Zika outbreak in Singapore alarms region
Copyright: Lianne Milton/Panos
Zika cases in Singapore surged to 275 in the ten days from 27 August
MOH discovers virus that likely evolved from a strain known in ASEAN
Expert says something changed in the virus that made it 'more infective'

[SYDNEY] Seventeen new cases of locally transmitted Zika virus infection in Singapore were confirmed on 6 September by the country's Ministry of Health (MOH), raising the tally to 275 cases since the outbreak on 27 August.
The sudden spike in one of the cleanest countries in the ASEAN region has raised concerns of possible spread to its densely populated neighbours although local transmission of Zika by the Aedes aegypti mosquito has been reported in Indonesia and Thailand.
"Zika may spread to other areas of South-East Asia but to what level is difficult to predict."
Irani Thevarajan, Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, Melbourne
According to a new modelling study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as Bangladesh, India, Nigeria and Pakistan, are expected to be at greatest risk of Zika virus transmission.
"Zika may spread to other areas of South-East Asia but to what level is difficult to predict. Warmer climates lead to more mosquitoes.
Wherever there is a vector, there is a possibility that it might be introduced into that geographical area," says Irani Thevarajan, an infectious diseases physician based at the Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne.
Thevarajan tells SciDev.Net that Zika transmission actually has very little to do with cleanliness and much more to do with the presence of vectors and breeding sites for the mosquitoes. "Local transmission in any area is related to the presence of mosquitoes that can transmit the virus, which are present in Singapore and are the same ones that can transmit the dengue virus."
So why is it spreading so fast in the city state with a population of only 5.7 million?
Thevarajan says that while Zika has been around in Asia, it's unclear why there has not been more outbreaks earlier and why the sudden outbreak now. "Perhaps, there is a combination of factors such as more heightened testing of Zika and introduction from travellers to Singapore. It's also possible that something might have changed in the virus for it to become more infective."
According to a MOH statement, "There is a potential new cluster involving one previously reported case and a new case [on 3 September]. The other six cases have no known links to any existing cluster." An analysis of two cases found that they had likely evolved from a strain of Zika that was already circulating in South-East Asia.
Last February, the WHO announced a global state of emergency concerning the Zika virus, predicting as many as four million cases by year end. It has commended Singapore as a global role model in how the city-state has managed the situation.
The MOH will no longer require suspect Zika cases to be isolated while waiting for test results. The MOH will also extend subsidies for the Zika test to all Singaporeans with Zika symptoms. The National Environment Agency is continuing with vector control operations and outreach efforts.

"Good surveillance is the first step towards having an appropriate response. There is no vaccine for Zika so a lot of the control measures would focus on vector control elimination of breeding areas, use of insecticides and trying to interrupt the breeding cycle," Thevarajan says.
"Also [important] is personal protective behaviour by individuals, which is twofold. To protect oneself from being bitten by mosquitoes by using repellents and if one is infected by Zika, to protect oneself from being bitten again by a mosquito as that mosquito in turn could get infected and spread the virus," she adds.

