PRO STOCK ROUND 2 (1:25 p.m.): Matt Hartford, who earlier this season scored his first career Pro Stock win in Houston, remained perfect in Texas by beating Kenny Delco in their match and will have lane choice against points leader Tanner Gray, who used his left foot to beat Greg Anderson in a match in which they both ran 6.636. On the other side of the ladder, low qualifier Jeg Coughlin Jr. will choose his lane over Vincent Nobile after setting low e.t. of the round with a 6.616.
Semifinal matchups (lane choice first): Jeg Coughlin Jr. vs. Vincent Nobile; Tanner Gray vs. Matt Hartford
PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE ROUND 2 (1:30 p.m.): LE Tonglet took full advantage of incoming points leader Matt Smith's first-round exit to assume the points lead by beating Angelle Sampey and third-place Eddie Krawiec closed the gap on Smith as well by beating Angie Smith, and the two championship challengers will face off in a huge semifinal battle. On the other side of the ladder, veteran Steve Johnson will have lane choice against former world champ Jerry Savoie.
Semifinal matchups (lane choice first): LE Tonglet vs. Eddie Krawiec; Steve Johnson vs. Jerry Savoie
TOP FUEL SEMIFINALS (2:30 p.m.): Terry McMillen became Steve Torrence's new best friend after stopping low qualifier and points challenger Clay Millican in their semifinal battle. Points leader Torrence increased his points lead and improved his Countdown record to a perfect 11-0 by beating third-place Tony Schumacher in the 33rd meeting between the two, the last four of which have gone to Torrence (though Schumacher still leads the series 18-15). Torrence will have lane choice based on his 3.77 compared to McMillen's 3.81.
FUNNY CAR SEMIFINALS (2:35 p.m.): As it should be, the top two in points will square off in the final where points leader Robert Hight will try to fend off J.R. Todd and increase his lead to from 30 to 50 points. Todd raced into his fifth final of the year by besting low qualifier Tommy Johnson Jr. with a 3.952 to earn lane choice over Hight, who ran 3.96 to end Bob Tasca III's run.
PRO STOCK SEMIFINALS (2:45 p.m.): Tanner Gray and Jeg Coughlin Jr., who entered the Dallas event ranked first and fourth in the Mello Yello standings, will square off for the AAA Texas NHRA Fall Nationals Pro Stock title. Coughlin defeated Elite teammate Vincent Nobile, 6.619 to 6.634 to advance to the final. Gray had a bit of luck in his semifinal bout against Matt Hartford, the Houston champ. Hartford fouled, and a short time later, Gray's Camaro went silent and he coasted to a 9.69 for the win. Coughlin is appearing in his fifth final round of the season while Gray will in his ninth final round.
PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE SEMIFNALS (2:55 p.m.): White Alligator Racing teammates Jerry Savoie and LE Tonglet will meet in the final round of Pro Stock Motorcycle. Savoie, a runner-up in Dallas a year ago, rode his Suzuki to a 6.92 60 7.00 win over Steve Johnson. Tonglet followed with a huge win against the Harley-Davidson of Eddie Krawiec, 6.88 to 6.94. Tonglet and Krawiec came into this event ranked second and third in the standings behind Matt Smith, who lost in the first round. Tonglet took over the lead with the win and will remain there regardless of the outcome of the final round.
PRO MOD FINAL (3:35 p.m.): Jeremy Ray, near lane, runner-up earlier this year in his first career Pro Mod final in Norwalk, made good on his second chance, beating first-time finalist Justin Bond by just .005-second on a holeshot for the event win, 5.785 to 5.774.
PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE FINAL (3:43 p.m.): LE Tonglet, near lane, will head into the final three events of the season with he points lead after a clutch win in Dallas. Tonglet won for the fourth time this season and the 20th time in his career when he beat teammate Jerry Savoie in the final. Tonglet got off the starting line first with a .014 light and extended the lead to win with a 6.892 to Savoie's 6.907.
PRO STOCK FINAL (3:45 p.m.): Tanner Gray, near lane, extended his lead in the Pro Stock points battle by winning his seventh race of the season and his second in the Countdown to the Championship. Paired with five-time Pro Stock champ Jeg Coughlin Jr. in the final round, Gray grabbed a six-thousandths of a second advantage at the start and held on for a 6.622 to 6.636 victory. It was Gray's 12th career win in just 45 starts.
FUNNY CAR FINAL (3:53 p.m.): Two weeks after being injured in a fiery final-round crash in St. Louis, Robert Hight, far lane, turned in a gutsy performance to win his 45th career win when he defeated points rival J.R. Todd in the final round, 3.955 to 3.984. Hight, who now has four wins at the Texas Motorplex, extended his lead in the Mello Yello Funny Car standings. Hight now has a 10-1 record in elimination rounds during the Countdown to the Championship.
TOP FUEL FINAL (3:58 p.m.): Steve Torrence, near lane, remained perfect during the 2018 Countdown to the Championship with his third-straight win to put a near hammerlock on the Mello Yello championship. Torrence won his eighth Top Fuel race of the season when he defeated Terry McMillen's Amalie Motor Oil dragster, 3.786 to 3.826. It was Torrence's first Top Fuel victory in Dallas, his home track.
PRE-RACE FEATURES
Tony Schumacher only has a few races left to collect another win and another championship for the U.S. Army, a partner who has ridden with him since 2000 and has been part of 83 of his class-leading 84 wins and all eight championships.
The only Schumacher victory that did not come wrapped in an Army uniform was his first, at this event in 1999 when he was sponsored by Exide Batteries, but he's had enough career highlights at Texas Motorplex to fill a book. Other than his breakthrough win, 2014 stands out as it was at that event where Schumacher won twice, completing a victory on Saturday to finish out the previous weekend's rained-out Countdown opener at zMAX Dragway then running the table during Sunday's elimination rounds for another victory.
Schumacher, the winningest driver at Texas Motorplex with six career event titles, came into the event locked in a tight three-way battle with Steve Torrence and Clay Millican, 121 points behind Torrence and just 51 behind Millican. He started the Countdown with a runner-up in Reading behind Torrence but was upset in round two in St. Louis by part-time privateer Pat Dakin.
Schumacher, crew chief Mike Neff and the Army team enter final eliminations confident following a blistering final qualifying pass of 3.745, almost a tenth quicker than their previous three runs.
"The guys realized there was something a little strange going on with the water particles in the atmosphere and they made some changes before that run," said Schumacher. "Mike and Phil (Shuler, assistant crew chief) just made a great call and said we were going to go after it. There was just no reason to go up and try to run in the .80s. We had to step it up and get some power up. It was a great car for the Army team. It sure helped to get us a good qualifying spot and lane choice. That was a good way to finish up our qualifying effort here and gives us some good momentum going into raceday."
Even sitting fifth in the championship behind runaway points leader Steve Torrence, Antron Brown and the Matco Tools teams are conceding anything as the three-time world champ keeps gunning for title No. 4, and a big outing today as the Countdown hits its official midpoint would be a huge boost for a team that has struggled this season to adjust its team roster following the offseason departure of crew chief Brian Corradi. They earned just one win, in Seattle, where they broke a yearlong victory drought, followed by a runner-up in Brainerd at the next event, but have won only four rounds in the last three events.
Texas Motorplex has provided Brown with a lot of great moments, including his first career victory in 1999 when he was riding a Pro Stock Motorcycle and two Top Fuel wins since, in 2012 and 2016.
"This place always has a special place in my heart because of my first race win in Pro Stock Motorcycles," he said. "When we won our first [Top Fuel] championship in 2012, it was our turning point. We went out there and that's where we really started our pull toward the championship. This race closes out the first half of the Countdown, so it's another key race. We need to get our minds right and just go out there and try to go rounds and try to win the race."
Brown enters eliminations and a first-round date with Doug Kalitta with a very consistent car after runs of 3.817, 3.810, and 3.814 on his final three passes.
"We've got a consistent car, for sure," Brown said. "We're trying to do more than that, honestly. We wanted to do a 75 (3.75 seconds) and it didn't do what we wanted it to do. But, in hindsight, we got through all of our little hiccups and different deals that this car has been throwing at us and we're just going to stay persistent about what we've been doing. We're going to keep working hard and getting after it and tomorrow's race day. I'm really confident in my team. We know how to race and we know what we need to do. We're just going to keep our heads down and get to work. We're racing Dougie first round, a guy we need to race, and we're going to do what we know how to do and get after it and try to make it happen."
