cut between the seventeenth and twenty-fifth year, but are often delayed until a very much later period, and occasionally never appear.
The set of teeth which, as indicated above, begin to appear in the infant about the sixth month, are known as the deciduous teeth (O.T. temporary, or milk teeth); whilst those which succeed them and form the adult equipment are the permanent teeth.
The deciduous teeth are twenty in number, and are named as follows in each jaw, beginning at the median plane :-dentes incisivi, or incisor teeth, central and lateral; dens caninus, or canine tooth; dentes molares, or molar teeth, first and second; or more briefly, two incisors, one canine, two molars. This is conveniently expressed by the "dental formula" for the deciduous teeth in man, which shows the number of each class of teeth above and below on one side of the mouth, viz. :
i., c. }, m. = 20.
The permanent teeth, thirty-two in number, are named dentes incisivi, or incisor teeth, central and lateral; dentes canini, or canine teeth; dentes præmolares, dentis premolar (O.T. bicuspid) teeth; bicuspid) teeth; dentes molares, molar teeth; and are arranged as follows in each jaw, beginning at the median plane :-central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, 1st premolar, 2nd premolar, 1st molar, 2nd molar, and 3rd molar or dens serotinus (O.T. wisdom tooth). The dental formula for the permanent set in man is thus ::

FIG. 880.-VERTICAL SECTION OF CANINE TOOTH, to illustrate its various parts, and its structure.
i., c. 1, pm. 2, m. = 32.
General Form and Structure. — A tooth consists (Fig. 880) of (1) the corona dentis or crown, the portion projecting above the gum. It varies in shape in the different teeth, and in all, except the incisors and canines, bears on its masticating surface a number of tubercles, the tubercula coronæ (O.T. cusps), varying in number from two to five in the different teeth; (2) the collum dentis or neck, the faintly constricted part which is surrounded collar-wise by the gum, and connects the crown with (3) the radix dentis or root, the portion of
the tooth embedded in the alveolus of the jaw. In the majority of teeth, namely, in all except the molars, the root, as a rule, is single, or nearly so, and consists of a long, tapering, conical, or flattened piece, perfectly adapted to the alveolus in which it lies. In the molar teeth (and in some of the others occasionally) the root is divided into two or three tapering or flattened roots or fangs. At the apex of each root there can be made out, even with the naked eye, a minute opening, the foramen apicis, through which the vessels and nerves enter the tooth.
When a section of a tooth is made (Fig. 880), it will be seen that the interior of the body is occupied by a cavity of some size, called the cavum dentis or tooth cavity, which is filled in the natural state by the soft and sensitive tissue known as the pulpa dentis or tooth pulp. The tooth cavity gradually narrows, and is prolonged into each root of the tooth as a slender tapering passage, the canalis radicis (root-canal), which opens at the apical foramen already referred to. Through these root-canals, which also contain some pulp, the vessels and nerves, which enter at the apex, pass to the interior of the tooth.
Short diverticula of the pulp cavity are prolonged into the bases of the tubercles
in the molar and premolar teeth, and in the incisors also there are similar slight prolongations of the cavity towards the angles of the crown.
The roots of the teeth are embedded in the alveoli or sockets of the jaws, to which they are accurately adapted, and firmly united (Fig. 880) by a highly vascular layer of connective tissue-the periosteum alveolare. This is attached to the wall of the alveolus on the one hand and to the root of the tooth on the other, whilst above it is continuous with the connective tissues of the gum.
So accurately are the root and the alveolus adapted to each other over their whole extent, and so firmly does the periosteum bind them together, that, under normal conditions, the tooth is quite firmly fixed in the bone, and no movement of the root within the alveolus can take place; the vessels and nerves entering at the apex are thus secured against pressure or strain.
When, however, the alveolar periosteum is inflamed it becomes swollen and exquisitely sensitive; the tooth, as a result of the swelling, is pushed partly out of its socket, its crown projects above those of its neighbours, and strikes against the opposing tooth when the mouth is closed, giving rise to much pain and discomfort.
The neck, although the term is useful, can scarcely be recognised as a distinct constriction in the permanent teeth; it corresponds to the line along which the gum and alveolar periosteum meet, or along which the gum is united to the tooth; but, as already pointed out, the gum does not stop at the neck, but forms a free fold which surrounds the base of the crown collar-wise for a short distance. The outline of the margin of the gum opposite the labial and lingual surfaces of the crown is usually concave, but opposite the contact surfaces of the tooth it is convex, and reaches much nearer to the edge of the crown than on the other surfaces.
