The head of the Ennahda party in Tunisia, Rachid Ghannouchi, is calling for calm in the town of Sidi Bouzid, the site of violent protests since the Islamist party's victory was announced on Thursday, Almoslem.net reported. Supporters of the People's Party began rioting following the announcement that Ennahda had won 90 seats in parliament, comprising 41 percent of lawmakers. Sidi Bouzid is the town where the protest movement began in Tunisia after a vegetable vendor immolated himself last December after being denied a permit to sell produce. The government has imposed a curfew on Sidi Bouzid, while security forces fired into the air to disperse the crowds. Protesters tried to attack the municipal headquarters, and set fire to the mayor's office.
Egyptian lawyer Mohammed Abdul Aziz has filed a legal complaint over the death of Issam Atta, 23, who was tortured and beaten to death while at Tora prison. Atta was sentenced to two years in prison in February, and he was reportedly tortured with electric cables in his mouth and "places sensitive to his body" for attempting to smuggle a mobile phone into the prison, A-Dostour newspaper reported. After the beatings, he was transferred to a nearby hospital, where he died an hour later. His family was not notified of Atta's condition, and were not able to see him before he died. Atta's funeral was held on Friday
Thousands of Yemenis have unflaggingly held protests since February demanding the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been in power for 32 years. For months, Saleh has said he would resign but has failed to do so, despite an initiative proposed by neighboring Gulf countries that would avoid prosecution of Saleh and his family. As time passes, security forces continue to shoot and kill protesters, and the chants from the crowds are becoming increasingly impatient. On Friday, tens of thousands of Yemenis gathered in Sanaa's "Change Square" to demand Saleh be tried. "Free people of the world: Saleh must be tried," they chanted, along with "Defenders of the regime: repent and join your brothers in Change Square." A Yemeni woman was killed by a sniper on Friday while crossing the street with her husband near the square.

Al Jazeera announces the ascension of Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef al-Saud to crown prince. Prince Nayef is known in the west for blaming "the Zionists' for the attacks of September 11, 2001, saying "it is impossible that Bin Laden or Al Qaeda did it alone."
Three Clear Signs That Belarus Is About To Enter The Ukraine War
Troops are amassing at the Belarus-Ukraine border for a second straight day, while pontoon crossings are being constructed. Most importantly, strongman Alexander Lukashenko is increasingly seen as no longer having the option to say No.

Another clear indication that Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko will join Russia's war against Ukraine came early Tuesday morning: Belarus began rapidly deploying its troops to the Ukrainian border, and the country's defense ministry announced a "sudden inspection of combat readiness."
Stay up-to-date with the latest on the Russia-Ukraine war, with our exclusive international coverage.
Sign up to our free daily newsletter.
Though such sudden exercises have occurred at other times since the beginning of the war, this time it comes amid an accumulation of signs that point to Lukashenko preparing to give final orders.
For the second day in a row, the Belaruski Gayun media recorded increasing numbers of troops amassing Wednesday on the border with Ukraine.
Local witnesses also report Belarusian forces have begun to build pontoon boat crossings across the Berezina river near the border, apparently for the speedy transfer of equipment to Ukraine. In addition, Russian MiG-31K fighters, which can carry hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles, arrived at airbases in Belarus.
Meaning of Makiej's death
Oleksandr Azarov, the founder of BYPOL, composed of former Belarusian law enforcement officers, believes that Lukashenko has already decided to invade Ukraine.
"I think Makiej did not die by chance," Azarov said, referring to Vladimir Makiej, Belarus's Foreign Minister, who died suddenly on Nov. 26 on the eve of his visit to Poland.
"He was going to negotiate guarantees for Lukashenko and his family. Instead, Russian Defense Minister (Sergei) Shoigu comes to Belarus and signs secret military documents. Lukashenko was not allowed to retreat."
The Lukashenko regime has tried in the past to maintain some level of autonomy from Russia. But military and economic reliance on the Kremlin's support multiplied after Belarus' 2020 elections when the longtime strongman ruler retained the presidency by violently suppressing protests against the rigged voting results.
Lukashenko in a corner
The 68-year-old Lukashenko may prefer to keep the country out of the war, knowing there is minimal support among Belarusians for invading Ukraine. Yet he also knows that not only his political career but his life is ultimately in the hands of Vladimir Putin. And with Ukrainian troops largely outperforming Russians on the front line, Putin appears to need to open up a new front from the north.
Ukrainian military expert Petro Chernyk also believes that the moment for Minsk to enter the war has arrived.
"The sudden check of the combat readiness of the Belarusian army indicates that Russia is raising the stakes. I emphasize that it is Russia, not Belarus. Putin needs Belarus to officially enter the land war with Ukraine now," says Chernyk, who notes that heavy missile strikes have already been taking place from Belarus. "They are really already at war with us."
It's a question of when, not if.
Tuesday evening the Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant-General Serhiy Nayev, discussed the situation on the border with Belarus with his colleague from the Operational Command of the Armed Forces of Poland, Lieutenant General Tomasz Piotrowski.
Ukrainian volunteers have also intensified their assistance to the Ukrainian military on the Belarusian border: in recent weeks, the prominent "Come Back Alive" organization has been focusing on helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces coordinate defense measures vis-à-vis Belarus. The head of the foundation, Taras Chmut, estimates the possibility of an attack from Belarus this winter as high.
BYPOL founder Oleksandr Azarov believes that Belarus troops crossing the border is inevitable, a question of when not if. Another sign he cites is the constant psychological manipulation spread by the Belarus regime among the troops: "to convince the military that they should support their 'Russian brothers.'"

