Ацетилкофермент А, ацетил-коэнзим А, сокращённо ацетил-КоА — важное для обмена веществ соединение, используемое во многих биохимических реакциях. Его главная функция — доставлять атомы углерода с ацетил-группой в цикл трикарбоновых кислот, чтобы те были окислены с выделением энергии. По своей химической структуре ацетил-КоА — тиоэфир между коферментом А (тиолом) и уксусной кислотой (носителем ацильной группы). Ацетил-КоА образуется во время второго шага кислородного клеточного дыхания, декарбоксилирования пирувата, который происходит в матриксе митохондрии. Ацетил-КоА затем поступает в цикл трикарбоновых кислот.

Ацетил-КоА — важный компонент биологического синтеза нейротрансмиттера ацетилхолина. Холин, в соединении с ацетил-КоА, катализируется ферментом холин-ацетилтрансферазой, чтобы образовать ацетилхолин и коэнзим А.

Функции

Окислительное декарбоксилирование пирувата и реакции пируват-формиат-лиазы
Кислородное преобразование пирувата в ацетил-КоА называют реакцией окислительного декарбоксилирования пирувата. Она катализируется пируватдегидрогеназным комплексом. Другие преобразования между пируватом и ацетил-КоА возможны. Например, пируват-формиат-лиазы преобразуют пируват в ацетил-КоА и муравьиную кислоту.

Метаболизм жирных кислот
В организме человека осуществляется синтез насыщенных жирных кислот с парным количеством углеродных атомов (в большинстве пальмиата и стеарата); метаболическим источником для этого синтеза является ацетил-КоА, который образуется за счет аэробного окисления глюкозы. Активность процесса биосинтеза жирных кислот зависит от характера диеты; еда, которая содержит большое количество жиров, подавляет скорость этого синтеза.

Ферментные реакции биосинтеза жирных кислот из ацетил-Коа, в отличие от их окисления, осуществляются в цитоплазме клеток; основным продуктом этого синтеза является пальмитиновая кислота .

Непосредственным донором двухуглеродных фрагментов, которые используются клеткой для синтеза длинноцепочечных жирных кислот, является ацетил-КоА, образованный в реакции окислительного декарбоксилирования пирувата, которая протекает в матриксе митохондрий. Поскольку внутренняя мембрана митохондрий непроницаема для ацетил-КоА, то для использования ацетил-КоА в процессе биосинтеза жирных кислот применяется специальная система, которая транспортирует митохондриальный ацетил-КоА в цитозоль. Процесс осуществляется следующим образом

1. Внутри митохондрий ацетил-КоА взаимодействует с оксалоацетатом, образуя лимонную кислоту (цитрат), которая является главным субстратом окислительного цитратного цикла, но может частично оставлять митохондрии и выходить в цитозоль с помощью специальной транспортной системы трикарбоксилатов:

1)

2)

Стимуляция выхода цитрата из митохондрий в цитоплазму возможно в условиях, если способствуют активации анаболических процессов в организме, в частности при усиленном питании глюкозой и другими сахарами, гликолитическое окисление которых порождает накопление цитрата и других метаболитов ЦТК в матриксе митохондрий.

2. В цитозольном пространстве цитрат расщепляется специальной лиазой с образованием оксалоацетата и цитозольного ацетил-КоА, который поступает в систему синтеза высших жирных кислот:

У животных ацетил-КоА является основой баланса между углеводным обменом и жировым обменом. Обычно ацетил-КоА из метаболизма жирных кислот поступает в цикл трикарбоновых кислот, содействуя энергетическому обеспечению клеток. В печени, когда уровень циркуляции жирных кислот высок, производство ацетил-КоА от разрыва жиров превышает энергетические потребности клетки. Чтобы использовать энергию, доступную из лишних ацетил-КоА, создаются кетоновые тела, которые затем могут циркулировать в крови.
В некоторых обстоятельствах это может привести к высокому уровню кетоновых тел в крови, состоянию, называемому кетозом, которое отличается от кетоацидоза, опасного состояния, способного повлиять на диабетиков.
У растений синтез новых жирных кислот происходит в пластидах. Многие растения запасают большие количества масел в семенах, чтобы поддерживать прорастание и ранний рост саженцов, пока они не перешли на питание от фотосинтеза. Жирные кислоты включены в липиды мембраны, главнейший компонент большинства мембран.

Другие реакции
 Две молекулы ацетил-КоА могут быть соединены, чтобы создать ацетоацетил-КоА, что будет первым шагом в ГМГ-КоА/биосинтезе холестерина, предшествующем синтезу изопреноидов. У животных ГМГ-КоА — это жизненный предшественник синтеза холестерина и кетоновых тел.
 Ацетил-КоА — также источник ацетил-группы, включённой в определённые лизиновые остатки гистоновых и негистоновых белков в посттрансляционной модификации ацетилирования, реакции, катализируемой ацетилтрансферазой.
 У растений и животных цитозольный ацетил-КоА синтезируется АТФ-цитратлиазой. Когда глюкоза изобилует в крови животных, она преобразуется посредством гликолиза в цитозоле в пируват, а затем в ацетил-КоА в митохондрии. Избыток ацетил-КоА вызывает производство избыточных цитратов, которые переносятся в цитозоль, чтобы дать начало цитозольному ацетил-КоА.
 Ацетил-КоА может быть карбоксилирован в цитозоле в ацетил-КоА-карбоксилазу, давая начало малонил-КоА, необходимого для синтеза флавоноидов и родственных поликетидов, для удлинения жирных кислот (образование восков), для образования кутикулы и масла в семенах у членов рода Капуста, а также для малонации протеинов и других фитохимических соединений.
 У растений они включают в себя сесквитерпены, брассиностероиды (гормоны) и мембранные стеролы.

When the State of Illinois joined the Union in 1818, Franklin County, Illinois was originally mapped out at twice its current size. In time, this large county was cut in half with one half remaining Franklin County and the other half becoming the new Williamson County. After the split, Franklin County officials began the process of creating the county seat. They plotted out a twenty acre site from donated land and it was this site that would eventually become the city of Benton, Illinois.
Throughout its history Benton grew from a fledgling village to an incorporated city, due to the coal mining industry, the railroads that were built through the city, and the robust farming community that developed nearby. Another distinction that the city is known for is the fact that Benton was the site of the final public hanging in the state of Illinois. Today, Benton, Illinois has 7,000 residents and still serves as the county seat of Franklin County, Illinois.

