Torrid.com, a fashion site specializing in clothing for plus-sized women, just came out with this season's Halloween costume line. In your face, stupid body shamers!
Ladies, in any size/shape, are all Wonder Women — and Torrid even has the WW costume to back that up. You can also get cool Halloween-wear like Maleficent (complete with those sweet curvy horns), Spider-Girl (it'll make the fellas web their pants), Voodoo Doll (guys — if you see a gal wearing this, you may start feeling a small prick), and the fashionable-year-'round Bat costume.
So the next time you wanna make disparaging remarks about a woman's looks and/or size, remember the irony — people who do this have fat heads.
Here are a few now available/upcoming horror/science fiction movies to give you something better to do…
DON'T LET THE DEVIL IN (available now)
"After being relocated from the city to a small Appalachian town in order to oversea the development of a casino, Land Developer John Harris and his wife, previously warned there would be resentment within the community, soon find themselves entangled within a tapestry of pure evil that lurks within."
Tapestry of pure evil. How can you resist a line like that? It's right up there with "drapery of doom" and "a carpet of carnage." Kinda makes me wanna give my apartment a makeover.
BUNNYMAN VENGEANCE (October 20, 2017/VOD)
"The man known as Bunnyman returns home to find his family running a haunted house attraction. The family welcomes him home, but soon realizes you cannot domesticate a wild animal. Death and mayhem ensue as the family turn on one another to fulfill their bloodlust."
The third in a trilogy of a serial killer wearing a dirty Easter bunny costume. Didn't think they had two more in 'em after the first one. But hey, when is a slasher in a kill-stained bunny outfit not entertaining?
DANCES WITH WEREWOLVES (October 31, 2017/VOD)
"Cassie flees an abusive relationship and falls victim to a moon-worshiping 600 year old Romanian Countess. A troubled paranormal investigator of Native American heritage finds himself in a deadly love triangle with a battered-woman werewolf."
This title sure gets around: movies, books/adult fiction memoirs, paranormal crime paperbacks, animated cartoons, YouTube™ videos of werewolves dancing to The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" mega disco hit… There's even funny fake movie posters online riffing on Kevin Costner's Dancing With Wolves 1990 movie. (He's kinda convincing as a hunter of man-beasts.) But this one features Phantasm/horror icon Angus Scrimm in his last role before passing away in 2016 at the age of 89. You're never too old to dance/do battle with werewolves.
ISTY BITSY (2018)
"Kara moves from New York to the quiet countryside with her two children for a job opportunity she can't afford to turn down. The family moves into their humble new guesthouse. Kara begins her work as a private nurse to Walter, a man stricken with multiple sclerosis and an appraiser of rare antiquities with a secretive past. Doom precedes them. Akiba, a shady international associate of Walter's, brings with him a mysterious relic of ancient origin. All too quickly they discover the relic contains more than just legends. Inside, waits a terrifying creature born of ancient darkness and pure instinct…a prehistoric cave spider unlike the modern world has ever seen."
Spiders existed in prehistoric times? Stink beetles, sure. But eight-legged bugs? Sounds so made up. (This is what happens when you watch too many horror movies and your brain turns into oatmeal.) I hope the cave spider looks like/grows to the size of a dinosaur. I think dinosaurs may have existed in prehistoric times. Gonna have to click on something to verify. But not right now. For some reason I'm craving a bowl of oatmeal.
Loch Ness Monster 2.0
Posted in Giant Monsters, Nature Gone Wild, Science Fiction with tags Beyond Loch Ness, creature, cryptologist, dinosaur, Giant Monsters, lake monster, Lake Superior, Loch Ness, Loch Ness Terror, Nature Gone Wild, plesiosaur, Science Fiction, Scotland on September 2, 2017 by Drinkin' & Drive-in
In Beyond Loch Ness (aka, Loch Ness Terror/2008), the famous Scottish lake isn't the only watering hole that harbors a living plesiosaur. There's a big one — and a bunch of smaller ones — in Lake Superior. Superiorness, as I call her, is friggin' huge, prone to mood swings and has a taste for land flesh.
A cryptologist (scientist without accreditation) has been tracking this creature from the Loch all the way to the States and comes packing hi-tech weaponry, like a cell-melting gun, a stool-loosening oscillator, a five-foot rifle and cyanide-laced bullets. This goes nicely with his floor-length leather jacket and old-style cowboy hat. Good thing he has a facial scar (thanks to an earlier confrontation with Nessie), or his whole shtick wouldn't be believable.
So how did Nessie get from Scotland to the U.S.? Why, an underground express tunnel, of course. Duh. The good stuff: half-digested human legs hanging out of Superiorness' mouth like unslurped spaghetti. The bad stuff: the plot. Nessie is petting-friendly; Why they had to make her a carnivorous Walkasaurus is just wrong.

Watching a bunch of haunted house documentaries on YouTube™. Loving the footage of alleged paranormal activity. Every time I pick up a camera, all I get are blurry pics of UFOs and Bigfoot. No photos of ghosts, though as I'm not too keen on wandering around houses that are reputed to be haunted. I hear there are poltergeists in a lot of 'em. And that pretty much goons me out.
Speaking of not-so-scary things, here are a few upcoming horror and sci-fi movies that may or may not make your vision go blurry…
AMERICAN GUINEA PIG: THE SONG OF SOLOMON (pending crowd-funding)
Mary witnesses the brutal suicide of her father. His death unleashes the savage forces of demonic possession in her. The End of Days is upon the world, famine, drought, looting and chaos is ripping the world apart and the Catholic Church is trying to save an innocent soul from the ravages of satanic possession. Wave after wave of holy men are sent to confront the possessed. The Song of Solomon's true nature is to unleash an evil the world has been waiting for since the beginning of time."
And to think all Mary's father had to do to keep all this from happening was to call the Suicide Hotline. (And for those considering the chickensh*t way out, you might wanna make the call: 1-800-273-8255.) That aside, I do like the line, "Wave after wave of holy men are sent to confront the possessed." Sounds like security at a Liverpool vs. Manchester United football match.
LAKE OF SHADOWS: THE LEGEND OF AVOCADO LAKE (pending crowd-funding)
"Three aspiring filmmakers venture to a mysterious lake resort to uncover a story on a local legend. As they get closer to the truth, the danger follows. Before they know it they are thrust into a fight for their lives and the truth about Avocado Lake. Based on true cases."
Yes, avocados are true. I've seen them. They look like alien dinosaur eggs filled with some sort of green mush. As for the legend in the lake, it's not a spoiler to tell you it's a man-eating monster fish. If you didn't already know that, like a five day old avocado, you've just been spoiled.
THE RAIN (2018/Netflix)
"Set after a devastating biological catastrophe, the world as we know it has ended. Six years after a brutal virus wiped out almost all humans in Scandinavia, two siblings join a group of young survivors set out to find out whether a new world has begun somewhere else."
A new foreign (Danish) horror series by movie streaming giant, Netflix™. For another really good horror series from a different country than the one I'm being over-taxed in, try The Returned (2015). It's French, sub-titled and très bien.
"Holly's mother murdered her sister and father when she was seven. 20 years later and slowly losing her grip on the difference between reality and nightmares, she runs into a celebrity psychic who claims that he is destined to help her."
I went to a psychic once. After handing her $20, she divined there would be a need for me to drink a beer in the near future. That I was drinking a beer at the time while fuming over losing the crazy cool Troll doll at the carnival's ring toss, had nothing to do with it. I believed her and mere minutes later, I was drinking YET ANOTHER beer. Uncanny, true and thus money well spent. P.S. Screw you, rigged ring toss.
Dragons and Nickel Candy Bars

