After Paris: U.S. looks at domestic terrorism

The recent Paris attacks that left 129 people killed and 352 wounded – and for which ISIS has claimed responsibility, calling them the "first of the storm" -- have raised questions about the identities of those involved, as well as more existential questions about the nature of terrorism. In the United States, the events in Paris have many examining the threat of foreign terrorism, in comparison to that of of domestic terrorism, on U.S. soil.
The events of September 11, 2001 may have shaped the U.S. more over the last 50 years than any other event, changing the nature of politics, the economy, and the social fabric of the country. When four passenger airliners were hijacked and flown into buildings, killing nearly 3,000 people and incurring billions of dollars in damage to infrastructure, it marked the first time most Americans had heard of the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda. In the years since 9/11, the United States engaged in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that, according to a 2013 article published by The Washington Post, have cost the government over $2 trillion. A study conducted by RAND Corporation reports that over 411,000 U.S. soldiers have been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Looking further back, there have been at least seven major terrorist attacks on American soil since the 1980s. "The UnaBomber" Ted Kaczinski orchestrated a string of mail bombings that claimed the lives of three people and wounded 23 between 1978-1895. In 1993, a bomb was detonated under two World Trade Center buildings. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 injured. Two years later Timothy McVey bombed the Alfred P. Murray Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, killing 168 people and injuring hundreds. During the 1996 Summer Olympics a bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia. One person was killed and 111 were injured. Eight years after 9/11, Major Nidal Hassan went on a shooting rampage at a military processing center in Fort Hood, Texas, killing 13 and wounding 32. And in April of 2013, two brothers planned and executed the bombing of the Boston Marathon, which killed three people and wounded 264.
A recent study done by International Security found that 26 of the deaths in those seven attacks were orchestrated by radical Islamic fundamentalists. In that same period of time, in 19 separate attacks, 48 people were killed by far-right radicals in the U.S. The Washington Post reported in June that intelligence agencies might be using more of their resources to prevent terrorist plots by Islamic extremists, and thus paying less attention to white supremacists and anti-government threats.
Ron Hosko, president of Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund and former assistant director of the F.B.I. told the Washington Post that there had been a "tremendous concentration" by the F.B.I. and the intelligence community in general on "both the foreign born and the homegrown Islamic extremist terrorist threats."
David Sterman of New America also believes that white supremacists and anti-government radicals are a significant threat to public safety. He expressed concern over the dismissal of their attacks as those of a "lone actor" or as a result of mental health issues. Dylan Roof, the man charged with killing nine people in Charleston, South Carolina Methodist church this year, expressed his Nazi-like views on social media and to friends prior to his attack. Sterman suggests that if an Islamic extremist were to do the same, he would have attracted the attention of federal agencies and maintained their attention until he "no longer posed a threat."
While it cannot be denied that foreign terrorism in the U.S. is a real threat, it is worth weighing it against instances of domestic attacks by Americans against other Americans. The fact remains that the latter phenomenon has a longer history. Nonetheless, fear of external threats appears the most prominent and vocal in the United States – particularly after Paris.
In the next installment of this series, we will examine how this fear has reinforced pre-existing negative stereotypes, notably of Muslims, in the United States.

Watch Hockey World League Live: India vs Malaysia Quarter Final Live Streaming Information
India finished second in Group A and will clash against Malaysia on Wednesday.
By : Ashim Sunam
Jul 1, 2015 07:00 IST
India have looked good in the ongoing Hockey World league semi-final in Antwerp, Belgium.IANS
India might have lost their last group A game against Australia in the ongoing Hockey World League, but their performance in the competition cannot be judged by their only loss against Australia. They drew with Pakistan after defeating France and Poland.
India as a result finished second in Group A and are hence scheduled to meet Malaysia, who finished third in Group B, in the round of last eight in Antwerp, Belgium.
Malaysia lost and won two each to secure a berth to play against India. They started the competition by emerging victorious against China and Ireland, who were obviously the weaklings in Group B.
When they faced some tough challenge from Belgium and Great Britain, they conceded defeat. Despite Malaysia's two back-to-back losses, India cannot take them lightly, and the men in blue must clearly keep in mind their defeat in Azlan Shah Cup a few months ago with the scoreline reading 3-2.
Hence, both India and Malaysia are aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents, which just means they will come fully prepared for the quarter-final clash.
Despite some good performances, India's coach Paul van Ass believes his men learned some important lessons during the group matches.
"We ought to take the lessons learnt from this game into the quarterfinal contest with Malaysia," PTI quoted Paul van Ass as saying. "There were some valuable lessons learnt during the pool matches here."
India could not come up with their best game against Australia. Their defence looked lacklustre and was unable to cope up with the constant threat from the Aussies. Indian defenders need to brace themselves for a feisty encounter against the Malaysians, who are an aggressive side.
The Australians were in full control of the game and the Indians finished second best in all departments of the game. Paul van Ass wants his players to set the pace against Malaysia. With players such as Sardar Singh in the midfield along with Ramandeep Singh in good goal-scoring form, the Indians have the firepower to dictate the game.
"We should be able to set the pace of the match," said van Ass. "Against Australia, we could do little when we got caught in the rhythm set by the World champions."
Apart from dictating the pace, Indian players need to find a way to make use of their penalty corners.
As India finished third in the 2015 Azlan Shah Cup, they have been improving under the guidance of Van Ass, who has been shaping the team to prepare for Rio Olympics 2016. Another good performance against Malaysia will not only help them grab the semi-finals spot, but also help them increase their level of confidence.

