Developing a 2-Phase Screening System to Assess the in vitro and in vivo Stability of Engineering Native Seed Storage Proteins
Jaworski, Allison
Seed storage proteins are the nitrogen and sulfur reserves for the germinating embryo and comprise the majority of the protein content of a seed (Shewry et al, 1995; Tandang-Silvas et al, 2010). The 11S globulins are the principal seed storage proteins in members of the legume and mustard families. They are targets for protein engineering studies attempting to alter the physicochemical properties (e.g. emulsification and gelling) and nutritional value, with respect to amino acid content, of their seed protein extracts (Muntz et al, 1998; Tandang-Silvas et al, 2011). The factor that has limited the success of these studies to date is insufficient accumulation of the engineered variants in vivo due to their reduced stability, compared to the native protein. To address this issue, this thesis describes the development of a 2-phase screening system that facilitates protein engineering of native 11S globulins by assessing the ability of stable site-directed variants to accumulate in seeds. Phase I employs E. coli as an expression system to assess the thermodynamic stability of the engineered seed storage proteins in vitro. Methionine-enriched 11S globulins with stability parameters similar to the wild-type protein are then expressed in A. thaliana in phase II, the in vivo component of the screen, to assess the ability of the engineered protein to accumulate in plant seeds. To complement the novel 2-phase screening system, a comprehensive survey of 67-methionine-enriched variants of a model A. thaliana 11S globulin was completed, employing fluorescence-monitored guanidine hydrochloride denaturation to identify regions of the protein that are amenable to the introduction of methionine residues. This survey demonstrates that methionine can be introduced into 11S globulins but single locations cannot be treated as sinks for the introduction of multiple, sequential methionine residues. The use of HotSpot Wizard in conjunction with available structural data is a successful strategy for short-listing residues as targets for substitution to methionine. This thesis developed tools, a 2-phase screen and an information platform identifying regions within the 11S globulin structure that are accepting of methionine introduction, to facilitate subsequent protein engineering studies attempting to alter the physicochemical or nutritional properties of seed proteins.

LITERATURE TO LIFE: WE EAT TOO MANY PAPER PLATES
by Jessica Lee on Nov 28, 2019 • 12:00 pm	No Comments
Thinking beyond ourselves has become a dominant theme in my Canadian Environmental writing course that influences my decisions on a day-to-day basis. It is annie ross' collection of poems from Pots and Other Living Beings(2019) that inspires me to reflect on my consumption of food, clothing, and other materialistic items. I am not insisting to start living a minimalist lifestyle, but to become more mindful about buying another pair of shoes and thinking twice about purchasing another tube of mascara. With the holiday season coming up, almost everyone, including myself, will be in the gift-giving spirit. Before we fumble for our wallets, I want to discuss the significance of annie ross' work in relation to finding alternative gift-giving options that are friendly to the environment and our pockets.
annie ross is a local writer and a professor at Simon Fraser University. Pots and Other Living Beings(2019) is published and produced in Vancouver, British Columbia (- yay local!).
ross combines black and white photographs she took from her trip to the United States with insights about human consumption in her poems. She removes the hierarchal structure of placing all other-than-human beings at a lower importance than humans by removing the capitalization of human names and pronouns. Instead, ross reinstates the personhood of nature and its elements by capitalizing the given names, such as "Beach," "Barnacles," and "Rocks" (lines 3-4, section i, p. 131). At the same time, ross juxtaposes two black and white photographs with each poem to challenge the readers beyond the textual level.
In rock pile dish stack, ross opens the readers' eyes to the disaster that unfolds from excess production of manmade items specifically paper plates and paper (pp. 130-135). ross compares "clay dishes, stacked" to a heavy pile of "flat, wide, River Stones" (lines 1-2, section i, p. 131). ross uses this comparison to situate the readers' perspective of cleaning dishes in connection to the environment represented by the "River Stones" (line 2, section i, p. 131). She continues to observe the "stack of dishes becom[ing] tall, slipper with grease" that is juxtaposed to "dark Ocean swells… [with] glossy Blue Mussels" (lines 14-16, section i, p. 131). The mental images of slippery "grease" and a "dark Ocean" urges the readers to imagine the effects of the grease of our waste to the "dark" and "glossy" shine of pollution in our Oceans. ross challenges the readers to take an item from one's home and think about the pollution from the production and decomposition of the item that infects the environment like a disease.
ross continues to challenge the readers' consumption when she places two images together of wrapped paper plates and crates stacked together while being transported on a railroad track (p. 130).
Like many of the photographs in the collection, ross appears to be extending the idea of excessive consumption of paper plates from the text to a visual representation (line 1, section i, p. 131). The production of paper plates leads to distasteful pollution to the environment and our source of oxygen when it is transported in crates. The train of crates photograph reflects the barren scenery that is predominantly occupied by machines and transportation to support nearby factories. This is similar to Michelle Latimer's (2018) short film, Nuuca. The audience observes and listens to the violence upon Indigenous women and the land as a result of the workers and machines that invade their hometown when the oil industries begin extracting natural materials during the oil boom in North Dakota. The continuous development of factories to fast-fashion consumption continues to harm local families from the sexual assaults in addition to violating and robbing the environment of its natural resources. By displaying the barren, cold, and lifeless scenery in the crates image, ross urges readers to comprehend our unpleasant reality that results from our excessive consumption habits.
The theme of excess is extended to the following section when ross places two photographs of a pile of metal forks and a truck filled with lumber (p. 132).
The pile of forks and lumber represents extra unused items that produced to meet the demands of a consumerist economy. The theme of excess is elaborated when the speaker describes "playing cards, [and] paper plates" being "haphazardly" (lines 1-2, section ii, p. 133). ross criticizes human beings' wasteful habits when the speaker observes that "every new game [of cards] needs a new deck / another pack is opened, used, and thrown away / again. again" (lines 5-7, section ii, p. 133). ross' use of repetition of "again" emphasizes the endless torment humans mindlessly support with every unnecessary purchase of playing cards, paper plates, and extra metal forks that are left unused or discarded after a single use.
ross further emphasizes human negligence when the speaker says, "no one wants to reveal / what is really going on" (lines 10-11, section ii, p. 133). This sloth-like attitude is further reflected when humans neglect to wash our own dishes and reuse items. We develop an unhealthy habit of being lazy and neglect our responsibilities for the waste produced each year. According to the Recycling Council of Ontario, they reported that "approximately 25 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste was sent to disposal across the country, similar to the amount generated in 2014." Imagine if we become more mindful about our consumption, we can reduce our waste and thus lower the size of our landfills to improve, instead of damaging, the quality of life for humans and other-than-human beings.
ross reminds the readers that there is hope for humans to heal the environment and improve our future in section iii. She contrasts the images of manmade items to a bird's feather on dry grass beside a couple of small white flowers (p. 134).
The third section serves as a recapitulation section, similar to a piano Sonata. ross criticizes humans for exploiting Forests to produce paper products when the
Forest turns into paper plates
to save time from washing and drying
for more eating
and more throwing away (lines 3-6, section iii, p. 135).
ross maintains the focus on Forests by only capitalizing the name of "Forests" (line 3, section iii, p. 135). She mentally illustrates the destructive cycle human habits support when the speaker repeats the word "more" (lines 5-6, section iii, p. 135). ross urges the readers to break this cycle of consumption when the speaker says, "paper, plates / the starvation time / all of the world" (lines 22-24, section iii, p. 135). The juxtaposition of "paper, plates" to "the starvation time / all of the world" reflects ross' intentions to inspire readers to think seriously about his or her consumption of single-use items (lines 22-24, section iii, p. 135). ross shows that one's careless decisions slowly contributes to a barren future when all living beings starve and suffer as a result of continuously consuming more materials and food than we need.
ross' collection further emphasizes the necessity for readers to think more responsibly about his or her choices when purchasing single-use items. Her poems aid in starting a variety of discussions about making mindful choices towards our daily consumption of food, items, and modes of transportation. Our responsibility as readers is to act on ross' ideas and implement positive change into the real world. Starting to think mindfully about our choices can seem vague at first. In Part Two of this post, I share gift-giving tips to assist with your shopping sprees for the upcoming Black Friday sales and the holiday season next month.

