Scientists design way to track steps of cells' development
New tool has potential to boost regenerative medicine, cancer research
by Julia Evangelou Strait•December 5, 2018
Samantha Morris, PhD, and her team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis designed a cellular tracking system that can give scientists a new view of how cells develop. This "flight data recorder" for cells could one day help scientists guide cells along the right paths to regenerate certain tissues or organs, or help researchers understand the wrong turns some cells might take on their way to becoming cancerous.
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a new tool described as a "flight data recorder" for developing cells, illuminating the paths cells take as they progress from one type to another.
Scientists hope to one day be able to take skin cells from a patient who needs a liver transplant, for example, and guide the skin cells along a known path that will result in a new liver. Without this cellular tracking device, researchers are able to study the original cells and the final cells in great detail — but the pathways cells take to reach their destinations have been largely unknown.
The study is published Dec. 5 in the journal Nature.
"There is a lot of interest in the potential of regenerative medicine — growing tissues and organs in labs — to test new drugs, for example, or for transplants one day," said senior author Samantha A. Morris, PhD, an assistant professor of developmental biology. "But we need to understand how the reprogramming process works. We want to know if the process for converting skin cells to heart cells is the same as for liver cells or brain cells. What are the special conditions necessary to turn one cell type into any other cell type? We designed this tool to help answer these questions."
According to the researchers, the tool could reveal cellular "reprogramming" routes that might involve reverting skin cells back to different types of stem cells that could then mature into a new liver or other vital organ. Among many potential uses, the tool also could be applied in cancer research, recording the wrong turns normal cells might take to develop into tumors.
Using their flight data recorder, the researchers performed experiments that uncovered some surprising details about the specific routes taken by cells that successfully completed their flight paths. The new information may help researchers identify the best "pre-flight" conditions to expose the cells to in order to increase the likelihood that their journeys will be successful. The scientists want to file the right flight plan, so to speak, so all of the cells arrive at the correct destinations.
"Right now, cell reprogramming is really inefficient," Morris said. "When you take one cell population, such as skin cells, and turn it into a different cell population — say intestinal cells — only about 1 percent of cells successfully reprogram. And because it's such a rare event, scientists have thought it is likely to be a random process — there is some correct set of steps that a few cells randomly hit upon. We found the exact opposite. Our technology lets us see that if a cell starts down the right path to reprogramming very early in the process, all of its related sibling cells and their descendants are on the same page, doing the same thing."
The technique harnesses the natural properties of a virus that inserts tiny DNA "barcodes," called "CellTags," into each cell. As the cells divide, their unique barcodes are passed down to all their descendant cells. At several set time points during the 28-day cellular reprogramming window, new barcodes are added and a sample of the cells are analyzed to see what they're doing at that waypoint. The CellTagging technique keeps track of which cells share common ancestors and how far back that common ancestor is found in the lineage, like a family tree. Indeed, beyond single flight tracking, the tool lets Morris and her team build complex family trees of cells, where successfully reprogrammed cells could be traced all the way back to their early ancestors.
Morris said their study suggests that the state the cell is in at the time it receives the instructions to reprogram has already set the stage for whether it will be successful or not. This contradicts assumptions that a cell goes in many different directions when it is first instructed to reprogram.
"If we can unlock that cocktail of initial conditions that primes cells to be successful in their reprogramming, we can transform cells into the type we want with much higher efficiency," she said. "We'd like to reach 100 percent efficiency. That would be really exciting for the field of regenerative medicine."
The researchers already may have identified one ingredient in the cocktail. They found that if a certain gene, called Mettl7a1, was turned on in cells, they were three times as likely to successfully reprogram compared with cells in which this gene is inactive. According to Morris, another interesting finding was that the cells that were not successful in their reprogramming didn't just end up all over the map. They appeared to converge at the same dead end, tending to revert back to look like the original cell type.
"We see a single dead end right now, but as the technology improves, we think there's a possibility we will see multiple outcomes," she said.
The researchers studied mouse skin cells, exposing them to a molecular cocktail that triggers the DNA of the cells to open up, turn on new genes and reprogram skin cells into another cell type called induced endoderm progenitors.
Such cells give rise to both liver cells and to cells that make up the small intestine. In one example of a potential application, Morris wants to grow mini-guts to help the study of premature infants with a condition called short bowel syndrome. Babies born too early are at high risk of a disease that results in the death of tissue in the intestine. To stop the damage, some babies require surgery to remove that portion of the bowel, resulting in a shorter bowel.
"Since part of the intestine has been removed, these infants lose their ability to absorb nutrients," Morris said. "If we eventually can grow replacement intestine from the human version of these cells, that would be an amazing advance."
Morris worked with Washington University's Office of Technology Management to patent the technology. Several research teams worldwide already have taken an interest in using the Morris lab's CellTagging method in their own investigations.
"We are pleased and encouraged to see a number of cancer research groups adopting this technology in their labs," Morris said. "With this method, they can find out which cells become the cancer and trace their ancestors back in time to see what they were doing early on."

Even if Times Are Tough, Working Parents Are Happier on the Job
"When dads play a bigger role in childcare and doing routine housework, it puts both parents in a better position to succeed at work."
A new survey reveals that working parents are happier with their job, and they are getting more done, than people without children.
Researchers attribute the surprising results to a sharp increase in the number of men helping with childcare and housework during the pandemic.
"We found that men's increased contributions at home have a positive influence on women's job satisfaction and productivity," says Kristina Durante, director of research at the Center for Women in Business at Rutgers Business School.
"When dads play a bigger role in childcare and doing routine housework, it puts both parents in a better position to succeed at work."
Rutgers researchers conducted a national online survey of more than 1,500 working adults, including 920 living with a partner of the opposite gender, between April 29 and May 15. They found that both men and women are doing more unpaid labor while working from home.
Childcare: Before the pandemic, 15% of men provided active childcare for at least five hours a day. That number nearly doubled to 29% in lockdown.
Housework: Only 11% of men used to spend more than five hours a day on household chores. Now, 20% of men are cooking and cleaning regularly.
Impact: Though women are still doing more childcare and housework overall, researchers believe men's increased contributions are making a big difference in both parents' success at work—particularly for women.
Job Satisfaction: Working parents are liking their job more. 24% reported an increase in job satisfaction, compared to 13% of workers without children at home.
Job Productivity: 30% of working parents reported an increase in productivity during the pandemic, compared to 21% of workers without children at home.
"The implications of these results are encouraging for the future of work," says Yana Rodgers, faculty director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations.
"With more fathers engaged in caring labor, the social norms around an ideal worker may change and de-stigmatize the implicit bias that limits women's opportunities for career advancement."
Galvanized by the findings, researchers are hoping to create momentum for change in the workplace with these recommendations:
Senior managers should create internal messaging, targeted to employees, that voices their support for family and sick leave programs. Mangers should mention that they, too, have experienced the strain of work-life overlap during the pandemic
Managers at the highest levels should act as role models by using leave programs themselves. This can help to end the stigma around family-friendly policies.
Firms should encourage employees to take advantage of employee resource groups (ERGs) and business resource groups (BRGs). Men can be part of the conversation and the solution by taking part in women's groups.
Firms should encourage their partners and suppliers to create similar practices to support their workers.
The federal government should adopt legislation that values care work.
The survey results appear in a working paper. Additional coauthors are from Rutgers and New Jersey City University.

