This week, Nintendo's Patents Reveal Details, and Infinite Switch News.
Nintendo Patent Hints at Mini SNES
A bot on Twitter discovered a patent for a Super Nintendo style controller, placed by Nintendo. While the patent could mean a lot of different things, such as a controller adjustment for the Switch or Nintendo just covering their bases, many fans are speculating that this signifies the existence of an SNES Classic Edition. Reportedly, the NES Classic Edition sold relatively well, so it might be in Nintendo's best interest to release its sequel. Fans can only hope that they'll actually stock their adorable system this time.
Nintendo Details Further Plans for Their Mobile Games
In an interview with Kyoto NP, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kashima revealed some of their plans for releasing mobile games in the near future. Apparently, Nintendo is planning to release two to three mobile games every year, which fits with their releases for 2016, those being Super Mario Run, Mitomo, and Pokémon Go, their first three mobile games. It seems that an Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem game, both releasing in 2017, will be two of their next. Perhaps the third, if there is to be a third, would be a sequel to one of the original three, although a Zelda game on mobile comes packed with potential.
Eternal Darkness Trademark Renewed by Nintendo
Those who adore Eternal Darkness' psychologically damaging brand of terror will be happy to know that Nintendo is showing interest in the franchise once again.
Nintendo has renewed its trademark, possibly hinting at a remake, port, or an entirely new game for Switch. In the same vein as Mother 3, many fans have been waiting for the game to receive some extra attention. This could possibly bring a different crowd of players to the Switch. Of course, the more the merrier, especially in terms of players not regularly found playing Nintendo's consoles.

Breath of the Wild Leaked as Releasing in Spring 2017
A picture from the next issue of Corocoro magazine has leaked, revealing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as a Spring 2017 release. This leak is lent extra credence by the many previous Corocoro leaks that turned out to be correct.
The leaked photo in question…
Famed leakers Laura Kate Dale and Emily Rogers also backed this up, detailing it even further. They both stated that fans should expect BotW in March, at least in North America. As we all know, the Switch is officially releasing in March, so this new open-world Zelda is almost undoubtedly a launch title for the console (if these rumours are to be believed, which they probably should be).

Switch May Not Be Powerful Enough to Receive Ports of Current Generation Games
The former Lead Renderer at Ubisoft, Sebastian Aaltonen, has detailed the Switch's specs further, revealing some unfortunate conclusions. Reportedly, the Switch hardly matches the specs of the Xbox One, meaning that easy ports are seemingly impossible. "But I am talking about the POV of down porting current gen games to Switch," Aaltonen wrote, "Switch certainly fares well against last gen consoles, and Maxwell's tiled rasterizer would certainly help older pixel + vertex shader based renderers. Too bad last gen consoles already got their last big AAA releases year [sic] ago. Easy ports between Xbox 360 and Switch are not available anymore. Xbox One is a significantly faster hardware. Straightforward code port is not possible."
This is an exceedingly disheartening release, considering that it foreshadows a similar circumstance to the Wii U's, which was plagued by a lack of third party support due to its confusing hardware. Hopefully, the Switch can gather a big enough following to make this difficult development cycle worth the effort.

Switch to See Many Games Running on the Unreal Engine
Takayuki Kawasaki, Territory Manager for Epic Games Japan, has come out with details on some of the games coming to Switch, specifically those that utilize the Unreal engine. He first reconfirmed that the Switch is capable of running the engine, then specified that many of the games that use the engine will be coming to the system.
'Seasons of Heaven' will be one of the first Switch exclusives to use Unreal Engine.
Unreal being one of the most used engines, this is near vital for Nintendo. The Final Fantasy VII remake, Kingdom Hearts III, and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite are just of a few of the huge, upcoming releases utilizing it. Nintendo, and the Switch by transference, can only gain by heavily supporting this engine.

Nintendo Was Shown the Most Online Interest Out of the Big Three in 2016
According to SimilarWeb, things relating to Nintendo were searched three times more than those relating to Microsoft or even Playstation in 2016. This only includes these companies' console products, so characters or peripherals didn't count toward these results. The graph below shows a steep rise in September that continues after October and November.
An extremely steep rise in September.
The Pokémon Go Plus accessory was released in September, the Switch was revealed in October, and Sun and Moon were released in November, so a rise is to be expected. But to actually be shown interest three times more than the other companies is rare for Nintendo these days and certainly bodes well for their upcoming console.
Switch to Have Non-Removable Battery
According to a filing by the FCC, the Switch's battery will unremovable. This is dissimilar to the Wii U, whose battery was upgradable using an official extension released by Nintendo. The Switch will be unable to even upgrade, according to this filing, meaning that we're stuck with whatever battery life it's released with. The FCC reviewed a console meant to replicate the final product, however, so it's entirely possible that Nintendo will tweak the system to have a removable battery before launch.
The official Wii U High-Capacity Battery.
Unfortunately, considering the Switch's portability-focused design, a battery upgrade is unlikely. This would defeat the purpose of the Switch by making it heavier and possibly giving it protruding, unkempt wires. Here's hoping that it is released with a worthwhile battery to begin with. All will be revealed at the Switch event on January twelfth. Much of Nintendo's future is riding on the Switch, so let's hope that the console can reach its full potential.

I have two arguments mentioned in the org.codehaus plugin.
running the below command with argument1 disabled works fine.
mvn org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.4.0:exec@runcommand

But when I run the command with both are arguments enabled gives me an error

How to pass parameters to one goal from command line while running multiple goals?

A: You want to execute multiple commands, so you want to have multiple executions of the plugin:
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.0</version>
    <executions>
        <!-- First execution executing jmeter-maven-plugin -->
        <execution>
            <id>runcommand1</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase> <!-- you need to write a phase here --> </phase>
            <configuration>
                <arguments>
                    <argument>com.lazerycode.jmeter:jmeter-maven-plugin:1.4.1:jmeter@jmeter-tests -Dmyhost=hix.qa.com -Dmyport=80 -Dmyprotocol=http -Dmythreads=5 -Dmyloopcount=20 -Dmyrampup=1 -Dmytest=ScreenerAPI.jmx</argument>
                </arguments>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
        <!-- Second execution executing jmeter-graph-maven-plugin -->
        <execution>
            <id>runcommand2</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase> <!-- you need to write a phase here --> </phase>
            <configuration>
                <arguments>
                    <argument>de.codecentric:jmeter-graph-maven-plugin:0.1.0:create-graph@create-graphs</argument>
                </arguments>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <executable>mvn</executable>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

This configuration does multiple things:

*

*It configures 2 executions for the 2 commands you want to invoke. They are both configured with the correct <argument> attribute.

*It factors out the common configuration of those two inside the global configuration element. In this case, this is simply the executable.

