Government agrees to waive use of money interest
The Government has agreed to allow use of money interest on late tax payments to be waived for Canterbury earthquake victims. See the Minister's media release.
Hon Peter Dunne
Dunne: IRD can waive quake victims' late tax interest
Inland Revenue has been given the power to waive interest on late tax payments for Canterbury earthquake victims, Revenue Minister Peter Dunne announced today.
"Tax affairs may be the last thing on quake victims' minds at a time like this, but at least we can make it one less thing for them to worry about," Mr Dunne said.
He said Cabinet had yesterday agreed to an Order in Council allowing 'use of money' interest payable on late payment of tax to be waived during emergencies.
Use of money interest is routinely charged on late tax payments, but he said the change was essentially about acknowledging that many people couldn't meet their tax obligations for reasons beyond their control.
"For instance they may have been unable to get into their buildings or records have been destroyed, or it might be that personal circumstances prevented them from paying on time" Mr Dunne said.
The interest waiver will apply to all interest charged by Inland Revenue to those who were prevented from paying on time.
He said that the department's Christchurch office was back in operation and that people could contact Inland Revenue if they had any concerns.
An Inland Revenue Disaster Response line has also been set up on 0800 473 566.
Further information for people affected by the earthquake is available on Inland Revenue's website www.ird.govt.nz.

