This book lists from 1 to 50 what makes Donald Trump the best choice for President in 2016. This is not a long book, so you will not find fine details here. It includes many direct quotes from Mr. Trump himself in addition to intermittent links in places where the author wishes you to look for more information on a topic. Overall, for someone wanting to know the basics on where Mr. Trump stands on the important issues, this is a good place to start.
It's like you are in crazy debt, about to lose everything you own- then walking down the street you just find the winning powerball ticket on the ground, didn't even have to buy it- are you going to pick that ticket up and cash it in? should we all rely on finding winning lottery tickets then?
Too LateHe's now President elect. Check to see if you have enough reasons. I did not vote, so my reasons don't count.
Quick Read! This was a nice reminder of everything that DJT ran on. Quick, concise, to the point. I especially like #36 "Tough on Crime" and his reference to Richmond's Project Exile.
Why Donald Trump?This book is comprehensive ,sometimes ,frivolous, in the list of reasons to vote for Donald Trump. An opportunity to expand on Trump,s policies was largely missed. I wanted more detail. The debates are so time restricted and subject to the moderator s questions that candidates do not have an opportunity to speak in detail about their ideas. This book,with better research could have done this for Donald Trump.
It's a good jumping off point for those who quickly want to know where Trumps stands on issuesThis is a quick read, brief, bullet points on Trumps's stance and beliefs etc. It is mostly right, makes brief points to substantiate. It's a good jumping off point for a person who quickly wants to know where Trump stands on issues and from here one can do greater research.
It time for a changeAnd Donald Trump is the change. I always thought that America dealt with other countries wrong. Ok i' m only a High School Grad. But damn my tax dollars should be going to "We the people" I fell very comfortable with With Mr. Trump. Give him the vote that gives him the power to make the changes we have been talking about as citizens and tax payers.
We already know thisIf you are a Trump fan then you already know the things written in this book. If you are not, then it is very informative. The only problem I have with this book is the many punctuation errors. It is difficult and annoying to read because of that.
More people need to read this!My favorite reason is that Trump stands up to the press and doesn't back down or let them intimidate him. He is a true leader which is what we have not had for the past 8 years. I hope and pray he wins this election.
OkOk book, it could use much more detailed information to inform the voters on Trumps detailed policies. Best of all its free!
Great!Great read, he brings out some great points that often get ignored. Would recommend to anyone keeping up with the Presidential race.
Points well done and an easy read. Nice overview of Mr. Trump's positions on important issues that face voters today. This book helped me understand The Donald more.

Forensic Architecture shortlisted for Turner Prize 2018
Tom Ravenscroft | 26 April 2018 Leave a comment
Investigative agency Forensic Architecture has been shortlisted for this year's Turner Prize, the UK's most important art award.
The research group, based at Goldsmiths University in London, has been recognised for its investigative exhibitions, which recreate events using spatial analysis to reveal human rights violations.
Founded in 2010 by Israeli architect Eyal Weizman, the architectural investigative agency is currently working to create a 3D video of the Grenfell Tower fire.
The organisation has several other ongoing projects including defending a human rights organisation against allegations of colluding with people smugglers, a neo-Nazi murder case, and ethnic cleansing by ISIS in Iraq.
In 2016, the researchers came to prominence for creating an interactive model of a notorious prison in Syria from information seen and heard by detainees.
Forensic Architecture are using footage from numerous recordings to create a 3D video of the Grenfell Tower fire
Forensic Architecture was praised by the Turner Prize jury "for developing highly innovative methods for sourcing and visualising evidence relating to human rights abuses around the world, used in courts of law as well as exhibitions of art and architecture."
Forensic Architecture to create 3D video of Grenfell Tower fire
The researchers are shortlisted for the £40,000 art prize alongside three other artists, Naeem Mohaiemen, Charlotte Prodger and Luke Willis Thompson, who are all tackling political or humanitarian issues, often using film.
The researchers created an interactive model of a Syrian prison to demonstrate conditions inside the detention centre
"Following a thoughtful and rigorous debate, this year's jury has chosen an outstanding group of artists, all of whom are tackling the most pressing political and humanitarian issues of today," said Alex Farquharson, chair of the award jury and director of Tate Britain.
"This shortlist highlights how important the moving image has become in exploring these debates. We are looking forward to what will be a dynamic and absorbing exhibition."
In 2015 London-based Assemble became the first architecture and design studio and the first collective to win the UK's most important art award.
The winner of the 2018 Turner Prize is set to be announced in December.
Forensic Architecture investigates alleged links between refugee charities and people smugglers
Work created by all four shortlisted artists will be displayed at an exhibition at London's Tate Britain from 25th September 2018 to 6th January 2019.