It's 1881. And Michael Denning (USA) and Hector Servadac (not USA, but still kinda cool Frenchman) were doing what any two guys arguing over a girl would normally be doing: facing off in a duel with pistols.
Just as they're about to glock block each other, a passing comet overhead whips up a ferocious storm so blast-y, it sucks the at-odds gentlemen 1,000,000 miles into space and 1,000,000 BACK IN TIME! Face-slapping astonishment here; I had no idea meteors had those kinds of super powers.
The men end up in a jungle as real estate and property taxes hadn't been invented yet. It's here they encounter two warring tribes of cavemen and cave women, a fiesty volcano with the worst temperament, and giant, mouth open, fighting lizards feasting on said cave people. Can you say f'd in the cave-hole?
Using the framework of Off on a Comet, an 1877 Jules Verne novel (that's probably French for "book"), Valley of the Dragons (1961) certainly lives up to its name. They do this by sweetening the plot with stock footage from Cat-Women of the Moon (1953) and Rodan (1956), whose cameos are relegated to some prairie dog pop-ups and a few fly-bys.
Not forgetting their discord, both men decide to resolve their face-shooting dispute AFTER they figure out what the heck is going on, how to get back to their own time, and more importantly, how to divide up the two hottest of the cave chicks not as yet eaten by the "dragons."
One clan gets trapped in a cave with a slobbering giant lizard right outside the door-less opening. Using spears and rocks, the cave people, led by French Hector, poke the beast like it was sleeping in late. But it isn't until his science thoughts kick in that he figures out how to make gun powder from the colored dirt everyone's bleeding on.
You can guess where this is headed and how this ends for the dragon. But the most exciting part is when the volcano blows and all involved at the foot of said Mt. Explode gets the herd thinned by earth-cracked crevices and tsunamis of pyroclastic flow.
Initiating a chest-patting peace accord between the surviving tribes, Mike and Hec calculate the comet will return in seven years, thereby whisking them back to their plentiful world of nickel candy bars and .34¢ a gallon gasoline. More than enough time to teach the cave girls in the ways of future love.
Closing statement: Rodan did not eat any of the cave people. He could've, but just didn't. It'd be totally not cool if you went around telling everybody he did. Don't be a dick, 'k?
Human Dinosaur

Arriving September 27, 2016 on DVD, Killersaurus combines a human with a dinosaur to create an unstoppable meat grinder. Here are the particulars…
"When a scientist runs short of funding for his life-saving medical Bio-Printing research, he accepts an offer of investment from a shadowy military organization."
"In return, he is forced to use his technology to create the ultimate battlefield weapon – a full size Tyrannosaurus Rex. After a horrific accident in which the dinosaur massacres his research team, the scientist shuts down the project. However, his investors demand results and it can only be a matter of time before the deadly T-Rex is unleashed upon the world."
While the movie's trailer is weak, I do like the concept. And the name Killersaurus I feel is pretty cool. Not as cool as 1993's Carnosaur, though. That one was so bad good, they couldn't help but make sequels: Carnosaur 2 (1995) and Carnosaur 3: Primal Species (1996).
I'm pretty sure they used real dinosaurs in those movies. That said, I hope they use a real half-human/half-dinosaur in Killersaurus. Movie-goers love realism.
P.S. Just so I can say I told you so, they took the name Killersaurus from the Ultra-Man stable of monsters. U-Killersaurus and U-Killersaurus Neo appeared in 2006's Ultraman Mebius & the Ultra Brothers. Both were able to shoot fireballs, Saurus-Stinger missiles, and the aptly-named Terrible Flasher, all of which are terribly awesome.
Queen Kong: Jungle Skank

If you feel life is not precious then go ahead and waste an hour and a half of it watching Queen Kong (1976). Yeah, something that dumb can only be a comedy spoof. If only it were funny. But I'll tell you whose laughing – the attorneys for King Kong, who got this thing tied to a sacrificial altar due to copyright squeezings brought on by King Kong (1976)/King Kong Lives (1986) producer Dino De Laurentiis. How do you them bananas?
While it only got limited release Italy and Germany, Queen Kong is so painfully painful, it's doubtful Queen Kong would've had an impact on her male counterpart. They took the story and flipped genders, with the strangle-worthy British lead male in the role of Ray Fay (groan) being sacrificed to Queen Kong, who falls in love with the twit and let's her affection get her caught and imported to London to wiggle her chain-linked boobs for profit.
If the effects, which are anything but special, have you throwing fruit at your TV (it's not your magic viewing box's fault), the acting – mostly hot chicks in bikinis – and the dialogue that induces reverse-eating. Example: The supermodel tribe leader chick only speaks in jungle-ese and says stuff like "Unga bunga, wanga banga." Sounds like a Ted Nugent song.
Even with QK battling a giant paper mache dinosaur, it's the sissy boy Ray Fay whose arrogant preening makes you wanna see a giant primate step on him. Endless shrieking and bragging, this idiot looks like one of the Herman's Hermits and says stuff like, "You can't eat me! I'm Jewish! I'm Irish! I'm black! I'm a leper! I'm a Jewish black Irish leper!" The death penalty would be too lenient.
Pluses: Dozens of hot chicks in bikinis. Minuses: The rest of the movie.
Killersaurus Is A Dino-snore

Can't go to the mall cineplex without tripping over slobbering little dinosaur fans gooning out over Jurassic World (2015). And with all things massively successful (JW has already made over a billion fun coupons in just a few weeks of its release), comes the inevitable knock offs and cash-ins.
One such cash quickie is Killer/Saurus (releasing July 6, 2015), a science-gone-wrong take of the military trying to weaponize a T-rex. Good luck with that.
The bad news: "When a scientist runs short of funding for his life-saving medical bio-printing research, he accepts an offer of investment from a shadowy military organization. In return, he is forced to use his technology to create the ultimate battlefield weapon – a full-size Tyrannosaurus Rex. After a horrific accident in which the dinosaur massacres his research team, the scientist shuts down the project. However, his investors demand results, and it can only be a matter of time before the deadly T-rex is unleashed upon the world!"
The good news: Dinosaurs running amok on mankind can easily be found in the Carnosaur series, starting in 1993 and going all chomp chomp on your breadbasket with Carnosaur 2 (1995), Carnosaur 3: Primal Species and Raptor (1996), which is a direct-to-video part of the franchise but unwisely chose to not carry on with the proud Carnosaur family name.
P.S. Hope it doesn't f-up your day, but there was a Killersaurus that was/is part of the Ultra-Man 1980s series that got its start back in 1966. (Actually, they referred to him as U-Killersaurus.) To further f-up your day, there was a Neo-Killersaurus that appeared in the Ultraman Mebius & The Ultra Brothers movie released in 2006.
Now that this information has totally f'd up your day, there's nowhere to go but up!

What is the difference between the various mtDNA Haplogroups?
Looking at the various maps,
there are many Haplogroups - H1, HV, H5, I, J, K and so on. What is the difference between them? Why are they all different?
Also, is R1b and R1a a mtDNA haplogroup or Y-chromosome Haplogroup?
Which Haplogroup is being measured or matched when comparing genetic similarities between different nations?
Note: there was a link attached of a website with various mtDNA haplogroups, but the ultra mega DUMB yahoo won't let me post it.
The different haplogroups have different unique mutations in their mitochondrial DNA. mtDNA is passed along from mother to daughter and son, but the father's mtDNA is not passed along except in very rare cases. That means all people who belong to a particular haplogroup share a recent female common ancestor, more recently than they do with members of a different haplogroup. By comparing mtDNA, scientists figured out that all humans have a common ancestor that lived about 200,000 years ago in Africa.
When some Africans left Africa 60,000 years ago, they brought with them their mtDNA to a new place. At first their mtDNA is the same as their relatives in Africa.. Later, if the mtDNA of these people who moved out of Africa have mutations, these mutations will not be found among Africans, unless some of the descendants of these people move back to Africa (that does happen sometimes but it is rather rare). So, all humans on earth originally had identical mtDNA, but as their descendants started living in different areas, their mtDNA acquire different new mutations unique to those areas. So, suppose we find the same mutation in the DNA of, say, a European and an Arab, but that mutation is not found in other people around the world, we would group this European and Arab into the same haplogroup to show that they are more closely related to one another than to other people around the world. So, if a person in Spain has haplogroup H, and his neighbor has haplogroup K, then the person with haplogroup H is more closely related to a person in, say, England who has haplogroup H. He is less closely related to his neighbor (a fellow Spaniard) who has haplogroup K.
For example, there is haplogroup R1, then there is R1b, R1a etc. ?
My mtDNA is U5B26

While natural selection has a direction, guiding evolution towards heritable adaptations to the current environment, genetic drift has no direction and is guided only by the mathematics of chance. As a result, drift acts upon the genotypic frequencies within a population without regard to their phenotypic effects. In contrast, selection favors the spread of alleles whose phenotypic effects increase survival and/or reproduction of their carriers, lowers the frequencies of alleles that cause unfavorable traits, and ignores those that are neutral.

