Novel pathway to support research for targeted treatments of cavities
By: Huan Song
Human teeth are home to many different types of bacteria. This diverse oral microbiome ranges from microbes that are benign or even beneficial to those that can do some serious damage to our teeth. Tooth decay, also known as cavities in the U.S., is the most common human disease in the world, caused by a bacterial infection. Oral bacteria ferment sugars in the mouth, proliferate, and secrete excessive acid which leads to a breakdown of enamel and demineralization of the tooth structure.

Two bacteria have been linked to the initiation of dental caries or tooth decay: Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. Between these two bacteria, S. mutans has been extensively studied while relatively little is known about S. sobrinus. An Illinois research team led by bioengineering professor Paul Jensen (MMG) has discovered a quorum-sensing pathway in S. sobrinus, which controls its natural competence and enables scientists to manipulate the S. sobrinus genome. This research was published in the Journal of Dental Research.
S. mutans is more commonly found on both healthy and decayed teeth, whereas S. sobrinus is less prevalent and more exclusively found in patients with dental caries - and especially in more serious cases of tooth decay and in children.
"The three key properties for caries-linked microbes are the ability to produce acid, the ability to tolerate acid, and the ability to colonize the tooth surface," said Walden Li, a bioengineering Ph.D. candidate and a co-author of this paper. He noted earlier studies indicating that S. sobrinus is stronger in such abilities than S. mutans.
Regarding this research, Li said, "while we know S. sobrinus has strong capacities to cause tooth decay, we don't know the genetic mechanisms that enable it to do so."
Current microbial control for dental caries uses mostly wide-spectrum treatments that indistinguishably kill good and bad bacteria in the mouth, potentially disrupting a healthy oral microbiome. A more effective way of controlling dental caries would be to understand the genetic mechanisms of S. sobrinus and leverage this knowledge to develop targeted treatments.
According to Jensen, S. sobrinus has been understudied because most researchers believed that S. sobrinus lacks the competence pathways to regulate growth, virulence, bacteriocin production and quorum sensing, even though most streptococcal bacteria are naturally competent. Competence is the capacity of a bacteria to uptake foreign DNA and undergo genetic transformation. This is a decades long-unsolved challenge for the dental research field. "Deep down, I never believed that S. sobrinus was not genetically competent. It didn't make sense to me," said Jensen.
The Jensen lab has been working to understand the S. sobrinus competence system for the past few years and has tried many different methods to transform S. sobrinus. Lab members also laid the foundation for S. sobrinus research by becoming the first group of researchers to successfully sequence the complete genome of S. sobrinus in 2018 and defining the workflow for this bacteria. Ryan Wyllie, who is a bioengineering Ph.D. candidate in the Jensen lab and a co-author of this paper refers to this project as Moby Dick to Jensen's Captain Ahab.
The name "sobrinus" is significant because it means "cousin" in Latin. It was originally described as a subspecies, a "cousin", of S. mutans but was recognized as a separate species in 1983. To this day they are still referred to together as the "mutans streptococci". "People have always looked for similarities in S. sobrinus based on S. mutans but they may have been misguided by the name," said Li.
Wyllie found a promoter sequence in S. sobrinus similar to the salivarius group of streptococcal bacteria. With this clue, the team uncovered the ComRS pathway for S. sobrinus based on S. salivarius instead of S. mutans. Their findings challenged the assumption of the relationship between S. sobrinus and S. mutans. S. sobrinus' ComRS system has two comR genes with opposite effects on its competence and this is the first time that researchers have seen two comR genes in one bacterium. Furthermore, S. sobrinus has ComRS-controlled bacteriocins that kill S. mutans and other oral bacteria, an astounding finding to the team since it was presumed that the bacteria work together during infection.
Before this study, all ComRS systems could be classified into three classes based on their sequences of XIP, or the seven amino acid pheromone that turns the system on; all previously-known XIPs also have two aromatic amino acids. The S. sobrinus XIP defines a new, fourth class, of ComRS system with no aromatic amino acids. This new class turns out to be widespread in other streptococcal bacteria.
"It's been very exciting for our lab," said Wyllie. This project involved many lab technicians and students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. "I still remember the moment when I saw the blue colonies on the plate which means that we transformed S. sobrinus for the first time," said Li. This study opens the doors for future functional genetics studies into S. sobrinus and to how its molecular pathogenesis works.
"I guarantee that this is not the last interesting bacterium to be found in the oral microbiome," said Jensen, whose lab centers on systems biology, "and we need to scale up how we can study them all in the future."

If it has been a while since you've been to the Bowery, you are in for a surprise. The gentrification that started with hot spots like B Bar is starting to speed up. The latest example: Bop.
Although Pan-Asian cooking seems to be everywhere, Bop is something different. It is the first serious attempt to serve an entirely Korean menu to a mainstream audience. The restaurant had a brief test run in a tiny spot on Prince Street, but now it has much more space.
The beautiful waitresses who flit through the dark, spare rooms are dressed in long, flashy black skirts and look as if they had just walked off a runway. Customers huddle at the bar drinking sake or climb the stairs to the dining room, which is perfumed with chilies and garlic.
The menu pulls few punches. The restaurant takes its name from the classic Korean dish, bibimbap, rice mixed with meat and vegetables and kochujang, the garlicky chili paste that is Korea's ubiquitous condiment. Kochujang is to Korea what soy sauce is to Japan or ketchup is to our culture.
And there is, of course, kalbi, the appealing marinated short ribs, and spicy soups and stews.
But while the menu will be familiar to anyone who knows Korean cooking, one detail stands out. Among the many pleasures of Korean restaurants are the panchan, little side dishes like marinated watercress and tiny cured fish and chili-drenched turnips that are served, free, with each meal. At Bop, the panchan are called appetizers, and you have to pay for them. And while the restaurant does offer free kimchi, if you want extra you'll have to pay for it.
Bop, 325 Bowery, at Second Street, Lower East Side, (212) 254-7887. Entrees, $9.50 to $18.95.

