Stylistically my first impression of When Rivers Meet's debut album 'Liberty' was that it had the makings of a very good modern folk album. Gradually as I got deeper into the early listening sessions it began to strike me that their approach differed hugely to most folk singer songwriters until it started to dawn that much of their approach has a deep 'Americana' feel, with some songs, even if they are not dark lyrically, creating a deep dark atmosphere. Much of that is a result of Grace Bond's beautiful haunting vocals on songs that are never over arranged, in fact in the main, quite sparse and with husband Aaron supplying some excellent harmonies, as well as occasional lead vocals, as a counter to her expressive beauty. It now strikes me that my first impression that they are a 'folk duo' is very far from the truth. There is a folksiness in their style, but there is also an unusual country take as evidenced by their exquisite version of the late great Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. They even plunge into some deep blues albeit a blues that incorporates a jazzy flavour, of which, more later, in fact they seem to have absorbed many different styles, the upshot being that this entire album is stylistically unlike anyone else that I can think of, likewise any genre I can think of if it comes to that!
This talented British husband and wife duo is the already mentioned Grace Bond who takes most lead vocals, fiddle and mandolin with husband Aaron Bond also on vocals as well as guitar. Eight of the eleven songs were written by the pair with the other three compositions being June Carter and Merle Kilgore's classic Ring of fire, Fingertips by Roy Villanis and Mark James's Suspicious minds, at least two of those songs showing their musical bravery by taking on such well known classics, although that is not a problem. Their treatment is so different and has such a strong originality of arrangement that the songs worked superbly.
I've seen 'When Rivers Meet' compared to the duo 'Civil Wars,' a comparison I don't really get. Other than the fact that both are duo's the latter's music has always struck me as being pleasant enough although I don't really feel that the depth of the songs and performances match up to those on this excellent album. Certainly the vocal sounds that Grace creates are beautiful but the depth, range and even a haunting eeriness are what set the duo apart and above just about any other duo playing in a similar generic field. With Aaron's vocals varying from a warm sympathetic counter to Grace's voice to a hard expressive quality that enables him to provide a high degree of dynamism and variety. When you put the two together it is pretty much 'a match made in heaven.' Generally there is so much restraint in the playing that the sound often appears to be far more sparse than it actually is and whilst the tempo's vary little, big changes aren't necessary on a recording that has such depth and variety, both texturally and sonically.
It takes some getting used to but the already mentioned album opener Ring of fire is a dark funereal version of a song that is incredibly well known so must really have taken some concentration (and nerve!) to record. There is a complete change of atmosphere and arrangement, this couple giving it a deep dark treatment with its sparse instrumentation of mandolin, violin and acoustic guitar allowing the spookiness to prevail. There is a shuffling percussion with a speedy electric guitar on Regrets and lies a song that has a 'rockabilly' beat and Aaron on lead vocal. Whilst the rockabilly comparison does hold good there is so much more to this exceptional song that has a deep yet mellow darkness, with a throbbing bass coming in latterly. The instrumentation changes are difficult to keep up with although to be honest there is very little instrumentation, it is just a fairly complex, if hugely rewarding song that I've been playing over and over, with the beat being so repetitive it is virtually an addiction! Postpone is a much more upbeat, up tempo song with the sprightly fiddle, percussion and chiming mandolin providing a nice full sound to accompany Grace's lead and Aarons harmony vocals. It is a composition that has a strong folksy feel, although that 'folksiness' is certainly not as restrictive as some generic stylings seem to be and there is an openness that expands the sound, depth and spaciness of the song. Finally, on Can't pay my way the mix of brass and deep chiming guitar with percussion gives the song an almost (Tom) 'Waitsian' atmosphere on a composition that has a nice blend of styles, with brass entering the fray and creating an old New Orleans jazziness with the trombone, clarinet and sax often working against each other. The two vocalists work the song as a harmonic duet which roots the sound and allows the remainder of the instrumentation to roam free!
I've already said that the duo are difficult to pigeon hole but it is gradually becoming apparent that they bring their own unique style to any song, regardless of its 'roots.' My feeling is that if they start to load their direction more towards the folk elements their uniqueness will start to dissipate but if they keep aiming in the direction that this album points, which certainly contains folk, but also jazz, country, blues and myriad other styles they will get the success that they are working towards and that this tremendous album more than hints at!

