Reviews / Kawasaki / 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R Unveiled
2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R Unveiled
The wraps come off the baddest Ninja yet!
By Kevin Duke Oct. 05, 2010
Photos by Kawasaki and Duke
We've seen it, sat on it, and heard it run! Kawasaki has unleashed a potent new literbike weapon in the form of the 2011 ZX-10R.
This is not a warmed-over version of the existing 10R – it's a ground-up redesign with virtually zero carry-over parts. More power and less weight (22 lbs is the target) are naturally part of the package, but less expected is a new traction-control system that is claimed to be the most sophisticated on the market and comes as standard equipment.
The result is a bike said to be a huge 2 seconds quicker around Autopolis than the 2010 edition in back-to-back testing on identical tires on the same day. This indicates it has the potential to turn better lap times than its literbike competitors.
The Ninja's list of new technology is a lengthy one, so we'll go through all the detail changes in categories.
S-KTRC (Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control)
With S-KTRC, Kawasaki becomes the first Japanese manufacturer to deliver a race-bred traction-control system to the masses. As an evolution from what was learned on the MotoGP stage, Kawasaki points out that this traction-control system has been developed "to help riders push harder on the track by maximizing acceleration."
Whereas the KTRC on the Concours 14 is designed primarily for safety, the S-KTRC helps reduce lap times by allowing a certain amount of slip before intervening. As long as "effective traction" is maintained, the TC will still allow power slides and wheelies.
Wheel-speed sensors are a key component of OEM TC systems, but S-KTRC does without an accelerometer (Ducati) or a gyro bank-angle input (BMW). The Kawi system (in development for five years) uses a Mitsubishi ECU to monitor engine speed, throttle position, acceleration rate and comparative wheel speeds to judge the bike's slip angle, retarding ignition timing if the tires need to be reined back in. Data points are examined an incredible 200 times per second! By doing without accelerometer or bank-angle sensors, S-KTRC has no fixed maps, so the TC is able to adapt to modifications like exhaust systems or engine tweaks.
Kawasaki claims its TC system is so sophisticated that it can predict when traction conditions "are about to become unfavorable," so it can engage mildly before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction, minimizing harsh intervention.
Three levels of TC can be dialed in from handlebar switchgear, even while moving, and it can be switched off (while stopped) if you're especially brave. Your chosen TC setting is stored in memory – like the Ronco Rotisserie, just set it and forget it!
The bottom of the new gauge pack has a 7-section bar-graph display showing the amount of TC intervention. Jeff Herzog, Kawasaki's senior media relations coordinator and a former racer, said he saw only one bar light up during a full-throttle corner exit over a racetrack's curb. "You'll be amazed how often you'll be able to use full throttle," he says.
All-New Powerplant
With BMW's S1000RR blowing away the competition in terms of horsepower, Kawasaki has a lofty target to reach.
Despite what you may have read elsewhere, the new 10R does not have a big-bang firing order, nor horizontal cylinders or variable valve timing. Nevertheless, this is sure to be a potent Japanese literbike engine. The focus was to increase power throughout the midrange to make it more manageable in a variety of conditions.
Kawasaki has reconfigured its inline-Four layout by moving the clutch's input shaft much higher than previous. This enabled the crankshaft to be raised slightly, further moving the center of mass higher. Contrary to popular belief, a lower CoG isn't always desirable on a motorcycle, and Kawi claims improved mass centralization and the higher spinning mass provides greater agility.
To squeeze out maximum power, engineers at Team K offset the connecting rod centerline 2mm toward the exhaust side from the bore center. This places less lateral loads on the pistons, reducing power loss due to friction. This process requires labor-intensive torque plates to bore the cylinders accurately.
The crankshaft is now made of a harder material to handle big power. New short-skirt pistons are lighter by nearly 6 grams, offset by stronger con-rods that add about 20 grams but help damp vibration. A single-shaft secondary balancer is said to have its vibration-damping parts simplified for less weight, yet it works well enough to enable the size of the handlebar weights to be reduced, contributing to improved steering response.
Much work was put into the new cylinder head, including 1mm larger titanium intake valves and wider intake ports with a polished finish for smooth flow. Diameters of the titanium exhaust valves remain unchanged, but the exhaust port layout is completely new. New camshafts offer increased lift on both the intake and exhaust sides, and they have changed from cast-iron construction to chromoly steel with a lapping treatment said to offer increased durability and to allow stronger valve springs.
The 10R's 76.0mm bore and 55.0mm stroke are retained, but the rev limit has been lifted from 13,000 to 13,750 rpm. Peak torque now arrives higher up the rev zone, which is said to eliminate dips earlier in the powerband.
The 6-speed transmission has mildly juggled primary- and final-drive gear ratios that yield closer steps between gears 4 and 6. Racers will appreciate the new cassette design that greatly simplifies trackside gearing changes. A slipper clutch continues, likely still excellent.
The Ninja's ram-air intake is closer to the bike's nose for greater ramming effectiveness, with air traveling through the frame's steering head to a larger airbox and a more efficient air cleaner that pledge better breathing. Larger fuel-injection throttle bodies (from 43mm to 47mm) promise more power and are fitted with sub-throttle valves and dual injectors. A new Idle Speed Control valve is borrowed from Jet Ski technology to automatically adjust idle speed and offer easier starts while helping pass emissions regulations.
Getting spent fuel out of the engine is the responsibility of a lovely header made from a heat-resistant titanium alloy that offers better durability than standard titanium. Aft of the free-flowing header's hydroformed collectors is a stainless-steel pre-chamber that includes two catalyzers and an exhaust valve. This under-engine chamber allows a reasonably small stainless-steel muffler on the right side.
As is becoming standard on high-performance motorcycles, the new ZX-10R's power production can be set to various levels that can be selected on the fly. The Low setting delivers 50-60% of maximum. The Middle setting is interesting. It clips power to about 75% of max output, as you might expect, but full power can be temporarily accessed based on throttle position and "usage." We were shown a chart in which peak power in Middle can climb as high as Full at the upper rev zone, which sounds far more entertaining than the intermediate setting on some other power-mode systems. Unlike the S1000RR, the power setting can be set independently of the traction control.
Chassis and Frame
The Ninja's aluminum-beam perimeter frame is a departure from the previous bike's over-the-engine design, resulting in a more direct line from the steering head to the swingarm pivot that is purported to offer higher levels of feedback and enhanced stability when cornering. Built from cast-aluminum pieces, the nicely finished frame requires less welding and has high rigidity with minimal wall thickness.
Similarly, the 10R's swingarm is assembled from three cast aluminum pieces and has a high-quality look. Going against the fashionably long swingarm trend, the Kawasaki's is said to be shorter than its competitors.
The old ZX-10R (ZX1000F) had the laziest steering geometry in its class, so it was tightened up on the new 10R (ZX1000J/K) to aid the bike's agility. The steering rake is clipped from 25.5 degrees to a more typical 25.0 degrees, with trail also slightly reduced (3mm) to 107mm. Just as important to the J/K's new nimbleness, says Kawi, is the engine's higher center of gravity, explaining that it is now easier to load the front tire for better traction and feedback. The wheelbase stretches 10mm to 56.1 inches, but it can be shortened 16mm if the exhaust's under-engine pre-chamber and two links of the chain are removed.
Weight has been shaved everywhere, including a lighter battery and ECU, contributing to a 22-lb weight loss to a stated 436.6-lb wet weight. This matches the class lightweight, the Honda CBR1000RR, and makes it 16 lbs lighter than the S1000RR.
Up front is a 43mm version of Showa's recent Big Piston Fork, a design we appreciated when testing it on the 2009 ZX-6R. It provides an onset of damping earlier in its stroke to enhance stability during maximum braking, and it weighs less than a conventional cartridge fork. Like any modern literbike, the 10R's suspension is adjustable for preload, compression and rebound.
The rear suspension also incorporates some innovation, as the monoshock is placed nearly horizontal compared to the upright unit on the previous bike. Kawasaki says this back-link design contributes to mass-centralization efforts and somehow provides more feedback. It also frees up room for a larger under-engine pre-muffler chamber, enabling a smaller primary silencer, and also features a piggyback reservoir and dual-range compression-damping adjustability.
The suspension will have an easier job thanks to lightweight gravity-cast wheels. The 3-spoke designs offer immense reductions in unsprung weight: 330 grams less up front; and 490 grams in the rear. That adds up to a huge 1.8 lbs less rotating mass!
The Ninja's rider triangle has been tweaked slightly but significantly. The seat height drops 17mm to 32.0 inches, and the handlebars have a reduced downslope for improved comfort. The footpegs are 5mm lower and 2mm forward, and an adjustable mounting allows them to be placed a further 15mm lower for greater legroom.
A combination of LCD and LED displays make up what is one of the trickest gauge packs in the industry. At the top is a bar-graph tachometer lit by LEDs, a first on a mass-production bike. The LED illumination is massively brighter than any LCD display, so it is easily visible even in direct sunlight. How bright? The illumination is automatically reduced by 92% at night so it doesn't blind a rider. In comparison, the brightness of the LDC panel is reduced at night by only 60%. The tach's LEDs flash when revs reach the adjustable shift point selected by the rider, impossible not to notice.
The LCD panel relays scads of info, including the digital speedometer, dual tripmeters, coolant temperature and clock. Also to be monitored are the power-mode setting, S-KTRC levels, gear position and lap times. An Eco mode appears when you're riding the 10R like a granny.
Track riders will appreciate the gauges ability to be switched into Race Mode. This replaces speed with gear position at the center position, flanked by lap times on the left (instead of odometer) and speed on the lower right (instead of the clock).
We've seen the new ZX-10R in the flesh, and we consider it to be the most attractive 10R ever. The overall shape is chiseled but sleek, with a pointy beak anchored by a centrally located ram-air duct and flanked by sinister-looking line-beam headlights. A nice touch is a 3-bulb LED position lamp at the top of the ram-air duct.
LEDs also provide lighting for the front turnsignals incorporated into the mirrors and the 9-bulb taillight. European ZXs get rear turnsignals faired into the diminutive tailsection, but the DOT forces our bikes to get traditional stalk-mounted clear-lens signals.
KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System)
Although many sportbike riders aren't yet sold on the idea of ABS, KIBS, a "supersport-grade" system, might change some minds. This is allegedly the first ABS-equipped bike in which the fuel-injection ECU communicates with the ABS computer, taking inputs from the bike's many sensors to make the system operate as seamlessly as possible.
Kawi says typical ABS ECUs operate at a 100-millisecond rate, but its unit blazes at just 5 ms. This yields precise control of brake pressure, avoiding the unpleasant sensation of freewheeling when the anti-lock control kicks in, and Kawasaki promises smooth feedback at the lever. A $1000 option, this new Bosch ABS unit is said to be the world's smallest and lightest, adding only 6 lbs.
Four-piston Tokico radial-mount calipers bite on 310mm petal-shaped discs, whether equipped with ABS or not. A 220mm rear disc is squeezed by a small single-piston caliper.
The 2011 ZX-10R might be the most important sportbike to be introduced this year. Its all-new design offers a huge number of advancements over the previous 10R (last extensively revamped in 2008). Pre-launch track testing reveals it to be significantly quicker against the earlier generation, which was no slouch, and it also offers important improvements in comfort, instrumentation and curb appeal.
But the talking point most likely to be discussed is the S-KTRC traction control, noteworthy for its alleged sophistication and for being the first Japanese bike to have a performance-grade TC system. Also remarkable is that S-KTRC is standard equipment.
All this freshly hatched technology can be had for $13,799 when the bikes hit dealers by early December. We can't wait to test it for ourselves to see if it's ready to take on the S1000RR for our Sportbike of the Year honors.

