Florida Gators hire assistant coach Ja'Juan Seider from West Virginia

With 2017 National Signing Day now in the books, Florida Gators head coach Jim McElwain has turned his attention to filling the two vacant openings on his coaching staff.
The first one of those two hires came on Friday as Florida brought in West Virginia running backs Ja'Juan Seider, presumably to the same position. UF did not announce which position Seider will take on the coaching staff.
"We are excited to have Ja'Juan in the Gator family. A lot is talked about his ability to recruit, but he is more than that — he is a great coach as well," said McElwain in a statement released by the school. "Recruiting is about relationships and he does a great job of connecting and relating to players not only while is recruiting them, but while they are play for him and well after their playing days are over."
Seider, a former WVU player who transferred to Florida A&M, has coached with the Mountaineers since 2013 and is known to be a tremendous recruiter dating back to his time at Marshall (2010-12). He's also a native of Belle Glade, Florida, and joining the Gators will allow him to return to his home state. Seider focused on recruiting South Florida at both programs and saw success, due in large part to his ties to the area. After graduating but prior to beginning his college coaching career, he served as an assistant at Glades Central High School (2001-02), Palm Beach Lakes High School (2003-05) and Lake Worth High School (2006-08).
He made $340,000 last year at West Virginia.
"I've always had an affinity for this university and am honored to have the opportunity to join the Florida Gators family. I look forward to working with Coach Mac and his staff. I can't wait to meet the players, spend time with them and help them achieve their goals," said Seider.

In hiring Seider, McElwain will likely need to adjust his coaching staff by moving current running backs coach Tim Skipper to defense, probably as linebackers coach. Skipper is a former linebacker who has experience coaching all over the field, including his former position. Such a shift was first proposed by OnlyGators.com after then-defensive coordinator Geoff Collins left to take over the Temple program.
With Randy Shannon promoted to defensive coordinator, Skipper would take over his new boss' positional responsibilities. Defensive line coach Chris Rumph or defensive backs coach Torrian Gray could be given additional responsibility on that side of the ball as Florida will not have a separate "co-coordinator" like it did the last two seasons.
That would also leave offensive line coach as the only remaining staff position open barring further attrition. FootballScoop.com reports that hire is "imminent."
"The one thing we wanted to do is make sure we get the absolute right fit," McElwain said on Wednesday of filling his vacancies. "The plan was there. We had the plan. That will happen here shortly."

Is alert is used only for BPM?
How to use alerts in A2A scenario?
where actually an Interface is linked to the alert?
I am not able to view the alert configuration page in the RWB, Do i need to do any settings to open it?
Alert can be used for any scenario...not only for BPM.
How to use?? Alerts are normally used to indicate the support person of any error in message processing.
At two places....not sure in which context you are talking.
In ALRTCATDEF when you define the alert, you make use of Alert Container Variables....here you can associate the Interface name in the alert message.
2) Or you are not using FQDN when you are trying to open the Alert Configuration tab....if it is visible.
I am using my personal system so no admin, everything i have to do myself.
Check out these blogs for alert configuration.
For the above error you will have to add a service in SICF.
There you will have to activate ALRTINBOX.
After activating you will have to register the service. Once done this issue will be solved.
Thanks for the response. I have been to SICF, SAP->BC->BSP->SAP->ALRTINBOX(BSP) its status shows that it already active. but when i test the service. gives the same BSP error.

Vauxhall Shows Belief in Its Products – or Is It Just That It Needs Your Business?
Posted by Bussey Vehicle Leasing - 12/08/2010 - Motoring News
For some time now, eastern car manufacturers such as Kia & Hyundai, have offered new car warranties that far exceed those offered by the "mainstream" car makers, such as Ford, Vauxhall, Renault etc. and whilst it would seem charitable to believe its because they've got that much faith in the products they make, I believe its actually more about getting new customers and selling more cars.
Clearly, most of us wouldn't immediately think about buying a car we don't know much about, or that we haven't owned before, or indeed, one that no one you even know has owned before. However we might do, if its cheap, or if it offers some other benefit over its competition and if that's the case, well we might just take that risk and that's how less popular car makers like Kia and Hyundai, have established themselves in the UK. Its got to be said, both Kia & Hyundai have done a pretty good job in convincing us to buy their products and this hasn't gone unnoticed by the big players who are now beginning to realise that to sell cars in that market, well they've got to compete and that having a more established badge alone, just isn't going to cut it.
In the light of this, Vauxhall have just announced what it refers to as a 'Lifetime Warranty' which it seems runs throughout the life of the car or up to 100,000 miles. The warranty is free when you buy the car new and includes the cars power-train, steering system, electrical equipment and braking system, but to keep it in force, owners will have to take their cars to a Vauxhall dealer every 12 months for a free vehicle inspection. The warranty will apply to all cars registered after 1st August 2010
The warranty only applies to the cars original owner, but Vauxhall says its going to make it available to second owners (those of us that buy the car used), but that it will be at a price, so you're going to be charged for taking the warranty over. Details of how much the cost is likely to be haven't been announced yet, but on the basis that this incentive is to sell new cars and not 3 year old used ones, I don't see them doing the used buyer any favours, so I cant imagine its going to be cheap.
The Vauxhall offer follows on the heels of its sister franchise Chevrolet, who extended a 5 year warranty to a couple of its cars, the Aveo and the Cruze back in April 2010, but along with the warranty, buyers of Aveo or Cruze also got 3 years or 30,000 miles worth of free servicing.
Toyota announced in July, that its now offering a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty on its cars and that's great news, but one expects it's the first of the 'big players' to jump, simply because of all the recall issues that have dogged Toyota for the last few months and the lengthening of the warranty, from 3 years to 5 years is to try and restore buyer confidence in the product
For many buyers, the extended warranties won't really matter, as the vast number of drivers keep their cars 3 years or less and most do less than 60,000 miles in that time, so putting the warranty up to 'one million miles' really wouldn't make any difference. That said, it's a bit like buying a divers watch that will work 200 metres under the sea…you're never going to need it, or use it, however, its nice to know you could! These initiatives are not aimed at 'Joe Public' but at business users and company car fleets, but the trickle down 'feel good' factor will mean that even a driver that does less than 10,000 miles a year will feel more confident about buying a car that seemingly offers more support.
So considering everything, it seems pretty inevitable that these longer or higher mileage warranties are going to become the norm and I would expect once the car makers get their heads around the fact that its not actually going to cost them any more in the vast majority of cases, and where it does, that cost can be aggregated across every unit (car) they sell, they will think the extra costs involved are worth it so that they stack up against their competitors. After all, it's a tough position to defend, when a customer tells a sales guy that he can get a 100,000 mile warranty on an alternative car, and asks the sales person why they can't you offer it as well – or is it that you don't have faith in your product?