In the incisors and canines the tooth cavity, which is about to the diameter of the tooth, passes very gradually into the root-canal (Fig. 880), so that it is difficult to say where one ends and the other begins. The reverse is the case in the molars, whilst the premolars are somewhat variable in this respect.
Tartar is a hard calcareous deposit from the saliva (salivary calculus), often found on the teeth near their necks. It is composed of lime salts, and its deposit is largely determined by the presence of organisms (leptothrix, etc.) in the mouth.
DENTES PERMANENTES.
The permanent teeth (Figs. 881 and 882) are thirty-two in number, sixteen above and sixteen below, or eight in each half of both jaws; and, although they can be grouped under four heads-incisors, canines, premolars, and molars-the individual teeth differ so much in their characters that each tooth requires a separate description.
Descriptive Terms.-Before describing the permanent teeth, it is requisite that certain terms which are employed to denote the surfaces of the teeth should be defined. This is a matter of some importance, seeing that the terms medial and lateral, anterior and posterior, cannot, owing to the curvature of the dental arches, be properly applied to all the teeth in the same sense. The terms given below have been adopted seeing that they are free from the danger of misconception.
The part of a tooth which comes in contact with the teeth of the opposite jaw is known as the facies masticatoria (grinding or masticating surface) (Fig. 883). The surface in contact with or looking towards its predecessor in the row is known as the facies medialis in incisors and canines, facies anterior in premolars and molars; the opposite surface, namely, that which looks towards its successor in the row, is known as the facies lateralis in incisors and canines, facies posterior in molars and premolars. The surface which looks towards the tongue is the facies lingualis (lingual surface), and that looking in the opposite direction, i.e. towards the lips and cheek, the facies labialis (labial surface). The portion of a tooth which touches its neighbour in the same row is known as the facies contacta (contact surface).
Dentes Incisivi (Figs. 881 and 882). The incisor teeth, four in number in each jaw, are used specially for cutting the food, hence their name. The crown of each is chisel-shaped, and presents a labial surface which is convex in all directions, a concave lingual surface, and a chisel-like edge, which, when first cut, is surmounted by three small tubercles separated by two grooves. These tubercles, however, are soon worn down, and the edge becomes straight or nearly 80. Owing to the fact that the upper incisors overlap those in the mandible, the
III. Accessory Digestive Glands. The largest of these is the liver (hepar), which occupies the upper and right portion of the abdominal cavity, immediately below the diaphragm, and its secretion-the bile-is conveyed into the duodenum by the bile duct (ductus choledochus). The pancreas, next in size, lies across the front of the vertebral column, with its right end or head resting in the concavity of the duodenum, into which its secretion flows through the pancreatic duct. The salivary glands consist mainly of three large paired glands, parotid, submaxillary, and sublingual (glandula parotis, submaxillaris, and sublingualis), and their ducts, which convey the saliva, open into the mouth. The saliva is a mechanical lubricant, which facilitates swallowing and the movements of the tongue in speaking and masticating, and also plays an important part in the chemical processes of digestion.
CAVUM ORIS.
1. Parts.-Rima oris, vestibulum oris, cavum oris proprium.
2. Boundaries.-1. Labia oris-their structure.
2. Bucca-their structure.
3. Palatum (palatum durum, palatum molle)-arrangement and structure. 4. Isthmus faucium.
3. Structures found in the Mouth.-Gingivæ, gums.
Dentes, teeth.
Lingua, tongue.
4. Glandulæ oris.-Buccal and salivary glands.
The mouth is the upper expanded portion which forms the first division of the alimentary canal. It lies between the maxillæ and mandible, bounded externally by the lips and the cheeks, and roofed in by the palate. It contains the teeth and greater part of the tongue; and the ducts of the salivary glands open
The philtrum
into it. The cavity is divisible into two portions, the vestibule and the cavity proper of the mouth. These are separated from one another by the alveolar ridges, gums, and teeth of the maxillæ and mandible. The cavity of the mouth narrows at the back to a slight constriction, marked by a vertical fold on each side, called the arcus glosso-palatinus (O.T. anterior pillar of the fauces), and between them the cavity of the mouth is continuous with that of the pharynx.
Rima Oris.-The aperture of the mouth is bounded above and below by the corresponding lips, which, by their junction at the sides, form the labial commissures. In a state of rest, with the lips in apposition, the rima appears as a slightly curved line, corresponding in length to the interval between the first premolar teeth, and in level to a line drawn across just below the middle of the upper incisor crowns. The shape of the rima varies with every movement of the lips, from the resting linear form, curved like the