If not for Tommy Johnson Jr.'s last-run heroics in Q4, Bob Tasca III would have been wearing his first green low qualifier hat in more than six years. Tasca's Eric Lane-tuned Motorcraft Shelby had grabbed the No. 1 spot from Friday leader Johnson with a sterling 3.95 in Q3 only to see the lead snatched at the last moment by Johnson's unexpected 3.91.
Qualifying No. 1 for the first time since the 2012 Bristol event would have been good tonic for a season that didn't turn out the way Tasca hoped or expected, his first full campaign since 2014. Tasca won just one round in the first eight events and fought a series of frustrating body-damaging blower explosions. A runner-up in Bristol boosted him into the top 10, where he stayed through the Western Swing before back-to-back first-round losses in Seattle and Brainerd dropped him to 11th, where he stayed through Indy and didn't qualify for the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.
A No. 2 qualifying effort at Indy showed that the team had turned the corner, just not in time, so the team set it sights on redemption and 2019.
After an aborted first run here Friday, the team fired off a 3.98 Friday night that qualified them No. 4, then stepped up in the heat Saturday with the 3.95.
"We put a brand-new blower on it for that run, and it really woke it up," said Tasca. "It actually ran better than we thought it would – we were thinking it run .97 or .98 – but I don't see any reason why we can't do that again today. We have a great baseline and if we don't go some rounds, we've got no one to blame but ourselves."
Tasca has a tough draw in Matt Hagan in round one. Hagan and team struggled through all four qualifying runs and wound up just 15th, but it's a two-time championship-winning team.
"We're not giving anyone anything," said Tasca. "They're going to have to outrun us to beat us."
John Force, the first NHRA driver to reach 100 national event victories, is poised to become the first to 150 wins, and Texas Motorplex would be a fitting place to mark what might be his final statistical breakthrough.
It was here, in 2007, that Force's hall of fame career almost ended after a scary top-end crash during eliminations that left him with multiple injuries that ended his season. He left the track in a helicopter, underwent six hours of reconstructive surgery on his battered hands and feet, and spent a month at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas before returning to California for further physical therapy.
He hasn't won at Texas Motorplex since 2005, when he earned his sixth win at the all-concrete super track but was runner-up to Matt Hagan in 2010 and to Cruz Pedregon in 2013. (Detail alert: He was in the Motorplex winner's circle in 2012, after winning the inaugural Traxxas Nitro Shootout after it was moved from Indianapolis to Texas due to weather.)
"I have said it before, but I want to win at the Motorplex before I retire, and I don't plan on retiring any time soon," said Force. "I have come close to getting another win here, but I really want to stand in that winner's circle with a cowboy hat and just celebrate. I have a pretty good hot rod now and we will be ready."
Force opens eliminations against Ron Capps. Force is 58-39 when facing Capps, but just 1-4 this year. His one win against Capps this season came in the final at Denver and secured his record 149th career victory.
Force scored his first of 149 wins in 1987 in Montreal and reached his 50th win in Gainesville in 1996 and his 100th in Houston in 2002. Win No. 125 was in Brainerd in 2007 just a few months before his accident.
It's difficult to comprehend that it's been almost a full year since three-time Pro Stock world champ Jason Line has hoisted the Wally trophy in the winner's circle. He's won at least one event each year since 2004 and had multiple wins in 11 of the last 13 seasons but has been stuck one win shy of a milestone 50th career win since Oct. 15, 2017, the longest drought of his 14-year pro career.
A fourth championship is not mathematically out of reach this early in the Countdown, but recent history does not reflect that a late charge is coming. He's been past the second round just once in the last five events, but did qualify No. 3 two weeks ago in St. Louis, his highest ranking since Sonoma. That being said, Dallas has been kind to Line in the past. In addition to being the defending event champ, he also won at Texas Motorplex in 2013 and 2011, was runner-up behind teammate Greg Anderson in 2005, and has scored two No. 1 berths, most recently in 2016.
"I love coming to Dallas, and to come here as the defending event champion is something I'm proud of," he said. "I want to win every race, but Dallas is the only one where you get a cowboy hat along with the trophy, and that's just cool.
"We're in a good position right now with our Summit Racing Chevrolet Camaros – not great, but certainly good – because the last two races we've figured out a couple of things that have been ailing us. We just haven't had a lot of good fortune, but I keep saying all bad things must come to an end, and I still believe that. I'm hopeful for our team going into this race. We just have to keep working at it, and it will turn around."
Pro Stock low qualifier Jeg Coughlin Jr. sits just 70 points out of first place in the battle for the Mello Yello Pro Stock championship, looking up at three drivers -- Tanner Gray, Vincent Nobile, and Drew Skillman -- whose combined 321 races are more than 100 shy of Coughlin's 426 events.
That's a lot of race experience and, with five championship trophies already on his mantel, a lot of title-winning experience that the younger trio might lack, but Coughlin, one of the best to ever strap into a race car, isn't taking them lightly.
"I'm not going to say my experience is an advantage or a disadvantage, but with Pomona being points and a half, we basically have 18 rounds of competition left and we're back four rounds, so there's a lot of racing still to go and we have the confidence that we know how to turn on win lights on Sunday," he said. "I really like the momentum we have right now. Our recent history this year, from May to right now, proves we know how to make up ground and everyone knows we have the car and team to do it. All we need is a little on-track luck on race day and we'll be where we want to be."
The good news in the Vance & Hines camp was that Eddie Krawiec's Street Rod scored the No. 1 qualifying spot, stealing some momentum from Matt Smith and making the reigning world champ a prohibitive favorite in eliminations, where he desperately needs an event win.
"We've been getting better each session, picking away at it," he said. "We've been struggling in Sundays as it gets hotter and hotter, and I think we've finally nipped that. We've got such good competition right now – there are probably four or five bikes that could be on the pole – but I could really use a win today."
The bad news in the V&H camp was that while Krawiec's bike was screaming, teammate Andrew Hines qualified just 12th.
"I'd love to tell you we know the problem is, but we don't," Krawiec admitted. "The bike is being difficult. We think there's a gremlin, so we've changed everything electrical on it and if it picks up first round, we've got a big pile of scrap sitting there because it's so hard to diagnose where it comes from and what slows you down; it's not even worth it."
Regardless of that happens with Hines' bike. Krawiec is focused on winning his third straight title at this event and taking home the trademark cowboy hat given to winners.
"As racers you have certain tracks you go to where you click, and everything works for me here," he said. "If we can win again I guess I'll have to get a bigger hat rack. I'm not really a cowboy, but I love wearing those hats."
It's likely too little too late to contend for the Mello Yello championship but Angelle Sampey's newfound horsepower is enough to convince the three-time champion that she is in a position to win the AAA Texas NHRA Fall Nationals. Sampey qualified her Liberty Racing Buell in the No. 4 spot and picked up three qualifying bonus points along the way. She'll begin eliminations with a tough round one battle against Scotty Pollacheck.
"We finally had time to do some R&D and some testing and we've been trying a lot of new stuff," said Sampey. "It seems to be working in our favor at just the right time. I am excited that we are improving our performance on a regular basis now."
In the previous 12 events, Sampey has qualified in the top half of the field just three times including a best of third in Norwalk. She attributes the performance improvement to additional horsepower found by engine builder and Pro Stock veteran Larry Morgan and his son, Nick. While the Liberty team is based in Georgia, most of the engine development is done in Morgan's shop in Newark, Ohio.
"Qualifying third in Norwalk was a little misleading because we got rain at that race and qualifying was shortened," said Sampey. "We just happened to make a good run. Now, I think our [power increase] is genuine. We have a bit of momentum going and it feels so rewarding. I'm very proud of the whole team for working so hard. We are having fun and it shows."
The Pro Stock Motorcycle class has only raced at the Texas Motorplex 15 times but Sampey has appeared in a pair of final rounds. She was a runner-up at the track's Spring event in 1999 and 2000, losing to Antron Brown and Matt Hines.


