Bake Like Lara Jean: Recipes From 'To All The Boys'
Do you love Lara Jean's outfits? Then you've come to the right place!
When To All The Boys I've Loved Before first came out we were obsessed with Lara Jean's style. In fact we were so obsessed we put together a little guide on how to dress like Lara Jean. So of course we had to do one for To All The Boys: P.S I Still Love You!
Here's how to recreate Lara Jean's outfits in To All the Boys: P.S I Still Love You.
Lara Jean's Style In To All The Boys 2
The Costume Designer for To All The Boys: P.S I Still Love You, Lorraine Carson, but a lot of thought into Lara Jean's style choices.
"Lara Jean has become an iconic character, but we wanted to enhance upon the last film while keeping a sense of reality to her closet. She's a teenager, so she didn't go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. We wanted each item of clothing to be something that could've been somewhere in the various piles of clothing in her bedroom. So a lot of what we did was a mix of vintage and contemporary — something a teenager could afford."
Lara Jean's fashion sense is part of what made her unique, so it's only natural for her wardrobe and tastes to grow and expand along with her. "That was our challenge," says Carson. "To create a look that was still youthful and sweet, but less baby doll. So we started to create a silhouette — where she's in clothing that's more fitted. We took her out of chunky boots and put her into heels, but kept the heels chunky so it was still very much in line with the LJ personality."
Lara Jean's Red Dress
There are three standout outfits that Lara Jean wears in the film.
The first is a red Rebecca Vallance dress that Lara Jean wears on her first official date with Peter. "I just love that dress," says To All The Boys author Jenny Han. "She looks like a present."
We tracked down the exact dress that Lara Jean wears: it's the Bow-embellished cloqué mini dress and it's currently half-price on The Outnet.com. Don't walk, run!!
Lara Jean's Valentines Day Dress
The Chain of Hearts dress that Lara Jean wears on Valentine's Day is made by HVN, the dress was already two seasons old when filming began and the only remaining one in Lana Condor's size had to be purchased on a resale website out of Paris. It was too bright for the film's HD cameras, however, so Carson teched the fabric — a dye technique she acquired from her days working in theater — gradually increasing the level of pink in the dress in order to prevent it from blanching on screen.
The result, which is paired with red patent lace up heels from Gravity Pope, is the perfect pale pink Valentine's Day dress of every girl's dreams.
The exact dress isn't currently available but we found a few similar ones below, and a few dresses that are very like Lara Jean's taste in clothes.
Lara Jean's Stunning Gown
Lara Jean wears a seafoam green J. Mendel dress as she has her Cinderella moment, descending the staircase at Belleview.
Carson shortened the dress by a tier to "allow LJ to dance, do snow angels, and run in the snow." She then wrapped the extra fabric around the shoulders, creating a look reminiscent of a 1950s cocktail dress, and paired it with gold Aldo shoes.
Everything We Know About "The Summer I Turned Pretty"
It's very hard to find a seafoam green dress, and let's face it, the original is totally out of our budget, but we found a number of gorgeous blue dresses that we're sure Lara Jean would love!
Lara Jean's Casual Style
One of the other stand-out outfits that Lara Jean wears in TATBILB2 is when she goes to volunteer at Belleview and reunites with John Ambrose.
She wears her trademark coat, chunky boots and a very cute pair of tweed shorts. Not to mention an eye-catching shirt embellished shirt.
We didn't mange to find a pair of tweed shorts, but we did find a stunning tweed playsuit. Later in the movie Lara Jean wears a tweed top when she's in class with Peter, it looks like it matches the shorts – Lara Jean sure does know how to mix and match clothes! The playsuit it a great choice to copy Lara Jean's style, as you can wear it on it's own or pair it with a grey jumper and embellished collar.
If you're looking for a coat like Lara Jean's we found one from ASOS.
Another Lara jean signature is her bow earrings. We found a similar pair from Olivia Burton.

Ditch your trailer. That is Julian's advice to parents who want to ride with young children. You may wonder what type of Kool-Aid Julian is drinking, but you have to listen to a guy who can transport four kids on a bicycle.
NOTE: Julian points out that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants not ride on adult bikes until one year of age, when they can safely wear a helmet and have adequate neck and trunk control.
That said, how long did he wait? 7 weeks, with an infant car seat in a trailer, and then his custom MADSEN infant seat with head/neck support.
Julian started commuting on a RANS Rocket recumbent during med school at the University of California, San Francisco; during his residency at Seattle Children's Hospital, fatigue turned Julian into a fair weather commuter. Today, he commutes year-round on a Dutch bike or Globe city bike daily between Ballard and the U. District. The UW Medical Center provides an indoor bike cage and showers – although Julian prefers the endless supply of baby wipes at his pediatric clinic.
Julian is also a fan of "ridiculous bike lights." His favorites are Rock The Bike's Down Low Glow and MonkeyLectric's spinning Monkey lights – a 32 full color LED-ensemble for your spokes. Stylish and safe, given how many car-bike collisions are broadsides.
Diagnosed with Obsessive-Cycling Disorder, Julian started a blog called www.TotCycle.com where families with similar conditions can share information. You can find a wealth of information on TotCycle.com, including the next monthly Kidical Mass – a fun, safe, easy-going family bike ride for kids of all ages.
Julian joined Cascade Bicycle Club to support its education work in schools, and its advocacy work. Julian worked with Sustainable Ballard and Friends of the Burke-Gilman on a rally for the Missing Link. He has also attended a Ride Leader Certification session and hopes to lead tot rides for the Club in the future.
What's the largest haul Julian has accomplished on any of his cargo bikes? He humbly claims that carrying a 6' Christmas tree from St. Alphonsus Parish was just an obligatory bike blog photo op. "The MADSEN is an epic grocery getter. My largest run to-date is $211 worth of Trader Joe's." I don't ask if that weighs more or less than four kids in the bucket seat of a MADSEN.
If you are interested in family cargo biking, Julian recommends Aaron's Bicycle Repair in West Seattle and Dutch Bike Seattle in Ballard, as well as Clever Cycles in Portland.
The next Cascade Ride Leader Training is scheduled for March.
Scott Marlow was marketing director for Cascade Bicycle Club from 2001-2005. The Club record-holder for the shortest commute (under six seconds), Marlow works from his home office in West Seattle. Nominate a cyclist of the month.
It took all of 36 hours to pay back our investment in the web site upgrade. We are receiving a new contract next week. Thank you, Scott.


