title: Finding Carter

text:
Finding Carter is an American teen drama television series that aired on MTV for two seasons from July 8, 2014, to December 15, 2015. The series stars Kathryn Prescott as Carter Stevens, a teenage girl whose life is torn apart when she discovers that the woman she thought was her mother, Lori (Milena Govich), had in fact abducted her from her family when she was a young child. Cynthia Watros and Alexis Denisof co-star as her true parents, Elizabeth and David Wilson, along with Anna Jacoby-Heron and Zac Pullam as her siblings, Taylor and Grant Wilson. The first season focuses on Carter's return to the Wilson family and her adjustment within friendships and romances, while the second season explores the true motives behind Lori's abduction of Carter as well as focusing on Carter's struggle to belong and as the relationships between her, Taylor and their social group.

The first season, which consisted of 12 episodes, finished airing in September 2014. A month after its debut, MTV renewed Finding Carter for a second season of an additional 12 episodes, which was later extended to 24 episodes. The network later cancelled the series in January 2016.

Plot
The series follows Carter, a teenage girl who has a perfect life in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with her single mother Lori. After a prank lands Carter in jail, it is revealed that Lori abducted Carter as a child. Now, Carter returns to her original family and she must navigate through her new life while (initially) vowing to be reunited with Lori. However, Carter's mother, Elizabeth, is determined to find Lori and punish the woman responsible for kidnapping her child thirteen years earlier. Meanwhile, Carter's father, David, is secretly writing the sequel to his hit book about Carter's initial disappearance. Along with being reunited with her parents, she meets her goody two-shoes twin sister, Taylor, and ignored younger brother, Grant.

Episodes

Cast

Main
 Kathryn Prescott as Carter Wilson (born Lyndon Wilson, previously Carter Stevens), who was kidnapped at age 3 and is reunited with her birth parents after being arrested. Carter is very rebellious, sneaky and fun-loving. At first she despises Elizabeth for taking her away from Lori, refusing to acknowledge her as her 'mother'. She pulls stunts and different schemes to purposely annoy Elizabeth. However, after realizing the truth of all matters, Carter comes to accept Elizabeth as her mother and learns to deal with her family's chaotic ways.
 Cynthia Watros as Elizabeth Wilson, Carter, Taylor, and Grant's mother and a detective with the Fairfax, VA police department. Elizabeth is very dedicated to finding common ground with Carter, sacrificing much time and resources (often at her family's expense). She was on the brink of divorce before reuniting with Carter, but ultimately decided she wanted her family together for once. She had slept with Kyle extensively before her family found out and forced her to come clean to David.
 Alexis Denisof as David Wilson, Carter, Taylor, and Grant's father and a writer. He is pressured by his agent to write the book 'Finding Carter'. He lies about the book at first, reassuring Carter he would not publish anything or begin writing without her permission. However, he had already completed the memoir before even telling her the truth. He had an affair with Lori Stevens prior to Carter's abduction, revealing to Elizabeth that it was mostly his fault. David later takes a job as a professor at an academy.
 Anna Jacoby-Heron as Taylor Wilson, Carter's fraternal twin sister, and Max's off and on girlfriend. Taylor is extremely intelligent, thoughtful and caring. She often gives Carter advice, eventually resulting in the two becoming very close. She later becomes romantically involved with Max, Carter's ex. They break up when she cannot accept how Max can forgive his former attacker.
 Zac Pullam as Grant Wilson, Carter and Taylor's younger brother. Grant sees himself as the "replacement child", describing this in a way that everyone simply looks over him. He rarely receives attention, making him very impressionable and skeptical. He has an online relationship with a girl he Skypes with regularly.
 Alex Saxon as Max Wagner (season 2; recurring, season 1), Taylor's boyfriend and Carter's best friend that she met while living with Lori. Max is compassionate and understanding, often the one his friends turn to for advice. He had a friends with benefits relationship with Carter before meeting Taylor, later becoming her boyfriend. He had a rather traumatic childhood, witnessing his mother being stabbed by his father when he was young. As a result of this, he does not let hatred build up inside of him; Max forgives Crash for almost taking his life because he wants to spare himself from any additional pain.

