Series 1-1-2-3 is a growing collection of individual mini series that each uses that each uses an underlying structural grid to produce horizontal and vertical lengths that measure either 1,2 or 3 units in length. When moving diagonally from top left to bottom right, the horizontal and vertical lengths will always follow a 3-2-1-1-2-3 pattern. Whilst mathematical in their approach, each Mini Series is a conspicuous instance of the intrinsic harmony of numbers. These numbers also relate to the first four numbers of the Fibonacci Series. A pre-determined process determines the juxtaposition of these diagonals leading to the final form produce. All pieces are created from drafting film stitched onto its backing with nylon thread.

Ilora Gillian Finlay, baronne Finlay de Llandaff, FMedSci (née le ) est un médecin gallois, professeur de médecine palliative et membre Crossbencher de la Chambre des lords.

Biographie
Elle est une ancienne présidente de la Royal Society of Medicine. Elle est professeur de médecine palliative à l'École de médecine de l'Université de Cardiff et consultante au Velindre Cancer Center de Cardiff. Le 28 juin 2001, elle est nommée pair à vie avec le titre de baronne Finlay de Llandaff, de Llandaff dans le comté de South Glamorgan.

En 2003, elle propose un projet de loi interdisant de fumer dans les bâtiments publics au Pays de Galles, trois ans avant sa mise en œuvre.

En 2007, Lady Finlay présente un projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire visant à changer le système actuel de don d'organes de « opt in » à « opt out ». Le calendrier parlementaire ne permet à ce que ce projet de loi soit adopté, mais le principe continue d'être débattu. Deux ans plus tard, elle réussit à changer la politique gouvernementale sur le don d'organes pour permettre aux donneurs d'organes potentiels de pouvoir indiquer à un membre de la famille ou un ami proche qu'ils souhaitent faire don de leurs organes.

En mars 2010, la baronne Finlay parraine le projet de loi sur les lits de bronzage qui est examiné par la Chambre des lords. À quelques semaines des prochaines élections générales, la baronne Finlay, avec l'appui du gouvernement et de l'opposition, fait passer le projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire de la députée Julie Morgan à ses dernières étapes, à la Sanction royale.

La baronne Finlay est coprésidente du groupe parlementaire multipartite sur le monoxyde de carbone, qui rassemble des parlementaires engagés dans la lutte contre l'intoxication au monoxyde de carbone. En octobre 2011, à l'issue d'une enquête de six mois qu'elle préside, le Groupe produit un rapport intitulé Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, comprenant un certain nombre de recommandations pour un changement de politique et de comportement. Lady Finlay préside également le Groupe parlementaire multipartite sur le bien-mourir, qui fait la promotion des soins palliatifs.

Elle est vice-présidente de Marie Curie Care, patronne du réseau de banques alimentaires du Trussell Trust au Pays de Galles et de la Motor Neurone Disease Association. Elle est également la patronne du Volontariat étudiant Cardiff. En 2017, elle est nommée l'un des deux patrons de la Royal Microscopical Society, l'autre étant la Baronne Brown de Cambridge.

En mars 2015, Finlay reçoit le prix Grassroot Diplomat Initiative Honouree pour son vigoureux champion de l'amélioration des soins aux patients mourants.

En 2020, Finlay est présidente de la Alcohol Harms Commission, qui recommande à l'Angleterre d'établir un prix unitaire minimum pour l'alcool.

