"Nothing says romance like choking on a ...."
Posted by Caitlin Roper 5198sc on December 03, 2018
This is why we need legislation against Wicked Campers.
Ad Standards has upheld complaints against a Wicked Camper van emblazoned with the slogan "Nothing says romance like choking on a d*ck because you're choosing his penis over air. Now that's love."
According to Mumbrella, complainants argued the vans were "highly inappropriate for children", "damaging for under age children" and "vulgar".
One complaint said: "They keep showing a disregard and just change the slogans to something else vulgar or offensive. When will people and children's rights be protected from marketing material put out by this company. They do it with intention. That is proven."
The Panel upheld complaints on the basis that the advertisement contained an explicit sexual reference and did not treat the issue of sex, sexuality and nudity with sensitivity to the relevant broad audience and was therefore in breach of Section 2.4 of the code.
This slogan, however, is not merely referencing a sex act- it is trivialising an act of sexual violence against women.
To date, Ad Standards has upheld more than 80 complaints against Wicked Campers, yet Wicked Campers refuses to comply with rulings.
Tasmania, ACT and Queensland have passed laws to deregister Wicked Camper vans if they do not abide by Ad Standards rulings. Collective Shout has called on Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia to do the same.
MPs in South Australia will gather on the steps of Parliament house on Wednesday, 5th December at 9.30 am to speak about the need to take action against Wicked Campers. We encourage our South Australian supporters to attend.
Sign the petition - together we can end Wicked Campers' mobile misogyny once and for all

CIRI announces Science Advisory Council
The Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI), the independent, not-for-profit, educational, science and research organisation which covers the worldwide professional cleaning, facilities and building maintenance, janitorial supply and disaster restoration industries, says its newly updated Science Advisory Council consists of a virtual who's who of leading scientists and researchers serving the industries. The SAC comprises:
* Steven M. Spivak, Ph.D is the SAC chair. Dr Spivak has served in this role since 2008. He succeeded Dr Michael Berry who conceived and founded the council. Dr Spivak has served the cleaning and restoration industries for more than three decades. He is an Emeritus Professor with the Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland where he served more than 30 years as teacher-educator, researcher, student advisor and mentor. Simultaneously, he served as consultant and technical advisor to the Restoration Industry Association (RIA and its predecessor, ASCR International). This encompassed all matters of science and technology for textiles and materials science, including evaluating products and processes for professional cleaning, cleaning science and health; publishing a monthly column in RIA's award-winning Cleaning & Restoration magazine; and other projects and papers arising from cleaning and periodic maintenance of interior finish materials.
* Eugene C. Cole, Dr.PH is director of research for LRC Indoor Testing & Research, Cary, NC; and formerly Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at Brigham Young University, Provo, UT. Dr Cole's research focuses on the ecology of indoor environments, with special emphasis on identification and reduction of pollutant reservoirs and sources, bioaerosols, human exposure assessment and control, product evaluation, cleaning and restoration, mold and sewage remediation, and biocides. He has been a contributor to multiple editions of the IICRC S500 Water Damage Restoration Standard and the IICRC S520 Mold Remediation Standard. He holds both a Master of Science degree in Public Health Microbiology, and a Doctor of Public Health degree in Biohazard Science & Occupational Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

CIRI began in 2005 as an idea shared by several visionary pioneers. CIRI is the only independent and impartial institute focused on cleaning and building maintenance research. Its purpose is to improve cleaning and restoration outcomes and indoor environmental quality for all indoor environments. Today CIRI is a 501.c.3 nonprofit scientific, educational and research institute recognised for its groundbreaking cleaning science and research programs. As such, CIRI serves the dual purpose of serving both the 'public good' as well as the cleaning and restoration industries.
CIRI does not compete with existing trade organisations or associations. Rather, it serves a unique, complementary role and seeks to work with leading industry groups such as ACI, AHE, APPA, BSCAI, CRI, IAQA, IEHA, IICRC, ISSA, NADCA and RIA. Individual memberships in CIRI are open to scientists/researchers and trainers/instructors, and partner memberships are available to trade associations.

Thought I would tone down all that craaaazy colour (Classic British sarcasm) with a little bit of monochrome action. Editing the shots I have also now realised I match the walls, but black and white never dies! This skirt is super comfortable and has a sweet lace like texture and pattern to it! It was a fantastic impulse buy in the Topshop sales, I tend to get extremely lucky when it comes to shopping sales! These shoes are also my absolute favouite booties that I purchased last winter (once again in the sales surprise, surprise ;-) ). It was one of those fateful moments where something you adore is left only in your size and fits so perfectly like a complete Cinderella moment (vom). I saw them one day, loved them, left them, came back a few days later and nabbed them before I felt a horrible wave of regret! And so the moral is, if the shoe fits, go and damn buy it!

