Die Sinfonie Nr. 70 in D-Dur komponierte Joseph Haydn im Jahr 1779 während seiner Anstellung als Kapellmeister beim Fürsten Nikolaus I. Esterházy.

Allgemeines

Das Autograph der Sinfonie ist verschollen, vermutlich wurde es beim Brand des Theaters von Schloss Esterházy im November 1779 zerstört. Die früheste der Abschriften der Stimmen für die Erste Violine trägt das Datum "779 die 18tn Xbris" (18. Dezember 1779). An diesem Tag fand die Grundsteinlegung für das neue Opernhaus statt. Teilweise wird angenommen, dass die Sinfonie aus diesem Anlass geschrieben wurde und am 18. Dezember 1779 ihre Uraufführung stattfand. Weiterhin beging der Fürst an diesem Tag seinen 65. Geburtstag, was auch als Anlass für eine Aufführung der Sinfonie in Frage kommt. Der Annahme, dass es sich dabei um die Uraufführung handelte, wird entgegengehalten, dass der datierte Stimmensatz offenbar nicht die früheste Abschrift des Werkes ist.

Die Sinfonie Nr. 70 ist durch ihre starke polyphone Arbeit insbesondere im zweiten und vierten Satz gekennzeichnet. Der vierte Satz stellt eine (Tripel-)Fuge dar. Bereits in früheren Sinfonien verwendete Haydn polyphone Mischformen im letzten Satz, z. B. bei Nr. 3, Nr. 13, Nr. 40, später auch bei Nr. 95.

Weiterhin fällt die Sinfonie durch ihre Dur-Moll – Gegensätze auf, insbesondere im Andante. Dieser Kontrast zwischen dem ernsten bzw. "gelehrten" und dem leichten bzw. "galanten" Stil war für die Musik des 18. Jahrhunderts von Bedeutung. Durch ihren hohen musikalischen "Gehalt" hebt sich das Werk von Haydns anderen Sinfonien dieser Zeit, die nach H. C. Robbins Landon schemaartig ähnlich wie "Briefmarken aus einem Automaten" komponiert wurden und eine gewisse Oberflächlichkeit aufweisen, ab.

Zur Musik
Besetzung: Querflöte, zwei Oboen, Fagott, zwei Hörner in D, zwei Trompeten in D, Pauken, zwei Violinen, Viola, Cello, Kontrabass. Über die Beteiligung eines Cembalo-Continuos in Haydns Sinfonien bestehen unterschiedliche Auffassungen. Haydn hatte das Werk zunächst ohne Pauken und Trompeten geschrieben, und in dieser Fassung ging es 1782 auch in Druck. Erst später fügte er die Stimmen für die beiden Instrumente nach.

Aufführungszeit:  ca. 20 Minuten (je nach Einhalten der vorgeschriebenen Wiederholungen).

Bei den hier benutzten Begriffen der Sonatensatzform ist zu berücksichtigen, dass dieses Schema in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts entworfen wurde (siehe dort) und von daher nur mit Einschränkungen auf die Sinfonie Nr. 70 übertragen werden kann. – Die hier vorgenommene Beschreibung Gliederung der Sätze ist als Vorschlag zu verstehen. Je nach Standpunkt sind auch andere Abgrenzungen und Deutungen möglich.

Erster Satz: Vivace von brio
D-Dur, 3/4-Takt, 179 Takte

Der ouvertürenartige, energische Satz beginnt fanfarenartig im Forte-Unisono mit dem achttaktigen Hauptthema im Staccato. Das Hauptthema basiert auf dem D-Dur – Dreiklang, der anfangs einmal mit (Takt 1–2) und einmal ohne (Takt 2–3) Pause gespielt wird. Dabei ist auffällig, dass das Thema abtaktig beginnt, jedoch kann das D bei der Wiederholung des Dreiklangs (drittes Viertel von Takt 2) auch auftaktig zu Takt 3 gehört werden. Das zweite Motiv des Themas ist eine aufsteigende Linie ("Frage", Takt 4–6), die von einer fallenden Linie (Motiv 3, Takt 7–8) beantwortet wird.

Die ersten beiden Motive werden nun piano von den Violinen wiederholt (allerdings um den ersten Eingangsdreiklang verkürzt sowie mit Legato-Einlage), wieder beantwortet von der energischen Schlusswendung (Motiv 3). Die Überleitung (Takt 15 ff.) lässt zunächst den durch die  Pause unterbrochenen Eröffnungsdreiklang in einer Piano-Passage im Dialog zwischen 1. Violinen und Viola / Bass auftreten unter durchlaufender Achtelbegleitung der 2. Violine. Takt 23 wechselt abrupt zu einem Forte-Tutti-Block mit energischer, tremoloartiger Tonrepetition und einer aus Motiv 2 abgeleiteten Wendung mit Akzent auf der ersten Zählzeit, die zunächst in den Violinen, dann auch in den übrigen Instrumenten erscheint. Drei Forteschläge und eine Pause kündigen das zweite Thema an.

Dieses (Takt 43 ff.) steht erwartungsgemäß in der Dominante A-Dur und wird von den Streichern piano vorgetragen. Der Vordersatz greift die abwärts gehenden Intervallschritte (Quarte, Terz) vom Hauptthema  wieder auf, wobei Viola und Bass um einen Viertelschlag später als die Violinen einsetzen. Der Nachsatz bekommt durch die durchgehende Viertelbewegung mehr wiegenden Charakter. In Takt 51 geht die Dreiklangsbewegung dann in einen Forte-Block des ganzen Orchesters über, der den Grundton der Dominante A durch mehrfache Wiederholung mit Akzent energisch betont.

Die Schlussgruppe (Takt 61 ff.) besteht im ersten Teil aus einem sechstaktigen Frage-Antwort – Motiv (fast schon ein Thema), das die Streicher piano spielen und mit Vorschlägen verziert wiederholen. Der zweite Teil stellt sich wieder als dazu kontrastierender Forte-Tutti-Block dar, bei dem die viertaktige Schlussfloskel zunächst in gleichmäßigen Staccato-Vierteln, dann in Achteln aufgelöst gespielt wird.

Die Durchführung (Takt 83 ff.) beginnt unerwartet mit einer vierfachen Unisono-Wiederholung von C. Im eigentlichen Verarbeitungsteil spielen die Streicher versetzt den (von der Pause unterbrochenen) Eröffnungsdreiklang, wobei auf jeder Zählzeit des Taktes ein Instrument einsetzt (dadurch wird der gefühlte Taktschwerpunkt auf der 1. Zählzeit des 3/4-Taktes gelockert). Haydn moduliert in dieser Passage über D-Dur, e-Moll, C-Dur, A-Dur und Fis-Dur nach h-Moll, wo die heftige Bewegung schließlich als Fermate zum Ruhen kommt. Es folgt ein kurzer Überleitungsabschnitt mit klopfender, gleichmäßiger Tonrepetition in den Streichern, der in die Reprise ab Takt 120 mündet.

Die Reprise ist gegenüber der Exposition insgesamt verkürzt (u. a. Fehlen des zweiten Themas) und teilweise verändert: Ab Takt 133 stellt Haydn eine Variante von Motiv 2 des Hauptthemas durch dessen versetzten Einsatz in den Instrumenten hervor. Die Schlussgruppe ist etwas erweitert. Exposition sowie Durchführung und Reprise werden wiederholt.

