Stage 14 :: Saturday May 23, 2009
172km :: Campi Bisenzio - Bologna
It would baloney for me to make a Bologna joke, so I'll just leave it at that. We run over 4 hills today with a "summit" finish at the top of the Via di San Luca in Bologna, the same finishing straight used at the end of the season for the Giro dell'Emilia (Fahlin).
The Passo della Collina, Valico di Mediano, Valico di Tolè, the Mongardino and the San Luca all await the presence of the peloton to grind their way up and over
Admittedly, these aren't Alpine, Dolomiti or Pyrannean stages by any measure, perhaps another stage in the Ardennes style, but it should be enough to stretch the legs and who doesn't love an uphill finish (Cav) :)
Vai, Gavia, vai!
With this stage, the Giro enters the Appenino, the mountains that run north-south along the center of the boot. The Giro bids adio to Toscana, rides through the across the grain of the mountains, and finishes in the ancient city of Bologna in Emilia-Romagna. Campi Bisenzio, which lies between Firenze and Prato hosts the stage start.
The finish climbs to the Santuario della Madonna di San Luca, which lies to the Southwest of the old city center of Bologna and sits high on the Colle della Guardia. Built in the Baroque style, the sanctuary with its richly ornamented dome shelters a sacred icon depicting the Virgin Mary. The Giro dell'Emilia uses the climb to San Luca as its finish, and the Giro has visited the Sanctuary twice previously. In 1956, Charly Gaul won a climbing time trail on this road, and in 1984, Moreno Argentin celebrated victory in a road stage finishing at the hilltop sanctuary.

Thanks Surfin' Bird, there's pizza dell'ananas waiting for ya.
Campi Bisenzio, take it away! Oddly, the course doesn't start up hill. It actually begins somewhat flat, and stays that way for, oh, 25km or so, to Capostrada.
Capostrada is the gateway to the first climb of the day, the Passo della Collina at 777m. This baby is 12.6km long, rising 678m from the plain over a medio 5.4% gradient and a maximo 8%
It's a valley run northwards to Ponte della Venturina, before making a sharp western curve in Silla. Charybdis called and said she wouldn't be available for the stage (hahaha... Odyssean humor; it never gets old!)
Silla leads upwards to the Valico di Mediano at 898m. It is 14.7km long rising 569m over a 3.9% average and a 12% max. Are the legs feeling it yet?
It's a technical descent from the Valico di Mediano, although it doesn't look too terribly steep, just winding as hell, and that leads straight to Vergato, the feed zone for the day, situated right at the base of the NEXT climb, the Valico di Tolè
The Valico di Tolè will get you 747m high over it's 14.6km of length. The riders will reclaim 542m of elevation (although they are still 30m shy of the elevation they were at originally on the Collina summit) with only a 3.7% average with an 8% max. The road descends from the Tolè climb to Calderino, where... uh, you guessed it... it CLIMBS again!
The Mongardino is a modest 352m in height, likes Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain. Mr. Mongardino is a whopping 2.1km long with a massive 132m elevation gain with... uh.. what the hell... an average 6.4% gradient and a 12% max! You're a nasty little climb there, Mr. Mongardino!
Once through the traguardo volante in Pontecchio Marconi, we begin curling our way arond Bolgona for the summit finish at the Santuario.

Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA): What Is It, and How Has It Been Utilized?
Description: The deadly attacks on Afghan civilians allegedly by a U.S. service member have raised questions regarding the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) in place between the United States and Afghanistan that would govern whether Afghan law would apply in this circumstance. In the case of Afghanistan, the SOFA, in force since 2003, provides that U.S. Department of Defense military and civilian personnel are to be accorded status equivalent to that of U.S. Embassy administrative and technical staff under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic relations of 1961. Accordingly, U.S. personnel are immune from criminal prosecution by Afghan authorities and are immune from civil and administrative jurisdiction except with respect to acts performed outside the course of their duties. Under the existing SOFA, the United States would have jurisdiction over the prosecution of the service member who allegedly attacked the Afghan civilians.

U.S. Nuclear Cooperation with India: Issues for Congress
Description: India, which has not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and does not have International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards on all of its nuclear material, exploded a "peaceful" nuclear device in 1974, convincing the world of the need for greater restrictions on nuclear trade. The United States created the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) as a direct response to India's test, halted nuclear exports to India a few years later, and worked to convince other states to do the same. India tested nuclear weapons again in 1998. However, President Bush announced July 18, 2005, he would "work to achieve full civil nuclear energy cooperation with India" and would "also seek agreement from Congress to adjust U.S. laws and policies," in the context of a broader partnership with India. The Obama Administration has continued with the Bush Administration's policy regarding civil nuclear cooperation with India. According to a November 8, 2010, White House fact sheet, the United States "intends to support India's full membership" in the NSG, as well as other multilateral export control regimes.

I'm the kind of women who likes to have more than one pair of sunglasses and for an everyday pair, these Morgenthal Frederics are my preferred choice.
They are from the 'Air Corps Collection' which are their classic aviator style made from titanium and handcrafted in Japan. Mine used to say titanium and made in Japan on the side of the arm band but over the years it has worn off.
I bought these back in Las Vegas June 2011 when I was looking for an aviator style of glasses. I had tried on the Ray-Ban Aviators but they just weren't doing it for me so the sales guy suggested I try these Morgenthal Frederics. This is a brand name I had never heard of before as they are only in the USA and this eyewear store hadn't had them in stock for very long.
So I walked away and gave myself some time to think about but I knew I did really like them. In the end, I went back and bought them and I have been extremely happy with my purchase ever since.
These are the most comfortable sunglass I have ever owned, by far, and they fit me really well. I'm even contemplating buying another pair to have as a backup! Another reason I love them is they are not flashing a label all over them. Unless you know the brand, you wouldn't know they are designer aside from the fact they look chic.
You will see me wearing these in photos throughout all my different blogs.

