The Unequal Burden of Cancer: An Assessment of NIH Research and Programs for Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved Research on the Relationship Between Religion and Health is a "bibliographic essay" based on the research and findings of the two researchers. The introduction explains that the authors used the phrase realized religion "...in order to approach the conundrum of studying the mystery of faith from the perspective of objective scientific methodology." In other words, it is used to bring the religion aspect to the concrete, everyday atmosphere. The authors strive to achieve this explanation the realized religion-in my view, they succeed in this endeavor. From the relationship between prayer and healing to the overall well-being of the individual, the health benefits of religion are thoroughly reviewed. Part two of the book details individual difficulties in life (such as suicide and alcohol abuse) related to prayer and religion. The content is broad and spans over various topics within the framework of Christianity. The material presented is

ically Underserved, an ensemble of medical and public health professionals, to assess the burden of cancer and the status of cancer research in these groups. Burden of Cancer is the report on the committee's findings and their recommendations on how NIH can further enhance its efforts to address ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in cancer outcomes. The committee focused on one overarching question: Is there a strategic plan for reducing the number of deaths from cancer among poor and minority individuals, and when can results be expected? As a consequence of this practical, results-driven approach, Burden of Cancer provides valuable insights into the disproportionate burden of cancer experienced by ethnic minorities and medically underserved communities. The Committee considered its charge carefully, and as a result offers an enlightening discussion aimed at defining "race" and "ethnicity" as well as "medically underserved" and "socioeconomic status." As a clue to how complex these definitions are, a significant proportion of the book is devoted to this topic. Emphasis is placed on the catholic nature of the human race and the need to progress toward measurement strategies that focus on ethnic groups. In our society, ethnicity is closely intertwined with socioeconomic status. This creates a demand for incorporating socioeconomic status data into ongoing cancer surveillance, if we hope to tease apart the variations in the cancer burden due to being medically underserved vis-a-vis being an ethnic minority. High-quality data to identify and characterize the magnitude of disparities in cancer outcomes provide the essential building blocks to develop strategies to VOL. 96, NO. 6, JUNE 2004
eliminate disparities. Thoughtful consideration of surveillance data provides a rationale for resource allocation and can fuel research by leading to new hypotheses. Burden of Cancer stresses the importance of nationwide surveillance data. The United States currently has two sources of cancer surveillance data-the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The SEER program has the highest-quality data, but the committee argues that it lacks adequate representation of ethnic minorities. In contrast, a strength of the nationwide NPCR is representativeness, but the data quality does not measure up to that of SEER, with a notable lack of data to address cancer survivorship. The committee recommends further investment in developing these resources with an eye toward richer data that is more nationally representative. Part of this investment would be used to more comprehensively assess the ethnic group membership of cancer patients, a data element that the committee found wanting. Since Burden of Cancer was published, the first report on nationwide cancer incidence, which incorporated SEER and NPCR data, was published.' As an example of how nationally representative data may be helpful, the percentage difference in lung cancer incidence rates between African-American and Caucasian men was 26% in the NPCR/SEER data, compared to 45% in the SEER data alone. A clear ethnic group disparity exists regardless of data source, but in gauging the extent of the disparity, a lingering question is to what extent the NPCR versus SEER difference is attributable to representativeness versus data quality. By characterizing disparities,
cancer surveillance data provides a blueprint for setting an agenda for in-depth studies within and across ethnic and medically underserved groups. The committee identifies a need for expanding populationbased research in this area. The topic of cancer survivorship is accorded an important place in the research agenda. Minority group participation in research studies is also touched upon. The capacity of the nation's cancer research enterprise to address the issue of ethnic and socioeconomic disparities hinges on the ethnic and socioeconomic composition of the researchers themselves. The committee points out that ethnic composition of the research community needs to better reflect the ethnic diversity of the U.S. population. It would be unreasonable to expect Burden of Cancer to provide a detailed map for how to eliminate the existing disparities, but through a series of well-reasoned recommendations, it does well to provide us with a description of where we are, a vision of where we need to be, and a compass. The ultimate value of this publication will be evidenced by the progress we make toward eliminating the existing ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in cancer outcomes in the coming years. The control of cancer, the second leading cause of death in the United States, is so vitally important to the public's health that Burden of Cancer is highly relevant to all those working to eliminate health disparities. Burden of Cancer will be a particularly critical addition to the bookshelves of population-based cancer researchers with interests in cancer epidemiology, prevention, and control. By providing a cogent summary and overview of the ethnic and socioeconomic cancer disparities, it also provides an excellent reference for a much wider audience.

Eating Disorders Edited by Mario Maj, Katherine Halmi, Juan Jose Lopez-lbor, and Norman Sartorius; Wiley Publishers, 2003; ISBN 0470848650; 435 pages
Eating Disorders is the sixth volume in the series, Evidence and Experience in Psychiatry of the World Psychiatric Association's WPA series. This publication derives largely from studies in North America and Europe involving white subjects. As such, it may have limited application in better understanding eating disorders commonly found among black Americans. Since at least the time of Homo erectus a million or so years ago on the African continent, we have been hunters and gatherers living in a world of food scarcity. As such, we ate any sugars, fats, and salt we could find because we did not know from where our next meal was coming. We not only developed practices to increase our access to these foods, but our bodies developed a physiology to conserve those foods once they were eaten. About 10,000 years ago, we began to move from a hunting and gathering society to an agricultural society. This occurred first in the area of the Fertile Crescent (present Iraq) and only later moved south. The shift VOL. 96, NO. 6, JUNE 2004 859
Report "From the relationship between - NCBI - NIH"


