News Release 9-May-2022
SDSU researchers identify rare genetic markers of drug-resistant tuberculosis
Researchers at San Diego State University have identified rare genetic markers in M. tuberculosis that could improve early detection of drug-resistant strains of the disease, helping prevent their spread.

To many, tuberculosis (TB) may seem like a disease from a bygone era. But it still claims more than one million lives every year. And the problem is growing worse as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen that causes TB, continues to evolve resistance to the antibiotics used to treat the disease.
Now, researchers at San Diego State University have identified rare genetic markers in M. tuberculosis that could improve early detection of drug-resistant strains of the disease, helping prevent their spread.
Searching for elusive variants
To test whether someone has a strain of TB that will no longer respond to standard treatment, clinicians culture samples of mucus from the respiratory tract and barrage them with antibiotics.
"But because TB grows so slowly, that takes weeks," said San Diego State University professor of public health Faramarz Valafar. "In those weeks that patient is going around spreading TB that might be antibiotic-resistant."
He says molecular diagnostic tools are much faster. These test for common genetic markers of drug -resistance and allow for more timely treatment. But TB strains with rare mechanisms of resistance still elude molecular detection.
"They don't have the common genetic markers, but they are resistant," said Valafar. This leads clinicians to incorrectly conclude that standard TB drugs will kill the bacteria. "And so the patient is given the wrong medications and continues to infect others for weeks — sometimes months — before they realize that these drugs aren't working. So we really want to prevent that."
Derek Conkle-Gutierrez, a doctoral student in Valafar's lab, led the search for rare genetic mutations associated with resistance. The researchers obtained samples of M. tuberculosis from seven different countries where antibiotic resistance is common. Culturing the samples revealed that some were indeed drug-resistant, even though molecular diagnostics had failed to catch them.
"First we confirmed that they didn't have the known markers and then we started looking for what other mutations are showing up exclusively in these unexplained resistant isolates," said Conkle-Gutierrez.
The researchers identified one set of rare genetic mutations that may help block the common TB drug kanamycin from interfering with the pathogen's ability to synthesize the proteins it needs, rendering it harmless to the pathogen. Another set of mutations may do the same for the TB drug capreomycin.
The study is published in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
"This manuscript identifies potential markers; confirmatory work for the selection of markers for the next generation of more comprehensive molecular diagnostic platforms lies ahead," said Valafar.
He says given the evolution of antibiotic resistance, molecular diagnostics will need to be updated frequently and be tailored to different regions of the world where antibiotic resistance in TB is common. Conkle-Gutierrez agrees.
"The practice of going in and really looking for these unexplained cases, bringing them in, sequencing them, is a large, expensive project, but it needs to be done in order to find these rare cases so that they don't slip through the cracks and spread, causing more antibiotic resistance that just goes undetected."
As researchers learned during the 20th century, the widespread use of lifesaving antibiotics may have transformed medicine, but bacterial pathogens, like M. tuberculosis, quickly evolved resistance to them. That's because the strains of bacteria that survive the onslaught of these powerful drugs harbor mutations that allow them to persist and multiply in number. This is exacerbated by the use of antibiotics in livestock and for non-bacterial infections in humans, such as those caused by viruses.
Tuberculosis is close to home
It's estimated that about a quarter of the world's population is infected with TB, which has two phases: latent and active. Most people stay in the latent phase because the body's immune system keeps the bacterial load in check. They remain symptom-free and are not contagious. About 10% of those infections convert into active TB. Patients then experience symptoms and can spread the disease to others.
"It is a very important public health concern for the United States as well," said Valafar, who says many people in this country have latent TB. "The fear is that other pulmonary infections like COVID could overwhelm the immune system and trigger TB to go into its active phase. If this happens, TB will become a bigger problem in the Western world as well. We have already seen this in HIV co-infections. Even though HIV is not a pulmonary disease, because it weakens the immune system, it leads to activation of TB. Most patients who have HIV die from TB and not HIV."
Ultimately, an effective vaccine for TB is sorely needed. Until then, improving molecular diagnostics for the detection of antibiotic resistance is important for controlling morbidity. To this end, Valafar's lab has recently received a grant to directly sequence drug-resistant TB from infected lung tissue.
"And that will really break through some barriers that the tuberculosis research community has been facing," he said.

This SeaBear smoked wild salmon is fully cooked and ready-to-serve. Simply place the salmon on a serving plate (we recommend pouring the natural oils in the pouch back over the salmon), and offer with whatever condiments you like - crackers or crostini, cream cheese, chopped red onion, sliced cheese, sliced apple (or other fruits), and sliced vegetables. Or, try adding smoked wild salmon to pasta, a salad, baked potato, stir-fry or omelet.
In a bowl, toss asparagus, peppers, onion with liberal amounts of olive oil, sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Grill all over high heat until charred and juicy. After grilling, slice peppers, mushroom and onions into strips.
Coat fish with olive oil; top with sea salt, cracked black pepper and paprika. Grill over medium heat. Once grilled, break into chunks.
Lay down a bed of spring mix on a platter Arrange the strips of grilled vegetables around the entire platter in an alternating pattern. Top with the chunks of seafood, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and Parmesan. Place avocado pieces around the edges of the platter.
Serves 2. Place on individual plates and slice the vegetables and toss. If desired, you can sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar on the salad, though no dressing is necessary, as the juices from the grilled vegetables moisten the salad.
Designed by a local artist specifically for SeaBear, this wooden gift box evokes the spirit of the Northwest and celebrates the wild salmon's role in Native culture.
Includes 4 oz Wild Sockeye Smoked Salmon - distinctive in its rich red color, robust flavor, and succulent tender flakes, our traditional alder smoked Sockeye offers the quintessential Northwest smoked wild salmon experience. And, since it's packed in our famous Gold Seal pouch, no refrigeration is necessary until opened.