Sil's Species
A female member of the species, albeit with remnants of human DNA.
Sil's Species are an unnamed, sexually aggressive alien species intent on spreading itself throughout the universe by infiltrating, breeding with, and annihilating the intelligent populations of other planets. It is capable of rapid growth and can bond its own DNA to that of other creatures through copulation, reproduction and other forms of genetic contact.
Origins Edit
Professor Herman Cromwell claims that the original species originated in the Large Magellanic Cloud (called the Magellanic Galaxy), the only other place in the universe where carbon-based life had apparently been discovered. It is also stipulated that they were a "cancerous" race that visited Mars millions of years ago when its surface was similar to that of Earth, and annihilated all life on its surface before leaving remnants of their DNA in its soil.
Mankind's first interaction with this particular species occurred in 1994 when the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Life) project received a pair of messages from outer space. The first message contained a more efficient use of methane, while the second contained a DNA sequence along with directions on how to mix it with human DNA. As the first message was seen as friendly contact, scientists went ahead and performed the fusion. Three living organisms were created, two of which were put into frozen stasis in liquid nitrogen, while the third (a female) was allowed to grow under the code-name "Sil". Sil was later succeeded by several more generations of the species spanning across 4 films (Species, Species 2, Species 3, and Species the Awakening)
Racial Characteristics & Abilities Edit
The Species basically appear to be bipedal (humanoid) forms with the exception of Patrick Ross, a male of the species in Species 2. Patrick Ross seems to have two types of alien forms: Bipedal and quadrupedal. Both genders of the Species have chitinous, skeletal bodies which are semi-transparent. The mouth has two mandibles similar to that of the Predalien and they possess hair-like tentacles that are similar to the Yautja.
Transform sequence of The Species appeared in Species III (Sara's transformation)
The species also has the ability to shape shift between human and alien forms, as well as a limited ability to morph their alien forms for the purpose of adaptation to given situations. The DNA structure of the species is extremely versatile and is constantly evolving and mutating which in turn gives them incredible regeneration abilities that render them immortal in the fact that they can only be killed by having every last bit of their body destroyed. Most of the members of the Species seen are actually mutations from humans, but a pure form is seen in the first film. It took on the form of a blobby, tentacled monster with a long mouth-like appendage that lashed out at whatever was nearby. The alien grew so fast that it would double in size in a matter of seconds. After a little over two minutes of life, it was killed by immolation. A similar creature is born from a female human astronaut infected by the alien DNA in Species 2. In Species 3, the purest of the aliens seen in the film was Sara, due to the fact that she was the daughter of the late Patrick Ross and the Sil duplicate Eve.
Males Edit
There are some examples of the male of the species in Species series. Most of them, like Sil, used tentaclelike tongue. But there are only two known examples of the full grown male of the species, who show alien form and alien abilities except the tentaclelike tongue.
Patrick Ross Edit
Patrick in his bipedal alien form
In the film Species 2, an American astronaut, Patrick Ross, was infected with the alien DNA while on a mission to Mars. When Patrick returned to Earth, the alien DNA that he was infected with soon transformed him into a human-alien hybrid. He then went on a mating spree, impregnating human females who would die shortly afterwards while giving birth.
Eve being impregnated by Patrick through a form of falatio.
As described above, Patrick is the only known hybrid to have two types of alien forms: Bipedal and quadrupedal. The bipedal form is a male version of Sil and Eve's. This form is only seen during the mating scene with Eve. The quadrupedal form is for combat and is more massive and brutish, like the Xenomorphs of the Alien films. The reason why he has two types of alien forms is not clear. but one is for sure, he was an infected, not a true hybrid.
Patrick splitting his head
When Patrick attack Dr. Laura Baker he used a tentaclelike tongue and it is like the mouth of Xenomorphs. In quadrupedal form, Patrick demonstrated the ability to split his head in two, thus forming a duel headed form. Between his heads emerged a long tentacle-penis which can be used to kill or even impregnate females by inserting itself into the female's mouth.
Yosef Edit
Yosef is one of the sons of Patrick Rose and appeared in Species 3. He had an extendable tentacle-penis which attempted to enter Sara's mouth, similar to the tentacle described above. This suggests that the female species in fact can be impregnated via oral intercourse.
Females Edit
The female of the Species is the most prominent as well as decidedly the most dangerous. The movies reveal numerous generations of the female species, each varying in appearance and abilities. It can be assumed that as the species procreates (whether with humans or other hybrids) it evolves and improves with each generation. However each generation share similar physical characteristics.
First Generation: Sil Edit
Alien-human hybrid "Sil"
The most prominent hybrid created by the species was "Sil". Fused with high quality human DNA, the alien DNA induced rapid growth, causing Sil to form into a visible fetus in a single day. In less than a month, she grew into a young girl on the verge of puberty. Sil exhibited great speed and strength, but also suffered from terrible nightmares brought on by her alien DNA. She later claimed that the nightmares "Tell me who I am." Ultimately, the research team decided creating Sil was a mistake and attempted to poison her with cyanide gas. Sil escapes the lab in which she was created and, while on the run, pupates by forming a cocoon of maroon-colored flesh similar in appearance to the pure alien form. She was horrified by this development and the process appears to be very painful. After a few hours, she emerged from her cocoon as a completely naked (it is unknown if her clothes were destroyed by the transformation or she removed them while in her cocoon; if so it is unknown why she did this) fully-grown (and consequently very attractive) woman.
While still somewhat shy and uneasy, Sil is able to quickly adapt to her surroundings, showing an incredible cunning as she blends into society. Sil also demonstrated an incredible ability to assimilate knowledge just by touch. For example, in a few seconds she has the ability to assimilate entire books simply by touch. How this phenomenon works is never explained. Besides speeding up her growth rate, augmenting her intellect/memory retention, and enhancing her physical abilities, the alien DNA also greatly enhances the most basic of animalistic impulses: the need to procreate. Pretty soon, Sil's alien libido takes over and, in a state of almost constant fertility (she seems to menstruate once), she attempts to mate with human males.
Sil's breast tentacles
Her human form is, in truth, merely a disguise and her true alien form is an exotic, sensual, alien mockery of the human form. Her form is chitinous and reptilian, somewhat reminiscent of the creatures from the film Alien, but still humanoid in appearance. Her "hair" is a mass of prehensile tentacles which are slicked back behind her head. She possesses two sets of teeth with the internal set being razor sharp. Her breasts, rather than storing fat or mammary glands, instead store long, slimy tentacles which emerge from her "nipples." She can use her breast-tentacles as weapons but they are also used in her amorous mating ritual (as shown in the second film). Sil has long sharp spines up her back that she can retract and extend at will. These seem to be utilized as a weapon in Species 2 by Eve. Last but not least, Sil's infamous tongue. Her long tongue is tipped with sharp spines and is her primary defense mechanism (or weapon). When threatened, she can simple impale her aggressor with her tongue. This "kiss of death" is shown in each of the franchise's films at least once. Sil's alien form is also capable of holding its breath underwater for an extended period.
Sil giving birth by opening her chest cavity.
In the first Species film, Sil eventually seduces and successfully copulates with Arden and she gives birth to a son mere hours later. While she is in labor, her abdomen bulges slightly with her rapidly developing child and her chest starts begins to separate. At the moment of birth, Sil's ribcage splits open and separates to reveal her newborn son. Sil's son does not survive for long, however, and is killed minutes after his birth.
There remains some conjecture as to how Sil's race conceives and what traits are passed on. Due to the changing nature the species and the diverse variations in subsequent generations, there is no way of knowing for sure. The real reason may lie with the low success of the Species film franchise as a whole.
Second Generation: Eve Edit
Eve in her alien form
The Species was recreated again using one of the frozen organisms that Sil originated from. This new life form was given the name Eve. Eve was a clone of the original Sil and was designed to be an "improvement." She was made less aggressive and slightly more docile by making her more "human." While Eve is much gentler than her late sister, her alien mating instincts are still very powerful. This is countered with special drugs to calm her sex drives, along with being completely isolated from the male sex.
Eve is, for the most part, identical to Sil with only a few minor differences. Eve's complexion is more violet while Sil's was a sickly tan. Her head tentacles are longer and hang behind her back more like hair. Eve also seems to have an exceptionally acute ESP ability, being able to telepathically communicate with members of her species. Her breasts, like Sil, also contain tentacles but are only used in her mating ritual. Eve, unlike Sil, does not kill humans.
In Species 2, the astronaut Patrick Ross, after a successful mission to Mars, became infected with traces of the species DNA found on the planet surface. The unknowing astronaut became a ticking time bomb. Upon his return to earth, he and his crew were given a heroes welcome. Patrick later slipped away from the festivities and slept with a debutante and her sister. During the lovemaking session between Patrick and the women, Eve began to sense the breeding of the recently infected human and the gestation of his first child with the first woman, who was in great pain as her womb expanded and the child ripped itself out of her body.
Sara in her alien form
Third Genration: Sara Edit
Sara is the daughter of Eve and Patrick. Eve gave birth to her in an ambulance. She was nurtured by Dr. Abbot for research to create a perfect alien DNA. Sara is similar in many points with Sil. But she is less aggressive than Sil and killed the least humans among female species appearing in the Species series
Sara uses her hair-like tentacle
In her alien form, Sara has a more scaly and tubular look than the aliens of the previous movies. She lacks the breast tentacles that Sil and Eve had, but instead she has four sharp "hair" tentacles which she can use to attack. She also has nail tentacles that Sil and Eve didn't have, and reaches it to pick up or attack at long range. Her eyes don't have reptilian pupils but instead they emit a blue glow. Her different appearance may be due to Patrick Ross.
Fourth Genration: Miranda Hollander Edit
Technology Edit
In the movie's novelization, it is mentioned that the signal that came to Earth was transmitted through several Black Holes which served to hide its point of origin.
It is unknown what level of technological achievement "The Species" are currently at; however, their mentioned mastery of black holes is a testament to their achievements. In the canon versions of both movies and their novelizations, the Species have no space travel capabilities. However, in a rejected Species II script, a space faring vehicle of some kind belonging to the original Alien race is mentioned. It does seem plausible (although not canon) that if the race is advanced enough to manipulate black holes, they would also have achieved advanced space travel.
In the second Movie Novelization "Species II". we learn that the species had once established a colony on Mars and consumed all of the planet's natural resources before moving on. It is unknown how they got to Mars and there is no mention of space travel , leaving it open to debate. However, a character speculates that the Species could be literally billions of years old. Their capabilities remain unknown but the human hybrids show an ability to learn and absorb information extremely fast and put that knowledge to practical use.
The Species life-form was designed by H.R. Giger, who created the Xenomorph prior to the creation of the Species. That explains why the aliens look so similar and yet different in their appearance.

