American rapper from Long Beach, California, Dominick Wickliffe, better known by his stage name Crooked I or KXNG CROOKED, drop a new freestyle from his weekly freestyles activities.
The rapper brought back his "Hip Hop Weekly" freestyle series earlier this year.
He's been consistently delivering new freestyles for his fans on a weekly basis.
KXNG CROOKED is best known as a former member of the hip hop supergroup Slaughterhouse with other members Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5'9″.
KXNG CROOKED has been blessing fans with a ton of new music this year in support of his weekly Hip Hop series, and thankfully he doesn't look to be slowing down either.
CROOKED flxes his lyrical muscle with intricate bars and complex punchlines.
"Live 4 It" serves as the fourth entry in his weekly series since the release of The Weeklys, Vol. 1.


I truly believe I was blessed with the greatest parents on earth. They overcame many challenges in raising 6 children and sacrificed much for us.
This really touched my heart. It almost made me cry.
Mom and Dad, you are the best!
and taught me with great care.
and how much you mean to me.
and each sacrifice of love.
could be more loved than you.

I was adopted and this really sums up everything that my parents have given me in all those years and still giving me. I love my parents.
We all have parents and we should always respect and treasure them for as long as they lived, for you won't get another Mom or Dad in this life.
So, we better, no we must tell them how much we love them and thank them for the good times and the bad times that we thought we had by wanting to be rebellious to what they only wanted to teach us.
And now that we are older, we can see they only wanted to teach us, so we would be responsible for ourselves and the families that we would have...yes, we must grow up and become adults with our own children to bring them up as our parents taught us....as God's word says train up a child...that means a lot.

Q: binary tree code does not work properly I made a tree structure, read words from file and registered them to the tree. But the enter() does not work properly. I debuged with gdb and set a break point line 42. Then I entered print *node print *root.
(gdb) print node
$9 = (struct node *) 0x603250

Why does root points nothing?
Why does not node->word point given word?

A: At no point do you ever assign root. Therefore it will always stay NULL.
Note that, in enter, you allocate a node but don't actually save the resulting node anywhere. You may want to return the new node and do root = enter(root, word) instead.

A: as @nneonneo pointed out, you should either return the newly modified root, or pass root as a pointer reference, having void enter(struct node **node, char *word) and calling it with enter(&root, word);

A: It looks like you never assign any value to root. Remember, C passes arguments by value, so when you call enter(root, word); from scan(), enter() can't change the value of root. It changes its local copy of it, though, but that is not enough.
The same problem occurs when you recursively call enter.
One way of fixing this could be to pass a pointer to the node pointer, so you can change it that way:
enter(&root, word);

with this declaration:
void enter(struct node **nodep, char *word) {

and adapt all uses of node inside it to become *nodep.

A: You assign node in enter(), but since it's passed by copy, not reference, node is not changed outside the function.
Either return the new node root = enter(root, word) or pass by reference: enter(&root, word), changing the footprint of enter to void enter(struct node **node, char *word) and all the instances of node within to *node.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: St. John's Wort (SJW) is known to induce expression and activity of cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4). However, its effects on other cytochrome P450 (CYP) are not well understood. Our objective was to characterise the effect of SJW on the expression of CYP1A2 in the LS180 intestinal cell model. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: LS180 cells were cultured in the presence and absence of SJW extract for 48 hours. CYP1A2 protein content was measured by Western blot analysis using monoclonal antibody. Time-dependent expression of CYP1A2 was assessed during exposure to SJW extract for 24 hours and following its removal for another 24 hours. RESULTS: SJW increased the expression of CYP1A2 in the LS180 cells in a concentration dependent manner. The induction was time-dependent, as enzyme levels returned to baseline within 4-8 hours after removal of SJW. CONCLUSIONS: SJW reversibly induces expression of CYP1A2 in LS180 cells. This induction may be responsible for reduced plasma theophylline concentrations upon co-administration of SJW, as reported earlier.

