Q: Inserting increment for each unique value in sql I've been tasked with a SQL problem that is outside of the limited scope of sql knowledge that I have. I have the following problem.
I have a table that currently looks like this:
 widgets
---------
    a
    a
    a
    b
    b
    c
    d
    d
    d

I would like to have another table that has each unique value incrementally numbered... Like so:
widgets  | widget_id
--------- ----------
    a    |    1
    a    |    1
    a    |    1
    b    |    2
    b    |    2
    c    |    3
    d    |    4
    d    |    4
    d    |    4

I'm not sure how this would be done with an insert statement?

A: Create a table with an IDENTITY column:
something like this:
CREATE TABLE widget_ids (
  widget_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  widget varchar(5)
)

AND run this command:
INSERT INTO
  widget_ids (widget)
SELECT DISTINCT
  widget
FROM
  widgets

Now, this is all just an example.  If you wanted a long-term solution, you would want to index your 'widget' field in the widget_ids table, and you would want to make sure that a value was entered for each new widget.

EDIT: Oh, also, to get the exact table you have listed second, you would left join the widgets table to the widget_ids table:
SELECT
    w.widget,
    wi.widget_id
FROM
    widgets w
LEFT JOIN
    widget_ids wi
  ON
    w.widget = wi.widget

And here, of course, indexing is your friend.

A: I think that server-side cursors are probably your best option for this.  I believe that the following will work:
DECLARE @widgets varchar(20)
DECLARE @widget_id int
DECLARE @widget_count int
DECLARE @index int

DECLARE widgets_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT [widgets], COUNT(*)
FROM [original_widgets_table]
GROUP BY [widgets]

SET @widget_id = 0

OPEN widgets_cursor

FETCH NEXT FROM widgets_cursor INTO @widget, @widget_count
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
  SET @widget_id = @widget_id + 1
  SET @index = 0

  WHILE @index < @widget_count
  BEGIN
    INSERT [new_widgets_table]
    (
    widget
    , widget_id
    )
    SELECT
    @widget
    , @widget_id

    SET @index = @index + 1
  END

  FETCH NEXT FROM widgets_cursor INTO @widget, @widget_count
END

CLOSE widgets_cursor

DEALLOCATE widgets_cursor

A: Well, it wouldn't be done with a insert statement.
create a temp table with an auto_increment id and the distinct widget.
Then join the widget table to the temp table, and update the widget with the temp table's id.
What you're doing here, is normalizing your data. Once you have a table of (distinct widget, id), you'd then have any other table that needed to refer to a widget instead refer to the widget id this generates.

A: My MySQL syntax is not very good, but assuming you've created your new table above, wouldn't something like this work?
set @i = 0;

create temporary table t_widget_id
as
    select distinct widgets, @i:=@i+1 as widget_id from widgets

insert into widget_new
    select widgets.widgets,
            t_widget_id.widget_id
        from
            widgets inner join
                t_widget_id
                    on widgets.widgets = t_widget_id.widgets

drop table t_widget_id

Serious questions here.
1. Was it Kurts fault and will he be publicly flogged?
2. Did the Russians take out the flag like they did Hilary's campaign?
3. Were there any Russian bots involved?
4. Can we blame Nowonmai somehow?
5. Are you fluoridating the water to contaminate our precious bodily fluids?

By Ian Shapira December 8, 2017 Email the author
A marathon legal battle between a combat knife salesman and Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater, came to an end Friday, after a Northern Virginia jury awarded the former security firm executive $2.6 million in civil damages on numerous counts, including breach of contract and fraud.
The jury's decision comes after a testy and lengthy dispute between Prince, 48, who is an ex-Navy SEAL, and Robert Young Pelton, 62, a California-based war correspondent who owns a survival gear company called DPx Gear. For several years, the two men have been suing each other, first in federal court and then in Loudoun County, where Prince keeps a residence in nearby Middleburg.
[Blackwater founder Erik Prince battles a former business partner]
The trial in Leesburg — which featured rare public testimony by Prince — happened to coincide with his name surfacing in connection with a meeting early this year with an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his purported pitch to President-elect Donald Trump to establish a private network of spies. (Prince denied his involvement with that proposal, which was reported this week by The Intercept.)
Prince, who sold Blackwater in 2010 after years of scandals and government investigations, had hired Pelton in early 2011 to manufacture and sell Blackwater-branded combat knives, apparel and other items in an effort to revive the company's reputation.
But it did not work out that way.
Pelton claimed that Prince prematurely terminated their Blackwater contract in 2013, just as the former Blackwater chief was procuring a $2 million book deal with Portfolio Penguin for his autobiography, "Civilian Warriors." Pelton argued that Prince owed him $961,000.
[Erik Prince goes to war against a former business partner]
Prince, meanwhile, countersued, accusing Pelton of breach of contract, fraud, unjust enrichment and civil theft. He argued that he had given Pelton's company more than $2 million and received no return on any investment. Worse, Prince argued, Pelton misallocated $720,000 of his money for a website that Pelton established called the Somalia Report, which tracked news about piracy and hostages. Prince claimed he never gave Pelton permission to use his money for the website — and that his wire transfers should have been dedicated solely to their Blackwater brand contract.
But during the trial, Pelton showed jurors a contract between the two men in which Prince agreed to pay Pelton $133,000 a month to ramp up the Somalia Report into a 24-7 news operation and furnish him with exclusive, on-demand information about piracy in Somalia.
Prince, however, said he never signed the Somalia Report contract and suggested that his signature on the document was somehow transposed. Prince also testified that he told Pelton over the phone not to spend the $720,000 on the website.
During closing arguments, Pelton's attorney, Brian C. Riopelle, said that was not true. He said Pelton emailed Prince numerous times about his plans to spend Prince's $720,000 on the Somalia Report — and Prince never objected.
"Unfortunately, Erik Prince is lying," Riopelle told jurors. "He claims he objected, but don't you think he would have put that in writing? Why is Erik Prince lying? He doesn't want to pay his bills."
But Prince's attorney, Thomas Dunlap, countered and said the real person who was wronged was the former Blackwater executive.
"All we're asking for is to make Erik Prince whole," Dunlap said. "Because he got nothing from this. It's not fair."

