Michelle Troxclair
August 21, 2015 by Daisy Hutzell-Rodman
This article appears in July/August Omaha Magazine.
At the risk of stating the obvious, Michelle Troxclair commands a full life.
She's a poet, spoken word artist, and founding member of the storytelling troupe The Wordsmiths. By day, she works as deputy director of the Nebraska Writers Collective, a nonprofit organization that promotes creative writing and performance poetry throughout the Midwest. With fellow poet Felicia Webster, she runs the Verbal Gumbo open mic at House of Loom every third Thursday of the month. She will graduate this July with a Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing from the University of Nebraska-Omaha—her second postgraduate degree. She's a mother of three, an advocate for individuals living with autism, and an awe-inspiring woman who makes at least one Omaha Magazine contributor feel like an indolent narcissist by comparison.
As if all that weren't enough, Troxclair is currently engaged in a residency with The Wordsmiths at Bemis Center's Carver Bank. The group is working on a spoken art showcase addressing domestic violence (Love Didn't Do That To You) and a new project dealing with corporal punishment and violence within the African-American community (From the Whip to the Switch to the Gun).
"I've got my fingers in a lot of stuff right now," she quips.
For a good introduction to Troxclair's poetry, check out her YouTube videos, particularly "The Trigger," an urgent work addressed to an unnamed police officer that has unjustifiably killed a black woman. The performance starts with a single shadowy figure clad in a black hoodie staring at the floor of a stark white room whose brick walls are cracked and peeling—a subtle visual symbol of the entrapment many black Americans feel subjected to by a predominantly white bureaucratic power structure. The poem surges on the waves of Troxclair's words as her cadence quickens, slows, and syncopates around gut-punch metaphors and unflinching appeals to civility. At the piece's climax, the shadow-figure, Troxclair herself, removes her hood and speaks directly to the camera:
You don't know me. I am a 46-year-old mother of three. I'm a homeowner, taxpayer, and I got a master's degree. I don't want you to love me, like me, or even respect me. I just need you to let me be. So please take your finger off the trigger.
It's an uncompromising performance that stays with you, a piece that wouldn't cut so soul-deep if rendered only in print.
Besides developing her own powerful art, Troxclair takes pride in cultivating Omaha's young poetic talent through Nebraska Writers Collective's Louder Than a Bomb initiative: an extensive poetry-writing and performance workshop conducted in area schools and capped by a friendly tournament. The program strives to reach students who might not be served by such activities as sports, music, or visual arts.
"[Louder Than a Bomb] gives me, at age 46, hope that the next generation is thinking and they're active and speaking truth to power…and using words to do it. It's absolutely amazing what they have to say."
Some of these students will go on to become the next powerhouses in Omaha's poetry scene. In fact, Troxclair says, The Wordsmiths are bringing in younger members "just for some new energy and innovative stuff.
"I'm the elder here," she adds, laughing, "and eventually, I will be leaving."
But not before leaving a legacy that will cast the longest of shadows.

Inventors of the First Sports Bra Inducted into Hall of Fame
Our girls need strong examples of women that aren't afraid to stand up and blaze a trail. Women who took the brave step forward to break a barrier, not just for themselves, but for the generations of women that come after them.
In 1977, three women came together and did just that. Each with their own personal superpower, they found a way to bring something into existence that would change the face of women's athletic wear and women's participation in sports forever At this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Lisa Lindahl, Hinda Miller, and Polly Smith were honored for their invention of the Jogbra and will be inducted into the National Inventor's Hall of Fame on May 6, 2020.
This brainchild initially came from Lindahl, an avid runner from Burlington, Vermont, who discovered that conventional bras lacked the support and design needed for the level of physical exertion running required. She wanted a bra with stable straps, breathable fabric, compression...and comfort. Lindahl asked Polly Smith, her childhood friend and costume designer for assistance in creating something that could meet the need.
Polly referenced the world of men's athletic wear and sewed two jockstraps together, which Lindahl wore on her runs. After real-life testing, Smith modified the prototype, adding non-chafing seams and an elastic band for support. Lisa Lindahl partnered with Hinda Miller to co-found Jogbra Inc. in 1977. The garment, created out of necessity and passion, was patented in 1979.
Jogbra, which grew into a multi-million-dollar business, is credited with helping millions of women run in comfort and with confidence. The impact of the Jogbra on women's health and the growth of women's sports is undeniable thus earning Lisa Lindahl, Hinda Miller, and Polly Smith their historic membership in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Keep in mind, the National Inventors Hall of Fame only started inducting women in 1991 and to date, of 603 inductees, only 47 are women—less than 8%.
Dragonwing's beginnings were much like Lisa Lindahl's. Founder MaryAnne Gucciardi repeatedly found herself and her athletic tween daughter at a loss when shopping for appropriate and supportive sports bras, athletic camis and compression shorts designed specifically for young girls.
Much like Polly Smith, MaryAnne focused on creating a highly functional sports bra. A major pain point for girls are straps that slip, droop or chafe. Another is a sports bra that rides up because the bottom band doesn't have enough support – or a bottom band that digs because it is too compressive. Dragonwing's sports bras address these issues with a wide bottom band which is essential for support and straps that don't droop, slip or chafe. As well, Dragonwing has zeroed in on the amount of fabric on the back of their sports bras. It's a crucial element often missed by other teen athletic wear designers and serves an important functional purpose—it helps prevent back problems as active girls grow.
With a line of athletic sports gear like Dragonwing, girls can embrace their femininity and their athleticism without sacrificing the quality of the gear they wear and feel secure in the support their developing bodies need.

