Born in 1995 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Anastasia Shevtsova developed her love for the arts at an early age. She learned to play violin and piano, paint and sing. At the age of 10, she entered the Russian Academy of Ballet, and graduated nine years later. Anastasia has just joined the Mariinsky Theatre of Saint Petersburg, one of the world's most prestigious ballet companies, with a vast repertory, both classical and modern. Filmed during her last year of training, POLINA is Anastasia's first role on the big screen.
Jérémie Bélingard entered the Paris Opera Ballet School in 1987. In 1993, at the age of 18, he joined the Paris Opera Ballet company. He was awarded the title of Coryphée in 1994, Sujet in 1999 and Premier Danseur in 2001. In 1998, he won the Prix du Cercle Carpeaux, awarded once a year to an exceptional dancer of the Paris Opera Ballet company. On March 28, 2007, after his performance in Don Quixote (Rudolf Noureev), he was awarded the title of Etoile. In 2010, he was knighted with the medal for Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture.
In 2011, Bélingard choreographed Bye Bye Vénus with hip-hop dancers for the Suresnes Cités Dance Festival. He has been featured in numerous advertising campaigns for brands such as Hermès, Sony, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Givenchy.
For film, he created and performed the choreography of the animated film BALLERINA by Eric Summer and Eric Warin, and recently played a role in Laetitia Casta's short film IN ME, presented at the closing ceremony of the 2016 Cannes International Critics' Week.
While studying the History of Art and Cinema, Valérie Müller worked as an assistant director and production assistant.
She then made several documentaries - AVANT LA PARADE (1994), PORTRAIT EN MOUVEMENT (1996), L'EFFET CASIMIR and REGARD SUR ANGELIN PRELJOCAJ (1999) - and the short films UN MATIN BLANC (1995) with Camille Japy, LA SURFACE DE RÉPARATION (1998) with Marion Cotillard, CELLULE (2003) with Sylvain Groud and Sidi Graoui, and LES HOMMES S'EN SOUVIENDRONT (2007) with Marina Foïs.
In 2009, she co-wrote L'IDENTITÉ with François Favrat and Olivier Soler and in 2012, DELUGE with Salvatore Lista.
In 2013, she directed LE MONDE DE FRED with Olivier Soler, Marina Golovine, Virginie Ledoyen, Lorant Deutsch and Vahina Giocante.
With her production company LITHIUM FILMS, she co-produced the film TINY DANSERS (2007) by Eva Husson, short films LES HOMMES S'EN SOUVIENDRONT and CELLULE, and feature-length film LE MONDE DE FRED, which she also directed, as well as LA DERNIÈRE PERLE (2015) by Angelin Preljocaj, still in development, and the documentary ELDORADO (2007), directed by Olivier Assayas.
POLINA is the second feature-length film she has co-directed with Angelin Preljocaj.
Born in France to Albanian parents, Angelin Preljocaj studied classical dance and then turned to contemporary dance with Karin Waehner. In 1980, he left for New York to work with Zena Rommett and Merce Cunningham, then continued his study in France with American choreographer Viola Farber and the French Quentin Rouillier. He then joined Dominique Bagouet dance company until he created his own company in 1985. He has since choreographed 49 pieces, from solos to large ensembles.
Preljocaj has often collaborated with other artists, such as Enki Bilal (Romeo and Juliet, 1990), Goran Vejvoda (Landscape After the Battle, 1997), Air (Near Life Experience, 2003), Granular Synthesis ("N", 2004), Fabrice Hyber (The Four Seasons, 2005), Karlheinz Stockhausen (Eldorado - Sonntags Abschied, 2007), Jean Paul Gaultier (Snow White, 2008), Constance Guisset (Le Funambule, 2009), Claude Lévêque (Siddharta, 2010), Laurent Garnier and Subodh Gupta (And Then, One Thousand Years of Peace, 2010), Azzedine Alaïa and Natacha Atlas (The Nights, 2013).
Preljocaj's creations have become repertory around the world and his work is commissioned by dance companies such as the New York City Ballet, La Scala de Milan, and the Paris Opera Ballet.
After directing short films Le Postier and Idées Noires en 1991, his first feature-length film Un Trait d'Union (1992) earned him the 1992 Vidéo-Danse 1st Prize and 1993 Prague Video Festival Prize, followed by Annonciation (2003), for which he was awarded the Grand Prix du Film d'Art in 2003. In 2009, he directed Snow White, and in 2011 he created the commercial L'Envol for Air France, based on the choreography of Le Parc.
Preljocaj has also collaborated on several films of his own choreographic work: Les Raboteurs with Cyril Collard (based on the painting by Gustave Caillebotte) in 1988, Pavillon Noir with Pierre Coulibeuf in 2006 and Eldorado/Preljocaj with Olivier Assayas in 2007.
The many books written about his work include Angelin Preljocaj (Actes Sud, 2003), Pavillon Noir (Xavier Barral, 2006), Angelin Preljocaj, Topologie de l'invisible (Naïve, 2008), Angelin Preljocaj, de la création à la mémoire de la danse (Belles Lettres, 2011) and Angelin Preljocaj (La Martinière, 2015), published on the 30-year anniversary of his dance company.
Throughout his career, Preljocaj has earned numerous awards, including the "Grand Prix National de la Danse" from the French Ministry of Culture in 1992, the "Benois de la Danse" for Le Parc in 1995, the "Bessie Award" for Annonciation in 1997, "Les Victoires de la musique" for Romeo and Juliet in 1997 and the "Globe de Cristal" for Snow White in 2009. The French Minister of Culture has knighted him "Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur" and awarded him the honorific titles "Officier des Arts et des Lettres" and "Officier de l'Ordre du Mérite." In 2014, he earned the Samuel H. Scripps/ American Dance Festival Lifetime Achievement Award.
Since October 2006, the Preljocaj Ballet and its 24 company members work and create in the Pavillon Noir in Aix-en-Provence, a space consecrated entirely to dance.
POLINA is Preljocaj's first fiction film, co-directed with Valérie Müller.


