Before a specific protein can be identified and its properties can be studied, the protein must usually be separated from a sample of plant or animal tissue or extracted from a complex mixture. Extraction and purification are vital components of almost any protein-specific research effort. But the methods used during these processes will depend on the nature of both the protein and the solution. Sometimes the specific protein is caught in a matrix of other protein molecules, and sometimes it's surrounded by non-protein biological elements. In either case, a small sample of the protein may be need for research and analytical purposes, or a large quantity of the purified protein may be necessary for industrial or commercial reasons.
The worldwide market for Protein Purification is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly 8.3% over the next five years, will reach 8060 million US$ in 2023, from 5000 million US$ in 2017, according to a new GIR (Global Info Research) study.

Muslim Brotherhood treats children as pawns. Where's the outcry?
Written on August 13th, 2013 in Human Rights, Development, Peace, Democracy, Health, Food and Hunger, comment Comments Off
Published on Intrepid Report, by Linda S. Heard, August 12, 2013.
… I have every reason to be cynical when an Al Jazeera reporter, covering the festivities, revealed that the Brotherhood leadership has ordered its followers to bring their wives and children to the sit-in when plans have been firmed up to dismantle it. When she asked parents whether they feared for their kids' lives, they invariably said they were willing to sacrifice their children for the sake of democracy and freedom.
There is not one scrap of nobility in those sentiments when we don't own our children. They're not our possessions; we are duty bound to keep them safe until they branch out on their own.
But worse still, local Egyptian networks have aired videos and first-hand reports confirming that the Brotherhood's minions have lured street children to Rabaa with new clothes and the promise of regular meals, while others have been transported from orphanages in minibuses.
It's bad enough that those youngsters have been forced to camp out in searing heat, encouraged to chant martyrdom slogans they don't understand and to march bearing their own death shrouds. The older ones have been indoctrinated to hate; those who have witnessed beatings and torture, evidenced by a report from Amnesty International, will have been scarred for life. Rabaa, with its black Al-Qaeda flags, weapons protruding from windows and use of indoctrination techniques, reminiscent of those used by Jim Jones in Guyana to brainwash 918 of his following to commit suicide in 1978, has morphed from a protest into a terrorist incubator.
Interim President Adly Mansour closed the door on foreign mediation following hostile remarks from visiting U.S. Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who were told in no uncertain terms they were no longer welcome. Subsequently, it was announced that the pro-Mursi sit-ins are not only illegal but represent a threat to national security.
Egyptians are now bracing themselves for the inevitable and with extremely heavy hearts acknowledge that a minority sect, willfully clothing a political contretemps in the garb of a religion, cannot be permitted to hold an entire nation hostage. Realistically, there is no country on the planet that would permit a long term occupation of its capital's squares by armed hordes embracing jihad against their government and fellow co-religionists termed infidels … //
… Brotherhood leaders have shown no signs that they are willing to capitulate on any of their unrealistic demands, let bygones be bygones, and participate in the clearly defined new political roadmap. On Saturday, the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb, reached out to the Brotherhood with an offer to chair a national reconciliation meeting. He was rudely rebuffed.
The Egyptian government's patience isn't limitless and, indeed, it is coming under increasing public censure for neglecting to take action as soon as tens of millions gave the army a mandate to tackle violence and terrorism. President Mansour says the state holds the Muslim Brotherhood responsible for the consequences. He's right. The Brotherhood's intransigence is a sign the organization looks forward to a face-off between its hypnotized following and state security forces.
They long for victims to be displayed on our screens in the hope massive casualties will turn international opinion in their favor. No doubt, the Brotherhood's Supreme Guide and his cohorts, Mohammed al-Beltagy, Safwat el-Hegazy and Essam el-Erian, will head for their bolt holes, leaving those mesmerized crowds, including thousands of babies and children, to whatever fate has in store.

By Monday afternoon, those remaining students were relocated, and with the restoration of power by 2:30 am Wednesday morning, we were able to welcome students back for classes on Friday. The generosity of our parents in opening their homes and diligence of our administrative team in arranging and accounting for departures made possible the implementation of our plan, and all the while our dining services were providing meals and our physical plant staff were clearing fallen trees and branches.
What these events underscore to me are the three value words of our mission statement: purpose, passion, and integrity.
Imagine a school where the head of dining services walks three miles around downed trees and through a foot of snow to make sure that food can be served to our full complement of boarding students on the first day of the crisis; imagine a school where days into the event physical plant personnel put in full days at Williston, only to return to their own homes, still without power and littered with fallen branches; imagine a school where the dean of faculty, by virtue of "sneaker-net" continually circulated to each dormitory throughout the dark first night to keep dorm parents apprised of plans as they were unfolding.
We learned a lot from this crisis, as administrative teams always do when plans go from "table top" drills to real life situations. In an age so dependent upon instant communications and the battery life of cell phones or connectivity of different wireless plans, it was nice to see that student gravitated to our dining commons (which became our congregating point) to follow updates posted on the white boards. We did our best to keep the school constituencies informed of our decisions as they unfolded, with our goal to resume our academic schedule as safely and expeditiously as possible.
Seeing our students in our opening school assembly this morning, reading the delight on their faces to be back among friends, and knowing that Williston is whole once again was tremendously satisfying for all of us.

