The electrochemistry and photoelectrochemistry of a (110) face of single-crystal lithiated NiO has been studied. The Mott-Schottky and photocurrent appearance potential suggest a flat-band potential of +0.8 V (NHE), and earlier capacitance data are used to fix a second acceptor level at +0.4 eV above the Li acceptor states. A simple geometrical interpretation of the anodic transients at 0.95 and 1.30 V (NHE) is provided, and the Tafel slope observed at anodic potentials is shown to be consistent with an electrochemical process having charge transfer as a rate-determining step. The optical data are interpreted with an energy-level scheme using a value of ca. 3 eV for the Hubbard parameter U defining the correlation splitting of the Ni 3d8 and Ni 3d9 configurations, and the data are consistent with a direct allowed transition at the band edge that is assigned to O 2p6 → Ni 3d9. Comparison with the X.p.e.s. spectrum and the known position of the O 2p6 band edge in other transition-metal oxides leads to a suggested Ni 3d8-O 2p6 band-edge separation of ca. 1.4 eV. The very low efficiencies found for NiO can be understood only if the minority-carrier diffusion length becomes comparable with the semiconductor Debye length. The very low ratio of free carriers to trapped holes in NiO is shown to make this material impractical for solar-energy devices.

James Itana, MenEngage Namibia's co-ordinator, participated in a unique event hosted by the Office of the First Lady, Monica Geingos and daily newspaper, Southern Times, with the theme "Fathers in today's context". The main aim of the event was to sensitise Namibian men on the importance of challenging harmful gender stereotypes.
More than 2 600 Tanzanian girls and young women stand to benefit from a three-year ambitious project aimed at protecting their rights and rooting out archaic cultural practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM) and "child marriage". The project is run by the Foundation for Civil Society (FCS) and the Children's Dignity Forum (CDF), the Secretariat for MenEngage Tanzania.
On World Patient Safety Day, 9th December 2016, we reaffirmed our opposition to all forms of female genital mutilation (FGM). FGM, a practice steeped in "cultural" and "religious" beliefs, continues to hurt and violate girls and women in many parts of the world.
Our partners in the Kingdom of Lesotho hosted a multi-faceted advocacy campaign in the village of Ha Ramorakane, western Lesotho, to re-enforce awareness around eliminating gender-based violence and child marriages during last year's 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children.
In Kenya, our partners tested 300 United Nations staff and hundreds more community members and at-risk population groups during the last 16 Days campaign. It was also found that HIV-related stigma is still rife.
MenEngage Africa Alliance's manager, Itumeleng Komanyane, participated in an important regional United Nations consultation with development agencies and civil society groups on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Michael Jackson – a University of Dar es Salaam graduate – has joined the Secretariat of MenEngage Tanzania, Children's Dignity Forum (CDF), as Communications, Partnerships and Advocacy Officer – a role in which he will also be responsible for co-ordinating the activities of MenEngage Tanzania.
We are proud and excited to announce SAfAIDS as the new Secretariat for MenEngage Zimbabwe. SAfAIDS takes over from Padare who have done great work leading the Zimbabwe network over the last couple of years.
Engaging men and boys as partners – not as causes of the problem – can only work to the advantage of strengthening the effectiveness of efforts to address HIV in our relationships, families, communities and societies.

The Morning Brew for March 21: Villanova to the Sweet 16
https://vine.co/v/idtWJg5Famx
Villanova is heading to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2009. They absolutely dominated an Iowa team that in all likelihood shouldn't have been playing them after Adam Woodbury blatantly pushed off Mike Gesell to put in a buzzer-beating shot. And nobody can say that he didn't:
Iowa! https://t.co/lDamGixJx1
— Joe Fleming (@ByJoeFleming) March 18, 2016
St. Joe's lost a heartbreaker to number one seed Oregon, but it wasn't nearly the type of game anyone expected. St. Joe's had Oregon down for the count and let them back up and then decided to play some pretty bad basketball at the worst part of the game, and wound up losing. There's not much to say here other than St. Joe's pretty much gave the game away. They should've won. They gave Oregon the opportunity to get back in the game. They had a 7 point lead with minutes left. Then they got tight and turned the ball over way too many times.
It's just infuriating. Would anyone have expected them to win? No. But that doesn't make it any better. Like, at all. It makes it even more heartbreaking. But, "That's Philly," am I right, Cliff Lee?
Temple, in all likelihood, would have been gashed by Villanova just like Iowa was, but at least it would have been cool to see a Philly vs. Philly matchup.
We'll have a recap of each of their respective games a little bit later.

Here's video of the incident:
We couldn't really see it from the field. The guys were saying that his nose was gushing blood and it really hadn't stopped when he came in here," Elmore said in the clubhouse.
"They said it just ticked the side of his helmet and got his cheek area. You know that the sound is different. That slap against the flesh. That's when you know it's not good," he said.

I might or might not be in the majority in this, but Adam LaRoche retiring because his son couldn't be by his side on and off the field is just weird. And what's even weirder is that MLB clubs agreed to an apparently stipulation that Drake LaRoche must be allowed to do whatever he wants at all times.
Now, certain players have said Drake was never in the way and his involvement was never a problem. So, did the White Sox just decide this, three weeks into spring training, out of nowhere? I doubt it. Anyway, the fact this story got so blown up is ridiculous.
The Flyers hit a wall on Saturday and were completely dominated by the Penguins. Not something many people around here was looking forward to. They still have two games left against the Penguins and one against the Red Wings, so it isn't over by a long shot. But Saturday's game – one of the Flyers' worst of the season – could have some damaging effects down the stretch.

Everyone should hate Notre Dame for this ending yesterday. And guess who visited the locker room after the game? Our favorite terrible politician, Chris Christie. [Washington Post]
But this time, the New Jersey governor has a pretty good excuse. Not only does his daughter Sarah attend that university, she's apparently a student manager for the men's basketball team. In addition, he is close with Irish head coach Mike Brey.
On the other hand, not only does Christie love the Cowboys, but he's also the most prominent politician who has come out strongly in support of Donald Trump. So, yeah, shameless front-runner.

