MoMA workshop #1

Biozentrum, Basel – May 2nd-3rd 2017

The first MoMA workshop will be held at the Biozentrum in Basel, Switzerland on May 2nd-3rd 2017, with the support of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and de.NBI. It will gather researchers and students using microfluidics and microscopy for quantitative microbiology. The aim of the workshop is to introduce participants to  using MoMA, a new image analysis software dedicated to the analysis of mother machine experiments.

Among the key novel features of MoMA is the fact that it solves the segmentation and tracking as a joint optimization task, and the fact that it allows for leveraged editing: a graphical interface lets users view the solutions of the tracking and, whenever a mistake is found, give the software a correcting directive by mouse-click. MoMA then automatically re-optimizes the segmentation and tracking, taking the given directives into account as additional constraints. In this way, user directives automatically fix multiple mistakes at neighboring time points, dramatically increasing the efficiency of curation. More can be found in our online preprint.

MoMA is open source and hosted on GitHub along with its documentation.

MoMA has been developed by Florian Jug (DAIS - de.NBI) and is the result of several years collaboration between the group of Erik van Nimwegen (Biozentrum Basel, SIB) and the group of Gene Myers (MPI Dresden).

Program

The workshop will take place at the Biozentrum (Klingelbergstr. 50), in room BZ105.

Abstract. The animation and rendering of crowds of realistically clothed characters presents a difficult challenge in com- puter graphics, which is further exacerbated when real-time frame rates are required. To date, due to real-time constraints, standard skinning methods have been used to animate the clothes of individuals. The time frame of this book is from late until early , which covers the entire duration of the Coalition for Fair Wages and Working Conditions for Homeworkers. Note that the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, to which I refer throughout this book, amalgamated with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile. 19 Sep Instead, anthropologists largely rely on indirect methods to date the origin of clothes. A study on lice suggested that it was only , years ago when it all began. Researchers found that head lice and lice that live in our clothes separated at around this time.

Carson coyote menace growing
By Sandy Mazza | sandymazza@hotmail.com |
PUBLISHED: July 19, 2012 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 6, 2017 at 7:42 a.m.
A group of Carson residents say they are being terrorized by coyotes, and city leaders aren't doing enough to protect them, even though several of the wild animals have been trapped recently.
The owner of Carson Harbor Village mobile home park – where residents feel most threatened by coyotes – has refused to let the city trap the animals on his property. Liability concerns and protests from animal activists prompted the owner to deny access to a city-contracted trapping firm.
"We are infested. We're prisoners in our own homes," said Carson Harbor Village resident Luris Bell. "We are living in a living hell in the park right now. (Coyotes) have multiplied and walk our streets day and night. They jump our fences. They kill our family pets. They destroy the quality of our lives."
Mayor Jim Dear called the problem a "terrible threat" and a "crisis."
"The attacks are increasing," Dear said. "These wild animals are becoming more and more bold. The risk has risen to the level that we need to take further action immediately."
In response to desperate pleas from residents, the City Council is taking aggressive steps. This week, council members asked residents to call on sheriff's deputies to protect them and their pet dogs and cats. City staff also is researching legal options that would give the city authority to force the park owner to allow trapping.
Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Arthur Escamillas said the Carson station has received few calls about coyote attacks this year, and that there are no current plans for deputies to handle the issue.
Residents began routinely complaining to the City Council about coyotes in the winter and, in February, the city hired Animal Pest Management Services Inc. of Chino to track the coyotes and set snares to trap them. Animal rights activists opposed the city's decision, arguing that preventative measures – such as keeping tight lids on trash cans and not leaving pet food outside – are more effective than trapping.
But city officials disagreed. Animal Pest Management has since trapped and euthanized several coyotes found near Victoria Golf Course, said Public Services General Manager Ray Cruz.
The coyotes are living in marshes and parks near the Home Depot Center, Victoria Golf Course and the mobile home park and are using Carson's flood control channels to move around the city, Cruz said.
"It's a problem that I think is expanding with families having pups," Cruz said. "Some of our residents are feeding them and that doesn't help the situation. We've had a number of dogs and cats killed. We are very concerned."
Residents at Carson Harbor Village were angered this weekend when an 8-pound dog named Princess was taken by a coyote while the dog's owners watched.
"My dog was outside and she heard something," Angie Rios, one of Princess' owners, told the City Council on Tuesday. "She thought it was another dog, but it was a coyote. The coyote went over the fence and got her. Help us with the coyotes please. I beg you."
A group of residents asked the City Council on Tuesday to do something to rid the mobile home park of coyotes. They described regular sightings of the animals, and instances where their pet dogs were confronted.
"I've had problems with coyotes since December until now," Jesus Torres told the council in Spanish, through a translator. "I've been approached by the coyotes several times and am using a stick to chase them away. I'm afraid to walk my dogs."
Dear suggested calling sheriff's deputies to the park to protect residents and pets. Councilwoman Lula Davis-Holmes agreed.
"The residents should do what they need to do to protect themselves," Davis-Holmes said. "When there was a pit bull running loose on my block, I didn't ask permission to protect my child, I called Carson sheriff's department and let them handle it."
City Attorney Bill Wynder said he is seeking ways to get access to the mobile home park to trap coyotes. He asked residents to provide him specific dates and times of sightings, and any photographic evidence.
"The feeling in the past was that the problem was not as extensive as some had believed," Wynder said. "But, for a series of council meetings, we've had reported incidents."
Gabriella Holt echoed the concerns of several other residents, who said they are afraid to let their pets go outside.
"The coyotes have gotten so aggressive, they're starving," Holt said. "We're scared to death. I have a dog, I live alone, and she is my life. When I walk her I feel like I'm going to war. I've got my Mace, my horn."

Calvin: Last summer my 9 yr old kept asking me to take her rock climbing. I took her a handful of times. We knew nothing about rock climbing- we'd use all the colors, climb up to the top and come back down. My kids liked it- but I found this to be a terribly boring and pointless sport. I came only to satisfy my kids and it allowed me to spend time with them!
I posted pics of us climbing on Facebook. My uber competitive cousin who is a serious climber commented that we should be climbing 5-10 and higher only! Another time a friend commented on a picture and said- "sure- use all the colors"! Then it clicked in my brain that the numbers corresponded with the grade of difficulty and the point of climbing was to stick with one color and try to complete the route! This was a game changer- climbing went from boredom to fun almost overnight!
We went from coming a few times a month- to coming multiple times a week beginning in November of last year!
Calvin: For sure it's location- we live in Lakewood- however- we have climbed at a number of other gyms- and my kids and I both heartily agree that Edgeworks has the coolest vibe and great staff. We've visited a different gym and their staff were so uppity and strict. It made us appreciate the chill and fun atmosphere at Edgeworks! We also like all of the different events, activities, and challenges that are put on at Edgeworks which keep it fun. We love being a part of the Edgeworks tribe!
Calvin: Because we only started seriously climbing last November, I've only been to Smith Rock once to climb outdoors. Learned to do my first lead climb there and really got hooked on outdoor climbing.
Calvin: I am an avid triathlete so I'm either running, swimming, cycling, or conditioning. Currently I'm training for a couple of races that I had committed to long ago. Truth be told- I look forward to when these races are over so I can focus more time on climbing.
Calvin: I like all of them- although I spend the most amount of time with the top rope!
Calvin: Scientific research has shown what happens to the brain during intense exercise. The neurochemicals that are elevated and produced result in all kinds of other amazing benefits. Studies also show a very strong correlation between kids who exercise a lot and how well they perform in school. While I engage in physical activity to reap the benefits that come from exercise, most of the sports take me away from my kids for many hours. I love this sport of climbing- First, because it allows me to spend great quality time with my kids. Secondly, I'm not just watching the kids get exercise- I get to be just as engaged while we're all challenged at our own individual levels! Thirdly, I know that exercise will benefit my kids academically. If you want your kids to excel in school keep them engaged in physical activity as much as you can!


