President Donald Trump talks with John Rode of Rode's Camera Shop as he speaks with business owners during a tour of an area damaged. Trump never mentioned Blake's name nor spoke with his family, brushing past the shooting and calling attention instead to the street violence that he blamed on liberal politicians. He expressed more empathy for police officers, saying that they have a "tough job" and that occasionally some simply "choke" when put under "tremendous pressure" in carrying out their duties.

Kenosha has become the latest focal point of anger over police shootings of Black Americans and the eruptions that have followed. During his visit, Trump left no doubt which side he was on, dismissing suggestions of "systemic racism" and scolding reporters who asked about it, saying they should concentrate instead on the violent response.

Trump said on a visit to protest-hit Kenosha, Wisconsin that recent anti-police demonstrations in the city were acts of "domestic terror" committed by violent mobs. "These are not acts of peaceful protest but really domestic terror," Trump said, describing multiple nights of angry demonstrations last week after a white police officer in Kenosha shot a black man in the back at close range.

Q: Extracting data from xml format in python I have the following nmap output as xml format:
<ports><extraports state="closed" count="991">
<extrareasons reason="conn-refused" count="991"/>
</extraports>
<port protocol="tcp" portid="22"><state state="open" reason="syn-ack" reason_ttl="0"/><service name="ssh" method="table" conf="3"/></port>
<port protocol="tcp" portid="25"><state state="open" reason="syn-ack" reason_ttl="0"/><service name="smtp" method="table" conf="3"/></port>
<port protocol="tcp" portid="139"><state state="open" reason="syn-ack" reason_ttl="0"/><service name="netbios-ssn" method="table" conf="3"/></port>
<port protocol="tcp" portid="443"><state state="open" reason="syn-ack" reason_ttl="0"/><service name="https" method="table" conf="3"/></port>

I want to get port numbers that are open:
print 'Port Number: '+host.find('ports').find('port').get('portid')

But the result is just 22.
How can I have the results:
22
25
139
443

A: Find all port elements, and get portid attributes.
Using Element.findall and list comprehension:
>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
>>> root = ET.fromstring('''
<ports><extraports state="closed" count="991">
<extrareasons reason="conn-refused" count="991"/>

<port protocol="tcp" portid="139"><state state="open" reason="syn-ack" reason_ttl="0"/><service name="netbios-ssn" method="table" conf="3"/></port>
<port protocol="tcp" portid="443"><state state="open" reason="syn-ack" reason_ttl="0"/><service name="https" method="table" conf="3"/></port>
</ports>
''')
>>> [port.get('portid') for port in root.findall('.//port')]
['22', '25', '139', '443']

Only 20% of Marketers Truly Know Their Customers
Jonathan Prezant
Eighty percent of companies rely primarily on basic customer profile information and purchase history to structure marketing campaigns, according to a new research report from Yesmail Interactive and analyst firm Gleanster. The two companies surveyed 100 senior-level marketers from businesses with $10 million to $1 billion in revenue for their "Customer Lifecycle Engagement: Customer engagement imperatives for mid-to-large companies" report.
In terms of transactional data, only 53% of marketers say they have an excellent understanding of customers' purchase history and 42% say they have a thorough understanding of basic demographic information such as gender and age. Additionally, even fewer have an excellent understanding of relationship data, including customers' level of participation in social media (20%), channel preference (21%), and household composition (27%).
"Despite their assumptions, marketers really don't know their customers," says Mike Fisher, president of Yesmail Interactive. "With four out of five relying on basic demographic and transactional data they perceive as sophisticated, we found that marketers continue to rely on legacy marketing tactics and struggle to incorporate critical cross-channel data to inform customer messaging and offers."
According to Fisher, many senior executives assume that data access is the problem. The reality is that information silos get in the way of marketers harnessing the type of deep data insight that produces effective personalized and relevant campaigns. This lack of understanding hinders marketers' capabilities of fostering relationships with customers and creating direct engagement. "Nine out of 10 organizations collect behavioral data, web analytics, etc.; but mysteriously, this information isn't available to marketers," Fisher says. "These individual sources need to be aggregated and available in an actionable format."
In fact, 86% percent of respondents said they could do a better job with segmentation if they had better customer data, listing the main challenges of limitations in marketing tools (42%), fragmented marketing systems (34%), and poor data quality (34%). About two thirds of marketers (67%) use CRM systems for segmentation, and 56% use point-of-sale data. According to the report, while CRM systems are the most popular, they're often the most limited as well, providing marketers with the most basic of information.
"Despite these [issues], most marketers believe that they're doing an excellent job of targeting and reaching customers," Fisher says. "Since optimizing customer engagement is a top two goal for B2C marketers, much remains to be done across organizations."
Fisher's advice for what can be done: First, continue to collect the core data currently being collected. Then identify ways to enhance the data with descriptive customer information "that delivers insights around who your customer is beyond just what they buy from you," he says. "Simply put, how can you continue to ask for business from a stranger?"
Additionally, identify patterns within customer data that call out opportunities like the next most likely purchase for a specific customer type. It's also essential to identify best customers and other key segments and use them, not channels, to dictate strategy. Last, measure the results across channels and campaigns, and then use that insight to inform future strategies.
"The ultimate goal for marketers is to implement automated lifecycle campaigns," Fisher says. "Marketers should be actively engaged in breaking down barriers, whether within their organization or with the data they have available…. Don't have a particular piece of info? Don't be afraid to ask. Customers are generally willing to supply you with the information you need, so long as they receive something valuable in return."
Marketers who continue to operate in silos—in terms of data and marketing overall—and stand by potentially dated best practices instead of moving forward may find themselves watching the backs of competitors as they run off with their customers.
"One of the most surprising findings from the report is that the use of multichannel has not evolved beyond the basic definition of using more than one channel," Fisher says. "Marketers aren't using data to execute campaigns or allowing data from one channel to influence another. Direct mail exists independently of email, which exists independently of social. So marketers are unable to move forward and embrace a truly multichannel approach. This is one example, but this siloed mentality exists when it comes to data within most organizations and how they analyze groups of customers."
Consequently, Fisher says, even forward-thinking marketers are making decisions based on past strategies instead of approaches that mesh with today's realities. "They're following customers through the lifecycle they've artificially imposed on them, not according to how customers live, work and interact with brands," he says. "The largest potential for growth lies in responding to threshold triggers and following the customer's lifecycle outside of marketing… Look at your practices according to everyday logic and outside of what used to be established best practices. You may be surprised at what you're missing."

