Can the New Coronavirus Be Stopped?
By Brenda Goodman, MA

Jan. 28, 2020 -- With a new coronavirus sickening thousands across China, researchers who specialize in tracking the spread of infectious disease are modeling its movements. They're asking just how widespread the illness could become, now that cases have been confirmed in 17 other countries.
"We've already lost control of it in China," says Michael Osterholm, PhD, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
He says the quarantines in major Chinese cities have probably had limited impact.
"The idea that we could create this seal around China is just totally unrealistic," he says. "I think at that point, you have to assume we're going to see widespread transmission around the world."
Likewise, Scott Gottlieb, MD, former commissioner of the FDA, said in an op-ed for CNBC that "global spread appears inevitable."
"When pockets of the outbreak arrive on our shores, we shouldn't have undue panic. But we need to be ready," he wrote.
On Tuesday, the CDC announced that it would expand its surveillance of travelers. Enhanced screening will take place at 20 airports, up from the five airports that are now doing enhanced screening.
The CDC also took steps to limit travel to China, asking people to reconsider any trips there and not go at all unless it was absolutely necessary.
The latest report from a team from the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London estimates that based on the frequency of international travel from Wuhan, there were as many as 100,000 people infected as of Jan. 26, a number that's far higher than official case counts.
Osterholm thinks the higher estimate is probably on target. That's because the official counts depend on testing, and not everyone is being tested.
"Right now, testing is extremely limited in most locations," he says.
In the United States, the CDC has posted the blueprints for a test for the 2019-nCoV virus, and it is working to send testing kits to state health departments. It will be at least a week before tests are available outside of CDC headquarters in Atlanta.
Charting the Spread
The Imperial College London team has also estimated that right now, every infected person spreads the disease to between 1.5 and 3.5 other people. That's the basic reproduction number, or R0. At 2.6, the estimated R0 for 2019-nCoV is roughly the same as for its cousin, severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. Experts say they don't have a good handle on how often infection with the virus turns fatal, but so far, it appears to be less deadly than SARS. From 2002 to 2003, the SARS outbreak killed nearly 800 people.
The R0 number changes as control measures -- like isolating sick people -- are put into place. The goal is to get this number low enough so that person-to-person transmission is limited. An R0 above one means sustained person-to-person transmission of an infection.
"In general, you want to get the R0 below 1; that's how you get a disease under control," says Nancy Messonnier, MD, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
To bring the R0 down, the World Health Organization says it is critical to limit person-to-person transmission, by following the close contacts of infected people and protecting health care workers who treat patients. To do that, people who get sick have to be identified early in their infection. That will require more education about risk and symptoms, and more rapid testing of possible cases.
So far, only a handful of 2019-nCoV cases have been confirmed in the U.S. All of them have come into the country with travelers returning from Wuhan.
As of Jan. 27, the CDC had 110 people under investigation in 26 states. Of those, five people have tested positive for the virus, while 32 have been cleared. Test results on 73 others are pending. Messonnier said some of those suspected cases were close contacts of infected travelers.
The CDC has said it expects numbers of suspected and confirmed cases to increase. It's asking people who have traveled to China to seek medical care if they have symptoms like a fever or a hard time breathing.
And researchers are rushing to get a vaccine that could protect against infection into clinical trials.
Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says the National Institutes of Health is working on better tests, antiviral medications to treat the infection, and a vaccine to protect people from being infected in the first place.
"We're proceeding as if we will have to deploy a vaccine," he said at a news briefing. "In other words, we're looking at the worst scenario -- that this becomes a bigger outbreak."
Addressing the media Tuesday, Alex Azar, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, reminded reporters that so far, only five cases have been diagnosed in the U.S. and that the risk to Americans so far is very low.
"The playbook for responding to an infectious disease outbreak is relatively simple," he said. "You identify cases. Isolate people. Diagnose them and treat them. Then you track down all the contacts of the infected person, and you do the same with those people and the same with contacts of contacts, if necessary."
Azar said that was the kind of hard work being done to contain the outbreak in the U.S.
'I Think Now We're Ready for It'
"I think the numbers will go up, but I don't think we're going to see anything like what we've seen in China here in the United States," says Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
He says the warning from China gave the U.S. and other countries a leg up.
"I think now we're ready for it. We know when someone comes in from China. If they have symptoms, they're being monitored and placed in quarantine," he says.
Right now, as soon as a health care provider suspects that someone could be infected, they are being told to put a mask on the person and isolate them in a private room until testing for the virus can be done.
Hospitals are keeping people who have been confirmed to have the virus in isolation until they recover. In China, where the virus is most prevalent, officials are taking the extra step of building separate health care facilities to treat infected patients.
One thing that could change that picture is if those who are infected could transmit the virus before symptoms appear -- the so-called incubation period. That would make new infections harder to stop.
A Chinese health minister made that claim over the weekend, and doctors in Germany said a recent case there was transmitted by a person who didn't have symptoms. But Messonnier and other experts say they still aren't sure the virus can spread this way.
"There have been isolated reports of asymptomatic infection from several countries. We're looking at that data closely," Messonnier says.

Q: How can I retrieve the attribute of a clicked element with jQuery? I'm using wordpress and woocommerce, and I want to add some scripts to run when a product variation is selected, with jQuery.
I have a set of "buttons" in html like this:

  S
  M
  L
  XL
  XXL
  XXXL

I add click listeners with the following:
$(".adsw-attribute-option > .meta-item-text").on("click", () => {})

And inside the handler I need to read the data-value attribute of the "button" that was clicked. First I tried: $(this).attr("data-value"). This returned undefined. I've tried with .data instead of the attr function, with the same result.
It seems like there's some issue with the usage of $(this), I couldn't read any of its properties like html, or class.
I thought $(this) should refer to the object, that the event was called on, but it seems, this is not the case.
What am I missing here? Is there any other way to retrieve the value of "data-value" in this case?

A: You should use the .attr function:
$(".adsw-attribute-option > .meta-item-text").on("click", function () {
  $(this).attr('data-value');
});

It's important you don't use an arrow function because you can't call this when using an arrow function.

A: if you're using an arrow function for the handler, try using the function keyword instead. the arrow function will have the same this value as its parent context, so it won't give you access to the attribute you're trying to read.
$(".adsw-attribute-option > .meta-item-text").on("click", function(e) {
    console.log($(this).attr('data-value'));
});

A: $(".adsw-attribute-option > .meta-item-text").on("click", e => {
  console.log($(e.target).data('value'));
  console.log(e.target.dataset.value);
});

You can use an arrow function, if you use the event passed in.

