The digitisation of manuscripts and papers relating to D.H. Lawrence's short story with supporting pedagogic materials for textual, historical and critical study
This project had two elements. First, it involved the digitisation of materials concerning D.H. Lawrence's short story 'Odour of Chrysanthemums' held in the Special Collections of the University of Nottingham's Hallward Library. These materials include the extensively emended first proof copy of the first published version of the story; a second manuscript of the story, also with extensive autograph amendments; a number of letters relating to the writing and publication of the work; and a full transcription of the text and its variants. A primary objective was to design an interface to allow the various versions to be viewed together, and thus to be compared closely. The second element of the project entailed the design and launch of a website to house the variant texts and provide online teaching and learning resources to support, frame and disseminate the the Lawrence texts and methods for their interpretation. These resources are aimed at A-Level students and teachers, university and postgraduate students and lecturers, and the general reader. You can read more about the life of the project in 'Odour of Chrysanthemums: a text in process' published in Wordplay magazine, April 2010.
'Odour of Chrysanthemums' is a popular story, with a substantial body of secondary critical and contextual materials. It is a widely taught, 'canonical' text, formally and historically significant, with an accessible, interesting and illuminating textual history. The existing D.H. Lawrence pages at the University of Nottingham are already amongst the most popular, and there is considerable demand for access to further holdings in this field. Our aim with this project has been to enable and encourage more sophisticated and informed readings of 'Odour of Chrysanthemums' at all levels and contexts.
The Odour of Chrysanthemums website is up and running (http://odour.nottingham.ac.uk) and contains publicly available web resources including the digitised texts and variants, teaching and learning materials and essays by experts on Lawrence criticism. The site is designed to benefit not only the community of D.H. Lawrence scholars and enthusiasts, but also students and teachers at all levels with an interest in Lawrence's work. A distinctive aspect of the project is the framing of materials concerned specifically with aspects of textual and editorial scholarship, which extends the benefits of the site into the domain of training for research skills and methodologies. The site also includes
Questions to guide reading and seminar/classroom work
Tasks which explore Lawrence's use of dialect in the story
An introduction to the research area of genetic criticism
Bibliographical information for primary and secondary sources;
Essays, notes and miscellaneous pieces relating to 'Odour of Chrysanthemums' (some extant, others have been commissioned);
Links to relevant resources and further materials.
The website is a free-standing area associated with the D.H. Lawrence Research Centre and the School of English and is a part of the extensive, existing D.H. Lawrence online resources at Nottingham University.

Try your ligature out in a lot of different font combinations to receive a better comprehension of the way the letters can visually connect. Pick a sign and have your child tell you exactly what letter or number you merely signed. Always keep in mind that the letter portion of the word lettermark has become the most important. Letters are extremely strange creatures. Foam bath letters are a really good method to get in some reading time daily. Two letters that may have no easy points of connection may have a simpler time connecting in the event you change your font.

There are many different tactics to keep the program exciting and fun in their opinion. A lot of fun and the children will certainly need to play over and over. Of course it also permits children and parents to actually devote some quality time together.
An important suggestion is to begin teaching your son or daughter from the day he or she's born. Have your son or daughter do the exact same using their arm. Basically, the kid is required to memorize words rather than really learning the way the letters and sounds work with each other to form words. He or she can either find the letter based on the letter name or the letter sound. Needless to say, as the children draw, I understand they are developing the identical fine motor skills they should be prosperous in forming letters. When you have children younger than preschool, you'll discover her site very useful too.