When a group of high school friends were drawn together by a shared interest in music, The Cactus Channel would quickly come to be; especially when an all-new and much more desirable way to spend lunch time was discovered.
"It was purely year ten logic that has stuck – and it's too late to change now," he laughs.
Previously a purely instrumental collective, The Cactus Channel have recently come off the back of recording their anticipated EP, Do It for Nothing, which featured collaboration with Ball Park Music front man, Sam Cromack.
Do It for Nothing was the first recorded work released by the nonet since 2013. With a production process of roughly one year, the EP – recorded by HopeStreet Recordings – has come as the first sign of more time to be spent in cactus country, with an upcoming string of shows set for the band, as well as word of a full album release.
The Cactus Channel will also be making an appearance at the upcoming Kyneton Music Festival amidst all this.

In The News This Week: Red Bull's PR stunt makes history
August 27, 2021 BlogInsideOutPr
It's no secret that Red Bull has largely built its reputation on outrageous and impressive marketing and PR stunts. Almost a decade ago in 2012, skydiver Felix Baumgartner jumped from the edge of space breaking the sound barrier and two world records. This week however, Red Bull's most recent stunt in Ukraine has left people asking – have they gone too far?
Earlier in the week, two Red Bull-branded cars executed a synchronized drifting stunt at a UN World Heritage Site in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, without the permission of the local authorities – a BIG no no to anyone who works in PR. Not only did the stunt proceed despite lack of approvals, in the process the vehicles created 2,000sqm of damage, leaving black tyre treads all over the iconic Saint Sophia Cathedral. Locals are obviously outraged at the disrespect the brand showed for not only the city of Kiev, but the church too.
Red Bull has since spoken out on the incident, saying "We deeply regret this oversight on our part. It was always our intention to clean the site so that we would leave it as we found it". However, the backlash was quick to amount and the apology has been overshadowed.
Local authorities claimed the stunt could have ended in tragedy, given it was completed in the early morning while commuters were on their way to work. The police reportedly brought an abrupt halt to the stunt, and later towed and impounded the cars, an ironic end to an otherwise creative stunt –had the proper processes been followed. The over sight has since cost Red Bull a reported $2k for site cleaning and fines.
Coming from the perspective of a PR agency, we can't believe such a huge oversight occurred in a major corporation. While the brand is renowned for pushing the envelope and testing the boundaries, surely the negative sentiment from a whole nation (if not wider) is not worth the small about of brand awareness they have achieved? With the church such an influential institute worldwide, perhaps a CHURCH and a UN WORLD HERITAGE SITE was the worst possible choice for a marketing stunt?

In Website Updates
By Wendy February 28, 2017
Did you miss us? We have been away from the internet for nearly three months, busy transforming our fan forums into a news fansite. We hope you like it! It may take getting used to, but there are a few very good reasons behind this major shift in website strategy.
If you're interested in learning more about Chocolyn, please continue reading this blog. We love engaged readers!
Firstly, the Asian music industry is getting busier and busier. New artists are debuting every day in Asia. We cannot keep up. And if we can't keep up, Zhang Liyin's career certainly can't keep up. The success of Chocolyn has always aligned closely with Liyin's own career success. Our goal is to be front-of-mind whenever a casual K-Pop (or C-Pop!) fan thinks of Zhang Liyin. We want to be the #1 source for everything Zhang Liyin on the entire World Wide Web.
We have noticed that the internet has grown a lot in the past few years. While Liyin has vanished from the public eye, we as netizens have done our part in transformation how information is circulated among fans. Chocolyn can no longer compete with open fan communities where information is passed so quickly between fans – whether that's Twitter, Tumblr, or even Facebook – we just cannot compete. If we want Zhang Liyin to succeed, the strategy in how her name is spread across the internet must change, and the platform where we share this information must also change.
Secondly, there is a (reliable) rumour that Zhang Liyin's contract with SM Entertainment ends in 2017. Yes, after 11 long years, Liyin will finally be able to break free from her contract. Or so the rumour goes. We don't know if the rumour is 100% true, but from what Liyin has hinted at in her two live video streams so far, a return to China is definitely in the works.
This rumour brings us back to our first point. Information is circulated among fans incredibly fast in the K-Pop world. But what about the Chinese music industry? Aside from former EXO members, the international awareness for Chinese pop artists just isn't there yet. We are hoping to change that. Will it work? Maybe, maybe not, but we're going to try anyways. Hopefully having an open fan community will help.
Thirdly and lastly, I personally have always been incredibly inspired by the work done by my friend Lindsey over at Rachel McAdams Online and Matthias Schoenaerts Network. She has done an amazing job in managing those fansites, building them into such valuable resources for fans around the world. In my view, Chocolyn aspires to be a fansite as successful as RMO and Matthias Network.
So. Thank you for reading this far into this blog. Hopefully, with this change, we won't lose our followers – you – our fansite visitor and reader – and you will continue to leave your comments on Chocolyn. A big portion of our current website content would not be possible if it wasn't for you, our contributors.
Just like how the old Chocolyn was an online message for all sorts of fans to make posts and contribute to the topic, we are hoping for the same here.
And if you are looking to become a more regular contributor to Chocolyn, drop us a line! Let's talk.
To the rest of you, see you guys in the comments!
Author Wendy
Wendy has been a fan of Zhang Liyin since 2007, when she was introduced to "Timeless" by a friend. Since then, she has led and organized activities for Zhang Liyin fans all over the world.