10 Republican senators present Biden with smaller Covid stimulus proposal, call for compromise
SonalJanuary 31, 2021
Senator Mitt Romney, a Republican from Utah, listens during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing regarding Iran-U.S. relations on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2019.

WASHINGTON – A group of 10 Republican senators called on President Joe Biden to consider a smaller, alternative Covid-19 relief proposal as his administration works to pass a $1.9 trillion package to address the economic fallout triggered by the pandemic.
In a letter to Biden on Sunday, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, Rob Portman of Ohio, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and five other lawmakers said they would unveil their proposed legislation on Monday.
"We recognize your calls for unity and want to work in good faith with your administration to meet the health, economic, and societal challenges of the Covid crisis," the senators wrote.
"With your support, we believe Congress can once again craft a relief package that will provide meaningful, effective assistance to the American people and set us on a path to recovery," the group wrote asking for a meeting with Biden in order to discuss the proposed legislation in greater detail.
The Republican senators explained that their version of the Covid relief package provides "more targeted assistance" to Americans with the greatest need. The proposed legislation asks for a total of $160 billion for vaccine development and distribution, testing and tracing, treatment as well as other crucial supplies.
The senators laid out the following details of their plan:
An additional round of economic impact payments for families who need assistance the most including their dependent children and adults.
Extends enhanced federal unemployment benefits at the current level.
Fully funds nutrition assistance to help struggling families.
Additional resources to help small businesses and their employees through the Paycheck Protection Program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program.
Funds resources for opening schools safely and for child care.
Provides $4 billion to bolster behavioral health and substance abuse services.
On Sunday, Portman told CNN's "State of the Union" that the proposal would be a slimmer version of what was presented by the Biden administration.
"It'd be less than $1.9 [trillion] because much of what the administration has laid out has nothing to do with Covid-19," Portman explained. "As an example, with regard to the direct payments, we think they should be much more targeted," he added.
Brian Deese, director of the National Economic Council, told MSNBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that the White House had received the letter and was open to discussing the proposed legislation.
"The president has said repeatedly, he is open to ideas wherever they may come that we could improve upon the approach to actually tackling this crisis. What he is uncompromising about is the need to move with speed on a comprehensive approach here," Deese said.
"We've been engaging with members of Congress from both parties and in both houses over the course of the last week or two. We will continue to do that as we go forward," he added.
Deese also told CNN's "State of the Union" that the administration is willing to negotiate on the stimulus checks.
The Republican counter-proposal comes as the House is set to pass a budget resolution this week, the first step toward approving the relief bill through reconciliation. The process would enable Senate Democrats to approve an aid measure without Republican support.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York signaled last week that the chamber would also work to pass a budget resolution soon. He said the Senate "as early as next week will begin the process of considering a very strong Covid relief bill."
When asked if Senate Democrats could pass the rescue bill through the reconciliation process, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont told ABC's "This Week" that he believed the party had the votes to do so.
"It's hard for me to imagine any Democrat, no matter what state he or she may come from, who doesn't understand the need to go forward right now in an aggressive way to protect the working families of this country," Sanders said.
"Look all of us will have differences in opinion, this is a $1.9 trillion bill, I have differences and concerns about this bill but at the end of the day we are going to support the president of the United States and we are going to do what the American people want us to overwhelmingly do," he added.
In a Twitter post on Sunday, Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen echoed the administration's call for Congress to act as soon as possible.
"The President is absolutely right: The benefits of acting now — and acting big — will far outweigh the costs in the long run," Yellen wrote.
CNBC's Jacob Pramuk, Tucker Higgins and Emma Newburger contributed to this report from New York.

than to any other in this command for the patient labor and unceasing vigil he has given in its organization and instruction.
At the commencement of the firing immediate steps were taken by Surg. A. J. Foard, medical director, in accordance with previous instructions, to remove his sick and stores to a place of security already prepared in anticipation of this outrage upon our hospital flag. By the activity and energy of this indefatigable officer every patient and every article of value had been transferred before any damage occurred. After superintending this important duty he joined me in the field. The high professional attainments of this admirable officer, united to his gentleness of manner, kindness of heart, and untiring zeal, peculiarly adapt him for the very important post he fills with so much credit to himself and satisfaction to this Army. To his labors have been entirely due the admirable arrangements by which the sufferings of our sick have been so greatly alleviated. To him and to the officers of his department generally, to Farther Point and our good Sisters of Charity, who have labored in our hospital without money and without price, the Army and the country owe a debt of gratitude.
At the close of the engagement on Saturday night Major Thomas M. Jones, commissary of subsistence, with my approbation, volunteered to go to the assistance of Colonel Villepigue at Fort McRee, who was well-night exhausted by his painful wounds, anxiety, and long-continued watchfulness. His services were of the utmost importance in restoring the fort to its defensive condition, and in constructing an additional outwork, which it is hoped will render it less assailable in future. Colonel Villepigue, in his report, pays a just tribute to this excellent officer, whose sense of duty rose far above all personal considerations.
This would seem not an improper occasion to place on record and expression of the admiration and gratitude I feel for the noble, self-sacrificing spirit which has ever pervaded the whole of this gallant little army. Called suddenly from home, without preparations, to serve an unorganized Government, in the midst of a country destitute of supplies, it has patiently, and without a murmur, submitted to privations and borne labors which never can be appreciated. Consigned by fate to inactivity when their brothers elsewhere, later in entering the service, were reaping a harvest of glory, they have still nobly sustained their commander, and maintained a well-deserved reputation for discipline rarely equaled, never surpassed. With a people capable of such sacrifices we may defy the world in arms.
But in giving this praise to human virtue let us not be unmindful of an invisible Power, which has ruled all things for our good. The hand of disease and death has been lightly laid upon us at a place and in a season when we had reason to expect much suffering and great mortality. And in the hour of our trial the missiles of death, showered upon us by an infuriated enemy, respecting neither women, children, nor the sick, have been so directed as to cause us to laugh at their impotent rage. Verily, "Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Protective Effect of Human Sickle Hemoglobin Against Malaria Varies with Parasite Genotype
Blood smear containing both macro- and micro-gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum. CDC Public Health Image Library.
NEW YORK — Malaria-causing parasites appear to be countering the protective effect conferred by the sickle hemoglobin mutation found among some human populations, a new analysis has found.
There are about 241 million cases of malaria each year, which in 2020 led to 627,000 deaths, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. By analyzing samples of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum obtained from thousands of children in Gambia and Kenya with severe malaria, a University of Oxford-led team found that children with the sickle hemoglobin, or HbS, mutation tended to have malaria caused by P. falciparum that harbor three particular genetic variants. These variants, which are in linkage disequilibrium, seem to counter the otherwise protective effect of HbS, as the team reported in Nature on Thursday.
"It's well known that the sickle hemoglobin mutation has evolved under selection pressure from malaria — it is strongly protective if you inherit one copy, so it has been driven to reasonable frequencies in places like sub-Saharan African where mortality from malaria is high," first author Gavin Band from Oxford said in an email. "Our new results show that the parasite appears, in turn, to have adapted to the HbS mutation."
He and his colleagues sequenced P. falciparum samples collected between 1995 and 2009 from Gambian and Kenyan children with severe malaria, and generated genotyping data for both the parasites and affected children for 4,171 samples.
In a joint analysis of host and parasite genetic variation, the researchers uncovered a strong association between HbS and three regions of the P. falciparum genome, which they dubbed Pfsa1, Pfsa2, and Pfsa3.
Most of the children with an HbS genotype had malaria caused by a parasite with a Pfsa+ allele, and the researchers' data indicated that there was little evidence that HbS provided protection against severe malaria if the infecting parasites harbored Pfsa1+, Pfsa2+, and Pfsa3+ alleles. It did, though, still provide protection against severe malaria caused by Pfsa- parasites.
The Pfsa1+, Pfsa2+, and Pfsa3+ alleles are present at similar frequencies throughout Kenya, while in Gambia, Pfsa2+ was present at lower frequency, as compared to Pfsa1+ and Pfsa3+. The frequency of these alleles varied throughout Africa and were rare outside of Africa, the researchers noted, adding that the Pfsa+ alleles correlated with the frequency of the HbS genotype among people.
The three alleles are further in linkage disequilibrium, even the allele that is located on a different chromosome. This LD link, the researchers noted, was not explained by population structure or other covariate and was also observed in other populations in MalariaGEN.
Exactly why or how this is maintained is unclear, Band said, but he added that there are two main possibilities. First, it could be an effect of population structure associated with HbS, though they did not have any evidence supporting that notion. The other possibility is that the variants are indeed co-inherited and that there is epistasis between them.
"I think the importance of these results stems from the fact that so much of this is unknown — the results point at aspects of parasite biology that are clearly important to the parasites, but that currently we don't really know much about at all," Band said. "So, our results open up an area of investigation that might generate new insights into parasite biology."
Band and his colleagues are now conducting further genetic surveys to gain a better understanding of the Pfsa+ alleles, as well as performing laboratory studies to determine how the alleles contribute to malaria resistance — one allele includes variants within PfACS8 on chromosome 2, an acyl-CoA synthetase family member, while another is within a region on chromosome 2 and the third is in a structural variation-containing region on chromosome 11. They are also working to understand how natural selection has shaped the loci and how the alleles have changed over time.