Though the Empire began with a replicate armed forces in Star Wars, that armed force was altered by normal human Stormtroopers. Here's why in addition to when it occurred.
At completion of the Star Wars innovators, the Empire had a complete military of duplicate cannon fodders, however that military was at some point changed with typical human Stormtroopers. In the wake of the Empire's development in addition to the occasions of Order 66, Palpatine's routine started a steady growth of central power throughout the galaxy, moving the old systems of the Republic a growing number of in the direction of a tyranny. This procedure was slow-moving as well as proceeded up till the occasions of the initial Star Wars, when the last residues of the Republic were brushed up away.
The Jango Fett duplicates that consisted of the Grand Army of the Republic was among those residues. Though the duplicate cannon fodders offered Palpatine's objectives flawlessly throughout the Clone Wars, they ended up being an obligation in peacetime for a couple of factors. The precise timeline of the Empire's terminating of duplicate cannon fodders is various in Legends than in the Canon, however the origin inspirations stay the very same.
In the Legends timeline, the Empire performed numerous trying outs cloning after conclusion of the Clone Wars, consisting of some tasks indicated to produce Force-delicate soldiers. Clones acted as top-level shock cannon fodders as well as continued to be a considerable armed forces possession for many years after the Republic's dissolution, though at some point they started to be changed with average employees. The major inspiration for the button to Stormtroopers was merely that duplicating ended up being also costly. The price of getting, expanding, as well as training duplicates was inflated, as well as the schedule for them to end up being complete soldiers was extensive. There was likewise a degree of question of duplicates that rose within the Empire, partly because of a collection of disobediences. By 1 BBY (prior to the fight of Yavin), there were minimal duplicates offering in the royal armed force, as well as many that continued to be remained in non-combat functions.
The Canon procedure of duplicates being terminated of the Imperial rankings is mainly the like in Legends, albeit with a couple of adjustments. The Kamino cloning centers were closed down in Canon soon after completion of the battle, leaving just one even more generation of cannon fodders to be expanded as well as educated. As in Legends, the choice was based mostly on the high price of cloning, which was no more required without a large problem being dealt with. The remainder of the Grand Army of the Republic, because of their sped up aging, started to be progressively changed in the rankings within the very first couple of years of Imperial regulation. By around 5 BBY in the Canon timeline, prior to the start of Star Wars: Rebels, mostly all active-duty Stormtroopers were average employees.
Venom Spidey…
Another feasible factor for the button from duplicates to employees is the added degree of control it provided the Empire over various systems. By taking soldiers from all edges of the galaxy – throwing Imperial enlistment as the only escape of an Outer Rim life of destitution, as Luke Skywalker himself saw it – the Empire lowered the danger of disobedience. An earth with youngsters offering in the Imperial Navy would certainly be much much less most likely to stand up to Palpatine's routine than one with absolutely nothing to shed. Therefore, changing the faceless replicate cannon straws with normal human Stormtroopers could have aided Palpatine tighten his understanding on the Star Wars galaxy.

US College Basketball
Leaf leads No. 16 UCLA past San Diego
UCLA freshman forward T.J. Leaf, with a game-high 26 points in an 88-68 win over visiting San Diego on Thursday night, noted that he and the 16th-ranked Bruins were nearly unstoppable around the basket.
"They weren't the biggest team inside and we exploited that," Leaf said referring to San Diego (0-3) not having a player in its rotation taller than 6'7". "We showed that we can win in different ways. We won't live and die from 3-point range."
Despite making only 5 of its 22 3-point attempts -- after making a school-record 18 in the season-opener last week against Pacific -- the Bruins (3-0) pulled away relying on high-percentage shots and with free throws (19-of-22 performance) because they attacked the basket.
The Bruins, starting the 6-foot-10 Leaf and 7-footer Thomas Welsh, took advantage of their size advantage over the Toreros, outscoring them 46-22 in the paint. Leaf scored 10 of the Bruins' first 15 points in the second half on three dunks and two layups.
"I told our guys at halftime that we don't want to settle on offense," UCLA coach Steve Alford said. "We want to be aggressive and get the high-percentage shots by attacking the rim.
"We had only four assists in the first half but finished with 21. That's a good indication of us moving the ball, working the ball for good shots and not settling."
Leaf's last basket during his scoring output early in the second half increased UCLA's lead to 56-43, its biggest lead of the game at the point. His layup with 14:41 left in the game culminated a 12-3 run.
Preview: San Diego at UCLA
San Diego, led by forward Brett Bailey's career-high 22 points and nine rebounds, did not come closer than 10 points afterward.
"We have to get a little tougher and grittier and keep the ball out of the post on defense," San Diego coach Lamont Smith said. "We took care of the ball for the most part with only seven turnovers.
"Our problem was not on the offensive end. We were negligent on the defensive end of making stops near the basket."
Leaf also tallied 10 rebounds, giving him two double-double performances in UCLA's first three games. Fellow freshman guard standout Lonzo Ball finished with 13 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. UCLA junior center Thomas Welsh also had his second double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
The Toreros were also led by forward Cameron Neubauer scoring all of his career-high 14 in the second half.
UCLA made its first 3-pointer with 10:23 left in the game on a shot by guard Isaac Hamilton that gave the Bruins a 63-50 lead. UCLA started 0 of 13 from beyond the arc.
The Bruins looked like they would take control early going on a 15-2 run to take their biggest lead of the first half, 26-14, with 8:35 left before halftime. The Toreros missed 12 straight shots in one stretch of the first half and shot only 30 percent going into intermission.
Despite the cold shooting, San Diego kept the game close with UCLA. The Toreros went on a 11-2 run to cut the lead to 28-25 with 5:05 left in the first half.
UCLA then answered with a 9-3 run capped by Ball's three-point play to take a 37-28 lead with 2:44 remaining in the half. The Bruins made 15 of their 16 free-throw attempts in the first half.
Bailey led all scorers in the first half with 12 points that included 2-of-2 shooting from 3-point range. The Toreros, who trailed 41-33 at halftime, went 5 of 11 from 3-point range in the half.
NOTES: UCLA scored at least 100 points in each of its first two games, marking the second time in the last four seasons (all under head coach Steve Alford) in which the Bruins have logged consecutive games with 100 or more points. ... UCLA hasn't scored 100 points or more in three straight games since opening the 1971-72 season with seven consecutive victories with 100 or more points. ... San Diego's roster features only one senior (Bailey). The Toreros have six freshmen and four sophomores.

