Rudolf Meringer (1859–1931), Indo-European philologist, published two collections of slips of the tongue, annotated and interpreted. From 1909, he was the founding editor of the cultural morphology movement's journal Wörter und Sachen. Meringer was the first to note the linguistic significance of speech errors, and his interpretations have stood the test of time. This work, rather than his mainstream philological research, has proven his most lasting linguistic contribution

The goal of speech perception is understanding a speaker's message. To achieve this, listeners must recognize the words that comprise a spoken utterance. This in turn implies distinguishing these words from other minimally different words (e.g., word from bird, etc.), and this involves making phonemic distinctions. The article summarizes research on the perception of phonemic distinctions, on how listeners cope with the continuity and variability of speech signals, and on how phonemic information is mapped onto the representations of words. Particular attention is paid to theories of speech perception and word recognition.

Cutler, A. (1989). Auditory lexical access: Where do we start? In W. Marslen-Wilson (Ed.), Lexical representation and process (pp. 342-356). Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
The lexicon, considered as a component of the process of recognizing speech, is a device that accepts a sound image as input and outputs meaning. Lexical access is the process of formulating an appropriate input and mapping it onto an entry in the lexicon's store of sound images matched with their meanings. This chapter addresses the problems of auditory lexical access from continuous speech. The central argument to be proposed is that utterance prosody plays a crucial role in the access process. Continuous listening faces problems that are not present in visual recognition (reading) or in noncontinuous recognition (understanding isolated words). Aspects of utterance prosody offer a solution to these particular problems.

Speech production is constrained at all levels by the demands of speech perception. The speaker's primary aim is successful communication, and to this end semantic, syntactic and lexical choices are directed by the needs of the listener. Even at the articulatory level, some aspects of production appear to be perceptually constrained, for example the blocking of phonological distortions under certain conditions. An apparent exception to this pattern is word boundary information, which ought to be extremely useful to listeners, but which is not reliably coded in speech. It is argued that the solution to this apparent problem lies in rethinking the concept of the boundary of the lexical access unit. Speech rhythm provides clear information about the location of stressed syllables, and listeners do make use of this information. If stressed syllables can serve as the determinants of word lexical access codes, then once again speakers are providing precisely the necessary form of speech information to facilitate perception.

The following theorem is taken from Levi Ben Gershon's manuscript Maaseh Hoshev (The Art of Calculation), 1321.
When you add consecutive numbers starting with 1, and the number of numbers you add is odd, the result is equal to the product of the middle number among them times the last number.
Below is my proof by induction to prove this theorem.

The $10-million donation from alumnus Lowell Milken to UCLA's law school is stirring a debate on the campus regarding the decision to name a business law institute after Milken. The former financier was linked to a junk bond scandal at Wall Street twenty years ago.
Objections were raised by a prominent business law professor to Milken's gift and to the announcement of UCLA this month that it will set up the institute in his name. However, top UCLA administrators and other law school faculty say that they welcome the donation, noting the former financier was not convicted of any wrongdoing.
Milken has been barred from working in the securities industry as part of a 1991 with federal regulators. He was never put on trial for criminal charges in the case that put his older brother Michael in jail for securities fraud. In the years that followed, both Milkens have become well-known philanthropists, with Lowell particularly generous to education causes. He was known to have given several donations to UCLA in the past.
Concerns about this latest donation were raised by Lynn A. Stout, a UCLA business law professor and an expert on corporate and securities law, in a letter which she sent last month to UC President Mark Yudof and UCLA Chancellor Gene Block. She said that the gift creates "serious ethical problems and reputational risks for UCLA" and could also damage her own reputation.
During an interview Tuesday, Stout also said she is worried Milken's name on the new UCLA institute would imply that the law school is endorsing him as a role model for its students. "I don't think someone who has been banned from the security industry and barred from the New York Stock Exchange is an appropriate model for UCLA alumni and students," said Stout.

Vocalosity is a music group with ten members selected from televised singing shows like The Sing-Off, The Voice, national performing tours, a cappella groups and Broadway. Throughout the show, the group performs both as one large group and also in smaller configurations. Their repertoire spans from gregorian chant to current pop hits including The Beatles, Motown and Jazz.

Artistic director, music director and arranger Deke Sharon, known for his work on Pitch Perfect and The Sing-Off, created the show with IMG Artists and Work Light Productions. Director and choreographer Seán Curran is the chair of the dance department at New York University and was an original cast member of the New York company of Stomp. Creative consultants Robert Sternin and Prudence Fraser are best known for their work developing The Nanny and writing for shows like Who's The Boss.

Most performances feature a local opening act, chosen by public vote or by Deke Sharon including high school and college groups, barbershop quartets, pop choirs and the like.

Members Gerianne Perez and Chesney Snow left the group to join the Broadway Musical In Transit which opened December 11, 2016, so the group's second tour featured 10 members instead of 12.

Album

Vocalosity's eponymous debut album was released on January 15, 2016 on Universal Classics (part of Decca Label Group ), and rose onto the iTunes Vocal charts in the United States (#27) and Japan (#30)

Concert tour

The group's first 33-city concert tour spanned January–March 2016. Their second 49-concert international tour was October 2016 through February 2017.

