Ivan Perisic was involved as Inter drew 1-1 with Schalke in a friendly match, just days before they start the International Champions Cup.
Inter's mixed pre-season continued on Friday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Schalke in Changzhou.
A second-half strike from Daniel Caligiuri looked enough to give the Bundesliga side the win, but Jeison Murillo's thunderbolt earned a draw for Luciano Spalletti's side, who start their International Champions Cup campaign against Lyon in three days' time.
Manchester United target Ivan Perisic played the first 45 minutes of the match, despite the persistent speculation over his future, but made little impact as a still-disjointed Inter made it a win, a defeat and a draw from three friendly matches.
Spalletti named Perisic in a strong starting line-up at the Changzhou Olympic Sports Center as he sought a response to last week's 2-1 loss to Nurnberg.
There was little by way of goalmouth action in the opening 45 minutes, though, with Caligiuri denied perhaps the clearest opportunity by Yuto Nagatomo's timely intervention from Weston McKennie's cross.
Spalletti made a handful of changes at half-time, including replacing Perisic with Joao Mario, and Inter certainly looked the stronger of the sides in the early part of the second half.
Stevan Jovetic fired a shot straight at Alexander Nubel from point-blank range before Marcelo Brozovic rippled the side-netting with a free-kick from 20 yards out.
Just before the hour mark, however, Schalke snatched their lead. A fine run from Bernard Tekpetey ended with him sliding the ball into the path of Caligiuri, who cut inside past Nagatomo's sliding challenge and fired low past Samir Handanovic.
Gabriel Barbosa swiped at thin air when attempting to reach a promising throughball but Inter found their equaliser soon afterwards thanks to some brilliance from Murillo.
The 25-year-old cut in from the right wing before unleashing a dipping left-foot shot that soared over Nubel and into the top-left corner.
Nubel made a brilliant save to stop Pablo Insua turning Nagatomo's cross into his own net but, despite continued Inter pressure, there was to be no winner.

Published December 3, 2021 11:15am AEDT
The BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) share price is heading higher in early trade, up 1.76% to $40.41.
This comes as the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) mining giant moves forward with plans to unify its 2 companies into a single listing on the Aussie exchange.
BHP share price lifts on unification plans
The BHP share price is on the rise after the miner's board of directors said it is moving forward with unifying the company's corporate structure under its existing Australian parent company, BHP Group Limited.
As you may be aware, BHP has been operating under what's known as a dual-listed company (DLC) corporate structure. The DLC came into being when BHP and Billiton merged in 2001.
This formed 2 parent companies, BHP Group Limited in Australia trading on the ASX and BHP Group Plc in the United Kingdom trading on the London Stock Exchange. Both companies operate under the same board of directors and management. Their shares carry the same voting and economic rights.
BHP first reported its intent to unify its corporate structure back on 17 August. The BHP share price has dropped by 21% since then.
In a release this morning, the board said it "believes unification is in the best interests of BHP shareholders".
The company plans to publish a Shareholder Circular and a Prospectus with additional information next Wednesday 8 December.
Subject to shareholder and certain regulatory approvals, BHP expects to complete the unification by 31 January 2021.
What did management say?
Commenting on the unification, BHP's chair, Ken MacKenzie said:
BHP is in great shape and now is the right time to make strategic, transformative changes for the future. Unification will create one parent company, one share register and one share price globally. We believe this is the best structure for BHP to provide the resources the world needs and create long-term shareholder value.
BHP's CEO, Mike Henry added:
A unified corporate structure will make BHP simpler and more agile, with the strategic flexibility required to shape our portfolio to deliver value through producing the commodities needed for continued economic growth, improved living standards, electrification and decarbonisation.
We will retain listings in the UK, US, South Africa and Australia, providing BHP with continued access to global markets and giving shareholders the opportunity to benefit from our portfolio, management and operating performance for long-term value.
BHP share price snapshot
The BHP share price has been under pressure amid declining the iron ore price, with shares down 6% year-to-date. That compares to a gain of 8% posted by the ASX 200.
Over the past month, BHP shares are up 12%.