Calls for New Metro Station to be named 'St Paul's Cathedral'
September 5, 2016 September 5, 2016 by St Paul's Cathedral Melbourne
At its last meeting, the governing body of St Paul's Cathedral, the Cathedral Chapter, made a formal submission for the new CBD South MetroRail Station to be called St Paul's Cathedral. Dean of Melbourne, Dr Andreas Loewe, personally delivered the submission to Transport Minister, the Hon. Jacinta Allan MP.
The Cathedral is classified as 'of international significance' in the National Trust's register of places and is acknowledged as 'the dominant building on the Flinders Street skyline between Swanston and Russell Streets' (Melbourne Planning Scheme). St Paul's is the principal landmark in the direct vicinity of the new station. Three or more of the station exits will face the Cathedral.
Dr Loewe explained: 'St Paul's Cathedral is one of the most visited historic buildings in our state. More than 400,000 people visit us every year and we are a key landmark for visitors and tourists. We believe it makes sense to call the station after the most visible building in the precinct. Naming the station "St Paul's Cathedral" would enable visitors to Melbourne to find the new station by looking out for our soaring spires'.
Melbourne MetroRail describes the new station as improving 'access to Federation Square, Southbank, the Arts Centre, St Paul's Cathedral and Swanston Street shopping'. As a destination station, used by commuters as well as visitors and tourists, St Paul's believes that it is important that a clear sense of place is provided to the destination, by naming the station after the most significant landmark in the precinct.
Dean Andreas Loewe said: 'London has its "St Paul's" tube station, Sydney has its "St James" metro station. Both honour significant landmarks that are also important places of faith. Calling the new station "St Paul's Cathedral" will celebrate a much loved, iconic symbol of faith and community for the people of Melbourne'.
HELP NAME OUR NEW STATION
In order to make a suggestion that the new station be called 'St Paul's Cathedral' after the principal landmark in the station precinct, write to:
The Registrar of Geographic Names, Mr John E. Tulloch, Land Victoria, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, GPO Box 527, Melbourne, VIC 3001
Mr Jeroen Weimar, Acting CEO, Public Transport Victoria, PO Box 4724, Melbourne, VIC 3001
Please also send us a copy of your letter or email!

Ray Anthony Villafane (born March 5, 1969) is an American artist based in Arizona, who specializes in sculpting. Most famously known for his 3-D Style pumpkin carvings, Villafane also sculpts action figures and collectibles, sand and snow.
2 Collectibles and Actions Figures
3 Pumpkins
4 Sandsculpture
Villafane was born in Queens, New York, and was raised on Long Island. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City in 1991.[1] From 1993 to 2006 he was an art teacher in Bellaire, Michigan for kindergarten through twelfth grade students. Villafane started sculpting part-time in clay and wax in 2004 as a freelance sculptor in addition to teaching. His overnight success allowed for him to resign from teaching in 2006 to pursue a full-time sculpting career. Some newly acquired techniques took Villafane's hobby of pumpkin sculpting to a whole new level and also expanded his career to other mediums such as sand, snow and other fruits and vegetables.
Collectibles and Actions Figures[edit]
Villafane's first "practice" sculpture actually became his first professional sculpture. In 2004, he sculpted a Logan version of the Marvel character Wolverine. The sculptor Randy Bowen of Bowen Designs contacted Villafane and offered to produce his statue. Between 2004 and 2005, Ray went on to sculpt several other statues for Bowen Designs including other Marvel characters such as Sabretooth, Magneto, and The Punisher. He continued to pick up new clients such as McFarlane Toys and Sideshow Collectibles before signing exclusively with DC Comics.
DC Comics toy division DC Direct, inked a two-year contract with Villafane in 2006. He renewed his contract in 2008 for another two years, sculpting action figures and collectible statues. Villafane presently continues to freelance working alongside other clients such as Hasbro and Blizzard Entertainment.
Pumpkins[edit]
In 2007 Villafane was contacted by High Noon Entertainment and asked to participate in the Food Network's Challenge Show for a segment called "Outrageous Pumpkins". He competed against three other professional pumpkin sculptors and won all three rounds to receive the grand prize.[2] The Food Network contacted Villafane again in 2009 to come back to the show and defend his title. He was also the grand prize winner for the "Outrageous Pumpkin Challenge II". In 2011, he carved the world's biggest pumpkin to resemble zombies.[3] He also provided pumpkins for Heidi Klum's annual Halloween party in Sin City in 2011.
Sandsculpture[edit]
After seeing Villafane's performance on Food Network carving pumpkins, a Florida-based sandsculpting company, Sultans of Sand, contacted Villafane to see if he had ever tried his hand at sandsculpting. His first attempt yielded positive results[citation needed] and led to further invitations to sandsculpt around the world. Villafane has taken part in sandsculpting events in the seaside resort town of Jesolo, Italy, twice — in the summer of 2009 creating the show's main masterpiece, Dante's Inferno, and in 2010 creating a Nativity scene. He was commissioned by St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia, to sculpt alongside other sandsculptors from around the world. He also competed in the World Championship of Sandsculpting in Federal Way, Washington, in September 2010, taking first place in the double's category alongside John Gowdy.
In 2010, CBS News with Katie Couric sent their segment producer Steve Hartman to record one of his "Assignment America" segments on Villafane's pumpkins, where he refers to Villafane as "the best pumpkin carver in the world".[citation needed] In addition to the Food Network Challenge shows, Villafane also participated in the Food Network mini-series Halloween Wars that aired in October 2011. Villafane was also a guest on The Martha Stewart Show in 2011 to teach Martha the 3-D pumpkin carving style, and where she referred to him as "the Michelangelo of pumpkin carving."[4]
Readers Digest featured Ray's pumpkins on their website in 2010 and the Today Show website featured his pumpkins in 2010 and 2011. In 2011, one could find photos of Villafane and/or his pumpkin(s) in People magazine,[5] Star,[6] and Men's Health.[7] He was also featured in the Wall Street Journal, the front page of the Las Vegas Sun and over in the UK in such publications as The Sun and The Telegraph. In 2010, his pumpkin photographs were featured in Rosebud Magazine.[citation needed]

