Q: Can connect to Cassandra cluster using OpsCenter but not DevCenter or via Java Cassandra noob here. I've done the online training which didn't need more than a localhost connection. Now I've pulled out some old computers and set them up as a cluster, however I can't connect to them via DevCenter or using the Java Driver.
I used OpsCenter to set up the cluster hoping that I would not have to do any manual configuration, but it seems that some manual configuration will be required.
I used OpsCenter 4.0.3 to create a Community 2.0.3 cluster with four nodes. All four nodes are joined to the cluster. OpsCenter sees them all and shows them as Active. All four nodes are running Ubuntu Desktop 13.10. I have successfully added a keyspace using the OpsCenter Schema tab.
Nmap shows that none of the nodes has port 9042 open, so it seems to me that it's a problem with the client side agents not listening on the port.
At the suggestion of someone from DataStax I edited the cassandra.yaml file on one of the nodes (the seed node, as it happens) and set the rpc_address to the node ip address (ie: 192.168.0.123). I restarted the node from OpsCenter, but there was no effect.
I then edited cassandra.yaml and changed the listen_address to be the node address, and restarted the node from OpsCenter, again to no avail.
Clearly I have missed a step somewhere along the line. Anyone who has successfully started a Cassandra cluster know what I'm overlooking?

A: Edit cassandra.yaml, find the line that has rpc_address, un comment it and set it to:
rpc_address: 0.0.0.0
if you used datastax to install cassandra you can find cassandra.yaml in /etc/cassandra

A: Check that the following settings are on (at least one of ) your C* node:

*

*start_native_transport: true

*native_transport_port: 9042

*rpc_address: IP -- where the IP is something you can ping from the machine running DevCenter.

Once you've restarted the node make sure you can actually connect to it: telnet IP 9042. If you cannot than most probably you haven't edited the right cassandra.yaml.

Is it Lonely at the Top?
By DEBJANI ROY |
Executive isolation is an omnipresent critical malaise of the corporate world today. Not only does it threaten the ongoing well-being of the person at the helm of affairs, but it also creates tension in the environment, overall.
The crown that sits on the head of a top executive in an organisation is by no means an easy burden. Over the years, climbing the hierarchy as a manager, nurturing the team, and clocking milestones all have their highs. Things, however, are different for the person on the top, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Company.
The CEO's day typically starts with multiple thoughts: funding, profitability, board concerns over performance, people issues, competition woes, disruptive strategies, and so much more. The CEOs must also suffer from their share of personal problems at times, which neither makes it any easier to maintain balance and equanimity nor helps in going about the multiple responsibilities with gravitas. The sheer stress levels that come with the territory, along with the role when it comes to that of a CEO, is unnerving. Having been a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to many CEOs for almost twelve years of my career, I had the good fortune to watch, up-close, many such CEOs in action, which were lessons in themselves.
Given the above, could anyone call this job easy? Can anyone become a CEO, or does it necessitate possessing certain competencies that significantly influence the direction for a company as well as determine, in multiple ways, the future of a large number of people? Also, why is it said that the CEO is actually a very lonely person at the top?
This sense of loneliness, often experienced by the person on the hot seat, is not so much "lonely" as we understand the term, but more of being in a continuous state of being "on the edge" (a phrase coined by the pioneering loneliness researcher, John Cacioppo). And why not! Executive psychological isolation is an omnipresent critical malaise of the corporate world today. Not only does it threaten the ongoing well-being of the person at the helm of affairs, but it also creates tension in the environment, overall. But I always felt that this continuous feeling of isolation, while it creates a sort of invisible wall around the role-holder, also in many ways helps them preserve their energies and strategise against naysayers.
In one of my stints with an American MNC, I had the onerous responsibility to sit across the CEO at his table for the first few minutes when the anxiety pangs initially struck him. No words, discussion, or actions were required. Another CEO with whom I worked very closely would suddenly withdraw from normal circulation almost a week before a scheduled meeting and then break into inane jokes before the start of every board meeting or a hastily called business review. What would you call these idiosyncrasies or foibles? Something other than "being on the edge"? Is it a lonely spot at the top of the pyramid, where one miss could bury your future without so much as a whimper? Well, that is a tough call! And yet, it is no pipe dream today that the majority of the corporate world lives in the hope of becoming a CEO or Head of Business someday.

Taiwan's legislature first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage

On Friday the legislature of Taiwan, the Legislative Yuan, voted 66 to 27 to legalize same-sex marriage, seven days ahead of the two-year deadline issued by the country's Constitutional Court in 2017. This would make Taiwan the first country in Asia to legally recognize unions between same-sex couples. The law is to take effect late this week.
The Legislative Yuan debated three competing bills, and selected the one posed by the country's cabinet, which used the word "marriage," over the two posed by conservatives, which used the terms "same-sex family relationship" and "same-sex union." The selected bill does not offer same-sex couples all the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts; there are limits on adoption rights and marriage with foreigners.
Jennifer Lu of Marriage Equality Coalition Taiwan said, "[I]t's still not full marriage rights; we still need to fight for co-adoption rights, and we are not sure about foreigner and Taiwanese marriage, and also gender equality education."
The Taiwanese government held a referendum in November 2018, allowing the population to vote on same-sex marriage, and 67% came out against.
Xiaogang Wei of the Beijing Gender Health Education Institute commented on the Legislative Yuan's decision: "The Chinese government has pointed to cultural tradition as a reason for same-sex marriage being unsuitable in China. But the decision in Taiwan, which shares a cultural tradition with us, proves that Chinese culture can be open, diverse and progressive."
In mainland China, which claims sovereignty over Taiwan, homosexuality is technically not illegal, but late last year a same-sex erotica author was sentenced to ten years in prison, and same-sex marriage is not recognized.
In 2017, Taiwan's Constitutional Court, which rules on constitutional matters, said not allowing gay citizens to marry constituted "different treatment" incompatible with the constitution. The decision prompted objections from conservatives opposing recognition of gay marriage.

