"A tall spare man slightly stooped with untrimmed gray moustache and formal tail coat was for long years a familiar figure to both campus and town. He was one of those persons who was always going somewhere, always on duty, and not given to casual conversation. 'See me in my office' was his characteristic invitation . . . 'Old Joe' was a host in himself. And what a complex of competing interests: schoolmaster who wanted to be a preacher, strict disciplinarian whose heart was always giving way before a youngster's tearful plea, living laboriously in the present and yet clinging wistfully to a past long since gone by, most serious of countenances lightened at times with the pleasantest of smiles." (Howe, 1)
Joseph Henry Sawyer, probably around 1900. (Click any image to enlarge.)
Joseph Henry Sawyer. Williston's longest-serving faculty member was here for 53 years, a record that no one else has even approached. That could simply be another piece of Williston lore, like the numbers on the fence or the cow in the tower, were it not that Sawyer took himself seriously as an historian and wrote a useful history of the school. He counted Samuel and Emily Williston among his friends. He knew all six of his predecessors as Principal or Headmaster, as well as his successor, Archibald Galbraith. There are hundreds of living alumni, this writer included, who knew Galbraith. His life is a kind of time travel, a bridge between centuries. So Sawyer's longevity is enough to warrant our interest, but there is much more.
He had really hoped for something other than teaching. Though conservative by instinct and by preference, he became our most innovative Headmaster, although he had never sought the job.
In advance of the Williston centennial in 1941, Herbert B. Howe, class of 1901, attempted a Joseph Sawyer biography. Howe was a competent historian and indefatigable researcher. Yet he found Sawyer to have been so self-effacing that his life away from Williston was nearly undiscoverable. The son of farmers, Sawyer was born May 29, 1842, and raised in Davenport, Delaware County, New York, some 70 rural miles southwest of Albany. Young Joe did well enough at school for his parents to agree to send him for one year to the nearby Fergusonville Boarding Academy. There, Sawyer discovered the joys of the laboratory and the library. Against his nonetheless proud parents' expectations, Sawyer won a scholarship to Amherst College. Arriving there in 1862, he found that he was sufficiently advanced to be granted sophomore status.
Joseph Sawyer in 1865. This may be his Amherst graduation photo; he appears to be wearing his Phi Beta Kappa badge.
He graduated in 1865, a member of Phi Beta Kappa and in a three-way tie for Valedictorian. Along the way he had decided to become a clergyman. However, this would require graduate study which, at the time, Sawyer could not afford. Having excelled in mathematics, he took a teaching position at Monson Academy, now Wilbraham and Monson.
A year later, Principal Marshall Henshaw, himself an 1845 Amherst graduate, hired him to teach at Williston Seminary. The road between Amherst and Easthampton was well-traveled in both directions. Many Williston graduates went on to Amherst – 14 of Sawyer's 57 classmates had prepped there. Many returned to Easthampton to teach. Samuel Williston was an Amherst trustee. It is not impossible that Henshaw and Sawyer knew one another; at the very least, Henshaw was likely to have known that Sawyer was among the elite scholars in his class. So when teacher Judson Smith (Amherst '59) decided to move on, Amherst Mathematics Professor Ebenezer Snell recommended Sawyer to replace him.
Sawyer was hired as a teacher of pure and applied mathematics and something called "mental philosophy" — we now call it psychology, plus economics and history. Later in his career he would teach surveying and English. Teachers had to be multi-talented in those days. They had to be tireless, as well; the typical course load was six one-hour classes, every day.

Sawyer was 23 years old. One never knows how long young faculty will stay. Then, as now, many would teach for a couple of years and go on to grad school, or decide that teaching wasn't for them, or find a school with greener grass. His initial plan appears to have been to recover his finances and then resume his education, but for whatever reason – and Sawyer is characteristically silent on his motives – he stayed.

