Ter Apelkanaal

|}
|}

De provinciale weg 366 (N366) is een provinciale weg in de provincies Groningen en Drenthe. De weg vormt een verbinding tussen de N33 nabij Veendam en de Duitse grens bij Ter Apel. Tussen Boven Pekela en Musselkanaal verloopt de weg parallel aan het A.G. Wildervanckkanaal.

De weg is over de gehele lengte uitgevoerd als regionale tweestrooks-stroomweg (autoweg) met een maximumsnelheid van 100 km/h. Tussen Veendam en Boven Pekela heet de weg Provincialeweg, het overige deel heet A.G. Wildervanckweg (naar Adriaan Geerts Wildervanck). Bij de lokale bevolking is de weg echter bekend als de S10, naar het nummer waaronder de weg opgenomen was in de provinciale wegenplannen tot aan de invoering van de Wet herverdeling wegenbeheer in 1993.

Tot 2018 voerde de provincie Groningen werkzaamheden aan het gehele traject uit om de veiligheid op de weg te vergroten. Hiertoe behoren het ongelijkvloers maken van alle aansluitingen, het verbreden van de weg en tussen de N33 en de N367 het verdubbelen van het aantal rijbanen.

Aan de Duitse grens gaat de weg over in de B408, een belangrijke verbindingsweg naar de A31, waarmee snel Twente en het Duitse Ruhrgebied kunnen worden bereikt.

Volgens de 'Monitor Verkeer en Vervoer' 2004-2005 neemt de verkeersintensiteit toe met circa 1-5% per jaar, hetgeen een normale ontwikkeling is in Nederland.

Q: Grouping report columns I have the following data loaded in to crystal report
ID  Name            Amt     Cat_1   Cat_2
==  ====            =====   =====   =====
001 CASH            20.00   NULL    NULL
001 CASH            30.00   NULL    NULL
001 CASH            44.00   NULL    NULL
002 CHEQUE          110.00  001     NULL
003 ELECR TRASFERS  6.00    001     NULL

I want to group these records by their ID and the amount field should then be totaled. It needs to be like when we do a standard GROUP BY ID on SQL.
I used the group expert on Crystal Report & Selected the ID field from the drop-down. Then the grouping worked properly but the Amt is shown as 20 instead it needs to be 94.

A: If you need to get the Sum don't place the amt in group header which will pick only first value.
To get the required outout place the amt in detail and take sum in group footer.

Let's face it, this page has said the new SwimAZ.com coming soon for quite some time. I do hope to someday revive this site and make it everything it could be, but currently there isn't enough time in the day.
The only page of value currently up is the time converter, which did win about.com's "best of the net" award. Thank you about.com.
To see what I have been up to take a peak at my personal site (also feeling abandoned these days).


On 28 December I received a WhatsApp group message that made my heart sink. It included a link to an article from the Middle East Eye about an incident that occurred in Battir, in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, just after midnight on Christmas Eve: a time likely chosen in full awareness that many of the Palestinian residents – both Muslim and Christian – would be celebrating.
When I had decided I would visit Palestine in October 2018, it was because I wanted to change my feelings about the place. As the daughter of a Palestinian mother who was born in Haifa and lived there until 1948, after the Partition of Palestine and the creation of Israel, any thoughts or news of Palestine had always left me feeling either rage or deep sadness, mixed with a strong sense of impotence.
I wanted to allow myself to feel other emotions that were less polarised. I hoped that going to Palestine would give me more of a sense of the people and the rich culture of that ancient place. Having grown up in England, I spoke no Arabic. Nor had I ever touched Palestinian soil. I wanted to hear people say 'yalla' in the way that my mother did, hear the call to prayer, see the streets, churches and mosques, discover how Palestinians experience their daily lives under occupation, taste more of the food – of course! – and maybe even pick an olive or two.
I did all that and more. Organised by Amos Trust, a UK charity, the tour gave me experiences that were amazing, moving and also confronting. I saw the Separation Wall, visited the Banksy hotel and museum, heard stories directly from Palestinians about living under occupation, and experienced their generous hospitality and food. Palestinian food is delicious, plentiful and hugely significant as a means of sharing friendship and sustain family gatherings.
One of the most moving experiences of the trip was meeting Hassan and Vivien, two co-workers who live in Battir. They warmly welcomed us to the village, showed us around the terraces, and gave us a sumptuous meal in the evening before we returned to our hotel in Bethlehem.
Battir is a village of some five thousand Palestinians that lies between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, in the Occupied Territories. Its steep landscape was long ago turned into arable farming and olive-tree planting, using some of the oldest known agricultural practices in the world. These unique characteristics earned Battir a listing by UNESCO as World Heritage Site in 2014. The village was also included in the List of World Heritage in Danger, due to Israeli Defense Ministry plans to build the Separation Wall through the village. As a result, these plans were dropped.
Now, two months after my visit, I was crying into my morning tea as I read how – in the early hours of Christmas Eve – armed Jewish settlers had set up camp on the hills of Battir and started building the structure for a settlement, with the clear intention of displacing the Palestinian villagers and with the support of the Israeli military.
The villagers stood on the surrounding hills and watched in shock, not daring to approach the settlers for fear of being shot at. It was their worst nightmare. They began to phone around, seeking help from both Palestinian and Israeli lawyers, officials, human rights groups and activists. As a result of these efforts, in the afternoon the settlers were made to dismantle their camp and leave the area.
The fear among the villagers is that the settlers will return – indeed, they shouted as much as they left. Like so many residents of the villages in the West Bank, the people of Battir live under Israeli occupation and the constant threat of seeing their homes demolished. Their fear, and mine, is that next time the settlers arrive, Battir may not be protected, despite its World Heritage status, and despite the world voicing – albeit in a quiet voice, certainly not a very loud one – the illegality of the West Bank settlements.
Nadine is of British/Palestinian heritage and resides in Brisbane. She is a retired psychotherapist and an emerging writer of literary fiction.
What a beautifully written story. The tragedy of Palestine comes into focus when we are able to concentrate on a family within a small community known to the writer. I cannot imagine how it would feel to fear for your homeland and count my blessings daily.
Nädine evokes the fruitful spirit of Batir, a place that demonstrates what a beautiful place independent Palestine could be.
A profoundly moving story sadly not uncommon for the Palestinians who live in daily fear of the demolishment of their homes by the Israelis and the uprooting of their way of life. This is a subject that should be aired more in the world media.

