The James W. Allison papers
Identifier: M 1
VCU James Branch Cabell Library
The James W. Allison papers are a valuable resource for those interested in late 19th century architectural history or who want to know more about the history of this building due to its use as the VCU Office of the President. The collection contains original architectural drawings, correspondence, specifications, building notes, memoranda, blueprints, and illustrations dealing with the design and construction of 910 West Franklin Street. The majority of the letters are from the architects Percy Griffin and T. Henry Randall. The correspondence details the demise of the Griffin and Randall's architectural firm which dissolved in 1894. Also included with this collection are plaster and wallpaper fragments collected after fire at the house in 1971.
Majority of material found within 1892-1896, 1971
Allison, James (James W.) (Person)
The collection is open to research.
Some blueprints and plans are fragile.
There are no restrictions.
James Waters Allison was born in Richmond, Virginia on December 15, 1833 to William Allison (1783-1850) and Nancy Ann Waters Allison (1799-1860). Allison, a life-long resident of Richmond, began in business with the firm of Ludlam & Watson, forwarding merchants and agents for the Powhatan Steamship Company. He later worked with the Old Dominion Steamship Company. After his father's death in 1850, Allison began a tobacco manufacturing company with his partner William Palmer. The business closed at the outbreak of the Civil War. In 1858 Allison married his first wife Mary Robbins Zimmerman of Alexandria, Virginia. They had a daughter, Dora, born in 1859.
After the war ended in 1865, Allison and his partner Edmund B. Addison established the seed and fertilizer firm of Allison and Addison. By the 1890s the company had greatly expanded and become one of the most successful fertilizer producers in the South with branches in Charleston, South Carolina, Columbus and Savannah, Georgia, as well as other southern cities. After the death of his first wife, Allison married Bettie L. Thomas (1848-1876) of Richmond, but she died not long after their marriage. Minnie Clemens Jones (1870-1927) became his third wife in December 1890 and Allison began searching for a new home in 1891.
At some point Allison decided to build rather than buy and acquired a lot on West Franklin Street, Richmond's most fashionable residential neighborhood during that period. The house was designed by New York architectural firm of Griffin & Randall and built between 1894 and 1896. Both partners boasted fine architectural pedigrees. Percy Griffin (1866-1921) graduated from the architectural school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1884 and then worked in the office of H. H. Richardson. T. Henry Randall (1862-1905), a native of Annapolis, Maryland had also worked for Richardson after attending Johns Hopkins University, MIT, and the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris. Randall, chose the Colonial Revival design of the house, making it one of the first of that style built in Richmond. It pre-dates other early Colonial Revival houses on Monument Avenue by some 10 years. In 1894, while engaged on this project Griffin and Randall decided to dissolve their partnership. Allison was forced to choose which architect he wanted to oversee the completion of his house. Randall, who was the senior partner and had the most influence over the building's design, was selected.
Allison had little time to enjoy his new home as he died suddenly at the age of 65 in 1898. The funeral services were conducted at the home on West Franklin and he was buried in Hollywood Cemetery. At the time of his death Allison left an estate of nearly one million dollars. Allison had been active in other endeavors beyond his firm. He was on the board of directors of the Nation Bank of Virginia and President of the Old Dominion Fruit Growing Company. He as was a member of the James River Improvement Committee and was a founding member of the Broad Street Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
Allison's son James Waters Allison, Jr. (1894-1979) eventually inherited the house on West Franklin Street. In 1938 the family sold the home to the Richmond Professional Institute (RPI), which was used as the office and residence of Henry Hibbs, dean of RPI. The house continued to be used as the office of the president when RPI and the Medical College of Virginia merged to form VCU in 1968.
The collection is arranged into four series and arranged chronologically where applicable.
Series 1: Correspondence, 1892-1896
Series 2: Electric Light and Gas Fixtures, circa 1885-1886
Series 3: Wallpaper and Plaster, 1971
Series 4: Plans and Blueprints, 1890s
The collection was transferred to the library from the Office of the President in 1972.

Global technology vendors shouldn't try to force universal solutions on customers, but match offerings to local requirements, says Fujitsu's Tango Matsumoto.
Globalization means different things to different companies. For those that focus on economies of scale and centralized control it means offering 'one-size-fits-all' products and services to customers around the world, with little regard for local market conditions.
But according to Tango Matsumoto, CTO and CIO at Fujitsu, that model isn't geared to the benefit of customers, who often have more localized requirements.
Fujitsu's belief that it can increase its value to customers by providing products and services targeted to individual needs is something the company has long pursued. But it now wants to sharpen how well it matches customer needs.
Not surprisingly, Fujitsu's focus on developing cutting-edge technology creates an internal belief that its products and services generate major benefits for business and society. But that self-belief can sometimes cloud the reality of customer engagement.
Matsumoto feels there is an opportunity for the company to be more acute in its observations of customers; effectively, to use the customer as a mirror for its own capabilities and responsiveness.
"Ultimately, you understand yourself better as a company by observing the customer very closely and what you have achieved with them," he says. "[But] we need to accept what we see, and [in doing so] be able to respond to the needs of customers.
"We reflect ourselves in the mirror of our customer and should be brave enough to accept the reflection [we see back]," he says.
So if a customer ultimately chooses a rival company's products, that should not be taken as a slight against Fujitsu and signify an end to the conversation, Matsumoto argues. Rather, such a situation opens up the chance to understand their needs even better.
"We should try to learn through the customer's eyes" — and through such interactions correct preconceptions, he argues. Such a reality check should be seen as an opportunity to get in step with customer needs, an opportunity to grow rather than diminish the relationship with the customer, says Matsumoto.