Professor Alvord Speaks His Mind
by Rick Teller '70, Williston Northampton Archivist
September 25, 2017 Rick Teller '70	2 Comments
Henry E. Alvord, ca. 1886. [Lovell, J. L. (John Lyman), 1825-1903. University Photograph Collection (RG 120_2). Special Collections and University Archives, University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries] (Click images to enlarge.)
Henry Elijah Alvord (1844-1904) had the privilege of reinventing himself several times during his lifetime. A native of Greenfield, Mass., he graduated Norwich University in the spring of 1862, aged 18, with a degree in Civil Engineering and a military education. He immediately enlisted as a private in the 7th Rhode Island Squadron, rapidly rising to the rank of First Sergeant, and by November 1862, was commissioned Lieutenant in the 2nd Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry. By the end of the Civil War in 1865, he had achieved the rank of Major, and was assigned a joint appointment as Superintendent of Freedmen's Affairs in Northeastern Virginia and Superintendent of Schools in the Carolinas.
In 1868 he became Inspector General of the Indian Territory District (now Oklahoma), serving until 1869 when, by order of President Andrew Johnson, he was appointed Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Massachusetts Agricultural College (now UMass) in Amherst. In 1871 he resigned from the Army and joined the U.S. Department of the Interior as a civilian Commissioner of Indian Affairs, eventually serving as Special Commissioner to the Sioux of Dacotah and Wyoming.
Then, for reasons unknown, he set his hand to other things. In 1873 he was elected Professor of Drawing and Commercial Business at Williston Seminary, where he would remain until 1881. (As shall be seen in the document below, he acquired other responsibilities.) Most of his students were enrolled in the scientific, as opposed to the classical, department (for a look at the different curricula, see the last third of the article "Entrance Exam.") "Commercial Business" primarily entailed bookkeeping and business math. Students of drawing largely focused on mechanical drawing and drafting, but Alvord insisted that his program begin with an intensive study of freehand drawing.
Principal Joseph W. Fairbanks
In the spring of 1880 Principal Joseph W. Fairbanks, then completing his second year at the helm, asked Alvord, and probably all the faculty, to present status reports. Whether this had been regular practice in the past is uncertain; few such statements from earlier years have come to light. Fairbanks' self-destructive predecessor, James Whiton, hadn't lasted long enough to poll his faculty, nor would it have been in his character. And by his own account Marshall Henshaw, who preceded Whiton and had hired Alvord, quarreled with him. So it is likely that Alvord was pleased to have been asked, possibly for the first time. In any case, he responded with a detailed letter whose scope extended beyond the confines of Alvord's assigned duties. The document provides wonderful insight not only into faculty workloads and responsibilities at the time, but also addresses wear and tear on the buildings, student behavior, and much more. (The first page of Alvord's manuscript is reproduced here, followed by a transcription of the entire document.)
Department of Drawing, Williston Seminary
Easthampton, Mass, April 17, 1880
To the Principal.
In compliance with your request, I respectfully present the following statement of the duties performed by me in connection with the Seminary, during the current year, with remarks thereon.
Joseph Sawyer with his surveying class, ca. 1900.
My duties have been similar to those of previous years — three classes in Drawing of 2, 3, and 4 hours a week, respectively, extending through the year; one class in Book-keeping in the Fall Term, in history in the Winter Term and in Surveying (assisting Prof. Sawyer) in the Spring Term, five forenoons in the week; supervision of Gymnastic exercises four afternoons and Inspection of Dormitories on Saturday mornings.
The time thus passed by me with classes or on specific duty at the Seminary has averaged twenty-four (24) hours per week, during the year; in Drawing, 9 hours; in Recitations 5 hours; at Gymnasium 9 hours, on Inspection, 1 hour.
The Drawing: During the year there have been 35 different pupils in Instrumental Drawing, members of the Senior and Middle Scientific Classes, and 31 pupils in Free-hand Drawing, from the Middle and Junior Middle Scientific Classes.
A particularly fine piece of freehand drawing, indicative of the standards Alvord asked of his students.
When called to the Seminary, now about seven years ago, I was informed that the special object was to establish and develop the Dept. of Drawing, and particularly to teach the practical branches of Drawing, then just beginning to receive attention in the schools of this country. The work has been gradually introduced as a requirement in the Scientific Course of Study and only within the past year has the original plan been realized. As now in operation, the course of instruction is this:
The student begins with elementary work in Free-hand Drawing at the opening of the Junior Middle year and during that year devotes two hours per week in drawing outlines and practice upon the fundamental principles of Perspective, in the last Term. In the Fall Term of Middle year, the instruction is given three hours a week, in outline drawing from models and solid objects, with applied perspective. With the second term of Middle Year begins Drawing with Instruments (the class having then had one term's instruction in Plane Geometry) and during the Winter and Spring Terms, Geometrical Constructions and Elementary projections are taught 3 hrs. a week.

Principal Joseph W. Fairbanks (served 1878-1884)
1879. Williston Seminary, transitioning not altogether painlessly into the post-Samuel Williston era, had a new Principal, Joseph Whitcomb Fairbanks. Fairbanks was finishing up his first year, having replaced the unfortunate James Morris Whiton, who had failed to finish his second. Innovation was not Fairbanks' strong suit, His greatest talent lay in getting along, a skill that had escaped his predecessor. (Yes, class, we're setting you up for a future story!)
But in that first year, he had an idea: printing the Williston entrance examination in the Annual Catalogue. It had not been done before. For a variety of good reasons, including the possibility of scaring away potential candidates, it would not be repeated. But 138 years later, it opens a window on what the entering Junior (i.e., 9th grade) or Junior Middler (10th grade) was expected to know.
Note that this is a "specimen" exam. The actual test would have had different questions. But try them! Would you have been admitted to Williston in 1879? (Please click images to enlarge.)
From the Annual Catalogue of Williston Seminary, February 1879
One confesses that many of these questions seem written to be annoying, demanding multiple conversions of equivalent measures or, in the geography section, asking for a deal of trivial knowledge. To travel from Vienna to London by water requires cruising down the Danube some 1,000 miles in the wrong direction, east to the Black Sea. And so on. But how did you do? (You weren't expecting an answer key, were you?) Continue reading →

Effects of neurotoxin - anatoxin-a on common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) innate immune cells in vitro.
Rymuszka A, Sieroslawska A.
Journal Article 2011; 32(Suppl 1): 84-88 PubMed PMID: 22167212 Citation Keywords: Animals, Blood Cells:drug effects, Carps:blood, Cells, Cultured, Dose-Response Relationship, Drug, Drug Evaluation, Preclinical, Immunity, Innate:drug effects, Neurotoxins:pharmacology, Phagocytes:drug effects, Pronephros:cytology, Reactive Nitrogen Speci.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine if cyanoneurotoxin - anatoxin-a (ANTX-a) alters the essential functions of innate immune cells such as free radicals generation in phagocytic cells and phagocytosis.
DESIGN: In the experiments pure ANTX-a was used at concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 1 µg/ml RPMI-1640 medium. Phagocytes were isolated from carp blood and pronephros. Relative changes in intracellular total free radical presence in fish phagocytes were monitored using a fluorescent probe, dichlorodihydrofluorescin DiOxyQ (DCFH-DiOxyQ) which detects hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO), peroxyl radical and peroxynitrite anion. Phagocytic activity of fish leukocytes was analyzed with a Vybrant phagocytosis assay kit.
RESULTS: The H2O2 level generated in response to ANTX-a at the highest used concentration was significantly suppressed in pronephros but not in blood phagocytes. Moreover, it was observed that generation of superoxide radicals and nitrite formation was significantly increased in blood and pronephros phagocytes after incubation with lower concentrations of the neurotoxin. The phagocytosis of fish leukocytes was significantly reduced at the two highest used toxin concentrations (0.1 and 1 µg/ml medium).
CONCLUSION: This findings suggests that ANTX-a could change innate immunity and reduced adaptive immunity after stress induced by cyanobacterial blooms....