In a competitive environment, analytics becomes the driving force that facilitates decision making – to leverage the insight for innovative strategies as well as for an effective ROI on investment.


Americans generally believe that higher income households should pay a greater percentage of their incomes in taxes than lower income households. Yet the exact opposite occurs. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) finds the nationwide average effective state and local tax rates by income group are 10.9% for the poorest 20% of individuals and families, 9.4% for the middle 20%, and 5.4% for the top 1%. This means the poorest Americans are paying two times more of their income in taxes than the top 1%.

10% Human
How Your Body's Microbes Hold the Key to Health and Happiness
by Alanna Collen
Hardcover Trade Paperback E-book
You are just 10% human. For every one of the cells that make up the vessel that you call your body, there are nine impostor cells hitching a ride. You are not just flesh and blood, muscle and bone, brain and skin, but also bacteria and fungi. Over your lifetime, you will carry the equivalent weight of five African elephants in microbes. You are not an individual but a colony.
Until recently, we had thought our microbes hardly mattered, but science is revealing a different story, one in which microbes run our bodies and becoming a healthy human is impossible without them.
In this riveting, shocking, and beautifully written book, biologist Alanna Collen draws on the latest scientific research to show how our personal colony of microbes influences our weight, our immune system, our mental health, and even our choice of partner. She argues that so many of our modern diseases—obesity, autism, mental illness, digestive disorders, allergies, autoimmunity afflictions, and even cancer—have their root in our failure to cherish our most fundamental and enduring relationship: that with our personal colony of microbes.
Many of the questions about modern diseases left unanswered by the Human Genome Project are illuminated by this new science. And the good news is that unlike our human cells, we can change our microbes for the better. Collen's book is a revelatory and indispensable guide. It is science writing at its most relevant: life—and your body—will never seem the same again.
There's more to being human than you think.
Have you ever wondered why so many people are overweight? Or why nearly half of youngsters have allergies? Has it ever seemed strange that depression is so common? Or that more and more children are being diagnosed with autism?
Using the latest scientific research, Alanna Collen reveals the link between ill health and the body's community of microbes. Many of the modern illnesses we accept as part of life are instead newly emerging conditions brought on by our failure to cherish the extension of our human cells: our microbes.
In 10% Human, Collen explains how messing with your microbes can affect your metabolism, your mind, and your immune system; why antibiotics, C-sections, and infant formula can cause collateral damage; and how diet can restore a beneficial community of microbes. 10% Human is an alarm call on behalf of our most faithful companions.

In collaboration with the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), the Sytner Group Recruitment Team host a UK wide Business & Enterprise competition for Schools and Colleges. The competition encourages students to get creative by designing, branding and launching their very own vehicle!
This year we received many fantastic entries from schools across the country. These were judged by both the IMI and Sytner, and we were proud to announce the 2018 winners as 'Team Rapido' from Felstead School, Essex.
The team opted for a target market of females aged 20+, and after researching the current market, they designed a vehicle with many key features such as Alexa functionality and an SOS button. Team Rapido then created a logo, strapline and an advertising campaign for the launch of their vehicle.
The winning team were awarded with a fantastic, fun-filled day at Mercedes-Benz World, the famous Brooklands racing circuit in Weybridge.

Test::Warn provides a way to test the warnings output by your Perl program.
The syntax of the tests seems odd to me, but it was clear enough what to do from the examples provided. Test::Warn seems fairly comprehensive since it also coped with warnings emitted by carp/croak.
The best thing about it is that it is fully integrated with Test::More, so you don't have to do any extra fiddling to get this to work beyond installing it.
Just as a side note, and regarding the review I wrote of Test::Pod::Coverage, this is yet another module which fails to install because of failed pod tests. If you are on Cygwin and this fails to install, remove t/pod.t and all will be well.
I used to not test warnings. And they made my test output ugly. With this package those problems are gone. Now I test warnings and have beautifully clean test output.
It does what it says. In a good way.
The sub names could have been more in line with e.g. Test::Exception, but it works.
The interface is a little awkward, but it works well and allows you to test warnings.
Handy module for unit testing code that may throw warnings.

