I've just finished a scenario covering Operation Epsom, the British offensive in Normandy in June 1944.I've made it as historically accurate as possible. I'm looking for playtesters. If you're interesting, send a mail to pcschout@xs4all.nl, and I'll send you the files.
Status: offline Where do I download this at?
Status: offline Elsavior has put the scenario up for download at his site, http://elsavior.albaani.org/airbornedepot/, so if your interested you can download it there.
Status: offline Remove ',' after the link and it should work or click my signature to get to Airborne Depot.
Status: offline Ah cool, a normandy scenario.
Pieter, ill download it and report back.
One of the British Inf Bdes - I think it's 159 but I forget to grab a screenshot - shows up as a battalion "II" on the orders bar, rather than as a brigade "X". That was all I spotted, though.
Status: offline You're right, I accidentally put in a "mot inf bn tac hq" instead of a "mot inf bde tac hq". There are some other things in the scenario that need fixing, I'm working on it and hope to release an updated version soon.
Status: offline Pieter, just finished playing the scenario and had a lot of fun. It took me sometime to complete as I did not play in one session and, for a change, played a lot of the game at the normal speed rather than really fast. Anyway - I achieved a complete victory only failing to hold one of the objectives (and that one was lost only when a huge german counter attack arround day 4 required me to move some forces and they therefore left the area of the objective). I am typing this at work so forgive the lack of details (i've got it all at home).
I saved the final AAR and will post if you are interested but essentially the germans inflicted some 5,500 casualties and destroyed 4 units (but only through surrender). I inflicted some 16,500 casualties and destroyed some 54 units or so and a large proportion were destroyed as a result of fire rather than surrender.
I am not nearly experienced enough to venture an opinion as to how balanced the scenario is - all I can say is that it was fun but a bloody hard slog. It is vital to move your forces as quickly as possible to take advantage of taking the germans off guard but then, of course, when the germans finally do start to rally, many of your units are suffering from high fatigue.
Good job - any movement on the updated version?
Status: offline The updated version is ready. I've asked Elsavior if it is possible to post it on his site, but I haven't heard from him yet. For play against the AI I'd recommend 'favour axis' when playing as the British, and 'favour allies' when playing as the Germans. See the designer notes for more details.
If you send me an e-mail, I'll send you the new files.

Perhaps no single individual has done more to preserve and promote the history and heritage of the north-east inner city than Terry Fagan.
His involvement spans a period of five decades, beginning in the 1970s and continuing up to and beyond the establishment of the North Inner City Folklore Project in the late 1980s.
Over the course of almost half a century, Terry has been involved in promoting local heritage, rescuing historical records, recording local memories, and acting as the sole custodian of a body of archival material that is both specific to the north inner city area and of considerable value to the wider heritage of Dublin.
Local History and Legends
Terry was born and reared in the tenements of Corporation Buildings, in the heart of what was known as Monto. The son of a Dublin docker, Michael, and one of a family of eleven (including six brother and two sisters), Terry's love of Monto and the North Inner City has been forged through his life experiences and growing up on a diet of local history and legends of the area.
Terry's mother, Margaret, was the last Corporation tenant to leave Foley Street (originally called Montgomery Street which spawned Monto's nickname).
In the 1970s, Terry was a youth club organiser in the old underground Air Raid shelters of St Mary's Mansions on Sean MacDermott Street. He was also a one-time caretaker of the famous Rutland Street School (irreverently dubbed by one interviewee as 'The Red-Brick Slaughterhouse").
After leaving "The Red Brick Slaughterhouse", he completed a two year National University of Ireland 'Diploma for Social Entrepreneurs' where he achieved First Class Honours.
First Hand Accounts of Life
Terry was also a voluntary community worker in the seventies, delivering hot food to the elderly, infirm, or otherwise housebound people of old Monto through the Meals on Wheels service run by Sister Gerard of the Daughters of Charity.
It was a network on which many depended, not only for nourishing food but also stimulating company and regular contact. It was during these visits that Terry often found himself invited in for a cup of tea and a chat. The stories he heard through first-hand accounts of life in the real Monto from the people who lived there fired his enthusiasm to tell the other side of the story of Monto and of the community that fought against social and economic exclusion right up to the present day.
Terry and his fellow onetime folklorist Ben Savage have produced or co-produced several best selling books of local history and reminiscences of working class north Inner City Dublin.
They include 'Memories' and the follow up 'Those Were the Days' about life in Corporation Buildings and Foley Street; 'All Around the Diamond', focusing on the famous Gloucester Diamond; 'Down by the Dockside' reminiscences of Sheriff Street and 'Larriers', recalling schooldays in St Laurence O'Toole's Christian Brothers School in Seville Place. His published books are 'Monto Madams, Murder and Black Coddle' and 'Dublin Tenement Life'.