All The Tr…
Desk Jockey
Joining All The Tropes Wiki is free, and it only takes a minute.
{{trope}} {{quote|''Stick close to your desk and never go to sea.''
 ''And you all may be Rulers of the Queen's Navee!''|'''[[Gilbert and Sullivan|HMS Pinafore]]''' }} {{quote|''"Twinkle twinkle little shield, save me from the battlefield!"''|'''Common US Army joke''' re: the Adjutant General's Corps (whose branch emblem is a shield)}} A character in the military, police, or other action-oriented field who has been promoted to the rank of inaction or whose career path is oriented towards bureaucratic support of the boots on the ground. The character may only rarely be seen by the camera, since his or her job is [[Boring but Practical]]: to make operations in the field run smooth, rather than engage in flashy heroics. The [[Desk Jockey]] may be derided by other characters or viewers as an [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] who is [[Non-Action Guy|too far removed from the action]] to understand and accommodate the needs of the people he or she is supporting. They may [[Ungrateful Bastard|catch a lot of flak]] for [[Miser Advisor|pinching pennies]] on necessary but expensive equipment while forcing the ground-pounders to kowtow to impractical and unrealistic institutional regulations. Commonly found [[Adminisphere|piloting desks in the cubicle farms behind the scenes]] of [[Action Series]], since a serial of any significant length can afford to introduce these characters if a [[Lower Deck Episode]] is necessary for budgetary concerns. If they get [[A Day in the Limelight]], expect them to be made victim of the same kind of danger and violence that the rest of the cast face and either become the [[Badass Unintentional]], the [[Action Survivor]], or the [[Damsel in Distress]], depending on the needs of the plot (and not necessarily their [[Backstory]]; even if they're a [[Retired Badass]], they may be handed a [[Distress Ball]] anyway). Differs from [[Kicked Upstairs]] in that the character may actually have been a competent [[Action Hero]] in his/her youth but couldn't avoid getting promoted on considerable merit. Some heroes will do anything it takes to persuade their superiors not to promote them, as examples will show. Related tropes are [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]], [[Victory Is Boring]], [[Let's Get Dangerous]] (the [[Desk Jockey]] is a classic candidate for this trope), [[Four-Star Badass]] (for direct aversion), and [[Authority Equals Asskicking]] or the more specific [[Badass Bureaucrat]] (for direct inversion). Has nothing to do with [[Driving a Desk]]. In [[Real Life]] [[Truth in Television|military parlance]], a [[Desk Jockey]] might be known also as an REMF [[Soldiers At the Rear|"rear-echelon motherfucker"]], a "pogue" (etymology uncertain, though the usual story is that it comes from the Irish for "kiss my ass," but now [[Fun with Acronyms|backronymed]] to Person Other than Grunt), or a "fobbit" (someone who never leaves their Forward Operating Base). {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * Hayate and Reinforce are mostly confined to desk jobs in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]''. It's ''safer'' that way, since they both qualify for the [[Person of Mass Destruction]] trope. ** They seem to have returned to the battlefield in ''[[Nanoha Force]]'' {{spoiler|but Hayate's first CMOA in that series went awry and she got stabbed in process}}. * This is how Light Yagami spends most of his time across the arc of ''[[Death Note]]''. He spends almost a year dealing with L, and six months dealing with Mello and Near, and in between he sits at a desk pretending to be L and misleading the Kira taskforce for ''five years''. Even when the rest of them go off to blow shit up, Light's still at his desk. [[Victory Is Boring]]. ** Not counting his [[The Vamp|undercover]] [[Evil Is Sexy|investigation]] with Takada, the first time we see him get out is the final confrontation with Near. {{spoiler|[[Death Is Dramatic|It doesn't go well]].}} == [[Comics]] == * Salaakk of the Green Lantern Corps handles the day-to-day operations while the Guardians of the Universe focuses on the big stuff. However, he has shown he can fight when the situation demands it. == [[Film]] == * Mr. Incredible of ''[[The Incredibles]]'' was forced into mundane work after excessive lawsuits forced the government to set up a legal protection program for supers. He spent his free time listening to police scanners and indulging in small acts of illicit heroism until someone finally [[Call to Adventure|offered him a chance to go legit]]. His family was relocated several times because he got caught and in the story he's an insurance claims adjuster (in which he also tries being heroic, [[Could Say It, But...|(not)]] telling an old lady how to avoid excessive bureaucracy). * In the original ''[[Die Hard]]'' movie, John McClane and Sergeant Al Powell have a conversation that jokingly derides desk jockey cops, up until Powell reveals why he's now a desk jockey instead of patrolling the streets: because he made the horrible mistake of shooting a kid with a fake gun. [[Let's Get Dangerous|He still proves he can get the job done]] when [[The Dragon|Karl]] [[Dragon Their Feet|comes back from the dead for one last shot at McClane]]. ** The second movie then shows that he's still in the desk job. Of course, it's better paying and safer than a beat cop job. * Specialist Grimes in ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' asks to participate in a mission. He complains that the only reason he's a desk jockey is because he knows how to type and that he was a veteran of Desert Storm and Panama, but in those operations, all he ever did was make coffee. ** When he ''does'' finally see action, of course, it is when the entire operation goes pear-shaped. He proves quite capable, though he he manages to both be a member of a [[Badass Army]] ''and'' an [[Action Survivor]]. It's the rare [[Action Survivor]] that ''starts'' the action carrying a grenade launcher. * Jack Ryan in ''[[The Hunt for Red October]]'' is a heroic desk jockey that becomes a [[Badass Unintentional]]. * In [[Flight of the Intruder]], the Duty Officers and the Intel Officer. * Averted with [[Butt Monkey|Corporal Upham]] in ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]'' - he was ''planning'' on staying safely behind lines doing translation and cartography... {{quote| '''Cpl Upham''': "I haven't held a weapon since basic training, sir"
 '''Capt. Miller''': " Did you fire the weapon in training?"
 '''Upham''': "Yes, sir"
 '''Miller''': "Then get your gear." }} * Allen in ''[[The Other Guys]]'' chose the most stable and dull job he could think of in the police force, 'forensic accounting', to try to avoid the 'craziness' of {{spoiler|his old days as a pimp. It doesn't work.}} == [[Literature]] == * When Captain Vimes of the [[Discworld|Night Watch]] was promoted to Commander, he proceeded to spend much time and effort resisting this trope. * In one of the ''[[Foundation]]'' books one of the Emperor's gardeners gets promoted against his will to head gardener; he feels the promotion will take him away from his beloved gardening and make a desk jockey out of him (he's right). {{spoiler|He assassinates the Emperor over it.}} * In the [[X Wing Series]], Wedge Antilles resists being promoted to General because he wants to stay a pilot rather than get stuck behind a desk. He finally relents when he finds out that his underlings have started refusing ''their'' [[Limited Advancement Opportunities|promotions]] for the same reasons, and he doesn't want to impede their careers (or bring about the total collapse of the New Republic's rank system). ** Also, he has a job coming on that requires him to pull rank. Thus, he needs rank to pull! ** Sure enough, said promotion eventually results in him being pulled out of the cockpit. They give him a Super Star Destroyer to command instead. * This trope is pointed out in [[David Drake]]'s RCN series. As the captain of a frigate Daniel Leary has seen more combat than most fleet admirals. * [[Double Subversion]] in [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Starship Troopers (novel)|Starship Troopers]]'': One motto of the Mobile Infantry is "everybody drops, everybody fights" -- everybody has combat duty, and any support job that can be done by civilians is. In practice, this means that the officers are forced to juggle ''multiple'' desk jobs in between drops. ** It is mentioned that some desk jobs are filled by people who want to serve, but are physically limited in their capabilities. For example, when Johnny goes to sign up for military service, the officer running the desk is missing an arm, a leg, and an eye. Having him in this position serves the double purpose of giving him somewhere to serve, and reminding potential recruits the dangers they're signing up for. * ''[[Honor Harrington]]'': {{spoiler|Honor Harrington}} is currently commanding Home Fleet, which [[Captain Obvious|stays home and doesn't go anywhere.]] If it wasnt for the ensuing Mesan surprise attack, that would take her out of the real action, which is why Henke and the Saganami group have been brought into the limelight; to take over from {{spoiler|Honor}} as the "out there wuppin ass" group from Manticore. * Starting with ''[[Rainbow Six (novel)|Rainbow Six]]'', John Clark bemoans his status as a desk jockey, despite acknowledging that he can't physically keep up with the special force troopers under his command. To be fair, he's already in his senior years, about to be a grandfather, and up against very elite special forces troops that are in their primes. * Holly Short of ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'' was initially going to turn down her promotion to Major because she didn't want to be taken out of the field. Just before she is about to officially turn down the position to [[Da