Ports Jockey for Post-Panamax "Pole Position"
A leading provider of integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation services for upstream field developments worldwide, McDermott International is locating its pipeline finishing operations on the East Pier of the Port of Gulfport, Mississippi. The project will create 100 full-time jobs in addition to the longshoremen that will be employed while vessels are at the port.
According to the Mississippi Development Authority, McDermott represents the first major jobs announcement of the Port of Gulfport Restoration Project, and it comes two years prior to the completion of the project's construction. The company expects to begin operations at the port in late 2015. The company's tenant lease is for 10-years and includes options for three 10-year extension.
McDermott International is an energy, construction, and installation firm focused on the oil and gas recovery sector. From the Port of Gulfport, the company will spool the finished pipe onto special oil services vessels calling at the port. Additionally, McDermott will consolidate its Gulf of Mexico operations center to Gulfport so its service and supply vessels will use the port as its base of operations.
"Gulfport's well established port with coastline access makes it a prime location for the operation of a spoolbase. This facility complements our efficiency and our high-performance vessels. We will be ideally positioned to serve a wide range of our clients' needs from this base in the Gulf of Mexico," said Tony Duncan, Executive Vice President, Subsea.
"I am proud to welcome McDermott International as the newest tenant of the Port of Gulfport and the newest business partner to the state of Mississippi. This announcement is one of many recent positive accomplishments of the Port Restoration Project, and we are proud to include McDermott in our progress. The Port of Gulfport is an important economic driver for south Mississippi, and the investments we are making today will position the region for growth for years to come," said Governor Phil Bryant. The Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance in support of the project for equipment relocation costs.
"We are very pleased that McDermott International has chosen the Port of Gulfport as the location for its pipeline finishing operations, and we thank the company for creating these new job opportunities for the area's residents," said MDA Executive Director Brent Christiansen. "The Port of Gulfport is a tremendous asset to the Gulf Coast and state in terms of infrastructure and trade opportunity, and we believe McDermott will find a skilled workforce readily available in the region. We welcome the Port's newest tenant, and we thank our partners on the coast for assisting with this important project."