Parliament-Bashing Banksy Sets Record at $89.5 M. Sotheby's Contemporary Art Sale in London
October 3, 2019 by Judd Tully
Banksy, Devolved Parliament, 2009, sold for £9.88 million, or about $12.2 million at Sotheby's London, smashing the artist's auction record. COURTESY SOTHEBY'S
Two figures who began as obscure street artists before rocketing to fame, one from Brooklyn and one from Bristol, dominated Sotheby's otherwise unremarkable contemporary art evening sale in London on Thursday night that tallied £54.7 million (about $67.3 million).
Five of the 39 lots offered failed to sell for a slim buy-in rate of 12.8 percent. The tally came close to the high end of pre-sale expectations pegged at £40.4 million to £56 million ($49.6 million to £68.9 million). The result trailed last October's £68.7 million ($89.5 million total) haul at the same sale, which saw 56 lots find buyers.
(All prices quoted include the buyer's premium for each lot sold, calculated at 25 percent of the hammer up to and including £300,000; 20 percent of any amount above that, up to and including £3 million; and 13.9 percent on anything above. Estimates do not reflect the buyer's premium. The hammer tally for the evening was £45.8 million, or $56.3 million.)
Fifteen works sold for over £1 million, and 16 made over $1 million. Three artist records were set, including for Banksy—the only truly big news of the night—whose painting of a chimpanzee-filled House of Commons generated a bidding frenzy.
Ten lots were backed by pre-sale guarantees, either by so-called irrevocable bids or in combination with house backing.
Lucio Fontana's Concetto spaziale, Natura, 1959-60 sold for $3.1 million at Sotheby's London. COURTESY SOTHEBY'S
The evening got off to an auspicious start with Nicole Eisenman's richly detailed bedroom scene, Close to the Edge (2015). It raced to a record £639,000 ($785,395), trouncing its £180,000 high estimate as it sold to Alex Acquavella of New York's Acquavella Galleries. It was the artist's first appearance in a Sotheby's evening sale. London and New York dealer Per Skarstedt was the underbidder.
A fresh-to-market, boldly colored 2000 Albert Oehlen painting, part-abstract and part-figurative, Ingwertopf (Ginger Pot), sold to a telephone bidder for £915,000 ($1.12 million) on an estimate of £800,000 to £1.2 million. Measuring about 75 by 63 inches, it was backed by a third-party irrevocable bid and attracted a single bid from that anonymous backer.
Oehlen is also the subject of an exhibition at the Serpentine Galleries in London that opened earlier this week, as well as a solo at Galerie Max Hetzler's outpost here—and he's in a group show at Lévy Gorvy.
A second Oehlen, considerably larger at about 110 by 134 inches and dating from 2003, Geigenbau (Lutherie), realized £1.82 million ($2.23 million) against an estimate of £1.5 million to £2 million. Oehlen has described the style of the series that incorporates the work—in a cryptic, tongue-in cheek-way—as "post-non-representational painting." It also came to market backed by an irrevocable bid.
The auction was neatly packed with a number of postwar Italian works, including Lucio Fontana's iconic bronze sphere marked with a jagged cleft, Concetto spaziale, Natura (1959–60), which sold to another telephone bidder for £2.54 million ($3.12 million), just above its £2 million-to-£3 million estimate. It was backed by an irrevocable bid and last sold at Sotheby's London in October 2004 for £655,200 ($1.18 million), making a nice return for its seller.
Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1984 Pyro sold for $12.2 million at Sotheby's London. COURTESY SOTHEBY'S
In that same Italian vein, Salvatore Scarpitta's Housing Developed (1960), impressively executed in tightly wrapped bandages and mixed media on canvas, sold to another telephone bidder for a record £2.54 million ($3.12 million); its estimate was £1.5 million to £2 million. London and Milan dealer Marco Voena was the underbidder. It last sold at Sotheby's London in October 2005 for £114,000 ($201,887), and this time it arrived on the block with a third-party guarantee.
Rounding out the Italian offerings, Alberto Burri's fire-engine red and partially melted Rosso Plastica (1963), in plastic, acrylic, and combustion on canvas, sold to a telephone bidder for £2.06 million ($2.53 million) versus an estimate of £1.4 million to £1.8 million. Brussels dealer Mimo Vedovi was the underbidder.
Piero Manzoni's beautifully pleated abstraction Achrome, a creased canvas and kaolin from circa 1959, was withdrawn from the sale at the 11th hour, and its £4 million-to-£6 million estimate was scratched from the ledger. (It last sold at Sotheby's London in June 2007 for £453,000, or $824,727).
In the thin realm of bigger-ticket items, the cover lot Jean-Michel Basquiat painting, Pyro (1984), trophy scaled at 86 ¼ by 68 inches and exceptionally frenetic with the artist's texts and images, sold to another anonymous telephone bidder for £9.88 million ($12.2 million); its unpublished estimate was in the region of £9 million. The centerpiece of the painting is a figure with bared teeth and upraised purple-shaded arms. It last sold at auction at Sotheby's London in October 1996 for £221,500 ($352,594), proving Warren Buffet's investment maxim of "buy and hold."
A second Basquiat, Natives Carrying Things (1983), larger scaled at 7 feet square, is almost Minimal in appearance, with its two figures holding boxes that are labeled as "FOOD" and "SALT"; it brought £3.26 million ($4 million); its estimate was £2.5 million–£3 million.
It last sold at Sotheby's New York in November 1995 for $43,125.
Yes, those were the days.
Entries from the British Isles were relatively thin, though Irish-born Francis Bacon's early and mysteriously disturbing Figure with Monkey (1951), featuring a dark-haired man reaching into a monkey's cage sold to Wentworth Beaumont of the London art advisory firm Beaumont Nathan for £2.78 million ($3.41 million); it had been estimated at £1.8 million to £2.5 million. The picture was first exhibited at the Hanover Gallery in London during Bacon's solo show there in 1951, and last sold at Sotheby's London in February 2012 for £1.83 million ($2.88 million).
Continuing the Brit brigade, Damien Hirst's early "Spot" painting, Notechis Ater Serventyi (1999), in household gloss paint on canvas and measuring 34 by 74 inches, went to another telephone bidder for £422,503 ($387,166); its estimate was £300,000–£400,000. New York dealer Jose Mugrabi was the underbidder.
In a surprising development (or so it seemed, given his market might), David Hockney's charming Bridlington Studio Interior (1996), of his Yorkshire Coast studio, was bought-in at a chandelier-bid £600,000—far below its £900,000 low estimate.
Francis Bacon's 1951 Figure with Monkey sold for $3.4 million at Sotheby's London. COURTESY SOTHEBY'S
The evening would have been a respectful and low-key replay of most mid-season London sales apart from the appearance of one massive painting by the preeminent trickster Banksy, Devolved Parliament (2009), which is museum scaled at 108 5/8 by 175 ½ inches and features some 100 chimpanzees hard at work cavorting in the House of Commons. Executed in the style of a rather stuffy, 19th-century history painting, it perfectly echoes or critiques the current state of political affairs in Britain as the nation stumbles along into the unknown territory of a no-deal Brexit at the end of the month.
Sotheby's went to extraordinary lengths marketing the picture, installing it in a separate room for the preview, complete with a metal detector entryway, security guards, and a pair of long benches fabricated to resemble those in the House of Commons.
Much has been said and reported on how much the painting has been altered since its birth in 2009. It was bought by tonight's seller in 2011, and was displayed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in 2009 and earlier this year.
"Banksy took it back from the owner," said Oliver Barker, senior director and chairman of Sotheby's Europe in a post-sale comment to several reporters, "and he made the chamber darker and changed the overhead lights. Artists have been doing that kind of thing for hundreds of years."
Bearing a Pest Control certificate of authenticity (the official Banksy registry), the painting sparked riotous waves of bidding both in the salesroom and on the banks of telephones during a 13-minute battle, escalating the final price to a jaw-dropping and record-breaking £9.88 million ($12.2 million), on an estimate of £1.5 million to £2 million.
Yes, it made the identical price as the Basquiat, a feat almost too ridiculous to believe.
It easily swamped Banksy's previous mark, set at Sotheby's New York in February 2008, when the one-year-old Keep It Spotless made $1.87 million.
It also rocketed past Love Is in the Bin, formerly known as Girl with Balloon (2006), which sold here last October for £1.04 million ($1.37 million). That work was infamously booby-trapped with a compact shredder installed on the backside of the painting that partially shredded the work, thanks to a remote-control gizmo triggered in the salesroom by a Banksy accomplice.
Though tonight's Banksy sold to a telephone bidder that Sotheby's declined to identify in any way, the determined-though-unsuccessful underbidder was in the salesroom, a mobile phone glued to his ear, and he waved his paddle like mad to gain auctioneer Oliver Barker's attention.
The 30-something bidder, neatly dressed in a white shirt and red pocket square in his sport jacket, departed the room, and though he declined to give his name, told this reporter in excellent English, "I'm an art collector from Prague, and I'm definitely a Banksy admirer."
Asked who was on the other end of his call, the bidder said, "He's my partner and I prefer to remain anonymous."
After the sale, workmen could be observed dismantling the metal detector that screened visitors during the preview. Still and all, the Banksy phenomenon provided some needed fireworks for an otherwise ho-hum evening.
Don't be surprised if the painting appears in public again on October 31, Britain's deadline for Brexit.