One reason is genetic diversity.
Some plants better adapt to certain evolving challenges, improving their probability of survival. Access to key characteristics through the preservation of genetic diversity leads to a wider array of plant innovations.
Today's plant breeders have the most advanced and precise technologies in the history of agriculture at their disposal to achieve the progress that our population and our planet need. An exciting innovation that has captured the attention of researchers is gene editing, which allows scientists to make targeted changes within the plant's own DNA to produce a better crop. These "edits" fine-tune a plant's own genetic material, and can enable stronger seed products more quickly and predictably than other plant breeding tools. Though agricultural products enabled by gene editing are in the early stages of development and use, academics, industry researchers and policy-makers are already discussing how these tools will be evaluated and managed to ensure their safe and responsible use.

The choice of Stockholm as the setting for the first international seminar organised by the International Underwriting Association of London reflects the outward-looking approach adopted immediately by the association, says Marie-Louise Rossi.
Stockholm is an excellent choice of location for the first international seminar organised by the International Underwriting Association (IUA). Apart from its well known attractions as a tourist centre, it is one of Europe's more outward-looking and cosmopolitan cities, and has long prospered as a trading centre. It has a strong sense of its own worth, but welcomes people of all nationalities; modern, yet proud of its traditions.
These are values with which the IUA readily identifies. We are an international association, serving a global industry. Our roots and the majority of our members are in London which, for well known historical reasons, provides the world's main insurance marketplace and centre of expertise. At the same time, we are international in our focus and outlook.
The seminar itself reflects the changing and increasingly global nature of reinsurance. We have made a special effort to encourage people from within to take a detached, broad view of the industry. That is, of course, reflected in the theme, Through the Looking Glass, and it is why we have invited more people than usual from outside to give us their views.
It is all too tempting, especially in difficult market conditions, to become introspective. Far better to share experiences, encourage outsiders' views and consider the lessons we can learn, not just from other companies, but from other industries as well. Information swapping at all levels, in the conference hall, over dinner or in the bar, is one of the most important features of such a seminar. Indeed, our first debate is entitled the Reinsurance industry - how others see us, and I expect some of the speakers to be critical, or at least draw our attention to the changing needs of the market.
Among the many other areas that we are covering, we shall take a close look at the great consolidation debate, examine how different companies are adapting to "big is beautiful" and look at why electronic commerce has not yet brought the industry the benefits some thought it would.
Events like this also provide an opportunity to gain a greater insight into the activities of others, who are responding to and helping shape the changing commercial environment. For that reason, we are delighted that so many senior people have agreed to take part, including Jim Duffy of St Paul Re, Max Taylor of Lloyd's, Bill Adamson of CNA Re and Michael O'Halleran of Aon.
For the first time, we have introduced breakout sessions. These will give delegates a wider choice of topic and the opportunity to have more direct dialogue with the eminent speakers who have agreed to take part. Global market developments, alternative risk transfer, the impact of the single European currency, the future direction of electronic commerce and the crucial question of the insurance cycle are all issues of particular relevance to senior executives.We have, in addition, allowed more time for feedback from the floor. We know that delegates value the opportunity to question or put points to speakers and this emphasises our Through the Looking Glass theme.
Further details of the association's year-round activities can be found in the pages following this introduction. Other articles consider the (re)insurance market as a whole, and David Holmes, head of secretariat at the IUA, sums up the changes the industry has seen over the years with a good deal of wit in: A colourful past, a lively present and an exciting future.
The piece also traces the history behind this seminar - the fourteenth in a series previously organised by two of our predecessor associations, the Reinsurance Offices' Association (ROA) and the London International Insurance and Reinsurance Market Association (LIRMA), whose last seminar was held in Dublin in 1997. The IUA is proud to continue the tradition and I am confident that this year's event will prove a great success.

When it comes to relaying an event or a random rant to your social-media friends, it may make sense to do it where you invest a lot of your time: on Facebook. Facebook Live Video App: Facebook Live is an interactive means to share exactly what you're doing while you are doing it.
The function was first introduced in 2015 as well as readily available just to stars. Ever since, Facebook has actually made it offered to any type of customer with an energetic profile or Page.

-On iphone, a list of alternatives will appear listed below the text field, faucet on Live Video > Continue.
-Offer your Live Video a title (e.g. "Playing miniature golf!") and also establish the degree of privacy (friends, public, etc).
When you begin streaming, an alert will be sent to your Facebook friends, informing them of your stream. The leading half of your display will show exactly what your visitors are seeing, with a control to switch over between the front and rear encountering camera in the top-right corner.
The bottom fifty percent of the display is where notifications of remarks and new audiences will show up. During a stream, you could include filter results to the Video, switch in between the front and also back camera or get in remarks in the text field near the bottom.
On an iOS device, you could likewise draw on the screen to show or highlight an object to visitors. The drawing attribute is missing from the Android variation of the app (at least on my tools). However, Android individuals can send out invites to certain Facebook Friends throughout a Real-time Video, whereas the same feature seems to be missing out on from my iOS devices.