Few diseases exemplify the integration of research from bench to bedside as well as neonatal lupus, often referred to as a model of passively acquired autoimmunity. In essence, this disease encompasses two patients, both the mother and her child. The signature histologic lesion of autoimmune-associated congenital heart block is fibrosis of the conducting tissue, and in some cases the surrounding myocardium. It is astounding how rapid and, in most cases, irreversible is the fibrotic response to injury. The mechanism by which maternal anti-SSA/Ro–SSB/La antibodies initiate and perpetuate inflammation, and eventuate in scarring of the atrioventricular node, is not yet defined. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that one pathologic cascade leading to scarring may be initiated via apoptosis, resulting in translocation of SSA/Ro–SSB/La antigens and subsequent surface binding by maternal autoantibodies. These opsonized cardiocytes are phagocytosed by macrophages, which secrete factors that transdifferentiate fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, a scarring phenotype. Dissecting the individual components in this fibrotic pathway should provide insights into the rarity of irreversible injury and should form the basis of rational approaches to prevention and treatment.
Following the seminal observation in the early 1980s that sera from nearly all mothers of children with isolated congenital heart block (CHB) contain specific autoantibodies [1, 2], this disease, previously of interest only to the disciples of cardiology, became an important model of passively acquired autoimmunity. The identification of CHB in a fetus, particularly in the late second trimester and in the absence of structural abnormalities, currently predicts with at least 85% certainty that the mother will have autoantibodies to SSA/Ro alone or in conjunction with antibodies to SSB/La ribonucleoproteins . Disease in the fetus is entirely independent of whether the mother has systemic lupus erythematosus or Sjögren's syndrome, or is totally asymptomatic [3, 4].
One of the most intriguing aspects of CHB is that it is an injury unique to some phase(s) of development, since it has never been reported in the maternal heart despite the presence of identical antibodies in the maternal circulation. CHB carries a substantial mortality (approaching 20%) and morbidity, with over 60% of affected children requiring lifelong pacemakers . To date, third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block is irreversible. With advances in fetal echocardiography, first-degree and second-degree blocks have also been detected in utero, an observation that suggests a window of opportunity with regard to treatment. Based on a review of records from the Research Registry for Neonatal Lupus , however, we have recently learned that incomplete AV block can progress postnatally despite the clearance of the candidate maternal antibodies from the neonatal circulation .
The present model of passively acquired autoimmunity offers an exceptional opportunity to examine the effector arm of immunity and to define the pathogenicity of an autoantibody in mediating tissue injury. The study of CHB exemplifies not only translational research, which inherently draws upon clinical observations and explores them in the laboratory, but also 'integrational' research, which attempts to fit together critical clinical and basic observations, even those seemingly at odds. The pathologic cascade that eventuates in irreversible fibrosis, characteristic of this autoimmune-associated cardiac disease, has been difficult to define at the molecular level. The challenge rests on integrating the initial antibody insult with the final cardiac injury, and on reconciling the facts that the target antigens are intracellular and that most infants born to mothers with the candidate antibodies do not have clinically detectable AV block . Antibodies are therefore necessary but insufficient to cause CHB, and the final pathway leading to fibrosis may be variable, kept totally in check in most fetuses (normal sinus rhythm), being subclinical in others (first-degree block) and being fully executed in very few (advanced block).
In consideration of surface binding, one hypothesis is that apoptosis might result in translocation of intracellular antigens to the external leaflet of the membrane. Casciola-Rosen and colleagues first demonstrated, by confocal microscopy, the presence of SSA/Ro and SSB/La in surface blebs of apoptotic keratinocytes . Applicability of apoptosis to the pathogenesis of CHB is supported by several observations. It is a selective process of physiological cell deletion in embryogenesis and normal tissue turnover, plays an important role in shaping morphological and functional maturity [10, 11], and affects scattered single cells rather than tracts of contiguous cells . Perhaps a novel view of apoptosis is that it facilitates the placing of target autoantigens in a position to be recognized by previously generated antibodies. In autoimmune-associated CHB, the newly accessible antigen is not 'inducing' an immune response (i.e. immunogenic), but rather becomes a target of cognate maternal autoantibodies already present in the fetal circulation (i.e. antigenic).
Our laboratory initially addressed apoptosis in vitro using cultured human fetal cardiocytes. Incubation of 4-day cultured human fetal cardiocytes with 0.5 μM staurosporine or with 0.3 mM 2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone induced the characteristic morphologic changes of apoptosis, the internucleosomal cleavage of DNA, and the signature 85 kDa cleavage fragment of poly ADP-ribose polymerase . Apoptosis could also be induced by culturing the cells on poly(2-)hydroxyethylmethacrylate . The surface expression of 48 kDa SSB/La and of 52 kDa and 60 kDa SSA/Ro was demonstrated by confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy using affinity-purified antibodies to each of the respective antigens [13, 15].
Tran and colleagues have recently identified physiologic apoptosis, translocation of SSB/La, and binding of anti-SSB/La antibodies in the developing murine heart [16, 17]. We have extended this in vivo work and examined cardiac sections from several available autopsies. As assessed by TUNEL (FITC and immunoperoxidase detection), apoptosis was increased in available sections including septal tissue (containing the conduction system), the right ventricle and left ventricle from two fetuses (20 and 22 weeks gestational age) dying with CHB, compared to age-matched normal abortuses from elective termination. Notably, apoptotic cardiocytes were not present in contiguous tracts, but rather were diffusely scattered between nonapoptotic cells (Fig. 1A). Apoptosis was most pronounced in the septal regions. Furthermore, human IgG was colocalized to the apoptotic cells (Fig. 1C). Although apoptosis had not been previously examined, earlier studies have shown deposition of IgG in the hearts from two infants dying of CHB and hydrops (29 and 30 weeks gestation, respectively) in several areas of the heart, including the conduction system [18, 19]. Lee and colleagues reported that, in some areas, "IgG appeared to outline cells" .
Histological evidence of increased apoptosis and deposition of human IgG in conduction tissue of a 20-week fetus with congenital heart block (CHB). (A) A longitudinal section through the septal tissue of a 20-week fetus with CHB, counterstained with hematoxylin and eosin. Apoptotic cells are identified by TUNEL peroxidase and are scattered among healthy cells. (B) The same tissue section stained with alkaline phosphatase conjugated to anti-human IgG. (C) The same tissue section double-stained with TUNEL peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase conjugated to anti-human IgG to demonstrate colocalization of apoptosis and of IgG, respectively.
What these experiments do not address is the specificity of the anti-SSA/Ro–SSB/La antibodies and the unique vulnerability of the fetal heart. Dieude and colleagues have recently reported (also confirmed in our laboratory) that lamin B1 is redistributed during apoptosis but, unlike SSA/Ro or SSB/La, is not bound by cognate antibodies . These findings support discordance in the final cellular destination of translocated nuclear autoantigens during the process of apoptosis. In the case of lamin B1, physiologic noninflammatory clearance of apoptotic cells should proceed uneventfully even in the presence of circulating cognate antibodies. In CHB, however, the maternal anti-SSA/Ro–SSB/La antibodies result in opsonization and inflammatory/fibrotic sequelae. Even if it is found that SSA/Ro–SSB/La are not absolutely unique in this regard, there may be other factors such as complement binding of certain antigens or degradation of antigens that facilitate clearing without further sequelae. Establishing the fact that at least one other nuclear autoantigen is not surface bound during apoptosis of human fetal cardiomyocytes is a step forward.
The consequences of antibody-bound (opsonized) apoptotic cardiocytes were initially explored in vitro using a coculturing system . Macrophages coincubated with these opsonized cells secreted increased levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha over basal conditions or coculture with apoptotic cardiocytes incubated with IgG from a healthy control. Other investigators have also demonstrated that phagocytosis of opsonized apoptotic cells is proinflammatory [21, 22]; for example, the observation that ingestion of apoptotic cells bound by anticardiolipin antibodies results in the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha from cocultured macrophages . Histologic studies confirmed the in vitro coculturing model. Giant cells and macrophages (frequently seen proximal to IgG) were present in septal regions as well as in areas of thickened fibrous subendocardium, most apparent in the two fetuses dying before 23 weeks. These studies extend previous reports of a mononuclear cell infiltration in the myocardium of a fetus dying in utero at 18 weeks of gestation  and the demonstration of patchy lymphoid aggregates throughout the myocardium of an infant delivered at 30 weeks and dying in the immediate postnatal period .
Macrophages potentially contribute to several aspects of the pathologic process mediated by maternal autoantibodies. Although the pathways of clearance and cytokine secretion may vary, these scavengers phagocytose both nonopsonized and opsonized apoptotic cells. Concomitantly or alternatively, macrophages may present antigen to lymphocytes (perhaps those of either maternal or fetal origin), further contributing to an inflammatory process. Moreover, macrophages may provide a critical link between inflammation and ultimate scarring by secretion of alkaline phosphatases, resulting in increased calcification . In fact, macrophages could be seen contained in areas of calcification, particularly in the early cases. In a full-term neonate with CHB who died at birth, however, macrophages were less abundant and not associated with calcified areas, suggesting a diminished role in inflammation as the pathologic process evolves.
Perhaps CHB occurs as a consequence of unresolved scarring of the AV node secondary to the transdifferentiation of cardiac fibroblasts to unchecked proliferating myofibroblasts (scarring phenotype in which smooth muscle actin is expressed). Histologic support for this hypothesis was provided by the detection of myofibroblasts in all the affected CHB fetuses regardless of the timing of death relative to detection. As expected, myofibroblasts were located in areas of fibrosis. In the 20-week CHB fetus, clusters of macrophages in close proximity to myofibroblasts were present in scar tissue near the AV groove as well as the thickened fibrous subendocardium (Fig. 2). Sections from the septum of the 22-week CHB fetus showed myofibroblasts associated with the extensive fibrous matrix, and showed marked calcification in the inferior portion of the atrial wall where the AV node is likely to reside. In the full-term neonate dying at birth of CHB, myofibroblasts were observed in areas of scar. In contrast, these cells were not observed in either septal or ventricular tissue from the control 22-week and 23-week abortuses and from a term neonate dying of noncardiac causes. For the 20-week and 22-week CHB hearts, there was a strong positive correlation between the absolute number of macrophages and the content of myofibroblasts.
Proximity of macrophages and myofibroblasts in the septum of the heart from a 20-week fetus with congenital heart block (CHB). Longitudinal sections through the septum of a 20-week CHB heart. Tissue was first incubated with (A) anti-CD68 (macrophage) or (B) anti-smooth muscle actin (myofibroblast and blood vessel smooth muscle cells), and then stained with alkaline phosphatase.
The functional implication of the cellular colocalization demonstrated on the histologic sections was examined by in vitro studies in which cultured human fetal cardiac fibroblasts, exposed to supernatants obtained from macrophages incubated with opsonized apoptotic cardiocytes, markedly increased the expression of the myofibroblast marker smooth muscle actin (scarring phenotype) . The addition of neutralizing antitransforming growth factor beta antibodies to the 'opsonized' supernatant blocked expression of smooth muscle actin, supporting a potential role of transforming growth factor beta in the final pathologic cascade to scarring. Of relevance, preliminary genotyping data suggest that children with CHB have a higher frequency of the fibrosis-promoting polymorphism at codon 10 of transforming growth factor beta than do unaffected siblings .
While it is often assumed that fibrosis is simply the end result of an inflammatory insult, a recently published pathologic description of Lyme carditis associated with second-degree heart block prompts a reappraisal of the elements of tissue injury, response, and ultimate repair or scar in the human heart. Right ventricular biopsy revealed mono-nuclear cells around the myocardial microvasculature and within the endocardium . Despite prolonged inflammation (second-degree heart block was present for 8 weeks), the cascade to fibrosis was not irrevocably programmed since the block resolved following antibiotic therapy. This absence of permanent injury stands in strong contrast to the rapid progression to scarring seen in autoantibody-associated CHB. The expression of specific combinations of cytokines may ultimately provide the explanation.
In summary, immunohistological analyses of available cardiac sections from several cases of CHB/myocarditis with varying degrees of pathology parallel the results obtained exploiting in vitro coculturing systems. Physiologic apoptosis may initiate an inflammatory process via antibody binding and ingestion by macrophages that not only fuels continued apoptosis, but contributes to the transdifferentiation of cardiac fibroblasts to a scarring phenotype.
The heart block of neonatal lupus is not only progressive (second to third degree) but also characteristically irreversible, despite brief exposure to autoantibodies and a limited period of inflammation. This is underscored by the finding of extensive fibrosis even in the earliest deaths. Furthermore, persistence of this phenotype even after birth may be related to the progression of block seen post-partum in some infants . Moreover, fibrosis of the AV node contradicts the paradigm that fetal wounds heal without scarring .
Disruption of healing may involve the continued presence of myofibroblasts, a consequence of protracted stimulation from the macrophages. Irreversible fibrotic replacement of normal tissue may be unique to heart block acquired in utero following autoantibody-initiated inflammation. Other inflammatory stimuli, as in Lyme disease, induce transient block , arguing against the assumption that fibroblast transdifferentiation is merely a common final pathway of inflammation.
It seems reasonable to predict that there are both susceptibility and regulatory factors, such as fetal polymorphisms of Fc receptors and cytokines, each of which could influence the extent of the proposed pathologic cascade to result in permanent third-degree heart block. Dissecting the individual components in this fibrotic pathway should elucidate the pathogenesis of antibody-associated CHB and the rarity of irreversible injury, and may provide a rationale for therapy.