Some time ago, I wrote about how we are very bad at making cost vs. benefit decisions and illustrated it with the cost benefit of hybrid vehicles and later with the total energy consumption of hybrids. If you enjoyed those discussions, you might be interested in real test between a BMW and a Prius conducted by the London Times.
UK Top Gear did a comparison with BMW M3 vs Prius (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq9ilgw1plc), BMW seems better at fuel consumption, but the conclusion is how you drive makes the difference.
Interesting video. Of course the Prius is designed to do better in stop and go driving. I imagine it would have done significantly better if they were driving through town for an hour. The London Times specifically took a route that would have some city driving to help make the test more fair.
The comparison you link to is pretty meaningless for US readers.
According to the BMW USA website, they don't offer any vehicles with estimated MPG above 28 while Toyota estimates 46 MPG. 18 MPG is a pretty huge difference.
More interesting is that Europe has a much higher average fuel economy. 44 mpg vs 24 mpg in the US.
@Mitch – Also you have to keep in mind that the numbers the use are for Imperial gallons which is larger than a US gallon. And with diesel costing more than gasoline, the BMW might not be any cheaper to operate. According to BMW the diesel engines are supposed to be available in the US this year. BMW isn't the only automaker with diesel engines. I know of people with diesel VW mid sized cars who get 50 to 60 MPG when driving carefully.
Regarding better fuel economy in Europe, I have been told that the US regulations for emissions actually push the MPG down. I don't know exactly what is involved, but I've heard that cars that get 50 MPG in Europe only get 35 in the US because of additional equipment that is required to met EPA regulations.
This is a very difficult thing to calculate because it involves looking at the process for every part over the entire supply chain.
The other really big thing to consider is how many miles the car will be driven over its lifetime. BMWs generally last a very long time (I have one that is 22 years old that is still in good shape) and diesel engines are often capable of going 400,000 to 800,000 miles from what mechanics tell me.
In 10 years, I bet you'll see a much higher percentage of BMWs than Prius that were manufactured in 2008 still on the road.

Kirk Hammett Sings on Peter Green Tribute Song
Martin Kielty Published: January 30, 2020
Kevin Winter / Jo Hale, Getty Images
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett revealed that he sang on a new version of a classic early Fleetwood Mac song for an upcoming tribute to Peter Green.
The two guitarists met recently after Hammett recorded a version of "Man of the World" along with Mick Fleetwood. All three artists will be present at a tribute concert to Green in the U.K. next month, though the reclusive Green is not expected to perform.
"From what I can gather, [Green]'s more cognizant these days and much more even-keeled and leveled than he's been in decades," Hammett told Let There Be Talk in a recent episode. "We just go to talking about guitars and music. He likes to fish, and so next time I see him, I'm going to bring fishing rods. … And then I had the track that I recorded at Abbey Road Studios … 'Man of the World,' which is kind of a ballad."
Hammett added that he's "singing on it – it's an easy song to sing. It's got that talk-singing kind of thing; I can handle that. That's about the length of my singing abilities, but I'm into it." Explaining his approach to the track, a cover of a 1969 Fleetwood Mac tune, he said: "I just modernized the whole song, modernized it with modern tones, kind of like a more modern arrangement. I've made the uppity part heavy and dynamic."
You can listen to the interview below.
Hammett admitted he felt nervous playing the results to Green, who wrote and performed the original version, since he'd taken "a lot of liberties with it." "I played him the track, and right after it ended, he just looked at his friend and asked him something about the weather or something," Hammett recalled. "I didn't know if he liked it or not."
The friend was able to confirm "that Peter liked it, and he was able to determine that from Peter's body language," Hammett added.
He said the affirmation was like "a big sigh of relief. I didn't want to piss him off, and sometimes when we take liberties with other people's music, you just never know how they're gonna react. They might like it, they might hate it, but it seemed like he was very positive towards it."

