– From the Editor's desk
This is the story of a married young lady Mrs. S from Bangladesh who fought cancer and was attending Cancer survivors' meet at CMC-Vellore.
Mrs. S was leading a normal life of a homemaker until 2017. Her hubsand is a government officer and they have a 15 year old daughter who is preparing for her class 10 board examinations. Her day was busy taking care of her mother-in-law who suffered a stroke recently. She single-handedly managed the household as they couldnot afford a maid. She enjoyed a healthy life and the only time she was admitted in a hospital was for her delivery 15 years ago.
She reports that one day as she was taking her bath, she felt a small lump in her right breast. She hesitantly revealed this to her husband after few days, who scheduled an appointment with the doctor the very next day. The doctor asked them for some routine tests including imaging and a biopsy which confirmed breast CANCER and advised them chemothearpy followed by surgery and radiotherapy.
She remembers the first time she heard the word 'cancer' from the doctor. She never heard her heart beat so loud, she said. The images of her daughter studying for her exams, her old mother-in-law ran before her. She felt blank, shaken and pale – her life now shattered. Her family was supportive but they too refused to believe that it could be cancer as no one in the family had suffered with cancer and S is so young and healthy. It was during these discussions that through word of mouth, they first heard about CMC-Vellore from a distant relative who herself survived breast cancer.
The journey hence began. It started with applying for passport, then visa, taking loan for medical treatment and finally coming to India. The couple recall this as a pilgrimage, hope that came alive as soon as they entered CMC. The Tamil, the blood tests, the patient rush, visits to Surgery, Oncology, Radiotherapy etc., all happened in a breeze. The diagnosis remained the same but their strength, they said, was renewed and they were ready for the fight. After about 8 cycles of chemotherapy and a major surgery, she returned to Bangladesh with lesser hair, weight (she apparently hated our South Indian food) but with an indomitable spirit. She returned to CMC after 2 months for radiotherapy. The fight with cancer was going well but their finances and other psychosocial issues were getting worse and that is when the psychologists and social workers stepped in to help! The doctor finally declared that her cancer was cured with no metastasis only requiring regular follow-ups!
I could not help wonder the trauma she has undergone, both physically and mentally. What must have truly gone through her mind when her cancer was confirmed and she learnt that it could sometimes be non-curable. Their middle socio-economic status probably has made treatment accessible but the difficulties they faced were no less! Surprisingly, she doesnot give the credit to herself at all. Mrs. S rather is filled with gratitude. She is thankful that her husband managed to get leaves and retain his job by working whenever they returned to Bangladesh. She is all praises for her daughter who has been a good girl when she was away for treatment and cleared her board exams. She is filled with tears when she speaks of her family who supported her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law who took care of her, like her own daughter. When I said, 'hats off to you', she simply replied saying, 'no, hats off to my family!' Now, she regularly visits CMC for her check ups and has remained free from cancer!
She struggled. She made a lot of compromises for her treatment. She fought against her fate. She managed life in a foreign land with a possibilty of dying in a hospital bed, some 2000 km away from home. She now eagerly lives to continue her happy family life and to see her daughter grow. She may have lost her beauty and hair under the surgical knife and chemotherapy but she won over fear and death.
Yes, she is a survivor!

How Anyone Can Design Labels for Drinks
BY KELLY A. MAGYARICS
Published April 12, 2021 on WineEnthusiast.com
To paraphrase first-century Roman gourmet Apicius, we drink with our eyes first. Many of us have ordered a wine or selected a bottle in a store because of its packaging or something about its label. It could be Hendrick's apothecary-inspired gin design, the pop art that's adorned Absolut offerings or 19 Crimes' labels that spring to life with our smartphones.
A 2016 study by wine.net said that of 2,000 wine drinkers surveyed, 82% made their selections based on the label. Great packaging melds style and substance, and behind each is a graphic artist or team tasked to create eye-catching designs that encapsulate the spirit and philosophy of the brand. Here's how to become one of them.

Pursue formal education or self-directed study
Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Notre Dame, with a focus in graphic design, Amanda Rockwell started her career as the sole designer at Seattle-based Precept Wine. Nine years later, as the company's creative director, she heads up a full-service, four-person team.
"If you're passionate about making this your career, learn as much as you can and hone your craft," she says. Rockwell advises those interested to seek online courses on the fundamentals—tools, processes and strategies—and create practice projects to build a portfolio.
Paula Schultz picked up artist gigs in high school and before going on to obtain a bachelors in interdisciplinary art and technology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She interned with Milwaukee Urban Gardens and Do414, and worked on campus as a designer for school restaurants operations. Now, she serves as senior designer for Bently Heritage Estate Distillery in Minden, Nevada, and is also a freelance illustrator for The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times.
Schultz advises students to "look at other creators you admire and your own passions for inspiration." Invent a mock brand for your portfolio or provide pro bono work for a friend's startup.

Draw on previous creative experiences
As she creates label artwork for Melvin Brewing in Alpine, Wyoming, Kelly Halpin calls upon her photography background. Raised in a family of artists who encouraged creativity, Halpin earned a degree in filmmaking. She realized that she preferred to tell stories in other ways and became a full-time freelance illustrator, a skill she brought to the beer industry.
Halpin began to collaborate with Melvin in 2010. She creates characters for packaging that embody the brewery's message of "fun and mayhem." She's excited to draft strong female characters like the mad scientist on the new Juice Theorem IPA.

"I try to come up with a character that encompasses a new concept and add a bit of quirkiness and flair," says Halpin. "Having a creative side is key, although I don't believe you have to be a 'professional' to come up with unique artwork."
Lauralee Végvári grew up in California wine country, where events like weddings, proms and graduations at wineries are common. She channeled her obsession with paper, fonts, graphics and style to create invitations.
A decade later, Végvári took a marketing position at Black Button Distilling in Rochester, New York. There, she found that her earlier experience translated well to her current role as brand designer.

Now she creates everything from labels to posters and custom shelving units in liquor stores. Végvári finds seeing her visions come to life to be immensely satisfying and validating.
"Clearly, design is aesthetic, but if you can, convey your character that speaks to people," she says. "The most successful [ones] form a connection with the consumer."
Understand that it's more than just creating a pretty package
"The designers I admire most are able to deeply understand the core essence of a brand and where it comes from, and can then conjure that into beautiful and effective packaging," says Luke McKinley, marketing director for Novo Fogo Cachaça.
McKinley earned a degree in international studies and a focus on ethnography. He gained experience by creating video and photo content and managing digital marketing. He works with Novo Fogo's CEO and graphic artists to oversee the company's packaging.

McKinley aims to balance consumer education about a less-familiar spirits category and the company's sustainability efforts with clear, concise information. Design chops are important, but so is the ability to convey unique attributes and sense of place.
Make art part of every day
"Graduating from an art school is not mandatory, but having art and culture every day is," says Julien Fort, co-owner and creative director of The Rooster Factory. The agency, based in Pasadena, California, specializes in the drinks industry.
He encourages would-be package artists to venture out to galleries, museums and bookstores, peruse street art and murals, and express their creativity. "Art is the spark and the source of everything," he says. "It's the engine, the fuel, the excitement, the joy."
Fort's first project was to illustrate a series of pinups engraved on alembic stills at a distillery in Cognac, France, inspired by World War II nose art painted on planes' fuselages. Today, he's the company's leading designer and illustrator.

