Biotech Mergers and Acquisitions
It might be only Tuesday, but there have been four major biotech mergers this week worth noting. The entire industry has been the subject of much debate whether or not it is bubbling into an eventual let down for investors. Citi, last week wrote a compelling piece for why this may be true, and eventually concluded that biotech was still a safe bet for those interested. While that issue may still be up in the air, four companies are combining within the category which keeps confidence high for the sector.
Horizon Pharma is set to buy all the outstanding shares of Hyperion Therapeutics in a cash deal valued at $1.1 billion of $46 a share. What will it bring to Horizon? An addition to their portfolio with complementary orphan disease products.
Cellular Dynamics International is set to be acquired by FujiFilm Holdings for $307 million or $16.50 a share. Last year their revenue totalled $16.7 million. The company is a leader in the area of human cellular production with specifications of any precision. Pre-market trading saw a spike around 111%.
Teva Pharmaceuticals has announced it will be acquiring Auspex Pharmaceuticals to the tune of $101 per share in a cash deal. Teva will look to improve their foothold in the movement disorder industry, where they had no position previously. Auspex is a company which specializes in central nervous research.
UnitedHealth will plan to acquire Catamaran Corp with its pharmacy division to create a stronger, new competitor in the market. The deal is structured around a cash buyout with a price tag of $61.50 per share.

En mathématiques, et plus précisément en théorie des anneaux, un idéal fractionnaire est une généralisation de la définition d'un idéal. Ce concept doit son origine à la théorie algébrique des nombres. Pour résoudre certaines équations diophantiennes, cette théorie utilise des anneaux d'entiers généralisant celui des entiers relatifs. Ces anneaux (unitaires) ne disposent en général pas d'équivalent du théorème fondamental de l'arithmétique et il n'est pas possible de factoriser un entier en un unique produit de facteurs premiers au groupe des éléments inversibles près. Les idéaux fournissent un équivalent de ce théorème, permettant de résoudre certaines équations diophantiennes ou d'établir des lois de réciprocités équivalentes à la loi de réciprocité quadratique établie par Gauss.

Les idéaux disposent d'une multiplication, cette opération est associative et il existe un élément neutre constitué de l'anneau tout entier. En revanche, le manque d'inverse empêche de munir l'ensemble des idéaux d'une structure de groupe. Dans le cas des anneaux d'entiers, la structure possède toutes les bonnes propriétés pour offrir un contournement. Cette configuration est axiomatisée dans la définition d'un anneau de Dedekind. Dans un premier temps l'anneau est plongé dans son anneau total de fractions, puis la notion d'idéal est généralisée.

Cette notion est aussi utilisée en géométrie algébrique.

Histoire

Une tentative de Leonhard Euler pour résoudre le dernier théorème de Fermat si n est égal à 3 l'amène à considérer les nombres de la forme a + b, où a et b sont des entiers et  l'unité imaginaire. Sa preuve est fausse : un tel anneau n'est pas factoriel, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'existe pas une unique manière de factoriser un nombre à l'aide de facteurs premiers. Par exemple, 4 est à la fois le carré de l'entier 2 et le produit (1 + )(1 – ). Si la mise en œuvre est un peu maladroite, l'idée s'avère bonne. Gauss le montre en étudiant l'anneau des nombres de la forme a + b, où a et b sont des entiers. Il est euclidien et dispose d'une bonne factorisation. Gotthold Eisenstein découvre le « bon » anneau pour rendre rigoureuse la démonstration d'Euler. Composé des nombres de la forme a + b, où  désigne une racine cubique de l'unité, il s'avère aussi être euclidien.

Dans le cas général, il est vain d'espérer trouver une structure euclidienne pour les anneaux d'entiers. Ernst Kummer en comprend la raison profonde, qu'il qualifie de deuxième obstruction. Les équivalents des nombres entiers, sur les anneaux d'entiers algébriques ne sont pas assez « nombreux ». Il ajoute en conséquence ce qu'il appelle des nombres idéaux. Cette découverte lui permet de démontrer le grand théorème de Fermat pour toutes les valeurs de n inférieures à 100 à l'exception de 37, 59 et 67.

Kummer analyse les entiers algébriques du corps Q[ζn], où ζn désigne une racine primitive de l'unité, structure maintenant appelée extension cyclotomique. Richard Dedekind et Leopold Kronecker cherchent à généraliser la théorie à toute extension finie des nombres rationnels. Leurs approches sont opposées : Kronecker s'inscrit dans la tradition calculatoire, instaurée par Gauss et suivie par Kummer, tandis que Dedekind cherche une théorie fondée sur les caractéristiques structurelles des anneaux d'entiers, quitte à ne pas disposer d'algorithme effectif. Cette philosophie l'amène à réécrire quatre fois son traité de la théorie des nombres. La version de 1876 contient la définition moderne d'idéal et d'idéal fractionnaire. Son approche abstraite le pousse à étudier la structure algébrique des idéaux, et particulièrement leur multiplication. L'adjonction des idéaux fractionnaires assure l'existence d'un inverse. La dernière version de son traité, datée de 1894, montre en toute généralité et sous sa forme moderne l'unicité de la décomposition remplaçant le théorème fondamental de l'arithmétique.

