Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) show extensive variation in genetic content and allelic polymorphi sms among different populations.
We analyzed the distribution of KIR genes in the Tibetan ethnic minority of Lhasa city, the Uyghur and Kazakh ethnic minorities of Urumqi city populations in China. Genotyping of 16 KIR genes was tested in 479 randomly selected individuals using the multiple PCR-SSP method.
A total of 42 KIR genotypes were detected, of which, 29 were predicted to be AB genotypes, 12 were BB genotypes and one was AA genotypes. 27 KIR genotypes were identified in Kazakhs, 30 KIR genotypes were identified in Uyghurs and 20 KIR genotypes were identified in Tibetans. The predominant genotype 1(AA genotypes) occurred most frequently in Tibetans (52.7%, 118/224), Kazakhs (43.2%, 54/125) and Uyghurs (34.9%, 45/130). Not only the four framework genes were present in all individuals, but the pseudogene 2DP1 could also be detected in all Uyghur individuals. Tibetans were different from Kazakh and Uyghur groups in KIR genetic content and KIR allelic variation. Intriguingly, Tibetans (29.5%, 66/224) had lower frequencies of 2DS4-v when compared with Uyghurs (60.8%, 79/130) and Kazakh s (59.2%, 74/125). Uyghurs (25.4%, 33/130) displayed higher frequencies of Bx genotypes with C4Tx (absence of KIR3DS1-2DL5-2DS5-2DS1) than both Kazakhs (11.2%, 14/125) and Tibetans (3.6%, 8/224).
The study showed that profile of KIR genotypes in three ethnic minority populations in China displayed ethnic diversity. It could be valuable for enriching the ethnical information resources for KIR gene, as well as facilitating further research on KIR-related diseases.
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are a group of glycoproteins expressed on the surface of Natural killer (NK) cells [1, 2]. NK cells are important components of the innate immune system that take part in various immune responses to different infectious agents [3].
KIR genes are located on human chromosome 19q13.4. Up to now, 16 KIR gene loci have been identified, including two pseudogenes (KIR 2DP1 and 3DP1). Four framework KIR genes (2DL4, 3DL2, 3DL3 and 3DP1) exist in almost all populations [4]. Fourteen functional KIR genes have been identified and confirmed, of which seven are inhibitory (KIR2DL1-3, 2DL5 and 3DL1-3) and six are activating (KIR2DS1-5 and 3DS1), with only KIR2DL4 showing both inhibitory and activating potential [1, 5, 21]. According to the numbers and types, KIR haplotypes are broadly classified into two groups: group A haplotypes have a fixed KIR gene (2DL1, 2DL3-4, 3DL1-3, 2DS4, 2DP1 and 3DP1), in contrast, group B haplotypes have variations in genetic content which is comprised of several genes and alleles that are not found in A haplotypes. Especially, KIR2DS1-3, 2DS5, 2DL2, 2DL5 and 3DS1 are associated only with group B haplotypes, thus B haplotypes generally encode more activating KIR receptors than A haplotypes which encode a single activating receptor (KIR2DS4). Both group A and B are present in all populations, but their frequencies vary considerably [1, 6]. Many individuals carry two copies of A haplotypes (AA genotypes). The remainders carry Bx genotypes, which are consisted of either one copy of A haplotype and one copy of B haplotype (AB genotypes) or two copies of B haplotypes (BB genotypes). Based on the presence and absence of two distinct gene clusters (C4, KIR2DS2-2DL2-2DS3-2DL5; T4, KIR3DS1-2DL5-2DS5-2DS1), Bx genotype carries are divided into four subsets: C4Tx (presence of C4 and absence of T4), CxT4 (absence of C4 and presence of T4), C4T4 (presence of both C4 and T4), and CxTx (absence of both C4 and T4) [1, 7, 8].
Usually, Group B haplotypes encode more activating KIR genes. In individuals with AA genotype, the alleles of KIR2DS4 can encode either functional (KIR2DS4-f) or non-functional (KIR2DS4-v) variants [9, 10]. KIR2DS4-v alleles differ from the KIR2DS4-f alleles in that the former have a 22-bp deletion in exon 5, which leads to a frame shift mutation and produces a premature stop codon, preventing the formation of a functional membrane-bound receptor domain [10]. Therefore, individuals with AA genotypes which harbor KIR2DS4-v alleles will not have a membrane-bound KIR2DS4 protein, but rather a soluble form of KIR2DS4. KIR2DS4-f and 2DS4-v frequencies vary amongst different populations. Increasing attention has been paid to the role of KIR genetic content and allelic variation on infectious diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIV, with some studies dedicating a specific focus on KIR 2DS4 [9–14]. KIR gene diversities have been studied in many different geographical populations as previously reported [1, 9, 15–23]. There are 56 ethnic groups in China [24]. Most of the studies on KIR gene diversity have been reported on Han populations in China [18–21]. A large-scale survey on transfusion-transmitted HIV-1/2 infection among Chinese blood donors conducted by our institute showed that the positive rate for HIV infection was higher in some ethnic minorities (including data accumulated at Urumqi Blood Center, Xinjiang) than Han majority donors [25]. Expanding our understanding of the ethnic intermarriage and possibly random demographic factors could help us to determine the variation of KIR gene frequencies, which might be useful for future research on ethnicity-based diseases. Hence, in this study we chose the main minorities in Urumqi city of Northwest China, the Uyghur (comprised 10,069,346 persons [26], presented a typical mixture of Eastern and Western anthropometric traits [27]) and Kazakh (comprised 1,462,588 persons [26]), and the Tibetan (the major ethnic minority in Tibet, comprised 6,282,000 persons [26]), mostly living in Lhasa city of Southwest China, as the research objects. (Additional file 1: Figure S1).
Samples and DNA isolation
