Moving toward informatics savviness: a tale of two health departments
PHII's team with the CDPH at our site visit to Chicago.
As the new year approaches, thoughts often turn to assessing one's current situation and defining goals for the future. Although it's often a personal exercise, this may also be a good time for health department staff to think about how well they manage and share information with internal programs as well as with external partners that, more and more, include healthcare organizations. Building and strengthening these informatics networks will support more informed decision making and, ultimately, lead to better health outcomes for the public.
This year at PHII, our team had the opportunity to work with the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Detroit Health Department (DHD) to assess their informatics proficiency and needs, using tools developed by PHII to assist in this process. This project and the tools were both funded through a cooperative agreement with the CDC.
Thinking strategically for more effective sharing
The informatics-savvy health department is designed and staffed to address the challenge of managing and disseminating disparate data sets among internal and external partners to improve community health.
While proficiency in managing and sharing a variety of health data varies widely across health departments, recognition of its importance is growing. Oftentimes, what happens is that a group (e.g., for HIV surveillance) gets funding, builds a database, collects data and reports it out. But there may be little or no way to connect this dataset to other relevant data in a way that makes them more useful and actionable for internal and external stakeholders.
The PHII assessment tools were developed to help health department staff think strategically about these areas and identify needs. Examples of topics for discussion are who has authority over these data, and how they can best be connected, analyzed and used.
Customizing the PHII tools to individual needs
As a first step, CDPH and DHD completed self-assessments using PHII's tool, Building an Informatics-Savvy Health Department. This exercise is important for understanding current capabilities and identifying priorities for future enhancement.
The PHII team then held a series of phone calls with each health department to discuss findings from these assessments and decide jointly on the most appropriate PHII tools to use with each group for a subsequent site visit.
CDPH is an established public health agency with well-developed systems, but recognized the need to build agency-wide informatics practices and procedures. During the site visit, we facilitated two exercises and walked through an analysis of their completed informatics inventory, using the "Acting on the Results" section of our Public Health Informatics Profile Toolkit, which provides tip sheets with recommendations for building robust systems.
DHD is transitioning to a public health agency structure following a period of privatization, and their needs focus on building basic informatics capacities, including staffing. DHD sought specific recommendations for follow-up activities based on their self-assessment findings. For the site visit, we focused on the "Informatics Vision and Governance" section of PHII's Building an Informatics-Savvy Health Department self-assessment.
Overall observations and takeaways
While the differences between these two health departments were striking, in the end, everyone is trying to get to the same place. We learned that there is a great deal of interest in building robust informatics systems, but the big challenges for everyone are resources and time. Findings from the PHII tools can help health departments justify this commitment to leadership and stakeholders.
Not surprisingly, our team had some takeaway lessons as well, so in a way you could say we did our own "self-assessments" during this project. We are now working on some refinements to the tools based on these experiences, and hope to make them available soon.

We have lost the war on cancer. We spend $150 billion each year treating it, yet — a few innovations notwithstanding — a patient with cancer is as likely to die of it as one was fifty years ago. Most new drugs add mere months to one's life at agonizing physical and financial cost.
In The First Cell, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. A lyrical journey from hope to despair and back again, The First Cell explores cancer from every angle: medical, scientific, cultural, and personal. Indeed, Raza describes how she bore the terrible burden of being her own husband's oncologist as he succumbed to leukemia. Like When Breath Becomes Air, The First Cell is no ordinary book of medicine, but a book of wisdom and grace by an author who has devoted her life to making the unbearable easier to bear.