Rover Metals Announces Increase to Previously Reported Intervals at Andrew Zone, Cabin Gold Project, NT, Canada
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE:4XO) ("Rover" or the "Company") is pleased to report, that further to its release on January 13, 2022, the gold mineralization at the Andrew Zone does extend past the primary sulfide intervals in the drill core. The Company has received its new December 2021 samples back from the lab and is pleased to be reporting longer mineralized intervals at the Andrew Zone South, and Andrew Zone North.
Andrew Zone South
The Company is now reporting significant intervals of:
7.4m of 1.64 g/t Au (from 63.1m to 70.5m) at hole CL-21-25, or an increase of approximately 5m to the previously reported interval;
2.3m of 1.21 g/t Au (from 53.0m to 55.3m) closer to surface in hole CL-21-25;
4.5m of 2.62 g/t Au (from 50.4m to 55.1m) at hole CL-21-24 (which previously reported 3.9m of 2.91 g/t Au);
The updated cross-sections for holes CL-21-24 and CL-21-25 will be available on Rover's website in the coming days.
Andrew Zone North
The Company is now reporting a significant interval of:
6.4m of 1.88 g/t Au (from 37.6m to 44.0m) at hole CL-21-29, or an increase of approximately 3m to the previously reported interval
Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states, "the Andrew Zone has a surface strike length of approximately 800m from south to north, and is open at depth. Follow-up drilling is needed to further delineate this zone at depth."
Updated Tables of Significant Drill Results
Hole Sample ID From To Interval Au g/t Zone
CL-21-24 Y031579 50.37 51.00 0.63 0.78 Andrew South
CL-21-24 V748102 51.00 51.50 0.50 2.77 Andrew South
CL-21-29 V748153 37.60 38.00 0.40 2.72 Andrew North

Mask diplomacy: a novel form of statecraft?
Darren Lim 1 May 2020 Influence
Is China's 'mask diplomacy' a novel form of statecraft? At first glance, it might not look that distinct from humanitarian assistance delivered to victims of natural disasters. Yet there are several notable differences that make this emerging practice worthy of closer attention. The strategic effectiveness of Beijing's 'mask diplomacy' remains unclear and somewhat dubious. If anything, its emergence highlights the prospect that humanitarian aid is taking on increasingly strategic dimensions.
Features of 'mask diplomacy'
In recent weeks, 'mask diplomacy' has become part of daily conversations around COVID-19. The concept describes deliveries of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as facemasks, and medical equipment like ventilators, to countries facing shortages amid the COVID-19 global pandemic.
What are its novel, or at least notable features? First, the term 'mask diplomacy' is typically used in Western media to describe efforts by China to provide supplies to other countries, which began only after the Chinese government had mostly stabilised the outbreak at home. China is cast as the primary practitioner of 'mask diplomacy,' despite the fact that it was itself an early recipient of medical supplies, with the European Union, Japan and the United States all early donors.
Indeed, perhaps the first mention of the term 'mask diplomacy' came on 4 March on a Project Syndicate blog post by Yoichi Funabashi about American populism in Japan, in which the author mentioned how the movement of PPE between Japan to China in both directions could help improve a (then) warming bilateral relationship.
Second, China's mask diplomacy is receiving widespread, real-time, and critical scrutiny, for several reasons that are relatively novel in themselves. For one thing, some of the key recipients are wealthy Western countries, creating an unfamiliar 'South to North' dynamic. More significantly, the practice is refracted through the broader strategic lens of geopolitical rivalry, including China's rise and global ambitions, a declining and politically polarised United States, and a fracturing Europe.
Third, it seems quite apparent that Beijing has a specific strategic objective around COVID-19 that is shaping much of its international activities at present, from mask diplomacy to institutional manoeuvring, to propaganda campaigns. That objective is to shift the narrative away from one that focuses on the origins of the virus in Wuhan, and the initial missteps by the Chinese authorities in containing it. The Chinese Communist Party wants to replace this with a narrative in which Beijing's (eventual) response in locking down much of the country provided the world with effective, if not uniformly desirable, methods for controlling the virus, representing a significant win for China's authoritarian model of governance, which other countries might want to emulate.
Strategic effectiveness unclear
Of course, honourable intentions at least partially motivate most forms of humanitarian assistance, and 'mask diplomacy' is no different. Typically, the short-term gains sought by donors of humanitarian assistance are stabilising crisis situations and improving welfare. Nevertheless, national interest and strategic considerations will inevitably influence government decision making even in the most benevolent of cases, typically via seeking to build longer-term goodwill and influence. While China's 'mask diplomacy' is thus not wholly new, it is nevertheless novel in the sense that narrow interests are so prominent and actions directed towards achieving a short-term strategic outcome.
To evaluate the strategic effectiveness of China's 'mask diplomacy' we need to ask at least two questions. First, is it causing political leaders in recipient governments to make policy decisions that they wouldn't otherwise make that favour the donor's interests? And second, is it building goodwill among the general public, or key interest groups, that will affect policy decisions of the recipient country in the future? (The latter being a valid measure of whether this form of economic statecraft is effective or not.)
On the first question, aside from some cringeworthy platitudes, such as we saw from the Serbian Prime Minister (kissing the Chinese flag when the first shipments of China's medical aid arrived), no government appears to have made concrete policy decisions that obviously favour Beijing. This is no surprise given the universal focus on suppressing the pandemic and the short time that has elapsed since the diplomacy began. But if, for example, 'mask diplomacy' can subsequently be linked to a government deciding to adopt Chinese company Huawei as a supplier in their 5G networks, that would be a clear success. For the moment, however, news out of the United Kingdom suggests one government at least leaning in the other direction.
On the second question, it is probably too early to accurately measure public reactions, but opposing forces are likely at play. On one hand, Beijing's overall campaign has endured some high-profile missteps, such as faulty equipment being provided by Chinese suppliers, Chinese diplomats endorsing conspiracy theories, and direct efforts being made to procure overt praise for its COVID-19 response. Moreover, international media has done an excellent job in reporting on how Chinese authorities were slow to respond to warning signs in January.
On the other hand, Donald Trump and the Republican Party have been ramping up their criticism of China for its early failings, likely as part of a re-election strategy. Their ill-judged and widely criticised efforts to insist on labelling COVID-19 the "Chinese" or "Wuhan" virus, as well as Trump's own bizarre public statements about the virus, can only serve to bolster the perceived professionalism and functionality of the alternative Chinese approach.
Strategic aid
Ultimately, it may simply be that the people of the world are too inwardly focused, on their own efforts to contain the virus and manage the economic and social crises it is creating, to pay any real attention to the "high politics" of 'mask diplomacy'. It does, however, raise the prospect that the range of generous actions by countries is taking on increasingly strategic dimensions. Such is the reality of greater contestation and rivalry in international affairs today.