The Morning Chronicle Kissing Under the Mistletoe 1800
The Morning Chronicle
:: Old Christmas - The Squire's Banquet :: Imperial Christmas ::
To Mrs. K___, On Her Sending Me an
English Christmas Pudding at Paris
by Helen Maria Williams 1823
What crowding thoughts around me wake,
What marvels in a Christmas-cake!
Ah say, what strange enchantment dwells
Enclosed within its odorous cells?
Is there no small magician bound
Encrusted in its snowy round?
For magic surely lurks in this,
A cake that tells of vanished bliss;
A cake that conjures up to view
The early scenes, when life was new;
When memory knew no sorrows past,
And hope believed in joys that last!--
Mysterious cake, whose folds contain
Life's calendar of bliss and pain;
That speak of friends for ever fled,
And wakes the tears I love to shed.
Oft shall I breathe her cherished name
From whose fair hand the offering came:
For she recalls the artless smile
Of nymphs that deck my native isle;
Of beauty that we love to trace,
Allied with tender, modest grace;
Of those who, while abroad they roam,
Retain each charm that gladdens home,
And whose dear friendship can impart
A Christmas banquet for the heart!
Boiled plum or Christmas pudding

Minced Pies
Should be made in small patties, with an excellent puff paste, on which the meat [a combination of currants, raisins, beef-suet, sugar, nutmeg, mace, cloves, pippins (apples), and brandy] should be laid, and when baked, serve with burnt brandy.
Mrs. Glasse's Plum-Porridge Recipe
The Art of Cookery c 1750
Take a leg and shin of beef, put them into eight gallons of water, and boil them till they are very tender, and when the broth is strong strain it out; wipe the pot and put in the broth again; then slice six penny-loaves thin, cut off the top and bottom, put some of the liquor to it, cover it up and let it stand a quarter of an hour, boil it and strain it, and then put it in to your pot, let it boil a quarter of an hour, then put in five pounds of currants, clean washed and picked; let them boil a little, and put in five pounds of raisons of the sun stoned, and two pounds of prunes, and let them boil till they swell, then put in three quarters of an ounce of mace, half an ounce of cloves, two nutmegs, all of them beat fine, and mix it with a little liquor cold, and put them in a very little while, and take off the pot, then put in three pounds of sugar, a little salt, a quart of sack, a quart of claret, and the juice of two or three lemons. You may thicken with sago instead of bread (if you please); pour them into earthen pan, and keep them for use.
A Christmas Arrest
from The Gentleman's Magazine, 1822
Charles, Clapp, Benjamin Jackson, Denis Jelks, and Robert Prinset, were brought to Bow Street Office by O. Bond, the constable, charged with performing on several musical instruments in St. Martin's Lane, at half-past twelve o'clock on Christmas morning, by Mr. Munroe, the authorised principal Wait, appointed by..., who alone considers himself entitled, by his appointment, to apply for Christmas Boxes. He also urged that the prisoners, acting as minstrels, came under the meaning of the Vagrant Act,...; however the word 'minstrels' is omitted; consequently they are no longer cognizable under that Act of Parliament; and in addition to that, Mr. Charles Clapp, one of the prisoners, produced his indenture of having served seven years as an apprentice to the profession of a musician to Mr. Clay, who held the same appointment as Mr. Munroe... The prisons were discharged, after receiving an admonition from Mr. Hall, the sitting magistrate, not to collect Christmas Boxes
One of the best descriptions of the English Regency Christmas comes from an American--Washington Irving.
In the early 1820's, he wrote "Old Christmas" about the seasonal festivities he experienced in England
at a home he fictionalized as "Bracebridge Hall".
The illustrations here come from an 1876 printing of "Old Christmas".
They are by renowned 19th century British illustrator Randolph Caldecott.
His atmospheric and accurate drawings bring the Regency Christmas to life.
A Regency Christmas had many similarities to our own much-loved holiday. While there were no Saint Nicholases, no coloured electric decorations and no busy malls and very very few Christmas trees, there were still:
Journeys and Arrivals
Music and Dances
Feasts and Over-Indulgence
Visits to Church
Walks and Outings
'Old Christmas - The Squire's Banquet'
from "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent."
The dinner was served up in the great hall, where the squire always held his Christmas banquet. A blazing crackling fire of logs had been heaped on to warm the spacious apartment, and the flame went sparkling and wreathing up the wide-mouthed chimney...
We were ushered into this banquetting scene with the sound of minstrelsy; the old harper being seated on a stool beside the fireplace, and twanging the roast beef of old England, with a vast deal more power than melody. Never did Christmas board display a more goodly and gracious assemblage of countenances; those who were not handsome were, at least happy; and happiness is a rare improver of your hard-favoured visage. The parson said grace, which was not a short familiar one, such as is commonly addressed to the deity, in these unceremonious days; but a long, courtly, well-worded one, of the ancient school. There was now a pause, as if something was expected, when suddenly the Butler entered the hall, with some degree of bustle; he was attended by a servant on each side with a large wax light, and bore a silver dish, on which was an enormous pig's head, decorated with rosemary, with a lemon in its mouth, which was placed with great formality at the head of the table. The moment this pageant made its appearance, the harper struck up a flourish; at the conclusion of which the young Oxonian, on receiving a hint from the squire, gave, with an air of the most comic gravity, an old carol, the first verse of which was as follows:
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino.
The boar's head in hand bring I,
With garlands gay and rosemary.
I pray you all synge merily,
Qui estis in convivio...
When the cloth was removed, the butler brought in a huge silver vessel of rare and curious worksmanship, which he placed before the squire. Its appearance was hailed with acclamation; being the Wassail Bowl, so renowned in Christmas festivity. The contents had been prepared by the squire himself, being a beverage on the skilful mixture of which he particularly prided himself; alleging that it was too abstruse and complex for the comprehension of an ordinary servant. It was a potation, indeed, that might well make the heart of a toper leap within him; consisting of the richest and raciest wines, highly spiced and sweetened, with roasted apples bobbing about the surface.
The old gentleman's whole countenance beamed with a serene look of in-dwelling delight, as he stirred this mighty bowl. Having raised it to his lips, with a hearty wish of a merry Christmas to all present, he sent it brimming round the board, for every one to follow his example according to the primitive custom; pronouncing it "the ancient fountain of good fellowship, where all hearts met together."
After the dinner table was removed, the hall was given up to the younger members of the family, who, prompted to all kind of noisy mirth by the Oxonian and Master Simon, made its old walls ring with their merriment, as they played at romping games. I delight in witnessing the gambols of children, and particularly at the happy holiday-season, and could not help stealing out of the drawing room on hearing one of their peals of laughter...
The door suddenly flew open, and a whimsical train came trooping into the room, that might almost have been mistaken for the breaking up of the court of Fairy. That indefatigable spirit, Master Simon, in the faithful discharge of his duties as lord of misrule, had conceived the idea of a Christmas mummery, or masqueing; and having called in to his assistance the Oxonian and the young officer, who were equally ripe for any thing that should occasion romping and merriment, they had carried it into instant effect. The old housekeeper had been consulted; the antique clothes presses and wardrobes rummaged and made to yield up the reliques of finery that had not seen the light for several generations; the younger part of the company had been privately convened from the parlour and hall, and the whole had been bedizzened out, into a burlesque imitation of an antique masque.
Master Simon led the van as "ancient Christmas," quaintly apparel'd in short cloak and ruff, and a hat that might have served for a village steeple, from under which, his nose curved boldly forth with a frost bitten bloom that seemed the very trophy of a December blast. He was accompanied by the blue eyed romp, dished up as "Dame mince pie," in the venerable magnificence of faded brocade, long stomacher, peaked hat, and high heeled shoes. The young officer figured in genuine Kendal Green as Robin Hood; the fair Julia in a pretty rustic dress as Maid Marian. The rest of the train had been metamorphosed in various ways; the girls trussed up in the finery of their great grandmothers, and the striplings bewhiskered with burnt cork, and fantastically arrayed to support the characters of Roast Beef, Plum Porridge, and other worthies celebrated in ancient masqueings. The whole was under the control of the Oxonian, in the appropriate character of Misrule...
It was inspiring to see wild-eyed frolick and warm-hearted hospitality breaking out from among the chills and glooms of winter, and old age throwing off its apathy, and catching once more the freshness of youthful enjoyment. I felt an interest in the scene, also, from the consideration that these fleeting customs were posting fast into oblivion; and that this was, perhaps, the only family in England in which the whole of them were still punctiliously observed. There was a quaintness, too, mingled with all this revelry, that gave it a peculiar zest: it was suited to the time and place; and as the old manor house almost reeled with mirth, and wassail, it seemed echoing back the joviality of long-departed years.
Imperial Christmas
by Dorothy Lamon
It is Christmas eve of the year 1811, and Napoleon has been working alone in his office at the palace of the Tuileries since 10 o'clock in the evening. The large room is almost entirely dark. Here and there, in the shadow, shine some gilded objects, such as the frame of a picture, the heads of lions adorning the arms of a chair, and the heavy tassel of a curtain. Under their shades of metal, the wax candles of the two candelabra light only the large table incumbered with atlases and thick books bound in green morocco and stamped with the "N" and the crown.
The master has been working for nearly two hours, and on the geographical maps and on the charts marking the situation of his armies he bends his formidable forehead--that forehead heavy with thoughts, heavy as the world of which he meditates the conquest.
He has already the greatness of Caesar and Charlemagne; he also wishes that of Alexander. He dreams this dream without wondering at it. He knows already the Orient; he has left behind him there an immortal legend. The Nile saw him one day, a thin general with long hair, mounted on a dromedary. On the banks of the Ganges the heavy Emperor, in his gray redingote, will need the elephant of Porus. He knows how to lead the people and how to fanaticize them. He will command soldiers over there with bronze faces, wearing turbans of white muslin; he will see mixed with his staff rajahs sparkling with jewels, and he will consult the ... idols, raising their 10 arms above their mitre of diamonds, about his destiny; since not long ago, in Egypt, the flat-nosed Sphinx, before which he dreamed, leaning on his saber, would not betray its secret ...
But suddenly he raises his head with a movement of surprise. In his office, tightly closed and of which the heavy curtains are lowered, whence comes that strange and profound murmur? It seems as if the large gold bees embroidered on the silk hangings all begin to hum. The Emperor listens more attentively, and in that noise he distinguishes vibrations of brass.
"Ah! yes--Christmas--the midnight mass."...
The Emperor dreams--and in the confused sound of the bells which call to the midnight Mass he imagines he hears the cadenced march of the troops and the rolling of the ammunition wagons far away on the icy roads of Germany and Poland. Intoxicated with paternal ambition, he thinks more than ever of the Grand Army and of the conquest of Russia and India, and he swears to himself to leave to his heir all the thrones of the Old World. He has already given to him the city of St. Peter for a toy; the new-born will soon have other holy cities among his playthings...
And while the Emperor pursues his monstrous chimera, imagining the reign of his son and of his son's successors on the entire world, and fancying himself, Naploeon, having become, in the course of time and of legend, a fabulous myth, a new Mars, a solar god triumphant in the midst of the Zodiac of his 12 marshals, the bells still ring, joyously, triumphantly, desperately, in honour of the poor little Child born at Bethlehem, who really conquered the world 1,900 years ago, not with blood and with victories, but with the word of peace and of love, and who shall reign over souls in the endless chain of centuries.

