You may submit your article by supplying a presentation letter written in a colloquial style in which you summarize the main conclusions of your article and briefly describe any special events occurred during the research.
The author may also include the names of the coauthors and the acknowledgements he may consider adequate.
Please address it to SIIC Editor-in-Chief.
The manuscript should be written in English. Manuscripts are then translated into Spanish by SIIC and edited both in Spanish and in English.
Authors who are unsure of proper English usage should have their manuscripts checked by someone proficiency in the English language.
Manuscripts might be rejected on the basis of poor English or lack of conformity to accepted standards of style.
If your native language is other than English, you must also submit it in that language. In this case, follow the Guidelines in Stage 4. It would then be published in three languages.
The author will choose the style and format for his article. Articles of scientific journals belong to the following principal types (original articles, reviews and meta-analysis, articles of opinion, descriptive articles [case reports, observational articles, short reports, special communications, etc.], consensus statements and clinical practice guidelines, correspondence, review of books or of articles published in other sources).
In these Guidelines, we consider the first two types.
Those articles that describe the results of original research, for example randomized and controlled studies, case and control studies, observational studies, series of cases (clinical or preclinical [in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo, in silico]), must have an Abstract, an Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Conclusions.
The Introduction is a short reference of the general aspects and importance of the subjects to be addressed. The last sentence of the Introduction must refer to what authors are about to present and describe.
The Materials and Methods section describes the sample (whose size will be variable), the origin of the analysed data, if it is retrospective or prospective, the statistical methods used, and the analysis of the statistical significance, if needed.
In Results and Conclusions the authors must compare their results with those obtained by other colleagues and clearly state the conclusions at which they have arrived.
Review articles collate, summarize and review the available information on a particular topic. As very often clinicians use reviews as guides for clinical decisions it is very important that this type of article should be systematic, include relevant data and not be overly influenced by the opinions and biases of the authors. Reviews should specify the methods used to search for, select, and summarize the information.
A Meta-analysis is a review article that includes statistical techniques that analyze results from independent studies.
Authors will include subtitles in the review if they feel it is appropriate.
To make reading easier and to provide the key points of the work, write a concise, specific and informative title.
Mention the main topic of your article in no more than 10 words.
The abbreviated titles appear at the top of the page of the article, together with the bibliographic reference (journal name or abbreviation, volume number, date of issue and page number).
Extension: Articles should be written in Word text files or other compatible program. SSEA allows you to choose between sending either Brief and Long versions of your article or a Single version. Therefore, either submit your article in two versions of different length or only one single version.
Brief Article: It will be published in the printed journals of SIIC: Salud(i)Ciencia (ISSN 1667-8982), Trabajos Distinguidos and others.
The Brief Article will be of between 2500 and 3000 words in length.
If you submit the Brief Version of your article, it means that you will submit the Long Version as well. Therefore, when you upload the first one SSEA will tell you to upload the other one.
Long Article: it will be published on http://www.siicsalud.com (ISSN 1667-9008).
The Long Article will be of 5000 words in length.
If you choose to write only one version, it should be no longer than 3000 words.
If you wish to write a longer article because you believe it is worth it, ask SIIC for permission by sending a message toMessages to SIIC.
In Original Articles, as well as in Reviews, the abstract, the key words, tables, figures and bibliographic references are not included in the length limit.
When describing the statistical analysis, the authors should clearly notify which methods have been used. When data are shown in tables, the statistical methods used should be detailed in a footnote for each method. Specify which statistical software was used.
Identify drugs by means of their generic name and the natural or synthetic chemical compounds used. Avoid mentioning trademarks and commercial names. Write this terminology according to Descritores de Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) .
Avoid using ordinary words that are known as noisy or superfluous words, i.e. health, medicine, study, patients, etc.
SIIC Data Bases, the same as the main data bases around the world, ignore these words because they lack identity and, in most cases, they do not contribute to delimit the topic.
If possible, use words with accurate meanings or key words.
1- Order: Type of reference (journal article, journal article in press, article in edited book, abstract), authors, journal title abbreviation, year, volume, number, pages.
2- The names and initials of authors should be given in full. If there are six authors, they should all be included. If there are more than six, include three authors followed by "et al.".
4- Unpublished work, work in preparation or personal communications should not be used as references but can be mentioned in the text.
5- Journal articles in press, articles in edited books and abstracts presented in congresses can be used.
If references link to an online journal, SIIC may include a hyperlink to that site provided the editor's authorization has been received.
Articles should be accompanied by an abstract written in English of between 220 and 250 words.
Avoid using abbreviations in the Abstract, with the exception of those used instead of the word or phrase they stand for. The Abstract should be a brief but accurate and informative synthesis of the article.
The scientific and literary quality of abstracts is appreciated by editors, readers and data bases.
