Time For A Name Change
By Derek Lowe 17 November, 2015
Well, this was just a matter of time, and that time has most certainly come. CNN is reporting that the longtime antisense-DNA company ISIS Pharmaceuticals is indeed thinking about changing its name, and who can blame them? This reminds me of the situation in the 1980s, when there was a company that had for years marketed a weight-loss product. It was a (supposedly) filling candy that you were supposed to eat before meals, to help you eat less as an aid to dieting, and the product was, in fact, called "Ayds". Same pronunciation. That kind of had to be rebranded, too, and to be honest, I don't know if the product (or the company) survived the experience. Update: turns out that they didn't. . .
So I have some sympathy for the company, since they didn't ask for this sort of trouble. As for the organization that's causing this rethink, I don't have adequate words. It occurred to me on Friday (and not for the first time) that almost everything I spend my time doing would be considered valueless at best, and various levels of forbidden at worst, by these people. For all its complications, I much prefer the 21st century to the seventh.

Some good people at Isis, I hope this doesn't cause too much turmoil.
Annon says:
I wonder if the name change will make it easier, or harder to recruit people…
Speaking of ISIS a riveting article by MI6 agent is appropriate here. His take, both ISIS?KSA are joined at the hips! Go read @

Morten G says:
They make antisense and their name is ISIS…
Though ISIL seems the favoured name on Al Jazeera and I heard Daesh was preferred in the Middle East (and hated by ISIS).
Anyway, they should rename it Mother Pharmaceuticals.
Isidore says:
A couple of decades ago I almost gave my daughter "Isis" as her middle name. In fact I wanted her first name to be Isis, but my wife objected because there was some silly TV show when she was growing up with a black cat named Isis. She finally agreed to Isis as a middle name, but eventually we opted for a family name instead. My daughter is pleased that my wish did not become reality.

A friend of mine named his daughter Isis right before the whole thing started appearing in the news. Boy is she going to hate him when she grows up…
Polynices says:
Not as disruptive as renaming a whole company, but a few years ago mobile phones came with "Isis Mobile Wallet" installed. The icon on screen even said ISIS in big letters. Oops. Now they're "Softcard".
Philip Ahern says:
The river that flows through Oxford, UK is the Isis, and the technology transfer partner for the University of Oxford is also named ISIS (http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/features/isis-name-problem)

A long-running cause of slight amusement when shopping here in Denmark has been the fact that ISIS is one of Denmark's leading makers of sugar free foods. So ISIS does less harm to diabetics. (Yes, Danish humor is black and morbid – this probably wouldn't pass muster in America).
The name simply is an abbreviation of 'Ice Cream Ltd' in Danish = IS IS
Anyway, they finally decided to come to terms with their name being scooped, so yesterday they announced a name change. Which is not that simple when you're a decent size company, but probably still worth the hassle…
(www.isis.dk
http://www.isisfoods.com)
Ice Cream Ltd.?
They always knew they'd be scooped eventually.
(Yes, I went there)
Ayds (pronounced as "aids") Reducing Plan Candy was an appetite-suppressant candy which enjoyed strong sales in the 1970s and early 1980s and was originally manufactured by The Campana Company. It was available in chocolate, chocolate mint, butterscotch, and caramel flavors, and later a peanut butter flavor was introduced. The original packaging used the phrase "Ayds Reducing Plan vitamin and mineral Candy;" a later version used the phrase "appetite suppressant candy." The active ingredient was originally benzocaine, presumably to reduce the sense of taste to reduce eating, later changed in the candy (as reported by The New York Times) to phenylpropanolamine.
Does this mean that "candy" is a magic FDA-repellant word like "supplement?" Spice of Life Candy, made with natural African tramadol: I'm gonna be rich.
Justa Retiree says:
I used to snitch my stepmother's Ayds from her hiding place under the counter at our our small town variety store. For a time, I thought they were her private stash of caramels. I wonder which active ingredient I got.
Veylon says:
The ISIS folks – much like their Al Qaeda forebears – love their technology. Look up any of their rallies, they're packed with people taking pictures with smart phones. Their fighters happily text message and tweet each other.
They're horrifically barbaric to be sure, but it's more of a Nazi kind of barbarity in which the fruits of science are openly used and embraced for the purposes of the movement. ISIS wants to rule your television, not make you bury it. Of course, this makes them all the more dangerous; they aren't content like the Taliban to simply sit up in the mountains somewhere.
Charlie Kilian says:
Oh man! I think we've stumbled on a way to do some real damage to the pseudoscience scams. Can we renamed chlamydia to "homeopathic" and syphilis to "detoxification"?
sillybear says:
On the adult cartoon "Archer" the name of the spy agency the characters work for is ISIS.
I think we should refer to the group in Iraq & Syria by any name the hate, so Daesh or Pigf*ckers or the Child Rapist Group.
NJBiologist says:
The agency was named ISIS–in Season 6, they became a part of the CIA and all traces of their former agency identity disappeared.
Creelhe says:
There is also a band from Boston who adopted the name ISIS back in the 90s… who began to suffer a barage of abuse from morons thinking it's actually the jihadists playing post-hardcore/sludge/progressive metal music, and not just a coincidence. It got to the point where their Facebook page was renamed "Isis the Band".
In the early days of ISIS (the pharma) I went to a lecture on antisense where the guy wrote the following on the blackboard:
As far as the name, ISIS was a greek goddess who fell in loved with her brother, Osiris, who was killed by another brother name Set. He cut Osiris into 14 pieces. ISIS was able to recover 13 pieces, but not the 14th (his penis), which had been eaten by a crab (I kid you not!). She therefore made him a penis out of clay and he used it to impregnate her. She then gave birth to their son, Horus.
So…. ISIS (pharma) should just change its name to Horus. They might want to leave out the part about the artificial penis, however.
Ph.Drink says:
According to the names of the ancient gods, I'd rather go for egyptian mythology. Anyway, in europe this organisation is mostly called "IS", because their main goal is not building an Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) anymore, but rather merge the whole middle east and northern africa into a huge Islamic State (IS) – Which isn't much of a comfortable thought to me..
I've caught Reuters articles referring to them as Islamic State, true enough.
Since they lose ground and increasingly resort to random terror tactics, however, I think this will be the final name for the pig-felchers.
Islamic Terror State is ITS, and I don't see the surviving members of Monty Python liking the false correlation, either.
Malory Archer says:
Plenty of other mythological gods to choose from. If they want to stick with the two-syllable, four-letter form, they can always change their name to Odin.
Anonymous8 says:
"She therefore made him a penis out of clay…"
Ask your doctor if Cialis is right for you.
@Ph.Drink – You're right, my bad. ISIS of course was an Egyptian goddess, have no idea why I wrote Greek in the post.
As Charlie Kilian hints at (above), if anyone knows a white supremacist/nazi leader looking for a name change, it would be fun to persuade them to take "Dr. Oz."
ISIS Pharma should sue ISIS jihadist group for trademark infringement. Just as (in)effective as air strikes…
Spoof says:
The Horus story above made me remember the discussions we had as my then (Italy-based) company had to change its name following a restructuring – out of the spoofs, "GenItalia" was thrown about for laughs, but had to be dropped as we discovered it was already taken (!) – a UK-based electrical power company previously called Powergen (now E.ON) had an Italian subsidiary called…Power GenItalia ! Other than clay…
Why not kill two birds with one stone, and go to "Alanturing Pharma?"
@Spoof:
According to whois.org, the domain GeneItalia.com is available! 🙂
@Anon – True story. Friends of ours have two daughters, an older one Talia and a younger one Jenna. They never realized what they did until we were leaving one evening and they called them to say goodbye. For whatever reason, their Mom reversed the usual order and called out "Jenna Talia"!
A friend of mine used to work for a company back in the 80's, Adaptive Data and Energy Systems… ADES… It wasn't long before they became just Adaptive Data. My friend's joke was holding out his hand and saying "Hi, I'm an engineer with ADES…"
ophir says:
Since we're talking about names- in the Australian media this weekend, a Vietnamese-Australian man is unhappy that facebook keeps cancelling his account for some reason, and he is very annoyed, is Mr. Phuc Dat Bich.
Ann O'Nymous says:
There was a time when IRA stood for Irish Republican Army, who committed all sorts of terrorist crimes, but Individual Retirement Accounts and people called Ira seemed to cope.
There are so many places where ISIS is used, you can't possibly change them all. Might be easier to call *them* something different, like what they do in France (Daesh, taking the middle-eastern naming) or the UK (ISIL). Why should they win and make Isis the goddess look bad, or the lovely river (and newspaper) in Oxford, etc etc?
Interestingly, there is a computer network routing protocol called IS-IS, and that is always referred to as eye-ess-eys-ess. I suppose it just means that computer engineers would rather be correct than poetic.
Swampyankee says:
I wonder if the journal Isis is considering a name change…
(http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/journals/journal/isis.html)
Although there are probably teapartiers who consider science and terrorism isomorphic.