Effect of sidewall on heat transfer and flow structure in Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Zhen Hua Wan, Ping Wei, Roberto Verzicco, Detlef Lohse, Guenter Ahlers, Richard J.A.M. Stevens*
Physics of Fluids
In Rayleigh-Bénard convection experiments, the thermal coupling between the sidewall and fluid is unavoidable. As a result, the thermal properties of the sidewall can influence the flow structure that develops. To get a better understanding of the influence of the sidewall, we performed a one-to-one comparison between experiments and direct numerical simulations (DNS) in aspect ratio (diameter over height) samples. We focus on the global heat transport, i.e. the Nusselt number , and the local vertical temperature gradients near the horizontal mid-plane on the cylinder axis and close to the sidewall. The data cover the range where is the Rayleigh number. The number obtained from experimental measurements and DNS, in which we use an adiabatic sidewall, agree well. The experiments are performed with several gases, which have widely varying thermal conductivities, but all have a Prandtl number . For , both experiments and DNS reveal a stabilizing (positive) temperature gradient at the cylinder axis. This phenomenon was known for high , but had not been observed for small before. The experiments reveal that the temperature gradient decreases with decreasing and eventually becomes destabilizing (negative). The decrease appears at a higher when the sidewall admittance, which measures how easily the heat transfers from the fluid to the wall, is smaller. However, the simulations with an adiabatic sidewall do not reproduce the destabilizing temperature gradient at the cylinder axis in the low number regime. Instead, these simulations show that the temperature gradient increases with decreasing . We find that the simulations can reproduce the experimental findings on the temperature gradient at the cylinder axis qualitatively when we consider the physical properties of the sidewall and the thermal shields. However, the temperature gradients obtained from experiments and simulations do not agree quantitatively. The reason is that it is incredibly complicated to reproduce all experimental details accurately due to which it is impossible to reproduce all experimental measurement details. The simulations show, in agreement with the models of Ahlers (Phys. Rev. E, vol. 63 (1), 2000, 015303) and Roche et al. (Eur. Phys. J. B, vol. 24 (3), 2001, pp. 405-408), that the sidewall can act as an extra heat conductor, which absorbs heat from the fluid near the bottom plate and releases it into the fluid near the top plate. The importance of this effect decreases with increasing . A crucial finding of the simulations is that the thermal coupling between the sidewall and fluid can strongly influence the flow structure, which can result in significant changes in heat transport. Since this effect goes beyond a simple short circuit of the heat transfer through the sidewall, it is impossible to correct experimental measurements for this effect. Therefore, careful design of experimental set-ups is required to minimize the thermal interaction between the fluid and sidewall.

If you think that you don't need a financial planner because you don't have enough money, you are wrong. Planning your finances doesn't just mean retirement planning, it is also imperative to your current life.
Part of the reason that wealthy people are wealthy, is because they plan and budget according to what they have and what they want in the future. If you intend to be wealthy in Oakland or at least comfortable in the future, you need to consult with an Oakland financial planner today. If parenthood happens to be in your plans for the future, financial advice can also help you afford that.
Why Do I Need to Use Financial Planners?
"I do not have enough money to make it to the end of the month, what can a Oakland financial planner do for me?" "I live paycheck to paycheck, why do I need planners for my finances?" "If I could afford to use financial planners, I would not need them!" Do any of these statements sound familiar? Even if you have not said or thought them verbatim, if you are like most of us you have thought along similar lines. I am going to let you know some of the reasons why Oakland residents without much money are the exact people who need to make an appointment to use one of the many Oakland financial planners now.
If you live from check to check, an Oakland financial planner can still help you find where you are needlessly spending money and help you make out a budget which will allow you to start saving money. I can hear you now saying "but I do not needlessly spend any money!" Look closely at what you spend your money on; do you ever buy a bottle of water or a cup of coffee? Do you ever buy your lunch instead of brown bagging it from home? When a cup of Oakland coffee averages around five dollars, one bought for every workday will add up to close to one hundred dollars a month. If on those same days you buy a bottle of water or soda at your corner Oakland market then you are spending another twenty-five to fifty dollars a month and if you buy lunch even one day each week you are spending close to two hundred dollars a month that can be considered 'needless' spending.
Use of an Oakland financial planner can help you determine where your money drains exist and give you the means to plug them and put that money to better use.
Living on a budget in California can be difficult but if you intend to get ahead financially in Oakland, it has to be done. Oakland financial planners can help you make a budget that you can live with. If you absolutely can not live without your Venti Mocha Latte, take the money that you are handing over to the coffee house every month and put it toward an espresso machine and make your own. This way you are just budgeting for your supplies every month and not helping a coffee house meet their overhead.
With a budget, an Oakland financial planner is then able to advise you on different saving or investment strategies which will allow you to grow a nest egg and have some breathing room when you pay your bills. With the CA economic crisis, we all need to have money put back in the case of unemployment or major expenses. Careful planning done by skilled planners can help give you the ability to weather any of the storms in your finances that can comes your way.
Without a good picture of where you are with your Oakland California finances, you can not make a plan for where you want to go. It takes determination and dedication to devise a budget in CA and stick to it, but without doing this you will be in the same place next year that you are right now. You can not count on winning the lottery or an unknown Uncle dying and leaving you a fortune. Even if either of those two things happens, if you have not learned proper money management, you will be back to square one in no time.
Contact one of the many Oakland financial planners and get instruction and guidance on your finances. Not only will they help you with your short term planning, with their help you can begin to make contributions to a California 401k, traditional IRA, Roth IRA, college and other ideas for your education.


A company in Katy is currently providing "shooter detection systems" for several districts in the Houston area.
HISD, Katy, Alief, Fort Bend, and Alvin are among the school districts relying on the technology system developed by CLS Technology INC.
The sensors are placed all over school campuses and are offering real-time information to police faster than ever before.
Within seconds of detecting a gun shot, the system sends out alert notifications, which significantly cuts down on any delay of medical help.
And with America averaging one school shooting per week in 2018, systems like this are crucial.
On the Factor to talk about this technology is security consultant Robert Wimberley.

Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles have figured out a way to make social distancing work for them. Last Thursday, the two friendly exes were seemingly spotted taking a joy ride around the streets of Los Angeles together, yet apart, driving separate vehicles, reported Just Jared. The supermodel of Keeping Up with the Kardashians acclaim drove her vintage baby-blue convertible, with longtime pal Fai Khadra riding shotgun.
Meanwhile, someone who appeared to be the Fine Line singer rode next to her on a motorcycle. Suffice to say, he was at least six feet away from her. The former flames often bump into each other at public events, last reuniting in February, when they attended the Brit Awards' after-party at The Standard hotel in London and were photographed chatting with another guest. The One Direction alum has also repeatedly been hounded about his romantic past with Jenner.
In a December guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , host Ellen DeGeneres poked fun at their friendship, subtly suggesting that something more romantic was at play behind the scenes before Styles shut her down with an awkward, "Okay. Styles also divulged that he writes his music from personal experience—meaning that a song could potentially be about Jenner.

