Older fathers pass on more mutations and diseases to Children compared to mothers – Scientists
Photo by Johnny Cohen on Unsplash
In a new study, researchers have described why older male fruit flies are more likely to pass on mutations to their offspring, which may shed light on the risk of inherited disease in humans. The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps this explains why more new mutations are inherited from fathers than from mothers.
However, this does not explain why older fathers pass on more mutations and diseases to children than younger ones. The mechanisms that might underlie these well-documented trends have long remained a mystery, the study said.
Scientists at Rockefeller University in the US studied mutations that occur during the production of sperm from germ cells, known as spermatogenesis. They found that mutations are common in the testes of both young and old fruit flies, but are more abundant from the start in older flies.
The findings were published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
Moreover, many of these mutations appear to be removed in younger fruit flies during spermatogenesis by the body's genome repair mechanisms—but fail to be fixed in the testes of older flies.
"We sought to test whether the older germline is less efficient at repairing mutations, or whether the older germline begins to mutate more," said first author Evan Witt.
"Our results suggest that it is actually both. At each stage of spermatogenesis, there are more mutations per RNA molecule in older flies than in younger flies," Witt said.
Genomes are kept in order by several repair mechanisms.
When it comes to testicles, they have to work overtime; the testis has the highest level of gene expression of any organ. Additionally, genes that are highly expressed in spermatogenesis tend to have fewer mutations than those that are not.
It sounds counterintuitive, but according to the study, it makes sense. One theory to explain why the testes express so many genes posits that it could be a kind of genome surveillance mechanism — a way to detect and then remove problematic mutations, the study said.
But when it comes to older sperm, the researchers found that the weed apparently sizzles. Previous research suggests that a faulty repair mechanism associated with transcription, which only fixes transcribed genes, could be to blame.
To get these results, the researchers performed single-cell sequencing of RNA from the testes of about 300 fruit flies, about half of which were young (48 hours old) and half old (25 days old), advancing a line of inquiry they began in 2019, according to studies.
To understand whether the mutations they detected were somatic, or inherited from the flies' parents, or de novo — arising in the germline of individual flies — they then sequenced each fly's genome, the study said.
They were able to document that each mutation was a true original.
"We can directly say that this mutation was not present in the DNA of the same fly in its somatic cells," Witt said. "We know it's a de novo mutation."
This unconventional approach—inferring genomic mutations from single-cell RNA sequencing and comparing them to genomic data—allowed researchers to match mutations to the type of cell in which they occurred.
"It's a good way to compare mutational load between cell types because you can track them during spermatogenesis," Witt said.
The next step is to extend the analysis to more age groups of flies and test whether or not this mechanism of transcriptional repair can emerge — and if so, identify the pathways responsible, Witt said.
"What genes really drive the difference between old and young flies in terms of mutation repair?" Witt asked.
Because fruit flies have a high reproductive rate, examining their mutational patterns may offer new insights into the effect of new mutations on human health and evolution, the study said.
"It is largely unknown whether the more mutated male germline is more or less fertile than the less mutated.
"There hasn't been a lot of research on this, except at the population level. And if people inherit more mutations from aging fathers, it increases the likelihood of de novo genetic disorders or certain types of cancer," Witt said.

Honeybees are under threat worldwide because of virulent viruses against which they have no natural defenses. Nearly all colonies in the wild have died out and without beekeepers to care for them, honeybees could disappear in a few years.
Beekeeping is a most enjoyable, fascinating and interesting hobby – and you get to eat your own honey too. Every year local beekeeping associations run courses to help new people to take up beekeeping and even help them find the equipment they need and a colony of bees. Training programs continue to allow enthusiasts to become Master Beekeepers. For more information about becoming a beekeeper visit this Beekeeping Associations page from the American Bee Journal.
2. Who do you call when you see a swarm?
Swarming is a natural process when colonies of honeybees can increase their numbers. If you see a swarm contact the local authority or the police who will contact a local beekeeper who will collect the swarm and take it away. Honeybees in a swarm are usually very gentle and present very little danger. They can be made aggressive if disturbed or sprayed with water. Just leave them alone and wait for a competent beekeeper to arrive.
In areas of the country where there are few agricultural crops, honeybees rely upon garden flowers to ensure they have a diverse diet and to provide nectar and pollen. Encourage honeybees to visit your garden by planting single flowering plants and vegetables. Go for all the allium family, all the mints, all beans except French beans and flowering herbs. Bees like daisy-shaped flowers – asters and sunflowers, also tall plants like hollyhocks, larkspur and foxgloves. Bees need a lot of pollen and trees are a good source of food. Willows and lime trees are exceptionally good.
Bees use water for various purposes in the hive—in the summer they use the water to cool the temperature down, and in the winter they use it to help decrystalize the honey. Bees do not store water. They retrieve it when they need it. A single hive can use up to one liter of water a day on hot days. Baby bees (larvae) need water in the hive to survive so the nurse bees can produce the proper food for the larvae. The water cools the hive by using evaporative cooling. The water comes into the hive and is placed in specific locations and the worker bees in the hive fan their wings basically creating air conditioning.
Some of the country's best gardens and open spaces are managed by local authorities. Recently authorities have recognized the value of planning gardens, roundabouts and other areas with flowers that attract bees. Encourage your authority to improve the area you live in by adventurous planting schemes. These can often be maintained by local residents if the authority feels they do not have sufficient resources.
Honeybees have been on this earth for about 25 million years and are ideally adapted to their natural environment. Without honeybees the environment would be dramatically diminished. Invite a beekeeper to come and talk to any local group you support and give an illustrated talk about the honeybee and the products of the hive.
Bees do not like the smell of alcohol on people, the "animal" smell of leather clothing, even watch straps. Bees regard dark clothing as a threat – it could be a bear! Bees are sometimes confused by scented soaps, shampoos and perfumes, best avoided near the hive.
A short list of examples may include: Neem Oil, Vinegar, Epsom Salt, Chrysanthemums, Pepper, Garlic, and Onion, Castile Soap, Essential Oils.

