Б-ћелије или Б-лимфоцити су главне ћелије хуморалног имунског одговора које настају у костној сржи.

Њихова главна ефекторска функција је секретовање антиген-специфичних антитела. Такође, Б-ћелије луче различите цитокине и презентују антигене, због чега оне спадају у професионалне антиген-презентујуће ћелије (АПЋ).

Развиће

Б-ћелије се диференцирају из матичних ћелија хематопоезе (МЋХ) које се налазе у костној сржи.  МЋХ се најпре диференцирају у мултипотентне прогениторске ћелије (МПП), потом у заједничке лимфоидне ћелије прогениторе (ЗЛП). Затим, њихова диференцијација у Б-ћелије одиграва се кроз неколико стадијума (приказаних десно), од којих је сваки означен обрасцима генске експресије и продукцијом имуноглобулинских Ха ланаца и Ел ланаца реаранжирањем генских лоукса, које потиче од проласка Б-ћелија кроз фазу В(Д)Ј рекомбинације током развића.

Б-ћелије пролазе кроз два стадијума селекције у току њиховог развоја у костној сржи, како би се осигурало њихово адекватно развиће, од којих оба укључују Б-ћелијске рецепторе (БЋР) на плазма мембрани. Позитивна селекција се одиграва кроз антиген-независне сигналне путеве који укључују и пре-БЋР и БЋР. Ако се за ове рецепторе не веже одговарајући лиганд, Б-ћелије не добијају одговарајуће сигнале и престају са развићем. Негативна селекција се дешава приликом везивања за антиген пореклом од ћелије сопственог организма са БЋР-ом; Ако се БЋР снажно веже за сопствени антиген, онда Б-ћелија пролази кроз једну од четири могуће судбине: клонска делеција, рецепторско преуређивање, анергија или имунолошко игнорисање (Б-ћелије игноришу сигнале и настављају развиће). Процес негативне селекције доводи до централне толеранције, у којој зреле Б-ћелије се не везију за антигене сопственог организма у костној сржи.

Како би комплетирали процес развића, незреле Б-ћелије мигрирају из костне сржи у слезину као прелазне Б-ћелије, пролазећи кроз два прелазна стадијума: Т1 и Т2. У току читавог процеса миграције у слезину и након што мигрирају у слезину, оне се сматрају  Т1 Б-ћелијама. У слезини, Т1 Б-ћелије диференцирају се у Т2 Б-ћелије. Т2 Б-ћелије се диференцирају или у фоликуларне (ФО) Б-ћелије или Б-ћелије маргиналне зоне (МЗ), у зависности од сигнала које одбију кроз БЦР и друге рецепторе. Када је окончан процес диференцијације, оне се сматрају зрелим Б-ћелијама или наивним Б-ћелијама.

Disability and Shame Forum Overview
Shame plays a powerful role in social interactions, beliefs, and institutions. Shame and shaming take varied and quite diversely motivated forms. Shame exists as both a cultural and psychological construct, stimuli for and reactions to which are heavily context-dependent. For much of history and across varied cultural contexts, disability provoked shame. Whether understood as the result of personal failings, sins of a family, misapplication of scientific findings, or empirical evidence of an unhappy deity, experiencing disability involved largely unquestioned shaming. During the last decades of the twentieth century, progress much attributed to disability rights movements finally created expanding space between disability and shame.
Yet, shame remains a powerful and often-accepted tool of social control, an incorporated pillar of our social infrastructures along with cultural norms, popular culture, and public policy. For example, in September 2016, Satoshi Uematsu killed 19 patients at a center for disabled people outside Tokyo. In the aftermath, many family members of the deceased declined to speak to the media and asked not to be identified out of shame that others would know that their family members had a disability (Ha & Sieg, 2016). Such a tragic outcome in Japan in response to fear of disgrace signifies a decided need to examine the role of personal and societal shame and how it affects the lives of people with disabilities.
Topics to be Explored (suggested, but not limited to):
Shame, disability, identity
Labelling and shame
Shame and relationships
Shame and dependency/interdependency
Shame and culture
Shame and access to public programs
Historical connection between disability and poverty
Historical shame
Diversity and shame
Intersectional approaches to understanding shame
Reclaiming shame
Shame and employment
Societal and family shame resulting in violence against disabled people

We've had piles of green beans this season, both from Restoration Farm and from our own little beds. This means that sometimes they stay in the fridge longer than we meant them too.
Then, when the season is over, we'll probably buy from the supermarket (ssshhhhhh – not particularly seasonally virtuous, but I am working on it) and they won't have that snappy-sweet farm freshness that we have become used to in late summer. But now I have a new way to make them taste much, much better.
My solution to most greens I need to use up is to saute with garlic, but Cook's Illustrated magazine recently featured a roasted green bean recipe precisely to overcome the aging bean problem.
The roasting idea came as a surprise to me, but they had a perfectly reasonable scientific answer for why it works: the hot, dry heat of the oven breaks down the tough fibers and an enzymatic reaction makes the starches convert back to the sugars of youth. I wish I could stick my own self into a hot, dry oven and get similar results.
But anti-aging fantasies aside, this recipe really does make relatively dull beans into sweet revelations that will have you eating them with your fingers, like sweet potato fries. And best of all, the prep is minimal (and just one month into the school year, I am very much over the prep thing).
My dad's actually came out better-looking than the ones I made a few days later (yes, this bean recipe is addictive), but my shots were awful! Worse than these!
Heat oven to 450°F and place rack in the center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread the beans out on the sheet. Drizzle the oil over and use hands to spread the oil evenly. Sprinkle the salt and again, toss to coat. With the beans in an even layer, roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once about halfway through cooking. Continue roasting until browned in spots and beginning to shrivel. Adjust seasoning, sprinkle with lemon and pepper if inclined, and serve.
I love roasting veggies. This looks amazing.