ACTS Represents Plaintiff in Suzuki Defective Brakes Suit
Abir Cohen Treyzon Salo, LLP is representing a victim in a products liability lawsuit against the Suzuki Motor Corporation, Suzuki Motor of America, Inc., and motorcycle dealership Wheels in Motion, Inc. In March 2016, she became severely injured in a motorcycle collision while riding a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R600 she purchased at Wheels in Motion the previous year. When the crash occurred, she was riding her motorcycle on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles County, California. With traffic stopping in front of her, she attempted to slow down and applied the brakes. Her front brake failed, forcing her to lay her motorcycle down resulting in a severe impact with the vehicle in front of her. The plaintiff sustained a severe traumatic brain injury and other life changes complications in the crash.
The lawsuit claims that Defendants produced, distributed, and sold a defective motorcycle. They also failed to properly investigate the defect, and timely recall the product. It also alleges that the high-volume retailer failed to fix the brakes despite the recall being common knowledge in the motorcycle industry and that people from the dealership must have known about the recall, and failed to properly mechanically inspect or investigate the history of the motorcycle before it was sold to the plaintiff.
Similar Lawsuits and Settlements
Many riders have been victims of crashes while riding Suzuki motorcycles that contained defective brakes and suffered life-changing injuries. A Georgia man was involved in a collision while riding his Suzuki motorcycle on August 12, 2013. During the collision, he shattered his spine, which left him with mobility issues and prevented him from returning to his job. Testing after the crash determined that the brakes on the bike were defective. He received more than $10 million as compensation for his injuries after the brakes on his motorcycle failed.
In August 2019, a Jacksonville, Florida rider filed a similar suit against Suzuki and a retailer because of the allegedly faulty brakes on the bike. The rider used a friend's 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycle in June 2013 and attempted to depress the front brake during the ride, which failed to stop the bike. He lost control of the motorcycle and crashed into a car, leaving him permanently paralyzed. According to his testimony, he believes that if the front brake operated as it should have, he would not be injured.
Defective Brakes Found on Motorcycles
An initial report citing a brake defect with Suzuki motorcycles arose in May 2009 in Germany. There were complaints from the Suzuki racing team years before that. Although it is alleged that the Suzuki company knew about the defect for years, the first recall in the U.S. was not issued until November 2013. Over 400,000 vehicles encompass the recall, including 2004 through 2013 Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 models, and 2005 through 2013 Suzuki GSX-R1000 models.
The recall identifies defects in the front brake master cylinder causing the brake fluid to interact with materials in the front brake master cylinder that leads to corrosion and the release of hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas, or any gas or air bubbles, in a hydraulic brake system renders the brakes inoperable and puts riders at-risk for serious injuries and fatalities. Plaintiff contends that Suzuki put off issuing the recall long after it knew the recall was necessary because they did not want the recall to affect their busy sales season and wanted to stock pile parts before issuing the recall, valuing the logistics of having more parts on hand more than the safety of the riders who would be riding defective motorcycles for a longer period of time.

Q: Why is my scroll to top always animated? And how can I instantly travel to top? So I have this heavily animated website made and every time I apply "Back to top" code on my button, it always animates scrolling through the entire page until it reaches the top.
I want it to instantly take them to the top without any fancy scroll up effects which is what I am getting..
I have tried multiple scripts and they all get an animation for some reason (even if I search for script code that is supposedly not animated).
this is the current script I am using: (I have tried multiple but they all resulted in the same animated scroll up effect)
<!-- Back to top -->
    <script>
        var btn = $('#BackTop');
        $(window).scroll(function() {
            if ($(window).scrollTop() > 300) {
                btn.addClass('show');
            } else {
                btn.removeClass('show');
            }
        });

        btn.on('click', function(e) {
            // e.preventDefault();
            window.scrollTo({
                top: 0,
            })
        });
    </script>

These are the other scripts included in the page, could have any of these been effecting my scroll to top code perhaps?
<!-- Scripts -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="./my-assets/js/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="./my-assets/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="./assets/js/lib/gsap3/gsap.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="./my-assets/js/scroll.js"></script>

    <!-- .cd-vertical-nav -->
    <script src="./my-assets/js/velocity.min.js"></script>
    <script src="./my-assets/js/velocity.ui.min.js"></script>
    <script src="./my-assets/js/main.js"></script>

    <!-- fade effect js -->
    <script src="./my-assets/js/aos/aos.js"></script>

Would appreciate any tips with what exactly am I doing wrong, because I really want it to be instant to top and not animated because the page I am working on is huge in a sense where I dont want the costumer to see the entire page scroll back up..

