Trump-Pelosi trade deal creates strife among progressives
By Sylvan Lane - 12/15/19 06:55 PM EST
Progressive lawmakers and some labor unions are facing internal divisions over whether to support President Trump Donald TrumpClinton, Bush, Obama reflect on peaceful transition of power on Biden's Inauguration Day Arizona Republican's brothers say he is 'at least partially to blame' for Capitol violence Biden reverses Trump's freeze on .4 billion in funds MORE's proposed update to a North American trade agreement.
House Democratic leaders this past week announced a deal to pass Trump's revamp of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) after six months of intense, secretive negotiations.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiGOP operative installed as NSA top lawyer placed on administrative leave: reports Budowsky: Democracy won, Trump lost, President Biden inaugurated Biden taps career civil servants to acting posts at State, USAID, UN MORE (D-Calif.) and other Democrats touted victories in securing tougher labor law enforcement procedures in Mexico, tightening environmental restrictions and eliminating legal protections for certain drugs in defiance of the powerful pharmaceutical lobby.
Those concessions were enough to secure the support of the AFL-CIO, the largest U.S. labor federation and a fierce critic of the original NAFTA.
When AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka hailed "an agreement that working people can proudly support," he cleared the way for Democrats to back Trump's deal known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
But that doesn't mean all Democrats and unions are going along happily.
"We haven't spent enough time putting together the apparatus of how you enforce this and who's responsible for enforcing it," said Rep. Bill Pascrell William (Bill) James PascrellCapitol Police officer hailed as hero for drawing rioters away from Senate chamber John Lewis remembered after Warnock victory: 'Wish he were here tonight' Cori Bush shares picture of expanded 'Squad' MORE (D-N.J.), a fierce critic of trade deals. "I don't trust what's been written."
Rep. Rosa DeLauro Rosa DeLauroBiden reverses Trump's freeze on .4 billion in funds Tim Ryan, Rosa DeLauro giving free coffee and donuts to National Guard stationed at Capitol Trump seeks to freeze .4 billion of programs in final week of presidency MORE (D-Conn.), a trade skeptic and member of the Democratic USMCA negotiating team, said the caucus's chief objective was "to staunch the outsourcing," citing the vast industrial job losses in her district. Despite the new changes to the trade deal, she remains undecided on supporting the USMCA.
DeLauro's concerns are resonating among progressives who seem powerless to stop the deal at this point, especially given the level of Republican support in the House for the measure.
Pascrell said he was hesitant to move forward with the deal after Mexico rejected allowing American inspectors into domestic factories to ensure compliance with a new minimum wage hike, unionization protections and other labor laws.
"There are improvements in labor standards. But again, it comes down to how are you going to enforce it," Pascrell said. "The fact that did they dismissed American monitors so quickly tells me where they're coming from."
The House is scheduled to vote Thursday on the USMCA, and it's expected to pass with strong bipartisan support. Even some of NAFTA's original opponents are open to supporting the new agreement.
"The question before the House is not 'NAFTA or no NAFTA.' It's 'NAFTA or new NAFTA.' And if I think it's a substantial or even a significant improvement over the old NAFTA, I'll support it," said Rep. Brad Sherman Bradley (Brad) James ShermanBottom line 150 House Democrats support Biden push to reenter Iran nuclear deal Democrats elect Meeks as first Black Foreign Affairs chairman MORE (D-Calif.), who voted against the 1994 pact.
Trump vowed during his 2016 campaign that he would rewrite NAFTA, a pledge that proved crucial to delivering electoral victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — three states that had reliably supported Democratic presidential candidates since 1992.
Pelosi voiced early interest in revising NAFTA with Trump and fostered a strong relationship with U.S Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer Bob LighthizerWhiskey, workers and friends caught in the trade dispute crossfire GOP senator warns quick vote on new NAFTA would be 'huge mistake' Pelosi casts doubt on USMCA deal in 2019 MORE, the top White House trade negotiator. Even as Pelosi condemned Trump's conduct as president, she insisted that Democrats would remain on a "path to yes" as long as the White House negotiated in good faith.
"There is no question, of course, that this trade agreement is much better than NAFTA," Pelosi said Tuesday, shortly after the AFL-CIO voiced its approval. "In terms of our work here, it is infinitely better than what was initially proposed by the administration."
Striking a deal with Trump on a signature issue was seen as a way for Pelosi to give political cover to vulnerable centrist Democrats worried about an impeachment backlash in 2020. But much of her caucus was reluctant to move forward if it meant spurning organized labor, a pillar of the Democratic base.
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), a moderate who strongly supports the USMCA, said the Democratic caucus broke into four basic groups: those ready to support the deal from the get-go, those who hinged their support on Pelosi, those who needed labor's blessing and those who "even if they wrote the bill, they would vote no."
The AFL-CIO endorsement proved to be the final hurdle to cementing Democratic support for the trade deal in the House. The United Steelworkers also called for the deal's passage, while the United Automobile Workers and the Communications Workers of America praised the changes without taking a formal position.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers opposed the agreement over concerns it would do little to stop the flow of factory jobs to Mexico.
Outside trade critics have offered measured support.
"The revised-revised NAFTA is not a template for working people and planet-first agreement, but it does have changes that could counter some of NAFTA's ongoing serious damage," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch.
Even so, Wallach said, the vast industrial job losses driven by NAFTA "makes a deal that is less than a transformational, progressive pro-worker deal worth considering."
Support from organized labor helped bring some of the most ardent Democratic trade hawks around to the USMCA, including Sens. Sherrod Brown Sherrod Campbell BrownFacebook temporarily bans ads for weapons accessories following Capitol riots Biden and the new Congress must protect Americans from utility shutoffs Streamlining the process of prior authorization for medical and surgical procedures MORE (Ohio) and Ron Wyden Ronald (Ron) Lee WydenWith a new president and a new Congress, it's time for Medicare drug price negotiation The Hill's Morning Report - President Biden, Vice President Harris begin work today Senate Democrats call on Biden to immediately invoke Defense Production Act MORE (Ore.), who endorsed the deal Friday.
Brown has never voted for a trade deal during his 26 years in Congress and had long criticized Trump's trade policy. Yet the Ohio Democrat said Friday that after fighting "tooth and nail" against Trump, pro-labor Democrats and unions were able to secure "the strongest-ever labor enforcement in a U.S. trade deal."
There is rarely daylight between Brown and industrial unions, and the senator ceded Friday that USMCA was "not a perfect agreement."
Jessica Wasserman, a former Commerce Department official who's now a partner at the law firm Greenspoon Marder LLP, said the importance of the trade deal's endorsement by the AFL-CIO cannot be overstated.
"In the past, it's been that the AFL-CIO would be the toughest one to get through, so to speak," she said. "Without the clear labor support, in the end there may have been a lot of division about the agreement and it perhaps would have become more of an issue in the election."