If your article is an original article, divide the paragraphs by using subtitles (introduction, materials and methods, results, and conclusions). Include the objective of the research.
The Abstract will be the same for any of the three versions that you have decided to submit (brief, long or single article).
If your article is a review, you will include the objective, subtitles, results, and conclusions.
Provide, in a minimum of 50 words and a maximum of 75, the essence or succinct conclusions of your article. Do not use abbreviations with the exception of those needed to replace the complete name or phrase they stand for.
Provide 5 to 7 key words under which the paper can be indexed. Key words should be written according to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) .
KW will be included in accordance with their order of importance or weight in the article, i.e., the first one you write will be the most important, the second more important than the third, and so on.
A key word is a word or phrase (i.e. diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension) that will not include the article (the, a, an), or conjunctions (and, or) and will be representative of the main topic of the article. They are fundamental for accurate searches. They are always written in lower case letters. Trademarks are excluded. Avoid using as key words those terms with wide and general meanings (i.e. health, medicine, study, patients, treatment, etc.).
Avoid writing abbreviations in the title and, if possible, avoid using them in the abstract.
In the text, use as few abbreviations as possible. The complete definition of an abbreviation and acronym should be written before its first use in the text, with the exception of standard units of measurement.
Provide a list in alphabetical order and the definition of each non-standard abbreviation and acronym used in the article, with full names in brackets. Do not include full names of units of measurement.
In this stage, give the full details of the institution where the study was conducted or the author's main place of work.
The registers of the institutions of the article's coauthors will be requested in the stage Authors, step Coauthors.
Mark the orientation and the style of your article.
Classify your article in two Specific biomedical areas and more than two Related ones.
SIIC articles are spread over 56 biomedical areas. The accuracy of the procedure is ensured by the first classification made by the authors, and that subsequently made by the Scientific Department. This sector of SIIC will sub-classify the article under the sub-specialties or topics in which the majority of areas can be divided. To see the editorial result, please consult the Specific section of News by Specialty.
The scientific directors and the editorial department of SIIC perform a preliminary evaluation of manuscripts. Those articles that meet the required criteria (importance of and interest for the topic, use of scientific method, correct submission and relevance) and include the appropriate documentation, continue to the next stage, peer review.
Manuscripts undergo external peer review to assess their clinical relevance, technical exactitude, methodological accuracy, clarity, and objectivity. Reviewers are from the academic field and do not receive honoraria for their work.
Authors may suggest up to three peer specialists to review your article. This does not imply an obligation for the editor, but is particularly useful in those research areas that are unusual or little known. The specialists proposed should comply with the corresponding recommendations of the Vancouver Style.
The acceptance, revision, or rejection of an article will be communicated to the author in written.
Give the name of the person who will liaise with SIIC and the readers (consultations, correspondence, etc.).
You may include up to 2 (two) tables and 5 (five) figures in colour or black and white.
Provide the tables in Excel or Word files.
Provide the figures, which include graphs, charts, photographs, maps and other types of illustrations, in JPG or TIFF files in at least 300dpi.
Number the captions of figures and tables according to their appearance in the text.
Write a summary of the figure or table in from 10 to 30 words.
Provide the necessary information that may help in understanding figures.
If data, figures or tables have been published elsewhere, quote the original source and ask for authorization to republish the material.
Self-evaluation of the article will allow the reader to know whether he/she has correctly interpreted its fundamental aspects. This system is used in hospital associations, institutions of higher education, research centers and other educational establishments.
The authors submit questions that their readers analyze and discuss with their peers. On many occasions, this leads to the need for direct connection between the parties.
Offer readers an evaluation of your article in multiple-choice form. Write an Introduction, ask a Question, and provide 5 possible answers, only one of which is correct. Do not forget to say which it is. Add a brief well-founded justification for the correct answer in from 50 to 100 words.
The 5 possible answers will have fewer than 10 words each.
Make sure that the fifth answer does not negate or give as valid all or some of the previous ones. Provide answers that will involve a re-reading of core fragments of the text.
Do not repeat the correct answer. Clarify and enlarge on its meaning. The justification must be exclusively based on the content of the article and should be of no more than 70 words in length.
Identifying Materials The manuscript should be written according to ethical standards that include patients' informed consent for publication, if needed. Identifying information (patients´ names, initials, hospital numbers, etc.) should not be published unless it is essential for scientific purposes and the patient gives informed consent for publication. Informed consent implies that the patient (or his/her representative) has been able to see and read the article, and review all the photographs and illustrations in which he/she is included before publication.
When informed consent has been obtained it should be included in the published article.
See the Form: Informed Consent Certificate for the Publication of Identifying Materials.
When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards on human experimentation, consistent with the Declaration of Helsinki and the appropriate institution or relevant national body. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.

