The Swallows' Flight
By Hilary McKay
"A triumph." —Philip Pullman, bestselling author of the His Dark Materials saga
Four young lives are forever changed at the dawn of World War II in this "stirring and unforgettable" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) novel from award-winning author Hilary McKay.
In England, Ruby has no friends because of the speckled blotches on her face that kids say look like dirt. And Kate is sickly all the time, her older siblings each taking turns looking after her. Ruby and Kate's first meeting is nearly disastrous, but the two lonely girls soon strike up a friendship. Their connection becomes all the more important when England joins the war against Germany and the blitz begins overhead.
In Germany, Erik and Hans are best friends filled with plans for their future: Erik taking over their beloved local zoo, and Hans serving pastries right outside the gates. They never expected to be forced to join the national service, training as pilots and tasked with hurting people.
And in London a mistreated dog roams the streets looking for handouts, and for a friend.
All of these lives will cross in the most surprising ways in this heartrending tale of war and compassion, and hope that can be found in even the most unexpected friendships, brought to life by award-winning author Hilary McKay.
Chapter One: Erik and Hans
ONE Erik and Hans Berlin, 1931
One summer, when he swas ten years old, Erik became famous for buying dead flies.
"Really!" said Hans, who was in the same class at school and had just moved into the apartment below. "You're always becoming famous for something embarrassing!"
"I know," admitted Erik, because it did seem a bit that way. The falling off the bridge on the school expedition to the river; his hospital for dolls—he'd fixed one small girl's doll and the news had got round, "Erik can mend dolls!" and suddenly he'd found himself with a bedroom full of prim china faces not necessarily attached to their bodies.
And now he was buying dead flies.
The reason Erik needed flies was a family of little birds. Their nest had fallen; the fragile shell of dry mud had crumbled and split from the wall and two fledglings had been lost, but three had survived. Erik's kleine Schwalben, his little swallows.
He'd tried finding enough flies for them alone, but without having wings himself, it seemed impossible. He'd taken a teaspoon to every rosebush within walking distance, scraping off greenfly. Both the baker and the butcher had asked him very forcefully to get out and mind his manners when he'd offered, as politely as he could, to remove the wildlife buzzing in their windows. He'd haunted the rubbish bins at the back of the apartment building. Even so, he couldn't manage to keep up with the little birds' hunger, and so he'd recruited his classmates. They naturally said they were not going to spend their spare time collecting flies for nothing, and demanded to be paid.
Erik had paid first in fruit drops, from the box he'd had for his birthday, and next with an assortment of rather chipped marbles, and after that with cigarette cards: scenes of old Berlin, Flags of the World, and his precious Exotic Birds and Animals. He had a few French cards too, mostly pictures of famous film-star girls.
"Girls!" said Hans, scornfully, when he came with his flies to trade. Hans had a sister named Lisa. She was one year younger than Hans, but she was taller than he was, and she bossed him about. Lisa had a hundred friends, or so it seemed to Hans. "I've enough girls at home."
"Well then, choose a flag," suggested Erik, "or an armadillo or a camel or something."
Hans said he didn't care about flags, and that the camel and the armadillo had unfriendly faces. In the end he chose a girl after all, one with great waves of hair, and a very small top hat tilted over one eye, not at all like his sister or any of her friends. In return he gave Erik an envelope full of bluebottles, mosquitoes, and other small flies. The mosquitoes were squashed and so no use, but the rest were all right. Erik, for about the tenth time that day, explained why squashed were no good, with all the juice wasted.
"You do know everybody is talking about you, don't you?" said Hans.
"Are they?"
"Saying you are crazy!"
"Oh, well, yes."
"What other cards do you have to trade?"
"I don't really, Hans," said Erik.
He did have an album of fairy-tale cards, collected for him by his mother, long before. He couldn't trade those, because she was still fond of them. Now and then, on winter evenings, she would turn the pages and murmur, "Yes, I remember," when she came to the seven swans, or the tin soldier, or whatever. Erik also hoped that he might keep his five Dogs of the World: the German shepherd, the husky, the St. Bernard with the little barrel on its collar, the English sheepdog with the smiling face, and the small French poodle. He had owned them for as long as he could remember, given them names and dreamed them stories. They were old friends, and yet…
He'd known these swallows since they were eggs: every summer a nest was built above his bedroom window; already the parent birds were building there again. And now Erik had these three.
He kept them in his bedroom, in a box by the open window, snuggled together in his winter hat, which would never be the same again. Hans came to watch his latest delivery of flies disappear.
"More than an hour's work gone in seconds," he remarked. "However do these ridiculous birds manage in the wild?"
"Easy," said Erik. "They can fly. What I really need is a butterfly net and a very small plane."
"What you need is my uncle Karl," said Hans.
"He can fly. And he's nuts, like you. I'll tell him about you, next time I see him. Have you given them names?"
Erik laughed and shook his head, so Hans named them on the spot: Cirrus, Nimbus, and Cumulus.
"Cumulus is the fat one," he said. "He's my favorite. I shall go and catch his supper right now."
After that, Hans stopped charging for his flies, and he was a great help to Erik because the little birds were constantly hungry. They were growing so fast that every few hours they seemed to change. Real colors replacing the down. Their pinfeathers coming through on their wings. All three of them stronger every day, stretching out a wing, jostling for the next beak-full of food.
"How did you learn to care for them?" asked Hans, and Erik explained that two years before, it had happened just the same, a nest had fallen and he had scooped up a nestling and fed it on baby food. Bread and milk. And it had died. He wouldn't make that mistake again, though, he said. Flies, that was what his swallows needed, from four in the morning until darkness at night, flies by the dozen, flies by the hundred, not caught in airy swoops around the rooftops like the parent swallows did, but delivered by a train of helpers with matchboxes, cocoa tins, or sometimes just clenched fists. Up and down the building stairs, driving the occupants mad.
"Wash your hands!" his mother ordered the children, with every new delivery, and sent them to the kitchen sink and made sure they did it properly. The soap wore out and people got so tired of washing they stood under the windows and yelled instead, "Erik! I brought more flies!"
"How much longer?" asked his mother, and Erik said perhaps a week or a little more.
"A week or a little more!" she groaned, and suggested egg yolk, minced sausage, and canary seed soaked in water. Erik shook his head. He dared not risk it.
"Well, well," said his mother. "I suppose you must do what you can."
Erik did, although it wasn't easy. To part with the German shepherd, who he'd named Otto, after his father, who had died before he was born. With dear brave Brandy, the St. Bernard, hero of so many imaginary snowbound adventures. Comet, the blue-eyed, curly-tailed, moonlight-colored husky. Tessa, the smiling sheepdog. "Take care of her," said Erik, as he handed Tessa to her new owner, and there was an aching beneath his ribs that was beginning to feel familiar even though he still had Belle, the little French poodle.
"She's pretty," said Lisa, who had come to see what all the fuss was about. "One day I will have a dog like that, with a pom-pom tail and a pink ribbon in her hair."
Lisa, although nearly always indignant or angry, was also pretty in a furious kind of way, and Erik gave her Belle, even though Hans disapproved.
"She got exactly what she wanted then," he grumbled, when Lisa, clutching Belle, had run away downstairs again.
"Good," said Erik.
On the fourteenth day after Erik found them, his three swallows flew from his open window, straight from his hand into a bird-filled apricot evening sky, joining dozens of others circling the roofs and eaves and skyways of the city.
Never, ever had Erik known such illuminated joy, such a lift of bliss that it felt as if he could have flown with them.
"Well," said Hans, who had come to say goodbye to Cumulus and the others. "That's three more birds in the sky."
"Yes," agreed Erik, hanging out of the window to watch. "Imagine being a swallow. Racing about like that!"
"You'd have to eat flies, though," pointed out Hans. "What do you think they taste like?"
"Pretzels and lobsters," said Erik, so matter-of-factly that Hans started shouting and flinging his arms about and exclaiming, "Erik? You didn't! Hey, tell me you didn't! You can't have! Are you crazy? Are you joking?" Then he stopped jumping about and came up close to look into Erik's face. "You are joking," he said. "Aren't you?"
Hans pushed his shoulder affectionately. Erik pushed him back. They both, at the same moment, realized how much they liked each other. Hans remembered how Erik had leaned over the bridge and leaned over the bridge and leaned over the bridge, and said, "Oh, dear," and vanished with hardly a splash. Erik remembered how quickly Hans had pulled off his jacket to wrap him up when they fished him out again.
"Nutter," said Hans, catching Erik in a casual headlock.
"Nutter yourself," said Erik, wriggling out backward and dumping Hans flat on the floor.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they did taste like pretzels and lobsters," said Hans, thinking about it, stretched out on his back. "Perhaps you're not so crazy after all. Perhaps one day you will be head keeper at the Berlin Zoo."
"Perhaps," said Erik hopefully, once more gazing out of the window. "Do you know, Hans, those little birds will go to Africa."
"Oh, here you go again!" said Hans. "Africa! I was wrong, you really are a nut.… Hey! Erik!"
Erik's brown curly head was suddenly nodding. He wobbled where he stood, leaning against the comfortable wooden window frame. Only four hours' sleep every night for two weeks and three insatiable babies all day, and now night was coming in over the rooftops.
Hans leaped and grabbed him just before he toppled out of the open window.
"Thank you, Hans," said Erik.

