Orchestra, ensemble of musical instruments; in the narrowest sense, the characteristic ensemble of Western music, having as its core a group of bowed stringed instruments of the violin family, augmented by woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. Orchestra can also refer to various specialised ensembles, such as a balalaika orchestra, a jazz orchestra, or a gamelan (the tuned-percussion orchestra used in Indonesian Music). The word orchestra originally signified the section in ancient Greek theatres between the stage and the audience that was used by dancers and instrumentalists. In a modern theatre the part of the auditorium reserved for musicians is called the orchestra pit.
The string section, which forms the backbone of orchestral sound, is divided into five parts: first violins, second violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. The double basses sometimes duplicate the cello part an octave lower, but often the music calls for an independent bass part. The number of players in a modern orchestra can vary from about two dozen or fewer to well over 100. Of these, the woodwind and brass sections each constitute about 10 to 20 per cent of the orchestra, and the percussion about 10 per cent. For the strings, certain proportions have proved to give the most effective balance of sound; an orchestra with 20 first violins is likely to have about 18 to 20 second violins, 14 violas, 12 cellos, and 8 double basses; these numbers may vary, but they are considered representative.
The woodwind and brass sections, unlike the strings, normally have only one player per part. Until the mid-19th century, the woodwind section consisted of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, and two bassoons (a formation known as double wind); the two members of each pair played different musical parts. By the late 19th century three of each instrument was common (triple wind), with the third player sometimes switching to a related instrument (for example, Cor Anglais, piccolo, double bassoon, bass clarinet). The brass section, in its fully developed form, typically consists of four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, and a tuba. These are sometimes augmented by other brass instruments, such as the bass trombone or the Wagner tuba designed by the German composer Richard Wagner and used in his scores. The percussion section, in addition to one player who plays only the timpani, has traditionally emloyed one or two players, each of whom covers several instruments. The basic percussion group up to the mid-19th century consisted of a side drum (snare drum), a bass drum, cymbals, and a triangle. In the 20th century, however, works employing ten or more players and dozens of different instruments have become common, while the total number of percussion instruments in use has grown into the hundreds. In addition to these four groups (bowed string, woodwind, brass, and percussion), most orchestras also have a harp and a piano.
The seating of the orchestra is determined by the conductor, who directs the orchestra in performance. The first and second violins are usually placed to the left of the conductor, the violas, cellos, and basses to the right (a common variation is for the first and second violins to face each other on opposite sides of the conductor). The woodwind and brass are in front of the conductor but behind the strings, and the percussion are placed farthest back.
Opera and ballet orchestras share with symphony orchestras the size and structure described above; they differ in their ancestry and function. The symphony orchestra performs symphonies, concertos, and other concert music and is normally placed on a stage. Opera and ballet orchestras are part of theatrical performances and are seated in the orchestra pit of a theatre (a space in front of and partly underneath the stage). A chamber orchestra is one consisting usually of 25 or fewer players. Virtually all orchestras before 1800 were of this size, and many 20th-century composers call for chamber orchestras. A string orchestra, which may be of chamber-orchestra size or may be quite large, consists of the standard orchestral string section, with no added wind or percussion instruments.
The development and standardisation of the modern orchestra took place between about 1600 and about 1750. In the first major opera, Orfeo (1607), the Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi used an orchestra having a central string section augmented by other instruments and bound together harmonically by basso continuo (bass melody instrument, such as cello or bassoon, plus harmonic support from harpsichord or organ). During the 1600s, orchestras became common not only in opera performances but as ensembles maintained by aristocratic families for private concerts. By the early 18th century the combination of first and second violins, violas, cellos, and double basses had become standard for the strings; and a pair of oboes or flutes or both and a bassoon were usually added. A harpsichord or an organ normally supplied chords for the basso continuo part. The newly invented clarinet was added to the orchestra about the middle of the 18th century, and pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons became common. The coiled hunting horn also entered the orchestra, used to evoke an atmosphere of the hunt and to give added volume and richness. Trumpets and timpani, previously the prerogative of the nobility, were sometimes used when an opera or cantata text alluded to royalty; later, trumpets were added for brilliance. Trombones, used for centuries in church music and municipal bands, entered the opera orchestra in the late 18th century and the symphony orchestra in the early 19th century. In the late 18th century the basso continuo fell out of use and the keyboard instruments dropped out. A vogue for imitating Turkish military music introduced the triangle, cymbals, and bass drum. The tuba entered the orchestra only in the 19th century, a result of technological experimenting with brass instruments. Its predecessors had been the serpent (an S-shaped wooden horn with fingerholes) and the ophicleide (keyed bass bugle). Until the late 18th century, orchestras tended to have 20-30 members. During the lifetime of Ludwig van Beethoven the size increased to 30 to 40 players. As 19th-century composers sought new, dramatic ways to express themselves in music, orchestras became larger and by the early 20th century about 100 players was considered optimal.

Electronic citation technology helping small police departments
Patty Santos
A piece of technology that helps write a ticket faster and takes a picture of the person being arrested helped Union City police officers catch an identity thief.
