The concept of using viruses as oncolytic agents is not a new one. In an effort to improve the applicability of viral anti-cancer agents various non-human viruses are being evaluated preclinically and clinically. The application of replication- competent non-human viruses poses new potential hazards, i.e. those associated with the possible adaptation of the therapeutic viruses to the human hosts. Therefore it is essential to weigh the potential benefits for the patients against the risk for the patients, their close contacts, and the greater public. Many aspects of such assessment parallel with the risks and dilemmas associated with the use of live porcine cells, tissues and organs in a clinical xenotransplantation setting. In this review we will summarize the potential biological hazards and list the points that need to be considered in a formal biosafety risk evaluation. The risk evaluation should include the possible environmental aspects of the non-human viruses used, also in case the non-human viruses are not formally designated as genetically modified organisms.

Bovine Ska and Rocksteady 6/23/15: The Torpedo Label
June 29, 2015 / Generoso Fierro
A fine cut on Briscoe's Torpedo Label
So, after last week's misfire with Mixcloud (it sadly seems that the limit for tracks from a single artist is four) we decided to turn our attention this week to the thunderous and at times daffy early reggae sounds of England's Torpedo Label. That of course started at the midway point of the podcast. We began the show with two sumptuous sets of rocksteady, beginning with a rare cut from Merritone that you must hear called "Fountain Bliss." After a mento set that featured a Lord Fly composition called "Mabel." After a long a frenzied ska set, we went right into our spotlight of the Torpedo Label.
Lambert Briscoe ran the Hot Rod sound system in Brixton, and from the popularity of his soundsystem, emerged the Torpedo record label, which was founded by Briscoe and Eddy Grant, yes the same Eddy Grant of The Equals and eventually Electric Avenue fame. Torpedo was founded in 1970 and was short lived; it folded in the same year but was eventually revived for a stint 1974. As a result of this, we will split this spotlight according to the birth year and the rebirth year of Torpedo, beginning with the very first single released on the label, Pussy Got Nine Life by the Hot Rod All Stars, the Torpedo label's house band, consisting of Ardley White, Danny Smith, Earl Dunn, and Sonny Binns. Originally known as The Rudies, they were renamed after Lambert Briscoe's soundsystem as the Hot Rod All Stars, and somewhere between the transformation from The Rudies to the Hot Rod All Stars, the group also spurred off and developed into The Cimarons, who would become the pre-eminent backing band for the English reggae scene. In addition to Lambert Briscoe himself, Larry Lawrence also produced for the Torpedo label, most notably, he was the producer of Errol English's cover of The Small Faces, Sha La La La Lee.
With 1970 marking the height of the skinhead reggae movement, characterized by a fast, danceable rhythm, the English market was dominated by Trojan and Pama, two heavyweights that had many subsidiary arms and stables with major artists, making it difficult for a small label like Torpedo to survive past its first year, which it unfortunately did not. Then, by 1973, the skinhead reggae of the previous years began to lose traction, signed especially by the folding of reggae specialized music shops. But as the late 60s/early 70s fast reggae left the spotlight in 1973, roots reggae with its markedly slower skank took its place, particularly due to the release of Bob Marley's To Catch a Fire. Consequently, with this resurged interest in reggae, Eddy Grant opened up the Torpedo label again in 1974, but now focused the releases on more of a roots reggae sound. We kicked off the highlights from the Torpedo revival with Johnny Jonas's Happy Birthday, a track produced by Eddy Grant himself.

