As the largest European semiconductor vendor with annual revenues just a hair under $10 billion, STMicroelectronics brings plenty of clout to two related questions this year: how will it conduct its process technology development, and how will the company apportion its chip manufacturing.
While the Crolles alliance between ST, NXP, and Freescale ends later this year as 45-nm development wraps up, the Crolles II fab will continue. NXP has said it will leave both the alliance and the fab this year. That means that the 2.500 wafer starts per week will be divided in half, between ST and Freescale, rather than in thirds.
It may be that 1,250 300-mm wafers per week doesn't sound like a lot. However, if only 7-10 percent of the $10 billion in annual revenues is on digital CMOS and made on internal capacity, Crolles II will continue to play a big role. Also, if even a fraction of the ST-Hynix joint venture fab in China is diverted from DRAMs and flash to logic, that would provide ST with increased logic or mixed-signal capacity in China.
Carlo Bozotti, the relatively new CEO of STMicro, has said several things recently. One is that ST is well set for capacity for the time being. Another is that that the company wants to keep its capital investments down, bolstering its balance sheet during downturns.
And more recently, Bozotti has said he wants to work with a leading alliance, or partner, to develop its 32-nm process. At one point, Bozotti was quoted as using the word "obtain," which would imply a licensing deal with a foundry. Co-development would imply joining something like the Fishkill alliance, already bulging with members but one that surely would welcome Europe's leading chip maker.
All that raises the question of what happens to the shell in Catania, Sicily, and whether STMicro will ever operate its 300-mm M6 fab there. Already, management has said that ST's current capacity loading is "suboptimal." They are no doubt glad that Catania isn't worsening the situation now.
However, if Catania continues to stand empty, it could stand as a symbol for Europe's semiconductor industry.

A New Tool for Studying Gorilla Health: Half-Chewed Food
InkfishBy Elizabeth PrestonJuly 13, 2016 11:59 PM
In the mountains of Central Africa, scientists who study critically endangered gorillas have a new tool. They've discovered that they can learn what viruses gorillas are carrying by stealthily collecting half-chewed plants the apes leave behind. If this sounds reminiscent of that class clown at the third-grade lunch table who would ask if you liked seafood and then say "See? Food!" and open his mouth wide to display his sloppy Joe slurry, don't worry—mountain gorillas are vegetarians. And researchers aren't looking inside the animals' mouths. They decided to search gorillas' plant scraps for viruses exactly because they don't want to get too close. Tierra Smiley Evans, of the "Gorilla Doctors" at UC Davis, and her coauthors explain that the existing ways to check gorillas for viruses aren't great. Scientists can take blood from the animals, or swab their mouths or rectums. But these procedures require trapping an animal and knocking it out. Since there are fewer than 900 members of this gorilla subspecies living in the wild, scientists would prefer to bother the animals as little as possible. Other options include collecting feces or urine from gorillas. But this is tricky too, because it requires following gorillas both day and night and noticing exactly where they relieve themselves. Between 2012 and 2013, the researchers observed gorilla families in the Virunga population. (One of two wild populations of mountain gorillas, these animals live in an area spanning parts of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.) Guides who are very familiar with the gorillas were able to identify the individuals. Researchers watched from a distance while gorillas ate, then collected plant parts the animals left behind. They looked especially for anything with saliva or teeth marks on it. Then they packed the bits of stems, leaves and roots in liquid nitrogen to take back to the lab. The team ended up with 383 plant samples from 294 gorillas of all ages. The most common samples came from a vine called Urera, which gorillas like to eat just the outside layer of. Another popular plant was wild celery; gorillas use their teeth to scrape out the tasty inner part of a stalk, then discard the rest. The scientists also collected chewed plant samples from 18 golden monkeys, another primate species that lives in the area, for comparison. In the lab, researchers analyzed the samples for genetic material. They found DNA from gorilla herpesviruses in 42 percent of the gorilla plant samples. These viruses often live in a host without making the animal sick. They didn't find any of the several respiratory viruses they checked for—which wasn't surprising, the authors write, because none of the gorillas looked sick. The researchers also checked their samples for something called simian foamy virus. This common virus uses RNA to carry its genes, rather than DNA. They didn't find any simian foamy virus in the gorilla samples, but they did find some in 2 of the 15 golden monkey samples. This suggests that it's also possible to find RNA-based viruses using this technique—although maybe it doesn't work as well for gorillas. Overall, the see-food method seemed to be a good one. Researchers could learn about the viruses their primate subjects were carrying, and they didn't have to get too close or harass the animals. The method could be especially important for this population of mountain gorillas, the researchers write, because the animals live in close proximity to humans. Between tourism, scientific research, and dense human populations in the surrounding areas, the Virunga mountain gorillas have plenty of chances to get exposed to human viruses—which may infect gorillas too. Studying the gorillas' saliva-covered table scraps might be a good (only slightly gross) way to help keep them safe.