MEPs and EU governments resume negotiations today on new car CO2 reduction targets, but two changes to the proposal sought by the Council threaten to drastically weaken the ambition of the crucial climate law.
Governments now want plug-in hybrids to count more towards the sales benchmark for zero and low-emission vehicles (ZLEVs) expected from all carmakers for 2025 and 2030. Despite many current hybrids having real-world emissions above 100 grams of CO2 per km on the road, this amendment would fail to incentivise improvement of their efficiency or electric range. It would result in fewer cars with higher emissions being required to reach the benchmark.
Countries are also calling for sales of zero and low emission vehicles – ZLEVs – to be double counted towards the benchmark in EU member states where the ZLEV share is below 60% of the EU average in 2021. That means at least 15 member states would qualify based on today's sales – including Italy and Spain, but excluding Hungary. While originally designed to aid sales in lower-GDP countries, the amendment will undermine its own goal.
The double-counting amendment also goes against the principle of the EU internal market and is an open invitation for carmakers to game the system. Manufacturers can easily register a ZLEV sale in one of the 15 countries where it would be double counted towards the benchmark – and quickly re-register the vehicle in a major market shortly afterwards. So, while the actual owner of the ZLEV could be in Germany, carmakers get credit for 'selling' the ZLEV in Poland and benefit from Polish national EV incentives. This is already happening: for example Hyundai-Kia are registering sub-50g/km EVs in Germany and Sweden, but these are then resold in Norway. The tax breaks being provided by the German and Swedish governments are also benefiting drivers in Norway – not at home.
If accepted by the Parliament and Commission, the two amendments will seriously weaken the car CO2 regulation. Carmakers could choose to sell the minimum share of ZLEVs required to meet the 2025/2030 sales benchmarks, which would result in millions of fewer plug-in cars being sold across Europe annually. Or manufacturers could choose to sell the same number of ZLEVs that they would under the Commission's proposed counting rules. In this case the Council amendments would allow carmakers to easily overshoot the sales benchmarks and benefit from the bonus, which would be a less stringent CO2 reduction target for their whole fleet.
T&E said the proposed changes would lower the Council's proposed 35% reduction target for new cars in 2030 to an effective 31.8% target – a significant weakening of the law through accounting tricks.
As the accounting tricks could lower the CO2 reduction target from 35% to 31.8% in 2030, there could be an additional 6.8 Mt of additional CO2 emissions in Europe – compared to under the Commission and Parliament's preferred approach.
T&E said the Parliament and Commission today must stand firm over the methodology they proposed and defend the internal market rules. That means there should be no multiplier for plug-in hybrids – the Commission already rewards them in accordance with their real-world performance. There should also be no double counting of ZLEV sales in member states based on a subjective, averaged sales criteria. T&E said more tailored measures are needed to kickstart markets in some poorer member states, rather than arbitrary double-counting that encourages gaming of the regulation.

One of the advantages of taking a holiday with Excellence Afloat at Valley Cruises is our central position at the Heart of England – true canal country surrounded by a vast choice of routes.
This applies equally to short breaks. There really is something for everyone. Here are a few ideas.
Day one – Along the Coventry Canal to the sharp right hand turn of Marston Junction, which will see you on to the beautiful and tranquil Ashby Canal. Cruise into the evening to make it to bridge 31 at Dadlington which boasts a wonderful 18th century inn, The Dog and Hedgehog. The food is of such renown that you will probably have to book in order to get a served a meal (01455 213 151).
Day two – Make an early start today. A short distance on finds you at Hinckley, the only town on the Ashby. From bridge 16 it is a short walk to the local store with cash point. Take a break midday. You could spend time at Sutton Cheney Wharf, just after bridge 34, where you can watch the colourful trip boats, have a light meal in the café, browsing in the shop or enjoying a canal side picnic. You could moor just after bridge 35 at King Richard's Field and relive history by exploring the Bosworth Battlefield Country Park. You could stop at the preserved Shenton Station, visit the Railway Pottery and catch a steam train for the historic five mile journey to Shackerstone Station and back. Alternatively you could moor walk east into Market Bosworth, a beautiful, well preserved town with many historical buildings and some lovely places to eat, largely clustered around the old cobbled market place, a conservation area. In the afternoon enjoy the canal at its most rural, dodging round tiny at Boswoth Wharf, where you can make the mile villages, passing over aqueducts and navigating the leafy tunnel of Gopsall Woods, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, mainly because of the aquatic plant life and varieties of dragonfly attracted to the area. Pass through Snarestone Tunnel and go on to the terminus, a remote winding hole. Depending on how much daylight you have left, and how the mood takes you, you can spend a peaceful night here, head back to the newly refurbished restaurant of The Globe Pub in the quiet village of Snarestone (01530 270272), The Rising Sun in unspoiled Shackerstone (01827 880215) or the trendy Horse and Jockey in Congerstone (01827 880319).
Day three – The nearer the terminus you spent the evening, the earlier your start needs to be, for the aim is to be at Hinckley for a late lunch at the large Brewer's Fayre Restaurant (01455 636493), which has terraces overlooking the canal beside the lovely Trinity marina, where you can browse the boats for sale. Spend a leisurely afternoon meandering back to Marston Junction then back to the Greyhound Inn at Hawkesbury Junction (a very popular canalside pub – it may be wise to book in advance - (02476 363046)) for your last night aboard.
Day four - Set off at 7am to reach our marina by 8.30.
Day One - Along the Coventry Canal as far as the historic Hawkesbury Junction with its popular canal side pub, The Greyhound, which offers traditional 'pub grub' and lots of canal side conversation. You may need to book (02476 363046) and, sorry, but no children after 7pm.
Day Two - Make an early start and continue your cruise along the North Oxford Canal, negotiating your first lock "Hawkesbury Deep" so named because it is all of 4 inches in depth! Stop for lunch at Rugby, home of Rugby football and continue through the 3 locks at Hillmorton to the very famous Braunston Junction. Turn left into Braunston marina, described by Michael Pearson in his indispensable canal guides as as "a point of pilgrimage which has captured the imagination of waterway writers, artists and photographers more than almost any other canal location". Spend the evening in pretty Braunston Village with its choice of places to eat.
Day Three - Continue towards Norton, a truly fascinating stretch of water. You begin with six locks followed by a 2042 yard tunnel (the seventh longest in the canal network) and some subterranean and remote scenery. At Norton Junction, turn around and enjoy it all again in reverse as you make your way back to Braunston. Cruise back along the Oxford Canal until dark. If you make it as far as Hillmorton you can eat at Badseys Bistro (01788 553562), voted Britain's best canal side restaurant.
Day Four - Back through Rugby, Newbold Tunnel and Stretton Stop for a late lunch at Ansty Rose and Castle canal side pub (024 7661 2822). A leisurely afternoon's cruise will bring you to Hawkesbury Junction and back to the Coventry Canal Basin. Spend your last night dining out or enjoying the night life in Coventry. Make time to tell us about your experiences and any hostelries you would recommend, before leaving the following morning.
Day One - From the canal basin, travel approximately 5 miles, under the M6, and arrive at the first of many excellent canal side pubs, providing hospitality to generations of canal users, The Greyhound.
Day Two - Continue NW through Atherstone's first five locks and stop here where you can enjoy the canal side King's Head pub then on through the remaining six locks at Atherstone, through some of the loveliest scenery the Coventry has to offer and on to the two further locks at Glascote. It is then just a short distance to Fazeley Junction where you can top up on supplies at a couple of supermarkets.
Day Three - Head back along the Coventry Canal and spend the day negotiating the locks and enjoying the sights and sounds on the canal. By the evening you and your crew will have built up quite an appetite (and thirst) ready for the Anchor Inn near bridge 29.
Day Four – A gentle day's cruise towards the canal basin, spending your last night at the Greyhound again at Hawkesbury Junction or continue on to the Canal basin and spend your last night in Coventry.
Day Five - You will be greeted at 8.30 in the morning by our friendly staff and you have to wave a sad goodbye to your boat. Have a safe journey and we hope to see you again.
Day Two - Cruise NW for an energetic day, starting with Atherstone's eleven locks, to Polesworth. This will take approximately four hours. Polesworth is a small town but has several pubs and restaurants if you wish to stop for lunch. Continue cruising for an hour to the large town of Tamworth and moor near bridge 73. Walk into town to find a castle and museum (01827 7096626), an indoor ski slope with real snow (0870 000011) and lots of places to eat including a bistro, Italian, Indian and several pubs.
Day Three - Carry on the short distance to Fazeley Junction where you can purchase a cooked breakfast and there are also a couple of supermarkets. Turn left onto the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal as far as the intriguing Drayton Foot Bridge and spend the day at Drayton Manor Theme Park (01827 287979). From here continue towards Curdworth. Pass through the three bottom locks and moor up and bridge 9 to enjoy dinner at the Dog and Doublet Inn 01827 872374).
Day Four - Seven more locks and a trip under the M6 toll road will see you climbing all the way to Cudworth. Here there is a short tunnel. Continue to the turning point after Wigginshill Road Bridge. Turn here and moor nearby. A good walk will take you to the river Tame with its grand 6 arch bridge. Stock up on provisions in Minworth and cook aboard or visit the Boat pub (0121 240 9696) for your evening meal.
Day Six - Turn right at Fazeley junction will see you back on the Coventry Canal. Pass through Tamworth and spend a short time at Alvecote, enjoying the nature reserve and the mystical ruins of the 12th Century priory. Returned up through Atherstone Locks and continue for another hour until you reach the Anchor Inn at bridge 29 (024 76398839), where the food is plentiful and cheap.
Day Seven - A leisurely aday's cruise will bring you to Hawkesbury Junction and back to the Coventry Canal Basin. Spend your last night dining out or enjoying the night life in Coventry. Make time to tell us about your experiences and any hostelries you would recommend, before saying your farewells the following morning.