\r\n"We regret to announce..... that... due to an accident... the... 12.09 service.... from Howth.... is... on time. Iarnród Éireann apologises for any inconvenience caused"
\r\nIarnrod Eireann - Getting There!
\r\nI was on the train from Waterford to Dublin one Monday morning. The usual announcement came over the intercom 'Iarnrod Eireann would like to advise passengers that this train will NOT be serving Kilkenny, this train will be stopping at Thomastown, KILKENNY, Carlow, Athy, Kildare and Dublin Heuston'. I looked at my brother somewhat confused at the contradiction! This was promptly followed by another announcement 'Iarnrod Eireann would like to advise passengers that this train will NOT be serving Kildare, this train will be stopping at Thomastown, Kilkenny, Carlow, Athy, KILDARE and Dublin Heuston', at this point some random passenger shouts out 'ya muppet ya, will ya make up you're f*cking mind', cue laughter from all around the carriage!
\r\nThere was then another announcement stating that 'Tea, coffee, sandwiches and a selection of snacks are available from the snack car, which is situated towards the centre of the train'. Nice one, I thought, as we were situation towards the centre of the train. However, after walking through about what seemed like 10 carriages, I finally found the snack car at the REAR of the train! The passenger in front of me was trying to order some food and asked what sandwiches were available and was told 'eh, we've no sandwiches available', so he asked for a couple of packets of crisp and was told 'eh, we've no crisps'. Getting slightly irate, the passenger said 'ok so, I'll have two cans of coke please' only to be told 'there's no coke'. 'So what the f*ck do you have, you said you had a selection of sandwiches and light snacks', to which the reply was ' eh, we have tea and coffee that's all, sure you know yourself, it's a Monday morning and no one stocked up the train'! Classic, 'Iarnord Eireann, Getting There' but you might miss your stop or starve along the way!
\r\nOn an Iarnrod Eireann train the following announcement was made on an almost painfully loud PA: "Will passengers please note, the crew have no control over the volume of the PA"
\r\n"NINE HOURS?!?" in a raised voice.
\r\n"Well it\'s really 4 hours but it doesn\'t sound too bad now does it."
\r\nOn the train from Galway to Dublin, the train stopped for no apparent reason just passed Athlone. After five minutes the driver came on the speaker and said we\'re just waiting for the 18.15 from Heuston to Galway to pass us. (There\'s only one track). Five minutes later he repeated this explanation. Five minutes later again he came back on the speaker and said "If the driver of the 18.15 train from Heuston to Galway is on this train can he please go to the guard\'s van". Cue very perplexed faces on all the passengers.
Surely there\'s some legal obligation for IE to at least have the internal displays and announcements working for disabled people? It would be a useful stick to beat them with.
In Boston there\'s a law requiring ALL public transport vechicles to make announcements, including busses.
\nIf there\'s no automatic system in place, the driver has to do it on a mic, or in some of the MBTA\'s oldest busses, by shouting down the bus at each stop.
\nThe new busses all had GPS-based systems that announced each major junction and stop the bus passed. They also had external speakers which announced info about the bus at the stop!
\nThe on-train systems were audio-only but comparable to the Luas and the DART when it\'s system works.
\nThere has been ongoing issues since IE haven\'t updated the software on the 29000 fleet so the 17:33 ex Bray has strange destinations in front.
\nDriver in this case failed to follow the defined protocol to modify the on train information it specifically states what to do its printed on a notice on the bulkhead on the left cab wall.

Just wondering how come the platform audio announcement didn\'t follow the real time information? The audio announcement stated Longford. Do staff manually play this announcement?
Thanks for that he says with a glass of champaigne in his hand as he sits at home with a throat infection tonight! Happy 2006 and hopefully many more successes to come!
\r\nNo external displays working and the wrong destination shown in rear, showing Bray instead of Howth.
Just to add one more in. On this afternoons 12.47 ex clonsilla to pearse the visual stated that it was going to pearse as did the audio but when it got to connolly it stated "The next station is Dublin Connolly, this is the final stop on this service" yet the visual stated pearse station. A few bewildered passengers asked "i thought this was going to pearse?" Anyway the train got into connolly platform 6 and then the announcement "the next station is tara street" and the train went on"
I\'ve heard that for the Customer Information Displays on the platforms to work on they must be connected to the Main Signalling Control Computer in Connolly. Currently Greystones, Drogheda, Dundalk and the Maynooth Line are not connected to this main signalling computer in Connolly CTC and are instead controlled locally.
\r\nI\'ve also heard that due to manning levels and technical issues in CTC Connolly, the displays at these locations will probably not be connected to the main computer and thence the Info Displays until the Suburban re-signalling is completed (DASH Phase 2). So it will be at least a couple of more years before these displays will work properly.
I\'ve attached the picture from this morning\'s (07 Feb 2006) 0645 Kildare to Heuston. Due to the limitations of my camera phone and the size restrictions, you may not believe it but it is Kildare!!!!
\r\nGorey - Maynooth 15.15 ex Greystones. 2801/02/09/10/11/12 - No internal PIS working. Good train crew announcements. Greystones station boards not working.
\r\nmuppets, I even told the manager in charge this was going to happen but do IE care ?
\r\nannouncments became "the next station is _____"
\r\nDisplay showing: "This is a southbound train to Out of service" the whole way.
Last night was great fun.
Not sure if this is the right section of the forum, but i was on the 07.15 service from Port to Heuston this morning with my wife. It was ridiculously cold even taking into account the weather. Its not the first time this has happened. I\'m sick of it. I pay enough bloody money for a sh!te service, without having to bring a flippin hot water bottle with me to work. Surely that breaks health regulations?
\r\nDoes anybody know who I should venting my spleen at? I have submitted polite observations online before with no response. Anybody, please, help?
\nNot much point in writting as IE don\'t write back, we know this. IE will claim they do but experience says otherwise and we can produce a heap of people.