Work Ethic Drives Motivated Ohio State Running Back Room
By Joe DempseyAugust 7, 2020 (6:00 pm)Football
Ohio State faced a running back crisis in the spring following the departure of J.K. Dobbins for the NFL and a serious injury to presumed starter Master Teague.
The only Buckeye backs remaining were redshirt freshman Steele Chambers and sophomore Marcus Crowley, who had suffered a season-ending injury against Maryland Nov. 9. Cincinnati three-star tailback Miyan Williams did not enroll until June, and fifth-year senior Demario McCall split time in the slot in 2019.
Head coach Ryan Day and running backs coach Tony Alford turned to the transfer portal and brought in the best back available in Oklahoma senior Trey Sermon. During an unusual offseason, the two-time honorable mention All-Big 12 has made quite the impression on his new team.
"Trey's been a great addition so far," Day said. "He's got a great way about him. He's got a great work ethic, and our guys have kind of embraced him. When you bring in a fifth-year senior like that or somebody who's a transfer in one of those settings, you have to find the right guy. I mean, Jonah Jackson was that right guy and we think Trey Sermon's the same way."
While Sermon is expected to play an important role in replacing Dobbins, who rushed for an Ohio State record 2,003 yards last season, Teague will also be pivotal to the Buckeyes' success alongside quarterback Justin Fields.
Although serving as Dobbins' backup a year ago, Teague still ranked seventh in the Big Ten with 789 rushing yards as a redshirt freshman. The talented tailback from Murfreesboro, Tenn., reportedly suffered an Achilles injury in the spring, but his quick recovery has pleasantly surprised Day, especially considering the conditions amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I will say that Master has done an unbelievable job of rehabbing," Day said of the third-year sophomore running back. "He has been focused on it. He has been disciplined. He amazes me every day with what he's done to get to even where he's at right now. Very, very impressed with what he's done.
"And again, it wasn't easy because he was on his own a lot. But with (physical therapist) Adam Stewart and (athletic trainer) Shaun Barnhouse and our staff, and then his work ethic has been just tremendous."
Beyond Sermon and Teague, the three remaining scholarship backs, Chambers, Crowley and Williams, will compete for depth roles. Chambers carried 19 times for 135 yards and one touchdown in 2019, but the Roswell, Ga., native still took a redshirt.
Crowley ran for 247 yards and one score on 25 carries, while adding a seven-yard reception he took for a touchdown before ending his freshman campaign early with a leg injury. He is expected to be the top challenger to Sermon and Teague for touches.
Fitting into his own box, the versatile McCall gained 122 rushing yards and scored twice on 18 carries, while adding four receptions for 28 yards in the passing game. Each preseason, the North Ridgeville, Ohio native garners hype for his playmaking ability, and this is his final year to showcase his talents.
The other new face besides Sermon, Williams, transformed his body in the offseason by dropping body fat and looks the part of a Buckeye back. Williams will find himself buried on the depth chart to start, but he can benefit from the great group of ball carriers ahead of him.
"Steele Chambers had an unbelievable offseason. I think you're going to see great things out of him," Day said. "Marcus Crowley's coming off of his injury. He's done a good job. And then Miyan Williams has stepped in in short time and shown that he can learn quickly. And he's gotten himself in great shape, too."
It remains to be seen how Sermon and Teague will balance the workload and which reserves will earn the most reps, but the Buckeyes are in much better shape than they were in the spring.

Lentivirus Properties
By Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D.
Lentivirus genus represents a diverse, yet exceptionally cohesive group of retroviruses. Their influence on the health and general well-being of animals and humans alike has been enormous. Members of this group are found in primates, ungulates (cattle, sheep, horse and goat) and felids (cat). Vectors derived from these viruses that integrate into cellular DNA are promising tools for targeted gene therapy.
Common features of the genus
Although there are some clear distinctions between different viruses of the Lentivirus genus, they share a number of characteristic features overall. Those include infection of cells of the myeloid lineage (monocytes and macrophages), viral persistence regardless of host immune responses, protracted incubation periods and a variable, progressively degenerative disease course.
Lentiviruses can be separated into two basic groups: those that cause immunodeficinency disorder (HIV-1, HIV-2, SIV, FIV and potentially BIV) and those that do not (EIAV, JDV, SRLV). The host immune system is severely affected during the acute phase of progressive immunodeficiency lentiviral infections, and CD4 T-cell depletion is a hallmark of such infections.
Lentiviruses exploit a latent state in order to disseminate freely throughout the body and to avoid elimination from the immune system of the host. Inclination for establishing cellular latency varies greatly among primate species, and the phenomenon can be defined as the presence of proviral DNA (either integrated or episomal) in the absence of detectable viral RNA transcripts.
HIV-1 has been shown to persist in reservoirs that contain small pools of latently infected resting memory CD4 T-cells which carry integrated viral genome without the expression of viral proteins (unless the cells are stimulated to proliferate). On the other hand, macrophages do not divide and are incapable of establishing resting state – akin to CD4 T-cells.

All lentivirus disease progression has periods of clinical latency, but the fashion in which individual viruses interact with the infected host in order to accomplish it differs. Comparison of the disease processes observed in different lentiviruses emphasizes the complex interplay between replication, host immunity and ensuing latency.
Cellular tropism and pathogenesis
As mentioned before, all lentiviruses seem to share a superb ability to target cells of the myeloid lineage. These cells are non-dividing cells, which means that the viral genome must navigate through the intact nuclear membrane in order to access the cellular genome. Among retroviruses, lentiviruses have evolved the most efficacious machinery to achieve this goal – a trait that is extremely valuable in gene therapy.
Infections of monocytes and macrophages are thought to be pivotal for viral persistence and dissemination in various tissues. Those cells even represent the predominant type in different bodily fluids; for example, in semen the number of macrophages exceeds those of lymphocytes by more than 20-fold.
The infected cells frequently go undetected by the host immune system since they do not present viral antigens due to the lack of active replication. Therefore upon seeding in organ tissues, differentiation of latent monocytes activates viral replication and establishes reservoir sites in spite of the host immune response.
The main advantage of using lentiviruses as potent vectors for gene transfer is their propensity to transduce quiescent cells. Transduction of dendritic cells with such vectors results in their phenotypic and functional maturation. Whereas this represents an advantage when treating cancer or infections, it has the opposing effect when immunological tolerance is the desired consequence, as it is in the case of treatment of autoimmune disorders.

