2. Paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to the exercise of disciplinary powers by the competent authorities against national officials or Community officials. In determining the penalty to be imposed, the national criminal courts may, in accordance with the principles of their national law, take into account any disciplinary penalty already imposed on the same person for the same conduct.
Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to allow heads of businesses or any persons having power to take decisions or exercise control within a business to be declared criminally liable in accordance with the principles defined by its national law in cases of corruption, as referred to in Article 3, by a person under their authority acting on behalf of the business.

2. Each Member State shall, when one of its nationals is alleged to have committed in another Member State an offence established in accordance with the obligations arising out of Articles 2, 3 and 4 and it does not extradite that person to that other Member State solely on the ground of his nationality, submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution if appropriate. In order to enable prosecution to take place, the files, information and exhibits relating to the offence shall be transmitted in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 6 of the European Convention on Extradition of 13 December 1957.

2. Where more than one Member State has jurisdiction and has the possibility of viable prosecution of an offence based on the same facts, the Member States involved shall cooperate in deciding which shall prosecute the offender or offenders with a view to centralizing the prosecution in a single Member States where possible.
1. Member States shall apply, in their national criminal laws, the ne bis in idem rule, under which a person whose trial has been finally disposed of in a Member State may not be prosecuted in another Member State in respect of the same facts, provided that if a penalty was imposed, it has been enforced, is actually in the process of being enforced or can no longer be enforced under the laws of the sentencing State.