Elena and Her Men 1956
Added by Not Eric Rohmer
French Cancan generally disappointed Renoir's fervent admirers. Not that the film seemed a failure, but it was somewhat below the director's usual caliber. And this was even more apparent because it adopted - simplifying it to an extreme - one of the themes of The Golden Coach (La Carrosse d'or): show biz.
Italian comedy is one thing, Theater with a capital T, but the cancan? In making a plea for cabaret, Gabin also made a plea for Renoir, who had…
Les étoiles de midi 1959
Is it our place to pass judgment on a work whose beauty - and quite a beauty it is - seems to be more sporting than cinematic in nature, which seems to fill us with admiration more for the model than for the art with which it is reproduced? My answer is yes, and for two reasons. The first is that cinema, as Andre Bazin demonstrated, invites us to revise formerly antithetical notions of art and nature. As for the…
South Pacific 1958
If we judge by our usual criteria, this film is not worth much, even less than Sayonara, after which Logan's popularity plunged. Would the director of Picnic and Bus Stop be merely the least scrupulous of frauds? A patented imitator, delivering, on request, a designer product or a mass-produced one?
Logan's first two films are worth about the same as certain Broadway productions. His fourth gives us a faithful copy of what must be the world's worst genre. The American…
Moby Dick 1956
From its beginning, Cahiers has followed the principle of critiquing "beauties." The critique of a film is ordinarily assigned to the one among us who finds the most arguments in its favor. There is no question of our abandoning this method which, believe us, is the most equitable.
Some of our readers, however, have written to us saying that a disdainful silence is sometimes too generous and that certain "losers," especially those favored by the public, merit a more severe…
Vertigo 1958
Itself, by itself, solely ONE everlastingly, and single. - Plato
We would have gladly pardoned Alfred Hitchcock for following the austere Wrong Man with a lighter work, more of a crowd pleaser. Such was perhaps his intention when he decided to bring the novel by Boileau and Narcejac, D'entre les morts, to the screen. Now, the esoteric nature of Vertigo, so they say, repelled Americans. French critics, on the contrary, seem to be giving it a warm welcome. Our colleagues…
Dreams 1955
Cahiers now will be a subscriber to Ingmar Bergman for a good long while, as Dreams inaugurates a series of more or less varied releases to take place over the coming months. We will certainly not complain about this, nor will the reader, whether provincial or Parisian. The year 1958 will be the year of Bergman for French audiences, just as 1953 was the year of Cinemascope. These two events have nothing in common, except their equal ability to enhance…
The Quiet American 1958
Added by Not Eric Rohmer 1
This is an admirable film and is well worth a change of opinion. He who says politique des auteurs, says loyalty, and it is certainly easier and more appealing to maintain faith in a man than in a system. This is why one should not be too surprised to see me take the opposite view of the one I expressed here earlier, concerning Les Girls. No film caused more ink to flow at Cahiers than The Barefoot Contessa, and yet…
Les Girls 1957
There are roughly two kinds of films, just as in the French language there are two ways of forming words: scholarly and popular. Films, of course, do not necessarily have a label attached to their credits. Even if they did, we couldn't accept it as proof of quality. Given our theoretical standpoint - which, as we know, is one that places emphasis on the director - Cahiers deliberately ignores social prejudice. We pay no heed to those - and they…
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? 1957
For a certain time, we considered Frank Tashlin's work as the culmination of the trend toward the new American comedy, as opposed to that of classical comedy illustrated by people like Capra, Lubitsch, McCarey, and La Cava, the many remakes of which persist in flowering the grave, only to make its death more apparent. Tashlin is new, yes, and even slightly decadent, or if one prefers, baroque. He enriches the arabesque of grimaces with a thousand spirals, grimaces that in…
The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz 1955
Archibaldo de la Cruz has the good fortune to see someone else commit the crimes that an equally fortunate fate prevents him from committing himself. In a word, this is the story of the film that Luis Buñuel shot in Mexico three years ago.
Like all well-told tales, this one leaves a respectably wide margin for interpretation. Are we to understand, very simply, as the author suggests in a brief passage - whose naivete is equaled only by the splendor…
Bigger Than Life 1956
Nicholas Ray has enough partisans among our readers for me to venture praising him without preliminaries. Yet I can easily see how his last film might be shocking in the eyes of those who demand a certain literary content in a cinematic work. Bigger Than Life is not a melodrama. If it were, defending it to certain people would be easier. I will therefore limit myself to pleading guilty; I will consider the style, and only incidentally mention the conventions…
Mr. Arkadin 1955
The revolution brought about by Welles seems greater every day. Without him, as we said in the dedication to our Christmas issue, "the new American cinema would not be what it is." From Wyler to Robert Aldrich, through Kazan or Preminger, following a meandering but never entirely broken line, his influence has never ceased to obsess Hollywood. True, like Eisenstein, he is not the type that can be imitated, and with the help of time and ingratitude, the many errors…

Prior to 2015, coal workers' pneumoconiosis (commonly referred to as black lung disease) was thought to be 'extinct' amongst the Australian workforce. It was in fact kept at arm's length through regulation and safety standards, recently found to have been sidestepped by the Queensland mining industry.
Between 2015 and early 2016, 11 cases of black lung disease surfaced amongst Queensland coal workers'. This re-emergence prompted a Senate inquiry into the regulations surrounding the coal mining industry, the results of which were delivered in its report in April 2016, titled "Black Lung: It has buggered my life." Alarmingly, in a recent report issued by Monash University, a further 18 likely cases have since been identified. The most recent known worker diagnosed with black lung disease is a 39 year old worker who worked in coal mines throughout Queensland and New South Wales.
Black lung disease is caused by breathing in excessive levels of coal dust. This dust builds up in the lungs of coal miners and has nowhere to go. Coal miners suffering from this disease develop shortness of breath, a severe cough and feel pressure on their chest. If the worker continues to be exposed to high levels of coal dust, black lung can develop into progressive massive fibrosis, causing major damage to the lungs and the heart. Workers' have been found to cough up black sputum or blood and suffer a premature death. Most importantly, black lung disease is 100% preventable in Australia.
Despite the rise of the green and renewable sources of energy, according to the recent report released by the Senate Select Committee on Health, Australia is currently the fifth largest producer of coal in the world. Whilst the majority of Australian Coal is mined in Queensland and New South Wales, there are other black coal mines in Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania, which makes the return of black lung disease a national issue.
Of significance, Queensland has had no system for following up with coal workers' once they are no longer in the industry. Their health screening process revolved around a 'fitness for duty' as opposed to the workers' health. Further, the mine operators in Queensland were found to have been responsible for monitoring the level of coal dust within a mine, a practice which has delivered poor compliance with safety standards through self-regulation.
Thankfully such problems are not currently replicated in the New South Wales coal industry, with dust monitoring overseen by the joint industry body Coal Services Pty Ltd ("Coal Services"). However, it is important that if you are/were a New South Wales coal worker and you experience any symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain or a persistent cough, that you get in touch with Coal Services, who will arrange the appropriate medical tests. Similarly, if you are/were a Queensland coal miner we suggest you speak to your current/former employer and/or your union to arrange such medical tests.
A preventable disease that causes premature death in the Australian workforce requires the attention and resources of the Government and industry stakeholders to put a stop to it. However, if you are diagnosed with black lung disease and want to explore your legal entitlements, contact Turner Freeman Lawyers so one of our dust diseases specialists can provide you with advice.

What Is The Dog-Like Alien In The Book Of Boba Fett Episode 1
Lucasfilm/Disney+
By Kat Black/Dec. 29, 2021 2:40 pm EST
The first chapter of "The Book of Boba Fett" just dropped on Disney+, and as the fan-favorite bounty hunter returns to our screens, so too does a cast of strange-but-familiar alien species that you may recognize from its origin series, "The Mandalorian." The slow-paced episode, titled "Stranger in a Strange Land," re-acclimates fans to the harsh conditions of desert world Tatooine as the backstory of our death-defying hero (played by Temuera Morrison) unfurls.
We last saw Boba in Season 2 of "The Mandalorian," conscripting his buddy Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) into a mission to reclaim his stolen armor from the Mandalorian, Din Djarin or "Mando" (Pedro Pascal). "Stranger in a Strange Land" begins with a flashback, neatly resolving the hanging plot thread of Boba Fett's mysterious escape from the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine. No sooner does Boba tunnel his way out of the Sarlacc's belly than his armor is ransacked by a band of Jawas, a hooded group of scavengers that trawls Tatooine for salable scraps. Boba's streak of bad luck continues as he's taken captive by the Tusken Raiders, a nomadic tribe native to Tatooine, and tussles with a certain beady-eyed alien creature that snarls like a dog, but looks like a Komodo dragon.
The dog-like alien is a massiff
That animal is the massiff, the Tusken Raiders' official "guard dogs." Described by the official Star Wars website as one of the franchise's "galactically good doggos," the massiffs were first introduced to the canon in 2002's "Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones" (via Fandom). They have since appeared in the animated "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" series, "The Mandalorian," and now "The Book of Boba Fett."
Though massiffs do have some distinctly dog-like properties, including a toothsome grin and a proclivity for back scratches, their spiny, lizard-tongued appearance skews more reptilian than canine. According to Fandom, while formerly a feral hunting species native to harsh desert planets, the massiffs were eventually domesticated and deployed as trackers for clone troopers during the Clone Wars before serving as sentries for the fiercely protective Tusken Raiders.
In "The Mandalorian," Mando brokers a cooperative meeting with the Tusken Raiders by first ingratiating himself with the massiffs, whose ferocious roars dissolve into contented grumbles when he gives one of them an affectionate hide-scratch. Boba, true to form, has a much more brutish strategy for contending with the vicious-but-cuddly species in Chapter One of "The Book of Boba Fett." After being taken captive, he coaxes out a massiff on guard duty and strangles it, ingeniously using its own teeth to break his bonds. Aggressive — but effective!