Davis will be going back to basics at Ardley
Ardley United manager Paul Davis will be going back to basics for Saturday's FA Vase tie with Tuffley Rovers.
Monday, 19th September 2016, 10:43 am
Updated Wednesday, 5th October 2016, 1:53 pm
Ardley United's Jack Kennedy takes on Longlevens' Luke Kavanagh
Ardley were punished heavily by Longlevens in Saturday's UHLSport Hellenic League clash despite taking an early lead and conceded four goals for the second time in four days to lose 4-1.
And Davis will be looking for a good response in Saturday's first round tie.
Davis said: "I take full responsibility for the result and the performance, as I keep picking the wrong team. I keep picking players who do not want to work hard enough off the ball and selecting creative players who are not creating when we do have the ball.
"So we go back to basics and we have 11 players who want to work hard."
Ardley took the lead just three minutes into the premier division contest when a Reece Bayliss free-kick was met by Bradley Cox, whose header looped up and in under the bar. But Longlevens equalised four minutes later when Ryan Dunn crossed for Dave Merrick who managed to get to the ball first and slot home.
Further efforts from Matt Cruse and Troy Bryan went begging before Brad Vanstone wasted a chance for the visitors.
But Longlevens took the lead in the 66th minute when a simple ball over the top saw two players creep in and beat the Ardley offside trap and Brad Martin had time to take a touch before slotting past the advancing Joe White.
The game was sewn up with 15 remaining when a United attack broke down and quick shift up field saw the ball bounce over the blue defensive line and Shaun O'Connor nipped in quickly, as White came out the striker side-footed over him into the empty net.
Three minutes later it was all over when a back pass to White was shielded on it's journey by Cox as he got his foot behind the ball to deny Martin but in nipped the unmarked Merrick to pounce and score his second goal of the game.
With four minutes remaining Cruse was upended in the box and the referee awarded a penalty. But to compound Ardley's miserable afternoon, Jacob Walcott saw his thumping spot-kick rebound back off the post and away to safety.

NOM's Ruth Institute To Hold 4 Day Anti-Gay Training Seminar For Youth
Will Kohler July 4, 2012
The Ruth Institute, NOM's (re)education arm is holding its annual weekend-long youth anti-gay hate seminar called "It Takes a Family To Raise A Village" for students (Emerging Leaders) from ages 16 to 30.
The (ITAF) conference, is geared towards introducing students to prominent anti-gay activists in order to prepare them to defend "natural marriage." (NOT "traditional marriage" but "natural marriage" ) so they will be prepared to fight at home and in their schools..
The 4 day "training seminar" is hosted at the Skyline Wesleyan Church, an evangelical Christian megachurch located in La Mesa, California and headed by notorious right-wing pastor (and Glenn Beck buddy) Jim Garlow and will take place from July 26th – July 29th and boasts a "Student Conference Faculty" that reads like a Who's Who of Anti-Gay Mein Kampf.
William Duncan is the director of the Marriage Law Foundation a Mormon backed foundation and previously co-chaired Utahns for a Better Tomorrow (UBT), a committee that supported the 2004 Utah amendment against same-sex marriage. Substantial donations were funneled to UBT through a shadowy nonprofit named Marriage Education Initiatives that was formed just two weeks before the election.
"Dr." Robert Gagnonan Associate Professor of the New Testament with a history of linking homosexuality to pedophilia, promoting "ex-gay" therapy, and condemning homosexuality as unhealthy and dysfunctional.
"Homosexual relationships are far worse than polyamory, worse even than adultery (isn't it unfair not to allow health benefits and inheritance laws to extend to one's mistress?), and comparable to, or more likely worse than, the worst forms of adult-incest (e.g., a man and his mother). "
Thomas Roberts, which the Ruth Institute touts as the "founder of the popular American Papist blog" but leaves out that Roberts is also NOM's blogger, Cultural Director, and "NextGen Project" head
Douglas Allen, Ph.D, A Canadian economist, and part-time professor at a third-rate Canadian University who claimed that gay and lesbian relationships are generally more unstable, unhealthy, and promiscuous than heterosexual relationships.
Paul Diamond, A UK barrister and vocal proponent of "ex-gay" therapy who has ties to an anti-gay hate group, and has lobbied against efforts to protect LGBT people from discrimination.
And of course the Queen of anti-gay propaganda at the Ruth Institute Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse. (Watch her video below and cringe)
Four sun filled fun days of anti-gay lies, bigotry and hate training for the young.
This is just how low and despicable the National Organization for Marriage and the Ruth Institute really is.
"Traditional morals" embraces the tactics of madmen, fascists and murderers. Indoctrinating and brainwashing innocent youth.