Définitions
Dans tout cet article, A désigne un anneau commutatif (unitaire) et K son anneau total des fractions : si A est intègre (ce qui sera le cas la plupart du temps), K est donc le corps des fractions de A, et dans le cas général, K est l'anneau localisé SA de A par rapport au sous-ensemble S des éléments réguliers ( non diviseurs de zéro).

Un sous-A-module M de K est dit inversible s'il existe un sous-A-module N de K tel que M.N = A, où M.N désigne le sous-module produit engendré par les produits d'éléments de M et de N.
Un idéal fractionnaire de A est une partie de K de la forme dJ où d est un élément régulier de A et J un idéal de A. Autrement dit, c'est un sous-A-module M de K tel qu'il existe un élément régulier d de A pour lequel d.M est inclus dans A.
Un idéal fractionnaire F est dit principal s'il est engendré (comme A-module) par un élément, autrement dit s'il est de la forme F = dJ où J est un idéal principal de A.
Pour tous sous-A-modules F et G de K, on note (G : F) le sous-module « transporteur de F dans G » constitué des éléments k de K tels que kF soit inclus dans G, et l'on note F le sous-module (A : F).

On remarque aussitôt que :
tout sous-A-module de K inversible est de type fini ;
tout sous-A-module de K de type fini est un idéal fractionnaire ;
pour tous idéaux fractionnaires F non nul et G, (G : F) est un idéal fractionnaire ;
si un idéal fractionnaire F est inversible alors F est l'unique idéal fractionnaire H tel que H.F = A. Par conséquent :
F est inversible si et seulement si le produit F.F est égal à A tout entier,
si F est inversible alors pour tout sous-A-module G de K, (G : F) = G.F ;
l'ensemble des idéaux fractionnaires inversibles forme un groupe abélien (pour le produit défini plus haut), dont le neutre est l'anneau A lui-même.

Caractérisations des anneaux de Dedekind
La définition d'un anneau de Dedekind adoptée par de nombreux auteurs, et reprise dans l'article Anneau de Dedekind est : anneau (commutatif unitaire) intègre, noethérien, intégralement clos, et dont tout idéal premier non nul est maximal. Nous la reprenons ici, mais nous verrons qu'elle équivaut à celle due à Dedekind (anneau dont tout idéal non nul est inversible), plus adaptée à l'objectif d'un analogue, en termes d'idéaux, du théorème fondamental de l'arithmétique.

Il en résulte immédiatement que si A est un anneau de Dedekind alors :
le groupe des idéaux fractionnaires inversibles est le plus gros qu'on puisse espérer : il est constitué de l'ensemble Fr (A) de tous les idéaux fractionnaires non nuls (car un tel idéal est de la forme dJ = J.(dA) avec J idéal de A non nul de A donc inversible) ;
le groupe Fr (A) est le groupe abélien libre sur l'ensemble P(A) des idéaux premiers non nuls de A, c'est-à-dire que tout idéal fractionnaire se décompose de manière unique en un produit fini de puissances positives ou négatives d'idéaux premiers (l'existence d'une telle décomposition pour les idéaux fractionnaires se déduit de celle pour les idéaux, et de l'écriture ci-dessus d'un idéal fractionnaire ; l'unicité également, en se ramenant, par produit, à des puissances positives) ;
un idéal fractionnaire est un idéal de A si et seulement si toutes les puissances, dans sa décomposition en produit d'idéaux premiers, sont positives (« si » est immédiat, « seulement si » se déduit de la fin du théorème).

Valuation

On suppose ici que A est un anneau vérifiant la propriété 2 du théorème précédent, et toutes ses conséquences (propriétés 3 à 5, intégrité, noethérianité, unicité de la décomposition en premiers). On va expliciter les valuations sur A qui permettent de compléter la preuve de 2 ⇒ 1 dans ce théorème. Dans un premier temps, on se fixe idéal premier non nul P :
.

L'unicité de la décomposition en facteurs premiers des idéaux fractionnaires permet, comme pour les entiers naturels ou les rationnels, de définir une valuation sur le groupe multiplicatif Fr(A) :
L'application vP qui à un idéal fractionnaire F non nul associe l'exposant de P dans sa décomposition en idéaux premiers, et qui associe à l'idéal nul la valeur infinie, est appelée valuation sur Fr(A) en P.

Des résultats du paragraphe précédent on déduit immédiatement que pour tous  :

Ceci permet de définir une valuation sur K en restreignant vP aux idéaux fractionnaires principaux non nuls :

l'application qui à un élément k du corps des fractions K de A associe vP(kA) est appelée valuation sur K en P. Cette application est encore notée vP.

