PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. Internal employees often resent being assigned additional work. For this reason, employees who are asked to tackle unexpected IT tasks frequently lack focus; they may let deadlines fly by. Professional IT outsourcing firms, on the other hand, are more likely to provide polite, timely, and effective service because the survival of their business relies on providing excellent IT outsourcing service.
INCREASED EFFICIENCY. Just because you already have a staffer who could probably handle that IT project doesn't mean that IT outsourcing would be more expensive. Indeed, many business leaders switch to IT outsourcing after realizing that employees often take far longer to complete a project. IT outsourcing service providers are highly efficient specialists; they can usually complete tasks more quickly, saving you time and money.
ENHANCED COMPANY PERFORMANCE. The know-how of the entire IT outsourcing company will be on your side when you contract for outsourcing – you'll be sure to get the most up-to-date solutions for your IT problems. Your competitors may not have the same technology, giving you an edge. Furthermore, because your employees won't have to juggle that extra IT work, they'll have more time to focus on your core business offerings. In this way, IT outsourcing can increase employee productivity and overall company performance.
CREATE MEASUREABLE, SPECIFIC GOALS. Develop a positive working relationship with your IT outsourcing partner by setting detailed, quantifiable goals for your IT outsourcing service.
RETAINER VS. ONE-TIME SERVICES. A retainer contract is best if you need ongoing IT expertise. IT services that are provided under a retainer contract are provided at a set rate per month, meaning you will pay the same amount no matter how many hours an IT outsourcing expert spends on your projects. On the other hand, if you only have one or two IT projects that require completion, it is probably more cost-effective to pay for outsourcing services on an hourly basis.
In the end, you can often save yourself precious time, money and headaches by hiring an IT outsourcing service. Carefully vetting IT outsourcing firms and setting clear expectations for your service will help you create a positive relationship with your IT outsourcing partner.
I definitely agree with you that IT outsourcing can give companies the professional and competitive edge that is lacking in-house. I've been outsourcing for over a decade and the Web has made it almost seamless for me. I guess, what worked for me is not only setting clear goals for my team; Trust, communication and collaboration helped me keep my team working on-time, all the time. I love the tips you wrote here as well on how to get the most out of IT Outsourcing services. Spot on!
Good tips and a great article. IT outsourcing definitely has benefits, and they are more then clearly listed here. Thumbs up!
IT outsourcing is one of the most cost-effective options for a business, especially as a online business or a virtual business that does not have much of physical office.
it has certainly benefitted my business.
Cost Effective Yeah, Sustainable NO!

Have I ever mention the hate that I have for the winter? Like why are you here each year and always coming with this same song and dance. This year you played with us. Guess you were too busy getting dressed. Made us think that you wouldn't be coming. Had us dancing and tweeting. Only to show up drunk a month later. I hate you and here we are.
This is my hating the winter look.
Let's start with the shirt. I have been watching that Showtime show 'Nurse Jackie' lately. It made me remember that I made this shirt and I need to wear it more often. The older I get the more I design and the heavier the rotation becomes.
I feel like keeping this grey going. I'm never one to match the jeans and shirt and I want to switch this up. Maybe from all the color rush the NFL been doing. But I'm keeping the pants the same color as the shirt.
Since the cold wants to keep coming. I guess we have to put a coat on. I have been in love with the bombers. The light feel gives you the heat you need while not having to walk around with the heaviest of most jackets. Since I went grey on grey with the shirt and pants, changing the color feels like the way to go. This look feels clean. I never wear my jackets all the way zipped up. I let it hang. I didn't want to get too crazy with the jacket. It's there without being in the way as far as the look goes.
One thing I wanted y'all to see is that the bomber fits great on the body. It has the perfect hang and the button at the bottom is a nice touch. The more I look at it the more I might say to give the turtle neck a try. Wearing it under the Sanquon shirt or simply as shown in the picture above.
Talking about the NFL color rush, how about the Vans with the old school color block? If it's one thing I have a lot of, it's red sneakers. No, I'm not in a gang. I just like the way the color looks. Which is funny since royal blue is my favorite color and I have no blue sneakers. This red sets off on the grey and black scale that this look is made off. Being the hit of pop that the Sanquon shirt also shares, red.
Enjoy this look and be sure to send me pictures of you rocking it. Click the Vans banner below to get the sneakers. The shirt is from my store, Sanquon so click here for the shirt and click the Top Man banner that's also below for the jacket and pants.