Gawker was ordered to pay Hulk Hogan $115 million in damages after a Florida jury decided the website posting a sex tape of him from years ago was a little too much of an invasion of privacy. Gawker's expected to appeal the decision.
But that's not all. Punitive damages leveed against Gawker could inflate Hogan's settlement a lot more.
The jury will decide next week how much to tack on by way of punitive damages, which are designed to punish defendants for intentional wrongdoing.
The Florida Supreme Court generally tolerates punitive damage awards that are 2 to 3 times the amount of compensatory damages. Anything more than 3 times is dicey … the Court often slices excessive judgments down to size.
But 3 times compensatory damages would be a whopping $345 million, added to the $115 mil compensatory judgment, that would give Hulk a grand total of $460 million.
Richard Sherman on Roger Goodell's proposed rule change to eject players who accumulate two personal fouls:
But it sounds like something somebody who's never played the game would say, something that they would suggest, because he doesn't understand. He's just a face. He's just a suit. He's never stepped foot on the field and understood how you can get a personal foul.

What was your assessment of the fund manager's actions in this week's case (9 April)? Check out the analysis below.
As an investment manager, it is important to determine whether you can act information you receive, but do you know what kind of questions to ask to be sure you do not misstep ethically?
Robles, a fund manager, visits the main manufacturing plant of a large international cement company. During his visit, the management of the company discloses that the company has purchased additional land and resources at this location that can easily be put to use for low-cost expansion in the future. Management claims that the expansion would result in a capital cost per unit of production nearly 30% cheaper than industry norms. Management tells Robles "confidentially" that the company may consider expansion when the global economic climate improves sufficiently to boost demand for their product. Based on this information, Robles buys stock in the cement company for the fund he manages. Did Robles act unethically? Choose your response and join the conversation to explain your choice.
Yes because Robles traded based on material nonpublic information.
CFA Institute Standard II(A): Material Nonpublic Information prohibits members who are in possession of material nonpublic information that could affect the value of an investment from acting on that information. Information is material if it would significantly alter the total mix of information currently available in such a way that the price of the security would be affected. The nature, specificity, exclusivity, and reliability of the source of the information helps determine materiality. Information is nonpublic until it has been disseminated or is available to the marketplace in general. There are three pieces of information that are described in the case that are relevant to Robles's decision to trade: (1) the purchase of excess land and resources at the site of the company's main plant, (2) the calculation that using this additional capacity would reduce the company's production costs to less than industry norms, and (3) the company's expansion plans. Are any of these three pieces of information material nonpublic information?
The first piece of information about acquiring additional production assets would likely be considered material. But it is not clear when the purchase occurred. Was it recent? Is the purchase in the public record? It is possible that the purchase is already publicly known, and the management's disclosure to Robles is nothing new. It is also possible that the purchase just occurred or is imminent and has not been announced publicly, which would make the information nonpublic. The second piece of information about being to produce at much lower costs would be material information. But it is unclear whether this information is known only to the company. Certainly, confidential proprietary manufacturing cost calculations would be nonpublic, but astute analysts with knowledge of the industry may be able to easily make this type of evaluation. In that case, the information may not be confidential. Finally the third piece about the company's expansion plans are very likely to affect the price of the company's stock and would thus be material information. But again, the information is not specific enough. Management tells Robles that the company "may consider" expansion when the global economic conditions "improve sufficiently." The possibility that the company "may consider" expanding is vague and ambiguous. When the economy "improves sufficiently" is also subjective and indefinite. Even if this information is disclosed "confidentially" only to Robles and is not publicly available, it is not clear that general plans about possible expansion at some unknown point in the future rises to the level of material information.
In sum, a portion of the information disclosed to Robles by company management has the potential to be material. It is unclear from the facts of the case that the information is nonpublic. An argument could be made either way. We would need more information to make a determination about whether Robles violated the prohibition against trading on material nonpublic information.
The facts for this case were submitted by Shreenivas Kunte, CFA Institute Director of Continuing Education and Advocacy, India, Asia-Pacific Region.
Robles does not violate the standard regarding material nonpublic information. The information received from the management is not considered to be material information since the claim from management lacks of evidences to support that the expansion will enhance the shareholder's value. It is based on only the anticipation of management which might ultimately appear to be wrong.
The first part of the information could be actually material but, lacking some more details in the text of the case, one should assume that it is already public (acquiring land should be registered with authorities). The improvement in costs should be generally assumed modelling the production expansion while the "confidential" information on when to scale up production is so vague that it is probably non-material, even if the source of the information is reliable (insiders of the company). Given the description of the case, I am inclined to choose answer B.

Q: How to delete or reset a search index in Appengine The Situation
Alright, so we have our app in appengine with full text search activated. We had an index set on a document with a field named 'date'. This field is a DateField and now we changed the model of the document so the field 'date' is now a NumericField.
The problem is, on the production server, even if I cleared all the document from the index, the server responds with this type of error: Failed to parse search request ""; SortSpec numeric default value does not match expression type 'TEXT' in 'date'
The Solution
The problem is, "I think", the fact that the model on the server doesn't fit the model of the search query. So basically, one way to do it, would be to delete the whole index, but I don't know how to do it on the production server.
The dev server works flawlessly

A: If you empty out your index and call index.delete_schema() (index.deleteSchema() in Java) it will clear the mappings that we have from field name to type, and you can index your new documents as expected. Thanks!

Bicycle touring Kazakhstan in November and December was chilly and special. We only crossed a corner of this huge country. The country that is known for the movie Borat and the pro-cycling team Astana, and got a good impression. We entered Kazakhstan on the 26th of November and left the country on the 16th of December.