IAS 38 says that subsequent expenditures on licences should be expensed and should not be capitalised.
However, if a company buys a licence for a period of say 5 years, it will be completely amortised by the end of 5 years using straight line method having no residual value. If the company renews the licences subsequently, then as per IAS 38 they cannot capitalise the subsequent expenditure on the licence.
My question is, if every thing is done as mentioned above, the company's intangible assets register will not show the licence as it is previously amortised, but the company is having the benefits after subsequent expenditure. Does it make sense?
The renewal cost should be capitalised under IAS 38 as it will be treated as initial cost of asset, therefore should be amortised according to the new useful life of the new license.
those incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it."
So I have a different opinion if you say the subsequent expenditure can´t be capitalized.
If the renewal of the licences meets the requirements of recognization i.e. future benefit and the cost is reasonable measureable, you should also capitalized the renewed licences as "intangible asset" for the new term.
When a licence is amortised and subsequently renewed, take value less accumulated amortisation and add to expense of renewing licance and amortise over new effective life.
This is a bit like revaluation of Non Current Asset. NCA are depreciated over useful life. When it has permanenant additions, like making 2 extra rooms on a floor of the office building, add cost to the net book value and depreciate the new value over expected useful lfe.

Q: how to convert xsl dateformat? How to convert

01/29/2012 00:00

to

Monday, Jan 29, 2012

in xslt?

A: I. An XSLT 1.0 solution (not producing the day of the week), which is much simpler and shorter than other answers :
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:my="my:my">
 <xsl:output method="text"/>

 <my:months>
  <m>Jan</m><m>Feb</m><m>Mar</m><m>Apr</m><m>May</m><m>Jun</m>
  <m>Jul</m><m>Aug</m><m>Sep</m><m>Oct</m><m>Nov</m><m>Dec</m>
 </my:months>

 <xsl:variable name="vMonthNames" select=
 "document('')/*/my:months/*"/>

 <xsl:template match="text()">
     <xsl:variable name="vnumMonth" select="substring-before(., '/')"/>

     <xsl:variable name="vDay" select=
     "substring-before(substring-after(., '/'), '/')"/>

     <xsl:variable name="vYear" select=
     "substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(., '/'), '/'), ' ')"/>

     <xsl:value-of select=
      "concat($vMonthNames[0+$vnumMonth], ' ',
              $vDay, ', ',
              $vYear
              )"/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on the following XML document:
<t>01/29/2012 00:00</t>

the wanted result is produced:
Jan 29, 2012

II.In XSLT 2.0 one can use very powerful date-time functions, such as format-dateTime().
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

 <xsl:template match="text()">
     <xsl:variable name="vComps" select=
      "tokenize(., '/')"/>

    <xsl:variable name="vstdDate" select=
     "concat(substring-before($vComps[3], ' '), '-',
             $vComps[1], '-',
             $vComps[2]
          )"/>

  <xsl:sequence select=
      "format-date(xs:date($vstdDate), '[FNn], [MNn] [D], [Y]')"/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on the same XML document (above), the wanted, correct result is produced:
Sunday, January 29, 2012

A: Source : http://geekswithblogs.net/workdog/archive/2007/02/08/105858.aspx#110623
" I've modified to convert "1/20/2007 10:22:28 PM" to "January 20, 2007" ... to save anyone who finds it useful a few minutes.
<xsl:template name="FormatDate">
<!-- expected date format 1/20/2007 10:22:28 PM [OR] 01/20/2007 10:22:28 PM -->
<xsl:param name="DateTime" />
<!-- new date format January 20, 2007 -->
<xsl:variable name="mo">

<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($DateTime,'/')" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="day">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($day-temp,'/')" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="year-temp">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($day-temp,'/')" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="year">
<xsl:value-of select="substring($year-temp,1,4)" />
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '1' or $mo = '01'">January</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '2' or $mo = '02'">February</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '3' or $mo = '03'">March</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '4' or $mo = '04'">April</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '5' or $mo = '05'">May</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '6' or $mo = '06'">June</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '7' or $mo = '07'">July</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '8' or $mo = '08'">August</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '9' or $mo = '09'">September</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '10'">October</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '11'">November</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$mo = '12'">December</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="' '"/>
<xsl:if test="(string-length($day) < 2)">
<xsl:value-of select="0"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="$day"/>
<xsl:value-of select="', '"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$year"/>
</xsl:template>

"

