Primitive synteny of vertebrate major histocompatibility complex class I and class II genes,
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules bind to and display peptidic antigens acquired from pathogens that are recognized by lymphocytes coordinating and executing adaptive immune responses. The two classes of MHC proteins have nearly identical tertiary structures and were derived from a common ancestor that probably existed not long before the emergence of the cartilaginous fish. Class I and class II genes are genetically linked in tetrapods but are not syntenic in teleost fish, a phylogenetic taxon derived from the oldest vertebrate ancestor examined to date. Cartilaginous fish (Sharks, skates, and rays) are in the oldest taxon of extant jawed vertebrates; we have carried out segregation analyses in two families of nurse sharks and one family of the banded houndshark that revealed a close linkage of class IIα and β genes both with each other and with the classical class I (class Ia) gene. These results strongly suggest that the primordial duplication giving rise to classical class I and class II occurred in cis, and the close linkage between these two classes of genes has been maintained for at least 460 million years in representatives of most vertebrate taxa., Cited By (since 1996):82, CODEN: PNASA, ,

Distribution density and relative abundance of benthic invertebrate megafauna from three sites at the base of the continental slope off central California as determined by camera sled and beam trawl,
Distribution, density and relative abundance of benthic invertebrate megafauna at three sites at the base of the continental slope off central California were investigated by trawls and camera sleds over a two-year period. A total of 29 successful trawls returned a total of 133 species of invertebrates. The dominant taxa by number in the trawls were holothurians, ophiurans, pennatulids, and one species of sea star and one species of corallomorpharian. There was considerable variation in rank order of abundance of the dominant invertebrates among the three sites and within one of the sites between years. Thus the percent similarity among the three sites was also low. Three of the five most abundant species were burrowers and were not detected in the camera sleds. Comparisons of rank order of abundances between the camera sleds and the trawls was done for 18 taxa. Results indicated no significant differences between the two methods and a total percent similarity of 78.8%. Comparison of densities per 100 m2 between the two methods revealed that the densities estimated from the camera sleds were about 4 times those of the trawls. Reasons for this discrepancy are discussed., Cited By (since 1996):12, Invertebrates, CODEN: DSROE, ,

Temporal changes in deep-sea sponge populations are correlated to changes in surface climate and food supply
Density and average size of two species of abyssal sponges were analyzed at Station M (~4100. m depth) over an 18-year time-series (1989-2006) using camera sled transects. Both sponge taxa share a similar plate-like morphology despite being within different families, and both showed similar variations in density and average body size over time, suggesting that the same factors may control the demographics of both species. Peaks in significant cross correlations between increases in particulate organic carbon flux and corresponding increases in sponge density occurred with a time lag of 13 months. Sponge density also fluctuated with changes in two climate indices: the NOI with a time lag of 18 months and NPGO with a time lag of 15 months. The results support previous suggestions that increased particulate organic carbon flux may induce recruitment or regeneration in deep-sea sponges. It is unknown whether the appearance of young individuals results from recruitment, regeneration, or both, but the population responses to seasonal and inter-annual changes in food supply demonstrate that sponge populations are dynamic and are capable of responding to inter-annual changes despite being sessile and presumably slow-growing. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd., Cited By (since 1996):4, Export Date: 24 September 2013, Source: Scopus, CODEN: DRORE

Effects of epiphyte load on optical properties and photosynthetic potential of the seagrasses Thalassia testudinum Banks ex König and Zostera marina L.,
The biomass and optical properties of seagrass leaf epiphytes were measured to evaluate their potential impact on the photosynthetic performance of the seagrasses Thalassia testudinum Banks ex König (turtlegrass) and Zostera marina L. (eelgrass). Turtlegrass was obtained from oligotrophic waters near Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas; eelgrass was collected from a eutrophic environment in Monterey Bay, California. Leaf-epiphyte loads were characterized visually and quantified using measurements of their phospholipid biomass. Light absorption and reflectance of the intact epiphyte layer were determined spectrophotometrically. Turtlegrass epiphytes from the oligotrophic site absorbed a maximum of 36% of incident light in peak chlorophyll absorption bands, whereas higher epiphyte loads on eelgrass from the more eutrophic Monterey Bay absorbed 60% of incident light in peak chlorophyll absorption bands. The combination of intact epiphyte-leaf complexes and spectral measurements enabled us to construct a quantitative relationship between epiphyte biomass and light attenuation, and, by extension, between epiphyte biomass and seagrass photosynthesis. The model yielded a robust, positive relationship between epiphyte biomass and the absorption of photons in photosynthetically important wavelengths, and it generated a strong negative relationship between epiphyte biomass and spectral photosynthesis of their seagrass hosts. Furthermore, the calculations of photosynthesis highlighted the significant differences between PAR and spectral models of photosynthesis, illustrating that the spectral quality of the incident flux must be considered when evaluating the effects of epiphyte load on seagrass leaf photosynthesis. Verification of the model - using direct measurements of photosynthesis and a variety of epiphyte and macrophyte combinations from different locations - is warranted., Cited By (since 1996):34, Seaweeds, CODEN: LIOCA, ,