A: It is just a matter of css properties on the document.
You can either specify the behaviour for the particular operation
window.scrollTo({ top:0, left:0, behavior: "instant"}); // using built in
$(window).scrollTo(0, {duration:0}); // using jquery

Other than that you could try changing the css properties of the document
html {
    scroll-behavior: auto;
}

A: For that you don't even need JS. You can set empty or hidden div in top of you page and give it some id. And make your btn be a tag that links to it
<a href="#id">

Here is the example
Alternatives
If you want to use JS you can
document.getElementById("body").scrollIntoView()

Or JQuery
$(window).scrollTo(0, {duration:0})

Cross training rooms are spaces where people can go through circuits or do larger area floor exercises like those for agility. These rooms often have members running in to do intervals of aerobic exercise, sit ups or ladder jumps. Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding knows these can be intimidating. Here are some basic rules.
Clear the way. Because these are used during HIIT and other high speed intervals, it's always good to leave a pathway into the room from the door. Avoid working out near the door.
Don't clutter the space. Bosu and medicine balls, jump ropes, ladders and matts are just a few of the items that find their way into these rooms. It can clutter up quickly if people aren't good about cleaning up after themselves. Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding advises against being someone who doesn't pick up their stuff after a workout. The worst members are those who run out of the room, grab water and then leave saying they are "done" or "have to get home" or back to work. Equipment clean up should be factored into every workout.
Cross Training rooms are tricky. They just look like an empty room with equipment. But that's what studios (for spin or yoga or any other group fitness class) look like. Workout in the proper room and always check the door for a "reserved" notice. An easy way to avoid confusion is to ask for a tour of your gym and check the class schedule.
If you are working out in a room and a class is coming, finish your current set and then move to another space that is clear for your workout. Don't be rude to staff members about this. If your gym doesn't post schedules for room use suggest it!
And don't forget to check out this post about overall etiquette.
Dr. Ren Fielding is AMAZING. First impression: professional, knowledgeable, caring… My impressions have only improved. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. It is so scary to undergo this process. You will feel a hundred times better if you know you are in experienced, capable hands.
She made me comfortable enough to ask as many questions as I wanted and was sensitive to include my husband in the discussion and ask how he felt about everything. She made me feel comfortable on the day of surgery and afterwards also.
Caring, professional and a Dr very confident in what she does. Her office staff is GREAT!!! supportive, helpful, concerned, caring and friendly… She spoke very freely and honestly of all the pros and cons and I enjoy that very much… Surgical competence and bedside manner are great.
I like her very much! The office staff has been great, I haven't met anyone that I haven't liked so far. They do very close follow-up, no slacking off. She's one of the Best and has one of the Best in her practice with her in Dr. [George] Fielding so 2 top notch surgeons under one roof!

I can't wait to give your basketball team the worst drubbing of your MTC Fantasy League career ever!!!!
As of today, only 7 participants have registered. And with the confirmation deadline for the previous players ended, I have sent open invitations to all interested newcomers to be part of the league, THE ONLY WAY to the PREMIER league.
So there goes, once the teams are set then we can tackle the next issues which are the draft day, roster details, trade things, etc etc.
Edited by hoopburners, 22 September 2007 - 12:18 PM.
chocolate_starfish officially makes its MTC debut this season.. yiha!
Thanks commish hoops sa invite, and sa mga kakosa kong ubod ng lufet sa pag-recommend ng aking katangahan sa pagpapantasya!
Important Note: Since all of the previous confirmed participants have registered their teams and we still have 3 available slots, all requests/inquiries to join please PM me directly and post your intentions here. But there's no guarantee that you'll get the available slots. Every request will go through everyone for their comments and recommendation (fellow managers, need your help on this). Screening is a must since I don't want to have inactive players in this league.
So be prepared! The league will start soon.
Mahusay na Commissioner si pareng Hoops!!

Many are at a loss deciphering the security, political, economic or social value behind the relocation of the suspected terrorists. Anambra State does not lie in the track of the terrorist insurgency. Why expand the theater of conflict? What is gained in creating a situation that presents new striking targets for the terrorists outside the traditional conflict zone? One does not need to be an expert in counter terrorism to appreciate that a site for the detention of these combatants is a potential target of assault by the terrorist organization either to rescue their comrades or to destroy the holding facility. As much premium is placed on destruction of enemy infrastructure as on enemy combatants. The federal government is at pains fighting the rampaging Boko Haram sect in the north – east of the country; would it become stronger and more effective in the war fighting on additional fronts?
Some members of the ruling APC have tendered the defence that the relocation of the militants to Anambra State was a policy initiative of the past Goodluck Jonathan administration. The fact that government is a continuum does not absolve the Buhari regime of responsibility for a programme it has chosen to implement. This is the same Buhari regime that has pilloried the Jonathan administration to no end. In the latest of such bashing, we were told that the present government has been slowed considerably by the task of cleaning the mess left behind by the outgone government. Given this perception of the government it succeeded, it would be self - indicting of the present government to have gone ahead with a carry - over it had sworn to scrutinize without so doing. The burden of responsibility is emphasized by the exceptional nature of the subject matter which daily tasks the will and resourcefulness of Nigerians for solution.
The greater wonder however is on the suitability of a densely populated state like Anambra for the hosting of high profile, terrorist suspects. Nigeria cannot be the single all – knowing country with expertise in containment strategies unknown to other nations of the world. From dynastic early age to the present worldwide terrorism phenomena, the standard practice is to confine dangerous criminal suspects in maximum security prisons. Anambra State does not host such a prison complex, so why bring the suspects to the state? It is also standard practice to site such facilities in remote locations usually surrounded by forbidding natural features such as rocky terrain, hills, forests and crocodile infested rivers. While the United States' Guantanamo Bay may be the most known and controversial in recent time, similar detention centres exist in other places. This is observable in countries coping with the menace of hard drug cartels and one recalls the Colombian prison fortress from which the kingpin Pablo Escobar escaped in the early 1990s in spectacular gangster fashion. Memories of the windswept, cold Robben Island where the Mandela generation was quarantined for sixteen years is still fresh in our mind. And here in Nigeria, we recall that when the Ibrahim Babangida junta wanted to put Gani Fawehinmi out of circulation in 1998, the activist lawyer was not taken to any of our city prisons but to isolated Gashua prison in Borno State.
Escobar's dramatic escape from his water tight detention is relevant in this discourse. We are reminded of the high probability of counter attack by detained insurgents either acting alone or in league with their cohorts in attempted invasion. Jail break had become a recurring incident in our various prisons without the Boko Haram inmates. Clearly, the risk factor would triple when the fanatical militants are kept in a medium security prison located in densely populated, built up areas. Such a setting makes it easier for the sect's intelligence arm to infiltrate the larger society and launch reconnaissance missions on the intended target.
The weird choice of a bustling city – state like Anambra for this magnitude of security operation is compounded by the gulf the matter has created between the federal authorities behind the deployment and the Anambra society. There is no gainsaying the fact that the citizens of the state resented the transfer decision and the manner of its execution as insensitive and disruptive of the social life of the people. If there is anything that has brought the elite of the state and the masses in firm solidarity in a long time, it is their rejection of the relocation as demonstrated by public outcry. It would appear that the federal government took an officious approach to a matter that called for consultation and collaboration between the federal and Anambra state governments. While it is clearly the prerogative of the federal government to run the nation's prisons, it nonetheless requires the cooperation of the host communities to achieve lasting result.
Given the political differences between the south – east and the APC – led federal government, one would have expected Abuja to go about the exercise more cautiously and with better tact. The matter calls for constructive engagement rather than the assertion of authority and half hearted denials in turns that have largely characterized response to the problem. It is not yet late for the concerned parties to work out satisfactory alternatives in the interest of peace, fairness and national unity. President Buhari should appreciate the urgency of the matter and indeed take a holistic view of it.