Not Your Father's Contemporary is a new Toronto art gallery with no fixed address
Not Your Father's Contemporary is less a gallery than a brand. And that's a good thing. For generations, young artists have been seeking out alternative spaces and practices to change the way that they produce art and audiences can experience it. One group embracing this is the curatorial team Nice Stuff. Composed of Teresa Aversa, Charlie Irani (both of whom were affiliated with 52 McCaul) and Pantea Razzaghi, they banded together from their divergent backgrounds to hatch this mobile gallery brand.
Citing the problems with building a career in the city's artistic scene, particularly from a strictly economic point of view, they became interested in taking a new approach to getting work seen. They wanted to fashion their own specific and recognizable curatorial practice which would not be hemmed in by a specific location. Instead, it could nomadically roam with the seasons.
This serves a multitude of purposes. Not only does it make the brand more mobile, it stays completely within the wavelength of the latest generation of 'ADD children' as Charlie joking called them. It isn't just about moving along when one space gets boring though. One of the things which the group are hoping to investigate with their approach is how to work within each specific location, embracing its eccentricities and history.
Currently, they are working out of the second floor of Charlie's father's house at 137 Robert St. The front room acts as the gallery and the patio operates as a space for events. The domesticity of the space has played a decisive role in forming its character. They worked on integrating things in the location, including Charlie's father, who they've turned into a mascot, often using his facing on fliers.
Shows they've curated have included everything from nail painting to exhibits of drawings. Recently, the metaphor of a living room art show was extended when Hugh Scott Douglas made a series of Picasso replications which were then auctioned off, at highly affordable prices, so that people could have a "Picasso" to take back to their own living room.
With summer's end in mind, the team is already trying to imagine their next location. They're hoping they can find a garage for the winter which they can renovate, perhaps even the garage of a family who would be interested in making some art themselves. It's part of the collective's broader interest in carving out a different kind of business model, one which seeks to create new kinds of communities. These would involve both the artists in any given space as well as the people involved with it on every other level. They are especially interested in creating situations which would benefit everyone involved, including landlords. The notion of barter is crucial to this, with the possibility of labour, fixing up and 'gentrifying' abandoned and underused spaces, in exchange for the use of the space.
Upcoming events at Not Your Father's Contemporary will include tonight's Za Za Pizza Party, which will feature 40 artists who have all selected special toppings in this lecture and a meal.
On Friday August 13th, they will play host to the sixth issue launch for The Escapist Manifesto on. At the moment, the space is for rent for any artists out there eager to do a show this summer. And, if you are someone with a space and a desire to see it used in a creative way, they'd love to hear from you.
For more information, check out Not Your Father's Contemporary or get into touch with Nice Stuff.

