Coral reefs are precious and vital to the earth. These reefs cover less than one percent of the ocean floor, but support about 25% of all marine creatures.
Ever wanted to glow in the dark? Around 75 species of mushrooms can! In one of nature's most secretive light shows, these mushrooms glow to attract spore-spreading bugs which spread the fungi's spores further afield.


We can learn to leverage more out of raw materials.
I worked with bamboo on different projects, and its potential impressed me at multiple levels. Bamboo grows from the ground straight up at the same thickness that it leaves the earth. It is a grass that has incredible tensile strength and has multiple applications for the Japanese people. The drawing on the left side is what a bamboo plant looks like when it leaves the ground. In this case, the diameter is 3 3/4". The size of any given bamboo shoot within a "system" mirrors the size of the other family members. When you see a bamboo grove, it is not a cluster of individual plants but a single macro-organism. Some of the Japanese "giant" bamboo may grow at a rate of a foot or more in a day. We cut down some that was over fifty feet tall. The material is still used today for anything from scaffolding in building construction to basket making. More than two decades after my work in Japan, my wife and I incorporated bamboo for the floor in one of the rooms that we were renovating for our solar home outside of Philadelphia.
I have also seen the versatility that bamboo offers for fabric and even replacements for the disposable paper towels that we too often churn through. Bamboo is an excellent fast-growing renewable resource with many more potential applications. We have an opportunity in America to align botanists with material scientists and explore more ways to leverage cost-effective applications of renewable resources with building needs.

What would happen if histones were to be mutated and made rich in acidic amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid in place of basic amino acids such as lysine and arginine?
If histones were to be mutated and made rich in acidic amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid in place of basic amino acids such as lysine and arginine. This mutation would make the histones acidic and negatively charged in nature and histones would not be able to bind to DNA because both would be negatively charged. Hence, the DNA would not be packed and chromatin would not be formed.
Recall the experiments done by Frederick Griffith, Avery, MacLeod and McCarty, where DNA was speculated to be the genetic material. If RNA, instead of DNA was the genetic material, would the heat killed strain of Pneumococcus have transformed the R-strain into virulent strain? Explain.
If RNA, instead of DNA was the genetic material, the heat killed strain of Pneumococcus would not have transformed the R-strain into virulent strain. This is because RNA is not thermo stable. Which means that RNA is more prone to degradation by heat because of the presence of 2 ′ OH group in its ribose. As a result of which it would have lost the capability to change the R-strain to virulent strain.
You are repeating the Hershey-Chase experiment and are provided with two isotopes: 32P and 15N (in place of in the original experiment) . How do you expect your results to be different?
Use of 15N in place of 35S in the original experiment would not give any conclusive result because:
1.32P is radioactive and 15N is non-radioactive. So, it՚s presence won՚t be detected.
2. If hypothetically 15N would be radioactive, then it՚s presence would be seen both inside the cell as it gets incorporated in the DNA as nitrogenous base and also as a supernatant as it gets incorporated in the amino group of amino acids.
There is only one possible sequence of amino acids when deduced from a given nucleotides. But multiple nucleotides sequence can be deduced from a single amino acid sequence. Explain this phenomena.
Some amino acids are coded by more than one codon. This phenomenon is called as degeneracy of codon. Hence, from such amino acids multiple nucleotide sequence would be obtained. For example, Isoleucine has three codons AUU, AUG and AUA. The following nucleotide sequences are obtained:
a. AUG-AUU
b. AUG-AUG
c. AUG-AUA
All the three sequences code for Met-Ile.
A single base mutation in a gene may not 'always' result in loss or gain of function. Do you think the statement is correct? Defend your answer.
The above statement is correct. It is because if mutation takes place at the third base pair, it does not lead to a phenotypic change. These mutations are known as silent mutations. If the mutations take place at any other base than the third base phenotypic changes may take place. For Example: Substitution of Valine instead of Glutamic acid in the beta haemoglobin chain of the RBC՚s leads to sickle cell Anaemia.
A low level of expression of lac operon occurs at all the time. Can you explain the logic behind this phenomena?
Lactose present in the external medium can only enter the bacterium when the bacterium has permease within it. Low level of expression of lac operon is required for permease to form within the bacteria.
How has the sequencing of human genome opened new windows for treatment of various genetic disorders? Discuss amongst your classmates.
The sequencing of human genome opened new windows for treatment of various genetic disorders because:
1. It led to better understanding of genetic disorders.
2. Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic disorders are better understood.
3. Which genes is for which disease is identified.
The total number of genes in humans is far less than the previous estimate . Comment.
The total number of genes in humans is far less than the previous estimate (up to gene) because of the presence of large portions of repetitive sequencing regions in the human genome. These are the stretches of the DNA sequence that are repeated numerous times hence the non-repetitive gene count is less, if the repetitive portions are not added. These stretches have no coding functions but make it possible to understand chromosome structure, dynamics and evolution.

