please as I have my dash tore apart right now.
Just leave the Normally Closed momentary contact switch out of the circuit.
Or wire it in, and be able to "wink" the clearance/parking lights.
OK so is this how it will go on a typical relay wiring diagram. I'm no wiring guru so I want to get it right.
I'd have to pull my dash to verify the pin numbers on the relay.
This is where I pulled the info when I hooked mine up with the switch.
Yeah I checked the recall first. My truck did not qualify as it was built after the certain date they had posted. My trucks headlight switch and harness had been replaced one other time by a previous owner.
Thanks Shovelhead for the diagram and link. I had to end up working on my other truck too today so I only got to install just the headlight switch. I'll wire in the relay when I get more time.
Transfer switch light comes on in park???

Cummings Gloats as Jolyon Loses Again, Court of Appeal Overturns High Court Ruling
The High Court ruling that a procurement contract was unlawfully awarded to a firm with apparent links to Dominic Cummings has this morning been overturned by the Court of Appeal. This latest defeat for Jolyon once again reiterates the pointlessness of the taxpayer cash-wasting vanity project. Will this latest ruling get the usual wall-to-wall BBC coverage awarded to Jolyon's rare supposed victories?
The case relates to a contract awarded to Public First at the start of the pandemic. Responding to the announcement Cummings tweets:
"Lord Chief Justice crushes Kimono-fox-killer: total vindication for my decisions on moving super speedy on procurement to save lives (remember all the ignorant nonsense from pundits/minor social scientists/Remainiacs?)"
Here's what Cummings had to say on the initial judgement back in July:
"Like the OWID decision, another decision I made at the height of the crisis last year was recently the subject of legal action. The High Court found that my decision to hire a company to provide insight into public understanding of covid was 'unlawful' because of 'apparent bias'. Not actual bias, which the court agreed there was no evidence of, but 'apparent bias'. This 'apparent bias' existed, the court said, because there was not a paper trail showing my thought process and the extent to which I considered hiring someone else. The judge inferred that I had not considered others therefore this could look like apparent bias — if the entire paper trail was made public in a JR into bias, which is obviously very circular reasoning!
In fact I did consider hiring others, I considered it extremely quickly and made a decision — one of dozens that day, and not the most important. I did not go through a formal process, I did not write down a list of criteria and pretend to 'rank' different companies. We had not time, we had a disease doubling every 2-3 days. I thought very quickly, made a decision, then moved on to another similar decision, then another. That was my job. My decision was expert, as the judge accepted. (Our data was appalling, PHE's communication plans were no good, we urgently needed to figure out how to communicate better to lower the probability of killing people by mistake, so I hired a company I knew would do an excellent job and they did.)"
For some people the bureaucratic procedure is more important than the outcome. They are not the kind of people you want in control during an emergency…

Research from Public First's Rachel Wolf has revealed that when asked to choose between higher taxes, borrowing, or spending cuts, a plurality of the public back spending cuts over the other options. Tax rises are most popular with high social status white collar 'AB' voters, and least popular with working class 'DE' voters, who overwhelmingly back spending cuts. Working class constituents in the red wall aren't typical Islington socialists…
The other finding is that people are less opposed to taxes they think they don't have to pay, and more opposed to taxes they think they do have to pay. In reality this translates to taxes they have to pay directly. Any tax that is indirect on business still has an economic cost that is borne in the end by individuals, for example dividend taxes reduce your pension income, business rates and carbon taxes increase consumer prices. The more taxes are understood, the less popular they become.