Nylon halts fatal fungal infections
Written by Tim Newman on May 25, 2018 — Fact checked by Jasmin Collier
Antifungal resistance is a real and growing problem. According to an innovative new study, nylon polymers may help to tackle fungal species that currently defy treatment.
Could nylon (depicted here) be the answer to antifungal resistance?
Although it is less well known than antibiotic resistance, antifungal resistance is also an expanding problem.
Particular fungi have always been hard to treat, but, increasingly, some that were once easy to manage are becoming ever more difficult to tackle.
For instance, the very common fungus Candida, which can cause invasive infections, is starting to become immune to conventional antifungals.
So, the race is on to design antifungal drugs that can circumnavigate this medical conundrum. One new and surprising contender is nylon.
A new antifungal?
Over recent years, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have been investigating nylon polymers' ability to fight fungi.
The authors of the new study, which was led by Nancy Keller, wanted to locate a compound that would interact with the fungus in the same way that peptides in the immune system do.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, so the team looked at other short chain molecules, and they settled on nylon.
Keller decided to join forces with microbiologist Christina Hull and chemist Samuel Gellman, who had previously developed polymers for use as antibiotics. Together, they sought to understand whether the polymers could be as successful against fungi as they had been against bacteria.
Three nylon polymers were pitted against 41 species of fungi. They compared their fungus-killing ability against azoles, a common class of antifungal drug.
The researchers were pleasantly surprised at the polymers' success rates. The nylon polymers halted the growth of 24 species, some of which are already resistant to azoles.
"The fungi are very spread out, in a biochemical way. There was no way of predicting the polymers would be active against such a wide breadth of taxa."
Nancy Keller
The scientists have now published their findings in the journal mSphere.
The species of fungi that were succesfully destroyed include Rhizopus arrhizus, which can cause life-threatening conditions in at-risk individuals, and Scedosporium prolificans, which can cause fatal infections and is impervious to existing antifungals.
However, not all fungi species succumbed. Notably, Aspergillus — a fungus that can cause serious lung conditions in susceptible people — did not respond.
A synergistic boost
Interestingly, the team found that when the polymers were used alongside azoles, fungi that were previously azole-resistant once again became susceptible to the drug. This offers a new potential treatment option; for fungi that respond to neither the polymers nor standard antifungals, it might be worth using them in unison.
Modern medicine rarely uses polymers in this way, and Gellman is excited by the possibilities they offer. He says, "Observations of this type should encourage the community to consider polymers as potentially useful biomedical agents."
How the polymers fight fungi is unclear. As Gellman puts it, "We don't really know how they work." The next phase of research will make efforts to dig into the mechanisms behind it.
Additionally, because polymer use in medicine is a fledgling technology, no one knows how many powerful polymers there are out there, waiting to be designed and tested. As Gellman concludes, "There are more structures than we can imagine."

Toyota is the second largest car manufacturer on the Global 500 (after Volkswagen) and the largest Japanese company by revenue; it raked in $279.3 billion last year, up 9% from 2020. The easing of COVID restrictions globally boosted automobile sales, as consumers who had put off purchases during lockdowns finally took the plunge; those forces helped outweigh the effects of a shortage of semiconductors. Toyota's sales of industrial equipment—forklifts in particular—also boomed 25% to $12.9 billion. Most reassuring for Toyota may be its overall profitability; its profits rose 20% in 2021, signaling that the company was staying ahead of drastic increases in raw material costs.

A representation for linear lists with movable fingers
Mark R. Brown, Robert E. Tarjan
This paper describes a data structure which is useful for representing linear lists when the pattern of accesses to a list exhibits a (perhaps time-varying) locality of reference. The structure has many of the properties of the representation proposed by Guibas, McCreight, Plass, and Roberts [4], but is substantially simpler and may be practical for lists of moderate size. The analysis of our structure includes a general treatment of the worst-case node splitting caused by consecutive insertions into a 2-3 tree.

Gardens teen headed to Instagram's first 'Kindness Prom' in California (Palm Beach Post)
May 1, 2018 Kayla Cares 4 Kids No comments
NORTH PALM BEACH — Like many other 16-year-olds, Kayla Abramowitz is headed to the prom this weekend. But this prom is unlike any other.
Two Disney Channel stars — Madison Hu and Olivia Rodrigo from the "Bizaardvark" comedy series — took over Good Morning America's Live Instagram account Monday morning and invited the William T. Dwyer High School sophomore to Instagram's first Kindness Prom Saturday night in Venice, Calif.
Radio Disney Host and DJ Miss Lela Brown will play the music. There also will be a surprise guest performance.
The prom is for students and "teen influencers" from around the country. It will be a "totally immersive, Instagrammable experience that focuses on positivity, kindness, giving back and community," according to Instagram. Instead of choosing a prom king and queen, each guest will get a kindness award.
Kayla has made national headlines and news clips for her work with Kayla Cares 4 Kids, the nonprofit she started to supply DVDs, video games, books and craft supplies to children's hospitals. She started Kayla Cares 4 Kids when she was 11 years old. She has distributed more than 17,000 items in every state, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.
"I'm really excited to meet all the other kids that are doing great, kind things," Kayla said.
Kayla said her friend Joshua Williams recommended her for an invitation. Joshua started and runs the Joshua's Heart Foundation, a youth-led nonprofit that gives out groceries, toiletries and other essentials to families in large-scale distributions once a month and smaller, weekly distributions.
Even though he lives in Miami, their first meeting will be at the prom in California, she said.
Instagram is a social media network in which users share photos or short videos they've taken, usually on a phone, with people who choose to follow them. Similar to Snapchat, the stories disappear within 24 hours.
Instagram is covering the cost of travel and accommodations for Kayla and a chaperone. Rent the Runway, a company that rents out designer dresses and accessories, is offering a free rental and accessories to wear to the prom.
Kayla picked out a "blackish-purple" ombré dress that fades to a light blue.
"It's very floral," she said. "I was able to get a lot of fun, cool stuff."

