A lot has been said and written over the years about the important role family caregivers play on behalf of loved ones with various health conditions and disabilities. But acknowledgment of the estimated 42 million family caregivers in the US alone hasn't always translated into needed support. All sorts of groups and agencies have done their best to help family caregivers navigate health care, locate resources, and, importantly, find one another. But, notably, outreach from the health care system itself has often been the missing link. That's starting to change, and it was the subject of this WIHI.
Some of the pressure is coming from family caregivers and policy advocates alike. They're drawing attention to the growing number and complexity of medical tasks family caregivers are being asked to perform for patients at home. According to one major report, nearly half of family caregivers now routinely manage multiple medications, help with assistive devices, prepare special diets, provide wound care, use monitors, and operate specialized medical equipment.
As this level of care has shifted from hospital to home, advocates say clinicians and staff need to do a much better job ensuring that family caregivers have the time, skills, and information needed to fulfill expectations. This message is now resonating with health care providers like never before. Especially as they are held accountable for avoidable hospital readmissions, this means making sure discharged patients do well (and their conditions are well managed) in any setting, including the home.

Last week rates were starting to drift higher until the Non-Farm Payroll Employment Report came in at 113,000 new jobs created. That was way off the expected 185,000 and really disappointed the markets. Unfortunately, rates love bad economic news and this was no exception. So rates bounced all the way back into unchanged territory and are staying firmly in the 4.5% range for best available rate. (80% loan to value, 740+ credit score and seller paid closing costs).
Not much happening to affect rates this week. The biggest event will be Janet Yellen's first testimony as the Fed Chair and what she says about the Fed's tapering plans after the weaker than expected labor results - and what they might do if that trend continues.
As far as other economic data, the Retail Sales report on Thursday is the biggest report of the week.
AND guess what! The Debt Ceiling debate could be upon us again. On February 27th we will hit the debt ceiling and any new legislation to raise it (or not) could impact rates.

Van Buren School Safety Programs
Drug Education/Prevention and School Resource Officer Programs
Secure Front Doors
Each school site has a "buzz in" system at the front door. Parents must push a button and face a camera before the front office will unlock door and allow them access into the building.
K-5 Parent Pick Up
At every K-5 building parents are assigned a car tag that is unique to their particular school. The parent, or the person picking the student up, must have the car tag displayed from the rearview mirror before the school will allow the student to leave with them. Each school will provide parents with more specific information about the procedure at the school site.
In an effort to reduce and eliminate problems facing our young people, VBSD and the Van Buren Police Department have developed a school resource officer program. The program is designed to be an effective method of dealing with drug abuse, juvenile crime and delinquency, and assistance to children that are considered to be "at risk". The three school resource officers (SRO) will serve as positive role models for students of VBSD.
The duties of the SRO involves a variety of educational activities designed to promote a safe and drug free community. The SROs will serve the entire district, but are housed in the middle schools, junior high schools, and high school offices. See list (right) of contact information for district SROs.
Drug Education and Prevention
The Substance Abuse Prevention Program for VBSD is delivered in the context of a comprehensive prevention program that encompasses school instruction and activities, parent involvement, and community support and participation. The foundation of this program is a clearly articulated and consistently enforced policy against substance abuse.
The schools use instruction and activities in a school-based approach. Each of the elementary and secondary schools has a team of specially trained teachers, counselors and administrators committed to the goal of drug-free schools. This team works with the school staff, students, and parents to provide instruction in the prevention of drug abuse.
Each of the three secondary schools has an IMPACT team composed of students who participate in student-led and school sponsored events that teach important lessons about how fulfilling life can be without drugs.
Tornado Shelters
Several of our schools have a tornado safe room available for the safety during severe weather. Please refer to this document for more information:

Is 'The Grudge' Based on a True Story?
With all the sequels and remakes that are coming our way this year, it sure seems like 2020 will be one hell of a year for horror movie buffs like me. This year will see sequels to 'A Quiet Place', 'Conjuring', 'Purge', along with a remake of 'Invisible Man' among a long list of promising originals that include the likes of 'Antebellum'. To kickstart the year that's going to be filled with thrilling horrors, Nicolas Pesce brings to us an American reimagination of our favourite Japanese horror. 'The Grudge' is here early this January, to shock us, and make us hate bathrooms forever.
'The Grudge' can be considered more of a "sidequel" than a remake as it runs parallel to the timeline of the 2004 version. But is instead set in an American suburbia. The original film, and the ones that followed, were all set in Japan and directed by Takashi Shimizu, until the third part.
The first from the lot, 'Ju-On: The Grudge' introduced us to both Kayako and the grudge curse. We learn that if a person is murdered as a result of rage, it leads to a curse at the site of death that passes on like a virus and kills everyone it comes in contact with. Several people, over the years, have come to believe that it is based on a true story. But the truth is more complicated than that. For starters, 'The Grudge' is definitely not made up. But there is also no proof that similar events ever occured. This is because the film is heavily inspired by a popular Japanese urban legend, along with other folktales, all of which find their way into Takashi's horrifying series based on the curse. Here's everything we know about it.
Kayako: The Urban Legend
Takishi's 'Ju-On'/'The Grudge' is almost entirely based on the urban legend of Kayako. It turned her into one of the most prolific figures of the Japanese horror cinema genre till date. The story in the film follows more or less the exact tale surrounding the legend. According to it, Kayako was a young girl who grew up feeling neglected and lonely because of both her parents and peers. She eventually marries Takeo Saeki, has a son, Toshio with him. She lives with the two of them along with her cat.
One day, Takeo come across an old diaries of hers, reads about Kayako's former crush, and begins to believe that she is cheating on him. When she returns, he brutally murders her in a jealous rage. In the film, Takeo begins to question if Toshio is even his son. He then kills both Kayako and Toshio, brutally, and drowns them in the bathtub. But before that, he severely injures Kayako, nearly paralyzing her, as she tries to crawl down the stairs and escape. Before dying, she makes a hoarse death rattle.
It is believed that she returns as a vengeful ghost, and strangles Toshio with her hair. 'The Grudge' also makes use of her horrifying death rattle and her crawling down the stairs in its films with Kayako as the ghost. According to the legend, Kayako, as vengeful ghost, preys on anyone who comes in contact with the site of death. But it can also be safely assumed that Kayako's story became more or a legend because of the film, and there is not much proof to how old the legend is otherwise. What's interesting though is that Kayako's tale is actually inspired by a much older, traditional Japanese myth of Onryo.
The Myth of Onryo
Photo Credit: FujiArts.com
The myth of onryo can be traced back to the 8th century, and has been a crucial part of both Japanese literature and traditional beliefs. "Onryo" literally translates to "vengeful spirit" and refers to a ghost or "yurei" that returns from the other dimension to cause harm to the world of the living, in order to seek revenge because they were terribly wronged when they were alive.
Traditionally, these spirits are driven by vengeance, and can be responsible for causing natural disasters like fires, earthquakes, storms etc, destroying masses. It is also believed that onryo are often vengeful female spirits seeking revenge from brutal men who wronged them during their lifetime. It is believed that they come back because there died in unusual circumstances as a strong negative emotion (like rage) surrounded their death.
The story of Kayako fits perfectly in this folklore. Perhaps the reason for this is the fact that it is directly influenced by the tale of Oiwa, the most famous onryo from the myth. Oiwa is the tragic and terrifying onryo from the 19th century kabuki play, Yotsuya Kaidan.
According to the tale, a pregnant Oiwa is murdered by her unfaithful husband who she dearly loved. He kills her because he wants to marry another woman and poisons her. The poison disfigures her face and kills her unborn child, but she somehow survives. Her husband then pushes her of the cliff. Oiwa then returns as a horrifying onryo and seeks vengeance, ultimately destroying her husband's life and all the lives around him.
Oiwa's story is arguably the most famous Japanese ghost stories of all times and has been a major influence on Japanese horror, as can be seen in not only 'The Grudge' but also 'The Ring'. There's no telling if any of these myths and legends were ever based on true events. But if they were, no one would have really lived to tell the tale.

Ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) perform critical functions in the ribosome that allow protein synthesis to occur.
The genes that encode rRNAs evolve (i.e. change sequence over time) in a very unique manner that makes them excellent "markers" to trace evolutionary history and powerful tools to identifying species from sequence data.
The Ribosome
The ribosome is a cellular machine found in all organisms. It serves to convert the instructions found in messenger RNA (mRNA, which itself is made from instructions in DNA) into the chains of amino-acids that make up proteins. That is, the ribosome is responsible for the synthesis of proteins.
Structure and shape of the E.coli 70S ribosome. The large 50S ribosomal subunit (red) and small 30S ribosomal subunit (blue) are shown with a 200 Ã…ngstrom (20 nm) scale bar. For the 50S subunit, the 23S (dark red) and 5S (orange red) rRNAs and the ribosomal proteins (pink) are shown. For the 30S subunit, the 16S rRNA (dark blue) and the ribosomal proteins (light blue) are shown.
The ribosome itself is highly complex. It is made up of dozens of distinct proteins (the exact number varies a little bit between species) as well as a few specialized RNA molecules known as ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Note – these rRNAs do not carry instructions to make specific proteins like mRNAs. The ribosomal proteins are rRNAs are arranged into two distinct ribosomal pieces of different size, known generally as the large and small subunit of the ribosome.
(above text modified from the microBEnet factsheet on DNA-RNA-Protein)
The RNA World
The key catalytic activity of the ribosome – the creation of a chemical bond between two amino acids (known as a peptide bond) – comes from the RNA component of the ribosome. This, and other catalytic roles for RNA, were discovered relatively recently and were a bit of a surprise, since for many years it had been thought that all catalytic activities in cells were from proteins. The catalytic role of rRNA is a key piece of support for the "RNA world" hypothesis, which postulates that the first evolving chemical entities on Earth were RNA molecules. These RNAs served simultaneously as both genotype (i.e., genetic material) and phenotype (i.e., they had catalytic activities that allowed for some function). At some point in the evolution of life, some of these RNAs "discovered" DNA as a more stable storage medium for information, and proteins as a more versatile way to mediate enzymatic reactions. However, some catalytic functions of RNA (e.g., synthesis of proteins) are still present in modern organisms as a relic of earlier times.
Homology of the ribosome across life
Most of the individual components of the ribosome have equivalent counterparts across all forms of life. The matching components in different species (e.g., ribosomal proteins, or femur bones) are considered to be homologous – which means they are thought to have evolved from a common ancestor that also had that component (i.e. the ancestor also had a version of the same ribosomal protein).This is true for many of the proteins found in the ribosome and also for the ribosomal RNAs (for more detail see section below on Homology of ribosomal components. We can compare ribosomal components of different species, much as we can compare bones between different mammals, in essence "lining up" the sequences of the equivalent component to see where they differ.
Homology of ribosomal components
Homology refers to similarity of traits due to shared ancestry. The human hand is homologous to the cat paw and whale flipper. The three structures have evolved characteristics to different purposes, but share an underlying bone structure passed down from an ancestor common to all mammals.
Underlying the shared bone structures are shared genetic structures. Homologous genes encode homologous traits, from skeletons and organs down to the invisible components of cells. The ribosome is one of the oldest and most essential cellular players, and is homologous in all organisms. We infer homology of ribosomes across all life because they not only look and act alike, but also have remarkably similar gene sequences.
For example, the ribosome of the bacterium Escherichia coli includes a protein known as ribosomal protein L4 ("L" here stands for the fact that this protein is a component of the large subunit of the ribosome). In the genome of E. coli there is a region that includes the instructions for making this protein, known as the rpl4 gene. This gene is transcribed into mRNA, and the mRNA translated into the rpl4 protein. All organisms on the planet have a protein in their ribosomes comparable to L4 from E. coli. And, of course, all these organisms also have a gene in their genome that is equivalent to the rpl4 gene from E. coli (they could not have a L4 protein if they did not have a gene encoding it in their genome). In fact, it is not just that all organisms have a protein that is "like" the E. coli L4. All the L4-like proteins in all species are so similar to each other in their amino acid sequence, that it has been inferred that a common ancestor of all modern day organisms also possessed an L4-like protein.
The same pattern generally holds true for dozens of other ribosomal proteins, as well as for multiple ribosomal RNAs. We can line up the components of one species' ribosome with the components of other species ribosomes much as we can compare bones between different mammals. From these comparisons it has been inferred that a common ancestor of all modern day organisms had a ribosome that was very similar to the ribosomes found across all forms of life today. The equivalent ribosomal components in different organisms (e.g., L4 in E. coli and humans) are considered to have evolved from a common ancestral component (i.e., L4 in a common ancestor of humans and E. coli). (Of course, at some point, long in the past, the ancestors of E. coli and humans split into different lineages – more on this "Tree of Life" in a bit).
The L4 proteins of different species are considered to be homologous.
Distinct rRNAs in different organisms
Bacteria and Archaea possess three distinct rRNAs, sometimes referred to as the 5S, 16S, and 23S forms. The "S" in this nomenclature refers to Svelberg units, a measure of an experimental technique called sedimentation (see next paragraph for more detail on this). The 16S rRNA is the sole rRNA in the small subunit of the ribosome and thus is sometimes referred to as the small subunit rRNA or ss-rRNA. The 5S and 23S are both components of the large subunit of the ribosome.
Sedimentation values
Sedimentation in the lab is in essence an accelerated form of the settling of particles that occurs in formation of sediment in lake and ocean floors. In the lab one can accelerate the process by very rapidly (10s of thousands of RPM) spinning samples in a centrifuge. To study the components of a cell such as the different parts of the ribosome, researchers break open cells and then spin the components in a tube inside a centrifuge. Different components of the cell settle in different regions of the "sedimentation gradient" in the tube (with the specific region given a numerical value – the higher the number the less easily something moves through the gradient). The exact region in which something settles is based on a combination of its size, shape and density. For most bacteria and archaea, the main forms of ribosomal RNA settle at the 5S, 16S, and 23S regions of a sedimentation gradient. For most eukaryotes, the main forms of ribosomal RNA settle at slightly different regions and thus have different numerical values (e.g., humans have 5S, 5.8S, 18S, and 28S and 40S. The 5.8S and 5S are homologous to the 5S of bacteria and archaea, the 18S is homologous to the 16S, and the 28S is homologous to the 23S.
3D structure of the 5S rRNA
Key features of rRNAs for phylogenetics
The function of rRNAs is very similar across all species. The core function of the ribosome is basically the same across different groups of organisms. However, this does not mean the rRNAs are identical between species. The actual sequence of the nucleotides in rRNAs (and in the rDNA genes) does vary between species. For our purposes there are three key features of the variation in rRNA sequence between species.
First, the rRNA molecules in the ribosome fold over into complex three dimensional shapes. The specific shape that they take is highly conserved between species. However, the linear sequence of nucleotides in each rRNA (also known as the primary sequence) can vary without affecting the function since different primary sequences can fold into in essence the same shape.
Second, when a single species splits into two distinct evolutionary lineages, differences can accumulate in the sequence of the rRNAs between the two lineages. Biologists call the process "sequence divergence." The divergence of rRNA sequences generally occurs very slowly (they are among the most slowly evolving of genes, but changes still happen). In addition, the structure and function of the rRNAs generally stay the same between species (and changes in the actual structure are usually lethal).
Third, some regions of rRNAs evolve (i.e., diverge) slowly and others diverge rapidly. Some regions are basically the same across most or all taxa. This shared sequence has allowed researchers to use a specialized laboratory method known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to help read the sequences of rRNAs from different (and even unknown) species.