Q: How to use Findstr regex to match a dash (-)? Trying to use findstr to match text that follows the format below:

PTB-14
AIR-217

The problem I'm having is that I just can't seem to get findstr to match on the dash, -. I've created the script below in a batch file:
set dash=-
echo.%dash%
echo !dash! | findstr /i /r /C:- >nul
if errorlevel 1 (
    echo "ERROR!" >&2
    )

I've tried the regex with /C:-, /C:"-", /C:"\-" and /C:"\\-". I just can't seem to get it matched. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

A: Actually there is no need to use a regular expression (/R), but you can use a literal search string -. And case-insensitivity (/I) does also not make much sense with non-letter characters.
Anyway, I think the problem in your code is that you do not have delayed expansion enabled, although you are trying to use it, so echo !dash! actually echoes !dash! literally.
To solve that, there are a few options:

*

*Place setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion before your code and (optionally) place endlocal after it in order to enable delayed expansion in the parent cmd instance that executes your batch file, like this:
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "dash=-"
echo(%dash%
echo(!dash!| > nul findstr /C:"-" || >&2 echo ERROR^^!
endlocal

*A pipe | initiates two new cmd instances for either side, which do not have delayed expansion enabled, even if the parenth cmd instance does. However, you can explicitly initiate another cmd instance on the left side of the pipe with delayed expansion enabled (/V):
set "dash=-"
echo(%dash%
cmd /V /C echo(^!dash^!| > nul findstr /C:"-" || >&2 echo ERROR!

The exclamation marks are escaped (^!) in order for them not to be consumed by the parent cmd instance in case delayed expansion is enabled there; if not, the escaping does not harm.
In the above code fragments, I additionally changed the following:

*

*set dash=- has become set "dash=-", as this is the most secure syntax that prevents unintended trailing white-spaces and accepts even special characters like ^, &, (, ), <, > and |;

*echo. has become echo(, which is the only reliable syntax, although it looks odd;

*the SPACE in front of the pipe | has disappeared, because it would also have been echoed;

*if ErrorLevel 1 has been replaced by the conditional command concatenation operator ||, which lets the following command execute only in case an error occurred, or, technically spoken, in case the exit code of the previous command was non-zero;

*echo "ERROR!" >&2 has been changed to >&2 echo ERROR^^! or >&2 echo ERROR! in order to avoid the quotation marks "" and the SPACE before >&2 to be echoed also; the double-escaping of the ! is needed to display it in case delayed expansion is enabled;

The Pain of Exile and the Discovery of a Continent. The Experience of Arturo Paoli in Argentina among the Woodcutters of Fortín Olmos (1960- 1969): A First Sketch Starting with his Letters
Keywords: Arturo Paoli, Argentina, Latin American Catholicism
This article constitutes a first attainment in a critical annotation work and study of a conspicuous sample of letters written from Northeastern Argentina by the Italian Priest and Little Brother of the Gospel Arturo Paoli during his first decade overseas (1960-1969) after his two consecutive forced departures from Rome (1954) and from Italy (1959). This epistolary documentation offers a privileged access key to the complex human and spiritual itinerary undertaken during the 1960s by this important figure of twentieth-century Italian Catholicism, in a country grappling with the burdensome inheritance of the Peronist period and in a Church in which Vatican II had the effect of a new detonator of more or less latent conflicts. Addressed to about twenty recipients, the Argentine missives allow us to throw a first light on an important, unknown, biographical segment of the life of this reluctant passeur between two continents, marked by the search for a new vital rooting in Latin America.