There's an important factor though: those executions need to be bound to a phase if you want to execute both of them in a single build. As as example, if you bind them to verify then invoking mvn verify will invoke the two executions.

Plans to use renewable energy sources to electrify Welsh train lines have won a grant from the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB), one of six rail decarbonisation projects to have won the funding.
The 'Green Valley Lines' scheme to decarbonise the South Wales railway has won a £1m rail industry research competition, paving the way for a new study exploring the potential to optimise traction energy use on passenger networks using renewable electricity.
The initiative, led by the climate charity 10:10, will develop the plans for the South Wales Metro, integrating storage technologies and direct supply of renewable electricity at the design stage of electrification works.
This is one of six feasibility studies funded by the RSSB competition to develop alternative energy-efficient technologies for high-speed trains and freight trains and new solutions for providing, distributing and storing energy.
The schemes are part of the DfT's commitment to remove diesel-only trains from the UK railway by 2040, and the successful projects are expected to publish their findings in mid-2020.
The RSSB said electrification will have a key role to play, particularly in the heavy used parts of the network, but that other self-powered traction sources such as battery and hydrogen will also have a key role in achieving a decarbonised railway.
The other projects include dual fuel locomotives to decarbonise freight operations, decarbonising high-speed bi-mode railway vehicles through optimal power control and future hydrail-enabled railway depots.
The Green Valley Lines project is being led the Riding Sunbeams team in collaboration with Transport for Wales, Network Rail and Energy Saving Trust Wales, and has been awarded a £110,000 grant.
10:10's director of innovation, Leo Murray, said: "This exciting study is a golden opportunity to work out how to use new technologies to bring together Welsh leadership on rail electrification and community owned renewables.

Taylor Swift's Cat Meredith Grey Owes Her 40 Million Dollars Now!
Taylor Swift has two adorable kitties living in her apartment. Meredith Grey was the first and Olivia Benson was the second. They have been in many adventures with the 25 year-old multi-millionaire. Street walks with a hundred paparazzi flashing cameras, commercials and 1989 Secret Sessions-they have been through a lot of human experiences.
They are cats, and they show it time to time. Taylor Swift has had quite a few accidents with her cats before-mainly in the lines of scratches. But this time, it's the biggest scratch ever. And what's more? This happens just after Taylor Swift insured her legs for 40 million US dollars. So, legally, Meredith Grey owes Taylor a big chunk of cash.
Meredith Grey Got Sassy and Scratched Taylor Swift without Thinking of the Consequences
https://instagram.com/p/0Oe1AojvMS
But I'm sure everything is just fine in the Swift family. Who can stay mad at Meredith Grey?
Taylor Swift Insures Her Legs for $40 Million!
Taylor Swift recently took extreme measures to insure her legs–$40 million worth of effort. This may seem a bit extravagant, but it's actually not. Most part of Taylor's revenue is generated through her concerts and tours around the world. Should something happen to her legs (not even gonna think about it!), she will not be able to perform on stages and will lose possible future monetary gains. And potential loss of monetary benefits can be insured. And thus the leg insurance.
Are you overwhelmed by this? Don't worry, so is Taylor Swift. Sources say that even Taylor is a bit 'embarrassed' by this move. But it was all for a sound future plan. Taylor Swift the Businesswoman strikes again.
After all, who wouldn't wanna protect these magnificent legs?
Got anything to say? Leave a comment.

As a water company, how do you influence your customers' consumption?
By challenging primary schools and neighbourhoods to a water battle!
The objective of Wijk & Water Battle is to provide participants with an insight into their water and energy consumption, and ultimately to bring about change. The pilot was launched in the autumn of 2015. Children from two primary schools in different neighbourhoods of Leeuwarden took part in a "battle" with local residents for three months, and the residents ended up spreading their usage more evenly through the day.
In the game, whimsical water creatures live in Leeuwarden's water network. Their tiny homes flood regularly because of the inhabitants' intensive consumption. The schoolchildren join forces with the residents to help the creatures and learn more about water and energy. The residents help the children by spreading their usage over the day, and measure this with a smart meter and an app. As they change their behaviour, the creatures are faced with less flooding.
In 2015 the Vitens Water Battle received a special mention among the nominees for the Aquatech Innovation Award. And on the 27th of September 2016 we received the national award for Best Serious Game for the Wijk & Water Battle. Watch the video clip of Tim explaining the essence of the game in one minute and forty-two seconds! More about Wijk & Water Battle at www.wijkenwaterbattle.nl.


The Finnish manufacturer Nokia brings on the market the interesting "Save your ideas in a pen" solution. We present to your attention the Nokia SU-27W Digital Pen, which comes 5 years after the first model - SU-1B, developing the concept of digital writing. The manufacturer has improved the memory and the battery time, coming up with a design very similar to a regular pen. Even though Nokia offers such type of accessory, the product is a rebrand model of Logitech's io™2 Digital Pen.
The device targets the people who want to save their notes on paper and digitally at the same time, without losing time in copying.
You have to remember, that the pen recognizes only notes written on digital paper.
At first, the device is not much different in style than a big stylish business pen – its weight - 1.32 oz. (37.5 g) and dimensions of 6.18 x 0.94 x 0.82 inches (157 x 24 x 21 mm), are a bit bigger, but still acceptable. It is entirely made of red quality plastic, pleasant to the touch. Removing the cap, we see, that the lower part is rubber coated for better grip, and it is skewed, where the nib is because of the IR (Infra Red) beam sensor, which records what has been written in the Pen memory. The battery and the page indicators are hidden behind a shiny strip in the upper part. On the other side of the rubber-coated part is located at the connector/charger module and over it is the reset button.
The cap and the pen holder are also black and are made of the material used to make the entire device, so they fit the design. In the middle there is a belt/neck/pocket clip, in the center area of which there is a small opening so you can refill.
Writing with the digital pen is pleasant and easy, as using a regular one, just take off the cap. The device fits very well in the palm of a hand and thanks to the rubber-coated part it doesn't slip.


This week was a little different from usual. The S4-6 pupils were on study leave for their prelims which meant I didn't have my N5 classes or my Advanced Higher class. It did mean though that I had a large pile of prelims to mark. Marking prelims can often be frustrating as you see pupils making so many mistakes (some careless and others not) and not answering questions you know they can do. It can make you feel like you haven't taught them anything over the past few months. However, there are always others which make you smile especially when you see a piece of working that you didn't expect. I also had to take an S1 class this week to cover for a colleague who was on a school trip all week.
Whilst working on a problem involving surface area, there was need to solve an equation. Many in the class struggled with this even though we had previously worked on solving equations. As it is such an important skill I decided to pause from our work on volume and surface area and spend a few periods working on equations. After some example problem pairs completed using mini whiteboards, we played the Shape game. This is a game I have played before with a smaller class (you can read about it here under the title Game of the Week). I was unsure how it would work with 24 pupils.
In order to write their group number in a shape the pupils had to correctly answer all the questions on the card. If they were incorrect I looked at their working and gave a suggestion on how they might correct it. The surprise was how quiet and focussed the class were while working on their questions. They were supporting each other, checking solutions and genuinely working together. Why was this so surprising? Most of the time when I organise group work I spend more time on behaviour issues than helping with maths. It was wonderful to see a whole class fully engaged with the work.
I remember making this for a class who had struggled with fractions of a quantity and did not have great number skills. I am now thinking about how I can adapt this to use with future classes.
Covering an S1 class for my colleague this week gave me the opportunity to use the angle worksheets I created last year. I spent a lot of time structuring thequestions to allow for variation of questions. It reminded me that it is worth spending time on making a resource that you like as it can be used again.