Hole punched card sleeves and keyring for modular spellbooks pages?
I think it would be cool if we had hole punched card sleeves to put on a keyring. Then our spellbooks would be MUCH more modular. You could just take "pages" out of your spellbook and stick them on another keyring to make another spellbook. Unfortunately the closest thing to hole punched card sleeves that would actually work for this that I know of are ID card protectors which are way too expensive to buy in bulk.
I mean maybe I could hole punch the corners of a card sleeve, stick a string through them, then hope a card still fits in the sleeve? I'm not sure how doable this would be, and if I get it wrong I might ruins some sleeves.
Does anybody have any advice on how I can do this if at all?
Re: Hole punched card sleeves and keyring for modular spellbooks pages?
You want to have a hole in every cardsleeve (and card?!) to fiddle them all on a keyring instead of carrying a spelbook? Or do you want a ring binder for sleeves (directly without a sheet of 4 or 9 pockets to hold sleeves)?
So a Spellbook would be the size of a staple of cards?
Or do you want that staple to have only 1 hole in the corner so you could put a nail through it and have this effect as colerpicker charts for painters (if you know what I mean)? That would be very unhandy to play with.
You can get hard plastic sleeves. Maybe these are what you want.
Hole in the sleeve not the card. Has the advantage of being able to remove individual sleeves and stick them into another keyring more easily than taking cards in and out of binder pages.
If no one has developed it, there is a reason behind it.
Just drop using spellbooks if you feel they are to much of a hassle, and go with deck boxes instead.