— jebkuru personu, kuru dalībvalstis vai jebkura publiska vai privāta persona ir nosūtījusi darbā uz Eiropas Kopienām un kura veic funkcijas, kas ir līdzvērtīgas Eiropas Kopienu amatpersonu vai citu darbinieku veicamajām funkcijām.
(c) termins "nacionālā amatpersona" ir jāsaprot saskaņā ar terminu "amatpersonas" vai "valsts amatpersonas" definīcijām nacionālajos likumos tajā Dalībvalstī, kurās attiecīgā persona veic funkcijas krimināllikuma piemērošanas mērķiem.
Tomēr gadījumos, kad tiesvedību lietās, kurās ir iesaistīta kādas Dalībvalsts amatpersona, aizsāk kāda cita dalībvalsts, pēdējai nav obligāti jāpiemēro "nacionālās amatpersonas" definīcija, izņemot gadījumus, ja šī definīcija ir atbilstoša minētās valsts nacionālajiem likumiem.
1. Šīs Konvencijas izpratnē tīša darbība, ar kuru jebkura amatpersona tieši vai ar starpniecības palīdzību pieprasa vai saņem jebkāda veida labumus sev vai trešajai personai, vai akceptē šādu labumu piedāvājumu, par to, lai šī amatpersona veiktu savas funkcijas vai pienākumus vai atturētos no savu funkciju vai pienākumu veikšanas, pārkāpjot savus amata pienākumus, ir uzskatāma par pasīvo korupciju.
2. Katra Dalībvalsts veic nepieciešamos pasākumus, lai nodrošinātu, ka panta pirmajā daļā minētā rīcība tiktu kvalificēta kā noziedzīgs nodarījums.
1. Šīs Konvencijas izpratnē tīša rīcība, ar kuru jebkura persona sola vai dod, tieši vai ar starpniecības palīdzību, amatpersonai jebkāda veida labumus, kas domāti šai amatpersonai vai trešajai pusei, par to, lai šī amatpersona veiktu savas funkcijas vai pienākumus vai atturētos no savu funkciju vai pienākumu veikšanas, pārkāpjot savus amata pienākumus, ir uzskatāma par aktīvo korupciju.
1. Katra Dalībvalsts veic nepieciešamos pasākumus, lai nodrošinātu, ka tās krimināllikumā konvencijas 2. un 3. pantā minētie nodarījumi, kurus ir izdarījuši tās valdības ministri, tās Parlamenta palātās ievēlētie deputāti, Augstākās Tiesas locekļi vai Revīzijas Tiesas locekļi, pildot savas funkcijas, vai kuri ir tikuši pastrādāti pret tiem, tiktu tāpat attiecināti arī uz gadījumiem, kur šādus nodarījumus ir izdarījuši Eiropas Kopienas Komisijas locekļi, Eiropas Kopienas Parlamenta, Tiesas un Revidentu Tiesas locekļi, attiecīgi pildot savus uzdevumus, vai kuri ir tikuši izdarīti pret tiem.
2. Ja kāda Dalībvalsts ir pieņēmusi speciālus likumus attiecībā uz darbību vai bezdarbību, par ko valdības ministri ir atbildīgi sava īpašā politiskā stāvokļa dēļ šajā Dalībvalstī, pirmo daļu uz šādiem likumiem var neattiecināt ar noteikumu, ja dalībvalsts nodrošina, ka uz Eiropas Kopienas Komisijas locekļiem tiek attiecināti krimināllikuma panti, kas paredz atbildību par konvencijā minēto 2.un 3.pantu.
4. Šo Konvenciju piemēro pilnīgā saskaņā ar attiecīgajiem Eiropas Kopienas dibināšanas Līgumu noteikumiem, Protokolu par Eiropas Kopienas privilēģijām un neaizskaramību, Tiesas Statūtiem un tekstiem, kuri pieņemti to piemērošanai, saistībā ar neaizskaramības atņemšanu.
1. Katra Dalībvalsts veic nepieciešamos pasākumus, lai nodrošinātu, ka 2. un 3. pantā minētā darbība, līdzdalība tajā un minētās darbības veicināšana, tiktu sodīta ar efektīviem, samērīgiem un atbilstošiem kriminālsodiem, ieskaitot, vismaz smagu nodarījumu gadījumos, brīvības atņemšanu, kura rada priekšnoteikumu noziedznieku izdošanai.
2. Panta pirmā daļa neskar kompetentu institūciju īstenotu disciplinārsodu piemērošanu nacionālajām amatpersonām vai Kopienas amatpersonas. Nosakot piemērojamo sodu, nacionālās tiesas, kas skata krimināllietas, atbilstoši saviem nacionālajiem tiesību principiem korupcijas gadījumos, var ņemt vērā faktu, ka personai par to pašu darbību ir piemērots disciplinārsods.
Katra Dalībvalsts veic nepieciešamos pasākumus, lai korupcijas gadījumos, kā tas minēts 3. pantā, un ko persona savas kompetences ietvaros izdarījusi uzņēmuma vārdā, uzņēmuma vadītāji vai jebkura cita persona ar tiesībām pieņemt lēmumus vai īstenot kontroli uzņēmuma ietvaros, varētu tikt saukta pie kriminālatbildības saskaņā ar tās nacionālajos normatīvajos aktos noteiktajiem principiem.
(d) noziedzīga nodarījuma izdarītājs ir Kopienas amatpersona, kas strādā kādas Eiropas Kopienas institūcijā vai iestādē, kas izveidota saskaņā ar Līgumiem, kuri nodibina Eiropas Kopienu, un kuras atrašanās vieta ir attiecīgajā Dalībvalstī.
2. Iesniedzot 13. panta otrajā daļā minēto paziņojumu, Katra Dalībvalsts var noteikt, ka tā nenodibinās savu jurisdikciju vai nodibinās to tikai īpašos gadījumos, pār šā panta pirmās daļas (b), (c) un (d) punktos minētajiem gadījumiem.
1. Jebkura Dalībvalsts, kura, saskaņā ar tās likumiem neizdod savus pilsoņus, veic nepieciešamos pasākumus, lai nodibinātu savu jurisdikciju pār noziedzīgiem nodarījumiem, kurus tā noteikusi saskaņā ar 2., 3. un 4. pantā prasīto, kad noziedzīgos nodarījumus izdarījuši tās pilsoņi ārpus šīs valsts teritorijas.
2. Katra Dalībvalsts gadījumos, kad tās pilsonis tiek turēts aizdomās par noziedzīga nodarījuma, kas noteikts saskaņā ar 2., 3. un 4. pantā prasīto, izdarīšanu citā Dalībvalstī, un šī Dalībvalsts neizdod šo personu, tikai pamatojoties uz viņa vai viņas pilsonību, attiecīgā gadījumā iesniedz lietu savām kompetentajām institūcijām ar mērķi ierosināt lietu. Lai sekmētu ierosinātās lietas turpmāku virzību, dati, informācija un materiāli, kas attiecas uz noziedzīgo nodarījumu, tiek nodoti saskaņā ar 1957.gada 13.decembra Eiropas Konvencijas par izdošanu 6. panta noteikumiem. Pieprasītāja Dalībvalsts tiek informēta par ierosināto lietu un par tiesvedības iznākumu.
3. Šī panta nozīmē termins "dalībvalsts pilsonis" tiek iztulkots atbilstoši Dalībvalsts veiktajām atrunām saskaņā ar Eiropas Konvencijas par izdošanu 6. panta pirmās daļas (b) apakšpunktu un šā panta (c) apakšpunktu.
1. Ja kāda procedūra, kas sasaistīta ar noziedzīgu nodarījumu, kas definēts saskaņā ar 2., 3. un 4. pantā noteikto, un skar vismaz divas Dalībvalstis, šīs Dalībvalstis efektīvi sadarbojas izmeklēšanā, tiesvedībā un izpildot spriedumu, piemēram, sniedzot savstarpēju tiesisko palīdzību, sadarbojoties izdošanā, tiesvedību nodošanā vai izpildot citā Dalībvalstī taisītus spriedumus.
2. Ja vairāk kā vienai Dalībvalstij ir jurisdikcija un ir reāla iespēja ierosināt lietu par noziedzīgu nodarījumu, kas balstīts uz vieniem un tiem pašiem faktiem, iesaistītās Dalībvalstis sadarbojas, lemjot, kura turpinās lietas virzību pret noziedzīgā nodarījuma izdarītāju vai izdarītājiem, nolūkā, ja tas ir iespējams, centralizēt šīs lietas izskatīšanu vienā Dalībvalstī.
1. Dalībvalstis ievieš savos nacionālajos normatīvajos aktos krimināltiesību jomā ne bis in idem principu, saskaņā ar ko personai, kuras tiesvedības process Dalībvalstī ir beidzies, nevar tikt apsūdzēta citā Dalībvalstī par to pašu nodarījumu, ja sods ir ticis piespriests, ir izpildīts, pašreiz tiek izpildīts vai nevar tikt turpmāk izpildīts saskaņā ar tās valsts normatīvajiem aktiem, kas taisa spriedumu.
(c) ja darbības, kas ir par pamatu citā valstī taisītam spriedumam, izdara Dalībvalsts amatpersona pretēji saviem amata pienākumiem.
3. Ja turpmākā apsūdzība konkrētai personai tiek izvirzīta dalībvalstī, pamatojoties uz šiem pašiem faktiem, uz kuru pamata tās lieta jau ir izbeigta kādā citā dalībvalstī, balstoties uz noilgumu vai brīvības atņemšanu, pēdējai dalībvalstij ir jāatsakās no savu sankciju piemērošanas, pamatojoties uz jau minētajiem faktiem. Atbilstoši nacionālajiem normatīvajiem aktiem sankcijas, kuras neietver brīvības atņemšanu, arī jāņem vērā tiktāl, cik tās jau ir piemērotas.
4. Izņēmumi, kas var būt par pamatu otrajā daļā minētajam paziņojumam nevar tikt piemēroti, ja attiecīgā Dalībvalsts attiecībā uz tiem pašiem faktiem pieprasa otrai Dalībvalstij ierosināt lietu vai nodrošina iesaistītās personas izdošanu.
5. Šis pants neietekmē starp Dalībvalstīm noslēgtos attiecīgos divpusējos vai daudzpusējos līgumus un attiecīgos Dalībvalstu paziņojumus.

