Porsche 911 Turbo: Subaru Baja, Chrysler PT Cruiser LE
By THE EDITORS OF AUTOWEEK
ENGINE: 3.6-liter twin-turbo H6, 420 hp, 412 lb-ft
CURB WEIGHT: 3395 lbs
DRIVETRAIN: awd, six-speed manual
It never fails. No matter how many times you've seen one, you can't help but stare. The 911 Turbo is not only a thing of beauty, but the power it exudes-even at a standstill, from the sheer knowledge of what it can do-inspires awe. And what it can do, go fast, brake faster and turn every winding road into a roller-coaster ride, it does better than just about anything on the planet. Part of the reason we love it so much is that Porsche allows you to drive it hard and doesn't let its Porsche Stability Management system take over the steering wheel, so to speak, just because the tires-big, fat, meaty P295/30R-18s-break loose now and again. Truly the king of the road.
ENGINE: 2.5-liter I4, 165 hp, 166 lb-ft
DRIVETRAIN: awd, five-speed manual
It's been 15 years since the last Subie car-cum-pickup rolled off showroom floors and into the hearts and garages of the alternative-minded. The Brat had a small but loyal following, and nostalgia for the little vehicle must have welled deep enough for Subaru to respond with this 21st century version, the Baja. With as many stares as we got in it, we think Subaru might've hit on something. Or maybe it was the Baja's rally lights, banana-yellow paint and Close Encounters plastic cladding. In either case, the Baja is a smooth perform-er, if a bit underpowered, with Subaru's wonderful awd system keeping things on the straight and narrow. The bed features a flip-out cage over the tailgate and a pass-through into the cabin. And unlike the Brat, the Baja has room for four.
DRIVETRAIN: fwd, four-speed automatic
Chrysler PT CRUISER LE
Unlike those fake-o woody PTs you've seen peppering the streets these last couple of years, with the sticky, decal wood grain applied by the same shop that puts vinyl tops on Sables and Sevilles, this here's the real deal. Okay, so it's still a decal, but at least it's a factory-direct decal. And when's the last time anyone made a real woody, anyway? Regardless, people seem to really like the woody PT, to be charmed by it, to want to block your exit from gas stations so they can ask questions about it. Must have something to do with nostalgia over Vista Cruisers and Road-masters of yore. And yet no matter how hideous-or beautiful, depending on your bent-the exterior of the woody PT is, it still offers one of the most convenient, useful packages in a small vehicle today.
Awwww, isn't that cute? People flock when they see the Mini Cooper S, and assume that goo-goo-ga-ga voice usually reserved for babies. Somehow, though, it doesn't get annoying. Okay, it might after a while, but it hasn't yet. In fact, we still find ourselves making little kid sounds with it, like "weeeeeeeeeeee!" when we get its little 163-horsepower supercharged motor revving, and "eeeeerrrrrkkkk!" (that's supposed to sound like skidding) as we throw it, rally car-like, around every corner we can.

Q: SQL Merge rows instead of UNION ALL I'm doing a UNION ALL to get the results as shows in the table below. This approach is causing to have unnecessary rows. The three columns DESK, SEGMENT and SUPERVISOR are independent and have no relationship.
Code
SELECT ID, DESK, '' as SEGMENT, '' as SUPERVISOR FROM myTable1
UNION ALL
SELECT ID, '' AS DESK, SEGMENT, '' as SUPERVISOR FROM myTable2
UNION ALL
SELECT ID, '' AS DESK, '' as SEGMENT, SUPERVISOR FROM myTable3

A: You can use ROW_NUMBER() analytic function with partitioned by ID column along with FULL OUTER JOIN for those three tables like this :
SELECT NVL(NVL(t2.ID,t3.ID),t1.ID) AS ID, desk, segment, supervisor
  FROM ( SELECT t1.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY 0) AS rn FROM myTable1 t1 ) t1
  FULL JOIN ( SELECT t2.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY 0) AS rn FROM myTable2 t2 ) t2
    ON t2.ID = t1.ID AND t2.rn = t1.rn
  FULL JOIN ( SELECT t3.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY 0) AS rn FROM myTable3 t3 ) t3
    ON t3.ID = t1.ID AND t3.rn = t1.rn;

ID   DESK        SEGMENT  SUPERVISOR
---- ----------  -------  ----------
4782 AUTOMOTIVE  GLOBAL   JAMES
4782 OIL & GAS            DANIEL

Demo
P.S: I left ORDER BY 0 as ORDER BY option is mandatory for ROW_NUMBER(), you can replace zero with a proper column or identifier for you.

A: You can try this:
SELECT table1.ID, table1.DESK, table2.SEGMENT, (select SUPERVISOR from (select SUPERVISOR, ROWNUM AS RN FROM table3) WHERE RN = 1) SUPERVISOR
FROM table1 JOIN table2 on table1.ID = table2.ID
WHERE table1.DESK = 'OIL & GAS'
UNION ALL
SELECT table1.ID, table1.DESK, null SEGMENT, (select SUPERVISOR from (select SUPERVISOR, ROWNUM AS RN FROM table3) WHERE RN = 2) SUPERVISOR
FROM table1 JOIN table2 on table1.ID = table2.ID
WHERE table1.DESK = 'AUTOMOTIVE'

https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=oracle_11.2&fiddle=c5594bb1d99579611d2669f6bab675a2

