E15 Could Save Iowa Drivers $69M
Joanna Schroeder December 28, 2012
Based on gasoline sales data released today by the Iowa Department of Revenue, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) said that Iowa motorists could have saved $69 million in 2012 if E15 would have been widely available in Iowa. E15, a blend of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline, is approved for use for vehicles manufactured after 2001 or newer.
"$69 million buys a lot of Christmas presents," said IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw. "With E15, Iowans can spend less while boosting the Iowa economy. That's a pretty good deal. IRFA is working with retailers across the state to make E15 access a reality. Until E15 is widely available, Iowans will continue paying more at the pump than they should."
The potential savings with E15 were calculated using 1,630 million gallons of Iowa gasoline use (extrapolated from Iowa Department of Revenue figures). Roughly 85 percent of the fuel sold goes into vehicles that can legally use E15. Where E15 has been sold, it has averaged 5 cents per gallon lower than E10.

KeepItSafe is an automated remote backup system for workstations and servers. The platform is offered in two distinct flavors—one appropriate for small to midsize businesses, and the other for enterprises with multiple data centers. All KeepItSafe plans are certified to ISO standards.
Both versions offer automated back-ups to an encrypted remote site with two storage locations for redundancy. Additionally, backups are retentive, meaning backup copies of files deleted locally are maintained—no more losing work thanks to accidentally emptying the trash/recycle bin! KeepItSafe Disaster Recover (DR) allows companies to roll back computers to any state backed up before data loss, and can be installed on- and offsite. To promote ease-of-use and to ensure data is backed up correctly, KeepItSafe sends technicians to install all necessary on-premises software.

Q: How do I whitelist everything I need for BootstrapVue to work with Purgecss in Nuxt.js I have created a Nuxt.js project which uses BootstrapVue for the UI. In order to reduce the bundle size I import only the BV components that I need on a per component basis. However, I was still ending up with an excessively large bundle because bootstrap.css and bootstrap-vue.css were being bundled in their entirety. bootstrap.css being the main problem in terms of size.
In an attempt to solve this, I installed nuxt-purgecss in the hope that it would extract all unused css from bootstrap.css, and bootstrap-vue.css, and create versions for the bundle that only includes css for the BootsrapVue classes that I am actually using.
At first, neither file was getting bundled at all, and after some searching, I found that the solution appeared to be whitelisting the BootstrapVue selectors that I'm using. (Although I would love it if someone could show me a way that I didn't need to do that and purgecss could evaluate it on its own!)
The relevant parts of nuxt.config.js are now as follows:
  modules: [
    'nuxt-purgecss'
  ],
  purgeCSS: {
    mode: 'postcss',
    paths: [
      'components/**/*.vue',
      'layouts/**/*.vue',
      'pages/**/*.vue',
      'plugins/**/*.js',
      'node_modules/bootstrap-vue/es/**/**/*.js',
      'node_modules/bootstrap-vue/**/*.js'
    ],
    styleExtensions: ['.css'],
    whitelist: [
      'html',
      'body',
      'navbar',
      'nuxt-progress',
      'b-navbar',
      'b-navbar-toggle',
      'b-navbar-brand',
      'b-navbar-nav',
      'b-nav-item',
      'b-alert',
      'b-collapse',
      'b-nav-item-dropdown',
      'b-dropdown-item',
      'b-container',
      'b-row',
      'b-col',
      'b-card',
      'b-form',
      'b-form-group',
      'b-form-input',
      'b-button',
      'b-modal'
    ],
    whitelistPatterns: [/^b-/, /nav/]
  },
  build: {
    /*
     ** You can extend webpack config here
     */
    extractCSS: true, // TODO: Necessary?
    extend(config, ctx) {
      // if (ctx.isDev) {
      //   config.devtool = ctx.isClient ? 'source-map' : 'inline-source-map'
      // }
      config.devtool = 'source-map'
    }
  }

Having completed the above, I find that my built solution is rendering nearly as expected, but I am having several issues I cannot fathom:
<template>
  <b-navbar
    sticky
    toggleable="md"
    type="dark"
    variant="dark"
  >
    <b-navbar-toggle target="nav_collapse"></b-navbar-toggle>
    <b-navbar-brand to="/">Application</b-navbar-brand>
    <b-collapse id="nav_collapse" is-nav>
      <b-navbar-nav class="ml-auto mr-4">
        <auth-nav-item />
      </b-navbar-nav>
    </b-collapse>
  </b-navbar>
</template>

This renders, but type and variant are not taking effect, i.e. it should be white text on a black background bar but is actually white on white (so effectively invisible to a user.) I can fix this by applying a local style, but I really would like to understand what I need to do to get this to function as intended.
I have a similar situation with a b-alert which has a white background regardless of the the variant attribute.
The other weird one is that <b-col md="5"> is being respected unless there is a b-alert within the col. If there is, it expands left and right further than it should.
I'm guessing that there are some extra things I need to whitelist, but so far, I'm struggling to understand what they are. If anyone can tell me, I'll be eternally grateful!!!
(Also, as I mentioned earlier, if there was a way of configuring this so purgecss automatically knows what is there without having to tell it, that would be even better!)

A: Bootstrap v4.3.x CSS doesn't play well with PurgeCSS (actually purgeCSS doesn't play well with Bootstrap CSS), as many of the classes needed depend on the values of the various props. PurgeCSS makes educated guesses, but it doesn't always make the correct guess.
Your best bet is to not use PurgeCSS, and instead use the Bootstrap SCSS source files, and only include the sections (files) of bootstrap v4.3 SCSS that you are using (it is relatively modular, although it can be a bit confusing).