The New Sweden 2019 mileage contest will run from January 1, 2019 to the day before the 2019 club Christmas party.
Participation is simple, just snap a pic of your speedometer(s) on New Year's Day and post it here or send it to me and I will post it for you.
Regardless of how many miles you travel, it will be nice to see how everyone averages out. Feel free to post up some updates throughout the year.
4 awards (suitable for framing!) will be given out at the 2019 Christmas Party. Since we are a gender agnostic club, we will not segregate male or female riders into separate groups.
Whether you ride 12 or 12000 miles a year. Please participate. Street or dirt, all miles matter.
You must be a member in good standing at the start and end of the contest.
What if you have multiple bikes?(a BMW, and a couple non BMW's)?

Recently teaching my teenage son to drive, I couldn't explain instinctive behavior I take for granted after 40-plus years behind the wheel. While things like following too closely and braking too late were easy to point out, anticipating the actions of other drivers and dealing with complex intersections only come with experience.
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are like newbie drivers, except with better-developed brains and billions of dollars in tech to help shorten the learning curve. But even with all their sensors and software, AVs still have flaws to overcome before they drive with complete confidence and competence.
In the race to get robocars on the road, several under-the-radar tech trends are coalescing to help make true AVs a reality—and maybe make my son's generation one of the last to learn to drive itself.
My new driver had to study the Oregon Driver Manual to learn the difference between, say, a stop and yield sign. AVs similarly learn the rules of the road, but through artificial intelligence (AI). Another requirement for my son is to log 50 hours with an adult in the car. AVs also acquire real-world experience by putting in hours on the road, but only in certain locations and conditions because of legal restrictions and weather.
Software such as Nvidia's Drive Constellation creates a virtual world to put AV systems through their paces.
AVs learn to interpret signs and other roadway info via a type of AI known as machine learning, which requires driving a route and humans verifying the data. Traffic-data company Inrix has a way for AVs to more quickly learn the rules even in places they've never driven. Inrix's AV Road Rules platform lets cities digitize their traffic infrastructure and rules. This not only creates a shortcut for AVs to memorize traffic rules but also allows them to operate from accurate data.
Audi employs a simulation platform from Cognata.
Once AVs know the rules, they need to apply them on roads. But just as I don't have 50 extra hours to spend driving with my son, AV operators have limited time and resources when logging miles.
A 2016 RAND study estimated that AVs "would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles to demonstrate their safety in terms of fatalities and injuries." But developers have found ways to speed up the process through simulation software, and most are using simulation to accelerate AV deployment.
While Waymo leads the pack in terms of real-world miles traveled testing its AVs—more than 9 million since parent company Google first kicked off the project almost a decade ago—it's able to achieve nearly the same number of miles every day using simulation software. "Having a proper simulation strategy is the only way that autonomous vehicles can train the sensors and decision-making functions for road testing and have the confidence that their technology is safe and ready," says Danny Atsmon, CEO of Cognata, which is working with Audi and others.
Simulation also allows AV developers to test for "edge cases" such as pedestrians and cyclists suddenly crossing in front of the car or when the sun shines directly into an AV's front-facing camera at sunset, temporarily blinding it.
Even with all their computing power and AI, situations remain that require AVs to call on human drivers for help. That's why most AVs testing on public roads need a human behind the wheel to take over when a self-driving computer gets confused or can't continue for some reason, such as when a road is closed or there's a temporary construction zone.
But as AVs shed components such as steering wheels and pedals and humans become cargo, they'll need to be remotely controlled; California's regulations for testing AVs on public roads that took effect in April require so. Enter teleoperation, the industry term for remotely operated AVs.
Teleoperation by companies such as Phantom Auto allows a human to remotely drive a vehicle in situations when the onboard tech needs help, such as a temporary road closure.
"Think of teleoperation as an air traffic controller for autonomous vehicles," says Jada Smith, VP of advanced engineering at Aptiv (formerly Delphi), which runs a robo-taxi program in Las Vegas in partnership with Lyft. But unlike air traffic control, AV teleoperators will be able to not only monitor but also operate self-driving cars when an autonomous vehicle encounters a situation it doesn't know how to handle.
NASA remotely controlled a series of Martian rovers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. That's why Nissan, meanwhile, has recruited former NASA scientists to apply a version of the space agency's teleoperations expertise to the automaker's autonomous vehicles and is testing remote control of a fleet of self-driving Leaf EVs at NASA's Ames campus in Silicon Valley.
Along with remote monitoring of self-driving cars, human drivers will also increasingly be under scrutiny, especially in the interim between SAE Levels 3 and 4 of autonomy when humans will need to be ready to take control at a moment's notice. Although cameras are already used in some cars to monitor drivers, such as with Cadillac Super Cruise, a new generation of cameras will move beyond simply detecting whether the driver's head is turned away from the road to include facial recognition and even be able to read emotions of passengers in fully autonomous cars.
Subaru introduced a feature on its all-new Forester, called DriverFocus, that uses facial recognition software to look for signs of driver distraction and fatigue. Part of the Subaru EyeSight suite of driver assists, DriverFocus can detect when someone is dozing off or looking away from the road for too long, and it will automatically stop the vehicle.
Cameras from companies such as Affectiva and eye Sight detect the emotional state of passengers based on facial expressions.
Renovo Auto is focused on creating a universal operating system for AVs called aWare. It incorporates sensor and software technologies and involves using cameras inside and outside a vehicle to capture emotions of passengers as well as pedestrians.
To provide this interaction, Renovo is working with AI startups Affectiva and Speak With Me to integrate their technology that analyzes the facial expressions and voices of passengers into the company's fleet of AV test vehicles.
Now, if it could only make my teenage son more responsive and personal when I'm in the car with him for those 50 hours.