This video was very useful as an example of language that gives instructions. I used it today in my writing class, and it worked well as an introduction to several teaching points. The first time my class watched the video, pencils were down, and the students just watched for enjoyment and to get the general idea. The second viewing included a closer look and an analysis of the language used in the video. The video offers some good examples of features found in language that gives instruction.
You will have to _____.
Be(ing) careful not to _____.
The video also gave students exposure to interesting and slightly more complex introductions and conclusions than they have written so far this semester.
How do you make a singular noun plural?
You can start this part of the lesson by asking your class what singular and plural mean, what count nouns and noncount nouns are, and what vowels and consonants are. Then ask them, "How do you change a singular count noun into a plural (count) noun?" Cajole them into giving you a more complex answer than, "Add an s" and you're off.
The fun thing about this particular presentation is that is demonstrates how you can turn an image into the background for a slide. To do this in PowerPoint, go to Design > Background Styles > Format Background > Picture or Text Fill > Insert from — File > (Browse to choose the file.) > Close.
The discovery of this video is an example of the benefits of wandering. I am not sure why or how I found this fine piece of student work, but I am sure that it was the result of following curiosity and also some rather inefficient, but enjoyable, wandering. In any case, I wanted to share it with you.
It was made by young learners of English, and even though I teach college students, I use it at the beginning of a speech class I teach because it is so nicely organized.
My students are in a language program that develops their English language skills, so that they can take content courses in college. One of the skills that is vital when taking college courses is the ability to both recognize and use organization. Especially in college where students are processing large amounts of information, this understanding is useful for both comprehension and recall. In speech class, students are required to write an outline, give a speech plan or preview in their introduction, and use signal words so that their audience can clearly recognize the parts of the speech. This video is a useful and interesting introduction to organizing a speech. After viewing it, we discuss how it is organized and then, in pairs, students write a phrasal outline of it.
Some languages have a rhythm that is quite similar to English, while other languages place stress on syllables that English would not. A Japanese friend of mine named Tomoko was amused by the way her Canadian friends pronounced her name. In Japanese, none of the three syllables is stressed, but Tomoko's Canadian friends (who were unfamiliar with Japanese) naturally applied the rules for stress found in English to her name and stressed the second syllable. When I asked Tomoko if she corrected her Canadian friends' pronunciation, she said that she did not. She felt that their pronunciation of her name was very cute — a lovely example of flexibility. Flexibility is one of the many reasons that she so successfully interacts with people from a wide range of cultures.
The language teaching point that I would like to make is that speakers of some language groups have an easier time picking up the stress and rhythm of English than other groups do. When I lived and taught in Tokyo, Nanci Graves (a colleague) and I created an activity for a speech class that would give the English language students at our university a chance to practice the rhythm of English. We called the activity "Cats and Other Animals" and centered the lesson around four poems about animals. One poem came from T.S. Eliot's Jellicle Cats and the other four are children's poems written by Shel Silverstein. The drawings are also Shel Silverstein's.
I have resurrected this activity and now use it in a speech class I teach from time to time. I use it as one of the lead up activities to a speech my students give that requires them to tell a folk tale from their first culture. One of the points that is assessed is their use of drama and the activity "Cats and Other Animals" is a fun way to give them some practice before they give their presentations.
Digital technology has enabled me to add this activity from several (two or three hundred?) years ago. I scanned it, and I am now adding it to my "TESOL File Drawer." Take a look. Use it if you'd like, and have fun.

Анастаси́я Никола́евна Коженко́ва (; 19 января 1986, Ковель) — украинская гребчиха, выступала за сборную Украины по академической гребле в середине 2000-х — начале 2010-х годов. Чемпионка летних Олимпийских игр в Лондоне, чемпионка Европы и мира, многократная победительница и призёрша этапов Кубка мира, регат национального значения. На соревнованиях представляла спортивный клуб «Дзержинка», заслуженный мастер спорта Украины.

Биография
Анастасия Коженкова родилась 19 января 1986 года в городе Ковеле Волынской области Украинской ССР. Активно заниматься академической греблей начала в возрасте четырнадцати лет, проходила подготовку в днепродзержинском спортивном клубе «Дзержинка» и в школе высшего спортивного мастерства в Днепропетровске, в разное время тренировалась у таких специалистов как, Владимир Морозов и Алексей Кириченко.

Первого серьёзного успеха добилась в 2002 году, когда впервые попала в юношескую сборную Украины и побывала на юниорском чемпионате мира в Литве, где в зачёте парных двухместных экипажей показала девятый результат. Год спустя на чемпионате мира среди юниоров в Афинах заняла одиннадцатое место в четвёрках, ещё через год на аналогичных соревнованиях в испанском Баньолесе выиграла в той же дисциплине серебряную медаль. В 2005 году была четырнадцатой в двойках на молодёжном мировом первенстве в Амстердаме.

На взрослом международном уровне дебютировала в сезоне 2006 года, выступив и заняв седьмое место на этапе Кубка мира в польской Познани. Кроме того, поучаствовала в молодёжном чемпионате мира в Бельгии на озере Хазевинкель, где тоже пришла к финишу седьмой. В 2007 году соревновалась на молодёжном мировом первенстве в Глазго, была шестой в программе одиночных лодок, затем ездила на молодёжный чемпионат мира в немецкий Бранденбург, став пятой в двойках, и на взрослый чемпионат Европы в Афины, став одиннадцатой в одиночках.

Сезон 2009 года оказался одним из самых успешных в её спортивной карьере, в парных четвёрках Коженкова одержала победу на чемпионате мира в Познани и на чемпионате Европы в Бресте. Год спустя выиграла две серебряные медали на этапах Кубка мира, защитила титул чемпионки Европы на соревнованиях в португальском городе Монтемор-у-Велью и добавила в послужной список серебро с чемпионата мира, прошедшего на озере Карапиро в Новой Зеландии. 2011 год в спортивном плане тоже провела успешно, на различных этапах мирового кубка взяла золото, серебро и бронзу, в третий раз подряд стала чемпионкой Европы на турнире в болгарском Пловдиве, в двойках расположилась на четвёртой позиции зачёта чемпионата мира на Бледском озере в Словении, остановившись в шаге от подиума.

Благодаря череде удачных выступлений Коженкова удостоилась права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх 2012 года в Лондоне — с четырёхместным парным экипажем, куда также вошли гребчихи Яна Дементьева, Наталия Довгодько и Екатерина Тарасенко, одолела всех соперниц и завоевала тем самым золотую медаль. Подготовил команду тренер Владимир Морозов. Вскоре после лондонской Олимпиады покинула украинскую сборную в связи с рождением ребёнка. За выдающиеся спортивные достижения удостоена почётного звания «Заслуженный мастер спорта Украины», награждена орденом «За заслуги» III степени.

Имеет высшее образование, в 2008 году окончила Национальный университет физического воспитания и спорта Украины. Замужем за своим тренером Алексеем Кириченко, есть сын Елисей.