muscle.
Vestibulum Oris.-The vestibule of the mouth lies immediately internal to the
aperture of the mouth. It is that portion of the cavity which occupies the interval between the lips and cheeks externally, and the teeth and gums internally.
In the normal resting condition, when the mouth is closed and the lips and the teeth are in contact, its cavity is practically obliterated by the meeting of its walls, and it becomes merely a slit-like interval, with a narrow roof and floor formed by the reflection of the mucous membrane from the deep surface of the lips and cheeks to the corresponding gum. This reflection is interrupted in the median plane by a small but prominent fold of the mucous membrane, the frenulum, which connects the back of each lip to the front of the is the better developed, and is readily brought into view by everting the lip. The gum. The frenulum frenulum of the lower lip is not always present.
On the outer wall of the vestibule, opposite the crown of the second upper molar, upon a variably developed eminence, is placed the small opening of the duct of the parotid gland, which conveys the saliva from the parotid gland to the mouth.
When the teeth are in contact the vestibule communicates with the cavity of the mouth only through the small and irregular spaces left between the opposing teeth, and posteriorly, on either side, by a wider but variable aperture between the last molars and the ramus of the mandible.

FIG. 875.-DISSECTION OF SUBMAXILLARY REGION.
Advantage is sometimes taken of the pres
ence of this aperture for the introduction into the cavity of the mouth of liquid food in certain cases-trismus, anchylosis, etc.-in which the jaws are rigidly closed.
On the outer wall of the vestibule, the anterior border of the masseter can be distinctly felt with the finger, when the muscle is thrown into a state of contraction. Still further back, the front of the coronoid process, bearing the lower part of the insertion of the temporal muscle, can also be made out. The spheno-mandibular ligament, which corresponds to, and is felt along with, the anterior border of the internal pterygoid muscle, is distinguishable as a pliant ridge when the finger is carried from the front of the coronoid process behind the last molar tooth into the cavity of the mouth.
In addition to the duct of the parotid, the ducts of numerous small glands which are embedded in the lips and cheeks open into the vestibule.
Under normal conditions, as pointed out above, the lips and cheeks lie against the teeth and gums, obliterating the cavity of the vestibule, and helping, with the aid of the tongue, to keep the food between the grinding surfaces of the molar teeth during mastication. In facial palsy, however, owing to the paralysis of their muscles, and particularly of the buccinator muscle, the lips and cheeks fall away from the dental arches, and allow the food to pass out from between the teeth and to accumulate in the vestibule.
Cavum Oris Proprium.-The cavity proper of the mouth is the space situated within the dental arches, extending backwards to the glosso-palatine arches (O.T. anterior pillars of the fauces). Its boundaries consist of a roof, a floor, and a margin, formed by the teeth and gums. The roof is formed by the hard palate and the anterior portion of the soft palate, while the floor is formed by the anterior part of the tongue in the middle, and on each side by the reflection of the mucous membrane from the side of the tongue to the mandible.
On each side of the tongue, and in front of it, when it is at rest, there is only a slit or sulcus between the tongue and the gums, into which the ducts of the submaxillary and sublingual glands open.
If, however, the tongue is raised, there is exposed a limited space to which the term sublingual space is more usually applied (Fig. 876).
The term "floor of the mouth," or sublingual region, is frequently applied to the muscular and other structures, especially the mylo-hyoid muscles, which fill in the interval between the two halves of the body of the mandible. These structures, with the hyoid bone, form the basis upon which the tongue and the mucous membrane of the sublingual space are supported, and they extend from the symphysis menti, in front, to the body of the hyoid bone, behind.
The sublingual region (Fig. 876) is covered by the mucous membrane between the deep surface of the gum and the inferior aspect of the tongue. When the tip of the tongue is raised the membrane forms in the median plane a prominent fold, the frenulum linguæ, stretching from the floor of the mouth to the inferior surface of the tongue. On each side of the frenulum, near its junction with the floor, there can be readily made out a prominent soft papilla, the caruncula sublingualis, on which the opening of the duct of the submaxillary gland (O.T. Wharton's duct) may be seen (Fig. 876). Running laterally and posteriorly, on each side, from this, Layer of muscle cut and occupying the greater part of

the floor of the mouth, there is a well-marked ridge, plica sublingualis, due to the projection of the underlying sublingual gland. Most of the ducts of this gland open near the crest of the ridge on each side. There is also another fold, called the plica fimbriata, medial to each of the others, on the inferior surface of the tongue.

When the mouth is closed, and respiration is carried on through the nose, the cavum oris is reduced to a slit-like space, and practically obliterated by the tongue coming in contact with the palate above, and with the gums and teeth laterally and in front. When the mouth is slightly open and the teeth nearly in contact, the tongue becomes somewhat concave or grooved along the median plane, and leaves a channel-like space between it and the palate, while it remains in contact with the roof and gums laterally. By depressing the hyoid bone together with the root of the tongue,
the cavum oris can be increased to a considerable size even when the teeth are in contact. Finally, by the simultaneous descent of the mandible and hyoid bone with the tongue, and the ascent of the soft palate, the cavity is increased to its greatest dimensions (Fig. 874).
FIG. 876.-OPEN MOUTH WITH TONGUE RAISED, AND THE
SUBLINGUAL AND ANTERIOR GLANDS EXPOSED.
The sublingual gland of the left side has been laid bare by the removal of the mucous membrane; to expose the anterior lingual gland of the right side a thin layer of muscle, in addition to the mucous membrane, has been removed. A branch of the lingual nerve is seen running on the medial aspect of the gland. The profunda vein also is faintly indicated on this side.
Labia Oris.-The lips are the two movable folds, covered superficially by skin, and on their deep surface by mucous membrane, which surround the rima oris. The meeting of the lips at each side constitutes the commissure, and bounds the angle of the mouth (angulus oris). Laterally, they are prolonged into the cheeks, with which they are continuous. The junction of the lips and cheek is marked on the surface by the sulcus naso-labialis, which passes downwards and laterally from the margin of the nose towards the angle of the mouth, while the sulcus mento-labialis separates the lower lip from the chin. The upper lip presents on its superficial surface a well-marked vertical groove, the philtrum, bounded by two distinct ridges descending from the columella nasi (Fig. 876); inferiorly the groove

Continue our "Did You know" series, today we will discuss sewer lines in older home. Since the majority of homes in America were built between 1955 and 1990 there's a good chance you live in a home that's older than you! Just like people, homes will begin to suffer problems related to their age, and one of the most vulnerable parts of any home is the plumbing. Even if everything appears fine, without constant maintenance and upkeep your plumbing will experience all kinds of issues that can become very costly for you.
Sewer Lines: Even if the internal plumbing of your home is working just fine you may still experience issues with draining because of the plumbing just outside your house. Homeowners also own and are responsible for the sewage line from the house to the street, and that bit of pipe can be a big source of headaches in older homes.

Beyond cancer genes: colorectal cancer as robust intrinsic states formed by molecular interactions.
Yanqin Huang, Institute for Systems Biology, 401 Terry Ave. N., Seattle, WA 98109-5234, USA.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has complex pathological features that defy the linear-additive reasoning prevailing in current biomedicine studies. In pursuing a mechanistic understanding behind such complexity, we constructed a core molecular-cellular interaction network underlying CRC and investigated its nonlinear dynamical properties. The hypothesis and modelling method has been developed previously and tested in various cancer studies. The network dynamics reveal a landscape of several attractive basins corresponding to both normal intestinal phenotype and robust tumour subtypes, identified by their different molecular signatures. Comparison between the modelling results and gene expression profiles from patients collected at the second affiliated hospital of Zhejiang University is presented as validation. The numerical 'driving' experiment suggests that CRC pathogenesis may depend on pathways involved in gastrointestinal track development and molecules associated with mesenchymal lineage differentiation, such as Stat5, BMP, retinoic acid signalling pathways, Runx and Hox transcription families. We show that the multi-faceted response to immune stimulation and therapies, as well as different carcinogenesis and metastasis routes, can be straightforwardly understood and analysed under such a framework.

