Nature can — and will — overcome any antibiotic. Researchers are working to ensure we stay one step ahead.
Microbiologist Gautam Dantas, PhD, is sequencing vast quantities of bacterial DNA in efforts to understand and thwart antibiotic resistance.
With increasing reports of superbugs that are resistant to virtually all antibiotics, experts warn of a return to the pre-antibiotic era. In that future, routine surgeries and minor conditions, such as a scraped knee or urinary tract infection, could more frequently result in serious infection or death. Those with impaired immune systems — including cancer and organ transplant patients — face the greatest risk.
Proposals to address the problem call for judicious use of antibiotics, both by doctors and in U.S. agricultural practices. While overuse of antibiotics is a significant contributing factor, experts say restrictive measures only will slow the problem. Bacteria, in a quest for survival, are continually adapting and mounting new, clever defenses against these drugs.
Microbiologist Gautam Dantas, PhD, argues that the only sustainable solution is to nurture a robust drug discovery pipeline. Informing his view is his lab's extensive body of work documenting the genetics of antibiotic resistance in diverse environments, from hospital neonatal intensive care units, to rural farming villages, to urban slums, to an Amazonian tribe cut off from civilization. His overwhelming conclusion: Regardless of habitat, microbes are "chock-full" of DNA that gives them the capacity to survive chemical onslaught.
"Resistance is inevitable," said Dantas, associate professor of pathology and immunology. "No drug we design is going to permanently prevent resistance. The only way to fight resistance is to find new drugs. And we have to do it continually. Microbes thrive everywhere, including miles below the Earth's crust or surrounded by radioactive waste.
Antibiotics destroy or weaken bacteria in several different ways, including breaking up the cell wall, restricting replication and inhibiting the production of needed proteins.
In an ever-escalating arms race, superbugs have accumulated genes that, in turn, interfere with antibiotics. These strategies include pumping the drugs out of bacterial cells, blocking the drug from its target, and breaking apart the antibiotic molecules themselves.
Scanning electron micrograph of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
The notorious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), for example, destroys methicillin and similar drugs by breaking the drug's key chemical bonds. In destroying the drug, MRSA protects not only itself but other bacteria nearby that lack such defenses.
The concept of microbes as chemists is highlighted by the 1928 discovery of penicillin. Like penicillin, which is made by a type of mold, most antibiotics that people have harnessed to kill dangerous bacteria are products of other microbes, usually harmless organisms that live in soil. To survive, bacteria must prevent harm via their own chemical arsenals. Over millennia, microbes have evolved the capacity to produce these chemicals as part of their self-protection and communication strategies.
"If you study old sources of soil bacteria that have no exposure to humans — microbes frozen in permafrost for millions of years, for example — some of these bacteria have genes that confer resistance to chemicals that we rely on as modern antibiotics," Dantas said.
With this history in mind, Dantas and colleagues sought to understand the extent of antibiotic resistance in current soil bacteria. Studying 18 different soil samples from across the U.S., the researchers concluded that soil bacteria contain a massive biochemical capacity to resist even our most potent antibiotics. However, they found that most of these genes fortunately are not poised to jump into bacteria that cause disease.
Interconnected ecological habitats make it easy for antibiotic resistance to spread. Resistant strains living in soil get passed on to humans through various routes. Gautam Dantas, PhD, and his team have studied diverse environments, including densely populated slums surrounding Lima, Peru, and a tiny subsistence farming village in El Salvador. They uncovered numerous "hotspots" of resistance gene transfer, including chicken coops and sewage treatment systems. El Salvadoran villagers have close interactions with their chickens, giving the birds freedom to roam into cooking areas (below left). In Lima, sewage is processed in a wastewater treatment plant (center), and then the semi-clean gray water is used for irrigation throughout the city (right).
Along with this presumably good news, the researchers made a worrisome discovery — a novel set of enzymes manufactured by soil bacteria that confer resistance to tetracyclines, a vitally important class of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The researchers also noted that these enzymes — which they dubbed tetracycline destructases — are coded into mobile parts of the bacterial genome that are easily shared, even between distantly related bacteria. It is mobile resistance genes that concern Dantas most.
Glimpsing the scope of microorganisms' genetic capacity to evade antibiotics may be alarming, but in these vast databases of bacterial DNA, Dantas sees the blueprints for the design and development of new antimicrobial drugs. In theory, if you can determine how bacteria evade a specific drug, you can develop ways to thwart them.
In one drug-development strategy, Dantas and associates are using genetic sequencing to identify and track the genes at highest risk of making disease-causing bacteria resistant to important antibiotics. The highest-risk genes — and Dantas puts the tetracycline destructases in this high-risk group — then become targets for the design of new compounds that inhibit these genes and their products.
Many approved antibiotics have been taken off the market because they are no longer effective. If new genomic strategies can be used to unravel the reasons an antibiotic has stopped working, compounds can be developed that target the resistance, rather than the bacteria. Once the resistance is knocked down, in theory, old drugs could work again.
Tetracyclines are old drugs that are widely used in medicine, veterinary care and agriculture, especially in fish and shrimp farming operations. With such indiscriminate use, tetracyline resistance already exists in the clinic. But unlike MRSA, which destroys methicillin, tetracycline-resistant bacteria in the clinic currently evade the drug without breaking it apart. Dantas worries that the prospect of bacteria carrying tetracycline destructases, which, as the name suggests, destroy tetracycline, may change that, elevating this type of resistance to MRSA-like status.
Superbugs accumulate genes that interfere with antibiotics. These genes give microbes the ability to: (a) make impermeable cell walls; (b) block drugs from their targets; (c) break apart the drug molecules; (d) pump drugs out; and, sometimes, all of the above.
Indeed, tetracycline destructases' genetic mobility and ability to destroy a drug widely used in the clinic and in agricultural settings have led Dantas to predict a major resistance problem in the future. Such resistance also could compromise new tetracycline-based drugs that are being considered for imminent clinical use. While such data sounds ominous, it also presents an unprecedented opportunity: the chance to design strategies to fight this type of tetracycline resistance before it begins circulating in hospitals.
"We are exceptionally reactionary in our response to antibiotic resistance," Dantas said. "We only take action after people have died. Until recently, we did not have the tools to determine where this resistance was coming from. Now, we understand that we live in interconnected habitats that harbor different kinds of bacteria.
The researchers' argument was sufficient to convince the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that tetracycline destructases are worthy of further research. Earlier this year, the NIH awarded a $3.6 million grant to Dantas and collaborators Niraj Tolia, PhD, associate professor of molecular microbiology, and Timothy Wencewicz, PhD, assistant professor of chemistry. They are working to develop inhibitors against tetracycline destructases. Such inhibitors could let tetracycline remain an effective antibiotic even if or (as Dantas argues) when bacteria carrying tetracycline destructases begin to emerge in health-care settings.
Because developing new inhibitors from scratch takes time, and patients are facing deadly antibiotic-resistant infections today, Dantas proposes a second strategy: high-throughput screening to test combinations of existing drugs. Attacking resistant bacteria using synergistic combinations of drugs can overwhelm defenses in ways that single drugs cannot.
Such "cocktails" that leverage drugs already approved by the Food and Drug Administration could, in theory, move more quickly into clinical use than novel compounds.
Dantas' team found that a combination of three drugs — meropenem, piperacillin and tazobactam — cleared mice of MRSA infections that normally kill them in less than a day. All three drugs belong to a class of chemicals called beta-lactams, considered obsolete against MRSA for decades.
Dantas showed that the three drugs in tandem render the bacteria vulnerable to attack, making it difficult to resist the onslaught. If the bacteria become resistant to one component of the triple-drug cocktail, they are rendered more sensitive to one or both of the others.
Yearly in the U.S., antibiotic-resistant infections plague more than 2 million people, killing some 23,000, according to the CDC. Dantas said these hard-fought battles offer lessons in how bacteria evolve resistance.
In a third strategy, Dantas is working directly with hospital microbiology labs to sequence drug-resistant infections as they emerge and identify how they evade antibiotics. "There are a large number of emerging resistance strategies, and we just don't know how they work," Dantas said.
Carey-Ann Burnham, PhD, is medical director of the clinical microbiology lab at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. She and Dantas are studying one particularly puzzling case in which a heart patient developed an infection that, in less than three weeks, became totally resistant to an important antibiotic called daptomycin.
The patient survived, but only after six weeks of treatment with linezolid, a toxic antibiotic of last resort. Courses longer than one month can cause serious complications, including bleeding and vision loss.
To understand this particular superbug, Dantas and his colleagues are immersed in their molecular detective work.
"We are excited to apply our knowledge and tools to help patients," Dantas said. "We began by surveying bacteria in the environment, even though that work initially seemed far removed from any clinical application. But that research has helped us determined that resistance is everywhere.


