North Korea Launches Ballistic Missile from Submarine
According to South Korean and US officials, North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from a submarine off its east coast.
The KN-11 missile was launched from waters near Sinpo and flew about 300 miles before falling into the Sea of Japan, a US official said.
Japan's PM Shinzo Abe said it fell inside Japan's Air Defense Identification Zone, calling it a "reckless act".
The move comes as South Korea and the US begin annual military drills, which routinely anger Pyongyang.

North Korea, which sees these drills as a rehearsal for invasion, recently warned they were pushing the Korean peninsula towards the brink of war and threatened a "pre-emptive nuclear strike" in retaliation.
The communist country is banned by the UN from any use of ballistic or nuclear technology. But in recent months it has carried out repeated missile launches, and is believed to be close to conducting its fifth test of a nuclear device.
Today's launch appears to have been its most successful test yet of a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).
SLBMs are of particular concern because of the mobility of submarines and the ease with which launch preparation can remain undetected.
South Korea's military said it "seemed to be aimed at raising military tension in response to the Seoul-Washington military drill", the Yonhap news agency reports.
It said it would "sternly and strongly respond to any provocation by North Korea".
Japan's PM Shinzo Abe confirmed reports that the missile fell into Japan's ADIZ, an area of airspace over which a country exercises security controls.
He said it was an "unforgivable, reckless act" which "poses a grave threat to Japan's security".
The US State Department said it "strongly condemned" this, and previous missile tests, and would raise concerns at the UN.
North Korea's launch also coincided with a meeting of foreign ministers from Japan, China and South Korea in Tokyo.
North Korea Test Fires Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile
According to South Korean sources, North Korea appears to have fired a ballistic missile from a submarine off its eastern coast.
It is not clear whether the test was authentic, and if it was, whether it will be considered a success by North Korea.
A successful test would be significant because submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) are hard to detect.
The latest test comes as North Korea gears up for a rare and significant party congress next month.
North Korea is banned from nuclear tests and activities that use ballistic missile technology under UN sanctions dating back to 2006.
A South Korea defense ministry spokesman said: "North Korea launched a projectile which was believed to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile around 6:30 pm in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) near the north-eastern port of Sinpo."
"We are keeping close tabs on the North Korean military and maintaining a full defence posture," he said.
North Korea has yet to report the test in its own official media. The secretive state has claimed to have carried out similar tests before but some doubt those claims.
The US says photographs supposedly showing one launch in December were manipulated and others think North Korea has fired missiles from submerged platforms, but not submarines.
Regarding this latest test, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the missile travelled about 19 miles, whereas a typical SLBM can travel at least 186 miles.
North Korea has so far conducted four nuclear tests – the first one in October 2006 and the latest in January this year.
The UN Security Council responded to the latter by imposing its strongest sanctions to date over North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
In March 2016, North Korea said it had developed nuclear warheads small enough to fit on ballistic missiles, although experts cast doubt on the claims.
Analysts believe North Korea may be gearing up for a fifth test as a show of strength ahead of the North Korean Workers' Party Congress, the first since 1980.

There is a sort of celebration necessary for a workout class designed to celebrate the divine feminine. The Muse by Equinox (#EQxTheMuse) is a class that does just that. Created by Nicole De Anda, the 30-minute class focuses on dance movement while employing the burn of barre and pilates to keep your heartbeat racing. The result is a class that you will definitely feel the next day. Despite the athleticism involved in The Muse, it feels like a celebration of the body. Rather than using problematic fitness jargon that can imply that our bodies need to shed, lose, slenderize, or morph into anything other than what they are, The Muse is an opportunity to open your body, minimize your inhibitions, and flow seamlessly in time with the music.
To celebrate the addition of The Muse class to the Equinox Miracle Mile schedule, we conceptualized a gathering of our own muses. Hosted by sun-kissed fashionista Rocky Barnes, we rallied twenty movers and shakers in the realm of fashion, beauty, and wellness, to try the class, indulge in spa services, and receive a proper amount of pampering.
Stocking each locker with a custom floral arrangement made by Los Angeles-based designer Meredith Ambruso and outfit from Varley, each attendee slipped into comfortable dance gear and prepared for the journey together.
Beginning with the class, taught by Nicole De Anda herself, we stretched and toned, danced and sweated. Holding a pair of 3 pound weights for the majority of the class, I twirled in amazement as I hardly realized 30 minutes passed. In the Equinox Miracle Mile yoga studio, we had merchandised a bevy of beautiful decor. From positive affirmations and wise words from Frida Kahlo to breathtaking visuals supplied by The Arc Shop (a Los Angeles boutique who happens to house creations for a majority of female artisans), the experience was elevated, chic, and comfortable.
Post workout, bites from Tocaya Organica and beverages from Après kept attendees energized and ready for their pampering. While the muses refueled and relaxed, we transformed the studio with multiple spa services.
Adina Diaz of Natural Feeling Spa joined forces with LightStim to provide luxurious mini facial treatments to our attendees. Known for her health-forward spa services that use primarily natural and organic ingredients, she provides facials that genuinely transform your skin from the inside out. LightStim is a form of LED light therapy that boasts numerous benefits – one of the greatest being anti-aging. When combined with one of Adina's signature facials, the result is a holistic approach to skincare that is non-toxic, relaxing, and effective.
In addition to this red light special, we teamed up with Equinox's spa team to bring a brow bar and massage chairs, providing just a taste of what the Miracle Mile spa has to offer and keeping babes waiting for their facials occupied.
Because we truly weren't kidding when we said the goal behind this event was to pamper our beloved muses, we curated the gift bags of the century. Yes, the century. No, we aren't being biased. Each gift bag included a U-Barre – because what muse doesn't need workout equipment that doubles as modern art, a gift card to Detox Market, coffee from Four Sigmatic, canteens from Corkcicle, a Quip set, Agender oil from Noto Botanics, socks from Pointe Studio, beauty goods from & Other Stories, the cutest motivational gym bag at ban.do, plus a collection of products from Lather, Preheels, Super Elixir, and Odacite.

