Museum Place Master Plan
Hassalo on Eighth
The Brewery Blocks
GBD's involvement with the Con-way Blocks dates back to the 1970's when we started work with Freightliner (which Con-way eventually bought out) and did space planning for them from 1975 to 1991. We continued with designs for the Adtech I building in 1988 and the Adtech II building in 2001. In time, Conway planned to sell parcels of their land to private developers for redevelopment. GBD and Con-way created a framework master plan to orchestrate this multiyear, multi-phase effort, and GBD has since designed several blocks of the new development. 2015 saw the opening of the first buildings in the neighborhood that was once a sea of surface parking. Slabtown Marketplace—a 36,000 square foot warehouse transformed into a vibrant New Seasons Market, partnered with the LL Hawkins—a new 113 unit apartment building, created an anchor for future development. Most recently, the construction of The Carson and The Carson South brings two new mixed-use residential buildings with curated ground floor retail and two levels of underground parking. At 14-stories The Carson houses 224 apartments over ground floor retail. The Carson South is a six-story, 161- unit apartment building. A continuous underground parking structure that flows beneath both blocks provides parking for approximately 600 cars and 500+ bikes. Together, these two blocks provide generous public open space (37% of the overall site area) to create a distinctive identity for the neighborhood.

Custom Color 1: Colors the menu items, copyright text, gallery navigation, any page links (including sub page links), scroll bar drag buttons, audio player buttons, thumbnail button, and slideshow icon.
Custom Color 3: Colors the menu and submenu background boxes, portfolio label boxes, audio and video progress bars, and scroll bar tracks.
Desperado allows you to set your own content width. See the 'Content width' setting under Special Features for more information. Intro and Gallery images, as well as the image for the contact page should match that setting minus 40 pixels, which is the default amount of padding between the edge of the container and the images. Page images can be as wide as gallery and intro images, or than can be narrower. If they are narrower than the available page space, text will wrap around the image.
The default content width setting is 1000 pixels. This would mean your gallery and intro images should be 960 pixels (1000-40=960). Page images could be up to 960 pixels wide.
*These sizings are based off the default content width of 1000 pixels. Width settings for each image should be the content width settings minus 40 pixels.
Desperado has two scroll modes, "auto" and "none". Auto uses the standard browser scroll mode with a standard browser window scroll bar as needed to accommodate content taller than the browser window. None scales all content to fit within the available browser height. Page text uses a scroller inside the main container if needed. Gallery and Intro images scale to fit within the available space without the need to use the browser scroll bar. Enter the desired setting under Site Settings > Template Settings in the Browser scroll mode field.
You can set a category to be featured under the intro image section. If you set the Featured category setting under Site Settings > Template Settings to a category within the Images area of the admin, it will show up beneath the intro image section on the home page of the site. This feature will only work if the browser scroll mode is set to auto.

Well, October has raced by and for me musically, it has been very much a month of preparation. I've started work on writing some new songs for a 2019 release, been rehearsing some recent songs ready for a visit to a studio in North East England (where they will receive a very different musical treatment) and also been getting ready for a performance on 26th November at Chesham Folk Club for performing some original songs in a show 'Songs from the Front', which is a commemoration to the centenary of the end of World War 1. This is in conjunction with John Bickley from the Invisible Folk Club, a web radio station that supports independent artists - go to their Facebook page for all the information, and do take a listen.
Also in October, I have been involved in a great new musical collaboration, mainly playing piano and keys and suggesting songs. I'm really excited about it and hope to be able to tell you more in due course, but it's currently in the promotional planning stage. It's taken up quite a bit of studio time to get the right feel and passion, and look forward to telling you much more about it in the future.
I've been focusing quite a bit on my Instagram site of late at Instagram.com/Alan_Garmonsway This is where I often first perform my new song ideas as they are developing and it's great for getting some interactive feedback. Drop by and take a look, you'll be very welcome there.
Hi Alan, Nice blog and we wish you success in all you musical endeavors! Cheers!
I have always loved your playing! And BTW thanks for my song!

CESA sets the record straight
Consulting Engineers South Africa (CESA) is encouraged by Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi's support of its War Chest, but will like to clear some misconceptions about the need for such a fund.
In his address at the inaugural South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions conference underway at Gallagher Estate in Midrand, Nxesi said that the department welcomes CESA's War Chest, but the impression created is that only government is corrupt whereas there is a corrupter and a corrupted entity and urged that CESA must look at itself first.
We would like to set the record straight and dispel any animosity between the government and CESA. For the past few years, CESA has been advocating the issue of integrity and ethical balance among its members and the industry at large.
"Our members subscribe to the CESA Business Integrity Management System and if any of our members, is found to be unethical, anyone is welcome to contact CESA where the matter will be investigated and strong sanctions taken for any transgression," proclaims CESA CEO Graham Pirie
He notes that CESA has motivated the concept of signing an Integrity Pact at project award stage, where all the parties to the contract commit themselves to project delivery while subscribing to the principals of integrity.
Taking a client to Court is a last resort, after all other avenues were explored and exhausted
However, CESA agrees with the Minister that the country is engaged in a life and death struggle against corruption where one of the solutions lies in ensuring that the professionals we train have a strong sense of professional ethics and service.
Nxesi added that we need more well-trained project and construction managers to start to minimise the space for corrupt activities to take place.
CESA would like to partner with government to effectively counter the scourge of corruption.