Influence of bottom currents on sediment texture and sea-floor morphology in the Argentine Basin,
The relative bottom-current speed below 4000 m in the Argentine Basin was inferred from the regional pattern of mean particle size of the non-biogenic silt fraction of about 300 sea-floor samples. The pattern reveals a strong deep western boundary current (DWBC) entering the Argentine Basin from the Georgia Basin through a gap in the Falkland Fracture Zone. The DWBC turns W and flows as a contour current along the Falkland Escarpment and Argentine continental margin. At the southern end of the Rio Grande Rise, the DWBC is deflected to the E and SE where it flows along the lower flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge as a weak basin-wide return flow. Several smaller return-flow gyres in the southern and western basin are delineated in the regional pattern. The DWBC is strongest along the western margin of the Argentine Basin where 3.5 kHz echograms reveal very prolonged echoes with no sub-bottom reflectors. That reflector pattern is indicative of coarse turbidites, some of which have been winnowed to produce coarse-grained lag deposits under the axis of flow. In the interior of the basin, where bottom-current flow is weakest, sediment consists of clay and silt which is deposited in large migrating mud waves with wavelengths of 3-10 km and heights of up to 137 m (average 26 m). The mud waves consist of material swept into the basin by the DWBC and delivered to the basin margin by down-slope processes. Thus material is winnowed by the DWBC and deposited as a fine-grained chaff in abyssal antidunes which migrate to the centre of the basin and form thick drift deposits., , ,

Lesions and behavior associated with forced copulation of juvenile Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) by southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis),
Nineteen occurrences of interspecific sexual behavior between male southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) and juvenile Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) were reported in Monterey Bay, California, between 2000 and 2002. At least three different male sea otters were observed harassing, dragging, guarding, and copulating with harbor seals for up to 7 d postmortem. Carcasses of 15 juvenile harbor seals were recovered, and seven were necropsied in detail by a veterinary pathologist. Necropsy findings from two female sea otters that were recovered dead from male sea otters exhibiting similar behavior are also presented to facilitate a comparison of lesions. The most frequent lesions included superficial skin lacerations; hemorrhage around the nose, eyes, flippers, and perineum; and traumatic corneal erosions or ulcers. The harbor seals sustained severe genital trauma, ranging from vaginal perforation to vagino-cervical transection, and colorectal perforations as a result of penile penetration. One harbor seal developed severe pneumoperitoneum subsequent to vaginal perforation, which was also observed in both female sea otters and has been reported as a postcoital lesion in humans. This study represents the first description of lesions resulting from forced copulation of harbor seals by sea otters and is also the first report of pneumoperitoneum secondary to forced copulation in a nonhuman animal. Possible explanations for this behavior are discussed in the context of sea otter biology and population demographics., Marine Mammals, Birds & Turtles, ,

Utilizing fishermen knowledge and expertise: Keys to success for collaborative fisheries research
Collaborative fisheries research provides a mechanism for integrating the unique knowledge, experience, and skills of fishermen and scientists. It is a joint intellectual endeavor that begins with the inception of a project and continues until its final stages, with each group having mutual investment in-and ownership of- the project. Collaborative fisheries research promotes communication and trust among fishermen, scientists, and managers and can provide much-needed scientifically valid data for fisheries management. It can enhance federal and state management data collection programs, which span broad sections of coastline, by increasing the ability to detect changes in local metapopulations that may be overfished or underutilized. We describe a methodology for conducting collaborative fisheries surveys and apply it to marine protected areas along the central California coast. During a series of workshops in 2006, attended by members of the fishing, academic, environmental, and management communities, protocols were established for conducting hook-and-line surveys collaboratively with commercial passenger fishing vessel captains and volunteer recreational anglers. The protocols have been implemented annually since 2007. This case study highlights the effectiveness of-and the essential steps in-developing our collaborative fisheries research and monitoring projects., Cited By (since 1996):1, Fish and Fisheries

Benthic changes at McMurdo Station, Antarctica following local sewage treatment and regional iceberg-mediated productivity decline,
McMurdo Station, the largest research station in Antarctica, ceased on-site garbage dumping in 1988 and initiated sewage treatment in 2003. In 2003-2004 its sea-ice regime was altered by the massive B-15A and C-19 iceberg groundings in the Ross Sea, approximately 100 km distant. Here we follow macrofaunal response to these changes relative to a baseline sampled since 1988. In the submarine garbage dump, surface contaminants levels have declined but associated macrofaunal recolonization is not yet evident. Although sewage-associated macrofauna were still abundant around the outfall nearly 2 yr after initiation of treatment, small changes downcurrent as far as 434 m from the outfall suggest some community recovery. Widespread community changes in 2003-2004, not seen in the decade previously, suggests that the benthos collectively responded to major changes in sea-ice regime and phytoplankton production caused by the iceberg groundings.