Great suggestions. I used my VIB code and got a few nice products.
I was thinking of getting tge GlamGlow face setting spray. Does it keep makeup true to color? Have you ever tried Algenist?
Hi Jessica! Yes, it does. They actually just came out with a mini version that's only $16 at sephora if you want to try it out. I have not tried Algenist. Just Urban Decay and MAC setting sprays.

It's a tool to set up a conversation with your audience or customers in a messaging app. You can send them messages and they can answer back. They can also start their own conversation with the chatbot.
The most common apps for which you can build a chatbot are Facebook Messenger and Telegram, but it can be done also on Slack and other messaging apps whose API is open.
How can a chatbot be useful?
For a media organization or for any company devoted to content, a chatbot could be a useful tool to engage (especially but not only) with a younger audience. A chatbot lives in one of the most intimate spaces of a user's phone: the place where he or she talks to family and friends.
If you set the right tone and you manage to be a relevant and useful voice there, you can establish a relationship and develop trust, one of the most valuable assets now for any company, media or not.
Although every case is different, we can offer our own experience and advice about how to work on the right voice for a chatbot. The retention rate and the response rate are much higher than any other metric we have seen for apps, websites and other more traditional tools.
It is definitely a good way to know your users better. If you offer content adapted to the medium, they are willing to engage in conversation and answer about their interests and preferences. You can serve them better and understand who you are talking to in a more targeted way.
A chatbot is also useful to send live updates to people interested in a particular issue at a particular time. For instance, an election, the Olympics or a music festival. Our own experience with the politics bot show us how effective you could be on election night.
It's an Content Management System to create chatbots with a friendly interface to manage messages, analytics and feedback. Let's call it Bot Management System (BMS).
On our platform, the same message can be sent to Facebook Messenger and Telegram without needing to duplicate the process. And you can send different messages to different users according to their interests.
In June 2016 we built a chatbot for the Spanish election and it got almost 9,000 users in the first three weeks. We explained how we did it on this article.
Our team learned a lot back then about the specific challenges that creating a chatbot poses and about how the audience engages with it in a messaging app. The chatbot generated more than 100,000 sessions and delivered the election results to every user in real time.
In order to enable other companies to have their own chatbots and benefit from our experience, we decided to build a chatbot platform. We were selected by Google to get funding to do this as part of Google DNI project to foster innovation in the European media industry.
What's special about our platform?
It's easy to use and create conversations. It's designed by journalists and developers with experience in marketing and we have been using it and tweaking it along the way. In fact we decided to build our own platform because we didn't find a tool available in the market that was easy to use and flexible enough to fulfill all our needs.
The platform supports conversation through a menu of options but we can also integrate some natural language processing so the chatbot can follow a basic conversation with the user. Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration in chatbots is still in an early stage but our platform can prepare a chatbot to understand some key words and give the audience content related to them.
We have also integrated easy-to-use and accurate analytics and personalization tools to know your audience better and to have the ability to send information that is relevant to them.
Actually, anyone interested in engaging with an audience. But we think it's more useful for media organizations or any company dealing with content.
You can use the features of the platform for a fee that would depend on the work or any extra development that the project could require, and a monthly fee. That would include access to the BMS, real time analytics and the ability to send unlimited and personalized messages to your audience through Facebook Messenger and Telegram. We would also explain you how to use the platform and how to develop a voice and strategy on these channels.
If you want to add features, integrate external databases or have a high volume of users or interactions, we can set a special project tailored for your needs.
We are also experts on data visualizations. You can check our work on this link. If you want to enrich the experience of your audience with data, we can also offer you a package that includes a chatbot with live results and several interactives.
If you want to see how your chatbot could work, check our own at Facebook Messenger or Telegram.

