Twenty years after the Frank Gehry–designed Guggenheim Abu Dhabi was first announced in 2006, the museum may finally have its grand opening.
Yesterday at a press conference in Basel, Switzerland, Richard Armstrong, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, announced that the Abu Dhabi satellite museum is scheduled to open in 2026. At 320,000 square feet, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will be the largest of the Guggenheim outposts and will rise on Saadiyat Island, a ground-up cultural district run by the state-owned Tourism Development & Investment Company that also plays host to other cultural institutions like Jean Nouvel's Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Of course, any regular reader of AN will know that this isn't the first time Armstrong has claimed that work was proceeding as scheduled and that ground would soon be broken. In a 2019 interview with Euronews at Abu Dhabi's annual Culture Summit, he said that the project was on track to break ground and that the museum could open its doors in 2022 or 2023. Despite numerous media outlets trumpeting that work was finally set to begin, obviously, that didn't happen; this time the delay was partially caused by the global coronavirus pandemic. Last year the Guggenheim, confronted with a major cash shortfall after worldwide museum attendance plummeted, was forced to slash exhibitions and furlough employees, and a global construction slowdown over transmission fears didn't help either.
Gehry's Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Set to Begin Construction
In Basel, Armstrong reiterated the museum's commitment to fulfilling Gehry's vision. Initial plans to open in 2012 were stymied by the worldwide recession at the tail-end of the Bush years, and in 2017, Armstrong's predecessor Thomas Krens said that the project might never be realized given the new economic paradigm and over fears that the museum could become a target for terrorists. Yesterday, however, Armstrong said that the completed museum will be Gehry's "big, late masterpiece," even after the size of the building was cut back from the originally planned 450,000 square feet.
Still, the delay hasn't come without some benefit. The Guggenheim has spent the last 12 years building its acquisitions and has already built up a collection of more than 600 pieces of post-1965 artworks with a global focus. Armstrong said that some of the pieces that will go up in the new museum are of a "heroic" scale, befitting the new building's grand size. Will the long-delayed Emirati museum finally break ground soon after a string of similar proclamations?

Blomstedt, Cecilia K., O'Donnell, Natalie H., Bjarnholt, Nanna, Neale, Alan D., Hamill, John D., Møller, Birger Lindberg and Gleadow, Roslyn M. 2016, Metabolic consequences of knocking out UGT85B1, the gene encoding the glucosyltransferase required for synthesis of dhurrin in Sorghum bicolor (L. Moench), Plant and cell physiology, vol. 57, no. 2, Special issue : marchantia polymorpha, pp. 373-386, doi: 10.1093/pcp/pcv153.
Many important food crops produce cyanogenic glucosides as natural defense compounds to protect against herbivory or pathogen attack. It has also been suggested that these nitrogen-based secondary metabolites act as storage reserves of nitrogen. In sorghum, three key genes, CYP79A1, CYP71E1 and UGT85B1, encode two Cytochrome P450s and a glycosyltransferase, respectively, the enzymes essential for synthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin. Here, we report the use of targeted induced local lesions in genomes (TILLING) to identify a line with a mutation resulting in a premature stop codon in the N-terminal region of UGT85B1. Plants homozygous for this mutation do not produce dhurrin and are designated tcd2 (totally cyanide deficient 2) mutants. They have reduced vigor, being dwarfed, with poor root development and low fertility. Analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) shows that tcd2 mutants accumulate numerous dhurrin pathway-derived metabolites, some of which are similar to those observed in transgenic Arabidopsis expressing the CYP79A1 and CYP71E1 genes. Our results demonstrate that UGT85B1 is essential for formation of dhurrin in sorghum with no co-expressed endogenous UDP-glucosyltransferases able to replace it. The tcd2 mutant suffers from self-intoxication because sorghum does not have a feedback mechanism to inhibit the initial steps of dhurrin biosynthesis when the glucosyltransferase activity required to complete the synthesis of dhurrin is lacking. The LC-MS analyses also revealed the presence of metabolites in the tcd2 mutant which have been suggested to be derived from dhurrin via endogenous pathways for nitrogen recovery, thus indicating which enzymes may be involved in such pathways.


After catching four passes as a rookie, Roberts is looking to return to being the pass-catching threat he was in college.
Allen Park — At no point in his NFL career is a player expected to improve more than from year one to two.
The learning process for a rookie is a whirlwind of information that can be overwhelming for many to process. By year two, there's a comfort level. A player is able to absorb and apply information more quickly with a season's worth of practice, film study and on-field application.
For the Detroit Lions, there's lofty expectations for the team's second-year players.
Linebacker Jarrad Davis, after shouldering a heavy workload in 2017, will be looked to as a leader of the defense this season. Cornerback Teez Tabor, the team's second-round pick a year ago, spent much of his first season learning from the bench, before carving out a role late in the year. And despite a stacked depth chart in the secondary, Tabor's role and production should grow significantly. And third-round receiver Kenny Golladay, who battled a hamstring injury as a rookie, is viewed as a legitimate big-play threat as the third option in the passing game.
But of all the Lions' second-year players, the one with perhaps the best opportunity to improve his role is tight end Michael Roberts.
The Lions overhauled the tight end room this offseason. Gone are former first-round pick Eric Ebron and veteran Darren Fells, who combined to account for nearly 1,100 snaps while recording 70 catches for 751 yards and seven touchdowns in 2017.
In their place, the Lions signed a pair of veterans to one-year deals. And while their potential is better than the past production, Willson and Levine Toilolo did muster only 27 receptions and 275 yards between them last season.
That turnover creates an opening for Roberts, who saw 220 snaps as a rookie, to take advantage of the opportunity.
A premier red-zone threat coming out of Toledo, Roberts caught 16 touchdown passes his senior season. But with Ebron and Fells handling most of the pass-catching assignments for the Lions last season, the team focused on building up Roberts as a blocker.
By the end of the season, his improvement in that area was apparent. According to Pro Football Focus, Roberts graded out as the team's best run-blocking tight end last season.
With a foundation built on his blocking, Roberts is looking to expand his contributions within the offense this season. As a rookie he caught only four passes, but during last week's OTA practice, he hauled in three touchdowns. That included a pair requiring full extension, and another over his shoulder, teasing the weapon he can be.