Also known as yellow root and goldenseal, the Hydrastis canadensis is a native of North America. It is best known for its immunostimulant, hepatic, cholagogue, bitter, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-bacterial properties.
Primarily the root is used and sometimes new leaves as well. It has been used in traditional medicine as a disinfectant as it contains broad-spectrum anti-bacterial and anti-viral compounds – hydrastine and barberine - that can fight effectively most infections. Hence, it is prescribed for upper respiratory infection, sinus infections, mouth ulcers, sore throat, wounds, cuts, skin infections and eye infections.
The Hydrastis canadensis root is also a biter which improve digestion by stimulating the bile especially in cases where damage has been created by colitis or peptic ulcers. It is also an effective remedy for diarrhoea triggered by parasites and infection.
It is also applied to small injuries and skin irritations as an antiseptic where it is used as a poultice. For mouth ulcers and infections it can applied directly.
The Hydrastis canadensis root is contraindicated for use by lactating and/ or pregnant women, people with high blood pressure, or those who suffer from chronic heartburn.


Things are going good here. My back is a bit sore. But other than that…I'm happy that I'm working on page 9 already.
Also. I've added new music to the Jukebox.
So sorry it took so long to update.
Oh…and some of you have asked that I document which songs I've had on the Jukebox in the past.
So…there's a post below that details that.
Other than that…everything is going great. I'm so happy to be working on Dreamland again. The boys get out of Kindergarden in a few weeks. And I'm starting to feel better.
What more could we ask for.
I hope you're all enjoying the story so far…and welcome to all of you new readers who've posted "hellos". I am so glad you found us and so glad you enjoyed Dreamland so far.
I thought it would be cool for you to see a close up of panel 2.
You can see Orion in the reflection of Alexander's armor. As well as the wierd image wrap of the sky (where the picture ends and starts repeating itself on the right). Ha ha.
It's cool…but now that I've shown you…I have to clean up that sky problem.
is it me, or is alex not being smart… not that he is super smart most days anyway…. geez….
I love Alex's expression in the last panel!
Step one in learning to fly: Get subject to convince himself that certain death if pushed off a cliff is improbable.
It seems to be working, though not quite the hitchhiker method.
correct me if I'm wrong but did you just give us an extreme close up of the texture seam on the centaur's headpiece?
Ok, so, let me guess, Alex is actually going to jump off, on his own!
Yes. That's the back of Orion's head piece in panels 1,2, and 4.
Oh geez. He's seen the Matrix too many times…!
Orion's going to shove him off just for being a smart-aleck. Waiting till Wednesday is going to be painful, isn't it?
Is he going to go all Vizzini on us?
Why would he bring him to the top of a giant cliff just to say, "If you jump off this cliff you will die"?
Actually this comes to an important point. Can people actually die in Dreamland? It's not exactly a common thing for a 6-year old kid to suddenly croak in their sleep.
Wow that reflection in the armor is so cool!
hehe…. I think he's going to Jump off the cliff to call the centaur's bluff and then force himself to either wake up before he hits the bottom, or fly.
I remember thinking that I must be dreaming, but even dreams couldn't be this real. I remember touching the tips of clouds amazed at how different they all feel.
I remember seeing the tops of trees and the surprisingly cool summer wind. I remember guiding snowflakes all the way to the ground on raise up and do it again.
I remember racing with eagles high above rocky plains. I remember swooping down with the seagulls trying to catch fish but it was all in vain.
I remember barely avoiding big branches when I decided I should chase the hawk. I remember the threatening glares I received when flying south and I tried to lead the flock.
I remember clearly understanding the metaphor, "having a bird's eye view," and laughing as the thought sunk in. I remember the horrible taste as I yawned and swallowed a bug caught in the wind.
I remember seeing stars that were so close I thought I could touch them, shining brightly in the darkened night. Yes I remember what it was like to fly, and again it's time for me to take flight.
The shine on the armor is awesome!
My forehead hurts from where I slapped it. Man, Alex can be really um… well… he takes things too literally sometimes.
My online friend got me hooked on this. Thank you for making such an amazing webcomic.
In the last panel, he looks like he's leaning backward a bit…watch out!
I'm guessing our very wise centuar friend is more patient, but I probably would push him off while telling him what I'd Actually wanted to do originally.
The thing that bothers me about this is Alex doesn't seem to be maturing as I think his character would be. He is going through a a lot of life and death scenarios. Additionally he is in love and his love is looking up to him – and she's a pretty smart and competent person. I would see him trying to be his best for her if no other reason. I just don't see him being able to maintain being a slacker realistically. I think he would be motivated to be more.
As I undersand what his nephew said, He can't fly if he's scared. So he has to be convinced that he won't die so he won't be scared enough to wet his pretty armor. Then with some imagination, he can fly. Second star to the left and straight on till morning.
You're right. This chapter tackles that issue. I promise.
Welcome back. Thank you for the wonderful Poem!
I love this comic so bad. Found it yesterday, read it to this point a second ago. Can't wait to get some more !
Hey Blaz, keeping in mind that in the "real world" Alex is still a college student! Take it for what its worth..
Scott I love this comic so much, I read alot of webcomics, ctrl+alt+del, penny arcade, dueling analogs, etc. but this is the only comic that truly makes me care for the characters as if they were real people. Nicole's realization of Felicity being taken from her as a child was heart wrenching but at the same time up lifting because she's finally starting to believe.
P.S. Alex is a little slow on the up take, but that's what makes him so lovable. As I said before, you keep up the amazing work and I'll keep reading and waiting for the next page.
Uh oh! Alex better not try to be thinkin he's going to be out smarting that 'wise old man' by jumping off himself.. :P!
Thank you both so much. Welcome to Dreamland….and thank you for reading and dropping by and saying hi.
So glad you both enjoyed the story so far.
I hope you continue to enjoy it as I get back to 5 days a week.
Erm, not to sound picky or anything, but what is sticking out of Orion's right arm in the third panel?
That's his staff. The one he's been holding. You're just seeing the back of it behind him.
Alex just has to remember that he is no longer in the real world, and that he can do anything that he might imagine. Well, not quite anything, but most things.
Oh goodness.. Alex, you just go on ahead thinking the whole world is out to get you – because it is, and you're falling for it hard.
If the wise guy pushed him off the cliff wouldn't his armor save him?
Yeah, so I'm guessin' he's not gonna be able to fly till his or Nastajia's life is in danger in the end of the big fight at the end of the series, as the cliche goes.
And aside from that, Great webcomic Scott! I'll pray for your back to heal!
Oops, I meant his right. It just looked as though something was intersecting the bicep there. About 75% to the right, and near the bottom. A plane or something, but it could just be the play of light from the background. I'm sorry.
I don't suppose Alexander is immortal..still in dreamland you never know just like you never know whether or not you are going to succeed with custom term papers cheap service.