I'm saddened this morning after reading AdWeek "Saatchi Chairman Kevin Roberts Placed on 'Leave of Absence' Over Gender Comments – CEOs of the agency and Publicis have disavowed him". The controversy (the gender comments) started two days ago in a July 29th Business Insider interview/report "Saatchi & Saatchi chairman Kevin Roberts thinks the gender diversity in advertising debate is 'over'" by Lara O'Reilly (tweet).
Kevin Roberts, Saatchi & Saatchi chairman, is a big boy and doesn't need defending by anyone especially by a nobody independent reporter. Kevin and I've never met once and will likely never meet in person! But I dislike all forms of social media mob trial. Yes, I dislike this mob trial of @KRConnect @PublicisGroupe by social media as much as I dislike #genderbias!

Ghostbusters: Afterlife full of adventure, fun - film review
Published By Alexandra Heilbron on Nov 19, 2021
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a follow-up to the Ghostbusters movies of the 1980s, directed by Ivan Reitman (who has a producer credit on this film). This new installment is directed by his son, Jason Reitman.
You might expect Ghostbusters: Afterlife to have a similar tone to the first movie, but it's completely different. Not to say that's a bad thing. It's an original movie with an original premise and it's incredibly entertaining.
At the beginning of the film, Egon Spengler is living on a remote farm outside the small town of Summerville, Oklahoma, where he moved many years ago for reasons unknown. When he dies, his daughter Callie (Carrie Coon), who never met her father, reluctantly moves with her two kids to the farm when she's evicted from her home.
Her son, Trevor (Finn Wolfhard), 15, is downright grumpy about moving out to the country, while his younger sister, 12-year-old Phoebe (Mckenna Grace), takes things in stride. She's a science nerd and the brains of the family.
This is really Phoebe's story. Mckenna Grace carries the movie like the experienced actor she is, in spite of her young age. Phoebe discovers some of her grandfather's ghost hunting paraphernalia, including the nuclear-powered zapper and a ghost trap.
Trevor has a smaller storyline, in which he develops a crush on a girl in Summerville. He finds his grandfather's dusty old Ecto-1 Cadillac under a tarp in the barn, not knowing what Phoebe has already found. He just wants to get it in running order so he can have wheels to get around in, but it turns out to be handy when Phoebe is in full ghostbusting mode later in the movie.
Possibly due to her father's absence in her childhood, Callie doesn't pay much attention to her children. She shows a little more interest when Phoebe's summer school teacher, Mr. Grooberson (Paul Rudd) drives Phoebe and her friend Podcast (Logan Kim) home from school, after they show him the ghost trap.
Phoebe gets most of the funny lines, although Paul Rudd infuses humor into his lines as well, but this isn't the laugh fest that the original was. Without the comedy team that made up the original Ghostbusters, it takes on a more serious tone.
However, there are cute moments, such as when Grooberson discovers tiny Stay-Puft marshmallow men popping out of marshmallow bags in Walmart, then running rampant.
Phoebe and Trevor, who don't seem to be close, finally team up when it becomes clear that evil is about to be unleashed on Summerville.
Young audiences will enjoy Ghostbusters: Afterlife as an action/thriller with plenty of adventure and enough laughs to make it fun. Older and more nostalgic viewers will appreciate the nods to the original, and there are many, including cameos from several original cast members. Make sure to stay during the credits for two extra scenes, including one with Sigourney Weaver, who isn't seen in the movie until that point.