School of Dentistry Dean Sreenivas Koka, center, is pictured with his diversity, equity and inclusion team, from left, Dr. Kristin Nalls, Dr. William Boteler, Dr. Yuanyuan Duan and Dr. Alexa Lampkin.
Published on Monday, March 7, 2022
Note: This article originally appeared in the Winter 2022 issue of UMMC Dentistry, the annual magazine for the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Dentistry.
Mississippi's sole School of Dentistry is doing something different – profoundly and ambitiously – to create a space for teaching and learning that mirrors the state. It calls for making diversity, equity and inclusion a part of the culture.
"Whatever we've been doing has not produced the results you'd like to see," said Dr. William Boteler, an associate professor in Care Planning and Restorative Sciences.
New dean Dr. Sreenivas Koka has assembled a first-time Admissions Board of Directors to take on a necessary challenge: attract a faculty and student body that is inclusive and better reflects Mississippi's demographics. They're taking a holistic approach to recruiting stellar students, and at the same time, taking into account the whole person and their potential to deliver compassionate oral care.
"It's about representation on all levels. We're not just talking about ethnicity," said Dr. Kristin Nalls, director of Admissions and the new assistant dean of Student Affairs and Inclusion. "We're talking about gender, socioeconomic status, age, the area of the state where you're from.
"The Board of Directors has worked diligently to create a holistic admissions process that limits bias, and gives every applicant equal care and attention during application screening and the interview process. Our goal is to ensure an equitable experience for each applicant."
School of Dentistry leaders say that holistic approach to admissions can be accomplished without sacrificing excellence in education. The mission is to admit students capable of passing licensing examinations and practicing the highest quality dentistry.
The work areas are clear.
For the 2020-21 academic year, the 158-strong dental student body includes 14 Black students and 20 students of races other than white or Black.
About 20 percent of the SOD full-time and 34 percent of part-time faculty are minorities. "Our state does not look like that," Nalls said. U.S. Census data show that the state's white alone population in 2019 stood at 56.4 percent; Black or African American alone population, 37.8 percent; and other races, a total 5.8 percent.
Nalls is leading the four-member Admissions Board of Directors charged with overseeing the recruitment and admissions process. The others are Boteler; Dr. Alexa Lampkin ('17), assistant professor in the Department of Care Planning and Restorative Sciences; and Dr. Yuanyuan Duan, associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Materials Science.
Working closely with the admissions directors will be a related team focusing on diversity and inclusion initiatives within the SOD. Nalls is joined on that team by education administrator Sandra Johnston and administrative assistant Rochelle Anthony, both employees in Student Affairs and Inclusion.
"Dr. Koka is leading the charge to change the culture here so that we can attract more minority candidates and have strategic people in place at the SOD to show students we are invested in diversity and representation," Nalls said.
Dr. Deepti Janorkar, left, a School of Dentistry faculty member, instructs first-year dental resident Dr. Graham Garvey ('21) as they treat Kelsey Kilpatrick of Grenada in the school's Jackson Medical Mall dental clinic.
"Actions speak louder than words, and the best chance we have of our graduates practicing in underserved areas in Mississippi is to admit those who have a sustained and sincere track record of serving the underserved," Koka said.
"I have asked our admissions team to give a higher priority to applicants who have this track record, and to work toward our school's student body looking like our state. I thank them for undertaking this important journey, and I recognize it is a process that will take time to do properly."
They've identified the challenges, Now, they're focused on finding and implementing the solutions.
The SOD only accepts applicants who are Mississippi residents. "All of us are in agreement that the population of the dental student classes should reflect the population of the state of Mississippi," Boteler said. "And it doesn't at the present time."
Boteler has a special calling to recruit Black male students and those from underrepresented backgrounds. "The emphasis I feel in my heart includes Asian, American Indian, Hispanic students ...all minorities that are just not represented," Boteler said.
"A lot of young minority males haven't seen a minority male dentist in their life. They don't have a dentist role model to follow," he said. "Some of us from a different culture don't know how important that is: to see themselves as a dentist, and then to go to dental school."
Building interest in dentistry as a career, though, isn't enough.
"Schools scramble for a diverse student body, so they take our students," Boteler said. "Some of them have few minority students in their population, and some other schools give them a full ride. It makes it difficult for us to compete.
"We need to find out what is drawing our candidates away, and we need to get in the game and compete for them, a lot like
college athletic recruiting. There are a lot of young men out there, and we need to do a better job of identifying them early."
"We want the workforce we produce to represent every area of Mississippi, and we want our applicant pool and faculty to look like Mississippi," Nalls said.
That's also the mantra of Dr. Leon Anderson ('85), a longtime Jackson dentist who joined the faculty after graduating from the SOD in 1985, serving first as assistant director of the
general practice residency program in Care Planning and Restorative Sciences, then as the Medical Center's Division of Multicultural Affairs director from 1989-2002.
School of Dentistry Ambassador and second-year student Johntre Goudy talks with applicant Kierra Banks as fellow applicants, from left, Aubree Dillon, Jay Fritts and Dutton Day listen in.
The SOD in summer 2021 created four named development funds, each focusing on an area of need. The Leon Anderson Jr. DMD Diversity and Inclusion Fund will help make it possible for more underrepresented and disadvantaged students to earn their dental degrees and practice in Mississippi.
"People tend to want to go where people who look like them are. That should not be a problem. This state is 36 or 37 percent underrepresented minorities," Anderson said. "If you have more people on the faculty that mirror the state itself, the students are going to be more comfortable, and more likely to come here.
"We've heard this over and over again: we need to recruit, and we can't recruit people of color. At this time, what's encouraging to me is that we've stopped talking, and we've implemented a program to do this. We're putting forth the effort."
When Lampkin joined the SOD faculty in 2018, the year after finishing her studies there, "I was the only African-American faculty member for approximately two and a half years," she said.
She wants the school's applicant pool to include candidates who have "the heart of a servant."
"I'd rather have someone treat me with the heart of a servant who can relate and talk to me than someone who is extremely intelligent, not personable and lacks good bedside manner," Lampkin said. "There's an oral cavity attached to a person, but you've got to treat the person.
"No patient is going to ask you what your GPA was in dental school," she said. "A Dental Admissions Test score does not reflect the capability of a student or the prospective success of a student in and out of the classroom. We're trying to give everyone a fair chance to prove themselves."
The external challenges to recruiting and retaining faculty are perennial and daunting, but the SOD teams are working to turn some of them on their ear.
"We're competing with everyone for dental school faculty," Nalls said. "Mississippi is a hard place, sometimes, to sell. We are rural. We are the only dental school in the state, and sometimes that can be a challenge.
"But, what we see is that in some instances what looks like a barrier, to the right candidates, can actually be an incentive. It's all about mindset.
Dr. Joann Travis, left, a faculty member who practices at the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Veterans Affairs Medical Center, reviews the record of a patient in the Restorative Clinic with fourth-year student Stan Tristeza before hebegins treatment.
"We can say that we are a small school where people can effect change and be on the front lines to do something important, and that we are trying to change our culture to one that empowers faculty to seek change."
Simply because it's in Mississippi, the SOD must defend itself against negativity about the state's history. "We are pushing against stereotypes and people's past perceptions," Nalls said. "I'm asking people to focus on the paradigm shift that is happening. The SOD is not the same."
Lampkin believes the attraction of a lucrative private practice,
or the perception that will be the case, impacts career
decisions of young dentists. The focus might be on "ensuring an adequate income level to sustain one's lifestyle," Lampkin said.
Why not be in private practice and still teach SOD students?
"A viable option could be working part-time in a private practice while serving as a full-time faculty member, or vice versa. The SOD has part-time and adjunct faculty members who work a couple of days a week with students in our clinic," Lampkin said. "Sometimes, it requires a unique balance."
It's important to remember that diversity in faculty and the student body go hand in hand, Duan said.
"By having a more diverse faculty, we will be in a better position to attract and recruit high-quality candidates from diverse backgrounds, and we will be able to develop more effective methods for the recruiting process," Duan said.
Boteler's service with the SOD already involved being a screener for the student admissions process, with various committees scoring an applicant based on GPA and DAT performance, personal statement and record of community service.
That process is getting a fresh look.
"Dr. Koka doesn't want us to miss the students who might not have the strongest academics, but who are still exceptionally well qualified and would make a good dentist," Boteler said.
The fall 2022 D1 class will be chosen based in part on something new: multiple mini-interviews with applicants, or MMI, will make up an additional score. "That's when the four directors look at the overall package," Boteler said. It's not a new concept, just new to the SOD.
"The medical schools say they'd never go back to the traditional interview," Boteler said.
The MMIs took place in September 2021. How it worked: Prospective SOD students were interviewed in groups of 20 at the School of Medicine. Ten stations were set up in hallways, and the first 10 candidates each stood at a station and had two minutes to read a question posing an ethical dilemma. Then, each entered a room by their station staffed by two interviewers. The candidate had eight minutes to present their solution to the scenario.
Dr. Alvin Rembert, a faculty member in the School of Dentistry who practices at the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Veterans Affairs Medical Center, discusses a mold of a patient's teeth with fourth-year student Christina Legradi in the Restorative Clinic.
"They'll be scored and then move on to the next room," rotating to a total 10 rooms, Boteler said. "It's not the traditional 'Tell us about yourself' interview."
The new School of Medicine, which opened in 2017, is more practical for interviews than the aging School of Dentistry, which enrolled its first class in 1975. "They were very forthcoming in accommodating us in the interview process," Nalls said of SOM leaders including Dr. Loretta Jackson-Williams, vice dean for medical education, and Dr. Demondes Haynes, associate dean for admissions.
"We were blown away by the quality of the candidates, Boteler said. "For almost every one, our jaws were on the floor. We were asking tough questions."
SOD student ambassadors also gave candidates tours of the school. That diverse 23-member group plays a key role in recruitment of students, Lampkin said. "They'll work with Student Affairs and current students, and engage SOD alums in our efforts. It's going to be fun. They have a big task ahead of them."
"The four of us feel like this is our charge," Boteler said. "We want to admit the most highly qualified students we can find, but to be mindful of inequities that have been there a long time. Mississippi can be a leader here in innovation. We just need to go about it a little differently than before."
The next steps to diversity within dental class cohorts, Nalls said, is to engage with underrepresented groups at undergraduate institutions and secondary educational systems, and to reach out to other groups of interest to promote careers in dentistry and exposure to the program.
"We want to have a pathway to admission that is fair and efficient, and to also create an applicant pool that will fully represent our state," she said. "We're definitely working with strengthening relationships between the dental school and minority alumni. We are reaching out to the Mississippi Dental Society, a minority group, on solidifying a mentorship program. Those dentists will be on campus and in our clinics and will try to recruit faculty."
"We're not where we need to be, but we're definitely moving in the right direction," Lampkin said. "A lot of the traditional mindsets are starting to dissipate. We are trying to be more relatable to students. The challenge has been trying to reach HBCUs. However, through our outreach efforts, I am confident we will see application numbers increase from students of diverse backgrounds.
"We want to create some pipelines with the Jackson school district. We have so many ideas to bring about a warmer cultural climate at the SOD, and the SOD ambassador program will be a tool for accomplishing this mission."
The four years spent educating a stellar, diverse group of students is just one part of the challenge. "Our charge and mission is to create a diverse workforce that affects change and reduces oral health disparities," Nalls said. "We need to go back and find the students who go out of state to practice, and we need to reach out to the Mississippi students who are getting their education at a different dental school."
Duan's reasoning for saying yes to the Admissions Board is shared by the rest of the team: She's passionate about the school where she was trained. "I want to make more of a contribution to its goals and missions," Duan said.
The school's students, faculty and staff "are better able to care for all Mississippians if we can appreciate their diverse needs, hopes, fears, expectations and aspirations," Koka said.
"We are making intentional efforts to make sure students know that they are valued and loved," Nalls said. "We want them to thrive. We want them to say they love it here."

