Geochemical analyses of rock samples collected from the Dora Bay peralkaline igneous complex, Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska
View Data Release
This data release presents the major and trace element chemistry of rock samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from surface exposures of the Dora Bay igneous complex (DBIC), located in the southern part of Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska. The DBIC is Early Jurassic in age (Bala and others, 2014) and is U-Th-heavy rare earth element (HREE)-enriched like the Bokan Mountain intrusive complex 30 km to the south (Philpotts and others 1998; Dostal and others, 2011; Taylor and others, 2016; 2017). However, the DBIC is significantly less-well-mineralized and is under-explored due to complicated private land status issues. HREE-enriched eudialyte-bearing pegmatites and felsic dikes have been discovered in numerous places within and along the margins of the pluton and extending up to 1 km into the country rocks as well as molybdenite and iron oxide mineral occurrences at its margins (Barker and Mardock, 1990; Philpotts and others, 1993; Taylor and others, 2014). Uncertainty of global REE supply and the subsequent spike in prices in 2008 resulted in renewed exploration at the DBIC by Avalon in 2010 and Sealaska Native Corporation in 2014-2015 (Buckley and Taylor, 2014). The DBIC was included in recent studies by the USGS Mineral Resources Program as part of an effort to understand the distribution of REE resources in the United States. This data release provides the analytical results of 54 rock samples collected by the authors during a site visit to the DBIC in June-July 2015. The samples represent transects along the major exposed ridgelines and outcrops within the complex. They provide a measure of the REE abundances and their variation throughout the complex as well as material for detailed isotopic and mineral chemistry studies. The samples were analyzed for 60 major and trace elements by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)after a sodium fusion digestion and for major elements using wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF). This data set is provided for future use in geologic, exploration, and environmental background studies of the DBIC.

Sept. 25 (UPI) — Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is home to dust storms. According to newly analyzed Cassini data, a large dust storm swirled across the moon's equator.
Scientists have previously documented geologic activity on Titan, as well as detailed the moon's dynamic hydrocarbon cycle. The latest observations — detailed this week in the journal Nature Geoscience — suggest Titan is also home to a dust cycle.
"Titan is a very active moon," Sebastien Rodriguez, an astronomer at Paris Diderot University, said in a news release.
Like Earth, Titan boasts a substantial atmosphere. The moon's surface is also home to sizable liquid bodies. But Titan's rivers and lakes are filled with liquid ethane, not water.
The moon's hydrocarbon fuels discernible weather patterns. The liquid hydrocarbon evaporates, forms clouds and returns as precipitation. Scientists have previously documented powerful methane storms near Titan's equator.
Chemical analysis confirmed the observed particles were atmospheric, hovering just above Titan's surface. Because the clouds were observed above the moon's dune fields, scientists hypothesized the cloud system comprised a dust storm.
Organic dust particles form from interactions between methane and sunlight. The dust is deposited in dunes near the equator, which are shaped by Titan's weather patterns. The latest findings suggest the moon hosts winds strong enough to propel large amounts of dust into the atmosphere.
It's not the first time scientists have observed dust activity on Titan.


Flight radar image showing Delta flight 302 heading back to New York.
A Delta Air Lines flight from New York's JFK airport managed to fly into San Juan, Puerto Rico, pull into the gate, and less than an hour later take off full of passengers — all while Hurricane Irma was bearing down on the island Wednesday.
Delta flight status data show Flight 431 left JFK at 8:12 a.m. and arrived in San Juan at 12:01 p.m.; Delta 302 left San Juan at 12:41 p.m. and arrived in New York at 4:22 p.m.
Radar data of the plane's flight path offered a spectacular show for aviation enthusiasts who followed in real time as Delta Flight 431 headed south right into the dangerous storm before noon.
"Where others have turned back, Delta #DL431 presses on," tweeted the Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic in real time. According to the tracking data, the plane landed at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport at 11:58 a.m. and departed at 12:43 p.m. as DL302.
Delta officials said the airline operated its last scheduled flight to and from San Juan "armed with the latest forecast from the airline's meteorology team." Flight 431 arrived a minute after noon to nine miles of visibility and light rain, the airline said. Winds were well below operating limits for the 737-900ER to safely operate at around 28 mph, and gusts up to 36 mph. Flight 302 departed San Juan with 173 passengers on board, the airline said.
The conditions worsened soon after departure. Heavy rain and historic winds lashed Puerto Rico's northeast coast Wednesday as Irma roared through the Caribbean on its way to Florida. The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang reported gust of 62 miles per hour in San Juan late Wednesday afternoon and in Culebra, Puerto Rico, a small island 17 miles east of the mainland, a wind gust registered 111 miles per hour.
The flight was the last one in and out of San Juan, before the air traffic control ceased operations.


A well-wooded property just 60 miles east of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro ready to build your dream home or be used for recreation. Either way, this is a unique find! Twenty-year-old pine and hardwood timber have been placed in the CRP program and give a nice return to the owner. Approximately 35 acres of tillable land is currently in corn. I found two permanent box blinds on the property and a nice grassy swale with a water hole. The owner says once the first shot goes off the deer flock to this haven. I am looking forward to showing you this property so give me a call and we can discuss!

Outback Steakhouse Hostess Interview Video
Outback Steakhouse Hostess: My job title was a hostess, and my primary duties were opening the doors for guests, greeting guests at the hostess stand, walking them to their tables. We had a computer system, so it was marking tables off at the computer system. And we also wrapped silverware.
Outback Steakhouse Hostess: the work environment was very fast-paced on the weekends. During the week, it could be slow, especially around dinner time, so I would say fast-paced for the most part.
Outback Steakhouse Hostess: My favorite part about working there would be getting to know customers and getting to talk to customers, because a lot of regulars came in so you got to learn their names, they know your name. It's very nice getting to connect with them.
Outback Steakhouse Hostess: Typical day would be to come in, walk in the kitchen, clock in on the computer, go to the hostess stand, and most of the time if it's not busy, you're standing at the door waiting for customers to come in. But if it was a Saturday or a Friday, basically we would be on a wait every time I came in, so I would start running the board, checking the tables to see if they're clean, and start seating.
Outback Steakhouse Hostess: The application… all you had to do, I went into Outback in the morning, because they didn't open until two. So, you go in, you fill out an application, you had to take a math test, as well, even though I wasn't going to be a server, you still had to take a math test and personality test. Then, a week later they called me back in for an interview, and I actually started the next day. You actually trained for four days, then you're off training, you can get tips, regular tips.
Outback Steakhouse Hostess: I think what set me apart, because I was only 15 when I started there. I stopped working there when I was 19. I think that even though I was so young, I was really mature and friendly, and it seemed like I had a good personality and would be a dependable worker.
Outback Steakhouse Hostess: I would say be able to make sure you can work in a fast-paced environment, and be efficient, because you have to walk fast around a restaurant, you can't be slow because servers are trying to get through. So, make sure you're able to function in a fast-paced environment and you like people.
Outback Steakhouse Host Interview Video 2
Outback Hostess: My job title was a hostess, and my primary duties were opening doors for guests, seating guests, making sure the silverware was polished and rolled each night. The hostess would also work the board, which is like the seating chart for the guests when we were on waits on the weekends, or weeknights after like 8pm.
Outback Hostess: I got hired because I just randomly walked in one day and asked if they were hiring. They told me yes, and they gave me an application right there. I filled it out, they called me two days later. I had to take a math test, just because they require our position to take that, especially for servers. I took a little test, then later I had to come in again for a final interview, and then they told me I was hired right after that.
Outback Hostess: They asked if I've ever been in the food business or restaurant business before. They asked about my personality a lot. Like if I was outgoing, quite, reserved, stuff like that. They asked education levels. Did I have reliable transportation to work, and stuff like that.
Outback Hostess: I would tell them to just make sure, basically just be yourself and make sure you're a fun person and are ready to work in a fast-paced environment, because if you're shy, or you're not really quick, you don't like to work well under pressure, then it may not be for you, because it's a lot of running around, and its fast-paced. Very fast paced. I would just tell them be bubbly, outgoing, and ready to work hard.

