Onlinekhabar April 4, 2020
Ministry of Health spokesperson Dr Bikas Devkota
Kathmandu, April 4
With three new confirmed cases of coronavirus infection in Nepal including the first case of infection in a person who had not travelled outside the country recently, the government has announced that the country has entered the second stage of virus transmission.
In his daily press briefing on Saturday, the Ministry of Health spokesperson Bikas Devkota said the country entered the second stape as the virus began attacking the person who was not abroad recently.
Consequently, Devkota urged the public to support government initiatives in controlling the infection. He also said those quarantined could have to stay there for a longer period.
The person who got infected with the virus without going abroad has been said to be a sister-in-law of another Covid-19 patient was had recently returned from another country. Whenever the infection is transmitted in the family, it is considered the second stage, according to the ministry's expert Dr Khem Karki. If neighbours are also found to be infected, that will be the third stage, according to him.
So far, Nepal has recorded nine coronavirus positive cases. The first case detected in January is said to be recovered whereas eight others detected in the past two weeks are active. Except for the latest case confirmed today, all eight cases had recently returned to Nepal from other countries.

The 1996 Aprilia RS250, with its sportbike styling and superior performance, was the breakthrough bike for its young company. See more motorcycle pictures.
The 1996 Aprilia RS250 motorcycle put an upstart Italian bike manufacturer on the map with its racer look and raceworthy performance.
Aprilia arrived on the motorcycle scene only recently, but has already made a big splash in Europe.
Starting as a small bicycle manufacturer, the Italian company did not build its first motorcycles until the mid 1970s. The first examples were mopeds, quickly followed by small trail bikes. All used proprietary engines made by outside manufacturers.
Some of the company's racing bikes were powered by engines built in-house, but most of these carried proprietary units, too. One of the latter, fitted with a Rotax engine, proved fairly successful in the late Eighties, and capitalizing on its victories put Aprilia's 125- and 250-cc road bikes in the limelight.
Though scooters and mopeds contributed mightily to Aprilia's meteoric rise during the 1990s, its RS250 sportbike was what really made the company take off.
Powered by a highly tuned version of a Suzuki two-stroke V-twin, it was essentially a road racer for the street, and proved very popular.
Helped by the success of the RS250, Aprilia grew into one of Europe's largest motorcycle producers. One of its more notable efforts was the Pegaso 650. Combining a trail bike's suspension and large single-cylinder engine with sportbike styling, the Pegaso was a huge hit, prompting a whole new class of bikes in Europe.


He knows what it's like to have none. He was just 17 years old when his sister died of tuberculosis. He is well aware that losing someone important is terrible, so he decided he wants to serve people.
He is Sanduk Ruit, an eye doctor from Nepal who has restored the sight of 100,000 people with his 5-minute procedure.
Based on WHO data, 90 percent of the world's blind are in poverty-stricken areas and 80 percent of them are unnecessarily blind because they can't afford a treatment.
Considered by many as a "miracle worker," Ruit has spent most of his life helping the needy by restoring their damaged eyes. He believed that everyone deserves to have an access to a quality health service.
Driven by his passion to help the poor as much as he can, Ruit managed to find a way to treat his patients in just a short amount of time and teaches it to other eye doctors so they could also help cure as many blind people.
The five-minute technique involves making a small cut in the eye of the patient and removing the cataract that's causing the hazy vision, then put an inexpensive synthetic lens.
In 1994, the incredible doctor teamed up with late Australian ophthalmologist and philanthropist Fred Hollows to establish an eye hospital in Kathmandu called Tilganga.
Aside from providing excellent eye care service to the citizens of Nepal, the hospital also produces their own high-quality lenses for patients suffering from cataracts or myopia and supply 30 countries across the world.
For those who live in remote areas and can't come to Tilganga Hospital, Ruit and his team regularly travel to far-flung villages and conduct operation on makeshift operating tables in tents, classrooms, and animal barns.
The most rewarding part of their mission is when it's time to remove the eye patch the next day after the operation. The look of happiness on the faces of their patients are just so touching.
So in commemoration of Tiganga Eye Hospital's 20th anniversary, Australian photographer Michael Amendiola publicized some of his most compelling photographs since early 1990s, showing pure joy and heartfelt gratitude of people who were given a chance to see the world again by Dr. Ruit.
One of the most touching images in the collection of photographs is an image of an 80-year-old North Korean man who was able to see his son again after 10 years.
"Of course, the man who's had the operation, is so relieved because he can see again, but the whole family suddenly have a family member who can participate again in everything that happens at home," he said.
Ruit, who also grew up in a small, remote town in the Himalayas had to walk for a week to get to the nearest school. So he understand how it's like to be in his patient's shoes.
Poverty, that's what pushed him to help and treat people as many as he can.
"I am so grateful that I can make a difference in so many people's lives," Ruit, who is fondly known as the "God of Sight", said. But today, at age 59, he still believes he has so much left to do.

