A novel high-rate sedimentation process has been developed for directly treating combined sewer overflows (CSOs). This was done using a test facility at an actual wastewater treatment plant in Tokyo. Pilot test results, carried out 13 times, from December 2002 to July 2003 in wet weather, suggested that the process was suitable for treatment of CSOs. The performance of the process was favorable at 50 m3/(m2·h) up to 880 mg/L influent TSS, removing between 78% and 91% of TSS at loading and between 64% and 85% of BOD5 also at loading.
The pilot testing clarified that a decrease in the influent alkalinity due to rain water caused a drop in the pH after FeCl3 addition and thus improved coagulation, with a significant decrease in the effluent TSS. Mixing, coagulation and flocculation were carried out in a baffling type mixing tank to enable uniform mixing without any short-passes. Coagulation conditions in this mixing method were evaluated and results clarified that rapid mixing was required momentarily after each addition of FeCl3 and polymer, i.e. to diffuse these additives into the influent.
The impact of wafer edge roll-off on CMP performance was studied using FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis. It was found that the edge roll-off influenced the removal rate distribution at the wafer edge of both stacked and solo pads. This influence was up to 4 mm from the edge for stacked pads and up to 10 mm from the same for solo pads. The surface pressure in the vicinity of the edge, for cases where the ROA (Roll-Off Amount) was 1.27μm, was about 30% greater than that at the wafer center for stacked pads and about 23% greater than the same for solo pads. The relationship between the retainer ring pressure and allowable ROA was also studied.
This report outlines EBARA's pumps for handling LNG, some history and trends, and includes an introduction of a newly developed expander turbine generator.
A low-cost and compact underground vacuum station has been developed for use in vacuum sewerage systems. The underground vacuum station uses vacuum pump units capable of reciprocal rotation. Contaminated water becomes discharged by injecting air into the collection tank, thus making it unnecessary to use discharge pumps, such as those equipped in conventional vacuum collection stations. The compactness of the vacuum pumps, which are placed inside small units for enabling easy maintenance, save considerable space and the collection tank can be set underground and accessed by a manhole. Installation is thus low-cost with no need to construct a structure for the vacuum station.
Snow Lasta, a pump controller for thawing snow, effectively thaws snow on road surfaces making use of pumped up groundwater. Its operation thus has relatively small effect by wind. The Snow Lasta's control panel, equipped with a microcomputer, features a design which enables easy groundwater pumping and pump operation control. The development and production of this product was concerted by EBARA, a sensor manufacturer and a control panel manufacturer. This product features technical know-how accumulated through years of experience in the field. Further studies are being made to enhance this product to meet current and future market demands, especially in terms of environmentally feasible aspects, such as the minimization of water and power consumption.
The newly developed F-REX300SⅡ is an add-on to the F-REX series CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) systems. It features enhanced performance, functions, operability and maintenance capability, thus satisfying the current demand in the semiconductor manufacturing market. This high throughput system comprises a EFEM (Equipment Front-End Module) unit with 4-FOUPs capability, a polishing unit with four polishing tables and a cleaner unit with three cleaning modules and one drying module. Also featured are highly functional transporters in the polishing and the cleaner units, minimized wafer defect during in transportations.

Apple airs its first ad for the Chinese New Year, similar to U.S. 'The Song' ad
- Feb. 1st 2015 3:02 pm PT
Apple has updated its website for China with a new video advertisement in celebration of the Chinese New Year. The one-and-a-half minute advertisement is largely similar to Apple's "The Song" ad for the United States that aired during this past Christmas and holiday season…
In the new ad, a granddaughter utilizes Apple software and hardware to convert a vintage audio recording to a format playable on an iPad. For the U.S. version of the ad, Apple shared a behind-the-scenes tour of the ad's creation.
This new ad is significant as it is Apple's first in China. This advertisement comes at a time when Apple is rapidly growing in China. Apple is opening up several new stores for China this year, and Senior VP of Retail Angela Ahrendts has been recruiting U.S.-based retail employees to relocate to China.

Any chance of a fix on Judex level 4 next update? The max damage Judex is supposed to do is equivalent to Adoramus Level 2 (400%), yet it does somewhere between 800-900% on level 4. It's making ABs very, veeeery OP atm since it spams much faster than Ado... It's lead to an onslaught of new ABs in PVP. ;x I know you're busy but a fix on this would be woooonderful owo!
Can't stand this game now. I used to play beta -- before the upper levels came out; at the time, the highest level was 25. Like most Nexon games, it is ruined when donations are released and beta-testing is over. Bugs all over the place, hacking, and cheating. However, if you're looking to just play this game with friends and not anon players, then go right ahead. It's fun with friends.

Life After Coal: Mining Towns In SW Colorado Race To Survive Another Energy Bust
By Scott Franz • Jan 15, 2020

Turner Prize 2019
Turner Contemporary presents the Turner Prize 2019 exhibition featuring the nominees Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock, Oscar Murillo and Tai Shani.
LAWRENCE ABU HAMDAN
For his solo exhibition Earwitness Theatre at Chisenhale Gallery, London, and for the video installation Walled Unwalled and performance After SFX at Tate Modern, London. Self-proclaimed 'private ear', Abu Hamdan's work investigates crimes that have been heard and not seen; exploring the processes of reconstruction, the complexity of memory and language as well as the urgency of human rights and advocacy. The jury was struck by Abu Hamdan's exploration of sound as an architectural element and the way he recreates particular situations through sound and performance.
For her solo exhibition The Long Note at Void, Derry~Londonderry and IMMA, Dublin. The jury praised the timely and urgent quality of Cammock's work which explores social histories through film, photography, print, text and performance. Creating layered narratives that allow for the cyclical nature of history to be revealed, The Long Note looks at the history and the role of women in the civil rights movement in Derry Londonderry. The work highlights how the complexities of the politics of Northern Ireland have overshadowed the social history of the region and the variety of political positions taken by women during that time.
OSCAR MURILLO
For his participation in the 10th Berlin Biennale, his solo exhibition Violent Amnesia at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge and solo exhibition at the chi K11 art museum Shanghai. The jury particularly praised the way Murillo pushes the boundaries of materials, particularly in his paintings. His work incorporates a variety of techniques and media including painting, drawing, performance, sculpture and sound, often using recycled materials and fragments from his studio. Murillo's work reflects on his own experience of displacement and the social fallout of globalisation.
TAI SHANI
For her participation in Glasgow International 2018, solo exhibition DC: Semiramis at The Tetley, Leeds and participation in Still I Rise: Feminisms, Gender, Resistance at Nottingham Contemporary and the De Le Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea. The jury noted the compelling nature of Shani's ongoing project Dark Continent, particularly the work's ability to combine historical texts with contemporary references and issues. Developed over four years, it takes inspiration from a 15th century feminist text, Christine de Pizan's The Book of the City of Ladies. Shani uses theatrical installations, performances and films to create her own allegorical city of women populated by fantastical characters, transporting the viewer to another time and place.
The winner will be announced on 3 December 2019 at an award ceremony live on the BBC, the broadcast partner for the Turner Prize.

