Cytochromes P450 (P450s) are major catalysts in the metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous substrates such as estradiol (E2). It has previously been shown that E2 is predominantly metabolized in humans by CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 with 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-OHE2) the major metabolite. This study examines effects of deployment-related and other chemicals on E2 metabolism by human liver microsomes (HLM) and individual P450 isoforms. Kinetic studies using HLM, CYP3A4, and CYP1A2 showed similar affinities (Km) for E2 with respect to 2-OHE2 production. Vmax and CLint values for HLM are 0.32 nmol/min/mg protein and 7.5 μl/min/mg protein; those for CYP3A4 are 6.9 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 291 μl/min/nmol P450; and those for CYP1A2 are 17.4 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 633 μl/min/nmol P450. Phenotyped HLM use showed that individuals with high levels of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 have the greatest potential to metabolize E2. Preincubation of HLM with a variety of chemicals, including those used in military deployments, resulted in varying levels of inhibition of E2 metabolism. The greatest inhibition was observed with organophosphorus compounds, including chlorpyrifos and fonofos, with up to 80% inhibition for 2-OHE2 production. Carbaryl, a carbamate pesticide, and naphthalene, a jet fuel component, inhibited ca. 40% of E2 metabolism. Preincubation of CYP1A2 with chlorpyrifos, fonofos, carbaryl, or naphthalene resulted in 96, 59, 84, and 87% inhibition of E2 metabolism, respectively. Preincubation of CYP3A4 with chlorpyrifos, fonofos, deltamethrin, or permethrin resulted in 94, 87, 58, and 37% inhibition of E2 metabolism. Chlorpyrifos inhibition of E2 metabolism is shown to be irreversible.

TOKIO performing at this year's SUMMER SONIC, how are they as a rock band? "They have already exceeded the level of idols long ago"
1: 2014/03/21(金) 09:39:31.73 ID:???0
On their 20th anniversary, Johnny's group TOKIO has been invited to participate in this year's SUMMER SONIC festival (August 16, 17 in Chiba and Osaka), as well as the Join Alive festival in Hokkaido on July 19 and 20.
Major foreign acts such as the Arctic Monkeys, Megadeth, and Pixies will be performing at this year's SUMMER SONIC festival. TOKIO will be drawing in the attention, but how good really are they as a band? Music writer Fuyu Shogun writes:
"TOKIO has had a long career as a band, and I think that they have already exceeded the level of [idols holding instruments just because it was the 'in' thing] long ago. Drummer Masahiro Matsuoka has established a reputation for being stable and consistent, especially singer/guitarist Tomoya Nagase, who is also known for being a guitarist with great taste as his gear has even been featured in Guitar Magazine. He has in his possession a lot of vintage guitars from Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, and even has the top-of-the-line 'private stock' models from the brand PRS -- limited edition guitars that real guitar players would kill for, and enough to impress any guitar collector and enthusiast. There's even an anecdote that he placed a personal order to Fender's master builder, the person who creates Eric Clapton's guitars. And what's amazing about him is that he just doesn't keep these guitars for his collection, but actually uses them at concerts. When he plays the guitar, he doesn't lengthen the strap to lower his guitar, but actually plays it pretty high up his body, and actually looks cool doing so. Every time I see him on TV, I'm impressed at how he can play such difficult riffs while singing at the same time. Even Kobukuro's Kentaro Kobuchi-san vouches for Nagase's playing skills, after getting to know him through a vintage guitar shop."
"As for their song pieces, TOKIO have been collaborating with a lot of big-named artists since 2006. Miyuki Nakajima provided them with "Sorafune" in the same year, Yoshihiro Kai gave them the song "Hikari no machi" and "Run free (Swan dance wo kimi to)", while Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi provided them with the song "SEISYuN". They're essentially a rock band who eagerly challenges and incorporates Japanese folk song elements into their sound, which also adds to the "passion" and "manliness" of their songs. If people can just do away with the prejudice that TOKIO is from Johnny's, then I think that they do deserve to be recognized as a band."
This is a huge challenge for TOKIO. It will be very interesting to see how the people will be receiving them among all the other big-named acts at the festival.

