title: Optical Disc Archive

text:
Optical Disc Archive (ODA) is part of Sony's proprietary PetaSite data archival library system.

The Sony PetaSite (Sony CSM-60/100/200 units) was based on SAIT2 & LTO2 linear tape drives, in partnership with IBM from 1998~2012, when it was phased out for optical based media.

Marketed as a longer life and more durable competitor to the popular tape based Linear Open Tape (LTO) storage systems using a similar removable cartridge system, where each cartridge holds 12 optical discs, or 6,420 discs per 42U rack, the first generation were single sided discs and re-writable up to 1.5TB using Sony's well known Professional Disc used in XDCAM cameras and on-site archival.

The generation 3 version of the cartridge, using the Sony, Panasonic jointly developed archival discs (AD) each cartridge has a total capacity of 5.5TB. This uses 11 optical discs, 3 layers on each side, at 500GB per disc, with next generation planned to reach 1TB a disc or 12TB a cartridge.

Each of the internal optical discs is similar to, but not directly compatible with, Blu-ray or Blu-Ray-BDXL systems.

Market
Sony optical archive is marketed as an offline, online, nearline, cold archival and one way data storage solution for broadcasting, education, and legal institutions for long term scaled use and easy digital access.

Unlike tape based media optical discs have a longer cross generation support due to the use of standard 405 nm lasers same as used in current Blu-ray & Blu-Ray BDXL reader/writers rather than tape formulations using high density metal particles bonded to plastic substrates, then reading/writing via magnetic heads that wear down over their operational life, optical discs have a longer life and lower risk of failure due to its humidity proof molding similar to M-Disc as the materials used such as polycarbonate are inert to electromagnetic/gamma/alpha radiation, most chemicals and fluid contaminate will not damage the media either making the format ideal for sudden ecological deasaasters, since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami production of the HDCAM & HDCAM SR master format ceased this caused an broadcast industry panic to switch to file based digital media delivery this overall resulted in a higher demand for reliable backup and digital access to media libraries leading to wide adoption in Japan.

The Optical Archive cartridge system can be used on the desktop, or in scaled networked storage using the PetaSite optical jukebox. The storage jukeboxes take up 7U of standard rackmount space with 30 a cartridge master unit (ODS-L30M) and 60 cartridge (ODS-L60E) and 100 (ODS-L100E) cartridge expansion units for a combined total of 535 cartridges or 6,420 discs per 42U rack, equaling a current 2.9425PB of total storage (Using 5.5TB cartridges).

History and development
In 1996 "PetaSite" was trade marked by Sony Kabushiki Kaisha. (renewed in 2018)

In 2001 "PetaSite was announced to the global market"

In 2004 the CSM60, CSM100, CSM200 with 50~108TB via SAIT2/LTO2 tape cartridges was launched

In 2006 Sony & NEC start a joint venture in Optical Archives and Blu-ray/DVD reader/writer units founding

2009~Current IBM/Sony stop sale of the CSM and SAIT2/LTO2 based systems, still providing service support for existing systems.

In 2012 Optical switchover Sony released their first desktop ODA cartridge readers for consumer/prosumer desktop use (USB 3.0 Type B) during the NAB Show with the first units shipping in February 2013 shifting the PetaSite brand entirely to optical based media.

In 2015 Sony strategically acquired Optical Archive Inc. that was owned by Frank Frankovsky, giving Sony technology for current automatic store and retrieval systems, the foundation of the modular 7U rack-mount based system PetaSite uses today.

In 2020, Sony released the third generation system, with new 5.5TB cartridges and an updated capability to the PetaSite ecosystem alongside desktop readers with USB Type-C 3.2 interfaces.

In 2023, The Sony web site shows all of the ODA drives and PetaSite libraries as discontinued products.

Cartridge Media

Hardware
The PetaSite system, like LTO, consists of reading/writing bays for data access and storage bays for non-active storage.

The PetaSite system has datacenter interconnect systems via Copper (Ethernet 1~10GbE) or Fiber Optical links (SFP+ 10GbE~100GbE) with desktop interfaces using USB 3.2 Gen 2 (20Gbit/s) with 19.5v DC power.

Software
Sony Optical Archive & PetaSite uses a content management software simply called File Manager currently in its second major revision "File Manager 2"

The commercial software suite is built around and uses open-source software primarily Java, Apache Tomcat, and the open source MariaDB.

There has also been 3rd party software support for writing to ODA systems.