Speed issues with apple IIgs?
I recently aquired a couple of old AGI Sierra game for Apple IIgs. I've realized that ScummVM is able to play them.
So I copied everything over and everything seems to work flawlessly.
However, the games seem to be a bit too fast. AM I doing something wrong?
Topic: Monkey Island 1 "perfect" CD audo sync?
Haha, the good old Mitsumi! Was my first CD-ROM, too.
Included with the game is a short graphic novel detailling what happened before Gabriel gets on the train.
You are supposed to find the kidnapped baby son of a French prince. Gabriel folowed the kidnapper to the train.
All evidence suggests that these kidnappers might have been vampires.
I don't know what I was putting into my search command but I came up empty.
Anyway, thank for clearing that up.
Re: Is it possible to scummvm the strategy game like dune2?
UFO wrote: Because they are too slow to play under DOS-BOX.
By the way, the games you mention run perfectly in DOSBox. Maybe you just haven't set enough cycles?
Honestly, I would probably take the one from Amazon as well. I thought it might be a good idea to have two MIDI Interfaces because I had originally planned to buy an additional MT-32 to my CM-32L but there's really no reason.
I think that probably all these USB-MIDI devices will work.
I use a RoMI/O II and it works flawlessly and I suppose most MIDI/USB-devices will.
In both DOSBox and ScummVM it is only necessary to choose midi-device 2.
I wanted to ask if some additional features like Automapping might be possible?
There's an unofficial Amiga AGA port of Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2, which features automap.


Been a whole lot of supercell talk this past week, it was nice to get a break and take some pictures of Tyler and Drew. Tyler is the girl, Drew is the boy, and we had a blast hanging out in Prescott, where it was only 85 degrees instead of 110. A lot more to come!

O.J. Simpson Found Not Guilty In Murder Case On This Day In 1995
Written By D.L. Chandler
The 1995 murder case of football legend O.J. Simpson (pictured center) was one of the most-explosive media moments in the dawn of the Internet age. From the time news of the killings of Simpson's wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and friend Ronald Goldman made the headlines, the case held the attention of the nation in a vice grip.
SEE ALSO: Hampton's Mary Peake Led 1st Day Of School For Freedmen On This Day In 1861
Brown, Simpson, and Goldman were found murdered inside her Los Angeles condo on June 13, 1994. Split from her husband two years prior, the former NFL great immediately became a prime suspect. After agreeing to turn himself in to police on June 17th, Simpson never appeared and left behind what experts later determined to be a suicide letter. The letter, read by defense attorney Robert Kardashian, added a new wrinkle to the case as a city-wide search for Simpson was underway.
The infamous "White Bronco" event was also bizarre, with Simpson's friend Al Cowling driving him around and leading police on a chase that was televised live. After finally surrendering, police found a loaded handgun, cash, a disguise, and clothing. Although Simpson maintained his innocence from the onset, Simpson's actions clearly mirrored those of a man looking for an escape route.
After months of legal haggling from the time of Simpson's official arraignment on June 20th, he plead not guilty to the double homicide. The evidence was mounting high against Simpson, but the case was tainted by the actions of shamed MLB player Jose Camancho who allegedly sold a knife similar to the one used to murder Brown Simpson and Goldman. Camancho reportedly sold his story to the National Enquirer for $12,500.
The trial officially began January 24, 1995, in Los Angeles at the California Supreme Court, later moving to the Criminal Courts Building in Santa Monica. Televised almost exclusively by Court TV and several major outlets, the case that prosecutor Marcia Clark and District Attorney Christopher Darden were building looked to be a lock for their side. However, Simpson amassed a so-called "Dream Team" of attorneys, including F. Lee Bailey, Robert Shapiro, the aforementioned Kardashian, and the late Johnny Cochran.
The racial tensions present in the trial also divided the country.
Nicole and Goldman, both White, captured the sympathies of those who felt Simpson was nothing more than a jealous brute. On the other side, Los Angeles had a history of tampering with evidence and convicting African Americans with stronger sentences while Whites often got off free. Cochran wisely stated in court that then-LAPD chief Mark Fuhrman, known for his racist ways, may have planted evidence, such as the bloody glove, at the crime scene.
Cochran's famous quip, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit," became a common refrain in newspapers and in video reports. Simpson placed the glove over his hand — and to no avail — it didn't fit. The lasting image (pictured above) of this act was one of the more damning blows for the prosecution.
Watch Cochran say the famous refrain here:
On the morning of October 3 at 10:00 a.m., the jury turned in a not-guilty verdict, stopping the entire nation in its tracks as the news broke.
The verdict was such an event that then-President Bill Clinton was given security measures to enact and police stood guard at government buildings. An estimated 100-million people worldwide stopped whatever activity they were involved in to listen to the verdict, and productivity in nearly every industry was at a standstill.
Since the verdict, however, Simpson's life has not been a cakewalk.
A civil suit brought by the families of Nicole and Goldman attacked his finances and earnings, and he engaged in several ill-advised antics to raise monies in the wake of the trial. A 2006 book titled "If I Did It" was released, raising speculation that Simpson was the actual killer — or at least knew who ended the life of his ex-wife and her friend.
Simpson is currently jailed on robbery and other charges.