TOKIO is forgiven
I want to mosh so hard to TOKIO, but do they have songs you can do that to?
8: 2014/03/21(金) 09:42:36.16 ID:
No assessment of Leader?
14: 2014/03/21(金) 09:44:15.45 ID:
Leader's seriously damn good at singing, right?
17: 2014/03/21(金) 09:45:11.93 ID
Maybe Kokubun's keyboard playing is the only thing of concern
http://mediawatcher.up.seesaa.net/image/E59BBDE58886E5A4AAE4B880E38394E382A2E3838E.JPG
Nagase used to sing stupid idol songs during their debut but practiced GNR songs in private
Now guys, don't ask too much from these DASH Village comedians
Sorafune's the only song I approve of
Perfume and MomoClo were also able to perform there, so this doesn't feel new at all
http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/921voice/17009996.jpeg
There were mixed reactions to MomoClo joining the Ozzfest but it was eventually a success.
I heard that Slipknot's vocalist watched MomoClo's performance and clapped his hands along to the songs.
Yes, their name is TOKIO.
World class band TOKIO should be performing at the Tokyo Olympics' closing ceremony.
"They have already exceeded the level of farmers long ago"
I think I want to watch them if they'll be performing "Love You Only" and "Uwasa no Kiss"
The title looked to me like: "They have already exceeded the age of idols long ago"
There are a lot of horrible vocalists in other Rokinon bands too.
No problem here.
Tsuyoshi Domoto was at a festival last year, but the songs he performed were good.
The songs were funky, and weren't idol-like songs.
http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BUqcbXiCQAErWjf.jpg
Won't they have a concert to mark their return to DASH Village?
I'd approve of them if Nagase comes out wearing his hot pants
http://file.miwawan.blog.shinobi.jp/780391e7.jpeg
Just don't cause trouble to others like the Chil-wotas. (Related post HERE)
But TOKIO's singing and playing isn't as horrible as MisChil so at least that's a plus.
http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~r17953/impre/Other/LIVE/ZZUDO/41.jpg
Nagase, Leader, and Matsuoka are good
Probably better than MisChil
Play using vegetables, like Spike Jonze
I'm teary-eyed because the reactions here are surprisingly kind
TOKIO's always been received well by men from before
I like how people laugh when Leader sings "I get a true love"
http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/mashlife/imgs/0/5/053e4826-s.jpg
I'm guessing that TOKIO will be building the stages, right?
Joshima and Yamaguchi formed the "Joshima band" in the past.
Afterwards, Johnny Kitagawa renamed them to TOKIO BAND, leading to their current name TOKIO.
They're better than TOKIO HOTEL
I don't think there's anyone who thinks of them as idols
There are also a lot of bad-playing professionals.
Poison whom I got to see before was just plain horrible.
It was on the same level as someone who started holding an instrument for half a year.
Aren't they actually top level in Japan when it comes to technical playing ability?
I've never really listened to them that closely, but the drum and bass are pretty much textbook stuff.
I really love the song "Love Love Manhattan".
A classic power pop cut.
Hoping for Akio-san to be invited over as their special guest

104: 2014/03/21(金) 10:03:01.70 ID:
People may bash idol bands, but are regular bands even on a high level?
Kokubun's keyboard is labeled nicely with the guides "Do, re, mi..."
I've never seen Kokubun play the piano before.
If he really can, then he should've actually played it a lot on Tetsuwan DASH.
Didn't he play a streetside live with Leader and Nagase before?
I literally LOL'd so hard when I saw a Joshima thread up on the metal forums in the past
It's still going strong w

(These old-men may play music once in a while, but they look more lively when they carry farming hoes)
I thought Nagase just played the tambourine. And now he's recognized as a guitarist, huh.
They should make lyrics like,
"You left the agency after feeling troubled when Johnny-san excavated you.
It's sad without you,
but I wish you all the best. Sayonara."
I also want to hear TOKIO playing seriously
Of course they're amazing.
They're the most famous farmer band in the world.
http://cfile219.uf.daum.net/image/2241EF365109E423136FFE
It'll probably be much better than last year's MisChil.
Because we had the triple combo of
-Boring songs that are only popular, but you can't get into
-Bad playing
-Grannies occupying the front-most row.
They're like modestly handsome carpenters who just started forming a band for fun www
But that's actually what's good about them.
Will there be those "immovable stone statues" in the front rows again?
I remember laughing when I saw Nagase singing on an unplugged program on NHK because he was actually so good w
Johnny's should only be with other Johnny's talents, in front of Johnny's fans.
Because we have countless foreign and local acts, and there aren't any rock fans who'd even consider buying TOKIO's CDs.
Nagase's got the money so he can buy all those vintage guitars and one-offs, right? wwwww
But he really did look pro when I saw him playing on TV.
And I think that bad singing has also become one of his defining factors.
http://suma-to.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/nagasetomoya_i04.jpg
No one mentioning Leader's superior technique, huh
http://otowota.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/20111224_2187877.jpg
Small children probably think that these guys are actually from the agricultural industry
The fact that they're from Johnny's already excludes them from being assessed due to their skills.
Even if they're good or consistent, they just get dismissed ---"but they're still from Johnny's, right?".
I hate Jani but TOKIO are the good guys of Jani.
I don't hate these guys.
They hold concerts, but can't gather an audience. Their CDs also don't sell well.
That means that their fanbase is different from your regular Johnny's talent.
I want these guys to do their best.

