It seems certain this year is going to be nothing short of awesome for TV shows. Needless to say, people are hyped for new seasons of series such as Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, as well as promising new shows like Watchmen, and there's way more coming to look forward to. Here are 10 of the most anticipated TV shows of the 2019.
The outstanding cast of Big Little Lies, including Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, and more, made it a no-brainer for success. For its first season, the series won four Golden Globes, as well as a whopping eight Emmys. To make the anticipation even greater for Season 2, they went and added the Meryl Streep to the cast. The second season is expected to premiere sometime in 2019 on HBO.
Fans of Sandra Oh were ecstatic over her leading a new TV show, and Killing Eve did not disappoint in its first season. Oh recently won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama for her role, and it's obvious that people want more. The second season will premiere on BBC America on April 7.
One's immediate thought when learning the classic series The Twilight Zone is being remade might be to roll your eyes, but considering Academy Award winner Jordan Peele is involved, it could be actually quite interesting. The show will premiere on CBS All Access sometime in 2019.
Fans were excited to hear the novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman would be getting a TV adaptation, which is even better considering Gaiman is penning the script and will serve as a showrunner. The series, simply called Good Omens, will debut on Hulu sometime in 2019.
Bill Hader, Harry Winkler, and Stephen Root in one show is pretty much automatically good comedy, and Barry found a solid fanbase with its first season. Both Hader and Winkler went on to win Emmys for their roles as lead and supporting actor, respectively. The second season is due out to premiere on HBO sometime in 2019.
Comic book fans are in for a treat this year, as DC's Watchmen series created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is set to be adapted for TV with Damon Lindelof (Lost) as writer and executive producer. Fans have high hopes it will be more successful than the 2009 Zack Snyder film. Expect it to premiere on HBO sometime in 2019.
Critically acclaimed series Veep is coming back for its seventh and final season this year. The Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led comedy, which is a multiple Emmy Award winner, returns on HBO sometime in 2019.
With Disney+ debuting this year, Star Wars fans are extremely excited for the live-action series The Mandalorian, created by Jon Favreau. Apart from a promising cast including Pedro Pascal, Werner Herzog, and more, episodes are set to be directed by Taika Waititi, Bryce Dallas Howard, and other notable stars. The series will debut on the Disney+ streaming service sometime in 2019.
Fan-favorite series Stranger Things was an instant hit for Netflix when it premiered in 2016. Since, the show has garnered a huge fanbase, and has earned Golden Globe nominations as well as a few Emmy wins. The highly-anticipated third season will debut on Netflix on July 4.
It goes without saying TV watchers are most excited for Game of Thrones in 2019. The hit show, which has won multiple Emmys and one Golden Globe since its debut in 2011, is returning for its eighth and final season with six movie-like episodes. Saying the hype is real would be an understatement. The show returns on HBO on April 14.


Practically an old married couple by now – Elisa and Dave were married back in September 2010 at the Pacific Palms Resort. But here are some professional photos from their wedding taken by fantastic husband and wife duo, Adi and Cat, of Next Exit Photography. The flowers look pretty darn lovely in these pictures!

Andy Newberry
MSU Texas Nursing graduate has passion to help and mentor others
Blanca Gutierrez has a mission before her. She wants to help people. Seeing her godmother deal with cancer as a youngster motivated her to be there for others.
Nothing she experienced in 2020, pandemic or not, was going to take that away. Where there's a will, there's a way, and Blanca certainly had more than enough will. And the MSU Texas bachelor's degree in nursing provided the way.
"This pandemic has been an eye-opener for all health-care workers, it has been a year of continued education for us all," Blanca said. "As a health-care professional, I am constantly researching and learning new information so that I can better my nursing practice and provide health promotion."
Blanca graduated with her RN from Vernon College in May. In June, she took a position as an RN case manager with Healing Hands Healthcare in Wichita Falls. She applied to two Family Nurse Practitioner programs and hopes to start in Summer 2021. In the meantime, she plans to stay affiliated with MSU Texas.
Blanca is excited about her role as a mentor to first-year Latino university students through the Somos Familia Mentoring Program.
"I want to help other young minority students achieve their academic goals," she said. "The MSU BSN program is truly great! I am a part of social media groups for nursing students, and anyone looking for BSN programs, I send them info about MSU. The curriculum is thorough and well structured. The work is heavy, but if the person is motivated and practices time management more efficiently, the program can be stress-free. The cost of the program is also great!"
Blanca was born and raised in Graham, Texas, and attended Graham High School, graduating in 2010. She worked as an LVN for nine years before becoming an RN through Vernon College. "I am fortunate and proud to be able to serve the Graham area and rest of Young County as a home health nurse," she said.
Her hobbies include spending time with her family and she loves to run, even if the busyness of 2020 put that on the back burner. Some sacrifices are worth making, after all. She remembers when she decided her career path.
"My interest in nursing began when my godmother (Blanca Estella) was diagnosed with cancer, I was young, and the cancer was quick to debilitate her completely," Blanca said. "I was there for it all; I remember spending a whole summer with her and thinking she was going to recover, but that was not the case. In her last days, I helped with her meals and I would eat so that she would eat, even though she didn't want to. I saw how painful and intolerable chemo treatments were. I realized I wanted to help people who were in their weakest moments, and I strive to make a difference in someone's life when everything else seems to be going wrong. I want patients to feel comfortable in my care. And that is my passion for nursing."
And she is appreciative of the role MSU Texas played in her career development.
"The staff is just as amazing, all of my courses have been easy to follow with detailed explanations and expectations," Blanca said. "The staff are quick to provide answers to any questions. They are tough graders, but absolutely fair, and they will leave you feedback so that you make can make changes in your class work."

