Suite Carroll County
About the Score
The Algonquin Mill near Carrollton, Ohio, is listed on the National Registry of Historic Sites. It was operated commercially from 1815 until 1969 when it was purchased and restored by the Carroll County Historical Society. The historical society continues to mill wheat, buckwheat, and corn in the old traditions. In The Algonquin Mill, a miller sings of his work and his love for the mill. The lilting waltz tempo imitates the roll of the mill. The round near the end of the work travels into remote keys.
Award-winning poet, June Gilbaugh, a long-time resident of Carroll County wrote the text for this piece. The poet reflects on a black and white photograph of her childhood home at the end of the depression. The piece is contemplative and reflective. Parallel and quartal harmony intensify the dream-like quality of the music.
The railroad that served Carroll County Ohio began operating in the early 1800s.The Elderberry Line got its nickname in the 1890s because of the plentiful elderberry bushes that grow along the tracks. In the early days, the train went so slowly, people claimed you get off and pick enough elderberries so you could make a pie when you got home. In this piece, a family takes a ride on the historic Elderberry Line. The father and grandfather encourage the children to find elderberries along the tracks. If they find them, the mother and grandmother promise to make a pie when they get home.
Everyone loves the Fourth of July picnic and fireworks. This piece is a spirited, patriotic Bluegrass song that evokes the holiday.
"This piece celebrates rural life. Individual movements may be performed separately. Suite Carroll County was one of the original Continental Harmony commissions that linked composers and communities to celebrate the millennium. The sponsors provided assistance for small to mid-size organizations to commission a new piece for their group. One organization in each state received a grant. Reese was selected by the Carroll County Arts organization to write a piece for the Carroll County Chorale and Orchestra. http://www.pbs.org/harmony/community/proj_oh.html"

I had this problem and discovered it was due to a leak. The float switch attached to the bottom panel was operating. Pull out the mains plug, tip the machine on it's side (water will escape so get a mop ready), remove the bottom panel, 3 screws front and back, disconnect the connector from the float switch. Tape the connecter up out of the way and stand your machine back up. Try running it now. If you have a leak somewhere then you will get a puddle under the machine. If no leak, then I would suspect the float switch itself.

Comment This return route is caught up in the housing expansion of Ashford, especially at Cheeseman's Green. Hopefully the rights of way will be protected but they may not be waymarked and may be a mixture of roads, alleys and little greens. Keep a close eye on the map and check the compass direction.
With the Queens Head behind, cross the main road to the road opposite. Walk away from the pub, uphill for some way. Pass a car park on the left at the top of the hill and a footpath going into it. Soon reach the parish church. Turn left into the churchyard and follow the path to the right of the church, to a stile in the hedge at the bottom of the churchyard. Cross the stile into a paddock and keep on down, past cottages, to another stile.
Over this, turn right to follow a hedge. Soon pass through a gap into an open field and cross towards the righthand edge of a new housing estate. Cross two stiles with a track between and enter a sloping field. Bear slightly left on the path going uphill and reach another stile and footbridge at the far side. Cross into a path enclosed between bushes. Keep uphill (ignoring a footpath off right), then pass houses on the left, on a broad fenced track.
Go through a kissing gate (gate missing) at the top and keep on, passing a car park on the left and a school on the right. Go straight ahead onto a path entering a corner of a wood. Keep forward following the edge of the wood with the school fence on the right. At a corner ahead meet a new housing estate. Here turn left on an asphalt path down the side of the wood. On meeting a road turn right a few paces then immediately left onto another asphalt path continuing in the same direction with a stream down on the left.
At the end of the houses turn right up to a road. Here turn left over a bridleway bridge over a main road and railway. From the highest point of the bridge it is possible to see a grey barn building, slightly to the left, in the distance. This is Bilham Farm where the route is heading. Currently a large housing estate is being built in the field just over the bridge. Hopefully the footpath route will be kept through the development.
Basically bear diagonally left on what is currently a bridleway. In 100 metres or so, bear right onto a footpath. At the far side of the development this crosses a gravel track then a broad grassy bridge over a deep drainage stream. Keep forward over rough ground to a metal kissing gate into a large field. Bilham Farm can be seen ahead.
Cross the field to a further metal kissing gate and footbridge. Cross into a pasture and bear right over to a third metal kissing gate in the hedge. Go through and turn left on a farm track. Follow this to the right passing the grey barn on the left, then go left around the front of the barn to a metal fieldgate and on to a T-junction by the farm office. Here turn right down the farm entrance drive for some way. On nearing the end, ignore a footpath off left and continue to reach the public road at Cheeseman's Green.
Here turn left along the road, for 20 metres, then turn right through a gap in the hedge, to a footpath leading slightly left across a large field towards a lone tree by a hedge in the distance.
Having reached the tree, look for the distant distinctive timber clad buildings of Swanton Mill. Go gently downhill aiming to the right of the mill buildings, to a footbridge and stile in the bottom hedge. Cross into a large pasture and bear diagonally left across towards trees at the left end of the mill buildings.
On reaching the far fence go through a new metal kissing gate and over a footbridge. Keep forward between sheds past a pond on the left, to a narrow concrete footbridge. Cross and go straight across the field under power lines, to a stream in midfield. Find a bridge to cross it then bear right uphill. Aim to the right of a church tower in the distance. Go up, then down, to a metal footbridge with bars making it difficult to climb, then on over a field in the same direction to a road.
Turn right on this road and soon reach a T-junction. The Farriers' Arms is on the left at the start of the section.