What is the Chemical Composition of Paraffin Wax?
••• PeopleImages/E+/GettyImages
How to Recycle Polystyrene Foam
By Eric Bank, MBA, MS Finance
Paraffin wax is a familiar substance because it is used to make candles. It is a soft, white solid at room temperature that melts and burns easily. Its chemical composition is a mix of hydrocarbon molecules known as alkanes. Paraffin wax melts at temperatures between 125 and 175 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on its exact mixture. The wax has a number of uses and was instrumental in the discovery of a subatomic particle, the neutron.
The general formula for paraffin wax involves n carbon atoms and 2n plus 2 hydrogen atoms, where n is at least 16. For example, one of the hydrocarbons in the wax might have the formula C31H64. In the manufacture of paraffin wax from petroleum, different amounts of refining can change the mix of hydrocarbons and thereby modify some of the wax's properties, such as its melting point. Manufacturers make the wax by removing the oil from a waxy byproduct of petroleum distillation. In addition to its historical significance in helping to identify the neutron, paraffin wax is used in many applications, including investment casting, coatings, sealants, lubricants, candles and crayons.
Discovery of the Neutron
The high hydrogen content of paraffin wax prompted James Chadwick to use the substance in 1932 to discover the existence of an electrically neutral subatomic particle that he named the neutron. Chadwick used a radioactive element, polonium, as a source of alpha radiation, which is a stream of high-energy electrons. He directed the alpha radiation at a beryllium target that then gave off its own radiation. Chadwick directed this electrically neutral secondary radiation into a sample of paraffin wax within a chamber attached to a Geiger counter. The secondary radiation caused ionized protons -- hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons -- to register on the counter. The number of displaced paraffin wax protons indicated that the neutral secondary radiation contained particles of approximately the same size as protons -- neutrons.
Metal parts, such as turbine blades, are often manufactured using the investment casting, or "lost wax" process, which relies on the molding of wax patterns. Paraffin wax is one of several types of waxes suitable for making patterns, and the wax may contain additives that increase its usefulness. The procedure is to create a master pattern from plastic, wood, wax, clay or metal and then create a rubber or metal mold, the master die, from the pattern. Molten wax is then poured into the master die, either in many small layers or all at once. After the wax patterns cool and harden, ceramic materials are applied to produce the investment, which is a mold into which molten metals are cast.
Paraffin wax is non-toxic, indigestible and used to coat foods such as candies and cheeses. It can be used to seal containers and as an additive to chewing gum. Its ability to resist caking and moisture makes it a useful addition to fertilizers. Surfers often wax their boards with paraffin wax mixture known as surfwax that adds grip. As a glide wax, it helps skis and snowboards slip through snow and ice. Paraffin wax is found in a wide range of products, including solid inks, rubber compounds, peanut butter balls, waxed paper, paintballs, textiles, petroleum jelly and lip balm.

This country was founded as a Christian; it's foundation based on Christian principles. It came into being because our forefathers wanted to be able worship God free from the control of state dictators. They didn't want to worship God as the English monarchy said they must, or other governments in the old country said they must. They wanted to worship God with liberty and freedom. That is the basis and the reason they came to America. This is also the foundation our forefathers built this great nation upon.
These were men who believed that the success of this great nation and the gospel of Jesus Christ were woven together inseparably, and to separate them would in destroy the very fabric that holds together our great nation.
Views have changed today. The vast majority of the people no longer hold fast to these beliefs. And as a result our nation has suffered greatly. But I believe, as Christians, we have a responsibility not to be moved by what others believe. We must remember the vision of our nations Founding Fathers. We must return to the roots of our foundation and pray for our nation from that platform. Rather than complain, let's pray.
2 Chronicles 7:14: If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
1 Timothy 2:1-2: Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
God watches over His word when we pray in faith. I have hope for our great country because I believe in the God who inspired men to found this nation on Him. Please join me this month in praying for our nation.

Gov. Beshear, Toyota Unveil Kentucky's First Lexus ES 350
Rep. Larry Clark was the sponsor of HB400 in 2012 that paved the way for the Toyota expansion to build Lexus vehicles in Kentucky. Georgetown plant produces only US-made Lexus; $360 million expansion added model, 750 new Kentucky jobs
GEORGETOWN, Ky. (Oct. 19, 2015) – Kentucky's automotive industry, for years one of the Commonwealth's greatest strengths, today grew even stronger as Gov. Steve Beshear joined Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) officials and community leaders in Georgetown to unveil the first Lexus built in the United States.
TMMK's production of the luxury-model Lexus ES 350, the top-selling Lexus sedan worldwide, is creating 750 new Kentucky jobs with an investment of $360 million in the project. The expansion allows TMMK to produce about 50,000 Lexus vehicles per year.
"This is an important day for the Commonwealth," said Gov. Beshear. "For Lexus to have the confidence in our Kentucky workforce to build this magnificent car speaks volumes. These additional 50,000 vehicles are further proof that the state of Kentucky is a great place to do business for the automotive industry. This is why we are the third-largest producer of light vehicles in the U.S."
"To be chosen to build the Lexus ES 350 is a great honor for not only Toyota, but the state of Kentucky," said Wil James, president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky Inc. "It brings us full circle in that we were the first wholly owned plant for Toyota in North America, and, now, we are the first to build Lexus in the United States."
Toyota opened the Georgetown facility, the company's largest manufacturing facility outside Japan, in 1988. In addition to the Lexus ES 350, the Georgetown facility also manufactures the Toyota Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon and Avalon Hybrid, as well as 4-cylinder and V6 engines. With Lexus, the Kentucky plant's capacity increases to more than 550,000 vehicles per year. Total employment now stands above 7,500.
It was during a visit by Gov. Beshear to Toyota's headquarters in Japan that the possibility of this significant project came to light. As a proactive measure, Gov. Beshear worked with the Kentucky General Assembly to pass legislation expanding the Kentucky Jobs Retention Act (KJRA), an incentive program designed to spur job creation and significant investments in Kentucky's automotive and parts manufacturing facilities.
KJRA was originally designed to encourage recent investment and job growth by Ford Motor Co. in Louisville. Gov. Beshear recognized the legislation's potential for other automakers and large parts-manufacturing facilities. He signed House Bill 400 in 2012, making the incentive accessible to Toyota and other major companies.
The following spring, Toyota received approval from the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority for incentives through the newly expanded KJRA program, paving the way to the $360 million Lexus investment. The project also included other plant upgrade investments totaling $171.2 million. In total, the investment marks the second-largest by Toyota in its Georgetown facility and the largest since an $800 million addition in 1991.
Across nearly three decades, TMMK established itself as a leader in the Commonwealth's auto industry. In addition to employing thousands of Kentuckians, Toyota has provided collaborative leadership to implement best practices in workforce development and other industry initiatives.
TMMK's training model provided a foundation for the Kentucky Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education (KY FAME), a statewide apprenticeship-and-collegiate program training a new generation of advanced-manufacturing employees. Also, among many other community and statewide achievements, the company helped found the Kentucky Auto Industry Association (KAIA).
"We are thrilled to welcome the production of Lexus' ES 350 model to Georgetown, as well as the estimated 750 new jobs it will provide," said Sen. Damon Thayer, of Georgetown. "Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky has been a tremendous asset to our state's economy for decades, and we are beyond proud in the continued confidence the company has placed in our community. We appreciate the efforts of everyone who made this project a reality."
"This is a great day for Toyota and all of the Commonwealth, and it marks another major milestone forward for both as we build on a partnership that now extends back 30 years," said Rep. Tom McKee, of Cynthiana. "I have seen firsthand what Toyota has meant to our region during that time and am certainly happy that the company decided to build on that considerable commitment by adding the Lexus line. I want to thank Gov. Beshear and his administration, my fellow legislators and our local leaders for helping Toyota to take this step. Its impact will be felt for decades to come."
"How pleased we are that Toyota and Lexus have the confidence in Georgetown as a place to build the best car in the world," said Georgetown Mayor Tom Prather. "We are excited about the opportunity and welcome Lexus to our community. I think it is appropriate that Lexus is here because Georgetown is a Lexus kind of place. I'm looking forward to our mutual success!"
"This is a big day for all of Scott County and the entire state as we move forward with Toyota in building great cars and ensuring the economic future for many years to come," said Scott County Judge-Executive George Lusby.
TMMK's location in Georgetown helped drive Kentucky's automotive industry to the thriving level it is today. Kentucky is currently home to more than 470 automotive-industry companies that employ nearly 86,000 people. Additionally, ties between Kentucky and the Japanese business community continue to flourish, with Kentucky boasting more than 170 Japanese-owned manufacturing, service and technology facilities that collectively employ more than 41,500 people.