Britain and USA: get out of Chagos!
The U.S. backs the UK's refusal to return the Chagos Islands back to the Chagossians, blocking the complete decolonization of Africa. Diego Garcia must be decolonized and demilitarized!
Mauritius demonstration prohibited
LALIT reports on their banned protest of U.S. military base on Diego Garcia, and our statement of solidarity.
Sovereignty for Chagos
Against occupation by UK and U.S. imperialism, a resolution calls for an International Court of Justice opinion recognizing Mauritian sovereignty over Chagos.
LALIT confronts colonization of Diego Garcia
A member of LALIT in Mauritius speaks of their Action Conference on the situation of Diego García Island, which Britain has refused to give back to the original inhabitants after more than 50 years of struggle, and which it rents to the U.S. for a military base.
Free Diego Garcia! Chagos for the Chagossians!
Port Louis, Mauritius–The Oct. 30-Nov. 2 LALIT International Conference to "Free Diego" was timed so right and politically so spot on that it seems to have been a catalyst. An instant effect was that during our conference, the prime minister announced Nov. 3 would be "Chagos Day" and commemorated every year. Also during the conference, [=>]

Solidarity with the people of the Chagos Islands! Read the Declaration of Grande Riviere after LALIT Diego Garcia Conference
The declaration begins this way:
"The Conference on Diego Garcia & Chagos held at Grande Riviere, Port Louis, Mauritius, bringing together 150 participants from 30 October to 2 November 2010, reached consensus that we will keep the following struggles [=>]


Capturing data: ACD systems that provide massive amounts of data must be manually typed into spreadsheets, inevitably resulting in typing errors and wasting the valuable time of call center supervisors who could be training agents, analyzing trends, optimizing schedules, and performing other productive tasks.
Overstaffing and understaffing: The spreadsheet approach to forecasting and scheduling often leads to overstaffing and understaffing, which results in lower service levels and an increase in payroll costs. Customer satisfaction suffers when customers have to wait for long periods to get their issues resolved.
Schedule adherence: Tracking schedule adherence using spreadsheets gives managers headaches. It also needlessly wastes time and money whereas automated WFM solutions make it easy for agents to precisely follow their schedules. Shrinkage can become a huge problem for any size call center. For instance, in a call center of fifty agents, occupancy is critical. If five agents take breaks or go to lunch at the same time, occupancy decreases by ten percent and service levels go with it. An automated solution prevents this from happening by carefully optimizing agent schedules and forecasts, and sending alerts by out-of-adherence. A manager using a manual system may be tempted to hire additional agents, while the manager with an automated system has the data at his fingertips to accurately optimize future agent schedules to dramatically reduce shrinkage.
Spotting trends: It is difficult to spot long-term trends over weeks and months with a manual system. This data is priceless for accurately forecasting and scheduling agents in the future, special events and other seasonal patterns.
Agent retention: One of the many reasons agents leave is because staffing in a spreadsheet system seems random and fixed, while not considering their personal needs. Agent morale decreases and turnover increases when agents do not understand schedules and what's expected of them.
A spreadsheet based process might work for a few small contact centers, but it is clearly costly and wasteful in terms of time, money, and productivity for many others. Call center managers typically cannot wait to get their hands on a better solution to manage their workforce. The savvy ones are eager to present senior management with an automated workforce management solution to enhance efficiency, increase performance, and realize a high ROI. We will talk about ROI drivers in our next blog post, please stay tuned. In the meantime, you can also download a few workforce management whitepapers from our call center resources library to learn more.

Statement: The Status Quo Is Broken. We Need a Foreign Policy for the 21st Century
Last Updated on March 28, 2022.
WASHINGTON — Win Without War Executive Director Sara Haghdoosti released the following statement regarding the introduction of Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Barbara Lee's Foreign Policy for the 21st Century Resolution:
"Our foreign policy is broken. For the past twenty years, we have waged multiple catastrophic wars, poured near-limitless resources into the bloated coffers of the Pentagon, sold billions of dollars in weaponry to repressive human rights abusers, and suffocated entire countries through broad-based sanctions. What has this done for everyday people, here or abroad?
"While the status quo has served the interests of the weapons industry well, it has directly undermined the safety of people across the nation, and world. Pandemics, climate crisis, mass inequality, nuclear arms races, attacks on democracy — these are the grave security threats of our time, and not one can be addressed through weapons and war.
"It's time for a new approach to foreign policy. The Foreign Policy for the 21st Century Resolution, introduced by Reps. Jayapal and Lee, sets out exactly the vision we need.
"The Foreign Policy for the 21st Century Resolution calls for the United States to make foreign policy work for everyday people by reining in presidential war power, righting our broken budget priorities, limiting arms sales to human rights abusers, ending the use of deadly broad-based sanctions, transforming the rules of the global economy to put working people and the planet first, confronting the threat of climate crisis through a globally just transition, and more.
"This bill is not the end of the conversation on progressive foreign policy, but the beginning of it. We are proud to endorse this bold step toward a world of justice, equality, and security for all."

Q: How to solve my Fibonaci recursive method in Ruby def fibs_rec(n)

  return 1 if n == 1 || n == 0

  puts fibs_rec(n-1) + fibs_rec(n-2)

end

fibs_rec(5)

It's giving me the error
"undefined method '+' for nil:Nilclass"

I dont know what that means. How is it being turned to nil.

A: When you do recursion, the recursive function (or method in Ruby's term) must return a value. Ruby's puts method, on the other hand, returns nil.
You must move the puts method out of the recursion so that the fibs_rec method always returns a value.

A: Make the method actually return the generated number:
def fibs_rec(n)
  return 1 if n == 1 || n == 0
  (fibs_rec(n-1) + fibs_rec(n-2)).tap do |result|
    puts result
  end
end

.tap lets you yield an object to a block and always return the object itself.

ISIS Targets Christian Town, Killing Scores of People, Including Children – Amanda Casanova
©Thinkstockphotos.com
Islamic State soldiers have reportedly killed "scores" of people, including women and children, in Qaryatayn, a town that was once predominantly Christian.
Syrian troops recaptured the city over the weekend, but found that ISIS had killed many civilians.
"These are people who don't know God, they don't know anything. They killed children and women with knives, they beat women, broke their arms," a town resident said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
It's unclear how many were killed. The Associated Press said 67 were killed, while Homs province Governor Tala Barazi told Reuters that "more than 60 were dead" and more than 100 are missing. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said some 128 people were killed.
Abdullah AbdulKarim, a former resident of the city, said the latest slaughter was revenge killing. His own uncle and two of his cousins were shot.
"They came into town with a hit list," he said, adding that soldiers went door to door for weeks looking for people.
According to International Christian Concern, Qaryatayn was a predominantly Christian town until about 2015 when ISIS first captured the city.
The town has been recaptured and taken back between Syrian and ISIS forces many times. The town was finally recaptured again by ISIS earlier this month.