A: You can try a query like the one below. I don't know where the 23 is coming from so I did not factor it into the query, but if it is a column in one of the three tables, similar logic can be used to add it to the results.
Query
WITH
    table1 (id, desk)
    AS
        (SELECT 4782, 'OIL & GAS' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 4782, 'AUTOMOTIVE' FROM DUAL),
    table2 (id, segment) AS (SELECT 4782, 'GLOBAL' FROM DUAL),
    table3 (id, supervisor)
    AS
        (SELECT 4782, 'DANIEL' FROM DUAL
         UNION ALL
         SELECT 4782, 'JAMES' FROM DUAL)
SELECT *
  FROM (SELECT t1.id,
               CASE WHEN t1.desk = LAG (t1.desk) OVER (ORDER BY t1.desk) THEN NULL ELSE t1.desk END
                   AS desk,
               CASE
                   WHEN t2.segment = LAG (t2.segment) OVER (ORDER BY t2.segment) THEN NULL
                   ELSE t2.segment
               END
                   AS segment,
               CASE
                   WHEN t3.supervisor = LAG (t3.supervisor) OVER (ORDER BY t3.supervisor) THEN NULL
                   ELSE t3.supervisor
               END
                   AS supervisor
          FROM table1 t1, table2 t2, table3 t3
         WHERE t1.id = t2.id AND t1.id = t3.id)

New Zealand were far too strong for a new look USA side, beating the hosts 6-67 at a triple header at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The USA had named 13 uncapped players in their match day squad and the inexperience told as New Zealand dominated throughout.
While New Zealand were on top everywhere, it was once again their driving lineout which proved most damaging, as it was against Australia in Sydney against Australia in August.
Three of the first half tries came from the maul as the forwards took control.
Tighthead prop Aldora Itunu opened the scoring off one such lineout drive and the Black Ferns often turned to that tactic as the home struggled to hold them there.
No 12 Chelsea Alley continued her Farah Palmer Cup form, plunging over from a pick and go.
Lock Eloise Blackwell scored the first of her double from another well-executed lineout maul before captain Fiao'o Faamausili nailed her 16th Test try from yet another drive.
Eagles wing Kelci Stockert came closest to scoring for the home team when she chased a chip through by Kimber Rozier, but the ball beat her over the dead ball line.
The second spell saw right wing Renee Wickliffe come to the fore, finishing in fine style for her double.
Fullback Selica Winiata scored an opportunist try off a break by No 10 Ruahei Demant.
The Eagles were competitive in some scrums, but were shunted off the ball in the 65th minute to allow Kendra Cocksedge to score an easy try. The halfback chalked up 15 points, with some conversions from wide angles.
Centre Stacey Waaka celebrated her 23rd birthday with a try in the corner. But the biggest cheer of the day came in the final throes when young debutante Wellington wing Ayesha Leti-I'iga, who tackled well but had few attacking opportunities – as well as having a try ruled out due to a forward pass – crossed out wide.
Best for the Black Ferns were lock Charmaine Smith, industrious as ever, while the back-row duo of Aroha Savage and Charmaine McMenamin ran hard and freely. Alley set up play well in midfield and on the fringes with her bruising charges or soft passes.
"You couldn't ask for anything more from our girls… we are all one. The starters build the pressure and then the warriors come on and finish it off," says Faamausili.
This was the Black Ferns' eighth Test match win on the bounce. A sterner challenge awaits when they face France in Toulon next Saturday. The Eagles will travel to London to face England.

I have sent payment reminders after 5 days. It actually worked twice, believe it or not. Everyone else has turned into a non-paying bidder. Ebay gives you 7 days - some buyers know this but most don't. Most will pay within 24 hours.
I send payment reminders on the 4th day then after that it's a file for NPB.
it's been 3 days... normally ok but it's a newbie... might remind her by day 5 and if i haven't heard anything/received payment by day 7 then it's npb.
My auctions end on Sunday, I ship Monday and Thursdays. If they don't pay on Sunday, I ussually email them on Wednesday to remind them, then a NPB is filed on Monday if need be.

A standalone Stateflow® chart is a MATLAB® class that defines the behavior of a finite state machine. Standalone charts implement classic chart semantics with MATLAB as the action language. You can program the chart by using the full functionality of MATLAB, including those functions that are restricted for code generation in Simulink®. For more information, see Create Stateflow Charts for Execution as MATLAB Objects.
The file sf_chart.sfx contains the standalone Stateflow chart sf_chart. The chart has an local data u, x, and y.
This example shows how to execute this chart from the Stateflow editor and in the MATLAB Command Window.
To unit test and debug a standalone chart, you can execute the chart directly from the Stateflow editor. During execution, you enter data values and broadcast events from the user interface.
Initializes x to the value of 0.
Makes state A the active state.
Assigns y to the value of 1.
Increases the value of x to 1.
The chart animation highlights the active state A. The Symbols window displays the values u = 1, x = 1, and y = 1. The chart maintains its current state and local data until the next execution command.
Click the Run icon again. Because the value of u does not satisfy the condition [u<0] to transition out of state A, this state remains active and the values of x and y increase to 2. The Symbols window now displays the values u = 1, x = 2, and y = 2.
In the Symbols window, enter a value of u = −1 and click the Run icon . The negative data value triggers the transition to state B. The Symbols window displays the values u = −1, x = 1, and y = 3.
You can modify the value of any chart data in the Symbols window. For example, enter a value of x = 3. The chart will use this data value in the next time execution step.
Enter a value of u = 2 and click the Run icon . The chart transitions back to state A. The Symbols window displays the values u = 2, x = 4, and y = 5.
To stop the chart animation and remove the Stateflow chart object my_sf_chart from the MATLAB workspace, click the Stop icon .
To interrupt the execution and step through each action in the chart, add breakpoints before you execute the chart. For more information, see Debug a Standalone Stateflow Chart.
You can execute a standalone chart in MATLAB without opening the Stateflow editor. If the chart is open, then the Stateflow editor highlights active states and transitions through chart animation.
Create the Stateflow chart object by using the name of the sfx file for the standalone chart as a function. Specify the initial value for the data u as a name-value pair.
This command creates the chart object s, executes the default transition, and initializes the values of x and y. The Stateflow editor animates the chart and highlights the active state A.
Because the value of u does not satisfy the condition [u<0] to transition out of state A, this state remains active and the values of x and y increase to 2.
The negative data value triggers the transition to state B. The value of x decreases to 1 and the value of y increases to 3.
The standalone chart will use this data value in the next time execution step.
The chart transitions back to state A and modifies the values of x and y.
You can execute multiple chart objects defined by the same standalone chart. Concurrent chart objects maintain their internal state independently, but remain associated to the same chart in the editor. The chart animation reflects the state of the chart object most recently executed. Executing multiple chart objects while the Stateflow editor is open can produce confusing results and is not recommended.

