USMCA: Closer to Reality
By Luis G. Reséndiz
On December 10, 2019, the White House and Congress announced that they have reached an agreement that opens a path for ratification of the new free trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada (USMCA).
USMCA was signed on November 30, 2019, by the presidents of all three countries. However, Congress demanded changes to several sections of the agreement before it could be submitted for ratification. After months of negotiations, the White House and Congress finally agreed on a set of changes that also seem acceptable to Mexico and Canada.
Some of the main modifications relate to labor conditions in Mexico. While the original language already had provisions aimed at forcing Mexico to raise wages for autoworkers and some labor protections, the revisions add mechanisms to police compliance with certain labor rights (including more transparency in collective bargaining) and standards. The revised language provides specific benchmarks that Mexico must meet regarding the implementation of labor reforms. Failure by Mexico to comply with these obligations may result in enforcement measures, including imposing potential penalties (or tariffs) on goods or services.
There is wide expectation that this revised version of USMCA will be ratified by all three countries next year. If ratified, USMCA will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that has been in place since 1994.

Q: What sums should everyone know? Well, everyone is an overstatement. Qualifying it: I'm interested in algorithms (complexity) and probabilistic processes/models and I often see sums converge to a certain value in the books I'm reading (algorithm iterations and finite and infinite series of probabilities etc.). I'm looking for a reference (website for example) that contains common sums and their convergence values (infinite or finite) that are often times encountered in these subjects.

A: Perhaps we can interest you in the book Concrete Mathematics. For an enthusiastic student who has not necessarily mastered similar material before, it teaches quite a variety of summation techniques with algorithm analysis in mind.

A: Geometric Series and its derivatives are very common in complexity problems as well as probabilistic models.
$$a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-1}=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}$$
For $|r|<1,$ infinite geometric series converges
$$a+ar+ar^2+\cdots =\frac{a}{1-r}$$
Binomial expansion is also common
$$(a+b)^n={n\choose 0}a^{n}b^{0}+{n\choose 1}a^{n-1}b^{1}+\cdots+{n\choose k}a^{n-k}b^{k}+\cdots +{n\choose n}a^{0}b^{n} $$

So, I have an admin account that I created the xenforo board with. I want to keep this one strictly admin, and not use it for posting in the board. However, I want to create another user that I use as a regular posting user, but I want it to have admin permissions as well. However, I do NOT want it to display this user as an administrator.
I applied the administrative as a "secondary group" but it still displays me as an admin. Is there a way to keep it the same as a typical user but with admin permissions?
I do this in part of having a backup admin account in the event one gets hacked, etc.
You can change it from saying Admin in custom user titles.
Do not add the member to the Administrative user group (you can assign permissions directly to the member instead) and uncheck 'Display user as staff'.
Custom titles overwrite the global titles that in trying to keep. I wanted the titles to change as they would for any other member promotion, etc.
Thanks again! I'm still new to the system and must have overlooked the individual member permissions.

Today in horizontal gene transfer: Ferns adapted to low light via HGT
horizontal gene transfer Intelligent Design News
Posted on April 15, 2014 Author NewsComments(3)
Hornworts/Fay-Wei Li
From ScienceDaily:
During the age of the dinosaurs, the arrival of flowering plants as competitors could have spelled doom for primitive ferns. Instead, ferns diversified and flourished under the new canopy — using a mysterious gene that helped them adapt to low-light environments. Scientists have now pinpointed the curious origins of this gene and determined that it was transferred to ferns from a group of unassuming, mossy plants called hornworts.
If ferns were so "primitive," how did they manage to do this?
And hornworts? "A hornwort is a flowerless, spore-producing plant – with the spores typically produced in a tapering, horn-like or needle-like capsule which develops from a flattish, green sheet." It is believed to have parted ways with the ferns about 400 million years ago.
Further:
Only one mechanism could explain how the gene hopped from hornworts to ferns so long after the lineages themselves diverged: horizontal gene transfer. But researchers have only just begun to explore how this occurs in plants.
They have only begun because the decline in Darwinism has only recently made it okay to openly look for non-Darwinian mechanisms.
"We're actually seeing more and more incidence of horizontal gene transfer in plants, but there's no definite answer as to what mediates it," Li said.
In the microbial world, bacteria, fungi and viruses have been shown to mediate horizontal gene transfer wherever bits of genetic material get mixed up in different organisms. It's a messy affair, but it can have powerful evolutionary consequences — gene transfer is how many bacteria learn antibiotic resistance, for example.
Let the record show that he said that HGT, not Darwinian natural selection, "is how many bacteria learn antibiotic resistance." And keep that in mind when a science mediabot tells you that if you doubt Darwin, you are impeding antibiotic research.
However neochrome was transferred, it seems to have occurred at just the right moment in ferns' evolutionary history.
Stare at a point in the far distance, okay?

