The hydroxyl radical (OH) is one of the most interesting molecules in molecular dynamics. In particular, inelastic collisions of free radicals such as OH are profoundly important in environments ranging from combustion to astrochemistry. However, measuring the velocities of OH molecules in specific internal quantum states has proven to be very difficult. A method that can provide this important information is velocity-map imaging. Although this technique is very widely applicable in principle, it does require a sensitive and selective laser-ionization scheme. Here we show that, under the right conditions, velocity-map imaging can be applied to the study of the inelastic scattering of OH using crossed-molecular-beam methods. We measure fully quantum-state-specified product angular distributions for OH collisions with helium and argon. The agreement between exact close-coupling quantum scattering calculations on ab initio potential energy surfaces and experimental data is generally very satisfactory, except for scattering in the most forward directions.

Q: SQL for begin and end of data rows I've got the following table:

and I was wondering if there is an SQL query, which would give me the begin and end Calender week (CW), where the value is greater than 0.
So in the case of the table above, a result like below:

Thanks in advance!

A: You can assign a group by counting the number of zeros and then aggregating:
select article_nr, min(year), max(year)
from (select t.*,
             sum(case when amount = 0 then 1 else 0 end) over (partition by article_nr order by year) as grp
      from t
     ) t
where amount > 0
group by article_nr, grp;

A: select Atricle_Nr, min(Year&CW) as 'Begin(Year&CW)',max(Year&CW) as 'End(Year&CW)'
from table where Amount>0 group by Atricle_Nr;

Xeno means foreign. So xenoestrogens are foreign estrogens. We are exposed to them in our environment - via the WATER we drink, the FOOD we eat, the AIR we breath, & what we put on our SKIN.
Why should we care about Xenoestrogens?
There are many ways to avoid exposure of xenoestrogens. Look to the infographic below for helpful options. If you are concerned about your current exposure, love your liver. Your liver is your main filter in your body. What you breath, eat, inhale, or apply to your skin all gets filtered through your liver.
Bitter foods will be helpful to your liver/gallbladder filter. FLAX seeds contain lignans, which are specific for binding excess estrogens. 2 TBSP/d is generally a good dose for most people. Make sure you're drinking an appropriate amount of water.
The hormonal cascade is a delicate & very intricate system in women. This hormonal cascade can be addressed beautifully via naturopathic medicine. Know you have so many options available to you to detoxify from excess xenoestrogens.

David Dorn's murder draws ZERO coverage from CNN, MSNBC
Not a peep.
If you still need proof that mainstream media, particularly the two major leftist cable news channels, are driving a narrative built around an anti-American agenda, one needs only look at the tragic case of David Dorn. The murder of the 77-year-old former St. Louis Metro Police captain at the hands of looters in front of a pawn shop has drawn zero coverage from CNN and MSNBC. nearly 24-hours after his death was livestreamed on several Facebook Live pages.
Fox News covered it. USA Today covered it. Most conservative news outlets have covered it heavily. This is big news. In an era in which Black Lives Matter are dominating airwaves, it's telling that to leftist mainstream media, the life of a black man whose death did not fit their anti-American narrative wasn't worth even mentioning during their 24/7 breathless coverage of these "protests."
Thankfully, patriots are active in making certain Dorn's murder is not allowed to slip by the news cycle. #DavidDorn and similar hashtags were trending on Twitter as those who oppose these Antifa-driven riots are enraged by this heinous act of greed and depravity. Meanwhile, One America News reporter Jack Posobiec started a Fundly that raised over $50,000 for Dorn's family in less than one hour. As of the time of this article, it is approaching $100,000.
The media gave wall-to-wall coverage of smoke bombs for 24 hours
But Captain David Dorn was murdered in cold blood
And they have barely said a wordhttps://t.co/uYHShTo5rU

Searches of CNN's and MSNBC's websites yielded no results for "David Dorn." Since his murder early Tuesday morning, his name has not been mentioned on any of the news channels' broadcasts. But patriots on social media are speaking out and offering heartfelt support for his family while expressing their outrage over the way his story is being mishandled by mainstream media.

Hey #HidenBiden… any comment on the death of black St. Louis police captain #DavidDorn?
I thought #BlackLivesMatter?
Or are you back to deciding who is black again, and he doesn't qualify by your standards?

This is #DavidDorn. He was shot and killed last night as people were looting a pawn shop. This story must be shared. https://t.co/w5hvXNrn7G pic.twitter.com/pY842ygUNg

If a black man dies, but it doesn't fit the narrative, do people care?
This is the question that #DavidDorn's death should make a lot of people ask and it should wake a lot of people up.
They don't care about your lives. They want your clicks, dollars, RTs, and shares.
— Malcolm FleX (@Malcolm_fleX48) June 3, 2020
"The man just was shot and killed outside of Lee's Pawn and Jewelry," former St. Louis Police Officer Marquaello Futrell wrote in a Facebook post. "It's one thing to be a victim of a robbery/assault but to lie in [your] own blood pleading for help and no help comes other than people standing around on FB Live recording his death. All over social media. I'm upset and can't sleep!"
Those who love this nation will not allow David Dorn's memory and sacrifice to be ignored by mainstream media. Just because it doesn't fit CNN's or MSNBC's false narrative about these riots doesn't mean they get to pretend his death is meaningless.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being "that guy" who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn't continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump's willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn't realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren't struggling just a few years ago. I'm not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we've been able to build because there's really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won't see Google ads here. With that said, it's often challenging to pay the bills and it's even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We've had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
NOQ Report
Conservative Playlist
Based Underground
Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I've turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I'll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid "taboo" topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I'd talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you're interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.

