CHEMICAL EXPOSURE/SPILLS
If toxic chemicals come into contact with your skin, immediately and continuously flush the affected area with clear water.
Remove contaminated clothing.
Call 911 immediately.
Move to a safer area.
If A CHEMICAL SPILL OCCURS
Inappropriate handling of hazardous materials may result in exposure to personnel and the environment. The actual degree of protection required will depend upon the agent, concentration, and risk of exposure to it from routine procedures and accidents.
If a spill occurs, immediately notify affected personnel and evacuate the spill area. Pull the building fire evacuation alarm if evacuation is required.
Key persons on-site should evacuate the affected area at once, and seal it off to prevent further contamination of others until the arrival of emergency personnel.
No effort to contain or clean up spills and / or releases should be made unless you are "Authorized and Qualified" to perform such work.
IF CHEMICAL EXPOSURE OCCURS
Many materials used in the workplace present a health hazard to humans.
Inappropriate handling of hazardous materials may result in exposure to personnel and the environment. The actual degree of protection required will depend upon the agent, concentration and risk of exposure to it from routine procedures and accidents.
For spills, releases or incidents requiring special training, procedures or personal protective equipment that are beyond the abilities of present personnel, take the following steps:
Immediately notify affected personnel and evacuate the spill area. Pull the building fire evacuation alarm if evacuation is required
Call 911 to report the incident to the CUPD Dispatch Center
Key persons on site should evacuate the affected area at once and seal it off to prevent further contamination of others until the arrival of emergency personnel.
Anyone who is contaminated by the spill should avoid contact with others as much as possible and remain in the vicinity
Washing off contamination and any required first aid should be started immediately
No effort to contain or clean up spills and/or releases should be made unless you are "Authorized and Qualified" to perform such work
If an evacuation alarm sounds, follow established building evacuation procedures
Do not re-enter the area until directed by emergency personnel
BOMB THREATS AND SUSPICIOUS PACKAGES
All suspicious packages and bomb threats must be treated as a serious matter.
Keep the caller on the line as long as possible.
Listen carefully. Note the time of call and telephone number displayed if you have Caller ID.
Ask the caller the following questions:
Where is the bomb?
When will it explode?
What does the bomb look like?
What kind of bomb is it?
What will cause it to explode?
Did you place the bomb?
Are you an employee?
Where are you calling from?
Write down any pertinent information such as background noises, gender of caller, and voice pitches and patterns.
MAIL OR PACKAGE THREAT
DO NOT HANDLE THE OBJECT.
CLEAR THE AREA.
Building evacuation is not a decision for anyone to make except for proper authorities.
Call 911 Immediately to notify the Campus Emergency Dispatch Center.
Any employee who had direct contact with package should wash their exposed skin with soap and water after reaching a place of safety.
Write down any pertinent information such as background noises, gender of caller and voice pitches and patterns.
Call 911 immediately to notify the CUPD Dispatch Center.
To ensure the safety of the campus population, all suspicious packages and bomb threats will be considered real until proven otherwise.
If a suspicious object or potential bomb is discovered, remain calm.
In most cases, these incidents are meant to disrupt normal activities.
Do not use cell phones, radios or other wireless devices.
A Shelter-in-Place warning may be issued for a variety of reasons ranging from Severe Weather, Hazardous Materials Exposure, Suspicious Intruder, Hostage Situation, or any situation when it is best to stay where you are to avoid any uncertainty outside. Everyone should understand the different threats and plan for all possibilities.
In general, employees cannot be forced to shelter, however there are circumstances when Clemson University officials will order that everyone stay put for their own safety and wellbeing. It is important to consider sheltering-in-place in advance to avoid confusion and allow for cooperation.
Local authorities may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do. However, everyone should be alert for instructions and updates as they become available through the University Emergency Communications System.
If class is in session do not let any students leave. If in dorms, have everyone remain in their room.
Keep everyone calm.
Stay away from windows, doors and outside walls.
Severe Weather: (SEE SEVERE WEATHER TAB) Basements generally provide the best protection otherwise go into an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible, away from windows and glass.
Intruder: Secure doors and seek concealment away from windows and doors. Turn lights off and close the blinds if the room is so equipped.
Account for all Faculty, Staff, Students, & visitors as people arrive in the shelter.
Stay in the shelter location until the danger has passed.
An "ALL CLEAR" message will be broadcast via the University Emergency Communication System when the danger has passed and the appropriate University Official has determined that it is safe to exit the shelter.
A shelter-in-place warning may be issued for a variety of reasons ranging from severe weather, hazardous materials exposure, suspicious intruder, hostage situation or any situation when it is best to stay where you are to avoid any uncertainty outside.