Anthony Bourdain dies at 61
Friday 6/08/18 at 8:49AM EDT
CNN announced the death of its Parts Unknown host, saying he was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Strasbourg, France, where he was working on an upcoming episode. "CNN confirmed Bourdain's death on Friday and said the cause of death was suicide," according to a CNN report. CNN also released an official statement, saying: "It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain. His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time." CNN is in the midst of airing the 11th season of Parts Unknown, with three episodes remaining.
Gordon Ramsay pays tribute: "Stunned and saddened by the loss of Anthony Bourdain. He brought the world into our homes and inspired so many people to explore cultures and cities through their food."
"One of my idols," tweeted Chrissy Teigen. "Unapologetic, passionate and one of the best storytellers on the planet. Thank you for making food so exciting. And always standing up for everything right. Horrible. Why why why. Be at peace now :("
Rose McGowan: "Anthony I am so mad at you. You were so loved, the world is not better without you"
President Trump called Bourdain's death "very sad," adding that he enjoyed his show and that he was "quite a character"
"A piece of my heart is truly broken this morning," tweeted Anthony Zimmern. "And the irony, the sad cruel irony is that the last year he'd never been happier. The rest of my heart aches for the 3 amazing women he left behind."
Christiane Amanpour: "He was a friend, a collaborator, and family. A huge personality, a giant talent, a unique voice, and deeply, deeply human"
"This is who Anthony was," tweeted Jake Tapper. "Asked to donate something for an auction for @HomesForOurTrps, he handed over his beloved — and pricey — watch. He'd give you the shirt off his back."
More stars pay tribute: "Thank you for opening our eyes to parts of the world both cherished and unknown," tweeted Mandy Moore
Bourdain was one of the leading male voices in the #MeToo movement: "Bourdain was one of the men out there doing work of reexamination & personal reflection & of truly listening to women, perhaps spurred by, but not limited to, Asia Argento," says Rebecca Traister.
On Sunday, Bourdain tweeted a joyous video from the Hong Kong filming of Parts Unknown
"Bourdain projected a sense of invincibility," says Kyle Koster. "There seemed no challenge too steep, no situation too uncomfortable, or location too remote for him to tackle with gusto. He seemed at ease with chaos, infinitely malleable, and, most importantly, willing to listen. And learn."
"Viewers felt a connection to him because he spoke in such a frank, original way," says Hal Boedeker, adding that "the shock of his death will recede, and people will remember his invigorating lust for life. The life matters more than the death. He left such a rich, varied record of enjoying life."
Anthony Bourdain was American cool: "I say this as somebody who hates the word 'cool' and all the contrived nonsense that it stirs up, but the man really was," says William O'Connor. "He could hold court with gourmand French chefs in one episode, and then gut and cook a chicken on the Congo River in the next. I was proud to have my country associated with him—he was in that brash yet debonair American mold that foreigners eat up."
Bourdain was a great writer, and his fans are sharing their favorite passages on social media
In February, Bourdain joked to People magazine: "I'm going to pretty much die in the saddle"
Bourdain's death prompts celebrities to share their own experiences battling depression
Six days ago: The Hollywood Reporter published Bourdain's essay on his "cinematic dream" filming in Hong Kong with girlfriend Asia Argento

Volume 29, Number 5 (2001), 1189-1232.
Function estimation/approximation is viewed from the perspective of numerical optimization in function space, rather than parameter space. A connection is made between stagewise additive expansions and steepest-descent minimization. A general gradient descent "boosting" paradigm is developed for additive expansions based on any fitting criterion.Specific algorithms are presented for least-squares, least absolute deviation, and Huber-M loss functions for regression, and multiclass logistic likelihood for classification. Special enhancements are derived for the particular case where the individual additive components are regression trees, and tools for interpreting such "TreeBoost" models are presented. Gradient boosting of regression trees produces competitive, highly robust, interpretable procedures for both regression and classification, especially appropriate for mining less than clean data. Connections between this approach and the boosting methods of Freund and Shapire and Friedman, Hastie and Tibshirani are discussed.

Carnival Cruise Line Announces Sale of Ships and Several Homeport Changes
Carnival Fantasy Docked In Cozumel
This morning Carnival Cruise Line announced several changes to fleet operations that are a result of the coronavirus pandemic pause in service. Here are the details of today's big announcement regarding Carnival's ships:
Sale of Two Ships
Carnival announced the Carnival Fantasy and Carnival Inspiration have been sold. Both ships are Fantasy class cruise ships. The Carnival Fantasy entered service for Carnival in 1990 and the Carnival Inspiration entered service in 1996. At the time of writing, the Carnival Fantasy and Carnival Inspiration are on their way to Turkey. Carnival's press release did not specify any further details about the future of these two ships.
(Note: I am aware of several places online saying these two ships may be scrapped, but I am trying to get Carnival to confirm this information. Until this is confirmed by Carnival, I don't want to publish information that could still change.)
Long Term Layup Of Two More Ships
Two more Fantasy class ships, the Carnival Fascination and Carnival Imagination, are going to be out of service for an indefinite period of time in long-term layup. This essential means the ships will stay with Carnival, but will not be used. The Carnival Fascination and Carnival Imagination are both Fantasy class ships. No timeline of events was released by Carnival to indicate when these ships might come back into service.
Carnival Sensation To Mobile
The Carnival Sensation will be deployed to Mobile to take over the Carnival Fantasy's existing cruise bookings and itineraries. Furthermore, the Carnival Fascination was originally scheduled to sail out of Mobile in 2022, but now these itineraries are being taken over by the Carnival Sensation as well. The Carnival Sensation will primarily sail 4 & 5 night cruises from Mobile, Alabama. Guests originally booked on the Carnival Fantasy or Carnival Fascination should have their booking automatically transferred to the Carnival Sensation. The ships are both Fantasy class ships and have similar layouts.
Carnival Sunrise Will Move From Port Everglades to Miami
The Carnival Sunrise will be moving from Port Everglades to Miami to take over the Carnival Sensation's short cruise itineraries. The Carnival Sunrise is a larger ship than the Carnival Sensation. Carnival's press release states guests booked on the Carnival Sunrise's 4 & 5 day itineraries out of Port Everglades will be automatically transferred to the Carnival Sunrise's 4 & 5 day itineraries out of Miami. It is unclear what Carnival did for guests already booked on the Carnival Sensation. If you are one of the affected passengers you should have gotten an email from Carnival.
Carnival Radiance Will Move To Long Beach, California
Since the Carnival Inspiration is being sold and the Carnival Imagination will be out of service due to the long term layup, the short cruises from Long Beach, California will be unavailable until 2021. In 2021 the Carnival Radiance will be launched into service in April 2021 and will take over short cruises that these ships previously did. Carnival's press release indicates guests booked out of Long Beach on the Carnival Inspiration & Carnival Imagination after April 22, 2021, will be accommodated to be on the Carnival Radiance. The Carnival Panorama will be the only ship out of Long Beach prior to April 2021 and this ship will focus on seven night cruises.
The Carnival Radiance was supposed to be transformed in spring 2020, but due to the pandemic the Carnival Victory to Radiance transformation was put on halt. Carnival hopes to finish the transformation in spring 2021 and launch this transformed ship.
Additional Service Pause For Australia Cruises
Carnival also announced an additional operational pause for Australia cruises. Guests scheduled to cruise between September 25 and October 29th now have their sailings cancelled.
This was a big announcement from Carnival and filled with information. I will be sharing additional information as I find out more. For more information I recommend you read Carnival's full press release (click here). You will be taken away from RyG's Cruise Guide and go to Carnival's news website.

