Jewish Peoplehood and the Biblical Landscape
Education and practice, Peoplehood Papers, Pluralism and diversityBy Clare Goldwater April 17, 2013 3 Comments
Using the language of rock music, Arnoff suggests that in order to help the individual view Jewish communities as compelling enough to join, the Jewish educator must move beyond the personal and facilitate "a community comprised of individuals with rich, meaningful experience." He notes that, "navigating peoplehood requires a multidimensional, pluralistic map to the biblical…
A Post-Modern Jewish Peoplehood for Israel
Concept & Ideology, Israel, Israel-Diaspora, Jewish Identity, Peoplehood PapersBy CJPE March 13, 2012
The author compares different ways that scholars, writers and activists understand the concept of Jewish peoplehood and provides an analytic framing of the concept. Overall, he sees peoplehood as a concept invented by American Jewry and discusses what happens when it is imported into the Israeli context. He believes that peoplehood has the potential to…
Jewish Peoplehood: Why?
Concept & Ideology, Israel, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater April 18, 2010 Leave a comment
The author introduces the concept of peoplehood and Jewish peoplehood in Hebrew and English), both both in general and Jewish frames. He goes on to explain the resurgence of the use of the term and concept. He points to two notions, the first a harmless notion of a bond formed between Jews from different locales,…
Rethinking Global Jewish Collectivity in a Post-Statist World
Concept & Ideology, Israel, Mordechai Kaplan, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater April 18, 2010 Leave a comment
The author frames Mordechai Kaplan's thinking on the Jewish State and Jewish nation (people), using it to argue that it is time to move from priveleging state over nation and political sovereignty over global collectivity. He suggests that we need to modify the current paradigm which puts the Jewish State at the center, and consider…
Pushing Peoplehood: An Agenda that Matters
Israel, Peoplehood Papers, PolicyBy Clare Goldwater April 18, 2010 Leave a comment
Based on the position that intellectual activity around the expression of Jewish peoplehood is aligned with a sense that the bonds of Jewish peoplehood are declining, the authors focus on the implications for Jewish communal settings, especially surrounding tzedaka and community-building – raising money and the level of consciousness around collective Jewish values. Using research…
On the Relationship Between Peoplehood and Zionism
Concept & Ideology, Israel, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater April 18, 2010 1 Comment
The author questions the relationship between peoplehood and Zionism, distinguishing between dimensions of meanings of the term peoplehood, and offering four propositions that civer the different schools of thought regarding the idea/ideology of Zionism. He concludes that the idea of peoplehood is fully congruent with the basic underlying proposition of the Zionist idea. He notes…
Zionism and Peoplehood: Toward a Historical Synthesis
Israel, Israel-Diaspora, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater April 18, 2010 Leave a comment
Religion, nationalism and peoplehood are highlighted as the anchors of Jewish identity. Historically, first religion dominated the three, and then nationalism in the form of Zionism. Changes in classical Zionism in the 21st century have made room for religion and peoplehood to be complimentary rather than contradictory to Jewish nationalism, with a move from state…
When the Jewish People and Israel Conflict
Israel, Jewish Identity, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater April 18, 2010 Leave a comment
The word "Israel" has multiple meanings and associations. The author discusses the intentional ambiguity of three terms associated with Israel – am (people), eretz (land), and le'om (nation) – signifying a rootedness in a particular geographic locale and the aspiration that all Jews are part of the Jewish collective regardless of where they live. She…
Peoplehood's Overlooked Origins as a Critique of Zionism and Nationalism
One of the underlying issues in today's conversations about the meaning of "peoplehood" is situating the term's relationship with historical expressions of Zionism. There is a lot at stake in establishing precisely where the concept falls on the spectrum between nationalism's inclination to place the state at the center of collective cohesion and a more…
"Peoplehood" Revisited
Israel, Mordechai Kaplan, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater April 18, 2010 Leave a comment
The author argues that Mordecai Kaplan's notion of Jewish peoplehood is central to Judaism. However, she sees this notion as needing to be revisited and restructured; a reframing of the idea in order to give it more power and meaning in the 21st Century. For her, the term is not only about belonging or for…
Ahad Ha'Am At Last
The author argues that the new era of Israel-Diaspora relations isn't a rejection of classical Zionism, but rather, it is the acceptance of the classical Zionist model propounded by the "cultural Zionist," Ahad Ha'Am. He argues that Ha'Am's notion is uniquely suited for the today's generation of college-age Jews, the Millennials, who are the focus…
Educating about Israel and Jewish Peoplehood: Murmurings about a Field in Formation
The author argues that Zionist and Israel education are in tension with Jewish Peoplehood education. The former stresses the significance of place, the latter, the virtues of space. One narrows yet focuses options for identification; the other broadens yet dilutes options for belonging. In making sense of the the complexity of Israel and peoplehood education,…

Reflections on Israel, Peoplehood, and a New Jewish World
Israel-Diaspora, Jewish Identity, Measures Of Success, Peoplehood PapersBy CJPE March 15, 2009
At the ninth annual Herzliya Conference in February 2009, the concept of "Jewish peoplehood" emerged as an important concept, and the author discusses some of the proposed definitions of the concept and arguments raised by Jewish scholars and thinkers in previous volumes of the Peoplehood Papers. While many questions about the concept still remain, the…
Israel: The Core Context
Israel, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater October 18, 2008 Leave a comment
The author examines the concept of Jewish peoplehood, focusing on why a renewal of this concept must take place within the boundaries of the State of Israel. She argues that the answer is an inexorable pull many Jews feel toward tribal experiences and arrives at this conclusion through two personal anecdotes about Jews and tribes. [Taken…
Institutionalizing Peoplehood?
Israel, Israel-Diaspora, Peoplehood PapersBy Clare Goldwater October 18, 2008 Leave a comment
The author argues that the Jewish community is facing an evident paradigm shift that stems from a need voiced by younger people through the Jewish world to create a different and more appropriate paradigm that meets the external challenges facing our global society, the existing trends within North American Jewry, and the desire among Israeli…
The State, the People and the Promise
Just as Jewish prayers ask that that the Jewish community be mindful of the people in the State of Israel, the author argues that the Jewish community must continue to be mindful of the challenges and opportunities it faces in trying to strengthen and bind the relationship between the People of Israel and the State…

Peoplehood with Purpose
Peoplehood Papers, PolicyBy Clare Goldwater October 18, 2008 Leave a comment
The author argues that the Jewish community must set higher sights than most of the demographers, sociologists,community planners and philanthropists and become advocates for a new vision of Jewish peoplehood in the 21st century. He looks to the past as he briefly details the history of Jewish peoplehood, how the Jewish community arrived where it…
Capitalizing on Jewish Vision and Venture: The Role of Israel in an Age of Individualism
Despite frequent dismal reports that young people today identify less and less with Israel, the author explains that those who do come and spend time in the country are affected by their stay. Based on this information, the author argues that the State of Israel can continue to play a powerful role because it is…
Israel at the "Center"? An Impossible Dream in a 21st Century Network
The author discusses the question of Israel's centrality within the Jewish people through the lens of recent business management literature on globalization and innovation within globalized organizations and firms. She argues that these concepts reflect new paradigms that characterize the reality of the 21st century, those which do not allow for "centrality," and which she…
Israel and the Jewish Nation
The author examines Israel's essential position as the center for the Jewish people but argues that there needs to be a joint, ongoing and institutionalized forum for North American Diaspora and Israeli Jews that addresses the issues important to both communities. He also discusses the primary issues for leaders of the Jewish people as well…

