This was fixing the problem for a while. Now though, it is still happening and those commands won't fix it. Any ideas? Thanks.
What's your current config-register status ? 0x2102 boots the config in the nvram where 0x2142 boots into the setup mode and it will deny any config in the nvram at that moment. My assumption it can't find a decent config in its boot sequence and it starts to look for a tftp server and get some configs from there.
If you need to reconfigure that much i'd copy a default config to the startup, reset register to 0x2102, and then only play with the running-config itself. you can erase that one as much as you want, as long as you don't copy the running to startup you'll always end up in a nice default env.
PS: Post 1000. YAY !

Women and the Nobel Peace Prize
Jane Addams, ca. 1915 (Swarthmore Peace Collection).
Jane Addams was the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts in the peace movement and social work, but who were the other women who have won the prize? Learn a little bit about each of the 16 total women winners and when they won their prizes.
Bertha von Suttner (1905)- Born in Austria-Hungary, she was a pacifist and novelist. She worked as a secretary for Alfred Nobel in 1876, but only a few months later quit her job and got married in Vienna. She kept in touch with Nobel and was not shy to share her objections of dynamites used for military purposes. She actively worked in the Austria and Germany peace movement and was awarded the Nobel Peace PRize by the Norwegian Nobel Committee after her death in 1889.
Jane Addams (1931)- An Illinois native, Jane Addams was a novel pacifist, suffragist, and trailblazer in social work. She is known as the mother of social work, with her discovery of Hull House being a symbol of a way to "provide a center for a higher civic and social life; to institute and maintain educational and philanthropic enterprises and to investigate and improve the conditions in the industrial districts of Chicago." She was also the first president of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) Addams won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
Emily Greene Balch (1946): Balch was born in Boston and was an American economist, sociologist, and pacifist. She always had an interest in social issues like poverty, immigration, and child labor and worked to reduce juvenile delinquency and aide poor immigrants. Balch collaborated with Jane Addams at the start of WWI and the two worked for the WILPF, with Balch's work giving her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946.
Betty Williams (1976): Irish native Betty Williams was the Founder of the Northern Ireland Peace Movement, later renamed Community of Peace People. In the early 1970s, Williams joined an anti-violence campaign and grew interested in the grass-roots campaigning for peace and non-violence in Ireland. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1976 and is currently in charge of the World centers of Compassion for Children International.
Mairead Corrigan (1976): Corrigan shares the Nobel Peace Prize with Williams and won her prize for her efforts in ending violence in Northern Ireland. When the Irish people became discouraged in the Peace People, Corrigan kept her hopes up and continued to support the cause with admirable devotion. Corrigan was also a founder of the Northern Ireland Peace Movement.
Mother Teresa (1979): Born in Macedonia, at the time the Ottoman Empire, Mother Teresa got her call to God at the age of 12 and knew she was destined to spread the love of Christ. She dedicated her life to helping the poor; she built homes for orphans, nursing homes for lepers and hospice for the terminally ill in Calcutta. She created the Missionaries of Charity and in 2003, the Pope began her canonization and was declared a saint by Pope Francis in 2016.
Alva Myrdal (1982): The Swedish native was an advocate of disarmament and was a diplomat, writer, and former Cabinet Minister in Sweden. She was also a campaigner for women's rights and after WWII, Myrdal held prominent posts in the United Nations. In 1955, she was the Swedish Ambassador to India. She worked extensively to persuade world leaders to disarm and fought for nuclear weapons-free zones in Europe.
Aung San Suu Kyi (1991): Born in Burma, she won the Nobel Peace Prize "for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights." She lead the opposition to the military junta that controlled Burma in 1962 and was a founder of the National League for Democracy (NLD). Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, she opposed all violence and called on leaders to give power to a civilian government. The military rule arrested members of the NLD, including her, yet the Peace Prize had a significant impact on her house arrest, that was supposed to last 21 years but only lasted almost 15 years. Aung San Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.
Rigoberta Menchú (1992): The Guatemala native was raised by an poor Indian peasant family and helped work on the family farm. She became involved in social reform through the Catholic Church and was a prominent figure in women's right in her teen years. She continues to work for the rights of indigenous peoples, with the Nobel Peace Prize motivation being "in recognition of her work for social justice and ethno-cultural reconciliation based on respect for the rights of indigenous peoples." She became a UN Ambassador for the world' indigenous peoples.
Jody Wlliams (1997): American pacifist Jody Williams always was interested in international politics and relations and was interested in war-torn El Salvador during the 1980s. She became interested in landmines and the serious threat they posed, so she become a trailblazer of an international campaign against landmines. By 1997, the International Campaign for Ban Landmines (ICBL) included 1,000 organizations and 60 countries as members. The Ottawa Convention will forever be associated with Williams, which banned the use, production, sale and stock-iling of anti-personnel mines. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997.
Shirin Ebadi (2003): Shirin Ebadi was born in Iran and was Iran's first female judge. She defended people who were persecuted by authorities and in 2000 she was imprisoned for critizicing her country's hierocracy. She became interested in fundamental human rights, specifically women's and children's rights and soon became and advocate for the separation of church and state in Iran. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 "for her efforts for democracy and human rights. She has focused especially on the struggle for the rights of women and children." The Nobel Committee attempted to heal tensions between the Islamic and Western Worlds after the September 2001 attacks in the United States, while lend a hand in the Iranian reform movement.
Wangari Muta Maathai (2004):Wangari Muta Maathai was born in Kenya and opposed Daniel arap Moi's regime and advocated for democracy in Kenya. After obtaining her doctorate in biology and being the first female professor ever in Kenya, she started the grass-roots movement at countering deforestation. She started the Green Belt movement and contributed to the planting of over thirty million trees. She was the first African women to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (2011): She was born in Liberia and worked for the Liberian government and the United Nations. She ran for the Liberian presidency in 1997 but lost and ran for re-election in 2005 and won, and then won again in 2011. She is the first female head of state ever to be elected democratically in Africa and continues to work for peace, reconciliation, and social and economic development in Liberia. The prize motivation was "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work."
Leymah Gbowee (2011): Alongside Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee won the prize in 2011, with the two sharing the same goals of peace in Liberia. Since 1989, she calls for women to come together, regardless of ethnic and religious backgrounds, to obtain peace. After raising enough money, she led a delegation of Liberian women to Ghana to pressure peace-talks, which contributed to ending the war.
Tawakkol Karman (2011): Born in Yemen, Karman shared the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize for the non-violent struggle in protecting women's safety and building women's rights along with peace-building efforts. In 2005, she founded Women Journalists Without Chains to promote freedom of expression and democratic rights and was an active participant in the 2011 protests that took place in numerous Arab countries.
Malala Yousafzai (2014): Malala Yousafzai is the younger person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize, at 16 years old. She was born in Pakistan and would blog for BBC since 2009 about her personal experiences with the Taliban's growing influence and power. In 2012, the Taliban attempted to kill her, but after numerous surgeries in the UK she survived and still lives in the UK.