It's not easy to have a social interaction during this time of quarantine, unless Zoom or FaceTime is involved. Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner found a way to be social—and distant—this past week. On Thursday, Jenner took her lavender Cadillac Eldorado out on the road for a drive, and her ex-boyfriend Styles rode alongside her on his motorcycle, per Just Jared. Just Jared says the person on the motorcycle next to Jenner appears to be Styles, but it's not out of the question that this is true.
Jenner was wearing a shimmery green dress while Styles was in a bright yellow and purple Marc Jacobs outfit.

During their time in Atlanta, the two ex-Falcons were seemingly on opposite ends of the fanbase's acceptance spectrum. Douglas, drafted in the third round of the NFL Draft , caught passes for 3, yards and eight touchdowns in his six seasons with the Falcons. He missed the season with a torn ACL.

Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia has launched a Web site to keep the public informed of the state's progress in bringing the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) to Athens.
The site, www.uga.edu/nbaf, contains information on the latest developments in the state's efforts to attract the federal research facility as well as answers to frequently asked questions. The site also provides the public an opportunity to subscribe to a listserv that offers information on community meetings and other announcements.
Lee is spearheading the bid from the Georgia Consortium for Health and Agro-Security, an alliance that includes Governor Sonny Perdue, Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, and the state's congressional delegation; the state's research universities; state and local government agencies; and key agriculture and industry partners.
The $500 million facility could employ 250 to 300 scientists and staff and generate as much as $6 billion in local economic impact over 20 years, according to an analysis by the university's Carl Vinson Institute of Government. Importantly, NBAF also could make Georgia a center for biomedical research focused on understanding the relationships among animal and human diseases.
The NBAF will modernize the nation's efforts to protect against diseases that threaten public health and agriculture. It will specifically focus on diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans, such as avian flu, SARS and anthrax, as well as foreign animal diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease. The high-level biosafety facility also would work to develop countermeasures, including vaccines, against such diseases.
In March 2006, Georgia submitted proposals for two sites on property owned by the University of Georgia – one on College Station Road and a second on South Milledge Avenue. In August, DHS winnowed the list of 29 sites around the country to 18 sites in 11 states. DHS will conduct site visits this spring. A short list of finalists will be announced in June, followed by an environmental assessment of each site. DHS is expected to announce its choice for the site in October 2008, with construction beginning in 2010.
Lee will provide an overview of the NBAF initiative to Athens Kiwanis Club on Tuesday, Feb. 13.

La república de españoles fue, junto a la república de indios, una de las dos formas de organización sociopolítica en Nueva España. Esta forma de organizar a los españoles no fue tan ordenada como la República de Indios en lo legislativo. Además, estaban subordinados a las leyes de Castilla.

En este tipo de organización estaban los españoles y los criollos. La existencia fue más implícita que expresa. Sólo se hace expresa cuando tiene que normar sus relaciones con los indios. Las ciudades y villas fueron habitadas por españoles y sus habitantes fueron conocidos como "vecinos" o cabezas de familia "española".

Se consideraban como españoles, no solo a los criollos, sino que también a aquellos que tuvieran una proporción reducida de sangre de indígenas y también a los mestizos de unión legítima. Solo aquellos que no fueran indios, mestizos negros o de casta podían aplicar para convertirse en ser miembros del cabildo.

Para los españoles lo más importante era obtener poder y prestigio. Una manera de obtener prestigio para los criollos fue a través de los cabildos. Otra forma era a través de la posesión "y ejercicio de profesiones honrosas, como la clerecía y los grados académicos". Aunque los cargos de verdadera importancia política, únicamente los podían obtener los de la peninsula, por ejemplo, el cargo de virrey. "Muchos de los hombres ricos en el virreinato tenían la ilusión de regresar a España y ser reconocidos en su patria como nobles", por lo que compraban cargos públicos y eran precavidos de no caer en desgracia y ser destituidos.

Un título de nobleza castellana del siglo XVII es el del título de castilla, que contaba con mayorazgos, que "significaba vincular cierta cantidad de pertenencias inmuebles a una línea patrimonial; con ello se aseguraba la continuidad de los bienes en una familia".

El tribunal de la Inquisición también jugó un papel importante, pues juzgaba a los reos fuera de la iglesia y evaluaba la gravedad de las faltas cometidas y los condenaba de ser necesario.

Google Arts and Culture pays homage to the museum with a mind-blowing short film.
The 20th anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao has brought many special events during 2017 to the city, all of them celebrating such an important milestone. After shows like the recent Reflektions, now the museum has partnered with Google to offer a new special as part of the Google Arts and Culture Project.
Thanks to this collaboration we can now discover new details of the museum that transformed Bilbao, from its construction to its most important masterpieces. Moreover, with the help of Google Street View we can now go for a walk trough the hallways of the museum without leaving out home.
However, the crown jewel of this new Project is the film "Bending Gravity". Produced by Stink Studios, the short film follows urban photographer Trashhand and free runner Johan Tonnoir exploring the emblematic building, depicting it as it's never been before.