Scheifele Scores 21 Seconds into OT to Lift Jets to 3-2 Win Over Stars
November 10, 2019 4:20 PM | The Canadian Press
By Judy Owen, The Canadian Press
Winnipeg Jets' Mark Scheifele (55) scores the game-winning goal in overtime on Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin (35) during NHL action in Winnipeg on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2019. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Fred Greenslade)
WINNIPEG — Mark Scheifele decided the best move was for him to shoot the puck instead of passing it.
He made the right choice.
The veteran centre scored 21 seconds into overtime as the Winnipeg Jets ended the Dallas Stars' winning streak at four games with a 3-2 victory on Sunday.
Scheifele got his seventh goal of the season when he went in on a 2-on-1 with Kyle Connor, and kept the puck before beating Anton Khudobin with a low shot.
"At first I thought (Stars defenceman Miro) Heiskanen was going to come over a little more and I was going to go into the triangle to (Connor), but he kinda backed off a little bit and I thought I'd just shoot it," Scheifele said.
It marked Scheifele's ninth career overtime goal, tying Ilya Kovalchuk for the most in Jets/Atlanta Thrashers history.
Patrik Laine snapped a 10-game scoring drought with a power-play goal and Andrew Copp also scored at even strength for the Jets (10-7-1).
Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves for Winnipeg, which has points in its past five games (4-0-1).
Mattias Janmark and Radek Faksa scored for the Stars (8-8-2), who were beginning a four-game road trip.
Khudobin stopped 26 shots for Dallas in his seventh game of the season.
"With our system we're going to get chances," said Stars forward Jamie Benn. "You know we haven't been successful just because we've been lucky as of late.
"We believe in what we're doing and we've just gotta stick with that."
Benn is on a 13-game scoring drought, tying his own career low mark.
Dallas coach Jim Montgomery said the team's best players have to be their best players.
"They have to decide who's going to be a difference-maker," Montgomery said. "I mean, look who scored for the Jets.
"We got really good, big goals from Janmark and Faksa and that's our third and fourth line."
Winnipeg led 1-0 after the first period following a slow start.
The Jets didn't get their first shot on goal until five and a half minutes into the opening frame, and then had a quick second and third shot with just over five minutes remaining.
Their goal came with Benn in the penalty box for interference.
Laine rifled a one-timer high over Khudobin's left shoulder with 27 seconds left in the period, his fourth goal of the season and first since Oct. 10.
Winnipeg outshot the visitors 7-5 in the first, but Dallas swung the shot advantage to 17-13 in its favour after two periods, including a pair of goals.
Janmark tied the game at 5:22 of the second when he beat Hellebuyck on the glove side, followed by Faksa tipping in a point shot by Esa Lindell at 10:27. Faksa has three goals and one assist in a three-game point streak.
Copp quickly tied the game 2-2 at 1:52 of the third period off a rebound of a Tucker Poolman shoot. Copp stretched his point streak to three games, with two goals and an assist in that span.
"I think we've proved to ourselves that we can come back in any game this year," Copp said. "Any game where we're down a goal or two goals, it doesn't really matter how much time is left. We have the confidence we can do it. We've done it before.
"I don't think there's any real panic in our room when we get down a goal. We know the firepower that we have."
The Jets are 5-5-0 when trailing after the second period this season.
Winnipeg was gifted a power play late in the third when Khudobin went out of his net to beat Jets forward Jack Roslovic to the puck, but he ended up banging the puck over the glass and was dinged with a delay of game penalty with 5:15 left in the period.
The netminder made up for it by stopping three shots on Winnipeg's man advantage, including a blast from Laine.
Winnipeg finishes its four-game homestand Tuesday against Colorado. Dallas goes to Calgary for a Tuesday game versus the Flames.