When we last spoke with Rush's Neil Peart, he was about to let loose for Drum Solos Week on The Late Show With David Letterman, during which he was planning to strike a balance between compositional and improvisational playing.
"About the process, though, I can't resist spilling a little. It was our second time working with the production team of Nick 'Booujzhe' Raskulinecz and engineer Rich 'Tweak' Chycki. Beginning with a confident level of trust allowed us to reach higher, and I recorded my drum parts in a way that, for me, was completely different than ever before.
"Even right up to our previous album, Snakes and Arrows (2007), my method was to take a demo version Alex and Geddy had made of each song and play along with it many, many times. I would experiment with possible rhythms and decorations, and gradually organize them into an arrangement. At that point, I might start recording demos myself—often with Alex as engineer—and improve them over time, with input from my bandmates and coproducer (Booujzhe, in that case).
"Rush songs tend to have complicated arrangements, with odd numbers of beats, bars, and measures all over the place, and our latest songs are no different (maybe worse—or better, depending). In the past, much of my preparation time would be spent just learning all that.
"This time I handed that job over to Booujzhe. (And he loved it!) I would attack the drums, responding to his enthusiasm, and his suggestions between takes, and together we would hammer out the basic architecture of the part. His baton would conduct me into choruses, half-time bridges, and double-time outros and so on—so I didn't have to worry about their durations. No counting, and no endless repetition. What a revelation! What a relief!"

Trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla°) is an anti-HER-2 monoclonal antibody conjugated to DM1, a maytansinoid microtubule inhibitor. Trastuzumab emtansine is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who previously received trastuzumab (Herceptin°) and a taxane, separately or in combination. The recommended dose of trastuzumab emtansine is 3.6 mg/kg given as an IV infusion every 3 weeks (21-day cycle) as a single agent until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Trastuzumab is prescribed in doses up to 8 mg/kg every 3 weeks—more than twice the maximum dose of trastuzumab emtansine.
Considering trastuzumab emtansine merely as a salt of trastuzumab, instead of a much more potent drug conjugated with an active moiety, is a root cause of confusing trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab leading to serious overdoses. During the clinical trials of trastuzumab emtansine, there were two deaths due to this mix-up. As a result, the US Food and Drug Administration added a contrived prefix (ado) to help differentiate these drugs, but ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a common name only used in the US (1). In Canada, two near misses have occurred and reported leading to ISMP Canada's safety alert to raise awareness about the potential for medication errors involving trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab (2).
However, the nomenclature commissions at national and international level (respectively USAN Council and WHO INN Programme) did not approve the drug name proposed by the FDA, a complementary source of confusion throughout the world. Even in the US there remains a danger that it might be ignored because electronic indexes and other references available via the Internet most often do not include the US prefix. The International nonproprietary names (INN) trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab are respectively published in recommended lists 45 and 65 by the WHO INN Programme, the international body to which a proposal for substitution of any INN shall be submitted. The risk of confusion between trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab at a global level was presented by the International Medication Safety Network (IMSN) to the WHO INN Programme during the last meeting on 10 April 2014. A proposal for substitution of trastuzumab emtansine is being considered by the Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies (CAPCA). Health Canada wrote to the WHO INN Programme on behalf of CAPCA expressing their concerns, which are planned to be discussed during the 59th Consultation on INNs from 14 to 16 October 2014.
Considering the interim period during which a new substitute INN should be examined, the International Medication Safety Network (IMSN) highly recommends that health care professionals be made aware of this problem and that drug information systems and guidelines employ strategies to differentiate the names and warn against confusion as a proactive risk reduction strategy. Ideally, healthcare authorities as well as patient and medication safety organisations should promote use of both the INN and the brand name for these medications throughout all the medication-use process (e.g. medication order, computer prescriber order entry systems, medication labels, medication administration record, etc.). Such a redundancy can be helpful in reducing error potential.

Q: How do Google Analytics advanced segment filters work? I'm trying to filter people who landed on a specific page and who were also new users (i.e., they landed on my site for the first time through this entry page).
That way I can track loyalty behavior of users who found my site via a specific landing page.
But I'm confused about the difference between using 'AND' in the same filter or creating a brand new filter in the GA's advanced filters.
I can't understand the difference between the two, but they do show slightly different data. Also, the loyalty is much better in the second version (with filters).
Which is the correct way to get the right data?

A: including and is a way to drill down into the exact thing you are looking for. It seems you were on the right track; I would put
Landing Page > Contains > URI
AND
User Type > Exactly Matches > New Visitor
If you use them together (I.E) URI of specific Landing page AND New Visitors, you will drill down to only new users who viewed your landing page.
If you create two separate Advanced segments, you will only get comparisons of new users who viewed your website to users who viewed your landing page.
What you could also do is create a new view(If you have Admin Access) and create a filter that only shows new visitors who came to your website via a specific landing page only.
I would say creating the filter in a new view is easier than the Advanced Segment.

Q: PHP : The procedure entry point php_checkuid could not be located I have an application hosted in a Windows machine that has two versions of PHP installed.
It's out of my control because there is another app of another vendor that somehow needs to use an older PHP version ; my app uses apache and the other vendor's app, IIS. The two PHP versions are installed in different folders, mine on 'c:\app\php' and the other vendor in 'c:\php'.
The problem is , when i go INSIDE the folder my PHP version is located (c:\app\php') and run PHP.EXE in command line, i get this error :
The procedure entry point php_checkuid could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\PHP\ext\somedll.dll
Why is this happening ? I'm calling PHP.EXE in the folder 'c:\app\php', not in 'c:\php'. How to fix that ?

A: The solution for me was set the PHPRC environment variable to the folder of the correct PHP instance (c:\app\php). Before it was set to the wrong one (c:\php).
To do this search Windows for 'Edir environment variables for your account', look for 'PHPRC' and set it to the correct folder of the PHP instance.

A: Put in the Windows Environmental Variable 'Path' the path of the php version you want to use.
Copy the complete content of phpForApache.ini to the php.ini file in that folder.
After that open a command window anywhere and type php -v should be working.
Good luck.