California's Silicon Valley has roots deep in the classrooms and labs of Stanford University.
Likewise, development of the Boston's high-tech corridor was largely driven by MIT.
Will programs now underway at RIT ultimately spur an economic and technical renaissance in the Rochester area?
Maybe so. The university is stepping up its efforts in this regard. The overall goal: Provide experiences, mentoring and coursework that foster entrepreneurial thinking.
"Studies have proven that people who have had that experiential education are much more likely to start businesses later in life," says Richard DeMartino, director of the Simone Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and associate professor of management, Saunders College of Business. "Maybe not right out of school, but soon after that. The age at which young college graduates start businesses is getting younger and younger."
This is good news for the region, says Sandra Parker, president and CEO, Rochester Business Alliance.
"It has been the small businesses that have sustained the area over the past decade as the large companies have cut back," she says. "That's going to be even more true in the future. We look to the young, educated people for the innovation and business growth we need and we work closely with the area colleges and universities to encourage that."
Simone Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SimoneCenter.rit.edu), founded four years ago, the umbrella for a collection of academic programs and facilities, including a student business incubator within RIT's Venture Creations business incubator.
Center for Student Innovation (innovation.rit.edu), a multi-faceted facility opened last year where students from all disciplines can collaborate, brainstorm, build, and showcase their ideas.
Entrepreneurs Hall (entrepreneurship.rit.edu), which combines a residential facility and academic courses, mentoring, co-ops, and 24/7 access to the Center for Student Innovation. Entrepreneurs Hall, opening this September, gained national attention in "Incubation Nation: Where Great Ideas Are Born," an article in the May 2010 issue of Inc. magazine.
Shark Tank business presentation competition. In the first of what is intended to become an annual program, 17 groups of students summed up their business ideas in short "elevator talks" before a panel of business people, and $3,500 in prize money was awarded.
RIT48, also new this spring, a weekend event that brought students from across campus together to collaborate, receive coaching from professionals, develop an idea for a startup company and present it to a panel of judges. To see a video on the inaugural event, visit www.youtube.com/user/RITUniversityNews.
Deaf Entrepreneurship Research Initiative, a multidisciplinary effort to explore the current state of deaf entrepreneurship. Funded by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the project involves NTID, the Saunders College of Business, the Simone Center and the Lab for Social Computing. The initiative hopes to announce research results by June 2011, says DeMartino, principal investigator.

Iconic Banksia rescued
Saturday 2 August 2008 3:10PM (view full episode)
Researchers in Western Australia have increased the genetic diversity of a critically endangered Banksia. Using material from extinct populations in research in Britain, scientists have brought back seedlings for planting in WA thereby increasing the genetic diversity of plants in the wild.
Robyn Williams: Over in Kew Gardens in London there's a Millennium Seed Bank containing squillions of seeds, many of them from Australia. And when the numbers of our Banksia species declined because of disease, a rescue mission was mounted. This is Anne Cochrane from the Department of Environment and Conservation in Albany Western Australia.
Anne Cochrane: Well, Banksia brownii is an iconic species from the south coast of Western Australia and it occurs around Albany and it occurs in the Stirling Ranges National Park which is about 100 kilometres north of Albany. This area is this biodiversity hotspot in Australia. Banksia brownii was first collected in 1829 by William Baxter, and it wasn't until 2000 that it became critically endangered because we realised how much we were losing of the populations through dieback disease, Phytophthora cinnamomi. So we've had a program of spraying and we've also had a program of reintroducing these species into the wild.
There are three groups of populations, and genetic information has just come out that in fact there are actually three separate entities. This is quite important because for our reintroductions we have to reintroduce species from one area into the same area. We don't want to mix those populations because they are actually genetically different. Some of this material went across to Kew last year for some research I was doing on climate change, and then I brought the seedlings back, and this is the first time seedling material has been repatriated from the Millennium Seed Bank and come back to its country of origin, and we planted it back out into the wild.
The information that's come to light there from the germination of some of this material is that we have material from extinct populations in the wild. And my genetic conservationist colleagues have looked at it and 30% of the genetic variation as sampled by the DNA markers are unique to those extinct populations. So basically we have some genetic diversity in our seed bank that's not out there in the wild. So we've been able to put that material back out into the wild. So it just shows how important seed conservation is in keeping genetic diversity of species.
Robyn Williams: Will those small plantings be able to proliferate?
Anne Cochrane: We hope so, yes. We've got three separate groups now of these reintroductions contributed by the different population entities, and they will hopefully survive in the wild, they're doing really well. They have a long juvenile period so they won't flower for maybe five to ten years. So it is, it's a long time to see how they do, but we are hopeful that they will adapt to their new situation. We can't put seedlings back out into the wild in the Stirling Ranges because of the extent of the disease infestation, but we hope that the security of these populations will be assured because of seed conservation and because of the recovery efforts that we've been doing.
Robyn Williams: Won't the plague knock them off again?
Anne Cochrane: We now have a lot more knowledge of hygiene and we're very mindful that you bathe your feet in bleach or methylated spirit before you go onto these sites. We just make sure basically that we're not transmitting any disease. We didn't know about this maybe 50 years ago when people went walking in the Stirling Ranges. We put roads and tracks through, dirty equipment that's moved from a diseased site to a non-diseased site. So basically we have a lot more knowledge of how we can secure these places.
Robyn Williams: And if any careful travellers going through the bush want to recognise it, what do they look for?
Anne Cochrane: It's called the feather-leaf Banksia, Banksia brownii, and they'll actually find pictures in Stirling Range flora books, they'll find information on the web if they go to Wikipedia, and because it's called the feather-leafed Banksia, it looks like a feather, and it's bright green and has a lovely yellow flower. I think you'll find information, and it's a very, very attractive species.