Much Anticipated Orange County Landmark Ruling From Court Of Appeal Goes In Favor Of Defense. Petition For Writ Of Mandate Granted.
By Lonce LaMon - March 22, 2016
It's been an entire year since the defense led by the formidable Benjamin Gluck sent a petition for a writ of mandate to the California Supreme Court on the denied demurrers by Judge Thomas Goethals in the Landmark case in Orange County Superior Court.
The petition was first sent to the Court of Appeal of The State of California, Fourth Appellate District, Division Three in February 2015 and was summarily denied. But Gluck wouldn't take no for an answer. He sent it to the California Supreme Court. That high court granted a review and sent it back to the Fourth Appellate District, Division Three with directions to vacate the previous order denying the writ petition and to issue an alternative writ to be heard in that appeals court. That happened nearly a year ago, so it's been an inordinately drawn out waiting game ever since.
So much time went by that it seemed to be forgotten. This writer went numb looking out for it, and turned to other cases. But when it finally hit, it came stealthily and resounded like a bomb. The ruling was filed a week ago Thursday, on March 10th 2016.
Petition granted.
The present case has been virtually wiped out. All that remains is Count 1 from both indictments, which was a conspiracy charge not addressed in the writ petition, and Counts 298 and 323 from the Charbonnet amended indictment which were repeated counts from the original 30 and 33 which are alleged violations to a single victim entirely within the statute of limitations and therefore were not addressed in the petition. But all the rest--the combination of both indictments, which after amended added to about 450 counts--has gone up in smoke.
This case began with two original indictments which were filed on June 17th 2014. One is the People vs Yvette Charbonnet and the other the People vs Kareem Ahmed. Benjamin Gluck is the defense counsel for Kareem Ahmed, the CEO of Landmark Medical Management who was one of Barack Obama's million-dollar donors. Ahmed is now since June 17th 2014 accused of over 100 million dollars in workers' compensation fraud involving the illegal manufacturing and distribution of compounded pain cream medications.
He is also accused of doling out more than 25 million dollars in kick-backs to physicians in exchange for prescribing his compounds. He, along with a physician and a pharmacist, is accused of involuntary manslaughter in the death of an infant.
Originally in Charbonnet, the grand jury returned an indictment with 35 counts against 12 defendants. Originally in Ahmed, the grand jury returned an indictment with nine counts against three defendants. After numerous demurrers filed by the defense, many of which were sustained by the court, the court allowed the prosecution to amend the indictments which inspired the prosecution to multiply the counts in an attempt to make the corrections ordered.

Benjamin Gluck began arguing vociferously in court around November 2014 of the vagueness and lack of specificity in many of the counts of the indictments. He expressed the scope of the counts contained thousands of discrete offenses. In summation to the grand jury, the prosecutor had stated she could have "charged 5,000 counts in lieu of the actual counts charged."
Gluck exclaimed at some point, during court proceedings, something to the effect that his client and all the defendants "have the right to know what they're being charged with!"
He also argued against numerous victims (workers' compensation payers) being contained within the same counts. The jury instructions had asked for unanimity from the jurors in finding the defendants committed only a single act encompassed within the numerous acts in any count to return a true bill on that count. But Gluck argued that all the "acts" within the single counts did not have affirmations of "probable cause" from the grand jury. Because according to the grand jury instructions, the grand jurors only had to find a single act that affirmed probable cause within the many acts in most counts.
The People sought to amend. They turned the multiple victims' counts into one victim for each count. So, the Charbonnet indictment turned into 349 counts from its original 35 counts. The Ahmed indictment turned into 90 counts from nine counts.

But the defense argued they couldn't do this, although the judge admitted he knew the prosecution would do it. Judge Thomas Goethals stated on January 16th 2015 that he was preparing for different 995 motions and was promising to study the grand jury transcripts more thoroughly. This implies he had not studied the grand jury transcripts that brilliantly. If he had, he would have known the jury instructions better. He explained that when he sustained some demurrers he predicted what the People would do. He predicted they would likely "change 40 counts into 400 counts".
Gluck on that same date said to the prosecution and the judge, "For all of these you have to at least agree on one act. They never identified which act it was. There is a problem in this case."
Evette Charbonnet's attorney, Jean Nelson, argued right after Gluck, "There's a clear rule out there. The People can amend typographical errors. But not this second type of mistake. You cannot change by adding counts."
"They (the prosecution) need to go back to the grand jury and get a new indictment," Gluck stated as the bottom line back in court on January 16th 2015.
Shaddi Kamiabipour, Deputy District Attorney for the workers' compensation fraud unit for Orange County, is shown here in Judge Thomas Goethal's court room on September 12th 2014. She has not decided yet if she will file an information as her next step to prosecute the 15 Landmark defendants, or if she will go back to the grand jury. She stated last Friday, March 18th 2016, that she is in the process of making her decision. But she will, absolutely, do something. photo by Lonce LaMon, copyright with all rights reserved
And that's precisely what the prosecution has to do. Gluck had gotten it right. Shaddi Kamiabipour has to go back to the grand jury, or else she has to file this case as an information rather than use a grand jury. "It's a set- back," she told this writer on Friday, March 18th 2016, while inside the Orange County Superior Court building.
With an information she would have a preliminary hearing, and would therefore not be so tied to form. She could rely more on the evidence. The rules imposed on amending indictments vs amending informations are vastly different as has been explained in the appeal court ruling filed on March 10th 2016.
There were also issues with the statute of limitations in many of the counts. There was also the issue that the prosecution changed the manslaughter charge from involuntary manslaughter done lawfully to involuntary manslaughter done unlawfully.
Benjamin Gluck is a power with which to be contended. He's brilliant like some kind of Cartesian evil genius. He knows the law better than any and all. Which is good, we must all admit.
He will go to any extreme in defending a client's due process rights and will especially go after the Media. He's a fraudster's dream super lawyer. He's the alpha-wolf who leads the pack of defense wolves in all the joint demurrers and 995 motions.