Why horizontal gene transfer is bad news for Darwinism
Here's the abstract:
Significance: Despite being one of the oldest groups of land plants, the majority of living ferns resulted from a relatively recent diversification following the rise of angiosperms. To exploit fully the new habitats created by angiosperm-dominated ecosystems, ferns had to evolve novel adaptive strategies to cope with the low-light conditions exerted by the angiosperm canopy. Neochrome, an unconventional photoreceptor that allows ferns to "see the light" better, was likely part of the solution. Surprisingly, we discovered that fern neochrome was derived from a bryophyte lineage via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). This finding not only provides the first evidence that a plant-to-plant HGT can have a profound evolutionary impact but also has implications for the evolution of photosensory systems in plants.
Ferns are well known for their shade-dwelling habits. Their ability to thrive under low-light conditions has been linked to the evolution of a novel chimeric photoreceptor—neochrome—that fuses red-sensing phytochrome and blue-sensing phototropin modules into a single gene, thereby optimizing phototropic responses. Despite being implicated in facilitating the diversification of modern ferns, the origin of neochrome has remained a mystery. We present evidence for neochrome in hornworts (a bryophyte lineage) and demonstrate that ferns acquired neochrome from hornworts via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Fern neochromes are nested within hornwort neochromes in our large-scale phylogenetic reconstructions of phototropin and phytochrome gene families. Divergence date estimates further support the HGT hypothesis, with fern and hornwort neochromes diverging 179 Mya, long after the split between the two plant lineages (at least 400 Mya). By analyzing the draft genome of the hornwort Anthoceros punctatus, we also discovered a previously unidentified phototropin gene that likely represents the ancestral lineage of the neochrome phototropin module. Thus, a neochrome originating in hornworts was transferred horizontally to ferns, where it may have played a significant role in the diversification of modern ferns.– Fay-Wei Li, Juan Carlos Villarreal, Steven Kelly, et al.

Good question. No idea, but eventually science will tell us how 😉
Jehu says:
The metaphysical commitment to materialistic naturalism is remarkable. A more honest statement would be:
We are seeing more and more genes in a pattern of distribution amongst species that cannot be explained by common descent and we have no idea how that is possible.
Paul Giem says:
It is worthwhile keeping in mind that one accusation against an omniscient Creator is that He would be expected to reuse DNA and not reinvent a slightly different mechanism for each new creation, somewhat like we often use identical light switches in buildings of all different sizes, and even sometimes to turn on appliances such as garbage disposals instead of lights.
Leaving aside the cheek of telling an omniscient Deity how He should create, it is worthwhile asking what evolutionists would do if they found this Creator actually reusing DNA. The most obvious thing they would do is to call it horizontal gene transfer. AFAICT, there is no testable distinction between horizontal gene transfer and what we might call facilitated horizontal gene transfer. So the data outlined in the OP could be used, fairly, in an argument that, yes indeed, the Creator did reuse His designs, and the argument in the first paragraph above is a poor one.
According to the original article in ScienceDaily,
Ferns have a unique life cycle that might lend itself to horizontal gene transfer, he added. Gametophytes, the fern form that produces sex cells, are promiscuous little plants.
"They have no protective layer on top, no cuticle," said Kathleen Pryer, an authority on ferns and professor of biology at Duke. "A gametophyte is also a really compact structure, and the sex organs are right there, with lots of contact with other plants that are all competing for light and space.
"Easy access to a fern's sperm and eggs could mean foreign genetic material — like the gene neochrome — might easily be passed on to the subsequent generation. However neochrome was transferred, it seems to have occurred at just the right moment in ferns' evolutionary history.
That's an interesting and potentially testable theory. Sprinkle some foreign DNA on the gametophytes and see whether it is incorporated into the ferns. If not, perhaps facilitated horizontal gene transfer should be considered as a mechanism in this case. 🙂