Workers' strikes and protests increase pressure on regime in Belarus
Workers gather outside the electrical engineering factory "VI Kozlov" (Pic: MK Belarus on Telegram)
Resistance to Belarusian president Aleksander Lukashenko's regime is growing in the streets and workplaces.
Thousands of people faced down riot cops and the KGB secret police in the capital Minsk for the third night in a row on Tuesday.
Earlier that day several factories and workplaces walked out at 12 noon as part of a general strike call in the wake of the rigged presidential election last weekend. It was made by three opposition blogs—Nexta Live, Belamova and MK Belarus—that have urged people to take to the streets.
Belarusian ruler Lukashenko claimed victory over liberal challenger Sviatlana Tikhanovskaya, with 81 percent of the vote compared to her 11 percent.
Police killed one man and arrested at least 3,000 people on Monday night in the protests that erupted in the capital Minsk and other towns and cities.
Tikhanovskaya fled to Lithuania on Tuesday, and a video emerged of her asking people "not to go to the square". She said this was for the sake of her children.
The police violence—and Tikhanovskaya's seemingly forced appeal—has not deterred protesters.
Workers at the electrical engineering factory "VI Kozlov" in Minsk downed tools and put their demands to management. These included to "immediately end violence against unarmed civilians", the "release of people detained during the peaceful demonstrations" and to "turn on the internet to stop the likelihood of rumours".
Some passers-by gathered to support the Kozlov strikers.
Two sections at the Grodno Azot petrochemicals complex, one of the regime's largest firms, also downed tools.
Workers at the Minsk Margarine Works food company walked out, with passing cars beeping their horns in support. And staff at the Institute of Chemistry of New Materials at the National Academy of Sciences, a sort of state-run think tank, also joined the general strike call.
Trolley bus drivers on one of Minsk's fleets refused to work after they found out a driver had been injured.
And workers downed tools after an "uneasy" atmosphere at the RUE Belenergosetprojekt scientific research facility in the capital.
In a sign of how the regime is losing its grip on power, Minsk Tractor Plant workers defied threats from one of its stooges.
Around 70 engineers and technicians from several departments walked out and rallied outside the building. The Deputy Director for Ideological Affairs at the company came out at lunchtime and tried to frighten them back into work.
This failed because, reports Nexta Live, "No one believes ideologues anymore."
Outside the capital, Belshina tyre factory workers in the industrial city of Babrusyk walked out to demand free elections. A statement from one worker said, "We, the workers of Belshina, are in solidarity with the people of Belarus. We have declared a strike."
The Zabinka Sugar Refinery in the western district of Brest stopped production. Workers gathered and demanded a meeting with the chairman of the district executive committee, a local appointee of the regime.
It is this sort of action by workers—on a much bigger scale—that could break the Lukashenko regime.
Lukashenko came to power in the chaos that followed the collapse of Stalinist Russia and the Eastern Bloc.
While these countries claimed to be "socialist", they were in fact state capitalist societies where working class people had no control.
We, the workers of Belshina, are in solidarity with the people of Belarus
The ruling class—the state bureaucracy—behaved in the same way as bosses do under free market capitalism. Its aim was accumulating profit and to get ahead of international rivals, not ordinary people's needs.
Revolutions overthrew the Eastern Bloc regimes in 1989 and Stalinist Russia broke apart into 16 republics.
They transitioned from state capitalism to a free market capitalism. Communist politicians became "democratic" politicians and the managers of state owned firms became private managers. Lukashenko, for instance, was the manager of a farming business.
Ordinary people, who had taken to the streets demanding freedom and social justice, paid the price of free market policies.
The way this played out was slightly different in Belarus to other republics.
When the wall came tumbling down
In Belarus, the Stalinist bureaucracy was particularly conservative and had resisted any reforms. But a series of powerful workers' protests in April 1991 shook the Communist Party to its foundation. It included a wave of strikes across more than 80 state-owned companies in Minsk, some organised through independent trade unions.
A combination of splits at the top and protests led to Belarus declaring independence in August 1991.
But after independence, the same figures retained a large degree of power. Unlike in Russia and other Eastern Bloc states, Belarus' rulers didn't pursue large scale free market reforms fearing it could destabilise their rule.
Lukashenko has gambled on playing off rival imperialisms, the US, Russia and the European Union (EU).
By staying within the Russian camp, his regime got huge subsidies to prop up the economy. But, for example, the failure to have mass privatisation has also angered some Russian oligarchs hoping for new markets.
And more recently Lukashenko has courted investment from the West and China, both competitors of Russia, by backing some neoliberal policies.This shift has been strongly resisted by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
In a context of rising imperialist rivalry between the West and Russia, it's no surprise that various Western leaders are posing as supporters of the fight for freedom in Belarus. They hope a new president would be firmly pro-Western and pro-market and so would weaken their competitor.
A genuine alternative to Lukashenko's authoritarianism is not more free market capitalism, which has hammered working class people. It lies in the streets and workplaces with workers fighting for democracy, social justice and a society where they are in charge.

When I think of yachts, there are billowing white sails helmed by a steady skipper from the stern, smart deck shoes, and Hemingway's macho protagonists who toil under harsh conditions in briny sea air as they muse, "A man is never lost at sea."
My vision stands in sharp contrast to the current state of elite sailing at the America's Cup. The 165-year-old contest is yachting on the next level, a cross between X Games adrenaline and a Formula One face-off. Much like modern day motorsports, sailing is a sport steeped in science.


The Saxon Hill trail network in Essex is a classic. The trails are characterized as classic smooth and flowy singletrack. This immensely popular network is home to the Flo, FreeFall, and Extendo trails. Extendo is a beginner trail constructed by the FOTW Trail Crew in conjunction with students from the Center for Technology in Essex. Flo is a local classic that offers multiple loops within itself that are appropriate for a variety of users and skill levels. FreeFall is a varied jump trail with multiple lines that cater to advanced and expert riders. The trails at Saxon Hill wind through municipal property—many thanks to the Town of Essex for their generous access.