Sur K, la famille de valuations (vP), quand P parcourt maintenant l'ensemble P(A) des idéaux premiers non nuls, vérifie en outre :
Pour tout élément non nul x de A, vP(x) n'est strictement positif que pour un ensemble fini d'idéaux  (et est nul pour les autres).
Autrement dit, x n'appartient qu'à un nombre fini d'idéaux premiers.
« Théorème d'approximation » : Soient  distincts,  et . Il existe alors  tel que

Groupe des classes d'idéaux

Les idéaux fractionnaires principaux non nuls forment un sous-groupe du groupe des idéaux fractionnaires non nuls. Le groupe quotient est appelé groupe des classes. Si A est l'anneau des entiers algébriques d'un corps de nombres alors son groupe des classes est d'ordre fini. Ce résultat est une des clés permettant de résoudre des équations diophantiennes et particulièrement celle liée au dernier théorème de Fermat.

Toutes ces propriétés sont étudiées aussi, dans le cadre plus simple des entiers quadratiques, dans l'article Idéal de l'anneau des entiers d'un corps quadratique.

Idéaux divisoriels
Soit F un idéal fractionnaire non nul de A.

Notons F l'intersection de tous les idéaux fractionnaires principaux qui contiennent F.

C'est un idéal fractionnaire non nul, et même : F = (F).

On dit que F est divisoriel si F = F, ou encore si F est l'intersection d'une famille non vide d'idéaux fractionnaires principaux.

F est le plus petit idéal divisoriel contenant F.

Si G est divisoriel alors (G : F) est divisoriel.

One of Singapore's most appealing aspects for visitors is the total organisation of a city-state where every works the way it's supposed to. Exemplary of this national trait is LimoCars Singapore, a friendly, efficient company that provides transport for locals and visitors alike who seek to get around town in comfort and privacy. As a bonus for car aficionados, LimoCars Singapore has one rather unusual vehicle in its fleet; the Mitsuoka Galue, a Japanese luxury car rarely seen in Japan, let alone in other countries, certainly makes a statement both inside and out. A big Rolls-Royce at the front and Cadillac in the back, the Mitsuoka Galue integrates the nicest characteristics of the finest automobiles and combines them into a single car. Among other marques in the LimoCars Singapore fleet are the more familiar but no less upscale names of Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, and Bentley.
Even in a place like Singapore with an excellent public transport system, there are times when a private car can make a visit much more enjoyable. Having a car and driver waiting at the airport for a late-night arrival or being taken to Changi for an early-morning departure are the obvious moments when private transport comes in very handy. For families with small children or elderly parents, for corporate executives for whom time is money, or for busy shoppers accumulating too many packages to carry comfortably on the MRT, getting around town with LimoCars Singapore is a lot more agreeable than battling the elements in a hot and humid climate.
Aside from the convenience of private transport, there is the friendly driver whose knowledge of the city comes in handy when looking for places to explore and easier ways to get to them. Despite travellers' familiarity with Singapore's CBD attractions such as Little India, Chinatown, and Orchard Road, there are several attractions outside the city centre that are nice to visit by car. Especially for visitors interested in the natural side of Singapore, trips to the Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, and Little Guilin to the northeast of the CBD are a breeze. Further west is the famous Jurong Bird Park and the Singapore Discovery Centre.
Transit passengers can make the most of their hours in Singapore with a private tour customised to personal preferences, while corporate groups can hire a van or bus for their transport needs when in town for meetings and conferences. Whatever the requirement, the locally owned LimoCars Singapore provides the right vehicle at a surprisingly reasonable price.

Half of China's chemical plants pose severe eco-risk
Official watchdogs in China have reported that almost half of the vast country's chemical factories pose 'major environmental risks'.

The State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) carried out an environmental risk assessment for over 7,500 chemical and petro-chemical installations and concluded that 45% of them were a serious threat.
The vast majority of the plants considered – 81% of them – were located on a river or lake or in a densely-populated area.
The state-controlled Xinhua news agency reported the deputy director of SEPA, Pan Yue, as saying: "Such geographical distribution poses grave environmental risks. It's the fundamental reason behind soaring water pollution accidents since last year.
"Unless effective risk prevention measures are taken, it would be impossible to check the trend of surging environmental accidents."
The study was carried out in the wake of the Sonhua River disaster last year, where tonnes of benzene and other pollutants contaminated the waterway after an explosion at a chemical plant (see related story).
SEPA had ordered 3,745 of the plants reviewed to step up safety and 49 to relocate and US$1.8 billion has been allocated to introduce measures to reduce the risk of environmental damage at the plants.
Between January to April this year, SEPA received reports of 49 major pollution incidents, 13 of which its classified as serious.
Just last Sunday, July 9, a chlorine leak from a plant in the northern province of Ningxia poisoned a large number of residents and more than 160 were hospitalised.
Pan said that while investment would go some way to reduce the risks, there needed to be legislative changes if the environment was to be properly protected "Otherwise, environmental accidents will continue to occur and public environmental safety cannot be guaranteed."
His colleague Zhu Guangyao, also a deputy director at SEPA, recently warned that environmental pollution could put the brakes on China's rapid economic growth, with damage caused and the subsequent remediation likely to cost a staggering 10% of the country's GDP.
The government has promised to strengthen environmental protection and solve major problems this year to "safeguard interests of the people and maintain social harmony and stability."
A priority of the job is to guarantee safety of drinking water.

