The romantic setting of Lake Orta… An appointment with love
Irresistible. A scenography accomplice of every falling in love, there is in fact no better appointment to give to a woman you want to conquer, Orta San Giulio always spectator of tender loves, a first kiss, a promise of eternal love.
At the foot of the mountains west of the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, there is Lake Orta, formerly called Lake San Giulio, the westernmost of the pre-Alpine lakes, originated from the southern face of the Simplon glacier. A mirror of water with an islet in the centre, a few tens of metres from the picturesque village of Orta, which rises on the east bank of the lake and is proud to show all its history crystallized in its cobblestone alleyways, dry stone walls and stone lose roofs. Basically nothing has changed since September 1893 when, in the waters between the square overlooking the lake and the island of San Giulio, victory in the European rowing championship was disputed. The first in history. «The public flocked in cars, omnibus, landau – said the correspondent of the Gazzetta Piemontese. And the posters hung on the columns of the Palazzotto, the ancient seat of the government, reminded us that, in addition to the races provided for in the Championship, there would also be a Regatta between "the Ladies of the town and the Villas". The youngsters were getting together along the banks at training time».
123 years have passed since then but Orta does not seem to be at all different, the restorations have revived the frescoes on the facades and the old signs, the houses are renovated and well maintained, the taste of the gardens is identical, the ferry that connects the mainland and the island lands in the square exactly as once. The feeling of looking closely at the past is palpable. There is no square metre of this ancient village, vertically or horizontally, that does not deserve to be observed. Every house, every wall, every roof, every garden, every hallway is full of details. Perhaps because the history of the country is ancient and the corner of the world in which he lives is hidden, reserved, not noisy. As well as the alleyways that flow into the lake, with those stone walls where you can sit and watch the moon mirrored in the lake, where the darkness of the night is interrupted only by some distant light or by a fish jumping into the water or by the rocking of a boat. A personal, intimate, collected, overflowing with sweetness and charm, an atmosphere that conquered Gianni Rodari who set the novel There was twice Baron Lamberto, or, The mysteries of the island of San Giulio, then Umberto Eco who closed the book Number zero with the phrase "The island of San Giulio will shine again in the sun" and in 2015 even Tornatore was kidnapped by this lake and chose it as the set for part of the filming of "la Corrispondenza": Borgo Ventoso is actually the island of San Giulio.

The University of Memphis announced Tuesday morning that Tom Bowen had stepped down as athletics director to pursue another opportunity.
The school named former Memphis Redbirds President Allie Prescott as interim athletics director while it conducts a search for Bowen's permanent replacement.
Bowen was hired as athletics director in summer 2012, taking over just before the Tigers made the move to the American Athletic Conference in 2013.
He is credited with helping revitalize the Memphis football program and hiring coach Mike Norvell, who has won more games in his first three seasons than any other Tigers football coach.

Bowen also oversaw the athletics department's "Time to Shine" fundraising campaign, which allowed the school to construct the Laurie-Walton Family Basketball Center that opened in November 2017. Construction on the football team's indoor practice facility, meanwhile, is in progress as well.
In June 2018, Bowen was named to the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee.
Prior to arriving at Memphis, Bowen served as the athletics director at San Jose State for eight years.
Why did Tom Bowen leave?
University President M. David Rudd announced in March that Bowen agreed to a six-month extension of his current contract while Bowen and the school negotiated a new deal. Rudd said in a statement at the time the short length of the extension was because the impending AAC media rights contract had not yet been announced.
"I'm excited about my future," Bowen said in an interview in March. "The contract process is ongoing, and once all the finances are secure, I think it'll move forward very quickly."
Bowen initially signed a five-year contract that included an annual salary of $400,000. He then agreed to a two-year extension in 2015 that did not alter the financial terms of the original agreement.
During Prescott's introductory press conference Tuesday, which Bowen did not attend, Prescott said that his hiring had been something that was in the works for "several weeks."
In recent years, Bowen's name had come up as a candidate for several Power 5 conference athletics director jobs around the country. He was also reportedly a candidate to become the Sun Belt Conference commissioner earlier this year.
"I don't want to speak for Tom. (The reason for his resignation is) a question that he would need to answer," Rudd said. "Tom submitted a resignation; I accepted it ..."
Rudd later added: "He wants to look at other alternatives and other options."
What's next for Allie Prescott?

Prescott, who will serve as interim athletics director, graduated from Memphis State in 1969 and Memphis State University Law School in 1972.
He was named Pacific Coast League Executive of the Year in 2000 while serving as president and general manager of the Memphis Redbirds.
First and foremost for the temporary replacement is to continue the momentum of Memphis' athletics programs, specifically men's basketball and football.

Prescott said that he met with both Mike Norvell and Penny Hardaway prior to his acceptance and said that neither coach had any specific requests for him.
"I just looked them in the eye – they have so much momentum, both of them, in their own program – and I told them that whatever I can do personally, and whatever I can do as an athletic director to assist them, that's what I stand to do," Prescott said.
"I would presume to say that I won't do much right now except stay out of the way of Coach Hardaway because it seems like things are going awfully well right now, and the same for Coach Norvell."
Prescott grew up as a fan of the Tigers, noting in his introductory statement that he can't remember missing many football or basketball games.
"I wanted to be a Tiger all my life. I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a Tiger," Prescott said.
The search starts now
The search for the permanent athletics director begins immediately, Rudd said.
Prescott will not be considered for the full-time job, and does not have an interest in taking over the position long-term.
"It's not a fixed time frame," Rudd said. "The primary concern is – we've had good success by any metric that you look at. We've got good engagement and performance of our athletes academically. We want to make sure we keep that momentum ...
"And, we want adequate time during this interim period to make sure that we make thoughtful, careful decisions about our future of athletics and our permanent athletic director for the department. We want to make sure (we) have a deliberate process that we can engage in, so we don't feel any rush to do that."
Rudd also said that the university will put together a committee and will consider hiring a firm to aid in the search.
"We have not finalized the committee. We will use a committee. And we have not made a decision about a search firm or if we will engage in that process," Rudd said. "We anticipate that we will have a decision pretty quickly on that."