Q: implicit conversion with by-name parameter using Validation.fromTryCatch Trying to make implicit method that converts function a: => T to Validation[Throwable, String]
//works correctly
val t3 = test3
t3.fold(e => println("got error: " + e), s => println("got success: " + s.toString))

def test3: Validation[Throwable, String] ={
    Validation.fromTryCatch{
      throw new RuntimeException()
      "success"
    }
}

//does not work, exception is being thrown
val t4 = test4
implicit def trycatch2v[T](a: => T): Validation[Throwable, T]  = Validation.fromTryCatch(a)

def test4: Validation[Throwable, String] ={
      throw new RuntimeException()
      "success"
}

Why my implicit def is not being called?

A: Here is the same scenario with Try.
def test3: Try [String] = Try { throw new RuntimeException(); "success" }

test3 // works fine.

implicit def toTry[T](a: => T): Try[T] = { println("convert to try!"); Try(a) }

def test4: Try[String] = { throw new RuntimeException(); "success"}

{ throw new RuntimeException(); "success"  }.getOrElse("failed") // works fine.

// type checker finds that the return type of block is String,
//   which does not have a getOrElse
// so it falls back on implicit conversion for the block. as follows:

toTry( {throw new RuntimeException(); "success"  }).getOrElse("failed")

test4 // gives runtime exception

 // test4 has an *expected type* of Try[String]
 // The return type of block is String ("success")
 // So implicit conversion kicks in from ':=> String' to 'Try[String]'
 // this conversion is not for the outer block but for the inner block.