Production

Genèse et développement
À l'époque de la série originale, les avocats de William Shatner et Leonard Nimoy obtiennent ce que William Shatner appelle une « clause de la nation la plus favorisée » qui signifie que tout ce que Shatner obtient sera identique à ce qu'aura Nimoy. Ainsi, alors que Leonard Nimoy a réalisé les deux précédents films, Star Trek 3 : À la recherche de Spock et Star Trek 4 : Retour sur Terre, William Shatner parvient à obtenir le poste de réalisateur du nouveau film en projet.

Avant même d'être officiellement réalisateur, William Shatner imagine une histoire inspirée du télévangélisme, qu'il juge repoussant mais malgré tout absolument fascinant. Il est également intrigué par ces personnes qui pensent que Dieu leur parle directement. Cela lui inspire alors le personnage de Zar (rebaptisé plus tard Sybok). La première ébauche de William Shatner s'intitule An Act of Love et contient déjà des éléments du script final : la permission au parc national de Yosemite, les otages et la planète ravagée Paradise. William Shatner en parle à Frank Mancuso, président de l'époque de Paramount Pictures durant le tournage de Star Trek 4 : Retour sur Terre. Ce dernier est séduit par l'idée et le charge d'écrire une ébauche de scénario. Shatner souhaite alors la collaboration de l'écrivain Eric Van Lustbader mais ce dernier demande un salaire trop élevé. Il tente alors de convaincre Harve Bennett de l'aider, mais le producteur-scénariste est déçu des précédents films et songe à quitter la saga. Harve Bennett accepte finalement et explique à William Shatner que son histoire est plus un poème symphonique qu'un film d'aventure. Le studio est également du même avis et pense que le sujet peut être offensant pour certains spectateurs.

Harve Bennett et William Shatner retravaillent donc ensemble l'histoire. Ils décident de faire les révélations sur les véritables motivations de Sybok plus tard dans le récit. Ils modifient également l'entité « Dieu » pour en faire un extra-terrestre qui prétend être Dieu. Satisfaits de leurs réajustements et après validation par la Paramount, Shatner et Bennett contactent le réalisateur-scénariste de Star Trek 2 : La Colère de Khan Nicholas Meyer pour mettre en forme leur histoire et écrire le scénario. Mais il n'est pas disponible. Harve Bennett montre ensuite le travail de David Loughery à Shatner, qui pense qu'il pourrait écrire le script.

L'histoire ne fait cependant pas l'unanimité. Gene Roddenberry s'oppose à l'idée même que les personnages recherchent Dieu. Alors que plusieurs avis divergent, David Loughery est bloqué dans son travail par une grève de la Writers Guild of America. De plus, Leonard Nimoy s'est lancé sur un autre projet. Pendant cette pause, William Shatner retravaille des éléments de l'histoire : il fait du personnage de Sybok quelqu'un de plus sympathique. Lorsque la grève des scénaristes prend fin, David Loughery se remet au travail, alors que William Shatner est parti dans l'Himalaya. À son retour, William Shatner découvre les révisions de David Loughery : il a transformé la recherche de Dieu en une recherche d'une planète paradis mythique appelée Sha Ka Ree (un jeu de mots pour Sean Connery, que certains souhaitaient pour incarner Sybok). William Shatner n'est pas très content des modifications et tente de convaincre Bennett et Loughery de les changer. Alors que Sha Ka Ree est conservée, elle est changée en un lieu de « toute connaissance » dont Sybok a eu des visions. Le script est ensuite réécrit pour correspondre aux attentes de Leonard Nimoy et DeForest Kelley.

Après que le scénario soit approuvé par Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley et Gene Roddenberry, la Paramount pense que le film coûtera trop cher et ordonne des réécritures. Ainsi, alors que des anges et démons devaient surgir à la fin du film sur Sha Ka Ree, ce sont finalement de simples pierres qui surgissent du sol. William Shatner souhaitait n'en conserver que 6 mais le studio refuse.

Attribution des rôles

Alors que l'équipe souhaite Sean Connery, Max von Sydow est pressenti pour le rôle de Sybok. Laurence Luckinbill l'incarne finalement dans le film.

George Takei ne voulait pas reprendre son rôle de Hikaru Sulu car il s'était querellé avec William Shatner. Mais il s'est finalement laissé convaincre.

Kim Cattrall a auditionné pour incarner la Klingon Vixis. Elle incarnera finalement le lieutenant Valeris dans le film suivant, Star Trek 6 : Terre inconnue.

Tournage

Le tournage débute le  autour de Los Angeles. Le début du tournage est perturbé par une grève du syndicat hollywoodien des chauffeurs de poids-lourd. La production engage alors des chauffeurs non-syndiqués mais ils subissent le sabotage des syndiqués : un camion est même détruit. L'équipe se rend alors au parc national de Yosemite sous escorte policière. Les scènes d'introduction sont toutes tournées au Yosemite. Pour la plupart des scènes d'escalade de Kirk, William Shatner est doublé par des cascadeurs.

Après le tournage à Yosemite, l'équipe se rend dans le désert des Mojaves pour tourner les scènes sur la planète Nimbus III et sa ville Paradise City. Le tournage y est très dur en raison d'une température d'environ 43 °C. William Shatner craque et insulte un technicien durant une scène. Après quelques autres incidents, le tournage se poursuit dans le désert pendant 3 semaines.