In her latest exhibition Megan Jenkinson continues her exploration into optical phenomena and the subtleties and complexities of vision, with two new series of works. The fugitive qualities of light are cleverly demonstrated by the use of the lenticular lens, where the image is laminated on to a finely ridged plastic. Colour pulsates and shifts throughout the viewer's line of sight.
'The Heavens Opened series of skyscapes attempts to re-invigorate the conception that epiphanies are frequently awakened, or at least accompanied, by an awe-inspiring natural event, or even a sudden re-view of nature. Late Renaissance paintings of dramatic Biblical events such as the apocalypse, crucifixion, deposition, and resurrection were the starting point for this series. In The Heavens Opened, however, the emphasis shifts from the central human drama to the atmospheric backdrop. The skies undergo further shifts as they reverse or change into other vivid or extreme colours. In this way they echo the secondary figures the gestures of which reiterate the emotional content of the scene, and whose brightly coloured clothes act as a counterpoint to the pallid flesh of the dying Christ. Only the colours remain as a lurid afterimage of the emotions of loss and despair.
The Spectrals series is inspired by the Farbenlehreor 'Theory of Colour' written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1810 – in particular his writings on fugitive colours and transient visual effects. Some of these effects he called 'physiological', for they are created by the influence of colour and light on sight, which results in phenomena such as afterimages. Other effects he described as 'physical' which includes auras created by certain lighting conditions. Goethe described these effects in great detail and his descriptions follow his dictum that Nature is best understood through close observation.
By making afterimages manifest in visual form they become more substantial and lasting than they are in reality. We are able to see them as visual delights instead of irritating deceptions. However I am also aware that the elusiveness of the afterimage is what makes them so alluring, which is why the lenticular print process is so suited to these works, for such images can similarly never be fixed.
The Atmospheric Optics series draws together two parallel paths. First, an interest in the visual qualities of unstable, atmospheric effects such as mirages and the Aurora Australis phenomena, and second the exploratory and scientific descriptions and analyses of such effects. On the one hand the assertively objective view of science setting out to explain the world. On the other hand the unique, strange, and unworldly experience of a monochromatic and uninhabited landscape, that just when it is at its darkest and most lifeless, in the middle of the Polar night, it is lit up by the visually spectacular explosions of celestial colour.

The problem with America is not Donald Trump
January 23, 2018 | 2:47 pm
By Daniel McCarthy
https://thespectator.com/topic/the-problem-with-america-is-not-donald-trump/
Something has gone horribly wrong in America, but it isn't Donald Trump. The 45th president's first year has in fact been a very good year for the country. By the time those 12 months were up, the unemployment rate was the lowest the country had seen in 18 years, and the number of new filings for unemployment benefits was at a 45-year record low.