Small police departments are relying on multiple layers of technology to help them eliminate mistakes and protect victims.This week, Union City Police Chief Richard Stephens said one particular device is paying off for his department.In July, one of his police officers made a routine traffic stop, but the driver was not carrying a driver's license and gave him conflicting information about her identity."He took several minutes to determine what her actual date of birth was and what she wanted to stick with," Stephens said. "He finally found a driver's license with that name and date of birth. They processed her citations for that day."The officer used a DigiTICKET machine to write the ticket, which also captured the woman's picture."One of the biggest benefits, in my opinion, in using an electronic citation like this is at the time of the stop, we capture an image of the driver so we can prove who was in the car at the time," Stephens said.Union City rents four of the devices for about $900 a month.The company that makes the devices is based in Tulsa and has about 50 agencies around the state that use them.Stephens said his investment paid off.About a month after that traffic stop, warrants were issued for the unpaid tickets and a letter was sent out.The woman's sister showed up telling police she did not get that ticket."She said my sister has done this to me before," Stephens said, explaining the suspect used her sister's identity to avoid being arrested.A quick check of the photo associated with the ticket cleared her."To me, one of the most important things is it was able to clear this lady up she didn't have warrants to take care of. Her driver's license isn't being suspended," Stephens said.The suspect in the traffic stop has been identified as Laquita Poncho, 40.She faces multiple counts, including fraud. A warrant is being issued for her arrest.Other agencies that use DigiTICKET around the metro include Piedmont, Newcastle, Bethany, Guthrie, Chickasha, Tuttle, Blanchard, Minco and Ninnekah.Stephens said the use of the device allows officers to give out tickets in about three minutes versus the traditional method, which takes up to 10 minutes.
UNION CITY, Okla. —
Small police departments are relying on multiple layers of technology to help them eliminate mistakes and protect victims.
This week, Union City Police Chief Richard Stephens said one particular device is paying off for his department.
In July, one of his police officers made a routine traffic stop, but the driver was not carrying a driver's license and gave him conflicting information about her identity.
"He took several minutes to determine what her actual date of birth was and what she wanted to stick with," Stephens said. "He finally found a driver's license with that name and date of birth. They processed her citations for that day."
The officer used a DigiTICKET machine to write the ticket, which also captured the woman's picture.
"One of the biggest benefits, in my opinion, in using an electronic citation like this is at the time of the stop, we capture an image of the driver so we can prove who was in the car at the time," Stephens said.
Union City rents four of the devices for about $900 a month.
The company that makes the devices is based in Tulsa and has about 50 agencies around the state that use them.
Stephens said his investment paid off.
About a month after that traffic stop, warrants were issued for the unpaid tickets and a letter was sent out.
The woman's sister showed up telling police she did not get that ticket.
"She said my sister has done this to me before," Stephens said, explaining the suspect used her sister's identity to avoid being arrested.
A quick check of the photo associated with the ticket cleared her.
"To me, one of the most important things is it was able to clear this lady up she didn't have warrants to take care of. Her driver's license isn't being suspended," Stephens said.
The suspect in the traffic stop has been identified as Laquita Poncho, 40.
She faces multiple counts, including fraud. A warrant is being issued for her arrest.
Other agencies that use DigiTICKET around the metro include Piedmont, Newcastle, Bethany, Guthrie, Chickasha, Tuttle, Blanchard, Minco and Ninnekah.
Stephens said the use of the device allows officers to give out tickets in about three minutes versus the traditional method, which takes up to 10 minutes.

"Katya Bloom is 'bilingual', fluent in the languages of body and mind.
The Embodied Self, explores the language of emotion as manifested in the body... [This book] teaches us grammar, and we become adept at speaking with our bodies and our minds in the art and science of healing."
"Bloom has achieved a three dimensional work that includes inviting conscious shifts into the reader's bodily experience while reading. In describing her patient-therapist interactions with such artistry, Bloom enables us to live the experience and achieve embodied knowledge."
"Katya Bloom beautifully describes ways of sinking into the body-self to discover the most painful, repressed and neglected layers of the infantile psyche. This highly recommended book is essential reading for therapists and hospital professionals who need to develop more comprehensive understanding of the often neglected primitive spontaneous gestures of the body-self which are not yet able to be put into verbal dialogues."
"Central to her approach is how she works with the somatic counter-transference which she also refers to as 'embodied attentiveness'. The working through of conflicts deeply rooted in body-based processes in early childhood helped the patients to transform their internal worlds and their interpersonal relationships."
"She seems able to 'listen' to her patients' movements and words without one modality being valued above another. By synthesising the two aspects of the human being, body and psyche, it presents not only new thinking, but also deeper understanding of the therapeutic process."
"The content [of The Embodied Self] is complex, rich, and potentially challenging to current ways of clinical thinking."
"The Embodied Self is most surely the book Dance and Movement Psychotherapists have all been waiting for. Never before have the strands of free association in movement and the theory of psychoanalysis been brought together in quite this imaginative way or articulated with such clarity."
"Bloom's book is highly recommended for dance/movement therapists, body psychotherapists, authentic movement practitioners and clinicians who respect and value the place of body and movement in the psychotherapeutic encounter... Bloom's work opens new pathways for cross-fertilization..."
"This book should be required reading for students in psychoanalytic training as well as for those being trained in somatic and movement therapy."
"Bloom's book takes the reader into a fascinating exploration of how the language of movement can enhance therapy for both infants and adults…. Bloom's work on transference will significantly advance the understanding of the therapeutic community in these areas and is a worthy addition to the field."

Q: What kind of board does an XMC network card fit in? I'm looking at 10GbE network cards, and most of what I find are XMC format, like the XPort3300 (just an example). I'm trying to understand how these cards fit on a board. I'm very new to low-level hardware, so it's very confusing for me.
Will these kinds of cards fit on a standard motherboard, like in a desktop PC? Do they require something specific?
If it helps, I'm more interested in Intel, rack-mounted systems.

A: They won't fit normally, so cards like this are put into standard motherboard computers via adapters into the PCI-E slot.
Link.
I couldn't tell you the cost of the adapter, however.

Annotate this Case
1943 OK 60
192 Okla. 153
Case Number: 30488
Decided: 03/02/1943
Supreme Court of Oklahoma
C. L. MCMAHON, Inc.,
LENTZ
¶0 1. WATERS AND WATERCOURSES -- Action for damages caused by oil and salt water pollution -- Erroneous instruction that violation of statute is "actionable" negligence.