After two years of shooting and 4 months spent editing and sequencing, I'm left with the 46 photographs that make up my latest project: After the Fact.
After the Fact combines portraits, tableaux and landscapes into an open-ended narrative arc, one that evokes the feelings of anxiety that lurk behind the facade of the everyday. It points to the regression that's in the air, to our increasing uncertainty and fear and to the changing political and physical climates that we find ourselves in these days. As well, through certain repetitions and echos, the work hints at the cyclical nature of time and history.
The people, places and things depicted are all real, in the sense that they existed in front of my lens. But the work isn't about those specific locations or demographics. The photographs in After the Fact aren't really facts at all . . . they're slices of time and space that have been recontextualized in order to point to a possibility. In other words, this project is a work of fiction.
After the Fact was conceived to be a book, a sequence of photographs, taken as a whole, seen in order. After many many iterations of the dummy I've finally arrived at a look and feel that seems right. All that remains is to fine tune the design and take it to the printer. Not to mention, of course, getting it into your hands and out into the public where I hope it will provoke thinking and discussion. You can make that happen by supporting this project. There's lots of rewards to choose from and you can also help by sharing this project on social media and with your family and friends.
These words, by Bertholt Brecht, neatly invoke the thinking and motivation, the meaning and feeling behind After the Fact . . .
The images and edit/sequence that comprise the work have all been completed. The only remaining task is to nail down the final design of After the Fact.
I'm pretty sure the book will be 8.5 x 11 inches, 88 pages and 46 photographs. This may change a bit once the design is decided upon. It will be printed in an edition of 200 on an HP Indigo digital press, which does a beautiful job of rendering the photographs. The cover will be Tango SC2 14 point and the inside pages be printed on Futura Dull 100lb Text . . . very nice paper. The binding will be Smyth sewn, which allows the pages to lay flat, eliminating any weird gutter problems on double page spreads.
It will be printed by St Joseph, here in Ottawa . . . a printer I have used before, so I don't expect any problems or surprises.
So there really are no risks for you. The only challenge (for me) is to raise the funds to make this happen.


Students and grads today are so much more than 9 to 5 workers. They're socially aware, looking for opportunities to make a positive impact on their communities. Employers are taking notice of this trend – and Bell is a great example. Their employees have amazing opportunities to participate in their national campaigns.
As part of her Graduate Leadership Program, Olivia Stille took part in Clara's Big Ride – a highlight event of Bell's Let's Talk campaign for mental health awareness. In the spring of 2014, she joined a team that followed six-time Olympic medalist Clara Hughes across Canada for 110 days, working behind the scenes to ensure the journey went off without a hitch.
Fact: As a distinguished Olympian and spokesperson for Bell's Let's Talk campaign, Clara Hughes embarked on an 11,000 km bicycle journey across Canada to raise awareness for mental health. The trip took her and the Bell team through 105 different communities and 235 events.
Like many fresh graduates, Olivia was looking for a career opportunity that would help her with her professional development. When she applied for the Graduate Leadership Program, she already knew about Bell's Let's Talk program, but she had no way of knowing that she'd be involved with one of the campaign's biggest undertakings.
After completing her first two business rotations, Olivia boarded a bus along with her colleagues and began touring across the country. During her experience, she was responsible for creating their route and dealing with the logistics. With the help of her teammates, she managed relationships with many different stakeholders, from mental health organizations to youth groups in the different cities and towns they stopped in.
Olivia says that mental health has been a fantastic cause to champion, and she is proud that she is part of an organization that is willing to take this issue on and spread the word.
As one might expect, Bell's initiatives have a huge impact on the company's work culture. In order to find success in this company, Olivia says there are several qualities that students and grads need to have in addition to the proper skill-sets.
Mental Health Week events. Bell's Let's Talk supports this annual campaign, and team members are invited to participate in activities such as seminars on active living, stress-buster workshops, webinars, and more!
Volunteer. Employees are encouraged to find an organization that supports mental health in their community and volunteer together to support those causes. It's a great way to show initiative and make a difference with your colleagues!
Community events. Bell provides a running list of one-time awareness or fundraising events that employees can register for.
While Bell's Let's Talk day is an annual event, there are opportunities for employees to support this mental-health awareness initiative all year round. There are a number of different opportunities to pursue, and it's a great way to give back to your community with your colleagues.
The company's focus on mental health has also had a positive impact on their training processes. Bell's managers receive additional mental health training so they can be aware of how to support their teams in a positive and effective manner. In addition, employees receive health coverage for mental health specific services.
Olivia has come a long way since her Graduate Leadership Program days. After her experience on Clara's Big Ride, she completed several more business rotations and eventually landed her current position as a Product Manager on Bell's Mobile Devices team.
It's been a little over 3 years since she began her career here, but her unique experiences have helped shape her as a professional in the business. Even today, she still gets feedback from the communities and organizations she worked with during the event.
Bell is one of the biggest and most prominent businesses in Canada, and it's natural for most students and grads to view them as a corporate giant. But Olivia says that through working with the company, she's enjoyed seeing their lighter and kinder side.

Home News Caulker certain of his Spurs future
Caulker certain of his Spurs future
By Matthew Harris -
We've talked a fair bit about Steven Caulker this week but it's worth looking at the player's most recent comments as to where he feels his future lies. It's been a big week for our centre half, currently on loan at Swansea and he marked his 4th under 21 cap with his first goal for England in the week.
After the game, Swansea's Brendan Rodgers was asked about any plans to sign Caulker on a permanent basis.
"Steven is going to be a top player. He is only 20 years of age but he's been a dominant player for us, brilliant all season," Rodgers said.
"But as for signing him, I think Tottenham have got a big future planned for him there so I don't think they'll be selling him."
Questioned on the issue, the player himself added,
"I've been out on loan and done my bread-and-butter work. Next season I will be looking to break into the Tottenham team.
"I'd love to play in the Champions League next year."
Whether he will make the centre back position his own is up for debate but it's looking increasingly like Steven Caulker will be an important part of Tottenham's first team squad in 2012-13.
Greekos March 2, 2012 at 6:12 pm
Well with the fragile state of most of our defense he'll definitely get a chance to play. And like he says he's done his bread and butter work now its time to see if he can cut it with the big boys!!!
spursguv March 2, 2012 at 8:44 pm
We've had wide spread changes across midfield and upfront and the Back four is well overdue. Dawson doesn't cut it. King sadly isn't coping anymore, Gallas is injured all the time and Kaboul imo still isn't there. So we are missing real quality at the back. It shows most weeks. Our best form of defense is attack. that 442 system must surely be thrown out. Saha is too old. ade is a one in 5 games player and harry doesn't know who to play upfront. I would like to see caulker at spurs but I'd give him another year at Swansea. We need some experience back there and I don't mean another of Harry's Dads army.
swansboy March 3, 2012 at 10:24 am
You guys have the making of a top player here. Really fitted that he has to head home soon but really grateful for the loan!
Its going to be difficult finding a replacement for him, he is quality!
*gutted that he left not fitted!