Zweiter Satz: Specie d´un Canone in Contrapunto doppio. Andante
d-Moll / D-Dur, 2/4-Takt, 130 Takte, Violinen mit Dämpfer

Mögliche Satzgliederung: Variationssatz (Doppelvariation)
 A-Teil (Takt 1–30, d-Moll): Der A-Teil ist dreiteilig aufgebaut (Schema a-b-a´): Zunächst wird das achttaktige Thema, das durch punktierte Rhythmen und Wechsel von Staccato und Legato gekennzeichnet ist, vorgestellt. Ein Kanon im engeren Sinne, wie ihn die Satzüberschrift ("Beispiel eines Kanons im doppelten Kontrapunkt") vermuten lässt, liegt zwar nicht vor. Jedoch sind Hauptstimme (cantus firmus) und Gegenstimme (Kontrapunkt) so gesetzt, dass sie im Abstand einer Oktave miteinander vertauscht werden können: So ist die Hauptstimme in Takt 1–8 in den Violinen, während Viola und Bass den Kontrapunkt spielen. Bei der Themenwiederholung Takt 9–16 spielen 2. Violine und Bass die Hauptstimme, die 1. Violine und Flöte die Gegenstimme (Kontrapunkt). Der zweite Abschnitt besteht aus einer vom bisherigen Material abgeleiteten sechstaktigen Passage (Takt 17–22), auf die als dritter Abschnitt wieder die Hauptstimme mit Kontrapunkt folgt, nun mit Begleitung auch der übrigen Holzbläser (Takt 22–30, Kontrapunkt in der Mittelstimme = 2. Violine + 2. Oboe, neuer Bass zur harmonischen Stabilisierung). Zweiter und dritter Abschnitt werden wiederholt.
 B-Teil (Takt 31–48, D-Dur): Als Kontrast zum vorigen, düster-unheimlichen d-Moll folgt nun ein Abschnitt mit sanglichem Thema in D-Dur, der nicht mehr kontrapunktisch gehalten ist. Ab Takt 41 treten die Bläser zu den Streichern und ergänzen die sonst eher karge Klangfarbe (Violinen mit Dämpfern). Der Abschnitt besteht wiederum aus zwei Teilen, die wiederholt werden.
 A-Teil Variante 1 (Takt 49–82, d-Moll): Zunächst spielen die Streicher die ersten vier Takte der Hauptstimme mit Kontrapunkt. Dann (Takt 53 ff.) wird der Kontrapunkt wiederholt, während die Hauptstimme in Figurationen aufgelöst ist. Diese Figurationen wandern nun auch durch die anderen Instrumente, in Takt 61/62 taucht kurz der Kopf vom Hauptthema in Originalgestalt auf (1. Oboe). Der zweite Abschnitt bringt eine Variante des Sechstakters von Takt 17 ff. In der anschließenden Wiederholung des Themas (dritter Abschnitt) ist die Hauptstimme in der 2. Violine in eine Figuration aufgelöst. Der zweite und dritte Abschnitt werden wiederholt.
 B-Teil Variante 1 (Takt 83–106): stellt eine figurative Variation des B-Teils dar. Besteht wiederum aus zwei Teilen, der zweite Teil wird wiederholt.
 A-Teil Variante 2 (Takt 107–130): "Reprise" des A-Teils vom Satzanfang, jedoch mit chromatischer Variante beim mittleren Sechstakter. Der Satz verhaucht im Pianissimo.

Dritter Satz: Menuett. Allegretto
 D-Dur, 3/4-Takt, mit Trio 62 Takte

Wie der erste Satz macht auch das recht rasche Menuett einen ouvertürenartig-festlichen Eindruck. Kennzeichnend für das auftaktige Hauptmotiv sind drei- und zweifache Tonrepetitionen; weiterhin fallen die Piano-Echos und die Wechsel zu e-Moll (Subdominant-Parallele am Ende des ersten Teils) und zur Subdominante G-Dur (Hauptmotiv zu Beginn des zweiten Teils) auf.

Das sehr melodische ("bittersüße") Trio steht ebenfalls in D-Dur und kontrastiert mit seiner sanglich-weichen Melodie in den Oboen und Streichern (in Gegenbewegung oder parallel geführt) im Piano bis Pianissimo zum Menuett.

Nach dem Trio wird das Menuett wie üblich wiederholt. Anschließend hat Haydn noch einen eigenständigen, abgetrennten und ausdrücklich als Coda bezeichneten Abschnitt angehängt, der das Hauptmotiv vom Menuett nochmals betont, sich dabei jedoch auf den Wechsel von Tonika und Dominante beschränkt.

Vierter Satz: Finale. Allegro con brio
d-Moll, ab Takt 162 D-Dur, 2/2-Takt (alla breve), 194 Takte

Die ersten 26 Takte stellen eine Einleitung zur anschließenden (Tripel-)Fuge dar. Kennzeichnend ist ein Tonrepetitionsmotiv der 1. Violinen in hoher Lage (auf dem dreigestrichenen D), das jeweils unterschiedlich beantwortet wird: Die ersten beiden Male von einer zweitaktigen, schließenden Phrase der übrigen  Streicher in tiefer Lage (davon Nr. 1 in Moll und Nr. 2 in Dur), das dritte Mal ist die Streicher-Antwort auf vier Takte erweitert und endet "offen" auf der Dominante A-Dur. Beim vierten Einsatz wird das Tonrepetitionsmotiv überraschend forte und vom gesamten Orchester (Tutti) unisono gespielt, die zweitaktige, tiefe Streicher-Antwort führt nach g-Moll. In der fünften Variante ist die Antwort auf sechs Takte ausgedehnt (Tonrepetitionsmotiv wie anfangs) und endet wiederum "offen" auf A-Dur, wo die Bewegung in Takt 26 mit einer Fermate zur Ruhe kommt.

Ab Takt 27 beginnt nun die Fuge a 3 Sogetti in Contrapunto doppio (= mit drei Themen in doppeltem Kontrapunkt). Die Streicher machen den Anfang mit der Vorstellung der drei "Themen" (Motive):
 Motiv 1 (zuerst in Takt 27–28 in 2. Violine) mit vierfacher Tonrepetition (an die Tonrepetition der Einleitung erinnernd) und Quinte abwärts, Beginn auf erstem Viertelschlag des Taktes;
 Motiv 2 (zuerst in Takt 27–29 in 1. Violine) mit über den Takt ausgehaltener Note, Achtelschlag, Terz aufwärts und Quinte abwärts, Beginn auf drittem Viertelschlag des Taktes;
 Motiv 3 (zuerst in Takt 37–38 in Viola): mit Figur aus vier Tönen abwärts, dann Sekunde aufwärts, Beginn auf zweitem Viertelschlag des Taktes.

Ab Takt 44 setzt das gesamte Orchester ein. Die Themen werden von den Instrumenten imitatorisch aufgegriffen und in die verschiedensten Tonarten moduliert. Ab Takt 105 wird die Bewegung durch Vorherrschen von Viertelnoten gleichmäßig, dann folgt der für eine Fuge typische Orgelpunkt auf der Dominante (hier A-Dur), wodurch Haydn wieder zur Tonika d-Moll gelangt (Takt 135 ff.). In einem weiteren polyphonen Abschnitt werden die drei Motive dann nochmals verarbeitet (bis Takt 143).

Ab Takt 144 folgt ein Zwischenspiel, das den "Dialog" zwischen hohen und tiefen Streichern aus der Einleitung wieder aufgreift. Einsatz 1 und 2 entsprechen dem der Einleitung. Einen starken, geradezu dramatischen Kontrast bildet im dritten Einsatz die unerwartete Rückung des Tonwiederholungsmotivs im Forte einen Halbtonschritt aufwärts (von D nach Es und dem folgenden Neapolitanischem Sextakkord, Takt 152/153). Die Antwort der Streicher in tiefer Lage ist mit acht Takten nochmals länger als die letzte, sechstaktige Antwort der Einleitung. Auch sie endet "offen" auf der Dominante A-Dur.