Transcript (below)
Zosia: Hi and welcome to the show. I'm here with Anne from Autistics for Autistics Ontario. Anne, would you be able to describe the history of your organization?
Anne: Yes, it's great to be here too…thank you for inviting me. Our organization was founded in November 2017 and it was co-founded– I'm one of the co-founders—as a way for autistic people to be able to speak for ourselves, so it's an autistic self-advocacy organization. We do work in community education, political advocacy and community support and community building.
Zosia: You recently wrote a plain language guide on COVID-19. Would you mind describing it?
Anne: Yeah, sure. We came up with this idea to get something out there about COVID-19 in plain language, meaning that people can understand it… it's not full of a lot of technical jargon. And also specifically for autistic people, talking about some of the things that we would specifically be concerned about.
So the guide starts out with talking about what COVID-19 is, explains why we're sheltering in place or staying at home (as we are here in Ontario) and then it gives some resources for people who use AAC, which [are] alternative communication devices, for people who are non-speaking. It gives some resources for non-speaking people for navigating the medical system and what's going on, and for having access to communication. And then it talks a little bit about coping, how to connect with people, how to cope what's going on… and some advice for caregivers. And then a brief discussion about what might happen next because that's a big question that a lot of people have.
Zosia: Could you describe why plain language is necessary in communications for COVID 19?
Anne: It's really, really important and we don't see much of it. I'm actually really surprised with COVID how little communication is coming out of the medical field that could be understood by the average person. A lot of it is really technical and you start looking at all these big words and long paragraphs and it feels very overwhelming and it's hard to understand. It's really important in the case of something where it's about health and safety, to make sure it's in plain language.
The challenge with plain language is that sometimes plain language guides – if they're not written by actually disabled people– they can come across as kind of patronizing, right? and talking down to the person. So …people who are autistic, have Downs Syndrome or a variety of intellectual disabilities, [should] really driving these projects, be writing these projects or at the very least at least very heavily consulting and involved with these guides so that they really speak to people in a way that is comfortable.
Zosia: Have there been any other plain language guides circulating? And how does yours differ from those?
Anne: Yeah, there are some good ones. I will say, Harvard (Medical School) did plain language but then they kind of messed it up because they had it like by age group, like "for 5-7 year olds"… like that doesn't really work, you know, cognition doesn't break down like grades in school. However, Brandeis [University] did a really nice one. And that could be read by people of any age.
Another great one was written by Green Mountain Self Advocates, and that was actually written by people who are disabled, have intellectual or developmental disabilities, so that was written in a really accessible way. And then there's our guide. These are the major ones.
And then there are guides by AAC-makers… CoughDrop has a guide, Assistiveware has a lot of good guides and information for people who use AAC to communicate.
Zosia: Do you believe that they methods that the government has used thus far to communicate vital information regarding COVID-19 have been sufficient?
Anne: I think they could do a better job with plain language, especially by consulting with people who understand plain language and know how to write using plain language, and who benefit from plain language.
Zosia: So governmental briefings on Coronavirus have only recently begun using accessibility measures; for example, sign language, the week of March 16. Why do you think the implementation of methods like this were considered later as opposes to quote "traditional" communication?
Anne: I think it's that way so much of the time that disabled people are an afterthought. I don't know why especially federally since they made this big statement about how they're going to start including disability in everything they do, right from the start, so I was surprised at how long it took them because I knew that they have this new commitment, but I haven't seen a lot of legs to that commitment, and I think there still is more work to be done to reach various disabled communities in the way they communicate.
Zosia: The Accessible Communities Canada Act in its current status primarily refers to federal physical bodies, such as government buildings. Do you feel that language should have been included in the creation of this act?
Anne: It really, really should have. And like any disability accommodation, it would benefit everyone—not just disabled people–if they had included that. The legislation also really didn't have anything for autistic people and there was no consultation done with autistic people for that legislation, so there are a number of things missing there.
Zosia: Are there methods of communication that the government hasn't yet implemented that the government would be able to better assist disabled people?
Anne: I think so. They need to communication more directly with disability self-advocacy groups and disability self-advocates and ask what our different communities and individuals need and then respond to that need. I don't think having a bunch of quote-unquote experts who are non-disabled trying to just do guesswork on the fly in the background as an afterthought is going to be a good way do it. We'd like to see the government reaching out directly to groups like ours and asking us what's missing and what we need.
And we can provide it, it is very simple for us to do that rather than having them kind of doing guesswork.
Zosia: Do you feel that the accessibility measures regarding communication have been adequately communicated by caregivers to the populations that require them? For example in the blog post you mention there are sound boards specific to COVID 19. Is this a feature that's widely known to caregivers as a resource?
Anne: I think the companies that make these boards are trying to get the information out there, but I don't think it's entirely successful. It all depends on the quality of who's caring for the person and where the person lives. If they're living in a residential program where the [carers] are really not making an effort to know what's going on and what's available and really querying these things, I don't think they're going to find them. This is all happening really ad hoc, by private groups, groups like ours, in the case of AAC it might be a company that makes AAC, but if you don't use that brand you might never hear about it.
Ideally you would have kind of a Master Post, a master list, that the government had, of accessibility resources and then they would distribute these resources to all of the residential programs and all of the schools, in terms of how they're doing education now, and they would have a way to get it to parents as well through various agencies, but that's not happening.
Zosia: And why do you feel that's not happening?
Anne: I don't think they have had a plan… I don't know, I'm just speculating at this point but it doesn't look like they had thought about these moving pieces when they were getting ready for something like a pandemic. So they need to reach out and ask people in the disability community…. And I mean really [actually] disabled people.
In the case of autism, there is really a whole bunch of non-autistic people who claim to speak for us, groups like CASDA and some of these other …like Autism Speaks. If the Government is going and asking them, they're going to the wrong people. Those people are not disabled and they don't know what it's like to be autistic and they don't know what autistic people need. [The Government needs] to reach out directly to self-advocates to understand what's needed.
Zosia: How does the level of recommendations vary when provided by someone such as a representative from Autism Speaks, who doesn't have autism versus directly from a person with autism?
Anne: Well, we're asking everyone in the broader disability community not to partner with or work with organizations like Autism Speaks or CASDA because they are…first of all, in the case of Autism Speaks there is the broader issue of the genetic research and some of the eugenics that they support…
But aside from that, they also really follow what's known as the medical model of disability, where the disabled person is the "problem" and you "fix the child to make them fit" in a world that isn't built for them. The social model of disability tells us, why don't we make some changes to the world around us, so that it can fit us? And it's just the same for autism as it is any disability, right?
I think that these big groups that tend to speak as though we're broken puzzle pieces that need to be fixed, and "what kind of therapies can we get so we're not so 'weird'?" and whatever like, is really damaging to autistic people in many, many ways.
