If someone asked me how I would envision a garment against women, it would not be too difficult for me to respond. I would suggest something steel and hidebound, an I-beam with little to offer the imagination. It might be a dark cesspool of factory life, much as Marx would have written about in the nineteenth century. It might be a hairshirt or a black mirror that promises no future. In one sense, Anne Boyer's Garments Against Women captures this, but in another sense, it is a book that talks with a sense of hope about what the world could be.

Q: How to abandon a connection attempt if it takes too long I have an application I've written that works perfectly in the simulator. When I put it on a device however it does not.
It does one HttpRequest to get and parse all the xml containing all the urls of the thumbnails I want to download. Once all of that is done and the thread is closed, it will create a new thread which loops through all the url's and requests/downloads the thumbnails (7 at a time for each XML request). It works fine for the first 14-28 downloads, then one or two will fail. My question here is, how can I get the code:
_connFact.setAttemptsLimit(2);
_connFact.setRetryFactor(500);
_connFact.setTimeLimit(500);
_connFact.setConnectionTimeout(2000);
_connFact.setTimeoutSupported(true);
        //Hangs on the line below for 2-5 minutes on the ones that it failed to download
        //trans[i] is just a list of Transports that I've prechecked for coverage and availability
    for (int i = 0; i < trans.length; i++){
        _httpsConn = (HttpsConnection)_connFact.getConnection(URLFactory.EncodeUrl(trans[i], _url), trans[i], null).getConnection();
        if (_httpsConn != null){
        break;
        }
    }

to just die if it fails to connect. I'd rather have the app continue and display a broken thumbnail then hang for the 2+ minutes per failure it does now.

A: After a week of research:
An HttpConnection as most know is blocking. When doing many HttpRequests one after another the blackberry has trouble handling it. Eventually one will fail. This is a problem because ConnectionTimeout=Value flag is only supported with MDS / BES connections. Thus the connection does not time out and continues blocking. Unfortunatly this also blocks other applications (including browser etc) from working as well. The default timeout is 1 day, which means, the only way to fix this is to recycle the radio.
Thus the proper way to do many HttpRequests simultaneously is to use a NonBlockingSenderDestination with an application connection factory context like so and implement a separate MessageListener:
    _factory = new ConnectionFactory();
        _factory.setAttemptsLimit(3);
        if (DeviceInfo.isSimulator()) {
            _factory.setPreferredTransportTypes(new int[] { TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_WIFI,
                    TransportInfo.TRANSPORT_TCP_CELLULAR });
        }

        _context = new Context("yourappname", _factory);

NonBlockingSenderDestination destination = DestinationFactory.createNonBlockingSenderDestination(_context,
                    URI.create(url), this);
            destination.send();

This is the proper way to do it because you cannot abandon a conventional HttpConnection unless it is an MDS connection. This then, allows the OS to handle it and the application listens for a response. If no response is forthcoming, then it was abandoned by the OS.

Monegaskiska (Monégasque eller Munegascu) är ett romanskt språk baserat på zeneize, det moderna liguriska språket; det talas av vissa personer i furstendömet Monaco och lärs ut i landets skolor. Det är ganska likt språket som talas i Genua, och skiljer sig från sina grannspråk intemeliska och mentonska. Det är starkt influerat av occitanska.

Monegaskisk ortografi följer generellt italienska principer, med följande avvikelser:

 ü uttalas som på tyska, eller det franska u.
 œ uttalas som det franska é, inte som det franska œu som i bœuf, vilket är som œ uttalas på liguriska. Det använder också formen ö för att beskriva detta ljud.
 ç uttalas som på franska (/s/): tradiçiùn kommer från det franska tradition inte från det italienska tradizione.