Q: PHP changing your page name I have a portfolio that shows 3 rows of images in one page.
it is called portfolio.php.
I want to make it so when you will click on next button, it will go to the next page (portfolio2.php) with the same content, just different image URLs and rename that page to portfolio.php?page=2
but without using a pagination script.
Is there a way to change that pages name without using any advanced PHP script for paging?
Some friend told me to do this way:
<?php
// Get the page ID
    $page_id = $_GET['page'];

    // Create the page string
    $page_string = "images_page" . $page_id . ".php";

    // Include the page
    include($page_string);
?>

But im not to sure how as I am getting Internal server error with this script.
Is there any way to rename a specify page to something like portfolio.php?page=2 ? something like (location: ) or something..
I want to do it this way because I am really clueless with PHP.
Thank you.

A: You can do it like this....
if(isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] != '') {
   $pageno = $_GET['page']; /* Sanitize Here */
} else {
   /* You can redirect user to home page */
}

if(isset($pageno)) {
  if($pageno == '1') {
       /* Page 1 content */
  } elseif($pageno == '2') {
    /* Page 2 content */
  }
}

Investigations were undertaken to quantify the phenomenon of Salmonella host adaptation in certain species. Therefore calves, piglets and chicken were inoculated with suspensions of Salmonella Choleraesuis (S.) (adopted to pigs), S. Dublin (adopted to cattle) and S. Gallinarum/Pullorum (adopted to chicken). The aim of the study was to answer the question if and in which way Salmonella host specificity is expressed during experimental oral challenges as a result of germ-host-interaction. For this purpose mixtures of cultures of two Salmonella-serotypes ideally containing equal parts of them were used. They were administered simultaneously to two species via oral route. The Salmonella suspension always consisted of an adopted and a non-adopted Salmonella- serotype (S. Choleraesuis x S. Dublin; S. Choleraesuis x S. Gallinarum/Pullorum; S. Dublin x S. Gallinarum/Pullorum). Several samples of small intestine content, gut mucosa as well as extraintestinal tissue (i.e. lymphnodes and liver) were taken for bacteriological counts on day 1, 3, 6 and - in 2 cases - also on day 13 post infection. All samples were homogenized for quantitative reisolation of Salmonella germs applying KOCH´s plate counting. For identification of the different but simultaneously administered Salmonella-serotypes mutants resistant for specific antibiotics were used. To gain general information on serotype-specific attributes we used several Salmonella-strains of each serotype to separate strain-specific attributes from serotype-specific attributes. Due to the equal ratio of the two administered Salmonella-strains (1:1) it had been possible to quantify a host-specific component by analysing the counts of adopted and non-adopted Salmonella-serotypes. This component is based on a higher growth rate of host adapted serotypes in adequate hosts and therefor traceable by germ counts. The influence of a host-specific component could be demonstrated very clearly in the extraintestinal tissue (lymphnodes) of cattle and pigs, followed by the gut mucosa (mean ratio adopted : non adopted serotypes approximately 15 : 1) and to a smaller extend in the small intestine content. It could be observed in all animal species examined, independent from the number of counted germs. Along with the investigations the sensitivity of two different methods of tissue sample homogenizing was tested. The Ultra-Turrax(tm) method is characterised by fast rotating knives, while in the Stomacher 80(tm) method the samples are squeezed in sterile plastic bags. 150 samples were homogenized parallely by using both systems. The results show that Stomacher 80(tm) is a very effective method with at least the same or a even better sensitivity compared to Ultra-Turrax(tm). The amount of tissue- collagen may have an influence on the degree of homogenisation. In vitro tests of simultaneously incubated mixed cultures containing equal parts of two Salmonella-strains showed in almost all cases no interactions. Only strains of S. Gallinarum/Pullorum showed a decreased germ growth rate when incubated together with strains of S. Choleraesuis. The interaction could not be observed before four hours of common incubation. S. Dublin strains showed a similar interaction after ten hours of common incubation. These differences of germ growth rates of strains of S. Gallinarum/Pullorum have proofed to be significant (p < 0,05). Because of the different body temperature of mammals (37 °C) and birds (42 °C) all tested strains were incubated at 37 °C and 42 °C, but no influence could be noticed for strains of S. Choleraesuis and S. Dublin. Strains of S. Gallinarum/Pullorum showed in some cases a slightly, but not significantly longer germ growth rate at 37 °C incubation temperature. Summarising the results it can be concluded that under the described conditions Salmonella-suspensions follow the same pattern of growth compared to single incubated strains for at least four hours. Although, in vitro results can not be transferred directly to possible in vivo behaviour it seems to be likely that simultaneously administered Salmonella-strains of equal parts of different serotypes may behave in a similar way.


