When I use metric.type=compute.googleapis.com/instance/usage_time, i am able to get the metrics through postman through the below restapi call with compute.googleapis.com/
 https://monitoring.googleapis.com/v3/projects/<projectname>/timeSeries?key=XSDXCXCDDDDCDE#$#
    &interval.endTime=2020-06-14T19:58:17.140600Z&interval.startTime=2020-05-14T18:58:17.140600Z&filter=metric.type = "compute.googleapis.com/instance/cpu/usage_time" AND
        metric.labels.instance_name = "i-xyz"&aggregation.perSeriesAligner=ALIGN_SUM&aggregation.alignmentPeriod=3600s&pageSize=20

But when I want to get the agent metrics using agent.googleapis.com/agent it is not working I
https://monitoring.googleapis.com/v3/projects/?filter=metric.type="agent.googleapis.com/agent/usage_time"
I am getting the below 404 error for any agent metrics:

    }

Can anyone please help me how to get the agent metrics through postman?
Thanks

A: Looks like you're using:
filter=metric.type="agent.googleapis.com/agent/usage_time" when in fact it should be "agent.googleapis.com/cpu/usage_time". Make sure that you're using the correct prefix to monitor CPU usage. I think that's why you're getting 404.


Los Angles Chargers: Joey Bosa 1x Pro Bowler, Defensive Rookie of Year.
So looking at that information, Robinson has drafted "better" than over half the league. Each team with at least 2 pro-bowlers drafted in the last two seasons have made the playoffs.
We judge GMs by their draft picks. With the small sample we have of Robinson he is one of the best drafting GMs in the league.
While trying to find information, I looked at the free agent signings and pro bowls and all pro status is a tough way to judge success. Not many of these signings ended up in that type of success.
What is the level of success for a free agent signing?
Would Robinson be viewed as more successful in FA if he simply tried to address a position?
John Brown is the obvious guy we should have went after, based on his deal and the numbers he has put up. The other players could be debated as "disappointments" so far.
So looking at the draft comparison in the same window and thinking about free agency, how do you feel Robinson has been as a GM?
What constitutes a successful free agent signing?
What are your expectations for draft picks?
Lets discuss... Also lets keep in mind other GMs and try to look objectively at our GM compared to how the league does.
I think he's been fine. Mariota is struggling so the WRs are struggling and people are blaming the GM. If we sign Brown he probably has 20 receptions on this team at this point and people are calling it a bust. QB play is a large part of WR success and we've been up and down this season. Getting someone to push Taylor down to #4 would absolutely be helpful, but i don't think it's the real issue.
Biggest issue is the running game. If we so much as add Delanie Walker back into our offense we're looking a lot better in the passing game.
I think it's important to consider where the team was three seasons ago.
I don't think he has been bad at free agents/existing NFL players either. Logan Ryan is a massive success. Murray was a success before his injuries that he never seemed to come back from. Vaccaro looks great. The trades for Dennis Kelly and Correa look like they favor us. Ben Jones and Josh Kline were decent stop gaps for a short while. Rishard Matthews was good when he was here. Dion Lewis is a really good player. Butler has been the exception, but was really good last week.
These are the guys suiting up Monday that don't need to be replaced next off-season that were on the team before Robinson: Mariota, Lewan, Casey, Woodyard, Jones. That's it, and 3/5 have missed at least a full game due to injury.
He's not flawless, but compared to the rest of the league he's been pretty good. Fixing the run game and finding Walker's replacement will be big this off-season.
Robinson has been one of the 10 or so best GMs in the league as it relates to team building. Drafting is such a crap shoot for so many teams, even with guys who are considered brilliant when it comes to football, and he's managed to be pretty successful with that. I like the quote from Sean Payton from sometime last year after he got a question about finding Alvin Kamara so late in the draft, and his response was something along the lines of "well if we thought he was gonna be this good we'd have drafted him in the first". It goes to show how often luck can kinda factor in to drafting. Robinson took a roster that had won a combined 5 games in the previous two years combined, and then won 18 with it in the next two years.
I think he's proven he's pretty solid at building a roster.
What question will have to be answered is his hiring ability. After the first 4 weeks we all thought he was a genius for hiring this staff. LaFleur was pulling so many things out of the hat just to keep our MASH unit of an offense going, the defense was playing much better, and everything looked golden. While the defense has remained good, the offense has fallen off a cliff and a lot of the creativity we saw to start the season has disappeared.
I find it hard to believe LaFleur has just forgotten how to call a game(and I find myself wondering at times how much Vrabel gives input on offensive calls. He said he wanted to pass on the 2pt play, and maybe LaFleur wanted to as well, but him telling LaFleur that potentially impacted the play call). And in fairness to him 2 weeks ago the offensive play calling looked better against LAC, even with the decision to go empty backfield on the 2pt play, so maybe over the bye they'll have figured something out.
As well as the defense has played, I still have my worries about Vrabel. But I love the aggressiveness and I'm holding out hope that they've figured something out on offense. We'll see how it goes.
He picked a great situation to go into... GM wise... He had the #1 overall pick and a potential franchise qb in place (going into his 2nd year).
He turned that 1 pick into 6 total picks, al in the 3rd. Great trade, but ha was afforded that simply by being put into the situation he was put into.
So that trade ended up turning into a great starter, a young receiver with potential, and some depth.
Not exactly the greatest haul considering the sheer amount of quality picks we had to play with.
So the 2016 draft total landed 2 solid starters... can't scoff at their all pro accolades, but neither is playing at that level currently... A few depth players... Johnson, Henry, Sims, and Sharpe... And 4 players no longer on the roster.
Judging a draft 3 years later is hard enough, judging one less than 2 years later is almost impossible. Our of the 2017 draft, Adoree looks good, Davis has potential... Brown's looking good... And that's it... 3 are no longer on the roster... And Taylor, Smith, and Levin have looked way over their head when given playing time.
Damn @ragevsuall17 have a snickers, you're too real when you're hungry!!
Idk how you can call him anything other than good after back to back winning seasons, a playoff appearance, and a playoff victory considering we've been basement dwellers for the last decade.
It's like the whole VY only wins argument.
I'm not saying JRob is bad... but he's not the golden child he was heralded as after 1 offseason.
The 2017 draft is too early to grade... but we have 2 potential good starters ... a 3rd who's flashing potential, and if nothing else could be an effective sub package player... and at this point, not much else.
The FA signings, as stated above... 3 good signings (being generous, as Rishard is gone for nothing after 2 years)... 8 bad signings... and 10 blah signings (some of those are generously qualified as blah).
Just looking at the track record... it's not the best.
But he's had some GWRBI's resulting in wins... so he definitely gets some credit, I guess..
So by comparison standards who is the best of the GM world and could you give examples to support that?
Even with knowledge of our team, I had to go back and look at some of the pick up... I'm not gonna do that level of research for other teams.
But again... There was some talent on the roster (listed that core above for the last couple years)... Came into a good situation with a "franchise" qb coming off a good rookie year and the #1 pick. Traded it for a bounty... Had 19 picks over 2 drafts... 9 of those in the first 3 rounds... He's added 2 players to the core of this team in 2.5 years through the draft and another via FA.
I know all gms hit and miss... But i'm pretty sure his hit and miss % is not better than average.
Well I guess that's my purpose of the thread. What is good for a GM?
Is there a clear level or standard that he should be graded on?
We've seen GM's with picks and they mess up. Partriots routinely cut 2nd round or 3rd round picks after a couple of years. How many great draft picks come to mind when you think of the Patriots in the last 4-5 years?
In general what do you think is the expectation for a draft class? Have 3 starters come from each? 2 and a backup? All be contributors?
Me creating this thread found that a lot of drafts aren't producing consistently productive players. (Last 3 years). Let me rephrase that. Names that someone not following the team would instantly know.We know Jayon Brown is playing well but would a Cardinals fan know that?
I'm sincerely curious to know from you and others what could a GM not just our GM but a NFL GM do to be considered a successful one.
Added 2 players to the core through the draft and one via FA? When you say to the core of the team do you mean all pros that will be lifetime Titans? There are generally a lot of relatively average players that make up the core of a team for a season.
I'm going to leave out 2018 because we can't judge those guys off 7 games, but these were all positive additions in 2 years.
Jack Conklin, Adoree Jackson, Jayon Brown, Corey Davis, Kevin Byard.
Logan Ryan, Rishard Matthews, Ben Jones, Demarco Murray.
Matthews leaving after two years doesn't mean that he wasn't still a very good signing. Murray was a good move for us at the time and we would still do it today. Davis is a beast, but stats won't reflect it because Mariota isn't throwing outside the numbers 10+ yds down the field.
I don't know what average is for a GM over those two years, but I would have to guess his successful additions were at the very least average. He's certainly hasn't been bullet proof.
Year three is going to depend a lot in Evans and Landry turning out to be very good because Butler is already looking like a bad signing and we had so few picks. Lewis looks good. Correa trade looks solid.