Le tournage se poursuit ensuite aux Paramount Studios à Los Angeles, pour les intérieurs de plusieurs séquences (l'Enterprise, Paradise City, le feu de camps, etc.). Toute l'équipe fête la fin du tournage dans les studios durant la dernière semaine de  et donne une conférence de presse sur le plateau du pont de l'Enterprise le .

Musique

Jerry Goldsmith compose à nouveau la musique d'un film Star Trek, après Star Trek, le film. Il reviendra quelques années plus tard pour la bande originale de Star Trek : Premier Contact. Outre les compositions de Jerry Goldsmith, on peut entendre The Moon's a Window to Heaven du groupe Hiroshima ainsi que la chanson enfantine Row, Row, Row Your Boat chantée par Kirk et McCoy.

En 2010, le label La-La Land Records commercialise un double album limité à  exemplaires. Cette version contient la bande originale complète sur le  et l'album original de 1989 (agrémenté de quelques bonus) sur le disque 2.

On the road to sustainable healthcare
16 Jan On the road to sustainable healthcare
Posted at 14:36h in Denmark, interview by Author CR_1
Darine Ghanem, General Manager, Roche Pharmaceuticals, talks about the company's contributions to healthcare sectors in Denmark and the world and the importance of collaboration when tackling new challenges society is facing.
Can you give us an overview of your Roche Denmark's operations?
Last year, Roche celebrated its 125th anniversary. It is a family company that invests in innovation and research and development in many areas of healthcare, from cancer to ophthalmology, neuroscience, rheumatoid arthritis and infectious diseases. What is unique about Roche Denmark is that our approach covers the entire value chain. After the acquisition of Santaris Pharma in 2014, Roche Innovation Center Copenhagen (RICC) was founded as one of Roche's seven innovation centers across the world. RICC focuses on advancement in ribonucleic acid technology. Roche Diagnostics is focusing on accelerating the use of diagnostics for early diagnoses, prevention, early support and better patient care. Roche Pharmaceuticals looks at treatments with our more than 16,000 patients that have severe and life-threatening diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and cancer. Between 2017 and 2021, we introduced more than 15 plus new innovative treatments to Danish patients in our pharmaceutical portfolio. In 2019, Roche Denmark contributed $244 million to the Danish gross domestic product and supplied 2,800 jobs. For every Danish krone spent through guided contribution, we generate more than three times that towards the Danish economy.
What shifts in focus does your new 2030 strategy take?
We designed our 2030 strategy around doubling our medical advances and investment in research and development. We are proud to have one of the most robust and promising pipelines in the industry. We contribute to sustainable healthcare by providing two to five times more patient benefits at half the cost. We can no longer take isolated approaches of diagnostics separately from treatments. We need to create a more personalized healthcare approach, understand the type of data essential for us in understanding diseases and better diagnose patients. We need to give them the right treatment supported by the right data at the right time. Our strategy has shifted towards taking patient-journey and disease-lens approaches versus a product approach. We are partnering with the healthcare sector to solve common challenges; we cannot do this alone. We have partnerships with all universities in Denmark. We see universities as a center of building the future workforce; we invest a lot in these partnerships to cross fertilize the talent and expertise we need. We also announced a partnership with Rigshospitalet before the end of 2021 to build the next generation of diagnostics. It is focused on innovation in diagnostic labs. We are tackling partnerships from different angles, all directed towards the challenges society and healthcare face.
Additionally, sustainability is critical in our goals as an organization. We are looking to transform through new and agile ways of working. As part of reducing our carbon footprint, we introduced new approaches to reducing travel through digitalization and introducing new policies around cars, such as moving towards electric vehicles or having car-free sites. We are focused on what we call our five Ps: patients, partnerships, people, planet and prosperity.
How significant is Denmark's life sciences sector?
Between 2008 and 2020, total exports of life science goods from Denmark increased 182 percent. In 2020, the total exports of life science goods were worth $23 billion, equal to 21.5 percent of the total exports of goods. In 2018, the life sciences industry invested over $2.44 billion in research and development in Denmark, which represents approximately 35 percent of the private sector's investment in research and development in Denmark. In the last few years, the number of employees has increased by more than 23 percent. Denmark is one of the most important countries in running our clinical trials. We run our phase one, two and three clinical trials across oncology and all the new therapeutic areas. Denmark hosts the most clinical trials per capita in the world. In 2021, Denmark was one of the most research and development intensive countries in the world and is continuously one of the best in Europe regarding researcher concentration. In terms of research and development, we consider Denmark as a core country for us.
The government has put an emphasis on prioritizing the development of the life science industry. In 2021, the government launched an ambitious life science strategy, including 38 specific and tangible projects partnered across different sectors that will ultimately enable the right investments towards sustainable healthcare. The state also invested more than $41 million for better framework conditions along the entire value chain of the industry. Besides fostering collaboration between universities and the small and medium-sized life science startups and enterprises, it aims to attract foreign investments and skilled talent to support export of Danish life science goods and services. It will ensure that the Danish healthcare sector becomes a showroom for advanced health services and innovative diagnostics solutions. Their ambition is to transform the life science industry into one of the most prosperous industries in Denmark. The life science sector plays a significant role in Danish healthcare and—most importantly—for Danish patients.
How has the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted important areas in the global healthcare system?
We have faced three years of staggering demographics, with increased burden of disease leading to budget constraints. We need to rethink how we are organizing our healthcare sector and act on it. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided valuable learnings in terms of the power of the collective and the joining the public and private sectors in Denmark and the world. We have been able to sort through things together to accelerate access to innovation and how we fight pandemics and chronic diseases. These issues will be increasingly prevalent as we become older and live longer; chronic diseases will be a crucial challenge to overcome from a societal perspective.
Raising awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and early testing is essential not only for COVID-19 but for all chronic diseases. The biggest challenge we face is that we are treating diseases late, which generates heightened costs. The investments we have made as an organization in the diagnostic space are being put towards being more precise through earlier and more advanced diagnostics in infectious diseases, such as with COVID-19 and the flu, and in oncology and neuroscience. These diseases do not disappear. If you cannot detect and prevent them early, we will not be able to act on them early enough to have a healthier economy.
Roche believes that developing a more sustainable healthcare sector depends on public-private partnerships. The life science strategy in Denmark is a solid example of such partnerships. There has been a concerted effort between public and private entities to agree on a strategy and implement it. The government is quite supportive. The creation of the Life Science Council at the end of 2021 was a testimony of the state's awareness that we need to collaborate. Achievements made during the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the importance of accelerated partnered action. In joining forces, we can drive towards a vision based on prevention, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
How can Denmark fine tune its robust healthcare data to advance healthcare practices?
Denmark is highly advanced in data and digitalization, and it is important we enable better use of our data in informing healthcare decisions and accelerating innovation. With the pandemic, we saw large differentiations between countries that did not have data and digital infrastructure and countries that did. Solid access to data, access to new testing early on and updated diagnostics are crucial in building a more personalized and sustainable healthcare system. A lot of research and development failures happen because we do not yet understand diseases. We are working on different technologies and new modalities, be it ribonucleic acid technology or gene therapy. We are trying to achieve a better understanding of diseases and the unknown. For example, genomics can help us better understand the makeup of cancer and which treatments benefit which patients. We are taking a similar approach across the entire disease arena. Understanding types of data, whether it be imaging, genomics, proteomics or microbiomics data, is essential for us to better understand diseases. We are involved in the lighthouse initiative One Stop Shop for Clinical Research project that involves working through public-private partnerships to explore how we can create value by accessing and using our unique Danish health data. I am passionate about the potential we have in Denmark. It is a country that has the foundations to move towards sustainable healthcare. I see Denmark being a lighthouse for innovation for Europe and other countries. We have a unique opportunity to realize our ambitions by partnering together and learning, failing and scaling fast. We need to invest in health and collaborate to build sustainable societies and economies.