An instruction in an action for damages to livestock caused by the pollution of a stream by oil and salt water, which quotes the language of 52 Okla. Stat. Ann. § 296, and instructs the jury that a violation thereof is "actionable" negligence, is erroneous. McMahon, Inc., v. Smith, 189 Okla. 579, 118 P.2d 1022.
2. APPEAL AND ERROR--Error in instruction cured by other instructions.
A cause will not be reversed for an error in an instruction which is cured by other instructions, and from which error no prejudice is shown to have resulted. McMahon, Inc., v. Smith, 189 Okla. 579, 118 P.2d 1022.
3. OIL AND GAS--Action for damages allegedly caused by violation penal statute--Extent of care exercised by defendant and extent of violation not proper issues.
In an action to recover damages alleged to have been sustained as the result of the violation of a penal statute the issues to be determined are whether there has been a violation of the statute, and if so, whether damage has resulted therefrom. The extent of care exercised by the defendant and the extent which the statute has been violated are not proper issues and therefore instructions which request that they be submitted to the jury are properly refused.
Appeal from District Court, Okfuskee County; Arthur Cochran, Judge.
Action by Tollie Lentz against C. L. McMahon, Inc., to recover damages to livestock and water supply alleged to have been sustained as a result of the violation of the statute relating to disposition of salt water. Plaintiff had judgment, and defendant appeals. Affirmed.
Thos. H. Wren, of Okemah, for plaintiff in error.
Stephenson & Stephenson, of Okemah, and John Morrison, of Oklahoma City, for defendant in error.
PER CURIAM.
¶1 This action was instituted by the defendant in error, hereinafter referred to as plaintiff, against the plaintiff in error, hereinafter referred to as defendant, to recover damages alleged to have been caused to livestock and domestic water supply by the pollution of a stream with salt water. The defendant denied liability and by plea in confession and avoidance alleged that it had exercised every effort to prevent the escape of salt water from its premises, and that if any salt water had escaped, it had done so despite the best efforts of the defendant to prevent it. Upon the issues so drawn, trial was had to a jury. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and assessed his recovery at the sum of $ 400. The defendant appeals from the judgment rendered on the verdict.
¶2 The sole grounds urged for reversal are error in giving instruction No. 4 and in refusing to give four requested instructions.
¶3 The instruction given and concerning which defendant complains is identical with an instruction which this defendant had us review in C. L. McMahon, Inc., v. Smith, 189 Okla. 579, 118 P.2d 1022. In that case we pointed out that the instruction was technically inaccurate, but that it was cured by other instructions given by the court. The same situation obtains in the case at bar. The court by other instructions fully apprised the jury of the necessity of plaintiff proving that his injury had resulted from the act of the defendant in permitting the salt water to escape from its wells in violation of the statute (52 O. S. 1941 § 296) before he could recover.
¶4 The requested instructions were to the effect that if the defendant was proceeding in the exercise of due care, it would not be liable to the plaintiff for damages which had occurred as the result of violation of the statute. Such instructions were not proper. The statute is a penal one and a violation thereof renders the offender liable for all damages proximately caused thereby. Texas Co. v. Mosshamer, 175 Okla. 202, 51 P.2d 757; Owen-Osage Oil & Gas Co. v. Long, 104 Okla. 242, 231 P. 296; Comanche Drilling Co. v. Shamrock Oil Co., 122 Okla. 253, 254 P. 20. In an action to recover damages for a violation of the statute the issues drawn are whether the statute has been violated, and, if so, whether damage has proximately resulted therefrom, and the degree of care exercised and the extent to which the statute has been violated are not in issue. The instructions requested by the defendant which sought to inject these collateral issues into the case were properly refused. The rules stated in Pure Oil Co. v. Gear, 183 Okla. 489, 83 P.2d 389, relied on by defendant, are not applicable, since it is not contended that the salt water did not escape, nor did the injury to the plaintiff's livestock occur on the land from which the salt water was produced and in close proximity to the wells producing salt water as in the Gear Case.
¶5 Affirmed.
¶6 CORN, C. J., GIBSON, V. C. J., and WELCH, HURST, DAVISON, and ARNOLD, JJ., concur. RILEY, OSBORN, and BAYLESS, JJ., absent.

Ceremony to present the 2021 ELKH academic awards
The Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) Secretariat has established the Eötvös Loránd Research Network Prize and the Róbert Bárány Prize applicable to young researchers to recognize outstanding academic performance within the network. In addition, it has also launched the distribution of the title of Research Professor Emeritus. The 2021 ELKH Award Ceremony was held at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences on November 9 as part of the "Celebration of the Hungarian Science" program of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
"It is important to identify the areas in which we have the capabilities, skills and resources to achieve outstanding results at an international level, while also contributing to the development of Hungarian science and the country. Dedicated, talented researchers play a vital role in helping us achieving our goals. We need to provide adequate research conditions, moral and financial recognition to retain them, and also to encourage those living abroad to return home. The establishment and distribution of the awards and titles presented today also serve this purpose," emphasized Professor Miklós Maróth, President of ELKH.
Professor Tamás Freund, President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and József Bódis, Secretary of State for Higher Education, Innovation and Vocational Training have also addressed the audience at the Award Ceremony.
After the Award Ceremony Professor José R. Calvo, Strategic Advisor at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, President of the Institute of International Relations of the Royal European Academy of Doctors, and Professor Pál Fodor, turkologist, historian, Doctor of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, winner of the 2021 ELKH Prize, gave presentations.
Eötvös Loránd Research Network Prize
The purpose of establishing and presenting the Eötvös Loránd Research Network Prize (ELKH Prize) is primarily to offer moral and financial recognition to researchers belonging to the network for their outstanding professional work. The award is presented annually to a researcher who enjoys widespread appreciation in the scientific community at home and abroad, has an exceptional professional career, has achieved outstanding scientific performance, notable research results or patents.