CAMPUS WARNING SIRENS
Two separate siren warning systems are present on campus:
Oconee Nuclear Warning Sirens
Campus Alert System (CAS)
The Campus Alert System (CAS) is primarily intended to notify of impending severe weather to campus occupants that are outdoors. The CAS may also be used to notify Faculty, Staff, Students, and visitors of other emergency situations affecting the campus. When activated, the CAS will provide alternating cycles of alert tones and voice announcement. In some instances CAS may also provide an "All Clear." announcement when appropriate.
The campus is within the 10-mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) that surrounds the Oconee Nuclear Power Plant, north of Seneca, SC. The sirens, located at various locations throughout the community, serve to notify citizens of a variety of events that may occur at the site.
Both systems are tested regularly.
Regardless of which system activates, the same initial action(s) are indicated:
Stop what you are doing
Evaluate your surroundings and immediately seek information which may include voice announcements from the CAS
Be prepared to take immediate self-protective action

Stop what you are doing.
Evaluate your surroundings and immediately seek information which may include voice announcements from the CAS.
Be prepared to take immediate self- protective action.
If severe weather appears to be imminent, immediately seek refuge in a substantially constructed building and shelter-in-place. As soon as possible seek information via local media and information sources to determine the actual nature of the warning.
If the Oconee Nuclear warning system is activated, you should NOT evacuate the area. It is very important to tune into local media and other information sources to determine what actions are recommended.
Both systems are tested during the first month of each calendar quarter for a single three-minute period. In the event of an actual emergency, either system will sound continuously.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but they are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust.
There are several scales for rating the strength of tornadoes. The Fujita scale rates tornadoes by damage caused and have been replaced in some countries by the updated Enhanced Fujita Scale. An F0 or EF0 tornado, the weakest category, damages trees, but not substantial structures. An F5 or EF5 tornado, the strongest category, rips buildings off their foundations and can deform large skyscrapers.
A "Tornado Watch" means conditions are right for a tornado.
A "Tornado Warning" means a tornado has been spotted in for the area being warned.
You should know where the "safer" areas are located in any building that you are in. Things to remember about finding a "safer area":
Try and get to the lowest level of any structure in which you are located.
Stay away from areas where windows and glass are present.
Put as many walls as you can between yourself and the outside.
In public buildings, bathrooms often times have an additional wall.