A desirable discussion among a Pagan and a Christian. Gus DiZerega, an American pagan and and an instructional engages in debate with Philip Johnson, an Australian Christian theologian. the 2 debate questions equivalent to the character of spirituality, who or what's deity, how people relate to the divine, the sacred female, gender and sexuality, and the lessons and claims of Jesus. on the finish of the publication one other Pagan author reviews on what Philip Johnson has argued, and one other Christian reviews on what Gus DiZerega has argued. Paganism is stated because the quickest starting to be 'religion' in western Europe and this e-book is helping readers to interact with it and with orthodox Christian trust.
I actually get pleasure from christian theology yet this booklet simply did not seize me. the knowledge is excellent and that's exactally what the publication is for. in case you are searching for anything to learn for excitement this isn't your ebook. but when you are doing learn you need to definately cost this out. simply do not learn it if you end up tierd.
Within the face of the evangelical whoredom, Marxists are the final defenders of actual faith. the proper Wing within the usa is making an attempt to smash the which means of Christianity, however the Left isn't really taking place with out a struggle. Jesus used to be no longer the cause of the season, yet he was once essentially the most progressive thinkers of all time.
St. Maximus the Confessor (580-662), was once an enormous Byzantine philosopher, a theologian and thinker. He constructed a philosophical theology during which the doctrine of God, production, the cosmic order, and salvation is built-in in a unified belief of truth. Christ, the divine trademarks, is the centre of the foundations (the logoi ) in line with which the cosmos is created, and according to which it shall convert to its divine resource.
They have needs for nourishment, healing and wisdom. The injustices and woes of the wider world then come into focus: the needs of the poor, the sick and the refugee are pleaded, followed by the plight of wildlife, agricultural and domesticated animals, and the polluted biosphere. Here I sometimes call to mind the Hebraic Psalms. Some of those Psalms are centred in praise, and others raise complaints about gross injustices. Those Psalms of 'complaint' indicate that it is okay to be mad at God! Much of my day involves working from home, so I can set aside different times of the day for spiritual devotions.
Aristotle, one of the most insightful people in Western history, defended slavery. 14 It took another 2,200 years, and the invention of machinery, for those critics to prevail. Too often we allow pride and love of power to override care and compassion. Loss gets through to some people, to crack open their hearts. All too often it takes our own suffering, or the suffering of someone we care about, to open our hearts to the full depth of human experience. That opening can be extremely, shatteringly painful.
Those Christians who are enthusiastic about cultural change identify with their non-Christian peers about the shortcomings of the modern era. e. 17 How these kinds of Christians are grappling with the implications of that discernment is the subject of much current discussion. Some seem to focus on the possibilities of reinventing church while others think the matter is less complicated than that. The latter feel it is more about recovering from the past some valuable insights and disciplines that will lead to a healthy spiritual renewal.


As China continues to flout the internationally protected right to freedom of religion in the harshest possible ways, the EU's silence on the matter is unsettling, writes Thomas Mann.
The Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect and the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect have released a joint policy brief on China's treatment of the Uighurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in Xinjiang and how it could constitute crimes against humanity under international law.
Will the U.S. continue to put national interest over China's human rights violations?
Richard Nixon said no to the people of Xinjiang. President Trump has a chance to change course.
Chinese officials are in Washington this week to negotiate President Trump's long-promised trade deal amid growing pressure on the Trump administration to sanction China for what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the worst human rights abuses since the 1930s.
China is waging a global campaign against the Uighurs, a majority-Muslim ethnic minority concentrated in its western frontier of Xinjiang.


President Trump said he may let his March 2 deadline for reaching a trade agreement with China "slide for a little while" if the two countries are near a deal by then. Washington and Beijing are deep in negotiations. "In the talks this week, Chinese and U.S. negotiators are focusing on producing a broad outline of a trade agreement for their presidents to clinch at a possible summit," the WSJ reports.

Q: MTU on server accidentally set to 0, can't ssh into it? My server had some problem with the ssh and I couldn't upload files of size > 10 KB, as scp would hang during the copy. I found a solution for this problem here, and I was changing the MTU, when I accidentally did sudo ip link set eth0 mtu 0.
No one can ssh into the server now. What should I do?

A: It is not clear which operating system you are using. I have tested your specific command on two different versions of Linux, and each of them gave me an error message:
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

If you have found a system that will actually allow you to set the MTU to 0, I would consider that a kernel bug. It is however plausible that systems exist, where setting the MTU to 0 has some other meaning such as auto detect the MTU.
IPv4 requires that all nodes have an MTU of at least 68. Linux knows this and disables IPv4 on the interface if the MTU is set to a lower value like for example 67. That way it is possible to lock yourself out of the system. That's inconvenient, and I would have considered it to have been a better design, if the kernel would reject the MTU change as long as the interface had any IP address requiring a higher MTU.
Should you accidentally disable both IPv4 and IPv6 on a network interface, it is unlikely you are going to find any way to remotely administrate the machine across that network interface. If the server has any other network interfaces, you may be able to access it that way. Even if the other network interface has not been configured it may still have an IPv6 link local address which one could ssh to from a different host on the same segment. Otherwise a serial console is still an option, as a serial console is completely independent of the network configuration of the host. Ultimately you can reboot the machine, if you have access to do so remotely. As long as you didn't write the erroneous change to any configuration files, a reboot should fix it.

