Tumor necrosis factor-α allelic frequency and chromosome 6 allelic imbalance in patients with colorectal cancer
Ronald Honchel, Shannon McDonnell, Daniel J. Schaid, Stephen N. Thibodeau
The human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus is located on chromosome 6p21.3 and contains at least five polymorphic microsatellites. In this study, we compared the allelic frequencies derived from 50 normal controls to 64 patients with colorectal cancer at one of these loci, TNFα. No differences in allelic frequencies were observed between these two groups (P = 0.47). However, sequencing of the TNFα PCR product revealed two populations of TNFα alleles; alleles with the expected DNA sequence (i.e., the expected number of AC/GT repeats) and alleles that contained 8-bp deletions adjacent to the microsatellite repeat. In addition, we also examined paired normal and tumor DNA from the colorectal cancer group for microsatellite alterations at the TNFα, locus, including allelic loss of heterozygosity and microsatellite instability. Of the 64 tumors examined, 13 (20%) demonstrated microsatellite instability, and 14 (42%) of 33 informative cases demonstrated allelic imbalance. Analysis of 10 additional chromosome 6 loci for allelic loss showed that 23 (47%) of 49 informative cases exhibited allelic imbalance with at least one chromosome 6p marker, 23 (47%) of 49 with at least one 6q marker, and 29 (59%) of 49 with at least one marker on chromosome 6. Examination of tumors for the minimal region of deletion overlap suggests the presence of tumor suppressor genes on both 6p and 6q.

Devaluations. Get used to them.
This is merely a small chapter in the current global currency war. The funny thing is that these mainstream writers are gauging the "devaluation" versus the Dollar when in fact it is the U.S. who is working the hardest at devaluing. Zerohedge wrote yesterday that Russia has been exporting oil and buying Gold for years …because they know! They know that the U.S. Dollar will be devalued at some point much harder and faster than it already has been.
The same goes for China who is now THE largest trading entity on the planet because they also know. Why do you think that the Chinese have structured deal after deal to purchase assets in Dollars? Why do you think that they have structured trade deals in Yuan? They want to take in less Dollars and spend as many as they can before this thing goes terminal. They are simply illustrating how to play the game of hot potato! Don't get me wrong, I know that China has blown its own bubble with debt and an exploding money supply but they are novices compared to what we've done.
As my title implies, the world should get used to devaluations. They will now come more often and with deeper cuts because of what has happened and the responses by central banks over the last 5 years. The world (central banks) has collectively jumped head first into papering over the paper problems with more and more paper. What began as a solvency problem has been remedied as a liquidity problem which worsened debt ratios and watered down the currencies… until… everyone is forced to devalue versus Gold.
While on the topic of "devaluation," I think I may have an idea as to why the "lock down" of the metals over the last 3 months or more. Obviously the "lid" needs to be kept on the metals as behind the scenes we know things are getting messier. I believe that the powers that be are "tapping on the brake" as opposed to the way they used to operate. They used to go for 20% or more drops to shake the weak hands out. I don't believe that is possible now. Here is why: We know that physical demand is quite strong as evidenced by the U.S. Mint figures and investors are now reacting differently to any big drops. In the past, many investors would freeze, now they are looking for entry points rather than exits. Yes I know, the sentiment is awful and everyone is moaning and groaning but a $100 or $200 drop in Gold or $3 in Silver is bringing new buyers out of the wood work.
Think of it this way; by not allowing a price rise and also not pressing your hand to the downside it is not creating any emotion or urgency to buy… now. Yes it is irritating the long term holders but the lack of movement has taken gold and silver out of the spotlight. This way, anyone looking to buy on dips or "trend followers" chasing an uptrend are basically made to sit on their hands. Maybe I am wrong in this thought process but it seems to fit AND is the best strategy available in my opinion. Lock the price down, keep whacking it often and steadily to make as few emotional waves as possible. For long term holders of metal assets this is like Chinese water torture but once this changes the supply demand equation will go ballistic. As I have said all along, "Either you are in or you're out. When the music stops, you will not be able to correct or better your position." If you have not positioned yourself yet, use the current calm before the inevitable storm. You will need to be prepared to ride out whatever comes… with whatever you entered with.
I'm all in with pm's and have been for years. It's not rocket science to see what the central planners are up to and it is NOT in your best interest (unless you are a big Wall Street bank).
The sheeple have been conditioned to believe what is shovel feed to them and they will be losers (very sad).
Mr. Celente says to "…think for yourself…", but the sheeple will continue to let the main stream media think for them.
In 1913, the U.S. dollar was, well, a dollar. And gold was U.S. $20 an ounce.
I read you each day to get a dose of sanity, and, I hope you don't mind, but after I read you I can hardly help but put in my "2 cents worth." Speaking of cents, I'm with you on the 98.7% decline. When I was a boy my father told me when he was my age he had a paper route, delivered papers for 1 cent a day… I also recall the day he came home from the grocery – this was in the 50(ies). The family station wagon was full of groceries, he bought all the groceries for his family of five for the week in one trip, had it all planed out and never had to go back again until the following Saturday. I asked him, "Dad, how much did all those groceries cost you?" He replied, "Twenty dollars." The funny money keeps losing purchasing power, but you know what they say about inflation? "It snowballs in its latter stages." Some of you might think I'm crazy, but I use those "no interest for a year" offers to buy silver on the dips.
… in a world that makes little cents.