China Is Targeting America's Critical Infrastructure. Here's What You Can Do About It.
On June 10, 2022, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation release a joint advisory concerning Chinese sponsored cyberattacks. The report detailed a sustained campaign focused on exploiting networking devices across a broad range of public and private sector entities. The report is the most recent evidence pointing to the larger trend of increases in the number and sophistication of state sponsored cyberattacks. This phenomenon is unlikely to reverse soon. As a result, critical infrastructure companies must understand and prepare for more of them.
Chinese Capabilities
For many years, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has sustained a series of targeted cyber campaigns designed to disrupt commercial enterprises. In 2021, the Department of Justice filed criminal charges against four Chinese nationals affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of State Security. Each were found to have facilitated cyberattacks designed to collect confidential business information across the globe. Stories like this have made the public broadly familiar with the threat China poses to intellectual property and IT security.
Less known, however, is the fact that the FBI has been tracking Chinese attacks against operational technology for more than a decade. Between 2011 and 2013 alone, the FBI was actively tracking Chinese attacks against 23 different natural gas pipelines. Sixteen of the attacks resulted in confirmed system compromises. These compromises often began with Chinese hackers gaining access to corporate networks connected to industrial control systems. This in turn, was leveraged by Chinese actors to gain access to "SCADA networks at several U.S. natural gas pipeline companies". Had any of these exploits been directly weaponized, the results would have been crippling.
More concerning, however, is the fact that in the decade since, the capability and sophistication of Chinese cyberattacks has risen significantly. According to the 2022 Annual Threat Assessment published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, China is "capable of launching cyber-attacks that would disrupt critical infrastructure services within the United States, including against oil and gas pipelines and rail systems."
Joint Advisory
The primary finding of the Joint Advisory was the priority Chinese actors placed on compromising networking devices. Devices produced by companies like Cisco and Netgear were common targets for attack. Yet, within the context of the 2011-2013 pipeline attacks, we can understand that this is not a new approach. The information and operational functions continue to make them highly valuable cyber targets. Furthermore, in the decade since, IT/OT convergence has been accelerated by the Industrial Internet of Things and broader Industry 4.0 movement. As such, the exploitation of networking devices poses an even more substantial threat to operational technology today.
The report further details that most of these attacks are initiated through publicly reported Common Vulnerability Exposures (CVEs). Investigators found that, in most cases, the CVE had been publicly disclosed for two years prior to being exploited by a state sponsored attacker. Additionally, the attackers were observed to routinely use open-source network scanning tools to seek out unpatched systems and mark them as a target. This maximizes the efficiency of their operations, while also eliminating the need to utilize more obvious tactics. All these developments are yet another data point that should motivate security operators to consider their own cyber resilience.
What You Can Do About It
Thankfully, there are effective steps that critical infrastructure companies can take to defend both their IT and OT infrastructure against state sponsored cyberattacks:
Apply patches for networking devices as soon as possible: Maintaining updated patches is the biggest takeaway from the advisory. Doing this will increase network resiliency and may even prevent a network from being targeted for attack.
Disable unnecessary ports and protocols: By disabling unused channels, operators decrease the surface area of attack and mitigate the consequences of a successful intrusion. To be most effective, a robust asset inventory should be developed to ensure that no potential attack vectors are left undiscovered.
Replace end-of-life infrastructure: Legacy and unused equipment can provide an easy attack vector. Even worse, if these devices are not adequately indexed within a larger asset inventory, then it may be difficult to even detect an intrusion.
Implement centralized security management: Each of these practices can be made more effective my centralizing their management. SIEMs and related technologies can improve the efficiency of security operators and result in a more resilient cybersecurity posture.
The unfortunate reality is that the broader geopolitical landscape is becoming increasingly strained. This has been highlighted by the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and escalating rhetoric surrounding Taiwan. Security operators and executives at critical infrastructure companies must take this as an opportunity to double down on hiring the best people, implementing efficient processes and investing in cyber resilience technologies.

Abstract This paper reviews the results of a study performed for the DeepStar Project, CTR A802-2, 'Concept Study and Investigation of Key Areas of Interest for Subsea Systems in Deepwater' (Ref. 1). The report documents the results of a study of subsea manifold systems as applied to the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Of particular interest is the development of a range of system level philosophies based on recent and ongoing experience from the operators and vendors. Introduction Three subsea system scenarios are addressed for deepwater subsea developments in the Gulf of Mexico. Each system represents a variation in development philosophy, based on Cluster, Modular, and Integrated Template Systems. The study was used as a tool to identify the available technology and hardware in the key areas of flowline connections, guidelineless operations, and non-rig intervention, for each concept considered, and for water depths from 3,000-6,000 R. Vendor surveys and operator field history were used as input for the concepts developed. Study Approach The study was initiated with a subsea workshop to review operator and vendor experience in deepwater applications. The workshop provided input and direction for the rest of the study by defining the concepts to be considered and key areas of concern. A vendor survey was also issued to solicit information on the state of development of the primary subsea hardware components. Example configurations were developed for each of the base case concepts, including seafloor layouts, sample component selection, budgetary level costs and schedules, The three concepts were evaluated on a comparative basis and rationale was noted regarding potential scenarios that would favor each method of development. DeepStar Subsea Workshop. A DeepStar Subsea Workshop was held in April 1995, to review the general features and configurations of systems planned or in place. The workshop included both operating company and vendor personnel, and served as an open forum for discussion of design alternatives, and rationale that should be considered when selecting the features of a deepwater subsea manifold concept. Three key areas of interest were defined as being critical to the development of deepwater systems: Guidelineless Operations, ROV and Non-Rig Intervention Operations, and Flowline Connection Methods These topics were discussed at the workshop and further evaluated in the study. The resulting rationale and philosophy were applied to three subsea concepts that were each developed to a conceptual design level to illustrate the range of equipment available for each concept. The DeepStar Subsea Workshop was well received by the oil company participants and vendors. A number of comments were noted that this sort of forum should be promoted on an annual basis as a vehicle for exchange of philosophies and experiences.
Subsea Manifold System

ABSTRACT This paper emphasizes the application of the so-called SEAL Atmospheric System as a subsea manifolding station. Following some introductory remarks, the paper includes a brief description of the existing SAS prototype in terms of its basic hardware components and associated subsystems, and a review of its testing history, especially highlighting events of' the past year and plans for completing the testing program. It then analyzes how the SAS-particularly its major hardware component, the Subsea Work Enclosure--can be utilized as a subsea manifold system. INTRODUCTION During recent years, a subsea production system has been designed, built, and initially tested. It has been identified in the past as the SEAL* Atmospheric System, and previously described in technical literature. 1,2,3* * Initially, the SAS was designed as a multi-well production/ manifold station, where the base is used as a subsea drilling template for deviated wells drilled peripherally and connected directly. It may also be used, however, as a collection manifold station for remote, widely-spaced, vertically drilled wells with individual subsea completions, connected to it by flow lines. In either case its use as a man folding station is a straightforward concept, and this role is stressed in the Sections that follow. BASIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION For completeness sake, a brief description of the SEAL Atmospheric System is included herein. It consists of three basic elements of hardware: namely, the base, the wellhead connector assembly, and the subsea work enclosure. It also includes a number of associated supporting subsystems. A full scale prototype was constructed to prove the practicality of the system's design and to test its operational reliability. Basic Hardware The prototype base, shown schematically in Figure 1, was constructed under contract to SEAL by Brown and Root, substantially of structural piping. It is about 50 feet square, 26 feet high, and weighs approximately 140 tons in air, with positive buoyancy in water with pipes un flooded. A circular base has also been designed, to serve as a template for drilling deviated wells from the sea floor, when the system is projected for use in a production configuration. For example, a base 80 feet in diameter has been designed to accommodate the drilling of up to 18 wells. The actual size and shape of the base are flexible, therefore, provided structural and operational requirements are satisfied. 1,2,3 Serving as the focal point of the system, the Subsea Work Enclosure (SWE) provides a dry environment on the sea floor at atmospheric pressure, in which normal oil field equipment may operate, maintained by oil field personnel. The SWE prototype, shown in Figures 2 and 3, is a subsea structure constructed of thick alloy steel, measuring 54~ feet high, 16~ feet in base diameter, and designed for an operating depth of 1500 feet. Its geometric shape as a stepped cylinder was designed to optimize the internal piping and equipment arrangement and the external connection of wells completed around its periphery.