Q: Scraping Kickstarter but run into HTTP Error 404: Not Found On the page, there are more than 53,000 projects in total (I'm trying to scrape all the game projects). However, it ran to page 200 (scraped total 2400 games) and ran into this error: HTTP Error 404: Not Found -> URL not found. I tried to increase time.sleep but it didn't work. Is there any way to fix this issue? Thank you!

A: I advice you to use a User-Agent header and look after all the other headers that are supposed to be sent in a normal request to that website.
The timing is good but it will automatically know that you are botting as you have not set a user-agent as  a normal browser.
And I advice you to use the requests lib from python:
https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/
It holds much more functions and gets updated much more.

Home / 2018 / September / Hammack-PrEP
Very few sexually active gay and bisexual men use prophylactic drug to prevent HIV transmission, study finds
25 percent of young sexually active gay and bisexual men have never been tested for HIV
By Jennifer McNulty
"I worry especially about younger men who didn't grow up with the concerns of HIV that men of older generations did," said lead author Phil Hammack, a professor of psychology. (Photo by Melissa De Witte)
Only 4 percent of sexually active gay and bisexual men in the United States use Truvada, a highly effective medication used to prevent the transmission of HIV, according to the results of a first-of-its-kind study.
Led by Psychology Professor Phillip Hammack, the study, "HIV Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Use, Familiarity, and Attitudes among Gay and Bisexual Men in the United States: A National Probability Sample of Three Birth Cohorts" was published Sept. 7 in the journal PLOS ONE.
Truvada is a once-a-day prescription medication used to reduce the risk of HIV infection; it is the only FDA-approved form of pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, which is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for those at high risk of HIV/AIDS.
"The extremely low rate of PrEP use, while not surprising given barriers to access in various parts of the country, is disappointing," said Hammack.
Researchers also found that most sexually active gay and bisexual men aged 18-25 are not tested for HIV annually, as recommended by the CDC, and 25 percent of young men have never been tested.
"I worry especially about younger men who didn't grow up with the concerns of HIV that men of older generations did," said Hammack. "The low rate of HIV testing probably reflects a degree of complacency and cultural amnesia about AIDS."
Conducted by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, the study is the first to report on estimates of HIV testing and use of PrEP among gay and bisexual men using a national probability sample in the United States. In the study, researchers examined gay and bisexual men in three age groups: young (18-25), middle (34-41) and older (52-59).
"Our findings suggest that health education efforts are not adequately reaching sizable groups of men at risk for HIV infection," said principal investigator Ilan H. Meyer, Distinguished Senior Public Policy Scholar at the Williams Institute. "It is alarming that high-risk populations of men who are sexually active with same-sex partners are not being tested or taking advantage of treatment advances to prevent the spread of HIV."
Other key findings regarding PrEP use include:
Visiting an LGBT health clinic and searching online for LGBT resources were associated with greater likelihood of PrEP use.
52 percent of young sexually active gay and bisexual men were familiar with PrEP as HIV prevention, compared with 79 percent of men aged 34-41.
Bisexual and non-urban men were less familiar with PrEP compared with gay-identified and urban men.
68 percent of men who were familiar with PrEP as HIV prevention had a positive attitude toward PrEP use—despite the low level of usage.
Significant findings regarding HIV testing include:
Only 45 percent of young sexually active gay and bisexual men had been tested for HIV at least annually, compared with 59 percent of men aged 34-41 and 36 percent of those aged 52-59.
Approximately 8 percent of the middle and older groups of men had never been tested for HIV.
Black gay/bisexual men were more likely than white men to meet recommendations for HIV testing, which may be due to recent efforts to target black men for HIV testing.
Visiting an LGBT health clinic and being out as gay or bisexual to health care providers were associated with greater likelihood of HIV testing.
"In the early days of the AIDS epidemic, gay and bisexual men had to rely on LGBT community sources to receive information about HIV prevention," said Meyer. "Our findings suggest that contact with LGBT community resources—health clinics and online information—still serves an important role in HIV prevention."
In addition to Hammack and Meyer, the paper was coauthored by: Evan A. Krueger, research coordinator at the Williams Institute; Marguerita Lightfoot, professor of medicine at UCSF; and David M. Frost, senior lecturer at University College London.
These research results are part of the Generations Study, which is supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health.