A total of 479 randomly selected donors were studied from three ethnic minority populations in China, including Tibetan (N = 224) volunteer blood donors in Lhasa (April 2011 to March 2012), Kazakh (N = 125) and Uyghur (N = 130) volunteer blood donors in Urumqi (March to August 2012). Informed consents of all samples used in this study were approved by the ethical Committee of Institute of Blood Transfusion. Genomic DNA was extracted from PBMC by TIANGEN blood DNA kit (Cat: #DP318-03), following the manufacturer's instructions. The concentration of extracted DNA was adjusted to 50–100 ng/μL, and the O.D. 260/O.D. 280 ratio ranged from 1.6 to 1.9.
KIR PCR-SSP genotyping
KIR genes were typed for the presence or absence of the 14 KIR genes, including KIR2DL1-5, 2DS1-5, 3DL1-3 and the 2 pseudogenes (3DP1 and 2DP1), using multiplex PCR-SSP. In order to ensure accuracy, two different sets of primers for amplification (except 3DP1 and 2DS1) were used while HLA-DRB1 intron amplification primers were added to the third well as a positive control. Primer designs were adopted from those previously reported by Campbell et al. [28]. The primer arrangement was referred in Table 1 PCR master-mix for the multiplex PCR-SSP which contained 3 μL of primer (10 μM) pairs, 1.5 μL of ddH2O, 0.5 μL of DNA, 5 μL of GoTaq green master mix (Promega, Cat: #M7123), for a total of 10 μL. The conditions for PCR cycles were as followed: five cycles at 94°C for 3 min, 94°C for 15 s, 65°C for 15 s, 72°C for 30 s; twenty-one cycles at 94°C for 15 s, 60°C for 15 s, 72°C for 30 s; four cycles at 94°C for 15 s, 55°C for 1 min, 72°C for 2 min; lastly, at 72°C for 7 min and stored at 4°C. PCR products were visualized under UV light after electrophoresis in 3% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide, using DL1000 DNA Marker (TIANGEN, Cat: #MD108).
Table 1 Multiple PCR primers combination pattern
Genotypic frequency = n/N (n represented numbers of positive genotypes and N was the total number of individuals tested). The carrier frequencies (CF) of the KIR genes were determined by dividing the number of positive typing reactions by the total number of typed individuals. The estimated gene frequencies were calculated using the formula GF = 1 − (1 − CF)1/2. The frequencies of A and B haplotypes were calculated using the following formula: group A = 2nAA + nAB/2N and group-B = 2nBB + nAB/2N, where nAA, nAB, and nBB were the numbers of AA, AB and BB genotypes. Differences in the carrier frequencies between the studied population and other populations previously published were assessed by the standard Chi square test (x2) using statistical software PEMS3.1 Medicine, and p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Subsets of KIR genetic content profiles and their frequencies in populations were carried out using statistical software Graph Pad Prism5. Principal components analysis (PCA) of 22 populations [15] was performed using an R package: psych software. Genetic distances were calculated by Nei's method using phylip [29]. On the basis of the Nei's genetic distance, a dendrogram was constructed by the neighbor-joining method [30] and visualized with MEGA software in order to compare the frequencies of KIR genes in 22 populations [15], using bootstrap values are calculated from 100 trees.
KIR genotypes and haplotypes
A total of 479 individuals, 42 genotypes were found to carry a different number and combination of 16 KIR genes (Figure 1), of which, 29 were predicted to be AB genotypes, 12 were predicted to be BB genotypes and one was AA genotype. 27 KIR genotypes were identified in Kazakhs, 30 KIR genotypes were identified in Uyghurs and 20 KIR genotypes were identified in Tibetans. The predominant genotype 1 (AA genotypes) occurred most frequently in Tibetans (52.7%, 118/224), Kazakhs (43.2%, 54/125) and Uyghurs (34.9%, 45/130). Variations in genotypes and haplotypes were significant between the Tibetan and Kazakh/Uyghur groups (Table 2): 3 displayed significant statistical difference between Tibetan and Kazakh populations, 6 displayed significant statistical difference between Tibetan and Uyghur populations, and 2 displayed significant statistical difference between Uyghur and Kazakh populations.
KIR gene content diversity of three Chinese populations, within 479 unrelated individuals, 42 genotypes that differed by the presence (shaded box) and absence (white box) of 16 KIR genes were detected. The frequency of each genotype is presented in percentage frequency (%F) and defined as the number of individuals carrying the genotype (n) divided by the number of individuals studied (N) in the provided population.
Table 2 Comparison of genotypes, haplotypes and linkage groups in Tibetan, Kazakh and Uyghur populations
KIR gene frequency
16 KIR genes were detected in Tibetans, Kazakhs and Uyghurs. The carrier frequency (CF) was listed in Table 3. Four framework genes (2DL4, 3DL2, 3DL3 and pseudogene 3DP1) were present in all individuals. KIR2DL1, 2DL3, 3DL1 and 2DP1 were detected in high frequencies (>90%). Among them, pseudogene 2DP1 can be detected in all individuals of Uyghur. KIR2DL2, 2DL5, 2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS5 and 3DS1 were in low frequencies. In the Uyghurs, the frequencies of KIR2DS4-f and KIR2DS4-v were found to be 62.3% (81/130) and 60.8% (79/130); in the Kazakhs, the frequencies of KIR2DS4-f and KIR2DS4-v were found to be 64.8% (81/125) and 59.2% (74/125); in the Tibetans, the frequencies of KIR2DS4-f and 2DS4-v were found to be 86.6% (194/224) and 29.5% (66/224). Four KIR genes displayed significant statistical difference between the Tibetan and Kazakh populations, eight KIR genes showed significant statistical difference between the Tibetan and Uyghur populations, while no difference was observed between the Kazakh and Uyghur populations (Table 3).