Defence Note:
Academic Dissertation to be presented with the assent of the Faculty of Science, University of Oulu, for public discussion in Auditorium L10 (Raahensali), on February 10th, 2006, at 12 o'clock noon.

Professor Roderick Wasylishen
The present thesis describes the development of a novel method, referred to as xenon porometry, for the determination of the structural properties of porous materials by means of xenon NMR spectroscopy. The method exploits the high sensitivity of the chemical shift of the ¹²⁹Xe isotope to its local environment. The purpose of the medium added to the sample is to slow down the diffusion of xenon so that the NMR signal of a xenon atom is characteristic of the properties of one pore, and the signals of all the atoms in the sample represent the distribution of the properties.
Two types of porous materials (controlled pore glasses and silica gels) with well-known properties and three different media (acetonitrile, cyclohexane, and naphthalene) were used in the studies. The behavior of the medium and dissolved xenon at different temperatures around the melting point of the medium was explained. By varying the pore size of the material, three different correlations that make it possible to measure the pore sizes of unknown materials were experimentally determined. The chemical shift of xenon inside pockets built up in the pores during solidification of the medium turned out to be especially sensitive to pore size, and this correlation makes it possible to determine the pore size distribution. The curious behavior of the chemical shift as a function of pore size was explained by using a model based on the fast exchange between xenon adsorbed on the walls of the pockets and free xenon in the middle of the pockets. It was also proved that the porosity of the materials can be determined by comparing the intensities of two signals originating from xenon dissolved in a liquid medium.
A comparison of the xenon porometry method with other methods used for pore size characterization leads to the following conclusions: The range of applications of the method is relatively wide, the measurements are fast and easy to do, the analysis of the spectra is simple on the basis of the information presented in this thesis, and the properties of the materials can be extracted from the spectral data with basic mathematical conversions. Because there are several different types of correlations available in the same spectra that represent the properties of the porous material, the complementary information of all the correlations make it possible to obtain a picture of the structures of very complex systems.