NCC Says 40 Million Nigerians Are Denied Access To Internet

The Nigerian Communications Commission says coverage gaps in 200 communities across the country deprive more than 40 million people access to the Internet.
The Executive Vice Chairman at NCC, Prof Umar Danbatta, disclosed this in Abuja on Monday at the annual International Telecommunications Union regional capacity building workshop hosted by the Digital Bridge Institute.
Danbata revealed that the regulatory agency was working on an intervention that would bridge the gap in the communities at the fastest time possible.
He said, "Access is very important. Talking about access, I don't know the experience in other parts of the world especially the Africa continent but here in Nigeria, we have 200 access gaps and we know where these gaps are.
"These access gaps deprive close to 40 million people access to the Internet. We need to look at what we can do to fast-track blocking these access gaps because unless and until we do so, many of our citizens will continue to live without access to the Internet, especially the right kind of Internet connectivity."
He continued, "We are trying to make sure we are not left out in benefiting from the various important features of the fourth industrial revolution. While we are doing this, we are taking cognisance of the elements of digital transformation system because we have to start somewhere.
"How do we generate that critical mass of the Information Communication Technology adoption and use so that by so doing increase Internet and broadband penetration?
"The NCC through the Digital Bridge Institute funds interventions aimed at providing training particularly to teachers in our tertiary institutions so that they can leverage the power of ICT to improve content delivery to be able to access all relevant materials from the Internet."
Danbatta maintained that the aim was to provide the connectivity that was easily accessible and available to the masses.

TRAILER: In This Doc, Guatemalan Activists Search for the Only 2 Survivors of a Brutal 1982 Massacre
Film 09.07.16 at 10:44 am
By Andrew S. Vargas
Two decades have passed since peace accords were signed ending Guatemala's decades-long civil war, but many of the worst crimes associated with the traumatic conflict continue to go unpunished. Among those, one particularly heinous massacre carried out in the remote village of Dos Erres dogged advocates and human rights lawyers for years, and the new documentary Finding Oscar, directed by Ryan Suffern, follows the international effort to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Over two days in early December 1982, government forces took Dos Erres hostage in search of a stockpile of stolen weapons, and proceeded to rape and torture residents before massacring over 200 innocent people – including 67 children. The problem for prosecutors looking to bring the architects of the massacre to trial is that only two witnesses survived – and they happened to be infant children who were kidnapped by soldiers that same day.
Finding Oscar documents the efforts of a diverse team of advocates to track down the two children – now grown men living in the US and Canada – and find the truth behind this horrific chapter in a war that ultimately took over 200,000 lives. Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the film employs chilling archival footage alongside powerful testimonials and poetic imagery to tackle a difficult subject matter.
Thankfully, this particular story ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that with persistent efforts and international solidarity, Guatemala can some day begin to bury the last remnants of this devastating conflict.

Darius Rucker joins advisory board to bring MLB team to Nashville
Darius Rucker is joining the effort to bring a Major League Baseball team to Nashville.
The Hootie and the Blowfish frontman and solo country star, who happens to be an avid sports fan, is one of the latest investors in an effort led by Music City Baseball to make the city the new home for an MLB team.
"I have always been a big fan of Major League Baseball so I'm excited about being part of bringing a team to Tennessee," Rucker says in a statement. "Nashville is already a great home to several professional sports teams, and I believe baseball is the next step in continuing Nashville's reputation as one of the greatest cities in the United States."
The singer joins the advisory board alongside country artists Luke Combs, Eric Church, Kane Brown and pop superstar Justin Timberlake, the latter of whom is a native of Memphis, as a way to unite the music industry with the growing sports scene.
The team would be named the Nashville Stars in honor of a former Negro League team that was in the city from the 1930s through the '50s.
Nashville is already home to NHL team the Nashville Predators and NFL team the Tennessee Titans.

Bradykinin is a potent vasoactive peptide created when Factor XII activates kallikrein, which then cleaves high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK) into bradykinin. Bradykinin then leads to a release of prostacyclin, nitric oxide, and other vasodilatory signals.[1-3] C1 esterase-inhibitor (C1INH) normally regulates the production of bradykinin at numerous steps in the pathway, particularly blocking the catalytic function of activated factor XII and of activated kallikrein (Figure 2). HAE is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and is due to C1INH deficiency (85% of cases) or C1INH dysfunction (15% of cases). Acquired angioedema is due to C1INH consumption via autoimmune processes. ACEI-AAE is due to blocking bradykinin degradation via kininase I and kininase II (aka ACE).
All patients presenting with angioedema should be initially treated as if histamine-mediated. Concurrently, assessing for bradykinin-mediated angioedema risk factors should take place. The primary clinical differentiation between histamine-mediated and bradykinin-mediated is, in the latter, the absence of urticaria and pruritus but presence of gastrointestinal distress.
Hereditary angioedema is more likely to present in a patient with a known family or personal history of angioedema and possibly with a recent trigger such as trauma or infection. ACEI-AAE occurs in 0.1%-0.7% of the 40-million+ patients on ACEI; it accounts for 25%-40% of all angioedema ED visits per year and typically occurs early on in treatment course, but can be at any time point.[4,5] Acquired angioedema is much less common and often presents in association with a B-cell lymphoproliferative disease.
As aforementioned, angioedema cases should be initially triaged and treated as histamine-mediated conditions until more data arises that indicates otherwise. Regardless of etiology, airway compromise is the most emergent concern with persons experiencing angioedema. If a definitive airway is required, the most experienced provider will need to follow a difficult airway algorithm.