Food contamination on par with 'treason': New Zealand food industry backs bill demanding harsher punishment for saboteurs
Food industry groups in New Zealand are rallying behind a proposed bill that is demanding the introduction of harsher punishment for people who deliberately contaminate/sabotage food.
The bill is being proposed by the National Party's food safety spokesperson Nathan Guy.
"My Member's Bill seeks to achieve what Damien O'Connor appears unwilling to do – protect New Zealanders from those that would threaten our food safety, be they reckless pranksters or people intent on nothing less than economic sabotage," said Guy via an official press release.
"Recent events here in New Zealand and across the Tasman, such as the strawberry needle scares, have identified the need for greater sanctions to prevent these sorts of idiotic behaviours. The food and grocery sector has been ignored in its calls for tougher laws.
Poorly understood allergy: Academics highlight FPIES triggers, including rice and milk
Australian academics have drawn attention to a 'poorly understood' food allergy — Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), which is often misdiagnosed in infants as sepsis or gastroenteritis.
The most common food triggers for FPIES are rice, cow's milk, egg, oats and chicken.
FPIES typically presents between one and four hours after ingestion of the trigger food, with symptoms including profuse vomiting, pallor and lethargy. Other features can include hypotension, hypothermia, diarrhoea, neutrophilia and thrombocytosis.
Co-authors of a new narrative review, Dr Sam Mehr, a paediatric immunologist and allergist at Royal Melbourne Hospital, and Professor Dianne Campbell, Chair of Paediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of Sydney, and Children's Hospital, Westmead, noted: "Diagnosis is often hampered by the lack of awareness of FPIES, absence of reliable biomarkers, the non-specific nature of the presenting symptoms, and the delay between allergen exposure and symptoms."
Allergen information concern: Half of all adverse reactions occur in products without warning labels
More than half of all cases of anaphylaxis or food allergy reactions featured in a new study occurred after the consumption of products that failed to contain any allergen warning labels, according to researchers at the University of Melbourne.
"Over 50% of anaphylaxis self-reports were related to product labels not containing any warning for the likely trigger allergen (whether it be a general precautionary allergen labelling (PAL), or PAL for the specific trigger food)," lead author Giovanni Zurzolo told FoodNavigator-Asia.
"[This is] of concern, as the food allergic consumer would consider these products safe for consumption."
Allergen-free collaboration: Four Japanese food firms cook up recipe initiative
Four Japanese food firms, Nippon Ham, House Foods, Otafuku, and Nagatanien, have partnered to launch allergen-free food recipes, the first collaboration of such in the food industry.
The recipes do not include core food allergens such as egg, milk, peanuts, shrimp, crab, buckwheat, and wheat. Under Japan's Food Labelling act, it is also mandatory to state the presence of any of these seven allergens in food products.
For a start, the collaboration has launched six allergen-free recipes, including fried curry bread, petit pizza, rice ball, salad and mayonnaise dip, pancake made with rice flour, and ham bread, which are available on the respective companies' website.
These recipes feature products from the four companies, such as non-egg mayonnaise from Otafuku, curry from House Foods, ham from Nippon Ham, and A-Label salmon furikake from Nagatanien.
No more chocolate, soft drinks, or fries: UAE bans nine 'unhealthy' foods in school canteens
Last week, the UAE Ministry of Education published a list of food items that are no longer allowed for sale in schools, including chocolate, soft drinks and fries. Students were also told to refrain from bringing those items to schools.
Aimed at helping students adopt a healthy diet, the policy will be administered across all seven emirates.
The banned items include hot dogs and processed meats, instant noodles, chocolate bars (with and without nuts), chocolate spreads, sweets (including lollipops and jelly), peanut products, potato and corn chips, carbonated drinks, including energy drinks, flavoured water, juice, iced tea, slushies, and eskimo drinks as well as cream cakes and doughnuts.

Local woman earns humanities service award
This article originally appeared in the Bartlett Press.
Bartlett, IL – Bartlett resident Rita Lopienski has a collection of drums and percussion instruments from Asia, Africa, South America, the Caribbean and the Native American culture.
With a degree in music therapy and a master's in music education, Lopienski began using her expertise to lead drumming circles with senior citizens nine years ago.
"It's using music in a unique way to make people feel good," Lopienski said. "And it fits in so well with cultural diversity programming."
Because of her music therapy work and other community involvement, Lopienski was one of 44 Illinois residents who received the Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award this year, and one of 450 recipients since 1999.
Every two years, the Illinois Humanities Council invites mayors throughout the state to nominate one individual who has shown a sustained and significant contribution to furthering public understanding of the humanities in their community, according to its Web site.
At Bartlett's board meeting Nov. 1, Village President Mike Kelly recognized Lopienski for her accomplishments and presented her with the award.
Lopienski is the Community Life Manager at Victory Centre of Bartlett and was nominated for the award by Kelly. Kelly has known Lopienski for 15 years through her work at Lexington Health Care of Streamwood, the Mental Health Board in Hanover Township and Arts in Bartlett.
"She exemplifies what all of us should strive for," Kelly said. "She looks for the best in people. She brings out the best in everyone she is around — her ability to sing, draw or just talk with people."
About two and a half years ago, Lopienski said she created the Bartlett International Chorus because music lovers told her they wished there was a community chorus. The group is composed of 17 female residents and puts on more than a dozen performances around Bartlett each year.
Lopienski also facilitates drumming circles at the Bartlett Park District's Earth Day celebration every year and has performed in various community musicals.
Kelly called Lopienski a "organizer extraordinaire" and said she has the ability to organize and create just about anything.
"It's an honor for Bartlett to have a fine woman with community force," he said. "Her additions to Bartlett have only just begun."
Lopienski echoes that thought.
"It's quite an honor to be acknowledged for something that is dear to my heart — promoting humanities in the community," she said. "It encourages me to want to do more."

I-S-U opens basketball season with three wins
The Iowa State men are 3-0 on their young season. Mike Taylor scored 14 points and had some key baskets down the stretch as the Cyclones held off Eastern Illinois 56-54, their third win in as many days.
Cyclone coach Greg McDermott says they were running on fumes especially in the second half, as he says they were back on their heals defensively. He says it was good to get the win as Eastern is a tough team to prepare for.
McDermott says considering the inexperience on the team he is pleased with the start. He says it was tough to line up freshman and junior college players for three straight games, and he says they handled it pretty well. McDermott says the players absorbed a lot of information in a short time, which he says shows they should be able to execute a game plan with a little more time to prepare.