The Delusions of Von Sottendorff and his Square Mind Review - An insane puzzle platformer
An interesting and weird puzzle platformer ruined by infuriating camera controls and repetitiveness.
by Damien Smith
Baron Von Sottendorff is insane, believing he is trapped in a grid drawing of his mansion. For the Baron to escape his entrapment, he must recall his memories from childhood up to adulthood. Only then will be he able regain control over his mind and be free from the prison that is his insanity.
The Delusions of Von Sottendorff and his Square Mind is a puzzle platformer developed and published by Delirium Studios, released exclusively on 3DS December 17th, 2015. The game has interesting ideas and puzzle mechanic. However, it also has camera control issues that are infuriating. The gameplay also gets very repetitive and offers only a little increase in challenge as the game progresses.
An Insane yet sad story.
The story of The Delusions of Von Sottendorff follows the Baron in his attempts to regain his memories. The Baron's mind has hidden his memories away from him to protect him from his tragic past. His insane mind informs the narrative throughout the levels, relaying it through pictures of memories. The crazed narration can at times make little sense, but as the game progresses, it all begins to come together. The narration of the Baron's mind leads to some moments that makes the player laugh throughout the game.
He is an interesting and strange character both mentally and physically. His character is like that of a child who never grew up. He dresses in adult clothing, yet like a child, can not dress appropriately.
The Baron runs with his back slightly arched backward while his arms flail behind him. He is a character that you can't help but love for his childish and bizarre ways and sympathize with due to his tragic past. Despite the Baron being a tragic figure, the story has its happy moments. It is a well-written tale that unfortunately just falls short right at the end.
Like so many other modern games, The Delusions of Von Sottendorff ends abruptly without giving any real closure. The story ends on a strange note that feels wrong for the tone of the game and the Baron's character.
The game has this childish yet innocent tone to it yet the ending felt a dark, sinister and out of place.
Interesting puzzle mechanic but terrible platforming
The game contains a total of forty levels split across a total of eight chapters. Each chapter represents a specific memory of an event in the Baron's life, starting from the earliest as a child. Each level contains a key and a puzzle piece that the player must collect to complete it. The key unlocks the exit while the puzzle piece contains one of the pieces to the memory of that particular chapter.
Once all the levels of a chapter are finished the last puzzle piece is put into place, showing a complete picture of that individual memory. A cutscene then begins telling the story of that particular memory.
The primary puzzle mechanic for the game is the ability to move the rooms contained within each level. To find the key and puzzle piece on each level, the player must move the rooms, which will allow them to access areas of the level that would be otherwise inaccessible. This idea may not be unique to this game; there is a similar mechanic in Kraven Manor. In The Delusions of Von Sottendorff, however, it is done extremely well and is an enjoyable, entertaining and at times brainteasing mechanic.
The enjoyment players receive from the puzzle mechanic is ruined by the infuriating platforming. The issue with the platforming comes from the awful camera controls. The game is viewed as if looking into a room in a doll house through a window.
This point of view means, just like looking through a window, the camera can only move a certain amount, approximately 20-25 degrees. These camera controls stop the player from being able to view an area in full. At times it forces the player to make leaps of faith, hoping to land on the platform they need to.
More often than not, it causes the player to miss the platform and fall, forcing them to got back to where they were. The backtracking can at times consist of moving and traversing several rooms just to get back to that area. Attempting a forced leap of faith can fail several times, causing extreme frustration that ruins the experience. When missing platforms and falling leads to instant death, it only makes things worse.
When a room contains two floors, moving the camera can block off the view completely. The camera focuses on the platform that separates the two floors, making it impossible to navigate. This camera issue often forces the player to use an awkward point of view that blocks their line of sight. The issue also causes problems with enemies. Enemies are often off the screen and catch the player off guard leading to instant death and increased frustration.
Repetitive standard platforming that lacks challenge.
The general gameplay of The Delusions of Von Sottendorff is what you would find in any standard platform game. Traverse each level by jumping from platform to platform, jumping on enemies heads, pulling levers and activating pressure pads. The only difference is that The Delusions of Von Sottendorff has the Baron's trumpet that the player can use.
Players use it for two different things. Certain enemies can be defeated using it, and it is also used to reveal invisible platforms used to reach areas that would otherwise be unreachable. The player can use it up to a total of nine times. Throughout each level there are chests that the player can open, some containing extra lives while others hold trumpets for additional use.
The player must complete certain levels within a time frame, generally three and a half or seven minutes depending on size. These particular levels are more platforming than puzzle solving and can lead to a lot of frustration due to the platforming issues.
There is nothing to keep the game fresh across the forty levels. The gameplay stays mostly the same from start to finish adding in occasionally something new that kills the player. Despite each chapter having new enemies and environments, the gameplay for each does not change.
The difficulty of the game doesn't increase that much throughout, causing the game to lack challenge. Despite levels containing more rooms and obstacles as the game progresses, there is no real difficulty increase. The levels are just that little bit longer and require more moving of rooms.
The only time the game got somewhat challenging was in the final chapter where rooms got considerably more complicated and difficult to piece together.
Getting to the final chapter in the game, however, is a challenge in itself due to how repetitive it becomes half way through.
A reason to seek and collect
There are a lot of games out there that add in collectibles for no reason other than for them to be an additional task for the player to complete. In The Delusions of Von Sottendorff, there is an actual reason to find all the collectibles it has to offer.
Each level contains a total of five photos called memories. Collecting them allows the player to unlock artwork, music tracks and the game's cutscenes in the Extras menu. Each type of unlockable costs a certain amount of memories. Once unlocked, the unlockable is free to view at any time through the menu.
Reasonable visuals and soundtrack create a beautiful atmosphere.
The visuals for the game are certainly reasonable. They are not groundbreaking in any shape or form but certainly not a complete eyesore. The Delusions of Von Sottendorff is a colorful game, full of detailed environments that fit in with the general atmosphere of a memory.
The memories of the Baron's youth are often vibrant in color with a lighter soundtrack while the tragic memories have gloomy and dark environments with a sad or creepy soundtrack. The new environments and soundtrack for each chapter do help while playing the game. Unfortunately with the issues of the gameplay they aren't enough to make the experience a fun one.
The models of enemies are also reasonable. Just like the environments, they are not groundbreaking in any way. They do fit in well with the wacky world that is the Baron's mind, and the changing of enemies in each chapter is indeed welcoming.
The animations of the enemies I feel are a bit stiff but never the less adequate. The issue with having the detailed environments along with enemies is that the game suffers from frame rate issues. Frame rate drops occur when there is a lot on screen at once. The frame drops happen when the camera zooms out more than at any other point.
A game to love and hate all at once.
The Delusions of Von Sottendorff is a game that has some great ideas and creativity. It suffers from repetitive gameplay, lacks challenge for the most part and requires polish. The general puzzle mechanic is clever and well integrated, but the platforming of the game requires some redesign. The biggest downfall this game has is certainly the camera issues and the problems it causes with platforming.
The story is well written and interesting but lacks closure and ends with an odd tone. The visuals, soundtrack, and environments are good, but the environment detail causes slow downs and enemy model animation is slightly stiff. The Delusions of Von Sottendorff is one of those games that for every good feature it has there is a feature equally as bad.
It is unfortunate that the game has such problems. Without the issues, this would have been a fantastic game scoring far higher than it is. With them, however, it turns it into nothing more than an average at best game. The Delusions of Von Sottendorff I feel is not worth the €12.99 price tag it carries, at least in its current state. If you would still like to give the game a try, I would suggest waiting until it goes down in price during a sale.
The Delusions of Von Sottendorff and his Square Mind is available to buy exclusively on the Nintendo e-Shop for €12.99.