It ought to tell West Virginia legislators something that officials of the U.S. Social Security Administration view state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's office as a valuable partner in cracking down on fraud.
How valuable? Last year, Morrisey's office was key in spotting enough fraud and waste in the Social Security disability program to save taxpayers about $6.2 million. That brings the total savings achieved by the Cooperative Disability Investigations Unit to more than $14.3 million since the work began in December 2015.
Morrisey is renewing his request that legislators allow his office to tackle Medicaid fraud in West Virginia. Those investigations currently are handled by the state Department of Health and Human Resources, even though most states place the responsibility with their attorneys general.
Investigating Medicaid fraud through his office could save taxpayers millions of dollars a year, Morrisey believes. That also would have the benefit of freeing up more money for truly deserving West Virginians who need health care assistance.
Whatever the reason, it ought to be re-examined. Morrisey's office is getting results for the Social Security program. Giving him a chance to do something similar with West Virginia's costly Medicaid system makes dollars-and-cents sense.

Third Canadian detained in China is a teacher subject to an administrative penalty
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said the woman, identified in Canada as Sarah McIver, received the penalty for 'illegal employment'
Jesse Snyder & Douglas Quan
A source confirms that Sarah is the third detainee in China.	Facebook
The third Canadian detained by Chinese authorities in recent weeks is an Alberta woman who was taken into custody due to visa complications and arrangements were being made for her to return to Canada, multiple sources said Wednesday.
Sarah McIver, described by those who know her as "bubbly" and "approachable," had been teaching at a school in China when she was detained, sources told the Post. The detention left family members in southern Alberta traumatized and scrambling to contact Canadian officials for assistance after a former boyfriend confirmed McIver's location.
A Chinese government spokeswoman said Thursday that McIver's detention differs from two earlier ones that authorities allege involve security matters.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said a woman received an administrative penalty for illegal employment.
McIver's safe return would defuse what would have put additional strain on an already tense relationship between Canada and China, which was shaken by Canada's arrest of a Chinese tech executive Dec. 1. One person said McIver was expected to be returned before the New Year. However, officials at Global Affairs Canada did not confirm a timeline, and the situation could remain unresolved.
Canada arrested Huawei Technologies' Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of the firm and daughter of the company's founder, for extradition at the request of the U.S.
The arrest set off a string of heated verbal rebuttals from Chinese government officials, who likened it to "basically 'kidnapping.'" In the following weeks, two Canadian citizens — Calgary-born entrepreneur Michael Spavor and former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig — were detained by Chinese authorities, leading to broader questions about whether China would carry out further arrests in retaliation against Canada.
Hua downplayed the connection and said the two men were taken in for endangering China's national security, while the woman was given an administrative penalty.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the cases don't appear to be linked, noting that tens of thousands of Canadians live, travel and work in China. Conservative MP Erin O'Toole also said that the case involved visa irregularities.
McIver had previously gone abroad to pursue teaching in South Korea and Malaysia. She spent this past summer back in Alberta working at a Red Deer furniture store where she had previously worked for a couple years, before packing up again — this time for China, according to a store manager.
That's what's very disconcerting about this ... Canadians should know if suddenly visas are going to be pulled and reviewed and reconsidered
However, when McIver arrived at her destination, school officials informed her that her position had been given to someone else. So they made arrangements to transfer McIver to a different school in another city.
McIver had been teaching at that other school for a few months — periodically sending pictures of her young students to friends back home — when authorities detained her, apparently because she lacked the proper work visa.
Sources said she was being treated well and could be flown back to Canada in the coming weeks.
Family members of a Sarah McIver based in Calgary and Drumheller, Alta. either declined to respond or did not respond to requests for comment on Wednesday. Global Affairs Canada did not confirm to the National Post whether McIver was the detained person, citing privacy concerns.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced a slew of questions from reporters on Wednesday as a result of the detainment, where he suggested the case appeared not to be connected to the Huawei arrest.
"The first indications are that this is a very separate case to the two others that occurred earlier in the [month]," he said.
Trudeau said that such discussions between countries are inherently fragile and need to be approached in a tempered way.
"When I was in opposition, as a leader of the opposition, I remember standing in the House and challenging Mr. Harper to pick up the phone and get this Canadian released," Trudeau said. "I now understand that it's always a lot more complicated than that."
Stephen LeDrew: Canada has let itself be builled by China and U.S.
Who is Michael Spavor, the second Canadian to go missing in China?
"Sometimes politicizing or amplifying the level of public discourse on this may be satisfying in the short term, but would not contribute to the outcome we all want," he said.
O'Toole told the Canadian Press Wednesday that the situation still raises deeper questions about the safety of Canadians amid the ongoing Canada-China dispute.
"There's hundreds of Canadians in one way or another working (in China) and is this something that they should worry about — existing visas?" O'Toole said. "That's what's very disconcerting about this … Canadians should know if suddenly visas are going to be pulled and reviewed and reconsidered."
The heated relations come amid U.S. President Donald Trump's massive trade war with China, in which he has threatened to place tariffs on hundreds of billions worth of goods imported from the world's second-largest economy.
Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, defended Ottawa's arrest earlier this month, saying there was "absolutely" no "political conspiracy" behind the move.
Huawei is one of the world's largest developers of hardware and software technologies, including cutting-edge mobile data networks. The Trudeau government has been under some pressure to bar the company from developing its 5G network in Canada, due to security risks cited by some experts.

