In this presentation Dr. Wollman offered his view of the "Three Orders of Medicine and Healing". The participants had the opportunity to identify their personal position in the Galaxy and how to effectively navigate through each Order.
Your presentation, "Sleep Well, Sleep Suite" was a popular and well-received session. Your presentation spoke to the very theme of our conference"wellness, or ways to achieve balance in life". Thank you for sharing your expertise and contributing to the success of our conference.
OMEGA program is eagerly anticipating your workshop "Holistic Health Care Practices for All Stages of Life". You should be very gratified that the enthusiastic response to your Spring term workshop is why we are offering it again this soon, and lengthening the time for it – by request – indeed, "popular demand"! We love the wealth of your offerings. The holistic approach to all your teaching provides fresh awareness, rich individualized choices and a repertoire of useful, effective practices. With all of your knowledge and experience, you are an inviting, welcoming patient guide.
I thoroughly enjoyed your "Holistic Overview: Power Nurturing presentation. Your web site opens up even more possibilities for exploring balance and nourishment. I had a lot more questions but did not want to take advantage of your generosity and compassion and wanted to make sure others were able to spend time with you. I will try your CD tonight and will try to follow the HONOR SLEEP section suggestions. Thanks also for helping me understand more clearly the concept of "integrative".

I was with Hollora today as she finally topped that 2000 cache find milestone. The did it on a nice hike out there in the woods. The 2001 cache Pocomoonshine Package (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=c652428a-1e93-4c2d-9f1c-9cd48443e900) (GC1785) by Will, Brian and Betty (http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=1790176) (1.5/2). Glad I have joined you on more than a few hunts. And good news!! She only fell once.(OK twice, but I didn't see one of them) Way to go LA!!!
Congratulations Lois-Ann! I knew 2K was just around the corner and here it is. You're an absolute joy to attend events with and all of your efforts that you do for the cacher's community are so appreciated.
So......and you knew this was coming......you've done TWO THOUSAND caches! Which one was your favorite?
Awesome! I was going to break 800 today, but I'm down with the flu. Sigh.
When we spoke on the phone today I had no idea you were about to make the big leap. Salute!! Way to go, Lady, that's pretty cool.
Thanks for the caches you've placed, and I'm honored to have been along on some of the finds.
Congratulations dear lady. That 2000th cache is a huge milestone. That is an impressive cache too.
Tis true - the voicemail ding dong did not go off til much later! AND - I would do it again in a heart beat.......put me in your truck!
Yes, I knew the question was coming and I started this answer once and the mystery computer God closed my browser so I hope I can recover some of my thoughts. The list was long.
Hard to pick just one favorite - so here goes (in no particular order): Today at Pocomoonshine Package (thanks Mainiac1957!); caching with my son for #500 on Bald Mountain; with Macfriends on Mt. A for #700; Geowoodstock 5 in NC (caching with the gang from ME at night); caching around Flaggstaff Lake with Francis Family and Ms Amara this fall (and kayakingloon - thanks for the vision with Team Richards to do the Useless Event - and get us up there caching!); a day on Monhegan Island with bgrffjake and becket (miss the TGIF days guys); finishing the Maine DeLorme Challenge with Cache Maine (miss caching with you Cameo - OMG Aroostook County in the rain!!!!??!!); my first find - The Pound in Orrington (thanks Parmachenee); going to Islesford - caching the island and then kayaking over to Warren Island for a weekend camping event: caching on VinalHaven Island with wellsuh and doing all the caches on the island (not just the one at the Ferry Terminal) and loosing my PDA on a trail (no Team2Hunt doesn't have that as a solo trait) - thankfully not far in; the Night cache by Zoltarus in University Forest (that is awesome - loved it!); caching in Quebec City during the Mega Event and going to Morancy Falls for the International Fire Works Shoot; caching in Alaska this past summer and many more.
I feel good about - if get me to the area, I will probably remember it, even after 2000 finds. From Coos Canyon, Thank A Teacher......and the list goes on and on, there really are few caches I haven't enjoyed (some may have frustrated me - but we came out ok in the end).
If there was a memorable guard rail cache, it would be one of Mapachi's at one of his places where the view is awesome but folks just usually speed by (yes, IMHO some GRC can be memorable). Many of these I have taken and posted photos.
Last but not least - my favorite, very favorite part of the sport - is the great friends and people I have met through Geocaching. Geocaching entered my life just before Ralph and I had a life changing event happen. It was this sport, addiction, hobby - whatever you choose to call it, which got me through a very difficult time in my life. It was something which my adult children could enbrace and we have never looked back. Still having fun.
Thank you all for your support. I hope my little list might temp some of you, if you haven't done something I mentioned to perhaps consider it. I am always willing to talk cache - so just ask.
Cache on - cache happy and thank you all for your well wishes.
Oh Jamie - not late at all. Geesh, it was just a few hours ago (less than 12) that I was stumbling up that tote road and falling down on a trail LOL!
Happy to call you a friend as well. Yes, I will keep trudging along.....in no particular order or sequence - just trudging! See you soon!
Quite a milestone, LA! I get tired just thinking about getting there. But onward and upward. Glad you enjoy caching in Eustis and so glad you can come to the event and bring your lovely family! And you're right, it's all about the places and the people we meet.. not just the Tupperware. Hugs!
Congrats to you Hollora on your big accomplishment....That is alot of memories for sure. I always enjoy seeing you at events and enjoyed the one gathering that we attended at your place. Thanks for all you do. Cache on!!
That is an excellent cache for a milestone. A memorable one for sure!
2000 caches? YIKES!! That's a lot! Congratulations!
Haven't been paying attention...just noticed that you hit 2000...you have come a long way since the first time we met on my lawn...we have come a long way since that day...congratulations on a big accomplishment, for all you do for the rest of us, and most of all, thank you for being my friend.


Strange. Hmm, I'll have to look into that more. Hopefully we can get this worked out without you having to lose data from a backup.
I'd aim for fixing the glitch by preserving the 256-tile hack.
Taking it out would also take out the possibility of using more than 0x80 tiles, right?
I already found out that 0x15EE is the offset where the assembly for changing the bytes at 0x8FE0 (if I remember correctly) is although I don't think that will fix anything. In 0x8FE0-0x8FFF the game stores graphics data for the cubes and black screen which is displayed after "talking to trainer" ends.
However, you could do this - open VBA's VRAM Viewer and set "Automatically update" on and you'll see whether anything is loaded to that offset or not. It contains graphics of numbers 8 and 9 when font is loaded.
Anyway, I tried to search for the patch file for the tile hack earlier but couldn't find it.
You could consult my patch readme and just look at the one offset you need to change things around a bit at to be able to use more than 0x80 blocks.
Miksy91, would you mind giving me your email address? I'd like to talk to you about all of this a bit more.
Why don't you just e-mail me through this site (because don't feel like giving it to every possible person lurking around here) ?
Basically, it's quite easy to fix the bugs. You've probably just got to change the data in the offset where the game does "VRAM changes" back to what it was before though I'm not sure yet because I haven't looked at it.
Miksy91 took a look at the game, and was able to fix the glitches I was having. Also, the encounter rate problem. Wouldn't have been possible without him.
And end before you can enter the Second Town. My question is, would you guys like me to work on it and make it longer, and delay the Demo release, or just release it after I correct the few glitches I have left?
(I also vote for adding another town (for obvious reasons :D)) - don't count this one if you're planning to somewhat choose by a voting.
The second two are of my new, redesigned PokeCenter. The second floor will have salesmen as the PokeMart is now part of the PokeCenter. Any criticism is gladly appreciated.
It looks epic to me.
I love the concept. Not entirely sure about the blue floor on the second level, it looks a little... "off" to me somehow. But Other than that, looking good. I think its cool that you went with that, I was originally going to make a multi-level pokecenter when I was making that tileset, and ended up scrapping the idea. (Mine would have been more tedious, because it would have placed the second-floor NPCs up top, which would have meant adding events to every map, and this was eventually replaced with 1 floor Pokemon centers and the Global Trade Station on South Isle which has all of the 2nd floor functionality).
Quick poll. What do you think looks better as the floor tiles? I have two different shades of blue.
First or second? I know there's not too huge of a difference, but still. Thanks for all of the support!
I like the lighter shade as well.
The first one, emphasizes the color of the circles on the darker blue tiles..
I originally thought the darker one looked better, but the more I look at it I can see the second is a much better choice. Everyone's feedback definitely helped, thanks, it's very appreciated.
MobiBattle System? Sounds like a new feature to me.
It's looking really nice, keep up the good work. I'll be interested to play it, for sure.
Very nice as always! I'm also a fan of the arrows on the signposts, its a nice touch.