New Mail Nigeria
NSE suspends trading on Skye Bank shares
Kayode Ogundele
The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Friday officially notified the investing public that Skye Bank Plc shares would be suspended from trading on Sept. 24.
The exchange gave the notice in Lagos in a statement by Olumide Orojimi, Head, Corporate Communications and Godstime Iwenekhai Head, Listings Regulations.
NSE said in the statement that the action was taken following the recent regulatory action of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) revoking the banking license of Skye Bank.
The exchange said that the decision was pursuant to the "Rules on Suspension of Trading in Listed Securities, Rulebook of The Exchange (Issuers' Rules)."
It stated that further developments would be communicated as appropriate in due course.
CBN has revoked the banking licence of the Bank, and transferred its assets and liabilities to a newly licensed bridge bank called Polaris Bank.
Godwin Emefiele, CBN Governor, said at a news conference in Lagos that the decision was due to failure of its shareholders to recapitalise the bank.
Emefiele, however, said that the purpose of the CBN's intervention in Skye Bank on July 4, 2016 had been achieved.
He said that the focus of the action then was to save depositors' funds and to ensure that the bank continued as a growing concern, being a systemically important bank.
"Part of our intention was also to stem the imminent job losses to staff if a liquidation option had been adopted.
"These objectives have been fully achieved and the bank has been able to meet customer obligations, having curtailed the liquidity haemorrhage and restored depositor confidence.
Indeed, the bank's performance has improved considerably compared to the pre-July 2016 era", he said.
Emefiele said that the result of its examinations and forensic audit of the bank showed that the bank required urgent recapitalisation.
According to him, the bank can no longer continue to live on borrowed times with indefinite liquidity support from the CBN.
He added that the bank's shareholders were unable to recapitalise it.
"As a responsible and responsive regulator and in consultation with the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), we have decided to establish a bridge bank, Polaris Bank, to assume the assets and liabilities of Skye bank.
"The strategy is for the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) to capitalise the bridge bank and begin the process of sourcing investors to buy out AMCON," Emefiele said.
He, however, assured all depositors that under the arrangement, their deposits shall remain safe and that normal banking services shall continue in the new bank on Sept. 24.
The CBN governor said te arrangement was to enable customers to transact their businesses seamlessly.
He said that all customers of Skye Bank shall be automatic customers of the new bank and their accounts and records duly purchased by Polaris Bank.
The NDIC has sold Polaris Bank to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) with the mandate to stabilise the bank as well as return it to profitability for the purpose of selling it to interested Investors.
Consequently, AMCON will inject N786 billion into Polaris Bank to bring it's net value to zero.