In Teenage where growing body needs adequate food, there is a need to destroy extra calories. Make ordinary sports, exercise and balanced diet a part of life. Simple and regular exercise keeps the body light and flexible. It provides relief in the previous suffering of menstruation. Due to sports, education, walking, there is a great need of physical energy too. Especially for teenagers, the need for blood formation is greater. Therefore, fresh green vegetables and protein-rich substances should be used in the food. For this, egg, fish, fresh paneer, soya bean, whole grains and thick grains should be taken in plenty. It is important to drink at least 10 to 15 glasses of water daily in this age. By this, the body's dirt comes out by sweating and Teenage Skin becomes healthy and attractive.
As long as the girls are small, the mother carries her hair. All mothers have to do oiling, washing, peeling in the hair, but with growing age, teenagers like to take care of their hair. Hair washing is very bright by washing regularly. Often hair gets stuck in rainy season. In this season, hair should be washed twice or thrice in the week. If hair is sticky, the adolescent can make hair conditioner at home. Put a big spoon vinegar in a mug water and wash it with hair. This makes the hair soft and shiny. Hair is short or long, should never be hasty when combing. Do the comb comfortably with light hands. Gradually, the hair does not break down, and long comb or brushing increases the beauty of the hair. Always take care of one thing that the comb and brushed teeth are right, not crooked or broken. Small hair can leave open or can be cut in a style that is beautiful in the face. Making a peel of long hair is the best fit. From the peak where the hair breaks, the same hair becomes dense.
If the eyes of young immersed in spunky dreams are red or faded, then the entire personality becomes depressed. Waking up night and night in the preparation of exams and watching too much TV decreases the brightness of the eyes. So keep your routine routine and do not watch the TV till late in the night nor add a habit of reading till late night. During the study, take a break in between. If needed, read in the morning. Eyes are damaged due to lack of sleep. Look for green vegetables in the food for the glow of eyes. Carrot, tomatoes, papaya, banana, food are beneficial for the eyes. Keep raw potato or cucumber pieces on the eyes burning from pollution, this gives cool eyes to the eyes. Sprinkle cold water in the eyes during the day. It keeps the eyes fresh and does not get dirty.
In girls age girls are more interested in wearing new tops, knobs, earrings. For the beauty of the ears, it is not enough to decorate them with earrings or earrings only, their proper care is also necessary. Always keep the ear clean. Clean the bath after bathing with cotton. Do not insert hair pin or match husk in ear. As far as possible, wearing worn metal jewelry, wearing gold or silver tops or bundi, is at risk of getting infections.
In adolescence, where one is fond of looking beautiful, the same nail acne causes confusion. Generally teenagers and adolescents have this problem since the age of 13. At this time bitia needs some extra care. The best way to get rid of the whites is to wash face with regular fresh water. Also put some leaves of neem in water and keep it overnight, then washing it with water early in the morning is also very beneficial. The use of Skin Tonic made at home is very useful. Make minimal use of cosmetic.
Boys and girls become aware of the beauty of their feet while keeping their feet in their teens. If you want to increase your nails, keep the nails clean and keep it beautiful with a good filer. Put a little shampoo in lukewarm water for some hands and legs in order to keep hands and feet beautiful and soft. Then rubbing slowly with pumic stone, clean the scum and dead skin. This makes skin smooth and clean. Apply body lotion in hands and feet. Body lotion can be prepared at home. For this, add half cup glycerine in one cup of rose water, squeeze one lemon into it. This is a cheap and immense body lotion.
Due to sweating and scalding due to wearing skirts, shirts etc. in childhood often elbows and knees fall black. The skin becomes tight and black due to coughing on the knees and knees. Whenever the time comes, lemon peels rubbing them slowly at these places. After washing with clean water, apply a chopper lotion. This will make the knee and the elbows soft and their color will thicken. If you have clean knees and elbows, then every dress will look good on you.
Dress for any teenager is of great importance. For the body rising, open and comfortable dresses are suitable only. Wear light make-up, light ornaments on time. By wearing more flirtatious or tight dress, the teenager becomes the center of attraction unintentionally. Wearing a high heel makes the body foul and hip heavy, so as far as possible, avoid too high heel.