Q: Advanced tooltip with divs I'm using qTip2 with the 'Dark' theme. I want to customize it to look similar to an MMORPG (Diablo 3).
Is this possible with this plugin? Or is this possible with another tooltip plugin?
Here is the default look which we can target with css to customize it. I am, however, looking for a more advanced look.
Here's the code.

A: Ok, I did it. With qTip2 it is possible to build an HTML structure and use it in the title.
For example:

Of course we can use PHP, so for example it would look like:
<?php
   $title = 'Hello World';
?>
<div id="my-div" title='<?php echo $title ?>'>

BE AWARE! This plugin needs a single quote or it will break our structure, so when you use a variable in the string you have to do that this way:
<?php
   $part = 'World';
   $title = 'Hello' . $part . '!';
?>
<div id="my-div" title='<?php echo $title ?>'>

Maricopa Supervisors Move To Suspend Assessor Over Smuggling Case
By Associated Press • Oct 23, 2019
The governing board in Arizona's most populous county is taking steps to suspend an elected official accused of running a human smuggling scheme.
Credit Maricopa County Sheriff's Office
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Wednesday to notify Assessor Paul Petersen that it plans to consider suspending him for up to 120 days. The board is required to give Petersen five days' notice. It can't remove him from office and he's refused to resign.
Board members say Petersen can't perform his duties from jail, and auditors have found documents related to his adoption business on his county computer.
Prosecutors say Petersen illegally paid women from the Marshall Islands to have their babies in the United States and give them up for adoption. Petersen former lawyer has denied that Petersen's adoption business broke the law.

The industry is highly dominated by the unorganised players constitutes over 70 per cent share with a market size of 172,685 crore. To find out how India consumes, Restaurant India went to experts in the different regions to get a clear picture.
India, with a mixed climate conditions, has very different consumption pattern depending on the region and food preferences.
According to a latest report by BCG, food service market in India, which is growing at a CAGR of 17 per cent per annum, is expected to reach 42 trillion by 2020, making the F&B industry second to health expenditure in the country.
However, in last five years, Indian F&B has become the largest producer, as well as the consumer in the country, driving India's economy as a whole.
The consumption patterns in India with different regions and tastes, a south Indian prefer to have idli, dosa and vada, whereas north welcomes you with makke di roti and sarson da saag. Meanwhile, east has rich Bengali foods, mithayis, fish and litti chokha followed by west which is known for its vada pav, dhokla and sev puri.
"Indians have a very distinct yet evolved taste bud. They are also well travelled and due to the democratic nature of our country, there is lot of interstate movement for education, work and tourism. Multiple social channels, Independent food sites , review platforms giving exposure to multiple cuisine options, encouraging trials is surely encouraging preference towards experimenting different cuisines," adds Praveen Bodduluri, COO, Vaango.
Delhi belly
Delhi being the capital city of the country has the largest number of restaurants withinin its diameter.
From global to regional chains, the city is well targeted by food majors. Coming under the northern belt, which is highly covered by the Punjabi's, the city has a mixed taste and consumption level of both regional and global foods.
On one hand, customers are attracted to fast food or the food that is easy to grab with fast moving lifestyle, the traditional north Indian cuisine is preferred choice of the locals here.
As the city has larger opportunity to explore and experiment with food, choice for dinner and lunch vary depending on the consumption level. According to experts, people are getting more conscious about having a light dinner as compared to lunch, which earlier used be heavy dinner as compared to lunch.
"Delhi may have a higher level of consumption, the average bill at our restaurant is 5 per cent higher in Delhi versus the other towns," shares, Murali Krishna Parna, CEO, Sagar Ratna.
During the last two decade there's a conspicuous trend in the at-home consumption pattern in the region. Earlier, people were more addicted to the generic and traditional forms and cuisines, but today they are open to experiment with new foods and cuisine.
With this changing trend, the online consumption is also taking an edge into the fast growing market. We see lots of new online delivery portals and restaurant search engine coming now days.
"This base is continually expanding and more new flavours are being accepted by today's consumer. While push carts still account for maximum sales, traditional and now modern retail too is witnessing good growth," adds, Nitin Arora, CEO, Creambell Ice Cream.
Talking about which cuisine tops the list of the customers in the region, Restaurant India found that North Indian cuisine are most preferred followed by Chinese.
Bangalore/ Chennai belly
Bangalore, known as the IT hub of the country, has always attracted a larger number of technology companies. As people are more health conscious and organic lovers, the consumption pattern in the region differs from Delhi. However, Chennai the capital city of southern state has people who look after value for money and affordable food option.
According to a research by Zomato, 56 per cent of people in Bangalore look for dining options in cheap and affordable category.
Meanwhile, the consumption pattern in Chennai market is a bit different, wherein people prefer to eat their meals early. Hence, lunch offers a good business here in comparison to the other parts of India. The situation for dinner is similar and the restaurants witness an early crowd.
"In recent times, the industry has witnessed a gradual shift to the digital spectrum. The e-commerce space is booming and sales have picked up on the online platforms, in fact doubling over the weekends starting Friday onwards. However, with a known fact that Indians love eating and their willingness to explore something new, the dine-in concept remains popular amongst a vast majority, as they enjoy spending family time in a completely different ambiance," informs Narendra Malhotra, CEO, Oriental Cuisines.
Mumbai/Pune belly
There is a tremendous rise in the consumption of food in Mumbai and western India as a whole. The fast food and junk food consumption in the region has given a spur to the global brands to open their outlets in the region. In last six months brands like
Dunkin' Donuts, Burger King, McDonalds, KFC and others have opened their outlets in the region.
The consumption pattern in the western region is mostly tilted towards luxury dining followed by places where bars are available along with food.
East belly
Eastern India, which is still the untapped market by the major retailers', looks for affordable segment and their consumption pattern is very different as compared to other regions in India. Brands like Forever Yogurt, Pabrai's, Guha Roy Food, Britannia and ITC have set a bench mark in the F&B space.
"Customers have appreciated our signature city specific murals and chic industrial looking store design. We have also received strong appreciation for our entire range of frozen yogurt especially Madagascar Vanilla and Very Strawberry flavour, Chocolate waffle and Mashmellow Hot Chocolate," says, Prashant Gupta, Director, Polo Foods.
Thus, we can say that the consumption pattern in India is changing. The spending patterns are shifting significantly as discretionary purchase captures a majority of consumer spending. The food order and delivery segment has seen a surge in demand over the years in tandem with the change in consumer food habits. The tastes and food preferences have evolved overtime as Indians today have become more experimental towards different cuisines.