11.14.2019 Featured Story
By Grant Parpan and Tara Smith
A key prosecution witness came under intense scrutiny from the defense during cross examination Thursday on the third day of the trial of Thomas Murphy, the Holbrook man accused of killing a Wading River boy in an alleged drunken driving crash in Manorville last year.
Steven Meola, 58, of Queens, a longtime friend of Mr. Murphy's who testified Wednesday that he had seen the defendant drinking while they golfed earlier that day and was concerned about him driving, took the stand for nearly three hours again Thursday. Defense attorney Steven Politi attempted to call into question his character and reliability as a witness in the case before Acting Supreme Court Justice Fernando Camacho.
Mr. Politi grilled Mr. Meola on everything from the size of the bottle of vodka brought by another friend to Swan Lake Golf Club on Sept. 30, 2018, to the amount of alcohol his friends consumed that day and even his personal posts on Facebook. Taking an often combative approach, Mr. Politi scrutinized Mr. Meola's questionable behavior online and thirst for attention as he attempted to show that Mr. Meola and Mr. Murphy aren't as close as he says.
"You knew that [Mr. Murphy] thought you were a perverted, disgusting animal, correct?" Mr. Politi asked at one point.
"No," Mr. Meola began to answer before prosecutors objected to the question.
Mr. Meola testified that he and Mr. Murphy had never hung out alone and was unable to name any of Mr. Murphy's three daughters by name.
Mr. Politi showed the jury a handful of memes Mr. Meola admitted to posting on social media, which the attorney described as racist, sexually explicit and offensive to women. He asked Mr. Meola, who testified that he is unemployed and had a revoked driver's license, on several occasions if he was ever banned from Facebook.
"You're banned because of the horrible, offensive, perverted, disgusting, disgraceful and depraved things that you post on Facebook, right?" Mr. Politi asked.
"No," Mr. Meola replied. "Just stuff that goes against the community standards."
"You don't fit into this community right, Mr. Meola?" Mr. Politi shot back, prompting Judge Camacho to intervene.
"Stop, stop," the judge said. "Let's not go there."
Mr. Politi also produced several explicit text messages between Mr. Meola and an unidentified woman. In one exchange she asks if he's the star witness for the DA.
"…yes i am. me and my other 2 friends who were with us," he responded.
During redirect questioning, Assistant District Attorney Brendan Ahern brought the focus back to the events of Sept. 30, when Mr. Murphy crashed his car into a pack of Boy Scouts, killing 12-year-old Andrew McMorris and severely injuring his friend Thomas Lane. Mr. Ahern asked a series of questions that pointed out how despite having a relationship with Mr. Murphy and having never before met any of the victims or their families, Mr. Meola was in the witness box testifying against someone he considered a friend. The line of questioning appeared to be designed to dismiss some of the details Mr. Politi asked Mr. Meola to recall as unimportant compared to what he saw as he rode as a passenger one car behind Mr. Murphy on David Terry Road that afternoon.
"When you said [earlier] you couldn't sleep for a month, why?" Mr Ahern asked Mr. Meola.
"I kept reliving that moment of the accident in my head and I'd just wake up in a cold sweat," the witness responded.
"Had you ever seen children in the condition that you found 12-year-old Andrew McMorris?" the prosecutor continued.
"No, sir," Mr. Meola said.
"Can you get that image out of your head?" Mr. Ahern followed.
"Never," he responded as he began to cry.
Outside of the courtroom Thursday, Andrew's mother, Alisa McMorris, said all she can hear during the testimony is reminders of the accident.
"My baby screamed when he was hit and flailed his arms and landed," she said in her brief remarks to reporters. "So when they say it happened so fast, it was enough for my baby to feel pain, scream in horror and then land."
She then placed her hand over her heart and walked away.
Prosecutors have said a blood test of Mr. Murphy taken nearly four hours after the crash showed a blood alcohol content of .13. A toxicologist is expected to testify during trial that Mr. Murphy's likely BAC was .19, more than twice the legal limit, at the moment of impact.
Mr. Murphy, 60, is facing a top charge of aggravated vehicular homicide, which carries a maximum sentence of 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison.
Judge Camacho said that scheduling conflicts will prevent testimony from continuing before Tuesday. The trial is expected to last several more weeks.

Heist Society optioned by Pitch Perfect producers
June 27, 2013 by Ally Carter 124 Comments
Secret #2 has broken, and boy is it Aca-Awesome…
Heist Society has been optioned by Lionsgate (yes, the studio that brought us Hunger Games) and Max Handelman & Elizabeth Banks (yes, Effie Trinket herself)!
As most of you probably know, Pitch Perfect was my favorite movie of last year.
There are too few movies that feature women–much less movies that feature bright, capable YOUNG women. Pitch Perfect has been one of very few exceptions to that in recent history, and so I am ecstatic to entrust Heist Society to the people who made that movie possible.
It is all still VERY new, but I have spoken with Max and Elizabeth on the phone, and let me tell you, they are so smart and have such a great grasp of the material that I am absolutely thrilled with the possibilities.
And now…because I know you guys have questions:
Will a movie happen? We cannot say for sure. An option is just that–an option to someday make the material into a movie. It is absolutely not a guarantee. But I am optimistic.
Who will be in the movie? We are still a world away from knowing that.
Will this version of Heist Society age up the characters like last version was going to? Possibly. I don't think anybody knows for sure yet, but I would certainly be fine with that.
Can I try out for the movie? Again, that is still ages away.
Who is your dream Kat? Hale? I'm pretty sure that the producers and the studio are going to focus on getting the right script first, so I'm going to focus on that as well.
Will you be involved in the movie? Not officially, but I have a good feeling that 1. Max and Elizabeth have a great respect for the material and 2. They will be open to ideas and suggestions.
Does this mean you will write more Heist books (after Perfect Scoundrels)? That has always been my hope. I love these characters and this series, and I have no intention of saying goodbye to them any time soon.
And that's it, folks. Secret number 2.
I hope you're as excited about it as I am.

kaitlin says
I hope they do some day!!
Belanca says
I love Gallagher even more then the other series I certainly bet they will make it a movie someday… Hopefully
i was soo depresed when I finished United WE Spy!! they should really d a movie for each gallager book, like the hunger games.
I really hope they will make a movie! I think they would be great!
CALM! STAY CALM!
no, not possible!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING OUT NOW
IM CRAZY!!!!!!!!
AGREE!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'M CRAZAY
OH MY GOSH!!! YES YES YES!!! WHEN??? So glad the Gallagher Girls get the opportunity too!
*screams* THIS IS ACA-AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still cant believe it!
Fingers crossed it will all go through!
eeeee!! I'm sad no more Gallagher girls 🙁
Gia says
YES!!!!!!!!!
I just really hope that they don't ruin the picture of them in my mind like The immortal instruments series did. I mean come on, Jace looks bald. But I'm so happy that Ally Carter is going to make more Heist Society Books! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me you've actually SEEN The Mortal Instruments now that it's out? Because Jamie Campbell Bower is the PERFECT Jace, and he NO WHERE near bald!
@ Linda.
Though I haven't seen the Mortal Instruments movie… yet, I agree with Gia. Though it didn't totally die in my mind, I just thought that Bower didn't make the "perfect" Jace. Though I don't think that's possible. But he just didn't seem as…well, HOT as the Jace in the book. Though I'm with you on the bald part Linda. He's hair seems all intact to me. But we all now that a movie will NEVER be as good as the book.
On another note, I'M SOO HAPPY!! I really hope this pulls through, along with the Gallagher Girls! The Heist books and Gallagher books will/should make a pretty awesome movie.
OMC!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Amazing! I'm literally screaming right now as I type! I love Pitch Perfect and if Heist Society is made into a movie and it's half as awesome as the book my life may be complete after seeing it. Now I have not only United We Spy to look forward to but Embassy Row in two years and possibly a Heist Society movie, this summer is full of the best surprises!
Water Lily says
OMG NO WAAAAYYY!!!!! Heist Society as a movie would be amazing!!!! My only fear is that it wouldn't be as spectacular as the books, but Pitch Perfect was incredible, so I have some hope 🙂
Mell says
Pitch Perfect= Best+movie+of+2012+no+compotion