Did you know that a synonym for women's genitalia has its root in the Latin word for "shame"? This is one of many intriguing observations that emerges from Tina Brown's conversation with Jill Soloway, creator of the groundbreaking series Transparent, that was inspired by Soloway's own parent, Harry, coming out as transgender. During the Amazon show's acclaimed run, life and art formed a double helix of awakening in Soloway, who now identifies as genderqueer and nonbinary. That newfound clarity and freedom permeates She Wants It, Soloway's intimate new memoir about love, identity, family and toppling the patriarchy.
The great thing about Emmy-winning filmmakers Alex Gibney and Blair Foster's new six part docuseries The Clinton Affair is that it allows a new generation to savor the incredible gallery of aggrieved accusers, legal hounds and partisan furies who tore apart the body politic in the '90s. We see them all anew, from mealy-mouthed special prosecutor Ken Starr to treacherous political harridan Linda Tripp to surprising good guy Trent Lott. Most surprising of all is the new perspective of now 45-year-old Monica Lewinsky, liberated from the vengeful hypocrisies of the past. In this interview, Gibney and Foster talk with Tina Brown about what the public never knew about the Starr investigation, how Bill Clinton's charisma insulated him from the ultimate political punishment, and why opening up about that period of her life may have finally set Monica Lewinsky free.
Ever wonder who the smartest person in Silicon Valley is? Can Mark Zuckerberg ever restore faith in Facebook? And why are so many internet billionaires getting into the media business? In a no-holds-barred interview with Tina, the industry's most feared (and loved) journalist, Recode cofounder Kara Swisher, holds forth on the titans of tech and about how she found her place in the world as a gay woman.
The superb new film Mary Queen of Scots rehabilitates the image of one of history's most maligned monarchs. In a multi-part conversation, Tina talks with Margot Robbie, who plays Mary's cousin and rival Queen Elizabeth I, first-time director Josie Rourke and Cambridge historian John Guy, who wrote the riveting revisionist biography on which the film is based.
Even if Allison Janney weren't five-foot-twelve, there are a lot of reasons to look up to her as an actress. In an intimate interview with Tina, Janney talks about how she found her inner evil to play Tonya Harding's icy mother, what an agent once said to her about the parts she should play, and why she doesn't watch press briefings by White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Mad, bad rulers don't rise by accident. Tina talks with Harvard's Stephen Greenblatt, author of the provocative bestseller Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics, about the uniformly infantile nature of tyrants, how they manipulate popular ignorance and how they're propelled by multiple enablers who only wake up when it's too late.
Tina talks with British-born actress Felicity Jones about playing the fearless Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and with NPR's Nina Totenberg whose expertise almost makes her the tenth the Supreme Court justice. Why was Ginsburg's husband such a feminist hero in his own right? Did Ginsburg make the right decision in choosing to stay on the court at the age of 85? Stories about a woman who rules--from the bench.
The former Fox News anchor fired the opening shot in MeToo when she brought down Fox titan Roger Ailes, and received a $20-million settlement with an apology to boot. Now she's made a documentary about the women whose MeToo stories are not being told. Carlson, a Stanford and Oxford alum and former Miss America, talks with Tina about escaping two sexual assaults, stripping swimsuits from the Miss America pageant, and how she's going after McDonald's for their handling of sexual harassment complaints from employees.

6. Awesome Planet (Epcot)
Earlier this year Disney announced Awesome Planet, a brand new original film especially designed for Epcot, that will be coming to the Harvest Theater at the Land pavilion later this year. Here is the official description of this upcoming new film:
An on-screen exploration of the realm we call home, showcases the spectacular beauty, diversity and dynamic story of our earth with all the grandeur guests have come to expect.
With spectacular nature photography, immersive in-theater effects, and space sequences created by none other than Industrial Light & Magic (which provided the cinematic foundation for the Star Wars franchise), "Awesome Planet" will stir Epcot guests and deliver an environmental message that will resonate far beyond its final scenes.
Of course, this description is fairly general and vague, but the concept behind this new film still sounds really interesting and the ecologically-friendly message in Awesome Planet is definitely something that will align with the overall theme of the Land Pavilion, but will hopefully feel more up-to-date than its Lion King-themed predecessor. We're also excited about the prospect of the Harvest Theater being upgraded to facilitate the special effects detailed above in the description of the new show.
7. Canada: Far and Wide (Epcot)
Opening in: January 2020
The current O Canada circle-vision attraction closed in August 2019, and will be replaced by an all new Circle-Vision 360 movie at Epcot's Canada pavilion, which will open in January 2020. Using all new seamless digital technology, the new 360 movie, Named Canada: Far and Wide, will include new scenes, story and music.
8.Beauty and the Beast Singalong (Epcot)
Last year it was announced that a brand new new Beauty and the Beast sing-along attraction would be coming to Epcot's France pavilion, and will play in the theater that is currently home to "Impressions de France."This new show will play in addition to the French film, and is being created by Don Hahn, producer of the animated and live-action "Beauty and the Beast" film. This new film will debut early next year.
9. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway (Disney's Hollywood Studios)
Opening in: Spring 2020
Though Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway was originally supposed to open alongside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to help with capacity, it looks like there have been some delays with this project, with Disney pushing the debut of this ride back to Spring 2020, long after both parts of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge are open.
When this ride finally debuts, it will allow guests to literally step "through" a movie screen and join Mickey and his friends on a fun adventure where you're the star of your own Mickey short and anything can happen. This zany out-of-control adventure will feature surprising twists and turns, dazzling visual effects and mind-boggling transformations that happen before your very eyes, including a forest instantly being transformed into a cityscape, which you can check out here.
Though this attraction sounds a bit like your standard screen-based affair so far, Disney is promising that this ride will be more than just a screen-based dark ride. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway will make extensive use of new enhanced screen technology that Disney is calling 2 1/2D. Though we're not entirely sure what this really means, Disney said that the normally 2D world of Disney animation will pop in new ways inside this attraction, but interestingly, without the need for 3D glasses.
10. Untitled Disney Animation Cirque du Soleil Show (Disney Springs)
Opening in: March 20, 2020
Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba at Disney Springs closed forever at the end of 2017, but just before it did, Disney confirmed that a new Cirque du Soleil production was being developed for this theater. But this time, this all-new show will have a uniquely Disney flair, and be unlike anything else either Disney or Cirque du Soleil have produced in the past. Based around some of Disney's most iconic films, this new show will "draw its inspiration from Disney's heritage of animation," and will "celebrate Disney's legacy of storytelling in Cirque du Soleil's signature way, with a tribute to the one-of a kind craftsmanship that makes Disney so extraordinary."
According to Disney, this new show will center on the story of a young girl and her father, who is a Disney animator. In an effort to connect with his child, the father sends his daughter on a magical journey of self-discovery in the world of Disney animation.
This new untitled show will begin preview performances early next year on March 20th, with an official debut on April 17, 2020. The show will then be performed on a Tuesday through Saturday schedule, with showtimes at 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM.