Recurring
 Milena Govich as Lori Stevens, who kidnapped Lyndon when she was three and raised her as Carter Stevens. It is revealed in the first episode of season 2 that she was an egg donor for Elizabeth and David, and is Carter and Taylor's biological mother. She is delusional and deeply convinced that she has all parental rights to Carter and Taylor. Lori is deemed insane and sent to a mental institution, later becoming suicidal.
 Vanessa Morgan as Beatrix "Bird" Castro, Carter's best friend. In "Now You See Me" she reveals to Carter she was assaulted by a guy in a mask. Bird's parents are very well-off, and leave her for the most part to raise herself. After her parents skip town, their home is foreclosed on and she is forced to deal with the repercussions. She has a brief relationship with Madison before dating a guy named Seth. After he overdoses and dies, Bird finds out she is pregnant and has an abortion.
 Jesse Henderson as Gabe Medeiros, Carter's friend and Taylor's best friend/former crush. He is the son of Elizabeth's partner, Kyle. Gabe has a one-sided interest in Carter, which she refuses because she thinks Taylor likes him. He lost his mother to brain cancer at a young age; Gabe firmly believes his father loved Elizabeth.
 Jesse Carere as Ofe, Carter's friend and Taylor's former love interest. He was known for selling drugs that Crash supplies. He is crafty and quick-witted, considering himself a ladies' man by his own standards. He was Taylor's love interest, but decides to break up with Taylor in fear that she will break his heart. He leaves for a rehab program soon after.
 Caleb Ruminer as Cameron "Crash" Mason, an ex-juvenile delinquent who was a drug dealer. He is Carter's boyfriend. He was hated by Carter's family initially, giving the wrong impressions when he shot Max in season 1 and eventually ruining his relationship with her. When the two make up later on, and after becoming friends with Max, proving he is reformed, he gets into trouble with his Uncle Shay, causing him out of fear to leave town and enlist in the army.
 Eddie Matos as Kyle Medeiros, Gabe's father and Elizabeth's partner with whom she had an affair before and briefly after Carter was found.

Casting
Casting announcements began in October 2013, with Cynthia Watros first cast in the role of Elizabeth Wilson, a police detective and Carter's biological mother. Shortly after, Kathryn Prescott, Anna Jacoby-Heron, Zac Pullam, and Jesse Henderson were cast in the series. Prescott signed onto the role of Carter Stevens, the confident and mischievous lead, who has a close relationship with the woman she thought was her mother; Jacoby-Heron was chosen for the role of Taylor Wilson, Carter's fraternal twin sister; Pullam was cast as Grant, Carter's somewhat-detached younger brother who was born after her disappearance; and Henderson joined in the role of Gabe, Taylor's close friend who immediately finds himself attracted to Carter. In early November, Alexis Denisof was cast as David Wilson, Carter's father, who found success as a novelist after writing a book about his daughter's disappearance. Milena Govich plays the role of Lori, the woman who abducted Carter when she was three.

title: Sutton Salt Lake

text:
Sutton Salt Lake  in Otago, is New Zealand's only inland salt water lake.  It is located 10 kilometres west of Sutton, in the Strath Taieri.

The lake is filled only by rainwater and dries up during periods of warm weather and little rain. When full, the lake has salinity about one quarter to one third of that of seawater. The salinity is due to marine aerosols in rainwater which is concentrated by around 20000 evaporation and refilling cycles.

Sutton Salt Lake is also unique in that it lies in a region of windy cool-temperate maritime climate. This makes it different from most of the world's saline lakes, which usually form in arid continental landscapes. The total area of the lake, when the shallow depression is filled with rainwater, is nearly two hectares. The nearest coast is 50 kilometers from the lake.

The area around Sutton Lake gets 500 mm of rainfall annually. Coastal hills create a minor barrier to the rain, halving the amount of rainfall that the lake receives. Strong winds increase the lake's surface evaporation rate, which is around 700 mm/year.

title: Bugo

text:
Cristian Bugatti, also known as Bugo (born 2 August 1973 in Rho (MI), Italy), is an Italian singer-songwriter, artist and actor.  He spent his youth in the rice fields of Cerano, in the Province of Novara, in the Piedmont region. A self-taught artist, Bugo did not attend art or music school. In 2000 he moved to Milan, where he started his musical career.
According to AllMusic, Bugo was one of the most interesting and controversial artists to emerge from the Italian independent scene of the 1990s. Although he is beloved by fans and critics, others consider him a comedy act. Blending international sound and Italian lyrics, Bugo became a cantautore (singer-songwriter) of the 2000s who moved the political songs of the 1970s into the disillusioned songwriting of the 2000s. He is considered a pioneer of the Italian singer-songwriter scene, and the neologism fantautore has been coined to describe him.
He participated at the Sanremo Music Festival 2020 and Sanremo Music Festival 2021.

Musical career
In 1992, Bugo left Cerano to serve in the Italian military. During his service, he learned to play the guitar and began writing songs. Bugo's first two albums, La Prima Gratta (2000) and Sentimento Westernato (2001) were released on independent labels. In 2002 he signed with Universal Music Group, and was chosen Artist of the Year.

In October 2002 Bugo released his first album on Universal, Dal Lofai al Cisei. Its first single is "Casalingo" ("Household"), followed by "Io Mi Rompo I Coglioni" ("I Bust My Balls"), and they are among his most popular. In April 2004 Bugo released the double album, Golia & Melchiorre. It is divided in two parts: electric, experimental and intimate, acoustic music. The album cover shows Bugo holding his severed head by the hair like a modern Caravaggio. It was censored by the record company, which placed a picnic-basket sticker over Bugo's face. Its lead single, Carla è Franca ("Carla Is Franca"), was also censored by the music television channels. Bugo's third album for Universal, Sguardo Contemporaneo, was released in April 2006; its single, Amore Mio Infinito ("My Infinite Love"), is a duet with actress Violante Placido.