Be them past, present, or future employees, it's hard to know the history and tendencies of your staff just from the workplace much in the same way that it's hard to judge a book by its cover. We've all had a friend who, after years of supposedly close familiarity, surprises us with some large transgression...human nature is, at the end of the day, nigh impossible to pin down. However, with Viewpoint Screening on your side you can at least get a solid foundation of information upon which to base your human resource assessments, and that can make all the difference for the integrity of your workplace.

Anna and Phil were married with a ceremony at St. Hugh's Catholic Church with an amazing reception at The Epic Hotel in downtown Miami.
Anna choose to get ready at her parents' home in Coral Gables, surrounded by her bridal party. One of the benefits of getting ready at a home instead of a hotel is the level of personal detail that the pictures can capture. We even had the chance to take photos outdoors by the pool using some of the fun flamingo props from the Welcome Party they hosted the night before! Anna looked so happy to be surrounded by her family and friends as she got ready for her special day.
One of my favorite moments was the first time Anna walked down the staircase towards her father. The joy on his face was so beautiful! Nothing beats the love a father has for his little girl. After a few quiet moments with her dad, Anna did a reveal with her bridal party before heading to the church.
The ceremony was held at the stunning St. Hugh's Catholic Church. The soaring ceilings and beautiful stained glass windows make for an impressive ceremony backdrop. After they were pronounced man and wife, Anna and Phil looked positively joyful. Their smiles were both a mile wide. After the ceremony was complete, we took a few moments on the river boardwalk next to the Epic for some bridal party photos. I also made sure to steal a few moments on the bridge with the newlyweds right as the sun was setting over downtown Miami.
I knew from our first meeting a year before their wedding that Anna and Phil's wedding was going to be an amazing party, and I was not wrong! It was a night to remember. From the way Anna and Phil make each other smile, to the amazing energy of their families, and the non-stop party atmosphere… the celebration did not stop. Anna's mom even surprised her and her new husband with an amazing hora loca party, complete with stilt walkers, dancers – and even a confetti canon! I loved the surprise and excitement on Annas face when the confetti cannon's exploded! This wedding was a delight to capture.
What's more, I was so honored that Anna and Phil's wedding was recently featured on the blog, Every Last Detail.
Anna and Phil, I loved being the wedding photographer to capture your elegant Miami destination wedding. Congratulations to you both!

Watch this in-depth 2-hour webinar to catch up on a wide range of important new legal developments for California employers. We cover topics including:
Update on COVID-19 Related Law: Hot off the presses court rulings on vaccination requirements, how to handle religious and medical exemption requests to vaccination requirements, employee leave rights and the latest safety standards (including the new Federal OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard for employers with 100+ employees). This recording includes discussion added to the original webinar about the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on January 13, 2022, that stayed enforcement of Federal OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard.
Review of Remote Work Legal Considerations: Key ingredients of a remote work policy; what expenses must an employer reimburse for remote work (e.g., internet, cellular service, supplies); remote work impact on what counts as "time worked" and reimbursable mileage; home office safety considerations.
Recent Employee Jury Verdicts: Including a $137 million jury award against Tesla in favor of a staffing agency worker for alleged racial harassment, and alleged failure to take appropriate corrective actions; $2.4 million verdict against AstraZeneca for alleged retaliation of an employee who had expressed compliance-related concerns, and was terminated shortly after returning from a medical leave.
Employee Handbook Updates: Updating leave policies to reflect recent amendments to the California Family Rights Act ("CFRA"); some select, key updates and adjustments for employees working in non-California locations based upon state/local laws.
Employee Arbitration Agreements: Recent court ruling that reinstates (at least temporarily) California Assembly Bill 51's ban on mandatory arbitration agreements; revision to the law stating that an employer waives arbitration by failing to pay arbitration fees within 30 days.
Severance/Release & Non-Disparagement Agreements: Agreement form updates required by California's new "Silenced No More Act," including a mandatory disclaimer to be added to non-disparagement clauses, and other prohibitions against agreements that would purport to ban current or former employees from disclosing information related to alleged harassment or discrimination.
Wage & Hour Law Update: New heightened pay requirements for exempt computer software professionals and "white collar" exempt employees; new minimum wage requirements for non-exempt employees. Also, a California court ruling that found time card rounding practices non-compliant.
Registrants will be able to download several handouts (by clicking the gotwebinar handouts icon), including a handout of the slides, and several model forms related to the program topics.

