#OITworks: OIT is a "social and emotional cure" as a food allergy treatment
Oral immunotherapy desensitizes children & adults to their food allergens. By consuming the allergen regularly, in increasing amounts under the care of a board-certified allergist, patients' immune systems adapt to the allergen that formerly would have caused a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction. Desensitized patients are still allergic. They consume their allergen regularly to maintain desensitization.
We say it's a "social cure" because it eliminates social exclusion due to food allergies, and the many social confrontations that come from questioning every bite of food.
We say it's an "emotional cure" because it eliminates fear of food, and of feeling different or left out from peers.

Big Creek ( Big Creek Flats dans les années 1870; Manzanita Park en 1902; jusqu'en 1926, Cascada )  est une census-designated place  dans le comté de Fresno, en Californie, situé dans la Sierra Nevada sur la rive nord de . Elle se trouve à une altitude de .  Son dernier recensement était de 175 habitants. Le code postal est 93605 et la communauté est à l'intérieur de l'indicatif régional 559 .

Histoire

Big Creek fut construite sur le site du premier barrage et de la première centrale électrique du Big Creek Hydroelectric Project de la Southern California Edison, l'un des plus vastes au monde. À part l'héliport privé appartenant à Southern California Edison, le seul moyen d'entrer ou de sortir de la ville est Big Creek Road, au large de la California State Route 168. Le barrage est traversé par une passerelle menant à la rive sud, mais l'accès est limité aux employés de SCE et aux résidents qui ont reçu une clé. Ses principales industries sont la production d'électricité et le tourisme . On y pratique le camping, les loisirs nautiques en été et le ski sur neige en hiver. Le lac Huntington est au nord-est et le lac Shaver au sud. China Peak n'est qu'à environ 9,3 milles. Bien que la seule école de Big Creek soit une école élémentaire, elle enseigne de la maternelle au la 8e grade.

Les conduites forcées des deux unités d'origine des Big Creek Power Houses One and Two, construites de 1912 à 1313, ont été achetées auprès des usines Krupp en Allemagne, car à cette époque, ce fabricant produisait des tuyaux en acier de la résistance à la traction nécessaire pour contenir l'eau à pression très élevée dévalant 460 mètres de dénivelé jusqu'à la  Power House One. Tous les tuyaux de conduite forcée d'après la Première Guerre mondiale ont été fabriqués aux États-Unis.

Le premier bureau de poste ouvrit à Big Creek en 1912.

La moitié des maisons de la ville ont été détruites par l'incendie Creek fire de 2020.

