Rejection of transplanted organs: Long-awaited structure offers new insights
by National University of Singapore
The consequences of organ rejection in transplant patients can be devastating. Professor A. Vathsala, co-director of the National University Centre for Organ Transplantation at the National University Hospital (NUH) and professor of medicine, says that between 30 percent to 40 percent of kidney transplants are lost over time to rejection. She and Associate Professor Paul MacAry of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at NUS Medicine recently collaborated on addressing one major clinical problem at NUH's NUCOT: how to make transplanted organs last longer.
Introducing an organ from a donor into a recipient almost always leads to the recipient's immune system mounting an immune response to the new organ. Transplant (or graft) rejection can be categorised into two main types: cell-mediated rejection and antibody-mediated rejection. Cell-mediated rejection, which occurs more commonly within the first year after a transplant, is caused by immune cells called T cells attacking the transplant. This type of rejection responds well to treatment with non-specific immunosuppressants such as steroids.
The more difficult issue for transplant patients is antibody-mediated rejection, which causes chronic rejection. Antibodies in the transplant patient bind to a molecule called human leukocyte antigen (HLA) on the transplanted donor organ and stimulate an inflammatory response involving either immune cells or the complement pathway. One major problem in transplantation is the difficulty in diagnosing and predicting antibody-mediated rejection. Moreover, doctors only find out that rejection has occurred when a graft starts to fail and they perform a biopsy.
"We found that up to 20 percent of patients had antibodies against their donors. Just because a patient has antibodies doesn't mean they are going to have a rejection. Although many transplant patients have antibodies, not all antibodies are harmful and to date there is not a good way to predict which antibodies are actually harmful," said Prof Vathsala.
Another, bigger problem is that there are no effective treatments for antibody-mediated rejection. Such patients with antibody-mediated rejection will require re-transplantation with a fresh organ, which is challenging, given the shortage of donor organs. Hence, antibody-mediated rejection is a major challenge in organ transplantation and presents an ideal target for pushing the envelope on transplant outcomes.
A critical step in antibody-mediated rejection is the binding of antibodies in a transplant recipient to the donor HLA molecule. These antibodies are called alloantibodies. However, until now, the mechanism by which these antibodies bind to HLA was not known. In a paper published online in Nature Communications on 21 February 2019, Assoc Prof MacAry, Prof Vathsala, along with collaborators from Nanyang Technological University and Oxford University, announced the first high-resolution crystal structure of the alloantibody-HLA interaction.
The alloantibody (shown in pink and blue) binds to a site at the base of the HLA-A*11:01 molecule (shown in white and green). This site is removed from the binding sites of T cells (T cell receptor shown in orange and CD8 co-receptor shown in blue); NK cells (NK cell receptor shown in yellow); and peptides. Credit: Paul A. MacAry
At this resolution (2.4 angstroms), the researchers were able to glean several important insights. Firstly, they identified two amino acids in HLA (aspartic acid at position 90 and arginine at position 14) that were critical for the antibody-HLA binding. Secondly, they found that the antibody bound to a site at the bottom of the HLA protein, some distance away from the sites at which peptides, T cells and natural killer cells bind to HLA. This finding was surprising because it indicated that the inflammatory response stimulated by the antibody was independent of the interactions of peptides or immune cells with HLA.
"What was interesting is that the antibody binds to the side of the [HLA] molecule," explained Assoc Prof MacAry. "What this allows you to do is design inhibitors that are going to obstruct the interface because if you stop the antibodies binding, you stop those antibodies from engendering the immune attack."
In fact, the team showed that one form of the antibody (a subclass called IgG4) bound to the HLA protein without causing an inflammatory response. Since these antibodies are able to reduce inflammation by binding to HLA and preventing other antibody subclasses from binding, they could be developed as therapies for prevention or treatment of antibody-mediated rejection.
According to Professor Kathryn Wood, Emeritus Professor of Immunology at the University of Oxford and the Khoo Oon Teik Professor of Surgery at NUS Medicine, who was an advisor for the project and a co-author on the Nature Communications paper, this is a "landmark study that all groups around the world will take note of. It's really a first in this field."
The crystal structure is of just one type of HLA called HLA-A*11:01, which is common amongst Chinese and the most common type in Singaporeans. In the next three to five years, the team hopes to solve the structures of all other HLA molecules that are common in Asians.
Prof Vathsala described the project as a serendipitous collaboration of basic science and clinical research to solve a longstanding problem in the clinic. "We [at NUH] have a wonderful campus in our backyard where we can meet with experts from Microbiology and Immunology. The project grew out of a chance tea where Paul and I met and said, 'Let's solve this problem and look at the structural aspects of antibody and antigen.'"

Ben Affleck Confirms Deathstroke Will Be the Villain in Upcoming 'Batman' Movie
by Emma Loggins
in Featured, Movie News, Movies
Ben Affleck has confirmed Deathstroke will be the villain in the upcoming Batman movie.
Affleck – who played the Dark Knight in this year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – is to direct the forthcoming standalone project and he has shared a clip of the superhero's latest foe.
He posted a short video on Twitter of the character, who is also known as Slade, walking towards the camera looking menacing.

— Ben Affleck (@BenAffleck) August 29, 2016
A source has confirmed to The Wrap that Deathstroke will be the main antagonist of the standalone Batman movie, which is as-yet untitled. Fans have also started speculating that DC Comics supervillain Mr. Freeze could make an appearance in the upcoming movie as at the end of Affleck's clip he panned out to a Titan Cool portable air conditioner.
One wrote: "Everyone's freaking out about Deathstroke but what about the Mr Freeze reveal at the end? (sic)"
Deathstroke was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez and first appeared in DC Comic The New Teen Titans #2 in 1980.
The character has a grudge against Green Arrow but his original enemy was the Teen Titans.
He has also gone up against Batman on several occasions in DC Comics following their first duel in 1991's City of Assassins story, in which Deathstroke badly beat up the Dark Knight.
Slade/Deathstroke has also appeared on The CW's TV series Arrow, and creator Marc Guggenheim recently revealed the character was involved in "another DC project".
When asked why the villain hadn't returned to 'Arrow', he wrote on tumblr: "The character of Slade Wilson is currently tied up in another DC project. Walter is more likely."

Tobacco Control Research Group (TCRG)
Background: In line with the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) Article 13, the advertising and promotion of tobacco products is increasingly restricted. However, popular media continues to pose an exposure risk to youth populations (aged 13-18 years), including in low/middle-income countries (LMICs). This study presents a novel method to record the prevalence of tobacco depictions in streamed media content and the characterisation of that content. Objectives: Evaluate the frequency and characterisation of tobacco depictions in streamed content in LMICs. Methods: Presence of tobacco depictions was evaluated in the four most in-demand series across 10 LMICs for the year 2019; this list included series that were released from 2017 onwards (2017-2019). Each character identified using tobacco was coded against 13 characterisation variables that recorded key demographic information as well as contextual information. Results: The majority of series (72%, 13 of 18) analysed contained at least one depiction of tobacco use. 38% of tobacco depictions (359 of 941) occurred in content deemed suitable for audiences aged 15 years and up. 113 characters were depicted using tobacco across 38 episodes. 'Star' actors, featuring in opening credits with active profiles on the Internet Movie Database, accounted for 73% of tobacco-using characters (83 of 113). 5% of characters depicted using tobacco (6 of 113) were coded as minors (under 18 years). Conclusion: The continued prevalence of positively characterised tobacco content in youth-focused streamed content that is in high demand in LMICs poses a risk as a driver of smoking uptake in youth populations. There is an urgent need to better enforce tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship legislation in LMICs, and to update WHO FCTC guidance in line with rapidly evolving media platforms and content that is available internationally.