Freaked Out About the Bird Flu? Talk to This Guy
Nobel Prize-winning scientist Peter Doherty wrote the book on pandemics—literally.
roibu/iStock
One morning in October 1996, veterinary pathologist and virologist Peter Doherty was awakened by a 4:30 a.m. telephone call. "Something's gone wrong," was his first thought. Doherty was living in Memphis at the time, and figured one of his Australian relatives was calling with bad news. His wife picked up, and the caller said he was from the Nobel Foundation. "I'd always wondered how you know it's not a fake, because you've got people in the lab who are perfectly capable of doing that," Doherty says.
It was no prank. Doherty and his collaborator, the Swiss scientist Rolf Zinkernagel, had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work showing how the T cells of the immune system recognize virus-infected cells. "He told us, 'Look, you've got five minutes to alert people, because after that your phone's just going to go mad, because we're making the official announcement,'" Doherty recalls. "So we did that. And then the whole thing went crazy." The following year, he was named "Australian of the Year."
An animated 72-year-old with an impish grin, Doherty doesn't do as much lab work as he once did, but he's been prolific in other ways. I met him for lunch in San Francisco, where he'd come to give a lecture and promote two new books. Released in late-August, Pandemics: What Everyone Needs to Know is precisely what it sounds like—a question-and-answer primer on the pathogens that inhabit our nightmares. Even more recent is Their Fate Is Our Fate, which focuses on what birds can tell us about threats to our health—including disease and climate change. Over Asian food (he got the bi bim bap), Doherty explained how killing vultures can come back to haunt you, the reason you should never kiss a pig, and why—though he is fascinated by birds—he's no "twitcher."
Mother Jones: Your bird book kicks off with some comparative physiology. You explain why Daedalus and Icarus never would have gotten off the ground. But suppose we had a bird's lower body density and some nicely engineered wings. Could humans then fly?
Peter Doherty: I think you'd have to be the same size as a bird, too. The biggest birds would be an albatross or a condor, and the body mass is not that big, so that must be the limit that a bird can lift. I don't know how big archaeopteryx was—some things are gliders, so if archaeopteryx was a glider… We can fly if we use a pedal system! But not that far.
MJ: I take it you've become a bit of a birder.
PD: Not really. But I've become much more attuned to birds. I'm an old guy. I'm a typical scientist. I'm obsessive. But as you get older, you tend to smell the flowers more. We bought a house down on the southern tip of the Australian mainland, on Bass Strait, before you cross over to Tasmania. Walking on the beach there, I got interested in identifying the birds, but I'm not a twitcher—I don't want to identify 1,000 different species in one year. I'm just as fascinated, really, by a seagull as by a bald eagle, because of what they do and how they do it. I'm just intrigued by their physiology and their bird-ness.
MJ: What can birds tell us about the effects of climate change?
Peter Doherty ILRI/Flickr
PD: First of all, a lot of species of birds are way down in number. And a number of the species that migrate to and from the equator are tending to move their home range northward. The birds that are really endangered are the ones that don't migrate. Their habitat is changing and they're not necessarily going to cope because it's happening so quickly and they don't necessarily have time for adaptation.
MJ: You write about how drought caused by climate change can contribute to the spread of influenza in wild birds. Why is that?
PD: It brings birds together on a limited water source, so there's much more of a chance of transmission. Interestingly, with West Nile, 2012 was a very bad year, and that was a drought year—all the birds were coming very close together, and the insects were there, and were breeding down in the sewers in cities. It's paradoxical: In a wild situation where you get a lot of rain and a lot mosquitos you'd expect a lot of transmission. But in an urban environment, a drought situation can give you the ideal means of transmission.
MJ: Malaria used to be endemic in North America, but we've managed to mostly eradicate it. Lately, we're seeing a few cases of dengue fever down in Florida. Do you think climate change could bring about a resurgence of these sorts of diseases?
PD: Well, it's really a matter of mosquito control. Some people make a lot of this. And its certainly true that the range of viruses may change. We may see, for instance, Japanese encephalitis virus coming down into northern Australia, which we haven't seen. But even way back, yellow fever, a mosquito-borne infection, used to get right up to Montreal, the St. Lawrence waterway. So you know, it's a matter of degree. Really these viruses can still be controlled by mosquito control.
MJ: So it's more of a problem for poor countries?
PD: Yeah, because they can't afford the mosquito-control measures, and because once we outlawed DDT because the effect it was having on bird eggs, it made it extremely difficult.
MJ: In the book, you had a great example showing how upsetting the natural balance comes back to haunt us—where diclofenac, a drug used on cows in India, caused a big die-off of vultures that fed on the carcasses.
"The really dangerous flu virus is the one that, like the 1918 virus, kills maybe 2 percent. Because it'll slip by much more readily."
PD: Diclofenac is perfectly fine in us and in cattle, but it kills the vulture kidney, so something like 95 percent-plus of the Indian vultures have gone. The vultures are the primary bird that clears dead animals, and cattle are just allowed to die because of the sacred cow thing. The vultures strip them. When the vultures are not there, dogs strip them. That increases the number of wild dogs, which increases the amount of rabies. The first year this happened, they were getting something like 50,000 excess human rabies deaths due to dog bite. It was a disaster.
MJ: What are sentinel chickens?
PD: Sentinel chickens are the domestic chickens that public health people park around the countryside in small flocks. These are there to detect viruses and the spread of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. West Nile is one of them. The chicken recovers and makes antibodies, and so, by regularly bleeding these chickens, you can say that that virus is spreading in that region. It's a long-used technique.
MJ: You write that scientists actually have produced transgenic chickens that are less susceptible to bird flu. Is that a viable strategy?
PD: I think it is, but you'll have to get people accustomed to the idea that they're going to be eating GM chickens. And that's the main problem.
MJ: What pathogens keep you up at night?
PD: Flu is the most dangerous because it changes all the time and we can get completely new strains coming in from nature that we haven't seen before, like the H7N9 one they're very concerned about in China at the moment. When we're infected, initially we don't feel sick, but we're coughing up a lot of virus. And so we travel with influenza. It gets around by people traveling to various places, but it doesn't spread much in the plane.
MJ: Phew!
PD: You're at risk if you're two or three rows from someone who's coughing and spluttering flu, but it doesn't go through the plane's air-handling system, so it's not dangerous in that sense. But it gets around the world very, very fast. The terrible 1918-1919 pandemic that killed 50 to 100 million people was killing people in the trenches in 1918 but didn't get to Australia till 1919 because everyone's traveling by ship. The 2009 swine flu was probably in Australia before it was even detected in the United States—and that's air travel.
MJ: With flu, it seems like there's kind of a balancing act between deadliness and transmissibility.
PD: It's pure Darwinian selection. The H7N9 in China at the moment is going from birds to humans. The worry would be if that virus changes and starts to transmit between humans, because it's killing about 20 percent of the people it infects. Now of course, if it changes, it doesn't mean it will still be as virulent.
MJ: So the same mutation that allows it to spread between humans might make it weaker?
PD: Yeah, it could be. And the more severe it is, in a way the less dangerous it is, because the public health people will drop on it in a big way. The really dangerous flu virus is the one that, like the 1918 virus, kills maybe 2 percent. Because it'll slip by much more readily. That's why viruses like ebola haven't been a problem [in the developed world]—even though they're terrible infections.
MJ: How is it that a particular flu strain can infect one mammalian species but not another?
PD: It can be due to the surface receptors. Flu has only eight genes, and we still don't really understand a lot of the reasons why it infects this species but not that species, and spreads in this species, not that. There are different genes within the virus itself that seem to be important, and it may be combinations of genes. They're simple viruses, but they're incredibly able to defeat us in various ways.
MJ: Cats are vulnerable to bird flu, right?
PD: The H5N1 bird flu was causing a lot of disease in big cats like leopards that were fed infected chicken carcasses. It killed a lot of leopards in the Singapore zoo, for instance, before they realized what was happening.
MJ: As a bird enthusiast, how do you feel about domestic cats?
"Domestic cats should really be declawed if you're keeping them, and the feral cats should be shot…They're a total disaster in Australia."
PD: Domestic cats should really be declawed if you're keeping them, and the feral cats should be shot. They're just a disaster. They're a total disaster in Australia.
MJ: But they're not a worry in terms of spreading disease?
PD: There's no known case that I know of where a cat has transmitted a flu virus to a human. So as long as the cats aren't killing birds, you don't have worry about it—except toxoplasmosis if you're pregnant, but otherwise cats aren't a big problem.
