Vitamin D may protect against COVID-19, especially in Black patients
Publish date: March 26, 2021
Becky McCall
Higher levels of vitamin D than traditionally considered sufficient may help prevent COVID-19 infection – particularly in Black patients, shows a new single-center, retrospective study looking at the role of vitamin D in prevention of infection.
The study, published recently in JAMA Network Open, noted that expert opinion varies as to what "sufficient" levels of vitamin D are, some define this as 30 ng/mL, while others cite 40 ng/mL or greater.
In their discussion, the authors also noted that their results showed the "risk of positive COVID-19 test results decreased significantly with increased vitamin D level of 30 ng/mL or greater when measured as a continuous variable."
"These new results tell us that having vitamin D levels above those normally considered sufficient is associated with decreased risk of testing positive for COVID-19, at least in Black individuals," lead author, David Meltzer, MD, chief of hospital medicine at the University of Chicago, said in a press release from his institution.
"These findings suggest that randomized clinical trials to determine whether increasing vitamin D levels to greater than 30-40 ng/mL affect COVID-19 risk are warranted, especially in Black individuals," he and his coauthors said.
Vitamin D at time of testing most strongly associated with COVID risk
An earlier study by the same researchers found that vitamin D deficiency (less than 20 ng/mL) may raise the risk of testing positive for COVID-19 in people from various ethnicities, as reported by this news organization.
Data for this latest study were drawn from electronic health records for 4,638 individuals at the University of Chicago Medicine and were used to examine whether the likelihood of a positive COVID-19 test was associated with a person's most recent vitamin D level (within the previous year), and whether there was any effect of ethnicity on this outcome.
Mean age was 52.8 years, 69% were women, 49% were Black, 43% White, and 8% were another race/ethnicity. A total of 27% of the individuals were deficient in vitamin D (less than 20 ng/mL), 27% had insufficient levels (20-30 ng/mL), 22% had sufficient levels (30-40 ng/mL), and the remaining 24% had levels of 40 ng/mL or greater.
In total, 333 (7%) of people tested positive for COVID-19, including 102 (5%) Whites and 211 (9%) Blacks. And 36% of Black individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 were classified as vitamin D deficient, compared with 16% of Whites.
A positive test result for COVID-19 was not significantly associated with vitamin D levels in white individuals but was in Black individuals.
In Black people, compared with levels of at least 40 ng/mL, vitamin D levels of 30-40 ng/mL were associated with an incidence rate ratio of 2.64 for COVID-19 positivity (P = .01). For levels of 20-30 ng/mL, the IRR was 1.69 (P = 0.21); and for less than 20 ng/mL the IRR was 2.55 (P = .009).
The researchers also found that the risk of positive test results with lower vitamin D levels increased when those levels were lower just prior to the positive COVID-19 test, lending "support [to] the idea that vitamin D level at the time of testing is most strongly associated with COVID-19 risk," they wrote.

Demand for Grain to Increase
Grain demand to remain strong, ISU professor says
SHEFFIELD, Iowa -- Demand for corn will continue to be strong for the next 20 years, posing not only great opportunities for producers, but significant challenges, according to Dr. Charles R. Hurburgh Jr.
Besides the struggle to keep up with demand as the need for ethanol grows and standards of living improve in China and India, the industry will have to cope with great variability in weather and with significant workforce turnover, said Hurburgh, professor of agricultural engineering at Iowa State University.
Also, recent food safety legislation will result in much greater scrutiny of grain handling practices, he said.
Corn production has grown from 2 billion bushels per year 30 years ago to about 12 billion per year currently, but it's still not enough, Hurburgh said, speaking in Sheffield to dealers of grain storage and handling equipment made by Sukup Manufacturing Co.
"We're growing more grain and people are paying more for it. Worldwide, the demand for the product is real. We are still not keeping up with the pace of demand," Hurburgh said.
The trend appears irreversible for many years, he said, in large part due to the demand for ethanol as an alternative to foreign oil. In 1980 there was practically no corn going to ethanol. Last year the total was 4.2 billion bushels, Hurburgh said. High gasoline prices will continue to drive strong demand for ethanol, he said. Regardless of politics or government programs, "The economy is telling us we need more alternative fuels."
Corn yields have increased steadily, from 75 bushels per acre in 1970 to about 150 currently. By 2125 it could be about 230 bushels per acre, Hurburgh said, noting that the sharp increases in corn yield means there will continue to be great demand for bins and grain handling equipment.
And with the increasing emphasis on food security, it's likely that storage on the ground will be phased out. Demand for large bins will be strong, requiring the equivalent of 14,000 additional 650,000-bushel (105' diameter) bins by 2035, assuming a 4-bushel-per-acre-per-year increase.
At about $7 per bushel of corn, it's expensive to cut corners on storage and lose grain to mold in outside storage, said Hurburgh, who also spoke in March at the Grain Elevator & Processors Society convention in Minneapolis. "I believe outdoor piles are a thing of the past."
Another factor that will pose great challenges to the grain industry is the Food Safety Modernization Act, Hurburgh said. It will give the federal Food and Drug Administration broad power to inspect and monitor grain handling. "Grain handling, storage and drying is considered part of the supply chain" Hurburgh said. "I would expect that – not immediately, but eventually – (farmers) will get questions on cleanout of bins and management of bins."
Grain handlers can prepare themselves for the coming scrutiny by cleaning up existing messes, starting on food safety plans, and documenting possible food safety problems. The food safety plan can be developed by creating a food safety team, creating a flow chart of handling operations, identifying hazards, developing a record-keeping system, and using data for improvements, Hurburgh said.
Overcoming workforce changes will take concerted effort, he said. Sixty percent of the U.S. workforce will retire in the next decade. That means there won't be as many people with longtime agricultural backgrounds still on the job.
The industry will need to train more people through distance education, hands-on training, credentialing, two- and four-year degree programs, and applied research, he said.

Q: looping to multiply by previous value in pandas I have a DataFrame in pandas as shown below:
df = pd.DataFrame({'origin_dte':['2009-08-01','2009-08-01','2009-08-01','2009-08-01','2009-09-01','2009-09-01','2009-09-01'],
                   'date':['2009-08-01','2009-08-02','2009-08-03','2009-08-04','2009-09-01','2009-09-02','2009-09-03'],
                   'bal_pred':[10.,11.,12.,13.,21.,22.,23.],
                   'dbal_pred':[np.nan,.25,.3,.5,np.nan,.4,.45]})

    bal_pred   date   dbal_pred origin_dte
0   10      2009-08-01  NaN     2009-08-01
1   11      2009-08-02  0.25    2009-08-01
2   12      2009-08-03  0.30    2009-08-01
3   13      2009-08-04  0.50    2009-08-01
4   21      2009-09-01  NaN     2009-09-01
5   22      2009-09-02  0.40    2009-09-01
6   23      2009-09-03  0.45    2009-09-01

