ELEANOR HALL: Australian researchers have found a way to reduce the debilitating side-effects of schizophrenia drugs, which can cause tremors and shaking.
Researchers at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Science say dialling down the protein which causes the symptoms instead of blocking it completely is a more effective approach.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: About 230,000 people are affected by schizophrenia in Australia.
The most effective treatment for the disease was developed decades ago and can have crippling side-effects.
Dr Rob Lane is one of the lead researchers in a study that has looked at ways around that.
ROB LANE: By blocking the D2 receptor, which is also involved in other important body functions such as movement, these medicines can lead to some significant side-effects, such as even Parkinson-like symptoms.
And what we thought was perhaps we could attack this problem in a slightly different way by trying to find drugs that instead of blocking this receptor just act to kind of tune down the action of this protein, kind of like a dimmer switch.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: The Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences says Italian researchers were the first to flag the idea of using an existing treatment to dial down the dopamine D2 receptor, instead of blocking it.
Dr Lane says his study has confirmed the treatment works to do just that.
ROB LANE: So what we've done is taken a published and disclosed drug, found its got a different mechanism that actually might be beneficial, and now we're at the starting point where we can, because of this new idea of how it works, we can start to develop better derivatives of this drug that hopefully it will end up as an effective anti-psychotic drug.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: Earlier this year, a world-first DNA study of schizophrenia linked the disease to other sites in the body, including regions previously associated with auto-immune diseases.
The discovery was hailed as a major step towards new treatments, targeting different parts of the brain.
But Dr Lane says improving existing treatments is an important step forward in the meantime.
ROB LANE: To date it's the only really effective approach, at least in terms of pharmaceutical interventions, and so if we can find a way of doing it in a safer manner, which hopefully leaves less side-effects, I still think that's a worthwhile approach.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: Dr Lane describes schizophrenia as a complex disease that's difficult for the pharmaceutical industry and academics to fully understand.
He says the next step is to find the right balance for the treatment so medication is still effective but doesn't cause side-effects.
Doctor Lane sees opportunity for a whole new class of anti-psychotic drugs in the future.
ROB LANE: We have to make sure it's very specific for the targets in the body that we want to design it for.
We need to make sure it's safe, we need to make sure it gets into the brain, and, you know, every single one of those different aspects is a significant hurdle and probably requires, you know, lots and lots of iterations of the design process going back and forward.
But the exciting thing is that with this new mechanism we have perhaps a different approach to treating the disease that we can hopefully take forward one day.
ELEANOR HALL: That's Dr Rob Lane ending Stephanie Smail's report.

Local band Altaic explores "darker tonalities" with Oceans Down You'll Lie
By Manny Theiner
The band Altaic doesn't have anything to do with its namesake -- a macro-family of Central Asian languages including Turkish, Mongolian and Korean. But one can imagine riding horseback over windswept steppes or snow-blown tundra while listening to the band's "Tsar Bomba," a nine-minute track reminiscent of the droning, guitar-based intensity of melancholic-tinged indie bands from the late '80s, such as Sonic Youth, Savage Republic and Nice Strong Arm.
"Tsar Bomba" is the closing track of Oceans Down You'll Lie, the six-song debut by Altaic. The band consists of drummer Jon Feinberg, guitarist Eric Arnold (briefly in Projekt Records shoegazers Lowsunday) and bassist Chris Moore (a transplant from Virginia Tech). But the track's textural density is also a link to the band's earlier years as a quartet, with second guitarist James Harvey.
"When we had four people, we did more of the sprawling, instrumental stuff in a post-rock vein," recalls Feinberg. "A couple songs on the album are holdovers from that initial incarnation. Since we pared it down to the power-trio format, we've had to write more cleanly and concisely, so we've become better songwriters."
The shorter songs at the start of the album focus on softish vocals and mathy guitar lines which occasionally explode into walls of distorted fury, similar to Slint, Polvo or a little-known band called Helms Alee, which Altaic admires. ("They're a Seattle band on the Hydrahead label -- the main guy was in These Arms Are Snakes," explains Feinberg.)
Even with the lineup changes and shorter songs, don't worry about these guys becoming too saccharine and iPod-ready anytime soon. "We're still committed to the same kind of darker tonalities we've always been doing," says Feinberg, "and that continues to show up in the way we write, which is a collaborative result of jamming that gets processed down, compressed and tightened up. I don't think even in the more structured songs there's anything approaching a strong pop sensibility."
Altaic CD-release with Allies and German Shepherd. 9:30 p.m. Fri., Jan. 15. Smiling Moose, 1306 E. Carson St., South Side. $5. 412-431-4668 or www.smiling-moose.com