Genetic relationships between populations
The PCA was generated depending on the basis of KIR gene frequencies of the three groups with other previously studied populations (as shown in Additional file 2: Table S1), PC1 and PC2 of 22 populations were given in Additional file 3: Table S2. Different geographic clusters of Asian and European were noted on the PCA plot. The most divergent were the clusters of African, Senegalese and Indian, as they did not cluster in a single group (Figure 2). Tibetans was plotted within the Asian group, the Uyghur was plotted within the European group, while the Kazakh was mapped between Asian and European groups. The neighbor-joining dendrogram was constructed, using the allelic frequency data of 12 KIR loci (KIR2DL1-3, 2DL5, 3DL1, 2DS1-5, 3DS1 and 2DP1) to show a relationship between the three groups and other previously reported populations [15] (Additional file 2: Table S1). In this dendrogram, there were four main clusters (Figure 3): European, African, Asian and Indian cluster. The Uyghur population was located in the European cluster, the Tibetan was located in the Asian cluster, while the Kazakh was located between European and Asian clusters. Genetic distance was shown in Figure 3.
Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted on the carrier frequencies of nine variable KIR genes. The PCA graph which was dependent on the frequencies of carriers with nine variably KIR genes (2DL1-3, 2DS1-4, 3DL1 and 3DS1) showed a worldwide perspective on the relationship between the three groups studied in this paper and other populations. PC1 and PC2 of 22 populations were given in Additional file 3: Table S2.
The neighbor-joining dendrogram represented the genetic distances and was created on the basis of the frequencies of 12 KIR gene (KIR2DL1-3, 2DL5, 3DL1, 2DS1-5, 3DS1 and 2DP1) in order to show the genetic relationship between the three groups and other previously reported populations. The KIR gene frequency of populations was given in Additional file 2: Table S1.
Genetic relationships between three ethnic populations centromeric and telomeric clusters of KIR genes (CxTx)
We found that the three groups carried all four subsets of Bx genotypes (CxT4, C4Tx, C4T4, and CxTx, Figure 1). 55 with the expression of C4Tx genotypes carried three to five activating KIR genes, among them, 49.1% (27/55) carried three activating KIRs and 45.3% (25/55) carried five activating KIRs. 108 with the expression of CxT4 genotypes carried three to six activating KIR genes, among them, 73.2% (79/108) carried four activating KIRs. 1 with the expression of C4T4 genotypes carried six activating KIRs. 73 individuals displaying CxTx carried one to five activating KIRs, among them, 50.7% (37/73) carried two activating KIRs, while 37.0% (27/73) carried four activating KIRs (Figure 1). The Uyghurs (25.4%, 33/130) comprised higher frequencies of Bx genotypes with C4Tx than the Kazakhs (11.2%, 14/125) and Tibetans (3.6%, 8/224, Figure 4).
Subsets of KIR genetic content profiles and their frequency in populations. The frequencies of unique KIR genotype subsets in Tibetan, Kazakh and Uyghur populations were elucidated.
KIR genotypes show extensive variation in populations according to different geographical regions and different ethnic groups, due to the presence or absence of different KIRs in individual haplotypes and allelic polymorphism of KIR genes [17]. In this study, Tibetans were detected to display a lower level of genotypic diversity, with the predominant genotypes ID1 (AA genotypes) [15] and ID2. The cumulative frequency of the top five genotypes 1–4, 6 was 84.8% (190/224), which showed that KIR genotype distribution in Tibetan populations was relatively concentrated. Meantime, Uyghurs and Kazakhs displayed a higher genotypic diversity, with the predominant genotypes ID1. Intriguingly, Uyghur displayed consistency with Caucasians on the level of KIR allelic frequency [9], which comprised high frequencies of Bx genotypes (absence of KIR3DS1-2DL5-2DS5-2DS1), while Tibetans shared a lower frequencies consistent with Northeast Asian (Han Chinese [21], Korean [22] and Japanese [23]). Our data on Kazakhs showed that the KIR allelic frequency is between that of Caucasians and Northeast Asians. Many studies on KIR gene diversity have been reported on Han populations in China [18–21]. Expanding our understanding of ethnic intermarriage and possibly random demographic factors for ethnic minorities could help us to determine the variation of KIR gene frequencies, which might be useful for future research on ethnicity-based diseases.
Activating KIR genes were found to show greater variability in frequencies than inhibitory KIR genes, which was similar to those previously reported in other populations [1]. KIR2DS4 is the only activating gene in AA genotypes, with the other 5 activating genes (KIR2DS1-3, 2DS5 and 3DS1) being absent [5, 21]. In this study, KIR2DS4-v was found to have a higher frequency in Uyghurs and Kazakhs, which was consistent with the frequency in Caucasians [9]. Tibetans had a lower KIR2DS4-v frequency when compared with Kazakhs and Uyghurs, more similar to Asian populations (Han Chinese, Japanese and Koreans) [21–23].
The PCA and the generated dendrogram aligned with the origins of ancestry distributing across vast geographic regions. In our data, the Uyghur was located in the European cluster, showing a similarity to the origins of European Caucasian ancestry. This was consistent with previously report that Uyghur population, settled in Xinjiang, was a population presenting a typical admixture of Eastern and Western anthropometric traits [25]. The Kazakh was between Eastern Asian and European Caucasian groups, demonstrating an array of mixed anthropological features of Europeans and Asians. This could help to further understand the origins of ancestry, the pattern of human migration, the intermarriage between ethnicities and the genetic distances between different populations or ethnic groups.
The KIR gene frequencies of the Tibetan and Uyghur populations were consistent with the geographic and ethnic distribution, while the Kazakhs showed unique genetic content and allelic polymorphisms. Better understanding the ethnic intermarriage and possibly random demographic factors could help determine the factors in the variation of KIR gene frequencies, which could be useful for future research on ethnicity-based diseases.