This month in the RL Webinar Series we welcomed Carrie Arrieta, Risk Manager at North Shore Medical Center. Carrie shared NMSC's journey to developing a workplace violence prevention program. The presentation sparked so much conversation, that we didn't have time to get to all of your questions during the live webinar Q&A. Here are the answers to all of your lingering questions about how NMSC built out their workplace violence program.
How did you decide what questions to include on your workplace safety survey? What are some of the questions you chose to include?
Carrie: We carried over questions from our 2012 survey and added a couple more. We felt it was important to get a temperature reading on how people feel about their safety at work and also ask open ended questions so we could get narrative feedback.
Some of the questions we ask are: Have you been injured as a result of workplace violence? Have you been injured by a patient in the workplace? Have you reported an assault or workplace violence situation?
You mentioned using visual cues to indicate a risk of violence outside patient rooms. What do these look like? And when they're in use, how do you explain to patients what they mean?
Carrie: We're still in the process of arriving at what these visual cues will look like, but currently we're proposing a solid-colored, neon square. We want something that will stand out, but at the same time something that won't catch too much attention.
As for how we explain the use of the cues to patients, we say something along the lines of, "This is our process is to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all patients, family, members and staff. We want to be sure that you/your family member gets the care and treatment you/they need without any harm to our staff."
We find that staff in our psychiatric center don't report many episodes of assault by patients, in part because the behavior has been normalized. Have you experienced challenges with something similar?
Carrie: Very much so! It's been a challenge getting staff to report. People say that it's just part of the job, it's not the patient's fault, the patient is sick, it takes too long to report, if I reported every incident I would be reporting all day long - the list goes on.
As we've gone through this journey we've been getting more reports about disruptive behavior - which is usually a precursor to violence - and that's really what we want to see, people reporting before it becomes escalated.
Could you speak to how you have worked to ensure that notes/alerts to the EMR are appropriately placed and monitored for clinical appropriateness?
Carrie: We only have one person that can place the alert and the plans at this time. I work in collaboration with nursing, psychiatry and security, and usually nursing drafts the safety plan.
Are you only searching high risk/mental health patients or all patients?
Would you mind telling us more about the ED sign that promotes commitment to a safe environment?
Carrie: Of course! The sign was the product of a lot of collaborative work between our departments - risk, security, marketing, etc.
The final wording on the sign is: "At NMSC our focus is great care. We must ensure a safe environment. Abusive language and behavior will not be tolerated. Thank you."
We also incorporate two photos, one of a nurse and a child and a photo of one of our special police officers with a female security guard.
Do you just collect data about incidents between non-staff and staff? Or do you also collect data on intimidating or disruptive behavior between staff?
Carrie: We collect both, it's really anything that gets reported in the RL form or through security. However, behavior between staff tends to be reported through HR.
How many security officers do you utilize in your ED?
Carrie: We have 3-4 on each shift for the whole house, so usually that means one in the ED. This is an ongoing challenge for us, given our patient population and our status as a safety net hospital.
Do you have a process for discharging your "frequent flyers" when they are not active in their care?
Carrie: We are required to see any person that arrives to our Emergency Department for a medical screening exam per EMTALA, but once they are screened they can either be discharged or admitted.
How does your organization approach the use of force and what level is appropriate?
Carrie: Our Police and Security Department is trained in and utilizes MOAB techniques. Our SSPOs have additional training.
Do you have a protocol to respond to negative comments or threats posted on social media by patients or family?
Carrie: Yes, we have a standard response where we invite them to contact our Patient and Family Relations Department.
Is the establishment of the high-risk patient criteria done at a centralized level or at the hospital level?
Carrie: The establishment of the criteria is done at the hospital level. However, Partners is our hospital network, and if Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) places a flag we can see it, but we can't remove their flag. Our NSMC flags will dictate the internal process, but because we can see the flags from other hospitals in the networks it provides an indicator to proceed with some level of caution.
Any final advice to other organizations on the journey to workplace violence prevention?
Carrie: Work in collaboration with the department leaders in it – risk, security, nursing. Support people and listen to them after each incident, I've learned so much from talking to the staff that are involved in them and that's helped guide us along the way.
All of our webinars are available on-demand on our resources page - and stay tuned for our upcoming webinar on closing the loop in peer review!
You have a great new patient safety and quality initiative you'd like to start at your organization – one you think could benefit many. What do you need to get started?
The patient safety and patient relations teams from Duke University Health System share their ongoing journey to bring departments together in the pursuit of the highest quality care.