I want to loop through and replace each observation of bal_pred where dbal_pred != NaN with dbal_pred[i] * bal_pred[i-1]. For example, the second value of bal_pred would become 0.25*10=2.5. When origin_dte changes, meaning dbal_pred is again NaN, the calculation would skip the NaN observation and calculate the next bal_pred. So df would look as shown below. I have a while loop that does this, but the problem is it takes a very long time to loop through large data frames. Really appreciate a simpler/faster way to do this!
    bal_pred  date       dbal_pred  origin_dte
0   10.000    2009-08-01    NaN     2009-08-01
1   2.500     2009-08-02    0.25    2009-08-01
2   0.750     2009-08-03    0.30    2009-08-01
3   0.375     2009-08-04    0.50    2009-08-01
4   21.000    2009-09-01    NaN     2009-09-01
5   8.400     2009-09-02    0.40    2009-09-01
6   3.780     2009-09-03    0.45    2009-09-01

A: A different approach would be to label each group of data and then take the cumulative product of each group
group = df['dbal_pred'].isnull().cumsum()
df.dbal_pred.fillna(df.bal_pred, inplace=True)
df['bal_pred'] = df.groupby(group)['dbal_pred'].cumprod()

output
   bal_pred        date  dbal_pred  origin_dte
0    10.000  2009-08-01        NaN  2009-08-01
1     2.500  2009-08-02       0.25  2009-08-01
2     0.750  2009-08-03       0.30  2009-08-01

5     8.400  2009-09-02       0.40  2009-09-01
6     3.780  2009-09-03       0.45  2009-09-01

A: # fillna with 1 so we can cumprod
c = df.dbal_pred.fillna(1).cumprod()

# track where null
n = df.dbal_pred.isnull()

# take cumprod where null and forward fill
d = c.where(n).ffill()

# cumprods divided by cumprod where last null
# gets us a grouped cumprod that starts over
# at every null.
# multiply this by `bal_pred` where null forward filled
# and voila
df.assign(bal_pred=c.div(d) * df.bal_pred.where(n).ffill())

   bal_pred        date  dbal_pred  origin_dte

I applaud President Lassner for his comments at the last Board of Regents meeting where he stated that in the absence of any fundamental restructuring of the University, the UH System Office must become a value-added service to the campuses. After more than three and half decades of working within the various manifestations of the University of Hawai`i, I would say that implementing organizational "efficiency and effectiveness of support services" is the least that needs to be done to justify the current structure of the UH System, but unfortunately it is likely to prove insufficient to address the major issues the facing the institution going forward.
It is my observation that the University of Hawai`i as currently constructed is not sustainable even over the near term. The shift in the relationship of the University to the State of Hawai`i has forced a fundamental change in the nature of this public university and the competing missions that it is now being asked to carry out with ever fewer state resources and support. I continue to carry the strong belief that the University is more than just a public higher education "job training center," no matter the level of complexity attendant to those jobs. The answer to creating a sustainable university will not be found in a simplistic adoption of a "corporate" or "market" approach. A university education, especially at the baccalaureate level, is a unique life experience of enduring value, and not just a commodity to be purchased.
The University of Hawai`i is a public treasure which makes Hawai`i a better place for all of us. It is not just a location where students learn and faculty members teach, or where football and volleyball teams play games, even as important as those aspects are to the institution. Its mission goes beyond instruction to the creation of new knowledge. The University is the repository of our shared cultures and historical experiences. It is the critical responder to changing environments, public needs, and crises. If the Regents do not understand the real nature of a university or are unable to promote the value of the institution to the citizenry, then truly all hope is lost.
In order for our University to better serve this state, it is my conclusion that the Regents should move forward with more than just a reordering and consolidation of the UH System Office. I believe the legislators, the students, the faculty, the UH staff, and the citizens of Hawai`i will accept responsibility to, and accountability from, the institution if it were composed of three distinct parts: University of Hawai`i (including Manoa Valley all baccalaureate offerings on Oahu), Hawai'i State University (including all post-secondary education on the Island of Hawai`i), and the Hawaii Community College System (including Maui College, Kauai CC, and a unified Oahu CC comprised of all campuses on the island.) Each of these entities would have a President that directly reports, and is responsible to the Board of Regents.
I envision the University of Hawai`i, Hawai`i State University, and the Hawai`i Community College System as academically autonomous entities, subject to the approval of degrees, programs, and certificates by the Board of Regents in the same historical manner that has been utilized. The Regents would also approve course articulation agreements between campuses, and facilitate cooperative academic and research endeavors between the three entities. The final approve of the granting of tenure (which is more than just "job security") would still require the approval of the Regents upon the recommendation of each of the Presidents. Faculty, administrators, and Presidents of the three institutions would carry out all procedures for hiring, the recommendations for tenure, and the decisions with respect to academic promotions.

  jest ciągłym izomorfizmem liniowym  do

Twierdzenia
 Jeśli  są przestrzeniami Banacha,  a odwzorowanie  jest regularne, to dla każdego otwartego  zbiór  jest otwarty.
 Złożenie odwzorowań regularnych jest regularne.
 Każdy dyfeomorfizm jest odwzorowaniem regularnym, lecz nie na odwrót.
Przykład:

Odwzorowanie  określone wzorem  jest regularne, ale nie jest dyfeomorfizmem, gdyż nie jest odwracalne (ze względu na okresowość funkcji trygonometrycznych).

Andy Reid has a plan and he's sticking to it.
Yesterday, the Eagles coach reiterated what he told reporters Sunday: The starters won't play in tomorrow night's preseason finale. That includes rookies Brandon Graham and Nate Allen. Backup quarterback Michael Vick will play the first half, with third-stringer Mike Kafka taking over after halftime.
The twos and threes are fighting over a limited number of roster spots. Bubble guys, like Macho Harris, will be evaluated with how strong they are on special teams.
"That weighs heavy on those last couple of roster spots," Reid said.


Looks like I needed to design project in free shape mode?
Like frontage with double back?

2. how to add frontage to the 4 sided chest design I sent which showed a door instead of a panel while I was trying different things.
I do not want the door. I do want a frontage panel.
Just wanted to know they were in the Queue.
Could you give me more detail so I can help you?

Kicking and Screaming to Believing: Two Instructional Technologists' Journey Bringing AI to Their Classrooms
In a rural North Carolina school district, two instructional technologists felt like they were building the plane as they flew it through the pandemic. Then, they were approached with piloting Merlyn, the first-of-its-kind AI assistant for teachers. They were hesitant: "I didn't want to be the pilot for it [Merlyn], because we were already building a plane and now you guys just landed another heavy piece of equipment."
Today, they report even their most skeptical teachers can't teach without it: "She said, 'You are not leaving this room until you get this fixed.'" From keeping students on task to organizing Google Drives, teachers have found Merlyn to be a true teaching support, rather than another app with bells and whistles.
How did their relationship with Merlyn and innovation change from "kicking and screaming" to believing? And what can other instructional technologists learn? Listen to our host, Levi Belnap, unpack their journey.