Meet Zulema Arroyo Farley: The Latina Medium
Shirley Gomez
Zulema Arroyo Farley grew up having a very special gift that few human beings in the world have been able to experience. At five years of age, Arroyo had her first paranormal experience. Although for Arroyo's mother, they were imaginary friends, the Medium already knew that she could communicate with the spirits. When she was eight years old, this Puerto Rican native had the first live appearance. A premonition that would change her life forever. "I had the first live and color appearance when I was eight years old. As if I am seeing a person. It was my paternal grandfather who wanted to tell me he would die," Arroyo narrated. "That was the premonition of his death."
"Throughout my life I have always known that I am different," said Arroyo Farley. "I had premonitions that would involve me in traffic accidents, but it is not until 2013 that I really had an experience that changed me." According to the Medium, she received the visit of a spirit who had passed in the apartment she lives in New York, and for the first time she decides to talk about her gift.
"Saving all that information and not accepting it was what caused me to live with anxiety all my life," Arroyo Farley revealed. "What motivated me to finally accept the gift and not suppress it, and decide that I would serve people, the world, was when a well-known medium called MaryAnn DiMarco, not only validated my gift, but she told me ' Zulema you can no longer suppress it. You are being forced,' because it was happening more often."
For Arroyo Farley, the purpose of connecting with her relatives, and friends was deeper, and as she wrote on her website, "hidden very deep inside" she "was unequivocally seeking affirmation on" her "lifelong psychic medium suspicions from an expert."
"MaryAnn brought me face-to-face with my gift for the first time in my life. It was impossible to deny it any more. After many years of soul searching for my life's purpose, for that 'aha' moment, I decided to completely embrace it and accept my intuitive aptitudes as a gift from God with abundant gratitude," she said.
After breaking the news to her husband, she came public in 2018. "Or I accepted myself as I am and continue to live my life as I had lived it or finally decide that I will accept it and serve [others]," she said. "It is not so easy to say that you will serve [others], it is not just deciding. You are exposing yourself, you are opening yourself to a world where many people tend to say that it is a gift from the devil," said the Latina Medium. "I have never felt more peace and happiness with who I am. I am free. I am me. And I finally found where I belong!"
Since July 2018 Arroyo Farley has made appearances on Telemundo Network's Un Nuevo Día and Univision Network's Despierta América, radio shows across the United States. She also does readings for celebrities and is the first medium ever to read live on Spanish television the live audience.

Home Politics & Society Secrets
on: April 28, 2017 In: Politics & Society, This Week in ChinaTags: No Comments
The most interesting stuff out there, ladies and gentlemen, is the saga of Guo Wengui, the billionaire with a bag of secrets who apparently is holed up in an apartment in Manhattan. He was one hour into an originally scheduled three-hour interview with VOA when it was suddenly ended for reasons not made clear, and Beijing issued an alert through Interpol for his arrest.
His secrets, or maybe baseless allegations, about corruption at the top of the China pyramid, who knows, are partially out and partially not. But in many ways, it is all a re-run of the fascinating case of Ling Jihua, who a couple of years ago sent his younger brother to the States with a similar bag of secrets, the purpose of which was, apparently, to provide protection in the cutthroat world of Beijing politics. It didn't work, and Ling Jihua was arrested, or toppled, depending on your point of view. The younger brother, the unfortunate owner of the name Ling Wancheng, is presumably under CIA/FBI protection, the bag of secrets presumably got shared, and the Chinese have presumably been warned not to try anything. Presumably (excuse the repetition) ditto all round with Mr Guo.
We await with baited breath the next installment in his story, which inevitably impacts on the backroom horsetrading in the leadup to the 19th Congress in October. Not that we claim to understand any of this. We are chained in a position from which we can only see the shadows cast by the fire on the wall opposite us. But it feels like a big deal. For Beijing to demand (presumably), and for VOA to accept the termination of a program in midstream, is unprecedented.
The Ling family names, by the way, are a cute reflection of the modern history of this country. The Ling family, obviously loyal insiders, had three sons in the 1950s, and named them consecutively Ling Xiangmu (project), Ling Jihua (plan) and Ling Wancheng (finished). Who needs normalcy in the face of such richness? Enjoy the weather!