But the prosecution will either go back to the grand jury or file an information. photo by Lonce LaMon, copyright with all rights reserved
Last month on February 19th in downtown Los Angeles Criminal Court, the Honorable Kathleen Kennedy in the midst of the Criminal Organization Munir Uwaydah case proceedings, asked Gluck's associate, Ariel Newman, "Mr. Gluck isn't here again?"
Gluck is defending Dr. Munir Uwaydah's right-hand-man, Paul Turley, in that case. While the pernicious and perfidious Uwaydah is still on the lam, last word suggesting he's in the Ukraine, Gluck is defending Turley, Uwaydah's second in command. However, for the past two hearings Gluck has sent his associate, Ariel Newman, to the court room and he himself has been absent. Most likely on February 19th Gluck was in Orange County on the Aspen Quartet case. So Judge Kennedy looked disappointed and stated, "I'm feeling neglected."
So, even the judges love him. He's beguiling with a boyish charm and a face that can't quite grow a full beard.
Shaddi Kamiabipour with her co-counsels, one prominent one being Debbie Jackson, in Orange County is breaking ground in the youthful field of workers' compensation fraud prosecution. The issue is the numbers. It's harrowing. This is why she said to the grand jury that she could have charged 5,000 counts in lieu of the actual counts charged.
The number of billings are so overwhelming the district attorneys have to consolidate. Shaddi tries to put many acts together. A DDA isn't forced to try this with regular pedestrian cases. The lesson here that's evolving is it can work with filed cases but only with overwhelming care and caution with grand jury cases. Form is of the essence with a grand jury case.
Workers' compensation billing fraud cases are a formidable challenge. How to get in the seemingly infinite numbers. In 2012, during the first case of Sim Hoffman, M.D. which was a grand jury case, Shaddi stated she could only go back one year with the billings from Sim Hoffman's medical practice; otherwise the case would be completely unmanageable. It produced 17 million in fraud just from that one year.
Yes, that first Sim Hoffman, M.D. grand jury case filed in May of 2011 in Orange County was also lost but to a successful 995 motion led by defense attorney Richard Moss. At least it wasn't won by Benjamin Gluck.

OC 609: Supposing we met people who did not regard that as telling reason. Now, how do we imagine this? Instead of the physicist, they consult an oracle. (And for that we consider them primitive.)

"When we walked out of the textile mill thinking big, they locked us out, beat down our optimism and we couldn't get back in. You hear me?
Man, I pray it don't come to that.
Get down on your knees, son...
"In Lynette Linton's production, Frankie Bradshaw's impressive design sets the watering hole against a background of rusting girders... I can't think of any recent play that tells us so much, so vividly about the state of the union." ***** The Guardian
"Frankie Bradshaw's design is first monumental and decrepit, then bright and detailed. An industrial wasteland – rusty pipes the breadth of human torsos – gives way to a bright bar with a neon sign in cursive writing, plastic tomatoes for ketchup." ***** The Observer
"The scene is beautifully designed by Frankie Bradshaw with just the right level of detail and rusted girders holding up the sides, to remind us that the women and the city owe their prosperity to an industry that is dying." ***** Whatsonstage
" We don't know what's going on, but we'll soon find out, as Frankie Bradshaw's all-American bar set descends from the ceiling, carefully, reverently, like a place of worship." ***** Time Out

Would you drop $140K on this 437-mile E39 BMW M5?
by Andrew Newton //
Score! An impossibly distant, impossibly rich relative took a shine to your average-Joe predicament and wrote you a fat check for $140,000. With that many Benjamins you could have a brand-new BMW M6, Porsche 911, or even a Z06 Corvette and a ZL1 Camaro. Hell, you could even have two new BMW M3s if you wanted, or here's a head-scratcher—a 16-year-old M5 with 437 miles. Huh?
That's right, a 2002 example of the E39-generation M5 in Titanium Silver over Black is headed to auction at Pebble Beach, and Gooding & Company put the pre-sale estimate at $140,000–$180,000. Basically, now's your chance to buy the exquisite V-8 executive missile that passed you by back when Ja Rule was barking over radio waves across America. It even comes with all its original tools and books, including a VHS tape entitled Enjoying your new 5 Series. Cool.
Gooding & Company says the M5 is "essentially brand-new in the wrapper. There is already an established value for exceptional examples of these cars, and this will sell for a large premium over a more average example."
Built from 1998–2003, the E39 M5 was the model's third generation, and the super-sedan offered a 5.0-liter V-8 with VANOS variable valve timing and 394 horsepower that could get you from 0–60 in 4.6 seconds. For reference, a 2018 M5 has 600 hp and does 0–60 in the low-3-second range.
The 2002 M5 had an MSRP of just under $70,000 when new, and that's quite the unexpected appreciation in just 16 years, especially for a car that was so widely produced.
Gooding & Company / James Lipman
Even adjusted for inflation, this car's original price only would have been around $100K. Some BMWs like the E30 M3 have certainly been on a tear in recent years in terms of value growth, but it hasn't been quite the same for later high-performance Bimmers. Aside from a handful of low-mile E39 M5s asking around $100K at dealerships, nobody is asking anywhere near the low estimate placed on this this Pebble Beach car.
There aren't any recent transactions anywhere close to that, either. Then again, low-mileage examples are hard to find, let alone like-new delivery-mile unicorns such as this car. And like-new cars command huge premiums among serious collectors.
Twice the MSRP in less than 20 years seems a little premature, but then again this could be the kind of breakout sale that brings other like-new M cars out of hiding.