Residents of Chester, a small, hardscrabble city on the banks of the Delaware River, have always dealt with poverty, the scourge of drug abuse and addiction, crime, and high unemployment.
Now, they are coming to grips with a new reality: environmental injustice.
The city has the largest trash incinerator in the country, burning up to 3,510 tons of garbage a day. It receives waste from Pennsylvania and 14 other states, Puerto Rico and Canada, according to an agency that fights for environmental justice.
The city's residents have suffered major health risks including higher incidences of cancer than people living elsewhere in Pennsylvania, according to the Energy Justice Network. Chester has the state's highest infant mortality rate and a lung cancer mortality rate about 60 percent higher than the rates for Delaware County.
Chester has a deep-rooted history of environmental racism — the act of taking advantage of a poor community and destroying its environment for economic benefits. But for years, this environmental hazard went mostly unacknowledged, receiving little to no coverage in the media.
Jamison Maley, a University of Pennsylvania graduate student who teaches environmental ethics at the Haverford School, researched the history of environmental racism in Chester.
"In 1994, 67 percent of children in Chester had blood-lead levels higher than the 'acceptable risk,' " Maley said in a recent interview. As a result, Chester residents took a stand and spoke up about their concerns.
The EPA responded in 1995, releasing a citywide Environmental Risk Study, exposing the injustice and dangers that lie within the community. At the time, news articles increased local awareness of the situation.
However, over the past decade, the media no longer gives the environmental justice issue much coverage, residents say.
Since 1992, a number of organizations led environmental activism in the city: from Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living, to Campus Coalition Concerning Chester, to Laborers International Union Local 413, the DelCo Alliance for Environmental Justice, which was founded by the Energy Justice Network. And since 2011, there's been a youth group called Chester Green.
DelCo Alliance for Environmental Justice, is now operating as Chester Environmental Justice, said Mike Ewall, founder and director of Energy Justice Network.
"We still conduct toxic tours, like the one we did for two buses of students who attended the national Students for Zero Waste conference in Philadelphia last November," Ewall said, adding that the group conducts interviews, acts as a watchdog and mobilizes around major issues as needed.
If anything, Chester residents need their voices heard now more than ever.
In the spring of 2017, Kimberly-Clark, a paper-based personal care company, developed and expanded its paper mill and power plant in Chester. Just blocks away from residential areas, the plant burns coal and produces crude oil by-products on a regular and consistent basis.
This development came as no surprise to Maley. "More of the toxic facilities are institutionalized in lower-class communities like Chester," he said.
Unfortunately for Chester, the Kimberly-Clark paper mill is just the beginning of more threats.
Chemical plants and oil refineries like Monroe Energy, Evonik Degussa Corporation, Sunoco Marcus Hook Refinery, and Pq Corporation line the riverfront, all spanning a range of only 3.4 miles.
But many in Chester have no clue what's being done to them.

Chrysler changes official logo following merger
Home » Graphic Design » Chrysler changes official logo following merger
Not every major corporate logo redesign is widely announced. Auto company Chrysler has relied on a five-pointed "Pentastar" logo for more than 50 years, but now the company has switched its identity after recently merging with another manufacturer, Fiat, to become Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. As International Business times reports, this follows a long period in which the company phased the Pentastar out slowly, instead choosing a different symbol for each division.
The new official logo adopted by the company simply displays the letters "FCA" in blue, a sudden move that has upset some fans who believe that the previous design was a classic. Although the brand considered this change far in advance, some users are, according to the source, surprised and dismayed by it.
In a statement from the company quoted by the Detroit Free Press, Chrysler affirmed the importance of this logo in establishing the new branding. The source notes that this logo is not expected to affect any of the subsidiary vehicle brands under the Chrysler name.
"Chrysler Group is now part of the newly formed FCA," the statement read. "As such, the spirit of Chrysler and the Pentastar moves forward as part of this new entity, joining the strengths of the previous Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group LLC. Both have adopted the FCA logo."
While companies should make sure all of the changes to their logos are publicized, it also helps to do so in a way that is consistent and lets consumers know the reason behind the new look. With custom screen printing, your business can be sure that a logo redesign is adopted equally in every medium, from a brick-and-mortar store displays to merchandise. That way, fans and newcomers alike will come to love the new look of your business.

Match Report: Inchicore Athletic 2-1 Seaford Rock United
LSL Saturday Major 1B
Seaford were left ruing a string of missed chances as Inchicore Athletic's substitutes changed the game in the final 20 minutes to secure the three points.
The visitors were solid defensively and lively in attack throughout, and will be wondering how they weren't two or three goals to the good before Core's late comeback.
Inchicore's Sean Berry was the first keeper to make a save, clawing Mike O'Neill's instinctive shot away from the corner of his net after good work from Gavin Walsh and Stephen Canavan to create the opporunity.
Seaford were centimetres from opening the scoring on 14 minutes when Canavan's splendid curling effort crashed down off the bar before hitting Berry on the back, and the Core keeper managed to grab the ball before it crossed the goalline or was forced over the line by the onrushing Sam Browne.
The hosts' best chance of the half fell to Jack Cronin, who met a big diagonal ball with a side-foot volley, but steered it just past the far post.
Seaford hit the front early in the second half when O'Neill got on the end of David Higgins's free kick and made no mistake from close range. It was almost two minutes later when Darragh Connolly ran on to a long pass from Fionn Lawlor, but Berry did brilliantly to deny him, and Higgins was unable to find the net with the rebound.
The visitors were still creating the best chances. Twice Higgins picked out Andy Roe on the right wing, twice Roe burst into the danger area, but his first attempted cross was claimed by Berry and his second was almost inch-perfect, with Canavan just unable to tap in from close range.
Core introduced star striker Stephen Kinch off the bench, and he was the architect of their equaliser, running at the Seaford defence and firing a low shot off the near post, and David Glennon pounced to force the ball over the goalline.
Seaford went straight up the other end and were agonisingly close to retaking the lead when Canavan laid yet another right-wing ball across the six-yard line, but this time it was Oli Wright, at full stretch, who couldn't quite get the right connection from point-blank range.
Instead, it was another Inchicore substitute, Joel Sala, who was the match-winner volleying in a right-wing cross with five minutes to play.
The win moves Inchicore into the promotion spots at Seaford's expense, but the navy blues will have the opportunity to leapfrog their hosts by winning games in hand.