Ja netiek panākts nekāds risinājums sešu mēnešu laikā, strīdā iesaistītā puse var nosūtīt lietu Eiropas Kopienas Tiesai.
2. Jebkurš strīds starp vienu vai vairākām Dalībvalstīm un Eiropas Kopienu, kurš saistīts ar 1. pantu, izņemot tā (c) punktu, vai 2., 3. un 4. pantu tik daudz, cik tas skar jautājumu par Kopienas tiesībām vai Kopienas finansiālajām interesēm, vai kurā ir iesaistītas saskaņā ar Eiropas Kopienas dibināšanas līgumiem izveidoto Kopienas institūciju vai iestāžu amatpersonas, un kuru nav iespējams atrisināt pārrunu ceļā, viena no strīdā iesaistītajām pusēm var iesniegt Eiropas Kopienas Tiesai.
3. Jebkura dalībvalsts tiesa var lūgt, lai Tiesa sniedz prejudiciālu lēmumu jautājumā par 1.-4. un 12.-16. panta interpretāciju, ja šāds jautājums izvirzās tās tiesvedībā esošā lietā un tajā iesaistīti Kopienas institūciju vai saskaņā ar Eiropas Kopienu dibināšanas līgumiem izveidoto organizāciju locekļi vai amatpersonas, kuras veic savas funkcijas, ja šī dalībvalsts tiesa uzskata, ka lēmums šajā jautājumā ir nepieciešams, lai tā varētu pasludināt spriedumu.