Some manufacturers pay for bikes that are more specific for your complementary of riding. If you plan upon riding your dirt bike as a leisure activity, you should regard as being if you would considering to ride trails, tracks or both.

A new dirt bike's resale value drops as soon as you leave the stock in the same way as your extra toy. If you declare that you don't considering riding your dirt bike, it is more hard to acquire a fine compensation on your investment if you would afterward to sell it right away.

Whether you choose to buy new or used, your bike will eventually be taken apart and put put up to together, either by you or an experienced mechanic. in imitation of you preserve your bike yourself it is a lot easier to fix problems at the track or wherever you ride. No business how without difficulty you preserve your bike, something will eventually break! Having some spare parts handy, such as spark plugs, and a toolbox filled taking into consideration the seize tools is always helpful.
Can you tell me more or less the promote history of the bike?
Once once more what are you planning to do? If you are just riding for fun a two-stroke is cheaper as far and wide as maintenance. Four-strokes have valves and less period surrounded by tune-ups. Two strokes following the proper oil and gas amalgamation will last a long time. You may be thinking "They both have valves," and they realize but two-strokes have reed valves and four-strokes have valves that show in unison subsequently a camshaft and need to stay in epoch afterward the crank shaft and piston consequently they don't hit each other. If they are over-revved and they create contact, a valve will fine-tune or rupture and that will be very costly.
If you've curtains every of the research and you are nevertheless not definite which is the best choice, you could just pick your favorite Supercross rider's manufacturer; or you could start once your favorite color and create a vacation to your local motorsports accretion and have a salesperson portion what they know on a particular bike.

After studying fine art at the University of Guelph, McCarthy's appreciation of Dutch landscape painting of the 17th century stimulated his passion for the watercolours. He developed an outstanding watercolour technique to convey soft impressionist light. In scale alone, often on paper five feet by three feet, and in absolute command of the transparency of this medium, the artist achieved memorable results and challenged the very concept of this traditional art form.
Based in southwestern Ontario, McCarthy first painted and exhibited the farm country surrounding Fergus, with its Grand River and majestic waterfalls. Gradually, searching for expanded views and coastlines, a family visit to Atlantic Canada led to summer images of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The artist always saw himself as an ambassador of the Maritimes. "I must be there to feel the wind and air, so that I can bring these thoughts and visions back to the studio," says McCarthy. His plethora of visual discoveries soon became oil paintings. The new medium allowed him to adopt and refine the light and transparency that made his watercolours so memorable. The small watercolour studies provide him with confidence and comfort in a medium for which he is renowned. McCarthy chooses his best efforts in watercolour and commits them to a large format in oil. Enlightened by his constant travels throughout Canada and abroad, McCarthy always seeks new imagery and ideas for his compositions. He looks for subjects or situations imbued not merely with beauty but with a sense of angst and tension.
McCarthy's recent is an evocative series of watercolour studies and oil paintings of the gently rolling landscape of southern Ontario around the artist's home in Elora, and wondrously detailed studies of Nova Scotia with its windswept coastlines and haunting lone houses in east coast landscapes. The Atlantic, with all its austere foreboding appears in much of McCarthy's work. The vast body of water holds his eye in constant fascination and respect with its rugged topography and tonality changes. Houses like the ones in the paintings "In the Bay", "Houses on Stilts", and "Atlantic Retreat" are perched on cliffs and precipices clinging to life. McCarthy finds solace and retreat in these places of solitude. He leaves the viewer with a resonant and haunting afterimage.
McCarthy's work transforms the common object, ordinary person, or familiar landscape. The colour, light, and texture in each composition engage the viewer. We recognize the subject but, more than viewing it, we experience the moment in time that impels the viewer's mind to thoughts of human history. The counties of Wellington and Waterloo are atmospheric; early morning vistas with the cool mist rising, softening grass, trees, and water in scenes like "Misty Morning", "Tired Road", and "Spring Field and Lilacs". In the work "At Dusk" and the watercolour "Study for Waiting for Halloween", McCarthy shows us a different time of day and that smoky gray skies and dusk make for great paintings. He captures this low light with amazing clarity and precision. Whatever the subject matter he chooses to paint, McCarthy reveals its spirit, its inner self, and its mysticism.