Robin Montgomery: Wailing of the Orquoquisac: An Exotic Encounter
By Robin Montgomery / History columnist
Published 2:39 pm CST, Monday, December 31, 2018
In the summer of 1719, a French ship lost its way in the Caribbean to run aground near Galveston Island. While five men were ashore reconnoitering the site, the ship lost its moorings leaving the men stranded. While suffering through a harrowing winter all save one, named Simars de Bellisle, perished. Herein lies an exotic story set largely in our area.
Bellisle managed to survive by eating such as oysters, boiled grass and huge worms extracted from logs. As warm weather approached, converging upon his solitude were members of the Orquoquisac Tribe from the environs of Spring Creek in later southern Montgomery County. These Indians habitually retired to the Gulf Coast in the summer, to eat much the same items Bellisle had been consuming, then to return north in the winter.
Intrigued at the stranger on the beach, the Orquoquisac welcomed Bellisle by making him a slave to a widow of the tribe while subjecting him to continual beatings. This was the good news for he was fortunate to have his life, the tribe being bent as they were toward cannibalism. For example, later Bellisle wrote, "they threw this Indian on the prairie. One of them cut his head off and another one cut the arms off, while skinning him at the same time. Several of them ate the yellow fat, which was still raw, and finally they devoured him completely." (See W.W. Newcomb, The Indians of Texas)
It was however the "wailing greetings" of the tribe which seemed to terrify the marooned Frenchman the most. Hear Bellisle again: "When morning came, they made me embark with them and they took me to the shore . . . When I arrived there, I heard these people . . . yell frightfully. This made me tremble and I thought they would kill me any moment." Bellisle went on to say that "their custom was to yell as well for good as for bad news." (Ibid.)
Eventually, while sojourning in the northern realms of later Montgomery County, Bellisle had the good fortune of meeting a group of Indians more amenable to his temperament. These were the Bidai, a tribe who were equally wary of the Orquoquisac, and not taken to their cannibalistic customs. Evidence points to numerous battles between these groups at the intersection of their respective domains.
Being the weaker tribe, the Orquoquisac did not make a major dent into Bidai territory except at the edges where they were in control of three former Bidai towns when the Spanish arrived. A significant Bidai advantage lay with the awesome reputation of the Bidai Shaman who reportedly could take the form of owls and induce spells in their enemies.
Bellisle gave the Bidai a note, requesting that they give it "to the next white men" they happened to meet. Sensitive to the dilemma of the seaman, the Bidai were eventually able to deliver him to members of his own kind.
If you take a night stroll along the banks of Spring Creek in The Woodlands area and hear a strange wailing sound, beware.