Monterey Pop: Remembered, Celebrated But Never Duplicated
By Krista Almanzan • Jun 15, 2017
Monterey International Pop Festival at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in 1967

Larry Chavez works on a poster that he will sell at the Monterey International Pop Festival's this weekend.
It's hard to imagine a time when no one really knew Jimi Hendrix. But the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival was that time. When Hendrix took the stage that summer, he hadn't made his mark on the American music scene.
That all changed when he finished his set with his song Wild Thing. That's when Hendrix became legend for lighting his guitar on fire.
Janis Joplin was another big name who was virtually unknown until she made her appearance at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. She blew the audience away with her band Big Brother & The Holding Company.
"Right then and there, I knew and she knew that she was big. And she was going on from there bigger," says Penny Vierrege who attended the three day festival that celebrated rock 'n roll.
Many of the musicians, mostly unknown at the time, went on to become superstars. And the event itself became a model for future festivals like Woodstock and Coachella. It was a one time event until now. This weekend the 50th anniversary will be celebrated with a return of the Monterey Pop.
Of the original, Vierrege remembers booths selling crystals, strangers handing out flowers and a man and his pregnant wife who set up a teepee in the middle of the fairgrounds.
"Mostly I was wandering around stoned, you know, appreciating everything," says Vierrege. And of course, there was the music of The Mamas & the Papas, Grateful Dead and The Who.
"It had the cream of it all. LA, England, San Francisco and there was just so much love. So much incredible love," she recalls.
Vierrege is now 88 and living in Big Sur. An original poster from the Monterey Pop hangs from the ceiling in her home. She pulls a record off her shelf of LPs. It's Live: Ravi Shankar at the Monterey International Pop Festival. The album cover has faded with time, but there she is in the corner practically on stage. Her face is beaming with joy.
Vierrege's late husband, Paul, was stage manager for the Monterey Pop, just as he was for the Monterey Jazz Festival. She says as a rule she generally stayed in the audience.
"Well I'm sitting there watching all of these chickies hanging from the set and around and stuff like that, all the followers. And I said to my husband, on Sunday afternoon, I'm going to be on that stage. Ravi is my man, and I'm going to be as close as possible," she says.
Also in the audience throughout the three day festival were the performers themselves. "There was no social media before that, so a lot of these performers had never spoken to or seen a performance by the other artists," says Lou Adler is one of the co-producers of the original Monterey Pop.
The idea behind the event was to bring respect to rock 'n roll, as an art form. And it did that. Adler says after all these performers got together they were empowered..
"Up until that time, the record companies pretty much dictated how many albums you would do, what the theme would be, what the cover would look like, how it would be marketed. That all changed after Monterey," says Adler.
He says right away they knew it was such an iconic event that it could never be repeated. That said there are connections between 1967 and this weekend's Monterey International Pop Festival (June 16-18, 2017).
Eric Burdon and the Animals who played at the original take the stage on Friday. Norah Jones will perform Saturday night. She's Ravi Shankar's daughter. And Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead, which also played the original Monterey Pop, will close out the show on Sunday night.
Larry Chavez for one can't wait to be there. He was too young to make the first. He owns the Monterey Rock and Roll Experience, a memorabilia shop in Monterey. He'll have a booth at the event.
"I want everybody to come with open mind. Many of the groups that are coming. They're in their 20s. just like it was back in 67. A lot of those groups were unknown. They were in their 20s and they had the whole world before them. And hopefully that in itself would honor the past," says Chavez.

The 50th anniversary of the Monterey International Pop Festival will be marked with a return of the event later this month. The original Monterey Pop not only became the model for later festivals like Woodstock and Coachella, it also launched the careers of rock legends like Jimi Hendrix and the photographers who were there to capture the moment.
A Look Back At Monterey Pop, 50 Years Later
By editor • Jun 15, 2017
In the 21st century, destination music festivals seem like a dime a dozen. But just 50 years ago, there was only one: the Monterey International Pop Festival, which featured more than 30 artists and bands playing over the course of three days in the summer of 1967.
Monterey Pop set the template for all the huge rock festivals that would follow — Woodstock, Coachella, Bonnaroo and all the rest — and its influence would spread even further via a documentary, Monterey Pop, that was helmed by D.A. Pennebaker and would set a gold standard for concert films.
Monterey Pop: A Time to Disconnect to Reconnect

The Monterey International Pop Festival half a century ago was iconic. It launched the careers of some legendary musicians and created a blueprint for future music festivals. The producers of this weekend's 50th anniversary of Monterey Pop never set out to recreate the original, but did find ways to celebrate it. And they also set the festival apart from other music festivals today.

Gun owners in Maryland say they're targeted by cops making traffic stops
byTeresa Mull
Maryland has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and does not recognize handgun permits issued by other states. Recently, stories of out-of-state gun owners who say they have been unjustly targeted by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) for minor traffic violations because they have concealed weapons permits are mounting, The Washington Times reports.
The Times recounts the example of Florida-resident John Filippidis, who was stopped last year on Christmas Eve while driving south on Interstate 95 through Maryland. His children and wife were separated in the back seats of different police cruisers while the officers searched Filippidis' vehicle for his handgun, which was left locked-up in Florida.
Filippidis got off with only a speeding warning. MDTA apologized for the incident, but investigations found that the stop was lawful and within protocol. Filippidis' story did prompt other out-of-state gun owners who have had similar experiences to question whether they've been targeted.
The Times reports that Paul Kramer, a Baltimore-based criminal defense lawyer and former deputy U.S. attorney for Maryland, "says these type of stops and searches happen far too often in Maryland and are a waste of taxpayer money."