Practical Law and Lexis Nexis have published comments from the Fieldfisher Tax & Structuring Team in their Autumn Budget coverage.
The full text of our comments is below. A link to the Treasury Budget page is here. A link to the "Consultation on the tax treatment of gains accruing on disposals of interests in UK immovable property by non-residents" is here. If you have any questions about any aspects of the Autumn Budget discussed below, or indeed any other issue arising from the Chancellor's speech and the associated Budget papers, please get in touch.
"A future that will be full of change; full of new challenges and above all full of new opportunities", so said the Chancellor (perhaps reflectively).
Well, foreign investors in UK property will agree with the first two of those, and may see the opportunities arise from investing elsewhere, owing to the consultation to tax their direct and indirect gains from UK property from April 2019. This will likely be a big tax raiser over time, although the 2019 rebasing may soften the blow for existing investments. Much of our skyline is owned by, and was built with money from, foreign investors and only time will tell whether the new regime, coupled with the headwinds the UK is already facing, will reduce investment in UK real estate.
The allied proposal to tax UK property income received by offshore companies under the corporation tax regime rather than to income tax, so that a reduced tax rate applies but so do rules like the corporate interest restriction, will no doubt help some and hinder others.
UK investors were not immune, and arguably the bigger story is the freezing of indexation allowance for disposals from 2018, raising very significant extra tax on the treasury projections.
Bricks and mortar investors have been a frequent target in recent budgets. The new tech order was not spared though, with a new withholding tax proposed on royalties paid to low tax jurisdictions relating to UK sales in 2019. We await the consultation to find out exactly how that will operate.
The first Autumn Budget for some 20 years was more of the same, steady as she goes, as the UK ship of state continues its determined progress into clouded and choppy waters. The uncertainties over Brexit and the continued disappointing figures for productivity growth suggest things will not be getting better any time soon.
In the grand tradition of Great British Budgets, some of the more significant changes were not highlighted in the Chancellor's speech but rather buried in the papers. High on the list must be the proposed changes to taxation of real estate.
When capital gains taxation was extended to UK residential property held by non-residents, there was a concern that commercial property would be next on the list. After all, who can complain at imposing taxes on someone who does not vote, and why should a non-resident be in any better position than a resident?
And so it came to pass. Hammond made great play of his £44 billion investment in new homes over five years, but failed to mention that he would be taxing gains made by non-residents on UK commercial property from 2019. Thankfully the proposals include a rebasing to April 2019 values, a boon to property surveyors and valuers. The change is forecast to raise relatively little money in the grand scheme of things, in the hundreds of millions per year, and of course will be cyclical, depending on whether commercial property values rise or fall. More importantly, it could well make the UK less attractive at a time when we might want to find reasons to encourage overseas investors to come here.
Some investors will welcome the doubling of certain financial limits in the EIS rules as they apply to "knowledge-intensive" businesses with sufficiently high R&D expenditure. But most investors will not look forward to the threat implicit in the proposals in the patient capital review to restrict relief for lower risk investments. These changes are unlikely to make the already fiendishly complex EIS rules any simpler. In many cases, you could be forgiven for thinking it is hardly worth the bother.

UK – The majority of shoppers prefer a 'wide range of products' over convenience, quality and store services according to IRI's Shopper Insights Report.
Sixty per cent of European shoppers said product range is the reason for store choice when it comes to supermarkets and hypermarkets. Other reasons for choosing this type of store included products being in one place ( 40%) and customer loyalty cards ( 27%).
IRI's report surveyed 2,600 European consumers across seven countries – Italy, Greece, Spain, Germany, France, the UK and the Netherlands.
The report found that at a time when many retailers are reviewing their ranges, and in some cases reducing them to cut costs, 'range' – which includes wide assortment, choice of brands, and good selection of healthy products in line with the growing trend for health and wellbeing – is still a key driver for consumers.
However, having a wide range of products was least important when selecting discounters and also when shopping online, where shoppers were driven primarily by price ( 68% and 50% respectively).
Laura Fusi, shopper insight senior manager, IRI, said: "Our survey has shown quite clearly that European shoppers increasingly prefer to visit online stores, with a third saying they do so regularly, so bricks and mortar stores are having to work much harder at getting people in-store.

Google's mission to organize all of the world's information, and so it's a natural fit for Google to be one of the leading innovators for using VR for immersive education. Google Expeditions was born out of a hackathon soon after the Google Carboard launched at Google I/O 2014, and it's since been shared with over 2 million students who have gone on virtual field trips. At Google I/O, they were showing Tango demos that showed me just how compelling augmented reality is going to be in the future of collaborative & embodied educational experiences.
I had a chance to catch up with Daydream's Education Program Manager Jennifer Holland at Google I/O where we talked about the history of Expeditions, and how successful it's been in creating new levels of immersion and engagement with students. She talks about how the Expedition experiences are designed to be agnostic to any specific age or subject matter, but also independent of specific teaching strategy or philosophy. Google has been rapidly iterating on creating useful tools that are immediately useful teachers to introduce immersive experiences into their lesson plan, and there's a lot that is left up to the teacher to be able to guide and direct the interactions and group learning exercises. Holland talks about some of the tools that have been built into expeditions, as well as the feedback that is driving the future of immersive education towards shared augmented reality experiences with Tango-enabled devices.
One of Google's biggest strengths in the VR community is cultivating mental presence by using open web technologies to fuse together information about our world so that we can experience it in a new way. Google Earth VR is a perfect example of fusing many different sources of data about our world, and providing an entirely new immersive experience of it in VR.
Right now, Google's Expeditions team and their collaborators are the only ones who are creating educational experiences, but they'd like to eventually make it easier at some point for people to create their own Expeditions. The Google Expeditions team announced during their Google I/O session that they've been using Mozilla's WebVR framework A-Frame in order to rapidly prototype Expeditions experiences in VR, and Unity to prototype experiences in AR.
My direct experience of seeing the Tango AR experiences at Google I/O is that the 6DoF inside out tracking is so good that it's possible to feel a sense of virtual embodiment as you walk around virtual objects locked in space. I haven't been able to experience this level of quality tracking in phone-based AR before, and so it was really surprising to feel how immersive it way. You're able to completely walk around virtual objects, which triggers a deeper level of embodied cognition in being able to interact and make sense of the world by moving your body.
Embodied Cognition is the idea that we don't just think with our minds, but that we use our entire bodies and environments to process information. I feel that the world-locking capabilities of the Tango-enable phones start to unlock the unique affordances of emobodied cognition that usually comes with 6DoF positional tracking, and it was a lot more compelling that I was expecting it to be. But after seeing the Tango demos, I feel confident in saying that AR is going to be a huge part of the future of education.
The Google Cardboard or Daydream hasn't generated a lot of excitement from the larger VR community as they're seen as the gateway immersive experiences to have higher-end, PC-driven experiences. But Google's ethic of rapidly iterating and creating a minimum viable products that are highly scalable has given them over two years of direct experiences of innovating with immersive education. They've been able to reach over 2 million students, and they've also been doing a number of research pilot studies with these VR expeditions. Google researchers Matthew Kam and Jinghua Zhang presented some of their preliminary research at the IEEE VR Embodied Learning Workshop in March, and you see some of the highlights in this Twitter thread, including work that's happening to create an immersive education primer for Circle Center.
I'm really excited to see how Google continues to innovate with immersive education, and you can look forward to seeing a solo version of Expeditions on Daydream that will be released soon that features guided tours, history lessons, and science explainers. What Google is finding is that Expeditions is not just for students, but also adults for casual and continuing education, enterprises for training applications, and even Major League Baseball have started to explore how to use immersive education experiences to engage audiences in a new way. At the end of the day, Google is showing that if you want to expand your mind and learn about the world, then Daydream & Expeditions are going to have some killer apps for you.