Cyber attacks against US government agencies just the tip of the iceberg
The recent cyberattack against various US federal government agencies and leading security companies like FireEye maybe just the tip of the iceberg.
On December 13th security researchers at FireEye uncovered a global intrusion campaign that has compromised public and private sector organizations at an unprecedented scale. The attacks, believed to have begun in Spring 2020, were carried out via trojanized updates to SolarWind's Orion IT monitoring platform, a widely deployed network management application. Given the popularity of this product and length of time the backdoor had gone undetected, the security community is still working to assess the true scope of the attack. "What is known to be compromised so far, is probably just the tip of the iceberg", claimed Richard Staynings, Chief Security Strategist for Cylera and renowned healthcare security evangelist.
The attackers gained access to SolarWind's update server, possibly due to an accidental leak of the server's credentials on Github, and uploaded multiple trojanized updates between March and May of this year. The updates, which the attackers managed to digitally sign so that they appear authentic and untampered, included a malicious component named SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll, now referred to by security researchers as the SUNBURST backdoor. The backdoor begins by laying dormant for up to two weeks, distancing its subsequent activity from the date of the update's installation. It then begins to communicate with external command and control (C2) servers that can instruct the backdoor to perform reconnaissance and provide attackers with access to the network.
The highly sophisticated attacks which are thought to have successfully infiltrated the U.S. State, Treasury, Homeland Security, and Commerce departments, as well as other government agencies and commercial enterprises are thought to be the work of a group known as APT29, a Russian hacker collective also known as Cozy Bear, believed to be affiliated to the country's foreign intelligence service, the SVR.
According to multiple U.S. news sources, APT29 has been implicated in numerous cyber attacks against the United States and other countries over the period of many years. This includes the 2016 hack of the US Democratic Party in the run up to the presidential election and many other cyber attacks against state and commercial entities. Although not mentioned by name, FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia, in a recent interview stated that "We are witnessing an attack by a nation with top-tier offensive capabilities." It seems likely therefore that a sophisticated attack of this nature was executed at the very least by a well funded nation state actor.
So how can I detect if my hospital network has been compromised by this attack?
Cylera's threat detection systems have the ability to detect the presence of this malware using distinct characteristics of its behavior and control infrastructure. This includes detecting communication with IP addresses and queries for domain names that are associated with the malware's C2 servers, signs of the malware's communication protocol, and suspicious DNS queries that match the DGA (domain name generation algorithm) scheme used by the malware, among others. Activity and toolsets that have been used by the attackers during later stages of their kill chain, such as the Cobalt Strike framework used as they move laterally through the victim's network, are similarly detected.
In addition to traditional IoC-based detection mechanisms, Cylera's threat detection systems assess the network activity of SolarWinds products for signs of anomalous activity, such as DNS queries or HTTP communication that is uncharacteristic of the product. As attackers can - and frequently do - update their malware or move their control infrastructure to evade network defenses that are looking for the IPs, domains, and communication patterns of the malware's previous version, behavioral analysis is a necessity for continued detection of, and protection from, attacks by the ever-tenacious and increasingly-prolific APT groups that plague today's security landscape.
Organizations that use SolarWinds products, regardless of the security products they have in place, should immediately follow the instructions outlined in CISA's Emergency Directive 21-01. This includes powering down all SolarWinds Orion products of version 2019.4 through 2020.2.1 and analyzing network traffic, as well as alerts from network security products, for any activity involving known indicators of compromise. For organizations that do not have network monitoring products that will perform this analysis automatically, public IoCs have been provided by FireEye and include the following domains and IPs:
panhardware[.]com 204.188.205.176
zupertech[.]com 51.89.125.18
websitetheme[.]com 34.203.203.23
highdatabase[.]com 139.99.115.204
deftsecurity[.]com 13.59.205.66
databasegalore[.]com 5.252.177.21
freescanonline[.]com 54.193.127.66
thedoccloud[.]com 54.215.192.52
incomeupdate[.]com 5.252.177.25
Note: despite the malware's usage of the domain panhardware[.]com there has been no published evidence of abuse of PAN products or hardware in the attacks.
While this campaign has undoubtedly cemented a spot on the list of the most notable cyber-attacks, it is not the first attack to exploit a supply chain to expand reach and will certainly not be the last. Supply chain attacks are particularly potent in healthcare, as the number of applications, remote services, and networked products required to power the modern healthcare environment continues to grow rapidly. Simply understanding the attack surface has become increasingly difficult, as it is not only comprised by typical software vendors and remote service providers, but by thousands of network-connected medical and IoT devices that call home to their vendors for updates or remote servicing.
The possibility of attackers using medical devices to traverse the supply chain and compromise healthcare networks in a way analogous to SolarWinds attack is not just hypothetical, but very much a reality. Malware named Kwampirs, first publicly exposed in 2018 by Symantec, has targeted organizations via supply chain attacks since 2015 while maintaining a worrying focus on healthcare. Cylera researchers have discovered Kwampirs infections not only at healthcare organizations in the US, but at medical imaging software vendors, printer manufacturers, and one of the primary manufacturers of medical imaging equipment, whose remote support VPN connections, used for equipment like CT machines, provided the malware with a means of spreading from vendor to hospital.
These campaigns show us that attackers are learning to break into networks through avenues many organizations barely know exist and hiding in places most would not think to look. While organizations must take immediate action to ensure they are not affected by the SolarWinds attack, this action is only one step towards ensuring the continued security of their networks and continuity of their operations. While it may be some time before we see another campaign of this scale, it will not be long until we see yet another campaign use these tactics. "Organizations must build defenses to protect from novel threats that may not yet be known to the security community, and must work to increase their awareness of the endpoints and behaviors present on their networks so they can ensure their security programs consider the entirety of their attack surface" claimed Paul Bakoyiannis, CTO and co-founder of Cylera.
"The organizations so far that have reported to be impacted by this supply chain attack are just the tip of the iceberg", claimed Staynings. Over the next few days and weeks we are going hear about a lot more. "Anyone running the affected software would be well advised to follow the advice of CISA and others, isolate and forensically investigate systems running this software then undertake a full regression test of all applications and data to ensure that other malware has not made its way to systems. Any attack of this nature and sophistication will likely have established multiple levels of persistence" claimed Staynings. "It may be months before we get to fully put this behind us" he added.

Lubetkin Communications Wins Second Prestigious Astra Award From New Jersey Communications, Advertising, and Marketing Association (NJCAMA)
July 26, 2012 PodcastSteve Burlington County Chamber of Commerce, New Jersey Communications Advertising and Marketing Association (NJCAMA), News Releases, Video 2
CHERRY HILL, NJ – July 26, 2012 – Lubetkin Global Communications LLC, the Cherry Hill-based audio and video documentary production company, has won an Astra Award from the New Jersey Communications, Advertising, and Marketing Association (NJCAMA). The award is the sixth honor the firm has earned for its multimedia productions since its founding in 2004.
Members board the bus for Burlington County Chamber of Commerce economic development tour
Lubetkin Global Communications won a Bronze ASTRA award in the "Video longer than three minutes" category for "Burlington County Chamber Members Learn about County Economic Development," a video report it produced for the Burlington County Chamber of Commerce. The Astra award was presented at NJCAMA's awards dinner at Jasna Polana in Princeton on July 25.
The report, featuring video recorded during the Chamber's economic development bus tour of Burlington County last August, includes voice over by Steve Lubetkin, managing partner of Lubetkin Global Communications, and comments by leaders at several business establishments visited on the tour.
"It's tremendously gratifying to have NJCAMA's jury of professional communicators recognize our video production," said Lubetkin. "Producing high quality video for the web that tells an organization's story vividly, with images of its activities, is no longer expensive or difficult to do. Producing radio and TV style content for the Internet can help organizations reach a worldwide audience cost-effectively. Nothing is more valuable for raising an organization's visibility in a Google search than creating high-quality video and audio news programming on a regular basis."
This is Lubetkin's second ASTRA Award. In 2010, the firm received a Silver ASTRA award for a series of business-to-business audio podcasts produced for The ACE Group, a global insurer-reinsurer.
The firm has also won four JASPER Awards from the Jersey Shore Public Relations and Advertising Association (JSPRAA).
In 2011, it won a Silver JASPER Award in the Television/Video Documentary (10-30 minutes) category for its video documentary produced for The Pines at Whiting, a continuing care retirement community in the Whiting section of Manchester Township, Ocean County; and a Silver JASPER Award in the Television/Video TV Special Programming category for its promotional video prepared on behalf of the 2011 American Transplant Congress, a joint event of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons and the American Society of Transplantation held in Philadelphia.
In 2008, Lubetkin Communications won a Silver JASPER Award for podcast audio programs it produced for NAPL, a global printing and graphic communications trade association, and in 2009, it shared a JASPER Award for a video documentary with Take This Journey LLC, another Cherry Hill video firm, for a program produced for Samost Jewish Family and Children's Services of Southern New Jersey.