This 9-Year-Old's Twitter Account Is the Dog-Loving Adventure You Need in Your Life
stephanie topacio long jun 20, 2018
You're never too young to do something awesome.
Case in point? 9-year-old Gideon Kidd started a dog-focused Twitter account less than two years ago, and it already has nearly 100,000 followers.
Not all Twitter accounts are created equal, of course. Gideon's is special because it brings his followers along on his dog-petting adventures. Aptly called "I've Pet That Dog," it shows the adorable pets he regularly meets and also shares fun facts about them.
(via Susanne Nilsson/Flickr)
In the time Gideon has been running his Twitter account, he's accomplished some impressive feats. Aside from racking up tens of thousands of followers, he's petted more than 360 dogs, as he told the Des Moines Register in mid-June. Based on the photos he's posted, the pets come from tons of different breeds and have unique backstories.
I pet Gypsy. She is a 2 1/2 year old blue heeler. She was born on an Amish farm. She drank goat's milk and lived in the barn. She was being trained to chase always rats. Gypsy is protective of her caregiver. She even barks if her caregiver is kissed by her husband. pic.twitter.com/mxlg9qMYtI
— I've Pet That Dog (@IvePetThatDog) June 16, 2018
While each dog has been special, at least one so far is pretty high-profile. After getting attention for his dog-petting efforts, Gideon was invited to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, in June to pet the school's bulldog mascot, Griff.
The big meeting happened in front of a crowd of students, staff, reporters and even TV cameras, according to Des Moines Register.
I pet @DrakeUGriff. He is a 6 year old champion bulldog who is now the mascot for @DrakeUniversity. He is stubborn and likes attention. He has his own bed in the Admissions building. Griff's favorite thing is food. He was once caught on top of the buffet table at a public event. pic.twitter.com/YPGEcs8RgK
Gideon isn't the only one who deserves credit for "I've Pet That Dog," though. His mom, Rachel Braunigan, has been there helping him find dogs to pet. The two actively look for new furry friends, according to Des Moines Register. It sounds like a fantastic adventure for them—and we're glad to go along for the ride via Giddeon's tweets.
If you love dogs, too, click HERE to take a quiz that determines which breed suits you best.

KickassTorrents Admins/ Mods Seek Donations to Recreate the Site
Posted on August 24, 2016 by Damien
As you guys heard by now, the domain for KickassTorrents has been seized and its alleged owner has also been arrested.
KickAssTorrents the most visited site for pirated music, TV shows and almost everything else pirated online was taken down by authorities a few weeks ago.
This was after the torrent company's owner, ArtemVaulin was arrested in Poland.
Despite that several clones have sprung up since then to fill the void none seems to be a good fit as thousands of KickAssTorrents' users lament not having a reliable source of entertainment.
It seems however like Kat.ph is slowly filling the gap.
KickassTorrents' (KAT) admins and some of its members are said to be hard at work managing a funding campaign that attempts to bring back the parent site.
It is reported that KickassTorrents had a userbase 50 million strong. Despite their being numerous other torrent sites such as 1337x.to, Lime Torrent, IsoHunt.to, RARBG, Extra Torrent, EZTV.it and the Pirate Bay, many users still prefer KAT.
Shortly after KickassTorrents went offline, one of the world's largest torrent sites Torrentz immediately followed as the site bid farewell to its users. It was another surprising event to add to KAT's demise.
Though Torrentz is actually not a P2P site, it was a fast, free, and powerful meta-search engine sought after by millions of users.
This ended the reign of another prominent player in the BitTorrent world, causing many to lose hope and trust in the torrent community.
KAT admins are working to rebuild this trust in line with their efforts to rise again.
With two major players out of the picture, the torrent world is significantly impacted, and clones have quickly sprouted.
Malicious KAT mirror sites have sprouted all over the internet to try and take advantage of BitTorrent users, underscoring the need for the already existing KAT forum.
KickassTorrents Restoration Efforts
The Return of KickAss Torrents? Donations to Bring Back Kat.ph
The new forum has welcomed back thousands of KickassTorrents followers in such a short time.
Currently, admins and mods are seeking donations and further explain to the KAT community the need for funding.
A detailed blog post by Johnno23 states how the new KAT site is costing money, running on money a few individuals have managed to put up for the sake of the KickassTorrents community's survival.
They are faced with the challenge of how they can keep the P2P site alive.
The campaign has been rolled out to recreate the original KickassTorrents website, and the admin has expressed that they are open to donations via PayPal.
As listed in the fundraising drive, the estimated cost to revive KAT is $7,000 which is broken down into the development cost it would take to rebuild the authentic site code, multiple types of server costs, and required amount for maintenance during upcoming months.
Mr. Gooner, one of the site's top admins, assures the community that KickassTorrents will gain back its former glory.
However, it all greatly depends on pending legal action as well as rulings in regards to torrent legality in the US.
That said, full restoration of the old KickassTorrents site with the original database as a peer-to-peer file sharing torrent site with download and upload functionality appears to be envisioned as a long-term goal.
For this to happen, it's got to be coded by new people, which definitely would take serious time and money.