DHTML Lemmings™ - the story continues... or not?
Secondly I resent my email to Take 2 Games, who I still believe is the copyrightholder of Lemmings™, and this time I actually received an email back that they have their legal department looking into it. That however is more than a week ago already. They responded quite annoyed when I asked about the status, telling me they just need more time.
Then I went into legislation. Now I'm just a programmer and had no education whatsoever concerning the law and stuff, but this is what I've got: my work is not a copy, it's a derivate that is made to look like the original but on a complete different platform technically. This requires a complete different approach, therefor it can be considered a standalone work, that may look like the original but simply isn't.
I used material available in the public domain to make it, but used my knowledge from the original game to make it look and act the same. This means that without the original I could not have made this game, and that is actually where the copyright infringement would be in effect.

Britney Spears will never perform again?
The popular star Britney Spears has won the hearts of the audience with her amazing and memorable performances However, fans were disappointed to learn that the Toxic singer put her second Las Vegas residency on hold four months ago. While fans were hoping she would return to the stage soon, Britney's longtime manager Larry Rudolph expressed that she might never perform again.
Larry Rudolph, who has been associated with the international singer for the longest time, believes she should not return to the Vegas residency ever. Talking to TMZ, Larry Rudolph said, "As the person who guides her career -- based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis -- from what I have gathered it's clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again."
He also added that he hopes Britney would return to the stage only when she is physically, mentally and passionately ready. He said that he has no desire or ability to make the songstress work again. He further added, "I am only here for her when she wants to work. And, if she ever does want to work again, I'm here to tell her if it's a good idea or a bad idea."

What: Shares of life insurer Prudential Financial (NYS: PRU) were getting hammered today, falling as much as 12% in intraday trading after the company reported first-quarter results.
So what: What's a billion dollars between friends? In the case of Prudential and its shareholders, it's apparently reason enough for a 10%-plus drop in the stock. In the first quarter Prudential lost nearly $1 billion as derivative positions moved against the company. Currency movements in particular, especially the Japanese yen's move against the dollar, were a big part of that loss, as they led to $1.5 billion of the $1.8 billion in investment-related losses. On an operating basis -- which excludes certain investments -- the company earned $1.56 per share, while Wall Street analysts had been expecting $1.72.
Now what: As anyone who was alive and not under a rock during the financial crisis no doubt knows, derivatives can be scary beasts. But sometimes they can end up having more bark than bite. While Prudential's quarter looks terrible thanks to those big derivative movements, it doesn't necessarily mean that the company has made bone-headed investments.
Under CEO John Strangfeld, the company has set its sights on improving return on equity for shareholders. Obviously, this quarter does not look like a step in the right direction, but investors may want to take a breath or two and make sure to consider the big picture as well as this quarter.

John is down on his luck, so he moves into grimy little apartment house #24 where the paint is stained, the water drips, and all the tenants share a bathroom. But his situation is only temporary, until he finds a job and gets back on his feet.
When John's ex-girlfriend Veronica disappears into the little black and white television from which only hostile faces stare, John realizes he cannot escape the building or his fate. There's a grave in the backyard with a stone engraved with "Lie Still." And the man in the photo he cannot destroy is the man in the basement, the original owner of the house, who eventually comes to visit him.
There's no all-star cast, no fantastic makeup, no dazzling special effects in #24. But what this British horror flick does have is loads of atmosphere, disquieting despair, and a mounting level of apprehension reminiscent of David Lynch's Eraserhead.
This movie disturbed me like the short stories of Ramsey Campbell. Its ghosts will stalk the corridors of my mind for some time. 3.7/5.0 stars.
The Haunting of 24 was originally release in the UK as Lie Still in 2005. Written and directed by Sean Hogan. Starring Stuart Laing, Nina Sosanya, Robert Blythe, Susan Engel, and Granville Saxton.

A night with Owen Ragland and crew is guaranteed to be chock full of chilled-out grooves that have more of a modern tilt, with neo-soul, hip-hop, and even electronic influences. Eighteen-year-old Ragland brings this multi-stylistic approach, bolstered by years of piano training, to every Dark Room performance, and it's a wonder to be able to experience the growth of this young musical mind.
One of the standouts from this particular evening was the now-classic, "Afro-Blue" by Robert Glasper (ft. Erykah Badu). During trumpeter Khamali Cuffie-Moore's solo, the beat morphs into an impeccable, glitchy modern groove held down by Tilton Yokley (bass) and Keith Bowman (drums).
As we saw in an earlier post, musicians who play with each other consistently start to anticipate their bandmates' every move. You can see this band developing these complex, non-verbal interactions, which you might call interplay. Wonderful, spontaneous moments able to occur more freely when a band becomes more familiar with each other's playing style.
Not only does the band do great "Nu jazz", they're also adept at the classic jazz sound, exemplified with the group's rendition of "Someday My Prince Will Come". Note sprinkles of the blues throughout Cuffie-Moore's smooth and thoughtful solo.
"Let You Go" by Moonchild: Another perfect example of the undeniable groove this band is capable of. The vibe of the group can be credited heavily to both Yokley, whose hip-hop influenced bass sound provides rhythmic variety and harmonic counterpoint, and Bowman, whose heartfelt beats are the foundation for it all.
Even though I came into my job as a reasonably knowledgeable fan of Herbie Hancock's work, for some reason I had always skipped over his 1974 album "Thrust". So, I'd never really heard the classic song "Butterfly" before the summer of 2016, when I started working with the Kranzberg Arts Foundation. It turns out to be one of the more popular songs for artists to reinterpret on the Dark Room stage.
The version I present here is the most electrifying version I've heard while performing sound engineering duties here (so far). It features Mo Egeston on keys, Dhoruba Shakur on drums, Eric "Snoopy" Tyler on bass, and Duane "Jingo" Williams on percussion.
Egeston flies just like a butterfly on electric piano before switching back to synth, at which point Shakur breaks it down, and the song takes on an early '90's techno vibe. They play the "Butterfly" rhythmic motif once more in a climax, before transitioning seamlessly into Roy Ayers "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" for more abundant jams!