Have you been stressed about your finances? Everyone gets this way sometimes, but there is help for yourself. You can obtain a cash advance from the company that offers short-term loans. However, there are some things you need to remember when going through this procedure. Follow this advice to make sure the process goes smoothly.
Realize that you are giving the cash advance access to your individual banking information. That may be great once you see the loan deposit! However, they can also be making withdrawals out of your account. Be sure to feel relaxed having a company having that kind of usage of your bank account. Know can be expected that they can use that access.
Realize that you are giving the payday loan access to your individual banking information. That may be great once you see the loan deposit! However, they can also be making withdrawals from the account. Be sure to feel relaxed having a company having that kind of usage of your banking account. Know can be expected that they can use that access.
Consider all types of fee that is associated to a cash advance. This is how you will know what the expense of borrowing the cash is. You will find rate regulations that are designed to protect consumers. Creditors will endeavour to obtain around them by charging a lot of fees. This may significantly increase how much cash you owe. You might like to think of this when you make your option.
Do not think you might be good after you secure a loan by way of a quick loan company. It is crucial that you will have the necessary paperwork ready at all times and you remember whenever your loan arrives in order to pay it back promptly. When online Payday Loans Belleville Ontario are certainly not paid by the due date, customers can face high fees that could quickly get rid of control.
Take into account that you possess certain rights when using a cash advance service. If you feel that you might have been treated unfairly by the loan company at all, you can file a complaint with your state agency. This really is in order to force them to comply with any rules, or conditions they neglect to fulfill. Always read your contract carefully. So you are aware what their responsibilities are, along with your own.
When confronted with payday lenders, always inquire about a fee discount. Industry insiders indicate these particular discount fees exist, only to individuals that ask about it buy them. Also a marginal discount will save you money that you really do not possess right now anyway. Even if people say no, they may mention other deals and choices to haggle for your personal business.
If you get a payday loan, be sure you have your most-recent pay stub to prove that you are employed. You must also have your latest bank statement to prove that you have a current open banking account. Whilst not always required, it would make the procedure of receiving a loan less difficult.
Sign up for your payday loan first thing inside the day. Many loan companies use a strict quota on the quantity of online Payday Loans Belleville Ontario they are able to offer on virtually any day. Once the quota is hit, they close up shop, and also you are out of luck. Arrive there early to avert this.
Check your credit history prior to deciding to look for a cash advance. Consumers having a healthy credit rating will be able to get more favorable interest rates and regards to repayment. If your credit score is at poor shape, you will probably pay interest rates that happen to be higher, and you might not qualify for a lengthier loan term.
Make sure to stay updated with any rule changes regarding your payday loan lender. Legislation is obviously being passed that changes how lenders may operate so be sure you understand any rule changes and exactly how they affect your loan before you sign a binding agreement.
Avoid taking online Payday Loans Belleville Ontario out, in case you are already mired within a financial crisis. When you find yourself having difficulty making ends meet, apparently here is the best time to get a cash advance. However, the loan is the starting point. You must also pay it back, along with fees, plus a hefty monthly interest. If you fail to afford to spend the money for loan off with your next paycheck, a payday loan is just not a sensible idea.
Never rush in a cash advance. Refinancing and rolling over online Payday Loans Belleville Ontario is an excellent method to accumulate loads of debt very rapidly much too many consumers have fallen into this trap. Because they loans carry such high interest rates, small debts can easily transform into huge ones. In the event you can't pay back the loan in regards due, try to get a loan from elsewhere rather than making use of the payday lender's refinancing option.
Whenever you are submitting an application to get a payday loan, it is best to search for some sort of writing that says your details will not be sold or shared with anyone. Some payday lending sites will provide important info away like your address, social security number, etc. so be sure you avoid these companies.
Avoid making decisions about online Payday Loans Belleville Ontario from the position of fear. You may well be in the center of an economic crisis. Think long, and hard before you apply for a payday loan. Remember, you need to pay it back, plus interest. Make certain it will be easy to do that, so you may not produce a new crisis for your self.
Some online Payday Loans Belleville Ontario are termed as title loans. They demand the individual requesting the loan to work with the title for their automobile as, collateral for the loan. This really is only an option if, the automobile includes a clear title without having liens attached. The title is held by the loan company until, the borrowed funds is utterly repaid.
You should find out how enough time you will need to pay the loan back. In some cases, you will be charged yet another fee if you do not make your payments in time. Some lending institutions will charge ridiculously high hidden fees if you cannot pay the loan back by the due date.
Because you are well informed, you should have a greater idea about whether, or otherwise you might get yourself a payday loan. Use the things you learned today. Make the decision that is going to benefit the finest. Hopefully, you are aware of what comes with getting a payday loan. Make moves based on your preferences.

VA to expand telehealth services for veterans nationwide
August 04, 2017, 7:21 a.m. EDT
The Department of Veterans Affairs is dramatically expanding its current telehealth capabilities to meet the growing needs of its patient population, particularly in the area of mental health services as well as rural and underserved parts of the United States.
Working with the Office of American Innovation and the Department of Justice, the VA has announced that it intends to issue a regulation allowing the department's clinicians to provide telehealth services from anywhere in the country to veterans nationwide regardless of location—including at home—thereby waiving state provider licensing requirements that limit access to care.
"We're removing regulations that have prevented us from doing this," said VA Secretary David Shulkin, MD. "We're removing geography as a barrier so that we can speed up access to veterans and really honor our commitment to them."
Shulkin and President Trump made the announcement regarding the "Anywhere to Anywhere" telemedicine initiative on Thursday at the White House as part of a technology demonstration.
"We're expanding the ability of veterans to connect with their VA healthcare team from anywhere using mobile application on the veteran's own phone or the veteran's own computer," said Trump.
"This will significantly expand access to care for our veterans, especially for those who need help in the area of mental health, which is a bigger and bigger request—and also in suicide prevention," the President added. "It will make a tremendous difference for the veterans in rural locations in particular."
The agency already offers VA Video Connect, the technology program that enables its providers to use mobile devices to connect with veterans on their devices and home computers, which is currently used by more than 300 agency clinicians at 67 facilities across the country. Now, the plan is to roll out these capabilities nationally.
"What we're announcing today is a big deal for veterans," said Shulkin. "It's really going to expand access for veterans in a way we haven't done before."
Shulkin pointed out that the VA already has the largest telehealth program in the nation, noting that in 2016 about 700,000 veterans received services through the technology in 50 different medical specialties including tele-dentistry, tele-dermatology and tele-intensive care.