 // so in essence, it is converted to:

 def test4: Try[String] = { throw new RuntimeException(); toTry({"success"}) }

Imagine, you're a college basketball superstar, the point guard at powerhouse Duke University. Life is good. And it was for Jay Williams, the ultra-talented hoops sensation, a two-time national player of the year who helped lead the Blue Devils to a National Championship. He graduated as a junior with a degree in Sociology and then, in 2002, was the second player chosen in the NBA Draft. Known for having one of the fastest first steps in the sport, the young Chicago Bull was living the life of fame and fortune. Until the day in June of 2003 when it was all taken away from him in the blink of an eye. Jay Williams' life was forever changed. In his unflinchingly honest new book, "Life Is Not An Accident," Jay shares his story of fear, heartbreak and redemption. The Overhead Compartment was thrilled to play a little one-on-one with Jay Williams to learn about his life today, why he is willing to be so open, and all the ways he grew from the self-made obstacles he overcame.
LIFE IS NOT AN ACCIDENT is available now everywhere books are sold.
OC: In your book "Life Is Not An Accident" you are extremely open about some of the worst moments of your life. What made you decide to share those now?
JW: When I first decided I wanted to write a book, everyone told me that I needed to wait until I was more accomplished. "Give it another ten years or so, you can have more of a story to write then", they would say. I quickly would counter by saying that if my accident taught me anything, it opened my eyes to the fact that nothing in this life is guaranteed. Why wouldn't I write a book to share my story and share my struggles with people? Fact is, we all have struggled in some form or fashion. Yes, I made a mistake that involved a horrific motorcycle accident but everyone has had some type of adversity facing them in their lives. Sharing my story has not only helped me but hopefully will help others to deal with their "setbacks". I quote that word because in that time of pain and depression, that's how you view adversity. It's not until you accept that pain that you learn that it can be a vehicle which can make you stronger.
OC: Was it hard to write?
JW: The word "hard" would be quite an understatement when describing how arduous of a process it was to write this book. How much of my life do I share? Do I talk about my drug addiction issue? Do I talk about my drinking problems while not sugar coating anything? Will people forever judge me if I take the reader down the dark path I was living? Do I talk about my family? The answer to all these questions is YES. I went through draft after draft for a long time trying to please everyone by making sure they were 100 percent comfortable with what I spoke about. But I quickly realized that while writing a book, there is no way that is possible if I were to share my truth. I had to be honest with myself, which was difficult to face at times.
OC: What sort of response have you been receiving to your openness?
JW: Of course people are going to judge me about the decisions my family and I have made, but I have to expect that. I am sharing my life with the world and everyone will have an opinion, which is expected. But I am tired of worrying about what everyone else thinks. This is my life and I have little time to focus on people that want to drag me down. I live my life in a positive space and have a different outlook. I didn't hold anything back and I hope people find that to be refreshing. As athletes that played on a high level, we are pre-programmed to be somewhat mute. Don't share your life or your perspective on issues because it can divide your fan base or cause controversy. I welcome that now.
OC: What is one thing you hope anyone who reads the book will take away from it?
JW: That it's easy to lose yourself in the past. I found myself so fixated on "what could've been" that I never paid attention to what was right in front of me. I was handcuffed to my own misery. We all experience pain, defeat, regret and anger while we ride this roller coaster of life. Life is complicated and it wasn't meant to be easy but there is a silver lining in everything. You just have to search for it and not allow that pain to define you.
OC: You were the number 2 player drafted in the NBA to the Chicago Bulls, what was that night like for you and what did you do to celebrate?
JW: The day I got drafted was such a whirlwind that it almost felt like I never truly got a chance to enjoy it. From not being able to sleep the night before due to my anxiety to shaking David Stern's hand and realizing that "I" just became a business was surreal. There were so many moving parts with teams trying to trade up potentially or trade down. Honestly, it didn't matter where I got drafted. I was just elated that my journey had finally brought me to the point where I could touch that star in the sky I'd been staring at for 20 years. My draft party, which I talk about in my book, was epic in more ways than one.
OC: You spent three years playing for Mike Krzyzewski at Duke, give me one great Coach K story.
JW: One of my favorite Coach K moments was after I dropped 38 points on Kentucky in the Meadowlands. Kentucky was loaded that year with the likes of Keith Bogans and Tayshawn Prince. After we did the presser, Coach K pulled me over to the side and looked me in the eyes and said, "This is who you are… This is who you have always been. I love you". As an insecure kid, I always questioned myself and he knew it. Coach K has such an innate ability to get you to become lost in moments. He made me realize the importance of actually being present.
OC: Players go into the NBA at such young ages today, what advice do you have for them?
JW: The lifestyle of the rich and famous is so easy to get consumed by. Your reality becomes warped over night. A hundred dollar bill quickly becomes a dollar bill. Planes, fancy cars, the women, the money, the fame all wait to monopolize you. You can easily lose yourself in the material things that your new life can provide. You can become aloof, standoffish and distant because everyone wants something or you think they do because your ego is blown out of porportion. They want to start new businesses, introduce you to new friends, use you as leverage and even take advantage of you. All these things are true but in order to become successful you MUST stay grounded. You have to realize that all of this could be gone in a second. Surround yourself with people who aren't "yes men", people who have your best interest and aren't afraid to tell you when you are wrong.
OC: How about for their parents?
JW: If you are a parent of someone going to the NBA, my advice would be to communicate with your child as if he is an adult. The fact of the matter is that he is an adult and now has adult responsibilities. If you happen to work for him, that could make things a bit more difficult. They might control the money but you never have to stop being their parent. When money gets involved, a power play could exist. That child might want to prove that he can make decisions on his own without your help. You as a parent have to live with that to a certain degree but also sitting down with them and explaining the repercussions of their actions will be beyond helpful. Make them realize what the long term plan is. Also surround them with people who can also help get the point across. Sometimes parents become white noise. Having a support team in place to reaffirm your sentiments would provide major dividends in the longterm.
JW: My favorite city is the one I currently live in. NYC is a city filled with different adventures and I absolutely love the diversity. Il Mulino is by far my favorite restaurant… I know you didn't ask but I thought I would share anyway.
JW: I am so random. I go to Central Park sometimes and play chess. Other times, I just find myself wandering around. I love exploring.
JW: Charissa and I took a trip to Italy a couple of years ago and got a chance to visit Florence, Rome and Venice. We did everything from visit the Sistine Chapel to visit the Vatican. While in Venice, we were having a very romantic dinner on the water and talking about our life goals. While in the middle of a very deep and real conversation, we both were awe struck at the biggest Yacht we had ever seen. We looked at each other and said, "We have to get to that level one day". As we were laughing about the chance of that happening being slim, we heard a voice call my name. The guy getting off the boat was none other than Micky Arison, the chairman of Carnival Cruises and owner of the Miami Heat. His son Nick and I were teammates at Duke on the basketball team. What are the chances we bump into him all the way in Italy? We always laugh about that story to this day.
OC: What arena has the loudest fans in college basketball?
JW: The arena that was the loudest by far was Cole Field at Maryland. Unfortunately the Terrapins built a new arena but Cole definitely gave them the best home court advantage I ever witnessed.
JW: The first thing I do when I arrive in my hotel room is throw my bags down and jump on the bed. It's the little kid in me and I refuse to let it go. Childhood tendencies keep me happy and feeling young.
JW: I never leave home without my "American Express"… Just joking but not really. Looking for an endorsement deal potentially (LOL!) I truly never leave home without dressing well. My father always said, dress for the job you want, not for the job you have. I love style and putting things together. It's a passion.
Jay Williams, please use care upon departure as items may have shifted in The Overhead Compartment during our journey. Thanks for choosing us for your travel tips! Have a wonderful day!