Due to a lack of participation over its first three months, I've decided to discontinue TYHT. I think it was too confusing and I'm not getting the support or participation for it that I hoped, so I've decided to shut it down and spend the spoons on other areas of the site. I was excited about the prospect of interacting more with my fellow bloggers and trying to enrich our community a bit more with some of their knowledge, but I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board with how to best accomplish that.
I'm very grateful for the participation we did get and really enjoyed the posts shared for TYHT. I met some new bloggers, learned about some new topics I've never read on and got to experience some great new voices. I hope you keep coming back and interacting and I'll do my best to continue visiting your sites, as well!
I'd really like to do more collaborative things on here and have guest bloggers provide articles, videos or other media that would educate us in some way. I'm always happy to trade posts, too. I also welcome artistic submissions of poetry, short stories, personal essays and art work. If you have something to submit, start by contacting us.
If you're looking for other great blogs to read, you should click the Chronic Illness Bloggers badge I have placed on my right side bar just like the one to the left and has a directory of every blogger who belongs, which is a substantial list. They're a great group. I interact with many of them on a regular basis and they have a lot of wisdom to impart on many different conditions. If you're a blogger yourself and don't know about this network, go find out about them now. They do everything from promote everyone's blog posts on their various social media pages to securing partners for sponsored posts. I've gotten two or three myself from them. Just below them is Dealspotr, another service that offers influencers sponsored post opportunities that I recently signed up with.
So sorry that it ended just as I was getting on to it. Please let me know if I can assist in any way. I am always open to ideas and projects.
Me too. Maybe I'll come up with something clever and revive it. I'll let you know if I do. All best to you, Barbara!
Sorry to hear this. I enjoyed it and was planning to get more involved after the holidays. Best of luck on your website. Plan to visit you more.
I really enjoyed it, too. I need to keep thinking on the idea and see if I can come up with some way to make it work better. I'll definitely let you know if I find a way to revive it. I hope you have a good holiday!

Time to let Trump lead on women, peace and security
By Susan Yoshihara, opinion contributor — 02/12/18 08:30 AM EST
In 2014, ISIS terrorists captured Nadia Murad, enslaved her, raped her, tortured her and killed seven members of her family in a single day. She escaped and became an advocate for the thousands of other Yazidi women suffering similar fates.
When Canadian journalist Lyse Doucet asked her at an event at Georgetown University this week whether things were getting better for women in the world, she said bluntly, "No."
In awkward contradiction, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonTrump complains of 'fake polls' after surveys show him trailing multiple Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton responds to Trump tweets telling Dem lawmakers to 'go back' to their countries The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur: Here's how to choose a president MORE told the audience of undergraduates that our lives are better, just at an "inflection point." We women face a backlash, she said, evoking common antipathy for President Donald Trump Donald John TrumpCNN's Camerota clashes with Trump's immigration head over president's tweet LA Times editorial board labels Trump 'Bigot-in-Chief' Trump complains of 'fake polls' after surveys show him trailing multiple Democratic candidates MORE, and that what we need to move forward are laws, international organizations and "standard-setting."
Nadia Murad did not need standard-setting when she was abducted into sexual slavery. She needed the United States and its allies to wipe ISIS off the face of the earth. The 7,000 other women captured with her need to be rescued and restored their freedom.
The stark contrast between what elite women want and what most of the world's women need bodes ill for future of the Women, Peace and Security Act of 2017. Advocates should not let the new law's implementation get bogged down by Clinton's resistance movement, but should let the Trump administration shape it to the needs of its intended constituents such as Nadia.
This will take discipline.
Congress rejected previous iterations of the legislation because they contained the Obama-Clinton version of the agenda. That version, embodied in a national action plan, mandated such things as transgender training for all officers in U.S. war colleges and claimed that abortion rights are part of the laws of war, a stratagem to undermine the Helms Amendment which bans taxpayer funding of abortions overseas. The authors of that plan are now pressing the administration to resuscitate it as its new strategy.
But when advocates got the agenda enacted into law, they not only lost on those divisive issues, they also raised the agenda to a higher level of public scrutiny. The law that passed simply aims to protect women and children in conflict and to get them to the table for conflict prevention, mitigation and reconciliation. It requires that the administration write an implementation strategy within the year.
Advocates should welcome the seriousness, and parsimony, that the Trump strategy can, and should, bring to the agenda.
This will not be easy for the agenda's champions within the administration, either. The Women, Peace and Security Act literally imports the eponymous United Nations Security Council agenda into American foreign policy. That will turn off conservative foreign policy experts. Likewise, human rights skeptics will dismiss the strategy. That will be a mistake.
Contrary to what some pundits say, human rights always have been a part of U.S. foreign policy goals. The mixed motives behind U.S. intervention in conflict — national interest, international law and universal values — vary depending upon the administration, but they are ever present. One reason is that we need coalition partners who in turn use their own alchemy of mixed motives to persuade their publics to back us.
It is fortuitous for Nadia, for the agenda, and even for the president's feminist detractors who must relinquish the agenda, that it is the Trump administration who will implement it.
Fighting to make the Women, Peace and Security strategy resemble the Obama-Clinton-era plan will only marginalize it. Allowing the administration breathing space to mainstream the agenda into U.S. national security objectives gives it a chance to help the many women who remain in captivity, and those women and girls still at risk of capture and enslavement.
Susan Yoshihara, Ph.D., is a Gulf War veteran and the author of "Waging War to Make Peace: U.S. Intervention in Global Conflicts." She is senior vice president for research at the Center for Family and Human Rights in Washington.