School board member likens American flag to 'toilet paper'
A Chicago-area school member says she isn't backing down from comments she made on Facebook equating the American flag with toilet paper, saying the flag is a meaningless piece of cloth and "a false symbol of hope" for black people. In a post on her personal Facebook page supporting NFL players who kneel during the national anthem, School District U46 board member Traci O'Neal Ellis wrote, "That flag
means nothing more than toilet paper to me," The Chicago Tribune reported. "And I promise you, I would take #TakeAKnee at school board meetings if my doing so would not be disruptive to kids and a distraction to the work we need to do for them," she wrote. School board member Jeanette Ward, of West Chicago, shared a screenshot of Ms. Ellis' post on Facebook, calling her comments "despicable and disgusting." READ MORE

Our amino acids are of the highest purity and suitable for a broad range of applications in biochemistry. Besides the natural occurring L-amino acids, we offer a selection of unnatural D-amino acids and DL-amino acids.
The copper(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) is the most prominent example of a group of reactions named click reactions. According to Sharpless' definition, these reactions are characterised by high yields, mild reaction conditions, and by their tolerance of a broad range of functional groups.[1–3] Typically, the reactions require simple or no workup or purification of the product. The most important characteristic of the CuAAC reaction is its unique bioorthogonality as neither azide nor terminal alkyne functional groups are generally present in natural systems.

Azido Amino Acids
With the emergence of click chemistry the use of azide- and alkyne-derivatised α-amino acids has found high interest e.g. in the area of peptide synthesis as a powerful tool in the development of new therapeutics and biological chemistry fundamental research. Peptide labelling mostly requires reactions which are running close to physiological conditions (neutral pH, aqueous solution, ambient temperature). Cu(I)-catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) is optimal for such biological compounds, here the advantages of click chemistry once again show their potential. The low reactant concentrations, low background labelling, the quantitative and rapid labelling, plus the mild reaction conditions fit the necessary reactivity, selectivity and biocompatibility criteria for the peptide labelling and thus ensure the preservation of biological function. Carl ROTH provides high quality azido amino acids. In this form they can easily undergo click reaction when an alkyne functional reporter molecule is present.

ITV to resurrect Stars In Their Eyes?
A tabloid report claims that ITV is seeking to revive its Saturday evening entertainment series Stars In Their Eyes.
The talent show – in which contestants perform hit songs of musicians dressed as them – was a huge hit for ITV the first time around and aired from 1990 to 2006 with millions of viewers tuning in each week. Stars In their Eyes was originally presented by Leslie Crowther until 1992 when Matthew Kelly took over and he remained with the series until 2004 when Cat Deeley took over until the series ended in 2006. Davina McCall presented several specials of the show as well during its original run.
"Instead of the star coming out and saying, 'I'm going to be…' they perform a song, and the audience has to work out who they are. They're tweaking the old show and calling it Guess the Star." – A "source" quoted in The Mirror
The Mirror reports that a pilot was filmed in Manchester earlier this month but the paper offered no further details on when Stars in Their Eyes might return or who would present it. Knowing ITV though it'll probably be Ant & Dec or Vernon Kay.
As well as the 'normal' version of Stars In Their Eyes there were also numerous variations on the series. Obviously there were Celebrity Specials as well as more specialised Popstar Specials, Footballer Specials, Coronation Street special and a more general soap star special. There was also a junior version of the series as well which ran for four seasons between 2002 and 2006.


1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM: LFK.
LFK, the Livermore FORTRAN Kernels, is a computer performance test that measures a realistic floating-point performance range for FORTRAN applications. Informally known as the Livermore Loops test, the LFK test may be used as a computer performance test, as a test of compiler accuracy (via checksums) and efficiency, or as a hardware endurance test. The LFK test, which focuses on FORTRAN as used in computational physics, measures the joint performance of the computer CPU, the compiler, and the computational structures in units of Megaflops/sec or Mflops. A C language version of subroutine KERNEL is also included which executes 24 samples of C numerical computation. The 24 kernels are a hydrodynamics code fragment, a fragment from an incomplete Cholesky conjugate gradient code, the standard inner product function of linear algebra, a fragment from a banded linear equations routine, a segment of a tridiagonal elimination routine, an example of a general linear recurrence equation, an equation of state fragment, part of an alternating direction implicit integration code, an integrate predictor code, a difference predictor code, a first sum, a first difference, a fragment from a two-dimensional particle-in-cell code, a part of a one-dimensional particle-in-cell code, an example of how casually FORTRAN can be written, a Monte Carlo search loop, an example of an implicit conditional computation, a fragment of a two-dimensional explicit hydrodynamics code, a general linear recurrence equation, part of a discrete ordinates transport program, a simple matrix calculation, a segment of a Planck distribution procedure, a two-dimensional implicit hydrodynamics fragment, and determination of the location of the first minimum in an array.
CPU performance rates depend strongly on the maturity of FORTRAN compiler machine code optimization. The LFK test-bed executes the set of 24 kernels three times, resetting the DO-loop controls so that short, medium, and long vector performance is sampled and can be compared. Following these three executions, the 72 timings are combined for statistical analysis and printed. The entire LFK test is executed seven times to measure experimental timing errors. An analysis of these timing errors for each kernel is provided to confirm the accuracy of the test. The LFK test also computes a sensitivity analysis of the weighted harmonic mean rate by assigning 49 sets of weights to the kernels. This analysis may be used for risk analysis to understand the variation in net performance that different workloads would cause. The LFK test report concludes with an analysis of the sensitivity of the net FORTRAN rate to optimization using the SISD/SIMD model, a two-component form of the weighted harmonic mean (harmonic Mflops) model. This analysis may be used to gauge the performance of applications from a knowledge of their vectorizability.
Although the LFK test evaluates the performance of a broad sampling of FORTRAN computations, it is not an application program; neither is it a complete benchmark test nor a substitute for one.
LFK may use substantially more CPU time on systems with poor CPU-clock resolution because very accurate, convergent methods were developed to measure the overhead time used for subroutines SECOND and TEST in subroutines SECOVT and TICK, respectively.
The FORTRAN program was run at NEADB on a VAX-8810 computer. In single precision, CPU time was 384 seconds; in double precision, CPU time was 374 seconds.