Kei Nishikori fought back from a set down to beat Alexander Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the Monte Carlo Masters semi-finals on Saturday to set up a showdown with Rafael Nadal.
The Japanese player moved into his first Masters final since Canada in 2016 after struggling with a right wrist injury that forced him to miss the last four months of last season.
But the former world number four, now ranked 36, did enough to wear down a tired Zverev who came through a late-night thriller with Richard Gasquet on his 21st birthday on Friday.
Nishikori is yet to win a Masters title in three previous final appearances, including one against Nadal in Madrid four years ago when he led by a set and a break before retiring injured.
He won his last match against Nadal in the 2016 Olympic bronze-medal match, but has never beaten the 10-time Monte Carlo champion on clay.
Nadal reached his 12th final in Monte Carlo earlier Saturday by seeing off Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-1.
Third seed Zverev broke through in the seventh game and wrapped up the first set with relative comfort.
Nishikori hit back early in the second to move 2-0 ahead, but Zverev refocused and drew level.
The Japanese reeled off four straight games to force a decider, though, as Zverev failed to secure a first straight-sets win of the week.
Both players saved two break points in their first service games of the third set, before solidifying their serves as the set became a battle of attrition.
But Nishikori brought up a match point in the 10th game with a body shot at the net, and German Zverev scooped a backhand wide to send the 28-year-old through to Sunday's final.


The purpose of this study was to classify reasons for not off ering help in certain situations according to moral judgment level. Fourth (n=83) and sixth grade students (n=89) in an elementary school as well as and undergraduates (n=90) were administered a questionnaire. The students were asked questions about three stories presenting a moral dilemma, and they had to state why they should not help a friend in trouble. The responses then were classifi ed according to moral judgment level (Eisenberg, 1979). As previous studies suggested, fi ve moral judgment levels were confi rmed in this study. Most of the answers were grouped into level 4. The responses for this level were few "sympathy" but almost "perspective taking." Some of the participants believed that "helping can give displeasure in some cases." Few responses were classifi ed as levels 1 and 2. Regarding level 3, the answers were stereotypical, for example, "not helping is good" and "off ering help is not suitable". Moreover, only undergraduate students gave level 5 answers, for example, the norm about the aptness of helping or respect the others' intentions. In general, the number of subjects indicating a higher level of moral judgment tended to increase with age. However, no clear age diff erences were found in this study. These results show that the reasons for not helping may include pro-social moral judgment.

Sit-On-Top vs. Sit-Inside Kayaks
Kayaks come in two basic styles. You've got Sit-on-Top (SOT) kayaks and you've got Sit-Inside kayaks and both are available as singles or doubles. They also come as hard shells or as inflatables.
Although there are some major differences between sit-inside and sit-on-top kayaks, they share many of the same parts. The top of the kayak is called the deck. The bottom is the hull. The front is the bow and the back is the stern. On top of the deck you'll often have deck lines or bungees.
At the stern of the kayak, you should find some grab loops and some kayaks have rudders. Rudders swivel side-to-side in the horizontal plane and are controlled by foot pedals. Skegs simply drop straight in the water and help the boat go straight.
Both sit-on-top and sit-inside kayaks have seats and some form of foot support, like the foot wells in this sit-on-top kayak. There are also foot pedals which slide on the track to adjust for different sized paddlers. Foot wells are convenient, but if you're going to be spending a full day on the water, you'll want to use foot pedals. They're a lot more comfortable and you get a lot more support from them. The best kayaks will also have a built-in back rest, which makes sitting in a kayak a lot more comfortable.
The biggest difference between the two types of kayaks is that sit-insides are enclosed. There is an area called the cockpit where you sit. Around the cockpit is a cockpit rim where you can attach a spray skirt to keep water out. Inside the cockpit you will find a seat and foot-pedals that you can adjust according to your leg length.

With hundreds of options out there, choosing a kayak can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't need to be. And it's hard to make a wrong decision. The best way to narrow down your options is to identify how and where you'll be using your kayak.
Will you be paddling on a sheltered lake or at the beach?
Will the water will be warm?
Are you looking for a kayak that can travel quickly or you are more concerned about having a very stable boat that will be difficult to tip over.
Your first and biggest decision is whether to go for a sit-on-top or a sit-inside kayak. And there are pros and cons to both.
Sit-on-Top Pros & Cons
Sit-on-tops are the most user-friendly. They're very stable, easy to get in and out of and there is no feeling of confinement on them. They're also self-bailing, which means they have small holes (called "scupper holes") that allow the water to drain right through them. Another big thing about sit-on-tops is that you can slip on and off them as you please. All these features make the sit-on-top kayak a great choice for nervous paddlers, for warm environments and for paddling with kids who love to swim.
The downside to sit-on-top kayaks is that you're guaranteed to get wet while paddling, while sit-inside kayaks allow you to stay dry.
Sit-Inside Pros & Cons
Sit-insides shelter your lower body from the wind, which makes them much warmer. Sit-inside kayaks are great for paddlers who'll be on cooler water and who want to stay dry while paddling, and they consider the kayak more than a vehicle for travel than a toy.
One downside of the Sit-inside kayaks is that you don't have the same freedom to move in and out of the water. And if you do flip for some reason, recovery is a complicated process because your kayak will likely be filled with water.
Like sit-on-tops, recreational sit-inside kayaks are very stable, fun, and easy-to-use. They've got large cockpits so there's no reason to feel confined in them. Some even have waterproof compartments that are accessed through hatches in the deck.
Boat Length
Once you've decided whether to go for a sit-on-top or sit-inside, you'll need to decide on the length of a kayak. It's a general rule the longer and narrower the kayak is, the faster it will travel and a wider kayak is the more stable but slower it will be. Most sit-on-top kayaks are considered recreational (or "rec") kayaks because they're wide and ultra stable.
Rec vs. Sea Kayaks
Sit-inside kayaks can vary a lot more in shape and size and in purpose. In fact, sit-inside kayaks can be broken into two distinct categories, you've got recreational sit-inside kayaks, and you've got touring (or sea kayaks). The recreational boats are wider, they're shorter, and they have these big cockpits. So they don't feel confining it at all.
The touring or sea kayaks are longer, narrower, so they're a lot faster. They also have thigh hooks or knee-cups that can give you a lot more control over the edging of the boat. The cockpits are a lot smaller. So you tend to feel a bit more confining, although it's very easy to get out of these boats as well.
If speed is not important to you, let us now choose a shorter kayak, they're lighter, and they're easier to move around.
Material/Weight
Most kayaks have a hard shell made from a durable plastic that'll last forever and it doesn't require much maintenance. There also kayaks made from composite materials like, fiberglass, carbon, and Kevlar. They make them significantly lighter. The downside, is they don't take abuse as well. They also tend to cost a lot more.
You also have inflatable kayaks like this one from Innova. They're very comfortable to paddle and they can be deflated, rolled up or folded down and actually carried in a backpack. These kayaks are made with coated fabrics and are surprisingly durable. Inflatable kayaks don't tend to be as fast as hard-shell kayaks, but they are incredibly versatile.