Caring Together Celebrates 25 Years of Treating Women With Addictions
The Caring Together program is turning 25. Established in 1990, the program, which is managed by the Department of Psychiatry at Drexel University College of Medicine, helps women and their children overcome substance abuse and start a new life without drugs and alcohol.
Women & Addiction
While men may be more likely to become addicted to substances, women traditionally face tougher challenges. The Caring Together program works with women and children to address these unique challenges using evidenced-based practices, integrated care for coexisting psychiatric disorders and trauma-informed care. Without addressing gender-specific care, many of the issues that face women with substance use disorders, including incarceration, can lead to further progression of the disease of addiction.
"Women also experience medical and social consequences of addiction faster than men, often find it harder to quit using addictive substances and are more susceptible to returning to use," said the program's medical director, Barbara Schindler, MD, professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Pediatrics. "These gender differences can affect treatment, which is why we have designed a program specifically for women and their children, which has helped countless women and their families in the past 25 years beat the stranglehold that can be addiction."
Taking a Multidisciplinary Approach to Treatment
For the past quarter of a century, Caring Together has been taking a multidisciplinary approach to addiction treatment. This means that a group of health care professionals, such as physicians, nurses, and social service and mental health providers work together to meet the needs of their patients. The team specializes in providing services to women who are pregnant and/or have children and/or who are dually diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.
In addition to getting patients through the different stages of treatment, the group offers: addiction/mental health counseling, psychiatric evaluation, onsite child care and domestic violence counseling, and case management, among many others.
New Program Launches
To mark this special anniversary, a new program aimed at reducing the recidivism rate of formerly incarcerated women is launching. Working Together for Women (WTW) was created to help with the many reunification needs of these women, many of whom have significant substance abuse and mental health problems. "If their reintroduction into society is not handled properly, there is a great chance that they will return to criminal behavior," said Schindler. "This specialized program's sole purpose is to make sure that does not happen. We'll do this through an integrated and highly coordinated system of life skills training, family reunification, and addiction and psychiatric treatment."
WTW is a collaboration between the Philadelphia Office of Addiction Services, Caring Together and Mothers in Charge, which is dedicated to violence prevention, education and intervention for youth, young adults, families and community organizations.

When your Winamp randomizer repeats the same 12 songs from your library of 8,000; when every radio station plays "We're an American Band" at least eight times per hour; when your Tally Hall CD has disintegrated from a year of continuous use in your CD player... then it's time to turn to Pandora.
Pandora.com is a free online radio station with a humongous selection of streaming music for your listening pleasure, but that's just the beginning of why Pandora is so great. Pandora gives you a great deal of control over the music that is played; you start by typing in the name of a specific song, composer, or artist you'd like to hear, and Pandora creates a playlist that includes your request as well as other music that you might like.
Seriously, you might actually like the music Pandora conjures up.
I say this because Pandora is in the business of mapping the Music Genome--that is, every single song is tagged with all sorts of attributes ranging from tempo to lyrics to instrumentation, so when you search for music in the same vein as "Disco Duck," Pandora's results will be much more dynamic than you probably deserve.
Once you've got a playlist going, you can diversify its sound by adding other songs and artists and composers into the mix. Why stop at Rammstein when you can also have Hindi rap and gypsy jazz?
Pandora isn't a total replacement for a traditional music collection, however; just because you request a song doesn't mean Pandora has it. And just because Pandora knows the artist you've requested, that doesn't mean you'll get to hear his or her music right away.
Fortunately, if Pandora starts playing anything particularly repulsive before getting around to "Muskrat Love," you can veto the song; Pandora will never play it again, and will be more careful to avoid playing similar songs.
There are some other restrictions--for example, you can't rewind a song, you can only skip a certain number of songs per hour (it's a licensing thing), and you do eventually need to pay (a pretty reasonable fee) to listen to Pandora if you use it for more than 40 hours in a month--but you can read more about all that in the official Pandora FAQ. Or, you can just jump right in and figure things out as you go. It'll be an adventure!
If you're getting tired of your usual music selection, if you're looking to broaden your musical horizons, or if you just need to listen to some good music, try out Pandora.com.

The Port of Hafnarfjörður prides itself on continuous efforts to prevent pollution in every possible way.
Icelandic ports operate according to a number of laws and regulations, including those applying to environmental affairs and pollution control.
The laws and regulations on environmental affairs may be accessed on the Environment Agency website, www.ust.is.
The regulations mentioned above cover the various obligations laid on ports on supervising pollution prevention.
Port customers and any others using harbour areas are required to comply in general and in detail with instructions from the port director or other harbour personnel. For example, it is prohibited to sandblast and spraypaint ships at the quayside or to deposit pollutants in the harbour area without consulting the port director.
One of the other requirements is that any waste polluted by oil must be turned in and disposed of in a recognised manner.
The port director shall take any necessary measures to prevent pollution, doing so at the cost and responsibility of the polluter. The main point is that all of the parties interested in the port must work together to prevent pollution in or by the harbour area.