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, there was a flurry of conversation about how best to help the survivors. My Guys Moving stepped in to team up with Century 21 Redwood Realty. Their offer? They bring the trucks, we bring the items to fill it.
The response from all 12 of our Century 21 Redwood Realty offices was tremendous, to say the least.
Donations poured in from other avenues as well, with many people giving money for or sending needed items from Amazon Prime directly. Our Frederick office alone collected over $2000 to be used for goods from Amazon, which they delivered to our Ashburn office to be added to the truck headed to Houston.
Outside partners of C21 Redwood Realty also gave generously. Linganore Wellness Center made an extremely big-hearted donation, sending another order headed down to Ashburn. Other contributors included Highland Title, Loudoun Community Midwives and, yes, even a Limeade/baked goods stand!
Every little bit helps when it comes to helping others!
You can never have too much bleach, right?
We were completely overwhelmed, in all the best ways, by everyone's response to supporting this amazing initiative and contributing to a great cause. Thank you to everyone who participated in this drive – we know your efforts will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for giving back, everyone. Redwood truly rocks.

Imitation, so they say, is the sincerest form of flattery. It's also a great way to start developing your child's storytelling muscles. Young children often memorize the words to their favorite books. It's a short step from that to changing the words slightly to make your own version. Here are five popular picture books that you may have in your house that are a great jumping-off point for writing your own stories with your preschool-age child. This is a great activity for a lazy vacation day.
I always wanted my kids to be readers. Actually, let me rephrase: I was determined that if I did nothing else in my career as a mother, my kids would be readers. My own "book lover" credentials are pretty solid – editor dad, literary agent mom, elementary school career spent holed up in a closet writing (bad) poetry. Throw in the fact that I put books in the same category as food and water, and that pretty much sums it up.

