Classical 'Grass
Yo-Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor, and Edgar Meyer search for common ground between the worlds of classical music and bluegrass
Replay, December 1996
"Edgar, how was that for you?"
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, seated on a small wooden platform between bassist Edgar Meyer and violinist Mark O'Connor, is inquiring about their just-completed run-through of "The Green Groves of Erin/The Flowers of Red Hill," a pair of Celtic reels adapted for string trio that they've been rehearsing on the stage of Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center. Later that evening, they'll premiere the piece – the introductory track from their recent album, Appalachia Waltz – during the encore of Ma's performance with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. But just now, the trio is out of sync and struggling to nail the ending. Spoken softly, Ma's question sounds almost like a plea.
Meyer, though, knows a straight line when he hears one, and he breaks the tension of the moment by cracking, "Well, there are some things, like music and sex, that are always just fine."
"Just fine" may be the mildest of superlatives that can be applied to this extraordinary and eclectic group of musicians. Ma, of course, is one of the most respected and sought-after classical performers on the planet. He gave his first recital at age five and, in the 36 years since, has conquered the standard repertoire for solo cello, winning 10 Grammy Awards along the way. Not content to merely revisit those victories for the rest of his career, Ma has continually sought out new challenges, commissioning works by contemporary composers and occasionally stepping outside the traditional boundaries of classical music. He has collaborated with vocalist Bobby McFerrin on the bestselling classical/jazz summit Hush and traveled to Southwest Africa, where he compared musical styles and structures with Kalahari bushmen. For Ma, approaching the country-fiddle stylings of Appalachia Waltz is the latest step in his continuing search to understand different cultures and build bridges between them. "It's really that simple," he says.
O'Connor's musical journey is in many ways similar to Ma's, but from a completely different musical direction. A child prodigy, O'Connor swept every major fiddle championship in America before he had finished high school. He toured with mandolinist David Grisman and French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli, and grew into one of the most in-demand session musicians in Nashville. On his own recordings, such as The New Nashville Cats and Heroes, O'Connor challenged and eventually broke free from the constraints of country and bluegrass music. He then crossed over into the classical realm with his album The Fiddle Concerto. You can't take all the country out of the boy, though. He still is a master of the mandolin and guitar, and he rides a mean skateboard, too.
Meyer is the trio's self-confessed "late bloomer," but also its secret weapon. A composer/arranger as well as an instrumentalist, he has worked with groups from across the musical spectrum, including various symphony orchestras, the Guarneri Quartet, and Strength in Numbers, a progressive bluegrass band that included O'Connor and Bela Flack, among others. Meyer also has done session work for such artists as Kathy Mattea, James Taylor, Garth Brooks, and Lyle Lovett. Of Appalachia Waltz, O'Connor says, "I really think this album could put Edgar Meyer on the international map in a lot of way
Following Ma's concert, at which the cellist held forth on a rapturous reading of Elgar's "Concerto for Cello and Orchestra," the trio is ushered to an after-party at Caffè Milano, a local restaurant. There they are feted by executives from Sony Classical (their record label) and a number of national tastemakers who have been flown in for the occasion. The idea is for Ma, O'Connor, and Meyer to play a few tracks from the album and then work the room in hopes that the effort will help break Appalachia Waltz beyond classical music's dwindling core audience. As he introduces the group, label president Peter Gelb recalls a lunch meeting with Meyer during which he enthused to the bassist how this trio could become "crusaders for the future of classical music." According to Gelb, Meyer politely but firmly informed him he didn't want to be part of any crusade. He just wanted to continue to make albums like Appalachia Waltz.
"I'm just not a crusader," a weary Meyer says later, as the clock strikes two a.m. and the last hand has been shaken, the last autograph signed.
"The crusades were many hundreds of years ago," adds Ma, whose immense popularity has, no doubt, produced many such discussions over the years. "I'm more interested in following. All of us, in a certain way, are very much involved in American music. I am truly interested in finding the soul of America – period – in all its incredible richness and diversity. Can one find that? Is it possible? This is something that concerns all of us deeply, because this is our country. We live here, our children live here. What are we passing on? That's interesting. That's crusade material, if I have to have a crusade."
To that end, Appalachia Waltz passes along a wide range of music that has made America distinctive musically – fiddle music that draws on Southern folk styles and the virtuosic Texas tradition – but which also points back to its sources in the Celtic tradition as well as the droning styles of Scandinavia. It's the story of a certain kind of music, sure, but it's also the story of the settling of America. For the stunningly beautiful title track, O'Connor says he drew on sources from "Shetland, Norway, and Sweden. When I hear Appalachian fiddling, I hear almost a direct descendant of those early countries."
Other pieces on the album range from the wistful (O'Connor's mandolin excursion "Butterfly's Day Out") to the dramatic (O'Connor and Meyer's rhythmic "Druid Fluid"), to the downright playful (Meyer's "Pickles"). "People started to name their pieces in classical music in the 1800s, to make descriptive titles," O'Connor says, adding with a laugh, "We've probably taken that too far."
"College Hornpipe," a fiddle tune out of the Texas tradition that O'Connor learned from his mentor, Benny Thomasson, is the piece that presented the greatest challenge for Ma. In an effort to soak up as much Texas fiddle music as he could, Ma insisted on playing the melody line on his cello. "He didn't want us to shave any notes from it or edit the part at all," O'Connor marvels. "I swear, it is awesome to watch Yo-Yo fiddle on his cello."
Listening to the trio converse, it's easy to see how much they get from each other's company. When one answers a question, the other two hang on every word, often asking for an elaboration or posing additional questions themselves.
"For me, working with Yo-Yo and Mark allows me to pursue my interest in finding the essence of things," Meyer says. "With this group, we can pursue any abstract musical question to the degree we want. It's a very freewheeling situation."
"Working with Edgar and Mark, there's an extremely high learning curve," Ma says. "I've just learned a tremendous amount. They have such high standards in what they're looking for, the abstract ideal, what is right for a given situation. As Edgar says, it's looking for the essence of things. That's what a musician does: hone in on that nugget, that truth, that bit of thing that we know is right. To be able to learn in that way, and to know that we haven't reached the limit of finding that place – that it's a great adventure that can go on – is really exciting."
So exciting, in fact, that it likely will go on. Ma has taken to calling the trio a band. But does it have a name yet? Ma's answer causes the other two to erupt into fits of laughter that effectively ends the interview.
"Just call us the Crusaders," he says.


