British bank mistakenly pays out $ 175 million on Christmas Day – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports
By On Jan 2, 2022
(CNN) – UK bank Santander got in the Christmas spirit this year when it mistakenly disbursed a total of £ 130 million (US $ 175 million) to customers on December 25th.
The total payment has been split across 75,000 transactions for around 2,000 corporate and commercial customers, Santander said in a statement released Thursday.
"We are sorry that, due to a technical problem, some payments from our corporate customers were mistakenly duplicated in the accounts of the recipients," the statement said.
"None of our clients have been left out of their pockets at any point and we will be working hard with many banks across the UK in the coming days to restore the duplicated transactions."
Santander blamed a deadline problem for the double payments, which the bank said was "quickly identified and resolved".
The transactions were both regular and one-time payments, which could include supplier payments or wages, she added.
Santander is said to be working to reclaim funds from recipient banks through the "bank error recovery process" and has processes in place to reclaim funds in error directly from recipients.
Santander UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of the World Bank Banco Santander based in Spain.
The UK operation has 14 million active customers and 616 branches, according to its website.
Although $ 175 million is a significant sum to be accidentally paid out, it pales in comparison to the $ 500 million that US bank Citibank lost to "one of the biggest mistakes in banking history."
The bank accidentally sent $ 900 million to cosmetics company Revlon lenders and went to court in August 2020 to reclaim around $ 500 million that had not been voluntarily repaid.
But in February, a US District Court judge ruled that the bank could not reclaim the money.

Q: Why won't random.choice generate a random list? My goal is a simple password generator. I couldn't find any references to random.choice() failing to randomly select list elements, so it must be something wrong with the structure of my code.
Here is an example of the desired output, assuming I choose '2' as my password complexity:
['X', '$', 3, 8, 'd', '+', '_', 4, 'r', '%', 'E, 2]
import string
import random
def password():
    password = []
    strength = input('How strong, from 1 to 3?')
    symbol_library= ["&", '+', "#","*", "£", "$", "+", "-", "."]
    gen_integer= password.append(random.randint(0,9))
    gen_letter= password.append(random.choice(string.ascii_letters))
    gen_letter2= password.append(random.choice(string.ascii_letters.lower()))
    gen_symbols = password.append(random.choice(symbol_library))
    func_list= [gen_integer, gen_letter, gen_symbols]
    func_list2 =  [gen_integer, gen_letter, gen_letter2, gen_symbols]
    if strength == '1':
        while len(password)<8:
            password.append(random.choice(func_list))

        print(password)

    elif strength == '2':
        while len(password)<12:
             password.append(random.choice(func_list2))

        print(password)

example of an output which does vary randomly from one run to the next, but does not generate randomized list elements up until the list is the given input target length (8 and 12 respectively)
How strong, from 1 to 3? 2
[6, 'X', 'v', '&', None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]

A: All these are None, since .append() usually returns nothing:
gen_integer= password.append(random.randint(0,9))
gen_letter= password.append(random.choice(string.ascii_letters))
gen_letter2= password.append(random.choice(string.ascii_letters.lower()))
gen_symbols = password.append(random.choice(symbol_library))

Even then, this code:
func_list= [gen_integer, gen_letter, gen_symbols]
...
password.append(random.choice(func_list))

does not call any of the gen_smth functions, it just adds the function, well, pointer to the function to your password instead of letter, punctuation or a number.

A: password = []
gotcha = password.append('something')
type(gotcha)
Out[25]: NoneType
empty = random.choice([None, None, None, None])
type(empty)
Out[26]: NoneType

In python, when you append to a list - return type is None

A: It looks like you expect this:
gen_integer = password.append(random.randint(0,9))

to create an actual function that will do the operation on the right whenever you use it. That's not the way it works. Instead, it calls password.append to append a specific value, then stores the return value None into the variable gen_integer.
That's why you always get four values followed by four or eight None values, since random.choice(func_list) is choosing a random choice from a set of values that are all None.
Python has the capability to do this function indirection (they're called lambdas) but it may be better to simply define the functions directly and call them randomly (I've hardcoded the strength temporarily so I don't have to continuously enter it, and turned the password into a string):
import string
import random

def gen_integer():
    return f'{random.randint(0, 9)}'

def gen_symbol():
    return random.choice('&+#*£$+-.')

def gen_letter():
    return random.choice(string.ascii_letters)

def gen_letter2():
    return random.choice(string.ascii_letters.lower())

def make_password():
    func_list  = [gen_integer, gen_letter, gen_symbol]
    func_list2 = [gen_integer, gen_letter, gen_symbol, gen_letter2]

    password = ''
    strength = '2' # input('How strong (1 = weak, anything else is strong)?')
    if strength == '1':
        while len(password) < 8:
            password + random.choice(func_list)()
    else:
        while len(password) < 12:
             password += random.choice(func_list2)()

    return password

print(make_password())

A few sample runs show what you can get:
us6£3r8£a8R0
73s0l&73l9#F
0+0lg£h76&zn
6.4.3.gx+gbb
4h7Ep3-2mjp#
yCwql**8&C4z
09ll02jq£d4+
+tg75$#Dgj50
aEX8D1m+L5+j
727j#5eP59ea

If you do want to use lambdas, you can do so with:
import string
import random

def make_password():
    gen_integer = lambda: f'{random.randint(0, 9)}'
    gen_symbol  = lambda: random.choice('&+#*£$+-.')
    gen_letter  = lambda: random.choice(string.ascii_letters)
    gen_letter2 = lambda: random.choice(string.ascii_letters.lower())

    func_list  = [gen_integer, gen_letter, gen_symbol]
    func_list2 = [gen_integer, gen_letter, gen_symbol, gen_letter2]

    password = ''
    strength = '2' # input('How strong (1 = weak, anything else is strong)?')
    if strength == '1':
        while len(password) < 8:
            password + random.choice(func_list)()
    else:
        while len(password) < 12:
             password += random.choice(func_list2)()

    return password

print(make_password())