The International Potato Center (CIP) has demonstrated the ability of beta-carotene-rich, orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties to reduce vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and improve food security, but smallholders in Africa have a hard time preserving those nutritious roots, especially in drought-prone areas, where they become scarce soon after the harvest.
In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), sweetpotato roots generally only keep for a few weeks, and OFSP roots are perceived to have especially short shelf lives. This short shelf life reduces the health benefits of OFSP, since it means fresh roots are only available to eat for two or three months of a year. It also reduces marketing opportunities, since most roots are sold during the weeks following the harvest, when prices are normally low due to a glut. And it results in a shortage of planting material at the beginning of each rainy season.
CIP scientists are thus promoting storage in dry sand to help farmers to extend the shelf life of their sweetpotato roots. The technique grew out of the Triple S approach, which uses sand storage to preserve enough sweetpotato roots to plant in irrigated seed beds six-to-eight weeks before seasonal rains start, to produce vines for planting. Researchers noted that people sometimes ate the roots they were storing to produce planting material, which indicated that sand storage can also be used to preserve sweetpotato roots for consumption. This allows people to sell and eat fresh sweetpotato for more months of the year, which makes the crop more attractive and marketable, and enables it to improve the incomes, food security and nutritional status of resource-poor farm families.
Erna Abidin with farmers who successfully tested sand storage of sweetpotato roots in Tampezua, Ghana.
African farmers have tried various methods to extend the shelf life of their sweetpotatoes, which include storing the roots in soil, grass or ash, placing them in storage pits, or simply leaving them in the field and harvesting them piecemeal. However, such storage methods are usually only effective for a month or two, after which root quality declines due to rotting, infestation by pests and physiological deterioration.
Since 2011, scientists from the International Potato Center (CIP) have been conducting research trials on the use of sand storage to improve the shelf life of sweetpotato roots in SSA countries that include Burkina Faso, Malawi and Ghana. The research has been undertaken at field stations and in communities as part of the Jumpstarting Orange-Fleshed Sweetpotato (OFSP) in West Africa project and interventions supported by Irish Aid and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Field trial results indicate OFSP roots can be stored in dry sand for at least 4 months in savanna areas, such as in Ghana and Burkina Faso, and as long as 7 months in the dry highlands of Malawi.
These countries are among others in SSA where rural families are at high risk of malnutrition and food shortages during the dry season. Sand storage techniques have proven effective for preserving OFSP roots for consumption. Tests shown that the b-carotene levels in roots stored in dry sand remain high, at levels similar to freshly harvested roots, which means they continue to be effective at reducing VAD in children, pregnant women, lactating mothers and people living with HIV and AIDS.
Under an ongoing USAID project in Ghana and Burkina Faso, sand storage demo trials were conducted at a rural community level as part of an effort to scale this technology in dry savanna areas. Adult training methods, farmer-managed research and training of trainers were used as key elements of our scaling strategy under this one-year project.
In selected communities, farmers have been trained in the construction of sand storage boxes or stepped pits with a volume of 0.45 m3, which hold an average of 343 roots, and techniques for root selection and sand storage, as well as best agricultural practices to ensure good harvests. At the same time, farmers learn about the health benefits of eating OFSP and are taught ways to process and prepare the root, and incorporate it into the local diet. Farmers are also encouraged to share what they've learned with other farmers, to support the scaling process.
At the beginning, farmers in Ghana and Burkina Faso had their doubts about sand storage, but after seeing the results of 4.5 months of storage, they greatly appreciated the technology. They have subsequently shared their experiences during market awareness campaigns, testifying about what they have learned from the research, which they completed in collaboration with the scientists.
The overall result of 10 sand storage trials was that out of a total of 3,432 OFSP roots, an average of 62% was used for food, 27% were planted to produce vines for planting material, and 21% were thrown away due to rot and damage by diseases and pests. Storage for this length of time using traditional methods, on the other hand, would have resulted in 100% loss. Meanwhile, roots from these sand storage trials ware examined and an average of 58% of the roots used for food were of premium quality for good market prices or making delicious OFSP fries.
When farmers store their sweetpotato roots in sand at the beginning of the five-month dry season, their family enjoys a reliable supply of nutritious OFSP. Taste tests showed that roots that have been stored in sand for 4 months are of an eating quality comparable to fresh harvested roots. And four months after the harvest, the farm-gate price of a 50 kg bag of roots was two to four times higher than during the harvest season.
This is great news for the rural poor in drought-prone areas, because the technology can save them from hunger while improving their vitamin-A consumption and incomes. We are now working with partners on a new project to scale out this method to tens of thousands of households in the coming years.