Sometimes life is exceptional, other times it can be pretty tough. Regardless of how you feel, the truth remains that the message of Easter is, 'Jesus is the living hope'. At Mueller, we believe that as a result of sin entering the world, we all need the 'living hope' which only Jesus can provide. Education is more than the facts students learn or the skills they acquire. We hope that students will see that the joy and kindness on campus is an expression of the living hope which Jesus has given each one of us.
Easter megaChapel is a whole 2 weeks before Easter, but the message that Jesus is our living hope is always timely. Next Friday we will have two megaChapel services. Primary students will have megaChapel at the beginning of the day, and Secondaries at 2pm. Parents are welcome at both.

A Personal Note from Cam - Dated January 10, 2023
Cameron M. Thornton, CFP®, MBA
A Personal Note from Cam – Dated January 10, 2023
At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, it is traditional to sing Auld Lang Syne, a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to music in 1799. Auld Lang Syne calls us to welcome the new without forgetting old acquaintances.
As we begin the new year of 2023, many of the concerns and apprehensions of 2022 are old acquaintances we will not forget, as they seem to be following us into the new year.
I am particularly conscious of the rising levels of violence in our world that threatens our security, our freedom and our sense of peace.
As I look around today, I shake my head. What I see happening in our nation, in our government and in our communities is people turning against one another. I ask myself how can that be when America was founded on principles of freedom, trust and accountability and saying "in God we trust?"
As my friend Fr. Joachim Rego, C.P., Superior General of the Passionists shared in his Christmas Message, "while we may be satisfied with seeing peace as the absence of war, fighting, and conflicts, true peace is 'shalom' which is a Hebrew word conveying the sense of peace as tranquility, harmony and wholeness."
I wish you shalom every day!
Living in Gratitude
Trevor had a conversation last week with one of our clients. She told him something she does which helps her focus on living in a state of gratitude. She has something she calls a "Thankful Jar." Each week, she writes a note for something that she was thankful for during the previous week. On New Year's Day, she has 52 notes that she reads through to reflect back on the previous year.
Wow, talk about a wonderful idea and a terrific way to keep your life focused on living in a state of gratitude!
A Look Back – Resilience for All the World to See
Ukraine defied the odds and has gone toe-to-toe with Russia over the past ten plus months. What most concluded would be a quick Russian victory has become a stalemate. The incredible resilience of the Ukrainian people has become an inspiration for all of us as we have had to confront the challenges this war inflicted on the global economy.
I believe 2023 will continue the stagnation of this conflict while Russia's growing isolation from the world stage will cause continued shortages in commodities and energy.
These shortages should be less drastic than in 2022, but a reopening of China's economy could change this dynamic.
China's zero-tolerance approach to COVID-19 has resulted in meager economic output from one of the world's largest economies. As China loosens policies, we may see higher demand for resources; however, this should also help ease the inventory shortages many companies have faced.
An Uneven Economy
Looking back, 2022 was a tough year!
We had the highest inflation in 40 years. Inflation is caused by too much money chasing too few goods. We had too much money due to the COVID pandemic and too few goods due to supply chain disruptions, primarily due to China. Hence inflation hit its highest-level last year in 40 years.
Both stocks and bonds ended the year lower, which is a very rare occurrence.
The Federal Reserve changed course and began tightening significantly as they raised interest rates multiple times. Keep in mind that the Fed has a dual mandate. On one hand they need to keep inflation and unemployment in check. If inflation slows, the Fed will slow. At this moment, the Fed is not worried yet about unemployment.
Although year-over-year inflation appears to be slowing, the Federal Reserve has indicated there is still a long way to go to get inflation under control.
So, the calendar has changed to 2023, but the story remains the same. Inflation, rising interest rates and an economic slowdown will probably continue dominating the news cycle for the first half of the year.
Interest rates will most likely continue to rise as the Fed uses rates as its primary tool against inflation. My best guess at the moment is that the Fed Funds Rate will peak at 5.25% - 6.00% during this rate increase cycle.
While memories of recent recessions invoke frustration for many of us, if in fact we have a recession in 2023, it will most likely look and feel drastically different from the Tech Bubble burst in 2001 or the Global Financial Crisis in 2008.
In 2023, I would expect we see uneven slowdowns industry by industry rather than a wide spread economic decline.
A colleague once shared a story that I believe helps better explain the potential impacts that can occur during a recession referencing the "wave cheer" that one might witness going through a crowd at a ball game.
Picture the "wave cheer" going through the crowd at a sporting event. You can see your turn approaching from across the stadium, and when it reaches your section, you stand up and cheer, then you go back to enjoying the game as the wave moves on. Although the wave moves through the entire stadium, only a few sections experience the ups and downs at any one time.
With that thought in mind, watch for recessionary conditions to ripple from one industry to another, causing brief slowdowns before a return to growth will occur in the U.S. and worldwide economies.
Keep Investing Simple
With low interest rates and easy money over the past decade, some investors desired higher returns. They did this by using riskier investments. In 2022, these dynamics changed.
With increasing interest rates as the catalyst, this led to a flight from growth companies with a selloff in technology stocks leading the way. Other highly speculative assets, such as cryptocurrencies, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), and non-fungible tokens (NTFs), also saw dramatic crashes.
The reality of 2022 is that there was nowhere for investors to hide. Economic uncertainty and geopolitical turmoil spread fear into all areas of the financial markets.
The encouraging news is that stocks are forward-looking. The drop in prices last year considers these ongoing challenges and also anticipated headwinds in 2023.
In my opinion, 2023 holds far more upside for each of us. Trevor's and my task are to help you avoid speculative investments and build and monitor a diversified portfolio.
It is impossible to predict what the year will bring. From experience, Trevor and I know the value of maintaining a long-term perspective when investing. After all, market volatility presents opportunities to either make mistakes or take advantage of the mistakes of others. It is essential to have an investment plan and stick with it.
If you have questions about your investment plan or investment strategy, please reach out to Trevor or me at (818) 841-1746.

Longley Park drives for a record-breaking year
A HUDDERSFIELD car dealer has reported another record-breaking year.
Henryk ZientekBusiness Correspondent
Sign up to FREE email alerts from YorkshireLive - ExaminerLive Daily
Longley Park Motors, based at Paddock, has celebrated its 30th anniversary with its best-ever year for used car sales in 2011 – following record sales for new car sales in 2009 and 2010.
John Waite, managing director of the KIA dealership, said a combination of stylish models and industry-leading warranty had given customers confidence to buy.
He said: "What has made our new cars so popular with local drivers for the past three years is now proving an irresistible offer on our pre-owned cars too.
"In 1981 when the business started, motoring and standards of manufacturing were a world apart from what they are now.
"We could not have dreamed of the quality, technology and reliability we now offer.
"Thirty years ago we set out to make buying a car both a satisfying and comfortable experience – and as long as I am in charge that will never change."


Since I mentioned this in the Why do you craft? post, I thought I'd show a photo of one of my recent papercraft projects. I joined a Yahoo group called Art for Cures because someone on Imagination Tribe suggested I might want to do it after my breast cancer diagnosis. This group does swaps with a charity in mind. That means that you send in your project and swap with others in the group, but then some are taken out to use in auction pieces to donate money to the charity for the theme.
The first one was Musical Italy and the donations will go benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. These are "inchies" and just as you would imagine they are 1 inch square. This is much smaller than I'm used to working, especially as we had to do 88 of them! Luckily, Ria- the amazing coordinator of the swaps, has a tutorial for creating 88 inchies from one sheet of paper. Then you can cut them up and embellish or not, as you please. Mine are on the top, Chloe's are on the bottom.
The next swap is very personal for me because it will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The theme is Woman as Goddess. When I started thinking about how my breasts have served me over the years I realized that the times I most felt like a goddess were when I was pregnant and when I was nursing (I nursed my two for a total of three years). I searched online for some inspiration for goddess images and found something similar to the ones I used. I hand carved three stamps, a Pregnant Goddess, a Nursing Goddess and a Survivor Goddess. I really like how these came out!
These are Chloe's I think they are very sweet and though she won't say, they seem to me to represent the Young Goddess.
The Art for Cures group has plans for swaps to benefit children's charities, Lupus and the homeless. It's been fun to do and the next one we are signed up for is a paper angel swap. I can't wait to see what the plans are for that one!


We made a dive into our archives and found several lovely, old traditional patterns for children and adults. Here you will find classics as Nordkapp (North Cape) for ladies and Nancy and Haukeli for children as well as many more unknown designs. We modernized all these treasures both with colors and shapes. This resulted in a beautiful meeting between tradition and fashion – timeless garments with the unique Nordic character. High fashion garments now as well as then.