Something has gone horribly wrong in America, but it isn't Donald Trump. The 45th president's first year has in fact been a very good year for the country. By the time those 12 months were up, the unemployment rate was the lowest the country had seen in 18 years, and the number of new filings for unemployment benefits was at a 45-year record low. Even black Americans were doing better under Trump than they did under the first black president: by the start of 2018 the black unemployment rate was the lowest it had been since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started keeping count. For all that his enemies insist that Trump's electoral appeal was really about race, in 2016 Trump made jobs the centrepiece of campaign. And now Americans are working again in numbers not seen since the tail end of the booming 1990s.
Wall Street has also enjoyed a sustained rally since Trump became president. In the wake of the tax reforms passed by the Republican Congress and signed into law by Trump, major corporations that had been sheltering money overseas have announced they are repatriating the profits, with Apple leading the way and bringing home most of the $252 billion the company has been holding overseas. That will generate an immediate windfall to the U.S. Treasury to the tune of $38 billion. And that's just one company.
Taxes will fall for some 70 percent of Americans once the new law takes effect. Trump has delivered on what the pro-business and anti-tax base of the Republican Party expects, though the country as a whole will benefit as a result. (Trump has not yet, alas cut spending to offset the tax cuts' impact on the deficit, but these are early days yet.) Conservatives and all Americans who believe in a strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution can also celebrate victory in the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, a wise pick by Trump, whose judicial appointments have almost uniformly been in keeping with the Republican right's expectations. On the economy and on judges, this is the most success conservatives have had since the Reagan era.
Trump has been a stalwart on religious liberty as well, increasing protections for believers (not just Christians) who felt their freedoms being whittled away under the socially progressive—or gradually revolutionary—Obama administration. Yet this does not mean that legal protections for sexual minorities have been compromised. As the libertarian Cato Institute's Walter Olson has noted, 'the "assault on LGBTQ equality" predicted by the Huffington Post and many others hasn't happened' and while 'organized gay and anti-gay groups keep their respective bases in a constant state of alarm,' in fact 'the actual course being steered is centrist.'
Something similar can be said about foreign policy under Donald Trump. Hawkish neoconservatives who pine for the good old days of the Iraq War lambaste Trump and his administration as 'isolationists,' while Obamaphiles claim that Trump and his gang are about to start World War III. Yet here too, Trump has avoided the extremes, by instinct if not by grand design. The campaign against Isis proceeded with focus and firmness, robbing the would-be caliphate of the territory it had infested. The demands of the hawks—the Hillary Clinton types not less than the George W. Bush fan club—for fighting two wars at once in Syria, against Bashar Assad as well as Isis, were largely ignored by Trump and his team. This is not to say that there are not grave risks in the commitment of U.S. troops, even in small numbers, to parts of Syria to underwrite nation-building efforts. In Syria and in Afghanistan, Trump has not yet managed to find a way out of the trap of indefinite military commitments to secure a simulacrum of peace. But in this, Trump is no different from Obama or Bush. Where he is different is in so far avoiding the temptations of 'regime change' of the sort that Bush carried out in Iraq and Obama in Libya. Although such misadventures are often undertaken in the name of 'promoting democracy,' what they actually amount to is promoting Islamist radicalism.
North Korea remains a nuclear nuisance, as it has been for decades. Trump's personal approach to dealing with Kim Jong-un, via Twitter, is unorthodox, to say the least. But orthodox efforts by the U.S. foreign policy establishment to prevent North Korea from further developing its missiles and nuclear weapons have proven unsuccessful. The challenge calls for creativity—which is not to say that Twitter diplomacy is the way to go. But the rethinking that must take place about U.S. policy toward North Korea, and in East Asia more generally, must be institutional, and it must be profound: not the president, but strategists at all levels of government, and outside of it, have to look with new eyes upon the most populous and potentially hazardous region of the world.
Trump's domestic record is superb, and in foreign policy he has yet to repeat the follies of his predecessors, though the task of reorienting American strategy—away from hegemonism and delusions of global policing—of necessity proceeds at a painfully slow pace.
Similarly slow is the pace of changing other politicians' minds about infrastructure and industrial policy. Trump understands the need for greater investment in infrastructure, and the sheer insanity of the United States attempting 'nation building' abroad while roads, bridges, and schools fall to pieces at home was one of Trump's most effective themes on the campaign trail. Trump likewise knows better than the lifelong politicians in both parties that American workers suffer as a result of being abandoned by their government while other countries practice open or covert economic nationalism. Yet very little will happen on either of these fronts until Republican politicians in Congress and the states wise up. Donald Trump is only the beginning of a populist retrenchment, one that faces great adversity from a well-entrenched globalist political class.
And that, rather than anything to do with Trump's presidency, is what has gone horribly wrong in America. The broader ruling class in the country, the wealthy and politically connected, the best educated and most widely heard, have abandoned their countrymen. The very concept of citizenship, to say nothing of placing one's fellow citizens above those whose loyalties are to other states and cultures, has fallen out of vogue among America's most privileged. The nation and the citizen have been the core of Donald Trump's appeal-the common denominator in his emphasis on immigration, jobs, industry, and America First in foreign policy—yet even within his own party, the globalist ideology of the 1990s staggers on. This, and not Donald Trump's temperament or tweets, is the real menace to the country: an elite that has lost the trust of the people because the people knows what the elite will not admit—namely, that it despises them.