Trained immune cells raise prospect of universal cancer vaccine
By Nick Lavars
Trained immune cells raise pro...
Engineering immune cells to attack cancer is a form of treatment that is showing great promise, but it is complex because it involves extracting and modifying T cells before injecting them back into the body. Scientists have now demonstrated a way to not just arm immune cells while still inside the body, but equip them with the ability to fight any kind of cancer, providing an early proof-of-concept for a cheap, universal vaccine for the deadly disease.
Known as adoptive immunotherapy, the idea that our immune cells can be engineered to fight cancer has been explored by scientists since the 1980's. Some seriously encouraging advances have been made in the last few years, most recently through a trial involving patients with advanced blood cancer that yielded unprecedented response rates of more than 93 percent.
The technique works by harvesting the body's T cells, which play a central role in the immune response, and arming them with cancer-recognizing molecules through gene transfer. Known as chimeric antigen receptors, these molecules give the modified cells the ability to spot proteins on cancer cells once they are injected back into the body, at which point they latch on and start to kill them off.
While hugely promising, this method relies on the unique properties of blood cancer for the modified T cells to lock onto their target. Scientists have been unable to apply this approach to solid tumors where such clear markers aren't readily available, meaning the immune cells have trouble distinguishing healthy cells from cancerous ones.
But German scientists are now reporting an immunotherapy breakthrough that is significant in more ways than one. Led by Professor Ugur Sahin from Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, the team says it has worked out how to train immune calls in a way that is not only cheap and fast, but can be tuned to attack any type of cancer.
They begin with a snippet of the targeted cancer's genetic RNA code, which they encase in a fatty membrane. The scientists were able to give these particles, which they have dubbed RNA-LPX, a negative charge by fine-tuning the ratio of RNA to fatty membrane. Once injected into the bloodstream, this mild electrical charge guides the particles towards the body's dendritic immune cells, which are cells that specify targets for the immune system to attack.
Once they come together, the dendritic cells react to the RNA code to bring about the production of specific cancer antigens, which are molecules that brand a foreign invader as a threat so that other immune cells can get to work. This kickstarts an immune response and the production of a throng of T cells ready to take up the fight.
The scientists tested the new technology in three melanoma patients and mice, not with the aim of eliminating tumors but to establish whether they could steer the immune system in their direction. And they found that it did indeed induce a "profound" expansion of T cells, suggesting that the technique can help the body's defences catch some of the many cancers that slip through the net.
But perhaps the most promising aspect of this new technology is its versatility. "Virtually any tumor antigen can be encoded by RNA," the researchers write, meaning that so long as a tumor sample can be taken and a genetic profile can be created, the RNA-LPX particles can be programmed to fight virtually any kind of cancer.
With such a small sample size, there is clearly still some ways to go to prove its effectiveness and for a universal vaccine to enter clinical use. But evidence of an approach that stimulates an army of multi-cancer-fighting T cells that would otherwise lay dormant while being surrounded by the enemy is some exciting new territory.
The research paper was published in the journal Nature.

the pharma industry will kill anything like that as they make millions out of their non working treatments!
Doc Blake June 2, 2016 10:49 AM
Interesting, our immune system has been doing this all along. Cancer cells show up, and our immune system attacks and kills them. It is only when our immunity becomes weak that this very fine cancer defense system is unable to preform this function.
But modern medicine doesn't have time for that, that would admit that the cause of cancer is linked to a weakened immunity. And anyone with half a brain knows that when you understand that obvious fact, then the simple cure is staring you right in the face!...But that simple cure is standing in the way of another vaccine, and the big buck$, well dha! ---Can't wait to see the inflated price tag, and what kind of bizarre side effects that will bring?
Tanstar June 2, 2016 11:07 AM
This wouldn't be a universal vaccine, but a universal way to make targeted vaccines. A great advance, for certain, but the title made it sound like something anyone could be injected with so they wouldn't have to worry about ever getting cancer.

Here's another "Pharma-Bro" can't get to it and immediately turn fast and cheap into horrifically expensive and available only after your net worth is verified.

It is NOT T-cells which initiate immune response and kill cancer cells!!! That function belongs to MACROPHAGES. One of the best thesis on the topic of basics in immunology and importance of macrophages can be found at: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a446266.pdf The title of this work: "In Vitro toxicity of aluminum nanoparticles in rat alveolar macrophages". It seems like the official 'science', is urgently trying to redefine day as night, in these terrible times of global lies...
The author of this article can't interpret 'science' properly. Please read the abstract of the Nature article. There is not a single word about T-cells fighting cancer. There is however an interesting link to macrophages... As said in previous comment, macrophages seem to be the only immune block, which works INDEPENDENTLY from antibodies, the very reason why vaccinations are applied in the first place!! Thus while having working macrophages, activated ONLY by GcMAF (reason for last year death of Dr. Bradstreet, one of the best specialists on the topic of autism), one wouldn't need any vaccinations, possibly, and while having working macrophages, one would directly KILL THE CANCER CELLS, in a HEALTHY, NORMAL WAY, without ANY ARTIFICIAL GENETICS INVOLVED!!! The toxic and cancerous vaccine adjuvants are the ones which contribute to 'killing' macrophages, in order to make the entire antibody production possible, for a short while, while using huge amount of energy to produce them. For the entire CANCER SCAM IN MODERN MEDICINE, please watch Ty Bollinger documetaries : "The Truth About Cancer". >130 scientists dare to open their mouths and speak out the truth..

I can see almost the entire medical field not getting behind this due to potential profit loss... If you think the amount of money arrayed against the Affordable Care Act was a record breaker, wait till this hits the presses.
guzmanchinky June 2, 2016 11:09 PM
That is fantastic! And no, I don't agree that this will be swept under some pharma company rug. Too many conspiracy theorists out there... Innovations like this (in a time like this, where information is dispersed globally, instantly, through mediums such as this one) can never be fully contained by anyone.