NPP is anti-development - Mahama
Fri, 19 Aug 2016 Source: Class FM
President John Mahama has said the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has a long history of being anti-development and has, therefore, urged voters to reject the party and retain the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in office in the December polls.
Speaking at the inauguration of a clinic at Kokompeh in Takoradi as part of his campaign tour of the Western Region, Mr Mahama said: "Dr. Nkrumah was a man of vision, he always thought about the future of the country. When he built the Akosombo dam, the UP tradition said it was just a flamboyant project but today the dam is still providing major parts of the country with electricity. The same people who ousted Nkrumah because they said he was embezzling state funds and undertaking unnecessary projects have metamorphosed to become the NPP."
"In Cape Coast, our founder, Jerry John Rawlings advised us to beware of them because they've been in politics for a long time. They only change their names but do not change their character.
"It is these same people who say development is not edible. They say the roads, hospitals are not edible and that my government is only incurring huge debts and embezzling state funds claiming we have undertaken projects. They also say Ghanaians rather need money in their pockets, they sung this same song during Nkrumah's time, today, they are at it again."
President Mahama is seeking re-election for a second term. His main rival in the race is the NPP's Nana Akufo-Addo.


I need to know that to see if it is compatible with Republic Wireless.
I got lucky and found one on eBay that worked with Republic Wireless on their older second plan. It was a Moto G3, an old model but now I can keep paying just $10/month for cell service with a smart phone, yea!!
Why wouldn't these work on Republic Wireless? Aren't most Motos both GSM and CDMA?
I dunno. All I know is that the model number for RW for this is specific.
I don't think RW works with those designed for Verizon.
So, it is five dollars more than the mothership?
Hi there. We've asked the vendor for the model number and are waiting to hear back.
The E5 play is GSM only. With the E5 iteration, Moto really started to move it to an international phone, thus phasing out CDMA with the carrier unlocked version. I think the only way to get a CDMA enabled E5 is through a carrier.
Buyer must be having a better Monday than me because he's lowering the price of this Moto to $79.99.
If you already purchase, that money will hop back into your pockets soonish.
Is this the XT 1921-2 or something else?

Q: C++ undefined behavior unsigned char * numbers = {1,1,1};
unsigned short * ptr = (unsigned short*) numbers;
*(++ptr)=2;

printf("%d %d %d %d", numbers[0], numbers[1], numbers[2], numbers[3]);

The above can result in undefined behavior, right? Also, what will be printed in the screen?
The result was 1 1 2 0, but could 1 1 0 2 be printed sometime?

A: It will result in undefined behavior. First because you let a char pointer point to an integer array: note the difference between unsigned char * numbers = {1,1,1}; and unsigned char numbers[] = {1,1,1}; unsigned char* ptr = numbers;.
But also because the program breaks the strict aliasing rule. Anything might happen: the program might print some sort of result, or rubbish, or crash.
Furthermore, your cast to unsigned short assumes a certain CPU endianess. So in case your program happens to go for the undefined behavior "print some sort of result", that result will depend on CPU endianess.

A:
The above can result in undefined behavior, right?

(1) Not only the behaviour can be undefined, but it will always be undefined.

Also, what will be printed in the screen?

It is undefined as per (1)

will this in some computers print "1 1 0 2"

It might. Or it might not. It's possible because any outcome is possible. See (1).

We don't know for sure what the last character will be but the 1st 3 will be printed okay.

They might not be printed okay. See (1).
This particular piece of code:
unsigned char * numbers = {1,1,1};

will not compile.

Television's biggest night proved to be a huge night for streaming services once again.


I got to the River at 0730, donned my waders and walked to the spot where we fish. Since last weekend there has been talk about the big water releases from Shasta Dam on the Sacramento River. I didn't even think about increased releases or to even look at them in the American. Last Wednesday the release from Lake Natoma Dam was 4929 cfs. Today the release is 6706 cfs. Doesn't seem like a lot more, but in the picture below where we stand to fish, it's the difference between water that is ankle deep, to water that was half way up your thigh. See, you have to get out past the bushes on the side to drift your jig. A pretty steep drop. The river flow is right to left.
OK, back to fishing. My old brain has been working since the last time I was down because, damn it, I want to catch a Shad on my fly rod. So logic tells me to use the same jig that I use on a spinner. Problem is, once you put the jig on and add a couple of split shot (to get the jig to the bottom), you have a 1/2 oz of weight on the line. Solution? Put a smaller jig head on and less split shot. Drop the line out a ways, let out some more line, back swing and, snagged in the weeds. Sure, I got a picture of that too. This is DIRECTLY behind where you stand. Lots of places to catch your jig.
I did manage to get a bunch of casts with the fly rod and even got one big hit, but the time I spent untangling the jig from the bushes, out weights any chance to catch anything. So I went back to spinning. I did manage to land one and since I was no longer skunked, went back to the fly rod. I am a glutton for punishment, but I am determined. After another hour of weed fishing, I called it a day. Catching all those weeds wears a person out.
On the walk out, I snapped a picture of the California Poppy (State flower) for your enjoyment.
Well, that's it for Shad fishing until I get back from vacation next week. We're taking the laptop, so if I find any interesting lakes or streams, I'll report back. I still think I can get one more day up at Bear, maybe Thursday or Friday. I'll let you know.
Great post! My wife and I fish the eastern Sierras all of the time and we take our laptop along so we can scout out new places. We find a lot of new water and every trip is a little different. You've got an awesome blog! I'll check back in soon! Thanks!
Good to see that Bill found your blog. Check his out, I have enjoyed it since I found it.
Shoreman, you are tenacious and will persevere with that fly rod. Happy to see the jig still works.
You know, if all else fails, you can always use dynamite. lol Works wonders on stubborn Shad.