Q: Cloning/Fetching from Git repositories with broken HEAD I have been tasked with replicating Git repositories from many Git servers in the company as a secondary backup (belt and suspenders, you know).  But what I have found is that there are hundreds of repositories out there where HEAD points to a nonexistent place.  For example:
$ git clone --bare somehost:/some/path/to/broken.git
Cloning into bare repository 'broken.git'...
remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 3 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Checking connectivity... done
$ cd broken.git
$ git fetch
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD

One case where this occurs is if the remote repository is entirely empty.  I added code to detect that situation and avoid cloning those, but there are still hundreds left (that is, there are actual commits in those repositories but HEAD does not point to a valid location).
If I had control over the remote servers (which I rarely do), how can this be repaired?  Should I just change HEAD to contain a reference to any valid head that I see under refs/heads?
Now, assuming that repair is out of the question, how can I mitigate?  As far as I can see I have these options:

*

*Detect remote repositories with broken HEADs and skip them.

*When running "git fetch", ignore any errors like the one above.

*Find some combination of flags which will avoid this problem

*Leave it as-is, and attempt to force the remote teams to fix their repositories (political solution)

It seems that the potential issue with either 1 or 2 is that I may miss repositories or changes to repositories which actually contain meaningful changes.
FYI: I am running git 1.8.4, and the remote end varies, though the current case in point is 1.7.1.

A: If you have access to the remote repository you should check .git/HEAD
I would also run
git-show-ref --heads

to see if they are empty. It might work to edit .git/HEAD and set it to some existing ref or commit.
Anyway, for the sake of avoiding having to deal with same problem in the future over and over again, I would go for option 4 and try to ask the remote team for help for cloning their repository. They should also be able to advise you which which ref should go into HEAD.

Amidst all the huff and puff of the very first day/night cricket Test a band of kiwi ladies did their nation proud against one of the best football teams in the world. For any kiwi football team to beat their Brazilian counterparts is quite some feat given the football is possibly the first thing you think of when Brazil is mentioned. So imagine going into Brazil's backyard and sneaking away with a 1-0 win?
The Football Ferns, led by that strike from veteran Amber Hearn - who scored her 46th goal in 10 games for the Ferns - did the business in their first of two games against Brazil who have the famed Marta in their ranks. This follows a World Cup campaign a few months ago in which the Ferns toiled hard but weren't quite rewarded for their efforts despite their promise being clearly evident. That World Cup showed me that there is the potential in the Ferns to work their way up world football's ranks and kick it with the best in the business on a regular basis, which has come to some sort of fruition with this result.
Warm weather and a Brazilian team who put the Ferns under pressure both with and without the ball provided the Ferns with challenges, to which they responded as best they could. It's always important to celebrate victories like this as we rarely get to see our kiwi footballers take the same field as Brazil, let alone hand them a loss on home soil. With another game on Wednesday though we have been gifted the perfect opportunity to see where the Ferns are really at as Brazil now know what the Ferns can do. A one-off win is nice, but it would be so much better if the Ferns can either win or draw the second game and reintroduce themselves to the footballin' world.
🇳🇿 1-0 🇧🇷 first game down and a win in the bank 👊🏼 bigger and better for the next game!
Hydration race with Brazillian Coconuts!
For two weekends in a row we have had live boxing beamed into our living rooms which is almost as awesome as Mr Tyson Fury. I don't whole-heartedly believe that Fury is awesome - this is the guy who was last seen in the Niche Cache's pages for pretending to be Batman, yet his upset win of Vladimir Klitschko however was very awesome.
While we weren't graced with clinical punching and boundless entertainment as Fury and Klitschko spent a lot of this fight hugging each other in close quarters, the excitement levels shot through the roof as Fury began to emerge as the more threatening boxer. Fury landed a few heavy blows, cutting Klitschko and essentially doing what Holly Holm did to Ronda Rousey a few weeks ago as you could see the shock on Klitschko's face.
For all the shenanigans, Fury beat Klitschko fair and square as Klitschko was unable to let his hands go once he started to fall behind in the fight. Klitschko does however win the 'Kiwi Award' for the manner in which he conducted himself after the loss, just like a true kiwi, so good on ya Vlad.
The kiwi vibes don't stop with the 'Kiwi Award' though as our own Joseph Parker must surely have one eye on Fury, one eye on Klitschko and his third eye on Deontay Wilder. Now, first things first and we have a probable rematch between Fury and Klitschko, which was apparently in the contract for this fight. And then I'll remind myself that Parker is very much on the slow-burn setting as we haven't even seen him step outside his comfort zone and take on an opponent who is in the mix for a title shot, let alone sniffing around for a title shot himself.
However, after watching Parker's fights, everyone should know that a title shot is a definite possibility should he continue on this path. Parker looks a step above everyone thanks to lighting fast hands and David Tua-like power; it's glaringly obvious that Parker is really good at boxing. And after watching this fight yesterday, I don't think it's too outlandish to think that Parker can compete at that level. Fury for example is a huge dude/gypsy who can land a good shot but I couldn't ignore how slow and cumbersome he also looked.
The truth is, while I enjoyed Fury vs Klitschko for what it was, I kept Parker at the back of my mind. As I said, Parker's growth is slow and steady which is evident in the next two fights he has lined up against relative battlers who shouldn't offer him too much trouble. Parker won't be in the mix for a title shot in the next two years as he walks the fine line of deserving better fights and not getting better fights because people are scared of him.
Yesterday's fight did reinforce my view that there is room at the top of heavyweight boxing for Parker, which is excessively exciting. I said it before and I'll say it again that Parker could surpass David Tua as our boxer (within the realms of my memory) to put Aotearoa boxing on the map.
If you have no interest in Parker then just enjoy the fact that we have seen two champions in Klitschko and Rousey lose their spot on the thrones. Nothing lasts forever, nor are there any certainties in sport.


I was hoping that the new instances were transparent at the API level but apparently it's not so. I added a torus and created two node instances from it and Reality does not see those. Can anybody outline what is the suggested API workflow when dealing with instances?