Salem County votes to cut freeholder board from 7 to 5 members
By Bill Gallo Jr. | For NJ.com

A bag containing cartridges from voting machines in Salem County arrive at the Board of Elections Office in Salem on Tuesday night. (Bill Gallo Jr. | For NJ.com)
SALEM -- Salem County residents Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to cut the membership of the freeholder board from seven to five.
The result means that at the next election, November 2017, a new five-seat board will be elected.
The vote was 21,942 to 7,013 in favor of the referendum.
Also on the ballot was a second question dealing with the freeholders, asking whether their salaries should be cut by 20 percent.
That question was approved by a vote of 22,272 to 6,543.
The two referendums made it to the fall ballot thanks to a grassroots petition drive that began after the county considered outsourcing jobs as a way to balance the 2016 budget.
That privatization plan was dropped, but petition organizers continued with their efforts, saying they felt it was time to look at the cost of a seven-member freeholders board to taxpayers.
Freeholders in Salem County currently earn $25,410. The director gets an extra $1,000 per year. Statewide, freeholder salaries range from over $40,000 to just above $10,000.
Throughout New Jersey, the number of freeholders varies in each county from three to nine.
The referendum to cut the freeholder board membership is binding. The question on cutting their salaries is a non-binding question.
The results reported Tuesday night include ballots cast at the polls and mail-in ballots. They do not include provisional votes.
All election results are unofficial until certified.

John Escreet 'Sabotage and Celebration' (Whirlwind) 4/5
4th November 2013 ukvibe
UK born, but New York resident since 2006, pianist and composer John Escreet has quickly established a reputation for music on the edges and this latest set, following on from the 2011 album 'The age we live in' will not disappoint. What is impressive here is the post-bop approach that incorporates big band orchestrations alongside strings, and in the recording sound this has something of a 1970s retro feel to it. The quintet includes saxophonists Chris Potter and David Binney, the latter of whom makes a lengthier appearance on the debut album by Mick Coady's Synergy, another Jellymould release. The album is characterised by a combination of off-beat rhythms and free improvisational influences as on the staccato rhythm of the trio-led 'The Decapitator' which is on the surface a quiet reflective piece, yet still unsettling underneath, or on the explosion of brass that predominates on the title track. Elsewhere there is lyricism on 'Laura Angela' and even a neo-bop theme undercurrent on 'He who dares' with a fine tenor solo by Potter. The album title is actually a reference to both the US Presidential triumph of Barack Obama and hurricane Sandy. Tim Stenhouse

Q: Jest-mock-axios mock interceptors I have the following axios file:
    /* eslint-disable no-param-reassign */
import axios from 'axios';
import { baseURL } from './apiClient';

export default function authenticatedApiClient(jwt: string) {
  const apiClient = axios.create({
    baseURL,
  });

  apiClient.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
    config.headers = config.headers || {};
    config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${jwt}`;
    return config;
  });

  return apiClient;
}

And the following test:
   import React from 'react';
import {
  act, render, screen,
} from '@testing-library/react';
import mockAxios from 'jest-mock-axios';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { AppProvider } from '../common/AppProvider';
import DisplayEditProfileForm from '.';

test('should render edit user profile form', async () => {
  const user = {
    username: 'admin',
    email: 'ad@ad.com',
  };
  act(() => {
    mockAxios.get.mockResolvedValueOnce({ data: user });
  });

  render(
    <BrowserRouter>
      <AppProvider>
        <DisplayEditProfileForm />
      </AppProvider>
    </BrowserRouter>,
  );

  const usernameInputLabel = screen.getByText(/Username/i);
  expect(usernameInputLabel).toBeInTheDocument();

  const emailInputLabel = screen.getByText(/Email/i);
  expect(emailInputLabel).toBeInTheDocument();

  const passwordConfirmationInputLabel = screen.getByText(/Password confirmation/i);
  expect(passwordConfirmationInputLabel).toBeInTheDocument();
});

We have recently implemented the interceptors, and now my tests throw the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'get')

So how can i mock the interceptors? Could someone provide me with a example?
I have also tried this approach with the same results:
act(() => {
    jest.mock('axios', () => ({
      create: jest.fn(() => ({
        get: jest.fn(),
        interceptors: {
          request: { use: jest.fn(), eject: jest.fn() },
          response: { use: jest.fn(), eject: jest.fn() },
        },
      })),
    }));
    const mockedAxios = axios as jest.Mocked<typeof axios>;

    mockedAxios.get.mockResolvedValueOnce({ data: [{ user }] });
  });

A: Axios is a singleton, meaning that you have a single instance wherever you import it.
It means that if we include it in our tests, it will be the same instance as in the code you are trying to test.
So if you'd import axios in your test code:
import axios from 'axios';

You would have a single axios instance in your component and tests. And you would be able to do anything with it, mocking and stubbing included.
You could mock it with jest with:
jest.mock("axios");

I found a bit of more info on mocking axios with jest here.


Roasted potatoes are always a safe bet when you are in charge of bringing the side dish. The best part about these potatoes is the prep time is only a few minutes. The hardest part is mincing the garlic! The hints of lemon and rosemary that come with each bite are the perfect addition to your next summer dish.
Place potatoes in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and rosemary; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished wit lemon zest, parsley and rosemary, if desired.