Russian Pacific Fleet, Indonesian Navy Prepare Joint Exercise
The Russian Defense Ministry has published a press release stating that a working group of Navy officers from the Republic of Indonesia had visited Vladivostok on Tuesday March 10. During the negotiations of the representatives of the Russian Pacific Fleet and Indonesian Navy, the two sides agreed on the conditions of the first joint military exercise which will bear the name of "Orruda 2020". A planning conference was held at the Pacific Fleet officers' house, where officers of the combat training Department, the international military cooperation Department of the Pacific Fleet, and an Indonesian delegation discussed the preparations for the first Russian-Indonesian naval exercise "Orruda-2020". The parties have previously agreed on the location, timing and composition of participants of the upcoming exercise.
Russian-Indonesian relations were at their peak in the late 1950s and early 1960s when Moscow provided the bulk of Indonesia's military hardware, making the country's defences forces one of the best equipped in East Asia. Between 1959 and 1965, Russia gave Indonesia one cruiser, 14 destroyers, 14 submarines, eight anti submarine patrol vessels, 20 missile boats and several motor torpedo boats and gunboats. The Indonesian marine corps was also reinforced by armoured and amphibious vehicles, and naval aviation with ASW helicopters and Il-28 bombers. However, the honeymoon ended when Russia-Indonesia relations went into a freeze as the fiercely anti-communist Suharto allied himself with the US.
Indonesia has ordered a batch of amphibious armored vehicles from Russia to enhance the capabilities of its marines and replace ageing Soviet-era machines, operated by the military. Indonesia Marine Corps already operates over 50 BMP-3F and expected to get 22 BMP-3F and 21 BT-3F vehicles. BMP-3F is a modern infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), designed specifically to meet the needs of marines. While the vehicle is very light, weighing only some 18 tons, it packs quite a punch – it's equipped with a 100-mm gun, 30-mm autocannon. BT-3F is a armored personnel carrier (APC) version based on BMP-3F with the original turret replaced by a smaller remote weapon station with either 7.62, 12.7 or 14.5mm machine.