It should be possible to change that. Jean-Christophe and Robin attempted to murder John. I'm not leaving with Harris. Would you mind if we sit in? We don't have any drinking water. Have you ever cleaned your kitchen? They are organizing politically and working to ensure that they are respected and valued. The obscene graffiti were removed by a city employee. I love the smell of freshly baked bread. When do you shop?
Betty laid herself on the bed. Why would I be friends with Dennis? Lukas was well liked by his classmates, teachers and friends. Revised and I get along fine. That meant a great deal to me. I want to be sure I heard that correctly. We didn't want anything more to eat. Roderick went through all the files in the drawer. I find her very impressive. The infant has been exposed to radioactive rays.
There are some adults who have never been children. We can't afford to be choosy now. I think Louise is thin. Ronni has forgiven me. You didn't have to do it. The police found shoe impressions at the crime scene. Don't forget to fasten your safety belts. I cannot resist eating pudding. She read books all night. I arrived on the night he left.
It is said that Japanese people are kind to people they know, but rather cold to those they don't. I give charity almost every day. I'm sorry, but I can't answer right away. She's good at getting around rules. I think Debi is the only one here who doesn't know how to do that. I saw her blush. Was it that immediate? Jacques told me he wasn't going to be at school tomorrow. We won today. If it had not been for your help, I couldn't have completed the work.
We'll be friends forever. She asked for help, but no one came. I'm a Japanese teacher. You probably shouldn't eat that. The drama differs from the original story. The college was founded by Mr Smith. "I can't do everything you've asked me to do." "Then just do what you can." Everyone smiled but Lois. Old men are children twice over. I hate everything about you.
Cathrin appeared suddenly, as if he just grew out of the ground. How are you all doing? The first course is soup. She told me that she came all the way from Hokkaido to see her brother. I am my own worst critic. Where exactly are we? Spudboy seems to be lying. I need my passport for travel. I participated in the discussion. He had almost no formal education.
I would like to work this summer. They dine at seven. I really want to go to the bring and buy and get something unique He kissed me softly on the lips. Tuna doesn't look like the man in the picture. He handled the knife and fork very well. He asked me to communicate his wishes to you. What do you say to playing tennis this afternoon? British and Japanese cars have steering wheels on the right side. It's impossible to know what might happen.
In 1939, as in 1914, the world was on the brink of war. "I'm not allowed to say that!" - "What would happen if you did so anyway?" What's with all the flowers? Most of the plants died. She was hostile to any attempt at reconciliation. He is going to read a book. We've always been told to do what's best for us. What language are you speaking? My grandma and her friends kibitz for hours. Let's hope we did the right thing.
Smoking is not a habit; it's an addiction. Are you the only one here? The child caresses the cat. Is there some land for sale here? I can't come over tonight. Where did you study? The car is old but good. New blankets were distributed to the poor. Would you like me to make coffee? If memory serves me right, this is where we first met each other.
Please leave us. Janos won't back off. Take a look around you. Does Manjeri have a key to Thad's apartment? She's in the pocket of big corporations. The blood quickly drained from her face. This reference is valuable for my research. May I trouble you to pass me the salt? Money is human happiness in the abstract: he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes his heart entirely to money. You handled that deftly.

Q: What is proper event to update action bar? My activity just includes a fragment container, and I'll shift different fragments in it. I want the action bar to show different action icons according to current fragment. For example, when fragment 1 is active, I want the action bar to show a navigation drop list, when fragment 2 is active, I want the action bar to show nothing.
My questions are:
1) What's a proper event to update action bar upon fragment replacement?
2) When fragment 2 becomes to active, how to restore the action bar to initial state (remove navigation drop list and maybe something else)?

A: 1) Store the reference to the menu in your activity. Create a private property in your activity:
private Menu mMenu;

2) Get the reference to the menu in onCreateOptionsMenu:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.test_choice, menu);
    mMenu = menu;
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

3) You can then switch change the items in the action bar whenever you need to, e.g. I created that method to change the icon and title of an action bar item:
private void displayActionBar() {
    if (mMenu == null) return;

    if (mQuestionStage) {
        MenuItem nextItem = mMenu.findItem(R.id.action_testNext);
        nextItem.setIcon(R.drawable.navigation_accept);
        nextItem.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.action_testCheck));
    } else
    {
        MenuItem nextItem = mMenu.findItem(R.id.action_testNext);
        nextItem.setIcon(R.drawable.navigation_forward);
        nextItem.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.action_testNext));
    }
}

EDIT
Based on the additional comments, here's how you can switch the drop down in the action bar (between showing and not showing it). You can use that code where you need it:
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if (actionBar.getNavigationMode() == ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST)
        actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);
    else
        actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);

A: I will recommend you to handle the ActionBar along with the Fragment's lifecycle rather than change it without a fragment switch (which might lead to user's confusion).

*

*In you fragment's onCreate() method, notify the activity that you want to change the action bar by setHasOptionsMenu(true). Without this statement, your fragments onCreateOptionsMenu() will not be called even if you override it.

*Change the actionbar by overriding onCreateOptionsMenu() and handle the response in onOptionsItemSelected() method, all in fragments. (BTW, if you are not handling a item click, remember to call super.onOptionsItemSelected() )

*Remember to override the onBackStackChanged() method or use other ways to correctly handle the UI(e.g., actionbar) when back key is pressed and back stack is used. See this android's develop guide article for details.
ps. if you simple want to remove prior fragment's actionbar item in a particular fragment, simply called menu.clear() in its onCreateOptionsMenu()