Also in September I'm gonna have to read all the GG books again. SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leopard says
Dear Ally Carter and all of the other fans of the amazing literary world of Ally Carter,
There are a few things I would like to share with all of you. Now I am no expert, but I am currently studying Film production at college in hopes of one day making it behind the sense to help in the production of full length motion pictures. So I know a bit about the motion picture industry. As Ms. Carter pointed out, there will be a bit of a wait before anything starts happening on the picture. The studio might have to finish an ongoing project or find the right person to create the screen play. Once the Screen play is started, It might take a couple of years till they get a draft that will please all parties enough for them to start making production plans on the movie. Then the production plan stage…… that is where everything starts to get interesting. They pick filming locations and start to look at casting and other practicalities. Now when casting happens it can go down a couple of different ways (all depending on preference). At this point the studio has a board of producers, production designers, numerous other individuals, and a DIRECTOR. This director might be involved with casting or he could hire a group of casting directors to go through starting casting. In the end the director helps to make the decision on who gets picked for the roles. Now long list of people I was talking about earlier…. They are also involved in the final decision in some way. After reading the script, the Studio (or producers) might have a certain group of individuals who they want to cast in to the movie. If the studio gets the group they want, then there might not be any casting "try outs". But Say the studio does not have anyone in mind. Then they might have casting "try outs" but they will most likely be closed. This means the studio will send out information to all of the acting agencies. That means that you have to be a client at one of these acting agencies to even have the option of trying out for the picture. Now there is a chance that the studio will decide that they want to case a new face, someone that the world has not seen (or seen little of). This will allow for the chance of open casting "try outs". This option is not usually preferred by studios but occasionally they will. If these open try outs occurred then anyone could try out. The problem with this is that they will pick a day (Maybe a group of days depending on how many spots need cast) and a time frame. They will see as many people as they can in this time frame but usually space cannot be reserved. This means that at the given end time they will just leave. Tell the rest of the people "sorry, maybe if you come back tomorrow" or" the casting is over thanks for coming". I wish all of you who want to try out the best of luck. I am hoping for you that you will get the opportunity to show the studio how talented you are.
As for the Gallager Girls series becoming a movie, this is very possible. Most likely studios will wait to option the book(s) till after the Heist society movie comes out (but it all depends on time). If the Heist society movie does well (which I am sure it will) this makes the books even more likely to become movies. Studios like to make movies they know will make money. Now if the heist society Breaks record or doubles expected profit, there is no doubt in my mind that the studio will option the Gallager Girls Series. They might even have some competition for it. They will be thinking "Wow… This Ally Carter really knows her stuff. We can use her books and create movies that will make the public happy. And if the public is happy then we will be happy" …. Ok so that might have been a bit over dramatic. All in all, if you want the Gallager Girls series to become a movie, then tell everyone you know that you think that Heist society (once the movie is made of course) will be the best movie ever(which it could be) and that they should see it opening weekend (The weekend that in the studios minds matters the most).
I hope that my knowledge was helpful both to you fans and to you Ms. Ally Carter.
Thank you for everything.
Thats so cool that your in school for being a director!

I'm so excited but I think my favourite part of your blog was when you said you'd continue to write more about Kat and Hale! Thank you thank you thank you times a gajillion.

Alrighty. This is awesome, and I totally agree with all of the other excited comments, but from another rational standpoint, because the new series will be published by Scholastic, what does that mean for Kat and the crew? I understand that you still want to write about them, but will Scholastic adopt the series, or will you still write under Hyperion as well?
Also, because of the new option, does this mean that the previous owners will no longer have opportunity (and, thus Drew Barrymore as producer, etc. will all be scrapped)?
Super excited about both secrets! Just a little curious about the repercussions. Haha 🙂
Wow, that would be uh-mazing! Can't wait to find out more!
oooooooooops must have went through twice.
Wow!!! This is amazing! I really hope everything works out because I think this series would make a great movie!
AWESOME! Thats sooooo great!
b says
I would love to know if any audition news comes up because I would love to audition
I was about to scream but I decided not to because I would probably wake up my neighbors. I am in LOOOVE with Hale, so (if the movie happens) pick someone really awesome to play him. EEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! I LOOOOVE YOU (in an author to reader lovingly way) 🙂
Tessa says
I am sooo EXCITED!!!! This is going to be amazing!
I know this is probably waayyy too early to suggest, but I think the song "You and Me" by Parachute would be PERFECT in the Heist Society movie.

It seems that markets with IDs 30,31,32,33 are all named as Burgundy.
For the users it is hard to see that what is actually where..
so that they would also contain country information.
Hi, the API is using the same naming convention as the web for the markets. So we cannot change the market names in the API without changing the names on the web.
I will pass this on internally but I think it will remain unchanged.

Q: JSON to Xml - Hyphenated element name conversion in an XML file that uses hyphenated names for XML element Names - i need to convert the xml to JSON so that our webservice project(resteasy) understands the json. i have 1000s of these xml files - i need to find a quick way to automate these conversions.
what library can i use to accomplish this - i tried suggestions here but it didnot help
any suggestions?
example:
input:
<card-transaction xmlns="http://ws.google.com">
      <card-transaction-type>${card-transaction-type}</card-transaction-type>
      <merchant-transaction-id>${merchant-transaction-id}</merchant-transaction-id>
</card-transaction>

Output:
{
    "merchantTransactionId": "${merchantTransactionId}",
    "cardTransactionType": "${cardTransactionType}"
}

A: One approach (there are many others): XSLT 3.0 defines an XML vocabulary that's essentially a direct representation of the JSON you want to generate. Use XSLT to convert the XML into that vocabulary, then press the button (more literally, invoke the xml-to-json() function).