It is defined as the economic nationality of a goods of origin. The origin of the goods is important for determining the tariff and non-tariff barriers to the goods. In cases where the process or labor applied to the goods is carried out completely in a country, it is not a problem for the countries to determine the origin, but if the process or labor applied to the goods occurs in more than one country, the country of origin of the goods is determined by the rules of origin. Basic conversion criteria within the scope of rules of origin; tariff rule, value added rule, two-step conversion rule and technical analysis rule. Which criteria will be covered by the rules of origin are determined by preferential trade agreements signed between countries. The rules of origin of the rules of origin of countries have a trade-enhancing effect according to the product group and in some cases can become a protective trade policy. This study examines the historical process of the origin of the rules of origin, the rules of origin and the importance of the rules of origin under preferential trade agreements and the issues to be considered.

HomeAway Buys Up BedAndBreakfast.com
Vacation home rental site HomeAway is acquiring BedandBreakfast.com, a site for finding bed-and-breakfast properties all over the world.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but BedAndBreakfast.com will continue to operate as a separate site from HomeAway.
Austin, TX.-based BedandBreakfast.com lists more than 10,000 B&Bs across 100 countries. HomeAway, which is also based in Austin, was valued at $1.15 billion back in 2008 when the company raised a massive round of $250 million. The site has acquired at least twelve vacation home rental sites, including Homelidays, VRBO, VacationRentals.com, Abritel.fr and OwnersDirect.co.uk.
Rumors were recently swirling about a possible IPO for HomeAway, but the company was quick to dismiss the possibility of a public offering this year. HomeAway also aired a SuperBowl commercial in January, which proved to be popular amongst viewers.

Ginza keshô / Ginza Cosmetics (1951)
1951 was an exciting year for Mikio Naruse. Months after Ginza Cosmetics, he would also complete Repast, ushering in a new chapter in his career. With these two films, he started making a different kind of film, not one ideologically divorced from his work in the 1930s, but one that took a different direction stylistically. I hesitate to use the terms observant or intimate because, although they have a positive connotation, their overuse and misuse have implications of a film that is visually flat, or crudely stitched together. Naruse's style at the final part of his career showed the director at his confident and concise. While many called him stylistically "invisible" (including Akira Kurosawa in one sort of overused quote) I find this to be a mistake. Sure, it's not as noticeable as his peers, but Naruse's aesthetic was so deeply in tune with his ideas that it seems impossible for him to express them in this context without this so called "invisible" style.
Yukiko Tsuji is an aging barmaid, but despite her age she's still called upon to take care of her younger sister as well as her son. She tells her younger sister, with some sad acceptance in her face, of the way her heart was broken. "Most men are beasts" she adds. Later on, we see evidence to back up this claim. Around the bar, men endlessly make advances towards Yukiko who, yes, as a sex worker does have sex for money at times, but the environment in which she works is one that is constantly challenging her comfort. Her age and lack of money leaves Yukiko in a tough spot, her work is tied to her youth and physical appearance while that work itself is still not enough to pay for the expenses that are necessary for something as simple as staying alive.
It's not the most unique idea to suggest that Naruse's films about ultimately about money. His protagonists, almost all of whom are women, are sandwiched by being women and being poor. That sounds like these are two separate forces, but in Naruse's world and the one we actually live in, these two oppressed status actually work together, influence each other, and ultimately have a relationship that makes one inseparable from the other. Some might call Naruse's work superficial because it is about money, but most of life is superficial then. It's not "materialistic" to be concerned about money when surviving is at stake. Perhaps then, it would be more accurate to describe his films as not being about money, but self-preservation.
Yukiko is played by Kinuyo Tanaka, who is most famous for her collaborations with Kenji Mizoguchi. She's always wonderful in a Mizoguchi film (or anybody's film for that matter) but I honestly prefer her here. There's a quiet resignation in her performance, though I think Yukiko is not one who has given up. Instead, she's accepted reality, an admittedly harsh one that seems set to both scrutinize her behavior and want to benefit from it. The men in the film joke about the "standards" of the women they interact with, yet have no problem in continuing in hanging around them. They seem oblivious to their moral dishonesty, but it has the dynamic in sexwork changed much? Naruse (like Ozu) hasn't made a film critiquing Japan's old-fashioned morals (which is how so many western critics frame it) but instead the racist, patriarchal society that we inhabit today.
After seeing Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin a few months ago, I remarked on twitter that it beyond all of its modern stylization, it actually came from the same place as most of Naruse's work. To be short, I think Glazer's "science-fiction" film is actually obviously about the horror of being a woman in a public space. It's scifi context gives some justification for a male audience that weirdly enough, might have a better time understanding the discomfort of an alien over an actual living woman. Naruse's work doesn't have this context, of course, but it does give us the same experience. One that supports Yukiko's claim that all men are beast. While trying to pay back a fine, she asks for help from a wealthy businessmen. The overwhelmingly polite man slowly becomes more and more forward and aggressive until he finally gets Yukiko alone in an abandoned garage. He's only considered her status as a sex worker and not her status as a human being, which is why he seems genuinely upset and confused when she runs away.
There's an IMDB review of Ginza Cosmetics that mentions, in passing, that the men in Naruse's films are generally weak. I wouldn't disagree, though I would add that they are indicative of the reality. "Weak" not in the sense that they're under-written but instead that in Naruse's world they are indeed the peripheral, which is seldom the case in most films, arthouse or not. In Naruse's Flowing (1956) the men seem to only arrive when they're imposing on the geisha house that the film revolves around. There's a similar sensation here that the men, when they are present, are imposing on the lives of women. Humanism is overused in describing film and usually applied to filmmakers who try to make all of their characters equal but by making the marginalized individuals the center, I'd argue that he's more humanist. Not that it's a contest.