← Bridgewater Hall Manchester
MEN Arena Manchester →
Posted on May 23, 2012 by Webmaster
The Manchester Museum is situated on Oxford Road in the middle of the University of Manchester's neo-Gothic buildings. The museum is owned by the university and is open to the public as well as serving as an academic research resource. It houses about six million artefacts from every continent on the globe. The Manchester Museum was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the architect of London's Natural History Museum, opened to the public in 1888.
It first housed the collections of the Manchester Society of Natural History and the Manchester Geological Society. In 1912 a 'pavilion' funded in the most part by Jesse Haworth, a local textile merchant, was opened to house archaeological and Egyptological collections. This was followed in 1927 by the opening of an extension to accommodate the ethnographic collections.
More recently in 1997, the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the Manchester Museum a £12.5 million grant and together with help from the University of Manchester, the Wolfson Foundation, the European Regional Development Fund and the Wellcome Trust, the museum was able to refurbish and re-open in 2003.
Without doubt the most impactful exhibit in the Manchester Museum's collection is 'Stan', a reproduction cast of a Tyrannosauros Rex fossil, mounted in a running posture. The cast is based on the second most complete T Rex ever found, excavated by Stan Sacrison in South Dakota in 1992.
The archaeological collections in the Manchester Museum come chiefly from Western Europe, the Mediterranean, Egypt and Western Asia. So great is the Egyptological collection that a whole new wing was added to house it. The displays are stunning and the Egyptian Mummy Research Project, which began in 1973 using radiology and endoscopy, has revealed much new information on health and social conditions in ancient Egypt.
Other highlights include the Manchester Herbarium with upwards of 950,000 specimens, the Numismatic collection with a superb range of Greek and Roman coins, the Simon Archery Collection with 2000 exhibits from all over the world, Entomological collections amounting to nearly three million specimens and Geological collections with more than 9,000 mineralogical specimens and several hundred thousand fossils.

It doesn't look like it's about to get cold any time soon in France.
No need to dig out the winter jackets in France just yet.
At least, that's according to the latest long-term predictions from national weather agency Météo France.
The agency said that there was a fifty percent chance the coming months would be warmer than usual.
Its three-month prognosis added that there was just a 20 percent chance of a cold start to winter.
Indeed, France is right in the middle of a large swathe of European countries that is expected to see a warmer autumn and winter than usual (see image below).
Météo France added that the drought affecting areas around the Mediterranean Sea was likely to continue.
As the map below shows, much of the southern reaches of France has a 50 percent chance of dryer than usual conditions, as will the entire Mediterranean area.
The agency stressed that seasonal forecasts were highly variable, so be sure to take the tips with a pinch of salt. But if you're playing the odds, think twice about any plans to go ice skating on a frozen River Seine in Paris this winter.

Peace Jirga's Delay Not Possible: Daudzai
President Ashraf Ghani's Special Envoy Umer Daudzai on Sunday reacted to former President Hamid Karzai's remarks on the Grand Consultative Jirga for Peace and said delaying the event is not possible as all delegates have arrived in Kabul from across the country to attend the "first ever" big gathering.
Daudzai said the Jirga will provide the ground for peace and that it will not create any hurdle for the process.
The call for a delay in the Jirga came from former President Karzai on Saturday, April 27, two days ahead of the event, but Daudzai said it is too late delay the consultative Jirga.
"It is not possible now, because 3,000 delegates have arrived in Kabul and the government's treasury has been spent. It is not possible to delay the Jirga," Daudzai reiterated.
So far, at least nine presidential candidates, including Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, and their teams have boycotted the Peace Jirga, and some of them have said that it is a "waste of time" and an "election campaign".
Daudzai said that every Jirga has its own opposition but added that they will leave no stone unturned to encourage the critics to attend the Jirga.
"Mr. Abdullah has not made his statement on the Jirga as the chief executive of Afghanistan but he has boycotted the Jirga as a presidential candidate. His (Abdullah's) concerns should be removed. This is not only our (the High Peace Council's) responsibility but it is the ARG's (Presidential Palace) responsibility as well to work in this respect," he added.
Daudzai said that he has no idea why the former president made the recent remarks on the Jirga while "one month ago, he welcomed the convention of a Loya Jirga".
He assured that the Jirga will not create any hurdle for the peace process but it will provide the ground for the process.
"I want to assure you that this Jirga will lay the foundation for peace and it will expedite the peace process and will not create hurdles but it will remove the hurdles from the peace process," he said. "We all should approve the Jirga if we want peace."
He said efforts are underway to convince Mr. Karzai to attend the Jirga.


With two major science groups: the forensic science group and environmental health, Environmental Science and Research (ESR) provides essential applied science for the justice and the health sectors in New Zealand. Dr Fiona Thomson-Carter, General Manager of Environmental Health says accreditation is an essential part of day-to-day delivery.
'The Ministry of Health is a major client for us. Our labs that work with specimens from sick humans are accredited by the methodology body International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) to NZS/ISO 15189:2007, Medical laboratories – Particular requirements for quality and competence.
Fiona says some of ESR's environmental microbiology, whether on shellfish, water, or soil – looking for legionella for example – is accredited by IANZ to NZS ISO/IEC 17025:2005 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
'With IANZ accreditation, we demonstrate New Zealand scientists operate at the same level as their international peers, and we have assurance we provide world class science in New Zealand.
'World Health Organization (WHO) technical experts visit our laboratories every year to make sure we're performing the WHO tests for flu and polio to the required level. They look at our manuals, and they check that we've been audited by the Ministry for Primary Industries for being an accredited containment facility.
'When core government clients contract services with us, they have risk management assurance that we are operating to the highest level of accreditation. This distinguishes us from research or science services provided by someone in a shed in their garden.
'One way that standards have helped our business is that we're proud of the work that we do on behalf of New Zealand. Our staff like coming to work at ESR as it sits well with their values and beliefs and they feel they're doing a good job for New Zealand and New Zealanders. So, they love challenging the standards as IANZ does see some of our laboratories as a flagship for New Zealand.
'Our scientists are always trying to continually improve the quality of the work that we do.
'We are involved in standards development and IANZ work. We lend our staff to IANZ as experts. Some of our staff help IANZ perform assessments on other laboratories across New Zealand.