BBC pundit urges Reading FC to give Gomes time to turn results around
Former Royals midfielder and manager Mick Gooding has been having his say after the defeat at Middlesbrough
Jonathan LowReading FC reporter
BBC pundit Mick Gooding says Reading manager Jose Gomes must be given time to turns his side's form around.
Royals' stuttering start to the season continued over the weekend with a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough - the fourth defeat in seven Championship matches.
It leaves Gomes' side 17th in the league table - only two points above the relegation zone and six off a top-six place.
The manager's record since arriving in Berkshire has seen him win only eight of his 30 matches, but former Royals manager and midfielder Gooding believes although Gomes is under pressure , he should not be worried about his job just yet.
"It's very rare for owners and fans to have patience in football," said Gooding on BBC Radio Berkshire .
"They are building a new team and you have to give the manager time.
"If in another 10 or 15 games the results are going the same way as the past two results [two defeats] then the manager probably won't be here.
"He got shot of a lot of players at the end of last season and he has brought in lots of new players and sometimes it does take time.
"You have to give the manager time.
"The manager will know he's under pressure. He's spent a lot of money but give him a chance to knit the team together to get the results we all hope they start getting.
Gomes playing a risky game as Reading FC's stuttering start continues
"People can do anything with stats. They were in a relegation fight last year when he took over and he did what he needed to do in terms of keeping them in the Championship.
"A lot of money has been spent this summer and I'm hoping they are a team in the making.
"They've had a blip but it's worried me a little because Middlesbrough were there for the taking."
Reading's loss at the Riverside came as Gomes opted to start the game with first-choice strikers George Puscas and Lucas Joao on the bench .
Instead, he chose Yakou Meite and Lucas Boye to lead the line but neither were able to make any real impact on the game.
Puscas and Joao both came on for the final 25 minutes but could not affect the end result and Gooding said it was mistake by Gomes not to start the pair.

"For me you play your best side," said Gooding. "Some might have been tired because they travelled here, there and everywhere over the international break.
"But you could start them and then take them off. I'm not knocking Meite or Boye but the two main strikers are Puscas and Joao so for me, you play them.
"It's easy to say that after the result but it's common sense you start with your best two.
"If they are tired and not performing then you can make changes, but always start them."
Reading have now suffered back-to-back defeats in the Championship for the second time this season.
Saturday's loss followed the 2-0 reverse at home to Charlton Athletic just before the international break.
In both matches Royals were below par and were made to pay for some poor finishing in front of goal.

Gomes' verdict
As it happened
It's a huge change from a month ago when Gomes' side went on a five-game unbeaten run and produced some strong displays, especially in the wins over Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town.
However, that now seems a long time ago and Gooding says the team must go back to basics to turn their form around.
"It was a poor performance by Reading on Saturday," he said. "Middlesbrough were poor too but Reading weren't able to beat them.
"I thought they were on the up a few weeks ago. They looked as if they were all enjoying playing for each other and I thought it was a team which could do something in terms of getting into the top 10 and possibly look at getting into the play-offs.
"Charlton were very good a couple of weeks ago and although Middlesbrough weren't very good on Saturday, unfortunately they were good enough to beat Reading.
"I'm sure Gomes will be frustrated with this team but I can't say they deserved to win the game.
"A point might have been fair but at the end of the day Middlesbrough scored and Reading didn't so it's back to the drawing board."

'Game of Thrones' Soars in Its Season 8 Premiere (RECAP)
Emily Hannemann April 14, 2019 10:40 pm
Spoiler Alert Helen Sloan/HBO
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Game of Thrones Season 8 Premiere, "Winterfell."]
Game of Thrones wastes no time in getting things moving — or rather, flying — in the Season 8 premiere.
It's an hour filled with reunions fans had been waiting, in some cases, seasons to see. Arya and Jon! Arya and Gendry! Sansa and Tyrion! And yet, despite all the happiness that comes with seeing family and friends again, it's clear the danger has never been more imminent... and some aren't taking too kindly to Jon's decision to bend the knee.
The episode opens with Daenerys, Jon and the rest of their army marching toward Winterfell. "I warned you," Jon tells Daenerys as they approach, earning nothing but frowns from the spectators, "Northerners don't much trust outsiders." The crowd scatters when they see Daenerys' dragons, but Arya looks on in awe — and inside the walls of Winterfell, so does Sansa.
Once Jon gets inside, he's happily reunited with Bran... who, still devoid of emotion, isn't so visibly overjoyed to see him. Daenerys and Sansa have a frosty introduction, but Bran thaws things out by saying they don't have time for "all of that," because the dead are marching south.
Reunions Aplenty
Later the heads of houses meet, and Lyanna Mormont roasts Jon for all he's worth. She's none too pleased that he bent the knee to Daenerys. Jon reminds her that they needed allies or they would die, and he chose the North over keeping his crown. At that, Tyrion chimes in. "If anyone survives the wars to come, we'll have Jon Snow to thank," he says. Tyrion tells everyone they must fight together or die, but Sansa thinks they might die anyway, of starvation. "What do dragons eat, anyway?" she asks. "Whatever they want," Daenerys responds.
Here's Us Trying to Find the 'Game of Thrones' Ending in That Spotify Playlist
Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss say the playlist contains a massive spoiler about the series ending.
Tyrion talks to Sansa. They reflect on their pasts — the last time they spoke was at Joffrey's wedding — and discuss the future. Sansa has already guessed what we know: The Lannister army isn't coming North, and Tyrion shouldn't have believed Cersei. "I used to think you were the cleverest man alive," she tells him. Ouch.
Jon and Arya share a sweet reunion, complete with a hug. He asks her if she's ever used Needle, to which she responds, "once or twice." (It's been more than once or twice, Jon.) They also talk about Sansa, and Arya tells Jon she's the smartest person she's ever met — despite her dislike for Daenerys, which is a thorn in Jon's side. It seems trouble might be brewing amongst the Starks over the Dragon Queen's arrival.
No Elephants?!?
In King's Landing, Qyburn tells Cersei the dead have broken through the wall. "Good," she says, smirking. In the distance, Euron and the Golden Company sail toward the harbor with Yara as his prisoner. He and Harry Strickland, the leader of the Golden Company, meet with Cersei in the throne room. She's not happy to hear there are no elephants (a casualty of HBO's budget, no doubt).
When Strickland is dismissed, Euron remains and tries to seduce Cersei. It doesn't work... at first. "You want a whore, buy one," Cersei tells him. "You want a queen, earn her." She walks away but turns to look back at him, and he follows her. They end up sleeping together, but after, Cersei tells him she wants to be alone. After promising to get her pregnant, he leaves.
'Game of Thrones' Cast & EPs Preview the Battle of Winterfell and the 'Biggest Season by Far'
Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke and more give us a behind-the-scenes look at the final season, episodes they're calling 'intense,' 'beautiful,' and epic.
Meanwhile, Qyburn goes to see Bronn. He offers him gold, from Cersei, to kill Jaime and Tyrion with a crossbow — the same way Tyrion killed their father. Bronn takes the crossbow, but he doesn't look too happy about it. During this time, Theon boards one of the ships, kills the men aboard and rescues Yara. They sail away, but Theon wants to go North and fight for the Starks while Yara wants to go retake their home. She allows him to do so, and they part with an embrace.
Riding Rhaegal
Daenerys and Jon talk, and Dany tells Jon she's noticed Sansa doesn't like her. Jon tries to put her mind at ease, but Dany's determined to at least earn Sansa's respect. They're interrupted by a few Dothraki, who tell Dany her dragons have barely been eating. They go visit Drogon and Rhaegal, and she encourages Jon to ride Rhaegal. There are logistics to figure out — "What do I hold onto?" a bewildered Jon asks — but before long, they're soaring through the skies together. When they dismount, they share a passionate kiss.
At Winterfell, Arya reunites with the Hound and Gendry. Predictably, there are no hugs between her and the Hound, but they at least seem to have a mutual respect. With Gendry, things go smoother. Arya has a weapon she needs him to make, and while they discuss the logistics and necessity of crafting it, they also tease each other.
Sansa and Jon argue about Dany, and Jon "abandoning his crown." Sansa's upset because House Glover won't stand with them, but Jon insists that without Daenerys, they won't stand a chance against the undead. Sansa's skeptical, and irritated. "Did you bend the knee to save the North, or because you love her?" she asks.
The Revelation That Was Promised
Daenerys finds Sam in the library, where they get along well until she learns he's a Tarly. He's upset enough to learn Daenerys executed his father, but he barely maintains his composure when she tells him Dickon stood with his father and was killed, too. Distraught, he leaves the library and goes to talk to Bran. "It's time to tell Jon the truth," Bran tells him, so Sam visits his friend in the crypts.
Their meeting doesn't go quite as well as it could've, given Jon's allegiance to the woman who killed his family, and it leads to Sam's revelation. "You've never been a bastard," Sam tells him. "You are Aegon Targaryen, true heir to the Iron Throne." Sam encourages him to rise up against Daenerys and claim his birthright, implying that while Jon abandoned his crown for his people, she wouldn't do the same.

