After months and months of being bombarded with political buzz, Election Day is finally upon us. It's a little exhausting to deal with Bayonets and amusing autotuning and everything in between, so it's about darn time society gets back to business and resumes normality.
Who are we kidding-- we love election season! Luckily for us, we're not out of the shenanigan woods just yet. There are tons of people who show up at the polls that fit this bill. Even though the characters you'll encounter are entertaining, it's always best to be totally prepared before you head out there to vote; it can be a strange, hilarious situation.
When we show up at the polls, there's a 99.9% chance we already know who we're voting for. (There's a slight possibility we'll go for Morris the Cat in a last-minute change-of-heart, but that's besides the point.) The guy who's trying to sway our vote is nosey and persistent, and his judgmental looks make us feel as though he can stare straight into our souls. Sorry sir, but we'd rather watch an entire season of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' than listen to your rant about why the other candidate is keeping the existence of aliens a secret.
Moms are the most impressive breed of people. Talking on the phone while putting in a load of laundry, tending to a screaming child and dealing with a dog who's running circles around their feet is a cakewalk to them. When Election Day rolls around, those superhero multi-tasking skills come right along with them to the voting booths. On November 6th, you'll see moms trying desperately to cast their vote while handling an antsy kid on her hip who just wants a lollipop. Everyone is staring at this incredible balancing act like it's the eighth wonder of the world. Meanwhile, we just want to get past her in the line to cast our vote and get on with our childless day.
Whether he's a Romney dude or an Obama supporter, this political character makes his favorite candidate known to everyone within a 10-mile radius. This is usually made awfully clear by being covered in obnoxious pins or wearing head-to-toe blue or red. Heck, he could be a member of The Pizza Party, and he'd still partake in these shenanigans! In that case, Mr. Odd-Ball would probably be smothered in pizza. Don't get us wrong -- it's great to be politically aware! This guy just needs to settle down a bit.
We usually head to voting venues right after work when we're feeling really disheveled and gross. Fortunately, there's usually a camera-clad news crew at said location to document our griminess. They're all set up getting shots for the 11 o'clock news while we just want to sneak on by, cast our vote and peace out of there. Except, that never happens, and our face is plastered all over the news that night. Thanks a lot, Polly Perkins with CBS 2.
When politicians cast their votes on Election Day, an entire media hoopla comes along with them. Tons of awkward "shaking hands" photos are snapped along with shots of the nominee kissing the baby on the mom's hip (hopefully not the mom's hip if he wants to avoid scandal). It's just what the guy has to do to garner positive press, but we totally know he just wants to get the heck out of there as fast as the rest of us.
While a lot of college students these days are politically active, there are some who have no idea what in the world is going on with the whole Big Bird or "Bamma" thing. However, it IS every American's civic duty to head to the polls on Election Day, including said hooligan. Basically this college kid is pressured into voting by mom and dad, and he or she only shows up for the "I voted!" stickers. Honestly, we can't blame her -- they're kinda awesome.
Voting for the first time can be a little nerve-wrecking, especially if you're a newly-legal high school student, and mom's not there to help you navigate the polls. This kid usually walks into the voting venue looking like a lost puppy. Here's hoping he casts his vote wisely and doesn't write in "Cartman from 'South Park'."
Being an Election Day volunteer garners major respect, because they have to deal with overly-enthusiastic political fans, first-time voters and everyone in between. Maybe that's why a lot of them are super strict-- to keep hooligans in check. This character is ridiculous when it comes to byzantine voting rules, and they get extra ticked when even the slightest bit of confusion or mischief arises. When you come across the extra uptight volunteer, nod your head and walk away very, very slowly.
Oblivious guy shows up at the polls just for the sake of showing up at the polls. Everyone else is doing it, so why not scope out the scene? He has no idea who the heck is running for president of the good ol' U-S-of-A, nor does he care. The man is just straight up confused. And probably high on paint thinner.

Excerpt from Biographia Literaria, or Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life and Opinions
Mr. Coleridge's means, been actually deprived of it, even for an hour. With regard to the first ground of accusation, it is doubt less to be regretted by every friend of the accused, that he should have adopted so important a portion Of the words and thoughts of Schelling without himself making those distinct and accurate references, which he might have known would eventually be re quired as surely as he succeeded in his attempt to recommend the metaphysical doctrines contained in them to the attention Of stu dents in this country. Why did Mr. Coleridge act thus, subjecting himself, as he might well have anticipated, aware as he was of the hostile Spirit against his person and principles, that existed in many quarters, to suspicion from the illiberal, and contumc lious treatment at the hands of the hard and unscrupulous Why he so acted those who best knew him can well understand, without seeing in his conduct evidence Of unconscientiousness: they see the truth Of the matter to be this, that to give those distinct and accurate references, for the neglect of which he is now so severely arraigned, would have caused him much trouble of a kind to him peculiarly irksome, and that he dispensed him self from it in the belief, that the general declaration which he had made upon the subject was sufficient both for Schelling and for himself. This will be the more intelligible when it is borne in mind, that, as all who knew his literary habits will believe, the passages from Schelling, which he wove into his work, were not transcribedfor the occasion, but merely transferred from his note-book into the text, some of them, in all likelihood, not even from his note-book immediately, but from recollection of its con tents. It is most probable that he mistook some of these trans lated passages for compositions Of his own, and quite improbable, as all who know his careless ways will agree, that he should have noted down accurately the particular works and portions Of works from which they came.

Biographia Literaria Or Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life and Opinions
Born in Ottery St. Mary, England, in 1772, Samuel Taylor Coleridge studied revolutionary ideas at Cambridge before leaving to enlist in the Dragoons. After his plans to start a communist society in the United States with his friend Robert Southey, later named poet laureate of England, were botched, Coleridge instead turned his attention to teaching and journalism in Bristol. Coleridge married Southey's sister-in-law Sara Fricker, and they moved to Nether Stowey, where they became close friends with William and Dorothy Wordsworth. From this friendship a new poetry emerged, one that focused on Neoclassic artificiality. In later years, their relationship became strained, partly due to Coleridge's moral collapse brought on by opium use, but more importantly because of his rejection of Wordworth's animistic views of nature. In 1809, Coleridge began a weekly paper, The Friend, and settled in London, writing and lecturing. In 1816, he published Kubla Kahn. Coleridge reported that he composed this brief fragment, considered by many to be one of the best poems ever written lyrically and metrically, while under the influence of opium, and that he mentally lost the remainder of the poem when he roused himself to answer an ill-timed knock at his door. Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Christabel, and his sonnet Ozymandias are all respected as inventive and widely influential Romantic pieces. Coleridge's prose works, especially Biographia Literaria, were also broadly read in his day. Coleridge died in 1834.