Scenes from the Signing of Maryland's Marriage Equality Law
March 2, 2012 /0 Comments/in Marriage & Family /by Francis DeBernardo, Editor
At the signing ceremony: Governor Martin O'Malley (center) is flanked by Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown (left) and House Speaker Michael Busch (right). Catholic lesbian Delegate Heather Mizeur is smiling behind Brown.Both O'Malley and Brown are Catholic, and Busch was raised Catholic, (Photo by Sister Jeannine Gramick)
On March 1st, 2012, Maryland became the eighth state (plus the District of Columbia) to enact marriage equality legislation for lesbian and gay couples. Governor Martin O'Malley became the fifth Catholic governor to sign a marriage equality bill, joining Washington State's Christine Gregoire, New York's Andrew Cuomo, Maine's John Baldacci, and New Hampshire's John Lynch.
Among the religious and civic leaders attending the signing ceremony was New Ways Ministry's Co-Founder, Sister Jeannine Gramick. "I was so proud that our Catholic governor relied on our faith's tradition of equality and justice for all people, including lesbian and gay people," Sister Jeannine said. "It was an honor to participate in this moment, and I'm glad I was there to show the strong support that Catholics have for marriage equality for lesbian and gay couples."
At the signing ceremony: Governor O'Malley hands the pen he signed to Delegate Maggie McIntosh, a lesbian. Sister Jeannine can be seen cheering in the white box .
O'Malley prefaced his signing of the bill with a statement which reverberated with Catholic social teaching:
"For a free and diverse people, for a people of many faiths, for a people committed to the principle of religious freedom, the way forward is always found through greater respect for the equal rights of all, for the human dignity of all.
"Religious freedom was the very reason for our state's founding, and at the heart of religious freedom is the freedom of individual conscience.
"If there is a thread that unites all of our work here together, it is the thread of human dignity, the dignity of work, the dignity of a job, the dignity of every child's home, the dignity of every individual."
On behalf of Catholics, New Ways Ministry thanked Governor O'Malley and the Maryland legislature in ad appearing in today's print edition of The Baltimore Sun:
Equally Blessed, the coalition of Catholic groups that support equality for LGBT people in the church and wider society, released this statement today on the signing of marriage equality legislation in the state of Maryland:
"We are deeply gratified that Governor Martin O'Malley has joined fellow Catholic governors Andrew Cuomo of New York and Christine Gregoire of Washington in signing marriage equality legislation into law.
"These governors represent the sentiments of Catholics in this country far better than the church's hierarchy, which has spent millions of dollars in an increasingly futile campaign to prolong the era in which secular governments actively discriminate against same-gender couples and their families.
At the signing ceremony: Sister Jeannine Gramick poses with Catholic couple Dave Kolesar and Patrick Wojahn. (Photo by Dan Furmansky)
"We applaud Governor O'Malley and the state legislators who recognized that every human being, regardless of sexual orientation, is created in God's image, and must be treated with dignity and respect by their neighbors and their government, and we pray that some day such an understanding will take root among the bishops of our church.
"As a coalition we were honored to work of behalf of marriage equality in Maryland by placing an op-ed in The Washington Post making the Catholic case for same-gender marriage. In addition, three coalition members, Sister Jeannine Gramick and Francis DeBernardo of New Ways Ministry, and Allen Rose of DignityUSA testified before the House of Delegates.
"We are particularly thankful to Governor O'Malley, who distributed copies of Mr. DeBernardo's booklet, Marriage Equality: A Positive Catholic Approach, and who will be attending New Ways Ministry's Seventh National Symposium on Catholicism and Homosexuality, March 15-17 in Baltimore.
"It is fitting that Sister Jeannine, one of the most effective advocates for LGBT people in the church, will be participating in today's signing ceremony."

Thanks for this information!
I hope, too, that the symposium is a great success. Unfortunately, because I am too ill myself, I cannot attend. I have urged my community to send someone, but so far no reply. I wonder if you're going to record or video tape the talks and discussions?

Sitting, watching the silicon dribble through the cyber-glass, I ponder the meaning of life.
Parked at a desk while my mind wanders, I have done my homework… please, Sir, can't I go out and play yet? And the hours tick by. I clean the office, sort things, file things, re-sort my cabinets, and wait for someone who doesn't care about doing their job, a weak link in the corporate shackles, (but just strong enough that no one is willing to pull that particular plug and rattle his chain), to allow me to do mine.
I am drifting on a sea of useless information, all colours and numbers and artifice. The reality of the blister on my left heel is a far more tangible reminder that some things lead straight back down to earth.
My left sock is wet, inside and out.

Hush, Hush (now available in paperback!)
A sacred oath, a fallen angel, a forbidden love.
Nora Grey has had a rough year. Her father was murdered and as a result, her mother had thrown herself into work, leaving Nora alone most of the time in their secluded farmhouse. Despite this, she manages to be a very good girl, never missing school, never even driving without permission.
But when the transfer student, Patch, gets assigned as her lab partner in biology, from the moment the two are together, there's an inescapable magnetism that draws Nora deeper and deeper into his dark world. When she discovers the enormous V-shaped scars on his back, she discovers that there is a battle going on between the fallen and the immortal. And she's the object.
The magnetism she feels is now more inescapable than ever.
Crescendo (in stores Oct. 19th)
The sequel to the New York Times Best selling phenomenon, Hush, Hush!
Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.
The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?
Becca Fitzpatrick's first book, Hush, Hush debuted as a New York Times bestseller. She graduated college with a degree in health, which she promptly abandoned for storytelling. When not writing, she's most likely running, prowling sale racks for shoes or watching crime dramas on TV. She lives in Colorado. Find out more at beccafitzpatrick.com.