Upcoming Strike of Bank workers - 5 August 2011
Interview with Comrade Ramanand about the upcoming Strike of Bank workers
Following the call for an all-India strike on 5th August by the United Forum of Bank Unions (5 employees' unions and 4 officers' unions), correspondents of Mazdoor Ekta Lehar interviewed one of the most senior leaders of bank workers in Delhi on 13th July, 2011. Comrade Ramanand is General Secretary of the Delhi State - Bank Employees Federation and one of the leading members of All-India Bank Employees' Association
MEL Correspondents: What are the key demands for which this strike has been called?
Comrade Ramanand: The most important issues are the drive towards privatisation of banking in our country, dilution of government ownership, merger of state owned banks, unrestricted entry of foreign capital and allowing the big industrial houses to start their own banks. We are also opposing the drive towards outsourcing of normal banking services, violation of working hours for "officers" and the anti-worker recommendations of the Khandelwal Committee.
MEL: Can you please explain your opposition to privatisation?
Com R: Privatisation is not only anti-worker but against the interests of the entire nation. All the public sector banks are making profits so there is no justification for privatising them. In the recent global crisis, the biggest banks that went bankrupt in the United States and Europe were private banks. In our country some private banks were affected but the public sector banks have remained financially healthy. Privatisation is only in the interests of big capitalists who want to convert national assets into their private wealth. The land, buildings and other real assets owned by state owned banks in our country is much more than what they owe their depositors. This is the reason that both Indian and foreign capitalists are interested in acquiring them.
MEL: Is there a connection between privatisation and the proposal for merger of state owned banks, which is also being opposed by the unions?
Com R: The merger of state-owned banks, which is being called "consolidation", is motivated by the desire to make all Indian banks "globally competitive". This means to make as high a rate of profit as the biggest private banks of the world. It has nothing to do with serving the economy of our country, in which the majority of people live in rural areas and are very poor. The government claims that financial inclusion is one of its goals, which means to include every member of our society in the benefits of banking services. If banking services are to become accessible to all our people, then we need at least one bank branch in every village. However, merging banks in the name of global competitiveness means to cut down the number of branches, retaining only the most profitable ones. Our country needs mass banking whereas the government wants class banking, oriented to serve only the capitalist minority. Mass banking requires nationalisation of the entire banking industry, not privatisation.
MEL: Is it not true that big corporate houses have been receiving the maximum benefits from even the nationalised banks?
Com R: Yes, the big capitalists get loans at lower interest than small businessmen and farmers. The priority sector lending has been reduced over time, and the private banks have no rural branches and do not lend to agriculture. If a peasant does not repay his loan and interest on time, his assets are seized; but the big capitalists get away without repaying many loans. Our union has exposed the list of largest defaulters, including Reliance and Tatas. They filed a defamation suit against the General Secretary of our union, but that case has lapsed. They could not prove that we are wrong. The corporate houses are not satisfied with the benefits they already enjoy; their greed is unlimited.
MEL: What are the restrictions on foreign capital that the government wants to remove and what are its consequences?
Com R: Foreign citizens and non-resident Indians already hold majority shareholding in many privately owned Indian banks today, such as Indus Ind Bank, ING Vysya Bank, ICICI Bank and Yes Bank. However, there is a 10% ceiling on the voting rights of such foreign investors irrespective of the proportion of shares they own, under Section 12(2) of the Banking Regulation Act. The Central Government has introduced a Bill in Parliament to delete this clause. If this is passed it would immediately make our private sector banks vulnerable for take-over by foreign capital.
MEL: What are the recommendations of the recently constituted Khandelwal Committee, which the unions are opposing?
Com R: The recommendations include doing away with standard pay scales and industry-wide negotiated settlements between the employers and employees. The Khandelwal Committee proposes to establish variable pay scales and incentives linked to "productivity" and "profitability". Look at the actual conditions of bank workers. Some of us handle client services, others are involved in assessing loan requests, some work in very busy branches, others are in branches with a lighter customer load. It is illogical and unfair to link staff salaries with how much loans are advanced or how many customers are serviced. All those working in banks are united in their complete opposition to these recommendations, which are aimed at further weakening and destroying the unions.
MEL: Can you explain the attempts to weaken and do away with unions?
Com R: First of all, the numbers of regular positions are being reduced by resorting to outsourcing of various functions. These include not only cleaning and security functions but also core banking services in the name of "business correspondents". Secondly, the Industrial Disputes Act recognises union rights only for "employees" and not for "officers". This is an entirely arbitrary division. Large numbers of bank workers are today working on computer terminals and are skilled workers. By calling them officers they are being deprived of their rights, including even the right to regular working hours. The proportion of "employees" is being reduced over time, thereby weakening the negotiating strength of the unions.
MEL: How have officers in state-owned banks still managed to form unions? And are there any efforts to establish unions in the private banks?
Com R: We succeeded when banking was entirely in the public sector and regular employees were in the majority. In private banks today we have tried but it is very difficult because the vast majority of workers are designated as officers. Those employed by private banks are under threat of being thrown out if they try to form unions.
MEL: We understand that you have called for strike action because the government is not agreeing to the just demands you have explained. Has there been any agreement at all, on any of your demands?
Com R: Our demand for compensatory employment for a family member in cases when an employee dies in service was agreed to by the IBA, the association of bank managements. However, the settlement of this issue has been awaiting government approval for two years.
MEL: We consider the struggle being waged by bank workers to be extremely important for the working class movement and the future of our country. We will do our best to mobilise support among the general public for your just cause. We thank you for spending the time and effort to answer all our questions.
Com R: You are most welcome, and please contact me again if you have any further questions.

A Conversation on Privacy With Edward Snowden, Noam Chomsky, and Glenn Greenwald
Snowden noted that Belgian authorities overlooked signs of a terror attack. "When you collect everything, you understand nothing," he said. "You're blinded by the noise."
Alex Emmons
March 30 2016, 10:37 p.m.
NSA WHISTLEBLOWER Edward Snowden joined MIT professor Noam Chomsky and The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald on Friday for a discussion on privacy rights hosted by the University of Arizona College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. The panel was moderated by Nuala O'Connor, the president of the Center for Democracy and Technology.
The panel marked Snowden's first public appearance after the terror attacks in Brussels. Commenting on Belgium's intelligence failures, he referenced New York Times reporting that Belgian authorities ignored a tip from Turkish intelligence. "When you collect everything, you understand nothing … you're blinded by the noise," Snowden said. "I worked at that desk, I used the tools of mass surveillance."
Panelists also discussed the recent showdown between Apple and the FBI over access to San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook's iPhone. Snowden questioned the FBI's motives for hacking the phone, explaining that the bureau already has the phone's call records. "They already know that these phones weren't in contact with foreign terrorists," Snowden said.