Chief|Commander Root]], he preemptively tells her about when ''he'' was on the verge of being promoted to Major and tried to turn it down, to which his Commander responded "this promotion isn't for you, it's for the People". Having convinced her to accept the job, he consoles her with the fact that Majors can occasionally assign minor missions to themselves. ** Root himself, of course. He does occasionally go out on missions of particular importance (such as locating a field officer captured by humans) or unofficial ones (Root was unwilling to command any of his officers to take part in a mission as repayment for Artemis), and insists on personally examining prospective recruits. * ''[[Flight of the Intruder]]'', The Intel officer, obviously, as his job doesn't involve flying, and it is pointed out that at least a few of the Duty Officers are aviators who were removed from flying status for one reason or another, temporarily or permanently as the case may be. * In ''[[Matthew Reilly|Area 7]]'', Colonel Hagerty (call sign "Hotrod", but better known as "[[Ass Shove|Ramrod]]") is an obstructionist bureaucrat, and also the commanding officer during the book. Luckily, the President was around to make him shut up and listen to the people who actually know what they're doing in a battle. * In ''[[Rivers of London]] fresh out of training PC Peter Grant is dismayed to find that he is being given a desk job in the police force, however an encounter with a ghost (and ghost-hunting DCI Nightingale) gets him transferred to the police's supernatural crimes department. ** Played with in that his colleague WPC Lesley May, also fresh out of training, is posted to the glamorous homicide department, and ends up doing their data entry. == [[Live Action TV]] == * [[Star Trek|Starfleet]] admirals are almost never seen in action. When James Kirk gets promoted to admiral, he hates being confined to a desk and does his level best to get either demoted back into action or kicked out. ** Picard explicitly states that he will always refuse to be an Admiral, even though he's far more qualified than most Admirals, because he wants to avoid this. ** Admiral Ross from ''[[Deep Space 9]]'' is just about the only exception to this trope, but only because he's in command of a Federation fleet during a full-blown war. Admiral Hanson is another exception, but that didn't turn out too well. ** In the finale episodes of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'', Admiral Riker is sailing around in the fleet's flagship, but that probably winds up never happening in the actual continuity. ** In "The Deadly Years", Commodore Stocker is one of these. In fact, it's specifically mentioned he's never held a field command in his life. This causes trouble when he takes the conn and accidentally crosses the Romulan Neutral Zone. ** Crewman Mortimer Harren on ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek Voyager]]'' is an example of this on the other end of the rank scale - he only joined Starfleet because he needed a year's experience in practical cosmological study to attend a specific scientific institute. Once he got stranded in the Delta Quadrant, he does everything he can to be given the least amount of work possible and refuses any sort of away mission. * [[Stargate]]'s SGC Generals spend much of their screen time at paper-laden desks. Colonel O'Neill achieved promotion to General so his actor Richard Dean Anderson could spend less time on camera and more with his family. ** On the other hand, in Teal'c's flashbacks as First Prime to Apophis, he averts this (although these aversions may be the exception and not the rule). *** The pattern seems to be that First Primes (like Teal'c) lead from the front, and desk work posts are filled by minor Goa'uld. * British cop show ''[[The Bill]]'' used to delight in these. In one notable example, Chief Inspector Derek Conway's whole purpose in the series was to never leave the police station (he seldom even got involved in actual cases), but he was still seen in the series because it wanted to accurately represent the rank structure of a genuine police station, and Chief Inspectors are part of that. 14 years after his introduction to the series, a new production team came along and decided he fulfilled no dramatic function in television terms (his role was ''too'' desk bound, apparently). So they put him in a parked car and blew it up. They never did replace him... ** DCI/Superintendent Jack Meadows still qualifies as this. Most of the ground work is done by his Detective Inspector, who then heads back to the office and reports it to him. * In ''[[M*A*S*H|Mash]]'', Father Mulcahy has a famous episode where a patient refuses to talk with him because he has no field experience since he was the camp chaplain. Mulcahy asks Col. Potter if he could spend some time on the front to fix that, but Potter refuses saying that no commander nowadays will tolerate having a soldier in the field who is forbidden by regulations to fight. Regardless, Mulcahy sneaks away anyway on an errand with Radar to the front and has a memorable experience having to perform an emergency tracheotomy under enemy fire with Hawkeye guiding him on the radio. As a result, the patient is impressed that the Padre had now just enough battle experience for any front line soldier to respect him. ** Another episode has Colonel Potter becoming afraid of being shipped back home to be a desk jockey. * ''[[Band of Brothers (TV series)|Band of Brothers]]'' notes this a few times: ** Pvt. Vest is seen delivering mail throughout the series. In episode 8 he requests the opportunity to join a dangerous patrol, which gives him the chance to learn truly that [[War Is Hell]]. ** Capt. Winters is eventually promoted to the point where he has a desk in episode 5. Several times he is tempted to get back into the action. *** At one point, Winters must be given a direct order NOT to join the action by Colonel Sink. ** Capt. Nixon, despite his three combat jumps, reveals in episode 9 that he had never fired his weapon in combat. For much of the series he is the intelligence officer. ** Second Lieutenant Jones joins Easy Company near the end of the war and desperately wants to get some combat experience. He eventually gets to participate in a night raid just before Easy Company is pulled from the line. *** And is subsequently [[Kicked Upstairs|promoted to First Lieutenant and given a desk position in Batallion]]. ** [[The Neidermeyer|Captain Sobel]] also qualifies. Although he was in charge of Easy Company and trained them for two years, he never saw combat. When Easy Company went to combat, he was given a training role, then became a supply officer. ** Actually, Sobel was awarded a Combat Infantryman's Badge (given to soldiers who face enemy fire) and was wounded by an enemy machine gun in Normandy. * Stark from ''[[Eureka]]'' is the administrator of Global Dynamics. When Henry tells him his brilliance is being wasted as a desk jockey, Stark points out that he's much more valuable where he is, being the person that makes their cutting edge research happen with as little interference as possible. ** Notably, when Stark is no longer in control of GD, there is a ''lot'' more interference from outside sources such as the Pentagon. * General Melchett (a superior officer who is geniunely clueless about what's going on at the Front) and Captain Darling (a [[Desk Jockey]] of the same rank as the main character, who ''does'' know what it's like at the Front and is glad to be away from it) in ''[[Blackadder]] Goes Forth''. == [[Newspaper Comics]] == * In ''[[Terry and the Pirates]]'', Terry gets a speech from his commanding officer just after he gets his flight status which includes him stressing him treating the US Army's bureaucracy with respect. == [[Theater]] == * "When I was a lad" from [[Gilbert and Sullivan]]'s HMS Pinafore is all about this. How do you get to be the ruler of the Queen's navy? Kick ass at pushing paper and doing not much else! == [[Video Games]] == * In ''[[Metroid|Metroid Prime 2]]'', one character complains about having to stare at a computer screen by a checkpoint, saying that it would never happen to Samus. ** It should be mentioned that said character is [[Be Careful What You Wish For|rather dead when the player encounters her]]. * In ''[[Mass Effect]]'', ex-Spectre candidate Captain David Anderson is confined to a desk job at the beginning of the game, though {{spoiler|you can make him the Human representative in the galaxy in the end}}. Which he laments in the second game. ** [[Player Character|Shepard him- or herself]] subverts this trope pretty well: although executive officers on ships are usually relegated to, well, executive duties (i.e. paperwork), Shepard's background as a special ops soldier means that when shit needs to hit a fan, Shepard's the one for the job. *** This can sometimes be true in [[Real Life]] as well: effective special ops soldiers aren't denied promotions for excelling, so that the high ranking officers in a special ops group are the ones to watch out for. * Most of the color commentators in the ''[[Backyard Sports]]'' series, with the exception of Vinnie the Gooch and [[Replacement Scrappy|Jack Fouler]], were once players but are now confined to watching. Chuck Downfield is basically retired (as he has a charlie horse), but {{spoiler|the others, with the exception of Earl Grey, are [[Secret Character|unlockable players]].}} * There are a few desk jokey in [[Fallout: New Vegas|the New California Republic Army]]: Major Knight is likely the first you will encounter, as he oversees the inexistent traffic through the Mojave outpost, the first NCR base you are likely to visit. == [[Western Animation]] == * In Disney's [[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]] series, [[Colonel Badass|Commander Nebula]] constantly expresses his frustration that his rank forces him to do more paperwork than shooting. {{reflist}}