Start with the requirements and restrictions for the event prior to created the Planned Program Sheet is a list of the elements the skater plans to perform that needs to be completed and a copy sent to the registrar of the competition along with the entry form and payment.
Many competitions are now able to process entries electronically.
Program requirements at all qualifying events for the 2010-2011 competition season will be according to the 2010 USFS Rule Book. Any rule changes marked as "Urgent" at the May 2010 Governing Council will apply immediately.
All competitors in IJS events must submit a Planned Program Content Sheet (PPCS). Many competitions require the PPCS is to be completed online prior to a specified date. Many host clubs are assessing a $25 fee for each event for those skaters who do not submit the PPCS by the stated time. Any PPCS submitted by paper, regardless of date, may also be assessed a $25 fee.
Once the information has been entered, PPCS may be updated online at any time and as often as is desired without cost, but no later than the date specified in the announcement. Go to www.usfsaonline.org and follow the instructions to complete your PPCS. Designate the name of the competition to receive your form.
The PPCS can be changed prior to the event. The competition announcement will elaborate when and to whom the revised PPCS should be handled when arriving at the rink and checking in.
There are elements that the skater and coach have 100% confidence in the skater being able to deliver the same high quality skills in program practices and competitive performances.
The PPCS usually changes over the training season with more difficult elements being substituted as the skater develops the skills to consistently perform the individual element in practice sessions.
Each coach and skater will have their own ideas about when more difficulty elements should be added to practicing the full program from start to finish without interruptions. The are different opinions about when difficult elements should be skated in the program. Front end loading is an expression referring to situating all of the difficult jump elements before the halfway mark in the program. The thought is that the legs become fatigued and achieving the full springing force declines as the skater approaches the halfway mark. Jumps after the halfway mark receive a 10% bonus points.
Skaters who rarely or inconsistently practice their programs to the music and perform every element as planned to the coach's satisfaction does not achieve the stamina necessary to deliver a championship performance in a competition.
Running through sections of a program are part of the process of strengthening and improving parts of a program; however, this is not a substitute for daily practices of a full program skated to music with the planned elements performed as they are intended for competition with out falls interrupting the flow, choreography, and interpretation.
Develop a performance confidence baseline by recording how the essential elements of free skating, pair or free dance program is performed. Using a PPCS, evaluate and mark the elements as they would be called, including levels, by a technical panel and by judges awarding GOEs and the five Program Component scores - Skating Skills, Transitions, Execution, Choreography, and Interpretation.
The above PPCS information allows the skater and coach to calculate the value of the program content. Additional calculations can factor in value for element levels, estimated GOEs, and Program Components.
This data can become the basis of developing a risk analysis strategy of attempting items which are not consistently being performed at a high skill level.

Fortitude Ranch, a recreational and survival community, has created a tradable cryptocurrrency token for advance membership sales to fund expansion to provide more people with a cost effective, affordable means to survive a collapse. Our cryptocurrency token, called a Fortitude, gives you a discount price on Fortitude Ranch membership, protection from membership price increases, and priority in joining when there is a waiting list.
The table below shows the number of Fortitude tokens needed to join Fortitude Ranch (making the initial downpayment) for different types of membership. This token price is fixed. Cash membership prices will rise over time, but the price to join when paying with our Fortitude cryptocurrency membership tokens will not change.
If you can pay at least 50% of your membership down payment in Fortitude tokens, you get priority to join over cash buyers. This priority to join feature of the Fortitude Ranch membership token is a significant advantage as the chart below explains.
This is a utility token, an advance purchase of membership, with no equity or security features that should not result in any future securities regulation issues. We "coined" the term Initial MemberCoin Offering to emphasize that this is a utility token.
The value of our membership token may rise because Fortitudes give both a locked in price and priority to join when waiting lists form to join Fortitude Ranch. In the event of a major crisis or media reports on threats, demand for membership in FR will surge beyond our capacity, and the price of Fortitudes may spike since those who want to get in will need Fortitudes to have first place in the wait list.
The advance sale of Fortitude Ranch memberships via our Fortitude token will fund our expansion from two existing sites to a dozen sites across the United States, and an international location. FR is a large survival community that can keep members spread out (for virus protection) with sufficient size to deter/defeat marauder attacks and raise crops/livestock. We are fully equipped to survive any type of disaster and long-term loss of law and order, managed by full time staff. FR is affordable because of large numbers of members and economies of scale. FR is especially attractive to join because it is a recreation/vacation facility as well as a survival retreat. We locate in remote locations in mountains and forests, ideal for hiking, fishing, hunting, and all types of outdoor recreation.
A pandemic is inevitable, with bioengineering, nuclear proliferation, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and many other new technologies increasing the capability of a small nation state, terrorist group, or even an individual to trigger a huge disaster. Our "Just in Time Delivery" economy, daily food shipments in cities, and dependent populations, are very vulnerable to a collapse in a functioning economy and loss of law and order that could last for months or years. Food delivery trucks will not come into big cities during a pandemic, electric outage, or other disasters that trigger panic and lawlessness.
Rather than focusing on these growing threats and protecting the population, Big Government is focused on buying votes and increasing its power via entitlement programs and regulations shaped by Big Corporations. In the United States these are largely unconstitutional laws that ignore the 10th Amendment to the Constitution which bans any federal government exercise of power that is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. While Governments have shelters for their top leadership and priority protection from police, they are not working to protect citizens from collapse disasters. Everyone needs to be a "Prepper," taking steps to ensure family and friends can survive a long-term collapse of a functioning economy and loss of law and order.
Founder and CEO of Fortitude Ranch is Dr. Drew Miller. Drew is a USAF Academy honor graduate, intelligence officer, and retired Colonel. He received an academic scholarship to Harvard University where he earned a Master's Degree and PhD. His PhD dissertation was on underground nuclear defense shelters and field fortifications. After serving as an intelligence officer on active duty, Drew entered the reserves and started a business career. He served as a Manager of Corporate Planning and Development at ConAgra Inc. (a Fortune 25 Food and Agriculture Company), VP of Business Development for Securities America, a broker-dealer, and Managing Director of Blockchain Business Consultants.
Our White Paper and details on the Fortitude Ranch Initial MemberCoin Offering are available here. For questions, contact Dr/Col Miller at manager@fortituderanch.com.
Purchase Fortitudes via credit card or PayPal below. We can hold Fortitudes you purchase from us for your future use to buy membership, or transfer to you later when you obtain a digital wallet. With your payment, we receive your email address, name and shipping address, and you will receive a receipt from PayPal. If you want an additional acknowlegement of this purchase, you can email Fortitude Ranch, and we'll reply with an additional receipt and details on how to access the Fortitudes we purchase and hold for you. Fortitude tokens are now being sold for $145 each. A 5% discount offered if you pay by check via mail (see Contact Us tab for address) rather than buying via PayPal.
Fortitude Ranch executed a successful "Initial MemberCoin Offering" in Dec 2017-Jan 2018. We sold 4,300 "Fortitude" membership tokens. No additional Fortitude tokens will be created, but the company purchased some of these tokens to allow continued sale of existing tokens. Information on our cryptocurrency membership tokens is provided below.