Experiential by no means carries a blueprint. Activations are dramatically different based on industry, goals, and resources. Top brands are sharing how they are crushing it with certain tactics.
Like all things experiential, pop-up shops provide brands with leeway for concept and creativity, while delivering immense potential related to brand awareness and growth.
Of the many benefits of experiential retail, one that smart ecommerce brands are seizing is the ability to collect critical offline consumer data.
There is no doubt that we live in a digital world. That is why it is often many brands' first instinct is to use digital marketing when promoting the business. Everyone uses technology on a daily basis. So, it is reasoned that digital has the biggest reach and highest number of impressions. But this logic is flawed, as impressions do not always equal quality interactions and are not inherently beneficial for brands. Due to the high-impact of each consumer touchpoint that experiential can offer, many brands are going down the brand activation path.
By executing experiential marketing campaigns, brands create a unique, face-to-face experience with target customers. And many brands have seen incredible results. In a recent article, Forbes shared the most successful in-person marketing tactics of nine entrepreneurs. From live streaming to local guerrilla campaigns, many of the tactics listed here can be budget-friendly while still creative, engaging, and result-driven.
Experiential retail is changing the brick and mortar paradigm wherein brands simply open their doors and wait for the purchases to manifest. Ecommerce has provided unprecedented product accessibility in both competitive pricing and convenience. Now brands need to give consumers a compelling reason to get off of Amazon and into the stores. And the data is showing that a personal brand experience can be the answer. But the data also show that the sense of community that accompanies the brand in an experiential retail approach may also be a factor.
Pop-up shops are not a one-size fits all concept. They see many different iterations, not just a standard, Instagram-able brick-and-mortar storefront. Recently, some headline-making experiential pop-ups, like the Color Factory or Museum of Ice cream, have shown that pop-ups, while still revenue-generating, can place the experience ahead of the brand (or sponsoring brands). This article by Mc-2 provides readers with a simple breakdown of pop-up shops and how brands can use them to grow their customer base. Check it out here.
The article uses retail giants Nike and REI as prime examples of how this immersive retail approach can pull in positive results. Nike has built its brand on experiences, and in turn designed the new Nike Los Angeles store to combine digital with the physical. The store, which encourages customers to use an integrated mobile app, helps the brand collect consumer insights while providing an added interaction with consumers. Read more to learn more and see why REI has also become a key player in the experiential retail game.
It was just 12 years ago that CRM software company, Salesforce, launched their signature conference and tradeshow, Dreamforce. In that first year, 1000 peopleattended the San Francisco event to get a preview of the updates that Salesforce was rolling out for the new year. Fast-forward to the present, and the current version of the tradeshow boasts 170,000 attendees and has hosted elite speakers, such as former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Dreamforce's size and scope has allowed the event to grow into a unique experience for attendees. Spreading out over San Francisco, Salesforce has incorporated the entire city into the Dreamforce experience. Despite concerns of too much congestion, producers were able to successfully pull off one of the country's largest tradeshows.
Nostalgia marketing is a smart marketing tool, as it has proven to be incredibly effective. According to a study in the Journal of Consumer Research, "we're more likely to spend money when we're feeling nostalgic." Looking back to a "happier time" has real effects on people, and brands are looking for several innovative ways to take them there. Whether it's creating an environment that mirrors that of the 90s or evoking a memory through a favorite childhood game, the goal is the same.
In a recent blog post, Sparks agency shared some of their favorite nostalgia-based brand activations. The events had a common unifying factor: each brand not only picked a particular era but zeroed in on a moment or object that consumers could connect their memories to. Check out the events here.
Incorporating an immersive art experience into an experiential event can help brands keep attendees immersed and engaged. Art experiences are also effective in promoting the creation of user-generated content. This gives marketers valuable Instagram opportunities that consumers are looking for and brands benefit from.
Inspiration for an original art experience does not have to be rooted in a traditional, tactile art form. In fact, the art world has expanded due to advances in technology. Event Marketer recently shared a selection of their top technology-driven art experiences. The feature included a coloring book-like art wall by Perrier that printed the consumers' artwork onto a tote-bag that they could take home. Read more about the experiences included in the compilation.
For children of the 80s and 90s, the mall was a haven. It was a place to shop, meet friends, and feel independent, far away from the watchful eyes of parents at home. Before eCommerce, shopping was an activity that not only teenagers, but people of all persuasions, enjoyed. And, just because the hassle of "running around" gave way to the convenience of online purchasing, it didn't eliminate the positive feelings associated with being out and about. People still want fun, physical, community-oriented activities, it's just going to take more than racks and shelves to get them in.
Brick-and-mortar is not over, but it's changed. And for those forward-thinkers who are reimagining retail, the rebirth of in-store shopping can be largely-attributed to the experience that consumers find in a store or brand space. Many of these innovative retailers, even those that live online, see this new in-store experience to be as much of a marketing tool as it is a sales opportunity. As this AdWeek article points out, many of them are using experiential retail to collect offline consumer data, providing critical insights that can't be procured online.