Erneut folgt nun ein starker Kontrast in der Klangfarbe: Bis Takt 172 setzt das gesamte Orchester mit den drei Motiven ein, nun aber in strahlendem D-Dur.

Der letzte Abschnitt ist ähnlich wie die Einleitung aufgebaut, wodurch der Satz eine geschlossene Form bekommt. Einsatz 1 und 2 werden wiederholt (beide in Dur). Einsatz 5 besteht nur noch aus dem Tonrepetitionsmotiv: Die 1. Violinen spielen es zweimal, die Antwort in tiefer Lage bleibt jedoch aus. Stattdessen wird das Tonrepetitionsmotiv durch sich selbst beantwortet: bekräftigend im Forte und Unisono.

Purpose. To estimate the height loss in 28 patients who had undergone surgery for scoliosis before skeletal maturity. Methods. 28 women patients aged 11 to 18 (mean, 15) years underwent Harrington instrumentation, segmental sublaminar wiring, and posterior spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis. The patients' mean age at menarche was 13 (range, 10–16) years. Pre- and post-operative radiographs of the spine were taken to determine curve types, the Cobb angle, and the degree of correction. The standing and sitting heights were measured using a flexible steel tape, and the expected standing and sitting heights were derived using formulae. Results. At the final follow up, the mean patient age was 20 (16–32) years. The mean standing height was 155.2 cm and the mean sitting height was 77.4 cm. Using the formulae, the mean expected standing height was 158.4 cm, indicating height loss of 3.2 cm (t=4.6, p=0.0001), and the mean expected sitting height was 79.9 cm, indicating height loss of 2.6 cm (t=3.84, p=0.001). The curve types of the 28 patients were sub-divided as thoracic (n=7), thoracolumbar (n=18), and double major (n=3). Patients with thoracolumbar curves achieved better correction and less loss of standing and sitting heights. Percentage loss of standing and sitting heights were not correlated with the apex of the curve or the degree of correction. Conclusion. Height loss after surgery was acceptable in comparison with height loss associated with progression of scoliosis without surgery.

Not only Kuta or Ubud, Bali also has the charming Gunung Agung (Mount Agung). The Balinese believes that Mount Agung is sacred. This is the highest mountain in Bali. It is about 3.142 meter above sea level. Located in Karangasem district, the climbers around the world (local tourist and overseas) remarked this mountain as the most favourite one to climb.
For Balinese, a cow is a sacred animal. Thus, including the food containing the beefs it must be honored, or cannot be eaten. For the Hindus, a cow bringing the peace and tranquil to the world. So with this reason please do not bring any food or mineral water containing beefs inside it.
The weather is the important aspect for climbing activity, expecially to clim the highest mountain in Bali, Mount Agung. Abort your climbing plan if the rani falling. On the rainy season, the weather at the top of mountain is unpredictable, and of course, danger. The pathway can be very slick.
This is including for the foods and drinking water. From Besakih Temple (where the climb begin), it will need about 7 – 10 hours to reach the top of mountain. Back again to the mountain slope at the hours, so total journey will beed around 15 – 20 hours.
At Mount Agung there are 2 big important temples they are Besakih Temple and Pasar Agung Temple. It is very advised for all climbers to do not climb when there is a ceremony in those temples. This is the way we honor and tolerance with the parish.

India: Deployment of statues at intersections to control traffic
In the southern Indian state of Bangalore, authorities recruited dummies (human statues) in the police, taking extraordinary tactics to deal with traffic violators.
These statues have been worn by the police officers' uniforms, including a hat, white shirt and light-reflecting coat with a police sign on them. These statues have been placed at major intersections with the hope that these drivers Will be inclined to comply with the laws.
Even some statues have been worn with sunglasses and face masks.
About 80 million cars run on the busy highways of India's famous hub for unbridled traffic, and police say they don't have enough meat pack officers to put them on every highway.
Speaking to French news agency AFP, Bangalore Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao said there were 44,000 intersections in the city with traffic lights installed at only 450 intersections. The rest is either monitored manually or seen at all. Does not go
He added that the officers used the tactics to 'hide and seek' by placing sculptures in place of the police so that the drivers could drive properly.
Bangalore is also known as Silicon Valley of India, which has a population of about 30 million people.
In this city, two people die every day as a result of a road accident while from January to November this year, there were 4,2,883 accidents, mainly due to drunk driving, speeding and drivers. Includes ignoring traffic signals from.
According to official data, this year, 50,447 incidents of drunk driving occurred and 57,349 cases of drunk driving occurred.
The model officers received a variety of reactions from passersby, saying some thought it would work for the idea of deploying a dummy, while some praised the police for being slightly different.
One person associated with the garment business said, "It is normal human nature that when looking at a policeman, there is a fear in the heart of a human being that if I am doing something wrong, I will not do it".
On the other hand, a businessman Rohit Kamalkar said it would not work in a country like India.
One technology consultant said that we don't follow the rules when the real police are there, how will it work when they are not moving or running after us?

T-Mobile outage silences boastful upstart, and brings FCC probe
June 16, 2020 at 10:06 am Updated June 16, 2020 at 2:52 pm

T-Mobile US had its first big network meltdown since leapfrogging AT&T to become the No. 2 wireless carrier in the U.S., and the company's response has been uncharacteristically quiet.
As many as 68 million of T-Mobile's wireless customers had their service disrupted for several hours Monday as the company tried to identify the problem and restore service.
The Bellevue-based company said the outage was caused by "router" issues. T-Mobile's parent company, Deutsche Telekom AG, said Tuesday that it was related to 5G network upgrades. But the carrier is still sorting through the chain of events that caused the breakdown and has yet to provide an update. In the meantime, the Federal Communications Commission has vowed to investigate the matter.
It's the first big test for the new company, which absorbed Sprint in April after a two-year battle for regulatory clearance. And it puts the company's new chief executive officer, Mike Sievert, in the spotlight — though, for now, he has yet to comment on the causes of the problem. (He has retweeted remarks from his technology chief and told customers on Monday that he appreciated their patience while the company worked on the issue.)
"The T-Mobile network outage is unacceptable," FCC Chairman Ajit Pai tweeted Monday evening when he announced the agency would launch an investigation. "We're demanding answers — and so are American consumers."
At 1:03 a.m. EDT, T-Mobile's technology head Neville Ray tweeted to say service was fixed.
The timing is especially awkward for T-Mobile, since it just spent two years assuring regulators that joining forces would Sprint would bring a robust network. But it's not uncommon for the FCC to probe outages. Regulators look for ways to prevent future problems and hand out fines for some mishaps.
After a CenturyLink fiber-network outage in December 2018 caused more than 12 million blocked or degraded phone calls and at least 886 dropped calls to 911, the FCC issued a report and didn't fine the company.
As many as 22 million customers in 39 states were affected by the outage, which lasted almost 37 hours and was caused by a malfunctioning switching module, according to the Aug. 19 report. Pai said the FCC planned to reach out to telecom providers to promote best network practices.
The FCC in 2018 settled an investigation into widespread outages of emergency 911 calling for AT&T's wireless customers, saying the company agreed to a $5.25 million fine and changes in its system to reduce the likelihood of outages.
CenturyLink agreed to pay a $400 million civil penalty and enter into a compliance plan after a 911-calling outage in August 2018, when a technician made an error during the course of a routine configuration change.
Anne Veigle, an FCC spokeswoman, said the agency had no comment beyond Pai's Monday evening tweet.
T-Mobile is known for its brash marketing, and Sievert has been a big part of that. As chief marketing officer and later head of operations, he orchestrated the "uncarrier" campaign, which featured no contracts, unlimited data plans and free taco Tuesdays. The promotions helped attract millions of new subscribers.
But now the company has what it wanted — the scale that came with the $26.5 billion Sprint deal — and the pressure is higher to show it can be more than an upstart.