Should You Reward Employees in the Wake of the Tax Bill?

After the tax bill was finalized and passed in December, many business owners began to contemplate what they should do with their new windfall. With the corporate tax rate falling from 35 percent to 21 percent — representing the biggest one-time drop in U.S. history — pass-through businesses catching a break, and overall tax reductions expected for most Americans through 2025, business owners considered the best move to make with their newfound money.
The only catch? The tax bill will result in the nation's deficit expanding by $ 1.5 trillion in the next decade. That means that economic activity needs to increase to offset the loss and spur more revenue.
Many small businesses considered passing along the tax-related savings to their employees in the form of bonuses and raises, thinking it was a win-win in terms of boosting employee retention and triggering spending. But is it the best decision?
All Cuts Are Not Created Equal
Large corporations like Starbucks have the reserves in their coffers to extend $ 250 million in tax cut savings to employees. Starbucks' post-tax cut offerings include bonuses, grants, and stock options — all of which further career longevity for the employees who stand to benefit. Several other employers, including Walmart and Apple, have pledged to do the same, as well as offer raises.
But that must take into account the fact that $ 250 million is more than half of the estimated $ 425 million Starbucks will be saving as a result of the tax bill. While Starbucks is being incredibly generous with its windfall, smaller companies with accordingly smaller cash reserves may not have the same luxury.
The other upside for large businesses is their access to additional lines of credit if the tax cuts don't work out to their advantage. The National Small Business Association reported that 29 percent of small business owners have had their lines of credit reduced in recent years, and about 10 percent had their line of credit pulled in earlier than expected. Clearly, small business owners don't have the same credit flexibility that corporations do.
"The tax cut reform is complex," said Chris Moloney, CMO and head of strategic partnerships for TaxSlayer, a company offering online and professional tax prep software. "While everyone who supports small businesses wants to see these employees profit when their companies profit, it's best for entrepreneurs to determine how the tax cuts will actually play out in their situation before putting themselves in a potentially cash-poor position."
What's a Small Business to Do?
The New York Times reported that many small businesses have been raising wages over the past year as they enjoy healthy finances, as well as grapple with increased competition for strong employees. Bill Dunkelberg, the chief economist of the National Federation of Independent Business, told the newspaper, "Our companies have been raising compensation for a year now."
While many small businesses have experienced healthy growth — tax cut or not — their reactions to the tax bill itself have been varied. One landscape company, Breckenridge Landscape LLC, projects it will save 15 percent of its annual revenue through the tax cuts. The company, in turn, awarded a $ 3.00-per-hour pay raise to its 35 employees. "We are bullish on the new tax reforms," says the company's president, Eric Weishaar.
On the other end of the spectrum is Renato Agrella, the co-founder of brand consulting firm 2A Consulting. He says the savings won't be enough to justify an increase to worker compensation. "Right now, we don't necessarily see a bigger increase on the margins that we're going to be making; that's the truth," he says.
If, like Agrella, your reaction to the newest tax reform is more "business as usual," there are other ways your business can benefit from the tax cut.
Invest in employees through stronger merit-based raises.
Whether your company sees a lot more money or a little from its new tax rate, you can still reward employees for their contributions. Calculate how much revenue the business would need to bring in to justify awarding one or two bonuses much larger than its standard.
Then, share with your team how much growth the company needs to see to put itself in a position to award a large bonus (or two) — and tell them the amount the bonuses would be. Let them know that the employee or employees whose innovation or idea results in the biggest boost to the bottom line will be awarded the bonus at the end of the year. Not only will your business put itself in the position needed to truly benefit from its new tax rate, but the move will also instill an ownership mentality in your employees, which will provide the company with benefits for years to come.
Put the money back into the company.
Another way to boost your company's earnings is to reinvest the money saved through the tax cut. If your company is in the early stages, it's especially helpful — this money is much better for your finances than new lines of credit, so reinvesting not only gives the company a cash injection, but it also saves it money in terms of interest in the future.
The best place to put the money is in anything that will boost productivity, whether that's a platform to automate part of your team's process or an investment in a more expensive vendor or supplier. By streamlining your processes and increasing your productivity, you'll see savings throughout the year that will continuously pad your bottom line.
Consider restructuring as a C corporation.
If you're running a small business certified as a pass-through company, you're not receiving the same tax cut as the corporations that saw that massive 14 percent drop — your business's profits are taxed at your personal rate.
Converting to a C corporation can take as little as a week in the 35 states with streamlined conversions. This process includes filing new articles of incorporation, electing officers, creating corporate bylaws, and issuing stock certificates. You'll also need to hold annual board meetings with your newly elected officers. It's important to consult with your lawyer and accountant before making the leap — if your fees to convert will cost more than the tax savings, there's no financial benefit to C corporation status unless it was something your business was already ready for.
The tax cut reform is complex, but every business can benefit — each may just benefit differently. By determining upfront whether an employee investment in terms of bonuses or raises makes sense for your business, you can decide how best to boost your company's profits and make a real impact on the economy.