A: Apologies for this horribly complicated solution, but it'll give you exactly what you want in XSLT 1.0:
<xsl:variable name="months" select="'JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctDec'" />
<xsl:variable name="weekdays"  select="'Monday   Tuesday  WednesdayThursday Friday   Saturday Sunday   '" />

<xsl:template match="date">
  <xsl:variable name="days">
    <xsl:value-of select="
      ((substring(.,7,4) - 1970) * 365)+floor((substring(.,7,4) - 1970) div 4)+
      substring('000,031,059,090,120,151,181,212,243,273,304,334,365',substring(.,1,2)*4-3,3)+
      (substring(.,4,2)-1)+
      (1-floor(((substring(.,7,4) mod 4) + 2) div 3))*floor((substring(.,1,2)+17) div 20)
    " />
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:value-of select="concat(
    normalize-space(substring($weekdays,(($days+3) mod 7) * 9 + 1, 9)),
    ', ',
    substring($months,substring(.,1,2) * 3 - 2, 3),
    ' ',
    substring(.,4,2) + 0,
    ', ',
    substring(.,7,4)
   )" />
</xsl:template>

The construction of the variable 'days' uses a fairly complicated formula that determines the number of days since 1/1/1970. It's a simple matter from there to add 3 (because 1/1/1970 was a Thursday) and take the mod 7 of this figure to get the day of the week from the weekdays variable with substr.
If you're going to be working with dates a lot though, get XSLT2!

The Research Centre on Aging (CDRV) is home to approximatively fifty researchers who work in a variety of scientific disciplines. The Centre also has around twenty associate researchers and over one hundred people who are committed to research in one form or another. The CDRV is one of the most important centres on aging in Canada.
Work conducted at the CDRV can help us all - young and seniors alike – lead more active life and to adopt healthier lifestyles with a view to successful aging. The CDRV supports social initiatives at large to offer the best response to the needs of seniors and to offer them better services.
Research areas are very concrete :
Nutrition and senior autonomy;
Cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases (i.e. Alzheimer's), cancer, endocrine dysfunctions (i.e. diabetes);
Processes and effects of sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass)
Home support in the context of an aging population;
Fall prevention;
Social and psychological vulnerability among seniors;
Telehealh, telerehabilitation and telemonitoring;
Driving and road safety;
Study of the biological mechanisms of aging and associated pathologies;
Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life of seniors and to help us make the right decisions throughout our lives so that we can age well in a healthy, autonomous manner.
Please do not hesitate to contact us.
Aging is a matter for all ages.
The CIUSSSS de l'Estrie - CHUS and Us
Since its foundation in 1988, the Research Centre on Aging has been pursuing its mission first under the Health and Social Services Centre – University Institute of Geriatrics of Sherbrooke (CSSS-IUGS), then under the CIUSSS de l'Estrie - CHUS.

Q: What directories should be included to MANUALLY compile source with cl.exe on Windows? How can I set up -I cl.exe arguments in order to make my primitive .cpp file to compile? I want this to be done neither with calling Developer Command Prompt nor with vsvars32.bat file or any other .bat file which will set up all environment variables for me.
I need to know what paths to point in my -I options.
My .cpp file does not contain something special. It depends only on usual STL/system files. Here is what is included.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <vector>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <algorithm>
#include <memory.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <cassert>

A: To make the long story short here is my command for cmd.exe. Note I didn't run any .bat files to setup any variables.
cl.exe -I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\INCLUDE"
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE"
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.10150.0\ucrt"
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\LIB"
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\ATLMFC\LIB"
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\lib\10.0.10150.0\ucrt\x86"
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.6\lib\um\x86"
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\lib\winv6.3\um\x86"
A.cpp /EHsc
/link /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\lib"
/LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\atlmfc\lib"

/LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\lib\winv6.3\um\x86"

I followed Hans Passant advice to look in Visual Studio VC++ Directories. Project > Properties > VC++ Directories > Include Directories setting. Alternatively one can run vcvars32.bat and then echo %INCLUDE% and %LIB% environment variables.
Include directories for cl.exe:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\atlmfc\include
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10150.0\ucrt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\winrt

Library directories for linker:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\atlmfc\lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\lib\10.0.10150.0\ucrt\x86
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\lib\winv6.3\um\x86
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.6\Lib\um\x86

As you can see I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and that are the things for my case.