Despite the mild weather defining this fall, King County Executive Dow Constantine and King County Flood District Chair Reagan Dunn are urging preparedness for the inevitable flooding that occurs every year. King County provides many ways to help people prepare, from flood alerts to sandbags.
"I urge everyone to be aware of potential flood risks at home, along their commute route, and at work, and to take the necessary steps to stay safe throughout this flood season," said Chair Dunn.
King County has experienced 12 federally declared flood disasters since 1990.
Buying flood insurance now; it takes 30 days for a policy to take effect, and a standard insurance policy will not cover flood damage. Contact your insurance agent or visit floodsmart.gov.
Disposing of hazardous chemicals, such as lawn and gardening herbicides, at one of the county's household hazardous waste sites to help reduce harmful contaminates in flood waters. Learn more at kingcounty.gov/hazwaste.
Once a flood event is imminent, King County employees will mobilize and begin to gather, analyze and distribute flood warning information so that residents, businesses, property owners and emergency response officials can make important health, safety and economic decisions.
When river levels rise to designated thresholds, King County's Flood Warning Center is opened and staffed around-the-clock to monitor river gages, weather data, dam operations and road closures. When warranted, staff are dispatched to address safety concerns, such as flooded roadways, and to check on flood control facilities.
When the Flood Warning Center is open, citizens can directly contact King County staff 24 hours a day with their flooding concerns and questions by calling 206-296-8200 or 1-800-945-9263.
Questions or assistance with flooding on smaller streams or urban drainage problems can be called in to 206-477-4811 during business hours, or 206-296-8100 after hours or on weekends.
Efforts to protect people and property have earned King County the highest rating of any county in the United States under Federal Emergency Management Agency's Community Rating System. King County's high CRS rating saves flood insurance policyholders in unincorporated King County over $1 million per year – an average of $450 per policy.

