Understanding resistance rates and cross-resistance can improve the potency of sequential antibiotic treatment protocols.
Sequential treatment using antibiotics that are similar but swapped around frequently is an effective way to kill bacteria and prevent drug resistance, a study in eLife reports.
The results challenge a broad assumption that using similar antibiotics promotes cross-resistance to drugs, and show that available antibiotics could offer unexplored, highly potent treatment options.
"We are currently in an antibiotic crisis, where the overuse of antibiotics is leading to increased antibiotic resistance and certain infections have become difficult and even impossible to treat," says first author Aditi Batra, a graduate student at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology and the University of Kiel, Germany. "It is the ability of pathogens to evolve and adapt to drugs that underlies this resistance, but evolutionary theory predicts that adaptation is difficult when the environment changes rapidly. We wanted to test if we could use sequential antibiotic treatment to slow down the evolution of human pathogens and limit drug resistance."
The team used bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), which can cause pneumonia and other infections in humans. They tested three different sequences of antibiotics under laboratory conditions and measured their potency at killing off different sub-populations of evolved bacterial cells. Two sets of antibiotics belonged to a class of drugs called ß-lactams, which have a common structural component – a ß-lactam ring. The other set of antibiotics all worked by different mechanisms.
To the team's surprise, treatment with both sets of ß-lactam antibiotics was better at killing off bacterial populations than some of the unrelated antibiotics. Moreover, switching rapidly between the individual antibiotics produced much better extinction of bacterial populations than when the switch between antibiotics was slower. This suggests that fast switching between antibiotics constrained the bacteria's ability to adapt to the drugs. Given this unexpected result, the team explored the mechanisms that cause this evolutionary constraint.
They studied the changes in growth, resistance profiles and whole genome sequences of the P. aeruginosa populations treated with the most potent sequence of ß-lactam antibiotics, which combined carbenicillin, doripenem and cefsulodin. They noted that when the sequences were switched quickly, bacterial growth during a switch to doripenem was much lower than for the other two antibiotics, indicating that resistance to this drug might emerge more slowly.
They also looked at whether physiological changes that occur as a result of drug treatment made the bacteria resistant or more susceptible to the other drugs in the sequence. They found that spontaneous development of resistance was much lower for doripenem than the other two drugs. There was also less cross-resistance towards this drug than the other two antibiotics. This lack of cross-resistance may indicate the presence of so-called collateral sensitivity; this means that the mutant cells, which have become resistant to one drug, maintain at least ancestral levels of susceptibility against the second drug. Collateral sensitivity is known to be important for the effectiveness of sequential treatment.
"Although sequential treatments with such similar antibiotics should have sped up resistance evolution, we found this is not the case if resistance to one of the antibiotics cannot emerge easily, and if the antibiotics show collateral sensitivity to each other," says senior author Hinrich Schulenburg, Fellow of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology and Professor at the University of Kiel. "It is ironic that the differential cross-resistance profile of the ß-lactam drugs was a key factor to treatment potency, even though this is usually used to reject treatment that exclusively uses these drugs. Our study shows that spontaneous resistance rates of component antibiotics could be used as a guiding principle for sequential treatments and could improve the potency of sequential protocols."