Works goes underway on central operational services depot
Added by Love Business East Midlands | 16 December 2020
Work has started on site at the exciting new central depot for operational services in West Lindsey, with principal contractor Henry Boot Construction Limited putting the first spade in the ground.
The £5m purpose-built facility, located near Caenby Corner, will replace West Lindsey District Council's existing sites at North Warren Road in Gainsborough and Gallamore Lane Industrial Estate in Market Rasen and secure the future of operational services in the district.
The site has been designed with everyday operations and visitors in mind. It includes a parking area for fleet, storage buildings, wash facilities, visitor parking and main operations building, which has been positioned to offer a visual landmark from the A631.
The contemporary two-storey building therefore has feature brick, insulated aluminium panels and glazing in keeping with the surrounding buildings. It also features PV solar panels on the roof of the building.
Leader of West Lindsey District Council, Councillor Owen Bierley, said:
"We're delighted to see work get underway at the new depot. This is a huge scheme for us - having one central facility will not only enable the current vital operational services to be carried out in a safe and efficient way but will also future proof the expanding district following the build of new homes in the coming years.
"The current depot facilities opened in the 1970's and are no longer fit for purpose. We are investing in the service area to ensure that our vitally important operational services continue to be delivered."
The new facility was given the green light in April via a virtual planning committee meeting and given unanimous cross-party support.
Ady Selby, Assistant Director of Operational and Commercial Services, said:
"The primary aim of the depot is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our staff, as well as delivering a top-quality facility that can accommodate any waste, cleansing or recycling service needs for the next 50 years."
Cllr Jeff Summers, ward member for Waddingham and Spital, added:
"I'm really pleased to see work starting on the new operational services depot as this modern, centrally positioned facility will finally meet the Health and Safety needs of our very important staff and contribute to the operational efficiencies we need to achieve whilst taking this service forward.
"This project, along with the council's investment portfolio, crematorium, hotel in Gainsborough, a nil cost to the council leisure service, and a leisure facility for Market Rasen are all projects incubated during my six years as the Council Leader. A council achievement I am extremely proud of. The proposed plans are very impressive and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished building next year."
"We are delighted to start work on the new services depot at Caenby Corner for West Lindsey District Council. We are working closely with Whittam Cox Architects, Waterman Group and with our dedicated supply chain to deliver a high-quality modern facility that will provide a vital service for the district." said Ian Gresser, operations manager at Henry Boot Construction.
The facility is due to be completed in autumn 2021.

Home Investor Relations Taylor Teen Becomes First Patient in Michigan to Benefit From 3D Printed Heart Model to Treat Life-Threatening Aneurysm
Taylor Teen Becomes First Patient in Michigan to Benefit From 3D Printed Heart Model to Treat Life-Threatening Aneurysm
Ariana Smith, a 17-year-old Taylor teen, became the first patient at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, a part of the Detroit Medical Center (DMC), and the first in Michigan, to benefit from a revolutionary 3D printed heart model to aid heart specialists in treating a very large, complex aortic aneurysm.
In November, 2014, Ariana's mom Jacqueline Foster decided to have her four children undergo an electrocardiogram (EKG), a test that checks for problems with the electrical activity of the heart, as a precaution since one of her sons had a heart murmur.
When testing revealed Ariana, an active teen who enjoys cheerleading and volleyball, may have potential abnormalities in her aorta, she was referred to the Children's Hospital of Michigan. She received a cardiac catheterization, a procedure involving a tube that is placed in her blood vessel, so that doctors could diagnose and potentially treat her condition.
What looked to be a relatively routine procedure turned into a major turn of events when it was discovered that Ariana had a huge aortic aneurysm complicated with a tortuous aorta that has a distorted shape or path. This very dangerous condition could take Ariana's life in the future.
"We were devastated to hear this news. Ariana had no symptoms. I understand an aneurysm is considered a silent killer. We hoped and prayed that everything would turn out ok," Jacqueline says.
"Ariana's condition was extensively discussed with our pediatric cardiovascular surgeons and cardiologists in order to provide the best treatment and outcome. Surgical therapy was a high-risk operation for her age and anatomy which could lead to possible complications with her aorta," says Daisuke Kobayashi, M.D., a cardiologist on staff at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, who managed her treatment and care.
Dr. Kobayashi explains that heart specialists at the Children's Hospital of Michigan started exploring the possibility of treating Ariana using covered stents to expand the artery and block the aneurysm to prevent it from rupturing.
Children's Hospital of Michigan is one of only a few hospitals in the country participating in a research study called the COAST II trial (COarctation of the Aorta Stent Trial). Sponsored by the NuMED company, this U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved study uses stents covered with a special lining for the treatment of aortic narrowing and aneurysms. After the stent is placed in the aorta, the lining or covering becomes the blood vessel wall and blocks blood from entering the aneurysm.
The use of covered stents can treat both the obstruction and the aneurysm. However, this very delicate procedure can cause major complications if not performed well.
Due to the complexity of the procedure, a team of cardiologists on staff including Daisuke Kobayashi, M.D., Richard Humes, M.D., Thomas Forbes, M.D. and Daniel Turner, M.D. collaborated on the use of a revolutionary tool using computed tomography (CT) to generate 3D printed models of Ariana's heart.
The model was developed by Materialise, a leading provider of 3D printing software and services, based locally in Plymouth, Michigan. Through their Mimics Innovation Suite software and HeartPrint services, Materialise was able to transform Ariana's CT scan into a 3D printed, life-like replica of her aorta assisting the cardiology team in planning treatment and practicing the intervention prior to the procedure. This allowed the team of doctors to identify potential issues they might find and precisely pinpoint the placement of the stent without surprises.
"At Materialise, we strive to create a better and healthier world and are proud that our software and services were able to help the great team at the Children's Hospital of Michigan to make a positive impact on Ariana's life," said Todd Pietila, Cardiovascular Business Development Manager at Materialise. "It was a tremendous honor to support this case and we look forward to continued collaborations."
Dr. Turner says in Ariana's case, the 3D printed model was important for more than just assisting in diagnosing and visualizing the problem.
"Using the 3D printed model of Ariana's aorta, we performed a 'practice-run' or simulation in the cath lab, where we actually placed a stent into the model. This supported us in planning the procedure and seeing how the stent responded in her unique and tortuous anatomy. Then, when we performed Ariana's actual procedure, we had a good idea of how it was going to go," he says.
Normally, Ariana's case would require a surgical procedure, with higher associated risk, more discomfort, a longer hospital stay and more time missed from school. With treatment in the catheterization lab, Ariana spent just one night in the hospital and was home the next day.
"We anticipate that Ariana will not require surgery to treat this condition. Dr. Kobayashi will follow her closely in the office. Most importantly, this experience will allow us to treat future patients more safely with the aid of 3D printing technology. This is only the beginning," Dr. Turner says.
As for Ariana, after the procedure she enjoyed pancakes, left the hospital after just one day, went back to school after one week and plans to go shopping for prom.
"We are so thankful to God and all of the nurses and doctors at the Children's Hospital of Michigan. Ariana is doing great and we would not have had her treatment anywhere else," Jacqueline says.