Comparative age‑determination techniques for white sturgeon in California
We compared growth patterns of clavicles, cleithra, opercles, medial nuchals, dorsal scutes, and pectoral fin ray sections from white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus in California. The legibility and interpretability of growth patterns, ease of collection and processing, and relative precision of age estimates were evaluated for each structure with data collected on skeletal structures and morphometric measurements of 147 individuals ranging in size from 31 to 224 cm total length. Various methods were used to elucidate growth zones (thin-sectioning, oil and water clearing, staining, and X-ray radiography) to determine the most useful ageing technique for each structure. All calcified structures contained concentric growth zones that increased in number with the size of the fish and were interpreted as annual events. There was a direct linear relationship between size of the structures and size of the fish. Pectoral fin sections were the most practical ageing structure in terms of ease of collection, processing, legibility, and precision of interpretation. Age estimates from other structures resulted in poor precision between readers but relatively good intrareader precision. This suggests possible corroborative use with the development of better interpretive criteria and elucidation techniques. The von Bertalanffy, growth curve calculated from age estimates based on pectoral fin sections for all samples produced a growth model for white sturgeon that compared favorably with those from previous studies.

Application of an ion-exchange separation technique and thermal ionization mass spectrometry to 226Ra for radiometric age determination of long-lived fishes,
To improve the accuracy and precision of radiometric age determination using 210Pb: 226Ra disequilibria in otoliths of fishes, a technique was developed incorporating an ion-exchange procedure followed by isotope-dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) to determine 226Ra. This technique counts ionized radium atoms directly; therefore, the uncertainty of the technique is superior to conventional radio-decay dependent techniques. Calcium and barium are major components of the otolith matrix that can interfere with TIMS analysis of radium. To remove these interferants, an ion-exchange separation procedure was developed. This procedure was tested by applying it to otolith samples from three fish species in three separate radiometric ageing studies. The resultant separations and TIMS determinations indicate that the procedure efficiently separates radium from calcium and barium. Measured 226Ra activities for each species were similar to previous radiometric ageing studies, with the exception of one sample. When results were compared with traditional 226Ra determination techniques, radon emanation and α-spectrometry, the separation procedure with isotope-dilution TIMS had significant advantages. Samples over three times smaller than attempted in other studies were processed with decreased uncertainty and processing time., Cited By (since 1996):30, Fish and Fisheries, CODEN: CJFSD, ,

The methods describe here are my own tried and true methods. Learned by trial and error. Each and every dog is an individual and as such may differ even from those in their own breed. I will try to add photos to the lessons as time allows.
The old saying, 'practice makes perfect' certainly holds true for showing dogs!! But be careful because you can over do the show training and sour your dog for the ring for life.
One of biggest errors that novices make is over training!! If you don't make an effort to make the whole procedure fun for your pup, you will end up with a dog that is totally bored and just going through the motions. Your mood plays a big part in how your dog reacts to the training. If you are happy happy happy, then so is your dog. If you are in a bad mood, then your dog is confused and uncertain. Do not train your dog when you are in a foul mood or depressed.
It is extremely important that the puppy thinks of the show training as fun and games. Have plenty of rewards on hand. I like to use a variety of things. Things like, cheerios, chicken wiener pieces that have been micro waved till they are hard, liver, beef jerky, popcorn, even cheese.
The dog never knows what is going to come out of that very interesting pocket!!
When you begin to train your puppy for conformation shows, you will need to practice often, for very short periods of time. In the beginning, I will often just stop the pup several times during the day and place them quickly in a stand….hold for a split second and then release with tons of praise. They never know when I will reach down and set them up.
I recommend that one of the first things you purchase is a mirror. This can be purchased at Home Depot or Walmart. It should be no smaller than 24 inches by 32 inches. A mirror is a must, as with it you will be able to see how your dog looks stacked and how you look during the stacking process.
Training should proceed with clear and concise commands. Make sure your commands are used over and over until the dog understands what is expected of him/her. Consistently using the same words to convey commands will help your puppy to learn what it is you are asking him/her to do. Do not confuse your dog. By being consistent you will ensure that the dog knows what to expect and why he/she is being rewarded.
Divide the show training into separate exercises. By this I mean, teach individual parts of the whole conformation training in each lesson. i.e….. Separate baiting from stacking. Divide the stacking lessons into separate segments also. Each section of each lesson should have its own word to describe it, a word the dog understands, and a reward. By dividing the training into small sections and small sessions, you will find that your dog learns much faster and retains that outgoing, happy attitude that we all desire in our show dogs.