Now in its third incarnation the Skoda Superb has had awards thrown at it left right and centre over the last 12 months. What Car made it car of the year, Auto Express named it best family car of the year and it even made it to the final few in World Car of the Year.
2016 was a busy year for the Superb, so with all that positive attention we had to check out if its namesake was true.
Opting for the hatch version in SE L Excutive trim, our 1.4 litre turbo Superb weighed in at £26,765. It did however have a few choice options that bumped the final price up to £30,245.
The main culprits to the hike included the leather interior (£1,350), Dynamic Chassis Control (£750), metallic paint (£555), and in car WiFi (£300).
All of the VAG cars these days are going down the chiselled, angular look, and the Superb is no different. Horizontal lines are the main flavour, from the headlights, to the simple streak down each flank, the theme is the same. It doesn't stand out, it's not in your face, but it looks smart, masculine and modern.
Arguably it's prettier than its VW brother the Passat, it leaves the current Mondeo standing and the Mazda 6 is looking a tad dated these days.
Thinking of purchasing right now? You may want to hold off a little while longer. As Autocar have reported, and spied, the Superb is getting a facelift sometime this year.
No doubt some re-sculpting of the front grille and a few tweaks to the lights all round. We will have the very latest when we know more.
Being powered by a puny little 1.4 turbo we didn't hold out much hope for the Superb's performance. But, you should never judge a book by its cover. With 148 BHP coupled with the ever slick DSG gearbox you're left with a 0-62 time of 8.8 seconds.
8.8 seconds is pretty spectacular from a 1.4 turbo, in a car weighing 1,320kg and measuring 4.86 metres in length.
One of the hefty options on our Superb was the Dynamic Chassis Control, this gives you three selectable options for the suspension – Comfort, Normal and Sport. The system works via an electronic valve in the shock that controls the flow of the oil inside.
Whilst it may not be as clever as the magnetic dampers in JLR products, it certainly has an effect. Switching to Comfort for a long motorway drive the Superb just glides over undulations and expansion gaps.
Turn off onto a country road and switch it into Sport for a more controlled, stiffer feel with heightened steering and sharper brakes.
You wouldn't really want to leave it in Sport for rougher roads though, as it is fairly harsh, but the 18" alloys probably didn't help.
There is an option for a manual 'box with the 1.4 TSI, but the DSG makes it an effortless affair, the changes are sublime and when knocked into Sport mode it will wring every last rev from that diminutive engine.
The 1.4 performs admirably, it never feels lacking even with in gear acceleration and for the private buyers out there it has to be the engine of choice for a family cruiser.
On the inside the Skoda is yet again, Superb. Quality is high with more than a whiff of Audi about it with regards to the switchgear and infotainment setup. The same can be said about the rest of the VAG marques.
The 'Columbus' infotainment system is standard from SE trim, it has an 8.0" touch screen that senses when you're about to make an input, bringing the menus onto the screen and keeping it clutter free when not needed. It connects with everything, Apple Car Play, Android Auto, USB, Bluetooth handsfree, two SD Card slots, a DVD drive and DAB radio – naturally.
Another optional extra was the SmartGate system and in car WiFi. The latter enables you to turn the car into a WiFi hotspot by placing a SIM card into the car.
SmartGate allows you to connect your phone to the car and use a plethora of downloadable SKODA apps. From monitoring your driving style for efficiency or being really geeky and going in depth checking out voltages, boost and temperatures.
Some of the apps are handy, whilst others won't really be of any value. Having the same setup sync over the cloud like BMW's ConnectedDrive would have been an easier way to do things.
Rear seat legroom is…Superb, aha (it's probably getting old now). There's plenty of knee and head room, between the front seats sits an LCD clock that also shows the inside temperature if the air con is switched on.
The lack of actual rear seat climate control and heated seats is a bit of a shame, especially when the whole car exudes a limousine like quality.
Boot space is quite simply ridiculous. A weekend's luggage looks lost in its cavernous depths. The official measurement is 625 litres, that's 165 more than a Rolls Royce Phantom!
So the range topping Skoda really does deserve the badge that sits on its rear.
From its high quality interior, adaptable ride and smart looks you can see why it has won a slew of awards in the last 12 months.
We really loved the 1.4 TSI engine, and with dieselgate still tainting the derv market the 1.4 petrol could be the power plant of choice.
Over 300 miles we achieved 36 MPG (even with the clever cylinder shutdown technology) across a wide range of roads, the official Urban figure is 44.8, so we weren't far off.
Left in Eco and with a lighter foot 38/40 MPG should be achievable. After those 300 miles we still had over half a tank of fuel left, from a 66 litre tank. Superb.