Outback Job Interview
Hi, the interview video was great, but I noticed that y'all put the hourly salary was $10-14an hour for hosts? At my restaurant we earned a whopping $2.14 per hour plus tip share!! You would leave with $20-80 in tips a night depending on the hours you worked, how busy it was, and how many hosts there were to split the tip share with. Sorry but you can't really make a living by being a host, you'll need a 2nd job to pay the bills.

A bestseller of the Renaissance period, Baldassarre Castiglione's Book of the Courtier and its subsequent English translation by Thomas Hoby treat the subject of the Court Lady, cultivate a female readership, and claim to have been written and published due to the intervention of ladies. However, the introductory materials written by the authors render the role of the Court Lady to be divergent and unclear; an ideal that is impossible to achieve, much like the ideal of the Courtier himself. As the Courtier is ultimately a vassal of the Prince, and as he intends to gain power by persuasion, so too do the books have an interconnected power relationship with the women behind their respective publications. Through this feminine grounding—that is, the yielding of accountability for the works—both Castiglione and Hoby are able to appeal to Ladies and instruct them within the bodies of their books, simultaneously affording them power and tempering it. By implicit suggestion leading to action and the mix of inflated commendation and ever-so-slight disparagement, Castiglione and Hoby are able to convey a complicated relationship between two disenfranchised groups trying to mitigate authority for themselves by both granting and withdrawing power from the other.

Q: Catching exit codes from submodules in python I have a function that allows me to run az cli commands from within python. However, whenever I get a non-zero exit code, the entire process is being shut down, including my python job. This happens for instance when I try to look up a user that does not exist.
I tried to wrap the function call with a try-except block, but it does not work, the job still exits on its own. How can I catch exit-code 3 (missing resource according to the documentation) and continue after trying to run the az-cli command?
import os
from azure.cli.core import get_default_cli

def az_cli(args_str):
    args = args_str.split()
    cli = get_default_cli()
    exit_code = cli.invoke(args, out_file=open(os.devnull, 'w'))
    print("exit_code", exit_code)
    if cli.result.result:
        return cli.result.result
    elif cli.result.error:
        return cli.result.error
    return True

try:
    user_id = "some-id-129-x1201-312"
    response = az_cli(f"ad user show --id {user_id}")
    print("response", response)
except Exception as e:
    print(e.args)

A: Found the solution - when catching SystemExit specifically, we can catch the exit and handle it accordingly. From on the documentation:

sys.exit([arg])
Exit from Python. This is implemented by raising the SystemExit exception, so cleanup actions specified by finally clauses of try statements are honored, and it is possible to intercept the exit attempt at an outer level.

try:
    response = az_cli(f"ad user show --id {id}")
    print("response", response)
except SystemExit as e:
    print(e.args)
    print(e.code)

Meet your local guide outside the Ambrosian Library (Pinacoteca Ambrosiana) in central Milan. Receive a headset to help you best hear the commentary and then head inside to see the Atlantic Codex, the largest collection of Leonardo da Vinci drawings in the world. Follow your guide through the temporary exhibition and hear how this 12-volume bound set of scientific drawings and writings, comprised between 1478 and 1519, was written in mirror image — right to left and backwards.
After marveling at the Atlantic Codex, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the city center to the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Enjoy a guided tour of the UNESCO-listed church and Dominican convent and then perhaps refuel with a drink and a light snack (own expense) in the square outside the church.
Then, walk together with your guide to the convent's refectory where The Last Supper is housed. Bypass the crowds with your skip-the-line ticket and enter the intimate room with your guide — only one group at a time is allowed to stand with the painting. Get up close to this world-famous mural that depicts the moment Jesus announced that one of his 12 disciples would betray him. Admire the exquisite colors and details and hear about the painstaking 21-year restoration that is has recently undergone.
After your time is up (15 minutes is the maximum amount of time anyone is allowed to stay in the specially conditioned room), head to the souvenir shop where your tour concludes. Here, take the opportunity to purchase gifts for yourself, your friends or your family. Alternatively, ask your guide for directions to anywhere else you want to go.

U.S. women's soccer team eyes gold past Brazil
BEIJING – Angela Hucles scored a goal in each half Monday to lead the United States to a 4-2 win over Japan and another Olympic final against Brazil.
It will be the fourth straight Olympic final for the U.S., which beat Brazil, 2-1, in extra time four years ago in Athens.
The Americans have played in the Olympic gold medal match every time since women's soccer debuted at the 1996 Atlanta Games, missing the title only in 2000 in Sydney after a loss to Norway.
The United States had to rally from an early deficit Monday after Japan's Shinobu Ohno opened the scoring in the 16th minute. But Hucles netted the equalizer from the 6-meter line in the 41st minute and Lori Chalupny put the Americans ahead three minutes later after beating two defenders.
Heather O'Reilly added to the lead with a long-range shot in the 70th minute, and Hucles closed the scoring for the U.S. in the 80th with a crossing shot that caught Japan goalkeeper Miho Fukumoto by surprise.
Japan's Eriko Arakawa scored in second-half injury time.
"We were focused on getting that first goal, on getting one at a time," Chalupny said. "We were never nervous. It felt like we were getting opportunities and we were going to get a chance to come back."
The teams played an open match in front of more than 50,000 fans at the Workers' Stadium, with both sides creating several scoring chances from the beginning.
Japan was the first to take advantage of its opportunities, however, and Ohno opened the scoring from close range. Ohno was by herself in front of the goal when she collected a crossing shot by defender Yukari Kinga and easily hit the net past U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo.
The U.S. had a hard time trying to penetrate the Japanese defense after the goal, but Hucles and Chalupny dug the Americans out of the hole with their goals three minutes apart just before halftime.
Hucles scored after a low cross by O'Reilly from the right side, and Chalupny scored after getting past two defenders just inside the penalty area and firing a right-footed shot into the left-upper corner of the net.
Japan tried to control possession and get back in the match, but the U.S. kept threatening on counterattacks and had several good chances to increase the lead.
O'Reilly capitalized on one of the chances with a long-range, left-footed shot from near the sideline. Her rainbow shot went over Fukumoto and found the far corner of the goal.
Hucles' second goal came from just inside the penalty area on the right side. She struck the top of the net as Fukumoto apparently expected a cross into the area.
"Coming back from 1-0 was about the team," U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. "Scoring different goals from different places makes a difference."
It was the second match between the teams in this year's Olympics. The U.S. had beaten Japan, 1-0, on Aug. 9 in the group stage.
Monday's result keeps the Americans unbeaten against the Japanese in all 22 matches played between the nations. It was the team's sixth straight victory against Japan, and 19th overall.
The Americans beat Brazil to win the gold in Athens, but lost to them, 4-0, in the semifinals of last year's World Cup, which also was played in China.
Led by two-time FIFA Player of the Year Marta, Brazil reached Friday's final by beating world champion Germany, 4-1, in Shanghai.
The U.S. got off to a slow start at this year's Olympics, losing, 2-0, to Norway before recovering to advance in first place in its group. Japan also had problems, reaching the second round only as one of the best two third-place finishers.