The Republic of Macedonia has two airports. "Alexander the Great" is the main aiport which is located around 20 km from the capitol city, municipality Petrovec-Skopje. In 2014, over 1 million of passengers landed/departed at the airport. Weekly, over 150 flights from different Eruropean cities arrive at the airport. Airlines that operate and have flights from and to Skopje are Fly Dubai, Wizz Air, Pegasus Airlines, Adria Airways, Croatia Airways, Austrian Airways, Air Serbia, Turkish Airlines, Helvetic Airlines, Alitalia, Edelweiss Air, Turkish Airlines, Corendon Airlines and Air Berlin.
From the European cities direct flight are available from Rome, Venice, Milan, Zagreb, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Dortmund, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf, Brussels, Sofia,, Malmo, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Oslo, Paris, Eindhoven, Vienna, Zurich, Basel and London. In addition, direct flight to Macedonia are available from Dubai, Istanbul and Izmir.
From the Airport there is a regular bus line that transfers the passengers from and to the city, Skopje. The price for one way ticket is 150 denars, around 2.5 euros. The transfer is serviced by the company, Vardar Ekspres. The Airport is accessed from the highway Skopje-Belgrade-Thessaloniki.


Adrenergic blocking drugs also known as Beta blockers (sometimes written as β-blockers) are a class of drugs used for various indications, but particularly for the management of cardiac arrhythmias and cardioprotection after myocardial infarction. Whilst once first-line treatment for hypertension, their role was downgraded in June 2006 in the United Kingdom to fourth-line as they do not perform as well as other drugs, particularly in the elderly, and there is increasing evidence that the most frequently used beta-blockers at usual doses carry an unacceptable risk of provoking type 2 diabetes.
Beta blockers may also be referred to as beta-adrenergic blocking agents, beta-adrenergic antagonists, or beta antagonists.
Beta blockers block the action of endogenous catecholamines (epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) in particular), on β-adrenergic receptors, part of the sympathetic nervous system which mediates the "fight or flight" response.
Stimulation of β1 receptors by epinephrine induces a positive chronotropic and inotropic effect on the heart and increases cardiac conduction velocity and automaticity. Stimulation of β1 receptors on the kidney causes renin release. Stimulation of β2 receptors induces smooth muscle relaxation (resulting in vasodilation and bronchodilation amongst other actions), induces tremor in skeletal muscle, and increases glycogenolysis in the liver and skeletal muscle. Stimulation of β3 receptors induces lipolysis.
It is therefore somewhat unexpected that non-selective beta blockers have an antihypertensive effect, since they appear to cause vasoconstriction. The antihypertensive mechanism appears to involve: reduction in cardiac output (due to negative chronotropic and inotropic effects), reduction in renin release from the kidneys, and a central nervous system effect to reduce sympathetic activity.
Antianginal effects result from negative chronotropic and inotropic effects, which decrease cardiac workload and oxygen demand.
Blockade of the sympathetic nervous system on renin release leads to reduced aldosterone via the renin angiotensin aldosterone system with a resultant decrease in blood pressure due to decreased sodium [and H20] retention.
Some beta blockers (e.g. oxprenolol and pindolol) exhibit intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA). These agents are capable of exerting low level agonist activity at the β-adrenergic receptor while simultaneously acting as a receptor site antagonist. These agents, therefore, may be useful in individuals exhibiting excessive bradycardia with sustained beta blocker therapy.
Agents with ISA are not used post-myocardial infarction as they have not been demonstrated to be beneficial. They may also be less effective than other beta blockers in the management of angina and tachyarrhythmia (Rossi, 2006).
Although beta blockers were once contraindicated in congestive heart failure, as they have the potential to worsen the condition, studies in the late 1990s showed their positive effects on morbidity and mortality in congestive heart failure (Hjalmarson, 2000; Leizorovicz, 2002; Packer, 2002). Bisoprolol, carvedilol and sustained-release metoprolol are specifically indicated as adjuncts to standard ACE inhibitor and diuretic therapy in congestive heart failure.
Some people, particularly musicians, use beta blockers to avoid stage fright and tremor during public performance and auditions. The physiological symptoms of the fight/flight response associated with performance anxiety and panic (pounding heart, cold/clammy hands, increased respiration, sweating, etc.) are significantly reduced, thus enabling anxious individuals to concentrate on the task at hand.
Since they lower heart rate and reduce tremor, beta blockers have been used by some Olympic marksmen to enhance performance, though beta blockers are banned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Adverse effects associated with β2-adrenergic receptor antagonist activity (bronchospasm, peripheral vasoconstriction, alteration of glucose and lipid metabolism) are less common with β1-selective (often termed "cardioselective") agents, however receptor selectivity diminishes at higher doses.
A 2007 study (W.J. Elliott, P. Meyer, The Lancet, Jan 20, 2007) revealed that diuretics and beta-blockers used for hypertension increase a patient's risk of developing diabetes. ACE inhibitors and Angiotension Receptor Blockers (ARBs) actually decrease the risk of diabetes. Clinical guidelines in Great Britain, but not in the United States, call for avoiding diuretics and beta-blockers as first-line treatment of hypertension due to the risk of diabetes.
Propranolol is the only agent indicated for control of tremor, portal hypertension and esophageal variceal bleeding, and used in conjunction with α-blocker therapy in phaeochromocytoma (Rossi, 2006).