Department of Philosophy profiles itself in two basic directions. The first is educational activity, which is mainly focused on the study of the history of philosophy and the individual philosophical currents and schools that have contributed significantly to the development of education in its history. The emphasis is on the study of philosophical texts and literature. At the same time, we also try to introduce students to the basic disciplines and problems of philosophy (epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, methodology and philosophy of science, aesthetics, anthropology), which form part of the bachelor's degree, are developed more deeply in the master's degree, and acquire special orientations in the doctoral studies in philosophy.
The second part of the department's profiling is scientific and research activity. In their scientific and research work, the employees of the department are mainly engaged in selected issues of the history of philosophy, the relationship between philosophy and other disciplines, or human and culture-oriented research. Part of the scientific research activities are phenomenological studies, which focuses on domestic and foreign cooperation with philosophical institutions developing phenomenological research with regard to contemporary problems of society, science, existence, art and culture.

Manasseh the Apostate king
Manasseh, whose mother was Hephzibah, began to reign over Israel when he was only twelve years old and reigned for fifty-five years. According to the biblical historians, Manasseh did evil in the sight of the Lord by engaging in the abominable practices of the pagan nations that surrounded him.
APOSTATE ACTIONS OF MANASSEH
Manasseh rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He built altars for Baal and made an Asherah similar to the one Ahab had made and worshiped all the hosts of heaven, in fact, he served those heavenly hosts.
Built an altar in the house of God
Another apostate action that Manasseh took was the building of altars in the house of the Lord. This was against the wishes of God, who desired to put his name in Jerusalem. The altars were for Baal and not for the Lord that is why it was regarded as wrong.
Altar for the host of heaven
Manasseh also built altars for the host of heavens. These were located in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Graven image
Manasseh also made a graven image of Asherah and placed in the house of the Lord. This same house was the place the Lord had chosen to put his name for ever but which was desecrated by Manasseh's action.
Of all the abominable things Manasseh had done, one of the most grievous was human sacrifice. In fact, Manasseh sacrificed his own son as an offering to the gods. The introduction of this dastardly practice encouraged others to engage in it.
He practiced augury
Manasseh also introduced the practice of augury which is an ancient Roman religion where omens were interpreted through the use of the observation of birds.
He practiced soothsaying
Manasseh practiced soothsaying also. Soothsaying is the ability to foretell the future with the use of supernatural means. It is a practice where the people involved want to know the future and therefore engage the services of people who know the art of doing so.
In fact, Manasseh seduced the whole nation to follow him in his apostate journey. In other words, all the bad practices that he introduced influenced the population of Israel to follow him.
Shedding of innocent blood
Manasseh shed a lot of blood. There were people who opposed him and the new things that he represented. Such people spoke against his actions but many of them were mercilessly dealt with, some of them even lost their lives. He was described to have filled the whole of Jerusalem from one end to the other with innocent blood.
The anger of god was kindled against Manasseh and the whole of Israel and God promised to wipe them out from his face like the way a bowl is wiped. God said he would hand them over to their enemies and they shall become prey.
Death of Manasseh
Manasseh died and was buried in the garden of Uzzar, in his house.
IN WHICH WAYS CAN BAD LEADERSHIP AFFECT A NATION?
Lead people away from God
One of the ways in which bad leadership can affect a nation is when the leaders engage in religious practices that foreign to them. It can lead the people away from God.
Lead the nation into a senseless war
Another way in which bad leadership can affect a nation is that the nation can be led into a war that they should not fight. The United States has engaged in wars which have later been seen as largely unnecessary, such as the war in Vietnam in which many U.S. soldiers were killed.
Leads to poverty
Bad leadership can also lead to poverty. This has been the case in most African countries where there are a lot of natural resources but the wealth accruing from it is not evenly distributed. One of such cases is Nigeria which is the fifth largest producer of oil in the world but 90% of whose citizens live on less than $4.00 a day.
Lead to economic difficulties
Another negative way in which bad leadership can affect a nation is that it can throw the nation into economic difficulties. This makes it difficult for people to make ends meet because their power to purchase has been eroded by the decisions of their leaders.
Can lead to corruption
Bad leadership can also lead to corruption and the breakdown in the moral strength of the nation. In Africa, many of the nations are regarded as corrupt. Where there is bad leadership, this can easily happen. Again, in Nigeria, the perception is that the nation is corrupt, leading to economic woes.
1. a. Describe the reign of Manasseh.
b. Mention three ways in which bad leadership can affect a nation.
2. a. Give an account of the reign of King Manasseh.
b. In which three ways can leaders avoid leading their followers astray?
3. a. Highlight six actions of Manasseh under his reign which were opposed to the will of God.
b. How did God react to his actions?