In the United States, the most extensively used time period is 'lawyer in reality'. Which means they are the fiduciary of the individual giving the facility of legal professional. They therefore have one of many highest duties to the precept of the document to act honestly and with loyalty in the direction of the principal. In some instances there's also a contract between the principal and the original particular person making the legal instrument which particulars renumeration and other components of the authorized relationship between the principal and the unique person making the authorized instrument.
Other than these direct expenses, your personal injury lawyer may also ask for compensation in your ache and suffering or loss of amenity – another component of damage.

10.10.2016: Thailand Super Series TSS Round 3, Bira Circuit Super 2000 Saturday (Race 5 of the year).
TSS Round 3, Bira Circuit Super 2000 Saturday (Race 5 of the year).
Pole position eventually went to Chayut Yangpichit in the TT Motorsport Honda DC 5 as he was elevated post-qualifying from his berth on the other side of the front row after Pattarapol Vongprai, who had set the fastest time during qualifying, was moved down to fourth place due to a flag infringement.
Munkong Sathienthirakul switched up to the front row with the row behind comprising of championship leader Kittipol Pramoj Na Ayudhya and the demoted Pattarapol. Next up were Kittipol's teammate Thanavud Bhirombhakdi and the factory Toyota 86 of Manat Kulapalanont.
At the green lights Munkong enjoyed the best start to drag his way to the front and lead the pack into Turn 2 with Chayut and Kittipol tucking in close behind. Ekprawat Petcharak also had a good start and he muscled his way past Manat's Toyota on the run downhill from Turn 3 to the 100R corner.
Through the S2 chicane Phatwit Phayakcso and Thamrong Mahadumrongkul had a brief moment where they made contact as the latter piled the pressure on the former in the battle for eighth place.
However that had already become a battle for seventh place as a hundred metres ahead of them Chayut pulled off on the outside of the chicane with engine problems and would go no further. On the second lap Jetsada Yangpichit pulled off the track on the inside of the exit to the 100R turn to also retire.
At the front Munkong eased out his lead to a couple of seconds over the two red, white and black Singha Motorsport Team Thailand Civic FDs initially but Pattarapol's blistering qualifying pace was carrying over to the race and he soon dispensed with Thanavud and then closed up on Kittipol.
The championship leader fended him off, but with a slightly down on power car, a transmission that wasn't optimally geared, a full load of success ballast but more importantly a need to bring the points home for the championship, Pattarapol was always likely to find a way past.
The grey Civic had a stab down the inside through 100R but suffered a bit of a wobble, corrected it but then got the job done at Turn 11 as Kittipol gave him enough room.
The race changing moment though would come on the sixth lap as the returning Wijak Lertprasertpakorn, who had been fending off the two factory Toyota Altis cars behind him, spinning on the entry to 100R.
The red cars managed to get round on either side but with oil down on the track the yellow Toyota Altezza of David Yupensak also spun and then as the leaders came thundering down the hill seconds later.
Munkong took the left route, bouncing through the gravel trap while Pattarapol jammed on the brakes and went right, Kittipol also just squeezed down the left without too much problem but Thanavud was a passenger as his Civic plunged off deep into the gravel.
That brought out the Safety Car. While the pack was trundling round Thamrong pitted with an alternator problem on his Civic FD and would loose a lap before rejoining.
When the race resumed Munkong's advantage been eradicated and the flying Pattarapol now had designs on P1.
He took a look down the outside on the rundown to the S2 chicane but it was a lap later that he made it stick at the same turn, he shimmied down the outside but this time jinked across to the inside, elbowed his way down the side of the bright blue race leading Civic as Munkong went in too deep and locked up with a puff of tyre smoke, Pattarapol was through and leading his first Super 2000 race on his category debut.
With a quarter of the race remaining it seemed to have settled down apart from the two Altis's squeezing past David's Altezza in a fluid motion at Turn 11, but then the destiny of the championship title became almost a formality as Manat slowed up through Turn 3 and parked the Toyota 86 on the inside.
With Kittipol in a very comfortable third place on the road (and set to collect the points for second place as the race leader wasn't eligible to score) the gap in the title race looked set to widen to a point where mathematics almost went out of the window.
At the front, after 20 laps of racing, Pattarapol etched his name in the Super 2000 record books at his first attempt, romping across the line with 2.5 seconds in hand over Munkong after a very impressive race long display. Simply a perfect way to start his touring car career; job done superbly.
Kittipol closed up on Munkong over the closing laps but chose caution as he protected the 15 points that virtually assured him of the title. Ekprawat in the unique Civic FB and Phatwit in his regular Honda City secured the final steps of the overall podium.
Sixth place went to the first of the factory Toyotas, the #2 of Pure Hongsapan. He finished one and a half seconds clear of his teammate Thanakorn Buttawong who also won 'Class 2'. Then came Thamrong and David to wrap up the classified finishers.