10 million Yemenis in need of food
by Daily Sabah with Wires

Conflict in Yemen is disrupting the crop planting season and threatens to create food shortages as the war-stricken country eats into its cereal reserves, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said on Wednesday.
Yemen's cereal stocks stood at around 860,000 tons when Saudi-led air strikes against Iran-allied Houthi rebels started, enough for three to four months, FAO Assistant Director-General for North Africa and the Near East, Abdessalam Ould Ahmed, said. The cereals were mostly wheat, but also included rice and maize, he said.
"We are very much concerned by the fact that this country may not be able to sustain imports while reserves of food are shrinking as conflict drags on," Ould Ahmed said by telephone. More than 10 million Yemenis lack adequate food supplies and nearly five million are facing an emergency, FAO said.
Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East, hit by political instability and intermittent violence, is now facing a major humanitarian crisis, with 15.9 million people in the country in dire need of humanitarian assistance.

Verge Loves: GOD OF WAR 4
by Taye Rowland-Dixon
On the 28th April 2018, the fourth instalment of Sony's astonishing and exclusive series, 'GOD OF WAR' was released on PS4. The game offers stunning and detailed graphics creating a unique world to fight and explore as Kratos alongside his son Atreus.
The story picks up years after Kratos sought his revenge against the Olympian gods; Kratos now lives in a savage land inhabited by Norse gods, and is attempting to teach his son how to survive and thrive in a dangerous world. He also is learning what it means to be a father at a moderate process that occurs over the course of the game. Kratos is distant, self-contained and peppery in the beginning, but he slowly opens up to Atreus. The new god of war is an excellent game, lovingly crafted and engaging all the way through.
The most rudimentary, and immediately recognizable, change is to the game's camera. The original series was expound by its camera angles, which were correctly hand-placed by SIE Santa Monica Studio, to always frame the game's action in a particular way. GOD OF WAR's world is enormous set aside at 30 hours to explore it but it is devoid of the busy work that spreads comparably committed games. Every digression from the main story is an adventure rather than a task, making exploration worth your while for more than the treasure earned.
Afterall if you're a longtime fan or new to the GOD OF WAR series, you'll likely come away impressed with how this game manages to be much more than just a bloodfest filled with other-worldly monsters, all while managing to maintain the gameplay aspects that will make you fall in love with GOD OF WAR.

Would you like to lead the way in taking chemistry from the laboratory into production? As a chemical engineer it is your job to find out how a new product—such as a new drug—can be mass-produced economically and with as little environmental impact as possible. Companies around the world are increasingly focusing on efficient production, optimal energy efficiency, high product quality and environmental considerations. This is where you can make a difference as a chemical engineer.
In Chemical and Bio Engineering you learn to use foundational chemistry and biochemistry knowledge to solve interdisciplinary and technical issues. You learn to select appropriate analysis methods to understand a problem, and to use systematic and statistical methods to process the analysis results. You also learn how to use your chemical and biotechnical knowledge to develop sustainable technical solutions.
During the study programme you will learn to translate your knowledge into practice, and there are theme-based projects each semester that are often carried out in cooperation with Danish and foreign companies.
As a Chemical and Bio Engineering student you will experience a form of teaching whereby project work is integrated into the theoretical subjects—chemistry, biotechnology and technical chemistry—and there is cohesion between the various subjects and projects each semester. During semesters 1 and 2 you will be introduced to the field of chemical engineering through project work, and work with concrete projects from companies.
During semesters 3 and 4 the technical subjects will be in focus. You will learn the basic principles of process design and work with biochemistry and biotechnology. You spend semester 5 doing an internship in a company, and in semesters 6 and 7 you tune your profile through electives. The study programme ends with your BEng project, which is often done in collaboration with a company.
As a chemical engineer the whole world is your workplace and your field of work is a broad one, covering everything from operation and process development to product development, consultancy, inspection and management. You will also be able to work in project groups, and communicate your results—both verbally and in writing. Most chemical engineers work for chemical and biotech export companies or in the pharmaceutical industry. Some start their own companies, for example as consultants.
Please go to the Danish website to learn more about the BEng programmes at DTU.


It's interesting to me that every time I read articles and newsletters about leadership, I find references to how true leaders treat their employees with respect and dignity, value their opinions, and ask for their feedback. When we feel treated fairly, we are better disposed towards others. A company culture spills onto the experience you have of its customer service.
When the whole organization stands behind the people who have direct contact with customers, you can tell the difference. Two of the companies I wrote about in previous posts, ING Direct and the risk management consulting firm, are examples of organizations that stand behind their promise to customers. Other organizations sort of get it, but fail to recognize when they have a good deal going.
How do you recognize a good deal when you have it?
She is that customer service rep who will bug you in the hallway and follow you into your office until you give her an answer. That might be quite annoying at times, but remember: she is representing your customer. She has promised to get back to them with an answer and she will. Period. And, by they way, be prepared to negotiate with her because she'll do her best to get what the customer wants.
– She has specific ideas of how to improve internal processes to provide a faster response to your customers.
– She can describe to you in detail what good service means to your customers.
– She can enroll everyone in the organization to help her provide your customers with a superior experience.
What do you need to do to find her inside your organization? Look for the one who shows commitment, creativity, and listening skills — now go ahead and reward her. Note that I wrote commitment, and that is very different from compliance. And remember I wrote she might already be in your employ, yet you failed to recognize it.
Do you know how many orders companies lose because their calls are passed around from person to person, from department to department? That's what I thought. Now if you really think you want a customer service champ, look inside first. If you cannot find her, ask yourself how you reward and recognize those who go whole hog for customers.