'I had a family, a career, a house in the suburbs. And then I had a slave.'
Joanna Robin
Before he died in March, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Alex Tizon filed one final story to The Atlantic.
It was his first-hand account of the life of a woman who lived with his family for more than five decades.
Her name was Eudocia Tomas Pulido – "Lola" – and she was their slave.
The long-form piece describes how, from 18 years old until her death 56 years later, Lola was forced to serve Tizon's family, first in the Philippines and then the United States, after she was gifted to his mother by his grandfather.
"To our American neighbors, we were model immigrants, a poster family. … We never talked about Lola." https://t.co/81VXrNNu6h pic.twitter.com/T64Qc6nzfa
— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) May 16, 2017
"No other word but slave encompassed the life she lived," he writes.
"Her days began before everyone else woke and ended after we went to bed… My parents never paid her, and they scolded her constantly. She wasn't kept in leg irons, but she might as well have been."
It wasn't until he was 11 that Tizon began to understand Lola's status within his family, witnessing her daily abuse at the hands of his parents and later his stepfather:
"So many nights, on my way to the bathroom, I'd spot her sleeping in a corner, slumped against a mound of laundry, her fingers clutching a garment she was in the middle of folding."
As he grew older he says it took a kind of "mental surgery" to stop him hating his own mother for her despicable treatment of the woman she relied on in every sense and who, in many ways, was a second parent to him and his siblings.
When Tizon's mother eventually died of leukemia in 1999, Lola moved to Seattle to live him.
She was 75 and had never be allowed to return to the Philippines, despite desperately wanting to.
"I had a family, a career, a house in the suburbs—the American dream. And then I had a slave," he said.
The story behind our June cover story, 'My Family's Slave' https://t.co/406NFw2HrX pic.twitter.com/HUVr8rYCJb
"We gave Lola a bedroom and license to do whatever she wanted: sleep in, watch soaps, do nothing all day. She could relax—and be free—for the first time in her life. I should have known it wouldn't be that simple."
Tizon died the day the editors at The Atlantic decided 'My Family's Slave' would the cover story for their June edition.
LISTEN: Is it ever OK not to forgive? (Post continues…)
It is already being lauded as a "must-read" piece of journalism and has sparked widespread discussions about the pervasiveness of hidden slavery practiced by Westerners.
In a long Editor's Note about the story, Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg explained that Tizon firmly believed everyone has one "ultimate story" inside them, and this was his.

Coetzee Commits to SAIT
Whitecourt, AB – The Whitecourt Wolverines are pleased to announce that 1997-born forward Estian Coetzee has committed to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Trojans (ACAC).
The Fort McMurray, Alberta product just completed his second and final season with the Wolverines after being acquired last year from the Camrose Kodiaks. In his time with the Wolverines, Coetzee has played in 65 games scoring 12 goals and 26 assists while playing an additional 24 games in the post-season where he collected 5 goals and 6 assists. During his three years in the AJHL, he suited up for the Wolverines, Camrose Kodiaks and Olds Grizzlys playing in a total of 144 games where he registered 37 goals and 51 assists.
"When I look back on my time in Whitecourt I'm going to remember a lot of great things, " said Coetzee. "I made a lot of lifelong friends with the guys on the team and in the community, and feel like we really accomplished a lot as a hockey team in my two years there."
Coetzee had his final season cut short during the second round of the playoffs after he sustained a severe injury to his leg that required multiple emergency procedures but says that he well on his way to recovery.
"The recovery process has been really good and moving along quickly, I will be back skating very soon and ready for hockey in the fall."
Prior to playing junior hockey, Coetzee played in both the Fort McMurray and Fort Saskatchewan Minor Hockey programs. In his final season in Fort McMurray, while playing for the Bantam AA Barons, he scored 11 goals and 9 assists in 32 games. In his lone season of Midget AAA hockey, he picked up 8 goals and 11 assists in 32 games with the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers.
The Trojans are now lead behind the bench by new head coach Brent Devost. Devost has an extensive hockey resume as he has coached at several levels while also being the one who founded the Edge Hockey School located just west of Calgary. The Trojans are a perennial powerhouse in the ACAC having won the championship 12 times.
"SAIT just had so many great things to offer in terms of educational opportunities and not to mention a very successful on-ice program with the Trojans," Coetzee added on his decision to choose SAIT.
Coetzee will join fellow Wolverine alumni Eric Krienke and Connor McCallum in the Trojans lineup next season.
The entire Whitecourt Wolverines organization would like to congratulate Estian and his family on his selection of the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology for his college experience and wish him all the best in his academics and athletics.
Estian is the fourth player on this year's roster to earn a college commitment:
Liam Motley – Cornell University
Tyr Thompson – University of Alabama-Huntsville
Jaedon Leslie – Ohio State University
Estian Coetzee – Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

La tapsigargina es un inhibidor no competitivo de la Ca2+ ATPasa del retículo sarcoendoplásmico (SERCA).  Estructuralmente, la tapsigargina se clasifica como una lactona sesquiterpénica, y se extrae de una planta, Thapsia garganica.  Es un promotor de tumores en células de mamíferos.

La tapsigargina aumenta la concentración de calcio intracelular en el citosol bloqueando la capacidad de la célula de bombear calcio hacia el interior de los retículos sarcoplásmico y endoplásmico. El vaciamiento de los almacenes puede activar secundariamente canales de calcio de la membrana plasmática, permitiendo un influjo de calcio en el citosol.

La tapsigargina inhibe específicamente la fusión de autofagosomas con lisosomas: el último paso del proceso autofágico. La inhibición del proceso autofágico en su lugar induce estrés del retículo endoplásmico el cual finalmente lleva a la muerte celular.

La tapsigargina es útil en experimentación examinando el impacto de incrementar la concentración de calcio citosólico.

Undertrial Found Dead in Police Stn
BHIMAVARAM:In a controversial case, a 30-year-old man, N Durga Rao, who was in police custody, allegedly committed suicide at the Two Town Police Station here on Saturday.