One dead, two critically injured in Clinton Township crash
CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich (FOX 2) -
The Clinton Township Police Department is investigating a fatal crash that left one person dead and two critically injured.
The three car crash happened around midnight Friday on Harper Ave and Trombley with a total of five people involved.
After an investigation, police revealed that a gray 2014 Chrysler 300 was north bound on Harper Ave near Winners bar and grill.
About the same time, a black 2006 Chrysler 300 was turning left into Winners bar. The 2014 300 struck the back end of the 2006 300 taking its plastic bumper off.
Around the same time a black 2006 Chevy Trailblazer was attempting to make a left hand turn off Trombley to head south bound on Harper.
After striking the 2006 Chrysler 300, the 2014 Chrysler 300 struck the Trailblazer. The 2014 Chrysler 300 and Trailblazer came to rest near the I-94 and Harper south exit, police said.
The 2014 Chrysler 300, was being driven by a Clinton Twp. Resident, and had two other passengers inside.
As a result of the crash, the driver died on scene from his injuries. The rear passenger suffered critical injuries and the front seat passenger did not appear to have been injured.
Both were taken to a local hospital. Neither the driver nor the rear seat passengers were wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.
The driver of the Trailblazer was taken to the hospital where she is in critical condition.
It is unknown at this time if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash. Police are still investigating. If you or someone you know has any information regarding the crash, you are asked to call the police at 586-493-7931.


NORTH CONWAY, NH – Are you looking to help your community hospital gain a better understanding of patient needs? Memorial Hospital is seeking new participants for their Patient & Family Advisory Council. The Council was founded by Dr. Ray Rabideau over ten years ago to serve as a conduit between the public and the Hospital. Its goal is to support Memorial's commitment to meeting the health needs of the Mt. Washington Valley and surrounding communities by serving with our community partners in the provision of accessible, comprehensive, compassionate, and quality health care. In addition, the Council exists to create a consistent atmosphere to build loyalty and trust in the hospital. They also strive to share and learn from others in an effort to expand the voices of patients and families throughout the Mt. Washington Valley. It is a broad based group of individuals that includes patients and family members, business and civic leaders, hospital staff and volunteers, and others with a variety of healthcare issues and experiences. Meetings are once a month and last for 60 minutes.
The Council supports the hospital's Operational Excellence program that was implemented two years ago. Some of the goals of this Program are to increase transparency across the organization, to create a culture that embraces change, drive process improvements, and develop an organization that is equipped to manage change.
This past year Council members have been included in projects such as: providing patient input on Memorial Hospital's new 3-year strategic plan, reviewing the new patient information booklet to better serve the patients and their families with Primary Care serving as the "hub" of patient care, they visited the Suncatcher Gift Shop and shared their insight on what they found and ideas on how to improve the customer experience, they also provided input on a newly redesigned Memorial Hospital website, which is part of the larger MaineHealth site, and they reviewed patient communications for the Imaging Department to help improve their patient experience.
The next Council meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 25, 2017 from 5:00 – 6:00pm in the Sun Room in the Bigelow Building at the hospital. This meeting will be an Open House format and any community members interested in joining the group are invited to come learn more about it. Anyone who has an interest in representing the patient's point of view in healthcare and would like to support their local community hospital's efforts to improve the patient experience are strongly encouraged to attend. Karen Greenlaw, Memorial Hospital Patient Advocate, will be at this meeting explaining what her role is in patient advocacy.
More information can be found on line at http://tinyurl.com/MH-patients. You may also contact Peter Waugh, Volunteer & Communications Coordinator at 603-5461-5461 ext. 2291 or at pwaugh@memorialhospitalnh.org for an appointment.

Asia / Smart Societies / South-Korea
Smart Cities opportunities in South Korea
The long history of Smart Cities in different names
Urban development plans in South Korea in the 20th century were managed by the state and the large private conglomerates which caused growing urban issues which was a global trend towards urbanization. The plans have led to many issues in large cities such as congestion, environmental degradation and poor building standards being exacerbated by the rapid industrialization.
For the last 15 years, the Korean government has tried to cope with urban issues such as high urban density using new technologies. One of the first titles was "U-Cities" where U as Ubiquitous connections. Both central and regional governments see U-cities as a sustainable growth engine in the sectors of construction, e-city (ICT) infrastructure and service solutions. Although it solved minor problems of the urbanization, it was not quite enough since U-cities were more of technology-driven projects. Ever since then, the Korean Government pushed for the sustainable, human-centric urban development under the theme of "SmartCity" or "K-SmartCity".
Testbeds for the smart cities initiatives
Korea dominates the Bloomberg Innovation Index, which scored economies using factors such as R&D spending, number of patents and concentration of high-tech companies. Korea is also the most wired country in the world. The entire population has access to 4G connectivity and local broadband providers are at the forefront of 5G development.
Korea has recently announced a blueprint for the administrative hub of Sejong and the south-eastern port city of Busan to be testbeds for the realization of smart cities. Various innovative technologies, ranging from unmanned vehicles to facial recognition systems, will be adopted in parts of the two urban areas to make them into the world-class smart cities, as said by the Presidential Committee on the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Sejong, a city in central South Korea will utilize unmanned vehicles and Busan will focus on global logistics under the theme of new future life centred on nature, people and technology. The total research funds will be approximately USD 116 million provided by the Korean government for 5 years.
Areas of opportunities for Norwegian companies
Since Korea has launched the Smart City national project, this initiative can help Korea address climate change and reach reduction targets concerning greenhouse gas emissions in terms of the development of cities. Thus, it would be the policy that will help Korea achieve the Paris agreement. This, together with the collected views of experts from industry, academia and research institutes, has led to a national roadmap for Smart Cities development. Although there are many focus areas in Smart Cities, the following are the sectors that represent areas of opportunities for Norwegian companies:
The aim is to build a nationwide charging infrastructure that will allow electric vehicles to be charged anywhere. A vehicle-to-grid system is also planned, which will charge batteries of electric vehicles during off-peak times and resell surplus electricity during peak times. Also, autonomous vehicles, trucks and ships are in the actual testing phase in Korea.
Smart Energy & Power Grid
Innovation in interconnections between consumption and supply sources is the goal here. This will allow for new business models to arise and improve power grid malfunction and automatic recovery systems to ensure a reliable and high-quality power supply. The Korean government plans to increase the share of new and renewable energy in the entire primary energy to 11.0% (13.4% of the total electric power) by 2035.
Energy self-sufficiency of houses, buildings and villages is the ultimate goal. The aim is to build smart renewable energy power management complexes across the nation by rolling out microgrids and deploying small-scale renewable energy generation units for every end-user.
Smart Hospitals
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) is one example of a next frontier healthcare system. SNUBH recovers USD 275 million in revenue per year. It operates with a force of 515 physicians, 780 nurses and 640 staff. Since 2003, SNUBH has been acting as South Korea's national medical research hospital.
Korea ranked first in the UN e-Government Survey for three consecutive terms. The Korean gov-ernment has worked for decades to build and improve its e-government systems, launching inno-vative e-public services such as e-procurement system and 24-hour public service portal. As a re-sult, most of the public services are delivered online now, making the Korean government ever more transparent.
Construction of Testbeds for Smart Cities
The Governmental Smart Cities Committee has been inaugurated and the actual cities for Testbeds were announced as Sejong and Busan, and the existing Smart cities such as Songdo, Sungnam, Kimpo, and Goyang are continuously looking for a new technology partner to make the city smarter at a local governmental level.
We see that one of the promising areas for Norwegian companies in Korea is the Smart Transportation area, especially on the Smart Sensors related to Transportation and Weather due to the needs of current obstacles that Korea has faced. Other areas for Norwegian companies are the Smart Ship area since Norway is a world-leading maritime nation and is at the forefront of sustainable technology development, as well as the Renewable Energy and Construction sectors.