Chapter 1736 - Nine Cycle Heart Wheel!
Putting away the Water General's armor, Wang Lin's eyes were cold like ice. He looked at the vortex and his hand reached toward it.
At the same time, bright, golden light came from the vortex like sharp swords. It collided with Wang Lin's right hand.
Thunderous rumbles echoed across the water formation.
Wang Lin retreated three steps and withdrew his right hand. His expression didn't change at all, it was still extremely cold.
The vortex collapsed under the impact and exploded into specks of crystals. It disappeared without a trace.
On planet Five Elements, the ninth floor of the tower was giving off a golden glow. Inside sat an old man wearing a golden shirt with life-like patterns embroidered on it.
At this moment, the old man trembled and cough out blood. His right hand was bruised and dark. It was also at a weird angle and was obviously broken.
Large amounts of blood flowed out from his right arm and dripped on the ground.
"A member of the Ancient Clan, the power of his body belongs to the Ancient Dao clan! He doesn't seem to be a descendant created from Ye Mo's 3,000 drops of blood, Ye Mo's descendant couldn't be as strong as him!! This person is likely not someone from the cave; he came from the Immortal Astral Continent!! Damn it, someone else is here besides my Gui Yi Sect!!" The old man's pupils shrank and his eyes were filled with pain. He looked at his right hand with horror and pain in his eyes.
"What a vicious step. If not for the armor, my arm would have shattered and even my body would have exploded…"
The old man's face was extremely gloomy as he faced the outside of the tower and roared, "Na Duo, come and see me!"
When the old man's voice came out of the ninth floor of the tower, the hearts of all the cultivators outside the tower trembled. All the uproar stopped and they knelt toward the tower.
Na Duo's eyes twitched and he jumped toward the ninth floor without hesitation. He stopped outside and was about to speak when a giant hand grabbed him and pulled him in.
Na Dao didn't dare to resist, allowing the giant hand to drag him into the tower. After he entered, he immediately knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.
"Junior Na Duo greets Ninth Ancestor."
The old man in the golden robe looked at Na Duo and roared, "Who is he?! How did you provoke such a person?!"
Hearing the old man's words, Na Duo raised his head to speak, but when he saw the blood the old man had coughed out, his heart trembled. Then he saw the old man's right arm, and a monstrous wave was set off in his heart.
He knew the ancestor had acted, but not only had the ancestor not gained the advantage, he had been injured by Wang Lin. His body trembled and he quickly spilled everything he knew without hiding anything.
As Na Duo spoke, inside the Five Element Formation, the water formation collapsed. Wang Lin could have left, but he chose not to. He stepped forward and there was a dazzling glow as a new world appeared before him!
The gentle wind blew by. The fragrance that the breeze brought would make anyone feel calm. It was a dense jungle here with no end in sight. The towering trees were like swords that pierced the clouds, and the leaves formed patches of shade.
Five Element Wood Formation!
Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he looked around, and he gradually smiled. On this trip to planet Five Elements, ignoring the main objective, just this Five Elements Formation had given Wang Lin a great fortune.
How could Wang Lin let the wood formation go? He charged forward.
However, as soon as Wang Lin moved, all the trees in the jungle trembled. All the leaves fell off due to some mysterious force and flew toward Wang Lin.
There were too many leaves, enough to cover the sky and earth. They were locked on to Wang Lin as if they were trying to take his soul away.
Wang Lin's expression didn't change at all as he retreated three steps. His right hand formed a fist and coldness appeared in his eyes. He suddenly clawed at the space before him!
Heaven Ripping!
This tear caused the clouds to scatter, then a loud tearing sound echoed. A giant rift was torn open in the world, and it connected the sky and earth. It felt like it was going to tear the world in half!
In truth, the world before Wang Lin was split in half. The center of the rift led into the dark void. At this moment, it rapidly expanded as if the night was devouring the day.
But just this wasn't enough to display the power of Heaven Ripping. The countless leaves were all torn along with the world! All the leaves split in half, revealing the lines that connected the two sides of each leaf.
All the leaves coming from all directions were ripped apart like this!
When the Heaven Ripping came from Wang Lin's right hand, a thunderous rumble echoed as if the wood formation was going to collapse.
All the leaves closing in on Wang Lin split in half and moved by his sides, colliding with the leaves coming from the opposite direction.
From afar, Wang Lin's figure looked to be drowned by the collision of the leaves. A moment later, Wang Lin walked out of the darkness. Behind him, the rift grew bigger like a large mouth.
The collapsed leaves created a mass of chaos. It was like the end of the world!
Just as Wang Lin walked out, the trees that had lost all their leaves began to move strangely. Under Wang Lin's gaze, the trees all began to extend and intersect with each other. Soon, the trees extended and grew to form a giant face.
"Surrender or be destroyed." Wang Lin's white hair gently fluttered behind him along with his white robe. He stared at the face of the tree on the ground.
The face in the forest silently pondered, and after a long time, it slowly closed its ancient eyes. At this moment, bright green light gathered between its eyebrows. It formed a green crystal that shot toward Wang Lin.
It floated before Wang Lin and he picked it up with his right hand. When he put it away, all the trees moved back to their original positions.
Wang Lin no longer looked down but stepped forward and the world around him distorted until it all collapsed. The wood formation rapidly dissipated and the last formation appeared, the metal formation!
The metal formation was filled with the power of metal, and the smell of killing intent was dense in the metal world. There was no earth here. Instead, there were large swords filled with the power of metal and killing intent.
There were no clouds or sun in the sky, only endless swords hanging upside down in the air. Those countless swords buzzed the moment Wang Lin appeared!
This was a sword hymn!! All the swords hymned at the same time!
Metal was no wood. Wood could be soft, which was why Wang Lin had given the wood spirit that had gained intelligence a chance to choose. Metal was different, metal would always be straight and never yield!
At this moment, the sword hymn echoed and all the swords shot out. The millions of swords all flew toward Wang Lin.
Thunderous rumbles echoed and the violent sounds became the only sounds that existed, and they lingered for a long time.
On planet Five Elements, in the ninth floor of the tower, after Na Duo had spoken of everything he knew about Wang Lin, the old man was still gloomy. He still didn't believe that Wang Lin was not someone from the Immortal Astral Continent.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked outside the tower. His expression was filled with killing intent.
"He has broken the metal formation! He is going to enter the Nine Cycles!" The old man in the golden robe stood up. His eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent.
Na Duo hesitated and asked, "Ancestor, can our planet Five Elements' most powerful Nine Cycle Heart Wheel formation stop this person?"
"The Nine Cycle Heart Wheel, nine breaths for one cycle. The faster one's heart moves, the faster it turns… It is difficult to say. This formation can be difficult and can be simple. It is one of the protection formations of the Gui Yi Sect on the Immortal Astral Continent.
"Although this formation only has 40% of its power, as long as he can't see through the formation and it rotates even a bit, he won't be able to break through!
"Everything will depend on whether his heart moves or not!" the ancestor muttered, but his words were too mysterious. Na Duo listened but didn't understand much, but he didn't ask more. Instead, he looked into the sky outside the tower.
Inside the formation, thunderous rumble echoed and the metal formation collapsed. Wang Lin walked out from inside. He could now see planet Five Elements not far away!
It seemed as if he only needed to take one step to enter planet Five Elements.
Behind Wang Lin was the Five Elements Formation that was disintegrating.
Staring at planet Five Elements, he was about to enter, but he suddenly stopped. He exclaimed softly and his eyes lit up.
In his view, the planet had actually moved!
It began to slowly rotate!

Dragon Lady Overview:
Dragon Lady is a 2019 Philippine television drama fantasy series broadcast by GMA Network. Directed by Paul Sta. Ana, it stars Janine Gutierrez in the title role. It premiered on March 4, 2019 on the network's Afternoon Prime and Sabado Star Power sa Hapon line up replacing Asawa Ko, Karibal Ko.