How do you like them apples?
Originally published in the Portland Phoenix on September 12, 2014
Twenty Ounce Pippin, huge pale-green monsters, as big as a baby's head. Winter Banana, a beguiling yellow with a red blush. Black Oxford, diminutive purple-black orbs, dotted with light "stars." American Golden Russets, a raised, sandpaper-y texture on its light brown surface.
These aren't far-off planets as envisioned by a science-fiction writer; rather, these unusual names and appearances describe heirloom apple varieties. As students trundle off to school, the nighttime temperatures begin to dip, and the daylight lessens, apple trees all across Maine are ripening. While we have come to think of apples as only "red" or "green" (and usually disappointingly mealy), local orchards are now offering apples with a plethora of tastes, textures, and uses.
For those looking to learn more about the pedigree of the unusual and vast variety of forgotten apples, turn to Rowan Jacobsen's new book, Apples of Uncommon Character: 123 Heirlooms, Modern Classics, and Little-Known Wonders. Jacobsen currently resides in Vermont, but is no stranger to Maine, exploring the terroir of bivalves in A Geography of Oysters and recently volunteering with NOAA researching the health of shellfish and puffins in the Gulf of Maine. In his latest work, Jacobsen presents an encyclopedia of apples, detailing rare and heirloom varieties, accompanied by beautiful color photographs. Become an apple aficionado through Jacobsen's vignettes detailing rare and common apples' history, as well as which apples are best for fresh eating, baking, saucing, and cider. The book's final chapter provides apple recipes, from lobster Waldorf salad to classic tarte tatin.
Jacobsen's short introduction delves into the apple's journey from Europe to the fledgling United States (including mention of John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, and his entrepreneurial work adding value to plots of land by installing apple orchards) and then into the declining number of apple varieties available in today's supermarket. Jacobsen also details the work of pomologists like Maine's John Bunker, who hunts down rare apple varieties and preserves them in his Palermo orchard. Bunker and his wife Cammy Watts offer a 5-week apple CSA, providing share members with 55-60 pounds of apples, delivered every other week from mid-September until early December. The "Out on a Limb" CSA showcases about 30 different unusual apple varieties, from early-season tart specimens to end-of-season apples that sweeten in storage. Bunker will return to MOFGA's Common Ground Fair again this year with his popular apple display.
In southern Maine, apples have been quietly populating stands at the farmers' market for about a month now. The first arrivals are what farmers call "Early Macs," or McIntosh apples. This New England favorite is best early in the season, before the flesh takes on an unappealing mushiness. At Uncle's Farm's stand, farmer Mike Farwell is selling these Early Macs, plus Cortlands, Ginger Golds, and Paula Reds for $1.50/lb. Nearby Snell's Farm is selling Sunrise Macs and Ginger Golds. All of these varieties are good for both fresh eating and baking, but do not store well like some other late-season varieties.
Sweet cider from Meadow Brook Farm & Orchard in Raymond is also now available at the farmers' market, and their pick-your-own orchard is open weekends from 9 am to 6 pm. At the Urban Farm Fermentory, brewer Reid Emmerich ferments juice from McIntosh and Cortland apples using the yeast naturally present on the fruit. The resulting "cidah" is much drier than most varieties, as other commercial cideries add additional yeast and sugar to create a sweeter drink. Whether you're drinking or eating your apples this fall, look beyond the supermarket to see, as Jacobsen says, "the many things an apple can be, the many roles it can play in our lives."

Lloyd Barnes worked for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label as an engineer before emigrating to The Bronx, New York, in the early 1970s. Here he founded the Wackie's House Of Music record store, and behind this shop-front was the first significant reggae studio and label in the United States. The Bullwackie's and Wackies labels followed, along with other imprints such as Senrab, Hamma, and Senta.

Barnes also recorded the group Aksumites, including recordings by Andrew McCalla and Joe Aksumite, two of the group members who have recorded with him since the inception of Wackie's House of Music, and during the late 1970s and early 1980s he produced artists such as Horace Andy, Sugar Minott, Junior Byles, Roland Alphonso, Tyrone Evans, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Later productions included work by Jackie Mittoo. Barnes also operated a sound system, which he used as an outlet for the Wackies recordings.

Barnes presently resides in the Wakefield neighborhood in the New York City borough of the Bronx, where he owns and operates a music studio.