In 2008 Contatti was released on Universal, bringing Bugo into the mainstream. The album's first single, C'è Crisi ("There's Crisis"), received airplay on national radio. In August 2008, producer-DJ Steve Aoki included "La Mano Mia" (The Bloody Beetroots remix) on a Radio-1 mix for BBC Radio. A video for Felicità ("Happiness") is directed by Federico Vitetta and Ty Evans and produced by Spike Jonze. Bugo performed on the main stage of the 2009 Italia Wave, celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Woodstock, re-interpreting Jimi Hendrix in  Fire.

In 2011 Bugo appeared in and wrote the soundtrack for the film Missione di pace ("Mission of Peace"), which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. That year he released another album on Universal, Nuovi rimedi per la miopia ("New Remedies For Myopia"). In July 2012 The Guardian published an article on current Italian music in Europe, citing Bugo, Jovanotti and Vasco Rossi.

In 2013, before an Italian acoustic tour, Bugo played Comunque io voglio te ("However I Want You") for BalconyTV in New Delhi, an online music channel featuring acts on balconies around the world. In September 2013, director Andrea Caccia (who has filmed Bugo since 2001) announced that he is completing a film about Bugo's music entitled Ora Respiro ("Now I Breathe").

In February 2015 Bugo signed a contract with historic Italian label "Carosello Records" The announcement comes at the same time the inclusion of his face among the 100 of Italian music, the special celebratory by Rolling Stone Magazine, which defines Bugo "the irrepressible revolutionary of the Italian song". In April 2016 Nessuna scala da salire ("No ladder to climb") was released on Carosello, reaching Number 1 position of official vinyl chart. The promotional tour is very successful throughout Italy, with concerts in clubs and prestigious festivals like Primo Maggio in Rome and the Sziget Festival in Budapest.

In 2018 "RockBugo" was released. The album is a collection of Bugo songs rearranged in rock style, following the steps of bands such as Oasis and Nirvana.

He participated at the Sanremo Music Festival 2020 with the song "Sincero", performing with Morgan. The performance caused a big scandal in the Italian news, due to the controversy started by his music partner Morgan, leading the artist to leave the stage during the song.

On 7 February he released a new album entitled Cristian Bugatti. A second single excerpt from the album is "Mi Manca" featuring Ermal Meta. Bugo is selected among the big ones for Sanremo Music Festival 2021.

He participated at the Sanremo Music Festival 2021 with the song "E invece sì". On 5 March he released a new album entitled "Bugatti Cristian".

Visual arts
Between 2008 and 2014, Bugo has been working in the visual arts. In 2010 he held his first exhibition in Rome, displaying 67 people around the gallery's perimeter. Art International Radio, an online radio station based in New York City, interviewed him. In 2012 Bugo participated in MiArt, an international art fair in Milan, exhibiting three photographs of children with beards. He held his second solo exhibition at the Room Gallery, a large photographic installation of the overturned interior of the exhibition space. As part of a 2013 art series on the streets of Ghaziabad, India, Bugo displayed a billboard with a surreal phrase created from newspaper clippings against a red background. More art from newspaper clippings were included in the fourth issue of Le Dictateur, a magazine with twenty series of commissioned works by international artists at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. That year Bugo held his third solo exhibition at Wilson Project Space in Sassari, featuring a large self-portrait. A second self-portrait was displayed at "Art4shop" in September, and a third on the streets of New Delhi during the India Art Fair.

text:
Adult Swim in a Box is a seven-disc DVD box set produced by Williams Street and released by Warner Home Video on October 27, 2009. The box set contains various seasonal volume releases from Adult Swim series, as well as several pilots that were pitched to the network. The box set was first announced by Warner Home Video on July 31, 2009, to be released in October of the same year. The set was promoted as having a roughly threefold value, totaling 21 hours and 20 minutes of content.

An Australian version of Adult Swim in a Box was released in 2011. Critical reception for Adult Swim in a Box was mixed, with some reviewers confused as to the selection of content or recommending fans who have already purchased the shows on the set passing it on.

Release
Adult Swim in a Box was first announced by Warner Home Video on July 31, 2009, to be released on October 27 of the same year. The set was promoted as having a roughly threefold retail value ( or $160 to $69.98), containing "4 of the 5 best selling Adult Swim series." It consists of seven discs, totaling 21 hours and 20 minutes of content. According to the network's now-defunct online shopping site, the set was chosen to harken to the experience of purchasing an entire album "because you knew you liked at least one song."

Contents

 The second season volume release of Aqua Teen Hunger Force
 The third season volume release of Space Ghost Coast to Coast
 The first season volume release of Moral Orel
 The second season volume release of Robot Chicken
 The first season volume release of Metalocalypse

Australian release
A Region 4 version of Adult Swim in a Box released on October 19, 2011. The contents of the Australian release differ from the region 1 release; while still having the pilots DVD and Moral Orel, the first volume releases of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Sealab 2021 are used instead of later volumes.  Robot Chicken and Metalocalypse are not included, and are replaced with season one of Frisky Dingo, and the first volumes of Squidbillies and The Brak Show.