The New MINI Clubman
Explore Every CarExplore Current MINI ModelsMINI News & Reviews Archive
MINI introduces third model to its range
The new MINI Clubman will go on sale in the UK on Saturday 10 November 2007. Based on a concept first shown at Frankfurt Motor Show in 2005, the new car is a modern interpretation of its famous MINI predecessors taking into account all the demands and technologies of the 21st century.
Available from launch in three engine variants: Cooper D, Cooper and Cooper S, the new model offers flexible use of space, easier access through innovative door concepts, more space for rear passengers and high levels of safety and customisation options, all without compromising the MINI's revered driving dynamics.
The new car takes inspiration and styling cues from the Morris MINI Traveller, Austin MINI Countryman and the MINI Clubman Estate, which enjoyed widespread success in the 1960s. Combining enhanced functionality and versatility, the new MINI Clubman nevertheless stays true to the MINI design language with the retention of short body overhangs, wide track, a long wheelbase and the high shoulder line rising towards the rear.
The new MINI Clubman is 24cm longer than the Hatch, signifying 8cm more legroom for rear passengers and the opportunity for MINI to enter the market with five seats. Boot capacity has increased to 260 litres with the seats in place and up to 930 litres with the rear seats down. Access to this extra space has been made easier via the split rear doors and innovative Clubdoor on the right-hand side.
Modern high-performance engines, designed specifically for the 2nd generation MINI, feature new improvements to optimise fuel economy and emission management. Auto Start-Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and a Gearshift Point Indicator are standard on all variants and help the MINI Cooper D Clubman to achieve a low emissions figure of 109 g/km CO2.
The Clubman is the next body style in the MINI range to join the successful Hatch and Convertible models, which have sold over one million models since 2001. All three derivatives will be built at Plant Oxford, where £100 million has been invested in the past two years to increase production up to 240,000 by 2008. This is more than double the planned production capacity prior to the first car coming off the line in spring 2001.
As with the Hatch models, the petrol engines will be assembled at Plant Hams Hall in the Midlands and the body panels and sub-assemblies are from Plant Swindon. This 'MINI production triangle' employs approximately 6,800 production associates in the UK.

MINI Cooper D - £15,400
MINI Cooper S - £17,210

Accreditation is one of the most effective ways for health and social service organizations to improve the quality of their services, and to demonstrate that they meet or exceed national standards of excellence. It is an ongoing journey that uses a team approach to assess the organization's programs and services against standards specific to the care delivered. Education is an important part of this journey, helping to prepare an organization for the process. Accreditation Canada offers a number of education sessions and workshops related to accreditation and quality improvement. In addition, surveyors provide organizations with invaluable advice regarding care and services during the peer survey.
"Accreditation has enabled our SFN Health Centre to improve operations, enhance positive health outcomes for community members and offers a process for ongoing quality improvement, for the Health services we offer", comments Sandra Good.
The Health Cetnre Team has worked towards full accreditation through the application of nine sets of standards for Aboriginal Health Services: community health and wellness, substance misuse, effective organization, managing medications, infection prevention and control and integrated primary control.
As of June 2014, the SFN Health Team has been informed by Accreditation Canada that the Snuneymuxw Health Centre meets its national standards and has been fully accredited!

