Reclaiming heritage and home in Queen Anne Revival house in St-Esprit
Pascal Rochon grew up in St-Esprit, but never dreamed that "more than 30 years later, I along with my wife would be the new owners."
Perry Mastrovito, Special to the Montreal Gazette

This sumptuous Queen Anne Revival-inspired Victorian home was built in 1900 in the heart of the village of St-Esprit in Lanaudière by Avila Jeannot dit Lachapelle, a baker by trade. The prominent turret on the façade and the large veranda that surrounds the house, plus an abundance of woodwork details, mouldings, and other decorative architectural elements, give it a stately elegance.
Pascal Rochon grew up in St-Esprit, admiring the house from afar.
"I was far from suspecting that more than 30 years later, I along with my wife would be the new owners."
"Nathalie (Perreault) and I have always had an attraction for these beautiful old houses and we feel a strong will to preserve them. In 2000, the house was for sale, unfortunately having just finished our professional studies, the magnitude of the task of restoring the outside and the renovation work needed inside, scared us a bit," says Rochon. Fortunately for them, it went up for sale again a dozen years later, in 2012, and this time they didn't hesitate.

After taking possession, the couple consulted numerous books on restoration and repair work, including some that focused on Victorian homes. At the time of purchase, the house still had some of the original exterior and interior architectural elements. However, poor maintenance demanded urgently needed repairs. The couple set to work with the goal of preserving as many of the house's early 1900s features as possible while creating a pleasant living environment.
In order to highlight the woodworking details, the white façade and window were painted in contrasting colours (ochre yellow and green), respecting the colours of Victorian houses of the time. The century-old maple tree, rustic plants and bright yellow black-eyed Susan flowers recall the country character of the period. Inside, some of the floors were sandblasted or replaced and damaged plaster walls repaired. Scaffolding was erected to paint the woodwork and repoint the bricks. The rotten wood of the veranda etc., was replaced.
At first glance, the kitchen seems to be old and authentic, however, everything in this room is newly made to look old. Perry Mastrovito / Montreal Gazette
Working tirelessly, the couple even found time to make some furniture pieces. In short, except for the plumbing and electricity, they did just about everything else themselves and are very proud of what they accomplished. "Luckily for us, we also got some help from our parents, brothers and sisters, including some uncles and aunts," Rochon and Perreault said in unison.
The tea salon, off the living room, features the Récamier, or daybed, which takes its name from 19th-century French socialite Jeanne-Françoise Julie Adélaïde Récamier Perry Mastrovito / Montreal Gazette
The house, typical for this era, has three large living rooms, two of them with ceilings 3.1 m (10'2″) high. The main living room is on the ground floor and was furnished with near perfect symmetry: grey sofas facing each other, with a coffee table and fireplace forming a midline. On one wall hangs a framed vintage photo representing the village of St-Esprit. A Récamier in the tea salon right next to the living room lends a European influence. Often referred to as a daybed, it takes its name from Jeanne-Françoise Julie Adélaïde Récamier, a French socialite from the 19th century.
The large pine dining table, made by Rochon and Perreault, pairs perfectly with the black high-back Windsor-style chairs. Perry Mastrovito / Montreal Gazette
The kitchen looks authentic, but that should not be confused with "old." Though renovations had been done in the 1990s, Rochon and Perreault ripped everything out to install a new wide-plank pine floor, which they stained and oiled, and replaced the ceiling with white panelling. The cream-coloured antique-finished pine cabinets and green buffet were custom-made to integrate today's modern appliances. The cabinets, the island and the imposing sideboard were all made by Le Grenier Oublié in L'Épiphanie. The wood planks used for the countertop show the marks of the sawmill blade, giving it a real rustic look.
The facing grey sofas and central fireplace give the living room a strong symmetrical balance. Perry Mastrovito / Montreal Gazette
In the dining room, carpeting and many layers of paint were stripped from grand staircase to showcase the natural beauty of the wooden steps and handrail. The risers were painted white to give the stairs contrast and a chic look. The large pine table made by Rochon and Perreault pairs perfectly with the black high-back Windsor-style chairs.
The simple wooden double bed in the master bedroom is a reproduction that fits well with the antiques in the room. Perry Mastrovito / Montreal Gazette
Upstairs in the master bedroom, a simple wooden double bed is a reproduction that fits well with the dresser and other antiques in the room. The chest at the foot of the bed is a restored travel trunk from Rochon's great-grandparents on his father's side. The original glass window at the top of the door can be opened to allow for heat to circulate from the adjacent living room. White-painted baseboards — 30.48 cm (12 in) — stand out against the light walnut-stained fir floorboards.
In the main bathroom, the contrast between the black granite floor and white tub and ceramic wall tiles recalls the look of a vintage monochrome photograph. Perry Mastrovito / Montreal Gazette
Still on the same floor, the large and uncluttered main bathroom is striking in its simplicity. The contrast between the black granite floor and white ceramic wall tiles is reminiscent of a vintage monochrome photograph. The cast-iron claw-foot enamel bathtub is original, though it had to be resurfaced. The shower stall, however, was replaced with a more modern design, with the top of the glass door cut at the same angle as the ceiling.
Painted a soothing pale yellow and stocked with charming antique furniture, the small guest is bedroom is both inviting and comfortable. Perry Mastrovito / Montreal Gazette
The small guest bedroom was painted a soothing pale yellow, and outfitted with antique furniture, although the bed frame had to be modified to accommodate the dimensions of a modern mattresses.
Added two years ago, the veranda attached to the original brick wall at the back of the house was entirely built by Rochon and Perreault, including the table and benches. Only the sheet metal roof was entrusted to a contractor. But it looks as if it has always been there, thanks in large part to six antique windows salvaged from Rochon's grandfather's house. Contributing to the authentic look is a completely restored 100-year-old workbench, measuring about 10 feet long, that once belonged to a painter.

Rochon, who works as an urban planner, is deeply involved in highlighting the heritage value — and maintenance requirements — of the village's older homes, so they will be enjoyed not only in the present, but by future generations as well. Rochon and Perreault's dedication earned them the 2017 Thérèse-Romer Award from the APMAQ (Amis et propriétaires de maisons anciennes du Québec). This award is given out each year in recognition for the effort and quality of the work done in the restoration and safeguarding of an old residential property. Founded in 1980, the association also organizes house tours in various regions of the province for its members.