Hockey Canada withdraws from Spengler Cup due to COVID-19 concerns
CALGARY — Hockey Canada has withdrawn its team from the Spengler Cup.
Canada often competes in the European club-based tournament based in Davos, Switzerland, sending a squad of Canadians selected off European pro teams along with some free agents.
Hockey Canada said in a statement on Monday it was pulling out due to the "ever-changing landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic."
The joint statement from CEO Tom Renney and president Scott Smith says that Hockey Canada believes it is the right decision for the health and safety of players, coaches and staff.
Hockey Canada says it will participate in the event "for years to come."
Canada's Spengler Cup team was intended to be Hockey Canada's backup entry for the 2022 Beijing Olympics in February if the NHL pulls out of the Winter Games.
Claude Julien was named the head coach for Canada's team at the Spengler Cup, as well as the Channel One Cup in Russia, in late November.
Can the Raptors slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo?
The Toronto Raptors are 2-0 vs. the Milwaukee Bucks this season but Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't play in either of those games and Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr. haven't been cleared to return to the lineup yet.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger are brutally honest about the Steelers' chances of advancing past the wild-card round of the playoffs, especially given the Chiefs humiliated them just a few weeks ago in Arrowhead Stadium. First, the Pittsburgh coach: "I don't know how much you learn from it, to be quite honest with you. They smashed us so definitely," Tomlin said of the first meeting. "More than anything, this is like a reboot." Then, the quarterback: "We probably aren
Real Salt Lake signs 14-year-old forward Axel Kei to homegrown contract
HERRIMAN, Utah — Real Salt Lake has signed 14-year-old forward Axel Kei to a homegrown contract, making him the youngest player to ever sign with a Major League Soccer team. At 14 years 15 days, Kei breaks the 18-year-old record set by Freddy Adu by 153 days. Kei joins RSL on a two-year contract. While just 14, Kei stands six foot four and weights 183 pounds. "Over the last year Axel has proven to be one of the top attacking prospects in the country. His propensity in front of goal is well beyon
Nick Nurse praises Raptors' bounce-back mentality vs. Bucks after Pistons loss
"That's as quick a turnaround as I can remember having. But the good news is it was so nice to be playing again after last night, to get a chance to look at something that wasn't last night." Follow our Raptors coverage all season long on Yahoo Sports Canada.
Report: Raptors showing interest in re-acquiring centre Jakob Poeltl
The Raptors are said to be interested in filling a need by bringing back one of the players they traded away for Kawhi Leonard.