Climate of Confusion
By Keith Orchison
By coincidence I have come across the new "Climate of the Nation" report from the strongly green-leaning Climate Institute on the same day I have been reading the latest Essential Report polling and just after looking at a pre-dawn snapshot of east coast market capacity on a pretty standard winter's day.
Taking the latter first, at 6.30am today 97.6 per cent of the New South Wales load was being met by black coal generation as the State's population was getting up and its substantial factory sector was gearing up. If you take NSW, Victoria and Queensland together – they represent 90 per cent of the east coast market – at this point 88.9 per cent of the three-State load was being met by brown and black coal generation with wind power providing 0.4 per cent and solar (naturally as the sun wasn't yet up) 0.04 per cent.
(Eight hours later, I see, at 2.30pm, black coal generation is still bearing 89.7 per cent of NSW load and coal is accounting for almost 82 per cent of required capacity in the three largest States of the market – with hydro power providing 7.5 per cent and wind/solar 4.3 per cent.)
The question that comes to my mind when I look at data like this is what would be required to replace even half this coal power (let alone all of it) with mostly wind power and solar PVs? What would the total system cost be in a set-up where supply is assured and how would this translate in to retail bills?
Despite all the stuff being thrown around in the public arena at present, this is still a substantially unanswered question. Lots of people have opinions, assertions abound but we still lack an independent, widely-accepted-as-credible modeling effort communicated in language the Averages can understand – and this despite the South Australia nuclear royal commission report telling us 13 months ago that "identifying whether a particular generation portfolio will deliver electricity at the lowest possible cost requires an analysis of the future cost of the system as a whole."
Indeed, one can read the Finkel report just released and see in it validation of the earlier royal commission declaration that "for those planning a future electricity system (and the market in which it will operate), the relevant issue is total systems cost, accounting for the cost of generation, connection, inter- and intra-regional expansion of transmission and distribution networks, and grid support costs."
But, without this being available in straightforward terms, how can the community at large and the body politic in particular (especially the CoAG Energy Council and the Turnbull cabinet's energy committee) come to a landing on a policy that will take us at least to 2030?
Modelling done for the Finkel task force, which inevitably is being challenged from left and right, tells us that its preferred approach (via a clean energy target, a topic already of furious political debate) would see a 2030 NEM generation mix that was 53 per cent coal-fired, five per cent reliant on gas, eight per cent on hydro power and 33 per cent on variable renewable generation (the other one per cent green power would be biomass).
Would this outcome satisfy the community as represented in the latest Essential Report poll (and which, of course, includes West Australian respondents and not just those living on the east coast, still less just those in the above-mentioned trio of States that are home to most consumers, household and residential and where most of the impact will fall)?
The Essential poll, taken 11 days after release of the Finkel report, sees 64 per cent of respondents supporting a preference for "more investment in renewable sources" (meaning what exactly?) – and, I can't resist pointing out, 18 per cent saying "don't know," the same number "preferring coal-fired power."
This poll also returns a preference, responding to the notion of a CET, by 41 per cent of respondents for a measure in which end-user price rises are limited to five per cent, falling to 21 per cent if the rise is 10 per cent and just eight per cent if it is 20 per cent.
Bear in mind in this context that the Finkel report doesn't suggest prices will drop under what it recommends but that they will be lower than they are likely to be if we continuing muddling along.
Now the "Climate of the Nation" report runs to 48 pages and you really need to read it all to get a picture of what it conveys – you can find it at www.climateinstitute.org.au.
Of course, the interesting (to me) information is well-padded with pejorative promotion of acceptance of climate change but this is only to be expected – green advocates are permanently in a fret that, as is acknowledged in the report, the climate issue is not top of mind for a community plagued by "hip pocket" problems. This bent shouldn't detract from the value of learning what views about today's policy game flow from such polling and from focus groups because this is the sort of feedback through their own party research that is influencing our political leaders.
What the Climate Institute asserts is that 96 per cent of Australians "want our primary source of energy" – they are talking about electric power and that's just 35 per cent of energy used in this country – to come from renewables. What this actually means, we are then told, is that 58 per cent of respondents want their power based on renewables supported by storage and 38 per cent want renewables "supported by fossil fuels."
The soundbite the institute wants to sell us is that "the public almost universally endorses transitioning our energy system to renewables." Why do peas and thimbles spring to my mind when I see stuff presented in this way?
The institute goes on to explain in the report text: concern that (an energy system dominated by renewables) "should be properly managed to minimize disruption" lies behind the 38 per cent believing fossil fuels should have a role "in the meantime."
Which makes me wonder how the respondents and the broad community would react to explanations in plain language from a credible source about the realistic power supply options the east coast has for the foreseeable period from now to around 2030?
By the way, I am interested to see buried in this report that nine per cent of those canvassed think nuclear energy should be Australia's main source of power. The boosters of nukes among my friends and acquaintances believe this number is higher and would be much more if the legal anathema of the technology was removed and it could be discussed on its merits.
Be that as it may, what remains lacking as the Turnbull government, then CoAG leaders and, sooner or later, the federal parliament grapple with next steps in energy and climate policy – I see the Grattan Institute's Tony Wood reminding us in an op-ed today that secure and reliable power at affordable prices can't happen without a credible, national climate change approach – is a community understanding of realistic electricity supply options presented in a form they can actually comprehend.
Until this happens, community perceptions will remain shrouded in a fog of confusion. There is no prospect I can see, under present circumstances, of it lifting any time soon.

Friends are very important to all of us. Second to a family, friends are persons we can count-on. Of course you can't tell your Mom how you ditched your guy when you caught him hooking-up with you room-mate, eww!!
So here's our list of 12 friends that should be on your circle. If you girls missing one, we advice to search and fill-in the missing box.
1) The friend who won't let you be less than your best, even if you sometimes wants to kick her.
2). The friend who's spent the holidays with your parents, gotten drunk with your brother and lived through the dog-spaying incident of '92. She's family.
3). The personal comedian, so hilarious that you dare not to call her while driving.
4). The friend who's a little bit evil - so entertaining!
5). A rich friend who will always buy you dinner.
6). A poor friend who'll let you buy hers.
7). The working friend: listener, knowing of backstory, saver of sanity.
8). The friend who you can't wait to be Golden Girls with.
9). The neighbor who'll lend you her drill - or a pair of red stilleto.
10). The friend who drags out of you all the sexual details you're secretly dying to share.
11). The friend who rafts the Amazon, gets a pet snake, and does speed dating - so you don't have to.
12). The friend who, instead of asking how she can help, just shows up and does.
"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
I don't want 12 friends, but one, who will be my real soulmate...Who will understand me without words and who will be 12-in-1!