Review: Korg Prologue
A polysynth with up to 16 voices and a sound all its own
GINO ROBAIR
When it comes to synths, Korg has really carved out its own niche in the past decade. The company seems to understand what musicians want; a playable synth with analog sound quality (and some digital features for convenience) that is affordable and fits particular musical concepts. For example, the lowest note on the Monologue is an E, which makes that mono-synth perfect for playing basslines in a band with guitars and basses (which have a low-E string). The Minilogue, on the other hand, is a 4-voice analog synth for the desktop with velocity-sensitive keys that is priced just under $500. And it sounds really great!
Consequently, many have already been predicting what Korg's next step would be in its "-logue" line. As usual, the company went further than expected.
With the Prologue, Korg didn't simply increase the voice count of a previous model: It added significant features that allow the instrument to create sounds its previous synths could not achieve. Even within the most basic patches, the Prologue's hybrid analog/digital architecture has a sound all its own that, surprisingly, leans as much towards aggressive timbres as it does mellow analog-like tones.
A couple of weeks ago, Korg sent us a Prologue for review, and here's what we found.
What's in a Voice
The dual-timbral Prologue is available in 8-voice ($1,499) and 16-voice ($1,999) versions, with 49 and 61 keys, respectively. (We tested an 8-voice model.) At its most basic level, the signal path for each voice sends three sound sources through a mixer, then through an analog VCF and VCA before hitting the effects and master output. Each voice also includes an LFO that can control the VCOs or VCF, and a pair of 4-stage envelope generators; one for controlling the VCOs and filter and the other for the VCA. (The LFO and EGs are digital).
Each voice includes two analog oscillators that utilize the same design as Korg's other "-logue" models. There are three wave shapes to choose from on each (saw, triangle, square), on octave switch, and knobs for setting the Pitch and for altering the waveforms. You can also introduce hard sync, ring modulation and cross modulation between the two oscillators.
In addition, each voice includes a digital oscillator, the Multi Engine, where you can select an FM-like VPM (variable phase modulation) waveform, one of three kinds of noise, or any sound you've added yourself—very cool. Another noteworthy aspect of the Multi Engine is that it can be placed before or after the filter. For example, you could setup a patch where the analog oscillators are filtered but the digital waveform is not.
The Prologue has four voice modes—Poly, Mono, Unison, and Chord—with two controls. Voice Mode Depth is used for determining the voice behavior. For example, in Chord mode it's used for selecting the chord type, whereas in Mono mode, you can set it so that low-octave sounds come in first. With the Voice Spread knob, you can determine where each voice appears in the stereo field based on the mode. My favorite is in Poly mode, where the voices are randomly panned as you play.
If you want to use two timbres simultaneously as you play, push the Sub On button. This mode divides the voice count in half between the two sounds, but now you can use the Main/Sub knob to crossfade between the two timbres, as well as setup layers and splits on the keyboard.
Oh, That OTA Filter
Much of the Prologue's character comes from its resonant, 2-pole (12dB/octave) OTA filter. It's a new circuit design that was chosen for its interesting timbral qualities, which the designer says is in some part due to nonlinearities in its feedback chain. In fact, the filter sounds particularly good on the Multi Engine oscillator. And, as you dial in resonance, the signal stays strong and perky throughout. A 3-position switch for keyboard tracking is provided.
The Prologue's filter includes two additional tone-shaping controls. The first is a switchable highpass filter with a cutoff frequency of roughly 500 Hz (6dB/octave). I found this to be useful for reducing the low-end when playing chords in a dense mix. The second is the analog drive circuit, which has three settings: off, 50%, 100%. This allows you to beef up the sound of each voice in your patch. And if that's not enough, the Prologue has a low-frequency compressor (with variable input gain) on the main output, which can be switched on to push the signal even harder.
At this point in the signal flow, the Prologue is already capable of creating an up-front, modern sound when you need it, though it can also be quite mellow.
Dual Digital Effects
Next, the Prologue sends its voices through a modulation effects block, followed by a Delay/Reverb effect. Rather than provide a single type for each effect as the Minilogue does with its delay, the Prologue gives you several options under each category. The chorus types include Stereo, Light, Deep, Triphase, Harmonic, Mono, Feedback, and Vibrato. Speed and Depth controls allow you to adjust the effect to taste.
The Delay and Reverb options include common programs such as Early Reflection, Room, Hall, and Arena, as well as effects with much more personality like Submarine, Horror, Space or Riser. The later ones add pitch and modulation to the effect to further enhance the rhythm and texture of what you're playing.
Speaking of rhythm, the Prologue includes a basic arpeggiator, and you can set it differently for either timbre when you've split the voices. You can tap in the tempo, set the range (from 1 to 4 octaves) and choose one of five types of arpeggio (order played, up, down, up/down, and random).
It doesn't take long to realize that the Prologue is a very simple and straightforward synth to program and play. The stuff you need for sound design or for setting up performance parameters is right there in front of you. And when you come up with something you want to save, the process is easy.
For me, this is at the heart of what Korg is trying to get across with the "-logue" part of its name: It's a reference (by way of the English spelling of analog) to the early days of synthesizers when every parameter was immediately at your fingertips. Now, of course, we have the ability to save and recall our settings, giving us instant access to whatever sounds we need for a gig. Oh, and we also have onboard digital effects, an arpeggiator, MIDI, USB, and all the modern conveniences we've come to expect in a performance-oriented keyboard.
Of course, the Prologue's name is also meant as a reference to the instrument's sound, which was described to me as "analog sound" with "digital assistance." Well, this synth does have a digital sound source, so there goes that bit of marketing.
Essentially, the Prologue a hybrid synth. And it's 2018, so that shouldn't surprise or bother anyone. (If it does, Korg has fully analog instruments to check out.)
However, the Prologue doesn't have all the bells and whistles you might imagine in a polysynth, but instead strikes a useful balance of features that are easy to reach and remember. And the instrument, overall, is relatively small, lightweight, and inexpensive for what you get.
But what the Prologue does have is a distinctive sound, which is what many of us look for in a synthesizer. The factory patches cover all the requisite instrument types and give you a good idea of the synth's capabilities. Its sound palette ranges from smooth to aggressive, making it suitable for old-school playing or use in modern genres.
Overall, the Prologue delivers what you would expect from this line of Korg synthesizers (and a number of things you didn't expect) in an instrument that is as fun to play as it is to hear.