And it doesn't make for successful outcomes, either. If the Government and policymakers are looking for successful outcomes, the only way you're going to have that is if we look at autism from the social model of disability and start making changes to the environment. And the only people that can communicate what changes are needed, whether it's in schools, or healthcare or anywhere else…the only people who are really going to be able to articulate what's needed are actually autistic people.
Like for example, our group, Autistics for Autistics, goes to the University of Toronto medical school a couple times a year and give a talk to [medical] students on "How can you make your practice accessible" for people who use AAC, for people with sensory issues, communication differences, all of the types of challenges that we have faced when we try to seek health care. We know what the barriers are and we know that there are some really simple solutions. And when we go speak to the med students about how they can make their practice more accessible, they're very receptive, they're very open.
It's really a simple matter of teaching them some really simple accessibility measures that will have an impact on hundreds of people throughout their career. But we're the only ones doing it… it's the autistic people who are doing it.
When you have a big organization like Autism Speaks or someone coming in [to med schools], they're much more likely to talk about "How To Identify Autism" or make us seem like we're sort of like, a germ in a petri dish rather than "hey, we're people and it would really help if you would learn about this, it would help if you allow your patients to email for people who are not able to use the phone, things like that. And that all comes from the grassroots, from the disability rights community, not from these big organizations who claim to speak for us.
Zosia: And have these organizations spoken for or released anything in regards to COVID-19 and what are your thoughts on those?
Anne: I've been looking and.. now I haven't seen anything from Autism Speaks because I kinda don't like looking at what they do, um… because of the eugenics, but I have seen some organizations that have put out guides. Generally, [these groups] are putting out like "A Guide for Caregivers" and then it will be like this massive long document about "How to Talk to Your Child About COVID" um, so, already they've taken the subjectivity away from the actually autistic person. They're not addressing autistic people, they're addressing their carers, and that's just symbolic of how they tend to do things.
And I just saw one today, I couldn't believe it…someone sent it to me, I can't remember who put it out…it was a Canadian group from the West [edit: It was put out by a Federal Government initiative by the Pacific Family Autism Network, PFAN] and they did this whole big thing, this whole big website… they probably had grant money for it [edit: the PFAN was handed $10 million in federal funds for the website], and they never once mentioned non-speaking, non-verbal autistic people.
They had it all set up for autistic people who could speak, but we know that like 30% of autistic people are either nonspeaking or partially speaking. It's quite incredible that a big agency like that would just render all those people invisible in their document.
Zosia: And how has the community in Ontario been impacted by the crisis?
Anne: I think it's been impacted depending on where you live and who you are. So for some people who are living on their own or with roommates, out on their own, they are facing in many, many cases… because poverty is a big problem in our community, facing a lot of economic insecurity and a lot of worry what might happen to their job, a lot of worry about what's going to happen with Ontario Works, or ODSP [The Ontario Disability Support Program] or some of the other programs that people are receiving… so there is anxiety and uncertainty and fear around the economic part of it.
Then there's the social isolation which everyone has to deal with but which feels a little bit different, maybe for an autistic person than it would for a neurotypical person. I don't want to generalize to all autistic people… I think there are some stereotypes out there that we all just want to sit home and pet our cat and we don't really care that we have to stay home and we're all "introverts" and that's not really true, a lot of autistic people are really extroverted and I think anyone, whether you're autistic or not, is missing the community, missing the routine. But I think from a sensory perspective it can be more difficult being inside, than it might be for someone else.
It can be particularly difficult for people who are living in a group home setting or in a family setting where they're not happy or not comfortable, or that's not welcoming to them. I really, really worry about people in those kind of situations where there may have been an opportunity to get out for work or out for school and now they're home. So there's that as well.
And then there's the sense of not knowing what's coming. Which is something that impacts everyone, but it can be especially frustrating and can really start to lead you down a path of reading and learning and understanding and getting super-duper into understanding COVID to the point where it's like, "OK, I've learned everything possible about COVID, now I need to find ways to decompress. I need to find ways to connect with other people."
So I guess to summarize: there are economic concerns, there are stress concerns depending on people's living situations, and then there are sensory and coping concerns that do look and feel different than they do for a lot of neurotypical people.
Zosia: And how is the Government of Ontario dealing with this crisis?
Anne: I'm just giving my opinion as an individual. I was watching a press conference with [Ontario Premier] Doug Ford today and he was kind of being baited by a right wing media [journalist] to make negative comments about [Canadian Prime Minister] Trudeau and he deflected it and he praised Trudeau. And I was really happy to see that like, it does seem like the Government is taking its direction from public health experts, whether they're federal or provincial so that was really comforting for me.
The fallout when this is all over, I don't know, economically and socially what kind of impact it's going to have on our community because so many in our community are already living very low income and on ODSP. That conversation isn't really happening right now so it is really hard to tell, because it is a Tory government, what the future is going to be like in terms of [supports].
Zosia: And what are your opinions on the fact that the majority of disability support plans across Canada are below the poverty line but with the Bill that's been proposed, [non-disabled] individuals would be receiving almost twice as much, for example, as recipients of ODSP. How does that proposal impact the level that we've set… essentially putting disabled people in poverty for no reason.
Anne: Well, it certainly points out the way that the existing system isn't fair, the way that people are constantly living on the poverty line and trying to work a little bit, get penalized for that, people who want to live with their partner, or get married obviously are penalized right now under that system? This, for us as activists, is an opportunity for us to raise awareness, to compare the aid that's being provided by the government [to non-disabled people] to what [disabled people] are getting. It's a good opportunity to make people aware of the discrepancies and the second-class citizenship that comes from those discrepancies.
Zosia: How can non-disabled people be allies to disabled people during this pandemic?
Anne: I think non-disabled people can be allies to disabled people by giving us a place at the podium. It's really really important in any kind of project that has to do with COVID at all that disabled people are right there, front and centre. Because we're in a place right now in Ontario where we have a place for everyone at the hospital, but as we know down in the US they're rationing care and as we know, sometimes the rationing programs exclude people that are disabled, and are discriminatory.
There's a lot of worry and concern in Canada that that could happen here depending on the direction that things go with health care and this virus. So, some guarantees and some real commitment that disabled people are not left out in those kind of scenarios and that affirmation that our lives have value is really important. And visibility for autistic people and all disabled people –as much visibility as possible is really important right now. My concern is that disabled people will not be given life-saving medical care in the event that there is rationing and that it will be built into the triage policies at hospitals.
I think what everyone would like to see is an ironclad guarantee in general a positivity about disabled people coming from our government as a way to reassure people that it's not going to happen here in the way that it has been happening in the US.
Zosia: If listeners wanted more information about your organization, what should they do?
Anne: We're on Twitter @a4aontario and we're also on Facebook at A4A: Public Page. Our website is a4aontario.com. That's where you can find the Plain Language Guide to COVID with pictures, and we're also going to make more plain language COVID guides as well as resources for sheltering in place and a master list of AAC resources.
Zosia: Ok, thank you Anne.
Anne: Great it was great talking to you!