Organ transplantation, one of the medical miracles of the twentieth century, has prolonged and improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. The many great scientific and clinical advances of dedicated health professionals, as well as countless acts of generosity by organ donors and their families, have made transplantation not only a life-saving therapy but a shining symbol of human solidarity. Yet these accomplishments have been tarnished by numerous reports of trafficking in human beings who are used as sources of organs and of patient-tourists from rich countries who travel abroad to purchase organs from poor people. In 2004, the World Health Organization, called on member states "to take measures to protect the poorest and vulnerable groups from transplant tourism and the sale of tissues and organs, including attention to the wider problem of international trafficking in human tissues and organs" (1).
To address the urgent and growing problems of organ sales, transplant tourism and trafficking in organ donors in the context of the global shortage of organs, a Summit Meeting of more than 150 representatives of scientific and medical bodies from around the world, government officials, social scientists, and ethicists, was held in Istanbul from April 30 to May 2, 2008. Preparatory work for the meeting was undertaken by a Steering Committee convened by The Transplantation Society (TTS) and the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) in Dubai in December 2007. That committee's draft declaration was widely circulated and then revised in light of the comments received. At the Summit, the revised draft was reviewed by working groups and finalized in plenary deliberations.
This Declaration represents the consensus of the Summit participants. All countries need a legal and professional framework to govern organ donation and transplantation activities, as well as a transparent regulatory oversight system that ensures donor and recipient safety and the enforcement of standards and prohibitions on unethical practices.
Unethical practices are, in part, an undesirable consequence of the global shortage of organs for transplantation. Thus, each country should strive both to ensure that programs to prevent organ failure are implemented and to provide organs to meet the transplant needs of its residents from donors within its own population or through regional cooperation. The therapeutic potential of deceased organ donation should be maximized not only for kidneys but also for other organs, appropriate to the transplantation needs of each country. Efforts to initiate or enhance deceased donor transplantation are essential to minimize the burden on living donors. Educational programs are useful in addressing the barriers, misconceptions and mistrust that currently impede the development of sufficient deceased donor transplantation; successful transplant infrastructure.
Access to healthcare is a human right but often not a reality. The provision of care for living donors before, during and after surgery–as described in the reports of the international forums organized by TTS in Amsterdam and Vancouver (2-4)–is no less essential than taking care of the transplant recipient. A positive outcome for a recipient can never justify harm to a live donor; on the contrary, for a transplant with a live donor to be regarded as a success means that both the recipient and the donor have done well.
This Declaration builds on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (5). The broad representation at the Istanbul Summit reflects the importance of international collaboration and global consensus to improve donation and transplantation practices. The Declaration will be submitted to relevant professional organizations and to the health authorities of all countries for consideration. The legacy of transplantation must not be the impoverished victims of organ trafficking and transplant tourism but rather a celebration of the gift of health by one individual to another.

What I'm Watching: Search Party
Search Party: Season 5, Episode 6 "The Gospel of Judas" (B+)
This show manages to attract top-tier talent, and I'm not sure if we'll even see more of the group played by Lou Diamond Phillips, Illeana Douglas, Michael Ian Black, and Scott Adsit, but what a spectacular list of actors! There are obviously a few cults that exist in this show's universe, and it's not just Dory's colored disciples who are fervently tied to a particular cause. The discovery that Dory was being poisoned was a disturbing one, especially when it turned out to be Portia who had the vial in her possession, though her reaction indicated that she wasn't actually responsible. All that seemed to be forgotten when Dr. Benny leapt out of the window following her unfortunate run-in with the mutant rat, suggesting that there is something seriously wrong with whatever Tunnel is cooking up. His mind was elsewhere when he was on the phone trying to get hired affirmation, and Dr. Benny landing on his car severely disrupted any sense of calm he might have achieved. Elliott is also likely to be very disturbed given the lengths he had to go to in order to get Dr. Benny to give him what he needed, though he's never been terribly good at acknowledging reality or processing anything he's been through in his life. He did commit, but Drew also was unusually productive, seeking out answers and then forcing the people he met to finally give him a last name after they kept telling their very long and detailed story.

Q: Can one execute a completionBlock from ASIHTTPRequest/AFNetworking on a background thread? I start my ASIHTTPrequest synchronously in a separate thread like this :
//inside this start method I create my ASIHTTPRequest and start it
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(0, 0), ^{
    [process start];
});

But the completionBlock is still fired on the main thread. Can one keep the execution of the completionBlock in the same thread as where the request was started?
The only thing i can come up with to solve this is to define a dispatch queue and manually execute the completionBlock in the same thread, thus holding a reference to a created queue. But that does not solve it directly because you would pass for a freaking little moment in the main thread before redirecting the rest of the code to the created dispatch queue.
Does someone have a better solution?
EDIT: The same is also true for AFNetworking completion blocks...

A: Ok, to answer my own question :
ASIHTTPRequest framework does not have an option to start completion blocks in a different thread.
Instead one can use the AFNetwork framework. Here you have two properties on any type of AFOperation called 'successCallbackQueue' and 'failureCallbackQueue'. Where you can add a predefined 'dispatch_queue_t' to handle the execution of success and failure blocks.
Hope this will help others with the same problem!
UPDATE : Example
 dispatch_queue_t requestQueue = dispatch_queue_create("requestQueue", NULL);
 AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:yourRequest];
 operation.successCallbackQueue = requestQueue;
 operation.failureCallbackQueue = requestQueue;
 [operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    // add code for completion
 } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    // add code for failure
 }];
 [operation start];

A: Try using a defined queue of your own creation. Then you can (once it finally finishes, in its completion block) signal back to the global queue to update any display necessary.