An article in Foreign policy highlights how contractors behind schedule are taking advantage of lax labor laws and coercing their employees to bring their children to work alongside them, promising payments of bread and milk.
1. India has very weak enforcement of child labour laws. In fact, it is preferable to not working or prostitution.
2. This week, the High Court of Delhi began cracking down on the national government over alleged failures to provide legally mandated benefits to workers involved with the construction of venues related to the games.
3. At construction sites, laborers are making well below the standard minimum wage, and working children receive nothing but a single meal.
4. Almost half of the city's homeless shelters have been destroyed in order to clean up the city and clear room for infrastructure, putting over 100,000 onto the streets in the middle of winter.
DELHI HAS got a new police official ROBOCOP who is very much in news these days. With the Commonwealth Games round the corner and reports of constant terror threats, ROBOCOP is the new Mini Remote Operating Vehicles (MROV) that will help commandos in a hostage situation and even defuse bombs.
Canada based ICOR Technology manufactured robot, ROBOCOP can not only trace the explosive but lift it and put it in a Total Containment Vehicle (TCV), which is used for defusing bombs. This way, bomb squad personnel will not have to expose themselves to the explosives.
MROV has a robotic arm with a 5 degree movement including a turret, shoulder, elbow, wrist and claw joint. It can lift approximately 20 kgs and drag up to 130 kgs. The caliber T5 robot are used by Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams across the world and can also drag injured people to safety, climb stairs and negotiate rocky terrain. It has a maximum speed of 8 km /hr.

beIN SPORTS's tweet - "A stunning admission from José Mourinho - The infamous laundry basket story was true! Here's how he got away with it... #beINMourinho #beINPL "
Great story 😂 He tells it well!
#Mourinho with a great anecdote here from when he circumvented the #uefa Champions League ban against Bayern during his first spell as #cfc boss.
Kapitalna historyjka o słynnym koszu, w którym schował się Mourinho.
"Wokół byli ludzie, którzy koniecznie chcieli mnie znaleźć, więc Stuart [magazynier] zamknął wieko. Nie mogłem oddychać, umierałem. Mówię serio".
LMAO!! I'm in tears! 😂 Hilarious story from José when he was at Chelsea and the kit man hid him inside the basket! 😂 Amazing!
I have developed a soft spot for this man in the 1 year.
Have heard this one before. It's an absolute belter.
Like a burden has been lifted.
What a man. Looks well too.
Love Mourinho. His teams play shite but he still wins stuff and he's a character, very few left these days.
Frank Lampard stuck his fingers in his ears for everything Mourinho said that half time out of honesty and respect for the opponent.
Mourinho can still be fascinating to listen to when he drops his defences & let's his natural wit & personality show. Shame the pressures of the job at @ManUtd seldom allowed that. Wish him well.
No. It's not true. Frank Lampard said so. Another lie from Frankie boy.
Classic Jose; he needs to find this side of himself again!
Jose and the laundry basket.
Lmao. I hate him but we do need characters like him in football!
Where was this Mourinho at United?!!!
Best thing I've heard 😂😂 what a man!
You can see how bad Keys is at his job here. Mourinho is willing to tell the story and he just wants to lick his arse instead of asking him. Then Mourinho takes it upon himself to tell it anyway.
Dette er vel verdt samtlige millionar han får for å stille opp!
That was peak Mourinho. Wish we had gotten that version of him.
Lo odio pero lo que cuenta acá es increíble. Chelsea - Bayern Múnich. Misma sanción que Gallardo de no poder estar en el vestuario. Encuentra una solución: esconderse en la canasta de la ropa sucia.
Lovely to see Jose so happy and smiling, talking about being in a laundry basket ...so cute. Such a pity he was an absolute waster at Utd this season, such a miserable whinebag!
Thats why he is the special one ☝.
What's the context here? Was he serving a ban at the time?
Yeah, ok, this is funny. Just ignore Keys and Gray.
😂😂😂 quality. I can't not like him!
Nå kan jeg endelig være fan av Mourinho igjen. For en mann!
🤣🤣🤣 قصة مورينيو لما دخل "صندوق الغسيل"
There's only one José Mourinho!

Market in Bangladesh Photo: IFPRI/Md Shamsul Alam
Bangladesh, one of the world's most densely populated countries, is located on a low-lying delta, vulnerable to various weather-related hazards. Despite these challenges, Bangladesh has nevertheless made substantial progress in reducing poverty, supported by sustained economic growth. Bangladesh is also making progress in child nutritional status. According to the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2011 and 2014, stunting has declined from 43 percent to 36 percent, wasting has modestly dropped from 17 percent to 14 percent, and underweight has also decreased 41 percent from 33 percent. Despite these gains, a recent joint study by Imperial College London and the World Health Organization indicates that obesity is an emerging concern in Bangladesh: obesity has increased among boys from 0.03 percent in 1975 to 3 percent in 2016. Similarly, obesity has increased from almost nil four decades ago to 2.3 percent among girls for the same time period.
Accelerated urbanization, demographic transition, and globalization are causing major shifts in dietary patterns and lifestyle choices. Bangladesh's rapid transition in food systems, food safety, dietary diversity, markets, and health issues made this a natural focus of A4NH.
A4NH News from Bangladesh
Read our December 2020 Newsletter
A4NH's work in Bangladesh is coordinated by the International Food Policy Research Institute, with support from A4NH Managing Partners HarvestPlus and Wageningen University & Research. A4NH's work in Bangladesh is focused on four of the program's five research flagships: Food Systems for Healthier Diets (Flagship 1), Biofortification (Flagship 2), Food Safety (Flagship 3), and Supporting Policies, Programs, and Enabling Action through Research (Flagship 4).
Flagship 1: Food Systems for Healthier Diets
Under the leadership of Wageningen University & Research, Flagship 1 responds to concerns about global diet trends and demands from countries on how to transform sustainable and systemic food system transformations for healthier diets to address unabated problems of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overnutrition.
A4NH concentrates on urban food consumption. This is a complex process, as rural areas have producers and consumers, while most urban households are only consumers, and consumable items offer more complex choices and multiple access points for purchases and choices. A4NH examines food policy research, with a baseline survey of the food system-related policies in Bangladesh. The results of this baseline will provide a snapshot of the current policy context around food systems in Bangladesh and enable documentation of the changes in views and perceptions of the key actors around this agenda.