From some rifles to an army: The history of the YPG
The YPG fighters who battle now in Raqqa recall their rise from the first formation in Dirbêsiyê battle with some rifles, to the battles for Serêkaniyê up until today to an army which defends whole of Northern Syria.
ANF - HÎVDA HEBÛN
Sunday, 23 Jul 2017, 00:01
YPG fighters who take part in the Operation Wrath of Euphrates spoke to ANF about the 5th anniversary of the Rojava Revolution and founding of the YPG.
THE FORMER UPRISING FORCES TURNED FOR PERSONAL PROFITS
ANF spoke to Orkeş Serdem, a YPG fighter who witnessed the rise of the YPG as a member from the outset. Serdem unfolded his thoughts with a short recollection of the first state of affairs of the war, and told the following:
"The Syrian Revolution against the Assad regime took its beginning in 2012. It started in Deraa. The revolution passed after that into to Homs, Idlib and many other cities. The first forces which rose up against the regime were called Jaysh Hur. But then some other groups emerged which bore all the name of Islam, but which were not at all formed to bring about freedom to the people. They were chiefly focused on personal profits. When they started in Deraa for example, they really sought after the freedom of the people, but it stopped with their presence in Hama. When Ikhwan groups turned up in Hama, they had only in mind to take revenge for the massacres of Hafez Assad. And they also intended to establish a force bearing the name of Islam in Idlib in the north, but propagating for a very strict kind of Islam. The regime on its side stepped up with massacres and shoved the people into jails as the war intensified. They wanted to create a force in Northern Syria, or to say it exactly, in the heart of Rojava from Qamishlo to Dêrik and Efrîn, which would not serve the protection of the people. Some of them demanded a system shaped after their interpretation of Islam, while some eyed for the chair of the state's presidency. They were not at all interested in building up fraternity among peoples.
THE YOUTHS UNION YXK STARTED TRAINING AND MOBILIZATION
The YXK (Association of Students from Kurdistan) which was formed from within the society was a smithery of the society itself. I mean it evolved from within the people. The people had at that time just a vague imagination of what a true revolution would look like. They called out for freedom but still were unable to understand it fully. The force was largely formed by Kurdish youths. These youths received training to be able to protect their villages and cities. They were prepared for the task to protect their community. Those other forces didn't have any intentions to drive out the regime nor to free the people because they were formed in the name of religion or shallow pledges for democracy. All of them were operating just for their own interests. Their only worry was to capture as many towns as possible and to attain oil fields in Syria. They wanted to grow on such premise.
THE YPG WAS FOUNDED TO PROTECT ALL THE PEOPLES OF ROJAVA AND SYRIA
The YPG was founded around the same time when Jaysh Hur crossed into Serêkaniyê in 2012. From the very outset of the foundation of YPG out of the YXK, the goal was never infringed to the protection of the Kurdish people alone but set out for all the peoples in Rojava and Syria. Youths of the Kurdish, Arabic, Christian, Circassian and more people were part of the YPG as the people's defense units. All the elements in Rojava and Northern Syria strived henceforth to lead the revolution with a democratic and free mentailty to victory.
YPG'S TRUTH WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AFTER THE BATTLE IN SERÊKANIYÊ
When the People's Defense Units were formed, many forces within Syria didn't wait long to oppose it. To prevent the YPG to succeed, they spread propaganda a lot in a hope to sully the name of the new force. But after the battles of Serêkaniyê took place, the truth of the YPG was unfolded to everyone. It was that time that the people came to know the truth and philosophy behind that force, namely fraternity of the peoples in Syria. But those hostile forces didn't let it be and planned many times to carry out massacres against the peoples in Northern Syria. Because that region, with its diversity of peoples, is very different from the rest of Syria. There are peoples as Arab, Turkmen, Circassian, Syriac, Kurds and many more. But these plans to dissolve the YPG failed because of the mounted resistance and struggle. We have seen many times people deserting those hostile forces to join the YPG after they saw the truth with their own eyes. When the people from different elements joined our ranks, what did they realized then? They realized at first that our force is vibrant of an unquenchable source of willpower. To fight the other forces which keep killing civilians, ravage their homes and drive them to emigration. The YPG is bound to history and came for the protection of the people, while again on the other hand the society developed within its ranks.
There was no fraternity of peoples in Syria before. Everyone was forced to be as the Ba'ath regime enacted it, even though all these peoples here had lived together for thousands of years. What the YPG aimed to realize in Rojava was that anyone could live according to their own culture and history.
INTENSE ATTACKS ON ROJAVA'S SOIL DUE TO ITS RICHNESS
Rojava was subject to many destructive attacks during the Syrian Revolution, because its soil is rich in all aspects. Just mentioning petrol and water, its whole sources of economy are vast. The forces which attacked Rojava didn't do it to topple the regime but to get hands on the wealth of the land. The YPG prevented them from doing that and to sully the land of Rojava with their filthy mentality.
THEY ATTACKED WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT BUT WERE STILL DEFEATED IN KOBANÊ
The People's Defense Units followed its vow to protect all peoples of Syria and the land of the country, and liberated the whole stretch of land from Serêkaniyê to Shedê. Gang's attacks were after that not directed to Cizîrê Canton, but concentrated on the city of Kobanê. They attacked Kobanê with all their might but were defeated. They suffered a defeat which already went down in history.
ISIS HAS NO POWER AND WILL LEFT
Today we are in Raqqa, conducting an operation for its liberation. The YPG crossed to Raqqa after it grew and developed itself out of its own labour. All our fighters requested to be sent to Raqqa. All the international powers are watching Raqqa as all their political bargains involve the city. But after its liberation a system will be established which the people yearn for, however we need at first to free the people of the city from the gangs' rule of oppression completely.
When we first headed towards Raqqa we started to approach Mishlib, which was rather easy because the gangs totally lacked morale and strength. ISIS is totally defeated. Their power is broken, their will shattered. We approach slowly into the city to prevent civilians being harmed. That is why we prefer not to haste. We try to keep the civilians out of harms way because the gangs use them as human shields. It goes very well and the gangs suffer immense losses. Their bodies are in our possessions.
Our comrades launched this campaign with revolutionary spirit and have already surrounded whole of Raqqa. What only remains is the city center, which we will cleanse gradually to prevent damage on civilians."
WE HAD ONLY RIFLES WHEN WE STARTED
Another YPG fighter named Salar stressed the conditions under which the YPG had to lead the struggle, and started to tell of the first battles with rifles:
"I was also there at the beginning of the Rojava Revolution and still am. It was for me very meaningful to take part in such a revolution.
When we started we had only very few means. We had no weapons. There were very few. First, we drove the regime out of Dirbêsiyê. The battles were fought with rifles then which weren't enough at all. Just some kalashnikovs which belonged to some families. They provided us with those guns and we fought with those.
THE PEOPLE JOINED US AFTER THEY CAME TO KNOW US
After that we fought in Serêkaniyê where Jaysh Hur was a major force. We drove them away from of our city after which our possibilities grew slowly. We confiscated their weapons, cars and dushkas and went ahead until we reached where we are standing now. After Serêkaniyê we reached Til Xelef, Mamburka, Girê Spî (Tal Abyad), then Manbij and after that we fought for Kobanê. We created possibilities by our own but it was still not enough. The people still didn't knew us and our truth well enough, most of whom were Arabs. The only option was nonetheless to go on and we did, whereafter also those Arabs came to know us and realized that the Ba'ath regime brainwashed the people because they were really afraid of us before it. But they later understood that we defy and fight against oppression they slowly approached the Rojava revolution and started to take part in it. Now, they are a majority.
We gradually drew near to the freedom we went for, but we were never granted rest. We have been put on an embargo. Sêmalka was closed. We weren't able to cross our wounded out of Rojava to have them treated.
Today, we fight together with our Arab comrades in the phase of Raqqa's liberation. We fight together, get trained in the same Training Cycle, and many come to us receive our special training.
ISIS HAS NO POWER LEFT TO SURVIVE
ISIS has no more the force they used to have. They resort to attacks with bomb-laden cars to damage the psychology of the people, but more ISIS can't do anymore. Their strength is depleted.
We didn't even believe at first that we could reach this level. Why didn't we? Because we had neither any means nor any support from the vast communities. Nonetheless we were labelled as terrorists. The Turkish state and Southern Kurdistan still call us terrorists.
But we foiled all their hostile efforts with our struggle and resistance. Up to this day, the major force which resists and fights ISIS are the YPG and YPJ forces.
WE'LL FIGHT UNTIL ISIS IS FINISHED
I want to add, that we are resolute to continue our fight against ISIS until their total defeat. We will march and resist on the path of the philosophy of Leader Apo until the end. And I express my condolences to the families of martyrs and repeat for them our vow to march on the martyrs' path."
DESPITE ALL OBSTACLES IT'S A JOY BE PART OF IT
Rûken Qamişlo, a YPJ fighter who also fights in the ranks of the YPG and YPJ since 2011 referred to that time as follows:
"That time was a very crucial one. Especially one filled with hardship. We not only had difficulties getting new members, but had to struggle also with an immense lack in armory.
At the time of the YXK we managed everything in a covert manner. We organised ourselves and held meetings in secret. The fighting skills which the YXK trained itself in was only restricted to the fields. We didn't have any experience. We didn't have any military training. We gained our experience during the war. We endured many a times without any food or ammunition. But in the face of all difficulties and troubles, the successes we had and the atmosphere of friendship really made up for all of it.
WHEN WE SHOT OUR FIRST BULLET WE FELT LIKE HAVING FREED KURDISTAN
We joined many operations. We joined the liberation operations of Til Hemîs, Til Berek and many other campaigns. I'd say that the spirit of comradery was spurred at that time with a different intensity. When we shot our first bullet we felt like having liberated Kurdistan. We felt in battle like being invited to a celebration. Our sufferings today are nothing compared to back then. Our comrades were guided by a feeling and motivation which cannot be put into words these days. Because they joined the battles which would decide on everyone's life or death when battling the ISIS groups. But how is it today? ISIS has no strength anymore as they did before. They are finished. The only active ones of them are practically just their snipers. They use bomb-laden cars and lay mines. They can't battle for real anymore which - I believe - is in Raqqa obvious. But we will not hold back.
We as the YPJ are here to avenge all women of the world and especially the women of Shengal who got killed and sold by thousands. We are here to prove us as the women's defense forces."
Dijwar Qamişlo, another YPG fighter, told us also of the beginning from his own experience when they had to operate in secrecy and without any means or logistics. Dijwar stressed then that they made up for all the deficiencies by their sheer number and perseverance, and went on as follows:
"At first al-Nusra groups were present in Serêkaniyê. Our comrades arranged all preparations and we headed to our city. Some of that group were joining us but betrayed us afterwards in the morning of the holy day. We never trusted or believed anything of them because we understood they were just some gangs.
We launched our operations and fought until we liberated Serêkaniyê. The front line was opened up by that. So we started to advance towards Til Hemîs, Til Temir and Til Berek. The gangs were claiming that nobody could ever cross Til Temîs, the biggest city in that line. But we did, liberated it and continued until we reached Shaddadi.
When the YPG was founded we received only from then onwards training as a real battalion. The growth of the People's Defense Units continued with each gains we made.
We fought in many operations. We fought in campaigns for the liberation of Shaddadi, Kobanê, Shengal and Jazaa. After that, Hesekê city followed. The moment we secured the border we went for the liberation of Manbij.
And the most recent is Raqqa, which we have entered with very high morale. Everybody claimed Raqqa would be the worst, but we didn't encounter any special difficulties. Yes, we are now in Raqqa and lead everything also here to a victory."