Ravenous/Netflix
The scariest movies in Netflix's original horror collection
Plan your next fright night.
Austin Powell
Posted on Oct 1, 2018 Updated on May 21, 2021, 5:17 am CDT
Netflix has the scariest selection of horror movies to stream this side of Shudder. What you might not have released is just how many of those releases are actually original productions. From zombie movies (Cargo) and nail-biting thrillers (Hush) to Stephen King adaptions and international flicks (The Ravenous, Train to Busan), the Netflix original horror collection offers plenty of frights.
We've compiled the complete collection of Netflix original horror below. Each title links out to our full-length review (where applicable), so you can get a better idea of what to expect before adding it to your queue. Just don't blame us when you can't sleep at night.
Netflix original horror: The best movies to watch
1) Gerald's Game
It's the year of the Stephen King adaptation, and Gerald's Game might be the best one. Mike Flanagan (Hush, Oculus) takes a novel that has long been considered unfilmable and imbues it with tension and emotion. Carla Gugino gives a standout performance as Jessie, a woman who is left handcuffed to a bed in a remote cabin after her husband Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) dies unexpectedly. The bulk of the film concerns her survival and how deep into the past she can go, and it actually improves upon the novel. —Audra Schroeder
2) The Ravenous
The Ravenous is a French-Canadian zombie thriller with an intriguing twist: the zombies react to sound. The survivors must stay as quiet as possible to survive, leading to a terrifyingly tense atmosphere. While it's a rather obscure low-budget indie, it's surely the most interesting zombie movie of 2017. —Gavia Baker-Whitelaw
UHM - Upcoming Horror Movies/YouTube
This South Korean smash hit broke audience records with over 10 million theatergoers during its theatrical run. Right as a train is departing a woman boards, nursing a bite wound on her leg. Soon she becomes a zombie, leaving hundreds of passengers trapped in the speeding vehicle as reports of a worldwide outbreak begin to spread. Exploring class issues between terrifying, and gory, set pieces, Train to Busan is one of the best zombie movies of the last decade. Buckle in, and don't be surprised if it makes you feel something by the end. —John-Michael Bond

4) Hush
Hush is an hourlong cuticle-ripper. The 2016 film centers on Maddie (Kate Siegel, who co-wrote the screenplay), a deaf and mute author who lives in a secluded cabin in the woods. And there's a killer on the loose, wearing a creepy white mask. This premise might sound awfully well-tread, but Hush upends the typical home-invasion thriller by letting us see the threat (The Newsroom's John Gallagher Jr.) unmasked, forcing the tension to build as Maddie finds different ways to thwart his murderous advances. By immersing us in Maddie's silent world, the tension is even more palpable, and the fact that she's a writer of fiction allows the film to expand in some inventive directions, even as her fate remains unsure. —Audra Schroeder
Movieclips Film Festivals & Indie Films/YouTube
5) 1922
There's yet another Stephen King adaptation landing on Netflix, and this one involves rats and murder. In Zak Hilditch's take, Thomas Jane plays Wilfred James, a Nebraska farmer who has a crisis of conscience when wife Arlette (Molly Parker) says she wants to move to the city and take their teenage son. What follows is a signature King ghost story but it expands in Jane's dead-eyed portrayal of Wilfred. Mike Patton provides the anxiety-inducing soundtrack, and it couldn't have been a better choice. —Audra Schroeder
6) Cargo
In Cargo, the zombie apocalypse is intimate, compelling and showcases the best and worst of humanity in the Australian Outback. And for one father (Martin Freeman), the stakes have never been higher as he only has only 48 hours to find someone to take care of his young daughter before he turns into one of the undead. —Michelle Jaworski
7) Little Evil
Evil comes home to roost in Eli Craig's horror-comedy Little Evil, which follows a stepdad (played by Adam Scott) and his complicated relationship with his stepson, who happens to be the Antichrist. Fun times. I don't mean that sarcastically. Despite a few tense moments, the movie is more comedy than horror. Craig takes a tired premise and injects life (and plenty of jokes) into it. Aside from Scott, the pitch-perfect cast also includes Evangeline Lilly, Bridget Everett, Donald Faison, and Chris D'Elia. —Eddie Strait
8) Before I Wake
Before I Wake is easy to recommend on pedigree alone. It's written and directed by Mike Flanagan, who's responsible for two of the best Netflix original horror movies, Hush and Gerald's Game. A supernatural thriller, Before I Wake stars Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) and Thomas Jane (HBO's Hung) as grieving parents who foster a young boy (Jacob Tremblay) with a strange aversion to sleep. When the couple discovers what's actually happening in his dreams, that's when things go from bad to worse.
9) The Ritual
This indie flick stars Rafe Spall (Life of Pi, Hot Fuzz), Robert James-Collier (Downton Abbey), Arsher Ali, and Sam Troughton as four friends on a lads' holiday hiking in Sweden after a recent tragedy. As you might've already guessed given that this is a horror movie, the trip does not go as planned. One of the men hurts his foot, sending them off the main trail and onto a shortcut through the woods. The third feature from director David Bruckner, the film is essentially a mythological riff on Deliverance. —Chris Osterndorf