Acromegaly, which affects fewer than 15 people per 100,000, arises from excess production of growth hormone (GH). In more than 90% of cases, a pituitary tumor stimulates this overproduction. The excess GH disrupts glucose and lipid metabolism, which can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes.
In addition, high levels of circulating GH induce the release of Insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-1) from the liver. IGF-1 has powerful anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative activities which could be the stimulus for much of the overgrowth seen in acromegaly as well as carpal tunnel syndrome, debilitating arthritis, and sleep apnea.
The cardiovascular effects of too much IGF-1 and GH include elevated plasma volume, renal sodium and water retention, and cardiac hypertrophy, potentially resulting in or escalating already present hypertension and cardiac disease.
It has been suggested that acromegaly could be identified earlier if those that present with several of these concomitant disorders be tested for elevated IGF-1 and GH. The early detection of acromegaly may prevent or delay the rise of complications.
The clinical presentation of acromegaly, or jaw prognathism, brow bossing, acral overgrowth, and hyperhidrosis, can be readily apparent. These features of acromegaly tend to diminish the quality of life, but it is concomitant diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus which can reduce life expectancy for these patients. Unfortunately, many often go years before being diagnosed. Once diagnosed, however, treatment is fairly effective at reducing the clinical features and normalizing the conditions that lead to these concomitant diseases.
Pituitary tumors in acromegaly
There are several pituitary tumor variants in acromegaly but the most common, nearly 80-90% of them, are somatotroph tumors of which there are two types, densely granulated (DG) and sparsely granulated (SG). DG tumors are more common and slow growing. Acromegaly in patients over 50 years of age often have this type of tumor. SG tumors grow more rapidly and are more common in younger patients. They are also associated with lower GH and IGF-1 release.
Pituitary tumors express high densities of somatostatin receptors (SST-R), the most common receptors being SST-R2 and SST-R5. SG tumors express lower levels of SST-R2, which may be the reason why some acromegaly patients seem less responsive to treatment.
Treating Acromegaly
Much about acromegaly is unconventional. Many disorders use surgery as a last resort, however the international acromegaly community suggests that surgery be the first line of defense. A transsphenoidal approach (that is through the nose and sphenoid sinus) can remove the tumor, decrease GH and IGF-1 levels, and improve symptoms. In patients with inoperable tumors or with residual hormone elevations, the second line of defense has been drug treatment.
The most common class of drug used in acromegaly are somatostatin analogs (SSA). Somatostatins are a class of inhibitory hormones. SSAs work in a similar manner by reducing the action of somatostatin receptors on GH release. SSAs are effective in about 30-80% of acromegaly patients. For tumors that are unresponsive to SSA treatment, patients can try dopamine agonists (bromocriptine) or growth hormone receptor antagonists (pegviscomant). All drugs have been shown to diminish tumor size and lower GH and IGF-1 levels. All have good safety profiles. Side effects usually involve gastrointestinal issues and irritation at the injection site.
The problem of injections
With the exception of bromocriptine, which is taken orally, all of these drugs are injected. When octreocide, the most prescribed SSA for acromegaly, was first introduced patients had to endure 2-4 times daily subcutaneous injections. Eventually, a long-acting version of octreocide (Oct-LAR) was introduced and patients were given one intramuscular injection every four weeks. To many, this was an improvement, but not a solution.
To find out why, EndocrineWeb reached out to Lewis Blevins, M.D., Medical Director of the California Center for Pituitary Disorders at UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco, CA. He told us:
"Most acromegaly patients have thickened skin as a consequence of their disorder. The injections are often difficult, and a fair number of them develop subcutaneous nodules that are painful as a consequence of injected somatostatin analogues. Some of these drugs require administration by a healthcare provider while others can be administered by patients themselves or a family member. Thus, injections are challenging."
Oral octreotide
An FDA Phase III clinical trial referred to as OPTIMAL, is exploring the efficacy of an oral octreotide drug in acromegaly patients. This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study was based on good results in earlier studies.
A previous clinical trial of oral octreotide, switched acromegaly patients from their injected SSA to an oral capsule. This was an open-label, dose-titration, baseline control study. Patients were given twice daily doses of octreocide. At 7 months, 65% of patients maintained their goal IGF-1 and GH levels, and 62% of patients kept these hormones low through another 6 months. Approximately 17% of patients were withdrawn for lack of response.
Early promising results of the OPTIMAL study were presented in an ENDO2020 abstract by Susan L. Samson, MD, PhD, Medical Director of the Pituitary Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. This study is comparing oral octreotide capsules to placebo. In addition to the discomfort of frequent injections, Dr. Samson describes the reasoning why an oral treatment is preferred to injections:
"Patient survey data has been published which has revealed a dichotomy between physicians' perceived treatment satisfaction with injectable SSAs and the patients' perspective. There has been an emergence of data showing that patient‐reported acromegaly associated symptoms such as headache, sweating, joint pain, and tissue swelling can worsen or "breakthrough" nearing the end of the SSA injection period even in spite of a biochemically controlled IGF‐1. The need for timed injections can also lead to a feeling of loss of independence, with time lost at work to have the injections and a need to organize life events (e.g. vacations) around the injection date. The oral octreotide capsules have the potential to address these patient concerns because there are no painful injections, no appointments for injections, and, hopefully, the steady state levels of the oral drug also would prevent bothersome breakthrough acromegaly symptoms."
Patients participating were previously treated with long-acting injected SSAs. For this study, they were assigned to either placebo or oral octreotide upon completion of their fourth week after their last injection. The primary outcome looked at IGF-1 levels at 36 weeks compared to baseline. Secondary outcomes included GH levels, time to loss of IGF-1 responsiveness, and time to emergency rescue injection (if needed).
In the oral octreotide treatment group, 58% of patients maintained IGF-1 levels at or less than the upper limit of normal (1xULN) throughout the 36-week period. Only 19% of placebo patients did, and 68% of placebo patients needed a rescue octreotide injection to lower hormone levels.
Experts respond to oral octreotide results
Anthony Heaney, MD, Director of the Pituitary Tumor and Neuroendocrine Program at the UCLA Gonda Diabetes Center in Los Angeles told EndocrineWeb, "It is extremely encouraging for patients with acromegaly that this safe and well-tolerated oral octreotide preparation maintained the IGF-1 ≤ 1.0 x ULN in almost 60% of patients in this multinational study of 56 patients with acromegaly. For many years, injectable somatostatin receptor ligands have been a key tool for acromegaly therapy and availability of oral versions of these agents is long awaited."
Dr. Blevins agrees, telling us that "an oral therapy for acromegaly solves a lot of logistical problems and is not associated with the discomfort of injectable drugs. In many ways the advent of oral medicine is the new face of treatment for the disease and gives acromegaly patients hope for a better alternative to control their disease."
Dr. Bjugstad reports no conflicts with regard to her involvement in conducting or discussing this study. Dr. Blevins and Dr. Heaney report no current conflicts with regard to discussing this study. Dr. Samson receives funding from Chiasma and serves as an advisor.