National UMC and our pastoral team are honored to be part of your special day.
The fee for non-members to be married at National UMC's Metropolitan Memorial Campus is $3,000.
This fee includes the use of the Sanctuary, a room for both wedding parties, altar candles, and the organ. In addition, the fee includes the services of the organist and the host for both the rehearsal and the ceremony.
Please contact Dona Collary to arrange your wedding here at National UMC.
The fee for members of National UMC to be married here is $1,500, with members being encouraged to contribute more as they are able to do so. An honorarium for the minister performing your ceremony and providing for your counseling is not included in the above fees. If you are holding a reception at the church and wish to serve alcohol, you will need to request permission from the Board of Trustees prior to the event.
If you are a non-member, the minister's fee is $500. A deposit of $1,500 for non-members, and $750 for members, will confirm your wedding date. The balance is due thirty days prior to the wedding.
To ensure that the commitments inherent in marriage are as strong as possible, couples being married at National UMC are required to undergo marriage counseling. The nature of these sessions varies depending upon the minister the couple chooses to perform the ceremony. The counseling may be provided by either the minister or another qualified professional; however, the minister reserves the right of approval for those who are to provide the counseling. If you will be coming to one of our ministers for counseling, the couple is expected to begin the counseling at least six months prior to the wedding. It is the policy of National UMC that our organist, Bruce Caviness, has first right to play for all weddings conducted at National UMC. In special cases where the wedding couple may prefer to ask another musician to play our sanctuary organ, Mr. Caviness must approve the substitute and be satisfied with the musician's competency and experience.
The wedding ceremony is a religious service and only appropriate music may be chosen. Mr. Caviness is authorized to discuss and approve all musical selections for wedding conducted at National UMC. He will be happy to suggest a rich and varied repertoire of music from which selections may be made.
Since a wedding is a religious ceremony, it is also appropriate to select hymns to be sung by the congregation. Either the minister or the organist will be happy to discuss this with you. If you should desire to use additional instrumentalist for the wedding—i.e., harp, strings, or brass, etc.—you may consult the organist for recommendations or make your own arrangements.
National UMC and our pastoral team are here to help you honor your loved one's legacy with a "celebration of life" service.
So that we may have time, space, and pastoral counseling resources to devote to members of our congregation in their times of need and grief, we generally do not conduct funerals or memorial services for non-members. However, you may contact Dona Collary to inquire.
For our members, there is a beautiful outdoor columbarium adjacent to the Sanctuary of the Metropolitan Memorial Campus. A columbarium is a lovely and dignified place in which to lay a person's ashes to rest, and for family to find peace.
For resources on bereavement, click here.
Baptism is one of two sacraments celebrated by United Methodists. At National UMC, we are eager and happy to welcome you and your child into our community of faith and love. Parents wishing to have their children baptized must be serious about becoming members of our congregation. Families are encouraged to attend worship services regularly before requesting a baptism to make sure that National UMC is a good fit for their families.
Parents' next step is to contact the Director of Children's Ministries, Rev. Janet Craswell, who will discuss the baptism and find a mutually agreeable Sunday morning in which the baptism can be performed. To facilitate the process, please complete the online baptism request form below.
Next the parents will meet with the pastor conducting the baptism to discuss its meaning and implications, and to continue to attend worship services at National UMC. This meeting is held after the date for the baptism is set, but before it occurs.
The morning of the baptism, families may reserve seats for extended family members and friends. Photographs may be taken during the ceremony if no flash is used. Photographs may also be taken before and after the worship service in the sanctuary. Members of the congregation are invited to greet and congratulate the family after the worship service either during the coffee hour or after the worship service.
If you are an adult who would like to baptized, who has not been previously baptized, please contact Rev. Michael Chamberlain.