Earlier this month Elisabeth Murdoch was appointed as a national council member of Arts Council England, an action that has met with widespread protests across social media.
LONDON — Whilst 2017 has seen a growth in the consciousness of unequal workplace practices in the art world and further afield, there is still much work to be done. Social media campaigns such as #metoo and #wearenotsurprised — which followed upon accusations of sexual harassment and abuse by film producer Harvey Weinstein and Artforum's co-publisher Knight Landesman — raised awareness of the difficulties faced by women in the arts and media. The complaints brought attention to issues of gender discrimination in these fields. There still remains, however, a mountain to climb in terms of addressing the interlocking issues of empowerment, especially when associated with class, gender, race and sexual orientation.
The appointment has met with widespread protests across social media due to Murdoch's power and influence in the media and her prior links to ACE's Director, Nicholas Serota. The decision to formally appoint Murdoch to her position was officially taken by the British secretary of state for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Karen Bradley. However, given Serota's prior appointment of Murdoch as a Tate Trustee between 2008 to 2016, and as a Chairman of the Tate Modern Advisory Council from 2009 to 2016, it seems likely that the former Tate Director played a role in her recruitment.
Serota's apparent disregard for conflicts of interest in selecting Murdoch to the role does not stop here. Elisabeth Murdoch is founder of the Freelands Group, an investment fund that comprises two non-profit bodies: Freelands Ventures and Freelands Foundation, which respectively give support to media, technology, and visual arts projects. The Freelands Foundation has given financial support to the Cornubian Arts and Science Trust (CAST ) an educational charity run by Serota's wife, Teresa Gleadowe. Murdoch has also in the past given donations to Tate, including a sum of at least one million pounds towards the extension of Tate Modern during Serota's tenure.
Following the appointment of Murdoch, alongside nine other council members, Serota made a statement that: "It is so important that boards address diversity in the process of recruiting new members," pointing both to the appointment of 24-year-old George Mpanga, a second generation Ugandan poet born in the UK, and the equal male-to-female ratio of the board. Yet this does not compensate for the disproportionate power Murdoch now yields within the art world or the conflict of interest presented by having her serve in what is effectively a managerial capacity on ACE, a public institution, whilst holding shares in both News Corp and 21st Century Fox, media companies with an explicitly right-wing, tax-avoidance, and low-public-spending agendas.
As a cultural worker and union activist, I am extremely concerned about Murdoch's appointment to a pubic body responsible for deciding cultural policy on a national level. Murdoch is currently the acceptable front for a family business famous for racism, sexism, xenophobia, and an opposition to workers' rights — in complete contrast to the values ACE claims to promote.
Serota himself is no stranger to scrutiny. In April this year it emerged that low-paid staff in the midst of pay disputes at Tate Modern had been asked via a letter posted to a notice board in a communal workspace to donate money for a leaving present for Serota as outgoing Tate director: a boat for his retirement. He had already secured his position as director of Art Council England prior to leaving his post and took with him a record jaded by controversies. To take one of many examples of the issues that undermine Serota's position, in 2005 Serota purchased £700,000 of work from Chris Ofili, one of 14 Tate-appointed trustees appointed by the UK prime minister to develop policy and set the strategic agenda for the Tate's galleries at the time, signaling a clear conflict of interest.
At the end of this past year in which the art world has appeared tenuously open to discussing inequality — at least on gender and race terms — it is time to question the seriousness of these apparently honorable intentions. Taking the powerful to account for unfair work practices within the art world will involve a serious look at the social composition and hierarchy of the art world. For now, a reversal of Elisabeth Murdoch's appointment would signal a serious commitment on the part of ACE to provide art and culture for all.

Lectrosonics Case Study
Setting industry standards through a commitment to quality and innovation has seen Lectrosonics establish a well-respected reputation for wireless microphones and audio processing products throughout the film, broadcast and live production industries.

Setting industry standards through a commitment to quality and innovation has seen Lectrosonics establish a well-respected reputation for wireless microphones and audio processing products throughout the film, broadcast and live production industries. Pushing boundaries and delivering ground-breaking technology for mission-critical applications is nothing new for Lectrosonics and the launch of its new Duet digital wireless Monitor (IEM) System, which includes Densitron's full colour TFT displays marks yet another significant step in bringing cutting-edge, modern-day technology into its latest 'in ear' audio monitoring solutions.
For Derek Jasnoch, Electronic Design Engineer at Lectrosonics, it was essential that the advanced audio technology of the Duet's M2T dual-stereo half-rack transmitter station unit was complimented by an up to date, full colour intuitive display that would offer a simple, yet highly visual user interface.
anchor plugin"Making the departure from the traditional simple functionality of monochrome visuals to full colour, high resolution displays was a key requisite," explains Derek. "Not only that, we wanted to ensure our highly advanced audio equipment was supported by a modern and enhanced operator experience that would reflect our new best-in-class wireless monitoring solution."
Derek and the Lectrosonic team wanted to replicate the consumer's ease and familiarity of high quality colour graphics used extensively in smartphones, tablets and electronic devices in its latest technical offering. "We have all come to expect quality colour displays in the gadgets we use in our everyday lives, so it made perfect sense to replicate this in our latest production equipment to significantly improve operator experience for the sound engineers," continues Derek.
With a reputation for quality and reliability, Lectrosonics sought a partner that it could rely on to provide a top class full colour display offering exceptional visual clarity. In addition, due to the varied nature of live performances, concerts, touring bands and open-air productions, they needed a display that would be fully readable in a wide range of conditions, from darker backstage environments to the challenges of working in direct sunlight for outside broadcasts.
"Having worked with Densitron's monochrome displays for several years, and always found them to be robust and reliable we were confident that their products would perform to the highest standards we needed. In addition, the ongoing support and advice from the Densitron team ensured we had access to their latest display technology and undertook several tests for us to demonstrate its performance in a range of challenging working environments. The wide viewing angles, high contrast, clarity and visual impact of the TFT colour displays were just what we were looking for, and have contributed significantly to the modern look and feel of our latest wireless IEM monitor solution."
Concludes Derek, "When we embarked on the development of the 'Duet' wireless monitor IEM solution, we had a clear goal in mind – to offer the very best audio and sound monitoring solution with a user interface that would reflect its superior quality and leading edge technology, and this meant migrating to colour."
"Thanks to the Densitron colour TFT displays, we have been able to launch the industry's first ever solution offering full colour displays and graphics. From the interest and reaction we have received to date, we believe this highly visual style of user interface will be the way forward and will eventually become commonplace in future audio production technologies."