Shay Edwards Wins 2007 California State Science Fair Competition
Edwards Presents Research at University of California and MIT
June 20, 2007 (Norco, CA ) — For the second year in a row, Corona Norco Unified School District sophomore Shay Edwards has won second place in the annual California State Science Fair.
His entry titled, Correlation of Thermographic Assessment of Vascular Reactions with BMI, Heart Rate and Stress was chosen from nearly 1000 middle and senior high school students during the final round of statewide competition.
In order to compete at the State level, students must first qualify at the regional level before advancing to the State Fair. Edwards won first place at the 4 county regional fair on April 18 qualifying him for the State competition for the 5th year in a row.
Not content to rest on his laurels, Shay accepted invitations from the University of California at San Francisco and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to participate in poster sessions summarizing his research. On June 12, Shay presented his work at the San Francisco campus of UC followed by a similar presentation at the Cambridge, MA campus of MIT in July. Shay's work was presented along with that of college undergraduates, graduate students and PhDs. Jim Seffrin, Director of Infraspection Institute attended the MIT session as Shay's mentor.
Shay describes his current and past science fair projects as follows: "Over the past five years all of my research projects have involved thermal imaging. In 2006 my research involved using a thermal imager to study the effects of cold stimulation on autonomic vascular reactions in humans. My 2007 research sought to correlate the same type of reactions with participants' Body Mass Index, heart rate and stress."
Infraspection Institute of Burlington, NJ has been providing support and guidance to Shay since his first science fair competition five years ago. Infraspection Institute's Director, Jim Seffrin, was particularly thrilled with Shay's accomplishments this year.
"Working with Shay has been a genuine pleasure. Shay is an intelligent and dedicated student. He carefully chooses his projects, never shrinks from a challenge and is meticulous in his fieldwork. We are proud to call Shay and his parents friends."
Shay continues, "I was invited to attend the Infraspection Institute's annual IR/INFO Conference once again this past January. Many of the IR/INFO Conference attendees participated as subjects in my research. I am very grateful for everyone's help. I am especially thankful to Infraspection Institute and Mr. Seffrin for all of his help throughout all of my projects."
If you wish to send a word of encouragement, or to request your images and assessment sheet, you may send Shay an e-mail.