U.D.O.: 'Decadent' Cover Artwork Unveiled
U.D.O., the German metal band led by former ACCEPT frontman Udo Dirkschneider, will release a new studio album, "Decadent", in Europe on January 26 via AFM. The cover artwork for the CD can be seen below.
With recordings having taken place in Udo's current home, Spanish island Ibiza, and also at Redhead Audio Productions in Wilhelmshaven, this new album looks set to be yet another great statement of intent from a rock idol whose place in rock history is already well cemented.
"Decadent" track listing:
01. Speeder
02. Decadent
03. House Of Fake
04. Mystery
05. Pain
06. Secrets In Paradise
07. Meaning Of Life
08. Breathless
09. Under Your Skin
10. Untouchable
11. Rebels Of The Night
12. Words In Flames
"Decadent" will be made available in the following formats: digipak, standard CD, black vinyl, colored vinyl, and as a limited-edition fanbox.
U.D.O.'s most recent studio CD, "Steelhammer", was released on May 24, 2013 via AFM Records. The effort was produced by Dirkschneider and Fitty Wienhold.
U.D.O.'s latest concert DVD, "Steelhammer - Live From Moscow", came out in May. The first live release of U.D.O.'s new lineup (with a Russian bandmember) was filmed on September 28, 2013 at the Arena Hall in Moscow to highlight the "Steelhammer" tour.
The band put together an exceptional setlist, including many classics that haven't been played for a long time, fan favorites and tracks from "Steelhammer".
"Steelhammer - Live From Moscow" was made available as DVD/2-CD, Bluray/2-CD and triple-vinyl in Russian national colors (tricolor).
U.D.O. in 2012 announced the addition of guitarist Andrey Smirnov to the group's ranks. He replaced Stefan Kaufmann, who left the group for health reasons.

Here San Proper and The Mole return following solo EPs, this time with Hreno for a three-track EP, Friendly Tears. "Friendly Tears" leading figure in the house scene, Dekmantel regular Tom Trago; we're treated to soul-drenched house driven by swinging organic drums, infectious funk licks and hooky synth lines before the "Chunkless Mix" strips things back to focus on the '80s tinged synth work, delayed vocal murmurs and minimalistic percussion. "On The Floor" rounds out the package, retaining a similar aesthetic with choppy guitar melodies, penetrating bass stabs, crunchy rhythms and resonant arpeggio synths ebbing and flowing dynamically throughout.


The scars of childbirth were still healing on Amelia Reyes Jimenez's stomach in 2008 when police came to her Phoenix apartment and took her three-month-old daughter from her arms.
Three and a half years later, Reyes Jimenez and her four children have become statistics in the U.S. crackdown on illegal immigration. Each year thousands of children of undocumented immigrants, like Amelia's kids, wind up in foster care when their parents are arrested for immigration violations. Some are even adopted by U.S. citizens while their parents are held in federal detention centers or deported back to their native countries.

My heart doesn't bleed for this criminal who knew that there was a possibility she would be separated from her anchor babies if she was caught by ICE.
What kind of "mother" would knowingly put her children in that situation?
An Illegal Alien mother that's who.
Eventually bad things happen to those who don't follow and respect the laws. If she stayed where she belonged she wouldn't be in this situation.
For every Illegal alien sob story like this there is an equal one from an American family victimized by Illegal aliens.
Simple solution, stay the hell in your own country and you wouldn't be dealing with this.
Actually one child has appears to have vanished .... the 13 year old disabled son Caesar. I wonder how the police found out he was alone in the apartment?
I really feel terrible for the children, for it is not their fault in any way. It is terrible, but is this a lesson learned or to be learned, to those who break laws willingly.
It is awful, but maybe this is a consequence that should be taught to all of those who so willingly and knowingly break the laws by coming here illegally. Is this fair to the children! these Mothers, need to ask themselves that very question. The children are innocent in this, and i do blame the parents.
Once again another story that involves a disabled child.
Obviously someone reported them for child neglect - leaving the disabled child home alone. Americans who get reported for child neglect have child services breathing down their neck for months after the report is made if the child(ren) remain in the home. Children that are taken from the home end up with the same results, they get lost in the system.
All it takes is one child to anchor in the US. The income from one child isn't enought to feed 3 mouths, so continue to have children to up the welfare.
In cases such as this the parent(s) should be scheduled for immediate deportation and given the choice to either take their children back with them or surrender them to child services. More than likely surrender would be the first choice. At least it gives the children a chance for a better life if adopted. It appears that she chose to fight the case and had to know the consequences or possible outcome. She's working in Mexico so I guess there are jobs there, but not a government that would provide the "benefits" that the US does.
No mention of the father and where he is.
My heart goes out for the children who are the innocent victims and suffer because of the actions of their illegal parents.
What the writer of the article failed to mention is that parents facing deportation have the choice of taking their children with them, unless the children have been removed from their care for some reason, like abuse, neglect, etc.

I toss and turn, replaying the scenes from weeks past, then freak out as I glance at the time, only a few hours till I have to get up.
As I walk towards class the next day, I feel myself tense, tighten inward. I feel a bit sick.
Why do I do it? Why am I here? What's wrong with me? I'm wasted here. I'm not appreciated.
How do I stay true to Me – How do I stay true to my Strengths and Passions with this class?
It's a challenging class and we're not quite connecting. You've been here too, right, or at least know colleagues who have.
What steps did you take to move forward?
How did you get back your positivity? How did you maintain it?
How did you change how you engaged with the class?
How did you stay true to yourself – to your Strengths and Passions – when facing a wall of resistance?
For me, I had to consciously change my state, the way I was thinking and feeling, before entering the class.
To start with, I recalled my prior moments of positivity. My moments of connecting, of affecting change, of making a real difference in the classroom. Even just a few moments of happy memories helped to dissipate some of my tension and lift my spirit.
I will ask other students to build on what's said, and provide scaffolding to enable them to do so (through the use of sentence frames, for example).
This STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF technique aims to Expand the Space for positivity as well as strength-focused ideas and strategies.
It turns up their volume and amplifies them.
It affirms and validates these ideas and practices for use in this class. In so doing, it sets the tone for the present and the future – if the approach is maintained.
And should a negative or limited thought be expressed, we acknowledge it, showing that we've understood their core message. Where appropriate we may need to refer to School Policies. We then move back to more positive ground.
Should students seek to take us in an opposing direction, we re-direct back to the more positive, expansive focus.
For students unaccustomed to having the spotlight shone on their strengths, or a focus on positivity, it can take time to get used to the practice.
Some students may see themselves as 'less than', incapable, or unskilled – or be positioned as such by their peers.
If I can offer a piece or two of advice here: Stay True to Yourself and Persist, Persist, Persist with your Positivity Bent.
In one of my classes, it took until week 8 till it completely clicked: When I could finally say – we're REALLY connecting – in a positive sense. We're not drowning in sarcasm, bitterness, resignation, and disengagement.
I had nearly given up, thinking all my positivity (along with the positivity of some sparks within the class) was for naught.
Each week I'd despair, 'what's the use? It's not working.' I actually thought I couldn't truly be me in this class.
I have to admit though it wasn't all negativity. There were small slivers of hope along the way: a comment here or there, a smirk, a 'thanks for the class Greg' remark.
I'm not sure why something CLICKED. My ideas seemed to cut-through, students made links with previous classes, students revealed more of themselves, they laughed far more often, and commented favourably on the class. They even said goodbye to me after each class.
The tone, the feeling was totally different.
I remember thinking: Something's changed here – big time. I could literally pin-point the moment it happened – it was so tangible, so noticeable.
We never ever looked back from this point.
Deep, deep breaths which end in a smile before class. The realisation that it is not the be-all and end-all; they are equally as human as you and you as them. Remind them of this, softly, openly. Create a feeling of trust where your needs are met as a teacher while their needs and wants as students are being met. Show them that their voice matters and the effect it can have on the learning environment. Find their buttons and turn 'em in every way possible until they 'click' into place. It'll come, trust you, trust your abilities and trust your class.
Cheers Christine. Yes those deep, deep breaths have helped me a few times as well. Voice, ah yes, that's critical isn't it. Finding ways to create resonance is indeed a two-way street.