On this first day, for our first walk, we are going to begin from North West of Bali Island in Belimbing Village. The typical Balinese Hindu village is famous for its beautiful rice terraces which are considered as the best ones on the tropical Bali Island. On the way of our walking journey, we are going to pass through small villages, rice fields, bamboo bride, crossing river, green hills and valleys, coffee plantation, rivers, jungle , bamboo forest and small remote villages. The hiking track takes more or less 8 to 9 hours. When it is late in the afternoon, we are going to arrive at a camp site in an area called Jatiluwih. Then, you are going to stay overnight at a local Balinese house.
On this second day, we are going to start our journey after having breakfast at a local Balinese house. All of us are going to proceed our hiking journey from Jatiluwih to Tamblingan Lake. Trough this hiking journey, we are going to go on an exploration deep into Bali Tropical rain forest. For this purpose, we are going to go on a hike for a day in the forest. This tropical rain forest is really rich of flora and fauna, wild orchid, ferns, huge trees etc. What is more memorable is that a picnic lunch will be served in the middle of the tropical rain forest. The lunch will previously be cooked and prepared by our experienced guide. When it is late in the afternoon, we are going to arrive at the well-known Tamblingan Lake Side. Then, you are going to stay overnight at a local Hotel nearby.
A morning meal will be held at the tent will be held before we start our journey of hiking up to a Balinese temple called Pura Puncak Mangu. In this dramatic journey, we go on a hiking up through the magnificent views of the so-called danau Beratan or lake Beratan and the green and hilly northern parts of Bali Tropical Island. And so the journey continues, the hiking up leads us to small trails. On this spot,usually we will not find anyone on the way up. For a short description, the trail is truly awesome. Here, we will have the chance to enjoy witnessing unspoiled tropical forest and really green environment. To restore energy and spirit, a short rest will be made when we are reaching the temple. In the meantime, we can enjoy seeing the wonderfulful panorama and the ancient architecture of the old temple structure. Considering the location of the place, it is very suitable for people who like to do meditation. This is because the location is really a long distance from the people and their settlements. When it is late in the afternoon, we are going to reach Plaga Village. Here we will get on the car because we will continue our tour to Kintamani area for staying overnight at a tent there. To be exact, the overnight stay will be held at a tent in a place called Toya Depasya Hot Spring which will be continued with a BBQ Dinner.
This day will begin very early in the morning, before dawn we start our trekking up to the summit of Batur active volcano to be able to enjoy witnessing the magnificent sun rise. As a matter of fact, this mountain is the most active volcano in Bali. This famous mountain has already erupted a lot of times since 1804, 1814, up to 2006. On the summit of it we will have a good time of boiling eggs or bananas on the steam for approximately 15 minutes. When it is time, then we will go down to a natural Hot Spring For an enjoyable swimming. You will also enjoy traditional Balinese massage and our buffet lunch at a local restaurant overlooking to the mountain and the lake. After the memorable activities, we will go to Ubud. When it is already late in the afternoon, we will go back to the hotel where you stay and enjoy relaxing at your own accommodation.
The Tour Package Includes: Hotel transfer service, English/German speaking driver/guide, mineral water, all meals of breakfast and lunch, accommodation or tent and sleeping equipments, all entrance fees and things as they are stated on the packages.


text:
Tintin (pronuncia ) è un personaggio immaginario protagonista della serie a fumetti belga Le avventure di Tintin ideata e disegnata da Hergé comunemente ritenuto antesignano e modello di riferimento dello stile della linea chiara della scuola franco-belga.

Caratterizzazione del personaggio
Tintin è un giovane reporter belga, protagonista di avventure in ogni parte del mondo insieme all'inseparabile cagnolino Milù (Milou). A partire dal nono albo della serie Il granchio d'oro è affiancato dal collerico capitano Haddock, e a partire dal dodicesimo albo Il tesoro di Rackam il Rosso, dallo scienziato Trifone Girasole.

Di Tintin non si conosce nulla, né famiglia né l'età; si sa che è un reporter, anche se non lo vediamo mai al lavoro. Per giustificare i suoi impegni in giro per il mondo senza un'evidente fonte di reddito, l'autore Hergé lo fa partecipare a una fortunata caccia al tesoro, che (evidentemente) permette a lui e ai suoi amici, il Capitano Haddock e il bizzarro Professor Girasole di vivere di rendita.

Comprimari
In molti episodi vi sono anche due poliziotti non molto capaci, amici di Tintin, con i nomi simili Dupont e Dupond. Sono gemelli, tutti e due vestiti con bombetta e bastone, e appaiono come personaggi la prima volta nell'episodio I sigari del faraone con i nomi X-33 e X-33bis. I personaggi antagonisti con cui Tintin si confronta sono in genere spie, falsari, trafficanti di droga e schiavisti.

Storia editoriale
Il personaggio esordì in francese il 10 gennaio 1929 sul settimanale belga Le Petit Vingtième, supplemento del quotidiano Le vingtième siècle, dove viene pubblicato fino al 1942 quando la serie continua la pubblicazione su Le Soir Jeunesse, supplemento al quotidiano Le Soir, fino al 1946 quando debutta su una testata propria, Le Journal de Tintin (Kuifje nella versione fiamminga).

Hergé affermò che durante i suoi anni scolastici, quando l'esercito tedesco occupò il Belgio durante la prima guerra mondiale, era solito disegnare in margine ai suoi quaderni un giovane personaggio di sua creazione senza nome che combatteva contro i Boches (letteralmente "testoni" o "cavoli", un termine dispregiativo usato nei confronti dei tedeschi) usando la sua intelligenza e la sua ingenuità, nessuno di questi disegni è sopravvissuto.