Rare Australian earthquake sparks panic in Melbourne
Cory Weinberg Mar 05, 2022 0 Comments
The earthquake, which occurred at a depth of ten kilometers, surprised the second population City of Australia At 09: 00am (23: 00 GMT) and was felt around hundreds of miles.
5.9 magnitude earthquake in Australia
Rescue Services received calls for help, as did Dubbo, about 700 kilometres from the detention centre. United States Geological Survey (U.S. Geological Survey)S. G. S) estimated the volume at 5.8, before revising it to 5.9.
Most of Melbourne's residents, confined for eight weeks, were at home when the earth shook. Footage of panicked residents leaving their homes flooded social media.
Among them is Suam FIM, 33, owner of open coffee Melbourne, When the tremor occurred, they rushed into the street. "The whole building was shaking. All the windows, the glass Shiver was shaking like a wave, " he told AFP.
An extraordinary event in Australia
"I've never experienced this before. It was a little scary, " she says. Prime Minister Scott Morrison, reacts New York, Stressed that there were no casualties or significant damage.
A. F. B
Nevertheless, he acknowledged the "very disturbing" side of the earthquake for people, in an area not used to shaking like Australia.
"Everything started to shake… Everyone was in a bit of shock, " 30-year-old cafe worker Parker Mayo told AFP, while footage from the Chapel Street shopping area showed bricks falling to the ground.
The magnitude 4 occurred shortly after the first tremor. Large earthquakes are unusual in southeastern Australia, the most densely populated region.
"I was sitting at work at my desk… It took me a while to figure out what it was, " Mark Holcombe, mayor of Mansfield, near the epicentre of the quake, told the ABC.
See also A connection with Ryaner between Rhodes and London this summer
It was the largest earthquake in southeastern Australia in years, University of Melbourne geologist Mike Sandiford told AFP.
He said an earthquake of this magnitude occurs every "once every 10 to 20 years in southeastern Australia and the last was in 2012." "We had very large ones of six sizes in the late 1800s, although precise magnets were not well known," he pointed out.
Geoscience Australia said the quake was followed by a series of four aftershocks of magnitude 2.5 to 4.1.
Several hundred to come later
Australians should expect" several hundred setbacks, most of which can't be felt by humans, but probably a dozen will be felt, "the scientist warned, speculating about the" billions of dollars of damage "that would have occurred if the earthquake had"occurred under Melbourne."
Work to repair the damage could be complicated by ongoing curfews and protests. Hundreds of people wearing work boots and construction site Jackets rallied in central Melbourne on Wednesday to protest the compulsory vaccination of construction workers, as most construction sites in the city were suddenly closed.
On Tuesday, Melbourne riot police used pepper spray and rubber bullets to disperse a violent protest and said the rallies "will not be tolerated."

Fort Worth Fabric Studio: Valentine's Day Roundup!
Hi there! Can you believe February is approaching?! I love to decorate my house for Valentine's Day! So I thought I would post some of my favorite past Valentine's Day projects for you guys!
Before we get to the projects, we have a couple of awesome bundles for Valentine's day that would be perfect for these projects!
We also have a whole section on the website dedicated to all things Valentine's Day! You can find it HERE!
Alright, so let's get to some of my favorite projects!
Cute and colorful! Love Notes & the Heart Garland look like fun.


I literally threw this outfit together in two minutes (perks of having a neutral wardrobe). However, I ended up liking it so much that I decided to do a post on it! I love this look because it FEELS like you're wearing pajamas, but it LOOKS super stylish. That is literally my goal in life – to wear clothes that are comfy but still pass for "real clothes". 😉 This black top from Zara is so nice. It is basically a t-shirt, but the high neckline makes it look a teeny bit more fancy. Also, THESE PANTS. They are the first pair of modern culottes that I own. You can buy culottes that are much more flowy, but for everyday wear, I think these are perfect. I topped the look off with my jean jacket that my sister bought at Aeropostale literally 5 years ago and never wore! I checked their website, and they surprisingly still make it! Of course no comfy outfit would be complete without sneakers. I know I've featured these shoes in two of my previous fashion posts, but I just love them so much!
Hope you're all having a great week and got a little fall fashion inspiration from this post!
Totally agree! You look so stylish and well put together, even for a 2 minute outfit. That's definitely what my goal of fashion is, haha.

Burford launches bid to raise millions more to fund law firms and litigation
Burford: seeking more investment
Burford Capital has launched its bid to raise tens more millions of pounds to invest in litigation and law firms.
The AIM-listed company has issued an offer of 6.125% sterling bonds, maturing on 26 October 2024, which will be guaranteed by Burford.
The bonds will pay a fixed rate of interest of 6.125% per annum. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears in equal instalments.
The bonds have a minimum initial subscription amount of £2,000 and are available in multiples of £100 thereafter. Investors will be able to sell them at any time on the open market. The bonds are expected to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the London Stock Exchange.
It is Burford's second bond issue, with the first having raised around £90m, and the company hopes to attract a similar level of interest this time around.
Burford's recent results revealed that it saw income rise 26% to £73m in 2015, mainly thanks to several litigation investments maturing, along with a 27% increase in operating profit to £54m.
Last year also saw Burford commit a record £145m in new investments, and its current portfolio stands at £442m in commitments, across 54 different litigation investments. It is operating in 40 countries and US states, and working with more than 40 law firms.
That Burford has chosen to seek more investment, rather than recycle its profit, indicates that it sees continued growth potential.
The annual report explained how Burford was evolving in line with the legal market's changing attitude towards outside capital. From having originally just funded individual cases, only 13% of its new investments in 2015 were single matters, with the rest "a variety of other forms of capital provision to the legal market".
This included providing £71m ($100m) in capital for an unnamed global law firm, in its largest transaction ever.
The offer period for the bonds is expected to close on 19 April 2016.