Nepali pastor leaves prison after 2 years for killing a cow
We will no longer sit and watch as cows are slaughtered in our sacred land': Shrinevasacharya. John Hill / Creative Commons
A Nepali pastor sentenced to 12 years in prison for slaughtering a cow has been released early after a court declared him not guilty on 17 July.
Reverand Chhedar Lhomi Bhote, 37, served only two years of his sentence.
Bhote was arrested in October 2012 after a Hindu mob attacked and burned down his home in north eastern Nepal, close to the border with Tibet, where he and his wife were ministering to Tibetans . The mob accused him of eating beef, which is taboo in Nepal but not illegal for non-Hindus, and of killing a cow. Intentionally slaughtering a cow, sacred to Nepal's majority Hindus, is punishable by up to 12 years in prison though the law is rarely enforced.
Pastor Chhedar Bhote LhomiVoice of the Martyrs
Hindu society is very sensitive as to how other faiths regard their sacred animal and some Hindu groups have recently said that Christians have been encouraging new converts to show disrespect to Hindu symbols, such as the cow; this is causing anger and accusations of forced conversion in Nepali society.
Figures show that Christianity is one of the fastest growing faiths in a country where more than 75 per cent of the population are Hindu.
A Hindu protest group called Vedic Sanatan Hindu Rastha Nepal recently brought cow slaughter to prominence by carrying out a month-long hunger strike.
It was led by Hindu holy man Yuva Sant Shri Shrinevasacharya who said: 'Hindus, Hindu gurus, and other organisations should unite to fight against the growing number of crimes against our identity and culture.
'We will no longer sit aside and watch as cows are slaughtered in this sacred land of our ancestors".
Hindu groups are linking cow slaughter to faith conversion – both are issues that many Hindus find unacceptable in the Hindu-majority country.
According to Operation World, Nepal's Christian population is 2.85 per cent, yet it is the rapid growth of Christianity – when contrasted with the declining numbers of Hindus – that is causing a major concern for Hindu leaders.
Nepali churches are showing substantial growth.World Watch Monitor
Between the two most recent censuses the Christian population has more than doubled. In 2001 it was 180,000 but by the 2011 census 375,699 identified as Christian.
Missionaries and Christian NGOs are repeatedly accused of promising money and education to lure poor non-Christians into the faith.
Kamal Thapa, the leader of the Hindu nationalist Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal (RPP-Nepal), has been vocal about the issue. He recently said that 'US dollars are being poured into the country to lure an innocent Hindu population to convert to Christianity'. According to Nepali law, while an individual has the right to change their religion and practice the religion they wish, there is a prohibition against attempting to convert people. However the line is blurred.
Yuva Sant Shri Shrinevasacharya insists that Christians, funded by aid agencies, are 'helping to destroy the legacy of Hinduism in Nepal'.
Accusations of Christian proselytism by have intensified at a time when Nepali Hindus are seeing their country become more secular, which they fear will 'dilute' the Hindu population. They are also growing more confident in asserting their authority over Christianity because of the success of Hindu nationalism in neighbouring India, which saw a Hindu led government elected at the elections in May 2014.
Since that election, Nepal's prime minister, Sushil Koirala has been pressured to heed the country's Hindu cultural integrity by Narendra Modi, India's newly elected prime minister who recent visited.
Shri Shrinevasacharya added: 'So far our protest has been peaceful, but if cow killing and conversion continues we will have to use other means.'
Christian leaders claim that the state has not fully accepted its secular identity and continues to favor Hinduism. They also recount that Christians continue to face persecution in society. In December 2013 a church building and the homes of four Christian converts were set on fire. In April this year Christians and other religious minorities were being asked to 'reconsider their faith' ahead of a new scheme requiring all Nepali citizens to register for an identity card.

Q: Changing function return address on the stack to another function and returning back to main after I am relatively new to c, and I've been messing around with the virtual memory of a process to learn some basic concepts. I followed a tutorial from Holberton school.
(reference: https://blog.holbertonschool.com/hack-virtual-memory-stack-registers-assembly-code/)
Based on the last part of this blog, I wrote a c program that changes the return address of a function in the stack to an address of my own function named 'bye' and then exits the program.
However, I want to go above and beyond so that 'bye' will return back to main where the original function (func1) was called instead of exiting.
I seem to able to do this, but the stack pointers (rsp and rbp) strangely get offset by 8 bytes in comparison to what they would have been if func1 just returned to main.
Why is this happening? And how do I fix this?
Here is the source code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void bye(void) __attribute__((noinline));
void func1(void) __attribute__((noinline));
void func2(void);
void * ret_jump; /*a pointer to a label so that the label can be global*/

void bye(){
    register long rsp asm("rsp");
    register long rbp asm("rbp");
    printf("bye, rsp: %lx\n", rsp);
    printf("bye, rbp : %lx\n", rbp);

    printf("[*] You have been tricked!!\n");
    /*goto instead of return to not mess with the stack*/
    goto *ret_jump;
}

/*Original function that should return to main but returns to bye*/
void func1(void){

    register long rsp asm("rsp");
    register long rbp asm("rbp");

    printf("func1, rsp: %lx\n", rsp);
    printf("func1, rbp : %lx\n", rbp);

    int a;
    int b;
    int c;

    a = 64;
    b = 32;
    c = a * b;
    printf("a = %d, b = %d, c = %d\n", a, b, c);
    printf("Value of 'a' using rbp: %d\n", *((int*)((char*)rbp - 0xc)));
    printf("Value of 'b' using rbp: %d\n", *((int*)((char*)rbp - 0x8)));
    printf("Value of 'c' using rbp: %d\n", *((int*)((char*)rbp - 0x4)));
    printf("Previous value of rbp: %lx\n", *(unsigned long int*)rbp);
    printf("Return address of func1 = %lx\n", *((unsigned long int*)((char*)rbp + 0x8)));
    /*Change the return address of func1 (in main) to the address of the bye function*/
    printf("func1, rsp: %lx\n", rsp);
    printf("func1, rbp : %lx\n", rbp);
    *((unsigned long int*)(((char*)rbp) + 0x8)) = (unsigned long int)bye;
    printf("Previous value of rbp: %lx\n", *(unsigned long int*)rbp);
    printf("Return address of func1 = %lx\n", *((unsigned long int*)((char*)rbp + 0x8)));
    printf("func1, rsp: %lx\n", rsp);
    printf("func1, rbp : %lx\n", rbp);
    /*The stack pointers change after this return call.*/
    return;
}