Mr Yeltsin has sacked four prime ministers in 18 months. But why, when he is so close to the end of his final term of office, does he feel compelled to change his head of government so often?
Mr Yeltsin is, Kremlin insiders suggest, almost become obsessed with the issue of who will succeed him.
He is terrified by the thought that someone who does not share his vision of the "New Russia" might come to power and undo all that he has done in the last eight years.
The prime minister's job is the obvious launching pad for a successor. So he has tried one premier after another, and discarded them all for one or other reason - until now.
Vladimir Putin, it seems, is the man he is finally decided is best equipped to - as Mr Yeltsin sees it - defend democracy.
Mr Yeltsin has officially appointed him as his chosen candidate to succeed him as president. It is the first time Mr Yeltsin has gone this far with any of his prime ministers.
Many will find it ironic that the former security chief has been chosen for such a role.
Mr Putin, who graduated in law in 1975, served for 15 years until 1990 in the First Main Directorate of the KGB - the Soviet intelligence service.
Fired: Did Stepashin become too popular?
The president may have chosen Mr Putin precisely because of this background - perhaps only someone with the unique insight of a former spy could effectively control such an unruly country as Russia and win either respect or the grudging co-operation from disunited but highly critical opponents.
At the same time, many will question whether yet another switch at this late stage, and to such a politician with such a controversial background, will do anything at all for what's left of Mr Yeltsin's domestic credibility.
President Yeltsin came to power on a wave of optimism.
That optimism, and the patience of ordinary Russian people has been slowly worn away to the point where political crises have become nothing new.
He called up tanks to shell the parliament building, blasting out his opponents.
On that occasion, Russia came the closest to serious civil conflict since the revolution of 1917.
Even though the president's supporters would say that there is method in his madness, ordinary Russians who experienced the financial collapse of August 1998 believe the country has neither firm leadership nor direction.
Although constitutionally President Yeltsin is the man in charge of the country, there have long been doubts over his health which have led many to conclude that he is running the country in name only.
Earlier this year, advisors felt the need to quickly correct his radical pronouncements on the war in Yugoslavia and even went as far as to ask journalists not to report one particularly embarrassing pronouncement.
And when he sacked Yevgeny Primakov and his government in May, many observers concluded that Mr Yeltsin had finally lost touch with reality.
Tension mounted in the days following the sacking of Primakov when deputies in the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, attempting to impeach Mr Yeltsin, a move which ended in humiliation for the Communists who control the legislature.
Ultimately, Mr Yeltsin has given the country little leadership since his July 1996 re-election and has only appeared to exercise his power by returning from illnesses of varying degrees of severity to sack ministers and officials.
These actions have paralysed Russia's body politic since anyone bold enough to make a decision in the President's absence knows that they may well pay for it with their job.

I can think of about one hundred ways to use this Puttanesca Salsa. Over fish (pictured here), chicken, or lamb; as an ingredient in an organic sour cream dip; or tossed with Zucchini noodles or Cauliflower "rice." You will no doubt think of other ways to use it over the holidays or any time of the year once you taste this highly flavorful and extremely versatile salsa. No cooking required!
In the bottom of a medium bowl, combine anchovy paste, grated garlic, red pepper flakes, zest and lemon juice; and whisk in ¼ cup olive oil.
Add capers, olives, parsley, and tomatoes.
Toss and season with black pepper (optional).
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Q: Invalid typescript? I can't figure out why this function thinks a ) is missing from the end. When I do place the ) it creates a self executing function and generates javascript that isnt what I want.
Works
this.Events.off = (): any {
    var events = arguments[0],
        callback = arguments[1];
    if (typeof events === 'string' && typeof callback === 'function') {
        this._events.off.call(this._events, events, callback);
    }
    else if (typeof callback === 'function') {
        this._events.off.call(this._events, callback);
    }
};

Errors
declare var $, Backbone;

export class WebControls {

    _events;
    Events;

    constructor (options? ) {

        this._events = $.extend({}, Backbone.Events);

        this.Events = {};

        this.Events.on = (events: string, cb: (event: any) => any) {
            this._events.on.apply(this._events, arguments);
        };

        this.Events.trigger = (eventName: string, ...args: any[]): any {
            this._events.trigger.apply(this._events, arguments);
        };

        this.Events.off = (events?: string, callback?: any) : any {
            if (typeof events === 'string' && typeof callback === 'function') {
                this._events.off.call(this._events, events, callback);
            } else if (typeof callback === 'function') {
                this._events.off.call(this._events, callback);
            }
        };
    }

}

Am I blindly missing something obvious here?