Is the harmonization of financial regulatory regimes possible in East Asia? Focusing on corporate governance, which many see as a critical part of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and which is also seen as unresponsive to calls for change, this paper argues that such harmonization is possible, but that it will not be according to the "best practices" advocated by the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and other international organizations. At present, actors generally feign compliance with these international rules and standards. But this creates potential long-term problems by allowing distortions to persist and accumulate over time. By identifying the key actors that determine regulatory outcomes, this paper points to an alternative regulatory framework that would be adopted more comprehensively. This alternative framework is a compromise between the "best practices" advocated by international organizations, and the domestic political realities of East Asia.

In Ai Weiwei coverage, a couple of unexpected notes
By Madeline Earp/CPJ Senior Asia Research Associate on April 8, 2011 11:15 AM EDT
We reported Thursday that Chinese media reports on Ai Weiwei have reflected his ambiguous status in Chinese law. After several days in which Ai was considered missing, the Foreign Ministry acknowledged police were investigating him for "economic crimes" although it stopped short of saying he was detained. Coverage within China remains very limited, although there have been a couple of surprising, ambivalent notes about his fate.
We pointed Thursday to a Global Times editorial published the previous day. The paper was the lone news outlet to refer to the disappearance of this prominent artist and social critic, though it talked vaguely of his being taken away, not detained. Even that phrase was missing from the English translation. Bizarrely, a Xinhua state news agency article on the case was pulled from the website an hour after publication.
The Times published a second editorial today. As was the case Wednesday, the English and Chinese versions differed. The English version struck the usual tone for most of the article, denigrating Western media outlets and foreign diplomats for criticizing the supposed detention. This is a struggle. The writer concedes–in the lede!–that authorities did not announce the police investigation until Thursday, but still chides Western media for saying Ai was "missing" or had "disappeared" in previous reports.
Still, those who stick with the article's tortuous logic will find an unexpected conclusion: If Ai is acquitted, (he has not yet been charged), "authorities should learn to be more cautious and find sufficient evidence before detaining public figures next time." Zing!
Unsurprisingly, the Chinese version omits that hint of dissatisfaction. But ambivalence is present even there. The concluding Chinese paragraph reads: "The Ai Weiwei case is a big deal for him personally, and since we feel for him, we hope it won't be long before he can get through this critical period. But from the point of view of society as a whole, we think it can't be that big of an issue. However the Ai case concludes, China can keep moving forward, and society will soon forget this incident ever happened."