안녕하세요. Spring 환경에서 properties 를 톰캣 재기동 없이 변경하는 방법에 대해 찾다가 오게 되었는데요.글에서 설명해주신대로 xml 에 내용 세팅하고 @Autowired 로 프로퍼티에서 데이터를 잘 꺼내와서 사용하고 있는데 톰캣 기동중 프로퍼티를 변경하면 변경내용을 읽어오질 못하고 있습니다.
제가 테스트 한 사항은 웹화면에서 파일을 업로드 하는데 업로드 경로를 프로퍼티에 지정해주고 업로드 요청 시 해당프로퍼티에서 경로를 가져와 등록합니다.
뭘 확인해야할지 감도 안잡히는데 어떻게 하면 좋을지..
실제 소스상 설정 내용은 아래와 같습니다.
<beans:import resource="context-common.xml" /> 로 지정되어있습니다.
이런식으로 파일경로를 가져와 사용하고 있습니다.
경로는 잘 가져옵니다만 톰캣 기동 중 경로를 수정하면 수정 된 경로를 가져오지 못하고 있습니다..
우선은 context-common.xml 에서 setting.properties를 가져와서 사용하시는건가요?
그리고 스프링쪽 셋팅중에 <beans:import resource="context-common.xml" /> 이부분을 context-root.xml 파일에서 import하지마시고 순서가 중요하니!


If you need more evidence that American culture has jumped the shark, check out the second Coca Cola phone to hit in as many weeks. There's just one thing worth mentioning: IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
You can even buy it now, and the price is pretty mind boggling too, at just $6.64. Sadly it's not powered by Coca-Cola, nor is it a cellphone, but at 1:1 scale this landline phone will definitely be a talking point at house parties.


The commission formed by the Legislature will hold its first meeting Friday at UMaine's Darling Marine Center in Walpole.
Leading scientists will brief Maine's new ocean acidification commission on challenges facing the state's coastal fisheries when the panel meets for the first time Friday at the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center in Walpole.
The Commission to Study the Effects of Coastal and Ocean Acidification on Commercially Harvested and Grown Species is the first of its kind on the East Coast, according to a statement from the panel.
The commission will study the negative effects of ocean acidification and make recommendations to the Legislature on how to address the threat.
"Maine is taking the lead on ocean acidification on the Eastern Seaboard. We understand that it is a real threat to our marine environment, jobs and way of life," said Rep. Mick Devin, D-Newcastle, House chairman of the commission and sponsor of the bill that created the panel.
Scientists say carbon and nitrogen pollution is making oceans more acidic. Growing acidification poses a significant threat in the Gulf of Maine, where it may inhibit shell production of lobsters, clams, shrimp, oysters and other creatures.
Left unchecked – and combined with rising water temperatures, depleted oxygen and pollution – ocean acidity threatens about 9,200 jobs in a commercial fishing industry that generates about $1 billion in the state's economy, according to a marine resources report.
"Ocean acidification could pose critical problems for the fish and shellfish along our coast, and for the people who depend on them to make a living," said Sen. Chris Johnson, D-Somerville, Senate chairman of the commission.
The commission includes fishermen, aquaculturists, scientists and legislators. The scientists will make presentations between 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., followed by the commission's discussion at 1:15 p.m.
Scientists who are scheduled to speak Friday include Scott Doney, director of the Ocean and Climate Change Institute at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts; Barney Balch, senior research scientist at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Boothbay; and Bob Steneck, professor and Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation, School of Marine Sciences, Darling Marine Center, University of Maine.

All my dolls as of 01/15/2017.
Wow, I haven't done a census of the small populations in about a year and a half. Time for another.
I have a new means of taking my sporadic censuses of the small populations. Instead of shooting new photos for each census, I just spent many hours taking full-length and bust-length portraits of everyone. I will use these portraits for my censuses as long as each doll's look remains constant. If significant change occurs, such as a new faceup, wig, body or doll altogether for the same character, I will update the portrait. However, since most of my dolls stabilize with a single form over time, I plan to reuse lots of these portraits. Here we go!
It's been about a month and a half since my last census, and things have changed yet again, mostly in the active populations at my house. I'm reusing photos from the last census for everyone except the "out and about" crew at home.
As I sorted through old photo albums recently, I discovered pictures from my first 1:6 scale populations! Unfortunately, the photos were taken on film with a camera that didn't do closeups well. However, for the sake of historical curiosity, I have scanned the best ones and annotated them.
I moved last weekend to a new apartment, so I took the opportunity to take pictures of everyone in their new digs.
Look what I discovered on my hard drive! A census of the small populations from a decade ago in August, 2003! Check it out!
All my 1:6ers, LHFers and non-, as of today. That's about 60 dollses! I didn't realize that I had that many.


GPS provides reliable long-term navigation information but requires a direct line of sight between the GPS receiver and GPS satellites. On the other hand, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) offers continuous autonomous navigation information, but its accuracy degrades over time due to the cumulative errors of the inertial sensors.
The integration of GPS's long-term stable accuracy with the continuous but short-term accuracy of an inertial navigation system (INS) can provide accurate and uninterrupted positioning for many difficult navigation scenarios.
Land vehicle navigation is, in fact, one of the most challenging navigation modes because GPS signal quality degrades significantly when a vehicle goes through urban canyons or forest canopies.
Moreover, GPS signals — and, consequently, positioning information — can be completely lost when, for example, a vehicle goes through a tunnel or passes under a bridge.
With the development of low-cost, microelectromechanical (MEMS) inertial sensors and GPS technology, integrated INS/GPS systems are beginning to meet the growing demands of lower cost, smaller size, and seamless navigation solutions for land vehicles.
Although MEMS inertial sensors are very inexpensive compared to conventional sensors, their cost (especially MEMS gyros) is still not acceptable for many low-end civilian applications, such as commercial car navigation or personal location systems.
In an ideal case, three accelerometers and three gyroscopes — that is, a complete IMU — should be part of the IMU to faithfully portray the three-dimensional motions of a vehicle. However, the unremitting drive to reduce the cost to consumers of vehicle navigation systems has led to the development of simplified sensor configurations.
Gyroscopes are usually more expensive than accelerometers in an IMU MEMS. For example, when purchased in bulk, a MEMS gyro chip currently costs about $10 per axis or a total of $30 for a three-dimensional IMU, not including other hardware, electronics, or digital signal processor, which is not acceptable for many applications.
An efficient way to reduce the expense of these systems is to reduce the number of gyros and, therefore, to use a partial IMU (ParIMU) configuration.
For land vehicular use, the most important gyroscope is the vertical gyro that senses the heading of the vehicle. As a result, considerable research has recently been directed towards finding ways to minimize gyroscope usage in the INS or even developing gyro-free INS systems.
The most commonly used ParIMU consists of one vertical gyroscope to detect the heading and two or three horizontal accelerometers for determining the velocity of a vehicle. The accuracy of such partial IMUs will definitely be less than the accuracy of a full IMU.
Consequently, the following key questions arise: is the degradation in accuracy acceptable considering the reduction of cost, can we use the same full IMU processing techniques with ParIMUs, and can we improve the accuracy of the partial IMU using other aiding sources during GPS signals outages?
This article will address these questions based on some of the recent development and testing conducted by the Mobile Multi-Sensor Systems (MMSS) Research Group at the University of Calgary.
In particular, we will compare the use of one- and two-gyroscope IMUs integrated with GPS as well as the potential benefit of exploiting other data on vehicle dynamics, such as the odometer outputs, to improve positioning solutions while minimizing costs.
This research attempted to meet the two challenges of the current MEMS Inertial/GPS navigation systems, i.e. reducing the cost and improving the performance, by introducing a partial IMU (ParIMU) configuration, and applying two different methods to improve the navigation performance of partial IMUs through the use of additional information (NHC and odometer).
Testing of a ParIMU configuration consisting of one vertical gyro and two horizontal accelerometers (1G2A) can reduce the inertial sensor cost by 50 to 65 percent, while maintaining an acceptable navigation performance with some external aiding (NHC and odometer update) which proved to be a very promising design for land-vehicle navigation applications.