Does EAB kill all trees?
No. EAB only attacks true ash trees in the Fraxinus genus such as Green Ash, Black Ash and White Ash, Mountain Ash (genus Sorbus) is not a true ash and is not attacked by EAB.
Is my tree an Ash Tree?
How do I know if my tree is infested by EAB?
If your tree is an ash tree, it is vulnerable to EAB and will likely become infested. The signs of an early EAB infestation can be difficult to see. As the infestation grows (and greater harm is caused to the tree), the signs become more visible.
You are NOT likely to see an adult EAB (beetle). However, you may see an EAB larva if you look beneath the bark of an infested ash tree.
If you value your ash tree, the best course of action is to protect the tree from infestation instead of waiting to see if it becomes infested.
How does EAB kill ash trees?
EAB larva (immature beetle) eat the inner bark of an ash tree, essentially eating away the tree's circulatory system for transporting food and water. The inner bark does not grow back. Within 2 to 5 years of infestation the tree dies from lack of food and water. The amount of time it takes for an ash tree to die from an EAB infestation depends on the size of the tree and the size of the infestation.
If an ash tree has EAB, can it be saved?
An EAB-infested ash tree may be saved if the infestation is caught early (within the first couple of years of infestation) and the tree is otherwise healthy. However, once an infested ash tree has lost about 30% or more of its leaf canopy, it has become very compromised and is unlikely to survive even with treatment. Depending on the size and health of an ash tree, it may take anywhere between 2 to 5 years for a tree to die from an EAB infestation.
What can I do to protect my ash trees?
A pesticide treatment is the only reliable way to protect your ash tree from an EAB infestation. And a pesticide treatment may save an otherwise healthy tree with a mild EAB infestation.
For general health, you should also keep your ash tree properly watered and pruned (but avoid pruning during the EAB active season May 2 to September 30).
Who can perform the pesticide treatment?
For private trees, the City-allowed methods include trunk injection (recommended), soil injection, spraying, and soil drenching. However, soil drenching is not allowed for boulevard (right-of-way) trees and is not recommended for private trees because of environmental concerns.
While some pesticides are sold at retail locations, others may only be purchased and applied by a state-licensed commercial pesticide applicator. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) recommends that property owners ask to see an applicator's identification card and verify that the license is current and includes turf and ornamental licensure before allowing any application work on their property. Property owners may also contact the MDA at (651) 201-6615 to verify proper licensing. You can also check the MDA Online Licensing System.
Also, any individual or company hired to do tree work (including pesticide work) in Burnsville, must be a City-licensed tree contractor. Find the list (PDF).
How much does the pesticide treatment cost?
The cost of treatment to protect an ash tree from EAB varies based upon pesticide, application method and tree size. Typical cost can range anywhere from $50 to $200, and some treatments last two years or more. Burnsville residents may take advantage of City contract pricing for EAB treatment for ash trees. Visit the main EAB page for more info.
How can I select a good tree care company?
Avoid door-to-door salesman and stick with reputable, established firms. The City of Burnsville maintains a List of Licensed Tree Contractors that have been evaluated for proper liability insurance levels and have an ISA-Certified Arborist on staff. If you're hiring a company to treat your ash tree, make sure that they have a valid commercial pesticide applicator license from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
Should I be planting or removing ash trees?
Because of the overabundance of ash in urban landscapes and other sites, it is strongly recommended not to plant additional ash. However, if you have an ash in your yard and it is healthy, it is not necessary to remove it. Instead, consider planting a tree adjacent to your existing ash to avoid a drastic loss of shade if and when your ash tree must be removed. Burnsville maintains a list of recommended tree species (PDF).
What is the City doing about EAB?
In April 2013, Burnsville's City Council approved an Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan (PDF) that dedicates $3.5 million over 10 years to help protect good quality ash trees on public property, to remove others that become infested, and to plant new trees of different species to diversify our urban forest.
Ash trees in unmanicured woodland areas of parks will not be treated against EAB or removed unless necessary for safety reasons. Trees on private property will not be part of the City's treatment or removal plan.
What else can I do to help prevent the spread of EAB?
Adult (beetle) Emerald Ash Borers typically only fly short distances of about one-quarter mile, so the natural spread of the destructive insect is slow. However, humans have helped EAB spread by moving infected firewood and other wood products from an infested site. Do not move firewood—even if you intend to burn it promptly. The insects can escape from the wood quickly and infect new sites. The best prevention is to keep EAB contained.
What are those Purple Boxes?
Residents may notice purple EAB traps hanging from ash trees in local parks. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture places these boxes to help with detection of new EAB infestations. The three-sided traps give off a scent that attracts nearby EAB beetles -- when the beetles land on the trap, they become stuck. The earlier an EAB infestation is identified, the better chance we have of eliminating that infestation.


Should I register for VAT voluntarily?
VAT registration can give your business the status of size and reputability. The very fact that you are not VAT registered advertises that your turnover is less than £82,000!
If most of your customers are VAT registered then they would be commercially neutral to your VAT registration. This is because you are no more expensive than a competitor that is not VAT registered as they can claim back your VAT anyway.
You may need to charge more if you can't reclaim the VAT on your expenses, with higher costs you may need to be charge more than a VAT registered competitor.
You can backdate a VAT claim for purchases made before VAT registration. The time limit is 6 months for services and 4 years for goods that you still have or that were used to make goods you still have.
You will be better off as you are simply acting as a tax collector for HMRC ie you charge 20% on everything you sell and pay it over to HMRC. But, you are then allowed to claim VAT on any business expenses that you have incurred. This is how you benefit.
You will have to file VAT returns and pay your VAT every quarter by a certain date.
You are voluntarily introducing another tax to your business with all the deadlines, associated penalties, and the possibility of HMRC checks that go with that.
You may not want, or feel able to complete the VAT returns yourself without professional help. If you decide that you need help then the professional fees that you will incur will eat in to the savings that you benefit from by being VAT registered.