BABYLON FIELDS (2007) was a proposed TV series featuring people who come back from the dead and try to go on with their old lives. CBS decided not to develop it. Here's the full pilot episode.
I thought it was ok but I can see why CBS did a passerooni on it.

Joanna is a retired cyclist who was on the Great Britain Cycling Team. She won gold in the Women's Team pursuit at the London 2012 Olympics and is currently the National, European and World Champion, and also the World Record Holder for this event. She received her MBE from the Queen in February 2013.
"I was born in Surrey in 1988 and for as long as I can remember I had small bald patches. As a child this didn't bother me too much as the rest of my hair was long and they could be easily covered up. The hair would grow back and then another patch would develop. I have vague memories of my parents taking me to see a doctor about it but at this stage there were no great concerns. When I was a bit older I lost one of my eyebrows and then started to develop more and more bald patches. This time they didn't grow back and when I was 10 I gradually lost all of my hair.
I was diagnosed with alopecia areata and tried out some treatments from a specialist doctor but to no avail. As a 10 year old it upset me but as I wasn't yet in my teenage years I wasn't completely distraught. My hair grew back when I was about 16 so I had a full head of hair. It didn't grow very long unfortunately before it began coming out again. I had more re-growth aged 19 and after it fell out for a third time I looked into wigs.
I now wear a wig whenever I go out day-to-day but as a cyclist I never wear one for training or competing in. I am often asked why not, but I find when I am competing at the top level it would be too hot and heavy when I need to be performing at my very best.
After the London 2012 Olympics I had a lot of media attention about my alopecia. Having just become Olympic Champion I was full of confidence, but I wasn't prepared for the amount of attention I got. I had made my peace with the condition and was comfortable talking about it to the media, but was totally overwhelmed with the general response from alopecia sufferers and non-alopecia sufferers alike.
There is no point spending my life wishing things were different, so instead embrace every opportunity you are given and don't let alopecia stop you.

New page is out. Thanks for sticking arount even a week later. I'm living on the edge and making pages by the week. Not having a buffer is sometimes doing tricks on me. But it also pushes me to get the job done. So far it works pretty well for me.
On another note, I have updated my patreon page (www.patreon.com/jrej). I'll be posting there behind the scenes articles explaining my process, sketches and unpublished pages of Shades of Men. The site alows you to support me with even 1$ per month and get access to all the content. I'll be posting the first blogs public so you can see what it's about.