Reginald Gilyard Joins CBRE Group, Inc. Board of Directors
CBRE Names Blaine Kelley For Top Industrial & Logistics Honor
Autonomous Vehicles Expected to Fundamentally Reshape US Office Market by 2030
CBRE Report: Autonomous Vehicles Expected to Fundamentally Reshape U.S. Office Market by 2030
Los Angeles | November 13, 2018
Infiltration of AVs will expand location options for companies, making proximity to commercial centers and public transit less critical when it comes to attracting top talent
By disrupting the way employees commute to work, autonomous vehicles are expected to fundamentally reshape the U.S. office market by 2030, according to a new report from CBRE. Most significantly, the primacy of commercial real estate's traditional decision drivers—geographic location and access to talent—may decrease as the importance placed on the workplace experience and building amenities grows.
Based on extensive and proprietary research, including interviews with leading experts in the AV space, CBRE's report predicts that autonomous vehicles could account for between 11 and 27 percent of vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) by 2030. Factors considered in CBRE's analysis include the rate at which the cost-per-mile for AVs decreases compared to personal cars; the time it takes to develop software capable of navigating both inclement weather and complex urban roadway layouts; and advances in vehicle manufacturing capacity.
"Autonomous vehicles may have the greatest impact on U.S. real estate markets since mass adoption of the car and expansion of the federal highway system," said David Eisenberg, senior vice president, Digital Enablement & Technology, CBRE. "Ride-sharing services, which currently account for only about two percent of vehicle miles traveled in the U.S., have already had a major impact on transportation patterns, so even the conservative estimate of an 11 percent share of VMT will significantly disrupt employee mobility, and thus impact office markets, by 2030."
By enabling employees to work, relax or sleep during their commutes, autonomous vehicles could increase the distance they are willing to travel to the office, giving occupiers a wider—and cheaper—range of geographic options when considering office locations. This could create new investment opportunities for landlords in areas that are not currently accessible via public transportation, such as the suburbs east of Oakland and in the Inland Empire, according to CBRE's report.
If occupiers have a wider range of location options and employees find autonomous vehicles to make for a more enjoyable commute than public transportation, proximity to commercial centers and public transit could become less critical when it comes to attracting top talent. Conversely, demand for properties in locations that have "live, work, play" walkability will remain strong, particularly as micro-mobility options such as eScooters and bike sharing, which increase the distance someone without a car can cover, continue to be more prevalent.
In preparation for the onset of AVs, CBRE's report outlines steps for office owners and occupiers to position themselves for the future now:
Focus on creating the most attractive building and work environment possible
Replace parking lots, garages and on-street parking with amenities and urban retail
Target walkable areas
Consider a broader geographic range of opportunities for office locations or investments
"If AVs render geographic location less of a factor in real estate decision making, the building itself, including its workplace experience and amenities, will increase in importance," said Andrea Cross, Americas head of office research, CBRE. "Occupiers already find highly amenitized buildings appealing, and while the exact timing for widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles remains uncertain, property differentiation is one element that landlords can control that will increase their buildings' attractiveness now and in the future."
"The impact of AVs will be felt across nearly all property types and sectors, from retail, industrial, healthcare and hospitality, to insurance markets and subsequent capital flows," added Laura Sagues, senior vice president, CBRE.
CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE), a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company headquartered in Los Angeles, is the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm (based on 2018 revenue).

Alexander William Gaskarth (born 14 December 1987) is an English-born American singer and songwriter. He is best known as the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and primary songwriter for the American rock band All Time Low since its formation in 2003.

Career

Crew Fighters (2002–2003)
As a teenager, Gaskarth was part of a cover band named Crew Fighters. Soon after, he met Jack Barakat, who persuaded him to form and join All Time Low. All Time Low began doing covers of songs by Blink-182 and Green Day. Subsequently, the formation of the band was completed by Zack Merrick (bass, backing vocals) and Rian Dawson (drums, percussion), who also left Crew Fighters to join All Time Low.

All Time Low (2003–present)

Gaskarth started playing music with bandmate Jack Barakat in eighth grade. In ninth grade, they acquired Zack Merrick and Rian Dawson, forming All Time Low in 2003. They signed to Emerald Moon Records in 2004 while still in high school and released their debut EP, "The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End". In 2005, they released their debut studio album The Party Scene.

In 2006 the band signed with Hopeless Records. In 2007, they released a single "Dear Maria, Count Me In" that was certified Platinum in 2015 and in 2021 it was certified 2x Multi-Platinum. They also released their second studio album, So Wrong, It's Right, in 2007. In 2009, All Time Low released their third studio album Nothing Personal which debuted number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2010 the band released two CD/DVD packages, MTV Unplugged and the documentary/live concert Straight to DVD.

In 2011, the band signed with Interscope Records and released their fourth studio album Dirty Work. In early 2012, the band re-signed with Hopeless Records and released their fifth studio album Don't Panic. On 7 April 2015, All Time Low released their sixth studio album Future Hearts which reached number 2 on Billboard Hot 200 Albums Chart with 75,000 copies sold in its first week, and number 1 in the U.K official Album Charts with 19,400 copies being sold. In 2016, Straight to DVD 2: Past Present and Future Hearts was released. This is a sequel to Straight to DVD, documenting the past four years of the band as well as another live concert. In 2017, the band released a new song entitled "Dirty Laundry" and also reveals that they had left Hopeless Records and has signed with Fueled by Ramen one year prior. On 2 June 2017 the band released its seventh studio album Last Young Renegade. In the summer of 2018, the band released two new singles, Everything Is Fine and Birthday.

In 2023, on Valentine's Day, the band released a song 'Modern Love,' a new anti-dating anthem from their upcoming album, 'Tell Me I'm Alive' out March 17th on Fueled By Ramen.

Gaskarth has written songs with other bands such as 5 Seconds of Summer, McBusted, and Simple Plan. He hosted the podcast Full Frontal with bandmate Jack Barakat from 2013 to 2015. Full Frontal was rebranded as Crash Test Live per an announcement via Twitter in May of 2020 and transitioned to Twitch (service) as the show's live streaming platform while the show would remain available in audio-only format as well as in video format following each taping.

Gaskarth also hosted the 2015 and 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards along with bandmate Jack Barakat.

Simple Creatures (2019–present)

On 24 January 2019, Gaskarth announced he was forming a new group with Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 called Simple Creatures. A debut song named "Drug" was released with news of an upcoming EP slated for March. A single named "Strange Love" was also released.