I alluded to Thanksgiving earlier this week. Given that most of the US will be stuffing themselves on turkey tomorrow and then doing all we can to stimulate the sluggish economy on Friday, this will be the last post of the week. That's no loss however, as I strongly expect readership to drop since about 60% of it is here in the US.
There has been quite a bit of discussion this week in other blogs (In the Pipeline, The Chemjobber) about the new "Lab of the Future" as designed by Novartis. Obviously there is a strong angle in the discussions towards pharma, but all R & D organizations face the same challenges: how do you get people to work together effectively.
Working at Aspen Research, I've been fortunate to gain access to dozens of different companies, all with different floor plans and building architectures and meeting rooms and... I have not seen that the physical structures matter at all.
As much as I hate starting up buzzword bingo, to me the stronger signs of success are corporate culture. Within about an hour, you can tell which companies are going to succeed and which aren't. And that usually carries over into the project that we are working on. I've had clients where I know that the work I'm doing will just be lost or poorly implemented and others were I knew it was going to be a great success.
That's what's there off the top of my head. Again, no revolutionary ideas here.
Just so that I don't fall into the trap that I just accused others of, note that this is descriptive, not prescriptive. The real question is if a company doesn't have this culture, can it be made to have one? And how can it be done? I have no idea.
Personally, I really don't have much against the 1-part systems, it's just that I've seen other people use them willy-nilly because they don't like mixing, and then they get in trouble. Properly used, a 1-part, be it sealant, adhesive or whatever, can be great.
But one problem that I've seen repeatedly across countless industries  is people thinking that because these are moisture-cured products, as long as they have high humidity in the assembly area, everything will be fine. Seriously, I've heard people say "We're in East Texas where it is more humid than all-get-out. There must be something wrong with the adhesive since it isn't curing. Ship it back!"
The problem with this line of thought is that yes, moisture is needed to aid the cure , but there is that other end of the reaction to worry about called the products, or in this case, the byproducts. The water displaces some other molecule, often acetic acid or ethanol, but no matter what it is, that byproduct has to get out and disappear. And if you are putting the silicone into an enclosure of some sort, or even a partial enclosure, all that acetic acid may not be able to find its way out and that causes problems. If instead it is used in thin layers, everything should be fine.
Trapped inside, it can form hollow pockets or end up at the surface where they cause adhesion problems. And thick sections like this also can take a long time to cure just because of the diffusivity issues.  I've seen all this too many times. Please, next time you reach for a 1-part, make sure that you've thought it all through.
 Medical devices, construction and telecommunication to name a few. Your industry is certainly on the list, I just haven't seen it yet.
 So you see, a 1-part silicone is actually a 2-part silicone; it's just that the other part is present in the atmosphere.
 Remember that with Fickian diffusion, time scales with the thickness squared.
The London Evening Standard has a short story about a new bicycling helmet. It basically worn around the head like a collar, and it inflates (courtesy of stored compress gas) when electronic sensors detect an appropriate situation, probably via some accelerometers. There is embedded video in the article which shows the helmet inflating when a crash-test dummy is rear-ended by a car.
It certainly is an interesting concept, but the whole approach seems to be one of vanity: You don't have to put up with helmet hair anymore! Feel the wind in your hair! No more funny tan lines on your face from helmet straps!
Being rear-ended is not what I would consider the most appropriate demo - hitting a large hole and doing a end-over would be better, or so would sliding out in a corner.
I'm also curious about the material of construction and how it interacts with pavement. When bicycling helmets first became popular [*], they had a hard plastic shell and foam liner. Lighter weight helmets quickly evolved, in part by removing the hard plastic. This was not without issues however, as rumors quickly spread that the foam would stick to the pavement and twist the riders neck in the process, so the hard shells began to reappear. (The hard shells were rumored to bounce you head - is that really any better?) So what happens when this helmet meets the pavement?
For those of us in the US, this is a short work week. Thanksgiving is this Thursday, and Friday is a widespread holiday [*] for most businesses - anything except retail stores. The traditional meal for Thanksgiving is a turkey, and this where we can begin to tie plastics in to the topic.
While I've certainly had turkeys that tasted like plastic, this is a more direct approach. A processed turkey can be difficult to handle. They are heavy, coated in a fairly slippery plastic that might be wet from condensation, and also fairly well rounded with few good areas to grip them. In order to allow for easier handling, they are most often put in plastic netting, something that I look at with a little more intimacy than the average person, as for a very brief period, for you see, I worked very briefly for a company that made plastic netting, some of which was used on turkeys.
There are a wide range of options for making netting, although they all have movable extrusion dies. The netting discussed above, also used for bagging onions and other food items, is made by extruding multiple strands through two coaxial circular dies that are rotating in opposite directions. The strands are oriented at an angle to the machine direction some too, which gives the net the characteristic diamond pattern. Where ever the strands meet, they stick and the netting is formed.
Another option is to use an annular die, similar to what is used to make tubing or blown film. The difference is that the movable part of the die has slots cut into it and this part then moves back and forth against the rest of the die. When the movable part is against the die, the polymer can only flow through the slots, thereby creating the downweb strands. When the movable part retracts, the polymer flows through the entire annulus, creating the crossweb strands. Needless to say, this is quite a noisy operation, what with the die opening and closing with high frequency. This netting can be oriented with a tenter just like biaxial films are.
Yet another option is to just make a circular film and poke holes in it while it is still soft. Seen orange snow fence? Now you know how that is made.
[*] Strangely, the Friday after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday". Normally a descriptor used for some tragic occasion, this is actually considered a good name as so much shopping is done on this day that retailers are finally able to change financially from being in the red for the year to being in the black - or least that is the urban myth. Regardless of the veracity of the name, everyone knows that it is the busiest shopping day of the year.
There are some aspects of blogging and Google searches that I do not understand (and not trying to be disrespectful of the intelligence of my audience who I don't think will understand it either), there are certain search terms that attract people to this blog. The biggest ones: "cox-merz" and "cox-merz rule". Why? I have written about the rule just a little bit, but never would expect it to be such a hit - always somewhere in the top five or so depending on the details of the search.
But then try "rheology blog" and the top result is for the Zimbio blog which hasn't had a contribution in over 4 years. "The Rheol World" is near the top, but I can't find this blog anywhere.
One other thought I had following up on yesterday's post about mixing up the PAm/water concentrate was that I knew I had a good batch when I saw the Weissenberg effect. That's the unusual situation that occurs when stirring a polymer solution and instead of seeing the normal vortex that occurs in the center of the swirling, the surface rises up and starts climbing the stirring rod.
Thank goodness we don't use polymer solutions in toilet tanks.
Over the weekend I remembered an unusual proposal for polymers that seems to have fallen by the wayside and I don't know why.
Polymers of course have a very high viscosity and their solvents have very low viscosities. Yet there are a few circumstances when mixing them results in an even lower viscosity (or least, an "apparent" viscosity). The specific example I am thinking of high molecular weight polyethylene oxide (PEO) in water. At dilute concentrations, the polymer can stifle the formation of turbulent flow, and thereby allow more liquid to be pumped at a given pressure.
The application that was most discussed was to use this system in fire fighting - more fluid for a given would be a good thing, or (semi) equivalently, being able to spray the water further also be helpful.
For reasons that I heard, this application never caught on. Anyone know why?
Polyacrylamide (PAm) of high molecular weight can also pull off this trick. When I was a TA at the University of Illinois for the undergrad ChemE unit ops lab, one of the experiments involved a large water tank that drained through a horizontal pipe at the bottom into a drain trench in the flow . The tank was first filled with water and the vertical distance that the water shot was recorded as a function of the head. The tank was refilled and some PAm was added  and dispersed, and amazingly the water shot out quite a bit further.
 Yes, the polymer went right down the drain. This was not a problem, as PAm is used in water treatment plant to help flocculate and settle particulates - we were simply helping out the water treatment plant.
Jensen's inequality is a simple math relationship that everyone should know. Like most mathematical relationships, it can be written with enough symbols to make it impossible to understand, but the qualitative idea is very simple: if you have a nonlinear relationship between an input and an output, and if you look at the output from those two inputs, the average of the outputs is not equal to what you would find for the output from the average of the inputs. Too wordy, I know. Let me give you an example.
In this case (and in the example above), the nonlinear relationship is concave up, so the "average" output is greater than the output of the average input. Certainly concave down relationships can happen, and the outcome will be the opposite.
Chemical reactions have a non-linear relationship with temperature (i.e., the Arrhenius equation). So if you first run a reaction for a certain amount of time at one temperature, T1, and then change the temperature to T2 and run it for the same amount of time, the extent of the reaction will be greater than if you had run it at the average temperature, (T1 + T2)/2. Why? Given the non-linear nature of the reaction to temperature, the reaction runs quite a bit faster at the higher temperature compared to how much the colder temperature slows it down.
I was directly reminded of the inequality today when I came across a paper that looked at the implications of Jensen's inequality as applied to Ca2+ oscillations in cells. Surprisingly, the cells do much better than when the output is steady, and this was shown to be a direct result of the inequality.
[*] This is what I was getting at a few weeks ago after the power went out and we had to triage the food in the fridge. I tossed all the food with high activation energies since Jensen's inequality greatly disfavored them after temperature abuse.
The blog All Things Metathesis has a nice entry about a large scale metathesis reaction, and how the changing economy has impacted it.
Metathesis can be (over)simply stated as moving double bonds around. The reaction is actually a combination of breaking and reforming the double bonds, but from looking strictly at the inputs and outputs, it looks like the double bonds are moving around. This is obviously important to the polymer industry as the double bonds can be used in polymerization schemes.
What I never knew was that metathesis is an equilibrium process, so that it can be run backwards - an important part of the post. Read the entry and see why.
Everybody is aware of the exploding red dye packs that banks throw into bags of stolen money; upon exploding, the money is permanently dyed and unusable. Now a new alternative solution has been invented, one that uses polymers, specifically polyurethanes. Apparently a quick reacting foam is created which envelopes and encases the money into an unmanageable blob. An interesting idea.
This was first reported in South Africa, which is a good thing. Here in the US, I can certainly imagine the scenario where the criminal gets some of the isocyanate on their skin, have a cardiopulmonary seizure and then they (or their survivors) then sue the bank (and their owners), the foam manufacturer (and their owners and their suppliers and the owners of the suppliers), the city, the state, and the Federal Reserve for 685 million dollars.
Tip of the hat to the Urethane Blog for the heads up.
As promised, here is the first of a set of entries on different aspects of flow-induced crystallization.
The picture below shows the tremendous impact that flow can have on crystallization rates. It's a little confusing, but it will become clear shortly. This plot is for polypropylene, but you will find similar results for HDPE and others. Look first at the left-hand side. This shows the number of crystal nuclei formed (Nc on a log scale) under non-flow conditions and at different temperatures. The cooler the temperature, the more crystals there are - pretty standard stuff. Any higher than 130 oC and the number of crystals is too small to measure (or at least wait around for them to form!). Now look at the right-hand side. This data is all taken at 140 or 150 oC, higher than all the data on the left-hand-side and look at what is going on - the number of crystal nuclei is in the same range as under the quiescent conditions, but the temperatures are 50 degrees or more higher.
Considering that most polymer processes have some form of flow occurring in them, the applications for this can be extremely profound across a wide range of products and processes.
As I mentioned before, things have changed in this area of research in the last 20 years, but data such as this has not. In the next post, I'll start talking about the explanations for why this behavior occurs - what we use to think and what is the current thinking.
The ChemJobber had an entry today about interviewing at a small company. I posted some comments there, but realized that I could have said more.
As CJ notes, small companies do not have complete analytical labs and instead use analytical labs to fill in the gaps. Even analytical labs don't have everything - we certainly don't, but I don't see that as a bad thing. It's great having the equipment on site as you can play with it on your own to solve a question that is nagging you and you don't have to worry about whose paying for it, but at the same time, the fact that you do have the equipment can limit you.
An example might be best. We don't have any NMR equipment. However, when we do need, NMR, we have the whole world to choose from for the testing. Sometimes a simple setup is all we need, sometimes we need cutting edge equipment - it's our choice as to who to work with.
Compare that with any instruments that we have onsite. They are all good instruments, but as a result of a) easy access, b) laziness, c) financial incentives [*] and d) the "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" syndrome, we can often use them when sending a sample out could be better choice.
That said, sending samples out can still be a hassle. Some companies have good turnaround, some don't. Some will give you great analysis, some will tell you "we conclude that the sample was 12% carbon" which you already know from looking at the data tabulated in the report. It takes a while to develop a good network, so I certainly ask colleagues for recommendations before sending anything.
[*] If we use our instrument, we can charge the client for the instrument time and keep all that money. If we use outside equipment, we only pass those charges through. The bill to the client is the same, but the amount we keep is different.
My graduate research was in the title topic. It actually a very interesting topic to study as it is a very unusual phenomenon. In a nut shell, crystallizable polymers (such as PE, PP,...) can crystallize extremely quickly at high temperatures when flowing, temperatures that are so high that the crystallization is non-existent in the absence of the the flow. This happens in both the melt as well as in solutions.
After school, I left the topic alone. My work had been in ultra-dilute solutions, (0.01 wt%) so the practical applications of that specific approach were negligible. However, I just ran across a review paper that just came out back in September (open access until the end of November) and was shocked by how much the field had progressed. Basically, all the rationalizations that we used to have 20 years ago to explain why things were happening as they did have been proven wrong and replaced with better explanations. Wow. From my dissertation, you could basically take the background discussion and many of the calculation results based on that and just put a big X through it.
I'm a little short on time today to discuss this much further, but I will get into it more next week. For polymer melts, the ramifications of flow-induced crystallization can be quite severe, so it is not just an esoteric topic. 'Til then.
It's always nice to see a main stream publication discussing a more technical aspect of polymers, especially for a respected one such as the Economist. Last week they discussed the new results (Biomacromolecules - subscription/pay-per-view required)from the Schiraldi group at Case Western, making a casein based polymer reinforced by nanoclay. The hype here is that it is biodegradable as it is protein based.
The summary in the Economist has a few laughable details - such as describing some of the processing conditions as "freezing it at 80°C below zero" and just to be sure that this was not just a on-time error, they repeat is again later: "It was then cured for 24 hours in an oven at 80°C above zero." (-80°C and 80°C are sufficient). And somehow they are not concerned that it takes 4+ days to make a batch of this new material, obviously ignorant of how short a time period is involved in modern polymerization schemes.
The biodegradablilty of the material is (as expected) only measured in compost conditions, where 20% of the material was degraded in 18 days. The lack of widespread composting conditions was also overlooked by the Economist, which is especially poignant since they call the compost conditions as a "dump-like environment".
You will recall that the Wall Street Journal made an attempt not too long ago to explain the glass transition temperature, an effort that came off a little better than this one.
Again, staying on the scientific sides of politics, it is very common for politicians of a certain persuasion to rant and rave about wasteful research supported by the federal government. Giving chickens Perrier water [*] is my favorite example; you'll have your own.
What never gets mentioned are is what is really happening behind the research, no matter how silly it may seem or even how inane it really is. In every case of research, a student is getting educated and a higher degree - either a master's or a Ph.D. The only way those degrees come about (in the sciences and engineering at least) is from government support of research.
At least when I was in grad school, the payback to the government and society was pretty clear. At my first job, I was paying in taxes what I used to receive as my stipend; I am now a better educated engineer, able to contribute to my employer and our clients in ways far beyond what I could without the advanced degree. The actual work that I produced has had little practical value, but that is beside the point. It was only a vehicle for an advanced education, not an end in itself.
So the next time you hear a politician rail on money going to study the birth defect in earthworms or some other silliness, think of the students behind the work bettering themselves. That is always a success even if the research is a failure.
[*] I remember this one well. Illinois has a very big ag department. One of the researchers discovered that chickens laid poorer quality eggs in the summer because the eggshells had less CaCO3 in them, a result of the chickens expiring CO2 in an effort to stay cool. (Like dogs, chickens don't sweat and cool themselves through increase respiration rates.) So one thought was to increase the CO2intake in the chicken by giving them carbonated water. The local press actually called it "Perrier Water", apparently taking it as a generic term. While this approach did work, it was found to be more cost effective to run cool water through the chicken's perches.
Courtesy of the "In the Hopper" blog, the Society of Plastics Engineers has announced that the 2012 ANTEC show will be in Orlando, but in a big change, it will be at the same time (April 1 - 5) and place as the NPE show.
ANTEC was just held in Orlando last year although it was in early May. I personally found the weather to be pretty uncomfortable, so I am looking forward to an April show instead. Plus I've never been to the NPE, so if I can just get a paper worked up and accepted, it could be a great trip.
Of course, I still have to work on this years paper - something I am taking a break from to write this. Remember, the deadline for abstracts AND the complete paper are November 19th this year - considerably earlier than in the past.
I was running some PLA this last week and just fell in love with the stuff - it's basically as well behaved as acrylates are. The time-temperature superposition is very easy to run with both G' and G" coming together beautifully. I also get a good amount of horizontal shifting too, so that the master curve really takes in a wide range of frequencies. Basically, I look like a genius because the data is so good.
The other extreme that I have to face on a very regular basis is a PVC-wood flour composite made by our parent corporation. It's just a nightmare - got to move fast and can't go too high in temperature before it starts burning and degrading (both the PVC and the wood!). I end up with lots of scatter, a limited output range and data that is only maginally helpful to reach any conclusions.
I hate working with silicones as well because they are so insensitive to temperature that you really have to make large changes before you get anything to change.
So what are your dream and nightmare materials to test?