All seven jurors declined to comment after the court adjourned.
Riopelle said Pelton planned to file a motion to strike the jury's verdict, and if that route fails, to appeal to the Supreme Court of Virginia.
Neither Pelton nor Prince attended the reading of the verdict. Pelton had flown to Poland. Prince, his attorney said, flew to the United Arab Emirates.

khat addiction
How Do People Get Khat?
Khat is a stimulant that occurs in the plant Catha edulis, which is an evergreen shrub that grows in small trees or bushes. The plant is grown mostly in East Africa, Yemen, and other Middle Eastern countries; however, the plant is very robust and can be grown under a number of conditions. People chew the leaves, make the leaves or other parts of the plant into a tea, or make them into a paste.
Khat and Its Effects
Where khat is indigenous, the majority of individuals who use this substance chew it. It is very rarely used in the tea and even more rarely smoked. The person using khat typically fills their mouth with leaves and stalks, chews them slowly to extract the juice, and then swallows the juice. The material is chewed into a ball, much in the way that tobacco is chewed here in the United States. Chewing khat is typically a social activity in areas where the plan is indigenous.
The substance also has significant cultural uses in these areas, such as being used at weddings or religious ceremonies. The psychoactive substances in khat have stimulant- or amphetamine-like effects, and the substance is typically used to increase work capacity, improve performance, or stay awake or alert.
Khat contains well over 40 different substances, including alkaloids, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and others. It appears that the environment in which the shrub is grown has some effect on the specific chemical profile of the leaves. The psychoactive compounds of note found in khat consist of amphetamine-like substances. These two substances, cathinone (?-keto-amphetamine) and cathine (d-norpseudoephedrine), are classified differently by the United States government).
Cathinone is a Schedule I substance, according to the DEA, whereas cathine is a Schedule IV controlled substance. This produces a rather sticky situation because Schedule I substances are illegal to possess by individuals in the United States and deemed to have no medicinal use by the DEA. A Schedule IV substance can be obtained by individuals legally if they have a prescription from a physician. Because khat leaves contain an illegal controlled substance, the possession of them constitutes a crime.
The effects of using khat are reported as:
Increased energy
Increased alertness
A tendency to become excitable or distractible
Increased talkativeness
Sensitivity to changes in the environment
Increased heartbeat
Increased blood pressure
Increased thirst
Potential dehydration
Decreased need for sleep
Sores in the mouth
>Who Uses the Drug and How Do They Get It?
Most sources, such as the DEA and the United States Justice Department, report that khat use in the United States primarily occurs in immigrant groups, particularly those who come from where the drug is indigenous. The largest concentrations of use of this drug occur in cities with significant immigrant populations from the Middle East and Africa (e.g., cities like New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, etc.). These individuals most likely obtain the drug as a result of illegal shipments from countries where it is indigenous and grown freely.
For example, a very large global khat trafficking group that imported the drug into New York made headlines in 2014 after they were arrested. A similar arrest was made in California around the same time and involved seizures of illegally imported khat plants. A number of individuals may obtain khat from illegal smugglers and dealers in the same way that marijuana was once smuggled into the country. The DEA also lists a number of illegal shipments that were seized and even small amounts of the drug seized in the mail in recent years. Despite these seizures, khat use still remains relatively obscure outside of certain immigrant populations in United States.
There are also a number of sites that report offering the sale of khat or instructions on how to grow the drug. It is unclear if the drug is being grown in significant quantities in the United States; however, given the popularity of marijuana and its farming in the United States, it is almost certain that khat could also be successfully grown in this country on both a large and small basis.
A number of sites advertise khat seeds and growing instructions. Given the hardiness of the plant and its ability to endure a number of different environmental conditions, it is almost certain that a number of private individuals are growing it. These sites report that the seeds are legal to sell, but not the plant. There seems to be some confusion on this issue, but whether or not it is legal to purchase the seeds, anyone who grows or owns khat plants in the United States is breaking the law and subject to prosecution.
Treatment for Abuse
There is no formal treatment protocol for khat abuse, and there are no medications designed to specifically treat the symptoms of khat abuse or any potential withdrawal symptoms to the drug. Treatment would most likely follow the protocol used for treating individuals who have stimulant use disorders, such as addiction to cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, etc.
Drugs that would most likely have utility in the treatment of a stimulant use disorders as result of khat abuse would be drugs like benzodiazepines to control physical symptoms of withdrawal, mild stimulants such as Provigil to address the lethargy and sleepiness that typically occurs when individuals discontinue use of stimulant drugs, and other medications to control cravings. The use of behavioral interventions, including therapy and social support group involvement, would also be an important part of the recovery process.
The therapy involved in treating an individual with a stimulant use disorders as result of khat abuse would have to consider the cultural background of the individual along with other factors in order to make treatment successful. Individuals from populations that typically use khat often have a different outlook regarding substance abuse. It is important to take these cultural differences into consideration if they are present.
Despite any cultural differences, the most successful approach to recovery from any substance use disorder involves engaging in abstinence from the specific drug of abuse and other potential drugs of abuse. In circumstances where an individual has a significantly different cultural viewpoint, the approach to recommending abstinence would have to be done in a culturally sensitive manner. This would involve getting the individual's friends, family members, and even spiritual leaders to also participate in the overall treatment program for the person. This could mean using family therapy and group therapy interspersed with psychoeducation in order to produce a culturally sensitive approach that would be effective.