Why do we need hip camp?
This is the first of two articles from the Hip Camp blog, which features posts about what's happening in the world of hip-hop culture.
The first article will cover the topic of hip camp.
Hip camp is a new type of music and art-form that combines the music of the '70s with the art of the future.
The second article is a look at the latest trends in hip-hip art.
Hip-hop music and the hip-shoes are the two most talked about topics among young people, but what is hip-camp and why does it exist?
It's a new genre of music that combines elements of hip hop and hip-slash, which are both popular in the UK.
The music was made by people who were in their twenties and early thirties and it was a genre of alternative music popular in Britain in the early to mid-90s.
It was a new kind of music, and it wasn't necessarily hip hop.
It also didn't have a very particular sound, but it was more than just the music.
You had a lot of different genres and subgenres and sub-genres.
There was a lot to choose from.
There were things that were very popular in that era, like the R&B sound and the pop and hip hop, and there were things like R&am and R&ad, which were alternative hip-Hop.
Hip hop, for example, has always been about getting a group of people together and just making music together, but in the '90s hip hop started getting more popular.
Hip Hop culture has always had a bit of a different feel to it than a lot, or even some genres of music.
But hip hop is the music that is now really, really popular.
It's been in pop music, it's been pop music in film, it has a huge presence in television, it is the pop music that everyone has been listening to for years, and you get a lot more people into music now.
It is now in pop culture that the music is seen as having more power and more impact than ever before.
So, hip-hops became popular because they had a very different feel and were more powerful and more influential.
That is what is happening today.
There are so many different kinds of hip artists.
There is a lot that is very mainstream, like Lil Wayne, who is popular and very popular right now.
But there is also a lot from the underground, like Killer Mike and Young Thug.
It has always existed.
Hip hip has always meant a certain type of sound.
You have the Riddim, the Kurupt, the Skrillex, the Lil Wayne sound, and the KRS-One sound.
They all have their own style, their own sound, which is what hip hip is.
The hip hip scene is a big place and it's a very, very diverse place.
You can't really define it by one person.
There have been so many people doing it, but there are so, so many others doing it as well.
The reason why hip hip has been around for so long is because it is so unique.
Hip is not a style or a genre.
Hip Hip is a style.
Hip rap is not an art form.
Hip, in fact, is a term that people have used to describe this new type, hip hip, which has been popping up all over the world.
There has always, for people, been this idea that hip is a word, it sounds like hip, and this is what it is.
Hip has always stood for something different.
The word hip comes from the Latin word, hipa.
Hip means hip, hip, a person.
Hiphop is a kind of sound, it also comes from hip, meaning to go.
So it's kind of the sound of hip.
Hip comes from being able to go out to clubs, to perform.
It comes from doing things, doing things to get people to like you and want to follow you, to get you to play your music, to show your confidence.
Hip culture has changed so much in the past decade or so.
There's this whole world of culture where people are having fun, doing good, getting into trouble, and making money off of what they are doing.
There used to be people who did it for the money, and they were in a way, making a lot out of it.
But now, people are doing it for themselves and doing what they love, and that's hip.
That's the sound hip is making.
So hip hip came about because it's about being able go out and make music, because there is a music that has been made and is really popular all over, so people can come to you and get into the club and perform.
Hip had always existed, but hip hip was different because it was the sound that was happening, and people wanted to hear that sound, to see what was happening.
They wanted to be able to

The Story of U.S. Naval Air Station, Ottumwa, Iowa 1942-1947
Local Ottumwa historian E.M. "Elsie Mae" Cofer has written the history of NAS Ottumwa in an excellent book titled "Carrier On The Prairie". This 318 page volume is well documented and provides a wealth of detail into the building of the base, as well as all aspects of life at the Naval Air Station during World War II. Solidly researched facts and delightful anecdotes create a story that goes far beyond local interest.
From the book dust jacket . . .
"Ottumwa, Iowa. Where on earth is that?" more than one sailor asked upon receiving his orders. Instead of heading for the Fleet as expected, he ended up in the middle of the country about as far from salt water as he could be. During the Second World War, NAS Ottumwa served as a primary flight training station. Naval aviators soared over lush com and oat fields in summer and braved Iowa's frigid winters to learn to fly in open-cockpit Stearman biplanes. Nearly 5,000 cadets and officer trainees completed primary training in Ottumwa. A future U.S. President and some of the first female aviation machinist mates in the nation were numbered among the naval air station's population which averaged about 3,500. When the war ended, flight training operations ceased, and NAS Ottumwa became a Pre-Flight training facility for another two years, closing in the fall of 1947.
Carrier on the Prairie is the story of a Navy base and its association with a nearby Midwestern town as both deal with housing shortages, anxious wartime circumstances, youthful flying escapades, romances, flood fighting experiences, and rapidly changing political and moral viewpoints.

Engineering Interventions to Reduce Plastic in the Environment
Jenna R. Jambeck
Author: Jenna R. Jambeck
In 1970 just over 30 million metric tons of plastics were produced globally for use; now that number stands at 359 million metric tons (Geyer et al. 2017[1]; PlasticsEurope 2019). As of 2017, a cumulative 8.3 billion metric tons of plastics had been produced.
Plastics are unquestionably useful. And many consumer items are made from plastic because the needed monomers, like ethylene, are available at very inexpensive prices. But too many of them end up in the waste stream.
Plastics: An Unsustainable Convenience
Because 40 percent or more of plastics are used in packaging and other single-use items, 6.4 billion metric tons of plastics had already become waste by 2015. Only 9 percent of plastic waste has been recycled on average globally, and 12 percent has been incinerated. This means that 79 percent ended up in landfills, mismanaged on land, or in the ocean. Plastics are now found everywhere in the environment, from the deepest part of the ocean to the highest peaks in the world and all points in between.
Between 5 and 13 million metric tons of plastic enter the oceans each year from mismanaged waste (Jambeck et al. 2015; Lebreton and Andrady 2019), equal to about a dump truck of plastic entering the world's oceans every minute. Globally, hundreds of seabirds, whales, fish, shellfish, and turtles are impacted each year by plastic, whether from ingestion or entanglement (Wilcox et al. 2013, 2015; Worm et al. 2017).
Even with current mitigation practices, improved waste management systems, and cleanup, new research shows that 20–53 million metric tons of plastic will enter all aquatic systems per year by 2030. Much more aggressive reductions, improvements, and cleanup are needed (Borrelle et al. 2020).
Role of Engineers and Engineering
Effective engineering involves not just designing a construction project or technical intervention but a systems approach that accounts for diverse people and communities. It needs to incorporate sociotechnical designs, like improved waste management systems that include the informal waste management sector, which keeps plastic out of the ocean by recycling it in many countries around the world, as well as deep stakeholder engagement from start to finish, acknowledging that community leaders and members have local and native knowledge that not only contributes to but improves designs and approaches.
Engineers can help not just by developing more and improved waste management infrastructure but by decoupling waste generation from economic growth by leveraging technology with context-sensitive designs. Technology and shipping and logistics systems mean greater availability of reusable packaging. For example,
just as milk used to be delivered in glass bottles that were returned and reused, individuals can now purchase a stainless steel ice cream container (available online) that can be returned and refilled;
reusable cups and to-go containers can be tracked and associated with users for automatic payment with radio frequency identification (RFID); and
reusable containers can be refilled with trusted brands from a truck that travels through a community.
If packaging is needed, it can be made from bio-degradable materials, such as new polymers like poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA) that behave like traditional plastics in specifications but biodegrade at their end of life.
In addition, mobile app technology, available to billions of people around the world, can be used for on-demand collection of waste and recyclable material as well as reports of litter with, for example, Marine Debris Tracker, to inform upstream interventions for common items found in the environment and on the coastline. This information can empower communities with data to make decisions about ways to reduce marine litter that fit their specific context.
These are some of the ways both new and "old" systems can enhance efficiency and reduce waste in today's high-tech society.
People could be more thoughtful about where, when, and how they use and dispose of plastics. But to move forward to, for example, a circular economy, entire systems need to be engineered and changed. Can we take cues from nature where every output becomes an input in each system?
As engineering proceeds over the next 50 years, it is critical to take a diverse and holistic approach, while learning lessons from the past to engineer the future.