Day At A Glance
Irish MEP describes 'harrowing conditions' of Afghan refugees in Greece
Fine Gael MEP Maria Walsh travelled to Lesbos on Thursday to hear of the plight of Afghan refugees and emergency workers trying to help them in overcrowded asylum facilities on the island. Photo: Getty Images
11/09/2021 | 13:02 PM James Cox
An Irish MEP has described as "harrowing" the conditions at a refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos housing nearly 4,000 refugees, many of them from Afghanistan.
Fine Gael MEP Maria Walsh travelled to Lesbos on Thursday to hear of the plight of Afghan refugees and emergency workers trying to help them in overcrowded asylum facilities on the island.
Speaking from the island on Thursday evening, Ms Walsh told BreakingNews.ie: "Speaking with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), based off their figures they said its just under 70 per cent, speaking with the deputy of the camp they said its about 73 per cent, but in and around that number, so far though they're not seeing reports of Afghanistan asylum seekers or refugees coming through the island in the last few weeks its more African refugees."
However, Ms Walsh said they are expecting an influx of Afghan refugees displaced by the Taliban "very soon", which will put even more pressure on the overstretched camp.
The Moria fire on the island devastated the camps in Lesbos last year, when there were closer to 13,000 refugees living there, and Ms Walsh said conditions have not improved since then.

"My first stop was to the camp to see first hand, a year after the Moria fires where the emergency accommodation was set up and was only meant to be short term and this has become a permanent structure.
"A lot of armed guards, a lot of what they call ISO boxes, but they're essentially portacabins, eight people living in each. Larger tents with no air conditioning units.
"They have divvied the camp up into different sections; vulnerable groups, those with disabilities, mothers with young children, single women and younger men and more families to the back.
"I cannot tell you how harrowing it was, there are toilets that were portaloos, often people were locked in. Today I watched people washing themselves in the open air with buckets of water.
"Refugees and asylum seekers can't leave the grounds unless they have approval to do so, usually that is for specialised medical appointments, meetings with a lawyer or mental health supports.
"It's not as if close to 4,000 people can just walk off and enjoy the day in Lesbos, that can't happen."
Ms Walsh said she was particularly concerned with the lack of education available to young children, mental health supports and protection for those who fled countries due to persecution over their sexual orientation.
"In speaking to some of the groups and families throughout the day, young children are not in full-time education, overall it was a realisation of where we are in the world in relation to refugees and asylum seekers and how much more work we need to do, it can't be just lip service.
"I came out here with a focus on seeing where we are a year on from the Moria fires and to see mental health supports on the ground and what more needs to be done, I was also looking at the LGBTQI space because there is a number of refugees, predominantly men, that are trying to find protection based off their sexual orientation but are doing it silently.
"I asked the deputy of the camp could he tell me how many LGBTQI individuals are there, and he said 'we don't have them here, they don't exist'.
"This is over 3,500 people in a very small space, statistically there would have to be."
I've just arrived in #Lesvos w/@RESCUE_EU to witness first-hand the critical humanitarian situation one year after the #Moria fires.
I'm particularly concerned about the ongoing mental health emergency there & the specific dangers faced by children.#NoMoreMorias 🇪🇺 pic.twitter.com/LqwGc0QNqK
— Maria Walsh MEP (@MariaWalshEU) September 9, 2021
She believes the European Union and its members states need to do more to help refugees and asylum seekers.
"A year on from the fires I'm scratching my head and wondering have we become so desensitized to the life of refugees and asylum seekers when it's not on our doorstep.
"There's a lot more work to be done on putting pressure on the likes of the [European] Commission, my own government, other member states, MEPs, and even the Greek government because last winter it was a difficult time given the coldness, their proximity to the sea.
"They don't have adequate bathrooms [refugees], connected plumbing systems or electricity across the entire camp so far, human waste is going into the sea off the island of Lesbos in 2021."
Ms Walsh was full of praise for the work of the IRC in trying to improve conditions and education for refugees, however, she said it is "simply not enough".
In 2021 refugees should at least have access to medical treatment on the ground.
The IRC expect more Afghans to arrive in Lesbos in the coming weeks and months.
Speaking to different individuals and families throughout the day, Ms Walsh heard plenty of difficult stories, but two stood out to her.
"I spoke to a young refugee today, he was 21, and he came from the Congo. His father died due to his political affiliations after a government change, he fled with his younger brother to the UK two months ago. He has epilepsy and a mental health condition, and he has to really fight for any support.
"He is just one of a small few, less than 100, that the likes of NGOs can support because they simply don't have the resources.
"I also met a father of five today who has a bullet in his head, it's been there for a long time, and he's continuously denied treatment by doctors because he doesn't have the adequate paper work to ensure that he could leave Lesbos for Athens. His youngest child is now presenting with a mental health condition, and he can't leave now because his family needs him in the camp.
"You're scratching your head thinking, in 2021 refugees should at least have access to medical treatment on the ground."
She added: "Younger children are starved of creativity and development, there are no toys, there are no games, there were a couple of kids who had a football, but even that is rare.
"In years to come the ramifications of living in enclosed spaces for the first five or six years of their lives will be huge."