Celebrating 160 years of the Guyana Police Force Band's legacy
President Granger addresses the gathering at the luncheon in observance of the 160th anniversary of the Guyana Police Force Military Band
IT was Billy Joel who said "I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music." This statement holds true for the Guyana Police Force Military Band, which has over the past 160 years of its existence, has won the hearts and admiration of Guyanese from all walks of life.
As the band celebrates its 160th anniversary this year, we will take a look in this week's Government in Action into its history, how it has impacted Guyanese culture and the national and international recognition that has been earned.
On August 29, 2018, President David Granger hosted a special luncheon to celebrate the milestone of the Guyana Police Force Band at the Baridi Benab at State House. As he reminisced on the pleasures of growing up seeing the band bring joy to hundreds of faces across the country, he also pledged his support and that of the Government of Guyana to what he called "a national institution."
President Granger noted that the Police Force's Band has become a state establishment which has served the Guyanese people well.
"The Force has built up a formidable reputation not only in Guyana but also in the Caribbean and even as far as the UK and it has produced a great number of talented musicians. The band has had an important role in the development of Guyanese culture because it is the best band in the land. The fact that the band has been awarded a National Award signifies the seriousness with which the State has taken the role, which the band has performed," he said.
The President expressed the hope that the band can become decentralised, with a presence in all of the ten administrative regions.
"The band doesn't just have a proud past; it also has an important future. Youngsters who are interested in playing music in all of the villages and regions are encouraged to emulate the Guyana Police Force Military Band. It will be such a great thing to be able to go to a region and see that every region has a major police division and every police division has a band. Some of the members may be volunteers, young apprentices. I would like to feel that the Police Band, as a national institution, shouldn't do so much travelling as it has to do now. It should be able to stimulate the growth of divisional bands throughout the Police Force. It is possible that young people can be encouraged. On the part of the Government of Guyana, I commit myself…This is a national institution and it deserves national support from a national president," he said.
History of the Band
But one may ask, what is the history and rationale behind the Guyana Police Force Band and what has been its accomplishments over the past 160 years?
The band was established on August 22, 1858, and was initially named the British Guiana Militia Band. At that time, it boasted a complement of one band master, who was Mr Christian A. Ahrens, one band sergeant and twenty band privates.
According to retired Assistant Police Commissioner and former band master and Director of Music, Mr Cecil Bovell, the Band–the only one of its kind at that time– was a proper playing unit and for these purposes, was consigned to the Mayor and Town Council in 1870.
Though the Band faced many challenges, among the highlights of its accomplishments and history was playing at a cricket match in 1884 for Prince George, who later went on to become King George. Prince George was serving as Junior Officer aboard the HMS Britannia when it visited Guyana. A cricket match was arranged between the ship's crew and a team from the Georgetown Club and the band was tasked with playing selected scores from the ship's band library at intervals on the day of the match.
"The renditions of the Band passed all expectations and the captain, Prince George and his officers were so pleased and impressed that they cheered the band repeatedly. The people present were hysterical over such royal recognition of the band's performance that they too started cheering the band for its excellent work and so that's where we started," Mr Bovell explained.
Three years later, the band moved from 21 persons to 35 persons due to its growing popularity. In 1924, under the direction of W Fawcett, it played at an exhibition at Wembley, England and placed second. In April 1935, the band master changed and Lieutenant Sydney Henwood took over. Sometime later, the British Guiana Militia regimen was disbanded and became attached to the British Guiana Garrison–the military base–but Henwood maintained its identity as the British Guiana Militia Band.
"Then in 1956, legislation was passed that the band must be attached to either the British Guiana Volunteer Force or the British Guiana Police Force for salary structure and so by 1957, the band was drafted into the Police Force. Members were given the option to swear in as policemen or resign. Ninety per cent of the band were sworn in and given regimental numbers. Henwood opted to resign and leave. By 1965, P G Small formed the core drums and the aim behind that was to ease the workload on the military band. In 1966, Mr Small was appointed band master with the rank of superintendent. In 1969, the band left for Expo '69 in Grenada," the former Director of Music noted.
In 1996, the band was awarded a national award– the Medal of Service– for long, dedicated and outstanding service to the nation in the field of entertainment and training of musicians.
Today, the band is headed by Superintendent Charmaine Stuart, who, in August 2016, created history by becoming the first female to become the Director of Music and Culture in the band's entire existence and served as the Force's Band Mistress. She has taken over a band that has approximately 35 members, approximately nine of whom are women, including the superintendent, who is a clarinet player.
The other sections of the band complex include the Steel Pan, String, Choir, Choral and Drum sections.
According to President Granger, the band has become a prominent feature at every major event in Guyana, whether it be the Independence Flag Raising ceremony, the Republic Anniversary, a national observance or even at the commemoration of the death anniversaries of former Presidents and other dignitaries.
"This band has produced a number of talented musicians. Even to now, it is difficult to imagine any major national function at which the Guyana Police Force Military Band is not present. From being a 700-year-old tradition on the battlefield for purely military purposes of advancing troops to battle, it has now become an important ceremonial and cultural tool which the whole country looks forward to," he said.
The Head of State noted that the band has played a significant role in shaping the cultural and musical landscape in Guyana and this is proven in the number of requests which the band receives on a daily basis.
The band has doubled its pace in maintaining the Force's commitment to the nation through music and culture and supporting local, national and international events. More recently, the Guyana Police Force Military Band has become synonymous with carol-singing at the Ministry of the Presidency during the Christmas season as well as visits for the Head of State's birthday.
Woman superintendent, Charmaine Stuart, Director of Music and Culture at the Guyana Police Force Band, said the band has planned activities in Linden, Berbice, Essequibo and Demerara in observance of its milestone.

Ricky Gervais Gets Jeers from Golden Globes Crowd for Cracks About Caitlyn Jenner and Transgender Movement
The four-time host emceed the 73rd annual Golden Globes live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel on NBC
Ricky Gervais didn't hold back during his Golden Globes opening monologue, taking aim at Caitlyn Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence and other big stars.
"All these rich, beautiful celebrities having the time of their lives. Let's hope nobody spoils that," he said. "You are megastars with enormous talent. Most of you – some of you just married well."
He also took aim at Ben Affleck, stunning the crowd when introducing presenter Matt Damon and joking that The Martian actor is "the only person who Ben Affleck hasn't been unfaithful to."
Despite his reputation, Gervais said that he was planning on being nicer than usual in his monologue.
"I've changed. Not as much as Bruce Jenner, obviously – now Caitlyn Jenner, of course. What a year she's had. She became a role model for trans people everywhere," he said, saying she's showed "great bravery."
"She didn't do a lot for women drivers, but you can't have everything," he added, referencing Jenner's involvement in a deadly car accident in February 2015.
He also touched on Jennifer Lawrence speaking out about the wage gap in Hollywood.
"She received overwhelming support from people everywhere. There were marches on the street," he said. " 'How the hell can a 25 year old live on $52 million?' "
Check out PEOPLE's full Golden Globes 2016 coverage!
Gervais also joked he was getting paid the same as previous hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: "I know there were two of them, but I can't help it if they want to share it."
Gervais then took on Spotlight, saying Roman Polanski called it "the best date night ever," and Transparent nominee Jeffrey Tambor, saying it takes "balls" to take on his role, getting groans from the audience when he added he's seen them and they are "huge and long."
The comedian previously hosted three years in a row from 2010-2012, during which he earned a reputation for skewering celebs and not shying away from controversy. Ahead of this year's show, Gervais admitted in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that he initially turned down the offer to return as host.
"I really did say 'no,' " he explained. "I was editing one film I made this year and I was about to film another one, and I just thought, I just haven't got the time, but they said all the right things. They said I could say what I want again."
The 73rd annual Golden Globes are being presented live from Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on NBC.