Like sed, ed is a line editor. However, if you try to change file contents with sed, and the file is open elsewhere and read by some process, you will find out that GNU sed and its -i option will not allow you to edit the file. There are circumstances where you may need that, e.g. editing active and open files, the lack of GNU, or other sed, with "in-place" option available.
Don't get me wrong, this is not meant as anti-sed article! It's just meant to show you another way to do the job.
printf '%s\n' H 1i "$1" . w | ed -s "$2"
Which one you prefer is your choice. I will use the here-strings, since it looks best here IMHO.
There are other ways to provide input to ed. For example, process substitution. But these should be enough for daily needs.
Since ed wants commands separated by newlines, I'll use a special Bash quoting method, the C-like strings $'TEXT', as it can interpret a set of various escape sequences and special characters. I'll use the -s option to make it less verbose.
Similar to vi or vim, ed has a "command mode" and an "interactive mode". For non-interactive use, the command mode is the usual choice.
Commands to ed have a simple and regular structure: zero, one, or two addresses followed by a single-character command, possibly followed by parameters to that command. These addresses specify one or more lines in the text buffer. Every command that requires addresses has default addresses, so the addresses can often be omitted.
The line addressing is relative to the current line. If the edit buffer is not empty, the initial value for the current line shall be the last line in the edit buffer, otherwise zero. Generally, the current line is the last line affected by a command. All addresses can only address single lines, not blocks of lines!
Line addresses or commands using regular expressions interpret POSIX Basic Regular Expressions (BRE). A null BRE is used to reference the most recently used BRE. Since ed addressing is only for single lines, no RE can ever match a newline.
the , (comma) in front of the p command is a shortcut for 1,$ which defines an address range for the first to the last line, ,p thus means print the whole file, after it has been modified. When your script runs sucessfully, you only have to replace the ,p by a w.
Of course, even if the file is not modified by the p command, it's always a good idea to have a backup copy!
Most of these things can be done with sed. But there are also things that can't be done in sed or can only be done with very complex code.
Like sed, ed also knows the common s/FROM/TO/ command, and it can also take line-addresses. If no substitution is made on the addressed lines, it's considered an error.
Note: The comma as single address operator is an alias for 1,$ ("all lines").
This is definitely something that can't be done easily with sed.
You use the t command just like you use the m (move) command.
…but leave the final newline intact. This is done by an extra command: j (join).
Compared with two other methods (using tr or sed), you don't have to delete all newlines and manually add one at the end.
#replace all lines matching 1 by "replacement"
#replace the first line matching 1 by "replacement"
You might think that it's not a problem and that the same thing happens with sed and you're right, with the exception that if ed does not find a pattern it's an error, while sed just continues with the next line. For instance, let's say that you want to change foo to bar on the first line of the file and add something after the next line, ed will stop if it cannot find foo on the first line, sed will continue.
Keep in mind that in all the examples below, the entire file will be read into memory.
Gnu ed - if we had to guess, you're probably using this one.
http://wolfram.schneider.org/bsd/7thEdManVol2/edtut/edtut.pdf - Old but still relevant ed tutorial.
Aaaah you're absolutely right. My ed manpage mentions "default addresses". Thanks!
Comment or code should be changed.

ABOUT THE ALBUM #2
Roger and Randy Rose from Mad at the World are back at it, with a powerful re-visit of their early synth-heavy albums. Being a fan of MatW and of good synth work, their album Hope fails to disappoint. The synth structures and sounds are reminiscent of the eponymous first album and the powerful subsequent release of Flowers in the Rain. Fans of 80s synth pop and industrial will find this album a treasure. While the influences from that time are strongly represented, the Rose bros. (I hope they will forgive the use of the phrase!) bring a fresh eye to the music and make it musically contemporary.
The album's title, Hope, is befitting the overall sentiment and lyrical content. The writing is honest, inviting, and unapologetic in presenting their theological views. It's not preachy, yet a genuine expression of heartfelt sentiment.
The first track, "Healing on Planet Earth," is a great introduction to the overall theme. While retaining a sadness and darkness MatW listeners are familiar with, the familiar sense of real, objective hope in the world that has ever served as a stamp of their music. This track is a pleading prayer asking for a return for love and understanding on Earth. A hopeful return of what we appear to have lost touch with and perhaps failed to expand, leaving it withering on the vine as it were. It finishes with a plea to Jesus to heal us again.
"My Old Best Friend" is a send-off to one's old self and welcoming a renewal of heart. Very nice piano work in this, accompanied by some synth backgrounds.
"You are Free" engages strongly in a celebration of the 'Orchestral Hit' sounds common to the 80s, yet as strong as a sound as it is, it's pronounced yet not overbearing in this song. Perhaps it's best use is accomplished in this song. "I can't help but wonder if God is real, or I'm the one to blame, for all my shame" is a well-constructed lyric that is strong and very accessible. In some instances, it brings tears to one's eyes. The chorus, "you are free," is moving.
"Moving In and Moving Out" has a very deep synth bassline line continually throughout. As great as all the synth work is in this, the bassline is a favorite feature in this song. The story of the song tells of a malfunctioning love relationship.
The sounds of "Never Gonna Stop" is reminiscent of Depeche Mode's People Are People era, though more of a thoughtful reflective sound than D.M. expressed in their earlier material. This piece is about Jesus stating that he's "never gonna stop my love for you." Quite powerful.
"Can You Feel My Pain?" Is a powerful representation of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane expressed through contemplative piano work backed with strong synth. At least, that's what the reviewer feels the message is. Something to contemplate in the dark.
"That's What He Said" has a great danceable synth backdrop. At least it's a head-bopping sentiment. The lyrics again are powerful. "There's no turning back. There's no going home. Everything about you, belongs to me. You're not your own." There's a bit of D.M. sounds in this as well, but definitely in a unique presentation. The D.M. is merely a garnish for the overall song here.
A meditative, slow synth-bass wash defines the backing sound of "Just Beyond the Clouds of Grey." "A price too high to pay for, I'll be your currency."
"Break Me Down" is a surrender to divine love. Very nicely constructed, pointing out a synth sound reminiscent of a 60s garage rock over the bass and synth background. Nice bassline too! It's got a 'walking rhythm' that works perfectly for the song's theme.
"You Belong to Me" wraps up the theme of hope expressed in the title and encompassing the message of this album. Piano and synth work in this song is great. "Don't you know you belong to me? You always belong to me."
Overall, many influences can be heard or almost identified, yet Mad at the World retains a uniqueness that separates them from any other band. I mentioned Depeche Mode as an influence, yet there are so many throughout from which they may have borrowed snippets from it's difficult to identify, and certainly would be an entire article unto itself. I thought to hear (consciously on their part or not) influences from 70s greats like 10cc and Steely Dan, although I suspect their musical knowledge accesses a catalog extending beyond that which many are familiar. I also think to hear touches of David Ball's excellent keyboard work from Soft Cell and perhaps a smidgen of Nitzer Ebb.
This reviewer hopes to not take away anything from this album or the overall brilliance of the brothers Rose. The influences, real or imagined, take nothing away from this album. The art that is produced is its own unique, viable, and wonderful creation. The musicianship is remarkable, the lyrics heartfelt and evocative.
From what can be gathered, it seems that this album is just the first of a series of albums to come from Mad at the World, expressing different eras of their sound in new and fresh ways. This sounds like an exciting prospect, and this album definitely enthuses one for future releases, and encourages a delving into their past material.

Thunder, Westbrook get second look at Warriors, Durant
By | FoxSports
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors fans will get a second look this season at triple-double machine Russell Westbrook when the Oklahoma City Thunder visit Oracle Arena on Wednesday night.
Westbrook's first impression on the Golden State faithful in the post-Kevin Durant era was not flattering. The Thunder guard did record a 20-point, 10-assist double-double in the Nov. 3 game, but he missed 11 of his 15 shots and had as many turnovers (six) as rebounds (six).
It was Westbrook's first meeting with Durant as an opponent, and that didn't go well for the Thunder, either. The Warriors won easily 122-96.
Signed away from the Thunder by the Warriors in the off-season with a two-year, $54.3 million contract, Durant has yet to make a return to Oklahoma City. That won't happen until Feb. 11.
The teams also will meet March 20 at Oklahoma City.
The Thunder (25-18) have lost two of three games to begin their current six-game trip. They allowed 111.3 points in those three games, including 120 in a 22-point blowout loss against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
History says they'll have a hard time turning things around against the Warriors (35-6), against whom Oklahoma City has lost four straight, giving up at least 116 points in each game.
Three of those four games occurred while Durant was playing for the Thunder. In fact, he averaged 36.3 points in the first three losses, before scoring 39 for the Warriors in the Nov. 3 win.
Westbrook, meanwhile, has averaged 23.8 points, 10.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds in the four losses. He had a seven-turnover game in the sequence, and has shot just 29 for 76 (38.2 percent) in the four games.
He does have one career triple-double against the Warriors. It came on Jan. 16, 2015 -- the last time the Thunder beat Golden State, 127-115 in Oklahoma City.
Westbrook has an NBA-best 20 triple-doubles this season. He will go for No. 21 without the help of his starting center, Steven Adams, who remains out with a concussion.
Adams suffered the injury in Sunday's win at Sacramento. In his absence Monday, the Clippers, even without injured Blake Griffin, burned the Thunder interior with 54.9-percent shooting and 62 points in the paint.
Westbrook thought his team missed Adams' aggressive style.
"Just wasn't ready to play," he blurted about his team in general. "Gotta be more physical."
The Warriors got physical with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, even going overboard on one occasion when Draymond Green was assessed a flagrant foul for clotheslining LeBron James on a fastbreak.
Golden State held James to 20 points on 6-for-18 shooting in dealing the defending champions a 126-91 shellacking.
"When we play well defensively, we're hard to beat," noted Warriors guard Klay Thompson, who will be assigned to Westbrook. "We got stops and got in the open court. We did a good job of that (in the Cleveland game)."
The game will conclude a 10-game stretch during which the Warriors won't leave Northern California. They've gone 7-1 in home games over the 22-day period, and also prevailed after a 90-mile bus ride to Sacramento.