Flagship 2: Biofortification
Flagship 2, led by HarvestPlus, works with the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) and the International Rice Research Institute in developing and promoting zinc rice. So far, seven zinc-biofortified rice varieties have been released with high yield and beneficial agronomic traits desired by farmers. Among the seven varieties, four were released by BRRI, one hybrid and one inbred variety by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University and another inbred variety by Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture.
For promotion and delivery of zinc rice, HarvestPlus works with about 30 partners from the public, private and civil society sectors, including the Department of Agricultural Extension under the Ministry of Agriculture, BRRI, Bangladesh Agricultural University, 25 local NGOs, World Vision, and over 350 small and medium-sized seed companies. In 2016 alone, HarvestPlus and partners have delivered the seeds of four zinc rice varieties to almost half a million farming households across 62 of the 64 districts in the country.
HarvestPlus aims to reach at least one million Bangladeshi farming households with biofortified zinc rice seed by the end of 2018. Several demand creation activities, such as farmers' field days, school programs, and folk song performances, are planned to reach farming communities across the country.
In terms of research, HarvestPlus is working with the Federal Institute of Technology of Switzerland, BRAC University, the University of California-Davis and BRRI, to assess the retention, consumer acceptability, bioavailability and efficacy of zinc rice. The results of these studies will be available in early 2019. In 2018, HarvestPlus will also implement a study to assess the adoption and diffusion rates of zinc rice varieties, and to shed light onto the drivers and barriers to their scale up.
Flagship 3: Food Safety
This Flagship Program, led by the International Livestock Research Institute, addresses challenges related to the growing need to better understand food safety solutions that can work in informal or formalizing markets. There is an urgent need for technical and institutional solutions, and broader policy and regulatory approaches to manage food safety risks in an equitable manner in dynamic food markets like Bangladesh. This research will be closely integrated into the overall food systems approach under Flagship 1: Food Systems for Healthier Diets.
Risks in informal markets for nutrient-rich perishables like meat, milk, fish, and vegetables are particularly important owing to changing consumer preferences and market structures. Flagship 3 aims to make government programs mainstream food safety and health related to chemical contamination, metals, and anti-microbial resistance; as critical issues in production and consumption. With intensive collaboration with the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA), A4NH is looking at food safety issues related to knowledge generation, policy analysis, and advocacy. The flagship aims to analyze policies and mechanisms (food safety laws and institutions) that can meet the food safety delivery and occupational health needs of evolving food systems.
Flagship 4: Supporting Policies, Programs, and Enabling Action through Research (SPEAR)
Nutrition and agriculture are directly linked, but in many low- and middle-income countries, where a high dependence on agriculture- based livelihoods coexists with a high burden of undernutrition, there is a disconnect between agriculture and nutrition. The many links between agriculture and nutrition suggest that agricultural policies, interventions, and programs can be better designed to enhance nutrition and health benefits.
In Bangladesh, SPEAR is led by IFPRI. One of the pioneer project is ANGeL, a pilot project (2015–18), designed by IFPRI and implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, aims to identify actions and investments in agriculture that will help to improve nutrition and empower women. The Ministry of Agriculture will use ANGeL data to (1) identify which interventions most effectively increase agricultural diversity, improve nutrition, and promote women's empowerment; and (2) scale up the most effective interventions all over Bangladesh." ANGeL is the first ministry-led initiative in Bangladesh to use evidence from a randomized controlled trial to design a national program.
Akhter Ahmed, A4NH and IFPRI Country Representative in Bangladesh, discusses the ANGeL project:
Under Flagship 4, SPEAR aims to leverage agriculture for nutrition, which involves (a) making agricultural programs more nutrition- sensitive and more effective in improving nutrition and health, (b) creating and strengthening policy environments that enable agriculture to support nutrition and health goals, and (c) developing capacity and leadership to use evidence-informed decision making to enhance the impact of agriculture on nutrition and health.

You gave thanks to yujie for this post.
yujie posted this deal. Say thanks!
Lowest price ever, and no tax for many states. Newegg refurbished products are brand new without a box.
It does have a slot for a 2.5 inch drive under. Takes 1 screw to open. Earlier models had the drive bracket missing requiring you to call in and request it from Acer. The later models ship with it. I am not sure what this one has.
This is a good deal if the refurb is actually new. i7 model is a little faster but this is a good bit cheaper than that model.
Edit: For those that are buying, please read the reviews. It does have an overheating issue on long gaming sessions because of the shared heat pipe design, the heat has to cross from the CPU to the 1050ti and then to the heat sinks where the fans are. CPU is all the way on the other side of the computer away from fans. When too hot it causes throttling.
Acer manages this by only running the onboard 630 graphics card and disabling the 1050ti until you launch a graphics intensive game or program. It also requires you to plug it in for full speeds unless you manually adjust the power settings. The keyboard layout is a little weird, the right shift key is not large enough and you end up hitting the up arrow a lot when trying to use it. It's hard to not do since it's so small and muscle memory is strong. If it was any other key besides an arrow it would be too big of a deal to mention but this will mess you up typing any documents with any speed as you will jump lines. I would recommend a separate keyboard.
The touchpad is good just oddly shifted to the left a bit too much. Your left palm hits it also when typing. You have to disable the touchpad with the hotkey. A slight shift over to the right would fix it, but it looks like they didn't do much physical product testing.
If it's not I already own a gaming laptop, I would jump on this.
Anyone know if this has room for a second hardeive?

Would Acer cover 1 year warranty ?
Screen Size15.6 "non Touchscreen,1920 x 1080, Panel IPS, 60hz"
And the BB laptop sold out within a few hours.
For all the features, 1050 ti, Intel 256GB nvme M.2, IPS, major brand, even at $700 it was the best thing available over the last few weeks (except for deals that sold out quick). Have no regrets paying $700 and tempted to get this refurb for the wife.
I would advise people to hold off. Im sure for those that have deal alerts on noticed the trend of decent deals recently. I believe the mining craze is dying down and we'll see lots of decent deals by june.

Thank you for quick reply. One last question, know any good deals on another 8gig ram for this? And would I be better waiting if I intend to spend another roughly $200 to add the second hard drive and 8gb memory?

Q: Did gzip destroy my log file? I had a rather big log file. So I thought I'd gzip it before transferring it to my pc.
I did
gzip bla.log

which gave me a tiny
bla.log.gz

When I extract it using
gunzip bla.log.gz

I get back to my bla.log, but it's small and when I open it with vi it looks like this:
 ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@

Why did this happen? Is there a way I can get my log file from this .gz archive?
And BTW I'm on a Linux x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A: That's odd.
Exactly how small is it?  How big was the original log file?  What does file bla.log.gz say?
Normally gzip bla.log will write bla.log.gz and then, if that was successful, delete bla.log.  gunzip blo.log.gz will write bla.log and then delete bla.log.gz.
If something goes wrong during the gzip command (say, it ran out of space, exceeded your quota, was killed by a signal, or the computer lost power), then you could easily end up with a partial or corrupted bla.log.gz file -- but then the original bla.log file should still be there.
And if you then run gunzip bla.log.gz, you should get a prompt like:
gzip: bla.log already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)?