From the biggest blindside to the scariest threat and everything in-between.
In the ruins of Last Hearth, Tormund and Beric meet Dolorous Edd. The Night King has butchered the Umber Boy and surrounded him with human limbs, forming a symbol. The group makes plans to head for Winterfell, though the army of the dead is now between them and safety. As they talk, the child reanimates and Beric sets fire to him with his sword, illuminating the symbol.
A New Arrival
As the episode ends, Jaime arrives in the North. He gets off his horse and looks around Winterfell, pausing when he sees Bran. Though Jaime seems spooked and perhaps ashamed at the sight of the youngest Stark — and he would, given their unpleasant history — Bran regards him with his usual, Three-Eyed-Raven peaceful stare.
Other Observations
Is Cersei pregnant? I'd thought that plot thread would be addressed this episode, given the whole prophecy that says she would only have three children, and since she was drinking again... did she miscarry offscreen? What was the point of her purposely not drinking in the Season 7 finale if she's going to be drinking now?
Barely any Brienne this episode, which is a bummer. But it seems likely that she might have more to do next episode now that Jaime's officially arrived.
It's Time for 'Game of Thrones' Fans to Stop Vilifying Sansa Stark
Some fans adore her, but many seem to hate her with a fiery passion. Here's why we think Sansa's actions are justified.
Kudos to John Bradley for his fantastic acting this episode. Given that I wasn't a fan of Randall Tarly or Dickon, it would take a lot for me to feel anything about their deaths — but it broke my heart to see Sam's heart broken. And he played Sam's anger, and the anger leading to the reveal of Jon's true parentage, perfectly.
That scene with the reanimated Umber boy might be one of the scariest scenes I've seen from Thrones so far. Yep, that one will show up in my nightmares.

Bartolomeo Colleoni byl italský lehký křižník třídy Di Giussano, tedy první skupiny třídy Condottieri, který sloužil v italské Regia Marina před a během druhé světové války. Byl potopen v bitvě u mysu Spatha.

Byl pojmenován po italském vojevůdci z 15. století Bartolomeu Colleonim.

Stavba
Colleoni byl spuštěn na vodu 21. prosince 1930 a do služby vstoupil 10. února 1932.

Operační služba
Bartolomeo Colleoni sloužil ve Středomoří do listopadu 1938, kdy odplul vystřídat křižník Raimondo Montecuccoli, který hájil italské zájmy na Dálném východě. Připlul do Šanghaje 23. prosince 1938 a zůstal zde do propuknutí druhé světové války. 1. října 1939 předal velení na Dálném východě šalupě Lepanto a vydal se na cestu domů, kam připlul 28. října 1939.

Colleoni byl, společně s lehkým křižníkem Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, zařazen do stavu 2. squadrony 2. křižníkové divize. Jeho první bojovou operací za druhé světové války bylo 10. června 1940 kladení min v Sicilském průlivu. V červenci pak doprovázel konvoje mezi Neapolí a Tripolisem.