Pence told Pelosi that he is refusing to turn to the 25th Amendment against Trump
Vernon Shorts 1 year ago 3 min read
EFE and AFP
Washington, USA / 12.01.2021 19:16:09
United States Vice President Mike Pence. Neglected Summons the 25th Amendment to impeach Donald Trump, Eight days after the Republican left office, Which opens the way for this week's launch of A second impeachment procedure for the outgoing president.
In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, The US Vice President confirmed that the twenty-fifth amendment was invoked It will not be the best for the nation and it will not be in accordance with that country's constitution.
"I do not believe that this course of action is in the interest of our nation or in line with our constitution," Pence wrote in the letter.
Pence noted that last week he did not give in to Donald Trump's pressure to refuse to acknowledge Biden's victory and would do the same now to avoid "political games".
"Last week, I did not surrender to pressure to exercise outside my constitutional authority to determine the election's outcome Now, I will not surrender to the efforts of the House of Representatives to play political games "At such a dangerous time in the life of our nation," Pence said.
Thus, the Vice President implicitly referred to Trump's pressure to assume powers inconsistent with him under the constitution and to intervene in the House of Representatives session that called for approval of Joe Biden's victory in last November's election.
Pence warned that this amendment, which was created after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and in the middle of the Cold War, would be used to protect the government in cases such as the president's sudden illness, "It would be a terrible precedent."

The second man in the White House added, "I urge you and all members of Congress to avoid measures that will further divide and inflame current sentiments."
He concluded by saying, "I promise you that I will continue to do my part to work in good faith with the next administration to ensure an orderly transfer of power."
Pence's negative response ensures that Democrats will present to the House of Representatives on Wednesday accusations of Trump of "inciting disobedience" in the January 6 takeover of the Capitol by his supporters. In the second historical measure isolation Against the President of the Republic.

The Northern California Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) just announced that Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bill 1370, introduced by Senator Tom Berryhill (R-Modesto/Fresno). Based on my experience in California since 1997 and my archived files back to the 1980s, I believe this is the first stand-alone legislative bill sponsored by Associated Builders and Contractors to become law in California.
Senate Bill 1370 requires the California Department of Industrial Relations to post on its web site a list of every California code section and the language of those sections that require construction contractors to pay state-mandated wage rates (so-called prevailing wages) to workers in the construction trades and in certain professional construction services. The list must be posted by June 1, 2013 and updated annually each February 1.
California law is peppered with numerous and inconsistent references outside of the Labor Code to projects for which contractors are required to pay state-mandated construction wage rates. There are even two prevailing wage requirements embedded in the text of the California Fish and Game Code (Sections 1350 and 1501.5).
With the enactment of Senate Bill 1370, contractors will be able to better comply with state requirements for construction wage rates. Workers will have a better chance of knowing when their employer needs to pay state-mandated wage rates, no matter how obscure the project. And the public will learn that state-mandated construction wage rates apply to much more than what is typically considered to be a public works project. Fish and Game.

A pretty enough lagoon by day, the Glistening Waters at night is an eerie, ethereal experience.
Any agitation to the still, black water produces a strange and beautiful blue-green light. Boats leave shimmering waves in their wake, fish dart by like little neon lanterns and swimmers paint the water with glowing trails. The ghostly glow comes from an abundant population of microscopic dinoflagellates that thrive in the brackish lagoon, and Glistening Waters is one of only a handful of places in the world where these bioluminescent organisms can be observed and studied year-round.
Dinoflagellates can be found in all the world's oceans, occasionally in high concentrations, but these sudden surges of population are hard to predict and generally don't last long. The unicellular organism requires a very specific set of conditions to survive in, and it is an extremely rare and fragile ecosystem that can support them permanently. Generally no more than eight feet deep, Glistening Waters is formed where the fresh waters of the Martha Brae River combine with the Caribbean's saltwater, creating a warm, shallow, brackish environment that is ideal for the dinoflagellates.
Vitamin B12 is another key element to their successful growth, and the red mangrove trees which line the water provide plenty for the dinoflagellates to feed on. Bioluminescence occurs as a chemical reaction within the organism when excited or disturbed by movement. It is thought that the flashes of light are a defense mechanism, meant to startle potential predators or even attract those higher up on the food chain to prey on the smaller aquatic life that feeds on dinoflagellates. Following a circadian rhythm, the bioluminescence occurs only at night which allows the dinoflagellates to essentially recharge during the day. The more sunshine the lagoon receives during the day the brighter the organisms will glow at night, so it's best not to visit following a rainy day or during a full moon.
Bioluminescence is a fascinating phenomenon that is still not fully understood, and scientists from around the world have been drawn to Glistening Waters because it offers ideal conditions for studying dinoflagellates. As for the tourists, if the natural beauty isn't enough of a lure, Jamaican folklore has deemed the luminous lagoon a sort of fountain of youth. Legend has it that women who swim in the mineral-rich waters become more beautiful and look younger, while men supposedly benefit from an increase in penis size and new levels of virility.
Located in Falmouth, Jamaica on the North shore of the island off of A1, 20 minutes East of Montego Bay and 45 minutes West of Ocho Rios.
Tours out into the lagoon are running nightly once the sun sets. The boat operators will regale visitors to both the truth and folklore of the lagoon. Visitors can float in the waters and enjoy the illumination of this true natural oddity.