So I know we have all heard this story probably hundreds of times but I really want to dig into it to, not only help us to gain an understanding of who Jesus is and how he calls us to live, but also to encourage us as we strive to live a life of service.
So we start in the first verse when it says that Jesus is pouring water into a basin and He takes off this towel that was wrapped around his waist and he start washing the dirty feet of his disciples. I mean that is just a crazy thing to even think about like, these disciples are in the presence of the one true king the heavenly father and they just got back from traveling on dirty ground, their feet are torn up and dirty and extremely gross but they are in awe at the fact that they're standing in front of the Prince of Peace.
And isn't that such a profound analogy for our lives. We are these dirty, torn up people, our hearts are just disgusting in the sight of the Lord and all messed up and ruined. Yet with all that dirt and all that mess of being a human, we find ourselves standing in the presence of the one true king this holy and blameless, literally perfect person. Who we do not even deserve to say His name and yet were standing in front of him. Like that, in and of itself, is crazy.
Then the King got on His knees and he pulls off his towel he was wearing and he picks up these crummy disgusting feet that I know I would never want to touch, and he starts to clean them.
And this is exactly what the Lord is calling us to do. He is calling us to lay down our pride and serve.
Service, no matter the size, is a demonstration of God's love towards us and, when we serve, we look the MOST like Jesus.
What will be your "Water in the basin"? How will you serve like Jesus this week?

Boosting Nerve Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury with Axons
Rachel Lutz
Spinal cord injury regeneration may be possible harnessing the brain repair mechanism known as axons, according to findings published in The Journal of Neuroscience.
Researchers from University of South Carolina examined RNA function in order to test the ability of axons to aid regeneration of nerves. The team set out to find a way to bridge what they called the "regenerative gap" between the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.
"If you injure a peripheral nerve, it will regenerate, spontaneously," explained lead researcher Jeff Twiss in a press release. "It moves quite slowly, so it's one of our objectives to speed it up, but it does regenerate. In contrast, with an injury to your spinal cord, it's not going to regenerate."
Over a five year period, the team focused on learning how the nerve constructs proteins. Any kind of re growth generated by the axons were noted as important building blocks, according to the researchers. Axons, the scientists learned, are responsible for communication between DNA and the proteins it can be converted into.
"The messenger RNA‑‑these templates for making proteins‑‑actually go out into the nerve in the peripheral nervous system. When you injure a nerve, you need a lot of new protein, and we've shown that the messenger RNA is there to support regeneration of the nerve," Twiss continued. "Although the neuroscience literature had said that that doesn't occur in the spinal cord, we wanted to apply what we had learned in the peripheral nervous system and ask if it occurs when the central nervous system regenerates."
By grafting a peripheral nerve into the space between severed spinal cords in an animal model, the researchers found nerve regeneration, while limited, was moderately successful. The messenger RNAs were responsible for interacting with the axons, as hypothesized. The researchers further hypothesized that the RNAs likely are used in the process of making new proteins as well.
The researchers added that these findings are important because spinal cord injury treatment is currently underdeveloped. The new approaches could contribute to better therapies and treatments, which can aid progress in this area. In the future, the researchers want to find a way to increase the regenerative capacity of the axons in such a way that it fine tunes the nerve, without having to surgically implant a patient's peripheral nerve in as a graft. They believe that if they can understand the molecular mechanisms behind regeneration, they will have success in finding easier ways to boost regeneration.