Elizabeth Blackburn is a Nobel Prize winner who created a sensation with her finding on telomere and telomerase. With this biography, explore about her, childhood, life, achievements and timeline.
Elizabeth Helen Blackburn is an Australian-American researcher who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for her path-breaking work that led to the discovery of "telomerase", the enzyme that replenishes the telomere—a structure at the end of chromosomes that protects the chromosome. She shared the Nobel Prize with her fellow co-researchers Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak. . Throughout her career, she has been honoured with numerous prestigious awards and honors including America's top honor Albert Lasker Award in Basic Medical Research and Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She was also elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, American Academy of Arts and Sciences and American Academy of Microbiology. For two years, she worked in medical ethics, serving as a member of the President's Council on Bioethics but was controversially dismissed due to conflict with Bush administration. In recent years, she has been involved in a study that investigates the effect of stress on telomerase and telomeres with particular emphasis on mindfulness meditation.
When she was barely four years old, the family shifted to Launceston. It was there that she attended the Broadland House Church of England Girls' Grammar School.
When she was sixteen, her family relocated to Melbourne where she enrolled at the University High School. It was during her time at the university high school that her interest in science was fuelled.
Matriculating with high marks, she enrolled at the University of Melbourne from where she earned a Bachelor degree in Science in 1970 and Master degree in Science in 1972.
Later moving over to England, she gained admission at the Darwin College at the University of Cambridge. In 1975, she gained her PhD degree.
Upon completing her doctoral studies, for two years, from 1975 to 1977 she d5d her postdoctoral work in molecular and cellular biology at the Yale University. It was during these years that she along with Joseph Gall undertook research of the single-celled organism, Tetrahymena and subsequently found out the presence of Telomeres.
In 1978, she joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley in the Department of Microbiology. Therein, she continued with her research on telomeres.
While at the University of California, she through her research came to know about the existence of a unique enzyme that controlled the duplication of telomere, continuously rebuilding the ends of chromosomes to protect them in the cells of young organisms, and allowing them to decay in older ones. However, the theory could not be proved and thus was rebuffed by scientists.
Meanwhile, Carol Greider, a science enthusiast, had completed her graduation with a major in biology. It was during an interview with Blackburn that she became interested in telomeres so much so that she decided to conduct her graduate research on telomeres, in Blackburn's laboratory.
Together the two worked on finding out more about telomere's regulating enzyme. They tried one method after the other, trying to observe the proteins found in telomeres, with an aim to discover if any of those performed the enzymatic activity that they were keen on discovering.
After failed attempts and unsuccessful trysts, they de-routed from their method and tried using oligonucleotides of DNA produced in a chemical synthesizer, rather than bacteria. To their surprise, the endless wait seemed to have paid off as an unfamiliar protein was finally detected in telomere. What's more, it performed an enzymatic action as assumed and predicted.
Extremely excited and thrilled by the discovery, they continued experimenting just to be certain that there was no alternative explanation for the activity than what they had assumed. Finally, the duo deduced that the enzyme, which they named 'telomerase', was regulating the growth of telomere.
Telomerase was responsible for adding layers of repetitive DNA to the end of the chromosome when the cell was young, and then turning off, leaving the telomere to wear away and the cell to die.
Their research and discovery created a sensation in the scientific community which sensed that the discovery in the course of time may lead to new treatments for degenerative diseases, as well as cancer.
In 1990, she took up a position at the UC San Francisco (UCSF) where he worked in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. She chaired the Department from 1993 to 1999.
In 2002, she was appointed to serve on the National Bioethics Advisory Commission which she eventually did for two years until her termination in 2004. Her stay wasn't a pleasant one as it was fuelled by contention between President and her. While she supported the human embryonic cell research, the Bush administration was against it.
Currently, she serves as the faculty member serving in both the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at UCSF. She is also a Non-Resident Fellow of the Salk Institute. Furthermore, she is the president-elect of the American Association for Cancer Research. She serves on the Science Advisory Board of the Genetics Policy Institute.
Her current research involves studying the effect of stress on telomeres and telomerase. According to the studies, psychological stress may accelerate the ageing at cellular level. Furthermore, it was found that in women subjected to intimate partner violence, the length of telomere was shortened, causing overall poor health and greater morbidity.
In 1990, she was bestowed with the National Academy of Sciences Award in Molecular Biology.
The American Cancer Society conferred her with a Medal of Honor in 2000.
The TIME Magazine listed her in the 2007's The TIME 100 list of The People who Shaped out World.
In 2009, she was conferred with the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine which she shared with Carol W. Greider and Jack Szostak.
In 2010, she was elected as the Fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales. Same year, she was appointed Companion of the Order of Australia.
In 2011, she was inducted into the California Hall of Fame.
She married John W. Sedat, and the couple has a son named Benjamin. She currently lives in San Francisco.

Animal-vehicle collisions have long been a problem in western states, leaving big game carcasses discarded along – or as an additional hazard, in the middle of – roadways. In April, it became legal in Montana to salvage and eat deer, elk, antelope and moose that have been hit and killed by cars.
Unfortunately, similar legislation, House Bill 144, died in the Wyoming Legislature this year, and currently, anyone who picks up road-killed game without a game warden permit runs the risk of being charged with poaching.
Apparently "hunting by vehicle" is at least part of the worry - that people could track a bison and wait until it gets on the road, get in their truck and try to run it over. but honestly, unless you're a complete fool, it's not worth the damage to your vehicle — State Farm estimates the average cost of collision with a deer is just over $3,300, making it a fools folly to seriously consider hunting with your vehichle.
Bill co-sponsor Representative Dan Zwonitzer says that failure of the house bill means more work for state agencies, which manage the road kill.
It's my strong opinion that this needs to change.
Ethically speaking, we should all be eating roadkill, but practical, culinary and legal considerations make it hard for many to imagine cooking meat that is the result of vehicular accidents, but that needn't be the case. If the roadkill is fresh, perhaps hit on a cold day and ideally a large animal, it is generally as safe as any game. Additionally, not eating roadkill is intensely wasteful: last year, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company estimated that some 1,232,000 deer were hit by cars in the United States. Now imagine that only a third of that meat could be salvaged. That'd be about 20 million pounds of free-range venison. I couldn't find any numbers on elk, antelope or other large game species, but I think it is safe to say that in western states these animals would add considerably to this total.
Having personally hit a deer on an interstate in a snow storm several years ago, I have always regretted not being allowed to harvest the result of the accident. I stopped my vehicle, which incurred damage to both doors on the drivers side. The deer having been hit primarily in the head, was otherwise in pristine condition. Ultimately, I dragged the deer off the road, and sadly, left it to be buried by the next passing snowplow.