Is OBEDIENCE to God Required for Salvation?
Can a Christian DISOBEY God and still be saved?
THIS IS a lawless age! Everywhere, it seems, the spirit of disobedience and rebellion is sweeping society. Even from the pulpits you hear preached that Jesus Christ abolished His Father's LAW — that it is not necessary to OBEY God any longer!
It is time we looked into the Bible to see what it really says.
One famous passage often quoted — or MISquoted — is found in II Corinthians 3. From this chapter people carelessly assume that Paul taught that the Ten Commandments were abolished — that we can go ahead and disobey them and still be saved — that if we obey them we are cursed.
Open your Bible to this important chapter — II Corinthians 3.
The Administration of Death — What Was It?
Almost no one really understands the meaning of "the ministration of death written and engraven in stones" (II Cor. 3). Let's study it.
What is this ministration — administering or executing — of the death penalty — which was engraved on stones!
Was Paul referring to the Ten Commandments! Were the Ten Commandments engraven in whole stones?
NO! The ten commandments were written on two tables of stone, but not on whole stones.
Then what was written in whole stones? Notice Deuteronomy 27:1-6. Moses commanded the children of Israel to set up great whole stones, and plaster them with plaster, and write upon them all the words of THE CIVIL LAW — the statutes and judgments — which he had just repeated to them. These statutes and judgments, based upon the ten commandments, are "righteous" (Psalm 119:7, 8). It is SIN to break them!
Included in the civil code was THE ADMINISTRATION of the death penalty for breaking THESE LAWS. THE ADMINISTRATION EMBODIED THE "EYE FOR EYE, TOOTH FOR TOOTH" PRINCIPLE (Deut. 19:21). Whenever any of these major laws were broken, the judges and Levites saw to it that the PENALTY of the law — death — was carried out. They were responsible for the ADMINISTRATION OF DEATH.
This was what Paul spoke of — not the ten commandments or the spiritual statutes and judgments which the people were to obey! Paul is writing about the ADMINISTRATION — or "ministration," to use the Old English word — of the DEATH PENALTY for breaking the law. The Scripture in II Corinthians 3 is not doing away with the laws which define sin, but with the ministration of the penalty of death by human judges.
The ten commandments are entirely separate and distinct from this administration. The ten commandments are spiritual laws which last forever (Ps. 111:7-8).
Because the principles of the ten commandments formed the basis of the civil statutes and judgments, a violation of these principles was punished by civil authority.
THE ADMINISTRATION OF DEATH WAS THE CIVIL EXECUTION OF PUNISHMENTS FOR VIOLATION OF THIS CIVIL LAW CODE WHICH MOSES SPOKE TO0 THE PEOPLE.
The administration of the civil government in ancient Israel reveals God's method of dealing directly with unconverted, fleshly, sinning people.
The government of Israel had church and state combined. It was a physical, flesh-born church or congregation. The administration of civil and religious statutes and ordinances was combined in ancient Israel.
Bear in mind that ancient Israel was not promised salvation at that time. All the promises under the old covenant were material, for this life (Lev. 26:3-12). Since those Israelites were not converted and did not have the Holy Spirit, they could not understand spiritual things. They were like most people today God dealt with them in a purely physical manner, punishing them for their crimes.
Perhaps some of these punishments seem rather harsh to us. But a careful study will reveal the all-wise purpose behind them. Such things as murder, kidnapping, and adultery were punishable by DEATH.
How well calculated these judgments are. They show evildoers the enormity of sin and crime!
Taking the life of one reprobate often saved the lives of many decent people. People today take sin — crime — lightly, but God wants us to FEAR to do wrong!
God gave Israel these penalties to teach them the awfulness of sin, and to show them that they must reap what they sowed. The judges were to administer DEATH — not life. It was a purely physical matter. Those Israelites did not understand spiritual things — and there was no opportunity of eternal life for them at that time.
The laws in ancient Israel were not to be carried out in accordance with human reason and influenced by unjustified anger. They were "of God." In II Chronicles 19:4-7, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, made the judges realize they were not judging for men, but for God. They were responsible to God alone! God promised to be "with them," guiding them in their decisions when they were executing His laws.
So we see that the decisions in Israel were NOT a matter of men judging one another according to human reason. Rather, they were determined by the laws from God. And in carrying them out, the judges were to be guided and inspired by God, were acting under His authority, and were responsible to Him alone!
These judgments were also given as an example to other nations of the blessings of a law-abiding society under God.
This was Gods way of showing the unconverted world the perfect civil laws it needs to have. It was a witness to the heathen nations of the wisdom and justice of the God of Israel (Deut. 4:5-8).
Do you see the vast difference between this and mere human government?
How quick and efficient was the punishment of evildoers!
The administration of death was instituted to show Israel the result of wrong conduct. It was part of the law code which was "added because of transgressions" (Gal. 3:19). Yes, this, the administration of death, IS well as the sacrificial laws, were "added" to God's immutable, spiritual laws — of which the ten commandments are the basis. But the administration of death was only to last "till the seed (Christ) should come."
The Ten Commandments, together with the spiritual statutes and judgments which magnify them, were never "added because of transgressions." If these laws were not already in existence there would have been no transgression — "Where no law is, there is no transgression" (Rom. 4:15). Abraham obeyed them long before Moses was born (Gen. 26:5). They stand fast "forever and ever" (Ps. 111:8).
Sacrificial laws for sins committed in ignorance and this civil administration were "added" because carnal-minded Israel didn't understand and wasn't able to keep the spiritual principles of the Ten Commandments. Without immediate physical punishments for wilful wrong-doing, crime and anarchy might have resulted!
These fleshly people needed physical judgments with "teeth" in them. And that's just what God gave them!
Remember that these Israelites were unconverted and had no promise of the Holy Spirit nr of eternal life under the Old Covenant. They could not earn salvation by works, any more than we can today! All their promises were only material promises for this life. The judges administered death, not life, to the people. As long as the nation as a whole obeyed God, there were no long drawn-out trials, no newspaper publicity, but the speedy operation of JUSTICE.
Two witnesses were required to convict a man of any crime (Deut. 19:15-21). The punishment for false witnesses was made so severe as to effectively discourage that practice.
Israelites did not pay taxes to keep convicts alive in association with other hardened criminals. How much our nation could learn from the wisdom and justice set forth in these laws! Our complicated bungling system of law enforcement seems rather pitiful when we compare its actual effectiveness to that of Israel. God's laws when enforced put a stop to crime and made men fear to do wrong!
It was God's purpose to replace the "administration of death." It was only to last "till the seed should come." After Israel and Judah were scattered and driven into captivity, the administration of Israel's civil government was impossible. There was no organized civil government in Israel — no law — enforcement machinery. In Christ's time, the Jews were living under a Roman governor and had no authority to administer God's civil laws.
At this time God sent Christ to introduce a new administration. — THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SPIRIT.
Why? Because the first administration gave only death for disobedience. Human judges could not impart eternal life; they could only minister death. What was needed was a new administration of the same laws — an administration which could give pardon and eternal life to those who repented and wanted to obey.
The promise of the Holy Spirit — the only hope of eternal life — was given to all believers for the FIRST TIME (Acts 2:37). Instead of administering the death penalty for sins, Christ, the Apostles, and his ministers today teach the people the way to eternal life. Christ's ministers "administer" life to mortal man.
All men are born mortal, subject to sin. We are in need of the Holy Spirit, the begettal of eternal life. We also need to quit sinning — breaking God's laws. We need the love that fulfills the law (I John 5:3; Rom. 5:5; 13:10). Unless we have that love which only the Holy Spirit can give, we sin, and the wages of sin is death — (Romans 6:23).
But what is sin? "Sin is the transgression of law" (I John 3:4). The law here spoken of is not the administration of death that was written on whole stones, The "ministration of death" functioned only as long as the civil government of Israel. This law which John mentions includes the basic spiritual law — Ten Commandments which were written on two tablets of hewn stone.
These are the commandments which "stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness" (Ps. 111:8). This law will last longer than heaven and earth (Mat. 5:18).
If you are a Christian, you are being judged by this perfect and just law!
"So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty" (James 2:12). This is the law which liberates us from sin; but if we break one point of it, we are guilty of all (verse 10).
Notice that Christians are to have God's spiritual law — the ten commandments — written in their hearts, not on tables of stone as under the old covenant! Paul shows right here that Gods law is not abolished — that it is "written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart" (II Cor. 3:3).
God's laws — His commandments, statutes and judgments — are to be in our hearts — we are to live them by the power of God's Spirit.
The ten commandments were not written on stones, nor abolished. Paul says that they were on "tables of stone," but the laws requiring the administration of the death penalty by civil judges were engraven on whole stones.
Since we by nature violate the ten commandments, we certainly need pardon — GRACE — and the supernatural power of the Spirit of God in us to fulfill them. Christ died to pay for our sins. He made it possible to receive the Holy Spirit from the Father. His ministers are to teach the people how to quit sinning and to gain eternal life — by administering or teaching the people how to be reconciled to the Father and receive the Holy Spirit.
Now do you see the difference? Ancient Israel under the Old Covenant only understood the letter of God's law. Being unconverted, most of them didn't even obey that. So God gave them civil laws which prescribed punishments.
Israel's judges punished transgressors by fines and death. Thus, it was called the "administration of death." It was necessary because Israel was a nation of unconverted people. However, it was only to last till Christ should come, who would introduce the spiritual administration to reconcile us to God.
Today, Christians are to forgive men of their trespasses (Mar. 6:24-15). We are not to avenge ourselves, but to rely on God's righteous judgment to punish those who violate His laws or harm us (Rom. 12:18-21).
Not fully knowing another's thoughts or intentions, it would be impossible to judge or condemn another (Mat. 7:1-2).
The penalty of DEATH is still in effect for those who break God's law! It is time for professing Christians everywhere to wake up and realize that God means business!
Hebrews 10:26-31 teaches us clearly and unmistakably that a far worse punishment will befall those who willfully trample on God's law than that which was visited on the fleshly Israelites. That punishment is eternal, everlasting DEATH.
The "ministration of death" in Israel was only a lesser, physical type of the eternal punishment — (eternal DEATH) — for refusing to obey God's law — once the knowledge of sin has come.
Let us learn the lesson from these examples that God intended, and quit trying to use human reason to justify our wrong deeds. Then we will reap the blessing of keeping God's laws, and live the abundant lives that He intended (John 10:10).
"Be not deceived: GOD IS NOT MOCKED: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Gal. 6:7).
DO YOU believe God's word?
Many of you have been trying to hide your eyes from God's law. You spend much time and effort in a vain attempt to excuse or justify breaking one of the commandments (Mat. 5:17-20).
Remember, (Mat. 5:17-20) that even the least commandment is still very much in force!
Have you been "postponing" obedience to God? Why?
Do you think that reason will stand up in the judgment?
God's word says that your reward for sin is DEATH (Rom. 6:23). Yes, in this case the Bible teaches CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Remember that this time God himself will carry out that punishment if you don't repent!
If you haven't done so already, you'd better take Peter's advice to "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38).
You will have to REPENT of breaking God's law. You will need to be baptized as an outward symbol of your willingness to bury your old, disobedient self. Then God will give you the Holy Spirit, through which you will receive the love to keep His law.
God loves you. He wants to give you eternal life!
But, in His wisdom, God has decreed that you must fist learn to live the right, the sensible, and the happy kind of life. God's eternal, spiritual laws — the Ten Commandments, together with the spiritual statutes and judgments, are the basis of that sensible way of life.