Race and Place: Mapping the Demography of Faulkner's Fictions
Johannes Burgers
The Digital Yoknapatawpha database is a highly curated data set that represents "all" of the locations, characters, and events in Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha fictions. This data can be mapped to gain insight into the interactions between different types of characters across the varied spaces of the narratives. These interactions represent a kind of demographic map. This is not a traditional demography. There are, of course, no census records, voting rolls, or cadastral surveys of Yoknapatawpha that demographers can use to paint a picture of the population. There are, however, a number of data points that can act as proxies for understanding the relationship between characters and locations across the corpus. The most intuitive way to display this information is through maps commonly used for population analysis: choropleths and population density "heatmaps." Needless to say, translating information about a fictional text into data that is intelligible to a Geographic Information System (GIS) is involved and imperfect. Nevertheless, the resulting maps are highly suggestive of the deep connections Faulkner made between people and places. The following interactive commentary documents how the DY data was used to create heatmaps and choropleths of Yoknapatawpha's racial composition, how to read them, what they might mean, and, finally, their limitations.1
Understanding the Data
The data in DY is split across three tables: locations, characters, and, events. Locations and characters denote places and people who are either present or mentioned in the text. Events are the conjunction of locations and characters, and represent one continuous action at one location by an individual character or multiple characters during one discrete period of time. Iterating characters over events by location generates a frequency distribution of the different types of characters that appear at specific locations. Computationally, joining and iterating the various tables is a simple procedure; deciding what characters are represented at a particular location on a demographic map is a far more vexing philosophical question.
Character Data
At its most basic level, demographic mapping relies on counting the absence and presence of particular kinds of people within a specific space, such as: births by country, senior citizen road accident deaths by state, or female votes cast by district. Creating a demographic map of a fictional world is challenging precisely because characters are not people. Indeed, narratologists have wrestled with the nature of character ontology for some time.2 For the purpose of mapping characters, there were three significant issues that required imperfect editorial solutions that sliced off about 20% of the data.
Present vs. Mentioned - All of the characters on the maps are only those that are present at the event, and excludes those who are mentioned, even if the mentioned characters might play a significant role in the narrative.
Individual [ ] vs. Group [ ] - There is no consistent way to account for non-countable collectives like "crowds," "men of Jefferson," or "a couple." All groups were eliminated from the count.
Singular [ ] vs. Plural identities [ ] - In some cases where characters reappear in different texts, Faulkner revises their racial identity. Rather than consolidating them into singular characters, they were left as plural identities.
Another important consideration is the placement and consolidation of locations on an aggregate map. There are 68 individual maps in DY, each custom-made for a particular text. Some of the texts include locations that are either inside or outside of Yoknapatawpha, but feature a large number of events. To solve this problem, the team created custom insets. The benefit of this approach is that it provides a far more granular view into the world of Yoknapatawpha. The drawback is that map insets overlap when consolidating the maps. Case in point, the short story "Ad Astra," and the novels, Sanctuary and The Sound and the Fury, all have insets in the northeast quadrant of the map, but they signify places as far apart as the Western Front, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Oxford, Mississippi. Figures 1-3 show the placement of these insets across the various maps.
Figure 1: "Ad Astra"
Figure 2: Sanctuary
Figure 3: The Sound and the Fury
To rectify this problem, all of the locations outside of Yoknapatawpha were remapped either onto the "region," "nation," or "world" maps. The insets that provide a more detailed view of places within Yoknapatawpha, as for example the Compson place in The Sound and the Fury, were consolidated into one location on the main map. These translations sacrifice some of the detail of the individual maps, but this makes a negligible difference when trying to capture population distributions at scale.
A more intractable issue is that locations in fiction do not exist independently of the events that occur there. With a demographic map, the statistics describe a specific space, but those statistics do not have an effect on the position and boundaries of locations. Put crudely, the map exists before the statistics. What's more, in the real world, natural and man-made features like rivers and roads do not tend to change dramatically over a short span of time. Yet, space in Faulkner's texts does not necessarily abide by these physical rules. For one, the maps do not precede the narratives. Faulkner's did not draw a map of Yoknapatawpha and then plot characters onto it. More importantly, each text shapes its locations, as much as it is shaped by them. The DY team has attempted to honor this creative vision by treating each text as its own world with its own map. The result is that some places might be in several different positions on the total consolidated map. Likewise, the landscape and the man-made features of the map can also change, thereby placing each location in a new context.
The interactive display below was designed to demonstrate how landscape, infrastructure, and location all interact with one another within and across texts. The display allows users to toggle between the maps of different texts: "The Old People," "A Justice," and Go Down, Moses. One thing that these texts share is that they all include the blacksmith shop where Sam Fathers works. This location is indicated by the different colored icons. The icons for "The Old People" and "A Justice" are close together, and at some remove from the blacksmith on the McCaslin plantation. Superficially, it would appear the blacksmiths for "The Old People" and "A Justice" are more similar to each other than that of Go Down, Moses. A careful comparison of the landscape and infrastructure surrounding all three locations reveals that conceptually the blacksmith in "The Old People" and Go Down, Moses share some important similarities that set them apart from the one in "A Justice." In "A Justice" the river close to the blacksmith is a tributary of the larger river to the south, in the "Old People" the tributary is connected to the river in the north. In Go Down, Moses the blacksmith is still by a tributary from the north, but it runs farther east than the one in the "Old People." The infrastructure also changes. In "A Justice" the blacksmith is along the only road mentioned that leads to town. In Go Down, Moses and "The Old People" the blacksmith is on an extensive network of roads. Its connection to the wider world is quite different than the blacksmith in "A Justice." In each case, the location and the way it interacts with the surrounding is different. There is no way to determine the "true" position of a location, because it can only be established in the context of the text and in relation to the surrounding landscape and infrastructure.