Naya Raipur to be renamed 'Atal Nagar' in memory of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee
PC: Business Today
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh who has retained his position of CM in the state since 2003 has found a unique way to pay tribute to former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Raman Singh has declared that a statue of the former PM will be installed in all the 27 district headquarters of the state. He also declared that the new capital of the state Naya Raipur which is being developed at a location approximately 20 km southeast of Raipur will now be named Atal Nagar, after the late PM. The decision to rename the new capital and of installing the statues were taken after a meeting of the Chhattisgarh cabinet which was presided over by the incumbent CM. "A memorial of Atal ji will come up in Naya Raipur. A statue of Vajpayee will also be installed at Naya Raipur as well as in all 27 district headquarters of the state and a central park will be developed in Naya Raipur in the name of former prime minister", Singh said to reporters after the meeting.
There are many other plans which Raman Singh has in mind to pay tribute to the former PM Atal Ji, whom Singh considers to be his political guru. It is noteworthy that Raman Singh was made the Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry by the late PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Raman Singh served in the post from 1999 to 2003, following which he took oath as the CM of Chhattisgarh, a position he never had to vacate till date. The formation of Chhattisgarh was done at the behest of the BJP government in the centre led by PM Atal Ji on 1st November 2000.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee's demise had saddened the politicians and common people across all lines, Raman Singh had himself accepted that his political career had become possible only due to the guidance of the late PM. Singh after learning about the death of Atal Ji on 16th August had said, "I don't have words to bid farewell to Atal ji. He was my 'guru' (mentor) and father figure to me. Like 125 crore people of India, I am also stunned and disturbed on his death". He further said, "Over 2.50 crore people of Chhattisgarh will always remember him as the founder of this state. In 1998, Vajpayee had promised to form Chhattisgarh while addressing a massive public rally in Raipur and he fulfilled his promise in 2000 (the year the state came into existence)".
The decision to rename the new capital being built to Atal Nagar is a brilliant way to pay tribute to the late leader who alone can be credited with the creation of the state. Along with this the incumbent CM also announced that the Bilaspur University, the newly-built medical college in Rajnandgaon, the Marwa Thermal Power Plant in Janjgir-Champa district, and the under-construction expressway in Raipur will also be named after the former PM. To commemorate his memory a special award "Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sushasan award" will also be given to panchayats and urban bodies on the occasion of Chhattisgarh formation day which falls on October 1 every year. A biography of the former PM will also be included in the textbooks of state boards of Chhattisgarh and the second phase of Raman Singh's 'Vikas Yatra' which is in the run-up to the assembly polls will now be renamed to 'Atal Vikas Yatra'.

Die MTE oder Mutations Engine war der erste Polymorphie-Programmgenerator für Computerviren.

Das Programm wurde 1992 von dem Hacker Dark Avenger geschrieben und veröffentlicht. Daher ist das Programm auch als DAME (Dark Avengers Mutations Engine) bekannt.

Funktion
Fälschlich wird die MTE teilweise als Virus Construction Kit oder selbst als Virus bezeichnet. Es handelt sich aber um eine Engine mit deren Hilfe man den fertigen Code eines Computervirus um polymorphe Selbstverschlüsselung erweitern kann. Der Viruscode nahm dann bei jeder Neuinfektion eine andere Form an, wobei es Milliarden von Möglichkeiten gab.

Der Schlüssel war zum einen sehr kurz und konnte zum anderen auch von variablen Werten, wie der Größe oder dem Zeitstempel der befallenen Datei abhängig gemacht werden. Er bot Virenscannern somit auch keine  Möglichkeit eine brauchbare Signatur zu erstellen.

Vor der Veröffentlichung des Generators wurden die meisten Viren sehr leicht durch Check-Summen von Antiviren-Programmen entdeckt. Jedoch machte die Mutations-Engine es möglich, dass selbst Viren von Anfängern stark polymorph waren. Dadurch entstand ein großes Problem für Hersteller von Antiviren-Software, da neue Erkennungsmethoden entwickelt werden mussten.  Einige Hersteller konnten diese nicht entwickeln und stellten daher die Weiterentwicklung ihres Virenscanners ein. Als 1993 die MS-DOS Version 6.0 erschien, war erstmals der Virenscanner Microsoft Anti-Virus (MSAV) im Lieferumfang enthalten. Erst bei der Einstellung des Supports im Juni 1996 erhielt das Programm ein letztes Update und konnte nun auch polymorphe Viren erkennen. Zuvor war das nicht möglich.

Als Lösung erwiesen sich vor allem Algorithmen, die man in der Verschlüsselung schließlich finden konnte. Das erwies sich für Antivirusfirmen am Ende sogar als vorteilhaft, da man alle, auch neue, Viren, die mit MTE verschlüsselt wurden, auf diesem Weg erkennen konnte.

Five Ways to Connect Lens Care with Comfort
Finding a lens care system that fits your patients' needs while maintaining comfort can be tricky, but these tips can help.
By Michael Iannucci, Associate EditorBy Michael Iannucci, Associate Editor
Whether you're working with a first-time contact lens patient or an existing wearer who is having difficulties, you need to play every card you hold if you want to win them over to long-term lens wear. During the contact lens fitting process, the influence of case systems on comfort is often sidelined for a proper fit and correction, and with a 24% contact lens dropout rate directly due to discomfort, it can feel like a no-win scenario.1 However, choosing the right lens care system can help minimize discomfort. Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind when recommending an effective and comfortable lens care system for your patients.
1. Consider the Lenses
Choosing the right contact lens solution to keep your patient comfortable starts with choosing a contact lens that meets their needs best; that decision will then dictate much of the care system selection process. Clinicians must consider how the lens dehydrates throughout the day, how stable the lens is on the patient's eye and much more. "If you had somebody with dry eye, you would want to choose a lens that has a very hydrophilic surface," says Christine Sindt, OD, director of contact lens service and clinical professor at the University of Iowa. "Something that has a lot of surfactant or polymer or phospholipids to prevent dehydration of the lens material itself."
While GP lenses take some getting used to for soft lens wearers, they have several valuable benefits.2 GP lenses are more resistant to deposits and bacteria, which could prove beneficial in minimizing long-term comfort decline for patients with eye hygiene issues.3 "Unquestionably, GP lenses are initially less comfortable than soft," says Daniel G. Fuller, OD, of Southern College of Optometry. "This difference dissipates with adaptation over approximately a two-week period to where it is often clinically insignificant." One study shows using a topical anesthetic prior to lens insertion during diagnostic fitting and dispensing visits is effective at easing the adaptation process for patients.2
"GP wearers are, by far, more faithful to their solution than the soft lens wearers," says Dr. Sindt. "They feel like that's how their contact lenses are supposed to feel vs. other products that say they wet better but don't have the same gooey feeling to them."
After deciding on the best lens option, clinicians should turn their attention to the best lens care solution, and its interaction with the lens will be a significant factor in the decision. For example, a lens with high silicone content requires extra attention, as the hydrophobic nature of silicone may create a bond between solution properties and the surface of the lens.4 "You can have the uptake and release of biocides back to the surface of the lens, and that can cause some end-of-the-day drying," says Dr. Sindt. "If you have a high-silicone lens, you may want to choose to use a peroxide-based solution so that you won't have the silicone reacting to the solution."
Sometimes, the lens type necessitates more than a simple multipurpose solution. Patients prone to heavy deposits on their lenses or who wear lenses approved for three months or more may need to use a daily enzymatic cleaner, says Susan Gromacki, OD, MS, director of contact lens service at Washington Eye Physicians & Surgeons.
2. Know Your Patients
Patient lifestyle often weighs heavily on contact lens comfort. Here are some important factors to consider when finding a lens care system to maximize comfort:

Sleep. If a patient is not getting enough sleep at night, their lens comfort can suffer. "Just like our bodies in general, we need time to repair and we're going to need time with our eyes shut for our eyes to repair," says Dr. Sindt. Ask your patients about their sleep habits—if they are not getting enough sleep or experience nocturnal lagophthalmos (look for the telltale signs of exposure keratopathy), you may have found the cause of their discomfort.5,6 In these cases, using preservative-free artificial tear at least four times a day may provide relief.7 Ointments and moisture goggles may also be necessary.7
Screen time. The daily amount of hours a patient spends with their eyes focused on a computer, TV, tablet or phone is an increasingly prevalent cause of discomfort.8 It reduces the blink rate, which impairs proper tear film replenishment from lipid release, causing symptoms of dryness.9 Again, preservative-free tears should be among the first lines of defense here to provide relief, but reducing screen time can minimize risk of further irritation.10 For more severe cases, methods that may provide aid include conserving tears through punctal occlusion or cautery, increasing tear production with prescription eye drops and omega-3 fatty acids, or directly treating the inflammation with ointments, warm compresses and lid massage, or daily cleaners.11
Compliance. Noncompliance causes problems with every facet of eye care, so it's no surprise that it promotes discomfort as well.11,12 Knowing a patient's noncompliance tendencies can steer you toward specific care systems. "If a patient is going to wear their lenses overnight and remove them one time a week, I want to provide them the solution that will kill the most bacteria during that one night of cleaning," says Jason Miller, OD, of EyeCare Professionals of Powell, Ohio. For many, a daily disposable option often helps reduce the risk of compliance-related microbial issues and improve comfort.12
Age. The older we get, the greater our propensity for inflammation, and that includes in our eyes.13 Our circulating hormones decrease as we age, and as a result, our ability to control inflammation decreases.13 In cases where age-related inflammation is a problem, practitioners first need to decide whether the inflammation warrants a new form of control in the absence of hormones. Some options for this include topical inflammatory mediators such as cyclosporine, lifitegrast or even steroids.14
Dry eye disease is a major contributor to contact lens dropout. Photo: Paul M. Karpecki, OD
Dry eye disease (DED) is also prevalent in patients older than 65, most of whom experience at least some dry eye symptoms.15,9 "A contact lens splits the tear film, so if it is thin or unhealthy, a patient will experience discomfort over time," says Dr. Gromacki. Research shows DED is a major contributor to the contact dropout rate.1 "Those who continue to wear contact lenses successfully beyond this point require special attention to visual acuity needs and dryness," says Dr. Fuller. For dry eye sufferers, "lenses with lower wetting angles created by surface treatments or the incorporation of hydrophilic and amphiphilic agents into the lens matrix may help. They attract moisture and mimic the natural tear film."
In younger patients, hygiene and compliance are potentially problem areas, too. Teens and college students in particular can have an invincibility complex that encourages outright disdain for lens care. As such, these patients may require extra attention and coaching.16
Knowing your patients and all the factors that could affect their contact lens wear will allow you to bring up potential issues before they occur. This is a good way to gain their trust and ensure issues are addressed right from the start. "If the patient does end up having problems, they're going to think, 'Wow, you knew that! How did you know that?'" says Dr. Sindt. "And then, because you alerted them to it ahead of time, they'll go back to you to make sure that it gets managed."
3. Match Lens Cases With Solution
The importance of compatibility between lenses and solutions is well known; what gets less attention, however, is the need to match cases and care systems. Contact lens cases are specifically designed to go with their solution counterparts, and as such, mixing them up could be problematic, Dr. Sindt says. Some plastics used for lens cases bind preservatives tightly to their surface. If a foreign solution is used and binding occurs, that preservative will no longer be present in the solution.
"The worst cases out there that patients have the most problems with are actually those flat packs that doctors buy with their names imprinted on them," says Dr. Sindt. "Those are going to have the most uptake and release of solutions, as well as binding of the preservative out of the solution." The key here is to have patients replace the solution in the case each night and the case itself with each new bottle purchase.
4. Be Careful With Disinfectants
Disinfectants are designed to destroy cell membranes.17 That works to an OD's advantage to reduce microbial populations, but against them on the ocular surface itself, as exposure to disinfectants can cause irritation. Disinfectants can bind to the lens and break down tears when the lens is on the eye, leading to discomfort.18 For sensitive patients, the presence of disinfectant on the surface or within the matrix of a lens may cause toxic reactions. "It's always this very fine balance between having a disinfectant that is efficacious enough to kill the bacteria that's in the well, but isn't so strong that it's going to kill the surface of your eye," says Dr. Sindt.
As with disinfectants, preservatives can bind to the lens, and they are also prone to uptake into the lens material and subsequent release into the tear film, which sometimes causes corneal staining.18
Hydrogen peroxide-based disinfection systems and preservative-free tears can be helpful alternatives.19 For example, Dr. Gromacki recommends hydrogen peroxide for patients with allergies. "But, if the patient wears their lenses less than once per week, then they'll have to re-disinfect the lenses prior to wearing them," she says. Hydrogen peroxide solutions also must be neutralized, which can take anywhere from four to six hours, so patient lifestyle will need to allow time for this.20 As a result, practitioners and patients will have to make a decision based on the magnitude of allergies and level of compliance.
5. Avoid Generics
While your patients may be attracted to the lower price tags of generic solutions, the notion that you get what you pay for may apply here. A major issue with generics is the consistency of their contents—or lack thereof, specifically.
About once a year, retailers take bids from solution companies to produce and package their private-label solution.21 The contracts won in the bids generally expire in 18 to 36 months, so the formulation of that generic brand solution may change.21 As a result, there could potentially be two of the same bottle but each could have different chemical formulations.21 Also, "since the contract goes to the lowest bidder, manufacturers are highly unlikely to place their premium lens solutions into privately labeled bottles," says Dr. Gromacki. "Many of the generic brands, for example, were developed prior to the advent of silicone hydrogels (1999) and as such cause significant solution-induced corneal staining in combination with some of these materials."
To combat generics, practitioners should address the risks with patients and strongly recommend avoiding them. "Doctors generally delegate training to technicians, but we need to use the 'power of the white coat' to prescribe an appropriate care system," says Dr. Fuller. "If we don't take the time to explain our decision-making, the patient assumes there is no difference."
Many factors affect the lens care system you ultimately recommend for your patients, and comfort is just one of them. Despite significant advances in contact lens materials and lens care systems, contact lens dropout rates have not changed significantly in decades.22-25 No one should hold their breath for a technological breakthrough that will solve the many problems that can arise with contact lens wear.22-25 However, if you take the time to balance all your lens care options, ultimate comfort will no longer need to sit on the sidelines.