"But what if you wanted to crowdsource something that is [only] interesting to you as a company?" Goisser said. Then you'd need the right incentive system to convince people to contribute. And that's where Rlay (pronounced "relay") comes in — the startup is launching onstage today as part of our Startup Battlefield at Disrupt Berlin.
There are other startups, like Dirt Protocol, offering blockchain-powered tools for data collection and verification. But it sounds like one of Rlay's big selling points is its ability to integrate with existing enterprise database technology.
In other words, Rlay leverages the blockchain side of things to provide a mechanism for people to contribute data and be rewarded for their contributions (each customer decides how they want to structure the incentives), but the goal is to collect the data in a format that's useful for the company, and where, if the company desires, it can be kept private.
There are almost as many ways [of] incentivizing as there are different types of financial products. Obviously some ways are more robust than others and we outlined a very general and universal incentive mechanism in our whitepaper, but for most of the applications that is a little bit to complex. So with Rlay, we will provide some templates in the future and certainly advice for certain ways when we work with a client, but Rlay just gives a good interface to define these things very easily.
Ultimately, this should allow companies to acquire the data they need at a lower cost than going out and buying data sets or hiring their own data collection team. For example, Hirn said Rlay is working with "a big name in the blockchain space" to gather environmental, social and governance (ESG) data required by hedge funds and other investors.
For now, Hirn said Rlay is focused on working with developers to collect data that's online but not aggregated or structured in a way that makes it easily accessible. In the ESG case, that means writing scripts to pull the data from the reports that many companies are already publishing. Ultimately, Rlay could move into collecting data from the physical world, as well.
Goisser said the company is also developing various ways to recognize and resolve conflicting data, so its customers can be sure that the information they're collecting is accurate.

Perhaps encouraged by U.S. statements, in April 2012, in the midst of a standoff with China over Scarborough Shoal, Philippines Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario stated that "In terms of U.S. commitment . . . they have expressed that they will honor their obligations under the Mutual Defense Treaty." Manila has called for explicitly including the disputed islands in the United States–Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, but the 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement left this ambiguous. The treaty only commits the United States to help defend the "metropolitan territory" of the Philippines and the "Pacific Area." Beyond that, Washington has remained evasive on the extent of its commitment.
In a May 2016 interview, former Philippines president Benigno Aquino III asserted that the U.S. "has to maintain . . . the confidence of one of its allies," and "would be obligated to take military action in the South China Sea if China moved to reclaim a hotly contested reef directly off the Philippine shore." The following month, at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Defense Secretary Ash Carter, answering a question about a U.S. response if China's continues is territorial expansion in the South, especially occupying Scarborough Shoal, stated, "it will result in actions being taken . . . by the United States . . . . which will have the effect of not only increasing tensions, but isolating China." Speaking at the conference, Senator John McCain said, "I am confident that America will continue to . . . secure our enduring national interests, uphold our treaty commitments, and safeguard open seas and open commerce." Neither explicitly referenced coming to the defense of the Philippines if it is embroiled in a militarized conflict over disputed islands as an obligation under the U.S.-Philippines mutual defense treaty. Some have suggested that Washington should strengthen the alliance with the Philippines and "announce that its mutual defense treaty with the Philippines includes the disputed Scarborough Shoal," but recognize that this "might unintentionally promote more provocative behavior by the Philippines." Washington has recently taken steps to enhance the Philippines' air and maritime domain awareness.
When the much anticipated Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling is issued, assuming it is favorable to the Philippines, this will provide Manila legal and political leverage to press for more resolute U.S. support when the Philippines seeks to enforce the court's judgement or if China moves against Scarborough Shoal. Anticipating Washington's support, the Philippines also may show less restraint and engage in riskier behavior when asserting claims against China, potentially entrapping Washington in a militarized conflict with Beijing over uninhabitable rocks in the South China Sea. However, newly-installed Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte's conciliatory position contrasts with former president Aquino's. Duterte has indicated that he will pursue conciliation with Beijing, even with a favorable decision by the Permanent Court of Arbitration. But, while this will reduce the likelihood of the U.S. becoming entrapped in a Philippines-China conflict, it also will cause some tension in the U.S.–Philippines alliance if it appears that Manila is distancing itself from Washington.
Beijing is attuned to the alliance security dilemma and China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson warned Washington that "strengthening . . . the military alliance will only aggravate confrontation and does not help solve the issue. China hopes [the] relevant country could bear in mind regional peace and stability, take a responsible attitude and act prudently." With the alliance security dilemma in mind, Washington must carefully calibrate its commitments. The U.S. does not want to enable its allies and risk entrapment, but also does not want to give carte blanche to China. This is especially true regarding the hypersensitive issue of territorial disputes, one of the major causes of war.