Mr. X: The Golf Life
Undercover Tour Pro: Phil Mickelson Uncensored
Why I changed my mind about Phil
The PGA Tour arranges our lockers in alphabetical order. Week in and week out, you're changing your shoes and unpacking your bags next to the same handful of guys. My best friends are mostly my peers, guys who were rookies when I was a rookie, but inevitably I've become chummy with the fellas whose last names start with letters close to mine. With one notable exception: Phil Mickelson and I aren't friends. Outside the two rounds we've played together, we haven't spoken two words to one another.
The first time Phil and I were paired, it was pretty late on a Sunday. We were both in the hunt. The conditions were tough, windy, and Phil was all smiles on the first tee. As he shakes my hand he says in that super-duper-friendly voice, "OK, hey, how's it going? Let's have a good day. All right."
The entire round Phil talked about himself. Stories from tournaments he'd played in, trips he'd taken with his family, random facts he'd recently read about obscure topics. Not once did he ask if I had a family, or where I lived, or what tournament I was playing next. However, Phil's caddie, Jim Mackay, happens to be one of the most personable guys out here. Bones talks like he genuinely wants to get to know you. It's like he picks up the slack for Phil.
Truth is, I wasn't much of a conversationalist that day, either, because I was grinding hard. I didn't win the tournament, but I did beat Phil by a shot.
The second time I played with Phil was two years later. Same deal. If he wasn't telling us some incredible story or his plan to solve the world's oil crisis, he was walking down the fairway like the mayor, giving the crowd a thumbs up every hole and practically kissing babies as part of his pre-shot routine.
I forget what I shot, but Phil went low and cut me by quite a few. In the scoring trailer, I'm checking my card when I feel this bump in my ribs. I look over, and it's Phil nudging me. With a big grin, he says, "I guess that makes us even now."
He remembered that I'd beaten him. The dude's played over 2,000 rounds out here. I'm not exactly an A-lister, so that surprised me. Pretty cool moment.
Phil definitely rubs some players the wrong way, and I used to be in this camp. But my opinion has changed. I think any ill will toward him is simply rooted in jealousy. Some players just don't want to believe anyone could be that talented, good-looking, rich and polite, with a beautiful wife and three great kids. He's probably sacrificed some time having locker-room camaraderie with the boys in favor of building his brand. The players who are close to him say they've never seen his wrong side. Not once. Never snapped at a volunteer, never stiffed a waiter, never been small in any of the ways most humans are now and again. I think every day he and Amy work hard at doing the right thing, whether the cameras are rolling or not. It's a conscious choice.
If a person makes an effort to smile when he's not feeling happy, does that make him a phony? I don't think so. Constantly making the effort to be the person he is, signing autographs until dusk, always carving time to speak with sponsors and giving it his full attention—that's why Phil earns every dollar of the $50 million or so sponsors pay him each year.
Phil likes playing the role of mentor, so that's why you'll see him playing practice rounds with guys like Rickie Fowler and Keegan Bradley. I've been on tour over a decade, and so he probably doesn't have much time for a guy like me. I get it.

Deloitte: Back-to-school shopping trends include early start, shift to mass merchants
Retailers who wait until late summer this year to launch back-to-school deals are only hurting themselves, because early shoppers will spend more than late starters.
That's according to Deloitte's "2017 Back-to-School Survey," which also detected a big shift in where back-to-school will be shopping this year. One thing that hasn't changed: In-store still prevails.
Sixty-percent of back-to-school shoppers plan to hit stores by the end of July, spending an average of $532, which is 16% higher than the remaining 40% of parents who will start shopping in August or later, according to Deloitte. Those later shoppers are projected to spend only about $458 per student.
Deloitte, which polled 1,200 parents of school-aged children in grades K – 12, found that shoppers expect to spend an average $501 per student on back-to-school this year, on par with last year. The total spend is expected to hit an estimated $27 billion.
The survey revealed a shift in where parents will be doing their back-to-school shopping. The majority of survey respondents (81%) plan to shop at mass merchants, a 24% increase over last year. Off-price stores also gained fans, climbing to 28% from 10% in 2016.
Department stores and specialty apparel stores, however, are losing favor. Twenty-eight percent of respondents plan to shop traditional department stores this back-to-school season, down significantly from 54% last year. And only 8% of parents plan to visit specialty clothing stores, falling from 25% in 2016.
The survey also picked up a shift in the type of goods parents are buying this back-to-school season. Clothing and accessories are expected to account for 55% of families' spending this year – up 10% from last year – mostly at the expense of school supplies and computers.
"With today's technology-based education system there is less need for traditional school supplies, likely contributing to the shift toward more spending on clothing and accessories before children head back to school," said Rod Sides, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. retail, wholesale and distribution practice leader. "Part of this shift may also come from the popularity of preconfigured school supply kits, which 30 percent of families plan to use."
Deloitte recommends that retailers make an effort to target the "undecided" back-to-school shopper – shoppers who don't know whether they will shop online or in-store. Such shoppers are more likely to choose retailers that offer free shipping (68%), buy online and return to store (52%), and offer loyalty programs that provide faster or cheaper discounts when shopping online (49%), the study found.
"Retailers should aggressively pursue the 'undecided' consumer because they collectively represent nearly $5.4 billion this back-to-school shopping season," Sides said. "This segment is up for grabs but likely to go to retailers that draw customers in early with promotions and digital experiences that make store visits even more attractive, like inventory visibility, order tracking or buy online/pick up in store."