Utah's Gender Wage Gap Utah Home
How Utah's child care shortage impacts the gender wage gap
By Sara Israelsen-Hartley
SHARE How Utah's child care shortage impacts the gender wage gap
Children's Service Society of Utah hosts Provider Appreciation Day at This is the Place State Park in Salt Lake City on Thursday, May 25, 2017. There are potentially more than 152,000 young children who need daily care in Utah, yet the state has only 41,144 slots, according to ChildCareAware.org.
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — In a perfect world, Ashleigh would be able to stay at home and "watch her kids grow up."
But her husband's $14 per hour wage as a foreman/maintenance man isn't enough to make ends meet for the family of four.
Ashleigh, 23, has thought about working at night so she could be home during the day with her 3-year-old and 1-year-old, but it's hard to walk away from her receptionist job that pays $11.50 an hour — a decent wage in Kanab, a small tourism-fueled town nestled on the Utah/Arizona border.
So Ashleigh turns to friends, family members and sometimes friends of friends to watch her kids from 9 to 5, because without a professional child care center in the area, "everybody's always looking for someone," she says. In the last year, her children have been to five different care givers. She asked that her last name not be used because of the personal nature of her comments.
There are potentially more than 152,000 young children who need daily care in Utah, yet the state has only 41,144 slots, according to ChildCareAware.org.
Among Utah parents with a 5-year-old child (66 percent of whom had other children as well), 43 percent say it is difficult to find affordable care, while 30 percent of mothers report that they and/or their spouse adopted a reduced work schedule because of child care issues, a recent survey conducted by the University of Utah's Department of Family and Consumer Studies for the Department of Workforce Services' Office of Child Care shows. The results of the survey will be officially released next month.
When women can't find child care, whether because it's unavailable or unaffordable, some turn to jobs that may pay less but offer greater mothering flexibility, while others leave the workforce entirely, forgoing their current salary as well as future earning potential. Those factors contribute heavily to the gender wage gap, with Utah's being one of the widest in the nation, though the figure requires some explanation. While closing the wage gap will take work on many fronts, experts say a major step would be increasing the availability, affordability and quality of child care.
In Utah, that means recognizing that mothers who want to stay home and raise their children are lucky, because not every mother has that choice, says Katie Ricord, executive director of Utah Association for the Education of Young Children. From there, the conversation can move to ensuring the highest quality care possible, which not only benefits the kids, but elevates the profession and supports the caregivers, who are predominantly female and among the lowest paid employees in the country — another contributing factor to the wage gap.
"Investing in our children is the most important investment we can make," says Cathleen Zick, an economist in the department of Family and Consumer Studies at the University of Utah and associate dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Science. "If we're short-changing our kids, we're shortsighted about what we want the future to be."
Care in Utah
To understand the need for child care in Utah, consider a few numbers:
Fully 59 percent of Utah mothers who have children under age 6 are in the labor force, and there are 108,676 Utah children under age 6 who live in two-parent families where both parents work.
Another 43,803 children under 6 live in single-parent families where mom or dad works.
When parents need help with care, many turn to family or friends, but the rest vie for spots within 319 licensed day care centers and 767 licensed family child care programs, where people are licensed to watch children in their own home, according to the Department of Workforce Service's Office of Child Care.
Yet nearly one in three child care centers and one in five family child care homes has a wait list, say state officials.
Trying to find licensed care for a newborn to 12-month-old child is especially difficult, with wait lists often longer than a year. There are also, as Ashleigh has experienced, child care "deserts" throughout the state: Four counties in Utah have no licensed providers, and another 10 counties offer fewer than 10 licensed providers.
Currently, the kids stay with Ashleigh's mother-in-law three days a week and another woman the other two days.
Even when parents can find care, it's often cost prohibitive.
The average cost for center-based infant care in Utah ranges from $7,000 to more than $9,000 a year, according to Care.com and ChildCareAware.org. Utah is also one of 33 states where the cost for a year of care is more than an average year of college.