Great little bit of kit which has allowed me to connect PS3 to my home cinema to play Blu-ray Discs for a few pounds rather than having to shell out for a dedicated blu-ray cinema system. Everything is contained in the box and connects and works in minutes. Power is taken from one of the usb sockets on the PlayStation. Only criticism is the very bright power led but a small piece of tape solves that. Recommended purchase. Can't comment on reliability or longetivity as only installed it but I guess due to my infrequent use it should last a while.
"Very Crisp Sound" - by Christopher H.
Top quality. Bought this for a gaming chair. Previously just using the standard audio out (aux headphone jack) to a wireless transmitter but the quality was bad - had a very 'grainy' sound and had to keep tv volume down and chair volume up for best quality. Now with this, I go through optical out, to the converter, use the volume correction on the converter and then aux out to the transmitter. There is absolutely no lag, the audio is crisp (even with the converter turned up to full volume) and the product feels great quality. Very impressed, worth the money.
Having just bought a top of the range 4k UHDef Smart TV I was disappointed to realise that the only audio out for an external sound system was optical audio. I have an 8 year old superb B&O cinema surround sound system but it only has 3.5mm audio jacks for output, so the options were to find a solution or spend another fortune on a new sound system. Thanks to this little gem the problem is solved and for £8.95.
It's easy to connect, plug and play simple, and has no perceptible effect on the sound quality from my sound system.
Thank you very much Proxima Direct!!!
Works as advertised, used this to split out the optical audio from HDMI on my PS4 Slim into some Turtle Beach headphones. Good build quality, didn't feel at all cheap, gold plated connections (for what it's worth), no dropouts or pops etc. Recommended for people with a PS4 slim that lacks an optical output. The only issue I have come across, is that my TV no longer auto switches channel to the PS4 now I am going via this box, but I've since changed my set-up anyway so no need to explore any further - worth considering this slight niggle if this is important though.
Works great on a new model Samsung TV that only has optical audio out - I needed to connect it to an older amp which only had phono inputs. Using the USB cable means that it comes on and goes off with the TV so no wasted power. Remember to remove the plastic dust caps from the optical cable before inserting into the converter and source device!
This actually works! Attach the enclosed USB cable to the tv USB and the av/dc connection on converter. Light appears on converter. Attach long cable (remove plastic buds) from converter toslink connection to the tv optical digital audio out. Attached my rf headphone cable to the headphone symbol on converter, ensured headphone stand plugged in to the wall/extension cable. Turned headphones on and eureka! Ensure sound settings on TV set to PCM not Dolby. I can set my LG smart tv to "internal speakers and external source " so everyone can listen.
"PS4 slim" - by Florent M.
If your wondering if it works for your ps4 then your exactly where you need to be. I bought this with a slight doubt that it will work but it's works as it should. Using PC speakers aux cable that usually connects to a PC I connected it to this device as it has the input.
This is an absolutely brilliant piece of kit!
I'm using it with a Panasonic TV where the Lindy is powered from the USB and takes signal via the optical output. The Lindy then delivers two channel stereo through normal phono leads to my high quality stereo amplifier. It's a stunning result.
Note especially that this little device is not just a normal DAC - it contains the vital Dolby decoder which enables you to get stereo from all the HD TV channels whereas a normal DAC will only give sound from standard definition TV.
Awsome product. Used to interface easy new Samsung smart tv via optical audio out to an old AV amp via it s6 channel decoded input. Work s street. No discernible eyelashes & ouputs both 5.1 surround sound and 2 channel stereo a treat. A real bargain.
I got this for my PS4 to play it via my computer monitor, as the refresh rate is much better for a monitor rather than TV Problem was monitor does not have any speakers. It hooked up easily to the optical slot, powered from the front USB and plugged my speakers in and worked perfectly.
The sound comes out crispy i would recommend this for sure.
System, and it works perfectly.
Prompt delivery in packaging that could be posted through my door rather than me having to collect from a depot.
Great customer service too. Followed up the purchase with a short 'Thank You' email. Doesn't take much to do and makes so much difference to the customer experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for the same thing.
I purchased this DAC for use with converting the optical audio output from my Samsung KS Series TV into a headphone output for my speakers. Happy to report his product works flawlessly. It feels solid & has great construction. The volume control knob is smooth & has linear control so you can fine tune it. The DAC automatically turns on to the Optical Input, so there's no delay of switching modes.
I'd highly recommend this DAC over the Avantree one - this is a far superior, better built & has way more value for money.

Q: efficiently do weighted count the elements in the list So I have a python dict like:
 1:[ "red","blue","green"]
 2: ["blue","blue","red"]..

and so on.
and then i have another python dict:
score_dict = {
 pid: weight
 1: 2
 2: 20
 ...
}

So, what i want is..
in the first dict, count number of times two colors occur together.
and so on.
But that count be multiplied by their weight.
For example:
I want to find out how many times red an blue occured together in this list:
so for pid 1
   red and blue occurs once.
 so this is (1*2) # 2 comes from the score_dict as pid1 has a weight 2

and then for second
there are two blue, red pairs I can form
so this is (1*20) + (1*20)

So total score for blue and red occuring together is 2 + 20 + 20 = 42
Also, how do i extend it to 3 colors?
Like if i have to find out "red" "blue" and " green" occuring together?

A: from collections import Counter

dict1 = {1:[ "red","blue","green"], 2: ["blue","blue","red"]}

weight = {1: 2, 2: 20}

score = 0

for k,v in dict1.iteritems():
    score += weight[k] * Counter(v)["red"] * Counter(v)["blue"]

Result:
>>> score
42

The last part of my code could be rewritten as generator comprehension:
score = sum(weight[k] * Counter(v)["red"] * Counter(v)["blue"] for k,v in dict1.iteritems())

A: Not sure I fully understood but here's an idea:'
from collections import Counter

data = {
    1: ['red','blue','green'],
    2: ['blue','blue','red'],
}

weights = {
    1: 2,
    2: 20,
}

for k, v in data.items():
    score = sum([c * weights[k] for c in Counter(v).values()])
    print "so this is: %s val = %d" % (k, score)

Who will meet Australia in the final? It's between these two. I'm pretty interested in the Champions Trophy all of a sudden, if only because it would make my month if West Indies not only made the final by ousting South Africa, but went on to retain their title. It'd be as good as finding a loose fiver down the sofa.