FBI Searching For Female Suspects In Redding Mom's Bizarre Kidnapping
Filed Under:Abduction, Crime, Kidnapping, Redding, Sherri Papini, Yolo County
REDDING (CBS SF) — Sketches of two masked female suspects were released Wednesday in the November 2016 abduction of a Redding mom who was found bound in restraints and branded on the side of Highway 5 in Yolo County.
Sherri Papini was reported missing by her husband, Keith, on Nov. 2nd triggering a massive search by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. She was found on Thanksgiving Day by a trucker travelling northbound on Interstate 5 who saw her on the side of the highway in Yolo County and stopped to assist.
Listen To Keith Papini's 911 call
She told investigators that she had been dropped off on the side of County Road 17 near Interstate 5 by one of her captors whom she described as a younger Hispanic female.
Sherri Papini was taken to Woodland Memorial Hospital where evidence was collected. Photos were taken of her injuries and swabs taken for DNA analysis. She appeared battered and bruised, her hair had been cut to shoulder length and she had a brand on her right shoulder.
Investigators said more than 20 search warrants were executed in the effort to determine Sherri's whereabouts. The Sheriff's Office also conducted a polygraph exam of Keith Papini and excluded him from involvement in his wife's disappearance.
In a review of evidence, the Sheriff's Office discovered Sherri was texting with a male acquaintance from Michigan. Days prior to Sherri's disappearance, Sherri and the male acquaintance texted each in an attempt to meet while the he was in California. Detectives interviewed him in Michigan and determined he was not involved in Sherri's disappearance.
The Sheriff's Office continues to examine the brand and its possible meaning, but details of the brand remain confidential as part of the on-going investigation.
The only two people Sherri had contact with during her 22 days of captivity were two women who wore face coverings. She described the suspects as:
Suspect #1: younger adult Hispanic female, dark curly hair, pierced ears, thin eye brows.
Suspect#2: older adult Hispanic female, straight black hair with some grey. Thick eye brows
Keith and Sherri Papini have remained in contact with the Sheriff's Office and the FBI. Sherri, continues to provide details as she can recall them, but has not been able to provide a complete detailed statement due to her poor recollection.
Anyone with information about the location where Sherri was held, the suspect vehicle and/or identities of the two suspects are urged to contact the FBI at 916-746-7000 (select option 1), online at tips.fbi.gov or your local FBI office. A reward up to $10,000.00 has been established for information leading to the identification of the suspects.

A més, posseeixen una banda submarginal negra a l'aleta dorsal i els radis de la caudal blaus amb les membranes de color groguenc o marronós. Abans fou descrit com una subespècie de Tropheops tropheops.

Reproducció
El mascle reproductor és territorial i excava un cau entre les roques per a fer-hi un niu, el qual defensarà dels intrusos. La femella hi entra i en surt amb la boca plena d'ous, els quals seran covats durant 25 dies. Els ous fan la desclosa en menys d'1 setmana.

Alimentació
Es nodreix d'algues i invertebrats. El seu nivell tròfic és de 2.

Hàbitat i distribució geogràfica
És un peix d'aigua dolça, demersal (entre 10 i 25 m de fondària, però també se li pot veure en aigües menys fondes) i de clima tropical (23 °C-27 °C; 8°S-15°S), el qual viu a l'Àfrica sud-oriental: és un endemisme dels fons rocallosos i rics en sediments del sud del llac Malawi a Malawi, Tanzània i Moçambic.

Observacions
És inofensiu per als humans, el seu índex de vulnerabilitat és baix (13 de 100)., forma part del comerç internacional de peixos ornamentals i les seues principals amenaces són la sedimentació del seu hàbitat, la sobrepesca i el seu àmbit geogràfic tan restringit (tot i que, la seua major part es troba dins del Parc Nacional del llac Malawi).

We're Head Over Heels for the LGBTQ+ Models in the Moschino x H&M Campaign
From Aquaria to Teddy Quinlivan to MJ Rodriguez, Jeremy Scott's cast is full of LGBTQ+ icons.
Marcus Mam
Every year for the past 14 years, popular Swedish brand H&M has partnered with an outside designer to create a special edition capsule collection. Each of these designers — most of whom are established within the industry and present their seasonal runway collections during the selective European fashion weeks — bring their signature style with them, helping to boost H&M's profile while also providing fashion fans the opportunity to buy high-fashion pieces at fast-fashion prices. Isabel Marant gave us chic French regality while Alexander Wang settled on forward-thinking sportswear; Comme des Garçons and Maison Martin Margiela both beefed up their collections with plenty of brand-specific trinkets; and Versace and Balmain both delivered on their trademark aesthetic of loud prints and leather.
This year, H&M tapped Moschino's Jeremy Scott, an American designer whose rebellious aesthetic is instantly recognizable to fashion obsessives. As the creative director of Moschino and the owner of his namesake label, Scott's penchant for color and imaginative streetwear has made him the ideal longtime collaborator for Adidas. Now, Scott is ready to bring his uninhibited sense of playfulness to a new retailer.
Taking just one look at the official campaign lookbook for his new collaboration with H&M, which was unveiled on Vogue several days ago, it's clear that Scott is having fun with this collection. Logos appear on almost everything — and as part of a long-term Jeremy Scott tradition, famous cartoon characters (this time, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Daffy, Goofy, and the rest of the gang) are reimagined and screen-printed onto T-shirts, jackets, and sweatshirts. The clothes are young and fun, which makes sense given his claim to British Vogue last week that he "started [designing this collection] with the thought of how to make it the most Jeremy Scott for Moschino collection ever." (A ringer T-shirt that simply reads H&MOSCHINO is precisely the tongue-in-cheek play on words that design fans of Scott's expect from this collection.)
All in all, it's a collection designed with the youth in mind — something that has always defined Scott's vision, and something we can see quite clearly in the casting for the accompanying campaign, which features a slew of familiar faces. In a statement, Scott said, "Whenever I design, I think about my friends." He wanted the lookbook to reflect that by "celebrating the fun, the pop, the creativity and the energy of the people" around him. So, naturally, he cast those friends. Along with model, actress, and Teen Vogue favorite Barbie Ferreira, the campaign also stars RuPaul's Drag Race season 10 winner Aquaria, MJ Rodriguez from Pose, model and 2018 Queero Teddy Quinlivan, musical duo Amiaya, and queer models like Dilone, Louis Bubko, and Keon Smith.
When asked about her experience working with Scott, Quinlivan says, "Jeremy is absolutely one of my favorite people I've gotten to know throughout my years modeling." After coming out as transgender last year, Quinlivan — who has traveled the world walking the runways of Louis Vuitton and Versace — has thankfully only seen her career continue to flourish. "I have so much admiration for his commitment to diversity and inclusivity, his rebellious spirit, and his beautiful heart," Quinlivan tells me, applauding the "revolutionary designer and risk taker" for always "remaining true to his vision and refusing to compromise or pander to a pretentious fashion audience." All in all, she says, "I'm so proud to work with someone I have the privilege of calling a friend."
Louis Bubko, a rising model based in New York, feels similarly. "I've loved Jeremy and his work since I was young, so anytime I get the opportunity to work with him, it's unreal," he tells me. Though this isn't the young model's first time working with Scott and his team, he feels that this instance was special simply because "it is a collaboration with such a huge company." When he was first asked to take part in the campaign, he recalls being extremely excited. "The whole team at Moschino is always the best to work with," he exclaims. "They're all just so down to earth, kind, and fun!"
Aquaria, who was just announced as the latest signee with top modeling agency IMG (as well as the new Entertainment Editor for Dazed Beauty), also appears in the campaign. As evidenced by her fresh modeling contract, the drag queen's ascent in the fashion world after winning season 10 of Drag Race has been swift — and it's something she knows was made possible because of the support she's received from the beginning by industry heavy-hitters like Scott.
Aquaria tells me that Scott "always has so much energy and love and life in everything that he does. He's always extremely enthusiastic when it comes to fashion and performance." The Drag Race winner also admits to relating to the American designer's ability to "always put a fresh spin on a concept." As she tells me, "That's something I think I do with my drag as well, so we're a perfect match."
Though Aquaria, like all of the featured models, was styled by someone else, the drag queen feels honored that she was "given pretty much free reign when it came to my hair and makeup." "It's always fantastic to see representation in major international campaigns from people of all genders, races, abilities, and ages — so to be in full drag for the H&M campaign is very empowering," she says, before adding that she is "grateful that my artistry is being respected in such a professional way."
Diverse campaigns like H&M x Moschino are still too few and far between, but it's comforting to know that designers like Jeremy Scott exist and are willing to help push us in the right direction. If a brand as omnipresent as H&M can cast a campaign full of LGBTQ+ talent, why can't everyone else?