Dr. Emad Alnemri Named National Academy of Inventors Fellow
in Announcement, Awards, Philadelphia, Research
tagged: apoptosis, Emad Alnemri, fellow, Jefferson Health, NAI, National Academy of Inventors, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center
Emad S. Alnemri, PhD , Thomas Eakins Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Jefferson Health (SKCC), has been named a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
The NAI Fellows Program was established in 2012 to highlight academic inventors and innovators. Election to NAI Fellow status is the highest professional accolade bestowed solely to academic inventors who have demonstrated a highly prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development. and the welfare of society.
Those elected to the rank of NAI Fellow are named inventors on U.S. patents and were nominated by their peers for outstanding contributions to innovation in areas such as patents and licensing, innovative discovery and technology, significant impact on society, and support and enhancement of innovation.
Dr. Alnemri is an internationally renowned leader in the field of programmed cell death (apoptosis). In the past 25 years, he has led ground-breaking research on the molecular pathways of apoptosis resulting in the discovery of many human caspases, protease enzymes that cleave cellular proteins during apoptosis and inflammation. His research on the function of inflammatory caspases led to the discovery of several inflammasome complexes that are important for production of inflammatory cytokines during inflammation and innate immune responses to pathogens.
Dr. Alnemri is the recipient of the 2011 Jefferson Medical College Research Career Achievement Award. He has authored or co-authored more than 180 peer-reviewed publications. In 2008, he was named an ISI (Thomson Reuters) Highly Cited Researcher in Molecular Biology and Genetics, and in 2013, a Stanford University study named him as one of the top 400 highly influential biomedical researchers evaluated from 1996 to 2011. His work has been cited more than 67,000 times, according to Google Scholar. Dr. Alnemri holds 34 U.S. and 11 foreign patents and has over 9 technologies that are sublicensed to Conatus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a publicly traded company.
He recently received a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and a $300,000 grant from the Dr. Ralph and Marian Falk Medical Research Trust to study a novel caspase-3 substrate called DFNA5 he discovered two years ago. One of the aims of his new research is to examine the role of DFNA5-mediated cell death in tumor recognition by the immune system with the goal of developing more effective and durable anticancer therapies.
With the election of the 2018 class, there are now more than 1,000 NAI Fellows, representing more than 250 research universities and government and non-profit research institutes. The 2018 fellows are named inventors on nearly 4,000 issued U.S. patents, bringing the collective patents held by all NAI Fellows to more than 35,000 issued U.S. patents.
The 2018 fellows will be inducted in a ceremony April 11, 2019, at the Space Center Houston during the NAI Eighth Annual Meeting. Andrew H. Hirshfeld, U.S. Commissioner for Patents for the United States Patent and Trademark Office, will provide the keynote address for the ceremony.

Hall of Fame NBA Player Earvin "Magic" Johnson Gives Keynote Speech at American Rental Association Show
By: Ryan Totka
A few weeks back the American Rental Association held a show that had many ARA Hall of Fame inductees in attendance but the main attraction at the event was none other than one of the greatest basketball players ever and successful business man, Earvin "Magic" Johnson giving the keynote address. Johnson who owns over 100 Starbucks and a part of the Los Angeles Dodgers has continued his amazing success from the basketball court into the business world which has surprised no one.
Earvin "Magic" Johnson is a Lansing, Michigan native who not only learned the game from his parents but also the hard work ethic he has displayed for most if not all of his life. Johnson was first given the nickname magic when he was a 15 year old sophomore playing at Everett High School when he recorded a gaudy triple double. In his senior season, Johnson helped lead Everett to a state championship while averaging 28 points and 18 rebounds a game during the season. Following high school, Johnson decided to stay home to play for Michigan State rather than leave for UCLA or Indiana who both recruited Johnson heavily. During his freshman season Johnson averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 7.5 assists a game, quite a stat line for a freshman. The following season Johnson lead the Spartans to the NCAA Championship game against Indiana State which marked the one of the first games Johnson and Larry "Legend" Bird played against each other.
After winning the championship against Bird and Indiana State, Johnson decided to leave East Lansing to enter the 1979 NBA Draft in which he was selected with the first overall pick by the Los Angeles Lakers. That same year Johnson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar helped lead the Lakers to an NBA Championship against the Philadelphia 76ers and Julius Erving along with taking home the NBA's rookie of the year award and NBA Finals MVP award. The championship was the first for Johnson who would win four more during his 13 years in the NBA. Johnson would help the Lakers take home another championship in 1982 against the same 76ers and took home his second NBA Finals MVP as well. In 1984 Johnson once again met Larry Bird but this time in the NBA Finals but the outcome was different than the previous season when they lost the championship to the Boston Celtics. Johnson and Jabbar carried the Lakers to the win in the series and what was Johnson's third NBA title. Two years later Johnson had what many believe is the best season of his career when he averaged 24 points, 12 assists, and 6 rebounds while taking home his first regular season MVP award and another championship which required some late game heroics against, once again, the Celtics. The following season the Lakers and Johnson repeated against the Detroit Pistons and longtime friend, Isaiah Thomas. After a long battle with HIV Johnson made a comeback to the basketball when he made the 1992 US Olympic team also called the Dream Team. The team steamrolled everyone on their way to a gold medal which made Johnson one of only four players ever to win a NCAA Championship, an NBA title, and a gold medal in the Olympics. Along with his many on court successes, Johnson has become a part owner in the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012 and helped facilitate the purchase of the Los Angeles Sparks in 2014.
A few weeks back the American Rental Association held a show that had many ARA Hall of Fame inductees in attendance but it also featured one of the greatest basketball players to ever grace the NBA court in Magic Johnson. The event had another amazing turnout and gave the attendees the opportunity to get advice from not only a successful athlete but also from a highly successful business man as well.