Further collections of Adult Swim shows were released by Madman Entertainment for the Australian market. The Adult Swim Meat Tray Collection consists of six discs containing the first and only season of Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil and the entirety of 12 oz. Mouse and Tom Goes to the Mayor. The set was released on November 28, 2012. The Adult Swim Grab Bag Collection, released on the same day, includes Titan Maximum, Minoriteam, Assy McGee, and Xavier: Renegade Angel.

Critical reception
The box set received mixed critical reception; R.L. Shaffer of IGN was critical in his review of it, calling the release was "a complete waste" and the bonus disc "roughly 80 minutes of mediocre entertainment". He recommended fans purchase "the shows you like instead, and start in the proper place, with the first season." He ultimately gave the release an eight out of ten, however, stating "while this set is certainly well rated" in its content, he could not "find a reason to recommend it". Noel Murray of The A.V. Club expressed confusion over the selection of material, suggesting to the network to release a "straight-up Adult Swim best-of set with rarities". DVD Verdict's Mac McEntire felt the set was not "good enough to warrant you re-buying them all", should buyers already own all six season volume releases. He gave the release an 85 out of 100, remarking the pilots as showing "just how tough it must be to create a pilot, one that not only introduces characters and settings, but also promises a potential for weeks and perhaps years of additional stories."

DVD Talk's Casey Burchby called the release "sloppy", stating that fans who already owned DVD releases from their favorite programming on the network "can safely skip the release", though the set "does fairly represent the insanely creative, off-the-wall nature of the network." Jeff Niesel of the Cleveland Scene found the physical build of the set "a bit flimsy, but that's to be expected for such an affordably priced set." The Austin Chronicle James Renovitch dubbed the release "the anti-box-set" that keeps "with the spirit of Adult Swim", while John Scott Lewinski of Wired called it "a sort of survival kit" for desperate fans of the network. Writing for Filter, Erik Nowlan rated it 90 percent, ensuring fans of Adult Swim will be "in pig heaven" upon its release. Nick Zaino of AOL TV praised the inclusion of Sealab 2021 and Metalocalypse, but called the pilots disc "a mixed bag, but mostly good." PopMatters' W. Scott Poole felt that the selection of series was "odd", stating that while the series included "belong in any selection of Adult Swim bests", so did others, naming The Venture Bros. and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law as deserving candidates that were not included.

title: Criticality (status)

text:
In the operation of a nuclear reactor, criticality is the state in which a nuclear chain reaction is self-sustaining—that is, when reactivity is zero. In supercritical states, reactivity is greater than zero.

Applications

Criticality is the normal operating condition of a nuclear reactor, in which nuclear fuel sustains a fission chain reaction. A reactor achieves criticality (and is said to be critical) when each fission releases a sufficient number of neutrons to sustain an ongoing series of nuclear reactions.

The International Atomic Energy Agency defines the first criticality date as the date when the reactor is made critical for the first time. This is an important milestone in the construction and commissioning of a nuclear power plant.

title: Terrorist Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures

text:
Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) is an essential concept in terrorism and cyber security studies. The role of TTPs in terrorism analysis is to identify individual patterns of behavior of a particular terrorist activity, or a particular terrorist organisation, and to examine and categorize more general tactics and weapons used by a particular terrorist activity, or a particular terrorist organisation.

Requirement to identify individual terrorism TTPs
The current approach to terrorism analysis involves an examination of individual terrorist, or terrorist organisations use of particular weapons, used in specific ways, and different tactics and strategies being exhibited. Broadly, a wide range of TTPs have been exhibited historically by individual terrorist, or terrorist organisations worldwide.

Key concepts

Evolution of TTPs
All terrorists, or terrorist organisations, worldwide historically have exhibited an evolution in TTPs. This can be as a result of:
 changing circumstances;
 resource availability; or,
 changing ideologies, or 'war-focus'.
In the case of the Taliban, their tactics have consisted primarily of guerrilla-style improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and small-arms ambushes against international and state-level security forces and interests, such as police checkpoints and military supply convoys. However, more recently Taliban TTPs have expanded to include mass casualty attacks by suicide bombers and other suicide attacks in order to undermine the current government.

Kill-chain model

The kill-chain model (KCM) is a conceptual tool used in terrorism analysis and studies. All terrorists' or terrorist organisations' TTPs form part of understanding the terrorist kill chain, which is the pattern of transactional activities, link together in order for a terrorist act to take place. Broadly, this involves describing the 'hierarchy of tasks and sub-tasks that may be involved in the execution', or in making a terrorist act happen. These can include the arrangement and sequence of activities a terrorist or terrorist organisation uses in planning, organizing, mobilizing, training, equipping and staging resources and operatives. These activities make up the terrorist or terrorist organisations' modus operandi or 'attack system'.
Four sets of steps make-up the full KCM:
 The first set of activities are the 'attack preparation steps'. In terms of terrorism analysis, individual transactions, such as acquiring finances, acquiring expertise, acquiring materiel, munitions or capability, recruiting members, conducting reconnaissance, mission rehearsal, conducting an attack, have signatures that identify them as terrorist or criminal acts or are consistent with the operations of a specific individual, cell or group.
 The second set of activities are called the 'execution timeline'. This identifies the timeline, along which the terrorist, or terrorist organisations various activities, leading up to an attack process flows time-wise.
 The third set of activities is identified as 'targeting'. An individual or group would carry out some form of dedicated reconnaissance with the aim of identifying weaknesses in the site or operation; and with that information determine the best method of attack.
 The fourth set of activities is identified as the 'planning stages'. These involve some type of planning activity embedded into the ‘kill chain’, and is part of the process of organizing, mobilizing, training, equipping, staging, collecting resources and operatives. These make up the terrorist or terrorist organisations’ modus operandi, or its system of attack.