The map overlays above show how locations can shift from story to story. Beyond changes in their position, Faulkner is also very nuanced about changing the context of each place. In "A Justice" the blacksmith shop is relatively isolated, and adjacent to the only road to town. Meanwhile, in Go Down, Moses the shop is one location connected to the wider world via a network of roads.
These shifts between maps would create quite a number of challenges if this were a traditional demographic study. For example, one of the most common ways to study populations is by counting the people who live at a particular residence, but if, as is the case in DY, the place of residence has multiple possible locations, it would be difficult to determine the number of people living in these residences without knowing the "primary" residence, so to speak. Using the DY data it is possible to side-step this hurdle, because a far more powerful piece of information is available: event data. Event data indicates where characters are and when. Thus, rather than only having the home addresses of characters, DY has the equivalent of their GPS data on their phone, and can track them throughout Yoknapatawpha. Doing this for all of the characters and breaking them down by a particular attribute, in this case race, indicates which types of characters are in the different areas of the map. Importantly, this type of analysis works well across larger areas, but breaks down at the level of individual locations. If, for instance, we wanted to know what kinds of people show up at Sam Fathers' blacksmith shop, we would have to consolidate the three individual locations into one shop and put it somewhere on the map. As none of the three shops is the "true" shop, the resulting map would show the number of people at an arbitrarily chosen location, which is not very useful for analysis.
Literary Cartography and Demographic Maps
In demographic mapping, there are two common types of maps: choropleths and heatmaps. Choropleths aggregate the features within a predefined area such as a country, state, or county. Heatmaps show the frequency of a feature across an area. Both types of maps tell different stories. In choropleths, the data is shaped by the area. They are good at demonstrating differences between areas, such as state voting results. In heatmaps, the area is generated by the data, and highlights differences across space, such as the rate of infection of a disease. The possibility of creating either map is in some measure dependent on the data available. The DY data, which captures where characters are interacting and when, is well-suited to heatmaps. With some modification and recoding, the data can also be represented as a choropleth.
In mapping, a heatmap layer is created through a density function that produces features on a color gradient and a pre-defined scaled radius based on the frequency of the variable. In lay terms, this means that as more characters are in one space the color gets darker and the area covered gets larger. Without getting into the technical details, the parameters for the interactive map below were set so each heatmap layer was on the same scale and registered any location where more than one character occurred. The reason for ignoring locations where only one character ever occurs is that this leads to stippling across the map, which is visually distorting and actually gives these locations more importance than they merit.
Racial interaction and conflict are two of the most predominant features of Faulkner's fiction. These heatmaps focus on the racial distribution of Faulkner's world, though class, gender, family, and vitality are all different ways to think of demography in DY. In the database, there are eight distinct racial attributes a character can have.3 Mapping all of these on a heatmap with different colors would be visually overwhelming, and therefore all characters who were not coded as "white" [ ], "black", [ ] or "Indian" [ ] were recoded as having "mixed ancestry" [ ]. This also includes characters whose race is indeterminable, such as Joe Christmas. These four layers were then overlaid with each other to show possible interactions between characters in space. The interactive map below allows users to add and subtract layers to see where the different groups interact with one another.
Interactivity: Heatmap Layer Comparison
Check and uncheck the legend entries to show and hide the different heatmap layers.
The above map shows the racial distribution of the four major categories in the fiction. What is noticeable is the cluster of white characters in Frenchman's Bend, and the more diverse interactions between characters in the northeast and northwest of the map.
What is immediately noticeable on the map is that the different places in Yoknapatawpha have a different racial composition. Directly north of the town are the spaces occupied by the "Indians," and, accordingly, they are the site of the most Native American activity. Meanwhile, the areas to the northwest and the northeast of town have more characters of mixed ancestry. These two corners of the map are the sites of two novels that deal extensively with race: Absalom, Absalom! and Go Down, Moses. It is tempting to suggest that part of the reason why more mixed ancestry characters appear here is because the Sutpen and McCaslin plantations are more isolated from town, and the sexual exploitation that led to mixed ancestry children was less likely to be met with public opprobrium. Another reason why the character types are comparatively more diverse in the northwest is because of the hunting grounds of the Big Bottom, Sutpen's former plantation. This is where men from different backgrounds come together to engage in the ritual of the hunt in Go Down, Moses.
At the locations closer to town, there are relatively fewer characters outside of the white and black binary. The Sartoris and Compson places both maintain strictly segregated households with very few mixed ancestry characters appearing at these locations. Likewise, the town of Jefferson may see some interaction between white and non-white characters, but the majority of the people who appear here are white. This trend is even more pronounced in Frenchman's Bend, where the majority of the population is white.
Animated Heatmaps
While the above map provides a reasonable overview, it is also distorting because it flattens out time. DY captures time in Faulkner in multiple ways, the most salient of which are narrative time and publication date. The events in the fiction stretch from Genesis to 1980 in narrative time, though the history of Yoknapatawpha effectively begins in the later 18th century. Simultaneously, the data also represents thirty years of writing. The animation of either variable will result in the same map as above, but the way it arrives there is different. The chronology animation was created by sequencing all events by date order from 1776 to 1961 (note the date at the bottom right corner of the display). The resulting animation is additive. With each new data point that appears the heatmaps for each race will continue to grow. As all the events in each text are sequenced according to narrative time, it disregards when the text was written. By collapsing the publication date, it is possible to see how Faulkner consistently mapped different kinds of characters in different types of places, and how the action in these places is bound by narrative time.
Animation: Chronological Heatmap by Race
The animation tells the story of Yoknapatawpha as the county develops from north to south. The Native American events are the first to appear north of the still non-existent town at the end of the 18th century. At about the same time, there is a smattering of activity at the McCaslin place in the northeast of the county. Then the other great northern plantation, Sutpen's hundred, becomes a hive of activity, followed by the events that transpire at the Sartoris plantation during the Civil War. At the turn of the nineteenth century, the contours of Jefferson and the hamlet of Frenchman's Bend become more visible. It is not until the early twentieth century that the Compson estate comes into focus. More of the action also stretches to the largely white, agrarian hamlet in the southeast. By the end of the First World War, many of the spaces of Yoknapatawpha have already been traversed, and the county gradually becomes more diverse in terms of the types of characters who appear, notably those of mixed ancestry. A reverse trend takes place after the Second World War when the predominant characters in events are white, and the narratives shift their attention to Frenchman's Bend. Throughout the twentieth century, the narratives also travel to places farther and farther away from Yoknapatawpha. There is more activity west of the Mississippi and there are events that take place on several different continents. On the whole, the animation underscores the fact that the spaces of Faulkner's map had different imaginative valences.
The data can also be displayed by publication date. To make this animation, several different techniques were used. First, the texts were ordered by their publication date. In the sequence, the racial heatmaps for each text "blossom" out of the map. Below this blossom layer is an additive layer that expands as more texts in the publication sequence are added to the map. In this way, it is possible to keep track of racial heatmaps of a specific text in relation to the spaces Faulkner has already described in previous texts.
Animation: Publication Heatmap by Race
The publication map tells a similar story to the chronological heatmap. Here, it is not so much chronological time in the narrative that corresponds to an increase of mixed ancestry characters, but publication date. The map gets notably more populated with mixed ancestry characters later in Faulkner's career. This is particularly true of texts like Absalom, Absalom!, Go Down, Moses, and The Reivers. On the whole though, there are a non-trivial number of texts that feature white characters almost exclusively. The Snopes trilogy especially stands out, and there are very few non-white characters who are present at the events in Frenchman's Bend. Nevertheless, the stark contrast between the racial maps of texts like Go Down, Moses and The Snopes trilogy should not be seen as an easy short-hand to understanding race in these novels. Instead, they are suggestive of how of Faulkner imaginatively connected different types of people with different types of places.
Heatmaps are a useful tool for understanding the relative density difference across areas of the map. The problem is that it is very hard to determine the orders of magnitude. It is clear that Jefferson has more activity, but there is no way to quantify this activity other than the darker shades of the respective colors. One way to quantify differences between areas of a map is through a choropleth.
Making a Choropleth
Figure 4: Modified choropleth showing the racial distribution by area using pie charts.
Figure 5: Statistical breakdown of the racial distribution by area.
As previously noted, choropleths show the relative distribution of features within a specific area. There are two challenges for creating such a map with the DY data. First, Faulkner did not have predefined administrative areas on his own maps. True, he does describe different "beats," but the boundaries of these "beats" are not defined in a way that is useful for mapping. Second, a more general problem with choropleths is that it is hard to show population distributions for several variables if there is one predominant group. In the case of DY, the number of white characters overshadows the rest of the population, and mapping the characters by race in a choropleth results in any non-white characters barely registering on the map. One way to circumvent both of these issues is to manually create administrative areas based on thematic connections, and then render the statistics for each area as a chart. This is a visually cruder method, but provides more detailed insight into the areas. All eight race types can be represented, and it is easier to visually distinguish relative proportions. The drawback is that there is no way to animate this layer without causing a highly disjunctive experience for the viewer. The effect would be one where thirteen pie charts simultaneously change their relative proportions over time!
The choropleth (figure 4) bears out in more granular detail what the above heatmaps already showed more intuitively. The predominant group in Yoknapatawpha is white. The more north Faulkner's imagination travels, the higher the possibility of different types of characters increases. The more densely populated centers such as Jefferson and Frenchman's Bend appear to offer a check on any type of transgression of Jim Crow social codes and laws. In similar fashion, the wider world also has fewer non-white characters. The curious exception is the breakdown at the regional scale. This is actually one of the more diverse areas of the fiction. In particular, Memphis, which often acts as a transgressive antipode to Jefferson's strict social codes, has people from different racial categories interacting with one another. The statistics for each chart are also available in figure 5.
Cautions and Conclusions
Heatmaps and choropleths are incredibly powerful tools to describe space at scale. Their power can also have a distorting effect. Few elections are complete without cartographers reminding the public and pundits that just because a district, county, state, or country voted in a particular way, does not mean everyone in that space monolithically shares those beliefs. Much the same, viewing spatialized aggregations of DY data reveals the contours of life in Faulkner's fiction, but simultaneously obscures an individual character's experience. Fiction, after all, does not operate on the level of the general, but lives in the particular. These maps are best viewed as the context in which Faulkner's fiction transpires. They cannot begin to describe the nuanced, complex, and sometimes explosive, inter-racial interactions that mark so much of his writing. Nonetheless, they give a sense as to why those events play out the way they do in one place versus another.
The maps also provide a larger insight into the world of the Jim Crow South. The legal apartheid regime that was in place in the South before the Civil Rights movement was uniformly dehumanizing to non-whites, but - based on Faulkner's telling - this dehumanization was not uniformly experienced. Race also had a spatial component. The areas with the highest population density, Jefferson and Frenchman's Bend, are more segregated and whiter than the more sparsely populated, rural areas around Sutpen, McCaslin, and the Chickasaw lands. It is no coincidence that two of these locations are also the sites of former plantations. As a moderate white desegregationist, Faulkner believed that the South's original sin of slavery could only be expatiated by the Southern community coming together through the mutual recognition of a shared history as it does in Go Down, Moses. In this sense, Yoknapatawpha's uneven demography hints at a possible future demographic mosaic that is always yet to come, even if Faulkner himself might have been unclear on how to get there.
These maps are most powerful when they are deployed with other research methodologies and brought to bear on a specific research question. The recently published paper, Familial Places in Jim Crow Spaces: Kinship, Demography, and the Color Line in William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County explores the relationship between kinship, race, and space in Faulkner using different computational approaches including mapping.