L'Age d'Or (1930)
December 31, 2018 January 1, 2019 / swampflix
The short-form collaboration between surrealist masters Luis Buñuel & Salvador Dali, Un Chien Andalou, is standard Film Class 101 material by now. I'm saying this as someone who's never actually taken a proper film course, but has been shown the film in creative writing lectures, heard it referenced in Pixies lyrics, and (most recently) seen Agnes Varda mull over its legacy in her recent art instillation documentary Faces Places. The juxtaposed images of clouds intersecting the moon and a cow's eyeball being cut-open with a straight razor are an especially gory slice of early cinema just as fundamental to the medium as Méliès's trip to the moon, Charlie Chaplin's sliding through machine gears, and a steam engine train rapidly approaching the screen. It feels ignorant, then, that I was not aware of the 17min short's feature length follow-up, L'Age d'Or. His second collaboration (and final, due to a social falling-out) with Salvador Dali, L'Age d'Or was Buñuel's first feature-length film. It maintains the surreal juxtaposition of highly political, violently non-sequitur imagery from Un Chien Andalou, but this time hung off a more recognizable narrative and sustained for a full hour. As that story is remarkably thin & self-subverting, however, L'Age d'Or often plays like a loose anthology of comically surreal vignettes; it's essentially a sketch comedy revue with a fine art pedigree. That kind of highfalutin pranksterism is very much on-brand for both Dali & Buñuel (who would later reuse a lot of images & political tactics from this feature debut in works like The Exterminating Angel) so it's bizarre to me that this work isn't cited more often along with Un Chien Adalou as a significant text.
In addition to being a loose collection of silly non-sequiturs, L'Age d'Or might also be undervalued because it's such a cheaply horny work. The thin narrative that binds its anthology of vignettes concerns a romantic couple among social elites who really want to fuck, but keep getting cockblocked by the wealth class & The Church. The pair lustily make eyes across the room at various social get-togethers until they passionately go at it, right there in public, only to be pulled apart mid-coitus. Even considering the flagrant sexuality of Pre-Code Hollywood films like Baby Face, this animalistic lust feels absolutely scandalous in a 1930s context—something Buñuel gleefully juxtaposes with the rigid social propriety of wealthy social events & religious ceremony. The sexual activity depicted onscreen is far from pornographic, but it is scandalous all the same: fantasies about a woman's stockinged legs, muddy bouts of public exhibitionism, the fellating of fingers & toes, a minutes-long tribute to de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom, etc. These acts themselves doesn't matter as much as the elite's response to them. High society types ignore incongruous, troubling events like the murder of a child, the intrusion of a comically oversized chariot helmed by drunks, and the posthumous decay of Catholic higher-ups who rot on beaches in their finest robes. However, any display of sexual impropriety sends them into a riotous uproar, and they continually tear the two lovers away any chance they find to go at it. It's all the same hypocritical tension between proper manners & animal desires that would continue throughout Buñuel's career. Yet, its arrival at such an early stage of cinema combines with the ramshackle DIY energy of a creator at the beginning of their career to make for something distinctly fascinating.
It's said Buñuel was a new adapter of cinema as a medium around the time of Un Chien Andalou & L'Age d'Or, so it's difficult to pinpoint which aspects of his work were intentional rule-breaking pranks and which were novice mistakes. Buñuel shot L'Age d'Or entirely in-sequence and without cutting any footage in the editing room; all exposed filmstock is included in the final product. One of the earliest French films to use sound, the film features both spoken dialogue & silent film intertitles as if it weren't sure what to do with the technology. Often, the only auditory elements included beyond the music are of sound effects like gun shots & slaps. Sometimes this feels like an uneasy filmmaker not properly using all the tools in their arsenal. Often, however, it plays like just as much of a prank as the film's horned-up plot, especially in the case of a toilet flush sound effect accompanying the image of bubbling water. Buñuel opens L'Age d'Or with a short documentary about scorpions that seemingly has nothing to do with "plot" in any direct, discernible way, but its inclusion feels like an artist who knows exactly what reaction they're intending to evoke. Later, he documents modern Rome with the wildly uneven cinematography of someone who's never held a camera before in their life. In either case, it's a young, defiant personality thumbing their nose at the already-established rules of a still-developing artform, while weaponizing that new artform against the hypocrisy & wealth disparity of an amoral, grotesque society. That throwing-punches-before-figuring-out-the-rules attitude affords L'Age d'Or an infectious DIY punk spirit, even if Buñuel would later better hone his skills in more put-together ruminations on the same topic.
As a lover of both pretentious smut & silly hijinks, I couldn't help but be enamored by L'Age d'Or. The ancient cinematic depictions of gore & fornication fully satisfy my instant-gratification need for pure entertainment value, while the inclusion of Surrealist heavy-hitters like Dali & Max Ernst (who appears in a minor role) as collaborators allows me to pretend I'm watching Important Art. I understand how the prurient subject matter & the extended runtime might keep it from being as standard of a classroom tool as Un Chien Andalou, but you can easily detect its influence on important, artsy-fartsy filmmakers as wide-ranging as David Lynch, Ken Russell, Roy Andersson, Guy Maddin, and Monty Python throughout. That's wonderful to able to say about a series of sketches detailing a romantic couple's thwarted attempts to fuck in public.

Weekly Health Update:
Mental Attitude: High Blood Pressure in Middle Age May Weaken Brain Later. If you let your blood pressure get
too high in midlife, you may pay the price of mental decline when you are older. A study involving nearly 14,000
individuals found that hypertension in those aged 48 to 67 years was tied to a 6.5% drop in mental ability 20 years later.
JAMA Neurology, August 2014
Health Alert: Low Income People with Diabetes More Likely to Lose a Limb. Researchers at the University of
California, Los Angeles, have found that the odds of having a limb amputated are up to ten times greater for diabetics who
live in low-income neighborhoods. The authors of the study note that the majority of these amputations are preventable if
these patients are diagnosed and receive proper medical care sooner. University of California, Los Angeles, August 2014
Diet: Chili Peppers May Reduce Risk of Colorectal Cancer. Capsaicin, the active ingredient found in chili peppers,
may help reduce colorectal cancer risk. An animal study showed that capsaicin activated a pain receptor in mice that
reduced tumor development in the gut and extended the lives of test subjects by more than 30%. Further research is
needed to determine if capsaicin produces similar benefits among humans.
The Journal of Clinical Investigation, August 2014
Exercise: Survival More Likely with Exercise-Related Cardiac Events. According to new research, individuals who
have a cardiac arrest during or shortly after exercise are three times more likely to survive (45% survival rate) compared
with those who have a cardiac arrest that is not related to exercise (15% survival rate). Lead author Dr. Arend Mosterd
writes, "More research is needed to determine why, after taking into account favorable factors such as age, location of the
event and initiation of CPR, persons who exercise during or shortly before having a cardiac arrest still have a better
prognosis than people who have a cardiac arrest that is unrelated to exercise."
European Society of Cardiology, August 2012
Chiropractic: High Satisfaction. Using survey responses from nearly 500 patients from chiropractic clinics throughout
Australia, researchers found that nearly all patients (97.5%) were satisfied with their care and would seek chiropractic
services again in the future. About seven out of ten (68.7%) sought chiropractic care for a musculoskeletal injury and
21.2% did so for general health purposes. Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, May 2014
Wellness/Prevention: Older Women May Benefit from Mammograms. The results of a new study indicate that
women who are age 75 and older may still benefit from routine mammograms; however, not all experts agree with this
finding. Guidelines from organizations such as the United States Preventive Services Task Force claim there isn't enough
evidence on routine mammograms for older women while the American Cancer Society recommends that women
continue to have mammograms annually as long as they remain in good health. The study found that breast cancer
survival was about 10% better in women over 75 years old whose cancer was detected early during a routine mammogram
versus those whose cancer was detected later. Radiology, August 2014