With the multiple dependencies feature in TaskRay, you can create dynamic dependency relationships between tasks within a project. Creating dependencies allows you to meaningfully connect tasks together throughout the course of a project plan.
When dependency relationships are created between tasks, any future scheduling changes will affect all the connected tasks. This can be helpful for projects that require tasks to be completed in a prescribed order, especially with complex, long-term projects. Project start and end dates will also automatically adjust based on the task dates.
Important! If you are on the latest version of TaskRay and you do not see the multiple dependencies functionality (i.e. dependency types, Predecessors tab on Task Details, or the Dependency menu in Plan View, that means that your organization has not yet completed the migration to use these features. To migrate, your admin will need to follow the instructions in this article.
Lag refers to the number of business days between two tasks in a dependency relationship (between a successor task and a predecessor task). Lag can be positive or negative depending on how the tasks in the dependency relationship are scheduled.
In TaskRay, there are two ways to establish dependency relationships between tasks. You can either connect dependencies in Plan View, or you can set a dependency relationship between tasks through the Predecessors tab in Task Details.
To create a dependency, hover over a scheduled task to reveal a circle. Click on the circle and drag a connection from it to a circle next to another task. You can also connect circles on tasks representing different dependency types. For example, to establish a Start-To-Start dependency relationship between two tasks, hover over the left (start) edge (dot) of the first task and drag the arrow to the left (start) edge (dot) of the second task.
Establishing a dependency relationship through Task Details can be done by accessing the Predecessors tab on a task and adding a new predecessor to it.
Additionally, the Predecessors tab is a place where you can view all dependent predecessor tasks on the selected task.
Locate the task that you want as the successor in the dependency relationship and open its Task Details.
Under the Details tab, click on the Predecessors sub-tab.
Click on Add Predecessor Task.
This will open a window to enter predecessor task information. Click into the Predecessor Task field and search for a task that you want as the dependent predecessor in the relationship.
Note: The Predecessor Task search field will only search for tasks on projects (not templates). When building out templates, use the Plan View for setting up dependencies.
Generally, dependencies will be automatically updated every time you reschedule tasks in a dependency relationship. For example, if you reschedule one of the tasks in a dependency relationship, the Lag on the associated dependency connection will be automatically updated to reflect the new task schedule.
Another way that you can edit a dependency is through the Dependency menu. This menu can be accessed in Plan View by clicking on a dependency arrow that you want to edit. From here, you can edit the Dependency Type and Lag, as well as delete the dependency. Once you make a change on the dependency, click Save.
Another way that you can edit existing dependencies is through the Predecessors sub-tab on a successor task. The Predecessors sub-tab is also a great place to view all dependent predecessor tasks and their information on a selected task.
Locate the task on which you want to edit a predecessor (dependency) and open its Task Details.
You will see a list of all dependent predecessors on the task. From here, you can edit information, such as Dependency Type and Lag by hovering over the cells in the table and clicking on the Edit pencil icon that appears. Additionally, you can remove a predecessor from the list (and thus delete the associated dependency) by clicking on the X in the row.
Tasks that are in dependency relationships can be rescheduled either by moving the task directly to an earlier or later date in Plan View or by clicking on the task and editing the date in the Task Detail.
When a task in a dependency relationship is moved, all of the dependent successor tasks will also be rescheduled accordingly.
If your project contains tasks or milestones that are date-driven, it is possible to lock dates on those, so that they are not affected by dependent predecessor schedule updates. If you reschedule tasks in a chain of dependencies that includes locked tasks or milestones, it is possible that you could encounter a schedule conflict, which will be indicated by a red dependency arrow. A schedule conflict occurs when a predecessor task's dates overlap with a locked successor task/milestone according to specific criteria depending on the dependency type. You can read more details on locking dates on tasks and milestones, as well as schedule conflicts in this article.
There are a couple of different ways that you can remove dependency relationships.
The easiest and quickest way to delete a dependency is in Plan View.
On the Plan View timeline, locate the dependency that you want to remove. Click on the dependency arrow to select it.
From here, you can either hit Delete on your keyboard or click on the Delete button in the Dependency dropdown menu that appears.
Another way that you can delete a dependency is through the Predecessors tab under Task Details.
Locate the successor task that is in a dependency relationship that you want to remove and open its Task Details.
You will see a list of all dependent predecessors on the task. From here, you can remove a predecessor from the list (and thus delete the associated dependency) by clicking on the X in the row.
Below are some of the most common notifications and automations that are related to task dependencies.
You will receive a notification in TaskRay any time all dependent predecessor tasks are completed for a task that you are the owner of. You can view such notifications in the My Work View in the Notifications tab.
Additionally, it is possible to configure custom email notifications to be sent to task owners to let them know that their dependent predecessor tasks are complete. You can read more on this process in this article.


When you are on the road for several hours at a time, there is bound to be an accident of some sort at one time or another, no matter how careful you are. After all, you may be driving according to the rules of the road, but others are not, and many people don't pay attention when there are big rigs around. For instance, how many times have cars just pulled right in front of you, with little room to spare? This is just one reason why it is necessary to have a dash cam in your rig. Let's take a look at three of our favorites.
WHAT YOU GET: Roav DashCam C2, Trim Removal Tool, 2-Port USB Car Charger, Suction and 3M Sticker Mounts, User Manual, Happy Card, our 12-month product replacement warranty and friendly customer service.
You are on the road day and night, and you need a dash cam that offers total night vision. That is what you will get with the Roav by Anker. This dash cam can easily capture information on license plates, in light or dark conditions. The video is clear and rich, thanks to the advanced Sony Exmor IMX323 sensor and the Ambarella A12 chipset.
This dash cam is ideal for anyone who is on the road at all hours of the day or night. It allows you to see the entire road ahead of you, as well as either side, whether you are driving during the day or at night. The f2.0 wide angle aperture lens is made up of five lens elements, so it will capture four full lanes of traffic, recording everything that is going on around you while you are on the road.
We love that this dash cam will work in extreme temperatures on either end of the scale. It is designed with a steel frame that helps to draw heat away from the internal circuits. It will operate in -4 degrees F to -158 degrees F, or 32 degrees F to 158 degrees F.
The VAVA Dash Cam VA-CD007 captures sharp, 1440p, 30fps recording, day or night, so you can capture everything around you no matter how dark it gets while you are on the road. This is a dash cam that is loaded with features, including loop recording for long hauls, ignition-triggered auto recording, and parking mode for emergency videos when you are not near your rig.
This dash cam has an F1.8 wide angle lens that lets you capture more of what is going on around you on the road, even if you are driving in low light conditions. It has a user-friendly design, and the dual USB port car charger lets you power not only the dash cam, but also another device. The interface is icon-based and easy to use.
You can keep this dash cam powered with the dual USB port car charger, which comes included with your purchase. You will actually receive two USB charging cables, one for installation and one for data transfer, along with the car charger, a suction cup mount, an installation tool kit, and the user guide.
【Easy installation】Just simply mount it to windshield, connect the power cable, the car camera will automatically on/off when the engine ignition on/off. Perfect for new or experienced motorists.
The Beschoi 1080p Mini Dash Cam comes equipped with a six element-sharp, 170 degree, wide angle lens that lets you view a lot of what is on the road around you, instead of just what is going on ahead of you. It offers six power functions, including super HDR, G-sensor, motion detection, parking monitoring, loop recording, and time stamp.
This dash cam will turn on and automatically begin recording as soon as you turn on the ignition. It will automatically shut itself off when you shut down, unless you are using the parking mode. It offers many features, including collision detection. Thanks to the built-in G-Sensor, this dash cam will save and lock video data.
This dash cam has a 2.0 inch display, so you can easily see what is being recorded, but it isn't large enough to be distracting. There is even a built-in microphone and high quality speakers. It comes with the camera, a car charger, a 32GB SD card, a USB cable, a suction mount, and the user manual.
If you are spending many hours on the road, you need to have a dash cam for your own protection. In a perfect world, you will never need it to give you proof of an accident. But this is not a perfect world, and there are too many careless and reckless drivers out there. Any of the above dash cams will be ideal to have inside your rig. A dash cam will let you see everything on the road around you, and if you are in an accident, you have evidence for a police report and an insurance claim.


Making a smart financial decision isn't always as straightforward as what you buy. How you pay for something can be tremendously important in how satisfied you ultimately are with your purchase. The same holds true for buying a car. Here are a few of the points you will want to consider when weighing the pros and cons of saving to buy a new car.
In theory, saving up for a car so that you can have lower monthly payments is a good idea. For a very small percentage of people, this may work. However, it is important to consider your other bills. Interest payments add up. If you have high interest rate credit cards, you should worry about paying down those cards before saving up for a car.
If you need a car and you need it now (for example, if winter is coming), then you might not have the time to save money. When this is the situation, you need to get behind the wheel quickly. Further, saving up can be a very frustrating experience, especially when you need a car immediately. This is a major reason that most people choose financing.
Saving all the money you need, or even a sizable down payment, could dramatically curtail the kind of cars that you are able to buy. However, if you opt to finance a car, it is possible to get the exact car you want instead of waiting.
Your credit score and the rebuilding of a credit score is intimately linked to taking on credit and then making timely and consistent payments. Do this and your credit score will improve; however, when you opt to pay cash for a car or any other large purchase, your credit score will not improve.
Overall, the cons of saving up for a new car seem to outweigh the pros. Keep in mind getting all the cash you need for a new car will take considerable time. This is why so many drivers ultimately opt for financing options.