After a long awaited return to Liberia, ExxonMobil started drilling at the deepwater Mesurado-1 exploration well earlier this week, according to partner Canadian Overseas Petroleum Ltd. (COPL).
Map of Liberia, from COPL.
COPL, along with ExxonMobil E&P Liberia, an affiliate of ExxonMobil, spudded Mesurado-1 on 22 November 2016, using Seadrill's West Saturn drillship.
The well is about 50mi offshore Liberia on Block LB-13 in some 2500m water depth, and is targeting oil in Late Cretaceous sands. Block LB-13 comprises more than 2500sq km and is in water depths ranging from 250-10,000ft. The Block is 18mi off Liberia's central coast.
Mesurado-1 is the first well operated by ExxonMobil offshore Liberia.
With an estimated cost of US$120 million, the Mesurando-1 well's primary goal is to prove a commercial quantity of hydrocarbons in the Cretaceous Santonianage reservoirs. Mesurando-1 is also expected to provide calibration for the seismic response, which the JV can use to evaluate other leads on the block.
In 2010, 3D seismic of the area showed similarities to deepwater oil discoveries made offshore Ghana and Sierra Leone. After an independent reserves evaluator conducted a gross prospective petroleum resource report for the block, 13 top prospects were chosen to derive a statistical aggregate number of 2.6 billion bbl of gross recoverable oil at the P50 (best estimate) probability level.
The partners delayed drilling plans off Liberia on 23 July 2014 due to an outbreak of the Ebola virus that began in March 2014, however, in late-2015, the duo made plans to return to the region.
During the first part of January 2016, the World Health Organization declared the end of the most recent outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Liberia and stated that all known chains of transmission had been stopped in West Africa. However, there remains a risk for further flare-ups of the disease, which have the potential to be serious.
On 23 February 2016, ExxonMobil informed COPL that the length of the extension period granted by the National Oil Co. of Liberia (NOCAL) had been set at a total of 619 days and that the second exploration period timeframe has been extended until 25 September 2017. This extension was a result of the "State of Emergency Agreement" between NOCAL and ExxonMobil due to the Ebola crisis in Liberia.
Exxon is the operator of Block LB-13 with 83% stake; partner COPL holds the remaining 17%.

A traditional bouillabaisse from Marseille, with the fish served separately after the soup
Region or state
(Scorpionfish, sea robin, European conger)
Cookbook: Bouillabaisse
Media: Bouillabaisse
Bouillabaisse (French: [bu.ja.ˈbɛs]; Occitan: bolhabaissa, bullabessa [ˌbuʎaˈβajsɔ / ˌbujaˈbajsɔ]) is a traditional Provençal fish stew originating in the port city of Marseille. The French and English form bouillabaisse comes from the Provençal Occitan word bolhabaissa, a compound that consists of the two verbs bolhir (to boil) and abaissar (to reduce heat, i.e., simmer).
Bouillabaisse was originally a stew made by Marseille fishers, using the bony rockfish which they were unable to sell to restaurants or markets. There are at least three kinds of fish in a traditional bouillabaisse, typically red rascasse (Scorpaena scrofa); sea robin; and European conger. It can also include gilt-head bream, turbot, monkfish, mullet, or European hake. It usually also includes shellfish and other seafood such as sea urchins, mussels, velvet crabs, spider crab or octopus. More expensive versions may add langoustine (Dublin Bay prawn; Norway lobster), though this was not part of the traditional dish made by Marseille fishermen. Vegetables such as leeks, onions, tomatoes, celery, and potatoes are simmered together with the broth and served with the fish. The broth is traditionally served with a rouille, a mayonnaise made of olive oil, garlic, saffron, and cayenne pepper on grilled slices of bread.
What makes a bouillabaisse different from other fish soups is the selection of Provençal herbs and spices in the broth; the use of bony local Mediterranean fish; the way the fish are added one at a time, and brought to a boil; and the method of serving. In Marseille, the broth is served first in a soup plate with slices of bread and rouille, then the fish is served separately on a large platter (see image at top); or, more simply, as Julia Child suggests, the fish and broth are brought to the table separately and served together in large soup plates.[1]
Marseille bouillabaisse
The Vieux-Port of Marseille, the birthplace of bouillabaisse
Recipes for bouillabaisse vary from family to family in Marseille, and local restaurants dispute which versions are the most authentic.
In 1980, 11 Marseille restaurateurs collaborated to draw up the Bouillabaisse Charter which codified both ingredients and method of preparation.[2] An authentic Marseille bouillabaisse must include rascasse (Scorpaena scrofa), a bony rockfish which lives in the calanque and reefs close to shore. It usually also has congre (eng: European conger) and grondin (eng: sea robin).[3] According to the Michelin Guide Vert, the four essential elements of a true bouillabaisse are the presence of rascasse, the freshness of the fish; olive oil, and excellent saffron.[4]
The American chef and food writer Julia Child, who lived in Marseille for a year, wrote: "to me the telling flavor of bouillabaisse comes from two things: the Provençal soup base—garlic, onions, tomatoes, olive oil, fennel, saffron, thyme, bay, and usually a bit of dried orange peel—and, of course, the fish—lean (non-oily), firm-fleshed, soft-fleshed, gelatinous, and shellfish."[5]
The ingredients of a traditional Marseille bouillabaisse vary depending upon what fish are available that day and the taste of the chef. These are the typical ingredients used in one of the most traditional Marseille restaurants, the Grand Bar des Goudes on Rue Désirée-Pelleprat:[6]
Four kilograms of fish and shellfish, including, on a typical day, grondin (sea robin), Rascasse (Scorpaena scrofa), rouget grondin (red gurnard), congre (conger eel), baudroie (lotte, or monkfish), Saint-Pierre (John Dory), vive (weever), and sea urchins. Other ingredients in the broth include a kilogram of potatoes, seven cloves of garlic, onions, ripe tomatoes, and a cup of olive oil. The broth is seasoned with a bouquet garni, fennel, eight pistils of saffron, salt and Cayenne pepper.
The rouille, a spicy mayonnaise which is spread on thick slices of country bread and floated on the bouillabaisse when served, is made with an egg yolk, two cloves of garlic, a cup of olive oil, and ten pistils of saffron, and is seasoned with salt and Cayenne pepper.