Q: Convert multiple column comma seperated string to json I have a following column in SQL table
column1 column2
12,13    abc,xyx

I am trying to convert to JSON from C#. I am getting a single row with comma separated in my ASP.Net MC. Not getting an idea how to proceed.
{
    "Details": [{
        "column1": "12",
        "column2": "abc"
    }, {
        "column1": "13",
        "column2": "xyx"
    }]
}

A: you can use  System.Text.Json
var model = new Model { column1 = "12,13", column2 = " abc,xyx" };
        int countCol=model.column1.Split(',').Length;
        List<Model> m = new List<Model>();
        for (int i = 0; i < countCol; i++)
        {
            var cols1Values = model.column1.Split(',');
            var cols2Values = model.column2.Split(',');
            var f=new Model {
                column1 = cols1Values[i],
                column2 = cols2Values[i]
            };
            m.Add(f);

        }
        var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(m);

output above code in json = [{"column1":"12","column2":" abc"},{"column1":"13","column2":"xyx"}]

AACR Annual Meeting 2019: Cancer Science With a Global Impact
Participants make their way up stairs and escalators to a March 31 session at the AACR Annual Meeting 2019 in Atlanta. More than 21,000 people attended the meeting.
Thousands of posters presented the latest findings in cancer research.
John D. Carpten, PhD, chair of the Annual Meeting 2019 Program Committee, spoke at the closing plenary session.
Richard Pazdur, MD, director of the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence, spoke at a session on cancer immunotherapy drugs.
Attendees listen to the opening plenary session of the AACR Annual Meeting 2019 in Atlanta.
The greatest minds in cancer science gathered March 29-April 3 for the AACR Annual Meeting 2019 in Atlanta. More than 21,000 cancer researchers, physician-scientists, advocates, and others from around the world came together to learn about the latest breakthroughs in clinical research, prevention and early detection, basic cancer science, and translational research. The meeting's theme was "Integrative Cancer Science • Global Impact • Individualized Patient Care."
A record 213 clinical trials were presented at the Annual Meeting and covered a wide range of cancer treatments: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and the two newest treatment pillars, molecularly targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Data from the phase III ADMIRAL clinical trial showed that treatment with the targeted treatment gilteritinib (Xospata) improved survival for a segment of patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), compared to those treated with standard chemotherapy. Gilteritinib targets relapsed or refractory AML that tests positive for a mutation in the FLT3 gene.
Data from the phase III MYSTIC trial demonstrated the utility of tumor mutational burden as a biomarker for treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The study found that a larger number of tumor mutations is a reliable indicator that an immune checkpoint inhibitor will be effective.
Results from the phase II DART trial showed that a combination of the anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapeutic ipilimumab (Yervoy) and the anti-PD-1 immunotherapeutic nivolumab (Opdivo) benefited patients with rare, high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma.
Findings in Prevention, and Preclinical and Translational Research
Results from several important studies were reported at the meeting.
The latest data were presented from the Cancer Prevention Study (CPS)-II Nutrition Cohort. More than 120,000 men and post-menopausal women without cancer were studied to determine the effect of physical activity on cancer risk associated with excess body fat (EBF). The data showed that an active lifestyle benefited study participants, even those with high body mass index, by lowering their risk for EBF-associated cancers.
A vaccine developed using four tumor antigens—molecules found on cancer cells that generate an immune response—produced antigen-specific responses, reduced intestinal tumors, and improved survival in a mouse study of Lynch syndrome. The findings suggest it may be possible to develop a cancer preventive vaccine for patients with Lynch syndrome. People with this condition have about an 80 percent lifetime risk for colorectal cancer and an increased risk for other cancer types, including small intestine, stomach, endometrial, bladder, and ovarian.
Several studies identified potential new molecular targets for developing breast cancer treatments, including BCL-2, FGFR, HDAC, and IGF-1/2.
Data from a nutrition intervention clinical trial showed that replacing dietary animal protein with plant-based protein decreased the levels of intestinal N-nitroso compounds. These compounds play an important role in the development of colon cancer.
NCI Leaders Speak
Two of the nation's most prominent leaders in cancer research and policy—Norman "Ned" Sharpless, MD, and Douglas R. Lowy, MD—took the stage March 31 during the Annual Meeting Opening Ceremony. At the time they spoke, Dr. Sharpless was the director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and Dr. Lowy was deputy director. Currently, Dr. Sharpless is the acting commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Dr. Lowy is the acting director of the NCI.
Dr. Sharpless praised the scientific advances that have led to lower cancer mortality rates since the 1990s. He said that progress in early detection, screening, therapy, and prevention will lead to strong declines in cancer mortality for years to come.
Dr. Lowy said the number of grant applications to the NCI has grown by about 50 percent since 2013, but the increased demand is unlikely to be met by an NCI budget that has grown
more modestly.
"The truism that we always run out of funds before we run out of promising research ideas is even more valid today than in the past," he said.
Policy Issues in the Forefront
The Annual Meeting featured two policy tracks, "Regulatory Science and Policy" and "Science and Health Policy." A highlight was a session titled "PD-1 Pandemonium: FDA Speaks With Industry on the Past, Present, and Future of PD-1 Drugs." In the session, Richard Pazdur, MD, director of the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence, gathered with representatives from six biopharmaceutical companies to discuss the past, present, and future of PD-1/PD-L1 drugs. These drugs are part of a class of cancer treatments called immune checkpoint inhibitors that remove the brakes on immune system T cells so they can destroy cancer cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors accounted for 21 percent of the FDA's oncology drug approvals in 2018, Dr. Pazdur noted, and in the past five years, they have yielded remarkable and durable responses for patients with a variety of cancers.
A Focus on Patients and Survivors
Progress against cancer has led to a growing number of cancer survivors, currently numbering about 16.9 million in the United States. In the Presidential Select Symposium titled "Engaging Cancer Patients as Partners in the Research Process," held March 31 and chaired by outgoing AACR president Elizabeth M. Jaffee, MD, participants examined the changing role of patients in cancer research.
"We are witnessing a culture shift in how patients participate in cancer research," said Dr. Jaffee, who is the deputy director of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. "This process is driven by patients, survivors, and their families, and it's becoming an integral part of cancer research."
Vernal Branch, who survived breast cancer 25 years ago and has been an active patient advocate since then, urged researchers to keep patients involved through all stages of their care, even inviting them into their labs when appropriate.
"If they're smart enough to understand their own health care," she said of patients, "they're smart enough to know what you're doing in the lab."
In a separate session focused on survivorship held March 31, Anna D. Barker, PhD, who chaired the session, identified numerous challenges facing cancer survivors, including cancer progression and recurrences or entirely new cancers, as well as a negative impact on quality of life. Dr. Barker is director of the National Biomarker Development Alliance, director of Transformative Healthcare Knowledge Networks, co-director of Complex Adaptive Systems, and professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University in Tempe.
One of the results of having larger numbers of patients living longer, Dr. Barker said, is that more cancer survivors will be living into their 80s or 90s.
"I don't think we're prepared for it in the health system or for the economics that this will entail," Dr. Barker said of a large, aging survivor population.
The Annual Meeting garnered national and international media coverage. Key media outlets included the Associated Press, CNN, NBCNews.com, Time, CBS Evening News, Forbes, STAT, Nature, and Science. The meeting was covered internationally by media outlets from Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Egypt, India, China, Japan, and South Korea.
On March 30, the AACR hosted a community event called "Progress and Promise Against Cancer," in partnership with Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta to educate the community about cancer clinical trials and cancer risk reduction. Speakers emphasized cancer health disparities—differences in health outcomes due to race, income level, education, the area where one lives, and other factors. The event was hosted by Elaine R. Mardis, PhD, who became AACR president during the Annual Meeting. Dr. Mardis is co-executive director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
In the closing plenary session, titled "AACR Annual Meeting 2019 Highlights: Vision for the Future," on April 3, Dr. Jaffee; John D. Carpten, PhD, chair of the Annual Meeting 2019 Program Committee; and Marcia R. Cruz-Correa MD, PhD, and Patricia M. LoRusso, DO, vice chairs, provided an Annual Meeting overview on the topics of prevention, early detection, interception, and breakthroughs in cutting-edge basic, translational, and clinical research, and discussed future directions for these disciplines. Dr. Carpten is director of the Institute of Translational Genomics at the Keck School of Medicine of USC in Los Angeles. Dr. Cruz-Correa is professor of medicine and biochemistry at the Comprehensive Cancer Center of the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan. Dr. LoRusso is associate director of Experimental Therapeutics at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut.
Dr. Mardis concluded the session by saying, "I'm so excited to be here and to be your president for the upcoming year. I'm looking forward to all the roles that I will play in support of this wonderful organization."