L'ispirazione per l'aspetto fisico e il comportamento di TinTin venne dal fratello minore di Herge', Paul. Hergé raccontò in un aneddoto che Paul successivamente per spirito d'avventura si arruolò nell'esercito e venne spesso deriso dai suoi commilitoni per la palese somiglianza col personaggio.

Degna di nota una storia illustrata intitolata Tintin-Lutin ("Tintin il goblin") pubblicata nel 1898, da Benjamin Rabier e Fred Isly, incentrata sulle avventure di un piccolo goblin chiamato Tintin, dall'aspetto simile al personaggio di Hergé. Hergé ammise di essersi ispirato dallo stile di Rabier e Isly per la loro rappresentazione degli animali, ma giurò di aver sempre ignorato l'esistenza di Tintin-Lutin fino al 1970, scoperto su indicazione di un fan. Un'altra possibile influenza essenziale per il personaggio sembra essere stata Palle Huld, un boy scout quindicenne della Danimarca che divenne molto famoso a livello internazionale per aver compiuto un viaggio intorno al mondo da solo. Anche Robert Sexé, un fotografo e giornalista francese, che girò in motocicletta l'Unione Sovietica, il Congo Belga e gli Stati Uniti è ritenuto una possibile grande influenza per TinTin, suggerita anche dalla Hergé Foundation stessa. Infine, il leader rexista e attivista filo-nazista Léon Degrelle, affermò in un libro pubblicato dopo la sua morte (Tintin mon copain) che i suoi anni di giornalismo furono fondamentali per la caratterizzazione del personaggio di TinTin. Degrelle contribuì ad importare giornali messicani in Belgio i quali spesso contenevano strisce a fumetti, e Hergé ammise nel 1975 che Degrelle ebbe il suo ruolo nell'introdurre Hergé al mondo delle strisce a fumetti seppur negò ogni riferimento alla figura di Degrelle nel personaggio.

Hergé ammise successivamente che Tintin non aveva mai preso sul serio il personaggio di TinTin, soprattutto nelle sue prime storie, spiegando che esso sia nato come un semplice "scherzo tra amici, di quelli che ci si dimentica il giorno dopo." Il biografo di Hergé Benoît Peeters notò che nelle sue prime avventure, Tintin è un personaggio "supremamente belga", sottolineato in precedenza anche dal biografo Pierre Assouline. Le prime storie di TinTin sono spesso state oggetto di critica per la rappresentazione della violenza contro gli animali nonché per l'uso di stereotipi razzisti ed etnocentrici tipici del colonialismo in particolare nella storia TinTin au Congo. A riguardo Hergé stesso commentò: "i miei primi lavori sono libri scritti da un giovane belga riempito di idee e pregiudizi tipici di un cattolico, sono libri che potevano essere scritti da qualunque belga nella mia situazione. Non sono molto intelligenti, lo so, e non mi fanno onore: sono libri tipicamente "belga". Peeters definì il primo TinTin "un personaggio sartriano", un'esistenzialista prima che il termine venisse coniato", "senza cognome né famiglia, con quasi nient'altro che il suo volto, e una vaga idea di carriera". Lo ha definito inoltre solo un veicolo narrativo per le sue storie, talvolta persino incoerente con sé stesso.

La serie completa di TinTin è costituita da 24 storie in lingua francese delle quali l'ultima è rimasta incompiuta. Le prime otto vennero pubblicate tra il 1929 e il 1941 in bianco e nero con tavole a sei vignette e negli anni quaranta e cinquanta vennero tutte ridisegnate - tranne la prima - per renderle omogenee con le successive che venivano pubblicate in albi a colori di 48 pagine con tavole a dodici vignette; l'ultima storia risale al 1983, anno di morte dell'autore.

Le storie vennero illustrate da Hergé dopo un lavoro di documentazione che comprendeva le fotografie dei luoghi e degli oggetti da disegnare. Il suo tratto, originale e personale, caratterizzato da un segno sottile, pulito ed elegante venne poi imitato da molti suoi colleghi belgi e francesi e denominato linea chiara. Prima della morte, avvenuta nel 1983, Hergé aveva chiesto che la sua serie non venisse continuata da altri.

I salute YB for being very articulate on this AES project.
YB Minister must investigate the controversy surrounding the AES to show YB has accepted YAB PM's GTP whole heartedly.
As a clue to YB Minister, YB can check the change of purpose on the Live Demo. The basic objective was to test the features claimed available in the paper submission were true and effective. However, JPJ created their own test protocol where most of the tests did not correspond to the RFQ specification. WHY?
YB Wee may wish to raise this matter with YB Minister.