Roadmap

Generation 3 of the Optical Disc Archive technology was announced for early-2020 release.  Generation 3 increased the cartridge capacity to 5.5TB, the read speed to 375MB/s and the write speed (with verification on) to 187.5MB/s.

Media roadmap

Sony Corporation and Panasonic Corporation on announced on 10 March 2014 their cooperation in producing a new media trademarked as Archival disc.  The Archival disc media will be used in future Optical Disc Archive Media to achieve at least 12TB of storage.

Fabrication
Fabrication of the optical discs is licensed to TDK but primarily fabricated and developed by Sony & Panasonic.

3rd Party Software Support

The OTA archival system is supported by a few 3rd party media asset management platforms notably Square Box.

title: Chuspas

text:
A chuspas (which is Quechua for bag) is a pouch that is used to carry coca leaves, used primarily in the Andean region of South America. Both textiles and coca are very important to the people in Andean South America. These chuspas are a vital piece of culture and are especially important to combat the bitter cold in the mountainous zones of the Andes. These bags are also a way to showcase the cloth which in itself is a primary artistic medium. Highland textiles are traditionally woven from the hair of native camelids, usually the domesticated alpacas and llamas, and more rarely, wild vicuña and guanaco. These pouches are important symbols of social identity. As part of this tradition, chuspas show to the rest of their people how skilled they are in weaving. They can express their artistic skills and display their cultural affiliation by creating these chuspas.

History
Since the beginning of the first millennium AD, chuspas have been a constant presence in Andean society. Chuspas have endured changing fashions and technologies throughout the years, just like other pieces of fashion. Furthermore, as with other textiles in Andean South America, stylistic differences between chuspas distinguish them as products of particular regions and communities. However, chuspas are unique among Andean textiles because of the substance they hold, coca leaves. Coca leaves were often chewed on to satiate hunger and provide energy.

Long before the Spanish arrived in Peru, Andean artists portrayed people wearing chuspas, especially on pottery vessels.  Between AD1 and 700, the Moche dominated the north coast of Peru, and during that time Moche ceramic artists produced lifelike representations of people, plants, and animals in molded ceramic vessels. Many of these representations depicted people carrying chuspas.

Depictions of chuspas in media have been around since pre-Hispanic times. Chuspas are particularly notable in the seventeenth century line drawings that accompany Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's length description of Inca customs.  Guaman Poma includes chuspas in an extensive variety of contexts, as two individuals share coca during horticulture, in ritual settings, at funerals, in festivals, and in parades.

Written descriptions of Andean chuspas or huallqepos as they are called in Aymara, another widely spoken Andean language, are also remarkably consistent from the Spanish conquest to present. In 1609 Bernabe Cobo wrote that underneath his mantle and over his tunic a man would carry 'a small chuspa which hangs around the neck. It is more or less one span in length and about the same width. This bag hangs down by the waist under the right arm, and the strap from which it hangs passes over the left shoulder." There have been many visual and written representations of chuspas throughout the centuries which demonstrate the ubiquity of chuspas and suggest that coca bags are relatively straight forward and conservative items, but in fact variations are evident in the actual objects that have survived. Surviving chuspas reveal a great deal about the technological and artistic styles evident in the Andes at different periods.

Crafting Chuspas
Chuspas are created using similar tools and techniques involved in making larger items, such as shawls and ponchos. Although the technologies are relatively simple, creating a chuspas can take more than a week, and for a much smaller object.

The crafting process incorporates three basic stages: spinning, weaving, and embellishing. Using a hand spindle, a weaver spins cotton, camelid fiber, or sheep's wool into a thread and then twists or piles two or more spun threads together to strengthen the yarn. When she has spun and piled enough yarn, the weaver turns to her loom. Horizontal ground looms are particularly common in the southern Andes, where most of the chuspas are made. Once the weaver has wrapped the loom by continuously wrapping a length of yarn in a figure-eight around the bars at each end of the loom, she can begin to interlace the weft threads into the warp to create a structure. Although plain weave is the simplest and most common, weavers use a range of more complex weaving techniques in order to achieve the elaborate designs seen in chuspas and other Andean cloth.

Regardless of the technique used, after the weaver is finished, she removes the loom pieces and is left with a four-selvage length of cloth, which is folded in half and stitched along the sides to create the basic bag shape of a chuspa. Although simple stitching is seen in some coca bags, weavers often create a tubular edging to ensure that the sides are more securely held together. This is achieved by extracting either a cross-knit loop stitch or hand-woven edge bindings. When the body of the bag is complete, the weaver adds straps. To finish, the weaver sews on tassels, fringes, beads, and other decorations according to local custom.

title: Henrique Bernardelli

text:
Henrique Bernardelli (15 July 1857 – 6 April 1936) was a Brazilian painter.