Raising the Red Flags: When You May Need a Profit Participation Audit
facebooktwitterlinkedingoogleplusmail
BY Ilan Haimoff
CATEGORIES Media Clips
Co-authors: Ilan Haimoff and Peter Klass
Whether you are an individual, company stakeholder or the beneficiary of a trust or estate with profit participation rights to movies and television shows, you may be at risk for underpayment or delayed payment of your participation profits by a studio or other distribution company. At a minimum, we recommend that you review your statements periodically. Depending on certain risk factors, you may consider consulting an expert to perform a participation audit.
What should you look for as you review your participation statements? As you assess the need for an audit, you may want to consider the following risk factors related to statements, agreements and market trends.
In the Black vs. Red
If you are being paid by the studio in excess of the initial advance or minimum guarantee, the studio may be more focused on minimizing their risk of overpayment. They may do this by potentially delaying reporting of revenues or over-reporting expenses such as reserves. Although you should review all statements, you should be more diligent with review of the statements after the recoupment of your initial advance or minimum guarantee. If new or unusual entries were added soon before or after you are recouped, this may represent a red flag.
Potential Inconsistency between the Statement and the License Agreement
The statement is often issued by someone who was not directly involved with drafting the license agreement's terms, conditions or intent of the agreement's language. This increases the risk of errors and omissions in developing the statement template.
Additionally, when developing the template or algorithm (for more sophisticated studios), participation staff could be interpreting unclear or "grey" terms and conditions of your agreement subjectively, which likely may be in favor of the studio and could potentially result in under-reporting of revenues or over-reporting of expenses.
To mitigate this risk, you should review the statement for improper application of the agreement terms within the statement. If you identify any inconsistencies, this could be a symptom of larger issues, and therefore, would also represent a red flag.
Unusual Entries on the Statement
The high volume of statements issued by studios combined with the limited studio staff (the result of studios' efforts to minimize overhead) may reduce statement quality control and lead to increased errors on your statements. Unusual entries, such as negative revenues and unfamiliar expense accounts could indicate a risk of other errors on the statement.
Complexity of the License Agreement
Generally, the more complex your deal is, the higher the risk of errors and omissions. This represents an inherent risk which should be considered as part of your decision to conduct a participation audit.
Versions of the Agreement
If an agreement remains unsigned due to unresolved differences between you and the studio, there is potentially an expectations gap in reporting on the statement. The studio may be applying its version of the terms of the agreement. It will help if you are aware of the differences between the agreement versions. Also, as part of your monitoring process, you should scan the statement to identify instances where the studio has reported in a manner different from your expectations. If any are identified, it may require further evaluation.
Audit and Tolling Rights
Remember that the studio will not be calling you the day your audit or tolling rights expire. While you may have concerns about the statements, depending on your agreement, it may be too late. If your rights will soon expire, you may want to consider evaluating the need for an audit.
New Media Reporting:
In recent years, there has been a growing risk of underreporting for new media revenues. Studio systems and processes are yet to be upgraded to identify and account for all new media revenues. Such challenges will continue as new forms of revenue streams are developed. Also consider that your agreement may not have addressed new media exploitation, resulting in potential underreporting of revenues on your statement. Be sure to monitor the statement for new media revenue reporting.
Foreign Activity
As distribution overseas is becoming more significant, so is the question of accuracy and completeness of foreign distribution revenues. Depending on the studio monitoring controls and specific laws and regulations at the various territories, revenues may not be transmitted or classified properly, potentially resulting in errors and omissions. Although it may be difficult to monitor the overall accuracy, this inherent risk should be considered as part of the overall decision to audit.
Vertical Integration:
There appears to be a trend toward more and more self-dealings between relates parties (e.g., studio and network may be owned by the same media company), as the industry continues to consolidate due to competitive pressures. Although difficult to see on the statement, you may want to evaluate whether the related party transactions did not result in under-reporting of revenues or over-reporting of expenses on your statement.
Distracted Studios
If the studio is going through a significant change, such as an acquisition, merger, lawsuit, change in leadership, layoffs or system changes that you become aware of through news articles or rumors, it could potentially mean that the level of quality controls in statement issuance has been impacted.
Other Factors to Consider
There may be many other factors specific to your circumstances, such as a dispute with the studio, lack of transparency and delays by the studio in response to your inquiries, which may increase the potential risk of underreporting of your profit participation.
Additionally, if you become aware of other profit participants who are considering an audit or have already sent in an audit notice, you may want to consider the possibility of joining their audit, which can both reduce your risk and reduce the expense of an audit.
If any, some or all of the above risks are present, you may want to consult with a participations auditor to further evaluate the possibility of performing an audit on your behalf.

You know, if someone would think of bringing fudge along on the wagon ride I would be a lot more motivated to stay on it. Okay, I suppose a really good friend would probably give me a nudge to stay on the wagon. Nudge or fudge. Tough call on which is best, friendship-wise.
In our spiritual lives, we all need a little nudge now and then too. It's good to have people in our lives we can count on to nudge us in the right direction, wherever the wagons are heading.
As pioneers were settling the west, when they were threatened by an enemy, circling the wagons was part of their defense strategy. The circle provided a protected cover they could get behind to fire at their attackers.
We need to rally with those who travel this life's journey with us in the same way. We have a common enemy. Peter reminds us to "be alert" because our "enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8 NIV). Circle the wagons! Our church family is part of our defensive plan against our enemy. The next verse in 1 Peter says, "Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings" (vs. 9 NIV).
We're in this together. Let's not neglect circling the wagons. "Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together as believers, as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25, AMP).
Less burden. More joy. It's a good choice.
And in other choices, I'm considering choosing to keep the extra 20 pounds and just get myself a bigger wagon. One with really good shocks.

What day is it? Maybe it's a day to remember. At times, I forget God. I forget to pray. I rush remembering my schedule and forgetting His schedule. Classes this afternoon, a writing deadline, a newsletter to write, emails to answer, all the things that are constantly on my schedule. But, did I forget anything today? Yes. God's schedule–a time with Him.
Has He forgotten me? Not a chance. With God, forgetting is a one-way street. I'm the one heading in the wrong direction.
When life gets so busy, it's easy to not spend time with the One who gives us all blessings. This last week, I daily asked the Lord for many things–understanding in all I'm learning, health to do it all, and provision for our ministry and us––along with all those prayers for family, friends, and safety. And, I kept telling the Lord I wanted to spend more time with Him––but I had Him on hold. Yes, I had devotions, and yes, I meditated on Scripture but had I blocked out everything so I could hear His voice? Not really!
But this morning, God gave me that time. I hadn't made time for Him, so He arranged a deserted place to be with Him. He said to them [me],"Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while" Mark 6:31(NRSV).
"Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle" (Psalm 144:1 NIV). I have been in a battle. Any time we are giving God's Word out, we engage in battle against a powerful enemy. He will do anything to keep God's Word from spreading. Now I am writing to get God's Word out, and I feel that opposition. Never before have we had so many unresolved internet problems. And some days I feel like my head is going to explode from all the new things I am putting into it. But God is using those things to train my hands and fingers so that I can write His message.
After spending time in God's Word, I was no longer uptight about how long it was taking to get my internet up and running again. I took a walk with God up the mountain behind our house. There were no camels there in my desert, only two ponies and what seemed like thousands of birds singing to Him––a little bit of heaven, a refreshing time with my Creator. I didn't have to travel to an exotic faraway place to get away from it all (I already live in one). I just needed His refreshing presence.
I know God will teach me what I need to know so that I accomplish the work He has for me. He is at work in me, to enable me to be effective in my service and in my writing. Today when I walked with Him, God confirmed that He is training my hands and fingers to write for Him.
What day is it today? Today (and every day) is a day to remember God. He never forgets you and me. Will you walk with Him in a deserted place today?