Read for yourself.
A new Yale research survey reveals a significant shift in public attitudes toward the environment and global warming. Fully 83 percent of Americans now say global warming is a "serious" problem, up from 70 percent in 2004. More Americans than ever say they have serious concerns about environmental threats, such as toxic soil and water (92 percent, up from 85 percent in 2004), deforestation (89 percent, up from 78 percent), air pollution (93 percent, up from 87 percent) and the extinction of wildlife (83 percent, up from 72 percent in 2005).
Huh. What about that survey from 2004?
On the eve of the release of the much-anticipated movie, The Day After Tomorrow, the global warming disaster movie, a national poll undertaken at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies indicates that 70% of Americans believe global warming is a very serious or somewhat serious problem, while just 20% of Americans believe global warming does not represent a serious issue.
Day After Tomorrow, huh?
I'd like to see a poll on whether something else is a serious problem. I'd like to see a poll on how many Americans believe a lot of other Americans are freakin' raging idiots.
In fact, I'd like to see a poll on the problem I've identified that really irritates me. Here's the problem. People are presented with a premise A. A is proven by B. Global Warming is proven by "Day After Tomorrow," or President Bush called the Constitution "a goddamned piece of paper" because some crappy tabloid says he said it. In cases like this, B is widely acknowledged to be bullshit. Even people who desperately want to believe A, understand B is bullshit.
And yet, they believe in A more fervently with B, than without B.
Stating the reasons why they believe A, they cite B, which they know to be bullshit.
I do not mean to imply !A just because B is bullshit. A could still be true. But this trend lately of reinforcing assumptions that may or may not be true, based on pieces of evidence known to be rancid crap and nothing more — with a straight face no less — is a harbinger of bad times ahead. It's a sickness. There's nothing healthy about it.
As one of the 17%, I'd like to know how many among the 83% would simply acknowledge this is a problem. Nevermind whether they themselves have fallen victim to it, we'll leave that for later. But the fact remains, a lot of this stuff that's been used to bolster the case of ManBearPig suffers from glaring problems; and the evidence that does not suffer from such problems, has been whittled down to pinpoint size.
I'd like to see polls on all this stuff. Because if people don't have confidence in the opinions of everybody around them, it makes very little sense to pursue the argument "I must be right because look at all the people who agree with me."