/*This function shows how the stack pointers are offset by 8 bytes from what they would have been if func1 returned to main*/
void func2(void){
    register long rsp asm("rsp");
    register long rbp asm("rbp");

    printf("func2 , rsp: %lx\n", rsp);
    printf("func2, rbp : %lx\n", rbp);

    int a;
    int b;
    int c;

    printf("a = %d, b = %d, c = %d\n", a, b, c);
    printf("rsp: %lx\n", rsp);
    printf("rbp : %lx\n", rbp);
}

int main(void){
    ret_jump = &&ret_jmp;
    register long rsp asm ("rsp");
    register long rbp asm ("rbp");

    printf("main, rbp = %lx\n", rbp);
    printf("main, rsp = %lx\n", rsp);

    func1();
    ret_jmp:
    printf("func1, rsp: %lx\n", rsp);
    printf("func1, rbp : %lx\n", rbp);
    func2();

Home IAPMO News IAPMO's Hansen to Co-Chair High-Performance Building Congressional Caucus Coalition
IAPMO's Hansen to Co-Chair High-Performance Building Congressional Caucus Coalition
Dain Hansen, director of government relations for the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO®), has been named co-chair of the High-Performance Building Congressional Caucus Coalition (HPBCCC).
The HPBCCC (http://hpbccc.org) is a private-sector coalition comprised of approximately 200 organizations that provides guidance and support to the High-Performance Buildings Caucus of the U.S. Congress. It was formed to increase awareness of, and inform policymakers about, the major impact buildings have on health, safety and welfare, and the opportunities to design, construct and operate high-performance buildings that reflect concern for these impacts.
The HPBCCC works with members of the Congressional Caucus, as well as other interested members of Congress, to promote and showcase best practices in building design and focus on issues reflecting all aspects of high-performance buildings, including accessibility, aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, functionality, historic preservation, productivity, safety and security, and sustainability.
Hansen and Doug Read, director of government affairs for ASHRAE, will share in the leadership of the HPBCCC and assist in the development of a more formal infrastructure that will allow the coalition to thrive.
"As the chair of the HPBCCC over the last six years it has become evident that sharing and rotation of the HPBCCC leadership provides greater acceptance of the complex issues confronting both policymakers and industry groups in moving toward more high-performing buildings," Read said. "With that said, IAPMO, through Dain's leadership, can help build a stronger and more strategic path forward in the development of sound policy for the broader building community."
Hansen said IAPMO is proud to bring its considerable industry expertise to the coalition. "Being a longtime supporter and member of the HPBCCC, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to co-chair this highly recognized coalition with ASHRAE," Hansen said. "IAPMO has a strong and valued voice in the industry; and therefore working closely with Congress and other stakeholders on issues facing the building community is a benefit for the entire industry."
Prior to joining IAPMO, Hansen was a lobbyist at the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Before that, he worked on Capitol Hill as a senior policy adviser for several members of Congress. His experience and expertise have focused primarily on energy and water policy and federal appropriations.
Founded in Los Angeles in 1926, IAPMO has grown to be recognized the world over for its Uniform Codes. With offices in 12 U.S. states and 15 countries, IAPMO has assisted with code development all over the world, and provisions from its Uniform Plumbing Code® protect more than half the world's population.

As a language learner or teacher
you may have heard of Common European Framework of Reference
or CEFR, but what is it
and why does it matter for English language learners?
It's actually pretty simple.
Different learners have different levels of language ability
but opinions about your English level can be subjective.
Your friends may think your English is good but an employer might think it
is not good enough
and you may be better at some skills than others, for example you may be able
to read better than you can speak.
We need a clear objective way to describe language skills that
everyone can agree on.
This is what the CEFR provides.
The CEFR breaks down language learning
into six levels which it calls A1 to C2.
The starting point A1 describes a very basic language level.
As a learner you can move up the levels until you reach Proficiency, C2 level.
This is a really advanced level.
By describing what you can do in reading
writing, speaking and listening the CEFR will tell you where you are on the
journey from beginner A1 through to Proficiency C2.
There are many Cambridge English exams available for different ages and stages
of learning
all matched to CEFR levels from young learners
through to university and the workplace or simply for travel.
The CEFR was developed by the Council of Europe
with extensive support from University of Cambridge ESOL examinations.
People from all over the world use the CEFR to explain what level
of English they are at
and what level of English they need.
It is used by learners, teachers, universities,
governments and employers.
The CEFR has been very influential
and not only in Europe.
It's been published in more than 35 languages
and descriptions of individual languages have also been developed.
Cambridge is a partner in the English Profile program
which provides very useful descriptions of English grammar and vocabulary
at each level of the CEFR.
Understanding your language level will help you to
achieve your goal
whether it's going on holiday abroad, studying at school or university
or getting a job and that's why the CEFR levels
are useful for everyone.

Join Erin Bishop & Sage Rader for an evening of breathwork & electric violin as we celebrate World Breathing Day on Thursday, April 11th at Mantra Fit in Severna Park. A compilation of electronic beats, conscious breathwork and a community gathering to promote body, mind and heart awareness through the hidden power of breath.
We all breathe, and we all breathe the same air; yet rarely do we stop to acknowledge how fundamentally important our breath is, or how it connects us to our planet and to each other beyond our differences. An international day dedicated to breath will help reconnect us to this reality, and by doing so, will enhance, inspire and promote peace, health and well-being worldwide, for humanity and the Earth.
This event will offer a Healing Breathwork Circle led by Facilitator Erin Bishop with live music by Electric Violinist Sage Rader.
A healing breath circle is a personal journey of healing, recovery and illumination. Experiencing the collective energy of others, we intimately observe the breath, work our constructs in compassion, fears into love and anxieties into peaceful awareness.