The KCM "sequence of activities" is not linear, but discontinuous. Three additional KCM scenarios can be identified:
 An individual or group actively promote a terrorist/extremist ideology on the internet, in books, pamphlets, etc. This is then picked up by another terrorist, or terrorist organisations, who then act on this.
 Two or more parallel kill chain sequence of activities (by various individuals/groups) which are only indirectly connected by intermediary individuals/groups. Sharing similar beliefs, but as well cross over into complementary beliefs/ideologies. Many such intermediaries can operate in this space, passing ideas and resources, even recruits between the various terrorist, or terrorist organisations, groups and cells.
 A terrorist or terrorist organisations picks up ideas, knowledge, etc., and jump-start into various places along the ‘standard’ concept of the KCM.

Transfer of Terrorist Tactics, Techniques and Procedures
Terrorist TTPs are often transferred between various terrorists, or terrorist organisations, and they often learn from each other. The degree to which the transfer of TTPs occurs depends on their relative success when transferred to a different conflict, and a different environment.
The similarities in TTPs between various terrorists, or terrorist organisations, across conflicts and periods suggest a transfer of information.
 Explicit Knowledge: This is the theoretical information which is often stored in hard copies, such as textbooks, manuals and on computers through PDF and video files. These are extremely easy to get hold of, but without the appropriate teaching or experience, this easy access information is commonly not effectively used.
 Tactical Knowledge: Most commonly taught or learnt through experience and hands on teaching. This requires training establishments to be organised. For terrorists, or terrorist organisations, acquiring this information is harder, and more difficult; however, it is seen as a more effective transfer of knowledge.

Key tactical concepts related to TTPs
Several key tactical concepts can be related to TTPs, which are typically used in terrorism or insurgency operations.
 Interposing tactics
 Mimicking operations
 Rhizome Manoeuvre
 Three-dimensional (3D) tactics analysis
 Swarming tactics
 Deliberate erratic actions, and erratic attacks
 Dynamic defence

title: Squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung

text:
Squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung is a histologic type of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). It is the second most prevalent type of lung cancer after lung adenocarcinoma and it originates in the bronchi. Its tumor cells are characterized by a squamous appearance, similar to the one observed in epidermal cells. Squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung is strongly associated with tobacco smoking, more than any other forms of NSCLC.

Signs and symptoms
Squamous-cell lung carcinoma share most of the signs and symptoms with other forms of lung cancer. These include worsening cough, including hemoptysis, chest pain, shortness of breath and weight loss. Symptoms may result from local invasion or compression of adjacent thoracic structures such as compression involving the esophagus causing dysphagia, compression involving the laryngeal nerves causing change in voice, or compression involving the superior vena cava causing facial edema. Distant metastases may also cause pain and show symptoms related to other organs.

Causes

Risk factors
Squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung is closely correlated with a history of tobacco smoking, more so than most other types of lung cancer. According to the Nurses' Health Study, the relative risk of SCC is approximately 5.5, both among those with a previous duration of smoking of 1 to 20 years, and those with 20 to 30 years, compared to never-smokers. The relative risk increases to approximately 16 with a previous smoking duration of 30 to 40 years, and approximately 22 with more than 40 years.

Mechanism

Pathogenesis
It most often arises centrally in larger bronchi, and while it often metastasizes to locoregional lymph nodes (particularly the hilar nodes) early in its course, it generally disseminates outside the thorax somewhat later than other major types of lung cancer. Large tumors may undergo central necrosis, resulting in cavitation. A squamous-cell carcinoma is often preceded for years by squamous-cell metaplasia or dysplasia in the respiratory epithelium of the bronchi, which later transforms to carcinoma in situ.

Large scale studies such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) have systematically characterized recurrent somatic alterations likely driving lung squamous-cell carcinoma initiation and development.

Gene mutations and copy number alterations
Squamous-cell lung carcinoma is one of the tumor types with the highest number of mutations since smoking, the main driver of the disease, is a strong mutagenic factor.

Inactivating mutations in lung SCC affect many tumor suppressor genes such as TP53 (mutated in 81% of cases), MLL2 (20%), CDKN2A (15%), KEAP1 (12%) and PTEN (8%). Recurrent loss-of-function mutations have been observed also in NOTCH1 (8%), suggesting a tumor suppressive role in lung SCC for this gene, that has also been implicated as an oncogene in haematological cancers. On the other hand, recurrent gain-of-function mutations have been found in oncogenes such as PIK3CA (16%) and NFE2L2 (15%).