Istanbul Mayoral Elections (I): What Really Happened
By Belkıs Kılıçkaya
For what or in spite of what did the AK Party and its ally MHP claim that the election was rigged? How did the process lead to the final decision of the YSK that ruled the cancellation and rerun of the Istanbul mayoral election?
Anadolu Agency, 31 March, 2019.
In Turkey's largest city Istanbul, 8 million and 850 thousand voters went to polls in the March 31 local elections. During the vote count, the difference between the vote shares of the two alliances' candidates was very small but the People's Alliance still seemed ahead. Then, the People's Alliance mayoral candidate Binali Yildirim announced that they won the Istanbul election. Half an hour later, the Nation's Alliance candidate Ekrem Imamoglu issued a statement: "According to the data we've obtained, our vote share is 50.36 percent while our opponent's is 46.70 percent based on the votes counted in more than 80 percent of ballot boxes."
After the results turned out to be in favor of Imamoglu, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also made a brief statement. Before departing from Istanbul to Ankara to deliver his traditional balcony speech, Erdogan said: "As the AK Party (Justice and Development Party), we have won the election by landslide as we have always been the first party by landslide since the election on 3 November 2002. Of course, the AK Party and the People's Alliance have won or lost some municipalities, this is how democracy works. So, the results are required to be accepted." Hinting Istanbul and Ankara Metropolitan Municipalities, Erdogan also remarked: "Although we have lost the metropolitan municipalities, we have achieved a great success in district municipalities of these metropolitan cities."
Several hours later, the Nation's Alliance candidate Imamoglu issued another statement and said that he has won the election by receiving 29 thousand more votes. On the following day, Turkey's Supreme Election Council (YSK) Chairman Sadi Guven said: "We have shared the official reports of the results obtained from more than 80 percent of the ballot boxes, poll sheets and final district reports with the parties. 31.102 ballot boxes have been registered in the system, while 84 ballot boxes have not been registered yet due to objections. Accordingly, Ekrem Imamoglu's vote number is 4.159.650 and Binali Yildirim's is 4.131.761." In other words, although the gap between the number of votes was not 29 thousand as Imamoglu claimed, he still won the mayoral election with a difference of 27 thousand 889 votes.
So, what happened next? Why did the AK Party's provincial organization claim beginning from the first night of the election that there have been some irregularities in the election and filed objection appeals and complaints regarding the election results once the official objection process started? Did they really think of smearing the opposite side by making up lies and rumors about gerrymandering as claimed by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP)? Could the party venture to do that while Imamoglu and his bloc was maintaining a successful operation of shaping minds even before Imamoglu received his election certificate? The Western capitals who were looking forward to Erdogan's defeat were blissful, and the media represented Imamoglu as a victor. For what or in spite of what did the AK Party and its ally Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) claim that the election was rigged? How did the process lead to the final decision of the YSK that ruled the cancellation and rerun of the Istanbul mayoral election?
Why did the AK Party's provincial organization claim beginning from the first night of the election that there have been some irregularities and filed objection appeals and complaints regarding the election results once the official objection process started?
Vote counting procedures in Turkey operate in an almost a perfect way. The vote number of each candidate in every ballot box is reported by the balloting committee and its lead officer. After all the votes are counted, the ballot committee conveys the reports to the district electoral board. At that point, the district electoral board compounds the reports submitted by all the ballot boxes into a single report. Finally, they are conveyed to the provincial electoral boards by a team consisting of the district electoral board president and at least two members of the board. A copy of each report is delivered to the political parties and independent candidates simultaneously.
According to the election law; during the ballot counting, reporting, and compounding the data into a single report by collecting all the ballot box reports in the district electoral board, the candidates and observers representing political parties can monitor the whole process. Meanwhile, sorting and compounding activities are made openly. All these steps are under the responsibility of the district electoral boards. The boards comprise two government officials and political party representatives and are chaired by the judge of the highest seniority in the district. In other words, the political party representatives participate in this process as either board members or observers.
As of the election night, the AK Party filed appeals to several district electoral boards on the grounds that the final report was registered wrong, seals were missing in some ballots, and unlawful voter registration was made in some districts. For instance, in the ballot box no 1487 in Arnavutkoy district, Binali Yildirim's vote number was registered as 1 in the final report although his actual vote number in the ballot box has been found to be 182. In 3 districts and 4 ballot boxes, the voter lists, final reports and vote counting sheets were missing. While the CHP argued the presence of "errors of fact" for such problems, the AK Party claimed that such errors are dubious.
The AK Party filed appeals to several district electoral boards on the grounds that the final report was registered wrong, seals were missing in some ballots, and unlawful voter registration was made in some districts.
As a result of the appeals filed by the AK Party, the difference between the two candidates fell to 19.700 as the deficiencies and errors were corrected. As the AK Party resumed filing objection appeals, the vote difference narrowed in favor of Yildirim. In the first phase, the objections filed for 39 districts were accepted by only 6 district electoral boards. In the second phase, the objections filed for all the districts were conveyed to the provincial electoral board to ask for the recount of all the votes. But the provincial electoral board refused the AK Party's appeal and accepted the recount of only invalid votes. Meanwhile, the party appealed to the YSK for the recount of all the votes, which was also refused.
Eventually, in line with the accepted objections, "the ballots cast for metropolitan municipality in only 6 of 33 districts" and "the invalid votes in 33 districts" were recounted in the glare of cameras and all the political parties. So, 10 percent of the ballots in Istanbul, which has 8 million 850 thousand voters, were recounted. According to the statement of the YSK issued on April 17, the vote difference between the two candidates fell to 13.729. AK Party's candidate Yildirim organized a long and comprehensive press conference with broad participation, including the foreign press. He said during the conference: "If we have won 16 thousand votes after the recount of the 10 percent, you can easily calculate the result if all the votes are recounted. This is enough to demonstrate that the election has been rigged; the votes were unfortunately registered irregularly in favor of the opposite side, indicating an organized gerrymandering. The results of the election would be different had all the votes been recounted and the CHP had consented to that." He went on to ask: "If there really is a very small difference between our vote shares, then why did the gap not remain the same but changed in my favor after 10 percent of the ballots were recounted?"

Nobel Prize recipient speaks on campus
Dang Ton
Morgan Post, Associate Reporter
Does the universe expand? If so, does it decelerate or accelerate? What is dark energy? Is it good or bad? These questions were answered throughout the seminar about the Supernovae Reveal an Accelerating Universe. But to be honest, scientists and observers really do not know why many of these things actually occurred.
Supernovas are really rare to observe and are the key subject to predicting whether the universe is decelerating or accelerating.
"Supernovae's (SN) occur one every 100 years, or you could say, one SN per 100 galaxies," said 2009 Nobel Prize winner Adam Reiss during his speech on Thursday, Oct. 2 at UW-La Crosse.
The data that Adam Reiss and his team collected and produced had a negative mass. However, it's simply not possible to have a negative mass, so they went back and checked the work. The universe was accelerating, a find that they did not think was even possible. As to why was it accelerating, Reiss said that he simply does not know. He provided the audience with some possible explanations, such as vacuum energy, also known as the cosmological constant, dynamical dark energy, a new transient energy and modified gravity.
"Scientists always thought that the universe would decelerate. If the universe keeps getting bigger, the matter gets diluted and it starts to accelerate," stated Adam Reiss.
Does anyone really know what the universe is made up of? Scientists presume that the universe is made up of planets, stars, gas and much more.
"The universe is 0.05% planets, 25% dark matter, .5 percent stars, 4 percent gas and 70 percent dark energy," said Reiss.
Scientists are designing a new telescope to study dark energy between the years of 2018-2022.
"Scientists want to better understand what most of the universe is made up off. Dark energy will also determine the fate of the universe likely to lead to something interesting," stated Reiss.
An audience member asked Reiss what we are going to do with dark energy.
He replied, "The deep investment is trying to understand the basic law of physics technology comes way later. We want to be able to understand dark energy and what it means."
There are many underlying mysteries, not only just in space and the universe, but everywhere we look. Reiss and his team have proved that the universe is, in fact, accelerating and not decelerating. Now, he says that scientists need to take a leap and figure out what dark energy can do and what it can't.