Vietnam: Exploring The Largest Cave In The World
Deep inside Hung Ton Cave, a wooden ladder dropped iom down into darkness. As I stood alone at the bottom waiting for my fellow trekkers to descend, only the faint sound of muffled voices drifted from above. I scanned with my headtorch: the slate-grey of the cave wall was punctuated with bright dots, shining like diamonds; closer inspection revealed them to be the reflective eyes of huntsman spiders, each with leg spans as large as my outstretched hand. As I trained my beam on a particularly large specimen, the quiet of the cave was abruptly broken. Shouts of "Snake! Snake!" came from the top of the ladder. We had been promised an Indiana Jones-style adventure and, just 30 minutes into the first of the treks many caves, that promise was being delivered in spades.
Welcome to the world's biggest cave – Hang Ton sits in the wider Tu Lan Cave area in Quang Binh province, a wild region of barely penetrable jungle-clad limestone karst that occupies Vietnam's skinny waist-land, close to the border with Laos. The area is riddled with hundreds of deep caves, including one of the largest in the world – Hang Son Doong -which contains a cavern so tall that a skyscraper could fit inside it. A jungle also thrives in its vast interior, providing a habitat for monkeys and flying foxes. I'd been to the area before, and had met Howard and Deb Limbert, members of the British Cave Research Association. They were part of the team that first explored Son Doong, having been led to its mouth by local man, Mr Ho Khanh.
It's thought that many more caves may yet be discovered in Quang Binh's karst landscape.
"When Mr Khanh spoke of the entrance to the cave, I knew we could be onto something extremely special," Howard had told me. It was the mapping of Son Doong and its opening to tourists in 2013 that was the catalyst for the establishment of Vietnam's newest adventure playground in the area around it. Howard is a former biomedical scientist who speaks in a soft, measured Yorkshire lilt; that is, until he gets onto his favourite subject: the caves. Then, he is in his element, and it's near-impossible not to be swept along by his enthusiasm. "I've caved all over the world, but this place is special," he said. "The people I work with here are real jungle folk – they are hard, hard men, but sociable and deeply honest.
Sitting around a campfire with these guys, singing and enjoying some rice wine in the evening, adds an extra layer to an expedition." But while the massive Son Doong Cave has grabbed all the headlines and visitors, Howard, Deb and other British cavers have been busy scouting the area for alternative adventures: "I'm convinced there could be something even bigger here," said Howard. "However, it's not all about being the biggest – we've also found plenty of long, river caves for people to explore which we call the Tu Lan adventure. We're talking about swimming through caverns full of fascinating formations and getting a real Indiana (ones feeling. You should try it."
Eden on the edge – Those words were still fresh in my mind when, later that year, I travelled back to Phong Nha, the small town that is basecamp for the area's trekking adventures, with a view to tackling Tun Lan myself. I checked in at the homestay owned by the discoverer of Son Doong's entrance, Mr Ho Khanh. Not long ago, the road in front of his house was a rutted track peppered with old arms and ammo rusting in the scorching sun. Today it is smoothly paved, and his homestay business is growing. The money that the caves have brought to the town is evident. Nearby, the road crosses the Ho Chi Minh Highway West, which snakes close to the original Ho Chi Minh Trail – a key supply artery during the Vietnam War. We turned onto a side road bordered by glowing paddy fields as gaggles of school kids wearing bright-white cottons and carrying red plastic stools weaved their way around us.
Groups of farmers worked the land, their conical hats bobbing: the women hacked the crops with scythes while the men carried the bundles away. Once we were geared up with waterproof bags, lifejackets, headtorches and other supplies, we headed toward the caves. As we walked along a muddy farm track, our guide, Bamboo, pointed out the height of the last major flood in 2010. Looking around at the flat expanse between the hills, what Bamboo described was unfathomable. "The waters swelled to such a height that tall stilt-houses were totally submerged and countless cattle were killed," he said. As a result, safe houses have now been built on higher ground and, in the nearby villages, numerous small huts perch on buoyant barrels, ready to be loaded with valuables should the waters rage again.
After a hot jungle hike back to civilisation, it's only right to celebrate with a plate of delicious barbecue pork.
At the tail end of the dry season under a cerulean sky, the river still flowed strongly, meandering through buffalo-filled fields in the shadow of the vibrant-green hills. After a brief stop under the beating sun to photograph this Eden-like scene, we waded across the river and reached a rocky path that pitched skyward over a pass before descending into a hidden valley. "Illegal loggers set this path up before we came here," Bamboo explained, pointing out the planks of wood they used to drag up timber. "They would use motorcycle-engine-powered winches to haul massive pieces of wood from the jungle." Illegal logging and hunting for animals is still rife in the area, but the jobs provided through tourism are doing much to make the practice less of a necessity.
Going down – Before long we arrived at the mouth of the first cave: Hang Ton. Safety instructions were issued, then we cautiously stepped into the darkness. Grouped together at the bottom of a 6m-long ladder, a hush descended. In the daylight, conversation had flowed, but in the eerie darkness we stood quietly, training our torch beams on the glistening rock formations around us. As we approached the river that flows inside the cavern, the only sound was the drip-drip of droplets falling from stalactites onto the water's surface.