The Windows Task Manager is a process-monitoring program that displays the usage of Hardware resources such as CPU, RAM, HDD, etc. by the installed programs, their processes and services on the system. For a long period of time, the Windows Task Manager was considered and used just as a Task Killer. It all changed with Windows 8, which featured a brand new completely redesigned and feature-rich Task Manager. Now, it acted really as an important program central to an operating system, and not just as a tool.
However, it still doesn't give you enough options to manage the processes. If you want more control over the processes and their activity on your system, you need a Windows Task Manager alternative, a third-party task manager software.
Process Hacker is a free, lightweight, and feature-rich alternative to the Windows Task Manager with Plugins support. It is available in the Portable mode as well.
The program Toolbar has the following four buttons – Refresh, Options, Find handles or DLLs, System information, and some other options. You can use the Find handles or DLLs options to view and terminate the running network connections of programs. The System information button displays the information related to CPU, Memory, I/O, GPU, Disk, and Network in the graphical mode. Clicking on each of the graphs displays detailed information for the selected option.
Process Hacker displays the real-time information about various components of you system in the following four tabs – Processes, Services, Network, Disk. The Processes tab in the default one, it acts as the home screen of the program. The Services tab gives you a quick look at the Services installed on the computer. The Network tab shows the information about the processes connected to the network, and their details in the following columns – Local address, Local port, Remote address, Remote port, Protocol, State, etc. The Disk tab takes you to the disk monitoring feature of Process Hacker that displays information such as the Process name, file name, read date average, write rate average, total rate average, etc.
The Hacker tab in the program menu bar gives you access to Options and Plugins. The Options window lets you configure the program in the following five categories – General, Advanced, Symbols, Highlighting, and Graphs. The Plugins window lets you extend or constrict the functionality of Process Hacker by enabling or disabling Plugins.
The View tab lets you customize the way the program looks and behaves. From here, you can set the Tray icons, Opacity, Refresh interval, and more settings. Eight tray icons can are supported by Process Hacker. Five levels of Refresh rates can be set from ranging from .5s to 10s.
Process Hacker supports three online malware scanning services – VirusTotal JottiScan, and Comodo CAMAS. The running processes can be displayed in a List form or in a Tree like pattern, the advantage of a tree like is the ability to find the total amount of RAM and other resources used by those programs that run multiple process such as Firefox or Chrome. Process Hacker also has the support for colour codes to categorize various types of processes such as System, User, etc.
Some features may require you to run this program as Administrator. If you don't want to that manually every time, then go to the Process Hacker folder in the Program Files directory, and tick the option called Run this program as an administrator under the Compatibility tab of the Properties window of the processhacker.exe file.
Process Explorer is just one of the many amazing tools released under the Sysinternals suite. Like all of the other tools available in this suite, Process Explorer is also released only in the Portable mode.
The Toolbar is full of tools and graphs. By default, the following buttons are present in the toolbar – Save, Refresh Now, System Information, Show Process Tree, Show or Hide Lower Pane, View Handles, Properties, Kill Process/Close Handle, Find Handle or DLL, and Find Window's Process. Five small graphs are also displayed in the toolbar – CPU, System Commit, Physical Memory, I/O, and GPU. You can customize the Toolbar, Status Bar, and the Columns of the main window.
The Options tab in the program menu bar lets you configure the main components of the program such as Colors, Symbols, and Font. Five different Tray Icons can be used in the notification area of the Windows Taskbar. You have an option called Replace Task Manager here that will replace the default Windows Task Manager with Process Explorer. Other options available here are Run At Logon, Verify Image Signatures, etc.
The View tab lets you set various looks and behaviour-related settings of this program such as Update Speed, Opacity, etc. You can Show or Hide the Process Tree, Column Heatmaps, Unnamed Handles and Mappings, Processes From All Users, and Lower Pane.
It has the best integration of VirusTotal in a Task Manager program. Other alternatives let you scan a file either through right-clicking or by letting the user browse for the file. But Process Explorer does it automatically for all of the active processes. The results are displayed in the dedicated VirusTotal tab in the program. Clicking on the result of a process (such as 1/68) takes you to the result page of that file at the VirusTotal website. Virus Total settings can be accessed through the Options tab in the menu bar. The VirusTotal.com feature has two options – Check VirtusTotal.com and Submit Unknown Executables.
AnVir Task Manager Free is the most feature-rich and the most customizable free Task Manager alternative software for Windows. A plethora of settings, features, and tools are available in this software. With some tweaks, it becomes the most colourful and inviting interface of the options present in the list. It is the closest to the Windows 10 Task Manager in terms of the overall colour scheme and looks. There are so many things that this software can help a user do easily if he decides to put some into it and configure it properly. It is available in the Portable mode as well.
The main program toolbar uses five tabs to display different types of items. These are – Startup, Applications, Processes, Services, Drives, and Log. Click on the tab to get information about those type of items.
The Processes tab has all kinds of options/actions related to processes such as Security Report, Refresh, Kill Process, Free Memory, Block Process (Quarantine), Suspend Process, Restart, VirusTotal Uploader, and more. All of these actions are also available in a toolbar, which shows these actions as buttons.
Under the View tab, you can change process information Update Speed, Text Color, Columns, and Language. You can enable or disable the Toolbar, Status Bar, and the Grid. The Process Tree View mode is also supported. AnVir Task Manager Free has one of the best implementation of colour codes to represent various types and levels of processes, services, etc.
The Tools tab has links to various Windows features and tools such as System Information, Device Manager, Internet Options, Power Options, Disk Cleanup, Registry Editor, etc. The Find DLL, File, Driver or Process is also available through the Tools tab.
The AnVir Task Manager Free Options can be accessed through the Tools tab. The Replace Windows Task Manager option is disabled by default. You can enable it if you want to use AnVir as your default Task Manager. Additional security tools include Startup Monitor and Home Page Guard. A multitude of Tray Icons and Appearance options are present for you to configure.
System Explorer is a highly rated and recommended alternative to the Windows Task Manager. A wide range of information is available through System Explorer. No official Portable builds are available for this program.
The most visible feature of System Explorer is Security Scan. In fact, the whole Security concept seems like the main priority of this program. You can check the security rating of each running process by clicking the Check button under the Security column of the program. Clicking on Check will take you to System Explorer's official website, and display the detailed information about the selected process. You can check a process at VirusTotal by right-clicking on it, and then left-clicking on the File Check option.
System Explorer is the only Task Manager listed in this list that supports two View modes – Task Manager Mode, and the Explorer Mode. The Task Manager Mode is the default look of System Explorer. It lists the toolbar buttons in the Chromium styled tabs. You can add or remove these buttons in the toolbar just like you would add a new tab or close an opened one. The Explore Mode, as the name suggests, follows a more File Explorer like approach. There are options in the left pane, and the data related to those options in the right-pane. The data is category in the following fifteen categories – Tasks, Processes, Modules, Performance, Networking, Services, Drivers, Connections, Windows, Opened Files, Autoruns, Uninstallers, Users, Security Info, and Additional Info. Three Tools are provided with the program – History, Snapshots, and WMI Browser.
The processes listed in the Processes tab can be sorted by clicking on the following four buttons present in the toolbar – Show processes from all users, Show Microsoft System entries, Show Services, and Show Items In Tree.
The following four types of program Options are available in System Explorer – General, Advanced, Processes, and History. You can change Font, enable or disable Tray icons, set Hotkey, etc. System Explorer supports colour codes to Highlight various types of processes. You can configure highlight colours as well as the highlight duration.
COMODO KillSwitch is a feature-rich Task Manager alternative to the Windows Task Manager. It is not released a dedicated program, but as a tool in the Comodo Cleaning Essentials toolkit. The Comodo Cleaning Essentials is a portable toolkit that comes in a Zip archive, which is about 30 MB in size. The Toolkit comes with three portable tools – Comodo Cleaning Essentials Scanner, Comodo Autorun Analyzer, and KillSwitch.
You can kill or suspend the shady processes by clicking the Kill All Untrusted Processes, or Suspend All Untrusted Processes button in the KillSwitch tab in the program menu bar.
The Options tab has the option called Replace Task Manager that lets you replace KillSwitch with the Windows Task Manager. Here, you also have options to enable or disable the Tray Icons, configure Symbols, Highlighting; and select the program Language.
You can configure how KillSwitch shows you the Processes, Applications, and Services by clicking on the View tab in the program menu bar, and then selecting either Show Only the Untrusted Images in Memory, or Show Only Untrusted Processes.
The Tools tab has links to the other tools provided in the toolkit by Comodo such as the Comodo Cleaning Essentials scanner, Autorun Analyzer, etc. Various other security related plugins can also be found her such as Quick Repair, Program Usage Analyzer, Find Handles or DLLs, and Verify File Signature.
All of the tools available in the Tools tab, plus some more can be accessed directly through the program dock. These tools are: Start COMODO Cleaning Essentials, Run Autorun Analyzer, Quick Repair, Program Usage Analyzer, Find Window, Find Handles or DLLs, Run, and System Information.
This sums up this list of the Best Free Task Manager Alternatives for Windows.

