So without question when your a big UFC fan as I am, then you need to know how much are UFC tickets? Next step is get the info on – where can I book myself some UFC tickets?
Well just relax, because right here at the MMAGateway, we will give you everything you need to get clarity on the answer to both questions so you can get to the important part of getting your ticket.
I will also give a brief overview breakdown of the fights, for the up and coming UFC 213: Romero vs Whittaker event on July 8th in the famous T-Mobile arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.
So prepare for the full package – an analysis of the action, and the best ticket booking information, so you can have a thrilling night of entertainment in good old Las Vegas in July.
Originally we were supposed to see Cody Garbrandt vs T.J. Dillashaw as the main event of this card, but he fight has been cancelled due to an injury to Garbrandt. So now we bear witness to Robert Whittaker vs Yoel Romero, which is a truly mouthwatering bout at 185 pounds for the interim title.
Robert Whitaker vs Yoel Romero for the interim UFC Middleweight title bout is the replacement for Garbrandt vs Dillashaw being cancelled. Have to say while the interim title is pointless, this fight itself is absolutely awesome! Everyone at Middleweight has been scared of Yoel Romero, the guy is a walking mountain of muscle, yet his athleticism and power has shocked many opponents particularly his last bout against Chris Weidman. Robert Whittaker has also been on a tear at Middleweight, and is building his own fearsome reputation after beating Jacare Souza with ease in his last bout. Both men have one punch KO power but picking a winner is tough, but the odds makers will probably go with Romero as the favourite.
Cody Garbrandt vs T.J. Dillashaw – FIGHT CANCELLED (Due to an injury to Cody Garbrandt) is going to be explosions, as you can no doubt feel after watching that awesome promo. So in the fight itself, there's no doubt Cody has the bigger power in his hands, but that is not to say that T.J. doesn't hit hard because he does, with possibly superior footwork/angles and head movement to Garbrandt. T.J. probably throws more, but Cody has one shot KO ability in his hands, and is really developing his game incredibly fast as he showed in the fight against longtime former champion Dominic Cruz to win the title. Too tough to call for me, but gun to the head I'm going with Garbrandt to defend the title. But this fight has been cancelled so we will have to wait for this bout to be rescheduled.
Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko for the Women's UFC Bantamweight title is a rematch that I have really been looking forward to seeing – the two fought to a close split decision where Nunes narrowly triumphed on her route to the title. In this bout I have a strong feeling that Shevchenko will be able to pull of the upset and defeat Amanda Nunes- I say this because in the first fight after losing the first two rounds Valentina started to really dominant Nunes in the 3rd and if she had two more championship rounds I'm not the only one that thinks she would have beat Nunes – but only time will tell in this second bout, so we all better tune in to find out!
Alistair Overeem vs Fabricio Werdum is going to be one hell of a heavyweight bout, Werdum being the former champion and Overeem having fought for the belt just recently. Both men have taken a beating from the current champ Stipe Miocic, and I think most people will have a similar opinion of this fight – if it stays standing you have to go with Overreem to land something big and finish the fight with his Muay Thai skills. But if it goes to the ground, you can bet that Werdum will have a significant advantage given his world class pedigree of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Robbie Lawler vs Donald Cerrone is a fight that has been scheduled before but didn't come to fruition, this time both men need to pick up a win, as both men have had their stumbling blocks recently. Its very difficult to pick a winner here, but I would say that we can almost be certain that this bout will be contested purely on the feet, and given both men's penchant for finishing fights, I don't think this one will go to the judges and is definite contender for fight of the night.
Anthony Pettis vs Jim Miller is an interesting fight as former champion Anthony Pettis tries to get his career back on track after taking some bad losses in recent years. Miller is one of the most experienced Lightweights on the UFC roster, and he will need all of that experience here, because if he can get the take down, he will possibly be able to pull of a big upset – but the betting man will likely go with a Pettis resurgence beginning in this bout, and you know when showtime steps into the cage, he will be looking for a flashy finish and this could be a bout where he gets one.
Also on the under card we will have Curtis Blaydes vs Daniel Omeilanczuk, Thiago de Lima Santos vs Gerald Meerschaert as well as more fights to be announced on both the main card and under card, I'm sure you can see we are all going to be in for a real treat!
So whats the ticket prices?
Ok so now we have delved into the fight card a little, now lets get into the info on ticket prices, so we can book our seat at the T-Mobile Arena – so I must always remind people that every UFC event has its own ticket price list, therefore the costs do vary a lot.
The most crucial factors in all this, is who's fighting, where you want to be situated in the arena, and how close to the action in the cage you want to be.
For this UFC 213: Garbrandt vs Dillashaw event on July 8th in the T-Mobile arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, the ticket prices currently range from $225-$3,115.00 (USD).
You can look at all the prices and seating plans at my favourite place to get tickets.
Of course by now you know that this UFC 213: Garbrandt vs Dillashaw event on July 8th in the famous T- Mobile arena, Las Vegas, Nevada is going to be absolute fireworks. What did Elvis say in that song? Oh yeah Viva Las Vegas! because that's what you will be saying when your in Las Vegas gearing up for UFC 213 on July 8th.
So now you know How much are UFC tickets? If your ready to start seriously looking at tickets then you can get the ball rolling right HERE.
First time or last time, nothing compares to a UFC event in the flesh, and the best place to look for all future events ticket information is right here at the MMAGateway.
Enjoy the fights, and see you soon!
Awesome Shannon! I can tell your a buzzed as me for this card 🙂 i heard today though that Cody migt not make teh fight due to an injury 🙁 but T.J Dillashaw vs Demetrious Johnson would be a good replacement – thanks for your feedback!


OVER 200 golfers will vie for glory in the President's Putter Golf tournament billed for Lusaka Golf Club tomorrow.
Organising committee chairperson David Kombe said in a statement yesterday that the annual event will be held from 08:00 hours to 14:00 hours.
"I wish to advise that the Lusaka Golf Club president, Mr Rajnish Sharma, will be hosting the President's Putter on Saturday, 23rd August followed by a formal black-tie gala dinner," Kombe said.
The President Putter is an annual event that brings together over 200 golfers from across the country that include chief executives and directors of major corporate organisations, senior government officials and prominent individuals.

Don't let your pupils be left wet and cold this winter!
It's that time of year again. The days get shorter and weather gets worse. Pupils' spirits begin to dampen with the downpour outside, whilst parents waiting for their children huddle together to stay out of the weather's wrath.
Of course it's not just parents and children who need protection from the elements; teachers are at risk of being caught in a storm of bother when entering and exiting the building, as well as walking from lesson to lesson.
But there is a solution! If you're in need of a structure to protect parents, pupils and staff from the dismal wet and windy weather this winter, then we have products to suit.
Entrance canopies are ideal for keeping staff and children covered as they enter or exit the premises. They're also a great way of ensuring entrance corridors are kept as dry as possible, minimising slips, falls and accidents.
Our entrance canopies come in all different shapes and sizes and are all bespoke manufactured to an individual school's requirements. They can even be produced in any colour to match your school identity, allowing the canopy to be the forefront of your school image.
If your school has multiple buildings strewn across its grounds and needs to provide students and teachers protection from the elements, then a walkway canopy is perfect for you! These bespoke canopies keep staff, pupils and visitors dry when walking between buildings.
Whether it's for a nursey or a university, we have the resource and experience to cater to all – our largest walkway canopy to date was more than 500 metres long!
A great addition to the playground or school yard, umbrella canopies offer rest bite from sudden downpours. They are also a great focal point on the school's grounds, and can even be used as a meeting point or to hold outdoor classes.
Like all other canopies, these can be painted in any colour, but, as it is a free standing canopy it comes in three pre-determined sizes spanning 5m, 6m and 7.5m.
Drop off and pick up times are always busy periods at schools, where parents normally congregate and chat to each other as they wait for their children.
In bad weather however, this becomes a miserable task. A parent waiting canopy can help alleviate the problem and keep them covered, whilst acting as a specific point where the children know their parents will be waiting.
What materials will be used to construct the canopies and can they guarantee weather protection from all elements?
All canopies are fully tested for wind and snow loadings. Our in-house structural engineer provides full site specific structural calculations to the latest Eurocodes and these are carried out for each individual installation.
For example, a canopy being installed at a school on high ground will have different specification requirements than one built on low ground.
Each canopy is made with Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP). Depending on the style and installation, steelwork will also be used, which is then matched to any desired colour finish, in line with the rest of the design.
The canopy systems provide protection from UV rays. The roof also comes with a Melinex gel coating which helps keep up to 90% of the sun's harmful rays away.
Are there any additional benefits from installing a canopy at a school?
With class sizes growing and a shortage of available classroom space at many schools, a canopy can offer an alternative to maximise outdoor areas.
They can also be a selling point to Ofsted inspectors and could help your school achieve an 'outstanding' rating.
If you'd like more information about a specific education canopy or would like to find out which one is right for you, contact us today!