Cycle screening measures were weaker on Wednesday in line with the loss in the averages. The aggregate measure turned down from deep in negative territory. Unless there's an instant rebound on Thursday, this could be a crash signal. It doesn't guarantee a crash, but it is a red flag. 8 of the 9 component measures are on the sell side on balance. 6 month cycle measures never came close to getting back to the buy side in the little rally over the past four days. Nor did either of the other current status measures. That kept us suspicious of the rally.
I want to repeat what I wrote last night. Margin calls and restrictions on selling in China will force Chinese wealth funds and other major players in that market to sell wherever they can around the world. The Greek tragedy playing out in Europe does not help. It may help Treasuries in the short run, but stocks remain extremely vulnerable.
China and the world will learn that it cannot insulate itself from its insane bubble promoting policies by forbidding selling. It's a big world, and the big China players have access to it. China's markets are imploding and could take the rest of the world down with them. We got a taste of what happens when Chinese wealth funds face a cash squeeze and can't sell at home in June of 2013. That was a tiny taste. This time follows an epic drunken bacchanalian feast of margin and mindless speculation. With Shankhigh virtually shut down, Tokyo, New York, and London will be the vomitoriums.

The Union Bank of Philippines, one of the country's largest banks, is unveiling two cryptocurrency ATMs. The initiative from Union Bank has the blessings of the country's central bank, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). The move is likely to promote Bitcoin adoption in a country that has already adopted a proactive approach towards the industry.
According to a report appearing on the Philippine Star publication of February 6, 2019, the Union Bank of Philippine will launch the country's first two-way cryptocurrency ATM to allow their customers to buy and sell cryptocurrencies using fiat. This, according to the bank, is because of their continued quest to address their customers' acquired taste for virtual currencies.
As per the statement, the initiative has the blessings of the country's central bank because of its continued collaboration with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipina. This collaboration allows for further experimentation within the necessary regulatory boundaries. The unveiling of the ATMs coincides with the launch of the Bank's third phase of its digital transformation which includes blockchain initiatives and intentions to promote new services and financial inclusion.
The central bank of Philippines, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), has since 2017 held a positive outlook towards the regulation of the local cryptocurrency industry. The country is among the first countries in the world to recognize cryptocurrencies as a remittance method and an asset class. The launch will be the first instance where a leading commercial bank and a country's central bank has overseen the launching of a Bitcoin ATM.
Cryptocurrency users in the Philippines can buy and sell digital currencies in just about every place, with Pantera Capital CEO Dan Moorehead saying one in every ten crypto users use Coins. Ph, the country's leading cryptocurrency exchange. Filipinos can use local brokerages and crypto Apps to convert crypto to fiat and vice versa besides using cryptocurrencies to make purchases at thousands of outlets.
Even though the bank has deployed only one ATM, they plan to use it to evaluate the local demand in the next few weeks to decide how soon they might want to implement more ATMs. The Bank's crypto ATM will enhance liquidity and increase the accessibility of cryptocurrencies in the region, especially when the bank finally expands its operations to the other areas.
The degree of cryptocurrency adoption in the Philippines is higher than many other countries primarily because there are limited viable banking options for most of the local population. The deployment of virtual currency ATMs developed by a leading banking institution and approved by the country's central bank will be a sign of confidence towards the local cryptocurrency sector.

August 18, 2016: "Snapshots of Aphrodite" by Robert Hellenga
Hello there, Story366! Today is Thursday and I can't really think of any great anecdotes from the day, nor can I think of anything topical I want to bring up right now. I had a big administrative meeting this morning for the college, and in that meeting …
… okay, just kidding. I'm not going to give you the itinerary of an academic welcome-back meeting. I actually hope that the part of my Story366 essays where I lead up to the story discussion is interesting and pulls readers further into the post, makes them want to read the whole thing. I can't think of anything that would make me stop reading something than hearing about someone's work meeting. I didn't even tell Karen about it for more than a minute, lest she fall asleep, leave me, or walk in front of a speeding semi. And she's my wife—none of you have pledged yourself to such discussions as she has, willingly. Onward, then.
Today I read from Robert Hellenga's new story collection, The Truth About Death and Other Stories, out this year from Bloomsbury. I'd seen this collection at the local Barnes & Noble starting at the beginning of summer, and after a few trips, it wore me down and I picked it up. I'd never read anything by Hellenga before—he's the author of six novels—so I was eager to see what this longtime pro did with a story. I read a couple of his pieces—they're all pretty long, in general—though I didn't hit the title piece, "The Truth About Death," as it's a 143-page novella and that just wasn't going to happen today, my semester about to begin and a million things to do. Still, I think I got a good sampling of Hellenga's voice and skill set and will write about "Snapshots of Aphrodite."
When I was in high school, one of my English teachers told us that the best way to start any sort of paper or essay or English assignment was to invoke a muse, as in one of the nine greek muses from mythology. So, that year, everybody in my honors English class started every assignment with an epigraph to Calliope or Clio or whomever, asking for the strength to write solidly, to earn an A, to brownnose this particular teacher. "Snapshots of Aphrodite" reminds me of that class, that muse-invoking advice, as Hellenga starts the story, and ends it, with language and style reminiscent of Greek drama. The characters aren't characters, but titans, grand figures worthy of song and poem. The first paragraph is a description of a woman, Rosalind, comparing her to a rose, a garden of roses on fire, then eventually to Aphrodite herself. The story's protagonist, DiVita, is walking Rosalind through the lobby of a cheap Chicago hotel, basking in the moment, as all eyes are on her, everyone aware that he's with her and what they're going upstairs to a room to do. So, the story establishes some important facts (themes, even) right away: DiVita is a horny guy, he's having an affair with a gorgeous woman, and it's important to him that everyone knows it. In fact, that last part is the most important part.
Soon we discover more about DiVita and Rosalind, that Rosalind is the wife of Graham, DiVita's friend, colleague, and boss, the head of his department where DiVita is a junior faculty member up for tenure. DiVita is well aware of how messed up this is, but it's not in his character to care: He's more worried about being seen with Rosalind, and having wild, dangerous hotel sex with her, than he is in being a decent guy. To say DiVita is an anti-hero would be an understatement.
DiVita's arrogance bites him in this ass and soon. As he's upstairs with Rosalind, him spread-eagle and tied to the four-poster bed with nylons, Rosalind riding him like a racehorse, their hotel room door opens, the chain is cut, and a camera peeks in, shoots a whole roll of the couple in the act. And that's it: They're caught. Was it Graham? Was it someone else? Was it a mistake? The couple finishes their session, leaving DiVita understandably worried that his friend and superior has just found out, setting up the main tension of the story.
Hellenga dives right into that conflict, as DiVita and Graham are to escort their college's dean and his wife to the university yacht, parked in a harbor, for a little weekend soiree, where DiVita will find out about his tenure. DiVita gets in a dinghy with the dean and his wife to row to the yacht, but then Graham pulls up and DiVita knows he knows: Graham is flushed, angry, and determined, staring him down. Graham then starts pumping up an inflatable canoe to take to the yacht and insists on DiVita helping him and riding with him out to the boat. DiVita obliges, trying to determine what Graham really knows—he's foolishly optimistic—trying to diffuse any possible problem. Did I mention that DiVita can't swim? He unfortunately mentions this to Graham, and the two set out into a Lake Michigan harbor, an envelope of photos apparently in Graham's jacket, DiVita's life in his hands.
I won't go any further into plot, as this canoe scene launches the climax of the story. I'll say again that the piece ends with a rather Classical tone, DiVita invoking the gods in the end, raising this rather ribald story—a guy was fucking his friend's wife and got caught—to the levels of tales of the ages.
In addition to all this, the story also seems to be set in another era, a long-gone time when professors wore yachting outfits to meet up on yachts, when tenure was determined more by hobnobbing than merit, and when women—Rosalind is half Graham's age and one of his former graduate students—were objects for these men to conquer, to speak of as objects. Rosalind barely has dialogue; she is a body, a heavenly one, and nothing more. Way back in the beginning of the story, a bartender asks DiVita, "What does she put on her cunt?" as in perfume, an odd, crass line—really, I don't even get the question—but one that sets a certain tone; Hellenga is establishing what kind of world he's writing about, what kind of people we're dealing with. These aren't nice people, but at least comeuppance comes up.
Should I also mention that there's New Yorker-type cartoons throughout the book, between the stories, like there is on the cover? Haven't seen that before.
Robert Hellenga writes really close-knit character studies, in "Snapshots of Aphrodite" and in the other story I read, "The Second Coming," about a guy who's getting old, possibly losing his mind. Hellenga has an ear for dialogue, is able to turn a phrase (I love how the bolt cutters that cut the hotel room door chain are compared to the beak of some giant, exotic bird), and can write gritty, difficult stories, ones that don't necessarily have happy endings.