National Route 189 is a national highway of Japan in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, connecting Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and Japan National Route 2, with a total length of .

Overview
Route 189 connects with the main gate of Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni at the southernmost end, and with the Taiteishi intersection of Routes 2 and 188. Access to the commercial portion of Air Station Iwakuni is provided by the Yamaguchi Prefectural Route 110 Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport Line.

While the actual length of the road is , over  of this overlaps with Japan National Route 188. The section of this route with no overlap is just  long, making it the second-shortest national highway in Japan, longer than Route 174 by , and shorter than Route 130 by .

Intersecting roads

Route Data
Start and end points are as designated by ordinance.
Start: Iwakuni Airport
End: 1-Chome, Marifu, Iwakuni City
Length:

History
Route 189 was opened in 1953, first designated as a second class national highway named Second-class National Route 189 Iwakuni Airport Line. At that time, Iwakuni Airport and Haneda Airport were the only two international airports in western Japan, making this an important road. As US military presence increased, gradually civilian aircraft were not allowed at the airport, until in 1967 civilian operations ceased.

Until 2010 the official end-point of Route 189 lay within the US military base at Iwakuni, causing road management and maintenance issues as the general public have no access. This was due to the original designation stating that the road ended before the platform where the national flag was hoisted, inside the main gate. In 2010 this was changed, with the road now officially ending at the main gate of the base.

In 2012 civilian operations from Iwakuni airport began once again with the construction of the Iwakuni Kintaikyo Airport terminal. Despite this, Route 189 remains unchanged, leaving it useless for civilians wishing to use the airport, who instead use Yamaguchi Prefectural Route 110.

Victorian and Traditonalist Pictures
A View in the Grampians
signed and dated 'Rich Ansdell 1861'
30¼ x 54 1/8 in. (76.8 x 137.8 cm.)
Norman S. MacKinlay, a gift from his mother in 1875.
No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 15% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.
Ansdell was first introduced to Scotland by the Earl of Sefton, whom he accompanied on shooting parties. A love of Scotland remained with him throughout his life, and he eventually built a lodge on the shores of Loch Laggan where he would stay each summer for at least four months, closing his house in Kensington and taking his family and staff with him. Owing to the length of his stay he was able to practice some sheep farming, and accompany the shepherds in their daily round. This gave him ample opportunity to study those animals he liked painting most: sheep and dogs.
Dated 1861, this painting comes from the period when Ansdell's output of Scottish pictures was at its height. The scene is clearly taken from life, and includes the same shepherd and his two dogs who appear in other pictures of the period. The sheep are individually characterised, as they are herded across the rough terrain in hostile weather. The wind catches the shepherd's woollen shawl: his pipe and the fact that he is not alone are his only comforts. Ansdell has juxtaposed the figure against the skyline - a favourite technique that lends drama to the composition. All the artist's favourite elements are incorporated and lovingly described: the peaty puddle and lichen encrusted rocks with misty mountains threatening rain beyond. The urban viewer is reminded of the intensity with which one engages with the elements, and how sensations are heightened in the rigorous Highland landscape.
We are grateful to Sarah Kellam (née Ansdell) for her help in preparing this catalogue entry. Sarah is currently compiling a catalogue raisonné of the artist's work. She can be contacted at www.richardansdell.co.uk.