August 25, 2020 Wine Reviews, Wines under $20
Two Canned Wines That Are Worth a Damn
Canned wine is having a moment right now. Sales are skyrocketing as people (more younger than older) respond to what is undeniably a great value proposition: smaller quantities, portability, chillability, cute packaging, and the ability to open and drink one without a corkscrew or a glass.
Yet even now, canned wine suffers a bit from the same problem as bag-in-a-box wines: few people are putting decent wines into this format. That's rapidly changing though, as many traditional wineries are waking up to the potential of this format. I wrote about the rise of canned wines for Jancis Robinson earlier in the year, describing how companies like Free Flow Wines can barely keep up with the demand from new producers and old, all of whom want to put their wines in aluminum.
I haven't made anything close to a comprehensive tasting survey of wine in cans (as if such a thing were possible given the rate at which new ones are popping up) but I've tried a bunch and found most to be lackluster. The most promising variety seem to be the rosés, whose crisp acidity and affinity for fridge temperatures seem to do best in the canned format.
However I've come across two wines recently that have significantly upped the game when it comes to wine in a can.
The first is a remarkably decent rendition of Pinot Noir from MAKER wines, a wine label that grew out of a year-end Stanford Business School project by Sarah Hoffman and Kendra Kawala. I actually was a guest speaker in their Business of Wine class when these two ladies were finishing their MBAs, and they cornered me after class to excitedly tell me about their idea, which was basically to go out and find good winemakers that would be willing to collaborate on making great small-batch editions of canned wine.
It's been pretty cool to see them go from idea to execution, and while their first efforts were just OK, this latest Pinot Noir is very tasty and definitely worth drinking, as it is a collaboration with Lulu Handley. If that name sounds familiar, it should. Lulu is the daughter of Milla Handley, the Anderson Valley Pinot Noir pioneer that we tragically lost to Covid-19 a few weeks ago. Under Lulu's direction, the wine was made by long-time Handley winemaker Randy Schock, and the collaboration with MAKER has yielded by far the best canned Pinot Noir I have had the pleasure of tasting.
Most Americans have not had the pleasure of drinking sparkling red wine. Sparkling Shiraz is a sort of underground cult wine in Australia, and Lambrusco has long since dropped off of most Americans' radar. But sparkling red wine can be wonderfully refreshing, not to mention a tasty thing to drink with dinner.
William Allen, like many of us men, could only avoid listening to the advice of the woman in his life for so long. His partner, Karen Daenen, has been telling him he ought to try making wine in a can for some time. With a day job running consumer research for Jackson Family Wines, her opinions often carry some weight in the Two Shepherds household.
But Allen wasn't impressed with most canned wines he had tried, and hadn't come across the right batch of fruit in his portfolio to try it. But then two things happened in rapid succession. He made a new rosé from a batch of Yolo County Cinsault he didn't love, and Covid-19 exploded on the world.
"Frankly, I was afraid we were going to go out of business," he says. "So I shut everything down—threw everything into stainless, locked it up tight, and prepared to weather the storm."
But like many small producers who had fully embraced social media and DTC sales, Two Shepherds saw a significant bump in sales as people stocked up for the lockdown and rallied to support the brands they love. All of a sudden, Allen had some breathing room and more than a little time on his hands.
"So I started experimenting to see what could make this rosé better," he says. His winery is next door to a cider maker and brewery, so he put on his mask and wandered over to see what carbonation might do to the texture of the wine. It helped. But not enough.
And then, in a flash of insight, he thought to blend in some of the carbonically macerated Carignan that he had sitting in a tank, and the wine came alive.
"Call it a combination of trial and error, luck, and some good winemaking, but it just sang,' says Allen. The only thing left to do was to figure out what to call it. And since his donkey had just given birth to a new baby girl a few weeks before, he chose little Luna as the namesake for the perfect pandemic wine label if there ever was one: a baby donkey kicking the now-familiar Coronavirus cell model.
Therefore this can of wine can rightfully be described as Kick-Ass Organic Southern-Rhone Party-in-a-Can. It's delicious, and is not only the best sparkling red wine I've ever had from California, it's the best sparkling red I've had that isn't one of the new-wave Lambruscos that are deservedly turning heads among the wine cognoscenti.
You've been warned. Canned wine is now officially a thing, and here are two worth buying by the six pack.
2019 MAKER "Lulu Handley" Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, Mendocino, California
Medium garnet in color, this wine smells of raspberry and cherry fruit. In the mouth, bright raspberry cherry and herb flavors have excellent acidity and a faint tannic backbone, that gives it some nice dimensionality. Brisk and fresh thanks to the low, 13% alcohol. Packaged in six-packs of 250ml cans. Score: around 8.5. Cost: $10. Currently available as part of a mixed six-pack, or individually to members of their Can Club. click to buy
2019 Two Shepherds "Bucking Luna" Sparkling Cinsault, California
Medium garnet in color with mellow, small bubbles that fade quickly, this wine smells of sweet berries and a touch of dried flowers. In the mouth, a very faint mousse delivers crisp flavors of mulberries, cherries, and a touch of dried herbs that all have a wonderful freshness thanks to a very low octane 10.5% alcohol. Excellent acidity plus the bubbles make this a damn refreshing mouthful. Think: the organically-farmed NorCal answer to Lambrusco. Gimme a six-pack of this and a pepperoni pizza and watch out! Contains 25% carbonically macerated Carignan. Packaged in 375ml cans. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $11 per can, $118 per twelve-pack. click to buy