Stars Over Washington: Trump, the Presidency, and the GOP? Neptune at Work!
Trump, the Presidency, and the GOP? Neptune at Work!
Can Loosening Neptune Be Knitted Together?
Since February 2011, transit Neptune has floated through its own sign of Pisces and is now @12Pisces+ as September comes to a close. And spotlighting the sign Pisces, we basked beneath the rays of a Full Moon @13Pis53 on September 6, 2017, and who can forget the last Pisces Solar Eclipse on February 26, 2017 @8Pisces in the 19 South Series? Its cosmic Piscean implications of instability, fakery, and erosion are imprinted forever upon Mr. Trump and his loosely staffed administration.
Yes, this Neptune in Pisces transit has proven to be a murky proposition full of shadows and white hoods and when shady Politics and in-breach-of-the-public-trust politicians are factored in, there stirs a poisonous stew of scandals, secrets, corruption, falsehood, propaganda, the media and the masses, delusion, dissolution, undermining efforts, instability, weakness, confusion, over-sensitivity, disappointment, pessimism, distrust, incorrect perception, weird imaginings and notions, spies, breaches--leaks--hacks, other types of theft, draining, networks, webs, the Internet, masks, drugs including alcohol, oil-gas-water issues including floods and toxic poisons and chemicals, sabotage, sneaky criminal activities, hiding one's true character, false public images and public relations work, obscuring and veiling, misrepresentation, metaphysical interests, the supernatural, visions and dreams, plans without any real prospect of fulfillment, finagling and rigging (ex: elections), and a major potential for financial and/or religious fraud.
Now you, dear reader, may think of more connotations involving the merging qualities of astrological Neptune.
After all, in the worldly realms of Politics and Society, there grows paranoia, fear, fanaticism, gossip, epidemics and contagions of various sorts which seem to take precedence over Neptune in Pisces' admirable ability to inspire, show compassion and charity, and divinely uplift to the heights. Yes, I do believe that in 2017 America is in need of a spiritual awakening as much if not more than ever before!
But here we shall stick with the worldly material and political realms.

Politics Analysis
Trump can't figure out why the country he's dividing won't start uniting
By Philip Bump
National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics
The first time Donald Trump gave a scripted speech after winning the election was on the night of Nov. 8, 2016. During that election night address, he said that it was time for the United States to "bind the wounds of division" following his victory.
"To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation," he said, "I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It's time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me."
It didn't take. The next day, protests against Trump broke out across the country, protests that lasted, in some places, for days.
Around Thanksgiving of that year, he repeated the request.
"I am asking you to join me in this effort," he said in a recorded message. "It is time to restore the bonds of trust between citizens. Because when America is unified, there is nothing beyond our reach, and I mean absolutely nothing."
This will prove to be a great time in the lives of ALL Americans. We will unite and we will win, win, win!
On Jan. 20, 2017, he was inaugurated. "We must speak our minds openly," he said, "debate our disagreements honestly but always pursue solidarity. When America is united, America is totally unstoppable."
Over and over. We must unify. We should unite.
Trump's first State of the Union address Tuesday night was pitched by the president as another attempt at the same.
"I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity," he said during a lunch with members of the media. "Without a major event where people pull together," he added, "that's hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event, because usually that major event is not a good thing."
Democrats listen as President Trump delivers the State of the Union speech Tuesday. (Toni L. Sandys/The Washington Post)
In the speech itself, Trump made an explicit call for unity from Congress itself.
"Tonight," he said, "I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve."
This is admittedly a moment in which partisanship is about as strong as it has ever been. The gulf between Democrats and Republicans on their views of the president is yawning, a chasm that has widened under the past few chief executives. It would be challenging for any president to close that gap — or, as Trump notes, it would take a significant external challenge to do it. (The last time the gap was narrow was in the aftermath of 9/11.)
But it's impossible not to note that Trump has himself done very little to bring America together. For each of the speeches calling for unity, there are a score of interviews in which Trump bashes his political opponents and 50 tweets disparaging Democrats, Democratic politicians or left-leaning values.
That tendency was obvious in the address itself. When Trump said that our military "reminds us why we salute our flag, why we put our hands on our hearts for the Pledge of Allegiance and why we proudly stand for the national anthem," Trump was again dismissing the NFL protests against police violence. Black Americans and Democrats support those protests, according to a September 2017 CNN poll. Trump's mention of the issue may have prompted applause from his base, but it no doubt reminded his opponents of their frustrations with Trump on issues of race. And it's important to note: There was no reason to mention it. It was by no means integral to the oration.
Or the line that may be one of the longest-lasting from Trump's remarks:
"My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend Americans," he said. "To protect their safety, their families, their communities and their right to the American Dream. Because Americans are dreamers, too."
Set aside the policy prescriptions that accompanied this and the consistent linking of "immigrant" and "criminal." "Americans are dreamers, too" is an intentional appropriation of a term, "dreamers," used to describe a population of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as minors. Dreamers have been at the center of the recent debate over immigration reform. With those four words, Trump said to them and Americans at large that those immigrants aren't deserving of special consideration. He suggested to the immigrants, too, that they are part of a different group than "Americans." That only Americans are "citizens," as he made pointedly clear when he addressed "every citizen watching at home tonight," telling them that "together, we can achieve anything."
The line was to the immigration fight what "all lives matter" is to the issue of racial justice.
Again, this is squarely in line with what Trump's base might want to hear. But it was divisive and entirely avoidable. A president sincerely looking to unify with the opposition would probably be more deliberate about not saying things that irritate them. He would also, over the first year of his presidency, have advocated policy positions that weren't almost uniformly ones that meet only the desires of his base of support.
Trump's rhetoric on unity has never been sincere. Trump sees political agreement in the same way he sees the Justice Department or the military: as something that is owed to him as president. Trump's calls for unity are calls for the United States to support him and acquiesce to his policy goals. This is the source of the frustration that seeps out in those interviews and on Twitter. Having been a chief executive officer for years managing employees however he saw fit (and enjoying the Upton Sinclair-esque loyalty of those whose checks he signs), Trump is at a loss for why he should have to do something on his end to try to get Americans to rally to his cause. He's the boss!
So he keeps demanding it. He keeps giving speeches in which he calls for America to unite around him — and then keeps reminding Americans why they don't want to. Some of this was unavoidable, just as Republicans were never going to rally around President Barack Obama.
But much of it is Trump.