Life and Works
Henrique Bernardelli was born in Valparaiso, Chile. He was the brother of sculptor Rodolfo, and painter and violinist Félix.

In 1865 he moved with his family to Rio Grande do Sul when his parents (a violinist and a dancer), were contracted by the emperor Pedro II to be tutors to the imperial princesses. In 1867 they moved to Rio de Janeiro.

In 1870 he enrolled in the Academia Imperial de Belas Artes (AIBA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, studying with painters of outstanding importance such as Victor Meirelles and Agostinho José da Mota. In 1878 he took Brazilian nationality to be eligible for AIBA's European travel award. He lost the award to Rodolfo Amoedo but travelled to Rome in 1879 using his own resources. There he encountered the work of such artists as Francesco Paolo Michetti e Giovanni Segantini.

Back in Rio de Janeiro in 1888 he participated in a number of exhibitions: In 1889 at the Paris Universal Exhibition, where he won a bronze medal with the painting Os Bandeirantes; in 1890 at the General Exhibition of Fine Arts, where he showed the works Dicteriade, Tarantella and Calle de Venezia; and in 1893 at the Chicago Universal Exhibition with Messalina, Mater and Proclamação da República.

In 1891 he became a teacher of painting of the recently inaugurated Escola Nacional de Belas Artes. He kept contact with the Italian figurative culture, constantly travelling to cities such as Rome, Naples and Venice. He taught at the school until replaced by Eliseu Visconti in 1906 when he began to give private lessons in his studio, at the same time receiving private commissions.

His performance as a decorator deserves attention, having worked on the Municipal Theatre in Rio de Janeiro, the National Library and the National Museum of Fine Arts. In 1916 he won one of the highest awards that an artist can aspire to in Brazil: the Medal of Honour. He was also a member of the Superior Council of Fine Arts to which he rendered important services.

A large part of the work of Henrique Bernardelli was donated to the state´s art collection. There is a bust of him with his brother Rodolfo in Praça do Lido, Copacabana, by the sculptor .

title: Sheik Umar Khan

text:
Sheik Umar Khan (6 March 1975 – 29 July 2014) was the chief Sierra Leonean doctor attempting to curb the country's Ebola outbreak in 2014.

The virologist is credited with treating over a hundred patients before succumbing to the virus himself. He was recognized as a "national hero" by Sierra Leone's Health Ministry. Khan had long worked with Lassa fever, a disease that kills over 5,000 a year in Africa. He had expanded his clinic to accept Ebola patients. Sierra Leone's president, Ernest Bai Koroma, celebrated Khan as a "national hero". He had a habit of hugging the cured Ebola patients that were leaving his ward, to lift their spirits.

Khan made contact with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in 2010 when he came to Ghana to do his Residency. He was offered admission into the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons to undertake a 3-year residency training programme in internal medicine. As part of the training, he was posted to the Department of Medicine of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

Death
Khan was very meticulous in donning personal protective equipment as he treated patients. Believing the virus unable to be transmitted in an airborne fashion, he worked fearlessly with Ebola virus patients. Despite observing recommended protocols, Khan was infected by the virus and died on 29 July 2014 in a facility run by Medecins Sans Frontieres. He was not offered a dose of the experimental drug ZMapp though one was available. Sierra Leonean president Ernest Bai Koroma had been due to visit his treatment center the following week.

Awards and honors
 On 18 December 2014, Khan was named one of Nature's 10 "people who mattered" of 2014, along with Maryam Mirzakhani, Radhika Nagpal, and others.
 In 2019, asteroid 6781 Sheikhumarrkhan, discovered by American astronomer Henry E. Holt at Palomar Observatory in 1990, was named in his memory. The official  was published by the Minor Planet Center on 27 August 2019 () and revised on 25 March 2021 ().

title: Julius C. Zeller

text:
Julius Christian Zeller (1871–1938) was an American clergyman of the Methodist church, an educator, and a politician who served in the Mississippi Senate representing Yazoo County.

Early life
Julius Zeller was born in Spring Bay, Illinois in 1871, the son of Dr. John G. Zeller, a well-known physician in central Illinois, and Caroline Winkler Zeller. Zeller's father came to America from Bavaria, Germany about 1851. Zeller had one brother, Dr. George A. Zeller, who became known for his work as the superintendent of the Peoria State Hospital.