Where Can I Dye My Hair White Regardless of each one of the specialized niche hair salons which have already been showing up, from home made pubs to blow-out salons into interrogate studios, professional hair dye projects still induce the wonder industry. But we've been re thinking the procedure after becoming scarred by this elegance horror narrative.
So we inquired cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson, chief executive director of Catalyst aesthetic advancement and Elizabeth Cunnane Phillips,'' Philip Kingsley's trichological expert, to explain the hair dye is now doing for our hair.
Hair dye has a couple of of barriers that it has to overcome before it blows off the shade onto your hair. "It needs to be equipped to enter the hair shaft, and barrier among the cuticle, which is the hair's defense," explains Wilson. "Should you presume tree bark includes that outside covering, that's how exactly our cuticle acts. Therefore for [dye] to permeate through the cuticle, then it has to be lifted." Enterpeppermint. This compound elevates the pH of the entire scalp, also in doing so, the cuticle lifts and calms. "The issue with that is as soon as you've bothered the cuticle, the injury has begun as the cuticle isn't supposed to be raised," says Wilson.
Allergy symptoms to hair dye are pretty frightful, however they are also scarce. "It's projected that four in one million people are sensitive to hair dyes. But they can happen, which means you need to be careful," says Cunnane Phillips. "The small proportion of risk tends to set off people from carrying out a patch test, but we can't stress enough the value of doing a test for protected colouring."
Exactly why will there be some issue that hair dyes may lead to cancer?
Many people in the USA and Europe utilize hair dyes. It's projected that more than one-third of ladies on the age 18 and roughly 10% of males above the age 40 utilize a hair dye.
Contemporary hair dyes are traditionally labeled as everlasting (or oxidative), semi-permanent , and temporary) Long term hair dyes, which make up roughly 80 percent of currently promoted solutions, consist of colourless dye"intermediates" (compounds known as aromatic amines) and dye"couplers." |} In the existence of hydrogen peroxide, the intermediates and also couplers react with the other person to sort pigment molecules. Darker colours are made by utilizing high doses of intermediates. Semi-permanent and short-term hair dyes are nonoxidative and comprise colored compounds which blot baldness right.
Over 5,000 unique compounds are applied in hair dye products, some of which are noted to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in animals (2--4). Because a great number of folks utilize hair dyes, boffins also have tried to establish whether experience of the compounds in baldness products is related to a greater probability of cancer from humans.
Where Can I Dye My Hair White Early hair dye formulations comprised compounds, such as aromatic amines which were found to induce cancer in animals. At the mid- the too late 1970 s, however, manufacturers changed the elements in dye products to eliminate some of the chemical substances (two, 3, 5). It's as yet not known if a number of those compounds still used in hair dyes might lead to cancer. Given the widespread use of hair dye merchandise, even a small increase in risk can possess a considerable public wellness impact.
Lots of scientific studies have investigated the connection between the personal use of hair dyes and the possibility of NHL, with contradictory results. Because the small size of some studies might have confined their capacity to detect an association between hair dye use and cancer, a pooled (combined) investigation of four case control studies was carried out (8). All four studies had obtained detailed information on hair dye use, including dates and duration of use, and NHL sub type. The pooled analysis contained 4,461 women with NHL along with 5,799 females who did not possess NHL. The outcome of the analysis revealed that females who commenced utilizing hair dye earlier 1980 had a marginally (30 percent ) elevated risk of NHL compared with all females who had never applied hair dye, whereas no sudden increase in risk was seen for ladies who commenced utilizing hair dye after 1980.
Once the investigators examined the hazards of numerous special NHL subtypes, they found that hair dye end users had significantly raised odds of both follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. For the large part, the gains were limited to ladies who commenced utilizing hair dye previously 1980, but an larger probability of follicular lymphoma was observed in females who started using dark-coloured dyes immediately after 1980. Even though these results are in accord with the idea the hair dyes are somewhat more carcinogenic, it's likewise feasible that the absence of raised pitfalls for hair dye people that began utilizing dyes after 1980 reveals lower accumulative exposure levels or inadequate period because first exposure for any growth in hazard to turn into apparent.
Scientific tests of this association between hair dye use as well as the chance of leukaemia have experienced contradictory results. By way of example, one case control analysis analyzed hair dye use one of 769 individuals with adult acute leukaemia and also 623 individuals with no leukaemia in the united states of america and Canada (9). It found that the dangers of severe leukaemia were high among consumers of formulas of both permanent and nonpermanent (i.e., semi-permanent and temporary) dyes compared to one of those who'd used dyes, although the gains were not statistically significant. No risk gains were observed one of the of more recent dye formulations. The danger was greatest amongst people who'd consumed lasting dyes for longer durations (1-5 or more years).
But a case control analyze in Italy found no association between use of permanent hair dye general and danger of leukaemia, but end users of black long term stains, however, not one of additional colour dyes, did possess a heightened hazard. The analysis, however, did not collect information on the frequency or timing of hair dye use Where Can I Dye My Hair White.

What do I do if I step on an offering? Balinese Canang Sari/offerings on the street – Angel House Ubud. Boutique 3 suite hotel or Whole Villa Rental. Authentic Bali experience. Unique Accommodation.
July 11, 2018 July 12, 2018 Angel House Ubud: Whole Villa or book 1 of 3 only boutique suites.
Today I would like to share something that you might notice while having holiday in Bali, it's almost in every single places & spots around while you are having a walk or at the place you stay..
Canang sari is one of the daily offerings made by Balinese Hindus to thank the Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in praise and prayer. Canang sari will be seen in the Balinese temples, on small shrines in houses, shop and on the ground or as a part of a larger offering. a small square or round palm leaf made "Canang Sari" is daily Balinese offerings. The phrase Canang Sari is derived from the Balinese words sari means essence and canang means a small palm-leaf basket as the tray. Canang Sari is the symbol of thankfulness to the Hindu god, Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. It is offered every day as a form of thanking for the peace had given to the world.
Meanwhile – the second offering.
Banten saiban or jotan is a daily offering that is offered everyday after cooking or before eating. It is very simple consisting of a pinch of rice with other food like vegetable or fish or meat, on a small piece of banana leaf/other leaf. Due to its everyday usage so it is grouped into "Nitya Yadnya". Actually what is offered; rice and its companion food like vegetable and meat that are cooked; that means pinch of rice is just the sample, therefore Banten Saiban is also called "Yadnya Sesa", that means offering is a priority. Banten Saiban is offered to God / Gods, it has a philosophy to thank God for His blessing.
Please 🙏If you see canang sari on the ground when you are walking around street, do not step over or step on it because it is considered as not respecting the culture and the religion. Especially the ones with incense that is still burning.
I'm looking forward to welcoming you again & again.

When I was a young man about this town, I frequented the ordinary of the Black-horse in Holborn, where the person that usually presided at the table was a rough old-fashioned gentleman, who, according to the custom of those times, had been the Major and Preacher of a regiment, It happened one day, that a noisy young officer, bred in France, was venting some new-fangled notions, and speaking, in the gaiety of his humour, against the dispensations of Providence. The Major, at first, only desired him to talk more respectfully of one for whom all the company had an honour; but finding him run on in his extravagance, began to reprimand him after a more serious manner. • Young man,' said he, . do not abuse your Benefactor whilst you are eating his bread. Consider whose air you breathe, whose
presence you are in, and who it is that gave you the power of that very speech, which make use of to his dishonour.' The young fellow, who thought to turn matters into a jest, asked him, if he was going to preach ?' but at the same time desired him to take care what he said when he spoke to a man of honour.' of honour!' says the Major ; ' thou art an infidel and a blasphemer, and I shall use thee as such.' In short, the quarrel ran so high, that the Major was desired to walk out. Upon their coming into the garden, the old fellow advised his antagonist to consider the place into which one pass might drive

He was bewailing to me, in very just terms, the offences which he frequently met with in the abuse of speech ; some use ten times more words than they need; some put in words quite foreign to their purpose ; and others adorn their discourses with oaths and blasphemies, by way of tropes and figures.