klau|s|ens, ich fühle mich irgendwie mies.
zweitklausens, du magst weder die politik von china noch die funktionäre des IOC … und herrn roland koch magst du auch nicht, obwohl der den freund vom dalai lama spielt.
in diesen tagen sind doch alle menschen freund vom dalai lama – das ist ja das schöne: er hat nur freunde … und dennoch wird auf der welt alles und jeder unterdrückt.
ach, halt doch bitte deinen mund!
warum säst du nun unfrieden?
der mensch ist ein tier des unfriedens – das solltest du wissen.
weißt du, ich hörte heute im radio über die uraufführung von lessings "nathan der weise".
hast du schon mal überlegt, wann das stück uraufgeführt wurde … und was seitdem alles zwischen christen, juden und muslimen geschehen ist – dabei war es ein stück des ausgleichs zwischen den 3 monotheistischen religionen.
ja, ja, so ist die welt, so ist das leben … aber etwas ändern will man ja doch.
und was willst du ändern?
ich will viel freiheit und wenig unterdrückung … und deshalb möchte ich, dass die sportler in peking protestieren können … ohne dann wegen dieser regel 51, dieser rule 51, die wir ja schon im blog(g) abdruckten, komplett, original, auf englisch … also ohne dass die sportler dann ausgeschlossen werden können.
dann sage uns doch deine neue option für ein "free-tibet-accessoire", wie du es ja nennst.
in diesem fall sind es mehrere.
aha – darf ich wissen, welche.
… dass da z.b. die speerwerferin steffi nerius sitzt, zwischen zwei würfen … dann nimmt sie ein tibetrotes t-shirt … und dann legt und stellt sie beiläufig dinge darauf, die in den farben blau und gelb und weiß dann zusammen die farben der flagge ergeben.
du meinst, keine fahne als solche, auch keinen fertigen bademantel in den farben tibets – sondern eine collage, die immer wieder neu erstellt wird, von den sportlern, in einem kreativen prozess.
… gegen die kein IOC etwas machen kann.
eben – aber warten wir noch die guidelines ab, die ja noch vom IOC folgen sollen, damit auch jeder sportler und jede sportlerin weiß, wo die sportstätte aufhört, in der man nicht politisch demonstrieren darf … und wo die freiheit der sportler dann mnal anfängt.
wir sind gespannt! – wann empfangen wir eigentlich den dalai lama, klau|s|ens?
u.a. entwickelte er Vorschläge, wie sich Sportler und Sportlerinnen in China 2008 würden protestierend verhalten können, ohne vom IOC mit Blick auf die Olympische Charta ausgeschlossen zu werden. Er nannte diese Dinge "FREE-TIBET-Accessoires".

A large and fine porcelain Moon Flask
Joseon dynasty (1392-1897), 16th/17th century
Sold for US$ 87,575 inc. premium
Fine Japanese and Korean Art

The circular vase with flattened sides, an upright neck ending in a rolled rim, and set on a raised oval-shaped foot, the surface covered in a transparent glaze showing a slight blue cast where it has pooled, the foot ring unglazed
With a wood tomobako storage box
9 7/8in (25cm) high
For other white porcelain moon flasks, see Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea, Korean Arts, vol. 2, Ceramics, Seoul, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea, 1961, cat. no. 98; Kungnip Chungang Pangmulgwan, Park Byong-rae suijib ijo doja/ Donated Pieces of Yi Porcelain from the Collection of Dr. Park Byong-rae, exhibition catalogue, National Museum of Korea, 1974, cat. no. 49; Rhee Byung-chang, Kankoku bijutsu shushu/ Masterpieces of Korean Art, Tokyo, Tokyo University Press, 1978, cat. no. 146; Jin Wianlong, ed., Ijo doja, baegjyayeon (Yi Porcelain, White Porcelain), 1979, cover image and cat. no. 14
For a similar undecorated white porcelain moon flask dated to the sixteenth century, compare an example in the Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka, acc. No.00153, http://jmapps.ne.jp/mocoor_e/det.html?data_id=1051
Undecorated Korean white porcelain vessels such as this have been eagerly collected both within and beyond East Asia for more than a century and have provided inspiration for artists as varied as British ceramist Bernard Leach, Korean painters including Kim Whanki, and many of the country's contemporary potters, contributing to global perceptions of the purity and minimalism of the traditional national aesthetic. Although a few white wares had been made earlier, their predominance dates from the late fifteenth century, when the royal court established a kiln complex at Gwangju that would operate for over four centuries as an official ceramic factory on the Chinese imperial model. The products of the bunwon kilns became so popular among the country's bureaucratic elite that similar wares were soon being made throughout the peninsula, precipitating a decline in the slip-inlaid buncheong ware that had been the ceramic of choice during the previous two centuries. Although the proliferation of production sites makes it difficult to assign the present flask to a specific location, its powerful, precise modeling, well-controlled glaze effects, and characteristic short neck and a low foot point to a date of manufacture not long after the classic example cited above.
Flasks of this type were typically made by throwing two near-identical dishes and then "luting" (joining) their rims with wet clay and applying a separately modeled mouth and foot. From the seventeenth century onward, decorated white wares were also in vogue, with lively, informal motifs such as those on the following lot, often painted in underglaze iron brown instead of the more costly cobalt blue.