23th IFSCC (International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists) Conference, Zurique, 21-23 setembro, 2015.
The generation and activation of reactive oxygen species and other reactive agents can cause damage to cellular DNA and the immediate repair capacity of such damage is an important cellular mechanism that protects cells and maintains the genetic stability, preventing early oncogenesis. Mammalian cells have a defense mechanism designed to maintain genomic integrity and prevent the establishment of permanent damage resulting from genotoxic stress. In this context, the GADD45a protein (growth arrest DNA damage 45 alpha) plays a key role in cellular stress sensor through interaction with other proteins. In response to stress, GADD45a can promote the control of cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, epigenetic changes, apoptosis, survival and senescence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effectiveness of 18 sunscreens formulation in protecting against photodamage caused by ultraviolet radiation (UV) in cultured human fibroblasts. Our results showed that UV radiation produced a significant reduction of approximately 60% in the production of GADD45a when compared to non-irradiated control baseline (P<0.001). One possible explanation for this effect is the increase of consumption and degradation of this protein as a result of genotoxic stress, which could result in a transient reduction in the levels of GADD45a in fibroblast cultures. As mentioned, the absence of this protein can lead to genomic instability and the deficiency in the repair of DNA damage. On the other hand, concomitant incubation of cell cultures with photoprotective formulations prevented the marked reduction of this protein caused by UV radiation, promote up to 100% protection in the decrease of GADD45a. Extrinsic aging is attributed to changes in the skin due to lifestyle, being influenced mainly by ultraviolet radiation (UV), but also by pollution resulting from smoking, chemicals, heat and other environmental insults. One of the main targets of UV radiation is the DNA. The nitrogenous bases may undergo structural changes resulting in pyrimidine dimers that can destabilize the DNA molecule. In normal conditions of exposure, the body has enzyme systems that repair these changes in thymines, but cumulative and exposures for long periods, this system can fail and then, UV radiation trigger mutations in the DNA structure that can lead to the activation proto-oncogenes. The results presented in this work allow us to infer that cosmetic sunscreens have an important effect in the process of DNA damage repair generated as a result of genotoxic stress of UV radiation by reducing consumption and GADD45a degradation.

Giant flakes make graphene oxide gel: Discovery could boost metamaterials, high-strength fibers
(Oct. 20, 2011) — Giant flakes of graphene oxide in water aggregate like a stack of pancakes, but infinitely thinner, and in the process gain characteristics that materials scientists may find delicious.
A new paper by scientists at Rice University and the University of Colorado details how slices of graphene, the single-atom form of carbon, in a solution arrange themselves to form a nematic liquid crystal in which particles are free-floating but aligned.
That much was already known. The new twist is that if the flakes -- in this case, graphene oxide -- are big enough and concentrated enough, they retain their alignment as they form a gel. That gel is a handy precursor for manufacturing metamaterials or fibers with unique mechanical and electronic properties.
The team reported its discovery online this week in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Soft Matter. Rice authors include Matteo Pasquali, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and of chemistry; James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Chair in Chemistry as well as a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science and of computer science; postdoctoral research associate Dmitry Kosynkin; and graduate students Budhadipta Dan and Natnael Behabtu. Ivan Smalyukh, an assistant professor of physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, led research for his group, in which Dan served as a visiting scientist.
"Graphene materials and fluid phases are a great research area," Pasquali said. "From the fundamental point of view, fluid phases comprising flakes are relatively unexplored, and certainly so when the flakes have important electronic properties.
"From the application standpoint, graphene and graphene oxide can be important building blocks in such areas as flexible electronics and conductive and high-strength materials, and can serve as templates for ordering plasmonic structures," he said.
By "giant," the researchers referred to irregular flakes of graphene oxide up to 10,000 times as wide as they are high. (That's still impossibly small: on average, roughly 12 microns wide and less than a nanometer high.) Previous studies showed smaller bits of pristine graphene suspended in acid would form a liquid crystal and that graphene oxide would do likewise in other solutions, including water.
This time the team discovered that if the flakes are big enough and concentrated enough, the solution becomes semisolid. When they constrained the gel to a thin pipette and evaporated some of the water, the graphene oxide flakes got closer to each other and stacked up spontaneously, although imperfectly.
"The exciting part for me is the spontaneous ordering of graphene oxide into a liquid crystal, which nobody had observed before," said Behabtu, a member of Pasquali's lab. "It's still a liquid, but it's ordered. That's useful to make fibers, but it could also induce order on other particles like nanorods."
He said it would be a simple matter to heat the concentrated gel and extrude it into something like carbon fiber, with enhanced properties provided by "mix-ins."
Testing the possibilities, the researchers mixed gold microtriangles and glass microrods into the solution, and found both were effectively forced to line up with the pancaking flakes. Their inclusion also helped the team get visual confirmation of the flakes' orientation.
The process offers the possibility of the large-scale ordering and alignment of such plasmonic particles as gold, silver and palladium nanorods, important components in optoelectronic devices and metamaterials, they reported.
Behabtu added that heating the gel "crosslinks the flakes, and that's good for mechanical strength. You can even heat graphene oxide enough to reduce it, stripping out the oxygen and turning it back into graphite."
Co-authors of the paper are Angel Martinez and Julian Evans, graduate students of Smalyukh at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter, the Colorado Renewable and Sustainable Energy Initiative, the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Research Lab, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Welch Foundation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Environmental Quality and Installation Program and M-I Swaco supported the research.

Last week British producer SG Lewis unveiled a new track, "Throwaway", from the third and final installment of his Dusk Dark Dawn series featuring vocal stylings of viral sensation and good friend to SG, Clairo. As the theme of the series has gone, "Throwaway" is this hazy glimmering downtempo production on its own, only to be further elevated by Clairo's sugary sweet vocals. Fitting perfectly with the Dawn aesthetic, it's reminiscent of the first few moments of sunrise.
If you're prepping to don a flower crown and dance your cares away in Indio at Coachella next month, be sure to catch SG Lewis' set as he'll be playing both weekends. In addition to the festival appearance, he'll also be performing in support of Jaden Smith at Shrine Expo Hall in LA on April 16th. More info below!

Q: zsh how to reload updated function definition I am unable to update a function definition in my zsh dotfiles.
Specifically, I have this in my ~/.zshrc
unalias cd 2>/dev/null # Prevent infinite loops if sourcing this file again in the same session
logged_cd() {
    cd "$@"
    pwd > ~/.last_cd
}

alias "cd"="logged_cd" # keep track of most recent directory

I want to update the logged_cd function
logged_cd() {
    cd "$@" && pwd > ~/.last_cd || return 1
}

So I updated my ~/.zshrc with the updated code, and did source ~/.zshrc but the old definition was still there.
I saw this one related question that suggested using unfunction which I tried, but that didn't work either.