Depression's multiple comorbidities explained by (neuro)inflammatory and oxidative & nitrosative stress pathways.
Maes M, Kubera M, Obuchowiczwa E, Goehler L, Brzeszcz J.
Journal Article 2011; 32(1): 7-24 PubMed PMID: 21407167 Citation Keywords: Animals, Comorbidity, Depression:epidemiology, Humans, Inflammation:epidemiology, Neuroimmunomodulation:physiology, Oxidative Stress:immunology, Reactive Nitrogen Species:metabolism, Signal Transduction:immunology, Stress, Psychological:epidemiology,.
: There is now evidence that depression, as characterized by melancholic symptoms, anxiety, and fatigue and somatic (F&S) symptoms, is the clinical expression of peripheral cell-mediated activation, inflammation and induction of oxidative and nitrosative stress (IO&NS) pathways and of central microglial activation, decreased neurogenesis and increased apoptosis. This review gives an explanation for the multiple "co-morbidities" between depression and a large variety of a) brain disorders related to neurodegeneration, e.g. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis and stroke; b) medical disorders, such as cardiovascular disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, diabetes type 1 and 2, obesity and the metabolic syndrome, and HIV infection; and c) conditions, such as hemodialysis, interferon-α-based immunotherapy, the postnatal period and psychosocial stressors. The common denominator of all those disorders/conditions is the presence of microglial activation and/or activation of peripheral IO&NS pathways. There is evidence that shared peripheral and / or central IO&NS pathways underpin the pathophysiology of depression and the previously mentioned disorders and that activation of these IO&NS pathways contributes to shared risk. The IO&NS pathways function as a smoke sensor that detect threats in the peripheral and central parts of the body and signal these threats as melancholic, anxiety, and fatigue and somatic (F&S) symptoms. The presence of concomitant depression is strongly associated with a lower quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality in medical disorders. This may be explained since depression contributes to increased (neuro)inflammatory burden and may therefore drive the inflammatory and degenerative progression. It is concluded that the activation of peripheral and / or central IO&NS pathways may explain the co-occurrence of depression with the above disorders. This shows that depression belongs to the spectrum of inflammatory and degenerative disorders....

Why myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) may kill you: disorders in the inflammatory and oxidative and nitrosative stress (IO&NS) pathways may explain cardiovascular disorders in ME/CFS.
Maes M, Twisk F.
Journal Article 2009; 30(6): 677-693 PubMed PMID: 20038921 Citation Keywords: Animals, Cardiovascular Diseases:immunology, Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic:immunology, Humans, Oxidative Stress:physiology, Reactive Nitrogen Species:metabolism, Reactive Oxygen Species:metabolism,.
: There is evidence that disorders in inflammatory and oxidative and nitrosative (IO&NS) pathways and a lowered antioxidant status are important pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Important precipitating and perpetuating factors for ME/CFS are (amongst others) bacterial and viral infections; bacterial translocation due to an increased gut permeability; and psychological stress. Recently, Jason et al (2006) reported that the mean age of patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome dying from heart failure, i.e. 58.7 years, is significantly lower than the age of those dying from heart failure in the general US population, i.e. 83.1 years. These findings implicate that ME/CFS is a risk factor to cardio-vascular disorder. This review demonstrates that disorders in various IO&NS pathways provide explanations for the earlier mortality due to cardiovascular disorders in ME/CFS. These pathways are: a) chronic low grade inflammation with extended production of nuclear factor kappa B and COX-2 and increased levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha; b) increased O&NS with increased peroxide levels, and phospholipid oxidation including oxidative damage to phosphatidylinositol; c) decreased levels of specific antioxidants, i.e. coenzyme Q10, zinc and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate; d) bacterial translocation as a result of leaky gut; e) decreased omega-3 polyunsatutared fatty acids (PUFAs), and increased omega-6 PUFA and saturated fatty acid levels; and f) the presence of viral and bacterial infections and psychological stressors. The mechanisms whereby each of these factors may contribute towards cardio-vascular disorder in ME/CFS are discussed. ME/CFS is a multisystemic metabolic-inflammatory disorder. The aberrations in IO&NS pathways may increase the risk for cardiovascular disorders....

Biogenic amines in the reduction of oxidative stress: melatonin and its metabolites.
Reiter R, Tan D, Jou M, Korkmaz A, Manchester L, Paredes S.
Journal Article 2008; 29(4): 391-398 PubMed PMID: 18766165 Citation Keywords: Animals, Antioxidants:metabolism, Free Radicals:metabolism, Melatonin:metabolism, Mitochondria:metabolism, Molecular Structure, Neuroprotective Agents:metabolism, Oxidative Stress, Reactive Nitrogen Species:metabolism, Reactive Oxygen Species:metabolism,.
: N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin) is an endogenous indoleamine produced by all vertebrate organisms. Its production in the pineal gland has been extensively investigated but other organs also synthesize this important amine. Melatonin's functions in organisms are diverse. The actions considered in the current review relate to its ability to function in the reduction of oxidative stress, i.e., molecular damage produced by reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species. Numerous publications have now shown that not only is melatonin itself an efficient scavenger of free radicals and related reactants, but so are its by-products cyclic 3-hydroxymelatonin, N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine, and others. These derivatives are produced sequentially when each functions in the capacity of a free radical scavenger. These successive reactions are referred to as the antioxidant cascade of melatonin. That melatonin has this function within cells has been observed in studies employing time lapse conventional, confocal and multiphoton fluorescent microscopy coupled with the use of appropriate mitochondrial-targeted fluorescent probes. The benefits of melatonin and its metabolites have been described in the brain where they are found to be protective in models of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and spinal cord injury. The reader is reminded, however, that data not covered in this review has documented beneficial actions of these amines in every organ where they have been tested. The outlook for the use of melatonin in clinical trials looks encouraging given its low toxicity and high efficacy....