Upstate New York Roommates Find $40K in Couch, Return Cash to Owner
The roommates got a $1,000 reward for returning the money
Published May 15, 2014 • Updated on May 15, 2014 at 10:21 pm
When a couple of roommates living in an upstate college town found more than $40,000 in a secondhand couch they bought from a thrift store, they decided to track down the money's rightful owner instead of keeping it for themselves, according to a student news blog.
The New Paltz roommates, Reese Werkhoven, Cally Guasti and Lara Russo, picked up the couch at a Salvation Army for $20. They didn't have it for long before Werkhoven found an envelope stuffed with $20 bills under a dingy arm rest, reports the Little Rebellion, a student-run news blog at SUNY New Paltz.
"I almost peed," he said. "The most money I'd ever found in a couch was like 50 cents."
The cash added up to $700, and the roommates started looking for more, tearing through the fold-out and sticking their hands in every crevice. They pulled out envelope after envelope filled with cash, the total eventually adding up to more than $40,000.

Werkhoven, a SUNY New Paltz student, and Guasti and Russo, both recent college grads, began to talk about what they'd do with the money. They planned to pay off student loans and take a trip. Werkhoven told the Little Rebellion he wanted to buy his mom a new car.
But when Russo found a woman's name on one of the envelopes, they told the blog, they stopped making plans.
"We all agreed that we had to bring the money back to whoever it belonged to," Russo said. "It's their money – we didn't earn it."
Werkhoven's mom found the woman's name and number in a phone book the next day, so they gave her a call. Werkhoven told the woman he thought he had bought her couch from the Salvation Army.
"Oh, I left a lot of money in that couch," she told him.
The students took the money over the elderly woman's house, and there she told them that she started stashing money from her husband in the fold-out more than 30 years ago. After he died, she kept hiding away money and slept on the fold-out.
When she had to go to rehabilitation after a back surgery, the woman told them, her daughter and son-in-law gave the couch to the Salvation Army not knowing what was hidden in between the cushions, and replaced it with a full-size bed.
"When we handed the money back to the woman, she told us that she felt like her husband was present in the room with us," Guasti told the Little Rebellion.
The woman then gave the three roommates $1,000 to split as a reward for returning the money.

There is an input field on the web page where I'm able to insert <script>alert(1)</script>. The web application sends the input back through AJAX response (json response). I can find my input reflected as it is on the web page but the javascript payload that I have given to test XSS does not execute. I've tested it in google chrome and IE.
I've checked the AJAX response and there is no output encoding present.
Although the header X-XSS-Protection:1; mode=block is present, I don't see any error in Google chrome console regarding blocking of unsafe script (we usually get this error if chrome blocks execution of unsafe javascript).
I checked the following url to see if angual-js does output encoding/escaping by-default. https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/security but don't get it fully.
When I inspect the element i.e my input(<script>alert(1)</script>), I get the following thing:
<textarea rows="3" ng-model="abc" maxlength="500" placeholder="xyz" ng-readonly="abcd>1" input-restrictor="" class="ng-pristine ng-valid ng-valid-maxlength ng-not-empty ng-touched" aria-multiline="true" aria-invalid="false" readonly="readonly"></textarea>

Any insight why my JS payload is not executing in the browser?