Dock.io is a blockchain based technology that enables users to exchange and transfer data between different platforms.
There are many centralized platforms used by business owners and employers used to source their workforce.
Unfortunately, the platforms are known to hoard tons of personal data.
Dock.io seeks to solve this problem.
The Dock token incentivise applications to exchange and transfer data between two or more decentralized applications.
Dock.io's native cryptocurrency is given as reward to applications that facilitate exchange of data.
Built on top of Ethereum, Dock.io uses a special data encryption technology together with its native cryptocurrency to encourage data sharing between platforms.
It connects the online profiles and reputation of users using the blockchain.
It's a decentralized platform that's not controlled by any third-party. Using the Dock app, users update their information onto the Dock.io platform.
Users get full control and ownership of their data, although they are not incentivized to share it.
There's a working application with thousands of users.
The Dock App boasts of having over 200, 000 registered users.
What are the tokens used for?
DOCK is the native digital currency token of the Dock.io platform. It's used as a means of payment on the platform.
It's also given as a reward to applications that facilitate exchange of data.
As a utility token, DOCK's value is expected to appreciate once the platform gains widespread adoption as more people will need it to access the platform.
The data market has for a long time been centralized and few organizations are known to monopolize data. In most cases, these organizations hoard data.
Dock seeks to decentralize data by using a blockchain.
Their solution allows users to own and control data and to exchange it with two or more decentralized applications.
Once in the Dock platform, users can form a network among themselves.
All the data is then encrypted and anchored on the blockchain. Data originators are required to be on the internet to share fresh data on the platform.
The platform allows users to share data selectively using third party applications allowed in the user-application contract.
Once you share data with an external application, you lose control of your data.
Dock.io uses the IPLD and IPFS technology that helps it beat the scalability issues associated with earlier blockchains.
IPFS is Interplanetary File System (IPFS), an open source storage protocol.
The Dock.io network allows users to create an ad-hoc publish-subscribe network. The IPFS network is a collection of nodes that store hashed files.
One interesting fact of the Dock platform is that users can share data even when they are not connected to the internet.
They are only needed to be online when sharing data that has never been published on the platform.
Using the Dock cryptocurrency, users also vote on the platform to ensure the integrity of data packages in case there's a disagreement.
The Dock cryptocurrency is using a unique tokenomics model that denominates its tokens in fiat currencies instead of BTC or ETH.
Their aim is to encourage price stability on the platform as cryptocurrencies are known to be volatile.
They also use a unique incentives model that's focused on rewarding DApps instead of users.
The Dock ecosystem uses the Dock token to incentivize applications to share data with each other.
On the platform, data sharing between apps is involuntary, meaning that an application cannot be prevented to pay for data that they need to use.
The platform gives users the sole discretion to decide on who accesses their data and this is a clever way of discouraging applications from hoarding data.
Unlike in most platforms where the users are rewarded, the Dock platform rewards applications.
This way, the creators believe that users will attach more value to data and won't need to provide false data to earn a passive income.
It's the team's way of weeding out spammy or false information.
Instead of rewarding users, Dock is giving them control of their data. They get to decide what to share and with whom.
They also get convenience as they get to share all their information from one platform, the Dock.io application.
The Dock.io platform has set aside 30% of all tokens to be ecosystem incentives. This rewards pool seeks to promote the growth of the platform.
It's important to note that Dock has some impressive partners who've invested into the project, including Connect Capital and L2 Ventures.
Dock developers have also devised a clever way of keeping spammers and DDoS attackers at bay; they use the token burning mechanism.
Tokens are also burnt to cut their supply, which then raises their value.
The Dock.io team first created the Dock App in January before conducting the token sale event in February.
With the App, people are already trying out the service by migrating their personal data to the app.
So far, Dock says that over 15 million people are using Dock's partner applications, including Fund Request, Remote, and Smart recruiters.
According to their website, the team claims that the app has over 200, 000 registered users.
In 2019, the team plans to launch the Network Data exchange to open up the ecosystem to developers.
The Dock ICO was a success. It hit its funding target of $20 million within days.
During the token sale event, the team sold 30% of its 1 billion tokens. This success didn't come without challenges.at first, ICO investors fell prey to scammers, leading to loss of money.
Dock founders Elina Cadouri & Nick Macario lead a well experienced team.
After a successful token sale event, Dock's short term potential looks bright. It has managed to create a large online following that seems to encourage the team to deliver on its promises.
The team further enhances the project's potential by having it listed at major exchanges.
In terms of long term viability, Dock is entering into a highly centralized data storage industry says a lot about its plans, given that it's a decentralized platform.
It only needs to standardize its data formats to make it easy for any user to share data.
DOCK is the digital currency token native to the Dock.io blockchain, as an ERC20 standard token, it's a utility coin that allows users to participate in the Dock platform.
It's also the means of exchange on the platform, and coin holders can use it to vote on the platform.
Dock also incentivizes applications to share data.
Since its launch in January 2018, DOCK's price has hovered around the $0.2 mark. In May, the price reached its peak of $0.212.
The price then took a beating and stands at $0.026.
The Dock.io ICO had an impressive bonus program that rewarded institutional investors during the pre -sale. It included a 50% bonus.
The team had set a funding goal of $20 000 which was achieved within days.
There are 433, 052, 635 Dock in circulation according to CoinmarketCap. The total supply of coins is 1 billion DOCK.
The Dock.io project was founded by Nick Macario and Elina Cadouri. They boast of a wealth of experience in the technology industry.
The third high-ranking team member is an engineer who is the project's Chief Technology Officer.
Others take up roles as chief scientist, head of product, blockchain engineer and many more.
Since its launch, Dock has attracted a number of partners who are already using its protocol.
These include Smart recruiters, Fund Request, WorkHere, Remote, Breezy, Social X and Full Candidate.
Others are Tribe Pad and Geek Hunter.
The main investors backing the Dock.io project are Digital Asset Fund, DCH, 1KX, AlphaBet, L2 Ventures and Block Water Capital.
The last investor to be named on the Dock website is BlockTech.
The advisory team is led by Lasse Clausen, in charge of fundraising.
The IPFS technology that Dock uses gives it an edge over most other personal data solution providers.
There's no denying that the Dock platform could easily transform the personal data industry especially if a large number of players like LinkedIn get on board.
Dock is also launching at a time when parts of Europe are implementing the PDIR law to govern how personal data is shared.
It has also attracted institutional investors.
The key team members seem to work for both Dock and Remote.com.
It's not clear how they divide their time to grow the Dock platform and this could affect the project's deadlines and timelines.
For a company that has inked partnerships with three other firms, there should be a lot of hype surrounding it, but this is not the case.
Dock seems to have a good number of Telegram followers (65000) and a vibrant Reddit community.
Without the hype, the project is not likely to scale quickly.
It's true that Dock has lots of positive reviews because of its solid vision, technology and working prototype.
But it fares badly when it comes to team dedication, community and lack of incentives for users.
Whichever way you look at it, its pros outweigh the cons, making it an ideal investment for both short-term and long-term investors.
Docks aim, is to provide a solution for data hoarding, which ia s a prevalent problem with existing professional firms.
Looking at its technology and vision, it's not hard to see that the project is a pretty solid solution that can effectively solve an existing problem.
It's poised for growth once the team implements the white paper.
In conclusion, Dock could become a mainstream player in the personal data space if it's widely adopted.
The fact that it has a working product is a sign that it's a practical solution.
However, there are a few issues that seem to work against it, including the risk of failure in case it's not well received in the market.
The PDIR regulation, the strictest personal data regulations in the EU, has already taken effect and could change the tide for Dock, either positively or negatively.
Although we enjoyed digging into this project, we believe we've picked out much better ones in our recent newsletter.