Category Archives: Prince Edward Island
PEI (Canada) 2011
Provincial elections were held on Prince Edward Island (PEI) on October 4, 2011. All 27 members of the Canadian province's Legislative Assembly were up for reelection. Since 1996, PEI uses single-member districts. Prior to that, it used two-member districts. PEI is the smallest province and the least populated of Canada's ten provinces, with only 141,551 inhabitants. This makes PEI politics very parochial and grassroots when compared to other sub-national jurisdictions. An MLA represents roughly 5,000 people, meaning that most voters know their MLA personally. Politics on PEI is still marked by unusually high partisan identification with either of the two dominant parties, the Liberals or the Progressive Conservatives (PC), both of which are centrist parties in practice. But politics are not all that polarized: the island is relatively homogeneous, with no stark class divisions or history of labour unrest. The only main division on the island has traditionally been religious, between Catholics and Protestants who both make up roughly half of the island's population.
In electoral terms, this relative social and political homogeniety has meant that elections in PEI tend to be very lopsided: governing parties win huge majorities with the opposition being kept to a tiny caucus. The last time the seat count was close was in 1978 (the election split 17-15 between the Liberals and PCs). Since 1959, Conservatives and Liberals have governed relatively equal lengths of time, and a government usually governs for up to three terms but never for a single term (the last single-term government was a Tory government between 1931 and 1935). The only exception to this pattern since 1959 is a four-term Liberal government between 1966 and 1978. After three terms, voter fatigue is high and the governing party loses, like the PCs did after three terms in 2007. They don't lose in landslides, but because the island is so homogeneous, a change in government usually gives the then-opposition a huge majority. Most recently, in 2007, the PCs won 41% of the vote to the Liberal's 53%, but the seats split 23-4 for the Liberals. Third parties are weak: the only third party to win a seat was the island's terribly weak NDP in 1996. The PEI NDP is the weakest provincial NDP in the country, winning only 2% of the vote in 2007. It fails to run a full slate of candidates, and has no strong organization on the ground.
PEI is governed since 2007 by Robert Ghiz, a Liberal, and son of former Liberal Premier Joe Ghiz who served between 1986 and 1993. Ghiz has been a pretty decently popular Premier, and his reelection was never in jeopardy. However, a dull campaign turned violent in the last few days as opposition leader Olive Crane seized the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) scandal and used it against the Liberals. In the PNP program, immigrants invested their money into PEI businesses in return for immigrant status, but the program spun out of hand and a lot of the investment ended up in the pockets of MLAs and even Ghiz's extended family. The PCs gained 5 points in polls in a month with the scandal, and probably spoiled Ghiz's hope of having a clean-sweep of all 27 seats. The NDP failed to nominate a full slate (14/27, less than in 2007), and slumped in polls after peaking at 13% in June in the wake of the federal NDP's orange crush in May.
The results are as follows. Changes from the last election, though the Liberals gained the PC seat of Belfast-Murray River in a 2007 by-election despite it being the seat of former PC Premier Pat Binns.
Liberal 51.39% (-1.54%) winning 22 seats (-1)
Greens 4.35% (+1.31%) winning 0 seats (nc)
NDP 3.16% (+1.2%) winning 0 seats (nc)
Island 0.91% (+0.91%) winning 0 seats
CBC has the results in its interactive map thing. Barely anything changed in this election. Despite another lopsided seat count, PEI remains very much a two-party province with the opposition accounting for over 40% of the vote despite taking only 5 seats. Ghiz's reelection was never once in doubt as Premiers in PEI – or in the Maritimes and a lot of other provinces for that matter – usually need to try very, very hard to lose reelection after only one term in office. What is slightly surprising is his reduced majority, but the PNP scandal likely hurt the Liberals in the final days of the campaign. Ghiz will return for another term, which could be his last given the traditional cycle of government on the island. The opposition returns strengthened, which will save Olive Crane from leadership trouble within the PCs. The PCs can take this result as a victory, as they enlarged their caucus whereby in most second-term reelections for PEI governments, the opposition usually loses a seat or two.
The only major division on this homogeneous island has been religion. Traditionally, Catholics, concentrated in westernmost Prince County have voted Liberal while Protestants, who are important in easternmost Kings County voted Conservative. This is not always the rule, and sometimes you find Kings voting Liberal while Prince votes Conservative. This is actually what happened federally in 2008 and 2011: Egmont, which covers Prince County, was the only riding to elect a Conservative. But provincially, the rule holds a bit better these days. The PCs, like in 2007, did best in Kings. They did win one seat in Prince, Tignish-Palmer Road, which happens to be the former riding of federal Conservative MP Gail Shea. The Liberals did very well and had a huge swing in their favour in Evangeline-Miscouche, where their incumbent MLA Sonny Gallant won 77%. Evangeline-Miscouche is the core of PEI's small Acadian French community and is traditionally Liberal. Overall, the PCs lost two seats they won in 2007 including Belfast-Murray River which they lost to the Liberals in a 2007 by-election and failed to win back. They gained three seats from the Liberals.
The Greens and NDP both increased their support by 1% apiece. Again, the Greens ended up ahead of the NDP likely because they ran 22 candidates to the NDP's 14. The PEI Greens are rather left-wing and into stuff like organic food. Both parties did best in urban Charlottetown, the Green leader Sharon Labchuk received 12.9% in Charlottetown-Victoria Park while the NDP did best in Charlottetown-Lewis Point with 10%.
October 3 also saw elections in the Northwest Territories (NWT), also in Canada. NWT uses non-partisan consensus government, so it's hard to report on elections there. A cabinet minister apparently lost his riding, while the NWT will get a new Premier as the incumbent retired this year. Nunavut also uses consensus government, but the Yukon – which votes next Tuesday – has partisan government.
Manitoba votes today, October 4. Ontario votes Thursday, October 6. Newfoundland and Yukon vote Tuesday, October 11. Saskatchewan votes in a bit over a month.

The role of testing is to make the invisible world visible. Since its founding, Fujirebio has continued to serve global healthcare by offering high-precision testing equipment and highly sensitive reagents that measure trace amounts more reliably.
The world's first syphilis reagent launched by Fujirebio in 1966, Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination (TPHA) kit, is still trusted as the golden standard in countries across the world more than 50 years later. TPHA and other manual reagents have played a major role in the fight against infectious diseases, since they are easy to adopt in countries where the use of automated testing instrument is difficult due to the economic situation or lack of infrastructure. Continuing to provide such simple, low-cost and highly accurate products is in our roots and is our social responsibility as well.
Worldwide trends in healthcare show that dementia, cancer and lifestyle-related diseases have grown amidst economic growth and aging populations, bringing about social issues beyond infectious diseases. Fujirebio develops unique, new products and services such as the world's first Alzheimer's diagnostic product launched in Europe, which can assay with a fully automated system. We promote disease mechanism awareness that hepatitis B progresses to liver cirrhosis and then to liver cancer, and offer a hepatocellular carcinoma marker reagent in China, while we established a local subsidiary in India. Under Fujirebio Holdings founded in 2017, we strive to serve healthcare by pinpointing the medical needs in various countries.
Japan also has various healthcare issues, and improving the sustainability of local healthcare is becoming more important. Together with SRL, which handles clinical laboratory testing, Fujirebio can make the best proposals as a Miraca Group company to medical institutions and healthcare professionals and support local healthcare infrastructures through testing.
The products and services offered by Fujirebio and the Miraca Group exist to support a healthy and prosperous society. To keep fulfilling our social responsibilities, we comply with the relevant laws and regulations and reduce our environmental impact, as we wholeheartedly conduct our daily tasks. We will continue creating new value through the development and provision of unique products and collaboration within the Group.

Just as automakers like to periodically refresh their vehicle line up, they also like to refresh and update their dealership architecture and experience.
Under the tagline "Destination Porsche," the German carmaker has rolled out a new look with the goal of making its dealerships a central gathering place for the Porsche community and appealing to current as well as new customers.
The first prototype of the new concept is now on view in Palm Springs, California.
According to the carmaker, the concept for "Destination Porsche" is based on changing customer needs. The Porsche Centres will consist of several content areas that can be flexibly designed, and in which digital media can help address customers individually. They will become places to experience and touch the brand.
The customer journey through new Porsche dealerships runs along various themed modules that can be flexibly integrated and adapted. This makes the interior easy to customize towards regional or individual characteristics. The modules represent for instance current Product Highlights, E-Performance or Certified Pre-Owned cars. Another focus is on social spaces with a newly created lounge area where customers and fans can come together. Through a large window, they can glance into the workshop – similar to the "look inside the kitchen" in a restaurant.