Ayew Hits Back At West Ham After Swansea Switch
/ Football/Soccer, Sports
Contrary to calls of being a flop, the Ghanaian says he was the "most efficient" at London Stadium.
Andre Ayew may have been tagged a "failure" at West Ham United following a £20.5 million move to the club in 2016, but after ending their relationship on Wednesday, the Ghanaian considers himself one of the best at the club during his time there.
The attacker completed a reported £18 m club record switch to Swansea City on transfer Deadline Day (Wednesday) following limited opportunities with the Hammers.
With a total of 43 league appearances for David Moyes's outfit, involving 25 starts and nine goals, the Black Star left London Stadium with a label of 'underperformer', considering his blistering form before joining the club.
"As soon as I moved to West Ham, I got injured for a long time and then I went to the African Cup of Nations," Ayew explains to Swans TV .
"But when I look at my statistics and my time from August until now, I think I am one of the most efficient players, if not the most efficient.
"I am not one of the players who played the most games, but I have no regrets.
"Things could have been much better if I had not got the injuries or if I'd played more games.
"But when I look at my statistics and those of others who play in my position and had more game-time than me, I don't have to envy anyone."
Back at Swansea, same club he left for West Ham, he makes a reunion with younger brother Jordan, with whom he played at Marseille in France.
"We have played together at Marseille and with the national team," the Ghana international said.
"Now it's happening again. I am happy that Jordan is in the squad here – he has progressed a lot and he is playing really well.
"Jordan has had a run of games and his confidence level is really high. That's important in football.
"He has to keep things going and now I am also here, we hope we can do a great job for the team."
During his first spell in 2015-16, Ayew netted 12 goals in 34 league outings, finishing the season as Swansea's top scorer.