Senate Finance Committee Bill that Repeals Oil and Natural Gas Tax Provisions Moves Forward
Today the Senate Committee on Finance held a hearing to discuss Chairman Ron Wyden's 'Clean Energy for America Act.' The sweeping energy tax legislation includes over 30 billion dollars in tax incentives for elective vehicles, AND contains the repeal of multiple oil and natural gas industry tax provisions including Intangible Drilling Costs and Percentage Depletion. In the final vote following debate on amendments, the bill received an even 14-14 party line result. Under the power-sharing deal struck between party leaders earlier this year, the full Senate is supposed to debate and vote to discharge bills from committees after deadlocked votes. But Wyden said at the conclusion of the 4 ½-hour markup that he will introduce the amended chair's mark as new legislation and work to have it placed directly on the Senate calendar under a rule that allows legislation to bypass the committees process.
Barry Russell, IPAA President and CEO said of the Clean Energy for America Act, "The Democrat bill considered by the Senate Finance Committee today demonstrates an unjustified bias against American oil and natural gas that imperils future energy security. The provisions of this bill that repeal an array of oil and natural gas tax deductions were written solely to undermine American production. They target small businesses; they target the 12 million royalty owners who rely on their oil and natural gas income for their farms, ranches, and retirement; they will not reduce American reliance on oil and natural gas for two-thirds of its energy but return the nation to reliance of foreign energy supply."
In the hearing, Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) described his amendment which would leave the Intangible Drilling Cost deduction intact. Watch him explain how IDCs are ordinary, necessary business expenses here. His amendment ultimately failed with a 14-14 vote.Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) decried the process committee Democrats have taken with the bill. He said, "I do not consider this bill to be in good faith. This is a full-frontal assault on my state. This is a full-frontal assault on consumers who will pay more…" (watch here)

Q: Product manifolds and exterior derivative with interior product While studying differential geometry, I read this part of a proof and I didn't understand it. Given a $2$-manifold $\Omega$ and an interval $I=(-\epsilon, \epsilon)$, consider the cartesian product $M=\Omega\times I$. The exterior derivative on the algebra of differential forms on $M$ splits in this way: $d=d_{\Omega} + d_{I}$, where $d_{\Omega}$ and $d_{I}$ are respectively the exterior derivatives on $\Omega$ and $I$, and, called $t$ the real coordinate on $I$, we have that $d_I=dt*i(\partial/\partial t)$, where $i(\partial/\partial t)$ indicates the interior product with the vector field $\partial/\partial t$ and $*$ indicates the wedge product.
Why does the exterior derivative in $M$ split in that way? Then, the exterior derivative should $k$-forms into $k+1$-forms, but it doesn't seem to hold for $d_I$, if we define it like above.

Road to 2023: Pro-Osinbajo group seeks Emir of Ilorin's support
in Elections, National, Politics
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
From Layi Olanrewaju, Ilorin
Members of the National Coalition Group (NCG) were in Ilorin, Kwara State on Wednesday to seek the support of the Emir of Ilorin, Alh Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, for the presidential ambition of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The leader of the group, Dr Eli Dibia, requested the Emir to help canvass for emergence of someone who will be president for all Nigerians come 2023.
"We are in Ilorin to Seek the Emir's support for Osinbajo. Emir should help canvas for a president that will be for all Nigerians, who will build on legacies of President Buhari," he stated.
Dibia insisted that the vice president remains the best presidential candidate that the All Progressives Congress (APC) can field for the 2023 presidential elections.
Warning the APC leadership against fielding a wrong candidate for the elections, Dibia posited that:"The only person that the opposition is afraid of is Osinbajo. If we make the mistake of not fielding appropriate candidate, APC may lose to the opposition.
Eulogising Osinbajo's leadership qualities, the team leader pointed out that the vice presidentdrafted the legal frame work for the development of Lagos.
"He (Osinbajo) understands the economy. He has the capacity to serve Nigerians. He's a loyal VP. We want a servant president," he added
Responding, the Emir of Ilorin, Alh Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari prayed God to grant the country a peaceful transition in 2023.
While acknowledging the federal government's efforts at curtailing various security challenges confronting the country, the monarch prayed for the restoration of peace to all the nook and crannies of the country.

The hosts ended their last match against Newport CO with goalless spoils last weekend. Their last five games overall ended with three wins where two kept a clean sheet, one loss, and one draw.
Tranmere are fifth-placed with three points below the fourth-placed Bury.
On the road, they have a very impressive form overall, having won all their last five games in all competition and keeping a clean sheet in four of the matches. In this season, they have thirteen wins, four draws, and four losses after playing twenty games in front of their fans.
The guests, on the other hand, are third-placed in the table with tied points to the second-placed Mansfield and they must be hoping to overthrow them after their match this weekend.
On the road, MK Dons are with eight victories, five draws, and seven losses after playing twenty matches. In all competitions, they have only one loss in their last five away games among four wins.
Although the hosts lost their last match to Lincoln last weekend where they failed to score, they have a chance to redeem themselves on the road coming weekend.