Islam's double standard
The Pentagon has acknowledged five instances in which guards or interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility handled the Koran in a way that would offend some who believe it the revealed word of Allah. Three cases are said to have been deliberate and two unintentional.
Amnesty International has put the United States high on the list of countries it says are guilty of prisoner and human-rights abuses because of its treatment of suspected terrorists. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Richard Myers rebutted the notion of inappropriate treatment of detainees last weekend when he told Fox News Sunday these people would "slit our throats, our children's throats" if they were set free.
Islamic countries apply a double standard on treatment of "holy books" and people who differ in faith and practice from Islamic dogma. While Islamic groups in the United States are engaged in "sensitivity training" sessions for non-Muslims that have included federal workers, the Ohio National Guard and U.S. Air Force Academy, there are no such sessions for Muslims to teach them tolerance for non-Islamic faiths. Quite the contrary.
The least verbal or physical slight of any Muslim in America is immediately condemned by activist groups and sometimes the U.S. government. But the denigration of Jews and Christians throughout much of the Islamic world is theological and political business as usual. Jews are regularly referred to as "apes and pigs," mostly because that is what the Koran calls them.
According to the MEMRI-TV Monitor Project, which observes the way Jews, especially, are portrayed throughout the Middle East, a Jordanian produced program titled "Stories From Before the Verses Came Down" was aired in February on Saudi Iqra TV.
The soap opera included familiar anti-Semitic stuff, such as blaming ancient Jews for distorting their own Torah to make it seem Mohammed could not be the "true prophet" and having a Jewish character say, "We are the slayers of prophets, and we live off their blood. We live for destroying them."
According to a report authored by former CIA Director James Woolsey for Freedom House, the Saudi government has made it a practice to disseminate propaganda about Jews, Christians and America through mosques in the U.S. and through schools, many funded by the extremist Wahhabi Islamic sect.
The 89-page report titled, "Saudi publications on hate ideology fill American mosques," finds propaganda collected from U.S. mosques shows a "totalitarian ideology of hatred that can incite to violence." Such mosques, it says, are in the minority. But how many are needed to train terrorists who might attack the U.S. with biological, chemical or nuclear weapons?
Throughout much of the Islamic world, the practice of Christianity and Judaism is severely restricted, if not outlawed. The Freedom House report said Saudi publications "state that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews" and that, under Saudi law, Muslims who convert to any other faith "are to be put to death."
In a column four years ago, The Washington Post's Richard Cohen wrote: "The Arab world is the last bastion of unbridled, unashamed, unhidden and unbelievable anti-Semitism. Hitlerian myths get published in the popular press as incontrovertible truths. The Holocaust either gets minimized or denied…. How the Arab world will ever come to terms with Israel when Israelis are portrayed as the devil incarnate is hard to figure out." Little, if anything, has changed since he wrote those words.
Despite the Western diplomatic talk about Arabs and Palestinians living in peace with even a geographically reduced Israel, the Arab world demonstrates no intention of coming to terms with Israel or the Jewish (or Christian) people, unless it involves their complete subjugation to Islam or deaths.
The State Department acknowledged for the first time during the Clinton administration that Christians — from China, to the Sudan, to the Middle East — have become the most persecuted faith group in the world. Yet those persecutors are not pressured into the kind of sensitivity training Muslim groups in America demand at the slightest slight, whether actual, imagined or concocted.
Acceptance of this Islamic double standard creates a significant threat to the United States.

Brazil's Petrobras confirms it will ship crude to China storage facilities
Reuters May 29, 2019
RIO DE JANEIRO, May 29 (Reuters) - Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro SA confirmed late on Tuesday that the firm is shipping crude during June and July to China to more quickly respond to demand by local refiners.
Petrobras, as the company is widely known, has leased storage tanks in the port city of Qingdao, which will allow it to sell smaller quantities of crude promptly to the local market, the company told Reuters in an email.
It said initial shipments of Lula and Buzios crude were set to arrive in China at the end of June and beginning of July.
The company has been "intensively" working to gain share among China's independent refiners, known as teapots, it said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Reuters reported that Petrobras had chartered the very large crude carrier (VLCC) Maran Cleo https://af.reuters.com/article/commoditiesNews/idAFL4N2302N9, which is scheduled to arrive at Qingdao on June 24. The VLCC contains 2 million barrels of Lula crude, part of which has been sold while the rest will go into storage, Reuters reported.
The producer has another VLCC that will arrive between July 10 and 15 at Qingdao that contains about 1 million barrels of Buzios crude for storage. Buzios is a new medium-sweet grade that was first exported late last year.

When you consider the lives of several great men in the Bible, you would realise that they had a good working relationship with God. And it was evident in their lives for all to see.
Consider Abraham. The Bible says of Him in James 2:23 (NIV) that "And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend." Genesis 13:2 records that "Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold."
Also Consider David. The Bible also states in Acts 13:22 (NIV) that "After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.'" 1 Chronicle 22:14 shows how rich He was - "Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto."
This is a timeless truth and is applicable to every Christian that holds God to His word and walks closely with Him.
This prosperity also holds true for modern day Christians. Christians are called to greatness, but unfortunately many are conformed to mediocrity. Yes there will be troubles and times of tribulation in this life, but that doesn't negate the fact that God wants us to share in his wealth. His plan is for us to prosper and have good lives. It may not necessarily mean that we should be multi-millionaires but at least He wants us to pay our bills and be out of debt. He wants us to succeed and prosper. And not just for our own sake, but for the sake of those who are in our sphere of influence.
This is not about a certain amount of money that God wants to bless you with. But with a principle that God wants to bless you according to his abundant riches, just as he blessed those who followed him obediently in the scriptures. And that blessing includes wealth (The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. Proverbs 10:15, NIV).
God can never lie. His word is always true and He loves us. Get close to Him and enjoy the benefits of the covenant relationship with Him.

Q: Add Custom Template Html in Component Selector
Is there a way to add custom template html inside a component-selector?

I have a component AppToolbarComponent with selector <app-toolbar> which has a blank template. I would like to use this component on two different components, but with template defined while using the component. For example:
On page-one.component.html:
<app-toolbar>
    <button (click)="onClickOne()">Button in Component One</button>
</app-toolbar>

... and on page-two.component.html:
<app-toolbar>
    <button (click)="onClickTwo()">Button in Component Two</button>
</app-toolbar>

Any ideas?

A:
Based on the comment by @pixelbits, here is an answer:

In <app-toolbar>, add <ng-content> in the component template. Here is an example:

Some Content

<ng-content></ng-content>

Now, anything added inside the <app-toolbar> selector will be rendered inside the <ng-content>. For example:
<app-toolbar>

    <button (click)="onClickOne()">Button in Component One</button>
</app-toolbar>

Here is a link to StackBlitz Demo.