The Ile de la Cité holds the origin of Paris in its interior. It is the largest island of the Seine and this was where, 200 years BC, the Celtic tribe of the Parisii settled. The city they founded was called Lutetia. From then on and throughout the centuries, the city continuously grew and prospered.
Paris gradually became famous for the reputation of its boatmen, the owners of the small boats that plied the Seine. In 506 it was proclaimed capital of the kingdom ruled by Clovis. It was then when the island took on the name of Cité and was fortified. In this period it also to repel the attacks of Norman troops more than once, who visited the city but not with the idea of stopping for a coffee.
During the Middle Ages, the city was bursting with life. The population continued to grow and eventually surpassed the limits of the island, becoming established on the banks of the Seine. Paris became the political, cultural and spiritual centre of France and by extension, of all Europe. Its main monuments date from this period: the Royal Palace, which would later be the Conciergerie, Sainte-Chapelle and the cathedral of Notre Dame.
On its no more than 26 hectares of land, before the Revolution, the Ile de la Cité housed as many as twenty churches, four chapels, the palace of the Archbishop of Paris, two hospitals, four public squares, a library and was home to 15,000 inhabitants in less than 50 streets.
Such overcrowding meant that big urban planning reorganisation work had to be undertaken. Streets were made wider so that sunlight could enter and districts were knocked down that did not possess the minimum hygienic conditions.
Today, more than 5,000 people live on Ile de la Cité and on it you can visit the cathedral of Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, the Hotel de Dieu hospital, the Conciergerie, the High Court or the Police Station. If you lose yourself among its streets you might come out in one of its four squares: the Vert-Galant, the Dauphine, the Ile de France and Place Louis-Lépine. In this latter is the charming flower market, which fills with colour and fragrances all the year round.
If Paris can boast of one thing, it is that it has a lot of bridges. Of the 37 bridges in the entire city, 8 connect Ile de la Cité with the other banks of the Seine. One of them is the oldest bridge in Paris, the Pont Neuf, which crosses the island at its west end, joining the two banks of the river. Other bridges on the island are the Pont au Change, the Pont Notre-Dame, the Pont d'Arcole, the Pont Saint-Michel, the Petit Pont, the Pont au Doble and the Pont de l'Archevede.
The Pont de Saint-Louis joins the Ile de la Cité with another island, that of Saint-Louis, which is to the west behind Notre Dame. This island is very peaceful and has several luxury houses, conserving a certain provincial air.
We recommend you take a stroll around the area, as well as visiting two masterpieces such as Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle. It is a pretty and quiet spot to get away from the noise and traffic that floods Paris every day, and if you get the chance, go and see the flower market, one of the most famous in the city.