Maritime UFO Encounters: Strange Lights and "USOs" Observed by Ships at Sea
transmedium
In recent days, the forthcoming results of a report by the Navy's UAP Task Force on unusual aerial objects observed by the U.S. military have remained an item of both speculation, and anticipation. In the days ahead of its release, some information about what it will likely contain has already been made available to the public, notably due to early briefings on its findings reported by the New York Times.
One consistent feature of the United States Department of Defense's current UFO evaluations is that the objects, which are often referred to as "aerial" objects, are quite commonly associated with water. In some instances, the objects have reportedly been observed entering or emerging from the water, prompting their labeling as "transmedium" craft; that is, a form of technology that appears to be equally capable of traversing the air, or moving beneath the surface of oceans and other bodies of water.
While this may be news to many, it is nothing new in the broader scope of UFO reports from over the years. In fact, a significant number of sightings collected during the years of Project Blue Book, the U.S. Air Force's official inquiry into UFOs that lasted from the early 1950s until the late 1960s, also conveyed instances where UFOs were observed by the crews aboard ships at sea. In at least some instances, these objects appeared to possess the novel "transmedium" capabilities described in relation to certain more recent UFO incidents.
One example found within the Project Blue Book files occurred on November 8, 1959, and involved a civilian ship, the SS City of Almaco. The ship was traveling north of Hawaii on its way from Yokohama to Los Angeles, California. Suddenly, three crew members observed a brightly lit object following a low, arcing movement through the sky as it passed downward and into the water. The incident prompted the ship to change its course to observe the area where the light appeared to enter the water, but nothing was found in the vicinity where the object had been seen.
Blue Book investigators came to the not-unreasonable conclusion that the object seen by the crew aboard the SS City of Almaco had likely been a meteor. However, some of the other Blue Book sightings at sea are more perplexing.
Another notable incident was logged on January 11, 1966, by the crew aboard the SS Morgantown Victory as it sailed approximately 1,070 miles southeast of Tokyo. Three witnesses aboard the vessel—the Helmsman, Bow Lookout, and Third Mate—all observed a large, illuminated cigar-shaped object approaching their ship. The object, which produced a yellow-orange color, appeared from in the direction of the horizon and reportedly made a turn of nearly 180-degrees to avoid passing directly over the ship, seemingly indicating an awareness on part of the object of its presence. At its closest position to the ship, the crewmen estimated it to have been within one mile of them, never exceeding an elevation of around 400 feet.
The crew observed the object for 30 seconds while it hovered in place, after which it then passed in front of their vessel. The crewmen noted that the brightest portion of the craft appeared to be along its front, with a slightly reduced glow further back along the body of the object, although it produced what they characterized as a fiery-looking tail. The observers watched the craft for close to three minutes, estimating its length to have been as much as 250 feet, and with a height of about 40 feet. Upon reporting the incident, the ship's Master became concerned that the crew might have witnessed an aircraft crashing into the ocean and ordered a search of the area. The ship conducted two turns, but no evidence of any aircraft or other objects on the surface of the ocean could be found.
Blue Book investigators concluded that the object crewmembers aboard the SS Morgantown Victory had witnessed was the reentry of the Soviet Cosmos 53, decaying as it passed through Earth's atmosphere.
Even in the years after Blue Book, sightings at sea of unusual objects would continue. One very interesting observation that appeared in 1977 in the Marine Observer recounted a sighting by the Skipper and Radio Officer aboard the M.T. Farnelia, which involved an unusual light they watched for several minutes.
According to the Radio Officer's account, "At 2307 GMT while I was visiting the wheelhouse, the Skipper pointed out to me an object flying across the sky. It had already been in view for some five minutes or more and was first observed on a bearing of 140°T heading due North. I first sighted it on a bearing of 050°T.
The Officer's account states that the location of the light "was constantly kept by myself and the Skipper with the aid of binoculars from the time I first sighted the object," which he described as "a brilliant light traveling at a very high altitude, leaving a bright V-shaped trail of rays which could be likened to the sun's rays as they would appear from behind a cloud."
As the sailors observed the light, they watched as it moved toward the north, then after traveling for some time, it appeared to return toward them while descending in altitude toward sea level.
"I would point out here that there was no visual evidence of the object actually turning back," the officer noted, "but rather as though it had been put into reverse."
Strangely, by now the object's appearance seemed to have changed as well. The Radio Officer stated that the craft was now "totally circular in shape," and that the "outer edge of the circle I would describe as glowing and within that was another circular object, more intense, and within that was a brilliant pulsating white light as when the object was first sighted." During this time, the object appeared to reach its closest point in proximity to the sailors, still descending in altitude as it moved.
"The object stayed in this position for approx. two minutes and then vanished within the outer glow, this glow finally fading from our sight also. At 2320 nothing was left to be seen of either the object or the glow," the report states. Although the object could be seen descending before it vanished, neither observer was able to discern where it might have gone, or whether it passed into the ocean.
Such reports only represent a small sampling of the maritime UFO incidents that have been logged over the years, the likes of which may see renewed attention in the days ahead with the release of the public version of the UAP Task Force report. However, for longtime proponents of a UFO reality, these sightings involving "USOs" entering, exiting, or flying over water are nothing new, and perhaps represent one of the most consistent and perplexing aspects of the broader phenomenon.

I wanted to create some fun business cards for myself that incorporated design but also had a hand-made feel. I started off with a large piece of white matte-board and cut out blocks of linoleum which I made into shapes and stamped all over. I then cut out a different set of shapes from some colorful Japanese paper and glued these over top then rolled through a press to keep it all flat. On some, I screen printed black text on the back and with others I screen printed over pieces of tracing paper which I then wrapped and folded over the entire card.