One of the reasons our treatments at Bodylight Therapy are so effective is that we're not content merely to target the obvious physical problems that the client presents us with. We also address the issues of the whole person through a holistic approach, otherwise known as mind-body-spirit medicine.
So what is mind-body-spirit medicine, and where does it come from?
Treating the symptom, rather than the whole patient as a person, is a relatively modern healthcare technique. It was brought in by the ancient Greek Hippocrates who, in the 5th century BC, separated the teaching of the healing from where it originally sat, holistically, with the other sciences and arts of the day, including natural philosophy.
From then on, doctors began to be trained to only accept that which could be discerned materially — in other words, just that which they could observe through the five primary human senses. That is why physicians today take the Hippocratic Oath, to agree that they will be bound by those principles. But judging by the length of today's hospital waiting lists, it has achieved a relatively minimal success rate.
Our earlier ancestors took a much more holistic view of health, and practiced mind-body-spirit medicine. To them, it would have been unthinkable not to involve the spirits (otherwise known as gods or angels) in the healing, and to call on them for guidance. The spirits cannot be perceived by the five outer senses of the Hippocratic Oath, but appear as the result of an inward experience of meditation or trance.
Archaeologists and anthropologists are increasingly of the view that the ancients used what we now call 'shamanic practices' to contact the spirits. In other words, they achieved a direct interface with these extra-dimensional entities by going into trance and gaining guidance and information from them that way.
The furthest back we can go in the historical record is to the ancient Egyptian Imhotep. According to Sir William Osler, Imhotep was the real Father of Medicine (2980 BC) – about 4,000 years ago.
Dated to around the same time, we have the Indian Atharva-veda texts which were written in Sanskrit on palm leaves. It is from the Atharva-veda that Ayurvedic medicine gets its name. Within the Ayurvedic system, the spirits or gods are contacted and included in the healing. The writers of the Vedic texts said that everything they wrote was given to them by spirits. Today, we might call this 'channeling'.
The ancient Egyptians during the time of Imhotep would introduce neophyte healers to the spirits within inductions or initiations known as the Mystery teachings. The Mystery schools or groves were prevalent in many of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean from about 4,000 years ago. Pythagorus and Plato were thought to be initiates of these schools.
But after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 332 BC, a different view of science began to predominate and, as the Greeks imposed much of their own culture on that of the Egyptians, eventually, the name of Imhotep was replaced by their own much more materially-minded Hippocrates.
It took a further 1,800 years before a medieval alchemist and physician, Theophrastus Paracelsus, rediscovered the more holistic practices of Imhotep, in his travels through Asia and the Middle East, and brought them back to Europe. However, he was widely ridiculed by his peers and the Hippocratic regime continued unabated.
So it wasn't until the 1960s, when an influx of Eastern teachings began to enter the continent through young people visiting India and the Far East, that mind-body-spirit medicine started to become widely known about again, and holistic health practices began to spring up in the West.
At first, it was just mainly massage-related therapy centres that started to appear, such as those devoted to Aromatherapy, Ayurvedic Massage and Thai Massage. Then centres for Acupuncture, Acupressure and Chinese Herbal Medicine began to appear, especially in larger cities which had their own Chinese and Japanese populations that wanted healthcare techniques which they were familiar with.
Eventually, other therapies which had been developed 'before their time' in the early 1900s, and considered then to be 'crank', slowly gained recognition from this new and more aware audience.
For instance, one of those healing modalities is Craniosacral Therapy, which is based upon the movement of the craniosacral fluid rhythms within the body. This rhythm is determined by factors which are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Lynne has had some very successful results with Craniosacral Therapy, especially when old, stuck emotions are hanging around and causing an imbalance in the body.
Any kind of healing therapy, even massage, is improved by both the practitioner and the patient tuning into the patient's guiding spirits or angels. And this is where the mind bit of mind-body-spirit comes in. By concentrating the mind on positive forces and elements which support the healing, much better and faster results can be achieved.
In summary, we can say that to be treated holistically means acknowledging that you are a person who has a condition associated with your mind body spirit continuum, rather than a condition to be treated that just happens to have a person connected to it. In mind body spirit therapy we say that we treat the person rather than the condition. At Bodylight Therapy, before we begin any session we will listen to you, ask you how you are feeling physically, emotionally and spiritually, and then spend time tuning in to you so we can offer you the most appropriate therapy and mode of healing energy for your needs.

Liverpool FC 2020/21 Nike Home Kit
Reissue: Arsenal 1990/92 adidas Originals Home Kit
Man City, AC Milan, BVB & Marseille PUMA x BALR. Kits
Manchester United 2020/21 adidas Icons Jersey
Liverpool Football Club and Nike have unveiled the club's 2020/21 home kit — the first collaboration of an multi-year partnership between two icons of sport. The partnership brings together the current Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup champions with Nike starting August 1st when the American firm will become Liverpool FC's official kit supplier.
Liverpool FC's 2020/21 home kit is a celebration of this new relationship. It acknowledges the past, while setting the tone for future collections. Liverpool's new home kit is comprised of the traditional red jersey and red shorts and socks. The use of a brighter red exudes youth and vibrancy, complementing the traditional white and the introduction of teal to the home jersey.
The red, white and teal has been a traditional color combination for LFC over the years, particularly as it relates to the traditional club crest. The teal holds a further symbolic connection to the city of Liverpool through the Liver Birds that sit proudly looking over the city, and have been a prominent fixture on the Liverpool Football Club jersey since the club formed in 1892.
"I've been part of the Nike family for six years and we have an incredible relationship," says defender Virgil van Dijk. "I'm very familiar with the quality of the design and innovation that goes into making a kit like this. Stepping out as champions next season in this kit will be really special."
"I'm very familiar with the quality of the design and innovation that goes into making a kit like this. Stepping out as champions next season in this kit will be really special."
Liverpool's 2020/21 Nike home jersey has a stylish V-neck collar with white and teal color-blocked stripes. Stripes also appear on the trim of the sleeves and form hoops around the tops of the socks. On the nape of the neck the 96 emblem, encased by the eternal flames, sits proudly in memory of the 96 children, women and men who lost their lives at Hillsborough.
The kit benefits from the latest in Nike performance innovation for fit and moisture management. Consistent with Nike's commitment to sustainability, the Liverpool FC kits are constructed with 100 percent recycled polyester fabric, made from recycled plastic bottles.
The Liverpool Football Club 2020/21 Nike home kit will be available at
World Soccer Shop, UK Soccer Shop, Lovell Soccer, Pro:Direct Soccer and Kitbag.

Q: Renew short lived access_token for a long time Let me explain the title :
I have a PHP API using OAuth2 authentication.
I have a NodeJS application,using this API via Password Grant. In session, the node stores access token and refresh token per user.
I have no trouble renewing the access_token with the refresh_token, when the user is requesting the node or via a front end demon, asking node to refresh regularly.
My question is :
I would like to keep my access_token short lived as I heard it was a further security (3600 sec or so), but I would like to allow the user to come back a few days later and still be authenticated, or at least avoiding asking him password login once more. Am I forced to make the access token lifetime longer ?
Does the Node Server need to refresh the user's token even if he's not requesting anything ?
Thank you in advance

A: A refresh token can not expire or can have a very long time expiration.

A: In many common OAuth2 implementations refresh tokens are valid for a long time (much longer than the access token) or do not expire at all. You need to store this refresh token linked to your node session (For instance in DB). Then, when the user is coming back, just retrieve a new access token using the related refresh token.
According to http://blog.cloud-elements.com/oauth-2-0-access-refresh-token-guide:

*

*Box

*

*Access token: 1 hour

*Refresh token: 60 days (resets 60 days when retrieving new access token)

*Dropbox

*Access token: Forever

*Refresh token: N/A

*Google DriveGoogle Drive OAuth

*Access token: 1 hour, from my experience, but it seems this can vary depending on the Google API (expires_in field is returned in JSON)