Basketball, Milton
STATE CHAMPS: Milton overpowers Berkmar, wins 7A state title
MACON, Ga. — They say if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
After finishing 26-5 and coming up just short of a berth to the state championship game in 2020, the Milton boys basketball team immediately turned its attention to another run at a state title in 2021.
"We didn't hide from it," Milton head coach Allen Whitehart said. "We said 'Next year is our year. We got to put in the work.'"
With a bulk of its roster returning and a trip to the Final Four under its belt, Milton was pegged as the No. 1-ranked team in Class 7A entering the 2020-21 season. Following a 2-2 start to the season, Eagles won 26 games in a row and completed their revenge tour by being crowned state champions.
No. 1 Milton (28-2) defeated No. 5 Berkmar, 52-47, Saturday night at the Macon Centreplex in the GHSA Class 7A state championship game, taking home the third state title in program history and first under Whitehart, who was hired prior to the 2017-18 season.
"We started the season No. 1 and we ended the season No. 1," Whitehart said. "We ran the table, which is tough with a bullseye on your back. The fact they're a young team like they are and were able to stay focused and not buy into the hype, it says a lot about them."
Taking down Berkmar (25-6) took a gritty performance from Milton, which had far from its best performance in the state championship game. But when it mattered most, the Eagles were able to assert their dominance and take control to complete its run at a state title.
A crucial point came late in the third quarter, with the Patriots scoring to take a 41-34 lead on the Eagles. With the Patriots and their fans feeling the momentum on their side, the young but experienced Eagles managed to keep their focus and pull off an 18-6 run in the final 9:28 of the game.
"We didn't play our best game tonight," Whitehart said. "For us to stay mentally tough and focused after struggling offensively all night, I thought it was amazing our kids were able to stay the course and do what we've done all year."
Sophomore Kanaan Carlyle, who finished with a game-high 15 points, was the go-to man down the stretch for the Eagles. The dynamic guard went 8-for-10 from the free throw line in the game's final minute. He intentionally missed a free throw with .3 seconds remaining, letting the clock run out as he began walking toward Milton's bench to celebrate.
The game was tightly contested most of the night before Berkmar took a seven-point lead late in the third quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, Milton and Berkmar were tied, 16-16. The Patriots were able to go up on the Eagles before halftime, taking a 29-27 lead into the intermission.
Berkmar had the upper hand for much of the third quarter before Milton eventually settled down, locked in defensively and mounted its state-title winning comeback.
"I can't even describe [the feeling]," Whitehart said as he stood outside the arena following the game, preparing to board the team bus back to Milton.
The season might not be over just yet for Milton. There's a chance the Eagles, ranked No. 7 in the country by MaxPreps, could be invited to Geico Nationals, a tournament in Fort Myers, Florida, where the best of the best compete for the title of national champions.
"There's been conversation, but we had to be focused on tonight," Whitehart said. "It was about Berkmar. Our kids are pretty good about staying focused, and I thought tonight and throughout the week we prepped the right way like a veteran team. We came into tonight focused on Berkmar and Berkmar only."
As for the future of the program, there's reason to believe Milton could return to the state championship next season. Only one player (Broc Bidwell) in the Eagles' main rotation of players was a senior. Carlyle and L.T. Overton will be back as a juniors, and Ohio State commit Bruce Thornton and four-star forward Kendall Campell will be seniors.
But Whitehart and company know what it takes not only to reach the state championship game but to come out on top. After winning it all and reaching the top of the mountain, they're going to take some time to soak in the view.
"It's such a hard struggle to even get to this point. I think for my kids and for me and my staff, we're just going to exhale, enjoy what we've accomplished and reflect a little bit."

How long does it take to learn to fly an airplane?
The amount of time it takes to earn a certificate depends on how often you fly, how often you study, and the frequency of your lessons. The more time you put into your goal of earning a pilot's license, the faster you will obtain it. When you reinforce your training with regular independent study, you will progress quickly. Federal Aviation Regulations require a minimum of 40 hours of training to earn a private pilot certificate. However keep in mind that very few people complete their training in 40 hours time; most people take 60-70 hours. If you study throughout the week and maintain a regular schedule of lessons, you could possibly earn your certificate in 45-50 hours.
You'll begin flying on your first lesson. Learning is a hands-on process right from the start.
Most lessons are based on a one hour flight, but plan on two hours per lesson to allow time for pre-flight and post-flight briefings.
As a private pilot you can fly just about anywhere you please. You can take your family on weekend trips, go sightseeing or just go fly for the fun of it. It's a wonderful experience that you will enjoy sharing with others.
How old do you have to be to take flying lessons?
In the U.S. there is no minimum age to start taking flight lessons, but I would encourage you to wait until you are at least 14. At age 16, you can legally solo a powered airplane and you can earn your private pilot's license at age 17.
I'm a non- U.S. citizen, what are the TSA (Transportation Safety Agency) requirements?
For foreign nationals interested in earning a pilot certificate or rating: Any person who is not a United States citizen must undergo mandatory TSA fingerprinting and background check.
The TSA will notify me once you have successfully undergone the background check and have been approved for flight training. I cannot train you before we have received this authorization.
Go to this TSA website to login, and click on "new student account". Fill in all of your contact information here. On the application you will have to request a flight school, here on the drop-down list you will be able to select me, William Bonnette, as your flight-school provider.
I'm a U.S. citizen, what are the TSA (Transportation Safety Agency) requirements?
A U.S. citizen does not have to register with the TSA, however, you do need to prove your U.S. citizenship status prior to undertaking flight training. You must present either a valid U.S. passport or an original U.S. birth certificate with a government‑issued photo ID (drivers license, valid passport, etc). Bring these with you to your first flight lesson.
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) requires all pilots (with the exception of the sport pilot license), to pass a medical exam. You'll need to get a medical certificate from an FAA medical examiner prior to your first solo. The medical exam is not rigorous. It begins by filling out an FAA medical application form online at FAA MedXPress followed by a physical exam. If you think you may have a medical condition that may delay the issuance of your medical certificate, then it would be a good idea to schedule this exam before you start training. Here is a link for FAA medical standards.
Will I need to have my own insurance policy to fly the aircraft I will be training in?
The rental aircraft we will be flying during dual instruction will have liability insurance and hull coverage through aircraft owner and instructor policies. However once you begin soloing, you will be required to buy a renter's insurance policy to cover possible damages to any aircraft you rent or borrow and personal liability to protect yourself. Currently the Aircraft Owners Pilots Association (AOPA) has a liability/hull coverage policy for $319 a year.
Is financing available for training?
AOPA Finance, provides loans for flight training.
Pilot Finance Inc, provides loans for flight training.