(10/26 UPDATE: I have censored the few curse words that were in the recap.)
(10/23 NOTE: An earlier version of this post incorrectly said Jeff's show ran "about 70 minutes." I have corrected that to read "2 hours and 13 minutes.")
I was in Manhattan for the second night in a row yesterday. Thursday, I was down in Greenwich Village to see the Chick Corea Elektric Band. Yesterday, I was uptown at Carnegie Hall to see ventriloquist and comedian Jeff Dunham. Pictures weren't allowed during the show, which was part of Jeff's Perfectly Unbalanced Tour, but I took my plenty before and after. I had to use my iPhone 6 because mobile devices were all that were allowed.
This was my fourth time at Carnegie Hall, but the first time in the Stern Auditorium. My previous three trips were to see pianist Lisa Hilton in the intimate Weill Recital Hall.
Jeff Dunham and his crew made their way to Carnegie at around 4:30. Jeff posted live video of the walk to Facebook:
About an hour after that streaming video, I left the house for the Wantagh LIRR station. It was the last day of a warm and humid air mass. Nonetheless, like Thursday night, I wore my green spring squall jacket in case of rain. There was nary a drop; only fog and mist when I returned six hours later. There had been rain earlier in the day, but while I waited for the 5:59 train for Penn Station, Wantagh was in between rain bands. The band to the east must have been intense because there were impressive cumulonimbus clouds:
Low cumulus clouds set in starting in Queens, appearing dark against the setting sun.
There were New York Islanders fans on the train through Jamaica. They changed there for the Atlantic Terminal train to Barclays Center where the Islanders went on to beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2.
The train arrived at Penn Station at 6:55. From there, I took the E train to West 53rd Street and walked four blocks to Carnegie Hall.
Once there, the crowd had to wait until 7:30 for the Stern Auditorium doors to open. After getting a bottle of water, I got to my balcony seat. Trivia, social media posts, and pictures were shown on the monitor:
The ceiling:
There was a welcome announcement at 8:03 following by three intro videos at 8:06. Since they're from Jeff's YouTube channel, I've included them below:
After an auto-tune montage, the show officially began at 8:16. The voice of Achmed the Dead Terrorist announced Jeff and he walked on stage. I looked at him on the monitor most of the time since I was so high up.
I took ten pages of notes in a 7 x 5 notebook. Below are some of those notes. I'll try not to give too much away.
Jeff's opening act:
Informal election vote: Hillary – cheers, Donald – more cheers
Why he's a ventriloquist
Family – daughters, Audrey, twin boys
How Jeff and Audrey found out they were having twins, Jack and James
The twins' birth
Changing diapers in NICU
Baby pictures – meme photo ("I CAME OUT OF YOUR WHAT???"), then actual photos: their first birthday, Jeff holding them like dumbbells, at Disneyland
Left stage, came back
Videotaping show to include message to sons when they're older
After the opening act, it was time to open the boxes and bring out the characters. Walter came first:
"Oh, shut the hell up! (mocking laugh)"
Joke about New Jersey
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? "Uber."
Joke about auditorium appearance
Sick of election garbage – doesn't like either candidate – like going in for colonoscopy
Cut to a video:
Plug for Jeff's YouTube channel – about to reach one million subscribers
Another video:
"You know, folks tell me that I should run for president"
"If Trump becomes president, José'll be out of the show" (a reference to José Jalapeño on a Stick)
Being an older parent
"Say good night, Walter." "Thanks, everybody!"
Before bringing out the next character, Jeff announced that his next special will be taped in Dublin, Ireland, in May for Netflix. It will debut in August. The theme will be family. Jeff found out he is of Irish descent. To that end, a new character he tried out at Carnegie Hall was an Irish baby he was trying to get adopted:
Adult voice with brogue
Influenced by the other characters ("I keel you" from Achmed)
Much smarter than apparent age
Cursing (from Peanut)
Mother gave him up for adoption
Vaccination/shots – "Gin, rum, vodka"
Can't walk, but can pub crawl
"All the drunks just think I'm a leprechaun"
"And that's the new baby!"
Bubba J:
"I'm doin' pretty good!"
"…watchin' NASCAR and drinkin' beer"
Running for president
"Press the flesh"
Debate/da bait, defense/da fence, Syria/Siri
Fracking: "Me and the wife are down to once a month"
"Say good night, Bubba J"
Peanut:
"Dat's goooooooooood!"
(singing): "New York….."
"Two infants at your age, how the hell did that happen?!"
Running gags (toward Jeff, into mic): "'cause you're old", "'cause you're an a**h***", "'cause I'm an a**h***"
Porn riff ("chicka-chicka-wow-wow") – baby-related dirty talk
Caffeine zaniness – "It's great!", "Yes!"
Lost a shoe – "No, dude, I found one"
Peanut fell off and his mouth was stuck open – after a few minutes of incoherent speech ("ahh***"), Jeff closed it
"Jeff-fa-fa"
"Nnnnnnyeow!"
Spoke to two men in the front row
Hearing aid joke (pretending to cut out)
Achmed the Dead Terrorist:
"Most beloved terrorist throughout the world"
Achmed's origin story – tried out Dead Osama a year after 9/11, six blocks from Ground Zero – crowd loved act – retooled as Achmed starting in Spark of Insanity
"Greetings, American infidels!"
Usama Bin Laden is "dead dead"
"Do you know me, infidels?!" – cheers – "Thank you, I keel you (2x)"
"Achhhhhmed"
"It's not funny!"
"Silence! I keel you!" – cheers – "Thank you, I keel you"
Achmed's many kids: "…and Steve"
Life story: "Once upon a time, (boom!). The end."
"Oh! Bomb! Ah!"
Questions: "Dear Achmed…" – by my count, 19 questions – Favorite breakfast cereal: "Life" – Hugh Jorgen (huge organ): "I can't believe you fell for that!" – Legs fell off, then arms, then ribcage
After one last joke, that was it. Since it was over, I resumed photography. There was one last bit of business for Jeff: a crowd selfie with his wife Audrey.
Here's how that selfie looked:
As you can see, balcony members weren't in the picture, but I don't mind.
In all, Jeff was on stage for 2 hours and 13 minutes, leaving the stage at 10:29.
I took a selfie of my own a few minutes later:
Then, I made my way down the stairs, through the lobby, and out the door. Merchandise was available in the lobby:
Rather than walk back to West 53rd Street to take the E train again, I walked to 59th Street-Columbus Circle station.
I took the 1 train back to Penn Station:
I would have taken the 11:08 LIRR train to Wantagh, but there happened to be an 11:01 express train that didn't make local stops until Wantagh. So, I boarded that one. There were some passengers that didn't realize it was an express and had to change at Jamaica for the later, entirely-local train. It only took 43 minutes to get to Wantagh! Now that's what I call express! I wouldn't have arrived until 20 minutes later had I taken 11:08 train.
Thus ended my six-hour adventure. Jeff was hilarious, as always. I wish the show was available on video so I could watch it again and again. My notes and memories will have to do until then.
While I slept, Jeff was live on Facebook as his YouTube channel surpassed one million subscribers!
Congratulations, Jeff, and thank you to fans like me for getting the channel to a million and beyond.
Chick Corea Elektric Band at Blue Note October 21, 2016
Posted by Mike C. in Comedy, Internet, Interviews, Jazz, Media, Music, Personal, Photography, Radio, Travel.
After a month away from the Blue Note Jazz Club in Greenwich Village, I returned last night to see the Chick Corea Elektric Band. It was the first of two shows in two nights. Tonight, I'm going to see ventriloquist and comedian Jeff Dunham in the Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall. Pictures aren't allowed, so that recap will be all words. (10/22 UPDATE: The recap of that show is now up. I was allowed to take pictures before and after, but I was still quite descriptive. Jeff's YouTube videos and social media posts are also included in the recap.)
After the seating issue when I went to see Lee Ritenour in August, I opted for a seat further from the stage last night. It was still cramped, but my table seat was against the wall, which meant I was free to get up to take pictures without getting in anyone's way. It was quite a workout, in addition to the 7.6 miles I ran in the afternoon. I was seated across from Phil, an avid Chick Corea fan from Vancouver, and his wife Kim. They made the time before the show worthwhile.
Now, the backstory: Pianist, keyboardist, and composer Chick Corea turned 75 back in June. In honor of this milestone, Blue Note arranged a two-month celebration/residency, which began Wednesday night with the first of five nights of the Chick Corea Elektric Band. The residency ends with Return to Forever meets Mahavishnu (Orchestra, I assume) from December 8 through 11. That show will combine half of Return to Forever, Chick and drummer Lenny White, along with Mahavishnu John McLaughlin on guitar. Victor Wooten will round out that band on bass.
The Elektric Band featured its definitive lineup, first heard on Light Years, the band's second album, in 1987.
Chick Corea played keyboards:
…and, during the encore, keytar:
Eric Marienthal was on alto sax:
…and soprano sax:
Frank Gambale on guitar:
John Patitucci on bass:
…and Dave Weckl on drums:
The 8:00 set consisted of six songs with extended solos. The songs were:
1. Trance Dance
Originally heard on: Eye of the Beholder, 1988
2. C.T.A. (Miles Davis cover)
Originally heard on: Paint the World, 1993
3. Jocelyn – The Commander
Originally heard on: To the Stars, 2004
4. Beneath the Mask
Originally heard on: Beneath the Mask, 1991
5. Silver Temple
Originally heard on: The Chick Corea Elektric Band, 1986
6 (Encore). Got a Match?
The encore started with an audience call and response intro. Chick would play:
…and the audience would echo:
Then, "Got a Match":
The last note:
After the set, I briefly caught up with drummer Dave Weckl and we posed for a picture:
I had a longer conversation with saxophonist Eric Marienthal, whom I've seen perform many times: with the Rippingtons in 2005, David Benoit in 2006, at Smooth Jazz for Scholars in 2008, solo in 2011, and with the Jeff Lorber Fusion in 2014, my first time at the Blue Note.
Just as we were posing for a picture, bassist John Patitucci walked by and I asked if he could get in, too. He did:
I interviewed both Eric and John on The Mike Chimeri Show over a decade ago. All interviews can be heard here. (Out of self-consciousness, I haven't listened since editing them for air.)
The Chick Corea Elektric Band put on a thrilling show last night. If you'd like to see them and get the same thrill I did, they play at 8:00 and 10:30 tonight, tomorrow night, and Sunday night.
Here is the rest of Chick's residency schedule:
October 26-30: For Miles
November 2-6: Three Quartets, the Leprechaun Band
November 9-10: Experiments in Electronica
November 11-13: Flamenco Heart
November 16-17: Chick Corea Big Band
November 18-20: The Piano Duets
November 22-23: Chick Corea & Gary Burton
November 25-27: Origin II
November 30-December 4: The Music of Return to Forever – Acoustic
December 7: Chick Corea with John McLaughlin
December 8-11: Return to Forever meets Mahavishnu