On Thursday 25 April, edie is hosting an exclusive one-hour webinar featuring sustainable business experts from Tideway, WSP, the BITC and EDF Energy, who will discuss how UK businesses can ramp up their efforts to reduce energy and resource use in 2019-20.
The webinar, which will be held on Thursday April 25 at 10am-11am will focus on exactly how sustainability professionals can help their business reach the 'climate turning point' through a radical increase in ambition and relentless optimism.
On the webinar, Darren White, Head of Sustainability, Thames Tideway Tunnel will now be joined by Libby Sandbrook, Head of Circular Economy at Business in the Community, David Symons, UK Director of Sustainability, WSP; along with Vincent De Rul, Director of Energy Solutiuons, EDF energy.
In 2017, experts identified six key milestones – across energy, transport, land use, industry, infrastructure, and finance – that mankind must hit by 2020 in order to get a grip on global warming once and for all. They called this the 'climate turning point'.
While positive progress has been made towards many of these milestones, action across the board remains broadly insufficient to reverse climate change and tackle key critical environmental and social sustainability issues. But all hope is not lost. In fact, there remains a huge, transformational opportunity for businesses to achieve a sustainable and profitable future.
This webinar, brought to you in association with EDF Energy, will hear from the sustainability and energy leaders who are taking bold action to accelerate change in their organisations and beyond – with a specific focus on carbon reduction and achieving a circular economy.
The webinar will be free to watch live at 10am (UK time) on Thursday 25 April, and will be available for all registrants to watch on-demand afterwards.
If you have any questions about how to scaling up renewable or resource strategies, please leave a comment below and we will do our best to ask them all during the Q&A section of this webinar.

Joke We've All Heard a Thousand Times Turns Out to Be From 2,000 Years Ago
With memes and internet humor being the latest areas of niche comedy, they prove that how we interpret humor changes with time and in different contexts. Just think if some our favorite comedians from TV had tried performing during the 1850s. We have a feeling that wouldn't go over well.
However, there are some jokes which stand the test of time for reasons no one is quite sure of. The "Who's on First" bit employed by Martin and Lewis was a riff on Abbot and Costello's version. But, when it comes to longevity, there is one joke which might have all the rest of them beaten. This joke was found on a 2,000-year-old Roman stylus and it's still something we see on t-shirts today.
The Bloomberg site being excavated. Via/ MOLA
The number of Roman finds being discovered in England has been increasing over the past 10 years. The conquest of Britain by the Romans from the 1st to the 4th centuries left behind many important clues, some of which have been found during farming and others found during construction. The latter is where the iron stylus, dated back to around 70AD, was found. The discovery was made on a construction site for the new European headquarters of Bloomberg, the financial and date management company.
The modern building was completed in 2017, but the ancient finds unearthed during the process are still being studied. In all a staggering 14,000 artifacts were discovered, which understandably has taken a long time to sort out.
The stylus in question was found alongside some stone tablets containing legal paperwork (as it were). The size of the object is similar to a modern pen, but the inscription on the stylus is the funny part. It reads like an ancient Roman version of "I went to Rome and all I got you was this lousy pen." Whoever came up with the now-infamous t-shirt line in 1970s was not telling the world anything new. And, now we know that that joke is at least 2,000 years old!
The stylus in question, from various angles. Via/ MOLA
The translation of the full text, which was rather cunningly fit on the slim object, reads as follows:
"I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift
with a sharp point that you may remember me.
I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give)
as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty."
This poetry is certainly not as simple as those souvenir shirts, but it does convey that a cheap gift from a foreign city was all that the gift-giver could afford. Poetry like this is not often recorded in excavations of ancient Roman sites, so this poem joke on a stylus is a very rare find.
Artifacts on display at Bloomberg Place. Via/ Wiki Commons
Other artifacts from the excavation site include an amber gladiator amulet, a leather chariot decoration, and a section of the Temple of Mithras that had never been excavated before. The latter of these finds is now part of Bloomberg Place as a public exhibit that is the London Mithraeum.
Some have called this horde "the Pompeii of the North" and for good reason. But, it's nice to know that even in the ancient world some Romans had a sense of humor.

Q: Set List for the input field I'm passing list from java action class to jsp file through the session variable and i need set that list to the hidden input field and get that list to the jquery function I used following method to do that
I use this code bock for set list to the input field
<c:if test="${not empty sessionScope.myList}">
        <c:forEach items="${sessionScope.myList}" var="item" varStatus="itemLoop">
            <input class="myClass" type='hidden' value='${item}'/>
        </c:forEach>
</c:if>

jquery method
$(document).ready(function () {

        $('input.myClass').each(function() {
            // do some work

        });
}

But problem is its working first time only, my list values are changed by ajax call, but after changing list size and value it's not set the value accordingly.
Fist time created input fields are also there when I set the value second time. I think my method is not the correct way to do this, if any one know the better way to do this please help me
Thank you..!

A:

You need to remove the created elements first:
$("input.myClass").remove();

Or if you know the container of your elements you can do:
var $parent_container = $("your-selector-for-the-container");
$parent_container.empty();

I think my method is not the correct way to do this if any one know the better way to do this please help me

I'm normally not a fan of global variables, but in your case a global variable might be better than keeping this info (your list items) in the DOM.

Соната для виолончели и фортепиано соль минор op. 19 была написана Сергеем Васильевичем Рахманиновым летом 1901 года.

Рахманинов посвятил сонату виолончелисту Анатолию Брандукову, вместе с которым впервые исполнил её на концерте в Москве 2 декабря 1901 года. По видимому, окончательная редакция партитуры появилась прямо перед исполнением, так как ноты помечены той же датой — «12 декабря 1901 года».

Строение

Соната написана в четырёх частях:

 Lento — Allegro moderato
 Allegro scherzando
 Andante
 Allegro mosso

If Hillary is having an affair with Abedin it would not be evidence of her lesbianism as much as of her common sense and sound judgment.
The idea that Mrs Clinton is having a lesbian affair is about as credible as the idea that Obama is a closet-Muslim. But this is South Carolina, remember? But if she wants to scotch the lesbian rumors, she really should tip better. Or more transparently anyway.


The World Cement Association appointed Zhiping Song, chairman of China National Building Materials (CNBM), as its new president. This is the first time a representative from a Chinese organization has taken the helm of an international cement association.
Song gave his first keynote address as association president last month at the WCA World Cement Conference in London, organized in association with Intercem. More than 100 senior delegates from 29 countries attended the first edition of the global event.
"It is a great honor for me to speak at this conference and a good opportunity for us to share our experience, build consensus and seek common development," Song said.
Song's speech marked the opening of the conference, which focused on key issues and challenges the cement industry is facing, including sustainability and global overcapacity.
In his keynote address, Song explained how CNBM is working to reduce overcapacity and increase industrial concentration by implementing large-scale rationalization, reducing new production and reorganizing M&A strategy, while expanding the business.
"We have been increasing the degree of industrial concentration of cement in China from 12 percent in 2006 to 57 percent in 2016, which set an example for the whole industry," Song said.
As chairman of the world's largest provider of cement, with a capacity of 530 million tpy, Song emphasized CNBM's efforts in the area of environmental protection.
CNBM relies on recycling and uses the heat of burnt industrial waste to power its plants whenever possible. Technological innovation allows the cement group to optimize the production cycle to reduce emissions and energy consumption.
As the newly appointed president of the WCA, Song said he will embrace the importance of joint efforts.
"I want to unite members, actively strive for support from all sectors including governments and non-governmental organizations, safeguard interests of the industry, fulfil social responsibilities and promote the sustainable development of the global cement industry in the future," Song proclaimed.
Song has more than 30 years of experience in business and management in China's building material industry. He has been chairman of CNBM since October 2005, and previously served other board-level roles at China United, BNBMG and China National Pharmaceutical Group Corp.