It shouldn't have clobbered your original bla.log file unless (a) you told it to (by using gunzip -f or by anwering y to the above prompt), or (b) it successfully generated bla.log.gz.
To answer your question, if bla.log.gz consists of nothing more than a few zero bytes, you're not going to get anything useful out of it.

A: Normally this should not happen. Try to read the gz file with a tool like gzless or something. If this is also screwed. Something went wrong while compression.

This toolbox was designed as a single document to support the development and delivery of museum school programs. The full document, along with background information can be found here.
This toolbox has seven modules and nine appendices. Each module and appendix is available here to be downloaded individually.
To help guide your experience, each of the modules are addressed to either the program developer or the program presenter, allowing you to focus on modules most relevant to your current situation. For many museums, the developers and presenters are often the same person.
Program Developer: focuses on the "behind-the-scenes" process of developing a school program.
Program Presenter: focuses on the "frontlines" process of delivering a school program.
Each module contains training exercises. Upon completion of each training exercise, you earn a badge for your personal toolbox (see Appendix A). Upon completion of all training exercises, you should have a full toolbox and feel prepared to create and present school programs using the "tools" you have earned. Some museums may decide that awarding of badges is a self-monitored activity, while other museums may wish to have badges awarded by a staff person over-seeing the training (for example, lead interpreter or site manager).

A contract manufacturing arrangement typically involves a customer engaging a contract manufacturer to manufacture consumer products, which will then be sold by the customer into the market. Several unique risks can arise out of such a relationship, which are distinct from the issues present in other sourcing transactions. In large part, these risks arise from the fact that the customer's core business is the sale and distribution of these products and that the products are being distributed into the marketplace, which increases the number of persons who could suffer harm from the products and increases product visibility. This article highlights a few key risks unique to contract manufacturing arrangements.
The purpose of the contract manufacturing agreement is for the supplier to manufacture products for the customer to deliver to the market. The customer's business and reputation depends on its ability to supply product to meet its contractual obligations and market demands. Thus, the risk that the supplier does not deliver products in a timely way could have substantial consequences to the customer. The customer should give consideration to the remedies and penalties to attach to any such breach by the supplier, and protections for the customer to alleviate the potential consequences.
Regulatory Requirements, Specifications and Quality Measures.
The customer will want to market and distribute products that appeal to consumers and that meet or exceed industry standards for quality. In addition, the customer will want to ensure that its products are safe. Many consumer products are subject to regulatory requirements, which are typically imposed for consumer safety. The customer should build the obligation to meet regulatory requirements into the specifications for the products and include warranties from the supplier that the products will meet all legal requirements (in addition to warranties that the supplier will perform the services and its other contractual obligations in accordance with laws). The supplier should warrant that the products will conform to the specifications and meet or exceed industry quality measures, where appropriate. The customer should have inspection rights to confirm that the supplier is meeting quality standards in the manufacturing process, as well as to confirm the quality of the products themselves.
There is always the risk that the customer will not be able to successfully commercialize the product. This could result from, among other things, the failure of the customer to successfully market the product or a failure of the supplier to timely deliver products meeting contractual requirements. Consideration should be given to how to allocate this risk and the rights and remedies available to the customer where the risk results from supplier's default.
One of the paramount risks associated with contract manufacturing relationships is product liability. Product liability claims can arise from the failure of products to meet regulatory requirements, specifications or quality measures or otherwise from defective products that lead to personal injury or death. Because of the potential significant costs associated with these claims, product liability indemnities are particularly important and it is essential that appropriate insurance be mandated by the contract and put in place. It is key for the insurance requirements to be appropriate for the particular industry and product.
Depending upon the type of product to be manufactured, warranties may be extended to the ultimate consumer of the product, and inevitably consumer warranty claims can arise. In addition, the manufacture, sale and distribution of consumer products give rise to the potential for product recalls, both voluntary and mandatory. The contract manufacturing agreement should define the responsibilities of the parties for these costs, and, perhaps as important—where the supplier is to bear the responsibility and liability—include appropriate mechanisms to ensure that the customer can collect from the supplier where it is responsible for these costs.
The distribution of products into the marketplace increases the potential risk for intellectual property claims. Appropriate and customary indemnification provisions should be built into the contract to protect the customer against third-party infringement claims. In addition, the customer will want to assess the ability of the contract manufacturer to bear the costs associated with such risk, and establish contractual protections to ensure that the supplier can fulfill its indemnity obligations.
The ability of the customer to continue to meet market demand and to have a smooth transition of the manufacture of the products post-termination is essential. The contract should contain appropriate post-termination assistance obligations and, in particular, depending upon the industry, should include an obligation for the supplier to continue to supply product for a period of time post-termination and/or to continue to supply service parts for the products to permit the customer to continue to meet its post-termination consumer warranty obligations and consumer demand generally.
Contract manufacturing arrangements relationships are complex. Each contract will raise issues unique to the parties and circumstances involved, and specialty areas of the law will likely be implicated. While parties may decide to allocate risks differently from that suggested above, our goal is to highlight some of the common risks unique to contract manufacturing arrangements in order to generate thoughts on the structure of the relationship.