In the traditional bouillabaisse served in Marseille restaurants, first the fish are cleaned and scaled and then washed, usually with sea water. Then the fish are cut into large slices, keeping the bones. Next olive oil is put into a large casserole, and onions, cleaned and sliced, are added, along with crushed garlic and tomatoes, peeled and quartered, without seeds. This mixture is browned at low heat for about five minutes, so that the olive oil takes on the flavors of the other ingredients.
When this has been done, the sliced fish are added, beginning with the thickest slices. The fish is covered with boiling water, and salt, pepper, fennel, the bouquet garni and the saffron. The dish is simmered at low heat, and stirred from time to time so that the fish does not stick to the casserole. The fish simmer as the broth is then reduced, usually about twenty minutes.
When the bouillabaisse is done, the rouille is prepared: the stem of the garlic is removed; the garlic cloves are crushed into a fine paste with a pestle in a mortar; the egg yolk and saffron are added and blended with olive oil little by little to make a mayonnaise.
The potatoes are peeled, cut into large slices and boiled in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes.
The last step is to open the sea urchins with a pair of scissors, and to remove the corail (gonads) with a small spoon. The pieces of fish are then arranged on a platter, and the corail of the sea urchins is added to the broth and stirred.
In this traditional version, the bouillon is served first, very hot, with the rouille spread on thick slices of bread rubbed with garlic. The fish and potatoes are served next on a separate platter.[8]
Another version of the classic Marseille bouillabaisse, presented in the Petit LaRousse de la Cuisine, uses congre, dorade, grondin, lotte, merlan, rascasse, saint-pierre, and velvet crabs (étrilles), and includes leeks. In this version, the heads and trimmings of the fish are put together with onions, celery and garlic browned in olive oil, and covered with boiling water for twenty minutes. Then the vegetables and bouquet garni are added, and then the pieces of fish in a specific order; first the rascasse, then the grondin, the lotte, congre, dorade, etrilles, and saffran. The dish is cooked for eight minutes over high heat. Then the most delicate fish, the saint pierre and merlan, are added, and the dish is cooked another 5–8 minutes. The broth is then served over bread with the rouille on top, and the fish and crabs are served on a large platter.[9]
Other variations add different seasonings, such as orange peel, and sometimes a cup of white wine or cognac is added.[10]
The French screenwriter and playwright Marcel Pagnol, a member of the Académie française and a native of Marseille, showed his own idea of a proper bouillabaisse in two of his films. In Cigalon [fr] (1935), the chef Cigalon serves a bouillabaisse provençale aux poissons de roche, (Bouillabaisse of Provence with rockfish) made with a kilogram of local fish; Scorpaena scrofa (rascasse); capelin; angler fish (baudroie); John Dory (Saint-Pierre); and slipper lobster (cigale de mer). "When I put these fish into the pan," Cigalon says, "they were still wiggling their tails." Cigalon specifies that the slices of bread served with the broth should be thick and not toasted, and that the rouille "should not have too much pepper."[11]
In the 1936 film César (film), Pagnol's hero Marius reveals the secret of the bouillabaisse of a small bistro near the port in Marseille. "Everybody knows it," Marius says: "they perfume the broth with a cream of sea urchins."[12]
History and legend
The dish originates in ancient Greece. The Phoceans, an Ancient Greek people who founded Marseille in 600 BC, ate a simple fish stew known in Greek as "kakavia".[13][14] A dish similar to bouillabaisse also appears in Roman mythology: it is the soup that Venus fed to Vulcan.[15]
The legend has it that bouillabaisse was created by Marseille fishermen who wanted to make a meal when they returned to port. Rather than using the more expensive fish, they cooked the common rockfish and shellfish that they pulled up with their nets and lines, usually fish that were too bony to serve in restaurants, cooking them in a cauldron of water on a wood fire and seasoning them with garlic and fennel. Tomatoes were added to the recipe in the 17th century, after their introduction from the Americas.
In the 19th century, as Marseille became more prosperous, restaurants and hotels began to serve bouillabaisse to upper class patrons. The recipe of bouillabaisse became more refined, with the substitution of fish stock for boiling water and the addition of saffron. Bouillabaisse spread from Marseille to Paris, and then gradually around the world, adapted to local ingredients and tastes.
The name bouillabaisse comes from the method of the preparation—the ingredients are not added all at once. The broth is first boiled (bolh) then the different kinds of fish are added one by one, and each time the broth comes to a boil, the heat is lowered (abaissa).
Generally similar dishes are found in Greece, Italy (zuppa di pesce), Portugal (caldeirada), Spain (sopa de pescado y marisco, suquet de peix [es]), and all the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. What makes a bouillabaisse different from these other dishes are the local Provençal herbs and spices, the particular selection of bony Mediterranean coastal fish, and the way the broth is served separately from the fish and vegetables.[16]

Nearly 100 people have held a candlelit vigil in the gardens of Parliament House to draw attention to the growing number of homeless young people in Western Australia.
An estimated 6,000 young people are sleeping rough, couch surfing or staying in crisis accommodation across the state every night.
Youth Affairs Council of WA chief executive Craig Comrie said WA has the second highest per capita rate of homeless youth in the country.
"We're talking from everyone from our young people on the streets, so the ones you see begging potentially, all the way through to young people who may be couch surfing or staying in crisis accommodation," he said.
"They do have a roof over head, but in terms of stable accommodation, they don't have that.
"In WA, we've had some unique circumstances with very high rents and home ownership being very difficult for young people to attain.
I was lucky, I got in touch with services really early on before I actually ended up having to turn to the street. (Homeless, transgender woman)
"So it's been kind of a perfect storm around the issue of homelessness."
A homeless young transgender woman was one of the people who attended last night's vigil to mark Youth Homelessness Matters Day.
She did not want to be named, but said her experience was made even more difficult by her gender identity.
"It's hard, it's hard to maintain a job and go to school when you're always moving around the place where you have to travel to get to school and work, and it's hard as well having to settle into a new place every few months," she said.
"From the community, there's a little bit of stigma facing people who don't have stable accommodation but I find that there are quite a few services but not as many as we need for the amount of people that need to use them.
"To be honest, I've not had very good experiences with them because myself identifying as transgender, a lot of the services I've been through have not really understood or been able to work with that."
Number of young people turned away from services 'a disgrace'
She said people living homeless in Perth are a strong group who support each other through difficult times.
"People stick together and people look out for each other for safety and there's a bit of a family thing going on," she said.
"It is a strong community because we know what each other have been through, we've been through similar issues you know, being kicked out of home or not being able to afford rent.
"With any kind of oppressed group or any different group of people there's always going to be that common link.
"I think the experiences of people living homeless really varies on what help you get in touch with and at what point.

"I was lucky, I got in touch with services really early on before I actually ended up having to turn to the street.
"Some people on the street don't know that there are any services available to them, they don't have the access to that."
Mr Comrie said it is extremely difficult for someone on the street to obtain a bed at one of crisis accommodation services on offer in Perth.
"We know that about 90 per cent of young people who step on the door of crisis services are turned away and that's just a disgrace," he said.
"The main thing these people are saying is they can't get access to the services that they need."
Australian Greens Senator for WA Scott Ludlam said funding for youth outreach services needed to be dramatically increased in the upcoming federal and state budgets.
"There is a lot of people [who are homeless] when you consider this is one of the richest states anywhere in the world," he said.
"Homelessness is not that mysterious, its reasonably well understood and we've actually got great programs and great services here in WA but there's just a really chronic funding short fall.
"Politicians seem to be pretending to be helpless to do anything about it."