Comments Off on Raised By Wolves Interview: Amanda Collin and Abubakar Salim Give Us The Inside Scoop On New HBO Max Series
Raised By Wolves Interview: Amanda Collin and Abubakar Salim Give Us The Inside Scoop On New HBO Max Series
Posted by Kristyn ClarkePosted 2 years ago September 3, 2020
HBO Max surely has a hit on their hands with the upcoming premiere of Raised By Wolves! The show was created by Aaron Guzikowski and Ridley Scott and focuses on the relationship between androids and humans after mass devastation has taken place on Earth.
Upon watching we found ourselves immediately engrossed with the story and while it is chock full of science fiction elements the show itself is far from your typical sci-fi fodder. There is a much deeper thread that runs throughout this series, as it focuses on various aspects of human relationships, survival, religion and beliefs and so much more.
It was also refreshing to watch a show that always keeps you guessing, as of right from the start you can never be just too sure of who is the hero and who is the villain and we found ourselves analyzing each and every detail looking for those answers, which are never made completely clear, as there are always two sides to every story.
We recently had a chance to catch up with series stars Amanda Collin (Mother) and Abubakar Salim (Father) to share with us some inside insight into the series, working with Ridley Scott, their character motivations, and more!
Q: I think, Amanda [Collin] after watching the series, I know what I want my new superpower to be!
(Burst of laughter)
Both of you were able to find a way to tap into yourselves as actors and be able to play emotion without emotion as android characters, can you talk about that, and was it a challenge?
ABUBAKAR SALIM: I don't know if it was a challenge, as it felt exciting, as the idea of almost feeling for the first time and trying to portray that and I think that was what was really exciting about playing this A.I [Artificial Intelligence] … playing this A.I. who is programmed to be a parent so that must mean he must feel empathy and nurturing. What does that mean? How does that feel if your child does something you don't want them to do. It was exciting exploring that because there was no right or wrong way of doing it … it just was! That was what was so brilliant about the world that was presented to us.
AMANDA COLLIN: Also, so much was given with the suits and I think that was a big help too because we looked so android-like that we had the freedom to play more emotion without it being human. Sometimes it would be too emotional and then you would turn it down. I think all of my scenes are so emotional because it is emotional stuff that Mother is going through all the time. We are sort of like teenagers and we're discovering who we are while we're raising kids and it's such an interesting territory. There is so much brilliant stuff to play with like when Spiria passes away there is grief in mother both because of losing a child and the last girl, but also because of her failure in her mission. I think that was so interesting to play with because she is programmed to do something and she keeps failing and to play with that and it might look like just regular grief or whatever, but I think there were so many layers that we could play with and pull up and work on that it made it just the most interesting character to work with ever.
Q: How would you best describe Mother and Father's parenting style?
ABUBAKAR SALIM: Mother destroys people and Father tells jokes (laugh)
AMANDA COLLIN: That sums it up!
ABUBAKAR SALIM: I guess there really is no right or wrong way of raising children and I think that is what is interesting about Mother and Father's discovery, as you have Father on one hand trying to teach the children how to survive or how to manage and then you have Mother teaching them about education and about the world before and the mistakes that were made. I think one of those things where you are constantly adapting and evolving with the children. It becomes very interesting where in the first episode we have our original children and the original children are new and fresh, as they are of this world and now after the event of losing them you then have to deal with children who are coming already with history and baggage and that evolves how you are supposed to raise them. There is no one way of putting it, as it is constantly evolving.
Q: Can you talk about the sci-fi elements of the series and how at times it almost doesn't feel as if it is a sci-fi series?
ABUBAKAR SALIM: Yes, we had the suits and we had to imagine seeing ships and stuff, but the show wasn't about how sci-fi and awesome it was, it was about human connection. That is what I think was really brilliant about this was that the futurism and advancement were almost secondary to the actual idea of children and parenthood and that exploration of relationship. It felt almost supplementary to the world in which we were in!
Q: What challenges did you face portraying androids and also with Ridley Scott directing the first two episodes, how did you enjoy working with him to bring the characters to life?
AMANDA COLLIN: When you come to South Africa and you meet the person that you're going to be spending the most time with on set and it's Abu that right there is a big load off your shoulders because we were able to have fun and talk … so much of doing our work and so much of the blocks that could happen is fear and the fear of not being good at what you do, but it is always so helpful to turn that into play and have fun and discover. Then with Ridley directing the first two episodes and setting the tone of that … it was such a dream … it felt so easy, to be honest … so relaxed and down-to-earth, as we are all just discovering this together. We had tons of fun!
ABUBAKAR SALIM: It was a lot of risk-taking because it felt safe to take risks and discover and I think yes, it was a world that was already rich from Aarons writing and Ridley's visual touch, but we were all aiding the building of it as well and discovering. Working with Amanda as well, you could make mistakes … you didn't have to be perfect and it was really lovely to be in that environment.
Q: Can we talk a bit about the dynamic playing throughout the series of not really knowing who is the hero and who is the villain? What has that been like to explore?
AMANDA COLLIN: Excuse me!! (laughs) We didn't know either! We just shot away …for Mother, at least, it goes very well with the character's arch to keep discovering what's going on. She takes a baby step constantly into the world of her secret unknown world inside and it's such a fascinating move for Mother, but it's also a fascinating move for humans when they have the curiosity and courage to do that … you grow up and you find a way to live your life but at least I've talked to many friends or myself as in your 30's there comes a point where you are like 'who am I again?' and if you have the courage to open up again and look inside sometimes you find bad stuff and I think that is very important to look at actually …I'm being a little cryptic!
ABUBAKAR SALIM: From the outside perspective of reading the scripts and seeing that journey, it generally felt like I didn't know who the hero or the villain was and I think that is what was really exciting. It was Aaron's writing and how the actors portrayed their characters, as it is like every action is justified and I think that is what's brilliant about this show is that there are no archetypes. It is about feeling and emotion as well as actions and reactions. That is what is really cool and then characters start coming out of these actions and reactions.
Raised by Wolves will stream on HBO Max beginning September 3rd.

Have you ever wondered how your neighbors yard looks so great, has so few weeds and just looks overall better than yours? Chances are that your neighbor knows the importance of pre-spring yard prep, or pays a professional to take care of that for him. Now is the time to lay the groundwork for a healthy yard during the warmer months. Don't wait until Summer is here to attempt to whip your yard into shape. Give your yard a leg-up this year by following these landscape tips for spring in the months of March and early April: Pruning: Now is the time to prune back all those ornamental grasses to the ground. Summer flowering trees and bushes can be thinned out if you see a lot of overcrowding. Broad-leaf evergreens will benefit from a good trimming of dead branches caused by winter damage. Edging: Edge your planter beds, creating a defined space for mulch to be contained throughout the growing season. Mulching: A fresh coat of mulch on the beds to help prevent weed growth and retain moisture in the beds during the dryer months. Weed Control: Apply a pre-emergent to prevent weeds from coming up through the new mulch and blemishing your beds. Fertilizing: A well balanced fertilizer will help plants off to a good start this growing season. Turf Management: Like plants, grass needs to be nourished as well. The type of applications you should use will depend on the type of grass you have and the region you are in. Hardscape Care: Walkways, patios, driveways, decks, pool decks and any other hard surfaces you may have should be blown off and washed down to remove the winter grit. Depending on the type of hardscape material you have installed, you may want to look into resealing for continued protection. These are just the basics of spring landscape clean-up. If the thought of these simple tasks have you reeling, then we suggest you consider hiring a professional Landscape Contractor to assist you with the work. Professional landscape assistance is very beneficial, even for homeowners who enjoy working outdoors. Most companies offer services that are tailored to the individual homeowner's lifestyle. That means you can choose your 'least favorite' or more labor intensive jobs for the pros and keep the more enjoyable tasks for yourself and your family!