For South Africans, escaping winter isn't very difficult thanks to the fact that we experience a relatively warm winter season compared to most countries.
While there are abundant events, activities and experiences in SA to help you forget about the winter chills, being located at the tip of Africa – and between two oceans – has many benefits for a seasonal getaway to somewhere a bit warmer.
One of the destinations that's close enough to fly to in less than four hours, yet far enough for a unique experience in a totally different climate – while also being visa-free for South Africans – is exotic Mauritius.
The laid-back vibes of the island, coupled with its beautiful beaches, culture and people are the drawcard for thousands of South Africans year after year. In fact, the island is so popular with South Africans - especially those seeking a romantic getaway - that in January 2018, South African Airways increased its seat capacity to Mauritius, which is the airline's most popular regional route.
With the distance from north to south being about 80km, and west to east approximately 60kms, if you plan your trip smartly, it's possible to explore the whole island in a week.
The island boasts an amalgamation of French, Indian, Asian and African languages, cultures, food and traditions.
While northern Mauritius dominates with an influx of tourists to its pristine beaches and luxury resorts, the entire island has a piece of paradise to offer locals and visitors.
To get an authentic experience of Mauritian culture and heritage, the best place to start in Île Maurice - as the French call it – is in the south-east, around the areas of Blue Bay, Pointe d'Esny and Mahebourg.
In fact, the south-east is considered the "cradle of the nation" according to Compagnie de Beau Vallon - which has a number of projects underway to sustainably grow tourism in the region.
Delve deep into Mauritian culture in this small town while visiting fresh food markets, street food stalls, traditional clothing shops and the odd restaurant in between. While walking the narrow streets of this quaint old town you will also come across a number of places of worship, and historical and cultural sites.
There's nothing quite like shopping at local markets and malls when in a different country – it's the best way to learn about its unique foods as well as get an idea of the local cultural clothing and fashion.
Grab a taxi or shuttle from your hotel and venture on a stroll through this bustling town during the day, where you can buy everything from vanilla pods and a variety of spices, to traditional Indian clothing and fabrics to make your own garments.
Traveller tip: The island is a producer of vanilla, which can be bought at a much cheaper price at the market than in SA, so be sure to bring home some pods and paste for your pantry.
Best of all is the fresh fruit and vegetables on sale, with vegetables that are bigger than usual, as well as number of produce that you cannot get in SA.
Mauritian cuisine is a medley of Indian, Chinese, Creole and French-inspired flavours and techniques, with seafood dishes a must-try in any part of the island.
From fish curries cooked in banana leaves and seafood cocktails and gratins, to biscuits made from cassava roots and traditional Mauritian biscuits called napolitaines, there's no shortage of local delicacies to indulge in.
Local favourite foods to try includes dhall puri, which is like a small roti stuffed with dhall (lentil paste) and served with a tomato-chilli sauce. This can be bought at the street food stalls and markets, and together with a variety of other street foods – such as Mauritian versions of chilli bites and vetkoeks – this makes an inexpensive and delicious meal for lunch on the go.
When it comes to beverages, you have try out bois cheri tea which is a Mauritian favourite (we recommend giving the vanilla flavour a try), as well as local rum and even litchi wine. Yes, wine made from litchi!
ALSO SEE: Mauritius: A Foodie's Paradise!
The south-east of Mauritius is home to a family-owned biscuit factory that makes one-of-a-kind biscuits that are made nowhere else in the world.
Biscuiterie H Rault uses a 140-year-old traditional method to produce unique biscuits that use no flour or traditional biscuit ingredients. The main ingredient of these biscuits is cassava.
Using a number of sustainable methods, cassava (also known as tapioca flour) is ground into a powdered form and mixed with unique flavours such as cinnamon, sesame and star anise to make these delicious (and slightly healthier than most) biscuits. The biscuits are hand-packed and are not exported – so be sure to buy a few boxes to bring back home.
After going on the tour to find out more about the region and how the treats are made, you can also enjoy some of these biscuits with local bois cheri tea at the factory.
While simply lying on the beach and soaking in the sunshine is a must-do activity when visiting a tropical island, when in Mauritius, one must dive into the pristine blue waters and explore its underwater natural heritage.
Take a boat ride from Pointe d'Esny's Le Preskil Beach Resort to see the island from a different view. Your boat driver will take you to a spot that's ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and there are a number of water sports to choose from too which can be booked ahead of your trip or through the resort you're staying at.
Snorkel in the south-east's Blu Bay, a marine protected bay boasting rich coral, including fuchsia mushroom coral, and abundant undersea life.
After water-based activities – which also include windsurfing, water skiing, kayaking and more – you can enjoy a secluded escape and stunning ocean views, while sipping on a glass of local brew at Astroea Beach Hotel.
One of the unique experiences to have in south-east Mauritius is touring Ile aux Aigrettes, an island nature reserve that is uninhabited by humans.
Run by the World Wildlife Fund, this tiny coral island is only a short boat ride from Le Preskil Beach Resort. A guided tour, which takes less than two hours will allow visitors to see plants and animals that are unique to Mauritius - some of which are endangered, such as the pink pigeon.
While there are many experiences to enjoy across south-east Mauritius, you're on holiday after all, so be sure to make the most of your well-spent Rands by relaxing at the resort and making the most of what it offers right there.
At Le Preskil Resort, you can walk straight from your veranda to the beach, enjoy the resort's pools, a spa, live music and shows, catamaran cruises, and even go for Creole lessons. You may also enjoy local cuisine at your resort – many of which boast romantic secluded settings on the beachfront, overlooking the Indian ocean.