Pig diarrhoea – it may not be the nicest of subjects to photograph, but it is certainly important when all that matters is raising pigs in the best conditions possible. There's plenty of information on diarrhoea the latest issue of Pig Progress.
About Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea virus (PEDv), a lot has been said and written. It is even become clear that over the world, different strains of PEDv have emerged. Most notably, a more severe PEDv strain that is well known in North America and Asia, and a less catastrophic variety in again the US and mainland Europe.
For Pig Progress, author Andrea Ladinig from the University of Vienna, Austria, kindly put it all together. Which virus broke out when and where – and what were causes and consequences? Page 24.
Piglets with PEDv huddling together.
More practical is the question how to discover diarrhoea-causing pathogens rapidly? After all, a rapid and early detection ensures a targeted treatment. If early detection can lead to a very low dosage of antibiotics applied in only one pen, a world is won. Authors Dr Ken Steen Pedersen, Ø-Vet and Dr Nicolai Rosiger Weber, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, saw an added value in using 'sock sampling'. Page 22.
From there it is just a short step to zoom out to the United States. How is the country doing after the PED epidemic? Dr John Strak thinks that in the long run, the USA might actually do well because of the disease: it clearly showed that good biosecurity is a 'must-have' now. This, and other topics are discussed in a tempting article titled, 'What if the US pig sector lived up to its potential?' Page 12.
Sampling by walking: The socks will be analysed after having visited the batch.
USA: The pig giant that just woke up.
Feed additives – how can they help to reduce antibiotics?
One other focus of this magazine is 'feed additives', and this issue highlights different types of additives. The more that becomes known about the functionality of phytogenics, the stronger the proof gets that they can play a role in reducing antibiotic usage. Authors Sabine Pruckner, Nataliya Roth and Diego Padoan, Biomin, explain the results of trials in China. Page 30.
Much the same can be said about yeast, as ongoing research tells more about its function to regulate immune status in piglets. David Saornil at Lallemand Animal Nutrition tells all about it. Page 32.
Natural growth promotors can positively change piglets' micro-ecological environment.
Addition of yeast probiotics to sow feed appears to have a positive effect on the concentration of colostral milk IgA.
Algae are also known to enhance pig health. A French farm used algae products in all possible ways, to enhance a pig farm's already good health status. Pig Progress took a look. Page 20.
Where feed additives can also play a role, is in keeping sow claws healthy. Knowing more about pig claws can be achieved by knowing better how the owners use them. That is why a team at Leipzig University, Germany, filmed pig motion using X-ray high speed cameras. Page 8.
Outside image of Balusson Farm. The 1,900 sow facility is performing well for a farm of this size.
Swill feed: to use or not to use?
In an attempt to feed the world by 2050, a plea was launched recently to start re-introducing swill as pig feed. Not randomly, but very well thought-through, in a controlled way. Examples from South Korea and Japan tell a success story. An idea, launched by Erasmus zu Ermgassen, Cambridge University, UK, that is worth giving some thought. Page 28.
And which are the effects of bad-doing age groups in a pig farm? They continue to do bad in the next age group. Time to appreciate each phase of life of each pig, Dr Brenda de Rodas, Purina Animal Nutrition writes. Page 27.
Regular ingredients include columns by John Gadd (on new technical terms), by Dr Casey Bradley (on little things that make big things happen), the Bigger Picture (taking you to Chongqing, China) and Numbers & Figures (where is most feed produced?).
Nutritional and management solutions pre-weaning and through weaning transition can help position pigs for long term success through all phases.
Food waste of pig feed?

PUBG Corp tried a weekly update schedule, but couldn't keep up the pace
By Andy Chalk 24 July 2019
That's okay, though, because PUBG isn't Fortnite and doesn't want to be.
(Image credit: PUBG Corp)
Fortnite is a massively successful game, but that success came at a price. Its frantic pace of updates keeps players engaged but it also reportedly keeps employees locked in a state of brutal crunch to keep up with the demand for a constant flow of new content. In an interview with PCGamesN, PUBG Corp studio director Brian Corrigan said that the team actually took a shot at maintaining a similar pace with the PUBG update schedule, but found that it just couldn't keep it up.
"Last fall—and I said this before, publicly—but we were trying for this weekly update cadence. And it was one of those things where a bunch of us were like, look, we want to improve things as fast as possible. There's some stuff that drives us crazy as players, and who's going to fix it? Us! We're the developers, we've got to go fix it, just because we ourselves want to play the fixed version," Corrigan said.
"So we tried to crank out these patches on a weekly cycle last year, and it just really didn't work out. If you've been on this side of game development before, that's a pretty hard pace to keep to. So we slowed it down a little this year, and we've been doing smaller patches every month, and a bigger season schedule."
Corrigan doesn't see that as a problem, though, because he considers PUBG and Fortnite to be very different sorts of games. "We have a more high-intensity competitive game, we've got a functional esports program that we're putting a lot of time into right now," he said.
"If there's pieces [of Fortnite] that work for us, that's great, because we should learn from the best teachers across a lot of different games, but our formula is unique. That's something we understand, and we have to always remember: this PUBG formula is unique, there really is nothing else out there like it."
While PUBG Corp is no longer trying to keep up with Epic's breakneck pace, Corrigan said the studio wants to do a better job of communicating with its players what it's actually getting up to—and that members of the community are already "seeing a different voice of the company this year."
"There's a thing in design development that nobody wants design by committee, because usually you get the lowest common denominator of everything, and that's not a good idea. But you also want to share intent, I guess, and explain why things sometimes are the way they are," he said.
"Hopefully people are seeing us do a bit of a better job on that—this year we've started to do more detailed patch notes, we started to have these dev letters coming out. Some of us, including me, are trying to do more community podcasts and interviews, things like that, and just, you know, tell people, 'We're human, and we care about the game as much as you'."
Playerunknown's Battlegrounds set up its fourth season last week with a surprise story trailer, something we haven't seen in PUBG previously but will likely encounter more of in the future.
Corrigan said the developers "have all these stories that we want to tell," and that "this is the first little nip of what we're planning. Definitely keep an eye out for a lot more in the future."