Q: Questions about first JWST image
Why do the circled galaxies seem to form long circular arcs that surround the white point at the center?
And why do most of the galaxies in this image seem to be facing that same point?
What is in that point?

A: The image is that of distant galaxies being gravitationally lensed by a foreground (though still very distant) cluster of galaxies. The paths of the light from the distant galaxies are bent by the spacetime curvature caused by the mass in the foreground cluster.
The distorted images are those of the background galaxies. The distortions in their shapes tells you something about the distribution of mass in the foreground lensing object. In this case, the distortions are mostly tangential to a central point, which reveals (perhaps unsurprisingly) that the mass in the foreground object has a distribution that is roughly spherically symmetric and concentrated towards a central point, which is marked by a large, dominant, central elliptical galaxy in the image. Careful analysis of the shape and brightness of the distroted galaxies can reveal the relative distribution of "normal", luminous matter and dark matter in the foreground cluster.

Q: Python mechanize: encode cause strange character Here is my code:
import re
import mechanize

br = mechanize.Browser()
br.open("http://www.douban.com/")
print br.title()

what I visit is a Chinese website, but the return title is strange character,
how can I fixed this problem?

A: If you just do br.title() it will give you the unicode string of the special character.
print attempts to display the non-ASCII character by encoding the Unicode string.

A: It is because the charset issue. For example, in Python 3.X:
>>> print("豆瓣".encode("utf8").decode('gbk'))
璞嗙摚

In other words, thte content "豆瓣" from the serive is encoded in charset "utf8". But your client try to display it as charset "gbk". To solve this problem, you need to transfer the content between these two different charsets, such as br.title().encode('gbk').decode("utf8")

Radio presenter Tony Blackburn is to return to the BBC after he was sacked for failing to co-operate fully with the inquiry into Jimmy Savile's reign of abuse at the public broadcaster.
In a statement, the BBC said Blackburn accepted his "period off air" and will return to radio broadcasting next year. He will present an hour-long Radio 2 show on Friday evenings at 7 p.m., as well as local radio show.
He was sacked in February because he "fell short of the standards of evidence" required by Dame Janet Smith in her landmark inquiry into Jimmy Savile's behaviour at the BBC.
Her report contained details of an accusation that Blackburn was among a number of celebrities who seduced a 15-year-old girl in 1971.
During the inquiry, Blackburn had been asked about two conversations that took place between him and BBC executives in 1971 regarding the alleged incident. In evidence to the inquiry, Blackburn denied these conversations took place, but Dame Janet pointed to "documentary evidence" which showed they did.
Blackburn argued that the coroner's inquest at the time did not implicate him in the death and Dame Janet's review "makes no suggestion" that he was guilty of seducing the girl. He threatened to sue the BBC because its decision to terminate his contract had the potential to destroy his career and reputation.
In its statement on Wednesday, the BBC said it "stands by the findings of Dame Janet Smith and the decision it made to take Tony Blackburn off air." It declined to comment further.
Blackburn said: "I do not seek to criticise the BBC for decisions it has made in the past. I have had a difficult year personally, but I'm pleased to be returning to the BBC and can't wait to get behind the mic again."