Europe's perplexed Pakistanis
By Pervez Hoodbhoy
PAKISTANI immigrants to Europe tend to get a bad press. I was, therefore, pleasantly surprised by my brief encounter in Stockholm three weeks ago with a dozen or so well-settled, ordinary working-class Pakistanis. Some had migrated from Mirpur (AJK), others from KP and Sindh. Their attitudes and lifestyles challenge the common negative stereotypes of Pakistani migrants in Europe.
Do you speak and read Swedish reasonably well? Are local laws fair and non-discriminatory? Do your children go to Swedish schools and do they have Swedish friends? Can you feel this to be your own country? Receiving positive responses, I slowly moved on to the most sensitive of questions and held my breath: Would you be okay if your daughter were to date a Swedish guy? Marry him? And, finally, is Sweden where someday you might choose to die and be buried?
Except for the very last question (where some wavered) all other answers were again affirmative. Significantly, these were not well-heeled upper-class folks who readily form a globalised community. Instead, they were bus drivers, hospital staff, and other blue-collar workers in love with their adopted country. They were trying hard to deal with the us-versus-them binary.
Were such attitudes more common the sickeningly familiar caricature of the backward, anti-freedom, unassimilable Pakistani migrant would vanish. But this wasn't so clear once I probed further: could you kindly guess how many other Pak-Swedes are also largely positive about their new country?
Opinions varied but the consensus was clear — only a minority of first-generation Pak-Swedes, like this particular group, is fully at ease. Since they acknowledge getting a fair deal in their new country, what alienates the majority? Answer: discomfort with the bay hayaee (sexual laxity) of locals and their deen say doori (non-adherence to religion — any religion). As with other Pakistani immigrants in Europe, some stridently reject the core values of their host country and condemn the 'immoral' lifestyles of the majority.
Why do Pakistanis enjoying the West's pluralism stay silent about pluralism within Pakistan?
This unctuous piety is sometimes dubious — it stands against a pioneering research study putting sexuality as a key motivation for young Pakistani men to emigrate. In his book: Masculinity, Sexuality, and Illegal Immigration – Human Smuggling from Pakistan to Europe, Ali Nobil Ahmad, a fellow at the Zentrum Moderner Orient in Berlin, finds the pull of deep-seated psychological forces no less important than the push of economic forces.
After interviewing dozens of young immigrant men from lower-middle-class backgrounds, Ahmad concludes that lure of adventure and libidinal frustration drives even relatively economically secure migrants. Risking life and limb, they hope to escape a conservative society where every form of contact with women is forbidden — other than a family-arranged marriage — into a world where pleasures of the flesh are tauntingly visible through advertising and the global media. Parents often marry them off before they depart but the problem doesn't end there.
The sweet fruits of the Promised Land are enjoyed for a while but long term adaptation to the metropolises of Europe is difficult for many. Most perplexing is the freedom enjoyed by Western women, with whom liaisons are short term. To shut out their 'corrupting influence', families arrange for cousin marriages or import brides. These are routine in Britain's poorest areas where immigrants have ghettoised.
Growing conservatism and poor schooling in the homeland has made Pakistani immigrants less absorbable globally. As Pakistan steadily becomes less liberal and goes the Al Huda way, the changes are visible in habits and dress. The burqa issue resounds throughout Europe. That welcome for unassimilable immigrants has dried out is unsurprising.
A highly visible trend among Pakistanis is greater immersion in one's own religious community. Even in North America where Pakistanis are generally wealthier than whites, the social life of most expatriates — the richest ones excepted — organises itself around mosques and Islamic centres. Toronto, for example, is a city divided among Deobandis, Barelvis, Shias, Bohras, and Ismailis who have built their own places of worship and largely interact only among themselves. Ahmadis have a worship-cum-housing complex spread over 35 acres.
Isolation from the mainstream has extracted a price in the general well-being of immigrants, particularly for Pakistan-origin Brits. Muslim school students — of which a full 40 per cent are Pakistanis — have been documented as underachievers. Muhammad Anwar, a social scientist and author of British Muslims and State Policies argues that Pakistani-Brits generally have education achievement levels lying at the low end of all ethnic minorities in Britain.
On the other hand, immigrants who share values with the host country can rise high. Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and home secretary, Sajid Javid, are obvious examples. Expectedly, wealthier, upper-class Pakistanis are familiar with Western cultural mores. Educated in top-notch schools, they find the West hospitable. This year, as every year, thousands will make their way to universities across North America, Europe, and Australia. Others will rely on immigration sponsorship by family members who are already citizens.
Most, whether wealthy or poor, will try their hardest to never return home and many will succeed in becoming first-generation immigrants. Some dream of wealth, others of personal fulfilment. Still others want to escape a suffocating social and physical environment. Most will be preoccupied in making a new life for themselves.
But exceptions aside — such as the few I met in Stockholm — Pakistani immigrants to the West don't insist on changing things back in the homeland. That Pakistan needs to end discrimination against its ethnic minorities, women, and non-Muslims is heard but rarely, and that too only from Baloch, Sindhi and Kashmiri nationalist groups. One could have expected broader participation because immigrants benefit from open pluralist societies that, by law, must treat all citizens equally. This, of course, is why Pakistanis choose to immigrate.
If first-generation immigrants lack activism, perhaps the second generation will compensate someday. When such voices for justice are heard loud and clear — and if they are joined by immigrant communities from other countries in demanding changes back home — multiple noxious xenophobic movements in the West will collapse like a pricked balloon. Let's hope.

Guide to the League Two newcomers
A look at the division's new sides.
Lewis Hancock
L_Hancock6
The fixtures for the 2017/18 Sky Bet League Two season have been released and Town have six new teams to face. Here's a little bit about them:
It was a miserable season for Chesterfield last term as they propped up the League One table after 46 games.
With previously prolific forwards Ched Evans, who has since moved back to Sheffield United, and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake on their books, the Spireites weren't expected to struggle.
However, they did so in front of goal netting just 43 times - the third lowest total in the division.
Chesterfield also found wins hard to come by, securing three points just once in their remaining 10 matches.
Manager Gary Caldwell has already added seven players to his squad and is priced at 7/2 to take his side up at the first attempt.
The Glovers travel to Chesterfield on a Tuesday night in September.
Despite the misery of relegation, Coventry did pick up some silverware last season.
The Midlands outfit were winners of the Checkatrade Trophy – a rare bit of success in an otherwise disappointing year.
With a lot of off-field problems, the Sky Blues played a host of youngsters in the league but couldn't avoid the drop under Tony Mowbray's guidance.
Coventry were in the Premier League 16 years ago and haven't been in the bottom tier of English football since 1959.
Yeovil welcome Coventry to Huish Park in the first month of the season.