Yes, New Orleans is the hottest food city in America
By Scott Gold
Published on 8/16/2013 at 4:00 PM
Scott Gold
The Big Easy is in boom times, baby. As the fastest growing city in America, national talent is flocking to New Orleans like never before, and the restaurant scene has kept pace. Why? Cost of living and business overhead is a fraction of what it would be to run an eatery in any other major metropolitan city. Also, people like to eat stuff. So new spots are opening at a crazy rate, while stalwart favorites and Grand Dame restaurants are refreshing their menus to draw in a newer, younger clientele. Add that up, and you have the recipe for culinary magic, all in one amazing, incomparable city. Let's see why...
1)We're taking chances.
In the past few years, more than a handful of intrepid chefs have tested the local waters with pop-up restaurants, only to find wild success and subsequent brick-and-mortars. Because of pop-ups, we now have Nathaniel Zimet's Boucherie (started as a purple food truck), NYC-style slices at Pizza Delicious, handmade ramen and sweet treats at Noodle & Pie, gourmet tube steaks from Dat Dog, and more. Not to mention the growing number of current pop-ups to keep diners on their toes, like Purloo, Milkfish, Borracho, Gemelli's, and more rearing their newbie heads seemingly each week.
2) We're an old soul, but have embraced the new.
Before Katrina, New Orleans diners would have scoffed at the words "modernist cuisine" or "molecular gastronomy". Now, with the kitchen wizardry of chefs like Phillip Lopez at Root, with his foie gras lolly pops and black-laquered chicken, as well as SoBou's Juan Carlos Gonzales (he of the ghost chile cotton candy and tuna tartare ice cream cones), the Crescent City is joyfully celebrating the new while paying homage to tradition. It's the best of both worlds!
3) We invented the cocktail.
Sure, there are neat things happening in San Francisco, Chicago, Portland, and New York when it comes to boozy libations, but all the suspenders and mustache wax in the world won't alter the fact that the cocktail was born in New Orleans, and we're still its baby-daddy. Why else would the entire industry gather here to hone their craft during Tales of the Cocktail each August? You want fancy infusions, syrups, tinctures, house-made bitters, and "rocks" carved into perfect spheres by hand with ice cleavers? We got that. Want to drink a Sazerac or French 75 where they were actually invented, over a century ago? Man, you're demanding, but we've got you covered there, too.
4) "Traditional" doesn't mean "boring".
There are maybe two or three other cities in America with restaurants as old as some of the ones in New Orleans, but it's guaranteed they're not as much fun. Restos like Commander's Palace continue to keep the old times lively with their 25 cent martini lunches, while making sure the menu stays fresh (Chef Tory McPhail recently won a James Beard award for doing just that).
5) We have the best service in the country.
At Galatoire's, you ask for your waiter's section by name as you wait in line for the fabled Friday lunch. At places like Arnaud's, classic dishes like cafe brulot and bananas foster are skillfully engulfed in flames tableside by a professional who damned well knows what he or she is doing (stuff involving fire tends to bring that out), and typifies the level of service and dedication that extends throughout the bar & resto scene here.
6) "Local" and "seasonal" aren't new buzzwords in these parts.
New Orleans has always reveled in the embarrassment of riches that is our local produce, seafood, meat, and game. Creole tomatoes, cauliflower, mirliton, blackberries, peaches, and corn are our bread and butter (also, bread and butter). We are and always have been the kings of crabs, crawfish, huge shrimp, and amazing fish, not to mention alligators, frogs, and turtles. You like oysters? So do we... that's why we don't gouge you $3.50 per bivalve for them, like an asshole. For under 12 bucks, you can get a dozen of the freshest, cleanest, BIGGEST oysters on the planet, like at Casamento's, which has been rocking the oyster bar since 1919.
7) We still take reservations.
Sure, there are a number of eateries -- mostly casual -- that take only walk-ins. But this hyper-egalitarian no-res policy for popular fine dining eateries? Pssht. If you make a reservation, we will take care of you, the way it used to (and should) be.
8) You don't have to wait in line for four hours for a pastry.
Up your cronuts, New York. We have do'sants, beignets, and buttermilk drops, and we have them RIGHT NOW.

Introduction to GraphQL
GraphQL vs. REST
2:37 with Isaac Lee Morris
How does GraphQL differ from REST services? In this video, we will go over some simple example REST APIs, and what they would look like expressed with GraphQL.
New Terms:
REST - A RESTful API is one that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE data. For example: http://api.example.com/movies/gone-with-the-wind
GraphQL vs. REST by Sashko Stubailo
If you've built a modern web application,
chances are you've used a REST API at some point.
REST has been the gold standard for
API development since as far back as 2000 when Roy Fielding published
his paper that demonstrated a more intuitive way of organizing APIs.
While REST has served the web community well, in the past 15 years,
we've also learned some of the challenges that come with it.
Let's take, for example, a simple Hollywood API which exposes data about
various movies and the studios involved in producing them.
Say we wanted to fetch some information about a specific movie
from the Hollywood API using REST.
We'd probably hit an endpoints that looks something like this.
We'd use an HTTP get method with a base path of movies,
followed by a parameter containing the movie ID, for example, Gone with the Wind.
The API would respond by returning a movie object,
which would contain simple fields that describe the movie.
Like an ID, a title, and a tagline.
Say we only needed the title of a specific movie.
Best case scenario,
we'd have to add an unintuitive query string to the end of our request URL.
Or even more likely, we wouldn't be able to make this change at all.
For more complex objects,
it would probably feature fields that contain references to other objects.
For example, it might have a studio field.
But the studio field wouldn't contain the actual studio object.
Instead, it would have an ID that could be used with the studio's end point.
In order to get information about the studio,
we would need to make another request with the studio ID.
That end point would return more simple fields like the studio name and
location and maybe the IDs of movies that the studio had produced.
Now, let's use the same example to see how Graft QL differs from REST.
With Graft QL we would have a root level end point for movies called movieById.
However, unlike REST,
when querying that endpoint we can include as many or as few fields as we need.
Not only that, but when querying for a movie, we could actually request that
GraphQL embed the details about its studio in the same response.
So we only have to make one request to learn more about both items.
We'll dive into more about this later in the course.
For now, just note that GraphQL allows us to nest complex data in a single request.

Q: spacewalk on RHEL6 is it possible to install Spacewalk on RHEL 6.9?
i only see community support on that.
and if it is not, is it possible that centos server can be the repository and from there on distributed to other types of Linux ? ( RHEL/ SUSE?)

A: It is possible. See https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall
If you want commercial support then you can buy Red Hat Satellite 5 which is based on Spacewalk.
Mind that Red Hat Satellite 5 is being replaced by Red Hat Satellite 6, which is base on Foreman.

Watching large companies shuffle about is a bit like playing Neptune's Pride. We know Linden Lab are enacting a slow and steady change in direction under former Sims Studio steersman Rod Humble, for instance, but won't know exactly why until it's too late. This week they've acquired indie-friendly distributor Desura – but rather than make it their own glorified gift shop a la Origin, they've committed themselves to opening up the store even further to make it "the most open and developer-friendly platform in the world".
Have you seen Desura's mod section? It's pretty unique among game stores, so it's no small mercy that it's made the transition.
We last noticed Linden Lab announcing Patterns, their Minecraft-but-with-triangles. Developed in collaboration with Free Range Games and an early alpha community, it's possessed of a kind of abstract openness that would look pretty good on Desura, come to think of it.
Post-Humble, the company has made two other acquisitions: first physics-enabled iPad 3D modelling tool Blocksworld, and then indie interactive fiction specialists LittleTextPeople. Whatever they're doing, I think Linden Lab have gone and made themselves interesting again, haven't they?