Chronic fatigue syndrome is accompanied by an IgM-related immune response directed against neopitopes formed by oxidative or nitrosative damage to lipids and proteins.
Maes M, Mihaylova I, Leunis J.
Comparative Study 2006; 27(5): 615-621 PubMed PMID: 17159817 Citation Keywords: Adult, Epitopes:immunology, Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic:blood, Fatty Acids:immunology, Female, Humans, Immunoglobulin M:blood, Male, Middle Aged, Oxidative Stress:immunology, Proteins:immunology, Reactive Nitrogen Species:immunology, Reactive Oxygen Species.
: There is now some evidence that chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is accompanied by signs of oxidative stress and by a decreased antioxidant status. The aim of the present study was to examine whether CFS is accompanied by an immune response to neoepitopes of a variety of modified lipids and proteins indicating damage caused by oxidative and nitrosative stress. Toward this end we examined serum antibodies to fatty acids (oleic, palmitic and myristic acid), by-products of lipid peroxidation, i.e. azelaic acid and malondialdehyde (MDA), acetylcholine, S-farnesyl-L-cysteine, and N-oxide modified amino-acids in 14 patients with CFS, 14 subjects with partial CFS and 11 normal controls. We found that the prevalences and mean values for the serum IgM levels directed against oleic, palmitic and myristic acid, MDA, azelaic acid, S-farnesyl-L-cysteine, and the N-oxide derivates, nitro-tyrosine, nitro-phenylalanine, nitro-arginine, nitro-tryptophan, and nitro-cysteinyl were significantly greater in CFS patients than in normal controls, whereas patients with partial CFS took up an intermediate position. There were significant and positive correlations between the serum IgM levels directed against fatty acids, MDA and azelaic acid and the above N-oxide-derivates and the severity of illness (as measured by the FibroFatigue scale) and symptoms, such as aches and pain, muscular tension and fatigue. The results show that CFS is characterized by an IgM-related immune response directed against disrupted lipid membrane components, by-products of lipid peroxidation, S-farnesyl-L-cysteine, and NO-modified amino-acids, which are normally not detected by the immune system but due to oxidative and nitrosative damage have become immunogenic....

It looks 3.7.1 requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 so if I first build OpenSSL 1.1.1 in /usr then build Python 3.7.1 in /usr everything works on the build system. If I package the RPM and install it on another machine I get complaints about missing OpenSSL.
So I built an OpenSSL 1.1.1 RPM but there are too many conflicts with other packages so here is what I would LIKE to do. Please tell me if this is doable.
Compile Python 3.7.1 with OpenSSL 1.1.1 built statically so that it doesn't need to be installed everywhere I install the RPM.

A: Give https://github.com/chevah/pythia a try. It doesn't package the resulting file as RPM, but otherwise it does what it is required.
Using alien, you should be able to package the resulting .tar.gz file as RPM, but I haven't tried it…

Am Fam Physician. 2019 Jan 1;99(1):25-32.
Patient information: Handouts on this topic are available at https://familydoctor.org/newborn-screening-tests/ (newborn screening overview, including metabolic disorders) and https://familydoctor.org/condition/phenylketonuria-pku (PKU).
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), although individually rare, occur in 1 out of every 1,500 births. The first opportunity to detect IEM occurs during preconception counseling, when pregnant women and couples considering future pregnancies can undergo carrier screening. For individuals of all ethnic backgrounds, the screening includes testing for a variety of IEM and non-IEM. For individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, carrier screening, per the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, also includes testing for Tay-Sachs disease and four other IEM. Inborn errors of metabolism can present in utero; in newborns; or in children, adolescents, and adults. Some IEM can be detected in utero with the use of ultrasonography. Most commonly, IEM are detected at newborn screening. Expanded newborn screening, which now includes 34 core conditions, allows for diagnosis in the newborn period and provides the opportunity for early institution of available treatments. However, some newborns present with symptoms consistent with an IEM before the availability of pending newborn screening results or present with symptoms attributable to an IEM not detectable with screening. Such situations are medical emergencies requiring immediate consultation with a metabolic specialist. If a delay occurs in obtaining consultation, initial treatment involves discontinuing feeding and providing high-rate glucose infusions. Some IEM present later in life. Children may develop and present with dysmorphic facial features. In some cases, symptoms may not appear until adolescence or adulthood when patients have residual enzyme activity that allows for slow accumulation of toxic molecules over time. Long-term treatments are effective for some IEM. Treatments include dietary restrictions and enzyme-replacement therapies.
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are genetic conditions that block metabolic pathways involved in the breakdown of nutrients and the generation of energy. Perturbation of these metabolic pathways results in a spectrum of clinical findings affecting multiple organ systems. The diagnosis of IEM is challenging because the clinical presentation is often nonspecific; however, more IEM are now included in recommended newborn screening, which helps for early diagnosis. Therefore, knowledge of IEM has become essential for physicians. Although individual IEM are rare, the combined incidence is 1 out of every 1,500 births.1 This review discusses IEM disorders from preconception to adulthood.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has classified expanded carrier screening as an acceptable pre-pregnancy and prenatal screening strategy for all patients. Expanded screening refers to concurrently screening for as many as several hundred conditions, including both IEM and non-IEM.
The initial treatment for all newborns and children with a suspected IEM comprises ending the buildup of toxic metabolites by discontinuing feeds and by preventing catabolism by giving glucose at a high infusion rate (5 to 10 g per kg per hour).
The option of carrier screening for IEM should be discussed when providing preconception counseling to women considering pregnancy.
Newborn screening is recommended for 34 disorders, including 25 IEM.
An IEM disorder should always be considered in the differential diagnosis in infants being evaluated or treated for suspected infection, especially if the infant does not respond to antibiotics as expected.
Physicians should consult with a metabolic specialist on an emergency basis upon diagnosis of IEM in a newborn.
The ACMG ACTion (ACT) sheets and algorithms should be used to further determine appropriate action after a positive newborn screen, particularly if there is a delay in contacting a metabolic specialist.
ACMG = American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics; IEM = inborn errors of metabolism.