Palestinians' presence in al-Quds best policy to foil Israel plot: Nasrallah
Friday, 08 June 2018 5:54 PM [ Last Update: Friday, 08 June 2018 6:31 PM ]
Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, addresses his supporters via a televised speech broadcast live from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut on the occasion of the international Quds Day on June 8, 2018.
The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has described the presence of Palestinian population in various districts of Jerusalem al-Quds, and their participation in Muslim religious rituals across the occupied city as the best polices to thwart the Israeli regime's attempts to change its demographics.
Addressing his supporters via a televised speech broadcast live from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut on the occasion of the International Quds Day, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stated that many countries have rejected US President Donald Trump's decision to move the American diplomat mission in the occupied territories to Jerusalem al-Quds, and that his much touted "deal of the century" aims to terminate the Palestinian cause.
Nasrallah added that Israeli officials have been seeking to change the demographic make-up of Jerusalem al-Quds ever since the Tel Aviv regime was created in 1967.
The Hezbollah chief noted that the Lebanese people marked this year's Quds Day in the southern village of Maroun al-Ras as it lies on the border with occupied Palestinian lands.
"The occupying regime (of Israel) has failed to change al-Quds demography despite considerable efforts over the past years. Palestinians are resolved to stay in their homes, and they need the full support of Arab and Muslims to achieve such a goal," he pointed out.
Nasrallah also criticized Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for their efforts to persuade other Muslim countries that Israelis reserve a right in Palestine.
"They falsify and distort the meanings of holy Quran verses in a bid to protect their regimes through obeying US orders, recognizing the Zionist regime (of Israel) and eradicating the Palestinian cause," he commented.
The Hezbollah secretary general went on to say that some treacherous Arab businessmen are buying Palestinian homes in Jerusalem al-Quds, and then selling them to extremist settlers.
Nasrallah also made it clear the new generation of the Palestinian nation has no fear of Israeli bullets at all, and is pressing ahead with anti-occupation protest rallies.
He further highlighted that this year's Quds Day demonstrations were staged worldwide; and that Yemenis – irrespective of Saudi airstrikes and crippling Saudi-led naval and aerial blockade – took part in a massive rally to express their unwavering support for Palestine and its nation.
PressTV-Syrian air defenses intercept Israeli missiles
Syrian air defenses intercepted several Israeli rockets after the Tel Aviv regime targeted Syrian army positions in the occupied Golan Heights.
The Hezbollah chief then criticized Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifah over his support for Israel's missile attack on occupied Golan Heights.
"Saudi Arabia and some Arab countries tend to arrest all those who advocate the Palestinian cause and call for anti-Israel demonstrations.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has supported Palestine since the victory of the Islamic Revolution back in 1979. It has paid a heavy price for such a stance. All those countries that hold hostilities against Iran should consider themselves as Israel's allies. All those expecting the fall of Iran's Islamic establishment should also well know that they are under delusion," Nasrallah pointed out.
He then described Syria as the main pivot of the anti-Israel resistance front, emphasizing that the Israeli regime must now come to terms with the fact that its plots to end the resistance front there have resulted in abject failure.
"Hezbollah fighters were deployed to Syria at the request of the Damascus government. The fall of the incumbent Syrian administration would have been catastrophic for the anti-Israel resistance front. We will stay in Syria as long as the Syrian government wants and will withdraw once we are officially demanded to do so," Nasrallah concluded.