When it comes to co-ownership arrangements, not all properties are created equal.

Legal Issues Related To The Reform Of China's Foreign Exchange System-A Financial Globalization Perspective
Posted on:2010-02-27 Degree:Doctor Type:Dissertation
Country:China Candidate:R Guan Full Text:PDF
Given the advanced development of financial globalization, all nations worldwide are increasingly interconnected both economically and financially. However, it's also increasingly evident that the financial globalization is a"double-edged sward". Since the advent of the 21st century, the global imbalance has gradually worsened. Notably, the global financial crisis triggered by the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the U.S. in 2007 is evolving into a deeper crisis. Against this background, the reform of China's foreign exchange system is facing a unprecedented challenge. On one hand, with the emergence and spread of all kinds of protectionist policies and opinions in major western developed countries, the discussion and allegation surrounding the international legality of China's foreign exchange system impose great international pressure on our nation. On the other hand, given the lack of effective restraint the current international monetary system has on issuing countries of reserve currencies, these issuing countries excessively issue currencies in order to spur their domestic economic growth, which makes management and safeguard of the national foreign currency reserves a new topic for foreign exchange system reform among many emerging market countries.This article mainly explores the international legality of our nation's foreign exchange system and the reform thereof so as to objectively evaluation the conformity level of major aspects of our nation's foreign exchange system with international rules. The author also proposes his suggestions on the major aspects of our nation's foreign exchange reform and creation of external legal framework against the background of financial globalization and international financial crisis from the perspective of relevant international laws (including the trend of law-making for international laws currently under drafting). This article consists of 240,000 words in total and the following chapters:Chapter One discusses the legislative driving force behind China's reform on its foreign exchange system in the financial globalization. Section I analyzes the forms of financial globalization and its connections with international financial crisis. It's pointed out that the current international financial crisis we face is actually a byproduct of the financial globalization and there is certain causation between the two. Section II analyzes the impact and influence on the rights of all nations to regulate foreign exchange, the sovereignty over foreign exchange rate, and other aspects of the currency sovereignty. Building on this analysis, the author submits that to increase the independence of our nation's foreign exchange policy and maintain our country's currency sovereignty in the financial globalization are the internal legislative driving force behind deepening our country's foreign exchange reform. Section III first reviews the progress of market-oriented reform of our country's foreign exchange system since 1990's and briefly summarizes the main pressures of international laws our country's foreign exchange system felt in recently years. It concludes that our country's foreign exchange system faces the duel challenges of IMF rules (especially the rules on currency manipulation, open-up capital items, and sovereign wealth fund) and WTO rules (especially the anti-subsidy rules) on the plane of international law. It then proposes that the international law pressure on all aspects of foreign exchange system constitutes the external legislative driving force behind the reform of our country's foreign exchange system.Chapter Two explores the jurisdiction over international disputes on currency exchange rates. There is great controversy among domestic and foreign scholars over which international organization or organizations have competent jurisdiction over disputes on Renminbi exchange rates. Therefore, it's necessary to specifically discuss the jurisdiction over international disputes on currency exchange rates under international laws before the exploration on merit issues. Section I demonstrates IMF's jurisdiction over international disputes on currency exchange rates from the perspective of member nations'substantive and procedural obligations on exchange rates within the IMF framework. The author further pointed out the limitations of IMF as the venue for resolving international disputes on currency exchange rates. Section II first comments on the different views held by domestic scholars regarding whether WTO has jurisdiction over international disputes on currency exchange rates. It further lays out the Renminbi exchange rate's potential effect on trade by analyzing the general jurisdiction of WTO's dispute resolution mechanism and Article 15 of GATT. It is concluded that WTO's dispute settlement body may interpret Renminbi's exchange rate mechanism as"trade-related foreign exchange measures"and so exercise its jurisdiction over disputes on Renminbi exchange rate. Section III discusses the division of competencies and collaboration on jurisdiction over disputes on exchange rates and explores our country's defense theory in a WTO dispute related to Renminbi.Chapter Three explores the legal issues on Renminbi exchange rate's formation mechanism within the WTO framework. Among the many international law allegations against Renminbi exchange rate mechanism from a WTO rules perspective, the most controversial is the"foreign exchange subsidy issue."Therefore, Section I responds to this issue and concludes that the claim that Renminbi exchange rate constitutes prohibited subsidies is not persuasive after exploring the tests of prohibited subsidies under the SCM treaty and the practice of WTO dispute resolution. In addition to the prohibited subsidies, western countries try to demonstrate the illegality of China's foreign exchange mechanism under WTO from the perspectives of most favor nation treatment, national treatment, quantity control, non-violation complaints or other aspects. Section II analyzes each of these major claims and concludes that all these claims fail to justify themselves. Section III, by applying the WTO rules, analyzes the illegality under WTO framework of unilateral trade restriction western countries intend to impose against Renminbi exchange rate. It's further pointed out that once China encounters trade restriction measures adopted by certain countries against Renminbi exchange rate, China can contemplate to make a claim against the relevant WTO member nations to defend our country's legitimate rights in the WTO system.Chapter Four discusses the legal issues for Renminbi exchange rate's formation mechanism under the IMF framework. Section I firstly reviews the evolution of the mechanism of surveillance over exchange rate policies and makes comments on this from a legal point of view. It then mainly discusses the legal defects of IMF's 2007 new decisions on surveillance over exchange rate policies after analyzing the background of the decisions'promulgation and the major revisions on the original decisions on surveillance over exchange rate policies. Section II first clarifies the tests for"currency manipulation"prohibited by IMF (i.e. the special currency manipulation) and distinguishes between the tests for currency manipulation and the measurement index for exchange rate. It concludes that the key in determining whether the Renminbi exchange rate mechanism constitutes currency manipulation resides not in whether Renminbi is under evaluated or has fundamental misalignment but instead in whether there exist intents prohibited by IMF in our country's formulation of its exchange rate policies. After studying the macro economic background based on which our country formulated the exchange rate policies since 1990's, it concludes that our country has fairly adequate argument to prove that our exchange rate policies do not constitute currency manipulation prohibited by IMF agreement. Section II further elaborates on the differences and connections between the violation of IMF's exchange rate guiding principles and the violation of IMF's legal obligations. It then proposes that the possibility that IMF deems our country as violating IMF's legal obligations is very small if we can strengthen the dialogue and consultation with IMF, given IMF's shift of focus from global imbalance to global financial crisis. Section III, building on the foregoing elaboration on IMF's mechanism of surveillance over exchange rate policies, proposes the short-term and long-term goals for Renminbi's exchange rate mechanism from the perspective of global financial crisis. It's concluded that in the current economic situation, Renminbi's exchange rate mechanism should be stable at its core without appreciation of depreciation by a large margin.Chapter Five discusses the legal issues on the open-up of capital items. Section I analyzes the international obligations for the open-up of capital items within the IMF and WTO legal frameworks respectively. It concludes that the progress of our country's open-up of capital items does not violate international obligations after studying the status quo of our country's open-up of capital items and financial industry and further proposes some suggestions on the steps for China's to open up of capital items and the improvement of relevant systems in the global financial crisis. Section II introduces the major legal experiments in the progress of our country's open-up of capital items in recent years, with focus on such milestones in our country's open-up of capital items as the qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) system and the qualified domestic institutional investor (QDII) system. It also makes legal comments on the experiment of"Hong Kong Shares Express"and recent amendments to Foreign Exchange Regulations. After that, it proposes suggestions on how to improve the regulations of capital items.Chapter Six discusses the international legal issues for sovereign wealth funds. Section I surveys the reforms of the management of foreign exchange reserve by recent emerging market countries and petroleum exporting countries and the evolution history of sovereign wealth funds. It analyzes the definition and classification of sovereign wealth funds by applying relevant international rules and mainstream academic views. It then clarifies the development of Chinese sovereign wealth funds and its importance for our country's foreign exchange system reform. It then points out the risks faced by our country's sovereign wealth funds. Section II explores the international rules bearing on sovereign wealth funds. Due to the integrated idiosyncrasies of international laws'application to sovereign wealth funds, the international laws on sovereign wealth funds are extremely complex. With respect to multilateral rules, this section mainly introduces the major controversies in the international community on the law-making venue and substance of international laws for sovereign wealth funds. It then introduces the thrust of relevant multilateral rules or legislative proposals with respect to the codes of conduct for sovereign wealth funds and the receiving countries. Regarding unilateral legislations, this section introduces the legislations by the U.S and European Union related to sovereign wealth funds. Based on these results and dynamics of legislations, this article proposes relevant suggestions for China to respond to the international rules on sovereign wealth funds and the strategies for China's participation in the drafting of international laws in view of the impact of the international financial crisis on the international law-making for sovereign wealth funds. Section III mainly surveys the codes of conduct of sovereign wealth funds and the latest relevant international laws. Based on such codes of conduct, this section then proposes the legal actions in developing our countries'sovereign wealth funds.Chapter Seven discusses the financial globalization and the external environment of our country's reform on its foreign exchange system. A major part of the international law pressure encountered by our country's reform on its foreign exchange system is rooted in the unreasonable international monetary order. In addition, in the face of international financial crisis, the reform of international monetary system has become an inevitable trend. In order to better exercise our country's currency sovereignty and independently reform our foreign exchange system, our country should actively participate in and push forward the reform of the international monetary system so as to create an amicable international environment for our reform on foreign exchange system in the long term. Section I summarizes the main legal defects in the current international monetary system, especially the shortcomings of the current international monetary system and its inherent connection with the international financial crisis, after a review of the evolutionary history of the international monetary system and the legal framework of the current international monetary system. Section II points out that the international financial crisis has provided a good opportunity to reform the current unreasonable international monetary system. It also proposes suggestions relevant to this reform from the perspectives of basic principles, the institutional governance, the pluralism of international monetary system, and so on and anticipates that this reform can bring an amicable international environment for our reform on foreign exchange system.