We had to get up early to drive south from Valparaiso to the airport in Santiago to catch our flight to Easter Island. It wasn't hard to wake up early as we barely slept. The gulls outside our windows drove us crazy all night long! Wake up call at 5:30 for a 6:00 car pickup.
This was a picture of a haunted street. I really didn't understand the story but you were not supposed to linger here, but to drive by fast. So we did.
The sun began to rise on our way to Santiago.
Steve tried to sleep in the car as he had a bad night's sleep. Between no air conditioning, the gulls, and my snoring-I mean purring, and a sore throat Steve had a very bad night. Even with the soothing sounds of a fan on the app on his iPhone, he slept very poorly. He went to bed at 9:30. I went to bed at 10:30. I woke up at 12:30, and thought great, I have five more hours to sleep. Which I told myself every hour decreasing the amount of time to sleep the rest of the night!
The pretty drive to the airport.
Steve got us some coffee so we could stay awake on our flight. As the hotel was not open for our early breakfast we were given a bag breakfast of a ham and cheese on stale bread and a nectarine. All we really wanted was coffee! The Dunkin' Donuts had no milk and only artificial sweetener. I tried to pretend I was drinking a large espresso.
Orange juice and ibuprofen. Manna from Heaven for a sore throat.
You can see the smog hiding the mountains! The doodles represent the mountain edges!
We were flying business class to Easter Island. Did you know that it will take us 5 hours to get there?
I loved seeing our plane's shadow as we ascended!
We leave the mainland. Next stop Easter Island! It is called Easter Island as it was discovered by Jacob Roggeveen,a Dutch Explorer, on Easter Sunday in 1722.
Plane breakfast. Easter Island is in the middle of nowhere! It is a long way from there to any other inhabited land.
You can see where Valparaiso was. On the coast and north of Santiago. Look at all the mountains!
Yay! We have arrived! We have landed! Looks like I could use a brow lift and possibly an under eye tuck. Would you believe that a hair dresser I once went to suggested I get an eye lift, and Botox in my cheek folds? I always call them Fred Flintstone's as his face had some really big ones.
Wilma doesn't have any at all. Maybe she had Botox! Her hairdresser will never tell!
Steve looks like his hair has a lot of volume today. Do you see my grey hair? Not bad for 60, turning 61 in May. Although I am really 62 in real life as I am blogging about a trip that happened two years ago.
We leave the airport and head to our hotel. There are many kids camping here. Not for me!
There are other Explora hotels. One is in Antacama, the Chilean Dessert in Northern Chile. It's elevation is very high so it is doubtful that I will ever visit there. Another location is in Torres Del Paine in the south of Chile. We hope to visit there someday. Two more are in Argentina and another in Bolivia. They are all boutique all inclusive hotels with guided group activities. There appear to be about 20 guests here now. Each day a few leave and a few arrive. The largest hotel on the island has 90 rooms (not Explora).
There is wifi service only in the main bar and lounge. Each day you can select two half day or one full day activity. The one full day activity is a strenuous 7 hour hike which includes a pack lunch. You can be assured that I will not be doing that!
Here is Steve checking us in. Everybody gets a lei!
Don't I look lovely with my beautiful lei? At least my chin looks firm! Unfortunately the flowers looked good for only about 30 minutes!
The walkway between the buildings is thankfully covered. They get a lot of rain here. It is a good thing that I bought my Patagucci rain jacket. It is very humid here. My hair doesn't know if it should lie flat or rebound! Oh, my rain jacket was found and it is being sent to the Ritz Carlton in Santiago where we will pick it up on our return trip from here.
Let's see what our room looks like. We were staying in room 12.
The view out our window. Thankfully the room was air conditioned as it was quite humid here. There was a lovely chaise built into the window.
The view of the ocean and the pool out our window. Do you see the rain cloud? Rain, rain go away.
Our room with luggage all over. We had to hurry to unpack as we were going to have lunch and then go on our first hike. Were we going to wear our sneakers our Keens and socks, or Keen's and no socks. We decided on sneakers.
We had lots of nice storage on the shelves. Behind the bamboo portions was a toilet on the left, sinks in the middle and a shower to the left.
We had iced tea, it was very lemony.
Lunch started with a lovely green salad.
Followed by ham and cheese on a baguette.
After lunch we met in the lobby with the other guests who will go on our walk in the quarry. We arrive at the park entrance where our guide Natalie produces our park passes, and we set up for what is supposed to be a short walk. This area is called Rano Raraku.
The quarry is not a big hole, but the side of a hill. All of the Moai on the island are from this quarry except for one that was made of basalt. We do not know where that one was from yet. The Moai are made of tuff, a rock made of compressed volcanic ash.
There are 840 Moai on the island. 400 are located in the quarry. We didn't see that many, and there are bits and pieces of some that are broken. All the Moai that were finished have been toppled . The only erect finished ones that you can see have been restored.
It was very moving for me to come to Easter Island. As a young girl I read the book Kon-Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl. Steve has read it also and was quite excited to come here also.
None of these Moai have eyes as they are unfinished. They did not get eyes until they reached their final location elsewhere. If you get a chance watch the video on you tube that discusses the theories on how the Moai were moved.
Here we see half of the Brazilian couple that went on the hike with us. The lady on the left is from Quebec. We think that she was in her 80's. She was in tremendous shape. She leaves her husband for two weeks at a time and travels the world with her girlfriend. Her husband stays home with the dogs and tells her to "hurry back home!".
Several of the Moai were toppled over and broken into many pieces.
Down below you will see a rider on horseback. He is there to make sure that people stay on the path.
Here you can see a Moai in the process of carving. It was probably half done before it was abandoned. You can make out the face and the body.
This Moai was different than all the other Moai on the island as it was kneeling. It had been excavated. Originally only the head was visible.
I persuaded the Brazilian woman to sit sideways and to pretend to kiss the Moai. It made a great picture. I would rate this picture as adequate.
Far away you can see the 15 Moai. I hope we will learn more about them!
Moai were carved both vertically and horizontally out of the rock.
A view down the hill and toward the ocean. Somehow my walk turned into a hike!
You can see how eroded this Moai is.
You can see how big the quarry is in this picture.
There are lots of horses on Easter Island. More about them on another blog post.
We were supposed to go on a walk to a crater filled with fresh water, but due to all the recent rain it was forbidden. It was declared unsafe due to all the red clay mud.
We had to drive through a humongous puddle on the way back to Explora.
Let's take a walk to the pool. The man swimming was from Korea. He and his friend elected to have massages and hang out at the pool instead of doing an activity this afternoon.
The pool was too cold for me. I had read in one of my guide books that it was supposed to be a surreal experience to be in the pool and look at the stars at night. Perhaps I will do that from the hot tub instead.
The water looks inviting but it was so cold!
The hot tub looked very inviting.
We arrived at the bar to discuss our next day's activities with our next day's guide. I had a scallop on something green and creamy to whet my appetite before dinner. Doesn't it look disgusting? It was yummy. I want to vomit just looking at it now. I actually ate that thing? Yuck!
The tortilla chips in the bar got stale quickly in this humidity.
Steve ready for dinner. Lots of wine glasses to drink out of, and windows to enjoy the view. I think that Steve is looking at me like Fred looked at Wilma!
We met a lovely couple from England before dinner and had fun talking politics with them.
There is always a salad isn't there?
Followed by soup. Before and after they ladled the soup in the bowl. I love soup that is a production in the presentation!
Look how far west we are!
Did you read Kon-Tiki as a child?
Do you like two part soups?
Do you need Botox injections in your fore head, cheeks, lips, an eye lift and a tummy tuck?

(Summary description)Plasma surface treatments that control the appearance of carbon fibers in just a few seconds have been developed. Compared with the existing surface treatment technology of electrolyte and aqueous solution, this new technology greatly simplifies the whole production process and reduces the energy consumption by 50%. Moreover, after plasma treatment, the basic adhesion between fiber and resin was also improved. The use of plasma oxidation technology to produce low-cost, high-quality carbon fiber is already in use in the United States. Compared with the traditional oxidation technology, plasma oxidation technology is three times faster and USES less than one third of the energy. What will happen to the gas if the temperature keeps rising? Scientists tell us that when the atoms that make up the molecule separate and form separate atoms, for example, a nitrogen molecule splits into two nitrogen atoms, a process we call molecular dissociation in a gas. If the temperature is raised further, the electrons in the atom will be stripped away from the atom to form positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons, a process known as atomic ionization. The ionization process occurs, and the plasma is formed. Plasma, also known as Plasma, is an ionized gaseous substance composed of positive and negative ions generated by ionized atoms and atomic groups after some electrons have been deprived. It is a macroscopic electroneutral ionized gas whose scale is larger than debby's length. Its motion is mainly controlled by electromagnetic force, and it shows significant collective behavior. Plasma surface treatment technology is widely used in the universe, and is often regarded as the fourth state of matter in addition to solid, liquid and gas, which is called plasma state, or "supergas". Materials in the plasma state have gaseous properties such as good fluidity and diffusivity. However, because the basic components of plasma particles are ions and electrons, it also has many properties different from the gaseous state, such as good electrical conductivity, heat conductivity. In particular, according to scientific calculations, the specific heat capacity of a plasma is proportional to the temperature.

Q: Neo4j relation write performance with Neo4j.Driver.V1 I'm evaluating Neo4j for use as a data store in an interactive application. With the code below I'm getting around 40 ms for adding a relation which would be way too slow for our needs as our models can have tens of thousands of relations.
Is this typical performance? Any tips for improving the code? I've tested with 12 relation types and a total of 6652 relations.
using (var session = driver.Session())
{
    foreach (var relationType in relationTypes)
    {
        var nodeArray = relationType.Value.Select(n => new Dictionary<string, string> {{"from", n.Item1}, {"to", n.Item2}}).ToArray();
        var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object> {{"nodes", nodeArray}};
        var relationCommand =
            string.Format(
                "UNWIND $nodes as node WITH node.from as from, node.to as to "
              + "MATCH (f {{nodeId:from}}), (t {{nodeId:to}}) "
              + "CREATE (f)-[:" + relationType.Key + "]->(t) ");
        session.Run(relationCommand, dictionary);
    }
}

A: Not using labels combined with an indexed property on which to match on makes queries extremely non-performant.
So best :
Add labels to your nodes.
CREATE (n:Label {id: 1}) for eg when creating nodes, or if you want to add a generic label to your already created nodes you can do
MATCH (n) SET n:Label

Then create a unique constraint for your nodeId property :
CREATE CONSTRAINT ON (n:Label) ASSERT n.nodeId IS UNIQUE

Then use it in your query  :
var relationCommand =
            string.Format(
                "UNWIND $nodes as node WITH node.from as from, node.to as to "
              + "MATCH (f:Label {{nodeId:from}}), (t:Label {{nodeId:to}}) "
              + "CREATE (f)-[:" + relationType.Key + "]->(t) ");
        session.Run(relationCommand, dictionary);

Enjoy the difference !