Classic Air Medical discontinues memberships
Amanda Fehring
(County 10)
(Fremont County, WY) – Classic Air Medical announced they have discontinued their memberships in a press release shared with County 10. Their release is shared below.
"At Classic Air Medical, we have always chosen to focus on high-quality critical care transport at a low cost to patients. Approximately 10 years ago, Classic created a membership program to protect patients and their families from open-ended balance billing.
"Over the past few years, Classic has fine-tuned its billing practices to maximize the insurance company's payment for a medical flight. This has allowed Classic to minimize the amount that patients have to pay out-of-pocket to an average of just $200.
"Classic Air Medical fully supports the federal government implementing the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which was enacted on December 27, 2020. This act contains many provisions including the No Surprises Act under title 1.
"With the No Surprises Act, consumers have new billing protections when getting emergency care and non-emergency care from out-of-network or in-network facilities, and air ambulance services from out-of-network providers. Through new rules aimed to protect consumers, out-of-pocket costs are restricted, and emergency services must continue to
be covered without any prior authorization, and regardless of whether or not a provider or facility is in-network.
"We believe this enactment renders memberships unnecessary. Therefore Classic Air Medical proudly announces that we no longer offer a membership program. Instead, our team will work with your insurance company to fully cover the cost of our air medical service. Selling air medical memberships is an outdated and unnecessary practice and we believe that all air medical companies should discontinue their use.
"Classic Air Medical will continue to offer the highest level of air medical services for the lowest possible cost. Classic's commitment to serving our communities, patients, and families will remain our top priority."
For more information about the No Surprises Act, click here.

Chapter Two: Bookselling Then and Now
Chapter One | Chapter Three
Excerpt from "Bookselling as a Profession for Women,"
Madge Jenison, National Business Woman, February 1926
Once a woman came to talk to me about opening a bookshop in Montclair. She said that she had three children to educate and five thousand dollars in the bank. What did I advise her to do? I told her that I could not possibly even guess for her. I did not know how much imagination she had, or will, or culture, or power to work. It takes a great deal of all these to keep a bookshop. But she was insistent, and she was plainly in need of a helping hand from somewhere to keep her from being simply a mother of three children with an uneasy heart. She went away, saying
that she would come back in two weeks. Would I think it over and tell her what I thought then?
It gave me three headaches and spoiled a performance of "Il Pagliacci" for me, but when she came back I advised her to do it. Five thousand dollars would not educate three children. It would not educate half a child, or buy their clothes or keep them in overshoes. But if she would get out in the world of affairs, even if she failed, somebody would be watching her, and she would get an experience which would help her to do something else.
Probably five hundred women and a hundred men in the United States are at this moment planning to open bookshops, and thirty or forty thousand more regard them as one of the romantic possibilities of life, like sitting on a stone in the moonlight or finding that there is oil on the farm your grandfather left you, appraised in the last bill for taxes at one thousand dollars.
There is some golden spell about bookselling. If you love books you can check, dust, label, wrap, bill them, and still they give you out some phantom joy. I have loaned books, sometimes ten at a sitting; I have bought them, and spent evenings rearranging them after various theories; but to sell anybody one hundred and eighty—pile them up so that all the surrounding chairs and tables are toppling with them, is a kind of fever dream. "The work is the wages" in bookselling more than in most things with which we occupy ourselves, I think.
Joyce Meskis, Response to Madge Jenison's Article, "Bookselling as a Profession for Women"
[Madge] Jenison's bookshop, the Sunwise Turn, co-owned with Mary Horgan Mowbray-Clarke, opened in 1916, in New York City on 31st Street. It is hard to imagine now what it must have been like in those years—really not so very long ago—when women were denied membership in the all-male American Booksellers Association. It was during that era, in 1920, that the women's suffrage movement finally won access to the voting booth! And it was thanks to women's activism and the efforts of so many others, that the talent, entrepreneurial spirit, and contributions of women were brought to light, shining on our institutions, cultural endeavors, and business interests—not the least of which was the bookshop.
During the ten years it was open the Sunwise Turn Bookshop made its mark on the culture of a nation. At the same time, it must have been gratifying to witness the transformation in the roles women played in the book industry. As Jenison observed, "Women…have overrun bookselling." Stores were being opened in greater numbers by women; women were managing the book departments in major department stores; and they were opening bookshops, lots and lots of bookshops. Through various means, these women found the capital, locations, inventory, and the knowledgeable staff to sell books to a welcoming audience of readers. By 1923, Jenison had written a book, Sunwise Turn: A Human Comedy of Bookselling, which documented her own development as a bookseller, capturing the pleasures and confusions inherent in the business of books. As a well-connected observer, she chronicled the unique creative expressions of her sister booksellers in their efforts to bring books to the people: through her own intellectual soirées; a focus on the political anarchistic interests of the day; books by mobile caravan; books for children; good books of all kinds.
All of this is not to say that there are no more hurdles to overcome. To stay in business requires constant oversight of market trends; creative enterprising attentiveness; unflagging attention to financial detail; and a passion for the business of books as strong as the passion for the creative construct of the words and ideas presented in them.
Bookselling today is not an endeavor for the hobbyist. There is too much at risk, too much to do and too much to lose, individually and collectively. Even to accomplish one's lofty philosophical goals, a viable business plan must be in place to support such a noble endeavor. Yet today, as before, there remains a kind of dreaminess about owning a bookshop. I have heard hundreds of times the refrain, "Oh, it must be wonderful owning a bookstore, doing nothing all day long but sitting on a stool and discussing the great books with your customers." Well, of course, there is some of that, but in reality it's cleaning the bathrooms, shoveling the snow, dealing with a leak in the roof that the landlord is slow to fix; it's tax forms, labor laws, censorship challenges from right and left; keeping an eye on the budget, not letting the inventory of the store get ahead of its sales; it's paying the bills, or at least worrying about paying them. It's hard work, heavy work requiring a strong back and a fertile mind, the latter to serve as a repository for the minutiae so necessary to answer the myriad questions from a diverse clientele in search of information, answers, edification, relaxation, or a favorite bedtime story to read to the children. Then and now, serving the critical thinkers and interests of those readers residing in a pluralistic society is a demanding job.