Designing Safety Regulations for High-Hazard Industries
Cary Coglianese and Thomas R. Menzies
Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email Print
New National Academies of Sciences report offers much-needed clarity about regulatory design decisions.
Tweet Share Post Email Print Link
Governments have long regulated the safety of industries engaged in hazardous activities. Safety regulation aims to ensure that industries can continue to provide their vital goods and services but without imposing undue risk of harm to workers, the public, and the environment. How can regulatory officials best design their regulations to achieve these aims?
Various regulatory designs offer different advantages and disadvantages, depending on the circumstances under which they are applied. To make smart decisions, regulators need a clear conceptual framework about their design options and about the conditions under which different designs will work best. Such a framework can be found in a new report issued under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
The U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration asked the National Academies to convene a committee to examine key factors that are relevant to government safety regulators as they choose among regulatory designs, particularly for preventing low-frequency, high consequence events. These safety regulations are often scrutinized after an incident occurs, but even then their effectiveness can be inherently difficult to assess when their main purpose is to reduce catastrophic failures that are rare to begin with. Nevertheless, although safety regulation cannot prevent all harmful incidents, regulators need to have confidence that the regulatory designs they choose are well suited to the particular circumstances in which those designs are applied. Regulators must also be able to provide a reasoned basis for their choices to policy makers and the public.
Regulators can design their regulations in several ways. One distinction focuses on the point at which the regulation intervenes in a causal chain that leads to the ultimate catastrophic risk. For example, regulations can target at a micro-level by imposing requirements on firms to mitigate specific contributors to risks. Or they can regulate at a more macro–level by focusing their requirements less on individual risk contributors and more on mitigating overall risk.
In addition to having a micro- or a macro-level emphasis, regulations can also be designed to specify the means that firms must use or the ends they must achieve.
To provide much-needed conceptual clarity over regulatory design choices, the National Academies' committee focused on the salient design features that follow from the macro-micro and means-ends distinctions. These features suggest four basic regulatory design types: micro-means, micro-ends, macro-means, and macro-ends.
The impetus for the committee's report, one that suffuses the debate about how best to regulate high-hazard industries, is growing interest in macro-means regulations—that is, regulations that require firms to establish management systems to identify, prioritize, and mitigate their safety risks.
Often contrasted with "prescriptive" or micro-means regulations, and sometimes mislabeled as "performance-based," management regulations are more aptly described as having a macro-means design. They require firms to address overall risk—that is, at a macro-level—by using the specified means of a management system. Under this regulatory design, firms are required to develop internal plans and manage organizational- and system-level processes that focus managers' attention on catastrophic risk. Notably, these management regulations do not require firms to achieve specified ends, or performance outcomes, such as a demonstrable reduction in the risk of major incidents. Such an outcome would be particularly difficult to demonstrate when regulations are intended to prevent catastrophic failures, given their complexity and rare occurrence.
Informed by academic research as well as by insights from case studies of the regulatory regimes of four countries governing two high-hazard industries, the committee's report concludes that macro-means regulations can serve a valuable purpose by addressing risks that are complex and context-specific, as is characteristic of low-frequency, high-consequence events. How well these regulations serve this purpose, however, will depend on a number of factors, including the details of how the regulation is structured, the capabilities of the regulator in supporting and motivating compliance, and the capacity of the regulated firms to plan, assess, and act in ways that fulfill the purpose of the regulation.
Any decision to use macro-means regulation must consider the regulator's own ability to enforce and motivate compliance through methods such as auditing and field inspections. It should also take into account the capacity of regulated entities to meet their obligations. If these preconditions are missing or cannot be created, regulators should be concerned that this management style of regulation will be less effective than desired.
Unfortunately, for many years regulatory professionals have placed too much emphasis on ambiguous and often misleading labels such as "performance-based" and "prescriptive," and they have gravitated toward simplistic lists of generic advantages and disadvantages of regulatory design types. Only by clarifying design concepts and explaining how specific circumstances can affect each design's advantages and disadvantages can regulators of high-hazard industries make more informed and better articulated regulatory choices.