Zoya Akhtar directs with flair and passion and, aided by explosive performances from a right-on cast, triumphs over the familiarity of the star-is-born storyline.
The wait for a film that tenderly recreates a musical subculture like gully rap instead of co-opting it, might still be slightly longer, but the wait for a perfect rap soundtrack is over.
The brilliant Zoya Akhtar, who, after directing the wonderful Luck By Chance, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Dil Dhadakne Do, again demonstrates a knack for depicting the facets of love, life and ambition with her energetic and purposeful new picture.
Gully Boy is a rhythmic blast with Singh soaring to superlative highs as an actor.
But even with all the catchy music, and the presence of real-life Mumbai rappers in the film like Kaam Bhari and MC Altaf lending it credibility, the slickness of the Bollywood production dulls the rough edges of this story of struggle.
Dreams and reality fuse seamlessly in Gully Boy, Zoya Akhtar's most heartfelt and accomplished movie yet.
Here is an actor at his peak and Akhtar's film is proof of that.
The knockout punch comes from MC Sher. With a name that means both big cat and couplet, Sher is played by Siddhant Chaturvedi with natural, easy ferocity.
Zoya Akhtar's film features some splendid performances and is an instant classic.
By the end, I was wiping tears and cheering furiously not just for Murad but for each one of these characters to find happiness.
There are no featured reviews for Gully Boy at this time.


America's champion steeplechaser in 1942 and 1946, Elkridge won 31 races in his career and retired in 1951 at the age of 13 as the all-time leader in steeplechase earnings with $230,680.
Bred by Joseph F. Flanagan at the Country Life Farm of Adolph Pons in Belair, Md., Elkridge was named for the Elkridge-Hartford Hunt Club. Flanagan sold Elkridge as a weanling to Maj. Thomas Hitchcock, but Hitchcock died in 1941 and his jumpers were sold at auction that autumn. Elkridge raced only once for Hitchcock — winning his career debut Sept. 24, 1941 by seven lengths at Belmont— before his owner died five days later.
At the auction, Kent Miller paid $7,000 for Elkridge and also took over as trainer. In Miller's pink and lavender silks, Elkridge won seven times in 1942 and was America's champion steeplechaser. He earned $28,130 during the year to more than deliver on Miller's initial investment. His wins that year included the Indian River, North American, Gov. Ogle and Manly Memorial steeplechases.
Elkridge was again the American steeplechase champion in 1946. As an 8-year-old that year, he won the celebrated American Grand National under 151 pounds after finishing no better than third in three previous attempts.
In 1948, Elkridge, then a 10-year-old, won the Indian River Handicap at Delaware Park for the third time. The $8,800 he earned for the win allowed him to surpass Greentree Stable's Jolly Roger for the highest career earnings among steeplechasers. Jolly Roger had held the record for 18 years.
Later that summer, Elkridge broke the course record for two miles at Saratoga on consecutive weekends in the Shillelah and North American steeplechases, respectively.
In 1949, Elkridge continued to shine at age 11, winning the Meadow Brook, Georgetown and his fourth Indian River. In the Indian River, shouldering 156 pounds and ridden by Paddy Smithwick, Elkridge won the event in record time in what was his 100th career start.
Elkridge won the Indian River again in 1950 for his fifth victory in the race. He carried 154 pounds and won by nine lengths. He also won his second Saratoga Steeplechase that year for his 31st and final career victory.
In 1951, Elkridge finally slowed down, going winless in 10 races. He finished second in an attempt to win his sixth Indian River and finished third on three other occasions. With a career record of 31-18-15 from 123 starts and earnings of $230,680, Miller decided to retire the old warrior. Throughout his 11-year career, the sure-footed Elkridge fell only one time.
A gelding, Elkridge was retired to a farm in White Post, Va., where he had a habit of jumping over paddock fences. Elkridge died in 1961 at the age of 23.