Hi Erin and Rose! Tell us a little bit about yourselves.
Howdy! Rose and I are both native New Englanders and have degrees in Fine Arts. We met while working at Anthropologie as Display Coordinators back in 2008. Since then we've been roommates, travelled to India, and then finally became biz partners.
What lead you to begin Forêt?
Our affinity for flowers and the natural world and a desire to bring a fresh style to the Boston scene.
Foret is French for forest. Our name is a reflection of both our inspiration and style -- we love bringing an earthy and natural-inspired look to our events. Although, not all of our events reflect this aesthetic, we consider ourselves concept-driven designers who can shift our approach based on our clients' needs.
What is your inspiration and process behind your floral designs?
You recently opened a new business, Queen of Swords. Congratulations! What made you want to open a brick and mortar shop focusing on clothing and home accessories?
Thank you! We're so excited to offer something new to the Somerville and Boston community. We've always had an itch for retail especially with our backgrounds in store displays and new store openings. We're lovers of beautiful objects and thrive on creating lovely inspiring spaces. We thought what better way to do that and share it with others than with a shop. Plus, it's a great way to allow to folks to peak into our event world, as the glass door in the shop is one of the entrances to our studio space.
Did having the background in floral design and styling help to create a specific atmosphere for QOS?
Absolutely! This is an outlet that allows us to really showcase who WE are rather than focusing mainly on what clients want. The shop feels personal. It feels like an extension of ourselves, but also highlights our ability to create a warm, natural space.
Yes, the most amazing team of bright, talented women! Tibby, our studio manager, started off a seasonal employee and has worked with us for 3 years. Marin started off as an Intern and we felt like it took so long for her to graduate school (of course, just the standard 4 years). After her internship, she still came on and helped us as a freelancer. Now, she works on events and acts as our shop manager! We also have an amazing community of freelancers and friends that jump in to help throughout the season.
With events, an open door, big smiles and genuine conversations.
Don't get us wrong, the internet is a great tool and resource for finding, well, anything. But, there's nothing like seeing something in person, flipping through that cookbook, putting that candle up to your nose, spritzing your wrists with a unique new fragrance, and actually touching and feeling the weight of that garment. Beyond that, it's connecting with people and sharing the stories of the products we've found and love ourselves.
The people. All the people. We're in a co-working space-- and working alongside other businesses like Forestbound and Recover Green Roofs, is incomparable. Our team, including all of our freelancers, our clients, vendors, other businesses in our community like Loyal Supply Co and now our shop customers.
Erin: Personally, I'm a lover of materials (earthenware, basket reeds, rope, linen, wax, and other natural objects). Exploring materials, shape and form, color, and movement has resonated with me since childhood. Being able to curate a world of material elements and sharing that with others brings me great joy!
Rose: I love connecting with our clients, vendors, and community. I'm so inspired by everyone's path and have loved getting to know so many amazing couples along the way.
What are some of the setbacks or challenges you faced when starting Forêt and/or QOS?Creating systems-- systems are your best friend. Once you have a system, you can follow it, but establishing them takes time and some trial and error.
Because the "future is female" right?! We have got to stand together as women -- we truly believe that women are the future. Everything good has some balance to it. It's way past due for this world to embrace equality for all. But, we can start right here at home. Many of our products are made by women or women-owned companies.
There is no shortage of inspiring women, but the first that comes to mind is Grace Bonney. She has forged a pathway for creative women for over a decade. I consider her our modern Martha Stewart! She encourages women to do their thing and not just be domestic!
For me, working at Anthropologie as Display Coordinator was such a great platform for learning and working with inspiring women and men. There were many folks at Home Office that I worked alongside that truly inspired me. But honestly, that person would have to be my partner, Rose. Together, we have been through it all. Without her, I would not be where I am now. She has encouraged me to take risks, to explore, to be me and trust in myself and whatever vision I might have, at the same time she balances that energy out and challenges me. I have grown because of her.
Hosting more events and continuing to watch Queen of Swords evolve.
Clippers! Haha...no, actually, working in a co-working space has been the best resource for starting a new company. Having other businesses around you who have gone through or are going through some of the same challenges you are, makes it easier to problem solve them. You can rely on each other, share tools and resources-- it's like having a beautiful library of small businesses right next door.
That's tough, but we've gotten so much better at it. Hiring help, not checking emails after hours, planning vacations, and setting a schedule-- that's a big one!
What are some of your favorite places in Somerville/Cambridge/Boston?
Well, we love good food and drinks. There's too many to mention them all but Mamaleh's, Sofra, Brookline Lunch or Watertown Deluxe Diner are some of our favorites for breakfast. Rose and I tend to do working meetings on Mondays at one of these establishments. Our other favorites include Oleana, Myers and Chang and Coppa. On our days off, we love strolling through Mt. Auburn cemetery or the Harold Arboretum.