Instruments

During 2004–2008, Gaskarth used a variety of Gibson SG-X's. Around mid-2013, Gaskarth used a variety of custom-made Paul Reed Smith guitars, most notable the Mira. He stated in a Reddit AMA that he abandoned the instruments due to difficulties replacing parts while overseas.
Gaskarth currently uses Fender guitars, most notable the Mustang 90 models, although he has been seen using Telecasters, as well as some of their acoustic models.
Gaskarth has also been seen using Gibson electric guitars.

Personal life
Gaskarth graduated from Dulaney High School in 2006. Gaskarth has two older half-sisters, Jilan and Helen, and had a half-brother, Tom, who died when Gaskarth was 12. In memory of him, Gaskarth got a rose tattoo on his left hand, and wrote the song "Lullabies".

Gaskarth married his long-time girlfriend Lisa Ruocco on 9 April 2016. The two have been in an on-and-off relationship since high school as the pair tried to balance the lifestyle change of Gaskarth as he was touring the world.

During the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, Gaskarth, Jack Barakat and fellow crew members of All Time Low, started a live podcast on YouTube called Crash Test Live.

Vocal style
Gaskarth has a tenor vocal style. His vocal range is from A2 to C#5.

For a long time we have been intending to go to Folkestone to relive some old memories from when we lived in Folkestone for three or four months back in 1979 and today is the day. It was a half hour drive from Deal to Folkestone on a good road.
As we passed White Cliffs at Capel-le-Ferne we stopped to visit the Battle of Britain Memorial where there was a replica of a Spitfire, a memorial built by Harry Gray in 1993 and a Remembrance Wall. When you look on the site from above the whole area is in the shape of a large propellor-shaped base with the figure of a seated pilot sitting in the centre. The Remembrance Wall lists the names of almost 3000 fighter aircrew who flew in the Battle. A new visitor centre opened there in 2015.
We had a list of church micros to do in Folkestone but we did not have a lot of luck and only found one out of the three we looked for. At St Saviours church, there were several possible places that matched the hint but we could not find it anywhere. St John's church was founded during the Victorian Era, to help provide religious needs to the quickly increasing population of Folkestone, mainly due to the coming of the railways. We parked near the cache and found the cache easily before we went to see if the church was open. It wasn't. The magnificent building that is now home to the Folkestone United Reformed Church was designed by Joseph Gardner and opened in 1897. It was designed and built in the English Gothic style, with an aisleless nave, transept, apsidal sanctuary and has a crenellated tower. The coordinates seemed a bit out but we did find the appropriate hint item. There was no cache that we could find and it was in a tricky place as it looked like we wanted to cross the road.
At this point, we got frustrated with geocaching and headed down to the seaside and promenade. We have a memory of watching Folkestone rock being made in a small rock shop in Old High St. Passersby watched through the window as the sweet was pulled and manipulated and various colours were added to make the stripes in the rock. It was a bit of a long shot that the shop might still be there and it was not. Apparently, it closed about 15 years ago. The Old High Street is a tiny cobbled street which would not be wide enough for vehicles with lots of small shops all the way along its length. We walked all the way up and around the familiar feeling area. We use to come down here at the weekend and play in the amusement arcades. We could make £1 each last for hours. The same machines are there but they are loaded so that the coins cannot drop except possibly one or two at a time. It is a pity because I am sure people would play them more if there was some chance of making small wins. I do not think the arcade owners are doing themselves any favours. Still, we played our £1 each again.
We had fish and chips at a cafe near the sea and it was very nice. Then we walked along the promenade and onto the beach. One of the things I have been looking for since we arrived in the UK was a childhood memory of arcaded seawall. I always thought it was in Ramsgate but it was not. Then Dad said he thought it was Folkestone and today I found it. My sister and I used to run along inside the seawall when we were very little and I think this is the place where I got lost on a crowded beach in the middle of summer. There were not many people here today as the weather was drizzling from time to time and generally not beachy at all. The beach is wonderful here with soft, lovely sand and I can still see it full of people in my mind. We found one geocache along the other end of the seafront in an empty car park near the funicular railway.
We decided to go home via a different route and found a church micro at St Luke's in Hawkinge but the church was not open. St Anthony's Church in Alkham overlooks the village green and is Grade I listed and the surrounding churchyard contains 15 Grade II listed headstones. The origins of the church are 12 Century and inside the church is a coffin lid bearing one of the oldest inscriptions in Kent. The coffin belonged to Herbert de Averenches, a monk from St Radigans. It was the only church we have found open all day. The church had an unusual layout with a side aisle that was not as long as the nave. The chancel had ledger stones, some to the Slaters. There were a few stained glass windows which were all good especially the modern one which was designed and painted by Joan K. Catte and E. Patteng. The East window was lovely with lots of angels above the main characters. When I collected the numbers for the multi I made a mistake but rechecked it as it looked like it was quite a distance away. Just as well I did because the second coordinates I came up with were very close. It had an excellent hint so we kept looking until we found the cache. It was pouring with rain and we were getting quite wet so it was time to go home to Boris in Deal.
A lovely day despite the dodgy weather but full of memories both old and new. We even drove to our flat in Lime St which we did not recognise at all and to David and Joan's old house and to where Mike worked at B.Y. Simulated Furs in 1979.