This is the first comic book or Superhero related piece that I've ever painted. Not that I don't enjoy comic books, I do. But I've never really gotten into painting the popular characters from the DC and Marvel universes. They were never really dirty or ugly enough for me. But this Joker! From what I understand, this design is from a new imagining of the DC Universe in which a character named, "Dollman" cuts the Jokers face off. The Joker later retrieves his face and reapplies it with a belt and some staples. It all sounded dirty and ugly enough for my liking.

FuzeX, Cryptocurrency Card Provider, Signs Partnership to Integrate Dash
Posted by Justin Szilard | Aug 30, 2018 | News |
FuzeX, which provides consumers with a card to spend their cryptocurrency at countless merchants that accept traditional card payments, has signed a "memorandum of understanding" to integrate Dash into its platform and launch a new Dash card.
CEO of FuzeX, Jae-Hun Bae, said that their "goal is to grow [the] FuzeX ecosystem by adding various kinds of cryptocurrency, especially those with the most consistent usability as a currency". He added that "[b]y partnering with Dash, [they] are pleased to offer benefits to the users of the FuzeX card and ecosystem". The FuzeX card looks similar to any other credit/debit card with a chip and magnetic strip, but also features a small e-paper screen to see balances and to switch between up to 30 credit, debit, reward and cryptocurrency accounts.
Bradley Zastrow, head of business development for Dash Core Group, spoke about how the partnership stands to enhance the Dash network by increasing the number of locations where Dash can easily be spent.
"We are happy to grow the Dash ecosystem with our partnership with FuzeX. To grow the ecosystem, at its most basic levels, people not only need a way to acquire and store their Dash but also spend it in a frictionless way with a familiar experience: Like point-of-sale purchases with a physical credit card. This partnership allows for an easy and exciting new way for people to spend their Dash."
FuzeX also utilizes a mobile app that easily allows users to check and move funds between their various accounts. According to the press release, the platform is expected to launch in Q4 of 2018.
Expanding the capabilities of cryptocurrency
The current marketplace for cryptocurrency acceptance is rapidly expanding, but is still relatively small in comparison to other markets. Despite how easy it might be to set up a wallet and accept cryptocurrency as a merchant, there are still barriers to entry such as switching costs based on ease of use. Overcoming these barriers are necessary to further increase cryptocurrency adoption. FuzeX is working towards this by enabling purchases with Dash and cryptocurrency at regular merchant POS terminals so merchants do not have to learn a new system. When the FuzeX card is swiped, the merchant POS terminal will send a request to the card issuer to authorize the payment. Then the card issuer will check the FuzeX exchange and the card holder's account to ensure the appropriate fiat funds are available and either deny the transaction or approve it and lock the respective amount of funds. These are extra and centralized steps, as opposed to direct peer-to-peer digital currency transactions, but it does provide a stepping stone to wider cryptocurrency adoption.
The FuzeX ecosystem also uses FXT tokens to operate the platform. These tokens can currently be used to purchase the FuzeX cards, pay the annual membership fee (which includes a shared cost of the Bank Identification Number fee), and the ability to increase the number of transactions allowed beyond the initial transaction limit set by the card issuers due to exchange rate risks. In the future, FuzeX plans to use the FXT token to allow users to easily move between their various accounts and the FuzeX partners.
Dash continuously expands its usability
Dash has continuously focused on becoming an extremely usable cryptocurrency and payment method in everyday transactions. This includes Dash's focus on merchant adoption around the world. DiscoverDash currently lists over 2500 Dash accepting merchants worldwide and over 1000 of those merchants are located in Venezuela alone. Dash has also integrated with other companies similar to FuzeX such as PayCent, which also allows consumers to use the PayCent card to pay at regular merchant POS terminals, but withdrawal from their cryptocurrency accounts.
These adoption stats have been possible because of Dash's unique structure that enables the DAO Treasury to fund various initiatives such as funding the Dash development team and community outreach to educate consumers about how Dash works and how Dash can benefit them. This also enables potential partners to have a singular outlet to go to for questions when thinking about a partnership such as the one FuzeX pursued. The Dash DAO provides the initial catalysts, after which adoption begins to reach a critical mass and increases on its own.

Egypt: a flawed constitutional reform process
A new ICJ report shows that the constitutional reform process in Egypt has failed to meet international principles of inclusive participation and transparency, thereby undermining the transition to democracy.
"The Egyptian authorities, including the Constituent Assembly, have failed so far to meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people to adopt a Constitution that establishes the rule of law, recognizes and protects universally accepted human rights without restriction, guarantees the independence of the judiciary in all circumstances, and ensures the effectiveness of democratic institutions," said Wilder Tayler, ICJ Secretary General.
The ICJ is calling upon the Egyptian authorities to address the challenges currently facing the constitutional reform process, as a matter of urgency; ensure that this process is in full compliance with international standards of inclusive participation and transparency; and guarantee that the new Constitution fully conforms with the rule of law and international law, including human rights standards.
The ICJ report Egypt's new Constitution: a flawed process; uncertain outcomes details how, in overseeing the process leading to the adoption of a new Constitution, the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) failed to ensure the rights of Egyptians to take part in public affairs and to meaningfully participate in the drafting and adoption of a new Constitution.
"Instead of paving the way for a clear and participatory reform process, the SCAF consistently opted for opaque, rushed and non-consensual policies that aimed to shield the armed forces from any form of accountability and that have severely undermined both the legitimacy of the process itself and its outcomes," Tayler added.
Even though the administration of President Morsi replaced the SCAF on 30 June 2012, the constitution-making process continues to be carried out under the legal framework enacted by the SCAF.
The report also describes how several judicial decisions, in particular the dissolution of the first Constituent Assembly, by a decision from the High Administrative Court, and the dissolution of the People's Assembly, following a decision by the Supreme Constitutional Court, have contributed to the confusion and uncertainty regarding the drafting of a new constitution.
As a result of this confused process, the draft of the new Constitution, published by the Constituent Assembly on 14 October 2012, has failed to provide for effective guarantees to reinforce the protection of human rights and the supremacy of the rule of law, including by ensuring that the powers of the State are not exercised arbitrarily.
"The draft Constitution does not sufficiently incorporate the rule of law and international law, including human rights standards. This is particularly evident as regards the accountability of the armed forces and their subordination to a legally constituted civilian authority, the content and scope of constitutional human rights, and the compliance of the whole judicial system, including the Office of the Public Prosecutor and the Constitutional Court, with international standards of independence, impartiality and accountability," said Said Benarbia, ICJ Senior Legal Adviser for the MENA programme.
The report sets out urgent institutional and legal reforms that, together with sufficient political will, may help ensure a clean break with the practices and policies of Mubarak's regime and the transition to a genuine democracy in Egypt.