Pairing damaged statues and reliefs dating from the 25th century BC to the 1st century AD with intact counterparts, the show testifies to ancient Egyptian artifacts' political and religious functions — and the entrenched culture of iconoclasm that led to their mutilation.
…"The consistency of the patterns where damage is found in sculpture suggests that it's purposeful," Bleiberg said, citing myriad political, religious, personal and criminal motivations for acts of vandalism. Discerning the difference between accidental damage and deliberate vandalism came down to recognizing such patterns. A protruding nose on a three-dimensional statue is easily broken, he conceded, but the plot thickens when flat reliefs also sport smashed noses.
…"Egyptian state religion," Bleiberg explained, was seen as "an arrangement where kings on Earth provide for the deity, and in return, the deity takes care of Egypt." Statues and reliefs were "a meeting point between the supernatural and this world," he said, only inhabited, or "revivified," when the ritual is performed. And acts of iconoclasm could disrupt that power.
…Indeed, "iconoclasm on a grand scale…was primarily political in motive," Bleiberg writes in the exhibition catalog for "Striking Power." Defacing statues aided ambitious rulers (and would-be rulers) with rewriting history to their advantage.
…"Hatshepsut's reign presented a problem for the legitimacy of Thutmose III's successor, and Thutmose solved this problem by virtually eliminating all imagistic and inscribed memory of Hatshepsut," Bleiberg writes.
…Nefertiti and her daughters also suffered; these acts of iconoclasm have obscured many details of her reign.
…"Imagery in public space is a reflection of who has the power to tell the story of what happened and what should be remembered," Bleiberg said. "We are witnessing the empowerment of many groups of people with different opinions of what the proper narrative is." Perhaps we can learn from the pharaohs; how we choose to rewrite our national stories might just take a few acts of iconoclasm.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur Returns to Leyte, Philippine Islands, 20 October 1944
Download Free from
MilitaryMashUp.com
On 7 December 1941 the attack on Pearl Harbor was accompanied by attacks on all American bases in the Pacific including Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces in the Philippines. After months of fighting, almost entirely a losing defense, MacArthur was holed up in his last redoubt on the fortified island of Corregidor. He was ordered by Roosevelt to escape by submarine to Australia to avoid his capture by the Japanese. On 11 March 1942, MacArthur complied, leaving his few remaining troops to certain capture or death, including the horrors of the Bataan Death March. His final words to them, and to all the Philippine patriots, were: "I shall return!" The entire American campaign in the Pacific Theatre of Operations was dedicated to making good on that promise and then extending the victories to the ultimate unconditional surrender of the Japanese.
At a few minutes after ten o'clock in the morning on A-Day, 20 October 1944, the first soldiers of MacArthur's liberation forces landed on Leyte, Philippine Islands. Following four hours of heavy naval gunfire, Sixth Army forces landed on assigned beaches at 1000 hours. Troops from X Corps pushed across a four-mile stretch of beach between Tacloban airfield and the Palo River. Fifteen miles to the south, XXIV Corps units came ashore across a three-mile beach between San José and the Daguitan River. By 1330 the Red Beach sector was secure enough to allow General MacArthur to make a dramatic entrance through the surf.
This photo was taken by a U.S. Army Signal Corps photographer as MacArthur and members of his staff and entourage waded ashore about four hours after the landings. With him were key figures of the exiled Philippine government, Philippine President Sergio Osmeña and Gen. Carlos P. Romulo. MacArthur announced upon reaching land: "People of the Philippines; I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil consecrated in the blood of our two people. We have come, dedicated and committed to the task of destroying every vestige of enemy control over your people. The hour of your redemption is here."
This photo is one of the most famous from World War II, showing MacArthur striding confidently through the surf toward the beach, looking like the epitome of a resolute leader. The actual plans at the time were for the General to land at a dock, but they could not find one that had survived the landing assault. While still 50 yards off shore, MacArthur's landing craft ran aground. MacArthur grew impatient and ordered the ramp lowered, stepped knee deep into the water, and strode toward the beach. Others in the party, of course, followed. His facial expression had more to do with irritation over the situation than the historic import of the occasion. It is rumored that MacArthur was so pleased with the photo that he reenacted the event to try to improve it.

Q: What configuration files change when installing SharePoint 2013? SharePoint is installed on the root Folder of IIS, sub-sites are in a folder under the root, and it's running on a Server 2008 R2 machine.
To start, i'm asking this question because after installing SharePoint 2013, other applications on sub-sites stopped working correctly.  Specifically, the PHP pages still worked, but all the ASPX pages stopped and the error would refer to SharePoint references in the web.config (or another config file).
So my question is, when SharePoint 2013 is first installed, what configuration files does it change that could affect all the sites/sub-sites on the same server?
I should point out that I've checked the web.config file for any affected pages, double checked the application pool is setup right, and even checked the global web.config and machine.config in the C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0*\config folder.  I have not found any SharePoint references in any config file besides the one in the root folder that SharePoint is installed to.
I'm not as familiar with how the web.config affects other sites as well, so if it is the main web.config in the root folder in IIS, could you explain how that affects the sub-sites, and if there is any way to separate the two without putting them on separate domains/servers?  Thanks.
Here's the last exception i was getting, which includes some of the references I see:
Exception type: PlatformNotSupportedException

Hi. First off, hats off to you for designing and supporting such an awesome theme. Hopefully you can shed some light on a problem I've been having with the slider not correctly displaying a link in the body of a post. The link displays and works fine in my post, but for some reason the slider is displaying the url along with the word NULL spelled out at the end. I've tried a few different urls and keep getting the same results. Any ideas?
Out of curiosity I disabled the slider and enabled the homepage pane but am seeing the url with NULL spelled out on the pane as well. Again the link on the post is fine. Can't figure out how to correct this. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
This is difficult to diagnose without seeing it live.
and entering <a> in the box labeled "Retain these HTML tags in excerpts".
Try disabling all your plugins, as well.
If that doesn't work, please post a link.
It turned out to be the Hikari Email Obfuscator plug-in that was causing the problem. I deactivated it and entered the <a> in the box you indicated and all is well.