This is Tomorrow (Paul Kelly, 2007)
Finisterre (Paul Kelly and Kieran Evans, 2002)
What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? (Paul Kelly, 2005)
Kelly + Victor (Kieran Evans, 2012)
So, Paul Kelly has made at least three documentaries with Saint Etienne, a musical beat combo whose work I confess I'm not familiar with, although I've listened to some since. And I suspect that means I'm missing something with Finisterre.
Of course, This is Tomorrow is mistitled, because it surely refers to the iconic exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1956, featuring artists such as Eduardo Paolozzi, William Turnbull, Richard Hamilton, and many more. Instead, it takes us back to the Festival of Britain in 1951, of which the Royal Festival Hall is one survivor. Designed by Leslie Martin, Peter Moro and Robert Matthew, compromises in building meant the acoustics were not as rich as they might have been. There was an attempt to improve this in 1964, followed by a major restoration and improvement between 2005 and 2007. The documentary shows the festival and then moves into an account of the work. I confess I was interested more in the former than the latter and it's such a shame the Skylon was destroyed.
Having realised this was a loose trilogy, I then watched Finisterre, which includes extracts from The Shipping Forecast and music from the album by Saint Etienne. It's a version of the City Symphony genre although, despite some really interesting shots and juxtapositions, doesn't compare with Manhatta (Paul Strand, 1921) or Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis (Walter Ruttmann, 1927). It's a day in the life of the city, from 6.00am to 6.00am at Victoria Station, apparently also biographical of the band. I missed all this, but did like the snark about Camden.
Like This is Tomorrow, Mervyn was commissioned to be performed and screened in the Barbican, and is a depiction of the Lower Lea Valley, at around the time of the announcement of the 2012 Olympics. This coincided with the 7/7 bombing, which is brought in via snippets of news broadcasts. The trajectory depends on the wanderings of a paper boy, Mervyn Day (Noah Kelly, presumably the director's son) on his rather extended paper route. David Essex and Linda Robson contribute as his grandfather and mother. Presumably his name is taken from a Leyton Orient footballer. It's diverting enough, I learned a fair bit, and maybe needed to be watched alongside reading Iain Sinclair's Sorry Meniscus (1999), about trying to walk to the Millennium Dome.
Kelly and Saint Etienne have since collaborated on How We Used to Live (2014), which I haven't seen.
Evans, co-director of Finisterre, has also made a fiction film, Kelly + Victor, (apparently) loosely based on a novel of the same name by Niall Griffiths. Kelly (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) and Victor (Julian Morris) meet at a club and go back to her place where they have violent sex in which she bites and chokes him. Kelly is a shopworker, who occasionally helps out her dominatrix friend, whilst Victor is a romantic who works on Liverpool dock and whose idea of a date is wandering around the Walker Gallery or Sefton Park.
I'm in.
Of course, this can't end well, so it needs a bit of caution.

Trevor Paglen: From 'Apple' to 'Anomaly' (The Curve, Barbican, 26 Sep 2019—Sun 16 Feb 2020)
So, the Barbican – aka the alcohol-free concert hall – was heaving and so the slightly complicated but with good sight lines for a rendezvous foyer turned out not to be a smart move. Especially when Dennis was playing havoc with the trains. But that didn't dissuade the thousands of people who had descended for a wellness fête (and who were queueing in their hundreds for the ladies loos hidden in the bowels of the building).

Seeing three exhibitions in one day was a mistake, but two were about to end and the third was next door to the first so I booked slots for Their Mortal Remains and Into the Unknown and shouted at the Science Museum website for not having the complete list of tickets. I allowed about two hours for the first — not enough as it happens — and booked at five for the the Barbican, which would give me an hour to do Robots and an hour to get across London.
I reckoned without the Victoria and Albert Museum's crappy signage — it would be helpful to know the toilet is on a staircase and not easier accessed — and the Science Museum's layout — the main lifts are out of action and you have to navigate around the block from lift B to the exhibition (not that lift B is obviously signed from what I assume are Lifts A and none of them have labels).

Georgia Tech's ISyE team took home the winner's trophy at the American Statistical Society's Stat Bowl, held at the August Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in Toronto.
The team consisted of Ph.D. students Abhyuday Mandal, Zhiguang Qian, and Andrew Smith. Smith was also honored as Individual Runner-up. Ten universities competed in Stat Bowl.
Mandal was the first to commit himself to the competition, at the invitation of Mark Payton, Stat Bowl's organizer from Oklahoma State University. He talked his roommate, Qian, into joining him. It wasn't a hard sell. "He told me if I participated I'd get a $500 reimbursement (for conference fees)," says Qian. All competitors received the reimbursement.
Smith was a last minute addition to the team when an extra slot opened up. "It was flattering for me," he says. "I came in there at the last minute. It was completely unexpected for me to play, let alone win something." Perhaps it was his attire; he competed in shorts and a t-shirt, while his competitors wore professional garb.
None of the Tech students cracked their books for the competition, which has two rounds. The first, or screening round, was a written quiz. "Basically a statistics quiz," says Mandal. "They asked different questions about history, current research, or people who have had an influence in the field." Those who made the cut got to come back for the Jeopardy-style buzzer round.
"It was a fun thing," continues Mandal. "Some of our faculty attended the final to give us support. The room was full, an audience of 60 or so." Team scores were determined by combining individual scores. The questions were by no means consistent in difficultly, ranging from the complicated to lightweights such as, "Where is next year's conference?" Qian got the right state, but struggled to name the city. He finally responded with the only city in Minnesota that he knew: Minneapolis. He was correct.
Mandal commented that winning "is an honor to the school and to us. We are very happy to get the trophy." Smith received a plaque for his individual efforts.
Stat Bowl, formerly known as College Bowl, was established in 1992 at the ASA Winter Conference in Louisville. Starting in 1994, it was conducted every year until 1999. After a gap of three years, it was successfully reincarnated at the 2003 JSM in San Francisco, with several enhancements.