Download the fixtures to your calendar
It will be the first league meeting between Town and Forest Green for the first time since New Year's Day 2003 when the two sides go head-to-head on August, 19th.
The Glovers were victorious that day thanks to a solitary goal from Kirk Jackson and went on to secure the Conference title.
Forest Green finished ninth that year and remained non-league up until their promotion last season.
Mark Cooper's side defeated Tranmere Rovers 3-1 in National League play-off final at Wembley to reach the EFL for the first time in their history.
Welshman Christian Doidge, who netted the Gloucestershire outfit's second in the capital, was the club's top scorer with 27 goals which has prompted interest from Sky Bet League One side Oxford United.
National League champions Lincoln won 30 league matches to win their first title since 1988.
The Imps scored 83 goals and collected 99 points to end their six-year absence from League Two.
Their fantastic league campaign coincided with a brilliant run in the Emirates FA Cup where they defeated three EFL sides.
Oldham Athletic, Ipswich Town and Premier League Burnley all succumbed to Lincoln's giant-killing prowess before Danny Cowley's side proved a stubborn test for Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
Town will host Lincoln on December 9th before visiting them on the final day of the season.
A last day draw at Fleetwood Town wasn't enough for Port Vale to avoid relegation.
The Vailants will lament five consecutive losses in April, which significant;y contributed to their downfall.
Similarly to Chesterfield, goals proved a tough ask with Vale only scoring 18 goals in the second part of the season and didn't have a single player in double figures.
Since the end of the season, Chairman Norman Smurthwaite resigned after stating he "seriously damaged the club" while Michael Brown has taken over as manager on a permanent basis.
Town's first game against Vale is on January 13th 2018 at Vale Park.
Swindon were one game away from reaching the Championship two years ago– next season they will compete in League Two.
Head Coach Luke Williams was supposedly not in control of transfers and his team selections were rumoured to be influenced by Chairman Lee Power and director of football Tim Sherwood.
The Robins have since parted company with both and will be marshalled by David Flitcroft.
Like Chesterfield, Coventry and Port Vale, Town haven't played Swindon since the 2014/15 League One season.
Swindon won League Two in 2012 and are 12/1 to win it this time round.

Conservatives Endorse Wilfong For Jamestown Mayor
June 12, 2019 News Staff Election 2019, Politics 0
Pictured left to right: Beth Wilfong, Dave Wilfong (R) Candidate for Mayor. Image by Justin Gould/WNYNewsNow. 03/26/19.
JAMESTOWN – Conservatives in Jamestown have endorsed Dave Wilfong as their choice for mayor; City of Jamestown Republicans announced Wednesday.
Wilfong is currently the Chairman of the Chautauqua County Republican Party, the Chautauqua County New York State Republican committeeman and currently serves District 11 Chautauqua County Legislator.
"My record as a fiscal Conservative on the Chautauqua County Legislature, has once again earned me the Conservative party endorsement for my campaign as Mayor of Jamestown. We have been able to cut taxes and spending in Chautauqua County and I pledge to do the same as Mayor of Jamestown", stated Wilfong.
Since 1998, Wilfong has served at the Director of Maintenance for Intandem Solutions, formerly known as the Rehabilitation Center in Olean.
Wilfong boasts many years of supervisory experience, developing capital budgets and working within approved budgets, and directed the cost-efficient maintenance of 23 agency sites.
"I am also a social conservative and have supported the repeal of the Safe Act, campaigned against Common Core, and believe we must do more to stop the rise of illegal immigration into our Country", said Wilfong.
"My record shows that I have the most experience of any candidate running for Mayor, that I can work collaboratively with others and across party lines, and that I have proper temperament to make Jamestown great again", Wilfong added.
Wilfong is married to the former Beth Gustafson and they have three children. He is a lifelong resident of Jamestown and is a veteran of the United States Army.
The candidate was previously endorsed as the Republican Candidate for City of Jamestown Mayor. He will face challenger Andy Liuzzo in the June 25 primary election.