Note that I also tried opening a new tab in my terminal so that zsh would be reloaded entirely but even in the new shell, it still is using the old function definition. Is something else going on here?

Monster Rancher Advance Review
Previous games in the Monster Rancher series may have been grander in size or graphical splendor, but Monster Rancher Advance may be the greatest entry yet for a number of reasons.
By Gerald Villoria on May 17, 2006 at 3:08PM PDT
The Monster Rancher series originally debuted on the Sony PlayStation, a year before the Pokémon craze truly caught on in the United States. The premise was an intriguing one--breed, train, and battle with monsters that you unlock by tapping into the hidden information found in your everyday music and game CDs. Endearing (and highly marketable) characters like Suezo, Mocchi, and Golem propelled the series into relative popularity among the rapidly growing "monster breeding" segment, prompting the release of a cartoon, a collectible card game, and an action figure series. At its heart, however, the Monster Rancher series has always been about thoroughly enjoyable games where players are compelled to hunt for obscure media in order to unlock powerful monsters and then develop a bond with their newfound digital companions. You might think that much of the charm of the series would be lost in the translation from Sony's disc-based systems to the cartridge format of the Game Boy Advance, but Tecmo has come up with an incredibly addicting formula in this compact version of Monster Rancher that, while not as robust as some of its predecessors, brings you a series of innovative changes in unison with all the elements that made the previous games so entertaining.
In Monster Rancher Advance, you play as a seasoned rancher on the Isle of Age, which is located in the world that has been home to the series since its inception. You are challenged to revitalize a dilapidated ranch belonging to your two new assistants, the brother and sister team of Zest and Aroma. To restore the Isle's ranch to glory, you'll need to raise a powerful monster and compete in a series of competitions, bringing in both cash and acclaim. Competing in official AGIMA tournaments will allow you to win increasingly larger monetary awards, which are necessary to purchase the food and items needed to properly raise monsters. To break up the routine of constant training and battling, frequent events will occur, including include stray monster attacks, cheesy love affairs, and a generous helping of sibling bickering.
Despite the somewhat entertaining story elements of the game, the focus is definitely on the training and battling of a multitude of unique monsters. While other games in the series used CDs or DVDs to unlock hidden monsters, Monster Rancher Advance derives its creature information from words and random combinations of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. At first you can start with four-digit alphanumeric combinations, like "Guns," which reveals a sub-breed of mocchi, and "Thug," which unveils a rose-hued golem named peachie, but as you progress through the game, larger combinations become available to you. The word "Monster" produces an feline nyamo, while "Ninja" generates a special creature--a black-clad chaser sub-breed with incredible statistics! Tecmo has seen fit to include many special monsters that are unveiled using both obscure and predictable keywords that may be found through trial and error or discovered on mysterious tablets within the game. This system of monster generation bestows upon players a veritably limitless potential for experimentation and removes the barriers that kept players without a sizable multimedia collection from tapping into all the hidden treasures of the previous games.
Raising monsters is simple enough in theory, but a lot of strategy is involved in raising a champion-class combatant. Every month, your monster is fed one of a variety of foods, which are rated for nutrition and taste, both relative to the current season and your monster's personal tastes. Keeping your monster's diet nutritious will allow it to perform well during training, while giving your monster food it enjoys will make it happier and more loyal--although spoiling your monster is also a consideration. Each monster is also rated in a series of categories, including power, accuracy, intelligence, speed, and life. These traits can be improved in a number of ways. AGIMA runs a training hall where a teacher will fight a mock battle with your monster, giving it a chance to earn both a sizable stat increase and knowledge of a new attack. Your monsters will gain experience after doing well in competition. Most often, however, your stats will be increased by training with available coaches, who themselves are specialized in one or two of the traits. Easier exercises will raise a single stat moderately, while tougher challenges will raise one stat greatly, raise another moderately, and reduce a third. To make matters more intriguing, the initial coaches provided by AGIMA are only ranked 400 out of 999 in their specialized trait, so your monsters won't receive the best training possible from them. Many players will find that in order to fully maximize their monster-raising capabilities, they'll need to raise monsters with the intent of turning them into coaches to replace the ones provided by AGIMA. Not all players will go this route, instead choosing to dive right into competitive play, but that's part of the beauty of Monster Rancher Advance--you get out of it as much as you put into it. There are plenty of rewards for diligent players who dedicate hours to developing their stable of monsters, while more casual gamers will be thoroughly enamored with the challenging combative elements.
Combat in the world of Monster Rancher is regularly held in gladiatorial arenas, and it hasn't changed much since the original PlayStation game. Monsters have access to power- and intelligence-based attacks, and they execute them through the expenditure of constantly replenishing points called guts. When two monsters square off, their guts begin at 50 and slowly rise toward the cap of 99. The more guts your monster has, the higher its chance of executing a successful attack or dodging its opponent's attacks. There are a number of different strategies that can be employed--you can save your guts for a single powerful attack or jab constantly at your opponent with weaker, more accurate blows. Each individual attack is ranked from E (worst) to S (best) for accuracy, damage, critical, and guts reduction. Further adding to the mix is the constant control over monster distance, which must be taken into consideration. Monsters can allocate different attacks to the near, mid, and far ranges, and staying at the proper distance is both an offensive and defensive struggle that plays out much like a game of tug-of-war. These battles are quite entertaining, and they often come down to a judge's decision by the slimmest of margins, as victories are based on the amount of damage dealt as a percentage of monster health. Best of all, monsters frozen at the studio in town can be used to compete with the greatest challenge of all: human opponents. Once all the accolades have been earned and all the championships have been won, you can still continue raising monsters for the sole purpose of taking on other players.
There are hundreds of different monsters to discover, not to mention a large assortment of special hidden varieties. Each monster is recorded in your book as it is discovered, as are the word used to unlock it and its individual statistics. It's really too bad that despite the wide variety available, not all the great monsters from the previous entries in the series made it to the handheld game. There are no hares, hengers, gels, or monols, and many of the subclasses of monsters that players have grown fond of fail to make an appearance. As a whole, the roster bears the most similarities to that of Monster Rancher 3 for the PlayStation 2. Also not available in Monster Rancher Advance are a number of the gameplay features that were part of previous editions, such as expeditions and obstacle-course-style training sessions. The training sessions themselves are relatively brief, and the animations get old real quick, but luckily you can skip immediately to the results.
Monster Rancher Advance can be quite challenging at times, especially since you don't have the save/reload function of the disc-based systems to rely upon. Some of the battles are particularly tough, as the AI can be quite brutal at times, and the odds are often enough stacked heavily against you. Some of the stats for monsters of your rank are quite ludicrously high, although these fights are all the more rewarding when won. The challenge level of the game can also be scaled as desired--players who want a more challenging game should use the original coaches and weaker initial monsters, while those having trouble should spend time developing masterful coaches and may want to use one of the powerful special monsters. Aside from running out of funds, there is no repercussion for training a monster poorly, and you can never "lose" in Monster Rancher Advance--you can only end up starting more or less from scratch. Tecmo has also seen fit to eliminate monster death, so while your monsters will grow old, eventually forced into coaching positions or retirement, they'll never quite kick the bucket. While it was particularly gut-wrenching to lose a beloved monster in previous versions of the game, players may be torn as to whether this is a positive or negative change.
Graphically, Monster Rancher Advance uses attractive sprites to represent the monsters, and they're drawn in a nicely detailed manner that may even trick some players into thinking they're polygonal in nature. There are numerous attractive still images used for the many backgrounds representing various locales and seasons, and they are capably drawn throughout. While training on the ranch, small sprites representing frogs and rabbits will mill about and smile. When one of the story sequences begins and the NPC heads begin facially gesticulating along with their text, the number of frames of animation is particularly impressive, easily rivaling the animation used in the PlayStation games. The monsters are attractive and stay true to their previous likenesses, but it's a shame that there aren't more appreciable visual and gameplay differences between the different monster sub-breeds.
The music down on the ranch seems to stay the same throughout the length of your stay, so despite its soothing melodies, the requisite long sessions of play inherently make them feel repetitive. The battle theme is fast-paced and enjoyable, nicely rousing you into both tension and excitement. On the sound front, the individual monster cries sound great and are suitably different from one another--allowing you to grow just a bit more attached to your current monster as it thanks you for a particularly delicious meal or stunning victory.
Previous games in the Monster Rancher series may have been grander in size or graphical splendor, but Monster Rancher Advance may be the greatest entry yet for a number of reasons. Gone are the despicable load times and the tedium of popping open a CD tray or console lid, swapping CDs, and waiting for monster information to load, only to swap again. The process of monster generation is now absolutely painless and far more interactive than simply making use of your CD collection. When you think of a particularly clever word and are rewarded with a new monster type or the all-important special monster, the feeling is quite rewarding. That Monster Rancher Advance is the first portable entry in the series, and thus most likely to inspire bouts of intense human competition, is the icing on the cake. Monster Rancher provides a thoroughly addicting experience unique to the Game Boy Advance that can be enjoyed by die-hard fans of the series and newcomers alike.