Color psychology in branding: what different colors say about your business
April 14, 2022 April 14, 2022 by Elise Nelson
You know those posts that tell you what your favorite color says about you? It's not all just a bunch of made-up silliness — there's psychology behind it. The same concept applies to branding; the colors you choose to represent your business affect the way customers and clients perceive it. We talked about this a bit in our tips for creating a brand logo, but let's take a deeper dive into color psychology in branding and some examples.
Red: passionate and excited
Red is most often associated with excitement, passion, and anger. It's energetic and attention-grabbing. The emotions that red brings out are very strong and powerful, so many big corporate brands like Netflix and Coca-Cola use it in their logos. It's also often seen in health brands like Walgreens and CVS. A lot of fast-food chains feature red, too — some say that the color red makes you hungry (via Insider), but that hasn't been proven.
Orange: playful and energetic
Orange is a middle ground between red and yellow in both the color spectrum and psychology. Like red, it signals energy, but in more of a playful sense — not so urgent. It's also attention-grabbing in a "keeping you safe" sense, like orange traffic cones or vests. As Branding Compass notes, Home Depot uses orange in its store to call attention to the workers and easily let customers know they can help.
Yellow: happy and friendly
Yellow is often seen as one of the happiest and friendliest colors. It often signals positivity, which is why many companies who strive to portray optimism use it in branding. Cheerios, for example, often evokes a happy feeling with its bright yellow background. Meanwhile, Bumble uses yellow because it's meant to be a friendly space for people to meet others.
Green: natural, tranquil, or wealthy
Green can have a few different meanings in branding. On one hand, it's often a symbol of nature, tranquility, and an overall fresh feeling. Therefore, agricultural brands like John Deere and USDA often flock to green. Starbucks says it uses green because it's "fresh and inviting." On the other hand, green can also symbolize wealth, which is why financial institutions like H&R Block and TD Bank use it.

Blue: loyal and secure
As Adobe's Marketo Engage notes, blue is the most common branding color, showing up in "33 percent of the top 100 brands." Blue is often calming, as it's associated with things like the ocean or a bright blue sky. It also offers a sense of loyalty, trustworthiness, and security. Brands like PayPal and Venmo, whom customers rely on to be secure, use blue in their logos. You've probably noticed that many social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn use blue, for all the same reasons.
Indigo: sincere and authoritative
Indigo (or dark blue) isn't quite as relaxing as light blue, but it does evoke a sense of sincerity. It's also a bit more authoritative and powerful. Bank of America, for example, might want to signal that they are a reliable authority when it comes to money.
Violet: truthful, royal, and luxurious
Violet (or purple) often portrays elegance, royalty, and luxuriousness. It's also a bit mysterious. Hallmark, for example, has leaned into the sense of royalty by using crowns in its branding. Purple can also signal creativity and truthfulness, which would make it a good choice for Hallmark's greeting card products.
Pink: loving and warm
Finally, we have pink, which is often associated with love, romance, and warmth. It's also cheerful and welcoming, which could be why brands like Lyft and T-Mobile have flocked to pink. Plus, many people associate pink with femininity, making it a perfect choice for female-focused brands like Victoria's Secret and Barbie.

For children who are old enough to understand is can be a good idea to role-play how to go to sleep with your infant. Simply go to your infants bedroom during the day and with a doll or teddy-bear role-play going to bed. Get your child to put the doll into bed and read it a story and sing a song or whatever your going to bed routine is. Then tell the doll that you are leaving the room but will be back to check on them in 2 minutes. After 2 minutes send your child into the room to give the doll a kiss and tuck it in. Do this again after 5 minutes and so on until your infants agrees the doll is asleep. Then at night time do exactly the same thing with your child! This is a crucial part of teaching a child to fall sleep by themselves.

Hunters + Unicorns: The Presales Edition – Frank Lamprea #002
January 19, 2021 huntersandunicorns THE 33 CxO's Presales Edition 01:33:5098.82M 0 Comments
https://huntersandunicorns.com/podcast-player/938/hunters-unicorns-the-presales-edition-frank-lamprea-002.mp3
Episode 2 features Frank Lamprea, Sales Engineering Leader at ThoughtSpot. Frank started his journey into presales at BladeLogic in 2006, having originally built his career in the end-user space. His adaptability, deep-rooted passion for technology and profound insight into the customer experience gave him the raw materials he needed to enter and evolve in a pioneering, high-growth, aggressive software space, and subsequently launch an incredible career trajectory. With a consistent focus on progression and "sharpening the sword", Frank has continued to excel in this field, climbing the ranks as part of world class sales teams. He has played key roles in the growth of market leaders including BMC, AppDynamics and most recently, ThoughtSpot.
"Most successful presales people have an interesting mix of skills that makes them who they are. You need that mix of technical expertise and a good set of soft skills, communication skills, savviness with the business and an ability to build champions and connect with people."
In a powerful sales organization built on rigor and methodology, and surrounded by like-minded individuals, Frank wanted to win. He recognised that the only marker for success in this industry is performance. His technical expertise already equipped him with the skills required to make it as an engineer, but the training and ground-breaking approach to presales enablement at BladeLogic added new dimensions to the role. This enabled him to optimise and expand his skills, establishing foundations to support his development into the multifaceted leader he is today.
"There are two ways that sales engineers are categorized – you're either a tool or you're a partner. Unfortunately, a lot of companies treat sales engineers as a tool. I've always strived to have it be a partnership of equals and I think big part of why we would win at BladeLogic is that we maximized the value of the resources that we had by developing relationships like that and by not letting somebody be idle when they could be contributing."