WiSilica and iGuzzini together to provide intelligent lighting solutions via Bluetooth
Laguna Hills, Calif / Recanati (MC), Sep 23, 2020 – WiSilica, the world-class IoT solution provider for smart environments, and iGuzzini illuminazione, the international leader in the field of architectural lighting, announce a strategic partnership to develop smart solutions for a wide range of lighting applications. The collaboration aims at building a shared know-how in 'people-centric' lighting, both in terms of Smart Light Control and Smart Light Services, in an efficient way.
By exploiting the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, light can easily be managed from a mobile device or provide additional information and services for the users. Thanks to the Bluetooth Low Energy technology – by now included in every device, light becomes portable, thereby facilitating installation, programming and management of the system. Remote control is also possible using an IP protocol across a Bluetooth Low Energy -WiFi interface, again using a smartphone or directly online. Furthermore, light can also create new smart services for the benefit of energy administrators and users. In particular, thanks to beacon technology integrated into the lighting system and the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, it is possible to receive digital information by activating proximity marketing services (push notifications), route indications (indoor navigation), or data about the use of spaces (space management) directly on a device. Control devices and intuitive apps provided by WiSilica together with iGuzzini's extensive lighting solutions portfolio enable a wide range of applications through energy-efficient and easy installations in places of culture, work, retail, cities, infrastructure and hospitality & living.
"We are excited to partner with iGuzzini and work-along a globally recognized professional architectural lighting innovator," says Suresh Singamsetty, CEO of WiSilica. "Our expertise in wireless capabilities and automation supports iGuzzini in precisely controlling lights and boost energy savings. Further, our DALI compliant devices enable them with the flexibility to integrate seamlessly into vast ecosystems," he adds.
WiSilica pioneered the world's first location-aware IoT platform, ARIXA, combining smart lighting and real-time location services. The platform seamlessly integrates hardware, middleware, cloud, and application interfaces to power a wide range of applications. With combined efficiencies from both companies, customers can now easily access open, connected, automated, and easily manageable lighting systems.
"Our aim has always been that of supporting the lighting community by offering as many solutions as possible for their projects worldwide and fulfilling their needs for flexibility and efficiency", declared Massimiliano Guzzini, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of iGuzzini illuminazione. "Unlike other proprietary standards, the Bluetooth technology enables interoperability allowing our clients (both designers and end customers) to combine multiple lighting solutions and to optimise the whole system in terms of technology, performances, and project costs thanks to its great adaptability, reliability, and ease of use".
About WiSilica
WiSilica is a smart environment IoT platform and solutions provider that bridges objects, locations, and people in real-time. ARIXA, WiSilica's location-aware IoT platform provides complete cloud-to-device solutions for intelligent wireless controls (LUMOS) and real-time location solutions (TRAK). The company also provides customized end-to-end IoT solutions (ORION) to OEMs developing new smart solutions. WiSilica with its expanding partnerships with global tier1 companies is committed to extending its leadership in human-centric lighting, energy efficiency, space management, and AI-powered analytics. For more information: wisilica.com.
About iGuzzini
iGuzzini illuminazione, founded in 1959, is an international leading group in the architectural lighting sector. It has approximately 1450 employees dedicated to the study, design and production of smart interior and exterior lighting systems in partnership with leading architects, lighting designers, engineers and research centres worldwide. It is based in Recanati (Italy), with operations in over 20 countries across 5 continents. iGuzzini works to use light to improve the relationship between humans and the environment through research, industry, technology and knowledge, in places of culture, work, retail, cities, infrastructure and hospitality & living. In 2019, the company's consolidated revenue reached € 237.7 million. As of 2019 iGuzzini is part of the Fagerhult Group. For more information: iguzzini.com.

Displaced people with disabilities struggle in conflict-afflicted Eastern Ukraine
Sasha, 61, internally displaced resident with disabilities in the Sviati Hory housing facility, Sviatohirsk, Ukraine © Yulia Gorbunova - Human Rights Watch
The following Human Rights Watch report denounces the conditions of internally displaced people with disabilities in war-affected Eastern Ukraine
On 16 March 2020, Human Rights Watch (HRW) published a report denouncing the consequences of conflicts for internally displaced people with disabilities in Easter Ukraine. The term internally displaced persons (IDPs) – according to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement – refers to "persons or groups of persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed an internationally recognized state border". Due to their forced displacement, IDPs are inherently vulnerable to deprivation of adequate shelter, further displacement and other risks, such as lack of access to basic services, family separation, sexual and gender-based violence, trafficking or discrimination and harassment. The impact of those risks is greater on certain categories of people prone to vulnerabilities, including people with disabilities. Such a state of affairs has been present in Eastern Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict.
Since 2014, Eastern Ukraine has been affected by a war between the government forces and Russia-backed armed groups. The conflict has spread through the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and forced about 1.5 million people to flee to nearby cities and towns or to further Central, Western and Southern zones of the country. To respond to the challenges of the increasing internal displacement, local authorities in conflict-affected areas have employed existing facilities and structures such as churches, hotels and recreation centers, to accommodate people displaced by the conflict. These structures – initially conceived as temporary solutions - are ill-devised to adequately address the basic needs of the IDPs, especially of those with disabilities, who are inherently more vulnerable and, as such, face further challenges. Although their life is no longer in in immediate danger due to the hostilities, the UN aid agency's overview of humanitarian needs in Eastern Ukraine suggests that 1.1 million older people and 416,000 people with disabilities are among the five groups bearing the heaviest burden of the conflict, emphasising the severe obstacles they have been facing in accessing basic services, structures and health care since the beginning of the war.
Firstly, since 2014, older people and people with disabilities have struggled during evacuation and were unable to decide on the place and mode of their relocation, which, despite the responsibility to protect IDPs belonging to national authorities, were carried out exclusively by NGOs and civil society organisations. Secondly, even inside the housing facilities, IDPs lacked and still lack adequate access to water, sanitation facilities, heating services, functioning elevators and accessible pathways, impeding their personal mobility. In addition to these physical challenges, they often experience stress and trauma originating from the chaotic evacuation process as well as the sudden detachment from their network, which has led some to also experience loneliness and isolation. Ultimately, access to basic services remains a real challenge. Not only do the IDPs struggle with easy access to medical care due to hospitals being located kilometers away with no accessible transportation available, but also are faced with a shortage of medical specialists. Further difficulties materialise when attempting to purchase medications or access quality healthcare due to long waiting times in case of emergency health situations. Similarly, while public transport is not wheelchair-accessible, the alternative modes of transport are too expensive, which undermines their ability to carry out daily activities independently. Finally, children with disabilities cannot access local schools and can only take part in education by having teachers come to the housing facilities.
The above issues affect more than 200 centers around the country, which offer assistance and shelter to displaced people. As a result, Human Rights Watch urged the Ukrainian government to fulfill their responsibilities under international humanitarian law to provide for the protection and humanitarian assistance of IDPs. Another focus of HRW was a government compliance with the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which guarantees equal, fair and inclusive access to transport, basic health services, education and physical environment more broadly. Therefore, the first step suggested is to conduct consultations with the people affected to ensure that their basic rights and services are safeguarded in order to foster a right to respectable life for all, especially during a conflict.