(CNN) -- No drawn butter will ever touch Fiona's tail. She's an extremely rare, seven-year-old "yellow" lobster.
Fiona's colorful hue makes her a one-in-30 million rarity.
Fiona belongs to Nathan Nickerson, the owner of Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham, Massachusetts, who has been in the restaurant business for 32 years.
The special lobster was caught off the coast of eastern Canada last week by a friend of Nickerson.
"In 57 years in Cape Cod, I have never seen a yellow lobster and I doubt that I will ever see one again," he said Thursday.
Experts say Fiona's colorful appearance makes her one in 30 million.
Fiona's not really yellow, but more of a bright orange, She's not quite the red color your typical lobster looks after it's been cooked.
Nickerson has plans for his new ocean-dwelling friend, but it has nothing to do with the boiling pot. He said he'll keep the 1.75-pound crustacean in a viewing tank at his restaurant, hoping to draw in a few extra customers.
CNN's Samuel Gardner contributed to this story.


Using a combination of face to face, videoconference and social media, the one day forum links 17 satellite hubs across rural NSW bringing together a mix of cross sector disciplines at each site for a day of interdisciplinary networking between Local Health Districts (LHDs), NSW Ambulance, Residential Aged Care Facilities, Medicare Locals, General Practice and Consumers.
The RICH Forum requires the same organization as a conventional Conference; a keynote speaker, call for abstracts and concurrent presentations.
Site Co-ordinators are identified at each site to drive local engagement, and test runs are scheduled to provide build capacity and confidence in using the technology.
An Information Toolkit is distributed to sites containing attendance sheets, help desk numbers, contact details for all sites, consent forms to share presentations and the evaluation.
The day is facilitated so that the program runs to time and participants have opportunity to ask questions in a supported manner, optimizing interaction across NSW and allowing clinicians to 'pop in' for sessions of relevance without having to be absent from the workplace for the whole day. The event is cost neutral, using the NSW Health Bridge to link sites in a multipoint link-up; registration is free.
Sites participating in the 2014 forum included: Bega, Cooma, Queanbeyan, Dubbo, Orange, Broken Hill, Balranald, Tamworth, Inverell, Tweed, Lismore, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Macksville, Griffith, Wagga Wagga and the ACI office in Chatswood.
Paper based evaluation distributed and collected on the day by site co-ordinators and forwarded to ACI for collation.
Projects presented are forwarded to ACI Innovation Exchange as a one-stop-shop to share lessons learned across the state.