Our talks drifted to past attempts at revolution and a change came over Bhagat Singh as he spoke of the martyrs of 1915-16 and especially of Sardar Kartar Singh, the central figure of the first Lahore conspiracy case. Neither of us had met Kartar Singh. He had already been hanged when we were yet kids but we knew how he, then a mere youth of 18 and a comrade of Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna, Baba Rur Singh and Prithvi Singh Azad, had become the undisputed leader of the Ghadr Party. He came to India in 1915-16 with the aim of organising armed revolt against British rule. A fearless fighter and a superb organiser, Kartar Singh was a man admired even by his enemies. I literally worshipped him and to hear one talk inspiringly of my hero was a great pleasure. I began to feel a liking for Bhagat Singh. Before he left Cawnpore we were close friends though I never ceased to make fun of what appeared to me his pessimistic outlook.
Terrorism, armed action against the enemies of the people, we were convinced, was indispensable to rouse the nation. But, clearly, terrorism by itself could not lead to freedom. In what channels and by what means was the mass movement unleashed by terror to be directed, what sort of government would replace British rule? These questions, vaguely formulated were beginning to be asked in our ranks.
Such was our socialism in those days. We had lost faith in the existing national leadership, its constitutionalism, its slogan of boring from within disgusted us. And we looked upon ourselves as men who by their example would create the basis for the rise of a new leadership. Socialism for us was an ideal, the principle to guide us to rebuild society after the capture of power.
Our party decided to strike a blow. In December 1928 Saunders, the assistant superintendent of police, the man who had led the lathi charge, was shot dead in front of the police headquarters in Lahore. Well-timed and daringly executed, it was an action that was acclaimed by the public with joy. The first of the blows by means of which we expected to stir the country had been struck.
It all seemed over, our dreams and our hopes. More depressing than anything else was the shocking fact that, unable to stand police torture, no less than seven, two of them members of our central committee had turned approvers.
These talks had a galvanising effect on us. As a first step we resolved to join the hunger strike that Bhagat Singh and Dutt had already had already begun. Our central demand was the placing of all political prisoners in a single class, better diet for them, newspapers and reading material and writing facilities.
Das was lying there on a cot, unconscious, with doctors attending on him. They feared he might die that very night. He recovered but developed pneumonia and that weakened him so much - he refused all medicines and nourishment – that forcible feeding was now out of question.
In vain, however, Bhagat Singh saw Babaji and pleaded with him - he was in tears when he reported the interview to us - to desist. Babaji continued the strike as long as we did. He lost a good part of his remissions and had to remain in jail for a year more.
Studies in prison deepened the love that we already cherished for the Soviety Union and on the occasion of the 1930 anniversary of the November revolution, we sent greetings to the Soviet Union, hailing its victories and pledging support to the Soviet State against all enemies.
There, in the presence of lawyers and visitors, scores of policemen armed with lathis and batons pounced upon us. This was the order they had been waiting for. We fought back with bare firsts but the odds against us were too heavy. Blows rained on our chests, on our,.arms. Thrown on the ground we were kicked and beaten with lathis. We were removed from the court by force, bloodstained and severely injured. The injuries were so serious that several comrades could not move for days together.

Katastrofa lotu Pakistan International Airlines 268 wydarzyła się 28 września 1992 roku w Katmandu w Nepalu. Airbus A300B4-203 należący do linii Pakistan International Airlines rozbił się podczas podejścia do lądowania na lotnisko w Katmandu. Zginęło 155 pasażerów i 12 członków załogi, razem 167 osób, wszyscy znajdujący się na pokładzie.

Samolot
Airbus A300 to szerokokadłubowy samolot odrzutowy dalekiego zasięgu, zaprojektowany w 1972 roku. Ten, który uległ katastrofie został dostarczony w 1977 roku do niemieckich linii lotniczych Bavaria. W ciągu kolejnych 15 lat należał do 8 różnych linii lotniczych m.in. EgyptAir, Kuwait Airways i Air Jamaica. Do Pakistan International Airlines trafił 21 kwietnia 1986 roku, po czym nadano mu numer rejestracyjny AP-BCP.

Przebieg wydarzeń
O godzinie 11:13 miejscowego czasu Airbus A300 Pakistan International Airlines wystartował z lotniska w Karaczi. Lot przebiegał bez żadnych problemów do momentu, kiedy załoga rozpoczęła procedurę podchodzenia do lądowania. Po skontaktowaniu się z nepalską wieżą kontroli, piloci otrzymali zgodę na lądowanie na pasie 02 od południa, zwane podejściem Sierra. Maszyna znajdowała się 41 mil (65 kilometrów) od pasa startowego, na wysokości 15 000 stóp (4500 metrów). Lotnisko w Katmandu jest jednym z najtrudniejszych lądowisk na świecie, położone na wysokości ponad 1300 metrów nad poziomem morza, otoczone górami, których szczyty sięgają nawet 3000 metrów. Lądowanie miało przebiegać siedmiostopniowo, do określonych stacji DME przypisane były wysokości, na jakich miał znajdować się samolot, by bezpiecznie przelecieć ponad górami.

Jak wynikało z rozmów w kabinie pilotów odczytanych z rejestratora głosów w kokpicie - piloci podejmowali właściwe działania, jednak o krok za wcześnie. Stąd, znajdując się przy 16. DME, byli na wysokości, która odpowiadała kolejnej. Przez tę pomyłkę samolot zszedł znacznie poniżej właściwej ścieżki podejścia, a różnice te sięgały kilkuset metrów. Piloci informowali kontrolera o wysokości, na jakiej się znajdują, jednak ten nie ostrzegł ich, iż są znacznie poniżej właściwego toru lotu, aż do kilku sekund przed uderzeniem.

Samolot Airbus A300 lot 268 zbliżył się do pasma górskiego Siwalik na wysokości, która nie pozwalała na jego ominięcie. Uderzenie o górę spowodowało śmierć wszystkich osób znajdujących się na pokładzie samolotu.

Śledztwo i przyczyny
Wydarzenie miało miejsce zaledwie 59 dni po katastrofie lotu 311 Thai Airways International, do której doszło na północ od Katmandu. Kanadyjscy śledczy, którzy przybyli do Nepalu badać katastrofę lotu 311, równocześnie pracowali nad dochodzeniem dotyczącym lotu 268.

Jako przyczynę katastrofy uznano głównie błąd pilota. Czynnikiem mającym również wpływ na wydarzenia był fakt, iż materiały dostarczone pilotom, przedstawiające w formie graficznej podejście na lotnisko w Katmandu, były niejasne i słabej jakości. Dodatkowo, śledczy zarzucili kontrolerom, iż nie zareagowali w sposób należyty i nie ostrzegli pilotów o zejściu poniżej ścieżki.

Ofiary katastrofy
Większość ofiar stanowili turyści z Europy.