A: In the screenshot code, you need either a 'function' keyword or a fat arrow after the parameter list.

House Hears Testimony on September 11 Attack in Libya
Posted October 10th, 2012 at 12:25 pm (UTC-5)
The U.S. House of Representatives has started hearing testimony on the situation in Benghazi prior to the September 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
The hearing Wednesday, which is being held by the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, includes testimony by Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Wood, the former head of the U.S. military team in Libya, and Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy.
White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan was in Libya Wednesday to discuss investigations into the attack with Libyan leaders.
Senior State Department officials told reporters Tuesday ahead of the hearing that they never concluded the assault was part of protests against an anti-Islam video. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the officials also said there was "nothing unusual" at the consulate site before the attack.
The Obama administration initially linked the attack to the protests, but administration officials later said it was a planned terrorist attack. The State Department is conducting its own investigation into the incident.
A memo detailing earlier testimony to a congressional investigator says Eric Nordstrom, the former chief security officer for U.S. diplomats in Libya, sent cables to Washington in March and July asking for more security officers in Benghazi, but got no response.
He said Charlene Lamb, a State Department official who is scheduled to testify Wednesday, believed the post did not need more security because it was equipped with a residential safe haven that could be used in case of emergency.
In the account given late Tuesday, the State Department officials said Ambassador Stevens, embassy officer Sean Smith and a security agent retreated to the safe haven after a large group of armed men entered the compound.
The attackers set fire to furniture inside the building, filling it with smoke that later forced the three men to flee. They became separated, and security forces who arrived to assist them found only the security agent on the roof and Smith's body.
The security forces were unable to find the ambassador, and retreated with the remaining people at the compound to an annex that also came under fire before they were able to evacuate.

Governor Urges Swift Action to Ease Prison Overcrowding
KPBS | By KPBS Public Broadcasting
Published February 26, 2007 at 3:30 PM PST
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's considering early release of some prisoners to deal with prison overcrowding. We'll get an update on the governor's efforts to ease prison crowding.
Last week, a state Superior Court judge said California CANNOT solve its prison overcrowding problem by sending inmates to prisons in other states -- even though there are nearly twice as many people in California's prisons as they were meant to hold. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's considering early release of some prisoners to deal with prison overcrowding. The state has been given 90 days to spell out how it will solve the long-standing overcrowding problem. If the federal courts are not satisfied, they may order the release of criminals and the construction of new prisons. Full Focus guest host Rosiland Jordan gets an update on the latest efforts to ease prison crowding. Guest
Paul Sutton, San Diego State University Criminal Justice professor.

What are the Monomers of Proteins
by Yashoda
What are Proteins
Before learning about the monomers of proteins, let us see what proteins are. Proteins are the natural polymers that play a vital role in life processes. Proteins make more than 50% of dry weight of cells and are present in large amounts than any other biomolecule. Therefore, they differ greatly from other major types of biomolecules including lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Most importantly, proteins are the most extensively studied biomolecules owing to their structure, functions, physiochemical properties, modification and their applications, especially in most advanced areas in science such as genetic engineering, eco-friendly material, novel composites based on renewable sources. Proteins as biomolecules are responsible for carrying out many major functions in biological systems, including enzyme catalysis (by enzymes), defense (by immunoglobulins, toxins and cell surface antigens), transport (by circulating transporters), support (by fibres), motion (by forming muscle fibres such as collagen, keratin and fibrin), regulation (by osmotic proteins, gene regulators, and hormones), and storage (by ion binding). Proteins are important renewable resources produced by animals, plants and microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. Some important plant-based proteins include zein, soy proteins and wheat proteins. Casein and silk fibroin are some proteins found in animals. Examples of major bacterial proteins include lactate dehydrogenase, chymotrypsin, and fumarase.
Proteins are formed by joining of a large number of monomer units. Proteins contain one or more polypeptides. Each polypeptide chain is formed by joining of a large number of amino acids through chemical bonds known as peptide bonds. The gene coding for that specific protein determines the sequence of amino acids. Once a polypeptide chain is formed, it folds up to give a specific three-dimensional structure, which is unique to that particular polypeptide chain. The conformation of a polypeptide chain is determined mainly by the amino acid sequence and multiple, weak interactions among the parts of the polymer chain. These weak interactions can be disrupted by applying heat or adding a chemical that ultimately changes the conformation of polypeptide 3-D structure. This disruption process is known as denaturation of proteins. Denaturation will ultimately stop the functional activity of proteins. Hence, the structure of the protein is very important to maintain their roles.
Proteins structure can be discussed in terms of four levels of structures; primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure of a protein is its amino acid sequence. There are two types of secondary structures; α-helix and β-sheet. The tertiary structure of proteins is determined by the three-dimensional structure, which can be either globular or fibrous. Tertiary structure is more complex and compact. Quaternary structure of a protein is far more complex due to its higher degree of folding patterns. Most of the proteins with quaternary structure, contain subunits, which are held together by non-covenant bonds. For example, haemoglobin has four subunits.
A monomer is the main functional and structural unit of a polymer. They are the building blocks of polymers. The monomer of a protein is an amino acid. A large number of amino acid molecules join together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains. Two or more polypeptide chains are joined together to form large proteins. Amino acid sequence determines the structure and function of a protein.
General structure of an Amino acid
There are 20 different amino acids that form all the proteins in the biological system by arranging in different sequences. The sequence of amino acids is known as the primary structure of a protein. When considering the chemical formula of an amino acid molecule, it contains three groups; amino group (-NH2), carboxylic acid group (-COOH) and side-chain (R group), which is specific to each amino acid. The simplest amino acid contains a hydrogen atom as the R group known as glycine.