Justin Quiban (right) takes his turn on the eighth mound ahead of Tony Lascuña with the duo bracing for a shootout in today's final round.
Lascuña, Quiban hang tough with 71s
Nimrod Quinones, 5 years ago 0 4 min read 212
TARLAC – Tony Lascuña and Justin Quiban barely held on to the lead with a pair of scrambling 71s, enabling Japanese Toru Nakajima and Clyde Mondilla to gain a crack at the crown after the punishing third round in the P3.5 million ICTSI Luisita Championship here Friday.
Lascuña and Quiban, who went 3-up on Nakajima with flawless rounds at the Luisita Golf and Country Club Thursday, switched places at the helm with roller-coaster rounds from tee-off, yielded the lead to a surging Nakajima halfway through but found themselves tied again at the helm at 207 with those one-under par cards in sweltering heat.
But Nakajima lurked behind at 208 after a 69, failing to sustain an impressive 32 start that startled his joint leading flightmates with a bogey on No. 10. But his run of pars the rest of the way kept the Japanese within sight of a second ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour title after nipping Jay Bayron in the playoff to snare the ICTSI Wack Wack Invitational crown in 2013.
Mondilla made it a four-way battle in the second leg of the 17-stage ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour as the Del Monte ace matched Nakajima's 69 to seize solo fourth at 209, just two adrift of the joint leaders.
"I have to play extra cautious and concentrate on my game tomorrow (today) because my rivals are young and aggressive," said the 45-year-old Lascuña, a multi-titled tour winner but still in search of a first win on the former home of local circuit's version of the President's Cup.
He said putting will be the key in what promises to be a high-noon shootout for the top P650,000 purse in the 72-hole championship sponsored by International Container Terminal Services, Inc.
"I have to keep my putting in check because it will determine the winner. If my putting clicks, I have good chances of winning," said Lascuña.
Quiban underscored his readiness for the crown on his first foray on the pro tour by draining a 20-foot birdie putt on the last hole to save a 71 and stay side-by-side with the former three-time Order of Merit winner.
"I'll just play it relaxed. If everything goes smoothly, well and good. If not, it's also fine," said the 20-year-old Quiban.
At least six others made a run and moved into contention with impressive starts only to get slowed down by the heat and errant shots and flubbed putts and stayed way behind.
Korean Park Jun Hyeok, eight down after 36 holes on a pair of 72s, strung up six birdies in an eight-hole stretch from No. 4, including four straight, to bounce back, only to reel back with back-to-back bogeys from No. 15.
But he came through with a rare birdie on the treacherous par-3 17th that all but wiped out Angelo Que's chances as Park shot the day's best 67. He, however, stood four shots off the leaders at 211.
Jerson Balasabas, the former amateur hotshot still in pursuit of a big win, turned in a more impressive start of five-under 31 and tied the course record with two more birdies on Nos. 13 and 14. But like majority of the field, he lost steam, wavered and dropped three strokes in last four holes, including a closing double bogey for a 68 and 212 in a tie with Orlan Sumcad and Albin Engino, who carded a 70 and 72, respectively.
Que, just four behind Lascuña and Quiban halfway through the event, backed by Custom Clubmakers, adidas, KZG, Summit Mineral Water, Pacsports, TaylorMade, Sharp and Champion, stayed in the hunt with an opening 34 and moved to seven-under overall with another birdie on No. 16. But the former three-time Asian Tour winner used three balls on the 214-yard No. 17 and wound up with a 7 and a 73 to drop to solo ninth at 213.
"I just wanted to finish (the round) and go home. But I'm kind of used to it. I also once shot a 12 on a par-5 in one tournament," said Que, who came into the event as one of the top picks after a strong joint fourth place finish in the Indian Open last week.
Korean Seok Jun Min shot a 70 for a solo 10th at 214 while defending champion Charles Hong of Cebu rattled off three straight birdies from No. 14 for a backside start of 33 but failed to hit any at the front and made one bogey, finishing with a 70 for 215 in a tie with John Rey Pactolerin, who also fired a 70, Jay Bayron, who carded a 71, Frankie Miñoza, who matched par 72, and Rufino Bayron, who stumbled with a 74.

Q: openGattServer(context, mGattServerCallback) doesn't seem to open a gattserver, why? I am trying to create a gattserver in my application, so it can act as a peripheral. First I noticed that the code I wrote for the central (the client) cant connect to the server (the BluetoothGattCallback method onConnectionStateChange delivers the infamous status 113). Then I tried to connect via the Playstore app nrf connect which wasn't possible either. The advertising (also done in my code) works though. The client code as well as nrf connect scan for and detect my advertisements.
This is how I wanted to start my server:
BluetoothManager mBluetoothManager = (BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
mGattServer = mBluetoothManager.openGattServer(this, mGattServerCallback);

I defined the gattservercallback before, so the line is executed and I get a not NULL BluetoothGattServer instance back, exactly as I wanted, I could even add a service without any problems:
btGattServer.addService(createService());

(createService returns a Service instance)
I'd really appreciate some help with this!
If anyone needs more details or some more code (e.g. the code that starts the advertising), I'm happy to update my question!

A: I figured it out myself:
To start advertising, you need to call startAdvertising on an Advertiser instance. This call needs three arguments, one of which is an AdvertiseSettings object. When I created this object with the AdvertiseSettings builder I did not include .setConnectable(true).
This was why the advertising itself worked, but applications trying to connect couldn't.
(so .openGattServer in fact opened a server it just wasn't connectable)