Q: what is the real standard or choices of chinese girls to choose a boyfriend ? what exactly they look for in a boy?
almost every girls dream to go abroad and have a foreign boyfriend ..
its ok if you are not good-looking as long as you have the cash .;.
I have been to 6 countries in 3 continents.Never had a foreign bf.
I would say, everyone is different. I heard a lot people say that I am nothing like the Chinese girls they met, I'm not sure about that. I think there are a lot Chinese girls just like me.
I don't know why a girl has good education, career, nice family, great friends look for a foreign bf who is ugly, old but with cash and can provide her a green card.
I have this girl friend, who dates an African for 7 years, this African is from Congo, has not much money and obviously my girl friend is not dating him for a Congo green card.
I have another girl friend who dates an Indonisian, her salary tripled her bf's.
What I am saying here is every girl looks for different things, so you cannot ask what do Chinese girls look for in a bf. But if you fall in love with her, and she is looking for money and u r rich, she is looking for a visa and u can provide her, then u r lucky, cause she will be urs. If she looks for love, and she doesn't love u, I can only feel sorry for u, cause in that case, no matter how rich u r, and even u have a green card for heaven, she is not going to be with u.
Don't ask what Chinese girls want from their bf, ask the one u fall in love with, what is she looking for in u.
I have no idea, why in this website so many guys ask similar questions about Chinese girls, and it seems most people hate Chinese girl for being realistic. If u love Chinese girls, go and find a nice one. And I will not say I love foreigners, I love the one I love no matter how he looks, yellow, white or black who cares.
If you have a standard for a bf or gf, u r luck,y cause u will find one who matches all the points on ur list. The most difficult one is u want only love nothing else.
Sorry I didn't answer ur question there. I did not mean to bring this topice to Chinese and Foreigner, I answered this question based on Sunilsah2050's answer.
And I totally agree with coffaholic's answer.
I am sorry, I guess here u will say I am just a girl without her own opinion as she simply agree with other's answer.
I said I totally agree with coffaholic's answer that means I think everyone wants different things, you cannot really ask what are chinese girls look for in a boy, just ask the one u love, what she looks for in u.
What do u think about my answer? Too blunt? Too premature?Or nothing new?
Do u know why? Because they are not the one u love.
U don't need to know what evey chinese girl's idea is, just ask the one u love.
now a days there's one thing that chinese women want from guys ,not car,not house ..

A relict forest biome, once covering a large tract of Brazil, continues to export significant quantities of charred carbon to the ocean each year, reports a study published online this week in Nature Geoscience. On entering the deep ocean, charred carbon remains largely resistant to degradation, and release into the atmosphere, on timescales of centuries to millennia.
Before being destroyed by slash and burn practices, Brazil's Atlantic Forest was one of the largest tropical forest biomes on Earth. Thorsten Dittmar and colleagues combined historical records of land cover with satellite data to assess the amount of charred carbon generated by the burning of this biome, which started in the sixteenth century and ceased in 1973. They estimate that burning generated 200-500 million tonnes of charred carbon. Measurements from a river draining the region show that significant quantities of this charred carbon continue to be exported to the ocean each year.


Small garden bridges can be used in a host of garden and landscape settings. It would absolutely remodel the spot into grand and wonderful location.Bridges in the garden can make impact to our yard into something official with a nation-fashion impact.

Locate several backyard garden bridges design in numerous online internet sites and pick the a single you think excellent for your lawn. Also make confident that your bridge will make a difference in your backyard garden. Match the dimensions of your bridge to the location exactly where you are likely to place it. Have small backyard garden bridges for minimum location and select a excellent size for individuals greater places. Don't forget, yard bridges ought to make one more attraction to the yard.There are small garden but look excellent due to the fact bridges are just put in the right place that extra so significantly beauty in the garden. Make the hard work to create some thing fantastic attraction in your yard and will give you gratification and happiness as you see the place every day in your life.Developing up in Central Florida, I was privileged to have very good yr-spherical developing problems. My grandparents were avid gardeners, and I remember the massive jar painted white sitting on the counter to acquire foods for the compost pile. Once it was loaded, my granddad would just take it out to the compost bin and flip in, generating a abundant soil. Although he composted, I was not introduced to hen poop fertilizer until I was significantly more mature.I was lucky to develop up with an consciousness of composting, and once I moved and began a garden of my personal, I experienced to investigate composting and fertilizing on my possess, including hen manure fertilizer. I went via very a couple of plants that I "buried" rather of planted, because I did not consider the time to commit in the appropriate soil.After a buddy informed me about rooster poop fertilizer as a wonderful natural and organic compound, I had to examine on HOW to use, of all things, chicken poop! I experienced never ever listened to of such a thing from my city grandparents, since ours was all turned food merchandise blended with dirt.Upon looking through up, I uncovered that chicken manure fertilizer is the richest in nutrients of the animal manures. Because of the substantial content material of nutrition, it really is"sizzling manure". This means it will melt away your vegetation if you just sprinkle it around. It works very best to compost this manure prior to using it.I had to understand how to compost with hen poop fertilizer.