MJ: But pigs can act as mixing vessels for different strains of influenza?
PD: Pigs are our main worry. The flu virus genetic material is organized in eight quite separate bits. So if the one cell in, say, a pig lung, gets infected with two different flu viruses, they can just repackage so you get bits of the different packages in new viruses. It's what we call a reassortment of gene segments. That's what happed with the 2009 swine flu. There was an American swine flu virus and there was a Eurasian swine flu. Somehow they got together, and that repackaged virus was extremely infectious for humans. The 1968 Hong Kong flu came about when a virus circulating in humans called H2N2 reassorted with an H3N8 virus that was in ducks. And that we think probably happened in a pig—we're not sure.
MJ: Have Asian countries been forthcoming about outbreaks?
PD: There was a holding back initially with SARS in 2002, but I think that they learned that that doesn't really work very well, and they've been much more open. They haven't been as open about what's been happening in animals as they have been about what's happening in humans. They also, early on, used animal vaccines they shouldn't have used. They should've slaughtered to get rid of the infection in chickens, and these vaccines probably made the problem worse.
MJ: Yeah, I was actually going to bring up the economic consequences of the slaughter.
PD: It's a real loss. If a poor farmer has to slaughter all his chickens, maybe his kids can't go to school.
"The calculated loss of a severe flu pandemic is $300 billion, something like that. I mean, it's a lot of money."
MJ: How would a major pandemic affect the economy of a country like the United States?
PD: People would stop flying, for a start. That means the hotel industry and the airline industry would go down the tube.
MJ: And dining. And entertainment.
PD: Anything where people gather together. That's what happened with SARS—I think the loss is calculated at around $50 billion, and that only affected a few East Asian areas and Toronto. I think Singapore has calculated it took a $20 billion hit. Hong Kong, similar. The calculated loss of a severe flu pandemic is $300 billion, something like that. I mean, it's a lot of money.
MJ: America's most popular cable reality show right now is called "Duck Dynasty," which involves a bunch of duck hunters. Should hunters, and people who raise ducks, be worried about influenza?
PD: I don't think so. These species crossovers are pretty rare—but they do happen. We had a H3N2 virus last year coming across from pigs to humans at agricultural fairs. It was only people who were getting very friendly with pigs, you know, they were going up close to the pigs and saying, "How are you, pig?" sort of thing.
MJ: So don't kiss your pig!
"There's a picture of a kid kissing a pig that all the flu guys show. Yeah, don't kiss your pig and don't get too friendly with a pig."
PD: There's a picture of a kid kissing a pig that all the flu guys show! Yeah, don't kiss your pig and don't get too friendly with a pig. Keep your distance. But the H3N2 didn't go between humans. It only went pig to human.
MJ: Does cooking an infected bird kill off the virus?
PD: Absolutely. It doesn't take much to kill flu. It's pretty labile. But it survives well in water. I don't know any case where anyone caught flu by water, though. As far as we all know, flu only spreads by respiratory routes, by hand and nose. My Pandemics book argues that one of the best things you can do in any situation is to wash your hands and not touch your hand to your face. We all touch our hands to our face an enormous amount and we don't realize it.
MJ: Backyard chickens are a huge trend in the United States. Are they vulnerable?
PD: They could be, but it's unlikely. There are chicken flu viruses that sometimes mutate, and single amino acid change can cause a completely nonvirulent flu virus to be terribly lethal. You get these outbreaks occasionally in chicken houses, but not one of them has ever jumped across into humans.
MJ: What are some scary viruses most of us won't have heard of?
PD: Well, the scariest in terms of the horrible-ness of the disease are the hemorrhagic fever viruses, and there are a lot of them in South America. There's the bat viruses hendra and nipah viruses in southeast Asia. There's a whole lot of really horrible, scary viruses, and some authors make a lot of this because they're writing for dramatic effect. But until those viruses change to spread readily by respiratory infection, or maybe by gastrointestinal tract like the noroviruses, they're not really a big concern.
MJ: Could we handle something like the 1918 virus?
PD: We're incredibly better at monitoring it and reacting quickly. There's a great global network of influenza centers, and the technology is infinitely better. A lot of people in 1918 probably died from secondary bacterial infections. We've got antibiotics to deal with bacteria, and so we'd do better there. Also, it looks as though we'll be able to make a lot of flu vaccine very fast. At the moment, it takes us at least six months to get much out there.
MJ: What's changed?
PD: They've got some of it working now in recombinant DNA technology, which means we can grow the proteins in bacteria—which means you can use every fermenter on the planet. At the moment we're growing them in hens eggs. That's really limiting because there's a limited number of facilities. Our armamentarium is improving very fast. You know there's always a chance of some weird virus that comes in from nowhere, like the one in Contagion. But so far, no.
MJ: Speaking of that, what's the best pandemic movie you've ever seen?
PD: Contagion, by far. It got a couple of things a bit wrong, but the director was Steven Soderbergh, and he's a serious guy, evidently. He took a lot of notice of Ian Lipkin, who was the scientific advisor. On the whole, the science was great. There were various elements of dramatic effect—they seem to have three people working on this thing that's killing half the world!
MJ: So, I gather ferrets are used in the lab to model flu transmissibility in humans…
PD: The first human flu virus was isolated in ferrets! It was in London in 1933, I think. Some people there were working with ferrets and they bred a lot more than they wanted and they said, "Oh, does anyone want these ferrets?" And so the flu guys said, "Oh, okay, we'll try it," and they dropped some flu down the ferrets' noses and they got the flu! And not only that, the ferrets infected one of the young investigators. The guys who discovered the virus were all knighted—they were all made "sir."
"We published the sequence of the resurrected 1918 virus with very little controversy… and it's a deadly virus—anyone could've rebuilt that virus."
MJ: Research teams in Wisconsin and the Netherlands recently engineered an unusually deadly bird flu virus that could spread among ferrets, and so presumably humans.
PD: We've been doing that sort of infection in virus labs for about a hundred years. I think it was seized on for some reason. These people were working under extraordinary security conditions, they were actually top-level people. They've tightened the security regulations, but the real concern is not these guys doing it—the real concern is a bunch of cowboys doing it in some other country, without any control. This is not rocket science. Anyone with a basic training in molecular virology can do these experiments. People can do it in their garage if they were sophisticated and they had a bit of money.
MJ: Are there some results you think shouldn't be published?
PD: They ended up publishing them after a lot of controversy and discussion. The papers are in Science and Nature. But we published the sequence of the resurrected 1918 virus with very little controversy around 2000, I think it was. Nobody made much fuss and it's a deadly virus—anyone could've rebuilt that virus.
MJ: And that doesn't worry you?
PD: There's nothing you can do about it really. Do you want to keep it secret? Can you keep it secret? I'm not sure you can.
MJ: You could limit it to professional flu researchers.
PD: It wouldn't stay tight. Do you know anything that stays secret in the US? The reason I never believed conspiracy theories in the United States is because nobody can shut up!
MJ: Some of your own countrymen, in Canberra, inadvertently created a killer mouse pox virus a while back, and then alerted the world about it.
PD: Yeah, it was an odd experiment where they put one of the cytokine genes into the mouse pox and it became extremely virulent. Look, if I was Saddam Hussein and I really wanted to make a virulent flu virus, I would take a recently drawn flu virus, I would passage it through groups of 20 prisoners, I'd take the virus from the ones who were dying, and I would passage it through more. Anyone could do this. It's a snip, really. You just have to be unscrupulous enough.
MJ: Are you worried about bioterrorism?
"Microorganisms as weapons of war are extremely poor weapons. They're very untargeted, for a start, and not very efficient to deliver."
PD: I just think it's such a lousy weapon. The best bioterror weapon is probably anthrax. We saw how effective it is: It didn't kill very many people, but it created enormous fear and enormous disruption. But microorganisms as weapons of war are extremely poor weapons. They're very untargeted, for a start, and not very efficient to deliver.
MJ: So you seem pretty upbeat about our being able to handle a pandemic.
PD: We should be very careful about cutting public health monitoring and services. We should protect organizations like CDC and public health offices, and that part of the World Health Organization that deals with pandemics. There could be a lot more money put in to things like developing new antibiotics against tuberculosis and drug-resistant bacteria. I think I read something that 20,000 to 30,000 people died last year in the United States from drug-resistant bacteria. But I don't think we should walk around in fear that some terrible pandemic is going to kill us all off. When the plague was circulating in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries, it would kill a half to a third of the population of cities. We've never seen anything like that. It did have some important effects, but it certainly didn't kill off humanity.