In August 2017, Utah helped 6,868 families and 13,063 children by providing child-care subsidies — federal government grants to help low-income families pay for care. Of those families, nearly 93 percent were led by single parents.
The subsidy amount varies based on the number of children and their ages and the parent's salary, and has a work requirement of 15 hours a week.
"I just think there's a misperception that low-income people don't work," says Tracey Gruber, director of the Office of Child Care in the Department of Workforce Services. "They do work, and they need child care, and we are able to help support them in their employment."
Ashleigh would love a child care subsidy and, as a lower-income family, she knows they would qualify. But because everyone in Kanab provides care "under the radar" without state licensure, they aren't eligible to accept subsidy payments.
Usually she pays around $3 per kid per hour for child care — though her mother-in-law tends for free. If finances weren't such an issue, Ashleigh says she'd work part-time, to focus more on her kids and online school — she's leaning toward being an ultrasound technician.
"I want to get a career that will make me more money so I can be home more ... with my kids and actually raise them, not have somebody else raise them," Ashleigh says. "And be able to afford to take them to day care and not have to worry about if we can afford dinner or anything else."
Supporting educators
Elaine Rixe, 51, has loved providing in-home and center-based child care for nearly 20 years, but she's always just relied on her mom intuition and in-the-trenches training from keeping three sons alive to adulthood.
Yet, last September, she and her youngest son started their freshman years together at Salt Lake Community College, where Rixe is studying to get her associate's degree in family and human studies.
Elaine Rixe plays with Logan at the Early Childhood Development Lab School in Taylorsville on Friday, Nov. 3, 2017.
She's one of 24 women on the T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood Utah scholarship at SLCC, a team-funded scholarship aimed at current child care providers to increase their education, compensation and devotion to the child care field, says Ricord with the Utah Association for the Education of Young Children, the group that offers the T.E.A.C.H. scholarship along with support from Utah's Office of Child Care.
While the issue of child care availability looms large in the national discussion, experts emphasize that just opening more slots may not be that helpful — and could even be potentially harmful — unless the care is high quality, and that "high quality doesn't come from having the best play materials, but the most educated staff," says Ricord.
Elaine Rixe laughs as Logan uses a play telephone to call his mother at the Early Childhood Development Lab School in Taylorsville on Friday, Nov. 3, 2017.
Currently, Utah doesn't require child care providers to have any higher education — though some programs independently require a college degree for lead teachers, such as the government-funded Head Start preschools. Without degreed care givers, appropriate developmental teaching may not happen, pay will remain low, and turnover rates stay high, all which lead to poor outcomes for kids.
To remedy that, the T.E.A.C.H scholarship is a debt-free plan in which UAEYC pays 80 percent of a student's tuition and books, plus travel and work-release stipends each week at a cost of roughly $4,000 per student per year.
Rixe's employer, Head Start in West Kearns, pays another 10 percent of her costs, meaning all Rixe has to worry about is 10 percent of tuition and books, plus studying for her English class, which is better than she expected.
She gets a cash bonus from both groups for each year of completed school, and will stay at Head Start for as many years as they support her through school.
This is the second year of a two-year funding grant for the scholarship, which means Ricord is anxiously seeking out new donors. Though the Utah program is small, she'd love to be able to offer the scholarship at any college in Utah, and even expand to students pursuing bachelors and master's degrees in this area.
In Utah there are more than 10,300 child care employees making around $9.40 an hour, says Lecia Parks Langston, a senior economist with the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
That translates to just under $20,000 a year — or $4,600 below the national poverty guidelines for a family of 4.
Rixe knows she's luckier than most, making $15 an hour at Head Start, but it's tough to know the entire field is underpaid.
"I'm not complaining about the pay, I love working with children," she says, "It just seems like such an important position, to be entrusted with these precious littles and the pay is what it is, across the board."
What high quality care can do
It may seem obvious, but children do best — whether in day care or in a home — in safe, clean environments where they can grow cognitively, linguistically, socially, emotionally and morally.
They should feel supported and engaged by the adults around them — "not surprisingly, the basic elements of high-quality child care closely resemble the qualities of good parenting," noted a landmark report from 2000 entitled, "From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development."
This 612-page report emphasized that early environments matter, parents are the most influential adults in a child's life and that high-quality care has life-long effects.
And because so many children have "out-of-home relationships" in paid-care settings, it's crucial to create quality and stability in those environments.
In high quality paid care, teachers are trained, licensed and receive ongoing training. They respond to children kindly, talk and read to them, respect each child's individuality and the values of the child's family. They offer space for children to explore, provide age-appropriate toys and activities and communicate clearly with parents.
The problem is, paid care in the United States is "highly fragmented and characterized by marked variation in quality," the report found.
Low-quality care is especially harmful for boys, who are more affected by low-quality paid care than are girls, yet high quality care can have long-lasting benefits for kids, especially those from at-risk situations.
These findings should resonate in Utah, where demographics are shifting, experts say.
In Utah, nearly one quarter of children are minority children, who are more likely to grow up in single-parent homes or in poverty, says Matthew Weinstein, state priorities partnership director with Voices for Utah Children.
Those are the kids who would benefit the most from high quality child care, but often bear the "burden of poor quality and limited choice," and "whose financial resources are too high to qualify for subsidies yet too low to afford quality care," according to the "From Neurons to Neighborhoods" report.
"This is the worst time to be underinvesting in children in our education system," Weinstein said. "We need to be able to fully integrate these new immigrants, refugees, minority populations so that we'll be able to be competitive, not just today, but 20, 50 years from now."
Hurdles to overcome
Yet convincing folks to invest in child care is still not an easy task, experts say.
"In some states, parents believe you could create a high-quality care situation in an institution or a day care facility for small children," said Erin Holmes, "but I'm not sure how many Utahns believe that."
Holmes, an associate professor of family life at Brigham Young University and mother of three, knows from personal experience and from talking with other female professors that finding high-quality child care, particularly infant care, is a challenge.
She and her colleagues muse that perhaps it's so scarce because families here either don't feel it's needed or don't trust it, and thus aren't willing to invest in creating more high-quality options.
"I think Utah is making progress," said Ann Burghout Austin, director of the Center for Women and Gender at Utah State University and a professor of child development, "but it's very, very slow. The reason why it's slow is there are some very, very conservative (people) that just hang on to the issue that women need to be at home."
Chris Coburn carries Mawuena on his shoulders as children of the Creative Learning Academy attend Provider Appreciation Day hosted by Children's Service Society of Utah at This is the Place State Park in Salt Lake City on Thursday, May 25, 2017. There are potentially more than 152,000 young children who need daily care in Utah, yet the state has only 41,144 slots, according to ChildCareAware.org.
The debate over child care isn't about whether women should stay at home with kids, it's about the fact that a majority of women are working outside the home and need help with care. Yet the idea of women raising kids at home by themselves is a relatively new idea, historians say.
In colonial America, children were raised by both parents, as well as other adults of the community through apprenticeships, care from servants or discipline from the town fathers, making the "socialization of children ... a widely shared task," writes Jodi Vandenberg-Daves, a professor of women's studies and history at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in her book "Modern Motherhood: An American History."
However, by the early 19th century and following the Second Great Awakening, women became seen as the morally superior sex, and thus more adept at raising children, Vandenberg-Daves wrote.
As work shifted from farms to factories and men went into the cities while women stayed home, motherhood developed an identity and the home became a "private sanctuary" where mothers were to selflessly raise children, she says.
However, among single mothers and women too poor to stay home, those without kin networks turned to paid care while they worked.
"We've long considered child care to be ... a place where, 'Oh, those poor mothers who have to work, their children are stuck there,'" Vandenberg-Daves told the Deseret News. "That's the origin of American child care. It had a stigma from the beginning ... and it's never fully outgrown that."
Taylor White said she feels like a "second-class citizen" because of her decision to work and rely on child care for her twin 3-year-old girls.
"The gold standard is to stay home and raise the kids," says White, 29, a self-proclaimed workaholic and earned media manager for Progexion, a credit repair company in Salt Lake City. "And not just have someone stay home — it's the mom."
Lina Martinez speaks to the children who attend the daycare in her Taylorsville home at Provider Appreciation Day hosted by Children's Service Society of Utah at This is the Place State Park in Salt Lake City on Thursday, May 25, 2017. Martinez is is one of the 10,300 child care employees in the state of Utah.
And until a few months ago, White did, working from home and alternating with her husband and his flexible nursing schedule to be home with their daughters. White knows they were lucky to pull it off for so long, but a recent job change necessitated a care change for the girls.
During the summer and holiday breaks, Erica Brown's two daughters, 9 and 6, attend a child-care facility at her husband's work in North Salt Lake, but she intentionally uses the word "school" instead of "day care" so she is "less judged."
"People say things like, 'I would NEVER put my kids in day care,'" says Brown, 38, who works as vice president of marketing at Thanksgiving Point Institute. "It's not like it's a dungeon. They have finger paints, cool songs, they have a playground — it's great."
And word choice matters. Experts encourage terms like "child care" or "early childhood education" instead of "day care," which can sound more like babysitting and fails to fully represent what high-quality care can offer.
"One thing that I think could be really beautiful is if we focused less attention on the parent's decisions about employment and more attention on what we think children need to develop well," says BYU's Holmes. "Because if we can focus our attention instead on what children need to develop well, I think we might come to some different conclusions about what we're willing to invest in children."