(TeaParty.org Exclusive) – The COVID-19 global pandemic was no accident. It was a highly orchestrated attack on the people of the world by Communist China's biowarfare arm.
Sure, that might sound crazy but the reality is that no other scenario even remotely makes sense. The outbreak didn't occur naturally, this much can be proven.
The notorious Wuhan lab in China where "gain of function" research was being done (and funded by Dr. Fauci's NIH) on coronaviruses was ground zero for the outbreak.
Now the Gateway Pundit has found direct links between the Chinese military and a major Pentagon-funded virus research lab.
TGP has examined Chinese-language documents and scientific publications that has led them to come to the conclusion that the Military Veterinary Research Institute and the Institute of Zoonotic Diseases in Changchun, Jilin Province, China, which are led by People's Liberation Army General Ningyi Jin and retired General Xianzhu Xia, are principle elements of China's biowarfare program.
TGP goes on to report that several subordinates of Xia and Jin have "been engaged in a massive domestic and international virus collection effort for over eight years." One of these subordinates is Biao He.
Biao He has been working with Changjun Wang of the Third Military Medical University and both have played a major role in the isolation of bat coronaviruses ZC45 and ZXC21.
These very viruses are the ones claimed to be the "viral backbones" for COVID-19 by Chinese whistleblower Dr. Li-Meng Yan.
Furthermore, the Gateway Pundit has been able to establish a connection between the Chinese military's Changchun research centers in Jilin Province and the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, TX.
UTMB is "a major virus research center" and is heavily funded by none other than the National Institutes of Health, especially the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) which is headed by the one and only Dr. Fauci.
It's no coincidence that UTMB is also the home of the Department of Defense-funded Center for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases and is one of the few Biosafety Level 4 facilities designed to contain and conduct research on the world's most dangerous viruses.
UTMB Professor Pei-Yong Shi is the connection between UTMB and the Chinese military's Changchun research centers in Jilin Province. Shi was trained in the People's Republic of China and now works as a professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at UTMB.
What a convenient connection but that's not all. Pei-Yong Shi has also been an Honorary Professor at the Wuhan Institute of Virology since 2007. He alone has received more than $5 million in research funding from Fauci's NIAID.
Another connection between UTMB and the Jilin Province research centers is Hualei Wang. Both he and Shi are listed as co-authors of a scientific article published on Oct. 6, 2020.
Wang tries to hide his Chinese military affiliation, according to TGP but there has been proof of it revealed such as in a 2018 Chinese publication in which Wang is pictured with General Xianzhu Xia (recall he is one of the leaders of the Chinese military's Changchun research centers).
According to TGP, "Hualei Wang was chosen for "Wanren Jihua," a 2012 national program of 10,000 high-level talents, who are at least partially focused on infiltration and accessing intellectual property globally."
The Gateway Pundit says they are currently looking into the connections between UTMB and the Chinese Military.