U.S. General Says Afghan Forces Called For Kunduz Airstrike
By Brakkton Booker
Published October 5, 2015 at 12:50 PM EDT
Injured Doctors Without Borders staff are seen after an airstrike in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz on Saturday. Doctors Without Borders has called the incident a war crime.
The U.S. airstrike this weekend that hit a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, killing 22 civilians, was requested by Afghan forces, according to the top U.S. general in Afghanistan.
Gen. John Campbell, addressing reporters Monday at the Pentagon, said Afghan forces advised they were taking fire from Taliban insurgents and asked for U.S. air support. Campbell said he wanted to correct initial reports suggesting U.S forces were under threat and that the strike was carried out on their behalf.
"We have now learned that on Oct. 3 Afghan forces advise they were taking fire from enemy positions and asked for air support from U.S. forces. An airstrike was then called to eliminate the Taliban threat and several civilians were accidentally struck," Campbell said. He added later, "Unfortunately, the Taliban have decided to remain in the city and fight from within, knowingly putting civilians at significant risk of harm."
Campbell offered condolences and vowed to take "all necessary steps to avoid future casualties." He also told reporters that the protocols for training and support that the U.S. provides for Afghan forces have not changed.
Speaking on NPR's Weekend All Things Considered on Sunday, Doctors Without Borders Executive Director Jason Cone called the incident in Kunduz a "war crime" and called for an independent investigation. Cone said:
"So all told, we have 22 deaths related to this bombing, including three children. So it's one of the darkest couple of days in our organization's history, and we're disgusted with what has happened. We're under the clear presumption that a war crime has been committed, and we're demanding that a full and transparent investigation into the event be conducted by an independent international body.
"We respect the statements by President Obama, the secretary of defense, but we feel very strongly given the nature of the events that relying only on an internal investigation by a party to the conflict would be wholly insufficient."
When asked whether the carnage in Kunduz amounted to a war crime, Campbell said only that the Pentagon would coordinate with other investigations.
"We're going to do everything we can for this case to be open and transparent. ... If there are other investigations out there that need to go on, we'll make sure we'll coordinate those as well."
As the Two-Way reported over the weekend, "Kunduz, which briefly fell to the Taliban last week before a government counteroffensive, is reportedly experiencing a growing humanitarian crisis. Even so, [Médecins Sans Frontières] says it has all but abandoned its Kunduz hospital in the wake of the attack."
NATO says it has ordered a multinational investigation. The Afghan government so far has said only that it is conducting an investigation of the airstrike.
Campbell said his senior investigator, Brig. Gen Richard Kim, is currently in Kunduz and would likely have a preliminary report available "in the next couple of days."
"If errors are committed, we'll acknowledge them," Campbell said. "We'll hold those responsible accountable, and we'll take steps to ensure mistakes are not repeated."