Matter is Information: On Gene Patents, cDNA, and Spontaneous Generation
by medievalkarlPosted on June 14, 2013 August 16, 2020
by KARL STEEL
Like others, I've been trying to get my head around the recent Duns SCOTUS1 ruling on patentable genes. Here's Tim Morton, and here's me earlier today, where I observe that the "SCOTUS ruling on non-patentable genes relies on precritical distinction between matter and information." I was led to this by the payoff paragraph in Jeff Guo article at The New Republic:
saying that cDNA is patentable but natural DNA isn't misunderstands the central complaint about gene patents, which is that genes are basically information, and information can't be patented. The body has its own code, it's a natural code, and the body naturally manipuates [sic] that code, making copies, edits and deletions all on its own. Genetics is data. The provenance of the molecules that carry that data, whether they are DNA or RNA, whether the DNA version exists naturally or the RNA version exists naturally, is completely irrelevant.
My emphasis. As one says, read the whole thing. It won't take long.
I've been stewing on the indistinction between structure and information on the level of RNA and DNA (for example) at least since April in Tuscaloosa. In some typical ways of thinking things, matter without spirit is inert; and matter needs spirit to inform it. Spirit is information, in other words. The informing makes you you, for example, distinguishing your mere stuff from my mere stuff. In genealogy, this informing is what's passed down from one generation to the next. This is familial information, whether we call this the paternal name or the genetic code.
But if information can't be distinguished from material structure, then we have the tools for a radically nonspiritual, nonpaternal, and nonvital conceptualization of objects in general, living things included. Individuation now isn't something that happens through the application of spirit, or vitality, or writing, or code to matter. It happens with matter itself, through its organization within a roiling field of other matter, in which a perfect description of the information particularizing a particular piece of matter would be nothing less than an exact copy of that piece of matter, and possibly of the larger constantly shifting spatiotemporal order of matter that made that particularization possible.
This is all highly abstract. It could help if I share some of the material from my Tuscaloosa talk that never found its way onto the blog in this form.
Normal life proceeds by what medieval writers called generatio univoca, generation from a single source, cause, or even voice: an ultimately transcendent divine motion. What we call spontaneous generation the medievals tended to call generatio equivoca, generation from an ambiguous source, or without the hierarchy of some singular outside cause.
An example: Aristotle speaks of some insects "not derived from living parentage, but…generated spontaneously: some out of dew falling on leaves…others grow in decaying mud or dung; others in timber, green or dry; some in the hair of animals; some in the flesh of animals; some in excrements: and some from excrement after it has been voided, and some from excrement yet within the living animal."
This is unpaternal life, without, as Aquinas said, any "aspect of generation and sonship." Paternal life transmits information. This information is its lineage or history, which, however inherent it may be to matter, can be separated or abstracted from it as a transmitted or chartable code. We might think of this code as the spiritual principle. Spontaneous generation by contrast springs into swarming life from itself, without any sexual intermediary, without parental transmission, without a singular cause or singular voice, without a quality that can be separated from its temporary affiliations. Its noise is its matter is its motion is its life, all together. This is a life without separable history, without the controlling line of fatherhood, without information or coding, without distinction from its momentary configurations, and without divisions of passive matter from an active principle that gives matter form, and thus outside Aristotelian gendered conceptions of feminine passivity2 and masculine activity.
And later on:
The campaign against [spontaneous generation] has to be understood as something other than that of a modern split from medieval habits, and something other than a war against the persistence of the medieval in the modern. Because we know that life at its origin is abiogenetic, unlife acting upon itself and springing into life. This point was one Darwin himself was making not long before Pasteur was celebrating his victory over Pouchet.
Thus, although we might think of modern origin of life research and the new materialisms as a kind of return of medieval fecund materiality, we should think things otherwise than a line between medieval and modern, superstition and science, not least of all because there's no one medieval attitude about matter. We might draw the line better not between historical eras but between kinds of grammar, per Nietzsche's famous critique of "the metaphysics of language," which, he argues, persists in differentiating between a "doer and doing" and asserting some "will as the cause," or, more simply, classifying things into clear subjects and predicates, between a matter that needs something or someone to make it happen, and matter whose operations cannot be neatly sorted into effect and external cause, object and external subject.. You know how Nietzsche's famous critique ends: "I am afraid that we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar."
Life, or matter, is in its origin ungrammatical, a point I insist on even as I accept some of triumphalist narratives of spontaneous generation's defeat. I'll emphasize that I don't want to obscure the differences between spontaneous generation and origin of life research. Insofar as this medievalist can know, I know that origin of life research (eg and also eg) provides hypothesizes about the development of a paired genetic continuity and openness to adaptation across generations; that it provides irreversible historical narratives of, say, the long rise of DNA out of an RNA world; and that it tends to insist that the time of abiogensis is long over. Spontaneous generation doesn't relegate its processes to the tremendously distant past—or the tremendous speed of chemical interactions. That may be its error. Yet in abiogenesis, in spontaneous generation, and the continued operations of DNA and RNA insofar as I understand them, we do have matter operating on itself to bring something new and surprising into being in ways that meets Jane Bennett's call "to dissipate the onto-theological binaries of life/matter, human/animal, will/determination, and organic/inorganic" (x). In other words, I'll suggest that the somewhat embarrassed response to spontaneous generation in some scholarship (eg) evidences a need to cling to subject/object binaries—evidences, in other words, that it hasn't yet got rid of God or the myth of an infusing spirit, or of the distinctiveness of information from matter—and that spontaneous generation offers a resource both to the still developing work of the new materialists and to critical animal thinkers like me.
Or, for that matter, to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Liz Shollenberger, former Village district leader, dies at 63
September 9, 2019 | Filed under: The Villager,News,Politics,People | Posted by: lincoln
Liz Shollenberger.
Liz Shollenberger, who served as Greenwich Village's female Democratic district leader from 1986 to 1995, was a member of Community Board 2 from 1986 to 1996, and went on to become a City Court judge in White Plains, in Westchester County, died on Sept. 5. She was 63.
Shollenberger died in the hospital from an infection. She had been battling a respiratory illness, and had suffered from various illnesses for more than 15 years.
After graduating from high school in Circleville, Ohio, as co-valedictorian of her class, Shollenberger went on to graduate from Princeton University in 1978 and from Yale Law School in 1981. In early 1982, she landed an apartment on E. Ninth St., between Broadway and University Place. Even before that, she had become active in Village politics.
Following law school, Shollenberger worked for three private law firms in New York City and taught for two years at New York University School of Law (where one of her students was John Kennedy, Jr.) before finding her major career niche as a Legal Services attorney, representing indigent clients in the Bronx and Queens for more than 20 years.
Shollenberger spent the bulk of her legal career as a Legal Services attorney, representing indigent clients, first in the Bronx, where she became the head of the Housing Unit for the South Bronx, and later, of the program providing legal services to the elderly, and then in Queens, where she headed the public-benefits unit. In Housing Court, Shollenberger reveled in being an equalizer, altering the radical imbalance of power that normally exists there between low-income tenants (usually unrepresented) and the attorneys for landlords. Armed with her "Housing Court Spanish" (as she called it), a quickly acquired expertise in the substantive and procedural aspects of housing law, and a cheerful but steely willingness to go to trial in any case where she felt the landlord was not being reasonable, Shollenberger became a force in Bronx Housing Court.
In 2005, she won a landmark housing case in New York's high court, the Court of Appeals, which established that a married woman could maintain a primary residence different from that of her husband. In 2007, she was honored with the Legal Services Award for service to indigent clients.
In 1983, at age 27, Shollenberger became the first president of the Village Reform Democratic Club. In 1986, she was elected in a primary as female Democratic district leader for Greenwich Village, representing a district that encompassed about three-quarters of the 66th Assembly District. Her election ended the Village Independent Democrats' 25-year exclusive hold on the Village district leader posts.
A more politically moderate "pro-Koch" faction, V.R.D.C. members broke away from V.I.D. to form their own club after the latter's endorsing of Mario Cuomo over Koch for governor and disagreements over other issues.
She held that position for nine years, winning two more primary contests and then winning two more terms without opposition. She lost a primary in 1995, ending her tenure as district leader.
Elected at a time of quickly rising crime and what was perceived as a declining "quality of life" in the Village, Shollenberger combined traditional liberal Democratic values on many issues with an emphasis on reclaiming parks and other public spaces from crime and other activities that decreased the ability of many to enjoy those public spaces.
Beginning in 1983 and continuing for more than 20 years after that, Shollenberger operated a free tenant clinic, holding office hours in the rectory at Our Lady of Pompeii Church, on Carmine St., every other Saturday morning for Village tenants in need of legal advice and assistance. She continued to operate the clinic for several years after her 1999 move from the Village to White Plains. Her volunteer activities also included service as a volunteer attorney for Gay Men's Health Crisis, helping to write wills for people with AIDS who were facing death and not financially able to hire an attorney to do that for them.
One of the accomplishments during her tenure as district leader of which she was most proud was the role she played in the initial election to Congress of Representative Jerry Nadler in 1992. She mobilized support for Nadler among members of the Democratic County Committee from the Village at the party meeting that nominated Nadler to replace former Representative Ted Weiss, who had died the day before the 1992 primary.
Shollenberger ran for Civil Court judge in Lower Manhattan's First District in 1996, losing to Paul Feinman by just 24 votes out of 7,300 cast. (Simon is now one of the seven members of the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.)
After moving to White Plains, in 1999, with her husband, Tim James (whom she met at Princeton), Shollenberger immediately got involved with the White Plains Democratic Party. Less than four years later, in 2003, she was elected chairperson of the White Plains Democratic City Committee — a position in which she served for more than 13 years, until her appointment by the White Plains Common Council at the end of 2016 to be a City Court judge. She also served as a member of New York's Democratic State Committee from 2014 until her appointment to the bench.
James, who works as an attorney in New York City, succeeded his wife as chairperson of the White Plains Democratic City Committee.
In addition to her husband, Shollenberger is survived by her mother, Nancy Shollenberger, of Circleville, and her half-sister, Diane Kuipers, of Lebanon, Tennessee.
There will not be a funeral or memorial service for Shollenberger right away. A memorial service for her will be held in White Plains at a time and place to be determined.