Is Inheritance Split in a Texas Divorce?
By Cindy Chung
coeur brisé image by Nath Photos from Fotolia.com
Couples considering divorce in Texas should learn about the state's marital property laws and the court procedures for division of property upon divorce. If one spouse has received an inheritance, she may worry that a Texas court would split the inherited property with her spouse. Texas law, however, generally treats inheritances as a spouse's separate property unless certain circumstances exist. Each spouse may wish to consult with a Texas lawyer about property rights during divorce.
Texas Marital Property Laws
Texas follows the community property system when identifying and dividing a couple's marital property. Texas family law courts presume that property and debts accumulated during a couple's marriage belong to both spouses as community property. If the couple divorces, each spouse can try to rebut the presumption of community property by submitting clear and convincing evidence that the property should be classified as separate.
Spouse's Inheritance as Separate Property
In contrast to community property owned by both spouses, each spouse can also own separate property, which a spouse acquires before marriage or during marriage through a gift or inheritance. Texas courts will generally presume that an inheritance is one spouse's separate property, unless the other spouse can prove otherwise. Spouses may consider a premarital agreement or marital property agreement if one spouse receives an inheritance and has concerns about keeping the inheritance as separate from the couple's community property.
Division of Property During Divorce
During divorce, the spouses must decide how to divide their property. If they cannot agree on a marital settlement, Texas law allows the court to divide their community property and debts, as long as the division is "just and right." The judge usually considers many factors, including whether the couple has children, each spouse's separate assets and each spouse's fault in causing the divorce. However, the court does not divide separate property; each spouse retains his separate property.
Commingling Issue
If one spouse receives separate property through inheritance, a legal issue may arise if the spouse commingles the inheritance with marital assets. "Commingling" means that the couple has mixed community property and separate property. If the couple divorces, a spouse may need to prove that the commingled inheritance should retain its character as separate property through tracing or accounting. If the spouse cannot adequately identify the separate inherited assets, Texas law may treat the inheritance as community property, which the court could potentially split between the spouses.

Localization and Quantitation of Blood-Retinal Barrier Breakdown in Experimental Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
Noburo Ando, MD; Harsha A. Sen, MD; Bruce A. Berkowitz, PhD; et al Charles A. Wilson, MD; Eugene de Juan Jr, MD
From Duke University Eye Center, Durham, NC (Drs Ando, Sen, Wilson, and de Juan) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC (Dr Berkowitz). Drs Berkowitz and Wilson are currently with the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas; Dr de Juan is now at The Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md; Dr Ando has returned to the Department of Ophthalmology, Niigata (Japan) University; and Dr Sen is now at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Kentucky, Lexington.
Objective: To determine the contribution of the break-down of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) as measured with magnetic resonance imaging in the development of retinal detachment in an experimental model of proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
Methods: Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate BRB breakdown in an intravitreal cell-injection model of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Intravitreal injection of 2.5×105 homologous dermal fibroblasts produced specific disruption of the inner, or vascular, BRB.
Results: Breakdown of the BRB was greatest in the first 3 days after injection, confirming previous work using fluorescein-based methods. Injection of 1 mg of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide at the time of cell injection significantly reduced both BRB breakdown and the incidence of eventual traction retinal detachment. Eyes that did develop detachment had significantly greater leakage prior to its development than those that did not, regardless of steroid treatment.
Conclusions: Quantitation and definitive localization of BRB leakage with magnetic resonance imaging provides a better understanding of the relationship between BRB compromise and the development of retinal detachment in this frequently used model.

SIR:-Yours of the 8th, in answer to mine of the 2d instant, is just received. Assuming that you, upon the ground, could better judge of the necessities of your position than I could at this distance, on seeing your proclamation of August 30 I perceived no general objection to it. The particular clause, however, in relation to the confiscation of property and the liberation of slaves appeared to me to be objectionable in its nonconformity to the act of Congress passed the 6th of last August upon the same subjects; and hence I wrote you, expressing my wish that that clause should be modified accordingly. Your answer, just received, expresses the preference on your part that I should make an open order for the modification, which I very cheerfully do. It is therefore ordered that the said clause of said proclamation be so modified, held, and construed as to conform to, and not to transcend, the provisions on the same subject contained in the act of Congress entitled "An act to confiscate property used for insurrectionary purposes," approved August 6, 1861, and that said act be published at length with this order.

This claim location in the Sawtooth Mountains is not far from where Levi Smiley set up his first mine in 1878.
Private Idahos
Modern-day mining claims By Bryant Dunn
Literally and figuratively, Levi Smiley was not alone. As he led a group of pioneering prospectors into the Sawtooth Mountains in the spring of 1878, thousands of other men like Smiley were adventuring into the most rugged and remote reaches of the Rocky Mountain range. And the focus of their endeavors was one and the same.
But discovering the quartzite veins which were home to lodes of the precious metal—in addition to silver, copper, zinc, tungsten and lead—wasn't the only return they hoped to garner through their herculean effort. The gold diggers of the time also thirsted for adventure and the desire to live a life defined by hard work, freedom of movement and the single word that is perhaps the most emblematic of the time: Eureka!
Once miners had discovered a promising find of the appropriate geology, their next move was to file a mining claim on the land, a legal protection codified in the General Mining Act of 1872. Claims were generally filed at the county courthouse, often a perilous journey in itself, and recorded, so that redundancy was avoided, a public record of patented and unpatented claims was established and the occurrence of gunfights over the rights to dig was minimized.
Generally speaking, the system worked well and remains in place today. However, in the modern-day world, breaking one's back for the promise of precious metals has become primarily a hobby endeavor for those with a desire to reconnect to their pioneer impulses or spend retirements panning for the odd gold flake while enjoying the privacy and natural beauty of the surrounding wilderness.
In many cases, the mining claims of today are being used by their owners for purposes utterly disconnected from the prospecting roots that led to their establishment. These petite islands of private land are now utilized as personal refuges, basecamps for recreational endeavors or maintained as a continuation of a family's connections with the land and industry that helped to define their identity for generations. As a result, this evolution of use begs the question: in the modern day, what is the value of a mining claim?