Elis Regina Carvalho Costa, znana jako Elis Regina (ur. 17 marca 1945 w Porto Alegre, zm. 19 stycznia 1982) – brazylijska piosenkarka.

Życiorys
Elis Regina zaczęła występować jako piosenkarka w wieku 11 lat dziecięcym programie radiowym O Clube Do Guri w stacji radiowej Rádio Farroupilha. W 1959 r. podpisała kontrakt z Rádio Gaúcha, a rok później pojechała do Rio de Janeiro, gdzie nagrała swoją pierwszą płytę Viva a Brotolândia.

W 1965 r. wygrała po raz pierwszy festiwal piosenki śpiewając utwór Edu Lobo i Viníciusa de Moraesa Arrastão (The Trawling Net), który po wydaniu na singlu uczynił z niej najlepiej sprzedającą się piosenkarką od czasów Carmen Mirandy. Druga płyta nagrana z Jair Rodriguesem, Dois na Bossa, pobiła rekordy sprzedaży i stała się pierwszą, która rozeszła się w ponad 1 milionie egzemplarzy. Piosenka Arrastão stała się początkiem międzynarodowej kariery Elis Reginy, ponieważ relacje z festiwalu były przekazywane przez stacje radiowe i telewizyjne. W ten sposób w Brazylii został zapoczątkowany nowy nurt muzyczny, który określany był jako MPB (Música Popular Brasileira – Brazylijska Muzyka Popularna), która zaczęła się odróżniać od wcześniejszej bossa novy.

Pod koniec lat 60. i na początku 70. Elis Regina nagrywając z muzykami takimi jak Gilberto Gil przyczyniła się do popularyzacji nowego nurtu muzycznego nazywanego tropicalia.  Nagrywała także z takimi artystami jak: Milton Nascimento, João Bosco, Aldir Blanc, Chico Buarque, Jorge Ben, Baden Powell, Caetano Veloso i Rita Lee. Miała wybitny głos ze wspaniałą skalą i doskonale wykonywała utwory z nurtu Música Popular Brasileira. Zyskała przydomki "furacão" ("huragan") i "pimentinha" ("papryczka").

Czasami Elis Regina wypowiadała się krytycznie o panującym w Brazylii reżimie wojskowym, który prześladował i więził w tamtych czasach wielu artystów. Dzięki jej popularności udawało jej się uniknąć więzienia, ale w końcu została zmuszona do występu i zaśpiewania na stadionie brazylijskiego hymnu, co ściągnęło na nią gniew opozycjonistów. Później wybaczono jej ze względu na jej sytuację rodzinną. Podobnie jak inni artyści starała się ze swojej twórczości uczynić oręż, który pomoże utrzymać przy życiu wolnościowe dążenia, które w przyszłości pokonają przemoc.

W 1982 roku, w wieku 37 lat zmarła w wyniku śmiertelnego zatrucia mieszanką alkoholu i środków uspokajających. Do tego czasu nagrała dziesiątki, cieszących się szeroką popularnością płyt, które rozeszły się w ponad 80 milionach egzemplarzy.

Jej wykonanie piosenki Jobim i Viniciusa Por Toda A Minha Vida znalazło się na ścieżce dźwiękowej filmu z 2002 roku w reż. Pedro Almodóvara pt. Porozmawiaj z nią (Hable Con Ella), a piosenka Roda została wykorzystana w soundtracku filmu pt. Be Cool z 2005 roku.