DSPL Gen is a command-line utility that helps convert a CSV data table into a simple DSPL dataset. The tool parses the input file, creates all of the necessary data tables, and lays out a DSPL XML file. The result is a nearly-complete dataset "template" that requires only minor refinement before uploading and visualizing.
The fundamental assumption behind DSPL Gen is that each column in the input CSV file corresponds to a single DSPL concept and each row is a single observation for a combination of dimensions. The tool works by iterating through the columns, establishing the appropriate metadata for each column / concept (e.g., its ID, type, whether it is a dimension or a metric, etc.) and then generating all of the necessary concept definition and slice tables.
Note: These directions assume that you have already followed the installation instructions given on the DSPL Tools page.
[output path]: Path to the directory where you'd like your output files to be placed; this directory must already exist in your file system.
[path to CSV file]: Path to your input CSV file. See the section below for more details on how to format this file.
The -o [output path] component is optional; if omitted, the output files will be placed in the current directory.
The tool then runs, iterating through your CSV file, extracting concept definitions and generating slice tables. Unless any errors are found, an XML file and one or more CSV files are written to the output directory.
Finally, open up the XML file in the text editor of your choice, and make any desired changes. At a minimum, you should fill in the names, descriptions, and other values that have been marked by the tool with the ** INSERT ... ** notation.
In this particular case, the tool is able to correctly guess all of the column types and formats. So, all that's left to do is go into the XML file and edit the various names, descriptions, and URLs in the dataset metadata.
In many cases, like the example above, DSPL Gen can guess the basic metadata for each column, e.g. the type, format, and whether it is a dimension or a metric. In other cases, however, the tool may not be able to guess these, may guess incorrectly, or may guess correctly but still, nonetheless, not follow the desired behavior.
In particular, note that the options list is placed inside brackets to the right of the column name, and the successive option settings are separated by semi-colons. Each option consists of an option name, an equals sign, and an option value.
The parent concept for this column. This parent must be a dimension concept defined inside the dataset (i.e., not imported); if given, this information will be used to define a concept hierarchy in the dataset.
Note that each child instance can only have one parent. If multiple parent values are detected then the tool will produce an error.
In addition to the basic, "hint" options described above, DSPL Gen also supports slice roll-ups: given a single table input, the tool can automatically create additional tables with limited subsets of the dimensions. So, for example, if your input table corresponds to a slice with three non-time dimensions (e.g., dimension1, dimension2, and dimensions3) the tool can create some additional slices as well: just dimension1, just dimension2, just dimension1 and dimension2, etc.
Adding these additional slices can make your dataset easier to explore since it reduces the number of dimension filters required to produce visualizations. On the other hand, this process may introduce "new" data not found in the original file, so it may also introduce errors if not used correctly; carefully check the rolled-up numbers before publishing your dataset.
Note that if there is only a single value in each grouping and the aggregating function is set to SUM (the default value), then the metric values in the source and generated tables will be the same, i.e. no new values are generated. Thus, using the total_val parameter and ensuring that there is only one "total" row for each combination of the other dimensions allows you to store pre-computed aggregates directly in the source.
Warning: The number of generated slices is equal to 2rolled up columns. Applying this option to a large number of columns may result in very long run times and/or large datasets.
The total for each age group may not match the sum of the country values because, for instance, of differences in methodology or the existence of other countries that aren't enumerated in the list.
Note that if we hadn't included the total values and the total_val tag in the source table, then we would have gotten the calculated sum for each age group.
In addition, the definition of disease_cases in the XML file now includes the extension from quantity:amount, as desired. The definition of country is dropped from the XML file because we're using an imported concept for this instead.
After filling in the various names, descriptions, and unit information, we can zip the dataset bundle and upload it to the Public Data Explorer for visualization.

\section{Observations}
The observations have been carried out on August 28th 2006 with FORS 1 at the VLT Kueyen.
This multi-mode instrument is equipped with polarization analyzing optics comprising super-achromatic
half-wave and quarter-wave phase retarder plates, and a Wollaston prism with a beam divergence of 22\arcsec{} in standard resolution mode.
The grism 600B and the grism 1200B were used, which cover all H Balmer lines from H$\beta$ to the Balmer jump.
Most stars have been observed with the grism 600B at a spectral resolution of 2000.
Since we had only one observing night, we decided to observe only the two most promising targets
with the grism 1200B at a resolving power of R$\sim$4000 and a blue limit at 3885\,\AA{}.
A more detailed description of this technique was given by Hubrig et al.\ (2004a, 2004b).

\section{Result}
Out of 13 stars, seven are likely weakly magnetic.
Magnetic fields in HD\,147084, HD\,148898 and HD\,159312 are detected at a 3$\sigma$ level (see Fig.~1),
while for HD\,174240 and HD\,224392 they are detected at a 2$\sigma$ level.
For HD\,186219 and HD\,217186 the detection has been achieved just below the 2$\sigma$ level.
The measurements for the five stars HD\,163336, HD\,172555, HD\,186219, HD\,217186 and HD\,224361
yielded no detection, but a close inspection revealed Zeeman features in several lines in the Stokes V spectra.
These stars are therefore promising targets for further observations.
Only HD\,159217 showed no sign of a magnetic field.
We found no correlation between the X-ray luminosity and the measured magnetic field strength.
We have to note that because of the strong dependence of the longitudinal field on the rotational aspect,
its usefulness to characterize actual field strength distributions is rather limited (Hubrig et al.\ 2007).
This can be overcome by additional future observations to sample various rotation phases.
On the other hand, those stars with a detected magnetic field possess X-ray emission which fits the predicted values from the model by Babel \& Montmerle.

When a disaster strikes, our four-legged friends are left to fend for themselves, and they sometimes end up lost, injured or killed. The best way to avoid this tragic scenario is to have a well-thought-out disaster plan that includes Fido so you know where to go and what to take.
"Many public shelters that are set up for disaster victims don't accept pets, so you need to find out in advance which shelters or hotels along your evacuation route will accept animals," says Lyman Munson, vice president of risk services for Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. "It is tragic, but people have actually died because they were ordered to evacuate a disaster area but stayed because they did not want to leave their pets."
The Fireman's Fund says, just as you should have a disaster kit for your family, you should prepare a similar kit for your pets, containing the following:
* Medication and medical records (including proof of rabies vaccination) in a waterproof container.
* Leashes, harnesses, crates and carriers for transporting your pet.
* A muzzle, if your pet requires one.
* Food and water for at least three days.
* Cat litter and litter box.
* Comfort toys.
* Recent photo of your pet in case you become separated.
* Name and phone number of your veterinarian.

New Research: Top causes of worldwide deaths
Noncommunicable diseases are the top cause of deaths worldwide, killing more than 36 million people in 2008. Cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 48 percent of deaths, cancers 21 percent, chronic respiratory diseases 12 percent and diabetes 3 percent.
-- World Health Organization
Before vaccines, polio would paralyze 10,000 children, measles would kill 3,000 and pertussis would kill thousands of infants each year. -- CHOP.edu
Health Tip: Do longer workouts burn more calories?
Many think the longer a workout lasts, the more calories burned. However, one hour of light exercise will likely burn fewer calories than a powerful 30-minute workout. For the average exerciser, working harder for a shorter period of time will be the better option, since people are often short on time.