Q: Why is this not printing to standard output (stdout)? I'm currently creating my own command line shell, and I'm having problems when trying to take in pipes. My program starts with the parent process. It checks to see if the user puts in exit or history. If so it uses those commands, but this is not important. If the user puts in anything other than exit or history, then it creates a child who executes the current task.
However, if the user puts in a command that has a single pipe, then we start at the parent and it creates a child process, call this child, child 1. child 1 see's that there is a pipe and uses fork to create another child, call this child 2. Child 1 creates another child, call it child 3 (Note: child 2 and 3 use shared memory). Now, child 2 executes the first command, and child 3 executes the command using child 2's output. But I'm not getting any output for some reason.
I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way of executing my task, but this is what my professor said to do.
If you want to see all of my code here it is: http://pastebin.com/YNTVf3XP
Otherwise here is my code starting at child 1:
            //Otherwise if we have a single pipe, then do
            else if (numPipes == 1) {

                char *command1[CMD_MAX];        //string holding the first command
                char *command2[CMD_MAX];        //string holding the second command
                int fds[2];                     //create file descriptors for the parent and child
                pid_t new_pid;                  //create new pid_t obj

                onePipeSplit(tokens, command1, command2, numTokens);    //Getting each command for pipe

                if (pipe(fds) < 0) {            //use the pipe command. If < 0
                    perror("Pipe failure.");    //we have an error, so exit
                    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                }

                //Creating child 2
                new_pid = fork();

                //if pid < 0 then we have an error. Exit.
                if (new_pid < 0) {
                    perror("Fork failure.");
                    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                }

                //Else we have the child (2) process
                else if (new_pid == 0) {

                    close(fds[0]);      //Close read

                    //sending stdin to the shared file descriptor
                    if (dup2(fds[1], STDOUT_FILENO)<0) {
                        perror("Can't dup");
                        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                    }

                    execvp(command1[0], command1);  //Execute the next command
                    perror("Exec failure");
                    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                }

                //Else if we have the parent process
                else {

                    pid_t child = fork();           //Creating child 3
                    if (new_pid < 0) {              //if pid < 0, error, exit
                        perror("Fork failure.");
                        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                    }

                    //else if pid > 0 we have the parent wait until children execute
                    else if (new_pid > 0) {
                        wait(NULL);
                    }

                    //else we have the child (3)
                    else {

                        close(fds[1]);      //Close write

                        //Sending stdout to the shared file descriptor
                        if (dup2(fds[0], STDIN_FILENO) < 0) {
                            perror("Can't dup");
                            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                        }

                        execvp(command2[0], command2);  //Execute the command
                        perror("Exec failure");
                        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                    }
                }
            }

Here is an image that my professor gave me to show how it should work.

A: The problem is here:
                   pid_t child = fork();           //Creating child 3
                    if (new_pid < 0) {
       ... you keep checking `new_pid` here on down,
       ... but you should be checking `child` here on down...

Also in onePipeSplit you need to put a NULL at the end of both command lists because execvp needs that.  After the first loop add:
command1[i] = NULL;

and after the second:
command2[i] = NULL;

OK, a few more fixes:
after each dup2() you need to close the original fd.  One example:
                    if (dup2(fds[1], STDOUT_FILENO)<0) {
                        perror("Can't dup");
                        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
                    }
                    close(fds[1]);      /* ADD ME */

and in the parent process:
                    //else if pid > 0 we have the parent wait until children execute
                    else if (child > 0) {
                        close(fds[0]);   /* we don't use */
                        close(fds[1]);   /* the pipe */
                        wait(NULL);
                        exit(0);         /* when 2 & 3 are done, we are too */
                    }

Gustaf David Hagerman (1770-1839), was a Swedish merchant and banker.

Career

Gustaf Hagerman was born on the 22 September 1770 in Tolånga parish, and died the 23 August 1839 in Ystad, Scania. He was the son of the Vicar Christian Hagerman. Hagerman began venturing into business through a relative of his Predbjörn Blanxius, with whom he trained to become a trader of raw materials. Upon his death, Blanxius left Hagerman his business, which at the time included mostly trading of grain. In 1798 he earned trading rights through his partnership with Jöns Peter Hemberg, and in 1802 he started his own company. Thanks to the continental system, Ystad profited greatly during the early 19th century, and so did Hagerman's business, which grew in range of products traded, including: spices, tobacco, tea, wine, iron, tools, paper, and tapestries. In 1930, Hagerman, together with Jöns Peter Hemberg, and Gustav Berghman, founded Skånes Enskilda Bank, in which he was a board member 1831–1839. The bank grew to become the largest private bank in Sweden during late 1800s.