QUIET PLACE: Did the Survivors and Filmmakers Forget SOCKS?
When "Jurassic World" opened, the strong woman general manager persona equated a power suit and dark heels. So, when the reptiles begin escaping, you kinda overlook the executive trouncing around the compound without turning an ankle. It's a testimony to the Ginger Rogers dance statement that women do everything men do "only backwards and in high heels."
Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire had business appointments scheduled before her nephews are trapped with the reptiles. She won't let Chris Pratt search alone and , frankly, she's had the same outfit on all day.
"I do remember when she's running from the tyrannosaur thinking this is super impractical. But at the same time, the movie never has her roll an ankle and have to get rescued. It never has her break a heel. It never shows her stumbling in mud. It never does the whole "let's laugh at this dumb woman in her dumb woman clothes" thing. She's dressed appropriately for what she has to do that day. I just thought, you know what, why wouldn't she be wearing heels the whole time? She doesn't have quick, easy access to any other shoes and she wants to save her nephews. She just toughs through it."
However, when June comes Howard returns to the island wearing BOOTS, not heels.
"A Quiet Place" has the opposite problem. The jump all night in your sleep mostly silent survival monster thriller resonates due to its concentration on the ordeal of one family.
The barefoot tip toeing quietness as they wear parkas and gloves at the abandoned small grocer/pharmacy nearly completely spoils my suspension of disbelief. All the sign language and sound suppression stays simple until activities later on. Non-frozen yet shivering tough footsies has an overlooked option ---- heavy socks (or perhaps ,light, rubber ballet-esque footwear).
Stretching that a little deeper (spoiler hint), the exterior light footed movements in the forest and on the farm has more super sound suppression merit than interior movement. Hence, the visit to an abandoned town in snowy weather minus a warm sock hunt seems utterly foolish.
An astute reviewer readily noted that their "paths" appear well worn and cleared. However, the same individual noted the discrepancy after venturing outside and around the house with one bare and one sock foot.
Jumping forward, the endurance factor will become more of a significant premise element, when a painful nail becomes a treacherous trap.
Since dinosaur dung and other entrapment avoiding, by Bryce Dallas Howard wearing moderate high heels in Jurassic World drew intense attention, she won't wear them in the next installment. Quiet Place 2 needs socks, shoe socks, ballet slippers, even Native American moccasins.... anything but 24/7 barefeet in snowy depths.


Those ugly deeds that pretty fist commits after Sonnet 41, "Those pretty wrongs that liberty commits"

His Beauty blinds him to Hostility.
Beautious thou art, therefore to be assailed.
Will sorely leave her 'til he have prevailed.

d.b.a, one of the most prominent Frenchmen St music clubs in New Orleans has announced that starting January 3rd of the new year, smoking will not be allowed inside.
d.b.a will join notable New Orleans music venues such as Tipitina's and Republic in its adoption of a smoking ban. Management states that the move will represent a positive change for employees and performers at the venue who traditionally had to tolerate considerable amounts of second-hand smoke whether or not they themselves were smokers.
Indoor smoking bans are becoming prominent across the United States as concern for the health of employees and patrons as well as awareness of the danger of smoking increase.
Smoking bans in New Orleans are expected to be received without much resistance as long as the city maintains its long tradition of allowing open containers of alcohol on the streets.
If you or someone you know are arrested for public intoxication or another "party-related" crime, contact Bloom Legal at 504-599-9997 to schedule a consultation to discuss the details of your case.


Climate change (CC) will have serious and profound impacts on pests and diseases of agricultural crops in Europe and it is vital that new tools and management methods are developed to tackle the problems that will increasingly threaten EU food production as a result. •In this project, for the first time, comprehensive state-of-the-art genomic, metabolomic and modelling methods will be used to develop the necessary tools and management methods for tackling spider mites that are increasingly serious pests of many important crops throughout the EU. •This will not only be an outstanding contribution to spider mite management under climate change but crucially be an example, demonstrating how the best and most advanced modelling and molecular methods can be applied to the vast array of other important pests and diseases that will develop because of climate change. •Spider mite outbreaks and crop damage are strongly favoured by high temperatures and drought stress caused by (CC) (especially in combination) that will have serious impacts not only in southern Europe, but throughout the continent because of more extreme and variable weather events including heat waves and droughts. The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (TSSM), is a highly polyphagous species which attacks many crops and is adapting to attack several important new crops including grape vines and corn. Tetranychus evansi (TE) is a recently arrived alien invasive pest that is spreading through Europe and attacks important solanacious crops including tomato and potato. •Phytoseiid predatory mites are the main natural predators that regulate spider mite populations and are introduced as biocontrol agents in crops. They are harmed by broad-spectrum insecticides and the increasing use of these to control other alien invasive pests, e.g. spotted wing Drosophila and brown marmorated stink bug, lead to more serious outbreaks of spider mites. •In this project, teams from 7 EU countries and Canada will model the tritrophic interactions between crops, populations of spider mite pests and their predators under CC. Crucially, this will be accompanied by determination and modelling of the reciprocal transcriptional and metabolomic changes in the crop and the pest and their interactions under CC. •This holistic study will be done on a model annual and a model perennial crop plant (tomato and strawberry) and with two contrasting spider mite species, TSSM and TE. In addition, we will search for elicitors and effectors of TSSM and TE that are capable of modulating plant defences. Using Systems biology approaches, we will link the performance of plants and mites with genome-wide changes in their responses. •This comprehensive knowledge will be an invaluable resource for new tools and methods for climate-smart pest control including markers for breeding resistant varieties, predicting pest outbreaks and biocontrol and metabolites with that can be used as biopesticides.