The right to keep and bear arms was outlined as a basic American right over two centuries ago. Because of that, the U.S. is a focal point for gun sales and manufacturing.
But just how many firearms have been made in the U.S.? Who exports to the U.S. and imports from the U.S.? How many people are federally licensed to transfer and manufacture firearms?
There is an endless stream of questions on this topic, but there's public record data that sheds light on a few of them.
To view all the aggregated data for firearms commerce topics according to recent reports from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, click on each listed topic item to jump to its brief analysis.
How Many Guns Are Annually Manufactured In The U.S.?
A lot — 134,284,120 guns were manufactured in the U.S. from 1986 to 2014, at an average of 4,630,487 per year with a peak of 10,844,792 in 2013, based on data released by the ATF.
That's including pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns and miscellaneous firearms.
One year sticks out in all available data: 2013.
Click the image to make it bigger!
It ranked the highest production numbers for pistols, rifles and miscellaneous firearms; the second highest production numbers for shotguns; and the fourth highest production numbers for revolvers.
Why were there so many firearms made that year?
The influx in manufacturing may be attributed to sociocultural, political, criminal and economic factors, but Smith & Wesson's 2014 annual corporate report reflects their official viewpoint. Their net sales in 2013 hit a record $587.5 million.
"... we experienced strong consumer demand for our firearm products following a new administration taking office in Washington, D.C. in 2009. In addition, speculation surrounding increased gun control at the federal, state, and local level and heightened fears of terrorism and crime can affect consumer demand for our products. Currently, federal and several states' legislatures are considering additional legislation relating to the regulation of firearms. These proposed bills are extremely varied, but many seek either to restrict the makeup of a firearm, including restrictions on magazine capacity, or ban the sale and, in some cases, the ownership of various types of firearms," according to the report, which can be downloaded here.
Firearms sales spike in the aftermath of mass shootings.
A study published in 2017 on firearm acquisitions in California found that in the wake of the Newtown and San Bernardino shootings, there was a 53 percent and 41 percent increase, respectively, over expected sales volume in the state.
And following the San Bernardino shootings, acquisition rates increased by 85 percent from residents of that city and adjacent neighborhoods.
The amount of firearms made in the U.S. overshadows the amount of U.S. firearms imports, but how many are shipped abroad?
Exports and Imports Annually by the U.S.
From 1986 to 2014, there were 8,089,691 firearms exported at an annual average of 278,955, with a peak of 431,204 in 1993.
Over that 30-year period, handguns obviously show the highest increase in imports, from 231,000 in 1986 to 2,470,101 in 2015.
If 2013 was such a significant year for firearms imported, where did they come from?
Where Are Firearms Imported From?
The number of firearms imported, and from where, shifts on a year-to-year basis depending on variable factors like foreign investment in the American market and American military firearms contracts, but let's take a look at 2013's import data by manufacturing country, according to the 2014 Firearms Commerce in the United States Annual Statistical Update report from the ATF.
About 63 percent of firearms imported in 2015 were handguns, which is slightly higher than 2013, which was at 56 percent.
The National Firearms Act also affects annual gun sales and transactions in a large way through taxation and registration.
Gun sales for qualifying purchases and transactions under the National Firearms Act generate federal tax revenue.
But what companies are required to pay taxes?
Well, according to ATF Form 5630.7, "importers, manufacturers and dealers of firearms subject to the National Firearms Acts are individuals or business entities who import, manufacture or deal in machineguns, short-barreled shotguns and rifles, destructive devices," and other qualifying firearms defined under 26 U.S.C. 5845.
The following taxes are generated only from firearms classified under that definition, not conventional or sporting-type firearms.
There are two types of tax records that are publically recorded in ATF reports: occupational taxes and transfer/making tax paid.
From 1984 to 2015, there was about $60,551,000 in tax revenue generated from occupational taxes, but as per 26 U.S.C. 5851 that tax is waived for businesses that are exclusively dealing with a U.S. agency. The highest year on record is 2015 at $5,417,000.
There is a required tax on NFA firearms ($200 each) when transferred, and when each is made ($200 per). From 1984 to 2015, there was $163,187,000 generated in total from those two categories, with $32,462,000 generated in 2015 alone.
Transfer taxes are not required when NFA firearms are sent to U.S., state or local governments.
Pennsylvania: a total of 222,722, with 12,835 short barreled shotguns; 7,779 short barreled rifles; 29,742 silencers; 17,989 machineguns; 152,262 destructive devices and 2,115 other weapons.
There is a large amount of "destructive devices" made in each state because it's more or less a catch-all term for what's defined under 26 U.S. Code § 5845 (f) — including explosive, incendiary or poison gas bombs, grenades, rockets with a propellant charge of more than four ounces, missiles with an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce.
Destructive devices are also "2) any type of weapon by whatever name known which will, or which may be readily converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellant, the barrel or barrels of which have a bore of more than one-half inch in diameter, except a shotgun or shotgun shell which the Secretary finds is generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes; and (3) any combination of parts either designed or intended for use in converting any device into a destructive device as defined in subparagraphs (1) and (2) and from which a destructive device may be readily assembled."
Aside from the number of firearms manufactured and sold, how many people are Federal Firearms Licensees, and which states boast the most?
Federal Firearms Licensees in the U.S.
There were 139,840 Federal Firearms Licensees in the U.S. in 2015 — the latest year this information is listed in public record. About 79,000 of those FFLs were licensed business entities, with about 11 percent inspected for compliance.
However, 1988 is the highest year on record with 272,953 total FFLs, 239,637 of which were licensed dealers.

Q: Android: XML Textview text Property I had seen an Android Tutorial that allows a simple android:text just like the example bellow:
<TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Android Application"
        android:textColor="#ffffff" />
But in my eclipse,
it says:

[I18N] Hardcoded string "Android Application", should use @string resource

What should I do?
I need to insert a lot of Text just like,

Accounting has begun since time immemorial. Consider this truth: God said unto Noah; "and every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shall gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them." The Bible – Genesis 6:19-20. "Of every clean beast thou shall take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of the beast that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all earth." The Bible – Genesis 7:2-3

Any suggestion or tell me what the better thing to do?

A: This is just a warning.
But by using a string resource, you can support multi-languages.
You have just to create a new string resource in the file strings.xml (res/values/strings.xml).
Then add the line :
<string name="your_name">Your text</string>

and just change :
android:text="Android Application"  by android:text="@string/your_name"
Now if you want to add a new language to your application, let's say in french, you will have just to create a new folder in the res folder called values-fr and copy/paste the file strings.xml you already have and finally translate the strings you have defined (i.e <string name="your_name">Your text translated in french</string>)
You can have a look at this (problem resolved using screenshots).