Prevention of muscle atrophy caused by reduced mechanical loading in microgravity conditions remains a challenge for long-duration spaceflight. To combat leg muscle atrophy, astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) often perform squat exercise using the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED). While ARED is effective at building muscle strength and volume on Earth, NASA researchers do not know how closely ARED squat exercise on the ISS replicates Earth-level squat muscle moments, or how small variations in exercise form affect muscle loading. This study used dynamic simulations of ARED squat exercise on the ISS to address these two questions. A multibody dynamic model of the complete astronaut-ARED system was constructed in OpenSim. With the ARED base locked to ground and gravity set to 9.81 m/s2, we validated the model by reproducing muscle moments, ground reaction forces, and foot center of pressure (CoP) positions for ARED squat exercise on Earth. With the ARED base free to move relative to the ISS and gravity set to zero, we then used the validated model to simulate ARED squat exercise on the ISS for a reference squat motion and eight altered squat motions involving changes in anterior-posterior (AP) foot or CoP position on the ARED footplate. The reference squat motion closely reproduced Earth-level muscle moments for all joints except the ankle. For the altered squat motions, changing the foot position was more effective at altering muscle moments than was changing the CoP position. All CoP adjustments introduced an undesirable shear foot reaction force that could cause the feet to slip on the ARED footplate, while some foot and CoP adjustments introduced an undesirable sagittal plane foot reaction moment that would cause the astronaut to rotate off the ARED footplate without the use of some type of foot fixation. Our results provide potentially useful information for achieving desired increases or decreases in specific muscle moments during ARED squat exercise performed on the ISS.
Provide the OpenSim model used in the journal article along with sample inputs so that others can simulate ARED squat exercise on the International Space Station.
This project provides an OpenSim model of an astronaut performing ARED squat exercise on the International Space Station (ISS). Along with the model, we provide input files for performing a sample forward dynamic simulation and a Matlab program for plotting the predicted ground reactions and muscle moments. A README file gives step-by-step instructions. We also provide animation files showing simulated motions for ARED squat exercise performed on Earth and on the ISS.
The downloads provided in this project allow others to reproduce the simulation results for ARED squat exercise performed on the ISS, as shown in Figure 5 of the journal article.