Music Friday: Chris Isaak's Promising New Relationship Hits a Speed Bump in 'Notice the Ring'
Welcome to Music Friday when we bring you fun songs with jewelry, gemstones or precious metals in the title or lyrics. Today, rocker Chris Isaak's promising new relationship hits a speed bump in his 2002 release, "Notice the Ring."
In this song, Isaak's character is having a great time getting to know a woman he just met at a club. The chemistry is right and this could be the beginning of something special, but Isaak notices a diamond ring on the woman's finger. Is it an engagement ring, a piece of fashion jewelry or a sentimental bauble that was handed down from her grandma?
He sings, "I notice the ring, does it mean anything / You don't gotta fool me if you say it's only jewelry / I believe you when you slip off the ring, oh baby / It's got complicated if it's more than just gold plated / Are you single, does it mean anything?"
While introducing this song at his concerts, Isaak offers light-hearted advice to the men in the audience.
"When you meet a woman for the first time, it's important to focus on her hands. Not the whole body, but the hands," Isaak joked. "Look at the hands and they will tell you so much about a person. Particularly, notice the ring."
Penned by Isaak, "Notice the Ring" appeared as the eighth track of the artist's eighth studio album, Always Got Tonight.
The singer-songwriter, musician, actor and talk show host is best known for his soaring falsetto, 1950s Rock and Roll style and his song, "Wicked Game," which was featured in the 1990 film, Wild at Heart.
The son of a potato chip factory worker mom and a forklift driver dad, Isaak was born in Stockton, Calif., in 1956. His mom claims that Isaak showed musical intuition at eight months of age. She noticed that he would be moved by the sad country songs that played on the radio. Isaac started his first band in 1984 and was signed by Warner Bros. one year later.
Fun Trivia: Isaak was an amateur boxer and had his nose broken seven times, according to Discussions Magazine. At the time, his good looks and combed-back hair earned him the nickname, Elvis.
We hope you enjoy the audio track of Isaak performing "Notice the Ring." The lyrics are below if you'd like to sing along...
"Notice the Ring"
Written and performed by Chris Isaak.
You got everything
Slow walking
You come up
Then I notice the ring
I notice the ring
You're talking, I'm listening,
But I don't hear a thing
Is it something he bought you
Or only a ring, oh baby
I notice the ring, does it mean anything
You don't gotta fool me if you say it's only jewelry
I believe you when you slip off the ring, oh baby
It's got complicated if it's more than just gold plated
Are you single, does it mean anything?
I notice the ring, we gotta slow down
She's laughing, stop worrying
Get in the swing
Heart pounding, I'm wondering
Just what did she mean
Say nobody's waiting
That's it's nothing just gold plating
That it really doesn't mean anything
Say your grandma left it to you
Just all you need to do is tell me that it's no wedding ring,
Nice diamond
We gotta slow down

Pension plans lost $445 billion in 2008 - study
NEW YORK, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The funding levels of U.S. corporate pension plans tumbled $445 billion in 2008, reaching historically low levels as drops in the debt and stock markets hurt asset values, according to a study on Thursday.
The sharp losses wiped out the $78 billion over-funded surplus from 2007 and left companies with a combined $366 billion pension funding deficit, the study of pension data by consulting firm Watson Wyatt Worldwide Inc WW.N showed.
The study looked at pension plans at 450 Fortune 1000 companies, representing some of the largest U.S. companies.
The funding drop was largely caused by a 24 percent fall in the value of pension plan assets, according to the study. Adding to the problem, pension plan liabilities also rose due to an increase in bond rates, Watson Wyatt said.
The firm said it expects that 61 percent of pension plans will have funding levels of only 50 percent to 70 percent for 2008. By contrast, at the end of 2007, 46 percent of pension plans were between 90 percent and 110 percent funded and only 5 percent had funding levels in the 50 percent to 70 percent range.
"Changes in funded status are wreaking havoc with the projections companies have made," Alan Glickstein, senior retirement consultant at Watson Wyatt, said in a statement.
"Large and unexpected pension contributions will require companies to divert funds they had earmarked for other business activities into their pension plans precisely when they can least afford it." (Reporting by Emily Chasan, editing by Maureen Bavdek)