Sony Classical Masters 88697-80945-2 5CDs
Although this set is an import, it is easily available on Amazon at extremely reasonable prices. Part of the bare-bones Classical Masters series, this product line returns a number of hugely important recordings to the active catalog. Admittedly, a few of these boxes are simply cheap reissues of discs still in print, but otherwise the entire series is a joy for veteran collectors. These Mozart collaborations with George Szell have been classics for nearly six decades, while younger music lovers like myself have been denied an easy way to acquire these performances. The disc with Eugene Ormandy is a family affair, with Casadesus' wife and son joining him for the concertos for multiple pianos. Finally, the set is rounded out with a solo sonata and the E Flat Major Wind Quintet.
Casadesus is often referred to by piano enthusiasts as the greatest student of the "French" school of playing. In very basic terms, this means classically poised and direct playing, with none of the Romantic richness of say, Arrau. That said, nothing is dry or overly cool, like Brendel could sometimes be. Poised and direct perfectly describes the orchestral support under George Szell, who was perhaps the finest Mozart conductor (of his type) ever. While you won't find Bruno Walter's warmth, you'll hear arguably more detail and – almost certainly – more crispness. Older collectors will note that the monophonic concertos from this team aren't here, and since this series has had no problem reissuing older recordings, there's no reason for that. Still, what is here is worth hearing.
In an age where Mozart performances are increasingly micromanaged and "historical", listeners will find much to relish in these meticulously balanced and carefully considered versions. True, Casadesus is objective and is less concerned about tonal lushness than some. Slow movements are organically shaped, but not inclined to linger on beauty. This seems to upset some Amazon reviewers, who find the pianist and Szell to be boring, or dry. Szell has been dealing with this critique for over eight decades (he died in 1970) and I imagine he will continue to until long after we die, too. The simple fact remains that few collaborations allow you to hear Mozart so clearly. The Cleveland Orchestra members (also playing under the contractual name of the Columbia Symphony Orchestra) are exceptional.
On the other hand, the disc with Ormandy reminds us that the famous conductor was never really at his best in the Classical repertoire, and everything is rather heavy by today's standards. The whole Casadesus Family plays with distinction, but these are slight works at best. The chamber music and the solo selection seem out of place, especially given my earlier complaint about material that could have easily fleshed out the Szell/Casadesus partnership. That said, the fact that this set retails for less than 20 dollars in most places makes it a treasure for both older listeners and newcomers to these timeless collaborations.

Q: Click event in Fragment for MVVMCROSS I have a fragment class, like this one:
public class TMSAccountFragment : MvxFragment
{
    //some code
}

Button click event:
#region OnClick of account button

ImageView acc_Button = view.FindViewById<ImageView>(Resource.Id.accountbutton_orange);
acc_Button.Click += delegate
{
    OnClick();
};

#endregion

public void OnClick()
{
    FragmentTransaction ft;
    Fragment frag;

    frag = new TMSSlidingTabsFragment();
    ft = FragmentManager.BeginTransaction();
    ft.Replace(Resource.Id.sample_content_fragment, frag);
    ft.AddToBackStack(null);
    ft.Commit();
}

The following error happens in FragmentManager.BeingTransaction();.

cannot implicitly convert type 'android.support.v4.App.FragmentTransaction' to 'Android.App.FragmentTransaction'

A: use getSupportFragmentManager() instead getFragmentManager().you should change your onclick like as below
public void OnClick()
 {
 Fragment frag = null;
 FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
 FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =   fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
 frag = new TMSSlidingTabsFragment();
 fragmentTransaction .Replace(Resource.Id.sample_content_fragment, frag);
 fragmentTransaction .AddToBackStack(null);
 fragmentTransaction .Commit();
 }

A: You need to use SupportFragmentManager instead of the regular FragmentManager.
public void OnClick()
{
    var fragment = new TMSSlidingTabsFragment();
    var transaction = SupportFragmentManager.BeginTransaction();
    transaction.Replace(Resource.Id.sample_content_fragment, frag);
    transaction.AddToBackStack(null);
    transaction.Commit();
}

However, since you're using MVVMCross, I strongly advise you to use the MVVM Pattern. That is, bind this Click event to an IMvxCommand in your VM and use a proper presenter to handle the way your Fragments will be presented (some useful resources to get started can be found here and here)

I am very good because in a few short weeks I will graduate college and be the first in my family to receive a Bachelor's Degree. I never knew it would feel this amazing! I can't keep myself from grinning and everyday it becomes more and more real. I have had a lot of support from my family and from my landlord in the East Bay. Without him, I probably would have had to drop and go back home to Los Angeles. You never know who is gonna come into your life and become a catalyst for success of failure and I am very lucky to have surrounded myself with peers with similar goals and aspirations.
Things I do to stay good are to try new things. Recently I have tried Jiu Jitsu, although it is very expensive and I probably won't be doing it for long, I have very much enjoyed the training. It is always the small things and the big moments that make life enjoyable. I also have a new car and a new girlfriend and everything is perfect right now. Hard work truly pays off and for the first time in my life I feel blessed. Always stay positive and never shy away from criticism and advice. I love to challenge myself physically and I love to read news articles and keep up with current world events. I enjoy the show Futurama and Tosh.O and I enjoy reading. I love to sleep in on Sundays and I love to make trips to visit family and friends in Los Angeles. Every day I take the time to enjoy my meals to their fullest. I never rush a meal and it is in those moments that I find serenity.
I do not have any family members with mental health issues but I have had a close friend who suffered from bulimia. It was very hard to support her and I found myself lost and helpless but at the end of the day the most important thing to do was to simply listen and nod your head and lend your body to lean on. Life is random and you too must be random. I follow strict routines but in those routines I allow myself the flexibility to change to anything that may pop up in life. Sometimes it is necessary to slow down and take a step back and just analyze the situation before jumping in and sometimes you need to jump in and just handle it like a boss. Every situation is different but every situation needs confidence. Anything done with confidence cannot fail and will be less stressful for you.
To end mental health stigma one needs to put themselves in the other's person shoes and throw away thoughts of selfishness, impatience, negligence, and ignorance and try to understand. Don't be a fool, everyone is different and you must understand that not everyone had the opportunities you had in life and not everyone was raised the same and in the same neighborhood. The world is very eclectic; grow up and empathize.

Q: Is it possible to declare return type for closure? I'm learning closure in scala programming language.
For example:
val a = (x:Int, y:Int) => x + y;
a(1, 2)

will give me 3. the closure a works like a function (Int, Int):Int.
Is it possible to declare the return type for closure like this ?
val a = (x:Int, y:Int):Int => x + y;
a(1, 2)

Is it possible ?