Being stressed while working can drag your productivity down, which can lead to more work that needs to be done.
The face of the workforce is changing.
Team building is necessary in a workplace to foster a better understanding among employees.
Can your idea be turned into a business?
To turn an idea into a business, consider if it is feasible and if there is a need or a market for it.
Working the same hours as everyone: How do you become more productive?
Get the most out of your workday by following these four tips on productivity.


Middle of the ocean. Excessive oil. Radioactive waste. Excessive plastic and small pieces of plastic. Year 2027. This is the reality that we face daily. People have started the cleaning process. The people's turn has changed when every person took care of the waste he was throwing before he invaded where he was going. Then, with so much plastic, they quickly set up businesses that cut small pieces and reuse it. Again and again. So not only has it taken an unexpected turn, but they all wanted to use biodegradable products. People have felt the need for cleanliness and have forgotten about this evil. At the top they cleaned the beaches, from the jungle to the North Pole. Everywhere needs to be clean. The bag represents the years of excessive pollution suffered by the sea and the oceans. The arms hold the hope: the species that are now protected. They are trying to get used to changing and accommodating themselves in the new environment now being cleansed. My work is rather symbolic. If we do not stop now from being selfish and destroying the biodiversity of the wonderful oceans, we will all suffer.

Q: How to use a field in ROW type column in Flink SQL? I'm executing a SQL in Flink looks like this:
    create table team_config_source (
      `payload` ROW(
        `before` ROW(
          team_config_id int,
          ...
        ),
        `after` ROW(
          team_config_id int,
          ...
        )
      ),
      PRIMARY KEY (`payload`.`after`.`team_config_id`) NOT ENFORCED
    ) WITH (
    'connector' = 'kafka',
    'topic' = 'xxx',
    'properties.bootstrap.servers' = 'xxx',
    'properties.group.id' = 'xxx',
    'scan.startup.mode' = 'earliest-offset',
    'format' = 'json',
    'key.format' = 'json'
    )

But Flink give me this error:
org.apache.flink.table.api.SqlParserException: SQL parse failed. Encountered "." at line 51, column 29.
Was expecting one of:
     ")" ...
     "," ...

I've also tried to replace (`payload`.`after`.`team_config_id`) with (`payload.after.team_config_id`), but Flink will say that column payload.after.team_config_id was not defined.
How should I correct my DDL?

A: I skip this problem by dropping the PRIMARY KEY sentence.

" Country group Old Dominion won song of the year and group of the year, and band members Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen and Brad Tursi earned additional individual awards as songwriters for "One Man Band." The awards show aired from empty venues in Nashville with no fans and no applause, even when winners got up live to accept their awards. "But the examples set by essential workers, our first responders, along with the voices crying out for equality in all walks of life, have echoed around the world and right here in our country community." Maren Morris, who was a leading nominee, won two awards, including female artist of the year and music event of the year, for a collaboration with Miranda Lambert, Caylee Hammack, Tenille Townes, Elle King and Ashley McBryde. This is an award that I never expected to win," said Morris, who thanked her husband and baby boy, Hayes, before blurting out "Oh my God, I have to pee!" Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, weren't in Nashville, but turned a green screen room into a virtual replica of the Bluebird Cafe for their duet "Happy Anywhere." Shelton won single of the year for his song, "God's Country." Lambert performed a stripped-down version of her No. 1 song "Bluebird," at the Bluebird Cafe in a blue fringed shirt and a sparkly belt.

How many times have you complained about something the federal government does that doesn't make sense to you, finishing with, "If I were president, I would change that"?
Even if you can get yourself elected president you may not be able to make all the sweeping changes you'd like, but you would at least have the opportunity to try. For most of the 20th century, newly elected presidents have taken advantage of that opportunity to launch wholesale efforts to reorganize the Executive Branch of the government. Since the 1970s Presidents Carter, George W. Bush, and Obama have had their own reorganization plans. Now add the Trump Administration to the list.
The recently released Trump plan, "Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century," reads like most other plans, with the stated goals of learning from the private sector and avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches.
The recommendation that has attracted the most news is a proposal to merge the Department of Education with the Department of Labor, creating the Department of Education and the Workforce.
The proposal of most interest to the life science research community is a proposal to centralize the administration of graduate fellowship grants at "multiple Federal agencies" within the National Science Foundation (NSF) The goal of the proposal is to reduce administrative costs. As a first step, the plan calls for the NSF to conduct a government-wide inventory of current fellowship programs.
The Trump plan also calls for the general restructuring of National Institutes of Health (NIH) administrative functions but does not provide details. In addition, the plan calls for the transfer of three agencies currently outside of the NIH into the NIH as new institutes. The agencies are the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research. At some point in the future, the plan calls for the mission of each of the new institutes to be reviewed with the goal of transferring those operations to the existing NIH institutes.
Most proposals within the Trump plan would need to be approved by Congress to be implemented, making it unlikely that any changes will be made. You can read the complete plan at https://bit.ly/2MNCtQA.

SM U 108  war ein diesel-elektrisches U-Boot der deutschen Kaiserlichen Marine, das im Ersten Weltkrieg zum Einsatz kam. In der Zwischenkriegszeit stand das Boot unter dem Namen Léon Mignot im Dienst der französischen Marine. Kurz vor dem Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde es verschrottet.