Donald Albert Dearing
A Mass of Christian Burial was held at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Eudora on Wednesday, December 15 at 10 a.m. with burial following at the Holy Family Catholic Cemetery. A visitation was held at Warren-McElwain Mortuary-Eudora Chapel on Tuesday, December 14 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Donald (Don) Albert Dearing of Eudora, Kansas passed away peacefully on December 10, 2021, in Lawrence, Kansas. Over the last 91 years, he has enjoyed a lifetime of loving family, friends, business associates and folks less fortunate to whom he would compassionately give a "hand up."
Don was born on June 27, 1930, in Salina, Kansas, where he spent his childhood before leaving formal education and going to work at the young age of 14.
After serving in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict, Don came back to Salina where he met a pretty girl who was babysitting his younger brother, Carmen. A love affair quickly blossomed and on November 27, 1954, Don married Mardella Ann Lutgen in Cawker City, Kansas, in front of family and friends.
The newlyweds initially made their home in Topeka, Kansas, before settling in rural Wabaunsee County and then Wamego, Kansas, where they raised four wonderful children. The couple later moved to Eudora, Kansas, where they've spent the last 35 years together.
Don was a perfectionist in everything he did and he prided himself in his work ethic. Everyone that knew him would certainly agree that you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that could out work him.
While it was difficult for anyone to keep up with him in his prime, working hard and having a solid handshake would certainly earn his respect. After owning several successful businesses, including Dearing Paint & Drywall and Dearing Sandblasting, Don retired in his mid-80s.
However, he didn't slow down much and could often be seen mowing over 32 acres or trimming trees on his property. Don also enjoyed tinkering and re-furbishing old trucks and motorcycles, and especially loved his old Harley-Davidson bikes.
Don is survived by his wife of 67 years, Mardella Dearing of Eudora, KS; his four children, Marlynda Hill (Randy), Lenexa, KS; Steve Dearing (Melanie), Archie, MO; LaDonna Ballock (Don), Eudora, KS; Sandra Mumaw, Ozawkie, KS; a brother Carmen Williams (Donna), Kansas City, MO; along with 17 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
His children sincerely thank everyone for what you've brought to Don's life over the last 91 years. Special thanks to the staff in the ICU unit at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital for their care and compassion during his final hours.
Don loved trees so, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in his name to Warren-McElwain Mortuary-Eudora Chapel so that his children may have trees planted in his name or Old Holy Family Catholic Church Restoration and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th Street, Lawrence, KS 66044.

Google releases redesigned Search app for iPhone, bringing it in line with iPad version's features
by Matthew Panzarino — in Apps
Google has today launched a new version of its Google Search app for iPhone, featuring faster operation, full-screen image and search interface and access to all Google apps in one place, reports Macstories. This brings it more in line with the iPad version of the Search app released late last year.
The iPad version had gotten a nice bump in design, which made it far more feature-rich and handy than the iPhone version. This latest update adds many of those features, but in a way that makes sense on the iPhone. This follows a widely praised update to the Google + app for iPhone, which now looks and works far better than the Android version of the app.
The redesigned app features a much faster interface, with quicker results and faster swiping and scrolling. The search results are automatically presented without search controls one you begin scrolling. It still doesn't use the 'Google Instant' search feature that the iPad does, however.
It's worth noting that this version of the Google Search app appears to have been written natively, rather than using a simple web view. This has been at the root of many complaints over Google's apps on iOS in the past. This time around, the team took no shortcuts and the app looks and feels pretty great.
The image search has gotten an overhaul as well, and now features the full-screen endless design, with swipeable lightbox, that the iPad version does.
One of the nicest additions is a pane of all of Google's apps, delivered via a button right on the splash screen. This was one of the most important updates to the iPad version as well and gives Search app users full access to all of their Google apps in one place. These apps still load directly into a web interface, but not a bad start.
The new app looks like a significant improvement over the original version of the app and demonstrates a continued commitment from Google to finally get apps on iOS right.

The Criticism about the Paintings
Despite the realistic quality of Cavaggario's paintings, some of his patrons were skeptical about his interpretations of bible scenes. In St. Mathew and the Angel, the saint is seated on an armchair with his legs closed. An angel, who has a feminine figure with white wings, is using her fingers to guide the saint in writing what appears to be the first account of Jesus. She is clad in a loose cloth that runs to the ground. However, her right leg is exposed up to the waist. From the context of this painting, the angels seems to have bared her thigh intentionally in a seductive plot against the Saint. The cross-legged posture of Saint Mathew suggests that he is trying his best to avoid the angel's advances. Although their bodies are close, the saint is leaning away from hers to avoid contact.
The original version of St. Mathew and the Angel was rejected by the patrons of San Luigi del Francesi because of its obscene depictions. Its quality was recommendable but according to his employers, it did not fit with religious purposes. Apart from eroticism, which is evident in this painting, the saint has bare feet and a wrinkled face. His appearance symbolizes poverty. Priests of the Church of San Luigi del Francesi felt that the man in this painting did not resemble a Saint.

Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and Nancy Pelosi during Trump's 2019 State of the Union
Second Whistleblower Comes Forward About Trump's Discussions With Ukraine, White House Responds
by Pablo MenaOctober 7, 2019, 2:40 pmOctober 7, 2019, 2:40 pmOctober 7, 2019, 2:40 pmDaily Digest, News, News Feed, Trump News >
A lawyer representing the whistleblower who filed a complaint about Trump's interactions with Ukraine said over the weekend he is now defending a second intelligence official with more direct knowledge of the matter.
The second whistleblower is considering testifying before Congress. Attorney Mark Zaid told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that the inspector general for the intelligence community, Michael Atkinson, has interviewed the second whistleblower over concerns about Trump's talks with Ukraine's government. Zaid's partner Andrew Bakaj confirmed on Twitter that the two lawyers are representing "multiple whistleblowers," although he did not state an exact number of intelligence officials.
IC WHISTLEBLOWER UPDATE: I can confirm that my firm and my team represent multiple whistleblowers in connection to the underlying August 12, 2019, disclosure to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. No further comment at this time. https://t.co/05b5aAVm2G
— Andrew P. Bakaj (@AndrewBakaj) October 6, 2019
This new development comes as House Democrats ramp up their impeachment probe over Trump's decision to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son in a July 25 phone call. Lawmakers subpoenaed Vice President Mike Pence over the weekend for documents related to the Ukraine controversy.
The White House dismissed reports of multiple whistleblowers by insisting that Trump never committed a crime.
"It doesn't matter how many people decide to call themselves whistleblowers about the same telephone call," White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement. "It doesn't change the fact that the president did nothing wrong."
Trump slammed reports of a second whistleblower in a tweet Saturday night in which he made a dig at House intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff by calling him "Shifty:"
The first so-called second hand information "Whistleblower" got my phone conversation almost completely wrong, so now word is they are going to the bench and another "Whistleblower" is coming in from the Deep State, also with second hand info. Meet with Shifty. Keep them coming!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 6, 2019
Trump famously drew criticism from lawmakers and pundits for tweeting that he had the right to meet the first whistleblower, whom he accused of lying about his interactions with Ukraine. Atkinson said in a statement last week that the president's claim about the initial intelligence official lacking firsthand knowledge of his talks with the country's leader was false.
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Connecticut) also commented on the news of a second whistleblower on Monday by dismissing Trump's claims that only Democrats are after him. Himes emphasized that even people close to the president have voiced concerns over discussions he has held with foreign leaders in which he has asked for favors that benefit him personally or politically.
SLIDESHOW: TOP DEMOCRATS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020
"This is not a Democratic-led thing," Himes said in an interview on CNN. "This is people around the president who have watched his behavior…and are finally saying this can't happen anymore."
🔥On the SECOND #whistleblower, Rep. @jahimes "This is not a Democratic-led thing. This is people around @realDonaldTrump who have watched his behavior…and are finally saying this can't happen anymore."