AU Blasts New Texas Law Banning Most Abortions
Oct 03, 2021 AU Blasts New Texas Law Banning Most Abortions
Americans United criticized the U.S. Supreme Court's failure to block a new Texas law that essentially bans abortions by the sixth week of pregnancy – before most people know they are pregnant.
The law, which the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block pending a legal challenge to it, also allows anyone in the country to sue Texas abortion providers or any person who helps someone obtain an abortion after six weeks. That includes anyone who gives a pregnant person a ride to a clinic or helps pay for the procedure. Private citizens who bring these suits don't need to show any connection to the person seeking an abortion. If the lawsuit is successful, the person who brought the suit will be awarded a judgment of $10,000.
"Abortion bans are the result of the crumbling of church-state separation," said Rachel Laser, Americans United's president and CEO, in a media statement. "The First Amendment prohibits the government from imposing one set of religious beliefs on others, but Texas' new draconian law and other attempts by states to ban reproductive freedom do just that. Blocking abortion access is just one item on the Christian nationalist agenda that religious extremists and their lawmaker allies are pushing, to force all of us to live by their beliefs."

The Invictus Games Foundation joined the cycling competition at the Royal Botanic Gardens on Sunday. As competitors, family members, and supporters milled around the track, we caught up with one of Team Estonia for the Invictus Games Sydney 2018.
Margus Hoop is a big Estonian, and looks tough.
It's a little intimidating, and as I gingerly squeeze on to the seat next to him, all I can think is don't annoy him, don't offend him. Saying the wrong thing to a man this size could definitely ruin my day… and his.
But actually, upon making eye contact, Margus' face lights up with a welcoming smile that puts everyone around him at ease.
Margus has spent nearly half of his life in the Estonian army – 14 years to be precise, and at 32 he shows a worldly maturity that often comes with Service.
"Well…" he sighs. It feels like this is well worn story for Margus, as he goes through the motions of explaining how back in 2014 on a peacekeeping mission to the Central African Republic, he contracted a virus that affected his nervous system. So horrific was the virus, that Margus ended up in a wheelchair.
It's stunning to think of this hulk of a man as not having the strength to even lift his spoon.
It took four months of intensive rehabilitation to get him able to take just a few steps again and even now, four years on, he is still not able to move as freely as he once did.
Expecting to hear the regular responses of what pushes the competitors on their journey to recovery, I was surprised at his somewhat unusual answer.
"I'm sorry, did you say dance?!" Although Margus has already belied his size with his gentle nature and warm smile, I still have to double check that between my hearing and his accent, I haven't got this completely wrong.
"Yes, dance. I love to dance." He says. Completely straight faced.
"What kind of dancing?" I ask. At this point, every cliché and bias about hard-looking Estonians had gone flying – at speed – out of the window.
"Look, everyone needs a goal and my motivation was to dance again. This helps." He gestures out toward the park, where hundreds of Serving and ex-Servicemen and women are warming up ahead of the cycling time trials.
The young 32 year old is also the team captain. This is his third Invictus Games.
"I see my role as captain as being about helping to support and motivate those around me." Having spent the last 30 minutes with Margus, you can't help but like the guy and it's clear his teammates in the Estonian camp genuinely love him. If anyone is going to keep your spirits up, it's this Rhumba dancing, jolly giant.
It's a powerful reminder, chatting with Margus, that everyone has their own reasons for being here.
Whether it's wanting to get fit enough to "play footie with my boy again", as one Team UK competitor put it; "to give me a sense of purpose again", as a Romanian cyclist explained or even to dance the Rhumba again.
"Are you a dancer too?" I ask one of his pals as I make my way out. A confused scowl shoots back.
I guess for him, it's strictly Invictus Games.