Number to Know
6 million: In the U.S., about 6 million people, including teens, become infected with human papillomavirus, or HPV, each year, and 4,000 women die from cervical cancer. – American Academy of Pediatrics
Children's Health: AAP statement on HPV vaccine for girls
The American Academy of Pediatrics released this statement shortly after Gov. Rick Perry was criticized during a GOP presidential debate for issuing a 2007 order requiring sixth-grade girls in Texas to be vaccinated for human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease:
"The AAP would like to correct false statements made in the Republican presidential campaign that HPV vaccine is dangerous and can cause mental retardation. There is absolutely no scientific validity to this statement. (The vaccine) has an excellent safety record … (It is) recommended that girls receive HPV vaccine around age 11 or 12. That's because this is the age at which the vaccine produces the best immune response in the body, and because it's important to protect girls well before the onset of sexual activity."
Senior Health: Steer clear of these foods
As we age, our immune systems become weaker, which means older people are at a higher risk of developing a foodborne illness. To cut the risk, older adults should avoid these foods:
Rare, raw or undercooked meats and poultry
Raw fish and shellfish (e.g. sushi, sashimi, oysters, mussels)
Raw or undercooked eggs (e.g. soft-cooked, runny, poached)
Unpasteurized dairy products
Unpasteurized fruit and vegetable juices

After launching Stream2, while watching live TV, users can time-shift their viewing experience using Pause and Start Over, record programs using DVR, and watch programs that aired during the past 24 hours using Catch Up.
Time-shifting refers to several different features: pausing Live TV, rewinding and navigating through the duration of the current program, Start-over, and a Digital Video Recording feature.
Programs in the EPG that have the rights to use the Time-Shifting features are shown in the EPG with a counterclockwise arrow next to the program title.
After selecting program in the EPG, the time-shifting functions of Stream2 are exposed there, to the right of the Program Info. The right-facing Play icon plays the video. The red Target icon invokes recording, and the three vertical dots below the recording button exposes additional time-shifting functions, further explained below.
The three vertical dots below the red Target icon exposes the time-shifting "jawbone" sub-menu (with Play, Record, Start Over, Pause, and an icon to dismiss this panel). Recording can also be invoked directly from the Program Info panel, without exposing this jawbone sub-menu.
From the video player's Full Screen view, tap the screen to expose the controls for pause, start over, and channel change. Pause is indicated by the arrow. After pausing, this icon will change to a right-pointing arrow. Tap this icon to resume video play.
Tapping the counterclockwise arrow in the Full Screen video view will rewind the video back to the beginning.
A blue dot will appear on the timeline (also called the scrubber bar) at the bottom of the screen. The dot can be dragged left or right to take you to a specific place in the program.
Notice that the Start Over (counterclockwise arrow) button has turned into a Stop button. Pressing 'Stop' button takes you out of Start Over mode.
The mobile smartphone and tablet layouts are almost identical.
Catch-Up is a feature that lets you access programs that the Stream2 system recorded over the past 24 hours. Stream2 maintains a rolling 24 hour window of past programming, which is accessed via the EPG. Use of the EPG is detailed on a separate page.
This 24 hours of Catch Up programming resides ' in the cloud' (e.g. it is not resident in your device, so that the recorded video content doesn't use up any storage space there).
To access this past programming, go to the EPG as you did above, to view current TV programming. To access earlier programming, select the Channel Schedule for the desired channel, using the '>' icon on the right.
This displays the Channel Schedule. Now, scroll up to locate the earlier program that you want to play.
Select that program, to expose the Program Info panel with the white 'Play' icon, and tap on it to watch the program. It will begin playing in the Mini view at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the video thumbnail to bring it to Full Screen view.
For instructions on how to view and manage your recordings, proceed to the Media Library instructions page.

Old Church Street, Parramatta (Part 3), by James Jervis, Parramatta Historical Society.
The section at the south-eastern corner of Church and Phillip Streets was granted to Captain Phillip P. King on June 30, 1823. A substantial cottage stood on this site hence the issue of a grant. On July 31, 1823 this building was advertised as to let. It was then said to be occupied by the Rev Thomas Hassall, son of Rowland Hassall. The property was advertised as for sale in the "Herald" of March 15, 1838, and it was then occupied by Dr. Bute Stewart, a well-known medical man of early Parramatta.
The land between Captain King's portion and George Street was … granted to Richard Rouse on June 30. 1823. Rouse applied for a grant on May 27, 1823, on the ground that the buildings were agreeable to the general unit. Rouse evidently occupied the building, as he was Superintendent of Government Works for many years in the old town.
Mr. Rouse leased the house to the Government for use as Courthouse in 1824 and it was used for this purpose for many years. When the building was vacated by the Government, Charles Fairs announced in the "Herald" of March 27, 1839 that he would carry on business in the premises.
The land at the south western corner of Church and George Streets has a somewhat varied history. It is impossible to slate for what purpose the barrack which stood on this site wii originally used. Some years after the building was demolished, one, Ann Ewers, occupied it, apparently with the consent of the then Surveyor-General, John Oxley, and in 1832 a small wooden house stood on the site. This occupation was irregular, and no lease was issued. It was in fact one of the reserves made 1823. The original intention appears to have been to erect a watch house on the land, but the idea was abandoned, and soon after it was set aside as a market reserve. Dr. Lang applied to the Governor for a site for the erection of a church, and this land was granted for thi. purpose. At this stage, William Aird, Superintendent of Works here in the thirties, entered a claim which he was able to substantiate. This claim was upheld and Aird became the owner. The block was subdivided in I842, and the corner section, purchased by William Paisley for £400.
This allotment was formally leased to William Sherwin on June 30, 1823, so It b probable that the leasee had erected a building of some kind on it. J. Tingeombe acquired the land, and having constructed a house, which he considered worth £1000, applied for a grant in April, 1836. The Surveyor-General did not consider the building worth £1000, and the matter was referred to the Government architect.
Adjoining Sherwin's block was a section leased to Charles Whalan. This lay between James Wright's lease, nt the corner of Macquarie Street, and Sherwin's land.
A section at the corner of Macquarie and Church Streets, the south eastern corner, was granted to Daniel Cooper on June 30, 1823. From this it is evident that a valuable building had been erected on the land. It was advertised for sale on December 5, 1827. A seven-roomed two storey house stood on this section, and was then owned by R. Howe, of the Sydney Gazette.
John Wylde, lot no. 46, section 18, George Street; Chas. Walker, lot no. 91, section 21, George Street. This was the site on which the Red … Cow Inn stood.. Wm. Watkins, lot no. 21, section 17, George Street; Andrew Nash. lot no. ??, section 20, on which the well-known "Woolpack Inn" had been erected; Jas. Elder, lot no. 18, section 16, George Street; John Ellison, lot no. 47, section 18, George Street; Gcorge Howell, lot no.6GO, section 23, George street; John Jones, lot no. 5, section 13, George Street.
Between 1823 and 1830 no further grants appear to hnvc been made but from 1830 the town lands were gradually sold to persons wh0 had, in many cases, purchased from leaseholders the leases issued during Brisbane's regime. The town lands of Parramatta provided much work for the Court of Claims, which was set up to deal with cases arising out of land disputes, and even at this late date, the Parramatta lands provide work for the legal gentlemen.