Education Policies and a Young Generation
In Taiwan, it was genuinely laborious to issue in the university because in that respect were non many woofs for citizens. approximately throng said that everyone should charter a chance to lay down a good education, so they encouraged the regime to prove more(prenominal) universities in the past. However, creating besides many universities was a stray which resulted in problems for our education governance and society.\nFirst of all, the creation of more universities for students is because or so people believed that the tho way that they could increase the prototype of lifespan was to reinforce the strategy of our education. It was an honor in my rises generation when soul could enter a university. For instance, my mystify always told me how she regretted that she could not engender an opportunity to complete her studies because in that respect were not much schools that she could choice and the transportation did not bring forth entirely. Both limited op tions of schools and touchy public transportation were the most challenging reasons in that period. Although the government considered that it could be beneficial to our society, they did not realize this decision would progress to a huge refer on people in the future.\nSince entering university has become an simplified thing for people, Taiwanese people express that the universities are very free, which resembles a heaven. For example, I commemorate that a student got a very base pretend on query for college entrance. Normally, he should overhear taking an examination again next year, moreover he entered a low level university and he could not find a uplifted paying job afterward he graduated. The government evaluate the enhancement of citizens living by constructing the universities. In fact, this polity also leads many universities to go bankrupt and causes majority teachers to have difficulty finding a new job in the school. The educational policy rancid into a di saster because students neither cherished their opportunity to study nor acquired much knowled...

Q: RecyclerView Set Alpha To Selected Item I have implemented a horizontal RecyclerView which has all items alpha set to 0.5 in the XML, so that I can set the alpha to 1f when an item is selected however I have implemented an onItemClick in onCreate of MainActivity and not in public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull ViewHolder holder, int position). Below is the code for onItemClick
    public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {

        ImageView ivPreview;
        ivPreview = findViewById(R.id.ivPreview);
        ivPreview.setAlpha(1f); //<-- this should set to selected item

        url_abs_fileName = adapter_hgv_preview.getItem(position);

        vp_adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter_Catalogue(this, strArr_MainImage);
        vp.setAdapter(vp_adapter);
        vp.setCurrentItem(position);
    }

How do I set this ivPreview.setAlpha(1f); only on the selected item? (Currently it sets to first item no matter which item is clicked)

A: You have access to the clicked view already.
public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {

        //ImageView ivPreview;
        //ivPreview = findViewById(R.id.ivPreview);
        //ivPreview.setAlpha(1f); //<-- this should set to selected item

        //reset all view state in recyclerview
         myAdapter.notifyDataSetchanged();
         recyclerView.invalidate();

        //set opacity of current view
         view.setAlpha(1f);

         //set opacity of child if it is wrapped around a parent element or view group
         View childView = view.findViewById(R.id.ivPreview);
         childView.setAlpha(1f);

        ...

Edit
An alternative option would be to save the selected position to preference, redraw the recyclerview onItem click then make use of saved position when initialize adapter views.
public void onItemClick(View view, int position) {

        //Initialize preference: You may want to take this outside
        SharedPreference prefs = getActivity().getSharedPreferences("myprefs", MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreference.Editor editor = prefs.edit();

       //Save position to preference to retrieve later
       editor.putInt("position",position).apply();

        //reset all view state in recyclerview
         myAdapter.notifyDataSetchanged();
         recyclerView.invalidate();

        //no need of setting alpha here
        ...