I'm not sure what my dog , Roscoe (14 month old pit bull), had eaten. Early Monday he started throwing up. Started as food, and ended as yellow fluid. He drank water through the day and held it down. 24 hours had passed since he had last thrown up, and he was still refusing food and now water. I took him to the vet. He seemed in well spirits and we decided fluids under the skin. Just a few hours later he was eating! He ate twice that day (chicken and rice) which was now Wednesday, and ate small amounts of dog food on Thursday at feeding times. Friday he wouldn't eat anything. Today we went back to the vet, and got Xrays. There are dark spots in his intestines but obviously doesn't show what he ate. Both the vet and my husband believed it could be the yellow foam from our ottoman that he had chewed. They gave him more fluid under the skin to help him get hydrated and hopefully pass this. They say we need to decide by Monday to do surgery if he hasn't passed it....what is your thought on this?
He's good! He passed it! Back to his old self!
Yay! Great to hear! Let me know if I can help with anything else.
My dog (pit mix 4 years old) had ACL surgery last Thursday.
My min-pin vomited Wednesday morning shortly after eating.
My Min. Schnauzer was diagnosed with pancreatitus on Thursday.
Hi there, Our dog has not been eating since last wednesday.

Q: Coffee script compilation error This is my coffee, I simply can't see why this is wrong. I keep getting an unexpected , error.
renderTable:()=>
    @table = d3.select("#search-results-area").append("table").attr("id",@tableId).attr("class","visualization-panel")
    @thead = @table.append("thead")
    @tbody = @table.append("tbody")
    @input = @table.append("input").attr("id",@inputId).on("keydown",(d)=>
        console.log("keydown")
        console.log
        toFilter = $(@input[0][0]).val()
        window.setTimeout(()=>
            toFilter = $(@input[0][0]).val()
            @tbody.selectAll("tr")
        ,500)
    )

When I take out the @tbody.selectAll("tr"), this works, which is what's confusing me.
How do I fix this?

A: I believe it has to do with the way you are defining your window.setTimeout section. The ,500) piece at the end is causing the compile error because of indentation and the parenthesis. Try changing that section to:
window.setTimeout ( ->
    toFilter = $(@input[0][0]).val()
    @tbody.selectAll("tr")
), 500

Keep the closing paren indented to the same spot as window. That should fix the compile.

"Worrying Will Do You No Good"
I thought this song was the perfect answer to the previous track, "Best of the Real." I worry too much. I know I worry too much. But how do I stop? Sometimes it helps me to write songs giving myself advice. It's like my higher self talking to my daily mundane self, just trying to live a better life... But this song is the most pleasantly lighthearted on the whole album.
The entire first verse came to me when I was taking a walk. The rhythm fit my footsteps. Later when I was trying to work through the B section and struggling to find the right lyrics, those also just came to me on a walk in the forest (the same forest where the photos for this album cover were shot).
I have to credit my amazing friend, pianist, and collaborator Jacob Hiser heavily on this song. I knew when I wrote it that it was going to require a groove that I was unable to play myself. The first time I brought it in to Jacob, I spent about fifteen seconds explaining the feel, handed him the lead sheet, and from the very first run-through it was even better than I could have imagined. He also helped structure the ending. Singing this song with him always makes me happy, and it actually does make me feel less worried!

This Weekend in DC Is More Than Marches
We talk to the organizers of the Anti-Ball Women's March After Party, just one of the many events taking place in DC this weekend.
by Emily McBride
The Anti-Ball Women's March After Party and Planned Parenthood Benefit will take place at the Black Cat venue in DC on January 21, for those of you looking to ease your post-inauguration woes in solidarity with a group of likeminded artists and indomitable attendees. A night of music and protest, the anti-ball features a bevy of artists such as Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio), Kimya Dawson, Trixie Whitley, Jeffrey Lewis, Holly Miranda, Nels Cline (Wilco), Yuka Honda (Cibo Matto) and TEEN, among others.
The event was put together by organizers Deenah Vollmer (Brooklyn writer and member of The Pizza Underground), Stuart Bogie (Superhuman Happiness, pictured above), Amanda, and Ali Philippides with help from a network of friends and musicians along the way.
"After the election, I knew Trump wouldn't get any musicians for inauguration," explains Amanda. "I thought it would be great to not only see musicians sitting out, but standing up in resistance. And so Stuart and I started poking around to see what people were doing and how we could help. After the election, we had also formed a small organizing group with some friends—we call it the Think Tank—to take specific actions and to help out on other group's actions, so once we started organizing this, everyone jumped on board. Someone is coordinating merchandise, a friend of mine made granola bars for the trip, another friend wrote up the press release, a lot of people donated their time."
Bogie, acting as musical director of the event, will be performing with his band Superhuman Happiness as well as the house band, featuring members of Antibalas. The curation of the lineup, he said, was a group effort, and the decision to turn the event into a benefit for Planned Parenthood was a no-brainer.
"Planned Parenthood is one of the institutions that is in greatest danger of being destroyed, and they work for women's health," said Bogie. "It's an institution we could all get behind and one that related to the march. We wanted to perform for the demonstrators, to offer them music from our hearts after they gave their time and bodies to be there. So a sense a gratitude motivated us to make it an after-party. Also, and just importantly, most of the people performing and organizing this were headed to DC to march already, or were considering it."
In addition to their event, the Anti-Ball's organizing team also created a website called All Together Now DC to showcase all of the music and arts events happening in the U.S. capitol in support of the women's march and in resistance to the inauguration.
"I want to inspire people to take action," said Amanda. "This one Stuart, Deenah, my friend Ali and I took the initial lead on, but for the next months I will be the supporter on the actions that my friends or people in my community are taking. It was a crazy undertaking for us, but in my opinion, the more crazy undertakings people do, the better."
Bogie adds: "The event is important because people need music, and we need to share it. With the current turmoil, this fact is amplified."
See you there, or at the march, or at any one of the plethora of events happening in D.C. from today.