Successful entrepreneurs strongly believe in themselves. In fact, many of them are supremely confident individuals. However, their strong belief in themselves doesn't necessarily mean that they don't experience self-doubt. They do! They experience fear, but instead of running away from their fears, they embrace what they fear the most and just plod on.
11. They exhibit tolerance towards ambiguity.
Even though there is no assurance that a business will succeed, entrepreneurs are not daunted by this uncertainly and instead continue to pursue the idea of starting a business.
12. They see opportunities where others do not.
Those who succeed in business have finely honed business skills based on their environment, education, experience and innate intuitive abilities. What sets them apart is their inherent sense of what is "right" for a business. They have the ability to spot opportunities for growth, with loads of courage to pursue these opportunities. They love the challenge of pitting their resources and skills against the environment.
13. They are not afraid to make mistakes.
Successful entrepreneurs are not afraid of making mistakes because they see it as an opportunity to learn and improve. They don't focus on blame and retribution, and instead work on finding solutions to rectify the mistake and prevent it from happening again.
14. They seek out help when needed.
Successful entrepreneurs realize that they don't know everything. They will pull in resources and seek the advice of experts to help them achieve their goals. They know that they key to getting things done is to find the right people who can do the job. They understand their strengths and weaknesses – and find people who can complement them in areas that they need the most.
15. They have the willingness and capacity to persevere.
Entrepreneurs possess a high level of energy, sustainable over long hours to make the business successful. They welcome the responsibility that goes to owning a business. They are tenacious, always finding a way to display persistence or able to dig deep within oneself to find it. When things don't go their way, they are able to handle thousands of rejections along the journey.
They recognize that much of their success will depend on how well they deal with people. While success in entrepreneurship takes rugged individualism, it's a "team sport" at it's core.
Successful entrepreneurs possess huge doses of discipline. Discipline is important to stay focused on their objectives and vision. The process of building an idea into a business entails working on a lot of details — some of which the entrepreneur may not want to deal with — but it is discipline that makes the entrepreneur work on completing every task. As an entrepreneur, it is easy to go off strategy, including the allure of not working (for home-based entrepreneurs, that mean sleeping or watching TV instead of working), and discipline keeps them on the right track.
18. They keep their focus.
Successful entrepreneurs understand that focus is a key ingredient to the success of their business. They know the importance of identifying and concentrating on making the unique aspects of their business as superb as possible. They are clear on what their business stands for, and stick to it. They don't have to grab all opportunities that come their way or try to do too much too quickly. They keep their eyes on the prize and spend their resources, time and energy in focusing on the attainment of their goals — running and developing a successful, profitable and viable business. Every day, their focus is how to further enhance their business.
Successful entrepreneurs are always on their toes, ready to make the shift if needed. They know that as the business grow, the needs of their business changes and they will require help in developing and executing their vision. Their managerial skills become critical, and their understanding of the market and competition becomes crucial. They know that sleeping on the job is the worst mistake an entrepreneur can make, and they always strategize and prepare for change.
20. They love what they do.
Successful entrepreneurs are passionate with what they do. They love what they do, and their work feels more like fun, play and inspiration. They more they are having fun and loving what they do, financial rewards come easier. They are energized by the activities and challenges of their business. Even if they fail often, their passion keeps them going until they get it right.
Before committing yourself to the extraordinary investment of time, energy and money that starting a business requires, you need to engage in some personal soul-searching. You need to review your pluses and minuses, your strengths and weaknesses to determine if you are a suitable match for the challenge. Remember, the entrepreneur IS the business – its originator, its motivating force, and its energy. Without the needed ingredients, the business can fail as quickly as it started.
You have so much information on this site. Reading the 20 Qualities of Successful Entrepreneurs I once again find that I seem to tick most of the boxes. I just wish it was that simple.
I'd be interested to arrange an online video interview with you sometime if you are interested.
Being open to what presents as far as opportunities go is important. Asking for help to fill in the blanks of what you are missing is a key to your success.
Loving what they do, not afraid to make mistakes and persevering are the points that really speak to me. These three values in my opinion is what makes you successful before you even start!!
Great list. Lots of these are all about risk taking and having discipline… no wonder many people out there aren't cut out for being entrepreneurs.

Springbok Women's Sevens continue with positive strides in Chile
By admin16/08/2022August 17th, 2022No Comments
Springbok Women's Sevens coach Paul Delport said he was pleased with the team's overall performance in Santiago in Chile, where the South Africans managed to win three from five games at the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series, to continue with their recent positive strides in the build-up to the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town next month.
They managed to beat Sri Lanka in their final game at the recent Commonwealth Games a few weeks ago and then carried that momentum into the Challenger Series 2022, where they registered wins over Chile (twice) and Papua New Guinea, while ending on the losing side against the more experienced outfits of China and Kenya, despite fielding four newcomers.
"I believe we managed to achieve our own team goals in Chile," was Delport's assessment after the three-day qualifying event finished on Monday morning (SA time) in South America.
"We are disappointed with the losses against China and Kenya, which showed we still have lot to learn, but we played well and deserved the wins over Chile and Papua New Guinea.
"Looking back, I saw us gaining more valuable experience at international level, while we also gave a couple more players a taste of what international sevens rugby is all about. We wanted to show more on attack and increase the knowledge of our defensive system," added Delport, who again had to make do without some more established players who are currently in camp with the Springbok Women's team for their Test series against Spain.
With the benefit of regular competition – the Springbok Women's Sevens have now competed in four international tournaments this year – and good preparations at their base in Stellenbosch, the squad continue with their efforts to build a good foundation which will benefit them in the long run, but also with an eye on next month's Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town.
On Sunday evening, South Africa played Chile for a second time to determine ninth place overall, and they did not disappoint despite the home team's good support. The Bok Women's Sevens team scored five tries to two on their way to complete the double over the Chileans, who they also managed to beat on the opening day of the three-day event.
Chile made a strong start, but it was the South Africans who managed to open the scoring when Felicia Jacobs dotted down for a converted try. However, the hosts' reply was swift, and they finished the half with a 10-7 advantage following two tries out wide.
The South Africans found another gear in the second half and their lively attacking play outgunned the home side and yielded four more tries, two scored by Zanele Masuku, while Marlize de Bruin and Snyders also managed to get on the scoresheet for a comfortable 29-10 win in their last match of the tournament.
They also beat Papua New Guinea in their playoff match on Sunday after winning one of their three Pool D encounters on Friday and Saturday.
Uruguay (men) and Japan (women) earned core status on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2023 after they each emerged triumphant from the Challenger Series.
The Springbok Women's Sevens team will now return home to complete their preparations for next month's Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in Cape Town.