2016 LIU Post & WCWP Homecoming, 2017 Hall of Fame Announcement October 10, 2016
Posted by Mike C. in Airchecks, Audio, Comedy, Football, Interviews, Jazz, Media, Music, Personal, Photography, Radio, Sports, Travel, Video, Weather.
Other recaps: 2008, 2009, WCWP 50th Anniversary (2011), 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021
Later in this recap, I share the aircheck from my pre-recorded Homecoming Weekend show that aired early yesterday morning. To see and hear my live show on Friday, click here.
After kicking off Homecoming Weekend on Friday, I returned to the campus of LIU Post for Homecoming itself.
On my way to campus, I put on WCWP, whose signal wasn't entirely clear at first, and listened to the Post Pioneers' Homecoming game against the Saint Anselm Hawks. The game had begun moments earlier and it was already 14-0! As my mother turned toward the Abrams Communications Building, where WCWP is located, the Pioneers scored their third touchdown to go ahead 21-0.
When I made my way from WCWP to Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium, all part of my Homecoming Day routine, it was 35-14 with a minute to go in the first half.
Before standing by the gate adjacent to the field, I photographed the carnival rides in the parking lot:
Skies were cloudy and the air was mild and humid. There was spotty drizzle, but not enough to scare me away. (My camera isn't weatherproof.)
Joe Szadok and Jeff Kroll, on the right end of the press box (their left), called the game for WCWP:
The series of pictures below are the touchdown to increase the Pioneers lead to 41-14, followed by the extra point that made the score 42-14:
The Pioneers would go on to rout the Hawks 63-20 (thanks to a missed extra point) and improved their record to 6-0.
On my way back to WCWP, I zoomed my camera lens to 300 mm lens as an Emirates airline jet flew low in its descent toward JFK International Airport:
The spotty drizzle intensified to a light rain shower, so I had to put my camera under my jacket for the rest of the walk back. Except for walks to and from Hillwood Commons for snacks from the vending machine, I didn't leave WCWP until my dad picked me up an hour into Mike Riccio and Bobby G.'s radio show. More on that later.
I was pleasantly surprised to see faces from my early days at WCWP, especially Joe Manfredi, the former director of operations:
Also on hand were Billy Houst and Karen Fiorelli, who took this picture of Joe, him, me, and Jay Mirabile:
Jay is my biggest champion, always propping me up on Facebook, complimenting me and my talents.
John Zoni hosted the halftime and postgame shows:
Bernie Bernard, who once again had a show after the football game, spoke to Jeff and Joe, still in the press box, during the postgame show:
Here's Bernie, moments into her show:
When she wasn't playing music, she played host to a cavalcade of alumni, starting with Bobby Guthenberg, AKA Bobby G.:
Next were Jeff Kroll, fresh from the press box, and Pete Bellotti to announce the 2017 inductees to the WCWP Hall of Fame:
The 2017 inductees are Neil Marks, John LiBretto, and John March.
Jay Elzweig gathered by Jeff and Pete's mic to discuss his history with WCWP and "The Original Hootenanny" show:
Jay resurrected "The Hootenanny" in a show that aired at 4AM yesterday following my show.
Bill Mozer, who had his camcorder and 4-channel portable recorder set up in Studio 2, also spoke briefly. I was diagonal from Bill's setup and shot the pictures you're seeing here from the same spot.
After a few songs, David Kaplan was next to speak:
He invited his daughter Alexa, a student at LIU Post, to join him at the mic.
David and Alexa gave way to more songs, then Roger Luce and Mike Schanzer (AKA Magick Mike Hendryx):
Mike had a solo segment, as well:
Unlike on Friday when he followed me, I followed him in the interview chair (via vidcaps):
Bernie's last aircheck of the show included Jett Lightning and Wolf German, a former student of hers:
Wolf is enthusiastic and affable, and it was a pleasure to meet him. Jett agreed.
Jett stuck around for Mike Riccio and Bobby G., and Bill Mozer checked on his setup:
After the above picture, I packed up the camcorder and tripod and left Studio 2. I came back in for one final shot during Mike and Bobby's phone interview with Chuck Taylor:
As you see, Jay Elzweig stopped by the studio before he left for the night.
When I got home, I edited pictures, selected which to post here and Facebook, and began mixing camcorder video with my recording from the FM tuner and studio board. All the while, I listened to the rest of Mike and Bobby's show, and Bruce Leonard and John Commins after them. Here's the final cut of the video, which I rendered and posted to YouTube yesterday afternoon:
While waiting in Studio 3 for my dad to pull into the parking lot, I had Jeff Kroll take pictures of me with Alana Leider:
…and John Zoni:
Then, I took pictures of Pat Kroll and Lew Scharfberg:
Alan Boritz and Pat Kroll:
Lew Scharfberg, Jeff Kroll, Bruce Leonard:
…and finally, Bill Mozer and Bernie Bernard:
Thus ended a busy day at LIU Post. It's always great to catch up with alumni I know and meet alumni for the first time. It's also great to hear the various shows throughout Homecoming Weekend. "I'm listening to the very end," I wrote in the WCWP Alumni Association Facebook group during Jeff Kroll's 10PM show last night. "You sound great, Jeff."
Here's how Jeff signed off just before midnight:

Until next year, I'll leave you with the aircheck from the prerecorded Instrumental Invasion with Mike Chimeri that aired at 2AM yesterday:

https://mikechimeri.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/instrumental-invasion-with-mike-chimeri-10-9-16-am-fm-stream-transitions.mp3
…and the playlist.
As I noted last week, I recorded the show from home. It sounded great on the web stream, which I was awake to listen to.
2016 WCWP Homecoming Weekend, first few hours October 7, 2016
Posted by Mike C. in Airchecks, Audio, Education, Internet, Jazz, Media, Music, Personal, Photography, Radio, Video.
For the second year in a row, I was the leadoff hitter, so to speak, for the WCWP Homecoming Weekend. Instrumental Invasion with Mike Chimeri kicked things off at noon today.
I left the house just before 9:00 and took the Hicksville-Wantagh Community Shuttle to Hicksville LIRR Station. Once I got there, I had to wait a half hour for the n20H to arrive. I was at LIU Post by 10:15.
Once I got to WCWP, LIU Post's campus radio station, I set up in Studio 2 and took a few pictures:
Eventually, noon came and the show began. After my first aircheck, I had Jeff Kroll take a picture of me at the board:
Jeff and his wife Pat were in the building during my show, as were Bruce Leonard and Magick Mike Hendryx, whose show followed mine.
I took two more pictures during the show:
Overall, I had a great show. There were a few mistakes and flubs, but that always happens in a live broadcast. Here's how I looked and sounded during talk breaks:
https://mikechimeri.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/instrumental-invasion-with-mike-chimeri-10-7-16-airchecks.mp3
And here's how the transitions between songs sounded:
https://mikechimeri.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/instrumental-invasion-with-mike-chimeri-10-7-16-transitions.mp3
Now that you've heard the airchecks, and seen their video equivalent, here's the playlist.
I'll be back at LIU Post and WCWP tomorrow for Homecoming and the announcement of the 2017 class of the WCWP Hall of Fame.
Before we go, here are two pictures from the start of Magick Mike Hendryx's show, engineered by Bruce Leonard, and video of his opening aircheck:
15 years in radio; two shows on WCWP next weekend October 3, 2016
Posted by Mike C. in Airchecks, Education, Internet, Jazz, Media, Music, Personal, Sports.
Wednesday marks 15 years since my first radio show on Webradio WCWP, now known as MyWCWP. The maiden voyage of The Mike Chimeri Show, a contemporary jazz instrumentals show (naturally), embarked at 7PM on Friday, October 5, 2001. The first song I played was "Mountain Dance" by Dave Grusin.
Unfortunately, I didn't think of recording the show for posterity, which I've done for all but one show since, but I did save the playlist:
mcs001
88 shows followed, plus another 95 after 10 months at WGBB.
I miss the days of having a weekly show, which I haven't had since Evening Jazz on 88.1 WCWP in 2010, but I'm proud to have a show each Homecoming Weekend. Like last year, however, I will have two shows on Homecoming Weekend, and at the same times. The shows will bear the name Instrumental Invasion with Mike Chimeri.
The first show kicks off the weekend, live on Friday, October 7, at noon Eastern. I pre-recorded the second show two weeks ago from home and it will air early Sunday, October 9, at 2AM Eastern.
The live show will consist of all but three songs from albums released this year. The other three songs are from last year. Among the artists you'll hear are Chuck Loeb, Yellowjackets, Richard Elliot, and Gerald Albright.
The pre-recorded show is a 50-year music journey, running from 1966 through 2016. Expect to hear Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Chet Atkins, David Benoit, Acoustic Alchemy, and plenty more.
Both shows can be heard locally on 88.1 FM, and worldwide at WCWP.org and on the TuneIn app.
In between, I can be found at LIU Post on Homecoming Day itself – Saturday, October 8. I'll mostly be at the Abrams Communications Building, home of WCWP, but I plan on dropping by the Pioneers' football game against Saint Anselm College, their 2014 Homecoming opponent.
Later in the afternoon, the 2017 class of the WCWP Hall of Fame will be announced. I always look forward to the announcement, and then the ceremony itself each spring.
I hope you'll be listening to WCWP all Homecoming Weekend long. I'm honored to get the ball rolling again this year. Jeff Kroll wraps the weekend up at 10PM on October 9.

Royal Maundy – nabożeństwo odprawiane w Wielkiej Brytanii w Wielki Czwartek z udziałem brytyjskiego monarchy, podczas którego daje on osobom starszym symboliczną jałmużnę.

Przebieg
W nabożeństwie biorą udział osoby starsze z Wielkiej Brytanii. Po nabożeństwie monarcha brytyjski rozdaje starszym kobietom i mężczyznom, wskazanym przez poddanych – monety w nagrodę za prace społeczne. Zarówno kobiet jak i mężczyzn jest tyle, ile monarcha ma lat. Monety są w skórzanych woreczkach o kolorze czerwonym i białym. W woreczku białym są 2 monety o nominale 1, 2, 3, 4 pensów, których wartość równa się wiekowi monarchy. W czerwonym woreczku znajdują się monety okazjonalne, wybite na okazje specjalne (jedna o nominale 5 funtów, a druga 50 pensów). Wizerunek Elżbiety II na monetach rozdawanych podczas jałmużny (tzw. Maundy Money) jest taki jak na monetach z czasu koronacji z 1953 roku, mimo tego że wizerunek Elżbiety II na monetach obiegowych zmieniał się 3 razy.

Nabożeństwo rozpoczyna się czytaniem rozdziału 13 Ewangelii Jana, drugie czytanie zaczerpnięte jest z rozdziału 25 Ewangelii Mateusza opisującego Sąd Ostateczny. Królowa rozdaje połowie zebranym podarunki po pierwszym czytaniu i drugiej połowie po drugim. Podczas rozdawania monet śpiewane są przez lokalny chór 2 pieśni pochwalne na cześć królowej: hymn koronacyjny autorstwa Georga Friedricha Händla Zadok the Priest oraz God Save the Queen. Na koniec trwającego około godziny nabożeństwa królowa wraz z biskupami otrzymuje kwiaty.

Historia
W czasach średniowiecznych istniał zwyczaj obmywania przez monarchę nóg poddanych i obdarowywania ich, jednak obmywania zaniechano w 1688 roku. W XV wieku król Henryk IV ustanowił zasadę, że poddani dostają podarki o wartości wynoszącej tyle samo, ile monarcha ma lat. Uroczystość Royal Maundy miała miejsce zawsze w Opactwie Westminsterskim. Królowa Elżbieta II na początku swojego panowania ustanowiła zasadę, że ceremonia odbywać się będzie w różnych katedrach lub opactwach Anglii.