Record Sales Fuel Investment and Expansion at Invertek Drives
Invertek Drives USA, LLC Apr 09, 2021
Record growth is fuelling expansion at UK-based variable frequency drive (VFD) innovator and manufacturer Invertek Drives.
With double digit growth in sales in 2020 and record figures already in Q1 of 2021, the company is embarking on a recruitment drive across its innovation and manufacturing departments.
The company's multi-million-pound strategic stock of electronic components, used in the manufacture of its VFDs, has enabled it to continue to fulfil global orders with short lead times. This is in the face of a worldwide shortage in components faced by many other electronics manufacturers and the effect of the coronavirus pandemic.
Its 5,500sq metre manufacturing facility located at its headquarters in Welshpool, Powys, UK, has increased production as a result of demand for its VFDs. Rigorous health and safety procedures to protect employees have ensured continued production throughout the pandemic.
"2020 was a remarkable year for us. Despite the global challenges, demand for our Optidrive VFDs rose throughout the year. Already in 2021, we have surpassed previous records set in our 22-year history," said Rhydian Welson, Sales & Marketing Director of Invertek Drives.
"Throughout this we have fulfilled all customer orders, including those via our two-day express service. We've demonstrated how our approach to holding a strategic stock of components used in production ensures our ability to maintain production no matter what the global conditions are."
Invertek Drives only build to order, supplying its worldwide sales partner network with stock that is maintained at a local level in more than 80 countries. This ensures production is only targeted where demand is allowing a fast turnaround. Despite significant increased air and sea transportation costs over the past 12 months, Invertek has maintained its competitive edge in the VFD market.
Rhydian added: "We're currently undertaking a recruitment drive as part of our ongoing investment and expansion in all parts of the business. Production has continually increased and we're looking to add production operatives to our dedicated team."
"Our Innovation team is also growing as we design and develop the next generation of VFD technology, and we have several positions currently available for experienced technicians and engineers.
"We're very proud of what we have achieved over the past 12 months in the face of global challenges and that's down to the great team we have here at Invertek and throughout the world."
Further details on the opportunities available can be found at http://www.invertekdrives.com/careers.

Jan Macvarish ist eine britische Soziologin. Sie arbeitet als Research Fellow am Centre for Parenting Culture Studies an der University of Kent und ist eine Pionierin auf dem jungen Forschungsgebiet der Kultur der Elternschaft (engl. parenting culture studies). Ihre Forschungsinteressen als Soziologin liegen auf den Gebieten der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen, der Elternschaft, des Familienlebens, der Sexualität und der Intimität.

Leben und Forschungstätigkeit
Macvarish hat an der Keele University Soziologie, Sozialanthropologie und Geschichte studiert und ging 2001 an die University of Kent, um dort zu promovieren. Ihre 2007 fertiggestellte Doktorarbeit The New Single Woman: Contextualising Individual Choice hatte die soziale Konstruktion weiblichen Singletums zum Gegenstand und beschrieb einen Wandel der Ikonografie alleinstehender Frauen weg vom Typus unausgefüllter, unfreiwillig einsamer Frauen hin zu einem neuen Typus von Frauen, die aus bewusster Entscheidung ohne Partner bleiben.

Anschließend hat sie über Mutterschaft Minderjähriger und über staatliche Regulierung von Kinderwunschbehandlungen geforscht. Gegenwärtig (2015) forscht sie zu Einflüssen der Neurowissenschaft auf Elternschaft und Familienleben.

Über Fachkreise hinaus wurde Macvarish beachtet, als sie 2010 argumentierte, viele elterliche Präferenzen für bestimmte Erziehungspraktiken und Erziehungslehren – besonders das Attachment Parenting – werden nicht auf die Bedürfnisse des Kindes hin orientiert, sondern primär auf das Selbstbild der Eltern, wobei es auch zu einer "elterlichen Stammesbildung" (parental tribalism) komme, bei der Eltern sich in Lagern gruppieren, die einander feindlich gegenüberstehen und einander danach beurteilen, ob sie stillen oder welche Form von Windeln sie verwenden.

CASP is coming up quickly, and the Alignment Tool will likely be important for most of the CASP puzzles. So we'd like it to be as effective and easy to use as possible.
Are there any suggestions for changes or new features for the alignment tool that would be useful?