The Aftermath – Part 4
22 الثلاثاء أكتوبر 2013
Al ZawHry, Bin Laden, dispersal, Gaza, Rabaa and Nahda sit-ins, Sinai, terrorism
It was only after the feast following Ramadan that steps were taken to prepare for the dispersal of the two sit- ins of Rabaa and Nahda. Everybody was tense, expecting a bloodbath and bracing for it. After all the rumours about all types of weaponry smuggled in to the sit- ins, all the threats of fighting to the death before giving up on the sit- ins and not giving in till Morsi is reinstated, the fighting was expected to be vicious.
On the day of dispersal, the police sent verbal warnings over a speaker reiterating their intent to disperse the sit- ins and giving the chance to whoever would like to come out peacefully to do so, promising that they would not be held, interrogated or incarcerated, that this was their last chance to get out without bloodshed. While this was going on, a sniper from inside Rabaa, placed on the roof of one of the buildings shot and killed a high ranking police officer. It was then that the police started going in targeting the buildings where snipers were placed to try to arrest them and stop them from shooting. But this only followed a great deal of tear gas being shot into the perimeters of Rabaa. All this confusion unnerved most of those inside Rabaa, so the police opened up a corridor, a safe route for those who still wanted to leave peacefully. Several thousands started trooping out, carrying their tents and clothes, some with their wives and children, just peacefully walking out.
In the meantime inside Rabaa the hardliners were burning all that was left and were caught on film bringing out bodies already wrapped in their shrouds, out of the field hospital and from underneath the stage, placing them all over to try to give the impression that these were the "victims" of police brutality in dispersing the sit- in. Of course, this backfired rather badly when forensic evidence showed later that these were people who had died quite a few days before. Suffice it that they were already shrouded! But those of the mentality to believe the advent of the Prophet Mohamed and the Virgin Mary to bless them and urge them on, would believe anything.
Just a couple of days ago I saw the confession of one of those snipers on Facebook where he detailed their plan, how they were given orders, and by whom, to kill some of the MB members and say that they were shot by the police, citing these people as victims of police brutality and excessive force used in the dispersal. There were 39 snipers placed on different rooftops with vantage points for overseeing both the people in Rabaa and those coming in. They were a mixture of Egyptians and Palestinians from Hamas.
The dispersal of Nahda had less media coverage, but it seemed that it was the same situation of dead bodies discovered there which were killed a few days before. To the great relief of the general public the two dispersals did not result in the bloodbath that the MB tried to give the impression would be the case. True there were a number of casualties, but they were from both sides.
Sinai was something else. Though there was restricted media access, we still got the news through concise statements by the army spokesman. But other sources talked about a real war going on in Sinai. It seems that during the year Morsi was in charge, there was an infiltration of a large number of terrorists from all over the world, but specifically from Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was also rumoured that Ayam Al Zawahry, who took over from Bin Laden, was found in Sinai to run things from the ground. The biggest problem for the Egyptian side were the tunnels running underground between Sinai and Gaza. Hundreds of tunnels were dug, through which a very lucrative trade was going on, on both sides. This was the way all the gas was smuggled from Egypt to Gaza. Throughout the period from August on, the army discovered and demolished numerous tanks buried underground where gasoline was stored before being smuggled to Gaza. `So the first thing the army had to do was demolish these tunnels to stop the bleeding of our resources, and more importantly, to stop the importation of arms and the smuggling of fighters over the border from Gaza to Sinai. Added to that was the number of shipments of duplicated army uniforms that were caught on their way to Gaza. The picture started getting clearer. The plan was to have the Hamas fighters in Egyptian army uniforms committing atrocities, so that the people start rising against the army. Again I pay great tribute to the army Public Relations Team. These facts were all transparently explained to the public and evidence shown; but more importantly, the army changed its uniform and anyone wearing the old uniform was caught as a spy! I am very proud of my army and its leaders. The same trick was played on the police, who added certain badges to their uniform to differentiate them from the duplicate, false "police" played by Hamas.
A very dangerous area in Sinai is Halal mountain. It is made up of a plethora of caves where terrorists can hide, something like Tora Bora where Bin Laden holed up and gave the US a very hard time. But our army is trained in that kind of warfare and it took them something like a month to clean it up completely. The situation in Sinai is still fluid, as there is a difficult line to draw between the locals and the intruders from Gaza. Sinai and its people were very badly treated during the Mubarak era, so most of the locals have little loyalty left for Egypt. One of the best steps taken by Al Sisy was a visit during Ramadan to the heads of the tribes of Sinai, where he had an Iftar (breaking of fast in evening) with them, which makes a big difference in the culture, and where those who attended, extended their loyalty to Egypt and the army, and promised to help in trailing the intruders. Without their help no army could have succeeded in Sinai. The Sinai situation is still ongoing.

Old Dominion Cotillion Tea
Inviting ladies to join club on Sunday, Oct. 15.
The Old Dominion Cotillion (ODC) will begin its 2006-2007 social season with an Invitational Tea on Sunday, Oct. 15. The Tea is an opportunity for young ladies who are interested in joining the ODC to meet current members and their mothers and to learn about Cotillion activities.
THE ODC provides an opportunity for parents to prepare their daughters for the adult social world through planned events, seminars, and philanthropic activities. It offers a diverse program of social, cultural, and educational experiences that provide young women with the opportunity to grow in confidence, grace, and poise.
Fun, interactive seminars conducted by ODC include everyday items such as writing thank-you notes, phone etiquette, correspondence, email etiquette, wardrobe and makeup. Formal etiquette sessions include formal dining, dance instruction, poise and attire, and interview preparation. The mothers, fathers, and families of the young ladies are also involved in many of the activities held throughout the year. Events planned for the coming year include teas, dances, a father-daughter sweetheart brunch, a women's day in Washington, D.C., a Halloween night in Old Town Alexandria, visits to the National Cathedral and the U.S. Department of State, a Mardi Gras party, a road rally, picnics, and an auto maintenance seminar.
In addition, as a commitment to social responsibility, each member contributes volunteer service during the year.
The year's social events culminate in a wonderful ball in July at which the Debutantes are presented. Debutantes are juniors and seniors in high school who have spent the year preparing for this moment. This past summer, the ODC celebrated its 15th Annual Debutante Ball on July 15th in the Old Dominion ballroom at Westfields Marriott in Chantilly.
Six young ladies became the 15th class of Debutantes to be presented by their parents at the elegant event. Ball Week began with a father-daughter road rally on Sunday in Northern Virginia, followed by a picnic in Clifton.
At the Ring Dance later in the week the Debutantes met their escorts from Virginia Military Institute and were presented with their class rings. The week concluded with the elegant ball, a fairy tale evening of beautiful girls in Cinderella gowns.
This year's Debutantes included: Laura Bennett (Bishop O'Connell High School), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Bennett of Clifton; Michelle Kaczmarek (Paul VI Catholic High School), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Kaczmarek Jr. of Clifton; Sophie McManus (Chantilly High School), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Mulligan of Fairfax; Caroline Rushing (Centreville High School), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Melvern Rushing of Clifton; Katherine Sumner (Robinson Secondary School), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Sumner, Centreville; and Ashlyn Wallace (Bishop O'Connell High School High School), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace of Alexandria.
Five young women were introduced as Future Debutantes, who will debut in the next two years, and seven Post Debutantes were introduced who were Debutantes last year.
Francine Gallagher, director of the Old Dominion Cotillion, was honored during the festivities for her hard work in making the Cotillion such an enjoyable experience for the young ladies and their families. During the event, Mrs. Gallagher also announced the engagements of her two daughters, Julie and Leslie, who will be married in September 2006 and March 2007, respectively.
Under the direction of Mrs. Gallagher, membership in the Cotillion is open to all young women and their families, regardless of race, religion, or creed.
For more information, to receive an invitation to the tea, or to request a brochure describing the ODC and its activities, contact Mrs. Donald Pressley at 703-304-7126.