17 Things People Wrongly Believe About Getting Married Young
By Christy Yoder, October 8th 2014
Christy Yoder
In an age where individualism is glorified, where the only place we seem to see young marriages occurring is on 19 Kids and Counting, there are a lot of misconceptions about what being a young, married couple looks like. My husband and I got married at 22, and here are a few of the assumptions we've realized people commonly hold.
1. You shouldn't get married unless you're perfect on your own.
Barring the possibility that you're some sort of alien mutant, I can promise you this isn't true – not of any couple. Ever. No matter your age. It's not true of my husband and I. We're two super messy people who really, really like each other and our messiness, and we like being messy together, rather than on our own. It's not that we don't have issues, it's that he makes me better and I make him better. Imperfection is beautiful. It's reassuring. It's glorious. It's human.
2. You will lose yourself as an individual.
We've all known couples who lose themselves in their relationships – it happens. Your significant other should (hopefully) be a priority for you, you should also be a priority for you. Losing yourself is not inevitable.
Carve out time for yourself to do your own thing. Remember who you are. You are who your S/O fell in love with and you are the person you've spent your whole life with. Self-love and self-care are important. When you like yourself, it's contagious; vitality is catching. When you're happy, the one you love will notice and be happier too. This does nothing but lead to an energized relationship. (Promise.)
3. Marriage is boring, you shouldn't settle for it too soon.
Similarly: "you'll both become boring and then get bored with each other" (here I shall refer you to my previous point – you don't have to be boring, you awesome person, you.) The real issue here is that people assume the mystery is gone, and there's nothing new you'll discover once you begin to share every aspect of your life.
People think you'll get stuck in routines: the early morning rush out the door, watching Netflix on the couch 'til one or both of you pass out, etc. There's this fear that you will suddenly go from playing footsy under the table and sending flirty texts to sitting at opposite ends of the table and writing honey-do lists. It's not true! Marriage is an adventure that coexists with your own.
4. You'll spend the first year fighting.
The reason this misconception is so prevalent is because it's so easy for it to be true. Merging two lives together isn't easy, it's not supposed to be. Whether you've lived together before or not, the oneness of marriage brings out a whole new level of crazy. Something about the word, the institution, and just the fact of marriage makes everything a bigger deal than it was before – most people just assume the first year of marriage will be hell, and understandably so. My husband and I have had some rough times already in our first months of marriage, but it hasn't been hell.
5. You'll be missing out on a world of options out there; you're too young to really know what you want yet.
You're at an age where you're changing the most. You don't even know fully who you are just yet, so how could you know what — or more importantly, who — you want? The former part of that argument would only apply if you're the kind of person who wants to still be exploring what's out there (and that's a fine reason to stay single); the latter only applies if there's a particular age where you can point to where anyone would know exactly what they want.
We will spend the rest of our lives changing and morphing — that's what makes it interesting, that's what makes us interesting. I'm stoked I get to keep learning the intricacies of my husband as he changes through the years. It's weird and exciting. It's no better or worse than the 'other options.'
6. Your whole relationship must be based on the physical, you're incapable of genuine depth at this age.
This one is pretty prevalent in more conservative circles. We both grew up in the church, and a lot of times when couples get married super fast, people assume they just couldn't wait any longer to "do it." (Thats literally what they say. They won't even say the word.) Sex is a beautiful and incredible part of our relationship, obviously, but it was in no way the reason we got married so young.
7. Intimacy dies after you tie the knot.
No more spark, huh? That's what you think? (Wrong! Definitely wrong!) I can't explain it, really, but something about the fact that he is mine and I am his is absolutely intoxicating. The fact that I'm the only one who gets to know him intimately is breathtaking. The fact that he knows every part of me, every fear and joy, like and dislike, and that he pursues me and only me… it's just devastatingly romantic and sexy. Marriage intensifies the intimacy. If you feed it, if you pursue each other, if you refuse to let it fizzle, all it can possibly do is grow.
9. You'll lose all your friends.
When you get married, I hope you and your spouse either already are or will very quickly become best friends. I'm so lucky my best friend in the universe is the guy I wake up with every morning. So you may spend less time with others just because doing everything with your bestie is the best!
That being said though, being together has meant our pool of friends has grown. On top of that little perk, we still have our individual friends, of course. I still need my girls and he still needs his dudes. We know that, we allow each other to have that.
10. Because you're young and clueless, your relationship will ultimately end in divorce, no doubt.
I don't have a ton of evidence with which to back up this rebuttal, but this is what I do have: confidence. Most marriages end in divorce because marriage is sort of a joke to our generation (and apparently the generations before ours, too.) People don't take it seriously enough. People enter marriage as if it's no different than a dating relationship except for the insurance benefits. But it's supposed to be different: it's supposed to be the biggest commitment you ever make.
Most people go at marriage thinking that once it no longer suits them, for whatever reason, you can "break up." There's no backing out for us. No more break-ups possible. We are in this for the long haul. It's okay if that's not something you're comfortable with; it's not for everyone; marriage isn't for everyone. But I do believe that this kind of unconditional love and commitment is what it takes to make a marriage work.
No one will put their whole heart into something they think they can just leave at any given moment.
11. You must have been pregnant (or really wanted a baby like, ASAP).
How shall I say this? Um, HELL NO.
12. You'll lose your spontaneity, date nights will become a thing of the past. You'll turn into one of those 'old married couples' long before you should.
To speak to my own experience: In the past three months alone we've been on last minute road trips to New York three times, went to Philly for a secret show where we weren't even sure if the band we hoped was playing would actually be playing (spoiler alert: they WERE), went out to our favorite bar at midnight on a Sunday even though we both had work in the morning (just to be together out of the house), went for walks… the list could go on and on.
13. You'll lose the butterflies.
I still get goosebumps when he says my name. My pulse gets faster when he calls me in the middle of the day. I can't wait to get home and into his arms. His kisses leave me breathless… you get the idea.
14. You're too young to know each other well enough yet.
Okay, well. We met four years ago. We were best friends for a year and a half before dating. We dated for a year and a half before getting engaged. We were engaged for almost a year. I don't know how one would go about determining what "knowing each other well enough" would even look like, but I'm pretty sure that this assertion falls flat. Even if we didn't know each other well enough, why should that matter to you?
15. Marriage is glamorous… or rather, it should be.
Most of marriage is the nitty gritty, and that's the best part, in my book. It's about waking up with no makeup on, and my husband still thinking I'm the most beautiful person he's ever seen. It's forgetting to shower for a few days in a row but still loving the natural scent of his skin. It's doing dishes and farting and burping and taking out the trash and eating frozen dinners sometimes. But the best thing ever is being so comfortable with someone else that these little things become your favorite slices of time. Intimacy is incredibly freeing when it's with the one you love.
16. If it's not easy, it's not right.
Although your Facebook feed full of smiling faces and shiny rings might appear to suggest otherwise, marriage isn't a walk in the park like so many couples make it seem. It isn't all perfect Instagram photos at the beach and candlelit dinners on the floor of your new apartment (which, okay, we've done both of those things, but the point is that marriage is NOT an endless string of perfect moments.)
Marriage is having fights and arguments, but learning how to argue better and more lovingly. It's figuring out your budget. It's knowing hard times will come, but being committed to loving each other and working through everything, no matter what.
17. Marriage is hard, and that's why you should put it off for as long as you can.
Well yes, it takes work… but that doesn't mean it's the miserable kind of hard, or that you should sacrifice the wonderful things out of fear. It's the agonizing, slow burn of your muscles growing when you exercise. It's the satisfaction of being able to step back and look at a project you have pored over for so long. Marriage is hard in the sense that it takes commitment of the most strenuous sort and self sacrifice on every level. The most beautiful things usually take the most time, effort, and work.