Moving money around from one place to another is a focal point when it comes to the global financial technology/Fintech scene today. With the rising popularity of fintech technologies, among the main four segments – personal finance, lending, bitcoin, and payment technologies – the latter has received premium spotlight.
In fact, 7/10 largest financial technology deals in 2014 have occurred in the payments sector, with three of those transactions occurring in Q3.
When you clearly look at the indicators, around a quarter of organizations that were selected for the FinTech50, deal with payments. According to Richard Goold, Partner at Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co LLP, many companies based in Europe were not among those who topped the list. However, the big brands, which were in the list, included: the US disrupters like Xoom as well as Square Plus, PayPal, Apple, and big banks.
As Goold claims, the payments market is fragmented, with numerous disruptive companies entering the market. Today, moving money from one country to another, whether it's exchanging currencies, settling invoices, or prepaid cards, is different than traditional banking systems. Disruptive tech companies have entered this business and pursued the industry in three ways, including making the services faster, more convenient, and cheaper, Goold claims.
The increasing popularity of mobile is creating a major impact on the development of fintech technologies. The wide availability of smartphones has led young tech brands to come up with ways of accessing payments and banking services right from their phones, much faster than banks.
This has made Fintech as an industry that startups can leverage. It's a space with a wide range of data available, something that has made companies challenge themselves with new technological advancements that are likely to disrupt the industry.
How do UX designers hired by these tech companies leverage their talents and experience to create clear-cut user experience for payments technologies, especially on mobile devices?
1. Users expect the experience to be smooth and clear.
2. Users want their privacy and security.
Skip Allums, UX Lead at Monitise, one of the largest mobile banking and payments technology companies in the world, provided a webcast that looked at the best UX practices for mobile payment interactions. In his webcast, he provided the following tips and tricks.
You need to keep in mind that your app isn't a goal, so avoid including much entry data and instead focus on the necessary fields. If you want to remain efficient over other players when it comes to screen flow, only go to the necessary elements, as this will help you to initiate faster and to-the-point payments.
Users need to be provided with constant feedback as they go through the payment process. Consider providing feedback using animations, audio, or even visual clues. When you do this, you will instill a sense of safety and trust for the user, as they are dealing with finances. Go ahead and provide a receipt after the transactions have been made, to ensure the user remains calm after going through the transaction process.
Having a section that clearly shows the activity and balance will go a long way in helping users to know how much they spend. This will create a consistent user experience. Don't forget to highlight credit amounts and obvious payments by giving the records in plain and coherent English.
Studies show that 55 percent of users are much concerned with ID theft, with 47 percent claiming to be worried about losing their phones. More stats show that 44 percent of them are concerned about their privacy, whereas 39 percent base their concern on unreliable devices.
· Include both passwords and pins, as they are faster compared to usernames and also allow for auto lockdown should there be many failed attempts.
· Make text and numbers large when creating the passcodes to make it easy to read.
· Allow users to enter only 4 to 5 digits.
· Keep the passcode hidden as they are being entered.
· Ensure there is a clear path which the user can use to reset the code, or even to return to the previous page of sign in.
· Allow for time-out option that triggers for Passcodes generally after inactivity of about 1 to 5 minutes.
· Don't accept obvious Passcodes like 1111, 1234.
For gesture patterns, ensure that you make use of obvious touch or drag stop points, with no less than four such points and a maximum of 10.
In all, adopt one of these practices to avoid compromising the data of cardholder.
Just as creating the right experience is important; you must not overlook designing for error cases. Allow for feedback and make use of visual cues, animations, audio, and messaging feedback. Provide information on steps users can take should an error case be present. This will make every stage of the user experience clear.
Every part of your instructional text should be written in plain English, without using difficult words. Keep in mind that mobile payment is a rather new product, especially in the United States, and users need to see easy and familiar language. Don't use technical jargon when describing the processes; just explain concisely what happens in the background.
The way your app appears and performs will go a long way in gaining the trust of users, keeping in mind that it handles money. Don't forget to follow UI guidelines and avoid cramming UI patterns for iOS in an Android app.
It wouldn't hurt explaining inherent service charges, if any, because users don't want to be caught off guard by some hidden transaction fees that were not explained before. If there are hardware issues, bring them to their attention as soon as possible.
Again, Mobile payments are a new thing. You should, therefore, take care by providing them with support. Keep in mind that users need effective instruction, so give them a robust FAQ page as well as a help section.
Awarding repeated use will be very beneficial. You want the user coming back, making the app a part of the daily lives, which you can achieve by rewarding them on regular basis. Have incentives that clearly demonstrate user benefits and provide relevant offers to encourage their daily use.
What are some mobile ux design best practices that you adopt in your user experience design process? Feel free to email us at [email protected] with your input.


The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is getting $8.6 million in grants to find genetic and environmental factors that underlie and contribute to impairments with psychiatric disorders.
The National Institutes of Health today announced the grants, which also will go to other research schools like the Medical College of Wisconsin and Johns Hopkins University.
UNC's funding will create a new Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science at the school. The money will come in over five years, and the National Institute of Mental Health – part of NIH – will fund the first two years of UNC's project, which will receive about $6 million of the total through federal stimulus money.
The research will combine genetics and neurobehavior using unique strains of lab mice to find genetic and environmental factors in psychiatric conditions.
Read here for more about how the research with mice helps narrow down the massive task of figuring out how the human genome pieces work together.
"These sophisticated genetic models will provide new opportunities to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and to make progress toward understanding how genes shape behavior," NIMH Director Thomas R. Insel said in a release announcing the funding.
Other, already established genomic science centers have studied genetic markers tied to certain types of cancer, depression and autism as well as genetic variation studies to identify parts of the human genome in which variations add to increased risk of common diseases like type 2 diabetes.
Here's more about the genetic science centers, which now include a spot at UNC, and the work being done to figure out diseases and treatment.