A: You can use hardcoded strings in your layout (or in code), it is just a warning and eclipse won't fail on compilation.
But android best practice is the remove all strings and texts from your app and layout and put it in one place- so it will be much easier to translate later.
So what eclipse suggest you is to extract the "Android Application" text to strings.xml file (that should contain all your app's strings).
If it's just for the tutorial you can ignore it, or even better- just let eclipse extract the text to strings.xml using quick fix

Make Peace, Not War
Corrupted Media
Turkish Ties With UN: Volkan Bozkir President of the UN General Assembly
UNGA president Volkan Bozkir elected on the 75th session of the UN General Assembly
Date: November 20, 2020Author: azerywood
On 17 June 2020, the United Nations General Assembly elected Volkan Bozkir of Turkey as President of its seventy-fifth session, which runs from September 2020 to September 2021. (See Press Release GA/12250.)
Following his almost 40 years of foreign service, Bozkir received 178 of the votes in a secret ballot. Armenia, Greece and Cyprus, while initially supportive, decided later to oppose the candidacy, allegedly due to diplomatic conflicts.
"Elected by the full support from the overwhelming majority of U.N. member states, Ambassador Bozkır is expected to take office as the president of the 75th U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 15, 2020, for a duration of one year,"
Mr. Bozkir has served for 39 years in Turkey's foreign service. He was elected to Parliament in 2011, and over the next nine years held a range of positions including Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Chairman of the Turkey-United States Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Caucus, Chairman of the Turkey-Australia Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group and Co-Chairman of the Turkish-Russian Civic Forum.
From 2014 to 2016, he served as Minister for European Union Affairs and Chief Negotiator.
Timeline of his career
He has served as a Member of Parliament for İstanbul's second electoral district since the 2011 general election. Volkan Bozkır is a career diplomat and a defendant of the Turkish position regarding the Armenian Genocide but also its anti-terror laws. While being the Turkish Minister for the European Union (EU) and also the leading negotiator in the Turkish accession talks to the EU denied there existed an Armenian Genocide. After the EU issued a draft for the Turkey progress report in 2015 including a demand that Turkey accepts that there existed an Armenian Genocide he declared that Turkey wouldn't answer a EU report containing the term Genocide. Also in 2015, he criticized Pope Franciscus for including the term Genocide in a sermon he held in a mass at the basilica of St.Peters in Rome.
Volkan Bozkir, president of UNGA; Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, president of Turkey; Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey.
As the EU demanded that Turkey adapts its anti-terror regulations according to EU normatives. Bozkır opposed the demand stating the anti terror laws regulations are already in line with the EU demands. As the EU Parliament voted for the accession talks to be suspended in march 2019, Bozkır, as the head of committee for foreign affairs in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey condemned the vote.
Turkish representatives at UN
On September 22, US President Donald Trump and then Xi Jinping gave speeches, after UNSG Antonio Guterres' failed speech. Now a re-heating of the frozen conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, not surprising with Turkish hatchetman Volkan Bozkir atop the General Assembly, saying nothing and blocking the Press that asks.
On September 25 and 26, amid continuing censorship, there were rights of reply. On the 25th, Azerbaijan trashing Armenia, and India versus Pakistan, which was the first to descend into citing the Nazis.
On the 26th, after the speech of Belarus, replies by Armenia against Azerbaijan, and Indonesia bullying Vanuatu for daring to mention West Papua. This is today's UN – totally corrupt.
Turkey – Azerbaijan – Georgia Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Commission of the Tripartite Meeting. February 28, 2018
Mr. Bozkir has been awarded the Order of the Star of Romania, the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic with the rank of "Knight", and the 100th Anniversary Medal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

'Keep close to the door in terms of commodity prices'
Deryk Janse van Rensburg from Anchor Capital suggests using the somewhat negative Naspers/Prosus sentiment as an opportunity to gradually top up over the next couple of days.

OVERVIEW OF Prosus N.V. - JSE:PRX
PROSUS
SIMON BROWN: I'm chatting now with Deryck Janse van Rensburg, portfolio manager at Anchor Capital. Deryck, I appreciate the early morning time. We had Anglo Platinum [results on Monday] Kumba [interim results] came out yesterday – a little shy with the dividend. They only paid 99% of headline earnings per share. Some of their costs were up, but I suspect that's simply because they're mining what would normally be less profitable iron ore. But with that price above $200/tonne, they are printing cash. And then with Anglo [American] results [out tomorrow], we should see a chunky dividend from them as their sort of kid companies pay out.
DERYCK JANSE VAN RENSBURG: Yes, absolutely. I think this has really been the theme that people have been keeping an eye on for the past three to four months – the numbers that these resource counters are going to report. I might say it's been the perfect environment for a company like Kumba to sort of capture the higher iron-ore price, and then translate that through into earnings. You are talking numbers where you're looking at yields in excess of 10%, or even around 10%.
I think in the backdrop of our local markets it's very difficult to go and scratch around for a bit of yield at this stage of the game. So yes, we are obviously exposed to a bit of volatility in the underlying commodity prices.
But these are certainly some of the best results that I've seen in my career in terms of what these resource counters are doing – the PGM basket players and, as you mentioned, Kumba.
So, even just sitting and being patient in these companies, one needs to be mindful that they're highly cash generative at this point of the cycle. Obviously, you need to keep pace with production and capture these higher underlying commodity prices. I don't think it's over for them. I think that people are talking about 'peak of the cycle' stuff. I still think that there's certainly some fundamental backdrop for the next sort of 18 months for these resource counters, a bit of a reopening trade.
Obviously, we've seen a bit of a spat take place in China, but I do think that you're going to be paid to own these things. You accept a bit of volatility, but it's very comfortable to sit in these counters and collect the yield. And then obviously just, as I've always stated, keep close to the door in terms of what these commodity prices essentially do over the short- to medium term.
SIMON BROWN: But, as you pointed out, 10% yield – this is an interim stage. And if commodity prices stay where they are, I take your point, we've got easily another year, perhaps year-and-a-half; we could get 40% dividends between now and the end of next year.
You mentioned some selling of Naspers/Prosus. I mean, this is the Tencent story that has been bubbling under and has really come to the fore at this point. But I've got to say, looking at Naspers, looking at Prosus, they're back to where they were in March last year – not the lows of March, sort of the post-recovery. It's felt painful, but the stocks have had a massive run.
Read: When a (tech) giant sneezes
DERYCK JANSE VAN RENSBURG: Yes. We are obviously kind of coming back to the base that we started at, just looking back a few months. But this is the space that we play in. In anything China-related one needs to understand the risks associated with any sort of Chinese-regulated or domiciled company. You've got a very strong authoritative stance just from a government perspective within the confines of China. These are big monopoly-type companies that have really grown to the size that they're at for the moment.
Just talking to their Tencent asset within the Naspers/Prosus stable, that sort of anti-competitive monopoly-type behaviour, authorities just want to make sure that their thumb is essentially on the pulse at the end of the day; they keep control, and they kind of make space for new entrants into the market so that the economy can have a bit of a longer-term runway when you start looking at a bit of a diversified approach in terms of where they want to get the economy to over the next five to 10 years.