Home Health COVID Update: NKY still in green zone, but newest report show fewer counties are; monkeypox up a bit
COVID Update: NKY still in green zone, but newest report show fewer counties are; monkeypox up a bit
Oct 22nd, 2022 · 0 Comment

Kentucky Today
The latest weekly COVID-19 Community Levels map, issued each Friday by the Kentucky Department for Public Health, saw a break in the month-long trend that had been showing weekly improvements.
The map, which is generated from data compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rates counties as having a low, medium, or high community level; by whether their color is green, yellow or red.
On the Oct. 21 map, 89 of Kentucky's 120 counties, including all of NKY, are now in the green, indicating a low community level of COVID. Twenty-seven others are yellow indicating a medium level, while four counties in eastern Kentucky are red, showing a high level.
Last week, there were 103 green counties, 16 yellow and only one in the red.
Gov. Andy Beshear continued to remind everyone to be current on their vaccinations.
"Get out there and get your booster, especially before Thanksgiving. You're going to get together, and we never want the holidays to make people sick. The new omicron booster not only works against what we are seeing right now, but the new omicron subvariants is out there, that are hitting other countries."
For more details on Kentucky's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, community levels, guidance and more, go to the state's website, http://kycovid19.ky.gov/.
The weekly monkeypox report from the Department for Public Health, meanwhile, showed a small rise in cases in Kentucky, rising from 63 last week to its current 65. For comparison, at the beginning of September, the statewide total was 31.
Jefferson County continues to have the most cases at 36, followed by Fayette with 9, Warren 4, Kenton 3, Boone and Christian each have had two, and one apiece in Barren, Floyd, Hardin, Hopkins, Jessamine, McCracken, Montgomery, Oldham, and Simpson counties. 64 of the 65 cases were found in men.
There have now been 27,835 monkeypox cases across the U.S., according to the CDC, along with four deaths. The worldwide total from the 2022 outbreak now stands at 75,166.
Weekly COVID-19 report shows decline in cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and positivity rate
KY records rise in COVID-19 cases, deaths over past week, decrease in hospitalizations, positivity rate
COVID numbers in state bounce up and down but nearly half of counties are at low level

Q: Integration Techniques - Adding [arbitrary] values to the numerator. Suppose you wanted to evaluate the following integral.

Where did the 4 come from? I understand that it makes the solution but how would you make an educated guess to put a 4? And how in the future would I solve similar questions?

A: We want to have a fraction with the form
$$\frac{f'}f$$
so since the derivative of the denominator $x^2+4x+13$ is $2x+4$ so we write the numerator
$$x-2=\frac 1 2 (2x-4)=\frac 1 2 (2x+4)-4$$

A: As Sami mentioned, the idea is to reduce to a fraction that will be of the form $\,f'/f,\,$ so it is the derivative of a log. In fact it is not difficult to reduce the integration of rational functions to their "logarithmic" parts, using an old algorithm that goes back to Hermite.  It works as follows. By  squarefree decomposing the denominator and partial fraction expanding, we reduce to integrating rational functions of the form $\rm\:A/D^k\in \mathbb Q(x)\:,\:$ where $\rm\:\deg\:A < \deg\:D^k,\:$ and where $\rm\:D\:$ is squarefree, so $\rm\:\gcd(D,D') = 1\:.\:$ Thus by Bezout's GCD Identity (extended Euclidean algorithm) there are $\rm\:B,C\in \mathbb Q[x]\:$ such that $\rm\ B\ D' + C\ D\ =\ A/(1-k)\:.\:$ Then a little algebra shows that
$$\rm\int \frac{A}{D^k}\ =\ \frac{B}{D^{k-1}}\ +\ \int \frac{(1-k)\ C - B'}{D^{k-1}} $$
Iterating the above rule we eventually reduce to the case $\rm\:k=1\:,\:$ i.e. squarefree denominator $\rm\:D\:.\:$
Thus using the above "quotient rule" and nothing deeper than Euclid's algorithm for polynomials (without requiring any factorization) one can mechanically compute the "rational part" of the integral of a rational function, i.e. the part of the integral not involving logarithms. This Hermite reduction rule is the basis of an algorithm due to Hermite (1872).  It plays a fundamental role in the transcendental case of some integration algorithms.

A: I believe $-4$ is the remainder of $\frac{x-2}{2x+4}$.  It's the only real significance.

Waco's Unfinished Legacy: Part 2 - The Waco Horror
By Stephen Sloan & Ezra Reilly • May 11, 2016

At the turn of the 20th century, much of the frontier mentality that Waco was founded on remained. At the time, in the early 1900s, Waco – the so-called "Wonder City" – was a sleepy, yet prosperous town with a population of about 30,000 people. It's estimated that half that amount, around 15,000, would gather to witness the "Waco Horror."
Around sundown on May 8th, Lucy Fryer, the white wife of a cotton farmer in nearby Robinson, was found clubbed to death, sprawled across the doorway of the farm's seed shed. It was a grisly scene that included signs of sexual assault. Officials determined a blunt instrument was used as the murder weapon. Suspicion fell almost immediately on Jesse Washington, an illiterate black teenager who, with his brother, had been working as a hired hand for the Fryers for several months.
By that evening, Washington was arrested.