Apart from my and infjamc's
Apart from my and infjamc's suggestions in http://fold.it/portal/node/987340 I'd like a better ability of the tool to thread successful from an alignment. At least the tool could give us informations why it could not thread from the alignment.

My 2 cents worth
I may be missing something obvious about the way it works but I find it difficult to use. It's very useful for getting some sort of a reasonable starting structure for the "straight line" puzzles, which otherwise involve so much tedious initial work that I'd stopped playing them. And using the initial threaded structures as a guide can be useful too.
But that's pretty much it for me, although I sometimes look at the other structures for inspiration. And judging by a non-scientific sampling of comments in chat I think others use it in that way only.
Some issues:
Threading invariably generates a structure that has a zero score and that also contains some residues with scores like -70,000 or whatever. By the time you've spent a rather frustrating half-hour dealing with these bits and finally getting a positive score, you've changed the protein quite a bit, probably negating any minor gains that might have been made from shuffling residues around in the top row.
And are you supposed to move the residues in the lower rows (templates) around? You're free to do so but it's not clear why you should.
Colours. There's no explanation for what they mean although it appears they refer to different groups of amino acids, partitioning the 20 amino acids into groupings other than hydrophobic/hydrophilic. A knowledge of which groups can be reasonably replaced with others is needed here.
Doesn't seem to work with proteins if any segments are locked. A pity this: if you could use threading on a small bit of an already folded protein: say copy just a loop from a template it could be very useful: a point already made I think by Madde and infjamc.
Documentation: videos are all very well but they're not really a substitute for having a written, detailed explanation that can be referred to when you need to look up a point you don't remember.
mimi 81 1314
Absolutely agree with spvincent.
There is an almost complete lack of useful information on which to base your adjustments.
What I find the most frustrating is to spend ages playing with the alignment to get a higher score only to find that it won't thread when the original "unimproved" alignment will.
Just tend to look at the results of the alignments and chose the one I feel is best as a starting point rather than waste time getting a better fit.

Implementation is lacking
I'm sure someone put a lot of work into developing this, and as others have stated, it's useful for getting a starting structure on the straight line puzzles. Beyond that, it's like a lot of other features that have come along in the last year or so - the detailed and in-depth instructions on how to use the tool are missing. The video shows how the controls work, but not WHY any of the moves are being done. I think the developers assume we all know a lot more about this protein stuff than we really do. there's probably only a small handful that actually have the background to understand this. The rest of us just wiggle, shake and rebuild until it looks pretty and the score goes up. If anything, the skills are drying up, since now we just run sequences of recipes or scripts to get the best score we can and move on. I know I spend a LOT less time looking at the protein and thinking about how to improve it. I just wander by the PC, and if a script has stopped, I start another one.

It shows how, but not why.
I don't understand the colors and letters.
Maybe you should give some graphics which show the single parts of the templates.
Anyway, it's a good thing that now the parts show up which made the aligment impossible.

A journey about 4 blokes trying to qualify for Henley
Tuesday, 18th June 2019
12 months ago, our M4- raced at Twickenham regatta and came 2nd to a very good Ardingly M4- who later went on to qualify for Henley Royal Regatta. That race set in motion an aspiration to attempt to qualify a M4- from Furnivall for the Wyfolds at HRR, something that hasn't happened since 2002. Fast-forward 12 months later and the final phase of our training is underway.
Furnivall is not your average club. Our membership is broad in terms of diversity, and what we offer as a rowing club. We have a lot of professionals in our club who are time-poor. Herein lies the first challenge we would have to overcome if we wanted to stand a realistic chance of going to HRR; how do we find enough water time together? Thankfully, Furnivall's flexible approach to training, by both our coaching and management team, make that obtainable, allowing us to train when we need to and can, rather than being dictated too.
Like our club, our crew isn't conventional in the slightest. We're verging on being lightweights and not all of us are over 6' nor in our early twenties. We range from 24 to 35, 69 kgs to 83 and we sure as hell aren't hung up about erg scores!
Dan is the baby of the crew and a lawyer - we also trust him to steer after only rowing for 18 months. Pierre is our charming french finance professional, elder statesmen at 35 and our stroke rower. Luke is a construction professional who was probably rowing before he could walk and provides the good looks and midships grunt. And finally me, the 69 kg engine room who is another construction industry (railways though) project manager and a gig rower originally from Cornwall.
Despite our unconventional qualities, we make it work. We have to, because we believe in our goal and in each other to deliver. We work around each other's hectic work commitments and somehow we find the time to get training sessions in. Even if this means agreeing to trailer to Henley or Cambridge and do 5-6 outings in a weekend to make the most of good water. Maybe not rocket science for some crews and clubs out there, but this is a big deal for us and a big behaviour and mindset change.
Our journey has been a long one. As a crew we've come a long way and we're still gelling and learning as we go. We all bring something to the boat but learning how to row with each other has been half the battle. Like many crews, we've had our ups and downs - learning to trust, tolerate and respect each other has been hard at times, whether that be dealing with my general mental wellbeing issues, trusting Dan to steer the boat and not kill us (moderately successful to date), Luke's relentless drive for perfection every stroke or Pierre having a habit of doing what he wants, when he wants. So very French.
We've come a long way individually of course. I'm unlearning 15 years of habits from rowing Cornish pilot gigs, Dan's learning how to steer a coxless boat when he has only been rowing for 18 months and Pierre's learning to do what he is told, when he is told (still working on that bit!).
Every time we go out, we make small improvements, fine-tuning the boat, our calls, our set-up - working together as a crew pushing the performance envelope of what is possible - especially for 'corporate athletes' such as ourselves. Of course more is possible: plenty of clubs up and down the country have professionals who row and who train more days a week than we do. But that's not the Furnivall USP. We provide flexibility to accommodate those who want to row at a decent standard but can't commit to what other clubs expect of you just to pull on their unisuit - never mind get in a top boat.
That's the great thing about being part of a club like Furnivall and having an aspirational goal. It's working towards something, learning as you go, feeling that reward, sense of achievement and accomplishment - especially as a small underdog kind of club. There have been plenty of moments so far where we have surprised ourselves and our coaches along the way. It's about having a supportive coaching team who push you to places you don't want to go. Not letting your crew down, but most importantly, not letting yourself down.
In the last few weeks things have really clicked for us. Our bad strokes, dodgy pieces and downright atrocious outings are outweighed by the good ones. The momentum is building and each session we feel more confident that we have the speed and technique needed to carry this off. Can we qualify? I honestly don't know; we can't control the uncontrollable and are solely focussed on rowing our very best race we can when we go to Qualifiers on Friday 28 June. Maybe, just maybe, we will qualify a boat from Furnivall Sculling Club for Henley Royal 2019 and write a new chapter in the story of this small, quirky and eccentric underdog of a club.