When I was a newbie in politics, Liz showed me the ropes. She was my friend and a mentor. She loved evening the odds in housing court as she stood up for the rights of tenants. I am proud to have known her.
Patricia Horan September 10, 2019 - 7:55 pm
We at Westbeth revered Liz. She is a hero if there ever was one. Oh, if there only were more like her. Thank you on behalf of so many, dear Liz.

With John DeFilippo out as Jags OC, would he make sense for Eagles?
By Matt Mullin
Eagles NFL
Kirby Lee/USA TODAY Sports
Former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator John DeFilippo and quarterback Gardner Minshew.
Last week, the Philadelphia Eagles let go of offensive coordinator Mike Groh (and wide receivers coach Carson Walch) just a day after Doug Pederson offered a ringing endorsement of the pair. Now, the Birds are in the market for replacements — and in a way in a race against the other teams with OC vacancies — to fill the top offensive job on the team, aside from Doug Pederson, of course, as he still calls the plays in Philly.
On Monday morning, an interesting name popped up as possible replacement for Groh. As first reported by Ian Rapoport, the Jacksonville Jaguars are parting ways with offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, who spent two years in the Eagles organization as quarterbacks coach before leaving to take the offensive coordinator job in Minnesota following Philly's win in Super Bowl LII.
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Offensive Coordinator John DeFilippo have mutually agreed to part ways.
Head Coach Doug Marrone will begin the offensive coordinator search immediately.
— #DUUUVAL (@Jaguars) January 13, 2020
DeFilippo, a Radnor High graduate, was let go by Minnesota in 2018 after the team's Week 14 loss to the Seahawks, and was hired by the Jaguars last offseason to run their offense, where he was later reunited with former Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. However, after a Foles injury and an up-and-down season for backup and brief rookie sensation Gardner Minshew, Flip is back looking for work.
MORE ON THE EAGLES
Report: Eagles defensive backs coach Cory Undlin to become Lions defensive coordinator
Eagles stay or go: Offensive tackle | Tight end | Wide receiver | Running back | Quarterback
What they're saying: Eagles have money to spend, but may be facing a power struggle
So what makes him a possible replacement for Groh? Well, for starters, there was a thought that he was a candidate for the Eagles job back in 2018 before he took the Vikings gig. He accepted that job before then-offensive coordinator Frank Reich was hired as the Colts head coach, creating the vacancy that was eventually filled by Groh.
Then there's what he was able to do for Wentz during his two seasons as the Eagles QB coach. After a predictably rocky rookie campaign for Wentz, the Birds thought so much of Flip that owner Jeffrey Lurie reportedly blocked him from being interviewed by the Jets. And it worked, because the following season, Flip helped Wentz to his best season to date as a pro before Wentz' season-ending (and career-trajectory altering) knee injury.
During that MVP-caliber campaign, Wentz throw for 33 touchdowns and just seven interceptions while leading the Eagles to an 11-2 start before Nick Foles was forced into action following the injury. From there, DeFilippo helped Reich and Pederson flip the script to better suit Foles, who went on to play the best football of his career in the playoffs and lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl in franchise history.
There are, however, some possible hiccups to DeFilippo returning to the Eagles. For starters, he would have to give up the play-calling control he had in his last two stops.
To return to Philly, DeFilippo would have to be OK with giving up play calling. He may have no choice - unless he wants to take some time off - as there aren't many of those openings left.
Still not sure if Doug Pederson wants to hire someone outside his comfort zone. https://t.co/J0GCkXt9fz
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) January 13, 2020
There's also the other coaches on the Eagles staff who Pederson might feel are up for a promotion, like Duce Staley, rather than bringing in someone from the outside — although an outside voice might be a welcome one at this point, even if Flip already has previous ties to the organization.
Then there's the fact that he was fired from his last two gigs within a year of being hired. Perhaps that's due to Flip struggling as a play caller, which could make the Eagles job enticing to the 41-year-old coaching free agent.
Either way, it would be worth it for the Eagles to take a long look at DeFilippo as they continue to search for their next offensive coordinator.