One public at my org killed herself. I remember that in the months leading up to it, her complaints were seen as a total "flap" that needed to be covered up by HCO -- every time I heard it mentioned, it wasn't, "How can we help her?" it was, "How can we distance ourselves from her, and 'handle' her and convince her to walk back her statements?" There was such a lack of empathy, even in the wake of her death, when the biggest goal was to prevent her family from making a big memorial for her, so that her death would pass by as quietly as possible. Initially I could hardly stand it, especially because she had been on services for a very long time, and was higher up the Bridge than I was (wasn't she therefore inherently saner, I thought?). I knew her and we'd always been very friendly when we ran into each other, having our lunches together, getting coffee together, that sort of thing.
Recently I learned that she had been dropping abundant hints that she was going to kill herself -- but no one sought help for her (real help, not just reporting her to Ethics lines -- UGH). I wonder if things really still would have gone the way they did if people had chosen to help rather than disconnect. I wish I'd known about her troubles, but I wonder what I really would have done when I was in the midst of the brainwashing -- I probably would have been too afraid of HCO myself to have gotten involved.

Understanding South African media through a global lens
15 August 2017 | Story Natalie Simon.
Herman Wasserman. Photo Robyn Walker.
What values should guide the South African media? How can the media best serve all of society? Professor Herman Wasserman, Director of the Centre for Film and Media Studies, has dedicated his career to understanding – and answering – questions such as these. His work around media ethics and comparative media studies has recently been recognised and honoured internationally.
Professor Herman Wasserman began working as a South African journalist in 1995 – a year in which South African society was trying to redefine itself after the country's first democratic elections.
"This was really a period of redefinition for journalism in South Africa as we tried to grapple with what our role should be in this new democracy," he says.
It was perhaps here that the seeds were planted for Wasserman's illustrious research career. For the past 15 years, he has been working on research around normative ethics and the media: in other words, how value systems guiding the way journalism is practised in Africa can be developed to best fit society.
Critiquing the northern frameworks
While there is no single western media framework, one of the dominant frames that South African media have adopted is that of the watchdog aproach, with a focus on unearthing corruption and holding those in power to account.
"This is, clearly, a very important role in the South African context," says Wasserman. "Corruption is a problem in our society and courageous journalists are playing an important role in ensuring these dirty practices come out."
But it can translate into a very antagonistic kind of journalism that defines its primary role as in relation to government. According to Wasserman, we should also be asking questions around whose interests the media are watching out for. Much of South African journalism tends to foreground questions that are mainly of interest to an elite.
"So, in addition to saying we expect our media to play a watchdog role, how can we also foster ethical values of compassion, care and social justice? And how do we do this in a way that strengthens rather than undermines the media's ability to hold all forms of power – state, corporate and social– to account?"
Wasserman argues that the media in South Africa could also play a role in broadening our understanding of each other, going beyond the narrow interests of the elite. One approach he has found useful in recent years, he says, is that of 'listening' as a framework. –actively seeking out and listening to voices that have historically been, and continue to be, suppressed, stereotyped and marginalised.
The need for this kind of listening framework was recently illustrated by the work Wasserman did with his colleagues at the Centre for Film and Media Studies – of which Wasserman is the director – Associate Professor Tanja Bosch and Dr Wallace Chuma, on an international project titled Media, Conflict and Democratisation (MeCoDem). Wasserman led the South African research team that compared the way South African media covered conflicts like community protests and xenophobic attacks with similar instances in other transitional democracies internationally.
"We found these protests are routinely reported only as an inconvenience for the middle classes, often merely mentioned as part of the traffic report. Attempts to engage with protestors, find out why they are protesting, why they don't opt for other forms of engagement and what has led to the breakdown in trust, are very rare," he says.
"Listening as an active way of engaging with, and around, conflict is very important in South Africa and we are in a good position to explore ways of reporting that could set an example for media in the global north."

What the can the north learn from us? And what can we learn from the east?
Wasserman stresses the importance of comparative media studies, arguing that in today's globalised media environment, questions of media ethics cannot be tackled in isolation.
He has argued in his work that historically, ethical norms for the media have been determined in the north and applied in the global south, without due attention to the role of media in these contexts. In his latest book, Media, Geopolitics, and Power: A View from the Global South, forthcoming in January 2018 from the University of Illinois Press, he argues that the South African media can serve as an example of how global shifts and changing geopolitics play out on the media landscape. This, he believes, can provide material for northern researchers to help understand their own changing environment.
He gives the increased migration and accompying intolerance we are currently witnessing in Europe and the USA as an example.
"Media in these countries are now confronted with questions around how to deal with conflicts arising from cultural differences," he says.
Because of its colonial history, cultural and ethnic conflict has been a challenge in Africa for decades. Wasserman argues that it might be useful for northern researchers to look at what has and has not worked on this continent, particularly around journalism for peace building and negotiating cultural identities.
Another interesting angle on questions of global media ethics in relation to local specificities has been his work on China–Africa media relations. Wasserman has been the principal investigator on a project, funded by the National Research Foundation, to investigate how China's increased media presence on the continent has prompted renewed questions about press freedom and journalistic value systems. "The media has been a key part of China's soft power initiatives in Africa," he says.
This has forced a reflection on the value systems underpinning African journalists' work and how this may differ from the Chinese approach to journalism, which some have called 'constructive journalism'.
"This is not to say the Chinese model is preferable," says Wasserman. "Rather it prompts us to ask deeper questions about what the best normative framework for African societies would look like, the history of how we have arrived at current normative approaches, and reflect critically on the assumptions underlying these."