i managed to get reshade loading again by placing the files inside the bin directory, however it seems to mess with the UI, as in the UI no longer loads, but reshade does load.. still trying to find out what is happening.
They changed the Fivem UI in some way, and that seems to have affected reshade, and the way its loaded. but again, placing the reshade.ini and dxgi in the /bin folder in fivem application data will get it loaded again.
Bear in mind i am using the latest 4.0.1 version. so maybe an older version still works, gonna try that now and reply here.
using version 3.4.1.350 that i got from another installation i have yet to update does not work at all regardless of where i place it. so seems Fivem did something to prevent dll loading, and i might just be lucky to have 4.0.1 loading at all, even if it messes with the UI so it fails to load.
i have contacted Fivem to hear what they did, and i am trying all the different settings i can tweak in reshade.ini, but so far no luck.
I contacted fivem and they have told me that reshade did something to it.
I still think it might be something they did.. As older versions do not work anymore as far as I can test. It just odd, that now with the latest it loads, but the UI fails to load with it. But if I disable it, it works fine. Reshade cannot auto update, so an older version of Reshade should work just fine, as I had an older version of Reshade installed, but it suddenly stopped working. And again, now only the latest will work, but it makes fivem not work. Maybe I can bypass the UI, as i only play on one server, but what about other people? Who play on more than one?
okay, after some contact with the guys on the fivem forum, it seems reshade hooks onto somthing its not supposed to, which causes it to stop loading because it detecs something is wrong.. now to investigate how i can get it to not load on the main menu, so i can get it working again.
Hiya! I'm one of the guys from the FiveM forums (the starter of the ReShade thread: forum.fivem.net/t/reshade-broken-in-latest-update/181984). The problem is that ReShade is hooking onto the 'FiveM_ChromeBrowser' process. When it does that, it prevents any UI elements from displaying.
MrJeeves, yes thank you, we found that out rather quickly, now we are trying to get it to NOT hook onto that, or possibly delay the load of reshade, but so far no luck from me..
Really hoping they get this fixed, or at least find a fix. A lot of people use ReShade for FiveM.
Yep... GTA looks trash without it!
Before I installed FiveM the first time I did try and attempt to install it under the program files (x86) and non x86, giving it higher permission elevation before I resorted to installing it just under my C/ drive.
Last Edit: 4 months 3 weeks ago by Term.
yeah this seems to be an issue that FiveMs new update has blocked, even though they said they haven't blocked ReShade from working, or done anything to make it stop working, it appears they made "anticheat changes" which likely are the cause of ReShade not working.
Any updates on this? Anyone get it to work reliably and not screw with the UI?
Install the reshade for regular GTA 5, then just rename the dxgi file to d3d10! Done!

Joining Peter will be historian Elizabeth Bradley, who tells the great story of the lovers and the murder of Stanford White, and the very first "trial of the century." Kevin Fitzpatrick, author of Dorothy Parker's New York and Under the Table: A Dorothy Parker Cocktail Guide, reveals how many speakeasies were once on 44th street (whatever number you guess, you'll be way too low), and talks about special secrets of the neighborhood. If you're visiting New York for historic reasons, make sure to check out the Chatwal Hotel!
here we are on West 44th Street. And if you just take a look at this may be a three block area here on. We're not even gonna talk about all of Times Square, just a three block area. You've got so much history that you just spend a week, if not longer, just on that three block area right up the street of Sardis, all the Broadway theaters. It's amazing. And joining me now, someone who's been on the show before the greatest story. Elizabeth Bradley. How are you? Very well, I think. I mean, and we're and we're I should say we're in the chat wall. What was this hotel first? It was originally The Lambs Club, which was a theatrical club for some of the most famous actors of American stage history. Everybody, there was a private club. It was a private club. This area is really still a club row for New York City. There are half a dozen at least private clubs, mostly with the university affiliation within a two or three block radius. Harvard, Princeton, Yale Century Club Century Club, of course. And of course, you go back to the Groucho Marx line that he would never join a club him as a member. So I guess I'm off the hook. I don't I don't think he was a member here, but almost everybody else that you can think of Waas. But this was the Lambs Club for how many years, you know, It was the Lambs Club until the seventies, when they sold their building. I believe in 1974 2. And it has. And subsequently it became the hotel on Lee recently the Chat Wall Hotel. And then they put some money into it. They did put some money and the lovely thing about the spaces that they seem to have kept a lot of the original take core and the furnishing. So it has. Yes, and that would work. It's a wonderful warm space, and it has some of that original bows are charm that Stanford White was so famous for, and in fact we're actually broadcasting from the Stanford White Sweet. Yes, you can see the pictures of Evelyn Nesbit all over the room, which are very interesting indeed because because they show you a less savory side of the life of Stanford White. He was, of course, the most famous partner of McKim, Mead and White, the preeminent bazaar firm, which did the second Madison Square Madison Square Building. They did the New York Herald Building, the Century association. They're also responsible for the Boston Public Library, a little further a field and numerous houses in Newport and Long Island. But Stanford White was known as a cereal roue. I guess if that's the polite ist word, I can say like, Hey was very loose. And one of his many conquests was a young woman named Evelyn Evelyn White. Who? Excuse me, Evelyn Nesbit, whose photographs? That's correct. She never married Stanford White and she anybody ever marry Stanford White? No, I he just he just went from was next. Yes, exactly. That's a wonderful way to put it. And Evelyn Nesbit was a young lady who was in the chorus line of many shows, as as is the custom sort of a Ziegfield Follies girl. And she's most famously referred to us the girl in the red velvet swing. Because Stanford White had a lovely apartment right around the corner from Madison Square Garden. He kept one in Madison Square Garden as well kept a few apartment kept a few apartments, and in this one he had a swing in one of his rooms from which his his young accompany accompany ments would dangle. De jure would would dangle from that swing and provide entertainment, and Evelyn was the most famous occupant of the swing. So, ironically, it's interesting. Just her photograph was in here. Any other women in here? No other women that I recognize there and no other women that he would way would claim It's true, right? That's true. Wouldn't it be ironic? Here we are at the chart while hotel in the Stanford White Sweet, A man who never married. I bet they've had a few weddings. They're so small winning, I bet they have. And I'm sure nobody realizes that in this romantic setting is quite a tale of intrigue and heartbreak and murder. In fact, murder. Yes, Evelyn Nesbit did. She herself did get married and her husband, Harry Thaw, who was the scion of a Pittsburgh coal family, a millionaire and a real trouble maker. He he shot Stanford White in a fit of jealous peek at the opening night of a play called Mam Zelle Champagne, or perhaps memes. Al Sham Panya Uh and, uh, exactly. Moms also, I'm fine. And it was considered the very first trial of the century. The first time that he killed him, he killed him. He killed him that night. And he got off on a plea of insanity, which everyone believed, because apparently he had been, ah, pretty messed up guy for most of his his privileged life. Eso sooner or later came back to get him. It did. It did. Which makes this an interesting choice for a room to in which to get married. Unless you have a really good sense of humor, I guess. Or your heavily inebriated right. That too. With champagne with champagne.