Horizon:Volume 7C Chapter 69
Chapter 69: Opener of a Closed Place[edit]
Even indoors
Morning is morning
It's always like this
At this time
Point Allocation (I am up)
Mitotsudaira stepped out from Suzu's Bath.
The compressed sleep spell had awoken her on schedule.
…Which was a little earlier than the others.
Asama, who had already been up, had given her a morning purification in the bathhouse bath. The bathwater had been a little hard for her nonhuman standards, but …
"Today's ground battle will be in a field instead of in the Edo ruins, so bug repellent is going to be fairly necessary."
She had shared the morning bath with the two arms, meaning they had taken their bath earlier than Horizon herself.
They had a battle coming up, but they still had breakfast and a strategy meeting to go, so she had put her pajamas back on. Once outside, she saw her king laying a cloth over one of the benches out front.
"Good morning, my king."
"Oh, hey. Morning. Would you like some ham for breakfast?"
"Judge! You ordered it from the Blue Thunder, didn't you? That sounds fantastic."
"Sure thing," he replied while walking to the stove of the food stand he had set up in front of the bathhouse. She realized he was only wearing an apron.
"My king, why are you dressed like that?"
"Don't be dumb. I don't want to get hot oil on me! It's the smart thing to do!"
She had a feeling it was bad that made sense to her.
But something else was weighing on her mind.
…Is everything okay in Satomi?
There had been a big battle there. She had seen the result when she woke up, but it had ended sooner than she had expected.
Even their forces had been worn down a lot early on and Hashiba's group had arrived in the early morning.
…Houjou and the locals really gave it their all.
What did her king think about it all?
The arms, which had accompanied her outside, must have been curious about that as well because they beckoned him over.
"What is it?" he asked just in time for them to leap up and grab his cheeks.
"Ow ow ow ow! My cheeks don't stretch like that! Please forgive me!"
"Why do you ask for forgiveness when you didn't do anything wrong?" she asked.
"It's my schtick," he said while the arms climbed onto his shoulders and started mussing up his hair. Mitotsudaira smiled bitterly at it all.
…Looks like I don't have to worry about him.
He did seem to be thinking about something, but he did not seem depressed.
A thought occurred to her, so she looked over at Asama who was compiling a list of spells.
That Shinto shrine maiden was closely connected to life and death and to history. She was the most common member of their class that people came to for advice. And given the order with which they woke up…
…That must be it.
I shouldn't be surprised, thought Mitotsudaira. She knew she did not have it in her to discuss life-and-death issues or what happened with Satomi Yoshiyori. She might even try to dodge the issue by unnecessarily talking about what tactics he should have used back then.
On the other hand, if the "intensity" with which she tried to discuss such things got through to him, maybe it would be meaningful after all, but Asama had handled it this time.
"Tomo."
"Eh? What is it?" Asama turned around after the arms handed her a list of Horizon's spells. "Is there a divine protection you need in a hurry?"
"No, it isn't that." She watched her king carry over the food stand's pedestal from the bathhouse's storeroom. "Horizon would have stretched his cheeks, slapped him, and given him a lecture based on some extreme point of view, don't you think?"
"Wh-what are you talking about?"
Asama's flustered behavior told Mitotsudaira she had been right.
…There are so many tricky problems to deal with.
Her king could not be allowed to feel sad.
But this time, she had a question about that.
"Did you want to prevent my king from feeling sad?"
Asama froze in place but eventually looked around and sighed. After confirming that no one else was listening in, she turned toward Mitotsudaira once more.
Her face displayed relief more than just a simple smile.
"It felt like a weight had already been lifted from his shoulders before I said anything."
In that case, her king must have made some decision on his own.
She wondered what would have happened if the Kantou Liberation had failed, but…
"We have finally caught up to the multitude of doubts and anger we felt that night, haven't we?"
"Oh, that was a very Mito thing to say."
"Was it?" she wondered while Asama erected a soundproof barrier around the plaza in front of the bathhouse.
"We are about to order some breakfast, so how about we all eat together?"
Mitotsudaira looked around while wondering where they could all eat breakfast together.
That "all" would go beyond those in the bathhouse. It would also include Noriki and the others who had returned to their homes. In that case…
"Have you rented out this plaza?"
"Yes. Horizon is still asleep and I thought having us all together would make adjusting our divine protections easier. …Oh." Asama seemed to realize what Mitotsudaira had meant and she replied while picking up Horizon's arms from the ground. "I have gotten permission to use this place. I've activated a simple barrier so I can purify everyone and handle their spells while we hold a meeting. So, how we usually do things."
"Impressive, as always."
"Please, it's nothing." Asama produced a collection of spell list sign frames on top of her empty hand and left them with Hanami. "Mito, I want to settle on what spells to distribute to everyone, so will you help me with that in a bit?"
"Judge. But breakfast comes first. …And that's quite something, Tomo."
She was looking at the two arms held between Asama's breasts. It had to do with how tightly Asama was holding them, but Mitotsudaira recognized something in the way the arms were acting.
"I've noticed that they tend to calm down when Kimi does this with them," said Asama.
"Come to think of it, she did restrain them like that during the camp at Sanada, didn't she?"
"She did," confirmed Asama while their king walked over with some paper plates.
The arms looked back and started squirming, so Asama lowered them down, but…
The chest of her clothing separated and exposed everything down to below her navel.
"Don't worry," said their king. "I'll just be here staring."
"My king, saying that with a straight face is a little weird."
"It's fine." Asama smiled with lowered eyebrows and placed a hand on her opened clothing. "I'm wearing the supporter I showed you earlier, so it's fine. It's perfectly fine. Really."
"Oh, how unusual."
As soon as the words left Mitotsudaira's mouth, her own collar was grabbed from below.
Eh? she wondered before realizing it was the arms. The next thing she knew, her clothing had been opened from shoulders to navel.
"Kyaaaaahhh!"
She quickly closed it again and her king looked back when he was supposed to be setting down a plate.
"Don't worry. I'll just be here staring."
"Is that what you call equal treatment? Is that what this is?"
Down below, the arms gave him a double thumbs up and then gave another one to Kimi as she stepped out of the bathhouse. Kimi could not have known what it was about, and yet…
"Yes! Fantastic! More! Do it more!"
That was always a bad sign, but Mitotsudaira had her own excuse to make while holding her clothes together.
"I-I am wearing something underneath, so it is fine for me too."
"Right!" said her king with a cheerful smile. And while finally setting down the plate, "We are outside, after all."
Mitotsudaira saw Asama's expression change when he said that.
Her eyebrows rose in surprise and she could not look him in the eye while responding in a scratchy voice.
"R-right?"
Asama felt her body temperature quickly rise and then fall.
She knew he had a photo of her while she slept, but she suddenly remembered that he might have more.
…Wowww.
This was bad. She realized her blood pressure and pulse had been fluctuating wildly the last few days. That had to be bad for her health.
Down at her feet, the arms held their hands up to imaginary ears in a "You were saying?" gesture, but she knew they had to be doing this on purpose. And more importantly…
Next to her, Mitotsudaira gave her an oddly refreshed smile.
…Ho ho?
Mitotsudaira had her own thoughts on the matter, but right now, she lightly elbowed the shrine maiden who could not look her king in the eye.
"Eh? Ehh?" said Asama, so Mitotsudaira smiled and spoke.
"So you agree you want to be careful because we're outside? Then what would you have done if we were inside?"
Asama's expression froze for a few seconds.
"O-oh."
She hung her head while a cold sweat covered her face, but this told Mitotsudaira something.
She had been so sure that was what had been on Asama's mind, but this reaction said otherwise.
…If that wasn't on her mind, then she must have been thinking about some other stupid-…no, I mustn't call it stupid. Some other problem.
Well, whatever, she decided to keep going from the problem she had suggested just now.
"Heh heh. Fine then, Tomo. If you insist on treating inside and outside differently, I will do the same."
"Y-you're using me as an excuse for something, aren't you!? Aren't you!?"
Asama quickly recovered and pointed at Horizon's arms looking up at her from the floor.
"L-look, these arms are completely naked, if you can believe it! They're already taking things much further than me!"
"Hey," said their king. "You've gotta be able to relax more while at home, right?"
"Um, well, yes, I suppose so," said Mitotsudaira while thinking to herself.
…But you can "relax more" while still wearing underwear, can't you?
She felt like she was starting to bargain with herself here, but she decided there was nothing to worry about since Horizon tended to destroy all the rules in the Main Blue Thunder anyway. She would do best to do what she wanted.
I see, she decided, but something still bothered her.
It had to do with her earlier "inaccurate guess".
She took Asama a short distance away because Naruze, Naito, and some others had stepped outside. And then…
"Tomo, why did you get weirdly flustered earlier? You know, about the 'being outside' stuff."
"Eh!? W-well, you have to, um, wear something underneath this while outside, right?"
"You're changing the subject, aren't you?"
When Mitotsudaira said that with a smile, Asama looked the other way.
But not to avoid answering. She suddenly raised a hand to gather Naruze's attention.
"Naruze, show us Mito's version of what you showed me."
What is this about? wondered Mitotsudaira. Naruze was clearly woozy from lack of sleep, but she managed to toss over a Magie Figur.
She caught it and found it was a photograph. And…
It was her own face as she slept. For some reason, the arms were there striking a body pillow pose, but the bigger issue was how it showed her clinging to her blanket with her hips sticking up.
"Wait, wh-what is this!?"
"Oh, we reached an agreement for her to delete mine. Yes. Also, there is a chance that some photos of more than just your face made their way to Toori-kun. Yes." Asama smiled with raised eyebrows and placed her hands on Mitotsudaira's shoulders. "It's the same for both us! For both of us, Mito!"
"How was I supposed to know about this!?"
Asama's expression went blank and she weakly looked the other way.
"Count yourself lucky you were fully covered in yours…"
Mitotsudaira had no idea what might not have been covered, but it sounded like Asama had it even worse than her.
Kimi saw Asama trying to calm Mitotsudaira down.
She stood near the bathhouse entrance where her brother was reheating and cooking some things on the portable stove.
"Foolish brother?"
"Hm? What is it, sis? Want me to add some of this honey here?"
"I'll have some on my toast. But anyway…" She looked to the two girls who had each picked up one of the arms and worked to restrain them as some kind of new sport. "People change, don't they?"
She moved behind her brother and balanced plates on her shoulders and arms to help carry them out. She stood on her toes while half-laden with plates.
"Foolish brother."
It was faster to balance a few on her palms and let her brother set them down.
And she had more to say.
"Finished with the plates, you mean?"
"Heh heh. You know exactly what I mean, don't you?"
"Judge." He lowered his head, but only as a nod. He immediately looked back up and held his head high. "I'm your brother, aren't I?"
"Heh heh. Oh, you foolish brother."
"But," he said. "I'm glad to hear you say that."
"Asama said something to you last night, didn't she?"
"Well, yeah."
"Did she call it a happy ending?"
What a shrine maiden-y thing to say, thought Kimi. Asama would understand what it meant to be happy and to rid yourself of troubles since she spoke of such things often in her work.
…But with my foolish brother, it wouldn't be part of her work.
So it was probably something like "Isn't that great".
While imagining a few possible ways she might have said that, Kimi felt an extremely ticklish sensation at the top of her stomach.
"Kimi, why are you smiling at Tomo in such a 'my, my, my' kind of way?" asked Mitotsudaira.
"Heh heh. It won't be long before I do the same for you! Make sure to have lots of fun with my foolish brother, since that is the source of my good mood!"
"W-wait, Kimi! What are you saying I've done to deserve this!?" asked Asama.
The arms held out their hands to calm the girl and Kimi commented on the action.
"They really are a part of Horizon, aren't they?"
"They seem to get up to some 'mischief' all on their own, but there is a connection," explained Asama.
"So when do you think Horizon will wake up?" asked Kimi.
She and her brother viewed Asama who checked on her sign frame.
"Her request was for another two hours, so I expect she will wake up near the end of the Battle of Nördlingen."
"I see," said Kimi just as Masazumi stepped out of Suzu's Bath.
"Nhh." Masazumi stretched. "Okay, let's get started on the strategy meeting. Is Aoi cooking breakfast?"
"You bet!" said Kimi's brother while everyone began preparing to eat.
The next battle would be starting soon.
"It's Nagabuto this time, foolish brother."
"Judge. And there's Tomoe Gozen too."
He had apparently done some studying this time. While she rewarded him by massaging his head with her chin, the wolf walked over.
She spoke up while helping the others move the benches into place and handing out the baskets brought over from the Blue Thunder.
"Oh, um, my king?"
"Yeah? What is it, Nate?"
"Oh? Should I be here for this?" asked Kimi.
The wolf's eyebrows rose and she smiled as if she had only just noticed.
"That is fine with me. This is not a secret."
After a single nod, she placed a hand on her chest and spoke to her king.
"Congratulations on liberating Kantou, my king."
"Judge," he said with a toothy smile, but the shrine maiden burst out laughing on the other side of the wolf.
"Wh-what was that for, Tomo!?"
"Well, um, that was just such a Mito thing to do."
"Honestly." Mitotsudaira looked back toward Kimi, but with a glare. "And you, Kimi! What is with that 'my, my, my' smile!?"
"It's getting lighter out, but the Azuchi is in the way."
Tokishige listened to Musashi 6th Special Duty Officer Naomasa from atop a mass of metal.
They were below the ridge of southern Bousou where they overlooked the Satomi base. This were on the open slope a bit further down from where their battle had concluded.
They were both seated atop their god of war.
They had not carried them here.
Integrity's weight had caused it to slide down the slope and Jizuri Suzaku had followed after it.
Tokishige had gone almost all the way to the base and asked to have Integrity and Suzaku collected.
She had received treatment for her arm and shoulder injuries then.
"I never imagined I would have a component stolen mid-battle and then lose."
"Has anyone ever told you you have a stubborn personality?"
"No, most of my previous battles were against Yoshiyasu."
The Musashi 6th Special Duty Officer seemed to accept that answer, but it was a mystery what meaning she had taken from it.
Still, she could only blame her own personality for refusing to return to base when Kantou had been liberated and light was returning to the base.
Should she rejoice? Should she argue her case for joining the other side and fighting against them?
Both sides knew the other side had their reasons for what they did. That would be why the Musashi 6th Special Duty Officer had not said anything about it.
But it still bothered her on the inside.
"Just say it however you can."
Fair enough, she decided while pretending to think hard on it.
"I don't like…"
This was something she had been thinking on for a while.
"I don't like how it feels like Satomi has been toyed with by history."
"Isn't that exactly what happened?" The other girl smiled bitterly. "Hashiba comes in and blows up Satomi so Musashi can't have their base in Kantou. And Satomi's Chancellor dies. So you have no choice but to work for Hashiba, but then Musashi shows up and tries to return things to how they were. You probably just wish the world would leave you alone, but Musashi has Yoshiyasu and justice on their side."
"Not 'their' side, 'your' side. Don't act like you aren't a part of this."
"Eh, I prefer staying out of the politics. It's such a pain."
"So you were thinking of it from our point of view?"
"That would be kind of weird."
Before she could ask why, the Musashi 6th Special Duty Officer explained.
"When something's a pain, I always leave it to, or abandon it with, 'them'. I don't mess with it myself. That's how I live my life."
"I hate that."
"Because it means you have people you can trust to deal with it for you."
The Musashi 6th Special Duty Officer looked over at her with eyes wide. That response had clearly come as a surprise. And…
For some reason, she hung her head and held her head in her hands.
Tokishige wondered if she had said the wrong thing.
She was feeling kind of awkward, so…
"Well, sometimes these weird truths hit you in the last way you ever expected. But anyway." The Musashi 6th Special Duty Officer pointed forward. "Look, she's coming."
Tokishige looked over to see a familiar face climbing the slope toward them.
"Yoshiyasu."
Yoshiyasu nodded when Tokishige called her name.
She had already arranged to have Righteousness collected.
She had contacted Houjou to ask what to do about Genan.
…He apparently told them to have him buried here.
He had made the attack while hiding his identity.
That meant he could not return.
She decided to bury him in the spot where he had last seen Houjou and then send his possessions back to his homeland.
While making those arrangements, she had heard Tokishige was waiting for Integrity to be collected.
When she had told Ookubo she wanted to hold a "secret meeting" with Tokishige…
Righteousness: "Is Yagyuu Munenori here?"
■――: "Judge. I am right behind you, Satomi Student Council President."
She had looked back to check.
■――: "Um, could you not turn around out of simple curiosity? It's a simple enough motion for you, but I have to run all the way around you."
Righteousness: "Hm? You don't have to stay behind me, do you?"
■――: "Standing in front of a VIP would obstruct their words."
What a Shinto way of thinking, she realized. But on the other hand…
Righteousness: "What if you need to shield them?"
■――: "I would knock them down from behind. Then I would attack with my hammer."
Righteousness: "Attack the VIP? Yeah, I guess no one can kill them if they're already dead."
■――: "Attack the attacker!"
Oh, yeah. Whoops.
…I hate how accustomed to Musashi's rules I've gotten.
But Yagyuu asked a question about this.
■――: "Satomi Student Council President, is this that kind of person?"
Righteousness: "What kind of person?"
■――: "One you think I should stand guard in front of you for."
That's the real question, thought Yoshiyasu as she climbed the slope.
She knew the land around here quite well. She had walked it and she had viewed it from the air.
She recalled that this person had been with her all that time, and she called out to them.
"Tokishige, you were beaten pretty badly, weren't you?"