Navečer 17. července vyplul z Tripolisu pod velením kontradmirála Casardiho společně s lehkým křižníkem Giovanni dalle Bande Nere. Jejich cílem byl ostrov Leros v Dodekanésu. Zde chtěla Regia Marina vytvořit svaz křižníků a torpédoborců, který by napadal britskou dopravu v Egejském moři. Ráno 19. července narazily na spojenecky svaz v čele s australským lehkým křižníkem HMAS Sydney. V následující bitvě u mysu Spatha byl Colleoni nejprve zasažen do strojovny a kotelny, což způsobilo zastavení lodě a potom potopen torpédy z torpédoborců HMS Hyperion a HMS Ilex. Na palubě křižníku zahynulo 121 námořníků.

'Deepwater Sedimentary Systems': Science, Discovery and Applications
Why deepwater? In addition to expanding our knowledge on sedimentary systems that cover 70 percent of our planet, deepwater systems host promising resources and energy potential for the future. Their characteristic high-rate productivity also means fewer wells, which is good news for lower carbon emissions. Deepwater systems also benefit from the highest quality offshore 3-D and 4-D seismic. Thus, we see more clearly with ever-improving technology. Deepwater concepts and paradigms are rapidly evolving. The 2022 book "Deepwater Sedimentary Systems" sets a firm and comprehensive foundation.

Exploring for Signs of Life in the Outer Solar System
Human exploration of the Earth and our universe is pushing ever-expanding boundaries. Along with renewed exploration of the moon and ongoing exploration of Mars, we have also probed the outer reaches of the solar system, and beyond. Beginning in 1972, NASA has executed many successful missions to the outer solar system that have exponentially increased our knowledge of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and their myriad of intriguing moons, such as Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Cassini, New Horizons and Juno. These missions have also kindled questions that we did not even know to ask a few decades ago.

Choice of Attributes for Unsupervised Seismic Facies Classification
With the increasing size of the seismic data volumes, machine learning applications have been found to accelerate the discrimination of seismic facies used in the identification of geologic patterns, defining stratigraphy and the direct indication of hydrocarbons. Many practitioners have demonstrated the application of dimensionality reduction tools such as principal component analysis and independent component analysis, or clustering techniques. Some of these are available in several commercial interpretation software packages.

Geophysics Has Proven Key in Giant Stratigraphic Fields Discoveries
In the world of oil and gas, an increasing number of plays in stratigraphic traps are being made – in large part due to ever-evolving seismic technology. The Discovery Thinking forum at the annual IMAGE conference in August served to highlight some of these plays in offshore frontier basins and the role that geophysics played in their discovery. "We are seeing more giant stratigraphic fields, and seismic is the key," said past AAPG President Charles A. Sternbach, chair of the Discovery Thinking forum. "And, we are seeing more oil found at greater depths. Unconventional plays are migrating outside of the Western Hemisphere."

Utah's Rich Oil and Gas Exploration History
People often associate Utah with spectacular canyons cut into the Colorado Plateau, the state's five national parks, incredible skiing in the beautiful mountains, the opportunity to wade around in the briny water of Great Salt Lake or hearing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing the "Hallelujah Chorus." Visitors to the state, as well as most of its citizens, don't think of Utah as a major producer of oil and gas. However, Utah has consistently ranked among the highest oil and gas producers in the United States.

Characterizing a Deepwater Turbidite Channel in Taranaki Basin
Deepwater turbidite reservoirs hold some of the largest petroleum reservoirs and thus are important exploration targets. By identifying and mapping the diverse architectural elements of the turbidite system and placing them within the correct geologic framework, a skilled interpreter can predict which components of the system are more likely sand or shale prone. Seismic data and seismic attributes also provide insight into the connectivity or compartmentalization of different parts of the reservoir which can be used to estimate the number of wells needed to drain the reservoir.

Franklin Mountains Field Trip Offers Clues to Unlocking Oil and Mineral Resources of West Texas
Many geologists have earned their field trip stripes in the Guadalupe Mountains in West Texas, but fewer have heard – and braved the dangers – of hiking the mysterious and mineral-rich Franklin Mountains north of El Paso. The Franklin Mountain region is a west-tilting series of horst blocks that became 5,000-7,200-foot tall mountains as a result of the Laramide orogeny. The sheer eastern escarpment exposes rocks dating from the Pennsylvanian down to 1.25-billion-year-old basement granite. It was a "field trip through time" focused on the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian formations, representing more than 100 million years of geologic history.

Please bring clothing for hot day time temperatures (sun hat/ sun glasses/ sun cream etc.). Participants must wear suitable and comfortable light trekking shoes. Aims To gain or increase an understanding of the tectono-sedimentary processes of continental extension and rifting supported by outcrop observations, with focus on deep-depositional marine systems. Discuss implications for prospective petroleum systems. Promote debate and nourish new insights between attendants. About the Field Trip The Lusitanian Basin records the proximal events of syn- to post rift evolution of the hyper-extended West Iberian Margin, showing some outstanding examples of the combined tectono-stratigraphic depositional systems. Here, the Late Jurassic reveals diverse aspects of mixed marine depositional systems including not only submarine fans and turbidites, but also the build-up of carbonate reefs and shoreface to fluvial clastic sequences. Throughout the field trip the different depositional aspects can be observed in detail to demonstrate how such depositional systems can vary in time and space. Observation of these outcrops allows a better understanding on how deep-water depositional systems can change within a sub-basin and help improving the understanding of reservoir properties.

Deliberate Search for the Contourite Play: The New 21st Century Deepwater Exploration Target
Contourites have come of age – both scientifically and economically. These deepwater sedimentary systems, driven by long-slope bottom-current processes, are a fundamental component of many continental margin successions. They are inter-bedded with and interact with down-slope systems, pelagic systems, and deep tidal processes. The contourite play clearly works – now we need to make it a primary target in future deepwater exploration.