Adelaide keen to 'explore' hosting the Australian GP
Date published: March 16 2017
Although Melbourne has a contract to host the Australian Grand Prix through to 2023, Adelaide City Council is keen to "explore" the possibility of taking on the race.
Adelaide last hosted a Formula 1 grand prix back in 1995 before the race moved to the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne.
Adelaide, though, is keen to get it back.
According to The Advertiser, the Adelaide City Council has proposed writing to the South Australian State Government about exploring the possibility.
"There's a certain nostalgia that the grand prix brings, and I think everyone in the room is old enough to remember the halcyon days so I'm glad that the council will write to the State Government and at least indicate that we'd like this explored," Councillor Alex Antic told The Advertiser.
"We'd just like to see the State Government take the steps to see if it is viable and whether a pitch could be made."
However, South Australian Tourism Minister Leon Bignell has already quashed the idea and labelled the Adelaide City Council "clowns."
"These are the most infuriating people in South Australia, this city council," said Bignell.
"If they want the grand prix, how about they put in some money so we can get the grandstands up a bit quicker, which will make their rate payers happy.
"Let's have a look at Bathurst — their council put in $6 million in the [Supercars] race.
"These clowns put in $50,000 and charge us $100,000.
"They are big on complaining but not putting their hands in their pockets to help their ratepayers. We're not interested."
The current contract with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation to run the race in Melbourne runs until 2023.

New Islamist Alliance Alters Mideast Dynamic
Editorial Staff February 17, 2006
Call it the new "axis of Islam," or, more accurately, the anti-American and anti-Israeli alliance.
In the wake of strong performances by Islamist forces at the ballot box in recent months there's a new power rising in the Middle East.
Hussein Hajj Hassan, one of 14 Hizballah members in the Lebanese parliament, said the new alliance was cemented in a little-publicized summit in Damascus last month attended by leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hizballah, as well as Iranian President Ahmedinejad and Syrian leader Assad.
There's little question that Iran is seen as the true leader of the new grouping. The otherwise bare walls of the Hizballah office in Beirut are dominated by oversized portraits of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khameini, and his predecessor, Ayatollah Khomaini.
Referring specifically to Hizballah's ties with Iran, Syria, and the Hamas-led PA, Hajj Hassan said, "We have common interests, a common history, and a common political [agenda]. We are allies because we have very many subjects in common."
Fadia Kiwan, a political science professor at St. Joseph's University in Beirut, said, "There's a new power now. Iran, Syria, the Iraqi Shiites, Hamas, and Hizballah, backed by Russia."

Q: how to use the like operator to filter a stored procedure in sql Table 1
Number

924-852132-200
927-856985-200

table 2
Digits

927-856985-100
927-12360-400

select count(Number)
from table 1 inner join table 2 on Number=digits

so if i enter 927-856985-200 it must match it on the digits table. but the digits column only has the last 3 digits of 100 and the number table has the last 3 digits of 200 however the ten digits infront of it is the same, so the expected output would be a count of 1

A: Use left
select left(guid_column, 10)
from your_table

A: to achieve the above it would be

select count(number)  from table1 inner join table 2 on
  substring(number,0,12)=substring(digits,0,12)

3 teens with LOADED AK-47 hop wall into Trump's Mar-a-Lago by 'mistake,' claim they 'found' the gun
A trio of 15-year-old boys scaled a wall outside of US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida carrying a loaded AK-47 in a backpack, in what police say was a desperate attempt to evade arrest.
The three teens were taken into custody soon after they breached the walls around the resort on Friday, according to Palm Beach Police spokesman Michael Ogrodnick, who said the boys tried to dump a backpack containing a loaded semi-automatic Mini Draco AK-47 with a 14-round magazine. He added that the suspects likely did not know where they were at the time, however.
"Honestly, I really don't believe they even realized where they were in terms of location and proximity to Mar-a-Lago," Ogrodnick said, suggesting they did not deliberately break into the president's club, which is closed for the summer. The spokesman noted that the teens are fortunate Trump was not on site, as they may have been shot by Secret Service agents.
BREAKING: Three teenagers fleeing police while carrying a semiautomatic gun in a backpack jumped a wall at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, but probably didn't know that's where they were, authorities said Wednesday. https://t.co/E7Rr127e0t
— Miami Herald (@MiamiHerald) August 5, 2020
The three youths were initially seen in a parked car in the early hours of Friday some two miles north of Mar-a-Lago, local media said, citing a police report. They fled when an officer attempted a traffic stop and eventually ended up on foot, scaling a wall surrounding the club grounds. Police used a helicopter and a K-9 unit to locate the teens, who never attempted to enter any buildings on the resort. They claim they found the loaded weapon, and as of Wednesday police have no leads on its owner.
The boys all remain in custody at a juvenile detention facility, each charged with trespassing with a firearm, burglary with a firearm and resisting arrest without violence. The State Attorney's Office has yet to decide whether they will face felony charges as adults.
The incident is not the first attempted intrusion at the resort, dubbed the "Southern White House," where Trump often spends his weekends. In January, Secret Service agents opened fire on a SUV that tried to force its way through a security checkpoint at the club, resulting in two arrests following a short police chase. Just a few weeks prior, an Iranian national reportedly armed with "several knives" was arrested on the bridge outside the resort, while in 2019 two Chinese tourists were caught trespassing on club grounds.