Along with partner and co-owner Audrey Fort, they handle projects from inception to delivery, which includes brand identity, illustrations, packaging and visual communication. A few of their newest designs include packaging for Old Duff Genever, Insolito by Matusalem Rum and Ólafsson Gin.
Have an innovative, forward thinking and eco-conscious skillset
A major aspect of wine, spirits and beer packaging in recent years has been to reduce its environmental impact through lighter packaging made from recycled materials. Those who can display career skills in sustainable design may gain a competitive advantage.
Such is the case for Kind of Wild, a new e-commerce brand of certified organic and eco-friendly wines.
"We have the chance to be better and be more responsible when it comes to sourcing, designing and developing a brand," says Jordan Sager, who cofounded the company with brother Adam Sager. Todd Nelson acts as their chief marketing officer.

Initiatives include greener labeling and packaging, like the use of 100% recyclable linen and hemp labels printed from sugarcane, the elimination of unnecessary bottle tops and the adoption of lightweight bottles.
"A new brand design needs freshness that sets it aside from direct competition, but also tells a story in an attractive and meaningful way," says Jordan.
Become as educated as possible about the beverage industry
The challenge is to juggle urgent production deadlines while maintaining a creative mindset. Every day is both a sprint and marathon, says Fort.
To reduce the learning curve, become familiar with drinks and the way they are consumed, industry trends and graphic codes behind categories. Spend time in bars and liquor stores and talk to bartenders and consumers about their likes and preferences.
"The designs that resonate most with consumers, generate interest and sales and stick on the long term are the ones that tell a real, authentic, aspirational story," says Fort. "We're just telling stories with design."

McDonnell Ad Cites Praise, Leaves Out Criticism
By D'Angelo Gore
More on that governor's race in Virginia: Bob McDonnell, the GOP candidate and the former state attorney general, is running an ad that's meant to bathe his "comprehensive transportation plan" in a warm glow. Ironically, though, the ad's only reference for its claims is an editorial from the Washington Post in July that devotes far more space to criticizing McDonnell's plan than to praising it.
Part of the ad – the portion that cites the Post's critique of state Sen. Creigh Deeds' transportation plan – is outdated: Last week, Deeds – McDonnell's Democratic opponent – posted a much more detailed transportation proposal on his Web site. He also penned an op-ed piece about it that appeared in the Post on Sept. 23. The Post's editorialists immediately weighed in, praising Deeds for having the "political guts" to commit to raising taxes to deal with the state's transportation woes; in the same piece, the Post slammed what it called McDonnell's "smoke-and-mirrors, wing-and-a-prayer approach." None of this, of course, is in the ad, and a spokeswoman for McDonnell's campaign said the spot is scheduled to run through the first week in October, though that could change.
A breakdown in transportation funding and a desperate need for more and improved roads in the traffic-choked Northern Virginia suburbs makes this one of the state's most pressing issues, and no candidate can expect to be elected governor without addressing it. The earlier Post commentary did say that McDonnell's transportation plan "deserves credit for the extent and specificity of its proposals," but it also criticized many of those very details. For instance, the paper wrote that "[McDonnell] acknowledges that current funding sources are inadequate and proposes some new ones," but said, "[u]nfortunately, the new revenue he identifies is one-time-only, many years distant or paltry. And he does not explain how, in the absence of credible, reliable new funding, he would wring out more cash for roads without harming other crucial state functions and services." The Post said McDonnell's plan to sell state liquor stores to help fund highway and railway projects, which he highlights in the ad, was "a fine idea in principle, and one that might produce a one-time windfall of $500 million for roads, but it would also deprive the state of millions of dollars in annual income for substance abuse clinics and other programs." The Post, in fact, accused McDonnell of not being forthright with viewers:
Washington Post editorial, July 29: If Mr. McDonnell wants to shortchange education, public safety and health to pay for roads, let him say so clearly and honestly.
We suspect the McDonnell campaign was wearing its selective-vision goggles when it cut this ad.

Radiofrequency (RF) fields are widely used and, while it is still unknown whether children are more vulnerable to this type of exposure, it is essential to explore their level of exposure in order to conduct adequate epidemiological studies. Personal measurements provide individualized information, but they are costly in terms of time and resources, especially in large epidemiological studies. Other approaches, such as estimation of time-weighted averages (TWAs) based on spot measurements could simplify the work.; The aims of this study were to assess RF exposure in the Spanish INMA birth cohort by spot measurements and by personal measurements in the settings where children tend to spend most of their time, i.e., homes, schools and parks; to identify the settings and sources that contribute most to that exposure; and to explore if exposure assessment based on spot measurements is a valid proxy for personal exposure.; When children were 8 years old, spot measurements were conducted in the principal settings of 104 participants: homes (104), schools and their playgrounds (26) and parks (79). At the same time, personal measurements were taken for a subsample of 50 children during 3 days. Exposure assessment based on personal and on spot measurements were compared both in terms of mean exposures and in exposure-dependent categories by means of Bland-Altman plots, Cohen's kappa and McNemar test.; Median exposure levels ranged from 29.73 (in children's bedrooms) to 200.10 μW/m; 2; (in school playgrounds) for spot measurements and were higher outdoors than indoors. Median personal exposure was 52.13 μW/m; 2; and median levels of assessments based on spot measurements ranged from 25.46 to 123.21 μW/m; 2; . Based on spot measurements, the sources that contributed most to the exposure were FM radio, mobile phone downlink and Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial, while indoor and personal sources contributed very little (altogether <20%). Similar distribution was observed with personal measurements. There was a bias proportional to power density between personal measurements and estimates based on spot measurements, with the latter providing higher exposure estimates. Nevertheless, there were no systematic differences between those methodologies when classifying subjects into exposure categories. Personal measurements of total RF exposure showed low to moderate agreement with home and bedroom spot measurements and agreed better, though moderately, with TWA based on spot measurements in the main settings where children spend time (homes, schools and parks; Kappa = 0.46).; Exposure assessment based on spot measurements could be a feasible proxy to rank personal RF exposure in children population, providing that all relevant locations are being measured.

MPs warn government not to defraud taxpayers over Ugandan students in China
From Agencies,
Legislators have warned government to resist the temptation of using the plight of Ugandan students quarantined in Wuhan, China over Coronavirus, to defraud taxpayers.
The concern was raised by Ayivu County MP, Bernard Atiku, who claimed that the Ministry of Finance had sent up to $600,000 to Uganda's Embassy over and above the approved $61,000 meant for the Ugandan students stranded in the country.
Atiku urged the August House to interest itself in reports from students in Wuhan that not all of them have been given money.
"Students are saying that not all have received the money and even the US$618 being given out to each student cannot match the rising costs of living in Wuhan," said Atiku during the plenary sitting on Wednesday 11 March 2020.
The State Minister for Finance (Planning), David Bahati, explained that no money will be lost due to the error, as the Ministry had already asked the Ugandanmbassy in China to return what is above the approved US$61,000.
"It was just miscordinaton on our part, the original request was for US$600,000 but cabinet approved only $61,000. No money will be lost, and every student is getting what they are supposed to get," he said.
Bahati's argument did not seem to convince legislators who said it was becoming a tradition for Ministry of Finance to disburse excess funds, with the excess ending up misappropriated.
"This cannot just be negligence, it is a common occurrence in the Ministry [of Finance]; the Accounting Officer is often asked to remit back money but this money never goes back to the Treasury," said Reagan Okumu (DFC, Aswa).
Relatedly the State Minister for Health (Primary Health Care), Joyce Moriku Kaducu confirmed that one case of Coronavirus has been confirmed in Democratic Republic of Congo.
She however said that the Ministry would use the same measures used during the Ebola outbreak in the Congo to contain Coronavirus at Uganda's borders.