Luis Suárez has played again, this time for Uruguay in his first international outing since the World Cup in Brazil. The Barça striker, whose suspension ends on October 24, featured in tonight's friendly against Saudi Arabia in Jiddah. And it was his shot onto the post that led to Fallatah putting the ball in his own net early in the second half.
Minutes later, Suárez had a couple of chances to extend the South American lead, and although he failed to convert either, he was lively and decisive for 70 minutes before being substituted by Abel Hernández. With Suarez off the pitch, the Saudis managed to grab a last minute equaliser through Harazi.
As he is only allowed to play in friendlies, Suárez's only games since returning from Brazil have been in the Joan Gamper Trophy against Leon and in a game for Barça B against the Indonesia U19 team in which he scored two goals.

Q: Caching data vs. recalculating in PHP Here's the lowdown of the situation. I am creating a role-playing game with PHP. The combat system consists of the various buffs and debuffs. The combat is likely to take several turns (it's against an AI).
I am of two mind about ensuring the correctness of the player's data (buffs and debuffs expire over time. A +5 strength buff may last for only 1 turn). I could
1) Go through a character init sequence which fetch the user's data and changes to his data from items, equipments, passive skills, and then add in the buff, which is stored in session. If the buff exists, I apply it. If not, it's gone. This way the correctness of the data is ensured at the cost of performance...I assume.
2) Store the entire character data in session, and update the buffs. When the buffs is active, I add the modifiers, if the debuff/buff is gone, I have to remember to 'roll-back' or clean-up whatever effects the buff have. I am assuming this is less taxing on DB but will be difficult to ensure correctness as there may be so many different type of buffs.
So in terms of
a) database overhead
b) maintainability of the combat system
c) industry practises on such cases,
how does the 2 solutions fare? Are there more which I don't know about? I was thinking of using a subscriber pattern to implement #2, but as the web is stateless that seems to add more overhead.

A: I'm pulling the Knuth out: "Premature optimization is the root of all evil."
You don't know what the actual performance impact of this design decision is and you're in the middle of development. Without actual data it's impossible to tell if this will be a bottleneck in the future, there may be something else that is causing your app to be 10X slower than it should that you don't even know.
Measure. Test. Use Real World Data. Optimize.

A: I'm going to go with "neither" here, and tell you the approach I would take.
I can assume that because of your question, you're obviously planning on having some decent traffic and want to make sure your application performs under load.  That being said, you should remember the nature of sessions here.  If you ever need to cluster your front end by adding multiple web servers to spread out the load, then PHP's normal file-based session handling becomes relatively useless, as you can't ensure that a web visitor will hit the same front-end server all the time (well, you probably can, but it would be difficult).  Storing to cookie might not be the best bet either if you're storing game states, as you might have more than 4Kb of data.
So the next step after that is to move your sessions to a central point with a new handler, which is generally your database.  Any database gains you've made by storing to session have an offset now, as you still need to hit the database.  It might not be quite as expensive, but it's not ideal.  Basically, you're just bundling up data and re-writing it in a different form.
The scalability pattern I would follow here would be closest to your #1.  Initially, rebuild the buffs each time and ensure data correctness.  Use sessions to alleviate some performance, but don't rely on them heavily.  When you start encountering performance issues, you'll have several options.  In likely order of preference, they will be:

*

*Install and use memcached.  Instead of caching to sessions, cache to memory!  Much faster, and a much better performance gain.

*Separate the database and the web server onto different servers.

*As you continue to grow, change your session handler to be database-oriented, and add more web front-ends

A: How extensive is the character data? Would it be viable to simply store all of the character's stats and items in the session? If so you could get the best of both worlds.

I was once in the situation of being stuck at work alone on a weekend with not much to do, in front of a computer with internet access, an idea a printer and some sticking labels.
Like you said...a little rough but hilarious.
To quote an 11 yr old critic, "Cool cars".
Coolest thing is: the pictures I took from the internet actually are from a dealer of KC brand automotive lights and show original KC lamp covers to be used when KC 'Daylighter' additional off-road lights are not in use.
A very useful way to spend boring hours at work. Nice stickers made nice additons to the cars.