Baywatch: The Cast Then And Now
Jul. 1. 2016 12:45 PM
Baywatch was an action drama series that spent more than a decade following the exploits of a group of young, gorgeous, and athletic lifeguards who liked to run slow-mo through the surf on beaches. The women made one-piece bathing suits look skimpy, the men were hunky, and the entire cast gave unrealistic expectations of what beach lifeguards should look like. It was pretty awesome.
Baywatch ran for eleven seasons, off and on from 1989 - 2001. The first nine were set in Los Angeles, and the last two moved the show and key members of the cast to Hawaii for Baywatch Hawaii. The year 2003 featured a reunion special called Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding. Now, a Baywatch movie is in the works with The Rock and Zac Efron for 2017, so the time is right to look back at the cast of the original series and see what they've been up to.
Pamela Anderson spent five seasons on Baywatch as blonde bombshell C.J. Parker, who didn't let the attentions of many of the men on the beach get in the way of her dedication to the job. Anderson is probably best remembered - aside from that pesky sex tape - as one of the characters who spent a lot of time slow-mo running through the surf. Shortly after returning to C.J. for Hawaiian Wedding, Anderson lent her voice talents to the character of Erotica Jones on Stan Lee's animated series Stripperella, then starred in the Fox sitcom Stacked for both of its two seasons. She had a recurring role on Canadian series Package Deal in 2013 before taking dramatic turns for the short film Connected in 2015 and the Canadian movie The People Garden in 2016. She's set to appear in some capacity in 2017's Baywatch.
David Hasselhoff - perhaps better known these days as The Hoff - was the longest-running cast member of Baywatch. He was a regular in 10 of the 11 seasons and appeared in 221 episodes as Mitch Buchannon. Mitch was a beach hunk/father figure who moved up the lifeguard ranks over the years. Hasselhoff left Baywatch as a regular after the first year of the updated Baywatch Hawaii, although he returned to star in Hawaiian Wedding in 2003. In the years since, he's played fictionalized versions of himself in projects ranging from The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie to Newsreaders to the episodic mockumentary Hoff the Record. He tackled the role of Gilbert Grayson Shepard in Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! and is set to reprise the role in the upcoming Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens on Syfy. Hasselhoff will appear in the 2017 Baywatch movie.
Jeremy Jackson played Mitch's son Hobie Buchannon. Hobie stayed with his dad despite his parents' divorce. The character was portrayed by another young actor in Season 1. Jackson came in for Season 2 and stuck around all the way through to Season 9. Jackson returned for Hawaiian Wedding, but set his sights on non-Baywatch projects thereafter. He turned up in the bizarre role of Xavier in the even more bizarre boy band horror thriller Ring of Darkness in 2004, then mostly had minor roles until he landed the recurring part of Kevin in OutTV's DTLA in 2012. Unfortunately, Jackson might be best known for the drug addiction he developed during his time on Baywatch. He'll soon reunite with members of the Baywatch team for The B Team, which will be an action comedy reality movie about CIA spies who went undercover on a popular TV show.
Gregory Alan Williams played police officer Garner Ellerbee, who patrolled the beach and befriended the lifeguards despite hating the water. He showed up in Season 1 and popped in and out until Season 8. After leaving Baywatch, he joined CBS police drama The District for a few seasons from 2001 - 2003. He spent the next several years making the rounds on the guest star circuit, notably appearing in Monk, The Game, and Law & Order: SVU. He won the recurring role of Coach Pat Purnell on USA's Necessary Roughness from 2011 - 2013, and he's started on ABC's drama Secrets and Lies in 2015. In 2016, he played Chief Besser in the CW event series Containment.
Alexandra Paul played Stephanie Holden from Seasons 3 - 7 of Baywatch. Although Stephanie had a troubled past, she formed a very serious relationship with Mitch. The character died in Season 7 due to a lightning strike. Paul appeared in Hawaiian Wedding as Stephanie's doppelganger Allison Ford. Shortly after leaving Baywatch, Alexandra Paul took on the recurring role of Terry O'Brien in Melrose Place. She's since starred in no less than thirteen TV movies that covered just about every genre, ranging from A Lover's Revenge in 2005 to Firequake in 2014. She wrote and will star in The B Team alongside other Baywatch alum, and she too will turn up in Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens.
David Chokachi played aspiring Olympic swimmer Cody Madison. Cody's Olympic dreams were unfortunately ruined by an irregular heartbeat. His heart problem didn't stop him from sweeping plenty of ladies off their feet on the beach during Seasons 6 - 9. After Baywatch, Chokachi went on to star in TNT's Witchblade, which lasted for two seasons following a separate pilot in 2000. He was back at the beach for The N's Beyond the Break as surf instructor Justin Healy from 2006 - 2009. He's spent most of his time on the TV guest star circuit since the end of Beyond the Break, although he did star in Lifetime original movie Cyber Case. He'll join others of the old Baywatch crew for The B Team.
Yasmine Bleeth played Caroline Holden, who was the younger sister of Alexandra Paul's Stephanie Holden. She was frequently the very stubborn subject of relationship troubles. Bleeth first showed up as a recurring character in Season 4 before being promoted to regular for Seasons 5 - 7. She recurred once more in Season 8. After leaving Baywatch, she joined CBS' police drama Nash Bridges. She left Nash Bridges to star in Aaron Spelling's Titans, which lasted for only one season from 2000 - 2001. Bleeth hasn't done much since reprising her role as Caroline for Hawaiian Wedding, although she's has been attached to upcoming movie Beautiful Evil.