See, when you place this kind of sofa, it could be functional in that it serves as a makeshift bed for a guest to stay the night while in fact you have no spare or a guest bedroom for that guest to occupy. Some products even come with additional sleeper to expand the surface. But make sure you have chosen the appropriate color for the sofa first to be able to create a perfect atmosphere.
james home decorating, 2019-03-20 04:33:36.Next, another important thing before you buy leather sofa is the special treatment to store them for a right lifetime investment. As we told that the leather material is four times more durable than fabrics. It may not require a cleaning. You need to keep in mind that to make the natural-looking still standout like the first you buy and the leather is not drying out and cracking. A regular cleaning routine is highly recommended at least once or twice a week. The cleaning process is quite easy and avoids to use detergent or something similar because it will harm your leather sofa. You can use soft and clean cloth with a little water to get rid of the dirt and debris or using a vacuum cleaner to do the work quickly.

As we move into 2019, one of the key trends in the life sciences industry is the rise of precision medicine. The speed and range of scientific breakthroughs in this area is leading to ground-breaking new treatments, particularly in oncology and rare diseases. The precision medicine market is expected to reach $85.5 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 9.9%, according to Grand View Research. More importantly, this trend gives hope to many patients who have not responded to standard treatment options.
Focusing on oncology, Evaluate Research estimates that more than 85% of the market is now focused on targeted therapies. The treatable patient population is also expanding, growing three-fold every three years. Together these rises in innovation and patient need will drive worldwide sales of all oncology products to over $230 billion per year by 2024.
However, the speed of innovation and the consequent explosion of scientific data brings its own challenges. For example, the number of new oncology therapeutics in clinical development in the United States alone has risen by over one- third (34%) since 2015. Real-world data from patient records is also growing rapidly. Treatment teams need to remain current on both the latest advances and real-world patient outcomes, while also contributing their own experiences with these advances to the wider ecosystem. Life sciences companies must ensure that they are supporting treatment teams and scientific experts in staying up to date on the growing treatment landscape, while also getting information from these teams to inform ongoing scientific progress.
This trend in the market is making obsolete the traditional methods used to build and maintain relationships in the oncology sector. The medical science liaison (MSL), charged with informing and educating experts, will need to evolve in the style, method and content of communication. MSLs will now need to reach oncology experts within a growing, global audience faster, and with more in-depth, real-time information that best fits experts' individual needs. Every interaction needs to be targeted specifically at the healthcare professional's needs and interests in order to be valuable – generic information is no longer sufficient. As medical experts are inundated with information – it is estimated that the average physician needs to read for 29 hours per day to keep up to date with new medical research – MSLs will become a valuable partner for aligning scientific information with clinical practice.
In an era when the volume of information and speed of innovation are accelerating, the relationship between life sciences companies and oncology care teams needs to become more efficient. Companies need to rapidly provide care teams with easy-to-consume, real-time scientific data set into the context of the current treatment landscape. The continued advancement of treatment innovation requires that medical experts share their real-world experiences.
Achieving this at scale has previously been difficult in a global environment. How can companies ensure they are reaching the right experts with the right information at the right times? How can providers ensure that they are delivering the right treatment to the right patients at the right times? It can feel akin to looking for a needle in a haystack – for both sides.
The cloud can help by providing companies with the ability to deliver targeted information, track data consumption and evolve communications accordingly. At the same time, providers have the architecture to communicate gaps in knowledge, real-world patient experiences and other information from the field that can fuel ongoing treatment advances. The cloud also enables an ongoing dialogue through communication tools that can work alongside traditional face-to-face interactions. In an age when more companies are trying to access increasingly busy providers, companies can offer virtual and remote methods of engagement that fit into the busy schedules and environments of scientific experts and care teams. This overcomes modern barriers and increases engagement across the sector.
Finally, the cloud enables medical affairs teams to extend education and engagement beyond just the individual oncologist to address new, team- based care approaches. Diagnostic and research specialists, nurses, PAs, nutritionists and other caregivers can receive targeted information that fits their needs and interests. This means the broader care team receives vital insight into treatments and how each member of the team can contribute to driving better patient outcomes. At the same time, these teams can provide valuable information via the cloud, such as signals of clinical sub- populations who might respond better to treatment modalities and sequences and defining better protocols for patient compliance and retention.
We live in the era of big data, and detailed analysis of this ever-expanding volume of information is vital for accelerating precision medicine. New data sets are growing in size and importance, in addition to the Cancer Genome Atlas, which catalogues the genetic mutations responsible for cancer and has generated multidimensional maps of genomic changes in more than 30 cancer types. This growth will require ongoing innovation in analytics and insight sharing, as well as access to larger, more complete and more accurate data sets for targeting and benchmarking.
As techniques such as artificial intelligence move into the mainstream, this process will become ever more automated and rapid. Technology will be able to quickly analyse and compare trial results, scientific literature and real-world patient records, allowing teams to spot potential new treatments and provide faster alignment with specific cancer types and individual patient populations.
Being able to successfully deliver precision medicine relies not only on access to the right data, but also on speed to carry this insight into the clinic in a timely way. Waiting for lengthy trials to be conducted and the results to be published can hold up research efforts. New technologies will make it simpler to access, extract and use aggregated patient data in new ways in order to develop and align targeted treatments. This real-world information can help life sciences organisations understand the benefits and challenges of a treatment outside the controlled clinical trial environment and, together with scientific data, evolve treatments for the clinical environment more effectively and efficiently.
Overall, improved bidirectional dialogue via the cloud enables better patient outcomes by pushing vital, high-value information to clinicians while pulling crucial, real-world insight back from key experts in the field. Through implementation of a shared engagement approach across company teams and geographies, the content of expert interactions, as well as any new insight from this, can also be optimised internally with all relevant stakeholders.
Through this technology-supported approach, life sciences companies can instantly follow up with the trial or real-world data that experts need, via the channels they request. Should new biomarkers or data on new combination treatments or sequencing become available, medical science liaisons can react quickly to put that information into context. Efficient communication drives deeper insight and directly impacts innovation and patient outcomes.
Precision medicine, particularly in areas such as oncology, is transforming the treatment landscape and ensuring the length and quality of patient lives. However, the volume and complexity of available data makes it challenging for treatment teams and life sciences companies to access and share information. Overcoming information overload, building bidirectional communication channels and driving mutually valuable relationships are key to sharing the insight that will ensure better patient outcomes. Embracing new, cloud-based technologies underpins this new ecosystem, providing a platform for innovation that transforms engagement, deepens insight and ensures realisation of precision medicine's full potential.