American Dream | Adelīna Darviņa
"The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. [..] It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position. ".
This is how American Dream was defined for the very first time by James Truslow Adams in his book "The Epic of America" in 1931.
The project "American Dream" begun in year 2015 as a part of Adelīna`s bachelor thesis research.
On behalf of it, for three months she traveled across the United States, covering more than 21 000 kilometers.
During the trip across the country, she was documenting the representation of the American Dream ethos, paying specific attention to the living conditions, social differences and the importance of money in the consumer society. While there have been many reportage and road-trip photography projects on America, this body of work aims to delve into a deeper understanding of the American culture and the importance of the American Dream in it.
American Dream postulates that every American has the rights and opportunities to achieve his or her goals no matter what is the person's position in the society. And if you are willing to work hard, you will eventually achieve your goals. That is the concept of the American Dream which is based in the American ethos and the nation`s values that are shared among the American society – egalitarianism, individualism etc. In the contrary it`s interesting that since the late 1970`s the US has experienced economical downfall and since then the economical gap between social classes has only become wider – the lower and middle classes are becoming poorer and the upper class is becoming richer. Based on the Emmanuel Saez research, the Berkeley economist, has found that the America`s 1 percent`s share of total US income is roughly 20 percent.
Jim Cullen, one of the most popular American Dream researchers and author of the book "The American Dream. A Short History of an Idea that Shaped a Nation. 2003" have put forward an argument that the American Dream is the American people's ethos or, in his words, the nation's "glue". But from what we can see is that this nation`s binder has a trend for self- destruction. The increasing economic inequality in American society, racial discrimination, sexist expression in various aspects of life calls into question the idealized concept of the American Dream. These were some of the core reasons for Adelīna to examine the American Dream phenomenon deeper in the American society.
Nowadays, the dream can be compared with a promise to the American nation that you are always given the chance and opportunity to achieve personal goals and ambitions no matter of one`s position in the society if you are willing to work hard enough. But the promise has constantly been subjected to capitalist monopoly and the government's burden.
In the United States, it is believed that money is earned through hard work, not inherited, and on the contrary, those who have failed to achieve their goals, have worked less to achieve them. For as long as there will be inequality in the American society, the dream will be able to exist because there will be people who will want to achieve it. Such an assertion is clear from the context that it has created one of the world's wealthiest nations with the highest income difference between the lowest and highest levels of society.
Adelīna Darviņa has been nominated for the FK Prize given out by Riga Photomonth festival for young photographers. The photo project "American Dream" will be displayed in the art gallery "Noass" in Rīga, Latvia starting from 17.05.2017 till 17.06.2017.

Act-On raises $42M to double down on 'greenfield' marketing automation market
John Koetsier, Singular@johnkoetsier	 April 15, 2014 4:31 AM
Image Credit: Douglas Adams
Forty-two is the answer to life, the universe, and everything, according the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It is also the number of millions that hard-charging marketing automation vendor Act-On has raised in a significant fifth round of institutional capital.
"How fast we can grow is really about how much money I have to hire salespeople," said Act-On CEO Raghu Raghavan, explaining what he plans to do with the money. "This is not a market where I have to fight competitors … marketing automation is still a greenfield market with only five percent penetration."
Marketing automation systems help companies manage complex one-to-one marketing campaigns by personalizing web, mobile, social, email, and other marketing communications with both prospective and current clients. Act-On is a up-and-coming contender that hit VentureBeat's list of top 10 marketing automation vendors. The company is based is Beaverton, Ore., and largely focuses on non-tech companies.
The $42 million funding round was led by Technology Crossover Ventures, with existing investors Norwest Venture Partners, Trinity Ventures, US Venture Partners, and Voyager Capital also participating. TCV's participation is significant, as the company has plenty of experience in marketing technology and an investment thesis that is focused on putting large amounts of capital to work in maturing startups that have proven their worth and are poised, the firm hopes, for massive growth.
TCV is in it for the long haul, according to Act-On.
"I've always been very careful in selecting investors to back us," Raghavan said. "I've always taken the long view, and I've always taken on investors who think the same way."
Act-On, which currently has about 2,200 mid-sized and enterprise clients, is growing at the rate of 300-400 clients a quarter, Raghavan told me. The company tripled from 2012 to 2013, grew about 2.5X in 2013, and is on pace to double again in 2014, he said.
Act-On faces competition from two significant places: the explosion of startups in marketing technology, and the emergence of massive integrated suites from major software companies, generally sold as "marketing clouds."
In terms of the first, the $42 million will come in handy, especially considering that fifth round was an "up round," in which the value of the stock rose appreciably. Raghavan didn't divulge specifics, but did say that Act-On's valuation was at what would be an "IPO-level valuation" for many other companies. That likely means something north of $100 million.
And that gives Act-On significant maneuvering room.
"Now the stock is an appreciating asset that we can use to make acquisitions," Raghavan said. "We can go up and pick up some small companies here and there."
He doesn't expect to acquire huge amounts of revenue, but given the massive influx of new companies with interesting technology for all aspects of marketing, there is a definite wave of consolidation coming in which it will be possible to pick up potentially important intellectual property — and snap up hard-to-come-by talent.
The other competition comes from the marketing clouds, built and sold by companies like Adobe, Salesforce, Oracle, and others.
"We're coming at the enterprise bottom-up," Raghavan told me, explaining Act-On's marketing positioning. "We tend to penetrate enterprise one division at a time, whereas Oracle, Adobe, and Salesforce take enterprise top down: They tell a company that change needs to happen to the whole enterprise … and then the magic will happen."
The problem with that model, for Act-On, is that when a company like Salesforce or Adobe builds a marketing cloud via acquisition and development, it can be hard to ensure that each component is truly best-of-breed. And, of course, integration has never stopped being challenging.
"If you look at what Salesforce has done, they've bought ExactTarget, which bought Pardot," he said. "They're not really integrated. And Adobe sort of has schizophrenia … they have all this ability around content, and then they have this thing called Neolane, and they have to rationalize all of that. They have no impact on our market."
It's clear right now, of course, that Adobe and Oracle target different companies than Act-On, in larger and more expensive deals.
Whether that continues to be the case over the long term, however, remains to be seen.

Q: Express (probably) adds http://localhost:3000 before all external links on the page I have some issue with express in my simply javascript app. I want to make a repository for URLs. On my page I display all links with this code:
const allLinks = links
        .map((link) => {
            const { _id: linkID, name, area, address } = link;
            return `

${name}

${area}

${address}

                        edit

                    <button type="button" class="delete-btn" data-id="${linkID}">
                        delete
                    </button>

`;
        })
        .join('');

    linksDOM.innerHTML = allLinks;

Then on my page I see for example link (address) like: www.google.com. I've tried to make a clikable link from it (a tag, on click button), but there's an issue with it. Probably express treats it like link inside app and adds before the link http://localhst:3000, so it goes like http://localhost:3000/www.google.com and of course doesn't work. Same is when I right click and copy link. I just want an external working link, without localhost:3000.
How I can to prevent app/express to do this. Does anyone can help me, please ?