Members of both unions
Teachers strike draws support
Students and families come out to show support for the teachers on strike
Trisha Shanks
Retired teacher Darryl Smolik took to the popular Facebook page for Nakusp, the Nakusp Communicator on September 6 writing,
"I'm a grandmother of four public school children. I will be walking the picket line Tuesday, September 9. If you support public education, why not join me?"
She then made a stack of red apples out of felt for those who attended to wear as a show of support.
A number of Nakusp students and parents showed up throughout the day to rally with the teachers who have been picketing since the last week of August.
Lucy Ponto, whose mother is a Teacher on Call (formerly substitute teacher) came along because she wants to be back in the classroom with her friends.
Smolik was there, wearing a sign of her own which read "I support our teachers" accompanied by a large, red apple.
"I am a retired teacher, I have four grandchildren and I want them to graduate," she said as to why it was important for her to be there on the picket line.

Fabrication of single-layer tetracene molecular crystals
Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH)

Credit: POSTECH
Graphite and diamond are made of a substance called carbon (C). Graphene is the separation of a single layer of carbon atom from graphite. Even though they are made of the same atoms, they are classified as completely different materials depending on the number of atoms and their arrangement. Recently, a research team at POSTECH has demonstrated a single-layer molecular crystal sandwiched between two-dimensional molecular crystals (2DMCs) for the first time.
A research team led by Professor Sunmin Ryu and Ph.D. candidate Seonghyun Koo in collaboration with Professor Ji Hoon Shim of POSTECH's Department of Chemistry and the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan have fabricated single-layer tetracene molecular crystals (MC) and reported on their optical properties. This was the first such case in the field of 2D molecular crystals so far. The findings from the study were recently published in Nano Letters, a journal with global influence in the field of nanotechnology.
Since Andre Geim's research team at University of Manchester in 2004 separated graphene with a thickness of one carbon atom from graphite through mechanical exfoliation, research on 2D materials has exploded. But it has advanced in favor of inorganic crystals that bond chemically. Molecular crystals such as tetracene are made up of weak van der Waals bonds, so it is quite difficult to bring them to the molecular level are very unstable in atmospheric conditions.
To this, the research team succeeded in constructing single-layer tetracene crystals using two-dimensional inorganic crystals such as graphene or hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as substrates. In addition, covering the hBN using the dry transfer greatly improved its stability against heat and light.
The atomic force microscopy (AFM) and wide-field photoluminescence imaging were introduced to obtain the 2D shape of single-layer tetracene crystals the size of several tens of micrometers. The research team investigated the electronic structure of the sample with polarized absorption and emission spectromicroscopy combined with SHG spectroscopy.
The research team obtained the absorption and emission spectra of the tetracene crystal according to the polarization of the incident light, and found that both the absorption and emission were maximized at a specific angle. This meant that the material has crystallinity and the orientation of tetracene crystals can be determined experimentally through absorption and emission. In addition, it was confirmed that the Davydov splitting, which is significantly increased compared to the 3D crystal, is an index indicating the intrinsic properties of the 2D crystal.
In this study, the structure of the material was preserved and the photostability was greatly improved by confining the 2D tetracene crystals between hexagonal boron nitride or graphene. The wide-area photoluminescence imaging technique of crystals and optical second-harmonic generation allowed the growth of monolayer films of tetracene crystals the size of several tens of micrometers, and it was found that a specific orientation was preferred when grown on a boron nitride substrate. The research team secured the theoretical validity of the layered structure through first-principles calculations.
As it was confirmed that the thickness of the same organic crystals can actively modulate physical properties, it is expected to be widely applicable in OLED that uses organic crystals and in organic photoelectric energy conversion.
"The nonlinear proliferation of excitons in tetracene crystals is garnering attention as an eco-friendly research that can overcome the thermodynamic efficiency limits of solar cells," explained Professor Sunmin Ryu. He added, "The 2D tetracene crystals can be used as the principal material for forming the light absorption layer of solar cells and will be a starting point for research on the structure and properties of low-dimensional molecular crystals."