Skin problems are among the most frequent medical problems in returned travelers. A large case series of dermatologic problems in returned travelers from the GeoSentinel Surveillance Network showed that cutaneous larva migrans, insect bites, and bacterial infections were the most frequent skin problems in ill travelers who sought medical care, making up 30% of the 4,742 diagnoses (Table 5-05). A recent Canadian study of 1,076 returned travelers with dermatologic problems confirmed this finding. However, both of these studies are biased in that they do not include skin problems that were diagnosed and, in many cases, easily managed during travel or that were self-limited.
It is important to recognize that skin conditions in returned travelers may not have a travel-related cause.
Insect bites, the most common cause of papular lesions, may be associated with secondary infection or hypersensitivity reactions. Bed bug and flea bites may produce grouped papules (see Box 2-05 for more information about bed bugs). Flea bites tend to have hemorrhagic centers. Scabies infestation usually manifests as a generalized or regional pruritic, papular rash. Scabies burrows may present as papules or pustules in a short linear pattern on the skin, frequently in the web spaces of the fingers.
Onchocerciasis may occur in long-stay travelers living in rural sub-Saharan Africa and, rarely, Latin America. It usually manifests as a generalized pruritic, papular dermatitis.
Bacterial skin infections may occur more frequently after bites and other wounds in the tropics, particularly when good hygiene cannot be maintained. Organisms responsible are commonly Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. Drug-resistant organisms are frequently acquired in the tropics. The presentations can include pyoderma or impetigo, abscess formation, erysipelas, cellulitis, lymphangitis, or ulceration. Furunculosis, or recurrent pyoderma, may be the result of colonization of the skin and nasal mucosa with S. aureus. Boils may continue to occur weeks or months after a traveler returns and, if associated with S. aureus, definitive treatment usually involves decolonization with nasal mupirocin, a skin wash with an antimicrobial skin cleanser, and less often, an oral antibiotic combination including rifampin.
In addition to pyoderma, cellulitis or erysipelas may complicate excoriated insect bites or any trauma to the skin. Cellulitis and erysipelas manifest as areas of skin erythema, edema, and warmth in the absence of an underlying suppurative focus. Unlike cellulitis, erysipelas lesions are raised, there is a clear line of demarcation at the edge of the lesion, and the lesions are more likely to be associated with fever. Cellulitis, on the other hand, is more likely to be associated with lymphangitis. Cellulitis and erysipelas are usually caused by β-hemolytic streptococci (such as groups A, B, C, G, and F Streptococcus). S. aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains) and gram-negative aerobic bacteria may also cause cellulitis.
Another common bacterial skin infection, especially in children in the tropics, is impetigo due to S. aureus or S. pyogenes. Impetigo is a highly contagious superficial skin infection that generally appears on the arms, legs, or face as "honeycolored" or golden crusting formed from dried serum. Local care and a topical antibiotic such as mupirocin may be used, although a systemic antibiotic may be required. Emerging antibiotic resistance among staphylococci and streptococci complicates antimicrobial options.
Myiasis presents as a painful lesion similar to a boil. It is caused by infestation with the larval stage of the African tumbu fly (Cordylobia anthropophaga) or the Latin American bot fly (Dermatobia hominis). At the center of the lesion is a small punctum that allows the larva to breathe. Extraction of the fly larva can be difficult, especially of the bot fly; extraction may be facilitated by first asphyxiating the larva, usually with an occlusive dressing or covering (such as a bottle cap filled with petroleum jelly) for several hours and then squeezing the larva out.
Tungiasis is caused by a sand flea (Tunga penetrans). The female burrows into the skin, usually the foot, and produces a nodular, pale, subcutaneous lesion with a central dark spot. The painful or pruritic lesion expands as the female produces eggs in her uterus. Treatment involves extraction.
Loa loa filariasis occurs rarely in long-term travelers living in rural sub-Saharan Africa. The traveler may present with transient, migratory, subcutaneous, painful, or pruritic swellings produced by the adult nematode migration (Calabar swelling). Rarely, the worm can be visualized crossing the conjunctiva of the eye or eyelid. Eosinophilia is common. Loiasis can be diagnosed by finding microfilariae in blood collected during daytime; however, since microfilaremia may be absent, filarial serologic tests may be helpful.
Gnathostomiasis is a nematode infection found primarily in Southeast Asia and less commonly in Africa and Latin America. Infection results from eating undercooked or raw freshwater fish. Infected travelers may experience transient, migratory, subcutaneous, pruritic, or painful swellings that may occur weeks or even years after exposure. The symptoms are due to migration of the worm through the body, and the central nervous system may be involved. Eosinophilia is common, and a definitive diagnosis is often difficult.