Corbyn: Anti-Semitism is a scourge in any society
British Labour leader insists he is not an anti-Semite, declares he will "die an anti-racist".
Elad Benari, Canada, 24/09/18 00:03
British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn insisted on Sunday that he is not an anti-Semite and said he will "die an anti-racist".
Corbyn's comments came in an interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr when he was asked to apologize over the anti-Semitism crisis in the Labour party.
"Anti-Semitism is a scourge in any society, I have opposed it all my life," he said, when asked to personally apologize.
Asked by Marr whether he is an anti-Semite, Corbyn replied, "No. Absolutely not. I have spent my whole life opposing racism in any form and I will die fighting racism."
Dozens of Labour members have been suspended over their anti-Semitic statements in recent years, and the party has been criticized for its failure to deal with the anti-Semitism within it.
Corbyn himself in the past came under fire for calling Hamas and Hezbollah his "friends" and continues to be plagued by incidents of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel statements.
The Daily Mail recently published photos of the Labour leader at a cemetery in Tunisia holding a wreath near the graves of some of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorists who were responsible for the massacre of the 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Days later, a picture emerged of Corbyn apparently making a salute linked to the Muslim Brotherhood organization.
Labour recently came under fire for its refusal to adopt all the examples in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, before it reversed its decision and adopted the definition.
Marr asked Corbyn in Sunday's interview, "How did you feel when one your MPs, a Jewish MP, Margaret Hodge, looked you in the eyes and called you an anti-Semite?"
"The matter with Margaret Hodge is closed," Corbyn replied.
Hodge allegedly shouted at Corbyn about anti-Semitism in the party, calling him an "anti-Semite and a racist" and adding, "You have proved you don't want people like me in the party."
The confrontation came during the initial debate on the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. Labour subsequently dropped an investigation into Hodge over the confrontation with Corbyn.
Marr asked Corbyn on Sunday about footage from 2013 in which he was heard attacking a group of British Zionists and claiming they did not understand "English irony" despite living in the country.
Corbyn explained that he was speaking in defense of the Palestinian Authority envoy to the UK, Manuel Hassassian, who was criticized by the individuals he attacked.
"Manuel, whose first language who's first language is not English, but has an incredibly command of English, had made a number of ironic remarks in the interchange with them," he said, adding the two people in question were "very, very abusive to Manuel."
"It was not intended to be anti-Semitism. I have absolute opposition to anti-Semitism in every way because I see where it leads to. Our party has members of all faiths and it is an opening welcome and safe place for them," continued Corbyn.
He struggled to say explicitly if he would have attended the wreath-laying in Tunisia in 2012 if he had known members of Black September were being honored there.
"I went to honor the civilians and children who had been killed. At that time I was not even sure who was in the cemetery who had been killed. I'm not a supporter of Black September of course," he insisted.

Electronic weight scales usually display a number on the LCD and equipped with electronic measuring components. The electronic weighing scales operate based on the following principle that is the force exerted by the load situated on the balance pan is transmitted to the load cell which in turn emits an electric signal whose intensity is proportional with the force. The electrical signal is picked up by the electronic balance block, processed , amplified and transmitted to a digital display system that is digital mass indicator, the result show will representing the weight of the mass located on the load pan. A very common solution is to use strain gauges (strain-sensitive transducers). The strain gauge is a passive transducer that use ` electrical resistance variation ` in wire to sense the strain produced by a force on a wire. These commercial weighing devices with low resolution were generally used. The strain gauges are wired as a Wheatstone-bridge to balance for temperature changes . When the pan is not loaded by any object, all four resistors are the same and the input of the amplifier will be zero. When an object is placed on the pan resistor 1 and resistor 4 are compacted and their resistance will decrease , resistor 2 and resistor 3 are strained and their resistance is increased. This because a voltage difference at the input of the amplifier, proportional to the weight of the object. The strain gauges are wired as a `Wheatstone-bridge` to compensate for temperature changes . The figure below shows the diagram of an electronic weight scale with a strain gauge.
Some of the advantages of electronic/digital weight scale are the plain fact that digital scales are considerably effortless to read. Besides, the electronic weight scale will give more precision of reading value. Here are some disadvantages to electronic/digital scales, most likely the very regular one being incorrect readings. Several people have criticised that when they stand on the scale at one spot and obtain a reading and when they get back after a few seconds they get a different reading altogether. Commonly , digital scales are good but it will be worn after a regular used. This instrument needs to calibrate after years to get better accuracy.

Immunization, or immunisation, is the process by which an individual's immune system becomes fortified against an infectious agent (known as the immunogen).

When this system is exposed to molecules that are foreign to the body, called non-self, it will orchestrate an immune response, and it will also develop the ability to quickly respond to a subsequent encounter because of immunological memory. This is a function of the adaptive immune system. Therefore, by exposing a human, or an animal, to an immunogen in a controlled way, its body can learn to protect itself: this is called active immunization.

The most important elements of the immune system that are improved by immunization are the T cells, B cells, and the antibodies B cells produce. Memory B cells and memory T cells are responsible for a swift response to a second encounter with a foreign molecule. Passive immunization is direct introduction of these elements into the body, instead of production of these elements by the body itself.