John Saunders Chase Jr. (January 23, 1925 – March 29, 2012) was born in Annapolis, Maryland, to John Saunders Chase and Alice Viola Hall. He was an American architect who was the first licensed African American architect in the state of Texas. He was also the only Black architect licensed in the state for almost a decade. He was also the first African American to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, which reviewed the design for the United States Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Chase received Distinguished Alumni Awards from Hampton University (1961) and the University of Texas at Austin (1989 and 1992).

Education and career
Chase attended Hampton University as an undergrad, graduating in 1948. On June 7, 1950, Chase enrolled in the University of Texas School of Architecture master's program, making the university the first in the South to enroll an African American. Upon graduation, no white firm would hire him, so Chase moved to Houston, Texas to teach at Texas Southern University and to start his own firm, which he owned and operated for over 50 years. Although he had been designing buildings since the late 1940s, Chase started officially practicing architecture in 1952. In 1963, he designed Riverside National Bank, the first black-owned bank in Texas. In 1971, he and 12 other architects founded the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA).

Awards
Over the course of his career, Chase received numerous accolades for his professional and civic achievements.

Others? MC: we should discuss our criteria for taking on datasets: is syntactic check enough? Do we want to run semantic ones, check the biology manually ones? We also need to discuss maintenance of datasets long term, what happens when annotations become stale and submitting groups have disappeared?
Training - depending on the level of participation that groups/individuals want, how should we handle training in GO best practices? Who will be responsible for training? Should we develop a standard set of training materials, including well annotated papers for new curators to initially practice/train on?
It might be helpful to develop a flowchart that guides potential contributors through the process and includes questions like, What stable identifiers will/can you use? Are the processes you want to annotate normal biological processes or related to disease pathology? These are all issues that have come up wrt helping potential contributors in the past.
Present: Judy, Melanie, Ruth, Seth, Kimberly, Pankaj, Moni. Regrets: Claire, Chris, Valerie.
In order to define the users and contributors we are planning to serve, let's clarify the goals and possible scenarios. We can receive annotations from groups that conduct their own, and/or help groups to produce their annotations, filling in gaps for curation that hasn't reached the GO database. Also, we would like to assist people who want us to incorporate their paper into our curation pipeline.
Leading GO curators towards the individual annotations they'd like to see.
"One time" Groups who wish to submit a GAF file with annotations.
Non-GOC Groups who wish to regularly contribute annotations using one of the available tools.
Contributions to the ontology: capturing ontology edits.
Offering Training: Kimberly offered example about a group wants to annotate lncRNAs - Rama started working with them. They have protein-to-GO accounts. Moni: Training and checking their annotations takes a lot of time. We will ensure that we improve on available documentation and create necessary training materials to facilitate this for other communities. Also we will need to ensure programatic QC methods to facilitate that process as well.
We should encourage metadata collection at time of publication. Authors could suggest GO terms that would be appropriate for their data. We will have to check them; good to keep in mind.
Melanie: We should also consider how annotations are going to be maintained in the future. Is there someone at GOC going to take care of the submitted annotations in the future?
Kimberly: certain GOC members will take responsibility for certain contributed data and their annotations.
Judy: Yes, it is true for some organisms. For other groups, e.g. synapse data, the ontology development is being done by us, and not much annotation is going to be done on that. The experts in Amsterdam and Broad (non-GOC) are going to be in charge of the annotations. It plays by ear. Who is available when they come.
Kimberly: Who takes care of old data / annotations? Old doesn't mean wrong, but needs to be maintained.
Pankaj: Planteome stepped in (NSF funded), and they have gone out to collect the various genomes that have been published (~80), collected data from ~60 of them, including transcriptomes (useful for traits and functions and evolutionary analyses). They now have GO annotations for ~60 genomes + transcriptomes. They run a pipeline for all of them, then make functional assignments. They are planning to do this on a yearly basis. About 2M gene products. ~6-10X annotations coming out of that work. These receive annotations from GO as well as phenotype, etc. Offers suggestion to work with GOC as a conduit to collect and grab majority of the plant community data and feed to GO consortium. Data are always open (goes to SVN and version control) and can also be accessed directly by GOC. In the process of cleaning some of those datasets. As they mature, will do their best to get closer and closer to meet GOC requirements. Suggestion to ask analysis platforms to offer data in GOC-compatible formats, e.g. GAF format.
Judy: Quality checks must be put in place before we can capture all these data to be incorporated to GO database. Perhaps we could offer a link to a repository where people can place the results of all their analyses. But we would check quality before incorporating to GO database. Encourages the use of InterPro2GO for annotations.
Seth: there will be various kinds of data absorbed: no reason why we couldn't expose different levels of data based on evidence codes. Example: "Default: curated data", then, flip some switches and now expose other data. We could offer an ecosystem that supports all of these aspects. Seth proposes a system for doing this that also keeps track of how far people have gone to make quality annotations. This is more on the technical side, but there has been some thought on how this could look like.
Kimberly: Would be great to have flowcharts on the GO website to assist users on the steps necessary to produce quality annotations that will pass the GOC test. Outlining the aspects we take for granted - e.g. you need identifiers - etc. This as an end-product. Also some people want to do annotations, but they are not necessarily biological processes: need to clarify this up front. "What you cannot do with GO annotations".
Seth: basic idea. For people trying to drop off data or making modifications. We propose a directory layout part of GitHub, web-accessible way of doing this. A metadata file and a very minimal directory layout. Anyone who does this will offer us material our tools can read. They fork the repo, drop in a GAF, change metadata fields, and commit to GH - this will allow us to do integrations tests and give them feedback about QC and content right away. This would allow us to distribute what Jenkins does to anyone who clones our repo. Seth set up a quick draft on GitHub. The idea would be to create a method of people being able to get feedback with little or no required interaction from GOC members, and giving us a way of contacting them. This offers initial feedback without much overhead. This also solves the problem of "where do we put these files"? We don't put them "anywhere", rather we create a repository. We would be able to tune this for anyone to come in, get basic QC; also, we would learn about who is trying to do this via 'call home' features, and we may choose to contact them or not.
Kimberly: is there an option for someone to go on our website and do this using a form?
Seth: this could be done as well, but the concern is that if we start spreading out, and without a larger framework, too many methods to gather data, effort may be too confusing. We should prepare that workflow for interested users, a training with video for the same thing at the beginning so everyone knows how to do it.
Ruth: Cytoscape tool goes off to loads of different resources. PSICQUIC (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/psicquic/view/main.xhtml) site selects which set of annotation or interaction data you want to incorporate in your network. What we suggest could encourage the use of tools to let people choose which datasets they want to include in their file.
Seth:Precisely. We will have the ability to offer highly curated material to "everything". For example: "I'd like to have an AmiGO instance that only looks at this set of the ontology, or only looks at these fields from a GAF." And then you'd discard it. Please take a look at the draft I proposed on GH (https://github.com/geneontology/contributor-data-pool). We think this is doable and easy. What needs to be talked about is how to keep track of how good are the data that are coming in.
Who they are gets them in the door?
Can they move it from one stage to another?
Do people advance in their level of curation?
Defining what state data have - we can use GH repo. If people are interested in exploring stand alone data repos, we can begin doing this now.
Judy: Pankaj's Planteome datasets are a great starting point for testing.
Seth: as part of the larger spec, I'll work with Justin on the data. Will need input from the biologists about the types of data we will capture. What is the minimum amount of data someone can 'get away with'?
There rest is metadata around the annotation.
Seth: The second order thing that gets picked up with unit tests is also important: OrcidID? email? Stage of annotation? Which of these fields are required? If someone sets up an independent repository of data, what metadata do we need to ensure tractability, licensing, and quality?
Pankaj: if we can start with standard GO annotation workflow e.g. HMM beans annotation or InterPro Scan annotation. Getting the data output in a GAF format from those tools.
Check data from Planteome with Justin, to test method for consumption.
Start drafting the flowchart that we will offer users.
Please take a look at the draft Seth proposed on GitHub (https://github.com/geneontology/contributor-data-pool). We need to discuss how to keep track of the quality of the data we consume.