Upon this he drew his sword, and cried out with a loud voice, - The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!' which so terrified his antagonist, that he was immediately disarmed, and thrown upon his knees. In this posture he begged his life; but the Major refused to grant it, before he had asked pardon for his offence in a short extemporary prayer, which the old gentleman dictated to him upon the spot, and which his proselyte repeated after him in the presence of the whole ordinary, that were now gathered about him in the garden.

THE HISTORY OF TOM VARNISH.
· BECAUSE I have a professed aversion to long beginnings of stories, I will go into this at once, by telling you, that there dwells near the Royal Exchange as happy a couple as ever entered into wed
lock. These live in that mutual confidence of each other, which renders the satisfactions of marriage even greater than those of friendship, and makes wife and husband the dearest appellations of human life. Mr. Balance is a merchant of good consideration, and understands the world, not from speculation, but practice. His wife is the daughter of an honest house, ever bred in a family way; and has, from a natural good understanding, and great innocence, a freedom which men of sense know to be the certain sign of virtue, and fools take to be an encouragement to vice.
Tom Varnish, a young gentleman of the MiddleTemple, by the bounty of a good father, who was so obliging as to die, and leave him, in his twentyfourth year,
besides a good estate, a large sum which lay in the hands of Mr. Balance, had by this means an intimacy at his house; and being one of those hard students who read plays for improvement in the law, took his rules of life from thence. Upon mature deliberation, he conceived it very proper, that he, as a man of wit and pleasure of the town, should have an intrigue with his merchant's wife. He no sooner thought of this adventure, but he began it by an amorous epistle to the lady, and a faithful promise to wait upon her at a certain hour the next evening, when he knew her husband was to be absent.
The letter was no sooner received, but it was communicated to the husband, and produced no other effect in him, than that he joined with his wife to raise all the mirth they could out of this fantastical piece of gallantry. They were so little concerned at this dangerous man of mode, that they plotted ways to perplex him without hurting him. Varnish comes exactly at his hour; and the lady's well-acted confusion at his entrance gave


Zula's new 6 Passes EP -- out now on Inflated Records and Forged Artifacts -- was created in and depicts a New York City where common spaces and social fabric are threatened. Over the course of six new songs, the band slips between the familiar and the unfamiliar, channeling feelings of uncertainty that exist around entities which once felt comforting and safe.
Lead by cousins Nate and Henry Terepka, who seamlessly trade off lead vocal and songwriting duties, the four-piece band has -- for the very first time -- invited auxiliary musicians into the studio to introduce new colors and textures to their sound: Hannah Epperson on violin and Arnan Raz on saxophone. The EP was self-produced and then mixed by frequent collaborator Jake Aron ( Solange, Le1f, tUnE-yArDs).
Zula's ability to offset the studiously mechanical with the strange, wild wiggle of something alive has always been at the center of their ethos as a band, as the interplay between bandmates reveals the vast possibilities a single melody or rhythm can possess. But 6 Passes also sees Zula tightening up their sprawling art-rock compositions in favor of more compact, hook-heavy psych-pop tracks, which somehow also feel more free and spontaneous than the band's previous work.
"Zula have always excelled at the sort of grooves that get you out of your seat and on your feet [...] Mesmerizing and hook-laden."
"[6 Passes] is both a response to the current time we live in and an escape from it... Equal parts cathartic, nervous, confounding, captivating, thought-provoking, and dance-inducing."
"To listen to a Zula track is to get lost in a world of the band's own creation — a groovy, hypnotic space in which the answers to difficult questions start to become clearer..."
"An interpretive, immersive experience... Songs that are mathy and complicated without being too intellectual or exclusive."
"Will get you pumped to tackle something or will chill you out as you ride the relaxation wave."
"New York psych-pop explorers Zula aren't easy to pin down, but while their sound shifts track to track, there is a beautiful coherence..."


RICHMOND, Va. -- In the heart of the city, the sounds of cars were replaced with nearly 18,000 walkers and runners taking part in the 41st annual Anthem Richmond Marathon, Markel Richmond Half Marathon and VCU Health 8K.
On Saturday morning, the 8K started at 7 a.m. while the full marathon kicked off at 7:45 a.m. in the heart of downtown Richmond.
Some runners, who ran up to 26.2 miles, challenged themselves to run farther, faster and longer.
The course took them through the city's Fan and Museum District, around the James River, through Carytown and to the finish line near Browns Island.
This is the first marathon mother Suzie and daughter Monica Hershey have run together.
What helped them and so many others make it to the finish line: support from the community.

It can be lonely starting a revolution. It was the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer who said all truth passes through three stages. First, is ridicule, then fierce opposition and, finally, acceptance. In our decade plus building the fueling network of tomorrow here at ChargePoint, we're triumphantly entering stage three. While it was clear to us from day one that e-mobility's time had come, we've endured our share of naysayers over the years. That's why it was so refreshing to meet the folks at Menkes Developments Ltd, who, like us, saw a green future and set about creating it. In fact, as we speak, the award-winning Canadian real estate firm is hard at work designing and building the sustainable workplaces of the future in Toronto—and ChargePoint's networked EV charging solutions are integral to that mission.
"Sustainability is about shifting the way we think, changing our habits and practices. As a part of our commitment to sustainability, Menkes Developments now has electric vehicle charging stations at all of our office towers. EV chargers were supported by the Ontario Government and our partners at ChargePoint. As leaders, we need to start thinking about how we will facilitate and support the necessary cultural change to meet the needs of the climate change effort." – Jon Douglas, Director of Sustainability, Menkes Developments Ltd.
Today, more than half of the earth's 7.3 billion people live in cities. By 2050, it will be over two-thirds. A rising population means greater strains on existing infrastructure, including more congestion on roadways and increased air and noise pollution. Toronto is preparing to meet tomorrow's challenges by building the sustainable workplaces of the future today. As a partner in that effort, Menkes knows it can't exemplify the city by replicating its past. That's why the company puts technology, sustainability and e-mobility at the center of its mission. For instance, the company's LEED Platinum Certified office towers include features such as raised floors to deliver cold air and radiant panels for warmth and, at all of its major sites and underground parking garages, ChargePoint EV charging solutions.
Besides the fact that the provincial government incentives picked up most of the costs, a big advantage of going with ChargePoint is that managers can utilize the dashboard and smart reporting features for the distinct needs of properties, residents and tenants, such as keeping track of unique drivers and charging sessions. For instance, because they know who is using the charging spots and when, the 25 York Street property managers were able to open up EV charging to the public during non-business hours – something EV drivers attending Maple Leaf and Raptors games at nearby Scotiabank Arena truly appreciate. "We like the ChargePoint stations because they meet all the government requirements, but they also include the things we wanted internally for best optimization," says Douglas. We're so happy to hear that and incredibly grateful for our partnership with Menkes. When you're transforming the world, it pays to have friends.