Immunization happens in various ways, both in the wild and as done by human efforts in health care. Natural immunity is gained by those organisms whose immune systems succeed in fighting off a previous infection, if the relevant pathogen is one for which immunization is even possible. Natural immunity can have degrees of effectiveness (partial rather than absolute) and may fade over time (within months, years, or decades, depending on the pathogen). In health care, the main technique of artificial induction of immunity is vaccination, which is a major form of prevention of disease, whether by prevention of infection (pathogen fails to mount sufficient reproduction in the host), prevention of severe disease (infection still happens but is not severe), or both. Vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases is a major relief of disease burden even though it usually cannot eradicate a disease. Vaccines against microorganisms that cause diseases can prepare the body's immune system, thus helping to fight or prevent an infection. The fact that mutations can cause cancer cells to produce proteins or other molecules that are known to the body forms the theoretical basis for therapeutic cancer vaccines. Other molecules can be used for immunization as well, for example in experimental vaccines against nicotine (NicVAX) or the hormone ghrelin in experiments to create an obesity vaccine.

Immunizations are often widely stated as less risky and an easier way to become immune to a particular disease than risking a milder form of the disease itself. They are important for both adults and children in that they can protect us from the many diseases out there. Immunization not only protects children against deadly diseases but also helps in developing children's immune systems. Through the use of immunizations, some infections and diseases have almost completely been eradicated throughout the World.  One example is polio. Thanks to dedicated health care professionals and the parents of children who vaccinated on schedule, polio has been eliminated in the U.S. since 1979. Polio is still found in other parts of the world so certain people could still be at risk of getting it. This includes those people who have never had the vaccine, those who didn't receive all doses of the vaccine, or those traveling to areas of the world where polio is still prevalent.

Active immunization/vaccination has been named one of the "Ten Great Public Health Achievements in the 20th Century".

History

Before the introduction of vaccines, people could only become immune to an infectious disease by contracting the disease and surviving it. Smallpox (variola) was prevented in this way by inoculation, which produced a milder effect than the natural disease. The first clear reference to smallpox inoculation was made by the Chinese author Wan Quan (1499–1582) in his Douzhen xinfa (痘疹心法) published in 1549. In China, powdered smallpox scabs were blown up the noses of the healthy. The patients would then develop a mild case of the disease and from then on were immune to it. The technique did have a 0.5–2.0% mortality rate, but that was considerably less than the 20–30% mortality rate of the disease itself. Two reports on the Chinese practice of inoculation were received by the Royal Society in London in 1700; one by Dr. Martin Lister who received a report by an employee of the East India Company stationed in China and another by Clopton Havers. According to Voltaire (1742), the Turks derived their use of inoculation from neighbouring Circassia. Voltaire does not speculate on where the Circassians derived their technique from, though he reports that the Chinese have practiced it "these hundred years". It was introduced into England from Turkey by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu in 1721 and used by Zabdiel Boylston in Boston the same year. In 1798 Edward Jenner introduced inoculation  with cowpox (smallpox vaccine), a much safer procedure. This procedure, referred to as vaccination, gradually replaced smallpox inoculation, now called variolation to distinguish it from vaccination. Until the 1880s vaccine/vaccination referred only to smallpox, but Louis Pasteur developed immunization methods for chicken cholera and anthrax in animals and for human rabies, and suggested that the terms vaccine/vaccination should be extended to cover the new procedures. This can cause confusion if care is not taken to specify which vaccine is used e.g. measles vaccine or influenza vaccine.

Passive and active immunization

Immunization can be achieved in an active or passive manner: vaccination is an active form of immunization.

Active immunization

Active immunization can occur naturally when a person comes in contact with, for example, a microbe. The immune system will eventually create antibodies and other defenses against the microbe. The next time, the immune response against this microbe can be very efficient; this is the case in many of the childhood infections that a person only contracts once, but then is immune.

Artificial active immunization is where the microbe, or parts of it, are injected into the person before they are able to take it in naturally. If whole microbes are used, they are pre-treated.

The importance of immunization is so great that the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has named it one of the "Ten Great Public Health Achievements in the 20th Century".
Live attenuated vaccines have decreased pathogenicity. Their effectiveness depends on the immune systems ability to replicate and elicits a response similar to natural infection. It is usually effective with a single dose. Examples of live, attenuated vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella, MMR, yellow fever, varicella, rotavirus, and influenza (LAIV).

Passive immunization

Passive immunization is where pre-synthesized elements of the immune system are transferred to a person so that the body does not need to produce these elements itself. Currently, antibodies can be used for passive immunization. This method of immunization begins to work very quickly, but it is short lasting, because the antibodies are naturally broken down, and if there are no B cells to produce more antibodies, they will disappear.

Passive immunization occurs physiologically, when antibodies are transferred from mother to fetus during pregnancy, to protect the fetus before and shortly after birth.

Artificial passive immunization is normally administered by injection and is used if there has been a recent outbreak of a particular disease or as an emergency treatment for toxicity, as in for tetanus. The antibodies can be produced in animals, called "serum therapy," although there is a high chance of anaphylactic shock because of immunity against animal serum itself. Thus, humanized antibodies produced in vitro by cell culture are used instead if available.

Economics of immunizations

Positive externality
Immunizations impose what is known as a positive consumer externality on society. In addition to providing the individual with protection against certain antigens it adds greater protection to all other individuals in society through herd immunity. Because this extra protection is not accounted for in the market transactions for immunizations we see an undervaluing of the marginal benefit of each immunization. This market failure is caused by individuals making decisions based on their private marginal benefit instead of the social marginal benefit. Society's undervaluing of immunizations means that through normal market transactions we end up at a quantity that is lower than what is socially optimal.

For example, if individual A values their own immunity to an antigen at $100 but the immunization costs $150, individual A will decide against receiving immunization. However, if the added benefit of herd immunity means person B values person A's immunity at $70 then the total social marginal benefit of their immunization is $170. Individual A's private marginal benefit being lower than the social marginal benefit leads to an under-consumption of immunizations.

Socially optimal outcome
Having private marginal benefits lower than social marginal benefits will always lead to an under-consumption of any good. The size of the disparity is determined by the value that society places on each different immunization. Many times, immunizations do not reach a socially optimum quantity high enough to eradicate the antigen. Instead, they reach a social quantity that allows for an optimal amount of sick individuals. Most of the commonly immunized diseases in the United States still see a small presence with occasional larger outbreaks. Measles is a good example of a disease whose social optimum leaves enough room for outbreaks in the United States that often lead to the deaths of a handful of individuals.

There are also examples of illnesses so dangerous that the social optimum ended with the eradication of the virus, such as smallpox. In these cases, the social marginal benefit is so large that society is willing to pay the cost to reach a level of immunization that makes the spread and survival of the disease impossible.