Tyler Kaneshiro
Tyler Kaneshiro is a trumpeter, composer, and teacher who has performed in major venues throughout North America, Italy, Finland, Russia, and Estonia. Kaneshiro grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area where he first started playing the trumpet at the age of 9. When he was in middle school he met his first music mentor, Brian Switzer. Playing under the direction of Switzer inspired Kaneshiro to pursue jazz early in his music education. Kaneshiro immediately immersed himself in the art and has followed his passion ever since.
In the Fall of 2008, Kaneshiro was given the opportunity to pursue his dream of playing jazz in the heart of Greenwich Village at New York University. His studies were accelerated under the direction of Ralph Alessi, Laurie Frink, Stefon Harris, and Giovanni Falzone among others.
Kaneshiro has had the honor of sharing the stage and opening for such musicians as Bob Mintzer, Dave Pietro, Ralph Alessi, Brian Lynch, Marvin Stamm, Bill Mays, Ingrid Jensen, Roscoe Mitchell, CDZA, Macklemore, Snoop Dogg, Sinkane and has performed at several venues such as The Blue Note in New York, The Highline Ballroom in New York, The Jazz Gallery in New York, The Blue Note in Milan, The Jazz Showcase in Chicago, Mass MoCA, YouTube Brandcast in New York, Google Conference in Las Vegas, Catalina's Jazz Club in Los Angeles, SFJAZZ Center, San Jose Jazz Festival, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Rochester International Jazz Festival among others.
Kaneshiro is excited to have been selected as a member of the Stanford Jazz Workshop's 2018-2019 Jazz Mentor Fellowship Program. He will be performing and educating with an elite group of young musicians.
Kaneshiro will be featured in Dr. Thomas R. Erdmann's upcoming book, How Jazz Trumpeters Play Music Today: Twelve Interviews on Technique, Style and Aesthetic. The book is a collection of interviews of trumpeters that reflect on the state of jazz and music in today's world.