You may recall my post from way back in August about future OS interfaces…well, Newsweek (which is apparently now part of MSNBC) has a good article that gives a decent overview of Apple's Mac OS X, Microsoft's .NET and Eazel's Nautilus environment. Mmmm…tasty!
In typical Microsoft fashion, the .NET solution seems to be focused on technical accomplishment rather than solving actual usability problems or improving user experience. Their solution, to make everything a web page, must surely have been born in the executive washroom, rather than in a meeting of skilled interaction designers. I do like the idea of a "universal type-in" bar though. Jef Raskin discusses this is his fabulous book, "The Humane Interface." It'll be interesting to see how Microsoft implements it.
Eazel's inclusion of a "beginner, intermediate, expert" selector seems like the kind of solution that people who don't really know too much about interaction design would support. I can't tell you how many times I've heard frustrated computer users say, "I wish I could just set this to beginner," as if that would magically solve all the human-computer interaction problems. Further supporting my opinion is the fact that their solution seems to be getting a lot of support from industry heavyweights like Dell and Sun (or at least from their execs – who probably don't know the first thing about HCI). I must applaud Eazel's efforts though. They'll need big industry support to capture the market away from other desktop environments, such as KDE. I also like their inclusion of a zoomable interface. Unfortunately, I think the idea of having to worry about files and know about the file system is an idea whose time had passed.
I don't really think any of the solutions above solves all of the problems with current OS interfaces, but I feel confident in saying that they are all taking at least some steps in the right direction. Plus, all this activity at the same time is exciting!
By the way, Andy Hertzfeld, of Eazel, will be giving a talk entitled, "Improving the Usability of Free Software" at the 01/BayCHI meeting tomorrow. Anyone want to join me?

The Californian OOPArt versus Darwin's Theory of Evolution
Archaeologists, anthropologists and geologists in the field sometimes discover objects in seemingly impossible contexts, which don't immediately fit their models of evolution or history as we know it. The term used to describe these anomalies is 'OOPArt' (out-of-place artifacts) and they challenge conventional history by hinting vanished civilizations had technology more advanced than that of modern times or that mankind is much older than what we have calculated it to be. The term OOPArt is most often used by cryptozoologists, ancient astronaut theorists, young and old Earth creationists and those interested in the paranormal. Historian Ashley Cowie embarks on some skullduggery exposé.
The Face on Mars was one of the most striking and remarkable images taken during the Viking missions to the red planet. Unmistakably resembling a human face, the image caused many to hypothesize that it was the work of an extraterrestrial civilization. Later images revealed that it was a mundane feature rendered face-like by the angle of the Sun. Picture: NASA. ( Public Domain )
Examples of Famous OOPArts
A famous OOPArt is the Cydonia Head on Mars, which the Mars Global Surveyor photographed on the surface of the red planet, on April 5, 1998. As thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting for conformation of an alien super race, it was revealed there was no alien monument after all and the feature was as a natural landform and that lighting had given it the apparition of a face. OOPArts come in all shapes and sizes, for example, hundreds of people have come forward with what look like alien screws embedded in 350 million-year-old rocks, only to find they are actually the fossilized stems of crinoids, ancient sea lilies.

The Skull that Challenged Darwin
North America has been a hot bed of OOPArts and over the last two centuries hundreds have been presented to the authorities, but none so paradigm threatening as a particular skull that was said to have been recovered 39 meters (128 feet) underground in February 1866, in the county of Calaveras, California. The team of gold miners who discovered the skull, subsequently called the Calaveras Skull, contacted Dr Josiah Dwight Whitney , professor of geology at Harvard University (from 1865), and chief of the California Geological Survey (1860–1874), to evaluate their extraordinary find.

Many see what they want to see. When we first saw the 'face' on Mars, I couldn't believe the intelligence, or lack of it, from thousands of people thinking it was anything more than the sun on a piece of rock, but there we have it.

DASTJERDĀNĪ, JAMĀL-AL-DĪN, Il-khanid bureaucrat. He first came to prominence as inspector of awqāf (pious endowments) in Iraq in 683/1284. Later, during the reign of Arḡūn (683-90/1284-91), he acted as kāteb (scribe) to the Jewish administrator Saʿd-al-Dawla, who was attempting to repair the financial ravages of Būqā, who is notable for having been the only Mongol to have headed the Il-khanid Persian bureaucracy. During the brief reign of Bāydū (694/1295) Jamāl-al-Dīn served as chief vizier (ṣāḥeb-dīvān; Jomādā I 694-Ṣafar 695/March-November 1295). He was restored to that office a few months later by the new ruler, Ḡāzān Khan (694-703/1295-1304), succeeding Šaraf-al-Dīn Semnānī. But his good fortune lasted a very short time: He was brought to trial on charges instigated by one of his predecessors, Ṣadr-al-Dīn Zanjānī, who then succeeded him. During his trial the alleged facts of treasonable correspondence between the influential Amir Nowrūz and the Mamlūks during the reign of Bāydū came to light. Dastjerdānī was said to have prepared, on the orders of Nowrūz, a substitute version of the "genuine" correspondence, in order to present it to Ḡāzān Khan. The version produced at the trial was, however, according to J. A. Boyle (pp. 382-83), a forgery concocted by Nowrūz's enemy Ṣadr al-Dīn. This incident precipitated a crisis leading to Nowrūz's fall and death. Jamāl-al-Dīn was himself executed on 28 Ḏu'l-ḥejja 695/27 October 1296.

Q: Wadge Hierarchy on $\Delta^{0}_{2}$ sets i'm studying the Wadge hierarchy on Baire space and Cantor space. I'm asking whether or not the $\Delta^0_2$ sets form a unique degree in these spaces and why the $\Sigma^0_2$-true (i.e. not polish) subsets of $2^\omega$ form a unique degree. Moreover, which results for $\omega^\omega$ can i say also for $2^\omega$?
I'll thanks anyone let me know more about the relation between wadge hierarchy and on these spaces and their boldface pointclasses.