My recent piece on the folly of moonshot projects caught the eye of a Silicon Valley blogger named Kumar Thangudu (@datarade), who gave me some nice praise. But along with that were some notes of his on other big science projects, and one he targeted was the Human Genome Project, with a sarcastic comment about the paucity of drugs coming from the HGP. Them's fighting words! So I launched a tweet stream his way outlining a number of impacts of HGP on biomedical science, and he was very nice and suggested I write more on that. I'm thinking of a number of angles on the topic, but here goes a bit of nostalgia that I think illustrates a number of points on the topic. Except I'm first going to talk about Escherichia coli, and worse, talk about it before its genome was complete. But that's part of the point.
Chemistry's Periodic Table: A Useful Analogy to a Genome Sequence
Trying to teach people outside of genomics of the huge impact of the genome project can be very difficult. Explanations often require significant technical detail and are imperfect. It's also been long enough that even most persons within biology won't remember what it was like to do genetics or biochemistry or molecular biology before the genome sequencing era (though if you work on an organism that isn't sequenced, you'll still be in that world to some degree). Analogies are always dangerous, because they can be taken too far or important details can be lost. But one imperfect analogy for a genome sequence which I think has value is the periodic table.
Now, one risk in making an analogy is that too few people really understand even its major principles, let alone all the amazing things that sprung from it. This is evident in most of the graphical designs titled "Periodic Table of X", in which the well-known frame of chemistry's table is filled with items of type X with absolutely no order whatsoever. This misses the major point of the table. one of the better such tables I saw was in a hidden corner of a Disney World giftshop, with a periodic table of Disney characters. One column had all ducks, with Donald on top, Daisy down one row and so forth. Another column had all mice: Mickey at the top, then Minnie and then their nephews. I think Goofy and Pluto occupied a column of dogs and dog-like creatures. This is the essence of the periodic table; both the columns and rows have meaning.
But it's better than that: the periodic table engendered a whole series of hypotheses. Perhaps the best known is that it enabled the prediction of elements which hadn't yet been discovered. Not just that elements would be found, but key quantitative properties were predicted, and usually right. This is also a boon to chemistry students; when you see sodium (Na) sitting just below lithium (Li), you know they will have very similar properties, except sodium is heavier and even more willing to shed electrons. Even more interesting (though I've forgotten the details), were cases where properties such as atomic mass were not quite in agreement with theory; these led to identifying further quirks of atomic physics. We're past much of that excitement, but a number of books (such as Oliver Sacks' Uncle Tungsten and Richard Rhodes' Making of the Atomic Bomb) capture the excitement of the time when the periodic table was a roadmap for chemical discovery.
Even more to the theme of this post, the periodic table is computable. That is, if I point to a box on the table one can use general principles and trends to compute a number of useful properties; conversely given certain properties of an unknown element, one can estimate where it goes on the table. Sometimes these are easy computations, and sometimes hard ones. An example of an easy one, which can be taught to very young children, is the number of protons for a given box; it is a simple counting exercise. Others may require fancy quantum theory. There's also functions which are din are not perfectly reversible. For example, knowing the atomic mass of an isotope of a known element enables computing how many neutrons it has (subtract the atomic number from the mass), but since isotopes of different elements can have the same mass, simply knowing the mass of an atom won't let you determine precisely what element it is (though you can narrow the field). I'm sure there are also examples of trapdoor functions, much easier to compute in one direction than the other (a concept I introduced TNG to this weekend), but I'm not enough of a chemist to think of one offhand.
From Protein to Spot and Back Again
When I joined George Church's lab in the summer of 1992, E.coli had only been partially sequenced. A major effort to sequence was slowly getting off the ground, but hadn't yet made progress. George's group had sequenced about 3% of the genome in a particularly unexplored region, which turned out to have few genes of known function (and a quarter century later, sadly, few more worked out). In anticipation of the genome being completed, he and graduate student Andy Link had engaged in an ambitious proteomics project (though I think the word wasn't yet in use).
Imagine all the proteins in a cell such as E.coli; even at that time it was known there would be hundreds if not thousands of them. You'd like to identify them all, and identify how they changed with time and conditions. One approach in 1992 for this problem was a techique called 2D electrophoresis. In this, you first use clever conditions to sort proteins within a gel by the pH in which the protein's charges are all balanced (the isoelectric point, or pI). Then that gel is placed against another gel and run it in a perpendicular direction in conditions in which the proteins sort by size (molecular weight, or MW). In the ideal case each spot (visualized with a stain) on the final gel would be a single protein. Doing this on a broad scale in E.coli was pioneered by Frederick Niehardt, who died this month.
But now you have a lot of spots. You can tell if spots go away or appear or change intensity with changes in conditions, but what are these spots? Well, if you know the sequence of a protein, you can predict the MW and pI. Weight is really easy, but I botched my first attempt at calculating pI. Foolishly, I tried the clever approach of using Newton's method to find the inflection point of the charge vs. pH curve, whereas the simpler (and successful) solution recognizes that you don't need much precision, so simply computing charge at 0.1 pH unit steps from pH 1 to pH 10 will find the pI very quickly and safely.
Ahh, but what if the sequence is wrong? what if the protein has been clipped or modified in some way? Then the spot won't be in the "right" place! But where will it be?
What Andy did, and he did a lot of it, was isolate the spots and then subject them to automated Edman seuqencing. The development of this instrument is described a bit in Luke Timmerman's Lee Hood biography. Edman sequencing uses a cycle of chemical reactions to identify the first amino acid in the protein, then the second and third and so on. Since it is working on an ensemble of molecules with imperfectly complete reactions, in each cycle the signal grows more noisy. Many labs doing this would try to push for really long sequences, but George and Andy realized that for their purpose short ones would usually do -- and were faster and cheaper to boot.
So, imagine a spot comes out as M,I,S,S,A,M,A,N,D,A. That's about enough, if it is perfect, to search through the known E.coli proteins and try to find a match - such as to the shiH gene. Now, when the genome wasn't complete and your sequence didn't hit anything. Well, if you absolutely needed to know you could then back-compute the DNA sequence that would encode that and use that as one primer in a PCR scheme to capture the gene. However, this is a good example of imprecise computation, as because the genetic code is degenerate there are multiple options. The sequence above has two Ms, which is lucky since those have only 1 codon (ATG), but brutally it has two S, which is encoded by 6 codons. E.coli doesn't use all its codons equally, so that can bias the primer design and wobble positions can be filled with mixes of nucleotides, but strictly speaking there are 1x3x6x6x4x1x4x2x2x4=27,648 possible primer sequences (one could pick a substring to make life easier; the final 5 gets it down to only 128 possibilities). Ordering those primers costs time and money, and the experiment is not guaranteed to work the first time (or at all), and might only get part of your gene of interest, requiring a new round of primer design to get the rest.
George counseled the patient approach: wait for the genome to be sequenced. Now that sequence need just be matched to either a lookup table of predicted proteins, or if you want just searched directly against the 6-frame translations of the entire DNA sequence (using a program such as TBLASTN). Comparing against the predicted proteins is particularly useful, since that is a test on the predictions; did they find the protein and nail the N-terminus? This can be tricky, as bacteria can use a number of possible start codons (generally some choice out of CTG, TTG and GTG atop the canonical ATG), plus there can be processing of a protein at the N-terminus. For example, several signals for sorting a protein to the correct location are N-terminal and can be removed once the protein is at its permanent home. Note that in the case of significant processing, the protein almost certainly will not be at the spot on the gel which would be predicted from the raw sequence.
Now, sometimes a more complex result would come out of the Edman sequencer. (M,I),(I,S),S,(A,S),(A,M),(A,M),(A,N),(D,N),(D,A),(D,A). This indicates that the spot wasn't pure; there was more than one protein in the sample. At many positions, two (sometimes three or more) amino acids come out, but there is no way to tell which go together. Or is there? If we assume two proteins present, there are 256 possible pairs of sequences there; good luck designing PCR primers for all that! But given the genome and predicted proteins, one can convert this to a regular expression and search the database. I've constructed that particular mixture to reflect a common occurence: one is the original sequence and one is that sequence minus the starting N-formyl methionine (the special methionine used to start proteins). Heterogeneity in removing that first N-formyl methionine is common. We saw that pattern a lot and learned to look for it. But we also saw plenty of cases where two completely different proteins were overlaid.
If you want to read more details, we published the work in Electrophoresis, though unfortunately the article is paywalled.
Edman's Successor: Protein Mass Spectrometry
Laboratory strains of E.coli have on the order of 5,000 raw proteins; humans have a base capacity for four times that, and then post-translational modifications (which often change the location) are more common in eukaryotes than bacteria. The odds of getting perfect separation on a 2D gel go down with greater complexity, and in any case 2D gels are very labor intensive and finicky. The Edman sequencing gets only the N-terminus; if you really want to check everything out one would need to break the protein into multiple pieces, separate those and sequence each one. That's more tedium.
A new class of technology arose to dominate proteomics, and that technology is protein mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry is one of the innovations from the time when the periodic table was incompletely filled and is truly amazing: these machines weigh ions (charged atoms and molecules). It took a while ( about 3/4 of a century) to go from weighing atoms and small molecules to weighing entire proteins, but that technology is now very established. Two basic schemes dominate in protein work. Quadrupole mass spectrometers shoot the molecule towards a target and then apply a bending force with a magnet; since f=ma, the mass of the molecule can be computed from the degree of deflection of its path (but the force is proportional to the charge on the molecule, so what is actually measured is the ratio of mass:charge aka m/z). Also important here is the fact that one can steer ions with magnetic fields.
I've actually used a basic mass spec for a basic process. When I was a high school intern at Penn, an ultrahigh vacuum system was clearly leaking after we had changed out some equipment. The instrument had a simple mass spec built in. I was assigned to take a Pasteur pipet linked to a helium tank and patiently run the pipet tip around each suspect area, and look for a spike in the helium mass on the instrument. Which revealed, sadly, that the high school intern had used the wrong sized bolt in reassembling a flange, just pinching a metal diaphragm.
Anyway, back to proteins. Proteins are big things and many proteins will have the same raw weight, so how do you tell them apart? First, one can use chromatography upstream to try to fractionate a messy biological sample into bins. Multiple dimensions of chromatography can be used in much the same manner of the two axes of the 2D gel. Chromatography can be automated, which is a huge plus, and there are more dimensions available which can be used in series, but the more dimensions, the more samples created to analyze and therefore more instrument time required. But for most interesting samples, chromatography alone will not be sufficient to get to a single protein, and even if it does multiple proteins can have the same molecular weight.
One other pre-processing step which is common in the mass spec is to digest the input, often after some chromatography, into peptides using a protease. Trypsin is heavily used, which cuts after most R (arginine) and K (lysine) residues, both of which bear a positive charge on their side chain. Small peptides are more amenable to mass spectrometry than entire proteins, but now you have a complex mixture. Chromatography on that mixture can reduce the complexity, but again trades sample complexity for number of fractions.
Let's suppose that all this has been wonderfully successful, and each fraction queued to go into the mass spec bears at most one peptide. How do you identify what that peptide is and what it means?
A big trick in the mass spec field is to use multiple stages of mass specs, with collision cells in between. One can use the first stage to select a given mass range and steer that into a space filled with a gas at very low pressure. The ions collide with the gas molecules, leading to breaking up of the input molecule into fragments (computing these, I understand, is not quite a fully solved problem, particularly for large, complex molecules). These can then be analyzed for size, producing a fingerprint of the original mass. If the instrument is designed for it and enough ions are around, as some are lost to noise at each step, another round of steering-collision-analysis can fingerprint each of the fragments.
Now a number of methods have been developed to take these fragment patterns to infer the possible protein sequence that produced them. One complication is that some amino acids weigh the same or nearly so (leucine and isoleucine are isomers, with exactly the same number of each atom). Furthermore, amino acids may be modified by either damage or post-translational enzymes. Some spectrometers are crazy accurate, but the problem can easily be under-specified: many possible amino acid sequences could yield a known mass. Understanding cleavage patterns helps immensely here, but that involves more complicated instruments and computations. Remember also in all this that one has multiple peptides, so if a single protein was digested then guesses for each peptide can be cross-matched to find the common protein that could produce all of them.
Or, if you possess a complete predicted proteome of an organism, one can match the observed spectral data to the predicted spectral data for the organism. Less experimental time is required to generate the data and a simpler computation is involved: close to a lookup.
I hope through this that I've illustrated one aspect of why having a genome sequence so changes the way experiments are run. The genome becomes a central artifact, much like the periodic table in chemistry, around which much else is organized. The sequence provides the way to make predictions and also enables simpler lookup-style operations to replace difficult computations to interpret high-throughput experiments (in this case, protein mass spectrometry). Because such experiments are likely to yield a position on a map, rather than a new experimental headache, new experiments can more quickly be interpreted in the light of previous findings. The design-experiment-interpret cycle becomes significantly faster.
I'm thinking about writing several more pieces on this theme of how the genome revolutionized biology. Not sure how many, but I do have several roughed out in my head. One along these lines that is in my archives was my passionate rant on the success of cancer genomics, which is often a target for big science critics.
This also shows how getting a genome sequence is so different from Apollo in terms of impact. Apollo was a great engineering project (as a recent essay put it, we should celebrate Apollo and condemn Apolloism) and yielded great insights about the history of the moon, but it didn't change the way science was done. There was no radical restructuring of the way anyone thought about science post-Apollo. It didn't yield a set of organizing principles for space science. But the human genome sequence (and any other reference genome sequence) did. We don't divide science into pre-genome and post-genome because it is handy from a historian's perspective; it's a natural division due to a tectonic shift in the practice of science.