Einsätze
U 108 wurde am 5. Mai 1916 in Auftrag gegeben, lief am 11. Oktober 1917 bei der Germaniawerft in Kiel vom Stapel und wurde am 5. Dezember 1917 in Dienst gestellt. Anschließend wurde das Boot der IV. U-Flottille in Emden und Borkum zugeordnet. Erster und einziger deutscher Kommandant war Korvettenkapitän Martin Nitzsche.

U 108 führte während des Ersten Weltkriegs drei Unternehmungen im östlichen Nordatlantik durch. Dabei wurde ein Handelsschiff mit einer Tonnage von 7.484 BRT versenkt.

Das einzige von U 108 versenkte Schiff war das britische bewaffnete Frachtschiff Barunga, das im Juni 1913 bei der Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft vom Stapel lief. Das Schiff war als Sumatra für die Deutsch-Australische Dampfschiffs-Gesellschaft gefahren und bei Kriegsbeginn in Sydney beschlagnahmt worden. Die Barunga wurde am 15. Juli 1918 auf ihrer Fahrt von London nach Australien etwa auf der Position  versenkt. Es gab keine Todesopfer.

Verbleib
Am 20. November 1918 wurde U 108 als Kriegsbeute an Frankreich ausgeliefert. Dort wurde das Boot am 21. Januar 1922 als Léon Mignot der französischen Marine wieder in Dienst gestellt. Die Streichung von der Schiffsliste erfolgte im Sommer 1935. Im Mai 1936 wurde es nach Brest überführt. Der endgültige Abbruch fand schließlich 1938 statt.

Majumdar Nets Four as Women's Water Polo Hosts Macalester, VMI
PASADENA, Calif. (Mar. 15, 2015) – Senior Shalini Majumdar (Orinda, Calif. / Miramonte) netted her second hat trick of the season as the Caltech women's water polo team hosted Macalester College and the Virginia Military Institute on Sunday.
Caltech 5, Macalester 18
The Beavers matched their season-high goal total for the fourth time in their first match Sunday. The Scots shot out of the gates to a 5-0 lead before Majumdar scored an exclusion goal. She added the Beavers' second tally early in the second quarter, but Macalester stretched out to a 13-2 lead by halftime.
Majumdar completed the hat trick on Caltech's first possession of the second half and senior Monica Enlow (Suwanee, Ga. / North Gwinnett) chipped in another at the 5:32 mark. Senior Jing Xu (Mountain View, Calif. / Los Altos) tallied the Beavers' final goal to open the fourth quarter.
Caltech 4, VMI 23
VMI stormed out to an 11-0 lead to start the final game of the day. Majumdar again netted the Beavers' first goal midway through the second quarter and junior Soumya Kannan (Palo Alto, Calif. / Henry M Gunn) got on the board late in the period as VMI led 12-2 at the half.
The Keydets extended the margin to 15 at 17-2 before Caltech struck again, with Kannan converting a penalty after making a heads-up pass toward an open freshman Carly Robison (Saratoga, Calif. / Castilleja) that was interfered with by a VMI player who was late leaving play after an exclusion. Kannan completed the hat trick with a strike at the 5:19 mark in the fourth quarter.
Head Coach Pat Beemer and the Beavers will host Washington & Jefferson College (5-6) on Wednesday, Mar. 18 at 5:00 p.m.

Le propriétaire des lieux, Hiram Gummer (arrière-grand-père de Burt Gummer), se rend alors en ville pour résoudre le problème. Inexpérimenté et peu amateur des armes à feu, Hiram fait appel à un professionnel : Black Hand Kelly.

Los Seminario es una familia peruana destacada por su actividad económica y política en su país, principalmente en el territorio del actual departamento de Piura. De ella destacan varios integrantes como Augusto Seminario y Váscones que fue vicepresidente del Perú a fines del siglo XIX y Fernando Seminario y Echandía quien tuviera gran participación política en esos mismos años. Se destaca también al héroe peruano Miguel Grau Seminario. Todos ellos participaron activamente en la Guerra del Pacífico.

Historia familiar
El primer Seminario de quien se tiene constancia de su llegada al Perú fue Martín Seminario y Gandiño, hijo de Andrés de Seminario y Gonzaga y Ángela Gandiño de Gonzaga. Martín llegó al Virreinato del Perú como capitán de la escolta del virrey Baltazar de la Cueva a mediados del siglo XVII. Martín se casó en Lima con Ignacia Calderón Dávila y Arévalo el 4 de noviembre de 1673 y tiene un solo hijo: Cipriano de Seminario y Calderón quien, el 10 de marzo de 1700 se casó con Isabel de Saldívar y Soto.

Manuel Joseph de Seminario y Saldívar fue el segundo hijo del matrimonio. Nació en 1706 y llegó a la ciudad de San Miguel de Piura como capitán de Milicias y llegó a ser tenitente del partido de Tumbes. Fue en 1749 alcalde de primer voto de Piura y ocupó diversos cargos incluyendo el de teniente gobernador de Ayabaca y Huancabamba. Falleció en Piura en 1794. Estuvo casado con Isabel Jaime de los Ríos y Rodríguez de Taboada con quien tuvo 10 hijos.