A deadly firefight and a fire aboard a ship docked in the San Pedro Bay leaves only two survivors: a Hungarian criminal named Arkos Kovaz hospitalized from severe burns, and a small-time con artist, Roger "Verbal" Kint (Kevin Spacey), a pathetic cripple. Separately, FBI agent Jack Baer (Giancarlo Esposito) and Customs agent Dave Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) arrive in San Pedro, lured by reports of a large cocaine shipment, and Kujan's personal vendetta against Dean Keaton (Gabriel Byrne), a formerly corrupt police officer who has since given up his life of crime but who was supposedly involved in the massacre. While Baer is at the hospital attempting to get security for Kovaz, Kovaz begins yelling in Hungarian, and mentions the name Keyser Söze, which stops and stuns Baer. As Verbal later explains, Söze has a near mythical and vengeful reputation, having killed his own family when they were held hostage by a Hungarian gang and then killing all but one of the gang members before disappearing underground, keeping his true identity secret by insulating himself from his agents, who usually do not know for whom they are working.

Provisions relating to GST on LIC Policy (Also can be referred as GST on Insurance) have been clearly laid down. LIC Policy is going to be effected by GST in a big way. In our earlier article, we have already explained the concept of Reverse Charge under GST. With the introduction of the GST, LIC Policy and also other Insurance premiums like Vehicle Insurance etc are also going to get expensive. You can see upward shift in Endowment Plans, Motor Insurance and almost all health plans.
Under the present regime, non-linked endowment insurance products are taxed at a lower service tax rate. The Model GST Law does not have a specific provision for such products.
where services are provided to other than registered persons, location of service receiver on the records of the service provider.
There are two parts of insurance i.e. protection and investment and service tax is levied on the protection part and not on the investment part.
Hence, the term plans will be impacted the most and may become costlier by around 300-500 basis points as the sector currently attracts 15% service tax, which may shoot up to 18-22% depending on the rate the GST Council agrees on.
This could impact middle class the most as they invest more in insurance policies than any other investments options.
On the industry prospective, higher tax rate will have a negative impact as not only the policies will become costlier but processes will also become complex.
Life insurance penetration has shown negative growth over the last few years and the higher tax rate will make it difficult for the industry to get the required pace from here.
Through this article, we tried to clear all questions relating to GST on LIC Policy and Insurance on a whole. If you have any further questions on GST on LIC Policy and Insurance, feel free to post your questions below on our comments section.

I found this really fun museum in Baltimore: The American Visionary Art Museum. Just looking at the outside, you knew there would be delightful things on the inside.
This was part of the welcome mat (spelling out AVAM), made out of toothbrushes it looked like it belonged to the next museum I went to... …The National Museum of Dentistry, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, and designated by Congress as the nation's official museum of the dental profession.
In 1836 John Jay Smith, a Quaker, designed Laurel Hill as a picturesque cemetery to be a permanent, non-sectarian burial space which would also accommodate the needs of the living. Consisting of 78 acres on a hill, running along the Schuylkill River it is a testament to Victorian times, when people strolled, took carriage rides and held picnics in the cemetery as if it were Central Park (which was built 20 years later). The first sight to greet visitors, up a short flight of stairs is a small three wall structure with these unusually sculptures.
They depict Sir Walter Scott's novel Old Mortality. Scott, the one with the cane leaning against a headstone, is conversing with Old Man Mortality perched on top of a stone coffin. Why a pony and a bust of James Thom are listening in, is a mystery to me.
The above angel is one of the few who still has all her digits; unfortunately most of them show signs of vandalism, like the angel below.
Then there were many statues with severe erosion.
I was amazed at the number of obelisks in this cemetery.
Memorial to General Hugh Mercer, a Scotsman who served as a surgeon in the Jacobite army at the Battle of Culloden and later as brigadier general in the Continental Army.
This must have been a specular image when she was whole.
From the right angle, she still is.
Don't see many hats on cemetery statues.