A red day
I finally had time to catch Thursday's Congressional hearing, held by the Progressive Caucus, and featuring Iraq Veterans Against the War as witnesses sharing testimonies similar to what they offered during March's Winter Soldier Investigation. I was enjoying Adam Kokesh's response to questions:
And if I may just comment on your earlier remarks about the veterans' issues, when the military is struggling so desperately as it is now to meet manpower requirements and threatening members with stop-loss, over 120,000 now and untold more with involuntary extension, it is in the interest of those who wish this occupation to continue to make life difficult for veterans. Because they want to make people think when they get out of the military, they will be taken care of, and they want to do everything in their power to increase the dependcy that service members have on the military
I was thinking about those statements when Katrina vanden Heuvel and Betsy Reed busted into my apartment. Chunky, clunky Cathy Pollitt slinked in after them, head bowed, looking sheepish.
"How dare you read my book!" snapped Katty-van-van, dressed all in black because she thought it was slimming even though it made her look like someone in need of a house landing on them. Of course that crooked nose of her's didn't help.
Betsy Wetsy Reed was in red, naturally, and she was sputtering too, talk of Barry Obama's 'phallus' and how the 'phallus' must be worshipped and "embraced" and "stroked" and "caressed" and "must rule!"
These women were kooks. At least Cathy kept her mouth occupied with Ho-Hos and didn't contribute to the 'conversation.'
"Look, you little frauds," I told them, "I didn't invite you in. Take your politically closeted ass out of here. Katty-van-van, go serve on your board that used to orchestrate Bam-Bam mania. Maybe, like your hero, you can make passes at women."
"My Lord and Savior Barack Obama only called women 'sweetie'!" insisted Katty-van-van. "He did not make passes!"
"I was referring to Mrs. FDR, the closet lesbian that you oh-so-love. Or are you the only one in the world who doesn't know about the mash notes she wrote Katharine Hepburn?"
"How dare you!" cried Katty-van-van.
"Let me tell you how it's going to be," said a menacing Betsy Wetsy. "The Black man is rising and with him the Communist Party! You will not use your racism to take him down!"
"Racism?" I laughed. "Unlike you white, wealthy women, I'm a Black woman. Barack's nothing but a bi-racial tool you closeted Communists have latched on to in your efforts to control the Democratic Party."
"You're Black?" asked Betsy Wright in shock.
It figures. They're so White, they couldn't recognize a real Black American if their lives depended on it. No doubt explaining why they offer the 'African-American' Gary Younge who is neither African nor American, just another slimey transplant from England because God forbid the Red Channels allow any real Black American to have a voice in their propaganda mill.
"You are oppresed, brother, rise up!" cried Betsy Wright.
"I ain't your brother," I told the kook.
"We are all brothers in arms! Awake and Sing! Now is the time for all good men to come to the call of The Party."
Betsy Reed really was a piece of work, an ugly piece of work. Suddenly I began to understand all of Eric Alterman's problems with "The Nation." Say what you will about him, but he was a true-blue Democrat and it must be very frustrating for him to be surrounded by Communists pretending to be Democrats.
"Listen bitch," said 'feminist' Katty-van-van, "you leave Barry alone. He is the hope for our party, we have waited in the years for this day where we could take over the Democratic Party and this is our time!"
Our time? His time? They never could get their stories straight. They were like Donna Brazile attempting to insist she was straight.
"Cathy, the rope!" cried Betsy Red.
The rope?
Oh, no, they didn't.
Cathy popped another Ho-Ho in her mouth, mumbled something about "Sorry, Betinna" and pulled a rope out of her purse.
"Get ready to swing from the rafters, Strange Fruit," snarled Katrina vanden Heuvel.
I thought about kicking all their puny asses. But then I realized while I could snap Katrina like a twig, rip off her huge honker of a nose and use it to bludgeon Betsy, Cathy might still sit on me and that would be the end of that.
Thinking quickly, I grabbed "The New York Times" knowing that there would be a halo photo of Barry Obama as there is most days. I flashed it at them and they gasped. Muttering about the "great" Joe Stalin, they began moaning and sticking their hands down their panties while chanting "Awake and Sing" over and over.
While they were doing that, I called the cops.
The police busted all three on an obsentiy charge -- not hard to do, they were still masturbating to the picture of Barry when the police arrived -- and I realized how much fun they could have being sex offenders with Pig Ritter. One more sign that the women weren't feminists: No feminist publishes the work of a sexual predator.
Friday, May 16, 2008. Chaos and violence continue, an important DVD is released next week, what's up with Chalabi now, and more.
Starting with war resistance as Iraq Veterans Against the War noted yesterday (text, video)
Good afternoon. My name is Sgt. Matthis Chiroux, and I served in the Army as a Photojournalist until being honorable discharged last summer after over four years of service in Afghanistan, Japan, Europe and the Phillipines. As an Army journalist whose job it was to collect and filter servicemember's stories, I heard many stomach-churning testimonies of the horrors and crimes taking place in Iraq. For fear of retaliation from the military, I failed to report these crimes, but never again will I allow fear to silence me. Never again will I fail to stand. In February, I received a letter from the Army ordering my return to active duty, for the purpose of mobilization for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Thanks in great part to the truths of war being fearlessly spoken by my fellow IVAW members, I stand before you today with the strength, clarity and resolve to declare to the military and the world that this Soldier will not be deploying to Iraq. This occupation is unconstitutional and illegal and I hereby lawfully refuse to participate as I will surely be a party to war crimes. Furthermore, deployment in support of illegal war violates all of my core values as a human being, but in keeping with those values, I choose to remain in the United States to defend myself from charges brought by the Army if they so wish to pursue them. I refuse to participate in the occupation of Iraq.
IVAW includes a link to an online donations form that people can select "legal fund" from and notes that thankyoumatthis@ivaw.org is the address to express support to Matthis Chiroux. (That's thankyoumathhis at ivaw.org ).
As for those war resisters who are in Canada need support as well as they wait to see if the motion for safe harbor is going to come to the Parliament floor. You can utilize the following e-mails to show your support: Prime Minister Stephen Harper (http://us.f366.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=pm@pm.gc.ca -- that's pm at gc.ca) who is with the Conservative party and these two Liberals, Stephane Dion (http://us.f366.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=Dion.S@parl.gc.ca -- that's Dion.S at parl.gc.ca) who is the leader of the Liberal Party and Maurizio Bevilacqua (http://us.f366.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=Bevilacqua.M@parl.gc.ca -- that's Bevilacqua.M at parl.gc.ca) who is the Liberal Party's Critic for Citizenship and Immigration. In addition Jack Layton, NDP leader, has a contact form and they would like to hear from people as well. A few more addresses can be found here at War Resisters Support Campaign. For those in the US, Courage to Resist has an online form that's very easy to use.
There is a growing movement of resistance within the US military which includes Matthis Chiroux, Richard Droste, Michael Barnes, Matt Mishler, Josh Randall, Robby Keller, Justiniano Rodrigues, Chuck Wiley, James Stepp, Rodney Watson, Michael Espinal, Matthew Lowell, Derek Hess, Diedra Cobb, Brad McCall, Justin Cliburn, Timothy Richard, Robert Weiss, Phil McDowell, Steve Yoczik, Ross Spears, Peter Brown, Bethany "Skylar" James, Zamesha Dominique, Chrisopther Scott Magaoay, Jared Hood, James Burmeister, Jose Vasquez, Eli Israel, Joshua Key, Ehren Watada, Terri Johnson, Clara Gomez, Luke Kamunen, Leif Kamunen, Leo Kamunen, Camilo Mejia, Kimberly Rivera, Dean Walcott, Linjamin Mull, Agustin Aguayo, Justin Colby, Marc Train, Abdullah Webster, Robert Zabala, Darrell Anderson, Kyle Snyder, Corey Glass, Jeremy Hinzman, Kevin Lee, Mark Wilkerson, Patrick Hart, Ricky Clousing, Ivan Brobeck, Aidan Delgado, Pablo Paredes, Carl Webb, Stephen Funk, Blake LeMoine, Clifton Hicks, David Sanders, Dan Felushko, Brandon Hughey, Logan Laituri, Jason Marek, Clifford Cornell, Joshua Despain, Joshua Casteel, Katherine Jashinski, Dale Bartell, Chris Teske, Matt Lowell, Jimmy Massey, Chris Capps, Tim Richard, Hart Viges, Michael Blake, Christopher Mogwai, Christian Kjar, Kyle Huwer, Wilfredo Torres, Michael Sudbury, Ghanim Khalil, Vincent La Volpa, DeShawn Reed and Kevin Benderman. In total, at least fifty US war resisters in Canada have applied for asylum.