Why doesn't the data from a custom field(s) show up in a preview email?
This occurs because, when previewing, there is no contact list and accompanying values for custom fields associated with the email when you send the preview. The place holders simply show you where data will be located. Note that dynamically created links such as the Unsubscribe Link, Forward to a Friend Link and 'Web Version of this Email' links also will not contain an active link if you send a preview campaign from the 'preview' option in the editor screen.
All fields that are dynamically created at campaign send time will use placeholders . This includes the %%unsubscribelink%%, the %%webversionlink%%, and any links to custom forms.
If you would like to see the data instead of the place holders, add yourself to the contact list and send an email to yourself as a test. Or alternatively maintain a contact list with records that include your email and values for the corresponding custom fields, and send the preview to this list.
My preview email to myself ended up in the SPAM folder (or it was not received).

Update, February 22, 2019 (04:00 PM ET): Unfortunately, it appears the exciting feature described below is not coming with Android Q anymore. According to a new code commit (via 9to5Google), the feature has been — and this is a direct quote from the commit itself — "punted from Android Q." There's very little ambiguity in that statement.
Without RCS-specific APIs within Android Q, third-party SMS apps like Textra, Pulse SMS, and others, will not be able to use RCS features. Instead, to gain RCS features in Android Q, you'll need to use Messages or other apps supported by Android Q.
Of course, Android Q is still in its very early days, so this could change again before we see a release — but don't get your hopes up.
Original Article, February 8, 2019 (05:40 PM ET): Much has been made about Rich Communication Services (RCS), but the reality hasn't yet matched up to the hype. Thanks to several RCS-specific APIs for Android Q that Android Police found, that reality could finally change for the better.
Here's the thing — as great as RCS is, carriers and manufacturers have done a great job of fumbling its usefulness. Google teamed up with several device makers to roll out RCS through its Messages app, while Samsung uses RCS for its stock messaging app. However, U.S. carriers have been incredibly slow with their RCS support and have very specific hoops that you must clear if you want to use RCS.
What is RCS messaging and why is it important?
All of that's to say that RCS is only available through a small subset of messaging apps for a small subset of devices on a small subset of networks.
As much of a mess as RCS is right now, Android Q could remedy that somewhat. According to the APIs that Android Police found on the AOSP Gerrit, Android Q could open up RCS to messaging apps. So long as your carrier supports RCS, you could message folks with the protocol on third-party apps like Pulse SMS and Textra.
This is great news for those that want to see faster RCS adoption. Let's just hope that carriers get their acts together and properly realize the dream of an inter-operable messaging service that works out of the box.


An 'ILRT alumni and friends' group has sprung up on Facebook, with several dozen members. We reminisce about events we attended and projects we worked on, and share photos of former staff jollies and awaydays, conference visits, giveaway items and so on. Many of us had something to do with the resource discovery site Intute (I still have an Intute plastic drinks coaster). It covered all subjects and subsumed ILRT's own SOSIG (Social Services Information Gateway). As well as cross-searching, Intute also had add-ons such as newsfeeds and a personalised space for tagging and exporting content. It ran from 2006 until 2011, with content frozen till 2014, when the site was finally closed.
What went wrong with Intute, apart from the general shortage of funds after the credit crunch? We were proud of SOSIG, but it was apparent when I worked on merging it with other subject gateways, that they were at different levels of development and detail. The claimed advantage of Intute was that it enabled cross-searching, but it wasn't so clear how much of an advantage that was. If you are a historian, do you need to be able to find resources relating to chemistry? And how much do you need a facility to export content, when most people are comfortable with cut and paste, and have their own way of storing information that they need to keep?
More generally, we don't seem to hear much about subject gateways any more. A search on the term suggests that the main people who run 'subject gateways' now are professional organisations. They were labour-intensive – SOSIG had a distributed team of subject experts cataloguing resources, plus a team at ILRT keeping the whole thing going. And the whole process of resource discovery has changed. Better search engine algorithms have lessened the need for them, as relevant, popular resources rise to the top of the list of search results, so there is less need to go browsing through a catalogue.
But they haven't gone away altogether. For a few years now I've been an editor of the Digital Classicist Wiki, which collects and catalogues 'digital projects and tools of relevance to classicists' (this last term is quite generously interpreted). The wiki works by voluntary labour from interested people, and is part of the Digital Classicist hub, which in turn is hosted by KCL's Department of Digital Humanities. We meet for a sprint once a month, with a suggested list of resources to be added or edited, and contribute at other times. The interface is not flashy, and the tagging by category doesn't catch everything (this is one of the areas I like to work on); the categories themselves are a folksonomy* of what people find useful, not a systematic hierarchical classification scheme. But it's got over 500 entries in it now. Because of its focus on digital projects, it doesn't attempt to link to every Classics-related website – for example, it doesn't cover Classics departments or most journals – but it does include the sort of resources which were once found on Intute.
I don't know whether similar sites exist for other subjects. But it would seem that in the case of Classics at least, we have reverted to the earlier model of subject gateway – created by volunteer experts and with basic functionality – as being more sustainable than the relatively short life of sites such as Intute.