Celebrated primarily by Hindus in both India and abroad in the month of Kartik (According to Hindi Calendar) which falls in the months of October or November, Diwali is one of the most prominent of the Hindu festivals.
Many people celebrate Diwali to commemorate the victorious return of Lord Rama, his wife Sita and brother Lakshman back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile according to the epic story of Ramayana. During this period, Lord Rama rescued Sita, from the clutches of Ravana and finally killed him with the help of his "Vanar Sena". It also marks as the celebration of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Pujas are offered to other Gods and Goddesses such as Kali, Saraswati and Ganesha too.
The litted streets, the bustling bazaars, the firecrackers and fireworks, the sweet shops with a variety of mouth watering sweets and the idols of Lord Ganesha and Lakshmi is all you see around you during this festival!
Diwali is a 5-day long festival, and each day holds a special significance.
The first day is called Dhanteras, which marks the beginning of this joyous festival. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped for prosperity and wealth. "Dhan" means money, and hence this day holds special importance for the business community. According to tradition, all houses and business houses are decorated with earthen lamps and colourful rangolis. Buying gold and silver items and new utensils is considered highly auspicious on this day. Lakshmi puja is conducted in the evening and lamps are burnt all night long to cast away all the evil spirits.
The second day is Nark Chaturdashi, or choti diwali. It is celebrated on the fourteenth day of the month of Kartik. Legend says that a devil Narakasur had defeated Indra and taken over his kingdom. He had imprisoned daughters of all the saints and Gods. Lord Krishna defeated Narakasur on this day and made the world free from suffering. This day is dedicated to cleaning, renovation and beautification of the houses. In the evening, people worship Lakshmi and Rama according to rituals and light diyas and candles.
The third day is the main festival of diwali. Households are cleaned before the festival so as to invite Goddess of wealth-Lakshmi to bring prosperity. Lighting is done with colourful lights adding ardour to the house. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped. Diwali falls on a no moon day (Amavasya), but the twinkling lights and diyas consume all the darkness of the night, which is symbolic of victory of good over evil, and light over darkness. Lakshmi puja is the main event, which begins by worshipping Lord Ganesha. After this Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped in all her forms-as Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati and Mahakali. Kuber, the treasurer of Gods is also worshipped. Thereafter, sweets are distributed, diyas are lit and offerings made. Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi are worshipped to bring happiness and good health to the family. Children enjoy themselves by bursting crackers. Houses are kept spotlessly clean as Goddess Lakshmi likes cleanliness.
The fourth day is of Govardhan pooja, which is celebrated to commemorate the day on which Lord Krishna lifted the "govardhan parvata" to shelter all the people of Gokul from pounding rain. Indra was angered when people of Gokul stopped offering prayers to him on advice of Lord Krishna, and poured heavy rains to punish them. But lord Krishna protected all the people by sheltering them under a mountain. On this day, elaborate meals of 56 or 108 dishes are prepared to offer to lord Krishna.
The fifth and last day is "Bhai Duj", a festival for all brothers and sisters. Legend holds that Yamaraj met his sister, Yama after a long separation in this day. Yama welcomed him with a special meal and put a vermillion mark on his forehead as a mark of her affection. Since that day, sisters pray for the well being of their brother on this day and put vermillion and rice on their forehead as a mark of protection and care.