Then in your adapter onBindViewHolder
        //Initialize preference: You may want to take this outside
        SharedPreference prefs = context.getSharedPreferences("myprefs", MODE_PRIVATE);
        //reset view to initial state
        holder.ivPreview.setAlpha(0.5f);
        //get last selected view
        if(prefs.getInt("position",-2) == position)
        holder.ivPreview.setAlpha(1f);

Black Rock Sands is 5 minutes' drive from Porthmadog (turn right at the Post Office onto 'Bank Place') and is a large sandy beach which is dog friendly all year (restrictions in summer months). Great views of Criccieth Castle.
Beddgelert is approx. 4.5 miles along the A498 north (turn left out of the park). This picturesque village has a stop for the Welsh Highland Railway and a large pay & display car park. There are two easy access walks on either side of the river Glaslyn; one to Gelert's Grave and the other to the Devils Bridge in Pont Aberglaslyn (this does get uneven towards the end).
Snowdonia has many fantastic walks for all abilities (see the guide in the caravan). However one of our favourites is the walk from Ogwen Cottage around the Llyn Idwal tarn and surrounded by amazing views of Tryfan and The Glyders. This walk takes approximately an hour and is not strenuous. Refreshments and toilets at the Cottage.
Llanberis is approximately 30 minutes' drive (18 miles) and from here you can park and walk up Snowdon, or for the less energetic catch the steam train. In summer months it is advisable to book to avoid disappointment.
Harlech is 10 miles away (20 minutes' drive) and is a pretty little place with fantastic castle, well worth a visit. A few cafes and gift shops there too. The beach is just outside the town and is a large sandy beach on which dogs are welcome all year (restrictions in summer months).
Llandanwg is South of Harlech (2 miles) and is a really pretty beach which is again dog friendly.
Additional Info: Children's playground, WiFi, Woodland Walks.

Royal Philips' Avalon beltless solution, the latest addition to Philips' comprehensive obstetrical care (OB) solution, has received CE mark approval.
The system allows for continuous foetal and maternal monitoring that automatically streams patient data to the EMR through Philips obstetrical information management system, IntelliSpace Perinatal.
The solution provides clinicians with the ability to monitor patients' vital signs from their mobile devices through Avalon monitors, allowing clinicians to spend more time with the expectant mother.
When it comes to foetal monitoring, mothers with high Body Mass Index (BMI) can be difficult to monitor using conventional ultrasound technology. However, according to a recent study, accuracy and reliability of foetal heart rate monitoring using abdominal foetal electrocardiogram were unaffected by maternal obesity.
Designed with electrode technology, the OB solution offers all expectant mothers, including women with high BMI, more mobility with the Avalon beltless solution, which enables clinicians to continuously monitor both foetal and maternal heart rates and uterine activity.
With comfort as a key priority, the solution allows expectant mothers to move freely during labour, connecting to the hospital wireless network while transmitting patient data back to the Avalon foetal monitors and then the EMR through the IntelliSpace Perinatal.
This continuous patient data enables care teams to communicate effectively, perform informed clinical decisions wherever the patient is in the hospital and allow for quick intervention at the first sign of abnormality.
"Providing the best-quality care for expectant mothers continues to be a priority for clinicians," said Felix Baader, business leader for monitoring and analytics at Philips.

The WWE stars recently revealed that they low-key tied the knot—at 1A.M.!!!!
Apparently, love is taking over the wrestling ring. Earlier this month, WWE star John Cena proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Nikki Bella, at WrestleMania 33. And just a couple of weeks ago, Total Divas star Renee Young revealed that she had secretly tied the knot with wrestler Dean Ambrose. Now, the newlywed is dishing all about her low-key nuptials—including the after-midnight hour she and Ambrose said "I do!"
Rumors of the nuptials between the WWE announcer and the wrestler were stirred up when Young was spotted rocking a diamond sparkler on Monday Night Raw. Then, a couple of days later, she seemingly confirmed the nuptial news with a single tweet: "Marriage is nice," she wrote. "Thanks for all the love." That's all we get?! Seriously?!
Thankfully, the reality star is now dishing the details on this top-secret wedding. "It was two weeks on Sunday, it's really cool, it feels nice, and it feels right," she told E! News. "Every time I look down and I see my ring and every time we're together, I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you're my husband now!' It does feel more special. It feels different, and we're in that fun honeymoon stage. I love it."
Aww! But why keep the nuptial news so classified? "I wouldn't even really say that we were engaged," Young explained. "We've been together for three and a half years, and we knew that we wanted to have a Vegas wedding because we live in Las Vegas. We just figured we'd do it there and we'd just do it super low-key. We got our marriage license about six months ago when we were in Reno. There was a live event in Reno, and I was there with him, and we just happen to walk up to city hall, and we went and got our marriage license then. So we'd been sitting on it so we could do this spur-of-the-moment 'Hey, let's get married tonight' kind of thing."
And it doesn't get more spur of the moment than this! According to Young, she and her new hubby were just relaxing at home one night when they randomly decided the time was right to get hitched.
"We were going to bed! We were going to bed, and he, like, busted out the ring, and we were like, 'Oh man, I guess we should do this now.' So we ended up going on Yelp, and we found a 24-hour pastor to come to our backyard. It was so handy, and his name was Pastor Pete, and he lived around the corner from us, so he was there. They were very concerned, by the way, because it was one o'clock in the morning, so technically it was Sunday and they were very concerned about us calling. They were like, 'Is everything OK? Have you guys been drinking? What's happening?' We're like, 'It's fine, you can come down.' So we had to get a witness, and we called and woke up a friend of ours and got it done."
"We're very nontraditional," said this new wifey. "So that's why we didn't feel like we needed to do the engagement or to do this big, fancy wedding. It was so perfect and so us. There's not a single thing about it I would change."