The rate change is due to an increase in the pass-through fee paid to North San Luis Obispo County Recycling (NSLOCR), who is our local provider for the State-mandated, legally required processing of recycling and green waste (the blue and green bins), and which was last changed back in 2014. The City Council approved the recent increase at their February 26, 2019 meeting, after considering many important elements which included the fact that over the course of the past five years, the recycling market has undergone a great deal of change.
Recycling legislation in California is governed by the State and every community is required to comply with current State law. Historically, export of recyclable materials has been a key element of California's recycling program. However, recent changes to international policies restricting foreign imports of recyclable materials, together with the need to reduce contamination levels in recycling streams and a severely declining global market, have resulted in significant challenges for the solid waste and recycling industry, local governments, and all Californians.
Most recyclable material had historically been exported to China for processing and manufacturing into new products. With a drastically reduced market demand due to China's strict new contamination limits and ever-increasing import bans, recycling facilities are being forced to stockpile material. This surplus of materials is driving prices for recyclables to historic lows, which has impacted the ability of operators to offset their operating costs with revenue generated from the sales of recyclables overseas. As the recycler's ability to generate revenues from the sale of these materials decreases, they have been required to drastically increase their fees, just stay in business.
In addition to severe declines to the market and the fact that certain items that used to be considered recyclable materials are no longer marketable, another very big factor for increased recycling rates is that a large percentage of the materials put into the blue recycling bins are not actually recyclable and are considered contamination. The increasingly high rate of contamination is primarily due to what's known as "wishful recycling", which are items that are put in the recycling container because the customer believes that the item is recyclable (i.e., plastic bags, various non-recyclable paper materials and plastics, etc.); and "willful contamination" which often happens because the customer has run out of room in their garbage cart and throws excess garbage in with their recycling. The huge increase in recycling contamination is certainly not unique to our community and there are steps everyone can take to help reduce it, which in turn could help to reduce the rates paid for recycling services in the future. Items that should NOT put in the blue recycling bin include plastic bags, food scraps, scrap metal, frozen food boxes, paper cups, diapers, garden hoses, shredded paper, foam, clothing, dishes and broken glass. All of these items present huge issues for many reasons to the recycling processor. In order to address this problem, the City Council will soon be considering the approval of an additional "contamination fee", which, if approved, would be charged to residents for excessive or continued contamination and would also be collected by AWA. To help prevent possible future contamination fees, I highly encourage all Atascadero residents to review and follow the recycling guidelines published on the IWMA website at What-to-do/curbside.

Once you've completed the introductory lessons, you are ready to begin teaching the novel. The only question in your mind may be, what to focus on while teaching. Do you discuss the idea of a likeable antagonist? Focus on how the honest men, as they are called, are getting ready to steal treasure too? Or, do you just want to ensure that your students are opening the book each night and reading? There is a way to combine all of these concepts, if you use "quote study and summary" as you read the novel.
The novel is divided into different sections. You, the teacher, will model the skill for the first four sections, but giving students key quotes from each section to study. If they can understand these quotes, then, they will have not only the basic plot of the story down, but also be able to identify key character traits, and themes and motifs within the novel as well. So, while your students are reading, give them the downloadable quotes to study for each section. Once they have read and discussed, give them a quiz. After you have completed the fourth quiz, you are ready for the second part of the novel study.
Divide students into groups and make each group responsible for a section of the novel. All groups are to finish reading the entire novel by a date determined by you, but each group will do novel study for their assigned section only. They are to select ten quotes that capture the essence of their portion of the novel, create a power point to teach the quotes to their classmates, and create a visual display for the classroom that will keep their part of the story fresh in the minds of their peers.
By the time the presentations are done, your students will have a deeper understanding of the novel and some great practice for paraphrasing and inference skills.
"Treasure Island" is a great book to teach in your Middle School classroom. This 5-part series takes you through the whole novel and includes downloadable power points, worksheets and assessments.