Brian Baker demostrating how cheese strings.
Unless you're a cheese-making professional, the process involved in crafting cheese is not part of your general knowledge. And it shouldn't be. But if you're a fan of string cheese ― which you should be ― and you've ever wondered why in the world it strings when other cheeses don't, it's time to delve a little deeper into the cheese-making world.
First, we want you to know that the string-ability of cheese is a result of how the cheese is made and not some scary additive put into these mass-produced food. So go ahead and keep enjoying this snack.
So, what is string cheese, exactly?
Testing the stringiness of the cheese.
The answer is a simple one: it's mozzarella cheese. Jim Wallace of the New England Cheese Supply Company assures us that it is in fact just mozzarella cheese. It's made with the same simple ingredients: milk, culture and rennet.
Actually, string cheese cannot be created using the process of any other cheese aside from mozzarella, because mozzarella is the only cheese with that peel-apart quality, explains Brian Baker, president of award-winning string-cheese company Baker Cheese. Those cheese sticks made with other cheeses are not string cheese ― they're just a snack cheese, explains Baker.
So why does one string and the other not?
It's all about the process, say Wallace and Baker. And the alignment of protein.
Testing the stretchiness of the cheese.
When making mozzarella cheese, the cheese curds are heated to melt all the ingredients together into one cohesive molten cheese mass. This heating starts to move some of the milk proteins into alignment ― but not completely. Once the curds are melted, regular mozzarella is often pressed into a block or stretched and rolled into a ball. At this point, the mozzarella has a peel-able quality to it.

Public Attitudes Will Define Dairy Farm Sustainability
March 29, 2016 May 27, 2022 by RealAgriculture News Team
What makes a dairy farm sustainable?
The definition of sustainability would suggest the future of Canadian dairy farms would rest heavily on environmental, economic and social factors. Farms need to respect the environment, make money and also reflect the aspirations of consumers and their growing awareness of animal welfare.
In an era of increasing scrutiny of farming's social licence, University of British Columbia animal welfare professor Marina von Keyserlingk is working to better understand the demands society will place on dairy operations and how the industry can best respond to maintain freedom to operate.
"The dairy industry is obviously driven in large part by economics, and there's been…quite a bit of concern about getting their heads wrapped around the environmental aspect of sustainability," explains von Keyserlingk. "But really, the social pillar, for the most part, has been silent."
But the discussion of animal welfare and how to manage the potential impact is growing, led in part by Dairy Farmers of Canada which has funded the UBC program since 1997.
Speaking at the Western Canadian Dairy Seminar in March in Red Deer, AB, von Keyserlingk explained that a big part of her work is trying to understand the public's values and what they believe to be important. She's working to understand the public's perception of dairy farming, contrasting it what really happens on farms and looking for disconnects.
She explains that it's important to understand public expectations and what could happen to the industry it those expectations are not realized. For example, she notes that the public is largely unaware that cows and calves are separated at birth. She's not suggesting that producers keep cows and calves together, but part of her job is to do research to help identify what parts of the bond are important. From these conclusions, it may be possible to make scientific recommendations on how to best manage cows and calves to meet farming needs and public demands.

The other big issues that will continue to gain traction with the public is access to pasture. "If you look at nearly every milk cartoon, what is the picture?" asks von Keyserlingk. "It's a picture of a little red barn and cows on pasture. We don't have really good data in Canada, but the last U.S. census showed that in the United States…less than 5% of all dairy cows — lactating dairy cows — have access to pasture. That is not the picture that the public thinks."
This could have serious implications for farmers," says von Keyserlingk. "When you have this disconnect, what you're ultimately messing with is trust."
von Keyserlingk doesn't have all the answers, but she'll be studying what aspects of pasture are most important to the cow. Some of her work has already scientifically documented how cows prefer to stay inside on a sunny days to seek shade and venture outdoors at night. "But she still eats the TMR that the farmer gives her and she really likes that. We're trying to understand that."
She is also looking to determine whether pasture or fresh air is most important to cattle. Depending on the answer, von Keyserlingk says the dairy industry may be able to adopt exercise lows to meet potential public opposition to confinement housing.

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville may be keeping few friends and doing itself few favors.
The office made news for releasing problematic holiday guidelines, which most notably contained anti-Christmas sentiments. While the guidelines have been replaced, state lawmakers reacted by calling for defunding.
Tuesday began with a "study-in" in solidarity with UT's Office for Diversity and Inclusion after nearly a week of nationwide controversy over UT's alleged "war on Christmas." But the mood shifted and many students and faculty demanded answers when the administration backtracked from the online post that led to the uproar — a list of suggestions on how to make "holiday parties" more inclusive and less religious-themed — and announced the office's chief, Vice Chancellor Rickey Hall, had been "counseled" and would no longer control his office's website, which will now be overseen by Vice Chancellor for Communications Margie Nichols.
Motivation for the replacement is not so encouraging, as Chancellor Jimmy Cheek mentioned the guidelines contained contradictions. It resulted from thinking "about ways that we can better control the messages that we put on our website." While Cheek is proud of the office overall, he was disappointed in the guidelines.
The explanation from Hall also was problematic. "We are deeply disappointed that the Web posting has become divisive; certainly that wasn't the intent," he mentioned. "My intent has been to include." It is hard to imagine how the posting could have been anything but divisive.
Students seemed to be satisfied in the response, however, who renewed their support after Tuesday's meeting. Hall also enjoys "100 percent" support from Josh Oliver, a sophomore who is the secretary of the Black Student Union. Oliver explained that Hall has supported students, which involved helping the group to form last spring. Oliver even provided excuses, as he says the controversies "drained" and "exhausted" Hall.
When it comes to Cheek, support is mixed. His resignation has been called for, but the faculty senate has stood by him.
At the meeting, both Cheek and Hall encouraged students to meet with lawmakers. Time and votes will tell if the office efforts work, or if they're only digging themselves into a deeper whole.

Thanks, Dan; it was a pleasure attending to your presentation in Madrid.
Saw your talk at On AIR in London – brilliant! So brilliant that I went home and tried the AIR to Desktop NativeDrag exercise in Flash CS3. One thing I came across was when calling "dragImage.draw( dragButton );" using a circle shape as the movieclip was that it created a square shape filling in the parts of the movieclip that were transparent.
I tried using a transparent png as the bitmap data for the drag and this worked, so is there a way to set my movieclip bitmap data to work in the same way as transparent png bitmap data?
Thanks for posting the files. I enjoyed your session in London and it was good talking to you. Hoping your trip home went smoothly.