There are few dreams more significant for young couples than home ownership. For Leilani and Cameron Aktepy, their dream came true when they bought their first home in Tehaleh.
"We had been renting for several years and knew we really wanted to own," Leilani added.
As the Puget Sound's best-selling community of new single-family homes, Tehaleh offers a premier Pacific Northwest living experience.
The community offers a wide variety of home choices and prices to choose from.
For buyers looking for an outdoor lifestyle and a place to establish roots in a tight-knit, welcoming community, Tehaleh is ideal. The Aktepys were attracted to the community's elementary school, more than 10 parks, more than 20 miles of trails and stunning views of Mount Rainier.
Cameron and Leilani most enjoy walking the trails that connect the community.
The Aktepys worked with Quadrant Homes to choose their lot, the perfect floor plan and all of their finishes. Leilani shared, "We were impressed that our home came standard with many high-end, designer finishes.
Their favorite features are the wood floors and fully-fenced yard, both of which were important features for their dogs and cats. "We were able to design every detail, and we loved that our house was customized to us," said Leilani.
Knowing their family intended to grow, they settled on a home they knew would allow them to expand.

Texas Tech researchers testing new, innovative application for l
Texas Tech researchers testing new, innovative application for low-quality cotton
Tuesday, October 8, 2019 5:24 PM EDT
Cotton is king in West Texas, but with heavy flooding last harvest, many farmers lost the quality of their crop.
That is why Noureddine Abidi and his team of researchers at the Texas Tech Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute are testing a new application for low-quality cotton.
If the cotton is graded high enough, it goes into processing for products like clothes, but if the crop is poor or damaged by weather, it goes to the chemistry lab for a different purpose -- plastic.
"We press it to remove the water and then we turn that to a plastic film so it has the appearance of a petroleum-based film. It is 100% cotton, meaning that when it degrades, it will degrade in CO2 and water, so it will not give up anything else towards the environment except what we can find in the soil," Abidi said.
He added this would be the first time cotton has been used as a plastic, calling this alternative a gamechanger in the industry, as it provides much-needed insurance for farmers.
"This is really a value added to low-graded cotton. While it doesn't replace high-quality cotton that has its own market, this is really something that will be discounted otherwise and likely wouldn't be sold," Abidi said.
Therefore, Abidi said no matter how difficult harvest season or the weather may be, he said his team's research indicates a strong message for all cotton farmers.
"Every bale that is produced will have a value. If it is not premier cotton for textile processing, it will be used to make a new, advanced for product for a new application," Abidi said.
Texas is the nation's number one cotton producing state, and Abidi said his team's research to find new applications for the crop will help protect each farmer's investment.

"Out of Touch: Depletion of Mechanosensors Drives Wound-Healing and Cancer"

Abstract: Loss of matrix rigidity sensing in tumor cells enables transformed growth. In over forty tumor lines tested, they lack rigidity sensing complexes because components are altered (about 60% had low Tpm 2.1). The rigidity sensing complex (about 2 m in length) contracts matrix adhesions by ~100nm; and if the force generated is greater than ~25 pN, then cells can grow (Wolfenson et al., 2016. Nat Cell Bio. 18:33). However, if the surface is soft, then the cells apoptose by DAPK1 activation (Qin et al., 2018 BioRxiv. 320739). Although tumor cells grow on soft surfaces, restoration of rigidity sensing restores rigidity-dependent growth (Yang, B. et al., 2020 Nature Mat. 19: 239). Surprisingly, mechanical stretch of transformed cancer cells activates apoptosis through calpain-dependent apoptosis (Tijore et al., 2018 BioRxiv. 491746). Thus, stretch sensitivity is a weakness of cancer cells related to transformation and not to the tissue type or other factors.

Data from: Genetic inviability is a major driver of type-III survivorship in experimental families of a highly fecund marine bivalve
Louis V. Plough, Grace Shin & Dennis Hedgecock
The offspring of most highly fecund marine fish and shellfish suffer substantial mortality early in the life cycle, complicating prediction of recruitment and fisheries management. Early mortality has long been attributed to environmental factors and almost never to genetic sources. Previous work on a variety of marine bivalve species uncovered substantial genetic inviability among the offspring of inbred crosses, suggesting a large load of early-acting deleterious recessive mutations. However, genetic inviability of randomly bred offspring...

Data from: Extreme QTL mapping of germination speed in Arabidopsis thaliana
Wei Yuan, Jonathan M. Flowers, Dustin J. Sahraie, Ian M. Ehrenreich & Michael D. Purugganan
Seed germination is a key life history transition for annual plants and partly determines lifetime performance and fitness. Germination speed, the elapsed time for a nondormant seed to germinate, is a poorly understood trait important for plants' competitiveness and fitness in fluctuating environments. Germination speed varied by 30% among 18 Arabidopsis thaliana populations measured, and exhibited weak negative correlation with flowering time and seed weight, with significant genotype effect (P < 0.005). To dissect the...

Data from: Adaptation in isolated populations: when does it happen and when can we tell?
Jessica L. Crisci, Matthew D. Dean & Peter Ralph
Isolated populations with novel phenotypes present an exciting opportunity to uncover the genetic basis of ecologically significant adaptation, and genomic scans have often, but not always, led to candidate genes directly related to an adaptive phenotype. However, in many cases these populations were established by a severe bottleneck, which can make identifying targets of selection problematic. Here, we simulate severe bottlenecks and subsequent selection on standing variation, mimicking adaptation after establishment of a new small...

Data from: Recovery from hybrid breakdown in a marine invertebrate is faster, stronger and more repeatable under environmental stress
AnnMarie S. Hwang, Victoria Pritchard, Suzanne Edmands & V. L. Pritchard
Understanding how environmental stress alters the consequences of hybridization is important, because the rate of hybridization and the likelihood of hybrid speciation both appear elevated in harsh, disturbed or marginal habitats. We assessed fitness, morphometrics and molecular genetic composition over 14 generations of hybridization between two highly divergent populations of the marine copepod Tigriopus californicus. Replicated, experimental hybrid populations in both control and high salinity conditions showed a decline in fitness, followed by a recovery....