Identifying Circulating and Lung Tissue Cytokines Associated with Thoracic Irradiation and AEOL 10150 Treatment in a Nonhuman Primate Model
Wanchang Cui, Kim G. Hankey, Pei Zhang, David L. Bolduc, Rolf Bünger ...
Journal: Radiation Research
Radiat Res (2020) 194 (1): 81–88.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1667/RR14310.1
Inflammatory cytokines have been suggested to play important roles in radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). Identifying significantly changed circulating and tissue cytokines after thoracic irradiation will aid in deciphering the mechanism of RILI and identifying potential biomarkers to predict clinical outcome. Herein, the levels of 24 cytokines were measured in serial plasma samples and lung tissue samples collected from a pilot study where nonhuman primates (NHPs) received 11.5 Gy whole thoracic lung irradiation (WTLI) and were then treated with or without a medical countermeasure, AEOL 10150 [a superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic]. Seven plasma cytokines (i.e., IP-10, MCP-1, IL-12, IL-15, IL-16, IL-7 and IL-6) were found to be significantly changed at different time points due to WTLI. Plasma IP-10 and MDC were significantly changed between the vehicle group and the drug group. The levels of IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, TARC, IL-17, TNF-β and IL-6 were significantly elevated in the lung tissue lysates of NHPs that received WTLI versus radiation-naïve NHPs. The terminal plasma concentrations of IP-10, MDC, TARC, IL-12, IL-15 and IL-6 were significantly correlated with their levels in the lung tissue. The levels of four cytokines (MCP-4, IL-17, TNF-β and IL-2) at early time points (≤8 weeks postirradiation) were significantly correlated with their terminal plasma levels, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that circulating cytokines could be discriminatory predictors of AEOL 10150 treatment. Taken together, our data suggested that the cytokine profiles were significantly changed after WTLI as well as mitigator treatment, and that the plasma cytokine profiles could potentially be used to distinguish vehicle or mitigator treatment after WTLI in a NHP model.
Urine Interleukin-18 (IL-18) as a Biomarker of Total-Body Irradiation: A Preliminary Study in Nonhuman Primates
Mang Xiao, David L. Bolduc, XiangHong Li, Wanchang Cui, Kevin P. Hieber ...
Radiat Res (2017) 188 (3): 325–334.
We have reported that circulating IL-18 can be used as a radiation biomarker in mice, minipigs and nonhuman primates (NHPs, Macaca mulatta ). Here, we report the levels of IL-18 in individual NHP's urine before and at 6 h–7 days after 5.0, 6.5 and 8.5 Gy 60 Co total-body irradiation (TBI) using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Six animals (3.5–5.5 kg, 3–4 years old) per radiation dose were investigated. Correlation values between urine IL-18 and blood cell counts and serum chemistry parameters including lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lipase, and serum total protein (TP), as well as between urine IL-18 and 60-day survival, were analyzed. Our data, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time, demonstrate that concentrations of urine IL-18 from irradiated NHPs were increased in a radiation dose-dependent manner compared to pre-TBI levels in samples from these animal (N = 18, 11.02 ± 1.3 pg/ml). A 5.0 Gy low dose of radiation (∼LD 10/60 ) did not increase urine IL-18 levels. In contrast, high-dose TBI significantly increased urine IL-18 at day 1 to day 5 in a bell-shaped time course, reaching a peak of 5- to 10-fold of control levels on day 3 after 6.5 Gy (∼LD 50/60 ) and 8.5 Gy (∼LD 90/60 ), respectively. Statistical analysis using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) and MultiROC analysis indicated that white blood cell and platelet counts, serum LDH, lipase and TP, when combined with urine IL-18, provide discriminatory predictors of total-body radiation injury with a very high ROC area of 0.98. Urine IL-18 measurement, as an early prognostic indicator of survival, may facilitate rapid detection of lethal doses of radiation, based on the currently available data set.


Background The U.S. market for medical imaging equipment increased from $6.7 billion in 2005 to an estimated $7.8 billion in 2007. It should reach $11.6 billion in 2012, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. Medical imaging has brought about great improvements in the quality of health care. New medical technologies, such as advances in diagnostic imaging, are widely considered a major driver of the rise in healthcare spending in the United States. One reason is that innovations in medical imaging often translate into safer and less invasive means of treatment.
Within this imaging market, the immediate target opportunities are: the rigid endoscope market, which is estimated at $1.0B; the flexible endoscope market, estimated at $1.2B; and the research confocal market, which is believed to be worth an estimated $375M.
Commercially available confocal microscopes use bulky free-space optics and are large, cumbersome, expensive, and can only be used for histopathology on biopsy samples. Current early detection is often impeded by poor visual access, difficulty to determine which regions will become malignant, and unwillingness of patients to undergo surgical biopsy for a screening test.
Invention Description Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a method and assembly process to create an ultra-miniaturized high-resolution optical imaging endoscope by monolithically integrating an objective beam-focusing lens element onto the surface of a two-dimensional scanning micromirror. The endoscope design can be designed to be either "forward-looking" or "sideways-looking." Multi-modal operation, plus simultaneous scanning and objective focusing, provides the best of both characteristics.
One of the most significant advantages of the invention is the ability to achieve sharp focus and polarization-independent operation. This is achieved without the need for bulky objective lenses or GRIN focusing elements, which are typically manually assembled into the endoscope. Other advantages are the portability of the device and low cost as a result of the batch fabrication of miniature elements using standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques, which drives cost down while ensuring precision manufacturing standards.
Batch fabrication may provide low-cost mass production of precision Fresnel lenses. Integrated optics on-chip design minimizes alignment of movable optical elements. Polarized-independent operation minimizes optical losses. Endoscope assembly becomes much easier and inexpensive due to fewer internal elements.
Market Potential/Applications Some uses of this technology would be for integration with the rigid endoscope, flexible endoscope, and research benchtop endoscopes. This ultra-miniaturized high resolution optical endoscopic imaging system can be used for the imaging of human organs (heart, bladder, colon, reproductive organs, liver, etc.) that have been typically inaccessible to current generation of optical endoscopes.
The rigid endoscope field has several applications needs for miniaturized confocal technology, which is driven by strong interest from physicians for intra-operative applications requiring real-time imaging, cellular level information, and accurate detection and diagnosis for immediate therapeutic intervention. Flexible endoscope applications include primarily diagnostic medical instruments used in the gastrointestinal tract to image cellular and sub-cellular structures in real time and beneath the surface of tissue. The traditional laboratory research benchtop (non-miniaturized) confocal microscopes (pre-clinical research applications) use fluorescent method to provide sub-micron resolution imaging information without physically removing tissue for histological processing and examination.