In 2021 the ELKH Prize was awarded to Professor Pál Fodor, turkologist, historian, Doctor of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Pál Fodor was the Director General of the ELKH Research Centre for the Humanities (BTK) from 2012 to 2021 and is currently the honorary Director General of BTK. He is also Scientific Advisor at the Institute of History of BTK and Head of the Institute's Medieval Department. He has been an active participant and shaper of both Hungarian and international scientific life for more than four decades.
His publications on many topics are also diverse in genre, ranging from large monographs to analytical studies, large-scale essays and extensive source publications. The approximately 20 volumes edited by him, mostly published by international publishers, have been invaluable to the presence and recognition of Hungarian historical science on an international level. He has been the leader of several research projects, the most important of which are the projects related to the siege of Szigetvár and the grave of Sultan Suleiman, as well as the battle of Mohács and its aftermath. The publications released in connection with these topics are among the most significant results of research into early modern Hungarian history.
His research, which has also received international recognition, has reinvigorated the study of the history of the Ottoman Empire in several ways. His most-acclaimed work in the academic world is an English-language monograph exploring the 17th-century changes in the administration and financial administration of the Ottoman Empire and the background to these changes. The work is undoubtedly one of the most significant individual achievements in international Ottoman research in recent decades.
With his modest but always determined and purposeful approach, Pál Fodor personifies the model image of Hungarian science, in which the unwavering commitment to universal Hungarian culture and spiritual history is coupled with a genuinely deep humanity and humility towards human values.
Róbert Bárány Prize
The purpose of establishing and awarding the Róbert Bárány Prize is to recognize the outstanding scientific work of young researchers under the age of 35 working in the ELKH network. In order to win the prize, applicants are invited to submit a project of significant scientific merit with findings achieved through individual work, such as a patent, an invention, a book, an article or series of articles, independent research findings or partial findings, or a doctoral dissertation in the social sciences.
2021 winners of the Róbert Bárány Prize:
Márton Gáspár Bojtár – Research Centre for Natural Sciences
Title of his award application: "Conditionally Activatable Visible-Light Photocages"
In his dissertation, the researcher demonstrated the development and application of a new dual-control photochemical system on visible light-sensitive blocking groups. By using light-activatable substances, it may be possible to administer chemotherapeutic agents more efficiently and selectively to reduce side effects. This means the results achieved are also notable in terms of their social significance.
Marietta Kaskötő-Buka – Research Centre for the Humanities
Title of her award application: "Musica Sacra Hungariae: The History of Cecilianism in Hungary from 1897 to 1950"
In her doctoral dissertation submitted for the application, the researcher examines the history of music in Hungary in the first half of the last century from a new perspective. The work sheds light on the direct impact of the Cecilian Movement from Bavaria on Hungarian church music reform efforts, reconstructs the appearance and unfolding of reforms in Hungary, and examines church and press history and the stylistic and aesthetic aspects of the new church music repertoire.
Eszter Draskóczy – ELKH supported research group, MTA-SZTE Antiquity and Renaissance: Sources and Reception Research Group, BTK Institute for Literary Studies
Title of her award application: "Underworld Trials and Hellish Punishments. Antique and Medieval Sources of Dante's Divine Comedy "
Published this year, the researcher's monograph has not only become the latest required reading in research on Dante in Hungary, it has also revealed new findings in several aspects of international studies of Dante. This is particularly significant as the world will commemorate the 700th anniversary of Dante's death this year. The work, which is outstanding from both a theoretical and methodological point of view, can also be used in secondary and higher education.
Zoltán Elekes – Centre for Economics and Regional Studies
Title of his award application: "Foreign-owned firms as agents of structural change in regions"
The primary author's study submitted in his application, is a unique presentation of the impact of the establishment of foreign-owned companies on the transformation of the local economic structure. Through the example of Hungary, it describes where and in what cases these companies create jobs in connection with economic activities that are new to a region. The study has already been incorporated into the literature on the subject and has been included in important and frequently cited writings.
Szilvia Anett Nagy Hajnal – ELKH supported research group: MTA-PTE Clinical Neuroscience MR Research Group
Title of her award application: "Investigation of brain abnormalities in the field of stress and depression with modern imaging methods"
In a series of articles submitted in her application, the researcher and her colleagues demonstrated in studies on a model animal that acute and chronic stress affect not only cognitive performance, but also microstructural brain abnormalities detectable by modern imaging. The results can also be applied to patients with major depression and other psychiatric disorders, something which also demonstrates the practical significance of the research.
Tímea Haszpra – ELKH supported research group: MTA-ELTE Theoretical Physics Research Group
Title of her award application: "Using a snapshot attractor approach in multidimensional climate simulations to investigate the effects of climate change"
In a series of articles submitted in her application, the researcher developed a new method for the analysis of atmospheric long-distance relationships based on an internationally recognized approach. The results obtained with the method describe the characteristics of a long-distance connection and their modifications due to climate change, which means the method is expected to be widely applicable.
Ágnes Kalivoda – Research Centre for Linguistics
Title of her award application: "Productive connection patterns of verbs"
The researcher's award-winning study is a work of outstanding quality in terms of both its scientific significance and its modern technological background, which combines the professional curiosity of a linguist with the efficiency of today's technical possibilities. The value of the fieldwork is enhanced by the fact that the mapping of productive connection patterns of verbs based on vast textual material is a hitherto little researched area. The enumeration of the ways of forming verbs, including the identification of sound schemes, is in itself a commendable achievement.