Spirit AeroSystems to acquire Asco Industries
Spirit AeroSystems has announced it is to acquire S.R.I.F. N.V., the parent company of Asco Industries for $650 million in cash.
Asco is a supplier of high lift wing structures, mechanical assemblies and functional components to major OEMs and suppliers in the global commercial aerospace and military markets.
Spirit expects to finance the acquisition through new debt.
Asco employs approximately 1,400 people across four manufacturing sites. Commercial aerospace programmes it supplies include Airbus A320, A350 XWB and A380; Boeing 737 and 787; Bombardier C-Series; and Embraer E2. Military programmes include F-35, A400M, and KC-390.
Tom Gentile, Spirit President and CEO, said: "Asco is a compelling fit for Spirit that aligns extremely well with the strategic priorities we have been communicating. Specifically, it expands our Airbus content on A320 and A350 wings, adds new defence content on the F-35 and broadens our commercial capabilities to help grow our fabrication business.
"We are pleased to acquire a business of this scale that has such an outstanding reputation with its customers dating back to 1954 and a strong management team led by CEO Christian Boas, who will remain with the business following the closing."
Asco revenues are anticipated to be approximately $400 million in 2018.
Gentile added: "We expect to realise attractive cost synergies from the acquisition; the expected return on investment exceeds our internal threshold and the post-synergy EBITDA multiple is under 8x. Spirit estimates the acquisition will be accretive to adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share in the first full year after closing."
Christian Boas, CEO of Asco, commented: "This transaction with Spirit represents an excellent outcome for Asco and as we become part of a larger, global enterprise with greater combined expertise and resources, we will be even better positioned to do that. We are confident this combination will deliver long-term benefits to our customers and we look forward to joining Spirit as we embark on the next chapter in our company's history."
The transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2018, is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Today was a bit hellish. It started with a South Dakota storm at 2am. It continued with hot breath in my face, a 145lbs of dogs crawling backward on it's belly to get out from between the bed and the wardrobe and two cranky adults. Great combo...right?
After one poor cranky husband got EVERYTHING done by himself and one cranky wife got some tylenol and food it started to look up. Until Iowa that is.
The flooding is something horrible in parts of South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. We drove by parks with water up past the slides. Trees buried up to the tops in places. Fields of crops covered in a sheet of water. Sometimes in Iowa but especially in South Dakota you could only tell if it was originally a pond or a field by the GPS pictures. We saw some dirt roads in Eastern South Dakota that we'd swear had been raised up about 6 feet just to combat the water. Some of the flooded fields even had ripples or waves on the water. We drove down one such road as they were building the road. Dump trucks, bulldozers, and something strung in the water right along the side of the road to break the waves to help with the erosion.
Then in Iowa the freeway was shut down. I29 was shutdown north of Omaha and according to the Iowa DOT radio did not open again until Rockport, MO.
Here's where the funny kicks in. Our GPS device is notoriously stubborn which is fitting with his Scots voice. He tried to reroute us back to I29 for about 45 minutes. We tried to follow the detour signs but somewhere around 30 miles EAST of I29 they disappeared. I tried to route us around to a place to cross over the river only to find I'd chosen the wrong road. I called the campground for help as soon as my cell phone coverage kicked back in but I was 45 minutes south of the road I needed to be on. The campsite was still about 20 minutes south of the road I needed to be on.
At this point we've been on the road since 9:17 am and it's just after 4:30. My driver was tired, cranky, hungry, low on gas, low on patience and we weren't turning around. I wasn't about to argue. The nearest open campground was still an hour away but that was ok. We could do the Omaha Zoo another year. A potentially less wet year. A potentially less heartbreaking year for those affected.
For now we are somewhere in Missouri... again. There is a pond behind us, a playground in front of us, the A/C is turned off, the vent is turned on, the windows are open and nature is chirping. Once you've arrived at a campground, had your dinner, and settled in for the night it doesn't seem to matter about the stop we didn't make or the Zoo we won't get to go to. Even the occasional sound of a car driving by is comforting.

MT Joins Climate Alliance, Commits to Paris Agreement
Keeling Curve Prize Winners Hope to Clear the Air
"Sister" Group Urges Action on Climate Change
MIAMI, Fla. - Flooding in northern Florida, record-breaking cold temperatures across the state resulting in crop losses, water scarcity -- all are signs of what scientists call "climate change," and they are mobilizing women to organize to work toward global solutions. Oxfam America recently gathered women leaders in Washington, D.C., as part of the international humanitarian organization's "Sisters on the Planet" movement, which is documenting the impact of climate change worldwide and pushing for adaptation answers.
Annie Betancourt, former Florida legislator, congressional candidate and 1st vice president of the Florida League of Women Voters, is one of the "sisters." She says Florida is feeling the impact.
"This winter was a very, very cold winter. We suffered, we saw the extremes. It seems like the four seasons are confused. They're changing, erratically."
Water shortages both here and around the world are another result of climate change, she says. In some nations, it is challenging to find enough water and food to meet the daily needs of survival, she adds, pointing out that often it's women who bear that responsibility. Betancourt says the "sisters" are working to educate people from the most-affected nations, and give them tools to cope with the change.
"They were blaming themselves. It was 'our fault' that we don't have water. It was 'our fault' that we have famine. It was seen as a cultural problem."
Here in Florida, Betancourt says everyone can help others survive and thrive by making an effort to conserve.
"We all need to conserve water, to learn about the environmental changes and take action. I think each and every one of us is capable of making changes, and hopefully it will have a ripple effect."
"Sisters on the Planet" advocates funding adaptation solutions, especially for vulnerable nations affected by climate-related disasters.