Ideally saving 10 -15 pins daily rather than 70 odd on one day.
Typically Pinterest will prioritise the first 5 pins you pin at the beginning of that day. Sadly I am unsure when the beginning of the day is in terms of Pinterest so keep you content current and on topic with your Boards and Niche and you should be fine.
Your Board names need to be relevant and specific to both your audience and your niche. Failure to do this will mean Pinterest won't pick up on your content. Remember it is a Search Engine and good keywords are super important if you want your pins to be found and shared with your audience and their audience alike.
Boards come with sections too and these can be used if you are planning on splitting up your content within a board. If you had a Home décor board you may section it into 'bedroom,' 'lounge,'or 'kitchen' for example.
One last comment is adding board covers. Personally I think your profile needs to look professional. If someone is looking at your profile and your boards all look categorised with board covers and clear and concise descriptions it looks so much better.
All of these features can be reached through your Pinterest Board Editor.
What I love about upgrading to the Pinterest business account is a number of things but mainly that it's completely free. That being said you also get quite a lot of good stuff along with it. It allows you to 'claim your website' which means that now you can track what pins associated with your website are getting traction with your audience.
Also it means it will tell you what pins are being saved and clicked and information pertaining to your audience where they're based and what they are viewing within your content.
As a side note to this I would like to mention if you are not a member of Tailwind yet it may be a good idea for you to check them out too as they give you even more info on board and website performance. Head over HERE to read my post about Tailwind.
Are Multiple Pins a Good Idea ?
Pinning the same pin multiple times is a good idea as long as it is spread amongst multiple 'relevant' boards and done over time. So for example if you have created a pin that is relevant to multiple boards on your profile, as you may have some group boards too. This will increase the popularity of the Pin and may mean Pinterest will give it priority when distributing it out to your audience. The converse of this is also true – if you start pinning that same pin anywhere and not to relevant content this could actually damage its performance.
It's also ok to have multiple pins leading back to the same webpage as different pictures or descriptions will appeal to different people. However for the benefit of your SEO and so as not to waste an opportunity to promote your content ensure you use different descriptions on your pins.
This is quite a big one for Pinterest. Ensuring your pins have correct links means that people will get to the right content and not be disappointed to find they have clicked for more info and have actually landed at the wrong place to get that info or worse still a blank page or error.
Pinterest hates bounce backs or failed links and this will be damaging to the overall performance of your pins. If you can try and make sure the image on your pin is also on the landing page.


UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. SETH KAMOSE ALI, Defendant - Appellant.
Anne M. Hayes, Cary, North Carolina, for Appellant. Jill Westmoreland Rose, United States Attorney, Anthony J. Enright, Assistant United States Attorney, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Seth Kamose Ali appeals his conviction of assault on a federal officer, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1) (2012). On appeal, Ali asserts two errors. First, he argues that the evidence was insufficient to sustain a guilty verdict. Second, he argues that a clerical error exists in the district court's judgment and should be corrected. For the reasons that follow, we affirm Ali's conviction but remand to correct the judgment's clerical error.
We review de novo a denial of a motion for judgment of acquittal. United States v. White, 810 F.3d 212, 228 (4th Cir. 2016), petition for cert. filed, ___ U.S.L.W. ___ (U.S. Mar. 22, 2016) (No. 15-8637). "The question is whether, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). In conducting this analysis, we do not review credibility determinations, which "are within the sole province of the jury and not susceptible to judicial review." United States v. Burgos, 94 F.3d 849, 863 (4th Cir. 1996) (en banc).
To violate 18 U.S.C. § 111(a), "a defendant must: (1) forcibly; (2) assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with; (3) a designated federal officer; (4) while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties . . . (5) [with] the intent to do the acts specified in the subsection." United States v. Arrington, 309 F.3d 40, 44 (D.C. Cir. 2002) (footnote and internal quotation marks omitted). Here, the only element in dispute is whether Ali intended to assault Peachey or whether he accidentally closed the car door on Peachey's hand.
Peachey testified at trial that he was behind Ali when he attempted to throw a subpoena into the car through the car door. Ali slammed the car door shut, but, with Peachey's hand between the door and the car frame, the door could not fully close. Nevertheless, according to Peachey, Ali did not stop pulling on the door but maintained strong pressure on it, trapping Peachey's left hand. Peachey was forced to use his right hand to attempt to pull the door open. Ali continued to pull the door shut on Peachey's hand in an active "tug of war" with Peachey.
Based on this testimony, a reasonable jury could conclude that, when Ali realized the door would not close, he formed the intent to assault Peachey by continuing to force the door closed on Peachey's hand. While Ali's version of events may be equally plausible, all reasonable inferences must be drawn in favor of the Government. Burgos, 94 F.3d at 863. Because a reasonable jury could have determined that Ali intended to assault Peachey, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying Ali's motion for judgment of acquittal.
Ali also asserts that remand is appropriate to correct a clerical error. Courts may "at any time correct a clerical error in a judgment." Fed. R. Crim. P. 36. The jury found that Ali did not use a deadly or dangerous weapon when he assaulted Peachey, but the judgment states that Ali was convicted of assault on a federal officer with a deadly and dangerous weapon. The Government concedes this clerical error and agrees that we should remand the case to correct it. We therefore remand this matter for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical error in the judgment.
Accordingly, we affirm Ali's conviction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

It's important to realize that road rage is listed as an exemption in many auto insurance policies. This is because any damage or liability stemming from aggressive driving isn't considered an accident but rather as having been caused by risky behavior.
Rather than risk paying the consequences of road rage—one of which may be not having your auto insurance claim paid—it's best to avoid a dangerous and costly aggressive driving incident in the first place.
Record a description of the car and note the license plate number if possible so that you can report him or her to the police for the sake of everyone's safety.
Do not engage with or challenge the offender in any way. Ignore the driver's rudeness and don't give into the temptation to react in kind or you might escalate the risky behavior.
Leave plenty of time to get where you need to go. When you're in a hurry, your patience is short and you are much more likely to become aggravated.
Don't use hand—or single finger—gestures other than a wave to someone who lets you into your lane.
Don't tailgate slow drivers. Hanging on another car's back bumper is dangerous. If the car in front of you has to stop short and you rear-end it, the accident would be considered your fault.
Don't honk your horn insistently. Leaning on your horn is a bad practice. While it might make you feel better to express your frustration in a traffic jam, it won't make anyone go any faster, it's annoying to other drivers and passengers and it increases everyone's stress level, which may lead to more aggressive behavior.