We have a fantastic show for you today, with the great Albert Elm here to talk. We've know Albert for a bit, but didn't really get to know him until we sat down and had this conversation, and man, it turned out great. He worked for several years for our friend and former guest of the show, Jacob Aue Sobol, while he developed his craft as a photographer, and has since published a book and had his work shown all over. He's a secretive fellow, so we hadn't seen his work until fairly recently, and if you haven't yet either, you are in for a treat. It doesn't come as a surprise that he has been published on a ton of sites and has been named as a talent to look out for by the British Journal of Photography. We had a deep conversation about his work and philosophy of photography, and it's quite relevant for anybody who is thinking about how to define their own art. We also touched on his stint as a sailor, about working for other photographers and the illusion of photography as truth. Join Us.

James Rodriguez would be Arsenal's next best option.
Aaron Ramsey has secured a move for Juventus next season as Arsenal has refused to match the eye-watering £400,000 (net) a week salary that the Old Lady offered. The Gunners have seen enough of the Welshman's importance and, capabilities as the player have spent his remaining time at the Emirates with a lot of dedication and hard work.
It is understandable that many of the Gunners faithful have regretted the decision to let go of their legendary midfielder. Despite Ramsey's imminent departure, Arsenal could find new hopes in James Rodriguez. The Colombian's future is still uncertain and has been heavily linked with the English side.
James Rodriguez will be affordable for Arsenal.
Everybody knows of Arsenal's massive financial power but, the Gunners are always reluctant to spend heavily in the transfer market. They are known by many as a club that will always be looking for a bargain transfer.
Arsenal will not get a single dime from Ramsey's departure because the 28 years old will joins Juventus on a free transfer next season. Hence, James should be the obvious choice for their midfield solution due to his affordable price.
Real Madrid has a known asking price which stands at €42 million for the midfielder and, they could even lower the demand if Bayern Munich do not want to purchase the Colombian.
In today's modern market where Paul Pogba could be sold for €100 million and, Kepa Arrizabalaga has been brought for a record €80 million, James transfer would be a bargain of the season for Arsenal.
Are Arsenal right to let Aaron Ramsey leave?

The field of the psychology of women provides feminist correctives to the theories and research that have omitted, trivialized, and distorted women's experiences to fit into a male-biased structure. Thus, the field of the psychology of women recognizes the inequality of social and institutional power between women and men; makes values of the researcher central to scientific study; studies women's behavior and experiences within social contexts across the life cycle; and advocates for change at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. The field of the psychology of women also encourages individuals to critically analyze all subareas in psychology for their portrayal of women. The psychology of women addresses topics such as gender stereotyping, physical development across the female life cycle, theoretical perspectives on women's personalities and mental health, women's health issues, sexuality, reproductive rights and reproductive health, verbal and nonverbal communications by and about women, women and intimate relationships, career psychology of women, women and leadership, gender, power and violence against women, and equity and social change. The psychology of women also is concerned with intersectionalities among sex, race, class, age, ability, sexual orientation and national origin. Empirical research in the psychology of women is used in policymaking on issues such as work–life integration, day care, violence against women, and child abductions and missing children. Researchers in the field of the psychology of women serve as expert witnesses in court cases on issues such as sexual harassment, race discrimination, child sexual abuse, rape, and intimate partner violence. The field of the psychology of women is also referred to as feminist psychology since the objective of this discipline is to understand the individual within the larger political and social aspects of society.
The field of the psychology of women initially was focused on differences between the sexes with very little attention paid to intersectionality and also diversity because of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disabilities, and age (Bardwick 1972, Sherman 1971, Unger and Denmark 1975). Feminist scholars (e.g., Denmark 1994, Worell 1990) have noted that throughout much of the discipline of psychology, an androcentric view of human behavior has posited that men were the normative population and women were studied in order to determine how they compared with male standards. Theories and research in several subfields of psychology were based on boys and men only, e.g., achievement motivation, mental health, and morality (Weisstein 1971). In addition, gendercentrism has been evident in the discipline of psychology since separate paths of development are suggested for women and men as a result of the biological differences between them. The discipline of psychology has also been ethnocentric; psychological theories assume that development is identical for all individuals across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic class groups (Chisholm and Green 2007). Furthermore, psychology has been heterosexist; theories and research assume that a heterosexual orientation is normative, while gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgendered, or questioning individuals are deviations from the heterosexual norm. The first section of this bibliography introduces textbooks and journals on the psychology of women. Subsequent sections examine topics commonly addressed in the psychology of women: history of the field; research methods; teaching courses in the psychology of women; social development; personality development; physical development and health; sexualities, reproductive rights, and reproductive health; mental health; violence; and career development and work. Attention is paid to presenting sample texts, book chapters, and journal articles that address women's sexual orientations, race, and ethnicity. Classic readings in the psychology of women are presented in addition to more recent research and theories, illustrating the changes in ways the field has evolved since the reemergence of the feminist movement in the early 1970s (Chrisler and Smith 2004). Feminist academicians have claimed feminist principles help them cope with sexism and other forms of discriminatory treatment, noting that feminism is a "life raft" for women (Klonnis, et al. 1987).