The Godfather of Survivor is back!
Literally, for certain. On the premiere of Survivor: Redemption Island we got our first glimpse of Boston Rob and Russell living out their testosterone fueled challenge to each other at the end of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.
Far more importantly, The Robfather was figuratively back this week with a chilling performance at tribal council confirming that he's earned his nickname. Unlike Russell, who's sticking to playbook which has lead him to two final tribal councils, Rob has learned to adapt his game and assert his dominance in multiple ways.
At tribal council, Phillip spilled the beans on Kristina and Francesca's plan to get Rob out of the game using Kristina's immunity idol and Kristina eventually fesses up to having the idol. Sensing vulnerability, Rob brazenly pounced and made Kristina an offer she couldn't refuse: give Rob the idol and stay or keep it and she'll be gone in no more than six days.
Even if Kristina didn't give him the idol (and, smartly, she didn't) simply asking the question was a power play move for Rob that was far more effective than making an alliance or winning a challenge. By challenging the person holding the hidden immunity idol, Rob demonstrated that he was not afraid of the idol. By effectively winning that challenge, Rob showed to the tribe that he was in charge regardless of the circumstances.
Of course, Rob is fully in charge of only his own tribe. On the other side is Russell who is in charge of his tribe. Russell's ascension may not have been as dramatic as Boston Rob's, but it was equally effective. Despite the tribe's best intentions and efforts.
For starters, Russell's tribe, Zapatera, was struggling to win the immunity challenge until Russell took over building the puzzle and avoided a New York Yankees in 2004 like collapse. Mike even corrected one of his tribemates during the challenge that he was listening to Russell, not him. Uh oh.
Beyond that power play of necessity, Russell was able to get his claws in to Stephanie, the cute young female that is step 1 of "How to get Russell to the final tribal council" playbook. His tribe knew Russell would try to do that and couldn't prevent it. Their biggest problem was that Stephanie thinks she can go toe to toe with Russell and win and is thus a willing partner.
Personally, I'm excited to have Boston Rob and Russell back. In my past reviews, I've made no secret of the fact that I love both players, particularly Boston Rob. However, I'm sure there will be people who attack the decision by the Survivor producers to bring back Boston Rob and Russell as simply a gimmick movie and/or a ratings grab.
First off all, Survivor (and all television shows) does not exist without ratings. If bringing Boston Rob and Russell back ensure the success of a show in its eleventh year of production, that's fine with me.
Second off, both Boston Rob and Russell are incredibly entertaining personalities and very exciting players. Isn't that what we want from our survivors? Isn't that why last season, well, stunk? If their presence adds two more exciting personalities to a hopefully entertaining cast, the more the merrier.
That brings me to the only disappointment of this episode: who's on the outside already. Kristina may still be around and still have an immunity idol, but she's got her work cut out for her to stay. That's disappointing because she's already proven to be an exciting player. She found the hidden immunity idol on her own and only Russell's accomplished that so far. One could argue Kristina's feat was even more impressive.
Kristina's problem was that she was too eager to go after Boston Rob right away. She couldn't see that getting Rob out of the game was less important than getting herself further. As Francesca pointed out, voting out Rob only gives them three more days. They'd both be voted out after that.
The point is that the pair, Kristina and Francesca, brought more to the episode than Rob's five alliance members. Granted this is a product of editing, but, quick, can you name two of Rob's alliance members? They were not featured this week because they're not interesting. Francesca and Kristina are interesting, but Francesca is now gone and Kristina is on the outs.
Or are they? I almost forgot about Redemption Island. I won't go in to my thoughts about that now, but wait until we actually see how it all works.
Phillip and his "droopy, fuchsia briefs" have to go. He's annoying to listen too and even worse to look at. Incredible that he survived this week. Who else was thinking mid-way through the episode that he would be the first voted off?
Do people still like the overly dramatic opening of Survivor? For my money they're tremendous.
The differing receptions for Rob and Russell were priceless. I'm sure we'll never get to hear Russell's impressions of how or why he was not as warmly received, but I'd pay a good chunk of money to find out.

Broken Sound Club (BSC) Spa & Fitness Center Named 2013 "Outstanding Fitness Facility of the Year"
Fitness Institute International (FII) Presented Coveted Award to BSC Director of Spa & Fitness Michael Tompkins and BSC Assistant Director of Fitness Doug Rotondi at Annual FII Awards Ceremony
Broken Sound Club (BSC) Spa & Fitness Center was named the 2013 "Outstanding Fitness Facility of the Year" by the Fitness Institute International (FII). According to FII President & Founder Dr. Anthony A. Abbott, EdD, FACSM, FNSCA, the prestigious FII Merit Award was presented for "setting the standard of excellence and professional service through the employment of a highly credentialed and caring staff with a commitment to providing their members with the safest and most effective fitness instruction along with outstanding personalized exercise programming." He added that the BSC Spa & Fitness Center was also recognized for its unique concern for the health screening of members and the availability of professional medical services.
When presenting the award to BSC Director of Spa & Fitness Michael Tompkins and BSC Assistant Director of Fitness Doug Rotondi, Dr. Abbott noted that this is the first time this honor has been given to a country club spa and fitness center since the award's inception in 1996.
"Broken Sound Club has been a unique contribution to not only the health and fitness of their residents, but also the Club Spa and Fitness Association as well as the fitness industry as a whole," said Dr. Abbott. "We congratulate Broken Sound Club, its Club leadership and the exceptional professionalism demonstrated daily by spa and fitness leadership of Michael Tompkins and Doug Rotondi for their management of a fitness facility that is doing it the right way."
Earlier in the year, BSC — a 5-Star Platinum Club of America — was named as a finalist for the South Florida Business Journal's (SFBJ) 2013 Healthiest Employers Award. The recognition came within weeks of the Club being named one of "America's Healthiest Clubs", scoring the highest overall private club rating to date in the nationwide competition by the club industry's premier wellness expert Prevo Health Solutions, and being named a Distinguished Emerald Club by Boardroom Magazine. Eight members of the administrative staff were also presented with the Distinguished Achievement in Leadership award by BoardRoom Magazine, widely viewed as the most respected and influential magazine in the private club industry.
Named "Moonstone", the spa that opened in April was conceptualized by Peacock + Lewis Architects, constructed by The Weitz Company, and features treatment concepts and protocols, product selection, and operational fluidity created by American Leisure that has developed and managed spa programs for the Spa at Fisher Island, Spa at Williams Island in North Miami, The Spa at the landmark Plaza Athenee, NYC and Setai Club & Spa, Wall Street. The new fitness center offers the latest in fitness equipment, scheduled aerobics classes and by-appointment private training sessions, a dedicated Pilates area, and a state-of-the art spin room with interactive video that would rival any area residential community spa.
"We at Broken Sound Club continually strive to be a trailblazer in the club industry on many levels, with a significant priority on the health and wellness of our members," said John Crean, CCE, CHA, the Club's General Manager and Chief Operating Officer. "We are honored that our new Moonstone Spa & Fitness Center has been recognized by Fitness Institute International, knowing how this award aligns with our Club's core values and commitment to our members."
BSC Director of Spa & Fitness Michael Tompkins – who was presented the Distinguished Achievement in Leadership award by BoardRoom Magazine last month – added that the award "means a great deal to all who call Broken Sound Club home, from employees to residents. Our members' spa and fitness committee, and team of trainers, fitness instructors, spa professionals, food and beverage staff, and even tennis and golf pros collaborate for health and wellness success and it feels gratifying to know that we have been recognized by Fitness Institute International for our expertise and commitment to excellence in service."
"We were so proud to share Dr. Abbott's letter regarding the award recognition with our entire Spa and Fitness team and membership…and now we get to share the Merit Award plaque with them as well as we install it in the BSC Fitness Center for all to see," noted BSC Assistant Director of Fitness Doug Rotondi.