What the expansion of agency's telehealth services will mean for healthcare is that "we're going to be able to use VA providers in cities where there are a lot of doctors, and be able to use those doctors to help our veterans in rural areas where there aren't many healthcare professionals," added Shulkin, who emphasized that mental health and suicide prevention are areas that "can really use that expertise."
The American Telemedicine Association voiced its strong support for the VA's expansion of telehealth services and eliminating state-by-state licensure requirements for its healthcare professionals.
"We applaud Dr. Shulkin for demonstrating the value of telehealth today at the White House," said Gary Capistrant, chief policy officer at ATA. "We encourage President Trump to issue an executive order to eliminate the state-by-state licensure model for all federal and private-sector health professional employees servicing federal government programs—notably agencies (such as the VA and the Department of Health and Human Services), health benefit programs (such as Medicare and TRICARE), federally-funded health sites (such as community health centers and rural clinics), and during federally-declared emergencies or disasters."
The President and Shulkin also took the opportunity to announce the launch of a mobile app that will enable veterans to schedule and change their appointments at VA medical facilities using their smartphones.
"This is something they were never able to do," commented Trump. "Technology has given us this advantage, but unfortunately we have not taken advantage of that until now."
The internally developed Veterans Appointment Request app, which can be downloaded from the VA's app store, is able to track appointment details and the status of requests, send messages about requested appointments, as well as receive notifications and cancel appointments.
"Today, this is available in all 18 of our regions across the country and we've already booked more than 4,000 appointments from veterans directly from their smartphones so that they can schedule their own appointments," added Shulkin. "But, now we're announcing the national rollout of this."

EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has initiated an integrated NESHAP Risk and Technology Review for Pulp and Paper Industry and Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources, and a NSPS review for Kraft Pulp Mills. Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act directs EPA to conduct risk assessments on each source category subject to maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards, and to determine if additional standards are needed to reduce residual risks, to be completed 8 years after promulgation. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to review and revise the MACT standards, as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies, to be done at least every 8 years.
The NESHAP for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills (Subpart MM) was promulgated in 2001 and has not been reviewed. Similarly, the NESHAP for the Pulp and Paper Industry (Subpart S) was promulgated in 1998 and also has not been reviewed. Section 111(b)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act mandates that EPA review and, if appropriate, revise existing NSPS at least every 8 years. The Kraft Pulp Mill NSPS was promulgated in 1978 and is in need of review. This NSPS component of the review will include evaluating existing emission limits for particulate matter, total reduced sulfur, and opacity and evaluating the appropriateness of developing emission limits for other pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide.

Q: Un-nesting a list a certain number of times based on parameter I am trying to unnest a list n number of times, where n is passed into the function. There can only be one value within the innermost list, its just the problem of removing brackets
I have tried:
def nest(x,n):
    newlist = [x]
    flatlist=[]
    if n > 0:
        for counter in range(n-1):
            newlist = [newlist]
        return newlist
    elif n<0:
        for sublist in x:
            for item in sublist:
                print(item)

        return flatlist
    else:
        return x

print(nest([[["hello"]]], -3))

but this only removes the outermost list irrespective of the number of lists this should unnest. The output of this is "[["hello"]]"

A: I don't really get the logic in your code when the n is negative, but if I understood the problem correctly, and you simply want to add/remove the brackets around your input list, the following code will do it:
def nest(x, n):
    if n > 0:
        for _ in range(n):
            x = [x]
    if n < 0:
        for _ in range(-n):
            x = x[0]
    return x

Examples:
print(nest([[["hello"]]], 0))
# [[['hello']]]

print(nest([[["hello"]]], 2))
# [[[[['hello']]]]]

print(nest([[["hello"]]], -2))
# ['hello']

Note that if you specify n greater than the number of brackets, this can produce an unexpected result if the inner element is a string:
print(nest([[["hello"]]], -4))
# h

Probably, you wouldn't want that, so we need either simply return the inner element in this case, or raise an error:
def nest(x, n):
    if n > 0:
        for _ in range(n):
            x = [x]
    if n < 0:
        for _ in range(-n):
            if not isinstance(x, list):
                break  # or raise ValueError('Not enough nested levels to unpack')
            x = x[0]
    return x

print(nest([[["hello"]]], -4))
# hello

A: This could work, you might need to adapt it.
def unnest(x):
    x2 = []
    for i in x:
        for j in i:
            x2.append(j)
    return x2

def nest(x,n):
    x2 = x
    for i in range(n):
        x2 = unnest(x2)
    return x2

A: This will nest as you want to:
lst1 = [[["hello"]]]
str1 = 'hello'

def nest(element, n):
    return [nest(element, n - 1)] if n else element

print(nest(str1, 5))
# [[[[['hello']]]]]

This will unpack lists of lists of lists... recursively.
def flatten_list(lst):
    """returns flat list"""
    if isinstance(lst, (list, tuple)):
        if len(lst) == 0:
            return []
        first, rest = lst[0], lst[1:]
        return flatten_list(first) + flatten_list(rest)
    else:
        return [lst]

def flatten_to_string(lst):
    """extracts flat list to string"""
    return flatten_list(lst)[0]

print(flatten_to_string([[["hello"]]]))
# hello

print(flatten_list([[[[[["hello"]]], [[["hello"]]]]]]))
# ['hello', 'hello']