Common oncogene copy number amplifications have been found in SOX2, PDGFRA, EGFR, FGFR1 and CCND1. Deletions were observed in tumor suppressors such as CDKN2A, PTEN and NF1.

Some alterations such as the ones affecting TP53 and CDKN2A are shared by lung SCC and the other most common type of NSCLC, lung adenocarcinoma. Conversely, the two main driver oncogenes of the latter, EGFR and KRAS, are rarely mutated in lung SCC.

Somatically altered pathways
Many of the gene mutations and copy number alterations occur in pathways whose deregulation seems to be important for the initiation and progression of the tumor. Specifically, KEAP1 and NFE2L2 belong to the oxidative stress response pathways; alterations in these genes tend to occur in a mutually exclusive fashion, and therefore this pathway is overall altered in more than 30% of the cases. Similarly, the squamous cell differentiation pathway, whose components include SOX2, TP63 and NOTCH1, is altered in 44% of the tumors.

Alterations in the receptor tyrosine kinase pathway are also common but not as widespread as for the adenocarcinoma type.

RNA expression profiles
Recently, four mRNA expression subtypes (primitive, basal, secretory, and classical) were identified and validated within squamous-cell carcinoma. The primitive subtype correlates with worse patient survival. These subtypes, defined by intrinsic expression differences, provide a possible foundation for improved patient prognosis and research into individualized therapies.

Diagnosis
Early squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung (generally as squamous-cell carcinoma in situ) is asymptomatic and may only appear as an incidental imaging finding on CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging as a lung nodule. Eventually, it becomes symptomatic, usually when the tumor mass begins to obstruct the lumen of a major bronchus, often producing distal atelectasis and infection.

Cytopathology may detect atypical cells from cytologic smear test of sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, or samples from endobronchial brushings.

Histopathology requires at least a lung biopsy. On such exams, these tumors range from well differentiated, showing keratin pearls and cell junctions, to anaplastic, with only minimal residual squamous-cell features.

Classification
The 2015 WHO classification of lung tumors divided squamous cell lung carcinomas into 3 categories: keratinizing, non-keratinizing and basaloid. Keratinizing SCC harbor features of keratinization; non-keratinizing SCC lack such features but show other squamous markers, such as p40 and p63; finally, basaloid SCC is a rare subset of poorly differentiated squamous cell lung carcinoma. Previous variants such as papillary, small-cell and clear-cell SCC were discarded from the current classification as these subtypes are very uncommon. There is no clear evidence of prognostic significance to the subtyping of lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Treatment
Treatment of lung squamous-cell carcinoma depends on many factors including stage, resectability, performance status and genomic alterations acquired by the individual tumor.

Therapy of early-stage SCC mimics that of other histologic types of NSCLC. Early stage (I, II and IIIA) lung SCC are typically resected surgically, and cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiation may be used as an adjuvant therapy following surgery. On the other hand, advanced, metastatic or recurrent lung SCC are given first-line systemic therapy with a palliative (i.e., noncurative) intent consisting of cytotoxic chemotherapy, most commonly a platinum-based doublet. Either cisplatin or carboplatin is used as the platinum backbone.

Development of targeted therapies has been less rapid for lung SCC with respect to adenocarcinoma, as ALK rearrangements and EGFR mutations targetable with receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors are much less frequent in the former compared to the latter.

Immunotherapy is showing promising results for NSCLC, and anti-PD-1 agent nivolumab has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for lung SCC.

Epidemiology
Lung squamous-cell carcinoma is the second most common histologic type of lung cancer after adenocarcinoma, reaching 22.6% of all lung cancer cases as of 2012. The relative incidence of the former has been steadily decreasing in favor of the latter due to the decreasing smoking rates in the last few years.

As much as 91% of lung SCC has been found to be attributable to cigarette smoking. Incidence is greater in men than in women.

title: Brunei–China relations

text:
Brunei and China established formal diplomatic relations in 1991. Brunei has an embassy in Beijing, and China has an embassy in Bandar Seri Begawan.

History

Direct contact between China and Brunei began as early as the 10th century. The claim is evidenced by the archaeological findings of Chinese artefacts at Kampong Limau Manis, Brunei Darussalam. With more than 50,000 ceramic shards dating between the 10th-14th centuries-old having been collected from the Limau Manis site, the discovery proves the indisputable fact that China-Brunei relations have existed for a long time.

In modern times relations are not close since Brunei was a British protectorate, beginning in the 19th century until it gained official independence on 1 January 1984. During this time, there were also various concerns in Brunei particularly toward communism and its sensitivities to the ethnic Chinese population. On 30 September 1991, Brunei became the last member of ASEAN to establish official diplomatic relations with China.