The results of the AbATE clinical trial to slow the progression of type 1 diabetes have been trickling out at conferences and talks for a while now, and so I was pleased to see the whole story finally published last month in Diabetes. The clinical trial, led by Dr. Kevan Herold, was designed to test whether two courses of treatment with a drug called teplizumab, spaced a year apart, were able to prevent the progression of type 1 diabetes in patients who were newly diagnosed.
Teplizumab is an anti-CD3 antibody– that is, a large protein that is able to bind to the CD3 receptor which is located on the outside of T cells. Binding to CD3 is necessary to pass activation signals into T cells, and thus what teplizumab is doing is activating T cells. This may seem counter-intuitive; after all, activated T cells are responsible for the destruction of beta cells that causes type 1 diabetes! Paradoxically, though, instead of resulting in widespread autoimmunity, the net effect of this activation is actually immunosuppression, perhaps because the widespread binding of CD3 without other corroborating immune signals results in the death of many T cells.
However, unlike other immunosuppressive drugs that have been used in clinical trials to treat type 1 diabetes, the main action of teplizumab does not seem to be simply silencing T cells. Instead, animal studies imply that teplizumab somehow induces the activation of regulatory T cells, a subpopulation of T cells that modulate the immune system, perhaps because of the chemicals that are released by T cells when CD3 is widely bound. The regulatory T cells, researchers hypothesize, are able to maintain stability in the pancreas even when teplizumab treatment is ended.
This presumed regulatory activity initiated by teplizumab would explain why teplizumab has proved more successful and promising than other immunosuppressive treatments. Other immunosuppressants like cyclosporin A or CTLA4-Ig have to be continuously given to patients to have lasting effects, resulting in constant immunosuppression and all its unacceptable side effects. Plus, these drugs have a diminishing effect over time; the immune system seems to find a way around direct suppression, and gradually the T cells attack the pancreas again. Mouse studies and previous human trials, however, showed that a single course of anti-CD3 treatment delayed the progression of the autoimmune destruction of beta cells for a year after treatment.
After a year or so, treated subjects caught up with the controls, but the initial success of a short treatment with anti-CD3 antibodies gave researches hope that progression of type 1 diabetes could be delayed. So the researchers began a new study, the AbATE clinical trial, this time with two courses of teplizumab, spaced one year apart.
In the AbATE trial, a total of 77 type 1 diabetics, diagnosed within 8 weeks of treatment, were enrolled and completed enough of treatment to be included in downstream analysis. Patients aged 8 – 30 were recruited, but, notably, the vast majority (94%) were under 18 years of age, with the average age being about 12.5. Of the 77, 52 received a 14-day course of teplizumab initially, and then a second course a year later. Only 40 of the 52 treated patients received the second treatment, with the remaining 12 either having no detectable C-peptide, a peptide that is produced simultaneously with insulin in beta cells, and therefore serves as a proxy for insulin production, or having other complications that prevented administration of the second treatment. Notably, the trial was randomized, but open-label, meaning the patients and the researchers knew who was in the treatment arm and who was in the control. Thus, the control arm did not receive a placebo treatment, but did receive the same intensive clinical support for blood glucose management throughout the two-year course of the trial. Both groups met with certified diabetes educators with the aim of maintaining an HbA1c below 7.5%.
The baseline characteristics (BMI, insulin use, autoantibody presence, HbA1c) of the treatment and control arms were well matched. It is worth noting, however, that after treatment, there were higher rates of adverse events among the treated group, as was expected. The most common adverse event was cytokine release syndrome, a common side effect of anti-CD3 treatment that results from immune signals that the activated T cells release. In cytokine release syndrome, the body essentially flares up, as if responding to a systemic infection, even though none exists. If it gets out of hand, this syndrome can be very severe and even lethal, but in the case of the AbATE trial, all reactions were transient, and passed after the completion of the teplizumab course.
Two years after treatment, teplizumab-treated patients had a 75% higher C-peptide level over four hours (indicating a higher function of beta cells) than the control group. Figure 2B from the paper shows this result, which translates to a remarkable 16–month delay in the decline of insulin production. Accordingly, even though HbA1c values after two years were not significantly different between the two groups, the treatment arm used less insulin to achieve this control, as shown in Figures 3A and 3B from the paper.
Left alone, these results are already extremely exciting. Even though treatment does not prevent diabetes, what diabetic wouldn't love an extra 16 months of honeymooning? And, more importantly, the fact that we can push back beta cell destruction a little bit opens up the possibility that with continued treatments or combination therapies, we might be able to extend that window of protection.
But the researchers didn't stop there. Though the treatment arm taken as a single group had a four-hour C-peptide that was 75% higher than the control arm overall, subsequent analysis of individual patient responses indicated that not all treated patients responded equally well to the treatment. The scientists therefore split the treatment group (after the trial was completed, in analysis only): they designated those patients who lost less than 40% of their baseline C-peptide after two years as "responders," and those patients who lost more than 40% as "non-responders." Importantly, these were not binary groups; the line at 40% is drawn somewhat arbitrarily, but nonetheless highlights a phenomenon seen in many clinical trials in which some patients respond much better than others, and allows the researchers to begin to figure out what might differentiate good responders from non-responders.
When divided in this manner, the results look even more intriguing. While non-responders as a group (~55% of the drug-treated arm) had declines in C-peptide over the course of the two year trial almost identical to the control arm, the responders (~45% of the drug-treated arm) actually regained some C-peptide at 18 months, and by 24 months, had lost only 6% of C-peptide as compared to their baseline. This is shown in Figure 4B from the paper, where we also see that after two years, responders had three times as much C-peptide as either non-responders or controls.
This post-hoc analysis of responders leaves many open questions; are these real differences, or just chance trends? If metabolic control really mattered, why did it matter? Were there genetic differences between responders and non-responders? Did responders also maintain tighter metabolic control after the trial, independent of the fact that they were responding better to treatment? Would the same trends hold true if participants were not children? However, given the data available, it is difficult to answer these questions at this time, and we may have to wait for subsequent trials to acquire more data. However, now that researchers have observed what seems to be responders and non-responders, they will be more prepared to test various hypotheses as to what differentiates the two groups.
In any case, the fact that the responders responded so well is thrilling. Two years of delay in the progression of type 1 diabetes! As a woman who eventually plans to have children, that's huge. And it opens up so many new questions– would continued teplizumab treatment extend that period? Would combining teplizumab treatment with other immunomodulatory agents help? If teplizumab is increasing the numbers of regulatory T cells, can this effect be augmented by low-dose IL-2 treatment , which would deliver an signaling molecule that may instruct these regulatory cells expand? How can we turn non-responders into responders?
All these questions will require further research and trials, both in animals and in humans. And that, of course, requires time. It is important to note, however, that researchers are making progress, incremental though it may be.
* This research project and others like it have a number of different funding sources, with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) often leading the charge. The NIH is in dire straits right now due to severe budget cuts and the sequester. As a result, many researchers are struggling to find funding to study type 1 diabetes or any number of other devastating diseases. Write to your representatives, and tell them how important you think medical funding, and especially diabetes research funding, is! There are many resources, including template letters out there- send your letter today!
* This is the most important thing I will say in this entire article: if you are a diabetic, or the relative of a diabetic, encourage your nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, and especially your children to start getting screened for type 1 diabetes susceptibility early. TrialNet runs a free national screening program for people with relatives with diabetes, and clinical trials like the one I have discussed here make it clear that there is a huge advantage to knowing you or your children are at risk earlier rather than later. It's no longer just a depressing but unavoidable factoid; we are reaching the point where knowing a patient is at risk means we can do something about it. So get screened! Get your children screened! Don't wait until it's too late!
* And, if you or your loved ones are at risk, ask about clinical trials you can be involved in. The JDRF is a great resource for looking up diabetes-related clinical trials. Part of what makes research take so long is that it takes a long time to recruit qualified patients for clinical trials. Do your part!