Now that the NCAA tournament has started, most of the backlash and criticism surrounding the brackets this year has been drowned out by the excitement of what is still the greatest thing going in sports. How can anyone complain when there's basketball on from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm? Still, the NCAA needs to take a hard look at some of the issues w/ the job of the Selection Committee, such as the lack of consistency in assessing teams and more importantly the role of committee member influence in the selection process.
I predicted this level of disaster would actually happen last year when the NCAA made the home/road adjustments for the first time. The crude adjustments make the ratings even more misleading and inaccurate than the old ratings, which is really saying something. However, Bowlsby & Co. were bailed out by relying on the Sagarin ratings, which is a very good body-of-work index. After using just the New RPI this year, Littlepage made Bowlsby look like a genious by comparison.
But Littlepage can't really be blamed for relying on the information that is put in front of him. He can't do anything other than take the numbers at face value and assume that they provide useful and accurate information on the thing they were designed to measure.
Of course, the Committee says every year that the RPI plays a very small role in the selection process, however it's clear that this year that the 'numbers' did play a large role in most of the decisions where the committee deviated from the general consensus. The issue isn't the fact that the Committee relied on the numbers. The issues is the numbers that the Committee relied on were misleading. If the numbers were better, the Committee would've made far better decisions.
To demonstrate what I'm talking about, take a look at the various examples below. The RPI numbers are shown in comparison with their JCI counterparts. The JCI information is a far more accurate assessment of what the RPI factors are trying to represent. In each case, ask yourself: 'Do you think the Selection Committee would've reached the same conclusion if they had the second line of information instead of the first?' If the answer is yes, then you know the numbers played a large role.
Note: My last 10 figure looks at how the team performed relative to the rankings over the last 10 games, so captures who you are playing (and where it's at). A +.1 or -.1 would mean that the team won one more/one less game than would be expected for a team with that ranking.
Comment: Get used to the wide differences in NC RPI and NC SOS -- you'll start to notice a lot of it.
Comment: UCLA probably gets most of its lift simply by playing Arizona, the most overinflated team on the list, 3 times. UCLA gets 3 Top 25 wins when Arizona shouldn't even be considered Top 50. You can see how this can have a major impact on a team's resume. Even if the RPI is used simply as an organizational tool, as the NCAA hs suggested, it can create misleading results due to misclassifying teams.
Comment: Oklahoma is simply not a very good basketball team. UW-Milwaukee had to be licking their chops when they saw Oklahoma as a #6 seed. Their RPI numbers are inflated across the board.
Comment: Hard to rip on Washington's seed after they knocked off my Illini, but it's amazing just how far off that NC SOS can be.
Comment: Having the George Mason AD on the Selection Committee probably did more for their cause then the numbers, but the numbers are inflated across the board. Look at the difference in NC SOS (a reoccuring theme)...32 vs. 115! Every year you have some controversial pick end up going deep in the tourney, making the Committee look like they knew what they were doing. This year it's George Mason. Kudos for knocking off Michigan State and North Carolina, but George Mason didn't earn the opportunity to play those teams.
Comment: Congrats to Lute Olsen and the Arizona staff for beating the system. I guess this how you guarantee that you'll keep that 25-year tourney streak going.
Comment: Cal barely fits the profile of a tournament-worthy team, much less a 7 seed.
Comment: Littlepage called Air Force a 'tough out', but does being a tough out mean losing to #161 Wyoming in the first round of the conference tournament (they also lost to Wyoming in the regular season)? Air Force simply was not a tournament-caliber team.
Comment: There's not much more I can say about Utah State, other than directing you to click here and here. This statement just about sums it up: Utah State was slightly more deserving of a tournament bid than Northwestern (13-15) and DePaul (12-15).
Comment: It sure would've been nice to see Illinois get a better draw than they did. It's clear that their deflated RPI and SOS played a role, because there's no other way to justify them as a '4' seed. I just hope they learn to schedule a little better in the future.
Comment: GW definitely got dinged for their weak schedule, especially in non-conference play. I'm not going to defend their schedule, but the numbers aren't as bad as the RPI would've led the Committee to believe. Even with the injury to Pops, GW deserved a better draw.
Comment: The Anti-UCLA. Misclassification of teams hurt Pitt, where instead of having 4 Top 25 wins and 9 top 50 wins, the RPI shows them with 3 and 7, respectively.
Comment: NC St's number are deflated across the board. I guess taking down Cal in the first round can't be considered too much of an upset. Maybe their seeds should've been flipped.
Comment: If the Committee values performance over the last 10 games, then Texas A&M is one team that deserved even more credit than they received. A 8-2 record given their schedule is over 2 games better than expected for a typical 38th-ranked team.
Comment: Cincinnati should've been a tournament team either way you look at it. Maybe they got dinged for their 5-5 finish, but my Last 10 measure shows that going 5-5 given their last 10 games is roughly consistent with expectations for a 30th-ranked team.
Comment: Michigan definitely got dinged for their lackluster finish, but you'd have to overweight their last 10 games to a unfair degree before they would look inferior to Air Force or Utah State. Is it body-of-work or not? Body-of-work says Michigan is in.
Comment: If the Committee had the JCI numbers, there's no question that Florida St is in. If Utah State gets credit for coming close to beating #31 Nevada, shouldn't Florida St get credit for beating one-seeded Duke?
Comment: Missouri St is the scapegoat so the Committee can say they don't rely on the RPI. It's clear from Littlepage's comments that they had a number in mind for MVC bids: 4. Missouri St lost out when compared to the other MVC teams.
The Missouri St debacle might be an example of where the Committee had some sense that the RPI numbers were inaccurate in the case of the MVC teams, since it did get a lot of press, but they didn't have any sense on just how far they were off. This forced them down the alternate path of comparing the MVC teams head-to-head and setting the cut-off at four. While it's true that Missouri State's RPI numbers were inflated, their true numbers would've still been enough to get them in.


On behalf of Ronald H. Kauffman, P.A. posted in Divorce on Tuesday, September 2, 2014.
A writer at Huffington Post describes what a late-in-life divorce is like when her husband of 27 years sat her down on their new chaise lounge and told her he loved somebody else.
I've written on the phenomenon of gray divorces before. In 1990, 1 in 10 persons who divorced was 50 or older. By 2011, according to the American Community Survey, more than more than 1 in 4 were aged 50 or older.
Are women to blame? Women have long been more sensitive to – or less tolerant of – a mediocre relationship than men and are less willing to just 'wait it out.
Several other factors include societal acceptance of divorce, increased economic autonomy of women and lengthening life expectancies.

Moving away from Apple Mail to Thunderbird? Have you thought about how you will move away the emails from Apple Mail to Thunderbird?
Of course, you have. Otherwise, you'd not be here reading about Apple Mail to Thunderbird migration.
So basically, this migration methods involves transferring all that you have stored in Apple Mail client into Thunderbird through means that are safe, easy, and quick. But it's not that simple. The manual conversion methods are not exactly quick and easy, and the good third-party solutions are not easy to find.
The reason why it is not that simple is because there is no official in-built support on either Apple Mail or Thunderbird to transfer data without any outside help. Therefore, you either need to go through convoluted and elabore manual steps, or use a simple commercial tool.
The one that we constantly recommend is "Mail Extractor Max" for several reasons. It is the only tool for Mac users that doesn't wallow in inefficient programming like all other tools. Built with extreme care and dedication for clean data export from USL Software, the tool brings the best approach till date for Apple Mail to Thunderbird migration.
It supports automatic loading of your Apple Mail database, as opposed to MBOX files that many converters require.
The tool also keeps the folder hierarchy similar after the conversion.
It lets you convert Apple Mail to other formats not just limited to Thunderbird, such as- RGE, MBOX, EML, etc.
The data-rate (speed) is extremely quick. You can convert GB of your Apple Mail data into Thunderbird within few minutes.
With such extensive range of functionality, you will not find any better tool anywhere else. Apple Mail to Thunderbird migration can be quite tedious, but "Mail Extractor Max" has turned that status quo upside down.
To use, "Mail Extractor Max" is even easier.
I am talking about its interface. If you take a look at other tools for Apple Mail to Thunderbird migration, you'd see a lot of unnecessary options and buttons that do not make the tool more functional. In fact, it overwhelms both beginners and experts.
"Mail Extractor Max," on the other hand, is truly basic and clean (in spite of its modern functionalities). All the features are nicely formatted into a single screen wizard that even a complete novice user can make sense of.
So, what are you waiting for? Download the free trial version right now that allows you to convert ten items per folder without any restriction on the actual features.