I like your analogy of a lookup table. Coming at this from the Mendelian Genetics perspective, one of the amazing benefits to come out of having a standard genome was the rapid development of variant maps and collections. This, along with the physical sequence, is what enables the possibility of rapid identification of putative causal variants in situations of single gene inheritance and strong penetrance. I've also been around long enough to remember the Herculean task of identifying a gene when all one had was a phenotype, some linked RFLPs, and a bunch of phage and cosmid libraries. Here, as with your description of proteomics, it's the marriage of technology (high throughput sequencers) with information (the genome sequence) that makes it possible to relatively quickly (although not always) identify the causal factor in a Mendelian disease or condition, and with little to no need to do crosses, wait generations, etc.
This is a fun exercise and I agree that the fruits of the HGP are under-appreciated. I'll keep thinking...
Kumar wrote a response on his blog and also captured my tweet stream there - glad he did that

Apollo did have a profound impact on planetary science though. Getting actual mineral samples from the moon catalyzed a new synthesis of planetary geology and development. It is possible this would have happened without actual ground truth from the moon, but anyone following geology and planetary science in the 1970s could tell that things had changed.

Despite its combined experience with two senior captains in Darius Polk and Luke Wollet and another senior in Malcolm Pannell, Kent State's secondary has given up nearly 18 yards per catch so far and the Golden Flashes have surrendered a gaudy 810 passing yards this season. Penn State's secondary "emptied the playbook" according to defensive coordinator John Butler and will look to regroup after last week's debacle against UCF. Advantage: Penn State.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If you're looking to take a break from cooking this Thanksgiving, you have some options.
A popular alternative is shopping online for your Thanksgiving dinner. With the click of a button, you can choose everything you need for a traditional holiday meal, from a turkey to ham or sweet potato pie.
Price Chopper and Whole Foods are just two of the many options where you can order online.
In terms of cost, a survey by GoBankingRates found people in the U.S. spend $142 on a holiday meal to feed 10 people on average.
Ordering online can ring in a price tag ranging anywhere from $60 to $200, depending on what on what you order and where you shop.
Plan it now. Don't wait until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving to buy everything. Planning gives you more time to look for coupons or flip through ads for different grocery stores to see which has the best deals.
Shop from a list, and try to stick to it. That will help you avoid impulse buys that could break the budget.
And finally, ask your guests to bring a dish or a bottle of wine to help spread the costs more evenly between you and your guests.


The positive side here is the public will finally be allowed in 2014 to do some comparisons and, competitive shopping for health care so, they can manage their health care needs more effectively.
Further conducted research How corporate PR is killing health care shows how in the U.S both employers and, insurers have forced Americans into a consumer- driven plan that have high deductibles, benefits not being paid out and, increases in out of pocket expenses which, has caused many either to delay or forgo medical care. ). How corporate PR is killing health care discusses major problem with insurance carriers as, one must be able to grasp the legal aspects involved with insurance cartels in regards to the federal law is on their side. The wellbeing of Americans truly is threatened as, Americans cannot do much to increase their choices, options to access affordable health care due to many employers in luau of the 2104 pressing Obama Care plan they have made cutbacks in employees, cut back employee hours therefore so, they do not have to offer health coverage to employees as, they will force employees to purchase their own insurance.
What Is the Difference Between Data, Information and Knowledge?


It connects areas of your brain that have never connected before. Maybe your geometric recognition connects with your creativity and you become aware of realities that you once never knew. As a great psychonaut once said; "Acid opens up doors, but once they're open, you can't close them".
Regardless, if you do try it, you should first invest in a quality sound system.
If someone's never taken a psychedelic I'd recommend psilocybin "magic mushrooms" over LSD. It's more natural and usually a more pleasant, shorter experience.
A lot of people don't like to use drugs in general.
Hallucinogens are still a big mystery to science. Just from the fear of the unknown they shouldn't be recommended on the scale you're suggesting.
There are recorded cases of them causing irreversible changes in healthy adults.
Before doing so you should invest time in learning about LSD (or any other drug you want to try) so you know what to expect and can handle the comedown.
How much do you know about me specifically? How do you know that I am over the legal age for taking drugs, and if taking marijuana is legal in my state?
it has been known to have side effects and leave you more psychologically unnerved then before.
Some people prefer sobriety, maintaining full control of themselves.

THE DISH: Poutine has double the trouble of the infamous KFC Double
By Megan OgilvieData Reporter
Thu., Nov. 18, 2010timer3 min. read
Joanne Sue had a hunch her favourite poutine was bad for her.
After all, French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy is the antithesis of health food.
And when you order a poutine, as Joanne does, dressed with a half-dozen strips of bacon, a spoonful of roasted chicken breast and a generous scattering of sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions, you have to know you'll be stomaching something close to a calorie bomb.
A business analyst who works in the Financial District, Joanne was introduced to Smoke's and its country-style poutine two years ago. She tried some of the other combinations, including the nacho version (beef chili, salsa, sour cream, guacamole and jalapeno peppers), but the chicken, bacon and fried-veggie combo remains her first choice.
She has one once every two weeks.
"I know the mounds of cheese, bacon and gravy cannot be good for the diet," Joanne wrote in her email request to The Dish. "But I'm dying to know just how bad this poutine really is for the waistline!"
I called Joanne with the results and asked her to guess how many calories lurk in her lunch-time treat.
She thought for a second, then replied: "Maybe 1,500?"
When I confirmed that her guess was just about correct, adding the poutine also contains 70 grams of fat, Joanne uttered a loud "holy sh--!" followed by a shaky laugh.
The nutrition numbers are certainly scream-worthy.
With 1,422 calories, 70 grams of fat and 2,484 mg of sodium, Smoke's country-style poutine can lead to some serious dietary damage. And this is just the small version, which should hardly be labeled so since it weighs a hefty 621 grams.
Calorie-wise, the country style poutine contains 70 per cent of what the average woman needs in a day and about two-thirds of a man's daily calorie requirement.
"This is your lunch, dinner and afternoon snack combined," says registered dietitian Shannon Crocker. "After eating this, there's not a lot of room for anything else."
The 70 grams of fat — the equivalent of what is found in 17½ pats of butter — is more than 100 per cent of the average woman's daily allotment. And the 2,484 mg of sodium is 160 per cent of the sodium Health Canada recommends people consume each day.
"You could eat two KFC Double Downs and still take in fewer calories and less fat than if you were to eat this poutine," Crocker says. Two Double Downs contain 1,080 calories and 60 grams of fat. "I'm sure most people would know to stop at eating just one of those."
Crocker says there is no real way to make the country-style poutine a healthier dining option. Take off the bacon, chicken and fried onions and mushrooms, and you're still left with fries, cheese and gravy. Split it, and you still consume way too many calories and too much fat and sodium.
That leaves only one recommended option: eat it very, very occasionally.
Crocker says, in this case, occasionally means a few times a year, not a few times a month.
"Eating this every other week is recipe for health and diet disaster," Crocker says, noting that if your diet regularly consists of fatty, salty foods like this poutine, you may be putting yourself at risk for high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol, never mind a likely boost in weight.
After learning the nutrition numbers, the 24-year-old Joanne is somewhat deterred from her poutine lunch — but not entirely. She says she'll probably cut back her visits to Smoke's to once, instead of two or three times, a month. But she has no plans to share it.
"The small isn't enough to split, it wouldn't be filling enough," says Joanne, who considers herself to be generally healthy and offsets her high-calorie lunches with extra workouts and additional bouts of yoga. "I also have a pretty high metabolism. I guess I'm lucky."
VERDICT: A definite OMG meal.