Q: get xml values with jquery What I'm trying to achieve is to get all the values which contain "/photovit_action" and for each of those values to be used in an img tag to display the images using the link that was provided.
This is my XML: Pastebin link
and this is my JQuery:
$.ajax({
    url: "http://test.be",
    type: "POST",
    dataType: "xml",
    data: soapMessage3,
    crossDomain: true,
    contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"UTF-8\"",
    processdata: false,
    success: function (xml) {
        $(xml).find('item').each(function () {
            var url = $(this).find("value:contains('/photovit_action')").text();
            alert(url);

            $('#test').append('');
        });
    }
});

Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

A: In your case there is no value element so the selector is wrong
$(xml).find('item:contains("photovit_action")').each(function () {
    var url = $(this).text();
    $('#test').append('');
});

Watch: New Trailer For Jacques Audiard's Palme d'Or Winner 'Dheepan'
Watch: New Trailer For Jacques Audiard's Palme d'Or Winner 'Dheepan'
Kevin Jagernauth
Jacques Audiard has been on an incredible run since 2005's "The Beat That My Heart Skipped," releasing the powerful "A Prophet" in 2009, and following it with "Rust And Bone" in 2012. Last spring, he returned with "Dheepan," the Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, and after a lengthy journey on the festival circuit, it's finally coming to stateside cinemas.
READ MORE: Cannes Review: Jacques Audiard's 'Dheepan' Is An Excellent, Searing & Compassionate Drama
Starring Jesuthasan Antonythasan, Kalieaswari Srinivasan, Claudine Vinasithamby, Vincent Rottiers, and Marc Zinga, the story follows three refugees from Sri Lanka — a man, woman, and child — who pose as a family to gain entry to France and start a new life. However, they soon discover that life in their new home has its own unique set of threats, setting off series of events that only grow in intensity. Here's the official synopsis:
Dheepan is a Tamil freedom fighter, a Tiger. In Sri Lanka, the Civil War is reaching its end, and defeat is near. Dheepan decides to flee, taking with him two strangers — a woman and a little girl — hoping that they will make it easier for him to claim asylum in Europe. Arriving in Paris, the 'family' moves from one temporary home to another until Dheepan finds work as the caretaker of a run-down housing block in the suburbs. He works to build a new life and a real home for his 'wife' and his 'daughter', but the daily violence he confronts quickly reopens his war wounds, and Dheepan is forced to reconnect with his warrior's instincts to protect the people he hopes will become his true family.
"Dheepan" opens on April 8th in the U.K. and May 6th in the U.S. Watch below. [i-d]