HOW ALTERNATIVE VIEWS ON FOOD SYSTEMS LEAD TO DIFFERENT FOOD POLICIES
by Inge D. Brouwer, John McDermott, and Ruerd Ruben | October 16, 2020
When it comes to working on improving food and nutrition security in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), analytical approaches are constantly evolving and policy recommendations strongly vary. Whereas 'food systems' thinking seems to be generally embraced, its on-the-ground analyses appear to be guided by quite different perspectives. To guarantee the practical relevance of food systems analyses it is of vital importance to maintain a sharp focus on the root causes of malnutrition in all its forms around the world, as well as on the environmental boundaries for a sustainable food supply and the requirement of equitable access to nutritious diets by vulnerable people.
The emergence of food system thinking
For quite some time, we paid intense but siloed attention to individual components of food systems and the strategies for reaching single goals. Initial attention has been focused on improving production systems, asking what could be done to maximize output of grains, vegetables and fish towards a more stable supply of food and food energy. Hereafter, new studies started to look at value chains, in order to better understand how rice, pork or tomatoes moved from "farm to fork" and farmers could be connected to markets. With the increasing influence of climate change, attention was focused on strategies for sustainable resource management and more resilient food systems. We learned a lot from these approaches, but it didn't solve the problem: undernutrition has persisted, while we're seeing worrying trends in many parts of the world as rates of overweight and obesity climb.
In recent decades, and particularly in the last ten years, the conversation among researchers, development partners, program implementers and policy makers has moved from supply-side approach that prioritize food production and value chains to food systems thinking that starts from a consumer-led principles. Looking at the entire food system rather than just individual pieces of it, enables us to understand the relationships between external drivers, food supply and demand components, and markets and incentives that shape the enabling food environment influencing consumer choices. Such an approach tries to make explicit the trade-offs between different socio-economic, environmental and distributional objectives (nutrition, resilience, equity) of food system innovations that result from the complex interactions between food producers, traders, consumers and government.
Consensus and Confusion
While taking a food systems approach has been an improvement in many ways, there remains a wide and conflicting range of interpretations about what a food system is, how the components are defined, and where the major leverage points of emphasis can be found. Since its release in 2017, a growing consensus has developed around the Committee on World Food Security's High-Level Panel of Experts' (HLPE) food systems framework, which defines and shows important interactions between food systems drivers, components, and outcomes. Yet there still exists much debate around operational definitions of key terms and interactions among framework components, which creates confusion among actors regarding focus, relationships, interventions, and policy actions.
To understand the scope of this fragmentation, we recently undertook a comprehensive analysis of some 32 recent, highly cited international reports on food systems. We tried to uncover differences and similarities in characterizations and definitions used, outlining how this leads to diverging views on the dynamics of food system change, and identifying what implications these differences have for global policy, local actions, and recommended interventions.
Drawing on the HLPE framework, we mapped these reports according to their attention to the framework components and their focus on three outcome areas: nutrition and health, sustainability and resilience, and inclusion and equity. We found the reports could be categorized into four basic archetypes of food systems analysis, reflecting divergence on key system properties and transition pathways:
Supply-oriented analyses, which focus largely on food production and sufficient long-term availability;
Midstream-oriented analyses, which look at markets and institutions at the intersection between production and consumption;
Demand-oriented analyses, which focus on diets and consumer demand; and
System-oriented analyses, which center on governance, responsiveness, and adaptability.
Analytical variance and policy divergence
We found 20 of these 32 recent reports focus on the first two archetypes, while only five look at consumer demand and nutrition outcomes. In general terms, tradeoffs between food systems outcomes are generally overlooked and most studies focus on single goals. While almost all of them pay attention to sustainability outcomes, about half look at equity or nutrition, and only four explicitly make the connection between nutrition and health.
This mapping reveals a great deal about what the focus of food systems research and analysis has been, but perhaps even more important it reveals that interlinkages between food system components are generally neglected (just two reports cover all four categories, and only another three look at three of the four categories). Focusing on specific parts of the system will result in different strategies and policy recommendations, and the lack of analysis across archetypes keeps us from being able to understand how to address tradeoffs that will invariably arise. Further analysis into the reports revealed how the approaches, strategies, and solutions vary among the archetypes.
High variance in these analyses leads to large differences in recommendations for policies and incentives to improve food systems performance and focus on how systems need to transform. This divergence is problematic in several areas, leaving analysts unable to (a) agree upon primary interactions that drive governance of change, (b) determine how to deal with conflicting objectives, and (c) identify system's leverage points. Without consensus in these areas, policy makers will keep struggling to determine where food systems transformations are needed and how these changes can be set in motion.
While many have adopted a food systems view, our analysis shows that in practice the focus on primary production and markets still prevails, which limits understanding of the role of consumer preferences and the opportunities for public policy and private sector innovation. Consequently, better-oriented food transformation policies should consider issues of demands, tradeoffs, and issues of power and inclusion. While food systems have been addressed from many discrete angles, the challenge before us is to bring this learning together, to assess potential synergies, identify joint priorities, and enable stakeholders to take action that will transform our food systems to become more sustainable, healthy, and equitable.

The use of natural materials like stones, marbles, sand, clay etc for building homes have been long practiced by mankind. Even today, we look to natural resources to meet our demands for the best building materials. The only difference today is that these raw materials for building come processed and in a much more polished form. Talking about tiles, even the cave men used flat stones to make the walls of their cave floors. Humans have always found out new ways to work on their needs for comfort, luxury and profits. Modern tile materials too support the above needs and much more.

The goal of every business is to expand, but that growth often means that locations can surpass their peak capacity. When this problem presents itself, it is usually best to avoid potentially alienating or losing customers and build out the current structure to match the new needs. Retail locations, office buildings, warehouses and restaurants must decide which build out companies provide the best set of skills and experience. Furthermore, they need to trust that the build out will last long after the construction crew packs up their equipment. To put these decision-makers at ease, the National Maintenance and Build Out Company (NMBOC) announces its 13-month warranty on all of the work they perform.

Con Daily was worth more than $10,000, he reportedly made $10,100 in his career playing baseball.
I assume Sam Crane might have under, or over, estimated some of the player's net worth. Also, he was talking about net worth, and not gross salary, because in the case of total earnings, almost every player mentioned would have earned more throughout the course of their career than Crane estimate as their net worth in 1894. Thanks.
This was a really great, interesting post…thanks for sharing.
Thanks Gary…sorry about the A's.