A short-form for Medium Term Note.
An unconventional bond note with a maturity period usually between five and 10 years continually offered through various brokers, rather than issued all at once like other bonds. Unlike most bonds, which are bought and sold on exchanges, MTNs are normally purchased through an MTN brokerage, which operates on a best effort basis and is under no obligation to sell a certain amount on behalf of the issuer. Unlike corporate bonds, MTNs are almost always marketed to institutions and high net-worth individuals and have few or no small and medium investors. Beyond that, they functions much like corporate bonds: unsecured, non-callable, with fixed coupons and investment grade ratings. MTNs have become a favorite form of fundraising for large corporations, government agencies, and sovereign states. This demand has led to more complex MTNs, with floating interest rates and maturity periods from nine months to 30 years or longer. See also: Euro medium term note.

No Scrolling With Magic Mouse??
I have a Magic Mouse on my iMac. Today, I noticed the scrolling/ swiping quit working. Fresh batteries didn't help. A REstart did. Any ideas what might be happening?
You are posting a reply to: No Scrolling With Magic Mouse??
You are reporting the following post: No Scrolling With Magic Mouse??
In reply to: No Scrolling With Magic Mouse??
and the restart loaded everything fresh again.
Why? It's done this at least once before.
My guess would be there was some kind of glitch with the BT interface, and you probably could have just disconnected the mouse and then reconnected it to clear it out, but a reboot did much the same thing.
I'd venture to say it was a one off event, though if you notice it happening more and more frequently, then call Apple. There were some BT related issues with the first couple batches of magic mice, and given Apple's usual lack of info even to support partners like AASPs (they still refuse to officially admit there's an issue with the MLB on the 2010 MBAirs that causes them to stop booting, even though I've been told unofficially that's the case), I can't say for certain it doesn't persist to this day. If it keeps acting up, call Apple, get them to send you a replacement. If it was a one off thing, don't worry about it. your cell phone or keyboard were probably trying to communicate with the BT chip in your iMac at just the right time to cause problems with your mouse. A winning the lottery level rarity event. It might happen once every 5-6 blue moons, so it's just a minor annoyance.
How can you disconnect the mouse.
I had turned it off and on many times, and tried different cells. Nothing seemed to do anything else, Restart or nothing.
In reply to: Magic Mouse/ BT Reset??
Bluetooth preferences (users/yourname/Library/preferences/com.apple.bluetoothfileexchange.plist). Then log out-log in, open bluetooth from System preferences and set your mouse again. I would also repair computer permissions, just in case.
If I am logged into my MacPro, I can scroll and swipe without any problems. My wife's login however, well thats another story. She cannot scroll or swipe at all, its really annoying. I cannot figure out whats different between our accounts. I have checked to see if anything is auto starting, nothing. I have checked in activity monitor to see if there is an unusual or hung process when she is logged in vs. when I am. Nothing. Im stumped.
and see if the magic mouse is still misbehaving.


Ran stable systems with high uptime.
Logged events centrally and paged/emailed themselves on things that were relevant to preserving the integrity of the service before things failed.
Monitored for uptime, service availability, and weirdness.
They understood each component of the systems that they created and maintained.
I know that they were around, because I was one of them. We talked to each other in a variety of nerd-only ways most of which are no longer in common usage today.
I viewed this list above as the base standard for competence in performing in the role of whatever title people have picked for their technology manager. It blew my mind that people would sit around and wait for a telco (or worse, their customers) to notice that their leased line or service was unavailable before springing into action to correct the problem. I had the direct contact numbers to all of the top technical support tiers that serviced me in my role. When problems arose, I called them so that things would work correctly and hopefully without anyone else noticing that an outage had taken place. The telco frame and private lines performed poorly (and often still do) and since they never fixed anything the right way, and I knew where the routinely broken issues were to be found from past experience, it was faster for me to call and troubleshoot the issue with them instead of leaving them to their own processes.
Knowing how everything worked was not an exceptional practice. This was normal.
Now everything is going to big data cloud environments. ISPs either need to have a cloud offering or are looking to close up shop and retire. For the mass market, this is where demand has gone.
Perhaps not so surprisingly, standards of service are nothing like they used to be. Outage windows can appear in the middle of the day and stretch for hours. Data providers offer unstable links and just randomly create outages by having people who don't know or don't care if they are causing problems while going about their routine activities.
The "who cares, it's good enough for our partners and customers not to fire us" business sufficiency principal is in effect. They're not endeavoring to be better than their peers, they just want to avoid sucking less then them so that there is no where else to go.
None of this tolerance for faulty and unreliable service offering was acceptable then and it shouldn't be now. As most of our enterprises adopt hyper-complex service offerings that later become untenable because of the layered nature and artifact-bloated old code and dependencies. The agitators and those wanting to effect good change in their organizations need to be ready to confront these problems head-on and to smash these problematic stacks and silos Shock Doctrine style when the next crisis arrives. You won't have to wait long for your next catastrophe. If your ability to detect breaches and downtime is functional, and you have the necessary metrics to capture and quantify them, your way out may be just around the corner.
There are plenty of excuses for an inability to effectively execute change and it's often the real reason for when things go badly. I would characterize the real cause as inability or unwillingness by the organization to adapt and adopt change effectively as it is a lot easier to blame for incidents and calamity after the fact.
It's not like we don't know what is wrong, what to fix, or how to fix it. It's really a question of many making an active decision that service quality is not worth the investment.
One thing that millennials may add to the business climate when they come of age and take the reigns of leadership is a tipping point of people who don't try to separate business risk from technology risk and understand them to be one and the same.
Hopefully we won't have to wait a couple decades more for this to happen.