Mostly Corvettes were in attendance at McAlister's on April 27 along with a few of the usual Ferrari, Lotus, Mustang, Charger, and a Aston Martin that hadn't been seen before. A number of the Corvettes belonged to Corvette Indy members that were out for the Saturday morning get together including Greg T, Jim A, Rich P, Chris W, Rich & Suzanne B, Greg & Donna B, Darrell & Beth H, Carolyn & Ed J, Charlie & Tammy B, Dee & Jim B, and Jim Shaver the day's photographer. As can be seen a few of the members even braved the outside deck as the sun peaked through clouds. No celebrities were in attendance as it was Mutt Strut Day at IMS and based on Facebook/Twitter postings, Graham Rahal and Pippa were going to be at IMS.

Q: Lex and Yacc/Flex and bison Syntax Error I recently discovered lex and yacc (and flex and bison), and I get an error when trying to tell if a sentence is given to the program.
Here is the .lex file:
%{
        #include <stdio.h>
        #include "1.tab.h"
%}

%%
tweety|sylvester return NP;
a|the return AR;
cat|bird return NC;
run|fly return VI;
eat|hate return VT;
"." return POINT;
.|\n
%%

and the .yacc :
%{
        #include <stdio.h>
%}

%token NP AR NC VI VT POINT
%%
S: PH POINT {printf("Sentence found !\n");}
PH: GN VT GN|GN VI
GN: NP|AR NC
%%
main(){
    yyparse();
}

yyerror(char *s)
{
        fprintf(stderr, "error: %s\n", s);
}

Here is the command I use to compile the program:
lex file.lex
bison -d file.yacc
gcc lex.yy.c 1.tab.c -o test -lfl

When I try to run the program, it works well for the first input, but it then gives me an error quite often. Here's en example:
./test
tweety fly.
Sentence found !
tweety hate sylvester.
error: syntax error

Do you have any idea ?
Thank you.

A: Your grammar only allows for one sentence in the input. You need a new first rule:
P : S | P S ;

where P is the new target symbol ('Program', 'Paragraph', etc., whatever you like).

The writing was on the wall about how this game would go for Thamesians at 9pm on Thursday night!!
Only 4 first team regulars at training. We were already rusty after a prolonged break but this turnout just took away our oil can and left us rigid at the joints.
Game - Quintin showed up to play and we looked like a team that had never played together, worse in fact - we looked like a team of guys who didnt even like each other. In fighting and lack of any kind structure killed us. A few positives to take from the game. Some very strong running and finishing from Zippy, Jonno,Billy, Adrian, Tramp but otherwise terrible all round. Piss poor preparation for a piss poor performance.
To rub salt into the wounds Quintins captain suggested that when we beat them at MHP (convincingly) that it was a fluke at the traffic issues due to the all blacks playing at Twickenham contributed to us playing them off the park. I dont remember the AB's playing on each of the corresponding fixtures last year.
We should look forward to putting this fixture right next year boys - If they stay up that is.