HLC executive director Kachina Inman and her family will be relocating to Eugene Oregon in June of 2019. Her husband was offered a wonderful opportunity with the University of Oregon.
We will miss Kachina. However, we are excited about this opportunity for her family. And we have six months to plan a smooth transition of the SWACH and HLC work.
Kachina's leadership in the creation and evolution of HLC began in early 2014. Since then, HLC has shaped state and local policy, launched a network of community health workers and built strong ties with communities across the region.
Her vision for HLC's future also led to the integration of HLC into the Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health (SWACH). Going forward, HLC will continue as a program of SWACH.
We are incredibly grateful for Kachina's dedication and hard work. We look forward to continuing this important work with our HLC coalition members, partners and funders around the region.

Brilliant Violet 570™ anti-mouse CD45 Antibody
30-F11 (See other available formats)
T200, Ly-5, LCA
Rat IgG2b, κ
C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes were stained with CD45 (clone 30-F11) Brilliant Violet 570™ (filled histogram) or rat IgG2b Brilliant Violet 570™ isotype control (open histogram).
CD45 is a 180-240 kD glycoprotein also known as the leukocyte common antigen (LCA), T200, or Ly-5. It is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family, expressed on all hematopoietic cells except mature erythrocytes and platelets. There are different isoforms of CD45 that arise from variable splicing of exons 4, 5, and 6, which encode A, B, and C determinants, respectively. CD45 plays a key role in TCR and BCR signal transduction. These isoforms are very specific to the activation and maturation state of the cell as well as cell type. The primary ligands for CD45 are galectin-1, CD2, CD3, CD4, TCR, CD22, and Thy-1.
Mouse thymus or spleen
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining using the µg size, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. For immunofluorescent staining using the µg size, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 µl per million cells in 100 µl staining volume or 5 µl per 100 µl of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Clone 30-F11 reacts with all isoforms and both CD45.1 and CD45.2 alloantigens of CD45.
Additional reported applications (for relevant formats) include: immunoprecipitation3, complement-dependent cytotoxicity1,5, immunohistochemistry (acetone-fixed frozen sections, zinc-fixed paraffin-embedded sections and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections)4,6 and Western blotting7. The Ultra-LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin < 0.01 EU/µg, Azide-Free, 0.2 µm filtered) is recommended for functional assays (Cat. No. 103163 and 103164).

I'm angry with myself for the times I've let myself believe that creativity is a luxury, that it's a wasteful expense, and that it's completely unproductive. But here's the rub: as much as those thoughts are lies, there's a little truth in there, too, because we don't live in a utopian society. This is the paradox I'm learning to embrace in spiritual direction.
Just this morning I was talking with a person who was born, raised, and currently lives in Mexico. He was telling me that his city (and the larger culture of Mexico) doesn't have room for creativity or art. He said that in Mexico's second largest city there is only one functioning theater house. He said the "middle-class" don't have the funds to afford such "luxuries." And yet he believes it is a tragedy that it is inaccessible to everyone because it's so necessary for human flourishing to engage with beauty and art. There it is: it's necessary, but it's an economic luxury.
Therein lies the problem: due to economic realities we've elevated art to the elite. The solution is moving towards taking art-making and art-engaging back to the people.
For the people who need beauty the most--because it gives hope, encourages innovation, and creates more connected communities--have the least access to art. It's being taken out of education, and some museums are moving to "for profit" models of keeping their doors open. And those who have the most access to these galleries, museums, cathedrals, and opera houses have intellectually removed art from its context as a tool to lead to revelation, creativity, and awareness to the realm of anesthetized aesthetics.
So we need to do something dangerous: we need to create covertly together in our communities. We need to subtly and courageously bring beauty with us. We need to lean in to our creativity and show it off to the world. We need to spread the contagion of our unabashed and unashamed art-making. Dangerous not because it's life-threatening, but because it can be life-altering to you and those around you.
What else?!?! I'm sure you all have a million great ideas. Share them with all of us in the comments here or on my Facebook page. I can't wait to hear what you come up with.
Excuse me, but I'm going to cough all over you in this post today (#sorrynotsorry). I want to expose you to the contagion of creativity right now because I was re-infected this weekend by an artist named Kiel Johnson. During his talk at the CCCA conference he said he was infected by creativity and so he wanted to cough on us, lick us on the cheek, and do whatever he had to do to see it spread. Watching him share his passion it was hard to not get drawn in and want to cue up to be "coughed on" like a blessing by this passionate innovator.
Below is a short video about a project that kicked off his recent series of work: creating art with others. In this case, Kiel was invited to create with a group of high school kids and they kind of ended up taking over the(ir) world.
Cypress Valley from Kiel Johnson on Vimeo.
What's amazing is that the original idea, reported Kiel, stemmed from a Halloween costume he'd made. Someone saw that, asked him to help their high school students do the same. They did it, got excited; then a large corporation saw it and had Kiel come and make cardboard robots for them. All this prompted Kiel to begin working in a new project, with some cardboard (a cityscape), which he shared on social media, someone saw it and invited him to a TED conference. There he turned it into a community art project, and other people invited him to their countries to help their people create art based on their cities. Just writing it out now I'm struck by how fitting the contagion metaphor truly is.
All this got me thinking about (well, a lot of things, but in particular) why I create and offer photography classes (as opposed to only teaching through other venues, which would be simpler). It's much easier to show up, teach, and go home. But when I craft a class for you I get to cough all over you. We have the time and space to stop what were talking about, go on a mini-assignment to capture something. We can break up into pairs so those who need a little more attention from me for a moment can get it. We can imagine together what we might photograph next. And because we go about learning this way, you get to cough all over me and everyone else there. We learn together.
Ah! I'm so excited. I can't wait for our next photo time together: Saturday, March 26 from 2pm-4pm, where we're going to explore the more creative aspects of photography. If you want to come get coughed on, dust your camera off and register today, or click below to learn more.