Historically Troubled Civil-Military Relations Hang Over Khan's Ambitions
By Abubakar Siddique
Imran Khan, leader of the majority Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf (PTI) political party, is cobbling together a ruling coalition after securing a plurality of seats in an election that most opposition parties claim was rigged.
One of his major challenges, however, is beyond parliamentary politics. As a populist leader promising reform, prosperity, and greater transparency, he will need to exercise authority and assume overall charge of what direction his country of more than 200 million people will take after he assumes the prime minister's office.
Just like his numerous predecessors over the past seven decades, Khan eventually must grapple with the fundamental question of who wields the real power in Pakistan. While the current constitution recognizes the prime minister as chief executive and his administration leading the executive branch of the government, successive military generals have overthrown, jailed, and exiled previous civilian heads of government.
The power the generals exercise has been bolstered by a pliant judiciary and a vast civilian bureaucracy that often validates military dictatorships and plays outsize roles in toppling civilian governments. Many Pakistanis consider them the permanent establishment distinct from anemic elected governments.
Since his party began attracting popular support seven years ago, Khan's rivals have called him the military's new favorite. Such criticism rose to a crescendo after most opposition politicians accused the military of rigging the election to orchestrate Khan's win.
"This entire election looks like an arranged marriage for Imran Khan," Khurshid Shah, a leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party, told journalists. "To ensure a win for Imran Khan, not one but lots of punctures were made in the general elections."
Mohammad Ilyas Khan, a senior Pakistani journalist, says Khan's first challenge will be to overcome such criticism.
"His initial challenge as prime minister will be to gain legitimacy," he said. "He [Khan] is seen by critics and rivals as a proxy of the country's powerful military establishment, which they say manipulated the electoral process to propel him to power."
Pakistani author and military affairs expert Ayesha Siddiqa says Khan's perceived closeness with the military will work to his advantage so long as he doesn't tread on their toes. "Khan is a leader who does not have roots deep enough in the polity to trouble the generals," she said.
Journalist Najam Sethi says that unlike former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who took years to turn against his military sponsors in the 1980s and 1990s, Khan will soon confront the military.
"He [Khan] may have embraced the Miltablishment (military establishment) as a tactical move, but sooner rather than later he will begin to challenge the conventional wisdom of the national security state handed down to him," Sethi said. "That's when all bets will be off."
The PTI says it was elected by Pakistani voters and was not propelled to power by the military. In his victory speech last week, Khan termed the vote "the cleanest election in Pakistan's history" and offered help in investigating irregularities. The Election Commission of Pakistan, too, has dismissed rigging claims.
The Pakistani military has repeatedly denied harboring favorites among the country's numerous political parties. Pakistani army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa thanked his forces for supporting the elections on August 1.
He and fellow senior generals also "thanked [the] brave people of Pakistan for their participation and wholehearted support for the armed forces during the performance of their duty toward a national cause [election]," read a statement by the military.
With Khan's victory on thin ice, he will be looking to consolidate power, which might prove difficult if he attempts to reorient the country's longstanding approaches to domestic and foreign policy.
Talat Masood, a former general turned military analyst, says Khan has better prospects of reclaiming foreign policy if "he consolidates his power and convinces the armed forces that Pakistan's future and stability lie in developing a functional relationship with India, gaining the confidence of Afghanistan, building trust with the U.S., and deepening ties with China," he said.
Pakistanis will be watching whether Khan can charm the generals into changing their worldview and approaches that politicians and critics say have undermined the country's stability, economy, and international standing.

Upon the lessee's request, the lessor purchases the vehicle and hands it over to the lessee for the latter's use. During the period of the lease contract as well as after its expiry, the lessor remains the legal owner of the vehicle. The subject matter of the rental is not shown among fixed assets in the lessee's balance sheet as it is recorded as such with the lessor. The depreciation costs are therefore borne by the lessor. The lessee shows the rental (which includes all costs in connection with the rental) under the service costs entry of the current accounting period.
A faster and easier way to a new vehicle: The business rental provides for a more frequent replacement of vehicles, so your vehicles are always in excellent condition. Despite the fact a business rental does not make you become the owner of the vehicle, you can use it as if it were yours. Simplification of everyday management: All your operating and administrative procedures are taken care of, from the purchase of a new vehicle to the sale of the used one upon the expiry of rental period. Flexibility: Rental period is optional, typically from one to five years.
Precisely planned expenditures: You know in advance how much precisely the use of the vehicle is going to cost you. Monthly instalments remain unchanged throughout the entire period of rental. Saving of liquid assets: Business rental requires only a small portion of your own assets. You may use your free assets for business activities and investments which provide a higher yield. Optimisation of expenses: Business rental with additional services (purchase, maintenance, vehicle insurance, etc.) provides you optimum consumption of assets for vehicles. Cash flow stability: Rental costs are shown as current costs of vehicle use. In this manner, they have no influence on the structure of the balance sheet.

In this case, Avant car provides for the entire set of services as is the case with a business rental of new vehicles.
In accordance with the customer's needs, it is possible to arrange for an immediate or gradual transfer of vehicle management to Avant car.

Avant car is there to assist them by selling the existing vehicles so as to replace them in an economical manner.
Disposal of vehicles represents a financial injection for the company. The gained financial assets may be spent by the company for the purpose of increasing the volume of business operation or for new or more profitable investments.
The company is relieved of the burden of ownership, operating activities and economic risks from the viewpoint of the loss of vehicle value.
By business lease-back, the fleet represents nothing more but a monthly operating expense.
The company is relieved of worries and procedures for the sale of used vehicles.
Avant car's vehicle fleet management plan accurately defines the management strategy, all its phases, technical and economic aspects.
Our mission is to find an optimal solution for the diverse mobility needs of customers.

Verizon has announced a new feature -PopData- for all its users. This feature gives you an unlimited data for a couple of minutes. That moment when you have a huge file to download or an interesting movie to stream, Verizon PopData is here for you.
To activate Verizon PopData, you have to sign into My Verizon app and opt in for a session, either a 30minutes or 60minutes session where you can browse and download for those minutes unlimitedly without thinking about data.
The 30minutes session will cost $2 while the 60minutes session will cost $3. The sessions can not work for tethering. Also, if Verizon deems that its network capacity isn't up for it, you will be denied access to PopData. One last thing, make sure your area is covered with LTE, because if you slow down to 3G speeds, your session's clock will keep turning.
Verizon has been beating around the bush with its recent ad campaigns advertising "limitless data" which means your data won't be optimized like T-Mobile and Sprint do with some video streams, and PopData seems to pile onto that. Verizon isn't going to budge toward unlimited data any time soon, but it looks like PopData widens the margins for a bit more wiggle room.
What's your say about PopData? Is it a welcome development for the Verizon subscribers?