Personal life

Gustaf Hagerman on the 7 October 1798, married Christina Maria Blanxius, Predbjörn Blanxius' daughter. In 1831 he built the Hagerman House in Ystad, and in 1836 he acquired Vittskövle Castle from his brother, Jonas Hagerman, where he spent his final years. Vittskövle Castle, was inherited by his daughter Marie, who married court marshal Rudolf Holder Stjernswärd. Descendants of Hagerman through the Stjernswärd family still own Vittskövle Castle.

One of the most common questions acid reflux food lovers ask is - "Will I ever again be able to eat the foods I love that cause my acid reflux?" The answer to this question can sometimes be "yes" but not always. It really depends on the person, and how severe their case of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is.
- Fried and fatty foods – i.e. fatty meat, chicken skin, processed meats, cheeses and other food, as well as any deep fried dish.
- Citrus fruits – oranges, lemon, grapefruit etc.
- High fat and oily sweets – doughnuts, regular cookies, etc.
Even though not all of the above foods may trigger your acid reflux, as acid reflux food triggers vary from person to person, unfortunately, you won't be able to determine what foods are safe for your diet and which are not, unless you eliminate all possible triggers.
Once you no longer experience acid reflux symptoms from your diet, only then can you begin to try and introduce the foods you love back in your diet one by one. It is imperative that you only test foods one at a time, because if you eat more than one, and your acid reflux flares up, you will not be able to determine which food was the culprit, or if both contributed to the cause.
All you will require is a small diary/journal and pen/pencil for your experiment. Make sure you have this diary on you at all times when you introduce new foods to your diet so you can keep an adequate record and show your findings to your doctor.
– When you prepare your own food you have better control over the portion you give yourself, and know what ingredients you used, or were used from the ingredient list on the back of a food product.
Although tasting the food you love is very exciting, you must be careful not to overindulge. Eat a very small portion and slowly increase the portion to a recommended or healthy size if acid reflux does not occur over a two week period. By doing this, what you may discover is that while a small portion of your favorite food does not trigger acid reflux, a larger one might.
Each food type you introduce should be allowed a full two week trial period before you can determine if this food is safe to add back into your diet. Should you experience acid reflux shortly after eating the new food, there is a very good chance this particular food is the culprit. To be sure it is the food and not another factor, such as eating too quickly, or lying down directly after eating, try it one more time. If acid reflux occurs again, eliminate this food from your experiment, wait a few days, and begin with the next food trial.
If you can't eat the foods you love without experiencing acid reflux, you need to avoid them. If on occasion you wish to treat yourself to these foods, take medication before eating to help counter symptoms. However, it is imperative you DO NOT make a habit of taking medication just so you can eat the foods you love whenever you want. The reason is because medication may only mask your symptoms, and does not stop acid reflux from occurring.
For instance, while antacids are ideal for neutralizing acid and relieving heartburn, overusing this medication can upset the gastrointestinal tract and result in side effects such as constipation or diarrhea. Furthermore, if a GERD sufferer has an inflamed esophagus; antacids will not heal the inflammation. The same can be said for H2 receptor blockers. Though these drugs are more effective than antacids, they do not heal an inflamed esophagus, and can cause side effects when taken for long-term including dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and kidney problems. Additionally, you need to be careful that acid reflux medication does not interfere or cause dangerous side effects with any other medication you may be taking.
Finally, keep in mind that even though you may discover you can eat some of the foods you love, not experiencing acid reflux symptoms does not mean acid reflux is not occurring. Sometimes acid reflux can be asymptomatic (silent), which means that although you may not feel the sting of heartburn, acid reflux is still causing damage within the body. So, it is in your best interest to not only keep an acid reflux food diary, but also regularly consult your doctor to make sure silent acid reflux is not occurring and causing unknown damage.