Client from Florida reached out and wanted a set of 'simple'-ish headlights built for him.
Wanted to lose all the chrome and add a small touch of custom inside.
These are going on a white truck so the Denali logo will match perfectly and tie everything together up front.
Busted these out for a client in California really quick while he was on vacation.
He sent me his GMC Sierra headlights and unfortunately one of the mounting tabs broken due to improper packing methods....but I repaired that enough for him to be able to mount it again.
This was a fairly simple mod....consisting of a Full Black Internal Paint job and Switchback LED Turn Signals.
The owner then painted his front chrome grill black to make a very dramatic difference!

Justify Wins Foggy Preakness, Keeps Triple Crown Bid Alive
Bravazo edged long-shot Tenfold for second, and Good Magic was fourth
Published May 18, 2018 at 7:47 PM | Updated at 5:20 PM PDT on Jun 9, 2018
Justify Wins Preakness, Sets Sights on Triple Crown
//www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/Justify-Wins-Preakness-Stakes-Eyes-Triple-Crown-483141741.html
Justify won the Preakness Stakes and is now just one win away from becoming the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown. (Published Saturday, May 19, 2018)
Justify endured the most difficult race of his career and came away a step closer to becoming trainer Bob Baffert's second Triple Crown champion in four years.
The heavy 2-5 favorite jumped out to the lead, surrendered it briefly to Good Magic and roared back, holding off several hard-charging challengers to win the Preakness through a cloud of fog on a sloppy, slippery track Saturday. Justify has the chance at the Belmont Stakes in New York on June 9 to do the same thing Baffert's American Pharoah did in 2015.
"Right now, I don't see why not," Baffert said.
Just getting through the Preakness was a test for the Kentucky Derby champion. The start wasn't a problem, but Derby runner-up Good Magic pushed Justify along the back stretch and Bravazo and Tenfold made up ground at the end before the wire.

"You could tell he was in a fight the whole way," Baffert said. "He's just a great horse to handle all that pressure and keep on running."
As Baffert was praying for the wire at Pimlico, Justify won by a half-length. Bravazo edged Tenfold for third, and Good Magic was fourth, running out of gas at the end of the 1 3/16-mile race.
"It just wasn't a good trip," Good Magic trainer Chad Brown said. "I would have liked to see a different scenario, maybe where we're just off the pace a little bit, we weren't getting pressed on the fence the whole way. Disappointing."
Sir Winston Takes Belmont in Another Triple Crown Surprise
That almost happened to Justify, who won his first four races by a combined 21 1/2 lengths. Jockey Mike Smith was worried when he saw Good Magic over his shoulder and when Justify slipped early, and he was hoping there was enough left to get to the wire.
"He got a little tired," Smith said. "This is his hardest race that he's had."
Baffert tied veteran D. Wayne Lukas' record with his 14th victory in a Triple Crown race and matched 19th-century trainer R.W. Walden with his seventh Preakness title. Baffert also remained undefeated with Derby winners in the Preakness following Silver Charm, Real Quiet, War Emblem and American Pharoah.
Jockey Mike Smith: Fit and Focused at 52
Derby champ Justify has something special – but so does his jockey, 52-year-old Mike Smith.
(Published Friday, May 18, 2018)
Justify showed more evidence of being the same kind of super horse as American Pharoah, and Baffert has repeatedly drawn comparisons between them.
Smith won the Preakness for just the second time in 17 tries, 25 years after his first aboard Prairie Bayou.
Justify is the 36th horse to win both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.

"I'm so happy that we got it done," Baffert said. "I've never had one run that fast here."
Justify showed no ill effects from a bruised heel on his left hind foot that was discovered in the aftermath of the Derby, an injury Baffert insisted was minor and over within 24 hours. With an eye on the 1 1/2-mile Belmont, Baffert said he and his team would evaluate Justify but more importantly would make sure he's good to run again in three weeks.
"We're going to make sure that he comes out of the race well and he trains well for it," Baffert said. "He's going to have to be really training well."

Q: Jquery .load() and page refreshes I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with this for the last 2 days. I have a drop down that uses autocomplete for Ids. That works fine. When an Id is selected, I'm trying to get it to load a small table that is displayed with the Id information (the onSelect portion below).
However when the Id is selected, the page is refreshed, as if I clicked on a link. I realize this is probably something small, I just can't seem to figure it out.
var options, a;

Inspired by the eponymous film I present to you the "All This and World War II" Geeklist. All the games that cover the entirety of World War II.
While not the best game to cover the entire war, this game may be the best loved. In either case it is still the game most of us cut our teeth on.
One of the the most detailed games covering this war, or any war, this is one game I will probably never convince my group to try (The rulebook alone is over 200 pages).
Not just a single game, World in Flames is a complex family of games that covers every aspect of the war, from the political, to the economic, to the strategic.
Sadly, at $500 for the complete family, this is also another game I'll never get the chance to play.
With fourteen (14!) games in the series, I have to seriously question if anyone has ever successfully played the complete Europa series in a grand campaign. Still it's on the list because it could cover (nearly) all of the war.
Quite pricey, and complex, this game covers the whole of the war, asking players questions few other wargames bother to deal with: "At what price victory?"
Add Advanced PTO and... never mind.
From the heydey of SPI.
I'm not especially familiar with this one, but, in spite of the misleading name, it does cover the whole of the war.
Another game I have not played, but it covers the whole of the war.
This, and you have it all.
Actually just got the 2016 version by One Small Step. Really interesting.

Year on, India's lockdowns ruin Kashmir's economy | Eurasia Diary - ednews.net
Year on, India's lockdowns ruin Kashmir's economy
02.08.2020 20:35 World A- A A+
A year ago, Abdul Rashid was making a living by selling flowers to tourists in hundreds of ornate pinewood houseboats in Dal Lake in Srinagar, the main city in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
When India suddenly scrapped disputed Kashmir's semi-autonomous status, followed by an unprecedented security clampdown, economic ruin ensued.
"It was not just a political change. It destroyed our livelihood," said Rashid, 60, who has now turned to growing vegetables to feed his family.
Days before the Aug. 5, 2019, decision by the central government in New Delhi, authorities asked hundreds of thousands of tourists, Hindu pilgrims and migrant workers to leave the territory, shutting its economy. Since then, tens of thousands of jobs have been lost.
The stunning Himalayan region has known little but conflict since 1947, when British rule of the subcontinent divided it between the newly created India and Pakistan.
After a series of political blunders, broken promises and a crackdown on dissent, Kashmiri separatists launched a full-blown armed revolt in 1989, seeking unification with Pakistan or complete independence. India dubbed the insurgency terrorism abetted by Pakistan, a charge Islamabad denies.
Hundreds of the colorful hand-carved houseboats, known as shikaras, lie deserted, mostly anchored still on the desolate lake. Hotels are empty and there are hardly any tourists.
Some businesses had resumed with the partial lifting of the security and communication clampdown earlier this year. However, Indian authorities enforced another harsh lockdown in March to combat the coronavirus pandemic, further emaciating the local economy.
The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industries pegged the economic loses in the region at $5.3 billion and about half a million jobs lost since August last year.
The 7-decade-old Hotel Standard in Srinagar had a staff of 30, according to its manager Khurshid Ahmed. Now there are just three. The only activity inside the once-bustling place is by the cleaning staff.
Mohammed Rajab, a taxi driver for 37 years, hasn't been hired even once since last August. "I parked my taxi at our stand few days before August 5 last year. It's still there along with 250 others," he said.
Tens of thousands of daily wage workers, like Rajab, have suffered the most.
Mohammad Lateef, a boatman, used to ferry tourists around the lake. He now sells cucumbers and cigarettes to locals along its banks.
"We've not earned a single penny for a year now," said Ghulam Qadir Ota, a houseboat owner. "All we have are these boats. We don't have any other means to earn."