The Key to Solving Deadlocked Boards
New research finds that deadlocked boards lead to entrenched CEOs and argues in favor of director term limits.
Based on Research by
Giorgia Piacentino, Jason Roderick Donaldson, and Nadya Malenko
Leadership, The Workplace, Strategy
Stephen Chupaska
Finance professor Giorgia Piacentino's recently published article "Deadlock on the Board" explores the problems that arise for firms when boards disagree on how to proceed with company policy. According to Piacentino, there is significant nuance to the issue of board deadlock, as sometimes board members are indecisive even when there is agreement on a course of action. In this Q & A, Piacentino explains that when boards hit a deadlock, it can ultimately allow CEOs to become entrenched, and offers a new view on the role of shareholders in corporate governance.
What aspect of deadlock does your research focus on?
When people disagree about what policy is best—whether to launch a stimulus package, whether to raise the debt ceiling, whether to remove Civil War monuments—political deadlock can ensue.
Deadlock also arises in corporations, when boards of directors are tasked with doing the best thing for the firm. Naturally, if directors disagree about what the right thing to do is, then the board could struggle to do the right thing, or even define what that is.
But, strikingly, sometimes boards struggle to make decisions—they are deadlocked—even when directors agree on a course of action. For example, we show that a deadlocked board doesn't put in place a new CEO, even if all directors agree that having a new one is better than retaining the incumbent.
Uber was a salient example of this mechanism: in the summer of 2017 the board was so deadlocked that it stayed without a CEO for months, even though it seemed like everyone agreed that any alternative would have been better than no CEO at all! According to the New York Times, it was deadlock on the board that led one frontrunner for the job, Meg Whitman, to withdraw her name from consideration, saying, "It was becoming clear that the board was still too fractured to make progress on the issues that were important to me."
I wanted to understand how deadlock could arise without disagreement about what to do.
To do so, my coauthors, Jason Donaldson and Nadya Malenko, and I developed the first model of a group of heterogeneous directors making decisions dynamically. We found that even directors who don't disagree today can be deadlocked. The reason is that they anticipate that they could disagree in the future, and today's decisions can influence future ones. For example, keeping a bad CEO in place today could make it easier to put your preferred candidate in place if she comes along in the future.
What are some examples of CEO entrenchment? Why would directors keep a bad CEO in place?
I have some ideas about which CEOs are entrenched, but none I want to advertise lest they take revenge and I end up in a trench myself.
More seriously, there are different kinds of entrenchment. Often, we are concerned about entrenchment due to cronyism or corruption, some of which is discovered after the fact. But one of our main points is that entrenchment can be the result of something more innocent but not necessarily more benign: disagreement among the directors. It is trickier to identify examples of this kind of entrenchment in practice, because you can never be sure whether the CEO of a struggling firm is kept in place because they are entrenched or because they actually have a lot of potential, and the firm's underperformance was just unlucky.
But with models and data we can try to gauge whether entrenchment is a serious problem in aggregate, even absent definite examples. Indeed, only 2 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are fired on average every year, a number other research suggests would be an order of magnitude higher if no CEO were entrenched.
What are the differences in action between an "aligned" board and a "diverse" board? Is there a preference in the context of providing a firm the proper guidance?
There are a lot of ways to try to measure diversity. Maybe people think about diverse boards as being made up of people with different sexes, ethnic backgrounds, or institutional affiliations. But I think that these attributes are really just measurement proxies for what really matters: diversity of opinions and knowledge.
What is interesting is that we find that even an ideal form of diversity, which leads to a more informed or unbiased board, can be detrimental for shareholders. The reason is that sometimes it is better to agree on the wrong thing than not to agree at all. And an aligned board does exactly that, it agrees, sometimes on the wrong thing, but it is not deadlocked. Thus, there is a trade-off between the deadlock on a diverse board that can't decide what to do and the tyranny of an aligned board that decides purely in its own interest, which is not necessarily the shareholders'.
What does your study find about the role of the shareholder in board decisions, or in the composition of boards?
The classic theory of corporate governance is that shareholders should have the power to appoint directors, rather than directors actually doing the appointing for shareholders.
Although there are good reasons to maintain this view, we think our work could cast a shade of doubt on it. The reason is that deadlock can arise even when current directors do not disagree with each other, but just worry they will disagree with directors whom shareholders appoint in the future. Limiting shareholders' power to do this can alleviate their worry and thereby curb deadlock.
What are the policy ramifications of your research findings?
One theme in the corporate governance literature is that short-termism is bad. Our analysis suggests that there is a cost of long-termism because, as I touched on, the anticipation of disagreement in the future can generate deadlock today.
Thus, our analysis provides a new rationale for policies that limit director terms, which have been discussed in several countries.