Pharmacological chaperones: A promising new treatment for genetic diseases
Posted on September 20, 2016 |
Potential applications for Gaucher disease and Tay-Sachs disease
By Alexandria Daum
Every protein in a cell is sorted in the endoplasmic reticulum before it moves to other parts of the cell – think of it as a mailroom for proteins. If a piece of mail is missing an address, it's thrown in the garbage. The same thing happens to defective proteins in a cell.
One way proteins can be defective is that they don't fold into the right shape. But in many genetic diseases, including Gaucher disease and Tay-Sachs disease, a mutation prevents proteins from folding properly, but the proteins actually still work. If only they weren't thrown in the garbage, they would be able to perform their proper function. That's where a pharmacological chaperone, a small molecule that helps proteins fold, can assist.
"One of the most exciting aspects of this project is that we're really at the cutting edge of the development of a novel group of therapeutic drugs," says Dr. Lorne Clarke, a professor at the University of British Columbia and lead investigator on the GlycoNet project developing this therapy.
"If you isolate the protein and protect it from being degraded, it actually is active," says Clarke. "For proteins taking too long to fold, chaperones encourage the proteins to fold and allow them to be escorted to where they should be – the lysosome."
Clarke and co-investigator Dr. Stephen Withers are testing pharmacological chaperones in humanized mice models as potential treatments for Gaucher disease and Tay-Sachs disease, and so far they've had promising results. Their preliminary data for Gaucher disease indicated that their compounds resulted in a two-fold increase in the amount of proteins active in their mice. The next step will be tweaking their compounds.
"The molecules we have now are designed to be inhibitors. The inhibitor will hold the protein in the folded state in order for it to be targeted properly in the cell," says Clarke. "But the inhibitors that we made are so good that they continue to inhibit the enzyme once it leaves the endoplasmic reticulum. The next step is making the inhibitor good in the endoplasmic reticulum, but poor in the lysosome where we want the enzyme to function properly."
The hope is that by preserving the protein and preventing it from being degraded, it will ultimately work as intended, decreasing symptoms in patients.
"We specifically chose these disorders because we know the proteins still work in isolation," adds Clarke. "Another exciting thing is the link between mutations in Gaucher disease and Parkinson's disease. So chemical chaperones may be applicable for Parkinson's."
The genetic mutation that indicates a risk for Parkinson's disease is the same mutation present in Gaucher disease, and so a link seems likely.
Gaucher disease is a genetic lipid storage disease that affects 1 in 50,000 people, resulting in liver malfunction, neurological complications, skeletal complications and more. While some treatments are already available for Gaucher disease, they are not effective for all patients. Tay-Sachs disease causes the deterioration of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and there is no known treatment. The most common form of Tay- Sachs disease occurs in infants who usually do not survive past early childhood.


If you missed our first installment talking about Louie's Cajun kitchen and Bourbon bar, you can find it here.
I was really excited to get in and try out the new food, I had an idea in my head that the reason that the restaurant changed from Clouds to Louie's was because the Chef had a moment of inspiration and wanted to cook Cajun food. Based on my first experience there, I was terribly wrong. I shouldn't be too judgmental though, I am only able eat gluten free, so I didn't get to try the pulled pork and I also went in the afternoon, so maybe they weren't on their "A" game. Still the food was bland and boring, Except for the chicken wings which tasted like they were drenched in butter and Tabasco and nothing else, they were disgusting.
So I was bummed out about the food. I will go back again some time I'm sure, and hopefully I will be won over, I really did like the food at clouds, so maybe my expectations were too high.
But for now, if I end up at Louie's Cajun Kitchen and Bourbon Bar I will stick to the Hurricanes, those were amazing!


Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various human diseases, including cancers. However, their mechanisms remain undocumented. We investigated alterations in lncRNA that may be related to pancreatic cancer (PC) through analysis of microarray data.
Methods: In the present study, quantitative real-time PCR analysis was used to examine the expression of taurine upregulated 1 (TUG1) in PC tissue samples and PC cell lines. In PC cell lines, MTT assays, colony formation assays, and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effects of TUG1 on proliferation, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Moreover, we established a xenograft model to assess the effect of TUG1 on tumor growth in vivo. The molecular mechanism of potential target genes was detected through nuclear separation experiments, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), chromatin immunoprecipitation assays (ChIP), and other experimental methods.
Results: The findings suggest that the abnormally high expression of TUG1 in PC tissues was associated with tumor size and pathological stage. Knockdown of TUG1 blocked the cell cycle and accelerated apoptosis, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of PC cells. In addition, RIP experiments showed that TUG1 can recruit enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) to the promoter regions of Rho family GTPase 3 (RND3) and metallothionein 2A (MT2A) and inhibit their expression at the transcriptional level. Furthermore, ChIP experiments demonstrated that EZH2 could bind to the promoter regions of RND3 and MT2A. The knockdown of TUG1 reduced this binding capacity.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our data suggest that TUG1 may regulate the expression of PC-associated tumor suppressor genes at the transcriptional level and these may become potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of PC.

Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi Pro today at an event held in China. The Redmi Pro is Xiaomi's first smartphone that sports dual rear camera setup. However, this is not the only device that was unveiled by the Chinese company. Xiaomi also unveiled its first laptop today – the Mi Notebook Air. There are two models of Mi Notebook Air both of which run Windows 10 OS and flaunt full metal body.
Out of the two models of Mi Notebook Air announced, one sports a 12.5-inch display whereas the other features a 13.3-inch display. Talking about the bigger model first, it is powered by Intel's 6th generation Core i5 processor which is backed by 8 GB DDR4 RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card with 1 GB DDR5 VRAM. The laptop comes with 256 GB PCIe SSD along with expandable SSD slot. Xiaomi claims that the battery provides 9.5 hours of backup and charges 50% in 30 minutes.
Coming to the smaller model with 12.5-inch display, it's a bit of a toned down version which has Intel's Core M3 processor under the hood along with 4 GB LPDDR3 RAM. The graphics department is handled by Intel HD Graphics 515. It comes with 128 GB SATA SSD along with expandable SSD slot. As it has smaller display, it provides battery backup of 11.5 hours, 2 hours more than the 13.3-inch model.
Both the models of Mi Notebook Air support Mi Cloud Sync which let you sync your phone contacts, messages, gallery, notes and other data. The Mi Notebook Air also unlocks automatically when the Mi Band 2 is near to it. As you can see from the first image shown above, none of these laptops carry Mi branding at the front, hence, Xiaomi is providing stickers with which you can personalize the look of your Mi Notebook Air.
Xiaomi will also be selling three different types of sleeves for the Mi Notebook Air – Leather sleeve, PU leather sleeve and Microfibre sleeve. The leather sleeve is priced at RMB 299 (around $45/₹3000) whereas the PU leather sleeve comes with a price tag of RMB 99 (around $15/₹1000) and the Microfibre sleeve will cost you RMB 69 (around $10/₹700).
Talking about the price of the Mi Notebook Air, the 12.5-inch model will cost you RMB 3499 (around $525/₹35,000) whereas the 13.3-inch model will set you back for RMB 4999 (around $750/₹50,000).
The Mi Notebook Air will go on sale from 2nd August in China and there's no information about the availability of Mi Notebook Air outside the country.