Civil rights advocacy remains at the center of CAIR's work. CAIR has served more than 25,000 victims of discrimination since its founding. Our California offices receive a total of approximately 800 inquiries a year and work to resolve them through mediation, negotiation, public pressure or, if necessary, through legal action. Our services are often provided free of charge to the community.If you believe that you or someone you know has been the victim of any of the following forms of discrimination, please report it by filling out this form.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibit discrimination by an employer against employees on the basis of religion, race, sex or national origin, and also provides employees with reasonable religious accommodations at the workplace. Employees who have faced discrimination have faced such issues as hostility toward their religious beliefs, race, or national origin from co-workers or managers; retaliation after complaining about discrimination; and wrongful termination.
FBI Visits & Interaction with Law Enforcement
CAIR has received many complaints from community members who have been approached by federal law enforcement officials for voluntary questioning. Such cases are important to document to shed light on the subjective effect broad-based law enforcement investigations and profiling have on community members.
A hate crime is a criminal offense committed against a person, property, or society that is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against the victim's race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin.
Hate crimes can take many forms and have included such acts as: vandalizing a mosque or place of worship, an office of a religious organization, or a person's property; desecrating a religious symbol or property with the intent to terrorize; and acts of violence or threats of violence against a person due to their perceived race, ethnicity, religion or any other protected characteristic.
Hate Incident
A hate incident is an action that is motivated by bias but that does not rise to the level of a crime. A common example of a hate incident is the distribution of flyers with a racist or otherwise hateful message. Another example commonly cited is of a woman wearing a headscarf who is subject to slurs and insults on the street. Although in many instances, the First Amendment protects the elements of hate speech involved in these incidents, by documenting them, CAIR-LA helps shed light on how easy and common it is to openly express hateful messages about Islam and Muslims. Documenting these incidents further illuminates the vitriol with which members of the Muslim community must contend from the general public.
The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA) provides that the government may not impose a substantial burden on the religious practice of an inmate unless it demonstrates that the burden is 1) in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and 2) is the most narrowly tailored means of achieving that interest. California law and the official policies of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation also allow inmates access to meals that comply with religious dietary restriction, religious garb and religious articles. Additionally, complaints from inmates about behavior from guards and prison personnel which violates correctional policy and the civil rights of inmates are categorized as misconduct.
According to the Unruh Civil Rights Act, all residents of the state of California are entitled to equal access to places of public accommodation, including restaurants, clubs, retail shops, and other businesses. When members of the Muslim community are denied access to places of public accommodation, their complaints are categorized here.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines bullying as "unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance." California has especially stringent protections against bullying in general and biased-based bullying in particular. When Muslim youth report instances of teasing at school, pulling of headscarves, and ostracizing or physical violence from their peers, their complaints are categorized as school bullying.
Cases involving delays at the border, questioning about protected First Amendment activities, regular selection for secondary screening, and mistreatment from Transportation Security Administration or airline personnel are categorized here.

Have you ever thought of enrolling in distance learning courses? Sometimes you may feel discouraged to come study in Europe because of the bureaucratic procedures you have to go through to obtain, for example, a study visa. Some other times it is the fact that you may not be able to afford your staying in another country what makes you veer away from studying abroad in Europe. No matter what your reason is, the good news is that you can still study in Europe without leaving your home: why not enrolling in distance learning courses?
While distance learning courses might be an option for many of you, you have to think that not all degrees can be studied through distance learning. You should also think of one disadvantage all distance learning courses share: social isolation. The interaction among students and teachers is done online, which may be a negative side as you may loose one of the most important parts of your life as a student: social interaction with other people.

Recently, our team completed work on a lighting project for an elite night club "A CLUB" in Spiez (Switzerland). The task was interesting - we had to emphasise the luxury of a VIP club with classical-style lighting that would harmoniously fit into the luxurious interior of a modern night club.
Having studied the interior and having discussed the details with the customer, it was decided to use lamps from different collections - depending on the design and purpose of the room, different styles of lamps and chandeliers were used. We also understood that for a nightclub the task of the lamps was not to brightly illuminate, but rather to complement the atmosphere with a soft light, and this was taken into account when calculating the light power of each chandelier and built-in lamp.