Like the previous Pebble Beach invite I worked on for the Petersen Museum, this invite was designed to incite interest in the museum's renovation. This year, the plans for the museum were much further along, with interior renderings available, so I created a very literal invite in to the new museum. The gate fold worked perfectly with the front doors of the museum.
On top of that, because of the prestige of the event I had a larger budget to play with and worked with the printer to use an iridescent, golden card stock that was a pleasure to touch.

"Colegio Hispanoamericano Conde Ansúrez" was founded in 1959 in Bogotá by three Spanish educators, Mateo Matamala Mateo, José Manuel Macias Payo and Prudencio Gonzalez Tejerina. The institute is named after Count (in Spanish, "Conde") Pedro Ansúrez (d. 1117), believed to be the founder and first lord of Valladolid, recalling that the founders of the institute were born in Valladolid.
The flag of the institute is shown on photos taken during sports events in 2008 as blue with a red ascending diagonal stripe.
The symbols' page of the website of the institute shows the flag with the badge of the website applied in the middle, but this does not seem to match the real flag. The flag represents the integration of colours of the Spanish (red) and Colombian (blue) flags. Blue represents the ocean the founders of the institute have crossed through their new homeland.

"Escuela Normal Superior de Convención" was founded on 16 March 1918 by Departmental Decree No. 7 in Convención (Norte del Santander Department). The institute is managed by the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation, a congregation founded in 1695 by Marie Poussepin (1653-1744).
The flag of the institute, as shown graphically and described on the institute's website, is horizontally divided white-blue. White represents Mary's purity, to be accomplished by the students as the daughters of the Presentation. White also represents loyalty and honesty in a true and fair environment. Blue represents the cloak of Mary, the queen and mother of the Presentation, her kindness, her modesty and her commitment in heavens.

FITECDECOM ("Fundación Instituto Technologico Cooperativo de COOMULTRASAN") was created on 31 March 1990 in Bucaramanga by the Assembly of the Delegates of the Multitask Workers' Cooperative of Santander (COOMULTRASAN) and recognized by the Ministry of National Education on 2 January 1992 (Decree No. 005). Its four original programs were Technology and Systems, Entrepreneurial Administration, International Trade, and Office Management, to which were added, in 1997, Technology in Finance Management, Advertising, and Food Industry. The name of the institute was changed in 1997 to "Tecnologica FITEC".
The flag of FITEC is shown graphically on the FITEC website. The flag is blue with a white right-angle triangle bordered in red, placed along the hoist and charged with the left part of the logo of FITEC, and a horizontal red stripe outlined in white placed near the bottom of the flag.

In the site they say that the flag is green and brown.

Universidad de Córdoba was established in 1962 in Montería by Departmental Ordinance No. 6 and officially registered in 1964 by Governmental Decree No. 319. Law No. 37 of 3 August 1966 conferred to the university the status of Decentralized Autonomous Entity. However, the university was firmly established only in 1970, after approval by the State Council. The foundation of the university is credited to the bacteriologist Elías Bechara Zainúm (1920-2013), who pushed the project and was appointed first director of the university in March 1964. Classes started on 6 April 1964 in rooms provided by Colegio Nacional José María Córdoba, with two Faculties (Agronomy; Veterinary and Zootechnical Medicine) and one School (Topography). The university was relocated in 1968 in the New York estate, which had been purchased in 1965. The university is now made of eight Faculties: Education and Humanities, Veterinary and Zootechnical Medicine, Engineering, Basic Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Health Sciences, and Economical Sciences
The flag of the university is horizontally divided green-coffee brown. Green represents the prosperous growth of vegetal species, and, as far as cattle is concerned, of the species improved by scientific intervention. Coffee brown represents the fertility of the soil.

The flag of Escuela Normal Superior de Corozal (Sucre Department), in dimensions 0.90 m x 1.80 m, is horizontally divided emerald green-pearl white-red.
The green stripe is a symbol of hope of the educationalists in a better future.
The white stripe is a symbol of balance, justice, impartiality and purity, which are epic attributes of a good teacher; it also evokes the well-deserved nickname of "Pearl of Savannah" awarded to Corozal.
The red stripe is a symbol of the great fervor and devotion that characterize the students.