Macular lesions are common and often nonspecific and may be due to drug reactions or viral exanthems. Superficial mycoses, such as tinea versicolor and tinea corporis, may also present as macular lesions.
Tinea versicolor, due to Malassezia furfur (previously Pityrosporum ovale), is characterized by asymptomatic hypopigmented or hyperpigmented oval, slightly scaly patches measuring 1–3 cm that are found on the upper chest, neck, and back. Diagnosis may be made by examination with a Wood's lamp or by placing a drop of methylene blue on a slide onto which clear cellulose acetate tape is placed sticky side down, after it has been touched briefly to the skin lesions to pick up superficial scales. Detection of hyphae ("spaghetti") and spores ("meatballs") suggest the diagnosis. Treatment with topical or systemic azoles (ketoconazole, fluconazole), terbinafine, or selenium sulfide (present in some shampoos) is recommended.
Tinea corporis (ringworm) may be caused by a number of different superficial fungi. The lesion is often a single lesion with an expanding red, raised ring, with a central area of clearing in the middle. Treatment is usually several weeks' application of a topical antifungal agent or a short course of an oral antifungal agent.
Lyme disease, a tickborne infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, is common in North America, Europe, and Russia (see Chapter 3, Lyme Disease). An infected traveler may present with ≥1 large erythematous patches, with or without central clearing, often surrounding a prior tick bite. The patient may not have noticed the tick bite.
Leprosy (Hansen disease) frequently presents with hypopigmented or erythematous patches that are frequently hypoesthetic to pin prick and associated with peripheral nerve enlargement. This condition is almost exclusively found in immigrants from developing countries.
Cutaneous larva migrans, a skin infection with the larval stage of dog or cat hookworm (Ancylostoma spp.), manifests as an extremely pruritic, serpiginous, linear lesion that advances in the epidermis of the skin relatively slowly (see Chapter 3, Cutaneous Larva Migrans). A similar lesion that may be more urticarial and that rapidly progresses may be due to larva currens (running larva) due to cutaneous migration of filariform larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis.
Lymphocutaneous spread of infection occurs when organisms spread along superficial cutaneous lymphatics, producing raised, linear, cord-like lesions; nodules or ulcers may also be found. Examples include sporotrichosis, Mycobacterium marinum infection (associated with exposure to water), leishmaniasis, bartonellosis (cat-scratch disease), Nocardia infection, tularemia, melioidosis, and blastomycosis.
Phytophotodermatitis is a noninfectious condition that results from interaction of natural psoralens, most commonly from spilled lime juice, and ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The result is an exaggerated sunburn that gives rise to a linear, asymptomatic lesion that later develops hyperpigmentation. The hyper-pigmentation may take weeks or months to resolve.
Ulcerated skin lesions may result from Staphylococcus infections or may be the direct result of an unseen spider bite. The necrotic ulcer of anthrax is often surrounded by edema and usually results from handling animal hides or products. Rarely, a painless destructive ulcer with undermining edges may result from infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans (Buruli ulcer). Of particular concern is the ulcer (or less commonly, nodule) caused by cutaneous leishmaniasis. The main areas of risk are Latin America, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia, and parts of Africa. The lesion is a chronic, usually painless ulcer unless superinfected, with heaped-up margins on exposed skin surfaces. Special diagnostic techniques are necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Both topical and systemic treatments may be effective; the species of the infection often determines the treatment modality. If cutaneous leishmaniasis is suspected, clinicians can contact CDC at 404-718-4745 or parasites@cdc.gov for further advice about diagnosis and treatment (see Chapter 3, Leishmaniasis, Cutaneous).
Soft tissue infections can occur after both freshwater and saltwater exposure, particularly if there is associated trauma. Puncture wounds due to fishhooks and fish spines, lacerations from inanimate objects during wading and swimming, and bites or stings from fish or other sea creatures may be the source of the trauma leading to waterborne infections. Soft tissue infections associated with exposure to water or water-related animals include M. marinum, Aeromonas spp., Plesiomonas spp., Edwardsiella tarda, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, and Vibrio spp. A variety of skin and soft tissue manifestations may occur in association with these infections, including cellulitis, abscess formation, ecthyma gangrenosum, and necrotizing fasciitis. Vibriosis infection may be especially severe in those with underlying liver disease and may manifest as a dramatic cellulitis with hemorrhagic bullae and sepsis. In general, infections caused by these organisms may be more severe in those who are immunosuppressed. Acute infections related to aquatic injury should be treated with an antibiotic that provides both gram-positive and gram-negative coverage (such as a fluoroquinolone or third-generation cephalosporin) until a specific organism has been identified. M. marinum lesions are usually indolent and usually appear as solitary nodules or papules on an extremity, especially on the dorsum of feet and hands; subsequent progression to shallow ulceration and scar formation may occur. Occasionally, "sporotrichoid" spread may occur as the lesions spread proximally along superficial lymphatics.
"Hot tub folliculitis" due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa may result from the use of inadequately disinfected swimming pools and hot tubs. Folliculitis typically develops 8–48 hours after exposure in contaminated water and consists of tender, pruritic papules, papulopustules, or nodules. Most patients have malaise, and some have low-grade fever. The condition is self-limited in 2–12 days; typically no antibiotic therapy is required.
Wound infections after dog and cat bites are caused by a variety of microorganisms. S. aureus; α-, β-, and γ-hemolytic streptococci; several genera of gram-negative organisms; and a number of anaerobic microorganisms have been isolated. The prevalence of Pasteurella multocida isolates from dog bite wounds is 20%–50%; P. multocida is a major pathogen in cat bite infections. Splenectomized patients are at particular risk of severe cellulitis and sepsis due to Capnocytophaga canimorsus after a dog bite. Management of dog and cat bites includes consideration of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis, tetanus immunization, and antibiotic prophylaxis. Primary closure of puncture wounds and dog bites to the hand should be avoided. Antibiotic prophylaxis for dog bites is controversial, although most experts would treat splenectomized patients with amoxicillinclavulanate prophylactically. Since P. multocida is a common accompaniment of cat bites, prophylaxis with amoxicillin-clavulanate or a fluoroquinolone for 3–5 days should be considered. Management of monkey bites includes wound care, tetanus immunization, rabies postexposure prophylaxis, and consideration of antimicrobial prophylaxis. Bites and scratches from Old World macaque monkeys have also been associated with fatal encephalomyelitis due to B virus infection in humans (see Chapter 3, B virus). Valacyclovir postexposure prophylaxis is recommended after a high-risk macaque exposure.
Fever and rash in returned travelers are most often due to a viral infection.
Dengue is caused by 1 of 4 strains of dengue viruses (see Chapter 3, Dengue). The disease is transmitted by an Aedes mosquito often found in urban areas, and its incidence continues to increase. The disease is characterized by the abrupt onset of high fever, frontal headache (often accompanied by retro-orbital pain), myalgia, and a faint macular rash (containing islands of pallor) that becomes evident on the second to fourth day of illness. A petechial rash may be found in classical dengue, as well as in severe dengue. Antigen and antibody detection tests, as well as PCR assays, are available to diagnose dengue; detecting IgM in the appropriate clinical scenario would support the diagnosis. Treatment is supportive.
Chikungunya, a virus transmitted by a primarily Aedes mosquito, has caused major outbreaks of illness in southeast Africa, South Asia, the Americas, and the Caribbean (see Chapter 3, Chikungunya). Chikungunya is similar to dengue clinically, including the rash, although hemorrhage, shock, and death are not typical of chikungunya. A major distinguishing feature is that arthritis or arthralgia is common with chikungunya (and may persist for months), whereas in dengue, myalgia is the major clinical feature. Similar to dengue, serologic tests are available. Treatment of the arthritis is with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Zika, a virus also transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes has caused a major outbreak in the Western Hemisphere since May 2015 (see Chapter 3, Zika). Sexual transmission has been documented as well. The infection is characterized by fever, arthralgia, lymphadenopathy, maculopapular rash, and conjunctivitis. Microcephaly, brain and eye damage, and fetal loss have occurred as a result of fetal infection. An increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome has also been documented. Diagnosis is by molecular diagnostics and serologic testing. Treatment is supportive.
South African tick typhus, or African tick-bite fever (Rickettsia africae), is the most frequent cause of fever and rash in southern Africa. Transmitted by ticks, the disease is characterized by fever and a papular or vesicular rash associated with localized lymphadenopathy and the presence of an eschar (a mildly painful 1 to 2 cm black necrotic lesion with an erythematous margin). Satellite lesions may be present. Diagnosis is usually through clinical recognition and is confirmed by serologic testing. Treatment is with doxycycline. Other rickettsial infections such as rickettsialpox and scrub typhus may present with eschars or maculopapular, vesicular, and petechial rashes.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), although uncommon in travelers, is an important cause of fever and rash because of its potential severity and the need for early treatment. This tickborne infection is found in the United States, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. Most patients with RMSF develop a rash between the 3rd and 5th days of illness. The typical rash of RMSF begins on the ankles and wrists and spreads both centrally and to the palms and soles. The rash commonly begins as a maculopapular eruption and then becomes petechial, although in some patients it begins with petechiae. Doxycycline is the treatment of choice.
The category of fever with rash is large, and providers caring for ill travelers should also consider the following diagnoses: enteroviruses, such as echovirus and coxsackievirus; hepatitis B virus; measles; Epstein-Barr virus; cytomegalovirus; typhus; leptospirosis; syphilis; and HIV.