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a family of monooxygenase enzymes present in the intestinal and liver cells which catalyse several Phase I metabolic processes including oxidation, hydroxylation, S and O demethylation and oxidative deamination of more than 70% of prescription drugs.[1] This results in inactivation and pre-systemic clearance of a large fraction of the administered dose, thereby reducing its systemic bioavailability and contributing to first pass metabolism. In the past, the liver was considered to be the primary organ responsible for first pass metabolism. Recently, intestinal meta-bolism has been shown to cause low bioavailability of drugs such as cyclosp-orine and midazolam.[2],[3] Although CYP3A4 is the major enzyme involved in the intestinal first pass metabolism, other CYPs including CYP1A2 have also been identified in the intestinal mucosa. CYP1A2 is the second most abundant CYP isozyme and contributes to approximately 15% of hepatic CYP content in humans. It is the primary CYP involved in the metabolism of drugs such as imipramine, propranolol, clozapine, caffeine and theophylline.[4]
St. John's Wort (SJW), a herbal product derived from the perennial plant Hypericum perforatum and has gained immense popularity as an antidepressant. SJW is a complex mixture of over two dozen constituents of which hypericin and hyperforin have been identified as active components.[5] In recent years, there have been numerous case reports of interactions between SJW and prescription drugs metabolised by CYPs such as indinavir, cyclosprorin A, warfarin, digoxin, and theophylline.[6] Several in vitro<?i> and in vivo studies have evaluated the effects of SJW extract on the expression and activity of hepatic CYP3A4 and the drug efflux protein P-glycoprotein (Pgp).[7],[8],[9],[10],[11] These data suggest that SJW induces CYP3A4 activity, which could explain many of these drug inte-ractions. Additionally, SJW may also induce intestinal Pgp expression and activity and influence pharmacokinetics of drugs such as indinavir and digoxin.[7],[8] Recently, a pharmacokinetic interaction between SJW and theophylline was reported, where plasma concentrations following SJW therapy were decreased.[12] Since theophylline is metabolised mainly by CYP1A2, it is plausible that induction of CYP1A2 by SJW may explain the reduced theophylline concentrations and loss of therapeutic efficacy.
Our aim was to determine the effect of SJW on CYP1A2 expression in an in vitro model of intestinal cells (LS180).
LS180 cells were purchased from American Tissue Cell Culture (Rockville, MD). SJW extract was kindly gifted by Pure World Chemicals (Hackensack, NJ). This extract was reported to contain 0.3% hypericin and 5% hyperforin content, which was verified by the supplier using HPLC (Lot# OOI-3334 – actual content 0.315% hypericin and 5.61% hyperforin). Relative dilutions were made from the working solution (100x) containing 10 ?M hyperforin and 9.4 ?M hypericin. ?-naphthaflavone (BNF) was purchased from Sigma Chemicals (Fair Lawn, NJ). Monoclonal anti-CYP1A2 antibodies were purchased from Gentest Corporation (Boston, MA) and minimum essential medium (MEM) and foetal bovine serum (FBS) from Gibco (Lenexa, KS).
The LS180 cells were cultured in MEM supplemented with 10% FBS in six well tissue culture plates with 5% CO2 and 95% relative humidity. To examine the effect of SJW on the expression of CYP1A2, cells were treated with increasing concentrations of the extract (1x, 10x, and 100x) for 48 hours. Cells treated in plain medium and BNF (50 ?M), a known inducer of CYP1A2, were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. After 48 hours, the cells were lysed and CYP1A2 content was measured by Western blot analysis.
For the time of exposure experiment, LS180 cells were cultured in the same manner as mentioned above. The cells were then treated with SJW (100x) for 24 hours. Cell lysates were obtained at 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours upon treatment. After 24 hours, cells were treated with SJW free medium for 24 hours and samples were then obtained at 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours and analysed by Western blot.
Cell lysis was accomplished by adding 200 ?l lysis buffer containing Tris buffer, EDTA, Triton X-100, glycerol, sodium vandate, and benzamidine. The cell lysates were centrifuged and the supernatant was diluted with sample buffer. The proteins were separated on a 15 % SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a PVDF membrane. The membrane was incubated overnight in 1:1000 dilution of monoclonal CYP1A2 antibody followed by anti-mouse secondary antibody for 1 hour. A constitutional protein in cells (? tubulin) was also developed as loading control. The proteins were visualised using electrochemo-luminisence reagents. The protein bands were scanned and quantified by densitometric image-Q scanning software.
Exposure of LS180 cells to SJW extract resulted in a concentration dependent increase in the expression of CYP1A2 [Figure - 1]. Protein expression increased by 2, 30, and 90% at 1x, 10x, and 100x SJW concentrations, respectively, compared to baseline [Figures:1,2]. Marked induction of CYP1A2 was observed in the presence of BNF (positive control).
[Figure - 3] demonstrates the expression of CYP1A2 in LS180 cells at various time points upon exposure to SJW extract and after its removal. There was a time dependent increase in the expression of CYP1A2 up to 24-hours. After removal of SJW, there was rapid reversal of the CYP1A2 expression to baseline within 4 - 8 hours.
SJW is widely used for treating depression, mood swings and anxiety. Since this herbal product is not regulated by federal drug approval agencies, self-medication with SJW may result in the potential for drug interactions. Due to its natural origin it is largely considered to be safe and free of side effects. However, co-administration with many conventional medications can result in treatment failure or side effects.[6] Recent studies have shown that SJW induces expression and activity of CYP3A4 in the liver and likely induces Pgp in the intestine.[9],[10] Whether SJW has the capacity to induce CYP enzymes other than CYP3A4 is unclear.
Our results suggest that SJW induces CYP1A2 expression in an in vitro model of intestinal cells (LS180). These results may explain a previous report that showed a reduction in plasma theophylline concentrations upon co-administration of the extract observed in a woman taking theophylline along with SJW.[12]
The LS180 cell line used in these experiments is a derivative of human colon cancer cells with constitutional and inducible expression of various CYP enzymes.[9] CYP3A4 induction has been demonstrated in these cells by drugs such as rifampicin, verapamil, erythromycin, which have also shown to induce CYP3A4 in humans.[13] Additionally, this cell line was used to study the induction of CYP1A2 after treatment with 3-methylcholanthrene, known inducer of the enzyme.[14] As noted in [Figure - 1], there was up to 90% induction of CYP1A2 protein by SJW. According to Biber et al, the maximum hyperforin plasma levels reached following a single dose of SJW is approximately 0.3 mM.[15] However, it is possible that the intestinal mucosa is exposed to much higher concentrations of hyperforin (> 10 mM) compared to plasma concentrations. We realize that a limitation of our study is that SJW concentrations used may not represent the concentrations obtained in vivo, and that the effect of metabolites on CYP1A2 expression was not investigated. These limitations may partly explain the recent observations of Wang et al, where the effect of SJW on CYP1A2, 2C9, 2D6 and 3A4 in healthy volunteers was assessed using in vivo probes.[11] The study demonstrated no apparent induction of the CYP1A2 as measured by caffeine pharmacokinetics. These results are discordant with our findings, and could be explained by differences in SJW content among products, or other components of the extract that may be responsible for enzyme induction. In some patients, there was a trend towards lower Cmax and higher caffeine metabolism suggesting that enzyme induction may have occurred in a subset of patients. A recent report by Bray et al failed to show induction of CYP1A2 in liver microsomes upon exposure to SJW (four-day IP administration) in male Swiss Webster mice.[16] However, it is unlikely that the intraperitoneal route of administration would alter intestinal CYP1A2 content, which was not assessed in the study. Moreover, although most extracts are standardized for hypericin or hyperforin content, further research is required to identify other possible extract components that may contribute to enzyme induction.
We also evaluated the relationship between CYP1A2 expression and duration of exposure to SJW. Induction of CYP1A2 upon treatment with SJW and subsequent disappearance upon removal of the extract strongly suggests a direct causal relationship. In addition, the rapid decline in CYP1A2 expression after removal of the extract suggests that this induction is transient. The time required for enzyme levels to return to baseline in vitro (4-8 hours) may be reflective of the conditions in vivo. In this case, it may be possible to minimise SJW-drug interactions by allowing sufficient time between doses.
In conclusion, exposure of LS180 cells to SJW extract resulted in reversible induction of CYP1A2. This model is well suited to study the herb-drug interactions and CYP1A2 expression.