University Education: A Luxury for the Rich?
In the aftermath of the shortages of university places this summer, comes another development – a potential rise in tuition fees. At present, the current cap for tuition fees is £3,290, but under a free market, universities would become free to charge more than £10,000 a year for course. The sharp rise would automatically price out many poorer students of a university education, as this article suggests.
A report by Lord Browne recommends that universities should be allowed the keep all the income from tuition fees up to an annual level of £10,000. The report also puts forward that universities should be allowed to cross this threshold if they pay a rising proportion of additional income into a central fund that could be used to help support students from poorer backgrounds.
If the recommendations of the report are accepted, it could have an enormous impact on the current university system, levels of student debt and the politics involved in accessing higher education in general.
Vince Cable, the secretary of state for business, innovation and skills and David Willetts, the higher education minister, are convinced of the need to increase fees alongside "progressive" measures to help the poorest.

Music for Cello and Orchestra is a composition for cello and orchestra by the American composer Leon Kirchner.  The work was commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra for the cellist Yo-Yo Ma.  The work was first performed by Yo-Yo Ma and the Philadelphia Orchestra under the conductor David Zinman in Philadelphia on October 16, 1992.  The piece was a finalist for the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Music.

Composition
The commission was made possible by a donation from the philanthropists Lillian and Maurice Barbash to commemorate their 40th wedding anniversary.  The music is cast in a single movement and has a duration of roughly 18 minutes.

Instrumentation
The work is scored for an orchestra comprising three flutes (doubling piccolo), three oboes, cor anglais, two clarinets, bass clarinet, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, three percussionists, piano (doubling celesta), and strings.

Reception
Reviewing a 1997 recording of the work, Gramophone wrote, "Leon Kirchner (b.1919), Ma's sometime teacher at Harvard, is a survivor from an older school, placing greater stress on internal logic and intellectual consistency even if he has moved away from the world of Arnold Schoenberg (his own teacher) to forge a personal style of 'euphonious dissonance'. There is here a rich, loving, almost Korngoldian lyricism, at first suppressed, at length permitted to flower."

Q: Is it worth to defragment XFS on SSD (many files)? I have quite old mail server (CentOS 6) of 4+ Tb mail in maildirs (so you may imagine numbe of files). It is VM (VMware 7) on SSD storage.
I wonder if I should care for FS fragmentation at all? I can afford to rsync whole storage to new VM disk (effectively make fragmentation to almost zero level), or run online defragmentation tool (since this is XFS), but should I care at all? SSD backed storage seems to forgive anything?

A: SSDs don't cost extra time to seek between distant parts of the disk, so the potential gains are very small.  Like at best just a tiny reduction in CPU usage for the server, maybe fractions of a percent as a wild guess.
But it's a valid question; if reads for multiple small files can be coalesced at the block level into one larger read, that's fewer commands sent to the SSD, so you'll get more of its available bandwidth.  At least that's a reasonable thing to hope for or wonder about.  Same for reading one larger file.
But it still probably doesn't justify actually doing anything, especially because XFS can only defrag individual files, not AFAIK group multiple small files into contiguous storage (in order of filename or otherwise).
Your files are mostly small and each individual file was probably written all at once, not appended later.  You say you have maildir, one file per email message. Not mbox like traditional /var/mail, where it's one file per mailbox with messages appended as they arrive.  In that case there might be fragmentation, although deleting a message involves rewriting at least the tail of the file from that point.
So that being the case, you probably don't have much fragmentation of the kind XFS can do anything about; most files probably only have one extent.  You can check with filefrag /var/mail/**/* | grep -v '1 extent found'.
For more detail you can use filefrag -e to see the individual extents of a file, or since you're on XFS you can use xfs_bmap to get the same info.  See a unix.SE answer for example output.