Do I need an appointment for a pointe shoe fitting?
No, you do not need an appointment for a pointe shoe fitting at Dancewear Centre. There will always be multiple professionally trained pointe shoe fitters on hand to conduct pointe fittings. Our store is equipped to comfortably it up to three pointe customers at a time. Depending on the how many fittings are ongoing when you arrive at our store, there might be a wait time before a fitter becomes available. We do ask that all pointe shoe customers arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to ensure enough time for a proper fitting, especially if it is your first fitting. Fitting times will vary in length but anticipate spending 30 - 60 minutes to ensure you find the right pair of pointe shoes.
What is the right age to begin pointe work?
It is important that dancers first develop the necessary strength to support themselves in pointe shoes. Without the necessary strength and technique, pointe shoes become quite dangerous. Most dancers who have been training since a young age do not start pointe work until the age of 10 – 12. Dancers who have started their training later may take longer to develop the proper technique and strength, and should be patient. Your teacher will always be the best source to determine if a dancer is ready for pointe work. Dancers also must have the technical ability to maintain proper alignment while working in pointe shoes. Attempting pointe work without proper strength and technique or before bones have fully formed can lead to many serious injuries and the development of bad habits. Demi pointe shoes and stretch bands are a great tool for young dancers to strengthen and develop the necessary muscles to progress into pointe work.
Are My Pointe Shoes Fitting Correctly?
It is important to make sure pointe shoes are always fitting correctly to ensure that you are supported and safe while dancing. Follow these simple steps to check the fit on your new shoes.
Find a place near a mirror where you can see your feet. Stand only on a clean surface to protect the satin of the shoes. Gently loosen the drawstring of the pointe shoes so it moves freely inside its casing. Put on your pointe shoes and adjust the drawstrings and tie them in a shoelace knot. Make sure to try your pointe shoes on with all of the padding products and dance tights that will be used while dancing in them. It will be best to try them on with the support of a barre, and easy access to a mirror to help see your feet.
Standing in second position, take a deep plié. In plié make sure you can feel all your toes sitting flat in the shoes. Bending down, insert your finger into the top of the shoe over your toes. You should only be able to get the tip of your finger inside the shoe. If your finger goes in easily, the width and profile is too wide. If you can't fit your finger in at all, and see your foot "puffing" up over the top of the shoe, the shoe is too narrow. It is important to have the correct width in order for the foot to sit properly in the shoe en pointe. It is also good to remember pointe shoes get wider as they break in. So it is important to have them as fitted as possible without being too tight.
Drag your finger inside the top of shoe along to your pinky toe. Here you will be able to feel where the stiff wing of the shoe ends on your foot. For a proper wing fit, your pinky toe metatarsal should be entirely encased in the wing. If the wing is ending before or cutting into the pinky metatarsal joint, the wing is too short to support the foot properly.
From your pinky toe joint, continue dragging your finger, inside the shoe, along the outside of the foot towards your heel. In a proper length you should only be able to get your finger in the small space between your ankle joint and heel. If you are able to drag your finger all the way around your heel, the shoe is too long. Standing in second you should also feel your toes all the way to the end of the shoe and touching. Your toes should steel feel straight.
Standing parallel with your feet together, press one foot up en pointe, making sure to press correctly through the ankle. Next roll the heel of the shoe down and off your foot, so your heel is exposed. Bend down and check that the shank (the end of the sole) is ending in line with or lower than your heel. If the shank extends pass your heel, the shoes are too long.
Now stepping up onto both feet, feel if the shank stays in line with the center of your foot, or if it twists off to one side. The right fit will stay centered and aligned with your foot. If the shank is twisting, this indicates you may need a wider fit or longer wings.
Standing parallel with your feet together, press up through both feet to en pointe. Carefully repeat this step in parallel and in first position being mindful of feeling for any movement in the shoes. You should feel lifted and supported on all sides on the shoe. There should be no sliding or "sinking" down into the shoe as you roll up onto pointe.
It is always a good idea to show your pointe shoes to your dance teacher for approval on fit before sewing ribbons and elastics.
Remember that pointe shoes are meant to be extremely fitted, and will become larger as they break in. Never sacrifice safety for comfort by wearing a shoe that is too large.
What should my new pointe shoes feel like?
Imagine Cinderella's glass slipper, a perfect fit. Pointe shoes should feel snug and fitted all around your foot. The dancer should feel their toes touching the edge of the shoe, but still be able to wiggle their toes slightly inside the box. Standing in second position in demi-plie the big toe should feel all the way to the end, but not bent or curled in anyway. Remember pointe shoes will not feel roomy and comfortable like everyday street shoes. When en pointe, the dancer should feel lifted and supported. There should be no sliding or sinking down into the bottom of the shoe while en pointe. If the dancer is sliding or sinking down into their shoes, a check in the width and shape of the box may be needed.
Can I buy my pointe shoes with room to grow?
It is very dangerous for dancers to wear pointe shoes that are too big or have room for growth. In order for a dancer to work successfully in pointe shoes, they must be very fitted to the dancer's foot to support the foot properly. Any extra space allows the dancer's foot to shift and move inside the shoes. This movement can cause many injuries such as blisters, calluses, strained tendons and ligaments, bruised toenails and even broken bones. Also, a dancer in shoes that are too large will develop bad habits to compensate for insufficient support. Habits like these can take months or even years to correct, as the dancer has to retrain the muscle to the correct alignment.
Is there a left or right foot?
There is no designated left or right foot for new pointe shoes. Similar to soft ballet shoes, pointe shoes will gradually mold and shape to your feet, creating a left and right foot. It is important to label your shoes once worn to keep them on the correct foot.
How do I break in my new pointe shoes?
The absolute best way to break in your pointe shoes is by wearing them. You want your pointe shoes to break in to the exact shape of your foot, and not where it was bent with hands. Bending and breaking the shoes in the wrong spot will damage the shoe and not allow it to work properly. Improper ways of breaking in pointe shoes include, taking a hammer to them, slamming them in a door, and improperly bending them with your hands. If you are having a hard time breaking in the box, you can use a small amount of water or rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and dab it across the top of the box where the metatarsals bend. Depending on the dancer's strength it can take a few classes for the shoes to fully break in. Talk with your teacher for other tips for breaking in new shoes.
How can I make my pointe shoes last longer?
Pointe shoes aren't meant to last forever, and the life of a shoe greatly depends on the dancer using them. To get the most life out of a pair of pointe shoes it is very important to make sure to leave them somewhere they can dry thoroughly after each wear. Never place freshly worn shoes in any type of bag (mesh or not), and never leave any padding inside the shoe. This keeps the moisture in the shoes and allows the natural materials to break down faster. A great way to extend the life of your shoes is to have two pairs of shoes to alternate between for classes and rehearsals. This will allow the other pair to dry completely, therefore not forcing the materials to break down quite as fast. You can also purchase items like Jet Glue that help prolong the life of pointe shoes. But remember Jet Glue is not an everlasting fix for dead shoes, and new shoes should be purchased when necessary to prevent injury from insufficient support.
How do I protect my feet in my pointe shoes?
Having the proper padding and protection is very important when wearing your pointe shoes. Padding can significantly change the size needed in your shoes, therefore you should always be chosen before a fitting. Ideally you want to have as minimal padding as you are comfortable with. Too much padding fills up the box and does not allow you to feel the floor properly in your shoes. Another thing to keep in mind is excessive padding will become compressed as you dance, meaning the longer you dance, the more compressed the padding will become, creating extra space and movement in the shoe. It is not uncommon for excessive padding to cause more problems (such as blisters) then they fix. Toe pads come in a variety of styles including thin fabric covered gels, thick silicone, foam, and lamb's wool. We recommend dancers use the fabric covered gel pads or ouch pouches. These pads provide ample protection, but are not overly thick. There are also a number of accessories to help alleviate frequent sensitive or problem areas. If you are having problems with your padding or have questions we suggest you bring your shoes to the store or call in and talk with one our fitters to find the best solution for your feet.
How do I know when its time for a new pair?
Unfortunately pointe shoes don't last forever, and how long they last greatly depends on the dancer wearing them, but inevitably it will become time for a new pair. It is time for a new pair of shoes when you no longer feel supported in your shoes. You may feel your platform become soft and mushy and you may start "feeling the floor" under your toes a little bit more than you should. If you start falling too far over your shoe en pointe, and/or start feeling extra strain and tenderness in the muscles and ligaments on the top of your foot. Or finally if your shoe is as flat as a pancake on the floor, it may be time to purchase a new pair. Although wearing dead shoes may feel easier, and look appealing in the mirror, it is very unsafe and can cause serious injuries.
Should I always buy the same shoes?
No. As you grow, progress, and mature, so will your pointe shoe needs! A beginner student may need a more pliable shoe in order to start training and understand proper alignment, but as she becomes stronger she may require a different shoe entirely. Also as dancers tend to start pointe work in their preteen years, their feet are still growing and changing shape, and it's important to keep your pointe shoe shape as close to your foot shape as possible. Finally, it's never bad to try something new! Companies are constantly creating new styles and upgrading old ones. Our fitters are always happy to show you new styles in-store or answer any questions you may have about styles over the phone.