00:01 gregory38: where do you put coherent buffer object ?
10:50 mwk: RSpliet: does that refer to Fermi?
14:08 fassl: hello, did anybody try or succeeded in passing through an optimus card via iommu here?
14:11 karolherbst: fassl: you are aware that you need a compatible CPU and motherboard?
14:15 fassl: hot to be sure if it supports this?
14:16 fassl: probably have to check FLR and if it does not share interrupts with other devices?
15:12 karolherbst: imirkin: a thought I have: if we have conditional branches in the shader, but both branches have the same amount if instructions to excecute, are joinat/joins still needed? I would say no, but I think the real answer is yes?
15:20 karolherbst: uhh "Kepler GK110 allows double precision instructions to be paired with other instructions"
15:28 imirkin: what do you do?
15:28 imirkin: now think all of that through, and then think about how "join" might come in useful.
15:29 karolherbst: all threads within a warp execute the same instruction, right?
17:00 mwk: karolherbst: what ISA is that?
19:11 gregory38: Due to 32 bits cross-compilation issue --disable-asm is used to compile measa.
19:11 gregory38: Don't know the speed impact.
19:12 gregory38: Otherwise I did a quick test on uber shader based on uniform.
20:12 karolherbst: gregory38: can you paste your uber shader somewhere?
20:17 gregory38: with header and such ?
20:19 karolherbst: well I thought you were writing one fragment shader for everything?
20:21 karolherbst: ahh okay, so geometry+vertex+fragment, right?
20:23 gregory38: karolherbst: do you want the TGSI before and after ?
20:24 karolherbst: gregory38: do you add special defines to the source before compiling those?
20:25 gregory38: karolherbst: what do you want to do ?
20:30 gregory38: or only some of them.
20:33 karolherbst: all those joins?
20:34 imirkin_: but ... is it worth it?
20:35 gregory38: is there a way to output the preprocessed glsl shader ?
20:41 gregory38: and actually how are branch handled ?
20:45 karolherbst: imirkin_: is discard llike exit()?
20:49 karolherbst: but it looks much better already, doesn'T it?
20:51 imirkin_: gregory38: btw... i don't suppose that alphatest can be used here?
20:53 imirkin_: i guess "just do it in the shader"
20:56 karolherbst: gregory38: are there cases now where shader switching is faster than this uber shader?
21:01 imirkin_: nouveau or blob?
21:04 karolherbst: gregory38: with the threading stuff enabled vs disabled?
21:34 urmet: so. I have a GM108M. can I poke it to run fast(er) or is just loading the driver all for now?
22:17 imirkin_: urmet: well, the GM108 won't support tessellation or images (right now) which your intel gpu should support.

The result is to see in the following pictures:
Example with many rows:

Example with two rows:

The problem is that when I have more rows it includes a second page (not shown here in my question) with header  and footer, the detail is empty. The rest as we can see from the pics is OK.
Why? How do I fix it?

A: You have chosen a strange way to create this report, the normal way would be to make the detail band represent 1 article line in your invoice (hence detail band would have the height of 14)
Then if you need to draw lines to the bottom of the page you can always use the background band.
What is happening now?, probably the list overflows in your detail band that also have empty space under it, it can not create another one on same page and move the space to next page.

Solution Use the normal way of jasper report, datasource containing your lines, header in columnHeader band, fields in detail band (height 14) and your vertical lines in
  the background band, also exports as to excel etc will be much cleaner.

  If you like to keep your list, move all the rectangles to the
  background band and reduce height of detail band to remaining
  components (header + list height)

Oregon Territory
Facts, information and articles about the Oregon Territory, a part of Westward Expansion from the Wild West
Oregon Territory summary: The Territory of Oregon existed from August 1848 until February 1859. That period ended when Oregon became an American State on February 14, 1859. The Territory of Oregon encompassed the segments of present-day Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and Montana as well as parts of British Columbia which is now a Canadian province. The Territory's first capitol was Oregon City. The next capital was Salem and Corvallis became the capital city after Salem. When Oregon became a US state, the seat of government was transferred back to Salem again.
The population of the Oregon Territory consisted mainly of Native Americans. The Europeans first explored the territory from the sea. The region became known for its fur-trade and the British Hudson's Bay Company dominated the market. Since the fur-trade that developed in the region was extremely lucrative, many countries wanted to claim the land for themselves. The territorial claims often caused conflicts between the European colonists and the United States.
In the late 1830s, trappers began to settle down on the land and more and more settlers and missionaries started to arrive to the territory. There was no organized government in those parts at the time. A group of settlers in the Willamette Valley discussed organizing a government in the region on their regular meetings and they created the Provisional Government of Oregon in 1841. In 1846 the Oregon Treaty was signed between the US and Britain to settle the boundary dispute. The British gained the land north of the 49th parallel, including the Vancouver Island and the United States received the territory south of the parallel.

Menopause Puts Women At Higher Risk Of Fall-Related Injuries
By CARA ROSNER
| Conn. Health I-Team Writer |
A growing number of women are getting hurt by falling, and they are much more likely to suffer fall-related injuries than men, data show.
From 2011 to 2014, 51 women per 1,000 population were hurt in falls, up from 47 per 1,000 from 2005 to 2008, according to recent data from the National Center for Health Statistics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Falls were the most common cause of nonfatal injuries to women, the report found, and significantly outpaced injuries from overexertion, the second leading cause of injury that afflicted just 14 per 1,000.
Hormone-related changes associated with menopause are the main reasons women are so prone to falling, especially as they age, said Dr. Karen Sutton, an orthopaedic surgeon, director of Women's Sports Medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital, and associate professor of orthopaedics and rehabilitation at the Yale School of Medicine.