A: I'll answer about the boldface versions.
The ambiguous class $\boldsymbol\Delta_2^0$ comprises $\omega_1$ levels of the Wadge hierarchy (see Kecrhis' book on descriptive set theory, Exercise 21.16, and the many references therein).
Sets in $\boldsymbol\Sigma_\alpha^0 \setminus \boldsymbol\Pi_\alpha^0$ are complete, and from this it follows that they are all inter-reducible, and hence in a unique degree.
Finally, all the results hold uniformly of all zero dimensional Polish spaces, in particular $A^\omega$ for any countable $A$.

Donato delivers dominant Double-A debut
Astros prospect throws 6 2/3 scoreless innings, strikes out 10
Chad Donato came up one strikeout shy of the career high he set last Aug. 31 for Class A Quad Cities. (Olivia Rook/Corpus Christi Hooks)
By Shlomo Sprung / MiLB.com | July 6, 2019 10:59 PM
Things could not have gone much better for Houston-area native Chad Donato in his Double-A debut for his hometown team.
The Astros prospect gave up two hits and two walks and recorded a season-high 10 strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings, leading Corpus Christi to a 10-0 triumph over Midland on Saturday night at Whataburger Field.
Video: Hooks' Donato gets 10th punchout in debut
Donato said he had about 30 people in the stands supporting him, from his parents, his wife and their 8-month-old daughter to friends and his high school coach.
"They were really excited," he said. "They don't get to see a lot of my pro outings. It really made me feel good to come out here tonight and dominate tonight for them. I'm glad to be back in Texas and have them [be] a part of this journey."
The fans welcomed the Cypress native back to the area and greeted him enthusiastically as he warmed up and took the mound.
"That was really awesome, having that home welcoming," he said. "That really gave me some energy in the stadium."
Donato struck out the side in the first inning and, after issuing a leadoff walk to Taylor Motter in the second, fanned the next two RockHounds. Including those two strikeouts, the 24-year-old retired 12 batters in a row -- six on strikes -- and took a no-hitter into the sixth.
"I was really able to spot my fastball, put it where I wanted and be able to land my off-speed," Donato said, "throwing it through the zone with aggression for strikes."
Donato tried not to let the possibility of a no-hitter get to him.
"I honestly didn't pay attention," he said. "I went out there and kept commanding my pitches, throwing them through the strike zone. I knew my strikeouts were getting high, but I didn't want to think about it, to be honest."
A's No. 17 prospect Kevin Merrell hit Donato's 1-1 pitch into center field to lead off the sixth, ending the no-hit bid, and stole second when Collin Theroux was retired on his 10th and final strikeout. He got back-to-back ground balls to end the threat and retired the first two batters in the seventh before walking Nate Mondou and giving up a double to Edwin Diaz.
Donato received a standing ovation as he walked to the Hooks dugout.
"It really gave me the chills," he said. "They knew that I was from Texas, little hometown boy. It made me feel really good about myself, and I'm excited to be part of this club. Just tip my hat to the fans. There was great energy in the stadium tonight. It was an unbelievable experience."
After Donato threw 74 of 99 pitches for strikes, Leovanny Rodriguez fanned Brallan Perez to strand both runners in scoring position.
Gameday box score
The right-hander made 15 appearances, including 13 starts, for Class A Advanced Fayetteville and went 3-9 with a 5.84 ERA, 72 strikeouts and 24 walks over 69 1/3 innings. Last season, the West Virginia University product threw 77 2/3 innings between Class A Short Season Tri-Cities and Class A Quad Cities and was 9-0 with 1.62 ERA in 12 starts among 15 appearances. He struck out 98 and walked 22.
Donato said that while his statistics with Fayetteville may not have been gaudy, they were partly the result of things not going his way.
"The numbers weren't where I wanted them to be," he said, "but for them to give me that call and for them to trust me to come to Double-A and get a start and show them what I've got, that's really good to have them in my corner."
2019 MiLB include
Donato also missed his daughter, who visited him twice this season in Fayetteville.
"Not being able to see her every day and watch her grow up" was especially tough, he said. "And now she's getting some teeth and I missed [some] of those first-time experiences. But now that I'm back in Texas, hopefully, I'll be able to interact a lot more and be there for her."
Donato spent some time with his friends and family after the game, and brought his daughter to the mound to take a couple of photos to remember a special night.
"Just starting this journey off for her," he said, "to know you [could] live your dreams and they do come true."
Astros No. 20 prospect Abraham Toro went 4-for-5 with an RBI in his third straight multi-hit game for the Hooks.

Here at Dental Care Today, PC we don't just love teeth—we love YOUR teeth. Your teeth, smile, and complete oral health are extremely important to each member of our team. However, unless you're a dentist yourself, you probably don't share our level of enthusiasm for great oral health (nor would it be normal for you to do so).
Modern science continues to connect the dots between your oral health and your overall health. So it's not only important to be concerned about how your teeth affect your appearance, but it's also important to understand all of the things that go on inside your mouth.
In part, that's why our social media tools are so important to us. Not only do they help us stay connected with you, our valued patients, but they also help us inform and educate. Any dental practice can make claims about how satisfied their patients are with their static website with a bunch of "filler" information, but lets be honest—websites can oftentimes be boring. Here at Dental Care Today, PC, we've created a dynamic online environment where we can interact with you, learn how to serve you better, and have fun along the way.
Fun? A dental practice… ABSOLUTELY! What's cool about connecting with us through social media is that it's honest, transparent, and spontaneous. The best way to BE ASSURED you're with the right dentist is by getting to know us in this untraditional, and "un-staged" way. The fact is, we all prefer associating with people we ENJOY being around. It's just human nature. YOU'LL get to know our practice culture better, and WE'LL get to know YOU better too.