Whether you've come down with a sudden stomach bug or had one too many "beverages" last night, sometimes vomiting is the only option. Yes, it's gross, but it's one of those inevitable and embarrassing things that will happen at one point in your college career. These spots have been selected as some of the most safe and comfortable places to retch while you're out and about on campus.
The bathrooms of Ross Hall are for someone who wants options, and somewhere to purge in style. There is a set of bathrooms located just to the right of the entrance facing Hamilton, complete with an open doorway for a speedy getaway. However, your dry- heaving and guttural anguish will echo through the main hall of Ross, so aim for this one if you don't mind being heard. The real diamond of Ross is the bathroom behind the stairs on the lower level. These bathrooms offer a retreat from the hustle and bustle above, thanks to doors on the bathroom itself, and calm lighting. Not a whole lot of people wander into these bathrooms, so it is likely that you will be alone. The other benefit of choosing Ross' restrooms is that everything is fairly new, so you'll be sitting in front of the "john" in a modern, yet comfortable aesthetic.
This next place is for the nature lovers, or those who thought they could make it to their 9 a.m. in Compton with a 103 degree fever. Fake Lake is great because you can easily veer off the path and puke in the tranquility of nature. There's plenty of bushes and lakeside brush the closer you get to the Pogue Student Center. There are benches all around the lake for you to sit or lie down on. The little bridge over the creek between Pogue and Fake Lake is also a nice spot to lean over and let it all out. Just try to avoid the geese, if at all possible.
Loveland is an art building, so the clientele and traffic is typically limited. This lovely bathroom is located in the hallway downstairs and features several stalls. Need to take a seat and rest your head in your hands as the next wave of nausea passes? No problem, there's a desk conveniently located next to the sinks. The room is also decently soundproof, so dry- heave away. When you're feeling better, comfort yourself with the great art on display in Bates Galley down the hall.
Last, but not least, Ghering Health and Wellness Center in McNerney Hall is another essential spot to vomit at on campus. It's centered between Butterfield and Rose Hall, and directly ahead of the library, so it covers that side of campus. Ghering prefers that you make an appointment, but they also handle walk-ins for immediate problems, like you immediately barfing. Not only could you upchuck there, you could also get a diagnosis and treatment from a very kind staff. I'd advise coming here anytime you start to feel ill.

A TSA spokeswoman acknowledged a man was stopped, but likened the incident to cases in which people inappropriately joke about bombs. She said the man was "a little combative" and that he was detained only a few minutes.
The incident has ignited some chatter on Internet travel Web sites. More than 83,000 people have clicked on a FlyerTalk.com forum devoted to the episode, and the forum has grown to include 30 pages of comments.
Bird, the vice president of a company that manufactures industrial equipment, said the encounter occurred at Milwaukee Airport on Tuesday, the day the TSA eased restrictions on carry-on liquids, gels and aerosols.
Bird entered the airport checkpoint with a see-through resealable bag containing small containers of toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash and hair gel -- in keeping with new TSA requirements.
"My level of frustration with the TSA and their idiotic policies has grown over 2 ½ years," he said. "I'm frustrated that poorly trained TSA people can pull random passengers out of line and pat them down like common criminals. The average traveler has no recourse."
Bird put the marked bag in a plastic tray along with his shoes and cell phone. A TSA screener saw the bag and went to get a supervisor, who grabbed it and asked Bird if it was his.
"It was obvious that he was already angry," Bird said, adding that the screener told him, "You can't write things like that."
The supervisor told Bird he had the right to express his opinions "out there" -- pointing outside the screening area -- but did not have the right "in here," Bird said.
The supervisor called a sheriff's deputy, who checked to see if Bird had any warrants for his arrest, Bird said. Bird asked the officer if he was under arrest, and was told that he was being detained, he said.
A supervisor said he was going to confiscate the bag, but after Bird refused, he just photographed it, Bird said.
Bird said he filed a complaint about the incident with the TSA.
Screeners looked at the bag to "make sure it wasn't anything like a bomb threat," she said. She said the man was "a little combative" and that a law enforcement officer came over, briefly interviewed him and determined that he hadn't broken any laws.
"Everyone's entitled to their own opinion," she said.
A spokeswoman for the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said the TSA did call the sheriff's office to report an upset customer at the checkpoint. A deputy went to the scene, interviewed all of the participants, ran a wanted check on the man, and referred it back to the TSA after determining no crime had been committed, Deputy Darice Landon said.
Landon said the original call came at 2:21 p.m., and it was unclear how long the man was detained. There is no indication that he was combative, she said.
A toiletries bag calling TSA Director Kip Hawley an "idiot" prompted airport screeners to stop a traveler Thursday.

Q: Change value by two functions I have functions which change value variable totalTime.
When I use first func value equals 189 - 50 (139).
After using second func I want to receive current value - 8 (131) but I have 189 - 8.
What am I doing wrong?
let totalTime = 189;  // *

function calcTime(){

  let hours     = Math.trunc(totalTime/60);
  let minutes   = totalTime % 60;
  let formatted = hours + 'h ' + minutes + 'm';

  fullTimeDefault.innerHTML = formatted;
}

function workTimeDecrease() {
  if(valueElem[0]) {
    if (+valueElem[0].innerHTML === 15) {
      return false
    } else{
      valueElem[0].innerHTML = parseInt(valueElem[0].innerHTML, 10) - step;
    }
    for(i = 0; i < barElem.length; i++) {
      barElem[i].style.width = parseInt(valueElem[0].innerHTML, 10) + '%';
    }
    totalTime -= 50 // (1!)
  }
}

function shortBreakDecrease() {
  if(valueElem[2]) {
    if (+valueElem[2].innerHTML === 3) {
      return false
    } else {
      valueElem[2].innerHTML = parseInt(valueElem[2].innerHTML, 10) - step;
    }
    for(i = 0; i < barElem2.length; i++) {
      barElem2[i].style.width = parseInt(valueElem[2].innerHTML, 10) + '%';
    }
    totalTime -= 8  // (2!)
  }
}

elem.onclick = function(event) {

      if (event.target.closest('.down-time')) {
        workTimeDecrease();
        calcTime();
      } else if (event.target.closest('.up-time')) {
        workTimeIncrease();
        calcTime();
      }

      if (event.target.closest('.down-short-break')) {
        shortBreakDecrease();
        calcTime();
      } else if (event.target.closest('.up-short-break')) {
        shortBreakIncrease();
        calcTime();
      }
}