January is its own beast. Raising money and cute hashtags are no longer enough. To wear the calendar hook badge of honour, one must make month long pledges and survive the longest, dreariest month, without some of the usual vices that get us through. So, congratulations to those of you who've mastered their vegan fare while gulping mug after mug of non-alcoholic, herbal tea and crossing the 71st of January (or was it only the 17th?) off the calendar. One can only assume that it was the impending arrival of the first, and arguably most intriguing, of the vinous calendar celebrations that got you through such a feat, 'Furmint February'.
There are a few reasons we feel genuine excitement and interest towards Furmint February here at González Byass. The most obvious being our stellar partnership with globally acclaimed Disznókő Estate who you'll read more about shortly. Secondly, there's a real sense of purpose behind this promotion. Not to cast shade on the likes of Sauvignon Blanc day, but there's a certain feeling of pride in taking part in championing a grape variety with such a rich history and remarkable complexity that deserves nothing more than to be recognised and enjoyed in its myriad of styles by the UK consumer, yet currently sits somewhat under the radar.
One of the most admirable traits of Furmint's most recognised home, the Tokaj region, and Wines of Hungary who promote them, is their forward-thinking nature. Factors such as climate change and evolving consumer tastes and trends keep the best of Tokaj's producers working to showcase the very best of what furmint is capable of in a way that's both relevant and pioneering, while working tirelessly to produce the luxuriously complex and rich wines that the royal families of Europe once named the 'Wine of Kings, King of Wines'.
Officially declared a first growth in 1732, Disznókő is, for lack of a better phrase, the King of the King of Wines! The infamous fall of the communist era led to a great period of investment from replanting of vines through to a state-of-the-art winemaking facility. With the region being declared a World Heritage Site in 2002 and Disznókő winning the 'Winery of the Year' award in Hungary, the winery's most recent history is certainly living up to its royal past.
Disznókő is one of the only estates in Tokaj with just one, single tract of land. 150 hectares with the winery nestled amongst its vines, every Disznókő wine produced comes from this plot. Each year's fruit starts its life in the most favourable of locations. Waking up to an altitude of 220m above sea level may not seem grand on a global scale, but the vines are planted on steep terraces which rise well above the Great Hungarian Plain, breathing in the beauty of the panorama that surrounds. A cool, misty start to autumnal mornings is followed by long afternoons of basking in glorious sun. Early to bud and late to ripen, the Furmint grapes enjoy sufficient time to develop their famed concentration and complexity.
With its thick skins, naturally high acidity, and strong sugar levels, Furmint truly is the perfect host for the fickle Noble Rot. When botrytis takes hold, these characteristics allow for the development of the sumptuous, honeyed marmalade layer that overlays a backbone of pure fruit character from the grapes. The jigsaw of unique volcanic soils of the region are held responsible for the crisp minerality and powerful balancing acidity that make the sweet wines of Disznókő so truly special.
These characteristics also bring a challenge to the production of wines of a dry style. But as we are told, with every challenge comes opportunity, and through meticulous attention to detail of ripeness and careful handling and vinification, the Furmint grape can produce dry white wines that begin life as fresh and full of life, bursting with fruits and screaming out for seafood, which later develop to have the character depth and flavour intricacy that can rival some of the greatest dry whites in the world.
The life of a Furmint grape at Disznókő is somewhat like one of those 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books. The grapes are treated so individually that they can take one of many paths depending on the level of their development at any given time. Healthy grapes are first selected for the dry wines, with development closely monitored on each vine for the remaining grapes to determine if they'll be suited for a late harvest wine or remain on the vine until transformed completely into the famed aszú berry.
The 2020 Disznókő Dry Furmint is brimming with ripe autumnal apples and pears. Fully hand-harvested from three pickings which were vinified separately, this Furmint is truly a labour of love! The grapes were pressed without destemming and fermented in stainless steel. Batches underwent malolactic fermentation for depth and weight to balance the crisp minerality and bright fruit character.
The 2018 Disznókő Dry Inspiration has a portion of Hárslevelű added. More experimentation takes place using different yeasts, and fermentation occurs in 225 – 500L barrels, 2-5 years old, followed by a further 6 months aging in barrel. This wine captures the depth of flavour and complexity capable from Furmint. Autumnal orchard flavours are met with ripe stone fruits. The palate is a lot broader, with a richer, lusher mouthfeel. Acidity cuts through to bring balance and well-integrated oak character adds yet another layer of intricate flavour.
Moving to a later harvest, the 1413 Tokaji (Édes Szamorodni) was harvested by hand and the Aszú berries removed. Full bunch pressed with stems remaining, fermentation was mostly in stainless steel with a small portion in small barriques. A year of aging in 225L oak for further development. Disznókő set themselves apart with the purity of fruit across their whole range, and the 2015 vintage of this wine is no different.
The story behind the harvest of the 2012 Disznókő Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos perfectly captures the twists and turns involved in Tokaji production. Starting as a hot, dry summer with early ripening, the aszú berries and accompanying botrytis developed slowly. Focus turned to the harvest for the dry wines to ensure maximum freshness to balance the ripeness of the fruit. Quickly the tables turned, and high humidity hit. The botrytis settled in quantities not seen in recent times, completely dusting the berries which remained juicy rather than dry due to the humid conditions. Each berry was carefully picked and stored in stainless steel until the grapes for the base must were ready. The wine spent 27 months in oak (20% new) and was finally bottled in June 2015. This wine is bright gold in colour. Fine white fruits, peach aromas and floral notes meld together with threads of vanilla and leather. Rich and creamy on the palate balanced by well-rounded acidity, the purity of the fruit sings through a long, persistent finish.

Disznókő will be represented at this years Furmint February events.

Wood burning stoves in literature, the meaning of fire, and the silences in between (Part 1).
I suppose if you're a car dealer you experience an extra frisson at the point in Goldfinger when Bond leaps into his Bentley to give chase to Drax's Mercedes, and that vets parse James Herriott's books with a particularly incisive eye, and that if you work at Ann Summers then Fifty Shades must read like a trade catalogue, but for the wood burning bibliophile, there is a disappointingly meagre smattering of trade-related arcana in the world of literature. This seems surprising given how central fire is to humanity's existence and persistence, and you certainly might expect to find one, for instance, in the thousand-plus semi-frozen pages of 'War and Peace', yet perhaps its very ubiquity disqualifies it from mention.
You also can't help feeling that, as a man who has traversed mountain ranges and continents in solitude and on foot, Tesson has grown so accustomed to hardship that he can't help inflicting it on himself and others, which sometimes stretches your sympathy with his occasional loneliness and heartbreak. His writing style is declaratory; in the French style, he tells rather than shows.
He extrapolates from his own experience and dares you to challenge the validity of his opinions. While you can easily pick holes in his more didactic assertions, often, in the spaces in between, a luminous elegance shines through.
Tesson is never in any real danger, nor does he have to live in anything that to an outdoorsman could be called discomfort, and, in the end, he leaves the impression of having glided through his 'gap year' with a subtly expanded spiritual vocabulary and a remarkable absence of emotional scar tissue.

Mia Michelle fell in love with the world of books the very first time she stepped inside of her small hometown library. Growing up, she loved to spend time losing herself in the world of make believe by creating her own imaginative stories. The gift of a leather journal for her eighth birthday inspired her dream of one day becoming a writer. Though she kept most of her writing private over the years, a childhood best friend read the first draft of Rose of Thorne and encouraged her to take the leap of faith to bring her dream to life.
Mia fully admits to having a hopeless infatuation with her Kindle, and suffers from a one-click book addiction. (No intervention required). When she isn't shuttling her two kids between cheerleading and football practice, or folding a massive pile of laundry, she can be found curled up in her favorite cozy chair with a pen in one hand and an adult beverage in the other.
Mia currently resides in a quaint little southern town in Tennessee with her husband, two children, and fur baby.

Review by Tara - 5 stars
This book has me feeling all giddy and stuff! It's not too often that the I get the chance to read a book with a bad ass leading lady, but Chelle Bliss gave me that in Acquisition.
"It didn't matter that I was a woman in a male-dominated industry, the only limitations I had were those that others had placed on me, underestimating my drive and determination to reach the top."
Proving to the world that women are brilliant and strong, Lauren follows her dreams and runs Interstellar, a leading company in aerodynamics. Wanting to make herself and her dad proud, Lauren has pushed away anything in her life that doesn't involve work. Upon meeting a sexy stranger one night in a bar, Lauren is whisked away with the possibilities of what life could really be like. Antonio is the best at what he does, running a top company and seducing women. When he meets Elizabeth by chance, he realizes he'll stop at nothing to get her. But when chance meetings lead to impossible hopes and dreams, can these lost souls find the happiness and peace they are searching for?
"The door opens with a loud creak, but I still don't dare look. Heavy footsteps move closer and grow louder as he approaches. I will not die. I won't give in. I have to fight."
Acquisition is an amazing book! I could not put it down. Filled with so much heart, Chelle really shows us that this book is what everyone should be reading! Heat, passion, broken dreams and drama, Acquisition is more than I expected...it's out of this world!