I am not exactly sure about its design. Based on pictures, it seems that flag has diagonal stripes.

I guess the flag has diagonal stripes, but I haven't seen any further information, so for now.

Lenders have taken control of Yellow Pages owner Hibu in a restructuring deal that will leave nothing for shareholders but aims to save jobs. Hibu's fall from grace came after it expanded too rapidly during the last decade only to see its business model of listing local small businesses undermined by more generic online search engines such as Google.
Seven months after bringing its flagship cross-device and audience retargeting products to market, Drawbirdge has launched a new mobile retargeting product that enables marketers to target existing users based on a previous activity – say, an app download – as they move across apps, mobile web, and desktop browsers.
Uber, the ride-logistics startup, could be valued at up to $3.5 billion in a new funding round led by TPG Capital, said multiple sources close to the discussions, which are ongoing but advanced. In recent weeks, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick hasn't been particularly discreet about his company's fundraising efforts, which sources said could bring the company more than $100 million in investment funds for use in expansion of its offerings.
Local listing sites have mushroomed in recent years, sending local businesses scurrying to get their digital houses in order. In a Street Fight webinar Thursday sponsored by YP, David Mihm of Moz, and YP's Deepak Thakral discussed the growing impact of listings in local search, and outlined a handful of first steps that local businesses can take to improve their presence online.
The last two investments of his Revolution Growth fund — $23.5 million in Lanham-based Optoro and $40 million in Austin-based Bigcommerce — drive that point home. The former AOL chief is building up a substantial portfolio of companies looking to reshape retail. And he hasn't written off (literally or figuratively) his original local commerce bet: LivingSocial Inc., despite its recent troubles.
Apple has been tinkering with ways to make the iPhone better at managing battery life intelligently based on usage pattern, a new patent filing published by the USPTO today (spotted by AppleInsider) reveals. The application describes a system that learns your habits, evaluates how much power is needed between your usual charges and does everything it can to keep the phone running when you're away from power sources.
Seamless was spun out from Aramark, took $50 million in financing from Spectrum Equity Investors and aggressively moved into the consumer market through a mix of advertising, app updates and acquisitions. Now, Seamless has more than two million customers ordering takeout from 12,000 restaurants in more than 40 cities. The company generated $85 million in revenue in 2012, thanks to a 60% increase in its consumer business from the previous year, and the company expects to top $100 million this year.
Oreal has teamed up with Walgreens and Duane Reade locations in Manhattan for a mobile coupon campaign aimed at solving mobile advertising's fundamental problem: Connecting mobile ads to real-world purchases.

Q: WPF SizeChanged event doesn't fire This is a bit of a noob question.
Basically, I have a grid MainGridin my WPF window
I'd simply like to be notified when the  MainGridis resized ( when user maximizes/resizes the window).
This does nothing at the moment. Am I supposed to declare and then add this SizeChanged event earlier before it will work?
private void MainGrid_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            MyTextBox.Text = "MainGrid resized";
        }

Thank you

A: If you have your event in code-behind and this in XAML:
<Grid SizeChanged="MainGrid_SizeChanged">

it will work.

The Wormwood Event
A Tale of Apocalyptic Eldritch Horror
By: J. M. Guillen
Narrated by: Klahr Thorsen
Grace believed she was going to be a computer programmer someday and perhaps create programs that educate children or save lives. She never thought she would be fleeing for her life from her roommate. She also never thought that her roommate would be a ragged, undead monstrosity that had clawed out her own eyes. Sometimes, life takes odd turns. The turn in Grace's life came the night of the Wormwood Star, when the dead awoke and twisted aberrations began to walk the land. As technology and sanity began to corrode, all of civilization collapsed.
A very, very short introductory teaser to the irra
By Jason on 04-17-19
I liked the story and the concepts. I think Mr, Guillen does a fine job setting up his apocalypse and throwing his characters into it screaming. I would have liked a little more secondary character development. Actually I would have liked a little more build on Grace's character too, but this is so short there really isn't time for much more. I'm hoping the characters and the story get more time in subsequent works.
Narrator was pretty good, but I really did not enjoy the audio effect when she uttered the unspeakable names. It really just sounded cheap and was pretty annoying.
The groundwork is laid. The numbers remain to be calculated. Overall, an enjoyable little taste to begin the end of all things.
The X-Files: Cold Cases
By: Joe Harris, Chris Carter, Dirk Maggs - adaptation
Narrated by: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi, and others
Based upon the graphic novels by Joe Harris - with creative direction from series creator Chris Carter - and adapted specifically for the audio format by aural auteur Dirk Maggs ( The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Alien: Out of the Shadows), Cold Cases marks yet another thrilling addition to the pantheon of X-Files stories. Featuring a mind-blowing and otherworldly soundscape of liquefying aliens, hissing creatures, and humming spacecraft, listeners get to experience the duo's investigations like never before.