Q: TableView scrollToIndex doesn't show entire row
*

*Application Type: mobile

*Titanium SDK: 3.1.1.GA

*Platform & Version: iOS 6.1

*Device: iOS Simulator

*Host Operating System: OSX 10.8.3

*Titanium Studio: 3.1.1.201306112235

I'm using the scrollToIndex method to scroll a tableView to display an entire row in view. This works fine for all rows except the last one. Right before I call scrollToIndex I'm updating a row with a new one that has a greater height. The scrollToIndex function does scroll to the last row in this case, but it only shows the top portion of it, and not the entire row. How do I get scrollToIndex to show the entire row?

A: scrollToIndex function have an optional parameter, animation. Look here!!.
On iOS, you can specify TableViewAnimationProperties object to control the position that the selected row is scrolled to, and whether scrolling is animated.You can look at following links for more information

2.Table View Scroll Position
Hope it helped you.

JUSTIN EDINBURGH- 'I WANT US TO BE A TEAM THE FANS WANT TO COME AND WATCH'
New manager wants team to produce high intensity football
New manager Justin Edinburgh says he believes he can help take Northampton Town forward.
"I feel I've got a lot to offer, I believe I've improved the clubs that I've been at and I'll be looking to do the same here," he said.
"In terms of an ethos I think first and foremost it has to be winning football matches.
"We need to win some games, how we do it is going to be in different ways because we need to get some wins on the board as quickly as possible.
"The style of play for a new manager to implement is easier than a formation because you need to work with the players you've got.
"I like my teams to play with a high intensity, on the front foot with controlled aggression.
"I want the fans to enjoy watching us play and when they leave the stadium I want them to look forward to coming back.
"We need to show a passion and attitude and teams need to fear coming here.
"We need to be a team that is hard to play against, someone who teams don't want to play against and a team who fans want to come along and watch."

The Twins
Benzion Firer
Publisher: Feldheim, 1983
The brutalities of World War II swept through the Jewish communities of Poland, leaving a legacy of death and destruction in their wake. Yudel and Esther Glick met their death willingly, as Heaven's martyrs, al kiddush haShem, but their twin children, Chaim and Brachah, survive. In all the chaos and confusion of the war, however, they are separated. Yet even great stretches of time and space cannot sever the bonds of the spirit which unite them in their strange journeys. With heartwarming courage, and faith, they travel across a landscape of death and destruction and eventually find shelter and hope in the Land of Israel. BENZION FIRER Born in Poland in 1914 to a rabbinical family of long standing, Benzion Firer received his ordination from three rabbinic seminaries. After World War II, he worked tirelessly to help Jewish refugees reach Eretz Yisrael. Since 1948, he and his family have lived in Moshav Nir Galim in Israel, where he serves as rabbi, scholar, teacher and lecturer. Rabbi Firer has also written a series of novels which depict with clarity and sensitivity the complex events of the last fifty years of Jewish history. Three of his books-The Twins, Saadiah Weissman and The Long Journey Home-have been translated into English by Feldheim Publishers.

Zagat's and The Washingtonian can't be wrong – or can they? Rated at the top of Washington restaurants by both Zagat and the Washingtonian, Kaz Sushi is known for its authentic Japanese "freestyle" food. The tag "freestyle" comes from giving the authentic Japanese dishes a slight Western touch. But are the taste buds of the average sushi-loving GW student ready for this restaurant? Zagat couldn't answer that.
The newly renovated bistro is very minimalist in appearance, but not in a trendy way. There is a fountain near the entrance and a sushi bar in the back. The walls are neutral, with Asian art hung around the room for accent. The restaurant is extremely small – its main dining room seats no more than two or three dozen diners. The tables are set close together, but that only adds to the Japanese feel. If Kaz were actually in Japan, the tables would be even closer together and more patrons would be packed into the restaurant, not sitting on the floor at low tables, as some might imagine. This cramped atmosphere can mean eating only inches away from other parties, which may get a little uncomfortable, especially for parties of two. But on the bright side, if your date is boring, you can just eavesdrop on the people next to you for a little entertainment.
The only thing really missing in the restaurant's new design is a bar. There's no place to wait for any late members of your party, save the lobby or your table. Also, the drink menu offers little variety, forcing you to choose from just a few kinds of saki, Asian beer or wine. A small assortment of cold and hot saki is available, but if you can't decide among them or are feeling adventurous, order the saki taster. You'll get small glasses of three different types of saki with a short description of each.
And you should feel adventurous if you are heading out to Kaz Sushi Bistro. While many people love most of the sushi available around town, the variety here isn't the tame American version we are used to. Just a couple of blocks away from the Marvin Center, the restaurant offers a much better-quality sushi than what those who only know it from J Street will be familiar with. The price is a little higher and you can't pay on Colonial Cash, but you'll leave more satisfied.
The variety of sushi here includes all the standards, from yellow tail, tuna or salmon nigiri (slivers of fish laid on top of rice) to California or salmon skin maki rolls (which are the traditional rice and seaweed wraps around a core of fillings). There are, however, a few choices that are anything but standard. If you're the daring type, try the sea urchin, smelt roe (fish eggs) with quail eggs or lobster meat with wasabi mayo nigiri sushi. Yes, it's a mouthful to pronounce, but the mouthful you eat will make your pronunciation struggles well worth it. Sushi ranges from around four to six dollars, so a large meal will add up to a good-sized bill.
Kaz Sushi Bistro boasts a number of unique sushi creations for the bolder sushi buff, including Tuna with Foie Gras ( a pate made of duck or goose liver), salmon with mango sauce (one of the best dishes), plum wine-infused duck foie gras, salmon with jalapeno roll, and asparagus and roasted bell pepper roll, just to name a few. The foie gras gives an unexpectedly smooth taste to the fish, and the mango sauce gives a unique sweetness to the salmon. These dishes are an interesting treat for anyone willing to think – and eat – outside the box.
If you have a sensitive pallet and don't enjoy wasabi, beware – the sushi chefs put a small sample of wasabi under each piece of fish on the nigiri sushi. The wasabi here is also something special. The Bistro serves regular wasabi with all sushi, but for an extra three dollars you can enjoy "real" wasabi. The difference? The regular wasabi is made from ground powder, while the real wasabi is scraped from the root to create a green, creamy sauce with a more pungent taste and a more vivid color. For only three dollars, it's worth a try.
If sushi isn't enough for you, there are a number of "small dishes" to choose from. Grilled baby octopus, Asian tender short ribs and Japanese-style duck confit with wasabi-miso sauce are just a few of the choices available. These dishes are fairly small for the price you pay, but when you dine at Kaz, you are going for the experience, so trying one of these is worth it. But be sure there's at least a chance you'll like what you're ordering, or you might find yourself chomping away on a chewy piece of clam tempura with a sour expression on your face.
For the ultimate intrepid experience, order the Fugu Kara Ageh, or fried blowfish. This is only in season in March and April, so call ahead to make sure it will be available when you go. Why is this delicacy so delicious? Because only specially trained chefs can prepare this meal. If a strict regimen is not followed in preparing the dish, eating blowfish can be deadly.
Not a restaurant for the tame, Kaz Sushi Bistro provides patrons with an authentic Japanese experience, or the closest thing to it without having to travel to Tokyo. For those who truly love authentic Japanese cuisine, the Bistro is the place to go, but if your subdued taste buds are satisfied with J Street sushi, skip this restaurant. With its small dining room, Kaz can afford to be exclusive.