Friday afternoons are blocked off for weekly congregational prayers - you know, just to truly maximize the inconvenience for working Muslims around the world. (Except in some Muslim countries. Their weekends are Friday-Saturday.


I created the design for the couple and it was extremely well-received. It was then that the Skyline collection was born. I began to realize that there are couples out there who might have their own special places or landmarks. I decided to expand my collection to range of landmarks and skylines that anyone could use to remember a special point in their lives.
I understood how easy it is to develop emotional ties to a place. Growing up, I lived in 7 different states and have my own memories and experiences that connect me to each place. I started out with some of my favorite cities, and soon my skyline portion was outselling my other prints on Etsy.
From there MykeCo was born and in January 2012 I launched my own personalize poster art website MykeCo.com. As MykeCo continues to grow, its goal will always remain the same.


Located in one of Newtownabbey's most sought after areas, Blackrock offers some of the finest homes in the city. With an unparalleled range of superb house types on offer, there is a home in this unique development for all those who recognise quality.

Parable of the Sower Chapter 7 Summary & Analysis
LitCharts assigns a color and icon to each theme in Parable of the Sower, which you can use to track the themes throughout the work.
The quote that begins Chapter 7 emphasizes that everything in the universe is "Godseed," and that "Earthseed is all that spreads Earthlife to new earths." In her diary, Lauren writes that she has finally found a name for her religion: Earthseed. The name comes to her as she is gardening; she thinks about the fact that seeds cannot move on their own, yet are still spread across the world, and that this is how plant species survive. She believes that one day a lot of people will be part of Earthseed, and they will have to "seed" themselves far away from Earth in order to survive.
This passage relates Earthseed to one of the most important symbols in the book: the acorn. Like acorns, seeds in general convey a sense of hope in the future. Life on Earth is characterized by death and destruction, and therefore Lauren is convinced that people must travel beyond Earth in order to embrace the possibility of growth and life.
Lauren doesn't believe that she has invented Earthseed; rather, it is something she has developed based on observation. She has encountered a paradox in the fact that the universe exists to shape God, and God exists to shape the universe. She says this feels like "the truest thing I've ever written." She has begun gathering all the notes she has made about God and Earthseed into a single book, and hopes that one day she will be able to teach other people based on these verses.
Although there are ways in which Lauren resembles a prophet of her new religion, she is careful to emphasize that—unlike prophets from existing religions—her ideas about Earthseed have not resulted from direct divine inspiration. Rather, they have arrived indirectly through Lauren's observations about the world and God. In this sense, Earthseed can be seen as a scientific religion rooted in nature.
Lauren has packed a survival pack for herself, including almost a thousand dollars in savings, which will be enough to feed her for two weeks or less. However, she knows that the price of food keeps rising. She wishes she could pack a gun and asks her father to let her keep one in her room, but he refuses. Lauren knows that her father worries about her brothers finding it, and concludes that he might be right to worry. She asks him where they would go if they were forced out of the neighborhood, and her father says that the college where he works has temporary accommodation they could stay in. They would then have to work on finding and rebuilding a new home. Lauren asks if he would ever leave voluntarily to go north, and he says no. In her Earthseed notebook Lauren writes: "A tree cannot grow in its parents' shadows."
Lauren still relies on her father for resources, guidance, and support. However, the gulf between their different worldviews is growing. Lauren's father remains deeply invested in the communities and institutions that have protected him and his family so far—namely, the gated neighborhood and college where he works. However, Lauren is convinced that these communities will not protect them for much longer, and that they must therefore prepare for change and survival in a new environment. Although she is still inexperienced, Lauren's youth allows her to focus on the future in a way that her father cannot.
Lauren listens to a radio report about an Anglo-Japanese moon station that has found planets orbiting other stars that could possibly bear life. She pays close attention to this kind of news, as she firmly believes that there is life on other planets. She thinks it might only be possible for humans to live on these other worlds if they had no connection back to the "parent world," Earth.
Lauren hopes that humanity will be able to move to new planets and survive, and interestingly connects this idea to a kind of "parent-child" relationship. Just as Lauren herself must break free from her father to live fully and find the truth, so these hypothetical new worlds can only thrive when severed from their "parent world" of Earth.

It is the day before her 16th birthday, and Lauren can't wait to be older. Tracy Dunn has disappeared; ever since Amy died, she has been talking about wanting to die, and now people believe that Tracy walked outside the neighborhood wall. Lauren's "birthday gift" to herself is a sentence of scripture: "The Destiny of Earthseed is to take root among the stars." At the moment, this destiny seems impossible, as President Donner and other leaders are dismantling their countries' space programs. Lauren doesn't know when or how, but is certain that Earthseed will get to "heaven" eventually.
Lauren is surrounded by hopelessness. This is shown both by Tracy Dunn's apparent suicide—her decision to walk beyond the neighborhood wall is understood to mean her death—and by President Donner's dismantling of the space program. The adults around Lauren have clearly lost their belief that the world could get better. Lauren, however, is convinced not only that another way of life is possible, but also that this way of life could even be akin to a kind of "heaven." Although it is not yet clear exactly what Lauren means by this, her belief in heaven combines religious ideas about a divine afterlife and the physical "heavens"—i.e. outer space.