Back. To. Back. Write or Die prompts made just for this pretty little princess right here. I have to be honest. Taking that trip to Europe was the biggest leap of faith + best life choice I have ever made.
They say travel is the only thing you can spend money on that makes you richer, I believe that wholeheartedly. I'm not worried about paying off my student loans any time soon. I only want to pay off my credit cards so that I can travel. I could leave tomorrow guys. I plan on exploring closer to me this summer. Trips to Naples (Florida, not Italy, sadly.) and Charleston and who knows where else.
Where do you want to go? PS! Don't forget to linkup your favorite baseball memory tomorrow! OH MAN am I pumped for that!!


Good luck getting into Professor Yoav Freund's big data analytics and Spark class at the University of California, San Diego this fall. "There's always a very long waiting list to get in," he says. But thanks to a new partnership between UCSD and EdX, anybody can take the same course online for free.
On September 3, UCSD will start its second round of MicroMasters classes with EdX, which was created by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University in 2012 to provide online duplicates of popular classes at major colleges and universities around the country.
While about 400 lucky UCSD students will make it into Professor Freund course, there will be anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 people signed up for the same class on the MicroMasters program (although only around 1,000 will actively participate).
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are nothing new. Stanford Professor Andrew Ng helped launch the MOOC movement with his machine learning course, which once attracted more than 100,000 attendees. Ng went on to co-found Coursera with fellow Stanford professor Daphne Koller, and today it offers 2,700 courses and four degrees, including a Master's of Applied Data Science offered in conjunction with Michigan State.
The idea is to expand the number of people who can access to the master's level curriculum and courses. The past year, about 600 people applied for the Master of Science in Data Science program, but only about 70 people were enrolled, according to this August 22 UofAToday story.
While only about 30 people will be admitted to the online MSDS course, the numbers are expected to increase in the years to come. "We are excited to expand access to our M.S. in Data Science to meet growing demand," Phil Bourne, director of the Data Science Institute, says in the story.
Data science education continues to evolve at places of higher learning, including an expansion in the number and type of degrees. Two colleges in Tennessee, Vanderbilt University and Middle Tennessee State University, recently launched data science institutes with the goal of creating a master's-level degree programs, according to the Nashville Post.
Earlier this month, Clarkson University announced the creation of a new bachelor's-level data science program. The program, which ramps up on the New York university's campus in the fall of 2019, will focus heavily on math, statistics, and computer science. Tufts University is also ramping up a new MS in Data Analytics degree program, which will also enroll its first students in the fall of 2019, according to this story in TuftsNow.
UCSD added a bachelor's of science degree in data science last year, and has offered a master's level continuing education program for the past three or four years. "For the master's level, there isn't yet an official degree," Professor Freund says. "At some point, we definitely want to have a graduate program," most likely a master's program and not a PhD.
While demand for data scientists is exploding, it's largely an inter-disciplinary sport at many universities, crossing colleges of math, computer science, and business – and sometimes even humanities (at Tufts). Many universities are creating their own data science degree programs, but there's some debate as to whether it has the weight to stand by itself.
In the classical Venn diagram, data scientists possess three overlapping sets of skills: math and statistics, computer science, and business expertise. While the math and computer skills can typically be taught at universities, it's the third area – expertise in solving real-world business problems – that is often the toughest to come by.
That's leading to an expansion of data science and analytics courses in Master's of Business Administration programs too. MBA programs at UCSD, University of Michigan, and UofVA each offer analytics concentrations for their business-focused programs, according to this story on the Find MBA website.
While folks can ostensibly get trained in all three data science disciplines as defined by the Venn diagram, there are some who say that data scientists simply cannot be minted from colleges, and must be hardened through experience in industry.
"I still maintain that a pure unicorn data scientists can't come out of a university with decades of subject matter expertise and deep and broad statistical knowledge and the ability to build software at scale," Cloudera Chief Information and Data Officer Amy O'Connor told Datanami recently.
By contrast, those entering data science from a more science-oriented program are more apt to have the statistical background that a classic data scientist should have, she says. "I think the core data science curricula isn't quite hitting it yet. They need to break it down a little bit more," she says.
As the core curricula around data science gets hammered out, people may consider cross-training as a good way to ensure one's skills are suitable for real-world jobs in data science. O'Connor recommends that folks who have software engineering skills can benefit from taking math and stats courses, while those with PhDs or master's in math and stats could do well to take programming courses.
Regardless of which approach one takes, demand for those with data science skills will continue to increase as data volumes mount. According to Glassdoor, the average data scientist earns $120,000 per year. With 215,000 job openings for data scientists, according to Indeed, the data scientists role will continue to have good job protection nationwide.