Example 9: T worked for an investment firm. In the course of his employment, he improperly sold inside information. When this was discovered, the SEC filed a lawsuit against him. T incurred legal costs in his defence. T cannot deduct the lawyer`s fees because they were not incurred in the course of a commercial activity. The misuse of the information was not part of his employment. Even if his insider dealing did not reach the level of an activity or trade, he does not fall within the scope of section 162.14 Finally, since the lawyers` fees did not generate any income and derived from the actions brought against T personally, they are not deductible under section 212. Instead, section 262 fees are not allowed. If attorneys` fees are incurred and result in damages that are excluded from income (for example, because of the application of section 104), the fees are not deductible.
Paragraph 265 does not allow deductions for items that can be attributed to exempt income. If legal fees generate both tax-free and taxable income, the costs can be split between the two types of income. Article 67 provides that various individual evidence is deductible only to the extent that the total amount exceeds 2% of the AGI. Section 67 lists various deductions that are not treated like other individual deductions. Lawyers` fees are not included in the list; Therefore, if they are deductible from the AGI, they are subject to the 2% limit. Businesses often incur costs associated with the construction or use of capital assets. These expenses can be capitalized and recognized in the calculation of the basic costs of capital assets. Cost and cost are two terms that are used interchangeably in everyday language. In accounting, however, the two terms are distinct. A price is an expenditure of money to pay for a particular asset while an expense is money that is used to pay for something on a regular basis. The difference allows capitalized costs to be spread over a longer period of time, such as capital assets, and the impact on profits is longer. Okay, what difference does it make? A big one.
If Mylan determines that the lawyers` fees are ordinary business expenses, it can deduct those expenses as soon as they are incurred (which they did on their tax returns in a timely manner for those years). Otherwise, Mylan will have to cover its legal fees over a period of fifteen years by depreciations and depreciations (ouch!). Since Mylan has currently deducted the fee as an ordinary business expense, Mylan will also incur interest and penalties (salt in the wound) if the service ultimately prevails and these deductions are denied. If attorneys` fees arise from different claims, an allocation is necessary to determine the tax treatment.27 For example, if a person incurs attorney`s fees to maintain the fair value of a property conviction, the attorneys` fees arise from the conviction and are part of the real estate transaction (capitalizable). If the award also contains pre-conviction interest, the associated attorneys` fees are deductible. Attorneys` fees must be divided between the two arbitral awards so that the correct tax rules can be applied. Note: In this case, it would not be appropriate to allocate legal fees on the basis of the overall indemnity (i.e., 160/300) because they do not reflect the work done to obtain interest.28 Example 17: B&C`s personal home was damaged by flooding and then destroyed by the city. B and C filed an action for annulment of their sentences against the city. The agreement with his lawyer provided for a success fee of 25% plus $125 per billable hour worked. They received $140,000 for conviction and $160,000 in pre-conviction interest. Applying the claim origin test, attorneys` fees attributable to $140,000 are not deductible under section 263, while fees attributable to interest are deductible under sections 212 and 62 of the AGI. The lawyer spent 3% of his total billable hours on obtaining the allocation of interest.
The purpose of the investigation is to establish the « nature of the transaction » at the origin of the dispute. In doing so, account must be taken of the issues at issue, the nature and objectives of the dispute, the defences relied on and the purpose for which the deductions claimed were used, the context of the dispute and any facts relating to the dispute.6 The origin of claim test is the approach that individuals must use to determine the nature of their legal fees and thus decide: How they are treated for tax purposes. It is important to investigate the facts of the lawsuit and ask why the person hired a lawyer. Answering these questions should then allow practitioners to determine whether the fees are personal expenses that are non-deductible, business- or income-related, or capitalizable expenses related to a property interest. The possible consequences of not seeking legal assistance are not relevant to the classification of fees. Many judgments are useful in applying the criterion of the origin of the claim. Example 5: E incurred legal fees to try to recover damages from a carpet cleaning company that damaged carpets in her personal residence. The origin of the claim is the maintenance of E`s personal residence, so the expenses are not deductible. If the origin of a claim that caused the attorneys` fees is personal, the fees are not deductible (under section 262). However, if the origin is linked to taxable income or comes from a commercial or entrepreneurial activity, it is likely to be deductible.
The following examples illustrate situations where the origin of attorneys` fees was personal or related to the preservation of property held to generate income or used in a trade or business. In accounting, the cost of an item is allocated to the cost of an asset and is not an expense if the business plans to consume that item over an extended period of time. The cost of the item(s) is capitalized and amortized over its useful life. If a company cannot prove a link between costs and future revenues, these costs should be recognized immediately as expenses. In the area of software development, all related costs incurred before technological feasibility is achieved are recorded as expenses. Research and development costs are another example of current expenditures due to the high risk profile and uncertainty about the future benefits of these costs. While it is not clear whether the taxpayer was an employee or an independent contractor (self-employed), the courts have applied common law rules to determine whether the payer has a right to control the taxpayer. If a taxpayer is both an employee and a self-employed person, disputes have arisen over how to classify attorneys` fees to protect both statuses. In all cases, once the facts were established, the examination of the origin of the claim was applied in order to understand why the lawyers` fees were incurred.
The following examples illustrate the application of the test where the taxpayer`s employment status was not assured or more than one status was affected. Example 7: S have incurred legal fees in connection with a divorce judgment. The origin of the claim is personal, so attorneys` fees are not deductible under section 262. However, if any of the attorneys` fees incurred arise from the production or collection of taxable support (section 71), that portion of the attorneys` fees is deductible under section 212.12 The U.S. Tax Court today issued an opinion stating that the legal fees required for FDA approval of the taxpayer`s generic drug manufacturing must be capitalized, but that legal costs incurred by the taxpayer in the defence against patent infringement actions are deductible.


A traveling exhibit currently at the Dana Building commemorates the 100th anniversary of the extinction of the passenger pigeon, which once filled the skies over North America. In this video, Sara Adlerstein-Gonzalez, research scientist in the School of Natural Resources and Environment, discusses the exhibit and the once-abundant bird it honors.
In chambers that mimic Mars' conditions, Michigan Engineering researchers have shown how small amounts of liquid water could form on the planet despite its below-freezing temperatures. This video explores how researchers found that a type of salt present in Martian soil can readily melt ice it touches – just like salts do on Earth's slippery winter walkways and roads.

Insurance Company Claims Delays Hurt Policy Holders: How a Burned-out Lancaster County Bowling Alley is Being Harmed by a Slow-Pay Insurer
By Dean I Weitzman, Esq. on May 17th, 2012
The owners of a Lancaster County bowling alley paid their property insurance premiums and successfully ran their business in their community for years, even giving special discounted rates for local groups that wanted to put on special event s and fundraisers.
But since a huge fire burned The Garden Spot Bowl in Strasburg to the ground a year ago this month, their insurance company apparently hasn't been in a big rush to help the business get back on its feet.
After the fire, the owners vowed to rebuild and come back stronger than ever.
As of this week, though, their insurance company, North Pointe Insurance, still hasn't paid a full settlement to allow the business to rebuild, according to a story in the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal/New Era newspaper.
The bowling alley's sign out front was all that remained after the blaze, but instead of reading "Reopening Soon," the sign reads, "DELAY BY INSURANCE," according to the paper.
The burned out Garden Spot Bowl in Lancaster County wants to get its insurance settlement and be able to rebuild as soon as possible, but its insurance company is apparently delaying that process. Image credit: © iStockphoto.com/adventtr
That's got its owners Don and Cheryl Kercher upset, since they expected to be rebuilding by now.
The insurance company hasn't avoided paying all of the business' claims, however, according to the story. "The insurer provided four checks, each for $32,500, to cover operating losses for May, June, July and August," the paper reported. "In September, it sent $400,000 and notified the owners that it would be the last money until the claim was settled." That payment went to the bank and is being held in escrow for the mortgage.
Now the business owners and the insurance company are in a stalemate over how much money it will take to rebuild the bowling alley. Originally, the insurance company asked the owners what it would take to rebuild, but they rejected that figure, according to the paper. The insurers later rejected a lower figure and asked the business owners to give an exact accounting of all the equipment in the destroyed building at the time of the fire. That was difficult, of course, because all the records and receipts were burned up in the blaze.
That put the owners behind in their schedule to reopen because they thought the insurance company was working with them to come up with a settlement figure so they had not yet begun creating such a detailed list of property, the story reported.
North Pointe's parent company, QBE, declined to comment to the newspaper about the case, citing privacy for the business owners.
But that wasn't the end of the story. Even after the owners submitted lists of what was destroyed, the insurance company continued to ask for receipts to prove that the items had been in the building. Those were the same receipts that were burned in the fire. It was a bowling alley "Catch-22" if there ever was one.
And that's where things apparently still stand, the owners say.
"We don't know where to turn," Don Kercher told the paper. "We really don't."
The whole scenario is just not fair, and it's a tactic used all too frequently by insurance companies in all kinds of cases, from property claims to auto accidents to personal injury cases, says Saul Langsam, a partner with MyPhillyLawyer.
Once fire marshals have investigated a fire and ruled out such factors as arson, insurers should move in to pay claims swiftly so that property owners can get their lives and businesses back together as quickly as possible, Langsam said. "Once arson has been taken out of the equation then there's absolutely no reason that there should be any delay in the processing of a claim."
What can happen, though, is that the little guy is basically defenseless and insurance companies often try to hold on to their money as long as possible so that it earns interest and dividends for the companies and their shareholders, Langsam said.
"It almost borders on 'bad faith'" by insurance companies, when they don't fulfill their obligations to their policyholders, he said. "Insurance companies have to be mindful of being sued for bad faith, especially if their intention is to drag their feet to avoid paying a claim."
It's not a new practice, Langsam said. "That's just the way of the insurance industry. It's sad but true. They do what they do best, which is drag their feet. If your payment to them is late, they penalize you, but if they delay they don't worry about you."
To fight this, you need to bring in competent and experienced legal help to protect your rights.
"Your lawyer will investigate to determine whether the insurance company has properly completed its own investigation and if there are any alleged delays, can determine whether they are legitimate or of the insurance company's own doing," Langsam said. If the delays are unfounded, your lawyer can then send a demand letter by certified mail which makes a demand for the insurance proceeds. Usually that includes a payment deadline or timetable, or else the attorney will proceed with litigation in the courts. That will mean additional interest, costs, and legal fees for the defendant insurance company in pursuing a collection that you never should have been forced to file."
We hope that The Garden Spot Bowl will soon receive their insurance payouts and finally be able to get their rebuilding project on track.
If you or a loved one is ever involved with an insurance company that is slow to pay your legitimate claims, be sure to talk to a lawyer to move your case forward.