Sharp increases in atmospheric CO2 are resulting in ocean warming, acidification and deoxygenation that threaten marine organisms on continental margins and their ecological functions and resulting ecosystem services. The relative influence of these stressors on biodiversity remains unclear though, as well as the threshold levels for change and when secondary stressors become important. One strategy to interpret adaptation potential and predict future faunal change is to examine ecological shifts along natural gradients in the modern...

The capacity to tolerate freezing temperatures limits the geographical distribution of many plants, including several species of agricultural importance. However, the genes involved in freezing tolerance remain largely unknown.

Baptist children's ministries plan for uncertain future
by Brian Koonce, posted Friday, February 14, 2020 (2 years ago)
Tags: children's ministryfoster careadoption
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been corrected since its original posting.
BRIDGETON, Mo. (BP) -- Religious liberty can seem an abstract concept, but consider Kevin.
"I want a Christian family," Kevin told the KOLR TV audience in Decmeber. "Just get ahold of Ms. Krystal and tell her that you want to adopt me, and she'll try to get it figured out." Kevin has been affiliated with the Missouri Baptist Children's Home for 10 years.
Screen capture from KOLR
Kevin is one of more than 13,000 children in Missouri's foster care system. Kevin has been waiting for adoption since he was 6. That was 10 years ago. Back in December, Kevin appeared on KOLR Channel 10 in Springfield, Mo. In a weekly segment, the station features foster kids like Kevin, who are in search of a home and forever family.
After footage rolled of Kevin working behind the scenes at school theatrical productions and taking a turn at the weather man's green screen, he looked at the anchor interviewing him about what kind of family he might want and asked a question: "Can I say something?"
"Of course," she said, as Kevin turned to face the camera.
"I want a Christian family," the high school sophomore said. "Just get ahold of Ms. Krystal and tell her that you want to adopt me, and she'll try to get it figured out."
"Ms. Krystal" is Krystal Neal, Kevin's caseworker and an employee of the Missouri Baptist Children's Home Children and Family Ministries (MBCH), which handles Kevin's case through a contract with the state. Because of MBCH's mission to serve God by responding to the needs of children, youth and families, thousands of foster kids like Kevin have been served not just by the Department of Social Services, but by caseworkers and foster families that know a God-centered family is the one that works best.
During 2019, MBCH helped 187 children find permanent homes (76 reunified with family, 24 through guardianships, and 87 through adoption). More than a thousand families were part of the MBCH extended family through the foster care, crisis pregnancy and human trafficking rescue ministries. Each person touched by MBCH heard the Gospel.
Kevin's story caused nearly every eye to tear up during the Jan. 28 MBCH trustee meeting. But even as they prayed for a family for Kevin and praised God for the Christian influence he clearly has in his life, they contemplated a time when state regulations may make such work difficult or even impossible.
Trustees began developing a five-year strategic plan for MBCH and its affiliates to be finalized by the end of the year. Threats from those who feel Christian values and mission do not have a place in the public sphere means this strategic plan is coming at a crucial time.
For example, MBCH and its subsidiary ministries receive funding through the Cooperative Program (Southern Baptists' unified giving channel) and the Missouri Missions Offering, as well as through gifts and donations from individuals.
While these are vital sources of funding, the bulk of funding comes from bidding on contracts through the state's Department of Social Services. Should a day come when the state or federal overseers object to MBCH's enforcement of its statement of faith on its employees and integrating it into its services, the entity must develop a plan to continue serving with dramatically reduced revenue streams.
Critics of faith-based ministries like MBCH receiving state funds argue that Christians wrongfully discriminate and turn away otherwise qualified prospective parents based on sexual orientation, gender identity and religion. Many would like to see an end to public money supporting such groups.
It's a day MBCH trustees hope and pray never arrives, but it's not that farfetched. In Kentucky, Sunrise Children's Services, a Southern Baptist children's home, has been embroiled in a legal battle after the American Civil Liberty Union brought suit against them in 2000. Like MBCH, Sunrise provides foster care, therapeutic treatment, residential care and community-based services and does so with state contracts. A federal judge dismissed the suit in May of 2018, but the case is still looming, with the ACLU claiming that Sunrise forces religion on children and does so with state funds.
On the federal level, MBCH and many of its sister organizations opposed the Every Children Deserves a Family Act introduced in Congress this past summer. If passed, the law would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and religion.
MBCH leaders don't see the bill getting much traction, but elections this fall could change that.
"If these laws become effective and begin to affect us as an agency, how will we do services?" said Ron Robinson, chairman of the MBCH board and pastor of First Baptist Church in Van Buren, Mo. "If we no longer get contracts from the state because we've discriminated on sexual orientation and religious beliefs, how will we serve these kids? We want to be proactive and not to get caught where we have to make a sudden decision. We are beginning to walk through that and we're beginning to say, this is the red line; this is what we can't cross over. This is how we're going to do ministry, this is how we're going to provide services."
MBCH president Russell Martin said the tension between standing firm on Christian convictions and the cries of discrimination is a frequent topic of discussion among the leaders of Baptist children's ministries such as MBCH and Sunrise. He said they all desire to be proactive, not reactive to any potential threats.
"God has a plan for MBCH," Martin said. "We're not where we were 134 years ago, when the Baptist Orphan's Home opened its doors. I will have been here 43 years in June and we're not the same as we were then; things have changed. Even in the last five years, things have changed. In the next five years, things are going to change.
"God has a plan and we want to be sensitive to His will, and seek His face and direction. It may be that we will be sitting in this meeting five years from now and nothing will have changed. I think things will change, and hopefully there will be good changes."

Greater helps kids and Jets play in Nelson Bay More than 140 local kids were treated to some free coaching from Newcastle Jets' players and coaching staff at Nelson Bay on Tuesday afternoon thanks ... Local training program gives kids skills for rural jobs A local youth work-readiness training program is making some inroads into the region's youth unemployment with three of its current intake of 14 ... Business support for Newcastle Jets The Greater is urging the business community to get behind the rebuilding of the Newcastle Jets Football Club by becoming members.
Find out more about Community Round and get your tickets today!
The Greater Building Society and Newcastle Jets are urging Jets' fans and other members of the community to get along to the next Jets' home game on December 13 to support the work done to help local people living with cerebral palsy and their families.
The Round 10 clash against Melbourne City is the Jets' community round. It will raise funds for and highlight the work done by local Cerebral Palsy Alliance programs.
On December 8, some of the young people with cerebral palsy who will form the guard of honour for the team on game day, will come and watch the Jets train and get to meet the players.
The Jets' major community partner Greater Building Society has arranged for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance to be the beneficiary of the community round. Those in the guard of honour are involved in the Greater/Cerebral Palsy Alliance mentoring programs for young local people that are funded by the Greater Charitable Foundation.
The Greater's Head of Marketing Matt Hingston said there will be an opportunity for fans to throw some coins in a bucket at the Cerebral Palsy Alliance marquee to support local Cerebral Palsy Alliance services run from the Stuart Centre at Croudace Bay and its office at East Maitland.
The Greater is also paying for new playing shirts so the Jets can auction the shirts worn by the players during the match to raise funds for Cerebral Palsy Alliance. He said The Greater and Jets are also organising lots of fun and interactive things for kids and families to do at the game including a celebrity kick for cash competition at half time.
"I urge fans and other community members to head to the stadium and support the Jets in this important game and help others doing so much to help people in our community," Mr Hingston said.