A: Connect to the console and change the MTU back. If you've not got console access, then reboot the server.

Estimate: US$ 200,000 - 300,000
Signed and dated 'Raza 06' (lower right)
Further signed, dated, titled and inscribed 'Raza / 2006 / 100 x 100 cm. / "Prakriti" / acrylic on canvas (on the reverse)
Further titled in Hindi (on the reverse)
Acquired directly from the artist by Tao Art Gallery, Mumbai
Private collection, Washington DC, USA
Sayed Haider Raza has stated, "sometime between 1975 and 1980, I began to feel the draw of my Indian heritage. I thought: I come from India, I have a different vision; I should incorporate what I have learned in France with Indian concepts. In this period, I visited India every year to study Indian philosophy, iconography, magic diagrams (yantras), an ancient Indian art, particularly Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain art. I was impressed by paintings from Basholi, Malwa, and Mewar, and began combining colors in a manner that echoed Indian miniature painting." (Raza in conversation with Amrita Jhaveri, Sotheby's Preview, March/April 2007, p.57).
Titled "Prakriti" or Nature, the painting reflects the artist's lifelong commitment to depicting nature and its colors in his canvases. Evolving from his initial academic landscapes and abstracted expressionism on the same subject, Raza delved into the purest form of nature. Removing all inessential to attain the simplest interpretation.
He singularly used colors that naturally exist in the visible world, the primary palette of red, blue, yellow, white, and black to represent the fundamental elements in creation - fire, water, earth, sky, and air.
To underscore his non-representative vocabulary and maintain the geometric symbolism that he adopted later in his career, Raza deploys the inverted triangle - symbolic of female sexuality and reproduction with the bindu - symbolic of the seed that bears the potential of new life. Depicted together, they represent the tree of life and the perpetual cycle of nature, of fertilization, germination, growth, reproduction, and ultimately death.
Born in 1922 in Babaria, Madhya Pradesh, Raza graduated from the Nagpur School of Art in 1943 and the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai in 1947. He was one of the founding members of the Progressive Artists' Group in 1948. After receiving a French Government Scholarship in 1950 he left for Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts, Paris, where he was awarded the Prix de la Critique in 1956. In 1962 he served as a visiting lecturer at the University of California in Berkeley, USA. Raza has several solo exhibitions to his credit, including 'Paysage: Select Works 1950s-1970s', 'Parikrama: Around Gandhi', Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi, in 2014; 'Shabd-Bindu', Akar Prakar, Kolkata, in 2013; 'Vistaar', Art Musings and Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, in 2012-13, 'Bindu Vistaar', Grosvenor Gallery, London, in 2012; 'Punarangman', Vadehra Art Gallery and Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, in 2011; 'Ones' at Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi, in 2011 and 2010; Tao Art Gallery, Mumbai, 2008 and 2006; and Saffronart and Berkeley Square Gallery, London and New York, 2005. In 2007 Saffronart held a major retrospective of his work in New York. Raza's work has been exhibited in several group exhibitions including those at Aicon Gallery, New York and London, in 2014, 13, 12, 11, 10; the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, in 2009; Grosvenor Gallery, London, Mumbai, 2004; Saffronart and Pundole Art Gallery, New York, 2001 and 2002; and Saffronart, Hong Kong and Los Angeles, 2001 among several others. Raza received a Lalit Kala Ratna from the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi in 2004, and a Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri from the Government of India in 2007 and 1981 respectively. The Madhya Pradesh State Government also awarded him with the Kalidas Samman in 1996-97. Raza lived and worked in Paris and Gorbio, France, till 2011. The artist passed away in New Delhi in July 2016.

Michigan St.-Ohio St. Preview
BY foxsports • February 22, 2016
(AP) - Defense and rebounding have been the trademarks of Tom Izzo's program for two decades and that has worked out well for Michigan State.
The Spartans have won a national championship and reached the Final Four seven times, including last year, since Izzo succeeded his mentor, Jud Heathcote.
No. 6 Michigan State, though, is scoring more it ever has under Izzo: The Spartans are averaging an Izzo-high 79.4 points going into Tuesday night's game at Ohio State.
Michigan State (22-5, 9-5 Big Ten) is one-half game behind the fourth-place Buckeyes (18-10, 10-5) in conference play. The teams are trying to finish among the top four in the Big Ten to earn a spot in the conference tournament quarterfinals and to potentially avoid playing four games in as many days less than a week before the NCAA Tournament.
A week after ending Wisconsin's seven-game winning streak, the Spartans are hoping to stop Ohio State's four-game run.
''We're playing to get in the top four, maybe even to win a share of the Big Ten title,'' senior guard Denzel Valentine said. ''You never know, things can play out and we might be able to get a share.''
Anything appears to be possible with Valentine directing an offense that has options outside and in, and leading a team that might be playing its best at the right time. The Spartans have won six of their last seven games, losing only on the road to then-No. 18 Purdue by one point in overtime.
Valentine is averaging nearly 23 points, almost nine assists and eight rebounds over the last seven games. In double-digit wins over Indiana and Wisconsin, he joined former Baylor standout Pierre Jackson as the only two players from a major conference over the last 20 years to have at least 20 points and 10 assists in consecutive games, according to STATS.
''Individual goals are always something we strive for our players to accomplish,'' Izzo said. ''I'm not just a team-team-team-team guy because I believe those individual goals lead to team success. And sometimes team success helps with individual goals.''
Michigan State is making 8.8 3-pointers per game - easily the most in the Izzo era - with Valentine, Bryn Forbes, Eron Harris and Matt McQuaid each making at least 40 percent of their attempts beyond the arc.
Inside, forward Matt Costello has emerged as a go-to player and he has taken advantage of teams defending him with only one player because they don't want to leave his sharpshooting teammates open.
''I think we became a better defensive team,'' Izzo said after talking about his team's offensive production. ''We are leading the nation in rebounding margin again, and what that does with this team is it gets our fast break going.''
Yes, it all does come back to defense and rebounding at Michigan State. As much as Izzo enjoys watching the Spartans score in an array of ways, he knows a bad shooting night can end the season in the one-and-done tournaments if they don't defend and rebound well.
''You get into the Big Ten tournament or the NCAA Tournament where every possession matters and things tighten up a little bit, I guess you can win some games with the 3-point shot,'' he said. ''But I would rather rely on what the staples have gotten us over the last 20 years."
Ohio State is still in need of a signature victory to bolster its NCAA Tournament credentials, with its 74-67 triumph over then-No. 4 Kentucky on Dec. 19 its only one in five games against ranked opponents. The Buckeyes will visit the Spartans on March 5 to conclude the regular season after a home contest against No. 8 Iowa on Sunday, but coach Thad Matta is not focused on the difficult stretch run, only this game.
"I think Michigan State, now that they're healthy, are as good as anybody in the country," Matta said. "To think ahead or look behind wouldn't do us much good. I think the focus has to be on us, and having a great practice, play well."
Freshman guard JaQuan Lyle scored all 19 of his points after halftime in Saturday's 65-62 overtime victory at Nebraska, but it was Ohio State's defense that again took center stage. It has held opponents to 35.5 percent shooting in the four straight victories after stifling the Cornhuskers at 27.1 percent.
Ohio State has also limited opponents to 27.4 percent from beyond the arc during its win streak and is fifth in the Big Ten defensively at 32.6 percent.