I still want to believe.
As a fan of the X-Files I was pretty excited for this book, unfortunately for me it didn't live up to my expectations. I liked the full cast recording but felt the story was lacking.
Some of the actors did a great job with their parts others felt mailed in and wooden. The music and special effects were top notch and really helps set the mood.
The concept of going back to cold cases from the X-Files seems like a good idea and should have made a very interesting story, but it really just ended up feeling like a quick and cheap rehash of old plotlines that had already been used.
Overall I thought this audiobook was okay. I would have liked a little more depth to the story and a little more consistent voice acting but it was fun to revisit that room in the FBI basement with Mulder and Scully.
The truth is still out there.

A Flavia de Luce Novel
By: Alan Bradley
Narrated by: Jayne Entwistle
In spite of being ejected from Miss Bodycote's Female Academy in Canada, 12-year-old Flavia de Luce is excited to be sailing home to England. But instead of a joyous homecoming, she is greeted on the docks with unfortunate news: Her father has fallen ill, and a hospital visit will have to wait while he rests. But with Flavia's blasted sisters and insufferable cousin underfoot, Buckshaw now seems both too empty - and not empty enough.
Jayne Entwistle Brings Flavia to Life
By GSDNH on 09-29-16
This is Flavia at her finest.
Alan Bradley delivers one of his best stories of Flavia DeLuce yet. Jayne Entwistle's performance is perfect. The only negative thing I can say is that I'm crushed to have to wait for the next book to find out what happens next to young Flavia.
Weaveworld
By: Clive Barker
Clive Barker has made his mark on modern fiction by exposing all that is surreal and magical in the ordinary world - and exploring the profound and overwhelming terror that results. With its volatile mix of the fantastical and the contemporary, the everyday and the otherworldly, Weaveworld is an epic work of dark fantasy and horror - a tour de force from one of today's most forceful and imaginative artists.
By gina on 07-14-17
Ah, but what price Wonderland?
One of my favorites! Raw and dark fantasy from Clive Barker. A great story and wonderful narration by Mr. Simon Vance. Maybe not as polished as some of Barker's other works, but a grand modern fairytale nonetheless. Epic in scale and weight.

Q: SOLR : Logging Bad Requests I cant seem to figure out how to make Solr log all bad resuests - Basically whenever a bad URL comes in, say, a request on a requesthandler that does not exist like qt=unknownhandler, I need to log it.
I can see the Solr startup logs and exception logs in my log file, but NOT the bad requests.
Im logging using JDK4 java.util.Logging and solr uses slf4j and slf4j-jdk internally, My tomcat_dir/conf/logging.properties looks like this:
5SOLR.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = ALL
5SOLR.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
5SOLR.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = SOLR.

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/solr].level = ALL
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/solr].handlers = 5SOLR.org.apache.juli.FileHandler

and I have added 5SOLR.org.apache.juli.FileHandler to the set of handlers. Why is it that I CANNOT see the Bad requests, while I CAN see these kind of logs :
Sep 7, 2011 12:49:04 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart
FINE: Sending application start events
Sep 7, 2011 12:49:04 PM org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession readObject
FINE: readObject() loading session C8A52B935A03A78BEC4A799119A79B49
Sep 7, 2011 12:49:04 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext filterStart
FINE: Starting filters
Sep 7, 2011 12:49:04 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext filterStart
FINE:  Starting filter 'SolrRequestFilter'

A: you can see all requests send to your server in access log.
just comment out AccessLogValve in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml.
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
           prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>

There is no way to logging 4xx request, but hack source code as following description.
remove test code condition in org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.java *sendError* method.
protected void sendError(HttpServletResponse res, Throwable ex) throws IOException {
  int code=500;
  String trace = "";
  if( ex instanceof SolrException ) {
    code = ((SolrException)ex).code();
  }

  // For any regular code, don't include the stack trace
  if( code == 500 || code < 100 ) {
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    ex.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(sw));
    trace = "\n\n"+sw.toString();

    SolrException.logOnce(log,null,ex );

    // non standard codes have undefined results with various servers
    if( code < 100 ) {
      log.warn( "invalid return code: "+code );
      code = 500;
    }
  }
  res.sendError( code, ex.getMessage() + trace );
}

after compile, you need put your new apache-solr-core-*.jar to WEB-INF/lib, and restart your web container. you will see all of errors like below.

As the name "pentatricopeptide repeat" describes, the PPR class of RNA-binding proteins are classified by the existence of tandem degenerate PPR motif sequences which have approximately 35 amino acids, and any number of repeats. The repeated motif sequences interact with an RNA binding site.
aPPRove takes as input a PPR protein (primary structure), one or more RNA transcripts or binding footprints, and outputs the binding sites that have highest statistical significance, and how the nucleic acids in the RNA aligned to the amino acid pairs (defined by positions 6 and 1') in the PPR sequence for each binding. The statistical significance is based on the significance of the alignment in comparison to random alignments of the PPR to a database of transcripts. aPPRove harnesses the code Barkan et al and implements a tailored hidden Markov algorithm to determine a score of each possible binding. aPPRove can be used to locate how and where a PPR protein belonging to the PLS subfamily.
A list of aPPRoves w hits along the transcript which include their score and adjusted p-value.
A list of aPPRoves w hits among all provided transcripts which include their score and adjusted p-value.