Who ever claimed 'couples who workout together stay together' clearly was not part of a couple!
We've tried, a few times, to do our training together. Not once has it been successful. It generally goes something like this – 'slow down, you're going too slow, you need to tell me before the turn, you should try it this way'.
It's that last one. That 'I know best' attitude I find the hardest. Just NO!
We both ran round Loch Leven a couple of weekends ago. It wasn't a great pace I admit. I'm finding speed really difficult at the moment and it's getting me down. I told him the 13 miles was going to be about a 2 hour run at the start. It started off ok. He was 'glowing' in an aura of 'I'm so much faster than you.' I would liken it to running with a dog who goes here there and everywhere. Yes, that's right, I just compared my husband to a dog. Deal with it.
I ignored it. Focused on my own running. My legs were really sore and tired so it was an easy distraction. I even managed to bite my tongue through his comments of 'you're rolling your left foot in' and 'you slow down so much on a hill, you should really try to go faster'. The last one almost gained him a swift kick but, like I said, my legs were sore.
Today we did the same route again but in reverse. His choice. Again it started ok. There's heavy snow on the ground and conditions are difficult so it was single file at the start. I was actually in front. Shock. Horror. Obviously this didn't last. He went in front and took off. After about a mile of having at least 100 meters between us he eventually waited for me to catch up. He then said 'Are you not feeling well? You're quite a bit slower than usual'.
What the bloody hell did he think WE were???? Freaking joggers??!! Are you ACTUALLY kidding me?!?
That was it. It was all guns blazing then. I'm talking tantrum central! It started with running related issues – you know the usual of you're meant to be running with me not a couple of hundred metres down the trail etc – and carried on through every tiny little niggle possible. Including leaving his socks on the floor. (Although he probably didn't hear that one as I'm pretty sure only dogs could hear my squealing by that point). He definitely heard the one about him using all of the cliff shots he bought ME for my birthday!
Of course, because I was letting off more steam than the Flying Scotsman, my pace slowed even more. He started arguing back but very quickly realised the only way out of this was to try desperately not to laugh and make the situation worse. And naturally when we came across other people on the trail I quickly switched from psychotic, screaming wife to happy runner woman who politely said hello with a smile on my face.
Couples are NOT made to work out together. Fact! They just aren't compatible for that kind of pressure. Show me a couple who claim they never argue and never hate each other ever and I will introduce you to the current President of America.
By the time we finished our 12 miles of World War 3 the snow started up again – but I did feel better! Ironically so did he. Not that I cared about that at the time.
Will we go running together again? Well….. certainly not any time soon. Next Sunday I'm joining the club for their run and he can do what ever he damn well pleases.
Less chance of us wanting to kill each other that way.
For anyone who doesn't own a calendar (or a mobile or a watch with the date on it) it's now 3 weeks in to 2018.
That means less than 3 months until Manchester Marathon. My first big task of the year. The one race I need speed for. Not the drug! Let me be clear. I mean pace.
Up until recently it's not been there. I was panicking. Every run was 'slow' – not where I needed to be. It should be 8m20 pace but I was coming in at more 8m45. That's way off! Yes I did Marcothon in December, yes it's snowing and there's ice on the ground but I should still be faster.
Theres been a few spanner's in the works, a few adjustments needing made. I've had a things come up at work that have thrown off my routine – and my god do I hate it when my routine is messed with. I can feel the words 'f@cked off' burning on my forehead. But luckily, I do have people around me that understand. I started noticing more and more of the 'head tilt' (think Monica and Richard in Friends) and hearing more 'You've not been for a run have you'. It's ok I didn't kill anyone. But I have started moving a lot more quickly to solution mode when this happens. Lunch runs have moved to late afternoon and occasionally straight after work.
Then there was the work trip to London for the day which meant a 5am start and a 10:30pm finish. It turned out to be a 2:30am start as my youngest was up ill in the night. This distracted me all day but I 'coped'. His dad took the day off so I knew he was fine. I only hid in the bathroom twice when I started to panic – quite an improvement. And I was distracted by the many funny looks when ever I chose the stairs instead of the escalators. Apparently no one in London uses stairs!
And then, The Plague hit my house. Everyone- and I mean everyone – got it. First it was the youngest, then it was Joe, then Lucie. My oldest was told to stay at a friends (he's 18, spends most his time out or in bed anyway). I sent him a lovely text. 'Don't come home, you'll get sick, stay at a friends'. Best mum ever award right there.
The dogs being sick was the final straw for me. That almost broke me. I can handle most things. Holding Lucies hair back whilst fetching Oliver water and getting pain killers for Joe is fine. Cleaning up what comes out of a dog? Not so much.
When I eventually returned to work I was met with a meeting booked during my lunch run time. I then discovered my work had been allocated 3 London Marathon places and they had just been handed to certain people. No opportunity for selection. None of the 'clear and transparent' behaviour they like to drill in to us. You can imagine the rage. So when I eventually got a break I hit the treadmill. Hard. 5k in 23mins 16secs. Bye bye 8m 45 pace.
Then last night it was hills with the road runners. Now I'm most certainly not saying it was easy but it was slightly easier than last time. After checking good old Strava I noticed that my running in January 2017 was the same. It was slower. I found the month hard. The penny dropped.
Clearly, like many others, I just find January a hard month to get moving. But that's ok. Get over it. Do your hills, do your track and it will come together.
Plus I got quite a lot of new running gear so it would be a shame for that to go to waste ha ha.