Bibulous Erasmus
Brian Cummings
"The fower quarters of the yeare: Autumne," (London, 1643) ART 232- 608.3, Folger Shakespeare Library.
Ars longa, vita brevis, as you hear every day in the tearoom at the Folger Shakespeare Library. This Christmas at the Folger I made a discovery which made me feel young: Erasmus's favourite wine! The thought had been with me since I heard a disputation at the British Academy, years ago, between Eamon Duffy and Diarmaid MacCulloch. All of a sudden, for once they agreed on something: that the Reformation was essentially a quarrel between beer-drinkers and wine-drinkers. You will be glad to know that the new Encyclopaedia of Martin Luther and the Reformation (New York, 2017) has a learned entry on Beer. And as Duffy and MacCulloch wound down into post-symposium revelries, already an Erasmian colloquium was forming in my mind, on whether Erasmus was a beer-drinker or a wine-drinker. After all, he was born in Holland, one of the great beer-drinking countries of the world, which even invented the world's best drinking snack, bitterballen, precisely to go with monastic ales.
Frans Huys, Magnus ille Erasmus Roterodamus… (n.d.) ART Vol. a11 no.105, Folger Shakespeare Library.
[Guide gastronomique [1]: De Jopenkerk, a converted church, Haarlem, NL – try "Malle Babbe"]
On the other hand, I felt sure that Erasmus preferred wine, just as, despite espousing reform, and flirting with the young Luther, he remained a life-long Catholic. Familiaria colloquia (1522) – where else – provides a definitive answer. It comes in the Convivium profanum, a dialogue between a variety of characters (chiefly Augustinus, Christianus, and Erasmius), who vie with each other in gluttony, and in describing foods and wines beloved of gourmets (or else people who just eat a lot). There are jokes at the expense of Stoics and other moralists, and worst of all, Diogenes the Cynic, who lived off raw vegetables and clear water. Kale, quinoa, and mesclun, are definitely off the menu at this particular feast.

[Guide gastronomique [2]: sweetgreen, 221, Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, all-day kale]
At this point, Christianus asks what his friend likes to drink with a meal: does he prefer red or white (rubrum an candidum)? Augustinus replies: "The colour's no hindrance provided the taste's agreeable" (a classic wino's quip). But something else is going on: how do we use words to describe sensory things? Verbal discrimination is deliberately elided by Erasmus into distinctions of taste, since food – and especially wine – is famously hard to put into apt words, at least without resorting to absurd metaphor. Christianus comments: "Yet there are famous gourmets who deny that wine deserves approval unless it pleases the four senses: the eyes by its colour, the nostrils by its fragrance, the palate by its taste, the ears by its name and fame." Now he drops his foodie bombshell: Tantum, ut multi non stupidi palati vehementer probarint villum Louanio vernaculum quum crederent, esse Belnense. Many people with "not stupid palates" can't tell a wine from Louvain from one of Beaune in Burgundy.
This is the joke that got me salivating. At first I thought it was a beer gag: because in Louvain these days you will not find Belgian wine (the very idea is an oxymoron) but plenty of Belgian beer, including Bourgogne de Flandres (which sounds like an Erasmian trope). But in the fifteenth century, the Dukes of Burgundy planted vines in their territories at Brussels, Namur, Mons, and Louvain. Still, the thought brings a sneer to the nose of Erasmus: who could make such a terrible mistake? And there is a theological joke, too: Louvain is home to the nastiest scholastics.
[Guide gastronomique [3]: Le troubadour, Louvain (nr. KU) – mussels with Bourgogne de Flandres]
So, is Beaune Erasmus's favourite wine? Here I digress into a visite du vignoble via P.S. Allen's great edition of Erasmus's letters. Epistola 1342 to Marcus Laurinus is one of the most extraordinary in the 3000 letters that survive. Half of it is a defence of his position on the Luther affair, which was convulsing Europe; the other half is an itinerary of his odyssey around Europe in 1521, especially an uncomfortable stay in Constance and a long convalescence in Basel. In Constance he was very ill with fever and the gallstone, and nearly died (before we feel too sorry, remember that Erasmus is always nearly dying of something). But on return to Basel he is sent a half-cask of red Burgundy by Nikolaus von Diesbach, dean and bishop-designate. Erasmus makes a miraculous recovery: he felt reborn, renatus in alium hominem. Is this a sly dig at Luther, in a letter which is all about Luther's evangelical doctrines, and how they are worse than any disease? Especially when he now claims that red Burgundy has had a direct medicinal benefit observed by the doctors, who say that his stone has disappeared. Happy is the name of Burgundy, he raptures: O felicem vel hoc nomine Burgundiam! In another letter he calls the wine a deus ex machina. He might move to France tomorrow, except that with fresh supplies he will not need to, as he reports in Ep. 1510, a year later: "I have done a deal with the vintner for three half-casks, one of old wine and two of new".