Delaware State Bird
Delaware State Bird: Delaware Blue Hen
Scientific Name: Gallus gallus domesticus
State Bird Description: The Delaware Blue Hen is not species of chicken but more of a historical figure in Delaware's history. The history goes back to the revolutionary war when Delaware Regiment was said to carry Blue Hen chickens with them into battle which was fokelore. The name is believed to come from how the Delaware Regiment looked, with blue coats, white breeches and a red plume from their hat. Which some would say makes them look like a Blue Hen. Cockfighting was popular in that time and fighting chickens was fearless and would never back down like the Delaware Regiment.
Where It's Found: The University of Delaware's College of Ag & Natural Resources maintains a breeding group of the Blue Hen Chicken (Gallus gallus) on the campus farm.
Delaware State Bird Dedication: 1939

"The Bad Guy" Episode Guide
October 18, 2013, 9:26 pm EDT Wander Over Yonder 8 comments
Is it possible that the episode wasn't leaked? Woohoo! Or did I just miss it? However that may be, our 360p recording of "The Bad Guy"—written by Ben Joseph, storyboarded by Riccardo Durante—is embedded after the break. (Or above if you read this on Tumblr.)
Typically, I would insert a synopsis here, but it doesn't look like an official one has been released. Let's just say: "The Bad Guy," wherein Wander wears a mustache. Damn that ending was awesome. For a moment there I wasn't sure whether they'd be able to pull off yet another good twist, but pull it off they did.
Also check iTunes to see whether they released their version. YayPonies will then quickly reupload it sans DRM.
Now we have a one-week (or rather one-Friday) break, and then we have "The Troll," "The Box," and "The Hat" waiting for us!

This time it's not Bryan Arnett who posts the first concept art of the upcoming episode but Joe Pitt! I'm looking forward to more such insights after the premiere, and I will add them in this post.
On the above image Joe Pitt commented:
I haven't posted much of my design work from "Wander Over Yonder," so here's some bad guys that were fun to design from this Friday's episode.
Tonight Bryan Arnett also posted some of his designs on Tumblr; find them below.

New Episode Titles and Dates "The Troll" and "The Box"
October 16, 2013, 10:00 am EDT Wander Over Yonder Comments Off on New Episode Titles and Dates "The Troll" and "The Box"
Trollvia 2 by sydneythefangirl
For all of you who've been saying that Wander is "such a troll," Zap2it has a real troll for you. Or maybe it's Wander after all—or Sylvia? There's not yet any sort of synopsis.
So far it only says "Wander Over Yonder: The Troll" (Friday, November 1, 2013) and "Wander Over Yonder: The Bad Guy; The Troll" (Friday, November 2, 2013).
"The Box" (Friday, November 15, 2013) is not entirely new as Craig McCracken already synopsized the episode in an interview with TV Equals:
No two episodes of [Wander Over Yonder] are really alike. Sometimes the Wander-Hater episode feel a little more Bugs Bunny–like, but then sometimes we might do an episode about Wander's curiosity. We have an episode coming up called "The Box." [Wander] is a nice guy, and so he agrees to deliver a box to somebody, but the rule is you can't open the box. So it's 11 minutes of Wander's curiosity just being tested to the limits: Can he open this box, and will he do it? And you kind of just want to see what will happen when he's pushed that way.

New Episode Titles: "The Prisoner" and "The Bad Guy"
September 12, 2013, 2:02 pm EDT Wander Over Yonder Comments Off on New Episode Titles: "The Prisoner" and "The Bad Guy"
Zap2it has published the titles of two new episodes, "The Prisoner" and "The Bad Guy." "The Prisoner" is set to be the b part to "The Good Deed" on October 12, and "The Bad Guy" will be paired with "The Fugitives" on October 18 although the latter episode will then already have aired as b part for "The Picnic." Don't ask me; I didn't make it.
Now—according to Zap2it, the Disney press releases, and interviews—we can look forward to the following premiere lineup (excluding repeats):
"The Greatest" and "The Egg" on September 13
"The Fugitives" on September 20
"The Picnic" and "The Fugitives" on September 21
"The Good Deed" on September 27
"The Pet" on October 4
"The Prisoner" on October 11
"The Good Deed" and "The Prisoner" on October 12
"The Bad Guy" and "The Fugitives" on October 18
"The Box" on an unknown date
"The Void" on an unknown date
Strangely enough, "The Pet" is set to air before "The Good Deed" and "The Prisoner," but since that date comes straight from a Disney press release, I'm not inclined to doubt it. In a few weeks we'll know the dates with more certainty.