It is now understood that Triple Negative breast cancer has many biologic nuances and a heterogeneity not previously understood. The aim of this project is to further characterise the role of HIF-1 in Triple Negative breast cancer and its response to inhibition and to assess its potential as a predictive biomarker of treatment response. Low-oxygen (hypoxia) is a common feature of breast tumours that promotes aggressive disease outcomes and poor patient survival. Hypoxia is "sensed" in cells by a protein HIF-1 and its accumulation in oxygen-deprived cancer cells promotes the growth of new tumour blood vessels and causes cancer cells to become invasive and resistant to anticancer therapy.

NATO sensors panel, target recognition workshop coming to Wright State University
By Wright State Media Team
news@wright.edu, (937) 775-3345
((Contributed by Tim Gaffney))
An international NATO technology panel and a regional sensors workshop are expected to draw more than 100 researchers, professors and students to Wright State University in August, organizers say.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Sensors Electronics and Technology Panel will bring an international slate of speakers to the Berry Rooms of Wright State's Nutter Center on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 8-9, addressing military technology issues important to America and its NATO allies.
Following it on Wednesday, Aug. 10, in the same location will be the Automatic Target Recognition Center's Summer Workshop.
The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is the U.S. host of the NATO event, says Steven Scarborough, an AFRL radar researcher and enrollment coordinator for the event. Lecturers from AFRL, the United Kingdom and Germany are scheduled.
The Automatic Target Recognition Center (ATR) is a partnership between AFRL and the university's Wright State Research Institute. The summer workshop will review the ATR Center's research activities and explore the next steps forward, according to Brian Rigling, Ph.D., director of sensor systems for the Wright State Research Institute and associate professor of electrical engineering. Rigling is one of the workshop's organizers.
This will be the first time the NATO panel has been held in the Dayton area, Scarborough says. Besides sharing knowledge among experts, the panel will give university students a chance to learn from the top minds in the sensors field.
"We want to get students interested in defense-related technologies, and this is a good way to do it," Scarborough says.
Scheduling two sensors-related events back to back also should draw a larger attendance than either event would on its own, he says.
The ATR Center's mission is to accelerate the development of ATR technology by funding and leveraging university research. Holding its annual workshop in conjunction with the NATO panel will help expose its work to international experts, Rigling says.
Registration for each event is available online at http://www.rta.nato.int/Meetings.aspx for the NATO event and http://www.cs.wright.edu/atr/ for the ATR Center workshop.