Ieshia Camps' incredible accomplishment was possible because of her kids.
When Ieshia Camps was 7 years old, she dreamed of one day becoming a lawyer. But by the time she was a teenager she was homeless, pregnant with her first child, and had dropped out of high school to work at a call center.
"I really didn't have any stable guidance at that time," she told CBS. "My mom was addicted to drugs. My dad was deceased. And I was homeless. I lived with friends or whoever would take me in." Later, while pregnant with her fourth child, she lost her home, her job, and her children's father to cancer in the space of a year.
After completing her GED, she earned her bachelor's from the University of Houston-Downtown and will now graduate from Texas Southern University's Thurgood Marshall School of Law in May. To celebrate her upcoming graduation, she posted photos with her five kids, whom she credits with helping her through school.
With her faith and perseverance, Ieshia has overcome all barriers to accomplish her goals. Now, the photos have gone viral as thousands celebrate Ieshia and her family's success with them.

I hope you are ready for the most magical Christmas celebration in the world! Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is my personal favorite event of the year at the Walt Disney World Resort. It combines all my favorites; Christmas, Disney, and Magic Kingdom Park! It truly is a very merry Christmas party.
Diane, because the party is not an actual reservation, it won't automatically show up in your itinerary. But there is a way to add it, so you can see it in your plans. Simply log into your My Disney Experience account from your desktop. In your itinerary, on the top left side of the page, you'll see a drop-down menu that says Add Plans. Select Add a Note, enter the event details, share with family and friends, or skip and choose Add note. Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Now you will be able to see the party listed in your plans.
I hope this information was helpful! During your visit, if you have the time, I highly recommend visiting the resort hotels. They are simply stunning during the holidays! I especially love Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Each year they build a life-sized gingerbread house that is a sight to behold. You don't want to miss it!

Copper's About to Go Into Short Supply
Rich Duprey, The Motley Fool
It was only last month that Freeport-McMoRan got its massive Grasberg gold and copper mine in Indonesia going again following a two-month hiatus as the government investigated a series of tragic mishaps.
Yet with the first shipments of copper concentrate out the door and full production having not yet been realized, a new threat looms as a government ban on exports of unprocessed copper is poised to go into effect in 2014. Freeport only processes about 40% of its copper in-country, and unless it can get special dispensation from Indonesia it will have to cut back on production.
Grasberg is the world's largest gold mine and is its third-largest copper mine. Freeport had expected that it would produce some 500,000 tonnes of copper in 2013, along with 1.25 million ounces of gold. As a result of the stoppage, however, concentrates of gold, copper, and silver will come up short, and the ban could make make it even shorter next year.
The miner has been negotiating with the Indonesian government for a new contract for some time now, even though it's current contract expires in 2021. Freeport is looking to invest some $15 billion and is seeking assurances that the investment will be worthwhile.
Yet in an effort to comply with the new regulations, Freeport entered into memorandums of understanding with two local smelters to process its concentrates, but the hitch is that they won't go into production until 2017. Without being given the flexibility to bypass the new rules, the miner will be forced to cut production to meet the new restrictions.
Copper mining operations may also be threatened in Chile where Barrick Gold's Pascua-Lama gold project has been stalled. The country's leading candidate for the presidency recently said that the country's mining royalties system needs to be reworked while adjustments to the funding policies for government-owned Codelco, the world's biggest copper miner, also needed to be implemented. Chile itself is the largest producer of the red metal, with BHP Billiton, GlencoreXstrata, and Anglo American having a significant presence there that would also be affected by a more restrictive environment.
The left-leaning opposition candidate says Barrick needs to comply with the government's dictates before being allowed to go forward, suggesting she won't be allowing the miner to alter the slower pace it's been forced to set. With the $8.5 billion project stalled, Barrick has said that it will reduce capex spending on Pascua-Lama by $1.5 billion-$1.8 billion this year and next.
Similarly, Rio Tinto and its subsidiary Turquoise Hill Resources have been at loggerheads with the Mongolian government over their Oyu Tolgoi project, another massive copper and gold mine suffering from seemingly endless delays. While it was supposedly given the green light again last month, reports that Rio Tinto has laid off thousands of workers suggest all is still not well. The government has twice previously stopped work from progressing.
Copper is widely used in construction, automobile production, and electronics, so perceptions on global economic growth play a large role in how its traded. It got a boost recently as Europe showed surprising economic strength even as China -- the world's largest consumer of the metal -- saw its economy slow.
If Freeport's Grasberg production is severely curtailed, expect the metal's price to soar. Copper already trades 8% higher than it did just two weeks ago, and while it's still below its year-ago level it's close to reaching parity. The copper price boom I've been waiting for may soon be upon us.
If gold is still your thing, though, and you think the big declines it's suffered are only setting the stage for the next bull run, The Motley Fool's new free report, "The Best Way to Play Gold Right Now," dissects the recent volatility and provides a guide for gold investing.

Q: How to fasten nested for-loop R I have two datasets, and one of them is very big. I'm trying to run the following loop to create a treatment column, treatment, in the dataset a. However, it is way too slow. I looked for a way to fasten for-loops like vectorization or defining conditions outside the loops however I'm having a hard time applying those methods since I have two datasets I'm conditioning on.
Here is my code:
reform_loop <- function(a, b){
  for(i in 1:nrow(a)) {

    for(j in 1:nrow(b)){
      if(!is.na(a[i,"treatment"])){break}

      a[i,"treatment"] <- case_when(a[i,"country_code"] == b[j, "country_code"] &
                            a[i,"birth_year"] >= b[j,"cohort"] &
                            a[i,"birth_year"]<= b[j,"upper_cutoff"] ~ 1,

                          a[i,"country_code"] == b[j, "country_code"] &
                            a[i,"birth_year"] < b[j,"cohort"]&
                            a[i,"birth_year"]>= b[j,"lower_cutoff"] ~ 0)

    }
  }
  return(a)
}

a <- reform_loop(a, b)

You can find a sample dataset below. Dataset a is an individual dataset with birth year informations and dataset b is country-level data with some country reform information. treatment is 1 if thebirth_year is between the cohort and upper_cutoff and 0 if between cohort and lower_cutoff in a specific country which means country_code variables should also be matched. And anything else should be NA.
#individual level data, birth years
a <- data.frame (country_code = c(2,2,2,10,10,10,10,8),
                               birth_year = c(1920,1930,1940,1970,1980,1990, 2000, 1910))
#country level reform info with affected cohorts
b <- data.frame(country_code = c(2,10,10,11),
                      lower_cutoff = c(1928, 1975, 1907, 1934),
                      upper_cutoff = c(1948, 1995, 1927, 1948),
                      cohort = c(1938, 1985, 1917, 1942))

The following is the result I want to get:
treatment <- c(NA, 0, 1, NA, 0, 1, NA, NA)

Unfortunately, I cannot merge these two datasets since most of the countries in my dataset have more than one reform.
Any ideas on how can I fasten this code? Thank you so much in advance!

A: This is a range-based non-equi join. As such, this can be done with data.table or fuzzyjoin or sqldf.
data.table
library(data.table)
setDT(a)
setDT(b)
b[, treatment := 1L]
a[b, treatment := i.treatment, on = .(country_code, birth_year >= lower_cutoff, birth_year <= upper_cutoff)]
a[is.na(treatment), treatment := 0L]
a
#    country_code birth_year treatment
#           <num>      <num>     <int>
# 1:            2       1920         0

# 8:            8       1910         0

sqldf
out <- sqldf::sqldf("select a.*, b.treatment from a left join b on a.country_code=b.country_code and a.birth_year between b.lower_cutoff and b.upper_cutoff")
out$treatment[is.na(out$treatment)] <- 0L

and then you need to clean up the extra columns (and fill 0 for NA).