The World's Most Expensive Houses Are Like Modern Day Palaces
Brenda Miller | 2 years ago
The world is populated with extravagance and lavishness, which often includes sumptuous mansions, million-dollar cars, and in some instances, some rather crazy private jets. And while the word out there is that money can't buy you happiness, it can sure buy some pretty spectacular mansions that surely provide some sort of satisfaction. In this article, we take a look at the world's most luxurious and expensive homes, from mansions that are completely lined with white marble flooring to estates with gold ceilings.
1. Swish Supermansion - California, USA
Williams & Williams Estates Group
This extravagant home located in Bel Air is probably amongst the most luxurious and expensive properties in the area. The Swish super-mansion, also known by the name of "Sabornne," has nine bedrooms overall that are spread around 25,000 square feet of indoor space. If that wasn't enough, the property also extends an additional 20,000 feet of outdoor space that is populated with breathtaking gardens, a never-ending pool, and incredible sundecks.
There is more, "Sabornne" is basically made for someone who enjoys living big and isn't afraid of a hasty price tag. The property features 15 fancy bathrooms, an art studio for the art lovers, a gym, several gigantic statues, and a wine cellar that is carefully temperature-controlled. The Swish super-mansion also includes an out of this world glass car elevator that securely stores the house owner's car collection. For all of this, one only has to pay the gigantic price tag of $88 million.
2. Casablanca Estate - Cape Town, South Africa
Anyone who has been lucky enough to travel to Cape Town, the "Mother City", knows that the city is not only one of the most beautiful in the world, but also a place where investing in real estate is certainly worth it. The Casablanca Estate is a great example of the lavish possibilities that the city offers, with a price tag that though expensive, is still more realistic than other countries. This $35 million mansion is located on the shoreline of Camps Bay, one of the most luxurious areas in the city.
Casablanca Estate features the most spectacular sea views, which include eight extravagant bedrooms, crystal chandeliers, and some gold details in very strategic spots around the mansion. Even more, the 3,723 square feet house also has 12 posh bathrooms, a fitness room, a massage room, a squash court, a cinema room, and of course, a garage that has space for up to 14 lavish cars. To compliment all of this, the mansion obviously has an 82-foot swimming pool.
3. Lavish Bel Air Mansion - California, USA
This Bel Air mansion was created by world-renowned real estate developer Bruce Makowsky and is considered one of the most uniquely innovative houses in the world. The estate is located in an exclusive area of Bel-Air, settled between the homes of some of the richest people on the planet. The 42,000 square- foot residence has an additional 17,000 square-foot outdoor deck that embraces a glass infinity pool and a cinema size flat screen for anyone who feels like indulging in a movie while swimming.
Also known by the nickname of "Billionaire", the lavish residence has a whopping 21 bathrooms and 17 bedrooms. The living room contains gold-encrusted Brut Champagne bottles in a mansion that extends to four luxurious floors. Uniquely, the elevators that connect the four floors are lined with a rare type of crocodile skin that is not easily found anywhere else. To conclude, the mansion also contains a garage that displays $30 million worth of fancy cars.
4. Luxe Swiss Chalet - London, UK
At first glance, it kind of looks like the Luxe Swiss Chalet is located somewhere in the Swiss Alps, but the mansion can actually be found in Hampton Court, London. The Swiss imported chalet arrived in London back in 1882 and was recently found listed in the market for as much as $6 million. The mansion offers four of the most luxurious bathrooms we've ever seen, with one of them including gilded Italian washbasins that cost $23.5k and copper bathtubs that are worth $12k.
The property is 5,478 square-feet long and includes some of the most unusual features. For example, it has its own private river frontage, which is complemented by a private indoor beach in the basement that features 40 tonnes of sand, wine racks, and a heated underfloor. If an indoor beach and a private river weren't enough, the Luxe Swiss Mansion also has its own Japanese water garden that has its own bridge decorated with eccentric lights.
5. Ceausescu Mansion - Bucharest, Romania

There is something about a seemingly modest-looking outside that makes the lavish inside of the Primaverii Palace a unique mansion to admire. The mansion is the former residence of Nicolae Ceausescu, Romania's infamous ex-leader. The 80-room palace is located in Bucharest and was designed all the way back in the 1960s. The incredible house has a lot to offer, from the master suite's fixture being made of gold to gold mosaic ceilings, mirrors, and a shower.
But there's more! The Ceausescu Mansion also includes a swimming pool and a cinema, and a home where every tiny detail was adorned with an extremely baffling amount of extravagance. But let's be honest, it is a common trait of your average dictator to have a home that is nothing less than excessive. This makes total sense since it's said that Ceausescu made sure to personally pick out the estate's dramatic chandeliers and mosaics.
6. Opus - Beverly Hills, USA