and does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD, before the LORD's Tabernacle, bloodguilt shall be imputed to that man: he has shed blood; that man shall be cut off from among his people.
and that they may offer their sacrifices no more to the goat-demons after whom they stray. This shall be to them a law for all time, throughout the ages.
and does not bring it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting to offer it to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.
And if anyone of the house of Israel or of the strangers who reside among them partakes of any blood, I will set My face against the person who partakes of the blood, and I will cut him off from among his kin.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have assigned it to you for making expiation for your lives upon the altar; it is the blood, as life, that effects expiation.
Therefore I say to the Israelite people: No person among you shall partake of blood, nor shall the stranger who resides among you partake of blood.
And if any Israelite or any stranger who resides among them hunts down an animal or a bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.
For the life of all flesh—its blood is its life. Therefore I say to the Israelite people: You shall not partake of the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Anyone who partakes of it shall be cut off.
Any person, whether citizen or stranger, who eats what has died or has been torn by beasts shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening; then he shall be clean.
But if he does not wash [his clothes] and bathe his body, he shall bear his guilt.

Hollywood has been churning out horror flicks for a long time now, but if you notice carefully, their frequency has doubled over the years, especially of horror franchises. When we talk about some successful Hollywood horror franchises, one series that we can never forget is James Wan's Conjuring which has been slowly building an MCU-style interconnected horror universe over the years.
After the worldwide success of The Nun in 2018, 2019 is set to witness the return of the sinister Victorian doll Annabelle in the form of the third installment from the Annabelle franchise. Warner Brothers have released a short teaser, which confirms the title of the most-awaited horror film. The short teaser features no footage from the film, but it does announce the official title which is Annabelle Comes Home. Annabelle 3 Comes Home is a sequel to Annabelle: Creation (2017) and, of course, the original film Annabelle (2014).
The flick is written and directed by director Gary Dauberman, who is making his directorial debut with the horror flick. He has previously written the first two films in the popular horror franchise based on a devil doll from The Conjuring cinematic universe. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are set to reprise their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren respectively from the Conjuring films. Mckenna Grace, Madison Iseman, and Katie Sarife join the cast to play supporting roles.
Annabelle Comes Home once again revolves around the possessed doll Annabelle, who is stored in the Warrens' Artifacts Room. The Warrens believe the doll can do no harms from their Artifacts Room, but they are proved wrong when it sets evil sights on their 10-year-old daughter Judy (Mckenna Grace).
The much-awaited project has been bankrolled by James Wan under the banner of Atomic Monster alongside Peter Safran of The Safran Company. The movie is set to buzz into cinemas on June 28, 2019.

Unusual Article Uncovers the Deceptive Practices of Nac2h3o2 Acid or Base
How to Choose Nac2h3o2 Acid or Base
An acid-base reaction is known as a neutralization reaction. Therefore, they're also called water-forming reactions. Notice I did not bother to modify moles to molarities. The simplest thing to do is figure out the number of moles of all you have.
The engineers who design air bags are in a position to ascertain the precise quantity of chemicals required to inflate the air bag to the suitable volume, and in the suitable timeframe. Students are now prepared to start the lab. It might be beneficial to assess the chemistry behind airbags by heading to How Airbags Work, which offers a comprehensive description of the operation of an air bag.
Its aqueous solution has the capacity to uptake carbon dioxide. It's also utilised in the creation of snus (Swedish-style snuff) to stabilize the pH of the end item. It is crucial to get just the correct quantity of gas in the air bag. Qdos pumps offer you long maintenance intervals, reducing the effect of process downtime and lowering the total price of ownership. For instance, it is employed as a pH regulator to keep stable alkaline conditions essential for the action of the vast majority of photographic film developing agents. What's the pH that's created when a 500.
If you just have acid, then you have to do a pure K problem and should you just have base (such as whenever the titration is complete) then you have to do a K issue. This step isn't required since the volume is the exact same for the acid in solution and the base. It is dependent upon the quantity of acid and base used to ready the buffer. Be aware that, in a fundamental solution, NaHCO3 is not as water-soluble than sodium chloride. We know it's weak because it's not a water-soluble hydroxide. Ammonium chloride is employed as an expectorant in cough medication. Sodium carbonate is also utilized in the creation of sherbet powder.
In chemistry, it's often utilized as an electrolyte. Electrolytes are usually salt-based, and sodium carbonate functions as a very great conductor in the practice of electrolysis. This can cause uraemic acidosis or renal tubular acidosis also. This is the absolute most clinically practical means to classify metabolic acidosis and it's used extensively when assessing metabolic acidosis. Hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis tends to be connected with acute infective diarrhoea. This leads to a hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis. In some cases due to their usage in prostate disease they've been demonstrated to create atrophy of the prostatic tissue in humans.
The Meaning of Nac2h3o2 Acid or Base
Failing to eliminate the contaminants will slower the procedure and shorten the life span of the electrolytic solution. To put it differently, a buffer. Safe, zero tools maintenance. There'll be an unknown in the log part of the Henderson-Hasselbalch.
The Bizarre Secret of Nac2h3o2 Acid or Base
The procedure by which either forms is known as hydrolysis. Taking away the water from the crystals by the use of heat yields the anhydrous type of sodium carbonate, called soda ash. As discussed in the prior lesson, this procedure occurs to only a small extent. So only the very first step is going to be completed here. This moment, M2 from the former problem is M1 for this issue. We'll expect the rest of the bases to be weak.
1 possibility is the growth in anions can be too low to push the anion gap from the reference range. The situation might also be because of the large normal reach of the anion gap. This could lead to a circumstance where the anion gap is simply elevated slightly or still within the standard range because of the blend of small errors in the measurement of the component electrolytes. Often, the issue will supply the pKa. There are TWO problems in the definition of this sort of metabolic acidosis which could lead to confusion. This isn't a homework question. In addition, it examines a number of the safety issues surrounding air bags.
A History of Nac2h3o2 Acid or Base Refuted
In some cases though some factors could be involved or there might be some doubt about which cause is the most significant. The result is aesthetic to prevent staining sanitary ware. On the other hand, the percent decline in plasma bicarbonate was significantly more compact than the percent reduction in PaCO2 (Fig. 2). The end result was acceptable and therefore the objective of the experiment was fulfilled. Thus the last result won't be impacted. This is sometimes due to a key influence on the hypothalamus or mediated by means of an effect on testicular steroid production. Loss of these secretions can lead to a hyperchloraemic acidosis because of the high bicarbonate amounts in these secretions.