PRE-ORDER BRIAN COURTNEY WILSON'S DYNAMIC FIFTH ALBUM STILL
Receive "Inner City Blues" And Title Track "Still" Immediately With Pre-Order / Pre-Save
October 2, 2020 (Nashville, TN) — Brian Courtney Wilson's fifth eagerly awaited studio album, STILL, is available now for pre-order / pre-save. Today's pre-order advances the full-length digital release on all platforms, Friday, October 16.
Wilson continues to elevate his musicality and artistic depth with each new body of work. STILL is the much-needed album amidst some of the most uncertain and unprecedented times in modern history. Brian acknowledges our feelings, anxiety, frustration, anger, and fear, ALL compounded in 2020, yet doing so, all through a lens of hope. STILL navigates the spaces between fact and faith, and it is beautiful.
Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and a fraught election year, STILL takes on multiple meanings. STILL is a reminder that God is still Sovereign and still with us AND a metaphor for the 'stillness' in our lives and how everything has changed over the last several months.
As with previous hit songs, the project's title track "Still," is a sweeping and entirely personal ballad. Once again, Wilson makes us feel like he's letting us in on his innermost prayers and tapping into the same thoughts we have. "Being 'still' doesn't mean you don't do anything," said Wilson. "To be 'still' is the act of tempering any anxiety long enough in order to do what you are called to do, fulfilling the assignment(s) on your life, and doing the work."
"Still," and the poignant remake, "Inner City Blues," are available immediately when pre-ordered or pre-saved. The Marvin Gaye classic prefaced the 8-track album earlier this summer amidst a reckoning for social and racial justice. STILL also includes a guest appearance by Maranda Curtis on another remake "Ain't No Need To Worry," and a powerful and apt worship song "Fear Is Not Welcome."
Wilson continues to offer enlightening conversations every Thursday evening with his expanding "Breathe Again," chat series on Facebook & YouTube Live.