Porsche's Forza Partnership Is About More than Just Cars in Video Games
Yes, car packs are part of it, but it's bigger than that.
By Travis Okulski
This week,Porsche and Microsoft began a six year partnership that'll see Porsche cars return to Microsoft and Turn 10's Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon franchises. You're probably thinking that this is great and that you get to drive Porsches in games again, but it's about more than that.
"I don't need players to get into traditional motorsport," Dan Greenawalt, the Creative Director at Turn 10 told Road & Track during the NY Auto Show. "But I really want them to get excited about car culture."
That's what Porsche wants too. And that's the intention of this partnership. It starts off this weekend with an invite-only racing series which becomes Porsche's official entry into esports. The way Porsche looks at it, this partnership lets them improve the gaming space.
Porsche's Scott Baker told us that "our responsibility isn't to market games to customers. It's to deliver authenticity to the space, and to integrate locations, personality, and experiences to allow the gamer to be a part of something they couldn't get someplace else."
So what does that mean, exactly? Well, the car pack allows people to compare classic Porsches, like the RSK and 550, to something modern like a 718 Boxster. It lets Porsche tell its story to a whole raft of gamers who might not be able to own a Porsche yet, but will want to in the future. But how can it progress past that? Porsche and Turn 10 are coy on specifics, but we have a few ideas.
Maybe the drive for authenticity could lead to re-running classic races online in Porsches, like a 917 at Le Mans. Perhaps there's the opportunity to debut new cars or new drivers in the game in the future. What we do know is that this partnership is far more than just a company providing its cars to a game. It's actually one of the first times we've seen a car company really partner up with a video game in order to keep car enthusiasm alive and growing amongst younger fans. That's something we can all celebrate.

Do you ever see her in the town?
Walking across wearing tube dress?
May I have a two dollar please, sir?
Virgin black rose in the Arabian valley!!!
Thee my red Rose I love you!!!
This is my red Rose!, this is my red Rose!!, this is my red Rose!!!
My love is like sun and moon.
Who gave me a fragranced love?
O! what a disastrous life they consumed!
\Who said 'Golden sandy beach'?
Wet your heart and say "Good night sweet Princess" !!!
O our soul in agony !
Do I compare thee into yours?
She taught me to live in peace and passion but not to "glued into desires/cravings". And she was.
She was my first teacher of course. She was the mother of motherhood, glory of motherhood. Once again, she proved mother's love. She worked tirelessly while rest into sleep. She woke up early and went to bed late night. She gained nothing except her motherhood. She breastfed us while others worries about their look.
You showed me to pick up the best yet expensive than cheaper ones. Your talents are multi-faceted. It's a inheritance I got from your artistic talents.
Your massive personality erupted like a giant tree giving shadows to many students. Your royalty brought us honor and dignity to me and my family. You always valued education further commending as old saying "education maketh a man". I am very proud of you!. But terribly I lost you in my life!.

Review: The impact of HIV infection on cancer treatment with immunotherapy
Bruno Palma Granwehr
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cancer have been intimately linked since the first cases of HIV were identified after investigation of unusually high rates of Kaposi's sarcoma in patients without other risk factors. HIV not only impairs the immune system but also drives a chronic inflammatory response. The significance of the chronic inflammatory response has become more evident, as patients with HIV survive longer on antiretroviral therapy, developing cancers more typical of the aging population. Cancer treatment offered to patients with HIV includes traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Some oncologists abbreviate courses or reduce doses of treatment in patients with HIV. The promising field of immunotherapy, exemplified by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has revolutionized cancer care. Some of the first studies of ICIs conceived of these agents as an approach to overcome "immune exhaustion" in patients with HIV and other chronic viral infections. In fact, clinical trials are underway to assess the impact of ICIs on patients with HIV with low CD4 counts, despite virologic suppression. Experience with ICI in patients with HIV and cancer is limited, but available studies suggest that HIV remains well-controlled, with CD4 count stable to increasing and viral load stable to decreasing. Immune-related adverse effects have varied, with one case series reporting higher than expected rates, but immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome has not been reported. In addition to these other therapies, stem cell transplant (SCT) has been demonstrated to be safe and effective. In selected patients with HIV, SCT has even led to the cure of HIV, as noted in two confirmed cases. The treatment of patients with HIV and cancer will benefit from clinical trials designed for this population, as well as new guidelines to aid oncologists in providing care for these patients. Collaboration between oncologists and HIV providers is essential in managing the treatment of HIV during cancer therapy, as well as addressing infectious and other complications that arise. This collaboration will lead to continued improvement in the management of this growing patient population.
Neuromuscular weakness syndromes from immune checkpoint inhibitors: A case series and literature review

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) (anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4, anti-programmed death 1, and anti-programmed death-ligand 1) have transformed the landscape of cancer therapy. However, their increasing use has unleashed immune-related adverse events in various organs, among which neurologic ones, while rare, are increasingly being recognized and remain incompletely characterized. Herein, we report five patients with nonmelanoma cancers who developed weakness after receiving CPIs. The etiology was attributed to radiculoneuritis (one patient), myositis (one patient), Miller Fisher/myasthenia gravis (MG) (one patient), neuropathy/myositis/MG (one patient), and myositis/MG (one patient). Weakness developed after a median of two doses (range: 1–3) and 4 weeks (range: 3–10) from initiation of therapy. Two patients had severe manifestations without improvement while the other three experienced partial improvement despite discontinuation of the CPI (s) and initiation of immunosuppressive therapy. A review of literature identified 62 similar cases. This report highlights the challenges in the diagnosis and management of neurologic adverse events related to the use of CPIs. It also addresses the crucial need for early recognition, proper workup, and better biomarkers to help improve the outcomes of these adverse events.

Immune checkpoint inhibition has revolutionized the treatment for numerous cancer patients; however, the spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) remains to be fully uncovered. We report a 48-year-old woman who was treated in the Phase III IMpassion130 study (atezolizumab and nanoparticle albumin-bound [nab]-paclitaxel) for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. She experienced a partial response after 3 months. Nevertheless, the patient presented with thickening of the skin and muscle fatigue in the distal extremities together with blood eosinophilia after 15 months. Skin biopsy and magnetic resonance imaging were diagnostic of eosinophilic fasciitis (EF). Symptoms clearly improved upon stopping atezolizumab, while tumor response is still ongoing after discontinuing treatment. We identified five other cases of EF during immunotherapy, all occurring after about 1 year and in contrast to our case, mostly accompanied by other irAEs. This highlights that even if EF is a rare irAE, timely recognition and management remains important.