Brain Functional Network Biomarkers of Cognitive Impairment Transitions in Aging
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is most notably characterized by the presence of extracellular beta-amyloid plaques and tau proteins and its symptoms of dementia. Thus far there are no treatments to prevent the development of AD or stop its progression. Compounding the progress on therapeutic developments are elusive early-stage pre-AD biomarkers hidden within a span of decades before signs of cognitive impairment first appear. Because of these early-stage neurological biomarkers, network analysis of functional brain imaging data from participants at distinct stages of normal cognitive aging and cognitive decline, from mild to severe cognitive impairment, have been hypothesized to reveal unique pre-AD disease markers of progression. My research explores these biomarkers and the possibility of early diagnosis via identifiable biomarkers using an artificial intelligence (AI) approach. The overarching goal of my project is to determine which brain-wide and local regional measures of functional connectivity are significantly linked to specific stages of mild, moderate, and severe cognitive impairment. In applying a biomarker AI approach and network analysis, we expect that we can identify biomarkers effectively and hope to impact the future diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and apply this research to other neurodegenerative diseases in the future.

VIVRA turns two!
Happy birthday to us! It's been one big action-packed year for us as a team (co-founders Emily and Sarah) and we've had such a crazy journey that we thought we'd take a trip down memory lane with you all!
Throwback 1: Shark Tank
Early on in our journey together we got the chance to pitch in front of the Sharks in Sydney! You may have seen some of our throwback posts in light of this year's Queensland Small Business Week but in case you missed it, here's the recap. We made it to round three in the application process and both of us were flown down to Sydney to pitch in front of the Sharks. We were so mentally prepared for it - every question that could've been asked, we had rehearsed our answers over and over again (we're pretty sure we were saying it in our sleep!) and we also made sure that we looked our professional best.
In hindsight however, this meant that we weren't great for TV because we felt that we were a bit 'robotic' and didn't let our true personalities shine through. Fear of being humiliated on national television was very real and unfortunately we let it get the better of us. We were also just a bit too early on in our business. The take home feedback we received was, "You girls are great, the product is great, but you're just too early on". We got some invaluable advice from the Sharks and walked away with an amazing experience with each other which only further cemented our working relationship. Happy work wife means a happy work life!
Throwback 2: Photoshoots, Video Production and Website Facelift
The biggest challenge we have faced with our product is explaining how the VIVRA works. No matter how many times we may say that it's 'magnetic' and 'belt-less' the 'light bulb' moment doesn't go off because some people still don't understand how it attaches. It was therefore a no-brainer that we needed to have a professional video produced demonstrating how the VIVRA is attached and the many different situations that it can be used in. The videoshoot was filmed on 1 November 2016 and we still remember very clearly how exhausted we were after we completed the 20-plus hour day to capture everything we needed. So much thought had to go into timing and location - for example, we didn't want to miss the money-shot of the sunrise on the beach! We were definitely running on adrenaline and excitement and were stoked and quite emotional after seeing the finished results. It was definitely worth every drop of blood, sweat and tear!
Come April we knew we had to give our website a facelift, which meant professional product and modelling shots displaying the entire VIVRA range were a must. We were able to let our creative juices flow and we became stylists for the day, shopping up a storm to curate the perfect wardrobe to compliment our VIVRA range. So much goes on behind the scenes in the lead up to any sort of shoot: wardrobe, hair and makeup, choice of models, choice of photographer, types of poses to be achieved, location... the list goes on. Seeing it all come together was very satisfying and rewarding, particularly when it was just us (wearing one of our multiple hats), knowing that we've pulled it off all on our own! #startuplife #startupbudget
Throwback 3: Events and Activations
VIVRA has participated in many events but one that we particularly look back on with fond memories is when we activated at Australia's first Night Nation Run, held in Sydney. The weather gods weren't kind to us but we do as we always do, and that is to soldier on and make the best of every opportunity. It rained and it poured but we danced and we also got to go up on stage too! It was such a great experience because it was a great fit and the right audience for VIVRA. Rain or shine, dance or run, your VIVRA is there for you so you can be hands-free and bounce-free. What an experience!
Not long after returning from Sydney we headed up the coast where we activated for the first time at the Wanderlust Festival held at the Sunshine Coast. The vibe here was unlike any other we had ever experienced. It was very calming and cleansing and it was nice to just slow down the pace a bit. We now understood why Wanderlust is such a popular event to attend. The Wanderlust community is very kind and everybody wants to take care of everything and everyone else. To top it off we also met Sarah Holloway, the beautiful lady behind Spoonful of Sarah! She has been a girlboss that has been very inspirational to us.
Our most recent activation was at the ASICS Event Expo which was held in Sydney Town Hall for the three days leading up to the Blackmores Running Festival. This was the first major running expo VIVRA has participated in and wow, we went out with a bang! We were on our feet for over 12+ hours each day talking and demonstrating non-stop about how the VIVRA is the 'must have accessory' and by the end of the second day we had practically sold out of all of our stock. 'Unheard of' was the feedback we had received from other stall exhibitors. Runners from all over the globe were trying to get a VIVRA in their hot little hands and customers were begging to purchase the display stock! Needless to say it was an extremely successful event and the little flame in our bellies definitely grew stronger after the validation we received at this event.
Throwback 4: Talks and Inspirational Things
We love sharing our VIVRA journey, so any opportunities that arise that allow us to do this we seize with both hands. It is a reminder to Sarah and I of where we have been, where we are and where we are going. It is so rewarding walking away feeling like we have contributed to another's journey, hopefully by sparking the inspiration for them to start their own business or encourage them to keep on keeping on.
In April this year Sarah and I had the pleasure of speaking at one of the lovely Sarah Cross' Retreats @sarahjcross_official. Sarah is one of Australia's leading product based business experts. She has taught hundreds of creative product-based female entrepreneurs how to improve their marketing, retail sales, strategy and business growth plans. So as you can imagine, when we received the email inviting us to speak we felt very honoured.
We presented to a room of women who were all in the early stages of their business and shared stories about the VIVRA product development journey, obstacles and our future vision for VIVRA.
Another wonderful event which we thoroughly enjoyed presenting at was 'Dare to Dream', a one day program run by the beautiful soul @Kylielouise26 who is the grade eight coordinator at 'Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School'. Kylie was inspired to start this program due to the huge movement of female entrepreneurs. This speaking opportunity was absolutely one of a kind because we believed that it was amazing to have such a great initiative in high school. If only they had programs like this when were at school! We shared our journey with girls from grades 9-12, specifically delving into our tips for startup business and the five things we learnt from pitching to the Shark Tank.
Throwback 5: Telstra Business Awards Nomination
We've always been aware of the hype around the Telstra Business Awards and how it's acknowledgment of a business provides such credibility to the business. So we were of course absolutely thrilled to find out that we were nominated in the 'Emerging and Energised' category for 2018. The application process was extensive but the tough questions forced us to think long and hard about where we are and where we would like the business to go (very much like our experience when preparing for Shark Tank!). We were fortunate to make it to the second round where the application became more in-depth - our submission was nearly 10,000 words… the equivalent of a university thesis!
In the end we didn't make it to the finalist's round but what was so amazing was that we were provided with a comprehensive business benchmark report based on our personal application. We were elated to discover that we had made it into the top 10% of all businesses that entered the 2018 Telstra Business Awards in Queensland. Go us! The report highlighted where we were kicking goals, where we were sitting comfortably and areas that needed improvement. Even though we didn't walk away with a prize it was such an incredible experience to put our business under a microscope and take away so many valuable lessons.
Throwback 6: Mia Freedman endorsement
We couldn't believe it when Mia posted a video of our VIVRA on her @ladystartups page! To have recognition from the lady startup queen herself! What a thrill that was, and we honestly couldn't contain our excitement. Thank you Mia for your love and support - we are forever grateful.
Throwback 7: Katy Perry inspired Witness bum bag
Our dream turned into our biggest social campaign! Emily is a huge fan of the ever changing, ever growing Katy Perry and so when we found out she was touring Australia, along with a lot of other encounters and events, we decided to hop to action! We worked with beautiful Melbourne based designer, Tash @natashadeardenthelabel, and through a lot of designs, persistence and sketches later, we created the perfect samples of the Katy Perry inspired VIVRA!
To generate mass awareness we asked every single person we knew to help spread word of this bespoke VIVRA on their social media. While we knew that it was a long shot for Katy to notice being tagged in a picture we asked our ever supportive network and fans to re-post, re-share, comment and tag and we even managed to get the support of the beautiful Bianca Dye @biancadye from 973FM radio station to help champion our little campaign to get it to Katy. Katy, if you've got it, please know that we put every ounce of strength that we had into making this perfect little hands-free bum bag just for you!
Throwback 8: PR love!
We have ticked off quite a few accomplishments in our short time working together, but a particularly exciting moment was when we were interviewed for a piece in the Business section of The Courier Mail, which was syndicated across news.com.au and The Sydney Morning Herald, amongst other publications. Being interviewed was a whole new experience for us, but luckily reporter "Nina Hendy" was wonderful and made the whole process of telling our story so much fun.
In addition to that, we were also included as a gift feature in Marie Claire. Fancy that - an Australia-wide fashion magazine featuring our hands-free bumbag! Being featured in one of our favourite magazines, alongside other incredible and established brands, was a very humbling experience and we're still pinching ourselves!