Apple finally gets watchOS 2 update rolling out to users
Apple missed last week's scheduled launch, but today the watchOS 2 update is finally available to Apple Watch users.
Apple could have its electric car ready to go before 2020
Published on 21 September 2015, 13:46 EDT
smartwatch,
watchos,
Last Wednesday, Apple made iOS 9 updates available to its existing lineup of iPhones and iPads, and in the days since we've seen adoption take hold at a record pace. But iOS 9 wasn't supposed to be the only software we got last week, and its arrival was supposed to come arm-in-arm with the release of watchOS 2 for the Apple Watch. At the last minute, we got word that wasn't going to happen as scheduled, and that Apple was working to resolve an extant bug before making the software available to users. Apple told us that the bug-resolved update would be landing "shortly," and today the company makes good on that promise.
The biggest deal in watchOS 2 almost undeniably its native app support, enabling new functionality and drastically speeding-up performance, as apps need no longer rely on their connection to an iPhone for every operation they perform. We also see the arrival of new customization options (including time-lapse watchface imagery), and what Apple's calling Time Travel, a standardized system for peeking ahead (or backwards) in time when checking on things like your schedule or the weather forecast.
There's a whole lot more going on here, and stuff like email replies, improved transit info, and extended Apple Pay support all come together to help flesh out the experience. It may be some time before native apps get mature enough to really impress, but at least all these other features are available now – go ahead and get your watchOS 2 update installed to start checking them all out for yourself.

Q: Angular routes / router unable to get fragment when also catching parameters I am working on an angular web app, on the home page there are sections that use fragment for scrolling (intro, about, contact), I also have social logins using odic which return parameters (e.g. blah?=stuff_#) in fact I see a url with a long fragment prior to it when I login, which annoyingly starts with #.
I have found that the two do not work together, and am wodering if anyone can help me get around the issue?
I tried ngx-scroll-to but for some reason it didn't work at all. (Probably because I use ngx-sidebar which wraps the page content). If I disable one function the the other works, but never together.
in my app.component.ts the 2 functions are within ngOnInit:
  ngOnInit(): void {
this.router.events.subscribe(s => {
  if (s instanceof NavigationEnd) {
      const tree = this.router.parseUrl(this.router.url);
      if (tree.fragment && !tree.queryParams) {
      const element = document.querySelector("#" + tree.fragment);
      if (element) { element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "instant", block: "start", inline: "start" }); }
      }
  }
});

this.activatedRoute.queryParams.subscribe((params: Params) => {
  const param = params['externalLoginStatus'];
  if (param) {
    const status = <ExternalLoginStatus>+param;
    switch (status) {
      case ExternalLoginStatus.CreateAccount:
        this.router.navigate(['createaccount']);
        break;

      default:
        break;
    }
  }
});

}
as you can see I tried adding "!tree.queryParams" to the first function, which didn't help!
I was wondering if there was a way to put the functions together and process them so /home#intro etc is recognised as an anchor but anything else is parsed on to process for social login... I suppose I could test the fragment against some stored values and if its not in that then continue with the other function?? Any ideas welcome! Thanks in advance.

A: I figured out how to combine them, and it seems to work;
I think the issue was that I was using 2 subscriptions... I can't be sure. Here's the code from my OnInit anyway on the off chance it may help someone else:
>     this.fragSub = this.router.events.subscribe(s => {
      if (s instanceof NavigationEnd) {
          const tree = this.router.parseUrl(this.router.url);
          if (tree.fragment) {
              let element;
              switch (tree.fragment) {
                  case 'intro':
                      element = document.querySelector("#" + tree.fragment)
                      if (element) { element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "instant", block: "start", inline: "start" }); };
                      break;
                  case 'about':
                      element = document.querySelector("#" + tree.fragment)
                      if (element) { element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "instant", block: "start", inline: "start" }); };
                      break;
                  case 'contact':
                      element = document.querySelector("#" + tree.fragment)
                      if (element) { element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "instant", block: "start", inline: "start" }); };
                      break;
                  default:
                      break;
              }
          }
      }
      const tree = this.router.parseUrl(this.router.url);
      if (tree.queryParams['externalLoginStatus']) {
          const param = tree.queryParams['externalLoginStatus'];
          if (param) {
              const status = <ExternalLoginStatus>+param;
              switch (status) {
                  case ExternalLoginStatus.CreateAccount:
                      this.router.navigate(['createaccount']);
                      break;

                  default:
                      break;
              }
          }
      }

In 1916, AACSB International was established as a membership organization for business schools—a place where business schools could network and discuss issues that affected the business education industry and their institutions. In 1919, the first AACSB Accreditation Standards were adopted with the primary objective of improving collegiate business education. In 1980, an additional set of accreditation standards were developed for undergraduate and graduate-level degree programs in accounting to address the special needs of the profession. Throughout the years, both the AACSB Business and Accounting Accreditation Standards have been continually revised to reflect the ever-changing needs of business and its students.
Today, the AACSB Accreditation Standards are used as the basis to evaluate a business school's mission, operations, faculty qualifications and contributions, programs, and other critical areas. AACSB accreditation ensures students and parents that the business school is providing a top-quality education. It also ensures employers that AACSB-accredited business school graduates are ready to perform on day one. Additionally, AACSB accreditation provides many benefits to the faculty and staff at its accredited schools by attracting higher quality students, providing greater research opportunities, and allowing for global recognition.