NASA to launch car-sized spacecraft Parker Solar Probe to study Sun
NASA outlined plans to "touch the sun" ahead of space launch on Saturday (August 11) from Kennedy Space Center in Florida that will send a probe on a seven-year mission closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft has ventured.
But the Parker Solar Probe will hopefully have no such issue, thanks to a state-of-the-art heat shield that not only can fearless the blistering heat of the sun, but will also make sure the spacecraft stays cool, the Inquisitr previously reported.
"The Thermal Protection System (the heat shield) is one of the spacecraft's mission-enabling technologies", said Andy Driesman, Parker Solar Probe project manager at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab.
The Parker Solar Probe will be studying the sun through 2025. In this same vein, NASA is preparing to launch a spacecraft none other than the Parker probe straight towards the Sun. "It allows the spacecraft to operate at about room temperature". The device, which will be made of the observations, called Solar Probe Parker. Although our own magnetic field generally does a good job deflecting the solar wind, occasionally a few "gusts" will make it into the atmosphere, creating stunning auroras. As we go from the surface of the sun, which is 10,000 degrees, and move up into the corona, we find ourselves quickly at millions of degrees. And what powers the solar wind, the stream of charged particles that flows outward from the corona at speeds on the order of a million miles per hour?
Sixty years ago, a young astrophysicist at the University of Chicago, Eugene Parker, proposed the existence of solar wind. But the probe also has solar panels that, when exposed to radiation, will power the satellite when its orbit takes it to less hot areas a little further from the Sun.
The probe will have to do seven orbits over seven years around the sun, with gravity assistance from Venus, to reduce that sideways speed.
While it is hoped that the probe will retrieve some scientific data, the main objective is to simply record some images of the sun from a much closer distance than we are now capable of. Helios 2 got within 27 million miles of the sun in 1976.

This historic mission sets out to unravel some of the biggest puzzles regarding our sun, its scorching outer atmosphere known as the solar corona, and the solar wind - the mysterious outflow of charged particles it oozes into the solar system.
The Delta IV Heavy is the nation´s proven heavy lifter, delivering high-priority missions for the US Air Force, National Reconnaissance Office and NASA. Such particles can interfere with satellite electronics, especially for satellites outside of Earth's magnetic field.
An artist's rendition of the PSP venturing close to the Sun's surface. At 3.8 million miles distance, NASA said it will be seven times closer than any spacecraft before it.
The Parker Solar Probe will carry a chip with photos of Parker, his revolutionary paper and his message to the sun: "Let's see what lies ahead". His work revolutionized our understanding of the sun and interplanetary space.
The corona is also where the solar material is heated to millions of degrees and where the most extreme events on the Sun occur, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections - accelerating particles to a fraction of the speed of light.
The Parker Solar Probe is quite small, about the size of a small vehicle, and it weighs about 1,500 pounds. One would like to have some more detailed measurements of what's going on in the solar wind.

What is the Food & Energy Campus?
Der Standort der Biogasanlage in Wallerstädten bietet sich für den Aufbau des ersten Food & Energy Campus an.
Wo könnte sich was befinden?
Wallerstädten is a district of the town Groß-Gerau and is located in the southern Rhein-Main area. Many important cities like Frankfurt, Mainz, Wiesbaden and Darmstadt as well as the Frankfurt airport are just around the corner.
As location for our first "Food & Energy Campus", Wallerstädten is perfect as the biogas plant is situated amidst vast agricultural land. In the neighboring municipality of Trebur, the pikeperch hetchery of Fischmaster is located that assures a local supply with young fish.
But why is this a good location?
In addition to the availability of commercial and agricultural land, a major advantage of this location is the availability of excess waste heat from the combined heat and power plant of the biogas power station at Stadtwerke Groß-Gerau.
The waste heat from the electricity production has so far been used to a small extent to heat the fermentation tanks for biogas production itself. In the summer months, a large portion of the waste heat is used for herbal drying by Ingenia Dienstleistung Beratungsmanagement GmbH. In the winter months, the waste heat remains almost unused.
In future, a year-round use of heat can be assured in the planned Sun Light Greenhouses developed by ebf GmbH. In this aquaponic system both plants and fish need heat in winter. Another new application of the waste heat is the drying of fermentation residues for the production of biochar.
The proximity to Fischmaster IP-Services GmbH gives a further advantage: The company operates a modern pike-perch reproduction in the neighboring Trebur. Thus, the Aquaponics of the Food & Energy Campus can be filled with the young pike-perch from Trebur. The fish are fed here until they reach their target weight of about one kilogram. For processing, the fish can be brought back to Fischmaster, where they are professionally prepared for sale in an EU-certified fresh-fish processing. With this cooperation we can guarantee, that the entire pike-perch production from the egg to the ready-to-eat fish will take place in the same region.
In Wallerstädten, the visions of the three owners of the Food & Energy Campus, with their know-how and their technologies, merge into an innovative location for food production.