Can we locate what particular wine might have brought such magical results? Here we encounter a great aporia in epicurean history, which is that the technological revolutions of the eighteenth century – in bottling and especially in corks – mean that we judge wine by completely different standards. Beaune, with its beautiful coloured rooftops, is now the commercial centre of a multi-million-Euro industry. Wine is a science (oenology, a word Erasmus surely must have invented) which went from France to California and back again, transforming an everyday drink into the wine-tasting superlatives of today. Red Burgundy, some connoisseurs say, has typical aromas of horseshit [sic] and blackberry jam. What would Erasmus have made of that? I think he would have loved it, and cited it in De copia, his great book which makes a philosophical marriage between all the possible words, and all possible things in the world. But what did he taste? There are three references in the letters to a wine from Beaune, which seems to be the one he liked best; it "was of a most agreeable colour – you might call it ruby-red"; the taste was "neither sweet nor dry", "neither cold nor fiery", and so kind to the digestion that "it did very little harm" – even when taken in quantity.

The mythology of French wine is based on a holy trinity of values: the grape; the vintage; and most mystical of all, le terroir. This untranslateable word means something like "all the best wine comes from France". White wine in Burgundy is now dominated by the Chardonnay grape, which in unoaked form is still perhaps the most opulently elegant white in the world; but in Erasmus's time almost certainly the whites of Burgundy were made from the Fromenteau grape, perhaps equivalent to Pinot Gris. As for reds, on the other hand, we have documentation: on 6 August 1395, Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, made the political decision of his life in banning the "vile and disloyal Gamay", and giving precedence to the Noirien, a less high-yielding grape. This is the ancestor of the modern Pinot Noir, that most quixotic and awkward of grapes. For those who love it, it is the cutest grape in history, but it is very hard to grow in abundance, and likes poor soil, cool climates, and fairly steep hills. Since these are also the conditions that wipe out harvests in bad years, the Pinot Noir is a cruel mistress, although it has found renewed success in chillier areas such as Oregon, New Zealand, and Alpine Italy, as well as its native Burgundy. However, good red Burgundy also needs a bit of age in the bottle to develop its flavours, and nothing about wine storage in Erasmus's time was much suited to ageing. He describes liking wine with a bit of age (perhaps two years), but after four he says most of the flavour has disappeared.
We are left with terroir. The intensity of the modern wine trade is such that individual parcels of land perhaps 30 metres wide are prized as having such a particularity of flavour that they are considered quite distinct from others only a hundred metres away. It is possible that for Erasmus "Beaune" meant nothing like that. Belnense might be a generic name for wine of the whole region, somewhat like "Bordeaux" or "Sonoma". But it is also possible that Erasmus does mean the name of this particular village. So could we find his wine on a map? It got me thinking, and indeed googling, looking at wine maps, which have always given me a special kind of pleasure. There is something cartographically exciting about a wine map: all of those tiny parcels of land, and weird names, coloured in crimson for red wine, or yellow-green for white; in the case of Burgundy, with darker shading, the better the wine. So I googled this.

And it got me thinking: if any of these vineyards are really old, they will be close to the town but not part of it; for instance, those near the cemetery. The cemetery will always have been in the same place. And here I was excited, because there on the map, at just that point, were some vineyards I knew the names of: "Toussaints", "les Bressandes", "les Cent Vignes". Not really expensive wines – but of a price which a father, shall we say my own father, might buy his son for his 40th birthday.

For here the strands of my story had become personal. My father, who was a complicated man, was always happiest when opening a bottle of red Burgundy with his own family. He discovered Burgundy, place and wine, when I was in my teens. We used to stay at an unpretentious hotel in one of the smaller villages, Fixin – Beaune even then was hopelessly expensive and chic. The hôtel was called (as almost all nice Logis de France are, at least in the memory) Chez Jeannette, and we would stay for a week, and each night my father would buy a slightly better wine. He wasn't buying the most expensive stuff, and Burgundy was then still quite a backwater for most travellers, nothing like the Côte d'Azur. In memory of these trips, when I was 40, he did indeed buy me 12 bottles of Beaune, "Les Cent Vignes", made by Albert Morot, an extremely traditional negociant.
How did these vineyards get such beautiful names? Originally, the story goes, it was "Sans Vignes", because no wine was made there; then they planted vines and changed the name. "Les Bressandes" is either named after the 13th century canon, Johannis Bressand – or else after the women of Bresse. "Les Marconnets" perhaps refers to an ancient gallic tribe conquered by the Romans.
[Guide gastronomique [5]: Le Diplomate, 14th St, NW, DC, Beaune 2006 Domaine Maillard.]
Such etymologies are very Erasmian. It would be nice to believe in an Erasmian vineyard. It is not impossible – for it was the Benedictines from Cluny who first began cultivating wines on a large scale, and the Cistercians who first walled off individual vineyards and prized the difference between small parcels of terroir. They were doing this in the 14th century. But the oldest map of Burgundian wine, to my knowledge, is 18th century. It offers nothing at this level of detail, consisting of a range of small mountains and the names of the main villages.
Claude Arnoux, "Dissertation sur la situation de la Bourgogne…" (London, 1728). Image courtesy of the Bibliothèque municipale de Dijon.
It is appended to the first ever book on Burgundy, by Claude Arnoux: Dissertation sur la situation de la Bourgogne, et sur les vins qu'elle produit (1728). He mentions four vineyards in Beaune, St Desiré, la Montée, les Grèves, and la Fontaine de Marconney. Traces of all these can still be found – the last is now Les Marconnets, above. Arnoux favours even more the wines of Volnet (now Volnay) and Pommard. Wines from Beaune, he says, much as Erasmus does, do not do well after two years of age. Volnay, he says, has the colour of l'oeil de perdrix – the eye of a partridge – and goes on: "il est plein de feu, de montant, & de legereté; il est presque tout esprit" ("it is full of fire, of flavour, and of lightness; it is almost all spirit"). Just like in Erasmus, Arnoux presents us with the problem of copia: how to represent things in words. Word is added to word, to express through variety of language the abundance of matter. Wine, like language, is a cornucopia. And so, as we continue to try, and fail, to give expression to sense perception through metaphor, there is nothing for it but to open another bottle, and wonder if it might be, as for Erasmus, a cure for life's ills or even a deus ex machina.