Reader: 'A LOT' of Prison Inmates Caused Their Own Health Problems
USP Tucson
Richard Luthmann rluthmann
By Richard Luthmann
In response to an earlier article: FED Poison? Nutrition Expert Says Prison Food Causes Cancer, Toxicity, a reader submitted this comment:
It's a little precious when inmates who never took care of themselves, lived a very high-risk lifestyle, drank to excess, or snorted, smoked, and injected drugs that were trafficked literally in someone's butthole suddenly claim that the same oil that incarcerated humans consume daily is a human rights issue.
And that's not ALL inmates. But it's A LOT of them.
But there are many legitimate concerns about how prisoners are treated.
There is a lot to unpack here.
The first question raised is: "Are "A LOT" of these inmates responsible for their long-term health problems?"
To answer this question, we must consider the question.
Who are Federal Bureau of Prisons inmates?
Who are "they?" What are they "in" for?
Are they drunks and crackheads who ran around killing themselves with chemicals until the Department of Justice saved them via criminal prosecution, as the Commentator insinuates?
The Federal Bureau of Prisons does a good job of providing statistics. Check out the BOP Statistics Webpage. The demographics on the site are usually updated monthly.
What Offenses Land Inmates in Federal Prison?
When you look at the inmate statistics, one thing that pops out at me is what prisoners are there for – Offenses:
BOP statistics show that the vast majority of inmates are in Federal Custody because of guns and drugs.
"Drug Offenses" and "Weapons, Explosives, Arson" convictions account for two-thirds of all Federal Prisoners.
Drugs, Guns, and CHOMOs
Drugs and guns are interrelated. Courts have consistently recognized a strong link between firearms and drug dealing/narcotics trafficking.
In United States v. Mitchell, a Federal Appeals Court said, "the evidence of firearms was admissible as proof of a narcotics conspiracy because drug dealers commonly keep firearms on their premises as tools of the trade."
In United States v. Caggiano, another Federal Appeals Court said the same thing: "Firearms are one of the tools of the trade of drug dealers. Guns, like glassine bags, scales, and cutting equipment, are an expected and usual accessory of the narcotics trade. Any reasonably competent police officer who discovered firearms while searching for drugs would be immediately aware of their evidentiary significance."
This means that once Federal Law Enforcement has a drug dealing/narcotics trafficking prosecutorial target, they can safely dispose of them in federal prison using the "guns" or "drugs" category. And in many cases, the "guns" category is much easier for law enforcement.
The Feds can conduct a raid based on a "tip" and not find any drugs. But if they do find anyone with a prior felony (even a non-violent felony) and a firearm, then the Feds hit paydirt under the so-called "felon in possession" charge of 18 USC § 922(g), which can land you in Federal Custody for up to ten years.
Suppose the Feds find guns and drugs. Even better. The same § 922(c) has mandatory minimums to land you in a Bureau of Prisons facility for at least five years for simple possession.
From my personal experience, I found this to be the case.
While at MDC-Brooklyn, the supermajority of inmates was there for an amalgam of drug and gun charges.
Because I was also at FMC-Devens and LSCI-Allenwood, the other notable cohort is the Sex Offenders or CHOMOs.
The BOP congregates this class of offenders at Low-Security Institutions (because sex offenders cannot go to Minimum Security/Camps) or at Medical Centers under the premise that CHOMOs have an "illness" that can be treated.
Of the released sex offenders who committed another sex crime, 40 percent perpetrated the new offense within one year of their prison discharge. Most children they molested after leaving prison were aged 13 or younger.
So, going back to the Commenter's point, is there any evidence that nearly 80 percent of Federal Prisoners who are there for guns, drugs, or sex offenses "never took care of themselves," "lived a very high-risk lifestyle," or used chemicals to excess? A look at the numbers shows the opposite trend.
What is the Age of Federal Inmates?
BOP Inmate Age statistics show that 63.1% of Federal Inmates are between 31 and 50. Only 5.7% are below the age of 26.
BOP age statistics show a middle-aged prison population.
So the question for the Commentator is: Did all these inmates wake up at age 31, begin living "high-risk lifestyles," and start using excessive chemicals? Is there minimal crime when you are young, and then, at a certain magical age, the criminal goes "off the cliff?"
What happens, especially with drug and gun cases, is that criminals "graduate" into the Feds. The BOP bid is usually not their first prison bid. Most of these prisoners went to prison once or twice in a state correctional system.
And between substantial prison and juvie time, state parole, and regular urine tests, these offenders were not using chemicals to excess before they entered the BOP. The BOP doesn't serve martinis or provide hookers and blow. Very little "high-risk" or excessive illicit chemical use is going on.
CHOMOs also tend to "warm up." Federal law has long mandatory minimums for sex offenders. Many lawyers argue that sex offender laws are overly punitive.
But many states have short minimum terms for first and repeat sex offenders. New York State, for example, has minimum sentences for the most severe sex offenses of three-and-a-half, two, and one-and-a-half years in prison, and even probation.
Why? The trial lawyers lobby for one reason. Trial lawyers can get "repeat business" with relatively short first and second-time sentences on the state level. Once they go Federal, CHOMOs tend to be "one and done," thrown away for a decade at least on average.
And for most sex offenders, the "high-risk lifestyle" is the illicit sexual activity. Except for sexually transmitted diseases, CHOMOs do not exhibit the types of long-term health problems the Commentator insinuates.
Is There Widespread Chemical Use in the Federal Bureau of Prisons?
Prison is a dull place with little to do. If you are a relatively smart inmate, you keep to yourself and a small group. You keep your head down, play cards, read books, stay out of the way, and pass your time. And there was even less to do while I was there under the BOP's Covid-19 Modified Operations.
But not everyone is smart. Inmates involve themselves in stupid shit all the time. And it almost always goes sideways. If your fix is gambling, sex, drugs, or something else, the prison economy usually finds a way to meet your needs if you can pay the price. And if your vices get you into debt, things can get dangerous.
To the extent I saw chemical use, the largest category was the abuse of prescription drugs doled out by the BOP. Prisoners with prescription needs (legitimate or not) would provide prescriptions to other inmates (voluntarily or not), sometimes for value (if you weren't getting shaken down).
The drug of choice was suboxone, which would also come in as contraband because the BOP was very tight on doling it out, even to those with legitimate needs. Excellent reporting from the Marshall Project details the BOP's suboxone horror show.
The most prevalent illicit drug in Federal Prisons is K2 or synthetic marijuana. K2 usually doesn't show up on prison drug tests, while suboxone might. A recent article in Filter by Jimmy Iakovos, the nom de plume of a prisoner in Georgia, gives a realistic picture of the contours of the prison K2 epidemic.
K2 users in prison generally get caught because they "Epp Out" – prison slang for having an episode. There's no telling what a batch of K2 will do. If you smoke a bad batch, you literally lose your mind. And if the guards catch you, it's right to the SHU.
I saw an inmate we called "Black" (a ubiquitous prison name for dark-skinned dudes) smoke some bad shit and proceed to climb to the top of a bunk bed and yell: "Get me the fuck out of here," at the top of his lungs for five minutes in the middle of an open-air dormitory at LSCI-Allenwood.
His cellies tried to calm him down, but it was too late. The guard had already seen him, heard him, and "pushed the button" for backup.
Within 60 seconds, five guards were having a tough time restraining a guy who was 5 foot 2 inches, 130 pounds, soaking wet.
Within 120 seconds, it was a cop convention at the front of our unit. You have to hand it to the prison cops. They have each other's backs.
Black got hog-tied in cuffs on his hands and feet and carried out the unit's front door, belly down, by eight or so officers. He went to the SHU. We never saw Black again. He probably got shipped to another compound with a higher security designation.
The DOJ Knows About Poison
The Department of Justice knows all about K2 and its health effects. They release a Resource Guide, along with the DEA, every year entitled Drugs of Abuse.
The 2022 Edition has this to say about the health effects of K2 on the human body:
According to the DOJ, K2 is a poison introduced into Federal Prisons as contraband by illegal means. Only a small percentage of inmates use K2, and an even smaller number will experience adverse health effects. While disturbing, the aggregate health effects on the prison population are statistically negligible.
On the other hand, seed oil is legally introduced into the Federal Bureau of Prisons Facilities through the BOP National Menu. Every prisoner, to the extent they eat, is forced to consume seed oil, which has long-term carcinogenic and toxic qualities. The aggregate effect of seed oils is substantial.
Additionally, the supply and distribution of seed oils are under the control of the BOP Wardens and Administrators. Unlike K2, they could remove seed oils from Federal Prisons by edict. They did the same thing with whole milk, banished from the National Menu, never to return.
Above, I alluded to the fact that Federal Sentences for sex offenders were generally harsher than state sentences. This is typically true without exception for all classes of crime in the Federal System. And the BOP Statistics on Sentences Imposed are telling:
Most BOP inmates serve sentences of 10+ years.
There are very few "short-term" Federal inmates. According to statistics, 52.2 percent – over half of Federal Inmates – serve ten years or more. Nearly 80 percent serve five years or more.
This means most Federal inmates are "long-haulers," many of whom have been in prison for substantial portions of their life before their current Federal bid.
These inmates are not the drunks and crackheads who ran around killing themselves with chemicals until the DOJ "saved them" via criminal prosecution, consistent with the narrative told by the Commentator.
Do "A LOT" of Inmates Bear the Social Responsibility for Long-Term and Irreparable Harm Caused by Extended Incarceration?
The vast majority of federal inmates, if they are not dependent on the criminal justice system when they get into BOP custody, are dependent a decade later.
Experts have warned for decades that institutionalization or prisonization renders some people dependent on external constraints. They gradually lose the capacity to rely on internal organization and self-imposed personal limits to guide their actions and restrain their conduct.
When this external structure is taken away, severely institutionalized persons may no longer know how to do things on their own or how to refrain from doing those things that are ultimately harmful or self-destructive.
It is not in dispute that long-term incarceration in Federal Prisons has clear, far-reaching, and often irreparable mental health consequences that build up daily during an inmate's extended term of incarceration. It should be a no-brainer that environmental concerns have the same effect.
So, to answer the Commentator, it's not prisoners who are responsible for the daily issues of prison life that, in the aggregate, lead to long-term, irreparable physical and mental health issues. Once the inmate becomes the "property" of the government, it is the government that "owns" the problems.
If anyone is responsible, it is the wardens and administrators in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, if not legally (because civil liability under a deliberate indifference standard is nearly impossible), then from a policy expectation and societal costs perspective.
Can BOP wardens and administrators make small changes in daily inmate life to promote long-term physical and mental health? Of course, they can. The problem is that they are not motivated to do so. Seed oils are a perfect example.
The cost of the front-end modifications is relatively small. It would not take more than a few thousand dollars to make a changeover to healthy shorteners across the board during the BOP's next revision to the National Menu.
As a result, the BOP produces, on aggregate, inmates who, during extended incarceration and upon release, are in worse health than they would otherwise be.
However, the back-end cost of the BOP failing to act now can mushroom into the hundreds of millions. Over a generation, healthcare costs borne by taxpayers for inmates in the prison environment and those released, most of whom remain on public benefits, become astronomically greater.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If we are unwilling to limit future (potentially astronomical) costs by simple, low-cost fixes, we must ask why?
The answer to this question is raised by the Commentator when he talks about what is and isn't a "human rights issue" and admits there are legitimate concerns about how prisoners are treated.
This next point is premised on fairness, which has practical, philosophical, and policy dimensions. I will seek to address some of these in another post.