DL Abstract By Tao Sun
Integrated Reservoir Characterization and Modeling with Computational Stratigraphy
As oil and gas exploration and production occur in deeper basins and more complex geologic settings, accurate characterization and modeling of reservoirs to improve estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) prediction, optimize well placement and maximize recovery become paramount. Existing technologies for reservoir characterization and modeling have proven inadequate for delivering detailed 3D predictions of reservoir architecture, connectivity and rock quality at scales that impact subsurface flow patterns and reservoir performance. Because of the gap between the geophysical and geologic data available (seismic, well logs, cores) and the data needed to model rock heterogeneities at the reservoir scale, constraints from external analog systems are needed. Existing stratigraphic concepts and deposition models are mostly empirical and seldom provide quantitative constraints on fine-scale reservoir heterogeneity. Current reservoir modeling tools are challenged to accurately replicate complex, nonstationary, rock heterogeneity patterns that control connectivity, such as shale layers that serve as flow baffles and barriers.

VG Abstract By Keith Gerdes
Tethyan Carbonates - Linking Tropical Seas and Crashing Plates to Some of the Largest Oil and Gas Fields in the World
The carbonate sequences that were deposited in the now exhumed Tethyan Ocean influence many aspects of our lives today, either by supplying the energy that warms our homes and the fuel that powers our cars or providing the stunning landscapes for both winter and summer vacations. They also represent some of the most intensely studied rock formations in the world and have provided geoscientists with a fascinating insight into the turbulent nature of 250 Million years of Earth's history. By combining studies from the full range of geoscience disciplines this presentation will trace the development of these carbonate sequences from their initial formation on the margins of large ancient continental masses to their present day locations in and around the Greater Mediterranean and Near East region. The first order control on growth patterns and carbonate platform development by the regional plate-tectonic setting, underlying basin architecture and fluctuations in sea level will be illustrated. The organisms that contribute to sequence development will be revealed to be treasure troves of forensic information. Finally, these rock sequences will be shown to contain all the ingredients necessary to form and retain hydrocarbons and the manner in which major post-depositional tectonic events led to the formation of some of the largest hydrocarbon accumulations in the world will be demonstrated.

I met a couple last year, I met them separate of one another. I heard from mutual friends, of Robin's son Jake, Jake died in a terrible skiing accident. He was so young, working on his Eagle Scout projects with his whole life ahead of him. And then, while doing what he is said to have loved best, he hits an object on the slope and was gone in an instant. Then I met Rich through another channel and we began talking and he tells me the same story. Wow, this was strange and it was so identical a story it had to be the same young man from the same loving family. And it was! Devastating, and permanent, shocking and non-reversible, sad and sudden. Nothing could change it or be done to fix the outcome. How do we go on and make things whole again. You can't really, but what you can do is do things to make sense of it and maybe a significant thing to honor the memory and life of the person you had taken from you!
This is what my friends, Robin and Rich have done! This is the second year of an event called JAKESTOCK, which celebrates the life of their son Jake and the things he loved to do and the people he loved. This is the second year of JAKESTOCK! I know I said it was the second year of event twice, the point is to keep doing good in Jake's name! JAKESTOCK is a fundraiser to benefit the Jake R. Revere Memorial Scholarship Fund and Jake R. Revere Foundation! All the information you need to know to attend is below. It will be a great day, and we all hope to see you there at this celebration of life!
Food and merchandise will be available for sale throughout the entire day….while supplies last!!
• There is a playground for kids of all ages and we will have games for the children to enjoy, too!
• A lovely walking and bike path surrounds the entire park.
• A Pavilion is centrally located with bathroom facilities.
LIVE MUSIC BY LOCAL BANDS WILL ENTERTAIN THE ENTIRE DAY!!
To Live In The Hearts We Leave Behind Is Not To Die….
How do i enter my band in Jakestock?

Q: Xsl: how to find out if a node or his descendant contain text i'm having some difficulties to find out if a node or contains text.
Consider the followinw examples of xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<doc xml:lang="it">
    <articolo>
        <titolazione id="U20690661166yt" contentType="headline">
            <occhiello class="occhiello">

                    L'ALTRO COLPO PER L'ATTACCO

            </occhiello>
            <titolo class="titolo">

Il gran giorno

di Llorente:

arriva a Torino

e fa le visite

            </titolo>
            <sommario class="catenaccio">
                <?EM-dummyText [sommario]?>
            </sommario>
        </titolazione>
    </articolo>

As you can see i have 3 nodes under "Titolazione": occhiello, titolo and sommario. I need to create a tempate that is able to understand if inside these 3 nodes there is text or not (at any level) and according to that add also the class "no-text", so i can style it differently.
Here is an example made for occhiello:
<xsl:template name="occhiello">
        <xsl:if test="/doc/articolo/titolazione/occhiello">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="string-length(normalize-space(/doc/articolo/titolazione/occhiello/*/text())) = 0">

                        <xsl:apply-templates select="/doc/articolo/titolazione/occhiello/*" />

                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>

                        <xsl:apply-templates select="/doc/articolo/titolazione/occhiello/*" />

                </xsl:otherwise>

            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>

Templates for "titolo" and "sommario" are the same, just the xpath is changing.
Now i noticed that this template get close to what i need but still mistaking some times. If you look at the example is recognizing that "titolo" has text, is recognizing that "sommario" has no text but for some reason is making a mistake with "titolazione". It's adding the "no-text" class even if there is text. I think maybe cause is not contained in the  tag but in a nested tag (i could have even more nested levels).
Any idea how to correct it?
Thanks All.