He was found wearing a bloodstained undershirt and pants. After his arrest, Washington was moved to the jail in Hillsborough. McLennan County Sheriff Samuel Fleming did this after hearing rumors of mob violence, says local historian Rick Fair.
"In this initial interview they did with Jesse, he denied all involvement. He said, "I didn't do it." Throughout that night, that early morning of May 9th it seemed like there was some pressure from sheriff Fleming and the Hill County sheriff, a guy named of Fred Long", Fair says. "
"But eventually in the early morning of May 9th he confessed to raping and murdering Lucy Fryer."
William Munroe was the 54th district court's second judge. He presided over the trial of Jesse Washington.
It was only a week after the murder of Lucy Fryer that the trial of Jesse Washington began in a packed courtroom, presided over by Judge Richard Munroe, at McLennan County Courthouse. Jury selection and preliminary procedures went quickly and the prosecution's case included testimonies from the medical examiner, deputies, and an investigator. But before the trial even began, someone attempted to murder Washington in the courthouse and was eventually subdued.
For the defendant, only Washington himself took the stand, relating that he had nothing more to add.
After an estimated 4 minutes of deliberation, an all-white jury returned a guilty verdict.
In the wake of the verdict, the room erupted violently, and although accounts of what happened in the courtroom vary, ultimately, a group of men seized Washington and quickly exited the courtroom.
The iron staircase that Jesse Washington was dragged down rests behind the 54th district court dais. The stairs open into an alleyway, and as Washington and his captors emerged on the back stairs of the courthouse, they were met by a mob, people that that had gathered in downtown Waco for the trial.
Harold Lester Goodman, who witnessed the event as a teenager, remembered the event vividly in a 1977 conversation with the Baylor Oral History Institute.
"Yes, there was a lot of screaming and hollering and screams of 'get him, get him'", Goodman said. "And then there were screams of 'we've got him, we've got him.' It's—I've had some nightmares about it in my lifetime."
Next, a chain was thrown around Washington's neck and he was dragged to a site just outside city hall where others had gathered to construct a pyre. As the crowd pushed toward the location, individuals stepped out from the masses to attack Washington, tearing the clothes from his body, stabbing him with knives, and battering him with bricks, clubs and shovels. Soon, more and more began to join.
"There was a lot of screaming and hollering and screams of get him, get him. And then there were screams of we've got him, we've got him. It's something I've had some nightmares about it in my lifetime."
Kurt Terry, a graduate student at Stephen F. Austin State University, has researched the "Waco Horror. Terry says the crowd that gathered downtown began to swell in numbers.
"The mass of people is just building as they're going along, he's the center of the spectacle now," Terry says. "He's in the middle, and the only way, some reports say the only way you could see him if you were on the sidewalk and look over, because there's just so many people."
The chain used to drag Washington was then thrown over a tree, and his body doused in coal oil as he was raised and lowering into the flames. Some reports say this continued for an hour
As Washington's body burned, his body was further dismembered. Onlookers searched the ground for souvenirs, and some even took pieces of his body. By mid-afternoon, little was left of Washington – all that remained was a charred skull and torso.
At this point, Goodman – who had just turned 18 at the time – remembers as Washington's body was lasoed, pulled down and dragged throughout downtown

"No attempt was made to stop them from dragging his body. I supposed they figured the man was dead, and the authorities thought it would simply inflame the situation and create a real riot or something", said Goodman. "So they just let it die down."
Fred Glidersleeve – who documented much of Waco's history through his photography – took pictures of the lynching, and the photos remain some of the few documented instances of a lynching as it happened. At the time, some began to use the photographs as postcards. After Washington's remains were gathered, they were placed in a cloth bag and pulled out to Robinson where they were displayed outside a community blacksmith shop.
Later that afternoon, officials retrieved the remains and they were turned over for burial in an unmarked pauper's grave.
Soon, the news of the lynching of Jesse Washington had spread throughout the state and across the world, says Patricia Bernstein, author of "The First Waco Horror."
"Two days after the lynching, the story of Jesse Washington appeared in the Times of London – a one-line item, and I believe it was on the front page," Bernstein says.
In the days following the local paper deemed the lynching a "closed incident". Domestic coverage was varied, says Bernstein, as black newspapers admonished the event and others delivered editorials failed to condemn the horror.
"Of course there was a lot more extended domestic reaction, and the one that stayed with me is the Houston Chronicle, which published an editorial, which basically said – and I've never forgotten this – 'they did such a thing in the cultured, reputable city of Waco, men will say why should not we do likewise'", Berinstein said.
The story of Jesse Washington along with Gildersleeve's pictures was also printed in "The Crisis" – the magazine for the NAACP. The group had sent Elizabeth Freeman, a young white woman, to investigate and report on the event. Freeman's findings became part of the NAACP's national campaign for anti-lynching legislation.
For Locals -- both black and white – the lynching of Jesse Washington wasn't a "closed case" after all, it's legacy would echo through the next hundred years.

Julian has set a target of $27,000 to raise for SmileHigh or $1 for every foot that he climbs on Manaslu.
Julian has been involved with oral health aid in Nepal since 2003. In 2004 Julian successfully climbed Mt Everest and launched a dental project to reduce the significant dental problems he had observed in the Sherpa children of the Everest region. The project has grown and is now known as SmileHigh. In August this year Julian will first lead a SmileHigh dental mission in conjunction with the United Nations World Food Program to Samagon a very remote village at the foot of Manaslu. After the ten day dental mission Julian will join Russell Brice's Himex expedition to climb Manaslu.
Every $50 donated receives a ticket in a draw to win an Everest photo signed by Sir Edmund Hillary. A $100 donation will receive 3 tickets.
Mt Manaslu 26,759 feet 8163m the eighth highest mountain in the world is in the Gorkha region of Nepal. It was first climbed in 1956 by Toshio Imanishi from Japan and Gyalzen Norbu Sherpa from Nepal. Approximately 297 summits have been recorded for Manaslu since 1956.

The history of ufology shows the complex psychology of fringe beliefs.
In a recent paper published in Public Understanding of Science, Greg Eghigian, an associate professor of modern history at Penn State University, traces the history of ufology and its relationship with mainstream science, arguing that the mistrust between the two was not because ufologists were ignorant about science. And his analysis holds lessons for understanding other beliefs that run counter to scientific evidence.
Many ufologists, Eghigian says, have tried to go about their inquiries logically and systematically, usually by one of two methods. They would either come up with ways to code reports of UFO sightings so they could be statistically analyzed, or they would do detailed case studies.
But from the beginning, mainstream science was not welcoming to hypotheses about UFOs, especially not that they could be extraterrestrial in origin. When the first reports of disks and strange lights in the sky appeared in the years after World War II, several governments did collect and analyze these stories. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency theorized that they could be foreign weapons, or maybe a mass hysteria, ("midsummer madness," officials said in 1952) that could be another kind of security threat.
A few academics engaged with the UFO question (the University of Colorado psychologist David Saunders came up with a widely-used coding system, for one), but not many. For the most part, academia saw the study of UFOs as illegitimate.
This viewpoint was solidified when a University of Colorado commission on UFOs released a report in 1968, writing "nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 years that has added to scientific knowledge." After that, though not solely because of it, the U.S. Air Force stopped studying UFOs, and with the notable exception of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), the natural sciences mostly left aliens alone, too.
But the human sciences started to take an interest starting in the 1970s (though there had been a few studies in earlier decades), not in identifying the flying objects but in identifying what made people believe in them. I asked Eghigian if it changed at all the nature of the mistrust between the two groups, that ufologists had finally started to get attention from mainstream scientists, but it was their persons rather than their hypotheses that were the objects of study.
The secrecy with which the U.S. government and others conducted their initial UFO investigations, while understandable considering their worries that the objects were a national security threat, may have only made believers think there was something to hide.
This sort of actual, intentional secrecy is likely rare, but there are plenty of barriers to understanding that to the right (or wrong) mindset could read as suspicious. For one, many academic journals aren't open access, so the layperson researching on Google likely wouldn't be able to read the scientific studies for themselves. And even if they could, the statistical methods and jargon scientists use in their writing could be hard to parse.
And then there's the fact that if you were to ask a scientist about UFOs, or whether vaccines are unsafe, or how to explain a case of seeming telepathy, chances are they'd "consider it professionally silly to even engage in this," he says.
Not that scientists should be under any obligation to re-consider ideas which plenty of study has already found no evidence to support. But if lay people are occasionally guilty of not trusting scientists, so too are scientists guilty of not trusting lay people. Interest in UFOs has been on the decline since the 1990s, once the Cold War ended and its attendant anxieties about nuclear weapons and surveillance faded a little. But the history of ufology offers some insight into the nature of this mutual mistrust, that could have implications for other forms of mistrust in mainstream science.
"Most ufologists have been especially sensitive to the fact that scientific cynicism toward them seems to point to a hierarchical asymmetry at work," Eghigian writes.
People with any sort of scientifically unsupported belief—anti-vaxers, climate-change deniers, believers in ESP—may feel they're not being heard, that their concerns aren't being addressed. Scientists may feel that their concerns don't deserve to be addressed, that giving any attention to these incorrect ideas gives them too much legitimacy. So the trust between science and the public can curdle in places.
As my colleague Emma Green smartly noted in her recent piece on anti-vaxers, mistrust in science can come from "the monolithic power of science as a source of cultural authority," to say what is worthy and what is not worthy of attention, what is so and what is not so, what is right and what is wrong. Science is the best tool we have to make these kind of judgments, but it's only a tool. It's not a set of facts that are stamped "true" for all eternity. New discoveries can override old ones—there's always the possibility that we can learn something new, and it will change everything. It's at least conceivable that someday there might be good evidence for out-there beliefs, like that aliens are visiting, or have visited, Earth—even though there is no such evidence today.
According to a 2015 Pew report, 84 percent of scientists reported as a major problem that the "public doesn't know much about science." That may be true, (though another 2015 Pew survey found that Americans did fairly well on a quiz of basic scientific concepts). But it's also possible that some ufologists and others who mistrust mainstream science do understand it, they're just hoping that it will eventually confirm what they already believe.