The Director General of UNESCO condemns the destruction of historic buildings in the Old City of Sana'a, Yemen
Old City of Sana'a © UNESCO / Anna Paolini
In the early hours of 12 June 2015, the Old City of Sana'a, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was hit by a bombing raid. Several houses and historic buildings were destroyed, causing human casualties. Among the buildings destroyed was the magnificent complex of traditional houses in the Al-Qasimi neighborhood, bordering an urban garden (Miqshama), near the Sailah water channel.
"I am profoundly distressed by the loss of human lives as well as by the damage inflicted on one of the world's oldest jewels of Islamic urban landscape. I am shocked by the images of these magnificent many-storeyed tower-houses and serene gardens reduced to rubble. This destruction will only exacerbate the humanitarian situation and I reiterate my call to all parties to respect and protect cultural heritage in Yemen. This heritage bears the soul of the Yemeni people, it is a symbol of a millennial history of knowledge and it belongs to all humankind" declared the Director General.
Sana'a has been inhabited for more than 2,500 years and bears witness to the wealth and beauty of the Islamic civilization. By the first century AD, it emerged as a centre of the inland trade route and its houses and public buildings are an outstanding example of a traditional, Islamic human settlement. Sana's dense rammed earth and burnt brick towers, strikingly decorated, are famous around the world and are an integral part of Yemen's identity and pride.
Since the beginning of the conflict in Yemen, several houses within the heritage city of Sana'a have suffered damage and collapses as a consequence of shelling and explosions. On 9 June, the Ottoman era Al-Owrdhi historical compound, located just outside the walls of the Old City, were severely damaged. Historic residential buildings, monuments, museums, archaeological sites and places of worship have not been spared. The historic value and memories enshrined in these sites have been irreparably damaged or destroyed.

The partisan races for two seats on the Summit County Council and seven department-head positions got off to a strong start Friday. afternoon on the first day of the filing window, five incumbent department heads filed for re-election and there was a three-way race for the sheriff's post.
The filing window is particularly short this year, just five working days, and will be closely followed by the political parties' neighborhood caucuses where delegates to the county and state conventions will be selected.
Scot Carlson, a Park City resident with 23 years of professional financial experience, declared his intent to run for the position of auditor, which is currently held by Blake Frazier (D), who is not seeking re-election. Carlson will run as a Democrat.
"I have 23 years of progressively senior financial positions, primarily with Black Diamond," Carlson said.
Current Summit County Attorney David Brickey (R) and his challenger, former District Court Judge Robert Hilder (D), both filed for county attorney Friday morning, and were engaged in friendly conversation, recounting past experiences in District Court together.
Hilder said more focus needs to be placed on the Civil Division of the Attorney's Office and that less money should be "wasted" on disputes and litigation rather than good legal counsel.
Brickey stressed more focus on the civil side of the office as well, and said continued development of the Drug Court is crucial.
Current Assessor Steve Martin (D), from Oakley, was the only candidate to file for the position as of Friday. He said he enjoys what he does and wants to continue. He said is involved with the Multi-County Appraisal Trust's effort to develop an assessing software program for all 29 counties.
County Council members Chris Robinson (D) and Dave Ure (R) are both up for re-election. Both have declared their intent to run, and Robinson filed early Friday morning. He said he adds value to the Council and brings experience in land use and environmental issues.
"My main [concern] is how we perpetuate our quality of life. That entails how we allow ourselves to grow, how we preserve the environment, how we can prosper economically and how we can keep clean air and water," Robinson said.
Craig Williams, a Park City resident and market interface manager with the Western Electricity Coordinating Council, filed to run as a Republican against Robinson on Friday afternoon.
"We need to be using natural resources wisely and balance economic growth. We need to give sustainable jobs for our kids [as well as] protect our environment," Williams said.
Current Clerk Kent Jones (D) filed for candidacy on Friday morning. Jones had expressed reluctance that he was going to apply last year due to a potential merging of the Clerk's Office with the Auditor's Office, but that did not happen.
On Friday afternoon, local real estate agent Nick Coleman told The Park Record that he intends to file for the Republican nomination for the clerk position early next week. Coleman is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who believes his experience with technology and IT would serve him well as clerk.
Recorder MaryAnn Trussell (D) filed on Friday morning to keep her post, saying she is dedicated to serving the public. She added that she is an advocate for property and ownership rights and said that tracking ownership is important for her position.
Treasurer Corrie Forsling (D) filed for re-election on Friday morning and said she is "very proud" of what the Treasurer's Office has accomplished over the last few years, including allowing taxpayers to sign up for monthly debit pre-payments for paying property taxes.
"I'm also looking to increase efficiencies within the office and use the latest technologies to keep us up with the times," Forsling said.
Kamas resident Amy Yost filed Friday afternoon to run as a Republican against Forsling. Yost has been a treasurer with several different companies over the years and has worked in the mortgage and financial services industry for about 20 years.
"I've always thought of myself as pretty patriotic. I've always been involved in the community and I just wanted to get more involved with local government," Yost said.
With Sheriff Dave Edmunds (R) not seeking re-election, three candidates filed for the position on Friday morning: Summit County Sheriff's Capt. Justin Martinez will seek the Democratic nomination while Dax Shane of the Salt Lake City Police Department and Kris Hendricksen of the Utah Valley University Police Department will vie for the Republican nomination.
With the candidate filing window conveniently scheduled the day after the state legislative session, 26th District Sen. Kevin Van Tassell (R-Vernal) filed Friday with the Lieutenant Governor's Office.
53rd District Rep. Melvin Brown (R-Coalville) filed for re-election on Friday afternoon. For 54th District, Summit County Democratic Party Chair Glenn Wright filed on Friday morning, and is set to run against Rep. Kraig Powell (R-Heber City), who has declared his candidacy but has not yet filed.
28th District Rep. Brian King (D-Salt Lake), who represents Summit Park and portions of Pinebrook, had not filed for re-election as of Friday.
Candidates have until Thursday at 5 p.m. to file as a candidate.