Reckless Diplomacy: The Potential Consequences Of Tsai Ing-Wen's Phone Conversation With Donald Trump
Shixi Guo
On 2 December 2016, the President-elect of the US, Donald Trump, picked up a phone call from Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen. According to Trump's Twitter, the main conversation revolved around Ms. Tsai's congratulating Trump on his victory in the 2016 US presidential election.
However, the phone conversation between Mr. Trump and Ms. Tsai has appeared on almost every major media's headlines over the weekend.
The phone call has clearly become a major international event because the call has broken the US diplomatic protocol towards China. The US ended its official diplomatic relations with Taiwan in 1979 and started to acknowledge the 1979 ''One China'' policy. According to the ''One China'' policy, the US acknowledges the People's Republic of China as the sole legal entity that represents the Chinese people. In light of the policy and in order to maintain a healthy Sino-American relation, the President-elect of the US has not directly spoken with the Taiwanese leaders for four decades. Trump's reckless, or intentional, diplomatic conduct of this event has clearly broken the US diplomatic protocol and may cause further damages to Sino-American relations and the regional strategic environment.
China has lodged complaints towards the US because of the phone call. A spokesman for China's foreign minister, Geng Shuang, stated in a statement ''It must be pointed out that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory. The government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing China.'' According to the Guardian, China further urged ''the relevant US side'' to ''cautiously and properly'' deal with Taiwan issues to avoid ''unnecessary interference'' in the Sino-US relationship.
China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, downplayed the issue to a ''small trick'' played by Taiwan. He claimed that the US would not ignore and damage the Sino-US relationship. However, other Chinese media channels, such as the Global Times and Xinhua, took a tougher line on the issue. The Global Times and Xinhua urged and warned Trump not to damage the Sino-US relationship in his coming term.
On the US side, media and government officials also expressed their concerns. According to the Guardian, Evan Medeiros, the Asia director at the White House national security council, stated that the phone call is ''a highly provocative action, of historic proportions.'' He also added that the phone call might fundamentally change China's perception towards the upcoming Trump administration from positive to negative. Evan Medeiros said Trump's move is ''setting a foundation of enduring mistrust and strategic competition for US-China relations.''
Although China, Taiwan and the US have all expressed that no major changes will occur in terms of the US diplomatic conduct towards the Taiwan issue, concerns raised upon whether Trump will conduct international relations accordingly. During his presidential campaign, Trump has severely blamed China and showed that he would take a hard-line approach towards China. If Trump is to change the US approach to the Taiwan issue, he could cause major damage to Sino-US relations.
Why is the Sino-US relationship important in the current world? Strategically speaking, China and the US are the two most capable global powers that can determine the outcomes of regional or even global strategic arrangement. Professor Hugh White at the Australian National University Strategic and Defense Studies Centre argued that only China and the US have the power to determine the strategic arrangement of the region. If Sino-US strategic competition intensifies, it is anticipated that the region will be less stable and secure over the coming decades.
Dangerously, Taiwan Strait is one of the most dangerous regional flash points in the region. China and the US have had incidents before over the Taiwan Strait, such as the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis. The reckless move by Mr. Trump, and Ms. Tsai, could possibly ruin the efforts paid by the previous leader of Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou, to mitigate the tensions between the mainland and Taiwan. If a crisis broke out over the Taiwan Strait during Trump's term, the potential consequences would be more severe than the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis as China's military has undergone a substantial process of modernization. Therefore, Trump's administration should pay close attention to how it handles the Taiwan issue in order to avoid a further escalation of tensions.

Not only does it look good with many styles, but its extremely durable (it is the ideal materials for a household with children or pets) and it is extremely-easy to thoroughly clean, as well. The downside of leather furniture? It may have a higher cost than fabric, micro-fiber or fake leather Le Corbusier Chaise Lounge. This lying loveseat remains a financial budget-pleasant choice because of one guru technique: its sitting area is upholstered with leather-based, as the sides are upholstered with more inexpensive faux leather-based. Which means you get the appear and feel of a complete leather-based loveseat without the significant price tag. Make use of the handle on the loveseats arm to kick back and take it easy on its higher-density froth filling, and think about the money held on. This particular loveseat posseses an added bonus: professional set up is available in many areas of the country for the next charge.
If the Chesterfield is the graceful gentleman among sofas, the Cabriole may be the grande dame. Noted for its exposed wooden and elegant legs, similar to the Louis XV period, the cabriole also has a distinctive silhouette. It was also a well-liked form in the work of furniture maker Jones Chippendale. Usually, the back is all 1 constant item with out cushions and it has an elegant bending collection. This particular cabriole edition consists of gems in the tufts for added glamour. It's a sofa design that may be as simple or opulent as you desire. Upholstered having a luxury material like purple velvet yields a significantly various design feeling than whether it were upholstered inside a much more muted, textural natural. The primary aura of elegance derives from its overall form and lithe thighs which means it will always lend a refined atmosphere to a room.

Q: Custom trigger for a Jenkins scripted pipeline I need to monitor a remote SFTP folder in order to trigger my Jenkins scripted pipeline.
I have searched on Google and Jenkins documentation but i cannot found where to insert the custom code that will be used by Jenkins to decide to trigger or not my job.
Do you know if it's possible or should i wrote a custom plugin ?