Miguel Jerónimo Seminario y Jayme de los Ríos, hijo de Manuel Joseph, se casó con Juana Manuela de Váscones y Taboada y tuvo varios hijos. Miguel Jerónimo es considerado un prócer del Perú pues apoyó las ideas independistas e incluso proclamó la independencia en Piura el 4 de enero de 1821. Este es el entroncamiento de la rama Seminario y Váscones entre los que destacan el ya mencionado Augusto Seminario y Váscones (1833-1910), Manuel Seminario y Váscones (1830 - ?) quien fuera senador por Piura cuando el Perú ya había logrado su independencia.

Por su parte, Fernando Torcuato Seminario y Jayme de los Ríos (1758-1821) se casó el 15 de octubre de 1781 con María Joaquina del Castillo y Talledo Velásquez de Tineo. Fernando Torcuato nació en Piura y ocupó varios cargos incluyendo la alcaldía de la ciudad en 1791, 1792, 1798, 1799 y 1804. Fue propietario de las haciendas Ocoto, Locuto, Chapairá y Casa Tina en el valle del río Piura y de la hacienda Huangalá en el valle del río Chira. A diferencia de su hermano Miguel Jerónimo, Fernando Torcuato fue leal al Rey y se opuso a las ideas independentistas. De esta rama Seminario del Castillo destacan Miguel Seminario del Castillo quien fuera regidor de Piura, Juan Ignacio Seminario del Castillo que se casó con Ignacia Echandía y Ramos dando lugar a otra rama, la de los Seminario y Echandía, y la última Luisa Seminario del Castillo quien fuera madre del héroe Miguel Grau Seminario.

La rama Seminario y Echandía desciende del matrimonio de Juan Ignacio Seminario del Castillo e Ignacia Echandía Ramos quienes tuvieron 9 hijos. Destacan ya mencionado Fernando Seminario y Echandía y su hermano Pablo Seminario y Echandía que también fue diputado y senador por el departamento de Piura en varias oportunidades. A esta rama también pertenece el ex alcalde de Piura Frank Mc Lauchlan García, hijo de Magdalena García Seminario y nieto de Josefa Seminario y Echandía.

Finalmente el matrimonio de Manuel Seminario y Váscones con Julia Aramburú Duran dio lugar a la rama de los Seminario y Aramburú. Tuvieron ocho hijos entre los que destacan Oswaldo, Felipe, Edmundo, Carlos y Eduardo quienes fueron elegidos diputados por Piura en diversos periodos entre 1895 y 1930.

Impacto en Piura
Aunque desde el siglo XVIII, las familias eran importantes hacendados, su importancia política se incrementó entre 1876 y 1895 gracias a los enfrentamientos de Fernando Seminario y Echandía y Augusto Seminario y Váscones que se enfrentaron constantemente por sus rivalidades políticas. Así, durante la Guerra del Pacífico, si bien ambos lucharon por el Perú y participaron en la defensa de su localidad y de la ciudad de Lima ante la invasión chilena, se enfrentaron durante la guerra civil de 1884 al ser Fernando partidario de Andrés Avelino Cáceres y Augusto de Miguel Iglesias. En esa oportunidad, el triunfo fue del bando cacerista. Diez años después, en la guerra civil de 1894, se volvieron a enfrentar cuando Augusto se alineó con el bando de Nicolás de Piérola quien triunfó esta vez teniendo que exiliarse Fernando en Ecuador. Durante esos años, los enfrentamientos de los Seminario dividió a la población del departamento.

Árbol genealógico
Durante los siglos XIX, se realizaron matrimonios entre miembros de la familia Seminario debido a lo reducido de la sociedad piurana en aquellos años.

Vegan Delights - Toni Rodríguez
More than ten years ago, I stopped eating animals. It took me a long time to realize that eating muscle, membranes, and other products was just something I enjoyed . . . but that it was costing the lives of those animals that were arriving at my plate. Now that I think about it, how could I feel pleasure while eating the organs of animals instead of tomatoes, tofu, hummus, or pesto? I must have been crazy then, or maybe the craze actually came to me ten years ago. Surely, being different and feeling intense empathy for animals must be a beautiful kind of insanity.
I haven't given up on pleasure. In fact, I think that deep down I am a hedonist. I am always searching for new flavors, I prefer to have a bit of sun on my face, traveling rather than staying put, eating, drinking, enjoying . . . perhaps that's why I start salivating when I open the book that you are now holding in your hands.
I've known Toni since he was 17 years old, when he dreamed of becoming a rock star. We both stopped eating animals because we believe that they have the same right as we do to not be devoured and to enjoy their lives peacefully and freely. We believe this in our heads and hearts, and these recipes lead us to believe with our palates that there is no reason to continue sending animals to the slaughterhouse.
This book contains more than just recipes. Its pages are filled with loving encounters, picnic outings, formal dinners, games, and gifts. They contain an infinite number of enjoyable scenarios, without even a shadow of suffering.