Order a Poem
Benjamin Aleshire
and death i think is no parenthesis
For the first time, one of my poems was returned to me.
Today in the mail, a big brown package arrives, plastered with stamps. Any package plastered with stamps is a subtle form of aesthetic justice—since in this digital era we live in, at the Post Office a computer will print a soulless bar-code sticker unless you specifically insist on using stamps, and then flip through their book of choices hurriedly while everyone waiting in line silently resents you for wasting 45 seconds of their lives for the sake of beauty. How positively American.
Sitting on my bed and staring at the unopened package, the stamps teleport me back to a sun-spilt day 10 years ago, when I was a teenager falling in and out of love in Denmark, of all places, and I wandered alone into the Copenhagen post office to try to send a postcard. The experience must have taken an entire holy hour. Everyone in the building moved slow as cold honey. I stood gaping at the ornate ceiling flooded with light for a full five minutes before approaching one wrong counter after another, until I was ushered to a wide glass window where the stamps were sold. A wrinkled Dane in an immaculate trenchcoat was carrying on a glorious conversation with the vest-pocket-watched stamp salesman, as they perused acres of exquisitely colored stamps on display. I listened to their velvety Elvish-sounding dialogue, and lost myself imagining their discussion of the tiny intricate steamboats rendered in mauve, the masonry of obscure fortress ramparts, vague historical personages. Time stopped. I was rapt. It took an age. They must have discussed and inspected 35 different stamps before choosing the precise one he needed, and then counting out coins in slow motion. There was no cash register. The salesman tallied everything in pencil and tore off a sheet of paper and handed it through a slot, like a bank teller, and the old man buying them didn't leave before an exchange of elaborate parting sentiments, perhaps wishing good health to various nieces and nephews. When it was my turn, I remember being so delighted that he sweetly and unapologetically spoke no English at all. We conducted the transaction as two mimes. I paid but walked away richer.
I open my eyes and the bedroom surrounds me again, familiar books and furniture. Someone is practicing trombone up the street, and a big brown package plastered with stamps sits waiting patiently in my hands.
Stamps are tiny pieces of art, endowed with an actual purpose. Stamps are a pantheon of fallen heroes, a bestiary of species, an illustrated history of war, a museum of ephemera, an encyclopedia, a reliquary, an observatory. I used to collect them as a child. Most of my collection was given to me by my uncle Kevin, a massive 3-ring binder stuffed to its gills with plastic sheaths containing all that's left of Geronimo, ruby-throated hummingbirds, and Jupiter's lesser moons. Some of them were rare, yellowed 1 and 2 cent stamps, probably quite valuable, and no matter how strange the living conditions of my life became, I could never part with them. So I ferried this collection around with me to various apartments in Burlington, Vermont, where they sat in the darkness beneath a bed constructed from milk crates and a wide piece of used lumber, which I had carried on my back up the hill from an art studio, trudging through the snow like a ludicrous bohemian Passion.
Unable to part with their beauty, I brought the stamps to New Orleans, where for total lack of money, I somewhat painfully decided against my collector's instincts, and used them all to send ecstatic letters from the puppet theatre where I was living in the frigid dressing room all winter, as the trains shuttled back and forth. In the French Quarter that year, someone asked for a poem about envelopes:
But: today in the mail, a big brown package arrives, plastered with stamps. Two Harvey Milks, martyrs of love, grinning in black and white, in taut ties, wool suits. Two bouquets of roses with a Chinese character in gold and a tiny creature—year of the monkey? HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR, they wish me, in all-caps that are both silent and screaming.
One pastoral vista of two wild ponies reflected in water, one of them bending to drink, the other gazing out over a disintegrating world, just as the sun slips below the horizon. There is a beta fish swimming in what would be the sky above the ponies, and a cornsnake coiling harmlessly on the stamp to their right. Then two circular stamps, of moons, which seem to be trying too hard to pull off a European vibe, and failing. This is no par avion, just a brown paper package sold for $2.19 to try to keep the USPS's doors open. More distressing are the $1 stamps, four of them, with what look like a computer-generated image, in red, white, and blue. A patriotic screensaver. A subliminal flag.
Usually, I would try to decipher the tarot of these images (two moons—two months from now? Two bouquets, two ponies, two mirrored martyrs...twins...Gemini?) but the faux-patriot images throw it all off, and I tear the package open and cease breathing.
Inside, it's her dirty linen nightgown lined with lace, swaddling a menagerie of objects: a tattered plastic rose that was once white, a Christmas ornament of a cherubic child bearing a red rose astride a gigantic sparrow with curious plumage, a few feet of copper-colored decorative paper woven into a bird's nest. A glass star with a hole in one of its five elbows—I hold it in my palm and stare until I realize it's all that's left of a wand. Two packages of razor blades, which make my stomach go cold until I find an unopened Exacto-knife in the folds of the nightgown's sleeve. A 3rd edition of Diane di Prima's Revolutionary Letters Etc from City Lights Books. And my poem for her, for Kathleen de Simone, who giddily commissioned me to type a poem about maple syrup when I was setting up at the Burlington Farmers' Market as a poet-for-hire.
When I was a kid, our landlord tapped maple trees and I would stay up all night while the adults drank beer and boiled it down in a ramshackle barrel stove. There were two huge plastic trash cans in the yard that the lines ran to from the trees on the hill, and in the mornings before I got on the school bus I would look around furtively and then cup my palm in and drink. But I didn't want it to be about that, I didn't want a narrative-memory poem. Something else welled up in me and I listened:
There are so many others who knew her better, who are more qualified to tell her story. All I can add is that for me, she was a petite angel wandering around the streets of Burlington in a red beret. Not hobbling, but walking slowly with the help of a stick, or should I say staff. I want to say stave. There were always red roses tied onto the top of it; Kathleen would appear suddenly like a bohemian wizard, like a Greenwich Village Bilbo Baggins. She smelled like potpourri. At least, I had heard that she was from Greenwich Village—she certainly spoke very New York. She didn't like the show, she adored it. The music wasn't good, it was marvelous. Hello, darling! she would say to me when we crossed paths, and I would stoop down and kiss the top of her head.
I first met Kathleen when I joined the Spielpalast Cabaret, a risque Weimar Republic-style burlesque show that performs inside City Hall, of all places. Kathleen created all the costumes, and sat front row-center every night, applauding madly and laughing brassily.
Then I saw her again at the Fool's Gold Art Auction, a brilliantly eccentric fundraising scheme for small artist grants, run by many of the same characters from the Spielpalast. The MC of the show, Maxi, did a hilarious turn as the bawdy art auctioneer, and stripped off a layer of clothing with every piece of art sold, until everything was gone and he stood naked before the audience, his cock dangling in front of their happy faces. Ah, Burlington. The highest bidder of the evening received a coveted prize: an outrageous Dadaist hat, lovingly constructed by Kathleen. It was a matter of immense pride to receive one, and I saw the various hats resting in places of honor in apartments around town.
I wonder if Kathleen knew what little time she had left when she hired me to write that poem. Only six months after coming to see me in the market, she came back to tell me she was dying. There's nothing they can do, yes yes they're quite sure, she said and waved away my alarm, my protests, my sadness. She was quite matter of fact about it, and utterly unafraid. As if life is not a paragraph, and death is no parenthesis, as a poet once said. She looked precisely the same as I'd always known her. I stooped down and hugged her like I always had, and watched her stride away, beaming at everything around her.

A kevert fényű lámpa olyan higanylámpa, amelyhez nem külső szerelvényként kapcsolják az áramkorlátozó előtétet, hanem az előtét izzóspirál formájában a lámpába van beépítve a kisülőcsővel sorosan. Ez a fényforrás így a kisülőlámpa és az izzólámpa keverékének tekinthető, beleértve azok jó és rossz tulajdonságait. Az izzóspirál, mint hőmérsékleti sugárzó, valamelyest javítja a kisülőlámpákra jellemző gyenge színvisszaadást, ugyanakkor lecsökkenti a fényhasznosítást és az élettartamot. Előnye a kényelmesebb használat, hiszen előtét nélkül, E27-es vagy E40-es foglalatba rögzítve közvetlenül alkalmazható.

Bekapcsoláskor a teljesítmény döntő része a spirálra jut, így a lámpa azonnal intenzíven világít. A kisülés stabilizációjának néhány perce után a bevezetett teljesítménynek kb. 50-50%-a jut a spirálra és a kisülőcsőre. A külső búrán a higanylámpához hasonlóan fényporbevonat van.