Q: See network requests spike but nginx log shows nothing special So it is not http requests that's bombarding our server it seems.
Which log should I look at in order to know what kind of requests the host is receiving?
I'm attaching the monitoring info of the ec2 instance

A: VPC Flow logs are the best way to diagnose this type of network issue in AWS.
They will give you metadata about each flow in your VPC. They don't log packet contents, just that a flow happened. This will let you see the source, destination, port, and protocol of the request, and there will be a matching entry about the response. They're not the easiest things to understand, but maybe there's tools to help with that.
Remember to set a retention period on your CloudWatch Logs stream that holds the VPC flow logs, as a busy VPC can quickly create a lot of data, increasing storage costs. Also, turn the VPC flow logs off if you don't need them on.

Mitral valve dysplasia is a congenital malformation of the mitral valve leaflets or any other component(s) of the mitral valve complex. This condition occurs in dogs and is a common defect of cats. The severity of mitral regurgitation determines the degree of left heart enlargement and the risk of left-side CHF. A systolic murmur is heard over the left apex. The diagnosis is made by echocardiography, and treatment of CHF, if present, is indicated.
Congenital malformation of the mitral valve complex (mitral valve dysplasia) is a common congenital cardiac defect in cats. Canine breeds predisposed are Bull Terriers, German Shepherds, and Great Danes. Mitral valve dysplasia results in mitral insufficiency and systolic regurgitation of blood into the left atrium. Any component of the mitral valve complex (valve leaflets, chordae tendineae, papillary muscles) may be malformed, and often more than one component is defective.
Pathophysiology of Mitral Valve Dysplasia in Animals
Malformation of the mitral valve complex results in significant valvular insufficiency. Chronic mitral regurgitation leads to volume overload of the left heart, which results in dilatation of the left ventricle and atrium. Severe mitral regurgitation can subsequently result in pulmonary venous congestion and left-side CHF. Dilatation of the left-side chambers predisposes affected animals to arrhythmias. When mitral regurgitation is severe, cardiac output decreases and signs of poor cardiac output may occur (weakness, syncope). In some cases, malformation of the mitral valve complex causes a degree of valvular stenosis as well as insufficiency.
Clinical Findings and Treatment of Mitral Valve Dysplasia in Animals
Mitral regurgitation creates a holosystolic heart murmur heard loudest over the left apex, similar to the murmur of acquired degenerative valvular disease
Echocardiography shows malformation of various components of the mitral valve apparatus, with varying degrees of regurgitation and, less often, stenosis
Animals exhibiting clinical and radiographic evidence of left heart failure (pulmonary edema) should be treated medically
Clinical signs correlate with the severity of the defect. Affected animals may display signs of left-side CHF. A holosystolic murmur of mitral regurgitation is prominent at the left cardiac apex. A diastolic heart sound (gallop rhythm) is present in some cases. Affected animals may have a precordial thrill over the left cardiac apex. Electrocardiography may demonstrate atrial arrhythmias (atrial premature complexes, atrial fibrillation), especially in severely affected animals with left atrial dilatation. There may also be evidence of both left atrial (widened P waves) and left ventricular enlargement. Thoracic radiographs may demonstrate severe left atrial enlargement. Left ventricular enlargement and pulmonary venous congestion can also be noted.
Echocardiography demonstrates malformation of the mitral valve complex (fused chordae tendineae and thickened, immobile valve leaflets, abnormal appearance to the papillary muscles) and left atrial and ventricular dilatation. Doppler echocardiography demonstrates severe mitral regurgitation. Evidence of mitral stenosis can be identified on the echocardiogram.
Prognosis for animals with clinical signs and severe mitral valve dysplasia is poor. Mildly affected animals may remain free of clinical signs for several years. Animals with CHF should be treated medically. For therapy of progressive left-side CHF, see management of heart failure.

How to Prevent Acne After Shaving?
As men, we are fortunate enough to not have that many cosmetic or beauty routines in our daily lives. Most of us probably just brush our teeth, maybe put a little gel in the hair and shave daily or several times a week. Just because our morning routine might be easy, that doesn't mean that sometimes issues will not come up.
One of the most frustrating aspects to deal with is razor burn or acne that comes from shaving. Does traditional shaving cause acne? Yes, it does, but there are ways to prevent it. Those annoying red bumps or a few pimples here and there can be bothersome, painful, and even hinder our confidence. Well, we're going to share some tips to help you get rid of the undesirable side effects of traditional shaving.
If you've ever wondered how to prevent acne after traditional shaving and eliminate razor burn, you'll be happy to hear that it can be solved (or at least significantly reduced) by a few different approaches. The first step is understanding what causes these skin irritations; then you will see that much of the results depend on prevention.
Unlike when kids go through puberty, acne after traditional shaving is slightly different. In general, acne occurs when hair follicles and pores become clogged with a number of substances (shaving creams, gels, foams, oils, dirt, dead skin cells, lotions, etc.) and become inflamed/irritated. When shaving traditionally, the act itself stirs up dead skin cells with shaving foam, gel or cream of your choice and oils that get deposited in the freshly shaved hair follicles.
This painful irritation can be caused by a few things -- dull razor blades, too many razor strokes on the same spot, not applying warm water prior to shaving, no lubrication, too much pressure, and even your shaving cream, gel, or foam. Razor burn often feels like you shaved the top layer of your skin off and can be extremely uncomfortable, red and inflamed.
Before you shave, take a hot shower, moisturize the shaving area with warm/hot water, or apply a warm towel for at least 30 seconds. The heat and moisture will help soften the hair, open the pores, and remove any loose surface dust. There are pre-shave liquids on the market that say they help, but often adding more chemicals -- potential irritants -- to the skin is mostly a bad thing.
Choosing the right shaving cream or gel for your skin is important… at least that is the "advice" that the multi-billion dollar companies are telling us. In reality, most of us know that in most cases this is just another trick they use to make us believe we are the problem not their questionable ingredients.
Angled-blade razors that offer as many as five blades in one razor head, help get closer shaves and reduce the amount of pressure by spreading it over five blades. However, do yourself a favor and stop buying razors with "lubricating" strips. The "lubricating" strip is filled with harmful chemicals and it does more bad than decent.
There is a lot of conflicting information out there about whether more or fewer blades are better.Razors that offer five blade cartridges will be better because they disperse the pressure and make several, increasingly closer cuts to the hair, thus reducing skin irritation and a high possibility of cutting yourself if you choose a lower number of blades.
Shave in the same direction that the hair naturally grows. This will reduce the "pulling" and irritation.
You can choose to use an aftershave cream or lotion to help moisturize your skin and reduce irritation. However, most of these products are made with harmful ingredients whichmay increase the irritation and inflammation because your pores will be still open and the chemicals in the products may lead to adverse results.
Often, the best finishing step is to use cold water on your freshly shaved skin. This will close your pores and the cold temperature will help reduce the inflammation.
If you've tried all these tips already with no avail or are tired of wasting money on shaving creams, foams, gels, and razors with "moisturizing" strips then maybe it's time you try Aqua Jet Razor.
This razor is the first and only razor in the world that uses water instead of shaving creams, foams and gels. The water flows through the razor between the blades onto the skin, thus, eliminating clogged blades, skin irritation, and the need for ever buying gels or creams. You will shave and moisturize at the same time, getting the most natural shave you've never had with 5-blade razors.
Let razor burn and acne from shaving be a thing of the past. To learn more, check outhttps://aquajetrazor.com/pages/faq.