5 Most Shocking Acts in 2021, According to 'America's Got Talent'
As the year comes to an end, it's the perfect time to look back at some of the most memorable America's Got Talent acts from this past season. This week, the show shared an Instagram compilation of "5 Acts That STUNNED The Judges" during Season 16.
1. 'AGT' Winner Dustin Tavella
This year, magician Dustin Tavella was named the AGT Season 16 winner for his personal and emotional act. One of the most jaw-dropping performances from Tavella over the course of the season came during the Finals. He started by talking about his parents' marriage, ripping up a photo and putting it back together.
Tavella had the audience write down ways they can impact others' lives. He then had them throw the papers toward the judges, and he opened the one Simon Cowell picked up. Tavella then revealed that he already had a piece of paper which read the same thing. He then tore up the paper and turned it into confetti.
2. Gangstagrass
Gangstagrass is a band that combines bluegrass music with hip-hop. The members are from all over the country, but they were brought together by their love of music. In their audition for the show, the group performed an original song called "Bound to Ride."
The performance featured a banjo, guitar, and fiddle, as well as a rap interlude. Gangstagrass received a standing ovation from the judges, earning four "yes" votes to move on. They returned with another original song called "All for One" in the Quarterfinals, but unfortunately they didn't receive enough votes to move on.

3. Keith Apicary
Season 16 contestant Keith Apicary certainly made an interesting first impression. The character, played by YouTuber Nathan Barnatt, shared his love of video games and said it inspired his passion for dancing. Before his audition, he told the judges that he's "not a dancer," adding, "I just like to dance."
Keith proceeded to show off some unique moves that made the audience cheer and the judges smile. He ended the performances by falling off the stage, but he turned out to be fine. Believe it or not, the judges all voted to send him through. However, Cowell later buzzed his Quarterfinals performance, and he didn't move on.
4. Peter Antoniou
Peter Antoniou brought his incredible mentalist act to America's Got Talent Season 16. His audition involved finding judge Sofia Vergara's engagement ring in a room full of jewelry boxes. He also revealed details of Vergara's engagement that he couldn't have known.
The judges were stunned by Antoniou's talent. Howie Mandel called him "smooth and confident." All four judges voted to send him through. Antoniou made it to the Semifinals of Season 16. He continued to involve the judges in his routines later on.
5. Kevin Micoud
Another mentalist act that wowed the AGT judges was Kevin Micoud, from France. Micoud used holographic technology to take his act to the next level. He projected a brain on stage to delve into host Terry Crews' thoughts. This visual aspect added a whole new layer to an already mind-bending performance.
Micoud had judges Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum choose photos of past contestants, and then he sent that information to Crews' mind. Crews correctly identified both of the acts the judges had chosen. The panel voted to send Micoud through, but unfortunately he didn't make it to the Quarterfinals after judges' deliberations.

The Riverlands Avian Observatory is the result of a design-build studio charged with investigating digital design and fabrication processes. The studio was led by Andrew Colopy and Ken Tracy at Washington University in St. Louis.
Students designed, prototyped, fabricated and constructed a unique bird watching experience for visitors to the Audubon Center at Riverlands along the banks of the Mississippi.
The Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary provides 3,700 acres of protected habitat at a critical juncture along the Mississippi Migratory Flyway. Within the sanctuary, Heron Pond is a constructed wetland that is hydrologically managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Stopover or home to more than 300 avian species, birders convene along the water's edge to experience this unique ecology.
Students began by reimagining the surrounding landscape, trail networks, vehicular access and vegetation to minimize the disturbance to sensitive species. The approach also carefully choreographs a sequence of views to the observatory and surrounding landmarks keyed to informational graphics that help to educate visitors while crafting a memorable experience.
On the exterior, students studied ideas of camouflage. But, the intent is not to blend in, just the opposite. Birds aren't bothered by the building, just the activity and presence of people. Instead, the structure stands out from the context to attract visitors while hiding the people within through shaded apertures that blend into the exterior patterning.
Inside, diagonal apertures provide viewing for people of any height. There is also a larger gathering space where Audubon and Corps staff can talk with school groups and a special raised area offering more expansive views. The interior is surfaced with black perforated aluminum, helping to muffle sound and keep the interior dim to hide visitors from view.
The design also contends with the difficult issue of flooding. The adjacent grade was raised four feet, just above flood stage, to help mitigate modest floods while improving visual access to the pond. The project is also constructed of durable materials: concrete foundation, cedar frame, and exterior panels made from aluminum frames clad in Richlite (a resin and paper composite). In a major flood, where floating debris is a concern, these exterior panels are demountable and can be taken to higher ground.