Monero (XMR) has ended up being the target for hackers over the past couple of days. Lately, BCFocus reported about a vulnerability in the Monero purse that allowed cyberpunks to loot XMR from crypto exchanges. This moment, it is claimed that over 200,000 routers have actually been hacked making use of a malware in Brazil to covertly mine Monero (XMR).
The on-line cyberpunks are claimed to have targeted a certain brand of routers, called MicroTik. Simon Kenin, a scientist from TrustWave, discovered the secretive strike as well as was the first to report it.
Though the malware doesn't hack right into purses and steal from crypto investors, it is claimed to substantially affect the computer power of a system, and removes a great deal of electrical energy. The malware secretively mines crypto from a computer without the customer having the faintest clue about it.
The malware discreetly ran the coinhive script (popularly used to extract Monero) in the background while the customer kept working with their system. Likewise, a report from Forbes said that a small integrated circuit made use of within the routers aided the cyberpunks in extracting the coins.

WOMEN IN FOOTBALL: THE GLASS CEILING
Women have a voice in this sport and now is the time to know their experiences.
Women's Football Leagues & UCL
The 10 Superstars To Look Up For At The Women's World Cup
Lario's Blog 6th Jun 2019 6th Jun 2019 football, Sports
Just one day to go! Women's World Cup is almost here!
The biggest feast of women's football begins this Friday in Paris with the presence of 24 teams, who will fight for the acclaimed trophy of champions of the world. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, United States, England, Spain…
All fighting to be the number one of the world, but, who will lift the trophy at the end?
Before the event of the year starts, we've decided to offer you a list of the 10 super players you should be following this upcoming World Cup. Have a look!
1. Lindsey Horan (United States)
Clearly, Lindsey Horan has become the recipient of the legacy that Amy Wambach, Hope Solo, and Megan Rapinoe built to make the USA team the most powerful team in the world nowadays. Now, the 25-year-old midfielder, who plays for the Portland Thorns and was chosen as the best in the USA league in 2018, hopes to show her full potential in France 2019. We have an eye on you, Lindsey!
2. Thembi Kgatlana (South Africa)
Next on the list is Kgatlana. Who's this you'll be asking? A hidden gem, my friend.
To start, she scored a magnificent volley against Nigeria, which was later on chosen as the best goal of 2018. But, it was her performances with the national team, among which the achievement of qualifying for the first time at a World Cup, which made her worthy of the award for the best African footballer the previous year. And she's only 23 years old!
3. Christiane Endler (Chile)
The Chilean goalkeeper Christiane Endler has become a benchmark in her country's football and in PSG, where she plays (Neymar, you should learn my friend). Classified for the first time at a World Cup, the "Girls in Red" will go under the leadership of Endler, an unstoppable goalkeeper, in search of historical performance in the worldwide tournament.
4. Mana Iwabuchi (Japan)
In 2011, Japan surprised the footballing world when it won the Women's World Cup in Germany. One of the architects of that beautiful team was Mana Iwabuchi. The INAC Kobe Leonessa star was a silver medal in the Olympic Games of London 2012 and runner-up in the last World Championship that took place in Canada. Now, we know what she wants is to take the title back home where it once belonged. Good luck, Iwabuchi!
5. Nikita Parris (England)
If a team can aspire to give the surprise blow this World Cup, that nation is non-other than England. And it's partly thanks to Nikita Parris, the brilliant former Man City striker. The now Olympique de Lyon star has become a sample of the work currently being done in the English women's Super League, where the "citizens" dominated the landscape in 2016 when they won the three main local titles. Clearly, this player is going to be "a one to watch", so keep your eyes open!
6. Wendie Renard (France)
French Wendie Renard is considered, at 28, the best defender of the planet (Van Dijk, I'm sorry, but you're out of the competition). As Olympique Lyonnais' captain, she has just lifted the Women's Champions League, which was held in Budapest, and now, she aims to lift the World Cup in her country on July 7. Her impressive figure and great defensive capacity have made her a role model in women's football.
7. Almuth Schult (Germany)
In number 7, we have the German Almuth Schult, who has been considered by many as the best goalkeeper in the world. Her team, which has won the European title eight times, hopes that France will be the chance to become the second team to win three World Cups, behind the almighty USA.
8. Daniëlle van de Donk (Holland)
NEXT! Dutch midfielder Daniëlle van de Donk is by far one of the great exponents of Dutch football. Currently, at Arsenal in the English Women's Super League, she has been the leader of the North London team, where she has achieved important titles, such as the league title they won this year. The Dutch player hopes that she can transfer that capacity that she brings to the national team, and see if at least they can reach the final of the world tournament for their first time in history.
9. Asisat Oshoala (Nigeria)
Currently, at FC Barcelona, the Nigerian Asisat Oshoala is one of the leading exponents of African football. So, the Nigerian national team hopes Oshoala leads her country to the semifinals of the tournament, where an African team has never arrived. Will she make the impossible?
10. And the last one is…
The Brazilian Marta Vieira da Silva, or also known simply as "Marta", is a legend of women's football. The world-record scorer of the World Cups, with 15 goals scored, hopes that in France she's able to give her best shot and lift once for all the Women's World Cup, the only title that Brazil and she haven't obtained yet. Will she get it this year? We'll just have to wait for it and see.