I have a gut feeling that Lavva Yogurt is exactly what many of you have been looking for. It's a unique dairy-free blend that has absolutely no added sugars, contains natural prebiotics, and packs in 50 billion live probiotics per serving.
Lavva Yogurt comes in several flavors, and is made with a base of coconut, pili nuts, and plantains. Coconut provides the creamy finish, plantains offer body and prebiotics, and the pili nuts add richness, minerals, and amino acids. Thanks to this magical combination, Lavva Yogurt is free of carrageenan and gums. It's also made without any artificial additives, flavors, or colors. Consequently, it suits vegan, paleo, and Whole30 diets.
I just discovered Lavva Yogurt, and it's the best dairy-free yogurt I've ever tasted! It actually has a "tang" like dairy yogurt. I've tried every brand I can get my hands on and many are good, but they taste like pudding. This tastes like yogurt should taste.
The original flavor has been a lifesaver. Lots of recipes call for plain yogurt, but most dairy free alternatives have some kind of distinct flavor. I can get away with using vanilla for sweet recipes, but the plain Lavva works very well for savory sauces.
I just tried the original, and while I appreciate the "no added sugar," it was AWFUL. It has a grainy texture that I just could not stomach. I threw it away. So far, it's the worst non-dairy yogurt I've tried since going vegan a few months ago.
If you have tried Lavva Yogurt, please comment on this post with your tasting notes. It helps others, too!

I've tried the Strawberry, Raspberry and Pineapple. The pineapple is amazing and the others not so much. The strawberry one is especially bitter but the pineapple is just the right amount of sweet.
If you love to taste grit and tanginess at the same time this is for you! Can't see myself buying this again!
Best vegan and sugar free yogurt I've ever tried.
I've only tried the plain version, so I can't speak to their flavored yogurts. But the plain is thick and creamy, slightly tangy, the perfect amount of sweet. It's not runny like a lot of yogurts; it's not overly sour like a lot of plain yogurts. It seriously is incredible, miles above any other non-dairy yogurt (or even most dairy yogurts) I've had.
The taste off the plain yogurt is good. Very expensive and yet the plastic cover is super cheap and hard to remove. Why not use a better grade?
I bought this at Whole Foods because they were out of Anita's Coconut Milk Yogurt. I am a gluten free, sugar free Vegan. I was a bit put off by the color but really wanted another breakfast option. It is tangy but I feel that is part of eating yogurt. I wanted to up the protein content so I put in my food processor with some marine collagen and frozen wild blueberries and topped with whole blueberries and toasted coconut. Delicious!!
So I just discovered Lava yogurt. I didn't realize we sold it here at my job but when I saw the mango (my favorite flavor) I just had to try it. It was so good I went back and tried the pineapple. Needless to say neither flavor was a disappointment. I am definitely a "fan" and now prefer Lava over any other brand.
The vanilla flavor is really good. I recently cut out all dairy, processed sugar, and gluten due to an autoimmune diagnosis. It only recently occurred to me that I was no longer getting the probiotics I had been consuming for years eating traditional yogurts and many autoimmune disorders are directly related to gut health. Most plant-based yogurts or water-based Kefirs do not contain 50 billion live probiotic cultures. For me this is a win. The taste and texture of the vanilla I like. It has more of a kefir taste than a yogurt taste, which I don't mind but could see where others would be put off. Protein is usually quite high in yogurt and this is relatively low but again my goal was increased probiotics, non-dairy, and no added sugars. I'm a fan so far. I bought it at Whole Foods and didn't find it overly expensive.
I tried the strawberry, and immediately checked the expiration date because I thought it had spoiled. After reading some of the reviews, I see other people felt the same way. The sour taste is out of control. Totally inedible!!!! I can't even comment on the texture, which I didn't notice because the taste was overwhelmingly disturbing. How is this on the market? It's hidious!! I bought 3 other flavors, but I intend to return them to Whole Foods.
I LOVE THIS YOGURT!!!! The plain is the best. I tried the strawberry and the tanginess (which i love in most cases) overpowered the strawberry flavor. However the plain is awesome. I love tangy yogurt and this hits the nail on the head. Reminds me of a thinner version of skyr in terms of tang. Not sure what one person was talking about as far as grittiness goes, maybe just their particular batch or a flavored variety but the plain and the strawberry had NO grittiness. Completely and lusciously smooth. I am mostly paleo although I consume grains in moderation as a treat but I'm strictly dairy free, organic, and clean ingredient eating as much as possible and Lavva has been one of the only yogurts to hit the mark. In the 16 oz tubs I can justify the purchase because I like it so much. The other yogurt I've tried and love is Anita's but the cost is way too high so I had to stop buying. My favorite old way of eating yogurt was with a dash of honey and that's what i do to doctor up the plain. I add a touch of honey, some fruit (cherries right now are my fav) and hazelnuts with a pinch of vanilla powder. DELISH!
Tried the raspberry. The texture was fine after dumping some of the liquid out. However, the taste was a bit too salty and too sour for me. I like my yogurt tangy but this was too much. And why put salt in it??
I found this at Whole Foods, and I was so happy to find a new vegan "yoghurt" choice, but then I tasted it. OMG, this is TERRIBLE! It tastes like someone spilled cornmeal and mustard in it. I thought the blueberry that I started with had gone bad, so I tried the strawberry–it was creamier, but nearly as inedible. I passed it around to three other family members, and no one survived. From five years old to fifty, the opinion was unanimously against this product. I honestly cannot imagine how this is considered desirable in any way other than on paper. Reality is a different story entirely.
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this Piley and for giving me a giggle! Cornmeal and mustard? Now that is interesting.
I have recently gained interest in consuming less dairy, and with that, found this dairy alternative yoghurt. While I understand it will never replace traditional yoghurt with dairy, the zest in this yoghurt, from the lime I am assuming, is inedible. I could not even close my mouth when I was chewing, it was just way too sour. It's such a pity because I didn't mind the texture, but I won't be trying this again. I tried the raspberry flavor.
I do appreciate the no sugar as most yogurts, dairy or non-dairy, are loaded with sugar. However, I found the Lavva to be inedible. It has a weird grainy texture and an earthy taste I just couldn't stomach, even with fruit and nuts added. I threw it away after a couple of bites. It is honestly the WORST non-dairy yogurt I've tried since going vegan.
I've never tried this yogurt, but it looks delicious! All of the flavors sound amazing, but especially the Pineapple flavor. Yum! Will have to try it!
Sounds and looks so delicious! I'll have to try this yogurt soon!
No added sugar?! Yogurts, dairy and nondairy are always packed with added sugars so these are amazing!!!
I haven't seen this one yet. I'll have to check it out and see if I can find it and give it a try as we're still on the hunt for one that my oldest loves.
I'm on the hunt for it too!
Thanks for chiming in on this Virginia! I agree on the price – I haven't found it in my local area yet, But $2 or more for a single dairy-free yogurt always makes me think twice.