When you consider how it's possible to improve health and state of mind through inexpensive nutrition, it's impossible not to understand what is going on. Inmates fed a diet of inflammation inducing, vein clogging, gut rotting shit fit only for the nourishment of sizable parasite/bacterial/viral infections.
And most of the inmates are in for drugs and drug/gun related crimes? So legalise ALL drugs. Guns are already legal.
Put them under the control of the Medical authorites as opposed to the police. Tax (especially marijuana) and watch the nation's coffers expand well beyond the cost of dealing with issues around addiction.
Prisons would do well to offer high indica strains of marijuana product to inmates, for the calming and self-reflexive inducing qualities of that drug. so cheap and easy to produce a quality product, as opposed to K2. Solutions are so obvious that persisting in maintaining the status quo as it stands crosses the line from punitive to cruel and unusual.
Why kill by inches when it's possible to rehabilitate and even cure?
You are right Mr. Luthmann, its all about keeping the inmates sick, angry and mentally unstable. Prison Inc.requires a constant flow, a repetitious flow – of its most valuable commodity.
Derek W. Logue says:
Your inane discussion about "chomos" was irrelevant and detracts from whatever point you tried (and failed) to make. In fact, you never came to an actual point. This article was a waste of my time. Your article should be printed on toilet paper.
Richard Luthmann says:
That is the term that is used. You, of all people, should know all about it, given your background and activism.
Do Federal Sex Offenders (CHOMOs, as they are called) generally engage in unhealthy, high-risk behaviors BEFORE going into BOP custody? Does this explain their overall poor health when they leave prison, on average, over ten years later?
Or is it more likely something else? Seed oils? Gamma rays? Hurt feelings?
If I am wrong about the facts, please tell me. If not, go check-in.
Richard-
I was a big time critic of you. You've actually changed. 99.9% people don't change as we both know.
I'm glad an extremely intelligent man like yourself is trying to make a difference. You have the highest probability of success.
Derek's feelings do indeed appear to be hurt. You forced him to read your article. Naughty!
Derick are you a CHOMO?
Why else would you be so offended. I guess CHOMO to you is like the "n".
Ice-nine says:
I wonder which category the Jan 06 insurrectionists fall into because it's about to grow by a lot.
"It is not in dispute that long-term incarceration in Federal Prisons has clear, far-reaching, and often irreparable mental health consequences"
When it comes to the insurrectionists, good. Though I doubt it will have much effect on the 964 miscreants and malefactors that have been arrested thus far. They were born stupid. And according to your essay, within a decade most will return to the BOP where they belong. Also good. I hope the time that they serve is as miserable as you have described it to be.
The trouble is that the federal system isn't built for large-scale mass incarceration, as you described. Much of it is made for the warehousing of human beings.
Most of the violent crimes end up going to the states and state prisons because there is no federal hook or if there is, the Feds aren't interested. The federal system can only handle so much "velocity."
Indeed mass incarceration may be coming—so may a Civil War. 🙄A substantial influx of bodies would collapse the Federal prison system as we know it. They would probably have to bring in the military to run the show. Or they could continue privatizing, which may be what PRISON, INC. is hoping for.
WTF says:
I'm still not buying that seed oils are killing prisoners. Let's say seed oils are indeed bad for you (I'm still not convinced they are worse than many other oils; majority of research seems to say they are not.)
Any idea how much the average prisoner consumes? Is it really that much more than the average mildly health-conscious American takes in? Just about any food can be detrimental to your health if consumed in extreme amounts, but moderate amounts…eh.
How much food preparation requires a shortener?
Every single meal.
The aggregate effect after YEARS is totally foreseeable. Like lead in drinking water.
👍🏼
The US government likes prisons as they are. The powers that he know the "issues" but prefer to use power to dominate, punish and dehumanize those targeted.
There is no due process.
Indictments are as good as a conviction and everyone knows it.
Plea bargains are "legal fiction"— they are lies. They require perjury but if the "defendant" agrees to lie he'll keep a few cents of his savings and get a shorter sentence.
Prisons will not change.
Court corruption will not change.
Abuse of power will destroy the innocent.
It's a war between good and evil. It's coming quickly. I'm praying for a great flood.
I agree to the extent that we are approaching a tipping point.
The more Americans learn about PRISON, INC., the less they like it. It is ripe to be dismantled.
An acquaintance is in prison and he said there are several older men housed there in wheelchairs and in need of 24 hr oxygen tanks.
Why would they keep these men incarcerated with such health conditions? Why wouldn't they be on home confinement?
Until Trump signed the First Step Act in 2018, inmates could not petition the courts for compassionate release. The BOP had that sole power, and they used it about a dozen times a year across the whole federal system.
It was a money maker for the BOP to keep sick prisoners in jail. They get paid for their custody per inmate, and the healthcare costs were covered by government insurance, so it didn't come out of the BOP budget.
Then, PRISON INC. realized they could charge sick prisoners ankle monitor "service fees" to live at home AND take the prisoners off the "BOP Healthcare Plan." The BOP Administrators look like heroes because the cut government healthcare costs for prisoners.
But when the prisoners get to home confinement, where do most get their healthcare? Obamacare. So the taxpayer is still paying. The BOP is just shifting the bill into a different pile.
As for the prisoners, now it's up to judges. And some judges will never let a prisoner out.
I'm guessing that the difference between a Frank Report commenter and a Frank Report commentator is that the Frank Report comentator is more retarded.
Is your comment sophomoric or just stupid? I guess you belong to the group of commentators you created. And your comment is superfluous on top of that. This is the first and the last time I will reply to any of your comments.