CINEMA AUTOPSY
Film reviews, criticism and discussion by Thomas Caldwell
Notes on film: Imitation of Life
12 October 2008 Thomas Caldwell Essay Comments Off on Notes on film: Imitation of Life
"It's a sin to be ashamed of what you are."
Director Douglas Sirk is now recognised as one of the great masters of Hollywood cinema. His reputation as an innovative storyteller and commander of great visuals is significantly due to his final Hollywood film, Imitation of Life, which was a massive success upon its original release and is still now recognised as one of the defining examples of melodrama. As well as being visually rich in colour detail, it is a genuinely moving film and an important example of covert subversive filmmaking since it contains a very strong anti-racist message at a time when racial segregation was still very much alive in the USA. What has become Sirk's trademark use of colour, heightened emotions and sly social critique has influenced generations of later filmmakers.
Douglas Sirk had Danish parents but was born in Germany and later moved back to Germany from Denmark as a teenager. Sirk began his career working in theatre and film during Germany's Weimar Republic but like so many other filmmakers in Germany at the time, he left for Hollywood when the Nazis seized power. Sirk found his niche with lush melodramas that were hugely popular at the time but critically ignored and dismissed as "weepies" or "women's films". Critical opinion about Sirk has since dramatically changed and four films that he made in the 1950s are now deservedly recognised as brilliant exercises in irony. These films are All That Heaven Allows (1955), Written on the Wind (1956), The Tarnished Angels (1958) and Imitation of Life (1959).
The melodrama film examined conflict within the home, often with an emphasis on gender roles. These films contained very obvious characters, were full of sentiment and contrivances and sought to illicit an emotional response from the audience rather than challenge them intellectually. Stylistically they were frequently over-the-top with bold colours, sweeping musical scores, dramatic acting and stories about emotional anguish, love affairs that go wrong, unrequited love and life threatening situations. These are also the trademarks of soap-opera television but to dismiss many of these original melodramas as mere soap-operas would miss the carefully concealed symbolism, irony and social critique that Sirk carefully placed within his films.
Imitation of Life is certainly a great example of melodramatic mise-en-scene where everything within the film is excessive. The colours boldly indicate the emotional state of the characters, the music is suitably sweeping to clearly indicate the emotional response required from the audience and the themes of love, death, social standing, loose morals and heartbreak are all standards of the genre. But what makes Imitation of Life so interesting is the subversive and ironic touches that Sirk includes. Imitation of Life was originally a popular but unremarkable romantic potboiler novel by Fannie Hurst. Director JM Stahl first made it into a film in 1934 and by the time Sirk brought it to the screen for the second time, the story had been stripped down to the basic skeleton of Hurst's original novel.
Sirk's key change was to give more emphasis to the African American component of the story. While Lora's story dominates the first half of the film, it seems almost trivial by the second half of the film when the Annie and Sarah Jane story dominates. Lana Turner, who had been a huge star in the 1940s and early 1950s and who had recently been in the headlines at the time due to a murder scandal, played Lora. Susie as a teenager was played by popular teen-star Sandra Dee. Nevertheless through close-ups and emotive dialogue Sirk gives the most poignant moments in the film to unknown actors Juanita Moore and Susan Kohner who respectively play Annie and Sarah Jane as a teenager. Moore and Kohner were both nominated for Academy Awards for their powerful performances. Their scenes together are the emotional highpoints of the film.
Imitation of Life also contains several subtle moments of passive and unintentional racism, such as Sarah Janes's roommate assuming that Annie is the maid and Lora confessing that she had no idea that Annie had so many friends. A nice ironic touch towards the end of the film is when Annie reveals that she has always owned a mink coat while earlier in the film Lora was offered one as a loan so that she could appear in public within the upper social circles. Despite the fact that a major theme of the film is public performance and Lora's dream is to be an actor, the only performing depicted in the film by Lora is her brief audition piece. This contrasts to the lengthy funeral scene at the film's climax where everybody who appears in the film is present. While the typical gushy melodramatic music is present throughout Imitation of Life, the funeral hymn is the emotional climax of the film.
While the title Imitation of Life on the surface seems to be referring to the artificiality of Lora's glamorous career that takes her away from her daughter, the title is perhaps more of a sly comment on how racism in 1950s America denied African American people the life that white people took for granted. Sarah Janes' self loathing at being African American and having an obviously black mother also leads her into an imitation of life as she estranges herself from Annie in order to pass as white and therefore not have to suffer the indignities of discrimination.
Sirk's subversive use of the excesses of melodrama have established him as one of the most significant directors to have worked in Hollywood, even if he was not recognised as such at the time. His legacy has influenced several filmmakers since, including John Waters, Pedro Almodóvar and François Ozon. Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (Angst essen Seele auf) and Todd Haynes's Far from Heaven (2002) are direct tributes that explicitly explore many of the issues that Sirk covertly confronted within the constraints of the time.