Bayer Makes $65 Billion Bid for Monsanto
In a bid to create a global seeds and pesticides giant, Bayer is now offering $65 billion for Monsanto, or $127.50 a share.
The German company said it was in advanced talks with Monsanto, but warned there was no guarantee a deal would result.
Bayer's initial offer of $122 a share in May was rejected by Monsanto for being "financially inadequate".
The record all-cash offer valued the American company at $62 billion.
In July, Bayer raised its offer to $125 a share, but was again rebuffed.
Bayer and Monsanto combined would create the world's biggest agricultural supplier and be a market leader in the US, Europe and Asia.
The German company produces seeds as well as chemicals to combat weeds and insects, but it is better known for its healthcare products such as Aspirin and Alka-Seltzer.
The American company is primarily known for its genetically modified seeds for crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat and sugar cane. Such seeds have attracted criticism from some environmental activists.
The higher offer comes amid a wave of mergers in the agriculture sector.
Rivals including Dow Chemical, DuPont and Syngenta have all announced tie-ups recently, although some have yet to be cleared by regulators.
The drop in commodity prices has put pressure on companies such as Monsanto, with farmers' cutting orders for supplies.
However, a Bayer takeover of Monsanto could raise US competition concerns because of the sheer size of the combined company and the control it would have over the global seeds and sprays markets.
Farming groups have raised concerns that such mergers could lead to fewer choices and higher prices.
Insiders said that although the two companies were close to reaching an agreement on price, they had yet to agree on a strategy on how to deal with potential regulatory hurdles.
Bayer shares have fallen by close to a fifth this year and ended at €94.24 on September 5, valuing the company at €78 billion.
Monsanto has risen 9% since the start of the year and closed on September 2 at $107.44, making it worth just over $47 billion. Wall Street was closed on September 5 for the Labor Day holiday.
Bayer Makes $62 Billion Offer for Monsanto
German chemicals giant Bayer has made a $62 billion offer for American multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto, in a deal that would create the world's biggest agricultural supplier.
Both companies confirmed last week that Bayer had launched an offer for the US seeds giant.
Monsanto is primarily known for genetically modified crops, often leading to vocal activist criticism.
The offer comes amid a wave of mergers in the industry.
Rivals DuPont, Dow Chemical, and Syngenta have all announced tie-ups recently, although they have yet to be cleared by regulators.
Bayer said the offer of $122 per share represented a 37% premium on the price of Monsanto shares before rumors about the takeover bid emerged in the media.
When news about the takeover offer broke last week, Bayer shares took an 8% hit and a number of large Bayer investors voiced their criticism of the prospective deal.
Bayer has a market value of about $90 billion, making it the second-largest producer of crop chemicals after Syngenta.
Monsanto, which has a market capitalization of $42 billion, attempted to buy Swiss rival Syngenta in 2015.
However, Syngenta ended up accepting a $43 billion offer from ChemChina in February, although that deal is still being reviewed by regulators in the US.
Bayer's acquisition of Monsanto is expected to be bigger in value than the ChemChina-Syngenta deal.
The biggest merger in the chemicals industry took place late last year when Dow Chemical teamed up with Du Pont to form a new $130 billion company.
Bayer buys Merck's consumer care business for $14.2 billion
Bayer has agreed to pay $14.2 billion to buy rival Merck's consumer care business.
The German pharmaceutical company said buying the division, which makes Coppertone sun care products, Dr. Scholl's foot health and allergy brand Claritin, was "a major milestone".
Bayer said Merck would separately pay it $1 billion in a co-development deal over heart failure drugs.
Merck's consumer care division makes Coppertone sun care products, Dr. Scholl's foot health and allergy brand Claritin
It said the deal would help it develop sales outside the US.
Bayer also expects to become the second largest player in non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC) products as a result of the acquisition.
"With this transaction, we are acquiring leading product brands," said Bayer HealthCare boss Olivier Brandicourt.
Bayer said it expected the integration of the two businesses to generate significant cost savings of around $200 million per year by 2017.
Bayer also said increasing its commercial presence and rolling out Merck's brands globally would amount to an additional $400 million in revenues per year by 2017.

Q: Java - Trouble reading CSV to Array I'm trying to read a .csv file to an array, and then parse the row on commas, to pull out specific numbers from my file. I'm not getting any errors, and the program runs fine, however it won't let me pull from anything other than thisLine[0]. There should be 3 elements in the line.
The csv looks something like this:

This Spinal Stabilization & Mobilization System focuses on the treatment and regeneration of the spine based on the knowledge of muscle chaining. Chains that begin at the shoulders and neck, spiral & meander around the torso moving to the lower limbs, feet and toes.
If this muscle chaining in the body is working correctly, it will provide a balanced & upright posture, will bear the body's load symmetrically and will have the correct size of intervertebral spaces. In this ideal environment back pain, irritation of nerves arising from the spinal column or worse, slipped disc. Exercise SM system strengthens and balances the overall attitude (posture) of the body, relieves meziobratlovým plate and radically reduces discomfort. With regular exercise, the harmonization of muscle tension which leads to significant pain relief during either already incurred viewport intervertebral disc or other spinal pain and musculoskeletal system.
Exercise SM system allows the body to return to the natural functioning of the muscular apparatus of the entire musculoskeletal system. The effect of exercise is reflected not only by disappearing back pain, but also the joints. If the muscles are tightened around the joints, in the large voltage, pull the joints from the correct position. In this the wrong position then more wear of articular cartilage and gradually other painful changes.
Many people unfortunately think that will be enough exercise just for the pain to disappear, and then they can go back to the same (mostly sedentary) lifestyle. But our body is designed to move. Long sessions (static load) it always has a negative effect.
Other extreme, heavy duty, mostly one-sided sport (tennis, golf and other …) or monotonous work (all day standing or sitting). This overload is needed to compensate for regular exercise. SM system assembly consists of 12 basic exercises that can be developed further and focus on your problem areas. Exercise is simple, suitable for all ages from school age. The exercise you need flexible rope with good and firm attachment (preferably wall bars), bit of space and you can get to taste the exercise.
I have been studying Pilates with Veronika and I have lost several inches, my posture is better, my hip doesn't hurt and I feel like I have learned not only how to breathe better, but also to BE better. Thank you Veronika!
I broke my arm one year ago. After removing the brace I couldn't lift my arm more than 10 cm. Fortunately Veronika was my physiotherapist. By using different techniques such as mobilization, exercises and massage she accomplished the almost impossible- I have full range of motion of my arm now, with no limitation and no pain.
I really appreciate her very kind and optimistic approach to her patients. I now regularly take Veronika's professionally managed Pilates classes and I look forward to each lesson.
Veronika is great, she has golden hands! I do physiotherapy with her because of my sore back, and I feel great after every exercise. I also take Pilates classes with Veronika, they are super and I look forward to each class every week, my back doesn't hurt anymore and I feel perfect. I recommend her.

The mail bag: stadium news, etc.
After a longer-than-expected hiatus due to "technical difficulties beyond my control,"
I have returned to cyberspace. (Cue Gen. MacArthur.) Leading off in my mail bag, as usual, is Mike Zurawski, who has a huge volume of news to share about baseball stadiums as well as baseball-related football stadiums.
In Chicago, they are removing the unsightly concrete exterior on the south (first base) side of Wrigley Field. The renovation is scheduled to be completed in 2014, the centennial of the beloved historic ballpark. See baseball-fever.com. (Bruce Orser brought the same item to my attention.) Well, it's about time! The exterior at Wrigley Field has never received as much attention as it should have. They are also renovating the iconic scoreboard, with the huge painted "Cubs" pennant on the back, and it is currently enclosed by scaffolding on the rear (street) side. See bleedcubbieblue.com.
In The Bronx, the escalator "pod" in left field of Yankee Stadium is being torn down. Frankly, I'm surprised they aren't making more progress in bringing the whole thing down. Opening Day is only eight weeks away! See baseball-fever.com.
In Toronto, they are getting ready to install new artificial turf at Rogers Centre. The existing playing surface, which looks like a parquet floor because of the heavy seams between the small square sections, was installed in 2005. Hopefully, the new surface will look less fake. See nationalpost.com.
In Fremont (located in California, for you folks in Rio Linda ), hopes are rising once again that the Oakland Athletics may yet build a stadium in their city. It would be built on the site of the soon-to-be-closed Nummi automobile plant (a joint venture of two ill-fated corporations, Toyota and GM), fairly close to a new BART station. Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman is promoting the idea, and they recently held a public rally to support bring the A's to town. See ktvu.com. I'm still skeptical of Fremont, and I'm sure that the San Jose alternative site is lucrative enough that they could pay off the Giants for their "territorial rights."
In Portland, PGE park is being converted into a soccer stadium, at a cost of 31 million dollars. That means it will be less baseball-friendly than before, which makes the idea of using it as a temporary venue for a possibly MLB expansion franchise less likely. The Beavers minor league (AAA) franchise may even leave Portland. See bizjournals.com.
On the north side of Miami, where Super Bowl XLIV is about to be held, people are objecting to the proposed use of public funds to put a roof on Joe Robbie / Pro Player / Dolphins / Dolphin / Land Shark / Sun Life Stadium. See fieldofschemes.com, which notes that they would have to host the Super Bowl for the next 20 years in a row to make money on the deal. As for the stadium itself, "[T]he blueprint includes tearing out the lower bowl of the stadium to add 3,000 prime seats and moving the spectator area closer to the field." See miamiherald.com.
It's a similar problem faced by the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium, whose lower seating bowl is too low for many fans to see the field. Chargers will remain in San Diego for a least another season, as they try to put pressure on the city to build them a new stadium. They still might move back to their original home in L.A., however. See nctimes.com.
In Minnesota, there is talk of using Federal government "stimulus" funds ("Build America Bonds") to build a new football stadium for the Vikings in the suburbs. The town of Dayton, in western Hennepin County, is a leading candidate. Governor Pawlenty has suggested using the lottery to pay for such a stadium. See startribune.com and startribune.com. I still think the Vikings and the Chargers can afford to wait another few years at least.
In East Rutherford, New Jersey, demolition of Giants Stadium has started, and it should be complete by late May, when the new stadium will be inaugurated with a Bon Jovi concert. Will someone find Jimmy Hoffa's remains in one of the concrete slabs? See associatedcontent.com.
Thanks as always to Mike for keeping me "on my toes," and for keeping all of us better informed.
And, in other mail...
Bruce Orser sent me some newspaper archives and other very useful historical information about Griffith Stadium, old Yankee Stadium, and even Washington Park in Brooklyn. Major league thanks are due to Bruce as well.
Wes Kahn wrote to ask me some probing questions about various old ballparks: "First, let me pay you the highest compliments one can give for producing without a doubt the best ballpark website in the world. Your diagrams have supplied countless hours of hot stove entertainment for several years." I certainly appreciate the kind sentiments, and will try my best to address the questions he raises.
Mike Wagner is nearly finished writing a book about Yankee Stadium (to be called Babe's Place), and wanted authoritative numbers on the early dimensions for it, so I was happy to oblige.
Chris Moffatt reminded me that I needed to do update the Anomalous stadiums page to include Champion Stadium, where the Tampa Bay Devil Rays played a few games a couple years ago. Done! I also need to do a diagram for it, however. Stephen Poppe never fails to remind of that nagging "chore."
John Grace sent me a link to a page with some great photos of Safeco Field being used for football, as well as for soccer: ysbp.com. It looks familiar, and I may have seen that before.
Finally, a note from Hugh Harris that arrived today: "Just found your site. As a lover of old baseball stadiums, I want to thank you for the wonderful site!!!!"