Alonza, you have excelled all of the retards. You could start a cult and claim to be the most retarded man in the world. How did Scientology ever let you in is the million dollar question. Sounds like they are not picky. Maybe they rewrote their recruitment rule book. More congratulations on this accolade.
A'boobzo & Everyone!
Extremely important!!!!
A while back a woman whose child has autism requested we no longer use the word "RETARD". I've refrained and will continue to do so. There can be no doubt that the term causes her pain. You should heed her wishes. She's not asking for much.
Your hypocrisy and sanctimonious bullshit continues to amaze me.
You cry foul for cultists who destroy peoples lives, BUT you will not listen to the plea of women whose child suffers from a disease.
You are indeed a sick fuck.
Nah, just a troll. You certainly understand that.

In that case, you should be so busy arguing with your own reflection that the rest of us are spared your commentary.

Single Men 33% More Likely Than Women to Believe in Love at First Sight
C. Price
This is an exclusive study conducted by DatingAdvice.com, which surveyed respondents over the course of three weeks to reflect an accurate representation of the U.S. population.
Despite what Hollywood would have moviegoers believe, it appears single men have a greater overall belief in "love at first sight" than single women.
A new study conducted by DatingAdvice.com found single men were 33 percent more likely than single women to believe they could fall in love with someone after just one look.
Across the board, the results show men were more optimistic about love at first sight than women, regardless of race, marital status, sexuality or age.
Asian males had the highest response, with four out of five answering in the affirmative compared to only one-third of Asian women.
Sixty-eight percent of married men believe in love at first sight, 12 percent higher than married women.
"Men were more optimistic about love at first sight,
regardless of race, marital status, sexuality or age."
Nearly three out of four gay men said they believe in love at first sight, more than double the rate of lesbian respondents.
Clinical psychologist and DatingAdvice.com expert Dr. Wendy Walsh said the findings show men often put more emphasis on appearance than women when looking for a partner.
"This makes total sense as men are more visually wired than women and often make beauty a component of love," she said. "Women, on the other hand, have evolved to look for resource potential in a mate."
The study also found as men grow older, their belief in love at first sight gradually increases. About half of men aged 18 to 24 said they believed in love at first sight, but that number jumps to 72 percent for 35- to 44-year-old men and 70 percent for 45- to 54-year-old men.
Dr. Walsh suggested more men believe in love at first sight as they age because their focus becomes less about sexual pleasure and more about connecting emotionally and mentally with their partner.
"I think men rate 'love' more possible after the age of 45," she said. "Young men tend to be more sexually driven. After the age of 40, their testosterone begins to decline and their estrogen levels increase, making bonding more desired."
The study surveyed 1,080 respondents over the course of three weeks, balancing responses by age, gender, income, race, sexuality and other factors in order to accurately represent the U.S. population. The study has a margin of error of +/- 2.8%.

Middle Passage memorial marker acknowledges Boston's history of slavery

In early October, a memorial marker was installed at the end of Boston's Long Wharf to acknowledge Boston's history of slavery and to honor the Africans who died in and those who survived the transatlantic voyage known as the Middle Passage.
This commemoration has been underway since 2015, when UNESCO named 31 Middle Passage sites around the country. These Sites of Memory included the Boston waterfront. Since then, the National Parks of Boston, Museum of African American History, Middle Passage Ceremonies and Port Markers Project, Boston Art Commission, and former State Rep. Byron Rushing have been at work researching and designing this port marker.
"The Middle Passage Marker signifies the evolution of a free Black community that begins with the arrival of the first documented enslaved Africans on the shores of Boston in 1638," says Museum of African American History President Leon Wilson. "It demonstrates the challenges to people, who by necessity, created their own to establish their spaces to accomplish freedom."
The marker sits at the end of the wharf, overlooking the ocean. On it, visitors can find information about the Middle Passage journey and Boston's complicity in the slave trade. It also notes some of the important African American figures and sites in Boston history. Among them are Phillis Wheatley, the first African American author of a published book of poetry; Prince Hall, an early abolitionist and champion of the back-to-Africa movement, and Paul Cuffee, a whaler and ship captain who became one of the wealthiest African Americans of the late 18th century.
"The Museum's African American Meeting House, built in 1806, is one of the those gathering spaces featured on the marker," says Wilson. "We are proud to acknowledge its completion to honor our ancestors, some lost in the journey across the Atlantic Ocean, and the celebration of those who survived. We are delighted to join with other national ports, the City of Boston, NPS and our collaborative partners in this moment."
The marker serves as a memorial to the millions of African people who were transported against their will between 1619 and 1865 and died on these ships, as well as those that survived and were sold into bondage and the Native Americans in the Boston area that were then sold into slavery in the Caribbean.
Though the project has been years in the making, the port marker installation is particularly timely as Boston turns inward, reflecting on which histories and monuments it should be uplifting.