Review: LEO reader's choice awards
on Thursday, a day after the winner's were announced, the annul LEO Reader's choice Awards were held at the Kentucky Center For The Arts.
we went last year, our first year, we didn't win anything, but we got an invite so we thought maybe we had, so we bought new suits and dresses. but like this year, they announced the winners a day before the Awards Ceremony, so their wasn't any big surprise. they didn't get up on stage and do the whole "and the winner for best place to get arrested is..." anyway. it was not what we expected, not what you would think an awards ceremony would be. it was more like a county fair, the winners had booths and gave away samples, and one of the "best cover Band" winners played. but, it was kinda fun, they had acrobats flipping from the ceiling, and a really nice gift bag (the bag it's self was a vinyl tote). but as far as i could tell the acrobats were not a winner of a category, but it was nice. and honestly, we had fun. so went again this Year. it was mostly the same, food winners giving away samples, and liquor reps giving away lots of booze, and again "best cover band" played. but as far as i could tell, that was the only entertainment. no flying acrobats. and we didn't get gift bags..
when we walked in, *NSYNC's 'bye bye bye' was playing on the PA. i was a little shocked at first, but maybe if they had that 30 foot tall girl from the video puppeteering it would have been amusing (if you have no idea what i'm talking about, watch the video for Bye Bye Bye..) but the music selection didn't improve. outside Rocktimus Prime, the reader's 3rd best pick for best cover band were playing. if their name tells you at what age they were born, it should tell you what their song selections were, early 90's college rock.
more than one person said, 'why didn't they ask some of the original bands to play?' i wondered this myself, and why 90 percent of this party was just restaurant winner's handing out samples?
the answer is in the LEO Reader's Choice categories: there are 79 categories for dinning and nightlife (bars and restaurants) and only 27 for Arts and Entertainment. 50 less!
i'm not saying they should cut down the food and drink section, louisville loves to get drunk and eat out (he he), but the Leo isn't just a dinning guide, and Louisville is famous for it's music and entertainment, so why is the Arts and Entertainment section so small?
instead of Best Annual Festival (Kentucky Derby wins every time, and it also wins "best excuse to leave town''.. which means just as many people don't think the Derby is the best fest.) why not open it up some. we have so many annual fests in this town, why not have several categories, like: best neighborhood annual (highlands fest, nulu fest, shotgun fest, etc...), best non music annual (lebowskifest, Zombie Attack, Germantown fest, etc), most original(Caufield's halloween parade, Motherlodge, etc), most family friendly, most family unfriendly, etc...
and for a music town, why is their only 7 musical group categories.. we have such a large pool of musical talent, that spans more than Country/Western, Rock, Cover, hip-hop, and solo... i could go on for days with this..
so, 37 Flood nor Zombie Attack made it in anywhere. but that's not why we do these things. but it does make me wonder, it seems like the ballet is filled with 'best place to get a hair cut, oil change, urinate in public...' and i guess those are important, but does it really represent what we actually enjoy and are proud of in our town? yes we are proud of the kentucky Derby, and the Speed Art Museum, but what would you really tell an out of town guest about Louisville? 4th Street Live? The Best Dry Cleaners? i'd like to see a reworked ballet... this town is filled with music fests and off beat annuals that are never mentioned, as well as alternative magazines, blogs, venues, creative types... but only the mega big events/places are named, and it's the same every time..
Don't get me wrong, i am glad the Leo let's us vote and be proud of our town, but i think there are a lot more props to be had, more pride for our town, and more space on the ballot.

Q: Delphi 11.2 - Phone Dialer does not works I am using Delphi 11.2 and the call phone function on android does not works anymore. When I start the app it's stop to working. Using the Delphi samples PhoneDialer project the same error.
Any idea ?
Regards.

A: Although it's trivial, I think it may be best to document it as an answer.
Many of the resources on the phone require that the user grants permission for using them.  The purpose of this mechanism is to stop viruses and badly behaved applications from running without the user's knowledge.
Phone is such a resource.  You will need to grant your app permission to use it.  It is not enough that your app checks if it has been granted or if you have registered the PhoneDialerService.

The difference between INCOTERMS DDP, DDU, and DAP explained!
http://forwarder-university.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DDP-DAP-DDU.mp3
IINO san
Please listen to the contents!
Incoterms DDP and DDU are the so-called door-to-door arrangements of trade terms. In the transaction of the trade, there are many ways to arrange your trade terms.
We need to clarify who will arrange the logistics and take the costs and risks on the export and import sides.
As a forwarder in Thailand, I prefer logistics that we can control, so we frequently arrange DDP and DDU, compared with EXW and FOB.
Neko-senpai
I'll explain the general rules this time!
Seagull Senpai
A lot of things have changed in Incoterms 2020, so I explained it in another article.
[Related Videos] DAP/DPU/DDP in Incoterms 2020 explained.
Professor Lion
Here is the latest information.
What is DDP?
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid and is one of the Incoterms, a type of trade terms.
It refers to the terms of trade in which the exporter bears the freight and transportation cost to the destination and insurance. It is included in a group of terms called Group D in Incoterms.
Characteristics of DDP
DDP is the biggest responsibility of the 11 Incoterms for exporters and the least responsibility for importers.
In DDP, the exporter is responsible for import customs clearance only under the conditions of this D group (DDP/DAP/DPU(DAT)). D group is the condition in which the exporter takes transportation in the importing country.
In reality, though, the forwarder on the export side and the forwarder on the import side work together, and the forwarder on the import side does the practical work.
This means that the exporter bears the cost and responsibility until the cargo arrives at the designated destination specified in the contract.
In the case of a DDP transaction, the exporter is required to have enough experience in the trade, including experience in dealing with freight forwarders in the home country and the other country.
You also control the transportation in the other country, so if the forwarder you are dealing with doesn't have experience, you can't do it.
On the other hand, from the importer's point of view, you just have to wait for the cargo to arrive at the designated destination under DDP conditions.
DDP is that this the transaction condition with the least risk if you are inexperienced in trade.
However, if the exporter asks for documents necessary for customs clearance, etc., you will need to cooperate with the exporter.
The place of delivery, cost-sharing, and risk-sharing in DDP
Under DDP conditions, a specific point on the importing country's side on the contract becomes the delivery of the cargo, and the place where costs and responsibilities are transferred.
The exporter bears the cost (all transportation costs, including taxes) and responsibility until the shipment arrives at the designated destination.
This is a feature of the tax (customs duty and import consumption tax) on the cost.
The exporter is responsible for everything until the cargo is delivered.
What is DDU?
DDU is an abbreviation for Duty Unpaid. The difference between DDU and DDP is the payment of duty at the place of import.
In the DDP condition, the exporter also pays the duty at the place of import, but in the DDU condition, the importer is responsible for payment.
cat senpai
DDP has taxes, DDU has no taxes! That's the only difference.
Amendments in Incoterms 2010
The DDU condition was abolished, and the DAP condition was established instead in Incoterms 2021.
It is recommended to move to the newly established DAP condition along with DES and DAF, which are the same Group D transaction conditions.
DAP is a term used to refer to the obligation of the importer to unload the cargo at the port of entry, especially in the case of container transportation.
Basically, we carry the cargo to the customer's place, and the carrier doesn't unload it.
The DDU condition is still used in practice, although it is recommended to move to the DAP condition.
In practice, we mostly call it DDU. But the correct term is DAP.
Also, it is not prohibited to use Incoterms 2000 terms and conditions like DDU terms and conditions, so depending on the situation, you may have to use DDU terms and conditions.
In this case, it is recommended to write "As per Incoterms 2000" on the document.
What are DAP terms?
DAP terms are a new set of terms and conditions established in Incoterms 2010.
It is an abbreviation for Deliver At Place.
DAP is the delivery of goods to the importer at the port of import or a terminal in the country of import (wharf, warehouse in the port area, container yard, railroad station, etc.), ready for unloading on the means of transport (ship, plane, truck, etc.) before import clearance.
cat senior
So it's the importer (buyer) who unloads.
At the time of delivery, the risk and cost are also transferred to the importer. In other words, the importer bears the risk and expense of unloading.
In this article, we have looked at the DDP condition and DDU condition in detail.
The DDP condition is the biggest responsibility of the Incoterms conditions for the exporter and the least for the importer. EXW conditions are the least responsible for the exporter, while DDP conditions are the exact opposite.
In DDP, exporters have to make sure that they can send the cargo to the designated destination without any unloading or customs clearance problems at the destination.
For this purpose, it is essential to cooperate with local forwarders and other related companies.otherwise, it is difficult to obtain permits or customs clearance in the importing country even through a forwarder.
In that case, it is advisable to avoid DDP and choose DAP or other trading conditions that do not require customs clearance.