We think of discrimination as being about hate and holding certain people back. But it can be just the opposite.
Most people think of discrimination as one person preventing the advance of another — for example, a hiring manager may not offer an applicant a job because of his or her skin color.
But new research suggests that discrimination can work in just the opposite way. Sometimes discrimination can be the result of helping people like yourself succeed, rather than hindering others.
"We can produce discrimination without having any intent to discriminate or any dislike for those who end up being disadvantaged by our behavior," study author Tony Greenwald said in a news release.
Even if you're not overtly biased against another group of people, showing favoritism toward your friends or those similar to you can have the same net effect.
For instance, a boss might offer an employee a raise or a plum project because both are members of the same gym, or because their kids go to school together. Showing favoritism for people who share something with you — those in your "ingroup," the authors say — is just as discriminatory as not assisting someone because they are different.
The recent University of Washington study reviewed five decades of research on discrimination, finding that discrimination was actually more often the result of giving preferential to treatment to those in one's ingroup than it was of harming or holding hostility toward people outside it. But most researchers have, in the past, defined discrimination as the latter, which is how most of us probably think of it.
The authors added that it's natural to think of discrimination as having to do with hostility toward another person or group — the political and religious conflicts people to go war over are living proof that the "regular" kind of discrimination does exist.
But it's also important to remember that discrimination has this other, more positive, element, which can be just as powerful. Even if you're not overtly biased against another group of people, showing favoritism toward your friends or those similar to you can have the same net effect.
What the study highlights is an element of discrimination that most of us probably never think about. And if we do consider it, we will likely have to acknowledge that we discriminate by playing favorites, too. And, of course, becoming more aware of habits, even subconscious ones, is the first step to changing them.
The study is published in the journal American Psychologist.

I am so excited to share this easy chocolate mousse with you today in time for Valentine's day.
I've been testing the recipe all week. At one point, when I opened my fridge to discover remnants of various batches in everything from ramekins to wine glasses, it dawned on me that I've come pretty darn close to achieving my childhood dream of being a chocolate taster (after a sharp detour through a nutrition degree ).
And I'm also excited to share with you the newest addition to the Vitamix family, the Ascent series.
As you know if you've been hanging out here for any length of time, I've been a gushing Vitamix fan for years. The first one I owned changed my world. I've never had such creamy, beautiful pureed soups and sauces. I own two sizes and use them constantly to make homemade grain and nut flours with barley, oats, wheat, rye and quinoa, almonds and hazelnuts; homemade nut butters like almond and pistachio; homemade nut milks and coconut milk without a need to soak in advance. Pâté like a boss. Boozy snow cones like it's my job. These high-performance blenders are seriously a dream.
The model you see in the video is the new Ascent 3300. It is gorgeous with its digital touch screen and clear top. Love the new, programmable timer and container detection features. And it's easier to clean than any other model I've had. I'm so happy one has found its home on my counter. And I have one for you, too! I've just launched a giveaway on Instagram – head on over to enter.
In this recipe, instead of the laborious separating of eggs, making custard, whipping egg whites, whipping cream, gently folding, etc. typically required with traditional mousse (not to mention the back-of-mind concern about raw egg), we make a quick base by heating milk and eggs until thick and then the brawny blender does the work. It blends and melts the chocolate into the custard, then whips the mixture and the cream until the mousse is light and airy. You pour into cups and chill for a couple of hours and you're done!
Note: I typically just put "serve with whipped cream" in the recipe, but if you need a loose recipe, I do about 1 cup whipping cream, 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or about 1/4 tsp of almond extract – delicious with mousse.
The post and giveaway were generously sponsored by Vitamix, but the enthusiasm and love I have for the brand is 100% all mine.
A super-easy recipe for rich chocolate mousse - without any raw eggs - made in the blender.
Heat milk and butter in a saucepan until small bubbles appear at the edge. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in medium bowl. Very slowly stream about half of the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly, then slowly stream the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk. (This prevents the eggs from curdling.) Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 165ºF, about 2 minutes.
Carefully transfer this custard base to the blender. Add the chopped chocolate and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds. Add the cream and blend for another 30 seconds. Then add the sugar, vanilla and salt and blend again for 30 seconds.
Pour the mousse into serving glasses and chill for about 2 hours, until set. Serve with whipped cream.