Nikola Hopes to Wow With Product Show at Nikola World Event
August 28, 2018 by John O'Dell
Nikola Motor hopes to wow investors and potential customers with a product display at its "Nikola World" open house in April. (Photo: Nikola)
Fuel cell truck pioneer Nikola Motor will find out next year whether hydrogen fuel cell trucks and fueling stations can draw a crowd of green truck fans when it hosts a three-day open house in Phoenix.
The April 16-18 event is dubbed Nikola World to signify the fast-growing company's desire "to create a better place to live, where emissions are eliminated," said Trevor Milton, Nikola's founder and chief executive.
The event will be used to showcase the first pre-production models of Nikola's Class 8 fuel cell truck and the production Nikola NZT electric all-terrain vehicle. It will also display a 2.3-megawatt hydrogen fueling station that Milton says is a model for a string of more than 700 stations the company intends to build throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Wet 'n Wild?
Nikola also promises a few surprises and hinted of one in its promotional photo for the event.
The teaser photo shows three sets of headlights, each on a different, obscured vehicle: The middle set are Nikola Two day cab lamps, and the lights on the left belong to the NZT all-terrain vehicle. The third set is for a much smaller vehicle that could be a personal watercraft the company has touted as a future product of its Nikola Powersports division.
The event, open to investors, customers and potential customers on the first two days, will welcome the public on day three. Advance reservations will be required.
Nikola won't disclose the location until it opens reservations Dec. 3, but expectations are that it will be held on or near the grounds of the 15-acre, 200,000-square-foot headquarters and research and development campus Nikola that is building in Phoenix.
Promo Pro
Milton has proven very adept at promoting his company. Nikola recently announced that it had raised $100 million in new investor funding in just one week — with a steady stream of announcements that keep potential investors and customers interested, said Michael Ramsey, transportation analyst with Gartner Inc. in Detroit.
As for the business case for events such as Nikola World, "it all depends," Ramsey said.
"If they have vehicles there in a state of readiness that show lots of innovation, then that can be very good at convincing investors, analysts, potential customers and the media that this is real and worth paying attention to," Ramsey told Trucks.com.
"if not, well, that can hurt a company's chances," he said.
The event makes marketing sense, others said.
"It's a good way of drumming up interest, especially as they have a huge PR job to overcome the general skepticism about a new technology and fuel," said Antti Lindstrom, trucking industry analyst with IHS Markit.
Nikola's World
Milton and his backers founded Nikola Motor in Salt Lake City just four years ago to develop and market a low-emissions heavy truck.

After exploring the possibilities of a battery-electric and natural gas hybrid, the company two years ago switched its sights to hydrogen fuel cell technology. Fuel cell vehicles run on electricity produced on-board from hydrogen gas and are classed as zero emission. They emit only a trickle of steam and distilled water — the byproduct of combining hydrogen with oxygen in the fuel cell.
Since making the switch, Nikola has logged almost $11 billion in non-binding advance reservations. The largest is from brewing giant Anheuser-Busch, which recently said it intended to replace much of its long-haul delivery fleet with 800 Class 8 Nikola trucks.
Milton decided last year to move from Utah to Arizona. In addition to its headquarters complex, Nikola plans to break ground on a 500-acre manufacturing campus near Phoenix early next year, Milton told Trucks.com.
Nikola has developed two fuel cell trucks, a day cab model and a sleeper cab, and Milton said they would be able to travel 1,000 miles or more on a single fill-up with compressed hydrogen gas from one of Nikola's fueling stations.
The trucks were designed and built by Nikola and feature futuristic, streamlined design elements made possible by the absence of a large internal-combustion engine.
The preproduction Nikola Two, the day cab model, will be shown at the event.
Electric car maker Tesla is considered a potential rival because it has announced plans for a battery-electric truck and its cab design is strikingly similar — a fact that sparked a still-pending $2-billion patent infringement suit by Nikola against Tesla.
In addition to the preproduction truck, Nikola will use its April open house to showcase its battery-electric NZT all-terrain vehicle. The NZT is available in four models with up to 590 horsepower and 722 pound-feet of torque. It is available with several battery options that provide 90 to 150 miles of off-road range.
Nikola's NZT electric all-terrain vehicle will be one of the stars of the company's April open house. (Photo: Nikola)
The third announced showpiece is the Nikola fuel cell station, built in conjunction with Norwegian hydrogen production equipment and fueling station developer Nel ASA.
A key element of Nikola's marketing plan is that it will offer its trucks for lease only, for periods of up to a million miles, with free fueling for the life of the lease at any Nikola hydrogen station.
The retail stations will be larger than the display station at Nikola's open house and are designed to produce, compress and store up to 8,000 kilograms of hydrogen gas per day. That's the energy equivalent of about 8,900 gallons of low-sulfur diesel.
The stations will use renewable power resources such as solar, hydro and wind when possible to separate hydrogen from water in a process called electrolyzing. Use of renewable energy to power the electrolyzer will give Nikola the ability to claim that from fuel production to fuel consumption, its trucks are true zero-emissions vehicles.

In addition to the vehicle and fuel station program, Nikola will be holding a job fair throughout the show.
The Nikola trucks will be in operation daily at the event, but only a few invited guests will be allowed to ride in them; others will have to be content watching.
Nikola will begin accepting reservations for attendance Dec. 3, on its website.
Public admission — reservations required — on April 18 is free.
Hydrogen Electric Trucks Start to Show Potential Despite Hurdles
Cyndia Zwahlen August 1, 2018
A California Hydrogen Business Council report says hydrogen electric trucks need infrastructure funding but are the best bet to supplant diesel.
Nicole Wakelin
Ad van der Meer August 28, 2018
One kg of hydrogen requires about 55 kWh to produce, compress and deliver. With 2.3 MW continious power one can produce 41.82 kg per hour or 1003.64 kg per day. 8000 kg per day obviously requires a power connection that is 8 times bigger.
I hope you can ask them to clear this up. 1000 kg of hydrogen per day might not be enough for 20 trucks per day.
Jerry Hirsch August 29, 2018
Here is the clarification from Nikola and how we have updated the article: The retail stations will be larger than the display station at Nikola's open house and are designed to produce, compress and store up to 8,000 kilograms of hydrogen gas per day. That's the energy equivalent of about 8,900 gallons of low-sulfur diesel.