A: Finally I got the answer. AngularJS does output encoding before rendering the content.
our payload -
<script>alert('xss')</script>

becomes something like this as shown in image. Browser treats it as plain text instead of javascript and hence it does not execute.
You can see the output encoding only when you inspect the element and do right click and edit as HTML. I have also written a more detailed blog post here

Another day, another leak about the upcoming Nokia devices. For months we had no info coming out of HMD, but in the last few weeks we have more and more photos of announced devices appearing all over the internet.
The reliable OnLeaks, in cooperation with MySmartPrice.com, posted renders (based on factory CAD) of the alleged Nokia X7 or Nokia 7.1 or Nokia 7.1 Plus. We can see that the display of the device is notched and that the phone should feature dual ZEISS cameras, but I really don't know what name will this notched device carry. We earlier saw photos of the supposed display panel of Nokia X7 without notch, so we cannot be sure what device just got leaked on CAD-based renders.
Also, a plastic housing of an other Nokia phone appeared on Chinese Baidu forum (via Suomimobiili.fi). The backside in its shape and size looks like the backsides of Nokia X5/5.1 Plus and Nokia X6/6.1 Plus, but it's plastic and obviously not glossy. The backside shows a dual-camera setup, flash hole and a hole for fingerprint sensor. Considering the material used, this could be a device a level lower than Nokia X5, or in other words the Nokia X3 (or 3.1 Plus?).
As you see, the recently released photos and renders really made the situation around the upcoming Nokia phones complicated. In one way it is good that nothing is clear, because we have to wait until the next big launch event to know the truth. The next event where we could see new devices is scheduled for October 4th in London and Milano.
Nokia N9 like phone running KaiOS coming soon?

Like werewolves and vampires, bacteria have a weakness: silver. The precious metal has been used to fight infection for thousands of years ? Hippocrates first described its antimicrobial properties in 400 bc ? but how it works has been a mystery. Now, a team led by James Collins, a biomedical engineer at Boston University in Massachusetts, has described how silver can disrupt bacteria, and shown that the ancient treatment could help to deal with the thoroughly modern scourge of antibiotic resistance. The work is published today in Science Translational Medicine.
Collins and his team found that silver ? in the form of dissolved ions ? attacks bacterial cells in two main ways: it makes the cell membrane more permeable, and it interferes with the cell's metabolism, leading to the overproduction of reactive, and often toxic, oxygen compounds. Both mechanisms could potentially be harnessed to make today's antibiotics more effective against resistant bacteria, Collins says.
That disruption to the cell membrane also increased the effectiveness of vancomycin, a large-molecule antibiotic, on Gram-negative bacteria ? which have a protective outer coating. Gram-negative bacterial cells can often be impenetrable to antibiotics made of larger molecules.
"It's not so much a silver bullet; more a silver spoon to help the Gram-negative bacteria take their medicine," says Collins.
In the 1990s, for example, a heart valve made by St. Jude Medical, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, included parts covered with a silver coating called Silzone to fight infection. "It did a fine job of preventing infection," says Fowler. "The problem was that the silver was also toxic to heart tissue." As a result the valves often leaked.
Before adding silver to antibiotics, "we'll have to address the toxicity very carefully", says Fowler. Ingesting too much silver can also cause argyria, a condition in which the skin turns a blue-grey colour ? and the effect is permanent.
Collins says that he and his colleagues saw good results in mice using non-toxic amounts of silver. But, he adds, there are ways to reduce the risk even further. "We're also encouraging people to look at what features of silver caused the helpful effects, so they can look for non-toxic versions," he says.