Working correctly with database indexes is always the key to application performance and reliability. Especially when the amount of data grows rapidly, well designed database architecture really pays off. However, when we're working with database indexes, it can be easy to miss something, or fall into the trap of a tricky outlying case. One of these is when performing unique indexing on multiple columns, where at least one of them is null.
Consider the following scenario: You have a database table named products which works with a custom implementation of soft delete mechanism, so it includes columns: name and deleted_at. Deleting the product from the application doesn't remove it permanently from the database, but instead marks it as deleted by populating the deleted_at column with a timestamp.
The system is designed to disallow creating product duplicates (by products.name), unless it was already existing before and has been deleted (so there may be many deleted products with the same name, but different deleted_at timestamp).
In practice that means that our index will work fine only for deleted products, but it will allow creating multiple products with the same name and empty deleted_at value - in effect, having the same products listed simultaneously, which we want to avoid.
add_index :products, :name, unique: true, where: "deleted_at is null"
Combining the commands will make sure that we have covered all cases.
We love getting into the nitty gritty of SQL coding and making sure we've outlined all cases correctly. If you are looking for assistance with your databases, back-end, or even DevOps, make sure to let the team at iRonin know - we'd be happy to help out!

If there is one principle that reveals the essence of the Zen aesthetic found in Japanese traditional art and design — and life in general — it is harmony. The kanji that has been used by Japan for the past 1300 years or so to represent this concept is 和 (wa). Wa is also the adjective used to describe things which are Japanese or in the Japanese style such as Wafuku 和服 (Japanese clothing), Washitsu 和室 (Japanese-style room), Washi 和紙 (traditional Japanese paper), and Washoku 和食 (Japanese cuisine), as I mentioned before. Aesthetically, wa is fundamental to all good design, yet it goes beyond aesthetics. Wa also reads as "gentleness of spirit" (和らぎ), so harmony refers to form but it also refers to an internal feeling or approach to art and to life. The particulars will change depending on the case and circumstance, but the concept is the same: in all things harmony. The idea is since harmony exists inherently in the cosmos and on our planet, we can benefit ourselves and others by learning from lessons found in nature. Wa has direct applications for our personal lives, our relationships, and our whole approach to life and work. Here are just seven things to think about as you strive to bring more wa to your own design solutions.
(1) Embrace economy of materials and means. Traditional Japanese construction and interiors used only natural, available materials, and in art and design too recycling was common. Waste and excess is at odds with wa. Think, for example, of tatami mats that comprise the floor of a Japanese room (washitsu) which were historically made from leftover straw from the harvest. There is a trend now emerging in Japan that embraces the use of more natural and recycled materials under the banner of "eco" or sustainability. How can we bring the principle of economy to our design work? One way is by practicing restraint. Yokusei 抑制 (control, restraint) and setsudo 節度 (moderation) or seigen 制限 (limit) are forms of self-restraint we can practice. It's hard not to give in to the habit of adding more when less would do; this is where restraint comes in.
(2) Repeat design elements. Repeating some elements not only contributes to unity in a design, it's a clear consequence of restraint. You made the conscious decision to limit your palette and techniques and still express the message (or solve the problem) within the self-imposed constraints. We need variety but we need similarity too. Repeating selected elements — just as nature does — contributes to harmony and clarity.
(3) Keep things clean and clutter-free. Shintoism has been called a faith of purification, and historically at least, there was a belief that kami (gods) would not enter a house that was unclean or otherwise in a state of disorder. Disorder is at odds with nature. Consumerism since the war has made for many a clutter-filled house in Japan, but there is a trend toward returning to the good parts of the past: less stuff, more space, natural materials. In design, we must do what is possible to pare down and keep things clean, clear, and clutter free.
(4) Avoid symmetry. Symmetry is not bad — and often it is necessary — but in many areas of design it is derided at the easy and boring answer. The natural world — the mountain or the forest — is full of beautiful asymmetry. Balanced asymmetry is natural, and in the natural world is where spontaneity lives. Symmetrical designs lack the feeling of movement or spontaneity that we find in nature. Creating balance and harmony in an asymmetrical design is usually a more challenging and creative approach.
(5) Avoid the obvious in favor of the subtle. To the Japanese, there is no beauty in the obvious or the overly direct. Indirectness and subtly, after all, is the stuff of poetry. And should not design — like life itself — be the stuff of poetry? The art of suggestion can be seen in many aspects of Japanese art, design, and language. Think of ways you can design with clarity while also including elements that are subtle and suggestive.
(6) Think not only of yourself, but of the other (e.g., the viewer). Harmony in relationships exits when people put themselves in the other's shoes and think of the greater good of the group. Wa does not exist where one thinks only of oneself. Think for yourself? Of course. Think only of yourself. No. All good designers know this: it's not about me, it's about them (or "us").
(7) Remain humble and modest. Many of us mistakenly feel that strong confidence cannot exist alongside humility and modesty. This is a mistake. True confidence exists only where you also find humility and modesty. Where these are lacking, you see a kind of faux confidence that feels insecure, overly individualistic, and inharmonious. Think of the character Yoda from Star Wars. Yoda embraced all three characters among many others: Humility, modesty, supreme confidence. Be like Yoda.
This slide below contains a quote from The Book of Tea that touches on the importance of humility and other subtle aspects of wa.
The Duarte Blog posted three short videos of Nancy Duarte and me talking about the presentation landscape, etc. at the whiteboard. We shot this while I was in Silicon Valley last month. There may be a point or two of interest in there for you.
I love your comment in the 3rd video "I can't imagine ....what powerpoint slides are doing to philosophy!" Nice, very nice. There is something to be said for being able to take ideas and spontaneously visualize and represent them on a whiteboard or blackboard.
Thanks for the tips Guy and Nancy. Love the "perfect is boring" wish my students would understand that.
Just curious, Guy - do you know any good Asian stock photography sites. My students were asking.
Regarding Repeat Design Elements, this makes sense in the physical world, too.
Years ago, I worked for a computer maker that, for a new product, outsourced, not just the manufacture, but a good portion of the design, to a Japanese vendor.
Our in-house designed products had machine screws of dozens of different lengths, diameters, head shapes, making for a complex process of tracking which screw goes where, and a lot of mistakes in reassembly.
But when the first production sample arrived from Japan and our engineers began dissecting it, they marveled at how the Japanese made every single machine screw the same, greatly simplifying inventories, the disassembly and reassembly, as well as the number of tools required for the job.
Even after 5yrs in Japan, I am impressed with what I learn about Japanese sense of style here.