A: I'm guessing that push triggering of builds isn't possible and you need to fall back to polling.
In this situation I would create a second pipeline job which monitors the remote SFTP folder. If a change is detected it will then trigger the actual job using the build step. Something in the lines of:
node {
  def changes = false;
  // Do your monitoring of the SFTP server here and set changes to true if changes are detected. If you need a state between different runs of this job, then you can use the archive and copyArtifact step to save and retrieve state from last run.
  if (changes) {
    build job: 'A', propagate: false, wait: false
  }

You then set this job to be triggered periodically:

On Monday night, Austin Harrouff, a 19-year-old FSU student allegedly stabbed a couple to death while possibly under the influence of a bath salts-like drug called Flakka.
He was found by police viciously biting his male victim's face, and it took tasers, four police officers and a police dog to get him off the victim. Austin himself is now in critical condition after the altercation.
A reporter from the local Palm Beach Post reached out to Austin's fraternity brothers at FSU for comment regarding the tragic events.
Instead, Harrouff's frat brothers decided it was an appropriate time to send her a slew of Harambe jokes.
The reporter, Christine M Stapleton, took to Facebook to vent her frustrations with the fraternity brothers who, obviously, weren't taking the murder very seriously.
Harambe jokes and memes have been floating around the internet for months. The latest one is 'Dicks out for Harambe' -- you can Google it. I pointed out to these frat brothers and friends that two people were brutally murdered and their friend was looking at life in prison or a psychiatric hospital if he lived. This didn't phase them.
She included screenshots of their texts to her. The post was deleted, but you can still make out the exchanges.
Time for bed. Sweet dreams. Don't forget to say your prayers.
Believe me, I love Harambe jokes more than I love the full functionality of my limbs.
But, there is a time and a place for Harambe jokes, and when your friend allegedly just murdered two people while cannibalizing one of their faces, possibly under the influence of a terrifying and mind-altering drug, before being severely injured by the police and dogs that attempted in vain to stop him, it is not the time for Harambe jokes.


My name is Kelley, my boyfriend (Adrian) and I were lucky enough to go on a two-month road trip around the United States and Canada. Throughout this trip we discovered our love of travel and we would like to share with everyone what we have seen throughout these beautiful states and provinces. I have listed the majority of the cities that we visited, so when you find yourselves lost in a beautiful city you will have some guidance as to the best places to see. I recommend everyone to venture out and go far beyond their comfort zone. We were outside of our comfort zone for sixty two days, there were many nights of camping, we cooked in parking lots from our trunk, we lived out of our car and it was the most magical experience. As soon as we hit our first stop in Marianna, Fl I felt a rush of absolute freedom. It was just us two together living out our dream.
I set this site up to inspire people to venture outside of their comfort zone and also to help those who might be having trouble planning their trip. I am available to help you with your itineraries, to tell you which places let us down and which hidden gems should be moved to the tops of your lists. I want to let everyone know that it is possible to go on your dream trip; whether it is for three days or three months it is possible. I will continually post new places to visit with itineraries. Below I have pinned all the destinations we have been lucky enough to visit in the past two years.

SCV Water files lawsuit over water contamination
SCV Water hosted a virtual ribbon cutting ceremony at a new water treatment facility near Auto Center Drive in Valencia Monday. October 05, 2020. Bobby Block / The Signal.
The Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency filed a lawsuit Tuesday against multiple companies over water contamination, alleging toxic chemicals from products manufactured by those named in the case were discharged into the environment.
Raytheon Technologies, Chemours, DuPont and 3M Co. are among dozens named in the lawsuit "for their roles in introducing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) into the water supply in Santa Clarita," according to SCV Water in a news release Thursday.
PFAS are a family of human-made chemicals that are found in a wide range of products used by consumers and industry, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The human-made chemicals are found in a wide range of products used by consumers and industries, such as carpets, nonstick cookware and paper food packaging.
The lawsuit alleges that the companies have known "for decades" the dangers of PFAS and failed to provide a warning on the effects they have on human health and the environment.
"(The companies) sold their products anyway," Scott Summy, a shareholder from Baron & Budd P.C., the law firm representing SCV Water, said in a statement. "As a result, many water providers have to now deal with the resulting problems. These cases are intended to shift some of the responsibility for paying for the costs of dealing with these contaminants away from the ratepayers and onto the responsible parties."
Officials with DuPont and 3M said in emails to The Signal Thursday they are "vigorously defending" their positions that they acted responsibly.
"We are disappointed by the claims made by the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency and believe they are without merit," read the statement from DuPont. "DuPont de Nemours has never made or sold AFFF firefighting foams, PFOA, PFOS or other perfluorinated compounds in California, or elsewhere. These complaints are the latest example of DuPont being improperly named in litigation, and we look forward to vigorously defending our position."
In August 2019, SCV Water officials found trace amounts of PFAS in 17 of the agency's wells, requiring them to notify key agencies about the discovery. In response, the agency shut down 19 wells due to contamination.
"SCV Water and other water agencies did not put these chemicals into our water, but over time very small amounts may enter our groundwater supplies through manufacturing and product use and wastewater discharge, which are all potential sources for PFAS," officials said in an agency video earlier this month.
The agency is seeking compensation for the costs and damages related to PFAS contamination, including "the investigation, remediation, treatment, removal, disposal, and/or monitoring of the ongoing contamination … as well as any and all other damages available as a result of the actions and/or inactions of" the companies, according to the lawsuit.
The agency's lawsuit is part of several other public water providers' lawsuits that were consolidated in one federal district court in South Carolina but remain distinct actions, according to SCV Water spokeswoman Kathie Martin.
"SCV Water is seeking recovery of the ongoing damages and losses these companies have caused to our water supply," General Manager Matt Stone said in a statement. "We have taken immediate steps including testing all wells on a quarterly basis and removing a number of impacted wells from service. Our first PFAS treatment facility opened this month, with several more under planning or design. Protecting our community's water supply will come at a significant cost, and now it's time to hold the appropriate parties responsible."
The lawsuit comes as officials opened their new water treatment plant next to the William S. Hart Pony Baseball & Softball park earlier this month, marking it as the first facility in California to combat PFAS from groundwater. The new plant provides sufficient water for 5,000 households.
The agency is expected to have two additional plants in full operation by 2022, according to officials.