Q: Hyperledger Fabric v2.1: Fabcar with asLocalhost set to false in Gateway connection options I am trying to get a multimachine network of Hyperledger Fabric running. I encountered some errors. I was able to reproduce the same errors on a single machine in the Fabcar example of Fabric v2.1 by changing one line in fabric-samples/fabcar/javascript/query.js. I changed the line
await gateway.connect(ccp, { wallet, identity: 'appUser', discovery: { enabled: true, asLocalhost: true } });

to the line
await gateway.connect(ccp, { wallet, identity: 'appUser', discovery: { enabled: true, asLocalhost: false } });

So I am setting discovery.asLocalhost to false instead of true. When I run node query.js in the fabric-samples/fabcar/javascript/ directory. I get the following errors.

I followed the instructions in the Fabcar tutorial. Here are the steps to reproduce the error.
cd fabric-samples/fabcar
./startFabric.sh javascript
cd javascript
npm install
node enrollAdmin.js
node registerUser.js
[Change the line in query.js]
node query.js

If I can figure out how/where to specify the grpcs URLs, I think I can get my multimachine network to work. Any help is appreciated.
More detailed error logs can be obtained by setting export GRPC_TRACE=all and export GRPC_VERBOSITY=DEBUG as suggested by this answer.

A: In the single machine case your client application is running on your local machine but the nodes (peers and orderers) are running in Docker containers on your local machine, and have hostnames like peer0.org1.example.com.
Within the Docker network the nodes can talk to each other using their hostnames, e.g. peer0.org1.example.com. Your client (outside the Docker network) can't talk to peer0.org1.example.com because that DNS name does not exist. Instead it needs to connect to localhost on ports mapped (by Docker) to/from specific hosts/ports within the Docker network.
Your client application gets node endpoints in two ways:

*

*Entries in its local connection profile.

*Network topology returned by service discovery.

You can set appropriate (localhost) endpoint URLs in your connection profile. However, the endpoint URLs returned by discovery will be the ones exposed within the Docker network, e.g. peer0.org1.example.com. To facilitate this scenario, the SDK provides the discovery.asLocalhost setting which, when enabled, maps all endpoint addresses returned by discovery to the same port at localhost. An alternative approach is to add entries to your local hosts file that map the node names to localhost.
You should not have the discovery.asLocalhost setting enabled if your nodes are accessible on the real network using their configured hostnames. These hostnames must be resolvable in DNS (so for a real deployment you can't use non-resolvable addresses like example.com), and must match your Fabric network configuration (and server certificate details if using TLS).

A: For setting up the multiMachine network. The changes you have to make is on the config.json and connection.yaml ( basically connection profiles).
await gateway.connect(ccp, { wallet, identity: 'appUser', discovery: { enabled: true, asLocalhost: false } });

The localhost Property should be set as "false" as you are going to setup a multi-host Blockchain Network. You can create an overlay network to connect to it.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
Autograph letter signed "Freud" on cigars to an unidentified correspondent "Honored Sir and Dear Brother.". Vienna, May 26, 1921
FREUD'S CIGARS. In this fine letter Sigmund Freud asks a friend visiting Holland to bring back his beloved Dutch cigars, writing in small part, "Although I could just as well rely on your taste, in case you get to The Hague and make the purchase there, I'll give you the address Hagen Spinecka and the brand Soberanos (1400 [presumably a series of the Soberanos brand] 15 dozen). The enclosed 60 florin note is to cover this purchase." In turn-of-the-century Vienna, the Austrian government maintained strict control over the tobacco industry, and Freud relied on friends to bring him the cigars he smoked endlessly.