If it is advisable cover a spare key, do so in a safe method. Putting it under your doormat, in a plant hanging by the door, in your garage hung on the wall or within the mailbox are all poor decisions. As a substitute, bury it someplace and mark it in a non-descript method. Don't leave your garage doors open, even in case you are currently home. Burglars will attempt to get in through the storage, and if it is open, they will simply break by means of the door to your house. Use a keypad that requires a mixture to allow entry into your own home.
You could be tempted to install large fountains and different huge panorama gadgets like bushes. Make sure that none of these block the home windows and doorways of your property. Burglars are more likely to burglarize homes that look like they've a lot of places for them to hide from nosy neighbors. What plans do you've for the house safety system in your home? You don't wish to enter a call like this not likely knowing what you are doing. This decision involves a substantial investment, and also you need to put the security of your loved ones as a high priority. Preserve studying to search out out what to do.
Watch what you say on social media. Within the era of fixed Twitter and Facebook updates, it's simple to develop into too lax on what you share. Irrespective of how excited you're about your upcoming vacation, social media is just not the place to broadcast your trip. It's too easy for somebody who isn't a good friend to study of your plans, allowing them to break in once they know you might be away.
Maintain those windows locked so your home won't be an easy goal.
With all the new know-how these days, you'll be able to ditch your outdated set of home keys. The latest in dwelling safety now lets you have the choice of key-less entry into your private home. A particular device reads predetermined fingerprints programmed by you, and the door will only open with there is a match. Ask concerning the varied contract lengths supplied by a house safety company. Each most likely has its personal set of positives and negatives. Longer agreements could price much less per thirty days, but chances are you'll not have the ability to get out of the contract if you need to. Shorter contracts have extra freedom, but the month-to-month costs may very well be greater.