The 2017 vintage is only the second release of Rosie Rosé. It was made in the classic saignée style, where some juice is "bled" off from grapes after they have been crushed to make red wines. This is a technique that allows more concentrated tannins in the resulting reds, as well as a fruity, refreshing rosé. This year's Rosie is about 83% Malbec, 8% Cabernet Franc, 8% Tannat, and 1% Petit Manseng. After bleeding, the juice is treated like a white wine, fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain floral and fruity aromatics.
This is my absolute favorite. Bright and fresh with strong grapefruit. Perfect for a weekend afternoon.


2:00pm Malibu Library Come out and enjoy the day!
Please join the City of Malibu for the premiere of the new PCH Safety Video & Kids Bike Safety Rodeo on Friday, May 8 at 2 pm at Malibu Library! The fun, free event is part of a multi-agency effort by Malibu, Senators Fran Pavley & Ben Allen, Assemblymember Richard Bloom, and the California Office of Traffic Safety to promote safety on PCH. After a press conference and screening of the new PCH Safety Video, we'll kick off the bicycle safety rodeo for kids ages 4-13 hosted by Safe Moves, an L.A.-based non-profit organization dedicated to traffic safety education. Kids can navigate a miniature obstacle course with cut-outs of cars, street signs, and traffic signals to learn about bicycle and traffic safety. There will also be drawings for prizes, refreshments, and a special appearance by "PCH," one of the characters in the PCH Safety Video.
Kids may bring their own bikes or use bikes and helmets provided by Safe Moves.

Q: How to print results from this function I'm new to Python and programming in general and  need a little help with this (partially finished) function. It's calling a text file with a bunch of rows of comma delimited data  (age, salary, education and so on). However, I've run into a problem from the outset. I don't know how to return the results.
My aim is to create dictionaries for each category and for each row to be sorted and tallied.
e.g. 100 people over 50, 200 people under 50 and so on.
Am I in the correct ball park?
file = "adultdata.txt"

def make_data(file):
    try:
       f = open(file, "r")
    except IOError as e:
       print(e)
       return none

large_list = []

avg_age = 0
row_count_under50 = 0
row_count_over50 = 0

#create 2 dictionaries per category

employ_dict_under50 = {}
employ_dict_over50 = {}

for row in f:
    edited_row = row.strip()
    my_list = edited_row.split(",")
    try:
        #Age Category
        my_list[0] = int(my_list[0])

        #Work Category
        if my_list[-1] == " <=50K":
           if my_list[1] in employ_dict_under50:
               employ_dict_under50[my_list[1]] += 1
           else:
              employ_dict_under50[my_list[1]] = 1
              row_count_u50 += 1

        else:
           if my_list[1] in emp_dict_o50:
              employ_dict_over50[my_list[1]] += 1
           else:
              employ_dict_over50[my_list[1]] = 1
              row_count_o50 += 1

# Other categories here

print(my_list)
#print(large_list)
#return

# Ignored categories here - e.g. my_list[insert my list numbers here] = None

A: I do not have access to your file but I had a go at correcting most of the errors you had in your code.
These are a list of the mistakes I found in your code:

*

*your function make_data is essentially useless and is out of scope. You need to remove it entirely

*When using a file object f, you need to use readline to extract data from the file.

*It is also best to use a with statement when using IO resources like files

*You had numerous variables which were badly named in the inner loop and did not exist

*You declared a try in the inner loop without a catch. You can remove the try because you are not trying to catch any Error

You have some very basic errors which are related to general programming, can I assume your new to this? If thats the case then you should probably follow some more beginner tutorials online until you get a grasp of what commands you need to use to perform basic tasks.
Try compare your code to this and see if you can understand what i'm trying to say:
file = "adultdata.txt"

large_list = []

avg_age = 0
row_count_under50 = 0
row_count_over50 = 0

#create 2 dictionaries per category

employ_dict_under50 = {}
employ_dict_over50 = {}

with open(file, "r") as f:
    row = f.readline()

    edited_row = row.strip()
    my_list = edited_row.split(",")
    #Age Category
    my_list[0] = int(my_list[0])

    #Work Category
    if my_list[-1] == " <=50K":
       if my_list[1] in employ_dict_under50:
           employ_dict_under50[my_list[1]] += 1
       else:
          employ_dict_under50[my_list[1]] = 1
          row_count_under50 += 1

    else:
       if my_list[1] in employ_dict_over50:
          employ_dict_over50[my_list[1]] += 1
       else:
          employ_dict_over50[my_list[1]] = 1
          row_count_over50 += 1

# Other categories here
print(my_list)
#print(large_list)
#return

I cannot say for certain if this code will work or not without your file but it should give you a head start.

Restaurateurs as Delhi CM announces reforms: These steps will help the restaurant industry badly hit by COVID
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announces reforms in the restaurant industry, restaurateurs feel reforms will help the industry.
Divya Kaushik
Within a few hours after meeting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and officials from different departments like excise, tourism and fire service on Wednesday, Delhi restaurateurs finally had some things to cheer about.
The Delhi government announced major reforms to facilitate the ease of doing business for city restaurants. It was announced that Delhi restaurants may soon be allowed to operate 24x7 and the need for a tourism licence and multiple other licences, like the health and trade ones, issued by the local bodies, will be abolished. Excise rules to allow service in open areas and balconies without extra fees and permit licences for all types of music will be amended. The CM will decide on the application of new uniform fire safety norms.
The message sent out to officials was that all steps must be taken at the earliest and it was reportedly conveyed that the health licence issued by the civic bodies must be abolished within 10 days.
The announcement of these reforms came as a breather for the restaurant industry hit hard during the pandemic and still trying to cope with losses. Rahul Singh, restaurateur and trustee, NRAI, is confident that these reforms will go a long way in helping restaurants operate their businesses smoothly.
Rahul attended the two meetings with the CM that have happened so far and said after the Wednesday meeting, "I have attended many meetings as a part of NRAI delegation in my few years of being in the restaurant sector. This by far was the most positive one. The entire cabinet and all the principal secretaries were present in one conference and we saw a clear cut, time-bound and crisp decision-making exercise. The news of these reforms has come as a bright spark for one of the most adversely affected sectors."
'A welcome move that will go a long way in helping the restaurant industry'
Restaurateurs say that reforms in licences and approvals, which are required to run a restaurant, were most needed and the delay on account of procuring these multiple permissions and approvals has been a major pain point for restaurants. "The best part about the recent announcement from the Delhi government is that it has identified and addressed all our pain points. We have been urging the government and different departments to work on them for years and it is good to see that finally some action is being taken," says restaurateur Priyank Sukhija.
He also adds that most of these announcements, like allowing restaurants to operate 24x7, might not come into effect immediately, but all these reforms will go a long way in improving businesses. Says restaurateur Zorawar Kalra, "I think this is a very positive move that will greatly help the beleaguered industry, which has been hit the hardest. Ease of doing business will ensure more people opening their restaurants and will increase the scope of employment."
'Keeping outlets open 24x7 might take some time'
Though the government has announced that Delhi restaurants will be allowed to serve 24x7, restaurant owners say that this would most likely need permission from the Delhi Police. Also, given the pandemic situation, this might take time before it can be implemented. "If allowed, we might extend our service hours by a few hours to begin with. We might be able to serve more people and give them different reservation slots to maintain social distancing," says restaurateur Amit Bagga. Zorawar adds, "We welcome the opportunity to operate 24x7. Keeping in mind the safety of our patrons and our team, we will study our various locations and choose where all this new opportunity can be implemented."
Restaurateur Umang Tewari says that remaining open 24x7 can work for outlets in some markets and areas. "We can devise details and strategy only once we have clarity on the rules and when these get implemented."