OSU pulls away to beat Cincinnati
By Steve Helwagen - Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann was so exasperated with his team's offense at halftime of Wednesday's season opener against Cincinnati that he tore up the game plan and started over from scratch.
The adjustments led to the 18th-ranked Buckeyes rallying from a seven-point first half deficit to turn back the visiting Bearcats 64-56 in a rare regular season match-up between the state's two largest universities.
"That was a good, old fashioned rock fight there," Holtmann said. "It was the most physical opening game I have ever been a part of. Give Cincinnati a lot of credit. I thought they disrupted everything we wanted to do game plan-wise.
"We could not run our offense so much so that we scrapped our offense at halftime," he said. "Our guys were great. They played off instincts and really responded. I'm sure it wasn't aesthetically pleasing to people, but I don't really care."
Junior forward Kyle Young had a career-high 14 points and 13 rebounds to pace Ohio State. He made 6 of 7 shots from the floor and the Buckeyes rallied to spoil John Brannen's Cincinnati coaching debut.
"I would just say effort is a big thing," said Young, who missed most of last season with a leg injury. "Coach preaches high energy, and I have to be a guy who goes in there and gets extra rebounds. We just trust that we're going to play well together."
Freshman guard D.J. Carton added nine points and five rebounds for Ohio State, while Kaleb Wesson had eight points and 11 rebounds. C.J. Walker also added eight points in his Ohio State debut after transferring from Florida State.
Jarron Cumberland and Keith Williams each had 13 points to lead Cincinnati, which shot a dismal 33 percent from the floor and 19 percent from behind the three-point arc (4 of 21).
"I thought it looked like an early season game with two pretty good basketball teams," Brannen said. "The physicality of the game and the lack of offensive rhythm had a lot to do with it being the first game."
Cincinnati led 26-19 after a slow, rough first half. Ohio State failed to score for the first 7:45 until Young got a breakaway jam off Carton's outlet pass. Up to that point, Ohio State had missed its first seven shots from the floor as well as its first four free throws while committing five turnovers.
Ohio State went on a 14-3 run to start the second half, with Kaleb Wesson stepping out to hit a pair of 3s. They surged ahead 33-29 with 13:16 left.
Buckeyes freshman E.J. Liddell scored off a feed from Duane Washington Jr., and Carton hit a pair of free throws to make it 59-53 with 2:16 left.
Cincinnati's Chris McNeal had a three-point play to cut it to 60-56 with 52 seconds left, and Ohio State's Washington and C.J. Walker each hit a pair of free throws to help the Buckeyes ride it out.
Ohio State: After a slow start, a good win for the Buckeyes, who were ranked in the preseason AP poll for the first time in five years.
Cincinnati: Brannen led Northern Kentucky to two NCAA Tournament appearances in the last three seasons before he was tapped to replace Mick Cronin, who left UC after 13 years to become the head coach at UCLA. The Bearcats stayed close most of the way but couldn't finish.
A RARE OCCURRENCE
This was just the fourth men's basketball meeting between Ohio's two largest universities since 1962. It was Cincinnati's first trip to Columbus to play Ohio State since 1921. Ohio State won by an identical score at Cincinnati last year as part of a two-year home-and-home arrangement. The Buckeyes now lead the all-time series 8-4. It's unclear, however, when these two schools — located just 100 miles apart — will play again.
INJURY UPDATE
Ohio State senior forward Andre Wesson left with 6 minutes left after being poked in the right eye on a rebound attempt. He did not return.
Cincinnati: Hosts Drake on Monday.
Ohio State: Hosts UMass-Lowell on Sunday.

Gene-Disrupting Ultra-Rare Variants More Common in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Jul 26, 2021 | staff reporter
NEW YORK — Ultra-rare genetic variants that likely disrupt genes are more common among children with autism spectrum disorder, a new study has found.
Autism spectrum disorder affects about 1 in 59 children in the US, and while de novo mutations are known to account for part of autism risk, the role of ultra-rare variants in disease risk has been less studied.
Researchers led by the University of Washington's Evan Eichler used whole-genome sequencing data from nearly 3,500 families with either multiplex or simplex autism spectrum disorder to examine the transmission of ultra-rare variants among affected individuals.
"We focused on this other class of variants because only a relatively small fraction (estimates of about 20 to 25 percent) are thought to be explained by de novo disruptive mutations or large copy number variants," Eichler said in an email. "We were searching for another class of impactful gene disruptive events that might explain more of the genetic cause of autism."
As they reported in Nature Genetics on Monday, he and his colleagues found that children with autism were more likely to have ultra-rare genetic variants that likely disrupt genes than their unaffected siblings and that these variants tend to converge on biological pathways like the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex signaling pathway. The findings further support a multi-hit model for autism, the researchers said.
The researchers sequenced more than 2,500 samples from nearly 400 families with multiplex autism and about 250 families with simplex autism and combined that data with previously published data to generate a combined dataset of 4,363 individuals with autism, 2,235 unaffected siblings, and parent-child SNV data from 774 multiplex and 2,700 simplex families. Overall, there were 26.6 million unique private mutations among both affected children and their unaffected siblings.
By comparing the siblings, the researchers found ultra-rare variants were more common among the siblings with autism and that this signal became stronger as genes become less tolerant to mutations. At the same time, though, that signal was still present among genes that are more tolerant to mutations. This, Eichler noted, contrasts with the pattern found among de novo mutations associated with autism.
The researchers further homed in on a set of 163 candidate genes and noted that several of them were involved in pathways previously tied to autism spectrum disorder risk. For instance, there was an enrichment of genes in the E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway, which is involved in proteasome degradation and has a known role in autism.
The burden of private ultra-rare likely gene-disrupting variants was higher among children from multiplex families, though still present among children from simplex families.
According to the researchers, their findings support a multi-hit model for the development of autism. "Our estimates suggest the [multi-hit model] is a big contributor especially among cases where autism runs in the family," Eichler said, adding that it could be "as important as de novo mutations — so it doesn't explain all cases but is part of the missing genetics of the disorder."
He and his colleagues estimated that ultra-rare transmitted likely gene-disruptive variants account for about 4.5 percent of ASD risk — de novo SNVs and indel contribute, by comparison, between 6 percent and 9 percent of autism risk — and suggested that these are an understudied class of variants.
Next, Eichler said he and his lab will be studying the individual genes that contribute to this signal, an analysis he noted will require very large sample sizes.