Back That Up to the Beat
More than 4 years after Rebel Heart, Madonna returns with the release of her 14th studio album. She uses that number 14 in her promotion: on April 14 she announces the album title, Madame X, while the album release is set for June 14, 2019.
In a series of Instagram posts, Madonna reveals the many personas of Madame X: she's a secret agent, a dancer, a professor, a head of state, a housekeeper, an equestrian, a prisoner, a student, a teacher, a nun, a mother, a child, a singer, a saint, a whore, and a spy in the house of love. In interviews, Madonna explains that Madame X was a name given to her by Martha Graham, when she studied at Graham's school of dance. Martha Graham gave her the name because Madonna was always dressing differently and taking on different identities, similar to the character Madame X from the 1908 play 'Madame X' by Alexandre Bisson and the 1966 movie 'Madame X', featuring Lana Turner.
The album is influenced by music and dance genres from Portugal (fado) and Cape Verde (morna, funana). Adding to the latin vibes are collaborations with Colombian reggaeton singer Maluma and Brazilian singer Anitta. There are also features by Swae Lee and Quavo.
When Madonna started working on the lbum in January 2018, she introduced us to the first songwriter for the album: Starrah. She ended up co-writing 6 album tracks.
After struggling to find the right producer for the record, Madonna reconnected with Mirwais, who previously worked on the albums Music, American Life and Confessions on a Dance Floor. Also on board were Mike Dean and Diplo, who both worked on many Rebel Heart tracks.
The album was released in different physical formats:
Standard Edition - CD album, single disc
Double vinyl 12" album - Black Vinyl
Double vinyl 12" album - WEB Exclusive Clear Vinyl
Double vinyl 12" album - Rainbow picture disc
Deluxe Edition - CD album, double disc, hardcover
Deluxe Box Set - 2 CDs - hardcover, cassette album, 7" picture disc, poster, tattoo set
The Deluxe Edition contains 2 more tracks than the Standard Edition, while the box set brings us another 3 bonus tracks.
With this album, Madonna blurred the difference between singles and album tracks. Before the album release, fans got to hear 5 songs: 'Medellín', 'I Rise', 'Crave', 'Future' and 'Dark Ballet'. Not all were considered as full-on singles: some were promoted more than others.
On April 17, Madonna released 'Medellín', a midtempo reggaeton song which sees her collaborating with Colombian singer Maluma. Two weeks after the release, they performed the song together at the Billboard Music Awards.
'I Rise' followed on May 3rd. It initially didn't get a video, but after a few weeks Madonna teamed up with Time for a video that shows a global population fighting for rights, recognition and survival.
For 'Crave', released on May 10th, Madonna and Swae Lee featured in a beautiful, mostly black & white video. 'Future' was available for download on May 17th, a day before it was performed by Madonna and Quavo at the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv.
'Dark Ballet' was the final song made available before the album release on June 7th. It tells the story of Joan of Arc, stunningly visualized by queer artist and activist Mykki Blanco in the video. 'God Control' got a video on June 26, taking a strong stand against gun violence with a very graphic video.
On the day of its release, Madame X debuted at #1 in the iTunes album charts in more than 60 countries, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Italy.
In its first week, it reached the #1 in the US Billboard 200 album chart (making it her 9th #1 album in the US), while in the UK, Belgium, The Netherlands and Italy it landed at #2, right behind the album by Bruce Springsteen.

Q: How to make embedded youtube videos on transparent  in opera brighter? I'm trying to embed some youtube videos on transparent div

wrapping div is set to opacity: 0.94;
When I set the opacity on the wrapping div to "1", embeded videos are fine.
Does anyone know how to repair this, except the "solution" with adding a javascript that will add a absolute positioned non-transparent div with the coresponding videos on top of the original ones

A: Opera has a known bug regarding transparency and plugins (internally tracked as DSK-288890) which is probably causing the problem.
Does changing wmode=transparent change anything? If not, the only workaround I can think of is setting opacity to 1 for Opera.

Scientists Seek to Make Pig Livers to Function in Humans
American scientists are seeking to make pig livers behave more like human livers so they can be transplanted into people.
The reengineered livers could help fill a big need for replacement organs.
The first step for scientists is to wash away the pig cells that help the organ do its work.
This leaves the liver white and clear, with no blood vessels remaining in the tissue.
Next, human liver cells are added to the empty pig liver.
The living cells move throughout the organ in an effort to restart the liver's functions.
Jeff Ross is head of the U.S.-based Miromatrix, the medical company involved in the research.
He told The Associated Press, "Because we remove all the cells from that pig organ ... our bodies don't see it as a pig organ."
He explained that the process can nearly "regrow the organ."
Ross said the company aims to begin its first human testing sometime in 2023.
The goal of the testing will be to try to prove that the method can create functioning human livers.
If the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves the testing, the first experiment will take place outside a patient's body.
A pig-turned-human-like liver will be put next to a patient to temporarily filter the blood of someone whose liver had failed.
Experts say if the "liver assist" experiment works, it would mark a major step forward in developing genetically engineered organs that could be transplanted into humans.
Dr. Sander Florman is the head of transplant operations at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital.
He told the AP the reengineering of animal organs for humans might sound like something only seen in science fiction.
Florman said that he thinks the "liver assist" method is likely to be used to help patients without the need to implant a full organ into their bodies.
He said such a system can help save the lives of people suffering from organ failure.
More than 105,000 people are currently on the U.S. waiting list for an organ transplant.
Thousands of them will likely die before they get a chance to receive a new liver.
Thousands more never even get put on the list because they are not considered the best candidates.
"The number of organs we have available are never going to be able to meet the demand," Dr. Amit Tevar told the AP.
He is a transplant surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Tevar, who is not involved in Miromatrix's research, said he thinks the planned outside-the-body testing would be an early first step in the development of animal organs for human use.
In 2021, researchers with Miromatrix and the Minnesota-based Mayo Clinic reported successfully transplanting a version of bioengineered livers into pigs.
In Maryland, a man lived for two months after receiving the world's first heart transplant from a pig in January 2022.
To reduce the chance the man's body would reject the heart, scientists removed several genes from the donor pig that are linked to organ rejection.
The FDA is currently considering whether to approve additional transplant experiments that would permit kidneys or hearts from gene-edited pigs to be placed into humans.
The bioengineering process, however, is very different.
It does not require organs from genetically engineered pigs.
It only requires leftover organs from slaughterhouses - places where animals are killed for food.