This project was created on 07/12/2014 and last updated 5 years ago.
The aim of this project is to build a complete localized weather station for both experimental and educational purposes. The station will include modern sensors in order to increase the parameter list usually recorded in home weather stations. While most commercial home units are capable of temperature and humidity, and a few more advanced systems may add wind speed and direction, this system will include all of them.
Wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity (indoors and outdoors), sunlight, and CO. Additional parameters later will include rain, dust and ozone.
The project is a mix of custom built mechanical sensors and commercial sensors. The scratch built sensors include wind speed and direction. A future module will include a scratch built rain gauge.
In addition to build plans, I will attempt to write basic outlines for in class exploration and guided content learning. The educational goal is to connect industrial arts, engineering and science. In this regard, guided explorations will encourage students to brainstorm and attempt to build various weather related devices while studying content material related to the parameter being explored.
As an example, let's say we are studying wind speed. We might ask students to first brainstorm ways in which they might measure it. Many of the more clever students will immediately imagine something similar to an anemometer.
We next ask them to research different ways to measure wind, such as pressure and force. At this stage, we should brainstorm objects in every day life that reflect the effects of wind, and how we might indirectly measure it.
The first scientist to begin meaningful measurements of wind force was inspired by the hanging signboards outside of ins, bars and shops. By first weighing the signboard and then applying an angle gauge to it, he was able to determine the amount of force the wind exerts on the board when it swings to any angle on the gauge.
We next attempt to replicate such an experiment while applying micro-controllers (Arduino) to the task of measuring the angle. This could be with a potentiometer, encoder, or optical sensor.
PVC-U is UV stabilized, and can be exposed to sunlight for decades without any painted overcoat before starting to break down. So, the body of the hardware at least should last for years.
All other mechanical/metal parts are easily sourced, either from local suppliers, hobby shops, or ordered online. Parts are stainless, galvanized, aluminum, or painted (in the case of non UV stabilized plastic, such as cups of the anemometer). PCBs should be coated with conformal coating, and all areas with electronics will have desiccant silica packets.
Acrylic laser cut parts are small enough / cheap enough to be sent in a mailing envelope as a kit. Once the concept is understood, parts could be made in other ways (my original attempts at making them by hand with wood was successful. I only opted for acrylic later due to expansion effects of wood in humid environments).
As an educational device, sensors (especially those with mechanical aspects, such as the anemometer) have a lot of opportunities to work with math. Building the device with local, recycled, and off the shelf hardware store parts provides a lot of creative engineering experience. The 'total coverage' aspect, along with our own unique data set allows students at a school to get hands on with Earth science and climatology.
Large piping, easy to handle parts, and very little custom parts (other than PCBs, but those too can be built on perf board) means that the device is highly repairable, modular, mobile, and low cost.
All while fitting in a space less than 48mm across (PVC pipe sizing is rather confusing, but that is another post).
Above: Installed in the pipe, reed switches facing out.
Above: The switches are mounted on the opposite side. Notice that the I2C expander IC is actually straddling the cutout of one of the switches. This side also contains the SMD resistors for each switch, and the cable. This face is against the bottom of the bearing seat plates, and can be glued in. I had to drill a hole for the cable in the bearing mount plates, which does not appear on the acrylic cut sheets.
When doing cuts like this, it is important to do so in the milling layer of the part. In addition, you need to include keepouts for top and bottom. There are other layers to deal with as well. The point is to assure that no traces and fills will span the cutout.
I have another project in the works that uses a similar method with wide pads to create metalized mounting slots. If they work out well (such as being plated through even with such an odd shape), I might try to use them as a bus connection through metal standoffs.
The board uses the PCA9534 IO Expander IC to hang 8 inputs/outputs of an I2C bus. I wrote up a simple Arduino example of how to configure and use the expander to read switch inputs and decode them to indicate wind direction.
Both bearings (yellow) are held in place by a two part acrylic disk bearing seat (red). The centering disk is 5mm thick, to match that of the bearing. It's center hole is cut to the outside diameter of the bearing. The base disk is 2mm thick. It's center hole is cut larger than the shaft, but smaller than the outside diameter of the bearing.
, preventing wind from blowing dust or rain into the space above the top of the spindle body, thus keeping the whole assembly clean and dry. It is to the 50mm cap that arms are attached for wind cups, or a vane and weighted point for a wind vane.
The next file on the way will be the laser cut acrylic files.
The largest hurdle, the mechanical aspects of the spindles for anemometer and wind vane are complete.
Reed switch board is complete and tested.
Interface board to carry the Arduino, RS232 interface, regulators and sensor support circuitry needs to be designed.
PVC needs 'final install' gluing, or perhaps link pinning, such that I can still disassemble it.
I have not even touched the head end yet. For my first version I will just use processing to snag data, parse it and log it.
Can I actually accomplish the items on the above list?
I have designed plenty of Arduino shields in the past, and already have most of these circuits either in Eagle, on paper, or in my head. Its just a matter of sitting down and doing it.
Integrating sensors into the mast is a mechanical challenge. The only disadvantage to using size 40 pipe is that the exposure area for sensors is small and circular, making for a high density space. I will likely put all the sensors on a disk board which hangs out the bottom of one the T which also holds the Arduino and support boards. This one will take time, but nothing here is out of my league (confident with the tools required). Just takes time.
Final 'locked in' assembly is just either gluing the PVC or drilling holes for pinning/bolting. Again, no problems there.
Integrating the sensor code is just time consuming but not hard. Most of my sensors I already have libraries for. Also, I have proven out this sort of system with the seismometer project in my book "Arduino Projects to Save the World."
My big challenge is in the head end. I don't work with Linux much, nor Raspberry Pi (have one but have yet to use it). However, in the above mentioned book, I have demonstrated how to read data, parse and log it using processing. I can at least get that far without any trouble. I will have to teach myself about web servers though. This is unlikely to be finished by the time the first round of eliminations.
I like your anemometer. Very well done!
Acrylic (Plexiglas) - have at it!!
Good question. quite often sites like Wunderground have the ethos that if it is not commercial hardware it is not reliable, unwanted on the network, or simply unsupported.
You are about to report the project "Modular Weather Station", please tell us the reason.