Marmennilin in Elduvík
By William Heinesen, the most famous poet and novelist of the Faroes.
Marmennil (merman) is a creature that is said to live at the bottom of the sea. He looks like a human but is smaller and has long fingers. He likes to tease fishermen by biting of the bait off their hooks and attaching the hooks to the bottom of the sea so the line will break.
Arnfinn was a farmer in Elduvík. The story says that once Marmennilin wanted to tease the farmer Arnfinn, when he was out fishing. Marmennilin wanted to stick the farmer's hook to the bottom of the sea but it went wrong. The hook got stuck in his hand, and Marmennelin was pulled up into the boat. The men on the boat made the sign of the cross and brought the beast home.
After that the men would bring the beast out fishing with them, and every time they would make the sign of the cross when the beast was on board. When there were fish under the boat, Marmennilin would start laughing and playing. The men would throw their hooks out and always caught fish.
Arnfinn had Marmennilin for many years but one day when the men put the boat in the water, the breaking waves were so strong that they forgot to do the sign of the cross. As soon as the boat was out on the sea, Marmennilin escaped the boat and jumped into the sea, never to be seen again.
Preserving the legend
In autumn 2016, the village council of Elduvík decided that they should elect people in a committee to work towards preserving the legend about the merman (Marmennilin).
The first step was to find an artist who would undertake the task of making a statue that would illuminate the legend of the merman. Early in 2017 the artist Hans Pauli Olsen accepted this task.
The statue was revealed on 23 August 2020.

It was all about our DNA at the EASD – by Emily Burns
Research,Type 1,Type 2
Sep 29, 2017 No Comment
Genetics was high on the agenda at this year's EASD, with a move toward challenging the 'one-size-fits-all' approach of diagnosing and treating different types of diabetes.
Using genetics to prevent Type 1
TrialNet screens relatives of people with Type 1 diabetes to work out their personal risk of developing the condition. They have now screened over 175,000 people.
They can help people at risk of Type 1 diabetes to get involved with research, to help us learn more about how the condition develops and potentially test therapies that might slow it down. If we find treatments that work, a pathway like this could be used to prevent Type 1 from developing.
The pathway currently uses information about the person's immune system to calculate their risk, but researchers in Exeter, including Diabetes UK fellow Dr Richard Oram, want to bring genetics into the mix.
Changes in several genes have been linked to a higher – or lower – risk of Type 1 diabetes. The research team has developed a 'genetic risk score': essentially a calculator that uses 30 genetic changes that have been linked to Type 1 diabetes to work out a person's risk of developing the condition. The calculator helps to distinguish between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, to reduce the chances of someone getting misdiagnosed.
They've teamed up with TrialNet to see if the genetic risk score could be used to help predict the risk of Type 1 in their pathway. So far, they've tested it in 1,244 people enrolled on TrialNet – with promising results.
So if TrialNet is doing fine with their immune system tests, what's the point? Everyone's risk is different: two people could both be at risk, but at different levels. Combining the genetic risk score with current tests could start to add more detail to our grainy picture, helping to spread people across the 'risk scale'.
Genome dark matter
Professor Ferrer talks potential
Professor Jorge Ferrer, Imperial College London, delivered the prestigious Albert Renold Lecture, focusing on the potentials that genetic research holds.
"Our genome contains approximately 20,000 genes, which encode for the proteins needed for our cells to function. We now know that the human genome contains a much larger number of DNA stretches that act as switches that turn genes on or off in different cells," explains Prof Ferrer.
He's right: research often focuses on genes, essentially paragraphs of instructions on how to build proteins, the building blocks of our bodies. But those genes – all 20,000 of them – only represent about 2 per cent of our overall genetic code, or our DNA. What about the other 98 per cent? What does that DNA do, and if it goes wrong, what impact could it have in the context of diabetes?
There are forms of diabetes, such as MODY, that are caused by a single change (or mutation) in a gene. But those are relatively rare. Meanwhile, the role of genetics in Type 2 diabetes is more grey, as factors like ethnicity, age and our lifestyles all play a role.
So far, genetic studies in diabetes have focused on the genes, or the 2 per cent. The other 98 per cent contains switches that are able to turn particular genes on or off. Prof Ferrer suggests that Type 2 diabetes is linked to mutations within the switches, rather than the genes themselves.
While this makes the picture a bit more complex, it also opens up opportunities to develop new drugs. "This exposes networks that can be targeted to develop more effective therapies to halt this devastating disease."
Making genetics the norm
Professor Pearson delivering his lecture
Professor Ewan Pearson, Dundee University, was awarded the Minkowski Named Lecture, highlighting potentials of genetics once again.
Prof Pearson rightly argues that everyone with diabetes is different, so it's likely that they'll need to manage their condition in different ways – something we're not currently geared up to do. He believes that genetics – and the variations our genes – could hold the key.
At the moment, scientists run tests to find mutations in genes. This is how we find people with the really rare forms of diabetes like MODY. But what about Type 2 diabetes? While much more complex, Prof Pearson predicts that one day you'll be able to pull up your genetic information in your medical records, right alongside your weight and age.
If that became the case, doctors could use your genetics to make decisions about what treatments to give you. We're already starting to see that some people respond differently to certain treatments, such as metformin, based on their genes.
If the researchers above are right, genetics could help to personalise the prediction, prevention and management of all forms of diabetes in the future.
And in case you didn't catch it, there's another EASD update on the research that hit the headlines.

What You Should Have Noticed in April
by Steve Ruiz | Apr 25, 2014 | Blog
Welcome to this month's edition of What You Should Have Noticed, wherein I try to hit the highlights of this month's art news, paying special attention to those stories that touch on our city on the lake. We've got plenty to talk abut, so let's get started:
United States Artists Comes to Chicago
In this month's biggest local story, the LA-based organization United States Artists has left the doldrum left coast for sunny Chicago. The organization, which is backed by an over twenty million dollar endowment from the Ford, Rockefeller, Prudential, and Rasmuson Foundations, will continue to distribute unrestricted grants of $50,000 each to individual artists. Past awardees include Theaster Games, Chris Ware, Martha Rosler, Catherine Sullivan, and Mark Bradford. Selection is by nomination, but don't let that stop you from buying drinks for new CEO Carolina Jayram, former executive director of the Chicago Artists Coalition, and the rest of the new staff at United States Artists: Meg Leary, Britton Bertran, Anna Harris, and Kipa L. Davis.
Union! Union! Art Handlers Win Big
It's no secret that the work of art rarely ends in the studio. The shipping, crating, boxing, handling, transportation, installation, conservation, and restoration of art takes money, work, and a lot of workers. Last year, London-based Frieze drew widespread criticism by refusing union labor at its Frieze Art Fair in New York. This year, the workers were ready with protests after the fair announced it would again refuse to hire union workers. Happily, the protests were successful, leading to a reversal of Frieze's labor position and an agreement to use Teamster labor at this year's fair. Meanwhile, in Chicago, 31 of our city's finest art handlers at Mana-Terry Dowd broke the company's allegedly militant anti-unionism and voted to join Teamsters Local 705. Here's hoping the movement spreads.
This month's highlight Facebook discussion came from an observation made by Marc Fischer (of Public Collectors, and author of consistently excellent status updates) that much of William J. O'Brien's art at the MCA "very closely resemble the aesthetics of a number of African American folk artists, and developmentally challenged artists that the MCA (or the Renaissance Society) never exhibits," especially evoking folky face jug traditions and works by Judith Scott. Were you surprised that the ceramics and craft on display at the museum came from a tweedy white guy?
Judith Scott
Theaster Gates Café in Logan Square
Not news to everyone, but Theaster Gates has joined the Elastic Arts Foundation on a project to build a café in the Hairpin Lofts building at the corner of Milwaukee and Diversey. We call that Avondale, but who cares – visitors will be able to walk a few more blocks to see the amazing Big Smile Dentist display at 2833 N. Milwaukee.
Roberta Smith on James Franco, George W. Bush, and Roberta Smith
Next time it comes up in conversation, you might cleverly comment that 'the worst part about celebrity invasion of the contemporary arts space is that it has only begun.' From Jay Z and Lady Gaga's collaborative works with (or riffs on) Marina Abramovic, to Wu-Tang's revelation – technically a March issue – that they'll be shopping around a single-copy exhibition of a new album at ticketed museum listening parties, the trend is gaining traction. Cue this month's exhibition at Pace Gallery of actor James Franco's recreations of Cindy Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills," described by Roberta Smith as embarrassing, clueless, narcissistic, desperate, confused, and (oddly) sympathetic; while Sherman herself describes the project as flattering, but not quite art. Somewhere in intellectual hell, Bourdieu pens appendices in disappearing ink.
Speaking of clumsy celebrity forays into contemporary art: while Franco may be shooting for the peak of art's claim to cultural significance and landing somewhere in the zone of lame pretension, former president George W. Bush (two wars, etc.) is showing up on this month's art radar from the opposite direction. His paintings of things, places, and political leaders, exhibited this month at the Southern Methodist University's George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, are also shitty and interesting.
And – AND! – speaking of Smith herself, she gave a lecture this month at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, in which she introduced her own history as an art writer, encouraged every artist capable of doing something other than art to do that instead, and handled some of the most god-awful audience questions this writer has ever suffered. These included representatives of the true conservative art camp in Chicago as well as the kinda-pretty-conservative-sounding New Art Examiner crowd (they're rebooting under the name New Art Examiner Now, so we'll see how that goes).
Tony Fitzpatrick Leaving Chicago
Tony Fitzpatrick – local artist, writer, and monument to a decades-past kind of Saul Bellows Maxwell Street Market broad shoulders hard working class dimestore sticker soda Chicago culture – is leaving Chicago for New Orleans. Aw, he'll be back.
Lamin 8 Buys Seaburg
Our favorite framer just got acquired. Bummer.
And that's it for this month! I probably skipped some important news, of course, such as the bevy of MFA shows opening this week or which have opened already, or the late but beautiful arrival of spring in Chicago (and accompanying murder statistics), but hey, I'm trying to keep this thing under 1000 words. Tune in next month for May's wrap-up.