Shandong University is sitting in an interesting position.
Part of its development includes a new Biodesign Center, the result of a collaboration with Arizona State University. It is part of ASU's continued effort to deepen and expand research and related initiatives across China.
Earlier this week, representatives from SDU visited Tempe to meet with school officials on future collaboration and to see ASU's Biodesign Institute, where researchers work to develop commercially viable health care, sustainability and security solutions by studying how the natural world is designed and how it functions.
SDU is using Crow's New American University model to help it become one of China's educational leaders. It is focusing on such broad-ranging topics as building a state-of-the-art academic innovation hub, fusing research disciplines using ASU's use-inspired research approach and fostering STEM education.
As one of China's leading materials scientists, SDU President Rong Zhang was fascinated by the Biodesign Institute's next-generation sensor and biomarker array technologies.
Zhang, along with SDU's Director of International Affairs Nan Zou, met with President Crow; Dr. Sethuraman "Panch" Panchanathan, senior vice president at ASU's Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development (OKED); and other ASU officials, to discuss potential opportunities for research collaboration in areas such as materials science, DNA nanotechnology, biomarker development, bioremediation and sustainability.
Technology transfer has risen to prominence over the past three decades in China, and the Chinese government has adopted numerous policies to encourage international technology transfer, recently shifting its focus toward promoting U.S.-China advanced tech-transfer projects in new energy, new materials and sustainability.
President Zhang expressed strong interest in building a platform where transdisciplinary and collaborative research can be done across the two countries.
At the Biodesign's Center for Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Zhang met with the research team that created Breezing, the world's first portable device that can track an individual's metabolism.
Executive director Raymond DuBois outlined Biodesign's broad goals of expanding its research portfolio and global partnerships, and pointed out such recent successes such as the formation of a new ASU-Banner Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center and biomarker development as opportunities where collaboration could have a broad impact on early disease diagnostics.
One of ASU's leading nanotechnology scientists, Hao Yan, who directs Biodesign's Center for Molecular Design and Biomimetics, is an alumnus and guest professor at SDU. Yan also joined the discussion to welcome President Zhang's delegation and introduced his research projects at ASU to outline future directions and areas where faculty exchange programs and extending Biodesign's research porfolio could broaden and strengthen ASU's global partnerships with China.

The team will study information cascades – trends marked by people ignoring their own knowledge in favor of suggestions from others' actions – as they relate to terrorist networks' social-media posts, including the power of images online.
Earlier this week a United Nations panel asked social-media companies such as Twitter and Facebook to respond to how terrorist groups use their networks to spread propaganda or recruit members with increasing success.
ASU is leading a group project that has been awarded a Minerva grant to study of what types of information go viral online, and what types of actions or responses can halt the spread of viral information.
The Minerva Initiative is a Department of Defense-sponsored, university-based social-science research initiative launched by the secretary of Defense in 2008. It focuses on areas of strategic importance to U.S. national security.
This grant will allow the team, which includes people from the U.S. Military Academy and Britain's University of Exeter, to study information cascades – trends marked by people ignoring their own knowledge or information in favor of suggestions from other people's actions – as they relate to the social-media posts of terrorist networks.
"The first phase of the project is we are trying to understand what goes viral. The viral (message) is driven by two things: what type of content and what type of network. The right content and the right types of networks are going to resonate and spread and maybe gain new followers," said Hasan Davulcu, the project's principal investigator, and an associate professor in ASU's Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering and director of ASU's Cognitive Information Processing Systems Lab.
Once they understand the information cascade, Davulcu said they might be able to determine how to counter the viral messages. But, he clarifies, this study will not include developing content to thwart online terrorism. Rather, the team will be observing what organic information created by social-media users tends to halt terrorists' viral content.
"It's the early detection of what works for them and what works for others opposing them," Davulcu said.
The team believes images and videos might be some of the more persuasive ways to create partisan passion.
These images could be pictures of enemies or adversaries; a photo of Ghandi to illustrate peace; or something as common as a sports star, suggesting action. Studying the use and relationships of these images could provide a lens into the diffusion of various ideologies.
Shakarian understands the issue of terrorism from another perspective, as a former member of the U.S. Army who served two years in Iraq.
"The idea is that if we can understand which of the postings and messages of ISIS have the potential to go viral then we can learn to combat that much better than we do now," he said.
ASU's Minerva grant is situated in its Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict, which incubates new research into the complex role of religion in human affairs.
Mark Woodward, associate professor in ASU's School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies, and Baoxin Li, associate professor of ASU's School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems, are also part of the Minerva team.
This is ASU's second Minerva grant. The first was awarded in 2009 to study how to strengthen the voices of the Muslim majority who didn't condone violence.
Davulcu and Woodward were a part of that project, as well. If this second one goes well, there could be more in the future.
"The transdisciplinary environment of ASU has really enabled us to bring together faculty in innovative ways," said Linell Cady, director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Confict.


WOOT WOOT, Yes, preseason exhibition football has begun!!! If late summer has any redemption, this is it :). I love summer but late summer is generally soooooo hot. It hasn't been extremely hot this year so I can't really complain too much. ;P So here is hoping "The Boys" do well this year, I'll be watching :).


Very conveniently located with excellent transport links. Helpful staff and very well kept.
room is small but nice and clean. Bed is comfortable. Staffs are helpful and trying hard to help with directions and all.
Convenient location. Easy to book at reasonable rates.


During thousands of lectures he's given over the years on economic theory, black wealth and cooperative economics, Dr Boyce Watkins has often explained how understanding love is the key to understanding wealth. He has also explained how many of the principles of black economics can be explained and understood with principles that relate to the universal languages of love and attraction that we've all understood since we were children.
In this powerful course that is the only one of it's kind, Dr Watkins explains EXACTLY how love and relationships are the keys to understanding many of the complex principles of investing, wealth, finance, business ownership and nearly everything else you've heard mentioned on complicated financial television shows.
This course is not just great for couples, but for anyone who wants an easy way to understand advanced financial concepts and empower their families with a deep understanding of just how money works.