World Championship tournament of Propilkki II will be played during February - March 2012.
We will continue with the same "good old rules". Please select 4 players + 2 substitues to the tournament and choose your captain! Captains are required to communicate between me and the rest of the team. E-mail information from captain is required, you can also use propilkki (at) gmail.com, but also sign in into this thread.
Deadline of registeration is at 31th of January 2012.
Copy-paste -of the old rules. If there is need for changes, I inform you about it.
3) Delays or changes in time-schedule are informed to captains as soon as possible. If there are some problems with technical things, connection, important family-things of the host, there might be some changes. Spare-host is Janne Procyon, or some other member of Team Procyon, but in all other cases it is me (Mikko). If e.g. Janne can't host game, match will be scheduled to other day.
And the game will start 21.00. If player is late, he can join to the rest of the matches, but there is no restarts for being late. Matches will be played Mon-Thu or Sun. There is no matches at Friday or Saturday night.
5) There will be 4 lakes in one tournament. Length of the match is always 30min. Lakes are not named before start, but large maps are preferred. There are short, about 5min break between games. Results are counted immediately after game is over. There is 30min protesting time after the results are shown. If there is something wrong, captains do the official protest and send it to me or Janne (if hosting). Procyon Products make decisions for approvals and discarding of the protests. There is no possibility to complain about decisions.
9) Games are planned to be played during February 2010. Time-schedules are informed about 1 week before match. We will prefer playing during Mon- Thu. Weekends are too busy for the most of us (we are fishermen!), except Sunday.
10) If there are 2 teams with same amount of points, positions in matches makes the difference. If EVEN THIS did not make a difference, largest fish of the team is taken into account. If EVEN THIS did not make a difference (nearly impossible situation), I will toss a coin to find out the winner.
11) Final is played with the same system than starting leagues.
12) Chatting during games is allowed, but private messaging is preferred. In public chat, the language is ONLY English. No other languages are allowed or player will get muted.
We have no trophies sponsored for this tournament. Sometimes we have found posting of packages problematic (like my wobblers to Somm, Ukraine.. never found their way down there..). But we will see, what we can do.
Team Captains - readers of the forums etc. Please note that the deadline is near. Hurry up!
Captain, assistant captain and some minor changes to team setup will be informed before 31.1.2012, if needed.
New team-captains etc.. if you are trying to register to kalassa.net forum, please select "en" from that "strange box" that has to be selected on registration page. This is admin's way to reduce spam-bot activity in kalassa.net.
I really hope that team Lithuania can resolve to problems in selecting team to tournament. I heard that there are several teams that has declared themselves to be the best team. Only one team can attend to tournament.
Only Team Ukraine is still missing. Anyone knows, are they coming?
All traditional 11 teams have signed in. I will make randomized "league 1" and "league 2" tonight. First league will include 6 teams and the second only 5. So, there will be room for 1 more team, if some "new country" wants to join the tournament (e.g. Germany, Switzerland, USA, Canada etc). New country is automatically placed to "league 2" then.
General information is shared via this site, IP:s to the matches etc information are shared via given e-mails of team captains.
Dates of matches will be informed later.
Preliminary information about match dates. First rounds (both league 1 and 2) will be played most probably during 21-23.2. 2012. Finals will be then played at 28-29.2. (Yeah.. this year there IS 29.2., so it is not a mistake).
THE TEST MESSAGE I SENT TO CAPTAINS, HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY NEW WORKING E-MAIL ADDRESS TO CONTACT YOUR TEAM CAPTAIN!
Sorry Mikko, the address should have been working.
I received the message that Makkeri might be out of Team Finland (health related reason), so there may be some other substitute. I have also heard that Team Norway may have some problems with full 4+2 setup. You can contact me, if some updates in team setup is needed.
There was a problem. Currently, the replacement is possible?
Please answer as soon as possible. Soon start.

HomeNews in PerspectivePresidential hopeful Alie Kabba will soon be arriving in Sierra Leone
Presidential hopeful Alie Kabba will soon be arriving in Sierra Leone
October 31, 2015 Abdul Rashid Thomas News in Perspective 1
Sierra Leone Telegraph: 31 October 2015
Plans are underway for one of the presidential hopefuls of the opposition SLPP party of Sierra Leone – Mr. Alie Kabba (Photo), to finally return home to Sierra Leone and formally begin his flagbearer aspirational campaign on the ground.
Many of his supporters and admirers say that his presence on the ground in Sierra Leone is well overdue, if he is to make any impact on the SLPP rank and file, especially the delegates who will be electing the party's presidential flagbearer.
Alie Kabba who is presently living and working in the United States of America, has been tipped as one of the hot favourites for the SLPP presidential candidacy, when the party holds its convention later this year or early next year.
Other candidates include Dr. Kandeh Yumkella, who remains the hottest favourite, and former military brigadier Julius Maada Bio, whose campaign is currently mired in serious controversy, after entering into what many SLPP supporters regard as 'an unholy alliance with president Koroma, in return for cash payment'.
Also on the list of favourites to win the SLPP presidential candidacy are Andrew Keili and global civil engineering consultant and philanthropist – Dr. Jonathan Tengbe.
Alie Kabba's campaign was given a shot in the arm when he was given the 2015 African Leadership Award last week in the Dutch city of Amstel Veen, Holland, in recognition of his lifelong record of Pan-African activism and leadership in the service of Africans at home and abroad.
The award was accepted on his behalf by Dr. Saa Kabuta and Magnus Pewa, his presidential flagbearer campaign representative in Holland.
The African Leadership Award is the brain child of The Voice Magazine of Amsterdam, Holland. Previous recipients of the award include great African leaders, such as Dr. Kenneth Kaunda – former president of Zambia.
Reacting to the news of the award, Alie Kabba told the Sierra Leone Telegraph that: "This award may have the name Alie Kabba printed on it, but I would like to think of it as an award painted with the sweat and gilded with the sacrifices of all our African brothers and sisters toiling in and out of the continent to ensure a better world for us all.
"This is a humbling recognition of our collective toil. I want to thank the organisers and facilitators of this historic award, for their tremendous effort and commendable foresight in ensuring that the award continues to be an eloquent symbol of our continental discourse".
During the award ceremony there were plenty of cheers and jubilation. "Give us Alie Kabba, and we will give you a united Africa," said Mrs Matilda Tsisemba, Appeals Court Judge at The Hague.
"Today, we have shown the world that there is always a voice for the voiceless. And this voice is Alie Kabba," said Princess Deun.
A member of the Alie Kabba supporters group said: "Alie Kabba often reminds us that; the work of the people goes on…and our ultimate destination is the United States of Africa in our lifetime. The Alie Kabba Campaign is humbled by this special award, which inspires us to continue marching forward to make Sierra Leone a shining light on the hilltop of Africa."
Speaking to the Sierra Leone Telegraph, a spokesman for the Ali Kabba campaign in London said: "We are finalising the finishing touches of arrangements to get Ali Kabba on the ground and meet the people of Sierra Leone.
"Obviously we will not be 'anointed' with the 'EBK Freedom Pass' to go everywhere in the country campaigning in the name of Ebola sensitisation. But we will find our way through."
The SLPP heavy weight trio – Yumkella, Keili and Kabba (Photo), were guests of honour recently at the SLPP convention in the USA, where they vowed to bring peace and sanity to the country's main opposition SLPP party, that is now divided by in-fighting for the presidential candidacy.