MANILA: Ride-hailing platforms Uber and Grab have agreed to stop their drivers from delivering unchecked packages on behalf of customers, in response to government concerns they could unwittingly become couriers of illegal drugs.
President Rodrigo Duterte's 15-month-old administration has been waging a brutal war on drugs, the centerpiece of his election campaign, with thousands of people killed during what police say are anti-narcotics operations.
Duterte insists narcotics are at the root of the country's rampant crime problem and says as many as four million Filipinos are using drugs.
"Uber services here are for passengers only," Yves Gonzales, in charge of government relations and public policy at Uber Philippines, said during the meeting, in comments aired on news channel ANC on Friday.


Bonita Barlow, Artist presents "Mogollon Mountains at Sunset".
About 1.5 miles from New Mexico Cabin Rentals and Double E Ranch in Gila, NM lives Artist Bonita Barlow. All pieces in Ms. Barlow's slideshow are 12"x12" oil on cradled board. Each: $300.
My love of landscape painting began when I arrived in New Mexico as a young transplant from the east coast in the late 70's. The clarity of the light thrilled my eye . I tried my hand at Plein air painting with a group of Santa Fe painters. We'd head out with our french easels. I knew instantly that I was lost. Having gone to art school back in Boston hadn't prepared me for this. An artist, whose work I admired, suggested that I go study with Henry Henche back in Provincetown Massachusetts. Henche was a master of translating light through color tones as opposed to tonal painting. His mentor had been Charles Hawthorn who had been taught by William Merritt Chase. I had happened upon a great lineage of American Impressionists!
In the summer of 1980 I drove back across the country to take a month long summer course offered by Henry at his Cape School of Art. After Hawthorn's death he took over the school and taught there for over 50 years. Henry was in his 80's when I met him and still a powerhouse. I lived in my car, bathed at the beach and frequently went dumpster diving to find groceries. This was the summer I started to really see. This changed everything.
By the late 80's I felt there was something more I wanted to say. Some buried mystery needed to be expressed so I jumped off into the world of abstract painting. It took me many years to finally find my voice in this realm. In 1999 I started what I call my "Light Sculpture" paintings. These are reflective interactive pieces consisting of oil paint, glass powder, and sometimes gold leaf. This work can be found @ bonitabarlowlight.com.
Though I moved on in my exploration of the light I find myself regularly returning to the practice of landscape painting to celebrate the beauty that surrounds me in the Southwest.