Nigeria, Mali make Olympic progress
Nigeria showed their strength away from home with a hard-fought 0-0 draw in Congo at the weekend to advance 2-1 on aggregate in an Olympic Football Tournament qualifier.
In November, Nigeria will join hosts Senegal, Algeria, Egypt, Mali, South Africa, Tunisia and Zambia at an Olympic tournament, with three 2016 Rio Games places up for grabs.
After wasting many first-leg chances, their coach Samson Siasia vowed that his team would attack a Congolese side guided by veteran French coach Claude Le Roy at Stade Municipal in Atlantic oil hub Pointe-Noire.
Keeping that promise, the visitors spent much of the opening half on the offensive with Usman Mohammed, Daniel Etor and Oghenekaro Etebo threatening to score. Even during a more balanced second half, Nigeria created the better chances and substitute Aminu Umar squandered a late chance to win the second leg.
Nigeria have been the most successful African football nation at the Olympics, winning the 1996 Atlanta tournament and finishing runners-up to Argentina in Beijing seven years ago.
Mali followed up a solitary-goal away victory over Gabon by winning the return match 2-0 at Stade Modibo Keita in Bamako.
The Gabonese had to score first to have a realistic chance of salvaging the tie, and they did after 68 minutes. Unfortunately for the visitors, the goal came at the wrong end of the pitch with Mboudou Karl putting the ball into his net.
Adama Traore added a second Mali goal a minute from time to earn his team an easier-than-expected passage to Senegal for the 28 November-12 December tournament. Mali qualified once for the Olympics football tournament, topping a 2004 Athens group before losing to Italy in the quarter-finals.

Breakthrough in cancer research
IndiatimesUpdated on Nov 07, 2011, 19:16 IST
LONDON: An Indian-origin scientist-led team claims to have discovered a radical way of knocking out cancer cells and leaving healthy ones unharmed, a breakthrough which could pave the way for new treatments for the most aggressive forms of the disease such as pancreatic or breast cancer.
Dr Srinivasan Madhusudan and colleagues at University of Nottingham have found that blocking an enzyme, which repairs genetic material in cells, enabled them to kill cancer cells containing faulty genes -- in fact, they focused on inherited cancer-causing genes known as BRCA1 and BRCA2.
These two genes cause up to 10 per cent of breast cancers which are more often fatal than non-genetic tumours.
In their research, the scientists found that blocking a cell repair enzyme called APE1 with special molecules they had developed stopped two repair routes at once.
The discovery enabled them to kill BRCA cells, which normally multiply out of control because they have a faulty "repair kit", allowing damaged cells to accumulate faults. The molecules were tested on breast, pancreatic and cervical cancer cells, the 'Daily Express' reported.
"This study provides the first evidence that APE1 is an important new target. Not only could these molecules provide a basis for new drugs but they could help 'soften up' cells from many cancer types to boost the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy," Dr Madhusudan said.
Traditional cancer treatments kill affected cells by damaging their DNA, so repair inhibitors based on the new techniques are vital in the battle to wipe them out more effectively. Drugs called PARP inhibitors already use this approach by stopping the PARP protein, which is part of the DNA "emergency repair kit" in a cell.
Delyth Morgan, head of the Breast Cancer Campaign, which part-funded the research, said: "Currently there are limited options available to patients and this potential new treatment could provide a real lifeline and a better chance of survival, which can only be good news."

Airport officials have unveiled the new passenger terminal at Wichita Dwight D Eisenhower National Airport in Kansas, USA, after nearly three years of construction. The new state-of-the-art terminal is spread across two levels and features 12 aircraft gates and boarding lounges.
The design of the building is meant to evoke the motion of flight, with a curvilinear roof form sweeping upwards from the center of the terminal. Below this is a 330ft long art sculpture composed of cable and laminated dichroic glass, which spans between columns under the skylights. The art is intended to evoke images and feelings of flight and space as well as ascent and descent. Light from the skylights above will provide a continual changing color pattern on the walls and floor below.
The new terminal includes: a spacious ticketing wing with self-service check-in kiosks, 786 in-seat charging outlets, larger public restrooms and free wi-fi throughout. It also has a large selection of new food and beverage outlets including Air Capital Bar, Chick-Fil-A, Dunkin' Donuts, Grab & Fly and River City Brewing Co, and features retail outlets such as CNBC Smart Shop, CNBC News Express, Air Capital Market and the Wichita Luxury Collection.

Biden, on a First Trip to Asia, Tries to Refocus on China Amid Ukraine War
Alley EinsteinMay 19, 2022
WASHINGTON — President Biden travels to Asia this week for the first time since taking office, as he tries to focus attention on his top foreign policy priority, countering China – a task that has been overshadowed by the war in China. Ukraine.
During the trip, which begins Thursday, Mr. Biden will visit Japan and South Korea, close allies that have sought greater American involvement in the region. Mr. Biden will also strengthen partnerships with Australia and India and formally announce an economic initiative designed to boost trade and investment with the region, although some allies and Partners gave mixed reviews about the plan because of the lack of specifics and the failure to expand access to the US market.

How to overcome the Writer's Block?
Not just amateur writers but also the experienced and seasoned authors face this unpleasant phenomenon called the Writer's Block. It is so annoying and frustrating that even drives many authors to give up midway. The main contributing reason to such a block is stress. But the good news here, is that you can overcome it. All it takes is a little practice, patience and an iron strong will. Here are some of the things you could try.
How to come up with Story Ideas?
There will be many aspiring authors who want to write a story but fall short of inspiration. Many seasoned authors too, stare blankly on their notepad or their screens, or wander around for inspiration. But they eventually come around with excellent stories and plots. Where do they get their inspiration from? Allow us to share some methods that you can employ to get inspired. Here are some of the things you could try.
The story without its characters is nothing. The more your readers love/hate (in case of an antagonist/villain) your characters, the more successful your story will be. So it is of paramount importance to the author to carefully create her characters especially the narrator and the protagonist.
We are all surrounded by stories. Each person we meet has a story to tell. Each moment or circumstance we live or experience, tells us a story. Our dreams whilst we sleep, tells us a story. In such a case, if dreams originate from our subconscious, then we are all automatically wonderful story tellers to ourselves. Each of the stories have immense potential to influence and inspire some more stories. Most times they are subtle and not very evident. How carefully do we listen to all these, is a question to be asked. Here are some steps that could help you write your first story.