While packing away my big heap of files with the greatest of satisfaction, one begins to reflect on the trials and tribulations, the humour and banter of the Inquiry rather than the painful grind, frustration and anxiety we have all experienced at some time in the run up to this day after such a long crusade.
For me this long journey began back in 1996 in the fight against SAAC for T12 in the Structure Plan. Then the first application was submitted in 1999 supported by an Environmental Statement compiled by Gibb when Ben Verrall first joined our small team, which was subsequently appealed in 2001. It was at this time I enlisted Peter Kember's help with the Development Plan Policies in submitting the second application, which proved successful and permission for the All-Weather Runway was granted by Wellingborough Council in 2002.
Then came the legal challenge mounted against that permission, which was when our barrister, Michael Druce and solicitor, Henry Abraham, came aboard for the High Court hearings. Unfortunately these ended when the Council rolled-over and gave-up before a defence had been heard, which resulted in the All-Weather Runway permission being overturned and lost. A bitter blow to us all at that time after what had already seemed an eternity to get that far to only fall because of WBC's incompetence.
But we got up again and set about compiling a new rock solid case based on Justice Sullivan's comments at the Substantive hearing in the High Court with the added encouragement from WBC that the resultant application would be dealt with favourably.
Peter Moore then joined the Team to deal with noise, the issue regarded as the most important, alongside Ben dealing with all other ES issues. This work was finally finished and submitted in March 2004. But then the officers of Wellingborough Council decided to distance themselves from the application and appointed a Consultant, RPS, to deal with the matter for them.
It soon became evident that WBC & RPS had been successfully nobbled/bullied/harassed by STARE as their attitudes turned hostile. This suited RPS as it became evident they were on a fee generation exercise. Due to the lack of response we decided to appeal for non determination in March 2005 and a fourth application was submitted at the same time. As Henry Abraham had taken a year out, Beverley Firth, Oliver Bussell and James Ward of Mills & Reeve joined the Team to provide legal backup.
The Runway Team - Peter Kember, Michael Bletsoe-Brown, Anthony Porten QC, Steve Dunsthorpe, Peter Moore, Michael Druce, Ben Verrall and James Ward.
While all this was going on STARE was causing Wellingborough Council major headaches over the earthworks on the Aerodrome harassing them into issuing an enforcement notice, which we subsequently appealed and won with costs awarded against the Council for acting unreasonably.
Then Kingston QC and Maroons were appointed by RPS. In response our barrister Michael Druce advised me their fire power had to be matched, which resulted in Anthony Porten QC joining our Team. Then as landscape and drainage became important issues, Phillip Russel-Vick and Steve Dunsthorpe joined up.
After the long time planning and thorough preparation in the run up to the Public Inquiry, all of a sudden we were there in what was a hot hell-hole with no air-con called the Council's Chamber. During that first week all the preparation and hard work started to hold us in good stead and made it possible for very quick and detailed responses as different issues were thrown at us. After the Council's barrister and STARE's barrister had failed in their attempts to damage our evidence, came our turn and I watched our QC, Anthony Porten, quietly disarm his quarry while our barrister, Michael Druce unleashed his sharp and deadly logic, both armed with the bullets and shells provided by our supporting Team members aimed at WBC's and STARE's evidence. Slowly we watched all their expert witnesses being destroyed one by one to lesser or greater degrees. In between our small number of supporters who gave evidence far out classed the large number of objectors, which unfortunately included an ex-aviation tenant who Michael Druce swiftly dispatched with such skill.
We will all remember many comical moments, mainly at "Stefi's" (STARE's barrister) expense, the discussions and briefings in the "War Room", (a lecture room in the Shackleton Hangar) and our entertaining evening dinners at the Aviator. The Team spirit was quite tremendous, even passionate, with everyone pulling their full weight, "far and beyond the call of duty".
It has been a great privilege for me to have been part of such a special Team. In my experience rarely does such a strong Team get together with such spirit, co-operation and unified effort, but when it does happen it is a very special experience and hopefully an unbeatable combination.
To an outsider this must be an unbelievable story and one that would expect to have seen our resolve wane along the way given the ever higher hurdles thrown in our way, but no, thankfully we seemed to get ever stronger. I firmly believe this appeal decision, whether we win or lose, will create a precedent for GA in the UK and have either good or bad implications for sometime to come. Perhaps this fact may have been part of the catalyst that has driven our Team. I have to add my admiration of the Inspector's ability to absorb information and the depth of his knowledge which I hope can only be to our benefit. We cannot count our chickens but we certainly gave it our best shot and regardless of the result I am very proud to have taken part with such able people. My most sincere thanks goes to every one of the Runway Team and everyone else who has supported and helped me personally and Sywell Aerodrome throughout this very important fight for not only Sywell but GA generally in the UK.

Are Face Shields More Effective Than Face Masks?

But what about airflow — and just how airtight are they?
"For any mask or fancy filter, one thing we need to keep in mind is how well they fit, tightly, to the face," said Chenyu Sun, an internist at Saint Joseph Hospital in Chicago who recently co-authored a study on face mask efficacy.
Dr. Sun said health care workers often get specially fitted for N95 masks, and the one-size-fits-all approach of retailers is troubling. So is the lack of guidance for proper use.
"Inside out, upside down, probably even less people know how to take masks off properly without contamination. This also applies to these devices," said Dr. Sun, who added that sporting doomsday gear may have unintended psychological consequences. "Will the general public really accept these? Now, even for regular masks, there is a lot of debate."
"People double-take, but I think Canada is very polite so nobody stares too long," said Mr. Al-Qasi, who wears the BioVyzr around downtown Toronto, where the company is based.
Raina MacIntyre, the head of the Kirby Institute's biosecurity research program at the University of New South Wales and the lead author on a recent face mask review, warns that if these masks don't "provide a perfect seal on all contact surfaces, unfiltered air will flow preferentially through the gaps. HEPA filters are good for filtering pathogens, but these devices need to be tested for fit and filtration."
She added: "The reason for needing a perfect seal is to force the air through the filter."
Real efficacy, she said, means approval by the F.D.A. and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the agency that regulates this form of powered air respirator. "The virus is present in aerosols, so such a device will not be protective."

Blackboard to buy another rival eLearning firm
Blackboard, the maker of software used by schools and colleges to manage online learning, said on May 6 that it expects to acquire another of its main competitors, Angel Learning of Indianapolis, reports the Washington Post. The Washington, D.C.-based company, whose eLearning software is ubiquitous on many university campuses, will pay about $95 million—$80 million in cash and $15 million in stock—for its rival, excluding transaction costs and including the cash it will acquire from privately held Angel. The deal is expected to close this month, Blackboard said. In an interview, Blackboard chief executive Michael L. Chasen said that combining the two companies, whose technologies are similar, will allow his firm to continue to grow quickly and improve its customer service and technology. Chasen said some staff cuts will be made where there are redundancies in the two companies, but no large layoffs are planned for the immediate future. Blackboard has expanded its core services in recent years. Last year, the company bought NTI Group for $182 million, adding technology that sends emergency alerts to school stakeholders…

Cornwall in Glastonbury
About the Yarn Base (Cornwall)
Sometimes you want a yarn that will do more – a yarn that can withstand epic battles with patterns, frogging, and cables. Cornwall is the yarn on which dream projects are built – it has amazing stitch definition, and the Bluefaced Leicester wool brings a durability Merino just can't provide. The superwash treatment makes this a great yarn for gift knitting, too, because even though it's strong, it's soft enough for most projects and easy care. (Note: Hand-dyed yarn should always be hand washed in cold water for best results.)
100% superwash BFL
About the Color (Glastonbury)
The deep green elements of this yarn are reminiscent of a magical isle, a place where history is made and magic runs rampant. Immerse yourself in its depths, ranging from clover to evergreen and many shades in between.
Glastonbury Tor holds a special place in the Arthurian legend as many believe it to be the site of Avalon. The Tor itself rises over the land and during the early Middle Ages, it was probably surrounded by marshland, making it a kind of isle. There was a monastery on the top of Glastonbury Tor and in the late twelfth century, the monks claim to have found the burial of a man and woman who were King Arthur and Guenevere. The green color of the yarn represents the gorgeous green landscape around the Tor.
Projects Made from Cornwall
Want to see what other people are making with their skeins of Avalon? Go to Ravelry and take a look: https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/round-table-yarns-cornwall/projects
The yarns from Round Table Yarns are dyed by hand in small dye lots so each skein receives special care and attention. Colorway names have been taken from the stories of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, and on the inside of each label, you can read the story of the inspiration behind the name (no story on Quest colors).