Tencent investor Prosus slumps amid China's ed-tech crackdown
All that said, I do think that we've been through times like this in the past. I certainly haven't seen such a violent sell-off in such a short space of time when we talk to the sort of Naspers/Prosus movements that we've seen through the course of the last week.
But if you kind of detach from the noise, I think that 12 to 18 months from where we sit today we're going to look back and think this was probably a great buying opportunity. You've got to accept the volatility that a high-PE stock like this will attract.
But I love the assets. I love the quality of the business. I think that the growth profile, particularly from a Tencent perspective, is still intact. You're getting a lot of the periphery assets within the Naspers/Prosus stable, probably essentially for free at this stage of the game, and I think one needs to use this sort of negative sentiment environment as an opportunity to slowly and gradually top up over the next couple of days.
SIMON BROWN: I take your point on that. And if you remember back to 2018, when they were banned from selling games and the whole world was collapsing – that's just moved past.
Deryck Janse van Rensburg, portfolio manager at Anchor Capital, I appreciate your early morning time.

First time trying the CC cream at the event and the texture was amazeballs!!!
It's so light-weight and hydrating, while offering high coverage at the same time.
And here's the product that I highly recommend for all my fellow 🐼🐼🐼!
Their under eye concealer that I'm pretty much reaching for almost all the time now. I love how pigmented it is, a tiny bit goes a long way!
Apart from the crazy good coverage, it isn't too drying and doesn't crack up or make your undereyes look all wrinkly.
I wore TVD's newly-launched Stay In Line Resort Shirt Dress! ❤ Too early in the morning to worry about looking good, something easy to wear and fuss-free is the best!
Will be recommending some of their star products on my blog cos I love what this brand has to offer 👍🏻 Any time I hear "skin-loving" products with skin-care formulated into them, I'm in!

Russia's statements on intention to protect its citizens on the territory
Russia's statements on intention to protect its citizens on the territory of two Georgian breakaway republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia are illegitimate, the Georgian president said on Saturday.
Mikheil Saakashvili said that "Under the Constitution all people living on the Georgian soil are the citizens of Georgia and the country has a constitutional obligation and the right to protect its territory and citizens."
He added that "if there are citizens of Russia in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, then they are living there illegally."
His statement comes in the wake of the statement made by the Russian Foreign Ministry, which said on Friday that Moscow could be forced to reconsider its relations with two Georgian breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia if Serbia's breakaway province of Kosovo unilaterally declares independence.
"Georgia will never allow questioning its state borders and territorial integrity," the president said adding that, "We want to settle all issues of bilateral relations with Russia in a civilized and friendly way."
South Ossetia and Abkhazia declared independence from Georgia following bloody conflicts in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. Georgia's current pro-Western leadership has been seeking to recover its influence in the separatist regions and secure international support on the issue.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in its statement on Friday that, "The declaration of sovereignty by Kosovo and its recognition will doubtlessly be taken into account in [Russia's] relations with Abkhazia and South Ossetia."
Earlier in the day the Georgian Foreign Ministry summoned Russian Ambassador to Georgia Vyacheslav Kovalenko and handed him a note of protest in connection with the Russian ministry's statement.

Are you unhappy with the way you look since you lost a tooth? A dental implant can help you love your smile again. Our Woodland, CA, dentist, Dr. James Zimmerman, shares several advantages of dental implants.
Dental implants are small titanium screws that fill the space vacated by your tooth roots. Placing the implants requires a minor surgical procedure that is usually performed using a local anesthetic. After your implant is dropped in place, it begins to bond to the bone in your jaw. In just a few months, the implant becomes firmly rooted in your jaw.
During the last phase of the dental implant process, an artificial crown is connected to your implant in our Woodland office. Your new crown not only restores your full smile but also functions just like your lost tooth. Once it's in place, you can eat anything without a problem. Unlike bridges or dentures which can move if they don't fit well, your crown won't budge, thanks to the secure foundation that implants offer.
Working out with weights helps keep your leg muscles strong, but it's impossible to exercise your jawbone the same way. Fortunately, your tooth roots handle the job by exerting constant pressure on the bone. After you lose a tooth, the corresponding area of the jawbone no longer receives stimulation and may begin to recede. As the jawbone shrinks, it may cause other teeth to loosen. If you've lost several teeth, shrinking may be more pronounced and can affect your appearance.
Adequate jawbone depth is also important. If your bone is shallow, it won't be able to support your jawbone. Luckily, a shallow jawbone doesn't have to prevent you from receiving a dental implant. Adding bone grafts deepens and strengthens the bone, in many cases.
Would you like to find out if you can benefit from dental implants? Call your Woodland, CA, dentist, Dr. Zimmerman, at (530) 661-1155 to make your appointment.

I heard a portion of this book on the radio and was excited to check it out. Barney Frank's story is so important and needs to be well-told, but this is not the book. The content is too episodic, and is shared without context. Barney Frank as a narrator is not the best choice. I look forward to a full biography that provides context and is accessible to the general reader who is not a politics-wonk.