Fossil Discovery Offers Glimpse Into 'Dinosaur-Killer' Impact
By Stephanie Mlot 04.01.2019 :: 9:24AM EDT 04.01.2019
DePalma's team serves up Raiders of the Lost Ark realness (via Richard Barnes/The New Yorker)
New Species of Duck-Billed Dinosaur Identified
Scientists Study Fossilized Bird With Extremely Long Toe
In a scientific first, researchers discovered a detailed snapshot of the moments following the most cataclysmic event in our planet's history.
Digging around North Dakota's Hell Creek Formation, paleontologists unearthed a gold mine of animal and fish fossils—well-preserved creatures killed suddenly by the Chicxulub impactor.
It is widely believed that a celestial body known as the Chicxulub impactor (or, more speculatively, the Chicxulub asteroid) struck Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period, decimating 75 percent of the planet's animal and plant species.
A core sample from Robert DePalma's dig site, which may hold a precise geological transcript of the asteroid strike that almost wiped out life on the planet (via Richard Barnes/The New Yorker)
Flooding, earthquakes, and infernos ravished the globe; tiny beads of natural glass called tektites rained down before dust and soot clouded the atmosphere. The dinosaurs didn't stand a chance.
Gravel-sized tektites showered the dead, covering their bodies and settling into the soil.
Some 66 million years later, as their skeletons are pulled from the ground, scientists are gaining an inside look at what happened when the wandering star hit.
In a paper published today by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, geologist Robert DePalma describes the haul: fossils found in the Hell Creek Formation, which stretches over portions of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
The Tanis site at Hell Creek was already "magnificently significant," according to DePalma, a doctoral student at the University of Kansas (KU). But since his team's discovery, the area has become even more important.
"When we noticed asteroid impact debris within the sediment and a compact layer of KT [Cretaceous-Tertiary] boundary clay resting on top of it from the long-term fallout," DePalma explained, "we realized that this unusual site was right at the KT boundary."
Sure, we've long understood that bad things happened after the impact—most notably, dinosaur extinction and the rise of human beings. But no one has found what study co-author David Burnham called "this kind of smoking-gun evidence," until now.
Robert DePalma may have filled the gap in the fossil record (via Richard Barnes/The New Yorker)
"People have said, 'We get that this blast killed the dinosaurs, but why don't we have dead bodies everywhere?' Well, now we have bodies," Burnham, of the KU Biodiversity Institute, explained, citing several new fish species discovered at Hell Creek. "They're not dinosaurs, but I think those will eventually be found, too."
This ancient encounter—made possible by an international team of paleontologists—provides new details about what is perhaps the most important event to ever affect life on Earth.
"It's difficult not to get choked up and passionate about this topic," DePalma said. "This particular event is tied directly to all of us—to every mammal on Earth, in fact. Because this is essentially where we inherited the planet. Nothing was the same after that impact. It became a planet of mammals rather than a planet of dinosaurs."

Dear Families, *Recycled materials & tape needed!
Winter does go on, doesn't it? We all are feeling rather restless with Cabin Fever these bitter cold days when we can't be outside!
This seems a good time to share with you what I understand about older five year old's growth patterns. As children move towards six, unsettled behavior signals growth and change. Children at this stage are often oppositional. They tend to complain, test authority and limits, and sometimes strike out with temper tantrums. They tend to be physically restless and tire quickly. They tend to print less neatly and with more reversals than earlier in the year. Being consistent about rules and following through with reminders and redirection is really important at this age. ("Yardsticks" by Chip Wood of the Responsive Classroom). Patience/deep breaths, hugs and humor help us all carry on!
Meanwhile, we have been reviewing the letters Bb and Ll and the high frequency words "little" and "is". Kindergartners have been practice reading "Little and Big" with their Gr.1-2 reading buddies and hopefully at home with you too.
We've been talking about penguins and had fun experimenting to see how an adult's feathers are waterproof, unlike the chick's fluffy down. We've learned more about how snowflakes are created, colored our own special snowmen and then wrote "Lost Snowman" descriptions (what color hat, mittens, number of buttons…) so we could find each hidden around the classroom.
We continue with our exploration of Forces and Motion, watching some fascinating videos on how big machines work, creating mazes, constructing ramps and predicting what'd make a ball/car go faster.
We will be having an exciting Four Winds lesson on "Skulls Sleuthing" next Thursday.
We have been experiencing some frustrating computer glitches lately, so Kindergarten Progress Reports will not be ready to send home until next week. Stay warm and well!

Abstract: G70.00265 : Floquet Two-axis Spin-nematic Squeezing
Lin Xin
(Georgia Institute of Technology)
Michael S Chapman
Squeezing, which redistributes the quantum fluctuations between two noncommuting observables while preserving the minimum uncertainty product, has been extensively studied in boson systems. In addition, research in squeezed spin states (SSSs) is a topical area due to its significant applications in high-precision measurement and in quantum information science.The building block of spin squeezing is One-axis twisting (OAT). A two-axis counter-twisting mechanisms (TAT) is introduced as a natural extension of OAT and is shown to further reduce the quantum noise. So far, there are plenty of experiments that realized OAT while TAT haven't been achieved due to the experimental complexity. In this talk, I will present a way to produce TAT in spin-nematic squeezed system by Floquet driving. Periodically microwave and radio frequency pulse sequence can adjust the direction of spin squeezing and thus generates an effective TAT Hamiltonian. By adapting this method, there is no need to change the setup of the apparatus, but instead, changes only the time sequence, improving the current experimental limit of spin squeezing.