Q: How to guard against scope objects getting changed? I'm an Angular noob. In an app I have taken over there is an object in the scope that defines the role of the current user (e.g. user.role=REGULAR).
Is there a way to keep a user from opening firebug and changing user.role=ADMIN?
For example, I have seen code that shows a tab based on a value in a scope, but I'm not sure how to keep a user from changing that value (and getting access to the tab). Is there a pattern to deal with this? Does everything access-related need to come directly from a web service/protected remote location?

A: There is no way to do this. Your design has a fundamental issue; it relies on client side validation.
You can never ever ever ever ever trust anything coming from the client. Anything that you truly want validated or authenticated must be done on the server side, particularly security related matters.
The most important rule is that once it leaves the server and hits the client, its out of your control. Assume its compromised, assume its not trust-worthy, and assume you have to check everything.
In your case, if a user is not an admin don't even provide them with admin options.

A: Well, you can try to hide the object inside of a closure or use Object.freeze in browsers that support it, however there is no getting around the fact that the code is being sent to and executed on the client.  Even if there was a foolproof way of preventing modification ( which there isn't ), the client could have modified the payload in Fiddler or something before it reached the browser.
With that in mind, you cannot trust anything on the client for access/authorization; you must verify this on the server or you'll have security holes/risks.


I am not going for combo here. I really just wanted something casual and fun to play as my EDH play group is not very big nor is it a very high power level. We all started with the precons but I realized I didn't really care for my commander so I tried to find something more fun and I found Karador. Most of the list is based off the MTGsalvation Primer. But I showed the list to my playgroup and they all feel I should try to find a better general and the the list didn't "have a win conidition". What are your thoughts? what do you think I could do to improve this list? thanks guys!
I run the same colors with Doran. Mine's all about reanimation as well. Fun and casual is what I love so you definitely need Proper Burial and Angelic Chorus to have fun.
woah, those are cool. I'll definitively need to squeeze them in on the list. thanks for the suggestions!

Little Concern for the Environment in EU-Central America Agreement
By Danilo Valladares	Reprint | | Print | |En español
The Association Agreement between the EU and Central America could exacerbate sustainability problems in this Latin American region.

GUATEMALA CITY , Sep 18 2012 (IPS) - The Association Agreement between Central America and the European Union (EU) will increase environmental and social pressures on the region, warn experts and activists. But some observers stress its potentially positive impacts.
"We can expect an increase in the activities of extractive industries," which bring about "negative environmental and social repercussions," said Juventino Gálvez, the director of the Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment at Rafael Landívar University, a Jesuit university.
This is a delicate issue in several countries of the region. In Guatemala, for example, Montana Explotadora, a subsidiary of the Canadian mining company Goldcorp, has been accused of contaminating rivers and affecting the water supply of 18 indigenous communities in the western department (province) of San Marcos, through its activities at the Marlin gold mine.
In May 2010, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights called on the Guatemalan government to suspend the operation of the mine, but it continues to operate.

CENTRAL AMERICA: "It's Up to the EU Whether the Deal Is Signed"
"National institutions are precarious, and there is a well-known tendency to disrespect legislation, which is vague and permissive to begin with," Gálvez commented to Tierramérica*.
The entry into force of the Association Agreement, signed on Jun. 29 by the EU, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, depends on its ratification in the European Parliament and the legislatures of the six Central American countries.
The agreement establishes mutual commitments in three areas: political dialogue, cooperation and trade.
With regard to trade, it will eliminate tariffs on agricultural products (such as coffee, fruit, vegetables and meat), textiles and manufactured goods, while opening up markets to financial, telecommunication, transportation and other services, as well as government procurement.
As for cooperation, the agreement aims to promote technical assistance and exchange in the use of clean energies, mining, tourism, fishing, transportation, sustainable development and the environment.
The most significant section of the agreement with regard to the environment is found in this chapter, under Title V, which also addresses natural disasters and climate change – two key issues for the region.
In the area of political dialogue, one of the aims is to establish common ground in areas such as the rule of law, good governance, democracy, human rights, gender equality, the rights of indigenous peoples, poverty reduction and migration, among others.
For Gálvez, when the "potential" expansion of monoculture plantations is added to the equation, the result will be greater conflict "due to competition between agroindustrial operations and rural communities for access to strategic resources."
Oil palm plantations, which tripled in size between 2003 and 2010, have given rise to violent land disputes, especially in northern Guatemala, where hundreds of peasant farmers have been displaced and a number have been killed in clashes with the police.
Miguel Mira of the non-governmental Centre for Investment and Trade Research of El Salvador believes that "the only interest behind these agreements is to open up more markets to trade and investment for big transnational corporations, while labor and environmental issues are considered irrelevant."
In Central America, with roughly 43 million inhabitants, half of the population is poor. And poverty is deeper in rural areas.
There is an obvious asymmetry with the EU, home to 500 million inhabitants and one of the wealthiest areas on the planet, which until now has represented barely 10 percent of Central America's foreign trade.
In 2011, the EU sold 36 billion dollars in goods to Central America, and purchased the equivalent of 31.6 billion dollars, resulting in a trade surplus of 4.4 billion dollars for the EU, according to European Commission figures.
Central American sales are concentrated in telecommunications and office equipment (53.9 percent) and agricultural products (almost 35 percent in 2010). In the meantime, the main goods imported from the EU are machinery and transport equipment (48 percent) and chemicals (12 percent).
"The logic of the Association Agreement is that of free trade, and all other aspects of international relations are subject to this," said activist Erik Van Mele of the international non-governmental organisation Oxfam Solidariteit.
Although the agreement addresses sustainable development and the environment, there is no guarantee of protection for Central America, one of the regions with the greatest wealth in biodiversity in the world.
Article 284 on trade and sustainable development "stipulates that these matters are excluded from the procedures established for the settlement of eventual conflicts," Van Mele stressed.
Moreover, there are various interpretations of sustainable development, he said.
For example, the promotion of agrofuels as "green energy" to replace fossil fuels "could give rise to deforestation to allow for the planting of monocultures, or to hunger caused by an increase in the price of corn, a staple food in the region, due to its high demand for conversion into ethanol," he warned.
An evaluation of the agreement requested by the European Commission in 2009 concluded that, in addition to its economic and trade benefits, it would generate greater pressure on land, coastal and maritime resources, with a specific warning on the potential increase in monocultures. It also recommended measures to minimise the impacts, to be adopted in the framework of cooperation.
Gustavo Hernández, the coordinator in Brussels of the non-governmental Latin American Association of Development Promotion Organisations, told Tierramérica that the sanctioning mechanisms for non-compliance stipulated "are not binding" and that there is "little participation by civil society, particularly the majority sectors of the population who will be the most affected" by the agreement.
As far as Luis Muñoz of the Guatemelan Centre for Cleaner Production is concerned, however, the experience of the free trade agreement with the United States, in force in Guatemala since 2006, demonstrates that agreements like these can generate positive demands.
"When the environment is linked to the economy, it is more advantageous for companies to invest time and resources in environmental aspects," he explained.
Moreover, the transfer of technology and the drive for competitiveness also need to be considered, he added. "Before, the pressure to approve environmental laws was very low, but after the free trade agreement with the United States, regulations on wastewater were adopted," he noted.
Muñoz recognises that all industries generate impacts, but believes that it is necessary to "seek a balance."
"Without the profits from coffee, for example, how many people would be left without an income? And I'm not talking about the plantation owners," he said.