It's been a tough couple months for Raider Nation, and the Chargers are preparing for the Silver and Black fans to let off some steam in Los Angeles.
The L.A. transplants were preparing for their game against the Raiders this weekend by piping in crowd noise to simulate game conditions for their offense, according to The Athletic. It's generally not an unusual step for NFL teams to take, except that the Chargers will be the home team.
The Chargers, who moved from San Diego two years ago, play in the StubHub Center, which already is the smallest stadium in the NFL by far, and have had trouble building a fan base in Los Angeles.
The Raiders, on the other hand, travel well and maintain a large following in the Los Angeles area, despite having left to return to Oakland in 1995.
Simulating crowd noise for a home game suggests the Chargers think Raiders fans will overtake their stadium and disrupt their playcalling.
That marks a rare victory for fans of a franchise that has started 1-3 under one of the most expensive coaches in NFL history whose first order of business was to let a generational superstar take his talents elsewhere.
So while teams may not fear the Raiders, the Chargers, at least, are getting ready for Raider Nation.

The rainy season in the tropics is no joke… even less so when on two wheels. There is so much of Guatemala and El Salvador that I did not see because the towering, and sometimes smoking, volcanoes were constantly covered in clouds. There were brief moments of clarity when I could gaze in awe upon Central America's piece of the Ring of Fire, which made me forget the hours of soaking I endured to get there.
I entered El Salvador along the coast, and hugged it until La Libertad where I turned inland to San Salvador. I'm not a surfer and I rarely want to stay on the beach. I love the peace of looking at the ocean, and the overwhelming feeling of expansiveness it brings, but sand flies and mosquitoes make this difficult to enjoy during the rainy season. So I spent a couple of night listening to the surf, and headed to one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
Considering that I have been to half of the world's 20 most dangerous cities, and have never felt in danger, and it is worth reflecting as to why. Danger is a relative thing. Statistics show murder rates, aggravated assaults or robberies, and things of that nature, but there are important details they rarely show: most crimes are not perpetrated against visitors and tourists; most crimes involve drugs or weapons; most of the dangerous situations for a tourist are related to their stupidity.
There are simple rules that anyone can follow which will mitigate most of the risk of traveling to a "dangerous" place. First, don't be stupid. It's that simple. Don't walk around with a Rolex, flashing your new iphone, and whipping out a stack of cash to pay for a soda. Local or tourist you are bound to be robbed. Don't go to questionable neighborhoods alone, go with a local, and definitely don't do it at night. Don't attempt to buy drugs or guns, smuggle them across borders, or deal in them. If you do need to buy drugs, find a gringo, there's always some hippie around with a stash. Don't act as though you are the great white hope and treat everyone as your servants. That's it. It really is that simple.
The exception of course is a country at war – that is a kind of danger that is best avoided by not going there, as random bullets don't really care about your Rolex.
And my favorite rule for staying safe wherever you may travel: smile. Acknowledge the people around you, be generous with your smiles and nods. If you speak a little of the language, speak it. Buy a soda or some gum from a street vendor (with coins), let people see that you are not there to gawk at them, rather to learn about them, to share the experience of life, if but for a moment.
There was little that grabbed my attention in El Salvador. The indigenous part of their society has been well eradicated and assimilated, so there was little variety in language, dress, art, food… culture, in the country. Knowing one place meant knowing most of the rest. It was sad to see the homogenization, especially as contrasted with Guatemala where one can drive 10km to find a new language and dress and traditions.
The lack of indigenous culture did not mean the elimination of poverty however. Tin shacks were still the predominant structures I saw throughout the country. And as most of Central America, the ravages of war and drugs were very apparent. I was actually fortunate enough to stay with a colonel in the army but my Spanish was still not refined enough to ask the more delicate questions – it's much easier to speak to victims than aggressors.
But as is true in every country and city I have visited, the majority of the people were wonderful. Not quite as open and friendly as Mexicans (but few people in the world are), but still very Latino – which means I was always made to feel at home, always as a friend, always safe.
I spent a few days going to museums and eating pupusas in San Salvador. I always try to visit as many museums as I can as I find they hold an important key to the ethos, and often pathos, of a country. There were two that really stood out in San Salvador: Museo de Arte (Marte) and Centro de Monsignor Romero.
The memorial to Romero and the other murdered priests and nuns (during one of the army's purgings of people who stood for stupid things like human rights) was very moving. Looking at their personal articles (covered in blood and bullet holes), then through a photo album of the scene of the massacre, then stepping outside and really feeling that I was on the very ground where this took place not so long ago… all came together to produce a profound feeling of sadness. I saw the walls and floors and grass which were riddled in blood, guts, brains and bullets. In the very place where I stood, in the middle of a university campus, surrounded by lovely trees and flowers, these supporters of worker's rights and the revolution were, very much, savagely killed. Hard to shake off, and hard to understand the point of either side of a revolution.
The Museum of Art (Marte) was very nice, small, but nice. I was not left in awe, but there were a number of works which really captured the reality of life in Central America, and of the human struggle with position, place and time. I was able to witness the breadth of Salvadorian art and place it in the context of Latino culture in Central America. I was further solidified in my belief that art is vital to education. Sometimes a lot of the things we want to teach kids, about history, poverty, force, beauty… can only be conveyed (understood) through art. Two months of lectures may be ignored or simply not seep in, but one look at a painting of struggling laborers, with beautiful colors, and masterful brush strokes, and the message is inadvertently understood. We all learn differently, so books and lectures cannot be the only way we try to communicate and impart knowledge. This is particularly important in Latin America where reading, or even access to books, is very limited.
To wrap up my week in El Salvador I took a ride to a town known for its pineapples. I had no idea that pineapples grow on little agave looking bushes, I always thought they grew on palm trees. I also had no idea just how delicious a pineapple can be! Picked right off the bush, cleaned and sliced – it was the sweetest and juiciest fruit I have ever tasted!
With that sweetness still lingering in my mouth I continued south to Honduras. I had no intention on spending a lot of time there, but friends, pangs in the heart, and dengue had very different plans for me.