Education and career
Zeller attended  the Academy of Northwestern University at Evanston, where he graduated in 1889, in 1893, Zeller graduated with his Bachelor of Oratory and Bachelor of Arts from Grant University.  After completing his bachelor's degree, Zeller was active in ministerial work for the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Zeller received his Bachelor of Divinity from Grant University in 1904. In 1905, Grant University awarded Zeller the M.A. degree for the graduate work Zeller completed at the University of Chicago

Zeller worked in higher education throughout his career. From 1905 until Zeller was elected president of the University of Puget Sound, he acted as the chair of Philosophy and Education at Illinois Wesleyan University From 1909 to 1913, Zeller served as the president of the University of Puget Sound

Zeller later moved to Mississippi, where he served as the superintendent of Bolivar County agricultural schools from 1920 to 1921, as the director of the Summer Normal School in Benton, Mississippi during 1922, and was a member of the State Commissioner on Institutions for Higher Learning during 1926. From 1930 to 1932, Zeller was the dean of men and vice-chancellor of the University of Mississippi, where he was also a professor of philosophy and psychology.

Political Work
As an educator, Zeller served on the Special Committee on the Matter and Methods of Sex Education, which presented their report before the subsection on sex hygiene of the fifteenth international congress on hygiene and demography, which was held in Washington D.C. in September 1912. The Committee reported on proposed propositions related to "normal sex-processes". The propositions were intended to determine the instruction of sex in schools, which were meant to educate students about "the danger of unnatural an unhygienic sex-habits, licentious or irregular sexual indulgence, the dangers of social diseases."  Zeller maintained that all schools, from elementary through high school, should have school physicians, as they can do much of the work of advising students about sexual hygiene. Zeller also reported that "sex hygiene" should be taught to separate classes, by teachers of the same sex as their students. Most educators on the committee agreed with Zeller at the time, though a few proposed joint classes where both male and female students would be present

During his time in Mississippi in the early 1920s, Zeller served as a Senator for Yazoo County. In 1919, Zeller recommended the establishment of a single consolidated state university in Jackson, Mississippi in order to improve the state university system, but the legislature would not pursue his recommendation until eight years later, when it was again proposed by Senator Linton Glover North.

Personal life
Julius Christian Zeller married Alice Bryant in January 1895, and the couple had 9 children together, 7 of which survived into adulthood

title: Francisco Lufinha

text:
Francisco Lufinha (born 9 August 1983, in Lisbon, Portugal), achieved several world records, namely the Fastest Atlantic Kiteboat Crossing (solo) in 2021 and the Longest Journey Kitesurfing (without stops) in 2015. He is a completely passioned by nautical sportsman. Taken aboard a boat by his parents only 15 days after he was born, he was never able nor wanted to let go of the sea again.

At age eleven, he started to compete in the Optimist dinghy class, where he won several regional and national races and ended representing his country at the ’98 Europeans in Split, Croatia. At age 15 he upgraded to the 420 (dinghy) (boats of two persons) where he raced until he was eighteen and won the national overall ranking.

While developing his sailing skills, he was always looking for the most recent extreme sport to try to learn how to do it. Water skiing and wakeboarding were his first choices, then windsurfing and the latest, in 2002, was kitesurfing.

Francisco found in kitesurfing the most complete sport he has ever tried, because it is a mix of his favorite sports. In 2005 he was national champion and in 2006 vice-champion.

Studies and career
In parallel with his sportive life, Francisco graduated from a master's degree in engineering and industrial management at Instituto Superior Técnico in 2007, which lead to jobs as auditing at Deloitte, strategy marketing analyst at BES bank, co-manager of the Portuguese offshore sailor ’s project, CTO at ConsultaClick.com (co-founder), general manager at Dakhla Attitude resort in Morocco, private yacht skipper and manager and in 2014 was co-founder of +Mar (Portuguese association for promoting the nautical tourism and sports) in which he is President, nautical events organizer and speaker at conferences and company private events.

Extreme challenges

Transat 650
From 2009 to 2011, Francisco was co-manager of the solo sailor Francisco Lobato's campaign, in which they have won the extreme Transat 6.50 race from France to Brazil in 2009 and several other races in the Figaro solo sailing class.