Can We Honor and Parent Our Parents?
My father was hospitalized with a urinary tract infection and sepsis. Due to my mother's worsening dementia, she could not stay alone. Each day we drove to the hospital to spend the bulk of the day with Dad, and then I took her home for the night.
During the drive one morning, I saw Mom rummaging in her purse in my peripheral vision. At a stoplight I glanced over in time to see her touch a mascara wand to her lips.
As our parents age, as illness takes its toll, they increasingly require more help. It may require financial guidance, help at home, emotional support, or even constant health care. Whatever your particular situation, as the parent becomes more like a child in many ways, the child must take on the parenting role.
Although the specific circumstances will look different for each family, God's Word leaves no doubt – caring for our parents is our God-given responsibility. When God gave the people His Law in the desert, one of the first ten commandments was to "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you" (Exodus 20: 12 NASB). Doing this pleases God and should be a natural result of our relationship with Him. But is it possible to both care for and honor our parents at the same time?
Honor means to hold in esteem, or place value on someone or something. God wants us to respond to our parents as people of worth and to treat them in ways that best meets their needs. Whatever care they may require, we can do it in a way that demonstrates our value for them, treating them always with kindness and respect.
I've learned – the hard way – that so much depends on my attitude and tone. If my heart isn't right with God, if I'm in the middle of a pity party, or if I'm all wrapped up in self, I end up doing exactly what Paul warned Timothy against: "Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father" (1 Timothy 5:1 NIV).
More than once I've caught myself trying to do the right thing in the wrong way. Impatience, selfishness, and frustration can easily foster harsh words. The end result isn't all that matters. The words and actions we use to get there should comfort, encourage, console, and strengthen our parents.
Honoring our parents while caring for them is definitely not child's play. But it pleases God and He stands by ready to supply everything we need to do the right thing, the right way.
Join the conversation: Think about some of your recent interactions with your parent. In what ways, if any, could you have improved on the outcome?
Why Can't I Be Perfect NOW?
Some time ago, I rejoiced in the Lord's work in my life because an area of personal struggle seemed to finally be conquered. I felt victorious and knew the Lord had worked mightily. Praise the Lord!
As that wonderful realization dawned upon me, a thought quickly popped into my mind: "Could it be I've reached … perfection?" That realization energized me! Could it be that I'd actually reached what I'd been seeking all my life?
But I knew that couldn't be. I needed to be needy so that I would need God.
How do you feel when you read verses like Philippians 1:6?
"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus" (NASB).
It's saying we won't be completed and perfect until we reach heaven. That can be frustrating. And maybe even confusing, because if the Holy Spirit is in us, we should be perfectly empowered all the time, right?
We want that verse to say: "He who began a good work in you will perfect it…yesterday!" Unfortunately, when our hearts think that's what God really meant to say, we can easily envision God impatiently tapping His foot while His arms are folded across His chest. "When are you finally going to be perfect?" He would cry.
But that's not the truth. The Apostle Paul wrote that we wouldn't be perfect until the day of Christ Jesus–when each of us dies or Jesus returns. Until then, God will always be working on something in our lives. Yes, we will gain victory over areas of struggle…and then He'll move on to the next thing He's working on.
Does the thought of always having something to work on seem comforting or overwhelming? I hope it can be comforting, knowing God doesn't expect you to become perfect on this earth. He knows He'll always be working on something in your life.

The first quarter of this year I had the opportunity to join a fitness centered group. Our local radio station chose a group of people and spent twelve weeks—in partnership with our local YMCA—guiding us to better health and wellness.
For me, this was life-changing. Outside of hiking and occasionally walking the dog, my idea of exercise has been . . . well . . . limited. I never considered myself athletic and hated exercise.
Now all that has changed. While I'm not where I hope to be, I'm finally on the right path. And one of the things that has helped has been keeping track along the way.
Everywhere we turn fitness tracking is all the rage. And gadgets and gizmos to do just that are everywhere. We're wearing jewelry that tracks our steps, our heart rate, and even how many stairs we climb. Beyond that, it reminds us when we need to exercise or at least get up and move.
Thinking about all this accountability has turned my mind to spiritual accountability. Wouldn't it be amazing if we had something to track our spiritual walk? Can you imagine how helpful it would be if, when we slacked off on spiritual fitness and discipline, there was something that would tell us it was time to get back on track?
There is—and He's the Holy Spirit.
Accountability is good thing to help us stay physically healthy. It's even more important to have the same sort of accountability to stay in shape spiritually.

Life has been challenging lately. First, my children's picture books were misprinted in black and white. "Oh, Noooooo!" I told the Lord. I wandered around the house for about twenty-four hours in a state of anxious prayer. The usual method of dealing with misprinted books is to destroy and replace them. But these were books on the plan of salvation. The black and white pictures were still nice, though not saleable. "What should I do?" I asked.
Gradually, the Lord showed me his answer: I was to give those books to the pastors ministering on our Montana Native American reservations – for the children – where unemployment is 80%. Jesus was clear: This misprint was NOT a mistake! He had planned it!
My thoughts went to the printer, who would take a loss over the misprints. Surely Jesus would not let her suffer if HE was behind this! I asked the printer what she would need to recover her losses. She said she would need $4,180, money we didn't have. I told the Lord, "If you will provide the funds to salvage those books, I will give all two thousand books away." God is now providing the funds as the requests from those pastors pour in.
The stress from that incident may be over, but more stress is on the horizon. I keep giving it to Jesus. My new books have arrived, and the boxes weigh much more than I can lift. I wondered how I would ever get them into Walmart for my book launching party. I could just picture myself grunting and groaning, trying to manhandle those boxes! What should I do? I have a book carrier on wheels, but it was insufficient for a two-hour Walmart launch party.
Wow! Pretty specific, eh? So I hopped in the car, drove down the mountain, over the meadow, and through the woods to Goodwill. I went into the store and walked to the place God had shown me, wondering if there was a book carrier in that place. There was not.
"Where is it, God?" I asked. I walked around the backside of the aisle and returned to the same location.
"Look harder," he said. And there it was, tucked away behind some other things: a light-weight, collapsible dolly. That, along with smaller boxes for the books, will provide a more professional way to move them, a way that will not hurt my back.
Could there possibly be a more peaceful place to be? Listen for his voice! He will take you to some incredible places . . . and not just Goodwill!

Bill to manage wildlife collision rate passes General Assembly
By The Citizen on March 8, 2020
RICHMOND — The General Assembly recently passed a measure that will create a plan to reduce wildlife-related vehicle accidents, though opponents tout the bill as an example of wasteful government spending.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Dave Marsden, D-Fairfax, directs the Virginia departments of Game and Inland Fisheries, Transportation and Conservation and Recreation to conduct a study to identify areas where wildlife habitat is fragmented by human development and roads with a high wildlife collision rate.
Marsden said the measure, known as the Wildlife Corridor Action Plan, is intended to help prevent wildlife-related car accidents. There were 61,000 such collisions reported in 2016, according to VDOT.
"People get killed in wildlife collisions, mostly with deer," Marsden said.
There were 211 deaths from such collisions in the United States, according to State Farm, which tracks deer-related insurance claims across the nation.
The bill would give the DGIF two years to complete a study. Marsden said that after the study is done, the General Assembly will look into building wildlife overpasses along roads identified as problem areas. He said wildlife overpasses were successfully implemented in Charlottesville.
"They tried this on I-64 in Charlottesville and reduced wildlife collisions by 98%," Marsden said.
Ryan Brown, DGIF executive director, said the bill addresses a complex issue and is intended to protect wildlife in two ways.
Brown said his department will work with other agencies to identify places where development has fragmented wildlife habitats and address the work needed to avoid human and wildlife conflict.
"Wildlife moves around and they don't read road signs," Brown said.
The agencies will identify wildlife corridors and study migration routes of native, game and migratory species using existing state data. They will assess human barriers such as roads, dams, power lines and pipelines and determine areas with a high risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions. The study will contain maps to detail such wildlife corridor infrastructure, as well as recommendations for creating safe wildlife crossings. Brown said options might include fencing along problem roads and bridge-like structures to assist wildlife with safe crossing.
Brown said this issue is likely to get worse over time.
"As wildlife habitat becomes more and more fragmented in an urbanizing Virginia, that makes it difficult in terms of management of wildlife population," he said.
Del. Mark Cole, R-Spotsylvania, voted against the bill. He said the measure would be too costly.
"I do not believe the legislation is needed and it will end up creating another bureaucratic process that will cost time and money for no real benefit," Cole said in an email. "The government is very good at establishing needless bureaucratic hurdles."
Marsden said the legislation is worthwhile, considering Virginia is one of the top states for wildlife collisions. In 2018, Virginia ranked 12th for deer collisions, with drivers facing a 1 in 99 chance of hitting a deer, according to data from State Farm.
"It's good for the animals and the drivers," Marsden said. "It's worth the effort to save property and save lives."
The bill now heads to the governor's desk.


While the city boarders mark a town of a friendly and agreeable size, the many districts offer an immense variety of different atmospheres and make you often wonder yourself if you're still wandering through the same metropolis. All neighbourhoods have two things in common: a warm friendly people and a rich experimental food culture. Gaborone boasts a range of hotels, and a choice of cinemas and casinos. Restaurants are numerous and varied, nightclubs often host live music by local artists. The National Museum is situated near the centre of town and houses important collections of traditional crafts and southern African fine art.
Gaborone is not different from any other city. It's soiled with Western needs, such as pubs and luxury hotels. But as soon as you leave the city and its main roads, it is as if you walk straight into another world. Offering the best of both possible worlds, the silence takes your breath away for a fraction of time while you enter into rural Africa or wildlife areas within minutes.