Plague in the Ancient World
A Study from Thucydides to Justinian by Christine A. Smith. Throughout history, humans have been faced with disastrous catastrophes which must be endured in order to survive. One of the most incomprehensible disasters for humanity has been the plague. This term in Greek can refer to any kind of sickness; in Latin, the terms are plaga and pestis. In antiquity, two of the most devastating plagues were the Athenian plague of 430 B.C. and the Justinianic plague of 542 A.D. This paper will discuss these plagues, the manner in which they spread, and their consequences for the survivors. Also, the ways in which ancient writers wrote about these disasters will be discussed, with special reference to the role of the gods. Much of what is conventionally believed about these plagues comes from comparisons with the Black Death, a visitation of bubonic plague during the fourteenth century A.D. Although the sources for the Athenian and Justinianic plagues are insufficient, there is some question as to the validity of this analogy as an historical source.

Exploring Ancient World Cultures
Why Study Ancient World Cultures? An essay by Bill Hemminger. The question that initiates this program is a broad one: Why study ancient cultures? You might feel that the question is moot: students do study and will study ancient cultures; such study is an expected part of a tradition of intellectual development. The response to the why of the initial question is a matter of tradition, if not fact. A study of the ROMAN EMPIRE, a reading of Greek philosophy and literature, a look at the PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT -- these are all accepted parts of a Western education, aren't they?