Kitesurf Odyssey, 4 extreme challenges between 2013 and 2017
This challenge consisted of kitesurfing from the city of Porto to Lagos, Portugal, covering more than 500 km of the Portuguese coast non-stop. This had never been done before and was an idea that Francisco had in his mind for some years, after sailing the Portuguese coast several times in his family boat or with his sailing expert friend Francisco Lobato. In 2013 he dedicated his time and effort to make this adventure happen and he understood that it could be possible to do it kitesurfing without stops, with a good wind forecast for the entire course.
Francisco trained for this highly demanding challenge that has taken his limits to an extreme test, both physical and mentally.
He made it till the end and kitesurfed 564 km in 28 hours and 53 minutes, always on the board, setting a new world record for longest distance kiteboarding without stops.

EDP Atlantic Mission - Kiteboat world record
In November 2021, Lufinha started his boldest challenge aboard a kiteboat developed by himself, to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Lisbon to Martinica, solo, without any support boat. He reused a fast sailing trimaran with 7,25m by 5,6m wide, removed the sailing rig, built a cabin to live in and adapted kite control technology to be able to go as fast as possible to the other side. He had to stop in La Palma / Canary islands to repair Kites and wait for good wind conditions. He set sail from La Palma on the 30th November 2021 and arrived to Martinica / Caribbean on the 20th December 2021, setting a new world record of 20 days for the fastest atlantic kiteboat crossing solo.

On August 19, Loudwire premiered the video for the album's first single "Mask Machine". Soon after, Classic Rock premiered the song for Europe. On September 22, the entire album began streaming on the Prog magazine website.

Recording and concept
Before the album release, drummer Mike Portnoy said it would benefit from a bigger "chemistry" between members:

The band's experience with Peter Collins was overwhelmingly positive. For Second Nature, the band decided not to work with a producer because they wanted to experiment with working on their own.

According to Portnoy, the album was recorded in a Led Zeppelin-ish way, with the members meeting for a couple of days, then carrying on with their other commitments, then going back to record more parts, and so on. The first writing session happened via Skype conversations.

Bassist Dave LaRue said about the writing sessions: "Everyone brings in ideas, no complete songs. When we like an idea, we start from there and build on it. There are some ideas that get thrown out, others that get completely changed, some that stay pretty much intact. We do try a lot of different ideas within one song. The writing sessions are pretty intense – we move fast, due to the limited amount of time we have".

Guitarist Steve Morse said he encourages his bandmates to bring just ideas for songs, instead of complete tracks, "so that the band sound is on everything". Also, he said the band decided not to "underestimate" their audience and assume they "can handle lots of subtlety, complexity and changes of tempo." All instruments were recorded in each member's personal studio, except for the vocals, which were mostly recorded at keyboardist/vocalist Neal Morse's studio.

The cover for Flying Colors was designed by executive producer Bill Evans. For Second Nature, Portnoy and Evans asked artist Hugh Syme to come up with something with the theme of "Second Nature". Steve Morse described the concept of the cover as follows:

Song themes
The opening track "Open Up Your Eyes" was the first song to be written for the album. McPherson commented that the song is a reflection about life, and how one may not be happy even when have reasons to be.

"Mask Machine" was the first single from the album and received a video. McPherson stated that the song is his favorite and that he personally believes the chorus talks about "the record, in terms of our need to get away from consumerism and telling our boy to cover up who we really are".

"Bombs Away" is about getting involved in business everyday and losing sight of the beauty of life due to being busy.

"The Fury of My Love" was primarily written by Neal, who submitted a demo of the chorus for his bandmates. McPherson was initially afraid that the song could be mistaken as a song about domestic violence, and he describes it as actually covering simply the topic of the passion one feels for another.

"A Place in Your World" received a video, which was premiered at Billboard's website on 10 October 2014. The video consists of the band performing the song altogether in a studio, which Portnoy described as the band's "most natural and comfortable environment". He also said that the song is a good example of the Flying Colors sound: "catchy vocal hooks with clever, tasty musicianship sprinkled on top. It's also a great example of the Flying Colors vocal blend as it features lead vocal turns from all three vocalists (myself, Neal, and Casey) and a chorus that features a three-part harmony with all of us." According to McPherson, the song sees the album once again with existential, reflexive lyrics.

According to McPherson, the original chorus of "Lost Without You" may have been "Cause I'm home" instead of the "Cause I'm Lost" that was actually recorded. He also said the song speaks to the loved ones that he lost in his life.