John Barbirolli's professional career began at a cellist's desk in an orchestra and in a string quartet. Although he was a good enough cellist to give one of the early performances of the Elgar concerto (in the first performance of which in 1919 he played in the orchestra) he always intended that the conductor's rostrum should be his ultimate destination.
This CD features recordings of the John Barbirolli Chamber Orchestra made for HMV in the Small Queen's Hall, London between 1928 and 1929.
It is remarkable that John Barbirolli, a young and comparatively unknown conductor, should have recorded Elgar's 'Introduction and Allegro' within two years but it is a salutary reminder that it needed a string-player-conductor to perceive its greatness. His first recording was for NGS and then followed the HMV recording in 1929. Barbirolli himself said that Elgar spoke to him about the recording and said: 'I'd no idea it was such a big piece'. It sounds it, too, in the HMV performance reproduced here.
Barbirolli arranged a 'Suite for Strings' from music by Purcell for his own chamber orchestra to play – on this disc we hear the Hornpipe taken from the incidental music for 'The Married Beau'. Also included is the rarely heard suite The Merchant of Venice by Frederick Rosse.
Haydn's Symphony No.104 'London' played an important part in Barbirolli's career, for when in 1927 the the London Symphony Orchestra invited their former cellist to take the indisposed Beecham's place, he substituted it for the Mozart symphony that Beecham had planned.

Joan III de Jerusalem fou patriarca de Jerusalem del 516 al 524.

Va convocar un concili el 517 o 518 que es va celebrar a Jerusalem i en el qual va participar activament Joan de Capadòcia (Joan II de Constantinoble). Una carta d'aquest patriarca consta al Concilia (vol. v. col. 187, &c., ed. Labbe, vol. viii. col. 1067, ed. Mansi).

Es coneixen dues obres aparentment del mateix autor que van signades per Joan Patriarca de Jerusalem però no està establert a quin dels patriarques correspon, tot i que Oudin les atribueix a Joan III.

Aquestes obres, que tracten de les discussions entre l'església llatina i la ortodoxa, són:
 1. , Joannis Patriarchae Hierosolymitani Disputatio de Azymis, quam is in urbe Hierosolymitana cum philosopho quodam Latino habuit.
 2. Joannes Patriarcha Hierosolymitanus, de Spirit Sancto o Joannis Patriarchae Hierosolymitani Liber contra Latinos (Catalog. M Storum Angliae et Hiberniae).

If you are planning a trip and either it ends in the USA or you have to transit through one of the US airports to catch a connecting flight, you can now check the waiting time to clear immigration. CBP (Customs and Border Protection) offers a new tool on their website to do that. Recording of this data started in July 2008 for the busiest airports in the US.
However when you check for your planned trip, you are not checking your trip date, you check the same date one year past and maybe two years past. This gives you an idea of how long the wait time on that particular day will be, tho it's not a guarantee. Flight arrival patterns can vary considerably by the time of year and day of the week, as well as by time of day. Also be aware that if a flight gets delayed and now it arrives together with another flight, waiting times can increase drastically in that event.
Use the onboard restroom shortly before landing. After leaving the aircraft rush to the immigration booth. This gives you a bit of a head start.
In a previous travel tip of the week (TTOTW) I wrote about to planing your flights to avoid connecting flights in the US if you are connecting to another international destination outside the US. In case your final destination is in the US, also try to connect somewhere else, for example, Iceland, to avoid picking up your bags and checking them again.

Home Wing Beat Professor Bumpus and His Sparrows
Professor Bumpus and His Sparrows
Bob Montgomerie
Guest Post by Ted Anderson
Possibly the most influential ornithological paper published inNorth America in the 19th century was actually written by an invertebrate embryologist who was not even a member of the American Ornithologists' Union. The paper "The elimination of the unfit as illustrated by the introduced sparrow, Passer domesticus" was written by Professor Hermon Carey Bumpus at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island It was actually the second of two interesting papers that Bumpus published on the recently introduced house sparrow, but more on these below.
Hermon Bumpus
Bumpus was born in Maine in 1862, and entered Brown in 1879 to study biology, graduating in 1884. In 1886, he accepted a professorship at Olivet College in Michigan, a position he left in 1889 to complete a doctorate at the newly established Clark University, where he received the first PhD awarded by that university. In 1890 he returned to Brown as assistant professor of zoology and was promoted to professor of comparative anatomy two years later. He left Brown in 1900 to become assistant to Morris Jessup, president of the board of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. A year later Jessup promoted him to become the museum's first director.
In 1911 Bumpus moved into academic administration as business manager of the University of Wisconsin, a position he held until 1914. He then moved to Tufts College (now University) as President from 1915 to 1919. He resigned from Tufts to pursue his interest in building or remodeling homes including a Philippine bungalow on Long Island Sound (constructed of Philippine lumber from the Philippine Hall at the St. Louis Exposition), an Italian villa in a Boston suburb and the King Caesar House in Duxbury, Mass. Bumpus died in Pasadena, California in 1943.
While teaching at Brown, Bumpus spent his summers conducting research on the development of marine invertebrates at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where he also served as assistant director from 1893 to 1895, and as director of the Biological Laboratory of the US Fish Commission. In 1896 he presented the inaugural lecture in a summer seminar series at the Marine Biological Laboratory entitled "The variations and mutations of the introduced sparrow, Passer domesticus", which was published in 1898.
In that 1898 paper he was undoubtedly the first scientist to suggest that the introduction of house sparrows and their subsequent rapid spread across North America represented a huge experiment that could be used to study Darwinian natural selection. Taking advantage of that natural experiment, he compared the size, shape and coloration of 868 sparrow eggs from Massachusetts with an equal number of sparrow eggs from England, to test the hypothesis that the rapid population growth of sparrows in North America would result in relaxed selection. Without the benefit of statistical analysis—Francis Galton and Karl Pearson were just then developing some rudimentary statistical tests—he concluded from his graphs that eggs from Massachusetts were shorter and more variable in size and coloration than eggs from England. He also raised the question of whether the observed differences were phenotypic ('ontogenetic') or adaptive ('phylogenetic') and suggested that a common garden experiment would be needed to differentiate between these alternatives.
Bumpus's graph of the length of house sparrow eggs from North America (dotted line) and Europe (solid line) [1]
On 1 February 1898, a winter storm in Providence provided Bumpus with the material for another summer lecture at Woods Hole, which he then published. After the storm, 136 immobilized sparrows were brought to Bumpus's anatomy lab, where 72 subsequently revived but the remaining 64 died. Bumpus identified the sex and measured nine morphological traits of each bird. Bumpus concluded from his graphs that males survived better than females and that shorter, lighter birds with longer legs, wings and sternums and larger brain size ("skull width") also survived better. He concluded that his analyses showed:
Natural selection is most destructive of those birds which have departed most from the ideal type, and its activity raises the general standard of excellence by favoring those birds which approach the structural ideal.
…the birds which perished have certain average structural peculiarities which distinguish them from the survivors, and that the intensity of selective elimination has been felt most by birds of extreme structure [2]
In his 1899 publication, the entire dataset is reproduced in an appendix, thereby permitting many other evolutionary biologists, as well as innumerable students in evolution classes, to analyze Bumpus's data statistically. Harris published the first statistical analysis, and at least ten other papers have been published since then, including papers by John Calhoun, Peter Grant , Richard F. Johnston and colleagues, and one by Russell Lande and Steven Arnold. Increasing complex and sophisticated statistical analyses were employed in these papers, and the conclusions of the various authors differ from those of Bumpus and from each other, in part due to the fact that many of the analyses use only subsets of the original data.
I do not know of another dataset of birds that has been subjected to so many analyses and so many different interpretations The history of reanalysis of Bumpus's data is a nice example of a century of progress in both statistics and evolutionary biology