Q: Is there any equivalent to aws eip in azure? Apart from load balancer we have an active-passive server setup.So we want to allocate a public ip to active  server. We are able to do this in AWS using eip .Is there any feature which we can use in azure just like eip in aws?

A: You could use static Public IPs in Azure. You could associate a Public IP to a VM's NIC then change the IP address assignment to static. Also, Azure DNS allows you to reach this IP via a Public custom DNS name.

We do support Static Public IPs in Azure today that is equivalent to
  Elastic IP in AWS. Static Public IPs can be mapped to a VM's NIC
  (elastic IP equivalent) or to a load balancer's Front end IP.

More details from the Azure feedback.
Apart for the Azure Load balancer, you may have interested in Azure traffic manager which is a DNS-based traffic load balancer that enables you to distribute traffic optimally to services across global Azure regions, while providing high availability and responsiveness.

Vic Edelbrock Jr. To Be Honored
Vic Edelbrock Jr. To Be Honored With Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award At Hotrod & Restoration Trade Show
Staff Writercreator
Launched in 2002 at the HRR show, the inaugural Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to NHRA founder Wally Parks, then Carroll Shelby in 2003 and George Barris in 2004. Petersen selects the annual recipient based upon the candidate's contributions to the evolution and prosperity of specialized automobiles. The trophy, a beautifully executed bronze sculpture by automotive artist Steve Posson, aptly titled "Running at the Lakes," is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
"Vic Edelbrock, Jr. and his father have made tremendous contributions to hot rodding as we know it today," said Petersen. "They have not only been a strong force on the business side, their personal involvement at every level has been tremendous."
In 1962, upon the untimely loss of his father Vic Edelbrock, Sr. to cancer, Vic Edelbrock, Jr. took over the company with a group of loyal employees, most of who had been with his dad since the beginning. They knew what it took to continue the traditions Vic Sr. had started. From 1971-1974, Vic Jr. served as President of SEMA only nine years after taking over the company, serving at a crucial time on a platform of educating legislators and the public to the benefits of a strong and legal performance parts industry.
Vic Jr. has always given back to the automotive hobby and the community that supports it. He and his father have been inducted into the SEMA Hall of Fame. Vic Jr. has personally been honored numerous times by the Performance Warehouse Association and has been inducted into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame. In 1996, Vic Jr. also began a scholarship program through Northwest Kansas Technical College to honor his father, a native of Eudora, Kansas.
The Grand Opening "Breakfast of Champions" will take place in the Grand Ballroom of The Westin Hotel, adjoining the Indiana Convention Center, at 8:30am, March 11, 2005.
The son of a mechanic, Robert E. Petersen grew his publishing empire from a small and unassuming start. At the age of 21, Robert E. Petersen, working from his own home, published the first issue of HOT ROD Magazine with a small press run of 5,000 copies. He wrote the stories, took the photographs and even hawked the copies at local Southern California speedways. Over fifty-years later, HOT ROD is one of the largest automotive magazines in the world.
Robert E. Petersen and his wife Margie are the founding benefactors of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Celebrating it's 10th Anniversary as the city's "Automotive Icon" in 2004, the Museum serves the people of the Los Angeles area and the worldwide automotive community, collecting and preserving important objects, rare and valuable vehicles and providing education and information on the history of the auto and its impact on American life and culture.

Oakland outlasts Georgia, 86-79
Photo: Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports
ROCHESTER, Mich. – J.J. Frazier scored 22 points as the Georgia Bulldogs were defeated by Oakland, 86-79, Friday night at Athletics Center O'rena.
Frazier, who scored 18 of his 22 in the first half, led the way for Georgia (8-4). Derek Ogbeide recorded a double-double for the Bulldogs, posting 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Juwan Parker added 15 points. Martez Walker scored 30 points for the Golden Grizzlies (10-3).
"To start the second half," said head coach Mark Fox, "our defense was not good enough. We scored so easily in the first half, that I think we felt like we could just continue to play similar to how we did in the first half defensively. They made seven of their first nine [shots] in the second half, and we gave them all kinds of momentum and dug ourselves a hole offensively, and we aren't good enough to play that way. We have to be a more stable defensive team to give ourselves a chance to win."
Frazier shot 7-of-8 from the field (3-of-4 from three-point range) in the first half and the Bulldogs took a 45-38 lead into the break. With under five seconds to go in the half, Ogbeide stole the ball and passed it up ahead to a wide-open Parker, who dunked it home just before the buzzer. Georgia was strong in two other key areas in the first period, shooting a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line, while on defense, holding the Golden Grizzlies to just 35-percent from the floor.
Oakland opened up a 17-2 run over a nearly six-minute-long stretch early in the second half, while Yante Maten, who came into the game averaging 21.0 points per game, picked up his fourth foul during that time and later fouled out. A free throw by Ogbeide cut the deficit to just three with 2:01 to go, but the Bulldogs could not close the gap.
Georgia will be back in action Thursday, Dec. 29, as they travel to Auburn to begin SEC play. The game is set for a 7:00 p.m. tip and will be televised nationally by ESPNU.