You are now far less detectable. And it's time to convert: I'll need a target by end of the day.
And indeed without the seer, I think we're going to do OK.
I should have Ravebomb in my circle. Will see what's up.
Hellheart -- could go either way. You seem to be reluctant, so we can leave it alone.
Ozy -- I thought "That's pretty cliche," but I realized that in the Hot Fuzz game we killed Ozy twice (returned as a sub) before anyone could convert him. I don't know if he's ever been converted in a game like this. And if we convert him, I'm putting him in the private board tout de suite.
Rekard -- again, if we convert him, I'm deffo putting him in the comms board.
thoughts? I can easily be convinced of another.
Will check the board again before I go to work. Will vote late. Looks like rain, so I probably won't be running a soccer practice.
Getting Ozy early would be pretty useful. More useful than in the mid-game. Especially since he has very good instincts for sniffing special types. I'll put in a provisional Convert: Ozymandias, which you could override if you like. I should be around to confirm.
I also quite like Rekard.
I'm thinking Hellheart can be controlled through inclusion in the private board, but I'll definitely be keeping an ear out for how others are reacting to him.
Do the twins change our plans at all? Could probably manage to control that four vote bloc with one of them in the Network, and it provides a natural retaliation if one is taken out.
Only downside is they've gotten quite a bit of attention today, and probably will continue to do so.
Admetus wrote: Do the twins change our plans at all? Could probably manage to control that four vote bloc with one of them in the Network, and it provides a natural retaliation if one is taken out.
Hmm. Sell me on it... Are they life-linked? Disaster strikes if not.
If so, then the one that wasn't fighting rekard might be a valuable addition.
I'm expecting they are linked, but I don't really know anything for sure. It's good they came public with it, they were pretty obviously the most likely candidates anyways.
It may be too dangerous to toy with, but that four vote bloc is just tempting to try to control. We'll have to see if they pick up any more votes like Meta4's after their reveal. Alternatively, I can use my power to make sure they die tonight if they're leading but using twin-vote power to escape.
You're right, This may be worth the risk regardless. Your call. The rain looks like it is going to miss us, so I will be posting from the phone until very late.
Tomorrow looks a lot better for me.
Updating conversion request in case I fail to check in later. I don't want to consider switching to Okaros unless it's clear the twins are safe, so my default will be Convert Ozymandias > Hellheart.
Did blindsniper just cop to being a vigilante?
Necklessone: are there roles that are going to be immune to conversion?
Iron Clad Burrito wrote: Necklessone: are there roles that are going to be immune to conversion?
While I can't confirm whether or not there are any the game, such a power wouldn't be off the table if there were also drawbacks.
Checking in ... not sure why DOM picked up steam all of a sudden. I'd given up on that. Well, not likely to vote for him now, I don't feel like jumping on the leading wagon. I'll just hang out, nothing needs changing yet.
OK, I now believe that the twins are life-linked. Your call on adding them; I will support the change if you want. I'm also fully on board with either Ozy or Hellheart.
Or you can try to ensure their death. That works too.

Confidence That Breaks Through Barriers
Kenyon's Story
Sixteen-year-old Kenyon celebrated his high school graduation this past December. Graduating a year-and-a-half early is an achievement, and Kenyon plans to take a much-earned gap year for 2022, utilizing the time to rest, recharge and explore various hands-on learning opportunities.
Receiving a 2021 Fusion Foundation scholarship not only took the financial burden off his family's shoulders, according to Kenyon's mother, but it also allowed him to learn one-on-one and finish his high school academics early.
"Fusion allowed Kenyon to focus on the curriculum at his pace, and it challenged him to use critical thinking skills to solve problems independently," she says. "The teachers/mentors held Kenyon accountable for his academic achievement and helped bridge the gap for a revolutionary way of learning. Fusion was the missing piece to Kenyon's academic journey and our family balance."
Kenyon's time at Fusion helped him focus on his strengths and balance out his academic deficits, giving him the confidence to push through barriers.
Kenyon's teacher/mentor Kiana Penson says, "I'm most proud of the developed confidence I have witnessed as Kenyon has achieved his own personal successes in the classroom! Kenyon has been such a joy and it has been my honor to be a part of his academic journey."
Post-graduation Kenyon now has a chance to pause and explore various opportunities in non-traditional and traditional settings. "This is an opportunity we do not take for granted, and we are excited to witness his journey and future life choices," says his mom.
The family also extends sincere gratitude to all the teachers at Fusion Academy—Sugar Land, and especially to Ms.Kiana, Ms.Chrystal, Ms.Hannah, and Mr.Shayne for being part of Kenyon's journey from the beginning. "We appreciate your expertise in helping close this chapter of Kenyon's journey."