I got this one from Jason Steffens over at Antioch Road. What can I say, he's on a role!
Jared Bridges over at TruePravda writes about Family Christian Stores deciding to open its stores up on Sunday. TruePravda argues FCS shouldn't be ashamed of running a business, but don't call your business a ministry. You may sell some stuff that helps people to grow closer to God, but you may just as well sell stuff that simply slaps God's name on it in order to appeal to the Christian consumer.
I commented on Jared's post about my confusion over the whole Christian marketplace thing. I used Rick Warren's "Purpose Driven xxxxxx" series of books, videos, etc. as an example since I just recently covered one of the books in a small group. I can't help but think that there's something wrong with this whole profiting from your ministry. You have a right to make a living and even become rich, but should you make a living and even become rich off your ministry?
It?s good to see I'm not the only one questioning business vs. ministry and trying to figure out what source we (Christians) should strive to pay the bills with, and what we shouldn?t.

What, more mistakes?! I'm afraid so. Or rather, one more mistake which is very, very bad. This mistake would have caused you to lose not one, but two of your Tangomon when you lost a battle, and honestly, I haven't a clue why it didn't take away one of your Tangomon every single time you fought.
In any case, the problem is now fixed, and version 1.2.1 has been released.
Tangomon 1.1 has been released. Unlike the last release, this is a full release, with binaries for Windows and GNU/Linux.
Tangomon 1.0 has now been released! Because of some issues, this is currently a source-only release. I will work on packaging this into binaries with PyInstaller at a later date.

This week we are kicking off the John Hay "We're ALL In" Annual Fund Campaign. The campaign is a three-week fund-raising effort which will run from October 27 to November 17, 2017. The Annual Fund Campaign is a critical fund-raising effort for our school. It represents 30% of our total budget for the year and directly funds the programs that benefit our students every day – programs like math and reading specialist teachers, enriched arts and technology, and reduced class sizes. These programs simply cannot exist without the support of our school community. Keep an eye out for a red envelope coming home in your child's red folder! For more information, please visit our Annual Fund page.

Pretrial Release Subcommittee

Jury Pool Information
Implicit Bias
Traffic Stop Data Analysis
Prison Data
30% of all traffic stops on North Carolina roads
are of Black drivers
Research consistently indicates that people of color are stopped more often than whites. Though Black drivers are on 22% of the North Carolina population, they are 30% of all drivers stopped in North Carolina roads. Not every researcher or criminal justice stakeholders believes that comparison to the general population is the correct benchmark for this statistical analysis. See below for more information about pertinent North Carolina law and recent studies on the available traffic stops data.
Traffic Stop Data Statistics
North Carolina was the first in the nation to pass a "racial profiling" law (N.C.G.S. § 143B-903) that mandated the collection of ethnic and racial data at all police stops. Dr. Frank Baumgartner, Department of Political Science, UNC-Chapel Hill, conducted the first state-wide analysis of the data mandated by the statute above. He was asked to do this study by NC-CRED's predecessor organization, the NCAJ Task Force on Racial Bias.
Black Drivers0%
Latino Drivers0%
Dr. Frank Baumgartner found that Black drivers are 77% more likely to be searched, and Latino driver 96% more likely to be searched, than White drivers after a traffic stop.
See the Task Force Report
Factors Contributing to Disparities
Other scholars have pointed out that there are multiple possible explanations for the data findings of racial disparities in traffic stops. Dr. Deborah Weisel of North Carolina Central University and on behalf of the North Carolina Association of the Chiefs of Police, wrote a 115-page report reviewing the literature and discussing the shortcomings of the data. She concludes that there are a variety of possible explanations for the apparent racially biased stopping patterns, including:
Police bias—the theory that more minorities are pulled over due to implicit (and sometimes explicit) biases on the part of individual officers.
Deployment practices—there are important variations in police presence and stops determined by high-crime areas. These areas are usually economically disadvantaged, where a larger proportion of minorities live; therefore this theory says that a high, necessary number of stops in these areas will lead to a disproportionately large number of minorities being pulled over in the general datasets.
Differential offending—the theory that crime rates are higher for some racial or ethnic groups.
Best Practices for Traffic Stop Data
NC ACLU issued a great report on the history of data collection and the challenges facing North Carolina as we continue to struggle with what the traffic stop data can and cannot tell us. ACLU-North Carolina recommends that:
Law enforcement should be required to record the exact location of each traffic stop.
Law enforcement should be trained on the importance and benefits of data collection.
NC-CRED Position
We support continued collection of traffic stop data.
We believe that the most important change that needs to be made to the data collection statute is that the geographical location data (GIS coordinates) and time of the stop be automatically added to the data collection form. In this way we can have an informed discussion about the influence of deployment practices on data outcomes.
We decline to conclude that differential offending explains the disproportionalities found in the traffic stop data.

Our actions and programs to protect and restore Puget Sound do not always have a simple relationship to environmental results. Several programs may act together to bring about the changes we observe in the environment. Actions taken today may not result in an environmental response for a number of years. And, the positive results of our actions and programs might be lost because of the increasing stresses from our region's rapidly growing human population.
Vital signs, such as the environmental indicators that we track and present in this document, offer a simplified view of a complex system. Selection of a limited number of indicators necessarily limits the breadth and diversity of information that is presented. Turning complex data into simple indicators can sacrifice some of the richness of the underlying information.