British mum nearly dies in horror Crete quad bike crash that fractures her spine
Posted By: mibappscom
Mandy Symonds, 56, has spoken about her 'nightmare' experience which left her suffering injuries including spinal fractures, fractured ribs as well as a broken collar bone and wrist and a collapsed lung
A mum suffered serious injuries in a horrific quad bike crash while she was on holiday in Crete.
Mandy Symonds, from Bradford in west Yorkshire, was riding pillion when she was thrown from the quad bike she had hired with her husband Chris, 57.
Husband Chris feared she had been killed as she wasn't moving, her helmet had come off and she was left 'wrapped around a signpost' at the roadside.
Mandy said Chris, a former firefighter, had been driving at a low speed when the quad hit a high kerb due to a suspected steering fault, Examiner Live reports.
She suffered injuries including spinal fractures, fractured ribs as well as a broken collar bone and wrist and a collapsed lung.
Now the 56-year-old has spoken about her 'nightmare experience' and warned others about the importance of being insured on holiday.
Mandy was fortunate to be covered by insurance when she hired the quad and is now urging other holidaymakers to ensure they are covered if they hire any kind of vehicle abroad.
Recalling the aftermath of the crash, Mandy said: "He thought I was dead. My eyes were staring into space. I went over the top of Chris and was wrapped around a signpost. Chris flew off and the bike landed on him. He found out later that he had a broken wrist."
The mum-of-two has now received a compensation payout for the injuries and financial losses she sustained as a result of the crash in July 2017.
She recently received the compensation thanks to work by law firm Irwin Mitchell.
Mandy suffered her injuries just as her holiday to Crete was coming to an end.
The couple were keen to explore the island and decided to hire a quad bike to visit some nearby beaches.
Mandy recalled: "Chris had a test drive, although neither of us was asked about our level of experience.
"We wore helmets and around 15 minutes into the ride, I was thrown to the roadside and was later told I was wrapped around a post."
Mandy, who has run her own wax melt business, Melting Moments, since she retired from a nursing career, was taken to a local hospital and diagnosed with injuries including fractured ribs, a punctured lung and a broken collarbone.
She spent 10 days in the hospital before being deemed fit to fly home by doctors.
However, her condition deteriorated on the flight.
When she landed at Leeds Bradford Airport she was blue-lighted to Leeds General Infirmary where doctors admitted her to intensive care.
They found blood in the area around her collapsed lung, which was affecting her breathing, and fractures to her vertebrae.
Mandy added: "The injuries have taken a massive physical and psychological toll on me.
"I needed various surgeries including on my collarbone and I have also had issues with my wrist and back.
"Having to deal with the pain and discomfort constantly has meant that I am generally more tired as well and for a long time I was unable to carry out simple day-to-day tasks such as cleaning and shopping.
"The incident also massively disrupted my wax melt business and I had to shut down for several months as I attempted to recover.
"It has just been a nightmare experience, but I feel fortunate that we had the right insurance in place with the quad bike company.
"This settlement will help me move forward with my recovery, so that does offer a crumb of comfort.
"I really would urge anyone thinking of hiring a quad bike to always consider insurance, while they should also use a trustworthy and reputable provider too."
Irwin Mitchell lawyer Allison Slingo, who worked closely with Mandy to secure her settlement, said: "Mandy's case highlights the dangers that can arise when hiring vehicles like quad bikes, as well as the importance of having insurance in place. Thanks to the latter, we were able to ensure that Mandy could get the support she requires.
"Holidaymakers should not underestimate the importance of such issues and we would urge people to take notice of a case like this."
Cheryl Palmer-Hughes, legal expert in Irwin Mitchell's International Serious Injury team who led the team representing Mandy, said: "Holidays are an opportunity to relax and unwind from the stresses of everyday life
"However, it is hugely important that we still take steps to stay protected in any given situation, including scenarios where we might be trying something for the first time."