IVC Filters Lawyer
On August 9, 2010, the FDA issued a warning letter stating that since 2005, the FDA has received over 900 device adverse event reports involving IVC filters. The FDA expressed concern that these IVC filters, which are intended only for short-term placement, are not always removed once a patient's risk for pulmonary subsides.
Unfortunately, removing the devices has proven to be problematic. A March 2013 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that less than 9 percent of filters were successfully removed, with 8 percent of IVC patients suffering a deep vein thrombosis, and 2.4 percent suffering pulmonary embolism, in spite of having an IVC in place.
On May 6, 2014, the FDA published an update to its August 9, 2010 warning letter, providing information on then-recently published research and postmarket studies for IVC filters. Specifically, the FDA developed a "quantitative decision analysis using publicly available data available in the medical literature to assess whether there is a time period during which the risk of having an IVC filter in place is expected to outweigh the benefits. The decision analysis (Decision Analysis of Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filters in Patients without Pulmonary Embolism) was published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders in October 2013. The mathematical model suggested that if the patient's transient risk for pulmonary embolism has passed, the risk/benefit profile begins to favor removal of the IVC filter between 29 and 54 days after implantation."

Q: protect http request URL i am getting remote JSON value into to my client app as below.
var $Xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient({
        onerror : function($e) {
            Ti.API.info($e);
        },
        timeout : 5000,
    });

    $Xhr.send();
    $Xhr.onload = function() {

            } catch($e) {

                Ti.API.info($e);
            } finally {
                $Xhr = null;
            }
        }
    };

My json URL is static. i would like to protect this URL from stranger eyes after creating APK file or publishing for iOS.
Also my server side support PHP. I have thouhgt MD5, SHA etc. but i didn't develop any project about this algortim.
Do you have any suggestion or approach?
Thank you in advance.

A: I would just say that it is not possible for you to "hide" the end point.  Your url will always to visible to the user because otherwise user's browser wouldn't know how to actually post it to your server.
If you meant to only hide the json object, even that is not totally possible. If your javascript knows what the values are then any of your client smart enough to understand javascript will be able to decode your encoded json object. Remember, your javascript has decoded object and a user would have full access to it.  There is no protection against that. At best, you can hide it from everyday user by encoding to with md5 or sha as you put it.

A: I you wish to restrict access to app user only, you will need to authenticate your users first.
Once they are authenticated, you should generate a hash by concatenating userid (or any user identifying data) and a key that you know (a string will do it), and hashing it using any hashing method, md5 would be enough for that kind of usage I guess, SHA is good anyway.
The next step would be to send this hash with every AJAX request to your server. consider it as an additional data.
Finally, server-side, before treating the request and fetching the data to be sent, just generate a hash the same way you did in your app, using the userid of the requesting user and the same "secret" key you chose. You can now compare both hashes and see if they're identical. If not, then it's probably that someone tried to forge a request from outside your app.
Note that it could be possible for someone authenticated to get his hash (which depends on his ID) and then use it in one of his applications, so it may be a good idea to track the requests server-side in order to check if there's any suspicious usage of your API. You could aswell change your "secret key" regularily (forcing an update of your app though) or define an array with a different key for each day of the year in both your app and server code, so that each individual hashkey will change everyday, recurring each year.

Spied! Audi S7 Caught on Camera for the First Time!
by writer: Scott Evans May 18, 2010
When we caught the production Audi A7 playing on the Nurburgring last month, we were disappointed to see it had lost some of its concept's more aggressive touches. Turns out Audi saved them for the S7, spotted here.
Caught on the streets of Europe, we have here the first solid evidence of an S-tuned model of the upcoming A7. We'd heard rumors before, but this prototype confirms it. Many of the traits we missed on the regular A7 are back on the S7 including bigger air intakes in the front fascia, different taillights and a new rear fascia with the traditional quad exhaust. Really beefing up the look are a set of blacked-out wheels that look almost like they came off a Lamborghini, but are more likely to be optional equipment than standard. They do a wonderful job of showing off the monster brakes, regardless.
Though we've now confirmed that the S7 exists, it's still unclear what powers it. Either Audi's 4.2-liter V-8 or 5.2-liter V-10 are possible, as is the W-12 engine that will be returning in the new A8 next year. There are rumors of an RS7 model as well, which would likely take the big V-10 and leave the S7 with the V-8, though it isn't confirmed either. Base A7s are expected to use Audi's new 3.0-liter supercharged V-6.
No word yet on when the S7 will debut, though it looks complete enough to join the A7 on stage for its expected debut this fall in Paris. It's more likely, though, that Audi will wait until later in the year or next year to launch the S7 to generate more hype, as well as give the engineers a bit more time for fine-tuning.