David Charvet played lifeguard Matt Brody from Seasons 3 - 6. Matt lost his job at one point when he became victim of a false sexual harassment lawsuit. He returned to the job when the lawsuit fell apart, but he ended up leaving for France rather than deal with some of his relationship woes on the beach. David Charvet moved from Baywatch to spend three years on Melrose Place. He retired from major roles to focus on music following Melrose Place. He showed up in the 2010 TV movie The Perfect Teacher and the 2013 adventure horror film Prisoners of the Sun.
Gena Lee Nolin played bad girl Neely Capshaw in Seasons 6 - 8. Neely reformed when she became a lifeguard. Despite a few slips back into her manipulative ways, she eventually married (and then re-married) Mitch. Gena Lee Nolin won the starring role of Sheena on the action adventure fantasy series Sheena after leaving Baywatch. She returned to the character of Neely for Hawaiian Wedding, then left showbiz. Nolin will reportedly join others of Baywatch for The B Team, and she has a role in Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens.
Kelly Packard
Kelly Packard played lifeguard April Giminski, who is perhaps most notable in hindsight as the only big Baywatch actress to be kept on when the show moved the action from Los Angeles to Hawaii. Interestingly, Packard played more characters than just April on Baywatch. In addition to Seasons 8 and 9 as April, Packard turned up in Seasons 2, 3, and 6 in different roles. The actress hasn't done much since leaving Baywatch in 1999. She had roles in the movies The Killing Point and Auto Focus in 2002, then popped up again in 2010 as Suzy in My Girlfriend's Boyfriend. Packard will be part of The B Team when it enters production.
Jason Simmons
Jason Simmons played the trouble-making lifeguard Logan Fowler throughout Seasons 5 -7. Logan came to California from Tasmania as a participant in a lifeguard exchange program, because that is definitely a real thing. He had a great reputation as a guard but didn't fit well with the rest of the team in Los Angeles. After leaving Baywatch, Jason Simmons scored the role of Victor in a pair of minor Frankenstein movies. He played Jonathan Hunter in the violent cult film Mad Cowgirl. Simmons returned to the ocean blue to appear in Sharknado in 2013. He had a major role in 3-Headed Shark Attack in 2015, which was of course the sequel to 2012's 2-Headed Shark Attack. He is set to show up in the B Team film.
Erika Eleniak played Shauni McClain for the first three seasons of the series. She started out as a newbie lifeguard, but she grew into her role as a protector of the beach by the end of her time on Baywatch. Erika Eleniak appeared in CBS police drama Brooklyn South for three episodes in its first and only season, then moved to Fantasy Island for a pair of episodes. She's appeared in a handful of TV movies over the years before making it back to a big ongoing primetime show with a guest stint on CSI: Miami in 2010. She turned up next in an episode of Desperate Housewives in the same year, then moved back into TV movies with Holiday Spin in 2012.
Brooke Burns joined Baywatch in Season 9 as Jessie Owens, who began as a cleaner but was ultimately promoted to a lifeguard. Burns moved to the big screen immediately after Baywatch to appear in Shallow Hal. She returned to TV for roles in series such as North Shore and Pepper Dennis. She landed a role in the CW update of Melrose Place in 2009, then moved to the world of TV movies. Her latest ventures have been Hallmark movies The Gourmet Detective and The Gourmet Detective: A Healthy Place to Die
Jason Brooks played exemplary lifeguard Sean Monroe for the two seasons of Baywatch following the move to Hawaii. Sean blamed himself for the drowning death of his son and his subsequent divorce, but he gained the faith of Mitch in doing his job and managing the other guards. After the end of Baywatch, Jason Brooks became a guest star regular, appearing first on Charmed and then turning up on shows that ranged from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody to Torchwood. He had minor roles in Star Trek in 2009 and Super 8 in 2011. In 2014, he starred in Animal Planet's Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys with Shannen Doherty. Brooks had a one-episode part on NCIS: Los Angeles earlier this year.
Carmen Electra played lifeguard Lani McKenzie, who dreamed of becoming a famous dancer rather than staying a guard in the long term. She ultimately left the lifeguard life behind to try her hand at dancing in Las Vegas. After reuniting with the Baywatch crew for Hawaiian Wedding, Electra spent the next several years as a guest star all over the small screen. She started with Greetings from Tucson and worked her way up to American Dad! and House. Electra began the Naked Women's Wrestling League, which began in 2004 and officially ended in 2009. More recently, she starred in 2014's Lap Dance and 2015's Book of Fire.
Jason Momoa played the lifeguard Jason Ioane in the last two seasons of Baywatch. Jason was only 19 years old when he became a lifeguard for the Baywatch crew, but his strong water skills made up for his youthful stubbornness. Momoa found post-Baywatch success on the small screen with parts on North Shore from 2004 - 2005, Stargate: Atlantis from 2005 - 2009, and Game of Thrones in 2011. Although his character died in Season 1 of Thrones and only returned for a small Season 2 cameo, Khal Drogo introduced Momoa to a massive audience. In 2015, Momoa landed what may be the role of a lifetime. He'll play Aquaman in the DC film universe, and he made his debut in a Batman v. Superman cameo. Momoa will get a formal introduction as Aquaman in 2017's Justice League, then star in his own Aquaman solo movie in 2018.