Over 800 possible 'Australian Protected Objects' are going under the digital hammer
We are honoured to present the estate of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen and Lady Florence Bjelke-Petersen, two of the most influential Queenslanders of
our time.
Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen was the longest-serving Premier of Queensland for 19 years and is considered by many to be the architect of modern Queensland. His sweeping reforms led to Queensland becoming an economic powerhouse. Joh was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1984.
Lady Florence Bjelke-Petersen served as a Queensland Senator for 12 years and was loved by all parties. She was an ardent voice for her Queensland constituents and advocated strongly for local issues.
The Bjelke-Petersen family say it is the end of the era of Joh and Flo's partnership, in which they achieved so much for both Queensland and Australia during both of their political careers.
Find yourself a piece of Australian history
This auction event is extremely rare, and we feel very privileged to support the Bjelke-Petersen family as they have entrusted us to auction over 800 treasured items, each with their own story to tell.
The Bjelke-Petersen Estate auction features Sir Joh's personal desk and his briefcase that he used on a daily basis as Premier of Queensland. Even the 1982 Jaguar Saloon he drove is looking for a new custodian to lovingly restore it.
There is also the opportunity to perfect Lady Flo's famous pumpkin scone recipe which also features in the auction inscribed on a ceramic soup spoon.
Another one of the headline pieces within the auction however is a 1969 hand signed post moon landing world tour luncheon schedule signed by the participants including Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, John Gorton and numerous other dignitaries to commemorate the historic landing of the first humans to land on the moon.
Amongst these incredible items you will also find original oil paintings of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen by Australian Artist and Archibald Prize Winner William Dargie, a Pro Hart original work, autographed campaign posters, historical and nautical items, homewares, clothing, art, maps, music, books and many more pieces of Australian history.
But make sure that history is carefully upheld!
In a last-minute development, we received contact from the Australian Government over the weekend to state that items from the Bjelke-Petersen auction could be Australian Protected Objects.
Aimed towards preserving and keeping important history within Australia, this just goes to prove just how spectacular and important these items truly are.
The items in this auction tell many important stories about Australia's history and in particular, Queensland's growth and how it came to be the state it is today.
We believe the government should be applauded for reaching out to protect its history.
Will you be one of the lucky ones to do so?
The Bjelke-Peterson family recognises the impact that Sir Joh and Lady Flo Bjelke-Petersen had on Queenslanders and Australian's alike and hopes that the treasures offered in this historic collection reinforce their memory in the hearts and minds of the new custodians of these heirlooms for generations to come.
This auction has attracted so much interest from all over the country, and New Zealand, where Sir Joh was born.
You really have this once in a lifetime chance to become a custodian of a cherished piece of Australian history and share a story that will be remembered forever.
If you are lucky enough to acquire items from this collection, we are sure you will honour and treasure them as much as the Bjelke-Petersen family has.

I read this one for the Chicago Young Adult Book Festival and was shocked to find that my college, Lawrence University, was in this book! That was such a great surprise in a great book. Paula Garner deals with questions of identity in such an interesting way, telling the story of a teen girl who learns that she lived in foster care as a child. Her adventure to find these lost years brings up questions of what really makes a family. Plus, there is some impossible romance, which always is fun to read in a way that hurts at the same time.

Jesse Jungkurth and his ace backup band, The Patron Haints, are on tour supporting the release of their first album, "Sideways in Time". Marc Michael of The Pulse described the record as "universally smooth and mellow and if it were for sale on television, the commercial would be shot with a fireplace, dead animal skin rug and glasses of wine in soft focus in the background".
Their booze-soaked, back-porch rock and roll is as infectious as late-night barflies.


Hey all, We are super stoked that "Everything Will Happen" has been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for Best Roots Album (Duo/Group). We are really pleased to be in the company of fine acts like the Deep Dark Woods, Little Miss Higgins, Sweet Alibi, and the Bros Landreth. Thanks to everyone who has supported the album thus far!
Now, back to the UK tour. Our 3 week EU leg just wrapped - it took us all through Germany, as well as dips into Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Austria. It's been a great trip so far, here's hoping for more!

Mines View Park is an overlook park on the northeastern outskirts of Baguio in the Philippines. It is five kilometers away from the Heart of Baguio, passing through the Botanical Garden, the Mansion House, Wright Park, and the Pacdal Circle.

Located on a land promontory 4 km from downtown Baguio, the park overlooks the mining town of Itogon, particularly the abandoned gold and copper mines of the Benguet Corporation, and offers a glimpse of the Amburayan Valley.

The observation deck is situated below a winding stone-covered stairway close to the parking area.

Oklahoma City and Bricktown Curfew Laws
United States Oklahoma Oklahoma City
All Oklahoma City
By Adam Knapp
bjmartin55 / Getty Images
Bad things can happen at night. That's the message of the Oklahoma City Municipal Code as it aims "to protect the health, safety, and welfare of juveniles and other persons and their property." Therefore, the city established a curfew for all people under the age of 18. Note, though, that the Bricktown entertainment district has different curfew rules. Here are details on the Oklahoma City curfew law, as well as information on Bricktown's policy, penalties for violation, and important exceptions.
Curfew Times
Minors are not allowed to be in public places within the city limits after midnight on weekdays or 1 a.m. on weekends. The curfew period expires at 6 a.m.
In August of 2006, however, Bricktown business owners, citing a number of violent incidents involving teenagers the previous two years, petitioned the city council to establish an earlier curfew in the district. The city council unanimously approved the request, establishing an 11 p.m. curfew in Bricktown.
According to OKC police, the majority of kids found in violation of the curfew ordinance are not initially cited but rather warned. That said, it is within a police officer's power to issue a citation or even make an arrest for a curfew violation.
A citation for a curfew violation is considered a Class "a" offense in Oklahoma City and could carry a penalty of community service or a fine of up to $500.
Oklahoma City and Bricktown curfew rules do not apply to the following:
Minors who are working
Minors going to a late movie in Bricktown (Ticket stub needed for verification)
Minors attending a late Bricktown sporting event (Ticket stub needed for verification)
Minors accompanied by a parent or responsible adult
Minors involved in an emergency such as a fire or car accident
Note also that if the minor is running an errand for a parent, guardian or another responsible adult, as long as there is no detour along the way, the minor won't be issued a curfew violation citation. This also applies to transportation to and from official functions such as a school or church event.
Oh, and if you're just passing through Oklahoma City on your way to another state, you're absolutely fine. No need to worry about the curfew.
Many might not be aware that curfew laws don't only apply to the minors. According to Oklahoma City code, a parent or other adult responsible for the minor can also be in violation of the law if he/she "knowingly" allow the child to remain in a public place past the curfew time. Even owners of businesses and employees can be cited unless they report that the juvenile refused to leave after hours.