Xi Jinping Says Taiwan's Unification With China Is 'Inevitable'
By Suyin Haynes
Chinese President Xi Jinping said Taiwan's unification with mainland China is "inevitable," issuing a stern warning against any separatist or independence attempts on the self-governing island in a firmly-worded speech Wednesday.
"China must and will be united," said Xi in reference to unification with Taiwan, AFP reports. "We make no promise to give up the use of force and reserve the option of all necessary means," Xi added, not ruling out the use of military action against separatist efforts in Taiwan.
While Beijing still sees Taiwan as part of China's sovereign territory despite the island's breakaway from the mainland at the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state with its own democratic political system. Taiwan has never formally declared independence from mainland China, but relations have come under pressure since the election of Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen in 2016. Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) does not accept the 1992 Consensus — a diplomatic agreement made between Taiwan and China acknowledging the existence of "one China."
On Tuesday, Tsai declared that Beijing "must respect the insistence of 23 million people for freedom and democracy" and "must use peaceful and equal terms to handle our differences," AFP reports. Merely a day later, Xi described his vision for unification via a "one country, two systems" approach to "safeguard the interests and well-being of Taiwanese compatriots." Over the past year, Beijing has ramped up efforts to isolate Taiwan, through pressuring international companies and airlines to list the territory as part of mainland China. Taiwan also has very few diplomatic allies with a series of defections to China taking place in 2018, and it is not granted membership or access to international organizations such as the United Nations or the World Health Organization.
In mid-term elections last year, the DPP suffered losses causing Tsai to resign as party leader, while the pro-China opposition rival Kuomintang made gains. Last week, the capital city of Taipei was beset by protesters demonstrating against high taxes, echoing France's gilet jaunes, or "yellow jackets" movement.

. Pelletizing dies made from tools steel are used in under water polymer pelletizers.
Extreme Coatings is helping to sponsor the 11th Annual Oilman's Hill Country Ride, April 16, 17 & 18, 2015. This charity ride raises money to support men and women of the US Armed Forces, including organizations such as Wounded Warriors.
Large hydraulic shafts (fork lifts, back hoes, dump trucks, etc.) are chrome plated so that a seal ring can slide easily over this surface during operation. Over time chrome will wear or corrode and this leads to breakdown of the packing seal. The result – loss of hydraulic pressure, contaminated fluids and the need to re-chrome or replace the shaft. Tungsten carbide coating will replace chrome in this application and last many times longer. The surface finish for polished tungsten carbide is 2-4 Ra with an Rz of 12-15. This smooth surface ensures packing seals will also last a long time. The higher corrosion resistance carbide coating is perfect for areas prone to corrosion pitting – ocean work zones, chemical plants, etc.
Pelletizing dies made from tools steel such as D2 (12% chromium) and H-13 ( 5% chromium) are used in under water polymer pelletizers. These steels provide abrasion resistance and withstand general wear from a cutting knife sliding over the surface at high speeds. A tungsten carbide finished coating layer of just .010" (surface ground and polished) can provide three times the wear resistance compared to these tool steels. In some cases it is possible to recoat a worn die or simply grind away the wear groove and continue using a tungsten carbide coated surface.

They simply soften as they heat up. These materials (PC, PVC) can be shear heat sensitive so feedscrew meter depths are usually greater to reduce the shear rates in this area. Compression rates are also lower to avoid high shear.
Crystalline or semi-crystalline materials must go through a heat of fusion to relax the crystalline regions before they will melt. (Ice for example must melt entirely before the temperature will rise). These materials (Nylon, PP, PE) require shear heat energy to facilitate melting. Feedscrew meter depths should be shallower to increase the shear and contact with the barrel. Compression rate is also higher to facilitate shear. If these resins contain glass fiber filers then the compression rate will decrease depending on loading to avoid breaking the glass fibers.
The cost of wear is a real number and should be understood. For example at constant rpm a 60 mm feedscrew with .020" (.5 mm) of diameter reduction (wear) will produce 10 lbs (5 Kg) LESS sellable product per hour of operation. A 90 mm feedscrew will experience double this output loss. To combat this output loss the rpm can be increased which increases the wear rate, the power usage, the melt temperature and the scrap rates. A clear understanding of the cost that results as screws and barrels wear should quickly focus a company's resources on preventing wear or repairing worn equipment rather than compensating for this wear with higher screw rpm.
Due to the greater alloy content of these steels they provide good toughness and abrasion resistance. Such steels are termed through-hardened as they undergo specific heat treatments after machining to harden the matrix. The high alloy content makes weld repair once a tool steel screw is worn nearly impossible and for this reason worn screws are discarded. Tungsten carbide coating is an option to replace up to .025" (.60 mm) total wear by thermal spray buildup on the top of screw flights. This is a proven option that will result in two to three times more useful life from such a repaired tool steel feedscrew.
Ultimate abrasive wear resistance in steels is determined by the volume percentage of hard carbides.
Standard alloy steels rely mostly on chromium carbide formation to impart more abrasion resistance. These carbide particles are microscopic in size, and constitute from less than 5% to over 20% of the total volume of the microstructure of the steel. Chromium carbides are about 65/70 HRC, molybdenum and tungsten carbides are about 75 HRC. Our thermal spray coating of XC1000 contains 88-90% by weight (80% by volume) of hard tungsten carbide. This hard, dense high volume percentage carbide layer at the point of wear provides the ultimate abrasive wear resistance possible. Harder carbides exist but compared to tungsten carbides none can be applied in a thick enough layer or with sufficient bond strength to offer any substantial value of the life of a feedscrew.

Halogen-free resins are designed to meet RoHS – Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances requirements.
Started in Europe as a way to reduce harmful residual material reaching landfills this requirement is making its way to the rest of the world. This benefit to the public has a hidden cost to plastics processors – aggressive corrosion. These flame retardant materials are extremely corrosive to steels at processing temperature. Most processors new to this material are surprised when they discover a feedscrew that looks like a broomstick after only 4 to 5 weeks of molding these halogen-free compounds. Extreme Coatings XC1000Ni is a nickel based tungsten carbide formulation that is completely inert. Coating a feedscrew with XC1000Ni will stop this corrosive attack and ensure that feedscrews can last for years.