It couldn't have gone better. Perfect weather. Perfect location. Perfect night. Thanks so much to all of the Cassidy Parents, enrolled in Preschool and Kinder Kids, for joining us tonight. It was so nice meeting you all and getting to know more about your families. If I didn't get to meet you personally, please seek me out next time. I tend to get wrapped up in conversation and lose touch with the mingling social butterfly side of me... well, that's not true at all... there is no butterfly.
On that note, seeing how everyone got along tonight made me remember what we're doing here. There is a beautiful community around Cassidy already and the doors aren't even open. All of the RSVP's even showed up. Come on, it's LA... that's unheard of, right?
I did learn two things about this blog tonight. 1) Many more people than I would have thought are actually keeping up with it... so thanks. It's turned into a nice way to keep in touch with those interested. 2) Most people think it's Crystal's blog. Sorry folks. It's just her husband.
I should be at the building tomorrow for an update. It's late... going to sleep.

History of the Legal Resources Centre (LRC)Oral History Project:
The LRC Oral History Project was initiated in 2006, by the Southern Africa Legal Services Foundation (SALS) for the Legal Resources Trust, the body responsible for the assets and policy of the Legal Resources Centre. The project, funded by the Atlantic Philanthropies, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. Mac Arthur Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, collected a record of the early years of the LRC, which was established in 1979.
This was done through interviews with a wide range of stakeholders including legal practitioners, practising in and out of the LRC fold, other staff, associates and Clients. Interviewers include journalist Ms. Hunter-Gault and Dr. Patel, an oral historian.
Interviewees include Justice Arthur Chaskalson, Geoff Budlender, Sir Sidney Kentridge, Justice Albie Sachs and Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu among many others. A total of 200 people were interviewed.
Justice Albie Sachs' interview includes reflections on the cases taken to the Constitutional Court and Archbishop Tutu speaks about his perceptions in his role as Patron. Dr. Patel made a serious attempt to include fellows, women, and long-term administrative staff and candidate attorneys who clerked at the LRC and to interview members of associated legal organizations. She also conducted interviews of South Africans who were visiting or had moved to the United States and with Americans who had served on SALSs Board of Directors or had a long association with the LRC. Ms. Hunter-Gault videotaped interviews of Geoff Budlender and Justice Arthur Chaskalson in South Africa.
The collection consists of 201 interviews recorded as digital audio recordings and transcripts. The dates of the material range from 2006 to 2010. These dates refer to the recordings and the transcribing of the recordings. The roles of the interviewees are wide-ranging, including people who were not employed by the LRC. The roles are recorded as part of the description. Content of the interviews reflect the history of the development of the LRC and the cases and causes that were involved.

The Center for Cultural Innovation, here in California, awarded me a 2013 Visual Arts, Craft and Literary Arts Investing in Artist grant in the amount of $10,000 under the artistic innovation category, to support the creation of a self-published poetry collection inspired by my estrangement from my father, who now resides in Guyana. This project will involve, but not limited to, researching settlements of escaped slaves in Venezuela, immigration and aliens, water ecology; a book and letter exchange—a community participation component where I ask folks to write letters to their estranged fathers, which I will use to create a epistolary mash-up for a later collection, and in exchange for their letter, I will give them a copy of the poetry collection; and lastly, a visit to Guyana before the end of 2014.
I will be documenting my research, findings, and thoughts on private blog, which I will later make public, as part of the grant and for my own personal archive. The idea of this project came about when my mother asked if I wanted to write my father–I recently turned 33 and the start of my 30s was quite tumultuous and I found myself in a space where I wanted to know, more fully, who am I. Where do I come from? And not that I necessarily have complete answers to those questions, but when I've sat with them, what arises are the absences and the feeling of loss as a result. What I know is that there is some healing to be done, for me and for my father.
This is a journey that is about assembling the stories of what I know about him and his (our) family history to construct a broader and more complex picture of my own humanity.