Inicio/Spanish Language, Words made in Spain/World Book Day 2019: 4 books for 4 expressions
Here we are, as every year, to celebrate el Día Internacional del Libro with our readers and students on Spanishviaskype. This year, the World Book Day has coincided with the end of la Semana Santa. Many people come back home from the beach, mountain or other destinations and what's better than a quiet time of reading? From yesterday, Tuesday the 23rd you can find stands full of books at streets ready to be bought.
The Hispanic literature has been acclaimed as one of the most prestigious throughout history. Many works remain in our collective imagination and some of them have been used to form expressions and idioms. Today, we're going to learn some of them.
1. Ser un quijote
We think all of our readers know who Don Quijote de la Mancha was . Miguel de Cervantes' novel is maybe the most popular work in the Spanish language. Its protagonist is described as a crazy old man who lost his mind because of his obsession for reading chivalric romances. He is also an icon of idealism. This idea is in the idiom ser un quijote.
For example: ¿Quieres hablar español como un nativo en unos meses? Eres un quijote. Es mejor que sigas un programa progresivo como hacen en Spanishviaskype.
2. Ser como el perro del hortelano
A dog is the best guardian if you have un huerto (a vegetable garden). A dog won't eat your vegetables and it won't let other animals eat them neither. Lope de Vega, one of the best dramatists ever, wrote a play entitled el Perro del hortelano, in which a countess and her secretary had a secret affaire.
Nowadays, we use this expression to refer to a person who doesn't do a thing but he or she doesn't let anybody do that neither.
For example: En mi clase de español hay un compañero que es como el perro del hortelano, ni aprende ni nos deja aprender. Estoy pensando en hacer las clases por Skype.
3. Todos a una, Fuenteovejuna
Lope de Vega is also the cause of the popularization of this expression. On his play Fuenteovejuna, he introduced the village of Fuenteovejuna as the protagonist of the action. All the inhabitants joined together in order to fight against the oppression of the authority.
This expression is used today to show the need of joining to achieve a goal.
For example: Si tienes que hacer el examen DELE, los profesores de Spanishviaskype se organizarán para ayudarte: ¡todos a una, Fuenteovejuna!
4. Ser una celestina
Celestina is a proper noun, now in disuse, that shouldn't have a pejorative meaning. However, Fernando de Rojas wrote a work at the end of 15th century, that mixed two genders: drama and novel. La Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, also known as La Celestina, is very interesting, not because of its protagonists, but for its antagonistic: la alcahueta Celestina. She was a kind of witch and gossiper who used to arrange marriages secretly.
Nowadays, ser una celestina, is a synonym of being an intermediary between people for them to have a personal relationship or an affaire.
For example: Gracias a mis clases de conversación en Spanishviaskype he conocido a muchos españoles pero tú fuiste una Celestina con mi novio de Madrid.
As you can see, literature comes from the language and returns to the language itself. On www.spanishviaskype.com we like to use literary texts on our lessons. If you want to learn more about us, try a free trial lesson here. Reading books and learning Spanish via Skype was never so easy.

Membrane estrogen receptor-α-mediated nongenomic actions of phytoestrogens in GH3/B6/F10 pituitary tumor cells
Yow Jiun Jeng, Mikhail Y. Kochukov, Cheryl S. Watson
Background: Estradiol (E2) mediates various intracellular signaling cascades from the plasma membrane via several estrogen receptors (ERs). The pituitary is an estrogen-responsive tissue, and we have previously reported that E2 can activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) such as ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3 in the membrane ERα (mERα)-enriched GH3/B6/F10 rat pituitary tumor cell line. Phytoestrogens are compounds found in plants and foods such as soybeans, alfalfa sprouts, and red grapes. They are structurally similar to E2 and share a similar mechanism of action through their binding to ERs. Phytoestrogens bind to nuclear ERs with a much lower affinity and therefore are less potent in mediating genomic responses. However, little is known about their ability to act via mERs to mediate nongenomic effects. Methods: To investigate the activation of different nongenomic pathways, and determine the involvement of mERα, we measured prolactin (PRL) release by radio-immunoassay, MAPK activations (ERK1/2 and JNK1/2/3) via a quantitative plate immunoassay, and intracellular [Ca2+] by Fura-2 fluorescence imaging in cells treated with E2 or four different phytoestrogens (coumestrol, daidzein, genistein, and trans-resveratrol). Results: Coumesterol and daidzein increased PRL release similar to E2 in GH3/B6/F10 cells, while genistein and trans-resveratrol had no effect. All of these compounds except genistein activated ERK1/2 signaling at 1-10 picomolar concentrations; JNK 1/2/3 was activated by all compounds at a 100 nanomolar concentration. All compounds also caused rapid Ca2+ uptake, though in unique dose-dependent Ca2+ response patterns for several aspects of this response. A subclone of GH3 cells expressing low levels of mERα (GH3/B6/D9) did not respond to any phytoestrogen treatments for any of these responses, suggesting that these nongenomic effects were mediated via mERα. Conclusion: Phytoestrogens were much more potent in mediating these nongenomic responses (activation of MAPKs, PRL release, and increased intracellular [Ca2+]) via mERα than was previously reported for genomic responses. The unique non-monotonic dose responses and variant signaling patterns caused by E2 and all tested phytoestrogens suggest that complex and multiple signaling pathways or binding partners could be involved. By activating these different nongenomic signaling pathways, phytoestrogens could have significant physiological consequences for pituitary cell functions.

Conclusion: Phytoestrogens were much more potent in mediating these nongenomic responses (activation of MAPKs, PRL release, and increased intracellular [Ca2+]) via mERα than was previously reported for genomic responses. The unique non-monotonic dose responses and variant signaling patterns caused by E2 and all tested phytoestrogens suggest that complex and multiple signaling pathways or binding partners could be involved. By activating these different nongenomic signaling pathways, phytoestrogens could have significant physiological consequences for pituitary cell functions.