If it is in a place where you can sand it off there are several ways of treating it.
If it is through the panel then new steel will probably need to be let in.
If you cannot reduce their size to suit this forum, can you send some pictures to me by private message?
No help at all, but I found moving to Calgary in Canada the best solution as no rust at all ever!!!!!!!!!
Naval Jelly used to be pretty good, but many phosphate based rust converters will work and can be painted over if only surface rust.
Richard and Pat, it's mostly on the side pipes. It's mostly surface rust except on the end of the pipes.
Is the chrome pitted? If not or at lease not too badly pitted, Chrome polish and elbow grease should see something presentable.
000 wire wool and liquid chrome polish is about the best bet. its what the restorers use.
Good luck. If not heat resistant paint, but you would have to abrade the chrome surface for it to stick and then only a temporary measure.
Some powdercoaters offer a high temp ceramic coating in different metallics. The one I use has a "near chrome" that can be buffed to look like polished nickel. I've had it done on headers, cylinders, cylinder heads and even a commando fuel tank. Not cheap. Big plus on headers it insulates Very effectively so that they're actually touchable couple minutes after shut down.


After all that time you've spend in front of the bar, here's your chance to get behind it. For your Cambridge stag do we'll turn you into pros, with this fully interactive cocktail masterclass.
This Barman Masterclass will take part in a trendy bar in central Cambridge and we believe your welcome Tom Collins with a twist could just slip down without touching the sides!
So we'll quickly follow it up with a vodka shot to 'toast the stag'... you get the idea, yes this Cambridge Barman Skills does involve a lot of sampling!

Smokey's Players Of The Week

Like clockwork...
Mark It 8, Dude
Viktor Stalberg - There can't really be anyone else, can there? Six points in three games, the impetus to the fight-back in Pittsburgh, a dominating performance against Montreal and then the two goals that made Monday night's game a breeze. Stalberg finds himself on Dave Bolland's line, and it would have been impossible to predict before the season that he would be there to get Bolland going and not the other way around. But he's providing speed and thrust, he and Bryan Bickell seem to have developed a chemistry, and he's helping that unit spend more time attacking than defending, which they've had a real problem with this season. Sure, there are stiffer tests awaiting this week in the form of Anze Kopitar and Co., and then whoever they match up with against Detroit. But the results are encouraging.

Marlboro 72 - Our pet name for the combo of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. It's comforting when they're not really noticeable, because we've come to expect such a high level from them. When they're not making mistakes, they almost fade into the background. But a combined +10 in the past two games means the two of them are dominating the lesser lights of the league. It's a start. Again, stiffer tests coming.
Somewhere In Between
Corey Crawford - Another week where we can't single someone out for being bad, so we'll just have to go with the middle. Crow returned to the cage against Montreal and gave up one goal. He got another start last night, and made 37 saves and only gave up one goal. On the surface, that looks like a return to form. The eye test, however, will tell you that Crow still looks a bit shaky. He's fighting the puck at times, where it looks like he's being attacked by bees instead of just absorbing it. His rebounds are still kicking out into the party zone too often, and his movement is still wonky. But it was always going to be after a long stretch on the bench, but we'd like to see it get better his next start.