Assesses the current field of the psychology of women at the beginning of the feminist movement in psychology. Focus had been on finding differences between the sexes rather than viewing women's experiences in their own right without comparing them to men's experiences. Discusses ambivalence and the socialization of women, the "motive to avoid success," sex differences in intellectual functioning and other topics subsequently reexamined and found to have little empirical support.

Fast-charging can damage electric car batteries in just 25 cycles

Fast-charging of electric batteries can ruin their capacity after just 25 charges, researchers have said, after they ran experiments on batteries used in some popular electric cars.
High temperatures and resistance from fast charging at commercial stations can cause cracks and leaks, said the engineers from the University of California, Riverside.
The team charged one set of discharged lithium-ion batteries using the same industry fast-charging method found at motorway stations.
The researchers also charged a set using a new fast-charging algorithm based on the battery's internal resistance, which interferes with the flow of electrons. The internal resistance of a battery fluctuates according to temperature, charge state, battery age and other factors. High internal resistance can cause problems during charging.
The algorithmic charging method – known as internal resistance charging – is adaptive, learning from the battery by checking its internal resistance during charging. It rests when internal resistance kicks in, to prevent loss of charge capacity.
For the first 13 charging cycles, the battery storage capacities for both charging techniques reportedly remained similar. After that, however, the industry fast-charging technique caused capacity to fade much faster – after 40 charges the batteries only had 60% of their storage capacity.
At 80% capacity, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have reached the end of 'use life' for most purposes. Batteries charged using the industry method reached this point after 25 charging cycles, while batteries charged with internal resistance charging were good for 36 cycles.
"Industrial fast-charging affects the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries adversely because of the increase in the internal resistance of the batteries, which in turn results in heat generation," said doctoral student and co-author Tanner Zerrin.
Even worse effects came after 60 charging cycles using fast industry charging. Electrodes and electrolytes were exposed to the air, increasing the risk of fire or explosion. High temperatures of 60ºC accelerated the damage and the risk.
"Capacity loss, internal chemical and mechanical damage, and the high heat for each battery are major safety concerns," said researcher Mihri Ozkan.
Internal resistance charging reportedly resulted in much lower temperatures and no damage.
"Our alternative, adaptive, fast-charging algorithm reduced capacity fade and eliminated fractures and changes in composition in the commercial battery cells," said researcher Cengiz Ozkan.
The technique could be used to improve safety and lifespan of car batteries.
The researchers have applied for a patent on the algorithm, which could be licensed by battery and car manufacturers. In the meantime, the team recommended minimising the use of commercial fast chargers, recharging before the battery is completely drained, and preventing overcharging.
The research was published in Energy Storage.

Cornelius O'Callaghan, 1st Baron Lismore (7 January 1741 – 12 July 1797), was an Irish politician and peer.

O'Callaghan was the son of Thomas O'Callaghan and Sarah Davis. He served in the Irish House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Fethard, County Tipperary, between 1768 and 1785. On 27 June 1785 he was made Baron Lismore, of Shanbally, in the Peerage of Ireland, and assumed his seat in the Irish House of Lords.

He married Frances Ponsonby, daughter of John Ponsonby and Lady Elizabeth Cavendish, on 13 December 1774. he was succeeded in his title by his eldest son, Cornelius O'Callaghan, who was created Viscount Lismore in 1806. Another son was the British Army officer, Sir Robert O'Callaghan. One of Lord Lismore's daughters, Louisa, married William Cavendish and was the mother of The 7th Duke of Devonshire.

TV News Roundup: 'The Crazy Ones', Kerry Washington, and More
Posted on October 18, 2013 by Lex Luther	Leave a comment
TV's been super active this week and as always, we're here to inform you about it:
CBS (Finally) Renews The Crazy Ones, Mom, and The Millers
It's been less than twenty hours since I declared that The Crazy Ones would be renewed soon…and lo and behold, I come bearing such news today.
I love it when I'm right.
Even though took a huge blow with the cancellation of their freshman comedy We Are Men, CBS has taken a leap of faith and have granted full-season orders to The Crazy Ones (led by Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar), The Millers (led by Will Arnett) and Mom (led by Anna Faris and Chuck Lorre). All three comedies have ranked as most-watched new comedies of the current season.
F*ck yeah! I have actual sh*t to watch on TV now. And yes, I am throwing obvious shade at you, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler released the following statement about the aforementioned pickups:
"We're proud of CBS's leadership position in comedy and excited to build on it with the back nine pick-ups of these three new comedies. These series are creatively distinct, continue to improve each week and are led by strong showrunners, writing and production staffs, and feature amazingly talented casts."
CBS also holds the honor of being the first network to issue pickups for the first new fall comedies. As of right now, ABC and FOX have only issued pickups for the current (and successful) comedies.
Straun Rodgers Joins Game of Thrones as The Bloodraven (possibly)
While Game of Throne fans are awaiting season 4, the show continues to add to its already amazing cast.
Recently, according to Zap2It and Screen Crush, actor Straun Rodger has joined the cast…presumably as the "Three-Eyed Raven". So far, such a character only made an appearance in Bran Stark's (played by Issac Hempstead) dreams. Many are speculating that Rodger may turn out to be Lord Brynden Rivers (aka Bloodraven) closer to the end of Bran's over-arching arc.
However, the character actually doesn't appear (in his entirety) until George R.R. Martin's fifth novel, A Dance With Dragons. Because of this, it may be safe to say that Roger's will make minor appearances in dreams until the latter end of season for and then return for a full role in season 5.
Even Joffrey approves.
Kerry Washinton to Host SNL on November 2; Eminem Will Be the Musical Guest
Unless you've been hiding under a big-ass rock, you're probably aware that SNL has been embroiled in quite the controversy lately for continuing to fail to incorporate women of color in either the main cast or even hosting duties. However, it would seem that the show is attempting to quell some of the outrage by snagging Scandal's Kerry Washington for hosting purposes.
Ain't she grand!? Look at SNL making good decisions.
I'm happy to see that Washington will be hosting and all (she is amazing), but if SNL thinks that this development will end their diversity-related woes, they are sorely mistaken. However, I will say that this is a step in the right direction.
Yeah, try not to do that, SNL.
So what say you? Are you excited that The Crazy Ones finally got its full season order? How excited are you that Straun Rodgers is joining Game of Thrones? What do you say about SNL's diversity-related woes? Let me know in the comments below!