October continued the trend of patching remote desktop vulnerabilities, which have been common the past four months. CVE-2019-1333 is an RCE flaw that exists in the Remote Desktop Client when a user connects with a malicious server. An attacker who successfully exploited the bug could view, change, or delete data; install programs; or create new accounts with user rights.
To exploit CVE-2019-1333, an attacker would need to control a server and convince a target to connect using a social engineering scam, DNS poisoning, or a man-in-the-middle attack. They could also compromise a legitimate server, host malicious code on it, and wait for someone to connect to it. Today's patch corrects how Remote Desktop Client handles connection requests.
While this RCE vulnerability is only being disclosed today and attackers haven't yet taken advantage of it, Microsoft warns exploitation is more likely for this one. The patch should be applied "immediately," says Richard Melick, senior technical product manager at Automox, even though this bug isn't as severe as the remote desktop flaws disclosed back in August.
"Lateral access through a network only requires one compromised machine and with this capability in the hands of an attacker, their actions would be masked longer due to the escalated access," Melick says of the implications of this vulnerability in the wrong hands. Even so, the requirement for attackers to convince a target to connect makes this tough to exploit.
Important-ranked patch CVE-2019-1326 is a Remote Desktop Protocol denial-of-service bug that exists when an attacker connects to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted requests. If successful, they could cause the RDP service on a target system to stop responding.
Microsoft also re-released CVE-2019-1367, which was first deployed on Sept. 23 as an out-of-band patch to address a scripting engine memory corruption vulnerability in Internet Explorer that was under active attack. The bug could let an attacker execute arbitrary code at the same privilege level as a legitimate user and in doing so, install programs, view and change data, and create new accounts with full user rights while the legitimate user is logged in as an admin.
The update to this patch released today addresses a known printing issue some users might have experienced after installing any of the Security Updates, IE Cumulative Updates, or Monthly Rollups released on Sept. 23 or Oct. 3 for Internet Explorer 9, 10, or 11, or Windows.
For those who use the Azure App Service, another RCE vulnerability worth noting is CVE-2019-1372. This exists when Azure App Service/Antares on the Azure Stack fails to check the length of a buffer before copying the memory to it. An attacker who successfully exploited this could allow an unprivileged function run by the user to execute code in the context of NT Authority system and escape the sandbox. The patch ensures Azure App Services sanitizes user inputs.
"If you have the Azure App Service deployed to your Azure Stack, this patch should be prioritized," says Qualys director of product management Jimmy Graham.

Check out our up and coming t shirt designs. They aren't finished , being only sketches, but we're sure you'll see where we are headed with them. We think the new releases have a lot of potential and we hope you do as well. Thanks for visiting our near future and we hope to have you back soon and remember, it's all about the Toonz/Tunes around here.


We arrived at the first patch of cover, a spot where I thought we might turn up some grouse. We set off and minutes into the hunt, Hera found and pointed a woodcock. The bird was in a patch of birch and aspen and though she was staunch on point, when I flushed the bird, it made good its escape, hidden in the leaves still on the trees. It was a great start to the hunt; there were woodcock in the forest in spite of the dry conditions in the covers. With new enthusiasm, we pressed on through the cover, working our way through the edge habitat where the hardwood stand meets a meadow. As we made our way along a stand that is parallel to the forest road, Hera locked up on point. I walked up the point, once more she remained staunch, and a woodcock flushed. I pivoted to make the shot and fumbled with the safety on my new Franchi, but made the shot, dumping the bird cleanly. Hera made the retrieve and we moved on. She swept the cover on the other side of the forest road and bumped a wild turkey. We walked up an old trail that led to the ruin of an old deer stand. While I paused to photograph the ruin, Hera saw fit to take off for a jaunt. I hate when dogs do this; it feels like an eternity when they are out of earshot and my imagination kicks in with "what if she never returns" mercilessly. She was gone a few moments before I heard (to my relief) her bell in the distance as she made her way back.
Deer stand that is no longer in use.
We moved back to the other side of the forest road and Hera locked up on point again. This time she stood on the forest road, pointing to a patch of hardwood. She had her head up, which usually indicates a running grouse, and sure enough a grouse flushed wildly as I walked toward Hera on point. Hera ran ahead in search of the bird and quickly locked up on point. This time I walked into the thicket from the meadow, found Hera and approached her head on, putting the bird (a grouse) in a squeeze play. The bird flushed and I fired twice, missing spectacularly. I banged the barrels of my Franchi on a tree as I made the second shot. The bird offered me a straight away across the meadow. Nice to see I still miss as spectacularly as ever with the Franchi. We completed the sweep of this cover with no more points and moved on to Lester's Square.
Found Lester's Square dry as a bone, but in spite of this, got into grouse and woodcock. Also, on the little water that remains on the beaver pond at the edge of the cover I flushed several mallards, well out of range. Hera worked some running grouse at the edge of the pines and I got my first grouse of the season. I thought I missed as I shot through leafy cover, but Hera retrieved the downed bird. It was killed cleanly. As we made our way through the varied types of cover she found and pointed four more woodcock. She was staunch on all but one of the points, but I managed to miss spectacularly on the three birds that offered a shot. We met some people riding ATVs and I was careful to observe the proper etiquette this situation commands. As soon as I heard them approach, I unloaded my firearm and left the action open for them to see. They waved as they passed by and I made certain to keep Hera out of harm's way. It is important that hunters make a good impression on non-hunters using crown lands during hunting season. I take care to show I am aware of their presence and pose no threat while we share the same space.
Water level on the beaver pond is very low this season.
Hera knows the area well from hunting in seasons past so we pressed on through a patch of cedar that is usually nice and boggy. Like the rest of the cover, it was dry as a bone and though she locked up on point once, the bird was long gone. By the time we completed the sweep of the dry cedar bog it was noon. We were out for four hours and by the then the temperature climbed to 13 degrees C, not overly hot, but without water for Hera to cool off in I decided to call it a day. It was a good start to the season, we put two birds in the bag. I sure hope we get some torrential rainfall the next two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving Weekend. Without it, I fear we are in for a poor woodcock season. Regardless, Hera and I and hopefully some of my hunting buddies will try our luck. After all, in hunting, nothing is guaranteed and getting out with your dog and hunting buddies is a worthy effort in its own right!

Q: JAXB unmarshalling of "generic" real world documents We have a large set of configuration documents of the style
<foo>
  <bar class="com.diedel.Gnarf">
    ...more content
  </bar>
  <bar class="de.doedel.Bork">
    ..more content
  </bar>
  ...
</foo>

The generic implementation classes are all  mapped using Jaxb themselves.
Before i finally revert to Xstream, a question to the community: Is there a (non hack) way to get this unmarshalled in Jaxb. What we tried so far is "nested" unmarshalling using an @XMLAdapter, where the "bar" field gets an Element, gets the target class and calls another "unmarshall" cycle. This approach has been a) quite slow and b) is broken with the switch to Java 7 where some magic ThreadLocal destroys the context when returning from the inner unmarshall.
I found that MOXy may support this using @XmlDiscriminatorNode - this looks like a good solution and i really like the very good input of Blaise - but adding a >7MB lib just for fun is not an option.
Other ideas?