Safety of immune checkpoint blockade in patients with cancer and preexisting autoimmune diseases and/or chronic inflammatory disorders
Mohsin Shah, Mazen N Jizzini, Imad E Majzoub, Aiham Qdaisat, Cielito C Reyes-Gibby, Sai-Ching Yeung
Background: Checkpoint blockade therapy, in the form of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), is increasingly being used to prolong survival in cancer patients, but its use is limited by the occurrence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). These can be serious and occasionally fatal. However, the safety of ICIs is currently unknown in cancer patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases (PADs) and/or chronic inflammatory disorders (CIDs) such as eczema.Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of ICIs in cancer patients with PAD and/or eczema at our institution. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study of cancer patients who presented to the Emergency Department between March 1, 2011, and February 29, 2016, after ICI therapy was previously conducted. Among these patients, those with PAD and/or eczema were further evaluated for safety by determining the occurrences of de novo irAEs or preexisting disease exacerbation. Results: Twenty-two cancer patients with PAD and/or eczema who received ICIs were reviewed, in which 15 were male (68%). Their median age was 63 years (range: 40–78 years). Most patients received anti-PD-1drugs (68%). Melanoma was the most common malignancy (45%). Autoimmune thyroiditis/primary hypothyroidism was the most common PAD. Four patients were receiving treatment for PAD at baseline using systemic corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory agents, and other immunosuppressants. Nineteen patients experienced de novo irAEs and/or PAD exacerbation. In three patients, the irAE was severe (grade ≥3). In six patients, the irAE or exacerbation was managed with systemic corticosteroids. Twelve patients experienced resolution of the de novo irAE or PAD exacerbation without the need to withhold or discontinue ICI therapy. The median time to last follow-up or death from the first dose of ICI was 16.8 months (range: 2–80 months). Death due to cancer progression was reported in 17 patients. Conclusion: Although de novo irAEs and PAD exacerbation were common, most patients with PAD and/or CIDs tolerated ICI therapy well.
Rheumatic and musculoskeletal adverse events with immune checkpoint inhibitors: Data from the United States Food and Drug Administration adverse event reporting system
Xerxes N Pundole, Mayur Sarangdhar, Maria E Suarez-Almazor
Background: Despite their efficacy, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause significant immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Rheumatic and musculoskeletal irAEs can be serious and adversely affect the quality of life. The full spectrum of irAEs is still emerging, and to represent and better understand their scope, we evaluated the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Methods: We used AERSMine, an open-access web application to mine FAERS data across 11,919,342 patients from 2011 (first quarter) to 2018 (fourth quarter). Measures of disproportionality were calculated using well-established pharmacovigilance metrics, proportional reporting ratios, and safety signals (information component), in patients receiving ICI. Results: We analyzed 63,979 cancer patients for reports of ICI-associated AEs. Eighty-two percent of these reports were in relation with anti-PD-1 inhibitors. Rates of rheumatic and musculoskeletal AEs were higher in men and in patients >65 years of age. Several statistically significant AEs were identified, most in relation with PD-1 inhibitors. AEs with the highest number of reports included arthralgia (n = 1062), followed by myalgia (n = 532), myositis (n = 438), arthritis (n = 403), and rhabdomyolysis (n = 230). Novel AEs affecting the skeleton included compression fractures, fractures at various skeletal sites (rib, thoracic vertebral, and humerus), osteonecrosis of the jaw, osteitis, and osteomyelitis. Conclusion: A wide spectrum of rheumatic and musculoskeletal AE signals were detected within the FAERS data which may signify the emerging trends of irAEs post approval of ICI. Additional research to explore mechanisms and identify optimal management strategies of these AEs is warranted.
Kaposi's sarcoma in the immunosuppressed
Nisha A Reddy, Steven R Mays, Omar Pacha
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a virally induced tumor most commonly appearing in the immunosuppressed. It is caused by infection with human herpesvirus-8, which in healthy individuals causes no symptoms. However, in patients with weakened immune systems, such as in HIV and organ transplant patients, the virus can proliferate leading to KS. Following the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV and AIDS, the prevalence of AIDS-related KS has fallen, but it has begun to appear in subsets of patients on treatment. Treatments for KS vary depending on the cause of immunosuppression. In the case of HIV, ART is the first-line treatment, but other therapies are initiated based on tumor response. In transplant patients, primary treatment involves stopping or reducing immunosuppression and similarly advancing to other therapies based on response. This presents a dilemma in many cases where chemotherapy will reduce an already-weakened immune system or in strengthening an immune system in patients at risk for transplant rejection. This review will focus on summarizing the effects of immunosuppression in HIV-related (epidemic) and iatrogenically immunosuppressed transplant patients with KS and its etiology, pathophysiology, current treatments, and management along with novel therapies.
Common cutaneous neoplasms in patients with immunodeficiency: A case series
Suhair Al Salihi, Haider A Mejbel, Victor G Prieto, Phyu P Aung
Through humoral and cell-mediated mechanisms, the immune system plays a vital role in protecting every organ system. Disorders of the immune system may result in various cutaneous manifestations, including cutaneous malignancies. In patients with immunodeficiency, the risk of development of malignant cutaneous neoplasms is substantially increased. This increased risk may be due to oncogenic viruses that find a suitable microenvironment for tumorigenesis and cancer development. A subset of cutaneous malignancies that develop in patients with immunodeficiency may show aggressive clinical and biological behavior. Here, we report six cases of highly aggressive and deadly cutaneous neoplasms that arose in patients with a known history of immunodeficiency: two cases of Kaposi sarcoma in patients with immunosuppression due to human immunodeficiency virus infection; a case of Merkel cell carcinoma and a case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs after organ transplant; a case of multiple cutaneous tumors, including invasive melanoma, SCC, and sebaceous carcinoma, in a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia and a history of organ transplant; and a case of basal cell carcinoma and melanoma in situ in a patient with primary immunodeficiency.

Replacing older, less efficient lift trucks at the right time can reduce your maintenance costs, improve your productivity and, most importantly, save money and maximize your return on investment. As a result, your profitability goes up. In an economic downturn, there is a tendency to postpone the purchase of new equipment. This may be a costly mistake.
When lift truck fleets are not maintained appropriately or utilized efficiently, downtime increases, productivity is reduced and you end up spending money when you should be making money. This affects your bottom line when more money is being spent on a poorly maintained fleet that doesn't perform as cost effectively as it should. So how do you determine the right time to make a new, significant purchase?

earlier start than usual harvesting their fields. The large, slow moving equipment can cause many hazards on the road. As always want our customers and employees to be safe.
Below are some tips and things to consider as you encounter this type of equipment on the road this year and every year.
Difference in speeds: Most farm machinery is transported at 25mph or less while other vehicles travel faster. The difference causes motorist to miscalculate how fast they are approaching the farm machinery.
Large equipment: Farm machinery is very large sometimes extending into several lanes of traffic creating a hazardous situation.
Poor visibility: Corners, hills, curves and other blind spots reduce a motorist's ability to see farm equipment pulling onto the roadway.
Outdated equipment: Older equipment may have poor lighting which makes it difficult to see.
Towing equipment too fast: The equipment may start to sway and cause the operator to lose control.
Harvest: Heavy increase in farm machinery traffic during harvest season can produce a hazard for motorists.
Operator error: You may be an alert and cautious driver, but the farm equipment/operator may cause hazards, such as, a tractor with bald tires or no brakes, passengers that could fall off, poor road conditions like large potholes that could cause the operator to lose control or equipment sliding off a trailer due to improper tie down.
Thank you for Being Safe in the Moment this day and EVERYDAY!