Lucas Radebe, arguably one of the most popular Leeds United players of all time, will be returning to Elland Road on Sunday 20th October, when Leeds host a visit from Birmingham.
'The Chief' will be in the Elland Road Superstore on Sunday morning to sign copies of his book "Lucas: From the Street of Soweto to Soccer Superstar" and will then be guest of honour at the Championship match (Kick off 1:15pm).
If he brings his boots, we reckon he could still do a job!
Radebe played for Leeds for 10 years after joining in 1994 and although he initially struggled to get a regular place, he ended up being one of the highest and most consistent performers in the team.

For consumer-owned electric utilities, service means much more than delivering power to members. It is about the power of community connections.
Lane Electric Cooperative and its employees devote time in the areas they serve, building relationships and community partnerships. After all, the women and men who work there also live there.
Earlier this year, LEC hosted members who are veterans and their spouses at a lunch to thank them for their service. It is just one way the co-op expresses its gratitude to their friends and neighbors.
Other ways LEC contributes include:
Participating in the Oakridge Keg and Cask Festival, the McKenzie Chainsaw & Arts Festival, the Lowell Blackberry Jam Festival, the Veneta Light Parade, the Oakridge-Westfir Tree Planting Festival and other community parades.
Awarding $20,500 in scholarships, with one scholarship of $5,500 to lineman school, two of $4,500 to Lane Community College and four of $1,500 to the recipients' college of choice.
Buying animals from 4-H and FFA youth. One of the cows LEC buys is made into hamburger and delivered in 1-pound packages to five food banks.
Contributing start-up money for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to local elementary schools.
Hanging community banners and LED snowflakes on streetlight poles in Oakridge every winter and taking them down in the spring.
Donating money for area grad night parties
Here are examples of how other area utilities make a difference in the communities they serve.
Blachly-Lane Electric Cooperative, Junction City, Oregon. BLEC supports local schools, libraries, youth sports, veterans' groups, community centers, granges and food banks through its donations program.
Central Electric Cooperative, Redmond, Oregon. CEC and its employees support more than 50 organizations and causes, including childhood health and development, veterans' outreach and food banks. The co-op donated poles and labor to help repair the Oregon Youth Challenge obstacle course.
Clatskanie PUD, Clatskanie, Oregon. Employees and board members donated $3,200 to local food banks.
Consumers Power, Philomath, Oregon. CPI donated to more than a dozen nonprofit organizations and presented electrical safety demonstrations.
Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative, Port Orford, Oregon. CCEC plans and hosts a one-day safety camp for first and second graders. The co-op collected 5,000 pounds of canned food.
Harney Electric Cooperative, Hines, Oregon. Employees volunteer to run fair gates and cook burgers at the Harney County Fair.
Lassen Municipal Utility District, Susanville, California. LMUD sponsors a spring home, garden and outdoor recreation show and Blue Star banners on Main Street saluting those serving in the military.

Scott Alexander reports back from a talk on efficient charity at the Berkeley Faculty Club. A highlight was a section by Robin Hanson of Overcoming Bias fame.
One of his claims that generated the most controversy was that instead of donating money to charity, you should invest the money at compound interest, then donate it to charity later after your investment has paid off – preferably just before you die, since donating money after death is legally complicated. His argument, nice and simple, was that the real rate of return on investment has been higher than the growth rate for 3000 years and this pattern shows no signs of changing. If you donate the money today, your donation grows with the growth rate, but if you invest it, it grows with the interest rate. He gave his classic example of Benjamin Franklin, who put his relatively meager earnings into a trust fund to be paid out two hundred years later; when they did, the money had grown to $7 million. He said that the reason people didn't do this was that they wanted the social benefits of having given money away, which are unavailable if you wait until just before you die to do so.
Then he started talking about how you should only ever donate to one charity – the most effective. I'd heard this one before and even written essays speaking in favor of it, but it's always been very hard for me and I've always chickened out. What Robin added was, once again, a psychological argument – that the reason this is so hard is that if charity is showing that you care, you want to show that you care about a lot of different things. Only donating to one charity robs you of opportunities to feel good when the many targets of your largesse come up and burdens you with scope insensitivity (my guess is that most people would feel more positive affect about someone who saved a thousand dogs and one cat than someone who saved two thousand dogs. The first person saved two things, the second person only saved one.) In retrospect this is absolutely true and my gibbering recoil at this problem isn't just Yet Another Cognitive Bias but just good old self-interest.
He said that the world is getting better so quickly that we are running out of good to be done. After the initial burst of astonishment he explained: in the 1960s, the most cost-effective charity was childhood vaccinations, but now so many people have donated to this cause that 80% of children are vaccinated and the remainder are unreachable for really good reasons (like they're in violent tribal areas of Afghanistan or something) and not just because no one wants to pay for them. In the 1960s, iodizing salt might have been the highest-utility intervention, but now most of the low-iodine areas have been identified and corrected. While there is still much to be done, we have run out of interventions quite as easy and cost-effective as those. And one day, God willing, we will end malaria and maybe we will never see a charity as effective as the Against Malaria Fund again.
Lots of thought-provoking ideas, highly recommended (h/t to Marginal Revolution).
While it's true that much of charity donation work is self-serving, it feels like a worthwhile indulgence. The anonymous donor is the most noble of donors, but I shudder to think of how much charity funds would shrink if all donations had to be kept anonymous. Your name on a scrolling list on a web page, a plaque on a sidewalk, or in the end credits under Special Thanks is, in the scheme of things, a low price to pay.