RIG-I Activation Protects and Rescues from Lethal Influenza Virus Infection and Bacterial Superinfection.
Influenza A virus infection causes substantial morbidity and mortality in seasonal epidemic outbreaks, and more efficient treatments are urgently needed. Innate immune sensing of viral nucleic acids stimulates antiviral immunity, including cell-autonomous antiviral defense mechanisms that restrict viral replication. RNA oligonucleotide ligands that potently activate the cytoplasmic helicase retinoic-acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) are promising candidates for the development of new antiviral therapies. Here, we demonstrate in an Mx1-expressing mouse model of influenza A virus infection that a single intravenous injection of low-dose RIG-I ligand 5'-triphosphate RNA (3pRNA) completely protected mice from a lethal challenge with influenza A virus for at least 7 days. Furthermore, systemic administration of 3pRNA rescued mice with pre-established fulminant influenza infection and prevented the fatal effects of a streptococcal superinfection. Type I interferon, but not interferon-λ, was required for the therapeutic effect. Our results suggest that the use of RIG-I activating oligonucleotide ligands has the clinical potential to confine influenza epidemics when a strain-specific vaccine is not yet available and to reduce lethality of influenza in severely infected patients.

Barry Didinsky
Life's A Pitch, And Then You Buy An Undertaker Jean Jacket
Text by Art O'Donnell
Hulk Hogan. Steve Austin. D-Generation X. The nWo. What do they all have in common? All of them generated huge merchandise sales. Also, unfortunately for Vince McMahon, none of these entities were wrestling in the WWF in 1995. So what could a promoter do when none of his stars were exactly raking in the cash at the merch stand?
Well, for one thing, he could hire an annoying pitchman to do a hard sell each and every show!
Enter Barry Didinski, the so-called Mayor of Merchandise (probably because "Sheriff of Shill" was too brutally honest).
Every Monday night and Saturday afternoon, Barry would not only try to shove the WWF's crappy merchandise down viewers' throats like a Ted DiBiase dollar bill, but he'd do it right damn there at ringside.
And what merchandise it was! For some reason, the WWF was really into gaudy t-shirts with the wrestlers' faces plastered all over the damned things, assuring that the gear would be unwearable in public. Listening to Barry Didinsky pitch these things, you'd think every wrestling fan wanted Razor Ramon or Bret Hart "all over" them.
Is it any wonder that the two best-selling wrestling shirts would take a minimalist approach?
If a hideous shirt weren't enough to get you dialling 1-800-TITAN-91, Barry would try to sweeten the deal with a "free" Lawrence Taylor poster thrown in for good measure. Hey, an LT poster doesn't sound so bad, you might be thinking, until you realize that this was an LT wrestling poster commemorating his Wrestlemania XI match with Bam Bam Bigelow. And it was designed to look like a WWF Magazine.
And just to add insult to injury, Didinsky would offer a box of Stridex pads with your purchase.
Apparently, an ugly shirt was just the distraction the typical WWF viewer needed to draw attention away from his pimply face. And hey, it's even got targets all over it so the bullies would know just where to punch you!
You've got to wonder who exactly was Barry's target audience with deals like this. Clearly, someone old enough to appreciate Lawrence Taylor's career and own a credit card, but young enough to need acne wipes and to wear, say, Adam Bomb's face and chest as a fashion statement.
WWF seemed to be trying to hit any demographic it could, which might explain why all the kid-oriented Federation gear was available in sizes up to extra large, and of course, Double XL. That, and the occasional "one-size-fits-all" option, might also explain the oversized shirts all the preteen girls wore as they cheered on Shawn Michaels's latest striptease.
Some of this junk even tried to double as a reference book, like this Bret Hart tee full of factoids that are sure to entertain and educate the guy waiting behind you in line to see Batman Forever.
I mean, if I wanted an encyclopedia on Bret Hart, I'd buy the Hitman's autobiography (which, for the record, I did).
Barry was dubbed, "The Monty Hall of the WWF," which was highly appropriate, because, like the "Let's Make a Deal" host, Didinsky made people dress up like morons just to get on TV.
For instance, there was this collection that incurred fines from the FCC for exceeding the limit on denim allowed on screen at any one time.
It's hard to believe Undertaker never wore this jacket during his "American Bad Ass" days, huh?
At one point, a human female model assisted Barry, but Didinsky, a full-grown man, took it upon himself to be the one to wear not only these heart-shaped HBK glasses…
…but also this red-and-pink number with a bare-chested Shawn Michaels leaning over for some pillow talk. I suppose this shirt would have come in handy when having a serious talk with Mom and Dad, who would be too confused about who exactly "The Heartbreak Kid" was to even fully process the fact that they'd never have grandkids.
But at least someone bought those HBK specs, perhaps hoping that Shawn was a fan of a demographic I like to call, "MINLFs."
Then there was the "Mad Capper," Barry's "tag team partner" against the Smoking Gunns, who was either a huge fan of the Mad Caps milk cap game or, as I like to believe, simply left out an "r" in his nickname.
Mad Caps, as you may have guessed, was a knock-off of the popular 90s fad, Pogs, and boy did Barry think they were the best thing since sliced bread!
In fact, the only thing better than Mad Caps (and, I suppose, sliced bread) was unsliced Mad Caps! Barry was always trying to pass off this sheet of uncut cardboard circles (along with the precious 18 karat slammer) as some kind of valuable collector's item, which it better have been, since by design it was impossible to play with.
But don't think it was just t-shirts, cardboard, and zit care products that Barry was hawking. There was also this official WWF backpack, which looked too small to hold the books of anyone but a grade-schooler…
…but for some reason came with more Stridex pads, I guess for all those seven-year-olds and their break-outs.
There was no mystery about why it came packed with a free "Big Daddy Cooler" lunch bag, though. Clearly, someone at Titan Towers had come up with a play on Kevin Nash's nickname and commissioned thousands of these bags before realizing that no one would ever, ever order one without it being given away for free.
Still, Diesel puns aside, the most unmistakably "1995" of all the WWF's bound-for-impoverished-Africa-as-a-tax-write-off clothing that Barry pitched on TV would have to be the In Your House t-shirts. These shirts came emblazoned with Diesel and Sid's faces and the exact date the customer proved mentally incompetent to continue having a credit card in his or her name.
As if it weren't bad enough having Todd Pettengill try to sell you on buying an off-month 1995 pay-per-view…
…Barry was trying to squeeze an extra 16 bucks out of you for a commemorative t-shirt, which in today's money comes out to more than 24 dollars. And besides, the crappy pay-per-view only cost $14.95 to begin with!
The first In Your House shirt proved so popular, claimed Barry, that he started selling the next batch before the show even aired. People can't be wearing out-of-date duds, and after all, no one wearing a shirt advertising a shirtless man and a guy in only a leather vest in something called a "lumberjack match" would want to get ridiculed by people on the streets.
And what Savio Vega fan could say no to a King of the Ring 1995 shirt?
By the end of 1995, Barry had stopped loitering in the aisles of WWF Superstars and Monday Night Raw before he even got a chance to promote the commemorative Hog Pen Match blazer. Somehow, the World Wrestling Federation got along just fine without him. So what is our friend Barry up to these days? Why, professional poker!
And really, could you think of a better profession for the Mayor of Merchandise? Anyone who could feign enthusiasm for a Bob Backlund for President pin…
…pretend like cardboard cut-outs of The Undertaker and Diesel weren't the most impractical and useless decorations imaginable to have around the house…
…act completely oblivious to the pot shots the announcers took whenever he was introduced, and hype up without a trace of irony the kind of tacky garbage the WWF was pumping out in 1995…
…surely has poker face worthy of the tables of Las Vegas.