The RUC Is Bad Medicine; It Has to Go
By Brian Klepper, PhD.
RUC Is a Deep Root of Our Healthcare Crisis.
"One of the biggest mistakes we made…is that we took the RUC…back in 1992 and gave it to the AMA…It's incredibly political, and it's just human nature…the specialists that spend more money and have more time have a bigger impact."[1]
This quote was from Tom Scully, former Administrator, under President George W. Bush, of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), previously the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). Scully was a panelist in a May 2012 Senate Finance Committee roundtable discussion by former HCFA/CMS Administrators and has become one of the RUC's most outspoken critics.
He was explaining how the American Medical Association (AMA) Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC), a group that sought to help the government by overseeing a valuation process for medical services, came to dominate and distort the pricing used in Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial health plans.
Mr. Scully shared this sentiment recently: "The idea that $100 billion in federal spending is based on fixed prices that go through an industry trade association in a process that is not open to the public is pretty wild…Having the AMA run the process of fixing prices for Medicare was crazy from the beginning."[2]
Gail Wilensky, HCFA Administrator under the first President Bush, was wistful. "It happened innocently enough."[3]
It is remarkable and compelling to hear these federal health program ex-stewards express regret about a fiasco that they had a hand in. Their mea culpas are almost palpable. Mr. Scully, in a recent Washington Post video interview, gave a quick aside: "It's partially my fault."[4]
The RUC Becomes Exposed to America
Before last month, hardly anyone in America had ever heard of the RUC, much less understood how it works. For almost 20 years, it mostly flew under the mainstream media radar. Then, in October 2010, the Wall Street Journal's Anna Mathews and Tom McGinty delivered a scathing exposé[4] that described the RUC's manipulation of healthcare pricing. Mr. Scully memorably called the RUC "indefensible."
Time passed. Then last month, Washington Monthly editor Haley Sweetland Edwards resurrected the topic with a witty explication of the RUC's "Special Deal." This was rapidly followed by a Washington Post front-page article[2] in which Peter Whoriskey and Dan Keating showed how the RUC's valuations are sufficiently skewed such that they permit Medicare to pay some physicians for more than 24 hours of work each day.
For a brief moment, the RUC was front and center in the American media. Here was a secretive, 31-physician, specialist-dominated healthcare star chamber, operating under the auspices of the AMA and directly complicit with CMS. It values medical services, often spun to panelists' interests. CMS historically has accepted nearly 90% of the RUC's recommendations, with no further due diligence.[5] A deliciously grand scandal, and one of the deep roots of America's healthcare crisis, taking advantage of us all.
The question, though, is whether anyone can do anything about it.
The Best Assumptions Money Can Buy
The RUC's work follows the design of the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS), a formulaic system of inputs weighing the contributions of physician work (54%), practice expense (41%), and malpractice expense (5%), devised by a Harvard team in the late 1980s. One assumption here is that the relative weights are approximately accurate across specialties and services. Barbara Levy, MD, a gynecologist and the RUC's Chair, insists that they are. "None of us believe the numbers are fine-tuned. We do believe we get them right with respect to each other."[2]
Of course, this assumes that you accept that primary care is less demanding and time-consuming than specialty services, and that quickly diagnosing and managing a patient presenting with an array of complicated symptoms is easier and less valuable than doing a procedure.
A couple of years ago, David Kibbe, MD, and I explored this assumption by comparing a moderately complex primary care visit[6] in which a physician must address at least 3 different problems in 25 minutes, vs an ophthalmologist's cataract extraction and intraocular lens implant. The cataract procedure, which in basic form is now more than 50 years old, is highly refined, automated, and often performed in assembly-line fashion. Using this comparison's RUC valuations, Medicare pays ophthalmologists at 12.5 times the hourly rate paid to primary care physicians. The demands on the generalists are arguably greater.
Another problem with RBRVS is that it bases payments purely on what physicians subjectively decide that they should be paid, without considering other factors, like value to the end user. Of course, even if Medicare's input-only-based valuation method made sense, there is the question of whether a self-interested panel — meaning, those who know that their payments will be tied to their recommendations — can credibly oversee an objective valuation methodology.
Bias Exists
Dr. Levy has admitted that special-interest bias is part of the process. "We assume that everyone is inflating everything when they come in. They are wanting to fight for the best possible values for their specialties."[7]
Horse trading on the valuations apparently is common. Neil Brooks, MD, a family physician and RUC panelist for 4 years, reported, "If radiology presented a new set of codes that had to do with imaging procedures, there was a feeling that some people would go along with that if radiology would go along with other things."[7]
And Roy Poses, MD, who studies financial conflict in medicine and is Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Brown University, has documented RUC panelists with financial conflicts that could influence their valuations. "It appears that many of the RUC members have significant conflicts of interest with respect to their roles as de facto setters of the rates at which physicians are paid by the government."[8]
The AMA is fierce about protecting its franchise and has argued strongly that no other interests, even those with a strong stake in care and cost (eg, patients, purchasers, health economists), should participate in the valuation process. Only doctors can understand the value of a medical service, and so they alone must create the basis for what the rest of us pay.
FACA and the Public Interest
But the RUC has a deeper structural problem. It has evaded the niceties that we normally demand of federal agencies' external advisors.
The federal government typically insists that advisory panels follow the rules set up under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The composition of the panel should reflect the real-world percentages of its constituents. Proceedings should be publicly open and transparent. Analytical methods should be scientifically credible.
In other words, the structure and function of advisory committees should be required to operate in the public interest, protecting us from special-interest lobbying's inevitable excesses. (Remember, for example, when Vice President Cheney met in closed meetings with energy-industry lobbyists to formulate energy policy?)
The RUC adheres to none of these rules. Its proceedings are closed to the public and no transcript is made available. Invitations to the meetings may come only from the Chair and are contingent on signing an onerous nondisclosure form. Valuations have been made with as few as 30 survey responses.
And the committee's composition is overwhelmingly dominated by specialty physicians, though the AMA selectively allocates seats at the table. "Minor" specialties, like gastroenterology, may be excluded from the discussion. Even though Medicare is a program primarily dedicated to senior care, geriatrics was not invited to participate until February 2012.
Medicare's refusal to hold the RUC accountable was the basis of a legal challenge by 6 Augusta, Georgia, primary care physicians.[9] The suit argued that the RUC was a "de facto Federal Advisory Committee" and therefore subject to the FACA rules. Like the district court rulings before it, the appeals court's decision dismissed the plaintiffs' claims on procedural grounds, with almost no discussion of content or merit. The courts ruled that the RUC's relationship with CMS was beyond their jurisdiction and can only be remedied by Congress.
Potential for Meaningful Congressional Action
Given the strong influence that the health industry has had on Congress, the prospects for meaningful policy-based change that can bring healthcare back into balance are poor. In 2009, the year that the Affordable Care Act was formulated, Congress accepted $1.2 billion in campaign contributions from healthcare interests in exchange for influence over the shaping of the law.
Recently, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) introduced the Accuracy in Medicare Physician Payment Act (HR 2545), which would require the RUC to adhere to the public-interest requirements of FACA and supplement the current valuation panel with nonphysicians: patients, purchasers, and health economists. It would also provide CMS with more resources to oversee the valuation program. These steps would go a long way toward improving healthcare and cost. But passage would require buy-in from a Congress largely beholden to the healthcare industry. All in all, the chances seem remote.
What's Overvalued, What's Undervalued
Over time, the RUC's overvaluing of specialty services and undervaluing of primary care has had serious real-world impact. Excessive valuations of certain procedures — cardiac stenting, colonoscopies, back surgeries — have created lucrative incentives for specialists to overtreat. For example, 2008 international health system comparison data[10] showed that we do revascularization procedures at twice the rate of other developed nations. Other data show a clinically inexplicable 15-fold increase in complex spinal fusions between 2002 and 2007, with adjusted mean hospital charges of $81,000. Paul Fischer, MD, the lead plaintiff in the failed lawsuit against CMS, has argued that "practicing to the codes" has narrowed specialists' care palette, compromising outcomes and medical professionalism.[11]
Lower primary care reimbursements have resulted in shorter visits and a doubling of the specialty referral rate over the past decade. Rushed schedules have also inhibited primary care's ability to moderate inappropriate specialty care. And the growing pay gap between primary care and specialist physicians has driven all but the most idealistic medical students away from primary care into the more lucrative specialties. This has fueled a national primary care labor shortage that will plague the United States for decades.
But the RUC's payment distortions have damaged far more than primary care physicians' work lives. Patients receiving unnecessary services are needlessly exposed to physical risk. Purchasers — taxpayers, businesses, and individuals — shoulder relentlessly excessive and rapidly growing healthcare costs.
A 2010 RAND study showed that 79% of the past decade's growth in household income has been siphoned off by healthcare, leaving few resources for other important societal needs, like infrastructure replacement and education. Healthcare has become the most significant threat to our national economic security, and the RUC, while not the only healthcare problem, remains a key driver of unnecessary health cost.
Can We Fix the RUC?
Two questions come to mind:
By what logic should overt financial conflict be a default methodology for any American program?
In a policy environment that has been captured by special interests like the healthcare lobby, is it even possible to fix a national problem like the RUC?
Toward the end of the Senate Finance Committee roundtable discussion, Bruce Vladeck, President Clinton's HCFA Administrator, summed up our dilemma. "I'm hopeful that some combination of the need to address overall deficit reduction strategies more generally and a different kind of political climate in the relatively near future will create the opportunity for people to say, 'We made a mistake. We created a formula that produces irrational and counter-intuitive results, and we're just going to abolish it and start all over again. It's the only way we're going to get out of this morass.'"[1]