"Their muscles are weaker, their bones are weaker," she said, since hormone changes lead to reduced bone mass and the onset of osteoporosis in many women.
Men, on the other hand, typically don't experience deterioration as rapidly because testosterone increases muscle mass and bone density, she added.
Research has shown women are far more likely than men to be injured in falls. A 2005 study published in the journal Injury Prevention found that in 2001 more than 1.6 million adults aged 65 or older were treated in hospital emergency departments for unintentional fall injuries, and 71 percent, or nearly 1.2 million, were women.
In Connecticut, women are more likely than men to be hospitalized due to a fall, data show, but the gender gap here has been diminishing in recent years. And both genders became less likely between 2008 and 2013 to be hospitalized after falling.
According to state Department of Public Health data, in 2013 there were 173.6 women per 100,000 hospitalized after a fall, compared with 170.3 men per 100,000 – versus 2008, when there were 273.5 women per 100,000, compared with 202.9 men per 100,000.

Fall-related injuries can lead to months of recovery, as Elaine Crocco of Woodbridge learned. The 66-year-old, who was a patient of Sutton's, tripped and fell in June 2016 while walking from the pool to the women's locker room at the Jewish Community Center of Greater New Haven. She landed on her left hip, which she fractured.
"I was in agony, absolute agony," Crocco said.
After an emergency department visit, surgery to put pins in her hip, and a four-day hospital stay, Crocco underwent rehabilitation and physical therapy at The Willows in Woodbridge for five days. She then did outpatient physical therapy nearby three times a week for a couple of months.
The recovery "is really scary because you can't put any weight on your foot," she said, but she is grateful the process went smoothly.
She tries to be careful, she said, because she has fallen several other times. Her right knee bothers her, she said, and she is prone to tripping. Last June was the first time she suffered a fracture.

There are certain things women (and men) can do to help prevent falls.
"Stay physically active," Sutton said, since strengthening muscles will, in turn, make bones stronger and less susceptible to osteoporosis. Using weights and doing squats and lunges are good strength training techniques, she said.
It's also important to do activities that improve balance since people tend to lose a bit of their balance as they age, she said. Walking or hiking on uneven surfaces and walking stairs frequently can help, she said.
"The biggest issue is bone fragility," said Dr. Jeffrey Meter, an orthopedic surgeon and co-director of the fragility fracture program at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford. "When women fall, they're more likely to sustain fractures."
Men and women reach peak bone density at age 30, he said, but density then deteriorates much more quickly in women than it does in men, due in large part to menopause, he added.

Diabetes is one of the main causes of balance problems, Meter said, so people with the disease should be especially cautious and try to embrace a healthy lifestyle.
Taking multiple medications also can increase one's likelihood of falling so patients should speak with their doctors to be sure any medications they are taking are necessary, he said. Blood thinners in particular, he added, increase the risk of bleeding in the brain after a fall.
A growing number of senior citizens are eager to learn how they can avoid falling, said Susan Cavanaugh, a senior physical therapist and specialist in balance and vestibular disorders at Greenwich Hospital. She and a colleague lead fall prevention lectures in Greenwich and Stamford that have become very popular among senior citizens.
"We always have a packed house," she said. "We've had to add lectures. It's a hot topic."

What began as an annual lecture series five years ago has grown into events that now take place every several months, typically drawing 50 or more people. Many attendees have suffered from falls or have noticed their balance starting to get worse, Cavanaugh said.

Often, small acts—like removing small area rugs from the home, avoiding ladders and stepstools, and wearing sensible footwear—can greatly reduce the chances of falling, Cavanaugh said.
"There are certain things in our life that make us more prone to falling that we can't change, but there are certain things we can," she said.

Jamie xx Details New Solo Album
And confirms a new The xx album is on the way.
By Ruth Saxelby
The xx's new album is "coming" according to Jamie xx. "We've got quite a lot of songs that are not finished, but I'm excited about it," he told The FADER over the phone from London during a chat about record shops. "It feels a lot more free than when we were making the last record." The London band are known for the exhaustive world tours that swirled around their debut album xx, and their 2012 follow up, Coexist, but the road is not always the most conducive to getting the creative juice flowing, Jamie said. "I think the most inspiring thing, really, is just not being anywhere crazy and just being at home."
The softly spoken UK producer had just returned from New York where he'd been mixing his own debut solo album, which he said collects three years' worth of music and is nearing completion. "There's one track where I need to get the vocal on, but I don't know who the vocalist is going to be yet." Apparently there's only going to be one track on the record that features his beloved steel pans, but there could well be some more spoken word pieces in the vein of his recent "Girl" and "All Under One Roof Raving" singles. "I never really listen to lyrics, but I can understand [them] a little bit more when it's spoken word rather than singing," he explained. "It gets to my head a bit quicker." Sounds like 2015 is going to be a good year.

We present comprehensive experimental and theoretical work on tunnel-barrier rectifiers comprising double (Nb2O5-Al2O3) and triple (Ta2O5-Nb2O5-Al2O3) insulator configurations engineered to enhance low-voltage nonlinearity. The key rectifier properties, asymmetry, nonlinearity and responsivity have been assessed from current-voltage measurements. A superior low-voltage asymmetry (12 at 0.1 V) and responsivity (5 A/W at 0.2 V) for MIIIM rectifiers have been observed. The results demonstrate enhanced rectification by atomically multi-layering tunnel barriers in cascaded and non-cascaded MIIIM arrangements, for inclusion in optical nantennas.