U.S. Department of Energy sets strategy for dealing with spent fuel
The U.S. Department of Energy released the Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste (local copy of pdf).
The document largely follows the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission that was established in January 2010 to "conduct a comprehensive review of policies for managing the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle." The commission issued its final report in January 2012.
The key elements of the new strategy outlined in the document as follows:
"With the appropriate authorizations from Congress, the Administration currently plans to implement a program over the next 10 years that:
Sites, designs and licenses, constructs and begins operations of a pilot interim storage facility by 2021 with an initial focus on accepting used nuclear fuel from shut-down reactor sites;
Advances toward the siting and licensing of a larger interim storage facility to be available by 2025 that will have sufficient capacity to provide flexibility in the waste management system and allows for acceptance of enough used nuclear fuel to reduce expected government liabilities; and
Makes demonstrable progress on the siting and characterization of repository sites to facilitate the availability of a geologic repository by 2048."

How a Struggling School got Saved
Grand Canyon University is alive and well after surviving a near-death experience.
The campus teems with energy. Students attend class. Construction crews create spaces to work and play. Students fill new residence halls. Concerts and plays bring a state-of-the-art arena to life.
The bustling activity is a far cry from seven years ago when Grand Canyon was days away from closing.
Today, the private, for-profit university campus in west Phoenix heralds its renaissance with a $213 million expansion and 44,000 students, while maintaining its small class sizes and emphasis on Christian values.
The transition hasn't been easy. Moving from a private, non-profit model to a for-profit university with a considerable online component brought challenges. What university officials discovered, however, is a melding of online and traditional higher education.
As more universities explore an online strategy, Grand Canyon provides a blueprint for success.
With a scholarship and family assistance, Amanda Gardner enrolled in Grand Canyon's music program in 2004.
What she found was startling and depressing. Rumors of financial problems swirled. Gardner practiced in a portable building with a piano slowly sinking into the deteriorating floor.
"It was very surreal," Gardner said. "The instructors were great, but even they were waiting to see if the school would still be there the next year."
In April 2005, she learned that the music program would close. Her dream derailed.
In 2004-05, Grand Canyon was $20 million in debt. An unceremonious ending loomed for the private college founded in Prescott in 1949.
Typically, universities rely heavily on alumni donors to build endowments, to attract top professors and researchers, and to expand courses and facilities. Many of the dollars come from philanthropists, corporations and alumni donors who have found success in the business world.
For 60 years, Grand Canyon, which relocated to Phoenix in 1951, has focused on liberal-arts education, primarily nursing and teaching – fields that don't generate the salaries that help grow endowments.
And with an enrollment in 2004 of about 1,000 students, tuition didn't cover costs to maintain programs and keep the lights on.
Grand Canyon, at 33rd Avenue and Camelback Road, was failing. But where others saw its demise, Brent Richardson, now executive chairman of the board, saw its potential.
Richardson's Masters Online company was partnering with Grand Canyon to launch an online component when the school's closure was imminent. He saw the university's strengths – a well-respected reputation and status as a private, Christian university in a state with few options – and refused to let Grand Canyon die, rallying investors to save the school.
At the time, colleges offering online degrees were required to have a physical presence. With the acquisition of Grand Canyon in 2004, Richardson moved quickly to build the online component, creating various Master of Education programs for working adults. The move improved the cash flow, but the university couldn't afford to keep all its existing programs, including music.
Facing an uncertain future and with little time to apply for other universities, Gardner decided to enroll at Glendale Community College. She figured that she could at least complete basic courses while she regrouped.
During her first semester, Gardner learned that Disney offered a college program at its Florida theme park. She auditioned and won a character role.
It wasn't the opera stage she envisioned, but it was an opportunity.
The new Grand Canyon investors were looking for opportunities, too. They needed to improve crumbling buildings on campus and to construct top-notch facilities to attract more traditional students and high-end faculty.
"We look at ourselves as a traditional school that has online. We need to be successful at both," Richardson said.
A cash infusion was necessary, and the investors decided to adopt a for-profit model. They turned to Brian Mueller, a former executive at Apollo Group, parent company of University of Phoenix, leaning heavily on his for-profit, online expertise.
An initial public offering generated about $30 million and online education still fuels growth.
Today, Grand Canyon has 40,000 online students, half of whom seek graduate degrees, mostly in education and health care.
Across the country, colleges and universities have discovered the lucrative nature of online learning. According to a 2009 survey, nearly 4 million college students, more than 20 percent of all students, have taken at least one online course.
Increasing online courses is a goal of the Arizona Board of Regents' Arizona Higher Education Enterprise strategy introduced last year for the state's public institutions.
But online, for-profit universities have faced increased scrutiny as critics and regulators question tuition costs, student-loan defaults, enrollment strategies and job potential for degree holders.
Grand Canyon is no exception.
Its parent company paid $5.2 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that Grand Canyon violated U.S. Department of Education enrollment regulations.
Administrators now are addressing other Education Department issues and are providing information about its program to a U.S. Senate committee studying for-profit universities.
Mueller is confident that Grand Canyon's practices meet regulations, and he touts student benefits.
Richardson said in hindsight, he wishes that it could have remained a non-profit school, but then the university wouldn't have cash to improve the 112-acre campus.
Using funds generated from investors and online programs, Grand Canyon officials are spending heavily on the campus. A $213 million expansion includes two new dormitories, a student recreation center, classroom buildings and the showpiece – a 5,000-seat, $40 million arena that will be home to the school's basketball team and offer public concerts and events.
In the past four years, the number of traditional students has grown from 1,000 to about 4,000, with 45 percent of those living on campus. Mueller said the university is confident that it can grow to 11,000 on campus within three years.
After a year in Florida, Gardner returned to Grand Canyon only to suffer an illness that caused her to lose her singing voice. She spent the next few years rebuilding her prized instrument.
Gardner stopped by Grand Canyon in summer 2010 to pick up her transcripts and was told its music program was being revived. Gardner auditioned and received a hefty scholarship. She'll graduate in May.
"I spent years being angry at GCU for disrupting my plans," Gardner said. "But now is the time to be here; there's a lot more promise here. It's an incredible difference."
Private universities are needed to help grow and diversify higher-education options in Arizona. Grand Canyon's model is proving effective. Melding traditional and online offerings has worked for Grand Canyon's students and Richardson's investors.
"We saved a great school for Arizona," Richardson said, "and it's going to be there for a long time."

Q1-5. Directions: The following five sentences have to be arranged in the proper sequence, so as to form a meaningful paragraph. On the basis of your sequencing, answer the questions that follow.
a) As this trend continued across various school boards 100% cut-offs stopped disapproving. Now cut-offs even soar 'beyond' 100%.
b) So when CBSE gave as many as 16 extra marks in the class XII maths exam in 2016, students with 77 may have ended up getting 93 marks. This is not only unjust to the truly distinguished students but it can hurt more average students as well, by giving them a false sense of academic worth.
c) This policy means that upon complaints that a question paper is too tough, the board recommends extra marks for examinees.
d) In 2011, a Delhi University college sparked a major uproar when it set a 100% cut-off for a course.
e) What promises welcome relief from this unsustainably feverish trend is CBSE and other school boards' effort to end the marks moderation policy, which has inflated board exam results without corresponding gain in learning.
f) But the university vice-chancellor explained this in the context of how the number of Central Board of Secondary Education class XII students with more than 95% marks had risen dramatically over the previous year.