A: My thoughts are that this line isn't assigning totalTime to your output, though it is being modified internally (also "step" is defined nowhere)
valueElem[0].innerHTML = parseInt(valueElem[0].innerHTML, 10) - step;

Maybe if you pass in step as 50 then 8 in the 2 calls (change headers to take as parameter):
function workTimeDecrease(int step) {
function shortBreakDecrease(int step) { ...

Change:
valueElem[0].innerHTML = parseInt(valueElem[0].innerHTML, 10) - step;
...
valueElem[2].innerHTML = parseInt(valueElem[0].innerHTML, 10) - step;

To:
valueElem[0].innerHTML = totalTime - step;
...
valueElem[2].innerHTML = totalTime - step;

And change both totalTime assignemts to:
totalTime -= step;

You could also do an alert or log to console right after totalTime assignment to make sure that's not the problem (or all over, helps to check values - I use those extensively for debugging, sometimes every single line).

It's a story of two wonderful musicians who met in the remote land of Lithuania. Encouraged by a local entrepreneur Jay, they recorded an album.
Magic happened. Baba Sissoko doesn't speak English and Mighty Mo Rodgers speaks neither French or Italian. But who cares about language when the connection is the universal language of...music!
Griot Blues was born from the depths of the human soul, where limits disappear. And where the American Blues musician felt his African roots and the African Griot storyteller welcomed the Blues...back home.

Take Him or Leave Him – Morrissey Charges Through the Civic
By Mark Paniagua on November 1, 2019 Concerts
Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
If I were to ask you who would prompt fans to stand in line over night in anticipation of seeing a performance the next evening, artists such as Taylor Swift, or the Rolling Stones, or Justin Timberlake would immediately come to mind. The odds are that you would not answer Morrissey, but that was exactly the scene at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
While Greta Van Fleet was playing inside, about twenty Morrissey fans were lined up across the street in Civic Center Plaza, smoking cigarettes, and some playing cards as they sat on lawn chairs, waiting to see Morrissey the next day.
Fast forward 24 hours, and those fans finally got the reward for their efforts. They were front and center staring up at their hero, the famously tortured, controversial, vegan, baritone Morrissey (or as they may refer to him 'Moz'). Most famous for his role as the front man for the short-lived and legendary post-punk band The Smiths, Morrissey has constantly buzzed around the flame of fame for famous and infamous reasons.
The famous for his aforementioned role as an underground music icon, and the infamous for his political stances and rants that have landed him on the opposing side of political activists for immigration and human rights, causing some to label him a racist. And then there is his general penchant for being a cranky-assed rock diva.
As a matter of fact, Morrissey's preceding tour schedule to San Francisco was impacted by his incendiary reputation, as anti-Morrissey protesters caused a ruckus in Portland which led to the cancellation of a subsequent show in Seattle.
Politics aside, the now 60-year old Morrissey still commands the respect of the music industry and his fans. Coming onstage to an ovation led loudly by his overnight supporters he asked, "How are things on the West Coast?" The next sounds heard in the venerable Civic Auditorium was The Smiths' classic 'Panic'; the crowd erupted.
Morrissey still sounds great, as did the rest of his band (guitarists Boz Boorer and Jesse Tobias, bass player Mando Lopez, drummer Matt Walker, keyboard player Gustavo Manzur), who, by the way, Morrissey made little reference to during the show.
The back drop of the stage showed a photo reel of old black and white images (including a shot of drummers Jerry Nolan and Peter Criss) looming above several silver reflective photo umbrellas that created the illusion of throbbing flashbulbs beneath the overhead lights.
All the while, Morrissey trekked through his discography, crooning through solo hits such as 'Suedehead' from Viva Hate which had the crowd rolling back to broken teenage romances in their minds…dancing again like it was 1989 at Das Klub (1015 Folsom) and singing along "I'm so sorry darling…..It was a good lay".
Fans were drinking it in like it was a potion from the fountain of youth. That was the good part of Morrissey, and he received it all in his own arrogantly appreciative way, gesturing to the crowd to take it in. He then conducted his band through a series of mid-set covers some of which are from his latest recording California Son.
The covers were either very well received or drew non-committal applause. Morrisey take on Jobriath's 1973 glam hit "Morning Starship" showed off a heavier space rock sound. Others took a weird swerve into the realm of Neil Diamond-styled singalongs…or even karaoke forays. The covers 'Wedding Bell Blues' (Laura Nyro) and 'Lady Willpower' (Gary Puckett & the Union Gap) spun the evening into an ultra-loungey realm. These tended to take some of the momentum out of the show….and extended an opportunity to get a drink or go out to have a smoke.
A couple of other covers were done effectively. 'Back on the Chain Gang' (The Pretenders) was fun and got the crowd moving, and 'Some Say (I Got Devil)' (Melanie) was powerfully delivered, but the songs that drew the most electric energy were the few songs he played from The Smiths' era.
'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore' from Meat is Murder (1985) had many fans singing along and the encore closer 'How Soon is Now?' stirred the room into delirium, actually causing Morrissey to (perhaps un-advisedly) strip off his shirt while he cheesed up some of the delivery of the lyrics.
In the end, those 20+ (and the couple thousand others) in attendance got their money's worth, though I don't know about the standing in line overnight part.
Interpol opened the evening, offering their stripped-down alternative rock sound and minimalist stage presentation to an appreciative audience. The New York five-piece utilized dark, well-placed swirling dynamics and an amazing light show to great effect.
Of their solid set, 'The Heinrich Maneuver', 'Narc', and 'Evil' were the songs that locked in most with the crowd setting off a wave of positive reaction throughout the crowd, and perfectly setting the stage transition for Morrissey.