Abstract: "Becker, Philipson and Soares (2005) maintain that including life expectancy gains in a welfare indicator result in a reduction of inequality between 1960 and 2000 twice as great as when measured by per capita income. We discuss their methodology and show it determines the convergence result. We use an alternative methodology, based on Fleurbaey and Gaulier (2009), which monetizes differences in life expectancy between countries at each date rather than life expectancy gains. We show that including life expectancy has no effect on the evolution of world inequality."
Abstract: "This article analyzes the evolution of spatial inequalities in mortality across 90 French territorial units since 1806. Using a new database, we identify a period from 1881 to 1980 when inequalities rapidly shrank while life expectancy rose. This century of convergence across territories was mainly due to the fall in infant mortality. Since 1980, spatial inequalities have levelled out or occasionally widened, due mainly to differences in life expectancy among the elderly. The geography of mortality also changed radically during the century of convergence. Whereas in the 19th century high mortality occurred mainly in larger cities and along a line from North-west to South-east France, it is now concentrated in the North, and Paris and Lyon currently enjoy an urban advantage."
Abstract: "Debates concerning the territorial divide in France are deep. To bring a contribution to this issue, I compute the departmental lifetables since 1901, for both men and women. In this paper, I present the raw data collected to do so, namely yearly births and deaths by age as well as population by age at each census carried out during the 20th century. I add statistics according to military mortality and mortality in deportation to cover the periods of the Two World Wars. I also present the methods I use to compute these lifetables, which come mainly from the Human Mortality Database protocol. I revise this protocol to take into account the specificities of French departmental data, mainly the few changes in French departmental boundaries, the underestimation of infant mortality and the lack of raw data homogeneity. This new database complements a still limited supply of long-term mortality statistics computed at local level."
Abstract: "This paper analyses the uneven spatial distribution of population in the French départements and his evolvement between 1851 and 2014. To do so, I use a new demographical database built at the departmental level for the whole 20th century. Firstly, I show that the spatial distribution of the total population is more and more unequal. This process can be described as the sequence of three phases called "hyper-centralization", "hyper-centralization thwarted" and "multipolarization". I analyse this process through the two potential sources of population increase, natural movement (total births minus total deaths) and migrations. I point out some geographical regions which cumulate impairments: no attractivity for potential migrations and scarce natural movement. Second, I reveal that the age profile of inequalities has changed along the 150 years. Today, this profile has an inverted U-shape, with a maximal inequality for young workers aged 20 to 40. In a third time, I show that population age structures are more and more differentiated between départements. The territorial specialization according to population by age has increased since 1950. In 2014, retirees are largely over-represented in rural départements, while 20 to 40-year-old are over-represented in urban départements. As such, the rural South-west is more and more an exclusion land for young workers."
Abstract: "The recent debates on French territorial fractures require to place spatial inequalities in a historical perspective. This paper reconstructs the departmental fiscal income for the period 1922–2014 thanks to demographic data (Bonnet, 2018), economic data (Bonnet and Sotura, 2018) and tax statistics collected for the first time. I use this unique database to analyze the evolution of spatial income inequalities by adults. I show that spatial inequalities have greatly diminished for nearly 100 years, and that this convergence was particularly powerful between 1950 and 1980. I call this phase "glorious 30 of spatial inequalities" because it coincides with a more egalitarian spatial distribution of income on the national landscape. In a second step, I show that the analysis of spatial inequalities of income per adult without taking into account inequalities of mortality masks some realities. To do so, I calculate the mortality adjusted income per adult using the methodology proposed by Fleurbaey and Gaulier (2009). Using this new specification, I reval that spatial inequalities have followed an inverted U shape. The upward phase of inequalities, which I place between 1922 and 1955, is explained by the gradual disappearance of the "urban penalty" of mortality that affected the most developed urbanized départements. Finally, this paper looks at the evolution of the geography of development in France. I show that the South-West of the country has been in a strong catch-up process for 100 years, while the North-East is experiencing a profound decline: whereas départements with the highest incomes were in this region at the beginning of the 20th century, the situation has now totally reversed."
Abstract: "This paper analyzes internal migratory flows of population in France during the Second World War. I present a method for estimating intercensal local populations from three kinds of statistical data: intercensal national populations, local census populations, and intercensal local births and deaths. I then apply this method to estimate the female populations in the French metropolitan départements between 1939 and 1946. These estimates allow me to calculate the apparent migratory flows foreach year and each département during the Second World War. I show that the exodus of May-June 1940 was only a first step in the massive internal population flows observed in France at that time. The 1940-1941 period saw the displacement of a large part of the population from the North to the South of the country. I also show that the "ligne de démarcation" represented, until 1943, a clear boundary between the départements that welcomed refugees and those in which the population leaves. This result proves that this fictitious border has not totally prevented people from moving. In detail, the département of Ardennes was the most affected by departures following the country invasion: in 1941, 60% of the 1939 population was missing. Finally, I show that France kept the scars of war in 1946: a part of the refugees did not come back in the North-West and the North-East. At the opposite, the population of the South-West, a land of refugees during the war, increased between 1939 and 1946 because of these internal migrations."
Abstract: "This paper presents methods used to compute income distributions of each French metropolitan département during the period 1960-2014. We first present the raw materials that allowed these computations, which come from the archives of the Finance Ministry, and are available for 1960-1969, 1986-1998 and 2001-2014 periods. Then we present methods that allowed these computations, based on the methodology used for the first time in the French case by Piketty (2001), then extended to the recent period by Garbinti et al. (2016). It relies on the use of Pareto's law to estimate high incomes, as well as its extrapolation for low incomes and intermediate incomes thanks to Blanchet et al. (2017)'s work. This study makes it possible to know the whole departmental income distributions for each year and each département of our panel. These data shed new light on some current debates such as the convergence of living conditions within the French territories or the uneven spatial distribution of the richest households."


Outcomes after lung transplantation remain markedly worse compared to other grafts. Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a neutrophilic form of inflammation that inhibits both short and long-term survival of lung transplant recipients. These observations have led our group to focus on molecular signals that promote neutrophil trafficking into lung grafts following transplantation. In our previous funding period we developed methods to employ intravital 2-photon microscopy to analyze real-time neutrophil trafficking dynamics within ventilated mouse orthotopic lung grafts. This technical innovation allowed us to reveal the critical role that monocytes play in the neutrophil transendothelial migration into reperfused lung grafts and to uncover interactions between neutrophils and other lung graft cells that promote alloimmunity. In this application we propose to examine innate immune signaling pathways that regulate neutrophil trafficking behavior within lung grafts to better understand how these cells prevent tolerance. To this end in Aim 1 we will analyze the role of recipients monocytes and donor Dap12, an adaptor molecule that controls innate immune signaling, in lung graft injury through regulating neutrophil recruitment. We will specifically determine if Dap12 regulates neutrophil transendothelial trafficking and tolerance through controlling the production of cytokines and chemokines in macrophages.
In Aim 2 we propose to define the role of necrotaxis in lung transplants, a specialized form of neutrophil chemotaxis towards dying cells. To execute this aim we will analyze the role of FPR1, a chemokine receptor recently shown to control necrotaxis, to determine if this specific type of neutrophil migratory behavior controls transepithelial trafficking and in turn promotes inflammatory signals that regulate CD4+ T cell polarization and lung transplant rejection.
Lung transplantation has become an established therapy for patients suffering from end stage lung disease. Lung transplant recipient survival is still poor when compared to recipients of other solid organs such as the kidney, liver and heart. A major obstacle to the survival of lung transplant recipients is primary graft dysfunction, which is mediated by neutrophil trafficking into transplanted lungs. In this grant proposal we propose to study how neutrophils traffic into lung transplants to find new approaches to improve lung transplant recipient survival.