Become expert by engaging in internships and on-the-job trainings from green interior design companies for both residential and business structures. There are numerous interior design supplies that are each eco-pleasant and trendy. The supplies used are eco-friendly. They have green conferences that function professional green designers and eco-friendly builders. These provide innovative approaches how you should use eco-friendly materials in furnishings selection, non-toxic paint listings, and store listings of one-stop location. These years are crammed with learning about various disciplines like minimal architecture specializing in space planning, product design for furnishings and fixtures, and aesthetics for decoration. With good processing, wood ceiling can be a phenomenal and exotic decoration if the picket horse exposed has completed properly. For this kind, the space beneath the ceiling appears to be like more spacious. With this type, ceiling cowl is positioned between the uncovered frame and roof by bolted to the roof body and neatly finished.
This ceiling kind has hanging frame or attach the lid material. On the whole there are three basic types of ceiling. There ought to even be a consideration for environmental psychology. There are a number of ceiling covering supplies corresponding to bamboo, wooden, gypsum, glass and glass fibre reinforced cement (GRC). Ceiling shape is basically influenced by a number of components such because the concept of building design, space interior, ceiling supplies to be used, the elevation of ceiling top and size of house that might be shaded by ceiling. Playing with ceiling shape which aligned with the idea of constructing design will create the impression of space which is not monotonous. Dome ceiling provides accent for curved ceiling with murals. It truly gives you new-fangled aptitude, booth style breakfast nook making you a novel earth-loving designer. A green designer might use furnishings made from pure materials. The profession outlook for a inexperienced inside designer is nice. Numerous interior design features make what a constructing is. Building a construction is not full with out caring for its final look.
One who aspires to shift designing measures must firstly apply personal care for the environment. Designing inexperienced doesn't compromise fashion. However, green interior designing is way keener in details as it entails specified furniture and fixtures, wall paint and paper, door and window remedies and other space features, complete with your complete finishes and textures. Fortunately, a number of interior design schools immediately have already incorporated a inexperienced curriculum with prioritization of green ideas, renewable resources usage, edu/caa/programs/interior-design and others. Traditional interior design schools provide such training from two to four years. Transitioning from the standard interior design to a greener one is a simple process. One may integrate space planning with the nature of the situation's surroundings. Fabric ceiling can strengthen the space ambiance within the home for example to get a warm environment. This material can be used when your house space is just too high so the space environment becomes more snug. Currently, natural material furnishings, power-saving and cost-effective appliances, non-toxic paint and different green merchandise are literally extra elegant wanting.
Recommend lamps that use energy-saving bulbs. However, if your ceiling is high, you should use a dark shade so your ceiling will appear decrease. You can choose the same colour as the wall colour. You should use teak or resin wooden. Glass ceiling can enter light and heat in a number of very large so it will probably cut back artificial lighting. Therefore, if your ceiling is low, it is best to use bright colors so it didn't feel cramped. Wood which used for ceiling has to free of termites so it not simply porous and has been roasted properly so it not simply broaden or shrink when exposed by heat or rain. Mix salvaged wood and corrugated steel. And what makes this profession an extra interesting endeavor is the new method it presently performs the green design. Green interior design is a submit-construction step that is most likely similar to different ecological construction tasks.

Q: Calling client side URL from browser without opening new page I'm trying to create a button that will dial an IP Phone by visiting a URL string:
http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=0123456789

When entering directly into the browser, the page returns a 1 and dials the IP phone.
On my website I can create a simple  link that when clicked, visits this page in a new window.
Is there any way of visiting this page without the user seeing that it opens?

A: Sure you can use an AJAX call:
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) {
    var response = xmlhttp.responseText; //if you need to do something with the returned value
  }
}

xmlhttp.open("GET","http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=0123456789",true);
xmlhttp.send();

jQuery makes this even easier:
$.get("http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=0123456789")

Edit: since you are traveling across domains and can't use CORS, you can open the link using javascript and them immediately close the window. Example below:
document.getElementById("target").onclick = function(e) {
    var wnd = window.open("http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=0123456789");
    wnd.close();
    e.preventDefault();
};

A: You would use an XMLHttpRequest
function dialResponse() {
 console.log(this.responseText);//should be return value of 1
}

var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
oReq.onload = dialResponse;
oReq.open("get", "http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=0123456789", true);
oReq.send();

This will be semi-hidden. However, it is still issued client side so they will see it occur in the network record. If you want this to be truly hidden, you would have to do it server side.

A: This javascript will call it in the background without displaying anything:
<script src="javascript">
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.open("GET", "http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=0123456789", true);
xhttp.send();
<script>

Sure, it will be still visible in the console if you analyze the site. You could use a server-side script like PHP if you want to call it without trace like:
<?php
$response=file_get_contents("http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&Command=1&Number=0123456789");

Camping for some tourists brings feelings of adventure. Camping which is combined with spending time with friends and cooking on the camp fire can surely be some of your keenest memories you will have in Bali. Camping constitutes, at its soul, appreciation of nature at its most basic level. Fortunately, Bali and Indonesia are similar. They have some really loose camping laws and you can put your tents up pretty much anywhere without too much disputes. You just need to erect them away from the major villages and roads and no one will come to bother you. Certainly, some camp sites are better than others so that here top places in Bali to camp are discussed.
Nyang Nyang is a favourite place for people who look to escape from the crowds and enjoy the serenity. It is a popular fact that not many people attempt to Nyang Nyang due to the entrance that requires a 20 minute walk down via the cliff side trail. With this hike in as prevention, Nyang Nyang becomes the perfect place to camp and you will find that you have the whole beach to yourself. There are a lot of wood around so that you can make a great camp fire and there is a huge field back from the beach. When the tide is high it is a good idea to camp away from the beach because the water covers almost all the sand and you will get wet easily. It is necessary for you to bring all your supplies because this beach is quite remote and there is no water or food for sale.
As a matter of fact, this secret, little known site is a gem in its own right and if you would like a cliff top camping experience, then this is the setting for you. It also constitutes one of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset. Thus, with these 2 things combined, it surely makes a great off the beaten trail experience. When darkness of night falls, you can watch the planes fly in from over the ocean and there are a lot of woods about to make a fire of just about any size. Among all the camping sites in Bali, this is one of the most special due to its undiscovered nature and being so near to the major tourist areas.
Bukit Asah which is located in Karangasem regency is cliff side camping at its finest. It is one of the main camping sites in Bali and also one of the easiest ones to access because the road goes right up to the spot. From this site you will have amazing views over to Nusa Penida island and the small islands out at sea. This is also one of the best camp sites in Bali. In this site, firewood can easily be found. Food as well as drinks are just down the road in the village nearby. The campsite is green during rainy season but in the dry season it is just dead straw and dirt but it is still a great place to camp.
"Desa Pinggan" or Pinggan village is situated just across from the well-known "Gunung Batur" and has some of the most wonderful atmosphere on the island. Arguably the sceneries from here are as good as from Batur. The campsite is situated on a nice grassy area and with amazing views to Batur, Agung, Abang and Rinjani Mountains. It is one of the special places on the island where you can see all these well-known volcanoes. There is a little of a hike to get to the camping site but just ask the local people and they will show you in the right direction. The sunrise from here is one of the best so that make sure you set your alarm earlier and you will be treated to an amazing show of the magnificent sunrise. The small village nearby provides food and other things that you may need.
The camping site in Buyan Lake is situated to the southern side and away from the busy and noisy "Bedugul". The camping ground has fascinating early morning views over to the hills that surround the lake. On a clear and moonless night, the stars here are really bright and it is one of the best places in Bali to witness the stars due to the lack of light pollution. Please remember that the weather here can get cold. Bedugul has been known for a long time as one of the coldest places throughout Bali and because of that, it is a good idea to pack a good sleeping bag. The camping area here is very green because a lot of rain falls and it is a good idea to make a fire in the cold air. Bedugul has all the supplies you need so that you just stock up before you go.
Nusa Penida island is one of the hidden secrets of Bali province. It is located just an hour boat ride away, but still part of Bali province. Nusa Penida is a real escape from the crowd and a place where you can relax and have the beaches all to yourself. One of the best beaches in Nusa Penida is "Atuh" beach, which is located near Pejukutan village. This beach is situated in a small hamlet which looks out over the rocky bay. It is an excellent place to set camp up and make a fire on the beach. Supplies are available at the village nearby and there are tour operators who offer camping tours so that you may have to share the beach.
Gunung Batukaru is the second highest mountain in Bali. It has an excellent campsite in its own right. The campsite is located on the very summit of the volcano and has stunning views. There are some trees surrounding the site so there will be some protection from the wind at night. The summit height is more than 2,200 meters so please be ready for some cold temperatures and be prepared for that as well. Please remember to bring all water with you and a good headlamp, too. In the morning you will be treated to witness a beautiful sunrise. You will also be able to see over to Agung mountain, the highest in Bali, and even to Raung mountain in Java.
"Gunung Abang" or Mount Abang is one of the easiest ones to climb on the whole Bali island. If you are fast enough you can get to the peak of it in just 90 minutes. The peak of the mountain is home to a holy temple. However, there is enough space up there for about 5 tents. The sceneries are semi obstructed by the trees from here but you still really have wonderful views and even the climb up along the ridge is one that you will not forget in a hurry.
If you are one of adventure seekers, photographers and nature lovers, the above camping sites will surely be your top choice.