"I find it to be priceless," said Cory Smith, partner in the Sunbeam and Pride of the West claims nestled in central Idaho's Sawtooth mountains not far from where Levi Smiley and his gang originally set up shop. "It's pretty all the time. I can be there in 45 minutes from Ketchum and then am totally secluded. It's a summer camp feeling."
But Smith's connection to the claims goes beyond a "let's go play in the woods" mentality. "There is a pride of ownership," Smith stated genuinely. "You want to improve the land around it and make it a better place." Smith's father was the mill foreman at the local mine in his original hometown of Silverton, Colorado.
Smith's claim, known now as Wintertux, boasts a sturdy, recently constructed log cabin built from the surrounding Douglas fir that blankets much of the mountainsides. A small alpine stream meanders past the rustic edifice and wildflowers grow ubiquitously throughout the summer months before the August freeze sets in at the 8000-foot elevation. An old mill site resides nearby and many other claims pepper proximal drainages.
Smith, his business partner Scott Robinson and their friends use Wintertux as a base-camp for backcountry skiing adventures in the winter and mountain biking in the summer. Though originally developed for mining the rich ore beneath the mountains, the claim now serves as a headquarters to mine the powder and corn snow that falls upon the surrounding peaks.

Wintertux is a combination of patented mining claims. Patented claims are mining claims that were filed in a manner that results in the private property rights being transferred from the U.S. government to a private individual or entity. If your claim is patented, you own the dirt. Unpatented claims allow mineral recovery rights to the claimant but do not include the rights associated with private land ownership.
In 1994, during the first Clinton administration, the process of patenting claims was discontinued, but existing patented claims retained their private land standing and were thus grandfathered in. This law remains in effect, though the current or any future administration could overturn it. Therefore, patented claims are a limited commodity and can bring a hefty sum to the sellers of such private land.
Concurrent with Smiley's 1878 sojourn was an uprising of Native Americans in a sparsely inhabited prairie 40 miles to the south. When a courier alerted Smiley and his gang of the beginnings of what would later be referred to as the Bannock War of the Camas Prairie, the mining camp disassembled and headed for perceived safer ground in Challis, 50 miles to the northeast.
Mining had many challenges in those days and, at that time, the wilds had native human populations roaming them, not all of whom received the miners in a kindly fashion. The following year, Smiley nevertheless returned to stake more claims and soon the communities of Sawtooth City and Vienna (pronounced Vy-ee-nah) sprung up.
Sawtooth City was located approximately 3 miles west of a conglomeration of summer homes, which today is referred to by the same name. The boomtown grew to a population of 250 by 1881. Vienna, at its height, featured some 250 buildings, including 14 saloons, six restaurants, three general merchandise stores, a Chinese laundry and blacksmiths' shops. The two towns maintained a heated rivalry that was often expressed through fisticuffs and other more violent conflagrations.
By 1887, the silver deposits that had drawn Smiley and those who followed were essentially played out and by the end of the First World War there was little sign that the towns had ever existed except for broken glass, a weathered cemetery and a few decrepit mining artifacts strewn throughout the flowered valleys.
The boom, as is the history of so many mining encampments, had gone bust.
In 1873, a few years prior to the development of the original Sawtooth City and Vienna, a pioneer from New Brunswick found himself with shovel in hand standing on the bank of Jordan Creek up the Yankee Fork drainage of the Upper Salmon River. John G. Morrison had traveled long and far to reach his personal Shangri-la. When he discovered a respectable lode of ore, he immediately sent word for his five nephews to join him from eastern Canada.
The Steen brothers were of Scottish and Irish heritage, as were many pioneers of that day. They were accustomed to hard work and arrived ready to dig. After working on Jordan Creek for several years, the family purchased the Yellow Jacket mine, a short distance to the northeast in 1888. This mine, once boasting a 60-stamp mill—the largest in the country at the time—became a vibrant backcountry boomtown and is owned by the Steen family to this very day.