Are the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in cahoots with President Bush's reelection campaign? Has Kerry campaign chief Mary Beth Cahill held secret meetings with MoveOn.org to plan that group's media attack campaign? It doesn't matter.
Not unlike the computer world, where there is an arcane holy war going on. It pits those software companies that would like to keep their work completely private (Microsoft, Apple, and others) against a widespread, informal network of computer enthusiasts who have developed a computer operating system called Linux. In many respects, Linux is better than any other system out there – it is simple, stable, and easy to understand. It is also transparent: Nothing about how Linux is built or developed is secret or proprietary. People around the globe are constantly tinkering with it, adding useful features to the basic set of instructions, creating new hybrids and applications, and altering those created by earlier efforts. This informal system of fluid, decentralized, and public software development is collectively known as the "open source" movement.
Because modern election-campaign messages are so well crafted, the resulting campaigns are also open source. At their core is a message that is (like Linux), simple, stable, and easy to understand. The basic strategy is transparent. Independent groups can take over certain electioneering functions. The message is simple, so it's easy to fit outside efforts into an overall strategy without ever needing to coordinate with the home office. MoveOn.org can appoint itself the "Kerry attack machine" just as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth can pick up the "angry pit bull" mantle for the Bush organization, without knowledge or approval of campaign management.
What keeps the open source software movement from degenerating into just another shadowy source of programs that steal identities, hijack innocent web sites, and generally cause mischief? It's a robust set of both written and unwritten norms. Everyone knows the rules. For instance, the popular TV recording service, TiVo, runs on Linux. There are a number of websites devoted to "hacking" TiVo to add features and generally make it more useful. But there is a rule against working on applications that would allow home users to pirate copyrighted movies and make them public. This rule is unenforceable, but it has strong support.
In politics, there aren't any such norms. The stakes seem high enough to justify almost anything. And there is simply no way to curtail the free speech that independent groups are exercising without eviscerating a core freedom we hold dear in America.
But, election campaigns are unique in at least one key respect: They exist to elect an actual person into office. That person, the candidate, has ultimate authority over the actions of the campaign organization itself, and has immense moral power over those who work – even informally – on his or her behalf. It is up to the candidates themselves to set down the guidelines as to what kinds of help they will welcome, and what kinds of help they don't want.
They haven't yet. But there's still time before the debates.

Duke, Wuhan universities set up research institute
By Zhao Xinying (chinadaily.com.cn) Updated: 2014-11-18 16:13
Duke University of the US and Wuhan University jointly set up a research institute on Monday at Duke Kunshan University (DKU) in Kunshan, Jiangsu province.
The WHU-Duke Research Institute at DKU, which is also a joint venture by the two universities, aims to be a platform attracting faculty and students from all three educational institutions as well as scholars worldwide to collaborate on research projects of common interest.
Initially focusing on research in the physical sciences and engineering, the institute will also facilitate research on issues concerning China's development and economic transformation, contemporary Chinese thought and culture, and higher education internationalization.
Those from Wuhan and Duke have realized their interests in working together since the two universities signed their first agreement in 2001, Duke University president Richard Brodhead said.
DKU now provides a integral platform for further partnership between the US and Chinese institutions, Brodhead said.
Wuhan University president Li Xiaohong said establishing a research institute at DKU is crucial for developing its research capabilities.
"As far as I am concerned, other Sino-foreign joint venture universities haven't established such a research institute," Li said.
"By bringing experts in the fields of business, health and other areas together to conduct research, we hope to develop DKU's research capabilities…and to develop the WHU-Duke Research Institute into a world-class institution."

We're getting ready for our Too Many Tamales feast with Family Dinner Book Club, but first let's set up our festive tablescape! Too Many Tamales features a Mexican family getting ready to celebrate Christmas.
I researched Mexican Christmas traditions, and found that typical colors are vibrant rainbow colors for this season. The piñata was originally a Christmas tradition, and it was a 7 pointed star. Piñatas were filled with peanuts and candies. I made miniature piñatas for each plate and filled them with peanuts, candies, and small toys.
The kids and I learned how to make papel picado, and had fun making so many different designs. Some of them are Christmas themed, and some are not. Do yourself a favor and do a quick Google search for papel picado so you can see the impressive and intricate designs some artists some up with.
Finally, our table is filled with mini gifts. We used colorful tissue paper to wrap up candies, small toys, and small Christmas tree ornaments so guests to unwrap while waiting for the delicious festivities to begin.
What special Christmas traditions does your family have?