Right now I'm at the Capital Center, home of the OSU Extension Service here in Beaverton, Oregon. I've been helping out a great group of kids and teachers as part of the 4-H TechWizards program (see this set of photos on Flickr from the night we were at Intel Oregon's Information Center). This is a group of high school age kids who are interested in technology, and this particular crew is focusing on podcasting.
I've met with them a few times, talking about how to record a podcast, and they've got recorders and show ideas, and have been out recording and publishing shows. I set up an instance of WordPress for them to publish from at www.4hwizardspace.org, and you can see the fruit of our labors.
Today is an all day workshop that the kids are teaching for other 4-H students and faculty. They're teaching about what a podcast is, how to record one, and how to publish. I'm just hanging around as an advisor/assistant.

Independent Homeless Veterans Campaign launched
Veterans Aid is one of two charities chosen to benefit from a major media campaign to raise funds for homeless veterans.
The Independent newspaper titles, London Live and London Evening Standard have teamed up with VA and ABF The Soldiers Charity to raise awareness and funding tackle the issues.
25th November 2014: The Independent, The Independent on Sunday, i, London Evening Standard and London Live have launched today their Homeless Veterans Christmas campaign in association with ABF The Soldiers' Charity and Veterans Aid.
Following on from the success of last year's campaign, which raised £500,000 for Space for Giants, an organisation fighting to save the African elephant from extinction, ESI media have pledged their support to a cause closer to home. Both The Soldiers' Charity and Veterans Aid work to support veterans who are struggling and at risk of falling into homelessness, as well as reaching out to those who were homeless but are now re-building their lives.
The fundraising efforts will include an online auction, powered by Ebay, which will take place through December and into January. Readers will be able to bid for a variety of exclusive lots, including lunch with an editor, a personalised front page, and a game of chess against The Independent's Grandmaster John Speelman.
Aside from this, readers can also be in a chance to bid for a tour with De Beers of the world's richest diamond mine in Botswana, a private tour of Edinburgh Castle with lunch served in the officers' mess, and a visit to the iconic manufacturing home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood. The renowned Connor Brothers, and ex-serviceman turned artist Michael Crossan, have also donated superb artwork to the cause.
Evgeny Lebedev, owner of The Independent and London Evening Standard, said "I believe campaigns are the heart of journalism: they unite people behind vital causes. Servicemen and women risk their lives doing things most of us simply aren't brave enough to do. On the front line there is an old rule, about not leaving anyone behind. About picking up the fallen. If these brave men and women sometimes need us – whom they have fought to protect – to stoop to pick them up and help them on their way, it should be both an obligation and a humble honour to do so."
Dr Hugh Milroy PhD, CEO of Veterans Aid said, "We are delighted to be a beneficiary of the Evening Standard and Independent Group's campaign, not just because it will help fund our work of providing immediate support to veterans in crisis, but because it will raise awareness of the many practical ways in which we can help. Ex-servicemen and women become homeless for the same reasons as everyone else, but they have unique access to help. Veterans Aid is the A&E of the veterans world and if members of the military community seek our help before things get desperate we can prevent homelessness happening."
Major General (Ret'd) Martin Rutledge, Chief Executive ABF The Soldiers' Charity said, "Media attention is often drawn away from our soldiers once military operations are over. With the Evening Standard and Independent Group's campaign, we will see the hidden issues that our veterans face when returning to civilian life brought to the fore. As a Charity, access to adequate and appropriate housing is one of our key priorities, so the support that this campaign will provide will greatly assist us in addressing it."
The Independent was launched in 1986 and is one of the only national newspapers free from proprietorial influence. Its reputation for unbiased and serious reporting has won it international acclaim. In the UK it has a current headline circulation of 61,527 and together with sister paper i, now commands a bigger circulation than The Guardian, reaching more than 345,816 reader a days. The Independent's Editor is Amol Rajan. Sister paper i was launched 2010 and is edited by Oliver Duff. The Independent on Sunday is edited by Lisa Markwell.
London Live is London's first TV channel, offering Londoners the latest in arts, news, current affairs, sports, and events. London Live is owned by ESTV.
ESTV won the London television franchise auction in February 2013. London Live launched 31st March 2014. It is on Freeview 8, YouView 8, Sky 117 and Virgin 159 as well as being available in non-linear digital formats. ESTV is 100% owned by Lebedev Holdings.

Iran is not seeking permission from anyone to enhance its defensive capabilities and defend the interests of the country and the nation, said the Chief of Staff of Armed Forces Major-General Mohammad-Hossein Baqeri on Sunday.
On IRGC's unveiling of a missile building facility in Iranian southwestern Iranian city of Dezful, he said that there was a delicate tip in this unveiling as something was unveiled that the Zionist leaders and their intelligence agencies that claim to be aware of anything were not aware of.
"We displayed one of the things that they didn't know about and there are tens of other things that no one in the world is aware of," the general said.