I have mentioned my "uniform' in the past. It consists of a blue OCBD, British khaki chinos, penny loafers, and one other item. Now I will admit that I have a strong preference for blue OCBDs, but I don't think that it is any stronger than my preference for this item. The other item is a surcingle belt. Not just any surcingle belt, but an olive green belt.
I remember picking out this olive green belt thinking how versatile it would be. It did not dissapoint. I wear this belt with my everyday uniform, my blue blazer and ties, and tweeds as well. It works so well that I wear it 99% of the time. I often have to force myself to wear another belt. Even other solid surcingle belts.
I recently had to replace this belt. It was starting to look rough. I re-purchased the same belt. An olive green surcingle from Leather Man LTD. I did make one change. This time I went with the feathered edge with brown stitch instead of the standard tab. I am glad that I did. It adds a little more sophistication.
The olive surcingle may not become everyone's "signature," but it is definitely a surcingle color to invest in. I have tried other colors including navy and tan both of which are both solid options, but navy can be challenging with a navy blazer and tan can cause monochromatic concerns. Olive has proven itself again and again. There are lots of places to get an olive surcingle. I went with Leather Man, but also check out Barrons-Hunter, J.Press, or O'Connell's.
As warmer weather draws near our thoughts turn to colorful madras, cool wearing seersucker, and of course the eschewing of socks. Today marks the first day of spring, but the weather has a mind of its own and has decided that we will have to put our warm weather gear away for at least 1 more week. If you have already been sporting your boat shoes without socks you may need to add a pair for the upcoming chilly mornings.
If you are still reading after I suggested that you wear a pair of socks with boat shoes let me explain. I am not suggesting that you add a pair of dress socks or white athletic socks. I am suggesting a rustic pair of socks with texture that will turn your warm weather friend into a cool cold weather shoe.
Ragg wool socks are an Ivy/Trad staple. They have all of the traits that Trads value. They are simple, well crafted items that work well, but unlike many Trad items they are also affordable. Ragg wool socks can be had for around $10-$15 a pair. My go-to brands are L.L. Bean (Bean Ragg Sock) and Wigwam (Wigwam El-Pine), but there are lots of other companies manufacturing ragg wool socks so be sure to look around. I also recommend stopping by your local TJ Maxx/Marshalls as these are great places to find ragg wool socks for cheap.
Soon the weather will be too warm to even consider wearing socks with boat shoes. Yes, that statement means that I am strongly against the wearing of socks with boat shoes outside of what I have described above. Even no-show socks. The sock-less look (and feel!) is not for everyone, but neither are boat shoes. For those of you that want to wear socks with your boat shoes I suggest a pair of Camp Mocs (like the ones on the left). These will not look out of place with socks just don't wear them with socks and shorts!
I have been holding this secret in for a while now. From time to time I have thought about writing about it, but feared that it was beyond forgiveness. Two things made me change my mind. First, commenter Hollywood Argyle asked me how I make a four-in-hand knot work being 5'8″. The second was a comment made by Paul Winston of Winston Tailors and Chipp Neckwear fame.
Hollywood Argyle is correct in that when I tie a four-in-hand knot at the correct length (example of the correct length above) that it will often result in the tail hanging far beyond the blade. My shameful secret is that I have addressed this issue on countless occasions by simply taking a pair of scissors, cutting the tail to a length that works, and crudely sewing it back together. I wanted to share this technique as I am sure that others have had the same problem, but I held my tongue.
Last week there was a thread about shortening ties in which Mr. Winston said that he offered to shorten his customers ties for free with a blunt cut. As soon as I read that phrase I had a feeling that he was referring to the same technique that I described above. A message from him confirmed this to be true.
There you have it. The blunt cut is a quick and easy way to shorten a tie. It is also free when done at home (or if you are a lucky enough to be a customer of Paul Winston's!). You can also re-cut the end to a point as Mr. Winston noted. It feels good to get this one off my chest.
I couldn't do a post on ties with help from Paul Winston without highlighting his wonderful selection of ties that won't break the bank (everything's under $60) over at Chipp Neckwear. He makes a great product at fantastic price point. They are also my preferred width of 3.25″. I have been thinking about this Teal & French Blue Shantung tie one for the summer.
This summer is looking to be all about moccasins. I added a pair of LL Bean Signature camp mocs to my line up a last month, but it didn't stop there. This time I turned to something even more casual.
What could be more casual than a pair of camp mocs you might ask. The answer is, probably nothing. What I meant to say is that I was looking for additional pair of camp mocs that are closer to traditional moccasins than shoes. My requirements were simple. I want a moccasin that is unstructured, flexible, and has a sole that allows for outdoor wear.
After some quick research I got my list of options together. I could purchase from Quoddy, Arrow, Russell, or Minnetonka. The prices ranged from $50-$300. I was leaning closer to the $50 side. The soles also ranged from a boat shoe style to double leather bottoms. I stayed away from boat style soles, because I wan't looking for another shoe, but at the same time I was concerned that leather soled mocs wouldn't last long with all of the abuse I was planning on giving them.
In the end I landed on a pair of classic drivers from Minnetonka (see here). This moccasin fit the bill perfectly. First and foremost, it had a great moccasin shape. Exactly what I was imagining. It also had a nub bottom s0le that will allow for me to wear them outdoors. I know that this will shorten their life span drastically, but I went into this purchase knowing that I was looking for a disposable shoe . The $58.95 price tag makes it manageable. If these mocs become the love of my life I may look into a more expensive version in the future. Until then these should do the trick.

Testing the replication processing
==================================

The DataONE Test Utilities for Python includes the Replication Tester (RepTest), a Python app that performs basic testing of the replication functionality of a Tier 4 MN. This describes how to set GMN up for testing with RepTest.

RepTest takes on the roles of the CN and another MN. So, for the test to be successful, GMN must be set up to accept RepTest both as a CN and another MN during the transfer of the object being replicated. GMN must also be set up to call back to RepTest during replication instead of to the root CN.

Without certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The simplest way to test the replication functionality is to turn off access control for objects and the replication API methods in GMN. Of course, this means that the access control is not tested.