AMIT SHAH IN KASHMIR
Amit Shah, who is perhaps India's most powerful Union Minister of Home Affairs or MHA who recently made his maiden visit to Kashmir valley as newly appointed Home Minister of India. Mr. Shah's visit, unlike past visits of other central ministers and even prime ministers was notably unprecedented in many ways, including the fact that no call for the customary strike was given against Mr. Shah's visit by the JRL for the first time in 30 years, the significance of which was something that was not lost on anyone in Kashmir valley – be it mainstream politicians, JRL or even common Kashmiri.
Mr. Shah's visit and his deliberations in Kashmir were characteristically significant in as much as about what he did as it was about what he did not do. While Mr. Shah's visit to Kashmir valley undoubtedly showed that Kashmir remains the top most agenda on MHA's list of priorities, the high-profile visit of Mr. Shah once again put focus on the strong but tumultuous relationship between MHA and Kashmir valley, which is otherwise not much talked about.
MHA has traditionally occupied the second most powerful position after the Prime Minister Office (PMO) in the union cabinet. In fact, many Home Ministers have gone on to become Prime Ministers of India like Lal Bahadur Shastri, Chaudhary Charan Singh and P.V. Narasimha Rao and other Home Ministers like Zail Singh and R. Venkataraman have gone on to become President of India. What most people however don't know is that the office of the Home Minister of India has also been occupied by two Kashmiris.
The first Kashmiri to occupy the office of MHA as Home Minster of India was Mr. Kailash Nath Katju (1951-55), who belonged to a Kashmiri Pundit family that had settled in former princely state of Jarora in present day Madhya Pradesh. Mr. Katju, a Congress man served under Prime Minister Pundit Jawahar Lal Nehru. He additionally served as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and Governors of the states of West Bengal and Orissa. Markandey Katju, the noted columnist, who retired as a judge of the Supreme Court of India is grandson of Kailash Nath Katju.
The other Kashmiri who served as India's Home Minister was none other than Late Mufti Mohammad Syed (1989-90), who remains India's first and only Muslim Home Minister to occupy the second most powerful position in union cabinet. He served as member of Janata Dal under the Prime Minister V.P. Singh. The Janata Dal was an agglomeration of disgruntled members of PM Rajiv Gandhi's cabinet like V.P. Singh, Arif Mohammad Khan, I.K. Gujaral etc., as well as that of factions of former socialist parties that operated under "Janata Party" tag.
Mufti Mohammad Syed was part of Rajiv Gandhi cabinet, who left Congress along with V.P. Singh and other Congressmen to join a newly formed Janata Dal. He won from Muzaffarnagar Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh on Janata dal ticket and joined V.P. Singh's cabinet as Home Minister of India. It was during this time that he is said to have come in contact with and made friends with Mr. Satya Pal Malik, who had also fought and won on Janata Dal ticket from Aligarh Lok Sabha constituency, the neighboring constituency of Mr. Syed's Muzaffarnagar. The same Mr. Satya Pal Malik today serves as the Governor of J&K state.
Mr. Shah is the fourth Home Minister to occupy the office of MHA from the BJP. He follows the footsteps of Murli Manohar Joshi (1996), L.K. Advani (1998-2004) and Rajnath Singh (2014-2019). In his first visit to Kashmir valley as newly appointed Home Minister, what Mr. Shah did not do was to have a customary meeting and interaction, both with the mainstream political leadership of Kashmir valley as well as that of JRL. Forget about NC, PDP and Hurriyat, Mr. Amit Shah did not even meet BJP's close ally PC of Sajad Lone. If reports are to be believed, Mr. Shah chose to ignore even telephone calls from mainstream parties and JRL.
What, Mr. Shah did not however ignore was to instead have a "direct outreach" to groups like delegations of Sarpanches and Panches from different parts of Kashmir and representatives of Kashmir's Gujjar and Bakarwal community. He also met family members of Arshad Khan, slain Inspector of J&K police. This "by-passing" or snub of Kashmir's power elite in favor of a "direct outreach" with the people of Kashmir happened even as overnight Income Tax raids were conducted on residences and business premises of Abdul Rahim Rather, senior leader of NC from Kashmir and Janak Raj Gupta, senior leader of Congress from Jammu, just before Mr. Shah was to reach Srinagar. The opposition parties of J&K predictably cried foul play and accused BJP of the misuse of state's institutions to intimidate opposition parties.
When we put together, all these events, contours of Mr. Shah's Kashmir policy become very clear. In addition to expected continuation of tough stance of Modi 2 government against militancy in Kashmir valley and continuing disengagement with the JRL, Mr. Shah seems to be even less enthusiastic about engaging with the traditional mainstream parties of Kashmir valley, whom he clearly considers as "part of the problem" rather than "part of the solution".
The "carrot" in the "carrot and stick" policy of Mr. Shah's Kashmir strategy seems to be the "direct outreach" to the people of Kashmir valley through improvement in governance, effective implementation of social welfare schemes and strengthening of grass root and state level democratic institutions. The critics however point towards the need of tackling the political nature of Kashmir problem as the key to permanent peace and stability in Kashmir valley. And oscillating between these two narratives lies the need to create a middle ground, where Delhi and Srinagar can come together and talk. Will that happen and who can create this middle ground – traditional mainstream, emerging mainstream or JRL – only time will tell.

Q: Multiple-colored regions on a Sphere in Mathematica The problem: I would like to draw a sphere where the bottom half is one color, and the top half is split into 3 equal regions, each with its own color.
I have come up with the following code, by following the example from drawing a line on a torus here on Stack Overflow (Plotting a contour on a torus)
yourFunc = Function[{u, v}, v - Pi/2]
yourFunc2 = Function[{u, v}, u - 4 Pi/3]
yourFunc3 = Function[{u, v}, u - 2 Pi/3]
yourFunc4 = Function[{u, v}, u - 2 Pi]

ParametricPlot3D[{
    Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[v] Sin[u], Cos[v]
}, {
    u, 0, 2 Pi
}, {
    v, 0, Pi
},
MeshFunctions -> {
    Function[{x, y, z, u, v}, yourFunc[u, v]],
    Function[{x, y, z, u, v}, yourFunc2[u, v]],
    Function[{x, y, z, u, v}, yourFunc3[u, v]],
    Function[{x, y, z, u, v}, yourFunc4[u, v]]
},
Mesh -> {{0}},
MeshShading -> {
    {{{Red}, {Green}, {Blue}, {Yellow}}},
    {{{Orange}, {Cyan}, {Magenta}, {Black}}},
    {{{White}, {Black}, {White}, {Black}}}
},
MeshStyle -> Directive[Green, Thick],
PlotPoints -> 100,
PlotStyle -> Opacity[3/5]
]

This will draw lines how I want it, but I have not been able to figure out how to draw each of the 4 regions with different colors. No matter how I played with it, I can only get 3. I've tried using MeshShading, as seen here, and also tried with a ColorFunction, but that didn't get me anything.
I hope that I'm making this more complicated than it has to be.