Edition No. 172 September 2 – 8, 2017
Willem Dafoe's dark charisma has helped him build a career on complicated, often villainous roles, but for his latest film he narrates a documentary about adventurers who climb and throw themselves off mountains. Such people push themselves to the edge, as Dafoe does. But he says he is not so brave – "I don't even want to go in a hot-air balloon" – and admits to vertigo. By Susan Chenery.
Death-defying actor Willem Dafoe

Credit: Mark Rogers
Let's get dying out of the way first. Willem Dafoe is known for dying in most of his films. "I have died more than anyone in cinema, I think," the actor says.
Usually it is by gunshot, but sometimes his demise is particularly creative or even spectacular. Other times it is almost cartoonish.
There have been a few explosions, such as in xXx: State of the Union, when his train was hit by a missile, Speed 2: Cruise Control, when his hydroplane and an oil tanker collided; impalement by way of a giant statue in his head, as in Ripley Under Ground; being run over with his own car in Pasolini; a crucifixion for The Last Temptation of Christ; a couple of fatal falls – over a cliff in The Grand Budapest Hotel and off a balcony in Once Upon a Time in Mexico; and one spontaneous combustion, in Shadow of the Vampire.
"You need a good entrance and a good exit," Dafoe says cheerfully. "It is also good practice – I will be really good when the time comes. I'll say, 'I've got this'." He quickly qualifies: "In theory. Probably I will be screaming like everyone else."
"They are all the same man played by the same actor, only one has a better hairdo or one has a better outfit."
It might seem that directors go to him when they want someone people dislike enough to kill. "Or," he says with an arched eyebrow, "that threaten people enough to kill." But it is more to do with the roles he chooses and what happens in the films to which he's attracted. Clearly Dafoe doesn't do happy endings.
One of the world's great character actors, he has always been an enigmatic presence on the screen: intense, morally questionable, yet charismatic. Dafoe films are shot in a muted, monochromatic palette – a lifetime of blue notes and noir – and even when they are not, he brings the darkness. When it comes to transgression, he's your man. His characters are often ambiguous, crossing lines, living double lives. They are not one-dimensional villains, they're flawed, alluring, complicated.
Given the dark worlds he seems to exist in, it is somewhat of a surprise to find him a sweet and sunny man. As soon as he ambles into the Golden Age bar in Sydney's Surry Hills, the fun starts. He snuggles up to Jennifer Peedom, whose documentary Mountain he has narrated. "It needed to be a particular voice," says Peedom, "the right person with the right associations. And he just kind of had all that. A big name and a reputation as a real artist, not just a Hollywood actor."
At 62, with a huge body of work behind him, Dafoe's famous face has hollowed out over the years. It's a face that on screen holds depth and secrets, with an intensity in the hooded blue eyes, and expression in the lines that crisscross under the sharp cheekbones and the wide mouth. But today it is soft and lit with humour.
He speaks quietly, thoughtfully. While he is happy to agree that he chooses his roles for their artistic merit and not Hollywood box-office popularity, he is well aware of the absurdity of the hyperbole and disproportionate amount of attention that comes with pretending for a living.
"It is also a silly job. You know, talking right now is fun but it is also kind of egotistical and we are feeding the monster," he says. "Sometimes I really think if I was a really decent person I would go off and do charity. I have done and I do. But making things is a way to contribute. If you make things they lift you up. They get you away from yourself, but they are a product of your life so it feels useful."
Dafoe is no stranger to Australia. Currently filming Aquaman on the Gold Coast, he was here for the 2009 sci-fi vampire film Daybreakers, and The Hunter in 2011, a taut performance in the misty Tasmanian wilderness. "The climax builds brilliantly," noted The Observer of the latter, "with Dafoe's craggy face gradually becoming part of the rocks and trees, his sinewy, prowling presence increasingly animalistic and instinctual." He also came to Adelaide back in 2001 with his Wooster theatre company for Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape.
"I always say that once you have taken that trip to Australia everything else feels like a little puddle jump."
Dafoe must be one of the few actors to have played both Christ (The Last Temptation of Christ) and the Antichrist (in the titular role for the Lars von Trier horror film that shocked the Cannes Film Festival in 2009). He transforms and contorts – he has also been vampires, and the Green Goblin in Spider-Man (died on his own lethal glider in No. 3). "They are all the same man played by the same actor," he says of this cohort of larger-than-life characters, "only one has a better hairdo or one has a better outfit. Working on location, which is often remote, there is nothing to remind you of who you are normally, it is total immersion."
He finds such roles in everything from Hollywood blockbusters to foreign films to tiny independent productions.
"It is a tendency to want to vary your diet and exercise different muscles, I think. Partly for career health. I think if you keep going to the same place, you develop habits that are hard to break. And you kind of bore yourself. I guess I am somewhat reactive. Like, sometimes I will read a script and say, 'I could really run with this, wow this is a great role for me', then I step back and say, 'Oh wait, wait, wait. Let's really look at this.' Because if it satisfies certain things it feels like you can just strut your stuff.
"I like to come in more through the back door. I trust that more, you know. If I know it already, you will arrive and you will be flat and all you have to do is craft your way to deliver up the goods. I am not that kind of performer."
The foundation to all of this risk-taking can be found in his early acting days with the experimental Wooster Group, which he helped found in Manhattan in the 1970s to produce original work. "It is in that kind of physical theatre that I find most satisfaction. In the poetry of things." The experimentalist has simply transferred to film.
Dafoe was born in Appleton, Wisconsin. His father, a surgeon, and his mother, a nurse, worked together and weren't around much. One of seven, Willem was raised by his five older sisters in a kind of benign neglect. He was thrown out of Appleton high school for making a film about oddballs, which included nudity.
He studied drama at the University of Wisconsin but dropped out to join his first experimental theatre group. He was in a relationship with the Wooster Group director Elizabeth LeCompte for 27 years, and they have a son, Jack. Dafoe has since said they never married, although he wanted to, because to her it represented "ownership". A year after they broke up he married Italian filmmaker Giada Colagrande, whom he met on a street in Rome in 2004. He knew her films and they had friends in common. As he recounts, they were having lunch one day when he asked, "Do you want to get married tomorrow?" Dafoe has since starred in all her films, and the couple lives between Rome, New York and Los Angeles. Once you are in an Italian family, I venture, that is it – you are in for life. "For better or worse," he agrees. "For me they are very sweet people. I have friends and family there who take care of me."
Dafoe's big breakthrough came in 1986 with Oliver Stone's Platoon (died after being riddled with bullets). It was followed by the unforgettably sleazy character of Bobby Peru in David Lynch's Wild at Heart in 1990 (blew his own head off with a shotgun.)
Dafoe returns frequently to the same directors, some of them on the far side of stable. After being pounded by the media defending Antichrist, he went back to von Trier for Nymphomaniac (2013), his third film with the difficult, depressive Dane. He has worked on four films with Abel Ferrara, his neighbour in Rome, the most recent being Pasolini, about the last days of the brilliant, controversial Italian filmmaker and poet, killed by a rent boy in contested circumstances.
"If you read his writings, his critical writings," Dafoe has said, "see his films, read his poetry – you flirt with some original thinking, and it inspires me to be braver."
He has also worked with American auteur Wes Anderson several times.
"On some level I like to attach myself to someone who has a very strong vision and is highly articulate and you help them tell their stories and help them make their worlds. Also you don't have to deal with issues of trust. If something goes well, you continue. You find people who turn you on, so why not go back to them? It is about being with those people and having them bring out the best in you. And having you once again feel as full and engaged.
"Also they use you as part of their language and once you learn their language then you are free because you can offer a lot of your energy towards execution rather than invention. The most beautiful part of performing for me is the execution."
When he was watching footage for Mountain for the first time his wife kept asking if he was alright. "I was shouting 'Oh no, oh no. Faark..." It's a film that gives you vertigo – a soaring, sublime documentary about mountains and what draws people to attempt to conquer them. There's an adrenalin rush in the vision of mountaineers, ice climbers, free soloists, speed flyers, snowboarders, mountain bikers and wingsuitors – all those who stand on narrow ledges above the world in these high, unforgiving places.
The film is a collaboration between Jennifer Peedom and Richard Tognetti's Australian Chamber Orchestra, with the bulk of cinematography by Renan Ozturk, who also shot Peedom's Sherpa.
Mountain people push themselves to the edge, as Dafoe does. But he says he is not so brave – "I don't even want to go in a hot-air balloon" – and admits to vertigo.
"When I go over a very high bridge, it calls me in a disturbing way. 'Come, come... You could change everything in one second. All you have to do is step over here.' You have no idea how strong it is."
Dafoe has never become blasé about filming on location, arriving at first light to join the circus of the film set. "I love to see the day starting. I just shot a movie in London. And I am going to work at five in the morning, it's quiet, there is only the street cleaners, and I am one of them and I am going to work. It feels like I beat everybody to the punch, y'know. The day starts and it starts to find its rhythm, whereas if the day has started without you then you have kind of got to catch up. Whereas when I get up nobody is doing anything, so you can start from zero."
If he gets stuck working up a character he remembers the words of American hard-boiled crime writer Raymond Chandler, even if he's unsure of the attribution.
"I don't know if it was Dashiell Hammett or one of those guys, but when he got stuck writing he would always have a man come to the door with a gun. And that would get to the new place and then he could erase it once he got through that knot and things were flowing again. He could dismantle that and rework it.
"Sometimes you need those things to push you to the next place."
For Dafoe, of course, the man with the gun is likely to be about to kill him. Again.