Gartner predicted that by 2019, 90% of large organisations will have hired a CDO – but only 50% of these will be a success. Much of what determines your success or failure going forward will take place in the first 100 days. Essentially it is about getting the basics right now and building firm foundations for the future.
What do you expect when you start?
The first hundred days are important to set the expectations for the CDO you are going to be going forward; now from one CDO to another, expect a real rollercoaster of a ride, there will be amazing highs followed by moments where you sit with your head in your hands wondering what on earth you have done. Basically a microcosm of the rest of your role as a CDO just crammed into a shorter time period.
The very first thing you need to do is understand your organisation's case for change; if it's not there, create it; if it needs help, redefine it. But whatever you do make sure you have a clear easy-to-describe case for change. In order to be an effective CDO you will be changing the organisation, and no change starts without a burning platform or an absolutely massive benefit at the end. If you can't find the case for change then you might as well go home at this point.
The case for change helps you set the vision for what benefits you are aiming for, whether they are saving the organisation from repeating mistakes or gaining insight to derive more value. It's the compelling argument that makes people want to help create the future you are selling. It also helps to set your scope out and start to set expectations about what you will and won't be doing. People often forget about the 'not doing' part of a scope but it's equally important as what you are doing, if not more so, without it people can overlay their own expectations and just assume they are getting everything they've always wanted just because they misinterpreted what you meant. Whilst you need to create a compelling vision, it's best to be realistic about where you can go, what it will feel like, and how long it is going to take to make a difference.
There is no point in starting a journey without having an idea of your destination. You don't need a fixed point you are trying to drag the company to, rather an idea in mind of where you are leading them. A bit like giving them a treasure map where you might not have buried the treasure yet but you know what island you are burying it on, they will get more maps the closer to the goal they get.
We are going to assume you have a team in place, knowing how long this process can take, unless we assume you have a team in place the whole story of your first 100 days will be taken up by fighting to get people to come and help you against departments who practice the dark arts and refuse to let you see the play book. There is a need to have people around you to help as no one person will ever be able to change the company without a lot of support. Apart from the need for skills and experience that are varied and wide ranging, you also need the support when you have some of your rollercoaster lows to help you get back on the upward track.
Let's face it, you will be making changes to the organisation and you might not always get it right first time – remember the old saying 'if you never make a mistake you aren't trying hard enough!' so what must be in place is a way of letting people know what is expected of them, what are they really accountable for; be that policies, standards, procedures or whatever your company used to help everyone understand their responsibilities, as well as a control mechanism for managing those policies. How do you make decisions on how the organisation needs to treat its data and information? Who is involved in this process? If you are smart you get people involved who cover large parts of your company – the plot for 'buy in' starts here.
Next let's look at your information architecture, not the vast swathes of detail that sit in your data dictionary (at least not at this point) but the big headings. What are the top 5 to 10 ish headings which describe all the information in your company and (most importantly) who is the one person who could make a decision on each one. This is not about playing the blame game, that just makes individuals hide from any kind of accountability and leads to a kind of company wide whack a mole game. Remember the quote from above 'if you aren't making mistakes….' Your information domain owners are accountable experts in their fields who understand specific areas of information within your business and can give firm direction and decisions in their area. Once you have the highest conceptual level agreed then it's time to move onto the next level, adding richer detail as you go.
Lastly and definitely not least, how are you going to engage with the company? Where is your network of evangelists coming from who will sell your message? It's great that you know who can make decisions about the information and that you have clear instructions on how people should treat your company's data but it really is pointless unless you tell them. Naturally we are talking about mass company wide emails that of course everyone reads every detail of, inwardly digests and miraculously and immediately changes their behaviour…….. in our dreams! This is hearts and minds time here, what is your compelling argument to change, how are you making their life better and what is in it for them that makes it worth changing their behaviour? At the very least tell them what you expect from them.
Get all that right and at least you know you have covered off your basics while you start your journey.

When was the last time you tasted the sublime?
When did you last feel wonder?
Can you remember feeling awed by something?
These are things we need, if we are to thrive. They are fuel for the higher human abilities. If we lack them, as is currently endemic throughout the West, our higher abilities will lag.
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence, nor imagination, nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Sadly, the modern West has become a mad scramble to distract as many sets of eyes as possible, and to keep them – to own them – for as long as possible. And so long as professional distractors own your imagination, you won't experience much in the way of awe.
Think of Google and Facebook; these outfits bring in billions of dollars per month, based almost entirely on how much human attention they can capture. Likewise the many news networks; they get paid according to how many people watch their images for how many minutes. These people are serious about owning your brain cycles; they employ armies of employees to count, gather, plan, and improve their ownership of your eyes.
Please understand the content they deliver serves only to grasp your attention.
Certainly websites like Freeman's Perspective also want your attention but not for its own sake. I want your attention because I think we have something worthwhile to communicate, not to own your brain. Facebook and Google want to own you… the inner you.
Likewise the lords of academiaI am not including kind, benevolent teachers in this group… some of whom still survive in modern academia.; they want your mind to bear their impress… permanently.
Consider, for example, the many academics who espouse cold, rationalist, materialistic philosophies: that we are no more than preprogrammed machines, that words can never really communicate anything, that humanity is ignorant and dangerous.
Have you noticed that they reek of "smarter than thou"?
Then if you have the opportunity, examine their lives for beautiful acts, for loving passions, for kindness and deep benevolence. If your experience is anything like mine, you'll notice a striking lack of those things.
Among the greatest of all contrasts to the upward movements of the heart are those pertaining to dominance, status, and rulership. They are natural antagonists.
Think of drinking in the wonders of the universe, the beauty of nature, the glorious love between a good parent and their child… and then contrast those things with the blight of the dominator "protecting" you at the point of a sword… of the politician cultivating your fears like a gardener cultivates a garden… of the lover of status who feels pleasure when seeing you beneath her.
Dominance, status, and rulership are the drives of the people who abuse us. And they are primary causes for our elevated experiences being diminished.
The things that contribute to our higher nature have been driven away from the Western world, and often systematically. Humans who are denuded of the higher things are far less trouble to rule, and they are far easier to manipulate… to own without their noticing.
Lay under the stars and wonder.
Look into the face of a child and experience his or her awe of the world.
Sit in the wilderness and imagine benevolence and beauty and goodness unchained.
Lie in bed and imagine yourself with a conscious sense of righteousness.
Imagine yourself with no embedded fear.
Ruminate over good things you could do in the future, over beautiful things you'd do in the right circumstances.
Politics poisons this, dominators wish to subdue it, sociopaths cannot experience it.
Get as much of it as you can. Go out of your way to cultivate it.
1. ↑ I am not including kind, benevolent teachers in this group… some of whom still survive in modern academia.