One strain had a normal capacity for nucleotide excision repair, the second exhibited an intermediate rate of repair, and the third, derived from a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum, had no ability to repair UV- or 1-nitrosopyrene-induced DNA damage [1].
Percentages of incidences of mammary adenocarcinomas in female rats were as follows: 1-nitropyrene, high dose (63%); 1-nitropyrene, low dose (42%); 1-nitrosopyrene (19%); 1-aminopyrene (4%) trioctanoin (3%) [2].
In Salmonella the limiting step in the metabolic activation of 1-nitropyrene appears to be the initial reduction to 1-nitrosopyrene, while with the dinitropyrenes subsequent esterification of the reduced intermediates seems critical [3].
These data indicate that a limiting step in the cellular toxicity and transformation of normal human diploid fibroblasts by 1-nitropyrene is the initial reduction to 1-nitrosopyrene [4].
The mutagenicity of 1-nitropyrene and its reduced metabolite 1-nitrosopyrene was determined in the lambda cI gene of an Escherichia coli uvr- lysogen [5].
Site-specific excision repair of 1-nitrosopyrene-induced DNA adducts at the nucleotide level in the HPRT gene of human fibroblasts: effect of adduct conformation on the pattern of site-specific repair [6].
To see if site-specific DNA repair is a common phenomenon for bulky DNA adducts, we determined the rate of repair of 1-nitrosopyrene (1-NOP)-induced adducts in exon 3 of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase gene at the nucleotide level using ligation-mediated PCR [6].
Kinds and spectrum of mutations induced by 1-nitrosopyrene adducts during plasmid replication in human cells [7].
Comparative tumorigenicity of 1-nitropyrene, 1-nitrosopyrene, and 1-aminopyrene administered by gavage to Sprague-Dawley rats [2].
The results indicate a specificity for the induction of mutations in the hprt gene of CHO cells by 1-nitrosopyrene with respect to both the types of mutations produced and their location in the hprt gene [8].
When the reducer column was introduced just after the separation column, 1-NP, 1-nitrosopyrene and 1-aminopyrene in the incubation mixture of 1-NP and the Salmonella typhimurium YG1021 strain were separately determined with detection limits as low as sub fmol levels [9].
Effect of nucleotide excision repair in human cells on intrachromosomal homologous recombination induced by UV and 1-nitrosopyrene [1].
Treatment of normal human diploid fibroblasts with 0.3-22 microM 1-nitrosopyrene resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in relative cloning efficiency and an increase in anchorage-independent growth in soft agar [4].
DNA sequence analysis of 1-nitrosopyrene-induced mutations in the hprt gene of Chinese hamster ovary cells [8].
Using polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA synthesized from RNA, the hprt protein-coding region could be amplified from 23 of the 1-nitrosopyrene-induced mutants and 11 of the control mutants [10].
Chinese hamster ovary cells were exposed to N-hydroxy-2-aminofluorene, N-hydroxy-N'-acetylbenzidine and 1-nitrosopyrene, and the resulting DNA adducts, sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase locus were quantified [11].
Kinds and locations of mutations induced in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase gene of human T-lymphocytes by 1-nitrosopyrene, including those caused by V(D)J recombinase [12].
When incubations were conducted with rat liver cytosol, only the reduced products 1-nitrosopyrene and 1-aminopyrene were detected [13].
The two N2-deoxyguanosinyl adducts were also identified in an ascorbic acid-catalyzed activation of 1-nitrosopyrene and in the mammary gland of female Sprague-Dawley rats administered 1-nitropyrene [14].
The major DNA adduct produced by 1-nitropyrene and 1-nitrosopyrene in calf thymus DNA co-migrated on h.p.l.c., and the structure was consistent with that previously described by others as N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-1-aminopyrene [15].
Since reduction of 1-nitrosopyrene was necessary to get appreciable DNA binding in vitro, further reduction of 1-nitrosopyrene to N-hydroxy-1-aminopyrene is probably required in the activation pathway [16].
A single DNA adduct, N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-1-aminopyrene, is produced in CHO cells treated with 1-nitrosopyrene, and this adduct is found in rats and mice exposed to 1-nitropyrene [10].
Relationships between the DNA adducts and the mutations and sister-chromatid exchanges produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells by N-hydroxy-2-aminofluorene, N-hydroxy-N'-acetylbenzidine and 1-nitrosopyrene [11].
1-Nitropyrene (5.2 pmol/mg DNA/h) and 1-nitrosopyrene (129 pmol/mg DNA/h) formed a single DNA adduct in Chinese hamster lung cells which co-eluted on h.p.l.c. with the C-8 deoxyguanosine adduct isolated from 1-nitropyrene-treated calf thymus DNA [15].
In order to determine how this initial premutational lesion is converted to a stable heritable mutation, DNA sequences were determined for 30 mutations induced by 1-nitrosopyrene that mapped between bp 1 and 352 in the lambda cI gene of E.coli lysogens [5].

Female BALB/c and AJ mice were also immunized with 1-nitrosopyrene-modified KLH and 4 out of 18 surviving animals produced a low titer response when measured by an [3H] acetylaminopyrene-based radioimmunoassay [17].

Q: Passar mais de um parâmetro em uma requisição no Angular para WebAPi Esta é a web api:
[Route("{pagina:int}/{tamanhoPagina:int}")]
        [HttpGet]
        public IHttpActionResult UsuarioPaginado(int pagina = 1, int tamanhoPagina=10)
        {

            var _aluno = iAluno.Listar()
                        .Where(x => x.Nome != string.Empty)
                        .OrderBy(y => y.Nome).Skip(tamanhoPagina * (pagina - 1)).Take(tamanhoPagina);
            return Ok(_aluno);
        }

Como fazer na minha aplicação Angular saber quando é a página 2 ou página 3 ou 4 e assim por diante?
Abaixo está o formulário e o usuário precisa navegar para a Próxima ou Anterior:

A classe abaixo é a Service onde faço a requisição da Web Api:
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class UsuarioService {

  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

    getListaUsuarios(): Observable<Usuario[]> {
      const url = `${environment.apiUrl}`;
      return this.http.get<Usuario[]>(url);
    }

    getListaAlunoPaginado(pagina: number, tamanhoPagina: number): Observable<Usuario[]> {
      const url = `${environment.apiUrl}/${pagina}/${tamanhoPagina}`;
      return this.http.get<Usuario[]>(url)
    }
}

E está é a classe do Componente:
Obs.: no trecho do código onde this.pagina = 1 o valor está fixo e não pode, tem que ser um valor dinâmico conforme o usuário vai clicando em avançar e ai está minha dúvida: Como implementar esse valor dinâmico ?
export class ListarUsuarioComponent implements OnInit {
  public usuarios: Usuario[];
  public pagina: number;
  public tamanhoPagina: number;

  constructor(private usuarioService: UsuarioService) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.getListaAlunoPaginado(1,10);
  }

  getListaAlunoPaginado(pagina: number, tamanhoPagina: number) {
    this.usuarioService.getListaAlunoPaginado(pagina, tamanhoPagina)
      .subscribe((dados: Usuario[]) => {
        this.usuarios = dados,
        this.pagina = 1,                  <<--Aqui o valor está fixo, mas tem que ser um valor dinâmico conforme o usuário vai Clicando em Próximo.
        this.tamanhoPagina = 10;
      }, () => { 'Erro'; });
  }