Oxtail or cow's tail is available at the grocery stores in sections. Each section has a tailbone, some marrow in the centre with meat surrounding the bone. The meat is covered with a bit of yellowish fat, most of it trimmed off by the butcher.
As the tail is constantly in motion, the meat is muscular and tough. When braised for 3 hours or pressure cooked, the meat becomes tender. Oxtail is often used in preparing broth, stew or soup for its unique, complex flavour. When cooked the goan way, it is rich and delectable.
It is a good source of protein, iron and minerals (glucosamine, chondroitin, magnesium, glycine, phosphorus) marrow and collagen. These nutrients help form bone cells, connective tissue and collagen all necessary for joint and bone health.
Trim any excess fat from the oxtail, wash and marinate with all the spice powders, tenderizer, garlic, ginger, vinegar and salt, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
In a wide bottomed pressure cooker, heat oil with onions and fry till light brown. Add the green chillies and tomato. Stir and let tomato soften. Then add in the marinated oxtail and sear well for few minutes. Now add the tamarind water along with water (indicated in list of ingredients). Cover lid, put weight and pressure cook for 40 minutes.
Cool cooker under a tap of running water, release all the steam, then remove weight and open lid. Place the cooker back on the fire and add potatoes. Add bouillon cube, a pinch of sugar and check for seasoning. Simmer uncovered on medium heat till potatoes are tender and gravy thickens. At this stage, you can dry out the gravy completely or leave some. Finish with mint and coriander leaves.
With 40 minutes of pressure cooking, oxtail was tender.
Adjust spiciness and sourness according to your preference.

Q: Python: take unique dates in dataframe I have a data frame that looks like this:
                       price
Date
2022-01-01 19:20:00    100
2022-01-01 19:27:00    100
2022-01-02 19:31:00    102

I want the dataframe to only have unique dates:
                       price
Date
2022-01-01 19:20:00    100
2022-01-02 19:31:00    102

How can I achieve that?

A: You can simply use duplicated:
# pre-requisite
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])

df[~df['Date'].dt.date.duplicated()]

Or if working with the index:
df[~df.index.to_series().dt.date.duplicated().values]

Output:
                 Date  price
0 2022-01-01 19:20:00    100
2 2022-01-02 19:31:00    102

A: You can extract the date from the datetime column using df.Date.dt.date, put that into a new column using assign, and after that use drop_duplicates based on only that column. Last, you might want to drop the newly create column that has only the date information. In code that reads
df = (
    df.assign(new_date=lambda df:df.Date.dt.date)
   .drop_duplicates(subset=["new_date"])
   .drop(columns=["new_date"])
)


This is the Bolivia Caranavi brought to you by Higher Grounds Coffee. This Organic and Fair Trade certified coffee was sourced from the growing region of Caranavi Province in Bolivia and was produced by the Union Pro-Agro, AIPEP, and Mejillones cooperatives between 1,000 - 1,750 meters. A true medium roast with tasting notes of cocoa and hazelnut, this coffee is rich and comforting.
Roast was much lighter than expected, I would not consider the flavor to be rich as described. Overall not a bad coffee, just light on flavor.
This tasted like a true medium roast: smooth with some acidity. Chocolate and caramel notes were evident. We both enjoyed this one.
Excellent! We normally like light and medium roasts so we were hesitant, but the smoothness of the beans and freshness was amazing. Keep 'em coming!
I liked the flavor on this, as my first time having freshly roasted coffee. I used no sugar, but still added some french vanilla creamer (for reference I usually add 2-3 spoons of sugar). Rated 4/5 because I have nothing to compare it to besides preground supermarket coffee. One day I dream of drinking coffee with nothing added. I'm not there yet.
Did not like the one. It smelled not very fresh and as if it had been over roasted. I brewed a cup on my Chem ex and the taste confirmed the smell. I ended up throwing the bag away. Would like a refund or another bag sent in it's place please.
This a great tasting coffee. The Nutty flavor really comes through and provides a very pleasing after taste.
Fine. Doesn't really stand out from the rest of the collection.
Excellent roast! I cant decide if it's better as an espresso or pour over but both are satisfying!
Smooth, rich, mellow chocolate/cocoa notes. Not bitter, not acidic, and nutty notes are a nice 'hint' of flavor without being overpowering. Very good body, as well. I like this!
Didn't like the flavor and it was too acidic and mild.
Pretty smooth coffee with some nice nutty notes. A bit weak tasting, however.
Good cup! Once I made the grind a bit coarser than usual, the taste really came out.
Hazlenut came through very distinctly. Really good, not too bitter. One of my favorites.
I don't know what it is, but no matter what I do, this coffee tastes overly bitter. I don't taste any of the flavor notes that are listed. I would not want this coffee again.

Q: Safely Exiting to a Particular State in Case of Error When writing code I often have checks to see if errors occurred. An example would be:
char *x = malloc( some_bytes );
if( x == NULL ){
    fprintf( stderr, "Malloc failed.\n" );
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

I've also used strerror( errno ) in the past.
I've only ever written small desktop appications where it doesn't matter if the program exit()ed in case of an error.
Now, however, I'm writing C code for an embedded system (Arduino) and I don't want the system to just exit in case of an error. I want it to go to a particular state/function where it can power down systems, send error reports and idle safely.
I could simply call an error_handler() function, but I could be deep in the stack and very low on memory, leaving error_handler() inoperable.
Instead, I'd like execution to effectively collapse the stack, free up a bunch of memory and start sorting out powering down and error reporting. There is a serious fire risk if the system doesn't power down safely.
Is there a standard way that safe error handling is implemented in low memory embedded systems?
EDIT 1:
I'll limit my use of malloc() in embedded systems. In this particular case, the errors would occur when reading a file, if the file was not of the correct format.

A: Maybe you're waiting for the Holy and Sacred setjmp/longjmp, the one who came to save all the memory-hungry stacks of their sins?
#include <setjmp.h>

jmp_buf jumpToMeOnAnError;
void someUpperFunctionOnTheStack() {
    if(setjmp(jumpToMeOnAnError) != 0) {
        // Error handling code goes here

        // Return, abort(), while(1) {}, or whatever here...
    }

    // Do routinary stuff
}

void someLowerFunctionOnTheStack() {
    if(theWorldIsOver)
       longjmp(jumpToMeOnAnError, -1);
}

Edit: Prefer not to do malloc()/free()s on embedded systems, for the same reasons you said. It's simply unhandable. Unless you use a lot of return codes/setjmp()s to free the memory all the way up the stack...

A: If your system has a watchdog, you could use:
char *x = malloc( some_bytes );
assert(x != NULL);

The implementation of assert() could be something like:
#define assert (condition) \
    if (!(condition)) while(true)

In case of a failure the watchdog would trigger, the system would make a reset. At restart the system would check the reset reason, if the reset reason was "watchdog reset", the system would goto a safe state.
update
Before entering the while loop, assert cold also output a error message, print the stack trace or save some data in non volatile memory.

A:
Is there a standard way that safe error handling is implemented in low memory embedded systems?

Yes, there is an industry de facto way of handling it. It is all rather simple:

*

*For every module in your program you need to have a result type, such as a custom enum, which describes every possible thing that could go wrong with the functions inside that module.

*You document every function properly, stating what codes it will return upon error and what code it will return upon success.

*You leave all error handling to the caller.

*If the caller is another module, it too passes on the error to its own caller. Possibly renames the error into something more suitable, where applicable.

*The error handling mechanism is located in main(), at the bottom of the call stack.

This works well together with classic state machines. A typical main would be:
void main (void)
{
  for(;;)
  {
    serve_watchdog();

    result = state_machine();

    if(result != good)
    {
      error_handler(result);
    }

You should not use malloc in bare bone or RTOS microcontroller applications, not so much because of safety reasons, but simple because it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to use it. Apply common sense when programming.