25 June 1956: Declaration at the Sub-Prefecture of Saint-Julien-en-Genevois. Priory of Sion. Aim: studies and mutual aid of members. Head office: Sous-Cassan, Annemasse (Haute Savoie).
A copy of the Priory of Sion's statutes, showing the organisation's structure and aims, were deposited at the Sub-Prefecture at the time of the declaration. These named the four officers making up the society's council as: President - André Bonhomme; Vice President - Jean Deleaval; Treasurer - Armand Defago; and Secretary-General -Pierre Plantard.
The first three have never been identified. Pierre Plantard, however, was to play a key role over the next 30 years.
The statutes stated that the Priory had the additional title of Chevalerie d'Institutions et Règles Catholiques, d'Union Indépendante et Traditionaliste (Chivalry of Catholic Institutions and Rules of the Independent and Traditionalist Union), or CIRCUIT - a name that recurs in the Priory of Sion story.
…the perpetuation of the traditionalist order of chivalry, its initiatory teaching and the creation between members of mutual assistance, as much material as moral, in all circumstances.
The Priory's first appearance in print was in 1962, in Gérard de Sède's Les templiers sont parmi nous (The Templars are among Us), where it received a brief mention under the name of the Order of Sion in an interview with Pierre Plantard (who is described as a 'Hermeticist') which is printed as an appendix.
appeared in a controversial collection of documents deposited in Paris's Bibliothèque Nationale in the early 1960s, which have become known as the Dossiers secrets ('secret files').
The Dossiers secrets are now best known for forming the basis Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln's The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail and The Messianic Legacy.
The Dossiers secrets attributed a much more impressive pedigree to the Priory of Sion, stating that it had existed for nine centuries, counting some of the most illustrious names in history among its membership, and that it had exerted a profound influence over some of the most important events in European history.
The list of Grand Masters - or, as they are termed, 'Nautonniers' ('Helmsmen') - include such prominent and unexpected names as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, the master alchemist Nicolas Flamel and, nearer our own time, the novelist Victor Hugo, composer Claude Debussy and the surrealist artist, playwright and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. Other great names from history associated with the Priory include Nostradamus, Joan of Arc and even the controversial 20th century Pope John XXIII.
The Priory is said to be the guardians of great political, religious and esoteric secrets. But its primary purpose was the protection of the descendants of a dynasty of ancient Frankish kings - the Merovingians - that history believed to have died out 1300 years ago. According to the Dossiers secrets, the heirs of the Merovingians survive to this day and the Priory of Sion have the means to prove it. And, the Priory claims, the Merovingians are the rightful rulers of France.
Although deposited in the Bibliothèque Nationale in the early to mid 1960s, little attention was paid to the material in the Dossiers secrets relating to the Priory of Sion. It was not until a flurry of interest on the part of the French media in the early 1970s that the Priory received any real publicity in France, and speculation began to grow about the nature of the society - and the extent of its influence.
In February 1973, the southern regional newspaper Midi-Libre, in a story about Rennes-le-Château, referred to the Priory of Sion in connection with the survival of the Merovingian line - and named the eminent statesman Alain Poher as the Merovingian claimant to the French throne. Poher was twice provisional President of France and President of the French Senate. He was also prominent in the affairs of the European Economic Community.
Also in 1973 Swiss journalist Mathieu Paoli published a book on his investigations into the Priory of Sion, Les dessous d'une ambition politique (The Underside of a Political Ambition).
More references to the Priory of Sion, its objectives - and in particular to the man who began to emerge as its public face, Pierre Plantard - appeared in French esoteric journals as the decade progressed.
Another important – and if anything even more enigmatic - figure in the unfolding story was Philippe, Marquis de Chérisey. Belgian-born de Chérisey met Plantard at University in 1939, and in the 1960s wrote a number of books and articles developing themes in the Dossiers secrets (which many researchers believe him to have had a large hand in writing). De Chérisey died in July 1985.
The frequent references to the mystery of Rennes-le-Château brought Plantard to the attention of Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln, who first interviewed him in 1979. He began to give them information that was to shape The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.
By that time Plantard had adopted the name Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, linking himself with the important St Clair/Sinclair family, most famously associated with Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh.
In 22 January 1981 a small article was printed in several French regional and local newspapers announcing that Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair had been elected Grand Master of the Priory of Sion at a Convent held in the town of Blois five days earlier (17 January).
History of France), it was written by Jean-Pierre Deloux and Jacques Brétigny, and was addition to the Priory-inspired material that had begun with the Dossiers secrets. Plantard was openly acknowledged as the major source of information, and the two authors were known associates of his.
Deloux and Brétigny's book brought the Priory of Sion's claims - the survival of the Merovingians, its connection with the Templars, and so on - to the mainstream French public for the first time.