Q: How To Find 2nd or any other order,say 3rd, 4th, non repeating character in a string? Suppose i have a string named as " statistic ".
I want to print "c" as the 2nd non repeating character as the first character is a.
I did printed the first character but couldn't find way to traverse another keys through that?
Also, If it is given "statistic non" , can i get " c and o" too as all non repeating if, specified, leaving first and also, if specified, " a,c and o" taking all??
How can I achieve that?

A: Simply iterate over the string and put the occurrence of each character in a map with the key is the character, and the value is an object which has two attributes the number of occurence and the first occurence position.
Then you simple sort the keySet() of this map depending on the position and iterate over the sorted set till u find an object with only one occurence
   for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++) {
       if(map.get(str.chatAt(i))==null) {
           map.put(str.charAt(i),new Wrapper(i,1)) ;
        } else {
           map.get(str.charAt(i)).occurence++;
        }

   }

     class Wrapper {
        public int occurrence;
        public int position;
        public Wrapper(int position,int occurrence) {

        this.position = position;
        this.occurrence = occurrence;
       }

      }

A: Use LinkedHashMap

Hash table and linked list implementation of the Map interface, with predictable iteration order. ... This linked list defines the iteration ordering, which is normally the order in which keys were inserted into the map (insertion-order). Note that insertion order is not affected if a key is re-inserted into the map.

With this, it becomes easy:
// We keep only a map of between tha char and the number of
// occurrences. We don't store the positions for the next (after first)
// occurrences, but the LinkedHashMap guarantees that
// the iteration order is the same as  insertion order
// (so first inserted letters will appear first when iterating)
LinkedHashMap<Character, Integer> charOccurs=new LinkedHashMap<>();

for(char c : str) {
  Integer occ=charOccurs.get(c);
  if(null==occ) {
    occ=0;
  }
  else {
    occ=new Integer(occ.intValue()+1);
  }
  // "Note that insertion order is not affected
  // if a key is re-inserted into the map."
  // Niiice!
  charOccurs.put(c, occ);
}

int order=1;
for(Map.Entry<Character, Integer> entry : charOccurs.entrySet()) {
  // this works because ...
  // "This linked list defines the iteration ordering,
  // which is normally the order in which keys were inserted"
  // Doubly-nice!!!
  if(1==entry.getValue()) { // single occurrence
    System.out.println("Char: "+entry.getKey()+" order: "+order);
    order++;
  }
}

A: I think you will like to go through old skool method
String intitialString = "statistic non";
        int count = 0;
        char[] ch = intitialString.toCharArray();
        for (int i = 0; i < ch.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < ch.length; j++) {
                if (ch[i] == ch[j]) {
                    count++;
                }
            }
            if (count > 1) {
                count = 0;
            } else
                System.out.println(ch[i]);
        }

output
a
c
o

Hope this helps!

A: The following code snippets help to identify the nonrepeating character in the string and will return the 2nd one on that.
public String printNonRepeatingChar(String data){

    LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> counter = new LinkedHashMap<>();
    if(data!=null) {
        for(int i=0;i<data.length();i++) {
            String key = data.charAt(i)+"";
            if(counter.keySet().contains(key)) {
                Integer value = counter.get(key);
                value+=1;
                counter.put(key, value);
            }else {
                counter.put(key, 1);
            }
        }
    }

    List<String> elements = new LinkedList<>();
    for(String key:counter.keySet()) {
        if(counter.get(key)==1) {
            elements.add(key);
        }
    }

    return elements.get(1);

}

Change the index position from 0 to length in the return statement for the nonrepeating character position. please handle the exception if index is not found.

Stéphane Aviron can be considered a pioneer is his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he's simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines. Sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques.
The Stéphane Aviron Chénas is produced very vines that average over 100 years old, ranging in plantation from 1900 to 1923. Stéphane Aviron has been producing wines from this incredible 13.6-acre parcel since 1993. The soil is light and made up mostly of sand and small pebbles over a layer of clay and quartz. The old vines and poor soils combine for incredibly low yields and highly concentrated grapes.
Stéphane Aviron strives for a style that is elegant and fine in the Chénas without too much concentration. The wine is very drinkable. With his subtle approach to winemaking, the terroir is able to express itself very clearly and precisely. Dark black cherry colour with purple. Deep, ripe aromas of black cherry with a hint of black pepper. Very good weight; fleshy and round, very soft and harmonious. Delicious now or could be aged for several years.
Stéphane Aviron can be considered a pioneer in his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he's simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines. Sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques. He focuses on the Beaujolais village crus, all but forgotten gems of vineyards when the nouveau craze took over, which are the best sites for unique, expressive and terroir driven wines. All of the fruit is sourced from old vines (40+ years), so seeing Vieilles Vignes on the label is a rite of passage, not a privilege. Authenticity and a distinctly Beaujolais style of winemaking is what sets Stéphane apart from the rest.
Chenas is one of the smallest appellations of Beaujolais, situated astride more famous Fleurie. Both villages tend to make gamays with both richness and elegance. This sports a ripe nose of cherry/strawberry jam, peony and subtle pepper. It is medium bodied, smooth, firm and refined with gentle tannin. And the length is excellent. Very easy to enjoy now and should hold through 2028. Tasted June 2022
This is a fetching gamay with buoyant fruit notes of cherries and raspberries accompanied by aromas of candied violets, rosemary, and snapped twigs. The palate echoes these flavours with subtle notes of cured meat joining the chorus. Tannins are satin smooth and acids are tart. Length is excellent with a delightful fruity finale. Best 2022-2027. Tasted June 2022 by Critic Understudy Megha Jandhyala.
This is a pleasantly twiggy-herbal-stemmy expression of Chenas with plenty of joyful fruit underpinning the ensemble. I like the fleshy dark cherry fruit on the palate, the silky-firm tannins, and the excellent length in the category. A superior cru; drink or hold late into the decade. Tasted June 2022.
Chénas by Aviron is the cru that takes what the Villages offers and simply gives more. By home and vineyard the extrapolation and extension is natural, seamless and duly noted, from dancing fruit, happy palate and now, something viably more. Salumi and wet stone, a modicum of structure, violets in perfume and furthered texture. A positive thickening that stays with the palate, lingers and gracefully moves on. This is gamay to pour for people ready to get it and get at it. Drink 2022-2026. Tasted June 2022.
An intriguing mix of ripe and jammy along with stemmy and herbal from the warm 2020 vintage. Juicy on the palate with flavours of cherry, bramble, wet leaf and a hint of carbonic. Mouthfilling and fleshy overall with plush red fruit on the finish of very good length. Tasted June 2022.
Fresne-Ducret is rich in family history and has been rooted in the premier cru village of Villedommange since the mid 1800s. Le Chemin du Chemin is a foray into the essence of their winery.
The first aromas are of apricot and fresh bread, with floral notes, giving way to more complex notes of praline, hazelnut and shortbread. In the mouth, delicate brioche aromas, creamy and buttery, followed by a savouriness with hints of tea. Particularly well-balanced, with a soft astringency. Aged for a minimum of 48 months on the lees in underground cellars.
Pair this excellent champagne with all the classics matches: oysters, light fish dishes... We also recommend to pair it with fried chicken, porchetta, potato chips or seared scallops. It really does goes with everything!
Fresne-Ducret is rich in family history and has been rooted in the premier cru village of Villedommange since the mid 1800s. Originally growing grapes for the big champagne houses, it wasn't until the end of the second world war that the family decided to make their own wine. The tradition carries on today with Pierre Fresne and his wife Daniella (an Oakville ex-pat). Their philosophy is to produce wines that best exemplify the terroir of Villedommange, and they do this with sustainability in mind.
In 2014, Pierre Fresne embarked on a new adventure by creating a limited series of champagnes based on his desire for experimentation. Since then, he has produced one or two of these wines each year. Each are unique, according to his wishes and the profile of the vintage. This unique collection is called Arquémie, the term for alchemy in the Middle Ages. In 2018 Pierre began converting the vineyards to organic viticulture, and 2021 will be their first organic certified vintage.
This has a very intriguing, generous nose of macaroon (coconut), straw, dried apple, toast and almond/hazelnut. Also a lovely sense of sweet nut fudge. It is medium bodied with fulsome flavour, riveting acidity and all kinds of Champagne minerality. Great focus and length here. Wow! Tasted October 2020
Fresne Ducret's latest release of this premier cru "Chemin du Chemin champagne is a characteristically smoky and savoury, toasty and biscuity, mature champagne in the English style, balanced and savoury. I really like the developed, mature profile here, the great length. This is very good champagne ready to go. Tasted October 2020.
When richness, yeasty and warm toasted brioche get together in Champagne the effect is comforting and potentially hypnotizing. From the Premier Cru village of Villedommange dating back to the mid 1800s, the pedigree is noted and the 48 months of lees aging a coup for creating both a creamy and a revitalizing Champagne. There is an oxidative aspect here and it's effectualness is one that imagines exotic spice cupboards, masala mixes and gingery tisanes. Quite the exotic bubble, lightly frothy, elegantly styled, complex and fine. Drink 2020-2026. Tasted October 2020.
This Champagne shows some fine maturity. A blend based on the 2014 vintage, it now has toastiness while keeping intense freshness. Acidity and touches of minerality come through the spiciness. Drink now.