Hanoi (VNA) – Disabled people who are active in the fields of economics, development, society and management participated in the "We can do it" event in Hanoi on November 29.
The event was held by the Embassy of Switzerland in Vietnam along with the Action to the Community Development Centre (ACDC) and the ICRC MoveAbility Foundation under the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Despite have a leg disability, Truong Cong Nghiem, Chairman of the Da Nang Association of Disabled People, has become an owner of a printing company.
Meanwhile, Dang Tran Thanh has become Director of FiveColour Company, despite having a hearing impairment. The firm, which specialises in handicraft production in Hanoi, also generates jobs for many hearing-impaired people.
Nguyen Thi Thuy, who lost one third of her left leg, represented Vietnam at the ASEAN Para Games in 2015 in track-and-field. She won a gold medal in the 200m and has won a total of 17 gold medals in international competition.
Despite having osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, Nguyen Thi Lan Anh, has overcome difficulties to become Director of the ACDC, a consultant of the National Committee for Vietnamese Persons with Disabilities and a member of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Federation for Disabilities in 2017-2022.
Addressing the programme, President of the Vietnam Red Cross Society (VRC) Nguyen Thi Xuan Thu said the VRC has implemented several activities to support poor people and those with disabilities across Vietnam.
The association has also called on organisations and individuals to support disabled people, she added.
Swiss Ambassador to Vietnam Beatrice Maser highlighted the theme of the 2017 International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3), which is "Transformation towards sustainable and resilient society for all".
To realise this goal, it is necessary to create equal opportunities for people with disabilities, she said.
The annual day was launched in 1992 by the United Nations General Assembly, aiming to promote the rights and well-being of the disabled in all spheres of society and development, and increasing awareness of disabled people in political, social, economic and cultural life.-VNA

Q: PHP SEARCH SQL - Website I've this coding that works fine on localhost. But in my website it doesnt, and I guess its due do MARIADB version 10.1.24
Here's the code:
$search1 = @$_GET['valuelo'];
$search2 = @$_GET['valuear'];
$search3 = @$_GET['valueco'];
$search4 = @$_GET['valuero'];
$search5 = @$_GET['valuefl'];
$search6 = @$_GET['valuelu'];
$search7 = @$_GET['valuetr'];
$search8 = @$_GET['valuepo'];

   $sql = "SELECT * FROM location, area, condition, rooms, floor, luxury, trendy, pool
     WHERE 'location' LIKE '%$search1%'
     AND 'area' LIKE '%$search2%'
     AND 'condition' LIKE '%$search3%'
     AND 'rooms' LIKE '%$search4%'
     AND 'floor' LIKE '%$search5%'
     AND 'luxury' LIKE '%$search6%'
     AND 'trendy' LIKE '%$search7%'
     AND 'pool' LIKE '%$search8%'";

Here's the error:
ERROR: Could not able to execute
SELECT  *
    FROM  location, area, condition, rooms, floor, luxury, trendy,
        pool
    WHERE  locationbw LIKE '%%'
      AND  area LIKE '%%'
      AND  condition LIKE '%%'
      AND  rooms LIKE '%%'
      AND  floor LIKE '%%'
      AND  luxury LIKE '%%'
      AND  trendy LIKE '%%'
      AND  pool LIKE '%%'

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'condition, rooms, floor, luxury, trendy, pool WHERE locationbw LIKE '%%' ' at line 1
Please help me! I see everything right

A: Enclose the table-name and column-name into backquote (`) else query will break at the point where you use the MariaDB keyword. In your query "condition" is MariaDB keyword

"SELECT * FROM `location`, `area`, `condition`, `rooms`, `floor`, `luxury`, `trendy`, `pool` WHERE `location` LIKE '%$search1%'
       AND `area` LIKE '%$search2%'
       AND `condition` LIKE '%$search3%'
       AND `rooms` LIKE '%$search4%'
       AND `floor` LIKE '%$search5%'
       AND `luxury` LIKE '%$search6%'
       AND `trendy` LIKE '%$search7%'
       AND `pool` LIKE '%$search8%'";

A: Your SQL statement is not correct in so many ways that it surprises me it's producing anything good in your development environment.
A good way to proceed in these situations is to concatenate the results of every single table search into a single output, using UNION statements. Provided the tables share a minimum number of identically named and typed fields (signally, Id and Name):
SELECT 'Location' AS Type, Id AS ID, Name AS Ref
FROM location
WHERE location_field LIKE '%$search1%'
  UNION
SELECT 'Area' AS Type, Id AS ID, Name AS Ref
FROM area
WHERE area_field LIKE '%$search2%'
  UNION
SELECT 'Room' AS Type, Id AS ID, Name AS Ref
FROM rooms
WHERE rooms_field LIKE '%$search3%'
  UNION
...

On the top of that, additional checks on the value of the search fields would help building (or skipping) WHERE clauses. Last but not least, use prepared statements instead of building your query strings manually.

Reprise Records is an American record label, owned by Warner Music Group, operated through Warner Bros. Records. Reprise was originally formed in 1960 by Frank Sinatra in order to allow more artistic freedom for his own recordings. Fellow Rat Pack members Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. also moved to the label. Stand up comedian Redd Foxx also recorded for the label during its fledgling years. Reprise was sold to Warner Bros. Records in early 1963. In the time since, Warner Bros. has often treated Reprise as a bit of a secondary parent label, as many of its subsidiary labels have had their records released in conjunction with Reprise. Today it is home to such artists as Neil Young, Green Day, The Network, Josh Groban and My Chemical Romance. In the late 1970s, Joni Mitchell and Captain Beefheart having left the label, Sinatra expressed a wish to be the sole artiste on Reprise - but Neil Young refused to leave.

You could be forgiven for thinking that Denzel Washington actually is a cop, given the amount of times he seems to play one on screen. To be fair, he manages to put a reasonably fresh spin on each new character, here replacing the sarcasm from Inside Man with a sort of jovial efficiency.
This time around he's an ATF agent investigating an explosion on a New Orleans ferry that killed 500 people. When the body of a young woman washes up full of clues it forms the basis of his search and leads him to a government agency led by Kilmer who have developed technology that allows them to look exactly 4 days, 6 hours into the past (no, really). They can go to any location within a certain radius, round corners and through walls, allowing them to search for clues and identify the bomber. But what if the contraption can be used to go back and actually stop the event from ever happening?
More talk than walk, Deja Vu is a really rather pedestrian police procedural dressed up as high concept sci-fi. Action scenes are surprisingly thin on the ground, limited to a couple of car chases and a couple of shoot-outs. And, like any time paradox thriller, what the filmmakers seem to get away with on the surface will ultimately cause your brain to fold in on itself if you think about it too much. This leaves Deja Vu as far too silly to take seriously and far too serious to be any fun.
Still, Tony Scott at least seems to have temporarily regained the ability to direct a film like a normal person. Perversely though, a bit of his usual hi-jinks is maybe just what Deja Vu is lacking. The trailer kind of hints at flashiness and events repeating themselves, but it's played straight as a die and is unfortunately all the duller for it. Washington's presence does manage to elevate it to a cut above but, in all honesty, without him it could just as easily be a piece of DTV hokum with Christopher Lambert or Mario Van Peebles.