Rodzina
Elis Regina była dwukrotnie zamężna i urodziła 3 dzieci. Jej pierwsze małżeństwo z Ronaldo Bôscolim zostało zawarte w 1967 i z niego urodził się w 1970 r. syn – João Marcelo Bôscoli.

Jej drugim mężem był jej długoletni współpracownik César Camargo Mariano, z którym miała 2 dzieci: Pedro Camargo Mariano (ur. 1975) i Maria Rita (ur. 1977). Jej wszystkie dzieci obrały karierę muzyczną, ale z umiarkowanym powodzeniem. Maria Rita po latach działalności w cieniu zyskała szerszą popularność i zdobyła 3 nagrody Grammy muzyki latynoskiej za jej album zatytułowany Maria Rita. João Marcello Boscoli właściciel wytwórni płytowej Trama wypuszcza na rynek albumy i DVD z nagraniami Elis Reginy. Pedro Camargo Mariano został zauważony tylko raz, kiedy zaśpiewał z ojcem Cesarem Camargo Mariano na nominowanej do Nagrody Grammy muzyki latynoskiej płycie Piano & Voz. Jego własne płyty nie odniosły większego sukcesu.

Russian authorities identify suspect, after anti-Semitic graffiti scrawled on Jewish center in village known as cradle of Chabad movement.
Russian authorities identified a suspect in the scrawling of anti-Semitic graffiti on the wall of a Jewish center in the Russian village of Lyubavichi, the cradle of the Chabad Hasidic movement.
Ivashkin's statement followed a ceremony in which several of Russia's senior-most rabbis attended the dedication of a perimeter fence around one of the Jewish cemeteries in and around Lyubavichi.
The rabbis, including Yitzhak Kogan of the Moscow synagogue Bolshaya Bronnaya, and Jehoshua Raskin, traveled Sunday from Moscow to the village of 200 people to celebrate the completion there of a preservation project headed by the European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, or ESJF, a nonprofit organization that has completed similar projects in 102 cemeteries across Eastern Europe with funding from the German government.
"Initiatives like these are vital because of neglect, economic and agricultural development, and vandalism," said Rabbi Isaac Schapira, the founder and chairman of the ESJF board. The project in Lyubavichi was his organization's first in Russia since its founding in 2015.
Joseph Popack, a Jewish-American donor, funded the new fencing at a cost of $100,000.
Located near Smolensk and the border with Belarus, Lyubavichi became a major Jewish hub following the settling there in 1813 of Rabbi Dovber Schneuri, a leader of the Chabad movement of Hasidic Jews. Chabad is the acronym of the Hebrew-language words for wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
Chabad established in Lyubavichi an information center and museum, which Ivashkin says attracts 500 visitors monthly to the impoverished village, which is comprised of many dilapidated houses.

Cornered is appearing at the Capital City Black Film Festival in Austin TX!
Kiai-Kick Film's "Cornered" among lineup at Third Annual Capital City Black Film Festival and Historical Harlem Lights! Awards Show
Austin,TX – July 23, 2015 –Kiai-Kick Films announced today that its martial arts action short film Cornered has been invited to the third annual Capital City Black Film Festival (CCBFF), an Austin, Texas-based organization dedicated to films written or directed and produced by Blackfilmmakers, films with Black actors in principle roles or that are about Black characters,subject matter or issues related to the Black community.
"Cornered" is a martial arts 90's style actioner about Austin super cop Adam Matrix, who finds himself running a gauntlet of lethal fighters in order to save a young woman and keep a superweapon out of the hands of Texas underworld boss Kellogg Deveroux.
Cornered is among 60 films that will be shown throughout the three-day festival that includes networking, panel discussions, workshops, dynamic film screenings and parties.
"I am incredibly happy that Cornered will be a part of the Capital City Black Film Festival.", says director Michael S. Moore, "Cornered features something sorely missing from action cinema: an African-American hero in a genre of film that needs more heroes of color. I was blessed to work with a talented and diverse cast and crew."
The Festival will begin this year with Harlem Lights!, which includes a reception at 6:30 p.m. and the show starting at 7:30 p.m., August 13, 2015 at the Palmer Events Center in Austin,TX. Harlem Lights! highlights the history of Austin Area African Americans in film, will feature live music, rare photographs, film clips, local actors and will be hosted by film, television and theater veteran Julius Tennon. This historical presentation honors Austin's own Harlem Theater and lifetime achievement awards will be given to Austin's own Tennon, actress, comedian, music performer "Damita Jo" LeBlanc, and jazz musician Gil Askey, one of the architects of the famous Motown sound.
"This year's films represent the rich talent we have in this country and around the world both in front of and behind to camera," said Winston G. Williams, Executive Director of CCBFF.
Tennon, Co-President and Producer of JuVee Productions, and his wife, award-winning actress Viola Davis, have been supporters of CCBFF since its inception because they felt having a Black film presence in Austin was long overdue.
"Black films are important because they give African-American artists a place to showcase their work to our community, and to the wider communities across the country," said Tennon.
"They serve to shine a light on our stories and struggles, but more importantly, our success. They show that we are a force, and what we have to say stands for something."
Each year CCBFF has used opening night to elevate the arts. This year local, influential organizations are adding to the prestige, including partnerships with the Austin History Center, the Texas Preservation of Black History Project and the African American Cultural Heritage District.
After a tremendous inaugural year in September 2013 and experiencing unexpected growth in 2014, CCBFF continues to grow, going from two to five screens with a diverse slate of feature films, documentary/feature films, short films, documentary/short films and music videos. The film ratings will range from G through the maximum of R.