Réka Könyves-Tóth – Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences
Title of her award application: "In the wake of the brightest starbursts – the secrets of the supernovae"
The series of articles submitted as her application and published in a prestigious international journal during 2020–2021 consists of three publications of which she is the primary author. One notable aspect of the publications is that Professor Craig Wheeler, one of the most acclaimed figures in the field, is also one of the authors. In her work, the researcher revealed several hitherto unknown correlations for the physical properties of starbursts.
Kitti Mezei – Centre for Social Sciences
Title of her award application: "Current challenges of cybercrime in criminal law."
In the niche-filling monograph submitted in her application, the researcher examines the extent to which the current regulatory environment is suitable for effective action against cybercrime in the domestic, EU and international contexts. The topic is extremely current and of outstanding scientific importance, as rapid technological development is bringing new challenges every day, something legal regulations and the application of the law must keep pace with.
Eszter Nagy – Research Centre for the Humanities
Title of her award application: "A World Chronicle for Philip the Fair"
In this commendable study, the researcher explores a complex creative process through a multifaceted analysis of the World Chronicle and convincingly reconstructs the collaboration between the author and the craftsman who decorated the codex. She also successfully proves that the same Flemish miniator had previously worked for King Matthias. Her research illustrates the value of studying minor craftsmen to explore medieval artistic relationships.
Gergő Nemes – Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics
Title of his award application: "Globally exact asymptotics for integrals with arbitrary order saddles"
In his dissertation, the researcher examines the long-term behavior of functions given by Laplace-type integrals, which are common in other fields of mathematics, physics, and science, using the tools of asymptotic analysis. He combines classical aspects of mathematics with modern techniques to answer the question raised in the paper. The results of the co-authored publication are well suited to the study of special functions, number theory, mathematical physics, and quantum mechanics.
Domonkos Pap – ELKH supported research group: MTA-SE Pediatric and Nephrological Research Group
Title of his award application: "Identification and use of new types of anti-inflammatory compounds"
This Junior Prima Award-winning research project is a European patent application identifying a new type of anti-inflammatory that the researcher helped to create. The patent application is based on the fact that, for the first time, a comprehensive anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring effect of an active ingredient has been demonstrated by extensive in vitro and in vivo experiments. Based on the results, the drug may be useful in the treatment of several currently unresolved therapeutic diseases, such as the reduction of severe inflammation and scarring in the lungs due to SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.
Beatrix Péter – Centre for Energy Research
Title of her award application: "Exploring the effects of epigallocatechin gallate on cell adhesion and cell motility and coatings by unlabeled techniques"
In her award-winning series of articles, the researcher examines the effect of green tea extract on the adhesion and movement of HeLa cancer cells, using groundbreaking techniques that can be considered pioneering. In her measurements, she found that the most significant antioxidant component of green tea reduces the movement and adhesion of cancer cells and that the drug adsorbs on the surfaces studied. The results of the research are also outstanding in an international context.

Defconn finally met his ideal type actress�Jo Bo Ah!
During the June 17 installment of KBS2TV's '1 Night 2 Days',� Jung Joon Young became the PD for the day to plan an 'Overcoming Weakness' tour special for the rest of the members. For a segment, Jung Joon Young and the staff held a meeting to make Defconn become the most amazing man possible and to do this, Jung Joon Young personally recruited Defconn's ideal type Jo Bo Ah.
When Defconn saw Jo Bo Ah in real life, he couldn't hide his excitement and quickly became flustered. Defconn cautiously started the conversation, "I mentioned in the past that I'm a fan of you." To this, the actress replied, "I'm a fan of you as well.�Thank you for referring me," indicating that she was aware of the situation. The two shared a brunch and some small talk as well, getting to know each other better such as hobbies, ideal types, etc.
Did you catch Jo Bo Ah on '1 Night 2 Days' this week?

Q: How to automatically set a cell in mySQL if the time is within a current range is there a functionality in mySQL that automatically updates a value of a cell if the current time is within the range of another cell ( that is time Data type)
Assuming the table
id      startTime       endTime        state
----------------------------------------------
1       13:00:00        15:00:00       3
2       12:00:00        16:00:00       6

I would like the state to change to 0 if the current time (machine local time) is within the start and end time? Is this possible in mySQL or do i have to run and external script?
if this is possible how would i be able to do it ? Thank you

A: I think that there isn't a function that performed your request. But you can implement a query to do this. You can retrieved current time with command:
select now();

So you can check if the result is in the range

Ajax vs Man Utd Preview
Jose Mourinho will be under a lot of pressure to add the Europa League trophy to Man Utd's cabinet, as the only silverware they've secured this season is the League Cup.
Man Utd have had a poor season by their standards having finished 6th which means they missed out on a top four finish in the Premier League for the second year running.
Ajax on the other hand finished 2nd in the Eredivisie, but they haven't had success in a European competition since 1995 and will be determined to win.
The 2017 Europa League Final is being played at the Friends Arena in Stockholm at 19:45 on Wednesday and will be shown live on BT Sport 2 as well as streamed for free on YouTube.
Ajax's Best Odds: 7/2
If you're betting that Ajax will the Europa League Final, Ladbrokes.com offer best odds at 7/2.
Peter Bosz's team have had a great season, and will definitely be a challenging team for Man Utd to secure victory over to win the Europa League Final.
The Eredivisie runners-up have a young and technically impressive squad, who constantly play at breakneck speed and put a lot of additional pressure on their competitors.
Ajax could easily win the Europa League if they can pull it together on the day.
They may not have any major injury worries ahead of the game, but the main concern for Bosz is the weakness in Ajax's defence, and how Man Utd take advantage of it.
Man Utd's Best Odds: 19/20
If you're betting on Mourinho guiding Man Utd to victory, SkyBet offer the best odds at 19/20.
Having played fairly poorly over the last few weeks of the season, Jose Mourinho is under serious pressure to deliver the Europa League trophy to Man Utd's fans.