Home NEWS GADGETS First Look : MICROSOFT 10X
First Look : MICROSOFT 10X
Microsoft had released its first emulator for Windows 10X, which allows the developers to get a first look at the very new operating system, which is also variant for the dual-screen devices. Microsoft gives the developers a head start on the optimizing apps before the launch of the devices this year, so this fundamental feature of the emulator provides an early look at the Windows 10X before the finalizing of this emulator.
According to the previews, the windows 10x feels like a more modern version of Windows 10, which has now been cleaned up for future devices. The latest windows 10x have been designed for the foldable devices and the dual-screen hardware, and Microsoft has customized it as a result. The start menu is one of the most significant noticeable changes in the new Windows 10x. It now includes a few more simplifies look, unlike the live tile look of the earlier versions.
START MENU
The start menu of windows 10x includes the apps that the user can pin in place and can, which can be listed in the recent documents. Now the start menu of the new windows 10x will more look like a task launcher than what it used to exist in the windows 10. The user can easily search for apps, documents, or even web content; the new version of windows 10x will also support the necessary voice input. Now Cortana will not be there in the original text, not even in the settings.
Apart from the new start menu, windows 10x are somehow similar to windows 10. The dark and light modes are also there to choose from the visually, but the extreme change which you can see in UX changes in windows 10x can be found in the way you multitask with apps. In windows 10x, you don't have merely floating apps anywhere on a screen, unlike windows 10. Apps now open by default on a single screen, and the user can drag them across the dual displays with the mouse or touch to have them completely stretch and span across the dual-screen devices.
Microsoft has now made the use of the gestures for multitasking, and few of them seem similar to what has been seen in the earlier versions of Windows ten and Windows 8. Instead of that, there are tiny minimizes and close buttons, which occasionally feel tricky to touch in windows 10x. Now speaking of gestures, swipe up from the bottom of the display, which accesses the start menu or the list of running apps on the taskbar. The user can also access an updated action center from the toolbar, which includes quick access to settings like volume, brightness, Bluetooth, rotation lock, and much more.
TASK VIEW
Task View, which allows the user to see the apps running on the Windows 10x, has also been updated, and the user can use it to summarize the apps on a particular display. The very fantastic feature of windows 10x is that if you right-click on the desktop, you'll get the function to change a background in settings, and no app icons or the documents are to be stored in it. In the same way, the traditional file explorer has been replaced with a modern file explorer, which will be a guide to the windows 10x users towards the libraries on content and will support the external devices for file transfers.
WONDER BAR
Wonder Bar is another new addition inside the windows 10x. It has been designed to place above or below a hardware keyboard, or it will appear as part of the software keyboard in the OS. It is similar to that of the MacBook's touch bar, which provides luxurious input options like GIFs or emoji and also the software trackpad.
All in all, the new windows 10x is in its early stage, which will now be more refined and modern. It also seems a little bit locked down and tweaked. Microsoft does not plan to ship the OS until later this year.
Overall, Windows 10X, in its current early state, feels like a more refined and modern version of Windows 10. It also feels a little bit more locked down and tweaked, but still unmistakably Windows 10. This is only a very early copy of Windows 10X, and it's running in a primary emulator right now, and Microsoft doesn't plan to ship the OS until later this year.