General Biotechnology / Plant Biotechnology
Applications in Horticulture and Forestry
In recent years, the application of micropropagation techniques as an alternative mean of asexual propagation of important plants has increased the interest of workers in various field. The micropropagation techniques are preferred over the conventional asexual propagation methods because of the following reasons : (a) in this method only a small amount of tissue is needed as the initial explant for regeneration of millions of clonal plants in a year, (b) this method provides a possible alternative method for developing resistance in many species; (c) it provides a mean for international exchange of plant materials, hence the problem for introduction of disease can be solved in quarantine; (d) in vitro stock can be quickly proliferated as it is not season dependent, and (e) valuable germplasm can be stored for a long time (Hu and Want, 1983; Mascarenhas and Muralidharan, 1989).
Regeneration of plantlets in cultured plant cell and tissues has been achieved in many trees of high economic value. Many of the studies are aimed at large scale micropropagation of important trees yielding fuel, pulp, timber, oils or fruits. Therefore, clonal forestry and horticulture are gaining an increasing recognition as an alternative for tree improvement. However, strategies for transferring cultured plants from in vitro to field conditions are based on relatively higher priced horticultural species rather than agricultural and forestry species (Fossard, 1987).
Regeneration of plantlets in cultured tissue has been described (Murashige, 1974) to be accomplished into 3 stages (see shoot culture)'. Fossard (1987) has given a detailed account of stages of micropropagation (see Shoot culture and micropropagation).
At planting out stage the plantlets fail to survive because of sudden change in the environment and invasion by soil microbes. Jagannathan (1987) has described that the regenerates should be transferred first to green house and then to field. The humidity should be controlled by covering the plants with transparent polyethylene sheets. This acclimatization requires several weeks which should be followed by potting into sterile peat or soil.
In recent years, the interest has, aroused in commercializing the in vitro propagation of forest trees. This will bring about refinement in the existing procedures to make micropropagation more cost effective. Mascarenhas, Muralidharan and coworkers are making efforts to commercialize this biotechnology with respect to forest trees. However, development of automated procedure, plant delivery systems using somatic embryos and artificial seeds are also in progress.
For betterment and improvement of tree plants of high economic value a break through in forestry research has come with production of artificial seeds in Eucalyptus (Muralidharan and Mascarenhas, 1989), and genetic transformation and in vitro regeneration in conifers (Gupta, 1989). Moreover, micropropagation has been successfully done in many trees (Gupta et al. 1980, 1981; Jaiswal and Pratap Narayan, 1985; Amin and Jaiswal, 1988; Mascarenhas and Muralidharan, 1989).
Mascarenhas and Muralidharan (1989) reviewed the tissue culture studies carried out on forest trees in India. Some of the important plants are : Acacia nilotica, Albizia lebbeck, A. procera, Azadirachta indica, Bauhinia purpurea, Butea monosperma, Dalbergia sp., Dendrocalmus strictus, Eucalyptus sp. Ficus religiosa, Morus sp., Populus sp., Shorea robusta, Tectona grandis (all angiosperms), Biota oriental's, Cedrus deodara, Cryptomena japonica, Picea smithiana, Pinus sp. (all gymnosperms).
In Vitro Establishment of Mycorrhiza
Mycorrhizal fungi show highest level of specialization of parasitism. But the major problems with them is their failure to grow on an artificial medium in laboratory. Therefore, establishment and multiplication of mycorrhizal fungi on cultured tissue of the same host plant, if successfully developed, may be a good tool for handling mycorrhizal fungi, production of high potential inoculum and their establishment in root systems of nursery plants in horticulture and forestry, and plantation of mycorrhiza-infested seedlings into field. Only one report is available on this work. Kiernan et al. (1984) successfully produced strawberry plants by tissue culture which was infected by a mycorrhizal fungus, Glomus sp.
Many attempts have been made to establish Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi in axenic culture but unfortunately none of them got success. It was assumed that self inhibition of hyphal growth occurs in the growing germ tubes and the self inhibition compounds were recovered by adding activated charcoal into an agar medium that absorbs inhibitory compounds produced by germ tubes into medium. Cultures of mycorrhizas synthesized aseptically are grouped into two : the whole plant cultures and excised root cultures. Both the types of cultures are known as genetobiotic or monogenic systems (Rhodes, 1983). Due to presence of two organisms, it is also known as two member culture.
Mosse (1962) for the first time, reported the establishment of two member cultures. Appressorium formation and root penetration were much more likely to occur if a Pseudomonas sp. was present in culture. It is, therefore, suggested that 3 organisms i.e. fungus-plant-bacterium might be necessary for the development of symbiosis.
Moreover, mycorrhizal fungi have been cultured only on cortical tissues of roots which were separated from the whole plant, as in root organ cultures where it acted as food base. VAM fungi have very high degree of specialization for food base on root cortex (Rhodes, 1983).

Faith, Hope & Love (2019)
By kenmorefield, March 22, 2019 in Reviews
kenmorefield
Supergenius
Interests:Disc Golf, Cards (especially Euchre), Literary Criticism,
Faith, Hope & Love unites two of the most formulaic genres in today's movies: the romantic comedy and the "Christian" film. Given that starting point, the film shouldn't work nearly as well as it does. But even if you go in expecting to cringe and roll your eyes, you end up smiling at and rooting for its endearing characters.
In an unexpected but undeniable way, the weaknesses of both genres are complemented rather than exacerbated by the tropes of the other.
For example, the late Roger Ebert once famously opined that the writing challenge of the romantic comedy was not bringing two people together but keeping them credibly apart for the bulk of the movie. Faith Turley (Peta Murgatroyd) and Jimmy Hope (Robert Krantz) are thrown together by a pro-am dance contest. She's a dance instructor who has had bad luck with men; he's a charming widower afraid to let himself love again. If we know in the first five minutes that they are perfect for each other, why should they take so long?
As it turns out, because of religion. Faith is anthropologically curious about Jimmy's matter-of-fact faith. But that's not part of what she's looking for in a guy. Jimmy seems attracted to his vibrant, sexy dance instructor — what single male, Christian or otherwise, wouldn't be? But all his relationships are tinged with grief, and he admittedly is not ready to move on from the memory of his loving, Christian marriage.
One of the ways the religious angle elevates the worst parts of the romantic comedy angle is it allows the characters to be at least marginally self-aware people who have understandable but surmountable reservations about the relationship. Hope is attracted to the promise of rest offered in the gospel, but she is also aware of being let down by men in the past and has a hard time trusting God because she has a hard time trusting anyone. Yes, the exposition of these themes is rote, usually delivered through dialogue, and the plotting is is generic — Jimmy takes Hope on a fake date to try to engender jealousy in an indifferent boyfriend. But the film is refreshingly uninterested in keeping the characters oblivious to their own budding attraction. Things don't turn on a sudden epiphany of what (or who) they have been blind to so much as on a gradual coming to terms with what is holding them back. This feels a lot more like how relationships work in the so-called "real world."
In the same vein, the treatment of the romance helps smooth over some of the problems with Christian genre films. A part of Jimmy's and Hope's attraction is sexual in nature, and that part is accentuated by the sensuality of their dances, particularly the Tango. Yes, the film uses dancing as a shorthand symbol for letting go of relational control (who leads), but there is something decidedly non-metaphorical about two actual bodies entwined together or in Faith's wowzer of a ballroom dress. It doesn't hurt that Krantz and Murgatroyd have genuine chemistry together and that her dance training provides Faith with a more confident physical presence than we are used to seeing in Christian movies. Not that Faith or the film is slutty or sexually aggressive. But the film is more interested in the ways these two characters channel their attractions than in asking them to deny them, more astute than most Christian films about the ways "attraction," while not being an adequate foundation for a healthy relationship, can be and often is a catalyst for one.
When Faith, Hope & Love moves away from the prospective lovers, usually to Jimmy's work, it loses steam and tries too hard to be zany without really having any bite. (Corbin Bernsen does deliver the film's one audible laugh as Jimmy's boss when he equates dancing with playing "dress up" as one of those things all Christians do in the privacy of their bedroom but don't ever talk about publicly.) But if the co-workers are two-dimensional sitcom props, Jimmy's daughters are a bit more realistic than we are used to from the genre. The older of the two wears make-up and lobbies for a 1:00 a.m. curfew, but she is also responsible enough to come home early when people at a party start doing "stupid stuff." Her dad, rather than interrogating her about it, trusts the values that he and his deceased wife have instilled in her and that she routinely but imperfectly reflects back. This too looks and feels like how Christian relationships are in the "real world" as opposed to the overly sentimentalized or sanitized Christian-movie world.
Ultimately this is Krantz's and Murgatroyd's film, and they do what all actors in memorable romances do — they make you care about their characters and root for their happiness. That their happiness involves a spiritual as well as a carnal union will be a bonus for Christian viewers but may not even be a deal breaker for those who don't share Jimmy's faith. The film presents religion not so much as the thing that will make all relationships work but as the thing that makes this relationship work. In that sense, it's a testimonial rather than a sermon, and a rather sweet one at that.