Some one suggested that I run Benol in my engine to get a little more performance. I went to a local motorcycle shop that carries it but they were all out and they tried to push some 927 on me. I know the Benol is used around here on quads and dirt bikes as is the 927 but is it ok for the smaller engines? Or will the 927 be fine? What do you all run? Im currently running Klotz in my motors and they seem to run just fine.
BTW, my motors are ESP full modded/stroked 27.2 and the same but in a 30.5.
RE: What kind of oil do you use?
927 is a good oil.. any good quality syn oil is good....Amsoil Blade ...I my self like Klotz..has a good smell to it as well..
i like klotz thats about all ive used. but iw ould also be interested to see what others are using and if there is a difference in power from one oil or another.
yeh klotz does smell good!
Another vote for Klotz! Ran it for years in my dirtbikes and quads. I also picked up 7 quarts of Golden Spektrum (paid $20 for all of it! ) from a fellow at work so I am in primo 2 stroke mix for years!
Now that the meaning if "is" has gotten so slippery you need to grab it with both hands, we'd better keep an eye on longer words, too.
One's already got so squirmy on us- "synthetic," as in synthetic motor oil.
Most guys know two things about synthetic oils. First, the price is three to four times that of conventional oils. Second, they're not real oil, not made from crude.
News flash: Scratch that second part. Now motor oils derived from crude may be labeled "synthetic." But they still cost over four bucks a quart.
Bait and switch? That's the obvious conclusion. Except in this case the advertising ethics people have given their approval.
Here's what happened, according to a detailed account published in the trade magazine Lubricants World. Late in 1997, Castrol changed the formula of its Syntec "full synthetic motor oil", eliminating the polyalphaolefin (PAO) base stock (that's the "synthetic" part, which makes up about 70% by volume of what's in the bottle) and replacing it with a "hydroisomerized" petroleum base stock.
Mobil Oil Corporation, maker of Mobil 1, "Worlds Leading Synthetic Motor Oil," said no fair and took its complaint to the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. NAD often arbitrates between feuding advertisers on their conflicting claims.
The notion behind synthetic motor oils as we've known them is an elegant one. Instead of relying on the cocktail of hydrocarbons contained in crude oil, why not go into the laboratory and build the perfect base stock from scratch, molecule by molecule, and builds it till it gets 10-carbon molecules, then combines three of those to form PAO. The result is a fluid more stable than the usual base oils derived from crude. It keeps flowing at low temperatures. It's more resistant to boiling off, and more resistant to oxidation, which causes thickening with prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
Still, there's more than one road to the point B of improved stability. Petroleum refiners in recent years have learned how to break apart certain undesirable molecules - wax, for example, which causes thickening of oil at low temperatures- and transform them by chemical reaction into helpful molecules. These new hydroisomerized base oils, in the view of some industry participants provided properties similar to PAO's but only cost half as much," Lubricants World reported.
The argument before NAD tiptoed around the obvious- does the consumer get four bucks' worth of value from each quart of synthetic oil?- and plunged straight into deep semantics. Mobil's experts said "synthetic" traditionally meant big molecules built up from small ones. Castrol's side held out for a looser description, defining "synthetic" as "the product of an intended chemical reaction."
What do unbiased sources say? It turns out that the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the American Petroleum Institute (API) both have technical standards covering motor oils, and both of these organizations in the '90's backed away from their old definitions of "synthetic," leaving lots of room for new interpretations.
The obvious question now: Has the term "synthetic motor oil" been opened up to the point that it no longer means anything? Maybe. But here's a better question: Did synthetic ever mean what we thought it meant?
"Great oil" is what most guys think it means. "At that price, it's gotta be great stuff!"
The synthetics, on the back label, claim compliance with more standards, but even if you know what they mean, they seem beside the point for U.S. passenger cars. For example, should you care about diesels if you drive a gasoline burner? API service CF is the oldest of the current specs for light-duty diesels; some synthetics list that one. Synthetics may also list ACEA A1 and B1, which are European specs roughly equivelant to API gasoline and diesel specs. The Europeans grad their oils by level of performance, so that A2 and A3 are tougher specs than A1. Same for diesels. Usually the date of the spec is omitted, but A1-98 is newer than A1-96.
Completely absent is the one performance claim that would have some real meaning for all of us- some indication of longer oil life. (except for AMSOIL which clearly states 25,000 miles/1-year or 35,000 miles/1-year for their Severe Service 0W-30 synthetic). Automakers hold synthetics to the same oil change intervals as conventional oils. And the oil companies, promise even less. "To give added protection and life to your engine, change your oil every 3000 miles." This same language appears on the back of both Penzoil Synthetic and conventional oils. Valvoline synthetic makes a similar recommendation. (commentary: Since 1972 AMSOIL is the ONLY synthetic oil manufacturer in the world to guarantee 25,000 miles or 35,000 mile oil change intervals and utilizing full PAO synthetic technology exclusively).