Q4. After the rearrangement of sentences, what will be the FIFTH sentence?
Q5. After the rearrangement of sentences, what will be the THIRD sentence?
Q6-10. Directions: The following five sentences have to be arranged in the proper sequence, so as to form a meaningful paragraph. On the basis of your sequencing, answer the questions that follow.
a) That should be the job of an asset reconstruction company (ARC). Banks should be free to sell off their bad loans to ARCs for a consideration, get recapitalised and move on to resume hindered lending.
b) The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to expand the strength and operational scope of the oversight committee for restructuring bank debt is welcome but not adequate.
c) This is not what is utopian. The banks should not be burdened with the job of resolving bad loans.
d) The solution is to create a competitive market for stressed assets, with multiple so-called vulture funds in the fray along with the ARCs now in play.
e) The committee proposes, under the current thinking, to give its nod to defaulting debtors who are taken up for decision under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
f) The ARCs should decide how to restructure the companies underlying the assets they purchase. The difficulty in selling bad loans to an ARC is fixing the haircut that the bank should take.
Q6. After the rearrangement of sentences, what will be the FIRST sentence?
Q7. After the rearrangement of sentences, what will be the LAST (SIXTH) sentence?
Q8. After the rearrangement of sentences, what will be the FIFTH sentence?
Q9. After the rearrangement of sentences, what will be the FOURTH sentence?
Q10. After the rearrangement of sentences, what will be the THIRD sentence?
SO THE CORRECT SEQUENCE IS- dfaecb.
THE CORRECT SEQUENCE IS- becafd.

François Laruelle (French: [laʁɥɛl] (listen) ; born 22 August 1937) is a French philosopher, formerly of the Collège international de philosophie and the University of Paris X: Nanterre. Laruelle has been publishing since the early 1970s and now has around twenty book-length titles to his name. Alumnus of the École Normale Supérieure, Laruelle is notable for developing a science of philosophy that he calls non-philosophy. He currently directs an international organisation dedicated to furthering the cause of non-philosophy, the Organisation Non-Philosophique Internationale.
Laruelle divides his work into five periods: Philosophy I (1971–1981), Philosophy II (1981–1995), Philosophy III (1995–2002), Philosophy IV (2002–2008), and Philosophy V (2008–present). The work comprising Philosophy I finds Laruelle attempting to subvert concepts found in Nietzsche, Heidegger, Deleuze and Derrida. Even at this early stage one can identify Laruelle's interest in adopting a transcendental stance towards philosophy. With Philosophy II, Laruelle makes a determined effort to develop a transcendental approach to philosophy itself. However, it is not until Philosophy III that Laruelle claims to have started the work of non-philosophy.
Main article: Non-philosophy
Laruelle claims that all forms of philosophy (from ancient philosophy to analytic philosophy to deconstruction and so on) are structured around a prior decision, but that all forms of philosophy remain constitutively blind to this decision. The 'decision' that Laruelle is concerned with here is the dialectical splitting of the world in order to grasp the world philosophically. Laruelle claims that the decisional structure of philosophy can only be grasped non-philosophically. In this sense, non-philosophy is a science of philosophy.
Reception and influence
Until a decade ago, he has been described by Scottish philosopher Ray Brassier as "the most important unknown philosopher working in Europe today"[4] and was described by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari as "engaged in one of the most interesting undertakings of contemporary philosophy."[5] English-language reception of his work owes most to the efforts of Brassier, who published an account of Laruelle's non-philosophy in Radical Philosophy in 2003 and critically incorporated aspects of that work into his own project, set out in Nihil Unbound.[6] Nowadays, Laruelle's international reception is growing with dozens of titles a year translated and published in English by such publishing houses as Edinburgh University Press, Continuum, Palgrave Macmillan, Columbia University Press, Urbanomic/Sequence and others.

We are entering the penultimate month of the year, during which the first uncertainties and questions that feed our thoughts about the approaching new year begin to emerge. What is the influence of the lunar phases of this month of November on us? Here are the recommendations of the lunar calendar for November 2018.
This phase of the lunar calendar for November 2018 is the ideal time to start some investments in the financial field. It's also the right time to plan and achieve your goals because the chances of success are great.
When it comes to health, this period is not indicated for surgeries and treatments, because the recovery period will last longer. However, this phase that will start on 07/11 at 07:08 am is ideal, if you want to start a beauty treatment and invest in clothes.
When it comes to heart matters, for those who are in a serious relationship and have difficulties, it can be an opportunity for them to start again and renew their love. For singles, enjoy the New Moon to go out a little, meet new people.
During the growing phase of the Moon that starts at 2:11 pm, you will gain energy. This will be the moment to defend all your projects with firmness and will. At this point, everything you undertake will have a great chance of success, your dedication and your willingness to develop new projects will reach its climax.
This lunar phase is beneficial for overcoming obstacles, discovering opportunities and finding the best way forward. You must focus on your new ideas and get rid of those that are stagnant and without a future.
Emotionally, you have to start a new story or take the first step to make an existing relationship serious.
This period of the lunar calendar for November also requires that you enrich your curriculum and engage in continuing education. This phase is also ideal for starting long-term treatments.
According to the forecasts of this phase of the lunar calendar for November 2018, it is not the moment to let your emotions guide you.
This phase, which will begin on 23/11 at 05:40 am, is conducive to teamwork, good fruits will probably be harvested. But it's important to note that this will only happen if you know how to manage your team.
For your health, if you are planning a radical change, surgery or any other procedure in this area, you should probably wait. Let the Full Moon phase pass, because it is a very risky period.
Enjoy the energy of the moon and strengthen your love life, whether you are single or in a relationship, what really matters is to use and abuse this moment of love.
This lunar calendar phase of November 2018 will start at 00:00. It's a great time to chase bad influences, bad habits, negative influences, to detoxify the body.
This phase is also interesting to break with bad habits, lose weight. In terms of human activities, the waning moon is more favorable to material activities, relations involving duration.
Introspection between November 29th and 30th will bring you answers to the important questions that you ask yourself because all the magical faculties will recharge, the power will be turned inward.

Cafeteria Workers at Facebook Vote for First Union Contract, Winning Big Improvements for Food Service Workers in the Tech Industry
MENLO PARK—In late February, approximately 500 food service workers at Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters voted overwhelmingly to ratify their first union contract with Facebook's food service contractor Flagship Facility Services.
The five-year contract includes needed economic improvements including: $4.75 per hour in raises, affordable healthcare, and a defined benefit pension plan.
"We're glad to have negotiated this first contract; it's a big step forward for cafeteria workers in Silicon Valley. We still have work to do, and we're not going to stop until all the food service jobs have the job standards and security that people need to live a decent life," said Enrique Fernandez of UNITE HERE Local 19.
Food service workers at Facebook began organizing for a union in 2017 in response to rising cost of housing and other living expenses in Silicon Valley. "This is a huge victory for me and for my family. My kids, husband and I are finally going to be able to go to the doctor," said Alejandra Abonce, a cafeteria worker at Flagship. "Growing up, we could never take vacations. With the raises that we won, I can actually imagine taking vacation with my family and actually retiring some day."
The contract is the latest labor victories for service workers in Silicon Valley. Cafeteria workers at Yahoo joined Local 19 in the last three months, while cafeteria workers at Nvidia made improvements in their contract including a $19/hour minimum wage. Thousands of other service workers, janitors, security officers, and shuttle drivers have unionized in recent years as part of Silicon Valley Rising, a coordinated campaign of labor, faith and community groups working to inspire the tech industry to build an inclusive middle class in Silicon Valley.
"We're excited to see these cafeteria workers join the more than 5,000 Silicon Valley tech service workers who have organized for a better quality of life in one of the most expensive areas of the country. This victory by cafeteria workers is helping lead the way in creating a fairer and more inclusive tech economy for everyone in the region," said Maria Noel Fernandez, Silicon Valley Rising Campaign Director.
Foodservice workers at Facebook facilities in Seattle and New York city also won the union last year and are working on negotiating first contracts in the coming months.
UNITE HERE Local 19 works to build the Tech Industry into one that provides good, sustainable jobs for all workers involved in creating and maintaining its success. It represents over 4,500 workers throughout Northern California, including cafeteria workers at Yahoo, Nvidia and Intel.