Which tests do you advise to assess the quality of RNA samples ?
In order to perform analysis with our SignArrays® and ensure high quality results, all RNAs must be assessed by spectrophotometry to measure the relative amount of RNA in each sample and determine their quality using the following criteria: The total RNA concentration must be greater than 40 µg/ml The A260/A280 ratio should be between 1.8 and 2.0 The A260/A230 ratio should be greater than 1.7 Moreover, electrophoresis on agarose gel allows to check the integrity of RNA.
How can we send you samples ?
You can send us your samples as: dried cell pellets or with Trizol (about 1ml for 1 to 10 x 106 cells or up to 100 mg of tissue) solutions of high quality RNA diluted with "RNAse-free" water. We recommend you sending us your samples in a polystyrene container filled with dry ice. The tubes must be clearly annotated, identified and accompanied by a descriptive document with all the required data for the analysis. You will receive a detailed sending protocol with your quote.
What is the required amount of cDNA for a SignArray analysis ?
The recommended cDNA amount for an analysis with a 96-well plate SignArray corresponds to almost all of the RT product made from an amount of between 500 ng and 1 μg of total RNA. For a 384-well plate, twice more cDNA is required. However, lower amounts of RNA can also be used.
Should we perform our analysis in duplicate or triplicate ?
How AnyGenes® controls the quality of the primers ?
In order to perform analysis with our SignArrays® and ensure high quality results, alEach pair of primers was validated in our laboratory. Thanks to very stringent design methods, these primers allow a specific, highly sensitive and reproducible amplification. In fact, our feature is based on the design of our primers, which is carried out on two exons, thereby avoiding amplification of genomic DNA contamination. Upon receipt, a quality control is performed for all pairs of primers and should therefore ensure reproducible results, qPCR optimal efficiency and a lack of primer-dimers formation. The specificity of the primers to their target cDNA sequence is also validated through the presence of a single peak at the melting curves and a single band on agarose gel corresponding to the expected size of the amplicon.
What should I do if my sample is contaminated with genomic DNA ?
A good qPCR laboratory practices must be respected to avoid any contamination, ie handle in a space called "DNA-free". Respect the extraction protocol recommended by the supplier. If traces of genomic DNA exist, we advise you to add a DNAse treatment step after RNA extraction. Moreover, our design minimizes the genomic DNA quantification.
What are the quality controls in your SignArrays ?
The SignArrays plates have four quality controls: 2 negative controls to ensure the quality of your preparation reaction mix 2 positive controls to check the qPCR performance. Moreover, a very low value of the positive controls standard deviation allows to check the reproducibility of qPCR reaction with our kit and your samples.
Which type of qPCR instrument should I use with your SignArrays ?
Our SignArrays are compatible with most of qPCR instruments. We will supply the adapted SignArrays plate format, mentioned during your order.
How much does a SignArrays plate cost ? And an analysis in your laboratory ?
The price of our SignArrays depends on the amount of ordered plates and the number of tests you want to perform. We offer very attractive prices and the most competitive of the market.
What would happen if I used my own mix with SignArrays ?
We recommend using our SignArrays with our reagents that we have optimized for this use. However, you can use reagents provided from others suppliers of your choice, but we could not guarantee the obtained results, as we did not tested them with our SignArrays.
What types of fluorescent markers do you use in your SignArrays ? Do you use probes ?
All plates SignArrays standards are used with SYBR® Green. However, we are offer SignArrays with specific probes.
How long it takes to perform an analysis ?
For already designed signaling pathways, it will take 1-2 weeks. For personalized SignArrays, it will take 4-5 weeks. Contact us for large quantity of samples.
What is the amplicons size ?
Primers are specifically designated to generate amplicons between 70 and 90 bps. This design is also adapted for FFPE analysis.
Your products have been referenced in publications?
Our reagents Perfect MasterMix SYBR® Green and Perfect MasterMix Probe have already been referenced in several publications. Several publications are in progress for our SignArrays.
What is the efficiency of qPCR with SignArrays ?
Oligos present in our SignArrays enable a qPCR efficiency between 95 and 105% with our Perfect MasterMix.
How can I get the results ?
The results report will be sent to you in PDF and Excel format.
Which analysis method do you use ?
After normalization with the selected house-keeping genes, the analysis method used by AnyGenes® is based on the ΔΔCt calculation, for relative quantification of transcripts.
My CT values are very high (CT>35). Why ?
How can I select the House-Keeping Genes (HKG) for the normalization step ?
It is well known that the expression of HKG can vary from one cell type to another. For this reason, we include in our SignArrays 8 HKG in order to give you more choice to select the most stable and the most appropriate HKG for your study. We also advise you to use specific softwares like geNorm, Normfinder, GenEx... to select the appropriate HKG.
How can I get technical support for your SignArrays products ?
You can call at 01-45-17-13-54 for technical questions or also send an e-mail to [email protected] Our offices are open from Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 19:00.

Most Americans will put wellness above all other New Year's resolutions, according to Allianz Life Insurance Company's 7th Annual Survey. Almost half of the respondents (44%) resolve to focus on health and wellness in 2016. Other resolutions will include financial stability (29%), career/employment improvement (13%), education (9%) and entertainment/leisure (5%).
When they were asked which New Year's resolutions they were most likely to keep, health and financial improvement ranked about the same. In fact 43% said they plan to keep their fitness goals, and 41% believe they will be able to manage their money better.
It seems likely that respondents will ask for help, though. Despite the focus being on wellness, Americans are more likely to get assistance with their financial situation than fitness. If respondents were given free professional guidance, 37% said they would speak with a financial professional, while only 28% said they would meet with a nutritionist/dietician. 23% said they would choose a personal trainer.
The action steps respondents plan to take to reach their financial goals include building an emergency savings fund, paying off debts from credit cards and creating a budget.
Spending too much money on things they don't need (29%).
Not saving as much as they could (28%).
Not saving at all (26%).
Spending more than they make (19%).