The Yellow Jacket is an excellent example of a patented claim that has remained with its owners for generations even though active mining has long since faded from the equation. "There was return in the early days, but, otherwise, it was primarily a bust," Alison Steen noted as she perused old family photographs on her antique kitchen table.
"It was all about speculation and acquisition then. That's where the money was made. The old man with the gold pan is a very brief chapter in the history of most mines as the buying and selling of claims was the real business in those days," Steen offered.
"The Yellow Jacket has cost a life in every Steen generation," Steen reminisced. "Silicosis (black lung disease), mining accidents, dedication to a mine that didn't produce enough return to be profitable. But it's what I know. I grew up on it."
When asked how many generations of her family have been connected to Idaho and the Yellow Jacket mine, she began to count fingertip to fingertip. Shortly, she moved to extend the fingers of her second hand. "Seven," she proudly reported. "There are still multi-generational families with patented claims in the backcountry. Families have hung on for generations," she continued. "There is a strong and lasting tradition, an inseverable connection to the land regardless of how far away people move or how much time passes."
Seven generations of the Steen family have been connected to Idaho and the Yellow Jacket mine, including Granny French, seen here with five great grandchildren.
Steen smiled as she recounted the stories of her grandmother and great-grandmother, Harriet French Steen and Catherine French. "Eventually, as each woman grew older, they ultimately moved to Southern California to live with family once they were too far along to maintain the mine." On multiple occasions over the years, each went missing. "Inevitably, they were found at Yellow Jacket, gardening or tidying up, some 800 miles from home," Steen laughed. "It's where they wanted to be."
As far as the future of Yellow Jacket is concerned, Steen expects her 11-year-old daughter, A.J. (short for Annie-Mae June), eventually to take the reins based on a clear interest in and passion for the mine. "Many of the other members of my family didn't have the taste for the lifestyle the way my dad did, the way I do, the way my daughter does. Eventually, she'll be the one to carry on the tradition."
Though the pioneering days of Levi Smiley and his contemporaries are long past, even today deep connections exist between the mining claims of central Idaho and their stewards. Dotted throughout our surrounding mountains, some in the valleys that drain them and some on the summits themselves, privately owned islands of tailings, mine shafts, rusting machinery and an intense and rugged beauty supply their owners with a variety of purposes and uses.
In each of these various situations, a common connection to an important chapter of Idaho's human history exists, a volume that still provides varying value to the owners and an immediate, direct connection to their storied and pioneer pasts.

There is a joy in flying that I have never been able to get over. There is nothing like the feeling of sitting on an airplane at the beginning of a runway. As soon as the plane starts to move, excitement fills my body. First you hear the noise of the engine, then the plane starts to move faster and faster...when we are speeding along the runway, a smile crosses my face. Will we take off? What are the pilots thinking right now? Exactly how long is this runway? Then, in an instant, we are off.
My flight out of Los Angeles started like any other. But, as we sped down the runway, I began thinking about all I am leaving behind and sadness went through me. I am leaving behind a job that I loved (though haven't truly had for 5 months), great coworkers, great friends, great family. I am flying away from my grandpa's funeral, but at the same time wondering if I should have just stayed for it.
There are hard decisions that have to be made when you live 7500 miles away from home. One of those decisions was when Ian's mom had a stroke and we just felt so far away at that moment. I am feeling that way again about not being at my Grandpa's funeral. With the technology of today (unlimited international calling, emails, good 'ole snail mail, video chat) it makes me feel close to home even when I am not. But, there are critical times when I just want to be home and can't. I know there will be more visits, more calls, more emails, but I hope that the people who are truly important in my life know how much I love them, think about them, wish I was with them and would be on a plane to them in a heartbeat if they asked.


A number of herpesviruses encode proteins that are similar to proteins of our immune system. These pirated proteins are exploited by the virus to enable it to replicate and persist in the infected individual, usually by evading or gaining advantage from the normal immune response. This project will investigate the role of one such protein found in both human and animal herpesviruses (specifically cytomegaloviruses (CMV)) that is conserved with cellular cell surface proteins (receptors) that bind immune signaling molecules (chemokines). Chemokines are important proteins in the early response to infection. Binding of chemokines to their receptors initiates a cascade of signals within the cell that has profound effects on cellular responses to environmental stimuli. Thus, it is believed that herpesviruses have acquired chemokine receptors to modify or react to the immune response, causing infected cells to behave abnormally either despite or in response to chemokine signals. This project will determine how this CMV specific protein affects the function of cells that CMV infects and how this may promote virus replication, dissemination and persistence in infected hosts. We will also engineer CMVs where the activity of the target protein can be inhibited by administration of prototype antiviral drugs. If inhibition of the activity of the protein is found to reduce virus replication, dissemination or persistence, then this will demonstrate that this type of protein would be a suitable target for the development of novel drugs active against CMV infections. CMV can cause serious (potentially life threatening) disease in newborn children (following infection in the uterus) and immunosuppressed people (eg. organ transplant recipients and people with HIV/AIDS). Our studies will improve our understanding of the contribution of a specific CMV protein to disease, thereby assisting efforts to reduce the impact of CMV infections.

Q: Deleting a substring from a data frame Python Hi guys I am new in Python and I would like to delete some characters from a row in a dataframe. The issue is that I have several countries and all of them have different information between parenthesis, so I have tried replace and some wildcards, but haven't worked at all.

Column 1
Country (Other info)
and would like to get just:

Column 1
Country

A: option 1
replace in Column 1
df['Column 1'].str.replace(r'\s*\(.*\)', '')

0    Country
Name: Column 1, dtype: object

option 2
get the whole df
df.stack().str.replace(r'\s*\(.*\)', '').unstack()

A: Another solution using .str.split() method:
DF:
In [29]: df
Out[29]:
                                  Column1
0                    Country (Other info)
1  Yet another country (yet another info)

Solution:
In [30]: df.Column1.str.split(r'\s*\(').str[0]
Out[30]:
0                Country
1    Yet another country
Name: Column1, dtype: object