How One Small Group Sets Doctors' Pay – By Pauline W. Chen, M.D.
Despite decades of warnings of a primary care crisis and the fact that some 60 million patients are without primary care doctors, the medical profession has continued to produce legions of specialists.
When asked, most of my colleagues will point to the system that determines how medical charges are reimbursed by insurance, and how doctors in different areas of medicine are paid.
Put simply, our payment system pays more for procedures performed by specialists. Specialists, therefore, have greater earning power, so more doctors choose to train to be specialists. Careers in specialties like radiology, dermatology and neurosurgery offer lifetime earnings several million dollars higher than those in primary care. It is no surprise that medical students emerging from the educational mole hole saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt choose more lucrative fields.
But simply blaming the reimbursement system and accepting the perverse payments as immutable is inadequate. It's like believing that the current situation can only be repaired by the magical intervention of some Wizard of Oz.
Well, maybe it's about time then that all of us, doctors and patients, take a hard look at the man –- actually, the 29 men and women — behind the reimbursement curtain. I'm talking about the Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee, commonly called the RUC.
RUC (rhymes with "truck") advises the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or C.M.S., the government agency that is responsible for administering the most important health care payer in the United States. Medicare reimburses doctors according to a set schedule of fees for more than 10,000 physician services, ranging from removing a gallbladder to performing a colonoscopy to evaluating a new patient in the office. This fee schedule is crucial. It determines how taxpayers' Medicare dollars are spent, and it sets the relative worth of one physician service versus another. Moreover, because many private insurers and Medicaid programs model their own payments on Medicare's, its fee schedule ends up largely determining physician incomes.
The fees are roughly based on a formula developed in the mid-1980s to quantify the value of doctors' work. When C.M.S. adopted the formula, it added a few adjustments and agreed to rely on a consensus process for updating the schedule of fees. Specifically, C.M.S. said it would turn to an expert committee organized by the American Medical Association for advice.
That expert committee is the RUC.
Critics have charged that the process has been riddled with conflicts of interest and stacked against primary care. It's not hard to see their point. First, C.M.S. historically has approved 90 percent or more of the recommendations from the RUC. Second, while the RUC makes its recommendations based on an anonymous two-thirds majority vote, about 80 percent of those voting to begin with — accounting for 23 of the 29 seats — are physicians representing professional societies. Third, almost all of those physicians are specialists (currently only five RUC members are doctors from primary care fields).
Tom Scully, a former C.M.S. administrator, once described RUC meetings in this way: "Essentially, we sit down with [RUC] every year and say, 'Here's $43 billion and growing, how do you want to [divide it]? What's the relative value of weights between anesthesiologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons?' And set the relative values at what the physician community thinks the relative payment should be."
It's obvious why doctors might care about the RUC's decisions. But why should patients?
One answer is that the dollars at the heart of these discussions — what is now the over $60 billion allotted for Medicare physician payment — come from the pockets of taxpaying patients. But it is a group of individuals representing those who stand to benefit the most, not the taxpayers themselves, that holds extraordinary sway in determining how those dollars are spent.
Another answer is that by allowing the continued devaluation of primary care services relative to work performed by specialists, the RUC perpetuates a health care system that not only fails to respond to patient demand but also, bizarrely, actually offers disincentives to attend to patient needs. "Surely there is something absurd," writes the Princeton University economist Uwe Reinhardt, "when a nation pays a primary care physician poorly relative to other specialists and then wrings its hands over a shortage of primary care physicians."
For the last few months, the American Academy of Family Physicians has been waging a battle to increase the number of primary care physician seats on the RUC. The academy has also suggested that to increase transparency and accountability, RUC members should no longer be allowed to cast anonymous votes. And it has proposed that the RUC diversify its membership and for the first time add seats for private insurers, employer health plan purchasers and patients.
Let's hope someone is listening.

Q: replace files in the command line with specific string I need to search (on the whole disk) and replace (where there are matches) one file with another (both in the same path).
Example:
  Folder 1
    x*.txt (good) (e.g.: xFile.txt)
    *.txt (bad) (e.g.: File.txt)

If there is a match of both files in the same path, i need to delete: *.txt (e.g.: File.txt) and rename: x*.txt (e.g.: xFile.txt) to *.txt (e.g.: File.txt)
Result:
 Folder 1
  *.txt (e.g: File.txt... old xFile.txt)

I use this command:
find -name 'x*.txt' | sed -r 'p;s/g([^\/]*.txt)/\1/' | xargs -d '\n' -n2 mv

The problem is that the command does not verify if both files exist (xFile.txt and File.txt in the same path) before executing the order
How can I solve it? Thanks in advance

A: With GNU tools, you could do something like:
(export LC_ALL=C
  find . -name '*.txt' -print0 |
  sed -Ez 's|/x([^/]*)$|/\1|' |
  sort -z |
  uniq -zd |
  sed -z 'h;s|.*/|&x|;G' |
  xargs -r0n2 echo mv)

That assumes there are not files whose name starts with more than one x. For instance, it won't do mv ./xx.txt ./x.txt

A: First, we define a function to do the work for us:
switcheroo() {
    [[ -f x"$1" ]] && mv -f x"$1" "$1"
}
export -f switcheroo

Now, we use find and some black magic to iterate over our foundlings:
find . -name \*.txt -execdir bash -c 'switcheroo "$0"' "{}" \;

We use find to locate all files with a .txt extension (this can be refined to suit whatever criteria you like) and in turn run them through the switcheroo process -- we use [[ ... ]] to test for the existence of the replacement file, and if it is present, use mv to effect the replacement.

Q: How to install libffi-dev on Mac OS X I am trying to implement micropython on unix, which requires libffi-dev. I installed in this way brew install libffi-dev. But it seems that there is no libffi-dev can be found.
Is there any way to install libffi-dev on Mac os. Thank you.

A: Error:
Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/libffi.7.dylib

The following worked (it's not an ln -s but it did the trick):
sudo mkdir /usr/local/opt/libffi
sudo mkdir /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib
sudo cp /usr/lib/libffi.dylib /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/libffi.7.dylib

Turns out Xcode already installs a library, it's just not in the right spot.

A: On Mac OS X you just need:
$ brew install libffi

A: This worked for me when paramiko python library was giving file not found error ::
ln -s /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/libffi.dylib /usr/local/lib/libffi.7.dylib


A business card storage case with a lid has been done previously. But I have come to realized that the lid is not necessary. As such the new version has been created as an improvement.
This case has two layers of wood, walnut and maple. It was a little complicated because each layer has to be thin. Some techniques were developed to slice the wood thinly. I have learned quite a lot from this project.


Like many others, Jasmine first came over to Liverpool 8 with the common 5-year plan, to work and raise money before returning home; that is until Liverpool became a permanent home. Having faced many struggles through her life Jasmine speaks frankly about how discrimination from her own people was just as bad as the racism of the time. Never allowing such things to deter her Jasmine has always made a positive effort to mix with different people. She also reminds us of the power of compassion and understanding.