Q: Vetctorizing recursion or iteration in Matlab Let's say I have a vector v with elements 1...n, and I know that v(1) = v_0, and then
v(i+1) = 1/(a*v(i) + b).

This is straightforward to implement using either a single for loop, or recursion. Recursion is a terrible idea in Matlab, and the single foor loop is still not optimal if possible. Can I vectorize such a operation?
And to make this post more useful, is there a general way to vectorize
v(i+1) = f(v(i)),

where f(x) is an arbitrary function? What about something like
v(i+1) = a(i)*v(i) + b(i)

where a, and b are now vectors.

A: A for loop is not as bad in MATLAB as it used to be, due to just-in-time compilation.  When in doubt, just write the loop and continue with your work.  Unless your vectors are gigantic, the loop won't bother you in the slightest.  If (and only if) the loop is a bottleneck, go back and try silly MATLAB tricks to optimize.
In a specific answer to your question, no, I do not believe there's a generic way to express v(i+1) = f(v(i)).  You could easily write one using a function handle, but the performance would be something less than just open-coding the expression.

Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection during infancy is suggested to cause long-term wheeze. In turn, wheeze has been associated with bacterial dysbiosis of the respiratory tract. We investigated the effects of RSV prophylaxis with palivizumab in otherwise healthy preterm infants on respiratory microbiota composition at 1 year and 6 years of age. Methods In a multicentre, single-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial (the MAKI trial), infants born between 32–35 weeks of gestation, in one university and in 15 regional hospitals in the the Netherlands, were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive palivizumab or placebo during the RSV season of their first year of life. Intramuscular injections of palivizumab 15 mg/kg or placebo were given during one RSV season: either from Oct 1, or from discharge from the neonatal unit until March 10 (minimun of 2 and maximum of 5 injections were given). Children were 6 months old or younger at the start of the RSV season; exclusion criteria included congenital heart disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, Down's syndrome, or other serious congenital disorders, use of mechanical ventilation at birth, treatment with surfactant, or physician-diagnosed wheeze before the start of the RSV season. Children were followed up for clinical symptoms until 6 years of age. For this subanalysis, we obtained nasopharyngeal swabs from children aged 1 year and 6 years and analysed them using 16S-rRNA sequencing. At 6 years we also measured reversible airway obstruction. The primary outcome was the effect of palivizumab during infancy on the respiratory microbiota composition at age 1 year and 6 years (intention-to-treat analysis). The trial is registered in the ISRCTN registry, number ISRCTN73641710. Findings From April 1, 2008, to Dec 31, 2010, 429 infants were enrolled in the MAKI trial (n=214 to the palivizumab group; n=215 to the placebo group). At 1 year, we collected swabs and sequenced DNA from 170 (40%) of 429 children, of which 145 (85%) samples had high-quality DNA. The overall microbiota composition was significantly different (R2 1·3%; p=0·0185) between the palivizumab group and the placebo group at 1 year of life; children in the palivizumab group had a significantly lower abundance of the Staphylococcus-dominated cluster (odds ratio 0·28 [95% CI 0·11–0·68]; p=0·00394), an increased abundance of biomarker species, such as Klebsiella, and a more diverse set of oral taxa, including Streptococcus spp, compared with children in the placebo group. At 6 years, we collected swabs and sequenced DNA from 349 (88%) of 395 children who completed follow-up, of which 342 (98%) samples had high-quality DNA. The overall microbiota composition was not significantly different between groups at 6 years (R2 0·6%; p=0·0575); however, children in the palivizumab group had a significantly increased abundance of Haemophilus spp and lower abundance of Moraxella and Neisseriaceae spp compared with children in the placebo group. Absence of PCR-confirmed RSV infection at 1 year was significantly associated with a higher abundance of Haemophilus spp at age 6 years and a significantly lower abundance of Moraxella and Neisseriaceae than children with RSV infection at 1 year. Reversible airway obstruction at 6 years was also positively associated with Haemophilus abundance and negatively associated with the abundance of health-associated taxa, such as Moraxella, Corynebacterium, Dolosigranulum, and Staphylococcus, even after correction for RSV immunoprophylaxis (all: p<0·05). Additionally, reversible airway instruction was associated with significantly higher Streptococcus pneumoniae abundance. Interpretation Palivizumab in infancy in otherwise healthy preterm infants is associated with persistent effects on the abundance of specific, potentially pathogenic, microbial taxa in the respiratory tract. Several of the palivizumab-associated biomarker species were associated with reversible airway obstruction at age 6 years. These results warrant further studies to establish the long-term ecological effects and health consequences of palivizumab in infancy. Funding MedImmune. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. Show more

Q: Difference between application and module pipelines in Nancy? I have seen in the documentation of Nancy, sometimes these two are referred distinctively.
And also is there a difference in the Before/After hooks of these two pipelines?

A: The module- and application pipelines are explained in detail in the wiki.
It's basically hooks which are executed before and after route execution on a global (application pipelines) and per-module basis. Here's an example:
If a route is resolved to a module called FooModule, the pipelines will be invoked as follows:

*

*Application Before Pipeline

*FooModule Before Pipeline

*FooModule Route Handler

*FooModule After Pipeline

*Application After Pipeline

The difference between the before- and after pipelines is that in the before pipeline, you have the possibility to "short circuit" the request handling. I.e. you can return a response, which will the be returned directly to the user agent, without even invoking a potential route handler.