The Centre for Eating Disorders Innovation (CEDI) at MEB was established under the auspices of the Swedish Research Council. We are dedicated to applying novel and emerging methodologies and technologies to elucidate causal mechanisms underlying eating disorders.
The overarching goal of CEDI is to discover how the genome, the microbiome, and the environment act and interact to modify the risk for eating disorders. Our studies aim to discover the molecular and cellular mechanisms that are involved in these processes.
The postdoctoral fellow will be deeply involved with analyses associated with the Eating Disorders Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium. In addition, GWAS available data from the Anorexia Genetics Initiative (ANGI) includes genotype and phenotypic information from 4000 cases with anorexia nervosa and 4000 healthy controls in Sweden. We have deep phenotypic information from all participants, in addition to genome-wide Illumina GRA array data. In-depth and large-scale studies of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder are also in progress at the center.
The postdoctoral projects will focus on genome-wide association studies of deep phenotypic information in eating disorders, and studying the effect of background polygenic risk burden on the co-morbidity profiles in individuals with eating disorders. Post-doctoral fellows will also be encouraged to develop their own research ideas.
A person is eligible for a position as postdoctoral research fellow if they have obtained a PhD no more than seven years before the last date of employment as a postdoc.
Applicants should have a PhD degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, statistical genetics, or genetics, as well as substantial experience in high-level analysis of preferably multiple types of modern genomic datasets (e.g., genome-wide association). Experience in analyzing other types of omics data such as RNA-seq, exome sequencing, or metabolomic data is desirable. Modern genomics also requires proven skills in programming (e.g., R, python, SAS, bash/unix), use of standard software packages (e.g., PLINK, IMPUTE/MACH, GATK, PRSice), flexibly manipulating large datasets, bioinformatic integration, use of high-performance computational clusters, knowledge on polygenic risk score analyses, or similar knowledge. Specific knowledge of psychiatric genomics (particularly for eating disorders) is highly desirable.
The applicant should be highly collegial, experienced in working in "team science" contexts, possess exceptional organizational skills, know how to successfully multitask, and should be able to describe past examples of having developed structured approaches to solving unanticipated and complex problems. Excellent oral and written communication skills in English are required, along with ample experience with writing and publishing research articles in English.