Why Trash It When You Can Repurpose It?
Are you replacing your bedroom set, yet you don't want to just trash the set? Well, we can help you with saving the dresser. We've got quite a few ideas to help you spice up that old dresser, or give it a brand new life! Check out some ideas below.
Simply taking out the top few rows of drawers and adding a support at the bottom can turn any dresser into a beautiful new bookshelf!
This one may not be as easy as the others, but it sure looks nice. This is a great idea for someone who is looking for a new area to sit without giving up the storage aspect of the dresser!
With this idea, you'll be adding more storage structure to your dresser. This is a great idea if you're looking for a new way to store your tools and belongings in a workshop, in a children's bedroom, or anywhere else! This is a useful idea instead of getting a brand new dresser.
This idea includes taking out the drawers of a dresser and adding supports so that you can throw your shoes in the openings. Whether you take out all the drawers or just a few is up to you!
When you cut away the bottom portions of an old dresser, it will become a hall table! Again, it takes some work, but it's so worth it.
This is a bit similar to the shoe cubby, but used for a completely different purpose! Take out the bottom drawers, give it a new look with some sanding, painting, and fixtures, add a few support features for the inside, and ta-da! You've got yourself a new entertainment center!
Have you tried to repurpose an old dresser of yours? Or do you know someone that has? We'd love to see it! We always want to see your ideas come to life. Just send us your pictures and a little explanation of what you did, and we'd love to share it on our Facebook and Instagram. Check back and see what other ideas we have for repurposing soon!

Q: What are some of the benefits of participating in the Clinic?
A: The Clinic provides students hands-on training on client representation and casework. By working on real cases, students confront first-hand the many challenges involved in the practice of law. By working with real clients in real cases, students appreciate the value of public service and the importance of access to justice.
Q: What do students do in the Clinic?
A: Students conduct in-depth interviews and learn effective techniques for interviewing and counseling children and survivors of violent crimes. Students also learn fact investigation skills as they work to develop and strengthen their cases to prepare them for filing with the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). Students lead case strategy discussions and often address difficult inadmissibility issues. They sharpen their writing skills and learn the importance of attention to detail in completing immigration applications. Ultimately, students develop strong advocacy skills, build self-confidence as legal advocates and reflect on important societal and policy issues. They end the semester practice-ready.
Q: What are the hour requirements for students working in the Clinic?
A: Students are expected to work about 17 hours per week at the Clinic. This includes classroom time (reading and preparing for class and completing course assignments), case supervision, client work, community work and administrative duties. Students are required to work 8 hours at the clinic and must be available for community outreach work. Clinic office hours are set at the beginning of the semester based on student availability. Students work during regular business days, Monday through Friday between 9-6 PM.
Because the weekly hour requirement may vary due to case demands, students must have flexible schedules and be available during regular business hours for clinic work.
A: The community outreach component is more important than ever given the widespread fear and uncertainty in the immigrant community. ILC was ready and willing to mobilize quickly following the 2016 presidential election. In response to fear and anxiety about aggressive immigration enforcement, ILC students conducted Know-Your-Rights presentations to high school students and their parents, community members and social service providers. This included what to do if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) comes to your home, work or school, and safety-planning for undocumented parents. Some ILC students conducted role-play skits on what to do if stopped by ICE in the street or if ICE knocks on your door at home.
A: The ILC is a well-established legal service provider. The Clinic has provided free legal services for years and students have become trusted advocates and allies to the immigrant community. Cases are referred to the Immigration Law Clinic from non-profit organizations and social service providers and many clients refer their friends, neighbors and family members to the clinic.
A: To be eligible for the Clinic, students must be in good academic standing and have completed their first year of study. The Immigration Clinic does not require prerequisite courses, but does recommend Immigration Law, Evidence, Children and the Law, and Legal Profession prior to or concurrent with enrollment.
A: Interested students must submit an Immigration Law Clinic application available on the Portal at MySWLAW. The Clinic gives preference to third- and fourth-year students who have not had prior in-house clinic experience and to students with public interest and other work or volunteer experience. Fluency in another language is not required. Selection is not be based on academic rank.
A: The class meets on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. The classroom component focuses on substantive and procedural law, professional responsibility and development of written and oral advocacy skills.
The Immigration Law Clinic is a five unit semester course and is graded. There are no course prerequisites and no final examination. Interested students must submit an Immigration Law Clinic application and resume via the Portal at MySWLAW. Enrollment in the Clinic is limited.
Law students, working under the supervision and guidance of Professor Ramos, represent children and adults in immigration matters. The Clinic will provide free legal representation to clients in Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) (clients under the age of 21), Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), U nonimmigrant status (U visa) and U-based Adjustment of Status cases. This involves cases where clients have been abused, neglected or abandoned or have been victims of a serious crime. Students represent clients before the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) and possibly before the Immigration Court and Juvenile Court. Students are primarily responsible for their cases, including interviewing clients, developing case strategy, conducting fact investigations, preparing immigration applications and presenting cases before the USCIS.
The Clinic includes a community outreach component where students conduct Know-Your-Rights presentations.
The Clinic meets one day per week for a two hour class. The classroom component focuses on substantive and procedural law, professional responsibility and development of advocacy skills. Students work approximately 17 hours per week on Clinic activities and must be flexible with the hour requirement in order to be responsive to case demands.
Continuing its commitment to provide students with hands-on training in specialized areas of law, Southwestern established the Immigration Appeals Practicum (IAP) with the law firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP (MTO). Students selected for this practicum work under the supervision of MTO attorneys to represent pro bono clients in appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), providing students with a rigorous and immersive experience in practice-oriented written legal analysis on cases that raise complex legal questions. Students have the opportunity to hone their craft while working on incredibly challenging and interesting legal issues.
Cases are secured through the BIA's Pro Bono Project, which was created to increase pro bono representation for individuals detained by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement with immigration cases under appeal. See more information about the BIA Pro Bono Project here.
Each student is paired with an MTO attorney and assigned a BIA appellate brief that must be completed before the end of the semester. Students conduct research, outline the arguments and collaborate with the supervising attorney to draft the brief. The attorney then works with the student to refine and perfect it, followed by filing the brief with the BIA. Up to two students are selected for the practicum each semester, and they earn three units of ungraded externship credit.
Those who wish to participate must have demonstrated an interest in immigration and appellate law, a strong academic record and proven writing ability. Interested students must submit an Immigration Appeals Practicum application, resume and writing sample to Professor Andrea Ramos. Applications are available on MySWLAW (log-in required). Click here to read more background on the Immigration Appeals Practicum and the impetus behind it.
Southwestern students may find the clinic application and other details on the MySWLAW portal (log-in required). See Sample Law Student Application (for reference only) in sidebar.
Southwestern's Immigration Law Clinic provides free legal representation to low-income children and adults in Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) (clients under the age of 21), Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and U nonimmigrant status (U Visa) cases. The Clinic is staffed by law students who represent clients under the supervision of Professor Andrea Ramos. Students learn many facets of professional responsibility such as client confidentiality, responsiveness to client demands and accountability for their work. For many students, this is the first opportunity to take the lead on a case and directly serve the community.
Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA) provides temporary authorization for individuals to be present in the U.S. during the period of deferred action. It is a form of prosecutorial discretion. DACA does not grant lawful status.
The Clinic has partnered with a local high school to provide a pro bono DACA self-help clinic to the East Los Angeles community. This is a three-part community project. First, ILC students conduct an informational presentation at the high school and screen audience members for DACA-eligibility. Second, ILC students meet with eligible applicants for an evidence-gathering workshop where they carefully review all supporting documents and conduct an in-depth intake. Third, ILC holds a self-help clinic at the law school where Clinic students complete a DACA application for each pro per applicant.
The Clinic is a semester course; it is five units and graded. The grade is based on performance on casework and community work, including client interviewing and counseling, advocacy work, research and writing and office management.