New approach to determine the structure of large RNA molecules
Researchers from the University of Maryland have designed a new technique to establish the structures of huge RNA molecules at high resolution. The latest technique resolves a challenge that has restricted 3D analysis and imaging of RNAs to just small pieces and molecules of RNA in the last five decades.
University of Maryland researchers developed a method to expand the scope of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In the example above, the researchers were able to create a 3D image revealing the site on a piece of hepatitis RNA where small molecules such as a drug could bind (shown in green). Image Credit: Kwaku Dayie/University of Maryland.
The novel approach extends the scope of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and will allow scientists to interpret the structure and shape of RNA molecules and learn their mode of interaction with other molecules.
The technology offers insights that may lead to targeted RNA therapeutic treatments for arious diseases. A research article on this latest work was published in the Science Advances journal on October 7th, 2020.
The field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been stuck looking at things that are small, say 35 RNA building blocks or nucleotides. But most of the interesting things that are biologically and medically relevant are much bigger, 100 nucleotides or more. So, being able to break down the log jam and look at things that are big is very exciting. It will allow us to peek into these molecules and see what is going on in a way we haven't been able to do before."
Kwaku Dayie, Study Senior Author and Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Maryland
In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, investigators direct radio waves at a specific molecule, stimulating the atoms and "lighting up" that molecule. By quantifying the variations in the magnetic field around the excited atoms—the nuclear magnetic resonance—researchers can rebuild characteristics, like the structure, shape, and movement of the molecule. This produces data that can be subsequently used to generate pictures, almost like MRI images observed in medicine.
Generally, NMR signals emitted from several atoms in a biological molecule, like RNA, tend to overlap with one another, which makes analysis highly complicated. But in the 1970s, investigators learned to biochemically engineer RNA molecules to function better with NMR by substituting the hydrogen atoms with magnetically active fluorine atoms.
In comparatively small RNA molecules containing 35 or fewer nucleotides, the fluorine atoms illuminate instantly when struck with radio waves and continue to remain excited to enable high-resolution analysis.

INTEGRA solutions helping to support a new generation of RNA sequencing
However, as RNA molecules become larger, the fluorine atoms illuminate only for a short time and then rapidly lose their signal. This has inhibited high-resolution 3D analysis of larger molecules of RNA.
Earlier studies performed by other scientists had demonstrated that fluorine continued to create a powerful signal when it was located next to a carbon atom consisting of seven neutrons and six protons (C-13).
Therefore, Dayie and his group devised a relatively simple technique to modify the naturally occurring C-12 in RNA (which contains six neutrons and six protons) to C-13 and install a fluorine atom (F-19) directly adjacent to it.
Dayie and his group initially showed that their technique can generate images and data that are equivalent to present-day techniques by applying it to RNA pieces from HIV containing 30 nucleotides, which had been already imaged. The team subsequently applied their technique to parts of Hepatitis B RNA comprising 61 nucleotides—almost twice the size of earlier NMR spectroscopy possible for RNA.
The team's method allowed the investigators to detect the locations on the hepatitis B RNA in which small molecules attach and interact with the RNA. That might prove handy for interpreting the impact of promising therapeutic drugs. The subsequent step for the scientists is to examine even larger molecules of RNA.
This work allows us to expand what can be brought into focus. Our calculations tell us that, in theory, we can look at really big things, like a part of the ribosome, which is the molecular machine that synthesizes proteins inside cells."
By interpreting the structure and shape of a molecule, investigators can gain a deeper understanding of its function and its interaction with the environment. Moreover, this technique will allow scientists to observe the 3D structure as it modifies, since RNA molecules specifically alter their shape frequently. This understanding is essential for developing therapeutics that closely target disease-specific molecules without causing an impact on the function of healthy cells.
The hope is that if researchers know the nooks and crannies in a molecule that is dysfunctional, then they can design drugs that fill the nooks and crannies to take it out of commission."
"And if we can follow these molecules as they change shape and structure, then their response to potential drugs will be a little bit more predictable, and designing drugs that are effective can be more efficient," Dayie concluded.

9 Best Things to Do in Queenstown, New Zealand
Queenstown is a small town with a big reputation. It's been touted as the adventure capital of the entire planet!!! A pretty bold statement for sure but it does have some incredible topographical features and lots of activities that rank it highly amongst other competitors, such as Banff in Canada...