Active Rubisco In Biotechnology Essay
808 words - 4 pages
Active Rubisco is the proportion of enzyme that is catalytically competent and can contribute to the process of CO2 fixation by carboxylation (Carfts-Brandner and Salvucci 2000). For Rubisco to remain activated, it requires the ATPase Rubisco activator enzyme known as RCA to facilitate the removal of sugar phosphates from the active site. In the absence of a molecular 3D structure of RCA, understanding the precise interaction details between RCA and Rubisco remains obscure. Until the 3D structure details are available, researchers deal with RCA as an ATPase from AAA+ protein family (Neuwald et al. 1999). This protein family members are known to use a region close to the C-terminal domain ...view middle of the document...
2007). Therefore, RCA is a major limiting factor for the process of CO2 fixation leaded by Rubisco and requires more attention when planning for enhancing CO2 fixation or the photosynthesis as a whole.
Mutagenesis studies have always used microbial systems as a tool for screening functional Rubisco or RCA through positive selection or complementation of auxotrophic mutants (Spreitzer et al. 2001; Smith and Tabita 2003), these evolutionary studies were designed to use the chemoautotrophic or photosynthetic microorganisms that already possess the Rubisco-like proteins and the CO2 fixation process within their genomes (Parikh et al. 2006). The outcome kinetics of such studies were largely affected by the internal proteins of the CO2 fixing microorganism with results that expressed the novel functional Rubisco along with the other existing mechanisms that phototrophic cells use in fixing CO2 (Parikh et al. 2006). Recently, researchers are redirecting their research to use E. coli that has been metabolically engineered in their screening tests (Mueller-Cajar and Whitney 2008). Metabolically engineered E. coli offers a perfect screening system for functional Rubisco mutants, E. coli does not fix CO2 but it possess 8 of 11 Calvin Cycle enzymes and it is relatively easy to engineer (Parikh et al. 2006). The advantages C. coli presents over the other microorganisms as a tool for functional Rubisco screening...

The top outpatient injuries cited were sprains and strains, afflicting roughly 49 percent of all military personnel. Additionally, a number of injuries resulting in hospitalization were caused by falls or near falls, motor vehicle-related incidents, and sports.
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) adds that, on average, veterans are more likely to endure severe pain conditions than individuals who have never served, with the percentages being 9.1 and 6.4 respectively. In fact, they rank higher in all pain categories across the board, whether the pain is felt in their back, neck, jaw, or other area.
Though not all of these injuries can be avoided during active duty, there are a few modalities that can assist with the prevention and treatment of injuries afflicting our nation's military personnel at higher rates. One that some of the military branches and their members have turned to with more frequency is acupuncture.
The NCCIH indicates that there are many studies which have found that acupuncture can help with a variety of chronic pain issues. This includes pain associated with the lower back, knee pain, or pain in the head and neck area.
Furthermore, the reasoning behind acupuncture's effectiveness still remains partially a mystery says the NCCIH, though it is believed that an individual's belief in this particular methodology helps support its positive results. Results that can greatly benefit our nation's military personnel.
"As a retired U.S. Air Force officer and Nationally Board Certified Acupuncturist, I see many veterans and active military personnel at my practice who enjoy the benefits of acupuncture," says Constance Bradley, Ph.D., L.Ac., Captain, US Air Force (Retired) and owner of Scottsdale Integrative Acupuncture.
Specifically, 44 percent of the study participants reported having chronic pain, compared to 26 percent of the general population. Opioid use was higher as well, with 15.1 percent of military personnel using this category of drugs compared to 4 percent of the population at large.
Though opioid addiction has been a major issue in recent years, this treatment method appears to be more prevalent in military populations, making drugless treatment methods even more beneficial for this group of individuals. The U.S. Army reports that this is one major reason acupuncture has been introduced into their treatment regimens, lowering service members reliance on opioids a full two percentage points within a three year period.
The Digital Journal reports that other branches of military have found similar positive effects. "Moreover, acupuncture does not have any side effects or downtime thereby making it an ideal treatment for those in military service," adds Bradley.
Acupuncture can also help service members with post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD, says Bradley. PTSD is a condition that is characterized by anxiety and stress that results in avoidance, arousal and reactivity, and cognition and mood symptoms according to the National Institute of Mental Health. "PTSD can be a consequence of experiencing combat or repeated exposure to dangerous situations," explains Bradley.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 11-20 percent of military personnel who served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom have PTSD. That number is even higher for Gulf War veterans (12 percent) and those who served in the Vietnam War (15 percent).
Acupuncture helps with PTSD through lowering anxiety and stress levels, says Bradley, and research confirms it as one pilot study reported by the NCCIH found that individuals with this condition received benefits consistent with cognitive-behavioral therapy after undergoing just 12 weeks of care. Additionally, these positive effects were sustained for three months post-treatment.
Acupuncture appears to help our nation's military service members on a number of different levels. They deserve at least that, and more.