Nokia expands Wataniya Telecom's Kuwaiti HSDPA
Middle East North Africa Kuwait Nokia Wataniya HSDPA
Nokia has won a contract to expand Wataniya Telecom's High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) radio and core network in Kuwait. The new installation will increase the network's capacity and extend the HSDPA network coverage to new areas. In addition to the 3.6 Mb/s HSDPA radio network, Nokia will provide Wataniya Telecom with a core network upgrade (including packet core equipment and the Nokia MSC Server mobile soft switch) and a range of services such as network planning, consulting, systems integration, implementation, pre-launch optimisation, maintenance, and care services. Deliveries have already begun.
Previously, Nokia has supplied Wataniya Telecom's core network, upgraded its GSM radio network with EDGE, and supplied the WCDMA 3G/HSDPA radio network in order to run advanced services such as video calling, video sharing, and push to talk. Nokia's own system is known as HSPA. It is a simple software upgrade to Nokia WCDMA networks, thus enabling a fast, cost-effective rollout. Nokia HSPA is made up of two key technologies, HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access), enabling mobile broadband with breakthrough data speeds of up to 14.4 Mb/s in the downlink and up to 5.8 Mb/s in the uplink. Nokia HSDPA is claimed to offer almost ten-times faster data services than current 3G networks, generating an enhanced service experience.
* Launched in December 1999, Wataniya Telecom has helped to increase mobile market penetration in Kuwait to over 80% of the population. With operations in Kuwait, Iraq, Tunisia and Algeria, Wataniya Telecom is actively expanding its presence within the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region, serving over 3 million customers.

we are planning an editorial calendar for our weekly newspaper we have many topics and features wold like some one in the industry to assist in organizing a media kit can you help?
There are specialists in this process. One, Patricia Luebke, has an essay in the Guru's 'Think Piece' area.
media guru i am trying to find information on magazine ad costs. i have enlisted the help of www.mriplus.com and that is the info i can find online. would you know of anywhere else online i can find valuable info concerning ad costs pertaining to specific magazines?
Try individual magazine's web sites. Most have a "media kit" or "advertising" area. The link is often tiny, at the bottom of the home page.
What is the easiest way to get media company (MTV, ESPN the magazine, HBO, etc.) media kits?
Can you recommend any resources for gathering information on how media buyers use/don't use media kits. I'm doing a search to determine the validaty of this basic marketing tool and would appreciate any suggestions of where to start. If there are any actual studies or polls that have been done, perhaps articles that you have published or if you could point me in the right direction of where to search, I'd greatly appreciate it.
It's possible that there is some published research at Newsweek Media Research Index, The Magazine Publishers' Association or The Advertising Research Foundation InfoCenter. For details about the InfoCenter, call 212-751-5656, extension 230.
Most likely, custom research will be needed.
Hi Guru. I work for a small agency that deals heavily with print. When we do handle broadcast buys, my resources are limited (as I've complained to you about before). I recently put together a modest cable buy for Lexington, MA - enlisting Cablevision as the cable system of choice. I found that Cablevision handles the Lexington area through their media kit (Media One, the other system that I knew of, does not handle this area). Well, the campaign has been underway for about a week. I recently received an email from the CLIENT that she heard that 60% of the Lexington audience uses RCN cable, not Cablevision (no clue where stat. came from). I have had the hardest time trying to locate the advertising sales dept. of RCN. There are no numbers on their website and everyone I speak to is in Marketing and not advertising sales. Can you direct me to a site which lists cable advertising contacts? I've already tried a number of resources with no luck. Any advice would, as always, be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have requested and received the latest media kits, and have given a single sheet description of the client and the demo to the reps. Should there be an expanded RFP, and how long (or short) should a print RFP be, to be effective?
The Guru is not supportive of RFPs for print submissions. The concept of the RFP is best suited to soliciting complete solutions to needs. If you could give each vendor your complete print communications goals and were possibly willing to allow one publisher to win the whole budget, then the RFP approach could make sense.
Otherwise, the Guru recommends you specify, target, positioning, frequency desired, merchandising desires, and ad units and not be concerned with the "length" of the request at all. In other words, tell the sellers, as directly as possible, what the buying decision will be based on, and then let them respond. Feel free to request a standardized format for submissions, but allow enough flexibility to receive good ideas.
Does AMIC have a media kit? I am interested in finding out what advertising space on AMIC costs. If you can give me an idea of AMIC's target audience and the market segmentation it uses, I would greatly appreciate it.
Click here for the AMIC Rate Card . The audience is made up of advertising and marketing professionals seeking media, marketing and research information.
This sort of information is provided by Standard Rate and Data Service (SRDS) Newspaper Source. Additionally, MediaPassage has newspaper media kit links.
Those selling web advertising cite recall statistics --- recall of web advertising versus television advertising. I personally do not think that you are able to make an apples to apples comparison between the two as the mediums are so very different. Those who are surfing the world wide web are there for a reason and more inclined to tune out much advertising --- as opposed to television which is more a passive medium. Are there any studies or statistics that speak to this subject?
The Guru agrees that web users more readily tune out ads than do TV viewers. But that is why recall is a useful measure. It lets you know what the person exposed retains from an ad exposure. If the tested exposures are "real-world" and not in a an artificial laboratory situation, the Guru believes recall is a valid metric. AOL did some research along these lines and the results should be posted in their media kit area. It was also reported in Ad Age.
How is measure theathers on the states? Because in Puerto Rico theres no sources.
While Simmons and MRI provide average audience per screen, the Guru does not know of any U.S. service measuring movie audience in the ways broadcast audiences are reported or print is audited.
Newspaper and magazine media kits are obtained from either the newspapers and magazine themselves or their advertising sales representatives.
Of course you will need to define "top 50 or top 20." You could specify top 50 circulation, top 50 audience in a specific demographic category, top in ad sales dollars, top in ad pages, etc.
If you ask one such publisher or rep e.g. Times Mirror, the person who helps you can porbably provide ranked lists of the others.
Lists of book distributors are not media information. You might try a web search engine like AltaVista.