Q: How to save and load a DNN classifier in tensorflow? How do I save and load a DNN classifier in tensorflow? Asking this for the default Iris classifier program given. (https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/estimator)

A: To save and reuse the classifier you can just reload it with the same model_dir path.
For example in the method you want to use the classifier you can just create the classifier again with the same model_dir. This will reload it from what ever state it was previously.
I use this for training and then reload it for testing single examples.
tf.estimator.DNNClassifier
(feature_columns=feature_columns,
hidden_units=[10, 20, 10],
n_classes=3,
model_dir="/tmp/iris_model")

A: Save
The first thing you need to do is to create a tensorflow Saver object inside your session:
with tf.Session(graph=graph) as sess:
    saver = tf.train.Saver()

Then, after your training - and still inside the session -, you call the save method:
saver.save(sess, 'path/to/model_file')

You don't need to specify file extension since the save method will do it for you.
Load
To restore the model, you open a new session (without a graph, of course) and do like this:
with tf.Session() as sess:
    new_saver = tf.train.import_meta_graph('path/to/model_file.meta')
    new_saver.restore(sess, tf.train.latest_checkpoint('path/to/model_dir/'))

    # restore the tensors you want (usually, the ones you use in feed_dict and sess.run)
    graph = tf.get_default_graph()
    x = graph.get_tensor_by_name("x:0")
    output = graph.get_tensor_by_name("output:0")

    feed_dict = {x:x}
    [result] = sess.run([output], feed_dict=feed_dict)

You can also check this tutorial about saving and restoring tensorflow models. I hope it helps!