If the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves the testing, the first experiment will take place outside a patient's body. A pig-turned-human-like liver will be put next to a patient to temporarily filter the blood of someone whose liver had failed.
Dr. Sander Florman is the head of transplant operations at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital. He told the AP the reengineering of animal organs for humans might sound like something only seen in science fiction.
Florman said that he thinks the "liver assist" method is likely to be used to help patients without the need to implant a full organ into their bodies. He said such a system can help save the lives of people suffering from organ failure.
More than 105,000 people are currently on the U.S. waiting list for an organ transplant. Thousands of them will likely die before they get a chance to receive a new liver. Thousands more never even get put on the list because they are not considered the best candidates.
"The number of organs we have available are never going to be able to meet the demand," Dr. Amit Tevar told the AP. He is a transplant surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
In Maryland, a man lived for two months after receiving the world's first heart transplant from a pig in January 2022. To reduce the chance the man's body would reject the heart, scientists removed several genes from the donor pig that are linked to organ rejection.
The bioengineering process, however, is very different. It does not require organs from genetically engineered pigs. It only requires leftover organs from slaughterhouses - places where animals are killed for food.
The Associated Press reported this story. Bryan Lynn adapted the report for VOA Learning English.
transplant - n. to perform a medical operation in which an organ or other part that has been removed from the body of one person is put into the body of another person

A mountainous forested area in Cameroon.
About 40% of Cameroon's territory is covered in forest. But they're being threatened by deforestation. Over about 25 years, 3 million hectares of Cameroon's 22 million hectare forests have been cleared. That's about the size of Belgium. This is a huge concern for the country as about 4 million people depend on the forests for their livelihoods.
So far about 415 forest communities have signed management agreements, covering about 1 million hectares. The aim is to reduce poverty in these communities - as they would benefit from its resources - and - because it would be in their best interests to manage them sustainably - protect the forests.
But research shows that for most the forest communities there's been little or no change in their livelihoods. There have also been reports of illegal logging and deforestation. Forest communities closer to major cities - like Nkimineki and Awae - have been particularly affected.
Our results were mixed. Some met the required good governance standards, but the majority didn't. For instance, 78% of case studies didn't meet the standards for all the principles. This was mostly because there wasn't enough money coming in or because committee members lacked management, entrepreneurial skills, managed the forest in their own interest or had disagreements between them which prevented them from being effective.
To avoid these challenges, countries considering Cameroon's example must have the right laws and procedures to develop income generating activities and committee members must also be properly trained.
For community projects to succeed it's key that community members participate in decisions that affect them. This includes choices on who represents them, which community projects will be financed and on the type of income generating generating activities that take place.
But community participation in Cameroon's community forest projects was only seen in 17% of the case studies. In most cases, important decisions were made by the management committee without consulting the community. Women and minority groups - like the hunter gatherer Baka group - were often sidelined.
They also didn't ensure all social groups - men, women, young people and minorities - had equal access to benefits and resources. Just 25% included them in management, decision making and income-generating activities.
To see if the forests were being well managed, we investigated illegal logging, deforestation rates and forest management. And to look at whether livelihoods had improved, we looked at whether communities had better access to social amenities - like health facilities - and work.
Although the committees weren't good at governing, there were some cases that showed promised and provided lessons.
A lack of income generating activities pushes community members to ignore community activities, like meetings or forest monitoring, for activities for their personal gain, like agriculture or hunting. There must be incentives - like loans, tax breaks or the eco-labelling of products to improve their value - for community income generating activities. This will allow the management committee to use funds for community development projects.
In a few case studies there were influential members of society - within and from outside of the community - helped to provide financial, technical and administrative support to the community forest. We called these people "positive elites". They could help by sharing their expertise in administration, management, community development and should be given incentives, like awards for positive outcomes.

A passage in the Bible's Book of Kings has immortalised this Queen and the journey that she made, her camel caravan laden with gold and incense as gifts for the king of Jerusalem. In this talk Louise looks at how the Queen of Sheba has captured the imagination of great artists, inspired epic films and has led archaeologists to go in search of her land – a search that has led to discoveries of great temples, tombs and treasures in both the Yemen and Ethiopia.
Louise Schofield has been working in Ethiopia since 2006, directing archaeological, conservation and development projects in that extraordinary country. Her current archaeological site – in Tigray province, north-eastern Ethiopia – is a temple, probably dedicated to a moon god and dating to the 5th century BC – a time when this area of Ethiopia formed part of the kingdom of Sheba. Excavations undertaken there in 2015 and 2016 have uncovered a rich cemetery which includes an extraordinary burial of a 2000 year old Ethiopian 'Sleeping Beauty'.
Having been Curator of Greek Bronze Age and Geometric Antiquities in the British Museum for thirteen years, Louise now works on international archaeological projects, principally in Turkey and Albania. She lectures for a number of universities and institutions, including Florida State University, Christie's Education and cruise companies.