SWEETHEART BY SARAH MAYBERRY

Share this page: https://hearteyespress.com/wotn#/busy-bean/
Cover Design: Elle Maxwell Designs
I just wanted to get my hands on his beans
Four years ago, I had a ridiculous crush on my sister's boyfriend. But when they moved away together, I put Beck out of my mind and my heart. But now he's back, and roasting the best coffee in Vermont. I need to convince him to supply the Busy Bean. And I need more of those kisses we accidentally shared outside the coffee shop. He still makes my heart race faster than a triple shot of espresso.
She should be off limits, but instead she's pushing mine
Her sister burned my life to the ground, so Haley Elliot is the last woman I should bring into my bed. Although our business relationship is giving way to something more than a fine grind. Neither of us can help ourselves. And what's worse, I think I'm falling for her.
But it's a small town, and ours is a big secret. And when her sister blows back into town, suddenly the coffee isn't the only thing brewing…
COWBOY BY L.B. DUNBAR
Add to Goodreads here: https://bit.ly/34Ax3To
Pregnant at forty-two? Back the cow up…
Harland Bull Eaton has lost many things—his first wife, his beloved mother, those three women he proposed to . . . Oh, and there was that time he almost lost the family dairy farm due to a scandal. He's losing faith in just about everything, especially love.
But one night, his friends give him a dare. No commitments. No heartbreak. Just buy that gorgeous redhead a drink. The big-city bombshell he's set his eyes on swirls him into a tailspin that lands them in bed for a one-night stand he's pretty sure he'll never forget. But this time, he swears, he won't let his heart ride herd on his common sense.
Recently separated and newly unemployed, Scarlett Russell is at a crossroads. With no other plan than visiting a friend in Vermont, the last thing she expects is a hunky, silver fox offering to buy her a drink. Even less expected is when she raises that offer to "take me to bed, cowboy." She just wants one night to forget everything gone wrong.
Turns out once won't be nearly enough. Won't ever be enough, feeling the way she does. But secrets and an unexpected surprise are a lot to handle . . . unless these two can break a trail to an unexpected happily ever after.
CAKEWALK BY CLAIRE HASTINGS
Add to Goodreads here: https://bit.ly/3mPaQqR
Love isn't always a cakewalk …
Gigi Hawthorne is starting from scratch. She just didn't realize until her crappy car broke down that she was going to be doing it in a small town in Vermont. With an eye for design and some serious decorating skills, she's managed to land a job making delectable treats for the patrons of the Busy Bean. Now she's up to her elbows in sugar and flour, but her thoughts are never far from her gorgeous, brooding landlord.
Holden St. James swears he isn't a recluse. He goes to the local coffee shop three times a week, doesn't he? Yeah, maybe he never actually talks to anyone, but with a backstory of loss, pain, and regret like his, he's pretty sure he wouldn't be very good company anyway. Yet something about his new tenant makes him wonder if maybe it's time to let someone open the oven door and release a little heat into his closed-off world.
But both are hiding secrets as dark as an espresso mocha cupcake and they're not sure if they can trust each other. Will the truth break their delicate relationship into sad, sweet crumbs–or will it turn out to be the key ingredient in the recipe for a new life?
Cover Reveal – DECIDEDLY WITH LUCK by Stina Lindenblatt
Masquerade ball rule #1: what happens at the ball doesn't always stay at the ball.
A chance encounter with a masked stranger at a charity ball led to an incredible kiss and a night of hot sex. The kiss was my goal for that night, a baby step forward after my husband's death a year ago. The hot sex? Not so much.
You know what else hadn't been my goal?
To be knocked up by a man whose identity is a mystery to me.
So now I'm preparing for my impending motherhood and planning a fundraiser to provide books for foster kids.
The latter is where hot hockey player Logan Mathews comes in…
The last time I saw Kiera Ashdown was the night of the Jingle Balls masquerade ball. She'd wanted her first time with a man after her husband's death to be with a stranger.
After my NHL team trades me to San Francisco, where my daughter and ex-wife live, I'm determined to be a better father and not repeat past mistakes. My hockey career and my daughter come first.
The last thing I expect to discover is that Kiera is my seven-year-old daughter's teacher. The last thing I expect to learn is that she's pregnant with my dead best friend's child.
And the last thing I want to admit is that I was the one who made love to Kiera—several times—the night of the ball.
Because if she ever found out that I'd lied to her, I could lose her friendship. I could lose so much more…
Decidedly with Luck is a standalone romance. All the books in the series can be read in any order.

Blog Tour – FANTASY FOR HIRE by Erika Wilde
December 16, 2020 / travelsnreads	/ Leave a comment
Falling in love was never part of the deal.
Fantasy for Hire, an all-new steamy romance with sizzling hot chemistry from New York Times bestselling author Erika Wilde is available now!
Austin McBride's business is all about fulfilling women's fantasies, but gorgeous, sexy Teddy Spencer has him doing some fantasizing of his own. Especially when she hires him to play the role of her adoring, hands-on significant other to waylay her boss's unwanted advances.
But what starts as a casual, sexy arrangement quickly evolves into an emotional connection neither one of them anticipates. Falling in love was never part of the deal, but you know what they say about best laid plans . . .

Once they were seated next to each other, Austin glanced at her and smiled. "So, what can I do for you, Teddy Spencer?"
The answers that filled her mind were shameless, and she gave herself a firm mental shake that knocked those naughty thoughts out of commission. "I have a problem, and I'm hoping you can help me out."
Currently, her problem seemed to be her inability to think straight while those sexier-than-sin eyes were trained on her. "I need a fantasy…" Startled that such a reckless request could tumble from her lips, she grappled for another line. "I mean, I need a fiancé…" She groaned at her blunder, felt the rising warmth in her cheeks, and didn't trust herself to speak further.
His grin turned a bit more wicked, giving her the distinct impression he was enjoying her slip of the tongue. "The fantasy I could help you out with, since I have plenty of experience in that area, but I'm afraid being your fiancé is out of the question. I hardly know you."
The humorous note to his voice made her relax. She leaned back in her chair, wiped her damp palms on her black denim jeans and decided to try again. For all her business savvy with clients, she was beginning to sound like a bungling idiot with the one man who could help her pave the way to a smooth future with Sharper Image.
"Let me try this again," she said, drawing a deep, calming breath. "I need someone to pose as my steady boyfriend and escort me to a party."
He stared at her, the enjoyment of the previous moment fading from his expression. "I don't run an escort service."
The disapproving edge to his voice was enough to alert her she'd crossed a professional line with him. "Of course you don't," she amended hastily. "I never meant to imply that you did, but isn't it at all possible that I could hire you for a few hours? You do hire out by the hour, don't you?"
The words, once they were out, sounded like an indecent proposal.

Meet Kristy
New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg writes contemporary romance novels that contain a mixture of sweet, emotional, a whole lot of sexy, and a little bit of real. She likes to write strong heroines and damaged heroes who we love to hate but can't help to love.
A mom of three, she plots her novels in between school runs and soccer practices, more often than not with her laptop in tow and her mind scattered in too many different directions.