Since then, the highest it has gone was 57.91 on Dec 24th, 1999. Yet with about 10 stock splits and several dividends in the 24 years, people definitely got their money's worth. If you would have purchased 100 shares in 1986 and let those shares ride until today, you would have 102,400 shares of stock at appx. $29 a share.

Brandon Jennings: Warriors tried to embarrass Wizards
By MICHAEL WAGAMANApril 3, 2017
Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry celebrates with a fan after scoring against the Washington Wizards during the second half of an NBA basketball game Sunday, April 2, 2017, in Oakland, Calif. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Washington guard Brandon Jennings accused Golden State of trying to embarrass the Wizards in Sunday night's 139-115 loss.
Jennings also didn't back down after shoving JaVale McGee after the Warriors backup center shot a 3-pointer in the final seconds.
"It's just a rule. I learned it when I first came into the league not to do that," Jennings said. "You're already up 20 almost, and then for him to do it, it was like, 'All right, come on. Chill out. Now you're trying to embarrass us."
The Warriors were comfortably ahead by 14 late in the fourth quarter but still had two starters — Draymond Green and Stephen Curry — on the floor. Curry scored five points in the final three minutes to finish with 42, while Green made a 3-poointer with 2:17 left to complete a triple-double.
That both were still playing with the outcome not in doubt miffed several Wizards players. When McGee tried a 3-pointer with the Warriors up 137-115 with 6.9 seconds remaining, Jennings had enough and gave McGee a hard two-handed shove after the ball was shot.
Officials reviewed the play and called a flagrant-1 foul on Jennings.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr later said he was unhappy with McGee's decision to shoot the ball in that situation and apologized to Wizards coach Scott Brooks.
John Wall said Jennings was justified.
"Whenever a team's up like that, you're supposed to just hold the ball and take a shot clock violation," Wall said. "What Brandon did, I don't think it was dirty. I think it was the right play. You don't let nobody try to embarrass you. I think that's what they were trying to do."
Jennings called himself an old-school player and said McGee and the Warriors were being disrespectful to the Wizards.
"Thank God he didn't go to the rack," Jennings said. "It probably would have been worse for him. At a time like that, I think you should just let the clock run out. I think it was already disrespectful that they were trying to get Draymond Green his triple-double and Steph was out there with 40. I just felt it was disrespectful.
"I'm old school. Like I said, he better be glad he shot that 3 and didn't go to the rack."