Information on war resistance within the military can be found at The Objector, The G.I. Rights Hotline [(877) 447-4487], Iraq Veterans Against the War and the War Resisters Support Campaign. Courage to Resist offers information on all public war resisters. In addition, VETWOW is an organization that assists those suffering from MST (Military Sexual Trauma).
As noted yesterday, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, chaired by Lynn Woolsey, Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee, and featured veterans offering testimony Thursday -- Iraq Veterans Against the War. The hearing was broadcast on CSPAN and KPFA (click here for KPFA's archived broadcast) and at Aaron Glantz' website The War Comes Home. Earlier (in March) Iraq Veterans Against the War held their Winter Soldier Investigation and it was broadcast at War Comes Home, at KPFK, at the Pacifica Radio homepage and at KPFA, here for Friday, here for Saturday, here for Sunday with Aimee Allison (co-host of the station's The Morning Show and co-author with David Solnit of Army Of None) and Aaron Glantz anchoring Pacifica's live coverage. (It was also broadcast at the IVAW site.) Allison and Glantz also hosted a live report on KPFA about the lawsuit against the VA on April 22nd. We'll focus on the second half of the first panel (which should get us through the second hour) and it was during this portion, after the veterans had offered their testimonies, that co-chair Maxine Waters first spoke and we'll pick up with this section.
US House Rep Maxine Waters: I have often wondered as I have read accounts of killings in Iraq of civilians, where they are described to us in the newspaper as 'some attack' or 'some killings' that have been executed because 'suspected terrorists' or 'suspected this' or suspected 'that'. And when I see women and children and civilians be killed, I often wonder who are those people? No one will ever be able to know what the true story is and they have nobody to stand up for them to say that they are innocent, that they are guilty of on crime. They just get killed and they die and that's it. And I wonder often times about those families and those children that we see getting killed in ways that you described here this morning. Mr. Goldsmith I want you to know I am so moved by your testimony that you had the courage to come here today and share with us what you have shared and say "This is how I thought a long time ago but that's not who I am today." That is very powerful, that is very moving. And I had to be contained up here by my leader . . . I just wanted to stand up and applaud and she said "Just be cool because we want to honor everybody in a special way."
US House Rep Waters was directing her last statements to Kristofer Goldsmith who testified last on the panel. Goldsmith presentation included visual slides. Juxtaposed were photos of him in uniform after completing basic training and him as a young child dressed up in a military uniform. He discussed specifically what his motivation was prior to deployment: to kill Iraqis, to kill Muslims. He spoke of the transformation he'd gone through -- which was what Waters was noting. He spoke of Sadr City (which will pick up at a later time) and, with time running out, noted US Senator and presumed GOP presidential nominee John McCain's opposition to the GI Bill US Senator Jim Webb is proposing. He said it wouldn't apply to him because he was he dishonorably discharged for attempting suicide so he wouldn't receive the benefit (due to the classification of the discharge) but it was sorely needed. Goldsmith would also note how telling his story was theraputic and how there are those who aren't able to tell their own stories: "It is very hard for us to find the courage to come up here and I would like to thank you again for hearing us."
US House Rep Maxin Waters: I don't like to make committments that I'm not sure I can follow or carry out but you're going to get your GI Bill, you're going to go to college.
Kristofer Goldsmith: Thank you.
US House Rep Maxine Waters: I want to tell you here and today that I'm on it, I'm focused. I don't know what I have to do but I'm going to get it. You're going to get it. I'm going to make that committment to you today. And whoever's standing in our collective way because, I know, that my collegues here share in my feelings about this. They [those opposed such as McCain] better get out of the way because we're going to get it. You have to have it. You must have it. And I'm so glad that you did not take you life, that it did not work. And I want you to know that no matter the disappointment, no matter the lies, no matter the experiences, there's some people here [in Congress] who believe in you, some people who are going to continue to fight to bring our soldiers home and some people here will stand up and fight for you no matter what the obstacles are. And I just wish you all would just defy this leader [Lynn Woolsey] and give him and everybody a big round of applause.
Rep Waters was referring to Rep Woolsey's explanation that this was a hearing and they would need to hold their applause. Also speaking was US House Rep Sheila Jackson-Lee who expressed her gratitude towards Kelly Dougherty for using her "anguish" to motivate greater change. Dougherty, who introduced the witnesses of the first panel, is an Iraq War veteran and the executive director of IVAW, the organization she co-founded. Jackson-Lee cited the testimonies and the need to end the illegal war.
US House Rep Sheila Jackson-Lee: And I feel a sense of urgency. I will leave the mike for a moment to go to the [House] floor to take some of the points you've made to offer them in my opposition to the war and what will be my vote to against any more funding for the war in Iraq. We made a personal committment that we will never vote for another cent. Sometimes we're blindsided. Sometimes they sneak it in or sneak it around. We try to be Sherlock Holmes and to find it and make sure we do not cast our vote. What I think I heard from Mr. Goldsmith was that there was this stop-loss policy of Secretary [Donald] Rumsfeld and I think that what I've heard from my constituents that a general discharge -- in fact I think we heard that yesterday, about a general discharge -- now blocks everyone from their education benefits. So let me join with Congresswoman Waters to say this has to be fixed. Morphed. Refined. Distinguished. So that individuals who have for causes, for reasons, for tragedies, found themselves under this particular discharge do not have to suffer anymore. Let me also very quickly say that you are creating a movement. It pains me to hear that you are representing those who are shouting in the darkness. So maybe as we have had and I know that you have gathered but those hundreds of thousands need to hear our voice. Let us welcome them to Washington. Let's bring 100,000 of your members to Washington and let's call the roll on members of Congress to come and tell them why this war continues. I think frankly that should be the challenge today.
Along with explaining what needs to happen to pressure Congress into action (those weren't pie-in-the-sky words, she was offering serious advice), Rep Jackson Lee noted that the Act of Congress by which the illegal war was 'justified' has expired and referenced her own bill. The title of that bill is Military Success in Iraq and Diplomatic Surge for National and Political Reconciliation in Iraq Act of 2007. It notes that the Military Force Against iraq Resolution has expired and calls for the "Withdrawal of Armed Forces and Contractor Security Forces From Iraq -- Not later than October 1, 2007 or 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, whichever shall occur first". It was referred to two House committees (Committee on Armed Services and Committee on Foreign Affairs) in February of last year. It remains in committee. The bill itself and Rep Jackson Lee's remarks at the hearing Thursday argues that US service members have done all that was asked of them and that it is time to withdrawal ("You have done everything we asked you to, Saddam Hussein is not there . . .").
As the first panel wound down, Rep Lynn Woolsey asked the witnesses to share how they dealt with their own grief. Jason Lemieux explained that after he returned from Iraq he sought PTSD counseling in Florida which was ended, not by his choice, when the counselor transferred/rotated. Today his focus is on attempting "to right to write as much as I can the wrongs I have done". Scott Ewing spoke of his work with IVAW and his academic work of providing him with a sense of direction and purpose. Kristofer Goldsmith explained his own history which included self-medicating with alcohol early on. He noted that seeking help at the VA requires waiting and waiting and waiting some more due to the long, long backup at the VA. In February, things improved for him when he was contacted by IVAW and began sharing his story with others. Geoffrey Millard noted that he puts on his black (IVAW) t-shirt every day: "I get to wake up every morning, put on that black t-shirt and work to bring the troops home, take care of them when they get home and make sure that Iraqis receive reperations. That is what keeps me going, gets my head off the pillow, every morning".