A: This syntax is impossible (val a = (x:Int, y:Int):Int => x + y), but you can declare type for a:
val a: (Int, Int) => Int = (x, y) => x + y

Influence of traveling
Photo from Grace Bake
Imogen Weiss, Staff Writer
It was surprisingly sunny for winter as Mairead Simpson ('18) was walking around the Temple Of Heaven in Beijing when a little girl started looking at her with a terrified expression on her face as she started to cry. A group of the girl's friends with equally terrified expressions on their faces began walking towards Simpson, flip phones in hand as they nervously took pictures of Simpson's sun stricken hair. She realized in the sun her hair looked more red than it did brown, which must have startled the girl. From then on, Simpson's perspective on travelling overall changed as she previously thought that most people were used to seeing tourists. "I did not think the way I looked would affect someone that much, especially since I thought China as a whole would be used to having tourists around," Simpson said.
Simpson is not alone. During her junior year abroad in France, Grace Bake ('17) learned more about French culture, whilst living with a host family. "It let me understand that not everyone works or lives the same way that your family may work," she said. During her immersion, the more fluent her French became, the more it made her feel like "less of an outsider." "It definitely makes you feel more connected to those people," Bake said.
Bake recalled the first time she went to a French rowing camp last October as challenging as she lacked the ability to understand simple mannerisms in order to connect with the other rowers. Feeling exhausted, Bake spent three days relying on nods, smiles and the power of listening. "From the beginning I tried to prove myself in other ways…If I did not understand what they were saying, I would show up to practice because I felt showing up was half the battle," Bake said.
When she returned to the camp in April, after months of practice and building trust based friendships, she remembered the sense of pride that filled her when she was able to make a joke in French and have people genuinely laugh because it was funny and not grammatically incorrect. Although the curriculum at ASL provided Bake with the ability to learn a language to the level of complete fluency, Bake observed that "learning anything first hand is more beneficial because it's not just sitting in a classroom," she said.
Similarly, John Nation ('19) remarked that "it's one thing to see something on paper and completely different to see it in real life," he said. During his time living in Syria and Egypt he recalled his fascination with ancient civilizations. "You can see all these ancient civilizations in the classroom but you can't see how that culture has affected the modern day world," he said. Nation remarked one of his most memorable experiences was seeing the Pyramids in Egypt for the first time. Growing up Nation and his sister read about Egyptian archaeology, leaving him in awe seeing the endless blocks of limestone concrete towering above him.
Nation was most likely part of the last generation that was able to see these amazing artifacts first hand as the majority of them have now been destroyed due the political conflicts that have taken place in Egypt and Syria. Nation described the difference in seeing the pyramids size in real life to what he had learnt in the classroom as "sobering." "It doesn't really register in your mind that it's there…When you see just how much effort has gone into all of these things, you realize how amazing it is they've survived," he said.
High School World Languages and Cultures Teacher Whitney Nuchereno believes the ability to travel to foreign places can lead to substantially improving one's academic performance particularly in language. "Not only is your proficiency better and the idiomatic expression you're using, but there's a layer of culture added as well," she said. She recalled being in Spain when they won the World Cup. When she returned back to school, Nuchereno was able to show her students all the first hand photos and videos from the events. "Just sharing authentic resources proves it's really out there. What you see in a textbook doesn't validate it enough," she said.
Regardless of one's motives to travel, the ability to see the world first hand sparks something that the classroom at times just cannot provide, as travelling benefits every aspect of our life, and not just our education. Bake believes travelling is like "connecting the dots," allowing her to see and understand more of the world. "[Travelling] showed me what I could do, the people you can meet and what life really is."

Nonstandard Dex data
====================

Pokémon Showdown's data files and Dex API give access to a lot of nonstandard information, some of which you probably want to filter out before using for your own purposes.

Especially if you want to use the lists in `Dex.moves.all()`, `Dex.items.all()`, `Dex.abilities.all()`, or `Dex.species.all()`, make sure to read this file so you know to filter out the information you don't want!

Filtering out `effect.isNonstandard` will filter out most of what you don't want, but there are a lot of subtleties, so please read on for sure.

CAP
---

Our data includes data on fanmade Pokémon, moves, and abilities from Smogon's Create-A-Pokémon Project.

Examples include:

- pokemon: Astrolotl
- move: Paleo Wave
- ability: Mountaineer

These have `thing.isNonstandard === 'CAP'`.

Things from other games
-----------------------

All of our data for specific games also contains Pokémon, items, etc from every other game. This makes it easy to stage "what-if" battles using mechanics from one game but Pokémon from another game, such as the NatDex format.

Examples include:

- pokemon: Pichu-Spiky-eared (only exists in Gen 4 games)
- item: Berserk Gene (only exists in Gen 2 games)
- move: Hidden Power (only exists in Gen 2-7 games)

These have `thing.isNonstandard === 'Past' || thing.isNonstandard === 'Future' || thing.isNonstandard === 'LGPE'`.

Pokéstar Pokémon
----------------

Gen 5 had a minigame called ["Pokéstar Studios"](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9star_Studios), where you could fight robots and aliens and other non-Pokémon in Pokémon battles. These are treated as Pokémon in the Black 2 and White 2 game data.

Examples include:

- Pokestar Giant
- Pokestar Smeargle (NOT considered the same species as a real Smeargle)

These have `species.isNonstandard === 'Pokestar'`.

Unobtainable things
-------------------

Sometimes, Game Freak adds game data, clearly planning for something to be released later, but then never releases it. They can still be obtained by hacking, or by trading with someone who's hacked their game.

Examples include:

- Floette-Eternal
- Fire Gem (in Gen 6)

These have `thing.isNonstandard === 'Unobtainable'` in the game whose code they appear in. They're marked as `Past` or `Future` as appropriate, in other games.

Unobtainable Hidden Abilities
-----------------------------

In Gen 5, the game data contained a lot of Hidden Abilities, such as Volt Absorb Zapdos, which ended up never getting released, and were later retconned.

Pokémon with never-released Gen 5 Hidden Abilities have `species.unreleasedHidden` set to `true` in Gen 5.

Typed Hidden Powers
-------------------

The data contains information for moves named "Hidden Power Fire", "Hidden Power Ice", etc. These are provided for convenience: when building teams (to set the move to "Hidden Power" and change IVs), when running damage calculations, and when exporting or sending movesets.