A: 1. The normal mesh functions are u (#4 &) and v (#5 &). So we can just use Mesh without special mesh functions.
ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[v] Sin[u], Cos[v]}, {u, 0, 2 Pi}, {v, 0, Pi},
 Mesh -> {{0, 2 Pi/3, 4 Pi/3}, {Pi/2}},
 MeshShading ->
  Map[Directive[Opacity[0.6], #] &, {{Red, Green, Blue}, {Yellow, Yellow, Yellow}}, {2}],
 MeshStyle -> Directive[Green, Thick], BoundaryStyle -> Directive[Green, Thick]]

When using MeshStyle, one also often has to set the BoundaryStyle to match.  The boundary comes from the boundary of the domain of the parametrization, not of the sphere.
2. If the mesh/boundary lines in the lower half are not wanted, then the lines will have to be parameterized individually and combined with a plot of the sphere with MeshStyle -> None.  Edit-- Since the question came up, here's how to do the lines just around each patch:
lines = Table[
    ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[v] Sin[u], Cos[v]},
     {v, 0, Pi/2}, PlotStyle -> Directive[Green, Thick]],
    {u, {0, 2 Pi/3, 4 Pi/3}}] ~Append~
   With[{v = Pi/2},
    ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[v] Sin[u], Cos[v]},
     {u, 0, 2 Pi}, PlotStyle -> Directive[Green, Thick]]];
Show[
 ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[v] Sin[u], Cos[v]},
  {u, 0, 2 Pi}, {v, 0, Pi},
  Mesh -> {{0, 2 Pi/3, 4 Pi/3}, {Pi/2}},
  MeshShading ->
   Map[Directive[Opacity[0.6], #] &, {{Red, Green, Blue}, {Yellow, Yellow, Yellow}}, {2}],
  MeshStyle -> None, BoundaryStyle -> None],
 lines]
(* image essentially the same as the one below *)

3. Then for fun, a direct construction, which also isn't that hard for a sphere.  Note that Partition[array, {2, 2}, {1, 1}] partitions a 2D array into quadrilaterals -- a nice trick, although it needs some flattening and reordering.  It's also appropriate for our sphere.
sphere[u_, v_] := {Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[v] Sin[u], Cos[v]};
sphericalpatch[{u1_, u2_}, {v1_, v2_}, dt_] :=
 Module[{n, pts = N@Table[sphere[u, v], {u, u1, u2, dt}, {v, v1, v2, dt}]},
  n = Length@First@pts;
  pts = Flatten[pts, 1];
  GraphicsComplex[pts,
   {Polygon[
     Flatten[
      Map[Flatten[#][[{1, 2, 4, 3}]] &,
       Partition[Partition[Range@Length@pts, n], {2, 2}, {1, 1}], {2}], 1]
     ]},
   VertexNormals -> pts]
  ]

With[{dt = 2 Pi/48},
 Graphics3D[{Opacity[0.6], EdgeForm[],
   Red, sphericalpatch[{0, 2 Pi/3}, {0, Pi/2}, dt],
   Green, sphericalpatch[{2 Pi/3, 4 Pi/3}, {0, Pi/2}, dt],
   Blue, sphericalpatch[{4 Pi/3, 2 Pi}, {0, Pi/2}, dt],
   Yellow, sphericalpatch[{0, 2 Pi}, {Pi/2, Pi}, dt],
   Opacity[1], Green, Thick,
   Line[Table[sphere[u, #] & /@ Range[0, Pi/2, dt],
     {u, {0, 2 Pi/3, 4 Pi/3}}]],
   Line[sphere[#, Pi/2] & /@ Range[0, 2 Pi, dt]]
   }]
 ]

A: Show[SphericalPlot3D[1, ##, Mesh -> None] & @@@
  MapThread[{{s, Sequence @@ #1}, {t, Sequence @@ #2},
     PlotStyle -> #3} &, {{{0, \[Pi]/2}, {0, \[Pi]/2}, {0, \[Pi]/
      2}, {\[Pi]/2, \[Pi]}}, {{0, (2 \[Pi])/3}, {(2 \[Pi])/3, (
      4 \[Pi])/3}, {(4 \[Pi])/3, 2 \[Pi]}, {0, 2 \[Pi]}}, {Red, Green,
      Blue, Yellow}}], PlotRange -> All, Axes -> None, Boxed -> False]

or perhaps this is closer to intended final result:
Show[SphericalPlot3D[1, ##, Mesh -> None] & @@@
  MapThread[{{s, Sequence @@ #1}, {t, Sequence @@ #2},
     PlotStyle -> {#3, Opacity[0.6]}, BoundaryStyle -> #4} &,
   {{{0, \[Pi]/2}, {0, \[Pi]/2}, {0, \[Pi]/2}, {Pi/
       2, \[Pi]}}, {{0, (2 \[Pi])/3}, {(2 \[Pi])/3, (4 \[Pi])/
       3}, {(4 \[Pi])/3, 2 \[Pi]}, {0, 2 \[Pi]}}, {Red, Green, Blue,
     Yellow}, {Directive[Green, Thick], Directive[Green, Thick],
     Directive[Green, Thick], None}}], PlotRange -> All,
 Axes -> False, Boxed -> False]

A: If the mesh lines are not needed, SphericalPlot can be used in a much simpler form:
sp1 = SphericalPlot3D[1, {θ, 0, π}, {ϕ, 0, 2 π}, Mesh -> {1, 2},
        MeshShading->Thread[{{Red, Blue, Yellow}, Green}], MeshStyle->None, Lighting->"Neutral"]

If you do need the mesh lines, you can do
sp2 = SphericalPlot3D[1, {θ, 0, π/2}, {ϕ, 0, 2 π},
        Mesh->{0, 2},  PlotStyle->None, MeshStyle->Directive[Thick, Green]]
Show[sp1, sp2]

Or, as in @ubpdqn's answer, define a function that takes 4 arguments to produce the two plots:

Discharging storage bin serves predominantly for collecting small wood waste, sawdust, chips, shavings and subsequent sifting and mixing of the fuel mixture, which is then transported to the boiler room by mechanization. The silo jacket is rigid, welded of steel sheet segments. Discharging and rippling system is very efficient and not maintenance intensive. Thanks to the SLP, silo discharging is easy and fast, there is no creation of dangerous vaults, sawdust, shavings and bran will not solidify. Indicators for limit waste levels are placed on the silo.