Q: Properly closing JDBC connection objects As far as I understood, closing the connection objects in finally block is the best practice. However, if rs.close() / ps.close() throws an exception at the finally block, it won't execute the conn.close(). Therefore I used to close connections at two positions (as in sample provided), once directly after use, and secondly additionally in a finally-block using a check for null. But some consider block 1 as redundant code. Is it really redundant or is there proper way to address this issue without closing the connection in two places?
Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement ps = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
    conn = dataSource.getConnection(); // geting the connection object
    ps = connection.prepareStatement(INSERT_QUERY);
    rs = ps.executeQuery();
    // some logic here ...
    // ---- block 1 ----
    ps.close()
    ps = null;
    rs.close();
    rs = null;
    conn.close();
    conn = null;
    // ---- end block 1 ----
} catch (SQLException e) {
    // exception handling ...
} finally {
    closeQuietly(conn, ps, rs);
}

private void closeQuietly(Connection connection, PreparedStatement ps, ResultSet rs) {
    if (rs != null) {
        try {
            rs.close();
        } catch (SQLException e) {}
    }
    if (ps != null) {
        try {
            ps.close();
        } catch (SQLException e) {}
    }
    if (connection != null) {
        try {
            connection.close();
        } catch (SQLException e) {}
    }
}

A:
is there proper way to address this issue without closing the connection in two places?

Yes:
try (Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection(); // geting the connection object
    Prepared Statement ps = connection.prepareStatement(INSERT_QUERY);
    ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();) {
    // ...
}

This is the 'try-with-resources' syntax. Everything declared inside the () after the try is guaranteed to be closed.

A: Yes, it would be called twice if everything goes fine with your code. That's the reason, people prefer to close any sort of connections (jdbc, stream etc) in the finally block.
As you know, The finally block gets executed whether program executed correctly or not.
So, I would recommend that you should not closing code after the use.

Jitendra

A: Block 1 is indeed redundant, as closeQuietly will always run due to the finally block.
closeQuietly does the right thing:
As each resource is surrounded by its own try-catch block, the code to cleanup the connection will run even if the block closing the statement or resultset throw exceptions: Those exceptions will be caught and ignored by their try-catch blocks.

Academic work is not always thought of as a process of discovery; in practice, it is also often considered a mode of labour in which the end-product and its revelations are regarded as foregone conclusions. For Philament 25, themed "Revisions," we would like to invert this notion to explore the ideas of possibility and play in academic work. Despite the seeming inevitability of various scholarly projects, this volume invites contributors to ask: How might we imagine things to have been different? How could things have otherwise turned out? What if something had gone differently? In this spirit, we invite articles, excursions, and reviews that consider the notion of a rereading, a reimagining, and/or a revision.
Submissions deadline: 15 December, 2018.
Please note: This CFP is now closed. Please contact the editors is you have a submission that you wish to be considered for a possible second issue in this volume: philament.usyd@gmail.com.
This is an open call for papers; any postgraduate or early-career scholar may submit a contribution. Please note, however, that this special volume of Philament arises out of a conference that took place at the University of Sydney in early 2017.
Philament, the peer-reviewed, open access, online journal of arts and culture based at the University of Sydney, invites submissions from postgraduate students and early career academics for its twenty-third issue.
This special edition of Philament will publish scholarly articles on the above theme of up to 8,000 words, creative works of all kinds ("Excursions") up to 2,500 words, and book reviews broadly relevant to the theme up to 2,000 words. Submissions should be original, not previously published, and not under consideration elsewhere. Scholarly articles must include endnotes and conform to our Submissions guidelines.

Park City, hit hard, deploys the snowplow fleet
Park City Park-city |
by Jay Hamburger THE PARK RECORD
Skiers and snowboarders were giddy this week as the snow piled up.
But many drivers were probably grumpy.
It would have been even worse on the roads if not for Park City's snow-removal efforts. The Public Utilities Department, the successor to the Public Works Department, is responsible for snowplowing roads and many walkways inside Park City. The crews were seen repeatedly in some places during the snowstorms, clearing the road as the snow piled up again and again.
There have been few snowstorms in Park City in recent years as relentless as the one that hit as Christmas approached. Crowds were large and traffic was expected to be bad even before the storms arrived.
Troy Dayley, the streets supervisor and one of the City Hall staffers who oversees the snowplowing and snow-removal efforts, said on Wednesday the operations were going well.
"Back when it used to snow like this, we developed a plan," Dayley said.
The snowplows move through Park City on a priority basis. There are three priority levels for streets and another three for walkways. The street priorities are especially notable since they provide a rundown of which roads are plowed first.
Streets classified as a first priority are generally in Old Town. Some major roads in other neighborhoods are also in the first-priority grouping. The first-priority roads in Old Town are some of Park City's narrowest streets, making driving especially difficult with snow on the road. The first-priority streets outside of Old Town are heavily traveled as drivers make their way between neighborhoods and commercial districts.
Second-priority roads include streets in the Aerie, some streets in Prospector and large stretches of streets in Park Meadows. Roads designated as third priorities are generally on the edges of neighborhoods.
The Utah Department of Transportation, meanwhile, is responsible for plowing the two state highways — S.R. 224 and S.R. 248 — that travel through Park City.
The crews on Wednesday night started a hauling operation along Main Street to remove the snow that had piled up. The workers used heavy machinery to load dump trucks. The snow was then taken to a storage area at Quinn's Junction. The hauling frees up space on the sides of the road. The hauling continued Thursday morning.
Once there is a break in the weather, Dayley said, the snowplows will return to the neighborhoods to push snow to the gutters, making additional road surface available. A hauling operation like the one on Main Street is not yet planned in neighborhoods.
Alison Kuhlow-Butz, the executive director of the Historic Park City Alliance, which represents businesses on and close to Main Street, said the snow haul Wednesday night and Thursday morning was an important step. It was difficult for people to walk across the street anywhere but intersections with the banks of snow at the curb, she said. Kuhlow-Butz said she had not received a complaint about the snow-removal efforts along Main Street.
"I do think the snow removal is as good as you can get," she said, noting the amount of snowfall and the duration of the storm.
Dayley said the crews worked 24 hours a day starting last weekend. The department's snow-removal fleet consists of eight snowplows, three front-end loaders and three plows designed for sidewalks. It is the responsibility of the residents and businesses, though, to shovel sidewalks outside their places in most locations. The municipal crews shovel sidewalks on Main Street, Park Avenue and Kearns Boulevard.
Park City operates two phone lines for people calling about snow removal. The daytime line, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on business days, is 615-5301. The after-hours line is 615-5346. Dayley said the department by Wednesday afternoon had received fewer than 10 calls from people lodging complaints or requesting snowplows be dispatched to certain streets. Approximately the same number of people had complimented the work of the snow-removal crews, he said.
"We're keeping up," Dayley said, adding, "We're not losing ground."
Republic Services, the trash and recycling hauler, said in a recorded message trucks are having difficulty providing services even with chains on the tires. Trash and recycling containers would not be dumped on the regularly scheduled day, it says. The message asks people to leave containers curbside and the trucks will dump them as soon as possible. Drivers will work on Saturday and Sunday, the message says. If a truck does not reach a home or business this week, the company will take away material left next to the container on the next scheduled pickup day, according to the message.
Dayley, though, said people should not leave trash and recycling cans outside overnight because they could hamper the snow-removal efforts.
The organizers of an annual gay ski week in Park City have canceled the event this year, citing the continued spread of the novel coronavirus as the reason.