Book roundup
By Yvonne Zipp
Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman (William Morrow)
Charlie Nancy is an easily embarrassed London accountant in this sort-of sequel to Gaiman's "American Gods," winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards. Attending his father's funeral, Charlie discovers two disconcerting facts: 1) His dad was actually Anansi, an African trickster god; and 2) Charlie has a brother, Spider, who's inherited some of his dad's powers. When Spider comes to visit, he proceeds to seduce Charlie's fiancée and get Charlie fired from his (admittedly horrible) job. Then things start getting out of control. The genre-busting novel is very creative and very funny, two Gaiman specialties. Its sweep is less epic than "American Gods," but it works well on its own terms. Grade: A-
Eldest, by Christopher Paolini (Knopf)
To all aspiring fantasy writers: Resist the temptation to write Elvish poetry. Even Tolkien couldn't really pull it off. This has been a public service announcement from your neighborhood critic. Aside from a tendency to wax flowery (see note, above) and a sad lack of humor, Christopher Paolini largely delivers on the plot of his followup to the bestseller "Eragon," about a boy and his telepathic dragon. (In addition to Tolkien, Paolini owes a large debt to Anne McCaffrey.) The second installment opens three days after the dwarves' and rebels' victory over the forces of the evil King Galbatorix, and they don't even get a chance to bury their dead before the fighting breaks out again. Eragon heads for the elf stronghold to complete his training as a dragon rider. Meanwhile, Eragon's cousin Roran, in the strongest sequences of the book, tries to protect their home village from the beetle-like Ra'zac. The book is too long by about 200 pages, but Paolini has created a likable hero, and fantasy buffs should enjoy "Eldest" - even though they probably guessed the finale's "startling revelation" back in Book 1. Grade: C+
The English Teacher, by Lily King (Atlantic Monthly)
Thomas Hardy's lighthearted romp to the gallows, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," serves as inspiration for Lily King's debut novel, "The English Teacher." The teacher of the title is Vida, a single mother who is teaching "Tess" to her high-school sophomores. Vida has just married Tom, a widower with three children. Her son, Peter, was delighted at the idea of being part of a normal family, but soon realizes his mother is careening further from "normal." In Peter, King has created a wonderfully sympathetic character, and the pleasure of meeting him is the best thing about the book. But ironically for a book that draws on Hardy, "The English Teacher" runs out of words too soon. King never gives Tom much reason for having married Vida, and it's even less clear why he would fight for the relationship. Still, you've got to have a soft spot for someone who can sum up a classic as follows: "'Everyone struggles with "Tess" at first,' Vida said. 'When do people start liking it?' 'Around page 416.' Amy flipped through the fat paperback. 'I knew it. The very last page.' " Grade: B
Friends, Lovers, Chocolate, by Alexander McCall Smith (Pantheon)
In this enjoyable follow up to "The Sunday Philosophy Club," a character remarks: "It was hard to make goodness - and good people - sound interesting. Yet the good were worthy of note, of course, because they battled and that battle was a great story, whereas the evil were evil because of moral laziness, or weakness, and that was ultimately a dull and uninteresting affair." Therein lies the charm of McCall Smith's writing: In his quiet, good-humored way, he makes goodness interesting. (Don't scoff: Even Milton had trouble with that one.) Scottish philosopher Isabel Dalhousie befriends a man who has just undergone a heart transplant and is troubled by visions. Meanwhile, she's still editing her journal on applied ethics and moonlighting as shopkeeper as a favor to her niece, Cat. (She's also tending to Cat's ex-boyfriend, Jamie, acting as confidant for the besotted musician.) As with his bestselling No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, the mystery is almost beside the point. Isabel's deductions provide McCall Smith with an opportunity to reflect on philosophy, the poems of Robert Burns, and Scotland. Grade: B+
Goodnight Nobody, by Jennifer Weiner (Atria)
Chick-lit queen Weiner ("In Her Shoes") tries her hand at mystery writing in her fourth novel. Kate Klein, mother of three toddlers, is bored out of her frizzy head in one of Connecticut's tonier suburbs, where all the other moms raise parenting to a full-contact sport without breaking a manicured nail. Then Kate finds the most Stepfordian of the lot in her kitchen with a knife in her back, and thinks, "Ooh, a hobby." As she tries to track down the killer, Kate discovers that the murdered woman was a ghostwriter for an Ann Coulter-like conservative and that she had hired a detective to track down several older men. And wouldn't ya know, said private eye just happens to be the man Kate fantasizes about daily. (Did we mention that her marriage isn't going so well?) Weiner is undeniably funny, and her sketches on motherhood will make you laugh. But neither the romance nor the mystery fully tracks. Weiner neatly deploys a school of red herrings, but the ending is so preposterous that it almost derails the entire novel. Grade: B-

Q: How to set distinct variables for different hosts in an external variables yaml to be used in Ansible? variables I have for example this playbook:
- name: System Configuration
  hosts: host1, host2
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Set current app version
      shell: export APP_VERSION={{ app_version|quote }}

I wish to set this variables for multiple hosts, for example host and host2. I read somewhere that I can create a yml file with the name of each host and store the variables fort each host there  but I cane find how to load this file for each host.
I thought it may be loaded automatically if the name matches the host name but I dont think this happens I get an error FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable
so how can I define a set for variables for each host separately?

A: There are many options.

*

*For example, create a dictionary in 'group_vars/all'
shell> cat group_vars/all
app_versions:
  host1: '1.1'
  host2: '1.2'
  default: '1.0'
app_version: "{{ app_versions[inventory_hostname]|
                 default(app_versions.default) }}"

The playbook
- hosts: host1,host2,host3
  tasks:
    - debug:
        var: app_version

gives
TASK [debug] **********************************************************
ok: [host3] =>
  app_version: '1.0'
ok: [host1] =>
  app_version: '1.1'
ok: [host2] =>
  app_version: '1.2'

*The next option is 'vars_files'. Create a YAML file and use it in the playbook. For example, the file and the playbook give the same result

shell> cat app_versions.yml
app_versions:
  host1: '1.1'
  host2: '1.2'
  default: '1.0'
app_version: "{{ app_versions[inventory_hostname]|
                 default(app_versions.default) }}"

- hosts: host1,host2,host3
  vars_files:
    - app_versions.yml
  tasks:
    - debug:
        var: app_version

*The next option is to create files in host_vars. For example, the 'host_vars' and the playbook give also the same result

shell> cat host_vars/host1.yml
app_version: '1.1'

shell> cat host_vars/host2.yml
app_version: '1.2'

shell> cat host_vars/host3.yml
app_version: '1.0'

- hosts: host1,host2,host3
  tasks:
    - debug:
        var: app_version

The options override each other. See Understanding variable precedence. In the above options, the lowest precedence (4,5) are group_vars/all followed by host_vars precedence (9,10). The highest precedence (14) has the play vars_file.

Putting it all together, you might want to put the defaults to the group_vars/all
shell> cat group_vars/all
app_versions:
  default: '1.0'

and override the defaults in host_vars
shell> tree host_vars
host_vars
├── host1.yml
└── host2.yml

shell> cat host_vars/host1.yml
app_version: '1.1'

shell> cat host_vars/host2.yml
app_version: '1.2'

Then, the playbook below gives again the same result
- hosts: host1,host2,host3
  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        app_version: "{{ app_version|
                         default(app_versions[inventory_hostname])|
                         default(app_versions.default) }}"
    - debug:
        var: app_version

A: Ok there are probably many solutions to this but the one I liked an used is to create a vars sub-directory in my project folder. Ansible look there by default when trying to find variable files for a host with the include_vars module.
So in my tasks I added this task:
  tasks:
    - name: Load variables for host
      include_vars:
        file: "{{ inventory_hostname }}.yml"

and in my project in the vars directory I added a host_name_as_in_inventory.yml file with the host-name for each host I want to specify variables for.