Her Driven trilogy (Driven, Fueled, and Crashed) is currently being adapted for film by the streaming platform, Passionflix, with the first movie (Driven) out now.
With her imagination always in overdrive, she is currently scheming, plotting, and swooning over her latest hero.

Release Blitz – HARD TO HOLD by K. Bromberg
December 1, 2020 December 2, 2020 / travelsnreads	/ Leave a comment
Rush McKenzie is a bad boy soccer player who's running from a scandal. Lennox Kincade is an ex-beauty queen who's trying to revamp her reputation.
What starts as a bit of fun, ends with something they never saw coming.
Hard to Hold by K. Bromberg is now live!
New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg, is back with a heartfelt, standalone romance
and a new hero to steal your heart . . .
The contract with Major League Soccer was supposed to help repair my damaged reputation.
Then I discovered that I'd made a deal with the devil: the player I'm supposed to recruit is none
other than the bad boy, star Premier League footballer, Rush McKenzie.
British. Tattooed. Sexy. A man currently at the center of a huge scandal.
The goal? To convince him to stay in the States.
But what's wrong with a little fun in the meantime? No strings. No sweet nothings. Just a way
to pass the time while we're both struggling to prove our true selves to the world.
If someone found out our relationship was anything more than professional, it would only serve
to prove all our critics right.
I never should have agreed to take the fall.
But I did and I'm a man of my word.
Even if it means risking everything I've worked for.
The only bright side is Lennox Kincade.
Gorgeous. Defiant. Rumor-tainted. Totally off-limits.
Sharing a house with the gorgeous sports agent should have been a fun distraction from the
turmoil. Someone to help pass the time while the tensions back home die down.
But what started as nothing, ends up as something I never saw coming.

Release Day – LOVERBOY by Sarina Bowen
CREDITS: Photo by Wander Aguiar, Design by Hang Le
Secrets, desires, and exquisite pie. It's all in a day's work at The Company.
Growing up, I was the rough guy from the wrong neighborhood who couldn't catch a break. Posy was the pampered girl I tried to impress. But I managed to steal only a single kiss before I had to skip town.
Now I'm back, and the tables are turned. Posy runs a struggling pie shop. I'm the VP of a secretive billion dollar security company.
Not that I can tell her.
There's a murderer on the loose in New York, and he seems to spend a lot of time at Posy's shop. I can't let on that I'm here to bring him down before he can harm a hair on her pretty head.
Going undercover as Posy's new barista wasn't my idea. I don't even drink coffee. But now I have to call her "boss," and do everything the curvy perfectionist asks of me. I'd forgotten how much we infuriate each other, and that she somehow fills me with both irritation and desire in the same breath.
There's nobody more skilled at stealth ops than me. I can bring this killer down. Right after I take a cold shower. And just as soon as I figure out how to make a skinny peppermint latte with milk poured in the shape of a kitten…