In a study published online on September 5, 2014 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE, Dr. Gary Crawford, a University of Toronto-Mississauga anthropology professor, and two Chinese colleagues propose that the domestic peaches enjoyed worldwide today can trace their ancestry back at least 7,500 years to the lower Yangtze River Valley in Southern China, not far from Shanghai. The study, headed by Dr. Yunfei Zheng from the Zhejiang Institute of Archeology in China's Zhejiang Province, was done in collaboration with Dr. Crawford and Dr. Xugao Chen, another researcher at the Zhejang Institute. "Previously, no one knew where peaches were domesticated," said Dr. Crawford. "None of the botanical literature suggested the Yangtze Valley, although many people thought that it happened somewhere in China." Radiocarbon dating of ancient peach stones (pits) discovered in the Lower Yangtze River Valley indicates that the peach seems to have diverged from its wild ancestors as early as 7,500 years ago. Archeologists have a good understanding of domestication – conscious breeding for traits preferred by people– of annual plants such as grains (rice, wheat, etc.), but the role of trees in early farming and how trees were domesticated is not well documented. Unlike most trees, the peach tree matures very quickly, producing fruit within two to three years, so selection for desirable traits could become apparent relatively quickly. The problem that Dr. Crawford and his colleagues faced was how to recognize the selection process in the archeological record. Peach stones are well represented at archeological sites in the Yangtze valley, so the researchers compared the size and structure of the stones from six sites that spanned a period of roughly 5,000 years.
Researchers at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center (image) and the Gill Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children's Medical Center, Dallas, have made significant progress in defining new genetic causes of Wilms tumor, a type of kidney cancer found only in children. Wilms tumor is the most common childhood genitourinary tract cancer and the third most common solid tumor of childhood. "While most children with Wilms tumor are thankfully cured, those with more aggressive tumors do poorly, and we are increasingly concerned about the long-term adverse side effects of chemotherapy in Wilms tumor patients. We wanted to know – what are the genetic causes of Wilms tumor in children and what are the opportunities for targeted therapies? To answer these questions, you have to identify genes that are mutated in the cancer," said Dr. James Amatruda, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Molecular Biology, and Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern and senior author for the study. The new findings were published online on September 5, 2014 in Nature Communications. Collaborating with Dr. Amatruda on the study were UT Southwestern faculty members Dr. Dinesh Rakheja, Associate Professor of Pathology and Pediatrics; Dr. Kenneth S. Chen, Assistant Instructor in Pediatrics; and Dr. Joshua T. Mendell, Professor of Molecular Biology. Dr. Jonathan Wickiser, Associate Professor in Pediatrics, and Dr. James Malter, Chair of Pathology, are also co-authors. Previous research has identified one or two mutant genes in Wilms tumors, but only about one-third of Wilms tumors had these mutations. "We wanted to know what genes were mutated in the other two-thirds. To accomplish this goal, we sequenced the DNA of 44 tumors and identified several new mutated genes," said Dr.
Creating induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells allows researchers to establish "disease-in-a-dish" models of conditions ranging from Alzheimer's disease to diabetes. Scientists at Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have now applied the technology to a model of Huntington's disease (HD) in transgenic nonhuman primates, allowing the researchers to conveniently assess the efficacy of potential therapies on neuronal cells in the laboratory. The results were published online on September 4, 2014 in Stem Cell Reports. "A highlight of our model is that our progenitor cells and neurons developed cellular features of HD such as intranuclear inclusions of mutant Huntingtin protein, which most of the currently available cell models do not present," says senior author Anthony Chan, Ph.D., D.V.M., associate professor of human genetics at Emory University School of Medicine and Yerkes National Primate Research Center. "We could use these features as a read-out for therapy using drugs or a genetic manipulation." Dr. Chan and his colleagues were the first in the world to establish a transgenic nonhuman primate model of HD. HD is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder that leads to the appearance of uncontrolled movements and cognitive impairments, usually in adulthood. It is caused by a mutation that introduces an expanded region where one amino acid (glutamine) is repeated dozens of times in the huntingtin protein. The non-human primate model has extra copies of the huntingtin gene that contains the expanded glutamine repeats. In the non-human primate model, motor and cognitive deficits appear more quickly than in most cases of Huntington's disease in humans, becoming noticeable within the first two years of the monkeys' development.
Over the years researchers have made tremendous strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer by searching genomes for links between genetic alterations and disease. Most of these studies have focused on the portion of the human genome that encodes protein – a fraction that accounts for just 2 percent of human DNA overall. Yet the vast majority of genomic alterations associated with cancer lie outside protein-coding genes, in what traditionally has been derided as "junk DNA." Researchers today know that "junk DNA" is anything but – much of it is transcribed into RNA, for instance -- but finding meaning in those sequences remains a challenge. Now a team led by Lin Zhang, Ph.D., research associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), has mined those sequences to identify a non-protein-coding RNA whose expression is linked to ovarian cancer. The study is published online in Cancer Cell. Supported by the Basser Research Center for BRCA in Penn's Abramson Cancer Center, Dr. Zhang and his team built a DNA copy number profile for nearly 14,000 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) (image), across 12 cancer types, including ovarian and breast cancers -- the two major BRCA-related cancers. They found that the number of copies of lncRNA genes on a chromosome consistently changes in 12 different cancer types and lncRNA genes are widely expressed in cancer cells. What these non-protein-coding RNAs do is still relatively unknown. However, given their vast numbers in the human genome, researchers believe that they likely play important roles in normal human development and response to disease.
Working with a team of scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TU Munich), Brandeis University, and Leiden University in the Netherlands, Dr. M. Cristina Marchetti and Dr. Mark Bowick, professors in the Soft Matter Program in the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse University, have engineered and studied "active vesicles." These purely synthetic, molecularly thin sacs are capable of transforming energy, injected at the microscopic level, into organized, self-sustained motion. The team's findings are the subject of a cover story in the September 5, 2014 issue of Science. The ability to generate spontaneous motion and stable oscillations is a hallmark of living systems. Cells crawl to heal wounds and the heart contracts periodically to pump blood through the entire body. Reproducing and understanding this behavior, both theoretically and experimentally, remains one of the great challenges of 21st-century science. By confining cell extracts of important biological ingredients (i.e., bundles of long filamentary proteins known as microtubules and kinesin motor proteins) to the surface of a lipid vesicle, the TU Munich and Brandeis experimental part of the team has created "active vesicles" that undergo spontaneous oscillations and striking changes in shape. These biomimetic sacs are fueled by energy-consuming kinesins–i.e., nanomachines capable of transforming chemical energy into mechanical work–and may be thought of as the first step toward fabricating artificial cells. Fueled by kinesins, these defects form spatial patterns that oscillate between distinct configurations, turning the active vesicle into a robust miniature clock with tunable frequency. When confined, the long microtubule bundles coat the surface of the vesicle, forming a liquid crystal, where the filaments are, on average, aligned in a common direction.

The criminal justice system is a combination of laws regulating behavior and the institutions that enforce these laws. It incorporates police, courts, jails, prosecutors, and defense attorneys. These separate elements have existed for centuries, and each has its own history, but American criminal justice emerged as an interconnected system in the late 19th century.
In the United States, criminal justice... was built around state, county, and municipal laws and enforcement mechanisms; for most of American history, it was an overwhelmingly local process. Each state has its own penal code, as do local governments. Courts have traditionally been the central instruments. In colonial America, most cases reached courts when accusers—plaintiffs—swore out complaints. Only in major cases such as murders would coroners assemble juries to formally accuse suspects. These arrangements existed because communities had no real policing mechanisms. Boston created the first police department in the United States in 1838, and few cities followed that example until the 1850s. Instead, in 19th-century Philadelphia, most cases were initiated by private prosecutions. Plaintiffs would swear a complaint before a magistrate and pay a constable to bring defendants to court. This democratic arrangement allowed everyone who could afford court fees to seek