Will Resizing a Small Photo Get Me a Higher Resolution?
For example, if a customer gave you a small image that was 500 x 500 at 72dpi and wanted it 4000 x 4000 at 300dpi, then you are going to have a rough conversation with your client! Suffice it to say, it's not going to be pretty, in fact, it probably won't look as good as you want. So what's so different, why is 300 dpi vs 72 dpi such a big issue? 72dpi is a web size resolution while 300dpi is the lowest standard resolution for something like a photo or brochure that is printed.
What is a high-resolution image? A high-resolution image is anything that has at is 300 dpi high resolution with a larger pixel dimension, for example, 5000 x 4000 pixels. If you have an image that is 640 x 40 at 72dpi, you definitely have too small of an image!
To avoid image resizing issue you might consider an XXL stock image from the Stock Photo Secrets Shop instead. Our image subscriptions INCLUDE all image sizes up to XXL size (meaning you can print confidently at A3 size with 300dpi or 6' x 6' with 72dpi).
If you want to use your own photo -try out a software called Blow Up 3 by Alien Skin called, that does a great job enlarging photos.
If you don't know how to increase the resolution of a photo, then we have put together some ways you can try increasing the resolution of your small image. Trying to make a digital image larger often results in quality loss and pixelation. While you cannot typically make the image bigger and maintain the same quality, there are things you can do to achieve a higher resolution image.
The best place to start is to ensure that you are picking a large enough size image from the get-go. Evaluate what size you need prior to purchasing the rights to an image from a stock photo agency.
If you are creating a poster, you will want an image with a dpi of no less than 300 and the dimensions that are big enough for your poster.
If you are using the image for your website, you don't need anything above 72 dpi, but you will still need an image that has the dimensions at or above your needs.
By now you have a better understanding that image resizing isn't some magic alchemy that can easily increase the size of a small photo. So how do you solve this issue if you or your client downloaded too small of an image, or only has a small photo that will look horrible when resized?
Well, you can repurchase a larger version of a stock photo if you or the client bought too small of a photo, or you can use a special software program that may or may not be able to resize your image.
Having an image to begin with that has a big enough resolution is the best recipe for resizing an image effectively and will mean better quality when increasing its size. At the Stock Photo Secrets Shop (https://shop.stockphotosecrets.com/) our stock photo image sizes are big and definitely big enough for you to print confidently at A3 size with 300dpi or 6' x 6' at 72dpi.
A technique that may work for you is to try "stair interpolation." This concept has you increase the size of the image in small increments instead of one big change.
Instead of increasing the size from 100% to 300%, try increasing the image by 10% at a time and repeat this process until you have the size you are looking for. There is also a free program that can help you called IrfanView. Unfortunately, it appears that there is not a version for Mac.
Working with what you've got will require using editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop. One option is to resize the image, not to be confused with resampling. By resizing, you are changing the image print size, but maintaining the pixel dimensions. You will have good image quality, but in turn, you will be sacrificing your print size. If you use resampling, which changes the pixel dimensions, you will have a loss in quality when you resize.
There are other software programs such as Vector Magic, that will take your raster image and convert it to vector. Once an image is converted into a vector, you can resize the image in any way you need, but changing your image into a vector image isn't necessarily a good solution for all of your photos. You may want to start with the free download prior to purchasing the software to see if it is right for you.
You can also try out another program by Alien Skin called Blow Up 3, that does a great job enlarging images and keeping them looking clean looking.
Another option, especially if your client is older and has an original print of the image, might be to have it scanned with a high-quality scanner. By scanning a photo, you will be able to pull out a larger resolution to your computer than the small file. If you don't have a scanner, many pharmacies and office supply stores will do it for a small price.
Good Luck Blowing it Up!
Unfortunately, you may not always get the biggest size image that you need, whether it is from a client you are doing a project for or perhaps a mistake you made when purchasing from a stock photo agency.
Sometimes it might be better to go back to the drawing board and get a large image that will allow you to play with image resizing without affecting its quality. If you are looking for something economical, we have a great deal right now that gives you 200 XXL stock photos , vectors, and fonts for just $99, which will allow you to print confidently at A3 size with 300dpi or 6' x 6' with 72dpi.
While software options are available, it doesn't guarantee you'll get a good enough image without pixelation. Using image-editing programs like Photoshop, or Blow Up 3, and if it's a graphic try using Vector Magic. All of these might work for you, but don't expect them to be higher resolution image size!