Q: Porque mi plantilla HTML no responde al archivo CSS en mi servidor Apache? En un proyecto (educativo) que tengo, usando el servidor Apache y PHP, me ha ocurrido el siguiente problema:
Mi documento index.php incluye a un fichero php que contiene una plantilla HTML(main.php) que esta ubicada en una carpeta inferior, llamada 'Visual', y en esa misma carpeta está el documento CSS que es utilizada por la plantilla HTML(main.css).
La primera vez que organicé la plantilla HTML con sus estilos CSS todo fue bien, pero después de guardar los archivos y apagar el servidor, al día después, al volver a conectar el servidor y querer hacer cambios en los estilos CSS, la plantilla HTML no respondía a los cambios hechos en main.css; sin embargo, al cambiar de nombre el archivo CSS y su respectiva invocación en la plantilla HTML, volvía a responder correctamente a los cambios hechos en el archivo CSS, sin cambiar su directorio, solo su nombre.
Acá dejare resumidos los dos archivos correspondientes
index.php:
    <?php
    include 'Visual\main.php';
    ?>

main.php:
<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Main</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="Visual\main.css">
    </head>
</html>

*Aclaro que en la invocacion CSS en main.php se hace tomando referencia en index.php, ya que es desde alli donde se incluye a main.php. Por ello, la ruta es 'Visual\main.css' y no 'main.css'
Este es un problema que la verdad no entiendo, incluso si elimino el archivo CSS, la plantilla HTML no responde y sigue con los estilos definidos anteriormente.

Scientists Demonstrate Method of Turning Spinach Leaves Into Human Heart Tissue

Spinach has long been understood to be good for your heart. But researchers have demonstrated that some day spinach could actually be your heart. Specifically, it could be used to repair damaged tissue by giving human heart tissue a plant-infused vascular system.
Scientists Just 3D Printed a Transplantable Human Ear
Scientists have developed an innovative 3D bioprinter capable of generating replacement tissue…
Scientists have previously fabricated human tissue with 3D printing, but the tiny blood vessels have proven to be a more difficult prospect for duplication. A team of researchers from several American universities has gone back to nature to solve that problem and their results are extremely encouraging.
Spinach leaves have fine veins that transport water and nutrients to the plant's cells. The process that's outlined in a new paper published in Biomaterials shows that the plant cells can be removed, leaving behind only the cellulose structure that keeps those cells in place.
The authors of the study write:
Cellulose, which is the most abundant component of plant cell walls, is a well-studied biomaterial for a variety of clinical applications. Cellulose is biocompatible and has been shown to promote wound healing. Furthermore, cellulosic tissue engineering scaffolds derived from decellularized apple slices have shown the ability for mammalian cell attachment and proliferation and were found to be biocompatible when implanted subcutaneously in vivo.
From there, they were able to seed live human cells onto the spinach scaffolding. Once the human tissue had grown around the network of veins, they were able to show that blood cells could flow through the system by pumping fluids and microbeads into it.
For patients with damage to their cardiac muscle tissue, this could be a game changer. New heart matter could be generated by using the altered plant veins as replacement blood vessels to deliver oxygen to the tissue.
We're not nearly to the point that this could be implemented in surgery but the authors of the paper believe that it's a viable first step towards "a new branch of science that investigates the mimicry between kingdoms, e.g. between plant and animal."
I, for one, welcome a future in which I become part-plant, part-human.

Rob's NDSS poster has graphs showing various ways of choosing how to throttle flows at entry guards. We should collect these patches for posterity.
Also we should see if the most promising of them need to be cleaned up before we'd want to put them into 0.2.4 as a thing to do a realistic experiment on.
I was told that there's now also a USENIX paper on this topic.
Making this a sponsor Z ticket. The task would be to compare the different algorithms for entry nodes to do the throttling, pick one of the patches, clean it up, and merge it into 0.2.4.x.
They are currently at an alpha release of 0.2.3 (I can't remember which), and will have to be merged into master. That shouldn't be too bad.
This ticket is tagged SponsorZ, but it looks like progress stalled years ago. Is this still a thing that needs funding? Has the issue been addressed by other dev work?
This could be quite valuable if we do it.
Rob, I found this ticket while I was going through the Tor: Unspecified milestone. Should we still consider these branches, or should we assume that they're 5 years old and no longer what we ought to do?
The throttling techniques in these patches attempt to distinguish persistent bulk flows from bursty flows using approaches based on unsupervised learning. I would want additional analysis before recommending these get deployed as-is.
This was assigned to me, but I'm not sure why. Could someone clarify that please?
Is some type of throttling something that is seriously being considered for merge? It's unlikely that I will have a significant amount of time within the next six months to push this forward enough to make it merge-able, but I'm happy to provide guidance if someone else plans to wear that hat.
I'd put this as needs_review under the impression that somebody should be looking at the code at some point. If that's not so, we can put it back into "tor:unspecified".
The "assigned" event was to set you as the owner, since (I think?) you wrote the original code here?
FWIW, Rob -- this ticket is mainly about trying to get you to make the patches public. Is that something you can do?
AIUI, Tor doesn't generally "archive" research code. Perhaps this case was different because of the potential positive impact that throttling could have on general Tor usage? In any case, I don't plan on removing my code from my GitHub Tor clone linked above, but do feel free to "collect" it in some way if that is desirable.
I think we can close this ticket. If we indeed want to further pursue it, deciding if throttling should actually be done and how should probably be a new ticket.
Great! Thanks, Rob! And sorry for my confusion.