Q: ActiveRecord is showing wrong column defaults This is my first time using ActiveRecord in a non-rails application, and I'm running into a problem. ActiveRecord is able to figure out the columns I have in my sqlite3 database, but it can't figure out the default column values for some reason.
Here is the sql description for the table in question.
-- Describe ACCOUNTS
CREATE TABLE "accounts" (
    "id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL DEFAULT (0),
    "username" TEXT NOT NULL,
    "password_hash" BLOB NOT NULL,
    "creation_time" INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT(strftime('%s', 'now')),
    "expiration_time" INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT(strftime('%s', 'now') + 2592000)
)

I used the following code for loading my database file.
require 'active_record'
require './config.rb'

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  :adapter  => 'sqlite3',
  :database => DB_FILE
)

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
end

When I look at the column defaults for the Account table with a REPL, this is what I get:
[10] pry(main)> Account.column_defaults
=> {"id"=>0,
 "username"=>nil,
 "password_hash"=>nil,
 "creation_time"=>0,
 "expiration_time"=>0}

I worked with ActiveRecord for a rails app before and it was smart enough to figure out the default values. For some reason, it can't figure them out now.
Am I doing something wrong here? I read that I can manually specify the default value with default :id => bla, but shouldn't ActiveRecord be able to figure out the defaults?

Update: I think I figured out a workaround. The hash returned by Account.column_defaults is writeable, and changing those elements seems to work fine.

A: Try doing this:
class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_initialize :default_values

  private
    def default_values
      self.username ||= "default value"
      #etc...
    end
end

Ashley and Sam Santoscoy planned a bright bohemian desert wedding with cactus motifs and lots of handmade touches. The couple chose to host the festivities on the one-year anniversary of their courthouse "I dos" at the San Francisco Court House, inviting an intimate group of their closest family members and friends to celebrate with them. Wanting a low-key, casual fete, Ashley and Sam opted for a desert ceremony followed by tacos, prickly pear margaritas and dancing at Ghost Ranch. Ashley's brother officiated the ceremony, and the couple exchanged vows they'd written themselves in the center of a circular stone labyrinth set against a backdrop of a dusty-red butte. "Possibly the best part of our wedding was the fact that there was absolutely no cell phone coverage at our venue," Ashley says. "This meant that all of our guests were completely immersed in the experience. It's such a rare occurrence these days and, although it was not at all planned that way, it made our day that much more special." The reception was filled with vibrant DIY décor, which Ashley handcrafted herself. Colorful Mexican fans and strands of papel picado traced the venue's rafters and walls, and woven runners and hand-painted crystal sugar skulls perked up the dining tables. Instead of traditional floral centerpieces, Ashley and Sam lined the tabletops with succulents and small cacti potted in miniature mason jars. Bearing a fondant cactus, fresh berries and a wood cake topper, the cake borrowed from the event's bohemian desert theme. Ashley even made her own wedding dress, transforming a traditional Mexican tunic into a desert-chic stunner with turquoise fabric and crocheted lace. "Your wedding day is just a second in comparison to the lifetime you'll be spending together, so make it fun, make it memorable and try not to take yourselves too seriously," Ashley says.

chlorine boiling point
The periodic table contains eleven elements which are in the gas phase under standard conditions, namely hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and the six noble gases.Of these elements, chlorine has the highest boiling point of -34.0 C (239.1 K, -29.3 F). Only about 5×10−8% of all matter in the universe is europium. The chemical symbol for Tellurium is Te. The chemical symbol for Titanium is Ti. Bromine is the third-lightest halogen, and is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly coloured gas. Aluminium is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal in the boron group. Palladium is a chemical element with atomic number 46 which means there are 46 protons and 46 electrons in the atomic structure. F Chlorine is a member of Group 7, the halogens, which consists of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. The chemical symbol for Silicon is Si. Cerium is a soft, ductile and silvery-white metal that tarnishes when exposed to air, and it is soft enough to be cut with a knife. Uranium is weakly radioactive because all isotopes of uranium are unstable, with half-lives varying between 159,200 years and 4.5 billion years. Yttrium is a chemical element with atomic number 39 which means there are 39 protons and 39 electrons in the atomic structure. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Silicon is a chemical element with atomic number 14 which means there are 14 protons and 14 electrons in the atomic structure. Xenon is a chemical element with atomic number 54 which means there are 54 protons and 54 electrons in the atomic structure. Discoverer: Marinsky, Jacob A. and Coryell, Charles D. and Glendenin, Lawerence. When considered as the temperature of the reverse change from vapor to liquid, it is referred to as the condensation point. Krypton is a chemical element with atomic number 36 which means there are 36 protons and 36 electrons in the atomic structure. Argon is mostly used as an inert shielding gas in welding and other high-temperature industrial processes where ordinarily unreactive substances become reactive; for example, an argon atmosphere is used in graphite electric furnaces to prevent the graphite from burning. Curium is a hard, dense, silvery metal with a relatively high melting point and boiling point for an actinide. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element. Its monatomic form (H) is the most abundant chemical substance in the Universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass. Like the other metals of the platinum group, ruthenium is inert to most other chemicals. The chemical symbol for Chromium is Cr. The chemical symbol for Indium is In. Pure germanium is a semiconductor with an appearance similar to elemental silicon. Because of its high chemical reactivity, barium is never found in nature as a free element. On the other hand, chlorine dioxide is an inorganic compound having the chemical formula ClO 2. Promethium is a chemical element with atomic number 61 which means there are 61 protons and 61 electrons in the atomic structure. The chemical symbol for Rhenium is Re. Erbium is a silvery-white solid metal when artificially isolated, natural erbium is always found in chemical combination with other elements. Cerium is the second element in the lanthanide series. Atomic Weight: 35.4527. The chemical symbol for Samarium is Sm. Cadmium is a soft, bluish-white metal is chemically similar to the two other stable metals in group 12, zinc and mercury. 113Cd has specific absorption cross-section. Liquid nitrogen (made by distilling liquid air) boils at 77.4 kelvins (−195.8°C) and is used as a coolant. Chlorine is intermediate in reactivity between fluorine and bromine, and is one of the most reactive elements. The chemical symbol for Tungsten is W. Tungsten is a rare metal found naturally on Earth almost exclusively in chemical compounds. The chemical symbol for Manganese is Mn. Note that, these points are associated with the standard atmospheric pressure. Between actinium and lawrencium in the atomic structure tungstenâ is a chemical element with atomic number 17 means...