What is Clean Room ?
Why Class 100 CleanRoom is an Imporatant For DATA RECOVERY ?
The data recovery industry – dust, contaminants, air moisture, and high temperatures can all warp the surface of a hard drive that's being repaired. The Class 100 Clean room has an environment specifically engineered to remove air contaminants, preventing them from damaging the open hard drives. A facility must adhere to and maintain a strict set of standards concerning equipment, equipment maintenance, and the recovery engineers' activities in the cleanroom to receive a Class 100 rating.
Clean Room Lab is very important when it comes to data recovery from Physical damage or Media level damaged cases. Because hard disks are manufactured in Class 100 Clean room Environment with the help of Robotics and precision is maintained with read and write heads and magnetic platters. The components inside the hard drive are so delicate & the distance between head & platter is so near that it's about 1/1000 of human hair.
Class 100 Clean Room with ISO 5 Standards is required with not more than 0.5 microns of dust particles allowed inside & it needs to be maintained regularly with air flow, air pressure, temperature, humidity & moisture to work with media level cases. Any part of contamination inside the clean room will ruin data recovery. We own a clean room with class 100 Standards & we maintain it regularly to perform data recovery from Corporate & Personal hard disks.
Let us assume the situation without the clean room. If any company or individual operate physical or media level data recovery cases in the absence of a clean room, then there is no chance of getting any data back later. When you turn the hard drive "ON" and the dust particles are stuck between the platter and the heads, the effect is the same as using fine sandpaper, entire magnetic platter and hence data in it will be sanded off & there is no possibility to recover any data further. We do have technology for data recovery from damaged hard drives with fingerprints and dust particles, we use cleaning tools for cleaning the platter damages and remove dust particles from lab work methods, but success ratio is not as of non-damaged hard drives.
Practically, if we take a look closely at a light fitting near a window you can see the dust in a room. Even if we take care to clean the room daily we still find the dust and breathe particles in and out. Dust lands on everything and doesn't stay in the air forever. Open a hard drive and leave it for approximately 2-5 minutes in a freshly cleaned room (not a clean room, I mean just a room that has been dusted and vacuumed). When you put back the components and pack the drive, you will find that, it already has dust particles on the platter.
"If your Data is want to recover than Please do not Open Any Hard disk without Class 100/10 Clean Room Lab Because it may caused permenent Data Loss due to harm platter Area. "