Most synthetics mention GM 4718M in their list of claims; that's the unique spec created by General Motors for Corvette oil. It's a high-temperature requirement that tolerates less oxidation (thickening) and volatility (boil-off) on a standard engine test called Sequence 111E according to engineer Bob Olree of GM Powertrain. (note: AMSOIL 0W-30 far surpasses GM's 4718M spec).
But don't expect to learn such details on any label (again, except for AMSOIL which clearly states test results on the back of every bottle of Series 2000 0W-30 and 20W-50 synthetic). Mobil 1 at least uses straight forward declarative sentences. Most of the others read as though they were written by a lawyer looking for an escape clause. Why else would the following claim be so rubbery? "Penzoil Synthetic motor oil is recommended for use in all engines requiring ILSACGF-1, GF-2, API SJ, SH, or SG, and in engines requiring oils meeting GM 4718M." Okay, but does it actually pass those standards?
"Yes" says James Newsom, Penzoil's motor-oil product manager.
Castrol Syntec, on its label, "exceeds" every standard it mentions. Hmm. Now that the meaning of "is" is in play, I have to wonder, does Syntec meet those standards as well?
"It does" says Castrol's Julie Ann Oberg. While I have her on the phone, I ask if there will be a Syntec price reduction now that the lower-cost base stock has been substituted for the old synthetic. She says no.
You want a blend of synthetic and castor. They are talking about nigto fuel in this cut and past but same thing as with gasser when it comes to the oil part!
he oil portion of the nitro fuel blend is very interesting. Over the years, there has been much debate and changing recommendations. First there was castor oil. Then there were synthetics. Some fuels have been blended with all castor oil and some with all synthetic oils. Today, most nitro fuels contain a combination of both synthetic and castor oil. Castor oil is a naturally occurring oil that is derived from a plant. It is a natural lubricant that has some very unique properties. When subjected to higher temperatures, castor oils will actually begin to break down. Normally, this would be a bad thing for a lubricant to do in an internal combustion engine. However, in the case of castor oil, this "breaking down" is one of it's greatest strengths! When castor oil breaks down at high temperatures, it's properties change and it's high temperature lubricating properties actually increase! As engine temperatures go up further, the castor oil continues to break down and forms a lubricating film that actually protects the engine better. In the process, this film or residue (like varnish) can also gum up the engine and cause other problems. On the other hand, synthetic oils typically are much cleaner and normally do not leave residues behind. Synthetic oils can help lubricating metal surfaces at higher RPM's when temperatures are lower. However, when temperatures rise, synthetic oils can break down and actually burn off leaving little protection for the engine. So, there are strengths and weaknesses of both castor and synthetic oils. Thankfully, most modern rc trucks run on nitro fuel blends that utilize the strengths of each type of oil, and contains a blend of both castor and synthetic oils to help offer maximum protection for the nitro engine under many different conditions.
No this article was written for Amsoil ......this is the rest of the article promoting Amsoil synthetic Why would I show a article on nitro gas?
Now, after reading that why would anybody in their right mind want to spend their hard-earned money on Castrol Syntec, Penzoil Synthetic, Valvoline Synthetic or any of the other "synthetics" when what your getting is not even a true 100% full PAO synthetic? Even Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic uses multiple base-stock technology by blending other synthetic molecules with the PAO base-stocks and then they come up with a catchy name of Tri-Synthetic. Pretty sneaky huh? AMSOIL moved away from multiple base-stock technology over 20 years ago!, yet Mobil makes it sound like their Tri-Synthetic technology is some new earth-shattering technology. What a joke!
Why not skip all the hype and deception of these other manufacturers and just use AMSOIL? AMSOIL uses only 100% full synthetic PAO technology in each and everyone of its motor oils and is the undisputed leader in synthetic engine oil technology as well as the leader in synthetic gear lubes, transmission fluid, greases, two-cycle oil and many other lubricants and hydraulic fluids. Today, virtually every other motor oil manufacturer has recognized the superiority of synthetic lubricants and has followed the AMSOIL lead with introductions of "synthetic" motor oils.
Klotz here, though most recently I used some of the HPI stock stuff.
First of in nitro fuel there is not any gas in it. Second when it comes to lubrication on a 2 cycle engine whether fuel or gas it is basically the same. Your cut and past is from someone trying to sell there oil![X(] The cut and past I listed is from an article that is not trying to sell anything. I Tried Amsoil in my 4 stroke motorcycle ONCE and will never run it again. Been a motorcycle mechanic and machinist for over 30 years.
Here is the link that I posted the cut and past from.
Run what you want but I will not run full synthetic in my nitro or gasser RC.
i'm using klotz...and mix with castor oil just for the smell..
side question guys, what brand of oil thus make the smoke smell like in motocross?..i know when i add castor oil i can get the smell but i don't want to keep doin this..
BTW - What's the percentage of oil that you use? I usually use 1:25 (4%), but should it be different while running a new motor? And afterwards? Or should I always use 1:25 ratio?