En task force (alt. joint task force el. combined task force) er en sammensat styrke der arbejder frem mod et fælles mål. Task force kan oversættes til "arbejdsgruppe", "ekspertgruppe" eller "afdeling med særlig opgave", men oftest bruges "task force" på dansk – med og uden mellemrum.

Anvendelsen er oftest i militær sammenhæng, hvor en task force er en – ofte multinational – sammenslutning af kampenheder, der opererer under et givent mandat; f.eks. et FN-mandat.
Sammenslutningen stiller f.eks. land-, flåde- og flystyrker eller civile støttefunktioner til rådighed for en fælles organisation med henblik på at løse en given opgave.

Begrebet finder også anvendelse på Wikipedia, som f.eks. har en AA-Taskforce, der er en sammensat styrke der arbejder frem mod at opnå højre artikelkvalitet gennem flere anbefalede artikler. AA-Taskforcen er delt op i mindre taskforces efter nogle fokusområder f.eks. Taskforce Metal der "har til mål at standardisere og forbedre artikler som har forbindelse til heavy metal og dennes undergenrer, såvel som at oprette manglende artikler og sikre at heavy metal-relaterede artikler er repræsenteret blandt de anbefalede artikler".

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democrat Bob Casey has won a third U.S. Senate term from Pennsylvania on Tuesday, beating Republican congressman and Donald Trump supporter Lou Barletta in a state the president won two years ago.
Casey's victory gives him another six-year term in office and ensures that President Trump will have another swing state opponent in the closely divided Senate.
The 58-year-old son of the late governor of the same name has now won six statewide elections, including wins in races for state treasurer and auditor general.
The race was a far cry from Pennsylvania's record-breaking $170 million race in 2016, coming at under $40 million while control for the Senate was waged in perhaps a dozen other states.
Barletta, 62, is one of Trump's biggest allies on Capitol Hill and drew two presidential visits to Pennsylvania to help rally support for his candidacy.
But Barletta never gained traction against Casey, and was heavily outspent while getting virtually no outside help from GOP groups to overcome Casey's heavy fundraising advantage and built-in recognition as a household name in Pennsylvania politics.
"We're of course thinking about his life of service and his life of commitment to our commonwealth," Casey said.
On the campaign trail, Casey pounded Trump's tax-cutting law as a giveaway to the wealthy and corporations while middle-class wages stagnate. Casey opposed Trump's immigration policies and voted against Trump's nominees for Supreme Court while he stitched together support from liberals and his longtime allies in organized labor.
Barletta was first elected to Congress in 2010, catapulted by his efforts to combat illegal immigration while serving as mayor the small northeastern city of Hazleton.
Trump asked Barletta to run, and Barletta campaigned on Trump's policies and record, particularly immigration, where their views dovetailed.
Barletta cried foul, saying an ad featuring a woman whose twin daughters were diagnosed with cancer was particularly cruel to his family because it mirrored his grandson's plight.
Casey apologized if the ad had caused Barletta and his family any pain. Any similarity had been unintended, Casey said, and the campaign took down the ad in the Scranton TV market. But Casey declined Barletta's request to take down the ad in the rest of the state and his campaign said flatly that Barletta "will be held accountable" for his votes.