BOND: In a slightly connected vein, do you think you have a different style of leadership or perhaps a different style of presentation when you are dealing with a group that's all white, when you are dealing with a group that's all black, and when you are dealing with a group that is composed of lots of different people?
CHAMBERS: Well, in one sense I think that I would be guilty of that. Particularly when I really want to get a group to support a particular idea and I am trying to pull together the best approach for achieving that objective. When I am not that concerned and I am more concerned with pointing out the inequities of practices, I wouldn't care, and I would tell people, whatever their race or gender, that there was a problem that we really ought to address. You know, I think that all of us have to appreciate that what I say as a black person in a black environment may not be convincing to a group of Hispanics, whatever I'm talking about. And it may not be true or acceptable to a group of Asians and all that. And one then really has to figure out the best way to present an issue for the culture of the people with whom one is talking. And so, it may require that one say something differently.
BOND: Is there a universal style and language? And if there is, is that desirable or are these separate approaches going to be with us and are perfectly reasonable for many, many years to come?
CHAMBERS: I don't know about the latter – perfectly reasonable – but I certainly expect it. One day, I believe, we will get to the point where we can talk with and deal with people of all races and nationalities without regard to their particular language. But I don't know of any universal language today.
BOND: But shouldn't there be? Should we be striving for a universality of presentation? Universality of argument?
CHAMBERS: One would hope that we are doing that. But, you know, I watch the argument now about English-only approaches. I know that a number of non English-speaking people are very much offended by that practice. If English were to be a universal language, it could help ease communication. But it wouldn't necessarily mean that folk who are not English-speaking people would be that happy with that approach. I think what we are fighting now is a prejudice that is very deep within all of us. And we all have to keep working to educate people and helping to encourage people to learn to respect everyone else and to appreciate that what I may be saying or you may be saying, whatever language, is designed to really provide opportunities for them.
BOND: But in the United States both black and white people speak English and can understand each other generally when they are talking across racial lines. But there're admittedly different styles one might employ, you might employ if you are speaking to the all-black Links [Inc.] and another style you might employ if you are speaking to the all-white Rotary Club. Do you think if the Rotary Club people saw you talking to the Links they might think, "Ooh, that's not the same guy we saw who spoke to us last week," and vice versa? Would it be jarring for these audiences?
CHAMBERS: Well, you pit the Links and the Rotary.
BOND: Let's say the Rotary and the Prince Hall Masons.
CHAMBERS: Yeah. Well, well, the approach would likely for those groups be the same. I think that with the Prince Hall Masons that you're dealing with a group that is knowledgeable about a number of things and will understand positions that one may be advancing. And the Rotary would also be knowledgeable about positions. So one can basically say what one would like to say without fear of antagonizing a lot of people in that respect.
BOND: Well, the Rotary might not be – they might be receptive, but they might not be initially sympathetic. You might have a greater convincing job to do with the Rotary.
CHAMBERS: That's a different question. And you are right. Whether whatever one is saying is going to convince anybody. But I would imagine, from what I know about Prince Hall and the Rotary, that the groups I know would be receptive to an approach that was basically the same.
BOND: I want to go back to something we had talked about a short while ago, and that is what kind of strategies do you use, do you employ in speaking to different groups of people, not necessarily racially different, but just different? For example, in your position you've to talk to legislators. I am guessing that is one strategy. You've got to talk to alumni. I am guessing that's – How do you address these different groups?
CHAMBERS: Well, the legislators, we generally appeal for them to provide support for a fledgling HBCU, that has in our case been neglected over the years and that is at the threshold of really developing some programs, etc. I always took the approach, I never wanted, didn't think that I would actually want it, that North Carolina Central was built as a counterpart to the University of North Carolina. And we at Central should not rest until we have the exact equivalent. Well, obviously that has ruffled a lot of feathers. But people have appreciated the need for doing a lot more than they have been doing. When they look at it from that historical perspective with the alumni, we talk about loyalty to an institution and how it has progressed and where we think it is going and why we need their support in order to get where we are moving. Showing that we have been able to do some things with their help and then talking about some other things that we can do.
BOND: Well, what you are describing is a different approach based on the demand or request that you are making of these different groups of people. What about altering your approach depending on who they are? Not so much as because of what they can offer you, but just because of who they are? Legislators are politicians. Alumni are a wide variety of different kinds of people. Potential contributors are yet a third – business people in the Triangle area. Do you devise a different strategy, not only based on what you are requesting, or – but just based on who they are?
CHAMBERS: Yeah. Well, I guess one should say generally. Because the different groups would be more responsive depending on the approach. I was talking about Central as compared to Chapel Hill because it is one approach. It helps those who are allocating resources to appreciate that there are funds needed in order to make some improvement for alumni. It helps them to know that they are in a position to give and that what they give can be extremely beneficial to the group. For the business community it – you know, I guess I got this from Vernon Jordan, it helps for them to appreciate that whatever they are giving or the fact that they are giving can be beneficial to their company or to them and that it's not just a one-way street in terms of the benefits. So one does frequently employ different approaches depending on the group.
BOND: And these approaches don't have to be or can – I don't want to say can be contradictory, because that's not quite it. But you can approach the legislators in one way that you wouldn't dream of using with the other group. And I guess it depends on who the groups are, what the groups are, and what the need is.
CHAMBERS: It does. And the other thing that I should point out is that legislatures are changing. The number of blacks in the legislature today is interesting and it forces one to sort of change the approach that one might have or otherwise have had with the legislature, because blacks in the legislature will look at issues in one way that one has to anticipate in the approach that one is making. So we have, I have, used slightly different approaches in going to different constituencies. And I think that it is necessary because their interests are different. And some of those approaches have been modified or have to be modified because the constituency or the nature of the constituencies themselves is changing.
BOND: Yes, as you say the legislature changes, has changed over time. It's gotten more black members. In many ways, more small "d" democratic today than would have been true thirty years ago. So your approach must change to this.