'Tis the season – to save.
How to make the most of your holiday budget.
The holidays are fast approaching; get ready for all the merriment – and shopping! Will you brave the crowded stores or shop online from your couch? Whatever you decide, with a little planning and budgeting you can save on stress, money and unnecessary debt. Now that's something to celebrate.
Take a look at your budget and see what you can afford. Whether you've been saving all year for holiday shopping, or are just starting, the key is sticking to your budget. This means not using credit cards unless you have budgeted to pay them off in full when the statement arrives. As you budget, you may want to think about next year – and set up a special savings account for holiday shopping. With automatic transfers throughout the year, your money can be waiting for you next season. TD Bank can get you started with one of our Savings accounts.
Make a list – and check it twice.
A list will keep you on track with your budget and help you avoid unnecessary purchases. Make a list of everyone you're buying gifts for and assign a dollar amount. Does your gift list exceed your budget? Go back and revise the dollar amount per person, and consider getting creative (see below).
Check online, in stores and ads to find the best price for items on your list. Hit the after-Thanksgiving sales, and be sure to ask about any price matching or return policy. Also take advantage of store's email lists – they often send special sale and coupon info. A lot of websites offer free shipping, so send gifts to out of town family and friends directly.
Thoughtful, unique gifts are always more fun to receive. You'd be surprised at how just a little more thought into what each person would really like will save you money. You can also look online to see what kind of gifts you could make at home. The holidays are really about enjoying each other, so keep in mind that the gift of time may be the best of all.

Holiday hosting on a budget.
Create an invite through your social network or design an e-card to send by e-mail. Want a more personal touch? Invite your friends by phone.
Lighting is an inexpensive way to make a big impact: stock up on strands of white and multi-color lights for entrances and serving stations. Use candles and low lighting everywhere else to set a festive mood.
Search online for budget-friendly recipes or consider having your party well before or after dinner, so you can serve appetizers or desserts instead of a full meal. For beverages, you can serve one custom or theme drink, and suggest that guests bring their favorite to share.
Most gift swaps have dollar limits assigned so you can plan accordingly. If you don't know who you're buying for, a good rule is to buy something you'd be happy to take home.

Growing up the tv show Seinfield was one of my favourites. When Jason Alexander, who played the character George, advertised his standup show was being held in Sydney I decided to go and see him. The show was held at the Enmore Theatre. We had been to a show at the theatre before and traffic was horrible. This time we went in very early arriving just after 6pm. We went for a walk and had dinner at a local restaurant. Then we walked to the show ready for the 8pm start. The warm up act was the Umbilical Brothers whom I had seen many years before. They were still good. There was a 25 minute break before Jason Alexander came on stage. Way too long of a break. But his show was very funny.

In the other Washington – Whiskey!
This weekend, thanks to the hostessing skills of Sarah Booth, I explored Washington, VA. The town was named BY George Washington when he was a young land surveyor in the 1750s instead of being named after him after his revolutionary fame. It was a very cute little town that the Inn at Little Washington has put on the map.
While there we check out 2 of the local liquor makers. Copper Fox Distillery which makes Wasmund's Whiskey and Washington Vinyards which I will talk about next time.
The Copper Fox was really cool. They showed us how they soak, dry on the floor and then slow cook the malt. Then how they distill the malt down to a high proof clear liquor which is put in barrels for aging and coloration to that light brown hue.
Fun note which I plan on selling in my new shop, they sell the clear liquor and a barrel so you can age it yourself. I started it last night and promise a post on that process.
I want to thank John Uselton for being such a great host today at the Green Hat Distillery. John, his father in law and their wives started Green Hat in 2011 as an homage to one of the best bootleggers on Capitol Hill during prohibition.
Today Green Hat is one of the best tasting gins on the market. I am not normally a gin drinker but as John explained to me, traditional gins have been too uniform and junipery. Green Hat's distinct distillation process uses spices to bring out special flavors for Spring / Summer and Fall / Winter in addition to their traditional blend.
I highly recommend giving them a try. Especially since Bartender Lyn of 1905 spent most of our visit dreaming new concoctions that she can make with their delicious Gin. Come to Gallagher & Graham in October to buy it for yourself! Vote for our petition.
I've been a fan of DC for a long time now. As my Mom says, the bones of the city are solid: great (free) museums, amazing parks, good jobs, and cool neighborhoods. Now it seems Forbes is the spilling the Tea.
Great News! Gallagher & Graham has been given their placards!
For those unfamiliar with the byzantine legislation around alcohol sales in the District, any new business looking to sell alcohol must put up placards in the window for 60 days to allow for neighborhood comment. We have taken that first step. We look forward to serving our neighbors on U Street by October.
Here is an interesting article about Whiskey Bars around the country with a great compliment to Jack Rose as the uber Whiskey Bar.
Now that I am coming back to U Street to work full time I promise to blog a bit more. Be forewarned it will mostly be about alcohol and my new store!
Here is an interesting new article about different types of Gins. I had no idea.
So I guess The Shay at 9th & Florida is not with it's sister building at 8th & Florida. I just got this email that the 8th STreet building will be the Hatton and will be condo.

Our children will be making their Confirmation on Thursday 9th May. Please keep them in your prayers as they and their families prepare for this special occasion.
Whilst Fr Chris is recovering in Hospital, local priests from neighboring parishes will be celebrating Mass with the support from Fr. Fullop. Please keep Fr Chris in your prayers at this time.
Sunday at 9.30am, please can all the children gather at the back of Church in the Narthex ready to process into church with Father Chris. Thank you.
On Monday 25th March at 10am we have the funeral of Catherine Fleming a well known great lady who lived and spent her life within our Parish. 'Blessed are those who die in the Lord, their good deeds go with them.' A truly lovely way to remember her. May she rest in peace.