<TODO: Describe how to set this up>

Changing root CN
----------------

RepTest needs to be set up as the root CN for the GMN instance being tested. This is done by modifying ``DATAONE_ROOT`` in ``settings.py`` to point to RepTest. E.g., if RepTest is running on the same machine as GMN::

  DATAONE_ROOT = 'http://localhost:8181'

The port and network interface on which RepTest listens is configurable.

Background
``````````

The first time that GMN handles a request after startup, it will call
``CNCore.listNodes()`` on the root CN in the environment in which it is set up to find information about the other nodes in the environment. GMN will perform this call at even intervals to refresh its cache of the information.

When RepTest is set to be the root CN, RepTest receives this initial call. RepTest responds with a customized list of nodes holding only a CN and a MN. These nodes both point back to RepTest, thus setting the GMN instance up to accept calls from RepTest as if they originate from a CN. In addition, the replication related calls that GMN makes to the CN and MN replication counterpart become directed to RepTest, which uses them for orchestrating the replication process and checking that the MN is performing the replication correctly.

If GMN is not set up to use RepTest as a root CN, RepTest will abort testing with a authentication related exception. For instance, if RepTest calls
``MNRead.getReplica()``, the exception may look like the following:

::

  d1_common.types.exceptions.NotAuthorized: name: NotAuthorized
  errorCode: 401
  detailCode: 0
  description:
    A CN has not authorized the target MN, "public" to create a replica of "anterior1.jpg".
    Exception received from the CN:
    name: NotAuthorized
    errorCode: 401
    detailCode: 4871
    description: There is no Member Node registered with a node subject matching public
  nodeId: urn:node:mnDevGMN

This somewhat confusing error message is a NotAuthorized exception from GMN with a description field that contains the exception that was received from the CN which, in this case, is also a NotAuthorized exception.

The exception is raised because GMN called a real CN to get authorization for a call to ``MNRead.getReplica()``. Since the replication was initiated by RepTest and not the real CN, the real CN rejects the request.

Almond Pest Management Alliance Team wins IPM award
The UC IPM Almond Pest Management Alliance Team. From left, DPR Director Val Dolcini, Brad Higbee, Chuck Burkes, Jhalendra Rijal, David Haviland, UCCE staff research assistant Stephanie Rill, and the Almond Board's Jesse Rosemond, Bob Curtis, Rebecca Bailey and Jenny Nicolau.
The UC IPM Almond Pest Management Alliance Team received an award from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and California Environmental Protection Agency for their vigorous promotion of IPM and acting as a hub for growers, pest control advisers, researchers and others to organize their collective efforts and rapidly respond to arising pest issues.
The Almond Pest Management Alliance Team serves as a role model for the implementation of integrated pest management practices in California. The team consists of UC IPM advisors David Haviland, Jhalendra Rijal and Emily Symmes, industry researcher Bradly Higbee of Trécé, USDA scientist Charles Burkes and Bob Curtis of the Almond Board of California.
The team encouraged the adoption of mating disruption for managing navel orangeworm, a major pest in almond orchards, especially in the San Joaquin Valley. After they began demonstrating that mating disruption proved to be an economical pest control method in orchards, they saw a rapid rise in growers adopting the technology. Kern County showed a 26% countywide increase in the adoption of mating disruption from 2017-2018.
For more than a decade, the team conducted research on navel orangeworm, spider mites, leaffooted bug and ants that laid the groundwork for IPM adoption. For the past three years, the team put these IPM practices on display using eight demonstration orchards across the San Joaquin Valley as part of a CDPR Pest Management Alliance Grant.
PCAs and growers who participated in UC Almond Pest Management Alliance activities were surveyed – an average of 93.8% of participants stated that information that they received was considered when making pest management decisions.
The Almond Pest Management Alliance Team also received a California State Assembly Certificate of Recognition sponsored by Assemblyman Rudy Salas.
A three-minute video about the Almond Pest Management Alliance Team can be downloaded at https://ucdavis.box.com/s/7bo2ckkxi7kfvqevc346js6m6g3gvtg5.

Quinn-Davidson and Stackhouse win CSAC Challenge Award
Lenya Quinn-Davidson and Jeffery Stackhouse
The California State Association of Counties honored UCCE Humboldt County advisors Lenya Quinn-Davidson and Jeffery Stackhouse and the Humboldt County Prescribed Burn Association with one of its 18 Challenge Awards to recognize county innovation and best practices. As part of the award, CSAC wrote a story at https://www.counties.org/county-voice/first-west-humboldt-countys-prescribed-burn-association-teaches-value-fire and produced a video about their efforts. The video is posted at https://youtu.be/EhkCFRVZ2NE.
In 2017, Quinn-Davidson and Stackhouse developed the Prescribed Burn Association, which has steadily grown. The association is composed of landowners, nonprofits, volunteer firefighters and other community members who work together to carry out prescribed burns on private land. Until the association was created, most landowners and community members lacked access to prescribed burn information and training.
In 2017, Quinn-Davidson and Stackhouse developed the Prescribed Burn Association, which has steadily grown. The association is composed of landowners, nonprofits, volunteer firefighters and other community members who work together to carry out prescribed burns on private land. Until the association was created, most landowners and community members had lacked access to prescribed burn information and training.
The concept of a prescribed burn association is catching on. Quinn-Davidson and Stackhouse have presented the Humboldt County model to numerous counties around the state.
Beyond the benefit of prescribed burns for land management, Quinn-Davidson and Stackhouse say the association brings together groups that have traditionally been at odds – ranchers, people who work in timber, environmentalists and cannabis growers.
"Instead of being on opposite sides of an issue, people are gaining understanding for the other side," Stackhouse told CSAC. "It has opened the door for real, honest communication between different groups that otherwise would not be happening. Having people work together who have been on different sides of the community really is amazing."
Meyer receives Water Quality Stewardship Award
Deanne Meyer
The North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board presented its Water Quality Stewardship Award to Deanne Meyer, a UCCE specialist in the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis, on Feb. 6.