EVACUATION PROCEDURES
Evacuation of the University if necessary will generally fall into two categories:
Limited or Partial Evacuation – A building, designated area or group of buildings may be evacuated for a specific time.
General Evacuation – the entire campus is evacuated for an indefinite period of time.
It is very important that regardless of the type or duration of an evacuation that everyone listens very carefully to official information and evacuation orders issued from the University Administration.
Plan ahead. Know evacuation routes from your office and campus.
If the building fire alarm is activated, leave without delay.
Remain calm and listen for specific evacuation instructions.
Do not return for personal items.
Walk, do not run. Once outside the building move away from the exits.
Do not go into the restrooms.
Do not use the elevators!
Direct visitors or anyone needing assistance to nearest stairwell.
It is imperative that you "check in" with your supervisor or other department personnel so all employees can be accounted for.
An evacuation could last from a few minutes to several days.
Make sure you have personal and Clemson University identification with you.
IN THE EVENT OF AN AUTHORIZED GENERAL EVACUATION:
Faculty, staff and campus visitors: Leave campus and return to their home or other safe and appropriate intermediate destination unless told otherwise.
Students that can provide their own transportation should leave campus and return to their home or other safe and appropriate intermediate destination unless told otherwise
Students who cannot provide their own transportation should report to the front of Hendrix Student Center where transportation buses will be provided to shuttle students to T. Ed. Garrison Arena or other processing centers until transportation home or to a shelter can be arranged
Remain calm and act!
If inside, Stop, Drop and Cover under a table, desk or other substantial piece of furniture and hold on. Stay away from windows, shelves, and heavy equipment. Evacuate if alarm sounds or if told to do so by emergency personnel.
If outdoors, move quickly away from buildings, utility poles, overhead wires, and other structures. CAUTION: Avoid downed power or utility lines as they may be energized. Do not attempt to enter buildings until you are advised to do so by the proper authorities.
Call 911 or use an "Emergency Call Box" if emergency assistance is necessary.
Do not use lanterns, torches, lighted cigarettes or open flames since gas leaks could be present.
Open windows, etc., to ventilate the building. Watch out for broken glass. If a fire is caused by the earthquake, implement the fire procedures.
If in an automobile, stop in the safest place available, preferably an open area away from power lines and trees. Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle for the shelter it provides.
Be prepared for aftershocks.
The best earthquake preparation is to take precaution before the earthquake (e.g., secure or remove objects above you that could fall during an earthquake).
EMERGENCY ACTION
If inside, stop, drop and cover under a table, desk or other substantial piece of furniture.
Call 911 or use an "Emergency Call Box" if emergency assistance is necessary.
Evacuate if alarm sounds or if told to do so by emergency personnel.
Unlike other emergencies, the procedures to deal with an earthquake are much less specific. Since an earthquake's magnitude cannot be predetermined, everyone must initiate emergency precautions within a few seconds after the initial tremor is felt, assuming the worst possible case.
The best earthquake instruction is to take precaution before the earthquake (e.g. secure or remove objects above you that could fall during an earthquake).
DURING THE EARTHQUAKE
Remain calm and act.
If indoors, seek refuge under a desk, table or in a doorway and hold on. Stay away from windows, shelves and heavy equipment.
If outdoors, move quickly away from buildings, utility poles, overhead wires and other structures. CAUTION: Avoid downed power or utility lines as they may be energized. Do not attempt to enter buildings until you are advised to do so by the proper authorities.
AFTER THE INITIAL SHOCK
Be prepared for aftershocks. Aftershocks are usually less intense than the main quake, but can cause further structural damage.
Protect yourself at all times.
Evaluate the situation and call 911 for emergency assistance, if necessary.
Open windows, etc., to ventilate the building. Watch out for broken glass.
If a fire is caused by the earthquake, implement the fire procedures.
The Upstate of South Carolina experiences a wide variety of weather patterns, some of which can be sudden and severe.
Staying informed and being prepared is everyone's personal responsibility!
Clemson University subscribes to a weather monitoring service that "watches" over a 12-mile zone surrounding the campus with the intent of providing a 20-minute warning in the event of severe weather.
Upon receipt of a severe weather warning, the Campus Alert System (CAS) is activated along with providing information on the nature of the situation. See the sections on Campus Warning Sirens and Campus Emergency Communications for more information.
WEATHER ADVISORY DEFINITIONS:
WATCH: Conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather in the area. Everyone should closely monitor the situation in case of deterioration.
WARNING: Severe weather has actually been observed and is imminent or is occurring in the area.
TORNADO:
Get to lowest level of buildings possible.
Get away from windows and glass.
Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible (many times, this will be an internal bathroom).
THUNDERSTORMS:
Thunderstorms frequently have high winds, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, heavy rain and tornadoes.
No place outside is safe during a thunderstorm. A substantially constructed building offers the best protection.
LIGHTNING:
Stay away from telephones, electrical appliances and plumbing.
If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Seek shelter immediately.
WINTER WEATHER:
A major winter storm can last for several days and can intensify with little or no warning in the upstate region.
Many people become injured or die due to exposure to cold and vehicle accidents. Regardless of how experienced you think you are, driving during severe winter weather is perilous.
Plan for the worst. Have adequate clothing, food and water ready before it is needed.
ACTIVE THREAT
1 - RUN
Have an escape route and plan in mind.
Leave your belongings behind.
Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow.
Help others escape, if possible.
Do not attempt to move the wounded.
Discourage others from entering an area where the active shooter may be.
Keep your hands visible.
Do not gather in facility accountability areas.
2 - HIDE
If you are in a building without exterior electronic locks, lock exterior doors.
If in a building with electronic locks, verify that they have been locked.
Find an interior room; lock, barricade, and secure the door in some way.
Be prepared to support/reinforce your barricade with force, if necessary.
Get out of sight: turn off lights, silence phones, cover windows in doors, draw blinds, and move away from windows.
If outdoors, seek shelter in the nearest unlocked building.
If the closest buildings are locked, move as far away from the danger as possible, seek cover (large trees, walls, cars in a parking lot, etc.), move to another building, or leave campus if it is safe to do so.
Do not leave until an All Clear is received. Unfamiliar voices may be the threat attempting to lure victims from their safe place.
Do not respond to any voice commands until you can verify with certainty that they are being issued by a police officer.
If you can do so without jeopardizing your safety, report information about the location of the threat by calling 911 or via Rave Guardian (if you have the app).
If the shooter is in your area and you cannot safely talk, leave the 911 line open so the dispatcher can listen to what's taking place. Normally the location of a 911 call can be determined without speaking.
3 - FIGHT
Fight as a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger.
Attempt to incapacitate the shooter.
Act with as much physical aggression as possible.
Improvise weapons or throw items at the active shooter.
Commit to your actions. Your life depends on it.
The first officers to arrive on scene will not stop to help the injured.
Expect rescue teams to follow initial officers.
These rescue teams will treat and remove injured.
Do not leave the area until law enforcement authorities have instructed you to do so.
Campus Emergencies – Dial 9-1-1 or 864-656-2222
Do I let someone in?
If there is any doubt about the safety of the individuals inside the room or building, the area needs to remain secure. Use good judgement. If there are individuals outside the locked door that want to get in, consider:
Can you see the area outside the door to determine that someone is not lying in wait? Is it a trap?
Does the person at the door match the physical description given in the Lockdown Alert, if given?
If the decision is made to let a person in, consider:
Have the person leave anything they are carrying outside of the secure area.
Have the person lift their clothing until the waistline is visible and rotate 360 degrees to see if he or she is concealing a weapon.
Remember, always use good judgement. There are exceptions to all guidance and prescribed directions.
When Law Enforcement Arrives On-Scene
Law enforcement's purpose is to stop the active shooter as soon as possible. Officers will proceed directly to the area where the last shots were heard.
Remain calm and follow officers' instructions.
Put down any items in your hands, especially cell phones, for responders to see that you are unarmed.
Immediately raise hands and spread fingers.
Keep hands visible at all times.
Avoid making quick movements toward officers such as holding on to them for safety.
Avoid screaming or yelling.
Do not stop to ask officers for help or direction when evacuating, proceed in the direction from which officers are entering the area.
Provide the following to law enforcement or 911 operator
Location of the active shooter
Number of shooters, if more than one
Physical description of shooter(s)
Number and type of weapons held by the shooter(s)
Number of potential victims at the location
An "active shooter" is an individual(s) who is engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
Active shooter events are unpredictable, evolve quickly, and are often over within a matter of minutes. You must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation.
Get informed of the threat. Sign up for CU Safe Alerts at www.getrave.com/login/clemson or on the Phone Number section of your My.Clemson account, and download Rave Guardian on your cell phone.
Be aware of your environment, co-workers, and classmates and any possible dangers.
Take note of all exits and posted evacuation routes in any facility you visit.
Be prepared to Run, Hide, and/or Fight, as described below.
Call 911 when it is safe to do so.
All Lockdowns require electronic building access control to be locked to all but Law Enforcement personnel.
Direction you may receive from University Authorities via CU Safe Alert methods:
A CU SAFE ALERT with instructions, and follow-up messages, would be sent to all registered devices; law enforcement directions must be followed.
"LOCKOUT"
A "Lockout" is a precautionary action to secure specific building(s) or internal offices due to a potential or perceived safety concern affecting a specific individual(s). This is a lesser hazard than that would necessitate a "Localized Incident."
A CU SAFE ALERT will not be sent out for a Lockout.
Should you feel a Lockout is necessary for your work area:
Take actions to protect yourself and those in the immediate area.
Lock the building(s) or internal offices, as directed.
Manage visitor access by ensuring there is someone assigned to allow entry to personnel there to conduct business, while not allowing entry to the person(s) causing the safety concern.
Continue work or classes.
If classes are being conducted outside, return inside and continue class.
Contact Law Enforcement by calling 911 or 864-656-2222 and notify them of the safety concern, and the precautionary actions being taken.
Notify your Building Security Coordinator (BSC) of the situation and keep them informed until the conclusion of the issue. You can find a listing of BSCs here.
BSCs will quickly communicate information about the situation throughout the building.
Once the situation has been resolved, CUPD will coordinate with BSCs to provide information regarding the resolution of the incident. BSCs will then communicate with building occupants to answer any questions or concerns.
"LOCALIZED LOCKDOWN"
A "Localized Lockdown" is when law enforcement believes that there may be an external concern that could cause harm or damage in a focused area such as a single building, or a small number of buildings (i.e. protests, civil disobediences, aggrieved person(s), etc.).
A "Localized Lockdown" requires the buildings identified to "Run, Hide, Fight".
"CAMPUS WIDE LOCKDOWN"
A "Campus Wide Lockdown" is when law enforcement deems it necessary to secure all buildings on campus due to a widespread safety concern. This could be due to an active shooter, bomb threat or other critical safety concern.
"ALL CLEAR"
IF YOU DISCOVER SMOKE OR FIRE
If it is safe to do so, remove everyone from immediate danger and close the door to confine smoke and fire.
Activate the building fire alarm at a pull station along your evacuation route.
If the fire is small enough and you are properly trained, take immediate action to control the fire with available firefighting equipment.
If leaving a room, feel the door with the back of your hand before opening it. Do not open any door that feels hot.
Do not return to your area for personal belongings.
If smoke is present, stay low. The best quality of air is near the floor. Proceed to the stairwell and exit to ground floor.
After you are safely out of the danger area, dial 911 to notify the University Emergency Dispatch Center.
IF YOU CATCH ON FIRE, DO NOT RUN!!!
STOP where you are,
DROP to the ground, and
ROLL over and over to smother flames.
IF YOU ARE TRAPPED AND CANNOT EVACUATE
If available, wedge wet towels or cloth materials along the bottom of the door to keep out smoke.
Close as many doors as possible between you and the fire.
Use telephone to call 911 and notify the University Emergency Dispatch Center of your problem and location.
If you are trapped in an area and need oxygen, only break the window as a last resort.
Use caution when breaking the window.
RESPONSE TO FIRE ALARMS
If the alarm sounds and/or emergency strobes begin to blink, evacuate immediately.
Never assume a fire alarm is a false alarm!
Do not return for personal belongings.
Direct and assist visitors and persons with disabilities who appear to need direction or assistance.
Return to the building only when instructed by authorized personnel. If you decide to try and extinguish a small fire with a fire extinguisher, remember the acronym P.A.S.S. (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
PREVENTING CRIME
IN YOUR OFFICE
Lock your valuables up even if you are just going down the hall. It takes a thief less than 10 seconds to enter a room and steal your property.
When entering a secure area, do not let someone "tailgate" in behind you. Make them show their I.D. if you do not know them.
Keep all personal information secured (i.e. home address, SS#, pin access #).
Do not leave any desk or office keys and personnel identification or building access cards in unsecured areas.
Call the University Police to report any suspicious persons or activities.
WHEN WALKING
Be aware of your surroundings at all times.