Barcelona's Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez (R) celebrates his second goal during the Spanish league football match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona on October 28, 2018.
Pre-match talk in this Catalan city has all week been about how much, not if, Barcelona would win this epic fixture against their struggling bitter rivals.
In the end it was an annihilation, Luis Suarez helping himself to a hat trick squeezed in between Philippe Coutinho's opener and Arturo Vidal's last goal in a 5-1 win.
Even without Lionel Messi, Real Madrid were always going to struggle after enduring a wretched start to life without Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Madrid side had had a five-match winless streak which only ended this week with a Uefa Champions League win over Plzen.
But even their staunchest of fans must have known as they made their way here that they faced defeat.
Not that there were many Real fans inside a raucous Nou Camp - La Liga organisers confirmed only 500 tickets would go to the opposition - as Barca fans propelled their side to a memorable victory.
But it must be said there were tense moments, not least after Marcelo had pulled one back for Real just after halftime.
Two-nil up after just 30 minutes through goals from Coutinho and Suarez, it was not until Suarez's headed effort midway through the second half that Barca were able to relax.
They had endured a nerve-racking period in the aftermath of Marcelo's goal - and Karim Benzema should really have brought them level but wasted a headed effort.
Buoyed by almost 100 000 fans, even the mighty Barca showed some panic as Real pushed exerted some pressure.
But Barca's class shone through in murky, overcast and cold conditions on a day that Spain switched the clocks to winter time.
There was no turning back, however, from the moment Coutinho scored after being set up by Rafinha. Then the Suarez show began, the Uruguay striker converting a penalty and then scoring with a spectacular header.
His third was a dinked effort that sent the Nou Camp into delirium. At that stage Real had given up.
No wonder no one picked substitute Vidal as he planted a late header beyond keeper Thibaut Courtois.

In early July, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced the withdrawal of lands identified for solar energy development in the West from new mining claims that could impede development of solar energy sites. Public Land Order No. 7818 (PLO 7818) withdraws 303,900 acres of land within 17 Solar Energy Zones in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. You can read the PLO 7818 here.
Under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, BLM is charged with managing the public lands for multiple uses. BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, land known as the "National System of Public Lands." The National System of Public Lands are primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. BLM recently confirmed that in Fiscal Year 2012 activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the states where the activities occurred. In addition, it reported that public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.
In October 2012, the Department of the Interior established the Solar Energy Zones as part of a western solar plan that provides a road map for utility-scale solar energy development on lands managed by the BLM in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. According to BLM, the "Solar Energy Zones encompass the lands most suitable for solar energy development because of their excellent solar resources, access to existing or planned transmission, and relatively low conflict with biological, cultural and historic resources." Since 2009, BLM has approved right-of-way applications for 25 solar energy development projects with planned total capacity of over 8,000 megawatts, or enough to power over 2.4 million homes. PLO 7818 withdraws the public lands encompassed by Solar Energy Zones for 20 years from potentially conflicting uses, including mining, subject to valid existing use rights, and opens the door to additional solar energy development projects in these states.


When market conditions and prices go against portfolio some traders say 'I can't unwind my portfolio at this time to take a loss...'. But in reality the losses has already been incurred and by not unwinding they only fool themselves with a false uncertain hope. Its true that they bought and hold the portfolio in good times but... . Similar is the case of relationships. Sometimes its better to accept the reality. The discussion of breakup starts only when the situation is already out of control !


The Eltham Arts Winter Festival, which ran from 31 October to 22 November, created a first-ever platform for local creative talent – existing, emerging and new, to showcase the rich artistic and cultural life of this part of the Royal Greenwich borough.
The 23-day arts fest offered more than 120 events from art exhibitions, music competitions, crafting, literary and historical tours, beer festivals and theatre. The diversity of venues reflected the community with events taking place in community halls, local pubs and retailers as well as established arts and historical venues. The offerings also included a first-time Art Trail including over 18 different venues around the SE9 area. The varied programme also featured a tour of the Avery Hill Mansion House as well as various healthy walks with Greenwich Get Walking.
The Festival was organised by Eltham Arts, a voluntary community organisation, who responded to a suggestion by its network of individual artists and artistic groups. Taking up the call several months ago, the Eltham Arts Committee started busily putting together the eclectic programme of events and the Art Trail. An array of artistic talent was unearthed of existing arts practitioners, of emerging artists but the call also sparked creativity in those needing a bit of encouragement and confidence.
The celebratory opening event on 31 October in Eltham's Passey Place, set the tone with its playful poetry, mellow music and children's crafty fun, the latter in conjunction with nearby Eltham GPO pub. The costumed cast of Wizard of Oz, a regal town crier and some friendly visiting local police added to the fun.
Meanwhile as the umbrella of the Festival closes for this year, the artistic and cultural life of Eltham continues with plenty of ongoing artistic happenings.
Eltham Arts has so far organised many creative events in the local area including a short story, poetry and postcard competitions, live music events, talks, tweetups, conferences and quizzes.

Q: Unable to delete Active Directory user I have one particular AD user, nothing really special about them that I'm aware of, that I'm unable to delete.  The error is the "You do not have sufficient privileges to delete..." with the CN data which oddly has something about iPad App and ExchangeActiveSyncDevices in it and then "...or this object is protected from accidental deletion."
The accidental deletion protection option is off.  I can't delete it from an account escalated to administrator nor from a full administrator login.  This is not the only person with an iPad that has synced to our Exchange server.  Is that a real clue or is it a misleading error?  What else could be blocking deletion?