Bourdais Stays Hot In Desert
Info Manager | , RacinToday.com Saturday, April 7 2018
Sebastien Bourdais is congratulated after winning the pole Friday for Sunday's IndyCar Series race in Phoenix.
Sebastien Bourdais continued his hot start to the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season, winning the pole on Friday for Sunday's Phoenix Grand Prix.
The pole for Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan driver comes a month after he won the season-opening race at St. Petersburg, Florida.
Bourdais averaged 188.539 mph for his two qualifying laps around the 1.022-mile oval. It was Bourdais' 34th pole of his 13-year Indy car career.
"We just have got a great group of guys working really hard, trying to make it happen," Bourdais said. "When you do, it's really sweet.
"I really knew what I had (and) that's the best possible way to go qualifying. I knew I could hang it out because I knew what I was running."
A benefit of the being the championship points leader, Bourdais was last in the Phoenix qualifying order and ran in cooler conditions under the setting sun. It helped the 39-year-old from Le Mans, France, earn a pole position on an oval for the first time since Milwaukee in June 2006, when Bourdais was in the midst of winning four consecutive Champ Car titles.
It was also the second pole in the 35-year history of Dale Coyne Racing, following Mike Conway at Detroit's Belle Isle in 2013.
"That SealMaster No. 18 Honda was really solid," Bourdais said. "As soon as that track temp cooled off, it just gives you all the grip you need to make it happen. It's high tension, high pressure, really listening to the car and making sure you don't overdo it."
Simon Pagenaud, last year's race winner at ISM Raceway, qualified second with a two-lap average of 188.148 mph in the No. 22 Team Penske Chevrolet. Teammate and 2014 series champion Will Power was third at 186.852 mph.
"I think we did a really good job considering the conditions," said Pagenaud, the 2016 series champion. "The car, she was really nice, it was perfect."
Alexander Rossi qualified fourth for Andretti Autosport in the No. 27 Honda (186.824 mph). Schmidt Peterson Motorsports teammates James Hinchcliffe and rookie Robert Wickens locked up the third row of the starting grid: Hinchcliffe qualifying fifth at 185.741 mph in the No. Honda and Wickens sixth in the No. 6 Honda (185.362 mph).
"There was a big change in track conditions from just two hours ago," Rossi said. "It was a good two laps – I'm happy with it. We qualified fourth and had a strong run for the team. It's definitely a handful out there, I hope the fans get quite the show tomorrow night because we're working really hard out there."
"A huge credit to the Schmidt Peterson Motorsports guys because we did not have a great test here back in February," Hinchcliffe said. "Obviously things have changed a lot conditions-wise, but we went back (after the test), had a big think about it, a big look inside ourselves. I just can't thank those guys and gal enough for getting us good cars and getting us both up there. It's awesome."
Saturday's 250-lap race will be the 64th for Indy cars at the historic mile oval outside Phoenix dating to when the track opened in 1964. It will air live at 9 p.m. ET Saturday on NBCSN and the INDYCAR Radio Network.

This Extended Package (EP) describes security requirements for a network device that implements Media Access Control Security (MACsec) encryption to secure communications over a trusted channel and is intended to provide a minimal, baseline set of requirements that are targeted at mitigating well defined and described threats. However, this EP is not complete in itself, but rather extends the Security Requirements for Network Devices collaborative Protection Profile (NDcPP).
This EP specifically addresses MACsec, which allows authorized systems using Ethernet Transport to maintain confidentiality of transmitted data and to take measures against frames that are transmitted or modified by unauthorized devices.
MACsec protects communication between trusted components of the network infrastructure, thus protecting the network operation. It facilitates maintenance of correct network connectivity and services as well as isolation of denial of service attacks.
The hardware, firmware, and software of the MACsec device define the physical boundary. All of the security functionality is contained and executed within the physical boundary of the device. For example, given a computer with an Ethernet card, the whole computer is considered to be within the boundary.
Since this EP builds on the NDcPP, conformant TOEs are obligated to implement the functionality required in the NDcPP along with the additional functionality defined in this EP in response to the threat environment discussed later in this document.
It is intended that the set of requirements in this EP is limited in scope in order to promote quicker, less costly evaluations that provide some value to end users.

Mission Bio Announces its First Single-Cell Tapestri Center of Excellence for Solid Tumor Research
Pioneering cancer pathologist Jorge Reis-Filho's lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to develop best practices integrating Tapestri single-cell multi-omics capabilities
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2022 — Mission Bio, the pioneer in high-throughput single-cell DNA and multi-omics analysis, today announced its first Center of Excellence, located at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and run by Jorge Reis-Filho, MD, PhD. Dr. Reis-Filho is a breast cancer expert and Director of Experimental Pathology at MSK. His work combines traditional breast cancer pathology approaches with new genomics and artificial intelligence technologies. As the first single-cell Tapestri Center of Excellence for solid tumor research, his lab will drive academic and industrial best practices using single-cell DNA profiling to observe tumor heterogeneity and clonal architecture in solid cancers.
Dr. Reis-Filho's work has already verified panel content for Mission Bio's Tapestri platform and highlighted potential uses. Last year, his lab contributed to the single-cell sequencing experiments in a study published in Nature and led by fellow MSK researcher Piro Lito, MD, PhD, whose team demonstrated how Tapestri could uniquely help elucidate mechanisms of cancer resistance. Using Mission Bio's single-cell DNA sequencing technology, they revealed co-occurrence of secondary driver mutations in cells carrying the KRAS (G12C) mutation, allowing them to circumvent and resist targeted therapy. This represents an important insight into one of the most promising new drugs in solid tumors. Through the Center of Excellence, his team will work closely with Mission Bio's R&D teams, sharing insights and guidance for improving nuclei extraction protocols, rolling out new virtual panel content for BRCA-mutant cancers and other cancer types, and soon, enhancing copy number variation analysis.
"Exploring new aspects of the biology of solid malignancies, their intra-tumor genetic heterogeneity, and evolutionary trajectories is crucial for furthering this research," said Dr. Reis-Filho. "Mission Bio has been a great collaborator throughout our research, working with us on sample prep workflows and panel content to expand our understanding of solid tumor dynamics, and we're looking forward to this next stage of collaborative research."
Through its centers of excellence, Mission Bio is partnering with leaders within the solid tumor research community as it continues to build and refine Tapestri's functionality to explore heterogeneity across tumor types. Tapestri is the only commercial product capable of simultaneously analyzing DNA and other analytes like cell surface proteins at the single-cell level through its unique two-step droplet microfluidics technology. Recent high-profile research in breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and colorectal cancer, and melanoma have shown the importance of understanding cancer at a higher resolution. Tapestri can be used to interrogate clonal mosaicism and neoplastic transition, clonal evolution, and metastatic dissemination with its ability to co-detect SNVs and CNVs at the single-cell level in a scalable manner. As a tool for understanding disease resistance, users can detect rare emergent clones early with reliable and sensitive loss of heterozygosity measurements to understand how driver mutations are added over time that allows tumor escape and metastasis. And single-cell multi-omic analysis has growing importance in precision cancer medicine, clarifying the clonal structure of tumors to guide combination therapeutic development and personalized treatment.
"We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Reis-Filho's lab as we inaugurate our solid tumor Centers of Excellence," said Yan Zhang, PhD, CEO of Mission Bio. "Single-cell analysis is helping us challenge cancer resistance, opening new avenues for both academic research and improving clinical outcomes. We look forward to expanding this collaboration and building more like it with additional experts as we shine a new light across the solid tumor landscape."

The company's Tapestri platform gives researchers around the globe the power to interrogate every molecule in a cell together, providing a comprehensive understanding of activity from a single sample. Tapestri is the only commercialized multi-omics platform capable of analyzing DNA and protein simultaneously from the same sample at single-cell resolution. The Tapestri Platform is being utilized by customers at leading research centers, pharmaceutical, and diagnostics companies worldwide to develop treatments and eventually cures for cancer.