American birth rate plummets to 30-year low

HYATTSVILLE, Maryland, January 11, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics has announced that the national fertility rate is the lowest it has been in 30 years.
The American birth rate has been insufficient to sustain the population since 1971, but the 2017 numbers indicate a 30-year low. According to CNN, the federal agency reported that the total fertility rate for the U.S. overall that year was 1,765.5 per 1,000 women, 16 percent below the level needed for a population to replace itself: 2,100 births per 1,000 women.
The total number of births in the U.S. in 2017 was 3,853,472, a drop of two percent from 2016.
Women of all age groups except the over 40-set had fewer babies in 2017. According to the National Center of Birth Statistics:
"The general fertility rate was 60.2 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44, down 3% from 2016 and another record low for the United States. Birth rates declined for nearly all age groups of women under 40, but rose for women in their early 40s. The birth rate for teenagers aged 15–19 was down 7% in 2017 to 18.8 births per 1,000 women; rates declined for both younger (aged 15–17) and older (aged 18–19) teenagers."
There were some interesting differences between birth rates for states.
South Dakota and Utah were the only states to reach "replacement rate." South Dakota was the biggest winner overall, with a rate of 2,227.5 live births per 1,000 women, and Utah came in second with 2,120.5. North Dakota nearly made it with a rate of 2,065 live births per 1,000 women. The same can be said for Nebraska, which had a rate of 2,062. In contrast, the birth rate in Washington, D.C. was 1,421 per 1000 women.
CNN published remarks by Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, who said that fertility rates have been dropping consistently.
"We've been seeing fertility rates go down, and I think it has a lot to do with women and men, couples in particular, having much more control over their reproductive lives," he said.
Benjamin did acknowledge that a low fertility rate isn't necessary good for society.
"I think the concern is – and there is a concern – having a fertility rate that doesn't allow us in effect to perpetuate our society," he said. "But we may very well over time start seeing this reversed or flattened out, but that remains to be seen."
CNN noted that "between 2007 and 2017, total fertility rates in the United States fell 12% in rural counties, 16% in suburban counties and 18% in large metro counties, according to a separate CDC data brief released in October."
In 2016, approximately 884,524 Americans were killed before birth in legal abortions.

Arlin Jack's preschool had a field trip this morning to Fauntleroy Park's creek for a Salmon release. The tots got to hold the fish while they were still in the net and experience them wiggle about...it's funny how boys can squeal like little girls when they get excited.
Arlin found a slug...he didn't wanna let go of it...ew.
Arlin and his pal Trevor looking for the Salmon they released.
The field trip was fun, Fauntleroy park is really green, felt like I was walking through a postcard. Arlin thought it was pretty neat to see the fish, although he didn't quite master the proper Salmon release technique...Judy Pickens, led the field trip, instructing the tots: to hold one hand over the cup, stand on the rock platform next to Mrs. Renee, then carefully lean over placing your cup into the water then gently move your hand and free the Salmon.
Arlin on his turn grabbed the cup one handed, turned half way around (never making it to the rock) and flung his fish 3 ft into the air, watching them belly flop into the creek. Sadly, quite a few tots followed Arlin's lead on his release method...poor fishies.
So fun! and look those cute boots (you + him). gorgeous pictures, Tyler.
How darn cute is he??? I better get out my knitting needles again and knit a bigger size for next year.


To correctly machine a part, it must be held in a fixturing setup that guarantees a definite location, or position, with respect to a part's datum points or surfaces. This must be repeatable, part-after-part.
This program, part of the Fundamentals of Tool Design Video Series, explores the various issues influencing the development of fixtures, as well as, the basic fixture types and classifications, modular fixturing, and fixture design cost-to-benefit ratio concerns.
The Fixture/Machine Classifications segment covers fixture types, and looks at milling fixtures, such as vises, clamps, and tombstones; lathe fixtures, including chucks, collets, and between centers turning; grinding fixtures, such as magnetic tables, and cylindrical grinding fixtures; and both internal and external broaching fixtures.
The Modular Fixtures segment details the use of component kits to quickly construct both t-slot and dowel hole/tapped hole modular fixturing systems.
The Fixture Cost-to-Benefit Ratio segment highlights this and many other major concerns in the fixture design development process.