Restaurants are establishments where romantic dinners are catered as well as corporate meetings and common celebrations. And although there are tons of restaurants in a single city, the possibility that the place will be full during a certain hour of the day is huge. This is the reason why restaurant reservation forms are prepared by the restaurant staff and are presented to their clients to assure that every client will not be left standing and disappointed. This type of document can be used in varying formats such as in doc and in PDF formats which will allow restaurant businesses to cater their online and walk-in clients.
The restaurant reservation template design to be used must be included in the restaurant business plan to assure that his business partners and investors are informed as well as acquire a feedback since every restaurant form must be agreed by every involved party. The template should be created with the consideration of the restaurant's color scheme, logo, and theme for promoting harmony in the business.
Catering to events and occasions are some of the expertise of restaurants, which is why a restaurant reservation confirmation form must be completed by clients who want to have the catering services of the restaurant. Depending on the restaurant management's preferences, the form can be accompanied by other essential documents such as a delivery confirmation form and a service confirmation form. The delivery confirmation is allotted to the staff of the restaurant to determine if the products and other items for the restaurant have been delivered or not. The latter is for distinguishing what services are rendered to the client or to an organization who requested the restaurant's catering services.
Before clients will sign any restaurant reservation form, it is significant that the client will be presented with a restaurant menu and a restaurant proposal. The menu form will inform the client about the varieties of food, drinks, and all other offers of the restaurant along with their associated prices. On the other hand, the proposal form will indicate why the restaurant must be chosen by the client to coordinate their event and celebration compared to the competing restaurants.
Managing a general restaurant business does not only require the owner and his employees to be good at creating dishes but also they must be excellent at assuring that their tables can cater everyone who wants to dine in. Specifically, a restaurant reservation confirmation form is an effective tool for the restaurant staff to assign tables and seats for their clients. With the form, the restaurant can inform their clients if they are already fully booked and if they still have available areas and amenities for their clients to dine with them. You may also see restaurant menu forms.
Some restaurants operate in partnership with hotels and residential establishments wherein discounts and exclusive offers are given as a privilege to whoever rents in a room. With this, restaurant accommodation forms are provided to the hotel guests for them to complete their guest information and allow the restaurant to gather their orders as well as determine the discount amount that they will be receiving. The form also contains the check in and out of the guest which aids the restaurant to be informed if a client is still entitled to the discounts or not. You may also like restaurant operation forms.
As a sort of security and assurance that a client will be paying the price for reserving a table, the restaurant staff will provide a restaurant reservation deposit form that must be signed by the client before his table will be prepared for him. The form contains the type of event that the client is reserving for, the client's deposit amount, his payment confirmation, and information along with the terms and conditions of the restaurant regarding reservation deposits.
Parties are occasions that are celebrated during holiday seasons as well as reunions and birthdays. To formally reserve the restaurant establishment for a party, a client must complete a restaurant party reservation form. The form highlights the preferred date of when the client will be celebrating in the establishment, the number of guests attending the party, the credit card information of the client, and a reservation agreement finalized by the restaurant management.
Compared to the aforementioned restaurant party reservation form, this document is not only applicable for parties but as well as formal events such as seminars, business meetings, and even education training opportunities. A restaurant event reservation form must have the name of the company who will host the event, an identification of the company's representative who will be the person-in-charge in the event, and the company's contact information. Other than the information of the clients, the form also contains the fees for the event, number of dinners, types of meals to be served, the services requested, and the restaurant policies. Once the details and the preferences of the client have been gathered by the restaurant management, a restaurant checklist must be customized which will be reviewed by both the client and the management. The checklist will allow the restaurant to cater every need and necessity of the client as well as assure that nothing is left undone for the event's success. You may also see restaurant legal forms.
Restaurant reservation forms in PDF formats are easier and more secure to be used by any restaurant management especially if this is incorporated into their website. One benefit that the management will obtain from using the form is that it allows them to lock the field items that are allotted only to be used by authorized individuals. With this, the clients will only be able to input their information and choices on the form, not change what is required and stated in the document itself. You may also see sample hotel reservation forms.
Another benefit is that it is printer-friendly since PDF formatted documents are printed without worrying that the fields on the form will be interchanged and its arrangements are destroyed. Nonetheless, the choice of the management regarding what format they will use for their reservation forms highly depend on where and how they will present the document to their varying clients. You may also like sample party reservation forms.
1. Indicate the name and the logo of your restaurant business. These will be placed at the top of the form along with the title of the document which is "Restaurant Reservation Form." You may also see booking confirmation forms.
2. Place a section for the client's general information. This section must cater the client's full legal name, an indication of whether the client is reserving as a company representative or not, the address of the client, and his contact details.
3. Incorporate a section of the reservation details. This includes the date of when the client will be dining in the restaurant, the number of tables that the client will be reserved, the time when the meals will be served, and the name of the event. You may also like restaurant contract forms.
4. Add the menu options for the client to choose. Although there are restaurants who enclose their menu forms, it is always an advantage if the basic menu will be stated to allow the client be informed about what the restaurant can provide for him. In this section, the menu options must be accompanied with checklist boxes and their prices for the client to indicate his choice of dish and drinks. You may also see restaurant tax forms.
5. Indicate a table for computing the cost. This section will focus on determining how much the client will be paying for his choice of dishes, additional tables, and types of services.
6. State the reservation policies of the restaurant. With the terms and conditions, the client will be able to know the minimum number of heads required by the restaurant and the agreement regarding the use of the restaurant's facilities and services. A signature area must then be indicated at the end of the policy statement along with a space for the date of when the reservation was submitted by the client. You may also like hotel receipt forms in PDF.
When making restaurant reservation forms, the management must only focus on the significant information of the client and not on details that are not beneficial for completing the reservation procedure. Another tip to remember is to indicate credit card authorization statements if the management will allow clients who will pay through credit cards and bank transfer. Lastly, if the form is in a portable document file format, the management must connect the input fields to their database for an easier transaction and collection of data. You may also see catering contract form samples.
Aside from restaurant reservation forms, restaurant business owners must prepare other documents such as agreement forms and restaurant evaluation forms. These documents will allow the management to transact a smooth business with their clients as well as acknowledge issues and glitches that need to be resolved. Nevertheless, with the right documents and sufficient information, any event and reservation should be made to satisfy the clients in order for the restaurant management to obtain positive restaurant performance ratings.

Galaxies' spiral arms are formed in sync with their magnetic fields
By Georgina Torbet	 December 15, 2019 10:30AM PST
Magnetic fields in NGC 1086, or M77, are shown as streamlines over a visible light and X-ray composite image of the galaxy from the Hubble Space Telescope, The Nuclear Spectroscopic Array, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. NASA/SOFIA; NASA/JPL-Caltech/Roma Tre Univ
If you've looked at pictures of the Milky Way, you might have wondered how our galaxy formed its long, spiral arms that reach out from its center. Now, astronomers have gained a clue to this development by looking at another galaxy with spiral arms, NGC 1086, which is located 47 million light-years away in the constellation of Cetus.
The new research from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), NASA's flying observatory, suggests that galaxies' magnetic fields play a role in the development of spiral arms. As you can see from the image above, the magnetic fields align with the galaxy's spiral arms, being 24,000 light-years across. Astronomers believe this indicates that the gravitational forces which create the distinctive spiral arms also affect the galaxy's magnetic field.
"Magnetic fields are invisible, but they may influence the evolution of a galaxy," Dr. Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, a Universities Space Research Association scientist at the SOFIA Science Center at NASA's Ames Research Center, said in a statement. "We have a pretty good understanding of how gravity affects galactic structures, but we're just starting to learn the role magnetic fields play."
The arms of the NGC 1086 galaxy are full of dust and gas, which encourages the formation of stars. The areas of intense star formation are known as starbursts. Although the galaxy is similar to our Milky Way in some regards, it also has differences such as a supermassive black hole at its center which is twice as massive as the black hole at the heart of our galaxy.
To gather the data on the magnetic field of this distant galaxy, the astronomers used SOFIA to detect far-infrared light which shows the magnetic field in ways that visible-light telescopes or radio telescopes cannot. This was possible thanks to SOFIA's most recent addition, an instrument called the High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera-Plus, or HAWC+.
"This is the first time we've seen magnetic fields aligned at such large scales with current star birth in the spiral arms," Lopez-Rodriquez said. The research is important for supporting one theory of the formation of galactic arms, called the density wave theory: "It's always exciting to have observational evidence like this from SOFIA that supports theories."