Q: sys.getrefcount(None) rolling over to negative value So I have a fairly large python application using wxPython, Matplotlib, Numpy, and was originally using pySerial with minimalmodbus for device communication. The application is used to read and plot data from a USB spectroradiometer. All was working well with it until we decided to swap the communications from modbus to usb for speed. I am now using pyusb with libusb0.1 backend. It works for the most part with the exception of a rather annoying:
Fatal Python Error: Deallocating None
This pops up after taking about 20,000 measurements. It's not always on the same one but it's close. After getting the error, I did some googling and decided to  put a sys.getrefcount(None) in my code before and after sending a cmd and receiving data from the USB device. I don't know what numbers are usually to be expected, but there was increase of about 4717 reference count from before the command was sent, till after data was pulled. And a little more than 200,000 increase in reference count from the end of the read till the beginning of the next send. So every measurement increased the reference count by about 220000!
This seems like an outrageous amount to me but then I'm not familiar with the kinds of numbers to be expected here.
The problem is that it seems that whatever variable is holding the reference count for 'None' is a 32 bit signed integer. After about 9000 measurements, the reference count overflows from 2147483647 to -2147483648. It then steadily increases at the same rate as above until it hits zero and kills the program with the aforementioned Fatal Python Error: Deallocating None.
UPDATE:
It turns out that switching from pySerial to pyusb was NOT the source of the problem. I've found that both versions of the application have this same issue only now it's ten times more apparent because of the speed at which I can sample the spectroradiometer using pyusb.
I've removed all conscious uses of numpy from my code although I know matplotib uses numpy pretty heavily and cleaned up a few other areas. This has reduced the rate at which the program fails. I can now get nearly 90,000 measurements before the thing fails but it still does fail. Using the gc library and setting gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_LEAK) at the beginning of the program helped my find a lot of these areas that needed fixing. The program spits out a lot of references that seem to be emanating from matplotlib. It repeats this sequence frequently:
gc: collectable <MarkerStyle 05575AB0>
gc: collectable <dict 066C8030>
gc: collectable <instancemethod 0532EB70>

gc: collectable <list 05134530>
gc: collectable <set 05597990>
gc: collectable <dict 066C8F60>

Just starting the application spews out 967 lines of gc: collectable 'something something'. I don't fully understand how the gc library works or why these are showing up. Am I missing something obvious? How do I get this garbage to disappear?

A: Something in one of the packages (likely pyusb since it's the only thing that changed) is not managing the reference count for None correctly. It's literally impossible to cause wraparound on a Python object reference count without a reference leak of some kind; the signed size_t they use for the reference count can hold 2**31 - 1 or 2**63 - 1 legal values, half the size of the available memory address space in bytes (and in reality, usually the size of the available user mode address space, which is what counts for your purposes). Since the pointers that actually reference it use 4 or 8 bytes a piece, even if you filled all available addresses with references with no other overhead, you'd still never have enough space to store references that could overflow the reference count field. This rules out legal code that is misused (say, storing tons of references in a cache that never gets cleared); it must be a reference leak.
Presumably there is something incrementing it many times per call and not decrementing it later. If you didn't write any Python C extension or ctypes code yourself to do this, then it's one of your packages. pyusb actually doesn't seem like a likely culprit; it looks like it's implemented in C with some ctypes stuff, but it's extremely hard to pass real Python objects to C code that way (and no reason to do so). So presumably you've got at least one package in use that is implemented as a true C extension and was written by someone who doesn't understand CPython referencing counting semantics. I can't begin to guess which one that would be.


I have a Rockola 481 model jukebox. Recently the 'memory' has stopped working. It is on free play but will only play 1 song at a time.
When the song ends the machine returns to rest. I need to select another song. If I select many songs, but cancel the record before it ends the next song plays.
Can anyone help steer me in where to look?
maybe your cancel switch on the back could be sticky?
When the song is finished playing, the jukebox resets and it loses the songs in memory.
When I press the cancel button (before a song ends), it cancels the record and plays the next song (the memory then works).
It is like the memory cancels when a song is played all the way to the end.
i got mine already preset on freeplay also.
Thanks guys, Yes I tried the jukebox guy but he only works on old machines and I posted on Phonoland without any success.
Not sure of the components in the system but had a similar problem with another unit.
When it attempted to draw more power the control circuit watchdog would reboot the unit causing it to loose it memory.
Tracing through found that the supply rail was dropping when the unit wanted to proceed to the next item. Replacing capacitors fixed the issue and allowed the system to continue operating.
So perhaps monitor the power rails with a multimeter and see if you can see the drop when it cycles normally.
well i think i may be the one talked about from eBay..
i cover all Rock-Ola jukes.. well try to..!!
1st thing is, do you have the service manuals for your juke..??
I appreciate any help as I have tried everything without success.
I'm pretty sure I had the same problem when I first got my 484. Assuming your 481 is fairly similar and has a Hit Tracker module in it, try replacing the lithium battery. They have a finite lifespan and if yours has never been replaced it'll be dead by now. The battery is soldered in place so you'll need to wield a soldering iron. Good luck.

Which type of religion is yours?
You have two choices, consider yourself religious or demonstrate your religion by caring for those God does and keeping your heart clean from the corruption of the world.
and their religion is worthless.
Then you should know your religion is vain.
and keep yourself from the corruption of this world.
Here we have the last two verses of James chapter 1, it is important to remember the context into which James writes these words. Namely the readers being doers of the word and not just hearers. With that in mind James clearly views our actions as more telling of our hearts then our empty words. He challenges us not to think of ourselves as religious while lacking control over our speech because the reality is that we have only deceived ourselves. He is advocating obeying the word and demonstrating our religion by looking after those God counts as important though the world views them otherwise, but he is clear that we must also resist the influences of this world and remain pure as well. Thus James calls us to external action while maintaining the clarity and conviction of our faith.

A boat of Syrian refugees, and one of the photos that clinched this year's Pulitzer Prize.
2. Russia's law on foreign agents may be getting increasingly draconian. The latest: any money donated from abroad may fall under that sinister "international funding" umbrella. That could mean farewell to funding for orphans, the disabled, hospitals, victims of natural disasters, Russian refugees, and a whole slew of charities – not just the NGOs engaging in "political" activity originally covered in the law.
3. Russians wait all year for President Vladimir Putin's "Direct Line" call-in show, when he answers questions from the public. Of the 2.5 million questions submitted, Putin addressed issues such as street potholes, Turkey, breakfast cereal, the Panama Papers, and more. His gentler tone with citizens was apparent – perhaps an attempt to keep his party invulnerable with elections on the horizon.
—President Vladimir Putin responding to a nine-year-old girl's question about his breakfast habits. According to the president, kasha tastes better the older you get: he has a bowl every morning.

The first day I met Kayla and Jesse was the day of their engagement session in Sanford, MB. I arrived at their house and we immediately jumped into Jesse's truck and went off roading. They took me to this beautiful train track bridge and a dirt path that led into the woods with hidden treasures along the way. We then drove through a field to a massive hay bale wall just in time for sunset. The ultimate adventure! We left that session covered in dirt and hay.
Kayla and Jesse are so dear to my heart and I couldn't be happier for them!

Q: How should Fancytree node keys be escaped to avoid special characters? I discovered that the '+' character in a custom node key is converted silently to a space character. I obviously need to escape these special characters, but I could not find documentation about which characters are not allowed in keys.
Thanks!

A: There should be no conversion, except for casting non-strings to a string.
When the generateIdsoption is used, the key is added as id="KEY" attribute to the generated HTML element, so the standard restrictions apply.
The key is also internally used as JavaScript hash key.
I'd recommend plain ascii keys, but '{', '.', '~', ... should be no problem as well.
As far as I know, + is interpreted as space by browsers, when part of a URL, so maybe you see the conversion there.