Drainage Grates, Frames and Curb Inlets
Innovation to Meet Customer Needs
Without water, there would be no life on our planet, but in today's urban environment, water presents a double-edged sword. Known to chemists as the "universal solvent," water must be channeled away from airports, highways, ports, and other facilities, where its presence becomes a safety issue and a maintenance challenge.
While manhole assemblies control entry to the subsurface infrastructure they protect, drainage grates by EJ welcome water. EJ began manufacturing drainage grates soon after it began manufacturing manhole assemblies; somewhere in the world sit drainage grates that are more than 90 years old.
All drainage grate assemblies (the grates and the frames that surround them) perform the same tasks: They capture water runoff and transport it to a tube or pipe, reducing ponding. A linear system of grates can capture a vast volume of water from a site—one reason they are favored for airports and highways.
Designing Water Management Plans
"The most complicated design I created was water management plans for a site," says Wayne Seger, a civil engineer with 15 years of experience and a drainage expert for EJ. "You must ensure that there will be no loss of value, that the water will be collected from the ground and directed into a pipe as soon as possible. As soon as water builds up, you have the risk of erosion or hydroplaning, and no one wants that."
If they took the time to look for them, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists would spot drainage grates on just about every street curb. It is a common misconception that all drainage grates are the same because they basically do the same thing—this is not the case.
Evolving Grate Designs
In fact, drainage grate design has evolved to adapt to an urban environment with more constructed areas—such as footpaths, roadways, and parking lots, which are all impervious surfaces restricting effective drainage of rainwater.
In response, modern drainage grates capture water more efficiently. This means larger openings, inlet configurations to catch moving water by vanes or waves, more efficient designs to reduce the amount of iron needed to maintain the same efficiency, and greater capacity to withstand heavy loading from airplanes, heavy machinery, or trucks. As an example, EJ makes extra heavy duty airport rated grates that can support loads up to 200,000 pounds.
Security and Ease of Maintenance
In keeping with the modern world's concern for infrastructure security and ease of service, EJ offers security options on several grate models. This includes bolting, cam lock, and slam lock variations.
Drainage grates may include hinges and assisted openings. In addition, EJ manufactures decorative trench options that integrate well with landscaping and public spaces, grates with anti-skid properties, and grates that grab water as it flows down a hill.
The Fallacy of the Generic Grate
Even with all these variations, some customers still believe that a grate is a grate. In fact, Seger finds this to be the biggest misunderstanding he encounters: A grate is only a piece of iron with holes. "Someone will say that he or she simply needs something to stop water pooling," Seger says. "Just give me a standard grate."
"There is, however, no such thing as a standard grate," Seger explains. "A customer cannot be successful by simply picking a grate off the shelf. Instead, we ask our customers these basic questions:"
How is the site used?
How much water will fall on the site?
How fast do you want the water to drain?
What is the geography of the site where you are installing the grate?
"Properly addressing drainage requirements demands an engineering exercise for each drainage grate installed," Seger emphasizes. "The need drives the design. A classic beehive grate—about the size of a basketball—drains high-debris, non-traffic areas such as a backyard well. Draining a baseball field, however, has very different considerations than draining a residential street."
Balancing Grate Characteristics
Some engineers emphasize that water and debris be removed from streets and highways as quickly as possible and prefer wide grate openings. Others need to balance water drainage with traffic from bicyclists or pedestrians wearing high heels.
To aid customers in specifying the best grate solution, our website includes a flow calculator. EJ sales staff also frequently presents "Lunch and Learn" seminars at customer locations, as well as professional development seminars at trade shows. We also invite various customers to visit the EJ facilities, which can include foundry tours and discussions. Furthermore, EJ offers installation instructions for each of its grating systems.
Airports and Ports Share Needs
Airports and ports prefer linear drainage systems. With their safety concerns and the need to move large, expensive machines across these sites, these facilities slope their surfaces to send water to the linear systems as fast as possible.
A recent installation of linear trench grates at the at U.S. Marine Corps' Camp Lejeune shows the scale of airport trench grating and illustrates EJ's experience of meeting unusual customer requirements.
Located in coastal North Carolina, Camp Lejeune required about 10,000 linear feet (almost two miles) of trench grating for its airfield taxiway and apron expansion. To meet the airfield's specifications, EJ designed and manufactured a new trench frame and grate 51 inches wide, including the design of grates with a 45-degree bend. To complete the work, 5,000 pieces were placed along the airfield.
The expansion project relates to new runways needed for the V-22 Osprey aircraft. The trench grate and frame are composed of ductile iron, designed for extra heavy-duty loads (proof load tested to 100,000 pounds).
Agency Requirements
LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), an internationally recognized green building certification system, provides third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving environmental quality across crucial metrics.
The sales team at EJ routinely assists customers in qualifying for LEED® credits on new projects. A majority of EJ products help our clients qualify for LEED credits under the Materials and Resource category or Recycled Materials section within the ratings guide. Alternatively, credits may be earned through the Sustainable Sites category and the Storm Water Design section.
EJ castings, manufactured entirely in the United States from gray iron, conform to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A48. For ductile iron, it conforms to ASTM A536. The material used to produce the castings has a minimum recycled content of 85 percent. Approximately 20 percent post-consumer and 80 percent post-industrial materials comprise that 85 percent recycled content.
We complement our extensive in-house knowledge with third-party research and input from industry experts. We also ensure that our products perform optimally through finite element analysis, in-house tests on materials, and load tests on product prototypes.