SEXUAL ASSAULT AND BATTERY
Sexual assault is defined as any attempted or actual act of non-consensual sexual intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, anal intercourse or any intrusion, however slight, of any part of a person's body or of any other object into the oral, genital or anal openings of another person's body. This includes forcible or non-forcible sex offenses, including rape and fondling.
DATING/RELATIONSHIP VIOLENCE
Dating/relationship violence is violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim where the existence of such relationship shall be based on a) the length of the relationship, b) the type of the relationship, and c) the frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship. This includes sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse.
Medical Care – It is important for the victims and survivors to have information about available health care services, including HIV and sexually transmitted infection screenings and preventive measures. They may choose to have an anonymous forensic exam to evaluate possible medical needs after the assault, document injuries and collect evidence.
Criminal Reporting – If the alleged assault is a crime, a report should be made to the Clemson University Police Department or other appropriate law enforcement agency if the incident occurred off campus. For more information visit the Office of Access and Equity's Title IX reporting page.
Alleged Perpetrator is a Student – If the alleged perpetrator is a Clemson University student, a complaint may be filed with the Office of Community and Ethical Standards (OCES), which is responsible for resolving student conduct issues. Alesia Smith, Associate Dean and Director of OCES and the Deputy Title IX Coordinator, may be reached at 864-656-0510 or at alesias@clemson.edu.
Alleged Perpetrator is an Employee or other NonStudent – If the alleged perpetrator is a Clemson University employee (faculty or staff), visitor to campus or other non-student, a complaint may be filed with the Office of Access and Equity. Jerry Knighton, Director of the Office of Access and Equity and Title IX Coordinator, may be reached at 864-656-3181 or knightl@clemson.edu.
Stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for the person's safety or the safety of others, or suffer substantial emotional distress.
Consent requires speech or conduct indicating a freely given, un-coerced agreement to engage in sexual contact. Consent may not be inferred from silence or passivity alone and a current or previous relationship is not sufficient to constitute consent. Consent may not be inferred due to the lack of physical resistance. Consent may be withdrawn at any time prior to or during a specific sexual act by either person. There are a number of factors which may limit or negate a person's ability to consent to a sexual act. These include but are not limited to age, impairment due to the influence of alcohol or drugs (illegal or prescription), an intellectual or other disability, a person's temporary or permanent mental or physical impairment, unconsciousness, fear and/or coercion.
Crisis Counseling: Student victims of sexual violence can seek crisis counseling services through Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). During normal business hours, CAPS can be contacted by calling 864-656-2451. After hours and on weekends, CAPS can be contacted by calling 864-656-2222 and asking for the CAPS on-call counselor.