Most of this analysis is good and reassuring, but there's one intangible factor that deserves careful scrutiny: Who is learning fastest? China's project to build aircraft carriers is less about the ships themselves and more about figuring out how to scale up really big tasks.
The Federal budget deficit is on track to exceed $3,000 per person this fiscal year. That's not total Federal spending, it's just the amount being over-spent. That's crazy, and if you think people are living in precarious fiscal circumstances today, the consequences of these deficits are going to be painful.

Mad Cow Theatre Announces DINNER WITH BOOKER T
The production will be performed at Mad Cow's Harriett Theatre, January 26 through February 6, 2022.

Mad Cow Theatre has announced the Central Florida premiere of Dinner with Booker T., a one-man show written and performed by Darryl Reuben Hall. The production will be performed at Mad Cow's Harriett Theatre, January 26 through February 6, 2022.
Dinner with Booker T. offers an inside historical look into the life of one of America's greatest orators, educators, presidential advisors, and a leader in advancing Black Americans during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Mr. Booker T. Washington. Based on his rise from slavery, to student, to educator, to national and worldwide leader, this 70-minute work is comprised of original rhetoric, research, song, dance, speeches, historical dialogue, and visual presentations. The show has previously received acclaim at Emerald Coast Theatre as well as Amelia Musical Playhouse, and was chosen for the 2019 National Black Theatre Festival.
Darryl Reuben Hall takes the audience on a journey into the life of Booker T. Washington by portraying the many friends and enemies that kept him strong in the fight for equality. In a recent interview, Mr. Hall talked about the production and its inspiration. "Booker T. Washington was one of this country's most notable leaders. Dinner with Booker T. is a look at his life through 14 characters in this one-man show as I tell of Mr. Washington's many accomplishments. ... [it] also engages song and dance in carrying Mr. Washington's journey 'Up from Slavery to the White House.' ... What audiences will find striking is much of the script is comprised of actual historical documents, letters, and speeches-making certain language used very shocking."
Regarding historical accuracy and legacy, Hall observes, "This is an inspiring work. To learn of Mr. Washington's mind and bravery and for him to have his students make the actual bricks and build the early school buildings of what was to become Tuskegee Institute is astonishing. Mr. Washington not only encouraged people to work with their hands, but he encouraged the growth of what were Historical Black Colleges and Universities."
Asked what audiences may take away from the show, Hall remarks, "A very clear understanding of strength and perseverance. From every circumstance that some may deem as poverty-stricken or challenging, Mr. Washington never fretted but chose to use the opportunity as fuel to move forward."
Darryl Reuben Hall is an award-winning Broadway actor, professional artist, and educator who creates works of faith and Black history intertwined with music, drama, oral histories, and theatre. A graduate of University of Florida, Mr. Hall is renowned for his performances in Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular, New York City Opera's Porgy and Bess (Live from Lincoln Center), and at Walt Disney World. He has worked with legendary performers, including Aretha Franklin, Phylicia Rashad, and Leslie Uggams, among others. He founded Stage Aurora Theatrical Company.

Mad Cow Theatre Artistic Director Dr. Julius John is pleased to welcome Hall and this important work to Mad Cow. "Booker T. Washington once said, 'a lie doesn't become a truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.' If you wish to be inspired, come experience this important message. You will never be the same!"