Meyer studies livestock waste management, lectures in the Department of Animal Science and advises agricultural and environmental majors. She is also the environmental stewardship module coordinator for the California Dairy Quality Assurance Program (CDQAP), part of the California Dairy Research Foundation.
Meyer has provided technical advice and comments in developing the North Coast Regional Water Board's dairy program. She provides technical expertise at CDQAP workshops to help dairy operators comply with the requirements of the Regional Water Board's dairy permit. Meyer also served on the Technical Advisory Committee for the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Alternative Manure Management Program. Meyer is currently working with Regional Water Board staff on a contract to test manure and soil on 30 North Coast pasture-based dairies to assist dairy operators in developing a nutrient budget for Nutrient Management Plans.
The Executive Officer's Water Quality Stewardship Award is an annual award given to an individual or group whose exceptional work contributes to the preservation and enhancement of surface water and groundwater quality in the North Coast Region.
4-H Camping Advisory Committee receives national research award
From left, Jennifer Henkens, 4-H program representative; Marianne Bird and Connie Coutellier, director of Camp Wyandot.
The American Camp Association recognized the California 4-H Camping Advisory Committee with its 2020 Eleanor P. Eells Excellence in Research in Practice Award. Marianne Bird, 4-H youth development advisor in Sacramento County and chair of the 4-H Camping Advisory Committee, accepted the award on behalf of the team on Feb. 12 At its national conference in San Diego.
The Eells Award recognizes programs that apply innovative, quality research or evaluation findings to improve program practice, and share their findings with others.
Since its inception in 2004, program evaluation and improvement has been a focus of the California 4-H Camping Advisory Committee. However, engaging the 25 or more local, volunteer-run camps in program assessment proved challenging.
To engage camps in data and the program improvement process, the committee embraced the use of "data parties" to share results and encourage dialogue with the camps participating in the current study. A data party gathers stakeholders to analyze or interpret collected data. The committee invited camps to bring a team of three to six people (4-H teen leaders, adult volunteers and professional staff) to explore statewide findings, as well as data from their own camp. Teams then created an action plan for improving their programs.
The event encouraged buy-in and a sense of ownership to the data. Participants reported new insights and greater understanding of the data, and cited changes they had made to their programs as a result. Since initiating the data party format four years ago, participation in the statewide evaluation has grown from nine to 22 camps.
"When those engaged in programming understand and embrace data, then is an evaluation truly useful," said Bird. "These are the people who can make change happen. For California 4-H, the camp data party has been the key to opening dialogue and improving our programs."

John the Baptist was at the Jordan River baptizing people with a baptism of repentance. So, when Jesus shows up to be baptized, John asks Him a very good question: "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" In other words, why would Jesus, the Sinless One, need to be baptized by John? He didn't need to repent, did he? No. Jesus did not say that He needed to repent, because He had never sinned and would never sin. So, why the baptism?
1. Jesus was baptized to fully identify with us. He was baptized for us, just as He did everything else for us. To be in our place as our substitute Savior, He needed to be baptized.
2. Jesus was baptized as a consecration for His earthly ministry as Messiah. Before He began His earthly ministry as the Messiah, Jesus had to be set apart for the work. Baptism with water was one way to consecrate, or set apart, someone for a ministry calling.
In God's anointing of Jesus with the Holy Spirit, we get a wonderful picture of the Trinity: God the Father sends God the Holy Spirit to anoint God the Son. The Father is the Sender, the Son is the Sent, and the Holy Spirit is the Power.

Man City boss Guardiola admits defeat at Liverpool would be title blow
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admits losing at Liverpool on Sunday would be a title blow.
Victory for Jurgen Klopp's team would open a nine-point lead with 12 games played, and in the context of last season's relentless title race, that looks huge.
Asked whether it is all over if they lose, Guardiola said: "I don't know, what happens if we win?
"I think in November it is never over. That is my point - I know what is going to happen if we lose, people will say it's over but there are a lot of games to play and my experience in sport is that you have to fight until the end.
"(Whether) we are going to win the Champions League or not, your favourite question to me, I don't have the answer. I'm sorry.
"I don't know if it will be over – it will be more difficult as one season they've lost one game and this season they are unbeaten.
"So you have to imagine they are not going to lose too many games but the season is long a lot of games and situations that can happen."

The Latest: Report: 124 Hawaii dams 'high hazard potential'
HONOLULU — The Latest on a Honolulu dam that prompted an evacuation warning during heavy rains (all times local):
The American Society of Civil Engineers considers the vast majority of Hawaii's state-regulated dams to be "high hazard potential."
That's according to a 2017 infrastructure report that also notes 98 percent of Hawaii's dams have an emergency action plan. The report says 124 dams are given the hazard classification. That's not an indication of the condition of a dam, but that there would probably be deaths if it failed. Hawaii has 132 state-regulated dams.
Workers on Friday continue to pump water out of a Honolulu dam after heavy rains prompted an evacuation warning.
Officials warned Thursday 10,000 people may need to evacuate if water continued to rise after heavy rains from a tropical storm. Later in the day, they said the century-old reservoir wasn't in immediate danger of collapsing.
The Association of State Dam Safety Officials says dams are aging while downstream populations are increasing. That's especially true in Honolulu, where there's been a lot of development on a small island.
Workers continue to pump water out of a Honolulu dam after heavy rains prompted an evacuation warning.
Honolulu Board of Water Supply spokeswoman Kathleen Elliot-Pahinui said Friday pumping will be ongoing through the weekend and into next week as needed. She says workers always aim to keep water levels low well before any storm hits.
Water levels in Nuuanu Dam No. 1 rose rapidly during the storm.
There was intermittent rain in the area Friday morning. Meteorologists say there will be passing showers in the coming days, but heavy rains aren't likely.