Samsung has been busy releasing Android 4.3 updates for its flagship devices for the last few weeks. The next few weeks won't be different too. After the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy S III, the Galaxy Note II is all set to receive its long awaited update. The device has been stuck on the same Android version it shipped with for a year, Android 4.1.2. That is bound to change very soon.
We've already had two builds of the Galaxy Note II test firmware leak out to the public. Indeed there have been a clique of carefully selected users who have been testing more recent builds of the firmware and I happen to know one of them. Most recently, a Note II user in India walked into a service centre and was able to update to 4.3 right away. This means that Samsung is already done with both internal and external testing and that the firmware is ready. Samsung has reportedly been silently releasing the update to its service centres worldwide where there are no strict carrier enforcements so that there is readily available technical support when the OTA updates hit their servers any time now. This is not strange since for all the time that I have known about Samsung service centres this has always been the case: any user can pop in and get an update if it is available for their device either by themselves or with the help of the service centre's stuff. If you are a Galaxy Note II owner, you've not been forgotten, expect the update (MJ9) at your nearest official Samsung service centre, Samsung Kies on your PC and the update tab on your device very soon. While we're not sure of the exact OTA and Kies rollout hour, we could be talking about the next few hours or the next few days.
As is the case with the 4.3 testers who are not mandated to share any details publicly, the guy who first broke this news has since pulled down the tweet further fuelling speculation that the update should be out sooner than we expected.
As you can see from the screenshots below courtesy of the same guy and Sammobile, Android 4.3 for the Galaxy Note II will bring with it a full Samsung Knox implementation unlike the Galaxy S III update that did not include Knox. Also, tabbed browsing, as seen in the earlier leaked test firmwares, will make its way. There are also all the updated apps like S Note and Samsung Apps. I'm not certain if Samsung Wallet will be bundled with this update too. Also, as you can notice, the Google apps like Photos also get an update to the new Play framework so that they are at par with the current Google apps as updated in Android 4.4 KitKat.


Ken's recent paper on a fascinating and clinically-relevant aspect of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma biology has just been accepted to PLoS Genetics. Co-authors included lab alumnist Imran Aslam (now a medicine resident at Johns Hopkins), OHSU collaborator Wolfram Laub, UTHSCSA collaborator Joel Michalek, Harvard collaborators Simone Hettmer and Amy Wagers, JHMI collaborators David Loeb and Bree Wilky and Cleveland Clinic collaborator Brian Rubin.
This is Ken's 8th paper (and 6th first author paper) from his 2 year postdoctoral fellowship in our lab (with one additional first author manuscript soon to be submitted). Amazing productivity for Ken, who is now faculty at Uji Takeda Hospital and Kyoto Prefectural University.
The study above was made possible by funding from the NCI.
Eri & Ken's co-first author study of the role of the retinoblastoma gene in rhabdomyosarcoma has been accepted to the journal, Skeletal Muscle. Co-authors include lab members Noah, Jinu and Matthew; lab alumni Olivia, Elaine and Koichi; as well as collaborators Ayeza & Atiya (OHSU Pathology), Sherrie (Univ of Utah), Paul & Sean (NCI), Harry, Lee Ann Chris, Yidong and Joel (UTHSCSA), Brian (Cleveland Clinic) and Monica (IMPPC, Barcelona).
This work was made possible by a gift from the Nylund estate and fellow funding to Jinu and Koichi by the Scott Carter Foundation.
Would members of the community be interested in sponsoring an experiment to launch drug discovery in rhabdomyosarcoma? We are experienced in building drug screens from our leadership of the international dipg preclinical consortium and now want to build the resources to do the same thing for rhabdomyosarcoma. We need $16,000 to build the rhabdomyosarcoma-specific 60 drug screen. Thereafter, screening each new tumor culture would cost approximately $600.
In parallel, we have an unusual set of other compounds which our lab members call, "Strange Brew." There's no other way to explain this set of compounds, which draw upon every unusual observation of cancer and muscle biology since the early 1900's. This higher risk screen is a $21,000 project... we could really use a sponsor for this second project as well.
Plates from both screens would not only be used by our lab, but also distributed to rhabdomyosarcoma research labs in the U.S. and internationally. We have a good feeling about this.