Japanese Biopharmaceutical
Indices for research assessment
Therapeutic Antibodies
The purpose of this research was to explore major barriers and issues in knowledge for biopharmaceutical research and development (R&D) in Japan and discuss why Japan had lagged behind Western nations in the field of biopharmaceutical R&D.
Cases of three therapeutic antibodies and one therapeutic protein originating and released in Japan were studied and the Web of Science Core Collection was used to analyze biopharmaceutical drugs of Japan and the US with various indexes. Analysis results suggested that establishment of a high-level clinical research network connected with global networks would lead to development of blockbusters. Many of Japanese pharmaceutical companies failed to establish such clinical research network and this is presumably one reason of the gap between Japan and Western nations.
On the other hand, acquisition and exchange of knowledge within and between organizations were also explored. The few successful Japanese companies acquired not only formal knowledge but also implicit knowledge for various R&D phases from basic researches to applied researches from top pharmaceutical companies of Western nations, whereas most Japanese companies have not successfully acquired such knowledge. It was assumed that this has also contributed to the gap from Western counterparts.

On this day in 1938 Otto Hahn discovered the nuclear fission, the process by which the nucleus of an atom is broken apart to produce enormous amounts of energy. In 1944 The Nation published an article by the Canadian chemist Orlando Aloysius Battista, "Atoms at Work," explaining some of the fascinating new developments in the field of nuclear physics. Hahn became an outspoken opponent of the use of nuclear fission for the purpose of creating catastrophically deadly weapons.
During the past decade or two scientists have literally exploded the atom and in so doing have brought to light many phenomenal universes never dreamed of before. By a rather simple calculation, if you know how to make it, it can be shown that the air which occupies the finger space in a thimble contains at least thirty billion molecules. If all the clocks in the world were kept wound up, it would take them a hundred centuries or more to tick out the number of atoms in a single drop of rain water. If you were able to count the atoms on the surface of a speck of dust which could be seen only under a microscope, you would find they numbered millions. So when we talk about atoms we are talking about infinitesimally small particles of matter, particles so small that man will never be able to see them no matter how powerful he may build his microscopes.
The atom also offers us unlimited stores of energy. Physicists have authoritatively proclaimed that there is enough useful energy locked up in a jug of water to furnish more than a billion kilowatt-hours of electric power. The extraction of energy from the atom has up to now been accomplished only in a very small way. The difficulties to be overcome in this field of atomic utility are far more obstinate than those encountered in adapting radioactive substances for use in medicine, biochemistry, or genetics. Nevertheless, there is definite promise that some day it will be possible to extract and control atomic energy. Thus the remarkable work of atomic scientists is benefiting mankind in a thousand ways, and the inspiring fact is that this work has only begun.

A millennia-old spring, a visionary and an internationally renowned personality.
Discover over 150 years of Vittel® history.
69 AD
The Vittel® spring has been around a long time: there was already a Gallo-Roman spa town on the site by this point. It seems it was named after its owner, a Roman general called Vitellius who used it to treat his gout.
Lawyer Louis Bouloumié was taking the waters nearby when he was told about the Vittel® spring. Noticing how the water improved his digestive problems, he decided to buy the meadow containing the Grande Source spring known as the Fontaine de Gérémoy.
Having been permitted to use the spring, Louis Bouloumié created the Vittel spa. At first, the Grande Source spring, public baths and showers were housed in a simple wooden cabin. From 1857, the healing water was bottled in square stoneware bottles with porcelain stoppers.
Spa waters were at the height of their popularity. Louis Bouloumié's simple spa was expanded, a hotel was built and a park was put in. It quickly became famous in France and abroad thanks to the contributions of many famous doctors, architects and artists.
Louis Bouloumié handed over the reins to his sons: military doctor Pierre who improved hydrotherapy practices, and Ambroise, a lawyer like his father, who later became Mayor of Vittel. Together, they developed the spa resort.
The "Société Générale des Eaux Minérales de Vittel®" (SGEMV) mineral water company was founded. A year before, the Longes-Vittel-Nancy railway line had opened, facilitating access to Vittel and allowing more people to take the waters. Famous architect Charles Garnier was responsible for updating the resort by renovating the arcades and building new thermal baths, the Grand Hotel, the Casino and concert halls.
Pierre Bouloumié came up with the idea of increasing Vittel® Grande Source Mineral Water sales by putting the healing water into glass bottles so people could carry on taking it at home. In June 1898, celebrations were held to mark the first million bottles. Vittel® Grande Source Mineral Water was famous as a treatment for arthritis.
Vittel® Grande Source Mineral Water was officially recognised as being "of public interest" by the French Academy of Medicine. The spa resort's reputation was now international. An industrial packaging unit meant over three million Grande Source bottles and demijohns were produced.
Ambroise's son Jean, a doctor by profession, took over from his father. With sales of Vittel® Natural Mineral Water continuing to increase, he had a modern bottling factory built and attached to the railway station. Vittel® was then sold as water to drink daily, rather than simply a way to extend treatment outside the resort.
Following a request from Air France, Vittel® designed a plastic bottle for passenger in-flight meals. Plastic bottles replaced glass bottles and moved from pharmacy shelves into supermarkets.
To meet growing international demand, a second spring was identified in a deeper aquifer in the heart of Vittel's hydromineral basin. This was Vittel® Bonne Source water, which was recognised as natural mineral water in 1990 and authorised to be bottled for export in 1991.
Bottles no longer contained PVC: it was replaced with PET. This revolutionary plastic is 100% recyclable, tougher and more transparent.
Vittel® launched a new 75cl bottle with a revolutionary sports cap. Hikers and sports enthusiasts took to it straight away.
The thermal baths were sold to the Partouche Group, then bought by the Town of Vittel in 2008.
Vittel® partnered with the Tour de France: the third-biggest sporting event in the world. One value shared by both the natural mineral water brand and the Tour is togetherness, with the former handing out almost a million bottles at the event each year. Vittel® also partners with the Paris Half Marathon and Marathon.
Vittel® & Organic Infused Fruits were launched: a simple recipe inspired by all things homemade and yet the only one of its kind, combining Vittel® Natural Mineral Water with cold-infused organic whole fruit for an intense, natural fruit flavour. Plus, it's organic and low in calories!
Vittel® Up was launched: a fresh range that combines Vittel® Natural Mineral Water with natural fruit flavourings so you can quench your thirst any time on a low-sugar organic drink with a little fruity touch!
Vittel® bottles
through the ages...
Protecting the land means quality water: we're all in this together!