}

A: Vc pode criar um formData e passar ele inteiro pra api, tipo assim:
    getListaUsuariosPaginado(): Observable<Usuario[]> {
      const formData = new FormData();
      formData.append('pagina', pagina);
      formData.append('tamanho_pagina', tamanhoPagina);

      const url = `${environment.apiUrl}/`;
      return this.http.get<Usuario[]>(url, formData);
    }

Dentro do append o primeiro parâmetro é o nome que vc vai dar, e o segundo é o dado que vc quer enviar.
Depois disso só passar o formData inteiro no request e depois capturar os dados na api.
Somente capturar os dados na api do resquest
$pagina = $request['pagina'];
$tamanhoPagina = $request['tamanho_pagina'];

A: Olha, se o que você quer é somente colocar os números das páginas e setar quantidade por ela, existe uma opção bem simples de fazer isso, que é o Angular DataTables, fazer no braço, vc vai perde muito tempo pesquisando e é um pouco complexo de fazer, eu fiz, mas se for pra eu explicar, teria que ser passo a passo é vai ficar muito grande, então.
Use o Angular DataTables https://l-lin.github.io/angular-datatables/#/basic/with-options
nesse link tem explicando como funcionar, ele tem várias funcionalidades, assim como paginate, pesquisa dinâmica, quantidade de itens por pagina e etc.
A parte de paginação fica mais o menos assim:

E vc não precisa digitar linhas e linhas pra paginar os seus dados no braço, ele resolve tudo pra vc.
Basicamente vc vai instalar ele no seu project;
Dentro da sua classe vc vai importar ele: import { DataTableDirective } from 'angular-datatables';
Vai criar uma propriedade mais o menos assim:
public dtOptions: DataTables.Settings = {};

E configurar ela dentro do seu ngInit, mais o menos assim:
  this.dtOptions = {
    pagingType: 'full_numbers',
    pageLength: 5,
    jQueryUI: true,
    language: <any>dtLanguage,
    autoWidth: false,
  };

No HTML vc chama esses parametros na table:
<table datatable [dtOptions]="dtOptions" class="row-border hover">

Esse é um padrão que eu uso. Mas no link acima contém toda a documentação dela. Acredito que isso resolva sua questão.
Segue também aqui um link mostrando mais a fundo como configurar:

My 2011 in Review: Card Games
Posted by EndersGame
(EndersGame)
This is the seventh installment of a series of articles, in which I take a look back at some of the new games I've played and explored in the past year. Card Games are one of my favourite genres.
Of all the new games I was introduced to in the past year, I'd have to give the Card Game of the Year award to Biblios as the pick of the bunch. But don't go away just yet, because some outstanding titles emerged over the last 12 months which also deserve to be highlighted, and you'll find several of them in this list! Of the card games you learned this year, what was your favourite?
Biblios has to be the card game that Reiner Knizia wanted to make - it's that good. But unfortunately for him designer Steve Finn beat him to it! Originally published as "Scripts & Scribes", this game was one of those cult hits that became a kind of underground phenomenon among those who could get their hands on it. Described by some as For Sale type filler on steroids, it uses familiar mechanisms in interesting ways to create a fun experience with surprising depth in the short time it takes to play. It all comes together in a very successful and deservingly popular package, and the good news is that in the past year Scripts & Scribes was elevated from its humble VHS case status, and joined the world of real games under the name Biblios. With the help of publisher Iello, Pinocchio has become a real boy at last, making this great little card game widely available with new artwork and quality components, and fortunately not changing a thing about the great gameplay.
At its core it is a set collection game, but it begins with a drafting phase where players create an auction deck and give cards to their opponents. Ten follows an auction phase as players compete for the cards in the auction deck, trying to establish point-scoring majorities in the five different suits. Oh and did we mention that there are ways to manipulate the points each category is worth by changing the dice totals corresponding to each set type?
Biblios gets just about everything just right: mechanics, rules, length, interaction, scalability, luck, strategy, tension, fun factor and surprise factor. It's all very well balanced, and will thus appeal to a broad range of people. It also combines a variety of mechanics in a delightful and satisfying way. Admittedly the theme is pasted on, because really all that matters are the numbers and suits, so it could be set collection for anything. In that respect Biblios reminds me a great deal of the best of master designer Reiner Knizia - cards with numbers, pasted on theme, but rich and rewarding game-play that makes me come back again and again. In fact, few would have questioned it had Knizia's name been on the box, because it's that sort of game, and right up there with some of Knizia's best fillers and auction games. Outstanding for its class, and very highly recommended!

Designed by Sean Ross, Haggis is the second entry in Indie Board & Card's marvellous Postcard Box Games series. It is not a trick-taking game in the conventional sense, but is part of the climbing game family, along with the immensely popular Tichu, which can rightly be considered an esteemed parent of Haggis. Unlike Tichu, which excels as a partnership game for four players, Haggis is designed for 2-3 players, and is widely regarded as doing a superb job of bringing Tichu-like play to a table with less players.
The object of the game is to try to be the first to empty your hand of cards, thus earning points for the cards left in your opponent's hand. In the course of play, you capture the specific scoring cards in the tricks you win. But to really ramp up the fun factor and the excitement, the points that you acquire in this fashion can be further supplemented by betting that you will be the first player to divest yourself of all of your cards. The `betting' at the start of each round just increases the stakes and adds to the tension. Tricks require playing combinations of cards like sets and sequences - concepts that will be somewhat familiar from games like Rummy. But in Haggis each player also starts with three wild cards, and not only can these help you make sets and sequences, but they can also be played together as `Bombs' - essentially big trumps that beat all other combinations of cards, and virtually guarantee you the trick. Bombs help you retain the lead, but come at the cost of giving up the cards from that trick to your opponent. In most cases retaining the lead is worth this cost, because it can help you ensure that you go out first, and so make your bet or stop your opponent making his.
If you are already familiar with climbing games or are an ardent Tichu fan that's looking for something to play with just 2 or 3 players, then you most definitely want to check out Haggis. If you enjoy traditional type card games, you should also give this a close look, because it could well become a modern classic. There are quality components with attractive artwork, and the gameplay itself is tense and exciting, and leaves a lot of room for skill. Haggis has proven to be a real hit with most people it's introduced to, and if you like the gameplay of traditional type card games, you'll probably find yourself just loving this.