News: what is h rap brown doing today
The trial court excluded that evidence because the agent had been investigated and cleared in the Philadelphia incident. (Having converted to Islam and changed his name to Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, Brown, now 76, is currently serving a sentence for murder at the U.S. Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona). With 2 AI-Like Candidates, Is This Apocalypse Now? He was living in Atlanta as an imam when authorities say he shot two sheriff's deputies, killing one.

Prosecutors sought the death penalty, but jurors chose life in prison without the possibility of parole. "An organization of terror," is what President Trump tweeted about Antifa, whose clashes with the "Proud Boys" brought Portland to a standstill this weekend. Al-Amin, according to testimony, then produced a 9 mm handgun and shot Kinchen three times as he lay bleeding in the street. The defense suggested the weapons had been planted by federal authorities. The guns used to shoot the Georgia deputies that were found near Al-Amin in Alabama also had no prints, and his lawyers contend that the agent planted them. Email .

Bank depozytariusz – bank pełniący funkcję depozytariusza wobec wskazanych grup podmiotów rynku kapitałowego.

Najczęściej jest to bank pełniący rolę depozytariusza funduszy inwestycyjnych lub funduszy emerytalnych.

Banki depozytariusze w Polsce
W odniesieniu do funduszy inwestycyjnych prawne usytuowanie depozytariusza jest określone w Ustawie z dnia 27 maja 2004 r. o funduszach inwestycyjnych i zarządzaniu alternatywnymi funduszami inwestycyjnymi.

Departamenty banków koordynujące pełnienie funkcji banku depozytariusza współpracują w Radzie Banków Depozytariuszy.

W Polsce funkcję tę pełnią m.in.:
 Bank Polska Kasa Opieki SA
 Bank Handlowy w Warszawie SA
 Bank Millennium SA
 Raiffeisen Bank Polska SA
 Bank BPH SA
 BNP Paribas Bank Polska SA
 BNP Paribas SA Oddział w Polsce
 BNP Paribas Securities Services SA Oddział w Polsce
 Powszechna Kasa Oszczędności Bank Polski SA
 mBank SA
 Deutsche Bank Polska SA
 ING Bank Śląski SA
 Santander Bank Polska SA
 Societe Generale Oddział w Polsce

Najpopularniejszym depozytariuszem pod względem aktywów w kontrolowanych funduszach jest Bank Handlowy w Warszawie S.A. Od wielu lat zajmuje on wysoką pozycję. Tuż za nim uplasował się mBank S.A., a trzecie miejsce należy do Powszechnej Kasy Oszczędności Banku Polskiego SA.

Ramy prawne
Zasady (prawa, zobowiązania) świadczenia usługi depozytariusza funduszy inwestycyjnych określone są w ustawie o funduszach inwestycyjnych [z 2004 roku]. Ponadto, świadczenie usług wobec konkretnego klienta odbywa się na podstawie umowy (umowa o prowadzenie rejestru aktywów funduszu).

Zgodnie z ustawą bankiem depozytariuszem może być:
 bank krajowy, który spełnia określone wymogi: kapitałowe (fundusze własne co najmniej 100 mln zł);
 Krajowy Depozyt Papierów Wartościowych SA;
 odpowiedni oddział instytucji kredytowej, posiadający siedzibę w Polsce (z kapitałem przydzielonym do tego oddziału co najmniej 100 mln zł).

Obowiązki depozytariusza polegają na:
 zabezpieczeniu majątkowym funduszu (prowadzenie rachunków bankowych, prowadzenie rejestru aktywów),
 zapewnieniu prawidłowości rozliczeń funduszu z uczestnikami (poprzez kontrolę systemu tych rozliczeń, oraz – standardowo – prowadzenie rachunków rozliczeniowych i monitorowanie ruchów na tych rachunkach),
 weryfikacji (i potwierdzaniu prawidłowości) wyceny funduszu (faktycznie wystarcza potwierdzenie, że aktywów netto oraz wartość jednostki/certyfikatu ustalona przez fundusz ma wartość prawidłową [w ustawie wskazana zgodność z prawem i statutem danego funduszu], z akceptowalną pewnością [depozytariusz dokłada starań, by mechanizmy kontroli wyliczeń, prowadzenia ksiąg były adekwatne do potrzeb i operacji funduszu]),
 zapewnieniu, ze rozliczenia funduszu (w tym z kontrahentami oraz uczestnikami) dokonywane są terminowo,
 zapewnienie prawidłowego (zgodnie z prawem i statutem) wykorzystania dochodów funduszu.

Depozytariusz prawnie jest zobligowany do działania wobec towarzystwa w przypadkach stwierdzonych nieprawidłowości, a za zaniechania, nienależyte wykonanie określonych obowiązków odpowiada prawnie.
W trakcie tworzenia funduszu (w trakcie zapisów) depozytariusz prowadzi rachunek (oprocentowany – odsetki powiększają kwotę wpłaty), a także weryfikuje prawidłowość zapisów (subskrypcji).
W przypadku likwidacji funduszu zwykle jest likwidatorem funduszu.
Depozytariuszowi nie wolno zlecić zarządzania portfelem funduszu (zakaz ustawowy – art. 46 ustawy o funduszach inwestycyjnych).
Ponadto – zapewne dla uniknięcia podejrzeń o konfliktu interesów – bank, ani jego pracownicy nie mogą zawierać transakcji z funduszem.

Majątek funduszu nie może być przedmiotem egzekucji kierowanej przeciwko bankowi depozytariuszowi (a więc aktywa funduszu są zabezpieczone w przypadku upadłości banku).