Background: Electronic health care data contain rich information on medicine use from which adherence can be estimated. Various measures developed with medication claims data called for transparency of the equations used, predominantly because they may overestimate adherence, and even more when used with multiple medications. We aimed to operationalize a novel calculation of adherence with polypharmacy, the daily polypharmacy possession ratio (DPPR), and validate it against the common measure of adherence, the medication possession ratio (MPR) and a modified version (MPRm).
Methods: We used linked health data from the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and Western Australian hospital morbidity dataset and mortality register. We identified a strict study cohort from 16,185 patients aged ≥65 years hospitalized for myocardial infarction in 2003–2008 in Western Australia as an illustrative example. We applied iterative exclusion criteria to standardize the dispensing histories according to previous literature. A SAS program was developed to calculate the adherence measures accounting for various drug parameters.
Results: The study cohort was 348 incident patients (mean age 74.6±6.8 years; 69% male) with an admission for myocardial infarction who had cardiovascular medications over a median of 727 days (range 74 to 3,798 days) prior to readmission. There were statins (96.8%), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (88.8%), beta-blockers (85.6%), and angiotensin receptor blockers (13.2%) dispensed. As expected, observed adherence values were higher with mean MPR (median 89.2%; Q1: 73.3%; Q3: 104.6%) than mean MPRm (median 82.8%; Q1: 68.5%; Q3: 95.9%). DPPR values were the most narrow (median 83.8%; Q1: 70.9%; Q3: 96.4%). Mean MPR and DPPR yielded very close possession values for 37.9% of the patients. Values were similar in patients with longer observation windows. When the traditional threshold of 80% was applied to mean MPR and DPPR values to signify the threshold for good adherence, 11.6% of patients were classified as good adherers with the mean MPR relative to the DPPR.
Conclusion: In the absence of transparent and standardized equations to calculate adherence to polypharmacy from refill databases, the novel DPPR algorithm represents a valid and robust method to estimate medication possession for multi-medication regimens.

Lake Nyasa
SOUTHERN ZONE:
Lake Nyasa, also called Lake Malawi, lake, southernmost and third largest of the East African Rift Valley lakes of East Africa, lying in a deep trough mainly within Malawi.
Lake Nyasa (Nyasa means "lake") is located at the south-west of Tanzania, The lake lies in three countries' territory; Tanzania and Malawi. However, it is bordered by three countries, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique. It is the third largest in Africa (after Lake Victoria and lake Tanganyika) with 550 kilometers length and 75 kilometers width, covering an area of more than 11,400 square kilometers. In some parts, the lake is as deep as 700 meters.
The Lake lies in the sided walls of mountain ranges: the forested Livingston Mountains and Nyika Plateau, which provide the magnificent view of the lake from far and the landscape for hikers and backpackers.
Lake Nyasa is also among the Great Rift Valley's lakes, which shares some of the characteristics with Lake Tanganyika. The lake has a distinctive characteristic: 14 rivers pouring their waters into the lake, and only one river which flows out to the sea, River Shire.
The Lake also has a lot of names such as "Lake of stars" which is provided by the lovers who trip their and discover it one of the dreamy and romantic destination in Eastern Africa. It is situated between Malawi, Mozambique as well as Tanzania. It has so many things to offer such as numerous opportunities for water sports as well as diving. The lake is enormously rich with diverse fish species and is one of the most appealing lakes that offer unforgettable underwater views!
Some parts of the lake offer nice beaches and places to swim. Matema, in the northern part of the lake is considered to be the best beach for people who like to relax swim along the lake shore. In contrast to other lakes the water of Lake Nyasa is bilharzias free. There are also caves and interesting waterfalls to see.
Other activities include local canoeing ride down the river, hiking on surrounding mountains.
Though Lake Nyasa does not receive many tourists, the lake is magnificently attractive and is rich in crocodiles and hippopotamus. For Fish lovers, Lake Nyasa is biologically the most diverse lake, containing approximately 30% of world's cichlid species (colorful fish which are easily seen in the lake's clear water)

Q: gradle shell script dockerfile Having issue getting the exit code in dockerfile
RUN bash -c " \

if [ $FLAVOR = E2ETEST ] ; then \

  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests abcTest;\
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests cdeTest -PtestType=\"e2e\" executeE2ETests; \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests defTest ; \

the flavor comes from yaml file
how could i get the exit code for the 3 gradle command

A: In bash you can get an exit code of the previous command by $?. e.g:
bash -c "exit 12"; echo $?

will print 12.
In your case, you can save exit codes to variables, however, it can be some problems in getting them because of Dockerfile specialties (you can't export them to environment variables to use in next RUN). Depending on how do you want to use it, you can, for example, write it into a text file, or do something in that script:
RUN bash -c " \

if [ \"$FLAVOR\" = E2ETEST ] ; then \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests abcTest; EX1=\"\$?\"; \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests cdeTest -PtestType=\"e2e\" executeE2ETests; EX2=\"\$?\"; \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests defTest; EX3=\"\$?\"; \
  echo \$EX1 \$EX2 \$EX3" > /tmp/exit_codes; \
fi"

also, it's better to take $FLAVOR in parentheses, because it will produce error if $FLAVOR is empty.
$ are escaped because docker expands the expression during parsing.
And if you just need to check if commands succeeded, just replace ; with && (the following RUN will fails if any command exits with non-zero exit code):
RUN bash -c " \

if [ \"$FLAVOR\" = E2ETEST ] ; then \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests abcTest && \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests cdeTest -PtestType=\"e2e\" executeE2ETests && \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests defTest; \
fi"