South Carolina defeated Alabama, 50-22, to take home the 2014 SCRC conference championship in Columbia, SC, Sunday. With the win, the Gamecocks earned the right to take on in-state rival Clemson at the ACRC Bowl Series next weekend.
USC got on the board first thanks to a try from the forwards' man-of-the-match, Zach Mullineanux. Alabama responded with two unanswered to take a 12-7 lead. South Carolina retook the lead with a converted try, but Alabama battled back to take a 15-14 lead with a penalty. The Gamecocks, however, finished the half strong adding another penalty and a late try to take a 24-15 halftime advantage.
"The first part of the game was pretty tight," said South Carolina coach Mark Morris. "Their forwards continued to play well, and their backs continued to tackle well." South Carolina tried to disrupt the breakdown and poach the ball, but Alabama held up well. "It got to the point that it was better just to man up make the tackle and get back up on our feet rather than trying to poach," Morris Added. The Gamecocks stopped contesting the rucks as fiercely, waiting for the Crimson Tide to make a mistake or an isolated player to attack.
In the second half, South Carolina scored the first three tries in a row to open up a 43-15 lead. "We continued to move the ball down wide and kick for space and finally got a bunch of breaks that worked out well," Morris said. Alabama got on the board again with a try, but Michael Rudzinsky sealed the victory with a late try to give South Carolina the win.
South Carolina went in with a game plan of focused on establishing territory in the first half, hoping to wear down the Crimson Tide. In the second half, the Gamecocks upped the tempo and began spreading the ball wide. With 20 minutes of overtime rugby in Saturday's semifinal win over Tennessee and a limited bench, Alabama struggled to keep up with a high-paced South Carolina squad. "We played a real fast tempo, we knew they would be tired and sore from the heck of a game they had yesterday with Tennessee," Morris said.
Alabama will take on Western Michigan in the ACRC Bowl Series.


An ultra marathon (ultra distance) or extra-long hike may require a decrease in track detail to ensure sufficient battery life, while a normal activity may benefit from greater detail. UltraTrac is a GPS mode that by default decreases the update rate of GPS data to once a minute to provide up to 50 hours of use in ideal conditions.
All ANT+ sensors will be disabled and stop recording while the device is in UltraTrac mode. However, at times ANT+ sensor data may be recorded while the devices records a GPS track point.
This is as yet untested on the fenix3, but may work.
Adjusting the settings on your watch will provide you with a good balance between battery life and track detail.
*Setting the update rate to 15 seconds will provide approximately 20 hours of tracking, while setting the update rate to 20 seconds should provide greater than 24 hours of tracking time. Results will vary based on tracking conditions (heavy tree cover and other things like terrain and buildings can decrease the battery life faster).

Toxiferin (eigentlich: C-Toxiferin I – das "C" steht für "Calebasse") ist ein Alkaloid und gehört zu den Curare-Pfeilgiften. Chemisch zählt die Substanz zu den Bisindol-Derivaten.

Geschichte und Gewinnung
Der Name Toxiferin wurde dem Stoff 1938 durch die deutschen Chemiker  Wieland und Pistor gegeben, die ihn aus Strychnos toxifera gewannen. Die beiden beschrieben auch eine sehr exakte Nachweismethode für das Alkaloid. Durch Eindampfen wässriger Auszüge von Bestandteilen (meist Rinde und Stängel) der Strychnos-Arten S. castalnei, S. crevauxii und S. toxifera gewinnen die Indianer Perus und Brasiliens das Pfeilgift, dessen Hauptbestandteil das Toxiferin ist.

Eigenschaften und Verwendung
Toxiferin ist eines der am stärksten wirksamen Gifte auf pflanzlicher Basis. Es wirkt als Nikotin-Antagonist an der muskulären Endplatte, in dem es die Rezeptoren für Acetylcholin, die nikotinischen Acetylcholinrezeptoren, blockiert, und stellt daher ein nicht-depolarisierendes Muskelrelaxans dar. Dies bedeutet, dass bereits geringe Mengen der Substanz die Muskeln lähmen. In höherer Dosierung ist Toxiferin aufgrund der Lähmung der Atemmuskulatur tödlich.

Das Allyl-Derivat des Toxiferins Alcuronium wird als Arzneistoff eingesetzt.