These are matched with `move.realMove === "Hidden Power"`. Since no other move has this feature, you can also check `move.realMove` for existence.

Max moves
---------

Max moves cannot be learned normally, and behave weirdly if hacked into a Pokémon's moveset.

They are matched with `move.isMax`. `move.isNonstandard === null` for Max moves.

G-Max moves
-----------

Unlike Max moves, G-Max moves aren't "real" moves, and don't even have an entry in the in-game moves database, meaning they can't be hacked onto Pokémon at all.

They are matched with `move.isNonstandard === 'Gigantamax'`.

Z-moves
-------

Z-moves cannot be learned normally, and behave weirdly if hacked onto a Pokémon's moveset.

Damaging and Pokémon-specific Z moves are matched with `move.isZ`. `move.isNonstandard === null` for Z moves.

Z-status moves
--------------

Unlike regular Z-moves, Z-status moves aren't considered "real" moves, and don't even have an entry in the in-game moves database, meaning they can't be hacked onto Pokémon at all.

They do not appear in `Dex.moves.all()`. Information about them is available in `move.zMove` for the underlying status move.

Damage information on Hidden Power, Return, and Frustration
-----------------------------------------------------------

The sim will sometimes send move names like `Hidden Power Fire 58` or `Frustration 12` or `Return 50`, in generations where these moves have variable base power. This is used to convey information about move power. These are not considered separate moves.

These don't exist in `Dex.moves.all()`, so you do not need to filter them out.

Gigantamax and other "questionable" formes
------------------------------------------

Gigantamax sprites are not considered actual Pokémon formes by the game data. For ease of selection and sprite viewing, we treat them as formes.

Filter them out with `species.forme === 'Gmax'`.

For more information on formes whose status as "real" is controversial, see [data/FORMES.md](./../data/FORMES.md)

"No Ability"
------------

There is an Ability named "-" in Gen 8, and "No Ability" in some older games, which can't be obtained except by hacking. Note that Gastro Acid does not change your ability to this, it simply sets a volatile status that prevents your ability from having an effect.

Pokémon Showdown always calls it "No Ability".

No Ability has `ability.isNonstandard === 'Past'` in Gen 3+. In Gen 1-2, No Ability is considered the only legal ability, and will have `ability.isNonstandard === null`.

Items with no competitive effect
--------------------------------

We do not carry information about all holdable items. Players wishing to hold an item with no competitive effect can simply hold a "Poke Ball".

`Dex.items.all()` only contains information about items that are competitively relevant. Do not rely on this not to have any given item; "competitively relevant" is not an objective metric and may change (especially since Fling does have an effect for most items we currently consider irrelevant).

Q: In Noether's theorem, what is a "classical solution of the equations of motion"? I'm reading a book which states that:

for each generator of a global symmetry transformation, there is a
  current $j^{\mu}_{a}$ which, when evaluated on a classical solution
  of the equations of motion $\phi_{cl}$, is conserved. I.e.
  $\partial_{\mu}j^{\mu}_{a}\vert_{\phi=\phi_{cl}} =0 $

I get the general principle, but I'm uncertain about the bit I have made italics. Can anyone shed some light on this?

A: 1) The word classical in this context means $\hbar=0$.
2) In the context of an action principle, the Euler-Lagrange equations
$$ \frac{\delta S}{\delta\phi^{\alpha}}~\approx~0 $$
are often referred to as the (classical) equations of motion (eom), cf. comment by Jia Yiyang. Here the $\approx$ symbol means equality modulo eom.
Let on-shell (off-shell) refer to whether eom are satisfied (not necessarily satisfied), respectively.
3) In the context of a global continuous (off-shell) symmetry of an action, Noether's (first) theorem implies an off-shell Noether identity
$$d_{\mu} J^{\mu} ~\equiv~ - \frac{\delta S}{\delta\phi^{\alpha}} Y_0^{\alpha},$$
where $J^{\mu}$ is the full Noether current, and $Y_0^{\alpha}$ is a (vertical) symmetry generator.
This leads to an on-shell conservation law
$$d_{\mu} J^{\mu}~\approx~0.$$

A: The classical equation of motion can be find solving the Euler-Lagrange equation for the Lagrangian of the system $L=L(q,\dot{q})$, then EL equation states $$\frac{\partial L}{\partial q_i}-\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t}\frac{\partial L}{\partial\dot{q}_i},\text{  }i=1,\dots,n.$$
The conserved current $j_a^\mu$ come from the fact that if a system has a symmetry then something linked with the symmetry is kept by the system. If a system show a time symmetry then the Energy must be conserved, if a system show a traslational symmetry then linear momentum must be conserved and if a system has a rotational symmetry then angolar momentum must be conserved.

Poxviral Disease in Red Squirrels Sciurus vulgaris in the UK: Spatial and Temporal Trends of an Emerging Threat
Lookup NU author(s): Professor Stephen Rushton, Dr Peter Lurz
The squirrel poxvirus (SQPV) is the probable mediator of apparent competition between the introduced invading gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) and the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) in the UK, and modeling studies have shown that this viral disease has had a significant impact on the decline of the red squirrel in the UK. However, given our limited understanding of the epidemiology of the disease, and more generally the effects of invasive species on parasite ecology, there is a need to investigate the transmission dynamics and the relative pathogenicity of the virus between species. We aimed to increase our knowledge of these processes through an empirical study in which we: (i) used pathological signs and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to diagnose SQPV disease in red squirrels found dead during scanning surveillance between 1993 and 2005; (ii) detected antibody to SQPV using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the same animals; and (iii) mapped cases of the disease, and the gray squirrel distribution, using a geographical information system. We analyzed the distribution of cases of SQPV disease according to woodland type, a measure of squirrel density. SQPV disease occurred only in areas of England also inhabited by seropositive gray squirrels, and as the geographical range of gray squirrels expanded, SQPV disease occurred in these new gray squirrel habitats, supporting a role for the gray squirrel as a reservoir host of the virus. There was a delay between the establishment of invading gray squirrels and cases of the disease in red squirrels which implies gray squirrels must reach a threshold number or density before the virus is transmitted to red squirrels. The spatial and temporal trend in SQPV disease outbreaks suggested that SQPV disease will have a significant effect on Scottish populations of red squirrels within 25 years. The even spread of cases of disease across months suggested a direct rather than vector-borne transmission route is more likely. Eight juvenile and sub-adult free-living red squirrels apparently survived exposure to SQPV by mounting an immune response, the first evidence of immunity to SQPV in free-living red squirrels, which possibly suggests a changing host-parasite relationship and that the use of a vaccine may be an effective management tool to protect remnant red squirrel populations.