Q: Eigenvalues of Matrix vs Eigenvalues of Operator I'm having some trouble reconciling the concept of eigenvalues of operators with eigenvalues of matrices: Say you have an $n\times n$ matrix $A$. It represents a linear operator $T:V\to V$ with respect to some basis $\{e_i\}$ in the background. Now my understanding is that
1.) Whatever the basis is, it has no effect on the eigenvalues of $A$. I.e. solutions to $\text{det}(A-\lambda I)=0$ gives the same solutions regardless if we have $\{e_i\}$ or $\{e_i'\}$ as the basis in the background, so long as we keep the entries of $A$ the same in both cases.
2.) The eigenvalues of $A$ are the same as the eigenvalues of $T$ as long as we use the basis $\{e_i\}$ in which $A$ represents $T$.
However, if we keep the entries of $A$ the same, and change the basis in the background, then $A$ represents a different linear operator $T'$. This seems contradictory since
\begin{align}
\{\text{eigenvalues of} \ T\}&=\{\text{eigenvalues of} \ A \ \text{with respect to basis} \{e_i\}\} \ \ \text{by 2}\\
&=\{\text{eigenvalues of} \ A \ \text{with respect to basis} \{e_i'\}\} \ \ \text{by 1} \\
&=\{\text{eigenvalues of} \ T'\} \ \ \text{by 2}
\end{align}
But there's no reason the two operators $T$ and $T'$ should have the same eigenvalues. Can someone point out what's wrong here? Any help would be appreciated.

A: If you randomly give two linear operators $T$ and $T'$ on $V$, then of course, there is no reason at all they should have same eigenvalues. However, your $T$ and $T'$ are not randomly picked. You first give $T$ and define $A$ as its matrix respect to some basis $\alpha$. Then you choose another basis $\beta$ in $V$ and define $T'$ in such a way that its representation matrix with respect to $\beta$ is
$$
[T']_\beta=A.
$$
Consequently, your $T$ and $T'$ are related to each other in such a way that
$$
[T]_\alpha=[T']_\beta.
$$

As a consequence of the following exercise, your $T$ and $T'$ have the same eigenvalues.
Exercise: Show that $T$ and $[T]_\alpha$ have exactly same eigenvalues for any basis $\alpha$ in $V$.

A: Two matrices $A,B \in M_n(\mathbb{F})$ are called similar if there exists an invertible matrix $P$ such that $P^{-1}AP = B$. Two linear maps $T,S \colon V \rightarrow V$ on a finite dimensional vector space are called similar if there exists an invertible linear transformation $R$ (which is the same thing as an isomorphism) such that $R^{-1} \circ T \circ R = S$. Consider the following statements:

*

*The maps $T,S$ are similar if and only if the matrices $[T]_{\mathcal{B}},[S]_{\mathcal{B}}$ representing the maps with respect to an arbitrary ordered basis $\mathcal{B}$ of $V$ are similar.

*Two matrices $A,B \in M_n(\mathbb{F})$ are similar if and only if for any $n$ dimensional vector space $V$, any choice of ordered basis $\mathcal{B}_1$ for $V$ and any operator $T \colon V \rightarrow V$ such that $[T]_{\mathcal{B}_1} = A$ you can find a basis $\mathcal{B}_2$ such that $[T]_{\mathcal{B}_2} = B$. Thus, similar matrices define the same linear operators up to a choice of basis.

*Two linear maps $T,S \colon V \rightarrow V$ are similar if and only if they can be represented by the same matrix with respect to two different ordered bases of $V$.

You can check directly that similar linear maps have the same eigenvalues and this will also imply that similar matrices have the same eigenvalues (as the eigenvalues of a matrix $A$ are precisely the eigenvalues of the linear map $T_A \colon \mathbb{F}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{F}^n$ associated to $A$). In your case, the maps $T$ and $T'$ are similar and hence they have the same eigenvalues.

A: Why shouldn't there be two linear operators with the same eigenvalues?
Consider a vector space $V$ of dimension 2, with linear operators $T$, $T'$ such that $T(e_1) = e_1, T(e_2) = 2e_2$ and $T'(e_1) = 2e_1, T'(e_2) = e_2 $ for a basis of $V$, $\{e_1, e_2\}$.
You can check whether these are linear operators quite easily.

Un ciclo de conducción es una serie  de puntos de datos que representa la velocidad de un vehículo versus tiempo.

Los ciclos de conducción se establecen por diferentes países y organizaciones, para evaluar el rendimiento de vehículos en varias maneras, como por ejemplo en cuanto al consumo de combustible y emisiones contaminantes .