Terol: 'Ending season with win was extra bonus'
He had trodden two of the steps on the podium at his home circuit in the Comunidad Valenciana, a circuit where turn four bears his name, and he even celebrated the 125 World Championship there in 2011.
However, the top step had eluded Nico Terol up until the final round of the 2013 Moto2™ World Championship, when the Mapfre Aspar rider put together a perfect race to take the victory in front of an adoring home crowd. His third win of the season, which was also his fourth podium in total, capped off a year of learning; a season of highs and lows that Terol is now hoping can provide the foundations to a much more consistent 2014. Typical of his approach to racing, though, he will be taking things one weekend at a time.
Did you imagine you could end the season with a win in Valencia?
I knew I had a chance because I love the Ricardo Tormo circuit and it has always been good to me. I had the podium from last year still fresh in my mind and I was convinced I could do it again, although I wasn't sure if I could win because in Moto2™ it's really tough. My pace was good in practice but I needed a little extra, which we found on Saturday afternoon and then on Sunday morning in warm-up, when the set-up became clear. I went fastest in that session and knew I had a chance of winning the race.
You have scored podiums there, won a title there, even have a corner named after you there but never won a race at the Ricardo Tormo circuit. Was it a case of unfinished business for you?
Partly, yes. All of those prior successes had been incredible in their own way but I wanted to win. To be crowned World Champion at the Ricardo Tormo circuit was amazing for me. That was a race I thought I could have won but my tyres dropped off and I had to ride conservatively and think about the championship. I wouldn't change anything about that 125 title win in 2011 but I always wondered what it might be like to win in my home race and finally I got that chance. It was an incredible feeling.
What is it like to win at the Ricardo Tormo circuit?
Crossing that line and seeing all your team on the pit wall is something special, and I was extra lucky this year because the grandstands were packed. As soon as I got to turn one on the cool down lap I started waving to them and then in Doohan corner I was able to light the 'traca', run over to the stands and show my appreciation to the fans for their support. The circuit felt like it was shaking, it was wonderful. I enjoyed myself like a little kid; to end the season with a win is an extra bonus in terms of getting ready for next season.
You ended up missing out on the lap record at Valencia by just two-thousandths of a second to your team-mate Jordi Torres. It seems you have a fantastic relationship with him even though you are rivals.
I have a great relationship with Jordi both on and off the track. As soon as we put our leathers on we both know it is time to be serious and to work hard but other than that we are always joking around and having fun. We have a close relationship and I know I can talk to him about anything, although mainly we talk about bikes! The fact we are both fast is helping us a lot, we have a healthy rivalry that is pushing us both on and making sure we constantly improve. Obviously on the track the first person you have to look after is yourself but if we can help each other out we always do. On a personal level I would say I am more shy and Jordi is more outgoing but we complement each other well. We both know how tough it has been to get where we are and that is why we both work so hard. The fact we are both straightforward guys means we can get along just fine.
If Pol hadn't crashed do you think you would have had to ride differently?
I don't think so. I could see from behind that Espargaró was riding a little over the limit and I was pulling back a tenth or two in certain sections. I reckoned that the way he was attacking the race would eventually take its toll on his tyres, and tyre wear had been a problem all weekend for the Kalex riders. So my plan was always to stay calm and to keep pushing all race, which is exactly what I continued to do once he crashed.
Three wins, a second place and your first pole position in Moto2™... how do you rate the season?
I would say my second season in Moto2™ has been positive, not just because of the podiums but because of what we have learnt. We finished the championship in seventh place with four podiums, three of them wins, but we need to be more consistent in future. After Espargaró I was the joint second winningest rider alongside Redding and Rabat, and my team-mate Jordi and I were the only Suter riders to win at all. That suggests we have a lot of potential and the team have been doing a great job. Now we need to make the most of the experience we have gathered and make sure we don't make the same mistakes again. Learning how to better control the bike when the set-up is not perfect is something I learnt a lot about this season.
How can you win three races and then have such contrasting results in others?
I crashed at Le Mans because my visor completely steamed up and I hit a patch of water. At Montmeló we struggled to find the right set-up and got lost. As soon as that happens in Moto2™ you can quickly lose ground. The retirement at Sachsenring was a shame because we were running in ninth place when the bike broke down. I scored points at Indianapolis but that was a race I was expecting much more from - I was going well but became dehydrated and had to drop my pace just to make it to the end of the race. And in Malaysia I crashed. I don't tend to crash a lot but you have to ride so on the limit in this category that sometimes you have to take more risks than you really should. The 2013 season taught us that we need to be more consistent.
Which was your favourite win of the year?
It's hard to pick just one. The first one in Austin was special because it was my first win in Moto2™ and it was the first ever edition of the GP of the Americas. In such a strong category a win does wonders for your self-belief. Aragón was nice because I dominated the whole weekend, in the way I used to in 125, but I have to say the win at Ricardo Tormo was the most special. It is where I have a corner named after me, where I won my World Championship and where I love the fans. It was a perfect weekend for me, for my team-mate Jordi who was up there on the podium with me, for the whole team and for the sponsors.
Last year you scored a podium at Valencia that really helped you to build in 2013. Does your win this year mean you are ready to take another step forward now?
Of course that is what I hope. We know that Moto2™ is a very difficult category but we have another year of experience under our belt now, we have improved a lot and our objective next season is to be consistent frontrunners.
Are you ready to be tipped as a title contender?
I don't expect them to tip me as that but I won't mind if they do. Whatever happens over the winter my approach will be the same. I am going to work hard each day as if it were my last, to meet every little challenge I set myself and then we will see where we are at the end of the season. If we start out thinking about the title then we have started out badly. All I am focused on is running at the front in every race, taking each one as it comes without thinking about what might happen at the end.
How has winter testing been so far?
It has been good to get some laps in and to get a different kind of feeling. We have been able to gather a lot of information about the new chassis and we have given the Suter engineers our feedback so that they can work on it. There are things we still need to decide and the new chassis certainly needs to improve in certain areas, such as getting the bike stopped, but we have also done a lot of work with the 2013 version and found some good solutions with that so the signs are encouraging. We can be optimistic about the future.
What are you looking forward to doing this winter?
First of all resting and enjoying some time at home with the family. I guess I will go skiing for a few days with friends over Christmas, which is something I love. Then it will be the same winter programme as usual, spending time in the mountains training hard to get physically ready for preseason.
Define the 2013 season in a few words.
A year of learning in an extremely tough category. I tried to give my best in every race and to enjoy myself on the bike.

Despite large layoffs in the traditional media, the job market for journalism graduates has remained largely unchanged, a newly-released survey finds. The employment rate is holding steady, while salaries are increasing in some cases.
On Oct. 31, 2007, 63.3% of the bachelor's degree recipients had a full-time job, a figure nearly identical to the 2006 report of 64%. Almost all of the 2007 bachelor's degree recipients who looked for work had at least one in-person job interview in the six to eight months after graduation.
The median salary for 2007 bachelor's degree recipients was $30,000 -- exactly the same as the median salary for 2006 grads. Meanwhile, the median salary for 2007 master's degree recipients was $40,000 -- $2,000 higher than a year earlier.
Given the current turmoil of the industry, many analysts consider this good news.