NGO suspends operations amid increased displacement in the east

Numbers of internally displaced persons has increased in North and South Kivu provinces
KINSHASA, 28 June 2007 (IRIN) - Violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has forced non-governmental organisations to limit operations in some areas in North and South Kivu, officials said, even as more people are displaced.
On 25 June, armed men wearing military uniforms attacked two vehicles belonging to Solidarité Internationale in Kisharo in the Rutshuru territory of North Kivu. A vehicle was looted.
Kemal Saiki, spokesman for the UN Mission in Congo (MONUC), said the incident followed a similar one several days earlier in the same area. Attacks against humanitarian actors had also occurred in South Kivu where an NGO storehouse in Uvira was plundered on 20 June.
Regis Mathon, Solidarité's coordinator in eastern DRC, said the recent attack had forced the agency to stop some operations. "We have suspended our activities in Rutshuru territory after this attack," he said, adding that the NGO would, however, remain in other areas of the east. "Our vehicle was attacked by armed men who are hard to identify," he added.
The agency "suspended activities in the area controlled by the troops of dissident [Congolese army] General Laurent Nkunda as security conditions deteriorated", Saiki said on 27 June.
Similar attacks had displaced more civilians in Kiwandja, Nyamilima, Ishasha and Kisharo, all in North Kivu, where 42,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) had gathered since February.

Map of South Kivu
In South Kivu, increased tension due to army operations against fighters of the Forces démocratiques pour la libération du Rwanda (FDLR) and a Congolese militia known as the Rastas had caused more displacement in June.
Saiki said a joint evaluation mission by MONUC and humanitarian actors toured Kisharo, Nyamilima and Ishasha areas last week and noted that almost daily attacks were being committed against civilians, either by the FDLR or by soldiers from the mixed brigades.
In some parts of the two provinces, mixed brigades exist alongside troops loyal to Nkunda, who have not been integrated into the Congolese army. There are also integrated troops and fighters from armed groups, usually foreigners, such as the Rwandan FDLR.
"MONUC deplores these incidents, which are occurring while response mechanisms are being explored between MONUC and the concerned actors," Saiki said.
MONUC, he added, was also concerned about the political manoeuvres of Nkunda's Congrès National pour la Défense du Peuple (CNDP), because it was pushing civilian authorities to close IDP camps in Kichanga, Mweso in Masisi territory and Nyanzale, Rutshuru territory.
The CNDP was also imposing taxes on the populations and putting in place its own administration. As a result, about 5,000 families displaced from Kisharu, representing an estimated 25,000 people, remain without assistance because of the high risk to aid workers of attacks by armed groups in the area.

Another 2,299 families - 11,495 people - had arrived in Kisharu, Saiki said.
Nkunda, initially a commander in the former rebel movement, Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie (RCD), was integrated into the regular Congolese army but declined to take up his position and continues to stage attacks in the east.