One of the most important shellfish aquaculture in the Mediterranean (including our study site in the Ebro Delta, NE Spain) is the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) farming. This species is vulnerable to ocean acidification. The once important production of the native European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) was drastically reduced during the 1970s/1980s due to protozoan disease, but little is known on its resilience capacity to future scenarios of ocean acidification. In addition, studies aimed at investigating how seawater acidification interacts with the bulk bacterial community are also necessary to understand mortality patterns and to secure the continuity of commercial activities and the recruitment of populations.
The effects of seawater acidification were investigated across larval stages (veliger, umbonate, and pediveliger) and spat of O. edulis in laboratory conditions. Simultaneous experiments were also conducted to investigate the potential effects of reduced pH on bacterial growth that could provide a more comprehensive understanding on the effects of seawater acidification in larval mortality. Larvae and bacteria were exposed to four pH treatments: ambient (7.9) and 3 manipulated conditions (7.6, 7.4, and 7.2). The pH range agrees with the latest global IPCC scenarios (RCPs 2.6 to 8.5). The pH conditions were achieved manipulating the carbonate chemistry of seawater by diffusing pure CO2 in the experimental tanks.
The survival of larvae increased with pH reductions by ca. 26%. No shell malformations were observed and growth patterns tended to mirror those of survival. This coincided with lower bacterial growth, particularly for Vibrio spp., in the two lowest pH treatments, suggesting that seawater acidification may help to prevent pathogenicity in O. edulis larvae.
Compared to available information on the vulnerability of other commercial bivalves to ocean acidification, our results suggest that O. edulis could be a more resilient species.


Just a quick note here today on how to show methods from the String class in the Scala REPL, as well as methods from the StringOps class, which aren't seen as easily.
There are several drawbacks here, including the part where you have to remember what package the StringOps class is in so you can import it or invoke it as shown.
If you know of a better way to list these StringOps methods, I'd be very glad to hear about it. Just leave a note in the Comments section below.
How do I find API documentation (Scaladoc) for the Scala String class?

The outrage over Instagram's changes in the wording of its terms of service has seen rival photo editing and sharing app EyeEm receive a boost in downloads.
The founder of the Berlin-based startup, Florian Meissner, told German newspaper Die Welt that "the Facebook mentality won't do", reacting to the infringement of the privacy rights of Instagram users. The scandal was over changes in the terms of service, which implied that the site has the power to sell users' photos to advertisers without first getting permission. The news caused a furor on Twitter and within the internet sphere, with users publicly protesting and announcing intentions to delete their accounts, plus Instagram being hit with a class action lawsuit.
While reports claim user numbers on Instagram dropped in the aftermath of the drama, EyeEm gained heightened interest and a flock of new users – with a 30 per cent monthly growth in sign ups, adding up to over half a million downloads in total. This could also be a response to the strict and clear privacy policies on EyeEm.
EyeEm launched on the Apple and Android app stores in August 2011 and offers users a little extra than the standard Instagram filters and social network; the Berlin startup lets users follow people with similar interests and shows photos from nearby users.
The founders are busy improving the app and capitalising on the current spike in attention, though Meissner told Die Welt that, at the beginning of the startup, the founders "were four newbies. We had no idea, we made heaps of mistakes, but also learnt a huge amount".

One of the numerous things I miss about being a kid, aside from mandatory nap time and not having any idea what the word "cholesterol" meant, is being read to. Being able to close your eyes and listen allows your imagination to roam in a different way than if you're the one doing the reading. You can get a similar experience these days from audio books, but LeVar Burton has his own approach to reading to adults and it's perfect for those of us from the Reading Rainbow generation. Yes, I said perfect.
We learned about Burton's new podcast, LeVar Burton Reads, thanks to Bustle. Burton is using the podcast format to read short stories from all genres, with a little music and original sound design sprinkled in.
Ahh. I've missed that voice. It's like a cool breeze.
Three episodes of LeVar Burton Reads are available at the moment, all in the 30- to 60-minute range--which, for me, is a podcast sweet spot as far as length. If you have an average commute, you can listen to an entire story. This could be a pleasant break in between audio books that are hours long.
Visit the LeVar Burton Reads site to listen to the episodes released so far and to learn where to subscribe.