E. coli prepares baby bellies for a world of germs
Gut bacteria may help newborn babies prepare for the bacteria that will soon enter their bodies, new research suggests.
In a new paper, the researchers conclude that nonpathogenic E. coli serves a crucial function of preparing the gut for the development of the microbiome to come, and the onslaught of pathogenic, or harmful, microbes.
The new results may help explain what past research has shown about the connection between the gut microbiome and the development of the newborn immune system.
A human intestinal organoid (HIO). This hollow ball of cells grown from human embryonic stem cells can be used to study basic gut development, and the effects of microbes, in a way that mimics the guts of newborn babies. (Credit: U. Michigan)
The findings may also lead to better understanding of what can protect or rescue premature newborns from the rare but devastating gut infection condition necrotizing enterocolitis, in which bacteria invade the gut wall and cause potentially fatal infection and inflammation.
Growing guts
To do the research, the team studied a strain of E. coli related to ones commonly found in newborn babies' stool. The researchers couldn't do their research in actual newborns' intestines, of course. Instead, they used stem cells to grow miniature versions of the gut lining, called human intestinal organoids.
"This type of work might help to explain why different types of gut bacteria seem to be associated with positive or negative health outcomes."
Each HIO, as they're called, is made up of thousands of cells that the scientists coax to grow, divide, and organize into structures that resemble the actual gut. At each HIO's center is a hollow area called a lumen, which mimics the hollow inner portion of the tube-like human intestine.
"We have previously shown that HIOs closely resemble the immature human intestine," says lead author David Hill, a postdoctoral fellow in gastroenterology at Michigan Medicine, the University of Michigan's academic medical center.
"In this study, we wanted to discover the effects of colonization on the intestine with a nonharmful strain of E. coli, a type of bacteria that is commonly found in the guts of newborn babies."
During growth, the researchers kept these HIOs germ-free, just like the gut of a fetus in the womb. Then, they introduced the helpful E. coli into the hollow center of the organoids.
The researchers tracked what happened inside the cells whose surfaces face the center and in the spaces between the cells. They looked at how the cells were altering gene activity over time in response to the introduction of E. coli.
The results were clear. After the researchers introduced the E. coli, the cells facing the lumen began to mature, form tighter connections with one another, and produce mucus to coat their surface.
Genes involved in cell-to-cell communication, and the physical structures cells use to link with their neighbors, activated. So did genes involved in making antimicrobial substances and mucus and transporting them to the cell surface. These genes are also involved in adaptation to low oxygen, which bacterial metabolism causes and is a hallmark of the mature adult intestine.
This activity led the HIOs to develop better resistance to inflammation-causing stimuli, which meant less damage to the cells lining the lumen.
"Our results show that colonization of the immature intestinal tract with E. coli results in intestinal tissue that is more robust to challenge by potentially damaging pathogens or inflammatory substances," says senior author Jason Spence, an associate professor of internal medicine and of cell and developmental biology at the University of Michigan.
Co-senior author Vincent Young, a professor of internal medicine, adds, "We have developed a system that faithfully reproduces the physiology of the immature human intestine, and will now make it possible to study a range of host-microbe interactions in the intestine to understand their functional role in health and disease."
The research grew out of cooperation between the Spence lab, which focuses on HIOs, and the Young lab, which focuses on the gut microbiome.
The team is now studying additional strains of nonharmful E. coli and other bacteria that take up long-term residence in the newborn gut, as well as pathogens.
"We hope to examine whether different bacteria produce different types of responses in the gut," says Hill. "This type of work might help to explain why different types of gut bacteria seem to be associated with positive or negative health outcomes."

Joe Cole would pay £80 MILLION for 'fearless' Dutch Forward
Harry Dowsett
November 29th 2022, 19:10
Cody Gakpo became just the second player in World Cup history to open the scoring three times in the same group stage as the Netherlands eased to a 2-0 victory over Qatar.
Gakpo has been on the radar of top teams across Europe for multiple seasons now, and he is doing his reputation no harm at the Qatar World Cup. His three goals have helped fire the Dutch to first place in group A, and former England midfielder Joe Cole did not hold back when praising the 23-year-old.