The London Move to Electric Cars is Serious Business
by Dr. Kent Moors | published August 14th, 2019
Anybody who travels to European cities on a regular basis can tell you about the plans afoot to clean up urban air.
Several of these cities, Frankfurt for example, have restricted or outrightly banned diesel vehicles. Others, like Paris, are limiting access for motor bikes during certain parts of the week. And many have frequent readings of air quality, changing traffic patterns and access routes accordingly.
Much of this is the result of all European nations signing on to the Paris Climate Agreement. But by any measure, there is overwhelming public support for the changes.
It has even led to some initiatives taking hold in which people are encouraged to leave the car at home and take public transport or trains. It probably helps that in Europe, unlike the U.S., intercity rail transport actually works.
Norway is the leading electric car nation in the world, with Oslo the number one city for such vehicles. Meanwhile, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Dublin, and even Madrid have begun, or are well into, confronting the problems of central city air quality.
Well, one these days we'll need to add London to the growing list.
New Prime Minister Means New Changes
New UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come out in favor of a major reversal in carbon emissions with particular emphasis on the capital city.
Of course, given that he is also likely to be overseeing a UK crash out of the European Union (a hard Brexit) at the end of October, jolly ol' Boris may have other matters to worry about.
Well, a while back, I attended a meeting in the House of Lords at Westminster. The occasion was a frank and open discussion about lowering the emissions in central London. At that time, I was struck by the range of city and administrative groups supporting rather drastic changes in how traffic gets around in London, especially in the often heavily congested central part of town.
Progress has been made since then.
In April, the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was introduced to deter drivers from entering certain congested areas of the city (read about it here). This involves a £12.50 daily charge operating 24/7 and will expand by 2021 to the main A406 rout circling the city proper.
There has also been a major increase in hybrid buses within the city and an increasing number of traditional London black cabs taking up the LEVC TX variant. This is the London Electric Vehicle Company's electric version of the classic black cab.
But what has also been gaining traction, even amongst those who have opposed in the past, is a rapid switch to electric vehicles.
You're About to Lose All Your Cash (Unless You Follow These Directions)
See that picture to the left? That could be you by Christmas, Thanksgiving, or even Labor Day. There's no stopping this rapidly failing market, as evidenced by all the factors working against us now. In fact, there are multiple ways that prove the market is primed for another disaster, and market expert Matt Piepenburg has each of these ways outlined for you – plus one way that YOU can prevail while all others fail. To learn more about how to protect your money when all hell breaks loose, and to sign up for Matt Piepenburg's Critical Signals Report, click here.
The New Plan to Switch to Zero-Emissions
Take the high-visibility Sunday Times.
On Sunday, the newspaper noted that the advent of electric cars replacing internal combustion engines in London center would be a very positive development.
But an article entitled "An inconvenient truth about electric cars" laid out one of the main problems: there are few charging stations in the city.
The problem is certainly understood. At our House of Lords meeting, it was a topic of specific discussion. At the time, representatives of the London local government and its Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Task Force (EVITF) created by the mayor committed to dealing with it.
The result was unveiled a few weeks ago.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and EVITF announced a detailed plan to move the city to zero-emissions transport as fast as possible.
According to that plan, the government intends to provide at least 50,000 electric vehicle charge points by 2025 (the full executive summary of the report can be accessed right here).
Screenshot of charging stations in London from Plugshare
According to Khan, air quality is now the worst in the city's history. The mayor also seems to have a personal stake in all of this; he apparently developed asthma as an adult and the city's air pollution has contributed to it significantly.
The House of Lords Will Convene on this Change
As early as next year, the City of London will install 300-400 fast charge points, and by 2025 the number of rapid chargers is aimed to increase to 2,300 to 4,100. Another mix of slow-to-fast EV charging points are aimed to grow from 3,400-4,700 in 2020 to 33,700-47,500 by the year 2025.
Khan said: "If we aspire to truly transform the quality of our air – and preside over a steep and meaningful reduction in our carbon emissions – we must move away from petrol and diesel cars, and towards electric and hydrogen vehicles. Bringing about this sea change won't be easy, but with the right political will and ambition, I'm confident we can pull it off.
"I'm proud that London is one of the first major cities in the world to publish a detailed and independently-assessed climate action plan that outlines how we will comply with the Paris Agreement. A big part of this plan is aiming for all new cars and vans on our roads to be zero emission from 2030."
"We need to reject the fossil fuels of the past and embrace an electric revolution in London's transport. To truly transform the quality of our air and to tackle the climate crisis London must move away from petrol and diesel cars, with their catastrophic impact on the environment, and towards zero-emission vehicles."
Details of the plan's roll out is contained in a statement from Khan available on the City of London's website (click here to read it)
Another follow-up meeting, once again at the House of Lords, is being scheduled. I'll let you know what transpires, how London is faring in all of this, and how likely the targets set out by the mayor are to be met.
This may become very interesting. And not just for London.

Morgue <-----is going to drive safe, and buckle up.
Very sad... I watched the whole thing.
Wow, I got through the whole thing...Never am I going to drive over the speed limit again. Too many kids in the clip but the message needs to be spread.
I saw this on another forum, and wanted to post it here. I'd post in the the BP forums, but we all know Habrok or one of the other mods would simply lock and delete.
I myself am not a bad driver, but I do get carried away every now and then on the back country roads. After watching this, I can't even think about going over the speed limit or doing the crazy stuff I did anymore. Most excuses when stuff like this happens, is that they never saw the person. Well, obviously you didn't or else you wouldn't of hit them.
I hope this drives home to a lot of you guys like I did for me.
have u guys seen the one with the girls lol?

Don't let it discourage you. Getting my Permit, and later my License was probably one of the biggest achievements of my life. It gives you a feeling of independence. Just let that video be a reminder to drive safe.
I was so moved by the video that I posted on the pub forum (spreading the word).
Can not believe how people can drive under the influence of various substances just wrong.
It only takes a second to put out another person's life, we all have an option to think about what we do befor we do it.
The problem is too much in man's vision of freedom, if you commit a crime and fail u get hunted by the law. During that time human psyche is under incredible pressures that lead to ill-considered things.

Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez: Are They Really Engaged?
Rumors flew earlier this week that Halle Berry had gotten engaged to her beau of more than a year, French actor Olivier Martinez. And a spokesperson for jewelry company Gurhan confirmed on Wednesday they had supplied the ring.
But a source close to the actress tells us that Berry said just last week that she is not engaged – even after she was spotted wearing the new emerald and diamond ring.
A U.K. rep for Gurhan now says the company doesn"t know for sure that Berry is even wearing their ring.
"Although Halle is a great fan of Gurhan we cannot confirm that she is wearing a Gurhan design," the company said in a follow-up statement.
Reps for the company have not responded to requests for further comment as to why they initially confirmed it was an engagement ring.
Reps for Berry, 46, and Martinez, 45, have refused to comment on the status of the couple"s relationship, and a new TMZ.com report also cites sources saying the two are not engaged.
Amid the mystery, what"s certain is that the ultra-secretive couple are going strong – engaged or not.
They spent New Year"s together in Malibu, Calif., with Berry"s daughter Nahla, and were recently spotted on a date night, taking in a Cirque du Soleil show, Iris, and sharing an intimate dinner at Katsuya in L.A.
In Olivier, "Halle has found a rock to lean on," says a source close to the couple.