Od 1952 roku Royal Maundy odbywało się w następujących świątyniach:

Recall, that in one of our previous drawing lessons we shown you how to draw a T-34 Tank, one of the main enemies of the Tiger Tank. And so, how to draw a Tiger tank? Scroll down and learn it right now!
We begin, as always, with the main outlines of the vehicle. In our case, we outline the contours of the body, turret and tracks. All these outlines should be drawn using simple lines.
Please note, that all the angles in this step are straight. Smooth elements are not presented in this step.
Now that the silhouette of the Tiger tank is ready, you can proceed to its details. We begin, as always, with the upper part. Make the necessary lines on the barrel, draw its movable base, firmly fixed on the body of the tower. At the top of tower draw the access hatch.
Look at the tower of the tank. It looks too difficult, but it isn't so. In this step we finish drawing this part of the Tiger, and it will be very easy.
First circle the barrel by straight lines, deleting the extra touches. Draw details on the barrel and the mobile base of the barrel. Then circle the hatch and draw the fine details on the tower.
Draw details of the front of the Tiger tank, or rather, their outline. Then outline the contours of the wings – protective plates which cover the chassis of the tank, ie a caterpillars.
And now circle the spotlights, gun barrel and other components of the front of our tank corps. Note, that they must be drawn properly.
Now circle the wings of Tiger tank. Draw the straight lines, vertically disposed over the entire area of the side wings.
Then draw wheels of the tracks and fix the outlines of the tracks using smooth lines.
Now draw the panels of the tracks. First draw the long horizontal lines, and the short strokes on them. In the same step draw the wheels in details. At the end of the step add shadows to the tracks, using hatching.
Apply very light shadows on the different parts of the Tiger tank, namely the lower side of the barrel, the bottom of the movable base of the barrel and the lower part of the body of the tank.
It was a hard drawing lesson dedicated to how to draw a Tiger tank step by step. If you managed to draw the tank without too much difficulty, you'll enjoy our complicated lessons on how to draw a soldier of the Red Army, how to draw a samurai and how to draw Mercedes S-Class.

[challenge-progress for="Realm of the Elderlings" bg="black" font="white"] [book-info] Progress: Fool's Fate 71% complete. Happy book birthday to Robin Hobb and Fool's Assassin which was published today! The Kindle and Audible version hit my download queues overnight and I had to exercise great strength of will not to dive in immediately but to complete my reread of the Realm of the Elderlings series first. Actually, that reminds me; those of you who have read Fool's Assassin, please would you let me know in the comments if it contains spoilers for the Rainwild Chronicles? Thanks! I was also exceptionally pleased that Fool's Assassin is Whispersync for Voice enabled. Yay! It's one of those services that you don't think you'll need or use, until you have a book/audiobook combo without it. Speaking of audiobooks, after my whining yesterday about the North American version of Fool's Fate not being available until the end of the month I was astounded to find it available on Audible.com today. Mutter, mumble grumble. I wish I'd known that before I bought the UK version. I gave in and completed my collection. I am used to the Audible app and prefer using it to the music app for audiobooks….
[challenge-progress for="Realm of the Elderlings" bg="black" font="white"] [book-info] Progress: Fool's Fate 23% complete. So, onto the final book of my reading challenge, Fool's Fate. The audiobook hasn't been released yet, so the cover art shown is that from the Kindle book. This cover is clearly reminiscent of the date the novel was first released. This first section is pretty depressing. It's all about the Farseer contingent's ship journey to the Outislands and Thick's sheer misery during the voyage. It does highlight Nettle's Skill with dreams and shows the likely way in which she will aid the quest for Icefyre's head. I did feel this section could have been compressed considerably. The politics of the quest are starting to be discussed now. Why did the Narcheska place such a demand on Dutiful? What did she hope to gain? Or is she being manipulated? Of course, I remember the answer to that from my reading years ago! As I'm still shipping Fitz and the Fool, I did love the section where the Fool joins the Skill lesson and connects with Fitz. Definitely more than plumbing!

The bad news about Australia is coming!
Previously, we speculated that Australia would make a big move in 2019 according to the action of the state shutdown. Maybe there would be a major policy adjustment. But before the start of fiscal year 2019-2020 on July 1 this year, the state took the lead in raising the banner of the coup.
1.132 projects in Western Australia: from investing A$1 million to creating one job to creating two jobs; and if we choose to invest in real estate, the investment will increase directly from A$1.5 million to A$2.5 million, a total increase of A$1 million, or about 4.76 million RMB, over the pre-New Deal period.
2. West Australia 188A project: investment increased from A$200,000 to A$300,000; net assets of families or businesses transferred to the state increased from A$850,000 to A$900,000.
3.188A and 188B added the requirement of "Hope applicants to buy a house in Western Australia" when they moved to 888 permanent residence in the later period, which had not been stipulated before.
4. Make new restrictions on business plans!


MOVED: Over 2 years..... I should be ok now right?
Do you have these days?
MOVED: Online peer support groups?
I got Triggered, now I am worrying about getting others infected.
Anyone using Escitalopram for their anxiety?
How do you cope with the foggy brain side effects of ARV?
MOVED: How long did it take you to get over your diagnosis and what is life like after?
A year and a half into this, and BOOM. Depression and hopelessness.
I think I'm being too logical for my own good.
For years Anger was my management..now I'm so depressed..go back to anger?

# JavaScript
This style guide follows the [general](./general.md) format and rules.

This style guide can be implemented using [eslint-config-unicorn-science](https://github.com/justinlettau/eslint-config-unicorn-science).

1. [General](#general)
1. [Naming](#naming)
1. [Formatting](#formatting)
1. [Language Features](#language-features)
1. [Other](#other)

## General

### File Names

**Do** use all lowercase file names with a `.js` extension.

### File Encoding

**Do** encode all files in UTF-8.

### JSDoc

**Do** use [JSDoc](http://usejsdoc.org/) on all all classes, fields, and methods.

## Naming

### Use of Restricted Names

**Avoid** shadowing restricted names.
(eslint: [`no-shadow-restricted-names`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-shadow-restricted-names))

```js
// avoid
let undefined = 'hello';
```

### Renaming Assignments

**Avoid** renaming import, export, and destructured assignments to the same name.
(eslint: [`no-useless-rename`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-useless-rename))

```js
// do
import { config } from './config';
```

```js
// avoid
import { config as config } from './config';
```

### Constructor Names

**Do** begin constructor names with a capital letter.
(eslint: [`new-cap`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/new-cap))

```js

function Animal () {}
var dog = new Animal();
```

```js
// avoid
function animal () {}
var dog = new animal();
```

### Names

**Do** give descriptive names.

**Do** name local variables, packages, methods, and parameters as `lowerCamelCase`.

**Do** name classes and typedef names as `UpperCamelCase`.

**Do** name enums as singular nouns.

**Do** name enums items and constants items as `CONSTANT_CASE`.

**Do** name non-constant field names (static or otherwise) as `lowerCamelCase`.

```js
// do
function myFunction () { }
var myVar = 'hello';
```

```js
// avoid
function my_function () { }
var my_var = 'hello';
```

**Avoid** using abbreviations ambiguous or unfamiliar to readers outside your project, and do not
abbreviate by deleting letters within a word.