A: You could do something like the following with JAXB (JSR-222) and StAX (JSR-173):
Demo
A StAX XMLStreamReader can be used to parse the XML document.  You can use it to advance to a bar element, then you can read the class attribute and load the appropriate Java class from a ClassLoader.  Then you can leverage one of the unmarshal methods that takes a class parameter.
package forum12402215;

import javax.xml.bind.*;
import javax.xml.stream.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ClassLoader classLoader = Bork.class.getClassLoader();
        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Bork.class, Gnarf.class);
        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();

        StreamSource source = new StreamSource("src/forum12402215/input.xml");
        XMLInputFactory xif = XMLInputFactory.newFactory();
        XMLStreamReader xsr = xif.createXMLStreamReader(source);
        xsr.nextTag(); // Advance to "foo" element
        xsr.nextTag(); // Advance to "bar" element

        while(xsr.getLocalName().equals("bar")) {
             String className = xsr.getAttributeValue("", "class");
             Class<?> clazz = classLoader.loadClass(className);
             Object object = unmarshaller.unmarshal(xsr, clazz).getValue();
             System.out.println(object);
             xsr.nextTag();
        }
    }

}

Bork
Below is a sample Bork class.
package forum12402215;

public class Bork {

    private String b;

    public String getB() {
        return b;
    }

    public void setB(String b) {
        this.b = b;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Bork(b=" + b + ")";
    }

}

Gnarf
Below is a sample Gnarf class:
package forum12402215;

public class Gnarf {

    private int a;

    public int getA() {
        return a;
    }

    public void setA(int a) {
        this.a = a;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Gnarf(a=" + a + ")";
    }

}

input.xml
Below is he sample document I used used for this example based on the one from your question.  I changed the package names.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo>
    <bar class="forum12402215.Gnarf">
        123
    </bar>
    <bar class="forum12402215.Bork">
        Hello World
    </bar>
</foo>

Output
Below is the output from running the demo code.
Gnarf(a=123)
Bork(b=Hello World)

A: If the structure really is that simple I'd be tempted to parse the top two levels (foo and the class attribute of bar) myself using an XMLStreamReader, then hand the reader off to the JAXB unmarshaller to parse each bar, assembling the results into a list. I wouldn't bother trying to parse the outer envelope layers using JAXB directly.

Paper: Activating a collectivistic orientation conducive to curbing COVID‐19
Dec 8, 2021 8:00 am by Phil Ciciora | Business and law editor | 217-333-2177Business
The activation of a collectivistic orientation, in which people construe the self as interdependent with others, is a key cultural factor that promotes behavior aimed at curbing the spread of COVID‐19, says research co-written by Carlos Torelli, the Zimmerman Faculty Fellow at the Gies College of Business at Illinois.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new paper co-written by a team of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign experts in cross-cultural consumer behavior finds a key cultural factor that promotes behavior aimed at curbing the spread of COVID‐19.
The activation of a collectivistic orientation – in which people construe the self as interdependent with others and are motivated to adjust their demands accordingly – is negatively associated with the spread of COVID‐19 and positively associated with the expectation to engage in widely publicized behaviors such as masking and vaccination that limit the spread of the virus, says published research from Carlos Torelli, the Zimmerman Faculty Fellow at the Gies College of Business at Illinois.
"There is a cultural dimension to collectivism, both at the country level and at the individual level, that's conducive to controlling COVID-19," said Torelli, a professor of business administration and a co-author of the paper. "It's somewhat counterintuitive in that collectivism often conjures images of large gatherings and big networks of people – which, to be frank, sound like super-spreader events.
"It's true that people in cultures that value collectivism tend to congregate more and are physically closer to a larger network of people – but it's also true that they focus a lot on what they think people in their networks ought to be doing to regulate their behavior. And that's really what's driving this control of the spread in places that are more collectivistic or people who think in more collectivistic terms."

"We all possess collectivistic and individualistic tendencies; it's just that our cultural environment pushes us to exhibit one more than the other," said Yafei Guo, a U. of I. graduate student and co-author of the paper. "In collectivistic societies, people construe the self as primarily interdependent with others and are motivated to adjust to the demands of others, particularly so in public settings. But we all have the ability to switch back and forth between being more individualistic at times and more collectivistic at other times. If we push the collective side and make it especially salient, then we're more likely to pay attention to what others think and realize that we're all in this together. From a health policy perspective, that's quite powerful."
Results from six studies conducted in Hong Kong and the U.S. demonstrated that the endorsement of a collectivistic orientation is positively associated with the likelihood to engage in widely publicized COVID-19 mitigation behaviors.
"The effects were robust and emerged by measuring collectivism both at the country level and at the individual level," Torelli said. "The fact that our studies revealed similar patterns of relations between collectivism and the likelihood to engage in behaviors to prevent the spread of COVID‐19 at those two different levels suggests that activating a collectivistic orientation by, for example, reminding people about their responsibilities to their group membership can blunt the transmission of COVID‐19."
The research has implications for health care marketing and how to craft messages for public health campaigns that are likely to elicit compliance behavior such as masking and vaccination, the authors said.
"A key challenge for marketers working in preventive health is understanding how people value such health products, which tends to be more self‐oriented and motivated by emotions such as an individual's peace of mind," Torelli said. "Our findings point to a more other-oriented source of value for engaging in preventive behaviors. Tapping into collectivism will positively contribute to the adoption of behaviors to prevent the spread of COVID‐19, particularly so when communicating the widespread belief about the importance of masking, getting vaccinated or even getting booster shots."
"That's why you have ads in a collectivist culture like Hong Kong emphasizing the importance of vaccination for the well-being of the community, or why we have the 'All In' campaign in the state of Illinois," Guo said. "Both are trying to activate a collectivistic orientation by making an appeal to people about group membership, about thinking about something larger than the individual."
Hyewon Cho, of Sogang University, was a co-author of the research.
The paper was published in the journal Psychology & Marketing.

Науково-дослідна програма — одиниця наукового знання; сукупність і послідовність теорій, пов'язаних спільністю основоположних ідей і принципів.
Це ключова концепція методології науки Лакатоша.

Лакатош описав науку як конкурентну боротьбу «науково-дослідних програм», що складаються з «жорсткого ядра» апріорно прийнятих в системі фундаментальних припущень, які не можуть бути спростованими всередині програми, і «запобіжного пояса» допоміжних гіпотез ad hoc, що видозмінюються і пристосовуються до контрприкладів програми. Еволюція конкретної програми відбувається за рахунок видозміни та уточнення «запобіжного пояса», руйнування ж «жорсткого ядра» теоретично означає скасування програми і заміну її іншою.

Проблема зростання наукового знання завжди займала розуми вчених і мислителів, незалежно від їх поглядів і уподобань або приналежності до різних напрямів науки або релігії. У деяких випадках ця проблема є ключовою для всієї системи тих чи інших наукових пошуків.