Experience meaningful success at every step.
We know the journey to becoming a true "revenue marketing" organization can take time. In order to speed up the process and deliver real results along the way, we've created a methodology adapted from agile software development. Our agile marketing methodology quickly builds your marketing revenue engine capabilities through "sprints," while still continuing to drive leads and pipeline via campaigns.
Our years of experience give us a deep understanding of the tasks, dependencies and resource requirements to build scalable and efficient revenue marketing engines.
We start by assessing your overall business and systems and then break-down the infrastructure components needed to achieve your end goals. We then map a logical succession of sprints that include continuous campaigns to drive pipeline AND the infrastructure improvements that will have the biggest impact on your ability to grow and scale.
Building a true revenue marketing engine is much more than just hiring marketing rockstars and implementing fancy new tools. Our approach includes a defined set of improvements around people, processes, and technology.
We help you assess how to build and develop your demand gen and marketing operations teams through hiring, training, and coaching, as well as by supplying specialized skills that you may not have full-time.
Creating a results-focused marketing organization requires coordination not just within your team but across your organization. We review your lead hand-off, lead follow-up and/or customer interactions to uncover opportunities for improved revenue marketing performance.
We review your utilization of Marketo, Salesforce.com, and related Martech in terms of scalability, ease-of-use, and ability to produce ROI marketing metrics that matter to the business.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach but rather unique to each client. The deliverables for each sprint are dependent on your company's sales cycle, inputs and culture. But each sprint moves you closer to your strategic demand gen goals, while providing you with short-term wins.
This modular style of working with clients allows us to keep focused on driving results, quickly adapt to any changing business priorities and test your current infrastructure to see what's needed in upcoming sprints.
Let's discuss your unique needs on a 30 minute call.

Q: How to refer to amino acids by their single-letter abbreviations in ChemicalData[]? ChemicalData["AminoAcids"] returns the 20 amino acids. There are some properties available, like the molar mass:
ChemicalData["L-Alanine", "MolarMass"]

Is there a way to refer to amino-acids using their single-letter abbreviation? For example, L-Alanine is A. I know that
ChemicalData["A", "MolarMass"]

is too ambiguous. I also tried
ChemicalData[{"AminoAcids", A"}, "MolarMass"]

but it doesn't work.
The problem is that I have a protein sequence in single-letter form and I want to calculate its molar mass. I could build a dictionary by hand to translate from single-letter to full amino-acid name. But I'm wondering if it is implemented already.

A: Not an answer (community wiki)
Thanks to J.M. for a correction to the 3-letter abbreviations.
aaList = {"LAlanine", "LCysteine", "LAsparticAcid", "LGlutamicAcid","LPhenylalanine", "Glycine", "LHistidine", "LIsoleucine", "LLysine", "LLeucine", "LMethionine", "LAsparagine","LPyrrolysine", "LProline", "LGlutamine", "LArginine", "LSerine", "LThreonine", "Selenocysteine", "LValine", "LTryptophan","LTyrosine"};

Standard Amino Acids (22) incorporated on ribosome

 "Pyl", "Sel" -> "Sec", "Iso" -> "Ile", "Try" -> "Trp"}, {12 ->
"Asn", 15 -> "Gln"}]

Example One
Transpose[{oneLetterAA, threeLetterAA, stdAA, nameAA,

Example Two. The molecular weight of bovine serum albumin (bsa)
aaToMMass = Thread[oneLetterAA -> Map[ChemicalData[#, "MolarMass"] &, oneLetterAA /. oneToStdAA]];

Import Sequence

Sequence molar mass of bovine serum albumin
bsaMolarMass = Total[# /. aaToMMass]  - (Length@# - 1) ChemicalData["Water", "MolarMass"] &@
Flatten@Characters@StringReplace[bsaSequenceData, Whitespace -> ""]

69323.  g/mol
69332.0 g/mol

Thanks to J.M. for suggesting ChemicalData["Water", "MolarMass"].  I had originally just multiplied by 18.
If "MolecularMass" is preferred to "MolarMass" (see here)
aaMolecularMass = Thread[ChemicalData["AminoAcids", "StandardName"] ->
ChemicalData["AminoAcids", "MolecularMass"]];

bsaMolecularMass = Total[# /. aaMolecularMass]  - (Length@# - 1) ChemicalData["Water",
  "MolecularMass"] &@(Flatten@
 Characters@StringReplace[bsaSequenceData, Whitespace -> ""] /.
oneToStdAA)

As pointed out by J.M., an advantage of using "MolecularMass" is that the result may converted to kilodaltons

Putting it all together:
importedSequence2 = Import["http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=

51.2581kDa, 472 amino acids,
>gi|45479207|gb|AAS66653.1| variable surface glycoprotein [Trypanosoma evansi]

A: Well, I guess the only way is to build up a rule to do the conversion for you. I've done just that, so here it is:
abb = {"A" -> "L-Alanine", "R" -> "L-Arginine", "N" -> "LAsparagine",
       "D" -> "LAsparticAcid", "C" -> "LCysteine", "E" -> "L-GlutamicAcid",
       "Q" -> "L-Glutamine", "G" -> "Glycine", "H" -> "L-Histidine",
       "I" -> "L-Isoleucine", "L" -> "L-Leucine", "K" -> "Lysine",
       "M" -> "L-Methionine", "F" -> "L-Phenylalanine", "P" -> "L-Proline",
       "S" -> "L-Serine", "T" -> "L-Threonine", "W" -> "L-Tryptophan",
       "Y" -> "L-Tyrosine", "V" -> "L-Valine", "U" -> "Selenocysteine",
       "O" -> "LPyrrolysine" }

Now let's use it:
Map[ChemicalData[#, "MolarMass"] &, {"Y", "A", "R", "F"} /. abb]