Background/Aims Reduced clinical influence on cognitive drop in dementia by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) could be because of concurrent usage of drugs with anticholinergic properties. proportion (prevalence in AChEI users divided with the age-adjusted prevalence in every 65- to 80-year-olds in Norway); CI, self-confidence interval; Advertisements, Anticholinergic Drug Range. Set alongside the general people, the age-adjusted prevalence within this people was about 4 situations as high for antiparkinson medications (PRA6 = 3.7), three times seeing that high for antidepressants and antipsychotics (PRA6 = 2.9 and 2.8, respectively), and doubly high for urologic spasmolytics (PRA6 = 1.9). For anxiolytics, hypnotics/sedatives and analgesics, the prevalence was equivalent in the analysis people as for the overall people (PRA6 = 1.2, 1.2, and 1.1, respectively). There is a solid association between comedication with antipsychotics through the first six months of treatment and duration of treatment (Desk ?(Desk1).1). While 15.3% of these with cure length 12 months were comedicated with antipsychotics, only 6.2% of these with three years of treatment were. A considerably higher proportion of these with 12 months of treatment than of these with three years of treatment experienced at least 82586-52-5 manufacture 1 medication with an Advertisements rating 2 (16.1 vs. 10.9%) and a complete ADS rating 2 (18.4 vs. 12.9%). For antidepressants and anxiolytics/hypnotics and sedatives, there is also a substantial tendency towards shorter treatment with an increased amount of comedication, whereas for urologic spasmolytics, analgesics, and antiparkinson medicines, treatment length had not been connected with comedication through the first six months. The prolonged users with 82586-52-5 manufacture 12 months of treatment had been much like the 4,070 quitters in regards to to comedication. Even more quitters utilized antiparkinson medications (8.6% [7.8C9.5%] vs. 5.9% [4.5C7.6%]) and fewer quitters used antidepressants (26.7% [25.3C28.0%] vs. 31.1% [28.1C34.2%]). For the various other drug classes as well as the Advertisements scores in Desk ?Desk1,1, the self-confidence intervals overlapped. Debate 17,321 users of AChEIs had been registered in the time, including 13,609 brand-new users. Among people that have known treatment duration, the best proportions of comedication had been noticed for sedatives/hypnotics and antidepressants. There is a solid association between comedication with antipsychotics through the first six months of treatment and duration of treatment. Sufferers with a higher Advertisements score more often discontinued treatment than people that have a lower Advertisements score. Concerning general anticholinergic burden, a lot of the anticholinergic medications used were thought to possess a medically significant or solid anticholinergic impact. The occurrence of dementia in Norway is just about 10,000 people each year, including 6,000 with suspected Advertisement . The amount of occurrence AChEI users within the 7-calendar year period was 13,609 people, indicating that medications for slowing drop in cognition is normally uncommon. This can be due to past due diagnosis, a higher proportion of blended dementia or low self-confidence in the healing effect. Pharmacoepidemiological research have got reported that 10C50% of sufferers treated with AChEIs are recommended anticholinergic realtors [14, 15, 16, 17]; inside our study, the effect was about 15%. The discrepancy between your studies could be because of different explanations of anticholinergic medications, aswell as different research populations and prescription patterns. Improved scientific outcome could be expected with minimal anticholinergic burden in recommended medications. The best proportions of comedication had been noticed for anxiolytics, hypnotics/sedatives, and antidepressants. That is consistent with various other studies confirming 82586-52-5 manufacture that pharmacological strategies are often necessary for treatment of BPSD . BPSD and sleeplessness may be area of the dementia symptoms, and sleeplessness is also a bad aftereffect of AChEIs. Nevertheless, the usage of anxiolytics, hypnotics/sedatives, and analgesics was very similar in the analysis people as for the overall people. Pain-related diagnosis provides been shown to become connected with higher usage of psychotropics in people with dementia . Pain-related circumstances may be inappropriately treated with psychotropics, and even more particular and better treatment of discomfort is considered to have an optimistic effect on disposition . The high percentage of comedication with antidepressants (N06A) signifies that depression is normally a major indicator in the dementia symptoms, and that lots of from the antidepressants are well tolerated. Selective serotonin Notch1 reuptake inhibitors are suggested in several suggestions for comorbid unhappiness in sufferers with Advertisement , although proof is bound . Escitalopram and citalopram show superiority over placebo for reducing agitation in sufferers with Advertisement, but the mixture may possess additive unwanted effects since both escitalopram/citalopram and AChEIs may create a long term QT period (time taken between the beginning of the Q influx and the finish from the T influx in the heart's electric routine) . Nausea and diarrhea are normal adverse effects.
The human lactate dehydrogenase isoform A plays a significant role in the anaerobic metabolism of tumour cells and for that reason constitutes a good focus on in the oncology field. , human being LDH has surfaced as a guaranteeing tumor promoting element and a restorative target. Glycolic prices in tumor cells could possibly be elevated by an elevated degree of lactate dehydrogenase isoform A (LDH-A) [2, 3]. Therefore, selective inhibition of LDH-A can arrest ATP creation and promote tumor cell loss of life [4-6]. Another indicate remember is definitely distinguishing between LDH-A and LDH-B (center muscle tissue LDH) that show high structural similarity . Obtainable X-ray constructions of human being LDH-A, aswell as understanding of the energetic site configuration as well as the catalytic system, provide a opportinity for finding and structural marketing of inhibitors. LDH-A is definitely made up of four subunits, each which has an energetic site. Preliminary binding from the coenzyme NADH by subunit 851881-60-2 supplier is definitely accompanied by binding of pyruvate. That is mediated from the Arg168 part string that forms twin hydrogen bonds using the carboxyl band of pyruvate . In the response system hydride ion is definitely used in the carbonyl carbon of pyruvate from NADH and proton is definitely donated towards the carbonyl air from His192. The loop 96-111 is vital for catalysis, shutting over the energetic site of LDH-A following the coenzyme and substrate are destined. Becoming the rate-limiting stage, loop closure mementos hydrogen bond development between pyruvate and Arg105 to stabilize the changeover condition . The framework of human being LDH-A crystallized like a ternary complicated in the current presence of NADH and oxamate (PDB Identification 1i10) demonstrates transition from the loop 96-111 through the available to the shut form might not always occur pursuing substrate NOTCH1 binding . Two from the eight subunits stay in the open up conformation in the asymmetric devices (D and G). A recently available research from the crystal constructions from the apo type and NADH binary complexes of human being LDH-A (PDB Identification 4l4r and 4l4s, respectively) shown the binding of NADH just induces small-scale regional changes informed framework . Despite significant amounts of research in to the structural and physico-chemical properties of LDH-A, just a few classes of LDH-A inhibitors have already been referred to, with 851881-60-2 supplier most substances having low potencies . The research 851881-60-2 supplier substrate-like inhibitor of LDH is definitely oxamate, having a dissociation continuous of 26 M against human being LDH-A . N-substituted oxamates also inhibit different LDH isoforms in the micromolar 851881-60-2 supplier range [13, 14]. Lately, AstraZeneca and ARIAD Pharmaceuticals revealed fresh LDH-A inhibitors: derivatives of malonic and nicotinic acids [15, 16]. These substances had been acquired by linking of molecular fragments identified by the substrate-binding and coenzyme-binding sites. These fragments had been determined using high-throughput testing of compound directories, concerning molecular modeling at particular factors. A crystal framework of human being LDH-A in complicated with probably one of the most effective inhibitors (PDB ID 4ajp) was identified, using the loop 96C111 in the shut conformation. Oddly enough, the effective binding will not need loop transition towards the shut type, since many enzyme-inhibitor complexes of LDH-A had been solved using the loop on view settings [17-19]. Virtual testing and molecular modeling of proteins interactions 851881-60-2 supplier may help out with the recognition of putative inhibitors in huge compound libraries. Nevertheless, such a modeling should look at the mobility from the loop 96C111 that may affect binding effectiveness. The aim of this research was to choose a proper crystal framework of LDH-A, build the full-atom model on its basis, and verify the validity from the model for framework- centered inhibitor testing and style. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Human being LDH-A models have already been constructed predicated on the crystal framework 1i10  using the AmberTools 1.2 and Amber 10 deals (http://ambermd.org) . Hydrogen atoms had been put into the proteins and ligands, and the proteins molecule was solvated inside a Suggestion3P water package with the very least range of 12 A between your solute as well as the package edge (crystallographically solved water molecules had been maintained). Chloride ions had been put into charge neutrality. The power minimization from the acquired program was performed using 2,500 methods from the steepest descent, accompanied by 2,500 methods of conjugate gradient, with positional restraints of 2 kcal/(mol A2) on weighty atoms of proteins and ligands. To spell it out the proteins molecule, the em ff99SB /em push field was used . The guidelines for NADH had been from the AMBER parameter data source ; for oxamate the guidelines of.
The development of a highly effective immune response can help decrease mortality from malaria and its clinical symptoms. caused by . In endemic areas for malaria, particularly where the transmission XI-006 rate is definitely high, as age and exposure increase, subjects tend to become less susceptible to malaria episodes due to the development of an effective immune response against the parasite . The part of antibodies in safety against malaria is definitely well documented, and the passive transfer of antibodies from your serum of immune individuals to sufferers infected with successfully handles blood-stage parasites and decreases the scientific signs of the condition [3, 4]. As a result, the introduction of a vaccine with the capacity of offering security against the bloodstream stages from the malaria XI-006 parasite will significantly decrease the scientific and financial burden of the condition. The bloodstream stage proteins of regarded as the main applicant goals for vaccine advancement include merozoite surface area proteins 1 (MSPC1), Duffy binding proteins (DBP), and apical membrane antigen 1 (AMAC1). After two successive cleavages, just a 19 kDa C-terminal part of MSPC1 (MSPC119) continues to be anchored to the top of merozoites during erythrocyte invasion, which is thought that MSPC119 is normally mixed up in preliminary adhesion of merozoites to erythrocytes . AMAC1 can be an essential membrane protein that's needed for the reorientation of merozoites ahead of erythrocyte invasion . Furthermore, the binding of AMAC1 to rhoptry throat protein (RON2) can be an important part of the forming of the junction complicated during invasion . In [20C27]. Nevertheless, few studies have got assessed the hereditary mechanisms mixed up in creation of antibodies against protein [28C31]. Hence, this research aimed to judge the consequences of one nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes and on the creation of IgG antibodies against candidate vaccine proteins from inside a naturally exposed human population in the Brazilian Amazon. Materials and Methods Study area and population sample The study was carried out in the municipality of Goiansia do Par (0350'33 "S, 4905'49" W), approximately 300 km from the city of Belm, capital of the state of Par, in the Brazilian Amazon region. The climate is definitely XI-006 tropical semi-humid, with an average XI-006 annual temp of 26.3C and average annual rainfall of approximately 2,000 mm3. With this municipality, despite the seasonal rainfall pattern characterized by a dry time of year between June and November and a rainy time of year between December and May, malaria transmission is definitely unstable and happens throughout the year. The annual parasite incidence rates in 2011 and 2012 were 99 and 39 per 1,000 inhabitants, respectively. More than 80% of malaria instances are due to (Primo, unpublished data). Samples were collected in the municipal health center between February 2011 to NOTCH1 August 2012, and 223 individuals infected with with classic symptoms of malaria who wanted the malaria diagnostic services were recruited. In addition, 96 XI-006 uninfected individuals who wanted medical care offered during the study were invited to participate in the study. These participants experienced no close kinship and, consequently, were genetically unrelated, which was evidenced by a demographic questionnaire. Samples from 40 malaria-naive individuals residing in a non-endemic area (S?o Jos do Rio Preto, Brazil) and who also never went to malaria transmission areas were used as controls. Blood sample collection and malaria analysis After applying a questionnaire to assess demographic and epidemiological data, blood was collected in EDTA-containing test tubes, after which plasma samples were separated by centrifugation and stored at C20C..