Now here's a property that absolutely takes the use of gold to an entirely different level. The Opus property, located in Beverly Hills, USA, was a creation of renowned real estate developer Nile Niami. The 20,500 square-foot estate is said to literally be dripping in gold, with its own gold-inspired facade, and personalized gold house sign. But this mansion has much more to offer than a whole lot of gold at every corner!
The house has its own car museum made of ten cars that include a Rolls-Royce Dawn and a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster that are, needless to say, in gold! The mansion includes 11 bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a cinema, and its own beauty salon. But it's its emphasis on some of the best and most expensive artworks in the market that makes it all up a notch. The likes of Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst's artwork are displayed and those alone are said to be worth $2 million in value. As for the house? It's one of the most expensive in Beverly Hills, with a price tag of around $50 million.
7. Baroque Palace - St. Petersburg, Russia
Last but not least in our list is the Baroque Palace, one of Russia's most sought out pieces of real estate. The nine-bed Baroque was on the market in 2015 for the massive amount of $109 million. The palace is located in the exclusive Russian neighborhood of Rublyovka and is spread out through 97 acres of pine forest surrounded by the most dazzling views. But the outside is nothing compared to its marble and gold-covered floors and ceilings.
The Baroque Palace's master's bathroom also has its touch of gold, with a sumptuous gold shower, a hallway that is covered in magnificent chandeliers, and antiques spread around the entire property, giving it a royal feel. And if that wasn't enough bling, the property's master bedroom is made of a combination of wooden floors and golden lashings. It's safe to say that whoever gets to own this palace is in for a royal adventure brimming gold, crystal, and velvet.
Brenda is, in a word, sporty. We don't know how she does it, but she manages to maintain a weekly routine that includes bouldering, MMA, and soccer. She's always excited to relay her athletic adventures to her colleagues, as well as her many followers on Instagram.

STILL WANT THEM? Muslim 'refugee' brutally rapes a an elderly homeless woman on the street – "blood was everywhere"
February 6, 2017 Larsen Ideology of evil 0
From Dec. 2016
A MIGRANT has been arrested after a homeless pensioner was raped, brutally beaten and then left naked at the blood splattered crime scene in a city centre.
Eritrean national Ibraham Salem was arrested on suspicion of the horrific attack against the 67-year-old, which took place in the Portuguese city of Albufeira, 159 miles south of Lisbon.
The authorities allege the migrant, who arrived in the city at the end of October, approached the woman who was sheltering from the bitter cold in the doorway of a bank just before 5am in the early hours of Thursday.
She is said to have been badly beaten, sustaining fractures to her face, as well as being stripped naked and raped.
Footage from the scene shows vast amounts of blood splattered on the floor and up the walls.
The judicial police said that "through the use of physical force" and "in the face of the victim's resistance" he beat her, "causing maxillofacial and nasal fractures".
A passerby stumbled on the alleged attack, and chased a suspect to a nearby bus terminal where he managed to detain him until the police arrived.
The 21-year-old said: "I chased him to the old bus terminal and grabbed him.
"I alerted the police to the situation and was able to hand the [attacker] over to them."
He recounted the distressing scene, saying the vicim was "convulsing", and "blood was everywhere".
Local media also reported she was "bleeding profusely", and she rushed to hospital by paramedics where she is said to be in a serious condition.
A judge ordered Salem be remanded in custody after the incident.
He is said to be one of 15 migrants who was relocated to Italy and granted asylum in Portugal in October.
The group were allegedly being housed in a nearby 'social solidarity' non-profit group the Antonio Silva Leal Foundation.
It claims to offer protection to "children, youth, adults and seniors at risk of social disintegration and exclusion".
Earlier this year another Eritrean migrant was accused of raping a 79-year-old woman in the German town of Iddenbueren.

Pope Francis: The Mass needs silence, not 'chit-chat'
by HANNAH BROCKHAUS

VATICAN CITY (CNA/EWTN News) - On Wednesday, Pope Francis called out the common habit of chatting with people around you before Mass, stressing that this is a time for silent prayer, when we prepare our hearts for an encounter with the Lord.
"When we go to Mass, maybe we arrive five minutes before, and we start to chit-chat with those in front of us," the Pope said Nov. 15. However, "it is not a moment for chit-chat."
"It is a moment of silence for preparing ourselves for dialogue, a time for the heart to collect itself in order to prepare for the encounter with Jesus," he said, adding that "silence is so important."
Continuing his new catechesis on the Eucharist, the Pope recalled his message the week prior, that the Mass is not a show, but a place where we encounter the Lord. In this encounter, he said, silence is what "prepares us and accompanies us."
But to really understand this, first we have to answer a question, he said. And that is: What is prayer?
Prayer is, "first and foremost dialogue, personal relationship with God," he said. And in prayer, just like in any dialogue, it needs moments of silence "together with Jesus." This, he said, is because it is only in the "mysterious silence of God" that his Word can resound in our heart.
Francis explained that to pray is not difficult, and is something that Jesus himself taught us to do first of all by example, when in the Gospels he withdraws to a secluded place to pray. And second, he teaches us again when he tells his disciples that the first word in knowing how to pray is "Father."
This is "so simple," the Pope said. "So we have to learn, 'Father.'" Then, we must take on the attitude of a small child before his or her parents. One full of trust and confidence, knowing that God "remembers you and takes care of you," he said.
The second attitude we should take is one of childlike surprise and wonder. The child, he said, "always asks a thousand questions because he wants to discover the world; in our relationship with the Lord, in prayer, wonder," he said, telling pilgrims to "open the heart to wonder."
When it comes to prayer, he noted that often we are busy with many different activities or projects and say we don't have time. "We lose sight of what is fundamental: our life of the heart, our spiritual life, our life of prayer with the Lord."
However, Jesus surprises us in truth by loving us and calling us even in our weaknesses, he said, adding that just as Christ called his disciples, he also calls us to him at each Mass.
"This is therefore the greatest grace: to be able to experience the Mass, the Eucharist. It is the privileged moment to be with Jesus, and through Him with God and his brothers."