Members of an indigenous group in Colombia say they have driven about 100 soldiers from the military base they were guarding in southwestern Cauca province.
The Nasa tribe had given the security forces an overnight deadline to leave.
They say they are tired of being caught in the middle of confrontations between the army and members of Colombia's largest rebel group, the Farc.
The army said it had moved its men temporarily to avoid further clashes.
Army commander General Alejandro Navas said the soldiers were still on the mountain where they were based, but had moved further down its slope.
Local media described how some 1,000 Nasa surrounded the army post, grabbed one of the soldiers and carried him 10m (35 feet) down the mountain.
A soldier fired into the air to disperse the Nasa, who in turn threw soil at the armed forces.
The Nasa say 250 of them will stay on the top of the mountain to prevent the soldiers from returning.
Tension between the security forces and the indigenous groups around Toribio, in Cauca province, have been growing for the past week.
After days of attacks by Farc rebels on the police station in Toribio, the Nasa demanded the security forces and the rebels take their fight elsewhere.
They dismantled trenches erected by the security forces. They also marched on a rebel camp in the mountains and told the Farc to leave.
Defence Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon said the security forces would stay in the area and continue fighting the Farc.
Mr Pinzon said the government would continue dealing with the indigenous population through "dialogue and respect", but warned them not to break the law.
The steep mountainous area is a Farc stronghold and a key corridor for the trafficking of cocaine.
Indigenous groups say they are bearing the brunt of the fighting between the government forces and the rebels.
They say the presence of the security forces attracts the rebels, whose mortars often miss their intended targets and kill civilians.
They want to assume control of the area and guard it themselves.

Chrisette Michele Shows Off Beautiful Bawdy While On Vacation

It's definitely not bathing suit season, but Chrisette Michele is still showing off her sexy beach body. The singer recently celebrated her engagement anniversary in Barbados with fiancé and longtime manager Doug "Biggs" Ellison.
For the occasion, she took some photos on the beach in a nude one-piece that cut high on the hips. "Oh Barbados, I'll miss you terribly," she said. "See you at the Jazz fest in January. Thanks for helping me celebrate my 1 year love anniversary."
The couple made their love official last October, after a pretty tumultuous past that included a lawsuit. Michele and Ellison have known each other for over a decade, and he's noted to be the person that put her in front of Def Jam, getting her initial record deal.
In regards to their wedding plans, she spoke to The Jasmine Brand about her theme and unlikely romance.
"I'm gonna do The Great Gatsby theme as the wedding," she said. "So it's gotta be… really just extra. Very grand, very silly, very fun. Very not serious. So I'm hoping that Tamar Braxton is not incredibly busy that day and she can fly in real quick, do a little ditty, do a little dance, and head back to her show."
Adding, "We started off as manager and artist 12 years ago way before I got signed. Then we got into the music industry and things got incredibly shaky… Long story short, when it was all said and done, when it was all over, we decided that we didn't want to be in this music industry alone. So I started my record label and then I was like, 'I don't wanna do that without him' and he didn't want to do his life without me so we decided to do our lives together."

Bride-To-Be Chrisette Michele Shares Her Dramatic Love Story
Love Conquers All: Chrisette Michele Is Engaged

Maze Runner actress Kaya Scodelario admitted that she was initially afraid to share her sexual assault story back in October. Now, months into the #MeToo moment, she sees why it was so important that she did.
"The response was wonderful. It was a relief but I am still dealing with it, and I am now dealing with a new side of it, which is [that] I will be asked about it forever now," the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales actress told the publication.
She added that, like so many people who have come forward during the #MeToo moment, she chose to speak out to help others feel less afraid to do so.
"I remember thinking that if I was 12 years old and I had this horrific thing happen to me but I saw a woman I admired speaking up about it, it would have made me feel less guilty, and it would have inspired me to think 'this won't hold me back, this is something that has happened but I am not a victim,'" the star told Metro.
Scodelario is just one of many actresses to come forward about their experiences with sexual misconduct. At the Women's March in New York City, singer Halsey recited a personal poem about her own experience with sexual abuse in her teens. Famous In Love star Bella Thorne revealed that she was a survivor of sexual abuse from a young age as well.
No matter how long it takes someone to say #MeToo, as Scodelario points out, the voices of many can help shift the tide away from survivors feeling guilt and fear to one where abusers are held accountable for their actions.

China agrees to second round of talks with Dalai Lama's envoys
By WILLIAM FOREMAN, Associated Press, May 5, 2008
Beijing, China -- Chinese officials and envoys of the Dalai Lama have agreed to a second round of talks, China's state-run media said Monday, in an apparent sign of progress in easing tensions raised by violent anti-government riots in Tibet.
<< The Dalai Lama
State television and Xinhua News Agency indicated that the first round of talks had ended after one day, but no formal announcement was made.
CCTV said on its noon news broadcast that the two Tibetan envoys had to report back to the Dalai Lama in India and that both sides "agreed to meet again at a suitable time."
Xinhua said, however, that the Chinese officials told the Dalai Lama's envoys at their meeting Sunday that the protests had spawned new obstacles to communication.
International critics have accused China of heavy-handed tactics in quelling the anti-government riots and protests in Tibet and Tibetan areas of western China. Some experts believe Beijing agreed to meet with the envoys to defuse that criticism ahead of the Beijing Olympics in August.
The talks were held in the booming city of Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, but neither side commented to a large group of foreign reporters waiting outside a palm tree-lined statehouse venue.
Xinhua said the Chinese officials "answered patiently" questions raised by the Dalai Lama's envoys.
But Xinhua added that the Chinese officials told the envoys the violent protests in March "had given rise to new obstacles for resuming contacts and consultations with the Dalai side."
As the two parties gathered, President Hu Jintao said in Beijing he hoped for a "positive outcome" and that the "door of dialogue remains open," Xinhua reported.
But even as the talks took place, China kept up its verbal attacks on the Dalai Lama.
"The central government hoped that to create conditions for the next round of contact and consultation, the Dalai side would take credible moves to stop activities aimed at splitting China, stop plotting and inciting violence and stop disrupting and sabotaging the Beijing Olympic Games," Xinhua said.
The Dalai Lama has repeatedly said he was not behind the recent unrest, and that his envoys planned to ask China to address the accusations, said Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the self-declared Tibetan government-in-exile based in Dharmsala, India.
The Dalai Lama's side also wanted to push for an easing of tensions in Tibetan areas of China, Rinpoche told The Associated Press.
State media gave no other details of the talks, but in previous rounds that broke down in 2006, officials from the Dalai Lama's side brought up such issues as redrawing Tibet's boundaries to include Tibetans living in other areas. There has also been talk of confidence-building measures such as having the Dalai Lama visit China.
China also put its choice for the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama, Tibetan Buddhism's second-highest figure, on state television Monday to praise the ruling Communist Party.
"I deeply pray for the successful holding of the Olympics. Under the leadership of the great Chinese Communist Party, Tibet will definitely get more prosperous, and lives of Tibetan people will become nicer and happier," Gyaltsen Norbu said.
Norbu is not widely accepted by Tibetans as the Panchen Lama. In May 1995, the Dalai Lama chose 6-year-old Gendun Choekyi Nyima as the 11th Panchen Lama. The boy and his family disappeared soon after and have not been heard from since. Human rights groups say the boy has been under house arrest since, a claim China denies although officials refuse to say where he is.
Months later, Beijing named Norbu as the 11th Panchen Lama. Officials have said Nyima and his family are being kept in a secret location for their protection.
China says 22 people died in violence in Tibet's capital of Lhasa in March, while overseas Tibet supporters say many times that number died in protests and a subsequent crackdown.
The Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet during a failed uprising in 1959, says he is seeking meaningful autonomy for Tibet rather than independence from Chinese rule.
Associated Press writer Ashwini Bhatia in Dharmsala, India, contributed to this story.