The Astrology of Liberation and Realization
by William | Nov 1, 2021 | Questionable Assumptions Embraced by Our Culture | 0 comments
Where Did Astrology Come From?
Astrology has existed in several cultures for thousands of years. What we call modern astrology in the West is based on the bare remnants of astrological teachings from previous times. More recently, the translation of classical Greek texts on astrology has given birth to a rich rennaissance of Hellenistic and Classical astrology. India has maintained an unbroken lineage of jyotish, or Vedic astrology, which bears remarkable similarity to Western astrology. The Chinese had a different system altogether, although deep study reveals that in many aspects, they had a different to talking about the same underlying reality. Tibetan astrology combines the Vedic and Chinese systems, adding a layer of the indigenous Bön tradition, with teachings from the Kalachakra Tantra.
Arising in 625 AD, the Kalachakra Tantra (literally, Wheel of Time tantra) is arguably a Silk Route text, informed by the perspectives of the many teachings that came together as merchants traveled from the Near East to the Far East to trade goods. It has detailed astrological teachings presented from the tantric perspective—the perspective of adopting practices that liberate us from the prisons of our minds and samsara. Within the Kalachakra Tantra, one finds teachings that Aries is found here in the body and Taurus is found here. They are connected to the subtle channels that compose the subtle, or vajra, body. Similar teachings can be found in the taoist, classical medicine / astrological system. Both of these systems present a profound, nondual view of astrology, which stands in stark contrast to those who would declare that I am an ego here being acted on by the capricious ego of Jupiter or Saturn there. Many of us assume this the view of medieval and classical astrologers, but the truth is, that although we can read many writings, which help us formulate astute conclusions, these conclusions are based on the perverted and imbalanced worldview we have been developing since the time of the Enlightenment, that holds the supremacy of the logical mind. The logical mind is notorious for putting labels on everything in the universe, confusing these labels for the object themselves, and above all, holding and projecting the illusion we are actually existent egos, surrounded by actually existent objects.
This blindness and arrogance—bordering on psychopathic idiocy—of the logical mind is summed up in a scientific article I read a couple of years ago, which declared, "Now we know what it feels like to be a bat." The declaration of a further conquest in the hopeless cause of the rational mind to try to understand everything in the universe always begins with "Now we know." But it's declaration that through using the unfeeling, rational mind, it will now know what it feels like to be a bat, is absurdity beyond belief.
In short, we may never know what the actual experience was of the people who formulated the profound, intuitive astrological systems many millennia ago.
But one thing I strongly sense—based not only on what I've read, but on the practices I've done in the Tibetan Vajrayana, Shambhala, Bön, Huichol, and Persian traditions, where the rational mind is viewed as a lower-level faculty to the direct-perceiving, knowing mind (jñana in Sanskrit; yeshe in Tibetan, heart in many other traditions), is that the astrological systems—though containing a lot of math—were not developed by the rational mind. There are too many congruencies, paradoxes and synchronicities for this to have been mind-produced.
In short, the mind was acting in service to the heart, and the heart was listening and attuning profoundly within and without for sparks of insight. These sparks may have been later looked at by the mind, but it did not invent them—at least not at first.
Two Approaches to Astrology
This brings me to two approaches to astrology that I don't really hear being distinguished. One is of the chart defining your gifts, potentials, obstacles and curses. Many astrologers will do nothing more than point these out to you—which can be revealing on its own, opening up a world of insight about your life. Some astrologers, who have been called to be healers or counselors, will also point out ways of navigating certain things. (By the way, we won't even mention the pop astrologers who either tell you what you want to hear or who tell you what they think will make themselves look better.) From this perspective, the astrological chart shows you the remedies for having a good life, learning your lessons, avoiding pitfalls, and taking advantage of strengths in your chart.
This can be invaluable to an individual.
But for those who have been called to the path of realization and awakening, this might not be enough. By saying this, I'm not saying the above is not helpful and necessary. But what I'm pointing to is what the configuration of elemental forces at play in the astrological chart actually is. We could say that in their basic nature, these forces are infinite and unbound—unconfined by whatever squares or oppositions enchain them, unblinded by ease of the trines and sextiles, and unfiltered by the signs they happen to be in. For these people, the chart represents the karmic map of one's life—the map of the subconscious habitual patterns, from which those on the path of liberation which to free themselves.
Those working with the five Buddha families, or dhyani buddhas, or with the 4 karmas of the tantric tradition, will recognize that those energies are the energies of the planets, the signs, and the aspects. From this perspective, the entire chart is a map of how you are imprisoned, and the study of the chart is to recognize imprisoned energies so you can liberate them, awaken them, be one with them, and benefit others by knowing them intimately.
Presenting these two approaches is not a one-or-the-other scenario. Unless you are on the edge of enlightenment, you need both of these. I don't know anyone who does not. They are the equivalent of the absolute and relative truths presented in the buddhist tradition. We live in the relative world. In this world, we need to understand our gifts to play our role in life. But it is equally important to not turn our astrological study into an increased ego perspective, where we adopt an astrological ego, saying things like, "I'm a Virgo moon." Or, "He's right; he's a Scorpio." Or, "That's my Mars-Venus opposing your Saturn and squaring my moon."
Yes, these things may be true, but we must practice the art of NOT LYING TO OURSELVES. Not believing the stories our mind keeps concocting about the world in order overcome its fundamental insecurity—the security that it know all its conceptions of me, mine and other are all just made-up fantasies. As the buddhist teachings say, "You don't exist."

Invoice And Cryptocurrency Factoring Trends In 2020
By Lyla Kyle On May 6, 2020
This year, the invoice finance industry is rising and rising at a rapid pace, and with its ICO business model, Hive aims to capitalize on that. Hive brings investors on board and makes use of these investments to acquire invoicing rights from trusted partners and businesses, create new liquidity and help companies bridge the gap. As demand for this kind of funding continues to grow, Hive will provide a platform for companies to leverage this financing model through the power of the digital currency.
Blockchain invoicing and factoring are also evolving and have the ability to unleash the cash flow of small and medium-sized businesses, as they can be low-costs through peer-to-peer networks based on blockchains. Blockchain technology has done incredible things in other fields, and can definitely help make this model long-term sustainable, but how can it be done better outside the blockchain?
To put it better, borrowers and bill buyers can finance bills at a cheaper cost, while companies that collect the funds will get more for a specific bill at a higher interest rate. Businesses will be able to make legally enforceable promises and use smart contracts to legally bind contracts, so they will be more likely to obtain compensation for unpaid payments so meet their pressing financial needs.
With this detail, it is easier to apply to a bank or factoring company for loans of any form without providing any information on the amount of money in your bank account or credit card.
In my opinion, blockchain would be an important aspect when it comes to traceability and invoice authenticity. As an open and transparent network, a bank or factoring firm can check in real time details about a company's transactions. Blockchain would, in our view, be a crucial factor for the implementation of blockchain technology in the processing of invoices and payments.
This network is still in the making but imagine it exists to provide worldwide exposure to cryptocurrency lenders. The cryptocurrencies factoring makes invoices a part of the blockchain and you can send them to the database and lender, so borrowers around the world compete for your company on this database.
In this article, I briefly outlined some of the problems that blockchain technology is supposed to address and the effect it could have on finance. That's why I'm working overtime to provide you with this forum and some other fascinating insights into the future of cryptocurrency and invoicing.
Unlike the conventional currency, which consists of central bank-backed coins and notes, cryptocurrencies factoring will be fully digital, with no central bank and transaction fees.
Reconnecting business processes in the digital age is aimed at those who want to learn more about the impact on business processes and business models of digital currencies. We provide the start-up capital for students to start their business in the Business Fimer Simulation. We are developing a business model for Bitcoin, which the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have called the "Best Trade Finance Deal." This is due to the increasingly growing use of financial technologies and business practices that allow for discounted receivables such as credit card purchases and debit cards.