How many people have used the webcam capture feature build into YouTube? I know I have used it many times, since it's built into another tool known as Video Everywhere in the Blackboard Learning Management Systems. Did you know that the YouTube webcam capture feature is retiring very soon.
The webcam capture feature will not be available on YouTube after January 16, 2016.
Previously, if you had a webcam built in or connected to your computer, you could record a webcam video on YouTube and upload it directly to the site. This feature will be turned off because it is rarely used and is built on technology that is no longer supported.
You can use software on your computer to record and save a webcam video, and then upload the video to YouTube. Popular software includes Photo Booth for Mac OS X and Camera for Windows 8+. If you have another OS, you may need to look up how to record videos using your webcam by referencing your device manual or searching online.
If you have an iOS or Android phone, you can record videos with your phone's camera and upload them with the YouTube app.
Recording directly from a webcam can be a useful tool when creating quick content to upload as an announcement, update, or quick recording that doesn't need editing. I'm guessing more and more, especially on a mobile device, many are recording using another program and uploading to YouTube directly afterwards.
Using free tools built into the various system can be a simple way to record from your webcam, such as Photo Booth for Mac and Camera for Windows. Most webcams come with various software to record too. Typically on a mobile device you can record directly to the device and upload using the YouTube Capture app.
What do you think about YouTube eliminating this feature? Do you know of other tools that utilize this tool that will need to find another solution?