Searching for a different bean variety? The cranberry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) has long been used in Italian cuisine, but has more recently been introduced to the North American palate. As it is a difficult bean varietal to procure, if you're growing cranberry beans, it is a great idea to save a few pods for next year's garden.
The cranberry bean, also known as the Borlotti bean in Italy, is fairly difficult to find unless your community has a large Italian population or farmer's markets. Cranberry beans are usually found in the mass market as packaged and dried unless one encounters them in the independent local farmer's market where they can be seen fresh with their beautiful coloration.
More widely known as shell beans, the cranberry bean is unrelated to a cranberry plant, and in fact, most closely resembles the pinto bean, although the flavor is dissimilar. The exterior of the cranberry bean is a mottled cranberry hue, hence its common name, and the interior beans are a creamy color.
Just as with all beans, the cranberry bean is low in calories, high in fiber, and a fabulous source of vegetable protein. Unfortunately, when the bean is cooked, it loses its lovely color and becomes a drab brown. Fresh cranberry beans are reported to taste akin to a chestnut.
Cranberry beans are an easy to grow plant. Neither pole nor bush beans, the cranberry bean grows on a stalk, which can attain a height of up to 6 feet. Due to this great height, the cranberry bean needs to be staked and grows well planted in a large container, such as a half barrel or even a 1-gallon pot. Growing cranberry beans can also be planted against a traditional trellis support or a tepee-shaped support can be created, against which several plants can be grown.
However you decide to grow and stake your cranberry beans, remember they prefer a warmer climate than most bean varieties and definitely dislike frost. Soil temperature for cranberry beans should be at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit or more.
Select an area with well drained soil and a pH of 5.8 to 7.0 or amend the soil to reflect the requirements.
Cranberry bean plants can be started from either dried seeds or from fresh picked pods. To start from dried seeds, soak some quality potting soil with water until the consistency of mud, poke in a few dried cranberry bean seeds and allow to dry slightly. Transfer the still moist soil and seed combination into smaller pots, cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm area to germinate.
To start cranberry bean plants from fresh picked pods, squeeze the bean pod gently to split and remove seeds. Lay the seeds out on paper towels or the like and air dry for about 48 hours. Fill planting pots with seed starting medium and place them in a pan of water with the liquid reaching to the halfway mark on the pot sides. Leave in the water bath for about an hour or until the soil surface is wet. Germination of your cranberry bean seeds will occur in about a week in warm conditions.
This super nutritious bean variety is also super versatile in the kitchen. The cranberry bean can be pan fried, boiled and, of course, made into soup.
To pan fry the cranberry bean, simmer in water for 10 minutes, dry off on a towel and then sauté in a hot pan with a little olive oil. Cook until outer skins have crisped, season lightly with salt or seasoning of your choice and you will have a crunchy healthy snack.

Firmiano Antônio de Araújo (Rio Grande do Sul, 1817 — Porto Alegre, 4 de julho de 1907) foi um farmacêutico, político e intelectual brasileiro.

Deixou uma marca relevante na Sociedade Partenon Literário de Porto Alegre, sendo presidente em 1873 e 1875, colaborador da sua Revista Mensal, membro da Comissão de Obras da sede oficial, e idealizador do museu da entidade, o primeiro museu do Rio Grande, que teve um acervo de mais de 4 mil itens divididos nas seções de Mineralogia, Arqueologia, Numismática, Botânica e Zoologia.

Foi o primeiro farmacêutico diplomado da Província do Rio Grande do Sul, desempenhou intensa atividade durante as epidemias de cólera de 1855 e 1865, e serviu como farmacêutico da Junta de Higiene da Província. Foi um dos mais antigos adeptos da homeopatia na província.

Também foi sócio fundador e conselheiro fiscal da Companhia Hidráulica Guaibense, inspetor do 3º Distrito de Porto Alegre, membro da Comissão do Contencioso, juiz de paz e presidente da Junta Revisora da paróquia da Madre de Deus, ativista do abolicionismo, dirigente do Partido Liberal, conselheiro municipal e deputado da Assembleia Provincial.

Dos serviços que prestou falou Aquiles Porto Alegre em 1919: "Recordá-los neste momento é pagar uma dívida de honra, que a ingratidão popular facilmente olvidou, não se lembrando de colocar o seu nome no cunhal de uma rua, em retribuição dos benefícios que ele prestou desinteressadamente, quando outros gozam dessa alta distinção sem que se saiba por que cargas d'água". Dante Pianta recuperou sua memória em 1963 dizendo que havia prestado "serviços inesquecíveis" à população da capital e da província nas várias atividades que exerceu, vivendo "uma longa e intensa vida, toda dedicada aos elevados ideais, à Pátria e à coletividade". Em 1968 seu nome foi inscrito em um monumento ordenado pela Câmara Municipal de Porto Alegre e instalado na Praça da Matriz, onde constaram os principais membros do Partenon Literário.

Q: GDAL import error in Python3.6 I'm attempting to import gdal in Python 3.6 and I receive the error below.

ImportError:
  dlopen(/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/osgeo/_gdal.cpython-36m-darwin.so,
  2): Symbol not found: __ZN11xercesc_3_211InputSource11setEncodingEPKt
  Referenced from: /anaconda3/lib/libgdal.20.dylib   Expected in:
  /anaconda3/lib/libxerces-c-3.2.dylib  in
  /anaconda3/lib/libgdal.20.dylib

I currently use anaconda. I've attempted uninstalling/reinstalling gdal and libgdal with "conda install 'module'" with no success.
Conda is automatically installing version 2.3.0 for gdal and libgdal.

A: You should ensure that all your packages if installed with conda are set to prioritize the conda-forge channel over defaults. You can set thus: conda config --add channels conda-forge. This creates the .condarc file if you don't have it already and puts conda-forge first. You can delete defaults from the .condarc file. Then do a conda update --all
if this doesn't work from your default environment, you can try doing it in a virtual environment created as follows:
conda create -n env python=3 anaconda #create virtual env (name:env)
conda activate env #activates virtual env

A: Try getting the .whl file for gdal from here:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal
Make sure to pick the correct version you need, e.g. cp36 and then the either the 32 or 64 bit distribution.
Once you have the correct file then try running
conda install GDAL_Whatever_Version_You_Have.whl