Focus on Manufacturing & Distribution and Public Companies: SEC Issues Final Rule on Section 1502: Conflict Minerals
The following serves as an update to a previously published E-Focus Newsletter on the same topic in October 2011. Click here to view the previously published article.
On August 22, 2012 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a rule mandated by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank).
Based on the adoption of the rule, companies will be required to provide disclosure, on a new Form SD (Specialized Disclosure), on their use of conflict minerals, defined as '3TG' minerals (Tungsten, Tantalum, Tin, and Gold) originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries.
The first Specialized Disclosure report will be required to be filed on or by May 31, 2014 for the 2013 calendar year and annually on or by May 31 every year thereafter. These filing dates are the same, regardless of a company's fiscal year end.
The purpose of Section 1502 is an attempt to reduce or even eliminate significant exploitation and violence in the DRC by identifying companies that source specific metals/minerals from this region of the world and making the public aware of its impact through financial statement disclosure.
A company is required to comply with the newly adopted SEC rule if it:
Files reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act, and
3TG minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of their products
Furthermore, even companies that do not file with the SEC may need to conduct due diligence on their supply chain if they are suppliers to impacted SEC filers.
The industries that will be primarily affected include: Electronics and Communications, Aerospace, Automotive, Jewelry, and Industrial Manufacturing.
Under the new SEC rule, a company that utilizes 3TG minerals is now required to perform a review that is reasonably designed and performed in good faith to determine the Country of Origin of 3TG minerals used in their product and/or manufacturing processes.
If a company has no reason to believe that conflict minerals originated from the DRC, then the company must only disclose its determination and inquiry methodology on Form SD. Additionally, the description must be made publicly available on the company internet website and also reported in Form SD the internet address where the information was made available publicly.
If, however, a company knows or has reason to believe that the identified minerals may have originated from the DRC, then the company must perform "due diligence" on the source and chain of custody for those minerals. Additionally, a Conflict Minerals Report must also be filed as an exhibit to Form SD. Similar to the above public reporting requirements, a company in this situation must make the Conflict Minerals Report publicly available via the company internet website and also report in Form SD the internet address where the information has been made available publicly.
If a Conflict Minerals Report is required to be filed, as noted in the prior paragraph, the company is required to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of their 3TG minerals, which must comply with a nationally or internationally recognized framework, such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Based on the company's internal assessment, the independent audit and certification requirements will vary. Internal company assessments include:
DRC Conflict Free
Not Been Found to be DRC Conflict Free
DRC Conflict Indeterminable
Recycled or Scrap Due Diligence

Q: Add new columns to every matrices in a list of matrices in R I have a list of matrices with 61 matrices. Below is an example of one of the 61 matrices.
list_matrix_Tanzania_Mod500
[[60]]
      LU_2000
 [1,]      12
 [2,]      12
 [3,]      12
 [4,]      12
 [5,]      12
 [6,]      12
 [7,]      12
 [8,]      12
 [9,]      12
[10,]      11
[11,]      11
[12,]      12
[13,]      11
[14,]      12
[15,]      12

I want to add 10 new colums to every matrices of the list of matrices. Once I have added these new columns, I want to give a header name to each columns with a value NA: "ID", "LU_1990", "CHLU_90_00", "LU_2005", "CHLU_00_05", "Tile", "UNIQ_ID", "AREA", "Sour_90_00", "Sour_00_05"
I now want to fill in the list of matrices list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis with several matrices: LU_Mod2000, LU_Mod2005 and list_matrix_Tanzania. I tried this but the column are not updated well. Fot instance, when I run the Mapcode line for the LU_Mod2005, the values of LU_2000 are erased from the matrices.
columnsToTransfer1 <- 'LU_2000'
columnsToTransfer2 <- 'LU_2005'
columnsToTransfer3<- ('ID', 'Tile', 'UNIQ_ID')

    Map(function(x,y,z) {x[,z] <- y[,z];x},
                list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis, LU_Mod2000, columnsToTransfer1)
    Map(function(x,y,z) {x[,z] <- y[,z];x},
        list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis, LU_Mod2005, columnsToTransfer2)
Map(function(x,y,z) {x[,z] <- y[,z];x},
    list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis, list_matrix_Tanzania, columnsToTransfer3)

This trick is working but I would like to keep the name of the list of matrices as list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis
list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis1<- Map(function(x,y,z) {x[,z] <- y[,z];x},
            list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis, LU_Mod2000, columnsToTransfer1)
list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis2<-Map(function(x,y,z) {x[,z] <- y[,z];x},
    list_matrix_Tanzania_Modis1, LU_Mod2005, columnsToTransfer2)

A: If I understand correctly, a simple cbind should work after creating an empty matrix of the correct dimensions:
Sample input:
L <- list(matrix(1:3, ncol = 1, dimnames = list(NULL, "a")),
          matrix(1:5, ncol = 1, dimnames = list(NULL, "b")))
L
# [[1]]
#      a
# [1,] 1
# [2,] 2
# [3,] 3
#
# [[2]]
#      b
# [1,] 1
# [2,] 2
# [3,] 3
# [4,] 4
# [5,] 5

The new columns you want to add:
newcols <- c("ID", "LU_1990", "CHLU_90_00", "LU_2005", "CHLU_00_05",
             "Tile", "UNIQ_ID", "AREA", "Sour_90_00", "Sour_00_05")

Use lapply to cycle through the list, adding the relevant empty columns to each list item.
myNewList <- lapply(L, function(x) {
  M <- matrix(NA, nrow = nrow(x), ncol = 10, dimnames = list(NULL, newcols))
  cbind(x, M)
})

myNewList
# [[1]]
#      a ID LU_1990 CHLU_90_00 LU_2005 CHLU_00_05 Tile UNIQ_ID AREA Sour_90_00 Sour_00_05
# [1,] 1 NA      NA         NA      NA         NA   NA      NA   NA         NA         NA
# [2,] 2 NA      NA         NA      NA         NA   NA      NA   NA         NA         NA
# [3,] 3 NA      NA         NA      NA         NA   NA      NA   NA         NA         NA
#
# [[2]]
#      b ID LU_1990 CHLU_90_00 LU_2005 CHLU_00_05 Tile UNIQ_ID AREA Sour_90_00 Sour_00_05
# [1,] 1 NA      NA         NA      NA         NA   NA      NA   NA         NA         NA
# [2,] 2 NA      NA         NA      NA         NA   NA      NA   NA         NA         NA
# [3,] 3 NA      NA         NA      NA         NA   NA      NA   NA         NA         NA
# [4,] 4 NA      NA         NA      NA         NA   NA      NA   NA         NA         NA