Frances Christina Barnato, known as Fannie or Fanny, was born on 30th March 1859 in Simonstown, South Africa. She had a difficult childhood in there as she had at least six other siblings and her mother died in 1885. Fanny worked as a barmaid and actress in South Africa.
Her father then moved the family to Kimberley. This is where she met her future husband and industrialist Barney Barnato.

The couple married in Johannesburg in 1889. The couple subsequently emigrated to England. In November 1892 their Civil Marriage took place at Chelsea Registry Office in London, England.
Fanny and Barney had three children. Leah Primrose was born in 1893. Isaac 'Jack' Henry Woolf was born in 1894 and Joel 'Babe' Woolf Barnato was born in 1895.
Barney died in 1897, aged forty six. He died at sea, on route to the United Kingdom. It is suspected he committed suicide. His family reject the suicide theory, citing it as against his character.
Following the sudden death of her husband, Fanny and her children moved to Brighton to 4 Adelaide Mansions in 1899. She never re-married.
During the First World War, Fanny established a hospital at 38 Adelaide Crescent in Hove. This hospital was named the Hove Military Hospital and could care for twenty wounded soldiers at a time.
Later, Fanny moved from Brighton in 1918. It is unclear where she moved to as a final location, although in the 1911 census she was visiting Matlock in Derbyshire and later dates show her in London. Other dates from various censuses show her in a variety of places:
1901 census – Bournemouth
1911 census – Matlock Derbyshire
1914 war pension – Hove
1935, 38 & 39 electoral registers – Marylebone London
The Jewish Chronicle mentioned Fanny in their paper published on 7 July 1919. It writes;
'Mrs. Barney Barnato is the eighty-year-old widow of the South African pioneer of last century, Mr. Barney Barnato, about whom a witty schoolfellow of his early days observed that he began and ended his days in [unclear], for he was born in what was then Petticoat Lane and was building his house in Park Lane when he died. Mrs. Barnato recently gave a cocktail party to celebrate her birthday. She is a South African by birth, and knew Rhodes and Kruger personally. Her photograph as a young woman is cemented beneath a corner-stone at the top of the late Sir Philip Sassoon's house in Park Lane, which was built by the late Mr. Barnato, and it was placed there by him and Mrs. Barnato for which purpose they were hoisted aloft by crane!'
Fanny died on 21 December 1943, aged 84. She is buried at Willesden United Synagogue Cemetery, the same cemetery as her late husband.
Upon her death, Fanny left £94,447 in her will. Today, that amount would be worth around £4.2million when accounting for inflation.

The vortex mechanics of your planet and solar system are speeding up, and as a result, time as you know it, is morphing. At the same time, there are developments and changes on Earth, and also in other sectors, that are affecting your destiny and the choices you will need to make.
These changes are occurring at such a rapid rate it is not possible to keep current with them in the old way. We are therefore instituting a system of planetary updates, which will appear regularly on this web site. We cannot say with what frequency or in what pattern they will appear. So we suggest you check this web site regularly if you are interested in such matters. As we conceive of this in the moment, we plan to address specific developments, as well as inner technologies that you may utilize to ride the waves.
We gave this information in several workshops, but now feel it is timely to bring it to all who are interested. Holons are specific geometric shapes that are third dimensional in nature and affect consciousness in specific ways. By consciousness, please understand that we do not mean simply your mind, as you understand it, but all aspects of the self, including bodily intelligence, i.e. DNA.
Holons are created in the realm of your mind or imagination, but they compel energy to flow in distinct ways. Given the increasingly disturbing forces upon your earth, we wish to give you simple instruction for two holons.
The first has to do with stabilizing your internal energy, especially your emotions, when you experience volatile events, either directly around you or in the biosphere, for you will find that events taking place in other areas of the world will have increasingly stronger effects than before. This has to do with the increase of perceived interconnectedness. Whether you like it or not, it is becoming more clear that you are one planetary family, indeed we would go so far as to say, you are one planetary body. Thus, catastrophic events elsewhere will affect you more directly, depending upon your level of awareness, sensitivity, and type of boundaries.
We would say that the highest form of riding these waves of change is not through resistance or isolation, for these actually create greater levels of fatique. It is rather allowing the energies of change to move around you and through you without attachment to your old pictures or ideas of how they should be. As we mention, the first holon is for the purposes of stabilizing your energy. The second holon we wish to instruct you in strengthens the immune system.
This is based upon a specific platonic solid known as the octahedron. The octahedron consists of two square-based pyramids connected at the base with one pyramid pointing down and the other pyramid pointing up. They are exact mirror images of each other. This specific three-dimensional geometry occurs naturally in nature, especially in the forms of some crystals, atomic and molecular bonds. It is, by nature, a very stable shape. It is, esoterically speaking, the meeting and balancing of male and female polarity, heaven and earth.
In order to create this holon, you sense or imagine a line that goes through the top of the head down through the center of the body, down through the perineum past the feet. The central line is the axis of the octahedron.
You sense or imagine the base of the pyramids at the level of your waist, so that the upper part of your body is inside the upper pyramid and the lower pyramid surrounds the lower part of your body. It does not matter how large you make the pyramid, so long as your whole body is inside it. It does not matter how you orient the corners. As you imagine yourself inside this octahedron, imagine feelings of safety and comfort. Practice holding the geometry of the octahedron in your imagination as you recall the feelings of safety and comfort. Practice this daily if you wish to master it. Create the holon, add the feelings of safety and comfort and then intensify them. Do this until just imagining the holon brings the feelings. Then you will find that you can create the holon whenever you wish, and it will impart to you these feelings of comfort and safety, and by it's own nature, the holon will compel the subtle energies within you to reach toward a state of balance.
In future communications we will offer specific suggestions on how to ride the waves of change. This first holon is best conceived of as "a kind of life saver." It is not the most powerful or elegant way of moving through the changes that are coming your way, but it can be very helpful, especially for those who have not learned yet how to shift into the interdimensionality of their being.
Due to the destruction of your eco-system and other repercussions of the misuse of your technology, bacteria and viruses are mutating at a record rate, and new forms are appearing. This holon has a powerful effect upon your immune system. It is not meant to be a substitution for taking care of yourself, but it is an adjunct; and if you find yourself getting ill, this holon can be of great benefit.
Essentially it is a cylinder that runs around you, from just above your head to just below your feet. At the top of the cylinder the shape bends forward like a banana, facing to the front. At the bottom of the cylinder the shape moves in the opposite direction from the top. So if you were to look at it from the side it would look very much like a banana that had been twisted around. Some call it the dolphin holon. You sense this shape around your body, holding the impression that it is a silver color, very much like a silver mylar balloon. This silver color does not need to be seen, but only needs to be imagined. It is specifically related to the anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties of colloidal silver. Sense this holon around you, and when your mind wanders, bring it back to the sense of the holon. This specific geometry causes the subtle energies within you to be calmed, and at the same time energized in a specific way that strengthens the immune system. We suggest you add this to your "first aid kit", so to speak.
We wish to leave you in this moment with these final thoughts: As the chaos upon your earth increases, do not be distressed. This is a natural process of shifting from one dimension into another. Spiritual mastery is the ability to deal with new situations in creative ways. Anything less than this is of no benefit. You must find new ways to deal with your life and what is happening in the world around you.
The choices you make will determine your destiny. It is really that simple. As many around you spiral into despair and confusion, a strange opportunity opens. It is possible to ride the waves of change through the upcoming volatile periods of chaos with humor, grace and extraordinary growth. The power to do this does not come from the outside. It comes from the inside, but like a miner searching for gold you have to go digging. To find the treasure that will make you rich, in terms of spiritual qualities and an increased likelihood of surviving these times, requires searching on your part, not outside yourself, but inside yourself, for you already have what you need. The suggestions we will make in the coming months are simply helpful hints for you to solve the riddle that is you, and hopefully, one day soon, if you are not already howling with laughter, you will get the cosmic joke, and with a squeal of delight you will awaken from your slumber, step out of this dream, and into a new one, or better yet, wake up altogether.