Pan-Africa-activist Award for Alie Kabba? I reserve my comments for the right time.

More than one hundred students took part in the third year of debates between the Slovak and Serbian universities, which were held on 23 and 24 November in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Bratislava and Banská Bystrica within the project of M.E.S.A.10 and Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies in Belgrade (CEAS).
Students answered the questions about Serbia's cooperation with NATO; about possible invitation to Montenegro to become a NATO member country in December 2015 and the impact on such joining on regional security and about European Union' solutions in the refugee crisis in order to strengthen its coherence. The students also debated the process of European integration of Serbia and answered question whether it alone can strengthen Serbia' security and bring prosperity. They also evaluated Serbia's current OSCE Chairmanship and Russia's increased assertiveness and aggressiveness in projecting its external power.
Views of the students on these topics differed. However, they agreed that rather than looking too much into the past, it is better to focus on what on the future. They also agreed that the prosperity of a country is connected with the EU membership under the condition that any given country makes its homework and implements reforms; that a closer cooperation of Serbia with NATO leads to the strengthening of Serbia' security and also, that for ending the refugee crisis a solution to end the war in Syria and to protect outside EU borders must be found. Students also agreed that respect for and observance of civic rights and freedoms, including religious, form the backbone of European values which must be protected.
The aim of the project of debates is to promote democratic values among the students and the strengthening of their debate skills. Project is carried out by M.E.S.A.10 of Bratislava in cooperation with Centre for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS) of Belgrade. Faculty of Philosophy of Comenius University in Bratislava, Faculty of Political Sciences and International Relations of Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, Faculty of Political Sciences of Belgrade University and Faculty of Philosophy of Novi Sad University are taking part in the project.

Q: Upgrade from 16 to 17 I want to upgrade form 16.04 to 17.10, but I have some data on my PC, including programs, files, music, even some configurations of VPN and another tools.
After I read about this I found out that I need to make a back-up of all my data.
How can I avoid losing anything form my current system? Including the music files to my configurations. Is this possible?
Can I just copy all my data to an external HDD, install the new version and after that copy my data back?

A: There are multiple risks when upgrading your system. Something could go wrong, which is why you perform a backup.
Back up all your data. Then perform the upgrade. The packages you have installed will usually be upgraded and your system will work fine. Your data will still be there. Your system will be different, usually it is an improvement.
There are some third-party repositories that may be disabled automatically by the upgrade process. (This only happens if you have specifically added those third-party repositories.) If you have installed packages from those repositories, then you will temporarily lose those specific packages when you upgrade. The upgrade process will inform you of that fact. You can make a note of those packages and re-enable them after the upgrade. (If the packages don't support the latest version of Ubuntu, then you'll have to live without those specific packages.)
I always upgrade my system. It is a fairly smooth process. It might take me a day or two to get some things ironed out after an upgrade. I do make backups, but I almost never lose data in the upgrade process.
Your mileage may vary.

Adobe's revenue is derived from subscription offerings, non-software related hosted services, term-based and perpetual licensing of software products, associated software maintenance and support plans, consulting services, training, and technical support. Most of Adobe's enterprise customer arrangements are complex, involving multiple solutions and various license rights, bundled with post-contract customer support and other meaningful rights that together provide a complete end-to-end solution to the customer.
Adobe recognizes revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, Adobe has delivered the product or performed the service, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Determining whether and when some of these criteria have been satisfied often involves assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue Adobe reports.

Zabraňte válkám, nazývaná také Vietnam, je exteriérová reliéfní plastika/pomník v městském obvodu Michálkovice statutárního města Ostrava v Moravskoslezském kraji v nížině Ostravská pánev. Dílo vytvořil akademický sochař Antonín Ivanský.

Historie a popis díla
Zabraňte válkám se nachází na ulici Československé armády u Dolu Michal a Michalského náměstí v Michálkovicích. Dílo vytvořené z litého betonu bylo odhaleno v roce 1959. Reliéf vystupuje ze zadního lichoběžníhového bloku téměř celým objemem oděných postav a tedy působí i dojmem plastiky. Sousoší ženy s dítětem v pravé ruce je "dynamická" kompozice vytvořená v duchu socialistického realismu, která připomíná hrůzy války. Žena kleká levou nohou na kámen a zvedá levou ruku v gestu ochrany dítěte (nebo bránění válce). Určitým znejistěním může být kontrastní mimika obou postav vzhledem k námětu díla, které se jakoby usmívají. Dílo také barevně vyniká v kontrastu okolní zeleně a červené zdi na pozadí. Na plastice je v dolní části nápis:

One of the major political stories of the summer has been the proposed re-introduction of grammar schools across England.
Grammar schools are state secondary schools (ages 11 to 18) that select pupils on the basis of academic ability – usually a test that pupils sit in the final year of primary school.
Once a central pillar of the English education system, most grammar schools were abolished in 1960s with only a few local authorities retaining them (for example Kent and Buckinghamshire).
Debate over their re-introduction rages – the main discussion points being how effectively they drive-up educational standards and act as a catalyst for social mobility.
However, on a practical level, their re-introduction would bring new challenges for families relocating into the English state system.
Available places: Obtaining a place outside of formal entry points (11+, 16+, possibly 13+) will be challenging. Parents, once in a grammar school, tend to cling to their place and there will be less movement in the system for relocating families to take advantage of.
Two-tier system: Grammar schools create a two-tier system with the brighter kids fenced in the grammars and the less able kids penned in "all-ability" schools that tend to work at a lower level. These are the schools likely to be able to help relocating families.
Change in deadlines: Earlier application deadlines due to testing schedules will impact on families, forcing them to commit to housing earlier if they want to be included in the grammar entry process.
Dean Associates will keep you updated with all developments in this area.