Having only finished 6th in the Premier League, a Europa Cup victory would not only give them another trophy, but would also secure the Champions League qualification they crave.
Unfortunately Mourinho has quite a few injury worries to contend with ahead of Wednesday nights clash against Ajax in Stockholm.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are all missing with injuries, while Eric Bailly is out following his recent red card.
Even with major injuries and recent poor form, online bookmakers still offer Man Utd up as the favourites to win the 2017 Europa League Final.
Best Odds On A Draw: 5/2
These teams have met 4 times before with none ending in a draw. Having said that, Man Utd drew more matches this season than any other team.
Plus, 4 of Man Utd's last 6 Europa League matches have resulted in a draw in 90 minutes, so a draw could be a very realistic outcome based on these stats.
If you're betting on neither team doing enough to win, Ladbrokes.com offer the best odds on a draw at 5/2.
NB: Ajax vs Man Utd odds correct at the time this match preview went live and are subject to change. Last updated: 08:41 24/05/2017.

Actual theory accepted today says that dinosaur extinction is by a meteorite but this has many problems.
A meteorite could to kill all animals or big animals but extinct all dinosaurs (less birds). Dinosaurs was big and also little ("Dinosaur size" in wikipedia not say the moment but say that was so little like 30 cm).
Dinosaurs only exist on land, in the sea were reptiles.
So, ask: How is possible that all dinosaurs disappear from a meteorite, same that of 30 cm but not birds and not other little animals?
"the new extinction and impact dates are precise to within 11,000 years, the researchers said" - in "New Evidence Suggests Comet or Asteroid Impact Was Last Straw for Dinosaurs" in other web : this is to say that we today can extinct by a meteorite impacted in Earth made 11,000 years?
In other words: What is the possibility that a total specie extinction by a meteorite and not the rest including any sub-specie like birds?
In this situation an specie not well prepared for particles emission can extinct, against this specie others species that live in burrows have more protection and also any species like bird that may accept the radiation.
That there are species that admit radiation is true, for example in the poles of the Earth there is not protection against the Sun particles eruption and live animals, also there are live bacteria that live in water of the nuclear reactors.
Is probably that birds by admission of radiation or by making their nest in places with protection and very little animals that live in burrows could survive at Sun particles that cannot the dinosaurs that not make burrows. (also consider that not all species of birds and little animals need to survive for survive their specie).
It's known that in time of the dinosaur extinction survive many little animals include mammals (look with these terms: survive dinosaur extinction). Also it's known that the Earth change the magnetic polarity and the magnetic field has variations and also that the Sun emission also has variations.
This hypothesis maybe true o false, but it's more probably that extinction by an asteroid.
A criminal proof could to be proof Sun particles emission on birds, but maybe not because it's probably that actual birds not admit theirs.
Now consider the extinction is by asteroids?
Why are extinct all dinosaurs and same that little of 30 cm? Also flying dinosaurs different from birds?
Why not extinct the birds?
Why other little animals not are extinct in that time? All not extinct animals were less of 30 cm?
Why from a asteroid collapse to Earth from until 11,000 years old only an specie disappear and not all or none?
(this post has relation with : Life in Earth is by Moon and 3 articles more over Moon and Earth in this forum) I can't post links.
Gigantic asteroid impact and Deccan traps' eruption killed all the dinosaurs.
In the planet considered in periods of million or millions years would be all very vulcanism, but this not extinct species, probably any moments the vulcanism is more but if dark the sky all the animmals die if the period is long, for this I put the example of the year without summer (1 only year).
And like it's totally impossible I only can to say that "Correct. But a consensus of informed scientific opinion is more likely to be correct than misininformed and misinterpreted opinion expressed by an individual." only means that this consensus of informed scientific is only a consensus over an impossible.
Another example: During Carboniferous period many mountains were created, but I think you not understant any animal would to run from the land because in that moment a mountain grow in his legs.
A big extinction with vulcanism and impact with the dark sky and according to that without germination of plants would be the end of all life.
Or: Do you know any animal than can life 1 year without eat?, any that can admit 10 years without eat? 100 years? 1000 years?
In the sea there are animals that live in dark, but this animals live from eat that fall down from the upper sea by gravity. This in a dark land cannot occur.
Lots of stuff all over the place here. Let's start by saying that it's likely that it was a combination of things, over a short geological time period, that caused this particular extinction. Why some animals but not others is a good question, but it doesn't invalidate the theory overall, it just means we don't have the whole picture. Certainly throwing the entire theory out and replacing it with your Sun cause doesn't change the fact that some species seemed to have gotten through with little effect while others completely disappeared.
But to replace a theory you have to have a better one, and the idea of the Sun doing something different in just that one area doesn't measure up. For one, magnetic field and solar cycles are very frequent, so why just these isolated periods? At least we have several impact areas and volcanic disruptions in the time period discussed that lead to the possibility that they had contributing factors.
Do you really think if that were a problem with the model you're the first person to think of it?
Anyway, this is (as the openning post states) against the mainstream so it is going to the alternative theories section.
No. I disagree totally with you.
That the extintion is by volcanoes and impact is totally impossible.
That the extintion is by sun particles is totally possible.
All their occurs many times, meteorites fall down all days, volcanoes also, volcanoes explosion we only know 1: kakratoa, big impacts some but an impact like say is impossible.
An impact that would extinct the dinosuars would be true if would be in a short period, 1 day probably and less days or month, but an impact or combination in 1 million years is totally impossible.
Against that, emission of the sun are totally possible, need to be a big rare period but this periods exist.
So the dinosaurs died of a sunburn?
Do you think there are not problem with the model?
Why cannot to be me the first in put against that impossible theory?