The Celtic and "almost middle eastern/Indian approach" of "One Love Forever" made McPherson realize "how these tribes around the world have musical similarities that I hadn't really thought about until we did that verse." Steve says he used a style of playing that resembled European folk music.

McPherson describes "Peaceful Harbor" as "the journey of a man to finding a place where we'll find contentment. It's kind of a mix of what it's like to be a man and how we naturally take our journey." Steve adds that it is "about the joy of finding that peace inside after going through a storm or catastrophe". The initial version of the song didn't contain any choir at the outro, but Neal found out about a choir in Nashville and decided to hire them to complete the ending. The vocal melody of the song is reminiscent of their previous tour; it was something McPherson would sing during sound checks and that the band wanted to include in their next album.

"Cosmic Symphony" was written by McPherson towards "the person getting free of the trap of consumerism and how that relates to identity, [...] that person becoming comfortable on his own shoes." He also described the end of the song as a "I'm ok with who I am and I don't need anything else, I don't need to fill myself with things to purchase or to become, in order to describe who I am."

Critical reception
The Prog Report called the album, "one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time" and mentions Open Up Your Eyes as "the band's most powerful track to date" and "prog at its finest."

The Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance, Research and Education Amendments of 2013 (; ) is a United States public law that amends the Public Health Service Act to revise the muscular dystrophy research program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.

Background

The Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance Research and Education Amendments of 2001 ("MD CARE Act", ) amended the Public Health Service Act to provide for research with respect to various forms of muscular dystrophy, including Duchenne, Becker, limb girdle, congenital, facioscapulohumeral, myotonic, oculopharyngeal, distal, and Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophies.

According to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, "since 2001, there have been 67 clinical trials of drugs or therapies for muscular dystrophy, and currently 37 clinical trials are under way."

Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.

The Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance, Research and Education Amendments of 2013 would amend the Public Health Service Act to revise the muscular dystrophy research program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The bill would expand the range of forms of muscular dystrophy included within the program. Requires the research conducted through Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Cooperative Research Centers to include cardiac and pulmonary function research. Requires the Director of NIH to ensure the sharing of data between such centers.

The bill would revise the composition of the Muscular Dystrophy Coordinating Committee (MDCC) to include the Social Security Administration and the United States Administration for Community Living.

The bill would require the MDCC to meet at least two times per year. Requires the MDCC Action Plan to provide for: (1) health economic studies to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of providing independent living resources and support to patients with various forms of muscular dystrophy, (2) studies to determine optimal clinical care interventions for adults with various forms of muscular dystrophy, and (3) the development of clinical interventions to improve the health of adults with various forms of muscular dystrophy.

The bill would require the MDCC to develop a plan to expedite the evaluation and approval of emerging therapies and personalized medicines that have the potential to decrease fatal disease progression across the various forms of muscular dystrophy.

The bill would require the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), in carrying out epidemiological activities regarding Duchenne and other forms of muscular dystrophies, to ensure that data from different racial and ethnic populations is captured and made publicly available to investigators conducting public or private research on muscular dystrophy. Directs the Secretary to foster ongoing engagement and collaboration between the surveillance program and the research centers.

The bill would amend the Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance, Research, and Education Amendments of 2001 to authorize the Secretary to: (1) update and disseminate widely existing Duchenne-Becker muscular dystrophy care considerations for pediatric patients, and (2) develop and disseminate widely Duchenne-Becker muscular dystrophy considerations for adult patients and acute care considerations for all muscular dystrophy populations. Directs that such care considerations should build upon existing efforts currently underway for specified forms of muscular dystrophy and incorporate strategies specifically responding to the findings of the national transitions survey of minority, young adult, and adult communities of muscular dystrophy patients.

Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on July 15, 2014. This is a public domain source.

H.R. 594 would amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize surveillance, research, and education activities relating to muscular dystrophy. The bill would expand the portfolios of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to include additional forms of muscular dystrophy. It also would direct CDC to capture more representative data regarding muscular dystrophy across populations.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that implementing H.R. 594 would cost $323 million over the 2015-2019 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.

H.R. 594 contains no intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

Procedural history
The Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance, Research and Education Amendments of 2013 was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on February 8, 2013, by Rep. Michael C. Burgess (R, TX-26). The bill was referred to the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the United States House Energy Subcommittee on Health. On July 24, 2014, the bill was reported (amended) alongside House Report 113-556. On July 28, 2014, the House passed the bill in a voice vote. The United States Senate voted on September 26, 2014, to pass the bill with unanimous consent. On September 26, 2014, President Barack Obama signed the bill into law and it became .