Earlier, I'd spotted him even before he came into the bar. I watched him get out of that cab and then check the time. I saw him look toward the pub, weighing his choices.
My heart had thumped along with only one word. Please.
Fine—not my heart. It was other parts of me who were doing all the begging. Silently, of course. Speaking up seems impossible right now. What if he laughs in my face? Or—this might even be worse—what if he says yes? And then we get naked and I can't satisfy him?
You're not very adventurous, Spalding said. You're not very good in bed.
My ex is the only person I've ever been naked with. And thanks to him, I'm afraid to try again with someone else. If another man tells me I'm no fun, I don't know how I'd come back from that.
On the other hand, if I don't get out of this rut, then Spalding wins. Maybe I sound melodramatic, but I don't want to die before I experience terrific sex.
It's really no surprise that my drink disappears quickly.
"Look, you don't have to tell me what's on your mind," Gunnar muses, and I realize I've been silent for some time. "But something has you deep in thought."
"Rhubarb," I blurt. "It's, uh, something I've used in springtime pies. But, um, I wonder if I could do better than strawberry rhubarb—that's been done, you know?"
His smile widens. "Is that an occupational hazard? You can't eat or drink anything without reconfiguring it in your mind?"
"Yep." I wave at the bartender. "Another round of these if you wouldn't mind."
"Are you trying to get me drunk?" Gunnar asks. "Please say yes."
My pulse picks up, because it's hard to miss the innuendo there. But I dodge the question, because I've never been brave. "As if two cocktails and a beer would put you under my spell."
"Oh, I'm easy," Gunnar says, giving me an intentionally sleazy wink. "Besides, your pies have already made me slow and agreeable. That key lime and Thai basil pie was amazing. That stuff is dangerous."
"You like my key lime and Thai basil?" I ask, hearing pleasure in my own voice. It never gets old when people tell you how much they like the product. "And I guess it figures that you'd be one of those."
"You have an adventurous palate." I prop an elbow on the bar and try to explain. "People fall into two distinct groups. There're the ones who always order the weird flavors. And the Dutch apple pie crew, who always stick to the basics. They don't cross over. It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately."
Thanks to Spalding. He basically accused me of being a Dutch apple pie in bed. The whole reason I'm reading my sister's romance novels is to try to learn what the other flavors are like.
"Huh," Gunnar says. "So, you can just guess which other pies I've tried?"
"Sure, I can. Did you try the pine nut and salted honey?"
"Oh, hell yes."
My smile grows wide. "How about the matcha green tea tart?"
"Well," he shakes his head, "I gotta say I haven't quite gone there yet. But I did enjoy the vinegar date pie."
"Ah! And the ginger mango cream, right?" I press.
"Yeah. Does that make me predictable?"
"A little bit," I say, enjoying myself immensely. "Have you started doing that thing where you try to guess each customer's guilty pleasure?"
He laughs. "Get out of my head. It's my new favorite game."
"How's your accuracy?"
"Pretty bad. I started off trying to use clothing as a clue. I expected somebody wearing a navy blue suit and boring shoes to order the apple crumble. But that theory bombed. And then I tried to assume that people in workout clothes wouldn't pick something sugary. But they totally do."
"You have to look deep inside their souls," I tease. "If you look at the shell of a person, you'll never get their pie order right. In fact, you have to look at their auras."
He snorts. "What color is my aura?"
"Indigo, like tattoo ink. But with a streak of red because you're contrary."
He narrows his eyes. "You're just fucking with me now."
"Maybe I am."
"Okay, lady. But I have an issue with something you said earlier."
"Guilty pleasures." He lays a hand over my wrist. "I don't believe in those. I don't think pleasure should make you feel guilty."
"Oh." He's barely touching me, but goosebumps run up my arm anyway. Now would be a great time to make a joke and diffuse all the tension I'm suddenly feeling. But I feel too tongue-tied to pull it off.
Gunnar removes his hand, which is a disappointment. But the next thing he says stuns me back into goosebump territory. "You know, I always had it bad for you."
"You … what?" I ask stupidly.
"Back when we were tending bar, I had a big crush on you. And sometimes I thought you were on the same page. I usually have good instincts about these things. But not that time. You ended up with Mr. Pretty Boy Preppy instead."
My heart is thumping wildly now, and I take a sip of my cocktail to steady my nerves. The truth is that I don't really trust this little revelation. We used to annoy each other, for one thing. But maybe that didn't matter to Gunnar's libido. He was a horny college boy. He probably had it bad for all the girls.
Still. "What if I'm the one who has terrible instincts? Did you ever think of that? And did you miss the part where I divorced Mr. Preppy?"
"Mmm," he says thoughtfully. "I suppose that might explain a few things."
"You're the one who left, anyway."
His eyes narrow. "Do you really think if I'd stuck around, things would have turned out differently? I spent three months giving you the fuck-me eyes, Paxton. But you didn't take me up on it."
Oh mother of God. His gaze is turning hot, and I think it might incinerate me. And then I remember why we never hooked up in the first place.
Yay! Loverboy is the second in Sarina Bowen's The Company series. After reading Moonlighter I was looking forward to reading more in this series. I loved Gunnar and Posey. Well, I loved everything about Loverboy. There's the perfect mix of chemistry, heat, suspense, and humor. I found myself smiling while reading and didn't want to stop until the very end. I can't wait to see what happens next with The Company.
Release Blitz – WEDDING DATE by Monica Murphy
Wedding Date by Monica Murphy is now live!
Kelsey Phillips is over the dating scene.
All that time and energy perfecting your profile and taking just the right picture and articulating exactly what you're looking for, only to get the same sleazy propositions? No thanks. She's doing just fine on her own, so there's no point in a fruitless hunt for "the one" that doesn't exist.
Besides, she already has the perfect man in her life. Theo is the type of friend who's always there for a laugh, a hug, or a drink– and no propositions.
So when he somehow manages to agree to be a groomsman in his ex-fiance's wedding to his cousin, the least Kelsey can do is be his date.
But why stop at doing the least?
Pretending to be in a relationship is easy. They already know everything about each other. And it sure isn't hard to fake attraction to a guy as gorgeous as Theo. Soon enough, the only pretense left is that they haven't fallen for each other for real… and the very small matter of the secret Kelsey's been keeping. Can a fake relationship survive this real revelation?

Coherus BioSciences stock drops 27% after FDA fails to approve drug
Published: June 12, 2017 at 12:02 p.m. ET
Emma Court
CHRS
Coherus BioSciences Inc. CHRS, +0.36% shares dropped 27.2% to $15.03 in midday trade Monday after the company said that the Food and Drug Administration failed to approve its drug. The drug, CHS-1701, is a biosimilar version of Amgen Inc.'s Neulasta AMGN, +1.95%, which helps prevent infections for patients receiving chemotherapy. The FDA asked for a sample reanalysis and "certain additional manufacturing related process information," but did not ask the company to do a clinical study, Coherus said. The company said that the information requests would probably cause a delay to market of about 13 months, but it plans to work with the FDA to get CHS-1701 approved. Biosimilar drugs are expected to bring down drug prices and save the U.S. health care system billions of dollars, but few biosimilars have been approved since the FDA created a pathway for approval seven years ago. Coherus shares have dropped 36.1% over the last three months, compared with a 2.2% rise in the S&P 500 SPX, +0.08%.
Shares of Peloton Interactive Inc. extended their plunge toward a 21-month low Friday, after Nasdaq said it was booting the at-home fitness company from its Nasdaq-100 Index just 13 months after it was added.

Vietnamese chicken and noodle salad.
Chinese cabbage is elongated in shape with a crisp, crinkly, pale-green leaf.
1. Put 1 litre water and the kaffir lime leaves in a medium saucepan over medium–high heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the chicken, cover and simmer for 8–10 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove from the heat and leave the chicken in the poaching liquid for 10 minutes. Drain. Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken.
2. Put the noodles in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and set aside for 2–3 minutes or until tender. Drain. Rinse under cold water, and drain.
3. To make the chilli dressing, put the sauces, lime juice, oil and garlic in a small bowl and whisk until well combined.
4. Combine the capsicum, carrot, snow peas, Chinese cabbage, spring onions, bean sprouts, half the herbs, the noodles and chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine. Serve the salad sprinkled with the remaining herbs and the nuts.