FDA approves vaccine for prevention of smallpox, monkeypox
Jynneos Smallpox and Monkeypox Vaccine, Live, Non-Replicating, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for prevention of smallpox and monkeypox disease in adults 18 years or older who are considered at high risk for infection, the agency announced this week.
Jynneos, which is administered in two doses four weeks apart, contains Modified Vaccinia Ankara, a form of the vaccinia virus closely related to the variola or monkeypox viruses but less harmful. To ensure it is accessible in the United States if needed, Jynneos is part of the Strategic National Stockpile, a national supply of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency that depletes local supplies.
Approval of Jynneos for prevention of smallpox was based on data from a clinical study comparing the immune responses of 400 healthy adults (ages 18 to 42 years) who received two doses of Jynneos 28 days apart or one dose of ACAM2000, an FDA-approved vaccine for smallpox prevention. None of the patients had been previously vaccinated for smallpox. The immune response of individuals vaccinated with Jynneos was not inferior to that of individuals vaccinated with ACAM2000.
Approval of Jynneos for prevention of monkeypox was based on the antibody responses of the smallpox clinical study participants as well as data from nonhuman primate studies demonstrating protection of animals vaccinated with Jynneos when they were exposed to the monkeypox virus. Safety data from more than 7,800 individuals who received at least one dose revealed the most commonly reported side effects were pain, redness, swelling, itching, firmness at the injection site, muscle pain, headache, and fatigue.
"Although naturally occurring smallpox disease is no longer a global threat, the intentional release of this highly contagious virus could have a devastating effect," Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a statement.

Parking enforcement in Amsterdam using scan cars and scooters.
Amsterdam had taken the final step in digitising parking and parking enforcement and the move is paying dividends.
It was almost a decade ago that the City of Amsterdam decided to start the evolution - or maybe even a revolution – of its parking enforcement: it got rid of the paper parking permit or ticket behind the windscreen and introduced the digital parking right. It was the first step on a bumpy but successful road to digitization, resulting in a fore running position in on street parking enforcement.
The rationale behind the decision was two-fold: service improvement and safety. Firstly, the municipality wanted to improve the service to residents by enabling them to request a parking permit online. That meant it was no longer necessary to put the paper permit behind the windscreen as the parking right was stored in a database - a safe and fraud-proof solution.
The city has 160,000 paid parking bays with charges ranging €3 - €5/hr and in 2006 visiting motorist got the opportunity to pay via mobile phone, thus enabling paying per minute of the actual parking duration. In addition, the parking meters were modified to enable drivers to enter their license plate registration – meaning there was no need to display a parking ticket.
Amsterdam's parking model has proven to be extremely cost effective and remunerative but, in general, to work well the digital parking enforcement solution requires a minimum of 3,000 parking spaces in combination with a digitization rate of 85%.
However, smaller municipalities could also benefit from similar efficiency gains by digitising parking rights with automated scan processing and management by using a smart back office system.
Such is the efficiency of the enforcement process that smaller municipalities may only need a scan vehicle for a few hours a day and could share this, along with the back office platform, with a neighbouring town to realise gains similar to those in Amsterdam.
However, this digitisation of parking rights presented the enforcement organisation with an unforeseen challenge. Although it was a step towards increased service to the motorists, it was also a retrograde step in terms of enforcement efficiency.
Previously, enforcement officers on the street only had to look inside the windscreen and at the license plate to see if the ticket or permit was valid or not. This way, 100 cars per hour could easily be checked. But now, with the invisible digital rights, to check if a car was legitimately parked the enforcement officer had to enter the license plate number manually in the PDA - a much more time consuming task. "We noticed a productivity drop of 40%", says Jørgen Weekes CEO of enforcement organisation Cition.
The solution was found in 2008 by implementing a technical innovation: a scan car that can read an average of 1,000 license plates per hour. This was an enormous boost in efficiency and productivity, especially since the scans were processed and managed automatically by Agendum's Scanman back-office system. Moreover, the scanning method was not only a fast, but also a safer (no personal or physical abuse by disgruntled motorists) and more comfortable method of enforcement.
As the use of a scan car has intensified the enforcement level dramatically, there was an additional benefit: the parking and payment behaviour changed. Although at the beginning there was an increase in parking fines, after the first month, non-paying and overstaying motorists realised that the chances of being fined were so high that they either payed to park or stopped parking in paid areas.
There is another factor that impacts the efficiency of the enforcement process. In 2008, the City of Amsterdam started out with one scan car, but nowadays it deploys 10 scan cars and 3 scan scooters.
Parking enforcement costs fall dramatically as the degree of digitisation increases.
To get the highest return on the investment in these resources - both equipment and team members - it is essential to know where and how to enforce to ensure these resources are deployed in areas where they are most effective and urgent, and for as many hours as possible. The authorities in Amsterdam started to use the Planman workforce planning tool to organise the daily schedules in a way that enforcement could be done in the right place, at the right time.
This process optimisation enabled the organisation to do more with fewer resources and counted for another substantial decrease in costs. The costs of enforcement personnel dropped by 38% in five years.
And another effect was that due to the higher intensity of enforcement, the pay rate went up. Planman was developed using the parking data the City had generated along the way and that were presented by means of an intelligent reporting tool, Infoman. It resulted in a detailed insight into the parking and pay behaviour (occupancy and pay rate) across the paid parking area down to street segment level. This was important management input for assembling the enforcement teams and for further process optimisation.
Furthermore, Infoman gave a clear insight into the productivity and outcome of the enforcement process, the extent to which the objectives were being met and how further improvement could be achieved. And the parking data provided the parking management and policy makers with valuable information for sustainable parking and mobility policy strategies.
Initially in 2008, around 80% of Amsterdam's parking rights were digitized and in 2014 this moved to 100%, resulting in huge increases in terms of efficiency gain.
Having started on the road to digitize parking it became clear that relatively small increases in digitization rate means a huge step in efficiency. For instance: with a digitization rate of 85%, 85 out of every 100 parking rights is stored in a database. The remaining 15 have non-digital parking permits and rights (such as disabled and elderly people) and these will require an on-street check by an enforcement officer.
With 90% digitsation of enforcement the system becomes cost effective with relatively for parking spaces.
If the parking rights rate goes up to 86% then only 14 out of 100 cars needs checking, resulting in (1/15) 7% fewer follow-up actions and if that further increases to 90%, only 10 instead of the original 15 out of 100 cars needs to be checked, so that's 33,3% less follow-up.
Having completed the digitisation of its parking rights 2014, this paved the way for a new and very efficient enforcement method in the city Amsterdam by using a Desk Force in a control room. This was implemented at the end of 2015. Theoretically, on-street enforcement is no longer needed as an enforcement officer can check the license plate information and the overview photos on-screen. This means another efficiency gain since it decreases follow-up actions by another 90%. In practice, municipalities might prefer to keep enforcement officers active on-street, for instance for broader than only parking enforcement purposes alone.
Amsterdam has retained on-street officers to enforce the parking of foreign cars as, for legal reasons, the city cannot send the fine directly to the owner's postal address. Instead the officers affix windscreen stickers containing information about payment the fine.
The International Benefits, Evaluation and Costs (IBEC) Working Group aims to encourage the more effective use of ITS evaluation information for informed decision-making. To that end the evaluation of road user charging (RUC) projects is of considerable interest to Steve Morello, IBEC management committee member and senior vice-president of US-headquartered transportation consultancy D'Artagnan.
FAST, the 2015 Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, provides funding for states to demonstrate user fee-based revenue mechanisms to maintain the long-term solvency of the US Highway Trust Fund - which administers federal fuel taxes.
A number of US states are preparing one or more proposals with planned start dates in 2016. There is no bar to heavy vehicle tests, or to pilots combining light and heavy vehicle tests. Collectively these will provide for costs and benefits evaluation in comparisons between future RUC revenues and current fuel taxes.
The RUC pilots are likely include in-depth analyses, similar to California's planned independent viability test, while Oregon's scheme is now permanently operational, with no legislatively-mandated stop date. CBA analyses of such studies will contribute to a better understanding of the benefits of transitioning from fuel taxes to more sustainable sources of revenue.
With the US vehicle fleet becoming more fuel efficient (to meet US Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards), recent projects and forecasts all point to a continuing decline of future fuel tax revenues. The surprise has been the increased pace of decline being predicted.
Based on numerous studies, Morello believes it is imperative for major public education campaigns to run alongside pilot projects.