Your View: COVID-19 disaster looms in Lehigh County Jail
At night she suffered through searing pain, but by morning it mysteriously vanished
How will local youth soccer leagues adapt to rule banning heading?
By Sam Kennedy
Little Johny's game Saturday was one of his last games of 2015, and one of the last times he could legally head the ball. Starting Jan 1., heading — a staple of the sport, producing some of its most drammatic moments — will be prohibited for players under 14.
Little Logan Krebs' soccer match Saturday at Lone Lane Park in Upper Macungie was one of his last matches of 2015 — and one of his last chances for a long time to head the ball legally.
Starting Jan 1., heading — a staple of the game producing some of its most exhilarating moments — will be prohibited for players 10 years of age and under, and limited during practice for those under 14.
The dramatic rule change is a result of a legal settlement announced last week by the U.S. Soccer Federation, whose membership includes youth organizations throughout the country. The agreement resolves a class action lawsuit prompted by a group of California parents concerned about concussions.
Soccer is hardly the first sport to adopt special rules to ensure the safety of its youngest players. Hockey required helmets long ago, and youth baseball leagues limit the number of pitches pitchers may throw to prevent damage to developing arms. Among such accommodations, however, the heading ban stands out because it strikes directly at such a central feature of soccer.
In the so-called beautiful game, players may use their heads to redirect punts past the midfield line or to score on corner kicks blasted into the penalty box at the speed of a fastball. Injury can come from the ball itself, or from the collision of two heads vying for the ball.
Like others at Saturday's Lehigh Valley Youth Soccer League match, Logan's father, Roland Krebs of Upper Macungie, said he was surprised by the heading ban, and that he had mixed feelings about it.
He said while he "would want to make sure that we are not neglecting the safety of children," he also considers soccer a relatively safe game, and that the younger players on his son's U-9 (under 9 years of age) team don't head the ball that much anyway.
"I'd be more worried about contact football," he said.
Injuries, especially head injuries, are a growing concern in youth sports. And despite soccer's reputation as a relatively safe alternative to football, it is a major source of concussions. When two players go for the ball, their heads can hit with enough impact to cause major trauma.
A study published in July in JAMA Pediatrics, a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Medical Association, found that heading accounted for nearly a third of concussions among boys and about a quarter of concussions among girls. The vast majority of those heading-related concussions were due not to contact with the ball, but with another player.
According to the USSF suit — which sought no financial damages, only rule changes — nearly 50,000 high school soccer players sustained concussions in 2010, which was more than in basketball, baseball, softball and wrestling combined.
In addition to the new heading rules, the USSF said it will announce within 30 days new return-to-play protocols and substitution rules that allow coaches to replace injured players. It also plans an initiative to improve concussion awareness.
"U.S. Soccer sought input from its medical science committee, which includes experts in the field of concussion diagnosis and management, as well as from its technical advisers, and worked with its youth members to develop a true consensus-based program," USSF Secretary General Dan Flynn said in a news release.
Meanwhile, youth soccer clubs and leagues across the country are eagerly awaiting further instruction, and those in the Lehigh Valley are no exception. Among the many pressing questions:
• How will the U-11 heading ban be enforced? For example, will a penalty resulting in a free kick be assessed against a player who heads the ball?
• How much will players under 14 be allowed to head during practice?
"From a club standpoint, I fully support this," Matt Skekel, president of the Upper Milford Youth Soccer Association, said of the heading ban. "Most kids are not taught the proper way to play a header — they use the wrong part of their head."
But the effectiveness of the ban, he cautioned, will depend on enforcement at the local level. "We as clubs can tell the players to follow this rule. But if it is not enforced in the leagues the kids play in, then they will continue to do it."
Bill Ross, president of the Lehigh Valley Youth Soccer League, which oversees competitive "travel" soccer throughout the region, recalled witnessing concussions when his daughter played high school soccer. "As a parent, any time you see a head injury, your heart just stops."
But he also believes heading gets too much blame, since so many concussions having nothing to do with it. Indeed, this is something he learned from first-hand experience as a referee not long ago, when a player accidentally kicked the ball at his head.
"It blasted me," he said. "I went down."
Nonetheless, he said, the Lehigh Valley Youth Soccer League will enforce the new rules. The league has no choice but to do so, he explained, since it is a member of Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer, which is an affiliate of the USSF.
"The bottom line is, it's for the safety of the kids," Ross concluded. "Any time it's about safety, it makes sense."
Scott Smith, chairman of the recreational Northern Valley Youth Soccer League, said he agrees "100 percent we should eliminate heading for kids under 10."
"We plan to do everything they are recommending," he said, adding that he'd like the league to go a step further and maintain a database tracking concussions to ensure players with repeated injuries are identified and receive proper care.
In announcing the settlement last week, Steve Berman, lead counsel for the plaintiffs, issued a statement noting that the goal of the suit was "to focus the attention of U.S. Soccer and its youth member organizations on the issue of concussions."
"With the development of the youth concussion initiative by U.S. Soccer and its youth members, we feel we have accomplished our primary goal," he said. "We are pleased that we were able to play a role in improving the safety of the sport for soccer-playing children in this country."
The settlement did not address the separate but related issue of sub-concussive trauma, also associated with heading, that scientists suspect can lead to degenerative brain disease. Such trauma from, say, heading a goalie punt or a line-drive corner kick, is comparable to that experienced by boxers punched in head or by football players when they crash helmets, researchers at Purdue University found in a recent study using sensors attached to soccer players' heads.
Last year, former American college and semi-professional soccer player Patrick Grange became the first soccer player to be found with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, which previously was mostly associated with former football players. Grange had died at age 29 in 2012 from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, which is often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Back at Lone Lane park Saturday, Faye Motsenigos of South Whitehall Township cheered from the sidelines as her son, Vasilis, played in the game. News of the heading ban left her "torn," she said.
"You hear things [about heading] all the time. It's kind of scary. But you can't put a bubble around them," she said, looking at the boys as they scrambled for the ball. "Well, I'd like to, but you can't."