1. There should be alega frame work for loan default.
2. That a committee should be established to monitor investment opportunities of individualist for proper growth and development.
Micro credit schemes end up co-existing with these entrenched structures, serving as a safety not for people exiled and marginalized by them but not transforming them. No Paul not for wits, micro credit I s not the key to ending poverty among the 75 million people in Andhra Pradesh. Dream on.
Perhaps one of the reasons there is such enthusiasm for micro credit in establishment circles these days is that it is a mark based mechanism that has enjoyed some success where other market based programs have crashed. Structural adjustment programs promoting trade liberation deregulation and privatization have bought greater poverty and inequality to most parts of the developing world over the last quarter century, and have made economic stagnation a permanent conditions. Many of the same institutions that pushed and are continuing to push these failed macro programs (sometimes under new labels like party reduction strategy papers"). Like the world Bank, are often the same intuitions pushing micro credit programs viewed broadly micro credit can be seen as the safety not for mivions of people destabilized b the large-scale macro failures engendered by structural adjustment.
There have been gains in poverty reduction in a few places like China, where contrary to the myth, state directed macro policies, not micro credit, have been central to lifting an estimated 120 million Chinese from poverty.
So probably , the best way we can honour Muhammed Vinus is to say yes, he deserves the Nobel price for helping so many women cope with poverty. His boosters discredit this great honor and engage in hyperbolx when they claim he invented a now form of capitalism or a social entrepreneurship that will be the magic bullet to end poverty end promote development.
Micro credit scheme, which is a programe for business support and lending scheme, have some tremendous prospects in the economy as well as some problems. Micro credit which is often an interest free loan for formation and stabilization of self growth have some explicitly objective which ranges from poverty reduction by providing small amount of credit to the poor to generate self employment in income corn activities.
· The non government organization operating Micro credit scheme pool resources and diversity the risk of leading by rending across communities and groups thus, enabling it to provide loan at an affordable priced, Yunus (1996).
In. Nigeria, micro credit program were developed in response to the failure of traditional financial institution such as Agricultural development banks, to serve the credit need of the poor and small rural producers. The comparison of their performance relative source of their strength and weakness and will allow policy makers to Asses the cost effectiveness of affirmation programmes serving different client groups.
• Poverty alleviation Micro credit scheme etc.
Interestingly, some Micro credit scheme in Nigeria operates under government regulations, tike banks whole some do not, micro credit institution must thus be evaluated against the performance of alternative instrument in Nigeria includes: cooperative societies and other financial institutions.
· Financial and economic, if a micro credit program is not cost effective it will require financial subsidies to continue operating. In addition, if the cost of funding for or fending is cheaper than the opportunity cost of these funds, the micro credit program may received both types of subsidiaries and they are both source of concern for its long-run viability.
· Micro credit scheme principally are or two types namely external end internal Micro credit scheme. The scheme in internal when the borrowers are allowed to benefit from the scheme within the micro credit institution. It is external when the beneficiaries or borrowers can some from outside the micro credit institution.
• Micro credit scheme in Nigeria is often affected by some problems, which include borrowers default and other environmental and political problems.
Recently, there has been a grooming establishment of some Micro credit scheme in our different areas and regions, most people benefit from this scheme and at the same time some problems arise both on the part of the beneficiaries and the government or cooperate organization that establish these schemes.
investigate the problems and prospects of the Micro credit scheme in some selected cooperate organization in Imo state.
The following research problems associated with the research study.
> What are the extent of Micro credit scheme establishment in Nigeria?
> Who are really the promoters of Micro credit scheme in Nigeria?
> What are the contributions Micro credit scheme to rural farmers and Food production?
> What are roles of Micro credit scheme in the development of small scale industries?
> How does Micro credit scheme help to provides equality among women in the economy?
This study is determinates to the problems and prospect of Micro credit scheme In some selected cooperative organizations in Imo state.
The study will source for available materials in most research academic libraries within the federal polytechnic Nekede of which the researcher is a student to make necessary update in the research work. This study will also select some know outstanding cooperative organizations and obtained the available data and information regarding this research survey.
More over, this study will provide all reading available data and information on micro credit problems and prospects.
· The time limit, allowed For completion and submission of this research work is limited. Moreover, the time to read for the coming Examination and carry out the research also limits this work.
· The problems of limited funds at the researchers disposal also limits this research, as there is little or no money sometimes to travel to various research end academic work.
· Another outstanding limitation of this research work bureaucratic bottleneck in some of the cooperative organizations used as cease study to give out relevant information about the operational problems and prospects of Micro credit scheme in the establishment also limits the study.
MICRO: Oxford dictionary defines as a little substance or of qualities or value.
business that has interest free loan for formation and stabilization of self growth which increases the productivity by creating employment and developing human capital in the cooperative society.