UNSC members welcome listing Azhar as international terrorist
Last updated Jun 5, 2019
Policenama Online: The listing of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as an international terrorist by a UN sanctions committee after China dropped its longstanding opposition has been welcomed by several Security Council members as a significant achievement in making the linchpins of terrorism accountable for their violence.
US Permanent Representative Jonathan Cohen told the Council on Monday, "Azhar's listing shows that the international community can and will hold terrorists accountable for their actions".
Washington was pleased that Azhar was designated for sanctions by its panel dealing with the Islamic State and Al Qaeda, Cohen said during a Council briefing on its committees dealing with terrorism.
The Committee "must continue to keep up its pace to adapt to the evolving threat", he added.
US pressured China to end its decade-long opposition to Azhar being put on the terrorists sanctions list by the panel known as the 1267 Committee named for the Council resolution setting it up. The JeM boss behind several attacks on India was finally added to the list on May 1.
China's Counsellor Shaojun Yao assured Beijing's cooperation with the 1267 Committee, which he said was an important counter-terrorism mechanism with a "significant role in assessing terrorist threats and strengthening sanctions measures".
JeM, which had attacked India's Parliament in 2001 and the Pathankot Air Force base in 2016, carried out a suicide bombing of a bus transporting Central Reserve Police Force personnel in February killing more than 40 troopers.
Germany's Permanent Representative Christoph Heusgen said: "I think it was a good signal, good sign for the work of this committee that we were able earlier to have the listing of Mazhoor Masood".
"It was difficult for some but it was very important that we were able to overcome these obstacles and list him," he added in a reference China's earlier opposition.
On preventing terrorists from gaining access to weapons of mass destruction, Heusgen welcomed the holding of the India-Wiesbaden Conference on "Securing Global Supply Chains through Government-Industry Partnerships".
India organised the conference in New Delhi last year in coordination with the Council committee on implementing Council Resolution 1540 mandating action to stop proliferation of these weapons to terrorists. Germany launched the initiative known as the Wiesbaden Process to promote the implementation of the resolution.

Poland's Permanent Representative Joanna Wronecka said: "I would like to underline a significant achievement made by all Security Council Member States which allowed listing of a person responsible for a deadly terrorist act in the state of Jammu and Kashmir".
"We welcome progress achieved and encourage all states to work together in order to hold perpetrators, organisers and sponsors of acts of terrorism accountable," she said.
"It is a matter of the highest importance to keep the sanctions list updated and stay focused on the current threat," she added.
Yao said that Beijing supported the work of the committee in "closely communicating with the countries concerned and fostering cooperation with regional and sub-regional counter-terrorism mechanisms with a view to making greater contribution to international counter terrorism efforts".
Before changing its stance this month, China had resisted Azhar's designation as a terrorist subject to sanctions because it asserted that evidence of his role in terrorism was insufficient.
China hoped that the committe will "base its work on solid evidence and consensus among parties so as to safeguard the authority and the effectiveness of the sanctions mechanism", Yao said.
Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative Gennady Kuzmin said that 1267 Committee "has proven itself to be one of the most effective of the Council counter-terrorism mechanism".
But on the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee and the UN's agencies against terrorism, he cautioned against being diverted from their primary task.
"Paying to too much attention to the secondary elements" and filling out the agenda with human rights matters to replace the the job of counter-terrorism with the famous idea of preventing violent extremism distracts states from implementing their primary obligations in this area," Kuzmin said.

Importance of work for the individual and society | Laissez-Passer
Importance of work for the individual and society
basic element, individual and society
The professional term has grown historically and is linked to the terms work, vocational training, and social opportunities as well as income. An activity that serves to maintain one's own existence and that of society and is accepted and rewarded by society is generally referred to as work.
A person who carries out a regular and long-term work activity for which he has previously acquired the required knowledge in an apprenticeship so that he can exercise it sufficiently, whereby these learned competencies and basic qualifications of professional role acting have become known to other people Job.
Importance of work: development of the facility
The central importance of gainful employment for the individual and society as a whole also disguises negative aspects that can arise from work. However, doing one's job can in some cases become an addiction. People use work as a means of escaping conflict with their partner, family, friends or with themselves.
Unlike other forms of addiction, these "workaholics" are accepted and admired by society. Many young workers sacrifice leisure time, private life, and sleep in order to become successful as quickly as possible. These yuppies sometimes work up to 14 hours a day, seven days a week. If they go out, then with colleagues or like-minded people, always concerned about their professional progress. They don't even have to time to know the celebrity trending now.
The boundaries between positive work enthusiasm and work addiction are fluid. In any case, these limits are exceeded when work is abused to avoid conflicts and confrontations.
Benefits of workaholics for society
Especially at times of high unemployment, many work more than they have to for fear of losing their jobs. By taking on more work, they try to become indispensable and to outperform other employees. However, workaholics take work away from others.
At first glance, workaholics may seem like a lot of work, but it has been proven that not everyone who works a lot is efficient. Working time and work output are not in a linear relationship to one another. In addition, the workaholics' lack of teamwork makes them neither popular nor good employees.
In today's society, work represents an important basic element for securing the livelihood of the individual and of society as a whole. The individual defines himself and his social status through his activity.