LOCAL EXECUTIVES MAKE FLORIDA TREND'S LIST OF THE 500 MOST INFLUENTIAL BUS
Visibility and financial heft don't necessarily equal influence according to Florida Trend magazine, which spent a significant amount of time researching and compiling their list of Florida's Most Influential Business Leaders, 17 of which reside right here in Southwest Florida.
According to the criteria set forth by Florida Trend, which includes categories used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the US Department of Commerce, these leaders love Florida, understand the issues our state faces, and are committed to not only their personal endeavors, but their communities as well.
Candidates for the list were asked a series of questions including what they considered to be the biggest issue that Florida currently faces, what personal challenges they have faced throughout their careers, and what their outlook is for the future of their respective industries. Some questions dug a little deeper to give us a more intimate peak at the men and women who are influencing Southwest Florida.
The fashion maven and Chico's FAS CEO, Shelley Broader, has a side fascination with the medical field, reading medical journals and websites in her spare time. Garrett Richter, President, CEO & Director of First Florida Integrity Bank was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, a Bronze Star, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. Phil Wood, CEO of the luxury real estate brokerage John R. Wood Properties, loves nature parks and has historically been known to collect antique bottles, some with beautiful patent medicine labels that claim to cure every disease known to man. Local Attorney Laird Lile has managed to see "Hamilton: An American Musical" 14 times, and Marketing and Public Relations guru Tina McCain Matte is hot on his heals counting 13 times at Hamilton.
"It's an honor to be recognized in this list of impressive local business professionals," said Phil Wood. "There are so many positive aspects to living in Southwest Florida and the people certainly underscore the value that can be found in our area."
The list of 500 Floridians was broken out into 16 sections including agriculture, arts/entertainment/ sports, education, energy, finance/insurance, hospitality/tourism, information/tech/media, law, life sciences, living legends, manufacturing, philanthropy/non-profits, professional services, real estate, retail/wholesale, and transportation.
"It's a misperception that Southwest Florida is strictly a retirement town," adds Garrett Richter. "The community is full of vibrant business owners and investors who care about the success and enrichment of the area. I'm thrilled to be a part of it and to be included on this list of distinguished influencers."
Florida has always drawn its fair share of celebrities like Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Jimmy Buffett, and Governor Jeb Bush, all of whom made the list, but it is the local influencers right here in Fort Myers and Naples that should not be overlooked.
FORT MYERS AND NAPLES MOST INFLUENTIAL BUSINESS LEADERS:
Allen Weiss, President and CEO, NCH Healthcare System, Naples
Bruce Sherman, Co-Founder, Private Capital Management; Majority Owner, Miami Marlins, Naples
Caroline Beasley, CEO, Beasley Broadcast Group, Naples
Don Huffner, President and CEO, Collier Enterprises, Naples
Douglas Vanoort, Chairman and CEO, Neogenomics, Fort Myers
Garrett Richter, President, CEO and Director, First Florida Integrity Bank, Naples
Gary Tice, Chairman, First Florida Integrity Bank, Naples
Kathryn Marinello, President and CEO, Hertz, Estero
Laird Lile, Attorney, Laird A. Lile, Naples
Mitch Hutchcraft, VP, Real Estate, King Ranch, Fort Myers
Phil Wood, CEO, John R. Wood Properties, Naples
Reinhold Schmieding, Founder and President, Arthrex, Naples
Scott Lutgert, Chairman, Lutgert Cos., Naples

I beg USA, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Canada, all European countries please don't recognize, don't accept the result of the election 2018 in Cambodia. Why? Hun Sen did change the law about dissolve CNRP in the middle of the game on purpose. Democracy countries in the world know Cambodia now is not a democracy. Now Hun Sen is trying to bargain for staying in power again, again. Please don't bandage, do surgery for a long future. I know there will be more pain but it is worth it.
well, I see the king as a slave of Hun Sen. It does not serve as a king. He got fed like a king but he works like a slave. When the last time that you see the king has a voice as a king. it is sad to see a person don't know how to make a living and accept a fake position name.

November 15, 2007 – Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. today introduced a fourth generation contrast-free imaging technique, Time and Space Angiography (TSA), which creates images that show dynamic blood flow without using contrast agents.
Toshiba says that it is further expanding the capabilities and safety of MRA imaging, and TSA will have a variety of clinical benefits to improve both diagnostic confidence and patient care and safety. TSA builds upon the Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse (Time-SLIP) technique and is especially desirable for patients with compromised circulations and renal flow problems. It features an extremely high temporal resolution and a continually changing inversion pulse time, creating dynamic images showing blood flow in motion.
In patients with symptoms of stroke, TSA is able to show blood flow into the brain and clearly display the area being impeded, which aids physicians in faster, more accurate diagnosis. For neurologists, the use of TSA will enable the diagnosis of cerebral spinal fluid diseases non-invasively.
This alternative non-contrast technique may be useful as gadolinium-based contrast agents, commonly used in MRA, have been directly linked to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, also known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NSF/NFD), a sometimes fatal disease that occurs in patients with renal insufficiency. According to a recent study by rheumatologists at Massachusetts General Hospital1, NSF cases could reach epidemic proportions. The study found that NSF affected 30 percent of hemodialysis patients who were exposed to gadolinium during a MR exam. Previous studies had estimated only a 2 to 5 percent incidence for developing NSF after receiving gadolinium.