As @Roger Lipscombe comments, the physical flash cells that store a file's data might not be contiguous even if the logical block addresses are; the flash remapping layer inside the SSD might fragment at that level.  But that's fine; the SSD firmware should be able to read the necessary parts of flash with minimal overhead; unlike the kernel having to send commands in some protocol (SATA, SAS, or NVMe), the firmware is directly connected to the raw flash and it's probably not slower to read 2 separate regions than one longer region.

A: Defragmenting a solid state drives does nothing to increase disk performance as the seek/head movement times do not exist as in drives with moving parts. It will also increase wear on the chips which have a limited number of write cycles resulting in reduced lifetime.
If you need to to shrink a partition, you can do that with the drive unmounted.

A: You should not attempt to defragment a file / folder on an SSD. Defragment will not do anything useful for solid state storage and should not be used. "Fragmentation" does not really apply to the organization of cells in an SSD.
If you need to Shrink (reduce the space occupied by the machine) you can do this in VMware using the shrink command.
I use shrink a lot but you would have to try for the older machine. It should work.
Open a terminal session, from there run:
sudo vmware-toolbox-cmd disk shrink /

Allow the shrink to finish.  There is a terminal component that will reach 100% and then a VMware GUI Window that will shrink the machine.
Shrink will recover space and remove unused space in the machine but little if any impact in performance

A: How does defragmenting help?
When storing data on an HDD with a spinning disk, defragmentation reduces the mechanical seek time penalty significantly. Highly-fragmented filesystems on those devices can become extremely slow. Solid state devices do not have any seek penalty. However, modern high-speed SSDs are often IOPS limited, meaning that the rate at which commands can be sent over the bus is the bottleneck, not the ability of the device to access the actual data and service those requests.
Defragmenting a filesystem increases the number contiguous logical sectors in a given file. This can improve performance, even for an SSD, because reading a small portion of a file can be done with a single I/O request. If that same portion was fragmented, it might take multiple requests. This could easily saturate the bus when using an extremely-fast SSD with a heavily-fragmented filesystem.
However, there are better ways to improve performance.
Use TRIM instead
If you want to improve performance on an SSD, you have to help the SSD know which blocks can be erased by using TRIM. A TRIM command allows the filesystem to tell the SSD which sectors are empty and can be handed over to the garbage collector, even if they still have (unallocated) data on them. This greatly improves the device's ability to manage storage. On Linux, you can execute the command fstrim /var/mail (or wherever your partition is) to give the SSD a list of unallocated sectors that can be discarded. See fstrim(8) for more details on command usage.
TRIM greatly improves the ability of the SSD to counter write amplification and allows for better wear leveling. This will not speed up reads from the device, but it will speed up writes. If your drive has very little free space, there will be less benefit (after all, you wouldn't have many free sectors).
Solid state drives have their own form of defragmentation
Because the FTL (flash translation layer, a part of the flash controller) of an SSD is responsible for mapping logical sectors to physical sectors, there's no serious need to defragment a filesystem in most situations. The time it takes to defragment and the wear is generally not worth it.
SSDs will automatically attempt to optimize the storage of files. This optimization is subject to the limitations of NAND flash. To understand the limitations, we have to describe some terminology:
Cells are the smallest physical unit which stores data in a flash device. In SLC devices, each cell stores a single bit. MLC devices, each cell stores two (by holding four different voltage levels). TLC devices store three (by holding 8), and QLC, four (by holding 16). Multiple cells, plus some extra to hold error-correcting codes that help recover from failures of individual cells, make up a page.
Pages are a collection of cells that can be read from or written to at once. A page is how NAND flash devices implement physical sectors, and most pages are between 512 bytes and 4 KiB in size. Pages can only be written to if they have been erased (all bits initialized to 1). If a page has data on it, it cannot be overwritten without first being erased. This is due to the fact that a single bit can only be changed from a 1 to a 0. The other way around can only be done by erasing an entire page. However, it's not possible to erase individual pages. To erase a page, you must erase the entire block.
Blocks are a collection of pages and are measured in tens or hundreds of kilobytes. 128 individual 4 KiB pages may make up a single 512 KiB block. The only action that can be taken on an individual block is erasure. This will erase all pages that it contains. Any data in any of those pages that needs to be preserved must be moved to another block that has some erased pages already. This is done by the flash controller transparently. If you have very few free blocks, the controller may need to move some data around in order to write anything, which slows down writes continuously.
This poses a problem: In order to most effectively optimize writes, the SSD needs to know which sectors the filesystem no longer needs. However, block storage devices don't even have a concept of filesystems. They can't distinguish between a sector that is no longer allocated to any file but still contains leftover data and a sector that is still part of a file and must be preserved. Because making SSDs aware of filesystems would be a Sisyphean task, it's better to simply tell the SSD which sectors the filesystem no longer needs. Modern SSDs support this via TRIM.