Marcus West, son of Simeon West, built the Princess Theater in 1916. Architect Arthur L. Pillsbury designed the brick theater with limestone accents. The first movie was "Tennessee's Partner" on November 21, 1916. The original theater was a silent movie house with piano accompaniment, as "talkies" did not make their debut in LeRoy until 1931. A grandson of Marcus West recounts that West's daughter, while in high school, substituted as piano player when the regular player was unable to accompany the film.
Karen Edwards operated the theater during the 1970s. John Graham purchased the Princess during 1977; Graham e-mailed "I noticed on the Princess website that you are displaying the old MotioGraph projector in the lobby. I rebuilt that thing one time (the intermittent movement). Quite a thing." After three years,in 1980, Graham sold the Princess to Maurice Schiff of Urbana. In 1984, Scott Graham, no relation to John Graham, bought the theatre from Mr. Schiff. With his experience from owning two other theatres, Mr. Graham had big plans to renovate the Princess by using a medieval/tudor type look, even including a wrought iron chandelier in the main lobby. His renovations began and even got him electrocuted, but unforeseen circumstances led to Mr. Graham having to sell the theatre.
In October of 2003, the Princess was purchased by David A. Kraft and Kris and Susan Spaulding. After 10 months of renovation and remodel, the theater re-opened on August 6, 2004 with Disney's "Around the World in 80 Days". The Princess was awarded a Heritage Award from the Preservation And Conservation Association for the renovation. With both families living outside of LeRoy, the commute proved to be too much and the theatre closed in November 2006 only to be reopened less than a month later.
Michael E. Hanafin purchased the theatre from Kraft and Spaulding in December 2006. He and his family regularly attended movies there and did not want to see the theatre close down again because it was such a huge asset to the community . Hanafin finished renovating the exterior of the building and finished some minor remodeling on the interior of the building. Ben Slotky, former owner of the Castle Theatre in Bloomington, IL, was hired to manage the theatre for Hanafin until Septemer of 2007 when the Hanafin family decided to run the theatre on their own.
Mike's whole family takes part in the operation of the facility with his wife Gail running the ticket booth and tending to the birthday parties and free movies. His three daughters, Christie Mash, Dawn Hanafin and Heather Wilkins all serve as the projectionists, film bookers, concession managers and event planners, all dealing with the general operations of the theatre. Hanafin has four grandchildren, Abbi, Mikey, Morgan and Hunter, who all have their specific duties to perform at the end of each showing. They plan to have the theatre in the family for a very long time.
In 1937 Mr. & Mrs. John L. Frieburg, Sr. purchased the Princess Theatre from a Mr. Woods and began remodeling. They put in 329 new seats, wall coverings and new projection equipment with the very latest sound system. The lobby was repainted, new flooring and large frames for the advertising posters were added. The outside marquee with The Princess Theatre was hung.
The operation of the Princess Theatre was a family business. Mrs. Frieburg sold the tickets at the ticket window. The price of tickets was 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children under 12 years of age. Mr. Frieburg, Sr. collected the tickets until time to start the projectors. He ran the projectors during the show, the movies were known as shows. John L. Frieburg, Jr., known as "Bud" then stepped in taking tickets until time to usher. "Bud" and daughter, Patricia A. Frieburg, "Pat" ushered patrons arriving after the show started to vacant seats. Youngest daughter, Eileen I. Frieburg, stayed with her nanny at the family home on Center Street during the shows.
The theatre was open six nights a week and closed on Tuesday. Three different shows played each week. Short subjects, newsreels and cartoons were shown before the feature. Shows ran Sunday and Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and Friday and Saturday. The show was run twice each night with the first beginning at 7pm and the second at 9pm. As business continued to grow two Sunday afternoon matinees were added at 3pm and 5pm. Ushering was brisk at times with people waiting for a vacant seat. Patrons arriving late would stay into the beginning of the next showing to catch what they had missed. Seating was placed later in the lobby for people awaiting a seat in the auditorium.
The next addition was a candy case in the lobby. Not long after a popcorn machine appeared. No drinks were allowed in the auditorium while the Frieburgs owned the theatre. The water fountain at the front door of the lobby, which was usually busy, provided liquid refreshment. Candy sales were later ended and popcorn was the only available snack. Mr. Frieburg made the popcorn in the lobby before opening the theatre. A box and bag were the two sizes sold. Frequently people stopped in just for popcorn and a visit with the Frieburgs.
Change always enhanced business. The next big excitement was the cash JACKPOT, which was drawn between the Thursday shows. To win the JACKPOT patrons had to attend the Wednesday or Thursday night show. If the person's name which was drawn was not there to claim the money and had not been to the show on Wednesday $10.00 was added to the JACKPOT for the next week. If the JACKPOT was claimed the next week started over at $20.00. TV arrived in the community and big changes were coming in the movie industry.


Korea's history stretches back thousands of years. Its culture is rich, complex, and unique. So before heading off on your exciting Korean adventure, take some time to learn more about Korea and its people. Click here for a quick history lesson. Click here for a quick history lesson.
The Three Kingdoms Period refers to the early 4th to mid-7th centuries A.D. It is marked by the struggle of three rival kingdoms (Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla) over territory spanning the Korean peninsula and part of North-eastern Asia.
An ancient state of the Korean peninsula, Goguryeo occupied the largest territory among the three kingdoms. Founded in 37 B.C., Goguryeo prospered and covered a vast area encompassing the northern part of the Korean peninsula and south-central Manchuria. The kingdom expanded its territory in fierce battles against the Chinese kingdoms, but fell to an alliance of Silla and Tang forces in 668 A.D.
Silla originated in the south-eastern part of the Korean peninsula. The kingdom lasted for 992 years, from 57 B.C. to 935 A.D. This kingdom conquered Baekje and Goguryeo by joining forces with the Tang Empire of China. Following the unification of the three kingdoms, the Tang Empire was no longer seen as an ally, but as an invader. Silla joined forces with the people of Goguryeo and Baekje to drive out the Tang forces. It eventually founded the first unified state of Korea, within the territory south of the Daedonggang River and Wonsanman.
Baekje (18 B.C. – 660 A.D.) was founded by King Onjo, the son of the king of Goguryeo, in the south-western part of the Korean peninsula. The kingdom witnessed the flowering of the elegant and delicate Baekje culture, which in influenced Japanese culture. In 660 A.D., Baekje was defeated by the coalition troops of Silla and Tang of China.
The Goryeo Dynasty was established in 918. Buddhism became the state religion during this time and greatly influenced politics and culture. Famous items produced during this time include Goryeo celadon and the Tripitaka Koreana. Interestingly, the world's first movable metal type was developed in Korea during the Goryeo Dynasty. Jikjisimgyeong, a Buddhist scripture printed using the metal type, is at least 78 years older than the first Gutenberg Bible. The Goryeo Dynasty's strength decreased gradually in the latter half of the 14th century.
The Joseon Dynasty was formed at the end of the 14th century. Confucianism became the state ideology and exerted a massive influence over the whole of society. Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, was invented in 1443 during the reign of King Sejong. The dynasty's power declined as a result of foreign invasions, beginning with the Japanese invasion of 1592.
In the early hours of June 25, 1950, North Korea attempted a forcible unification of North and South Korea by crossing the 38th Parallel and invading South Korea. Military assistance from over 16 nations under the leadership of UN General Douglas MacArthur helped defend South Korea against the threat of communism. China and the Soviet Union lent their military might to North Korea. The war continued over the next three years before coming to an end on July 27, 1953, with a peace agreement signed at Panmunjeom, located in the DMZ. Not only did the war ravage the peninsula, it also heightened hostile feelings between the North and South, making reunification a difficult task.