Not every story has to be told with expansive cutscenes and dialogue. That's the idea behind a lot of games like Dark Souls and the like, and it's an idea that Derek Yu, the one-man dev team behind Mossmouth, the studio developing Spelunky 2 is trying to stick to. While catching up with Yu on the GDC 2019 showfloor, we were able to learn a bit more about the game, as well as talk about his plans to focus heavily on player choices and consequences.
We already had a chance to try out Spelunky 2 at GDC this year, with our own Ozzie Mejia writing up a fairly glowing piece on the game. Make sure you check out our hands-on with Spelunky 2 if you're curious to read Ozzie's thoughts on it. Now, back to the topic at hand. While talking with Yu, Asif Khan—the man with the briefcase himself—was able to learn a few key things about the upcoming rogue-like adventure.
First, no Nintendo Switch version has been confirmed. Asif tried to get some news, but unfortunately Yu was unwilling to budge on the matter. Second, we learned that quite a few changes are coming to Spelunky, and while it remains the same at its core, we'll also see some new interactable characters for players to run across. All of this is part of what Yu hopes will be a living breathing world, full of player choice and consequence. He was adamant when talking about his plans that each player's choices play a large part in how their run progressed, and it's definitely a trend we've seen throughout Spelunky since the game's original release several years back.
You can check out the full interview above for all the details—it's worth watching, I swear. Be sure to head over to the GamerHubTV and Shacknews YouTube channels as well, so you don't miss out on any additional interviews and video content.

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Cruise-Ship Passengers Demand to Be Housed at Mar-a-Lago
By Andy Borowitz
OAKLAND (The Borowitz Report)—Irate passengers who have been stranded onboard the Grand Princess cruise ship are demanding to be housed at Mar-a-Lago, the passengers confirmed on Monday.
Frustrated by the Trump Administration's delay in devising a plan to enable them to disembark, the nearly three thousand coronavirus-exposed passengers said that it was "only fair" that Trump welcome them to his Palm Beach home.
"Donald Trump keeps on saying that he's not worried about coronavirus," the passengers' spokesman said. "Then he shouldn't object to three thousand of us living with him."
The passengers said that they were looking forward to the Mar-a-Lago life style, which includes golf, swimming, and listening in on national-security secrets in the main dining room.
At the White House, Trump said that, if the Grand Princess passengers are transferred to Mar-a-Lago, they should stay as far away from him as possible, "like Melania does when she's down there."
The coronavirus crisis deepened on Sunday after a man who showed signs of lethargy, drooping eyelids, and other flu-like symptoms turned out to be the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson.
Andy Borowitz is a Times best-selling author and a comedian who has written for The New Yorker since 1998. He writes The Borowitz Report, a satirical column on the news.

Coming off a loss at home against the No. 1 team in the country, the Maryland Terrapins men's lacrosse team ventured back to the win column with a 16-12 victory over the visiting Michigan Wolverines.
Logan Wisnauskas and Jared Bernhardt stole the show for the Terrapins as both players combined for 10 goals and 6 assists against Michigan. Wisnauskas' day was a historic one as the sophomore became the first player in Maryland lacrosse history to post at least 50 points in his first two seasons as a Terp. Bernhardt put his name in the record books, becoming the first Terrapin to record a hat trick in five consecutive games since 2004.
Closing the first quarter tied at three, Maryland opened the floodgates with a seven-goal second period led by Bernhardt and Wisnauskas. Louis Dubick started the scoring in the second quarter with two goals in the first four minutes to give Maryland a 5-3 lead. Following Michigan freshman Bryce Clay's 17th goal of the season, Maryland scored the final five goals before half to take a 10-4 lead into the locker room.
Maryland scored four goals in the final 1:17 of the half as all four were scored off the sticks of Bernhardt or Wisnauskas. The two snipers combined for more first half goals (6) than Michigan had as a team (4).
At the beginning of the second half, Michigan scored the first two goals of the third quarter causing Maryland to call a timeout with 8:28 remaining in the period. Michigan's Avery Myers and Clay both scored early in the quarter to bring the lead down to four.
Following the timeout, Wisnauskas gave the Terps their first goal of the second half, but Michigan's Decker Curran quickly brought the lead back to four. Michigan did make another run capitalizing on a solid third quarter to begin the final quarter trailing by just two.
Maryland would shut the door in the fourth leaving no room for a comeback as Wisnauskas and Bernhardt tallied three more combined. Maryland controlled possession late, securing the 16-12 win.
Senior defender Curtis Corley was thoroughly impressed with his freshman teammate Brett Makar, one of the young players shuffled around in the defense discussed by coach Tillman after the loss to Penn State last week. Makar rebounded with a tremendous game defensively, helping to preserve the win for the Terps.
Maryland 9-2 now travels to Piscataway, New Jersey to face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights next Sunday, trying to move to 2-1 in the Big Ten.