Speaking on ITV, Cole Said: "He's a young man, he's fearless, great movement for the goal, fantastic finishing – he's going to be high on everyone's wishlist" and went on to state that he would pay £80 million for the forward.
Manchester United are the club most heavily linked with the Dutchman, and with his compatriot Ten Hag at the helm, we could well see Gakpo at the Manchester club next season.

Minerstwo – termin odnoszący się do dwóch obszarów działalności wojskowej: wojny podziemno-minerskiej i inżynierii materiałów wybuchowych.

Minerstwo jako wojna podziemno-minerska to działania polegające na wykonywaniu podziemnych chodników w celu instalowania pod nieprzyjacielskimi umocnieniami ładunków wybuchowych, służącymi do ich zniszczenia.

Jako dziedzina inżynierii wojskowej (inżynieria materiałów wybuchowych), minerstwo obejmuje prace związane z użyciem materiałów wybuchowych, środków minerskich (np. min, ładunków wydłużonych) oraz sprzętu minerskiego (jak ustawiacze min, trały przeciwminowe itp.), tak w zakresie teoretycznym, jak i praktycznym.

Zagadnienia
Wśród zagadnień, które badają i opracowują inżynierowie materiałów wybuchowych, można wyodrębnić:
 Rozwój i charakterystyka nowych materiałów wybuchowych
 Minowanie i rozminowywanie terenów i obiektów
 Analiza fizycznego procesu detonacji
 Generowane wybuchowo fale uderzeniowe i ich wpływ na materiały
 Testy bezpieczeństwa materiałów wybuchowych
 Analiza i inżynieria piaskowania dla górnictwa
 Projektowanie i analiza wojskowych materiałów wybuchowych
 Produkcja materiałów wybuchowych

Recently, School of Information Science and Technology Assistant Professor Wang Haoyu's research group proposed a highly efficient LLC resonant topology for plug-in electric vehicle charging applications. Their work, "A Five-Switch Bridge Based Reconfigurable LLC Converter for Deeply-Depleted PEV Charging Applications," was recently published in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
This work presents a reconfigurable dual LLC converter based on a five-switch bridge to charge the deeply depleted PEV onboard battery packs. Due to the reconfiguration of the primary-side switch network, two resonant tanks could operate in integrated half-bridge, half-bridge, hybrid bridge, and full-bridge modes. Thus, four operation modes are derived, with their normalized voltage gains scaled to 1:2:3:4, respectively. Those four modes enable a squeezed switching frequency span, which is close to the resonant frequency. Therefore, the efficiency performance over an ultra-wide output voltage range can be optimized. Zero-voltage-switching can be realized in all power MOSFETs over the entire load range. The operating principles, and voltage gains analysis are briefed.
A 1.1 kW-rated prototype converting the 390V input to 100V-420V output, is designed and tested to validate the proof of concept. The prototype demonstrates 97.64% peak efficiency and good efficiency over the full charging range.
All the work was done in ShanghaiTech University. The first author is Li Cheng, a third-year master's student and the co-author is Shang Ming who earned his master's degree last year from ShanghaiTech. Wang Haoyu is the corresponding author. The work was supported by Shanghai Sailing Program, ShanghaiTech start-up funding, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

"Normal" weekends
I've not been looking at the beta builds of Rawhide this weekend. I don't think I will.
Instead – listening to music and playing with the kids.
I bought some CDs at HMV at Heathrow:
Joy Division – Unknown Pleasures – Collector's Edition
Joy Division – Still – Collector's Edition
Los Campesinos! – Hold on now, Youngsters
Also listening to Mark Radcliffe via the BBC iPlayer. Spot of old stuff (The Primatives, Stereolab) and new (Ting Tings, Vampire Weekend).
[Edit: I also purchased Control on DVD]
Off out for lunch later.

Ooh… Mark Radcliffe in the evenings on BBC Radio 2.
We listen to that all the time.
Have you seen 'Control' yet? It's out on DVD here in England now.
evilzenscientist	on March 1, 2008 at 11:37 am
I did – bought it at HMV too
Laurence Pitt	on March 2, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Nice… you'll enjoy that.
Although the home-cinema might be OTT for the retro-B&W look of the film. At least it's the proper version though, no 'gor blimey guvna' or 'you stupid sausage brain' comments in that one :o)