Annual Report 2014Combined management reportCorporate social responsibility
Corporate social responsibility has a long tradition at DEUTZ. As a corporate citizen with operations around the world, we are aware of our duties and obligations. We assume responsibility for our decisions and our actions, for our products and services, for our customers and lenders, for the environment and for the society in which we live. We have been involved in corporate citizenship activities for many years, not only in our home region in the area around Cologne but also throughout Germany and beyond.
Engine museum still popular with visitors
The number of visitors to our DEUTZ engine museum rose again. More and more people from in and around Cologne, and from other parts of Germany and around the world, are taking the opportunity to discover the origins and history of global motorisation and original machines from the early days of the engine. This all started more than 150 years ago with the founding of N.A. Otto & Cie., the predecessor of today's DEUTZ AG.
Protected as a cultural asset of the Federal Republic of Germany, the engine collection on display at the technology centre in Cologne-Porz was given a fantastic new exhibit last year, dating from the time of Germany's post-war economic miracle: the 'see-through engine', equivalent to the F12L614 model, a twelve-cylinder drive unit producing 184kW (250HP), was unveiled to the world for the first time in 1955 at the Frankfurt International Motor Show as an exhibition piece. This 'see-through engine' was built by our trainees in Ulm. The air-cooled engine powered the Magirus Deutz Uranus, the most powerful German truck of its day.
Getting young people and the unemployed into careers
As part of our corporate social responsibility, we have been working closely for more than 23 years with IN VIA – an association under the auspices of the German Caritas organisation – and the German Federal Employment Agency to provide career preparation courses for young people with learning and social difficulties. In 2014, a total of 36 participants underwent basic metalwork training over a ten-month period at the DEUTZ training centre, which equipped them with the skills they will need to take up a career. We also teamed up with the Spanish government to launch a programme at our plant in Zafra which will train people with no formal vocational education as machine operators. Graduates of the programme are given an official certificate that will improve their career prospects.
Integration of disabled and disadvantaged people
For more than 25 years, DEUTZ AG has worked with Nostra GmbH, one of the largest and oldest organisations for the integration of disabled and disadvantaged people in Germany. The project finds employment in the regular labour market for 40 people who have severe disabilities or are socially disadvantaged. All participants are accommodated in special integration groups, in which disabled and non-disabled people work together in a spirit of inclusivity. This integration of the skills of disabled, socially disadvantaged and non-disabled people is proving particularly successful in the project at the DEUTZ AG site, and is clearly apparent on a day-to-day basis in the interactions with the staff there. DEUTZ has also worked in partnership with GWK, a not-for-profit organisation based in Cologne promoting the integration of people with disabilities, for more than 40 years. In 2014, more than 100 people at GWK were involved in work for DEUTZ. The goods inward, packaging and component manufacturing services provided by Nostra and GWK are closely integrated with DEUTZ AG's processes. We benefit from the high level of precision demonstrated by their employees, which is backed up by comprehensive investment by both organisations in the training of staff and in their machinery and equipment.
Company choir a highlight at DEUTZ's 150th anniversary celebration
The performance given by the DEUTZ choir at the anniversary celebration on 9 May 2014 at the Koelnmesse exhibition centre was the most important and the most enduring in its almost 70-year history. Accompanied by Danish soprano Lisa Tjalve and led by artistic director Heinz Walter Florin, the choir sang themselves into the hearts of the international audience with a multilingual programme. Another highlight last year was the series of summer concerts at Cologne Philharmonic Hall.
DEUTZ has long been committed to diversity management: we value the diversity of our individual employees around the world – in terms of gender, origin, age, religion and disability – and we try to harness this for the success of the Company. For example, we have a clear target to increase the number of management positions within the DEUTZ Group that are occupied by women. We talk about our efforts to support young people, to help women advance in the workplace (cross-mentoring) and other diversity-focused activities in the »Employees« section of this annual report.
The members of the Board of Management and managers at DEUTZ are fully aware of their responsibility to set an example. For many years, they have been personally involved in various charitable associations, trade associations, committees, trusts and other forums.

Q: RxJS partition. ERROR - is missing the following properties from type there is code:
    ngOnInit(): void {
        [this.newReleaseNotes$, this.readReleaseNotes$] = partition(this.getReleaseNotes$(), ({ id }: ReleaseNoteInterface) =>
            this.releaseNotesService.readReleaseNotes.includes(id),
        );
    }

    private getReleaseNotes$(): Observable<ReleaseNoteInterface[]> {
        return forkJoin(this.releaseNotes.map((releaseNoteId: string) => this.releaseNotesService.fetchReleaseNoteById$(releaseNoteId)));
    }

this code throws an error in TypeScript:

error TS2345: Argument of type '({ id }: ReleaseNoteInterface) => boolean' is not assignable to parameter of type '(value: ReleaseNoteInterface[], index
: number) => boolean'.
[0]       Types of parameters '__0' and 'value' are incompatible.
[0]         Type 'ReleaseNoteInterface[]' is missing the following properties from type 'ReleaseNoteInterface': id, type, importance, actuality, and 8 more.

method this.releaseNotesService.fetchReleaseNoteById $ makes a request to the server and returns Observable<ReleaseNoteInterface>
How to use the partition operator correctly to solve my problem?

A: forkJoin emits an array of it's inner observables, so partition is expecting type ReleaseNoteInterface[], not type ReleaseNoteInterface.
so your partition would have to operate on that array:
    partition(this.getReleaseNotes$(), (releaseNotes: ReleaseNoteInterface[]) =>
        // unclear what to do with the array here?
        releaseNotes.some(({id}) => this.releaseNotesService.readReleaseNotes.includes(id))
    );

this would create two observable streams, one where any of the ids in the array meet the condition and one where none of the ids in the array meet the condition. It's doubtful that this is what you want.
partition is used to split an observable stream into 2 streams. While forkJoin is a higher order observable, used to combine multiple observables into one, and forkJoin by definition only ever emits once, and it will emit one array of all it's inner observables once all inners have completed. So using partition on a forkJoin is illogical, as partition exists to split a stream of multiple emissions and forkJoin is only a single emission observable.
what you probably want to do is this:
ngOnInit(): void {
   const sharedNotes$ = this.getReleaseNotes$(); // get the sahred

   this.newReleaseNotes$ = sharedNotes$.pipe( // map and filter the array
     map(releaseNotes => releaseNotes.filter(({id}) => this.releaseNotesService.readReleaseNotes.includes(id)))
   )

   this.readReleaseNotes$ = sharedNotes$.pipe( // map and filter the array
     map(releaseNotes => releaseNotes.filter(({id}) => !this.releaseNotesService.readReleaseNotes.includes(id)))
   )

}

private getReleaseNotes$(): Observable<ReleaseNoteInterface[]> {
    return forkJoin(this.releaseNotes.map((releaseNoteId: string) => this.releaseNotesService.fetchReleaseNoteById$(releaseNoteId))).pipe(
      share() // share it to avoid multiple calls
    );
}

this gives you two observables, both arrays of release notes, one with items meeting the condition, and the other with items not meeting the condition.
There are other logical ways to set this up, like only having one observable that meets the interface { newReleaseNotes: ReleaseNoteInterface[], readReleaseNotes: ReleaseNoteInterface[] } and using a map operator to transform into that.

A: @bryan60, thanks for the explanation! Did a little differently:
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.newReleaseNotes$ = this.getReleaseNotes$(this.releaseNotes.filter((id: string) => !this.releaseNotesService.readReleaseNotes.includes(id)));
        this.readReleaseNotes$ = this.getReleaseNotes$(this.releaseNotes.filter((id: string) => this.releaseNotesService.readReleaseNotes.includes(id)));
    }

    private getReleaseNotes$(releaseNotesIds: string[]): Observable<ReleaseNoteInterface[]> {
        return forkJoin(releaseNotesIds.map((releaseNoteId: string) => this.releaseNotesService.fetchReleaseNoteById$(releaseNoteId)));
    }

Initially, I just wanted to beautifully solve this problem using the partion function.
Maybe there is an option to replace forkJoin with something else that partion can work with?

The Blues Hall of Fame has announced the 2014 inductees to the Blues Hall of Fame. Five people are to be inducted into the "Artist" category, five songs in the "Classic of Blues Recording: Single or Album Track", and two albums in the "Classic of Blues Recording: Album" category. Exclusively at the American Blues Scene, listen to ALL of the music being inducted in this article!
The induction ceremony will be held Wednesday, May 7, at the Sheraton Memphis Downtown in Memphis, Tennessee, the night before the 35th Blues Music Awards. With living musicians like B.B. King and Buddy Guy, and legends like Muddy Waters and Koko Taylor, the Blues Hall of Fame consists of blues music's best and brightest stars.
The Blues Foundation is now in the final stages of raising the capital needed to showcase these legendary performers and their work with Blues Hall of Fame exhibits at its 421 S. Main headquarters in downtown Memphis. The Blues Hall of Fame will honor inductees year round, provide interactive and educational exhibits, and create a place for serious blues fans, casual visitors, and students to congregate, celebrate and learn more about the Blues. The Raise the Roof! campaign hopes to raise the remaining funds necessary to commence construction in June of this year.