Joseph Clark was born on 4th of July 1834 at Cerne Abbas, Dorset the son of a draper. He moved to London and studied at the Heatherley School of Art, before attending the Royal Academy School. He started exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1857-1904. He also exhibited at the British Institution, Royal Society of British Artists, Suffolk Street, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and New Watercolour Society as well provincial galleries.
By 1861, Clark had become an established artist and kept a house in Islington and Dorset. He later moved to Hampstead to accommodate his growing family. In addition to becoming a highly sought after artist, he achieved success abroad winning a medal and award at Philadelphia in 1876 for two paintings that he had sent over for an exhibition. He was also elected as a member to the Royal Institute of Painters in Oil Colours. Many of his works are of domestic interiors usually including children and he often used members of his family as models. By 1901, Clark had moved to Harrow-on-the-Hill and in his later years relocated to the Kent coast. He died in 1926 in Ramsgate on his birthday.
Examples of his work can be found in public collections including Maidstone Museum, Newport Museum, Sunderland Museum, Sheffield Museum, the Tate and the V&A. Museum, Sunderland Museum, Sheffield Museum, the Tate and the V&A.

Kits Pool Stays Open for An Extra Week
September 2, 2016 by News Feed
For Vancouverites who haven't had enough of summer, the Vancouver Park Board is keeping Kitsilano Pool open an extra week.
The city's busiest outdoor public pool will remain open 7 am to 7 pm until Sunday, September 18. The Kits Pool season was extended last year, too.
"Demand for swimming is on the rise due to changing demographic trends and Kits Pool, with its phenomenal views, is always a favourite summer destination for visitors and residents alike," said Vancouver Park Board Chair Sarah Kirby-Yung.
Kits Pool, which opened in 1931, overlooks English Bay with views of the North Shore mountains. It has the longest salt water pool in North America, with swimming lanes that stretch for 137 metres. The length of the pool attracts many serious swimmers, including triathletes who use it as a training facility.
Outdoor pools at Second Beach in Stanley Park, New Brighton Park and Maple Grove Park will close as scheduled after the Labour Day weekend. The outdoor pool at Hillcrest Centre will close in mid-September.
While lifeguards will, of course, be on duty at Kits Pool they will no longer be supervising the Park Board's 11 beaches. Those beaches are supervised from Victoria Day through to Labour Day.
Expansion of outdoor swimming options is a Park Board priority and supports VanSplash, its most comprehensive review of aquatic facilities and services in 15 years. The strategy is reviewing existing pools and beaches and looking at ways to renew or replace aging aquatic facilities through the lens of city-wide equity and service gaps.

Take a look at these 8 words below. Which one is the best quality to have in a romantic relationship?
Truthfully, cultivating all 8 of the Self qualities is important for inner and outer harmony. Curiosity is important because it sets us off in search of more information which can help un-stick us in our lives and our relationships.
The exercise I previously described as 10 new dance steps for better communicating involved a lot of curiosity in relation to understanding patterns. But sometimes you have a sprained heart and you can't dance! That's when you should apply RICE.
You can apply all of that curious inquiry to your relationship as well. Let's work through an example.
Dirty Socks, the Great Marriage Saver?
Pretend you're married to someone who leaves his dirty socks on the floor, and you just happen to be someone who can't stand dirty socks being left on the floor.
Those are two very different questions. The first question points outward, putting the focus on your partner and intentionally or no, blame on your partner.
The second question points inward, and this is actually very empowering. Suddenly the dirty socks are not happening to you or at you. Instead the dirty socks become a trigger for Self-exploration.
At this point you can ask yourself about your own version of the dirty socks.
Why does it bother me when my partner does this?
What is the hurt in me that makes this so upsetting? What happened?
I notice that when my partner does this, I get angry and I go out and confront them. Then we have an argument and I am distant and cold after. How is this helping me to respond the way that I do? You might be surprised to see how you are helping yourself from getting emotionally hurt.
When in the past did I feel this way?
These are just a few of the curious questions you can ask yourself.
Journal your responses. What do you learn about yourself in your relationship?
Do you feel differently after this exercise? You may notice that you feel more closeness and deeper connection with your partner.
As we learned from Toni this week, we have better relationships with others when we have better relationships with ourselves.
Download this guided meditation to get to know a loud or triggered part within you. It's great practice for getting curious!