Nitric oxide and redox signalling in cardiovascular disease
We aim to understand how early changes in the endothelium and vascular wall are related to the initiation and development of vascular diseases, with a particular focus on nitric oxide signalling.
Diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking and high blood pressure are all associated with abnormalities in the function of the endothelium, the single-cell lining of blood vessels. Of particular significance are abnormalities in the action of nitric oxide (NO), one of several important molecules produced in the endothelium that help to maintain the health of the blood vessel wall. These abnormalities accelerate the processes that lead to vascular disease, including inflammation, thrombosis and atherosclerotic plaque formation.
Production of NO, by nitric oxide synthase enzymes, is highly regulated and depends on the co-factor tetrahydrobiopterin, which is made within endothelial cells. Once NO is produced, it interacts with molecular targets in the cell, but is rapidly inactivated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nitric oxide synthases can produce ROS as well as NO, the balance between the two determining the biological actions and pathological importance of these pathways.
In previous work, we have used both clinical studies and experimental models to explore the role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and its regulation by tetrahydrobiopterin in vascular disease, in particular the inflammation associated with atherosclerotic plaque formation. We have developed transgenic models to increase tetrahydrobiopterin levels in the endothelium and other cell types, by overexpression of GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GTPCH), the rate-limiting enzyme in its synthesis. We have also generated targeted knockouts of GTPCH, to work out how tetrahydrobiopterin is involved in normal function in the cardiovascular system elsewhere.
In studies of patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease, we have examined changes in endothelial function, and nitric oxide and tetrahydrobiopterin levels, and how these relate to the clinical features of disease. We have carried out clinical trials of treatments to increase tetrahydrobiopterin levels and improve endothelial function.

Stockpiles of imported iron ore at 25 major Chinese ports dropped slightly during the previous two weeks, which included the weeklong Spring Festival holiday, new data showed Tuesday.
At the end of the Jan. 28 to Feb. 10 period, inventories of imported iron ore stood at 92.37 million tonnes, down 0.47 percent over the previous period (Jan. 21-27), according to a Xinhua-China Iron Ore Index report.
The index, compiled through research and analysis of 25 sea ports, showed that the price index for iron ore imports with a 62 percent purity grade dropped 1 point from the previous week to 123. The index for imports of 58 percent purity grade dropped 1 point to 112.
Despite the slight drop in inventory, iron ore stockpiles at ports remained at a relatively high level as sales were curtailed by the seven-day holiday for the Spring Festival, or China's lunar new year, which began on Jan. 31.
The report forecast that inventory at ports will continue to drop after Lantern's Day on Friday, a time after which most factories will resume production.