Rep. John Lewis To Be Honored At Civil Rights Museum
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS, Associated Press
\JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The first time John Lewis traveled to Mississippi in 1961, he was arrested and jailed with other Freedom Riders, black and white, who challenged segregation in a bus station.
Lewis, who is African-American, remembers going into a restroom labeled for white men only. A Jackson police officer told him and other young people in the group to leave. They refused.
"The next words he said: 'You're under arrest.' And that was my introduction to the state of Mississippi and the city of Jackson," Lewis told The Associated Press on Thursday in a phone interview from Atlanta.
After 37 days of being locked up in sweltering local jails and a notorious state prison on the disorderly conduct charge, Lewis was released. He continued working for racial equality in Mississippi and across the South in the 1960s, and as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, he helped organize the 1963 March on Washington. Georgia voters elected him as a Democrat to the U.S. House in 1986, and he remains in office.
Lewis, 78, returns to Mississippi on Friday, one of five people being honored for advancing civil rights.
A private group called Friends of Mississippi Civil Rights organized a gala Friday and symposium Saturday to celebrate the new Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.
Lewis' jail mug shot hangs in a gallery at the museum with those of other Freedom Riders. He was scheduled to speak at the museum's state-sponsored opening in December but canceled his appearance because Republican Gov. Phil Bryant invited President Donald Trump.
Lewis said Thursday that he has never met Trump but, "I felt that I couldn't be there with him after he said some unbelievable things about individuals and about groups — whether it's members of the African-American community or the Latino community or the Dreamers," younger immigrants who arrived in the country illegally as children and have been protected under President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. "I just couldn't be there with him."
The opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the adjoining Museum of Mississippi History capped the state's bicentennial observation.
The two museums are in downtown Jackson and are separate entities under a single roof. They are a short distance from the bus station where Lewis and the other Freedom Riders were arrested. The general museum skims 15,000 years of history, from the Stone Age to modern times. The civil rights museum concentrates on the intense period of social change from 1945 to 1976.
Lewis grew up south of Montgomery, Alabama, and was 15 years old when a black 14-year-old from Chicago, Emmett Till, was lynched while visiting relatives near the small town of Money, Mississippi. A cousin who was with Till said he had whistled at a white woman in a country store.
"I kept thinking that if something like this could happen to Emmett Till, it could happen to cousins of mine that were living in Buffalo, New York, or were living in Detroit, Michigan, when they came to Alabama to visit during the summer," Lewis said.
One of the other people being honored Friday for civil rights work is Rita Schwerner Bender, who demanded answers from Mississippi officials after her first husband, Michael Schwerner, and two other activists, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman, were killed outside Philadelphia, Mississippi, in 1964 — a case that became known by its FBI name, "Mississippi Burning."
Bender, now an attorney in Seattle, said Wednesday that in accepting the award in Mississippi, she intends to urge people to stand up for justice.
"Most social change doesn't happen without a demand side," she said.
Bender said she also would emphasize the importance of public education: "How can we be a thriving democracy which provides for the intellectual development of all our people, for the health of our people, for our place as contributors on the world stage, without high quality education?"
The other honorees are Ruby Bridges, a Tylertown, Mississippi, native who faced threats and ostracism when she became the first black child to integrate a public school in New Orleans in 1960; former state Rep. Robert Clark, who in 1967 became the first African-American of the 20th Century to win a seat in the Mississippi Legislature; and Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi.

Parliament Health and Services Committee Visits Refurbished Multipurpose Hall
This is the first site visit made by the HMSC – the aim is to get firsthand information on the standards and safety protocols being established at quarantine sites.

Members of the health and medical services committee (HMSC) of Parliament visited the newly refurbished multipurpose hall, the latest addition to declared quarantine sites in the country.
One of the key functions of the health and medical services committee (HMSC) is to examines, scrutinize, and make recommendations on matters referred to it by Parliament or Government on matters relating to health and medical services. In this case the committee is looking into preparedness efforts undertaken by government to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
This is the first site visit made by the HMSC – the aim is to get firsthand information on the standards and safety protocols being established at quarantine sites. This compliments the work the committee is doing, and an important feature of parliamentary committee inquiries.
The refurbished and repurposed multipurpose hall quarantine site was made possible through funding support from Australia and New Zealand.
In a recent statement Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare says that the multipurpose hall quarantine site will be used as an isolation ward for low risk COVID-19 cases, such as asymptomatic patients.
Pending site visits in the Province and Honiara will be made upon advise from the Quarantine Site Camp Management Team, Ministry of Health, and the COVID-19 Oversight Committee as these are no go zones.
Health and Medical Services Committee members are:
1. Hon. Charles Sigoto - Chairman
2. Hon. Lily Maefai – Committee member
3. Hon. Dr. Tautai Angikimua Kaitu'u – Committee member
The National Parliament Office says that the committee's terms of reference states clearly that the committee has the the power to make such site visits. The site visits provide committee members an opportunity to scrutinize and make recommendations, if there are any, when it reports to Parliament.