Randall Rutta
When it works efficiently, the immune system is an elegant masterpiece of defense mechanisms warding off foreign invaders, including bacteria, cancers and the current novel coronavirus. For as many as 50 million Americans, however, a glitch in the system leads to chronic disease that can be difficult to identify and harder to manage.
"The body literally turns on its own tissues with a disproportionate overreaction," noted Randall Rutta, president and CEO of the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA). That internal attack manifests in scores of ways with targeted assaults on organs, tissues, joints, glands or the entire body. "We now believe there are at least 130 separately identifiable autoimmune diseases," said Rutta.
AARDA was founded in 1991 by Virginia Ladd, who herself has autoimmune disease and was a leader in the lupus movement. Although support organizations and research efforts existed for a number of the more well-known autoimmune diseases including lupus, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, Ladd began to wonder why there wasn't an umbrella organization to advocate for all the diseases that fall into the autoimmune category. "We needed to understand the common denominator of those diseases," Rutta said of the impetus to form AARDA. "Sadly, to this day, we still don't fully understand the underlying causes of autoimmune disease."
While there are still many mysteries, Rutta said a lot has been discovered over the ensuing decades. Autoimmune disease primarily impacts women, often in their late teens, 20s, 30s and 40s as they are building careers and families. There is a familial component to developing autoimmune disease and having one disorder increases the risk of developing others over a lifetime. "Thirty percent of people who have a single autoimmune disease will actually have two or more," explained Rutta, adding support for those with multiple conditions is exactly why AARDA is so unique and important.
Even with an increasing body of scientific evidence, pinpointing a specific autoimmune disease is often a difficult endeavor for both patients and providers. Although some conditions like type 1 diabetes have definitive markers, most diseases in the autoimmune spectrum are much more difficult to identify. "The journey to diagnosis can take three to five to seven ... or even 10 ... years," said Rutta. "It's the rare person who on first referral gets to the specialist who will ultimately treat them." Rutta noted getting the right combination of referral, diagnosis and treatment remains tough for many Americans. "One of AARDA's key objectives is shortening that time to diagnosis," he added.
While providers are more aware of autoimmune disorders now, diagnosing still relies heavily on a process of elimination. "Fatigue is a shared condition across almost all autoimmune disease," said Rutta. However, AARDA found the way fatigue is interpreted varies significantly by gender. Rutta said the organization funded a study several years ago focused on fatigue. Men who told providers they felt constantly fatigued were taken seriously. The women were often told everyone gets tired and were labeled chronic complainers. "There's definitely a gender bias there," Rutta stated.
One of the problems, he continued, is accurately measuring levels of fatigue. While everyone does get tired at times, those with autoimmune disease typically face overwhelming fatigue that can make it difficult to even get out of bed at times. Rutta said AARDA is proposing a collaboration with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to better understand how fatigue is being identified as a first step toward improving measurement and benchmarking of the common symptom.
Despite ongoing diagnostic difficulties in autoimmune disease, Rutta said, "It's still an area, from a medical science perspective, that's advanced leaps and bounds."
After years without targeted medication options, there have been significant advances more recently. "Increasingly, physicians can choose from multiple treatment options," said Rutta. "Previously, the only option was to manage symptoms with steroids - often with severe side effects and lasting damage."
He continued, "What we have seen that has been life-changing advancements in biologics. These are breakthrough medicines produced by living organisms." Rutta added the field has advanced to a point where biosimilars are beginning to become available, making treatments more widely accessible and affordable than the original branded biologics.
"Gene therapies hold a lot of promise that are just coming on the horizon," continued Rutta. He noted with excitement that these newer developments could potentially lead to cure rather than symptom management.
Newer rules and regulations for orphan and rare drugs have also helped. Through the FDA fast track program for breakthrough drugs, teprotumumab-trbw has just been approved to treat thyroid eye disease (TED), most commonly associated with Graves' disease. The rare condition causes the muscles and fatty tissue behind the eyes to become inflamed, causing the eyes to push forward and bulge outwards. Previously, the only hope to slow the disease was steroid injection or to surgically scrape sockets to try to make more room for the eye.
"If this new drug is administered to someone during the five-year active phase of the disease, the result for many patients is to stop progression and even reverse harmful effects," said Rutta.
He continued, "This also speaks to why the journey to diagnosis needs to be faster." To that end, Rutta also is encouraged by the discovery of more biomarkers and advancing diagnostic tools to improve time to treatment.
"We knew right away when the CDC started talking about underlying conditions, those with autoimmune disease would be included," said Rutta. However, he added, much of the public messaging has focused on diabetes, heart disease and respiratory illnesses. Part of AARDA's task has been getting the word out that everyone with any form of autoimmune disease is at higher risk for more severe disease with the current coronavirus. AARDA established a dedicated COVID-19 resource on the website to ensure accurate information is available.
On the treatment front, he said, "COVID-19 has been very disruptive. For most people sheltering in place, they couldn't just ask for an extra 30-day supply of medicine."
Drugs and biologics to treat autoimmune disorders are often expensive with high co-pays that could make it cost prohibitive to prepay for extra months, even if a patient could get it approved. Additionally, a lot of patients receive infusions or injections at hospital-based clinics. Between overwhelmed hospitals and patients trying to steer clear of potential coronavirus hot spots, it has made it difficult to receive treatment. Rutta said AARDA applauds emerging actions by the government and insurers to help patients stick with their treatment regimens during the pandemic, through extra refills, options for home treatment, and telemedicine.
"Then, along comes the idea that hydroxychloroquine might treat the coronavirus, and all of a sudden lupus patients and Sjogren's patients, who also rely on it to survive, call their pharmacies and can't get it," said Rutta. "Those are real challenges for people with autoimmune disease. It's causing fear and stress. If there's one thing we know about autoimmune disease, it's that stress exacerbates their condition."
AARDA, on behalf of the National Coalition of Autoimmune Patient Groups, is co-hosting a virtual national briefing with the CDC in early April to discuss aspects of the pandemic that are of particular relevance to their constituency. Additionally, Rutta said AARDA is actively talking to legislators about ensuring access to medications and approving additional sites of care, potentially even in a patient's home, during the pandemic.
Ensuring patients have access to needed treatments isn't uniquely a COVID- challenge. Instead, it is an ongoing battle for many. "Too often insurance plans and PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) use step therapy - utilization management practices and policies designed to control costs that are medically appropriate for the general population," explained Rutta. He added these policies often "cause unwarranted suffering and lasting damages for patients forced to take medicines they know will not help them or delay effective and prescribed treatments."
AARDA also looks to physicians to craft the coordinated, integrated care needed to manage autoimmune disease, and Rutta said treatment decisions should always be made by physicians in consultation with patients. "Providers must take a patient-centered view ... trust the patient in their description of their condition," he noted, adding it's also critical to engage patients as active partners and advocates in their own health and wellness.
Rutta urged employers, payers, legislators, providers and other decision-makers to keep those with autoimmune diseases in mind when crafting policies, treatment regimens and regulations. "If we can all understand autoimmune disease is a natural part of the human condition, we should make sure we aren't putting any barriers in place to inhibit people from living their best lives as we look for cures or therapies to manage symptoms," he concluded.
Supporting the Science
With so many unknowns about the underlying cause or causes of autoimmune disease, AARDA President and CEO Randall Rutta said the best way to find answers is to support the researchers asking questions. AARDA promotes innovation and discovery through a number of grants and programs.
Direct research investment includes the Virginia T. Ladd Young Investigators Program, Noel R. Rose Scientific Colloquia, and Johns Hopkins Autoimmunity Awareness and Intern Diversity.
The Autoimmune Research Network - ARNet - is a registry of more than 22,000 patients that serves as a common databank for researchers and clinical trials. Created in conjunction with other autoimmune disease groups, the goal is to improve representation in clinical trials, which often have exclusion criteria preventing those with chronic or multiple conditions from participating. Additionally, the goal is to increase equity by encouraging greater participation along gender, race, age and ethnicity.
AARDA also supports science through education by hosting physician conferences to share information and foster greater collaboration, as well as seminars to educate and empower patients and families.