With Barons we get more card-game goodness from the same company that brought us Glory to Rome. I wouldn't quite call it a "new" Glory to Rome, even though it's from the same publisher, because it's lighter in feel, and the mechanics are quite different from both games. But cards still have multiple uses, and when played as buildings they will give you ongoing abilities and benefits. And it's definitely still a strategy card game, which is why the publisher is marketing it as part of their "Extreme Strategy" rather than their "Family" series.
The basic concept is that players are building up their personal barony by playing lands (which allow you to draw new cards by taxation) and buildings (which have special abilities), and there's interaction with other baronies by using knights. Cards are used as lands/buildings/actions/knights, but are also used as `money' (by discarding) in order to `pay' for the cards that are put into play.
There are four different coloured decks that are shared by the players, and each deck has unique cards with its own feel. There are certainly different strategies to explore by building around certain cards or colours. Barons also has the advantage of scaling well as a two-player game, and plays quite quickly - so you can play a couple of games back-to-back. I've played it many times, and find that many of the nuances only become apparent after multiple plays - I believe it's been somewhat unfairly the recipient of criticism from those who have judged it too harshly after just one or two plays, without taking the time to explore it more fully. So bear in mind: 1. don't expect it to be like Glory to Rome (it's lighter, and different); 2. don't judge it too quickly after just one or two plays (there's more strategy and tactics going on than meets the eye!)

Wildlife Safari is a rethemed version of the simple and elegant Knizia classic Loco, with the addition of some wonderful animal miniatures.
A small deck of cards contains six cards (numbered 0-5) in five suits corresponding to the animal miniatures, of which there are five of each: rhinos, leopards, lions, zebras, elephants. The cards are dealt out to all the players, and in turns each player plays a card and takes an animal. You keep playing cards until one animal has all six of its cards played, at which point the game stops and the last card played for each animal represents how many points those animals are worth.
If you are looking for a first rate family game that can serve double-duty as a quick, light, social filler than Botswana should be on your radar. In terms of fun, ease of learning, replayability and simple good value, you would be hard pressed to go wrong with a game of this sort. It is very accessible, has a good fun factor, plays quickly, and has gorgeous components. Featuring a very elegant design, despite some luck of the draw it also enables you to make clever and tense choices, especially in the closing stages of a game. Attractive and high quality components round out an excellent all-round package that's good value.

Potion-Making: Practice
Potion-Making: Practice is another game from our gaming friends in Russia. After enjoying much success and winning all kinds of awards in that country, it's made the jump to the wider gaming world with the help of an English edition released at Essen 2011.
The core of the game is about collecting and combining elements to make different potions, and then combining potions that you and other players have made to make even more powerful and higher point scoring potions. The cards in the game represent both the raw elements and the formulas for higher level potions, so you'll need to make careful choices about managing your cards.
I'm told that this game has made a huge splash in Russia, and has been considered the top game there over the last five years - and I can see why. In the more crowded market of games outside its native country, Potion Making Practice got a lot of competition from other quality card games, but it holds its own well and has an addictive quality about it. It would classify as a solid filler, but it does its job well, and there's enough interaction and decision making to make the game enjoyable without it becoming nasty or entirely cerebral or for that matter entirely luck driven. This game has proven to be very popular in our family, and has seen a lot of play over the last few months, being enjoyed by both young and old alike.

In White Elephant you excel in bad gift-giving. You have three not exactly highly loved people on your shopping list (e.g. The Crazy Neighbour, Mother in Law, Great Uncle Irwin), and so you haul out some `junk' out of your garage or attic, then attempt to exchange what you have with other players for better stuff, trying to be the player who is the best gift giver.
The main mechanic of the game is borrowed from the popular holiday party game "White Elephant Gift Exchange", also known as Dirty Santa, Yankee Swap, Chinese Gift Exchange, or Parcel Pass. Everyone chooses a Gift card and places it face down in the middle of the table. The starting player then chooses a gift from the middle and "opens" it by placing it face up in front of him. Then the next person in clockwise turn order may either choose an unopened gift, or steal an opened gift from another player. This continues until everyone has a gift, and then the process is repeated with new cards. At the end of the game the winner is the player with the highest valued cards for the three recipients on their gift list.
White Elephant is definitely a very light and fluffy card game that best excels with a casual group of players, especially non-gamers, and really thrives with groups of 5 through 7 players. It can be explained in little more than 60 seconds, and is highly interactive and fun for the 10-15 minutes it takes to play. But the real strength is the theme. I've always liked the White Elephant concept and it works really well in this game, because the game essentially is the traditional gift exchange, but simply played with cards and points. There's also fun to be had in having some laughs about the silly gifts themselves, because the cards feature items that are completely kitschy, gaudy, tacky, and cheesy. A fun little filler that's ideal for introducing to your family and friends.

Musketeers has been around for a while, but has just had a major component upgrade with the benefit of a new release that's a special felt-lined tin box edition. It's not a meaty filler by any means, but has real potential for those who enjoy elements of bluffing and simultaneous selection, and are looking for something light and quick.
In the game, players must simultaneously choose a Musketeer card from their hand, in an effort to work together with the other players to defeat the Guard card that has been revealed. If the combined total is sufficient, the player who contributed the highest card gets a reward (Gem cards), while if the combined total is insufficient, the player who contributed the lowest card suffers a penalty (Prison cards).
It's a clever use of numbers that reminds me of the best of Knizia in its simplicity and genius - even though it's not a Knizia design. The simultaneous selection and bluffing elements are a real highlight, but the real genius of the game is the fascinating mechanic where you're working together but at the same time working against each other. This semi-cooperative element is thematic and truly fitting for the Musketeer's motto: "One for all, and all for one!" Luck of the draw does play a role, and the game is best enjoyed with 3 and preferably with 4, but it is super quick, light and fun, and yet has enough substance to make it something worth coming back to for another quick fix.