The Baud estate dates back to 1742. Today, ninth generation vignerons Clementine and Bastien Baud are making some of the best-value wines in Jura. This unique wine region is a narrow valley in the remote hills between Burgundy and Switzerland that was once covered by an ocean millions of years ago. If you kick a stone in a Jura vineyard, it will probably be a fossil!
Controlled oxidation at its finest. A beautiful juxtaposition of vibrant fruits aromas and nutty oxidative flavours. The Domaine Baud 'Cuvée Flor' presents an intense range of flavours, boasting concentrated honeysuckle, ripe apricot, candied meyer lemon, sourdough, honeycomb, and freshly grounded cloves. The wine attacks the palate with mouthwatering acidity, followed by citrus flesh, bruised golden delicious and burned honey, intensely mineral, with a nutty and umami finish.
Pair this wine with comté cheese, cream-based baked fish, seafood, raclette, and poultry.

Powerful, lively and spicy with concentrated tangy citrus and pear fruit with some saline notes and tangy apple and lemon on the finish. Lovely intensity here with some crystalline citrus fruit.
Pinot Noir, Trousseau
Leathery & Silky
A delicious blend of 70% Trousseau and 30% Pinot Noir, this cuvée is named "Ancestral" because it is made from Baud's oldest plots of red grapes planted by Clementine and Bastien's grandfather.
This light and whimsical red wine has aromas of leather and concentrated notes of morello cherry and wild strawberries. The tannins are soft, silky, and elegant. Extra sensation with a light chill.
Enjoy it on its own, or serve with red meats such as game and venison.
Fruity & Mineral
Built in the 15th century, the Château de la Grange-Barbastre belonged to the Barbastre family, Lord of the Grange, until the end of the 16th century. The property passed to the de Goulaine family in 1777.
Planted on slopes facing south and southeast, this Muscadet Côtes de Grand Lieu sur Lie is cultivated on the best soils of the estate and from vines that are over 40 years old.
Aged on its fine lees for 11 months, the nose is elegant with hints of white flowers, lemon zest, ginger and salty minerality. The contact with the lees for an extended period of time to develop a beautiful creamy texture balanced out by bracing acidity.
Muscadet Sur Lie is an exquisite pairing with oysters or any other type of shellfish. A true classic pairing would be 'moules frites' - mussels tossed in shallots, white wine and herbs with a side of french fries!

Château de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy's Beaujolais region. Cared for by the same family for nearly three and a half centuries, the estate has been passed on to new owners, the Gruy family, who are equally committed to managing the estate with the utmost care, while implementing an ambitious environmental plan.
Brouilly is the southernmost appellation in Beaujolais. This cru site specifically - but apparent in the entire Beaujolais region – are hills more pronounced than you will find in Burgundy. Some are rolling while some are steeper, and this topography has a direct influence on the way the vine rows are planted, how they are tended (by hand or machine), and how the vines are pruned. Château de La Chaize estate is located on a natural amphitheater with south/southeast exposure, on steep hillsides of sandy pink granite that allow for excellent drainage.
For this wine, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts with semi-carbonic maceration - 50% Burgundian (destemmed) and 50% whole cluster. Pumping-over is practiced without punching down, to preserve the fruit and freshness of the wine. 70% of the wine is aged in stainless steel, 30% in foudres for 12 months.
Delectable, fruity nose underscored with aromas of red fruits and notes of nutmeg spice. Generous and aromatic on the palate, with supple, mellow tannins. Notes of red fruit and spice offer depth and lively acidity. Expressive, generous and enjoyable right now, this is a perfect wine to enjoy with a slight chill.
Pair with all meats, chicken, wild mushrooms, and strong cheeses.