Question: I need an auto loan after Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but wondering if I can get the car I want. I recently just got out of bankruptcy and I pulled my credit score it's currently at 534.
I'm looking to purchase a 2008-2010 Malibu and I have $1,500 saved as a down payment. What do you think my chances are at getting into a vehicle?
While I was in bankruptcy I got a approval from a subprime here in Georgia for 14K but I haven't tried anywhere else yet.
Lenders Know What's On Your Credit...Do You?
What's your Credit Score? Find out FREE!
You'll definitely be able to get approved for an auto loan after chapter 7 bankruptcy, but the question will be for how much and will that amount allow you to buy the Malibu you want.
There are a lot of factors that are taken into consideration on the lenders end when loaning money in these situations.
One key will be your monthly income and if you make enough to support the monthly payments. You will be paying a high rate of interest since this is your first loan after the bankruptcy which will drive your payments up.
A $16,000 loan at 19% will run you just over $400 a month and if you don't make at least $2700 a month, then you more than likely won't get approved.
That being said, I don't think you'll be financing quite that much if you look at 2008 models.
The lenders will also take into consideration past auto loans and any that may have been taken down in the BK as well.
To sum this up, you will most definitely get approved (assuming the dealer works with the right lenders), but for how much and at what rate I'm not sure.
You may also need to put some money down in order to get a better approval (lower rate). For an auto loan after chapter 7 bankruptcy most lenders are looking for a minimum of 10%, but some will take as little as $500-$1000.
You should be in good shape with the $1500 you currently have, but the more the merrier!
Good luck to you and be sure to not get in too over your head. If you have to settle for a Malibu with maybe less options than what you'd like that's okay, because you really want to use this loan to get your credit reestablished.
Once reestablished your next time around you'll be in much better shape.

Today we are continuing to look at the historical tax tables to see how we viewed and possibly defined rich. I introduced this idea with my post: Defining Rich III. I found a source for all sorts of historical data from the Census Bureau. You can down load it or the better way is to click on the PDF file which brings up the Intro and then click on any of the listings of the table of contents which takes you to that set of PDF data. For this posting regarding income data I am using this section.
The data uses an average of 1923 to 1925 to equal 100% for comparisons. Thus, 1936 weekly earnings were 89.7 % of that standard however they were 109.9 % adjusted for cost of living. Things were looking up having hit their lows in 1933.
Thus we have an annual income ranging from a high of $1827.80 per year for the newspaper worker to $717.60 per year for the cotton goods worker. These are the numbers you need to keep in mind as we look at the 1936 tax tables. These are the numbers that let us start to understand what we used to consider rich.
The lowest tax rate in 1936 is 4% on incomes up to $4000. This $4000 appears to capture the income of the vast majority of workers in the nation in 1936. Remember, this income that is taxed is already adjusted for any deductions. Thus, if after all your deductions you had $4000 left over, you paid 4% of that in federal income tax. You paid $160 in taxes. Today, using the converted average income a person would be paying up to 15% of their adjusted income for federal income taxes. They would be paying 25% if they were receiving the equivalent share of GDP/capita.
The highest rate in 1936 is 79% on income over $5,000,000. OH MY GOD! Don't panic folks. Converted as unskilled labor, this is $188,000,000 of adjusted gross income. That is a freakn' pile of money after all deductions are taken. Still, I'm sure some are thinking I must be a real soak the rich kind of guy to brush off 79%. Here's the thing. It's a very big thing. VERY BIG THING. This person is only paying that 79% on any money above the $5,000,000 after all deductions. They spent all the money they believed their business (s) needed, they gave all they wanted to charity, they took the housing credits, subtracted any losses on capital gains, gave to their children and any other activity that would subtract money from their gross income. When it was all done, that person still had $5,000,000 left over to be taxed at 79% and it is only that $1 (ONE DOLLAR) which put their income at $5,000,000 that will be taxed at 79%.
What we have forgotten, or have failed to honestly accept is that the old way of producing a tax schedule did not tax at a constant rate from the first dollar. Each time you broke into a new "tax bracket" only that money within that tax bracket was taxed at the brackets given rate. Thus, the higher up the tax rate ladder one was, the smaller their actual percentage of income paid for taxes became relative to the indexes specified rate. Frankly what this means is that the only person paying the full bracketed rate is the person at the bottom of the table. If you were in the 4% bracket, you paid a full 4% of your ADJUSTED gross income to the federal government. How convenient for those arguing to "simplify" the tax system that a huge portion of the tax paying public pays the full indexed rate and thus when you talk to them about a 79% tax rate they are prone to interpret that rate as being paid on all the money they earned. Ouch! How to move a populous made simple.
There were 33 brackets in 1936. When people talked about the "complexity" of the tax system they used to be talking about how many brackets there were. After all, the goal of the complainers is to get the "system" down to the lowest single rate they can buy. Interestingly enough, there is a flat rate in the 1936 table. You just had to be willing to really work hard to earn an income large enough to receive such a rate. It's the top rate.
The following chart shows how this works. It is a chart of the percentages of the marginal rate verse the actual rate paid. Notice how there is a bulge in the middle. Those people got the biggest built in break from the marginal rate. I don't know how to figure out how many people were within the bracket range of number 7 to 23, but it would be interesting to see if this was what we would consider the middle class.
What all this comes down to is a chart that looks as follows: Notice that once we get to the 25th bracket the individual is paying more than 50% of their income in taxes. For shame people will say. How dare We the People take so much from that person. It's stealing! NOT!
For out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor and capital - all undreamed of by the Fathers - the whole structure of modern life was impressed into this royal service. President Roosevelt, June 27, 1936.
First, at the 25th bracket the adjusted gross income in today's unskilled labor value is $9,420,000 per year. Remember, ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME. All deductions have been taken. There is nothing at this income that one could not have had at $7,540,000 (the converted income that taxes less than 50%) that is not just more of what they already have.
People have made. In practice if you own a business and have employees, the road you used to get to your business is used by all the employees and thus you have received a share of their share of the use of the road. You have received a greater share of the road's effect on economic activity without doing any extra work. You only had to pay your taxes...just like all your employees in order to have that road in place for your use. I believe this is why there was a point in the 1936 tax table at which your tax paid became greater than 50% and climbed steeply until you rang the income bell at which time your were rewarded with a flat rate on everything earned beyond the bell's posted height.
As a professional, I can understand the argument to separate the two issues via 2 professions. The concept of a profession is that it is specialized. As a thinking person and a citizen, the public discussion should not allow the issue of efficiency to dominate one profession's focus while the issue of equity dominates another profession. We have to assure both equity and efficiency are discussed and decided upon in order to stay true to the preamble of the Constitution and minimize Thomas Jefferson's observation of the citizens response.
There is one major point to learn from the charts above. If you want a progressive system, you need many tax brackets. The more steps there are the more fair and specifically addressed is any particular level of income. To compare the charts of 1936 to 2010, you can view the 2010 table here and the graph here.
Below is the chart constructed for the 1936 tax brackets. Next up is 1946.