To run all commands and get exit code 1 if any of them fails do
RUN bash -c " \

if [ \"$FLAVOR\" = E2ETEST ] ; then \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests abcTest; EX1=\"\$?\"; \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests cdeTest -PtestType=\"e2e\" executeE2ETests; EX2=\"\$?\"; \
  ./gradlew clean :app:testDevDebugUnitTest --tests defTest; EX3=\"\$?\"; \
  if [ $EX1 == 0 ] && [ $EX2 == 0 ] && [ $EX3 == 0 ]; then exit 0; else exit 1; fi; \
fi"

INCA AptiTune specializes in the tuning of PID loops in complex processes where interactions between the various PID loops are significant. Interactive loops can cause the tuning on one PID loop to change the performance of other loops. Even a mode change (e.g. from AUTO to MANUAL) on one of the interacting loops might render one of the other loops to become unstable. A 3 x 3 tuning challenge can have up to 15 parameters to adjust, each parameter affecting the response of every loop.
INCA AptiTune Go has all the capabilities of INCA AptiTune but on a Pay-as-you-go basis. This tool will be released in February 2018.
PID definition and tuning: the user can optimise not only Proportional, Integral, and Derivative terms, but also Setpoint Filter and Derivative Filter as required. The user can pick the best PID equation available as part of the design process.
Visualization and Simulation: setpoint changes, load disturbances, noise simulation, and the robustness of tuning can all be visualized and simulated to intuitively understand the effectiveness of the new tuning.

Middleburg Film Festival Review: A Powerful Cast Amplifies Familiar Themes In MARRIAGE STORY
Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson bring compassion and humanity to Noah Baumbach's portrait of divorce.
By Emily Sears Oct. 21, 2019
There's certainly no shortage of movies about divorce coming out of Hollywood. We've been watching them for decades, from emotional dramas like Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) to more humorous takes on the subject in Irreconcilable Differences (1984) and Mrs. Doubtfire (1993). Even writer/director Noah Baumbach has explored the challenging topic once before in 2005's The Squid and the Whale, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. What these movies have in common – besides a series of remarkable performances – is their use of comedy and drama to navigate the emotional turmoil families endure during the process of divorce. While Baumbach's Marriage Story doesn't break any new ground on the subject, it follows the tried and true formula of portraying the worst of times with sincerity and humor, filtered through raw and compassionate performances from a talented cast.
Marriage Story follows Charlie and Nicole (Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson) as they deal with the grueling process of a coast-to-coast divorce. Charlie is a successful stage director in New York on the verge of landing his first Broadway production. Nicole was once a film actress in LA, but she left that all behind to marry Charlie, earning a permanent role as the lead actress in all of his theater productions. Feeling as though she's lost herself to live out Charlie's dreams, Nicole auditions for and lands a TV pilot that takes her and the couple's eight-year-old son, Henry (Azhy Robertson), back to LA to stay with her family. When the move that Charlie believed was temporary escalates into bitter divorce proceedings complete with diabolical lawyers, he faces the all too real and devastating chance of losing custody of Henry. The couple loses perspective of the loving unit they once were as their lawyers (Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Ray Liotta), focused only on winning, act as the primary voices when it comes to what is best for this family. Tempers flare and lives are forever changed as Charlie struggles to balance his career in New York while maintaining some semblance of a relationship with his son in LA.
Led by Driver and Johansson, the exquisite cast brings new depth to a plot we've seen many times before on screen. While it may take some time for viewers to sympathize with Driver's Charlie as certain truths are brought to light, it's his character that shows the most growth throughout the film. Driver quietly embodies the frustration of being ambushed by Nicole's seemingly sudden decisions, slowly erupting into a superbly acted and extremely uncomfortable to watch fight between the couple rivaled only by the volatile argument depicted in Richard Linklater's Before Midnight. Driver's magnetic presence enhances every emotional and comedic beat of every scene he's in, humanizing Charlie in a way that endears him to his family as well as the audience despite his many faults.
Johansson matches Driver's intensity with a more subdued yet compassionate portrayal of Nicole's side of the story. But, unfortunately, there are times when Baumbach's script paints her as the vindictive ex-wife, inhibiting her character until it becomes clear that the divorce is bringing out the worst in everyone. "It's not as simple as not being in love anymore," she says, and the more painful truth is that it's not as simple as who's right or wrong either. Following the advice of her cutthroat lawyer, Nora (played by the phenomenal Laura Dern), Nicole loses herself in the role of the embittered ex-wife which she never intended to play. Johansson beautifully conveys the strain of attempting to start a new life while trying to hold on to the pieces that matter from the one she's already built.
Supporting performances from Ray Liotta and Alan Alda as Charlie's two disparate lawyers boost Baumbach's signature brand of humor by playfully making light of serious circumstances. Likewise, Julie Hagerty and Merritt Wever as Nicole's eccentric mother and sister are a delightful distraction from the film's more somber scenes. But expect applause when Dern steals the show with a fierce monologue about the unreasonably high standards society places on mothers. Every word and scene composed by Baumbach is effectively energized by the collective talents of this brilliant cast.
In the end, Baumbach's narrative looks beyond how everyone behaves or is affected when a marriage ends to question whether there's any chance for couples that were once a loving team to salvage some of those feelings in the aftermath. Blending comedy into the tragedy with a side of musical theater – that's right, the movie features resounding renditions of Stephen Sondheim classics from both Driver and Johansson – Marriage Story imparts hope that families are capable of finding a way to continue their story with love.
Look for Marriage Story in select theaters November 15th and on Netflix December 6th.