The 132-acre Centennial Park has been called "Nashville's premier park." It is also the city's oldest and most visited park. The area, which began as a farm and became, briefly, a racetrack, was designated as the site for Nashville's historic centennial (1897), and then redesigned as a full-scale park in 1903. Major enhancements have since been added, such as, in addition to the famous Parthenon (which see), a walking trail, the Centennial Art Center, a sunken garden, a band shell, sand volleyball courts and two dog parks. Many special events, such as the Nashville Shakespeare Festival, take place there. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

The site on which Centennial Park now stands was originally a farm, purchased in 1783 by John Cockrill, brother-in-law of Nashville's co-founder, James Robertson. After the Civil War, the area was the state fairgrounds, and from 1884 to 1895, it became a racetrack called West Side Park. In 1895, construction began on the site for Nashville's centennial, which was finally opened to the public in 1897; after the event ended in October of that year, The Parthenon was one of the few exhibits left standing. The site was opened as a park for the first time in 1903: Gilbert & Sullivan operettas began to be heard there. In 1911, the Centennial Athletic Field was added, and in subsequent years purchases of residential properties as well as other acquisitions expanded the park area until it reached its present size. The Centennials Arts Center first appeared in 1972.
The Centennial Park Master Plan was approved in 2011, which will result in the major development of two areas within the park: 1) the Cockrill Spring Zone, a revival of the historic Cockrill Spring that existed when the site was still farmland, and 2) the Parthenon Zone, consisting of the area between the Parthenon and Lake Watagua. Among many other additions, an entry plaza and a formal events lawn will be added to the Parthenon Zone when construction is completed.
Many cultural events are associated with the park.The climactic scene of one of director Robert Altman's most celebrated films, Nashville (1975), was filmed there. The first Shakespeare in the Park production took place in 1988 and, by the following year, The Nashville Shakespeare Festival was fully established. Soon after, the festival developed an educational outreach program for the public schools, and later adult programs and other services were added. In the summer of 2015, the festival will be presenting Shakespeare's famous history play Henry V, but with a little Nashville history thrown in, as the actors will represent American Civil War soldiers putting on a 19th Century production of Shakespeare's play.

LISTS The New Wave of Indie Surf By Mariana Timony · June 30, 2017
No musical genre embodies the spirit of summer more than surf. It's the music of Beach Party and the Beach Boys, of vacations and youthful exploits, of innocence and irresponsibility, of endless days bathed in the golden glow of a California sun. Surf is a genre with the uncanny ability to locate the listener in a particular time, place, and season the instant the needle hits the groove.
Rock music is still caught in surf's undertow nearly half a century after the genre's birth in the early '60s in Orange County, California. Elements of surf wash up regularly in many different genres—garage, lo-fi, indie pop, punk, and shoegaze to name a few—which is a testament to the staying power of a decidedly American, and specifically Californian, form of music.
That said, surf was never one of the "cool" subgenres of rock. One might even say that it is deeply uncool, not only because it's often categorized as "dad rock," but also because its cultural relevance was completely swept away by the arrival of the Beatles and the subsequent British Invasion, which left the genre frozen within what became to be considered, even at the time but especially to modern ears, a particularly vanilla period in American music history. Once the tide began to turn towards the societal upheavals and the accompanying rock 'n' roll soundtrack of the mid 1960s, surf's sun-bleached idealization of youth, waves, cars, high school, and having good clean fun began to run a very silly and square course.
Still, it's curious how a genre so highly localized in time and space could continue to resonate far beyond its point of origin. One thing that might account for surf's longevity is its comparative rigidity. For a genre that's all about freedom, there are a lot of rules to surf music. This dichotomy is part of its history. Even in surf's early days, there were arguments between those who claimed that the only true surf music was the original, instrumental version pioneered by groups like The Ventures, The Surfaris, and Dick Dale, and that the vocal surf of the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean, which substituted a pop sensibility for the earlier proto-punk guitar heroics, was bland imitation.
Regardless of your position on this issue, there are musical tropes from both schools that will forever be associated with surf: tremolo picking, long guitar slides, heavy reverb, surf beat drumming, and (sorry, purists) Brian Wilson-style back vocals and harmonies, all of which, when taken together or in part, have the ability to conjure up the optimism and warmth that made surf a worldwide phenomenon before the British Invasion. Think of surf as the Instagram filter of genres—an easy way to add a certain sun-kissed, nostalgic glow to any kind of song.
The last 10 years has seen an increasing number of bands that can loosely be grouped under the name "indie surf"—bands that are not in and of themselves surf bands (and most would never claim that genre tag), but who take advantage of one or more of the elements of surf to give their music a bright shot of California sunshine no matter their country of origin, chosen subject matter, or primary genre of choice. There are, of course, many bands who do play very traditional surf rock, or who rely so heavily on the genre's nostalgia factor that it's impossible to describe them any other way, but indie surf bands distinguish themselves by using only certain elements of the genre, or by combining them with other musical conventions to sidestep the "dad rock" uncoolness of straight surf for music, while keeping the genre's iconic "fun, fun, fun" factor at the forefront.
Here is a list of 10 indie surf bands on Bandcamp to soundtrack your summer days and nights, whether you're landlocked or live on perpetual island time. Unsurprisingly, many of the bands on this list hail from the genre's West Coast home turf, where surf's popularity has never really waned, but there's also groups from as far afield as North Carolina and the U.K. Consider this a shallow dip into the tidal pools of indie surf, a place to get your feet wet before paddling out into deeper waters.
Weirdo Shrine La Luz .
The current reigning queens of indie surf, La Luz's music falls somewhere between the two schools of surf music. While they can certainly rock a wicked instrumental (see "Sunstroke" off their first LP, It's Alive), they're also known for adding silky, sweet girl group harmonies and post-British Invasion garage pop organs to round out their increasingly haunting sound. Like the great original surf acts, La Luz's technical precision is difficult to overstate, and a joy to behold. Bandleader Shana Cleveland swings from mellow riffing to complex, Pentangle-style acid rock breakdowns, while also casually swinging her guitar around her head, layered over drummer Marian Li Pino's restless, whispery jazz beats. "I'll Be True," off second LP Weirdo Shrine is an excellent example of the band's ability to use surf guitar to add a certain evil spookiness to their songs of twisted love, notably here with Cleveland's liberal use of the whammy bar.
A Date with Bombón Bombón .
The most conventionally "surf" band on this list, las chicas del Bombón have been churning out surf-inspired nuggets from their home in San Pedro, California for several years now. Their recent release, A Date with Bombón, draws more heavily from garage and girl groups (see the chugging punk nugget "Somebody Told Me" or the twinkly "Dance Just Like Annette"), but "La Playa" from their debut LP, Las Chicas Del Bombón, is one of their best: a slice of lo-fi surf-pop with lyrics sung entirely in Spanish that teeters precariously, but doesn't fall off the board.
Fuck Marry Kill Daddy Issues .
If you crave something a little saltier than either La Luz or Bombón, North Carolina's dearly departed Daddy Issues might be what you're looking for: a modern girl gang of Shangri-Las in wetsuits rather than leather jackets, walking on the sand after staying out all night. This band's sound is overall drier and janglier than La Luz's wet atmospherics, but they share a talent for sultry guitar leads and floaty girl group harmonies, as on seductive come-hither tune "Wild Thing." Bonus: On earlier EP Double Loser, the band sings about falling in love with a slimy sea creature that only comes out at night, bringing in some '60s B-movie imagery to match their '60s-inspired sound. The song is coquettishly entitled "Sex on the Beach."
Tijuana Panthers
Max Baker Tijuana Panthers .
Compact Disc (CD), Cassette
Hailing from Long Beach, California, Tijuana Panthers have been churning out indie surf records for over 10 years. Though any of their releases are prime examples, the band's 2010 debut Max Baker is a classic of the genre, containing song after song of propulsive garage numbers accented with some serious surf drawing from both the vocal and instrumental strains. Like the Beach Boys' earliest tracks, most of the songs here cover normal, relatable topics like getting a haircut, wearing new shoes, and going to school (except for the one about the child molester).
Tough Age
Dream of Life Think of Death Tough Age .
Toronto bubblegum punks Tough Age aren't an indie surf band per se, but the ironic air quotes around their track "'Surf Music'" act as an interesting example of how surf can wash up fully-formed in the most unexpected places. Sandwiched between two numbers that lean towards the post-punk end of the musical spectrum, "'Surf Music" is an instrumental number with creaky guitar slide and driving lead that winks at its origins, but keeps it modern by foregoing the traditional accented surf beat.
Babewatch
Wasted Time Babewatch .
Cassette, Vinyl LP
It's hard not to like the earnest, high-energy tunes made by Babewatch, originally from Santa Cruz and now residing in Oakland, California. Though they've slapped themselves with the "dad rock" label, the reverb-soaked, guitar-heavy songs on last year's Wasted Time LP features far too much buzz and distortion to be that bland. Ultimately, it's just really good rock music with a distinctly laid-back, Californian twist. If there's any band on this list who could be considered the prototypical indie surf band, Babewatch would be it.
SadGirl
Vol. 3 - Head to the Mountains SadGirl .
Los Angeles-based SadGirl bridge the gap between the two schools of surf music, drawing as much from '50s pop idols as they do from early '60s instrumental surf. "Love Storm," off Vol. 3 – The Hand That Did the Deed, has a fuzzed-out Santo & Johnny-meet-Elvis vibe while "Going Down," off Vol. 3 – Head to the Mountains, harkens back to the most primal elements of surf—that reverb!—and reveals a grimy punk heart buried beneath the feel-good nostalgia.
The Frights
You Are Going To Hate This The Frights .
Though they've since moved towards a more polished, KROQ-ready sound, San Diego's The Frights were excellent purveyors of indie surf in their ultra-youth—these guys were in high school when their first recordings hit the scene. Their second release, the Fur Sure EP, features some gnarly instrumentals ("Wow, Ok, Cool") mixed in with cheeky, noisy punk tracks ("Del Mar Zombies") and even some vintage vocal surf ("Makeout Point"). Check out their cover of Death Lens' "Drag" on the two bands' split EP for a stellar example of how sparkly surf guitar can turn a pedestrian garage song into something special.
Dead Coast
Shambolic - Digital [BandCamp Exclusive] Dead Coast .
Surf music was as big in the U.K. in the 1960s as it was in the U.S., and there are still plenty of British bands with California dreams using surf rock to infuse their music with some much-needed rays. Dead Coast carry on that tradition on Shambolic, with surf elements in nearly every track. Though the majority of this record lifts from the post-Beatles psychedelia, notably Syd Barrett-era Floyd and the Doors, first single "Hills Made of Sand" is decidedly indebted to the spooky instrumental surf lines pioneered by Dick Dale.