I always loved problem solving (possibly due to my previous life as a lawyer and trained mediator) and I loved observing my babies' development.
With each child a new product was born as well, a product I felt was missing in the market and could help babies and parents.
I fell in love with the product development world and the entrepreneurial bug and so I founded elli&nooli.
Since then I have developed, patented and helped other moms develop meaningful products.
With the birth of my third child and the patented grabease line of products I felt the need to combine a social aspect to my works and so I started PROJECT elli&nooli which is dedicated to supporting babies in need.
Supporting is my passion. Via personal connection, product development and caring for the ones in need in our community.

[Clan Wars] Operation Safari Event Announcement
Clan Wars Discuss on Forum
Tank Commanders!
The World of Tanks team would like to announce the imminent start of the first game event on new Global Map, during which new mechanics and large-scale events will be tested! Completing quest tasks and engaging in ferocious tank battles with rival clans for the promise of gold and tank prizes - all this awaits you in Operation Safari!
About Operation Safari
It is the early 21st century. The world is experiencing a period of instability and tension in anticipation of shocking developments. Many points on Earth are in a state of heated confrontation, echoes of which reverberate to all corners of the planet. The world as a whole retains its balance for now, but a single event that took place on the Southern Hemisphere threatens to push the world into another global war, which could be the last for war for humanity.
The incident began when the government of one of the Gulf countries decided to transfer their stocks of weapons-grade uranium for processing to IAEA, with several tons of uranium loaded onto a cargo ship under top-secret conditions. However, there was a leak of information; the warship escorting the cargo ship was sabotaged and sunk in the Gulf of Aden, and in the ensuing attack by Somali pirates the cargo was seized.
With access to weapons-grade uranium available in a few days to anyone with the money to spend and the will to use it, the threat of unprecedented magnitude hangs over the world. In a desperate bid to maintain a semblence of order, the armed forces of all UN members were raised and charged with a single objective - preventing the deadly shipment from getting into the wrong hands. Action must be taken now, before all trace of the enriched Uranium disappears into the vast expanse of the African continent!
The Operation Safari event will take place between 05:00 UTC+8 14 October 2015 and 23 October 2015.
During the event, the following activities are available:
Clans will perform a sequence of tasks, which will be issued to each clan personally.
Battle operations will be carried out on two fronts, which will be available in the area of South Africa and the Horn of Africa. Prime-times will be divided between them.
In order to provide an opportunity to get game gold to the greatest number of clans, the income of all provinces on event fronts will be set to 600.
Reward Vehicles
Clans will be able to earn Fame points during the event and players will receive Personal Fame points for each battle, which will allow winning clans and players access to main event prizes.
The main trophies for Operation Safari will be:
300 Tier VIII French FCM50t
1,500 Tier VII USA Т23Е3 (with improved penetration)
Note: The armor penetration of the T23E3 will be improved in the closest upcoming update:
Armor-piercing ammunition - 149 mm (was 128 mm).
Piercing ammunition - 190 mm (was 177 mm).
Based on feedback given for previous game events, the prize distribution system of tanks will be changed and will be built on the basis of the activity both clans and players, which will balance the prizes in clans and individual competition.
The distribution of clan tanks will be based on a system of clan licenses, which has been used in the "Armageddon" event, while the distribution of tanks in individual standings will be based on a system used in the "Twilight of the Gods" event.
The current changes and order of prizes distribution are as follows:
Distribution of 3 FCM50t licenses between clans that occupied the highest place in the ranking.
The rest of the FCM50t tanks distributed by a Wild Card system among players according to the number of Personal Fame points.
Distribution of 800 T23E3 licenses among clans, according to the number of Fame points.
The T23E3 tanks distributed by a Wild Card system among players according to the number of Personal Fame points.
After distribution of all clan tanks, 700 T23E3 tanks will be distributed among players according to the amount of Personal Fame points.
In addition to reward tanks, players will also be able to attain the following unique event medals:
Tactical Master I Class
Tactical Master II Class
Tactical Master III Class
Tactical Master IV Class
Big Game Hunter I Class
Big Game Hunter II Class
Big Game Hunter III Class
More information about the event including the calculation system and the conditions to obtain the medals will be available in the Operation Safari Regulations, which will be published soon. Keep your eyes peeled for updates!