Mel B's ex-husband Stephen Belafonte jets into London after her video to highlight domestic violence
May 15, 2021 Dianne Reeves Celebrity News
Mel B's ex-husband Stephen Belafonte has jetted into London hours after the singer appeared in a shocking video to highlight the effects of domestic violence.
In the Women's Aid video, the Spice Girl, 45, appeared beaten and covered in fake bruises as she attempted to flee a violent partner.
It came as Mel also claimed she attempted to leave her marriage to ex-husband Stephen, who has vehemently denied any accusations of abuse, for a decade but found it to be an 'impossible' situation.
Ex: Mel B 's ex-husband Stephen Belafonte has jetted into London hours after the singer appeared in a shocking video to highlight the effects of domestic violence (pictured in 2016)
The Mirror reported on Friday night that Stephen, 45, had jetted into London with the producer confirming the news on his own Instagram.
Posting a picture to his Stories, Stephen revealed that he was travelling to the United Kingdom with singer Malú Trevejo, 18, who he manages.
The producer shared an image of a Union Jack flag with a laughing emoji and 'I [heart emoji] the UK', he penned: 'I'm in London with my superstar @malutrevejo and after we quarantine it's [four fire emojis].'
The Mirror also claims that Malú told her Instagram followers that she was 'quizzed by police' over an alleged lockdown breach at her London hotel earlier this week after she went outside to smoke.
MailOnline has contacted both Stephen and Malú's representatives for further comment.
Hard-hitting: In the Women's Aid video, the Spice Girl, 45, appeared beaten and covered in fake bruises as she attempted to flee a violent partner
London: The Mirror reported on Friday night that Stephen, 45, had jetted into London with the producer confirming the news on his own Instagram
On Thursday night, Mel appeared beaten and covered in fake bruises for a shocking music video to highlight the effects of domestic violence.
The Spice Girl can be seen attempting to flee her violent partner in the Women's Aid video, which was made in collaboration with classical composer Fabio D'Andrea.
It came after Mel also claimed she attempted to leave her marriage to ex-husband Stephen, who has denied any accusations of abuse, for a decade but found it to be an 'impossible' situation.
In the video, Mel can be seen wearing makeup to mimic a bloodied face and bruises as she is dragged across the room and beaten by her partner.
Manager: Posting a picture to his Stories, Stephen revealed that he was travelling to the United Kingdom with singer Malú Trevejo, 18, who he manages (pictured in March)
While the video shows that the couple's relationship is the picture of happiness to those around them, behind closed doors she is left terrified by her partner's violent behaviour.
The clip ends with a bloodied Mel dramatically fleeing her house after her partner leaves, desperate to escape his abusive behaviour.
Speaking to The Sun following the video's release, Mel, who is now a patron for Women's Aid, explained: 'Whether it be the spitting or the strangulation, these are things that actually happen. They are all these women's stories.
'I came out of making that video with bruises because I wanted it to be an honest representation of what we have all gone through.
'There is a bedroom scene where I am attacked, it was really important to make that real.'
Relationship: It came as Mel also claimed she tried to leave her marriage for 10 years, after accusing ex Stephen of 'emotional and physical abuse,' which he denies (pictured 2015)
Mel also hinted that five years since leaving her marriage, she has found love again with a new partner, admitting that following her ordeal she couldn't even be hugged or touched for a year.
The singer also welcomed the introduction of The Domestic Abuse Bill into law, with the new Act setting out the definition as being beyond just physical violence, and including coercive control and emotional and sexual abuse.
However Mel also detailed that despite divorcing Stephen, she is still embroiled in a custody arrangement meaning she cannot see her daughter Madison for weeks on end.
Since leaving her ex, Mel has settled into a new life in Leeds with her mum Andrea and has vowed to teach her daughters how to maintain a good relationship, including a ban on yelling in her house.
Shocking: The former Spice Girl can be seen attempting to flee her violent partner in the Women's Aid video, which was made in collaboration with classical composer Fabio D'Andrea
Speaking further about the short film, Mel said: 'I'm so incredibly proud to be part of this project which means so much to me because this is a collaboration of three things that are so important in my life. Music, dance and a way to highlight the ever increasing issue of violence towards women.
'It seems strange to say I am proud of showing something so brutal and disturbing but it is my mission to raise awareness of something so many women go through every day, every week, every month of their lives.
'I have had my own experiences of abusive relationships but as patron of Women's Aid I have spoken to so many other women, listened to what they have gone through and I know how very real the danger is to so many women out there and I'm not going to stop breaking the silence and the shame around this subject because it's too much and we have to stand up and do something.
'This performance represents the stories and the experiences of those women I have met, spoken to or heard about.
'My heart breaks for every single woman and child who suffers from some form of domestic abuse. I want this to count for all victims of abuse. I want to help raise awareness, raise money and do anything I can to put a stop to this epidemic.'
Brutal: In the video, Mel can be seen wearing makeup to mimic a bloodied face and bruises as she is dragged across the room and beaten by her partner
The video is part of a series by D'Andrea that has also included actor Russell Tovey highlighting issues around fame and mental health.
D'Andrea said: 'So much can be communicated via the arts that cannot be in other ways. We all hope this video can connect with as many people as possible.
'Domestic violence exists in every section of society but we rarely hear about it. This music and this video aims to change that. This video performance represents the stories and the experiences of many, many women. It is very real, very raw.'
Teresa Parker, head of communications for Women's Aid, said: 'Specialist services, such as those run by Women's Aid nationally and the local services run by our members all around the country, truly help to save lives.
'We are asking everyone to share this important video, to help us raise awareness, and if you can consider donating to Women's Aid or your local domestic abuse service to make sure that women fleeing abuse, like the woman that Melanie is playing in the video, are able to access the help and support that they urgently need.'
Alternative sight: The video shows the couple dancing together, alluding to the image of their 'happy' relationship
It came as Mel also claimed she tried to leave her marriage for 10 years, after accusing ex-husband Stephen of 'emotional and physical abuse.'
In an interview for ITV News, the singer explained she attempted to leave her relationship multiple times, but kept going back to him.
She said: 'I was married for 10 years and I did find the strength to leave, but then I ended up going back… it was just an impossible situation for me.'
'When you are in that kind of relationship, it literally feels impossible to get out because you're isolated.
'Some women don't have access to their phones, even their finances. Like in my situation, you are completely cut off from a regular normal world. What becomes your normality is living in an abusive relationship with no way out, but there is help.'
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Stephen Belafonte for further comment.
Tough: Speaking to ITV News she said: 'Some women don't have access to their phones, even their finances. Like in my situation, you are completely cut off from a regular normal world'
Mel previously claimed that much of her abuse was recorded, as well as herself and Stephen having sex, which he claimed was consensual.
The former couple divorced in 2017, with Mel revealing last year that she now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, which can lead to flashbacks.
The singer told how she once woke up from a nightmare convinced that her ex had tried to chop off her finger.
Mel said she didn't realise how traumatised she was until after the release of her book Brutally Honest when she struggled to speak about the alleged abuse during interviews.
She said: 'I didn't even realise for so many years that I was in a coercive relationship. It was only through doing my book that I began to fully understand the situation I had been living in for ten years. And I know I'm not the only one like that.'
Mel's autobiography, Brutally Honest, talks about abuse and her suicide attempt, and the singer said she has no regrets about anything in the book, including her revelations about her ex – who she divorced in 2017 after ten years of marriage.
Speaking of their volatile relationship while on GMB in 2018, she said: 'I had an unfortunate ten year marriage; very coercive and abusive. Something we don't talk about, because it's taboo.
'I wanted to address all these different situations due to living such a life for 10 years. I wanted to own it take back my power in a respectful way, I think.'
Host Piers Morgan said: 'The opening page talks about a suicide attempt… it was around The X Factor judging time.'
Mel responded: 'Yeah, I was crushed. I am probably still healing and learning from that whole entire relationship. Writing the book was cathartic and therapeutic… It is a chapter in my life that has been put to rest.'
Talking further about Stephen, she said: 'I didn't choose him he chose me and sought me out. It came at a very vulnerable point at my life.
'There was domestic violence, mental abuse, control, torture….it's very, not a very nice thing to have gone through. I am happy as I have teamed up with Women's Aid, educating people, that's not normal, fair or respectful to treat anyone like that.'
Apart: The Spice Girl is living in her native Britain after leaving her job as a judge on America's Got Talent, with Madison is living in LA with her father. The exes currently share custody
She and Stephen divorced in 2017 and spent months battling it out in a nasty court fight before finally reaching a settlement in August 2018 which involved the abuse charges being dropped.
She accused him of physical and emotional abuse and he claimed she was a cocaine and alcohol addict.
Last year, Mel was reported to be furious that the nanny whom she accused of wrecking her marriage to Belafonte is still caring for their daughter Madison.
Mel was said to be looking into taking legal action to keep Lorraine Gilles away from her daughter who is living with her father in Los Angeles, according to The Sun.
'There is a stay away order in place to ensure Lorraine Gilles keeps out of the lives of Mel and her daughters,' a spokesperson for the star told the outlet at the time. 'Her lawyers will be looking into this matter.'
And a source told the website: 'There were valid reasons why she did not want Lorraine around her children, hence a stayaway order was put in place.'
MailOnline contacted Mel B's representatives for comment at the time.
Gilles had been snapped picking up Madison from her school and walking the family dog with her.
Gilles, who was 18 when she was hired by the couple as a nanny in 2009, admitted to having sex with both Belafonte and Mel including threesomes during a deposition in the messy divorce case.
In April 2019, the Spice Girl paid out $1.8 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought against her by Gilles whom she had called a 'prostitute' and a 'homewrecker' two years earlier.
In 2017, Stephen denied Mel's allegations of abuse in a statement, telling TMZ: 'It's a shame that Ms. Brown elected not to proceed in a respectful and amicable fashion in this very private matter.
'In due course, Mr. Belafonte will be filing his response to the outrageous and unfounded allegations made by Ms. Brown, which allegations he vehemently denies.
Issues: The estranged former couple currently share joint custody of Madison following their acrimonious divorce in late 2017 (pictured in August 2016)
'When the Court determines the truth, it will become clear that this entire charade was nothing more than a smear campaign intended to cover up Ms. Brown's own conduct during the marriage in light of her current involvement with a family television show, and in an effort to unfairly gain leverage both financially and with respect to custody of the children.'
'When the degree to which Ms. Brown has gone to create a false depiction of her marriage to Mr. Belafonte is uncovered, real victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse will be understandably offended, angry and upset.'
'Mr. Belafonte is confident that the truth will come out when he has his day in court at which time he looks forward to being reunited with his children.'
Mel previously said she's been struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder since her marriage broke down in 2016.