Why a lower emission of particles to the atmosphere in kakratoa take not germination of plants in year and a very more big emission has not problem and permit dinosaurs life until 1 million years more? This can you admit with volcanoes and end with impact or like you prefer.
Why an impact extinct all dinosaurs and same also so little like 30 cm and not extinct crocodiles, and other animals of more size? – consider that also extinct other animals.
Why birds that descent of the dinosaurs would not extinct and extinct all the other dinosaurs?
How can to be that the sky would dark, plants not make the photosynthesis and from that dead all dinosaurs and not other animals?
What eat the other animals that million years that are without photosynthesis and only dead all the dinosaurs?
Can to be volcanoes and impact without dead plants and without end photosynthesis and to be many dead and all the dinosaurs and not all live?
How is possible that not all plant are extinct with a dark sky?
How is possible that kakratoa explosion difficult the germination by the year without summer with the risk of lose vegetal species and many years of emission not take this risk and only extinct dinosaurs and few more?
Why the evidence and proofs are insufficient to understand and impossible?
Why kakratoa explosion is not useful to understand what happen in an explosion or impact?
Why none evidence is an evidence of existence of impact?
Why if volcanoes or impact over 1 million years could extinct all life, is probably consider for only extinct an specie?
Why if an impact would be in a court period and studies show that the extinction was in a very large period yet consider the most probably an impact that is impossible the relation impact and extinction in large period?
Why an impossible say by people with reputation not reduce their reputation and yet is considered a good possibility?
How much animals you know that can exist 1 year without eat? 100 years? a million years?
Note 1: An emission of particles of the Sun could explain all this but not an impact. In a emission the big animals would receive more particles, also it would have more difficult to take a ceiling for protection, against the animals that go into den, nest. Also is probably that one specie would be more sensitive to radiation and no others.
Note 2: I can't find any explanation to all this with impact or volcanoes that dark the sky.
It's happened numerous times in different degrees. Check the geological record and its correlation with the fossil record.
Firstly, you talk of sun particles. You need to explain what you mean by that. What evidence do you have of sudden release of radiation or some other things from the Sun that correspond with mass extinctions?
Nonsense. We have scars from both large impacts and volcanic explosions that did have huge effects on the Earth's climate. And again we have correlating evidence from some of these events and impacts on life on Earth, as well as some recent ones that affected humanity itself.
No it's not impossible. Impacts themselves are brief, but their effects can be long term. Volcanic disruptions don't have to be quick, but can slowly affect the environment.
Again, for your idea to have any validity to be preferred over current understanding, it has to be at least as good of an explanation, and it has to fit the data. What data do you have? What emissions? What periods?
Okay, let's take your emissions theory at face value. You still have to explain the same things. Extinctions didn't happen based on size, so that explanation is out. You can't use the problem of which species died out against the impact theory and not answer it in yours. It's a valid question, but it doesn't help your case.
What evidence of more emissions do you have that correlate with mass extinctions?
True, many impacts but not many extinctions.
Probably all days have impacts, but here speak over impact that dark the sun (or not) and that extinct a specie.
Why say impossible? a explosion or impact that extinct an specie in 1 million years would need dark the sky by that million years. Kakratoa explosion show that a few emision of only 1 year make not germination of plants in near of all the planet, without germination of plants there is not eat, problem in seeds, ... if only 1 year is so problem imagine in 1 million years. For 1 years not need dark the sky but for 1 million impossible extinction so many time without dark the sky, no photosynthesis and all life end.
A so big impact will be the end of life total.
I thinked I was writen.
A attack of Sun particles is like the possible attack to the astronauts, it's know that without the protection of the magnetic field the particles of the Sun are dangereous.
It's possible that this exist during 1 million years and by that it's possible the extinction were by this.
The animmals that have not protection (den, nest into trees, ...) receive more radiation, more big is also more radiation, the land is a good protection for all.
The radiation would affect to dinosaurs and many other animmals, also vegetables and sea animmals, ... in relation with more or less protection and the resistence of each specie.
My hypothesis maybe or not, the impact only is impossible for many years (millions), would be better for a short period, but this extinction was not a short period.
I have none evidence, but the particles of sun can to be dangereous, the magnetic field has variations in time, is a probability, but impact has 0% probabilities.
When anything occurs need to study probabilities, this is probably, do you know any better?
Yes, but in short periods, not million years, or before animals, ... none with relation to the extintion of 1 specie.
That affect human not during 1 million years.
This is proved false by kakratoa volcano explosion, if this explosion effects (by a bigger explosion) would during more years would be the end of life. How many time can you not eat? 10 years, 1000 year, 1 million years?
I don't have the time to go through your list of questions in detail but I'll make a few remarks. We do have evidence of a meteorite strike 65 million years ago. The crater is in the Gulf of Mexico, discovered a few decades ago by oil prospectors. Furthermore there is a layer of Iridium deposited globally in sediment dating back to that period. Such an element is found in higher concentrations in asteroids than on the Earth and to globally deposit a layer of sediment enriched with Iridium would require an event of global magnitude involving an Iridium source, namely an Iridium enriched asteroid hitting the Earth.
Not all animals died (obviously) but the reason the dinosaurs were so badly affected was the fact they were cold blooded, so a sudden cooling in global temperatures due to dust and debris in the atmosphere would impact them pretty badly compared to mammals. Some did survive, leading to birds and reptiles but the vast majority didn't have time to adapt.
Even with a global decimation of plant life due to reduced solar flux because of the aforementioned dust that wouldn't mean all the oxygen is used up. It took hundreds of millions of years for early life to oxygenate the atmosphere to 21% oxygen (I think it was higher back then too, about 25%?) and even if all plants stopped photosynthesising it'd take a long time to remove all of the oxygen. Consider humans producing carbon dioxide via fossil fuels. We put into the atmosphere 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year, burning through fossil fuels which are formed from millions of years worth of organic material, and in the 150 years since the Industrial Revolution we've changed the fraction of carbon dioxide in the air from 0.32% to 0.38% with a corresponding drop in oxygen levels. To remove 21% of the air, to de-oxygenate the atmosphere, would require respiration by animals on a scale which is hundreds, even thousands, of times greater than our entire civilisation burns fossil fuels at the moment. Unless every single tree was burned to the ground overnight this wasn't happening.