Tara's 5**** Review
"I think about how I'm going to right the wrongs of my ancestors and how I'm going to somehow ensure that no matter who or what you are, you've got a place in Faerie or wherever else you'd like to be."
Graceley is killing me with suspense!! I just finished reading Throne of Secrets and my mind is still spinning, trying to process what I just read.
"My heartbeat picks up speed but I don't falter in my stride. I came here to shed some light on long-kept secrets. There's no turning back now. Let the dance begin."
Ever and Dare return to us in this high energy, extremely imaginative story. Learning to work together, this duo and their teams, join forces with other realms and worlds to put an end to a damning prophecy involving Ever. When calm erupts into chaos, and the lives of the two groups are tested, Graceley doesn't hold back with the action and suspense that she is so great at writing!!
"I told him that he'd end up breaking my heart and I was right. But what I didn't know was that he'd be the one to piece it back together and help me protect it."
I can't say enough good things about Graceley and the Throne Of Secrets! So entertaining, attention grabbing, breath holding and hair pulling good, the Throne of Secrets is a perfect follow up to Mark of Truth and Crown of Betrayal. If you like taking a break from reality, Throne of Secrets is for you!
**Release Day Blitz** Ride or Die #2 A Devil's Highwaymen MC Novel by Cee Cee Riley
Ride or Die #2
A Devil's Highwaymen MC Novel
Love can either destroy you, or bring you back to life.
Dom, Casa & Harlow
Casa only cares for two things in this life: his club—the Devil's Highwaymen—and sex. That is until he meets Harlow. She's feisty, passionate, and doesn't fall for his usual charms. She's perfect for him…but she belongs to someone else.
Harlow is broken; she has been for a long time. With nowhere to go, and worse, no one to go to, she's become a clubslut for the West Side Bangers. That is until a chance meeting with her old friend and former lover, Dom, brings their worlds colliding together once more.
Dom is on a one-way train to hell; the guilt of losing his soulmate is killing him—but he can't tell anyone about it. That is until he finds a brief respite from his suffering in the form of Harlow, the woman whose heart he once broke.
With all three set on their own self-destructive paths, they've only got one chance to make things right—but only if they can learn to forgive, and then to love again.
The funny thing about love is, it's both painless and painful, and not even death can end the suffering.

It's a funny thing that when someone offers to pay you to work on something, they tend to want to know what you're up to. I did tell Owen over at Barquin that I could get the whole thing wrapped up from a beach in St. Tropez and that I'd be back in three or four months, but I could sense that the idea didn't go down too well.
So we need a bit more visibility, we need it to be clear where we're going and what we need to do to get there. Of course we need this anyway, to make it easier for folk to contribute to the project. We need to blow the cobwebs off our trusty Hobo Lighthouse.
Tis done! head over there and see how neat and tidy it all is : ) And if you think you'll be keeping an eye on the tickets, and maybe even filing your own now and then, be sure to read the home page which explains how we're organising the tickets.
The idea is that we'll track pretty much everything as tickets, not just bugs and feature-requests, but bigger to-do items such as testing tasks and documentation that needs to be written. I'm not sure everything like that is in there right now, but most of it is.
In other news, we're long overdue a release. This one is going to be 0.8 because it's got some cool new features. I was hoping to get it released this week but that looks a bit doubtful now. I see that I've got 28 open tickets so I better get cracking!

Transcriptome Analysis of IL-10-stimulated (M2c) Macrophages by Next-generation Sequencing
Lurier, E.B., Dalton, D., Dampier, W., Raman, P., Nassiri, S., Ferraro, N.M., Rajagopalan, R., Sarmady, M. and Spiller, K.L.
Alternatively activated "M2" macrophages are believed to function during late stages of wound healing, behaving in an anti-inflammatory manner to mediate the resolution of the pro-inflammatory response caused by "M1" macrophages. However, the differences between two main subtypes of M2 macrophages, namely interleukin-4 (IL-4)-stimulated "M2a" macrophages and IL-10-stimulated "M2c" macrophages, are not well understood. M2a macrophages are characterized by their ability to inhibit inflammation and contribute to the stabilization of angiogenesis. However, the role and temporal profile of M2c macrophages in wound healing are not known. Therefore, we performed next generation sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify biological functions and gene expression signatures of macrophages polarized in vitro with IL-10 to the M2c phenotype in comparison to M1 and M2a macrophages and an unactivated control (M0). We then explored the expression of these gene signatures in a publicly available data set of human wound healing. RNA-seq analysis showed that hundreds of genes were upregulated in M2c macrophages compared to the M0 control, with thousands of alternative splicing events. Following validation by Nanostring, 39 genes were found to be upregulated by M2c macrophages compared to the M0 control, and 17 genes were significantly upregulated relative to the M0, M1, and M2a phenotypes (using an adjusted p-value cutoff of 0.05 and fold change cutoff of 1.5). Many of the identified M2c-specific genes are associated with angiogenesis, matrix remodeling, and phagocytosis, including CD163, MMP8, TIMP1, VCAN, SERPINA1, MARCO, PLOD2, PCOCLE2 and F5. Analysis of the macrophage-conditioned media for secretion of matrix-remodeling proteins showed that M2c macrophages secreted higher levels of MMP7, MMP8, and TIMP1 compared to the other phenotypes. Interestingly, temporal gene expression analysis of a publicly available microarray data set of human wound healing showed that M2c-related genes were upregulated at early times after injury, similar to M1-related genes, while M2a-related genes appeared at later stages or were downregulated after injury. While further studies are required to confirm the timing and role of M2c macrophages in vivo, these results suggest that M2c macrophages may function at early stages of wound healing. Identification of markers of the M2c phenotype will allow more detailed investigations into the role of M2c macrophages in vivo.

Q: normal subgroups VS Ideal(commutative) Let the $G$ is a abelian group and $R$ is a commutative Ring
Say subgroup $H (\le G)$ and subring  $S(\le R)$
It is trivial that H is the normal subgroup of the G
But Does S the ideal of the R? (I couldn't find any examples.)
If not, what condition we need that S is a ideal of the R?

A: Hint: $\mathbb{Z}$ is a subring of $\mathbb{Q}$ but not an ideal.

A: You can also take diagonals. You always have the subring $\Delta_R = \lbrace (r,r) \mid r \in R \rbrace \subset R^2$, which is never an ideal except for $R = 0$ as you can multiply $(1,1)$ by $(1,0)$ then (for me a ring is a commutative unitary ring btw.).