Family: In addition to Madison, Mel B is a mother to daughters Phoenix, 22, whose father is her first husband Jimmy Gulzar, and Angel, 14, whose father is Hollywood star Eddie Murphy. They are pictured in LA in 2018 along with Belafonte's adult daughter Giselle
Advertising. Insurance companies have spent millions of dollars in research to determine what types of drivers and cars pose the most financial. Based On These results, They Have Come Up With A Formula That determined how Much IS A PARTICULAR driver charged in premiums. Based on these results, they developed a formula that determines how much a particular driver is charged in premiums. While this formula Is Only fully-Known to Cheapest Cars Insurance companies, it's quite Obvious That Some coaches and people are less expensive to insure Than Others. Although this formula can not be fully known to insurance companies, it is clear that some cars and people are cheaper to insure than others. In this article, We Will Discuss The Particular attributes of car Which make it more expensive Then Another, to insure. In this article we will examine the characteristics of the car that make it more expensive than the other, to insure. Amounts are based premium Typically how expensive it IS The Car, The Size of the Car, whether or not It Is Targeted by Thieves and whether or not it can-do extensive damage to another car. the premiums are usually based on how the car is expensive, the size of the car, whether or not he is the target of thieves and whether or not it can do considerable damage to another car. Cars That Have less value (cost) Will Be Cheaper to Insure That Are More Than expensive cars. Cars that have less value (cost), will be less expensive to insure that cars are more expensive. This Is Because It Will Cost The Insurance companies less money to replace to replace golden shares The Entire because if It Is TotalEdit gold stolen. That's because it will cost insurance companies less money to replace parts or to replace the whole car if it is reached or stolen. The Size of the year because est aussi important part of The Insurance cost equation. The size of the car is also an important part of the equation insurance costs. If a Car Is Too Small or Too Big, Then The insurance Will Be Higher. If a car is too small or too large, the insurance will be higher. This Is Because bigger cars can-do more damage to cars in crashes Other. This is because bigger cars can do more damage to other cars in accidents. The crash if it Is the driver's fault With The bigger because, Then The insurance Likely Will Have to shell out Quite a bit of cash. If the accident is the fault of the driver with the highest car insurance will probably pay a little money. Cars That Are Too Small Have the opposite problem. Cars that are too small have the opposite problem. Often They Are Damaged And The occupants more more Likely To Suffer Injuries from crash related. They are most often damaged and the occupants more likely to suffer from injuries caused by accident. The least expensive cars to insure are Those That Are mid-sized. The cheapest cars to be insured are those of medium size. Therefor, if long-term Costs are year end for you, Be sure to purchase a mid-sized car. Therefore, if the long-term costs are a problem for you, be sure to buy a mid size car. Whether or not a car IS Typically Targeted by Thieves Is Another component to Calculating your insurance rates. Whether or not a car is typically targeted by thieves is another element for calculating your insurance premium. If your SI as Likely to Be Stolen, Then insurance companies assume more risk in Insuring you and subsequently, force you to pay more in premiums. If your car is likely to be stolen then insurance companies assume more risk by ensuring thereafter, forcing you to pay higher premiums. Keep This Is Mind, When you are looking for your next car. Keep this in mind when you're looking for your next car. Insurance Companies Have A pretty Elaborate formula When It Comes to Deciding Who Will pay what, for Their policies. Insurance companies have a fairly complex formula when it comes to deciding who will pay anything for their policies. Owners of cars That Have to Pay The Least Amount of money for insurance are Those That Have Typically mid sized cars and vehicles Have That Are Not Targeted by thieves. Car owners have to pay less money for insurance are generally those with mid-size cars and vehicles that are not targeted by thieves. Individual year if IS are interested in. cutting back How Much THEY pay for insurance, They Will Need to Consider These Things When It Is Time to make a purchase. If someone is interested in cutting back on how much they pay for insurance, they will need to consider these things when it's time to make a purchase. Insurance companies are all about Assessing Risk. Insurance companies are all about risk assessment. If They view you as a Financial Risk, They Will Make Sure That You pay more. If they see you as a financial risk, they should ensure that you pay more. This May SEEM unfair, however, insurance companies Have Done Numerous studies and Have Come Up With A profile is What types of drivers and cars Get Into The Most accidents and Will Likely cost em more money. This may seem unfair, however, insurance companies have done many studies and have developed a profile on what types of drivers and cars entering the most accidents and will likely cost more money. Will individualist thesis end up Paying more Then Someone That Does not exhibit thesis characteristics. These people end up paying more than someone who does not exhibit these characteristics. Therefor, try to stay away form high powered cars, vans That Are Extremely Large And That Can Do Major Damage To other cars on the road, cars are too small and That That Are Likely To Be Damaged Greatly if in a crash. Therefore, try to stay away from high-shaped electric cars, cars that are extremely important and can cause major damage to other cars on the road, cars that are too small and are likely to be so heavily damaged in an accident. Also, remember, the Less expensive because The IS, the Less You Will Probably Have to pay for insurance, Unless of course, because The IS small. Also, remember, the cheaper the car, the less you'll probably have to pay for insurance, unless of course, the car is small.

LP7156-5 Cerebral spinal fluid
Part: CSF
Description: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), Liquor cerebrospinalis, is a clear bodily fluid that occupies the subarachnoid space in the brain (the space between the skull and the cerebral cortex more specifically, between the arachnoid and pia layers of the meninges). It is basically a saline solution with microglia and acts as a cushion or buffer for the cortex. Physiology:Cerebrospinal fluid also occupies the ventricular system of the brain and the spinal cord. It is produced by the choroid plexus which are formed by specialized ependymal cells. The choroid plexus enter the lateral ventricles through the choroid fissure, along the line of the fimbriafornix, and the third and fourth ventricle through their roofs. The CSF formed by the choroid plexuses in the ventricles, circulates through the interventricular foramina into the third ventricle and then via the mesencephalic duct (cerebral aqueduct) into the fourth ventricle through two lateral apertures and one median aperture.