Q: Python [Openpyxl - iterate through each column] I would like to browse the entire "B" column of my Excel file,
However, when I tried all the possibilities, I often got the first two columns with the same answer. I have some problems to find the solution even if I use get_letter_column or something else. I want to make in column "A" the name of the Coin and in column "B" the volume.
Here is my code
from tkinter.tix import COLUMN
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
import requests
from headers import HEADERS
from openpyxl import Workbook, load_workbook
from openpyxl.utils import get_column_letter as get_idx

book = load_workbook("Crypto.xlsx")
ws = book.active

response = requests.get("https://www.coingecko.com/", headers=HEADERS)
html = response.text

soup = bs(html, "html.parser")
coin_50 = soup.find_all("span", class_="lg:tw-flex font-bold tw-items-center tw-justify-between")[:50]
volume_50 = soup.find_all("span", class_="no-wrap")[:50]

crypto = [crypto.text.replace("\n", "") for crypto in coin_50]
volume = [volume.text for volume in volume_50]

for row in ws.iter_cols(max_row=len(crypto), min_col=1):
    for enum, cell in enumerate(row):
        cell.value = crypto[enum]

for row in ws.iter_cols(max_row=(len(volume)), cols = 2):
    for enum, cell in enumerate(row):
        cell.value = volume[enum]

book.save("Crypto.xlsx")

A: In order for your code to work as it you'd need to specify the column to write to in the second loop. I'd expect a syntax error on this line anyway, however you'd need to specify column 2
for row in ws.iter_cols(max_row=(len(volume)), cols = 2):

change the line to this
for row in ws.iter_cols(max_row=(len(volume)), min_col=2, max_col=2):

However looping through the rows twice is inefficient, both columns can be updated on the same loop
...
crypto = [crypto.text.replace("\n", "") for crypto in coin_50]
volume = [volume.text for volume in volume_50]

for row in ws.iter_cols(max_row=len(crypto), min_col=1):
    for enum, cell in enumerate(row):
        cell.value = crypto[enum]
        ## The next column is an offset from this cell so update it as well
        cell.offset(column=1).value = volume[enum]

## Change the iteration to loop through column B
# for row in ws.iter_cols(max_row=(len(volume)), min_col=2, max_col=2):
#     for enum, cell in enumerate(row):
#         cell.value = volume[enum]

book.save("Crypto.xlsx")

Trading resumes on NYSE after nearly 4-hour outage
by Patrick Gillespie, Matt Egan and Heather Long @CNNMoneyInvest July 8, 2015: 7:23 PM ET
NYSE resumes trading
The New York Stock Exchange suspended trading at 11:32 a.m ET Wednesday and stayed down for nearly four hours.
Trading finally resumed at 3:10pm ET. It's been a rough day for stocks. The Dow shed 261 points (about 1.5%), mostly because of China's stock market plunge and ongoing fears about Greece, although the NYSE "glitch" didn't help investor confidence.
"Given the global paradigm of what's going on in the EU, Greece, China, this is the last thing that the U.S. equity markets need," said Peter Kenny, chief market strategist at the Clear Pool Group, a financial technology firm. Kenny worked on the NYSE floor for 25 years.

What happened: In a brief announcement, the exchange said it was experiencing a "internal technical issue." The NYSE said later in a tweet that it's "not the result of a cyber breach."
"The root cause was determined to be a configuration issue," an NYSE spokesman said Wednesday evening.
The Department of Homeland Security told CNN that there is "no sign of malicious activity" at the NYSE or with an earlier outage experienced by United Airlines. The FBI says it reached out to NYSE and "no further law enforcement action is needed at this time."
Other exchanges, including the Nasdaq, remained operating as usual. In other words, investors were still able to trade trade, just not on the NYSE.
"It is the most significant outage since Nasdaq's blackout [in 2013]," says Eric Scott Hunsader, a market structure expert and CEO of data company Nanex. The 2013 "Flash Freeze" caused all Nasdaq-listed shares to stop trading for more than three hours.
Wednesday's halt re-hatches the long debate on electronic trading. Some experts believe there are more negatives than positives, but the NYSE halt revealed one of the benefits of electronic trading.
"This is basically the good thing about electronic trading quite frankly -- the customer doesn't have to rely on any one venue," says Ted Weisberg, president of Seaport Securities, who has been working at the NYSE for several decades.

Other glitches: The NYSE wasn't the only one with glitches today. The Wall Street Journal's homepage stopped functioning around the same time that the NYSE went down. The Journal was able to restore its homepage by about 12:20pm.
United Airlines' computer system also malfunctioned Wednesday morning, but it was back up by the time NYSE had its big issue.

Earlier in the day Wednesday, about 200 NYSE stock symbols halted trading due to a technology glitch, including Macy's (M) and Kate Spade (KATE). Traders thought that problem had been solved, but then the whole system went down.
"They've been having problems all day. They seemed to have rectified it earlier and then it happened again. Now they shut it all down," said Joe Saluzzi, co-head of trading at Themis Trading and author of Broken Markets.
Trading is expected to resume on the New York Stock Exchange as usual on Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m.
CNN's Shimon Prokupecz and Jim Sciutto and CNNMoney's Alison Kosik contributed to this report.

B. K. (Bob) Taylor is an American illustrator, cartoonist, writer, production designer, costume designer, puppeteer, and musician known for his work on the Odd Rods collector stickers of the late 1960s, his covers for Sick magazine, his comics in National Lampoon, and for his work as a staff writer on ABC'S popular sit-com, Home Improvement.  He lives in Metro Detroit and continues to work as an illustrator and writer, performing occasionally in a local rock band.