Edit: as it is suggested int he other coment if the yml files with the hostnames are added in a directory calles host_vars they are loaded automatically so the include_vars taks is redundant.

in these hard days in Iran college term finished, being stuck at home, nothing better to do than working programming projects .
last night I didn't sleep because the program that I wrote was giving me strange crushes and I was pulling out my hairs .

let me show you few examples of how it works .
- go to your program's source code directory .
have fun with GDB .
I prefer to use graphical front End of GDB, I use KDevelop IDE and it let me debug my application just like .Net or VS 6.


My previous post explained why selling time for money is the professional business owners blessing and curse with an overview of the options you have to stop selling time for money. This post covers the first option.
Step 1 – What's the need?
To deliver real value to your clients you need to know what result they think they want.
I say 'think' your clients want because generally, we all want something quick and easy and your clients will most likely be no different.
What they actually need is often harder work and may take longer to accomplish, which isn't as appealing.
To understand what your clients think they want, you need to know their urgent need.
This is where you need to speak with current and previous clients, prospective clients and people in your industry to find out what is the urgent need of your clients.
You're a health professional and after research, you find that your markets' urgent need is they feel they don't have a beach ready body and they go on holiday soon.
The solution is to lose weight, say 10 pounds, before going on holiday.
The result they want is a magic pill they take before bed and when they wake in the morning they are 10 pounds lighter.
But what they actually need is good sleep, nutrition, emotional balance and exercise. That seems like a lot of hard work compared to taking a pill right?!
So you create a package that gives them as close to what they want as possible with you doing a lot of the heavy lighting.
Once you know the value your clients want, you package together your services, skills, experience and insight into a solution to suit the result they want. This becomes your basic package.
I like to use 3 + 1 levels with my packages; Basic, Standard and Premium (the 3) and Deluxe (the +1).
A basic package does exactly what it says on the tin and delivers what you clients want.
A standard package is a basic version plus extra luxuries, nice to have elements or does things quicker. The extras will relate to giving a better or more valuable experience to your client.
A premium package does things even quicker or has, even more value than the standard package.
A deluxe package goes way over and above what any client would possibly want from you.
The main reason I like to use 3 + 1 levels with my packages is it gives a range of value to suit your different clients' affordability and desire.
As a side note it's really important to know that each package is at least as profitable as the package below otherwise you will be wasting your time and energy on higher ticket packages and making less money.
When creating your packages you should list the solutions your clients will get not the features and benefits of working with you. The solutions are what they actually want, which are more appealing.
Solution – Lose weight quicker.
Feature – Get an hour massage after exercise to remove the lactic acid.
Benefit – Recover faster from exercise.
What's more appealing to you when considering to buy the package?
Now you have created the different levels of your package you just need a name. A name that explains the solution you provide.
The Fast Beach Ready Weight Loss Package – Lose 10 Pounds in 3 Weeks. Boom!
I'll walk you through pricing in a future post but the price is definitely linked to the value that your clients receive rather than the time you put into delivering the value in your package.
Before we get to pricing though the next post will be creating products from your services.
Now I want to hear from you. Let me know in the comments below: What is your markets' need? What does your package look like?

"When oil actually becomes a commodity, an incredible visual drama unfolds."
"Nigeria, with a population of about 140 million people, depends solely on oil, which constitutes 95% of the country's foreign reserve, yet proceeds from oil revenue do not reach the local people from the oilproducing area."
"I always wanted to be an artist, to be creative, and to be useful to my society."
–George Osodi, interview at Documenta 12, Kassel, Germany, 2007
Photojournalist George Osodi spent five years photographing the oil-affected areas of the Niger Delta to expose the injustice and devastation caused by the oil industry. Using his preferred wide-angle lens to get close to his subjects, he captures dramatic scenes of people living in a seriously compromised and seemingly uninhabitable landscape. The man in the lower right corner of Oil Spill Near Farm Land Ogoni moves briskly into our space, and away from the burning oil wells and oil-polluted waters surrounding him. Osodi's disturbing imagery echoes the voices of the Delta inhabitants as they protest against companies such as Mobil and Exxon, whom they blame for destroying their environment, and stealing their resources.
The reference to Ogoni in the title has particular meaning, for here Ogoni environmental activist and writer KenSaro-Wiwa was hanged with others in 1995 for protesting the Ogoni's environmental destruction by multinational oil companies, whose operations are sanctioned by the Nigerian government. Since then, Saro-Wiwa has become a cultural hero for the inhabitants of the Niger Delta, and Osodi's photographs act as chilling reminders of the circumstances leading to his death.

Check out: Amul's tribute to late Vinod Khanna is both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Created: Apr 28, 2017 - 12:21 pm IST
The nation bid adieu to one of the finest actors in the Hindi film industry, Vinod Khanna on Thursday, April 27. After suffering from bladder carcinoma (bladder cancer), Vinod Khanna said farewell to this world.
Many Indian celebrities and politicians shared their condolences to Vinod Khanna's family and friends. The actors, who had the chance of working with him, shared their experiences and said that it was an honour to share a screen space with him.
Indian dairy cooperative Amul always has their versions of any pressing topic that is political or social or is trending on social media. Amul, who have this photo segment called Amul Topical, shared a tribute in the honour of late Vinod Khanna which is equally heartwarming and heartbreaking. They captioned it as, "#Amul Topical: Tribute to one of Hindi cinema's favourite superstars." The quote on the photo reads, "Yeh Kabhi Na Ruka Haar Ke. Hamara Apna Vinod Khanna. 1946-2017."
Vinod Khanna was a sitting Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Gurdaspur district of Punjab. He was seen in 141 films between 1968 and 2013. He had starred in films like Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Gaddaar, Jail Yatra, Imitihaan, Inkaar, Kuchhe Dhaage, Amar Akbar Anthony, Qurbani, Kudrat, Dayavan, Kaarnama, Suryaa: An Awakening and Jurm. He was last seen in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dilwale.