Despite the severity of certain illnesses, the cost of immunization versus the social marginal benefit means that total eradication is not always the end goal of immunization. Though it is hard to tell exactly where the socially optimal outcome is, we know that it is not the eradication of all disease for which an immunization exists.

Internalizing the externality
In order to internalize the positive externality imposed by immunizations payments equal to the marginal benefit must be made. In countries like the United States these payment usually come in the form of subsidies from the government. Before 1962 immunization programs in the United States were run on the local and state level of governments. The inconsistency in subsidies lead to some regions of the United States reaching the socially optimal quantity while other regions were left without subsidies and remained at the private marginal benefit level of immunizations. Since 1962 and the Vaccination Assistance Act, the United States as a whole has been moving towards the socially optimal outcome on a larger scale. Despite government subsidies it is difficult to tell when social optimum has been achieved. In addition to hardships determining the true social marginal benefit of immunizations we see cultural movements shifting private marginal benefit curves. Vaccine controversies have changed the way some private citizens view the marginal benefit of being immunized. If Individual A believes that there is a large health risk, possibly larger than the antigen itself, associated with immunization they will not be willing to pay for or receive immunization. With fewer willing participants and a widening marginal benefit reaching a social optimum becomes more difficult for governments to achieve through subsidies.

Outside of government intervention through subsidies, non profit organizations can also move a society towards the socially optimal outcome by providing free immunizations to developing regions. Without the ability to afford the immunizations to begin with, developing societies will not be able to reach a quantity determined by private marginal benefits. By running immunization programs organizations are able to move privately under-immunized communities towards the social optimum.

Race, ethnicity and immunization
In the United States, race and ethnicity are strong determinants of utilization of preventive and therapeutic health services as well as health outcomes. Rates of infant mortality and most of the leading causes of overall mortality have been higher in African Americans than in European Americans. A recent analysis of mortality from influenza and pneumonia revealed that African Americans died of these causes at higher rates than European Americans in 1999–2018. Contributing to these racial disparities are lower rates of immunization against influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, death rates have been higher in African Americans than European Americans and vaccination rates have lagged in African Americans during the roll-out. Among Hispanics immunization rates are lower than those in non-Hispanic whites.

The Hope Probe will start its journey July 14, 2020
Data of the mission will be regularly available to the public without any embargo
LONDON: In just 40 days, the UAE will become the first Arab country to send a mission to Mars, part of a wider regional effort to build knowledge and create opportunities, particularly for young people.
"This mission is not just about the UAE it's about the region, it's about the Arab issue," Omran Sharaf, the mission's project manager at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC), said.
"The region is going through tough times and we do need good news and we need the youth in the region to really start looking inwards, building their own nations and putting differences aside to co-exist with people with different faiths and backgrounds and work together."
The Hope Mars Mission will start its journey on July 14 and is expected to reach the planet by February, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the UAE.
The project has been planned, managed and implemented by an Emirati team overseen and funded by the UAE Space Agency.
The MBRSC has developed the probe in cooperation with international partners, including the Universities of Colorado, Berkeley and Arizona.

Speaking at a webinar on the mission on Monday, Sarah Al-Amiri, the UAE's Minister of State for Advanced Sciences, outlined why the project was so important to the Emirates.
"Today the UAE is an economy based on services, logistics, and oil and gas, and within the region it is considered a diversified economy, but if we project that down the line, the importance of knowledge-intensive sectors becomes more and more prominent for the country, as well as creating new knowledge-intensive organizations," she said.

Developing talent, creating opportunities for engineers, scientists, and researchers working in natural sciences are the next important endeavours for the country, the minister added.
"Mars provided us with the necessary challenge to rigorously develop talent in engineering, it gave us an appetite for risk and being able to circumvent the risk and push forward with the mission for development. It allows us to start integrating and creating new opportunities for scientists within the UAE and those that are studying the natural sciences," Al-Amiri said.
Since the project was launched in 2014, the team has designed, developed and assembled the spacecraft, and repeatedly tested it through the harsh conditions it is expected to encounter.

As the UAE does not have a launch pad, the spacecraft was shipped to Japan in April. It was moved three weeks ahead of schedule, due to the increasing travel restrictions being imposed to combat the spread of COVID-19.
"Nothing about this mission has been easy, since day one the timeframe has been challenging, the budget itself has been a bit challenging, there were very strict requirements when we came to the budget and it was limited and then the COVID-19 situation came into place on top of all the other challenges," Sharaf said.
He added that the details of the budget would be announced at a later stage.
"When it comes to these projects, the public understands the importance for the UAE," Sharaf said. "It's about addressing our national challenges and building capabilities. We live in a region with geographical challenges, when it comes to water, food and clean energy and everybody is quite excited about this mission because they understand the value it brings."

Al-Amiri said the data from the mission would be publicly available from two months after the spacecraft starts to orbit Mars between August and September next year.
Any scientist would be able to use the information and analyze the figures, she said.
"We are looking at and studying a planet that has indications that it was very similar to our own planet and that has undergone some form of change and has gone into a point where it can't have one of the major building blocks of life, as we humans know it and as we have defined it.
"Understanding the reasons for the loss of hydrogen and oxygen, the building blocks of water from the atmosphere of Mars and understanding what role does mars itself play."
The Hope probe will start its journey on July 14, 2020, and is scheduled to arrive to Mars by Feb. 2021, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the union of the UAE.
The team would also be studying the weather on Mars throughout an entire year.
"We are the very first weather satellites of Mars," Al-Amiri said. "Prior to this we have been studying the weather on that planet and understanding better the climate of Mars by sporadically sampling various areas around the planet but not understanding the changes that happened throughout an entire day."
However, Sharaf said "the UAE has always had plans for the future and we are definitely not going to stop with Mars.
The UAE space program is more of a mean or a tool to build our knowledge economy, so reaching Mars is not the objective and whatever the next phase is will be focused more on transferring that knowledge to the different sectors that we have in the UAE."
Over the last 60 years, only six countries have sent missions to the Red Planet.
"Space travel has by and large been in the group of a small select number of superpowers, so this is a great opportunity for the UAE to go beyond that and to go into something different," Alistair Burt, Chairman of the Emirates Society, which hosted the webinar from London, said.
The Emirates has already launched two satellites and sent an astronaut to the International Space Station and it has vowed to build a human settlement on Mars by 2117.