Musician, Aaron Hanania uses his personal story and journey of becoming a musician as a mode of inspiration for others. Hanania, 18, was born in Ekaterinburg, Russia, a place where opportunity is scarce. At the age of two, he was adopted and brought to the United States. He was two years behind in language, so he had to catch up to his peers. That barrier did not stop him. "Having such a unique background is something I am grateful for. It is something I am proud of. It makes me, me," Hanania said. By 8th grade, Hanania had yet to discover his true passions. "I was like many of my fellow peers: lost. I had no clue what I really wanted to do with my life. I lived each day as it's own and my goal at that time was to get through Junior High. Adult-ing was not a concept I had in mind," Hanania said. Hanania began to discover his passions during his freshman year of high school. He enjoyed interviewing local celebrities and writing newspaper articles about them. "For sure, when I interviewed Cub's first baseman, Anthony Rizzo, I knew I loved being able to meet people and write stories," Hanania said. Although everything seemed to be going well, Hanania points out that that was not the case. "What a lot of people don't know is that right as I was about to interview Rizzo, I was notified that my grandfather passed away. It was not an easy feat to conduct that interview, but I definitely think I learned how to control my emotions very well in that moment," Hanania said. Hanania was unaware that news writing would not be his only passion. During his Junior year, he challenged himself to write an entire novel. "Junior year [of high school] was when I started to unearth my creative writing passion. I told myself one morning that I wanted to write a novel, and I made it happen. It was a completely foergin style of writing, but I loved every minute of it. That was when I realized that creative writing came naturally to me and that I enjoyed doing it," Hanania said. From there, Hanania ventured into free-verse poetry. He found it as a way to express his thoughts about abstract concepts. "When I first started poetry, I was in my senior year. A poet came to my high school and I attended his workshop and something clicked. From that point on, I was never the same. I never enjoyed poetry until that workshop. Seeing and experiencing the art of poetry in a different form allowed me to fall in love with it. Sometimes you have to look at something with a different mindset in order to appreciate it," Hanania said. Shortly after venturing into poetry, Hanania made the leap into music. "I remember the exact moment when I found out that I liked making music. The story starts when I bought an acoustic guitar back in 2014. It sat for four years collecting dust in my room. One day I decided I wanted to try to learn "Country Roads" by John Denver. I taught myself the chord progression, but it was not easy for me as I play left handed, I had to reverse every chord. From there I started to sing, and I was horrible at it, but I had fun doing it," Hanania said. Within due time, Hanania penned his first song, which he never released. "My first song ever, with lyrics, was a song called, "I Knew the Truth," and I honestly don't really know why I wrote it, but it was literally two chords. Looking back at it, I laugh but that song served as the gateway to my career," Hanania said. Within six months, Hanania mastered his playing style. "I went from knowing nothing to being able to write songs on the spot in only six months. I think that rigorous practice really helped me to learn quickly, and my ability to teach myself came in clutch," Hanania said. It was not until June of 2019 when Hanania began to share his songs publically on SoundCloud, a popular app among aspiring artists. "I did what a lot of people did: SoundCloud. It was a place where I could share my music for free and gain a following. But above all, publishing my music sparked a passion, a drive, to continue pushing myself to make more music," Hanania said. By August, Hanania had five followers on SoundCloud. "It was horrible. I honestly thought more people would hear my stuff, but that didn't stop me. It helped me to realize the reality of my situation and the reality of the industry. I was just a random guy from Chicago putting random songs out there. There were millions of people like me. I knew at that moment that I needed to take another leap and seperate myself from the millions," Hanania said. Hanania spent two months searching for other outlets and then he found Spotify. "When I saw that I could put music on Spotify, I had that 'aha' moment. I first had to find a distributor and that process was rather tedious. I never realized what a challenge it would be to find a distributor. "They" make it difficult for people like myself to get into the ears of other people. But, then I found DistroKid," Hanania said. By mid-October, Hanania released his debut album, "Deep Space" onto two dozen music platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, GooglePlay, iHeartRadio, iTunes and others. "It is hard to describe what that moment felt like for me. It was many months of hard work finally paying off for me. It was my new dream coming true. I say new because just last year [2018] I had yet to write a song and now my music is all over the world," Hanania said. By November, Hanania had 40 followers and nearly 1,000 streams on Spotify alone. "It was remarkable. To be able to share my music with other people, I cannot express what it means to me. I make music with the hopes that someone else hears it and finds my story, a story marked by roadblock after roadblock. And, I hope, that my story inspires other people to really push themselves to try new things," Hanania said. Hanania shows no signs of slowing down. He posts updates on his music Instagram page with the caption: "we are only getting started." "In life, it's vital to constantly reach higher and try harder. Music is no different. The followers don't just come up to you. It's up to you to gain followers, it's up to you to wake up every day with the hopes that something great will happen. If you don't do that, it's impossible to be successful," Hanania said. "I came from a place where opportunity is almost impossible, to a place where there is nothing but opportunity. I never take that for granted. I live every day thinking about that. I wake up every day with the goal to impact others, and poetry and music is how I do that," Hanania said.

After announcing their return earlier this year, acclaimed Detroit group Clear Soul Forces are officially back with their new single/video, "They Shootin," off their much anticipated upcoming LP, Still.
Directed by the crew at Xerox Vision, the visuals serve as a reintroduction of sorts. It follows a period where the group members—Ilajide, E-Fav, LAZ, and Noveliss—took some time off to pursue solo work and release some notable projects on their own. Now that they're back as a unit, CSF are demonstrating with "They Shootin" exactly why they've been one of the underground's most heralded acts of the past decade or so.
His fellow group members share that sentiment while noting that it was only natural to reference gaming on the stellar "They Shootin." They all point out that they were children of the '90s, a generation when most kids had consoles in their homes growing up. It was also a time when crime remained rampant in their hometown, making a track like this an organic result of their shared experiences.
Check out the visuals and head over to SoundCloud for the track stream, which may be purchase for digital download via Bandcamp. Mark your calendars for the Feb 22 release of Still, which will be available on vinyl in addition to all digital retailers and streaming platforms via Fat Beats Records.