Mol Cell. 2019 Feb 7;73(3):589-600.e4. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2018.11.021. Epub 2019 Jan 10.
Department of Biochemistry, University of Zurich, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland. Electronic address: jinek@bioc.uzh.ch.
CRISPR-Cas12a (Cpf1) is an RNA-guided DNA-cutting nuclease that has been repurposed for genome editing. Upon target DNA binding, Cas12a cleaves both the target DNA in cis and non-target single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) in trans. To elucidate the molecular basis for both DNase cleavage modes, we performed structural and biochemical studies on Francisella novicida Cas12a. We show that guide RNA-target strand DNA hybridization conformationally activates Cas12a, triggering its trans-acting, non-specific, single-stranded DNase activity. In turn, cis cleavage of double-stranded DNA targets is a result of protospacer adjacent motif (PAM)-dependent DNA duplex unwinding, electrostatic stabilization of the displaced non-target DNA strand, and ordered sequential cleavage of the non-target and target DNA strands. Cas12a releases the PAM-distal DNA cleavage product and remains bound to the PAM-proximal DNA cleavage product in a catalytically competent, trans-active state. Together, these results provide a revised model for the molecular mechanisms of both the cis- and the trans-acting DNase activities of Cas12a enzymes, enabling their further exploitation as genome editing tools.

LBank Wraps Up "The LBank Show," First Premium Four-city Crypto Tour in India | by LBank Exchange | LBank | Aug, 2022
LBank Wraps Up "The LBank Show," First Premium Four-city Crypto Tour in India
LBank took its crusade for crypto mass education and adoption to the megacities of India. The exchange gave the communities what could be termed the best experience as they ensured that every participant had a feeling of being a part of a revolution that will skyrocket the growth of the sphere.
Little wonder the exchange noticed a considerable increase in Indian users right after the tour. In fact, each day records more users from the region signing up and trading with the platform.
"The LBank Show" was very much talked about on all social media, including Twitter, where it ranked second on the trends list. The co-organisers, such as LBank Labs, Encryptus, and Swaraj Projeckt, made the events even more phenomenal.