"Fifty percent of the missions that go to Mars have failed and this is one of the reasons the UAE chose Mars as a target because of the challenges around it and it's a message that the challenges that we are facing in the region are not easier," Sharaf said. "The best way to increase the likelihood of succeeding is by testing, testing and again testing, debugging and then fixing, and that's why the philosophy of the mission is to continue testing till the day that we are going to launch and we won't stop this."
Sir Ian Blatchford, director of the UK's Science Museum Group, described the UAE's project as fascinating.
"What they are trying to achieve is remarkable for a country that is developing this infrastructure, but particularly I think they're being very modest in describing the fact that they're doing it in half the time," he said.
Three other missions are heading for Mars over the next year, including NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover, China's Tianwen-1, which will launch next month, and ExoMars, a collaboration between the European Space Agency and the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

Use and abuse of emergency contracts during the pandemic
Country/area: Spain
Organisation: Civio
Organisation size: Small
Credit: Eva Belmonte, David Cabo, Carmen Torrecillas, Antonio Hernández, Ángela Bernardo, María Álvarez Del Vayo, Miguel Ángel Gavilanes, Lucas Laursen
The Civio Foundation (Fundación Ciudadana Civio) is an independent, non-profit organization based in Spain which monitors public authorities, reports to all citizens and lobbies to achieve true and effective transparency within our institutions. We work for the following: to achieve free access to the information generated by them; to understand how they make decisions; to have public policies based on evidence; to succeed in the public sector being held accountable; and to facilitate action and public participation. The levers we use to achieve these changes are journalism and innovation. We are a multi-disciplinary team of 10 (journalists, computer programmers, and experts in communications and marketing, institutional relations and business development) with international patronage and an advisory board committed to improving democracy.
This investigation is part of Tenders Guru, a project funded by the European Union that aims to monitor public procurement processes in Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Spain.
In 2020, due to the COVID pandemic, Spanish public administrations used emergency procedures to grant companies – in a discretionary way and with minimal control nor transparency -16,589 contracts for 6,445 million euros. And, although the vast majority of these contracts were used to purchase health supplies against COVID-19, they were also used to grant public television concessions, to purchase tasers and even to hire camels for a parade on Christmas. In this data-driven investigation, Civio analyzed for the first time the emergency contracts of all the Spanish public administrations -national, regional and local- awarded and published in 2020.
This investigation is a series of three articles. To work on the issue, the team extracted, cleaned and structured and completed data for months (finding omission of information, errors, incoherent codes, delays and differences in the forms of publication of each administration…) to make up the most exhaustive emergency contracting database available in Spain. Understanding the data required the knowledge accumulated for years investigating public contracts and the technical capacities of the team. Sparing no time, cost or effort.
We reveal three facts: 1) There was a lot of concentration of the money granted in a few companies. Four companies took 10% of all 6,445 million euros. And the one which was awarded the most was not even related to health matters before the pandemic; 2) The supply price gouging which unleashed as the pandemic evolved. There was a lack of stock of many products and intermediaries eager to do business, on occasions, deceived public administrations. For example, while some public bodies paid 25 cents per unit for FFP2 masks, others paid 8 euros each. 3) The rules of emergency contracting were not followed. More than half of the contracts were published late, and many had not yet been made public when this investigation came to light.
This series was published by Civio -with El País acting as republishing partner- and reached tens of thousands of readers. Additionally, many other Spanish outlets echoed the investigation, e.g. La Sexta, RTVE, TV3 and La Razón, among many others.
One of Civio's main goals is to lobby when we, after spending months working on an issue, find something that should be changed. For this purpose, we have shared our datasets with almost twenty public procurement and anti-corruption monitoring bodies and have met with some of them to share our recommendations.
The data used in this article comes from the Public Sector Contracting Platform (PLCSP), where the majority of Spanish public entities publish procurement data. We scraped all contracts published from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. They total 119,976. In addition, we have also added the contracts that some regional administrations (such as Madrid and Catalonia) publish on their own websites and only summarise on the PLCSP. We found 53,838 such contracts. The goal was to create a comprehensive database for understanding emergency procurement in 2020 and detect potential abuses of the rules.
Once we created the database, we reviewed it for possible errors through a combination of automated and manual processes: duplicate files, mis-classified procedures, lots with the wrong prices, mistaken fiscal identification numbers or names written differently each time…
Once the dataset was cleased and stored in a PostgreSQL database, a numer of SQL queries were performed to provide data journalists with subsets to analyse. E.g. total awards per company, evolution of unit prices along time for specific products, time delays.
Interactive visualisations were a key element of the final product, in order to explain to a general audience a complex subject. A variety of visual elements were custom developed using the JavaScript D3.js library on the Observable platform through different modular notebooks. All of them are responsive, adapting to the different device sizes including small mobile displays, and are easily embeddable in multiple languages through Iframe HTML code.
We have been investigating public contracting for years in Civio and it is always one of the most complex subjects we put ourselves to work in. Data has mistakes: duplicate files, mis-classified procedures, wrong prices, mistaken fiscal identification numbers (especially in the case of non-EU companies, which tend to be inconsistently filled in) or names written differently each time, and separate contracts published together that we have had to extract and separate ourselves manually or any other problem that you can imagine. We always plan these projects for a work load of months knowing the difficulties, and we always end up spending, at least, a couple more months to finish them.
We have filled in as many gaps as possible using the information we had, so we have had to dig up the original award documents when needed. And, sometimes, we couldn't even find basic information in those documents, such as what had been bought from whom and for how much money. The two main barriers have been missing information and inconsistency and typos in the data.
But the end result has been worth it: we have the most comprehensive emergency contracting database available in Spain. It has served to radiograph how our public institutions have been contracting during a time when everybody was looking at the pandemic and to detect abuses. And also, we designed a search engine to facilitate any query about emergency contracting in public administrations and have released all databases on our site.
We take public contracting very seriously and have been advocating for changes for many years. We believe that transparency in this issue could, at least, make it easier to find abuses within the system. Since it has been very difficult to pursue these kinds of changes, we always make the subject knowledge available for everyone, specially, journalists. For instance, we have recorded a series of short videos in which we explain basic principles for investigating public contracts: legal framework, sources of information, essential concepts, red flags (signs of possible fraud) and how to find journalistic stories in the fine print of the contractual information. All videos are available in both Spanish and English on our webpage or Youtube.
Also, we made public all of the four repositories of emergency contracts that we created for this investigation. They have already been downloaded about a hundred times. Mainly by journalists, academic institutions and civil society organizations. Many of them even made their own stories with our data. For example, Carlos Otto, from El Confidencial, used the data to put the magnifying glass on emergency awards in a particular area: the cybersecurity of administrations; the newspaper Las Provincias looked at the public administrations of the Valencian Community in this information. And El Comercio focused on Asturias: it used our data to report emergency awards in the region and how the price paid there for some products tripled in less than 10 days. We are proud to create information that can be used and analysed with different angles for common knowledge and for the fight for transparency in public administrations.