NOT being able to have children - when it is all you want, more than anything in the world - is a dark and devastating place.
It consumes you; it is all you can think about, you look at other people and think, "why can they have children and I can't?", you start questioning if there is a reason you can't fall pregnant, some divine intervention suggesting you're not fit to be a parent.
The thoughts during this time are dark, disturbing and unhealthy.
For three years my husband and I did round after round of IVF and embryo transfers.
Having had a vasectomy before I met him, we saw all the required specialists first who advised us IVF was our best chance.
Many people underestimate the finality of a vasectomy, being told by "ads" that it is easily reversible should you change your mind.
It is reversible but what many don't realise is that the chances of it successfully reversing after a few years greatly diminishes.
Further, as sperm is produced what the body considers "outside", when a man who has had a vasectomy starts producing sperm again the body releases antibodies to attack and kill it.
In most cases, the only step from here is to wash the sperm and go through IVF anyway.
This can be a costly procedure for those who have paid the $8000 plus for the reversal and then have to go through IVF after all that.
So as advised, we went straight to IVF.
Being 27, I was told I was at a peak fertility age. I was naive. I believed it would happen straight away. I went out and bought a cot.
So when I fell pregnant and then lost, a few days later, the first embryo transferred, I was a mess.
And then with each subsequent embryo transfer after that - we had five in total - I became more and more depressed.
I would read stories in the news of people abusing their children and think, "why do people like that get to have children and I don't?"
During this dark period I couldn't even look at pregnant ladies.
Worse yet, some friends of ours were doing IVF at the same time and they fell pregnant straight away.
I'm not sure who this was hardest for.
The happiest time in their life and it was marred because they were concerned about us. I tried my hardest to be happy for them. But I was hurting so much. It was very hard.
By this stage we had spent almost $20,000 on IVF. But the emotional toll was even more.
A few weeks before we had our last two embryos transferred, we were visiting family in central NSW when my husband bumped into an old friend from school.
We went over for a barbeque and it slipped out they were on a break in between rounds of IVF too.
They told us about an IVF clinic in Sydney called Westmead Fertility Centre. Their philosophy is to "make fertility treatment accessible to all patients".
Having never heard of it, the minute I got the negative pregnancy test result on our last embryo transfer I called them up.
Within a few weeks we had conducted the consult over the phone with the gynecologist, visited the clinic to pick up the medications and were embarking on another round of IVF.
But this round was different. Our out-of-pocket expenses were $900, as opposed to the $7500 we forked out for our first round of IVF.
Because we live in Queensland, during the cycle I had to return to the clinic we used the first time to have the required scans.
It was during one of these visits that I told the owner of the clinic about Westmead.
They said no clinic could possibly take embryos to blastocyst for that cost. Blastocyst is where the embryos are cultured in a lab to the blastocyst stage of development (five days after fertilization) before being transferred back into the womb.
I assured them it did.
But there were other differences too, from the way Westmead handled the cycle to harvesting the eggs to transferring the embryo. They are the leaders in IVF in Australia, and it is easy to see why.
There were also one big difference in me. I wasn't stressed.
I felt I was in the best hands at Westmead and knew if the IVF cycle didn't work, the most we had lost was $900 and some time.
And we could afford to do another round if it didn't work. I didn't feel like this during our first round of IVF and embryo transfers.
After I had my egg pick up they took all six to blastocyst.
From this six we were left with one they called a mega-blastocyst. Essentially, when the cells divide after fertilization, the cells in this embryo had divided 150 times.
So confident was the doctor that when the transfer took place, he patted me on the knee and said, "see you in nine months."
Since then I have experienced two of the most amazing, important and significant days of my life.
One: when I found out I was pregnant.
Two: when my beautiful, beautiful son was born.
I want to spread the word of Westmead.
As APN Australian Regional Media's social media editor I often see Facebook posts about people struggling to afford IVF and on some occasions I have reached out to them personally to tell them about Westmead.
But the more people I can tell the better.
There are other affordable options out there. Don't give up.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Since this was first published, I had another successful IVF cycle with Westmead Fertility Centre and on December 22, 2015 welcomed my second little miracle, a beautiful daughter, into the world.

Q: Cross-browser table layout with fixed header and footer I need help with realisation of the layout below: the header and the footer are sticked to top and to bottom respectively, and the content fills all remained space.

The problem is that heights of header and footer are not specified. I tried to use tables, and that worked, but only in Chrome. And I need it to work in IE8+. Maybe it is simple to modify my attempt?
Here is what I did (jsfiddle):

content

/*CSS*/
html, body, table{
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}
#main{
    height: 100%;
}
#main div{
    height: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
}

A: Using position:fixed property header and the footer are sticked to top and to bottom respectively, to adjust content correctly you need to calculate header height
DEMO
CSS
#header {
    background-color: green;
    position:fixed;
    top:0;
}
#footer {
    background-color: green;
    position:fixed;
    bottom:0;
}

jQuery
var headerHeight = $("#header").height();

$("#main").css('margin-top' , headerHeight+10);


RSA BSAFE® Micro Edition Suite, Crypto-C Micro Edition, Crypto-J and SSL-J contain a fix to address Lenstra?s attack.
An undetected error during a PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA signature operation using CRT private values can potentially leak a private key prime via a side channel attack.
For TLS/SSL capable toolkits an attack is carried out by attempting to establish a TLS connection to a server that implements the ServerKeyExchange message during the handshake process, negotiate Perfect Forward Secrecy and look for the ServerKeyExchange message to report a failure due to an incorrectly computed signature. Once a signature failure is reported, the RSA private key data can be recovered (similar to CVE-2015-0478).
RSA recommends all RSA BSAFE SSL-C customers upgrade to RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite (MES) as per previous notifications about the End Of Life (EOL) for RSA BSAFE SSL-C.
The following workaround is available for CVE-2016-0887.
It is recommended that applications verify all RSA signature creation. This includes when creating a signature with the sign APIs as well as signing certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses and CMS messages.
When using TLS in a server with an RSA certificate, the following option is available: Change the server PKI to a DSA cert and use TLS_DHE_DSS_* cipher suites.
NOTE: Servers using TLS_RSA_* cipher suites perform RSA decrypt operation and are not vulnerable but do not have Perfect Forward Secrecy.
To request your upgrade of the software, please call your local support telephone number (contact phone numbers are available at http://www.emc.com/support/rsa/contact/index.htm) for most expedient service.

The Jerusalem Jews want Paul sentenced (Acts 25:15)
"When I was in Jerusalem,
The chief priests
And the elders of the Jews
Informed me
About Paul.
They asked
For a sentence
Against him."
περὶ οὗ γενομένου μου εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἐνεφάνισαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῶν Ἰουδαίων, αἰτούμενοι κατ' αὐτοῦ καταδίκην·
The author of Acts indicated that Festus said that when he was in Jerusalem (περὶ οὗ γενομένου μου εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα), the chief priests (οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς) and the elders of the Jews (καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῶν Ἰουδαίων) informed (ἐνεφάνισαν) him about Paul. They asked (αἰτούμενοι) for a sentence against him (κατ' αὐτοῦ καταδίκην). Governor Festus told his experiences with Paul and the Jews in Jerusalem, as in verses 2-5, earlier in this chapter. When he was in Jerusalem, the Jewish high priests and the elders wanted the governor to sentence Paul. Festus knew nothing about the case except that Paul was a prisoner in Caesarea and the Jews in Jerusalem did not like him. How was Paul both a religious and a political prisoner?