A: Use setjmp(3) to set a recovery point, and longjmp(3) to jump to it, restoring the stack to what it was at the setjmp point. It wont free malloced memory.
Generally, it is not a good idea to use malloc/free in an embedded program if it can be avoided. For example, a static array may be adequate, or even using alloca() is marginally better.

A: to minimize stack usage:
write the program so the calls are in parallel rather than function calls sub function that calls sub function that calls sub function.... I.E. top level function calls sub function where sub function promptly returns, with status info. top level function then calls next sub function... etc
The (bad for stack limited) nested method of program architecture:
top level function
    second level function
        third level function
            forth level function

should be avoided in embedded systems
the preferred method of program architecture for embedded systems is:
top level function (the reset event handler)
    (variations in the following depending on if 'warm' or 'cold' start)
    initialize hardware
    initialize peripherals
    initialize communication I/O
    initialize interrupts
    initialize status info
    enable interrupts
    enter background  processing

interrupt handler
    re-enable the interrupt
    using 'scheduler'
        select a foreground function
        trigger dispatch for selected foreground function
    return from interrupt

background processing

(this can be, and often is implemented as a 'state' machine rather than a loop)
    loop:
        if status info indicates need to call second level function 1
            second level function 1, which updates status info
        if status info indicates need to call second level function 2
            second level function 2, which updates status info
        etc
    end loop:

Note that, as much as possible, there is no 'third level function x'
Note that, the foreground functions must complete before they are again scheduled.
Note: there are lots of other details that I have omitted in the above, like
kicking the watchdog,
the other interrupt events,
'critical' code sections and use of mutex(),
considerations between 'soft real-time' and 'hard real-time',
context switching
continuous BIT, commanded BIT, and error handling
etc

Q: how to export a constant which is inside a function? - ReactJS In a file called File_A.js I have a function that contains a constant. I want to export this const, and only this one (not the whole function) in order to use the constant's value in another file called File_B.js. I tried to use module.exports but it returns that the variable is undefined. Below a simplified example. Thanks

// my function in File_A.js
const MyFunctionA = () => {

  const myVariable = 'hello'
  module.export = {myVariable: myVariable}

  return (
  /*...*/
  );
}

// my second function in File_B.js
const MyFunctionB = () => {

  const {myVariable} = require('./File_A.js');
  console.log(myVariable) // undefined

  return(
  /*...*/
  );
}

A:
how to export a constant which is inside a function?

There are two answers to this:

*

*You don't. It doesn't make sense. Instead, you move the constant out of the function and export it.

*You do it exactly as you have done, but the constant won't be in the module's exports until MyFunctionA has been executed at least once. This is possible because the CommonJS-style modules that you're using are dynamic and can change at runtime. However, making your exports dependent on a function call is asking for trouble, as you've discovered.
So taking #1 on board, we get:
// my function in File_A.js
const myVariable = "hello"; // Odd name for a constant? ;-)
module.exports.myVariable = myVariable;
const MyFunctionA = () => {
    return (
        /*...*/
    );
};

A couple of notes on that:

*

*MyFunctionA still closes over the constant and references it exactly the way it used to.

*myVariable doesn't become a global, because the top-level scope of a CommonJS module isn't global scope.

Trelon Reykill thought he had his hands full. A militant group of Curizans had captured his brother Zoran, he was busy trying to fortify the Valdire defenses against the Sarafin Warriors, and his dragon was roaring for him to find a mate. He was furious about the first, excited about the second, and pissed about the last. The last thing he expects to find on the primitive planet his brother has taken refuge on is his true mate.
Now, he has a whole new set of problems…capturing Cara long enough to make her his. His symbiosis loves her, his dragon wants her, and he can't catch her. On top of all that, someone is trying to kill her.
His solution: Capture Cara and love her so well she will never want to escape him -if he can.
Please be advised this book contains graphic content.
Book one intrigued me but book two I couldn't drop Cara story was fun! Now I want to know Trisha's story!
And my expectations were pretty high. I will not share too much of the story, but will say it's better, much better, than Abducting Abby. I find that all the characters are so well developed. I did figure out who the villain was early on, but it took nothing away from the story for me. Cara and Trelon are amazing together. You will laugh, as Cara has proven she will not be held captive by anyone. Very strong females in this series. I love it. On to Trisha. Enjoy!

In 2014, Our Kids launched the Mostar Summer Youth Programme (MSYP) - a unique two-week long non-residential summer school that seeks to provide youth aged 14-18 from Mostar and the surrounding area with opportunities to improve their English language skills. It also aims to empower participants in their educational and professional ambitions, by connecting them with organisations and businesses working in and around Mostar.
MSYP creates a unique and friendly environment in which young people from the Mostar area can enjoy integrated educational and social experiences. The programme aspires to have a long-term impact by demonstrating a successful, alternative model of education to young people; one based on multiculturalism, creativity, discussion, debate, and critical thinking. MSYP consists of a taught programme of English language courses and a variety of other discussion-based courses covering a wide spectrum of subject areas and academic disciplines. In 2014, these included Debate, International Relations, Entrepreneurship, Sustainable Tourism and Urban Development, Creative Language and Idioms, Public Speaking, Social Media and Event Planning. All courses are organised and run by a group of international and local volunteers.
We are aiming to grow the impact of the program in 2015 and to this end we have initiated a crowdfunding campaign.
All donations are gratefully received. Please share the link with your friends and colleagues.
The program was extremely well received in 2014 and with your help we can make it even better next year.


The item Distress signals, Catherine Ryan Howard represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Randwick City Library.
There's no evidence of a murder, but a person is missing. And what's a missing person minus a body? Not a murder. Oh, no. Never a murder. It's a disappearance. The day Adam Dunne's girlfriend, Sarah, fails to return from a Barcelona business trip, his perfect life begins to fall apart. Days later, the arrival of her passport and a note that reads 'I'm sorry - S' sets off real alarm bells. He vows to do whatever it takes to find her. Adam is puzzled when he connects Sarah to a cruise ship called the Celebrate - and to a woman, Estelle, who disappeared from the same ship in eerily similar circumstances almost exactly a year before. To get the answers, Adam must confront some difficult truths about his relationship with Sarah. He must do things of which he never thought himself capable. And he must try to outwit a predator who seems to have found the perfect hunting ground..

The first violation involved the Texas A&M NSC staff's failure to maintain complete and accurate records in all material respects. Specifically, on or after May 15, 2013, the reactor operations manager deliberately falsified the May 14, 2013, reactor operations log shutdown checklist required by Technical Specification 6.3 when he certified that the shutdown procedures were performed when in fact they had not been performed. The shutdown checklist is a safety record that the licensee is required to maintain for inspection by the NRC staff and the completeness and accuracy of this safety information is material to the NRC inspection process. The second violation involved the failure of Texas A&M NSC to maintain the minimum facility staffing required by Technical Specification 6.1.3 when the reactor was not secured as defined by Technical Specifications 1.23 and 1.26. Technical Specification 6.1.3, "Staffing," requires at least two individuals, a senior reactor operator and either a licensed reactor operator or operator trainee, be on duty when the reactor is not secured. Specifically, on the evening of May 14, 2013, the senior reactor operator and reactor operator left the facility complex unattended. The reactor was not secured on the night of May 14-15, 2013, in that the reactor contained sufficient fissile material to attain criticality under optimum conditions and the reactor console was not secured because not all scrammable rods were fully inserted and verified down.