Cool Ghoul from Northeast Ohio was played by George Cavender. The show was popular in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, appearing on several stations in the area. The first was VJAN-TV 17 in Canton, Ohio, VOAC-TV 67 and in Cleveland on VOIO-TV 19.
George has been a fan of the classic horror film ever since his father brought home his first copy of Famous Monster's of Filmland magazine in 1960. Cavender has studied the careers of Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney and Vincent Price, to name a few. And it was a chance encounter with Vincent Price, while on a lecture tour, that led Cavender to revive the show in 1984 on VOAC-TV. One of his favorite mentors was Ghoulardi. Host of early 60's horror in Cleveland, Ohio. George's father was killed in a car accident in 1965 and he credits horror presenter Ghoulardi with getting him through the ordeal.
His fascination with movies did not stop with horror. He also developed a love for theater and, with his mother's encouragement, acted in many plays in high school, college and community theater, playing roles as diverse as Matthew Harrison Brady in Inherited Wind, the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard. from Oz and Sherlock Holmes in the drama of the same name.
In 1971 at the age of 16, George Cavender got his first chance to play the role of The Cool Ghoul when he made an appointment with the station manager of VJAN-TV. He drew set posters, had an outline for the show and created his presentation. After he finished, there was a long silence. Station Manager Don Crump leaned across the table and said, "When can you start?" Stunned by the response, George said, "Give me a week." With so little time, and having lived in Cincinnati for a few years, he was a fan of The Cool Ghoul in the area, played and created by Dick Von Hoene. He invited him to VKSIX-TV and explained the situation. Amused by George's age, he gave him permission to use his personality.
Over the years, the personality has undergone a huge transformation. The only similarity to the movie version of The Cool Ghoul from Cincinnati is the make-up and hair color, but George was always very grateful to Dick von Hone, giving him the opportunity to start.
The irony continued when George went to work for VOIO-TV in Cleveland, Ohio. As IT manager, he was transferred to VXIX-TV in Cincinnati, VOIO's sister station, and worked with Dick Von Hoen's brother.
George Cavender's Cool Ghoul has partnered with many charities including the Jerry Lewis Telethon, the Make a Wish Foundation and Bowling for Kids to name a few.
Cavender is a native of Canton, Ohio. Home of the Football Hall of Fame. He attended Kent State University and the University of Cincinnati, majoring in theater. He recently hosted a show, during the Halloween season, on Warner Cable from Northeast Ohio and currently plans a monthly webcast on his site.