Q: Turn adjacency list into table I've hit a brick wall in a project I'm messing around with. I've got an adjacency list in a database where I've got a series of nested categories.
It's in the format of Id,Category,Parent_Id and works quite well.
I'd like to display it as a table so that people can add and alter categories without too much confusion. This is where I'm failing. I can't for the life of me work out how to get it displaying correctly.
When I query the database, I end up with a series of nested tuples similar to this:
((1L, 'First', None), (2L, 'Second', None), (3L, 'Third', None), (4L, 'Fourth', 1L), (5L, 'Fifth', 4L), (6L, 'Sixth', 3L), (7L, 'Seventh', 8L), (8L, 'Eighth', None))

The data gets changed a bit, so there's no guarantee of order. I assume I need some sort of recursive function to turn it into a table, but I just can't get my head around it. Just something like this would be nice:
First | Fourth | Fifth
Second
Third | Sixth
Eighth | Seventh

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to achieve this? It's almost impossible to get outside modules onto the box I'm working on and it's only running python 2.5, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: Before posting I'd come up with the following code:
list = ((1L, 'First', None), (3L, 'Third', None), (4L, 'Fourth', 1L),
        (6L, 'Sixth', 3L), (7L, 'Seventh', 8L), (8L, 'Eighth', None),
        (2L, 'Second', None), (5L, 'Fifth', 4L))

levels = []
levels.append([_[0] for _ in list if _[2] is None])
for x in xrange(0,len(list[0])):
   levels.append([])
   for item in list:
       levels[-1].append(item[0]) if item[2] in levels[-2] else None
   if sum([len(_) for _ in levels]) == len(list): break

From that I get nested lists for each level:

>>> levels
[[1L, 3L, 8L, 2L], [4L, 6L, 7L], [5L]]

From here I get a little lost. I assume to turn this into a table, I need as many lists as there will be rows in the finished table. I can find the longest list in the nest of lists to give the amount of rows, it's working in two dimensions to fill the table out that's had me stumped.
The actual output is a non-thing. I can print the table in a way that suits me without much effort. It's the thinking to create the table that's hurting me. I know it's possible to do with SQL queries such as in Suggest SQL Query to retrieve all leaf nodes from Adjacency List Model, I was just hoping there was a way to do it in Python so I could learn more about handling this sort of data set.

A: Not quite sure about the format of the expected output however here is an approach:
data = ((1L, 'First', None), (3L, 'Third', None), (4L, 'Fourth', 1L),
        (6L, 'Sixth', 3L), (7L, 'Seventh', 8L), (8L, 'Eighth', None), (2L, 'Second', None), (5L, 'Fifth', 4L))

def get_tuple_by_id(tuple_id):
    for item in data:
        if item[0] == tuple_id:
            return item

def arrange_data(items):
    new_list = ()

    for an_item in items:
        parent_id = an_item[2]
        if parent_id:
            parent = get_tuple_by_id(parent_id)
            new_tuple = an_item + (parent[1],)
            new_list += (new_tuple,)
        else:
            new_list += (an_item,)

    return sorted(new_list, key=lambda x: x[0])

def render(items):
    print '{name:15}{parent}'.format(name='name', parent='parent')
    print '{name:15}{parent}'.format(name='--------', parent='-------')
    for item in items:
        print '{name:15}{parent}'.format(name=item[1], parent=item[3] if item[2] else '')

ad = arrange_data(data)
render(ad)

Output:
name           parent
--------       -------
First
Second
Third
Fourth         First
Fifth          Fourth
Sixth          Third
Seventh        Eighth
Eighth

Below is an a solution for showing table and nesting level. It uses prettytable which is supported by python 2.5.
Install table renderer: pip install prettytable
from prettytable import PrettyTable

data = ((1L, 'First', None), (3L, 'Third', None), (4L, 'Fourth', 1L),
        (6L, 'Sixth', 3L), (7L, 'Seventh', 8L), (8L, 'Eighth', None), (2L, 'Second', None), (5L, 'Fifth', 4L))

def get_tuple_by_id(tuple_id):
    for item in data:
        if item[0] == tuple_id:
            return item

def arrange_data(items):
    new_list = ()

    for an_item in items:
        parent_id = an_item[2]
        if parent_id:
            parent = get_tuple_by_id(parent_id)
            new_tuple = an_item + (parent[1],)
            new_list += (new_tuple,)
        else:
            new_list += (an_item,)

    return sorted(new_list, key=lambda x: x[0])

ad = arrange_data(data)
t = PrettyTable(['Category', 'Level'])

for item in ad:
    t.add_row([item[1], 1 if item[2] else 0])

print t

Result:
+----------+-------+
| Category | Level |
+----------+-------+
|  First   |   0   |
|  Second  |   0   |
|  Third   |   0   |
|  Fourth  |   1   |
|  Fifth   |   1   |
|  Sixth   |   1   |
| Seventh  |   1   |
|  Eighth  |   0   |
+----------+-------+

Note: If you data in be nested multiple level then some modification can also achieve that. At the moment it's only considering 0 or 1 level nesting only.
The following handles multilevel nesting by using recursive function:
from prettytable import PrettyTable

data = (
    (1L, 'First', None),
    (2L, 'Second', None),
    (3L, 'Third', None),
    (4L, 'Fourth', 1L),
    (5L, 'Fifth', 4L),
    (6L, 'Sixth', 3L),
    (7L, 'Seventh', 8L),
    (8L, 'Eighth', None),
    (9L, 'Ninth', 5L),
    (10L, 'Tenth', 9L),
    (11L, 'Eleventh', 10L),
    (12L, 'Twelfth', 11L))

def get_tuple_by_id(tuple_id, level=1):
    for item in data:
        if item[0] == tuple_id:
            parent_id = item[2]
            if parent_id:
                level += 1
                return get_tuple_by_id(parent_id, level)
            else:
                return (item, level)

def arrange_data(items):
    new_list = ()

    for an_item in items:
        parent_id = an_item[2]
        if parent_id:
            parent, level = get_tuple_by_id(parent_id)
            print an_item, level

            new_tuple = an_item + (level,)
            new_list += (new_tuple,)
        else:
            an_item += (0,)
            new_list += (an_item,)

    return sorted(new_list, key=lambda x: x[0])

ad = arrange_data(data)
t = PrettyTable(['Category', 'Level'])

for item in ad:
    t.add_row([item[1], item[3]])

print t

Output:
+----------+-------+
| Category | Level |
+----------+-------+
|  First   |   0   |
|  Second  |   0   |
|  Third   |   0   |
|  Fourth  |   1   |
|  Fifth   |   2   |
|  Sixth   |   1   |