FDA Approves Cyltezo, the First Interchangeable Biosimilar to Humira
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first interchangeable biosimilar product to treat certain inflammatory diseases. Cyltezo (adalimumab-adbm), originally approved in August 2017, is both biosimilar to, and interchangeable with (may be substituted for), its reference product Humira (adalimumab) for Cyltezo's approved uses. Cyltezo is the second interchangeable biosimilar product approved by the agency and the first interchangeable monoclonal antibody. Once on the market, approved biosimilar and interchangeable biosimilar products can play a role in facilitating access to treatments for many serious health conditions.
"The biosimilar and interchangeable approval pathway was created to help increase access to treatment options for patients with serious medical conditions," said Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock, M.D. "We continue to be steadfast in our commitment to provide patients with alternative high-quality, affordable medications that are proven to be safe and effective."
Cyltezo is approved for the following indications in adult patients:
moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis;
active psoriatic arthritis;
active ankylosing spondylitis (an arthritis that affects the spine);
moderately to severely active Crohn's disease;
moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis; and
moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
Cyltezo is also indicated for moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients two years of age and older, and pediatric patients six years of age or older with Crohn's disease.
Biological products, generally derived from a living organism, include medications for treating many serious illnesses and chronic health conditions. A biosimilar is a biological product that is highly similar to, and has no clinically meaningful differences from, a biological product already approved by the FDA (also called the reference product). Patients can expect the same safety and effectiveness from the biosimilar as they can from the reference product. Interchangeable biosimilar products can be expected to produce the same clinical result as the reference product in any given patient and, for biological products administered more than once to an individual, the risk in terms of safety or diminished efficacy of switching between the two products is not greater than the risk of using the reference product without such switching.

An interchangeable biosimilar product may be substituted for the reference product without the prescriber having to change the prescription. The substitution may occur at the pharmacy, subject to state pharmacy laws which vary by state, a practice commonly called "pharmacy-level substitution" — similar to how generic drugs are substituted for brand name drugs. Biosimilar and interchangeable biosimilar products may cost less than the brand-name medicine.
Cyltezo, offered in a single-dose, pre-filled glass syringe (40 mg/0.8 mL, 20 mg/0.4 mL), is administered subcutaneously (under the skin) under the guidance of a physician. The most serious known side effects with Cyltezo are infections and malignancies (cancers). The most common expected adverse reactions are upper respiratory and sinus infections, injection site reactions, headache and rash.
Like Humira, the labeling for Cyltezo contains a boxed warning to alert health care professionals and patients about an increased risk of serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. The boxed warning also notes that lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with tumor necrosis factor blockers, including adalimumab products. The drug must be dispensed with a patient Medication Guide that describes important information about its uses and risks.
The FDA granted approval of Cyltezo to Boehringer Ingelheim on October 15, 2021.

holding his gun belt and holster.
Last month the National Law Enforcement Museum received a fascinating artifact from a law enforcement survivor whose grandfather was added to the Memorial wall in 2015. Jenny Cooper donated the belt and holster worn by her grandfather, Virginia State Prohibition Inspector James S. Mullins, when he was killed in the line of duty in Clintwood, Virginia.
On August 6, 1926, Inspector Mullins stood outside the Dickenson County, VA, courthouse discussing a warrant with colleagues E.J. Sutherland, the Commonwealth's Attorney for Dickenson County, and Miles Sykes, the Justice of the Peace. According to official eyewitness testimony of both of these men, Inspector Mullins was approached and shot three times by Dickenson County Sheriff, Pridemore Fleming.
Mullins fumbled for his gun with his left hand (he had previously lost his right hand), and returned fire killing Fleming. Mullins died of his own injuries two days later. Sheriff Fleming was known for violating prohibition laws, and he and Mullins had a history of not getting along. According to Sutherland's testimony, Fleming seemed to be under the influence of alcohol during the shootout.
Ms. Cooper believes that the hole visible in Inspector Mullins's holster is from one of the bullets that ultimately killed him.

NASA already unveiled a successor to James Webb that will search for life on alien planets
By Joshua Hawkins
Image: dottedyeti / Adobe
The James Webb space telescope has only been active for six months, but NASA is already planning a successor to the multi-billion-dollar observatory. The Habitable Worlds Observatory won't be the first telescope that NASA launches after Webb, as the Nancy Grace Roman Observatory is already set for a 2027 launch. Still, it will continue NASA's mission to find life on alien planets.
The Habitable Worlds Observatory is part of an initiative to reboot NASA's Great Observatories program, which launched the Hubble space telescope and several others throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. The proposal was part of a report that said an $11 billion, 6-meter telescope that could detect signs of life on 25 nearby planets should kickstart the rebooted program.
Image source: Vadimsadovski / Adobe
NASA shared news of the proposal at this year's American Astronomical Society Meeting, which took place in early January. The telescope is set to include a powerful coronograph, which would protect it from the sun's light, allowing it to study faint objects that we can't study otherwise. There is currently no timeline for the building and deployment of the Habitable Worlds Observatory. (via Science.org)
The goal of the new telescope is to send it to a point known as the second Lagrange Point, a point known as L2. This region of space is located a million miles from Earth and is opposite the sun. The Lagrange Points are points in space where the gravity from the Earth and the sun cancel each other out, allowing the Habitable Worlds Observatory to float idly in space.
Plans to send other space missions, like MIT's space bubbles which could help combat climate change, would also rely on these Lagrange Points because of their more subdued gravity. Full details of what the Habitable Worlds Observatory would include aren't readily available yet, and the telescope's design is sure to change as NASA engineers bring everything together.
But, it is intriguing to see NASA already looking forward to its next big successor to the James Webb, especially as the newer telescope continues to deliver shocking revelations about the space beyond our planet's atmosphere, including details about the early universe.

We are delighted Jut Group Lecture hall, designed by MVRDV in collaboration with artist Alexandra Kehayoglou won the jury prize for 'Best Craftsmanship' in this year's inaugural Frame Awards.
MVRDV's transformation of Jut Group's new 240m2lecture hall takes into consideration that although it is a functional space for talks and events, it is also a public installation with an inviting, comfortable and attractive carpeted landscape. It takes the form of public architecture through an unconventional design inspired by the natural landscape. Kehayoglou was perfect for this project because of her commitment to craftsmanship. Her pieces are the result of a laborious hand-tufting process that achieves to mimic natural textures such as moss, water, trees and pastures. The carpets can transform an entire room - as seen in this lecture hall - and echoes a green landscape.