What's an ESOP?
The SECURE Act and ESOPs
March 9, 2020 •CSG Partners Staff
Propelled by overwhelming bipartisan support, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act was formally passed by Congress in December 2019.
The legislation was primarily designed to help small businesses establish and maintain "safe harbor" retirement plans, including 401k and 403b plans. But the SECURE Act will also have a significant impact on employee stock ownership plans.
Starting in 2021, businesses with newly established employee stock ownership plans will have until the extended corporate tax return due date to make tax-deductible, prior-year contributions.
The SECURE Act extends a key ESOP deadline.
Section 201 of the SECURE Act grants businesses permission to treat qualified retirement plans, adopted before the extended corporate tax return due date, as having been adopted on the last day of the taxable year. As a result, a company that establishes an employee stock ownership plan on or by September 15, 2021, can still make 2020 ESOP contributions, so long as those non-cash contributions are made prior to the tax deadline.
This is notable because ESOP contributions are tax-deductible.
A plan sponsor is permitted to make an annual contribution, equivalent to 25% of its eligible payroll, to its employee trust. A company with a $20MM annual payroll could make an annual ESOP contribution as large as $5MM and receive an equivalent income tax deduction. For sponsors of new employee stock ownership plans, the ability to create a significant income prior-year tax deduction can be profound.
Closely-held businesses will also gain greater flexibility in their ESOP planning. Whereas plan sponsors previously rushed to form new ESOPs prior to a tax-year's end, the new, extended deadline should create breathing room for companies to engage in more comprehensive plan design and implementation.
Learn more about ESOP contribution-oriented tax deductions.
For a more detailed explanation of the ESOP tax advantages referenced above, check out our recent "High Payrolls, Accelerated ESOP Tax Benefits" article. CSG Partners' Steve Berman breaks down the ESOP contribution deduction and examines the outsized impact of this benefit on companies with high payrolls relative their annual income.

Purpose: This retrospective, observational cohort study investigated the association of blood eosinophil counts within 1 week of hospitalization for acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) with subsequent risk of all-cause and COPD-related readmission from a large integrated health system.
Patients and Methods: Electronic medical records were extracted for index hospitalization for AECOPD at all Intermountain Healthcare hospitals. The primary outcome was the relationship of blood eosinophil count to 30-day all-cause readmission; secondary outcomes were 60-day, 90-day, and 12-month all-cause readmission, COPD-related readmission, and empiric derivation of the eosinophil count with the highest area under the curve (AUC) for predicting 30-day all-cause readmission.
Results: Of 2445 included patients, 1935 (79%) had a blood eosinophil count < 300 cells/μL and 510 (21%) had a count ≥ 300 cells/μL. Using a 300-cells/μL threshold, there was no significant difference between high and low eosinophil groups in 30-day (odds ratio [OR]=1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.75– 1.47) or 60-day (OR=1.15, 95% CI=0.88– 1.51) all-cause readmissions. However, patients with greater (versus lesser) eosinophil counts had increased 90-day and 12-month all-cause readmissions (OR=1.35, 95% CI=1.06– 1.72, and OR=1.32, 95% CI=1.07– 1.62). COPD-related readmission rates were significantly greater for patients with greater (versus lesser) eosinophil counts at 30, 60, and 90 days and 12 months (OR range=1.52– 1.97). A total of 70 cells/μL had the most discriminatory power to predict 30-day all-cause readmission (highest AUC).
Conclusion: Eosinophil counts in patients with COPD were not associated with a difference in 30-day all-cause readmissions. However, greater eosinophil counts were associated with increased risk of all-cause readmission at 90 days and 12 months and COPD-related readmission at 30, 60, and 90 days and 12 months. Patients with eosinophils < 70 cells/μL had the lowest risk for 30-day all-cause readmission. Blood eosinophils in patients hospitalized with AECOPD may be a useful biomarker for the risk of hospital readmission.

Home Entertainment Joker Becomes First R-rated Film To Make $1bn At Global Box Office
Joker Becomes First R-rated Film To Make $1bn At Global Box Office
Joaquin Phoenix plays the title character in Joker
Comic book film Joker passed the $1bn (£772m) mark in global ticket sales this weekend, becoming the first R-rated movie to do so.
A US R rating requires everyone under the age of 17 watching the film in a cinema to be accompanied by an adult.
Joker is currently number seven on this weekend's US box office chart, with Le Mans film Ford v Ferrari topping the chart with takings of $31m (£24m).
The latest Charlie's Angels movie could only manage to open in third spot.
The reboot, which stars Kristen Stewart and UK actresses Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, took $8.6m (£6.6m) between Friday and Sunday.
World War Two naval drama Midway was second this weekend, taking $8.8m (£6.8m).
The billionaire club 2019
Avengers: Endgame – $2.79bn
The Lion King – $1.65bn
Spider-Man: Far From Home – $1.13bn
Captain Marvel – $1.09m
Toy Story 4 – $1.07bn
Aladdin – $1.05bn
Joker – $1bn (so far)
Joker became the most profitable comic book movie of all time earlier this month.
It has now reached $1bn despite not being released in China, where overseas releases with too much sex or violence can be blocked.
Its nearest R-rated rivals are 2018's Deadpool 2 ($785m) and its 2016 predecessor Deadpool ($783m), both starring Ryan Reynolds.
Gitesh Pandya, founder and editor of Box Office Guru, described it as a "jaw-dropping achievement".
Today is the day that #Joker shatters the $1,000,000,000 mark at the global #boxoffice! Totals at the start of today were $317M domestic, $682.1M intl & $999.1M worldwide. Absolutely jaw-dropping achievement for an R-rated film with a moderate budget and no China release.
— Gitesh Pandya (@GiteshPandya) November 15, 2019
Director Todd Phillips made the movie on a budget of $62.5m (£49m), a fraction of the budget of many comic book adaptations.
The film divided critics but is tipped for Oscar nominations, and has also stirred up controversy for its portrayals of mental illness and violence.