Q: get user displayName in firebase cloud function using context In my firebase cloud function, I can get the email of each user that makes a call on the client side using:
context.auth.token.email

Is there a way to obtain the user's display name? I tried context.auth.token.name but it still return an undefined property.

A: The context.auth.token is an object of type DecodedToken which does not contain user display name. You'll have to use Admin SDK and get user by UID/email.
export const functionName = functions.https.onCall(async (data, ctx) => {
  const { uid } = ctx.auth?.token
  const user = await getAuth().getUser(uid)
  console.log(user.displayName)

Talented Marietta squad coasts past struggling Cambridge for 52-15 victory
Kevin Sutton
A tough start to the new season continued for a young Cambridge High girls basketball team on Wednesday, suffering a 52-15 setback to visiting Marietta. It was the Lady Bobcats fourth consecutive loss to begin the year.
"Obviously this is not how we wanted to start the season," CHS head coach Tim Leppla offered. "A victory right now would definitely help our morale. Once it gets snowballing on us like it did tonight, with the girls being so young and inexperienced, that goes right to the here-we-go-again mindset.
"Marietta is a very talented team, you have to give them credit," Leppla continued. "Their pressed really hurt us, and our kids just have to keep working on their fundamentals. And do a better job of handling the basketball, and we as coaches have to do a better job helping them with that."
Marietta wasted little time in jumping out to a commanding lead thanks to Jacey McKnight. The Lady Tigers' sophomore point guard buried back-to-back 3-pointers for a quick 6-0 lead at the 7:01 mark of the first quarter.
Sophomore Emma Krise answered for the Lady Cats' to get on the board and trim the lead to 6-2.
But Marietta's full court press suffocated the young Cambridge ball handlers, who committed 10 turnovers in the opening quarter to face an early 21-7 deficit.
Things didn't improve in the second stanza, as the Lady Tigers held Cambridge scoreless to post a 16-0 advantage to build the lead to 37-7 at halftime.
"We all just have to do a better job, I gotta do a better job, our coaching staff has to do a better job and our players have to do a better job," Leppla said. "Just keep growing and working hard that's all we can ask of these girls. Just are no easy and quick fixes, just a lot of hard work ahead of us. I'm confident this group will accept the challenge in front of us."
Marietta head coach Ryan McClain called off the full court pressure near the end of the second quarter, and then substituted freely the second half which ended with the Lady Tigers holding a 13-8 scoring edge for the final count of 52-15.
The Lady Tigers improved to 3-0 with the win, and enjoyed a balanced scoring attack with Leigha Lauer leading the way with 17 points, Riley Medley added 12 and McKnight finished with 11 markers.
Cambridge was led by freshman Miranda Cole with seven points, with Krise finishing with four and junior Kiara Murphy chipped in with three.
Cambridge improved to 3-1 in the JV match-up with a 32-31 victory on Brynn Eubanks game-winning bucket in the second overtime session. Mel Ruiz and Jada Hall each tallied eight points to lead the young Lady Bobcats, while Bailey Kenworthy added seven.
NEXT −Cambridge will host Martins Ferry in Buckeye 8 action on Saturday with JV action starting at 6 p.m.
West Muskingum 40, Meadowbrook 34
Taylor Spung collected nine of her team-high 12 points in the fourth quarter, propelling West Muskingum past visiting Meadowbrook 40-34 in Wednesday's Muskingum Valley League Small School Division tilt.
Six players scored in the first quarter, including 3s by Debra Allen and Laney Johnson, to stake the Tornadoes (2-1, 1-0) to a 13-5 advantage through one quarter.
Senior Maddie May and junior Kenli Norman had four points apiece in the second to bring the Lady Colts within 17-15 at the half.
Gracie Settles scored five points, including a 3, to help West M take a 26-23 lead into the fourth, while Norman and Karly Launder had four points apiece in the third.
Settles added eight points and Caitlyn Drake scored six for the Lady Tornadoes, while Norman finished with 12 points and May chipped in eight for the Lady Colts (1-1 overall, 0-1 MVL).
NEXT − Meadowbrook travels to Morgan on Saturday at 2 p.m. for another MVL match-up.
Buckeye Trail 46, Conotton Valley 25
Visiting Buckeye Trail improved to 3-0 on the season with the 46-25 Inter-Valley Conference road win over Conotton Valley on Wednesday night.
No game information was submitted.
NEXT - Buckeye Trail will host Caldwell on Monday at 7 p.m.

CNSC holds public hearing for the licence renewal of McClean Lake Operation
McClean Lake Operation
The McClean Lake Operation, owned and operated by AREVA Resources Canada Inc. (AREVA), is located approximately 750 km north of Saskatoon, SK. The current licence authorizes AREVA's McClean Lake Operation to produce up to 10,909,090 kg of uranium concentrate per year, along with associated operations. The current licence also authorizes AREVA to process uranium ore slurry from Cameco Corporation's Cigar Lake Operation, also located in northern Saskatchewan.
With the operating licence set to expire on June 30, 2017, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will hold a public hearing to consider the application from AREVA for a 12-year renewal of its uranium mine operating licence for the McClean Lake Operation.
CNSC holds hearing in the community
The public hearing will take place on June 7–8, 2017 in La Ronge, SK, where the Commission will consider information presented by the licensee and CNSC staff, as well as 11 interventions from members of the public, Indigenous groups and other stakeholders.
The public hearing will be webcast live and available for 90 days on the CNSC website at nuclearsafety.gc.ca.
You can consult all key hearing documents by requesting them electronically. These include submissions from CNSC staff, AREVA and intervenors.
Participant funding
A total of $75,000 was made available through the CNSC Participant Funding Program to facilitate public participation in the relicensing process.
An independent committee reviewed the funding requests. Of the nine intervenors who received funding, five were Indigenous groups.
Aerial view of McClean Lake Operation
Compliance verification activities
The CNSC is responsible for regulating and licensing all existing and future uranium mining and milling operations in Canada. The CNSC has staff in Ottawa, ON and at its regional office in Saskatoon, SK, who perform inspections to evaluate operations and verify compliance with regulatory requirements and licence conditions. Inspections conducted by CNSC staff during the current licence period did not identify any findings that posed a risk to human health and safety, or to the environment. You can learn more about AREVA's regulatory performance at the McClean Lake Operation in the CNSC's annual regulatory oversight report for uranium mines and mills.
Based on compliance verification activities and the detailed review of AREVA's licence application, CNSC staff conclude:
AREVA continues to uphold its commitment to radiation protection, environmental protection and to the health and safety of persons.
Environmental programs implemented at the McClean Lake Operation are satisfactory.
The safety of the public and the environment around the McCLean Lake Operation is maintained by regularly sampling soil, water and plants around operating sites.
CNSC staff will recommend that the Commission renew the uranium mine operating licence to authorize AREVA to operate the McClean Lake Operation until June 30, 2029.