My HATERS have a lot to say about me!
I have won more than a few cases and awards but to be voted the world's number 1 self-hating Jew by this group is an HONOR!
STANLEYCOHEN
Attorney for Hamas Terrorists
"Israel is a terrorist state, Palestinians have no choice but to attack Israelis
by any means necessary. Yes, that includes suicide bombings!"
.Stanley Cohen
A Jew with a Nutsack Swollen with Anti-Jewish, Anti-Israel and Anti-American Venom!
Stanley L. ("Louse") Cohen lives alone in his dingy New York City apartment. He'd have a roommate if Satan did not already have his own place!
If, however, he were to take on a roommate, he would pick someone just like Mustafah Abu Marzook... the so-called "head" of the so-called "political wing" of Hamas. In other words, he may plan and direct OTHERS to carry out the ethnic genocide of Israel's Jews, but his "job description" affords him a degree of insulation from the so-called "militant wing" of that very same organization! This would be like Adolph Hitler planning and ordering the murder of millions but claiming innocence since he did not actually DO the murdering! In any case, it doesn't much matter to those unfortunate school kids blow to shreds aboard some Israeli civilian bus!
Footnote: Cohen's own cousin was killed in a bus bombing in Israel. Cohen reported that Mustafa and his wife, Nadia, called to offer condolences. Cohen accepted. End of story. Cohen brushed off the murder and picked up right where he left off ... defending murderers of Jews! All this goes to show that, in Cohen's case, [family] blood is NOT thicker than water!
Marzook was captured in the United States. Israel sought to have this monster extradited to stand trial for his part in planning and encouraging terrorism against the Jewish State. However, Stanley Cohen stepped in and successfully thwarted the carrying out of this extradition request. Ultimately, Cohen was able to get Marzook into Jordan and then on to Syria. The US authorities still have an arrest warrant for him. Stanley Cohen, of course, will do his best to protect his "client."

Guarded Neymar keeps four-goal inspiration a secret
By FourFourTwo Staff 17 October 2015
Neymar refused to give away the secret behind his four-goal haul in Barcelona's resounding victory against Rayo Vallecano.
Barcelona forward Neymar kept his cards close to his chest when asked how he scored four goals in a 5-2 win against Rayo Vallecano at the Camp Nou on Saturday.
La Liga's champions recovered from conceding Javi Guerra's 15th-minute opener as an inspired Neymar turned the game on its head with two penalties and a quick-fire brace just after the hour mark.
Luis Suarez added a fifth and Jozabed got one back for the visitors but it was Neymar who grabbed the headlines as Barca moved second behind Real Madrid, level on points with their rivals.
"I cannot explain how I do things, it would give away clues," Neymar was quoted as saying by AS.
"Everything is born from practicing many times."
The victory came after Luis Enrique's side had lost two of their previous three league outings - going down to Celta Vigo and Sevilla prior to the international break.
Neymar added: "All teams and rivals are complicated. I commend Rayo for the shock they gave us.
"We all worked well and ensured the points stayed at home.
"I am very happy with the victory and the way we played. Rayo are a great team and we struggled to play them."

Sweden could see herd immunity in weeks
By World Tribune on April 23, 2020
by WorldTribune Staff, April 23, 2020
Sweden's top epidemiologist said "herd immunity" to coronavirus could be reached in Stockholm within weeks.
Sweden, unlike its Scandinavian neighbors, did not impose a lockdown amid the COVID-19 outbreak, instead employing a strategy aimed at building a broad-base of immunity while protecting at-risk groups.
Sweden is the only Scandinavian nation not to impose a coronavirus lockdown. / YouTube
"In major parts of Sweden, around Stockholm, we have reached a plateau (in new cases) and we're already seeing the effect of herd immunity and in a few weeks' time we'll see even more of the effects of that. And in the rest of the country, the situation is stable," Dr. Anders Tegnell, chief epidemiologist at Sweden's Public Health Agency, told CNBC on April 21.
Herd immunity is reached when around 60 percent of citizens are deemed immune.
Tegnell told CNBC that sampling and modeling data indicated that 20 percent of Stockholm's population is already immune to the virus, and that "in a few weeks' time we might reach herd immunity and we believe that is why we're seeing a slow decline in cases, in spite of sampling (testing for the coronavirus) more and more."
As of April 21, Sweden at just over 15,000 confirmed coronavirus cases, most in Stockholm and its surrounding areas.
Sweden is testing around 20,000 people a week and hopes to increase that to 100,000 in a few weeks' time, Tegnell said.
The majority of deaths from coronavirus in Sweden have been in the nation's elderly care homes.
"The death toll is very closely related to elderly care homes. More than half of the people that have died have lived in elderly care homes." Tegnell said, adding that he and the Public Health Agency are "still very concerned about the elderly. It's the group we said we needed to protect."
Tegnell said he was "fairly confident" in Sweden's coronavirus strategy, but it is still too early for the government to lift restrictions imposed to delay the spread of the virus.
"A big part of the country has not been affected at all yet," Tegnell said. ″(But) if you look at the exit strategies that now many countries have opted for, they look very much like Sweden's (strategy and restrictions)."
Sweden's government has advocated working from home and avoiding nonessential travel and social contact with the elderly. Restaurants, bars, cafes and nightclubs have been offering seated table service only, and gatherings of more than 50 people have been banned. Schools for under 16-year-olds have remained open and life has generally carried on as before the outbreak.