Welcome back from Spring Break! We hope you were able to experience your education of Landscape Architecture outside of the classroom and in one of the AMAZING National Parks located in California. 2016 marks 100 years after the National Park Service was created by Woodrow Wilson. Frederick Law Olmsted laid the foundations for the management of national parks through his vision for Yosemite in 1865, and his son, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. was instrumental in the drafting of the Organic Act.
San Francisco-based Landscape Architecture firm RHAA continues this good service through their work on almost fifty projects in ten different national parks. Take a closer look at these projects and consider where your own visions of the landscape can take us in the next 100 years!
Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey is the landscape architect for a multi-disciplinary team providing planning and design services to the National Park Service for the planning, design, and treatment of historic structures and landscapes related to the conversion of the Presidio of San Francisco from an active military base to a national park. The projects required designs that balance preservation of the Presidio's cultural landscape with the needs of proposed new uses and regulations such as accessibility. Specific projects have involved conversion of historic housing for use as overnight accommodations for visitors. The Presidio is a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This work continues Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey's involvement with the GGNRA from the initial planning at the park's inception to this major addition.
Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey created a multidisciplinary study of the San Francisco Waterfront and Alcatraz Island which led to a plan for the first major federal recreation area in an urban setting. The plan was based on a two-volume data baseline and analysis, and involved developing diagram alternatives, and environmentally assessing the alternatives, formulating policies and guidelines, followed by area programming and schematic plans. RHAA considered citizens input at each stage of the process through more than 150 local workshops and public forums, written suggestions, petitions and questionnaires.
Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey was hired to lead a multidisciplinary team for a challenging site restoration at Glacier Point, one of the top attractions at Yosemite National Park. The area near Glacier Point, which includes the former site of a hotel, has become degraded and barren under the pressures of 400,000 visitors during its five-month season. RHAA took the challenge to redesign the site and facilities to handle the large number of visitors and restore native vegetation, providing a proper setting for the spectacular vistas. A new view terrace and amphitheater provide viewing opportunities, informal seating and a place for interpretive programs. The design goal of the project was to meld the visitor facilities and the spectacular site in a way that is harmonious and has a timeless quality.
Yosemite Institute provides outdoor-science based environmental education in Yosemite National Park to thousands of students and teachers every year. The Institute is building a new Environmental Education Campus in the park, creating a living-teaching role model of sustainability where students not only hear about living "green" but experience it firsthand. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding natural ecosystems, the goal is to create a campus that reflects a healthy interdependence between the natural environment and human activities. The new facilities will integrate the latest sustainable building and energy concepts with the site's inherent attributes to provide an interactive model of sustainability that engages program participants directly. RHAA is tasked to analyze potential sites, provide site layout alternatives, create construction documents, and help implement the project during the construction phase.

New Potter "Dark Arts" Projection Show Coming to Both U.S. Universal Studios Resorts
© Universal Studios
A brand new nighttime projection mapping show has been announced to open this year at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Islands of Adventure, both of which are home to Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade themed areas.
The new show will again utilize the amazing Hogwarts Castle as the base for the experience, and will be called Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle.
According to Universal Studios, "this exciting all-new light projection experience will cast a mesmerizing display unleashing eerie creatures and villains upon the stone walls of the castle. Illuminating the darker side of the Wizarding World, this spectacle of music and lights will unleash some of the eeriest creatures and darkest wizards of the Harry Potter series, cast ominously against the stone walls of the castle."
While this certainly sounds like something that would fit in rather well with the Halloween and Fall season, the premier date for the attraction at both parks has not been revealed yet. The production will feature some of the most fearsome creatures from the Harry Potter series, including the highly feared Dementors and Death Eaters, but also the Acromantula, Mountain Trolls, and Thestrals.
These baddies will try to take over the Castle, and eventually "the chilling visage of the Dark Lord, Voldemort," will appear to finalize the takeover... only to have one of the wizarding world's most effective defensive charms cast to protect it.
Stay tuned for more details on when you can experience the Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle at both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Set up a website. Professional or business websites can also use the Affiliate program. However, they are best used with people who do not sell similar products on their website, since Amazon's marketplace can drive business away. If you have a website promoting different products, a club, a non-profit or a service, then you can recommend quality products on your site and make money doing it.
I insist my writers actually read the books, test the cameras and use the software products they are reviewing. I encourage them to be as genuine and unbiased as possible, to point out both the pros and cons of the product. While there's some temptation to hype up a product and only talk about its positive points, a real review will help your reader relationship over the long haul and I find actually helps promote sales.


Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genes at linked or independent loci can occur at gametic and zygotic levels known asgametic LD and zygotic LD, respectively. Gametic LD is well known for its roles in fine-scale mapping of quantitative trait loci, genomic selection and evolutionary inference. The less-well studied is the zygotic LD and its components that can be also estimated directly from the unphased SNPs. Results This study was set up to investigate the genome-wide extent and patterns of zygotic LD and its components in a crossbred cattle population using the genomic data from the Illumina BovineSNP50 beadchip. The animal population arose from repeated crossbreeding of multiple breeds and selection for growth and cow reproduction. The study showed that similar genomic structures in gametic and zygotic LD were observed, with zygotic LD decaying faster than gametic LD over marker distance. The trigenic and quadrigenic disequilibria were generally two- to three-fold smaller than the usual digenic disequilibria (gametic or composite LD). There was less power of testing for these high-order genic disequilibria than for the digenic disequilibria. The power estimates decreased with the marker distance between markers though the decay trend is more obvious for the digenic disequilibria than for high-order disequilibria. Conclusions This study is the first major genome-wide survey of all non-allelic associations between pairs of SNPs in a cattle population. Such analysis allows us to assess the relative importance of gametic LD vs. all other non-allelic genic LDs regardless of whether or not the population is in HWE. The observed predominance of digenic LD (gametic or composite LD) coupled with insignificant high-order trigenic and quadrigenic disequilibria supports the current intensive focus on the use of high-density SNP markers for genome-wide association studies and genomic selection activities in the cattle population.