Founded in 1670 by the seneschal of Lyon François de la Chaize d'Aix, the main Château de la Chaize building and gardens were completed by Jules-Hardouin Mansart and André le Nôtre, respectively architect and gardener of the Château de Versailles. Château de la Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy's Beaujolais region. Boasting over 250 acres of vineyards, it is also one of the largest. It is today considered one of the most innovative estates in Burgundy. Among its forward- thinking practices is the adoption of eco-friendly farming techniques, commonly referred to as Agriculture Raisonnée. Chemical treatments have been reduced to a strict minimum, for example, and the growing of grass between rows has been re-introduced to enrich the soil and reduce erosion.
The 2019 Brouilly opens in the glass with notes of cherries, peonies, orange rind and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and lively, with powdery tannins, attractive purity of fruit and a precise finish, it continues this cuvée's upward trajectory. – W.K. Tasted in August, 2021.
A charming Brouilly sourced from 11 differed cadastral lieux-dits (vineyards) including "La Chaize" which is a monopole of the aptly named Château de La Chaize. Generously aromatic and still vibrant with delicate notes of black pepper, fresh raspberry, cran-cherry and licorice. Featherweight tannins and well-balanced acidity make for a ready-to-drink find. Excellent length. Tasted June 2022.
The effusive violet and blackcurrant-pastille aromas draw you into this elegant and silky, mid-weight Brouilly with excellent harmony right through the long finish… this will keep, but why wait when it tastes so good already? Drink now. – Tasted in April, 2021.
90 points (2018) - Wine Enthusiast
Pouilly-Fuissé lies in southern Burgundy's Maconnais region and is produced only from Chardonnay grapes. Vineyards are planted on hillsides containing limestone-rich clay soils with a granitic subsoil. The appellation was established in 1936 and covers roughly 800 ha at altitudes around 200 - 300m a.s.l. Wines tend to be full-bodied, ripe and elegant.
For this wine, the grapes were hand harvested from a selection of different vineyard sites within Pouilly-Fuissé from ~50-year-old vines. Traditional fermentation takes place at a low temperature (62.6° F), and malolactic fermentation is blocked.
50% of the wine is aged in stainless steel, 50% in foudres.
Notes of citrus, iodine and flowers on the nose, while on the palate the wine is balances bright acidity and minerality with an ample body and yellow fruits and spice flavours.
This Beaujolais estate also has vines in Pouilly-Fuissé to the north. The wine has good minerality as well as ripe apple and spice. Lightly wood aged, it is a rich, structured and fruity. Drink the wine from late 2020. - Roger Voss
Juicy & Earthy
One of the most coveted, yet accessible natural wines in France. From legendary winemaker Matthieu Barret of Domaine de Coulet in Cornas. The Matthieu Barret labelled wines are from a leased organic and biodynamic vineyard in Visan, about an hour South of the Domaine. Petit Ours ('Little Bear') is Matthieu Barret's nickname.
It is 100% Syrah from clay and limestone soils. Expect fresh dark berries with hints of black pepper, lavender and smoky tones on the nose. On the palate it's vibrant, tight, refreshing and with gripping tannins.
Enjoy this wine with classic wine bar fare chicken liver mousse, duck confit and mushrooms or a dish of lentils with boudin. Savour the last sip with a blackberry and rhubarb butter tart.
Domaine du Coulet - Matthieu Barret
Matthieu Barret was born in Aix-en-Provence in 1975 and studied viticulture in Beaune.
He is the 7th generation vigneron and joined his grandfather in Cornas in 1997. Previously, his family had only been farming and selling grapes. He practices biodynamic viticulture, obtaining very low yields (23 hl/ha) and extraordinary quality. He describes his wines as being 100% grape, with a very low sulphite addition. His wines are extremely clean, and, true to the Cornas character. Domaine du Coulet was founded by Matthieu Barret's grandfather after WWII, and over the years has supplied grapes to some of the best known producers in the Northern Rhône, including Chapoutier and Delas. While his father eschewed the agrarian lifestyle, opting instead for a career in international business, Matthieu knew early on that he wanted to be a vigneron. In 1998 at the age of only 23, he took over the family's 25 acres of well-situated vines on the terraced hillsides of Cornas.
From the beginning, Matthieu has employed natural, organic practices and by 2002 (his second year of production) the domaine received its biodynamic certification. With each vintage, Matthieu has gained a better understanding of his vine parcels and through thoughtful experimentation, he now turns out a remarkable selection of Cornas wines that express the unique nuances of each micro-terroir. No new oak, no racking, minimal use of sulfur and no fining or filtration. Pure, sexy Syrah.


Hey, how's it going? It has been a wet spring in Boston, but we retain our dry sense of humor. Ben has been out on paternity leave the last few weeks, hence the delays on the monthly update. We really wanted to get an update out for April, so we're doing an unusual Friday update. This month is a bit of a hodgepodge with updates for PHENIX, PyMOL, CCP4mg, Bsoft, CCP4mg and Coot and a new package, Electra. Things should be returning to their normal frenetic pace shortly.
We're pleased to report that we've secured competitive pricing on two Linux-compatible workstations from our new preferred hardware vendor, ThinkMate. We're working with ThinkMate because they do a fantastic job with high-quality system builds and because they ensure that each system they build enjoys full Linux compatibility. All systems come with a 3 year warranty and can come pre-installed with CentOS, SBGrid's recommended linux distribution.
The workstation configurations are available at http://thinkmate.com/sbgrid. The SBGrid Standard Workstation comes with a quad-core CPU, 3GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 380 graphics card ($1173). The SBGrid Pro Workstation has a default configuration with two quad-core CPUs, 6GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 graphics card ($2123). The Pro Workstation can also serve as a small file server, accommodating up to 8 hot-swap hard drives paired with a 3ware RAID card.
If you have any questions about the configurations, please email us or feel free to contact our ThinkMate sales representative Jon Breen at 800-371-1212 x4249 or via email at jon.breen@thinkmate.com. Please note that we don't receive any sort of compensation from these sales -- we work on these configurations solely for the benefit of our community.
In other news, we're starting up a mailing list for discussion of technical matters related to maintaining and supporting a suite of scientific software. Ben is hoping to strong-arm his favorite sysadmins, power users and software admins into joining the list to discuss best practices for integrating locally-supported and SBGrid-maintained software, thoughts on crowd-sourcing software maintenance via a distributed filesystem (SBGrid AFS cell, anyone?) and other bits of random tech talk. Send email to sympa@cmcd.hms.harvard.edu with the subject "subscribe sbgrid-tech" to join up.
We hope things are going well in your neck of the woods, and Ben promises not to write in 3rd person plural again.
We've had a passel of new members join in the last couple months. We are pleased to welcome Gang Dong from the University of Vienna, Roger Kornberg at Stanford University, Michael Cosgrove at Syracuse University, Jane McGlade at the University of Toronto and four new members at the University of California at Berkeley: Tom Alber, Jamie Cate, Jennifer Doudna and James Berger.
A pre-release version of CNS 1.3 is now available in the software tree. It's not set as the default version, but you can instruct your shell to use it with a ~/.sbgrid file. The CNS website has some details as well as a new wiki.
PyMOL has been updated to the latest incentive versions: 1.2r3s for linux, 1.2r2 for OS X 10.4 and 10.5 and 1.2r3 for 10.6. We have also renewed our subscription to the incentive version of PyMOL through Schrodinger. All SBGrid members can access the PyMOL incentive downloads and documentation at http://pymol.org/dsc using invoice number '5905' and password 'pile5bent'. Note that I keep the PyMOL Windows builds at /programs/share/pymol/windows.
Bsoft has been updated to version 1.6.0 with both 32 and 64-bit versions now included in the software tree. The excellent Bsoft website has documentation, how-tos and helper scripts.
ELECTRA (ELECtron Tomography Resolution Assessment) is a suite of programs written to estimate the resolution of electron density volumes obtained by electron tomography. Basically, two different resolution methods (FSCe/o and NLOO) are implemented, along with some auxiliary tools for preparation of data needed for analysis and postprocessing. There's not a ton of documentation available online, but the README at file:///programs//electra/0.5.2/README has some usage notes.
PHENIX has been updated to the latest release version 1.6.1-357. There are release notes and updated PHENIX documentation to go with the new release. PHENIX no longer offers official OS X PowerPC binaries, and the sources refused to build on our OS X PowerPC machines. I hope to have this version running under PowerPC in a future update.
Coot has been updated to 0.6.2-pre1-r2940 for 32 and 64-bit linux platforms. I'll be sending bribes to Bill Scott to update the OS X packages shortly. There is also a new Coot home page.
CCP4mg has been updated to 2.3.0 for Intel Macs. The CCP4mg website has excellent documentation. The linux builds has some odd issues that I need to work out or report as bugs to the developers, and they no longer offer official OS X PowerPC builds. The death knell has been sounded.
HKL2000 uses a fixed-length buffer for input filenames and when working with datasets that are stored under a very deep directory structure will crash with an inscrutable memory allocation error. I reported this to HKL Software, but didn't get a response. Reported by Sun Hur, Hur Lab at the Immune Disease Institute.
There was a bug in the OS X Intel set up files that picked the wrong Coot version for OS X 10.4 machines. The set up files were changed to choose the correct version. Reported by John Williams, Williams Lab at City of Hope.
XIA2 was still set to use the expired version of XDS on Linux and OS X Intel. The preferred XDS version was changed inside the XIA2 installations. Reported by Terry Lang in the Alber Lab at UC Berkeley.
The VNC-based wrapper scripts for running 8-bit color depth X11 applications on Linux (web-8-wrapper and vnc-8-wrapper) had a bug where they would only run on versions of VNC closely based on the original AT&T version. They have been modified to run on more modern versions of VNC like TightVNC. Reported by Stefan Raunser, Raunser Lab at the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Physiology.
2dx for OS X Intel was linked against a missing CCP4 library. The application was re-linked against the proper library. Reported by Rich Hite, Walz Lab, Harvard Medical School.
With the last NMRPipe update, I added support for additional fonts to the NMRPipe set up, and it caused errors in some situations when users tried to tunnel X11 over ssh from a machine that had the software installed to one that didn't have the software installed. The error was harmless, but it has been quashed so as not to be annoying. Reported by Matthias Wolf, Harrison Lab, HMS among several others.
Coot on linux was reporting errors about missing libraries on certain unsupported systems. I added the libraries to the installation in order to hopefully make everyone's life a bit easier.
VMD on OS X was hanging with the infamous beachball. The updated VMD had a slightly different structure to their .app folders and was being read incorrectly by the OS X loader. I moved the files and folders around to match the layout of the older version, and it seems to have resolved the issue. Reported by Fred Metoz, IBS-Grenoble.
Coot 0.6.1 on OS X Intel was barfing a segmentation fault on OS X 10.5 and 10.6. I rebuilt it a half dozen times and finally got a working version. In the interim, we had fallen back to the previous version, but with this update, everyone should be running the same version of Coot. Reported by Yuri Lobsanov, Howell Lab, University of Toronto.
Ribbons was crashing with a missing Motif symbol on linux. After a bit futzing around with libraries and package settings, this should be resolved for all our supported linux platforms. Reported by Clinton Heider, Rice University and Michael Durney, D'Souza Lab, Harvard University.
web was crashing due to a bug with input file length limitations. Conversations with Dean Leith at Wadsworth confirm that there is an 80-character limit for input files for web. Reported by Montserrat Samso, Samso Lab, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Berith Isaac, Leschziner Lab, Harvard University.
XPLOR-NIH was not configured for use with OS X 10.6. Editing the platform equivalence files resolved the problem. Reported by Yunsun Nam, Sliz Lab, Harvard Medical School.
Chimera on linux was crashing while trying to save images if the machine was using certain versions of the Nvidia driver. This problem was resolved by updating to the latest version of Chimera and was reported by the inimitable Sabuj Pattanayek at Vanderbilt University.
XDS-Viewer on linux was encountering some sort of library problem resulting in missing symbols errors. The problem was resolved by switching to a static binary. Reported by Andrew Ring, UC Berkeley.
Rosetta was missing some of its helper scripts buried in the source directory. They have been copied from the source tarballs into the software tree to /programs//rosetta/3.1/build/src/apps. Reported by Remy Sounier, Chou Lab, Harvard Medical School.
Did you really read this far? Good on ya! Thanks for all your bugs reports!