Q: Is it okay to say "Captains Carter and Marvel"? An artist wrote "Captains Carter and Marvel" to refer to both Captain Carter and Captain Marvel together.
Is it okay to use the title only once and make it plural when there are multiple people with that title mentioned in the sentence? Can I see some other examples?

A: I just chose two generic names and searched for Captains Smith and Jones. Plenty of examples.
This is a perfectly normal construction, and can be extended to Messrs (pronounced messers, plural of Mister), Misses, Sisters, Brothers, Sergeants, Presidents... Where there is a title, it can be pluralised.
Mrs is difficult. While one might mention unmarried sisters as "The Misses Bulstrode" (or whatever), Mrs doesn't lend itself to pluralisation.

Posted in cinema review	by Admin W
It is rare to get an opportunity to get to talk about one's favourite cartoon without sounding unusually nostalgic. So I couldn't let go this opportunity to blog about it for the blogathon at moviemovieblogblog. Thanks for the opportunity!
Our love for emoticons, regardless of our age, is a sign that we find animated images very adorable. Okay I can't say that about others but at least I know I do and include the gif trend as well. Of course this love has its roots in the Sunday morning cartoon of our childhood. Not that children don't understand the laws of physics but what they don't know is that they can't be broken, so a world where animals speak, where one did not realise that they had walked off a cliff until they looked down, seems entirely possible! For one reason or the other I find these works of imagination (and tenacity) always endearing.
If I were to name my favourite cartoons the list would be long, and it includes a couple of mice, a couple of ducks and a dog — well two! But I know which ones were the most impressive. The one that tops the list is the animated short by Chuck Jones called High Note.
Jones is mostly known for the duels between two anthropomorphic beings that fight incompetently and without conclusion — say in Tom and Jerry or the Road Runner Show. Then there are those that won Jones' his three Oscars. But a better representation of Chuck's genius is High Note. It is cartoons like High Note that turned the entertainment of cartoons into an art form. Jones followed his act after another genius, Walt Disney. He was as industrious as Disney too. Did he feel the pressure to contribute to the legacy? If so it only triggered his genius.
The film features the famous waltz The Blue Danube by the Austrian composer Johann Strauss. It is hard to say why Jones' chose this particular waltz. There are three more compositions referenced in the cartoon,
How Dry I Am – Irving Berlin
Little Brown Jug – Joseph Winner
Brahms' Lullaby – Johannes Brahms
Where, Oh Where, Has My Little Dog Gone?[1
How Dry I Am and Little Brown Jug are featured in visual as an album cover.
As the composer starts playing the song, he finds a sole note has gone missing. He finds the note drunk in the Little Brown Jug. What ensues is a struggle to capture the drunk high note and bring it back in the waltz. The form that the notations take seem like a creative burst of how perhaps artists visualise musical notes.
High Note seems like a freewheeling exercise to understand the concept of a creative block. The idea itself could have started in some stick figure doodling but how it progressed and the way it was utilised is the true beauty of this short film.
Is it possible that what us mere mortals experience as earworm is experienced by artists too but instead of a song what their mind plays on loops is a note? The one I have heard is Robert Schumann hallucinating on an A in his final years. Although I have no capacity for understanding how to even understand his trauma I can imagine this is how it could be visually represented. (Years after watching this short film in an episode of Seinfeld, George (Jason Alexander) gets a song from Les Miserables stuck in his head. And Jerry tells him that the composer Robert Schumann gets a note stuck in his head,) the reference reminded me of High Note.
The game of animation has changed since the arrival of CGIs. But it rarely reaches the height that the animation form in its early days achieved. Animation definitely is easier to create now and not there is lack of imagination as such either but I feel that these classics are definitely the golden days of the art form.