Cooking is love
My father taught me a guiding principle: You must work hard to obtain what you want. Work and . . . lots of love. Because the main ingredient of every recipe is love, there is an affection that you impart while making it. In fact, I began cooking because of love. My partner, also vegan, couldn't do it because of work, and from there I found a new passion: wholesome cooking.
I am vegan for ethical reasons. I refuse to eat anything that involves the mistreatment of animals. My recipes do not use any ingredients that come from animals (meat, milk, eggs, honey). If cooking is love, there can be no suffering involved.
As a vegan chef, I am always excited to try new things in the kitchen. This book is a good example. In these pages you will find a great number of original, fun, and easy to prepare recipes. You'll discover new textures, new flavors, new ways of preparing one hundred percent healthy and natural ingredients.
I hope you enjoy and that your dinner guests also enjoy the offerings of Vegan Delights. And if you would like to try out some more recipes, don't forget to visit www.lujuriavegana.com. I'll be waiting for you there with new ideas! To finish up, I'd like to give my most sincere thanks to the whole team at Editorial Océano. Without them, this book would not have been possible. A million heartfelt thanks.
Vegan temptations
You can make some really good things as a vegan. This is the philosophy of Toni Rodríguez, a young and enthusiastic cook who one day left behind his job as a tech and created Lujuria Vegana—an intriguing name for a team of professionals that create and commercialize on a daily basis an innumerable amount of exquisite vegan delicacies free of any animal-based ingredients. Toni is self-taught and always experimenting with new flavors, aromas, or textures with which he astonishes a clientele that is greater and more loyal every day. He has both vegan and non-vegan clients because his innovative cakes, brownies, cookies, and pies are a delicious temptation that attracts all types: people who have high cholesterol, people with allergies to eggs and/or lactose, people who want to skip their diet without going too far, or those who simply want to try something new, surprising, and delicious.
Cravings a la carte
Toni Rodríguez's pioneering business venture started in his small home kitchen. There he experimented with all types of sweet and salty ingredients and investigated vegan alternatives to create amazing recipes. He spent many hours by the flames and, little by little, began picking up the necessary experience to realize his dream: creating the first vegan bakery and cake shop in Europe. Said and done: alongside the entrepreneurial Rosa Avellaneda, they started a professional enterprise that soon began to gather excellent reviews. His sweet offerings could not be more appetizing and suggestive: vegan cheesecake, crisp coconut cookies, raspberry brittle, chocolate bombs with peanut butter mouse and chocolate glaze, carrot cake with a vegan cheese topping . . .
A delight to the senses
The author of this book is part of a new generation of young chefs dedicated to bringing vegan cuisine to the broad public. By combining top quality raw materials with the audacity and originality of their creations, they are breathing new life into this form of cooking without animal-based ingredients.
Through this book, the young chef invites us to discover a new concept of vegan cooking with a variety of recipes that are surprising and very healthy and will be the delight of our dinner guests. A simple, fresh, and original showpiece, with a creative and innovative touch. And definitely, a vegan delight for the senses.

There are more and more people who want to reduce their consumption of animal-based foods: to avoid the exploitation of other species, for health reasons, or to reduce the environmental impact of the cattle industry. The motivations are quite varied and for this reason there are different types of vegetarianism. The one thing that all vegetarian diets have in common is the rejection of the consumption of meat, be it from birds, mammals, or fish. It's true that some people who eat fish call themselves vegetarians, but the truth is that they should be called semivegetarians.
Generally, you can establish the following classifications according to which animal-based products a person wishes to avoid:
Vegetarian. Do not eat meat, fish, or their derived products, although they may or may not include in their diets the consumption of eggs or dairy products. The word vegetarian comes from the Latin vegetus, which means healthy and was officially used for the first time on the 30th of September of 1847 during the inaugural ceremony of the Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom. Previously, people who did not eat meat were known as Pythagoreans, in honor of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, who is considered to be the first modern vegetarian.
Vegan. Excludes, as much as possible, every manner of exploitation and cruelty towards animals, be this food, clothing, or any other use. In culinary terms, veganism refers to the practice of eliminating all animal-based products, including meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, milk, honey, and all their derivatives. Vegans are also known as strict vegetarians. Their precursors were Elsie Shrigley and Donald Watson, vegetarians who in 1944 founded the Vegan Society of the United Kingdom. According to Watson, veganism is a life philosophy that excludes all forms of exploitation and cruelty towards the animal kingdom and fosters reverence for life. In practice, it is applied by following a pure vegetarian diet and it encourages the use of alternatives to all materials derived partially or completely from animals.
Ovo-lacto vegetarian. Do not eat meat, fish, or their derived products, but they eat eggs and dairy products. This is the most widespread form of vegetarianism.
Lacto-vegetarian. They do not eat meat, fish and their derived products, eggs, or any animal-based products except for dairy products.
Crudivore. They follow a vegetarian diet composed basically of uncooked fruits and vegetables.
Frugivore. They only eat fresh or dry fruits and nuts.
Macrobiotics. This group centers its diet on cereals, vegetables in season, and whole foods.

Good reasons to be vegan
Following a vegan diet with no animal-based ingredients is a whole philosophy and way of life that may be followed for different reasons. Here is a brief explanation of the main reasons.
Improving your health
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, vegetarian diets that are adequately planned, including totally vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthy, nutritionally adequate, and can provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for every stage of life, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and even for athletes.
Without a doubt, vegan food is among the healthiest in existence, capable of notably reducing illnesses and health disorders. To begin with, vegans possess much lower levels of cholesterol than those who eat meat and, consequently, suffer less frequently from cardiovascular afflictions. As