Q: Extract 2 fields from 2 different lines I have the below lines in my file
# Employee Id  : ABC123,
# Employee Name: Vivek
# Employee Type: Temp                     Join Date: 31-jan-2014  Buz Code: 2098
# Employee Comments:
#              Replacement for Jane
#   Country: India
#   State: Delhi
#
# Employee Id  : GGG67,
# Employee Name: Kumar
# Employee Type: Temp                     Join Date:15-jan-2014  Buz Code: 2176
# Employee Comments:
#   Country: India
#   State: Delhi
#   Street: Kanot

From this, I need Employee ID, Employee Name and Buz Code in a table format for all employees. I tried with awk, but no results as expected.
Any suggestion?

A: It would seem less like a homework assignment if you showed what you've already tried.  That said, here's a start - you need to grab the fields by matching on the field names, but not output them until you hit the next record. It would be convenient if there's a "#" between all records as you show...
$ awk -F: -f t.awk t
 ABC123,  Vivek
 GGG67,  Kumar

It's helpful with longer awk scripts to store them in a separate file
$ cat t.awk
/Employee Id/ {empid=$2}
/Employee Name/ {name=$2}
/#/ {print empid, name} # What happens if the next record is missing name?
END {print empid, name}

Or as a one-liner:
$ awk -F: '/Employee Id/ {empid=$2}; /Employee Name/ {name=$2}; /#/ {print empid, name}; END {print empid, name}' t

A: $ awk '{printf /Employee Id|Employee Name|Buz Code/? $NF" " : " "}' file

Prints last field $NF if found any pattern that matched like Employee Id or| ...
else? print single space" ".
Result in column order:
ABC123, Vivek 2098      GGG67, Kumar 2176

OR
awk '/Employee Id|Employee Name|Buz Code/ {if(++i%4==0) printf RS;printf $NF FS }' file

Note that RS means newline\n and FS means single space(by default).
Result in row order:
ABC123, Vivek 2098
GGG67, Kumar 2176

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1920s → 1928 → February 1928 → 14 February 1928 → Lords Sitting
JUDICIAL VACANCIES.
HL Deb 14 February 1928 vol 70 cc98-100 98
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (VISCOUNT CAVE) rose to move, That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty representing that the state of business in the King's Bench Division requires that vacancies (not exceeding two) should be filled in the number of Puisne Judges of the King's Bench Division notwithstanding that the number of those Judges amounts to fifteen or upwards, and praying that his Majesty will be graciously pleased to fill such vacancies accordingly in pursuance of the Supreme Court of Judicature (Consolidation) Act, 1925. The noble and learned Viscount said: My Lords, you may remember that we passed a Resolution of this kind last Session but owing to want of time it could not be taken in another place. The Address is to be moved in another place to-day and I think it desirable to ask your Lordships to pass the Address again this Session. There is nothing in the Act which expressly says that an Address of this character must be adopted in the two Houses in one Session of Parliament; but the Act requires an Address from both Houses, and I think it would be in accordance with our parliamentary practice that the Address should be moved in both Houses in the same Session. I hope your Lordships will not object to passing the Motion a second time. The need of the additional Judges is even greater than before, for the arrears of business have grown.
§ Moved, That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty representing that the state of business in the King's Bench Division requires that vacancies (not exceeding two) should be filled in the number of Puisne Judges of the King's Bench Division notwithstanding that the number of those Judges amounts to fifteen or upwards, and praying that His Majesty will be graciously pleased to fill such vacancies accordingly in pursuance of the Supreme Court of Judicature (Consolidation) Act, 1025.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ VISCOUNT HALDANE
My Lords, I only wish to say that from those whom I represent here no opposition will be offered to the Motion. The matter is one for the executive Government to judge, and the only people who can judge are those who represent the executive Government. On looking into the figures I do not think that the expenditure involved is large, but at all events it is highly desirable that justice should be done and done in the shortest time. If in the view of the Government that requires the filling of these vacancies, so far as we are concerned we do not wish to interfere with the responsibilities of the Government.
§ EARL BEAUCHAMP
My Lords, no doubt your Lordships will remember that last year when this matter was discussed there were various suggestions put forward with regard to reforms of the judicial system. I was rather hoping that the noble and learned Viscount on the Woolsack would have been able to tell us that some progress had been made with regard to those matters. The noble and learned Viscount will remember that there were two directions in which some reforms were urged by members of your Lordships' House. First it was urged that there should be a considerable revision of the Assize system, and secondly that there should be a shortening of the long vacation. Nothing, I think, has been done with regard to shortening the long vacation, which those of us here who try to do our duty envy the fortunate members of the Judicial Bench, though I hope that there will be some rules issued shortly which will show that something is to be done in regard to the 100 revision of the Assize system. Whether that be so or not, I venture to invite the noble and learned Viscount on the Woolsack to tell us whether any steps have been taken with regard to either of these matters of reform, which have been mentioned more than once in your Lordships' House and in which I think people in the country take a considerable amount of interest.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR
My Lords, with regard to the Assize system, I think your Lordships will know that something has been done in recent times. There was in the last Administration of Justice Act a section which provided that where an Assize was deemed to be unnecessary in a particular place it might be dispensed with and the prisoner, or the prisoners if there was more than one, transferred to a neighbouring Assize. I said on the last occasion that that provision had not been used. It has been used since and I think it will have a very beneficial effect, but I would rather wait to see how that enactment works before proposing any further change with regard to Assizes. As for the long vacation, that is an old question. No doubt the noble Earl knows that our long vacation in England is shorter than the long vacation in any other English-speaking country, very much shorter. Any change is in the hands of the Council of Judges. Whether they will make any further change I do not know, but I have no doubt that the speeches made in your Lordships' House will have sunk into their minds. I would like to add that I think the present system of bringing forward periodically a fresh Motion for two new Judges is inconvenient. It means that there is a gap between the time when a Judge disappears and the time when an Address can be moved. I wish to inform the House that when there is an opportunity I shall propose to ask Parliament to deal with this particular practice.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to, and Address ordered to be presented to His Majesty by the Lords with White Staves.
§ House adjourned at twenty-five minutes past five o'clock.