Discovering London's history
supplying – providing something to someone who wants or needs it
sourced locally – obtained from somewhere not far away
imported – brought goods from another country
distributed – sent to people who had bought it
commercial – for the purposes of business
Where did William Leftwich import his ice from?
Hidden, buried beneath the bustling streets of London, this ice well, was once one of the largest of its kind - storing and supplying ice to the whole capital.
David Sorapure, Museum of London Archaeology
It was built in the 1780s. Originally, the ice well was used to store ice sourced locally and that would have come from rivers and canals and it was pretty disgusting. There was whatever you can imagine that was floating in a river or canal could have easily ended up in this ice house. But in the 1820s, William Leftwich took over the ice well. He imported his ice from Norway and it was much better quality ice.
And it became big business here in the capital.
After being transported up the Regent's Canal, the large chunks of ice would have been brought into this egg-shaped well, 9.5 metres deep and 7.5 metres wide. When it was ready, it would've been taken to the top and distributed across London.
Grant Lipton, Director of Great Marlborough Estates
It was sold off to the local landowners, who wanted to come and buy a bit of ice, before the days of refrigerators as we know them. And the local landowners would buy it, or it was used for medical use, and people would come along and just buy a small portion.
And that wasn't its only use. It was also sold to butchers, fishmongers, restaurants, and for people entertaining.
What we recognise today as a sorbet –they were very popular. It was a way of entertaining your guests with something that was previously only really affordable by the aristocracy. But now, because of the large commercial ice well, that more people are able to access that little luxury.
It managed to survive the Blitz and was rediscovered during recent developments.
It's hoped that it will be open to the public via a new viewing corridor by next year. But in the meantime, this unique historical site contains only echoes of the past.
He imported his ice from Norway because it was much better quality.
The world-famous ICEHOTEL in Sweden is a hotel made from ice from the nearby frozen Torne River. In the summer the hotel melts and the water returns to its source.

Q: How can i learn reason of server load? Nowadays i'm trying to change develop my system so i have been editing my files. But last 2-3 days my site gets more error(500) causing server load. How can i learn that reason of server load?

A: For some reason you have run out of allocatable PHP memory.
PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1572864) (tried to allocate 65536 bytes)

Either you have done something very odd to your code or what you are doing requires more memory to run properly.
Try this:
Edit your php.ini and change this parameter
memory_limit = 128M

yours may be set to 128Meg as thats the default, if it is try changing it to
memory_limit = 256M

Meet NYU Stern's MBA Class of 2018
by: Jeff Schmitt on October 31, 2016 | 0 Comments Comments | 19,327 Views
In grade school, the three R's — reading, writing, and arithmetic — were the foundation of the curriculum. When you come to New York University's Stern School of Business, you'll find a new set of priorities driving the program. They're called the three C's: classroom, careers, and character.
"We seek and screen for not only academic excellence but also emotional intelligence during our admissions process," explains Isser Gallogly, the school's associate dean of MBA admissions. "We believe this combination is what makes Stern's community unique and is especially critical to future leadership success."
SCHOOL SEEKS STUDENTS WITH HIGH IQs AND EQs
Indeed, such balance is considered key to long-term career success, let alone being admitted into Stern. Here, the community views the pursuit of knowledge as vanity unless it is accompanied by integrity and conveyed through soft skills. "What sets Stern students apart is this IQ versus EQ," Gallogly said in a 2015 interview with Poets&Quants, "the fact that they understand how to interact with people, how to lead people, that they have superior communications skills, and are very collaborative."
That doesn't mean candidates have to be perfect. In fact, Gallogly says, Stern welcomes flaws — provided they're tempered by self-awareness and humility. "The biggest sign of strength is being okay saying what your weakness is. The more that you understand that, the more you can put yourself in a position to be successful — or by getting people around you, teammates who can help you address areas that you're not as good in."
Isser Gallogly, NYU Stern School of Business assistant dean of MBA admissions
So how does the Class of 2018 rate according to these values? They are an "extraordinary group" Gallogly says. "Individually, they represent a diverse set of professional backgrounds, cultures and experiences," he notes. "Collectively, they are a high-potential group with a passion for Stern and strong 'IQ plus EQ.'"
FIRST-YEAR RETURNS FROM BATTLEFIELD INJURIES TO LEAD AN INFANTRY COMPANY
The class isn't shy about admitting their faults, which can easily morph into strengths depending on the situation. Sohnhwa Lee, a U.S. Navy supply officer, calls herself a "stubborn but sweet-hearted, independent woman who loves to explore and laugh." She is joined by Allison Kantor, a Big Apple native who's a "happy, self-proclaimed type A, literary nerd, quick to laugh and thirsty for knowledge." Like Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama, Allie Esslinger left the South to make it big in her adopted home of New York City. A film producer, she lists her loves as iced coffee and the Alabama Crimson Tide, adding, "I believe television can save the world."
Then there's Ricardo Albrey, a native of Canada and Venezuela who was seemingly born to study at Stern: "I am an adventurous, world-traveling, bicultural, and sustainability-conscious problem solver." Don't expect the big city to intimidate him one bit. "I am not scared of heights — I have rappelled down the exterior of high-rise buildings on a set of ropes over 100 times."
It is an equally inspiring and accomplished class. After being wounded in combat and spending two years in and out of hospitals, Chris Larsen returned to the U.S. Army to become an infantry company commander. Lee was one of the first female officers to serve on a submarine. Esslinger launched her own production company, Olive Juice Films, which has already developed an original series. Equally impressive, Kantor climbed into a leadership role at Bloomingdale's despite her nontraditional background. "I came to Bloomingdale's as a religious studies major from a liberal arts college and pushed myself to learn how to be comfortable with the financials of running a business."
AVERAGE GMATs PLUMMET 10 POINTS AS APPLICATIONS RISE
By the numbers, it was an up-and-down class. Applications rose from 3,696 to 3,773 in 2015-2016. At the same time, the school's acceptance rate rose from 20% to 23% — a percentage that's equivalent to those at similar high-powered programs like Tuck, Booth, and Fuqua. However, the incoming class was noticeably smaller at 392 students, 12 fewer than the 2017 Class but in line with class populations from 2012-2015.
The big news, however, came with average GMAT scores, which had settled in the 719-721 range for the past five years. In 2015-2016, the average plunged to 710, with scores going from 650-760 in the 80% range (with 790 being the highest score and 560 being the lowest). That said, average undergraduate GPAs held steady at 3.51.