CHINA'S FOREIGN TRADE SUSTAINS UPWARD MOMENTUM DESPITE MOUNTING CHALLENGES
by admin on April 22, 2022 in Market
International Business News – China's foreign trade maintained its growth trajectory in the first quarter of 2022 despite increasingly complex internal and external challenges and risks.
The country's total imports and exports expanded 10.7 percent year-on-year to 9.42 trillion yuan in the first three months, data from the General Administration of Customs (GAC) showed on April 13.
In US dollar terms, total foreign trade came in at $1.48 trillion in the period, up 13 percent year-on-year, the data showed.
Exports surged 13.4 percent year-on-year to 5.23 trillion yuan, while imports rose 7.5 percent to 4.19 trillion yuan during the period, leading to a trade surplus of 1.04 trillion yuan, the data showed.
In terms of goods types, exports of mechanical and electrical products expanded by 9.8 percent to account for 58.4 percent of the total, while exports of labor-intensive products increased 10.9 percent in the first quarter, GAC data showed.
"China's foreign trade has sustained growth momentum and posted positive year-on-year expansion for seven consecutive quarters, which shows its great resilience and potential," Li Kuiwen, a spokesperson for GAC, said at a press conference.
China's imports and exports with its major trading partners — ASEAN, the Europe(Nyheter)an Union and the United States — gained 8.4 percent, 10.2 percent and 9.9 percent from a year ago, respectively, in the first three months.
China's trade with Belt and Road countries saw an impressive jump by 16.7 percent from a year ago to 2.93 trillion yuan in the January-March period.
Trade between China and the 14 other members of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership expanded 6.9 percent year-on-year to 2.86 trillion yuan, accounting for 30.4 percent of China's total foreign trade in the period.
Li attributes China's stable growth in imports and exports to the country's resilient economy and increasing global demand for Chinese goods amid recovery.
"The overall recovery trend of the world economy remains unchanged, and the global demand for Chinese products is still expanding," Li said.
Government remedy policies also helped to stimulate the vitality and strengthen the resilience of market entities dealing in foreign trade, Li added, citing that the number of enterprises engaging in foreign trade in the country increased to 432,000 in the first quarter of the year.
"China's foreign trade achieved a stable start in the first quarter of the year, laying a good foundation for beating the whole-year target," Li said.
He cautioned that greater efforts should be made to achieve the goal as the country faces multiple challenges and risks, a high base from last year, as well as some "sudden internal and external factors which have exceeded expectations."

Kris Moutinho eager to show he's 'not just a punching bag' in second UFC fight
Farah Hannoun and Nolan King
Kris Moutinho gained the respect of the mixed martial arts world after his display of toughness at UFC 264, but that's not what he wants to be known for.
Stepping in on short notice in his promotional debut, Moutinho (9-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) faced rising contender Sean O'Malley in July in what proved to a rough night at the office as Moutinho absorbed 230 significant strikes but never stopped coming forward.
Moutinho fought hard and, at times, put pressure on O'Malley until referee Herb Dean stopped the fight with less than 30 seconds remaining, much to the chagrin of Moutinho. The good news is that fans won't have to wait too long to see Moutinho compete again as he's already booked to face Aaron Phillips (12-4 MMA, 0-3 UFC) on Oct. 23, which Moutinho admits is a little quicker than he expected.
"I didn't plan on coming back so quick," Moutinho told MMA Junkie. "I planned on maybe the end of the year, maybe next year, but you can't really say no in these situations. It's a good fight. It's a tough kid. They've given me two months to prepare. I didn't have many injuries. My toe was a little banged up, and everything else was pretty good.
"I healed up pretty quick, and I've been training non-stop, so there's really no reason for me to say no. If I start saying no now, who knows what they give me next time? I'm just ready to go out there, have a good camp and show everybody that I know how to move my head. I'm not just a punching bag."
Not only did Moutinho earn a cool $75,000 performance bonus for his fight against O'Malley, but his Instagram followers skyrocketed to 170,000. While all that is nice, the tough guy moniker doesn't sit well with Moutinho.
"I gotta win fights first," Moutinho said. "That's the most important part. Get these wins and show everybody I'm worth more than just what they saw the last fight. I'm glad everybody enjoyed the last fight, everybody loved it, but it still hurts me. I can't even watch it anymore.

Creating WebComics: A Brief Guide
After some online discussion on creating WebComics over the past few days on a couple of comic creator forums, I've done a bit of digging around and compiled a brief article for downthetubes about Creating WebComics which is now posted on the main site.
It includes some other links I found along the way which may be of interest to would be or indeed existing webcomic creators.
If you've got any thoughts on the subject yourself, please feel free to leave your comments here.
And talking of webcomics, what better moment than to mention Ian Stacey's arrival on comics-on-mobile service ROK Comics, a much-praised cartoonist we've plugged here before.

Shoot Shot Down
IPC Media has announced the closure of Shoot! after 40 years, a victim of stiff competition from rivals.
The Guardian reports the cancellation of the IPC Media title, which once rubbed shoulders with sports-dominated comics such as Roy of the Rovers and Tiger, has been unable to compete with rivals such as market leader Match, BBC Magazines' Match of the Day (which launched in March and features a popular comic strip drawn by Martin Baines) and new challenger Kick!.
The closure comes four months after Shoot! relaunched it as a weekly, a status it had enjoyed from its launch in 1969 and was a weekly until 2000.
In addition to stiff competition in the sector, Shoot!'s higher cover price (£1.80 compared to 95p for top rival Match) also appear not to have done the title any favours.
"It is with great regret that we have had to make this decision," said Paul Williams, the managing director of IPC Inspire, the Guardian reports. IPC are now in exclusive negotiations to sell the Shoot! trademark to Pedigree Books, which publishes the Shoot! Christmas annual and other books.
Shoot! sales figures were around 35,000 an issue, still much higher than those of the last football comic, Striker, which sold some 29,000 copies on launch but whose sales declined slowly over 87 issues -- still an impressive run for an independent title (as Striker owner Pete Nash recounts here on the official site).
Ironically given the cancellation of Shoot!, potential investors advised Pete to make his title more of a magazine to raise its profile and opportunities for investment. (Striker now runs in The Sun where it began back in 1985).

Knight Rider Car Sold on eBay
A rare version of KITT, the iconic talking black car from the American 80s TV show Knight Rider has just been sold on the internet auction site eBay.
The KITT model, built from a Pontiac Trans Ams -- and most recently used in the third and fourth series of Knight Rider as well as the TV film and also used in 2006 film The Benchwarmers which starred Rob Schneider -- eventually sold for $53,000.
Picture below the cusyom built car is one of the rare 300-mph "Super Pursuit Mode" T/As with additional aero devices, was described as one of the original vehicles from the series. It was initially used in the third season and then re-converted to simulate the 'Super Pursuit Mode' that debuted in the fourth season.
The car, pictured below, was also used in the 1984 Knight Rider made for television movie and, later, for exhibition and promotional purposes.
• KITT stands for Knight Industries Three Thousand. There have been a couple of Knight Rider spin-offs
• Knight Rider has recently been revived in the US to huge ratings on its initial airing back in February on NBC. The Hollywood Reporter recently noted Paul Campbell is set to join the ensemble cast fronted by Justin Bruening. Campbell will play the head research tech at Knight Industries. (More news about the new show can also be found on KittSite).
• The pilot for the new show will be released on Region 1 DVD in September.