The best treatment for PAD depends on a number of factors, including your overall health and the location, size and cause of the blockage. In some cases, lifestyle changes can be enough to slow the progress and manage PAD. Others will need intervention to restore the blood flow to their legs. For that reason, your physician may recommend seeing a doctor who specializes in this condition to discuss methods of rechanneling blood flow around the obstructed arteries. Most of these methods are minimally invasive and do not require surgery or an incision.
Find a vascular surgeon to discuss PAD.

£4.5million upgrade for Welwyn Garden City waste depot?
The Serco depot in Tewin Road, Welwyn Garden City. Picture: DANNY LOO
Welwyn Hatfield Council is looking to spend £4.5million upgrading its depot for waste collection, street cleaning and grounds maintenance.
The council has described the Tewin Road depot as "outdated" and "not fit for modern operational purpose".
The site is leased to the council's waste contractor, Serco, and is used primarily for the storage of vehicles and equipment.
It also has a workshop to undertake vehicle and equipment maintenance and repair, offices for Serco management and administration, plus welfare facilities for crews and bin storage.
The site is about 1.9 hectare in size but the operations are currently spread over a large area, and it is recognised that these operations could be undertaken in a smaller area of the site.
In a council report on the subject, it is highlighted that the depot has not had any major investment for more than 20 years.
According to the council, the depot would need to be updated regardless of whether the Cole Green household waste and recycling centre operations relocate there.

Psittacanthus schiedeanus (Schltdl. & Cham.) G.Don is a species of Neotropical mistletoe in the family Loranthaceae, which is native to Panamá, Costa Rica, Honduras and Mexico.

Description
Psittacanthus schiedeanus is a hemiparasite growing to  with quadrangular stems which are flattened at the nodes.  The haustorium is large. The bluish-green leaves are asymmetric and about  long and  wide, with stout petioles and pinnate venation. The inflorescence is terminal. The fruit is a berry.

Hosts
The most common hosts are oaks(Quercus species) and other hardwoods. Other hosts are the conifers: Pinus leiophylla, P. montezumae, P. teocote and P. oocarpa. This species causes significant damage to pine forests used for harvesting wood. However, despite being a damaging parasite of conifers, it is important for medicine and wildlife.

Ecology
Birds are important in the plant's life-cycle. They pollinate it while feeding on the nectar, and when they feed on the fruit they disperse the seeds.

Taxonomy
Psittacanthus schiedeanus was first described by Adelbert von Chamisso and Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal 1830 as Loranthus schiedeanus, and in 1834, George Don assigned it to the genus Psittacanthus.

Etymology
Psittacanthos comes from the Greek psittakos (parrot), and the Greek anthos (flower), possibly chosen, according to Don, because  of the bright colours.  The epithet, schiedeanus,  honours the collector, Christian Julius Wilhelm Schiede, botanist and plant collector in Mexico.

Hello Erin! I am looking for a math tutor for my 17-year old nephew who is a junior at Penta. He has a 504 plan there but needs additional tutoring. Math is the only OGT he did not pass. We are looking for once a week afterschool tutoring in algebra at our home in Cygnet. Are you interested and available? If so, please contact me directly at (phone number available after purchase). Thank you! Best, H. S.

Book - The 2000 AD Art of Kevin O'Neill: Apex Edition
. News, Books, Comics
An incredible insight into the art of one of comics' most unique talents – The 2000 AD Art of Kevin O'Neill: Apex Edition is available to pre-order now...
Kevin O'Neill, who sadly died in November, was an artist without peer. His work on strips in 2000 AD such as Nemesis the Warlock, Metalzoic, Judge Dredd, Ro-Busters and more sealed his reputation even before his wildly popular and influential work on Marshal Law with Pat Mills and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Alan Moore.
Due for release on 28th June 2023, the Apex Edition will be available in standard and special slipcase editions. The standard edition is available to pre-order from the 2000 AD webshop and will also be available for comic book stores to order through Diamond Distribution's Previews magazine next year.
The slipcase edition is only available from the 2000 AD webshop and will include an individually numbered extra bound page, featuring a page of brand new art created by O'Neill exclusively for this edition.
The contents of this 160-page collection were compiled by O'Neill from his own archive, working closely with Rebellion's editorial and reprographics teams to curate this unmissable testament to his remarkable career.
His innovative, iconoclastic, idiosyncratic, and inventive work for 2000 AD will be showcased in an unmissable over-sized art book, featuring high-resolution scans of original artwork by one of comics most unique talents.
Presented in a deluxe, over-sized facsimile edition, the Kevin O'Neill Apex Edition will reproduce these stunning pages at their actual size – from covers to stunning double-page spreads, from just some of his famous work on Nemesis the Warlock to his final sequential work on Bonjo From Beyond The Stars, giving fans the chance to see these pages in all their glory.
From his concept sketches for 2000 AD's alien editor 'Tharg the Mighty' to complete episodes from robot rescue squad series Ro-Busters, future lawman Judge Dredd, and alien freedom fighter Nemesis the Warlock, O'Neill's unmistakeable style was influenced by everything from his childhood in the East End of London to the films of special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen, from Mad magazine and from the work of British cartoonist Ken Reid.
Editor Oliver Pickles said: 'There was and is no-one who draws like Kev O'Neill and this new Apex Edition is ample proof of what an amazing talent he was – whether it was his character design or the incredible energy he brought to every page. It is a shame that he never got to see the finished book that he'd worked so hard on over the past year, right up until the end of October in fact, but I think it is fitting that it stands as a true testament to such a unique talent and such a warm, generous man.'
2000 AD webshop pre-orders for the slipcase and standard editions will close at 12noon GMT on 28th March 2023. Orders for the standard edition placed through the 2000 AD webshop before 3rd January will receive a 10% discount.