Talking to Kelly Simm
Britain's recent busiest international gymnast Kelly Simm has kindly found the time in her incredibly hectic schedule to talk to British Gymnewstics about her recent competitions, coming through the challenge cup route onto the British team, her training schedule, national squad, competing for Great Britain, growing up at Dynamo, all the impressive upgrades she has debuted this year, and her advice for young gymnasts.
First of all, congratulations on your success in Gwangju, you've been competing a lot recently, and it seemed that everything came together for the AA final. You appeared relaxed and prepared, would you say that that competing at the FIT Challenge, then in Baku helped build your competitive confidence?
Thank you! Yes I'd defiantly say that these competitions helped build my confidence going into Gwangju. The FIT challenge and Baku were both big competitions that I learned so much from. I had some good personal achievements from both of these but also some big disappointments. I know how important international experience is now and that defiantly all helped me in Gwangju.
How did having Keith Richardson, your personal coach from Dynamo, help you, especially as you didn't have a team around you?
I was really happy to have my coach at this competition with me and I think it helped me a lot. We were able to keep training like we normally do when we got out to Gwangju and we didn't think about any outcomes or results- we just had a lot of fun! I obviously missed not having the girls there but they were all so supportive when I was there!
Can we talk about your upgrades? You have debuted a completely new vault, joined the elite club of very few gymnasts competing a full in off beam, added the rarely ever seen whip to full in on floor, and then there is bars where not only did you impress everyone with a Ray-Tkatchev earlier in the year, you then debuted your own move, the in-bar or stoop stalder to piked Tkatchev. Who comes up with your upgrades, is it all your coaches, or do you have input into skills you'd like to try?
My coaches Keith (Mr R) and Debbie come up with the majority of the upgrades, but now I'm a bit older they talk to me about them too- sometimes I get a say in the ones I like or don't like the sound of and sometimes I don't!
Which of the upgrades took you the longest to get competition ready?
They all took a while to build up and to get confident with as you need to get a lot of repetitions in to make you feel more confident with new skills. We decided not to compete all upgrades in the recent competitions and focus on just a few but have continued to work them all in the background for future competitions.
Did you initially think 'I'm never going to get that!' for any of them?
Yes – most of them! When he first mentioned some of the skills or combinations I thought it was crazy and couldn't imagine myself doing them! However I can tell that he believes I can do them so I trust him.
Are you planning to upgrade further this year on any piece?
Yes we are always thinking about upgrading, it's important to always have skills in the background even if you don't use them in the upcoming competitions to make sure you keep improving.
*As well as seeing a couple of Kelly's potential future upgrades earlier in the year, Kelly's coach Debbie Richardson shared the direction her bars will be going from here, prepare to be even more impressed when the time comes!
Looking back for a moment, can you share a little about developing into an elite gymnast and finally onto the Great Britain Squad? Having finished 18th then 17th at the British as a junior, you came flying into the senior ranks with an 8th place finish AA in your first year. You are a great example of a gymnast working her way steadily through the compulsory and voluntary levels. While some of your Dynamo team mates were on the national junior squads, you really started to shine at national level when were a little older, being selected as a senior on to the national squad.
I started gymnastics at dynamo when I was 6 years old. I really enjoyed it and loved being in the gym with my friends. My hours slowly started to increase and I started competing in the grades and levels competitions with the rest of my teammates each year and then went on to do compulsories where I passed compulsory 3 but then failed compulsory 2. This meant I had to do the challenge cup in order to get back onto the elite path. I passed the challenge cup after the second time doing it which meant I could compete in the British championships the following year, which was when I got selected for the England squad. I was in the squad for three years before I got selected for the GB squad when I turned senior.
What was your training schedule like as a young gymnast? At what age if any did you start to take time out of school for extra training?
When I was about 11 I started missing one afternoon of school a week for extra training which would mean I would do two sessions of 3 hours on a Thursday instead of just one evening session. This then gradually increased over the years to missing 4 afternoons a week of school by the middle of secondary school.
When did you first begin to realise you were catching up with the gymnasts who had been at the top of the junior ranks, and were now among the best in the country?
I think in the last couple of years when I started to trial for major competitions and was coming close to making the team that I realised that I was there or there abouts with the other girls. I could feel myself improving each year and I hope I can continue to do that.
Do you remember your first first national squad? Were you nervous?
I remember being invited to my first national squad after the English championships when I was first year senior. This is very late to be invited to the squad as the majority of gymnasts have gone up through the GB squad or had got in before reaching senior so I was very nervous! I remember it being very overwhelming seeing all the top GB gymnasts there and I felt really out of place! Everyone was so nice though and made me feel welcome!
Coming back to the present, you have now competed at World Championships, European Games, Commonwealth Games, and Universiade as well as many internationals. Can you describe what it means to you to be selected to compete for your country, to make it though the trials, on to the team, and step up to the podium with the Union Jack on your leotard? Are you able to treat it as just another competition, what do you say to yourself as you wait for the signal to start your routines?
It means so much to me to be selected for these amazing competitions. I have worked so hard with my coaches to make it onto teams for a long time and have just missed out on being selected a lot! I think when you have come so close so many times it makes it more special when you do get selected! Being on these teams is always such an honour and I would have never imagined being in the position I'm in and having done everything I've done when I was younger! It's hard to treat the big competitions as just another competition but I feel like that's what I'm learning to do more now, I think experience defiantly helps. I try to just think about each skill at a time.
Clearly you are aiming for World Championships this year, and Rio 2016, as Beth Tweddle chose to do, continuing with your studies while doing this. Are you taking a year out through 2016, or does being at university help to give you a focus outside gymnastics?
I think it's really important to have a focus outside gymnastics and university has defiantly been this for me. I love the course (sports science) and find it so relatable to gymnastics- and I have a great group of friends there. I am lucky that my university is very supportive of my gymnastics and is only 15minutes away from the gym and my home so it's easy to get between them all. Next year I am transferring my course from full time to part time so I will still be going to uni, just spreading the units of my second year out over two years instead of one, as there is a lot of work involved which can be very time consuming and tiring!
Did/ will you ever consider joining the increasing numbers of British gymnasts heading to America and competing NCAA collegiate gymnastics?
I have never really had an interest in competing in collegiate gymnastics. I'm really close to my family and love the environment I train in. However it does look really fun and I love watching the girl's floors routines out there!
Can you describe your day to day training schedule now, what sort of hours you are doing over how many sessions, and do you have a set schedule in the gym each day conditioning/dance/apparatus/flexibility wise?
Now I do double sessions 4 days a week, each session is about three hours with roughly an hour break in between and one longer session on a Saturday. We don't really have a set schedule each day, it depends on what we have coming up whether that's competitions or time to work on new elements. In the afternoons the gym is normally pretty empty so we can spend as much time on any apparatus and then in the evenings the rest of the squad is in so that's usually a bit more structured with set times of around 40mintues on each apparatus.
Which areas would you say you have to work hardest on in the gym, what area of your gymnastics would you like to improve the most?
We have to work hard on every aspect in the gym, as it's all really important but we have been trying to work on improving my execution on all apparatus and are continuing to work on this
How often do you attend Lilleshall for national squad, and how does the training schedule there differ from your club session?
We are usually at lilleshall at least once a month now, but are there a lot more leading up to major competitions. Its nice to train with all the GB girls, we all get along really well but the training is very intense. There is a programme set on each apparatus and we have certain amounts of time on each piece, so its all quite fast paced.
Finally, as a young gymnast you grew up at Dynamo with national squad gymnasts to look up to and aspire to, and you are now in that position yourself. What would you say to younger gymnasts in the early years of the elite path:
To help get through a bad day at training?
As frustrating as they are there are going to be bad days in the gym. I try and find one positive of that session or one skill that did go well instead of focusing on what went wrong which makes it easier to forget about it and come back the next day ready to make it better.
To cope with a disappointing competition?
Having a disappointing competition is horrible as you work so hard for so many years. I would say try and look at it as experience that you can learn from ready for your next competition.
To encourage them to work at the parts they find the hardest?
If you want to keep improving then you need to work on everything including the things you find the hardest.
A huge thank you to Kelly for sharing her experiences for fans of the sports, and also for those young gymnasts hoping to follow in her footsteps.