Issa, Dems brawl over [redacted]
By TIM MAK
Rep. Darrell Issa and House Democrats are at it again - we just can't tell you what it's all about.
A top Oversight Committee Democrat is charging that Issa (R-Calif.) omitted crucial information from a letter he sent on Tuesday to Attorney General Eric Holder about wiretapping applications related to Operation Fast and Furious.
But the public won't know what critical information allegedly has been left out of Holder's letter - because that information had to be censored.
In his letter, ranking Member Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) wrote to Issa, "First, your letters omit the critical fact that [Cummings' letter then included a blacked out section that had been redacted]. This is a key omission that completely undermines your conclusions and distorts your representations."
Cummings' office presumably redacted the information because the wiretap applications the lawmaker is writing about are under court seal or contain sensitive information.
Issa's office had no immediate comment on Cummings' letter.
On Tuesday, Issa wrote a letter to Holder suggesting that Justice Department leadership knew about the tactics used in Fast and Furious operation. Cummings' return letter outlines the ranking member's response – redactions and all – and also outlines the procedures through which wiretap applications are involved – arguing that leadership wasn't directly involved in approving wiretap applications related to Fast and Furious.
The unusual back and forth is the latest development in the Fast and Furious operation, the investigation of which has sparked a furious series of letters being exchanged between Republicans and Democrats, as well as the Oversight Committee and the Justice Department.
Holder is set to testify before Congress' House Judiciary Committee again on Thursday.

A 65-year-old sound mixer is in critical condition after falling on the set of "You Are My Friend", starring veteran actor Tom Hanks.
He fell from a two storey building during the filming of the Fred Rogers biopic.
Police told a news station that the man, who is from the Pittsburgh area, was taking a smoke break on a balcony in between filming scenes when bystanders heard a noise and discovered he had fallen, reported variety.com.
He was taken to the hospital in serious condition, but after arriving his status worsened. Filming has been halted as the police investigated.
In the film, Hanks stars as Fred Rogers, while Matthew Rhys co-stars as a journalist who became friends with Rogers. Chris Cooper will also appear in the film as Rhys' character's father.
"Diary of a Teenage Girl" director Marielle Heller is helming the movie from a script by Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster.
The film is inspired by a real-life friendship between Rogers and award-winning journalist Tom Junod (Rhys). In the story, a cynical journalist begrudgingly accepts an assignment to write a profile piece on the beloved icon and finds his perspective on life transformed.

FAA Issues SFAR Prohibiting U.S. Flights in Airspace Over Crimea
Operators throughout Eastern Europe and the Russian Federation must heed a recent special federal aviation regulation (SFAR) issued by the FAA prohibiting most civil flight operations by United States pilots, and most N-numbered aircraft, in a section of the Simferopol flight information region (FIR) due to the ongoing situation in Crimea.
The prohibited area, established following Russia's annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine, encompasses Ukrainian airspace over the Crimea and the surrounding area. It also includes international airspace over the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea managed by Ukraine under a regional agreement with the International Civil Aviation Organization.
The SFAR comes in response to a NOTAM issued by Russia on March 28 "purporting to establish unilaterally a new FIR, effective April 3, 2014, in a significant portion of the Simferopol (UKFV) FIR," according to the SFAR.
"In the FAA's view, the potential for civil aircraft to receive confusing and conflicting air traffic control instructions from both Ukrainian and Russian ATS providers while operating in the portion of the Simferopol (UKFV) FIR covered by this SFAR is unsafe and presents a potential hazard to civil flight operations in the disputed airspace," the agency continued.
Exceptions to the SFAR include flights of U.S.-registered aircraft by foreign operators, and/or aircraft operated by foreign entities but flown by U.S. pilots.

Synthetic double-stranded RNA induces innate immune responses similar to a live viral vaccine in humans
Marina Caskey, François Lefebvre, Abdelali Filali-Mouhim, Mark J. Cameron, Jean-Philippe Goulet ...
The Journal of Experimental Medicine (2011) 208 (12): 2357–2366.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20111171
Adjuvants are critical for the success of vaccines. Agonists of microbial pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are promising new adjuvant candidates. A mechanism through which adjuvants enhance immune responses is to stimulate innate immunity. We studied the innate immune response in humans to synthetic double-stranded RNA (polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly IC] stabilized with poly- l -lysine [poly ICLC]), an agonist for toll-like receptor (TLR) 3, and the cytosolic RNA helicase MDA-5. Transcriptional analysis of blood samples from eight volunteers, after subcutaneous administration of poly ICLC, showed up-regulation of genes involved in multiple innate immune pathways in all subjects, including interferon (IFN) and inflammasome signaling. Blocking type I IFN receptor ex vivo significantly dampened the response to poly IC. Comparative transcriptional analysis showed that several innate immune pathways were similarly induced in volunteers immunized with the highly efficacious yellow fever vaccine. Therefore, a chemically defined PRR agonist like poly ICLC can be a reliable and authentic microbial mimic for inducing innate immune responses in humans.
Substantial Differences in Specificity of HIV-Specific Cytotoxic T Cells in Acute and Chronic HIV Infection
Philip J.R. Goulder, Marcus A. Altfeld, Eric S. Rosenberg, Thi Nguyen, Yanhua Tang ...
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a vital part in controlling viral replication during human viral infections. Most studies in human infections have focused on CTL specificities in chronic infection and few data exist regarding the specificity of the initial CTL response induced in acute infection. In this study, HIV-1 infection in persons expressing human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*0201 was used as a means of addressing this issue. In chronic infection, the dominant HLA-A*0201–restricted CTL response is directed towards the epitope SLYNTVATL ("SL9") in p17 Gag (residues 77–85). This epitope is targeted by 75% of HLA-A*0201–positive adults, and the magnitude of this A*0201-SL9 response shows a strong negative association with viral load in progressive infection. Despite using the highly sensitive peptide–major histocompatibility complex tetramer and intracellular cytokine assays, responses to the SL9 epitope were not detectable in any of 11 HLA-A*0201–positive subjects with acute HIV-1 infection ( P = 2 × 10 −6 ), even when assays were repeated using the SL9 peptide variant that was encoded by their autologous virus. In contrast, multiple responses (median 3) to other epitopes were evident in 7 of the 11 A*0201–positive subjects. Longitudinal study of two subjects confirmed that the A*0201-SL9 response emerged later than other CTL responses, and after viral set point had been reached. Together, these data show that the CTL responses that are present and that even may dominate in chronic infection may differ substantially from those that constitute the initial antiviral CTL response. This finding is an important consideration in vaccine design and in the evaluation of vaccine candidates.