Kerry Kennedy Pleads Not Guilty To DWAID Charges
July 18, 2012 | Mark Siesel
Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy and ex-wife of Governor Andrew Cuomo, was charged on July 13th with DWAID, or driving while ability impaired by drugs in Armonk, New York. The charges stem from an incident at approximately 8:00 AM on July 13, 2012 when Kennedy was allegedly driving her 2008 Lexus 350 erratically and struck a tractor-trailer on I-684 southbound near Exit 4 in Mount Kisco. Supposedly, Ms. Kennedy then left the scene and exited the highway at Exit 3 on Route 22, where she was found with a flat tire, slumped over her steering wheel, by a North Castle police officer.
Reports say that Ms. Kennedy failed the 3 Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, including the nystagmus test, walk and turn, and one leg stand. The District Attorney's Office states that Ms. Kennedy informed the investigating officer that she had taken an Ambien before driving. Ms. Kennedy has alleged that she may have had a seizure at the time of the accident, and has stated that she has no memory of anything from the time she entered 684 until a police officer was at her car door and began asking her questions.
Preliminary reports show that Ms. Kennedy had no alcohol in her system, but although she and her attorney have claimed that drugs tests were also negative, this would seem to be premature, as laboratory reports are usually not available within 4 days of a DWI charge. Ms. Kennedy is charged with the misdemeanor of DWAID, and it possible that she could also be charged with leaving the scene of a property damage accident under section 600 (1) (a) of the New York State Vehicle & Traffic Law, which is a traffic infraction and not a crime.
Ms. Kennedy was arraigned on July 17, 2012 in North Castle Town Court and pled not guilty to the charges against her. If she were convicted of the DWAID charge, she would face a six month revocation of her driver's license; a $500.00 fine and mandatory New York State surcharge of $400.00; be required to install and maintain an ignition interlock device (IID) in any vehicle she owned or operated for one year; be screened for alcohol and/or substance abuse, be required to attend a 7 week Drinking Driver Program sponsored by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (known as the "DDP"), and also be required to attend a Victim Impact Panel. Further, she would be facing an additional fine of $750.00 known as a "Driver's Responsibility Assessment" from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Ms. Kennedy was ordered to be evaluated for alcohol and drug abuse and fingerprinted by Town Justice Elyse Lazansky. She is due back in Court on August 14, 2012.

Comprising of three sequential plays, The Coast of Utopia chronicles the story of romantics and revolutionaries caught up in a struggle for political freedom in an age of emperors.The Coast of Utopia is Tom Stoppard's long-awaited and monumental trilogy that explores a group of friends who come of age under the Tsarist autocracy of Nicholas I, and for whom the term "intelligentsia" was coined. Among them are the anarchist Michael Bakunin, who was to challenge Marx for the soul of the masses; Ivan Turgenev, author of some of the most enduring works in Russian literature; the brilliant, erratic young critic Vissarion Belinsky; and Alexander Herzen, a nobleman's son and the first self-proclaimed socialist in Russia, who becomes the main focus of this drama of politics, love, loss and betrayal. In The Coast of Utopia, Stoppard presents an inspired examination of the struggle between romantic anarchy, utopian idealism and practical reformation in what The New York Times calls, "The biggest theatrical event of the year. … Brilliant, sprawling. … A rich pageant."

Sony, MRC Team on Adaptation of Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' Series

Sony Pictures and MRC will co-finance the first installment in Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" book series, sources confirm to Variety.
The first book, "The Gunslinger," has already been adapted by Akiva Goldsman and Jeff Pinkner. Goldsman and Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Erica Huggins will produce. Pinkner will exec produce.
Sony will distribute the pic, and the plan is for "The Gunslinger" to be the first in a series of films. MRC will also develop a TV series to go along with the film franchise.
"There are few projects out there that compare with the scope, vision, complex characters and fully drawn world that Stephen King has created with 'The Dark Tower,'" Sony's Entertainment Motion Picture Group chairman Tom Rothman said. "I am a giant fan. And, as Stephen himself does, we love the direction that Akiva and Jeff have taken. This is a great opportunity for a director to put his or her stamp on a cool global franchise."
The project has had plenty of budget hurdles to overcome since Howard and Grazer announced their massive plan to take on the franchise when it was originally set up at Universal. The idea was that Howard would direct three pics. A TV show would serve as a bridge between series installments. Howard is now unable to direct, and the studio will be going out to filmmakers shortly.
The addition of MRC as co-financier seems to signal that budget obstacles may be easier to overcome this time. Actors like Javier Bardem and Russell Crowe circled the lead role of Roland in the past, indicating that A-list talent sees the value in the property.
"I'm excited that 'The Dark Tower' is finally going to appear on the screen," King said. "Those who have traveled with Roland and his friends in their search for the Dark Tower are going to have their long-held hopes fully realized. This is a brilliant and creative approach to my books."