This is a recurrent soft tissue tumor from the ankle region of a 90 year old woman.� This is the second recurrence of this mass within an 18 month period. The previous diagnoses were fibroma of tendon sheath and recurrent fibroma.� She recently underwent wide local reexcision.
Gross:� The mass was 4.5 cm, well-demarcated, white-tan and firm, without areas of necrosis or hemorrhage.
Micro:� The tumor is composed of cord-like clusters of ovoid to slightly rounded cells with scant faintly eosinophilic cytoplasm, hyperchromatic nuclei and minimal pleomorphism.� Tumor cells are surrounded by a dense collagenous stroma.� No mitotic figures are present in this field.
In 1995, Meis-Kindblom and colleagues from the AFIP reported an uncommon, peculiar sclerosing epithelioid variant of fibrosarcoma that simulated an infiltrating carcinoma (AJSP 1995;19:979).� These tumors occurred primarily in the deep musculature, most often of the lower extremities and limb girdles and trunk, and were frequently associated with adjacent fascia or bony periosteum.� Median patient age was 45 years, with a wide age range (14-87 years), and no definite gender preference.� Tumors were large, with a median size of 7 cm, gray-white and firm.� The lesions were characterized by a proliferation of uniform nests and cords of small, round/oval epithelioid cells with scant, often clear cytoplasm.� All cases had prominent hyaline sclerosis.� Occasional features were osteoid, cartilage, myxoid zones with cyst formation, or foci of classic fibrosarcoma.� There were no/rare mitotic figures.� The tumor cells were immunoreactive for vimentin, p53 and bcl2 in almost all cases, often stained with EMA, and occasionally stained with S100, NSE, AE1/AE3 and CAM 5.2.� They were negative for LCA (CD45), CD68, HMB45, desmin and alpha smooth muscle actin.� Proliferative activity, as measured by Ki-67, was low (5% or less).� Ultrastructurally, the tumor cells had features of fibroblasts.� With a median follow up of 11 years, there were local recurrences in 53% and metastases in 43% to lung, skeleton, chest wall/pleura, pericardium and brain.� Death due to disease occurred in 25%.
These findings were confirmed in 1991 by Antonescu and colleagues from Memorial Sloan-Kettering, who also reported bone invasion and tumor necrosis (AJSP 2001;25:699).� They found local recurrence in 50%, but distant metastases in 86%, with death due to disease in 57%.� Thus, although this tumor has a relatively bland appearance, it behaves as a fully malignant sarcoma.
The differential diagnosis of sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma includes other fibrosing-type fibrosarcomas, namely low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma and hyalinizing spindle cell tumor with giant rosettes.� Other entities to consider are monophasic synovial sarcoma, epithelioid sarcoma, epithelioid leiomyosarcoma, epithelioid MPNST, melanoma, carcinoma and fibroma of tendon sheath.� Low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma typically has a monotonous hypocellularity, with alternating myxoid and collagenous stroma, sometimes blending with areas of increased cellularity.� Hyalinizing spindle cell tumor with giant rosettes has distinct hypercellular regions in which tumor cells are arranged as palisading granulomas with giant rosettes.� Both have only small foci of epithelioid cells.� Monophasic synovial sarcoma may resemble the hypercellular areas of sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, but lacks large areas of sclerotic collagen, as do the other epithelioid tumors.� Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma may resemble fibroma of tendon sheath or a benign lesion if the cellular areas are not biopsied or are overlooked.