On a positive note, the percentage of women rose from 34% to 35% for the 2018 Class, with the percentage of underrepresented minorities growing from 9% to 12% (American minorities, as a whole, accounted for 30% of the class). Alas, these gains were accompanied by a 6% drop in international students, to 31% — the lowest mark in six years.
CLASS OF 2016 SEES STARTING PAY JUMP
Despite being 15 minutes from Wall Street, Stern isn't necessarily a refuge for quants. Thirty-eight percent of the 2018 Class majored in social sciences, humanities, and the arts as undergrads, up 3% from the previous class. Business majors also increased by 5%, from 24% to 29%, while STEM majors' 20% share stayed the same. Economics majors comprised the remainder of the class. When it comes to professional experience, though, quants headline a deeply diverse class — just not to the extent most might expect. Finance accounts for 26% of the class, with only consulting (10%) matching it in double digits.
By graduation, these numbers shift quite a bit … in some sectors, at least. Finance remains the biggest draw for Stern graduates, with 35.3% of the 2016 class choosing the field. Notably, 28.2% entered investment banking, with another 5% joining asset management and diversified financial services and 1% finding their way into hedge funds. Consulting drew 28.5% of the class — a number that has nearly doubled since 2010.

The Top 100 UK Women In Video Games
MCV Staff 8th March 2013	Events
Influential leaders, development inspirations and unsung heroes populate the first list of the top women working in the UK games industry.
Put together in association with Women in Games Jobs, and published today, the list recognises women from all areas of the games industry working within the UK.
Professionals from a cross-section of levels make up the list, with names on the list falling into one of five categories: management/directors, production execs and developers, media and PR, education and trade bodies, and retail or publishing sales and marketing.
The list, originally announced to name 50 leading female professionals from the UK games industry, was expanded to name 100 after an overwhelming number of suggestions from the trade. A judging panel including Gina Jackson, games consultant and CEO of Women in Games Jobs; Debbie Bestwick managing director of Team 17; Siobhan Reddy, studio director of Media Molecule; and MCV editor-in-chief Michael French helped hone down the list.
The Top 100 Women In Games list is published to day, Friday March 8th, as part of International Women's Day celebrations.
International Women's Day IWD has been running since the early 1900s and is an official holiday in many countries from Afghanistan to Zambia.
According to the latest statistics available from Creative Skillset the number of women in the games workforce is just six per cent, having dropped from 16 per cent in 2000.

A man with special needs is speaking out after he was left badly bruised by police. Twenty-two-year-old Gilberto Powell, who has Down Syndrome, is left with horrible bruises and scars on his face after he had an encounter with police outside his home. "That's my son. That's my baby. I really love this little boy. He's my love," said Powell's mother, Josephine. According to the family, they were inside their Southwest Miami-Dade home last Saturday when Powell, who is also called Liko, called his parents on his cell phone to let them know he was walking a block from his friend's house. On his way home, Liko said, "The police followed me." Liko said, the officer smacked him in the face with an open hand and knocked him to the ground. "His whole hand," he said. According to the police report, a Miami-Dade Police officer noticed a bulge in Liko's waistband. The officer attempted to conduct a pat down, and Powell tried to run away. "I said, 'Didn't you know he was a Down Syndrome kid?' And he said, 'No, I'm not a doctor. I don't know.' And I said, 'Well, you can see it in his face that he is a Down Syndrome kid."

'Gentle little old lady': Meet Cobar's 87-year-old 'fiesty' mayor
By 9Honey| 1 year ago
Why she's telling politicians to stick it
Lilliane Brady is the longest serving female mayor in New South Wales.
At 87-years-old, Mayor Brady was recently given the Lifetime Achievement Award for holding the role for 18 years in Cobar, where she's been a local councillor for 35 years.
Nine's A Current Affair spent the day with Mayor Brady and discovered she's a tough nut and dedicated to her community.
"I just always want to represent the battler," Mayor Brady tells ACA reporter Dimity Clancey.
Lilliane Brady, the longest serving female mayor in New South Wales, has been honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award (Nine)
The working-class community survives off copper and gold, and perhaps the spirit of its leader.
Men outnumber women, but when it comes to decision making Mayor Brady certainly rules the roost. She's feisty, she's loud and she isn't afraid to tell you how it is.
"I'm just a gentle little old lady," Mayor Brady says.
Her colleagues respect her and say while she can be a little intimidating at times, it's probably for good reason.
"Probably I'm very outspoken and I won't listen to 'no' from the politicians.
"They're just ordinary, they're only there like you and I, so I won't listen to their dust."
When asked what her top leadership quality is Mayor Brady says, "Being strong - you've got to think of your rate payer first".
'I just always want to represent the battler,' Mayor Brady told ACA of her decision to get into politics (Nine)
Mrs Brady has been the Mayor of Cobar for 18 years (Nine)
She moved to Cobar, initially, for just 12 months more 50 years ago. Her late husband, Alan, was the town's GP.
"When I came here, there was no nursing home and an old man had died and was sent to Orange to die and my husband came home and told me.
"I was very fond of this lovely old man and I went up to the hospital and I questioned why they do that and he said, 'That's our policy' and I said, 'Then stick it! We'll build our own'."
And so she did.
Since 1982 The Lilliane Brady village has been home to Cobar's elderly.
And the 87-year-old is leaving behind a legacy as she serves her final term in office (Nine)
"I am proud of the town," Mayor Brady says.
"I am proud of Cobar and I am proud of the staff as well, because the staff have made it what it is."
Mayor Brady says she's serving her final term in local government, but hopes her legacy never dies.
And her message to women who strive to be strong leaders?
"Get on with it and be a woman, stand up for your ground and men will respect that."
The mayor advises other women: 'stand up for your ground and men will respect that' (Nine)