Q: I am getting Expected identifier in Xcode I'm making an app for iPhone using obj-c that finds side lengths and angles for triangles. Part of the app uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
NSNumber *pySidea = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:[[sideA text] integerValue]];
NSNumber *pySideb = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:[[sideB text] integerValue]];
NSNumber *pySidec = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:[[sideC text] integerValue]];

int pyAside = [pySidea intValue];
int pyBside = [pySideb intValue];
int pyCside = [pySidec intValue];

if ([aSide length] = 0) {
    NSString *finalAnserc = [sqrtf(powf(pyAside, 2) + powf(pyBside, 2))];
    sideCstring = @"_anserSidec";
}

sideA, sideB and sideC are the sides of a triangle using a text field. I don't get an error for any part except
if ([aSide length] = 0) {
    NSString *finalAnserc = [sqrtf(powf(pyAside, 2) + powf(pyBside, 2))];
    sideCstring = @"_anserSidec";
}

where I get "Expected identifier". Thanks for any help.

A: This line:
NSString *finalAnserc = [sqrtf(powf(pyAside, 2) + powf(pyBside, 2))];

Seems to be wanting to create a string, but doesn't do anything except some arithmetic inside square brackets, which isn't valid syntax.  I think you want something like:
float answer = sqrtf(powf(pyAside, 2) + powf(pyBside, 2));
NSString *finalAnswer = [[NSNumber numberWithFloat:answer] stringValue];

Calling powf() to square a number is a bit heavy-handed, too.  You could just write:
float answer = sqrtf(pyAside*pyAside + pyBside*pyBside);

As Nithin notes in his answer, you have a logical error with your if statement too - you want to be using == probably.

A: Check your 'if' condition , it should be if([aSide length] == 0)
Remember two equal (=) signs...

Liberman@WGSlawyers.com
Marty Liberman is an experienced litigator and real estate lawyer involving both residential and commercial real estate matters.
As a litigator, Marty has been involved in several landmark decisions, has created new law on numerous occasions and has been involved in multi-million-dollar cases, trials and recoveries.
Marty successfully represented over 15,000 tenants in Parsippany, New Jersey against 26 Apartment complexes in two separate class actions cases, recovering over $10M for his clients which resulted in a change in the municipality's rent control laws at such time, and had a special election voided when the Landlords attempted a referendum.
Marty was involved in the landmark case of Crispin v. Volkswagen resulting in the creation of New Jersey Court Rule 4:5-1 which became known as the "entire controversy doctrine" which did not exist at the time. This matter took 14 years to finalize and went to the New Jersey Supreme Court three times. The verdict in this case exceeded $6.5M.
Marty was involved in the landmark decision of Conley v. Guerrero which resulted in the Supreme Court of New Jersey changing the real estate Attorney Review law for the first time since 1983. This decision modified the way in which all lawyers in New Jersey are able to terminate real estate contract and leases and clarified once and for all how contracts may be terminated or modified, which won great praise from both the New Jersey Bar Association as well as the New Jersey Board of Realtors. This case started in 2014 and went through the entire court system ending up in the Supreme Court of New Jersey due to its importance.
Marty also successfully handled a slip and fall case, Sklar v. Wells Fargo which was the 10 th largest verdict in New Jersey. The jury awarded the plaintiff and his wife over $5M due to negligence of a bank in failing to properly protect patrons coming onto the bank's property in Livingston, New Jersey.
Marty successfully resolved a wrongful death accident for the family of a young man who was killed in a motor vehicle accident involving a very well-known automobile manufacturer. The case is a sealed settlement and not disclosable. The family of the decent was very happy with this recovery.
In 2022, and while representing the New Jersey State Bar Association as a Board of Consultor Member for the Real Estate Committee, Marty primarily wrote the briefs in both the Appellate Division and the Supreme Court in a matter entitled Sullivan vs. Max Spann, dealing with whether an Attorney Review provision is required to be inserted in an auction sales contract.
Marty has also handled many other matters over the years having obtained substantial settlements and recoveries for his clients in the millions of dollars.
On the real estate side, Marty was credited with creating the REP-GIT-4 form for New Jersey, which is an exemption process for a seller to avoid backup withholding on residential real estate matters, and played an integral part in the removal of the Bulk Sales Transfer Act as it related to residential real estate closings, resulting in Governor Christie rescinding this law and procedure retroactively to the date it was enacted.
Marty also specializes in working with Corporate Relocation Companies and Title Companies, which is also his forte. He is a Member of the Employee Relocation Counsel, Washington, D.C. and represents numerous Relocation companies transferring its key employees in and out of New Jersey and New York. Since he started in practice years ago, his first big client was AT&T from Basking Ridge, New Jersey were he and a few other attorneys represented the entire plant in Basking Ridge, New Jersey until several major recessions occurred. Marty has completely over 25,000 closings in his career and is a key person when it comes to problem solving and procedure.
Marty is a member of the New Jersey, New York and Georgia Bars; the District Court of New Jersey and the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit; a Board of Consultor Member for the New Jersey State Bar Association for the Real Estate and Tax Committees; past Chairman of the Real Estate Committee for the Morris County Bar Association for 25 years; a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, and the New Jersey Trial Lawyers Association. He also has been the moderator for numerous NJ ICLE seminars for the past many years, especially the "Real Estate College Seminar" which he has moderated and lectured for the six years, the most recent having occurred in August 2022, also having updated all seminar materials and publications in August 2022. He has also authored numerous Articles for the NJ State Bar and Morris County Bar Association over the years.
Marty is licensed in New Jersey, New York and Georgia, having attended Emory University Law School, Atlanta, Georgia, where he was on the moot court team. He also attended Oglethorpe University in Atlanta where he graduated with a BBA and Accounting Degrees with honors.

Sorry, I have looked at your pattern again and I can now see that it is not a straight forward rib. Apologies. But would still like the 2nd row. Thank you.
i loved your hat pattern. The vide about short cut with cables was also a great help. Having read the pattern I note that you might have made a mistake with the ribbing. From the picture I would say it was a 2/2 rib. So does the K2.K.1 P.1 refer to the cable pattern.