The United States officially opening its new embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, fulfilling a key promise made by its president, Donald Trump.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks at the official opening ceremony of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem on May 14, 2018. Photo by Yonatan Sindel/Flash90.
Trump, who did not attend the ceremony, issued a video greeting to the attendees. "Today, Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's government; it is the home of the Israeli legislature and the Israeli Supreme Court, and Israel's prime minister and president," he said.
The embassy ceremony, which was attended by some 800 American and Israeli officials, was held in Jerusalem's Arnona neighborhood, the site of the new embassy.
Its opening capped a move first set forth by Congress in 1995 as part of the Jerusalem Embassy Act, which recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and called for the relocation of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. However, successive American presidents, citing national security issues, have issued six-month waivers on the move until Trump announced his decision in December 2017 to go forward with it.
The United States has long had a consulate in Jerusalem, which mainly dealt with the Palestinian Authority. The new Jerusalem embassy will see the ambassador's office and about 50 staff members relocate to an already existing former U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, while the United States plans for eventually building an entirely new embassy building in the city.
The Trump administration was well-represented at the embassy dedication, with Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan, Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump, and Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt all attending. Additionally, U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman presided over the embassy ceremony.
"While presidents before him have backed down from their pledge to move the American Embassy once they were in office, this president delivered. Because when President Trump makes a promise, he keeps it," said Kushner.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also thanked the U.S. leader for "having the courage" to move the embassy.
The opening of the embassy on Monday also came amid clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians along border with Gaza. At least 52 Palestinians had been killed in the violence as nearly 40,000 Palestinians, encouraged by the terror group Hamas, gathered along the security fence where they burned tires, threw stones and attempted to infiltrate Israel.

Game Master Tips: Starting Your First Campaign
Sometimes it's hard for new GMs to get past the nuts and bolts of game mechanics and into actually running sessions. Using a Star Wars: Edge of the Empire campaign I ran for several months, here are some tips that may help you get your first campaign rolling if you're not relying on a published scenario. Read more
Tattoos in Tabletop Roleplaying Campaigns
Guest post by Erwan Roudaut
Tattoos are an important part of my life. I am tattooed, I have frequented many tattoo artists, and I worked in this field for two years when I was still doing my studies. I made a documentary on one of the most prominent artists in the history of tattooing in France, and I also hosted a show called Color My Skin on YouTube during those two years.
Mage: The Ascension
Tropes: Subvert with Care
I was reminded of the power of genre tropes last night when one of the players in my Star Wars: Edge of the Empire campaign complained that because all the action in the game takes place in a single city on a single planet, it isn't very Star Wars at all. Read more
Running an in-Campaign One-Shot
What's a One-Shot?
A one-shot session is a stand-alone game session not meant to be part of a larger campaign. It's a low-risk way to give a new game a spin without the investment of a campaign. If the group doesn't like the rules or the setting, it's no big deal; you've learned more about your group's preferences, which is a good thing. Read more
Edge of the Empire – Insights from Solo: A Star Wars Story
Solo: A Star Wars Story didn't grab me at first, but as it progressed I found myself sucked into the story. It's not my favorite Star Wars movie by a long shot, but I grade it a solid B.
As an Edge of the Empire veteran, I was struck by how much the movie felt like the first few sessions of an EotE campaign. If you ever thought about playing EotE but weren't sure what it would be like, watch Solo. It demonstrates what EotE is all about.
Here are a few examples (don't worry, I'll avoid spoilers): Read more
From Star Trek to The Lord of the Rings: Getting Started with Tabletop RPGs Based on Books, TV and Movies
Just as Kleenex has become shorthand for facial tissue, Dungeons & Dragons is the name everyone associates with tabletop roleplaying. But it's not always the first RPG people play. In fact, an unscientific online poll I ran three years ago suggests that about 40% of gamers are introduced via other games, and it looks like that trend is increasing.
Of those, many come into the hobby by way of games based on and licensed from specific books, TV shows, or movies. This trend may also be on the rise, as the ongoing sales success of Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars beginner boxed sets suggests. Read more
Going Beyond D&D
The Giant at the Table: Dungeons & Dragons
D&D casts a long shadow in the tabletop roleplaying world. It's the original RPG, it's been around for over 40 years, and it's the most popular. On top of all that, the OGL (Open Game License) introduced in 2000, gave rise to a huge number of games built around the core D&D mechanics, and eventually gave rise to the OSR movement. These underpinnings are usually referred to as d20, because a twenty-sided die (d20) is rolled to determine success or failure, but they also share other features such as character attributes and use of classes and levels.
There are many advantages to sticking with d20 mechanics: You'll always be able to find players for a d20 game, because so many gamers are familiar with them. Aside from D&D you can delve into 13th Age and Pathfinder, as well as Swords & Wizardry and many other retro clones. Learn one and understanding others is straightforward.
But what if you're looking for something beyond D&D and its kin? Where do you start? Read more

Star Wars: Age of Rebellion – The Actual Play Review
Like its predecessor Edge of the Empire, the Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook is a tremendously fun game. It is built for creating campaigns in which the players characters are heroes of the Rebellion. Because this isn't a traditional murder-hobos-in-search-of-power-and-treasure affair, this sort of campaign may require more than the usual up-front discussion between GM and players to be sure expectations are aligned.