How The Archaeological Periods Relate To Security
By: sonitrol
Filed Under: Modern Day Security Threats, Safety Instincts
Threats have always existed and therefore so has the concept of safety, which is defined as being free from danger. Have you ever stopped to think about what threats our very distant relatives faced in the Stone Age, Bronze Age, or Iron Age?
They had little to protect themselves with, but through innovation and evolution, the human race has been preserved. Now we face 21st-century threats like identity theft and data hacks. But let's take a look at the evolution of security from the beginning.
Safety Instincts Have Always Been Around
At its most basic level, personal security can be argued as beginning in the stone age, which began some 2.5 million years ago in Africa when our distant relatives began creating tools and weapons out of stone and organic material including wood, leather, and bone. The stone age is a time when small tribes of people and whatever weapons they had at their disposal were the only sources of security when the unexpected might happen. Arrows, spearheads, and knives were some of the most common tools created during the stone age.
The stone age lasted more than 90% of human existence and ended around 3,000 BC when the Bronze Age started. This period lasted from 3,000-1,000 BC and replaced the stone age when bronze (a mixture of copper and tin) was used in place of stone, wood, leather etc to make tools and weapons. Bronze swords, daggers, and axes replaced stone weapons and brought about a significant cultural shift.
The bronze age ended around 1,000 BC when the Iron Age began, which brought more significant cultural changes as well, the most significant change being weaponry. Two-horse iron chariots changed the game in battles when heavily armored soldiers needed to get in and out of the battlefield quickly. Javelins, spears, small swords and daggers were the weapons of choice in the early Iron Age.
Present Day Security Threats And Solutions
After the Iron Age, many periods follow including the Roman era, medieval era, and more which all lead up to present day, 21st century. All of these different eras had one thing in common though: they each presented new technologies that brought about a cultural shift. We are currently in the midst of such a shift as we see Artificial Intelligence (AI) disrupting every industry, including security.
We're optimistic about the future of business security, but we've said it before and we'll say it again – there will always be a need to protect your people and your property. We look forward to seeing the effects of AI applications in the security industry in the coming years, but in the meantime, how about tried and true security solutions?

Holy Kit Kat, there are so many of you!
After work, my dad and I had dinner in Metrowalk. I don't enjoy going to here for personal reasons but Dad insisted so I said yes. We went around the 2nd floor and I only checked out one stall – Subarashi which sells diverse Japanese products including an assortment of Kit Kat flavors.
My Mom is a big fan of the original Kit Kat variant so we decided to take some home for her to try. These tiny Kit Kat bars retail for P60 each. They have other sizes that are larger and more expensive. Haha Subarashi has over a dozen flavors in stock when we passed by but we decided to stick to 5 so we wouldn't overwhelm ourselves.
The Sweet Potato Kit Kat wasn't as bad as I expected since I'm not a huge sweet potato fan. This bar isn't as sweet as the typical Kit Kat.
I was imagining how almond jelly would mix with milk chocolate but I was surprised to see that they used white chocolate for this. This Kit Kat flavor tastes good for a chocolate bar since it had the right hint almond jelly in it. However, this wafer bar lost its famous Kit Kat taste.
The cheesecake taste was strong in this variant and had a distinguishing sour taste. The blueberry kicked in as an after taste.
I was expecting the same sour taste from the Blueberry Cheesecake but it was nowhere to be found. The Strawberry Cheesecake Kit Kat was sweeter than the blueberry and reminded me of the Dewberry cookie.
What would mix well with brown sugar? I'd say milk chocolate! Alas it wasn't the case – this was another white chocolate wafer bar. I expected this to be my favorite from the bunch but after tasting it, the Brown Sugar Kit Kat left me dumbfounded. It took a couple of seconds for me to process my feelings. Odd as it may seem the brown sugar seemed disconnected from the chocolate bar – it tasted like they shouldn't go together.
Hands down my favorite was the Strawberry Cheesecake. All the variants did not remind me of the original kind at all. In my experience even with the permutations of Reese's I tried, nothing beats the original. It might be safe to say that this holds truth to other chocolates too because even though it was fun trying out the other types of Kit Kat, I'd still choose the original version.
a student of mine gave me kitkat hazelnut. it almost tasted like the original, super slight diff lang.
that's sad that the hazelnut taste was evident!

Q: lisp way of looping over bits of an integer Suppose I have an integer such as 109, 1101101 in binary. How do I iterate over bits of this number, eg: [64, 32, 8, 4, 1]? What would be a good way of doing that in lisp? Should I modify the for macro a bit by adding a case or should I just convert the integer into a bit-vector or a list?

A: If you want to process only "ones" then looping over all bits is not efficient if the ones are few. This is what I'd do in this case
(defmacro do-bits ((var x) &rest body)
  "Evaluates [body] forms after binding [var] to each set bit in [x]"
  (let ((k (gensym)))
    `(do ((,k ,x (logand ,k (1- ,k))))
         ((= ,k 0))
       (let ((,var (logand ,k (- ,k))))
         ,@body))))

It uses the nice 2-complement facts that bit-anding a number and its opposite returns the least significant set bit and that bit-anding a number and one less than the number zeroes this least significant set bit.
Note that this processing works from the least significant set bit to the most significant (in your example you used the opposite ordering)

A: Take a look at logbitp, which lets you access individual bits of an integer.  For example,
(loop for i below (integer-length 109)
      collect (if (logbitp i 109) 1 0))

=> (1 0 1 1 0 1 1)

A: This is probably less sophisticated, but will do. Note that you need to test for `zerop' before using it, because if you call it with zero the iteration callback will not be called.
(defun iterate-bits-of (x handler)
  (unless (zerop x)
    (and (funcall handler (logand x 1))
     (iterate-bits-of (ash x -1) handler))))

(iterate-bits-of
 #b1101101
 #'(lambda (x) (not (format t "bit ~b~&" x))))
;; bit 1
;; bit 0
;; bit 1
;; bit 1
;; bit 0
;; bit 1
;; bit 1

Also note that for big numbers `ash' may become quite expensive, in which case you probably want to use 6502's variant.

A: ( defun firstbit (x)
  ( logand x (- x)))

( defun ones (x)
  ( do (( bit (firstbit x) (firstbit x)) bits)
    (( zerop bit) bits)
    ( setq bits (cons bit bits))
    ( setq x (logxor x bit))))

provides
* (ones 109)

The Flexible Workspace Market
Longcroft House business centre sold
GKRE has successfully acted for the owners of Longcroft House Business Centre, London EC2, on the sale of the trading company to Clarendon Business Centres Limited who beat off stiff competition for the business.
The independent centre attracted a great deal of interest when confidentially marketed by GKRE, with several bids being received during the process. The transaction was completed with Clarendon within only 10 weeks of agreeing Heads of Terms, a period that spanned the Christmas break.
Longcroft House Business Centre was profitably run since January 2011 (although the centre has operated since 2007). The building was previously occupied by Royal Bank of Scotland.
The centre, uniquely set in its own courtyard opposite Liverpool Street station, comprises approximately 18,600 sq ft and has a current capacity of circa 244 workstations. Longcroft House had been well maintained by its owners and had recently been the subject of significant refurbishment.
Julian Cooper, Managing Director of Clarendon Business Centres said:
"We are delighted to have added a prestigious City location to the Clarendon portfolio. Longcroft House is operating at a consistently high occupancy and will continue to offer well appointed offices with excellent IT infrastructure. The centre will now benefit from the Clarendon network, and will retain the strong focus on customer service. We are pleased that negotiations were both swift and smooth, and that the transition has been seamless for clients."
GKRE director Douglas Green commented: "We are delighted to have helped the shareholders of Longcroft House Business Centre achieve such an excellent price for the business and for the sale to have concluded so quickly after the Christmas period."