Abu Dhabi GP: Verstappen signs off with record-extending win
Published: November 21, 2022 08:04 AM IST
Topic | Motorsport
Abu Dhabi: Double world champion Max Verstappen signed off on a dominant 2022 Formula One campaign with a record-extending 15th win of the year in Sundays season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, as Charles Leclerc secured second in the overall standings.
The Dutchman, who wrapped up the title last month in Japan with four races to spare, was unchallenged as he led from pole position to chequered flag.
He crossed the line 8.7 seconds ahead of Leclerc, who having made just one stop, held on to second ahead of Verstappens two-stopping team mate Sergio Perez to edge him in their battle for second.
Qatar to make F1 race debut in November
Bahrain F1 GP to be held without spectators due to coronavirus
The pair had gone into the race level on points with Leclerc ahead on a countback of wins.Sundays victory was the 35th of Verstappens career and second in a row at the Yas Marina track.
However, unlike last season, it was a straightforward race that required no safety car interruptions.
"Incredible to win again here and 15th win of the season - unbelievable," said Verstappen.
"It's been really enjoyable to achieve something like this this year, I know it will be hard to replicate but it is good motivation to try and do the same next year.
"Perez, who completed a front row lockout for Red Bull in qualifying, was unable to hand the team a one-two finish on Sunday.
He chased down Leclerc at the end on fresher tyres but, delayed by slow moving backmarkers, ran out of laps.
"It's how it is sometimes," said Perez.
"At the end of the day, I have to be happy as I gave it my all and I'm sure we'll be back stronger next year.
"Leclerc hailed a perfect race."I was 110% from the first lap to the last lap," he said.
"I knew the only way to beat Checo was with a different strategy."Carlos Sainz, who went wheel-to-wheel with Lewis Hamilton early in the race, was fourth for Ferrari ahead of Mercedes racer George Russell, who served a five-second time penalty for an unsafe release from his pitstop.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton had his hopes of keeping intact his record of winning a race every season dashed by a hydraulics failure.
The Briton pulled into the pits to retire his Mercedes on the 55th of the races 58 laps.
Mercedes's misfortunes, a week on from taking a resurgent one-two in Brazil, meant the formerly dominant champions were unable to overhaul Ferrari and had to settle for third behind the Italian team in the overall standings.
Sebastian Vettel scored the final point in 10th on what has been an emotional swansong weekend for the Aston Martin driver.
The German raced hard from his ninth-place grid spot but a long first stint compromised him and dropped him down the field.
He signed off with some tyre smoking donuts on the start-finish straight.
Daniel Ricciardo took points in his last race for McLaren with a ninth-place finish.
Fernando Alonso, replacing Vettel at Aston Martin next year, failed to finish his last race for Alpine but the French manufacturer still secured fourth in the overall team standings ahead of McLaren.
Mick Schumacher, out of a drive next season after being replaced by Nico Hulkenberg at Haas, finished 16th ahead of team mate Kevin Magnussen.
He survived contact with Williams driver Nicholas Latifi, also out of a drive next year, that tipped both cars into a synchronised spin.