PAXLUMINA – November 2021 Issue
This issue of Pax Lumina focuses on the world of the differently-abled. When this topic was mentioned, there were some eye-brows raised, politically correct ones for sure. The world of the differently-abled, according to those eyebrows, conjures up an image of a different, separate world for some of us who are less fortunate than those "abled" inhabiting the rest of the society.
Declaration on International Migrants Day - English PDF
Declaration on International Migrants Day - Hindi PDF
The Society of Jesus was founded by Saint Ignatius Loyola and his companions in 1540. With a global membership of more than 16,000 members, the Society operates through six Conferences spread across over 110 countries. Jesuits live and work in about 80 Provinces and Regions across the world. The Jesuit Conference of South Asia (JCSA), which has 22 Provinces, is one of the Conferences. It has its presence in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan.
The JCSA has over 400 schools (urban and rural), about 60 higher education institutions (including the prestigious XLRIs, Loyola College and St. Xavier's College). It has a network of over 100 social work centres. It also has research centres (Indian Social Institute—Delhi and Bengaluru), initiatives such as the inter-religious dialogue, empowering the marginalised through livelihood promotion, skilling the youth, supporting refugees and the displaced, helpline for migrants, etc.
The Jesuits in South Asia are aligned with the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) of the Society of Jesus, and as a Conference it has the following preferences:
a) Ensuring Quality Education;b) Promoting Ecology and Justice; c) Accompanying Youth; d) Fostering Peace and Reconciliation; and e) Promoting Renewal and Spirituality of Seeing God in All Things.

Ignatian wisdom towards caring for creation
Jesuits are motivated by a deep, personal love of Jesus Christ and a "desire to imitate in some manner our Creator and Lord Jesus Christ … since he is the way which leads to life" (St Ignatius of Loyola). We seek to be "contemplatives in action" combining the service of faith with the promotion of justice, following the example of our founder, St Ignatius, who strove to "find God in all things." We consider ourselves to be sent on mission with Jesus as companions consecrated for service under the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
Jesuits are best known in the fields of education (schools, colleges, universities, seminaries, theological faculties), intellectual research, and spiritual renewal. In South Asia ,Jesuits run schools, universities and parishes and engage in missionary work, social justice, inter-religious dialogue, and other 'frontier' ministries. Most importantly, we continue the tradition of providing retreats based on The Spiritual Exercises, the foundational work of St Ignatius.
The Universal Apostolic Preferences
There are four working fields to which the Society of Jesus will pay special attention and in which it will invest a significant portion of its various resources over the next few years.

Food, Drug and Device Law Alert - FDA Issues Draft Guidance on Convening Panels to Review Food Safety
November 21, 2017 | Atlanta | Chicago | Columbus | Dallas | Delaware | Elkhart | Fort Wayne | Grand Rapids | Indianapolis | Los Angeles | Minneapolis | New York | South Bend
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued a draft guidance titled "Best Practices for Convening GRAS Panels: Guidance for Industry." All comments on the draft guidance, which addresses evaluation of food ingredients generally recognized as safe (GRAS), must be submitted by Jan. 16, 2018.
A GRAS panel is "a panel of qualified experts who independently evaluate whether the available scientific data, information, and methods establish that a substance is safe under the conditions of its intended use in human food or animal food as part of an evaluation of whether adding that substance to food is lawful under the GRAS provision of the FD&C Act." If a substance is determined to be GRAS, it may be used as an ingredient in food without undergoing the FDA's otherwise mandatory premarket review.
The draft guidance includes several specific recommendations related to the use of GRAS panels. On the topic of selecting GRAS panel members, things the FDA recommends, among other things:
The organizer of the GRAS panel, or the attorney, agent, or employees of the organizer or of the proponent of GRAS status, should not be members of a GRAS panel. If such an individual has specialized experience that could be helpful to a GRAS panel, the proponent or organizer could consider whether that individual could act as a scientific advisor to the GRAS panel by providing factual information to the GRAS panel without participating in any of the GRAS panel's deliberations.
The organizer or proponent should consider individuals with expertise that reflects the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the food substance and the scientific questions that arise in relation to the conditions of its intended use. At a minimum, a GRAS panel should include members with expertise in chemistry or biochemistry, toxicology, and exposure assessment.
The organizer or proponent should determine the total number of GRAS panel members, as well as the number of GRAS panel members with the same expertise, based on the substance, the complexity of the scientific issues associated with the conditions of its intended use, and the available data and information about the substance
The guidance also describes and asks for industry comment on FDA recommendations for:
assessing and managing procedural issues related to the organization and deliberations of a GRAS panel
assessing and managing conflicts of interest, and the appearance thereof, of potential GRAS panel members
the information provided to GRAS panel members
documenting the deliberations and conclusions of a GRAS panel
Additional detail on the recommendations from the draft guidance for these topics follows.
Organization and deliberations of a GRAS panel:
The organizer or proponents should prepare a written GRAS panel policy addressing the potential for bias that could occur through procedures associated with the organization and deliberations of a GRAS panel.
The proponent take appropriate steps to avoid influencing the deliberations of the GRAS panel – e.g., by formulating the charge to the panel in neutral, unbiased language; limiting communication with the GRAS panel to the minimum necessary to manage the affairs of the GRAS panel efficiently and effectively; and then awaiting the outcome.
Conflicts of interest, and the appearance thereof, of potential GRAS panel members:
A written GRAS panel policy should assess the potential for conflict of interest and the appearance thereof during the selection and vetting of GRAS panel members.
A written GRAS panel policy should be publicly available and provide for transparency by allowing outside parties to assess the process used to assess and manage conflicts of interest and the appearance thereof in members of the GRAS panel.
A written GRAS panel policy should include a process for identifying competing interests, including conflicts of interest and the appearance thereof, as well as strategies for managing them.
A written GRAS panel policy establish pre-existing criteria for evaluating the significance of conflicts of interest and the appearance thereof.
Information provided to GRAS panel members:
The proponent or organizer should minimize the amount of non-public information provided to a GRAS panel.
An exception to the above recommendation relates to data and information that could raise a question about the safety of the substance under the conditions of its intended use. The data and information that the proponent or organizer provides to a GRAS panel should include a description of all data and information that could raise such a safety question, regardless of whether those data and information are publicly available.
Documenting the deliberations and conclusions of a GRAS panel:
Clear and explicit documentation of: (1) The available data and information that the GRAS panel reviewed; (2) how the GRAS panel handled its deliberations; and (3) the basis for the conclusion of the GRAS panel.
Each member of the GRAS panel should identify the particular data or information that form the basis for his or her opinion on whether the intended use of the substance is safe, both during deliberations and in any written GRAS panel report.
GRAS panel members should avoid filling a gap in the available data and information through theoretical considerations and relevant experience.
The proponent or organizer should establish and implement a mechanism to demonstrate that the deliberations of a GRAS panel and any GRAS panel report broadly reflect the views of the scientific community knowledgeable about the safety of substances directly or indirectly added to food in addition to the individual views of each panel member.
The draft guidance concludes with considerations for when a GRAS notice is submitted to the FDA, and for when one is not submitted, and for payment of honoraria to GRAS panel members.
For more information, please contact the Barnes & Thornburg LLP attorney with whom you work or the chair of the firm's Food, Drug and Device Practice Group, Lynn Tyler at (317) 231-7392 or lynn.tyler@btlaw.com.