Bethel looks special on teams
Posted by Darren Urban on August 7, 2012 – 8:27 am
Justin Bethel understood the goal. "Going in I knew I needed to play well on special teams," he said.
The rookie sixth-round draft pick knows he'd have a tough time making the team just as a safety. But he was a special-teams demon in college and showed it Sunday against the Saints. He whiffed on one of his early attempts but made an impressive tackle as a punt gunner — blowing past two blockers to bring down the return man just as he caught the ball — and the came off the edge, a la Patrick Peterson, to get a hand on a 54-yard field-goal attempt. At one point, he even told special teams coach Kevin Spencer he would block a punt too, if he had been given the chance.
On the blocked field goal, Bethel wasn't on the outside and tried to get a teammate to switch. He was turned down, but a timeout was called and Spencer made the move anyway. "I was like, 'I've got to go get it now,' " Bethel said. "I just wish I could have gotten it a little more so I could have tried to pick it up, but a block is a block."
Bethel's abilities create a lot of options for the Cards. Would his work mean it was less likely to keep special teams ace Michael Adams at cornerback, or might the Cards keep both and punch up what analyst Ron Wolfley likes to call the "transition game." It's Bethel's only option to the active roster, because it's hard to see him breaking into the safety rotation soon.
"I wanted to show up on special teams," Bethel said. "We have great safeties. Kerry (Rhodes), Adrian (Wilson), Rashad Johnson and James (Sanders). I know if I can make the team on special teams it will give me time to mature and learn, where they can trust me not only on special teams but defense, making the right calls and making the right plays."

Nice to see Bethel is a special teams gamer. He also looked better as a safety than I was expecting.

I don't know what Rashad Johnson has done to warrant his skill to be irreplacable. I have seen more out of Bethel in one game than I have seen since Rashad Johnson has been in AZ.
JMHO.
It would be a mistake to not keep Bethel on the 53.

I love the spirit Bethel shows (reminds me of another late round draft pick – LSH anyone?) and he backed it up on Sunday with his play on special teams. Hope we can find a place for him. Personally, I believe in the ones who have that drive and are willing to start on special teams and learn as they grow into pro athletes. Would hate to lose Mike Adams, he is another specail player for the Cards.
Other rookies looked good in the game as well.

Kudos to the scouts – Bethel looks like a keeper

He looks to be a potential menace!!! Great job by the young guys!! On a Kolb note: Let all the yapping cease at least until after the Raider game. Come on at least by then he's had a significant chance to show SOMETHING "we hope" or at least make some sort of improvements. Injury prone is a huge concern for this fan base I agree that it seems like one thing after another……….
By levi corrales on Aug 7, 2012 | Reply
this guy was a beast!!!showed alot of hustle and determination to make a play , i hope he makes the roster cause he would make a big impact on special team!
By Peter in Canada on Aug 7, 2012 | Reply
From his statements in this piece, Bethel certainly seems to have a wise head on his shoulders. A low draft pick is not going to get enough opportunities to beat out an established vet. Special teams is the diference between the 53 man squad and the practice squad. It also gives him the oppotunity to grow and escape being overtaken by future draft picks. Best of luck to you Justin.

Bethel shows ambition and drive while saying all the right things in the right way. Time will tell for all rookies, but how can you not "pull" for this guy?
By CodyZarr on Aug 7, 2012 | Reply
Rugbymuffin,
Just because you've not seen something incredible doesn't mean he's not a solid player. He has good instincts and is adequate in measurables.
He's been in the system for a long time. He's established and that also counts for something.
I agree that Bethel needs to make the 53, but not at the expense of a veteran safety.
Wow.. That was a lot of negatives in one sentence. >.<
By joe holst on Aug 7, 2012 | Reply
can they keep 10 or 11 dbs, possibly with only 6 defensive lineman… maybe trade one of those corners,much like they did with hightower last year.. i think money mike adams is in trouble.. go cards

The Cards have demonstrated better than most if not all other NFL teams in picking up talent from small schools. (Tolar,Skelton, Bethal, S Williams) Good scouting

I SURE HOPE TYSON GAY IS A GREAT PASS DEFENDER, BECAUSE THE GUY CANNOT TACKLE OR EVEN WORSE DOES NOT WANT TO.
By theuglitruth on Aug 8, 2012 | Reply
Move Bethel up the depth chart because he won't clear waivers. It's early, but he seems to be an impact player. I watched the game a second time last night….Quentin Groves was high on my radar against some scrub players. I'd like to see what he can do against the KC #1's. Sturdivant clearly on the outside looking in…he continues to "drag tackle" rather than drive guys back. He did a lot of that in college. Quan needs a mean streak to surface sooner rahter than later.

MIT's Trash Tracking Project
Flickr user basmati-authentic help
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are attaching tracking devices to pieces of garbage in Seattle and charting their journey through the global disposal and recycling system. I'll admit to being a bit jealous. Earlier this year, I too followed my trash, starting in my apartment in San Francisco (which recycles more than any other major city), and continuing through the city dump and beyond. I'd wanted to employ tracking devices but after consulting with everyone from a friend at Wired to device manufacturers in Taiwan, couldn't find anything sufficiently small and affordable. Indeed, the Times reports that MIT's plan to use battery-powered tags based on cell phone technology will cost more than $300,000:
Through the project, overseen by M.I.T.'s Senseable City Laboratory, 3,000 common pieces of garbage, mostly from Seattle, are to be tracked through the waste disposal system over the next three months. The researchers will display the routes in real time online and in exhibitions opening at the Architectural League of New York on Thursday and the Seattle Public Library on Saturday.
Interestingly, the $300,000 is coming from Waste Management, the nation's largest landfill company. When I followed my own trash to Waste Management's Altamont Landfill, the project had seemed novel the company's spokesperson. Most of my story focused on the recycling efforts of Waste Management's competitor, Recology, which handles garbage pickup and recycling in San Francisco (but dumps at Altamont). Could the MIT project be a way for Waste Management to co-opt the idea for its own PR purposes? Probably so. But it's also just plain cool, and I'm glad they're doing it.