We did put a lot of work into occupations that pay well and have good career possibilities in 2023; but, there will also be a fantastic amount of chances for individuals who are looking to make less money than they already do. In the sections that follow, we will discuss the many low-wage professions and associated industries that are expected to experience an increase in the number of jobs that are available as well as a maintenance of the positions that already exist up until the year 2023. These projections are based on the fact that it is anticipated that the economy will continue to grow over the next five years.
As a consequence of recent advancements in the energy industry as well as the economy, a variety of professions that were before improbable are beginning to become more possible. Anyone who are interested in entering the workforce in the years 2023 and beyond will discover that new opportunities have opened up as a consequence of developments in technology and labor shortages. These new opportunities will be available to people who are interested in entering the workforce. People are interested in the possibilities presented here. The rise of flexible work arrangements, hybrid business models, and the trend toward outsourcing employment on the basis of short-term gig contracts have all directly led to significant revisions in HR job descriptions. These changes have been made as a direct result of the rise of flexible work arrangements. There has been a surge in the number of companies that are implementing what is referred to as a "hybrid" approach to the workplace, which coincides with the rise in the number of companies that let their employees to work from home.
There has been a considerable rise in the number of businesses that are now in a position to lawfully employ individuals to carry out their duties from the comfort of their own homes. However, during the next six months, practically all of these businesses, even those who were previously unable to do so, will demand that their employees be physically present in the workplace. This need will apply to both full-time and part-time workers. Within the next six months, the vast majority of companies that currently allow workers to perform their jobs outside the office will change their policy to require employees to report to the physical location of the business. This shift will take place in businesses that currently allow workers to perform their jobs outside the office. More than two thirds of companies (73%) that allow employees to do their duties totally from home have said that they would either change their working methods soon (28%) or likely (45%) within the following six months.
Even if just a minuscule fraction of workers have gone back to their workplaces full-time, the total number of hours per week that employees are authorized to do their jobs from home is still unknown. There will be an increase in the number of individuals who identify themselves as "digital nomads," which refers to those who work full-time jobs while also traveling to other locations. It is projected that by the year 2023, a higher number of companies will implement legislation for flexible work schedules. Because of these regulations, people will be able to keep their jobs while also tending to their other responsibilities, such as pursuing their education or taking care of their children.
It is projected that More Than 3s will continue to expand during the year 2023 as a direct consequence of a rise in the number of people and businesses who understand the benefits of employing more than three workers. At the current rate of approximately 30 percent per wave, the pace at which employment is automated is projected to rapidly accelerate; however, if more companies implement technological breakthroughs, the pace at which employment is automated is projected to rapidly accelerate to a rate that is expected to be much higher.
As a direct consequence of the hybrid age, businesses will realize by the year 2023 that their workers are more productive than they have ever been, and that employees are not secretly quitting the company. This revelation will come about as a direct effect of the hybrid age. In the year 2023, businesses will begin looking in some unexpected places for pointers on how to remodel the workplace in order to accommodate the requirements of the occupations of the future. This is because the requirements of the occupations of the future are expected to be significantly different from those of today's occupations. The end result will be workplaces and work cultures that are significantly different from those experienced by previous generations, including possibly those who are already considering retirement. This will be the case because the workplaces and work cultures of the future will be significantly different from those of the past. The development of new technologies will directly be responsible for the emergence of this distinction in the future.
It is projected that the era after the pandemic would usher in a new paradigm of hybrid or working-from-anywhere arrangements, both of which will raise the need for project managers. Moreover, the demand for project managers is expected to rise. It is in the best interest of companies to promote the use of remote work and hybrid work arrangements, as this will enhance productivity for the firm as well as for the workers working there. If businesses want hybrid work to be successful, they need to pay attention to the needs of their workers and give the level of flexibility that people anticipate obtaining from their employers.
If workers are forced to work remotely, even on an occasional basis, the proper tools ought to be made accessible to them in order for them to be able to carry out their duties in an efficient manner. It is essential for good EX programs to address difficulties such as ensuring that workers have access to the resources they need in order to carry out their responsibilities in an efficient manner. If companies are serious about attracting and retaining the most talented individuals—many of whom would prefer to work in other countries—they will need to be willing to give their employees greater leeway in determining how and where they carry out their job responsibilities. This will require that businesses be willing to give their employees greater leeway in determining how and where they carry out their job responsibilities.
When the year 2023 rolls around, businesses will be faced with the additional challenge of building methods for monitoring employee performance and standards without compromising either their employees' privacy or their independence. This will be essential in that era because the labor would be dispersed around the globe to a greater extent than it is now. It is projected that more workers will be doing their duties away from traditional workplaces in the year 2023. As a consequence, companies will continue to invest in technologies to monitor and manage employee behavior as a result of this trend.
Because inflation is still the most major challenge that workers must contend with, they have a considerable incentive to look for other job opportunities and make the most of their skills in order to increase their incomes. Despite the low likelihood of having to engage in layoffs, businesses that provide their workers with some degree of leeway in the scheduling of their work hours will be in a better position to recruit and retain employees of a higher quality. This will enable the businesses to maximize their potential profits. Workers get the biggest advantages from working for a firm that has strong moral and ethical standards because their employers place a higher level of faith in them and give them more latitude to make decisions within their positions.
According to the findings of a survey that was carried out by Dice, approximately eighty percent of technical professionals stated that they wouldn't apply for higher-paying employment at organizations with a poor image. Furthermore, more than ninety percent of respondents stated that employer branding is essential when searching for a new company. According to research carried out by Dice, just thirty percent of engineers are interested in working in hybrid environments, despite the fact that seventy percent of companies are now developing preparations for hybrid futures.
According to the findings of our research, this expansion is the result of a number of different variables coming together at the same time. Some of these variables include: improved salary potential; the pursuit of work-life balance; the utilization of telecommuting; and a stronger focus on brand reputation. Even though there has been tremendous job growth, which was to be expected, it is predicted that 62 percentage points of middle-wage positions would be lost between now and the end of 2023. This loss is due to the fact that the economy is becoming more competitive. There are 62 percent of all jobs that offer a wage that is somewhere in the middle of the range, and some examples of the types of jobs that fall into this category include customer service representatives, truck drivers, and those who work in construction.

Error Enumerations¶

Synopsis¶

The header file fterrors.h (which is automatically included by freetype.h defines the handling of FreeType's enumeration constants. It can also be used to generate error message strings with a small macro trick explained below.

Error Formats

The configuration macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_MODULE_ERRORS can be defined in ftoption.h in order to make the higher byte indicate the module where the error has happened (this is not compatible with standard builds of FreeType 2, however). See the file ftmoderr.h for more details.

Error Message Strings

Error definitions are set up with special macros that allow client applications to build a table of error message strings. The strings are not included in a normal build of FreeType 2 to save space (most client applications do not use them).

To do so, you have to define the following macros before including this file.

  FT_ERROR_START_LIST

This macro is called before anything else to define the start of the error list. It is followed by several FT_ERROR_DEF calls.

  FT_ERROR_DEF( e, v, s )

This macro is called to define one single error. ‘e’ is the error code identifier (e.g., Invalid_Argument), ‘v’ is the error's numerical value, and ‘s’ is the corresponding error string.