Deutsche Bank Loaned Trump Billions: Report
Laura Stampler
In the midst of the New York attorney general's and two different Congressional committees' simultaneous investigations into President Donald Trump's relationship with Deutsche Bank AG, the New York Times reported Monday that Trump received more than $2 billion in loans over the course of two decades.
The Times interviewed 20 Deutsche board members and executives who said that the bank lent to Trump despite of multiple "red flags" waved by other financial institutions as well its own internal investigations between the late 1990s and 2016.
According to the Times, Trump also tried to woo Deutsche bankers with private helicopter rides and promises of free weekend trips to play golf at his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago—which many now refer to as the "winter White House" due to the president's high-frequency, highly scrutinized visits.
But his promises didn't always hold up, according to an anonymous Deutsche executive.
The executive told the Times that Trump tried to rescind a Mar-a-Lago invitation he'd promised a group of the bank's salesmen in 2003, after they'd successfully managed to sell hundreds of millions of dollars of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts bonds in 2003. Although Trump ended up flying the salesmen to Mar-a-Lago, the executive said, his casino ended up defaulting on those very bonds the next year, costing the bank significant amounts of money. While that specific bank division stopped working with Trump, others continued.
Even though a senior investment-banking executive told the Times that he warned management that Trump worked with people who were tied to organized crime and should be avoided, the bank lent him $500 million in 2005, according to the report.
Years later, Deutsche continued lending to Trump even though two former executives told the Times he was found to have inflated his real estate assets by 70%.
Deutsche finally denied Trump a loan he requested in 2016, during his presidential run. The bank reportedly feared that if Trump won and defaulted on the loan, it would have to decide between seizing the assets of a sitting U.S. president and not collecting his debt.
"We remain committed to cooperating with authorized investigations," Deutsche spokesperson Kerrie McHugh told the Times.
The bank is expected to give congressional committees its communications with and internal documents regarding Trump in April.

Біографія
Наталія Борисівна Полях народилася 24 лютого 1945 року в місті Чернівці Української РСР. Закінчивши театрально-художній технікум, обрала професію художника по костюмах.

Створила костюми до багатьох відомих радянських та російських історичних та історико-пригодницьких кінофільмів і телесеріалів. Часто працювала на кіностудії імені Максима Горького. Співпрацювала з такими видатними режисерами, як Лев Куліджанов, Сергій Герасимов, Ілля Гурін, Леонід Нечаєв, Георгій Юнгвальд-Хількевич та іншими.

У 1980 році Наталія Полях працювала асистентом художника по костюмах в серіалі «Карл Маркс. Молоді роки».

У своїй творчій діяльності Наталія Полях неодноразово зверталася до епохи Петра I: наприклад, брала участь у створенні костюмів для кінофільмів «Юність Петра» (1980) і «На початку славних справ» (1980—1981) (обидва — спільно з Г. Шмідт). Для телесеріалу «Росія молода» (1985) створила чоловічі костюми. На міжнародному рівні брала участь у створенні костюмів для міні-серіалу «Петро Великий» (1985—1986), де була асистентом російського художника по костюмах Елли Маклакової. Звернувшись до епохи Катерини II, Наталія Полях створила костюми для історичної картини «Російський бунт» (2000) (Премія «Ніка» за кращу роботу художника по костюмах, 2001).

У своїй творчій діяльності Наталя Полях зверталася і до західноєвропейської історії, створюючи костюми для кінофільмів часів Англії XII століття: «Річард Левине Серце» (1992) (Премія «Ніка» за кращу роботу художника по костюмах, 1993) та «Лицар Кеннет» (1993). Звернувшись до історії Франції XVI століття, створила костюми для російських телесеріалів «Королева Марго» (1996—1997) і «Графиня де Монсоро» (1997), поставлених на основі однойменних романів Александра Дюма-батька.

Наталія Полях також створювала костюми для дитячих кінофільмів-казок, наприклад, «Цвіркун за вогнищем» (2001) і «Дюймовочка» (2007).

Останнім фільмом, для якого Наталя Полях створила костюми, був фільм «Повернення мушкетерів» (2007).

Наталія Борисівна Полях померла 24 листопада 2008 року у віці 63 років.