Student Involvement Awards
Sign up is live! Register for IFC or Panhellenic Recruitment Today!
Why Be Greek at CCU?
Greek life is an important part of the co-curricular experience of the students at Coastal Carolina University. Students who are involved outside the classroom do better academically, report a more satisfying educational experience, and persist to graduation in greater numbers than their counterparts who choose not to become involved. Greek life is built upon a commitment to the ritualistic values of their organizations, a commitment to service, an understanding of their responsibility for being a contributing member of the community, and to the personal and professional development of members.
How did you adapt to COVID-19 and what is the plan for Fall 2021?
In Fall 2020 and Spring 2021, recruitment and membership intake processes were held virtually. Despite the challenges, the fraternity and sorority community continued to prosper in membership numbers and member involvement.
All recruitment activities for the College Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council are planned to be held in person for Fall 2021. Intake for National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters will be dictated by Inter/ National organization policies.
College Panhellenic Council
To join a Panhellenic Sorority, potential new members will go through the Formal Recruitment process during the Fall Semester. The Formal Recruitment process is a values-based, mutual selection process where potential new members will meet each of our 7 sororities. At the end of the Recruitment process, a potential new member may receive an invitation to join 1 sorority.
Panhellenic recruitment will be held August 26- 31, 2021. Check back throughout the summer for updates regarding the recruitment process and the schedule. Panhellenic will provide more details to women who sign up as the date gets closer.
To sign up for Panhellenic sorority recruitment, follow this link: ccupanhellenic.mycampusdirector2.com
You must be a full-time, fully matriculated Coastal Carolina University student in order to join a Greek organization.
While there is no GPA requirement to go through the Formal Recruitment Process, many sororities have their own GPA requirements and use potential new member's GPA as a factor in the mutual selection process. A GPA of at least 2.5 is highly encouraged.
Panhellenic Sorority Dues range from $400-$700 per semester. If you are interested in joining a Panhellenic Sorority, it is highly recommended that you have a financial plan to be able to pay your dues each semester.
Potential new members are encouraged to attend organization kick-off day, which will be held August 20, 2021 and Coastal Greek Day on August 23, 2021. By attending these events, potential members will be able to meet members in all of the organizations and eventually find the organization that is best for them.
Contact Info: ccupanhellenic@gmail.com
Interfraternity Council
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) hosts a Recruitment Week at the beginning of every Fall and Spring semester. The first day of Recruitment is an opportunity for potential new members to meet all 7 IFC Fraternities. IFC recruitment will be held September 12-16, 2021.
To sign up for IFC fraternity recruitment, follow this link: ccuifc.mycampusdirector2.com
IFC requires a 2.7 GPA to go through recruitment. If you have less than 12 college-credits, your high school GPA will be used to calculate eligibility.
IFC Fraternity dues typically range from $400-$700 per semester. If you are interested in joining an IFC Fraternity, it is highly recommended that you have a financial plan to be able to pay your dues each semester.
Contact Info: coastalcarolinaifc@gmail.com
National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organizations conduct a process called "intake" for aspiring members of their organizations. Intake processes tend to begin later in the semester. Intake processes are not regularly scheduled occurances, so aspiring members can learn when NPHC organizations are conducting intake by following their social media accounts and by looking for their flyers posted on bulletin boards in the Lib Jackson Student Union and other areas on campus. Anyone interested in joining an NPHC organization will learn about the organization's specific requirements for membership by attending that organization's Interest Meeting.
Before joining an NPHC organization, all students seeking membership are required to attend at least one NPHC Convocation event during their collegiate career. NPHC Convocations are held every Fall and Spring Semester. The Fall 2021 Convocation will be September 1, 2021 at 7pm.
NPHC organizations typically require aspirants to have a 2.5 GPA and at least 12-credit hours at Coastal Carolina University. Individual organizational standards may vary, and all information will be available to aspirants as they attend an organization's Interest Meeting.
NPHC organizations require you to pay your membership dues before you can begin the intake process. It is recommended that you have at least $2,000 before seeking membership. This is a one time payment for the National Organization. Yearly membership dues for chapter operations are minimal and vary between organizations.
Students aspiring to be a member of an NPHC organization are encouraged to attend organization kick-off day, which will be held August 20, 2021 and Coastal Greek Day on August 23, 2021. By attending these events, potential members will be able to meet members in all of the organizations and eventually find the organization that is best for them.

Q: Edit joomla template according to my design template I just want to know can I customized joomla template to looks like my design template ? I already designed  a template for customer. But  he needs to develop his website using joomla. So I have to put my template to the joomla. is that possible ? if it is please send me some reference. I'm going thought with references.

A: Joomla templates are based around a PHP index file and allow you to create overrides for each of the content types output by Joomla.
The Joomla Doc's site has a section on templates that you should start with.
Make sure you read up on Template Overrides and Module Chrome as well. Reviewing the templates installed by Joomla is also a good place to start. You can get a good feel for how they are structured and what they're capable of by looking at the default templates.
By the way if your client is only just building their website now they should be starting with Joomla 3.2 not 2.5, it has a lot of great features and is very Bootstrap friendly. In fact the tag line for the 3 series is "Mobile Ready"
Template systems like JooStrap also have Bootstrap 3 integrated already.

A:
I just want to know can I customized joomla template to looks like my
design template ?

That's tedious works; the opposite is easier. Your design can be turned to Joomla template. Just add template codes to your HTML and your design can be used as Joomla template.
For example, you need to add the following code before <html>:
<?php defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );?>

For a basic guide, visit: https://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_basic_Joomla!_template
There are also codes to display your website contents and modules.

At Least Ten Other Men Could Rival Genghis Khan's Genetic Legacy
AlenVL/Shutterstock.com
By Janet Fang
As many as 0.5 percent of the world's male population could be descendants of Genghis Khan, the famously fecund warrior who ruled Mongolia over 700 years ago. These 16 million or so men have nearly identical Y-chromosome sequences. Turns out, there are at least 10 other men who could rival Khan's genetic legacy, according to a new study published in the European Journal of Human Genetics.
Previous work have identified two other similarly virile founding fathers: Giocangga, whose grandson founded the Qing dynasty in China in the 1600s, and a member of the Irish early medieval 'Uí Néill' dynasty. "Lots of men have lots of sons, by chance. But what normally doesn't happen is the sons have a high probability of having lots of sons themselves," University of Leicester's Mark Jobling tells Nature. "You have to have a reinforcing effect." For example, systems where "prestigious" men father lots children with many women.
To see if additional successful Y-lineage expansions can be identified, a team led by Jobling and Patricia Balaresque from CNRS/Université Paul Sabatier analyzed a total of 5,321 DNA samples from 127 Asian populations between the Middle East and Korea: They collected 461 samples from central Asia and the other 4,860 came from previously published sets. By looking at the accumulated DNA differences in shared sequences, the team was able to figure out when the founder of a lineage lived. And with a few assumptions about where their descendants might have moved over time, the researchers were able to track the geographic origins of these lineages.
Of course, the Y-chromosome lineages of Genghis Khan and Giocangga stood out—and so did nine others, though their identities are unknown right now. Altogether, the descent clusters derived from these 11 founding chromosomes represent 38 percent of the Y-chromosomes analyzed. These newly uncovered, highly represented lineages originated throughout the Asian continent—in both agricultural and nomadic cultures from the Middle East to southeast Asia—and their expansions began between 2100 BC and 1100 AD.