You don't seem to have much of an understanding of the asteroid strike evidence or process described by palaeontologists, I suggest you learn something about it before making what about to dishonest assertions about it.
I don't have the time to go through your list of questions in detail but I'll make a few remarks. We do have evidence of a meteorite strike 65 million years ago. The crater is in the Gulf of Mexico, discovered a few decades ago by oil prospectors.
"The impact was clearly the final straw that pushed Earth past the tipping point," - so, this affect at the begin of the extinction in near to 1 million years, is like I death today by a gunshot that any make me in a future 10 years.
"The impact was clearly the final straw that pushed Earth past the tipping point," - means nothing, because has not explanation of the begin and also can to be 11,000 later of the end of the extinction.
"the impact clearly played a major role in extinctions, but it probably wasn't just the impact." - they same affirm that the extinction is not by the impact.
"These precursory phenomena made the global ecosystem much more sensitive to even relatively small triggers, so that what otherwise might have been a fairly minor effect shifted the ecosystem into a new state," he said. "The impact was the coup de grace." - in this phrase the "coup de grace" is not necessary to the impact, is say by subjectiv link to the impact.
"One cause of the climate variability could have been a sustained series of volcanic eruptions in India that produced the extensive Deccan Traps. Renne plans to re-date those volcanic rocks to get a more precise measure of their duration and onset relative to the dinosaur extinction." - very few probably, this would to be like many years without summer and dark sky.
Then here where affirm that exctition by impact, they only affirm that is the "copy de grace" and this is subjectiv.
More: if many scientists search many years in any direction probably find anything, like the same article say they search from 1980 "The extinction of the dinosaurs was first linked to a comet or asteroid impact in 1980", this means that they are 32-33 years searching until this discovery.
Really this maybe the begin for a new post saying that meteorites impact has none relation with extintions.
"Some 212 million years ago, a 3 mile (5km) wide asteroid hit the earth, to causing a 62 mile (100km) wide giant hole. " - near in size and probably not extinction - "They first appeared during the Triassic period, approximately 230 million years ago," (in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur) - so dinosaurs appear probably 18 millions year before and no exctition.
More: seem that they not study the effects of the year without summer and probably effect at long time with bigger explosion, so they consider that a big impact can extinct a species and not the rest.
More: Today maybe many near to that period, today all the nature is attacked by polution, by chemistry, by waves (probably bee dissapear), by radiactivity, by fertilizer.
I don't say a big emission, I say a little emission, this during near 1 million years.
In first time only any animals dead, other get sick and other are good, but also slowly the generations are worse, the eggs have errors, ... and so o, so little the species are losing the healt.
During this period the dinosaurs are extinc but other animals not, but affect at all animals and plants.
This would be a probably cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. But repeat, volcanoes and impact is impossible, not is impossible that happens, but it's impossible make that in 1 million years.
Againts that the Sun has large periods, probably of million years or the relation of Sun with orbit, ... like glaciations.
more: I need say you that if you remain saying that dinosaur extinct by collision that first you need to convince of that to the writers of the "New Evidence Suggests Comet or Asteroid Impact Was Last Straw for Dinosaurs" - http://paleontoriano...r-asteroid.html because they only speak over "coup de grace."
Yes, and all people say that I lie when scientists only speak over a "coup de grace." (and this last is subjectif by any that like to join both events.
Dinosaurs died by harakiri...all of them have seen the light of the days flash before their eyes and felt the irrelevancy of existence fall heavy upon them.
Most of that you quoted says exactly what I said. We don't think it was JUST an impact, but a combination of things. But there's no denying that the impact 65 mya was global, and would have been devastating by itself. Enough for an extinction, maybe, maybe not, but if there were other contributing factors before, during, or after, the impact would have helped in sealing the dinosaurs' destiny. And keep in mind, something that takes thousands of years to actually occur is just a blink of an eye geologically, and that is exactly what we find in the strata.
Maybe it's the scale of things that you have trouble with. Compare what happened in Russia recently, and that was from a minuscule rock. Take something 30 times the size...or just look at the crater that was left. Imagine was was through into the atmosphere from that. It's not hard to see that even by itself, it wouldn't have been a minor event. But then throw in other problems, and many species could not adapt quick enough, therefore, they disappeared. Maybe it was the pace in adaptability that did the dinosaur species in, while other species could to survive past the worst points.
You still haven't answered anything about your theory of emissions. Why is it such a better theory, when you don't even have any data to support it?
An impact only can not extinct or extinct all species, by that the impact can not make nothing, only in the near enviroment like kakratoa in the island or global in all the world and all species.
They also say that the impact would to take effect in a short time period, but the time period is from near 1 million years and by that only can to be a probably "coup de grace", no more.
Like if a specie is ending and only remain 5 units, I with a gun kill him, .. .then The cause of the extinction of that species is me with my gun?
Easy, the impact cannot answer nothing, is not the cause, only a probably "coup de grace"
Then a probably cause, volcanoes no, impact no, .... what is the rest.
Sun make glaciations, without any proof we know that any day not more light emit and we die.
Chernobil maybe near the solution, emissions make that the animals lose healt, that in generation by generation the eggs are worse, the species are in less quantity and in worse condition until any and more extinction.
The extinction also is for plants, the emission affect also to plants, in winter many plants hibernate, not seem a solution.
What other probabilities are different to sun particles?