Significance of the Georg Forster Award
Wasserman will have the opportunity for a great deal of further comparative work as a result of winning the Georg Forster Research Award by the Humboldt Foundation in Germany. The award includes an invitation to undertake a period of research in Germany, which Wasserman plans to use by spending his sabbatical in 2018 at the Ludwig-Maximillian University of Munich (LMU).
Wasserman is greatly looking forward to fleshing out some of his research questions with colleagues at the LMU, "South African media research tends to be quite parochial. This grant offers an important opportunity to study African media within a broader, global context.
"If we say we want to 'decolonise' media research, that cannot mean to become more inward looking or rejecting epistemologies from elsewhere out of hand. Instead, it requires us to examine the global power relations impacting upon our local situation, the history of how we got to where we are, and the ways in which we can speak back to global discourses."
He also notes the significance of this award beyond the personal. "Up to six of these awards are given out annually, and they are not discipline-specific," he says. "For me this award really recognises the importance of media research in a globalised world."

LA Clippers, Lakers and Kings create fund for hourly staff
LOS ANGELES, CA — With the NBA and NHL seasons on a temporary hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, the LA Clippers, LA Kings, Los Angeles Lakers and STAPLES Center have joined forces and established a financial support fund for all hourly staff impacted by the suspension of sporting events at the arena.
The fund was created to provide compensation for the lost wages of employees who cannot work due to the suspension of the Clippers, Kings and Lakers games through the early part of the spring (as of press, there is no word as to when the seasons will resume).
More than 2,800 active hourly staff, ranging from ushers and parking attendants to stagehands and housekeeping will receive financial assistance from this fund, which was a collaborative effort by all four organizations.

CDS Champions Jobs for People with Disabilities (HI UCEDD)
People with disabilities are working, training for jobs, or searching for better jobs. Clearly, work is important for people with disabilities. But in the search for employment, many run into barriers that rarely confront their counterparts without disabilities. Find out why this is so and learn why CDS researchers say a change has got to come--for everyone's benefit.
All too often employers operate under the mistaken impression that hiring people with disabilities will mean paying out big money for special accommodations in order to meet legal requirements. Likewise, people with disabilities often worry that being hired will disqualify them for public programs crucial for coping with their special needs. These are but a few examples of the persistent myths that create barriers between Hawaii jobseekers with physical, cognitive or mental disabilities and Hawaii employers with job vacancies that are especially plentiful now that the Aloha State is experiencing a record-breaking low unemployment rate, according to the latest figures from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
So it happened that myth-busting was high on the agenda at the Employment Forum held October 11 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village as part of the 33rd Annual Pacific Rim International Conference on Disability and Diversity, sponsored by CDS. Titled "Great Employers Making Workplaces Great," the forum attracted a capacity crowd of employers, disability specialists, human resource professionals, and self-advocates.
"A main purpose of the forum was to get out the word that it is easy and rewarding to diversify the workplace by hiring people with disabilities," said CDS Assistant Specialist William Mihalke. Government services make it cost-efficient for employers to comply with laws related to disability, while laws protecting the rights of people with disabilities make it possible to enroll in public programs for job training and job placement and keep other forms of public assistance, including Medicaid, Mihalke said.
In one of more than one-dozen sessions featured at the Employment Forum, several local employers engaged in a roundtable discussion about their own experiences in recruiting new employees from a largely untapped pool of people with disabilities; all agreed that this led to win-win outcomes. "Some said it was just the right thing to do. We heard from one employer who said that giving jobs to qualified individuals with disabilities was his way to give back to his community," said Chin Lee, a junior specialist at CDS and the lead organizer of the October forum. Roundtable participants represented a range of work sectors and businesses, including the hospitality industry, the State Department of Human Resources Development or DRHD, the Naval Station at Pearl Harbor, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Lowe's Home Improvement.
"Those with experience in job development generally agree that people with disabilities are absolutely dedicated to their jobs, and they often turn out to be the hardest workers who keep down turnover," said CDS support specialist Lisa-Marie Tam.
Despite signs of progress, CDS specialists are quick to point out the many challenges that remain. The latest statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor indicate that up to 80-percent of people with disabilities experience chronic joblessness, in spite of wanting to work. More has to be done to ensure that people with disabilities have a fair chance at landing good jobs that provide decent benefits, career advancement, and the sense of personal dignity which comes with being able to make a steady living. CDS continues to help by leading the multiagency Hawaii Jobs Now Partnership. Under this federal grant-funded initiative, the goal is to remove systemic barriers and put competitive employment opportunities within reach of youth and young adults with intellectual disability and developmental disability. "We look forward to mounting a pilot project which will reduce systemic barriers and use widespread commitment of many partners in bringing about positive change," said Chin Lee.

Description: iasl compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine Language), which is suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware. It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes.
The package builds fine in mock.
The name does not match the tarball because it contains more than just the compiler, that is packaged here.
the whole package? Maybe the other parts can be useful as well?!
> the whole package? Maybe the other parts can be useful as well?!
I would also package the other utilities if possible.
Fixed, has to be less  that 80 chars, it was excactly 80 chars.
> I would also package the other utilities if possible.
will close this ticket, soon.
> Do you want to do it or do you use the utitilities?
Not really. I once tried iasl for changing DSDT of my laptop (and failed).
well) I consider the package approved.
FC-6 does not help anyone. I will import it in FC-6 when someone really needs it.