Rep Woolsey thanked them but noted that in terms of obligations and debt, "Moral debt belongs up here [Congress]. We thank you, you did the job you were hired to do . . . and you did it the best you could. The moral debt belongs to us."
Had the hearings received any significant media attention, that was the moment that should have been played. Woolsey was against the Iraq War before it started and has repeatedly called for an end and taken action to end it. But there was a member of Congress stating very clearly that the government held the moral debt. (Think of the Richard Clarke moment at the 9-11 hearings.) It was needed and it's to her credit (and her strength) that she made the statement.
Turning to Iraq, Nancy A. Youssef, Leila Fadel and Warren P. Strobel (McClatchy Newspapers) report that CIA asset Ahmad Chalabi is apparently again on the outs with the US and they quote a "senior military official" saying: "That's it. He's out." Thug, would be dictator and journalist-go-to-guy Chalabi has been repeatedly counted out and always surfaced again. This time he is supposedly on the outs with puppet of the occupation Nouri al-Maliki and supposedly to close to Iran (the latter charges have repeatedly dogged Chalabi in the last few years) but he denies he's any closer to the Iranian government than is al-Maliki.
Sahar Issa (McClatchy Newspapers) reports 2 Baghdad roadside bombings that claimed 1 life and left five wounded and a Falluja car bombing that claimed the life of "1 baby, six months old" and left seven people (including a two-month-old baby) wounded.
Sahar Issa (McClatchy Newspapers) reports Sadr City hospital personnel have seen 2 deaths and eleven people wounded as a result of the ongoing fighting in the US-led assault on Sadr City and, outside Falluja, 1 police officer shot and in critical condition.
Corpses?
Sahar Issa (McClatchy Newspapers) reports 4 corpses discovered in Baghdad and 1 in Sirwan Lake.
On a different topic. Every year many, many movies are released. Most will never speak to anyone. A few will have a quality (a performance, a director's gaze, etc.) that will make it worthy of at least one viewing. Some should be firmly embraced because they are that important, that well done and that necessary. Molly Bingham and Steve Connors' amazing documentary Meeting Resistance, available on DVD Tuesday (May 20th) is one that deserves to be embraced and has been in limited theartical showings. These are excerpts from the press release:
"Meeting Resistance," is about the people and make-up of the Iraqi resistance. Since it was released in theaters last fall, we have shown the film in more than 80 U.S. cities, as well as to several key military audiences. We've made more than 200 appearances with the film to talk about our understanding of the conflict in Iraq and take questions from the audience. When the lights come up, we are greeted with the kind of silence associated with people trying to reconcile what they thought they knew with what they now understand. We've come to realize that our film is delivering a paradigm shift about the Iraq conflict--one audience at a time. There are two wars in Iraq. "Meeting Resistance" explores the first war, the popularly supported resistance to occupation, which contains the majority of the organized violence that is happening in Iraq. Using primary source material, critical analysis and cross-referencing, we crafted a film that tells the story of that conflict. The second war is the civil war--an internal political struggle being waged over competing visions of Iraq's future, of which the country's sectarian violence is a symptom, not a cause. "Meeting Resistance" is a journalistic documentary, not an advocacy or polemic film. Although we did not set out to challenge the narrative of the Iraq conflict--the one that has been constructed in Washington--our reporting eventually led us to do so. U.S. military's briefings in the Green Zone during 2003 and 2004 told journalists that the violence against American troops came from "dead-enders" and "Ba'athi die-hards," from common criminals, religious extremists, foreign fighters, and al-Qaeda--characterized as "fringe elements". While some might fit some of these descriptions, the vast majority of those involved are citizens from the core of Iraqi society. In time, we came to see the U.S. military's misnaming of the "enemy" as an intentional act--as a key part of their objective to control the "information battle space." They aspire to control the perception of the enemy's identity, and through the news media persuade the American public that these "fringe elements" of Iraqi society are the only ones who oppose the U.S. presence in Iraq. A military push (or surge) to isolate and eliminate them would accomplish a perceived "victory." The National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq delivered to the White House in October 2003 was leaked in February 2006 by Robert Hutchings, the 2003-2005 chairman of the National Intelligence Council. Speaking in interviews, Hutchings revealed that the report said that it is composed of nationalists fighting for their country with deep roots in the society and that the U.S. military, if it remains in Iraq, will be fighting a counterinsurgency war for years to come, a conclusion that echoed what we had found in our on-the-ground reporting for "Meeting Resistance." If the predominant narrative about the Iraq conflict was truly based in reality, it would involve pointing out that the majority of Iraqis want a withdrawal of all foreign forces, and that the Department of Defense's quarterly reports to Congress, on average, show that from April 2004 to December 2007, 74 % of significant attacks initiated by Iraqis targeted U.S.-led coalition forces. Americans would also find out that half of registered marriages in Baghdad in 2002 were mixed marriages between Sunni and Shia, Kurd and Arab, Christian and Muslim, and many of the tribes and clans and families are, in fact, mixed between Sunni and Shia. Also, nearly all of the Arab Iraqis polled oppose dividing the country along ethnic and sectarian lines, and the vast majority demands that Iraq have a strong central government, not the decentralized powerlessness imposed by the American-influenced constitution. It is not that these points have never been reported, but the booming voice of "disinformation"--from which the Pentagon wants the American public to view the conflict--drowns much of this information out. Ultimately, our film has helped reveal the success of the Pentagon's strategy to obscure the real nature of the war in Iraq. Unfortunately, too many in the news media have been willing to allow that to happen. Throughout the world's history, there have been occupations--and resistance to those occupations. Why then do Americans have such a difficult time grasping that our troops are unwelcome by the vast majority of the Iraqi population? And why has reporting by our mainstream news media generally failed to recognize and draw our attention to this central, core aspect of the violence? Steve Connors and Molly Bingham are directors of "Meeting Resistance." Their film is distributed by First Run Features and available on DVD May 20th.
Changing topics again. Independent journalist, photo-journalist and artist David Bacon examines and explores the issues of immigrant rights frequently. At the Americas Program,
Bacon notes the massive rallies, marches and demonstrations for immigration rights in 2006 and 2007: "Yet today the federal government is taking actions that make holding a job a criminal act. Some states and local communities, seeing a green light from the Department of Homeland Security, are passing measures that go even further. These actions need a reality check." That should have been noted last Friday but time ran out. There's another piece I'd like to note but can't find. We'll grab it Friday and remember at Bacon's site, you have text and photos.
Turning to the US presidential race, Hillary Clinton is asking for your help: "Tell the Democratic National Committee to count the votes of Florida and Michigan." As Texas Darlin (TaylorMarsh.com) notes, Hillary's not losing and the calls of "Get out!" are coming about for just that fact. Jeralyn (TalkLeft) reports on a conference call with Hillary: "The number one message: It's the math not the map. In addition to the popular vote, the electoral map shows her with a cushion and Obama with a deficit. She has won 311 electoral votes to Obama's 217. While a few of her's like Texas and Oklahoma will be a challenge in November, many of his states will be: Alaska, Idaho, Utah, to name a few."