So Scanpy works in this environment!
But somehow Snakemake fails to find the Scanpy module!
I'm using Snakemake 7.22.0, on macOS Monterey 12.5.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: If anyone runs into the same issue, I found the answer.
It is not sufficient to have jupyter_core and jupyter_client in the environment of interest.
I installed jupyter lab using mamba and it solved everything!

United Federation Of Planets
UFP
The Federation has begun making plans for further colonisation programs outside of Federation Territory, the first of its type for 50 years. The Federation is still suffering the after effects of the War, with many Federation Starship, Starbases and planetary installations, even after 7 years, still awaiting repairs and replenishment.The Starfleet Advanced Design Bureau have only recently begun finishing their ongoing projects. The Hyperion Class, commissioned in 2379, is currently the Largest Federation Starship, closely followed by the Chariot Class. The recent addition of the new Luna Class Vessels, which include Captain Riker's USS Titan, is also proving successful. The Pathfinder Class Starships are developing as the elite of new Federation vessels. Capable of MVA mode, the Pathfinder class Starship is rising to become the new Sovereign Class. The Concorde Class Starship is also proving a success as the replacement for Starships such as the Typhon and Tirpitz. Another recent completion by the ASDB is the Montana Class, which after aggressive testing, has been abandoned, and the crew of the only commissioned space frame has been assigned to another vessel, which Starfleet has named Montana.
Tensions in the Bajor sector are still normalising since the end of the war. Trade-lines to the Gamma Quadrant have only recently been re-opened. Station Deep Space 9 has come under complete Starfleet control, as of early 2380. This is due to the acceptance of Bajor into the UFP. The Bajoran Militia has been absorbed into the Starfleet, and the Bajoran Provisional Government has been discontinued in favour of a new long-term Government.
Captain Kira Nerys, Commandant of Deep Space 9, has recently said that the continued Starfleet Presence near the Bajoran Wormhole is necessary. Starfleet are turning the station into a shipyard, and are currently making plans to open it as such. Amongst the proposed names for this Shipyard are the Opaka Yards, the Emissary Yards, and the Sisko Yards. Starfleet Polls are leaning more towards naming them the Sisko Yards.
The newest ships of the line inculde the Pathfinder Class of which the USS Resolution A is one, and the new Majestic class.

So after enthusing about the Ancient Greeks MOOC that I completed earlier in the year I've signed up for another one. This one is called the New Librarianship Master Class and is run by the School of Information Studies, Syracuse University, New York.
We're at the end of week 1 and my feelings are mixed. The platform, CourseSites by Blackboard, is not as smooth as Coursera, especially for iPad access. The discussion boards, an integral part of the course, are incredibly slow to load or refresh. I have only contributed a couple of comments, partly because I am in awe of the articulate and well thought out comments from other people on the course, and partly because of technical issues: the iPad flips back to the top of the page when I start typing, meaning I can't see the box I'm typing into!
There is a great level of interaction from the course leader (R. David Lankes) on the discussion boards, both initiating conversations and joining in with threads started by other participants. I also like following the conversations on Twitter using the hashtag #newlib.
The sheer volume of videos to accompany each module is slightly daunting. I did nearly cry when I realised how many videos there were to watch in week 1, which happened to be a very busy week for me. The course leader is enthusiastic and passionate but the Importance of Worldview and Mission of Librarians videos did not inspire me.
I'm glad I persevered though because subsequent videos, focussing on aspects of the mission statement rather than the statement itself, are very interesting, blending theory with practical examples.

Home/Where We Are
The region known in Guatemala as "El valle del Polochic" (Polochic Valley) lies on the south eastern side of Alta Verapaz bordering with the Departamento Izabal. The Polochic River, as the name giving river, spreads through 5 Municipalities, Tamahu, Tucuru, La Tinta, and El Estor where approximately 95% of the inhabitants are indigenous Q'eqchi. The valley lies within a subtropical climate and has rich soils in its lowland areas where rice crops, sugar cane, and palm oil prosper. In the high mountain regions, cardamon and one of the best coffee crops in the world can be found.
Despite having such rich natural resources the region remains one of the least developed areas in Guatemala. According to its HDI (2009) the region can be compare to development levels in Sub Saharan Africa. Low education levels that barely reach the 6th grade (primary school), extremely low health accessibility, and unequal incomes are still widely characteristic for the area although vast improvement is taking place.
The region, in particular the valley, was not densely populated until the 1950s due to a high risk of Malaria. The first efforts to settle in the valley came from the United Fruit Company (UFC) but failed to succeed due to high rates of illness. Shortly after, individual farmers bought land from the state and slowly settled in. Even though the region has had a mostly peaceful history, there are dark chapters during the Guatemalan Civil War (1960 – 1996) where several reports indicate the existence of army led massacres in the valley.
Today, the outbreaks of Malaria have been reduced drastically, the region enjoys a fairly peaceful atmosphere, and people (despite having low development levels) can be considered as a lively population.
Living standards are low, with average annual households incomes being around Q1500 (approx. 200$ or 150EUR) per family. The supply of running water exists sporadically and the power supply is only reliable in the summer months. Most household do not have flooring, or household equipment used in the developed world such as microwaves, stoves, toasters, or washing machines. Very peculiar however, is that refrigerators, TVs, and radios are very popular amongst the population.
Approximately 95% of the valley's population are Q'eqchi Maya, one of the largest indigenous ethnic groups in Guatemala. There are around 600,000 Q'eqchi in Guatemala, primarily in the northern part of the country through the departments of Alta Verapaz, Izabal, and Petén. Throughout history, the Q'eqchi have been considered a peaceful group having avoided war against the Spanish conquistadors. They are characterized as being traditionalists, where religion, cultural-, community-, and household rules are passed down from generation to generation.
Historically, the indigenous people of Guatemala have been discriminated against even though they make up around 60% of the nation's population. Access to education is often limited as they live in the poorer, rural areas of the country and many children must start working at a young age to help support their families. Coupled with the cost of education, many families are not able to support sending their children to school, or must prioritize which children are able to attend. Thus, Li Ch'utam's educational projects truly make a difference in the lives of our community residents.
Li Ch'utam owns two facilities in the village of Nueva Mercedes that help to support programmatic efforts. First, is our Volunteer Lodge that houses our volunteers. It has multiple bed rooms, a bathroom, living room, and a fully furnished kitchen. Just a few minutes' walk to the school, it is a great place to stay while working with Li Ch'utam.
Second, as of April 7th, 2018, our Knowledge & IT Center was opened as a community resource center. We now have our own space to host extra-curricular activities and IT and other classes.