Ill be a forever fan of Rad Hourani. He has created a big map in terms of design and look ... Truly he has found his niche. It's not an easy job but his strong vision is firm yet evolving making him one of the most promising and iconic designers of our time. His spring summer 2012 collection intrigued us with his signature boxy silhouettes , kilt and zippers nevertheless. A jolt of blues and navy were seen. Clearly, it was practically an experimental move for Hourani who has been very specific with his look just like Owens and Pugh.

"For music lovers, Russia has always had a special reputation for rich, coal-toned basses - witness the bass parts in the Rachmaninov 'Vespers' and, of course, Chaliapin. New Zealand's Oscar Natzke was remarkable for his enunciation, the firm quality of his voice and his physical bearing.
Natzke made his operatic début at Covent Garden in 1938 and secured international renown and recording contracts especially through Parlophone. His voice is steady, dark, open to variations in volume and stentorian. During the Second World War he joined the Royal Canadian Navy and rose to the rank of Commander. He died very young at the age of 39 of a cerebral haemorrhage after collapsing a fortnight earlier during a performance of MEISTERSINGER in New York.
These discs are in two volumes with each volume comprising two discs. Production and presentation values are very high indeed with every aspect proclaiming quality. The booklets are liberally decked out with photos and full discographical details. Notes are by Peter Downes. This is a joint production of the prestige between Atoll and the National Library of New Zealand.
In Vol. 2 there are two extracts which will leave any British music enthusiast aching to hear the complete recordings. In 1942 Natzke was in Canada participating in CBC broadcasts of British opera. On 15 February 1942, Edwin Macarthur directed a Montréal performance of Rutland Boughton's IMMORTAL HOUR. On 1 March 1942 Natzka was in the studio with Arthur Benjamin for his opera THE DEVIL TAKE HER. The sound quality is superb.
"OSCAR NATZKE: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION presents for the first time every known recording by this great artist. Of the 73 tracks, 27 have not been previously issued. The 4-CD set includes not only all of his commercial discs recorded for Parlophone and Columbia, but also rare live recordings, broadcasts, test pressings, auditions and film soundtracks from Canada, the USA, England, Australia and New Zealand.
Natzke's career (the spelling was changed from Natska in 1947) encompassed Covent Garden and the New York City Opera as well as international tours and recording contracts. At an age when most basses are approaching their finest years, Natzke collapsed in New York during a performance of DIE MEISTERSINGER and died a week later. He was just 39 years old.

Grooming Gangs: The Headline That Never Was | Ewell Gregoor
Published July 24, 2020 · Updated October 1, 2020
They say the year 2020 will have to be referred to in the future by quarter, such is the significance of the year. The same can be said about the past week in British Politics. The week started with the news that from today it will be compulsory to wear a 'face covering' when shopping in Britain. A somewhat strange move, mandating PPE after the peak of a pandemic, to say the least. Qulliam Co-Founder Maajid Nawaz went on hunger strike until a petition on the Uighur Muslim genocide in China reached one-hundred thousand signatures, the milestone required for a petition to be discussed in parliament. Nawaz campaigned and demonstrated without food for four days. Only for Liberal Democrat Leadership Candidate, Ed Davey, to credit the petition to the Lib Dems, excluding Nawaz.
An own goal, considering Nawaz is usually an advocate for the Quasi-Centrist Party. Shamima Begum then reappeared having won a legal battle to be tried in the UK, under UK Law. Naturally, it divided the country. The same people who just a few days before were celebrating West Midlands Police arrested of a twelve year old boy for racially abusing Crystal Palace Striker, Wilfred Zaha on Twitter, were the same ones who led the cry to exonerate Begum of any wrong doing due to her age (15) when she fled to Syria. The same people, paradoxically, believe Greta Thunberg, also 15, to be a world expert on just about everything. The inevitable happened when It was announced that the NHS was being taken to court for giving a person hormone blockers as a child. Unsurprisingly, since the child has transcended into adulthood, they have realised they weren't ready to make a permanent life decision before they were old enough to buy a lottery ticket. A danger that many of us who are usually compared to Hitler have repeatedly warned would eventually happen. Then there was the Russian Report. It seems strange that it has taken so much time and money to confirm that Russian Foreign Policy is one that is centralised on destabilising Western Democracies. I can't wait for the next Government Report to confirm: Water is wet.
Whilst the stories mentioned above are worthy of further analysis, now is not the time. There is one story over the past week that is by far the most significant, however has gained the least press and outrage. I am talking about the TriggerPod interview with Rotherham Grooming Gang Survivor, Dr Ella Hill. The interview itself was one of the most brutally candid I have ever heard. I cried, I shouted, I despaired as Dr Hill shared her brave story. I messaged friends as I watched live and proclaimed, 'this will be significant'. However, it wasn't. The interview never spawned a Twitter Trend. No national newspapers have picked up the story, and no MP's have commented. Have people 'shut up for the sake of diversity'?
The interview was no doubt worthy of a week's long editorial in the National Press. The Grooming Scandal is by far the biggest event of injustice and corruption in British Politics. If you think this is an exaggeration, I will recall some of Dr Hill's comments from the interview.
Dr Hill started by defining what is meant when she says Grooming Gangs: it is a definition that Dr Hill herself is fighting to have recognised as the official definition, 'racially or religiously aggravated group or network-based rape'. Dr Hill, who has worked with British authorities on reports and investigations claimed that as many as half a million girls in most big cities and towns have been affected over a 40-year period. Yes, you read that correctly; half a million.
Dr Hill then proceeded to tell her harrowing story. One that started in her late teens and with her Pakistani Boyfriend. Dr Hill explained how this had become a 'religiously charged' controlling relationship. Which then resulted in Dr Hill being taken to neighbouring Sheffield and Bradford to be 'beaten and raped' in flats above takeaways. Dr Hill explained that she moved away to escape the torture, however her perpetrators found her. The perpetrators even arranged an honour killing, that Dr Hill Survived. It was the next part in the interview that left hosts, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster unable to formulate a response. They had asked Dr Hill if she had contacted the police. To which Dr Hill stated she went to the police five times, with medical notes stating that her Ex-Boyfriend had tried to kill her, to which the police said, 'there is nothing we can do'. Again, I will repeat, the police said, 'there is nothing we can do'. Dr Hill said that the police never even questioned the perpetrator or took any photographs of the evidence (Injuries).
Dr Hill told the reason for why she was not protected and why the police did not act. Muslims, immigrants, people of colour are protected groups, and white people are not. Therefore, it is not possible for a white person to be subject to a religiously or racially motivated attack. Even though Dr Hill explained that her 'whiteness' was repeatedly referenced whilst she was raped and abused. Dr Hill stated that 'references to her whiteness was always at the forefront of the perpetrators mind'. Dr Hill explained that her perpetrators used her whiteness as a justification for what they were doing. That they were allowed to do it.
The next stage to the interview had me, a Yorkshireman from a tough council estate, in tears. When the presenters made an observation that Dr Hill did not seem vengeful or speaking out from a place of revenge. Dr Hill stated that she 'will not be driven to hate anyone based on their race or religion'. And that she goes out of her way to ensure she spends times with her Pakistani friends. Dr Hill is no doubt an outstanding woman. The pride of Britain. However, some do not share that view.
The second half of the interview talked about Dr Hill's experiences on Twitter, where she admitted she and her family are 'scared of Antifa', the "anti-fascist" movement. This group blame Dr Hill for having the audacity to speak out against her injustice. I will again repeat, Anti-fascists blame and attack a Grooming Gang Rape and Attempted Murder Survivor. Not only do Antifa thugs troll and torment Dr Hill online, they have attempted to Dox Dr Hill, and have succeeded in Doxing her friends. Doxing is when personal information is released online, usually intended for harassment or harmful purposes. Now it is not hard to understand that Dr Hill is a vulnerable person, has had to change her identity and move away from her hometown. You would expect Twitter to intervene at this point. Considering Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO, being the compassionate social justice campaigner, he is. Dr Hill reported the racist, abusive and threatening comments to Twitter, to which they replied that 'it did not breach their guidelines'. Dr Hill, determined as ever, went to an external hate organisation to find out why Twitter would not protect her and remove the thug's comments. Twitter responded 'we don't remove any anti-white Tweets because white people have not been historically marginalised and oppressed'. Dr Hill is subsequently taking a break from Twitter, to escape the abuse from Antifa. That was until Tuesday, when Dorsey and his mob decided to take action, only it was against Dr Hill. Dr Hill took to social media site Parler to announce: 'This morning I see that my Twitter account has been suspended. I have not been told why. I assume it's due to "malicious mass reporting" from "the mob"'. It seems that Twitter suspended Dr Hill for telling her story. How absolutely terrifying.
After reading the above, you may join me in complete despair at why this is not front-page news, why insurmountable pressure is not placed on the government to release the Grooming Gangs Report, and why more isn't being done to tackle the issue. The Grooming Gang Scandal is the least discussed case of injustice in contemporary politics. MPs, Journalists, the Police, Social Justice Campaigners have been reticent on the subject for forty years. As LBC Radio Presenter and Quilliam Co-Founder Maajid Nawaz so accurately calls it, the Voldemort effect. If you do not speak its name, it cannot be true.
It seems The Police and other institutions charged with keeping us safe are not only reticent about the dangers of Fundamental Islam, they have learned nothing from the failures of the Grooming Scandal and seem ever more determined to jump down the woke rabbit hole. It was announced this week that the words Jihadi and Islamist Terror were under review from UK Police, as they don't help 'community relations'. It is not hard to see how the recent Black Lives Matter campaigns will make it harder for the survivors and future victims to seek justice.
The culture war is real, and the common-sense tribe have to win. I cannot imagine the future if we fail. Jack Dorsey's future. It is our collectively responsibility to demand justice for the victims and survivors of the Grooming Gangs Scandal. You can help by sharing the TriggerPod Interview, email it your MP, and send it to your local paper. The girls deserve your support.