Life at camping Le Polleur is… one big adventure! This small scale family campsite is in the middle of the lush, green Polleur woods, the ideal location for outdoor activities. Take a thrilling trip through the tree top adventure park, jump in a kayak or break speed records abseiling. The smallest daredevils zip around the campsite on rented go carts or have a splashing good time in the heated kids pool!
Le Polleur is a real family campsite. For the kids: animation, fun in the water, playgrounds and activities like hexathlons. For mum and dad: Belgium beer tasting evenings. Teens test their powers on the sports field or get ready for a night out at the disco.
The Le Polleur swimming pool is heated. So is the toddler pool. Who 's first on the 32 metre long slide?
Kids have a blast here. Doing arts and crafts, playing in the pool, with interactive theatre, racing go karts and lots more!
Are you up for a real adventure? Then this campsite in the Ardennes could well be your dream destination! Take your pick from over 35 outdoor activities. Abseiling, kayaking, mountain biking, riding quads, clambering in the tree top adventure park… or adventure walking with a compass, map and exciting missions. Do you and your kids fancy a challenge? Simply organize your activities at the campsite reception.
After all those activities it's time to relax on the terrace with a delicious glass of Belgium abbey beer. Mmmmm. Since you're already comfortably seated, why not tuck into a tasty piece of chicken, fish or satay. The spaghetti bolognese and pizza margarita are pretty good too!
Want to enjoy breakfast or lunch with your family by your mobile home? Order your fresh bread the day before from the campsite mini market!
"The family campsite for outdoor adventurers! With a survival course next to the campsite and lots of possibilities for hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and quad riding close by. It's the best way to discover the Ardennes!"
Trees to your left. Trees to your right. With a survival course right by the campsite. You're in the heart of some lovely countryside here. There's also plenty to discover in the area, such as the town of Spa, famed for its mineral water, the city of Liège and the rural and historical town of Theux. Start planning those day trips!
Outdoor adventures are a must do here! Scale great heights in the tree top adventure park, jump on a mountain bike or go on an exciting GPS tour. You'll find everything you need available at the campsite, including directions.
Take a breather and chill by the brook. Relax on a beach towel with a good book and a picnic, while your kids play in the shallow, lapping water.
There's a lot of fun in store for the children! Kids amusement park Plopsa Coo is 30 minutes away. Phantasialand amusement park with its rides for both young and older kids is an hour away. Also just 60 minutes away, GaiaZOO, Plenty of fun for the whole family.
Well worth a visit and just 15 minutes away: the Remouchamps caves. There's a spectacular underground walk and boat ride. Fancy seeing some wild animals close by? Head for safari park Le Monde Sauvage, just 4km away and spot hippos, antelopes and pelicans. Tip: tickets for these trips are cheaper when bought at the campsite.
Any racing fans with you on holiday? There's a go kart track nearby for kids from 8 years old and for adults.
Some more tips: the city of Liège and its historical districts, the little town of Spa with its many shops and famous mineral springs and the village of Theux with the fascinating ruins of the medieval Franchimont castle.

Q: WebScrape - Python/Selenium My code goes into a webpage and I want to scrape the href/HTML of each listing within this webpage.
(This code goes to a website which has 2)
I tried xpath, and beautifulSoup but it returns an empty list for me.
Here is the code-
import time
from selenium import webdriver
import pandas as pd
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import pandas as pd

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
bracket=[]
driver.get('https://casehippo.com/spa/symposium/national-kidney-foundation-2021-spring-clinical-meetings/event/gallery/?search=Patiromer')
time.sleep(3)
page_source = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
eachRow=driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('symposium')
print(eachRow.text)

A: I just ran the code what you provided, BeautifulSoup set soup variable with all page source successfully:
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')

and in the next line:
eachRow=driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('symposium')

exception has been raised with message:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"partial link text","selector":"symposium"}

seems like you're using incorrect selector, try to use, somethink like:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@class='title ng-binding']")

code what i'm using:
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

try:
    bracket = []
    driver.get(
        'https://casehippo.com/spa/symposium/national-kidney-foundation-2021-spring-clinical-meetings/event/gallery/?search=Patiromer')
    time.sleep(3)
    page_source = driver.page_source
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
    print(soup)
    element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@class='title ng-binding']")
    print(element.get_attribute('href'))
    elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[@class='title ng-binding']")
    for el in elements:
       print(el.get_attribute('href'))
finally:
    driver.quit()

A: Updated code:
import time
from selenium import webdriver
import pandas as pd
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import pandas as pd

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
bracket=[]
driver.get('https://casehippo.com/spa/symposium/national-kidney-foundation-2021-spring-clinical-meetings/event/gallery/?search=Patiromer')
time.sleep(3)
page_source = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
eachRow=driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[contains(@ui-sref,'symposium')]")
for row in eachRow:
    print(row.text)

You need to use find_elements (not find_element) if there are more than one, and then iterate over them to see their values.  Also partial text wont work because the symposium text is embedded in another element, its not regular text, so xpath is needed

What Five-Letter Words Contain The Letters D, A, B, B, U, E?
Robin Burden answered
As far as I can tell, there is only one five letter word that you can make from the above letters: Daube - which is a type of French stew made from braised beef (usually the shoulder and neck of a bull).
Words you can make with the letters D, A, B, B, U, E.
Although there are no other five-letter words that you can make using the above characters, there is a six-letter word hidden among them: Bedaub.
Bedaub basically means to smear or soil an object with a sticky substance.
If you're looking for a short-cut to figure out which words you can make using a particular group of letters, I'd suggest you use a program known as an anagrammer (a play on the word 'anagram').
www.anagrammer.com/scrabble is a good example of an anagrammer program and, as you can probably tell from the URL, is often used as a cheat-site for people who are struggling with a game of Scrabble.
By typing the letters D, A, B, B, U, E into this program, the following list of matching words emerges:
DAUBE
BEDU
BAUD
Oddman answered
These 5-letter words use letters only on your list, though in different numbers than they appear on your list: "added", "baaed", "duded", "ebbed".
My dictionary does not contain any 5-letter words formed from 5 of the letters on your list.
The word "bedaub" uses all of the letters on your list.

Q: Does $\left(\prod_iM_i\right)/\left(\prod_iS_i\right)\cong \prod_{i\in I}\left(M_i/S_i\right)$ hold for modules? Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $\{M_i\}_{i\in I}$ a family of $R$-modules and $\{S_i\subseteq M_i\}_{i\in I}$ be a family of $R$-submodules.   Does the following hold true $$\left(\prod_iM_i\right)/\left(\prod_iS_i\right)\cong \prod_{i\in I}\left(M_i/S_i\right)?$$ Where $\prod_{i\in I}M_i$ is a direct product of modules.  Is there a documented Reference in a Text Book/or Published Paper for this isomorphism.
I have a reference for this isomorphism for direct summands in (Advanced Modern Algebra, Part 1 by Joseph J. Rotman (Proposition B-2.20)). That is, $$\left(\bigoplus_iM_i\right)/\left(\bigoplus_iS_i\right)\cong \bigoplus_{i\in I}\left(M_i/S_i\right).$$  However, I don't have any reference for direct products other than (Modifying $\frac{\prod_\alpha A_\alpha}{\prod_\alpha B_\alpha}\simeq \prod_\alpha\frac{A_\alpha}{B_\alpha}$ for direct sums)!

Severe earthquakes can strike suddenly, violently and without warning. It is estimated that approximately 500,000 earthquakes occur each year, detectable with current instrumentation. About 100,000 of these can be felt. Minor earthquakes occur nearly constantly around the world, including places like California and Alaska in the United States. Advanced planning can reduce the dangers of serious injury or loss of life from an earthquake. Are you prepared?
Generally, properties subject to floods are already in a flood plain and carry separate flood insurance. However, any property is subject to flooding given enough water in an area. Heavy thunderstorms, drought followed by water or the melting of winter snow can produce a fast or slow-rising flood. Flash floods are generally sudden and without warning, with walls of water up to 10-20 feet. Cars can be swept away. Be prepared.
Floods are one of the most common and widespread of all disasters, and continue to grow in frequency and severity. Even if your business is above sea-level, it is important to remember that where it rains, it can flood. Businesses are more likely to flood than burn down, so it is essential to prepare now so you are ready if your business is flooded. View our Flood Preparation Checklist to help keep your business operations active even if the worst happens.
Hurricanes and tropical storms can lead to loss of life and devastation to property. Flash flooding from rainfall, storm surges and high winds are the major hazards that result from tropical cyclones. The consequences of this weather ranges from toppled trees to damage to buildings and equipment to bodily injury and even death of people in the storm's path. This checklist provides a good start towards preparing and better protecting your business and your employees.