Macron announces architects' competition to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral
A view of Notre-Dame Cathedral after a fire devastated large parts of the gothic gem. Benoit Tessier/Reuters
The French prime minister has announced an international architects' competition to rebuild the spire of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Edouard Philippe is speaking following a special Cabinet meeting on Wednesday held by French President Emmanuel Macron focusing on the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Philippe said the competition aims at "giving Notre Dame a spire adapted to techniques and challenges of our times."
He said authorities have no estimation yet of the total cost of the renovation work. Macron said Tuesday he wants the cathedral to be rebuilt by five years.
Philippe said: "This is obviously a huge challenge, a historic responsibility."
The Paris prosecutor's office says investigators looking into the causes of the Notre Dame fire have still not been able to look inside the cathedral, as it remains unsafe.
Investigators will continue with interviews Wednesday, saying the inquiry will go on until prosecutors uncover "the truth and identify the origin" of the blaze. On Tuesday, investigators spoke with around 30 witnesses, including employees of companies involved in the church's restoration and security personnel.
The Czech Philharmonic and other major Czech orchestras will join forces to play a fundraising concert to help restore Notre Dame Cathedral, heavily damaged by a devastating fire.
The Czech Philharmonic says the orchestras will perform Antonin Dvorak's "Stabat Mater" in St. Vitus Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece, in Prague on Tuesday.
The orchestras want to support France in renovating one of the most important religious buildings in Europe.

Notre-Dame fire under control, Macron vows to rebuild
Macron expressed relief that "the worst had been avoided" in a blaze that had at one point threatened the entire edifice, and left France in shock over the damage to a building described as the soul of the nation.
Notre Dame saved within 15-30 minutes' time window
Some 400 firefighters tackled the huge blaze at the 12th century Gothic masterpiece and, oblivious to the danger they faced, saw their efforts rewarded as they saved the main structure.

Why should anyone care about a fire in Paris when we all have more immediate problems closer to home? I'd just finished grading papers, sitting in a rare moment of silence in my office at work, when one of my students came in and said "Notre Dame is burning."
Notre Dame design contest raises eyebrows
The French, who know a thing or two about the bold reinvention of architectural landmarks (consider I.M. Pei's once-despised, now-iconic Louvre Pyramid), have announced an international design competition to restore or redesign the destroyed spire of Notre Dame cathedral.

My husband gets angry whenever I ask for money – Women tells court
A 43-year-old woman has sued her 78-year-old husband for divorce, accusing him of negligence and lack of care.
Wuraola Adekunle had sued her husband, Rufai, at the Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi, Ibadan, on Tuesday, asking for the dissolution of their 15-year marriage.
Wuraola, a resident of Apete, Ibadan, had prayed the court to uphold her request due to her husband's negligence to take care of her and the three children of the union.
The petitioner told the court that her 78-year-old husband was in the habit of threatening her whenever she demanded money.
Wuraola also said she shouldered the responsibility of school fees, feeding and other needs of the children alone.
In his judgment, the President of the court, Mukaila Balogun, said the evidence of both parties before the court had proved that the union lacked love and care.
Balogun said the court could no longer play a reconciliatory role for settlement of the rift since both parties had agreed to part ways.
He dissolved the marriage and ordered that the three kids of the marriage be in the custody of the respondent "as agreed by the couple. "
The respondent did not object to the dissolution, but denied the allegation of negligence.
He urged the court to allow the children to be in his custody so that he could effectively take care of them. (NAN)

Many people in the software industry think that embedded software developers spend most of their time designing software and writing code. But it is not true. Ask any embedded developer what activity takes more time and he will point to debugging (getting the code to work properly). Debugging has become vital due to the complexity of inner code. Multicore designs have also added to the work load.
Thankfully, a number of debugging techniques have been developed to reduce the work, such as simulation and virtual prototyping. Incidentally, before computers became so compact and cheap, programmers used to make fewer errors when they wrote code. They actually used to write code on paper and proofread it carefully, to prevent syntax errors. But this practice is not being followed now, mostly because computers have become so cheap. Debugging tools have also made the job easier.
As a result, you have a proliferation of errors and developers are having to spend a lot of time to fix them. This is important because unless these errors are fixed, the system might crash or won't give the real-world response you want. Most programmed devices contain many of lines of code, which means any new product will contain at least a few bugs. So debugging actually makes the software better.

Objectives to determine the efficacy of the fascia iliaca block in providing analgesia to patients with a proximal femoral fracture in the emergency department.
Methods EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL and Google Scholar were searched. Free text keywords for population, intervention and outcome were identified to create a search string. The reference lists from articles identified in the primary electronic search were hand searched. Potentially eligible studies were identified based on review of the title and abstract. If eligibility was unclear from the title and abstract, the full text was examined. Randomised controlled trials comparing the fascia iliaca block with standard analgesia were included. A standardised appraisal of the methodological quality of the studies was performed.
Results 39 articles were identified, of which 13 were duplicates. Of the remaining 26, 15 were relevant to the question and suitable for further sorting. There was one conference poster presenting data, which were later published as an audit, and so was considered to be a duplicate. Of the 14 remaining papers, 2 were randomised controlled trials, 6 were cohort studies and 3 were reports of audit of practice. There were 3 abstracts of conference poster or paper submissions, which were descriptions of reviews or service development projects rather than primary studies. The two randomised controlled trials showed statistically significant superior or equal pain relief between the fascia iliaca block and other forms of acute pain relief.
Conclusions the fascia iliaca block could have an important role in first-line pain control for patients presenting to the emergency department with a proximal femoral fracture. There is potential to reform the acute management of this common group of patients.

Here are panoramic photos of the map. Click on the up-to-date one for the full-sized image.
The "map name" is actually a little misleading.
Geez, a few hours? That is some nice work indeed, especially in that time frame!
Thanks, everyone! I'm glad you all like it. I noticed that as soon as I announce something, I end up not having the free time to continue working on it. I don't know if I'll finish before the end of the month, so that may be an issue.
For just a few hours that looks REALLY impressive!
And I especially like that campfire-tavern!
Thanks, Heroesflorian! Unfortunately, I was unable to finish before the end of the summer, so I now have no time to continue working on it. I uploaded the map a month ago, but it wasn't completely tested, and no story was added.


A view that is suitable to display a (sticky) filtering interface for a collection view.
The active UI element. Setting this property to a new value inserts it to the view hierarchy and takes care of positioning it neatly.
The offset of the filter element from being centered.
The minimum amount of space between the filterElement's alignment rectangle and bounds of the receiver — defaults to PSPDFCollectionReusableFilterViewDefaultMargin on all edges.
The priority of this minimum margin is UILayoutPriorityRequired. Therefore, if you want the alignment rect of the filterElement to extend beyonds the bounds of this view, you have to set a negative value for that edge.
The background style of this view.