Adventure of D
It's a rather unassuming box, and is the home-grown creation of a designer in Indonesia. But don't underestimate small things, because Adventure of D is a fantasy adventure card game for 1-4 players that proves very rewarding, especially when played solitaire!
The Adventure of D is part of a series of games that are part of designer Jack Darwid's `The D-Universe'. In this particular game, a `board' is created by the variable set-up of 12 cards in a 4x3 grid, each corresponding to locations like Woods of Mana, Village of Dawn, and Tower of Death. The aim is to move around the map and complete a series of challenges in order to build up your character (and there are several to choose from, each with their own abilities) in three areas (strength, intelligence, and agility). Eventually you will reach the point where you're ready to risk entering the Tower of Death in a game-winning attempt of heroism to defeat the evil wizard Elzoof. The beauty of this game is that cards have multiple uses. The designer has come up with an original concept that he calls "The Power Card system" as a way of making the game move forward. In other words: no dice - but yet some random events and scope for player decisions.
While the production quality of the game might leave something to be desired, the artwork is charming especially for a somewhat homegrown job, and more importantly the Power Card system underlying the gameplay is very solid indeed, and really helps create a genuine fantasy adventure experience. The game does feel somewhat like a puzzle after a while, and perhaps that's why it's best enjoyed as a solitaire experience. But if you are looking for a lighter and fun fantasy adventure game that is both quick to play and eminently portable, then this might just be the game for you. A clever little game that deserves more attention than it has received until now, and a pleasant surprise from a somewhat unassuming package!

Heroes of Graxia
Heroes of Graxia is another deck-building game that certainly owes a great deal to Dominion for much of its mechanics, but offers a very fresh approach to the genre by incorporating significant elements from games like Magic the Gathering, most notably the notion of player-vs-player combat. In contrast to the 25 different kingdom cards amongst the 500 cards of Dominion, the 240 cards of Heroes of Graxia feature more than 50 uniquely different characters, equipment, spells and monsters, and they're also packaged in a much more compact and portable box.
Heroes of Graxia clearly owes an enormous debt to Dominion in game-play, e.g. the basic concept of building up a deck; spending money from cards in hand to buy face-up cards and put them into your discard pile; discarding your complete hand and drawing five new cards at the end of your turn. But while the core of the game is something familiar and proven, from there it forges its own path in a new direction. First of all, cards can be used either for their gold value, or for their special ability as a unit, equipment or spell - so you'll rarely feel thwarted by the luck of the draw. But the biggest change is the addition of player-vs-player combat. Once you put characters into play from your hand, they remain in play, so that you can build up an army with units, improve them with equipment, and then use this well equipped legion in combat against monsters and other players.
It's a brilliant concept that's interactive and innovative, and has a lot to offer, and the artwork is quite stunning and attractive. Unfortunately the game itself is not entirely without flaws, and you will find some concerns about excessive math in calculating legion strength, and mixed feelings about how effectively the player-vs-player combat works. But there's some interesting and good ideas here, and we've had enormous fun with it in the dozen or more times we've played it, particularly with older boys and teens. There have been reports that the publisher is further polishing their product with improved rules and plans to add a sequel, and I am hoping that the game will only keep on getting better from here.

Meet Molly Ayer, a 17 year old Goth foster kid who needs to fulfill community service hours or risk going to juvenile hall. Next meet Vivian, a wealthy widow who agrees to fulfill Molly's community service requirement by having her clean out her attic. Their relationship grows as they work together in the attic and deepens when Molly's teacher assigns a project where she has to interview someone about their life's journey. She chooses Vivian. Vivian takes Molly on the journey of being an orphan emigrating from Ireland to Ellis Island, NY, at the age of 9, through her adoption, childhood, adolescence and early adulthood in Minnesota. Vivian's answers tell a powerful story.
Kline uses alternating chapters to tell the women's stories, with parallels becoming more evident throughout the novel. Throughout the story, we alternate between present day Maine in Molly's story, to the 1920's-1940's with Vivian's story taking the reader through the midst of the Great Depression and World War II in Minnesota. Orphan Train is a wonderful novel that parallels the lives of orphans in the Depression era to those in present-day.

When you hold the DELTA in your hand you know you have a weapon that makes a fine tool.
"There is always a place for a fixed blade knife in law enforcement in as much as the profession covers such a wide range of tasks. TOPS, which stands for Tactical OPS, is appropriate for either law enforcement or military operations and is reportedly the fixed blade of choice for Seals, Special Forces, SWAT, Marine Force Recon, and a host of others. My sample is the TOPS Showdown DELTA. There is a thumb perch atop and a finger guard below. Weight is just a tad below a full pound. When you hold the DELTA in your hand you know you have a weapon that makes a fine tool. In a wooded canyon below my city abode my test/evaluation of various camp cutting chores left nothing to be desired."

The Canadian Ambassador to Iraq and Jordan, Mr Mark Gwozdecky, met with Minister Falah Mustafa yesterday as part of his farewell tour of Kurdistan.
Ambassador Gwozdecky has served in his post for over three years. He will return to Ottawa to head the Middle East Bureau at their Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The two sides spoke in detail about previous political agreements between Erbil and Baghdad and their lack of implementation. Minister Mustafa said that there was hope for a breakthrough between the two sides to resolve differences after the recent exchange of visits, but underlined the need for commitment to power-sharing and the Constitution from Baghdad.
Minister Mustafa assured him that Kurdistan and its leadership is committed to democracy and called on Canada to engage in the process to help build institutions, share experiences in civil society, strengthen the rule of law, and build awareness about the role of each sector in democracy, including the media.
They both agreed on the need for a permanent solution to the crisis and said that the international community must act quickly to find a peaceful transition to democracy.
Ambassador Gwozdecky was accompanied by the Charge d'affairs in Baghdad, Ms Stephanie Duhaime. The meeting was also attended by Assistant-Head of DFR, Ms Siham Jabali.