Transforming Preclinical Research: New Approaches in Translational Science
PDF Price Choose an optionCorporate License Clear
Increasingly, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are regarding the preclinical stage of drug development as the most crucial when considering where to focus their R&D investments. Ten years ago, the dream was to use automation to develop and screen millions of compounds. This approach has not entirely panned out. Now, the focus is on improving understanding of animal models of disease, and animal modeling of human toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Discovering that a drug candidate has unfavorable toxicity properties before clinical trials have started can save untold millions. Yet many drugs continue to fail only after these clinical trials have been carried out, requiring enormous costs of time and money.
While the clinical stage is too late to discover that a drug is doomed to fail, earlier stages of the drug discovery process (synthesis, screening and lead optimization) have not produced the rewards that past investments in automation and other technologies hoped to achieve. Thus, despite many complexities, the preclinical stage is the optimal place to introduce new technologies and new methods in efforts to make the overall process better.
In Transforming Preclinical Research: New Approaches in Translational Science, SDi provides detailed information on the new trends, new methods, and new analytical technologies that are being applied to these challenges in drug discovery. In addition to background information on and analysis of the preclinical market, the report presents valuable market research on the analytical technologies most important to the preclinical stage of drug development. This includes information on market sizing and forecasts, market shares of vendors, geographic and end-user segmentations and forecasts, and an analysis of the competitive landscape.

Two Of The Men Who Brutally Attacked DeAndre Harris In Charlottesville Have Been Sentenced To Prison
Jacob Scott Goodwin received eight years and Alex Michael Ramos received six; each was found guilty of malicious wounding.
by Tonja Renée Stidhum
It's been a little bit over a year since Charlottesville, Virginia's white supremacist rally, which occurred on August 11, 2017.
The rally began the night before, when images of angry white males with tiki torches shouting Nazi slogans shook the nation and turned tragic when a woman was killed by one of the white supremacist demonstrators.
The rally wasn't a peaceful one before that young woman's death as frightening video of the brutal beating of a black man, DeAndre Harris, at the hands of several white supremacists near a police station proved.
Two of the men involved in the attack on Harris have finally gotten their comeuppance.
In two separate hearings on August 23, 2018, Jacob Scott Goodwin was been sentenced to eight years in prison, and Alex Michael Ramos was sentenced to six years in prison. Both men were found guilty of malicious wounding, NPR reports. Goodwin received 10 years in total, but two of those years were suspended.
Goodwin initially claimed he beat Harris in self-defense after seeing Harris throw a punch at the leader of a North Carolina white nationalist group. That man pressed charges against Harris; however, Harris was later acquitted of those charges.
Harris did not attend the hearings, as he "is working to put the beating behind him both physically and mentally," prosecutor Nina Anthony, said according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"I am truly and genuinely sorry for what happened to Mr. Harris," said Goodwin during sentencing, NBC 29 reports.
"I'm really sorry for everything I've done," Ramos reportedly told the judge.
Six men were seen attacking Harris in the video, but only four have been arrested in connection with the attack so far.
The other two people arrested in connection to the beating addition have been charged. Daniel Patrick Borden was found guilty, and his sentencing is scheduled for October 1. Tyler Watkins Davis, who faces one count of malicious wounding, is scheduled for arraignment on October 4.

So, so beautifully written, Stephanie! You really touched my heart—we have all, at one time or another, felt like you did that first day in a new school. Moving to a new place, being a stranger, feeling lonely and unwanted, those are such deep human experiences. As writers, we need to be grateful for the events that challenged us, and ultimately transformed us. Keep writing, Stephanie!
Yes, I agree that gratitude for the challenges and transformation is fodder for our pens. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughtful comments.
I really enjoyed reading this Stephanie. Very uplifting. It reminds me of when I was eighteen and invited to a Jewish wedding. The mother of the groom took great care in introducing me around. Questioning my interests and matching me up with like people. Trust you are settling down in your new home.
What a sweet woman she was to care in that way. As for settling in … it's a little like dust, it appears to settle until you crack the open the window for a bit of fresh air. Things take the time that they take, but we are liking here. Thanks for asking.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read . . . I appreciate you.
I moved to a small rural town six years ago and have ached to find a few close friends here. I got brave and started a lunch group and invited acquaintances to come and bring friends. We only met for a year, but I formed a few light friendships and one precious DEEP one that is worth its weight in gold. If I'd waited for someone to reach out to me, I'd still be sad and waiting. I loved your post!
A lunch group — that's lovely. I'm so glad that you met your "deep" friend from that. Courage, in all its shakiness is a beautiful thing. Big cyber hugs from you blogging friend . . .
Wonderful you've made a new friend who's welcomed you into the book club!
I know! The book group is tonight and I am so excited to meet new friends. Life is good. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read.
I have friends all over the country, but a pervasive feeling that too few of them live locally. I'm always anxious for more local friends, with very little sense of how to make them. When you not only became my friend, but also stood by me via the mail and blog during my second difficult summer in Seattle, it meant so much. Thank you for being a Jeannie Stein to me. Just as you only got a year with Jeannie, our time in the same geographic location was all too brief. But what's different now is that we have the internet, and we don't have to disappear from each other's lives.
And I am so honored to have been a Jeannie Stein for you. Grateful for the magic of the Internet and continued connection as we move forward. Big hugs, Alena now and always . . .

BYTON Shows Off Smart-Device-Centered Car with Super Huge Display
January 6, 2019 by Lynn Walford
The production version of the BYTON M-Byte is slated to debut in mid-2019, with mass-production starting at the end of the year.
BYTON, the premium intelligent electric vehicle brand, today revealed new details about its first production model, the M-Byte SUV, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019 in Las Vegas. Positioned as the next generation smart device, BYTON is designed for the future of autonomous driving when the automobile will become a mobile digital lounge.
A Digital Cockpit That Improves The Driver Experience
BYTON's Shared Experience Display (SED) remains the world's largest in-car display for a production automobile. It displays vehicle and driving information and offers various content options in an intuitive way. The position of the display has been carefully developed and tested to not affect driver line-of-sight and can automatically adjust brightness according to changes in ambient lighting to avoid further distraction. In addition, the SED will meet automotive safety standards as well as crash standards in all target markets.
The production M-Byte's user-interface and user experience (UI/UX) hardware will feature abundant shared and private screen space to capture and display a wide array of digital content – music, videos, photos, files, contacts, and more – intuitively and safely to users in any seat:
The 7-inch Driver Tablet pioneered by BYTON will be at the center of the steering wheel just above the driver airbag, serving as one of the main interfaces for the driver to configure the vehicle and interact with the SED.
An 8-inch BYTON Touch Pad has been added between the driver and the front passenger seats on the production model, enabling the front passenger to control the SED and enjoy the same interactive experience as the driver.
Rear passengers have access to independent rear-seat entertainment screens that also share content with the SED.
The front seats can be rotated inward 12 degrees, to create a space that is more convenient for passengers in the car to interact and communicate with each other when not in motion.
The dashboard features a new wraparound design with air conditioning vents, gear selector, and other hard buttons located in the center along with a driver monitoring system to ensure safety during assisted-driving modes.
Multiple interaction modes with the vehicle will be offered including voice control, touch control, physical buttons, and gesture control.
Enhanced User Experience & Personalized Mobility
BYTON users will have access to BYTON Life, an open digital ecosystem that connects applications, data, and smart devices. BYTON Life features advanced machine-learning capabilities that analyzes the user's schedule, location, preferences, and application data to provide intuitive support such as scheduling reminders, online shopping tasks, remote charging management, and more. It can recognize voices of different users and sounds from different directions in the car. In North American and European markets, BYTON has been cooperating with Amazon Alexa to jointly develop voice control. In addition, BYTON has also invited software developers from around the world to join BYTON's ecosystem and explore new possibilities for applications and content on BYTON Life's open platform.
Full-scale vehicle testing ahead of production
The production version of the BYTON M-Byte is slated to debut in mid-2019, with mass-production starting at the end of the year. To achieve this, vehicle testing continues in full swing to achieve the highest safety and quality standards of China, the US, and Europe. Meanwhile, BYTON's Nanjing plant is on-track to be completed this year and will be equipped with cutting-edge production equipment from leading global partners such as AIDA Engineering of Japan, and KUKA and DÜRR of Germany. The company is also working with key strategic investors FAW and CATL, and world-class suppliers Bosch, BOE, and Faurecia to integrate the world's best technologies and resources into its products.
"We have made solid progress in the construction of our Nanjing plant and prototype vehicle testing," said Dr. Daniel Kirchert, President and Co-Founder of BYTON. "This is a vital year for BYTON and our global team is sparing no efforts to achieve our goal of volume production."
About BYTON
It is not about refining cars. It is about refining life.
BYTON aspires to build premium intelligent electric vehicles for the future. Its crafted cars integrate advanced digital technologies to offer customers a smart, sage, comfortable and eco-friendly driving and mobility experience.