Why tornadoes are among a hurricane's potent threats
6September19
Hurricane Dorian wasn't the only vortex that the southeastern US had to worry about this week. The cyclone spawned tornadoes in parts of the Carolinas — typical of hurricanes that get enough of their circulation over land.
At least 24 tornado reports were made in South Carolina and North Carolina as the hurricane hit those states.
Tornadoes are common in the thunderstorm bands of hurricanes and tropical storms, especially in the right-front quadrant of the system. The tornadoes tend to be short-lived and can come with little, if any, warning.
Here are some things to know about twisters in hurricanes:
Hurricanes with circulation over land are conducive to tornadoes …
Nearly all tropical cyclones that reach the United States produce at least one tornado, "provided enough of the … cyclone's circulation moves over land," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says.
Why? Tornadoes thrive, in part, on strong vertical shear, which means a difference in horizontal winds' direction and speed at different heights. And tropical cyclones offer a lot of vertical shear.
… especially in the front-right quadrant (in the Northern Hemisphere).
In the Northern Hemisphere, this vertical shear is especially pronounced in a tropical cyclone's front-right (generally the northeast) quadrant.
That's because, in this hemisphere, a cyclone rotates counterclockwise, and on the east side of the storm, the "outer bands come on shore at an angle typically bringing winds from the southeast," CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said.
Meanwhile, winds in higher levels of the atmosphere generally come from the west or southwest in the United States.
"So, usually the eastern side of the storm has winds opposite of the winds aloft, so that's where you have high levels of (vertical) shear," Ward said.
They're often well away from the cyclone's eye …
Most tornadoes happen in a tropical cyclone's outer rain bands, about 50 to 300 miles from the center, though some have been spawned near the inner core, NOAA says.
Tornadoes from a tropical cyclone might be a little weaker, and dissipate faster, than a tornado spawned at, say, higher latitudes, such as in the US Central Plains.
That's because other than vertical shear, tornadoes thrive on an unstable atmosphere — and for tropical cyclones, thermal instability happens mostly at a lower height than for storms at higher latitudes.
So, the tornado-producing storm cells from a hurricane "tend to be smaller and shallower," according to NOAA.
… but they pop up with relatively little warning.
The combination of shear and instability that a hurricane offers still produces small supercell storms that are more likely to spawn tornadoes than ordinary thunderstorm cells, NOAA said.
And hurricane-produced tornadoes can form quickly and dissipate quickly. "There's not a ton of warning to them," Ward said.
In a hurricane's outer bands, tornadoes represent a burst of concentrated destruction in an area that otherwise might not see the devastating levels of wind produced by the hurricane's core.