Debate and discussion
The Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy supported the bill, urging supporters to take action to help them pass the bill. According to the organization, the bill would "update the landmark MD-CARE Act law that has done so much over the past 13 years to extend and improve life for those impacted by Duchenne and other forms of Muscular Dystrophy and to spur breakthroughs in research that we believe are getting us closer to effective therapies and treatments."

The Muscular Dystrophy Association supported the bill, listing the accomplishments since the first law was enacted, but arguing that "a great deal of work still needs to be done, and increased federal support is needed to ensure that researchers can continue making progress toward finding a cure."

title: Carr Clifton

text:
Carr Clifton (born April 17, 1957 in California) is a local American landscape, nature and wilderness photographer. A native Californian living in the northern Sierra Nevada near Taylorsville, California, Carr began photographing and color printing professionally in 1979 after seeking advice and inspiration from his mentor and neighbor, pioneering 20th century master landscape and conservation photographer Philip Hyde. Credits include a US Postal Service stamp of Acadia National Park and numerous exhibit format books. Clifton has spent thirty-five years exploring and documenting endangered, wild landscapes, creating an immense body of work with a large format 4x5 film camera, and more recently a digital camera.

A member of the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), Clifton has worked extensively with local, national and international conservation organizations helping to communicate important conservation objectives. His photographs have appeared in hundreds of conservation publications including Sierra Magazine, Wilderness, The Wilderness Committee, ForestEthics, The Conservation Fund, Ecotrust and the prestigious Cemex Conservation book series. Carr's book, Wild by Law, is the result of his collaboration with Earthjustice (previously Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund) and is a visual documentation of the impact environmental law has made on our nation's institutions and conservation policies.  Collaborating with author Wade Davis and the International League of Conservation Photographers, Carr's most recent project, The Sacred Headwaters, The Fight to Save the Stikine, Skeena and Nass features photographs from Carr and other iLCP photographers, conveying the importance of protecting a unique, fragile and extraordinary ecosystem

title: Copyright law of Georgia

text:
The basic legal instrument governing copyright law in Georgia is the Law on Copyright and Neighboring Rights of June 22, 1999 (Georgian: ) replacing Art. 488–528 of the Georgian Civil Code of 1964. While the old law had followed the Soviet Fundamentals of 1961, the new law is largely influenced by the copyright law of the European Union.

Objects of copyright

According to Art. 5 para. 1 copyright applies to scientific, literary and artistic works, which are the result of intellectual-creative activities.

These works include (Art. 6 para. 1):
literary works (books, brochures, articles, computer program, etc.)
dramatic and dramatic-musical works, choreographic or pantomime works and other theatrical works
musical works with or without text
audiovisual works (cine-, tele-, videofilm, etc.; cf. Art. 15)
sculptural, painting, graphic, lithographic, fine arts and similar works
architectural works
photographic works
maps, plan sketches, etc.
derivative works (in particular, translation, interlines of fiction, adaptation, making a screen version, review, staging, compilation, musical arrangement of literary and art works; cf. Art. 13)
compilation works (in particular, collections like encyclopedias, anthologies, databases, provided that the selection and arrangement of the contents is the result of intellectual creative efforts; cf. Art. 12; publisher's right, Art. 14).

Excluded are (Art. 8):
official documents (laws, decisions of courts, other texts of administrative and normative character), as well as their official translations;
official symbols of state (flag, emblem, anthem, award, monetary symbols, other official signs and symbols of state);
information of events and facts.

Contents of copyright

Copyright comprises the personal moral rights of the author (Art. 17) as well as the economic rights of the author or other holder of copyright (Art. 18, 19). The economic rights of use include the rights on reproduction, distribution, importation, public display, public performance, public transmission, translation and remake (Art. 18 para. 2). In respect of fine art works there is a droit de suite (Art. 20 para. 2).

Holder of copyright; transfer, license, administration

In general, original holder of copyright is the author; exception: works for hire (Art. 16). Registration with the Intellectual Property Center SAKPATENTI or compliance with any other formalities is not required (Art. 9 para. 2), but possible (paras. 3–4).

Upon death copyright is transferred by way of inheritance. The moral rights on authorship, name and inviolability are not transferred by succession, but the legatees have the right to exercise protection of the said rights (Art. 35 para. 3).

The permission on use of the work in a special way is given by copyright contract (Art. 40) granting an exclusive (Art. 37) or simple (Art. 38) license, Art. 36 para. 2.