Dubai makes new gains in quality of living ranking
Dubai gets 74th place worldwide in Mercer index and retains top spot within region
Dubai: For a fifth year running, Dubai easily retained its ranking as the Middle East's top destination for expatriates in the annual global city index put together by the consultancy Mercer. But this year's listings show Dubai move up to 74th spot (from being 75th) worldwide in terms of the quality of living on offer and 51st in terms of infrastructure. Abu Dhabi was close behind in 79th spot, up three places, according to the influential survey.
Dubai's gains were built on the infrastructure upgrades and ambitious additions the city has been putting in – infrastructure is pivotal in determining quality of living for expats and received a separate ranking in the survey. Abu Dhabi's infrastructure-related ranking was 67, while Muscat and Doha were 97th and Doha 96th, respectively. The best place for expatriates remains Vienna, now in its eight year at the top of the Mercer index. In fact, European cities dominate the Top 10 rankings, with Zurich in second, Munich at fourth, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt in sixth and seventh spots.
The only non-European cities in the first 10 positions were Auckland, which came in third, and Vancouver, placed fifth.
When it comes to this region, the situation with regard to the economies and the oil and gas sectors have had an influence on which cities made gains and which lost out.
"Not all Gulf countries have fared similarly the last few years," said a Mercer spokesperson. "Economies that are highly dependent on the energy sector, like Qatar and Abu Dhabi, have seen – and still seeing – drastic redundancy waves, among which (were) many Western professionals.
"However, in Dubai for instance, which has a more diversified economy, the impact has been much less severe. Our 2016 "UAE Inbound Assignment" survey – with the majority of participants Dubai based – saw some companies decreasing their number of expats on assignment contracts."
According to Mercer, Dubai and Abu Dhabi's move up the index had a lot to do with the all-round infrastructure upgrades coming into place. Another to gain from doing so was Doha, but Riyadh and Jeddah have missed out and dropped a few spots.
On whether corrections in the property market in Dubai and Dhabi were factored into the latest index, the spokesperson said: "Mercer's quality of living studies include the availability of high quality housing, which is of a very good standard in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. This criteria didn't impact the Dubai and Abu Dhabi ranking.
"Actual rental costs are captured by our cost of living research, a ranking which we will publish again in June."
In a statement, Rob Thissen, Mercer's Middle East Talent Mobility Lead, said: "A city's infrastructure, or rather the lack thereof, can considerably affect the quality of living that expatriates and their families experience on a daily basis. Access to a variety of transport options, being connected locally and internationally, and access to electricity and drinkable water are among the essential needs of expatriates arriving in a new location on assignment.
"A well-developed infrastructure can also be a key competitive advantage for cities and municipalities trying to attract multinational companies, talent, and foreign investments."
The Mercer index is derived from 39 factors, which are grouped into 10 categories. These include the political and social environment, the economic situation (including currency exchange regulations), the socio-cultural aspect (media availability and censorship, limitations on personal freedom), and access to public services and leisure options. Housing costs are also factored in, as is the climate.
The scores attributed to each factor, weighted to reflect their importance to expatriates, permit city-to-city comparisons.
On whether details such as company allowances are also scored, the spokesperson said: "This is not captured as part of the quality of living research, but we do capture housing allowances as part of our total remuneration Surveys, which covers over 400 companies in the UAE.
"In general, we have not seen drastic cuts or the removal of housing allowances. Our findings certainly show that housing allowances have remained stable in the last few years, probably on the back of the economic downturn and decreases in housing costs."
Those cities where quality of living is an issue
Baghdad gets the lowest ranking (at 231), falling behind even Damascus (placed 225), in the Mercer rankings.

ISEE made a call to developers late 2012, asking them what features they'd like for an OMAP5 board. IGEPv5 board is now nearly completed, and people can register their interest to receive the development board in January 2014.
IGEPv5 comes preloaded with a firmware consisting of a minimal Linux-based distribution composed of U-boot, the Linux kernel, and a rootfs build with Yocto featuring a lite X Window System with GNOME Mobile based applications.
The company will also provide development tools namely: IGEP SDK Yocto Toolchain, IGEP SDK Virtual Machine, IGEP DSP Gstreamer Framework, and IGEP QEMU emulator. Hardware and software manuals, schematics, mechanical drawings and software will be made available too. Support will be provided via IGEP community.
Pricing is not available yet, but you can already reserved your board now by contacting ISEE's sales department at [email protected], with the board shipping in January 2014.
You may get further information on ISEE IGEPv5 page.
how much does any one know ???
excellent specs. how's the price?
I wouldn't expect that monstrosity to be very cheap. Look at all of the chips on the board. This isn't like the RPi or Cubieboard, where everything is provided by just one main chip.
I'm wondering what the nine inductors clustered around one chip are for.
It must be a PMIC.
Anyway, TI's AP biz part seems to be dead.
Cubieboard/RPi have the same amount of chips, at least on a logical level. SoC, NAND for storage, RAM, USB controller (if required), PMIC, HDMI controller, Wifi, Ethernet, and I could go on. Of course the extra headers, etc., require some price increase, but not that much. 200EUR for this board would be outrageous, given that the whole ARM SoC department of TI is now defunct, and there's no support coming from them (nor sources).
They may have downsized and changed business direction, but they still have people working on it.
Price has not been fixed yet.