Moral Crimes, Afghan Justice, and a Small Town in Ohio
I am sure that they will try to kill her again. If her brother did this and they did not put him in jail, why would he have changed? And maybe he will even feel more strongly.
– Hassina Nekzad of Women for Afghan Women
In December, I wrote about Gul Meena, an Afghan girl who ran away from home with a man who was not her husband and survived an attempted honor killing – thanks in large part to the support of villagers and medical personnel in conservative eastern Afghanistan. Finally, we have an update on her story – complete with an incredible photo of her head and face, scarred by ax blows but still held together. Her survival is inspiring. But her story is also a challenge to those of us who believe in putting public pressure on the justice system to do the right thing.
Gul Meena's story broke at around the same time that the Steubenville, Ohio rape case hit the national media and the whole world learned the horrifying story of a rape in New Delhi. I had just written about a teenage girl who took to Twitter for revenge after the courts let off two boys who sexually assaulted her. In all three cases, thousands of people like me are concerned that the courts will not do their jobs. We contend that these cases are about more than just the individuals at stake; their outcomes will determine whether sexual assault is taken seriously by the courts and therefore by our society. We worry that not punishing these criminals does more than just let dangerous men go free – it endorses a culture that blames victims, not perpetrators, for assault. In other words, our worries are strikingly similar to those of the Pashtun villagers mentioned in the Times' original article.
While Gul Meena has survived for now, she remains in danger of what an American would call vigilante justice and what many Afghans would call reality. Tribal law and the court of public opinion could yet decide that her "moral crime" merits the punishment her brother tried to inflict, and if she goes home, the justice system can do little to protect her. Her best hope would be a trial of both her and her brother for their separate crimes. While the entire category of "moral crimes" is about as acceptable to women's rights advocates as blaming a female rape victim for getting drunk, it's the reality of Afghan law and the reason I was furious over criticism of western Afghanistan's chief prosecutor, Maria Bashir that was published in the Times last month.
After all, Bashir's effectiveness as a woman is directly tied to her performance as prosecutor. A respected advocate for Afghan women and winner of the U.S. Secretary of State's International Women of Courage award, Bashir has been a powerful force for fighting corruption and establishing rule of law in Herat Province. In a country where the formal justice system is often trumped by commonly held ideas about sharia and tribal law, Bashir's prosecution record – including for adultery, which is a crime under Afghan law – is outstanding. In the article, she is quoted as saying, "I want to be an enforcer of the law rather than human rights."
While it may pain Bashir to prosecute these women, she's taking the long view. It's the wise one. A functioning justice system that entitles any citizen to a fair trial under existing law is humanity's best solution to the vexing problem of crime. While some Americans still yearn for the Wild West, I am willing to bet that most women recognize they are safer inside a justice system than outside of it.
That's why today's news out of Steubenville is actually heartening. One of the lawyers for the two small-town football players accused of rape has requested a delay, a change of venue, and a closed trial. When I think about this case, a moral crime if ever there was one, I feel angry. I worry that the courts will find some absurd reason to let these boys go, silencing present and future victims of sexual assault who may lose their faith in justice as a result. But the only way to ensure justice in the long run is to give the accused a fair trial.
Meanwhile, the rest of us can do as so many Afghans have done for Gul Meena: support victims, even when that means risking our reputations on their behalf; advocate for necessary changes in our laws and our cultures; and hold the justice system accountable – not to our personal consciences, but to the law.