Worshipping Suffering and Malice
On the Balkans, Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, is being worshipped in a bizarre manner and to a grotesque extent. To the wider public the late nun is better known by her stage name Mother Teresa. In worshipping her, even her most devout fans can not hide her dark side.
"Peace with a Smile".
That's the message on an image on display in the National Museum of Kosovo in its capital Prishtina.
It has been put up in the staircase between the second floor, hosting the museum's one and only room for exhibitions, and a tiny one at that, and the third floor where another room is supposed to be opened some time in the future.
There just isn't enough money for the kind of exhibition one would expect in a National Museum.
There was, apparently, for the rather kitschy installation in the staircase.
A local artist portrayed Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu and the slogan "using 1.2 million staples", one of the museum's employees tells me.
Should there ever have been any peace in any of this Albanian nun's smiles, it must have been as grotesquely distorted, forced and emaciated as in this image.
It is the face of a deeply malicious and ascetic person staring at you, forcing her lips to smile with all the strength she got.
Hansel And Gretel in Kosovo
The statue of the Catholic Saint on Bulevar Nene Terese in the city center doesn't look that much different.
Bojaxhiu stares at you.
If one didn't know that this is supposed to be the depiction of someone her admirers consider to be the embodiment of charity and good will, one would assume this to be the statue of a witch abducting a child.
Hansel and Gretel in Kosovo, so to speak.
Or just Hansel, respectively, Gretel already having been eaten by the witch.
The city's Cathedral is named after her.
Inside, the Catholic Church puts on display an astounding number of Greater Albanian nationalist symbols.
All this public reverence could lead one to think she was one of the city's great daughters.
A National Saint
Yet, she wasn't even born in today's Kosovo.
Her place of birth is Skopje, capital of today's Macedonia.
There the rightfully disputed saint is also revered to a great extent, regardless of the population's ethnicity or religious affiliation.
The museum located in her native home draws a great number of historically obviously underinformed tourists.
In Albania, she's also considered a national saint.
For Catholic Albanians, she is Holy or Saint Mother Teresa.
Muslims will speak of her reveringly as Mother Teresa.
What Does Bojaxhiu Have to Do with Sarajevo?
She is fairly popular in Bosnia, too, particularly among the Catholic population, officially labelled Croats.
That she never had anything to do with the country hasn't kep Sarajevo's Catholics from putting up a statue of her in front of the Catholic Church in the neighborhood of Marijin Dvor.
Here, she's holding an understandably crying kid's head, her other hand holding a rosary. Her malicious smile leads one to believe that she intends to wield the rosary as a weapon.
Presumably one has to be a very devout Catholic in order to enter this building, having to pass this statue.
Everyone else would be reminded of a very mean watch dog and turn around on the spot.
The Holy Fraud
What all of these depictions have in common is that they glorify suffering, rather than trying to overcome it.
With Bojaxhiu, that pretty much nails it.
She, too, glorified suffering. Preferably other people's suffering.
A nun may not be rich in the strict sense of the word. Yet, compared to those whose plight she supposedly helped ease, the poor of Calcutta, she was immensely rich.
She had a roof over her head, regular meals, clean clothes and, last but not least, access to professional medical treatment.
The latter of which was something that wasn't guaranteed for the poor that had been taken to the hospices run by her order, the "Missionaries of Charity".
Calcutta's destitute, and later those of other places full of poverty and suffering, were taken there to die in huge, dark halls, lying on cots, regularly denied painkillers and with no medical staff around in the stricter sense of the word.
In their suffering, Bojaxhiu saw something wonderful to teach one about the world and about Jesus. A gift of God.
She made sure her God doled out this gift rather generously.
The millions donated to her order she hardly ever used for her hospices and alter on for her orphanages.
Rather, she founded branches of her order in around 100 countries.
Even medication donated to her, she wouldn't give to the patients. After her death, substantial amounts of medication were found in her order's stores, many of them having long expired.
The woman devout Catholics and many others consider "an Angel of the Poor" glorified poverty on several occasions and never once spoke out against the very conditions that created it.
She preferred sucking up to corrupt dictators such as Baby Doc Duvalier from Haiti. He lived well off the poor of his country.
At the same time, Bojaxhiu was a ferocious activist against abortion or any form of family control.
Thus helping to keep particularly Catholics in developping countries from practicing any form of family control, she helped keep millions of women in poverty and dependence.
On a personal level she is said to have been unpleasant, domineering and mean. There are several reports of her striking her nuns.
(You can read more about the substantial and well documented allegations against Bojaxhiu HERE in detail. The piece also explains how she became an icon of the Catholic Church and beyond.)
Honest Kitsch
Her malice shows on every photo and on every film ever made of her.
Some people just can't hide who they are.
"Not even her greatest fans manage to turn her into a nice person", a friend of mine from Sarajevo says.
It is perhaps consoling to think that kitsch can be honest at times. Although not quite voluntarily.
Unfortunately, this won't do much to end the grotesque worshipping of this holy fraud.

Influence of vehicular traffic on air permeability and groundnut production in a semi-arid sandy loam soil

vehicular traffic
air permeability
The effect of vehicular traffic on the production of groundnut (Arachis hypogea) was investigated in a sandy loam soil. A randomized complete block design with treatments of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 passes of a tractor with 31 kPa contact pressure was used. The gravimetric soil moisture content, soil dry bulk density, penetration resistance and air permeability for each applied load were measured from the soil surface up to a depth of 10 cm. Seed moisture content, haulms and seed yield were determined at harvest for each treatment. Soil dry bulk density and penetration resistance increased with increase in the number of tractor passes while air permeability decreased with increase in the number of tractor passes. The haulms yield and seed yield increased with increase in the number of tractor passes up to 5 passes, and thereafter decreased with further increases in tractor passes. The soil physical properties and the product of the number of tractor passes and contact pressure were used to generate a groundnut yield model. The yield model that contained the interactions of the product of the number of tractor passes and contact pressure, penetration resistance and air permeability had the greatest influence on the yield of the crop. It can be concluded that in groundnut production in a sandy loam soil in a semi-arid environment, a moderate amount of soil compaction could improve the yield of groundnut.

The Internet is not so anonymous. Or, at least, YouTube isn't. Probably more to please those big media companies with wary eyes, YouTube has released the identities of several users that were pirating, including one fellow who was uploading television episodes before they had even aired. While that certainly won't stop the circulation of the videos, it very well demonstrates Google and YouTube's willingness to prove they are anti-piracy.

When people get scared of being exposed, whether or not they are pirating, their willingness to participate might shrivel up very quickly.