Bank depozytariusz jest wskazany w statucie i w prospekcie informacyjnym funduszu, a jego wybór albo zmiana jest zatwierdzany przez Komisję Nadzoru Finansowego (KNF). KNF jest także informowana o osobach wykonujących w imieniu depozytariusza czynności związane z tą funkcją. Nadzór ze strony KNF polega także na wypełnianiu przez bank depozytariusza szeregu obowiązków informacyjnych wobec KNF (w tym weryfikacji zgodności działania z ograniczeniami limitowymi [ustawowymi bądź statutowymi]). Za nienależyte, niewłaściwe działanie bank depozytariusz może zostać ukarany przez KNF (art. 232 ustawy o funduszach inwestycyjnych).
Pracownicy banku są związani tajemnicą zawodową w zakresie spraw funduszu.

A joint report from BestCities Global Alliance, GainingEdge and Rehabilitation International has showcased destinations that are meeting the needs of delegates with disabilities.
The cities highlighted in the Universal Accessibility in Meetings report have innovated and adapted in order to meet the needs of people with disabilities, in both tourism and meetings and events.
Here are the cities picked out by the report as excellent examples of accessible destinations.
Berlin's approach to universal accessibility is fully embedded in the city's policies and supported by its decision makers. Its "accessBerlin" app is an invaluable travel aid for all visitors with special needs. Berlin's accessible hotels have been certified under the Reisen für Alle ("Tourism for All") nationwide certification scheme.
In the planning stages, the Ágora Bogotá Convention Center made universal accessibility a key focus. Staff at Ágora are trained and certified in attending to people with disabilities. The centre hosted One Young World Summit 2017 where the global business campaign on disability inclusion, called #valuable, was launched.
Universal access for people with disabilities is a compulsory requirement for the grading of all types of tourism accommodation and meetings, exhibitions, and special events venues.
A Danish initiative called God Adgang (Good Access) is an Accessibility Label scheme, which includes seven labels aiming at different groups of disabilities, each with different requirements for accessibility.
Dubai's 'My Community – A City for Everyone' project means that new public spaces have had to fulfil an emirate-wide, disabled-friendly code while many older buildings are being retrofitted ahead of Expo 2020 Dubai. This is in line with the Dubai Disability Strategy 2020 using smart technologies and facilities aimed at integrating those with disabilities into the society.
As 'Accessibility for All' is a key priority within Edinburgh's community, there is a range of information and tools available for conference organisers and delegates visiting the city. Local initiatives assist hotels and venues welcoming guests with disabilities. Among others, the Edinburgh Airport and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) have led the way with their inclusive approach and are designated autism-friendly.
Madrid has taken great strides to adapt and improve its tourism infrastructure for universal access. The city has worked with accessibility expert PREDIF (Spanish Representative Platform for the Physically Disabled), as well as different tourism associations and organisations.
As part of Melbourne's 'Good Access is Good Business' initiative, a study by Monash University revealed that businesses enjoy a 20-25% increase turnover for universally accessible retail environments compared to non-accessible environments. The city's 'Open Innovation Competition' yielded creative solutions that use smart technologies to create a universally accessible city.
Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA) introduced a Universal Design Guide in 2007 to offer guidelines in the design of products and environment. The Accessibility Fund encourages building owners to include accessibility features for the visually and hearing impaired, such as braille signage and hearing loops.
Efforts to make Japan increasingly barrier-free have gained momentum ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. Along with promoting measures to make railway stations, roads and buildings barrier-free, the Tokyo 2020 Accessibility Guidelines will emphasise the importance of city planning that is friendly to everyone.

Overview of the market and access information for international trading companies.
In a European comparison, Switzerland has a small fruit and vegetable market. However, it is well developed and is characterised by supplies of exceptionally high quality. Half of all consumed fruit and vegetables is imported. Fruit and vegetables that can be traditionally and naturally cultivated in Switzerland are subject to a flexible import system. Should there be no domestic production of a certain fruit or vegetable, these products can be imported in unlimited quantities and at very low customs duties. Should demand exceed domestic production, tariff-rate quotas are released. Whenever local supplies are sufficient, it is only possible to import fruit and vegetables for a high customs duty. Where other products are concerned, in particular bananas, pineapples, exotic fruits, grapes, peaches, nectarines, citrus fruit and melons, the imports are not restricted with regard to quantity and customs duty.

Solaris korrigert is a Norwegian narrative poem by Øyvind Rimbereid, published in 2004 in a book of poetry bearing the same title. The title can be translated into English as "Solaris Corrected", and is a reference to Stanisław Lem's novel Solaris. The poem is a 35 page narrative about a dystopic future, told in a fictional future language that is a mix of Rimbereid's Stavanger dialect, English, German and old Norse. The poem has won multiple literary awards, and has been adapted into a theatrical performance and an opera.

Narrative
The poem has been described as a "dramatic monologue" with a lyrical I who is the overseer of a group of robots working on the bottom of the ocean in a future where robots have taken over much human work. The story is set in the year 2480, in "a future society owned, regulated, and controlled by what seems to be a privatized corporation".

Language
The language in Solaris korrigert is its most remarkable feature. Rimbereid has created "a future language for the post-industrial North Sea coast population" that references both the hybrid language of early North Sea oil workers, the code switching of internet-using Norwegians in the early 21st century and Euro English. The language has also been compared to early twentieth century avant-garde poetry, and in particular Russian futurists like Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchyonykh, who dreamt of transnationalism languages.

The opening lines demonstrate the strangeness of this constructed language:

It is easier to understand the text when reading it aloud, or if reading it while listening to an audio recording of Rimbereid reading the first few pages of the poem.

The language has been described as "particularly fertile" because it "makes possible slack, shiftings and the occurrence of something new"

Reception
Solaris korrigert has been the subject of many scholarly analyses. It is commonly found on university level syllabi for Nordic literature and comparative literature degrees and is frequently the subject of MA theses.

Eirik Vassenden frames the poem as a critical dystopia, that is, it doesn't simply depict "a world worse than our own", which can, as Fredric Jameson has argued, make dystopias very conservative; the poem in Vassenden's words "also contains possible utopian elements".  Vassenden's analysis focuses on this element of hope in the poem.

In 2007 a jury of literary critics declared it one of the 25 best Norwegian literary works of all time.

Adaptations

 The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet performed an opera version of the poem titled "Ad undas – Solaris korrigert", composed by Øyvind Mæland and directed by Lisa Charlotte Baudouin Lie.
 In 2015 Det norske teatret created a performance of the play directed by Peer Perez Øian with Ane Dahl Torp as the only actor. The performance won the Hedda award for "Beste forestilling", "Beste kvinnelige skuespiller" og "Beste audiovisuell design".