A: In AD Users and Computers, in the View menu, select the Users, Contacts, Groups and Computers as Containers option.
Find your user object there, and you'll probably see some sub-objects beneath the user object, such as certificates or similar things. To delete the user, right-click on the "folder" for the user object, and select Delete.
You will then probably get a prompt titled Confirm Subtree Deletion that explains the user object contains other objects (i.e. the certs or whatever). Just click OK to confirm deletion.
In Powershell, it's:
Remove-ADUser MyUser -recursive -Confirm:$false

A: Got it finally!  Had to go into ADSI Edit, find the user, go to the Exchange folder under her CN there.  Open that up and take ownership (it was assigned to some random string instead of a real user).  Once doing that I was able to give myself full security control on those objects that no one had control over before (including SELF).  Finally once THAT was complete I could delete her account the normal way.


Domain Manager - the proper way to manage a domain. Learn more about domain manages and their options.
Being able to effortlessly administer your domains is rather essential and can boost your user experience as a hosting client. The solutions that plenty of hosting companies use are not that easy to use, so you can frequently find yourself in a situation where you have to switch between different admin interfaces to complete a particular task, even if you have one domain name. Not only is this inconvenient, but it also requires more time and effort in comparison to having an all-encompassing Control Panel where you can access everything you require without signing in and out all the time. For example, registering a brand new domain, hosting it and uploading the website files associated with it entails the use of no less than two separate interfaces, especially in case you are using the most popular hosting solutions on the market.
If you get a hosting package from us, you'll acquire access to a feature-rich Domain Manager, which is built into our all-in-one Hepsia Control Panel. You'll be able to register a brand new domain and then to host it or park it, to activate Whois Privacy Protection or to edit its WHOIS details with only several clicks of the mouse. Using quick-access buttons, you'll also be able to create a sub-domain, a mailbox or a database, to keep track of traffic statistics, to access the website files or to request a new Secure Sockets Layer certificate. All functions are conveniently assembled and are available in one single location, which will spare you lots of time, so you'll never have to sign out of the Domain Manager tool. You will not experience any difficulties, since we have included help articles and video lessons to reveal the full potential of our domain name management tool.
Our semi-dedicated servers will grant you total control over your domains. The accounts are administered through our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel and the domains in particular – via the Domain Manager tool, which is powerful, yet incredibly simple to work with. You will be able to do more or less everything from a single place – domain name registrations, renewals, Whois Privacy Protection options and WHOIS modifications are all just a single click away, but you'll also be able to carry out many more operations, such as creating an e-mail or a sub-domain, accessing your website files or examining web traffic stats for any of the domain names registered under the semi-dedicated account. These options are accessible via quick-access buttons and right-click menus, which will spare you plenty of time, particularly if you'd like to perform multiple operations simultaneously. They will make administering your domain names astonishingly easy, even if you've got little or no experience.

O Mandela United Football Club foi um clube de futebol de fachada para uma milícia particular criada em 1985 por Winnie Madikizela, então esposa do ex-presidente da África do Sul, Nelson Mandela, e responsável por várias mortes e torturas. O clube nunca disputou uma partida, sendo que sua única função era cuidar da segurança de Winnie e da casa que tinha em Soweto.

Histórico
Em 1991 Winnie foi condenada pela morte de um rapaz, Stompie Moeketsi, por integrantes de sua milícia, e por desvio do time de futebol; isto não impediu que viesse, no ano seguinte, candidatar-se a deputada do parlamento, embora o episódio tenha sido um dos motivos para que Mandela anunciasse publicamente, em 1992, que iria se separar dela.

Anos depois, perante a Comissão da Verdade e Reconciliação, um dos integrantes de sua milícia confirmou que, agindo sob suas ordens, havia assassinado um rapaz.

Perante a comissão seu ex-motorista John "Motho" Morgan afirmou que Winnie queimava e mandava surrar aqueles que a desagradassem. Disse que seus seguidores adolescentes do clube de futebol andavam armados, molestavam garotas e roubavam carros - além de terem matado dois jovens negros de Soweto - a doméstica Kuki Zwane e Stomple Seipei, este com 14 anos - embora não tivesse assistido às execuções.

As audiências da Comissão foram convocadas a pedido da própria Winnie, que esperava limpar seu nome de dezoito acusações. Ali, cinco de seus ex-aliados passaram a revelar os crimes da ex-Primeira-Dama, havendo ainda dezenas de outras testemunhas.

Maggie Phumlile Dlamini, uma das pessoas a depor, afirmou ter sido surrada, a mando de Winnie, depois que esta descobriu que ela estava grávida de um de seus jovens amantes, e que seu irmão, Tholakile Dlamini, também membro do time de futebol, fora morto pelos rapazes a mando dela.

Outras tantas testemunhas depuseram, informando que Winnie estava por trás de vários homicídios, desaparecimentos e torturas. O Mandela Futebol Clube era uma multidão incontrolável, a serviço dos caprichos de Winnie.

Diante dos depoimentos, o advogado de Winnie protestou, dizendo que elas mentiam - sendo então advertido a ater-se às questões de fatos, pois ali não se procedia a um julgamento contra a então deputada - pelo presidente da Comissão, o Arcebispo Desmond Tutu. Anos depois Winnie declarou que tudo não passou de um circo religioso de Tutu e um bando de cretinos.