Biodegradable cups created following ancient techniques
Studio CRÈME has created the 'Gourd Project', comprising cups and carafes made from squashes and used to replace disposable cups.
WordsClémence Leleu
© CRÈME Design
Designer Jun Aizaki, the head of the studio CRÈME, has developed the Gourd Project: coffee cups and a carafe that are all biodegradable and made entirely from gourds. The ultimate aim is for them to act as perfect substitutes for plastic and paper cups used for takeaway drinks.
'Takeaway cups and packaging are the norm in everyday life, but they produce an enormous amount of waste, which ends up in landfill and contaminates our precious waterways and landscapes', explains Jun Aizaki on the Gourd Project's website. 'What if nature, as well as being a material resource, could also provide a solution to this global problem?'
An ancient practice
The designer took inspiration from the practice of gourd moulding, which has existed for several centuries, particularly in Japan, when creating Gourd Project. The name is significant because the word 'gourd' has its roots in the Latin cucurbita, a plant from the cucurbitaceae family that has been used as a container since antiquity. The teams at CRÈME take a more modern approach and grow gourds in moulds made from recycled plastic, which take the shape of the object they aim to create. After six weeks of growing, all that's left to do is dry the cucurbitaceae before washing and using it.
'Gourds are plants that grow quickly and that bear robust fruit every season. Once dried, the solid outer skin and the inner fibrous flesh become water-resistant. CRÈME has adapted this method to create its own compostable containers, using made-to-measure 3D-printed moulds', explains the designer.
For the time being, Gourd Project products are only sold and displayed in museums like MoMA. The teams at studio CRÈME imagine that they will initially be used in certain tea rooms, before the points of sale multiply and diversify.
Gourd Project (2019) is a CRÈME creation, details of which are available on the dedicated website.

Laives se situe au pied de la colline Saint-Martin, à l'extrémité nord des monts du Mâconnais, qui s'ennoient dans le nord de la commune sous les sédiments plio-quaternaires du fossé bressan. Les sols ont pour origine l'ère du quaternaire ancien.

L'altitude de la commune varie de 177 m, dans la vallée de la Grosne à 331 m, au lieu-dit de la Faille, à la limite avec Sennecey-le-Grand.

Hydrographie
Sur le territoire de la commune il y a trois lacs, surnommés les Lacs de Laives, résultat des travaux de construction de l'autoroute A6 vers 1970. Ils sont aménagés pour la pêche, la baignade, le camping. Ils sont situés à proximité de la Grosne, rivière qui délimite par ailleurs le nord-ouest de la commune.

La commune est également traversée par le Grison, qui conflue ici avec la Grosne, ainsi que par d'autres ruisseaux : la Noue, le Bief de Rompreau et la Raie de la Goutte.

Dans le village, il y a de nombreuses sources, dont celles qui sortent le long de la rue des Fontaines.

Climatologie
C'est un climat tempéré à légère tendance continentale avec des étés chauds et des hivers froids, avec une amplitude thermique assez importante entre ces deux saisons. Les précipitations sont assez hétérogènes sur l'année, avec un mois de mai le plus pluvieux de l'année. Le vent qui souffle une partie de l'année est la bise.

Histoire
Le village est un haut lieu de l'art roman avec son église Saint-Martin de Laives, érigée au  et . Il y avait dans le passé de nombreux tailleurs de pierres, ainsi vers 1850, une cinquantaine de famille vivaient de cette activité.
Création en 1970 des trois lacs.

1793 : Saint-Martin-de-Laives, dans le contexte révolutionnaire, change de nom et devient Laives. Un nom que la commune porte encore de nos jours, à l'instar de quatre autres communes du département de Saône-et-Loire qui, comme Laives, ont conservé leur nom révolutionnaire.

C'est dans une maison de Laives que, en 1899, fut découvert, exhumée d'un dallage ancien et servant à caler un escalier dans une dépendance de l'ancienne abbaye de La Ferté-sur-Grosne, le célèbre bois Protat, premier bois gravé (vers 1380) du monde occidental (conservé depuis 2001 au département des estampes et de la photographie de la Bibliothèque nationale de France).

Lavoirs

La colline Saint-Martin héberge plusieurs sources et de ce fait, on trouve plusieurs lavoirs à Laives.

Le lavoir des Variaux est le plus grand. Il a été construit en 1827. Il est alimenté par la source Saint-Bonnet et ses eaux se déversent dans le ruisseau le Rompereau. Leur température est stable à 15-16 °C. Il se compose d'un grand bassin de pierre taillée protégé par une charpente avec de belles poutres en bois et un toit en tuiles et lauzes. Le bassin est entouré par des bancs également en pierre. Avant la restauration de 1988, on pouvait lire sur une poutre de la charpente : le temple des bavardes.

Le lavoir de Sermaisey, un peu plus petit a été édifié la même année. Il est alimenté par la source Lapcher ou d'Apcher. Il présente une architecture comparable de dimensions un peu réduites.

Archibald is a masculine given name, composed of the Germanic elements erchan (with an original meaning of "genuine" or "precious") and bald meaning "bold".

Medieval forms include Old High German  and Anglo-Saxon .
Erkanbald, bishop of Strasbourg (d. 991) was also rendered  in Old French.  There is also a secondary association of its first element with the Greek prefix archi- meaning "chief, master", to Norman England in the high medieval period.

The form Archibald became particularly popular among Scottish nobility in the later medieval to early modern periods, whence usage as a surname is derived by the 18th century, found especially in Scotland and later Nova Scotia.

Given name
English diminutives or hypocorisms include Arch, Archy, Archie, and Baldie (nickname).
Variants include French Archambault, Archaimbaud, Archenbaud, Archimbaud,
Italian Archimboldo, Arcimbaldo, Arcimboldo, Portuguese  Arquibaldo, Arquimbaldo and Spanish Archibaldo, Archivaldo.
Archibald is used as the anglicization of the (unrelated) Gaelic given name Gille Easbuig (also anglicized as Gillespie).

The given name Archibald was comparatively popular in the United States in the late 19th century, peaking at rank 290 in 1890, but it rapidly fell out of fashion in the early 20th century, falling below rank 1,000 in popularity during the 1920s.