Britain's plan to raise minimum wage backed by review
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain's plan to raise the minimum wage to two-thirds of median earnings, taking it to 10.50 pounds ($13.58) an hour, was endorsed by an independent review on Monday that found setting a floor on pay had a negligible effect on job creation.
Companies are now likely to see wage costs rise after next month's snap national election whatever the outcome.
Conservative Finance Minister Sajid Javid said in September he would increase the National Living Wage (NLW) to the new target by 2024, provided economic conditions allowed, and expand its reach to all workers over the age of 21, down from 25 now.
The opposition Labour Party said it would raise the minimum wage to 10 pounds ($12.93) an hour immediately if it wins power.
An independent review commissioned by the government from economics professor Arindrajit Dube of the University of Massachusetts Amherst examined the impact of minimum wages in Germany, the United States, Britain and other countries.
"Based on the overall evidence – with a special emphasis on the recent, high quality, evaluations of the NLW and other more ambitious policies internationally – my report concludes that there is room for exploring a higher NLW in the UK up to two-thirds of the median wage," he said. "It will also be important to empirically evaluate and recalibrate any such ambitious policy based on new evidence down the road."
Javid said, "The evidence is clear that our approach is the right one."
But Labour said Javid's pledge "was an insult to our hard working people".
"It's a derisory offer which people will have to wait years for," Labour's finance spokesman John McDonnell said. "Labour will immediately introduce a real living wage of 10 pounds an hour for everyone 16 and over, outstripping every publicity stunt figure the Tories invent."

Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (* 20. Juni 1786  im nordfranzösischen  Douai; † 23. Juli 1859 in Paris) war eine französische Schriftstellerin, Sängerin und Schauspielerin.

Leben
Marceline Félicité Josèphe Desbordes war die Tochter des erfolgreichen Malers Félix Desbordes und seiner Frau Catherine Lucas. Sie wurde in eine bürgerliche Familie geboren und lebte in der Zeit der Französischen Revolution. Ihre Kindheit war durch die schwierige Lage der Familie gekennzeichnet, da ihr Vater in den Wirren der Revolution mehr und mehr verarmte. Um die finanzielle Situation der Familie zu verbessern, beschloss ihre Mutter, sie im Jahr 1801 mit einem Verwandten in Guadeloupe auf den Antillen zu verkuppeln. Jedoch starb ihre Mutter im Mai 1803, was an der langen Bootsfahrt und am ausgebrochenen Gelbfieber lag. Von Gelbfieber gezeichnet, kehrte auch die 16-jährige Tochter zurück in ihre Heimat, um mit ihrem Vater zu leben.

Desbordes widmete sich der Musik und begann eine Karriere als Sängerin und Schauspielerin. Das Zusammentreffen mit dem belgisch-französischen Komponisten André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry im Jahr 1805 brachte ihr ein Engagement an der Opéra-Comique de Rouen. 1813 wechselte sie ans Odéon, und 1815 spielte sie am Brüsseler Theater La Monnaie die Rolle der "Rosine" im "Barbier von Sevilla". Sie schrieb zunächst auch selbst für die Bühne, war damit aber nicht erfolgreich.

Von 1808 bis 1810 befand sie sich in einer unehelichen Beziehung mit Henri de Latouche, einem Schauspieler und Literaten, mit dem sie eine von Unterbrechungen geprägte, 30-jährige Affäre hatte. Ihr gemeinsamer Sohn starb 1816 im Alter von fünf Jahren. In zweiter Ehe heiratete sie 1817 den Schauspieler Prosper Lanchantin Valmore, mit dem sie auch oft auf der Bühne stand. Von den Misserfolgen ihrer Bühnenwerke geprägt und der daraus resultierenden Armut, war sie gezwungen, ihre Gedichte zu veröffentlichen. Das Paar hatte mit dem Tod von drei von vier Kindern zu kämpfen. Ihr Mann verfolgte eine militärische Karriere, daher musste er mit den Folgen von sieben Jahren Gefangenschaft leben. Da ihr Leben von Trauer geprägt war, nannte man sie auch Notre-Dame-des Pleurs ("Unsere Liebe Frau der Schmerzen").