Grieving Kids Need Guidance
By Naomi Naierman
To both adults and children, grief is a highly emotional experience that includes fear, anger, relief, despair, peace, guilt, numbness, agitation, and sorrow. Children, in particular, can feel a sense of abandonment and a loss of security and control when they lose a loved one. In her book The Grieving Child, Helen Fitzgerald notes, "Children haven't had many of the experiences life has to offer, nor are they cognitively able to understand death as we do. Thus they grieve without the same level of comprehension of what is happening to them, for they have not had the experience of the finality that accompanies someone's death" (1992, p. 53).
Like adults, children don't process their grief on a predictable timetable. Fitzgerald notes that young people may grieve intensely, but sporadically. For them, a major loss experienced in early childhood can reverberate throughout the years as they progress through life's milestones—birthdays, first date, graduation, marriage, and parenthood.
In the me-centered world of the early years, young children may feel responsible for the illness or death of a loved one. They may think that because they misbehaved or had a "bad thought," they caused the crisis. Magical thinking has not yet been replaced with reality, and unpleasant events like death are seen as avoidable or reversible. Small children may believe that there is something they can do to bring a loved one back.
Failure to address the needs of young, grieving children can have dire consequences later in life. Studies show that bereaved children under the age of five are more susceptible than older children to long-term negative outcomes, such as depression and pathological behavior. (See Bereavement: Reactions, Consequences and Care by Marian Osterweis, et al., 1984, National Academy Press, Washington DC.) Teachers and child care providers can play a vital role in helping children understand and manage the pain of grief. They can also help parents by communicating what they observe in a child and suggesting coordinated responses to help a child grieve effectively.
The first step in becoming familiar with children's grief is to understand the nature of grief at various developmental stages. A child under the age of two, for example, may not understand loss, but will nevertheless sense any emotional changes among surrounding adults, especially after a primary caregiver dies. The child may regress, and there may be a noticeable increase in fussiness and clinging. To reassure the child, every effort should be made to provide structure and affection, if not a substitute primary caregiver on a continuous basis.
Toddlers, ages three to five, perceive death as temporary and find the concepts of heaven, soul, and spirit difficult to understand. When the loved one does not return, a sadness sets in, as well as acting-out behaviors such as aggression, noncompliance, and nightmares. These behaviors may be exhibited in brief episodes interspersed with periods of play that mask the grief. Like their younger counterparts, these children need consistent affection and a daily structure that is as close as possible to their previous routine.
Beginning at the age of six, children can understand that death is permanent, but they are subject to many misconceptions and guilty feelings. They may blame themselves for the tragedy or fear their own death. Words describing their feelings will not come easily. Common acting-out behaviors include aggression, withdrawal, possessiveness, compulsive caregiving, and phobias.
As important role models, caregivers and teachers have the responsibility and privilege to help grieving youngsters. Providing safety and acceptance is the guiding principle of an orchestrated response in and outside the classroom. As outlined in Grief at School, A Guide for Teachers and Counselors by the American Hospice Foundation, teaching adults are helpful when they assume a proactive role and take strategic actions. Among the suggestions made in this guide are the following:
1. Acknowledge a child's grief by conveying your own compassion and reassurance in age-appropriate ways. Explain to a child you are feeling sad and missing the person who has died. Reassure him or her that after you have had a good cry you will be feeling better, and then let the child know what he or she can do to make you feel better. This may be a hug, getting a glass of water, or finding a box of tissues.
2. Be vigilant; anticipate new behaviors; and provide opportunities for safe, emotional outlet. Anticipate some anger in a child. The intensity will vary depending on the circumstances of the loss as well as the ability of the child to cope and the presence of support. Let him or her know it is okay to be angry, but it is not always okay to do what you do when you are angry. Teach children some things that he or she could do to express anger: activities such as tearing up old magazines, writing on a helium balloon and letting it go, writing in a journal, etc.
3. Provide structure and set limits—a firm hand is a sign of normalcy at a time of confusion.
4. Discuss a child's behaviors and needs with the family and coordinate consistent messages. This is particularly important for the issues of religion and family routines. Encourage parents to share what they are teaching their child about death, the vocabulary they are using, and the child's involvement in the funeral ritual. As a caregiver, you can provide extra support and assistance to the children in your care.
5. Plan age-appropriate activities designed to facilitate constructive expressions of grief. For children ages six and under, the following activities are effective:
· Use coloring books with subjects related to death and grief (often available through local hospices).
· Read age-appropriate books on death and grief (see the resource list below for suggestions).
· Encourage the children to write poems, stories, and plays based on the characters and themes in books or based on their own experience.
· Have the children make a scrapbook or poster about the special person who died.
· Create a memorial with the children, including a ceremony and meaningful symbols of remembrance.
Understanding children's grief, recognizing the signs of grief, and learning how to reach out to children through gestures and activities are skills that every educator should possess. Helping young children deal with their losses can be as crucial to a happy, productive future as any reading lesson can be.

Pre-K Isn't Just Academic
Early social-emotional skills, not academics, may be more essential to long-term success.
By Katharine Stevens Opinion contributorJuly 27, 2017, at 7:00 a.m.
There's more that matters.(FATCAMERA/GETTY STOCK IMAGES)
A FEW WEEKS AGO, YET another pre-K study was released – this one showing that kindergartners who attended preschool programs focusing on academic skills score higher on math and literacy assessments than peers who attended less academically focused pre-K or didn't attend pre-K at all.
The study got some big headlines, but its findings aren't actually too surprising. We probably could have guessed that preschool programs that "spend more time on activities emphasizing language, pre-literacy, and math concepts" yield kindergartners who do better on tests of those concepts.
What does seem surprising, though, is that more people aren't asking, "So what?"
When it comes to pre-K, we seem to have forgotten that raising kindergartners' scores on tests of basic academic skills is not the goal of early human development. The goal is helping children develop into contributing, self-sufficient, happy people, from elementary school into adulthood.
And there's no evidence that kindergartners' scores on tests of basic academic skills correlates with – much less causes – children's well-being and success, in school or beyond. In fact, a handful of little-noted studies indicate that early non-academic skills may be much more important to children's long-term success.
What Pre-K Evangelists Get Wrong
Pre-K doesn't give working parents or disadvantaged kids the boost advocates say it does.
Katharine StevensOct. 14, 2016
One recent study of over 9,000 children entering kindergarten in the Baltimore Public Schools, for example, found that more than half lacked non-academic capacities like following directions, complying with rules, managing emotions, solving problems, organizing and completing tasks and getting along with others – often called "social-emotional" skills – that are essential for learning in a classroom setting.
By fourth grade, the children who had entered kindergarten with inadequate social-emotional skills were up to 80 pecent more likely to have been retained in grade, up to 80 percent more likely to have received special education services and up to seven times more likely to have been suspended or expelled at least once over the previous five years.
Another recent study found that kindergartners' social-emotional skills were highly predictive of their academic, economic and social outcomes into adulthood. Using a cluster of indicators – such as "resolves peer problems," "listens to others," "shares materials," "cooperates" and "is helpful" – researchers rated the social-emotional skills of 750 kindergartners on a five-point scale, and then tracked them until they turned 25.
For every one-point increase in the rating of a child's social-emotional skills in kindergarten, he or she was twice as likely to earn a college degree, 54 percent more likely to earn a high school diploma and 46 percent more likely to hold a full-time job at age 25.
For every one-point decrease, on the other hand, a child was 67 percent more likely to have been arrested and 82 percent more likely to be in or on a waiting list for public housing – two decades after kindergarten.
The greater the difference between kindergartners' social-emotional skills, the bigger the difference in their outcomes by the age of 25. Children who scored at the higher end of the spectrum, for example, were four times more likely to obtain a college degree than children who scored at the lower end. Studies of kindergartners' test scores show nothing even close to these results.
Child Care Is Critical to the American Dream
Achieving the American Dream depends on access to affordable child care.