TFG heard Finastra and Cognizant speak about the effect of digital currencies on the supply chain and the future of commercial finance. The topics studied included working capital as opposed to supply-building-agility and chain robustness. We discussed the risk to the future of supply chains and the role of the digital currency in the global economy.
Tokenisation is the method of addressing the many issues of trade finance that occur within companies. Every transaction in the preceding block is connected to form a chain, so we are called blockchain.
Not understanding the complexity of how technology works, but rather understanding what it does. Invoice financing and factoring on the blockchain is a use case for e-invoicing. Many ventures, such as the Ethereum blockchain, the Bitcoin blockchain and other blockchain ventures and many more, use blockchain for invoicing and majoring.

I've always been Team Anniston. It's the hair. So when I found out that Angelina Jolie was on the cover of the December issue of Vogue, I was none too pleased. There is something about that husband stealing home wrecker that rubs me the wrong way. I will admit that the photo above by Mario Testino looks pretty fabulous but I think I still might rip off the cover so I don't have to look at her. Bon Weekend!

FDI disbursement up despite a decrease in registered inflow
The disbursement of foreign direct investment (FDI) posted an increase of 3.1% in January - November over the same period last year to total US$16.5 billion, despite a fall in the registered FDI inflow.
Southern FDI firms prepare investment for CPTPP
Vietnam expects high-quality FDI inflows after CPTPP ratification
More FDI to reach southern region
Updates from the Vietnam Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Planning and Investment revealed that Vietnam attracted a total of US$30.8 billion worth of registered FDI from the beginning of this year to November 20. The FDI inflow saw a slight decree of 6.8% over last year.
Some 2,714 new FDI projects were granted investment licenses with total registered capital of US$15.78 billion in the period, while more than 1,050 existing projects adjusted their investment capital with a total additional sum of US$7.4 billion, equivalent to 79.7% and 92.6% of the total in same period last year, respectively.
Notably, foreign capital flow to buy stakes in Vietnam rose by 44.4% to total US$7.6 billion.
According to the National Financial Supervisory Committee, the foreign capital inflow through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) was becoming more common in Vietnam because the time taken to complete investment procedures is being cut.
Oliver Massmann, general director of Duane Morris Vietnam LLC, was quoted by enternews.vn as saying that many foreign investors were showing increasing interest in Vietnam, driven by the country's rapid integration, stable macro-economy, hastened administrative reforms as well as improved investment climate, and wanted to enter the market through M&A.
"The trend will continue next year," he said.
Foreign investors poured most into the manufacturing and processing sector out of 18 industries which saw foreign investment in the period, with a total sum of US$14.2 billion, or 46.2% of the registered capital, followed by real estate with US$6.5 billion then the wholesale and retail industry with US$3.1 billion.
Among 108 countries and territories investing in Vietnam, statistics showed that Japan was the largest foreign investor in the 11-month period, pouring in nearly US$8 billion, followed by Korea with US$6.8 billion and Singapore with US$4.1 billion.
Hanoi was the top destination for FDI flow which attracted US$6.3 billion in registered capital. HCM City ranked second with registered capital of US$5.6 billion, then Haiphong with US$2.49 billion registered capital.
So far, there were more than 27,000 existing FDI projects in Vietnam with a total registered capital of US$337.8 billion, more than US$188 billion of which was disbursed.
Korea was the largest investor in Vietnam with total registered capital of US$62.2 billion, so far and Japan came second with total registered capital of US$56.4 billion.
After about three decades of attracting FDI, Vietnam was now more selective, targeting to attract quality capital flow into technology-rich and environmentally-friendly industries and boost the development of local companies through setting up value chains.
Overseas investment
Statistics from the Vietnam Foreign Investment Agency also showed that Vietnam registered to invest US$303.5 million abroad in the first 11 months of this year, plus US$55 million worth of additional capital for existing overseas projects.
Vietnam's overseas investments were mainly in the financial and banking sector, which made up 29.5% of total registered capital, followed by agro-forestry-fishery sector (19.1%) and manufacturing and processing industry (14.2%).
In January – November, Vietnam invested in 35 countries and territories, with Laos being the top destination with US$97.6 million registered capital, followed by Australia with US$52.7 million and Slovakia with US$35.9 million.