US Comic, Graphic Novel Sales Down
Comics trade site ICV2 reports sales of periodical comics in the US declined in May - the fourth month sales have dropped in a row, posting a 6% drop compared with sales in May of 2007 when, led by the Death of Captain America, some 15 titles sold over 100,000 copies (versus just 7 in May 2008).
Marvel's Secret Invasion series topped the sales charts, although orders were down on #1 by 27%.
Although this may sound like bad news, periodical comics have still posted a 7% gain from April, though it was not enough to compete with May 2007.
ICV2 also reports that for the second month in a row graphic novel sales declined and actually dropped more precipitously than periodical comics, dropping 17% when compared with May 2007, which was a very strong month for graphic novel releases led by Y: The Last Man Vol. 9, Walking Dead Vol. 6, five various Civil War-related trades plus DC's 52 Vol. 1, Archaia Studios' Mouseguard and Dynamite Entertainment's The Boys.
Top Ten US Comics
Thesw figures are based on ICv2's estimates of the sales by Diamond Comic Distributors to comic stores on the top 25 comic titles in May

Comic Hero Season at BFI London
London's BFI Southbank and BFI Max have just announced they will be teaming up this July and August for a big-screen extravaganza of films adapted from comics presenting the breadth and depth of the genre.
The season is a strong reminder that films based on comics should never be dismissed as mindless entertainment, with screenings of Christopher Nolan's hotly anticipated next instalment of Batman The Dark Knight (2008) which opens at BFI IMAX on 25 July, Robert Rodriguez's Sin City (2005) and the Oscar-nominated Persepolis (2007).
From cape-wearing superheroes to leather-clad mutants the comic book movie comes in all shapes, sizes, and (intergalactic) species. Highlights include All-Nighter screenings of the X-Men trilogy introduced by Sir Ian McKellen and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, both at BFI IMAX – Britain's biggest screen. The new The Incredible Hulk (2008), Richard Donner's Director's Cut of Superman the Movie (1978), Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy (2004) and the gloriously irreverent superhero parody Mystery Men (1999) are amongst the films screening at BFI Southbank. Mystery Men will also screen at BFI IMAX.
The comic book movie doesn't always have to mean superheroes, spandex and mass destruction, of course. Smaller, more independent-minded writers and artists have also found their work adapted for the big screen. Ghost World (2001), American Splendor (2003), Road To Perdition (2002) and A History of Violence (2005) all began life as hand-drawn comics published outside the mainstream.
This jam-packed season has something for everyone. Joseph Losey's extravagant slice of 60s Eurocamp, Modesty Blaise (1966) and a rare outing in the UK for Mario Bava's Danger: Diabolik (1967) offer psychedelic adaptations of European comic strips.
Out at the Pictures – the BFI's dedicated Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender strand – contemplates the gay sub-text of X2 (2003) and considers the role of the superheroine in the masculine world of comics with a screening of Tank Girl (1995).
For younger audiences, June's Film Funday sees Flash Gordon (1980) making a spectacular return to the big screen plus comic-book based kids' workshops.
Other screenings during the school holidays also include the much underrated gem The Rocketeer (1991).

In Memoriam: "Hot Shot Hamish" writer Fred Baker
Comics writer and editor Barrie Tomlinson has been in touch with sad news that prolific British comic script writer Fred Baker died earlier this month.
He had been ill for some time with Alzheimer's and died of pneumonia on 4 June.
"He was one of the most prolific writers we had on the comics," Barrie recalls. "No matter how many scripts he was writing, the standard was always top class. "
He wrote some of the great classic stories that appeared in Tiger and Roy of the Rovers: Billy's Boots, Hot-Shot Hamish (which has recently been appearing in Scotland's The Sunday Mail), Mighty Mouse, Skid Solo and more.
"He really was one of the giants of boys' scriptwriters, says Barrie.
As Steve Holland noted just a few days ago on Bear Alley, Hot-Shot Hamish remains one of British comics' hidden gems, written by Fred and drawn by Julio Schiaffino for Scorcher & Score, and subsequently for Tiger, back in the early 1970s; Hot-Shot then teamed up with Mighty Mouse from Roy of the Rovers (wiki entry here), in which title the pair's adventures continued until 1991.

Hulk Goes Mobile
Marvel and Hands-On Mobile, producers of Guitar Hero and Iron Man for mobile phones, have released a new mobile game and personalization content around the latest big-screen adaptation of The Incredible Hulk, which has been getting positive reviews as a straight forward action movie on its release.
The game and content are currently available on select carriers worldwide.
"The Hulk is a character who is beloved by many, and we worked closely with Marvel to develop a mobile game that was true to his legacy," said David White, Chief Executive Officer of Hands-On Mobile. "Just as we've seen consumers embrace Iron Man, we expect The Incredible Hulk to gain a similar following with an exciting mobile game to complement its film release."
In this explosive and action-packed mobile game, players become the Hulk to smash through walls, hurl cars at enemies, scale cityscapes, dodge precision missiles, and battle The Abomination as they seek out a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned the Hulk's alter ego Bruce Banner's cells and transformed him into the green-skinned behemoth.
"This summer is an exciting time for Marvel, and we're excited to be working with Hands-On Mobile to create mobile games that complement our latest big screen releases including Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk," said Simon Philips, President of Marvel International. "As we've already seen with the success of Iron Man, fans are eager to continue to interact with these beloved characters after they leave the movie theaters, and mobile games are a great way to do this."
HandsOn say The Incredible Hulk game features unique gameplay that distinguishes it from other tile-based, action-adventure games in the mobile market. The game re-creates movie scenes as players smash from the hidden factories of Brazil to the city that never sleeps.
• For information and other exciting Marvel Mobile content, visit www.MarvelMobile.com. The Incredible Hulk mobile game can be downloaded in the US by text messaging HULK to 46966.

The pomegranate painting is definitely my favorite!
I love the pomegranate! It suggests Rothko with the nice blocking in the background, and the colors are lovely.
Gosh Anna, you are making progress aren't you. As I recall you came to oils only relatively recently.
The pomegranate also reminded me of Rothko, and I like it, but the orange one is my favorite. Good goin'!
I was thinking what Rose said! Amazing results.
The stargazer lilies are beautiful!!!