- Oxygen, an atmospheric gas, increases saturation of hemoglobin oxygen, and when used at therapeutic concentrations, could aid the oxygenation of certain tissues as long as the patient's not in shock or has some other complication like carbon monoxide poisoning, which could effect the distribution or reception of oxygen molecules within the body and its cells. So, let's look at some of the indications for oxygen therapy. The primary indications for the usage of oxygen in PALS is the presence of hypoxemia, which would be representative of an SpO2 less than 94%, severe respiratory depression, or distress as in asthma, respiratory distress, or depression as in opioid overdose. When administering oxygen therapy after the return of spontaneous circulation, otherwise known as ROSC, or "rosc," it's important to deliver sufficient oxygenation to maintain an SpO2 that's greater than or equal to 94%. So, what are some of the precautions and contra-indications? There are few, if any, known contra-indications for oxygen use in the true hypoxic patient. Precautions should be based on new and ongoing research revealing the vasoconstrictive properties that hyperoxia may produce. If we begin to hyper-oxygenate a normoxic cardiac patient, some theories and studies are indicating that we could be causing lower oxygen absorption and distribution to vital organs that need oxygenation. So, what's the pediatric dosage? The appropriate dose of oxygen is dependent upon the needs of the patient and their unique oxygen requirements. That being said, oxygen has several different methods for delivery, and the percentage of oxygenation is regulated by the flow of oxygen per minute and the delivery adjunct used. If oxygen delivery by nasal cannula is indicated, it would be delivered at a rate of 2 to 6 L/min. If a nonrebreather mask is used, the flow rate is increased to 10 to 15 L/min. Delivery of oxygenation in ventilations would be delivered via a positive pressure device like a bag valve mask. In this case, oxygen flow should be set at 15 L/min. It's important that under current guidelines we are titrating oxygen therapy to maintain an SpO2 of at least 94%. It's also vital to remember that a restricted airway will effect the therapeutic response of oxygenation treatment. Use of basic or advanced airway adjunct may be needed in order to open or maintain an open and patent airway in order to treat the patient effectively. Remember to monitor the patient's signs and symptoms, not just the monitor. In other words, if the SpO2 reads 92%, but the skin appears to be normal, then maybe they have an underlying blood disorder like anemia, which can impede the cyanosis due to a lack of hemoglobin and give an inaccurate appearance of adequate oxygenation.

    @Autowired
    private DataSource dataSource;

    @Autowired
    private BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder;

    public AuthorizationServerConfiguration() {
        super();
    }

    @Bean
    public TokenStore tokenStore() {
        return new JdbcTokenStore(dataSource);
    }

    // config

    @Override
    public void configure(final AuthorizationServerSecurityConfigurer oauthServer) {
        oauthServer.passwordEncoder(this.passwordEncoder)
                .tokenKeyAccess("permitAll()")
                .checkTokenAccess("isAuthenticated()");
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(final ClientDetailsServiceConfigurer clients) throws Exception {
        clients.jdbc(dataSource);
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(AuthorizationServerEndpointsConfigurer endpoints) {
        endpoints.tokenStore(tokenStore())
                .authenticationManager(authenticationManager)
                .userDetailsService(userDetailsService);
    }
}

My resource server looks as follows:
@Configuration
@EnableResourceServer
public class ResourceServerConfiguration extends ResourceServerConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private TokenStore tokenStore;

    @Override
    public void configure(ResourceServerSecurityConfigurer security) throws Exception {
        security.tokenStore(tokenStore);
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        //@formatter:off
            http
            .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/roles/**").hasRole("INTERNAL")
            .antMatchers("/priveleges/**").hasRole("INTERNAL")
            .antMatchers("/gameSync/**").hasAnyRole("ADMIN", "INTERNAL")
            .antMatchers(HttpMethod.POST, "/user").permitAll()
            .antMatchers(HttpMethod.OPTIONS, "/oauth/token").permitAll()
            .antMatchers("/v3/**", "/v2/api-docs", "/configuration/**", "/swagger*/**", "/webjars/**", "/").permitAll()
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
            .sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS)
            .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedHandler(accessDeniedHandler());
        //@formatter:on
    }

    @Bean
    public AccessDeniedHandler accessDeniedHandler() {
        return new OAuth2AccessDeniedHandler();
    }
}

The security config therefore is pretty basic since the resource server defines most things:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true, securedEnabled = true)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private IUserService userService;

    @Override
    public void configure(final AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.userDetailsService(userService).passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
    }

    @Override
    @Bean
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
        return super.authenticationManagerBean();
    }

    @Bean
    public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
        PasswordEncoder encoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
        return encoder;
    }
}

A: As stated here on springdoc-openapi java library documentation, for a project that uses spring-security, you should add the springdoc-openapi-security dependency.
In that way swagger-ui will render also the oauth endpoints:

In addition, if you want to hide certain paths, you could use the springdoc.paths-to-exclude property, documented here.

Q: Event schema for events with unknown (TBD) date On our project, we receive events that have the unknown startDate that should be defined later.
For events with the unknown start hour Google suggests passing just date: "startDate": "2025-07-21".
But what should we pass if the date is also unknown?