American Muslim doctor Ayaz Virji had a well-paying position at a Pennsylvania hospital when he decided to uproot his family in 2013 and move to Dawson, a town with about 1,500 residents in white, rural Minnesota, NPR reported.
Virji says he "had the BMWs, the nice house, but it wasn't enough for me, I wanted to do more." "So I felt like I should do something about that. And it was back to the idea: If not me, then who?"
"People there are kind, you know, many of them are far better than I am as a person."
Then came the 2016 election when the majority of Dawson residents voted for President Trump, including Virji's patients.
With rising misconceptions about Islam and Muslims, fueled by political atmosphere, Virji was invited by Rev. Mandy France, then an intern at a local Lutheran church, to give a talk titled "Love Thy Neighbor" in a school auditorium.
"When we did our first talk, people protested," Virji said. "They said Muslims shouldn't be allowed to speak publicly. And I'm like, you guys know me. I'm the doctor. I treat you guys."
Ever since, he's given more than 25 lectures. He and France even addressed the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's national celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in 2017.
Now Virji has turned his talk into a book titled "Love Thy Neighbor: A Muslim Doctor's Struggle for Home in Rural America."
"I hope people read the book, and I hope that it starts conversations. If it starts conversations — that's all that it needs to do — then we're going to be in a much better place," he said.
Islam encourages Muslims to treat their neighbors in a gentle way that reflects the true and genuine spirit of Islam as exemplified in its tolerant aspect especially with people of other faiths.
It makes no difference whether the neighbors are Muslim or non-Muslim.
Situated in the north midwest area of the US, Minnesota is the 12th largest state in the country in terms of pure surface area. In terms of population, it ranks 21st, with an estimated population of 5.68 million in 2019.
When it comes to religious preferences, the Minnesota population comes in at 74% Christian based faiths, 5% non-Christian based faiths, and 20% not affiliated with any religion.
Back in 2002, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis said a "realistic" estimate of the statewide Muslim population in Minnesota was 70,000 to 80,000. The Muslim Student Association of Minnesota at the University of Minnesota estimates the state's current Muslim population at "over 100,000."

One dreary wet afternoon, a couple of years ago, I revisited Daylesford Church, one of Pearson's early works, and was disappointed to find the building locked and looking rather sad. Weeds in the gutters indicated poor maintenance and the signage looked shabby and unenticing. However, I had happy memories of earlier visits so I dashed back to the car determined to discover whether the church was now redundant and what, if anything, was planned for it.
A couple of weeks ago I was delighted to read that, since 2017, the church has been vested in a special trust and that it is now available for occasional Anglican and Roman Catholic worship. The Catholic 'chaplain' was not known to me but, of course Daylesford is technically in the Archdiocese of Birmingham as Daylesford was still an outlying parish in the county of Worcestershire when the Roman Catholic hierarchy was restored in 1850. Father Paul Berrett is a member of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. Clearly, Daylesford Church is now in good hands and, unlike so many other Victorian churches, it has a bright and secure future.
Why is this Anglican place of worship available for Roman Catholic worship? Is it a kind ecumenical gesture or is it a response to the religious affiliation of today's residents – after all Anthony Bamford of Daylesford House was brought up as a Roman Catholic and attended Ampleforth? There is, however, another possible reason for this initiative and this takes us back to the nineteenth century and to two cousins, both members of the Grisewood Family.
St Peter's Church, Daylesford, was re-built for the stockbroker, Harman Grisewood, between the years 1859 and 1863 and John Loughborough Pearson (1817-1897), the architect, commenced his plans for it in 1857. Interestingly, the medieval church had been re-built by Warren Hastings in 1816 but his successor at Daylesford, Harman Grisewood, did not consider his creation suitable for the more fashionable forms of Tractarian worship that were emerging during the 1860s.
Alan Brooks captured the feel of the new building when he wrote in his Pevsner Guide for the Cotswolds:
'The style is Early French Geometrical, as vigorously High Gothic as anything Pearson designed, and it is apparent that no expense was spared. The influence of William Burges is quite obvious; in fact the vigorously carved detail … was executed by Burges's favourite sculptor, Thomas Nicholls.'
The Daylesford Estate was sold to the stockbroker, Harman Grisewood in 1853 and he owned the property until his death on 17th November 1871. During his tenure many of the cottages on the estate were built and the village took on the character which visitors and residents so enjoy today.
Who was Harman Grisewood? Well he was born on 1st June 1821, son of George and Eleanor Grisewood, and baptised at St Mary's Finchley on 3rd July. He married Elizabeth Blackmore and, on the night of the 1851 census, they were listed, together with their elder son William, at a house on Wandsworth Common. Harman was described as a twenty-nine-year-old share jobber. Their younger son, Harman, who was not at home, was born on 15th March 1844 at Maida Vale and baptised at St Marylebone on 1st May.
When Harman Grisewood died, aged fifty, he not only held the Daylesford Estate but also his London home in Hill Street, Berkeley Square. Harman's brother, Henry Grisewood, was another successful stockbroker and he lived with his family in Chesham Place, off Belgrave Square. Henry died in 1874 aged fifty. One of Henry's sons was the Reverend Arthur George Grisewood and he held the living of Daylesford from 1882 until his death in 1918.
Memorial to Harman Grisewood (1821-1971)
Both Harman and his brother, Henry, are buried in the churchyard at Daylesford and the description for the listing of their monuments is as follows:
'Henry and Harman Grisewood monument in the churchyard of the Church of St. Peter c 4.5m east of east end of chancel GV II Monument on right to Henry Grisewood, died 1874, Anne his wife died 1893 and their sons Frederick died 1876 and Henry died 1886. Monument on left to Harman Grisewood died 1871. Limestone. Henry Grisewood monument; recumbent stone with raised central ridge running east-west. Upright monument at west end of Henry Grisewood on square plinth with moulded capping. Inscriptions within pointed blind arches flanked by columns with foliate capitals on east and west faces of monument above, female figures one leaning on an anchor, one holding a lily within arches on north and south sides respectively, foliate decoration in spandrels, moulded capping above with brattishing. Conical spirelet above with cross finial at apex. Monument to Harman Grisewood c2m south; recumbent stone with raised central ridge, square cross shaft on stepped square base at west end. Figure of angel within gabled niche half-way up shaft. Harman Grisewood was patron to the building of the Church of St. Peter (q.v.).'
We now come to the cousins, Harman and Arthur George Grisewood. After Rugby, Arthur George Grisewood studied at Christ Church, Oxford. He matriculated on 10th October 1873, aged eighteen, received his B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1880. He was deaconed for Truro Diocese in 1880 and two years later was ordained priest for the Diocese of Worcester. He served his title at St Paul's Truro before moving to the Parish of Blockley in 1882. Within the year he became the Rector of Daylesford.
The advowson had been sold with the manor to Harman Grisewood who left it in his will to his brother, Henry, and after, Henry's death in 1874, this passed to his son Arthur.
Harman Grisewood, Junior, was at least ten years older than his cousin, Arthur. Like him he studied at Christ Church, Oxford, matriculating on 18th January 1863, aged eighteen. He gained both his B.A. and M.A. in 1869. During the year that followed he was received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. In the book, 'Converts to Rome' by W. Gordon-Gorman, the author lists under Christchurch, Oxford, 'The Reverend Harman Grisewood of Daylesford House.' I have yet to find another reference to Harman being made an Anglican deacon but it has occurred to me that it may have been intended that Harman should become the Rector of Daylesford and that his 'defection' led to Arthur fulfilling that role instead.
Certainly, Harman did not pursue the Catholic priesthood as, after his father's death in 1871, the Daylesford Estate was sold, and young Harman seems to have lived abroad. On 12th June 1876 he married Maria Concetta di Messina in Paris, possibly at Notre Dame. Maria was born in Malta and she and her husband had seven children. In 1901 the family was living in Bognor and Harman Grisewood died in 1909 and his widow in 1934.
Two cousins, Harman and Arthur, one the Rector and the other a Catholic convert. Today their lives seem symbolic – expressing the way in which so many families were divided by matters of conscience and religious affiliation. It is so appropriate that in our own day the beautiful church at Daylesford should have a future open to the rich liturgies of both the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches. Deo Gratias.