Home > Living With Arthritis > Treatments > Plan > Remission > Remission! Now What?
If your RA is in remission, you may want to take less medication or even a drug holiday.
There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but remission sure feels like one. Today, early and aggressive treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics makes remission more achievable than ever before. But how likely are you to reach remission, and how likely are you to sustain it? And when you reach it, do you stay on your medications or go off of them?
When remission in RA was first defined 1981, it was characterized as elimination of all disease. "That's a very hard target. We're more likely to be able to reach limited or small amount of disease," explains David T. Felson, MD, professor of medicine at Boston University and a practicing rheumatologist.
Because the definition of RA remission has been subjective in the past, published rates vary greatly, ranging from as little as 10% to more than 60%. Certain factors will bring you to the higher end of that range, the most important of which is early diagnosis and aggressive treatment.
"When treated early with DMARDs and biologics, remission rates can exceed 60%," says Paul Emery, MD, director, Leeds Institute of Rheumatic & Musculoskeletal Medicine, University of Leeds, United Kingdom, and one of the authors of the ACR/EULAR definition. For people who don't begin treatment within two years of first symptoms or who don't start biologics early in the course of disease, remission rates will range from 10% to 33%, as reported in various studies.
Having low disease activity levels at the start of treatment is also a predictor of being able to attain and maintain remission. It makes sense – a less active disease is easier to quiet.
Being a man will slightly increase your chance of remission. A study published in Arthritis Care & Research in 2012 found that men are 38% more likely to achieve and sustain remission during the first two years of having RA than women. But those gender differences don't last once patients have the disease for more than two years.
Being negative for the disease markers anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody, rheumatoid factor and the shared epitope have been associated with a higher chance of realizing remission. In a study published in Rheumatology in 2012, 20% of anti-CCP-negative patients attained and maintained remission, but only 2–5% of the anti-CCP-positive patients maintained remission.
Once remission has been achieved, whether you stop taking your RA medication is up to you and your doctor. Vivian Bykerk, MD, director of the Inflammatory Arthritis Center of Excellence, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York City, makes sure her patients maintain remission-level symptoms for at least one year before reducing their medications.
"Generally I will slowly taper drugs one at a time: first steroids [earlier than one year], then biologics and finally methotrexate," she says.
Dr. Emery keeps patients in a medicated remission for six months and then slowly reduces the medication dosages. "Remission is attainable for a good number of people – if you get diagnosed early and treated aggressively – but sustaining a drug-free remission for more than a year or so is unlikely," he says. In the BEST study, published in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases in 2011, 46% of the patients who achieved remission and stopped taking their medication had to restart therapy after five months.
While complete treatment withdrawal may be effective for a small number of patients, maintaining remission with a reduced-dose regimen, as Dr. Emery indicated, is likely the best option for a majority of people. That's because the disease may still be active even though signs of it appear to be gone. A 2015 study published in Arthritis Care & Research indicates that inflammation and joint damage may continue even in the absence of pain and apparent swelling. In such cases, magnetic resonance images may reveal underlying inflammation.
Other studies strengthen the case for reducing medication dosage rather than stopping completely. The PRIZE study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2014, analyzed patients with early RA. Significantly more patients who received the reduced-dose DMARD therapy remained in remission than patients who received no therapy after remission was achieved.
The RETRO study, presented at the 2014 ACR meeting, evaluated reducing, discontinuing, or continuing therapy in RA patients with stable, long-lasting remission. The patients that reduced or discontinued treatment were more likely to experience flares than the patients who continued full-dose treatment.
Many doctors favor reducing dosages in hopes of maintaining remission, but taking a drug holiday could be an option.
If you and your doctor decide you are a candidate for a drug holiday – a temporary stoppage of treatment – consider a few factors: the potential effect on your medication eligibility with your insurance company, the effectiveness of the drug when you restart it, and whether underlying joint damage continues even when RA is in remission.
If you achieve remission, you and your doctor can weigh the benefits and risks of taking a drug-free holiday. During this time, it's important that your doctor monitors you closely for signs of worsening disease activity or joint damage.
A second definition uses the Simplified Disease Activity Index to measure disease activity. It consists of a sum score of the four measures in the first definition plus a physician assessment.

Q: static NSDateFormatter always nil In my model object, I'm assigning a date like this:
static NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = nil;
if (nil == dateFormat) {
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
}

dateCreated = [dateFormat dateFromString:@"2013-03-04 09:16:41"];

What I'm seeing is that dateFormat is always nil; therefore, dateCreated is set to nil. Not sure how to go about debugging this...

A: reason for NSDateFormatter not nill is the static keyword in the start, static keyword initialize the NSDateFormatter nil only once and when you check the NSDateFormatter later in your code, it is never nil

A: The issue is simply that you've introduced another non-static dateFormat variable inside the if statement.
Try this:
static NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = nil;
if (nil == dateFormat) {
    dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; // NOT NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = ...
    [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
}