Bereits 1819 hatte sie mit ihrem Debütband "Élégies et Romances" Erfolg. 1823 kehrte sie der Bühne den Rücken und schuf bis zu ihrem Lebensende weitere Gedichtbände. Werke wie: "Élégies et Poésies nouvelles" (1825), "Poésies" (1830), "Les Pleurs" (1833), "Pauvres fleurs" (1839), "Bouquets et prières" (1843) und  weitere Erzählungen, Prosakurzgeschichten sind Beispiele dafür.

Ihre Werke, besonders die Gedichte, zeigen Desbordes-Valmore als eine außerordentlich gütige, sensible Frau mit einem großen liebenden Herzen, aber auch mit verstörenden Brüchen in ihrem wechselvollen Leben. Die Themen ihrer Gedichte reichen von Mutterschaft – die sie als fast einzige Dichterin poetisch erschloss – über Liebe, Freundschaft, Kindheit, Gott bis zur sozialen Unterdrückung, gegen die sie protestierte, z. B. anlässlich des Aufstands der Seidenweber in Lyon 1831/1834. Ihre Gedichte wurden aufgrund ihres Stils, ihrer Musikalität und der authentischen Emotion geschätzt. Ihr Stil zeugt von Modernität, Originalität und Sensibilität. Aufgrund ihres literarischen Erfolges verlieh man ihr mehrere akademische Preise und eine vom König finanzierte Rente im Wert von 1500 Franc. Charles Baudelaire und Paul Verlaine, dieser von Arthur Rimbaud auf sie aufmerksam gemacht, bewunderten die Innigkeit, Musikalität und Unmittelbarkeit ihrer Poesie. Sie wurde als größte Lyrikerin Frankreichs im neunzehnten Jahrhundert bezeichnet. Nach einem Leben voller Trauer, vieler Verluste im Familien- und Freundeskreis, starb sie 1859 in Paris und hinterließ eine finale Sammlung, die später veröffentlicht wurde.

Zeitliche Einordnung ihrer Werke
Die Romantik ist eine literarische und künstlerische Bewegung, die vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts bis zur ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts andauerte. In dieser Epoche steht die Selbstfindung, die Verwandlung und die Übermittlung von Emotionen und Gefühlen im Mittelpunkt. Wichtige Persönlichkeiten dieser Epoche in Frankreich waren beispielsweise Victor Hugo (1802–1885) und Alphonse de Lamartine (1790–1869). In den Werken von Marceline Desbordes-Valmore spielt der Schmerz, ausgelöst durch ihre vielen Verluste, eine große Rolle. Die Gefühle im Zusammenhang mit ihrer Affäre mit dem Schriftsteller Henri de Latouche werden ebenfalls in ihren Werken sichtbar. Ihr bekanntestes Werk ist eine Gedichtsammlung aus dem Jahr 1860 unter dem Titel "Poésies inédites". Themen wie Liebe, Leidenschaft und Schmerz werden hier besonders deutlich gemacht.

Gedichtanalyse "Les Séparés"
Das Gedicht "Les Séparés", wird als Elegie beschrieben oder als eine Art Klagegedicht, da es inhaltlich ein trauriges Thema behandelt. Die Gefühle der Liebe und des Leidens werden intensiv ausgedrückt und beschrieben. Das Gedicht hat die Form eines Trennungsbriefes, welches durch den Titel "Les Séparés" / "Die Getrennten" bestätigt wird. Die Dichterin wendet sich mit dem Imperativ an ihren Geliebten und fordert ihn damit auf, ihr nicht zurückzuschreiben: "n'écris pas" / "schreib nicht". Dies unterstreicht sie, indem sie am Ende jedes Vierzeilers dies wiederholt und somit deutlich macht, dass es kein Zurück für die Beziehung gibt. Dies setzt sie durch das ganze Gedicht hindurch fort. Des Weiteren macht sie deutlich, dass sie trauert und sterben will: "Je suis triste et je voudrais m'éteindre"/ "Ich bin traurig und möchte zurückziehen". Anhand der Wörter: "m'éteindre" / "zurückziehen", "tombeau" / "Grabmal" und "mourir" / "sterben" wird der Schmerz unterstrichen, und die Liebe wird mit Leid und Tod in Beziehung gesetzt. Der Grund für den Klagebrief, ihrer Beschwerden und Schmerzen, ist die Trennung von ihrem Geliebten, über den sie offensichtlich nicht hinweg ist. Dies wird vor allem in der zweiten Strophe deutlich: "Au fond de ton absence" / "In den Tiefen deiner Abwesenheit". Die Trennung von ihrem Geliebten und seine Abwesenheit lässt sie in tiefe Sehnsucht fallen. Dies wird ebenfalls in der ersten Strophe am "sans toi" / "ohne dich" deutlich. Sie beschreibt ihren Geliebten in der ersten Strophe, anhand einer Metapher, als Licht: "Les beaux étés, sans toi, c'est la nuit sans flambeau" / "Die schönen Sommer ohne dich sind wie die Nächte ohne das Licht". Trotz des Schmerzes, den sie empfindet, erinnert sich die Dichterin an die schönen Zeiten, die sie zuvor hatte, und an die Freude, die sie in ihrer Liebesbeziehung verspürt hatte. Die tiefe Verbundenheit mit dem Geliebten wird durch das "tu m'aimes" / "du liebst mich" und "je t'aimais" / "ich liebte dich" unterstrichen. Sie weiß, dass er sie noch liebt, jedoch spricht sie in der Vergangenheitsform um besser mit der Trennung umgehen und um ihn leichter vergessen zu können. Offensichtlich hinterlässt die Trennung eine große Leere und Lücke in ihr, weshalb sie nicht mehr leben möchte wie zuvor und keinen Sinn in einer weiteren Existenz sieht. Die Liebe im Gedicht wird auf eine widersinnige Art und Weise dargestellt, da sich die Dichterin zwar an schöne Erlebnisse erinnert und diese zurücksehnt, jedoch ist der Schmerz und das Leiden so stark, dass ihr eine Weiterführung der Beziehung nicht erträglich zu sein scheint und zum Tod führen würde.