  FT_ERROR_END_LIST

This macro ends the list.

Additionally, you have to undefine FTERRORS_H_ before #including this file.

Here is a simple example.

  #undef FTERRORS_H_
  #define FT_ERRORDEF( e, v, s )  { e, s },
  #define FT_ERROR_START_LIST     {
  #define FT_ERROR_END_LIST       { 0, NULL } };

  const struct
  {
    int          err_code;
    const char*  err_msg;
  } ft_errors[] =

  #include FT_ERRORS_H

An alternative to using an array is a switch statement.

  #undef FTERRORS_H_
  #define FT_ERROR_START_LIST     switch ( error_code ) {
  #define FT_ERRORDEF( e, v, s )    case v: return s;
  #define FT_ERROR_END_LIST       }

If you use FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_MODULE_ERRORS, error_code should be replaced with FT_ERROR_BASE(error_code) in the last example.

FT_Error_String¶

Defined in FT_ERRORS_H (freetype/fterrors.h).

  FT_EXPORT( const char* )
  FT_Error_String( FT_Error  error_code );

#endif /* FT_ERR_PROTOS_DEFINED */

#endif /* FT_INCLUDE_ERR_PROTOS */

#endif /* !(FTERRORS_H_ && __FTERRORS_H__) */

/* END */

Retrieve the description of a valid FreeType error code.

input

error_code

A valid FreeType error code.

return

A C string or NULL, if any error occurred.

note

FreeType has to be compiled with FT_CONFIG_OPTION_ERROR_STRINGS or FT_DEBUG_LEVEL_ERROR to get meaningful descriptions. ‘error_string’ will be NULL otherwise.

Module identification will be ignored:

  strcmp( FT_Error_String(  FT_Err_Unknown_File_Format ),
          FT_Error_String( BDF_Err_Unknown_File_Format ) ) == 0;

I came across a problem today with a rather aged Server 2003 R2 server. I rebooted it as part of some troubleshooting, and after the reboot found I was unable to connect to the server via RDP. So, I jumped on the VM console to check various things, the Terminal Services service was started, but I did force a stop of this and start it again. Checked over the registry to ensure the listening port hadn't been changed for any reason. Checked the terminal services configuration to ensure the connection wasn't disabled and there were no strange limits imposed on the connection, but all looked normal. I did try disabling and re-enabling the connection, but still no luck. When I did a netstat -ao and looked for anything listening on 3389, there was nothing at all listening, no Terminal Services or any conflicting service was listening on port 3389.


The Department of Life Sciences is organizing a 5-day residential, practical training workshop titled "CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in model and non-model organisms from theory to the bench" from 24th to 28th May, 2018. The workshop will provide hands-on training in genome editing of mammalian cells as well as of infectious pathogens using the state-of-the-art CRISPR/Cas9 system. Participants will learn to develop a CRISPR/Cas project suitable to answering their research question, identify and design optimal CRISPR targets using bioinformatics tools, generation of gene knockouts, and validation of knockouts using the most current technologies. The registration deadline for the workshop is May 12, 2018. A preliminary schedule is available (see here), and will be updated shortly.

A new, luxury observation carriage built by the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways for Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway has been delivered to Cumbria.
The carriage, which offers panoramic views, was built at Boston Lodge Works to a similar design as the Ff&WHR's Pullman observation cars, and is set to become a blueprint for a programme to enhance passer comfort on the 15in gauge line.
RER operations manager Martin Cookman, said: "The Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways is a leader in the field of steam train engineering, which is why we are so chuffed to be working with them on this project. We are going to use it to decide the size of the new rolling stock replacements.

WELCOME to the Wednesday blog – each week filled by Angler's Mail magazine's HQ, focussing on happenings in the wonderful world of fishing, including latest tackle.
There will be something for everyone – pleasure fishing, carp fishing, match fishing, specialist fishing or anything else.
This week's Angler's Mail HQ blog is by reporter Ben Weir.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above.
Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page.
IT'S great to see the Environment Agency taking the threat of illegal fish on an industrial scale more seriously.
I have often been of the opinion that a few poachers armed with inadequate tackle and very basic angling ability would have a minimal affect on our fisheries.
However when we start seeing the likes of fyke traps, crayfish traps and gill nets strewn across our waterways you realise these could have catastrophic effects on fish populations.
This coupled with the impact it will have on other wildlife including birds or heaven help the anglers friend the otter its great for them to make a stand.
To find out more on Project Ghillie pick up a copy of this week's Angler's Mail magazine and head to page 4.
Read the full stories Ben comments on here, plus loads of great stuff, in this week's Angler's Mail mag. A big value £1.80.
BRIAN DOBSONS half-hearted court battle with regards to otters was laughable to say the very least.
His claims were baseless and unproven and I am actually surprised it was even heard in court at all.
Now Mr Dobson has all my sympathies that his life has been ruined by alleged otter predation but he really should have done more homework before taking these actions.
I FEEL for the guys and gals down at pike mecca Chew – I've been in a similar situation in my previous job.
Anglers take it upon themselves as being the 'experts' as opposed to allowing fishery manager that are normally somewhat more qualified in this field.
Chew is, has been and always will be a phenomenon of a fishery and for people to say it's on its last legs when it produced 30 lb fish every day for a week is testament to the way in which the venue is managed.
British record ling – sea angler or not you couldn't fail to be impressed.
Litter – it's the blight of the river and lake banks in the country and now looks to have sounding the death knell for this year's World Catfish Classic in Spain.
TOP carper Terry Hearn talks bait and has certainly got some gems to discuss at The Big One!

Marske pooch Ollie seeks new home
GORGEOUS pooch Ollie was on the brink of death when he arrived at a Teesside veterinary practice
Laura LoveAdvance Content Writer
But, now, after some love, care and attention, he has made a full recovery and is hoping for a new home.
Ollie, a Rhodesian ridgeback cross, is thought to be about 18 months old and was brought to Marske Vets by the police in November last year.
He had been found in Grangetown and was skin and bone and very poorly, having clearly been mistreated by his previous owners.
But Ollie's problems didn't stop there.
He also had gangrene and if it was not for the treatment he received , he would have died.
Debbie Moses, 25, a veterinary nurse at the practice looking after Ollie until he finds a new home, said: "Ollie is a lovely and friendly dog.
"He was in such a sorry state when he first came in to us but we have given him all the treatment he needs.
"He was quite shy when he came in but he has really come out of his shell."
Debbie added: "Ollie would make such a lovely pet.
"I have an 18-month-old daughter and he is great with her. I also have other dogs and he is fine with them.
"He really deserves a new home and a new start."
If anyone is interested in giving Ollie a home, call the practice during opening hours on 01642 488777.