Чарльз Джеймс Апперли (1777—1843) — английский охотник и журналист, более известный под псевдоним «Нимрод», под которым он публиковал свои работы.

Родился в Пласгронью, недалеко от Рексема, Денбишир. В период с 1805 по 1820 год активно занимался охотой на лис. В 1821 году он начал писать в журнале «The Sporting Magazine» под псевдонимом «Нимрод», став автором серии колоритных статей, которые помогли удвоить тираж журнала за год или два. Владелец журнала Питтман платил ему хорошую зарплату и покрывал все расходы на поездки Апперли. Смерть Питтмана, тем не менее, привела к судебной тяжбе Апперли с собственниками журнала касательно полученного им крупного аванса, и, чтобы избежать тюремного заключения, ему пришлось переехать в свой дом во Франции неподалёку от Кале (в 1830 году), где он также зарабатывал себе на жизнь статьями о спортивной охоте и скачках. Он умер в Лондоне 19 мая 1843 года.

Являлся, помимо статей, автором ряда книг об охоте, а также участвовал в написании статей «лошадь» и «собака» для седьмого издания Британской энциклопедии.

happiness is living in the countryside, two cats curled up somewhere nearby, radio on, and my sewing machine humming away. i'm blessed that this is now my day job and being married to the most patient and understanding man i know.
although ive had a love of cross stitch and embroidery since about 13 years of age, ive recently discovered that i really find happiness in sewing with old school vintage fabrics and together with my 'bag' fetish, A Stitch In Time came to be.
after enormous amounts of procrastination, i entered the craft market scene (as a stallholder, not a shopper - i was already one of those!) just 3 months ago and have met some incredibly talented craftsfolk and feel so at home selling my wares at some fantastic venues. with the support and encouragement of my true friends and family, not to mention wonderful compliments from complete strangers, i havn't looked back!

Q: SQL Server not starting at Windows startup but starts manually My SQL Server instance's (SQL Server 2008 R2 Express) service has Startup Type = Automatic. The past couple of times I've restarted my computer the service has failed to start on its own, but it starts just fine when I manually start the service.
Event Viewer shows that the service fails to start because of a connection timeout. There are 2 entries regarding this timeout:

Entry 1
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the SQL
  Server (SQLEXPRESS) service to connect.
Entry 2
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service failed to start due to the
  following error:  The service did not respond to the start or control
  request in a timely fashion.

I checked the ERRORLOG files and there are no errors logged around the time of those Event Viewer entries.
Any ideas on the cause of this problem or how I can investigate further?

A:
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

It looks like a simple timeout.  Windows is trying to start a lot of services at startup, and all those services can sometimes resource contention, making the startup of other services slow.  A service only has a finite amount of time to respond to the service control manager.
The easy fix for this is to set the service you care about to Automatic (Delayed Start).  Then Windows won't start it until all the other Automatic services have started.

A: Problem: SQL 2016 would no longer start on Windows start-up, but started fine when using Services panel.
Background: On a stand-alone Windows 2016 server, we had three SQL Server Express instances: 2019, 2016 and 2014. All were installed at about the same time (2019 first, then 2016, then 2014). After completing some data migration tasks, we no longer needed 2014, and uninstalled it.
Solution: Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features > SQL 2016 > Uninstall/Change > Repair. At the end, the repair message was: Missing or unspecified settings that were configured to default values: Service SID support has been enabled on the service.
See: SQL Server service SID

A: This issue happens because the SQL Server lost the logon id credentials or used an account without rights to start services.
For starting your services automatically, SQL Server needs an account with rights to start services during operating system start up.
To solve this issue you need to go
Administrative Tools > Services > SQL Server(MSSQLSERVER or the name of your instances) > Right Click >  Properties > Move to Log On > Set the Log On option using a Local System Account
If you have chosen this option, hit on Browse Button and find the Local Service Account or Network service Account there > Click in Apply.
Restart your computer and you will able to start your SQL Server.