Cosmetic Dentistry is the intersection of general dentistry and improving the appearance of your smile. Often, cosmetic dentistry involves the whitening of teeth, veneers, or other restorative procedures but there are a wide variety of techniques that we can pull from to craft your smile. It can range from fixing a minor blemish to veneers to a full smile makeover. Cosmetic improvements can have dramatic results on your overall appearance and self-esteem. Even the smallest step can boost your confidence and make you want to smile more. We sincerely believe that the work we do improves the quality of life of our patients and we always strive to give you the prettiest, healthiest smile that we can.
While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, mouth, and smile. Nowadays, dentistry has advanced so that many cosmetic treatments also provide restorative benefits. For example, tooth-colored fillings are frequently used to treat moderate decay or damage. Fillings in the past used to use gold and other materials that had a distracting visual aesthetic. Today's composite filling materials can be colored and sculpted to match the shape and tone of your teeth. Many people choose to have their older fillings replaced with newer, tooth-colored fillings to enhance their appearance.
Small changes that can be done in a single visit include whitening, rounding off uneven or sharp edges, and using tooth-colored fillings to change the shape, size or color, of your teeth. Changes that can be done in a couple of visits include veneers, crowns and bridges, and implants.
If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry, please contact our office to schedule a consultation. This will be a time you can meet with Dr. Krone or Dr. Peroutka to find the plan that is best for you.

Cyproconazol wird als Wirkstoff in Pflanzenschutzmitteln  verwendet und ist eine Mischung von vier stereoisomeren chemischen Verbindungen aus der Gruppe der Triazole.

Gewinnung und Darstellung
Cyproconazol kann, wie auch Tebuconazol und Hexaconazol, durch Reaktion des entsprechenden Epoxids mit Triazol gewonnen werden.

Bei der Gesamtreaktion reagiert 1-(4-Chlorphenyl)-2-cyclopropylethanon mit Methyliodid in Gegenwart von Natriumhydrid gefolgt durch Behandlung mit Dodecyldimethylsulfoniummethylsulfat, wobei das Epoxid als Zwischenprodukt entsteht, welches mit Triazol in Gegenwart einer Base umgesetzt wird.

Eigenschaften
Cyproconazol ist als technisches Produkt ein beiger Feststoff. Die reine Substanz ist farblos und praktisch unlöslich in Wasser.

Stereochemie
Cyproconazol ist eine chirale Verbindung, die zwei Stereozentren enthält. Die Verbindung liegt daher in der Regel als Gemisch von stereoisomeren Molekülen vor, die sich in bestimmten physikalischen Eigenschaften und physiologischen Wirkungen unterscheiden. Durch geeignete Synthesestrategien ("Asymmetrische Synthese") oder Trennverfahren (Racematspaltung) lassen sich gezielt einzelne Stereoisomere herstellen oder isolieren.

Das technische Cyproconazol ist eine Mischung aus allen vier Isomeren in einem Verhältnis von etwa 1:1:1:1 mit zunehmender fungizider Aktivität in der Reihenfolge (S,S) ≤ (S,R) ≪ (R,S) < (R,R). Im Gegensatz zu anderen Triazol-Fungiziden ist keines der einzelnen Isomere wirksamer als die Mischung aller vier, was auf ein Zusammenwirken der Enantiomere hinweist.

Verwendung
Cyproconazol ist ein 1986 angekündigtes und 1989 eingeführtes Breitband-Fungizid gegen Mehltau, Rost und Monilinia, Cercospora, Veninria, Rhizoctonia und Sclerotium. Es wirkt durch Eingriff in die Sterolbiosynthese in den Membranen.

Zulassung
In der Europäischen Union wurde Cyproconazol als Wirkstoff in Pflanzenschutzmitteln am 1. Juni 2011 zugelassen. Die Zulassung endete am 31. Mai 2021 durch Zeitablauf. Sowohl in Deutschland als auch Österreich waren Cyproconazol-haltige Präparate erhältlich. In der Schweiz sind Pflanzenschutzmittel zugelassen, die Cyproconazol als Wirkstoff enthalten.

Rückstände in Lebensmitteln
In der Schweiz gilt für Nüsslisalat ein relativ hoher Rückstandshöchstgehalt von 2,5 Milligramm Cyproconazol pro Kilogramm.

As I mentioned, the Body Beautiful 7 Day Detox is very simple. First thing we do, is train your body to utilize fat for energy. Your body is a machine and it runs on carbs as its primary fuel. So just for this week, we will leave only the minimum amounts of carbs in your nutrition plan. This will allow your body to transition to its secondary fuel source – fats.


Comedy is in a period of extraordinary flux. The past two years have witnessed the reputations of revered comics, such as Louis CK and Aziz Ansari, implode in the wake of #MeToo allegations. Then there is the culture of unearthing old tweets, with standups being held to account for problematic "jokes" they've made online (for Kevin Hart, it even cost him his most high-profile gig to date, hosting the Oscars). There are also increasing fears around political comedy and censorship. This month, Hasan Minhaj's Netflix special was pulled because he criticised the Saudi regime over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, while Michelle Wolf's searing political set at the White House Correspondents Association dinner in 2018 led to the board announcing that 2019 will be the first time in 15 years that a comic would not be presenting the event.