Canadians are like the Kiwis of North America.
A couple of months ago my boyfriend showed me the Instagram account of this Canadian jewellery label, Captve.
My jaw dropped. I instantly fell in love with the insanely beautiful, intricate designs.
Hailing from Montreal, Captve straddles the realm between jewellery and sculpture. Every piece is a hand-carved work of art.
I'm honestly shitting myself at this amazing opportunity to collaborate with Captve and do a photo shoot for their Manus collection!
In this shoot, I wore the Manus Ring, the Manus Double Finger Ring, the Manus Arm Necklace and the Ruin I Ring.
Manus Ring + Manus Double Finger Ring + Manus Arm Necklace + Ruin I Ring. The whole shebang.
I've tried these pieces with some other outfits for another photo shoot and the jewellery matched perfectly with the different styles I was rocking. What fascinates me is that, whether you're a girly girl, a tomboy or somewhere in between, these pieces just seem to be able to adapt to the aura of the wearer and tell the story of whoever that's wearing them.
I believe this unique quality came from the creative process.
When the maker creates an object with love, the object carries a storytelling quality - because it has soul in it.

The Secret of Pirates' Hill is Volume 36 in the original The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories published by Grosset & Dunlap.

This book was written for the Stratemeyer Syndicate by John Almquist in 1956. Between 1959 and 1973 the first 38 volumes of this series were systematically revised as part of a project directed by Harriet Adams, Edward Stratemeyer's daughter. The original version of this book was shortened in 1972 by Priscilla Baker-Carr resulting in two slightly different stories sharing the same title.

Plot summary
Hired by a mysterious businessman to locate an old Spanish cannon, the Hardy brothers and friends grow more and more suspicious as they encounter stolen cars and a mysterious man on a motorcycle.  They eventually uncover the cannon and thousands in gold bullion after perilous underwater adventures.

Also known as "reticulocyte harvest," this is a specialized procedure performed mostly in reference laboratories that allows blood bank workers to distinguish native RBCs from transfused RBCs in a recently transfused patient. Reticulocytes are "young" RBCs that have been recently released from the bone marrow (see an image here), and they are usually present in increased quantities in anemic patients. Reticulocytes are larger and less dense than mature RBCs, and while they are pretty easily identified on a peripheral smear, that fact doesn't really help in the reference lab when you are staring at a tube of blood! However, in the 1980's, researchers discovered that when multiple capillary tubes of blood from a recently transfused patient are centrifuged at high speed, the least dense cells (i.e., the ones at the TOP of the capillary tube) are primarily reticulocytes, and those reticulocytes are primarily from the patient rather than the donor(s). The RBCs may then be used to identify the antigens carried on the patient's own RBCs. This technique works pretty well, though it isn't perfect. Generally speaking, at least 3 days should have passed since the most recent transfusion or some of the less mature transfused RBCs could contaminate the patient reticulocyte population. In addition, if the patient has a disease that results in a suppressed reticulocyte response, then there may be insufficient native reticulocytes present for the procedure to work. Most reference labs, and some hospital transfusion services, use RBC antigen molecular genotyping (approved by the FDA in the US) instead of reticulocyte separation, as genotyping is unaffected by recent transfusion.

Capt Jay's History, I have been fishing my whole life. I caught my first fish with my father, at the young age of 20 months. That first 2lb flounder was just the beginning I am a fourth generation fisherman, and fishing rod builder. Although, I am the first in my family to take fishing from an avocation to their primary vocation. My great grandfather was a rod builder, and I still have a few of his hand made split bamboo rods. Every fishing rod on the boat was built by myself.
My first paid fishing job was at the age of 13 as a second mate on the New Popeye, an 85 foot "party fishing boat".
Now at 40, I can honestly say that I have been fishing professionally for more than 27 years. I worked charter fishing boats throughout college in New Orleans. I then began grad school in Miami, first as a mate, then as a captain on charter boats. At that time I also spent a lot of time tournament fishing, both in the Gulf of Mexico (out of New Orleans) in the Bahamas, and out of Miami . My first charter boat was a 24foot Topaz "Sweet Gina". It had a single diesel engine, tuna tower, and ran daily trips for up to 3 anglers.
As an avid fisherman my most memorable job fishing came at the the age of 21. With a new 100ton U.S.C.G. captains license in my hand, I landed a job as captain of a 90 foot "party" fishing boat which ran three-day, and two-day long-range fishing trips, deep in the Bahamas. In charge of a five man crew, and up to 40 passengers, this job was a great learning experience. I stayed on that boat for seven seasons, and had the opportunity to catch just about very great fish available in the Gulf Stream. From a 9lb Yellow tail Snapper to a 90lb Black grouper, a 600+lbs Giant Blue Fin Tuna, to an 800+lbs Blue Marlin.
The Bahamian fishing season was only from the Spring to the Fall, so I spent most winters running charter fishing boats and commercial fishing in Miami. My second boat was a partnership in a 44 Striker named, " A Quit All". After running that boat for more than four years out of the Haulover Park Marina, I acquired sole ownership of my first full size charter fishing boat the "Spellbound".
Now, the most exiting chapter is about to be written… We spent more than two years first designing, then searching for just the right custom boat builder to build our all new completely custom designed Sports Fisherman. Our new boat was designed from nearly 30 years of experience to make the ultimate fishing machine while also making the most stable and comfortable platform for our customers. A year of design, another year finding the right builder, and a year to build the boat, our time has come and the ALL NEW Spellbound is here! Seven days hard running from Newton Boats in Slidell Louisiana and a lot of hard work and the 57′ brand new Spellbound is in service, USCG licensed & inspected for large groups. We are no longer limited to six passengers! So bring your friends and lets go fishing on the All New Newton Sports Fisherman hull #1 "SPELLBOUND".
My greatest accomplishments are some tournament wins like the first place fun fish boat in the Miami Billfish Tournament. Although possessing a few I.G.F.A. records, METT Tournament wins, and guiding customers to their own I.G.F.A. records, my favorite accomplishment was the discovery of a new species of Tile Fish. Experiencing the process of the research, and realization I had received the great honor of discovering an unknown fish. The icing on the cake was when I was given the privilege to name it (Bahama Tiger Tile). Another mile stone is my relationship with SIMRAD marine electronics. We have become one of their new equipment testing platforms and may have a small part in influencing how their equipment evolves.
Having fished many tournaments, wining several, and placing in many, it is charter fishing that I truly enjoy. Being able to help anglers catch there first Sailfish, break their own personal records, I.G.F.A. records, or the best of all catching a child or adult their first fish. That's the greatest part of professional fishing. But to me the most important part of charter fishingis to have fun !


This Thesis has been conducted essentially with a view to investigate the statisticsof cardiac paralysis in Diphtheria, so as to include all the interesting and important points: and also to ascertain the particular part which the heart itself plays in this condition.
I hope that as regards the heart, to be able to show that there are very definite and grave pathological conditions in the heart muscle, etc., and which seem to be always present in this form of cardiac paralysis.
As the investigations of cardiac paralysis statistics meant going over the whole of the cases of diphtheria in the case books of the hospital, I determined afterwards to do all the statistics of postdiphtheritic paralysis.

Q: How many password combination at least two different letters? Let's consider a system that requires 9 character long password.  and there are 0~9, a-z, A-Z and at least 2 different categories in the 9 characters' password.
I saw other questions with "at least one different letter" but since this requires at least 2 different categories
How can I find the combination of the passwords?

A: The total number of possible passwords is $(10 + 26 + 26)^9 = 62^9$
This number includes all the passwords with $1$, $2$ and $3$ categories. So, from this, we subtract the count of passwords with only one category of letters.
For $0-9$ category, we subtract $10^9$.
For $a-z$ category, we subtract $26^9$.
For $A-Z$ category, we subtract $26^9$.
Total: $\boxed{62^9 - 10^9 - 2 \cdot 26^9}$

A: Your question is worded oddly, so I'll reword it to make sure we're on the same page. I believe you're asking: "How many unique 9 character passwords exist are comprised exclusively of at least two of the following categories of characters: capital letters, lowercase letters, and numbers?".
Assuming this is your question, the way I would go about solving this is by finding the total number of 9 character alphanumeric passwords, $(26+26+10)^9=62^9\simeq1.354\times10^{16}$, then subtracting the number of 9 character passwords that use only one of the categories, $26^9+26^9+10^9\simeq1.086\times10^{13}$. This brings us to a value of roughly $1.353\times10^{16}$.