Education
B. K. Taylor studied art at Detroit's premier art school, the Art School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts (later known as Center for Creative Studies, now College for Creative Studies), under advertising department Chair and instructor Harry Borgman.

Career
Taylor began his varied career while still in art school in Detroit, illustrating covers for Sick magazine.  Since then, he has been using his creative ideas to create book, magazine, and trading card illustrations, muppet designs for Jim Henson and others, and has worked on writing teams for television and feature releases including Home Improvement with Tim Allen, and Disney's Mulan.

Sick and Mad magazines
At least as early as 1966, Taylor was doing cover illustrations for Sick, while still studying at the Art School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts.

He illustrated a piece in Mad issue #357 (1997), titled "The Mad World of Religion," written by Rick Rodgers.

Odd Rods and other stickers
In 1969, Taylor created 44 stickers for the Donruss Company's group of non-sports trading card/sticker series, Odd Rods. The series was very popular with schoolchildren of the time, resulting in a string of sequel series.

In 1988, Taylor created more collectable stickers for Leaf/Donruss, "Awesome All*Stars," a spoof of baseball cards featuring humorously grotesque monsters.  There were 99 cards in the series.

In 1989, for Leaf/Donruss, Taylor created Baseball's Greatest Gross Outs, featuring more cartoon parodies of baseball players with names like "Long-arm Lenny" and "Garlic-breath Gary."  The set featured 88 stickers as well as a repeat of some of those stickers with a 36-cardback poster.

In 1983 he did another set of collector sticker cards called Zero Heroes, featuring tragically flawed superheroes with names like "The Fantastic Fast Guy," "Lard Lady," and "Milk Man."  Each card had a short bio of its character on the back, featuring the character's origin and final outcome.  Zero Heroes was a joint venture between General Mills and Donruss.  There were 66 cards in the set, including a few non-character designs with various Zero Hero logos, a medal, a name tag, and a do-not-enter sign (presumably for a young boy's or girl's bedroom door).

Muppet Creative Consultant
In 1974 he became a puppeteer on Detroit-produced the Hot Fudge Show, a children's entertainment show starring Arte Johnson.  At the same time, he worked for Jim Henson as a puppeteer and puppet designer.  He is listed in the credits of the 1975 production, The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, as Muppet Creative Consultant. He's done character design for Sesame Street (Sam the Robot) and The Muppet Show (Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem). He was a writer and designer for Nickelodeon's Eureeka's Castle and "Time for Manners," for which he also created backgrounds.

National Lampoon
From 1975 to 1987, Taylor created a run of comic pages for the "Funny Pages" section of National Lampoon, including "Timberland Tales," "The Appletons," and "Stories from Uncle Kunta"  His work first appeared in the 1975 special edition "National Lampoon's Very Large Book of Comical Funnies" with the comic strip "The Appletons," a family feature which supposedly ran in the 1950s.  In October 1976, Taylor's "Timberland Tales" first appeared in the "Funny Pages" section of the National Lampoon. Over the next ten years, both strips ran in that section regularly, alternating from issue to issue.

Children's magazines
Taylor also contributed illustrations to children's magazines, including Highlights for Children and Scholastic's Hot dog! and Dynamite.  In Hot dog! his illustrations were featured in a regular piece called "It's Not Fair!," a page of reader-submitted jokes based on the theme of unfairness, the best of which would be selected to appear in the next month's issue with an accompanying illustration by B.K.

Book illustration
Taylor's work has appeared in Scholastic Books, including 101 Silly Monster Jokes and 101 Nutty Nature Jokes as well as books for Sesame Street, such as Sesame Street 1, 2, 3 Storybook: Stories About the Numbers from 1 to 10. He has worked on several other humorous titles, including Would Somebody Please Send Me to My Room! A Hilarious Look at Family Life and I Run, Therefore I Am—Nuts!

Home Improvement
From 1991 to 1995, Taylor co-wrote five episodes of the popular Home Improvement:
 "Baby, It's Cold Outside" (1992)
 "Read My Hips" (1992)
 "I'm Scheming of a White Christmas" (1992)
 "'Twas the Blight Before Christmas" (1993)
 "Swing Time" (1994)

Disney
Taylor has also worked as a creative consultant for Walt Disney Feature Animation on Mulan, and other projects.

Movie design work
He was a production designer, costume designer, and voice actor for the 1989 movie, Moontrap. with Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell.

Editorial cartooning
In 2009, Taylor illustrated a series of cartoons for a one-of-a-kind print media campaign focusing on the credit card interchange issue.  The campaign was art directed by Jay Ragsdale with creative design from penczner media, for Unfaircreditcardfees.com.  The campaign received national attention, and won the 2010 Reed Award for Best Public Advocacy Campaign.

Comic strips
In National Lampoons "Funny Pages" section, Taylor alternated between two and sometimes three strips of his creation:
 "The Appletons: A Saga of an American Family" - featured Helen, the earnest and clueless mom; Kathy and Bobby, the mischievous and somewhat less clueless kids; and Norm, the mischievous and subversive dad (imagine Ward Cleaver with a penchant for elaborate and dangerous practical jokes).
 "Timberland Tales" - featured Doctor Rogers, an earnest Mark Trail-type; his girlfriend Kathleen; Maurice the Indian Boy ("some call him the joker"), an unbelievably naive and bulbous teenager; and Constable Tom ("rumored to have a small amount of brain damage"), a dimwitted, musclebound Canadian Mountie. The latter two characters were featured much more frequently.
 "Stories of Uncle Kunta" - a less frequently run comic featuring a narrative format with impossible tall tales told to two white children by Uncle Kunta, a satiric cross between Walt Disney's Uncle Remus and Kunta Kinte from Roots, the blockbuster TV mini-series of the time.

In 2020, he released I Think He's Crazy-The Comics of B. K. Taylor, a compilation book of these and other comics.

In 2009, he illustrated an editorial strip for a public advocacy campaign commissioned by Unfair Credit Card Fees:
 "Interchange Able"

Awards
Taylor's work has been recognized with several awards:
 Inkpot Award from Comic-Con International in 1980
 Gold Brick Award
 Caddy Awards (7)
 the Funny Bone Award
 ACE Award in 1990 for Eureeka's Castle

Q: VML table-cell background image in Outlook HTML email only visible on click or resize I have a table cell with VML background image fallback for Outlook. It is working so far, but sometimes (I think when the image needs a little more time to be loaded from the server) the VML background is only visible when I click the concerned cell or when I resize the Outlook window or open the email via double click in a single view window.
Any hint what goes wrong here?
Thank you very much in advance.

A: I've figured out that this is actually an VML issue. I can confirm that if we use VBScript to replace the source of the image, it will refresh and the image displayed. So to do this in another way, you can put everything in a textbox and then put an image under that textbox. Check the code below.

CONTENT GOES HERE

I've also written a post about this.
Let me know if this works for you. I know this is a pain in the ass. But I can't figure out another path to this. Maybe you can share with me your ideas.

A: Could it have anything to do with some of the layout of your code not following what is given to you from the http://backgrounds.cm/ site?

        /* CONTENT */

Maybe try formatting your code according to mine and see what happens?
Also, is your image quite large in size?