In 2019, Chinese leader and CCP general secretary Xi Jinping visited Brunei. An opinion letter published by the national newspaper, Borneo Bulletin, hailed it as an "exceptional moment" in Brunei–China relations. Finally, China's relations with Brunei would serve to help the country economically. The establishment of Hengyi Petrochemical Complex, the setting up of StarCity Brunei, and other investments into the economy would help to diversify the rentier state further. However, China's growing influence is seen with suspicion by other external powers, such as the US, but Brunei is confident that it sees China as a strong and dependable economic ally and vice versa.

Economic relations
 In 2011, trade between the two countries has increased to U$1.3 billion. The two countries promote practical co-operation in some areas such as infrastructure construction, agriculture and fishery. Some Chinese companies also have agreed to finance two projects in aquaculture and paddy production in Brunei which worth about U$10 million.

The Brunei-Guangxi Economic Corridor was established in 2014, into which approximately US$500 million has been promised. China is the largest foreign investor in Brunei, with investments estimated at US$4.1 billion.

The Chinese Ambassador to Brunei, Yang Hian, described Brunei as an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative. China and Brunei operate Brunei's largest port, Muara Container Terminal, as a joint venture between China's Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port Group and Darussalam Assets Sdn Bhd.

According to Chatham House fellow Bill Hayton, China is pressuring Brunei to allow it more access to Brunei's exclusive economic zone.

title: Los plateados

text:
Los Plateados (The Silverplated) is a 2005 Mexican telenovela co-produced by the Mexican company Argos Comunicación and Telemundo. It stars Mauricio Islas, Tamara Monserrat, Dominika Paleta and Humberto Zurita; and is a historical drama set in Mexico during the time of the Porfiriato and Mexican Revolution and incorporates themes such as justice and equality.
The telenovela is the American adaptation of the Chilean telenovela Los Pincheira, produced in 2004 by TVN Chile.

Plot

This is a historical telenovela with its roots in the beginning of the 20th century beginning with the Porfiriato in Mexico.  The Silverplated are Robinhood bandits whose only mission in life is to fight for justice and avenge their father's unjust death. They steal from the rich to give to the poor.

The main character of the story is Emilio Gallardo (Humberto Zurita)a villain.  Emilio is a wealthy landowner, seducer, and always-winner in life.  But one thing he lacks:  a male son and heir.  The basic conflict of the story is a mystery not revealed until near the end:  That conflict is whether Emilio will ever get his son. (The story might be better entitled, "Emilio quiere hijo." What the audience does not know until near the end is that Emilio is actually sterile; thus he can never accomplish his desired goal.  Emilio is sterile because his mother had him sterilized by a curandera (or witch) as a child.  His mother thought her husband so wicked that his blood line should not be passed on through Emilio.   He is utterly selfish, sadistically cruel, and unfaithful by nature and believes that he can have every woman he wishes for. In order to produce a male heir, he longs to marry a much younger women, the young and beautiful Camila Castañeda (Tamara Monserrat). Unbeknownst to his wife, for years Emilio has had a wild sexual relationship with his amante, her older sister Luciana Castañeda (Dominika Paleta).  And unbeknownst to Emilio, while Camila is putting off Emilio on consummating the marriage sexually, Camila manages to get deflowered by Gabriel soon after she exchanges marriage vows with Emilio.  Eventually, however, Camila lets Emilio have his way with her once, which covers her pregnancy caused by the Robin Hood Gabriel.    Thus Camila gives birth to the male son which Emilio was wanting.  Although Camila does not love Emilio, her mother Ofelia (Wendy de los Cobos) tries to convince her that love will come with time.  Thus this telenovela uses the often used plot line of two sisters in conflict over one man—first Emilio, then Gabriel.

Camila does not even suspect that on the day of her train ride to her wedding with Emilio, she will meet the love of her life Gabriel Campuzano (Mauricio Islas) when he robs the train. Gabriel is the leader of the infamous group of bandits "Los Plateados (The Silverplated), whose members include his younger brothers Tomás Campuzano (Rodrigo Oviedo) and Manuel Campuzano (Juan Carlos Martín del Campo) and their sister Ximena Campuzano (Angélica Celaya). In the first movement of this story, Gabriel is a brave and powerful man who enchants Camila with a single gaze.  Together with his brothers and sister they live hidden in a cave (like Batman); after their father, Sebastian Campuzano, in the pre-history of this telenovela, was unjustly accused of killing a friend and neighboring hacienda owner and was subsequently shot by firing squad.

The Silverplated vow to avenge their father's execution, while robbing from the rich hacienda owners to provide for the poor.  When attacking Emilio's ranch on the day of his wedding, Gabriel kidnaps Emilio's wife to give him a lesson concerning his attitude toward those he considers inferior. Gabriel falls in love with Camila and thus begins the turbulent love story between him and the wife of Emilio Gallardo, the man he holds responsible for his father's unjust killing. Seeking revenge against The Silverplated for kidnapping his wife, Emilio crosses paths with the four Campuzano siblings who are fighting to avenge their father's death; and against a backdrop of hatred, revenge, and prejudices; a revolutionary war breaks out that will test Gabriel and Camila's love for each other -- though the war is fought mostly "offstage" near the end of the story and glossed over.