California's plot to avoid the new tax cap wins…
California's plot to avoid the new tax cap wins key vote
By Katy Murphy | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: January 30, 2018 at 2:14 p.m. | UPDATED: January 31, 2018 at 3:29 a.m.
SACRAMENTO — A closely watched proposal to skirt the new federal cap on state and local tax deductions by allowing Californians to instead donate to the state is hurtling through the Legislature, winning a key vote Tuesday.
The bill, introduced just this month, cleared the California Senate 27-7 with support from Republicans Anthony Cannella and Scott Wilk and moves next to the Assembly. Senate leader Kevin de León — who has resisted the Trump administration's policies on multiple fronts during the past year — says he is determined to protect Californians from what he has called a "mean-spirited policy" targeting the state.
"The new Republican tax law deliberately targets Americans in blue states that didn't vote for Donald Trump, and it could cost Californians billions of dollars," said De León, D-Los Angeles, who is also a candidate for U.S. Senate. "SB 227 gives Californians a measure of control over their tax dollars and helps fund vital public services like schools and parks."
The $10,000 cap added to the federal tax code last year — as part of sweeping changes that also doubled the standard deduction and dramatically lowered the tax rates for corporations — is highly unpopular in California and other high-tax states. The average state and local tax deduction for Californians who itemized in 2015 was over $18,400, according to the state Department of Finance. The new federal law caps that deduction at $10,000, considerably less than the previous amount.
Senate Bill 227 aims to give millions of Californians who itemize an 85 percent tax credit on their personal income taxes in exchange for a contribution to a new California Excellence Fund. Charitable donations were not affected by the GOP tax overhaul.
The proposal was crafted with guidance from tax scholars who note that states have long given tax credits in exchange for donations to state funds for causes such as private school vouchers and environmental easements.
De León originally proposed a 100 percent tax credit for contributions, but amid concerns that a dollar-for-dollar tax break could more easily be challenged by the IRS, the proposal was amended to scale back the benefit to 85 percent of a donation.

Whether it would fly with the feds is an open question. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin called the idea "ridiculous" at a White House press briefing earlier this month.
"I don't want to speculate on what people will do," Mnuchin told reporters, "but I think it's one of the more ridiculous comments to think you can take a real estate tax that you are required to make and dress that up as a charitable contribution."

Purpose: To compare how retinas use different types of fuels for energy metabolism and to compare the fuel preferences of retinas and other types of neurons.
Methods: Mouse retina, cerebellum, hippocampus and olfactory bulb were isolated and cultured in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate (KRB) buffer. The retina and other neurons were incubated with 5 mM of a variety of 13C labeled fuel sources. Rat retinas were isolated and incubated in KRB buffer and sectioned at 50 micron thickness. Metabolites from both the tissue and the medium were extracted and measured by GC-MS. Results were corrected for the natural abundance of isotopes. The overall enrichment and the distribution of labeled carbons in each metabolite were calculated.
Results: Retinas converted glucose to lactate and pyruvate and released them into the medium ~4 times higher than other neurons. Unlike other neurons retinas did not release glutamate. Retina had the highest rate of 13C enrichment of the mitochondrial TCA cycle intermediates from glucose among all the neurons. By incubating retinas and other neurons with the same concentration of 13C glucose, 13C glutamine, 13C pyruvate or 13C lactate for 2 hours, we found the 13C glutamine produced the highest 13C enrichment of succinate, fumarate and malate. In the retina, glutamine robustly competed with glucose for enrichment of all mitochondrial intermediates except citrate. By incubating with 12C glucose together with 13C glutamine, we found that retinas had the highest rate of 13C enrichment in mitochondrial intermediates of all the types of neurons we tested. Furthermore, rat retina sections showed that glutamine labeling was localized primarily in the mitochondrial intermediates in the photoreceptor layer.
Conclusions: The retina has much higher metabolic rate from both glucose and glutamine than other neurons. The retina, particularly the photoreceptor layer, selectively uses glutamine over glucose, pyruvate and lactate to fuel mitochondria.


It's amazing to see the transformation and how it applies to our involvement in Social Media.
Our daughter just turned 16 and went to get her driver's license. She was very nervous and somewhat stressed out at the thought of "a test". So she set her sights on the prize at the other end (her license), took the test, and passed!
If we take a look back at what it was like for her before she even had her learner's license, it was something like this… she was dependent on her parents, brothers, friends' parents, the transit system or her feet to get her where she wanted to go. The amount of times she could get out and socialize was limited. Her circle of influence (her friends and social life) was in turn, limited.
Just like in Social Media… we start out on Twitter, Facebook, etc. with a few followers and friends, but we don't really have the knowledge, tools and confidence to really spread our social networking reach. At least, not yet.
Then came the learner's license… more responsibility and two years of learning and building confidence. Yes, she still had to have someone in the car with her, but her influence with us, her parents, was higher as we wanted her to have as much exposure to driving as possible so that she would have the skills and confidence to get her driver's license at the end of it all. As well, the learner's license made it possible for her to take driver training… an opportunity to get the additional knowledge and confidence to reach her goal.
It's quite amazing how this works in Social Media too… once we get in and get involved, the number of people who are willing to help out and the tools we get introduced to that help in growing our circle of influence starts to grow. This also builds confidence in using social networking as a tool to reach people, build relationships and spread our message.
Now the driver's license! Freedom, responsibility, but not yet mastery. Yes, she can drive on her own, but her experience is still quite limited, her license has restrictions and she is still used to someone sitting next to her giving her guidance and encouragement. However, now that her dependence on others is lifted, she is able to get out more often, spend time with her friends and grow her relationships.
Next step… the full-fledged driver's license. Restrictions are lifted but the experience and knowledge required to get here are much greater. This can't happen for another two years of driving on her own inside the imposed restrictions and gaining more knowledge and confidence.
In Social Media, our "expert" status comes when we have created a community around us with the solid relationships we have been building and maintaining. As well, our circle of influence expands exponentially as our content and message is spread across the social network through the communities of those we've built the relationships with.
I like the analogy of social media being like a driver's license. It is important to get to know the rules of social media. Each site has its own nuances, much like driving in Australia is different than North America or Europe.
You two have taught me so much about social media, from your encouragement when I first got on Twitter, to the latest WordPress plugins and neat ways to do videos. Thanks for the great work you do, and even better, for sharing it with us!
.-= Jacqueline Green´s last blog ..What Do Your Children Really Need, and Want, Even if They Won't Admit it? =-.
We have also learned very much from you about putting ourselves out there and teaching what we do best. One of those being Managing Social Media, Information and Knowledge. Thank you for your encouragement and for seeing what we do well.
I guess this shows the power of the Tribes and friendships, as they see what you are good at, before you do.
This is such a great comparison! It puts a lot into perspective and allows us to appreciate our "training wheels" knowing that social media is a learning process. Since it is continuously changing, sometimes we'll be the driver coaching others and sometimes we will be the person with the learner's permit being guided. Thanks!
.-= Kelly Rudolph´s last blog ..PWR Fit 2010 =-.
That is so true about the different roles we take in social media… the coach and the learner. We just have to remember that it's ok not to know it all and that others are willing to help… especially inside a close-knit tribe.
This so exactly describes the process that I've been going through in learning how to use social media tools. Just like the beginning driver, I've been concentrating so hard on mastering the technology, that I'm only now beginning to see the big picture and to enjoy the people and the relationships – the true benefits of "getting my license to drive" social media. This is a wonderful article that I'd like to share with people who have suddenly found that they need to reinvent their work and their income. Thanks, Pat and Lorna!

It is quite amazing how much clearer we can see the "big picture" when the small stuff becomes second nature. And there is such a huge amount of guidance and support out there when we are just learners… especially inside a tribe. Thank you for sharing!
This is a lovely wonderful article and I love the analogy of social media being like a driver's license. Thanks, Pat and Lorna!