Two-Headed Worms Tell Us Something Fascinating About Evolution
Ashleigh Papp: This is Scientific American's 60-Second Science, I'm Ashleigh Papp.
You might say that Guillermo Ponz is a scientific monster hunter–even though he thinks that term, "monster" never really captured his subjects right.
Guillermo Ponz: So they're regular animals that have gone through different developmental processes that would end up building a body, that is not what you expect.
Papp: What this researcher based in Madrid, Spain, actually loves, is the oddly amazing animals. After all, he studies two-headed worms.
Ponz: We have these worms that are usually regular worms like with one head and one tail, that's normal, but sometimes they may have two heads or two tails. And on the other side, there are worms, which have one head and many tails always.
Papp: Officially, he looks at bifurcated annelids, meaning things like earthworms that have come out of their larval stage with two heads, or spontaneously sprouted two tails, or … some other combination of mixed up appendages.
We know that certain species, like some salamanders and insects, have the ability to regrow appendages in a time of need. But there's this one phylum of worms, the annelids, that can re-grow unlike anything else that we've ever seen in the kingdom.
Their segmented bodies, like an earthworm with rows of ringed compartments, help them easily regrow a new head or tail at the first sign of trouble.
Or even crazier, they can regrow an entirely new right side of their body if sliced in half.
Ponz: … worms that do these crazy things that are very weird, very, you know, very, very strange things that these worms should not, quote-unquote, should not do.
Papp: Once Ponz started studying the anatomically death-defying lengths to which these worms would go to grow and survive, he was totally pulled in.
And he realized that he and his team weren't the first to be fascinated. Ponz found that there was a golden age of research on "monster creatures" during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Ponz: … 100 plus year old literature would refer to the sentiments of monsters, creatures, or monsters, or oddities or, you know, they're, they're all these these variations that describe them. And in the end, these these animals are not not monsters.
Papp: A fixation with the "reanimated Monster" makes sense, especially back then. Author Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, was published in 1818, and it only further intensified interest–and some of that interest translated into actual research.
Ponz and a team of international researchers conducted a wide-sweeping review of the existing knowledge about monster worms. They dove into 275 years' worth of research — combing through scientists' observational journals, reading historical texts, and even reaching out to the broader scientific community to see if anyone knew anything about records of abnormal worms.
They wanted to understand all of the different types and patterns of bifurcation and see if there were any clues about how the oddities developed.
Their search landed them in a jackpot of both history and science.
They came across documents and drawings of bifurcated worms from around the world — in Latin, French and German, all the way to Russian, Japanese, and even Indonesian. All in all, they spent over a year working through the archives, translating old texts, and following the trail of monster worm clues.
What they learned is that bifurcation in worms has been observed in over 60 species of worms across the annelid family tree, and in some species, up to 20% of the juveniles ended up with some form of bifurcation. This work was recently published in the journal Biological Reviews. [Guillermo Ponz-Segrelles et al., Monsters reveal patterns: bifurcated annelids and their implications for the study of development and evolution]
Ponz: And that means, for example, in the in the case of bifurcation, that when an animal is cut, and is regenerating, for example, the tail, there needs to be some mechanism that specifies where this tail is going to be, how it's going to be oriented, what is posterior, what is anterior, what is left, what is right, what is dorsal, what is ventral. And these mechanisms can be disturbed. And these might lead to different anatomies.
And that gives us clues about what is important during this process. Of course, these are the baby steps. So we are just pointing towards this process, this phenomenon, we are saying, Okay, hello, this happens, there are these animals that are doing these weird things. We should not forget about them, let's look into them.
Papp: They also realized that there's a strong correlation between the type of bifurcation and the internal organ development. Meaning, the way that the worms were split reliably indicated if extra sets of organs were present.
With this type of intel, Ponz and his team were able to essentially draw up a blueprint, or how-to guide, for reliably and repeatedly creating bifurcated worms … which is potentially a very useful resource for scientists interested in studying the mechanisms of development.
This long-forgotten study of worm developmental anomalies seems poised for a comeback. According to Ponz, this information could extend far beyond the annelid and even insect worlds to help us better understand how things like growth and development actually happen … in both the normal and the monster ways.
Ponz: In a sense, we are now following this trend that they started then, studying these animals to try to understand bigger pictures in nature. Usually development leads to a certain way to assert them to a certain point. So you have a development that ends up in anatomy that's more or less conserved. But sometimes it doesn't. And that can teach us something about development processes. And that's interesting.
Papp: For Scientific American's 60-Second Science, I'm Ashleigh Papp.

Q: Firefox stuck at Login operation with Selenium-Webdriver I'm trying to execute Selenium-webdriver code written in Ruby for firefox.
I'm using firefox 45.0.1 because I use ruby 2.1.10 and Selenium-WEbdriver-2.53.4
When I execute Selenium opens firefox, enters address and enters username and password and hits login button.
But after that It stays there with loading symbol near login and also browser says

Transferring data from 34.23.23.2

Selenium is stuck here for 5 minutes and then exists saying timeout and gives below error.
**1.1) Failure/Error:**

@browser.span(:text=>'Login').wait_while_present(10000)
      Net::ReadTimeout:
        Net::ReadTimeout

When I manually open firefox new tab when selenium opens the firefox and try to login manually, I see the same issue. But When I open firefox manually from desktop and login it works. Please tell me what I'm I missing here.

A: I suspect that some websites detect when a automated test is running and behave differently, also when selenium starts up it uses a default profile and when you open it manualy your profile is loaded. Cant say for sure that's your problem.

Project 2191-1 - Castle Building & Remodeling, Inc.
This NE Minneapolis family was looking to update their ½ story upstairs bedroom to incorporate new finishes and an efficient layout. The budget conscious homeowner's decided to put on their handy gloves and shared much of the labor with Castle. Unused built-ins and a misplaced closet were removed to create a more functional floor plan. The stairwell was opened up to help create the feeling of more space. All finishes were updated; new carpet, oak millwork, beautiful doors, custom attic access doors, and smooth walls and ceilings. Electrical was updated throughout the space including a new switching layout for the new oil rubbed bronze fixtures. The space is now functional and clean and ready to grow with the young family.