Guide Shane Reynolds of Northwest Fishing Expeditions http://northwestfishingexp.com/ offers up some great information on bait, rod handling, and locations for keeper sturgeon. Fishing around Marcus Island and the mouth of the Kettle River produces a boat limit, lots of under size, and a couple oversize in a hot day of sturgeon fishing.
Watch to the end for an epic battle between NWFR member Lee Howe and ten foot, 300 pound old girl. This fish has girth! Lee fights it one on one to the end.
Filmed on location in July 2017, near the close of the first retention sturgeon fishery season in that area in nearly 20 years. This is what hot sturgeon fishing looks like.
I always wanted to do some sturgeon fishing what is best time and where.

CA Counseling Ban is Dead
Today, we are celebrating that the dangerous California AB 2943 bill is dead. This horrendous bill would have established government-enforced censorship of counselors who wanted to provide and consenting adults who wanted to receive talk therapy for unwanted same-sex attractions, behavior, or gender confusion. It also tried to ban sales of printed materials and books expressing the viewpoint that unwanted same-sex attractions or gender confusion can be reduced or eliminated.
The author of the bill, assembly member Evan Low, withdrew AB 2943, today being the last day of the legislative session. Low said: "I knew this was an emotionally charged issue, so I spent the past few months traveling up and down the state meeting with a wide variety of faith leaders."
"The dangerous bill that would ban counsel and even portions of the Bible is dead," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel.
This bill could have been used to ban the Bible, which directs people to trust in Jesus Christ to help them overcome unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion. Even a reference to portions of Scripture could be banned if used to support or promote change. For example, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 specifically refers to "men who practice homosexuality," and then states, "such were some of you," clearly indicating that through a relationship with Jesus Christ there is hope for change in this area and every other area that conflicts with God's design for each person.
If the bill had passed, Liberty Counsel was prepared to file a lawsuit regarding its significant constitutional violations. "Our lawsuit was ready to file. We were prepared to challenge this unconstitutional and dangerous bill if it passed. Thank God, this bill is now dead," said Staver.
Read our press release to see how this bill would have affected our clients.
This California bill ignored studies, including the Effects of Therapy on Religious Men Who Have Unwanted Same-Sex Attraction, that confirm that talk therapy is quite effective. This particular study shows the overwhelming effectiveness of people receiving counseling to reduce or eliminate their unwanted same-sex attractions, behaviors, or identity. More than two-thirds of those who participated had significant heterosexual shifts in sexual attraction, sexual identity, and behavior. They also experienced moderate-to-marked decreases in suicidality, depression, substance abuse, and increases in social functioning and self-esteem.