GoFundMe account launched to assist John Featherstone, the former El Camino College football coach

PUBLISHED: September 10, 2020 at 5:02 p.m. | UPDATED: September 10, 2020 at 5:34 p.m.
John Featherstone has been a fixture in the South Bay for decades, having attended Mira Costa High and El Camino College and coached ECC's football team for 31 years.
Featherstone, who retired in 2015, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease several years ago, according to his longtime assistant coach Gene Engle.
Last month, Featherstone had a seizure and, according to Engle, will need to be transferred to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation and then to a long-term facility that specializes in memory care.
To help cover the cost of his treatment, Engle has created a GoFundMe account for the Featherstone family. The goal is to raise $150,000. As of Thursday afternoon, $27,877 had been donated.
"He's a homegrown kid, who grew up in Manhattan Beach, went Mira Costa, an athlete in many sports, not just football," said Engle, who coached with Featherstone for 30 years. "He believed in the South Bay and a had a passion for success and helping people, and that's why the community has embraced him."
Featherstone took over the ECC program in 1985. During his career, he led the Warriors to two state titles, three national championship games and the 1987 national title.
"I've known him for 35 years and coached with him for 31, and we sat right next to each other," Engle said. "I've spent more time with him than my family.
"He could get kids to run through a wall for him. He had a great affect on people, inspiring them. He wasn't just about winning. He cared about our players and cared about their developing into responsible men and fathers."
The football field at ECC's Murdock Stadium was named after Featherstone last November. He was joined by several of his former players for the ceremony.
"I love it," Featherstone said that afternoon. "Coaching meant the world to me and helping build these young men. I just always tried to encourage everyone. It's great to see everyone here today. This is a special day."

Intelsat has by-passed the bank re-financing route and has privately placed the debt notes, worth $490 million, at 9.5 per cent interest, and due in 2022.
Reports say that Aurelius has exchanged a series of letters with Intelsat which were "far from friendly". Aurelius, in essence, says that in 2015 Intelsat had defaulted on its loan terms following on one Intelsat entity had appeared to provide funding to another. Intelsat is obliged not to exceed 6-times its own EBITDA. Aurelius says Intelsat, during 2015, breached this 6x obligation.

Jonathan Irons was freed after 23 years in prison.

Maya Moore, Instagram
Minnesota Lynx legend Maya Moore fell to her knees in emotion as the man she helped free from prison was released on Wednesday.
Moore shocked the WNBA world in 2019 when she announced she would be sitting out a season so she could help with the case of Jonathan Irons in her native Missouri.
She had met Irons through a prison ministry in 2007. Irons had maintained his innocence having been convicted at the age of just 16 for a 1997 home invasion and shooting, and was sentenced to 50 years in prison
In March, Irons' conviction was thrown out by a judge who found several issues with the investigation, a decision that was unsuccessfully appealed by the Missouri Attorney General's Office.
And with the prosecutor in St. Charles County deciding not to pursue a retrial, the now-40-year-old walked out a free man.
"Freedom," Moore simply posted on Instagram.
The 31-year-old announced in January that she would also be sitting out the 2020 WNBA season, though ultimately it has been delayed by the COVID-19 outbreak.
She told the Associated Press that following Irons' release, she's "looking forward ... to finally getting some rest and time with my family."
Moore will appear alongside Irons on Good Morning America Thursday.

Lalgudi G.Jayaraman
admin September 4, 2018 Profile
Lalgudi G.Jayaraman, artiste par excellence, stepped into the threshold of the eight decade of his illustrious existence on September 17. It is matter of pride and a privileage to take this opportunity through these colums to reflect on the respect and appreciation that he has received from on eand lal for his significant contribution to Carnatic Music. It is no exaggeration that the firmament of South Indian Music has been considerably enriched by Lalgudi Jayrama in more ways that one, for he is artist whose amazing vision has stirred the "Sagara" of Carnatic Music to introduce wider meaningful, dimension that have come to stay. Many small towns in the South such as Ariyakudi, Maharajapuram, Chembai, Semmangudi, Musiri and other have become synonymous with those of great vidwans.
The village of Lalgudi is not only identified with the Maestro but also with the violin. Jayaraman has engraved his name firmly in the spheres of performing, composing, teaching, conducting and organizing. His educative, entertaining lecture demonstrations studded with wit and pithy humour have been warmly welcomed by discerning rasikas. They have served as beacon lights not only to youthful aspirants but also to senior musicians.
His meteoric climb to the portals of greatness was largely due to his razor sharp mind, and most important an iron resolve and ceaseless perseverance throughout the long years to achieve exalted standards of excellence. His staple diet from a tender age was music and the Spartan grooming that he received from his Guru and father Lalgudi Gopala Iyer during his novitiate has made him what he is today.
Even during the early days of his career, he had the capacity to appreciate the positive aspects in the art of great masters and merge them with his own artistic skills. An inherent, creative talent, a brain that had a computer-like storage capacity and the daring to coolly pick up all the gauntlets thrown by the main performer in the public concert, were the firm stepping stones for his having reached stratospheric levels of musicianship. In the words of George Moore, an artiste is either before his time or behind it – Lalgudi most certainly belongs to the first category. Some of his varnams and thillanas composed nearly 40 years ago bear ample testament to his rare musical sagacity in the sense that they have captured the imagination of both performers and the public and have grown increasingly popular with the passage of time.
Having been closely associated with all time greats like Mudicondan Venkatarama Iyer, Musiri, Ariyakudi, Semmangudi, Madurai Mani Iyer, G.N.Balasubramaniam, Alathoor brothers and others, he leaves and indelible stamp as an accompanist with brilliant artistic acumen, shrewdly anticipating the musical thoughts of the center stage performer, yet keeping in control the temptation to steal a march over him and that is what concert ethics are all about.