Title: 17 beta-Estradiol protects against lung injuries after brain death in male rats
Authors: VIEIRA, Roberta Figueiredo; BREITHAUPT-FALOPPA, Ana Cristina; MATSUBARA, Bruno Carvalho; RODRIGUES, Geovana; SANCHES, Marcelo Petrof; ARMSTRONG- JR., Roberto; FERREIRA, Sueli Gomes; CORREIA, Cristiano de Jesus; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe P.; SANNOMIYA, Paulina
Citation: JOURNAL OF HEART AND LUNG TRANSPLANTATION, v.37, n.11, p.1381-1387, 2018
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Brain death elicits microvascular dysfunction and inflammation, and thereby compromises lung viability for transplantation. As 17 beta-estradiol was shown to be anti-inflammatory and vascular protective, we investigated its effects on lung injury after brain death in male rats. METHODS: Wistar rats were assigned to: sham-operation by trepanation only (SH, n = 7); brain death (BD, n = 7); administration of 17-estradiol (280 tg/kg, iv) at 60 minutes after brain death (BD-E2, n = 7). Experiments were performed 180 minutes thereafter. Histopathological changes in the lung were evaluated by histomorphometry. Gene expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and endothelin-1 was measured by real-time polymerise chain reaction. Protein expression of NO synthases, endothelin-1, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), BCL-2, and caspase 3 was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Cytokines were quantified by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Treatment with 17P-estradiol after brain death decreased lung edema and hemorrhage (p < 0.0001), and serum levels of cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 (CINC-1; p = 0.0020). iNOS (p < 0.0001) and VCAM-1 (p < 0.0001) also diminished at protein levels, while eNOS accumulated (p = 0.0002). However, gene expression of iNOS, eNOS, and endothelin-1 was comparable among groups, as was protein expression of endothelin-1, ICAM-1, BCL-2, and caspase 3. CONCLUSIONS: 17P-Estradiol effectively reduces lung injury in brain-dead rats mainly due to its ability to regulate NO synthases. Thus, the drug may improve lung viability for transplantation.

Yes, today's as much of a write-off as you expected when your alarm cut into that wonderful, if fantastical, recurring dream about China reaching its 8% GDP growth target this year. The bad news starts with China Southern Airlines, which recorded a loss of US$705.5 million in 2008, its highest ever, due to weak demand, last year's high oil prices and losses on its fixed assets. Unfortunately for Royal Dutch Shell, those high oil prices didn't continue into 2009, forcing the company to postpone or cancel a number of its China-based alternative-energy projects. It's not all cloudy and polluted skies, though. A silver lining to news that electricity use in China was down 4% in March is the fact that that's less of a drop than we've seen in previous months. There were also some sunny numbers from Volkswagen. The purveyor of Fahrvernügen reported its China sales increased by 9% in March as government policies to boost car sales kicked in.

Q: Need to verify text in table cell using Selenium Wrapper for Visual Basic I am using the Selenium Wrapper for Visual Basic to automate a Chrome browser.
I need to verify text in a table based on a string in a previously stored string variable (invoice).
Simplified HTML example:

Link Text

Text to be verified

I've tried this in Excel VBA to no avail:
Sub SearchForInvoice()
Dim driver As New SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver
Dim invoice As String
invoice = "Text to be verified"
If driver.verifyTextPresent(invoice) = True Then
   MsgBox("Success")
Else
End If
End Sub

An error message shows up saying "Runtime Error '13': Type mismatch"
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered. Still fairly new to programming.

A: It has been long time I wrote any VBA code. However yours problem look simple.
Sub SearchForInvoice()
    Dim driver As New SeleniumWrapper.WebDriver
    Dim invoice As String

    invoice = "Text to be verified"

    'You are doing driver.verifyTextPresent on driver itself. It should be on an element instead.
    'Or, simply finding the element with text based xpath search is enough as well.

    If driver.findElementByXPath("//td[.='Text to be verified']").size() > 0 Then

       MsgBox("Success")

    End If
End Sub


Prepare soba noodles per package directions. Set aside.
Heat 2 tsp of the oil in large straight-sided skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cook skin side down until skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until fish flakes easily and is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate and set aside.
Heat remaining 2 tsp oil in same pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add broth and 3 cups water to pan. Bring to boil.
Divide spinach, edamame, and reserved noodles and mushrooms among 4 bowls. Add broth mixture to each. Top each bowl with 1 piece salmon and poached egg (if using). Garnish with scallion, radish, and sesame seeds (if using). Serve with soy sauce (if desired).

Denmark is a land of opportunities which holds a promising future for individuals wanting to enhance their career abroad. If you are working for a company that has branches in Denmark, you are eligible to qualify for Denmark corporate scheme. If you have special skills and qualifications, you can be transferred from the company's foreign department to Denmark. You can then engage in work that is innovative or educational in nature or work on a project.
A corporate residence permit becomes obsolete once you give up residing in Denmark or if your stay outside Denmark has been for more than six months. If you have a Danish residence permit based on family reunification, humanitarian grounds or asylum, you do not require a Denmark work permit. In case of illegally working in the country, you stand chances of deportation and you and your employer risk the chance of fine or even imprisonment.
In order to obtain Denmark corporate scheme, a number of conditions should be fulfilled. Most of these are related to the company and its status. It is therefore, best if the company which is to hire you, must obtain a corporal approval before a Denmark residence and work permit can be granted to you.
In order to start working for the Danish company, you have to first receive the corporate residence permit and ensure that your stay in Denmark is an enriching experience.
For more information about Denmark Corporate Scheme, fill out our enquiry form, then one of our visa executive will get back to you.

On a hot summer day this lemony scent is a breeze of freshness. It brightens up my mood as the zesty, sparkling scent slowly settles into a sophisticated floral base note. Verbana by L'Occitane is a very unique citrusy fragrance enriched with organic verbena extract from Provence. It draws inspiration from freshly harvested green verbena leaves that fills the air around the markets of Provence.
Verbana by L'occitane is an herbal scent crafted with the best ingredients and it smells amazing. I love it when I am out on the patio enjoying the summer sun, while my husband prepares the BBQ and a little spritz of Verbana all over my clothing just adds to the ambience. This clean scent is a reminder of summer fun and I used it a lot this weekend. I attended Calgary Stampede breakfasts and BBQs and worked in my garden to prepare it for autumn. The fragrance of Verbana energizes to seize the day and do whatever I desire.
The scent doesn't last the whole day on me but much longer on my cotton tunics. The fresh burst of citrusy notes at the top captivates the senses before it gradually settles to a floral base note that I think is rose. I am not sure though. Its slightly woody in the middle but not overly masculine or feminine. Its a kind of fragrance anyone can use.
Overall, I feel that L'occitane's Verbana Eau de Toilette is a clean, fresh scent for summer time. It immerses me in the lemony fresh experience that is energizing to the mind and soul yet calming and satisfying. Next time you visit L'occitane's store, spritz a little on your wrist and feel it yourself.