The Ultimate™ ORF (Open Reading Frame) Clones are human and mouse clones designed to provide the maximum flexibility in all of your research applications. The Ultimate™ ORF Clones are provided in a Gateway® entry vector, pENTR™221, allowing you to rapidly and efficiently transfer the ORF of interest to any expression (Gateway® destination) vector and perform gene analysis in your system of choice.
The amino acid sequence (coding sequence) of each Ultimate™ ORF Clone is guaranteed to match the corresponding GenBank amino acid sequence. The Ultimate™ ORF Clones are not guaranteed to exactly match the GenBank base pair sequences.
Each is sequenced for full-insert coverage and contains a Gap4 sequence quality of 40 or greater at each consensus base (representing < 1 error per 10,000 bases).
Supplied as a Gateway®-compatible entry clone Enables rapid and efficient transfer of the ORF into any expression (Gateway® destination) vector for performing gene analysis in bacterial, mammalian, yeast, or insect system of choice (see Note below).
Note: The pENTR™221 vector contains a Kozak consensus sequence upstream of the ATG to provide optimal expression of the ORF after recombination with any eukaryotic Gateway® destination vector of choice (e.g., mammalian, insect, yeast). The pENTR™221 vector does not contain a Shine-Dalgarno sequence (RBS) for optimal expression in a prokaryotic system (Shine & Dalgarno, 1975). To express the ORF in a prokaryotic system, you need to recombine the entry clone with an appropriate destination vector containing an N-terminal fusion tag. The N-terminal fusion tag in some destination vectors for prokaryotic expression includes a Shine-Dalgarno sequence (RBS) optimally spaced from an ATG initiation codon for proper translation initiation in E. coli.
You may use the following destination vectors available from Invitrogen that contain an N-terminal fusion tag for prokaryotic expression.
Vector Fusion Tag Catalog no.
Note the expression of your protein with the N-terminal tag will increase the size of your recombinant protein. Be sure to account for any additional amino acids between the fusion tag and the start of your protein.
1. Generate an expression clone by performing a LR recombination reaction between the Ultimate™ ORF entry clone and a Gateway® destination vector of choice.
Introduce your expression clone into the appropriate host (e.g. bacterial, mammalian, yeast, insect) and express your recombinant protein.
For more information about the Gateway® Technology, refer to the Gateway® Technology with Clonase™ II manual. This manual is available for downloading from our website ( www.invitrogen.com) or by contacting Technical Support.
A mammalian expression vector into which the gene of interest will be cloned. This vector is in a configuration that is compatible with expression of a C-terminal recombinant fusion protein using the Tag-On-Demand™ System.
For more information on the Tag-On-Demand™ System, see the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant manual. This manual is available for downloading from our website at www.invitrogen.com or by contacting Technical Support .
General guidelines for using the Ultimate™ ORF Clones are described in this section.
To perform the LR recombination reaction with a Gateway® destination vector. To use the Tag-On-Demand™ System for expressing the Ultimate™ ORF Clone in a mammalian cell line of choice see below.
Streak a small portion of the glycerol stock you received on an LB plate containing 50 μg/ml kanamycin.
Incubate the plate at 37° C overnight.
Isolate a single colony and inoculate into 5-10 ml of LB containing 50 µg/ml kanamycin.
Grow the culture to stationary phase (OD600 = 1–2).
Mix 0.8 ml of culture with 0.2 ml of sterile glycerol and transfer to a cryovial.
Store at –80° C. Use one master stock to create working stocks for regular use.
To isolate plasmid DNA, you need to grow a culture of T1-Phage Resistant E. coli containing your Ultimate™ ORF clone. Use LB medium containing 50 μg/ml kanamycin to select single colonies and to grow a culture. Use a culture volume appropriate for the amount of plasmid needed for your plasmid isolation method of choice. You will need ~150 ng of DNA for the LR recombination reaction.
We recommend isolating plasmid DNA using a resin based method such as the PureLink™ HiPure Plasmid Miniprep Kit or the PureLink™ HiPure Plasmid Midiprep Kit.
Shaded regions correspond to those DNA sequences transferred from the entry clone into the destination vector following recombination.
Underlined sequence corresponds to the Kozak consensus sequence (CACC).
The last nucleotide T in the attL1 sequence is changed to an A in Ultimate™ ORF Clones to generate the Kozak consensus sequence. This change in the nucleotide sequence does not affect the efficiency of the subsequent LR recombination reaction.
Each Ultimate™ ORF Clone is supplied as a Gateway®- compatible entry clone. To perform the LR recombination reaction, you will transfer the gene of interest into an attRcontaining destination vector to create an attB-containing expression clone. Genes in the Ultimate™ ORF entry clone are transferred to the destination vector backbone by mixing the DNAs with the Gateway® LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix. The resulting recombination reaction is then transformed into E. coli and the expression clone is selected. Recombination between the attR (destination vector) and attL (Ultimate™ ORF entry clone) sites replace the ccdB gene in the destination vector with the gene of interest and results in the formation of attB sites in the expression clone. A brief protocol to perform the LR recombination reaction is provided below. For more details on the LR recombination reaction, refer to the Gateway® Technology with Clonase™ II manual. This manual is available for downloading from our website at www.invitrogen.com or by contacting Technical Support .
Note: If your destination vector or entry clone is large (>10 kb), you may linearize either vector to increase recombinational efficiency. You may also relax the destination vector using topoisomerase I to increase efficiency. For details, refer to the Gateway® Technology with Clonase™ II manual.
A large selection of Gateway® destination vectors is available from Invitrogen to facilitate expression of your gene of interest in virtually any protein expression system. For more information about the vectors available, refer to our website ( www.invitrogen.com) or contact Technical Support.
You may use any recA, endA E. coli strain including TOP10, DH5α™, DH10B™or equivalent for transformation. Do not transform the LR reaction mixture into E. coli strains that contain the F' episome (e.g. TOP10F'). These strains contain the ccdA gene and will prevent negative selection with the ccdB gene.
Use LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix (Catalog no. 11791-020) to catalyze the LR recombination reaction. The LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix combines the proprietary enzyme formulation and 5X LR Clonase™ Reaction Buffer previously supplied as separate components in LR Clonase™ enzyme mix into an optimized single-tube format for easier set-up of the LR recombination reaction. Use the protocol below to perform the LR recombination reaction using LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix.
Note: You may perform the LR recombination reaction using LR Clonase™ enzyme mix, if desired. To use LR Clonase™ enzyme mix, follow the protocol provided with the product. Do not use the protocol for LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix as reaction conditions differ.
Add the following components to 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes at room temperature and mix.
Remove the LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix from –20°C and thaw on ice for 2 minutes.
Vortex the LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix briefly twice (2 seconds each time).
To each sample (except the negative control), add 2 µl of LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix. Mix by vortexing briefly twice (2 seconds each time). Return the LR Clonase™ II enzyme mix to –20°C immediately after use.
Incubate reactions at 25°C for 1 hour.
Note: One hour incubation generally yields a sufficient number of colonies for analysis; however, the length of the LR reaction can be extended up to 18 hours. For large plasmids (>10 kb), overnight incubation yields more colonies and is recommended.
Add 1 µl of the Proteinase K solution to each reaction. Incubate for 10 minutes at 37°C.
Transform 1–2 µl of the reaction into a suitable E. coli host and select for expression clones (refer to the Gateway® Technology with Clonase™ II manual on our website).
Note: You may store the LR reaction at –20°C for up to 1 week before transformation, if desired.
If you use E. coli cells with a transformation efficiency of ≥ 1 x 10 8 cfu/µg, the LR reaction should yield > 5000 colonies if the entire reaction is transformed and plated.
The Ultimate™ ORF Clones are compatible for use in the Tag-On-Demand™ System to express native or C-terminally tagged recombinant protein in mammalian cells from the same expression construct using the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant. This section provides brief guidelines to use the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant. For detailed protocols, refer to the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant manual available from www.invitrogen.com or Technical Support.
Once you have generated your expression clone, you must isolate plasmid DNA for transfection. Plasmid DNA for transfection into eukaryotic cells must be clean and free from contamination with phenol and sodium chloride. Contaminants will kill the cells, and salt will interfere with lipid complexing, decreasing transfection efficiency. We recommend isolating plasmid DNA using a resin based method, such PureLink™ HiPure Plasmid Miniprep Kit or PureLink™ HiPure Plasmid Midiprep Kit or CsCl gradient centrifugation to isolate plasmid DNA.
For general guidelines and a detailed protocol, refer to the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant manual available from www.invitrogen.com or Technical Support.
Option 1: Add the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant to cells, followed immediately by transfection with the expression construct containing your gene of interest. We recommend using this option to quickly screen for expression (or localization, if possible) of your recombinant protein or to screen for expression of a large number of genes. Refer to the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant manual for guidelines and protocols to perform simultaneous transduction and transfection.
Option 2: Generate a stable cell line expressing your gene of interest, then transduce cells with the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant when you want to assay for C-terminally-tagged recombinant protein. After you have created your stable cell line, refer to the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant manual to transduce cells with the Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant.
The Tag-On-Demand™ Suppressor Supernatant contains recombinant adenovirus that is deleted in the E1 region. The adenovirus is replication-incompetent in any mammalian cells that do not express the E1 proteins. When using the Tag-On-Demand™ System, do not perform expression studies in 293 cells or in any cell line that expresses the adenovirus E1 gene (Graham et al., 1977; Kozarsky & Wilson, 1993; Krougliak & Graham, 1995). Viral replication will occur in these cells, leading to rapid death of the target cell within 1–2 days after infection.