will now try to get all the API working… hope the more difficult has been done.
If anybody wants to participate, welcome!
You know that https://chipmunk-physics.net is faster, see the benchmark.
Maybe I'm going to work on my C2MX2 'converter' again in the future.
Now with all bodies and joints types working and a aabbQueryCallback for mouse joints all in monkey2 language only.
The bodies_and_joints.monkey2 is the one with most features available now.
It's getting to be almost usable!
It starts at 24M of Ram and it grows to 36M but then stops.
Yes, this is the GC at work.
If you want, you can put a GCCollect() at the bottom of OnRender() or somewhere called frequently. This will slow things down a bit, but it gives you a much better idea of how much memory is really required by the app, and whether there are any leaks.
I've moved the WIP box2d module to a fork of the original box2d because there has been some commits recently so I wanted to be able to udate easily in the future.
I'll work again on it so If anyone is intersted in teamwork please tell.
I've been working on the module a bit.
Now wrapped (partially) the b2djson lib from iforce2d (The R.U.B.E. importer). Still have to implement images import.
Unfortunately it uses another json lib than mx2's but it's not that large. And I did not want to dig into cpp to use the mx2 json module.
The loader is compatible with the mx2 asset construct thus compatible with Android (tested).
On the pure box2d side, I have to work on Callbacks, collisions and wrapping b2d's generic functions to have the api fully wrapped. Buoyancy is on the list too.
Should be continuing in January, Christmas events are taking more time that expected, as usual..
It's now usable for those who have R.U.B.E.
There is of course a lot of things that can be done still, but I'll start to work on my game and add features to the box2d module when I need them. Will release as module later then.

Dirk Kuyt | Liverpool & Netherlands
Steven Bergwijn heaps praise on Jose Mourinho's management
Submitted by content on Sun, 08/09/2020 - 07:07
Tottenham Hotspur winger Steven Bergwijn has heaped praise on manager Jose Mourinho and revealed that the Portuguese played a key role in luring him to the north London side. The Netherlands international joined Spurs from PSV Eindhoven during the winter transfer window and he managed to make an instant impression with a goal on debut against Manchester City as the club sealed a 2-0 win.
He has since added another two goals to his tally for the capital outfit and looks to have already become a favourite among the Spurs faithful. In a recent interview covered by the club's official website, Bergwijn said that Mourinho has a good relationship with the players and appreciated his man-to-man management skills.
He told: "The image people have of him is exactly what he wants. That makes it unique, I think. Mourinho just wants to win, he radiates that in everything. At the same time, he loves his players. Before the transfer was completed, he called me, we facetimed. He wanted to know everything about me and of course when I would come and when I would train for the first time. Mourinho has a lot of confidence in me, which is partly why I felt at home so quickly, I think."
Spurs have resumed their season after the coronavirus shutdown with a draw and win against Manchester United and West Ham United respectively. With the results, they have jumped to within one point off the fifth spot, which could be sufficient for Champions League qualification, suppose Manchester City's European ban is upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Still, their prospects of making the European competition are dependent on their rivals dropping points. Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of them have games in hand against Sheffield United and Bournemouth and Spurs will be hoping that they will drop points in their respective encounters.


Certificates have been in use for a long time. And their value won't depreciate anytime soon. But one of the biggest challenges that many people face these days is to create a professional certificate within the shortest time possible. In the heart of it all, designing these files can take you a lot of time, even if design is your forte and you have the skills and experience. To save you the time, here are the best samples certificate templates that you can use for the long haul.
A certificate template is a free PDF, Excel, or Word document that you download from the internet without a dime. These templates are designed by different professionals from different backgrounds. Each designer often has some unique level of skills in design. Because certificate templates have already been created for you, there is certainly no reason why you should bother creating them from the ground up. Even if you have the time to create the template, you will still find the task of creating the document on your own quite overwhelming. That is a more reason why you should go for a file that is readily available for download instead.
Today, the internet has so many template designers. In fact, they are in the count of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. These designers have created different types of certificate templates to help you save time and money by getting the job you want completed done in time. Today, it does no matter what type certificate template you are looking for, for there is always a suitable template for everyone. To find the best template to use, you just have to do one thing: browse the list of options that have been provided for you in this article, and pick the best template to use.
Probably one of the best merits of the best certificate templates is that you do not have to be a computer or tech guru to edit the files. More often than not, anyone can edit these documents, because everyone knows how to edit files in PDF, Word, and Excel. Of course, you are free to use the file that you download from this page exactly as it is.
This is not a guide for creating a template from scratch. Instead, a guide will help you pick the best sample certificate template from the list of templates that you can use to create a customized sample certificate for the targeted persons. Here is the guide.
Maybe you landed on this page because you are looking for a gift certificate. Or, perhaps you were looking for the best certificate of appreciation template. When you scroll through the template description section again and again, you will notice more than a dozen high quality sample templates. You cannot download all of them, of course. You cannot download just any template either. It calls for specificity. So, before you pick a template, ask yourself what you would like to create. It is only by determining the template that you would like to create that you can find the best file that is truly useful from this list.
No certificate template is created equal. Some are in Word format while others are in Excel. Some are designed in Adobe Photoshop while others are in the form, of PDF files. Whatever you are looking for, you must decide what format you would like to use. By choosing a format that you are comfortable with, you'll be able to edit the sample template in the shortest time possible.
After determining the template you would like to create and downloading the file in a format that works best for you, it is time to customize the file. To do, simply open the sample certificate template in the format you choose during download, edit the text of the file leaving the design unchanged, and then print the document.
It is important to appreciate someone for a job well done. You have to appreciate them in the best way possible, and issuing a certificate to them seems to be the best possible option to appreciate the person(s) in question. One of the best certificate templates to use to show someone how thankful you are is the certificate of appreciation template. As with the rest of the templates in this article, this one is also free to download.
Half of the certificate templates outlined in this article fall in the category of the best gift certificates. So, what are the uses of these ones? Well, you use them as gift vouchers to attract the attention of new and repeat customers. Using gift certificates for business marketing is not only a good business practice but also a suitable marketing strategy. Customers love discounts. When they realize that your business is always willing to offer some free purchases to customers via gift card templates and gift certificate templates, they will definitely be willing to buy from you again and again even when you are not selling goods or services at discount prices.
If you want people to trust you, it would be best if you have a certificate that shows your business is authentic. Of course, there is a template for that too. So you should use it if you have not. When customers see this sample template, they will interpret your business as authentic and reliable. And they will be more than willing to trade with you. The only advice you can receive from anyone is that you should get the sample certificate template for your business if you don't already have one.
Certificate templates have three primary goals. You can use them to create a long lasting brand identity for your business. You can use them to increase customer loyalty to your business. And you can use them to recognize the best talents for the achievement or completion of an event.