The plot has 3 movements:  In the opening movement, Gabriel leads Los Plateados in derring-do banditry vs. the rich (like Robin Hood).  In the second movement, Gabriel surrenders himself to Emilio who blackmails him into surrendering to the authorities lest Emilio destroy the innocent.  Then Gabriel becomes a Christ figure, with arms outstretched as if on a cross, put in prison, stabbed, left for dead—when a sort of Mary Magdalene figure appears to raise him from the dead, as it were.    For the 3rd movement:  after getting over his crucifixion (as it were), Gabriel has a second coming to the countryside where Emilio's hacienda is.  But at this point in the story, Gabriel transforms from a heroic bandit to a foppishly dressed (as with lace) country squire, who cannot even beat up Gabriel in a fist fight or outdraw him with a pistol.  In the finale Gabriel appears to be shot to death by Emilio, but it turns out that a "magic brooch" (inherited from Gabriel's father) deflected Emilio's bullet.  At the end Emilio's omnipotent power is finally ended by Gabriel's scoundrel brother, who shoots Emilio in the back with a rifle as Emilio is galloping off to escape on a horse.

title: Pierre Martin House

text:
The Pierre Martin House (or Martin–Boismenue House) is a single-family French Colonial House and historic site in East Carondelet, Illinois about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) East of the Mississippi River.  The house, built circa 1790, is owned by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. and located at the intersection of First Street and Old Route 3 in North Dupo.

Description
The Martin–Boismenue House, built about 1790 by North American frontiersman Pierre Martin in what was at the time the French village of Pierre du Pont, is one of the oldest surviving structures in Illinois.  Although the house was built after the American Bottom had been ceded to the young United States of America, the house reflects the French Colonial architectural traditions of the Mississippi River valley.  The region immediately around Cahokia, Illinois continued to speak French for several decades after the cession.

It is one of six surviving poteaux-sur-sol ('post-on-sill') structures, and the only one owned by an upper-middle-class individual. The poteaux-sur-sol style used vertical logs to construct houses; the style, originally developed in Europe, had faded in popularity before French colonists revived it. Only 33 vertical log buildings remain in the United States; of these, the Pierre Martin House is one of only two with a dressed stone basement.

The traditional French building scheme shares many elements with traditional European half timbering.  Squared-log outer walls support the roof; the logs, squared off by hand-hewing or with a pit saw, rest on a log sill mounted on a stone foundation.  'Galleries,' wide porches, enclose the house's north and south facades.  The house consists of a two-room first floor, a large attic, a half basement, and the two galleries.  There was no shortage of firewood in the Illinois Territory during the house's early history, and the three separate fireplaces were used to heat the home and acted as places for cooking.

The Martin–Boismenue House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 1990, as NRHP site #89002350.  It is located at 2110 1st Street in East Carondelet.

Soundtrack
Soundtrack was composed by Deva and lyrics were written by Kamakodiyan, Kalaikumar, 'Karupur' Ramu and S. P. Rajkumar.

Critical reception
Sr Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote "The director must have taken care to give sufficient reason to get his protagonist involved with another woman, a day before his marriage. But the justification given for this and also for a couple of other reactions, are not acceptable". Chennai Online wrote "The plot did have the potential to make it an engaging entertainer. But the problem is that the director couldn't really decide as to what type of treatment he should give his plot. Whether it should be in the genre of a comedy or a melodrama, of a family sentiment or of a saga of a family feud. So he makes a hotchpotch of the whole thing, and it does not help matters". Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote Vadivelu's comedy is the only thing that makes us sit and watch the film.

title: West Palatinate Way

text:
The West Palatinate Way ( or, officially, Großer Westpfalz-Wanderweg) was a marked footpath that crossed the West Palatinate region in Germany, but is no longer maintained. The concept for this route emerged in 1980 from its sponsor the Association for the Promotion of Tourism in the West Palatinate (Verein zur Förderung des Tourismus in der Westpfalz) and was a cooperative venture between the counties in the West Palatinate, the Palatine Forest Club (a rambling club) and local pubs and restaurants. In 2006 and 2007, overnight bookings fell and, since 2009, the sponsors have no longer taken bookings and maintenance of the footpath and its waymarks has only been carried out in places by the Palatinate Club. The disbandment of the tourist association has also been discussed.

Route
The West Palatinate Way began in the Kaiserslautern district of Hohenecken and ran through Leimen, Hauenstein, Rumbach, Ludwigswinkel, Eppenbrunn and back via Landstuhl, Wolfstein, Rockenhausen, Kirchheimbolanden, Eisenberg and Hochspeyer to Hohenecken.

It was 409 kilometres long overall and thus the longest waymarked circular path in Germany. The path had a cross link between Kaiserslautern and Landstuhl so that it could be split into northern and southern halves.

The Great West Palatinate Way was one of 12 West Palatinate paths that were laid out and maintained by the tourist association.

Waymarking of the route was the responsibility of the Palatine Forest Club. Waymarks on the main route were a stylized white or black W, branches were given signs in other colours.