Summary: Looking through the words contained in the Epistle to the Romans at the everyday news that has highlighted this week demonstrates to us just how timeless God's Word is.
(Romans 3:9-18) What shall we conclude then? Are we any better ? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. 10 As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." 13 "Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit." "The poison of vipers is on their lips." 14 "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." 15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 ruin and misery mark their ways, 17 and the way of peace they do not know." 18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
Up to this juncture in Romans, Paul has pointed out that the heathen are lost because, even though they had the witness of both nature and conscience, they suppressed God's truth to them. Paul has also shown that the moral man is lost because even though he outwardly put on a façade to judge the heathen, inwardly he was guilty of the same sins. Likewise the Jew is lost because he has not kept the law, and neither his circumcision, ancestry, nor arguments can save him from the condemnation of disobedience.
It doesn't take a scholar to see the applications and principles found in Romans can be applied throughout every vestige or hint of human thought or action. And, dare we say, much more today than ever before?
Every day of every week there is something going on in the world that proclaims the inferiority of someone else. Human beings are fast to point out others' shortcomings. And, as time goes on, it seems as if this finger pointing is becoming even more brutal. It seems that we talk about others or look at news reports to assure us of just how good we are. Or, to calm any fears that might be getting out of hand in our own actions.
Inside the Christ-less soul, inside the Jesus-deprived heart, there is a deep down sense of imperfection or insufficiency that has been repudiated for a time, it's been placated for a short season. They think that they have, in their own minds, reached a point of self-actualization through a flippant comparison or the unwarranted condemnation.
A human being without Christ is a lonely individual that has no release for their own imperfections and thus they attack others to harvest a short-term release. A human being without Christ is a lonely individual that has no release for their own inadequacies and insufficiencies and thus they attempt bring others down to their own level to placate those inadequacies and insufficiencies.
Conversely, a Christian has such a release for those imperfections. It is to the detriment of a believer that there is a balm in Gilead.
There is a Balm in Gilead, and He is Jesus. Your release from all your imperfections, inadequacies, and insufficiencies are found in separating yourself from the world and joining Christ, through faith in the finished work of the cross.

Lawyers: US not investigating Prince Andrew in Epstein probe
Posted: Jun 8, 2020 / 11:25 AM PDT / Updated: Jun 8, 2020 / 11:25 AM PDT

Attorneys representing Britain's Prince Andrew have lambasted U.S. justice authorities, Monday June 8, 2020, for what they described as a violation of commitments to confidentiality in their discussions with him about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.(AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit, FILE)
LONDON (AP) — Attorneys representing Britain's Prince Andrew say they've been assured by the U.S. Department of Justice that he is not a target in the investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The firm, Blackfords LLP, said U.S. authorities requested the help of the son of Queen Elizabeth II for the first time in January after having investigated Epstein for 16 years. He has offered three times to do so — contrary to the statements of U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, the firm said.
"Importantly, the DOJ advised us that the Duke is not and has never been a 'target' of their criminal investigations into Epstein and that they sought his confidential, voluntary co-operation,'' the attorneys said.
The firm issued the unusual statement after reports in Britain's Sun newspaper and on NBC that American authorities had formally requested that Andrew answer questions on the matter. He categorically denies wrongdoing and has repeatedly insisted that he was willing to cooperate with U.S. authorities.
Berman has instead said that Andrew has provided "zero cooperation" to the American investigators who want to interview him as part of their sex trafficking probe.
The contrasting views of what is going on behind the scenes came after The Sun newspaper reported that the DOJ submitted a mutual legal assistance request to Britain's Home Office. Such requests are used in criminal cases under a treaty and are generally used when material can't be obtained on a police cooperation basis.
As Blackfords insists Andrew is trying to cooperate, it pushed back Monday. It said it was a "matter of regret'' that the department would "breach its own rules of confidentiality, not least as they are designed to encourage witness cooperation.
"Far from our client acting above the law, as has been implied by press briefings in the US, he is being treated by a lower standard than might reasonably be expected for any other citizen,'' Blackfords said. "Further, those same breaches of confidentiality by the DOJ have given the global media – and, therefore, the worldwide audience – an entirely misleading account of our discussions with them.
Andrew has flatly denied he had sex with a teenager who says she was trafficked by Epstein. The woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, has said Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrew in 2001, when she was 17.
She said Epstein flew her around the world on private planes to have sex with powerful men, and that she had sexual encounters with Andrew in London, New York and in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Epstein killed himself in a U.S. jail last summer as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.