Home > People > Ben Jonson Biography
Ben Jonson Biography
Apparently, Ben Jonson descends from a Scottish family. He never knew his father (his father died one month after his birth) and his mother remarried to a master bricklayer. Jonson attended school in Saint Martin's lane and then at Westminster School. He did not go to University, never enjoyed the trade of brick-laying, enrolled in the army and then fought in the Low Countries. He married to a woman whom he described as "a shrew, but honest". In 1597 he was in London, probably actor, or trying his luck writing plays. In 1599, he had already written a few comedies, including "Every man in his humour" and "The case is altered". By 1599, he had already been thrown in jail twice, first for the offences caused by his play "The Isle of dogs", and the second time for killing someone in a duel. He then converted to Catholicism. In 1598 "Every man in his humour" had been a success, and apparently included Shakespeare as one of the actors.
Never shy of controversies, Jonson had issues and feuds, mainly with John Marston and Thomas Dekker. During the reign of James I, Jonson started writing masques which then were very much in fashion. But his problems with authority did not stop here. He was questioned by the Privy council for his Play "Sejanus", dealing with corruption in the Roman Empire, which they had felt was a theme a little too close to home. He also had some obscure involvement with many conspirators of the Gunpowder plot, but was not sent to jail this time. Then came fame and success with [Volpone->artXXX]in 1606, The Alchemist in 1610, "Bartholomew Fair" in 1614, "The devil is an ass" in 1616. Still, contrarily to Shakespeare, Jonson always struggled with money. In the 1620s, he carried on writing till the end but never achieved the same success than the one he had known in the previous years. He died on 6 August 1637. He is buried inside Westminster Abbey.
Far from Shakespearan comedies, lighter, romantic, with their plots involving love and foreign locations, Ben Jonson's comedies were harsher, cruder, aimed to use a language "such as men do use", he will remain best known for the sheer intricacy of his stories, and especially the cruelty of situations which he describes, always aiming to denounce the ugly side of human nature through the use of satire, sometimes verging on the absurd. Revered in the Seventeenth century alongside Shakespeare, he remains one of the greatest English playwrights, and also one of the most controversial. Coleridge is known as saying that The Alchemist has one of the most perfect plots of English literature. [Volpone->artXXX]'s influence crossed borders. It was rewritten by Stefan Zweig and Jules Romains, and staged in 1928. Les Éditions de Londres have no doubt the uniqueness and the strength of Jonson's satirical comedies exerted a major influence on British humour.

Faith-based bias: how the White House is tilting the playing field.
President George W. Bush and other boosters of the "faith-based initiative" insist that the effort is intended to create a "level playing field" between religious and non-religious groups.
But new evidence indicates that the faith-based initiative isn't about a level playing field at all. It's about tilting the field dramatically in favor of religious groups.
Consider what happened to the Western Massachusetts Shelter for Homeless Veterans. Last year, the Northampton shelter lost more than $400,000 in federal funding. Despite the shelter's long and proven track record of serving veterans, the money, shelter officials were told, would go to religious groups instead.
The shelter got the money back this year--but only after its director, John Downing, emphasized the religious and spiritual services the facility provides. Downing felt playing up the religious component would make the center more attractive to the federal government, and he was right.
Not far away in Rhode Island, several local service organizations that have been serving their communities for years have been denied federal funding. Why? The money is going to faith-based organizations instead--even though the religious groups, as one local newspaper put it, "have no record of success."
Another group, City Year Rhode Island, which coordinates community service programs for youngsters, lost half of its entire budget. Group leaders said they would have to scale back programs.
Bush, White House "faith czar" James Towey and others claim that their goal is to provide effective services. If that is so, then why are they draining money away from time-tested providers and funneling it toward religious groups, many of which are unproven in this area?
Social-service providers are clearly getting the message that they have a better shot at a federal grant if they emphasize a religious component. These agency leaders know exactly what is going on: The administration doesn't want a level-playing field; it is biased toward religious providers.
Bush and his backers are careful to dress this up for public consumption. They never come out and say that they are discriminating in favor of religious groups. Instead, they claim that religious groups are more effective than their secular counterparts.
But no objective data backs up this claim. It is simply accepted as gospel by the administration and repeated over and over again--because they have a built-in bias toward "faith-based" groups.
When science doesn't bolster their predetermined beliefs, faith-based boosters simply change the science. In June, Religious Right leader Charles W. Colson's Prison Fellowship trumpeted claims that its InnerChange program reduced recidivism rates among prisoners. A press release went out, and administration officials yelled "hallelujah," backed by the predictable amen chorus from The Wall Street Journal's editorial page.
But there was one problem: A public policy professor at the University of California at Los Angeles analyzed the data and found that InnerChange had not reduced the recidivism rates. In fact, inmates in InnerChange had returned to prison at a slightly higher rate than a control group! Colson's group did not like this result, so it cooked the data.
So far, this hasn't fazed supporters of religious programs in prison. Their bias in favor of this approach makes them immune to contrary data.
Is the administration's tilt toward faith-based funding making a difference in the lives of people? Absolutely--but not a positive one. It's bad enough that this new approach violates church-state separation. What it is doing to people on the ground--people who need effective services--is also troubling.
In Massachusetts, homeless veterans, many of them struggling with alcoholism, faced the possibility of having nowhere to go but the streets. One man, Ennis Ricketts, a veteran of the Vietnam War, told the Associated Press, "I came close to having no place to go. I probably would've ended up back on substances and on the streets."
U.S. Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.) stopped in at the shelter to announce that the funding was being restored. Neal was glad to see the money returned, but he expressed concern for the future.
"I hope we never find ourselves asking what religion veterans are when they apply for services," he said.
Yet that seems to be exactly where we are headed. The administration's "faith first" bias puts the least fortunate among us in a difficult spot. It's clear that the new preference for funding religious groups is going to leave those running non-religious programs out in the cold; thus, if you're in need of help, you'd better be prepared to go to church, listen to a sermon or say some prayers.
The next time you hear an administration official promoting faith-based services, remember what's really going on. It's not about ending unequal treatment or leveling playing fields. The goal is preferential treatment for religious groups--with your tax dollars paying the way.