Bruins Beat
by Bob Morello
Bruins end season
Bruins fans were hopeful that the ominous footsteps they heard following the team's five-game win streak were not the sounds of missing the playoffs. After all, the Bruins fans have been treated to the playoffs the entire seven seasons that Coach Claude Julien has held the reins. Well, not so this year. The 2014-15 season roster experienced several stretches of inconsistency – so much so that it cost them a playoff appearance. Over the course of this season this column has addressed the signs of inconsistency, yet it is still hard to understand why it couldn't be corrected.
As a result, Boston Bruins President Cam Neely announced on Wednesday, that Peter Chiarelli had been relieved of his duties as General Manager of the Boston Bruins. An Interim General Manager will not be named at this time and the search for a new hire – which will be led by Bruins Chief Executive Officer Charlie Jacobs and Neely – will begin immediately. The Bruins current Assistant General Managers, Player Personnel Staff and Coaching Staff will remain in place at this time.
Monday's 'Year-end Availability' with the players did not really give any answers as to why this had happened, only the realization that it could not be used as an excuse for missing the playoffs! To a man, each player responded in much the same way, touching on the inconsistency factor, and admitting it had existed.
Beginning at the top with coach Julien, who during the press conference stated: "When they played the system they played well, but they weren't consistently playing it…I think there's a lot of players that did it well, there's other players that didn't do it as well as others and it created those situations. When those things happen it becomes a confidence issue. You trust each other out there on doing the right thing and that's the biggest challenge for a coach nowadays is getting the whole team to play the same way and trusting each other that the right thing is going to be done. I think there was times that for different reasons that wasn't happening."
Zdeno Chara explained that the lack of consistent effort bothered him as a captain of the team…"It's not ideal. It's something that you wish you would have that every game. Even though there have been up and downs this season, you're going to have some stretches of going through games that are going to be rough. But again, we never hit that time of the year that we would go on a roll and then could afford to have those kind of games or spans where we knew that okay, now we're in a little bit of a slump. But you can afford those when you get on a roll, you win seven, eight, nine games out of ten or eleven and you can build a little cushion. But we never had that."
Patrice Bergeron didn't hold back when asked if the team's lack of consistency is why they didn't make the playoffs…"Yeah, I agree with it one hundred percent. I think from day one, you know, we've lacked consistency all year and we've let huge points slip by late in games to obviously shootouts. We've had some stretches of good hockey followed with another same kind of stretch of not so good hockey and it definitely hurt us right now to get into the playoffs."
Last season's Vezina Trophy winner; Tuukka Rask put it out there with, "We didn't play consistent hockey, even within the games. We barely put a sixty-minute game together, so that won't take you too far, obviously. But we battled and we were really close, but when you can't find that consistency over the course of 82 games, you have failed as a team. That's why we're not in the playoffs."
Milan Lucic, often mentioned as possible future trade material, summed it up with, "We had some winning streaks and we had an 8-1-2 streak in March. I just think that there was too much inconsistency throughout individuals and players on the team, and we didn't bring our best game night-in, night-out. I think that's what hurt us, because personally I still believe in the game plan, and I think the game plan works, and will continue to work. It's just about being more consistent in our game as players."
Dennis Seidenberg played in all 82 games following knee surgery, his explanation was, "Well, I think consistency is definitely one thing. We did play well for five, ten games and then we just wiped it out right after for the next five to ten games. So we never really a grasp on success and ran with it. It was always an up and down, and that's what cost us at the end. Chris Kelly expressed his feeling that the players' inability to execute the coach's system was key, "The system that's put in place since I've been here is a winning system and we had followed the system and everyone had success. For whatever reason we didn't follow it on a consistent basis and when we did we had success but it wasn't there enough this year."
Finally, Adam McQuaid's frustration was felt in his answer, "I mean, I don't know for what reason the consistency was probably the main thing that was difficult for us this year. Not only within games, but from game to game. We would have a good period and maybe a not so good period, and then we would go on a stretch of winning games and a stretch of losing games. That kind of seems to be the pattern; you just want to focus on playing and not analyzing. It was a focus of ours to try to bring that consistency and we weren't able to find it."

In an interview with Healthcare IT News, John Kansky, President and CEO of Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE), shares his opinion on why state and regional Health Information Exchange (HIE) organizations are a key part of national interoperability and explains how they can work with emergent vendor sponsored networks.
Michigan is one of the states that has a strong health information exchange. Great Lakes Health Connect has an established, sustainable business model that connect healthcare providers and organizations to the information they need to care for patients and reduce the cost of care overall.
Despite years of success, the national conversation about interoperability and the emerging vendor model of interoperability continues to overlook the success of health information exchanges.
John explains, "Vendor driven interoperability was designed to work across many markets, states, and regions." John challenges vendors to be more adaptable when there is an HIE in the market, state, region that is successful – connecting the "last mile", normalizing data, sustaining repositories, and is able to exchange data readily.
As a health information exchange, Great Lakes Health Connect will work with any EHR that our participants require. We have already interfaced with over 50+ vendors and continue to expand those relationships every year.
In their HIMSS19 presentation, John and his colleague, Keith Kelley, IHI COO, will explore this history of HIEs and highlight the enduring value that they bring by working in concert with vendor driven interoperability.
Check out the full article here. If you are headed to HIMSS19 next week, we'd love to connect with you before or after their presentation.


Adventure doesn't have to mean discomfort, as these luxury mountain lodges prove. This network of eight lodges have all the home comforts you could expect, but are within striking distance of the Himalayan foothills and command excellent views of Everest, among other peaks.
The Everest region is located in the northeast of Nepal. The 10-day walk through the middle hills of Solu to the higher altitudes of Khumbu to the base of Sagarmatha, or Mt. Everest, the world's highest peak, is an opportunity to observe and participate in the daily life of the legendary Sherpa people. The prime attraction – the 8,848 m peak of Mt. Everest – lies in Sagarmatha National Park, which is also home to two other eight thousanders – Lhotse and Cho Oyu – besides several other prominent peaks above 6,000 m.

Jack Shore says he wont be taking Vaughn Lee lightly heading into their 'Super Saturday' showdown.
One of the UK's hottest prospects Jack Shore takes on UFC veteran Vaughn Lee at Cage Warriors 92 on March 24 and he's promising that he's going to be making the most of his big opportunity.
The Cage Warriors 92 fight card is being billed as 'Super Saturday' and with no fewer than three title fights on the line, the stage is set for some new champions to be crowned and some new names to come to the fore of the European MMA scene.
Shore, unbeaten both in his amateur and professional MMA career, will get the opportunity to make a big statement when he faces Lee and speaking to MMANytt.com earlier this week, the Welshman explained that the size of the occasion hadn't been lost on him.
"I didn't actually ask for the fight, they came to me and asked if it was one I wanted for my first fight at bantamweight," Shore said. "Why wouldn't I want to fight Vaughn Lee? He's got more fights in the UFC than I've had professional fights.
Whilst Lee has the experience advantage over Shore, the Welshman sees clear paths to victory. Wearing Lee down and making him feel the pace of the fight is something Shore says is going to pay dividends and he sees himself getting the job done in the latter stages.
"Vaughn has a very awkward style on the feet," Shore said. "He's really fast in transitions and on the feet, he's got that awkward sort of kicking, in and out style. I see myself as a good boxer though and I'm good at judging the right range.
Having fought at featherweight so far in his career, the move down to bantamweight opens up plenty of opportunities and new matchups. Shore went on to explain that the 135-pounds Cage Warriors title is the one he wants for the minute and that a win on March 24 will put him within touching distance of the belt.
"I want the bantamweight title, definitely," Shore said. "If I win this fight Cage Warriors have said that it will likely put me next in line to fight for the title later this year.
The current Cage Warriors champion, Nathaniel Wood, also fights on March 24 and is no stranger to Shore having seen him fight his teammate Josh Reed last year.
"I got nothing personal against Nathaniel, he's obviously a very good fighter and I respect him for fighting the top guys at the UK and European level. He deserves to be the champion and he had a crazy fight against Josh in a crazy fight that could've gone either way. He's obviously very skilful and I think it would be a great test for me at the end of the year if he doesn't move on.