Elton John said Michael Jackson was mentally ill
October 15, 2019 by Brayden Smith
Elton John's ME was published in the US on October 15, but some of the content was revealed first. In the book, the singer recounts the last encounters with Michael Jackson, before the "king of pop" died of drug shock in 2009. "I knew MJ when he was 13, 14 years old – when he was a child In the last years of his life, Michael isolates himself from the world, only God knows what kind of medicine he thinks of and what drugs he uses. I write these lines with sympathy. Michael is clearly mentally ill and makes people around annoying, "Elton John said.
According to Elton, Michael did not receive help from colleagues and friends. "He just wants to hear the words going on," he wrote. The singer also said that Michael Jackson avoided interacting with friends, preferring to play with children in the last years. At a party at his home, Elton saw Michael go out to play video games with his maid's son. Michael looks skinny and emaciated. The male singer did not touch the food served at the party.
The NY Times says the autobiography ME reveals many of Elton John's life stories such as getting married, adoption, and relationships with famous artists like Freddie Mercury and John Lennon … "I wrote the book, so that when I die, the children can read and learn the truth about their fathers, "Elton said.
Elton John, 72, is an English singer and songwriter. He started his career in 1962 and has sold over 300 million albums. He has won the Grammy five times and one time Oscar. The singer currently lives with his partner David Furnish and two adopted children. In May, the biopic about Elton John – Rocketman – was released and revealed many hidden corners of sex addiction and drugs of the singer.

When Paul Johnson talks about the thin line that often differentiates winning and losing, Georgia Tech's head football coach speaks from recent experience.
Just last season the Yellow Jackets time and again edged over the smoother side of the razor with a few nicks where several times this fall they've snagged the blade of an especially sharp schedule.
Tech has made just enough mistakes at the wrong times, and/or seen an opponent make just enough of the right plays at the right times, to slip to 2-5.
A year ago, multiple games went the other way, starting with back-to-back-to-back wins against Tulane where the Jackets overcame three deficits, Georgia Southern with 23 seconds left in the game and at Virginia Tech as time expired.
The moxie Tech gained from pulling those games out of the fire steeled the Jackets as they went 11-3 and won the Orange Bowl. Call it the effect of compounding.
That swag is missing this season. The Jackets have not re-tracked the collective belief that they're able to do what's necessary down the stretch. Instead, they hope.
"I don't think there's any question that there's a confidence factor that comes into it, and when there's guys going, 'What's going to happen next?' as opposed to, 'I'm going to go win this thing,' " Johnson said Monday.
Sure, Tech has had a time replacing two senior wide receivers who were drafted into the NFL, and the matriculation of the team's top three B-backs and four B-backs plus the offseason dismissal of another have shown up.
Injuries to young players in some of those same positions have hurt as well.
Yet with the exception of a 43-24 loss at Clemson and probably a 30-22 loss at Notre Dame where the Jackets took too long to set their bearings in their first away game, Tech has been within range.
The Jackets aren't terribly far from flipping the 2 and the 5, and whether choosing to call it a game of inches, of breaks, or even if suggesting that this season's karma is balancing that of 2014, the differences are thinner than thick.
Last season, the Jackets scored the final 21 points to win 38-21 at Tulane, and then pulled the Georgia Southern game out of the abyss.
The Eagles were ahead and moving, when a weird play went Tech's way.
As GSU optioned, safety Jamal Golden got his hand on a pitch – Or was it a pass? – and the ball hit the grass. Tech recovered, and drove to a game-winning score as Justin Thomas passed 13 yards to Deon Hill with 23 seconds left for a 42-38 win.
If that toss was a pass – and it was close enough to go to replay – it would've been ruled incomplete, and the Eagles would've maintained possession.
A week later in Blacksburg, Tech scored 10 points in the final 2:03 – including Harrison Butker's 24-yard field goal as time expired – to win 27-24.
In that one, Hokies quarterback Michael Brewer threw three fourth-quarter interceptions. Tech linebacker Paul Davis returned one 41 yards for a touchdown.
Soon, the Jackets faced fourth-and-15 while trailing 24-17 (after Brewer had run 21 yards for the lead). Thomas connected with wide receiver DeAndre Smelter for 19, and then 31 to tie the game.
Moments later, Brewer threw a nearly inexplicable interception to D.J. White, and the Jackets drove for the win.
Four weeks later, the Jackets won 56-28 at Pitt despite giving up 526 yards of offense. How? Tech ran for 465, totaled 612, and cashed in on six fumbles lost by the Panthers, including an NCAA record-tying five in the first quarter alone.
In a 28-6 win over Clemson, Jamal Golden and Chris Milton had long interception returns for touchdowns, both coming off a backup quarterback after starter DeShaun Watson was injured.
There has been a shortage of timely and pivotal plays this season.
Tech had fourth quarter opportunities at Duke, where one ended as Thomas was stripped from behind when trying an option, and against North Carolina, where the Jackets were stalled at the goal line on three tries.
Newer and older players are pitching in with mistakes.
The Jackets are +3 in turnover margin this season, yet they are not taking the ball away as often as last season, when they created a turnover on a FBS-leading 26 percent of all opponents' possessions and led the ACC at +11.
Tech has scored 57 points off 13 takeaways (4.4 points per). Last season, the Jackets scored 137 points off 29 thefts (4.7), including an ACC-high six defensive touchdowns scored.
The Jackets have one defensive touchdown this season. That came when tackle Adam Gotsis covered a fumble in the end zone at Clemson.
That game was out of reach.
Game-changing moments are eluding Tech.
Twice last Saturday, Pittsburgh's Tyler Boyd fumbled punts. Neither time were the Jackets able to recover.
Ultimately, the Panthers converted two fourth downs on their game-winning drive, the strangest 14-play, seven minute-nine second drive seen in years. Pitt covered just 31 yards in that time.
Gotsis had a chance to block the 56-yard field goal that won last the game for Pitt. He broke up the middle and got his arms up. But Chris Blewitt's school-record kick somehow missed the big Australian and took off wide only to hook inside the right upright with 1:11 left.
Before Saturday night's game against Florida State even kicks off, it bears similarity to the last five.
The Seminoles are 6-0 and ranked No. 9 on the heels of a Tech run against No. 11 Notre Dame (6-1), No. 23 Duke (5-1), North Carolina (5-1), No. 6 Clemson (6-0) and No. 25 Pitt (5-1).
Another stout opponent looms. The Jackets will look to make their own breaks in search of an upset.
"I think probably experience certainly factors in," Johnson said. "I don't know if there's a huge difference between last year and this year. With the exception of the offense is not quite as good.