A: How about the following:
<xsl:template match="occhiello | titolo | sommario">

     <xsl:apply-templates select="*" />

</xsl:template>

A: One useful way of checking for text at any subsequent level is to use value-of, as that, if run on a node that contains sub-nodes, will return you a concatenation of the text of those nodes.
XML
<foo>
    <bar>cat</bar>
    <bar2>fish</bar2>
</foo>

XSL
<xsl:value-of select='foo' />

== "catfish"
Not being certain of the output you're trying to achieve, I came up with this (working demo at this XMLPlayground):
<xsl:template match="doc/articolo">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='titolazione | occhiello | titolo | sommario'>
    <xsl:variable name='text'><xsl:value-of select='normalize-space(.)' /></xsl:variable>

        <xsl:if test='not(string-length($text))'><xsl:attribute name='class'>no-text</xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
        <xsl:value-of select='name()' /> (has <xsl:if test='not(string-length($text))'>no </xsl:if> text)

    <xsl:if test='name() = "titolazione"'><xsl:apply-templates /></xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Teenagers are Apparently Boiling Tampons and Pads To Get "High"
Silke Jasso, December 31, 2020 3:21 pm
A Florida man… sort of got what he paid for, if we're being honest. The man paid a mere one thousand dollars to a disgraced and unlicensed doctor to perform surgery on his penis and, lo and behold, things went horribly wrong. (Who could have guessed?)
60-year-old Mark Schreiber was arrested last week on one count of unlicensed practice of health care causing serious injury after the penile surgery he performed on his 55-year-old patient was so, so predictably botched and left the patient with a deformed, one-inch penis.
The 55-year-old hairdresser now sporting a bloody nub told authorities his penis was "mutilated" after the surgery and that he could no longer have sex. The man also has no sensation during urination and suffers from painful and spontaneous erections.
According to the police report, the man initially woke up the morning after his surgery and found his penis covered in bloody bandages. Quite rightfully distressed, the man asked his sham doctor something along the lines of, "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!" The sham doctor, however, lied and said everything was fine. He told the patient/victim to simply change the bandages regularly and to wrap it up and keep it straight.
In case you started feeling a little bad for the man whose penis was destroyed, you probably shouldn't. This botched surgery performed by a disgraced, unlicensed sham doctor was only performed to correct a different botched surgery performed by a different unlicensed sham doctor, a 48-year-old man named Nery Carvajal Gonzalez. The latter sham doctor is still on the run and being hunted by authorities.
This hairdresser has been just stunningly irresponsible with his penis. By comparison, he makes 1970s rock stars look downright pragmatic with their penises. At this point, it would have been less insane if the man had just had sex with a running Nutribullet.
Please, sir, stop letting hobos perform surgery on your penis.

When Do CEOs Have Covenants Not to Compete in Their Employment Contracts?

When do American CEOs have covenants not to compete (CNCs) in their employment contracts? To answer this question, we collected a random sample of nearly 1000 CEO employment contracts for 500 companies randomly selected from the S&P 1500 for the time period 1996 to 2010. Our main findings are very revealing. First, our analysis shows that CEO's are less likely to have CNCs in their employment contracts if the contracts are being enforced in jurisdictions that do not permit strong CNC clauses. Thus, contracts that are likely to be enforced in California are much less likely to include non-compete clauses as its state courts will not enforce those provisions. Second, there is a significant trend toward greater usage of CNC clauses in CEO employment contracts over time. This suggests that employers are more aware than ever of the importance of using CNC clauses and confirms other scholars' assumptions that, at least in one context, these clauses are used increasingly by employers. Third, there is strong path dependence in the use of CNC clauses: if a company used one in a prior CEO employment contract, then it is much more likely to insist on one in a later contract. Next, longer term contracts are more likely to have CNC clauses than short term contracts. This is likely because the firm has more firm specific investment in CEOs that stay for longer periods. Finally, we find that more profitable firms are more likely to use noncompete provisions in their CEO's employment contract suggesting that for these firms the risk of harm from a departing CEO may simply be more acute than with other firms.

WTR Top 20, No. 15: Alex Bono is the future, but what about the present?
Clint Irwin's injury could have been disastrous for Toronto FC. Instead, it gave rise to a new hope.
By Allan Singh Jan 15, 2017, 10:19am EST
Share All sharing options for: WTR Top 20, No. 15: Alex Bono is the future, but what about the present?
It was June 25. On a routine goal kick, with the score tied 1-1, Clint Irwin felt a wrench in his right quadriceps. As he rolled around on the humid and sticky artificial turf of Camping World Stadium, Toronto FC fans inhaled. Up to that point, their goalie had been enjoying a solid season. The net was secure. Now, that security was writhing in agony. Irwin left the field under his own power, but fans knew that the news would not be good. To compound matters, in came Alex Bono.
Alex who? Never before had the TFC faithful seen this 22 year-old in a game situation. This was the first MLS appearance for the New York native. He took his place between the posts. His twitchy movements and facial expressions betrayed his nervousness. Then it happened - a moment of indecision, and a clumsy attempt to stop the ball. A wide open net. Another deep inhale for the faithful. Orlando made no mistake, and the score was 2 -1.
The WTR Top 20: Assessing Toronto FC's players in 2016
What was Bono thinking? Why would he make such a mistake? How could he have made such a mistake? You wouldn't expect a blunder like this from a high-school match. Oh well… no bother… Irwin would be back soon enough, right?
Then the news came: Irwin was going to be out at least six weeks. A furtive glance at the schedule revealed eight MLS matches and the Canadian Championship. Roughly a quarter of the season gone. Surely TFC would sign (or trade for) another starting goalkeeper. The young, indecisive, inexperienced Bono could not be trusted to marshal the back line. Mistakes like that, throughout the summer, would destroy any hope of a decent season, let alone a playoff spot. But Greg Vanney and Tim Bezbatchenko stuck with their rookie. So, too, did the team. No one in the dressing room blamed Alex for that Mickey Mouse goal in Orlando.
Four days later, Bono planted his 6' 3'' frame in net for the Canadian Championship decider against Vancouver. He made a fantastic diving save late in the first half to keep the game tied 0-0. TFC clinched the title on Will Johnson's famous leg-shattering goal. Bono looked better.
Two games later, on July 9, the Chicago Fire fell 1-0 at BMO Field and Bono had his first career shutout. His confidence rose steadily from that point onward. The loyal fanbase came around. His name was chanted by the south end, he was sought out for pre-game and post-game interviews by the TFC and opposition media alike. He was no longer just a stand-in.
Bono went on to play half the 2016 season for the Reds. His stats were amazing. Not amazing for a rookie, but amazing period. The chart below compares his performance to some of the top keepers in the league. Why he wasn't a finalist for Rookie of the Year, I'll never know - perhaps for the same reasons that Sebastian Giovinco, Drew Moor and Vanney were left off the award shortlists (no, I'm not bitter).
How Bono compares
Shutouts per game
Goals-against average
Alex Bono Toronto FC 22 16 0.25 72.41 1.00 .500
Luis Robles New York Red Bulls 32 34 0.32 69.44 1.29 .471
Stefan Frei Seattle Sounders 30 33 0.24 68.94 1.24 .424
Tim Howard Colorado Rapids 37 17 0.41 73.97 1.12 .353
Clint Irwin Toronto FC 27 19 0.32 68.49 1.21 .316
Andre Blake Philadelphia Union 26 32 0.19 66.44 1.56 .313
Stats via mlssoccer.com.
As you can see, Bono led this illustrious group in goals-against average and win percentage. He is second in save percentage, with Tim Howard the only other goalkeeper above 70%. He is also the youngest player on the list by some margin and is therefore, arguably, the keeper with the greatest upside.
His play inspired such confidence in his teammates that there was no rush to put Irwin back in net, and the No.1 sat on the bench for several matches after being declared medically fit to play. The decision as to who to start in the playoffs was also a difficult one for Vanney and despite the Reds' MLS Cup final appearance, a case can be made that Vanney made the wrong call. Bono had earned the right to continue, and playoff experience would have been great for his development.
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports
When Irwin was lost to Atlanta United in the MLS Expansion Draft, albeit only for a few hours, the TFC fanbase was not as concerned as it might once have been. Their goal was still secure - a far cry from that fateful day in Orlando.
In Alex's own words, he certainly "took advantage of the opportunity". He is, without question, Toronto's Bono-fide keeper of the future. The only question is: Is that future now?