Q: Difficult SOQL query for Id between dates Can anyone help me?
Can I realize in soql query next fetch:
I have a map Map< Id, List< List< Date >> (List< Date > consist of two values: StarDate and EndDate). For example I have an object Profit__c with field GrossProfit__c (currency) and User. I need summarize GrossProfit__c for each User in period StarDate and EndDate (createdDate between StarDate and EndDate). How can I get in result UserId and sum GrossProfit__c for each Range Of Dates.
Map:
 1. User1         {firstDate, secondDate}{firstDate2, secondDate2}
 2. User2         {firstDate3, secondDate3}{firstDate4, secondDate4}

So I need get:
1. User1 summ(grossProfit__c) between {firstDate,  secondDate}
 2. User1 summ(grossProfit__c) between {firstDate2,  secondDate2}
 3. User2 summ(grossProfit__c) between {firstDate3,  secondDate3}
 4. User2 summ(grossProfit__c) between {firstDate4,  secondDate4}

Thank you!

A: You can use Aggregate query for this.
[Select sum(grossProfit__c) from Profit__c Wher Day_Only(createdDate) >=: startDate and Day_Only(createdDate) <=: endDate group by userId];

Your query will look something like this.


Whistler was born in America, started drawing classes at the Imperial Academy of Fine Art in St Petersburg, moved to Paris in 1855 to further his studies. His highly influential and individual style was inspired by many sources, including Japanese Art and ancient Greek Sculpture, and he was a leader in the Aesthetic Movement, promoting and writing on the "art for art's sake" philosophy. Making prints was central to Whistler's art. The first of his works accepted for exhibition at the Paris Salon and the Royal Academy were not paintings but etchings: the young artist came to see printmaking as the avenue to fame and success.
James McNeill Whistler is one of the first and most illustrious artists to show in our galleries. As a painter in oils and in watercolour, as an etcher and a lithographer, Whistler excelled. He also made a stand for the cause of art for art's sake, and this cost him dear. Although he won the case, he was bankrupted by the costs of his libel action against the critic John Ruskin. He also lost his new home, the White House, designed for him by E.W. Godwin and in which he had lived for less than a year.
He was the first American artist to enjoy an international reputation and before his fellow Americans began to collect their work, he was a friend of Degas, Manet, Monet and the other leading artists working in Paris in the middle of the nineteenth century. When he sent his most famous work, Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother to the Paris Salon in 1883, the courier was his young assistant Walter Sickert. Whistler gave him introductions to Degas and Manet. It was in Paris that Whistler chose to begin his life as an artist. He arrived in the city in 1855 as a revival of interest in etching was gathering pace. Charles Meryon's etchings of Paris had recently been shown at the Salon and Auguste Delâtre had set up as a printer.
Within our building Whistler staged his sensational show Arrangement in White and Yellow in 1883 which was to affect exhibition design radically so that his principles still guide curators today, more than 130 years later. The walls of the ground-floor galleries of The Fine Art Society in 1883, with his etchings floating in their mounts in white frames on walls covered with white felt. Elsewhere in the building we offered prints made by professional engravers which reproduced paintings by the leading artists of the day, in substantial black and gilt oak frames.
He was equally a pioneer in the print market, and produced a signed, limited edition of his Venice etchings in 1880, the prototype for print publishing of the future. When his career was in ruins in the aftermath of the Ruskin trial and his bankruptcy, it was a commission to make prints which brought him back to public notice. The exhibition he staged at The Fine Art Society in 1883, Arrangement in White and Yellow, which was to influence display and exhibition design for years to come, was a show of his Venice etchings.


According to a 2017 report from the California Farm Bureau Federation, 55 percent of responding farmers had experienced employee shortages despite ramped-up recruiting, increased pay and other incentives. This labor shortage extends across the U.S. but we feel it acutely here in California as our state leads the nation in cash receipts and exports of agricultural products.
A lack of laborers in every sector of the supply chain puts California agriculture—and by extension, US agriculture—at risk of collapsing.
Let's start in the field. Without laborers, obviously, a farmer like me isn't able to harvest and complete orders, causing friction with my suppliers and ultimately with customers and consumers. When I'm not able to hit my processing time, I can't get the opportunity back. We're talking about perishable crops here.
But it's not just harvest that's affected by a lack of hands. At the beginning of the season, we train extensively on food safety, with weekly tailgate meetings as refreshers. If laborers leave, they take all of that food safety education with them, and anyone who takes their place needs to be trained, too, which takes time. And that leaves less time to complete orders.
Trucking is also experiencing a labor shortage. Fewer trucks and truck drivers means longer lead times to get our product to customers. Cooling services—both physical coolers and people to run them—is seeing a steep decline in availability as well.
Unfortunately this trend is expanding out to other roles beyond what we consider as 'agriculture jobs'. Across the overall business, positions need to be filled, including accountants to perform basic AR and AP, as well as IT to keep systems runnings.
Agriculture is a low-margin, high-stress, seven-days-a-week business. At Spinaca, the folks I work with start at 5 AM and are still taking calls at midnight. That kind of grind wears on a person. What people don't realize is once we plant a seed in the ground, we're on the clock. Once it's grown, the window is incredibly small for harvesting, packing, shipping and selling.
Unlike a hammer sold in a hardware store, a bunch of broccoli can't sit on the shelf until someone wants to buy it. That hard deadline stresses some people to elect to not work in agriculture and opt for higher-paying tech jobs just 40 minutes up the road from our farm (looking at you, Silicon Valley).
Retaining good employees is also a constant challenge for us, but I'm very lucky to have found some really sharp folks who have hung in to the agriculture life and help build Spinaca Farms. I'm thankful for them every single day.
Advancements in technology may be the answer to both filling manual labor roles and retaining those with technical chops.
There are programs out there that are very close with the soft robotics, but not ready to scale yet. Some are at the level of horse-and-buggy and some are at that of a Model T. But I already see tremendous potential in agriculture's use of robotics for harvesting, as well as drones and field apps for mapping and reporting water and nutrient usage. If we can leverage those technologies, we may be able to require less manual labor and keep more technically-minded employees in agriculture.
As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of all invention. By automating on the production side, we should be able to reduce our production costs, thereby hitting consumers' preferred price point while still making a profit and ultimately staying in business.
However, the expense is huge to automate upfront making it tough for a small farmer to make the switch. But at this point we don't have a choice, we know if we don't it will be death by a thousand cuts.