Better catalysts, made-to-order
Feb. 12, 2015 – Most of our food, medicine, fuel, plastics and synthetic fibers wouldn't exist without catalysts, materials that open favorable pathways for chemical reactions to run forth. And yet chemists don't fully understand how most catalysts work, and developing new catalysts often still depends on laborious trial-and-error.
But in a new study appearing in the journal Science, University of Utah chemists captured enough data on the crucial steps in a reaction to accurately predict the structures of the most efficient catalysts, those that would speed the process with the least amount of unwanted byproducts.
"We can pretty much predict the performance of any catalyst and substrate within this reaction space," says senior author Matthew Sigman, a professor of chemistry at the University of Utah.
The new approach could help chemists design catalysts that are not just incrementally better, but entirely new, Sigman says. With a clearer understanding of the forces at play as molecules cling and shape-shift together, chemists might be able to take advantage of interactions now regarded as unimportant or impossible to control.
"Now we can go in and find out what is important to us, which is why things work," says postdoctoral researcher Anat Milo, the study's first author. "That is going to be absolutely essential for developing next-generation catalysts." Milo and Sigman conducted the research with Andrew Neel and F. Dean Toste of the University of California at Berkeley.
High value targets
It's hard to overstate the value of catalysts. By one estimate, over a third of global economic output depends on catalytic processes. Efforts to reduce the waste stream from chemical manufacturing hinge on the invention of better catalysts, as do renewable energy technologies such as fuel cells and artificial photosynthesis.
In the new study, the researchers focused on a reaction for modifying a carbon-ring structure found in many compounds with potent pharmaceutical effects (1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and its derivatives). They chose this reaction because of its practical importance, but also because it is a complicated reaction not amenable to probing by standard techniques.
"There is so little understood about these reactions that design is very difficult," Sigman says.
The trickiest part is steering the reaction to produce structures with the desired "handedness." Carbon-based compounds can assemble into forms that are mirror images, or enantiomers. They have all of the same atoms, but the spatial arrangement of the atoms changes the three-dimensional structure. The forms differ much like a person's left and right hands. Typically only one of the forms will have the desired chemical activity. "You can imagine it as a hand-shake between a molecule and its target," says Milo. "You cannot shake with the wrong hand."
"Importantly, their approach is general and should be applicable to a wide range of catalytic reactions. This expands the power of the simple linear free-energy relations that have long been the workhorse of physical organic chemistry, and provides a key step toward a future in which big data can be used to design small catalysts."
– Science Magazine
A perfect catalyst would drive the reaction to produce only the desired mirror-image form. None of the starting material would be wasted on synthesis of the inactive enantiomer. The researchers sought to isolate the crucial interactions that tip the reaction toward producing one form or the other of the end product.
To gain insight, the researchers generated a set of catalysts with systematic changes in structure. At certain positions on the molecule, they substituted a series of different atoms or groups of atoms to alter its size or electronic properties. They did the same to generate a set of the chemical substrates that the catalyst acts upon.
Going big with data
Experimenting with these sets allowed the researchers to measure how selectively a given catalyst worked to produce the desired product. The experiments generated a large set of measurements, from poor to high selectivity. Significantly, the researchers didn't discard any results, even those from reactions with terrible selectivity.
"It is the premise of big data," Sigman says. "There are no 'bad' results. Every result is important because it is telling you something."
The researchers used the data to perform a statistical analysis to identify the structural features of a catalyst and its substrate that correlated most clearly with reaction selectivity. And based on these correlations, they developed a computational model to predict outcomes.
Additional experiments with 20 different catalyst-substrate pairs showed that the model could accurately predict selectivity. "One catalyst afforded the cleanest reaction observed to date," Sigman says. "The least amount of byproducts was formed – a result that was accurately predicted by the data-intensive model developed to describe this reaction."
To keep track of the large and intricate datasets, the researchers had to devise a way to visualize all of the relevant information. In one instance, they plotted each catalyst's selectivity as it varied with different substrates. They arranged these plots according to which positions on the molecules were modified. The systematic display of the data helped uncover informative patterns in the ways that features with varying geometry and electronic properties behave during a reaction.
"That was the most fun part," says Milo. "Looking at it with the eyes of a synthetic chemist to try to see from all of these trends and patterns something that could be involved in driving the selectivity of the reaction."
"Our plan," says Sigman, "is to take this technique and chase new problems."

Piemonte – Domenico Clerico is one of the most famous producers in Italy. An iconic figure, Domenico's story is one that is familiar from his generation: a young man from humble beginnings with determination and a dream struggles through early production, gains success and finds new French oak, then ultimately has the experience and confidence to minimize the influence of oak and focus on making pure, beautiful expressions of one of the world's greatest wines. Over the years Domenico was able to buy parcels, or all, of many of the top vineyards in Monforte D'Alba. His wines are collector's items around the world.

Q: node-pre-gyp: Permission denied in heroku push I'm pushing my MEAN stack app to heroku but an error is arising.

I have tried to install node-pre-gyp but the error still there. I really dont know how to fix this.

A: Remove node_modules folder in your root folder rm -rf node_modules beacuse heroku will install all your dependencies, I hope this will work

A: node-pre-gyp: Permission denied in heroku push::
Just ran into this error just now, researching got me here. So i tried what chris advised.
Try deleting the node_modules from your repo, let Heroku install them itself, then the node-pre-gyp won't be an issue, oh, also remember to add the engine in your package.json file
//package.json
    "engines": {
        "node": "10.16.0"
      }

so that heroku doesn't use a default version, which might not be compatible to most of your installed packages.
NB: use node --version, in your cmd to know your node version.