xfi pods are not working and are not showing in my account. When I 1st got them they worked great. Now not working at all.
Seems after the outage last week everything was going haywire. Have 2 cameras out front that now don't work. All others do.
New modem was installed. That has gone off a few times on its own & my tv has gone off on its own as well.
Have you tried rebooting the cameras?
Have you reset the modem to reactivate the pods? Let's check out your signal levels too. Please send me a private message with your full name for help.
I did everything you mentioned. All cameras work everywhere except on the front porch. And 1 is on an NVR (with ethernet) and the other on a DVR (wifi). We also had a technichian here Thursday and he couldnt fix either. another tech. is coming today, hopefully shortly. Again my pods worked great and now they dont.
baston3, gotcha. When is the tech arriving today? I'd be happy to follow up when they are done.
The tech got the pods up & running. When the 1st tech came he changed the router/modem. Thoght this would fix the probelm. Didn't. Next tech came Saturday & tried a few options. Nothing worked. He finally switched out that modem/router to the newest one & this fixed the problem. Pods are now up & running as I stated. I did need to re-pair the camera. And this worked as well.
Don't know what happened to the pods!!! We did have a major outage along the east coast and after this the pods stopped working.


Dear Morgan's Group, I have never been so happy and grateful as I am right now to a company Morgan's. Thank you so much Morgan's Group for the superb job of cleaning my expensive carpet throughout the home of animal and outdoor mud stains. I have had three carpet cleaning companies coming through over the past 19 months to clean the carpets, each one failing miserably without success after many attempts to get the carpet clean. In desperation I was going through the Yellow Pages when I heard the jingle on the television "Morgan's clean as a whistle" without haste I picked up the phone and rang the number, receiving a quick response and a firm quotation - I am now looking at my "new" carpet without a water mark or stain to be seen. Thank you again Morgan's Group, Irina Hunt.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Pearl is an Owners Corporation registered in 2010 under ACT Legislation as Units Plan 3487. This A Class development, comprising 45 residential and 15 commercial units in four separate buildings, is located at Kingston Foreshore, ACT. In addition to cleaning of common areas, Pearl's Cleaning Scope of Works (QA document) includes managing its Garbage Clearance and Hopper Rotation Model (QA document) - a demanding job for any cleaning contactor who seeks to meet the high standards befitting such a quality development. Morgans Group has been Pearl's Cleaning Contractor since December 2012. During this time, Morgans has never missed a day of service, and has always been flexible when it comes to cleaning time changes or extra duties. I am continually impressed by Morgan's approach to customer service, and the fact that they take the time to routinely monitor the standard of service being delivered by their staff. Morgans staff are extremely polite and diligent and, most importantly, there are always swift and positive outcomes to matters raised from time to time. Pearl's Executive Committee is happy to recommend Morgans Group to a similar development requiring good customer service for a high quality outcome.
The Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities wish to verify that Morgans Carpet Cleaning have been our official cleaners since April 1989, when our new Chancery was opened. During this time, Morgans have displayed a willingness to comply with the various tasks called upon them. Their workmanship and expertise is of the highest standard and as a result of this the Delegation has relied more and more on Morgans for handling other maintenance requirements. The Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities would have no hesitation, whatsoever, in recommending Morgans Carpet Cleaning as a firm that anyone requiring cleaning .
We have had a contract with the Morgans Group for the daily office cleaning of the Chancery since July 2004. We have been pleased to periodically renew the contract since then because of the very professional, yet personal service they provide. We have been fortunate to have been allocated one of their longest term employees who is now literally regarded, as "one of our staff'. Like many of the Morgans' employees, he takes great personal pride in his work and often provides us with services outside the contract. Although not required, Morgans' supervisory staff periodically perform quality control inspection of our Chancery to ensure it is cleaned to their high standards. On the off occasions that our dedicated employee might be absent, Morgans' management give us advance notice of this and are always willing to provide a temporary replacement for him. This confirms our impression that Morgans is indeed a very professional company. We certainly have no hesitation in recommending the Morgans Group to other organisations requiring a high standard of office cleanliness.
It is now just two weeks since we had the flooding disaster at our residence due to the failure of a $15 plastic component in the dishwasher. As you know we were having a wedding on the next Saturday and were expecting guests to arrive all through that week. Christine and 1 were initially overwhelmed by the problems posed but were rapidly calmed by the very professional approach of you and your team. We were impressed by the efficiency of the arrangements to move the furniture, lift the carpets and remove the underlay and commence the drying process. Vince and all the other personnel we met were pleasant and obviously knew what they were about. The fact that you were aware of our wedding arrangements and organised the process so that we were back to normal on Friday afternoon was greatly appreciated. Our son and his wife out from England who were there when it all happened were amazed at the Australian approach as exemplified by this episode as they stated that in England such a response would be very rare. The wedding was a great success and thanks to the wonderful efforts of your team, Christine and 1 were able to enjoy the occasion. Thank you for your organization of this recovery effort and congratulations on having such a wonderful team. Could you kindly pass the personal thanks of Christine and myself to the staff who were involved for an impressive effort.