Esther Day
annually on August 3rd (since 2010)
Esther Grace Earl in 2010
Hank Green in 2010
John Green in 2010
#EstherDay
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_Earl
https://nerdfighteria.info/article/1038
https://nerdfighteria.info/entry/1103
Esther Day is celebrated each year on Esther Grace Earl's birthday. Esther passed away in August of 2010, shortly after her 16th birthday, following a lengthy battle with thyroid cancer. Among other things, she was a Nerdfighter—a member of an online subculture consisting of fans of Vlogbrothers, which was created by brothers John and Hank Green.
John Green became aware of Esther in 2007, the same year that Esther found out her cancer was terminal. They formed a friendship online and met in 2009 at LeakyCon, a Harry Potter conference. Shortly before her death, Esther spoke with John, and he told her that he and Hank wanted to celebrate her birthday as long as Vlogbrothers kept going. Esther then requested that the theme of love would be part of the day. Thus, the first Esther Day was celebrated in 2010. It has been celebrated every year since, and is a day that celebrates non-romantic love, and reminds people to vocalize their love for their friends and family.
Following Esther's death, John Green spoke about her in a vlog called "Rest in Awesome, Esther." He dedicated his book The Fault in Our Stars to her. He said that she was both an inspiration for him to finish the book, and was an inspiration for the book's protagonist, Hazel Grace Lancaster. Esther's parents, Wayne and Lori Earl, published This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl. It consists of a biography of Esther's life, as well as some of her journals, fiction work, letters, and sketches. They also started a nonprofit organization that supports families with children with cancer.
How to Observe Esther Day
Tell those close to you—your family and friends—that you love them, then show your love with your actions. This is how Esther wanted the day to be celebrated. You could also support This Star Won't Go Out, a charity started by Esther's parents that helps families facing childhood cancer. You could also read Esther's book, or explore her YouTube channel. John Green's The Fault in Our Stars could be read, or the film version of it could be watched.

Q: When using Git how to make sure all people can use referenced dll I'm a Git beginner.
When using visual studio 2017 c# and Git.
How should one make a reference to a required dll, for a solution.
So that other people joining the git, but put their repro a different local computer folder, still can use the same dll's. Apperantly visual studio uses local path's, and i dont know how to make them relative.
Because if people would each alter the reference path i get lots of updates on that dll link, but every time someone corrects it for his computer then all others need to adjust it again.

A: The reference paths are relative so it will not be an issue.
One normally uses https://www.nuget.org/ for package management of 3rd party dlls. However, you can still add your own dlls and reference them by relative path.
For example, my csproj file:
<Reference Include="log4net, Version=1.2.15.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\packages\log4net.2.0.5\lib\net45-full\log4net.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>True</Private>
</Reference>

In this example, packages is a folder in the root of the git repository and the .csproj is also in a folder in the root.

Pino III Ordelaffi (1440 – 1480) est un noble italien qui vécut au , il appartient à la famille des Ordelaffi de la ville de Forlì.

Biographie

Fils de Antonio I Ordelaffi et de Caterina Rangoni di Spilamberto, Pino Ordelaffi était le frère de Francesco IV Ordelaffi. Il fut seigneur de Forlì de 1448 à sa mort.

En 1462 il épousa Barbara Manfredi (morte en 1466), fille de Astorre II Manfredi, seigneur de Faenza puis Zaffira Manfredi (morte en 1473) fille de Tadeo Manfredi et enfin Lucrezia Pico della Mirandola, fille de  et sœur du philosophe humaniste Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.

En 1463 Pino tomba malade, son frère Francesco fut suspecté de l'avoir empoisonné, mais Pino se rétablit. En 1466, ce fut au tour de Francesco de tomber malade, Barbara Manfredi essayant de l'empoisonner, en vain. Francesco fut alors emprisonné  avec sa femme Elisabeth Manfredi puis finit assassiné par un officier.
Pino s'empara de la ville et  devint seigneur de Forlì et de Forlimpopoli avec l'aide de Venise.

Peu après Barbara eut une relation amoureuse avec un membre de la cour de Forlì, Giovanni Orceoli, tous deux moururent rapidement, probablement empoisonnés sur ordre de Pino. Astorre II Manfredi suspecta Pino d'être à l'origine de la mort de sa fille et entra en conflit avec lui.

Pino rechercha alors une alliance avec Taddeo Manfredi, seigneur d'Imola et rival d'Astorre, pour résister aux ambitions d'Astorre qui, avec l'aide du Pape, cherchait à  l'expulser de Forlì.

Entretemps, Pino avait également fait empoisonner sa mère en 1467. Cette même année il prit part à la bataille de Molinella, pendant laquelle il fut blessé.

Pino est mort en 1480, Sinibaldo lui succéda peu de temps avant que la seigneurie de Forlì soit acquise par Girolamo Riario.

Pino fut un mécène pour la ville de Forlì, il y fit construire de nombreux bâtiments, et fit également terminer la construction des murs de la ville et renforcer le château.

Il commanda un monument à Francesco di Simone Ferrucci pour la tombe de sa femme Barbara. Ce monument est encore visible dans l'Abbaye de San Mercuriale à Forlì.