An End to the "Raging Bitch" Suit or the Beginning of New Challenges to State Censorship in Labeling – Liquor Commissioners Have Immunity From Some Damages
by Ashley Brandt · July 2, 2012
There was quite a hullabaloo back in 2009 when the Michigan Liquor Control Commission initially denied licensing approval to Flying Dog for Raging Bitch. For those of you that don't remember, the Commission denied Flying Dog's label application for Raging Bitch reasoning that the label was "detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public". On March 25, 2011, Flying Dog brought this suit against the Commission seeking an injunction to prevent the Commission from enforcing its ruling and claiming that the Commission's decision violated the First Amendment.
While the federal case was pending, the Commission revised its decision in light of the Supreme Court's 2011 ruling in Sorrell v. IMS, (applying a higher standard of scrutiny and striking down a state law regarding pharmacies' disclosure of doctor prescription statistics), and approved the Raging Bitch label for use in Michigan beer sales. The Commission also rescinded the rule under which they had denied the approval and did the same for similar rules regarding the labeling of wine and spirits. Because the Commission approved the use of the Raging Bitch label, Flying Dog withdrew its motion for an injunction, but the case remained because Flying Dog still sought claims for damages against commissioners in their individual capacities.
Well, the wait is over and the Court has decided that the individual commissioners have immunity from suit for their actions. Particularly, in this opinion from the Court, the Court determined that the Hearing Commissioners who didn't participate in any decision to deny the licensing approval to Flying Dog were off the hook. The Court also held that the liquor control commissioners that did participate were entitled to both quasi-judicial immunity and qualified immunity for their actions from Flying Dog's request for compensatory damages. Quasi-judicial immunity because they were acting, in part, in a judicial function when they held the hearings on the labeling appeal that Flying Dog made and qualified immunity because the First Amendment right was not "clearly established" when the commissioner's made their decision. The application of the quasi-judicial immunity is relatively novel, as the Court recognized in its opinion. But our readers may enjoy the less novel analysis and application of the qualified immunity doctrine in this Court's opinion since the discussion is about the protection of their commercial speech, especially regarding evocative labels:
"The Court is unaware of any Supreme Court or Sixth Circuit precedent addressing the issue of whether state officials violate an individual's clearly established right when they deny a license to sell alcohol based on the potential adverse effects on the "health, safety, or welfare of the general public" stemming from the name and label of the beverage—in this case, "Raging Bitch" beer. To find precedent sufficiently analogous to even arguably serve as the basis of a clearly established right, Plaintiff was forced to rely on the Second Circuit's decision in Bad Frog Brewery, Inc. v. New York State Liquor Authority, 134 F.3d 87 (2d Cir. 1998), which arose from the defendant, New York Liquor Authority ("Liquor Authority"), disapproving beer labels depicting "a frog with the second of its four unwebbed 'fingers' extended in a manner evocative of a well known human gesture of insult." Id. at 90. The Second Circuit concluded that the image of the frog was commercial speech, and the First Amendment Central Hudson framework applied. Id. Applying Central Hudson, the Second Circuit determined that the State had substantial interest in regulating the speech, but that the defendant did not show "that its denial of Bad Frog's application directly and materially advance[d] . . . its state interests" and that the prohibition was more extensive than necessary to advance the State's interests. Id. at 100–01. However, the Court concluded that qualified immunity barred Bad Frog's damages claims against the Authority's members in their individual capacity. Id. at 101.
Reliance on Bad Frog Brewery as clearly establish law prohibiting the Administrative Commissioner's decision in this case is unavailing. First, Bad Frog involved a constitutional challenge to the statute on its face. In this case, Plaintiff has abandoned its damages claim against the Commissioners based on this legal theory because the Rule at issue was repealed, and the Commissioners did not pass the Rule in the first instance. Consequently, the Court declines to base personal liability on a Rule that is no longer in effect and which Commissioners had no say in its passage. Second, as noted above, the Central Hudson framework is an inherently complex, factually dependent inquiry. Bad Frog involves a different statute, different facts, and a different procedural posture. The Liquor Authority provided different reasons for their denial of Bad Frog's license than the Commissioners in this case. There are simply too many distinctions between Bad Frog and this case to hold the Commissioners personally liable based on their failure to follow Bad Frog in their own decision-making process, particularly given that Bad Frog is non-binding Second Circuit precedent. Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate the Commissioners violated any "clearly established law," and qualified immunity therefore applies.
What this may mean is that in the future, a similar denial could possibly result in an award of damages for the brewer, distiller or vintner making the First Amendment challenge. And if Founder's experience in Alabama is any indication of a trend, there will be plenty of opportunities to test out this theory in the future.

Aims: Sunspot number series are composed from observations of hundreds of different observers that require careful normalization to standard conditions. Here we present a new normalized series of the number of sunspot groups for the period 1749–1996.
Methods: The reconstruction is based on the active day fraction (ADF) method, which is slightly updated with respect to previous works, and a revised database of sunspot group observations.
Results: Stability of some key solar observers has been evaluated against the composite series. The Royal Greenwich Observatory dataset appears relatively stable since the 1890s but is approximately 10% too low before that. A declining trend of 10–15% in the quality of Wolfer's observations is found between the 1880s and 1920s, suggesting that using him as the reference observer may lead to additional uncertainties. Wolf (small telescope) appears relatively stable between the 1860s and 1890s, without any obvious trend. The new reconstruction reflects the centennial variability of solar activity as evaluated using the singular spectrum analysis method. It depicts a highly significant feature of the modern grand maximum of solar activity in the second half of the 20th century, being a factor 1.33–1.77 higher than during the 18 and 19th centuries.
Conclusions: The new series of the sunspot group numbers with monthly and annual resolution is provided forming a basis for new studies of the solar variability and solar dynamo for the last 250 yr.

Super Bowl Ratings Drop To 8-Year Low
Katie Jerkovich Entertainment Reporter
February 05, 2018 2:24 PM ET
The ratings for Super Bowl LII Sunday night marked an 8-year low for the NFL's big game.
According to Deadline, the championship game saw the underdog Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots, 41-33. However, that matchup didn't equal a win for NBC or the National Football League. According to Nielsen, the NFL scored a 47.4/70 in metered market results. (RELATED: NFL Ratings Tank–Worst Viewership In Nearly Two Decades)
(Photo credit: Getty Images)
In a season where the ratings were down by nearly 10 percent overall from the previous year, the Super Bowl continued the same trend making it the lowest rated Super Bowl since 2010. That game earned a 46.4 rating in metered market results, scoring 106.4 million viewers with a 38.6 rating among adults ages 18-49.
Not only did the game suffer in the ratings department, but had only 103.4 million people watching, making it the least watched Super Bowl since 2009, when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23. That game had 98.7 million viewers.
In comparison, New England's 34-28 victory over the Atlanta Falcons last year saw 111.3 million people watching on Fox and a 37.1 rating in the key demographic.