Q: ZIO, Release resources after execution I am playing with ZIO and built a simple application that get content via HTTP :
for {
  options <- Options.parse(args)
     http = HttpClient(args)
  content <- Download.execute(args.resource).provide(http)
} yield ()

It does the job but the client is backed by Play StandaloneWsClient and I would like to close it and terminate the actor system as described in the documentation: https://github.com/playframework/play-ws#scala-1
So I created a finaliser method but it seems that is has no effect:
// ...
content <- Download.execute(args.resource).ensuring(http.disconnect()).provide(http)

// ...
class HttpClient {
  // ...
  def disconnect():UIO[Unit] = ZIO.effectTotal {
    client.close()
    system.terminate()
  }

How can I instruct ZIO to call a finaliser method to free up my resources ?


We've been waiting what feels like forever for Top Chef alum Karen Akunowicz to launch her first self-owned venture in South Boston. (To be fair, the James Beard award-winner only left her Myers+Chang post in June; we were just, like, really eager.) The enoteca opened mere days ago, but we're already predicting that Akunowicz's 80-seat, aperitivo-oriented hangout will prove popular with those seeking interesting wines and exciting Italian plates.
Try this: Akunowicz perfected her pasta-making skills while working in Modena, Italy, so expect primi like wild boar Bolognese with thyme to set a high bar.
Hot tip: The wine list, offering 18 options by the glass and 20 by the bottle, was designed to showcase women winemakers— so sip around and discover something new.

Algebra and geometry can be brought to life with dynamic geometry software that allows the use of digital images. I will illustrate this statement by discussing how mathematical techniques, digital images, and dynamic geometry software can be used to analyze a real-world situation originating from poultry science. The topic is mathematical modeling of the shape of an egg, where the underlying question is: "What is the volume and surface area of a hen?s egg?". Although the practical investigation is meant for students at pre-university level or at undergraduate level, I will not present a model lesson on mathematical egg shapes. I will only discuss various modeling approaches using algebraic, geometric, and regression techniques, which are also applicable in similar investigative work, and I will discuss how dynamic geometry software, and GeoGebra in particular, can be applied as a modeling tool.
This article uses Java (1.4.2 or later) for several interactive applets created with GeoGebra. You may need to install or upgrade the Java plug-in.

Porter Named Hillsborough Offensive Player of the Year

Offensive Player of the Year: QB Deiondre Porter
Why We Picked Him
You need not look any further than his stat line. Porter threw for 3,199 yards and 33 touchdowns while adding 1,499 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground. His 4,698 total yards were the most by anyone in the state this season, eclipsing the second-best total by 479 yards. Porter's 53 touchdowns were also tops in the state. The accomplishments say a lot about Porter, a USF commit. But as far as he's concerned, it says more about his team as a whole. "That says that my coaching staff was doing something right, my O-line, my receivers and myself are all on one accord and we all have confidence in each other," Porter said. The Dragons' only losses came at the hands of Armwood, and in the second meeting in the second round of the 6A playoffs, Porter threw for 456 yards and helped the Dragons put up 48 points against a stingy Hawks defense.
Proudest Accomplishment
Porter was the starting quarterback for three seasons, taking over after the Dragons won the state championship in 2010. In each of the next two years after that title, the Dragons had winning seasons, but missed the playoffs. Porter said he is proud to have been able to lead his team to district runner-up honors and a playoff berth.
Porter, a three-star recruit, has orally committed to USF. The Bulls finished 2-6 this season, but Porter looks forward to helping turn the program around. He is excited about staying near his home to play at the next level. "I want to bring a championship back to my city," he said.
Porter comes from a family of talented football players. Porter's uncle, Derrick Gaines, was a running back at Florida A&M before spending three years in the NFL. His father, Fred Porter, was a defensive back for the Rattlers. A 5-year-old Porter followed in his family's footsteps when he began playing Pop Warner for the East Tampa Bandits, and the rest is history. "I'm built around football," he said.

Rev. Devin Lyles
Rochester Pillar Church, or The Pillar for short, is an inter-denominational fellowship of the United Methodist Church. According to their website:
We are an interdenominational community that is actively working to create a community that reflects the diversity of our city. We don't reject denominations. Rather we seek to honor our histories, but value unity over separation. We seek to bring all the best our traditions have to have to offer, and bring them into a space in which they can be understood and engaged with. We believe God desired and created diversity, and feel it is our responsibility to cultivate it in all we do. By encouraging each others unique gifts and difference, we hope to produce the sort of "good" community that can transform our city.
The Pillar is located in an old factory in the South Wedge. The church's space is 6400 square feet and consists of three large rooms, one used for religious services, along with several classrooms, and smaller offices. The original industrial feel was maintained through extensive use of recycled materials. They even used storage crates found in the building to make a wall cover/soundproof barrier and old windows for the speaker's podium.
Community Space
The building is also available for use as a community space, similar to Flying Squirrel. The Pillar also hosts stand-up comedy, live music, forums and discussions, job training, and other events and services for the general public. One room serves as a small cowork.
The church also operates North Wedge Market in the same building.
No alcohol is permitted on the site.