Flexible and Ultra-thin Illumination Solutions for Aircraft Seats Grant New Design Freedom
Fiber optic solutions from SCHOTT maximize design flexibility while minimizing project risk
The inside cabin of a passenger aircraft contains a number of components that play an important role in passenger comfort, and in turn, brand loyalty. For example, seats are considered to be a key element in differentiating airline brands, and for that reason, the design, comfort, and functionality of the seats are given top priority. Seat lighting also plays a particularly important role because it performs both functional and emotional tasks. The lighting expert SCHOTT offers a wide variety of different lighting concepts, based on both fiber optic and LED solutions, for airplanes, and will present these products at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (Booth 6B31) in Hamburg, Germany from April 14 to 16, 2015.
"Our customers place great importance on maximum freedom in aircraft seating design," explains Yvonne Winter, Product Manager for Seat Lighting at SCHOTT Lighting and Imaging. "For example, a transition toward increasingly lighter and thinner seat shells is occurring in both economy and business class. At the same time, more lighting elements are being integrated throughout the seat, including pure reading lights, functional lighting for illuminating compartments, ambient lighting in seat foot wells, and side lighting of the table surface."
Additionally, airlines and seat manufacturers want development times and costs to be as low as possible, and are interested in taking as little risk as possible when it comes to product tests. "With our lighting concepts, we enable airlines to develop their own individual seats and make use of lighting components that have already been officially approved," notes Winter. "This means they can be creative and yet save time and money."
SCHOTT's solutions combine a firmly anchored, approved LED light source with fiber optic light guides that transport the light from the light source to all desired locations. The light source is anchored beneath the seat and is therefore invisible to the passenger's eye. For its future solutions, SCHOTT will rely on RGBW light sources with a high degree of color stability for all of the protruding light guides.
"The combination of a light source and multiple light outlets ensures the same color transmission for each outlet, and therefore provides homogeneous illumination of the entire seat," explains Winter. The various light guides that are connected to the light source are extremely thin and flexible. In fact, they are less than 5 mm thick and have a bending radius of around 15 mm. This allows them to be easily inserted into areas of the seat shell that are difficult to access. Furthermore, the fiber optic light guides are passive and do not contain any power supply lines. This means they do not generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) or undesirable heat.
Because the LED light sources and light guides have already been tested, only the customer-specific spot designs must be re-tested when approving the seat. SCHOTT is already successfully supplying its fiber optic lighting products to select seat manufacturers and airlines. For example, the SCHOTT® HelioLine Mood Light is already being used successfully by several airlines. The SCHOTT® HelioFlex Mood Light has also been integrated into passenger seats, and is now being used to illuminate aisles. It is extremely durable thanks to its metal and glass structure and even stands up to the unavoidable suitcase impacts.
"The design possibilities are abundant with SCHOTT's lighting solutions, which can be tailored to match specific customer needs," adds Winter. "There are no limits to creativity, yet at the same time, elements can be replaced on an individual basis. This is what is so attractive about our modular approach."

Biografia
Josep era figlio di Josep Galceran I de Pinós-Santcliment, II signore di Santa María de Barbará, e di Maria de Rocabertí, signora di Rialb, Torre Salbana, Tagamanent, Vilafortuny, Graell e la Vansa.