Para los coches que queden de combustión,el consumo de combustible y las pruebas de emisión se llevan a cabo en dinamómetros de chasis.  Las emisiones del tubo de escape se recogen y miden para indicar el rendimiento del vehículo.

Otro uso de los ciclos de conducción es en simulacros de vehículo.  Más específicamente,  se utilizan en simulacros del sistema de la propulsión para pronosticar el rendimiento de los motores de combustión interna, transmisiones, sistemas de propulsión eléctrica, baterías  y componentes similares.

Algunos ciclos de conducción derivan de la teoría, como se prefiere en la Unión europea, mientras que otros son medidas directas  de un patrón de conducción considerado representativo.

Hay dos tipos de ciclos de conducción:

 Ciclos de conducción transitoria, que implican muchos cambios, representando los cambios de velocidad constantes propios de la conducción en carretera.
 Ciclos de conducción modal,  implican periodos prolongados a velocidades constantes.

Los ciclos de conducción estadounidense FTP-75 y el oficioso europeo Hyzem, son transitorios, mientras que los ciclos japoneses Modo 10-15 y JC08 son modales . Algunos ciclos de conducción estilizados altamente  modales, como el oficial europeo NEDC, están diseñados ajustarse a un requisito particular y tienen poca  relación con los patrones de conducción del mundo real. Por el contrario, el WLTP se esfuerza en mimetizar el comportamiento del mundo real. Los ciclos de conducción más comunes  son probablemente el WLTP, NEDC, SORDS y el FTP-75, correspondiendo el último a condiciones de conducción únicamente urbana.

Football club wants to stay on at ground
Future cloudy . . . Timaru Football Club vice-president Ryan Hanifin (left) and president Aaron Donaldson say the Caledonian Ground has been great for the club and it wants to stay. PHOTO: CHRIS TOBIN
by Chris Tobin
The Caledonian Ground has been home to the Timaru Football Club for just over 50 years and members want to stay there for another 50.
The ground has also been home to track cycling for more than 120 years but Cycling South Canterbury is keeping its options open.
Both sports organisations have been forced to consider their futures at the ground as erosion cuts into the nearby coastline.
"The club is worried about what is happening but we want to stay here. We love it here," Timaru Football Club president Aaron Donaldson said.
The club has four senior teams and seven junior teams.
"It's been our home for 50 years and we'd dearly like to be there for another 50. There's a lot of history for the club here and we're concerned for all the other clubs as well, the pistol club, deerstalkers and cycling.
"The hardest part has been there's no solution yet but whatever the solution is, it needs to be taken in consideration as to the cost."
Mr Donaldson said the erosion was still more than 40m away.
"We have a few more years and are not going to panic. We'll stay on and hope it [the erosion] will be fixed."
Cycling South Canterbury president Darren Cuthbertson said he agreed with the Timaru District Council's decision to hold off resurfacing the cycling track until a review was completed regarding the degree of erosion risk.
"If the track lasts only a couple of years it wouldn't be worth the ratepayers' money. We'll suck it up and race on the old crunchy track," Mr Cuthbertson said.
Cycling South Canterbury had been considering finding another venue.
"We're definitely thinking about it as a club. You can get a 250m concrete banked track like they have in Dunedin for $3million to $4million.
"I've had a brief chat with [council parks and recreation manager] Bill Steans and it's possible some land might be available at Sir Basil Arthur Park."
Cycling South Canterbury received a $50,000 grant from Trust Aoraki to assist with resurfacing the track.
The club was in the process of returning the money to the trust until a final decision was made on resurfacing the Caledonian track, Mr Cuthbertson said.
Cycling Otago has a 250m velodrome at Seddon Park in Mosgiel, which was established in 2000.trace affiliate linknike fashion

I can't help myself. I've been getting ready for Halloween early this year. And Not by putting up decorations. But? You say? It's the middle of October. Yes. I began watching Halloween movies since the beginning of Sept.! My son is grown and it's time for me to play. I've started with Halloween flicks. For the last few Fridays, I've had "girls night in." So many movies to choose from! These are a few we've started with and I just found out Annabelle 2 is coming out next year! Watch the preview!
In between Movies I've been catching up on Paranormal Witness and keeping up with American Horror Story!
We've managed to watch The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 twice now. We had another girl join us who really wanted to see both of those movies. I couldn't deny her:) They are both good movies!
Rosemary's Baby ended up next on the list. What a classic. I mean seriously; the movie went live in 1968!
The Witch may be last on our list of Horror before Halloween (two of us have to work on our next movie night:(. The Witch is more of a psychological thriller than horror, but Wow I can't imagine being that religious and that fearful at the same time! The Witch is definitely worth watching, just make sure you turn on your closed caption/subtitle settings before you start so you can hear and understand everything that's being said.