We are always here to help you address major life events and financial changes, but we also want to share some simple ways to increase your savings now.
Changing major aspects of your budget - such as your housing or healthcare costs - can significantly impact your savings potential, but may also take time to implement. To start saving more today, look at the little places where you spend money and see where you can trim your expenses. For example, do you eat lunch out every day or buy a specialty coffee most mornings? Do you have entertainment packages you aren't really using, such as cable TV or online memberships? Saving a few dollars each day can add up to thousands of dollars over a year, which is money you can put toward your retirement.
Effective retirement strategies often focus on building a clear vision of how you would like to spend life after your career. As you go about your daily life and make financial decisions, how often do you reflect on this vision? Rather than only thinking about your retirement goals during financial reviews or major choices, start incorporating this picture into your regular decision-making process. For example, each time you make a purchase, ask yourself if you'd rather have this item or put the money toward the retirement you desire. You may discover that by grounding each purchase in this way, you spend less on items you don't really care about - and have more money to put toward the retirement you've dreamed about.
U.S. employees lose $24 billion a year by not saving enough in their 401(k) to claim their company's full matching. If your employer matches your retirement contributions, make sure you contribute at least enough to claim what is essentially free money. And if you are age 50 or older, remember that you can contribute an extra $6000 each year to your 401(k) on top of the $18,000 annual limit.
Saving for retirement is a big responsibility, but it does not have to be a burden. With these simple changes - and support from professionals who care about your future - you can focus on creating a lifestyle that matches your dreams.

Audi branching out on BlogAds. For a recent award winning campaign, Audi spent 0.5% of their media spend on a Blog Ad promotion. This led to 29% of the visits on the campaign homepage, which is a pretty astounding number. For me, it shows the use of blogs as an advertising channel can tighten the targeting, providing ads that are far more in context with what is being looked for.

Rollyo is a great tool to find new resources. The team have put a new front end on Yahoo! search, allowing yoiu to create custom searches of up to 25 blogs, creating a node of excellence for subjects you are interested in. The key is that by allowing you to look at the searches created by others, the tools bring authority and recommendations to search. Using one of the search rolls, you know the results are from pages that someone else has found trustworthy. It introduces a higher level of searching – how do I find a cluster of trusted searches in the subject I want.

Q: Why does passing parameters via Link react-router not work? React-Router-v6 How I am calling Link
<Link to={{ pathname: row.route, partname: "test" }} className='nav-links'>
  <Button variant="contained">Choose {row.name}</Button>
</Link>

How I am trying to access it:
export default function Products() {
    const location = useLocation()
    const partname = location.state?.partname

    console.log("partname: " + partname)

But partname is always null even though I am passing in partname = "test".
I am pretty new to React and it seems like this is the standard way to pass in arguments to functions components. Thanks in advance! \
Using:
"react-router-dom": "^6.0.1",

A: Hmm it seems like this works for v6:
                    <Link to={row.route} state={{partname: "test"}}><Button variant="contained">Choose {row.name}</Button></Link>

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 10b, also known as TNFRSF10B, is a human gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily, and contains an intracelluar death domain. This receptor can be activated by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TNFSF10/TRAIL/APO-2L), and transduces apoptosis signal. Mice have a homologous gene, tnfrsf10b, that has been essential in the elucidation of the function of this gene in humans. Studies with FADD-deficient mice suggested that FADD, a death domain containing adaptor protein, is required for the apoptosis mediated by this protein.[1]

Makena and Carpenter, Fall 2014 Graduates
The 'tween years sure aren't easy for anyone. For Makena, it was a time of emotional upheaval laced with anxiety, behavioral issues, and stress. However, at age 14, after many years of living with various physical and cognitive disabilities, Makena's life was to "change for the good" when she was partnered with Carpenter, a home companion dog from Canine Partners for Life.
Now nearly 18, Makena recalls those early days with Carpenter. "I really wasn't in a good place," she explains. "It was the summer before 8th grade, and I was facing a transition to a new school. I think I cried most days. Carpenter…he got it. If I cried, he whimpered. It was like he understood what I was going through. He stayed close and comforted me."
Trish, Makena's mother, heard about CPL from a friend who had a child with autism. After she checked it out online, she spoke to CPL staff, applied for a companion dog for Makena, and brought her family to CPL for an interview.
"When we arrived at CPL, we saw young puppies and fell in love! CPL staff explained that there was about a two-year wait for a home companion dog. That's a long time! Two years later, CPL phoned and said they had the right dog for Makena."
Makena laughs at the memory. "My parents told me we were going shopping. But then we pulled onto CPL's campus, and my family said: 'They have a dog for you!' It was amazing! We loved him immediately. Even my dad, who was probably the least enthusiastic, was sold. He'd been a union carpenter for 20 years, and when he found out the dog was named Carpenter, that was it! We took him home."
Makena says having Carpenter has changed her socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. Before him, she rarely went outside, fearful of the neighbor children's teasing. But, when she started to walk Carpenter, the kids would come up to her, and they could talk about her dog. They were excited to meet him, and by extension, that made Makena feel more accepted.
Now in her senior year of high school, Makena is living the life of a busy teenager. She tutors two young boys, has a part-time job on weekends, and she's starting to make plans for college. "Some of my friends are thinking about going far away," she says, "but not me. I want to be near enough to home so I can visit Carpenter on weekends."
Being close to CPL is also important. Trish is quick to compliment the ongoing support Makena receives from staff members. "CPL is family," she says. "We are so grateful to them for Carpenter. He's given so much back to all of us. That two-year wait was worth it. We love our boy."

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, "Aquaman," starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king. The film also stars Amber Heard ("Justice League," "Magic Mike XXL") as Mera; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe ("Platoon," "Spider-Man 2") as Vulko; Temuera Morrison ("Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones," "Green Lantern") as Tom Curry; Dolph Lundgren ("The Expendables" films) as Nereus; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (upcoming "Baywatch," Netflix's "The Get Down") as Black Manta; with Patrick Wilson ("The Conjuring" films, "Watchmen") as Orm/Ocean Master; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman ("The Hours," "Lion") as Atlanna. The film is being produced by Peter Safran, with Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Rob Cowan, Jon Berg and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers. An icon for over 75 years, Aquaman is known by fans of DC Comics as the ruler of Atlantis but committed to protecting the entire globe, both land and sea. Currently set for a 2018 release, the film is based on characters from DC.