What is Emergency Medical Assistance?
Emergency Medical Assistance (EMA) is a public health care program for non-citizens with emergency medical conditions. EMA is a 'payer of last-resort.' That means only people who can't get Medical Assistance (MA) because of their immigration status (i.e., undocumented immigrants, foreign students and foreign workers) can get EMA. EMA only pays for emergency medical care.
If you are a non-citizen with a low income and you can't get regular Medical Assistance (MA) because of your immigration status, this program might help you pay for emergency medical care. The county determines who is eligible and the state determines what counts as emergency medical care.
To be able to get EMA, you must be a non-citizen AND a resident of Minnesota. You are a resident if you live in Minnesota and consider Minnesota your home. If you consider somewhere else your home and are only visiting Minnesota temporarily, you are most likely not a resident of Minnesota.
What is an "emergency medical condition"?
Cause serious dysfunction or damage to any organ.
It includes conditions that cause severe pain, like a broken bone, or sudden, dangerous symptoms like chest pain, a bad headache or blurry vision. It does not include most chronic conditions but can include conditions that usually lead to emergencies if not treated, like insulin dependent diabetes, HIV with complications, kidney failure requiring dialysis, and cancers needing immediate treatment.
Even if you need one, EMA usually can't cover organ transplants. But, right now, Minnesota is covering kidney transplants for people getting EMA. Talk to your medical provider if you think this applies to you.
In Minnesota, regular MA covers all low-income pregnant women, even if you are undocumented or have only a temporary immigration status. MA coverage can start as soon as you think you are pregnant and goes until 60 days after the delivery.
If you are pregnant, or think you may be, apply for MA for pregnant women at the county welfare office, in a hospital, or at a family planning clinic.
What kind of health care will I get?
EMA can only pay for medical care that you need to take care of your emergency medical condition. It does not pay for other health expenses, like check-ups, most dental care, or medicines for non-emergency conditions.
EMA can pay for health care you get at a hospital or emergency room. EMA can also pay for care or medicines you get at a doctor's office or clinic after you leave the hospital or ER.
Your doctor has to complete forms called a "Care Plan Certification Request" explaining how the care you get outside a hospital is related to your emergency medical condition.
You can combine EMA with other ways to pay for your health care. If another program like MinnesotaCare or charity care pays for routine medical care for you, or you get routine medical care in a free clinic, EMA can still pay for your emergency medical care.
Are there income and asset limits?
Yes, EMA income and asset limits are the same as the limits used for MA. You can find those limits on the MN Department of Human Services website at www.dhs.state.mn.us. Type Income and asset limits in the search bar and click on the same title in the list that comes up.
If your income is above the income limit, you can "spend down" extra income on medical expenses.
If you came here through a sponsor, the sponsor's income and assets are not counted.
There is no asset limit for children.
Just like for regular MA, you can apply for EMA at a county human services ("welfare") office. You can also apply in a hospital. If you are too sick or hurt to apply, hospital staff can apply for you.
If you qualify for EMA, it can pay bills for emergency medical care in the 3 months before you apply. This means you may get help with medical bills you already have. Again, EMA will only pay for emergency medical care, like Emergency Room visits or emergency surgeries.
All of your information is confidential. It can't be shared with any other governmental or private agency. You do not have to provide a Social Security number. You will be asked questions about your immigration status only to be sure you aren't eligible for some other public health care program.
Ask the county human services agency where you can get free or low-cost health care.
To find out other agencies that can help find low-cost health services in your area or help with your MA application, call 2-1-1 statewide. Or send them a text message with your zip code to 898-211 or chat online at www.211unitedway.org.
Call toll-free to 1-800-292-4150 to find a legal services office near you.


LAHORE - Eleven persons were injured as the roof of a local hotel collapsed at Suggian police picket, Madrasa Wali Ghaati, here on Thursday.

U.S. coronavirus deaths top 42,000 as protesters demand restrictions end -Reuters tally
Monday, 20 April 2020 22:37 GMT
(Updates death toll)
By Lisa Shumaker
April 20 (Reuters) - U.S. coronavirus deaths topped 42,000 on Monday, according to a Reuters tally, as more protesters gathered in state capitals to demand an early end to the lockdowns, while officials pleaded for patience until more testing becomes available.
Stay-at-home measures, which experts say are essential to slow the spread of the respiratory virus, have ground the economy to a standstill and forced more than 22 million people to apply for unemployment benefits in the last month.
The United States has by far the world's largest number of confirmed coronavirus cases, with more than 774,000 infections, up 20,000 on Monday, with several states yet to report. New reported U.S. cases appear to be slowing from about 30,000 a day last week.
Montana for the first time reported no new cases on Monday after processing 153 tests in the past 24 hours, according to the state's website.
Deaths also have slowed in recent days, rising by about 1,500 so far on Monday compared with over 2,000 a day for most of last week. The United States had a record 2,806 deaths in a single day on Wednesday.
Hot spots are emerging, however, in Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. Connecticut posted a record increase in cases and deaths as it revised its count due to new classifications from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC has advised states to count probable, but untested, cases and deaths.
Many of the protesters demanding an end to mandatory lockdowns expressed cynicism toward health experts and skepticism about the actual scale of the pandemic, accusing officials of overreaching and taking actions that had caused more harm than the virus itself.
Health experts and lawmakers on the front lines of the battle to curb the pandemic have warned that the country could face a second and even deadlier wave of infections if the lockdowns end prematurely.

Bamboo Airways finally takes to the skies
Featured Slider
by Arno Maierbrugger - Jan 12, 2019
Vietnam's new private airline, Bamboo Airways, will commence commercial flights on January 16 after repeated delays, the company said in a statement to news agencies. Initially, the carrier will operate 37 domestic routes and also start international flights to Asian countries this year, starting with Japan, South Korea and Singapore, it said.
After receiving a business license last November, the company secured an Air Operator Certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam earlier this week, allowing it to start services after having postponed its launch date twice.
Minimum ticket prices for the first domestic routes have been set at an ultra-cheap 149,000 dong ($6.42) each. Hotel and leisure company FLC Group, which owns Bamboo Airways, will be competing in one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets against state-owned Vietnam Airlines and budget carrier VietJet.
Bamboo Airways will initially use 20 leased narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. FLC agreed to buy 24 Airbus A321neo planes worth $3.2 billion at list price for Bamboo Airways. Back in June, it signed a commitment for 20 Boeing twin-aisle 787-9 Dreamliners at a list price of $5.6 billion.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast that Vietnam will be among the world's top five fastest-growing air travel markets in the next 20 years. The route between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is already the world's sixth-busiest in terms of passenger numbers last year, according to IATA
Vietnam's airports in 2018 handled 106 million passengers, a 12.9-per cent increase over the previous year, according to a statement on the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam's website. Vietnamese carriers flew more than 50 million passengers, a 14-per cent jump from 2017.