Freezing and Food – Do They Go Well Together?
One of the biggest problems we have with our food supply in the summer is that the heat makes storage of fresh meat almost impossible for any length of time because it spoils.
In the winter, we don't have that problem, but we do have a host of others. So, how do you keep food safely frozen in the winter, how do you store it, and what foods freeze well?
We're going to talk about that right now. Keep reading!
First, if you're in a survival situation and hoarding a food supply, you're probably in fine shape as long as you're in a place where you can store the food.
As a matter of fact, your freezer that runs on electric is still a fine place to store meat without power as long as it's outside and well below freezing out for most of the time. If it gets warmer than that consistently for more than a couple of hours per day, then you need to pack the freezer with snow or ice.
That being said, if you keep the freezer closed after the temperature goes above freezing, it'll keep everything frozen for another couple of days.
Regarding ice, it stays frozen longer when it's in large chunks, so use soda bottles or milk jugs, then pack them in your cooler. That way, you're killing two birds with one stone – you have ice to keep your food frozen and you also have drinking water when it thaws out.
Another way to keep food frozen if you don't have an outside freezer is to pack it in the snow. This is kind of remedial and you run the chance of losing it to predators, but it's better than nothing.
Just as your ice stays frozen longer when it's in bigger chinks, so does our meat. Either cut it into large chunks when you butcher it, buy it in roasts, or pack all the smaller pieces into one larger bag so that it'll freeze together.
Don't freeze it into chunks bigger than you and your family can eat in a couple of days so that you don't waste it.
If you have a place outside such as a storage building, you can improvise a cooler by building a cupboard, or even by hanging the meat whole in carcasses, covering it, so that the animals or bugs can't get into it. That'll work as long as the weather stays below freezing.
Just as there are some foods that can well and some that don't, there are also foods that freeze better than others. Meats, of course, freeze well, as do most vegetables and fruits. You can even freeze your jams and jellies as long as you don't have them in sealed containers.
Sour cream – most people say no, but I freeze mine all the time. The only thing I notice is that it separates a little bit, but I just stir it up and it's fine.
Sugar, as long as it's in an airtight, moisture-tight container. If not, it will absorb moisture and turn into a giant sugar cube.
Dried foods as long as they're in airtight containers.
These foods may freeze okay as part of a prepared dish such as a soup, but they don't do so well raw.
Mayonnaise, though only because it separates. You can always mix it back up. It may not be as pretty but it should taste fine.
Now that we've discussed how well most food freezes, we need to talk about how to protect those foods that can't be frozen. Of utmost importance are your canned goods. These are likely going to be staple items and if you lose them, you'll likely go hungry.
So how do you protect such foods? Well, the best answer is that you keep them inside. That sounds like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised by how many people new to canning try to store their foods outside in the storage shed or other such places.
Industrial-canned foods will burst, as will home-canned goods, though home-canned foods are more likely to blow the seal than actually explode. Either can happen though.
Another great way – an idea way, actually – to store your canned goods in a way that will keep them from getting either too cold or too hot is to keep them in a basement or, even better, a cellar. Both maintain a fairly constant temperature, but if you're going to use a basement, make sure that it's heated a bit, but not so much that it's above 70 degrees or so.
Another real danger to your stockpile that's secondary to freezing is moisture. When ice melts or when one side of a wall is cold and the other is hot, condensation can form that will run down onto shelves and soak your boxes, paper goods, and dried goods. Wet toilet paper sort of defeats the purpose and pasta that's absorbed pantry-shelf water isn't the best, either.
To combat this problem, it's always a good idea to store everything in airtight containers. The boxes are great, but they provide ready access for bugs, moisture, and anything else that would like to crawl in there. Also, varying temperatures will make pasta and rice go bad much faster.
The secret to protecting your stockpile is to know which foods freeze well and which ones don't. For the most part, no food is ruined by the process of freezing, at least nutritionally. Typically, it's just the texture that's damaged. It's another story if the container is damaged, such as it is when canned foods burst.
The best thing you can do for your stockpile is to keep everything in airtight containers if it's going to be exposed to temperatures that are going to be below freezing. If you're planning to use nature to keep your meets and other perishables frozen, store them in airtight containers too, so that animals can't get into them.
You have to make smart choices about your storage so your foods would freeze well, and you would safely preserve your food supply!


From the archives of the BBC this is one of a series of archived BBC programs from Tomorrows World, the BBC's program focusing on technology and future technologies.
A fascinating view from the past to how back then we'd thought we'd be living now. Worthy of seeing how well we can second guess our future.
This short film from presenter Michael Rod shows how an FM portable transceiver has been wired into the telephone network. At the time this was an illegal thing to do, other than with express permission from the Home Office.
This is the first Direct Dial prototype mobile phone. Prior to this the caller would have to be connected via a Telephone Operator as no direct dial facilities existed. With my fledgling Radio and Electronics career, my role was just prior to this change over and the mobile phones I made were so small they were built into and used an entire briefcase. Brick sized mobiles were the generation to come in four years time.
Its worth watching for the end comments where the passive non interest from the Post Office is as good as it gets compared to the comments from the Home Office. Look where we are now.
The whole series is priceless. From the office of the future to the then soon to be happening future event of when man eventually lands on the moon – the scientists argue the likelihood of the moon being like a jelly and the landing craft sinking into its surface – real fears that NASA had to consider at the time!

Q: useEffect runs for the old data I am trying to write a singleton class that will act as a local storage wrapper. I need this because wherever I use localstorage in my whole app, I need each of the items I set to have prefix. This prefix for sure changes, but at only one place, so  wrapper seems a good idea so that in my app, I don't have to pass prefix each time I use localStorage.
Here is my wrapper.
let instance;

class LocalStorage {

    constructor() {
        if(instance){
          return instance;
        }
        instance = this;
        instance.cachePrefix = null
    }

    _getKey(key, usePrefix) {
        return usePrefix ? `${this.cachePrefix}:${key}` : key;
    }

    setPrefix(prefix) {
        this.cachePrefix = prefix
    }

    set(key, value, usePrefix = true) {
        if(key == null) {
            return
        }

        localStorage.setItem(this._getKey(key, usePrefix),value)
    }

    get(key, usePrefix = true) {
        return localStorage.getItem(this._getKey(key, usePrefix));
    }

}

export const LocalStorageWrapper = new LocalStorage()

Now, where I import this class and call setPrefix, this piece is located in the very parent component tree, so we can say that this setPrefix will be called the first time.
Problem: Even though I call this setPrefix in the very parent, in that very parent, I have async call and when its result gets resolved, that's when I call setPrefix. Even though this is very fast, I am still not sure that this will work all the time.. It's possible that before this async call finishes, child component might start to render and it will try to use wrapper that won't have prefix set up...
I can't use hooks, because the whole react app is written with classes.
I'd appreciate your inputs what can be done here.
UPDATE THIS IS VERY PARENT PROVIDER IN THE TREE.