The copyright holder may transfer his economic rights for administration to an organization administering economic rights on collective basis (Art. 64 para. 2).

Duration of copyright

While certain moral rights are limitless in time (Art. 33), copyright in general is valid during the author's life and further 70 years from his death (p.m.a.; Art. 31, 32).

The person, who after expiration of copyright term, publishes first a work, which was not published earlier, enjoys economic rights (Art. 18 para. 8) during 25 years from the date of lawful publication (Art. 32 para. 6).

Yet after expiration of copyright term a fee may be charged for use of the work within the territory of Georgia (Art. 34 para 2).

Limitation of economic rights

If copies of a work published lawfully are sold, then their further distribution without the author's consent is permitted (Art. 18 para. 4), except for the distribution of certain works by renting (para. 5).
Other limitations of economic rights are defined by Art. 21–28, provided that such limitations do not prevent the normal use of the work and do not damage unreasonably the legal interests of the author or other holder of copyright (Art. 18 para. 9).

Permitted are
reproduction by natural persons for personal purposes (Art. 21; royalty: para. 3)
reproduction by libraries and archives for preservation purposes (Art. 22 subpara. a) or at the request of natural persons for educational, scientific or personal purposes (Art. 22 subpara. b)
reproduction of separate articles, small works or small excerpts by educational institutions for teaching purposes (Art. 22 subpara. c)
reproduction or communication to the public by limited quotation or alike (Art. 23)
reproduction or communication to the public of works permanently disposed in places open to free attendance for non-commercial purposes (Art. 24)
public performance of musical works at ceremonies (Art. 25)
reproduction for court proceedings (Art. 26)
short term recording by broadcasting organizations (Art. 27)
certain uses of computer programs and databases (Art. 28–30).

Neighboring rights

Neighboring rights comprise the rights of performers (Art. 47), phonogram producers (Art. 48), videogram producers (Art. 49) and broadcasting organizations (Art. 50); term: 50 years (Art. 57 paras. 1–4).
Furthermore, the sui generis right of database producers (Art. 54) as common in European jurisdictions is granted; term: 15 years (Art. 57 para. 5) as from any substantial change (para. 6).

Infringement

Infringement of copyright and neighboring rights results in civil liabilities like restoration of the state existing before the infringement, prevention of further infringing actions, reimbursement of the losses (including the neglected profit), confiscation of the income obtained by the infringer or payment of just compensation (Art. 59). Counterfeit copies may be confiscated and destroyed (Art. 60). For interim measures see Art. 61.

Deleting of the electronic information managing the right without the consent of the right's holder is deemed to be infringement (Art. 58 para. 3).

The Pressey X-O test was a psychological test created in 1921 by Sidney L. Pressey.

The test consisted of a list of words. A subject was instructed to cross out the words on this list that they felt had unpleasant meanings. It was meant to measure strength and content of emotional responses.
The test was of both low reliability and validity and guidelines for the interpretation of scores were poor.

title: Lucrezia Sinigaglia

text:
Lucrezia Sinigaglia (born 21 August 1990) is an Italian sabre fencer, team bronze medal in the 2013 European Championships at Zagreb.

Career

Sinigaglia's first sport was swimming, but she never really took to it. She tried fencing at her father's suggestion when she was in her early tens. She first practiced at her local club in Abano Terme. When it closed, she joined Petrarca Scherma in Padova. She won the gold medal both in the individual and the team event at the 2007 Mediterranean Fencing Championships in Syracuse, Sicily and at the 2008 Junior European Championships in Amsterdam.

She joined the national sabre team in the 2012–13 season. She took part in the 2013 European Championships in the team event only. Italy defeated France, but fell against Russia in the semi-finals and fenced Poland in the small final. They prevailed 45–44 despite Poland's being in the lead for most of the match, and came away with a bronze medal.

In the 2013–14 season Sinigaglia reached her best individual result as of 2014 with a quarter-final in the Antalya World Cup. In the European Championships in Strasbourg, she was defeated in the table of 32 by World No.1 Olha Kharlan. In the team event, Italy were defeated in their first match by France and finished sixth. In the World Championships in Kazan, Sinigaglia created an upset in the table of 64 by eliminating reigning Olympic champion Kim Ji-yeon, but yielded to Japan's Mika Kikuchi in the next round. In the team event, Italy stumbled against France in the semi-final. They were overcome by Ukraine in the match for the bronze medal and finished fourth.