BUENA VISTA, Va.—The Southern Virginia University football team jumped out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead during Saturday's homecoming game against NCAA Division II Brevard College before the Tornados responded with 35 unanswered points on the way to a 41-21 win over the Knights.
Tommy Davidson (Paradise, Calif.) had a career day for the Knights on defense setting a single-game tackle record against the Tornados with 21 total tackles—13 solo and 8 assists—as the senior linebacker moved into first place on Southern Virginia's all-time tackles list with 283 career tackles.
Despite turning the ball over seven times—Southern Virginia recovered five of the Tornados' seven fumbles while intercepting senior quarterback Aaron Reese twice—Brevard recorded 582 yards of total offense against the Knights, including 519 rushing yards on 70 attempts.
Brevard senior running back Rodney Donald led all rushers with 191 yards on the ground, including two touchdowns, while averaging 10.1 yards per carry. Freshman running back Jack Woerner also eclipsed the century mark for the Tornados with 102 rushing yards on the afternoon and one touchdown.
Senior linebacker Brett Kassel (Madison, Miss.), who had three interceptions and one fumble recovery last week at Guilford, gave the Knights excellent field position midway through the first quarter when he recovered a Tornado fumble on the Brevard 38-yard line. Southern Virginia capitalized on Brevard's early miscue scoring the game's first touchdown just over a minute later on a one-yard rush by freshman running back Jerry Washington (Gloucester, Va.).
After the Tornados went 4-and-out on their ensuing possession, sophomore quarterback Mitch Stevenson (Muskogee, Okla.) connected with senior receiver Dewayne Beamon (Eastern Wayne, N.C.) for a 62-yard strike, leading to a 13-yard touchdown run by freshman Terry Eytcheson (Apache Junction, Ariz.) as the Knights grabbed a 14-0 lead with 4:24 still remaining in the opening quarter.
Brevard responded to its early deficit on its next play from scrimmage as Donald went 50-yards untouched into the end-zone—the first of five unanswered touchdowns by the Tornados. The Tornados also turned up the pressure defensively, holding Southern Virginia's offense scoreless over the final 49 minutes of play.
The Knights' third and final touchdown came in the fourth quarter when sophomore linebacker Kody Winsor (West Richland, Wash.) returned a Brevard fumble 10 yards to the end zone making it 21-35 Tornados with 12:58 remaining in the game.
Southern Virginnia would come no closer, however, as Brevard scored one more touchdown with just over a minute left on the clock to reach the final score.
Junior punter Brenton Estorffe (Mooloolaba, Australia) also had a standout day for the Knights setting Southern Virginia single-game records for most punts (10) and most yards punting (354).
Coming off a career performance at Guilford College last Saturday, Stevenson finished 21-of-40 for 216 passing yards, but was picked off a season-high four times by the Brevard secondary.
With the loss, Southern Virginia falls to 2-4 on the season (1-4 NAIA) while Brevard climbs to 3-4 (1-3 conference).
The Knights travel to Newport News, Va. next Saturday, Oct. 22 to face The Apprentice School at 1 p.m. EDT.

Q: Sed - Replacing text string containing parentheses, commas and unspecified number of whitespaces Assume an alphanumeric text string that contains a section comprising a keyword, parentheses, and commas as well as a line break and an unspecified number of whitespaces immediately following some or all of the commas. How do I replace such a section from the text string with a simple comma in bash (preferentially using sed)?
Example:
$ cat have.txt
foo (keyword(00001..00002),keyword(00003..00004),
   keyword(00005..00006),keyword(00007..00008)) foo
$ cat want.txt
foo (keyword(00001..00002,00003..00004,00005..00006,00007..00008)) foo

Attempt:
$ sed 's/),keyword(/,/g' have.txt
foo (keyword(00001..00002,00003..00004),
   keyword(00005..00006,00007..00008)) foo

(And, yes, I know that whitespaces can be captured via [[:space:]].)

A: With GNU sed:
sed -z 's/),\s*keyword(/,/g' file

With -z,  you will be able to match linebreaks, the \s* will match zero or more whitespace including those linebreaks.
To actually modify the file use
sed -z -i 's/),\s*keyword(/,/g' file

A: cat >> edrep.txt << EOF

2s/   //
%s/(//g
%s/)//g
%s/keyword//g
1s/00001/\(keyword\(00001/
2s/8/8))/
1,2j
wq
EOF

ed -s file.txt < edrep.txt

I know this one has already been answered, but I felt like posting this solution anyway.  People here will probably consider it hackish; but the point is that you can climb around text files like a monkey with ed, and I don't know of any other program which lets you do that to the same degree.

I nefropidi (Nephropidae ) sono una famiglia di crostacei decapodi marini.

Distribuzione e habitat
Possono essere trovati in tutti gli oceani, e vivono sia in zone con fondali rocciosi che con fondali sabbiosi. Di solito si trovano oltre il limitare della piattaforma continentale.

Descrizione
Sono invertebrati con un esoscheletro molto protettivo. Come molti artropodi, devono cambiarlo tramite una muta. Durante quel processo sono vulnerabili.

Hanno 10 arti, dei quali le prime tre paia sono chele; le chele della prima coppia sono molto più grandi delle altre. Testa e torace sono fusi insieme nel cefalotorace, coperto da un carapace di chitina, che presenta un rostro abbastanza lungo. La lunghezza delle antenne è maggiore di quella del corpo.

Si distinguono dagli Enoplometopidae per la conformazione delle chele, dai Chilenophoberidae estinti per il reticolo delle scanalature sul carapace.

Biologia
Alcuni presentano organismi simbiotici, cioè cicliofori del genere Symbion nelle branchie o nella bocca.

Comportamento
Molti si rifugiano spesso negli anfratti tra le rocce. Alcune specie, come Thymopsis nilenta, vivono in aree molto profonde, anche oltre i 3000 m di profondità. Mangiano la propria pelle dopo la muta.

Alimentazione
Sono onnivori ma si nutrono prevalentemente di invertebrati acquatici come molluschi, vermi e altri crostacei.

Riproduzione

Pesca
Le specie pescate più frequentemente sono Homarus americanus, Homarus gammarus e Nephrops norvegicus.

Tassonomia
In questa famiglia sono riconosciuti 17 generi:

 Acanthacaris
 Dinochelus
 Eunephrops
 Homarinus
 Homarus
 Metanephrops
 Neophoberus
 Nephropides
 Nephrops
 Nephropsis
 Phoberus
 Thaumastocheles
 Thaumastochelopsis
 Thymopides
 Thymops
 Thymopsis
 Wongastacia

Report: Spagnuolo favorite to land Chiefs' DC job
Michael McClymont
Al Bello / Getty Images Sport / Getty
Less than 24 hours after the Kansas City Chiefs fired defensive coordinator Bob Sutton, Steve Spagnuolo has emerged as the favorite to replace him, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Spagnuolo has spent six years as a defensive coordinator, most recently with the New York Giants, and four years as a head coach.
The 59-year-old worked with Chiefs bench boss Andy Reid from 1999-2006 in Philadelphia, serving as a defensive assistant, defensive backs coach, and linebackers coach during his tenure with the Eagles.
Spagnuolo last coached in 2017.


Julissa Arce, a writer, social justice advocate, and former investment banker who made headlines when she revealed her undocumented immigration status, will serve as the guest speaker for Pasadena City College's 2017 Commencement ceremony.
Arce was chosen from a list assembled by a committee of faculty, administrators, and students by Superintendent/President Rajen Vurdien.
Arce started her career on Wall Street as an analyst at Goldman Sachs. A rare woman of color in a male-dominated field, she found success as an investment banker, even gaining promotions during widespread turmoil in the field during the Great Recession. When she reached the office of vice president at Goldman Sachs, it was revealed that she was in fact an undocumented immigrant from Mexico.
In the years that followed, Arce turned to advocacy to help those who would follow in her footsteps. She published a book, My (Underground) American Dream (Entre Las Sombras del Sueño Americano), and began speaking out for immigrant rights in a number of forums. She has spoken at TEDx and the Forbes Reinventing America Summit, and her writing has appeared on CNN, The Hill, Refinery29, and Fusion, among other outlets.
She is the chairman and co-founder of the Ascend Educational Fund, which offers scholarships and mentorship to immigrant students in New York City, regardless of their ethnicity, national origin, or immigration status. She also serves on the board of directors of the National Immigration Law Center and CollegeSpring. In August 2014 she took the Oath of Allegiance and became an American citizen.
PCC's Commencement ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 16, at 7 p.m. in Robinson Stadium.