Cover your ears! Whenever the Tanaka Racing C5R edition Corvette Z06 passes by me on the track, I can actually feel the exhaust note pounding against my chest. As it passes by me, I can sometimes feel the heat from the exhaust gases on my cheek, as tiny rubber particles sprinkle down on me, sticking to my head, my forearms, and all over my clothing – it makes me feel as if I'm being seasoned with salt and pepper or something.
Driven by Conrad Grunewald, a driving instructor from Monterey California (and former driver of the Motorsport Dynamics S14 240SX), the Tanaka Corvette Z06 definitely gets a lot of attention at the track. Even if you're not necessarily a Corvette fan, this 2003 C5R commands attention from you, with the deafening roar of its engine being pushed to its RPM limit as Conrad skilfully manhandles the beast around the course.
This Corvette spews out ridiculous amounts of thick white tire smoke from the rear wheels, and is easily one of the loudest cars in the Formula D Championship. It also looks every bit as aggressive as it sounds – with its big cowl hood and aggressive aero pieces, this isn't your normal Sunday driver Corvette.
Inside the cockpit, the Tanaka Racing team has fitted the car with a host of Autometer gauges and standard safety equipment, like a 350mm steering wheel, racing bucket seats, 3-inch wide racing harnesses, and a custom roll cage with door beams to protect against a side impact.
Let's focus in on the rear of the car for a moment. A GT wing has been added to the rear of the car for downforce, and a bright orange towstrap is sticking out of the rear bodywork to make it easier to tow the car off the track. The big Technosquare logo on the rear of the car lets us know the ECU and chassis development is top notch – Howard and Richie Watanabe from Technosquare in Torrance, California are top notch tuners who have extensive experience in circuit and rally racing… and as an interesting side note, they were an integral part of the development team at Toyota Racing Development when the AE86 was still a new car.
In case you're wondering what tires are being incinerated in the photo, those are (were) Nitto Invo 295/35/ZR18 tires. Yup, that's right. I said 295!!!
Here's a zoomed out view so you can see the whole shot!
Here's what most people were waiting for – the engine info! The engine used in this Corvette is a 427 cubic inch Chevrolet LS6 engine, with a Magnacharger supercharger. The team is only running 2 lbs of boost, so the supercharger should be pretty reliable, even with Conrad beating the car up at the track. This combo makes 650 horsepower to the wheels, with 545 lbs of torque. No wonder this C5R seems to smoke tires so easily!
This photo gives us a look at the front suspension. I was impressed to find out that the Tanaka Racing Corvette is running high end racing coilover suspension – Penske 8700 Series adjustable coilovers to be exact. This isn't your standard run of the mill Tein or JIC stuff you normally find on import cars!
I also thought it was interesting that they were running Japanese coil springs from Swift Engineering, which seem to be extremely popular for drivers in the D1 series because of their consistency in spring rates and ability to make custom springs for many applications.
The huge front tire you can't help but stare at is a Nitto Invo 235/35/ZR18.
I'll be honest here. I'm not the hugest fan of the wheel design on this Corvette – I think it would look cooler with some mesh wheels or some multiple spoke wheels. However, the wheels chosen for the car are Maya RT5 wheels, and check out the sizes! 18×9.5 (+32 offset) up front and 18×10.5 (+53 offset) in the rear. Wow! +53 offset!!!
No matter what, there is no denying the Tanaka Racing C5R's presence on the track at Formula D events. It's one of those cars that screams for your attention – literally, because as it passes by you, you will feel the earth shake underneath your feet, and your ears will just about pop from the loud powerful roar of the engine… and with a driver like Conrad Grunewald behind the wheel, I'm sure this car is destined to attain top rankings in the Formula D series!
Keep an eye out for it! And remember… cover your ears.
Sorry guys....But.....I don't doubt that this car was built great but.....As far as looks goes....It reminds me of someone that went crazy with their J.C Whitney credit card This car would be the shizzle if it where 1992 and the sound system was bumpin' Ugly kid joe. Sorry..just my take. On a positive note..Awesome article and pics Antonio!
I have to agree with Johnathan. This Corvette is just 'blah' to me.
I can't believe you Antonio, among all the SP writers, you picked this Corvette from the bunch. YOU, that offset is everything....c'mon ! The wheels are wack, the offset worse, the rear wing is aluminium.....which reminds me APC cheap product, the body kit is overly bulky and cheap looking.
Then you see Penske coilovers with Swift spring, and Techno Square which probably weld that state-of-the-art roll cage.....and you ask yourself why. This Vette, all it has is power and a load exhaust, driven by a more-than capable peep.
I read on another post here that this car is styled after the C5R but I dotn see it. If they could run the same C5R hood and paint the rear end black I think it would be a step in the right direction.
I just watched that thing race from a few feet away (photo pass) at Irwindale. That car is insane, I like corvettes and I really hate the hood bulge, but there is no way not to be impressed by this car when it lights up at point blank range. You can feel the engine. I do agree that the rims are not the best for the shape.

Q: Why do we need a bean to bean mapper like dozer in a web application In simple terms, why do we need 'a bean to bean mapping service' (like Dozer) in a web-application.
Suppose I'm working on a web-service.

*

*I'm receiving an XML in request.

*I fetch the the values from XML elements.

*Perform the required operation on the fetched values.

*Prepare the response XML.

*Send the response XML as response

Why should I add one more steps of mapping XML elements to own custom elements.
I'm not able to convince myself, probably because I'm not able to think of a better situation/reason.
Please suggest, with example if possible.

A: It helps to reduce coupling between the presentation (i.e. the XML schema) and the business logic. For example in case of schema changes you don't have to touch the business logic, just the mapping between the objects.
In simple cases it might not be worth the additional complexity. But if the objects are used extensively in the business logic component you should consider it.

A: Just as a quick answer, the case you described is not the only one :).
Suppose you are working with an internal library providing some POJO / entity / other beans. You want to abstract from the internal representation (for a reason or anohter), you then want to map those bean to yours. It works :

*

*for ejb client, or somehting like that,

*when you don't want to expose internal entities (Business Object vs Presentation object) (see @Henry's reply)

*you have beans that don't inherit from the same parent (and can't for any reason, even leacy) and you want to tarnsfert value from on to another

There are plenty of (other) reasons :)
As an advice see also orika
and this post :
any tool for java object to object mapping?

A: Short answer for me as henry said it helps reduce coupling between what you expose or consume and your core data model.
It is one way build Hexagonal Architecture. You can freely modify your core model without impacting the exposed model.  In hexagonal architecture, it is used to expose only a small relevant part of the core model.
It is also a very goog way to handle services and model versionning  since multiple versions can be mapped to the core model.
When working with XML services I tend to build contract first application so, I first write the XMLSchema then generate Jaxbeans and I realy don't want my business code to be polluted by JAxb annotations.
If you know that your exposed model will always be the same and that your application does not fall in the previously mentionned cases, so you realy don't need to use DTO.
Last, I would recommend using a framework with strong compile time checking like Selma instead of Dozer or Orika because they are evaluating the mapping only at runtime which is weak typing and sensible to refactoring.


I am working in Windows XP and I have recently set up a Ubuntu Server 12.04 as a guest, using Virtual Box. I want to set up HornetQ (version 2.2.14) to be accessed from the host (WinXP).
Does any one experience this problem? Or do you have any idea about what could be wrong?
Do I have to change anything in the hornetq-beans.xml?
I think you should change the rmi bind address too.
so I guess it may be a problem with connectin to the server via VirtualBox.
I will keep on investigating.