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to open centre providing dialysis at Rs 500
The Medi-Dialysis Centre has been set up by the Jain society Bhagwan Mahavir Relief Foundation Trust.
New Delhi: In an initiative towards providing help to kidney patients at an affordable price, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday will be inauguarating a facilty in Jasola that will provide treatment for as less as Rs 500.
The centre will be overseen by the Bhagwan Mahavir Relief Foundation and Dr. Hedgewar Memorial Trust. The Trust said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has provided its building at Jasola for the centre.
India has traditionally been 'Hindutvawadi', RSS regards 130 cr population of India as Hindu society: Mohan Bhagwat
Dr. Hedgewar Memorial Trust Vice President Sukhraj told IANS: "With the inspiration of the Sangh, the Jain society has opened this dialysis centre. In comparison to charges for dialysis in hospitals like Max and Apollo (Rs 5,500), it's just Rs 500 here.
Poor patients will get dialysis at a lower rate. There will also be a meditation centre so that the health of patients can also be improved through meditation and yoga practice."
The RSS volunteers are running more than one and a half lakh service projects across the country, and the list of services is gradually increasing.
RSS sources say that in view of the increasing cost of medical treatment, the Sangh is motivating its volunteers to provide cheaper treatment to the poor.
The Trust has a total of 24 trustees, who have worked hard in the last two years to set up this centre.
The centre is equipped with all the modern machines and facilities. The centre will also provide the patients with facilities for yoga, chanting and meditation.
The specialists will be helping the patients and latest technology will be used so that patients are cured and do not need dialysis later.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, Delhi 'sanghchalak' Kulbhushan Ahuja, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari would be present among others at the inauguration ceremony to be held at Jasola from 4 p.m.

The chronic impact of ambient air pollutants on lung function in adults is not fully understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of long-term exposure to ambient air pollution with lung function in adult participants from five cohorts in the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE). Residential exposure to nitrogen oxides (NO2, NOx) and particulate matter (PM) was modelled and traffic indicators were assessed in a standardised manner. The spirometric parameters forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) from 7613 subjects were considered as outcomes. Cohort-specific results were combined using meta-analysis. We did not observe an association of air pollution with longitudinal change in lung function, but we observed that a 10 μg·m(-3) increase in NO2 exposure was associated with lower levels of FEV1 (-14.0 mL, 95% CI -25.8 to -2.1) and FVC (-14.9 mL, 95% CI -28.7 to -1.1). An increase of 10 μg·m(-3) in PM10, but not other PM metrics (PM2.5, coarse fraction of PM, PM absorbance), was associated with a lower level of FEV1 (-44.6 mL, 95% CI -85.4 to -3.8) and FVC (-59.0 mL, 95% CI -112.3 to -5.6). The associations were particularly strong in obese persons. This study adds to the evidence for an adverse association of ambient air pollution with lung function in adults at very low levels in Europe.