**Why?** it's more important to make your code immediately understandable by a new reader.

```js
var priceCountReader;   // no abbreviation
var numErrors;          // "num" is a widespread convention
var numDnsConnections;  // most people know what "DNS" stands for
```

```js
// avoid
var n;                     // meaningless
var nErr;                  // ambiguous abbreviation
var wgcConnections;        // only your group knows what this stands for
var pcReader;              // lots of things can be abbreviated "pc"
var cstmrId;               // eletes internal letters
var kSecondsPerDay;        // do not use Hungarian notation
```

## Formatting

### Quotes

**Do** use single quotes for strings, except to avoid escaping.
(eslint: [`quotes`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/quotes))

```js
// do
console.log('hello world');
```

**Avoid** mixing quoted and unquoted keys.

```js
// avoid
{
  a: 82,
  'b': 83,
}
```

### Multiline Strings

**Avoid** using multiline strings.
(eslint: [`no-multi-str`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-multi-str))

```js
// avoid
const message = 'Hello \
        world';
```

### Semicolons

**Do** always use semicolons.
(eslint: [`semi`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/semi))

```js
// do
window.alert('hi');
```

```js
// avoid
window.alert('hi')
```

### Block Padding

**Avoid** padding within blocks.
(eslint: [`padded-blocks`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/padded-blocks))

```js
// do
if (user) {
  const name = getName();
}
```

```js
// avoid
if (user) {

  const name = getName();

}
```

### Object Properties Newlines

**Do** maintain consistency of newlines between object properties.
(eslint: [`object-property-newline`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-property-newline))

};
```

```js
// avoid
const user = {
  name: 'Jane Doe', age: 30,
  username: 'jdoe86'
};
```

### Function Expression Parentheses

**Avoid** unnecessary parentheses around function expressions.
(eslint: [`no-extra-parens`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-extra-parens))

### Line Wrapping

**Do** wrap code and comments at 80 characters.

**Do** place breaks after the symbol  when a line is broken. This does not apply to the dot (.),
which is not actually an operator. A method or constructor name stays attached to the open
parenthesis (() that follows it. A comma (,) stays attached to the token that precedes it.

```js
// do
this.foo =
  foo(
    firstArg,
    1 + someLongFunctionName()
  );
```

```js
// avoid
this.foo = foo(firstArg, 1 +
  someLongFunctionName());
```

### Function Arguments

**Do** put all function arguments on the same line when doing so would not exceed the 80-column limit.

**Do** put each argument on its own line, indented with four spaces, in a multiline setting.

```js
// do
doSomething(arg1, arg2, arg3);

  veryDescriptiveArgumentNumberOne,
  veryDescriptiveArgumentTwo,
  tableModelEventHandlerProxy,
  artichokeDescriptorAdapterIterator
) {
  // ...
}
```

### Blank Lines

**Avoid** multiple blank lines.
(eslint: [`no-multiple-empty-lines`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-multiple-empty-lines))

```js
// do
var value = 'hello world';
console.log(value);
```

```js
// avoid
var value = 'hello world';

console.log(value);
```

### Variable Declarations

**Do** write each declaration in its own statment.
(eslint: [`one-var`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/one-var))

```js
// do
var silent = true;
var verbose = true;
```

```js
// avoid
var silent = true, verbose = true;

var silent = true,
  verbose = true;
```

### Commas

**Avoid** trailing commas.
(eslint: [`comma-dangle`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/comma-dangle))

```js
// avoid
var obj = {
  message: 'hello',
};
```

**Do** place commas at the end of the current line.
(eslint: [`comma-style`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/comma-style))

  foo: 'foo',
  bar: 'bar'
};
```

```js
// avoid
var obj = {
  foo: 'foo'
  ,bar: 'bar'
};
```

### Dot

**Do** place the dot on the same line as the property.
(eslint: [`dot-location`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/dot-location))

```js
// do
console
  .log('hello');
```

```js
// avoid
console.
  log('hello');
```

### Conditional Assignments

**Do** wrap conditional assignments with additional parentheses.
(eslint: [`no-cond-assign`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-cond-assign))

```js
// do
while ((m = text.match(expr))) {
  // ...
}
```

```js
// avoid
while (m = text.match(expr)) {
  // ...
}
```

### Ending Line

**Do** end all files with a newline.
(elint: [`eol-last`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/eol-last))

## Formatting - Braces

### Braces

**Do** use curly braces.
(eslint: [`curly`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/curly))

```js
// do
if (options.quiet !== true) {
  console.log('done');

```

```js
// avoid

  console.log('done');
```

**Do** keep else statements on the same line as their curly braces.

Houston Texans Sign Another QB, Bring In Joe Webb III
Sean Pendergast April 6, 2018 4:00AM
Joe Webb III is now pay of the Houston Texans' depth chart at quarterback. Screen grab from YouTube
When the Houston Texans signed Brandon Weeden as the backup quarterback last week, the general reaction was "Well, okay....", and then people went back to whatever it was that they were doing. The thought of Weeden as Deshaun Watsons backup is generally underwhelming, a signing that has the "Hey, he KNOWS THE SYSTEM, and he's BEEN IN OUR BUILDING" vibe to it. There's nothing dynamic nor exciting about Brandon Weeden.
On Thursday, the Texans announced that they'd signed Joe Webb III, and while he will never be confused with Deshaun Watson, Webb at least has some athletic elements to his game that threaten a defense. The deal with Webb, 31, is a one year contract for just over $1 million. Texans fans, you may remember Webb from the time he personally murdered Robert Nelson's Texans' career in Week 1 of last year's preseason. Let's take a look...
So with that video digested, let's take a quick, closer look at this signing:
Webb fits the Brian Gaine mantra of versatility
While Webb is listed in the Texans' press release as a quarterback, he has been used in a multitude of ways during his eight-year NFL career, since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2010 draft out of UAB. The Vikings used him as a wide receiver during his first few years in the league, the Panthers had him returning kicks during his three year stint there, and the Bills used him on special teams in 2017, where he ranked third in special teams tackles with eight, and played 278 special teams snaps.
Webb can run more of the "Deshaun Watson" plays than Weeden
As you can see from a couple of plays in the video above, Webb does have the ability to move around in and outside of the pocket. I am one of many who have been clamoring for the Texans to employ a backup quarterback that, at the very least, allows them to continue to use some of the run-pass option and other plays that Deshaun Watson executes so successfully. Webb, who has 326 career rushing yards, fills that bill light years better than Weeden does.
This reduces the chances of the Texans drafting a QB
This signing brings the Texans' QB depth chart to four deep — Deshaun Watson, Brandon Weeden, Joe Webb III, and Taylor Heinicke. Having four quarterbacks under contract reduces the likelihood of the Texans using a draft pick on a developmental quarterback to practically a zero percent chance, in my opinion. More likely, I think they keep both Weeden and Webb as backups to Watson, with Webb's versatility being a key reason he winds up making the team. I think they learned their lesson in cutting Weeden last season that keeping three NFL-ready quarterbacks is a good idea.