Unfortunately, pre-K's effects on children's social, emotional and behavior development has barely been studied. But common sense suggests that being a few weeks ahead in basic academic skills when you're five isn't what's most important to long-term success. Kindergarten teachers, too, tell us the same thing:
I wasn't too worried about my students who entered kindergarten a bit behind in their math or literacy skills… The students that did worry me were the ones who started kindergarten lacking important social-emotional skills [who have difficulty with] following directions, managing their emotions, and getting along with other children and the adults that share their classroom. As a teacher, I knew that these skills were more difficult to instill in my students than the basic math and literacy skills that would be covered throughout the school year.
It makes sense that pre-K studies focus on children's basic academic skills in kindergarten because that's what's easiest and cheapest for researchers to measure. The rest of us, however, should start figuring out what really matters for children.

Key piece to cancer cell survival puzzle solved
Eric Hendrickson and colleagues identify a specific gene human cells need to survive chromosomal defects linked to the onset of cancer.
An international team led by Eric A. Hendrickson of the University of Minnesota and Duncan Baird of Cardiff University has solved a key mystery in cancer research: What allows some malignant cells to circumvent the normal process of cell death that occurs when chromosomes get too old to maintain themselves properly?
Researchers have long known that chromosomal defects that occur as cells repeatedly divide over time are linked to the onset of cancer. Now, Hendrickson, Baird and colleagues have identified a specific gene that human cells require in order to survive these types of defects.
"We have identified a gene that, as cells age, seems to regulate whether the cells become cancerous or not," said Hendrickson, a professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics, and a researcher in the Masonic Cancer Center. "This gene has never been identified before in this role, so this makes it a potentially very important therapeutic target."
As cells divide their telomeres — the DNA "caps" that protect the ends of chromosomes from damage — shorten, leaving the chromosomes vulnerable to sticking to each other. In normal cells, this chromosome stickiness is a death knell — a signal to defective-cell cleanup crews to move in and finish them off. Malignant cells, however, are somehow able to elude the cleanup crews.
The current research, published in a recent issue of the journal Cell Reports, identifies an essential component that allows older cells to evade death. Using sophisticated gene-targeting techniques to disable particular genes in human cells and then studying the impact on telomere fusion, the researchers found that cells escaped death only when the gene Ligase 3 was active but not when its action, which appears to promote fusion within like chromosomes rather than between different chromosomes, was blocked.
"Telomere dysfunction has been identified in many human cancers, and as we have shown previously, short telomeres can predict the outcome of patients with [chronic lymphocytic leukemia] and probably many other tumor types," said Baird. "Thus, the discovery that Ligase 3 is required for this process is fundamentally important."
Interestingly, the research was made possible by a chance meeting between Hendrickson, who is an expert in using gene targeting to create cells missing key components (such as Ligase 3), and Baird, who is a leading expert in analyzing telomeres. When the two discovered at a scientific conference that they were both looking at the role of Ligase 3 in cancer, they decided to collaborate.
"The collaboration paid off as we were able to uncover something that neither one of us could have done on our own," Hendrickson says.
Importantly, additional studies are already underway. In particular, the reliance on Ligase 3 appears, in turn, to be dependent upon the activity of another key DNA repair gene, p53.
"Since p53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer, it now behooves us to discover how these two genes are interacting and to see if we can't use that information to develop synergistic treatment modalities," says Hendrickson.

Home [english] Region Americas Guatemala Joint statement on the (...)
Joint statement on the decision not to renew the mandate of the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala and barring its chief commissioner from entry into the country
Ad hoc and hybrid tribunals
5 September 2018. International organisations in Europe that cooperate on Guatemala
condemn the decision of President Jimmy Morales not to renew the mandate of the International
Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG), as well as the subsequent decision
whereby its Commissioner, Iván Velásquez, has been barred from entering the country, which
put at serious risk the justice system and the rule of law. The CICIG has contributed significantly
to the work of the Public Prosecutor's Office and to fighting the corruption networks embedded
in the state of Guatemala, but there is still a long way to go before the latter really has strong and
independent institutions. We are concerned that as a result of this decision, the judicial
processes initiated by the CICIG will remain inconclusive, and that the networks of corruption
will regain full control of the state. Therefore, we consider that international accompaniment
and support for the CICIG, including Commissioner Iván Velásquez as well as for the other
key Guatemalan institutions working to uphold the rule of law, such as the Public Prosecutor's
Office, independent judges, and the Human Rights Ombudsman, remains imperative.
In recent years, we have noted with concern the constant defamation campaigns against
Commissioner Iván Velásquez and other CICIG officials by the Government of Guatemala and
powerful groups that feel threatened by their investigations. The fact that President Morales
declared Commissioner Velásquez persona non grata and tried to expel him from the country in
August 2017, because the CICIG had initiated investigations against his son and brother for acts
of corruption, and has now barred Commissioner Velásquez, who has initiated a process
against President Morales on allegations of his party receiving illicit financing during the
electoral campaign of 2015, from entry into the country, is a case in point.
We are gravely concerned that on 31 August 2018, the Government of Guatemala used tanks
and heavily armed policemen to intimidate CICIG personnel, as well as Guatemalan citizens,
while announcing the decision not to renew the mandate of the CICIG. The image of President
Jimmy Morales surrounded by the military and police at the press conference evokes the
memory of the coup d'état and the military dictatorships during the dark years of the internal
armed conflict, and generates fear in the population. The use of intimidation measures like these demonstrate the real risk that Guatemala will return to past repression and impunity. The
international community cannot stand by and tolerate the use of such intimidation or of
undemocratic practices of this kind.
In light of the foregoing, we call on the European Union and its Member States to demand that
the state of Guatemala complies with its international obligations and guarantees the necessary
conditions for Commissioner Iván Velásquez and the CICIG to continue their work safely and
independently. This is all the more important, given the crucial support the CICIG gives to the
development of independently functioning rule of law institutions in Guatemala. Moreover, we
call on the European Union and its Member States to see to it that the state of Guatemala
respects the human rights of its citizens and does not return to the violent, repressive and
undemocratic practices of the past.