Closing costs are often the last thing a person thinks of when buying a home. While closing is the joyous moment the home becomes yours, the costs can be surprisingly aggravating.
When you purchase a home, condo or other property, you will go through a period known as escrow. During escrow, various issues related to the property transfer are worked out. The last day of escrow is known as the closing day and you are going to be paying closing costs.
An escrow agent is essentially a third party that works with the seller and buyer to finalize the transaction. For this assistance, the escrow agent will charge a fee. Depending on your area and the agent, you can expect fees from a few hundred dollars to around a thousand or so. Make sure you find out the fees before picking an escrow agent.
Obtaining a home loan in the current market is a highly subjective event. ìPointsî can be a major cost associated with home loans. Points are essentially a fee you pay or have build into the loan for the privilege of being allowed to borrow money. A point usually equates to 1% of the loan. On a loan of $300,000, one point would equal $3,000. If you have excellent credit, you can shop for a loan that doesnít require you to pay points.
Insurance for your home and title are a must. If you are borrowing money to purchase the home, each is mandatory. If you are using your own funds, you should still get both forms of insurance. As each name implies, they provide insurance against issues involving your home and problems with the title transferred to you. You want to have clear title.
In the home purchase process, you are going to use a variety of services to validate the property is your dream home. These services come with fees and you can expect to pay for home inspectors, appraisers and the like. Depending upon the state you live in, many of these fees may be built into your mortgage. Nonetheless, you need to know exactly what you must pay for on closing day so you can budget accordingly.
Closing escrow should be one of the happier days in your life, particularly if it is for your first home. Make sure you know the costs associated with it so you donít have to spend the day running around borrowing money.
Is island life for you? Or is having an island getaway for you? Both questions would entail completely different lists of pros and cons. For investment purposes, island homes tend to hold their value, as land is obviously at a premium on an island!
The population of USA has access to many islands, in the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the US Virgin Islands and in the Pacific. If you are planning to buy a second home on an island, you will not need to do the same soul-searching that would be required for a permanent move.
Many families have bought an island cabin as a group purchase, and the weekends and vacations are allotted on a casual 'time share' basis within the family. It is shared in turn for weekend getaways where the children can roam free on weekends and vacations and every now and again they will all plan to show up together! It is a great idea for promoting family unity. It also keeps costs down, as boats, fishing rods, repairs etc can be shared.
However, that is a little different to suddenly deciding to sell everything up and move to an island. To some, that would sound idyllic and to others it may bring on claustrophobia!!
The advantages and pitfalls must differ according to each island's amenities, climate, environment and many other factors, but are there any general island 'rules'?
Most island residents who choose permanency would probably opt for an island with a ferry service. There are times when the sea is too rough for a little row boat, or motor boat, and they do not want to feel isolated. Of course, for many people this isolation is exactly what they DO want!
Sometimes a ferry schedule can mean that when you arrive home late (from a vacation flight) or from the theater you cannot make it home on the ferry. Many islands have a water taxi service that you can pre-book, or some residents will just use their own boat, and others will decide ahead to spend a night in the town's hotel.
One other problem with living on an island is that often you may have to worry where to park your car. Is the island big enough to have a car ferry, or do you need to leave your car each time you go over on a tiny ferry? In the latter case, you will need to negotiate parking near the ferry – although this is often provided for.
Such other inconveniences, like arriving home with no sugar, is really just an accepted part of island life, and easily adjusted to. That's what neighbors are for, and community glue is strong on islands!
No matter what the inconveniences are, to islanders, the peace and the feeling of being 'away from it all' is paramount. If you work off island, it only takes a few short weeks for that feeling of peace to pervade your entire being. It happens the minute you step onto that ferry boat each evening to cross the ocean to your island home.
Maybe you've read lots of advice on selling a house. But do you know the biggest mistake many people make when selling a house? Not understanding real estate value.
You see, it doesn't matter what you think your home is worth. It doesn't matter what youdid to make in nicer for your family. The value of your home is determined by buyers. What you enjoyed about your house may be irrelevant when it's time to sell. Think in terms of what buyers want, and use some of the following advice on selling a house.
1. Know the market. What other similar houses have sold for? Have those examples ready to show potential buyers.
2. Decide on a minimum price – the price below which you just won't move. Don't tell your agent what this minimum is, but negotiate with any buyers who make an offer near or above it.
3. Concentrate on the visible things first. A new mailbox is often a good idea. When buyers fall in love with the house before they even enter it, they forgive a lot of problems.
4. Clean the neighborhood. If a neighbor's yard is a mess, give their kids $10 to pick up the yard. Spend $20 to put flowers in any common-areas, and buyers will have a better first impression of the neighborhood.
5. If you or your agent aren't getting many calls, try something new. Is more advertising necessary? Is the price too high? If price is the problem, drop it fast. That perfect buyer might pass on by while the the home is still over-priced.
6. Listen to prospects. They'll be more objective than you. If you hear several times that the kitchen is dark, get out the white paint.
7. Find the average sales time for your area. If your house is taking longer than average to sell, there's a problem, and usually it's the price.
8. Ask your real estate agent what she plans to do – before you sign a listing agreement. Write down what she says, and hold her to her promises.
9. If there are known problems, such as an old roof, get an estimate for repairs. The sellers may want a $7,000 allowance for a new roof – until you show them your $4,000 estimate.
10. Do improvements that can realistically get you at least a two-to-one return on investment. If $300 to seal the driveway is likely to add $600 to the sales price of the home, do it. Always consider first those things that are most visible.
There are dozens of things you can do to sell your house faster, and get a better price. Start with the ones that will get the most "bang for your buck." Also, read and USE good advice on selling a house.

Heat pumps guide from BSRIA
BSRIA's new guide explains the design of heat-pump based heating and cooling systems to maximise the benefits of reduced operating costs and carbon emissions while avoiding excessive capital costs for plant and infrastructure.
Heat pumps are increasingly being considered as an alternative to combustion-based heating plant as a means to reduce operating costs and carbon emissions. In some countries heat pumps have already taken a significant proportion of the market for heating appliances and this is likely to be a long-term trend throughout Europe. However, while it is true that space heating and hot water needs in housing and most other buildings can be fulfilled by heat pumps, it would be wrong to treat heat pumps simply as a drop-in replacement for conventional boilers. Heat pumps can replace boiler plant in existing houses, but this should not be done without a thorough review of the associated heat distribution system and rarely without system changes. Conversely, a hydronic heat distribution system, optimised for a heat pump should also work well with a condensing boiler.
This guide explains the design of heat-pump based heating and cooling systems to maximise the benefits of reduced operating costs and carbon emissions while avoiding excessive capital costs for plant and infrastructure. The guide's emphasis is on the application of packaged heat pump plant for residential and small commercial buildings. Some guidance is provided for component-based plant that may be used for larger scale applications.
The contents of the BSRIA Guide is as follows:
HEAT PUMP FUNDAMENTALS :Heat pump technology and the economic carbon case, Refrigeration cycles and efficiency,Heat sources and sinks ,Combined cycles, Integration of renewable energy
LEGISLATION:F-Gas Regulations, Handling of refrigerants, Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations ,Building Regulations, Construction Design and Management Regulations
OUTLINE DESIGN:Sizing heat pump systems, Selection of heat source and sinks, Estimation of performance
DETAILED DESIGN OF HEATING AND COOLING SOURCE: Packaged units, Air source, Exhaust air source, Ground source, Ground water, Surface water
DETAILED DESIGN OF HEATING AND COOLING DISTRIBUTION: Principle, Air-to-air systems, Water (or brine) to air systems, Hydronic systems, Domestic hot water, Integration with conventional heat sources, Integration with renewable energy
SYSTEM CONTROLS INSTALLATION: Delivery and positioning , Electrical installation, Internal pipework installation, Ground loops and boreholes
COMMISSIONING AND TESTING:Electrical aspects, Refrigeration circuit, Heat source, Heating and cooling distribution, Handover.