Localized RNAi Therapeutics of Chemoresistant Grade IV Glioma Using Hyaluronan-Grafted Lipid-Based Nanoparticles
Authors: Z.R. Cohen, S. Ramishetti, N. Peshes-Yaloz, M. Goldsmith, A. Wohl, Z. Zibly and D. Peer

siRNA Targeted Drug Delivery Oncology
Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is one of the most malignant forms of brain tumors with very few treatment options other than aggressive surgical removal and radiotherapy. While most conventional chemotherapeutics fail when it comes to GBM, it is anticipated that modern gene therapy approaches can potentially improve prognosis. Macromolecules such as RNA and DNA will not be challenged by the drug resistance phenomenon since they bypass the cell efflux pumps that are responsible for chemoresistance. Unmodified nucleic acids on their own however, are not potent therapeutics. Since they can be immunogenic and unstable in biological fluids and due to their inefficient cellular uptake, they require a delivery vehicle. In the recent years, nanomedicine has been used to increase drug potency for a diverse collection of drug molecules. For conditions such as GBM, gene therapy approaches such as small interference RNA (siRNA) encapsulated in nanoparticles can be used to improve prognosis. siRNA can knockdown and regulate genes of interest and when encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) it has proven to be highly safe and efficacious. In their article featured in ACS Nano in 2015, the Peer lab describes an siRNA-LNP system that can specifically target and get taken up by the GBM cells when injected directly in the tumor vicinity. The targeting moiety, hyaluronan (HA), is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan which is the ligand of the CD44 receptor. CD44 is over-expressed on many cancer cell types and HA binds only activated CD44, which is the predominant form in cancerous cells. HA conjugated siRNA-LNPs can therefore effectively target and knockdown proteins in tumors and not healthy tissue.
The Peer lab first confirmed the over-expression of CD44 on GBM cell lines and primary tumors. The high expression of CD44 on both cell types suggested that using HA as targeting moiety can be an effective approach. The authors then formulated siRNA-LNPs according to a previously established method using the NanoAssemblrTM Benchtop tool and chemically conjugated HA to LNPs. In vitro, the HA-LNPs bound to patient glioma cells whereas the control LNPs (missing the HA) did not. The authors then encapsulated an siRNA sequence against Polo-like kinase1 (PLK1) which has been reported to play an important role in malignant transformation and at high levels, correlates to poor prognosis in glioblastoma patients. They then mimicked the cerebrospinal fluid flow for cell transfection conditions by introducing a shear flow for 10 minutes followed by static incubation to determine whether HA-LNPs are better retained by glioma cells compared to non-HA-LNPs. The robust knockdown of PLK1 in glioma cells for 96 hours after transfection was observed only for the HA-LNPs containing PLK1-siRNA and not controls. This implies that HA efficaciously binds CD44 receptors on glioma cells and facilitates internalization of LNPs.
The HA-LNPs were then tested in a glioma orthotopic xenograph model. HA-LNPs containing a fluorescently labeled siRNA were injected directly into the tumor vicinity. At different time points post-injection, brain sections were prepared and tested for the presence of a fluorescent probe incorporated into the LNPs and only animals injected with HA-LNP had detectable signal levels in all brain sections. The in vivo efficacy of HA-LNP was further assessed by 2 local administrations of PLK1 siRNA-HA-LNP at the tumor site of the GBM-bearing mice. Tumor cells were then isolated and sorted by flow cytometry for CD44 expression. The CD44 positive cells had an 80% knockdown of PLK1 as a result of HA-LNP treatment, whereas the control group which received a luciferase siRNA HA-LNP showed no knockdown of PLK1. Additionally, analysis of the isolated primary brain cells treated with HA-LNP indicated no significant changes in proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. Moreover, the GBM mice that received four local injections of PLK1 siRNA-HA-LNP had a prolonged survival rate (95 days) compared to both mock treated (33 days) and luciferase siRNA HA-LNP treated (34.5 days) mice.
In brief, the Peer lab has developed a nanomedicine approach that could potentially battle chemoresistant glioblastoma multiform. By using HA as the targeting ligand, the siRNA-LNPs described in this study specifically target and internalize into CD44 positive cells which is a known marker for glioma cells. The Peer group also successfully knocked down PLK1, a gene correlated with GBM patient prognosis, using the same HA-LNP system. HA-LNP can be used to knockdown other target genes or a combination of them that's personalized based on the patients' needs and the GBM subtype and gene expression profile. The findings in this paper open new doors into treatment of drug resistant malignancies and introduces nanomedicine for delivery of siRNA as a new solution to treat brain tumors.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most infiltrating, aggressive, and poorly treated brain tumors. Progress in genomics and proteomics has paved the way for identifying potential therapeutic targets for treating GBM, yet the vast majority of these leading drug candidates for the treatment of GBM are ineffective, mainly due to restricted passages across the blood–brain barrier. Nanoparticles have been emerged as a promising platform to treat different types of tumors due to their ability to transport drugs to target sites while minimizing adverse effects. Herein, we devised a localized strategy to deliver RNA interference (RNAi) directly to the GBM site using hyaluronan (HA)-grafted lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs). These LNPs having an ionized lipid were previously shown to be highly effective in delivering small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) into various cell types. LNP's surface was functionalized with hyaluronan (HA), a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that specifically binds the CD44 receptor expressed on GBM cells. We found that HA-LNPs can successfully bind to GBM cell lines and primary neurosphers of GBM patients. HA-LNPs loaded with Polo-Like Kinase 1 (PLK1) siRNAs (siPLK1) dramatically reduced the expression of PLK1 mRNA and cumulated in cell death even under shear flow that simulate the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid compared with control groups. Next, a human GBM U87MG orthotopic xenograft model was established by intracranial injection of U87MG cells into nude mice. Convection of Cy3-siRNA entrapped in HA-LNPs was performed, and specific Cy3 uptake was observed in U87MG cells. Moreover, convection of siPLK1 entrapped in HA-LNPs reduced mRNA levels by more than 80% and significantly prolonged survival of treated mice in the orthotopic model. Taken together, our results suggest that RNAi therapeutics could effectively be delivered in a localized manner with HA-coated LNPs and ultimately may become a therapeutic modality for GBM.

Here 10-Ber1 is the unique_pile_id__c. Could anyone help me out?

A: The opIds variable is a set of IDs, and it sounds like you're passing in the string 10-Ber1 as an ID, when in reality it's a text value.
You need to change Set<Id> opIds = new Set<Id>(); to Set<string> opIds = new Set<string>();

Ruling blocks barn remodeling
November 20, 2020 / OFFA / 0 Comments
By Oregon Family Farm Association,
A landowner in Clackamas County who wants to renovate his barn into a venue for weddings, banquets, and dances has stretched the definition of a home-based business, according to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.
It sided with 1000 Friends of Oregon in determining that Mark Herkamp has exceeded his county-issued conditional use permit in remodeling the barn on his 12.5 acres in an area south of Oregon City designated for "exclusive farm use," according to the Capital Press.
Herkamp planned to pour concrete on the barn's dirt floor, pave a parking lot, catering kitchen and erect a freestanding restroom building, what used to be called an outhouse, but which is no longer customary in an "exclusive farm use" zone, the state board ruled.
The farmland preservation group contended the venue goes beyond a home-based business because it would draw up to 300 people at events held five or seven times a week, creating traffic that could interfere with farm equipment and agricultural activities. They also said it would increase land values, making it difficult for farmers to survive.
Herkamp's attorney said the nonprofit group relied in misinformation about the scope of renovations. He noted most events would be limited to 120 to 180 people.
LUBA didn't prohibit the county's conditional use permit but ordered the county to review Herkamp's proposal, saying it might be possible to approve it without the extensive retrofitting. Read the full story at the Capital Press.