A: Just a quick thought on something to look into, in a domain type environment, some operating systems allow you to logon to the server before full network connectivity is established.  You may want to check for either local or domain level group policy settings to not allow logon or OS startup until full network connectivity is established.
Just in case you notice this when you log onto the server after reboots, it actually logs onto the OS with the cached credential before it can reach the domain controllers to authenticate (network connectivity not fully established) with the login credential if it's a domain credential the SQLExpress service account is running as.
Not sure if that's exactly applicable in your case but this is something to at least simply investigate and try to test at least just in case.
I found this in some article I saved long ago when I had a similar issue with an AD home directory (not via login script) to map home directory for a workstation PC:
The policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon "Always Wait for the Network at Computer Startup and Logon" will be set to "Enabled".
If the following registry value doesn't exist or its value is not set to 1, then this is a finding:
Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Subkey: \Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
Value Name: SyncForegroundPolicy
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

A: Have you tried logging on as the local Administrator?
I have been having this exact same problem with SQL 2014 Express on Windows 10. I wanted to create a new user that wasn't the built-in local Administrator so I created a new user, added it to the Administrators group, set that user to autologon upon boot et voila! SQL Server service fails to start automatically.  I tried delayed start, tried Local Service, tried Network Service, tried the new administrator user, tried the Always Wait... group policy setting.  Nothing worked.
Even uninstalled SQL Server 2014 Express, rebooted, manually removed all leftover files/folders and rebooted again and reinstalled under the new administrator user.   Still no go.
Switched back to autologon as the built-in Administrator account et voila! SQL Server service is now starting automatically.
This is obviously a workaround for me so I am still researching.
** UPDATE **
Actually, my problem was rooted in the machine having been renamed previously.  Once I changed the "OriginalMachineName" value in the registry, problem solved!

A: In my case (Windows Server 2019 and SQL Server 2019), this was due to the fact that the user responsible for running as a service does not have the right to  log on as a service.
From Fix: The service did not start due to a logon failure by Milan Stanojevic:

If the right to log on as a service is revoked for the user account, restore it on a domain controller or a member server (standalone) depending on your situation.
How to restore user's right on a Domain Controller
Here's how to do this if the user is in an Active Directory domain:

*

*Right-click Start

*Click Control Panel

*Type Administrative tools and select it

*Click Active Directory Users and Computers

*Right-click the organization unit in which the user right to log on as a service was granted (Domain Controllers organizational unit by default)

*Right-click the container you want then click Properties

*Go to Group Policy tab

*Click Default Domain Controllers Policy

*Click Edit to start Group Policy Manager

*Expand Computer Configuration

*Expand Windows Settings

*Expand Security Settings.

*Expand Local Policies

*Click User Rights Assignment

*Right-click Log on as a service from the right pane

*Click Add User or Group.

*Type the name that you want to add to the policy in the User and Group Names box

*Click OK.

*Exit Group Policy Manager

*Close Group Policy properties,

*Exit the Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in

  How to restore user's right on a Member Server (stand-alone)
Here's how to do this if a user is a member of a standalone member server:

*

*Start Local Security Settings MMC snap-in.

*Expand Local Policies.

*Click the User Rights Assignment.

*Right-click Log on as a service from the right pane.

*Click Add User or Group.

*Type the name that you want to add to the policy in the User and Group Names box.

*Click OK.

*Quit the Local Security Settings MMC snap-in.

A: I went to Local service and changed
SQL Server(MSSQLSERVER
SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)
Set them to Automatic Delayed
and
Logon type to
Local System Account
Tick ( Allow service to Interact with desktop)
And it starts automatically

When Einstein Walked with Godel: Excursions to the Edge of Thought
SKU: 9780374538422 Categories: Essays, General Science, Mathematics, Philosophy
From Jim Holt, the New York Times bestselling author of Why Does the World Exist?, comes an entertaining and accessible guide to the most profound scientific and mathematical ideas of recent centuries in When Einstein Walked with Goedel Excursions to the Edge of Thought.
Does time exist? What is infinity? Why do mirrors reverse left and right but not up and down? In this scintillating collection, Holt explores the human mind, the cosmos, and the thinkers who've tried to encompass the latter with the former. With his trademark clarity and humor, Holt probes the mysteries of quantum mechanics, the quest for the foundations of mathematics, and the nature of logic and truth. Along the way, he offers intimate biographical sketches of celebrated and neglected thinkers, from the physicist Emmy Noether to the computing pioneer Alan Turing and the discoverer of fractals, Benoit Mandelbrot. Holt offers a painless and playful introduction to many of our most beautiful but least understood ideas, from Einsteinian relativity to string theory, and also invites us to consider why the greatest logician of the twentieth century believed the U.S. Constitution contained a terrible contradiction--and whether the universe truly has a future.

Farewell Rudy Cypser
Rudy Cypser, one of the elders of AVP, passed away on February 16 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Rudy was 94 years old and had been married to his wife, Betty for nearly 70 years.
After taking the AVP training in 1984, Rudy and Betty became key leaders in Westchester. They faithfully coordinated the workshops every month at for the women at Taconic Prison for more than twenty years. They also led workshops for women at Danbury Federal Prison.
The women absolutely loved them. They had a unique approach to Transforming Power. Rudy's talk on "How Wonderful You Are" was truly transformative and Betty's exercise on "Transforming Ourselves" focused on personal transformation and was inspired by the Buddhist Eightfold Path.
Rudy was also an important leader in AVP New York where he was clerk of the AVP New York Statewide Council in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He led the organization through many crucial decisions concerning the future of AVP.
In 1990 Rudy helped to organize the first AVP National Gatheringin Ossining, NY. He helped to bring together sixty-five AVP facilitators from the United States and half a dozen other countries. And at this conference the group decided to form AVP-USA. In 2000, Rudy also helped to organize the AVP-USA Conference in Garrison, NY where we celebrated the 25th anniversary of AVP.
Rudy and Betty were both authors and published many books. Among the books that Rudy published was Larry Apsey's autobiography, "Following the Light to Peace."
Before Rudy was involved in AVP, he was an engineer with a long career IBM. He and Betty had raised a large family in Katonah, NY. They might be described as radical Catholics. They studied the writings of Tiehard de Chardin and were Maryknoll Associates. As you may know, Maryknoll was the home of liberation theology.
Rudy also worked tirelessly to introduce restorative justice practices and fought for prison reform. For many years he led the CURE program in New York and lobbied in Albany for many prison reform bills.
We will miss Rudy.
–Faithful Fred Feucht
Rudy was a tireless advocate for us, for the thousand of prisoners in his workshops, for the limitless reach of transforming through every person he met. As a novice I always knew he was on my team no matter what I might not yet have learned as a facilitator in prison or community settings. His knowledge was encyclopedic only matched in intensity by his energy and devotion.
Rudy was always available for questions or a consultand relished those opportunities it seemed. Whatever the concern might be, he was eager to be in conversation about AVP and prison reform.
Mind you Betty was always involved as his faithful teammate. Hooray Betty…
–Thoughtful Tom Martin
I met Royal Rudy and Beautiful Betty Cypser at my first AVP Basic workshop at Wellesley Friends Meeting House in the late '80's. I left feeling blown away by their competence and the strength of the workshop. Their caring and respect for one another was obvious. In retrospect, I understood that it was a difficult workshop to facilitate. There was a very disruptive participant and there were several logistical difficulties which they handled with aplomb. Later I did some work with Rudy on the New York Statewide council and always was impressed with his intelligence and kindness.