Clouds from Microsoft, Google, Alibaba all booming, but they still can't touch Amazon
By Matt Asay in Cloud on February 2, 2018, 6:13 AM PST
Every cloud vendor is targeting AWS, but they don't seem to be landing any blows. Does it matter, given the low-hanging fruit elsewhere in the market?
Video: 3 big misconceptions about the public cloud for business Every enterprise company needs the cloud but few understand the technical details. TechRepublic contributor Matt Asay explains big misconceptions about the cloud, and how to avoid common pitfalls.
The cloud natives are getting restless. After years of Amazon Web Services (AWS) domination, rival cloud providers are finally putting up real resistance, with Microsoft, Alibaba, and Google each reporting roughly 100% revenue growth in their respective earnings reports. AWS, operating at much higher scale (roughly $20 billion run rate), reported 45% growth, a tick up from its last quarter of 42% growth.
In other words, the cloudy rich keep getting richer, dropping the also rans off the pace line. But AWS is getting richest of all, and there still doesn't seem to be a sign of that changing anytime soon. Even so, the market is expanding at such a rate that the big cloud vendors seem to have no impediments to grow massive businesses, even if it's not at AWS's expense.
Let's hide the budget ball
According to KeyBanc analysis, AWS is dropping market share even as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud gain. By its estimates, AWS slipped six percentage points, from 68% market share in Q3 2016 to 62% in Q3 2017. In the same period, Microsoft Azure climbed from 16% to 20%, while Google moved up to 10% from 12%. Good for them, bad for AWS, right?
For one thing, not everyone comes up with the same market share data. Gartner, for example, shows AWS increasing share over the same period of time that KeyBanc has it falling. It's not surprising that they'd differ, as getting at the real revenue data is impossible. Of the major cloud vendors, only AWS breaks out its actual IaaS/PaaS revenues. Microsoft and Google bury theirs in larger catch-all categories, so estimates as to actual revenue are just that: Guesses. AWS may have lost market share to its competitors, but we don't actually know for certain.
SEE: Cloud migration decision tool (Tech Pro Research)
Google CEO Sundar Pichai says Google's cloud revenue now tops $1 billion each quarter, but that "cloud" number includes G Suite, which almost certainly makes up the majority. That $1 billion number was a first for Google and was reported, in Google Cloud chief Diane Greene's words, because people were "grossly underestimating" its cloud revenue and it's "proud" of the number. If it's so proud, maybe it should report the number standalone rather than hiding it.
By adding together Google's G Suite and Google Cloud revenues into one big $1 billion number, Google clarified exactly nothing. Estimates for G Suite revenue run as low as $100 million each quarter (back in 2015) to $1.5 billion each quarter (tallied in 2017). Is the real number closer to $100 million or $1 billion? No one knows, though Gartner pegged total Google Cloud revenue at $500 million in 2016, which Google doubled in 2017. So that would mean roughly $250-300 million of its total cloud revenue could be for Google Cloud. If so, that's great, but it would be even better if Google offered real clarity instead of fake clarity.
Not that Microsoft is any better in its reporting. Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud business includes infrastructure, productivity, and other business services. Most of the $5.3 billion it booked is not the kind of cloud revenue AWS generates.
Predator or prey?
Even though it's true that the other big clouds are growing revenue faster than AWS, they're doing so on much, much smaller bases. As Dremio CMO Kelly Stirman styled it: "Running 100% further when you're at 2 miles is a lot easier than when you're at 20." Over time, the growth rates for every big cloud vendor have fallen, as CNBC's Jordan Novet illustrated in a tweet. Not only is it easier to generate outsized growth rates on smaller revenue bases, but it also doesn't mean these companies are catching up with the leader.
SEE: All of Amazon's 2017 operating income comes from AWS (ZDNet)
It's far more likely that Microsoft, Google, and Alibaba are taking share from IBM, Oracle, Rackspace, and other second-tier clouds than from AWS. As the cloud market has revved up, a clear demarcation has emerged between the cloud-haves and the cloud-have nots. A vast wasteland now separates them, such that "second-tier" is actually too generous—as Gartner's data indicates, everyone except Rackspace is a rounding error besides AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Alibaba.
Which is unfortunate, really, because the opportunity is massive. Amazon now pays for almost its entire business with the profits from AWS. Microsoft is being reborn through Azure. Google and Alibaba, though still a small part of their parent companies' overall businesses, represent diversification and momentum that each company needs. AWS remains the undisputed leader, and a still relatively unchallenged one. But for each of these big-four cloud giants, they're so far able to win, and win big in every case, by marauding the also-rans for market share. Eventually they'll collide in serious ways, but for now growth opportunities are legion...if you're one of the dominant vendors.

FDA has issued a Class I recall notice relating to Teleflex subsidiary Arrow International's Multi-Lumen Venous Catheterisation Set, following the company's May Field Corrective Action Letter.
On May 3, Arrow international Inc. sent its distributors an Urgent Field Correction Action letter asking for the quarantining of any affected inventory of product manufactured from June 28, 2010 through March 4, 2012 and distributed from December 9, 2010 through February 29, 2012. Part and Lot numbers affected are available on the FDA's recall page here.
Apparently the device's labeling erroneously states that the product "contains no medication," while in reality the device contains chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine. Additionally, the product's label is missing the appropriate chlorhexidine contraindication.
According to the recall notice, if a patient with a known or unknown allergy/sensitivity to chlorhexidine or silver sulfadiazine/sulfa drug is exposed to this product, there is the potential for an allergic reaction such as a delayed rash, hives or potentially an immediate Type 1, IgE mediated anaphylaxis (loss of blood pressure, bronchospasm and vascular collapse).
This product may cause serious adverse health consequences, including death, if used in a patient who is allergic to either chlorhexidine or silver sulfadiazine, which is why the recall has been tagged Class I, the most serious type and reserved for situations in which there is a reasonable probability that use of the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