Nor'easters close out 2017 season with exciting 3-3 draw with D.C. United Under-23s
Noumansana scores twice as Ocean City finishes the campaign undefeated at the Beach House in all competitions
The Ocean City Nor'easters ended the 2017 season with an entertaining 3-3 draw in a friendly against the D.C. United Under-23s. Ismael Noumansana (Lenoir-Rhyne / Bamako, Mali) scored a pair of goals and Francisco Neto (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil/West Virginia Tech) added another but United answered with two late goals, including the last one in stoppage time, to level the score.

"It was a good way to finish the season, we managed to get all the lads who've been around the squad all season some playing time," said head coach John Thompson. "Boys had a good time being down here for three months and we were still unbeaten at home this year."
D.C. opened the scoring in 15th minute when Elijah Agu's shot got pass Ocean City keeper Jimmy Slayton (Wethersfield, CT/Hartford) to give them an early lead.
Ocean City immediately fought for the equalizer and created a number of chances, with the best coming from John Schroeder (Houston, TX/Delaware). The Delaware product sent a great pass to Noumansana but United goalkeeper Mark Elmore came off his line to intercept it.
Ocean City eventually got the tying goal in the 30th minute when Noumansana scored with a chip shot over Elmore to make it 1-1 where it would remain until halftime.
The second half started out well for Ocean City when Neto rocketed a shot past Elmore to give Ocean City a 2-1 lead. Then, in the 61st minute, Noumansana collected a low cross and shot into an empty net to make it 3-1.
However D.C. sparked a late rally with two goals in the final six minutes. Elijah Agu scored in the 84th minute and then Everson Amaya scored the tying goal in stoppage time.
The game would finish tied at 3-3 giving the home fans in Ocean City an entertaining end to the 2017 season. The Nor'easters finished the regular season 9-4-1, which earned them a third place finish in the Mid-Atlantic Division. Including all U.S. Open Cup and exhibition games, the team finished 11-4-3, with an undefeated record at home of 8-0-3.
The entire Ocean City Nor'easters organization would like to thank all of the fans for making 2017 a memorable season.

The former couple declared in a joint statement that "making this decision was far from simple."
Fans of Love Is Blind are having a sad day.
Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones, a pair from season 2, have separated. The two reality stars revealed the news in a joint Instagram post on Wednesday, saying they "shall start the process of divorcing" after giving it "much contemplation."
"What's happening, family? We're sorry to announce that we have separated and will start the divorce process after giving it great deliberation "the declaration started. "While we are in love with one another, it's good if our lives are taking different turns."
Despite the fact that "making this decision was far from simple," McNeely and Jones declared that they will "always wish each other the very best."
They added, "We hope you everyone will allow us some room as we finish this chapter of our lives. "We are grateful to our close friends and family for supporting us both throughout this difficult time. Thank you to Netflix and the Love Is Blind family for providing this once-in-a-lifetime chance. Each of you has filled our lives with unbounded love and delight."
They concluded the statement by writing: "We have learned so much about ourselves, vulnerability, and love from this experience. We have no regrets at all!"
On the second season of the Netflix blockbuster, which debuted earlier this year, McNeely and Jones connected through the pods. Jones also became interested in Mallory Zapata, but he ultimately decided on McNeely, and the two were engaged.
Although they eventually made it down the aisle, there were a few hiccups on the road to their wedding. The two Chicago natives were concerned that their different lives might clash but ultimately decided to make accommodations to make their relationship work.

Traveling is the first item on our itinerary since we had talked so much about it in the pod about how we really wanted to see the world before getting married and starting a family, Jones said in March. Just so we can enjoy our time together as a married couple out in public without any restrictions or bars.
As McNeely added, "We need to go. I suppose I particularly want to move. He is willing to change. Chicago is not where I want to live. This place is very cold. I am unable to accomplish this at this time. I'm not capable of doing it."
So, Jones continued, "the schedule is… deciding where we're going to settle, getting her back in school." "We'll start having children after she graduates from school or is nearly done. two decades"