North Carolina Pottery Center Receives $130,000 Grant
The North Carolina Pottery Center in Seagrove, NC, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a $130,000 grant from the Windgate Charitable Foundation, a private charitable foundation based in Arkansas. The Windgate Charitable Foundation is well-known for its support of institutions and programs which focus on crafts and craft education.
The grant will be dispersed and utilized over a two-year period, allowing for renovations and upgrades to the Voncannon House (a Victorian house on Pottery Center property), restarting the Artist-in-Residence program, funding a part-time Educational Program Manager position for two years, educational programming and associated costs, and technology upgrades.
Pottery Center Executive Director, Lindsey Lambert says, "Making necessary repairs and upgrades to the Voncannon House will enable us to accommodate our Artist-in-Residence. We will also be able to house periodic on-site interns from East Carolina University, with whom we are collaborating. We anticipate selecting our first new Artist-in-Residence in late spring and having that person start their residency by early June. We also anticipate having one or two graduate students from ECU's Ceramics Program intern with us during the summer of 2014." The Pottery Center is in the second year of a collaborative relationship with East Carolina University's Ceramics Program.
Michael Drought, Director of ECU's School of Art and Design, notes, "The collaboration between the Pottery Center and ECU's School of Art and Design, with the support of the College of Fine Arts and Communication, will offer educational opportunities for ECU students via internships, research and exhibition, as well as provide university-level courses for the Seagrove community. This will highlight the strengths and significance of the two institutions and provide a platform for the further development of summer courses, conferences and symposiums."
Lambert adds, "The Board and I believe that a dynamic Artist-in-Residence program and a strong collaboration with East Carolina University will revitalize the Pottery Center. Youthful energy and a steady relationship with a major educational institution will allow us to more vigorously fulfill our mission. We promote public awareness and appreciation of the history, heritage, and ongoing tradition of pottery making in North Carolina through educational programs, public services, collection and preservation, and research and documentation." A part-time Educational Program Manager will allow the Pottery Center to create more educational programming and outreach activities which help children and adults appreciate the world-class clay tradition that is so much a part of North Carolina's cultural identity. Technology upgrades will allow the center to function more efficiently in serving the potters and pottery lovers of North Carolina.
Says Lambert, "I am very appreciative of the generosity of the Windgate Charitable Foundation, and we are honored by the trust they have placed in us here at the North Carolina Pottery Center. I believe that this is just the first of other grants that the center will receive in the coming years. While we are starting to receive additional funding from granting sources, it is paramount that that our membership and supporters not become complacent. Having a strong, enthusiastic, and financially supportive membership is crucial to the long-term success of the Pottery Center. Simply stated, we need and appreciate your financial and personal support now more ever."
The North Carolina Pottery Center will be closed Monday-Thursday, December 23-26, 2013 for Christmas, closing at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, December 31
and closed on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 for New Year's Day.
Happy holidays and best wishes to all.

Q: Database Toll Layout My Problem ist i get duplicated primary key on Tarife , so my question how should I change the layout without getting duplicate prime ?
to the db: i have some routes "from, to" and they have a certain distance to each other, and there are different highways -> autobahn and they have 2 typs some of then are flat -> eben or mountainous -> berg, and than you have to differentiate between the five classes, so i got 27 Highways * 2 Typs * 5 classes.
i hope u can help me :)
i want this in mysql
here some picture of the tables
http://imgur.com/ZFRLgTs
http://imgur.com/XiveTv9

A: By looking at your screenshots I assume that AutobahnID and typID are primary keys. If so, you would need to change the structure of your Tarif table a bit. There are many ways to do this, but here I what I would do:
id -> An auto-incrementing primary key of type int.
autobahn_id -> A foreign key which references id of the Autobahn table.
typ_id -> A foreign key which references the id of the Typ table.
klasse_id -> A foreign key which references the id of the Klasse table.
Foreign keys are ideal for referencing to rows in other tables. I suggest reading about Foreign Keys here. Note that not all database engines support Foreign Keys, such as MyISAM. InnoDB is one of the engines that support Foreign Keys.
I would suggest dropping all primary keys first from your Tarif table and then add the Foreign Keys like this:
ALTER TABLE Tarif ADD CONSTRAINT FK_autobahn_id FOREIGN KEY (autobahn_id) REFERENCES Autobahn(ID) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE

Q: Solving two modular equations using the chinese remainder theorem We've got the following system
$$
\begin{split}
10^{33}X &\equiv 47 \pmod{51} \\
 4^{62}  &\equiv  8 \pmod{9}
\end{split}
$$
And I've managed to rewrite this as
$$
\begin{split}
X &\equiv 2 \pmod{3} \\
X &\equiv 3 \pmod{17} \\
X &\equiv 35 \pmod{9}
\end{split}
$$
However I'm not sure how to follow on this. Any help with this would be appreciated, thanks!

A: Note first that $X\equiv8\pmod{9}$ and this condition implies the first one $X\equiv2\pmod{3}$.
Hint: Try to find two numbers $X_1,X_2$ such that $$\begin{matrix}X_1&\equiv 1\pmod{9}\\X_1&\equiv 0\pmod{17}\end{matrix}\qquad\begin{matrix}X_2&\equiv  0\pmod{9}\\X_2&\equiv 1\pmod{17}\end{matrix}$$ Then $X=8X_1+3X_2\pmod{9\times17}$.

KAMAGRA JELLY Ajanta Pharma India
Kamagra Oral Jelly 7 sachets/box 100 mg
Manufacturer: Ajanta Pharma, India
Substance: Sildenafil Citrate
Pack: 7 Sachets (100 mg/sachet)
The mechanism of action of Sildenafil citrate involves the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. NO binds to the receptors of the enzyme guanylate cyclase which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) of the intimal cushions of the helicine arteries, resulting in increased inflow of blood and an erection.[14] Robert F. Furchgott won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1998 for his discovery and analysis of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, a key part of the NO mechanism of action.
Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) which is responsible for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. The molecular structure of sildenafil is similar to that of cGMP and acts as a competitive binding agent of PDE5 in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in more cGMP and better erections.[14] Without sexual stimulation, and therefore lack of activation of the NO/cGMP system, sildenafil should not cause an erection. Other drugs that operate by the same mechanism include tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).
Sildenafil is metabolised by liver enzymes and excreted by both the liver and kidneys. If taken with a high-fat meal, absorption is reduced; the time taken to reach the maximum plasma concentration increases by around one hour, and the maximum concentration itself is decreased by nearly one-third

To understand how air pollution impacts the brain, doctor Julia Ljubimova, director of the Nanomedicine Research Center at Cedars-Sinai, produced air with the same chemical makeup as that found in Riverside, California, in the Los Angeles Basin. She and her team then subjected rats to the air, with different groups of rats breathing the polluted air for two weeks, one to three months, and 12 months. After examining the rodent brains, the researchers found higher than normal concentrations of heavy metals including cadmium, cobalt, lead, nickel, vanadium, and zinc accumulated in the rats exposed to the pollution for a month or more. Even more disturbing, coarse particles of the pollutants had switched on certain genes. The research appears in the journal Scientific Reports.
So how are these heavy metals making it into the brain despite the blood brain barrier? The coarse particulate material gets in through the lungs, which absorb the pollution particles into the bloodstream and may somehow beat the blood brain barrier, which can weaken due to high blood pressure, inflammation, and other stresses. Particulates inhaled through the nose have a more direct route into the brain through the olfactory system and may accumulate through that pathway. Once in the brain, the metals cause inflammation, switching on certain genes including those that cause both benign and malignant tumors, and others that are suspected of causing neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's, ALS, Alzheimer's, and other types of dementia—something that other recent studies have also found.
There are still many questions the study can't answer. For instance, do these heavy metals accumulate throughout a lifetime, or can the body flush them out? And most importantly, can a study on rats translate to humans? While Ljubimova says it's likely that the same systems are at work in humans and rodents, her team is also studying Cedars-Sinai's archive of human brain tissue to see if there's evidence of these coarse particles accumulating in the brains of people who lived in areas with air pollution.
Ljubimova says that while the pollutants in her study were based on Los Angeles, she guesses many of the same effects are happening in cities across the world with similar loads of coarse pollutants. The hope, she says, is that the study and future follow-ups will galvanize policymakers to take a closer look at the health impacts of industry, auto emissions, agriculture, and military activities in L.A. and other areas with pollution problems. She points out that more and more people are being exposed to questionable air as urbanization expands, and scientists don't know all the possible organs and ill effects exposure can cause.