Childhood Food Allergies on the Rise
But researchers are working on new therapies to combat the problem
MONDAY, Nov. 10, 2008 (HealthDay News) -- The number of U.S. children allergic to foods such as peanuts, milk and fish is rising rapidly.
At the same time, researchers are working on new approaches to treating these allergies, according to two reports to be presented Monday at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology's annual meeting, in Seattle.
An estimated 3 million children under 18 had a food allergy in 2007, an 18 percent increase since 1997, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"The problem is even more than numbers," said Dr. Sami L. Bahna, a professor of pediatrics and medicine and chief of allergy and immunology at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. "The severity of food allergies is going up."
There has been an increase in severe rashes; severe attacks of airway obstruction, called anaphylaxis; and intestinal problems, Bahna said.
What's more, the method of exposure that results in an allergic reaction is also changing, Bahna said. "People used to react by eating the food, but there are many people now that react by touching or smelling the food," he said.
Food allergies aren't the only allergies on the rise, Bahna said. "All the allergies are increasing -- asthma, hay fever, eczema," he said.
Several factors are contributing to the increase in allergies, the expert said. The first is the so-called "hygiene hypothesis," which holds that people in industrialized countries are living in increasingly sterile environments. As a result, their immune systems don't have to fight as many infections, so those systems can become hyperactive.
"When there is some degree of unhygienic conditions, the immune system from infancy adapts and develops to fight infection," Bahna said. "Cleanliness, antibiotics, whether they are needed or not, and vaccinations are allowing the immune system to develop as if 'I don't need you,' " he said.
Other reasons include the increased use of antacids among children, which prevents stomach acid from doing its job, and the increased use of multivitamins, which is associated with an increase in allergies, Bahna said.
Also, eating more highly allergenic foods such as fish, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs and soy, as well as the increasing rates of childhood obesity, contribute to the rise in allergies, Bahna said. And, eating out hikes the risk for food allergies because you don't have total control over what you're eating. The ingredients in processed foods can also trigger allergic reactions, according to Bahna.
Allergic reactions can be severe -- even deadly. Current treatment is limited to avoidance of problematic foods and treating the symptoms of the reaction, Bahna said. But new treatments may be on the way.
Dr. Robert A. Wood, director of pediatric allergy and immunology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, was scheduled to discuss potential new treatments for food allergies at the meeting on Monday. These include anti-IgE antibodies, a Chinese herbal remedy and immunotherapy.
Anti-IgE therapy disrupts the sequence of events that causes an allergic reaction. The treatment appears to work in about 75 percent of patients. Its drawbacks are that it must be given continuously and it does not work in the patient who is too allergic. There are also concerns about its safety and cost, Wood said.
A first clinical trial of the Chinese herbal formula FAHF-2 is also underway, Wood said. In experiments with mice, scientists found that peanut allergy was significantly reduced using this remedy.
The most promising approach appears to be immunotherapy, which is something Wood is involved in developing. In this treatment, tolerance is increased by giving patients increasing amounts of an allergen over time.
"This is sort of the allergy-shot model," he said, adding that several small studies have been promising. "We are cautiously optimistic that we are on the right path," he said.
Another presentation scheduled for the meeting looked at adults allergic to red meat. Researchers discovered that an IgE antibody to the carbohydrate galactose-a-1,3-galactose, which was found in patients who develop an allergy to beef, pork or lamb, seemed to explain the reaction.
Another study to be presented found that schools in one district in Greenville, S.C., had different action plans to deal with allergic reactions to food. The researchers found that fewer than 50 percent of the children with food allergies were on an action plan, however.
To learn more about food allergies, visit the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

We Are Happy in Our Relationship With China – President Museveni
by Osbert Mwesigye
in NewsWire, PoliticalWire
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has expressed his gratitude to China for its solidarity towards Uganda's political decisions and journey.
The President was speaking at a meeting with a representative from the Chinese president, Xi Jinping. Yang Jiechi, who is a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, met with Museveni on Sunday 21st February 2021 at State house.
The President emphasized the potent role played that the China communist party has played since its ascent to power in China in 1949, which now makes its relationship with Africa over 70 years long.
Ever since 1949 when the communist party came to power in China, African freedom fighters have been working with China. Therefore our cooperation is now more than 70 years old, working with our elders, Nkrumah, Nyerere, Nasser. Therefore we are very happy with Chinese solidarity.
President Museveni
The meeting was intended to strengthen further political, trade and economic ties between the two countries.
Trade between China and Uganda has increased under Museveni's presidency. Even within the last 10 years, the amount of trade between the two nations has more than quadrupled, from around $230 million in 2008 to over $1 billion in 2018. The majority of this trade is Chinese exports to Uganda, which account for about $850 million in trade.
China also supports infrastructure within Uganda through loans. Uganda currently has about $1.6 billion in loans to China. These loans largely finance major infrastructure projects. These loans typically pay for Chinese contracting work on these mega-projects.
The Chinese emissary emphasized the strong role that Uganda plays in regional relations and went ahead to congratulate Museveni on his re-election to presidency in the just-concluded January general elections.
Uganda has played an important role in the peace, stability and development of this region. Your re-election last month speaks volumes on the trust the people have in you and to your continued presidency.

Channing Tatum has announced that he's directing Magic Mike Live Las Vegas.
It's billed as a live male strip revue based on the movie Magic Mike and its sequel, Magic Mike XXL.
The 36-year-old actor starred as the title character in the films and is a former stripper himself, but he says he won't be taking the stage for the live show.
Alison Faulk did choreography for the movies and will also choreograph the live act.
Magic Mike Live Las Vegas is scheduled to begin previews at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in March 2017.