Q: Updating an inner element of object using Object.assign I need a little help with updating an inner element of an object using Object.assign in my redux reducer.
To better explain the scenario, I'm using NBA teams. I have an NBA object in my redux store. I'm now trying to update only the teamMembers for a particular team. My NBA object looks like this:
{
   teams: [
       {
          teamId: 123,
          teamName: "Los Angeles Lakers"
          teamMembers: [
             {id: "kbryant", fullName: "Kobe Bryant"},
             {id: "bingram", fullName: "Brandon Ingram"}
          ]
        },
        {
          teamId: 234,
          teamName: "Miami Heat"
          teamMembers: [
             {id: "cbosh", fullName: "Chris Bosh"},
             {id: "tjohnson", fullName: "Tyler Johnson"}
          ]
        }
   ]
}

I pass both teamId and members to the reducer through my action i.e. action.teamId and action.members.
This is what I have so far:
Object.assign({}, state, {
   nba: Object.assign({}, state.nba, {
      teams: Object.assign({}, state.nba.teams, {
         teamId[action.teamId] // I'm stuck here...
      })
   })
})

How do I update the teamMembers of a particular team? I know I'm almost there but could use a little help. Thanks.

A: You could extend the code you had with a dynamic index property, which is intended to identify which entry in the teams array needs updating. The ES6 syntax allows dynamic properties in object literals, by wrapping the dynamic expression in square brackets, like this: { [index]: value }, where index is a variable or other expression.
Here is the final solution:

function getNewState(state, action) {
    var index = state.nba.teams.findIndex( t => t.teamId == action.teamId );
    if (index == -1) return state; // team not found

Australia Post Tests Drone Delivery Options

A big change is coming to the way Australia Post, the national postal services, will be delivering packages. Drones may be flying around and bringing the boxes as early as next year. A test use of the drones will begin in early 2016, Australia Post CEO Ahmed Fahour said in an interview with Australian Financial Review.
As in the case of the Amazon Prime Air program, the drones will deliver packages of up to two kilograms to the local communities. GPS will be used to make sure packages are brought to the correct location. Each of the drones that Australia Post will utilize in the trial costs 10,000 dollars, Business Insider Australia reported.
The technology comes with a range of security features that will be used to ensure timely delivery. Backup motor engines will be available for optimal weight balancing. They will be needed in case the original installation fails.
The idea to deliver a package right on the client's doorstep has always been a goal ecommerce companies have pursued. Hiring enough deliverymen to cover all areas that the company makes deliveries to, however, happens to be a costly endeavor. With drones, fast, traffic-free and stable transportation of the packages is possible.
"We've been talking to a major customer, an e-tailer, who would like to particularly deliver to regional and rural communities," Fahour said during the interview.
He confirmed that smaller trials of the program are already underway but the new customer will make bigger trials possible in early 2016.
The postal services are predominantly focused on the safety of the packages and the recipient's overall control over the deliveries. All clients want to know what is happening with their packages. Fahour confirmed that the drone deliveries will be controlled via a shared service. Using cloud-based information, all recipients will keep track of the delivery at all times.
Australia Post is also considering the purchase of 3D printers in an attempt to give customers access to even more diversified services.
They could potentially be used to print out common items, preventing people from waiting for a delivery. Currently, Australia Post officials are looking into possibilities for bringing the idea to reality.
These are just some of the new technologies that Australia Post will add to the equipment that it already utilizes. In 2014, 500-million dollar parcel sorting machines were bought for the offices in Sydney and Melbourne. All of these transitions are happening in an attempt to boost the popularity of the postal service once again. Since people are increasingly becoming dependent on digital communication, Australia Post has been experiencing losses stemming from a decreased demand for postal services.