During the time frame specified in the licensee's Emergency Plan, approximately 50 percent of the ERO, including key responders, did not receive the required annual radiological response classroom retraining necessary to maintain familiarity with their specific emergency response duties. This resulted in some key ERO positions not being filled by qualified ERO members in accordance with the licensee's Emergency Plan requirements. The violation cited the licensee's failure to provide the required radiological emergency response training to those who may be called on to assist in an emergency.
(White) 07/05/2001 On July 5, 2001, a Notice of Violation was issued for a violation associated with a White SDP finding involving the motor driven emergency feedwater (EFW) pump. The violation was based on the licensee's failure to promptly identify and correct a significant condition adverse to quality that resulted in the "A" motor driven EFW pump being inoperable for longer than the technical specification allowed outage time.

Turkey Point 3 NOV
$70,000 06/21/2010 On June 21, 2010, the NRC issued a White finding with two associated violations to Florida Power and Light Company (FP&L) as a result of inspections at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Unit 3. This White finding involves the licensee's failure to adequately address degradation of Boraflex, a fixed neutron absorber material used in the Turkey Point Unit 3 spent fuel pool. Boraflex degradation resulted in a reduction in the Boron-10 areal density of the spent fuel storage racks such that, when considering the biases and uncertainties identified in Chapter 9 of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, the effective neutron multiplication factor would not have been maintained less than 1.0 if the spent fuel pool had been flooded with unborated water. The NRC identified that FP&L had violated 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," which requires that conditions adverse to quality be promptly identified and corrected, and Technical Specification 5.5.1.1.a, which requires that the spent fuel storage racks be maintained with an effective neutron multiplication factor less than 1.0 if flooded with unborated water, when considering the biases and uncertainties described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. The NRC also issued FP&L a Severity Level III Notice of Violation with a proposed $70,000 civil penalty for failure to comply with 10 CFR 50.73, which requires, in part, that licensees report any condition prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications. As discussed, Boraflex degradation led to a condition prohibited by Turkey Point Unit 3 Technical Specifications, but this condition was not reported to the NRC as required by 10 CFR 50.73.

(White) 11/22/2006 On November 22, 2006, a Notice of Violation was issued for a violation associated with a WHITE significance determination process finding involving the failure to adequately assess and manage the increase in risk of performing maintenance on the A-train 480-volt 3C load center while the facility was operating in decay heat removal mode with one operating A-train residual heat removal (RHR) pump. The violation was cited against 10 CFR Part 50.65(a)(4) for failure to adequately assess and manage the increase in risk before performing maintenance on the A-train 480-volt 3C load center.
(White) 04/17/2006 On April 17, 2006, a Notice of Violation was issued for a violation associated with a White SDP finding involving the licensee's failure to restore the B auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump to operable status within 30 days, to place the unit in at least Hot Standby during this time, and to identify and correct the condition adverse to quality even though pump bearing vibration levels and oil samples provided indication of the adverse condition. In this case, the B AFW pump was placed in service on September 10, 2003, in an inoperable condition due to a misaligned radial bearing, and the inoperable condition was not identified until November 7, 2005. The Notice of Violation cited the licensee's failure to implement the requirements in Technical Specification 3.7.1.2 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI.
(SL III) 06/06/03 On June 5, 2003, a Notice of Violation was issued for a Severity Level III violation for discriminating against an employee at the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant for engaging in protected activity.

The $32.81 million figure is based only on YouTube advertising income. In reality, Flow La Movie's net worth is likely to be much higher. When all sources of income are considered, Flow La Movie's net worth may be as high as $45.93 million.
Flow La Movie is anticipated to make $8.2 million each year.
The Youtube channel of Flow La Movie got 136.7 million views per month and about 4.56 million views per day in the month of November.
Monetized YouTube channels generate money by displaying advertisements. YouTube channels make between $3 and $7 per thousand video views on average. Based on this information, the networthspot estimates that the Flow La Movie YouTube channel produces $546.79 thousand in ad income per month and $8.2 million per year.

'Lower-for-longer rates' to take bite out of Challenger profits
By Stephen Miles
Challenger's forecast profit slide in the face of a "lower-for-longer" interest-rate environment spooked investors, sending the annuities provider's shares sliding almost 9 per cent.
The financial services firm confirmed analysts' consensus expectations near the bottom end of previous guidance for fiscal 2019, with profit before tax estimated to come in at between $545 million and $565 million.
Richard Howes, chief executive of Challenger, told those at its investor day that there were still plenty of "long-term structural tailwinds" for the company. Credit:James Brickwood
However, it was predictions of lower asset yields and shareholder capital returns in 2020 that spooked the market, sending the shares skidding as much as 12 per cent intraday. They ended the trading session down 66 cents, or 8.6 per cent, at $6.98.
The investment manager lowered its guidance for 2020 profit to $500 million to $550 million, blaming lower capital growth on equities, distribution, product and marketing (DPM) initiatives and lower interest rates on shareholder capital.
The consensus expectations of analysts for 2020 profit had previously been as high as $566 million.
Challenger chief executive Richard Howes said it was "a solid profit outlook considering the challenging operating environment".
However, IFM Investors equities analyst Reuben De Barros said the company's maiden guidance for 2020 was more than 7 per cent below consensus.
He said the prospect of "lower-for-longer" rates means Challenger would earn less on its shareholder capital.
"It may be forced to lower annuity rates offered to maintain margins, which could impact sales as the relative attractiveness of annuities diminishes," he said.
Morningstar analyst Chanaka Gunasekera said the 2020 numbers surprised on the downside.
"I was forecasting profit of $550 million in 2020 – at the top of the guidance Challenger provided today – but I did not account for the company's new equities normalised growth guidance, which would reduce earnings by $23 million in fiscal 2020," he said.
He said new sales initiatives "are likely to be one-off" but would still increase Challenger's costs by $15 million.
Macquarie analysts said in a note the reduction in capital growth assumptions in equities and additional DPM costs were "key drivers of the downgrade" for 2020 profit.
An increased expected tax rate of two percentage points – due to higher exposure to Australian earnings – could drive "a further 2 per cent to 3 per cent" consensus profit downgrade, they said.
Challenger's pre-tax return on equity (ROI) target was revised downward to 14 per cent plus the cash interest rate, from 18 per cent, on the diminishing rate environment. That move was widely expected by the market.
However, Morningstar's Mr Gunasekera said the new ROI number was at risk of a further downgrade, as lower rates impacted on asset yields and shareholder capital returns.
"The market is expecting at least one further 25 basis point cut in official interest rates," he said.
"So, it is more likely Challenger will eventually have a 15 per cent – or lower – pre-tax return on equity," he said.
Challenger's Mr Howes said there were still plenty of "long-term structural tailwinds" for the company, including world-class accumulation superannuation system and ageing demographics.
"We have a world-class accumulation system that is growing strongly, with around 700 Australians retiring each day," Mr Howes said.
"Retirees now hold almost one quarter of all superannuation savings, which amounts to around $800 billion.
"We are seeing good opportunities across all asset classes, and expect no significant change to asset class allocations in FY20," he said.