Attivo nella politica barcellonese al tempo di Carlo II di Spagna, il nobile Josep si recò nel 1702 a Martorell per accogliere, come delegato del consell barceloní, Filippo V di Spagna, il quale gli concesse, il 12 luglio 1702, il titolo di marchese di Santa María de Barbará. Egli, tuttavia, in qualità di membro della commissione creata dalla Generalitat de Catalunya, si pronunciò poi contro Filippo di Borbone dubitando (a buon diritto) della autenticità della firma che Carlo II di Spagna avrebbe apposto al suo testamento. Da allora cospirò contro Filippo e, prendendo parte attivamente alla Guerra di successione spagnola, si schierò a favore dell'arciduca Carlo.

Alle Cortes del 1705-1706 venne creato conte e poco dopo marchese. Fu rappresentante, in materia di difesa, dell'arciduca Carlo davanti alla generalitat durante l'assedio di Barcellona del 1706 e, nel 1707 fu creato Grande di Spagna. Tra il 25 luglio del 1713 e l'11 settembre del 1714, durante l'assedio di Barcellona, fu acceso sostenitore dell'ostinata resistenza della città contro i Borbone e, quando la città cadde, fu fatto prigioniero e portato prima a Pamplona e poi a Burgos, dove morì nel 1718.

2 teen girls arrested in stabbing that killed woman at Ohio home
NEW CARLISLE, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a 15-year-old girl and a 13-year-old girl have been arrested in a stabbing at an Ohio home that killed a woman and injured a man and a 17-year-old boy.
A Clark County Sheriff's Office release says the girls are accused of conspiring to kill the adults and the boy at the victims' New Carlisle home Thursday. The release says the girls were arrested on murder and felonious assault charges.
Deputies responded to a 911 call around 3 a.m. Thursday about a stabbing at the home. The release says deputies found the three injured people and the 15-year-old suspect who had been restrained by the man and the boy. The woman died later at a hospital.
The sheriff's office said the 13-year-old is believed to have helped plan the attack.

Q: Django changing the default object manager Is there a way to change the default object manager for all Models? (which would include the object managers on third party apps)

A: The default manager is attached in the function ensure_default_manager in django.db.models.manager. It attaches by default a manager of class Manager. You could monkeypatch this function to attach a different (subclass of) Manager.
But you have to consider whether this is the most ideal solution to the problem you're trying to solve.

A: If you really need to do that modify the django code itself. Monkey patching is an option also, there are a lot of techniques for that out there.

Brijuni Islands With Kids
Just along from Bi-Village holiday resort in Croatia, where we were staying in an Al Fresco Holidays mobile home, is Fazana. A lively little town which is home to the Brijuni Islands National Park Office and the place to catch the boat across to the Brijuni Islands.
Fazana is only 1km along the shore from Bi-Village campsite, so it's not far to get to from the campsite. Our boys are 4 and 6 years old and managed to walk there (via a park on the shore) and back again no problem (although a fair bit of moaning on the way back!).
The Brijuni Islands are located a mile off shore from the Istrian peninsula of Croatia, in the Adriatic Sea. There are a total of 14 islands and most people visit the largest island, Veli Brijun, on day trips or for a short stay in the hotels.
Visiting Veli Brijun
To visit the largest island you need to contact the national park office a few days before to book the trip. Once booked you can pick up and pay for the tickets on arrival at the office in Fazana. The tickets give you admission to the national park, the boat trip and a guided tour of the island.
The boat trip is fun in itself and it's great to see Fazana from the sea. But it's the island that's the main attraction and we weren't disappointed!
When you arrive on the island there will be more than one road train waiting with guides holding different language signs. We can only speak English, so headed over to that guide. Two of the trains there had open sides and one had closed sides with windows, which of course was the one we told to head to! It was roasting inside and the windows didn't let in that much of a breeze to cool us down. So if you can speak more than one language pick the one beside an open sided road train!
The road trains take you around the island, visiting the safari park, going past various important buildings, roman ruins and an ancient Olive tree, before returning to the pier area. A lot of the tour talks about the previous owners of the island, originally it was owned by Venice and used as a quarry for stone for the city of Venice.
After World War II the islands became under ownership of the Yugoslavian president Tito, who used it as his personal summer residence. He had many famous celebrities and heads of state visit when he owned the islands. Three years after Tito died (in 1980) the islands were declared a National Park of Yugoslavia. When Croatia gained independence in 1994 the islands became part of an International Conference Centre with 4 hotels being reopened and the safari park was opened with animals that had been given to Tito.
The tour was interesting and we certainly didn't know much about the history until we were told about the use of the island by our guide. I felt a bit sorry for the elephant, Lanka, at the safari park as her mate had died a few years ago and she was now alone in her enclosure.
There was also a rather active sea turtle in a large enclosure that was recovering from an injury and due to be released back into the ocean soon.
We went past the ruins of Roman villas and back toward the pier where the cafe was situated. The guide informed everyone that they had a snack break and then from there it was a walking tour to see the museum about Tito. We weren't particularly interested in this and didn't think it would hold the children's interest. But I had heard there were some dinosaur prints on the island and chose to visit them instead.
You can hire bikes or golf buggy's from behind one of the hotels at the pier. It's 250 Kuna per hour for a golf buggy, which we thought would be more fun (for the kids of course… ha ha!) than the bikes. With only limited time we were soon racing along the islands narrow roads at a top speed of 25mph. Not exactly fast, but that was my foot flat to the floor!
The dinosaur footprints are located on the right hand side of the safari park, push a button at the side of the road to open the gate and drive in to the safari park. Turn right at the sign for dinosaur prints and park up outside the small gate.
It's a 30 second walk through a woodland to the rocky shore where you'll find a large dinosaur protecting a nest of eggs. We wandered down to the shore and soon found lots of dinosaur prints in the rock. Some are full prints and others are just impressions of the toes or rounded off holes where they have been eroded. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip, although I can completely understand they don't want to take train loads of people to see them and damage the footprints.
The dinosaur prints are in one small area and it took about half and hour to get there and look at them, so we hopped back onto the golf buggy and 'whizzed' over to the other end of the island to have a quick look at the roman ruins and the Olive tree.
We didn't have enough time to get to the ruins, perhaps we should have gone for two hours with the golf buggy or hired bikes? But it was a lovely bay to stop at anyway.
After dropping the golf buggy off and paying for our time we had an ice cream from the cafe and waited for the next boat, whilst watching the fish.
Brijuni islands were a definite highlight of my trip. The children enjoyed it and although the road train was fun, I think we all preferred exploring by ourselves. I think if we went again we would hire bikes to cycle around the island as it would be cheaper and so we could spend more time exploring. Although I can't deny playing with the golf buggy was fun!
Plutonium Sox says
Wow, sat here reading this with my husband because I saw the dinosaur footprints and we both thought we'd love to go. We'd actually go all the way to Croatia just to see those! Terribly sad about the elephant, I hate to see animals sad in zoos / safari parks.
Jenny Eaves says
They were my favourite bit too! I loved how cool they were, but not another soul in sight!
Newcastle Family Life says
This looks and sounds amazing, reading this has made me really want to visit someday xx
We loved it there, such an idyllic spot, especially when you get away from the tour groups.