Roses Gabor joined Mikill as a special guest co-host for one week only whilst Marcel was away, and her and Mikill discussed her new album, which is coming out in February 2019. The first guest in the studio was Javeon, who was in to talk about his new music, but also seemed to spend most of his time correcting the way Mikill and the team pronounced his name (think Javeon like 'raving'). Also on the show was Kaniva, who was in to talk about his new release 'OK', and shared the story of how he overcame being on life support with meningitis. Finally, Mercston was in the studio and teased an unreleased collaboration with Mikill!


WMI Script gives the complete list of all the remote users (logged off users also). I need only the current remote users.
I wanted to get all the current remote users of the supplied IP address of any machine.
I have a WMI script for that as follows. However this script gives me the complete history of users, but I want to get the list of current users.
Also, I would like to get like task manager/ user tab where I can find out ID (Eg. 1,2..) and status. The objSession.LogonId printing is a huge number as shown in the output.
Wscript.Echo "No interactive user found"
Output of this script is as follows. All the users listed in the output are not current users (logged off), so the result I am getting is not good to use.
is there a speicific reason for making your own script?
you can use the toosl called psLoogedOn from Sysinternals PsTools.
it can give you´the currently logged onusers, it can even use a text file for compuitername, or ip ranges.
but if you need it as a script, i can try take a look at your problem.
Thanks very much for your reply. I am developing a utility to remotely connect to user machines, so suppose user machine itself is a remote desktop instance, then I have to prompt all the remote users connected to that machine in order to identify the required instance.
The problem here is it is showing all the users which are connected and disconnected to this machine (Past and present). I need only the current existing users.
It would be a huge help for me, if you can spare some time and resolve it.
i have tested on my systems, and i cannot even get the list.
Hope you are getting "Count of logons" as some number. Please note that the LogonType = 10 is for remote users, so make sure that the computer you are testing should have some remote users.
WScript.Echo "User" & VBTab & "SessionID"
WScript.Echo "====" & VBTab & "========="
It is working fine. Thanks very much for your help.
One final question I have, is there any way I can find out whether this session active or disconnected?
I use the following powershell script to invoke psloggedon from sysinternals.
$Computer = Read-Host "Enter name of computer to check"
What version of terminal serivces / windows server are you running?
My test machine is windows 2003 server. Also I had tested this in Win7 64 bit also. I hope the script will work on all the windows OSs.


Polyploidy occurs when a cell or an organism has more than two sets of homologous chromosomes. This can be the result of failure to undergo nuclear division after DNA replication. Polyploidy differs from aneuploidy in that aneuploidy refers to when a cell or an organism has too few or too many chromosomes.

Zymosan is prepared (Pillemer, L. and Ecker, E.E., (1941)) from actively growing yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). After removal of cellular contents the isolated cell walls remain. This is zymosan and it is primarily composed of the highly cross-linked polysaccharides alpha-D-mannan, beta-D-glucan, and other minor polysaccharide polymers. Fresh zymosan, and especially zymosan stored as a dried powder, must be activated to develop its full complement-activating activity (Minta, J., 1983). This is done by refluxing zymosan in saline at 100oC for two hours. This process has been performed for customers on the zymosan offered by CompTech and it is sold as a pre-activated suspension in saline. The product has been shown to be stable for four years if kept frozen. It is stable at 4oC for several months if not contaminated by microbial growth.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama has expanded his national lead over Republican John McCain in the presidential race to 10 points, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
Obama leads McCain 52 percent to 42 percent among likely U.S. voters in the latest three-day tracking poll, up from an 8-point advantage for Obama on Tuesday. The telephone poll has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.
It was the third consecutive day Obama gained ground on McCain as the two begin the final sprint to the November 4 election.
The 10-point lead was the first time Obama's advantage over McCain, an Arizona senator, reached double-digits in the poll. Obama's lead had floated between 2 and 6 points in the more than two weeks of polling until stretching to 8 points on Tuesday.
Obama made gains with two key swing voting blocs. His advantage with independent voters grew to a whopping 27 points from 15 points and his edge with women voters grew to 16 points from 13.
Obama, an Illinois senator, led among all age groups and in every income group except for the most wealthy voters. He now has the support of 21 percent of self-described conservatives — his best showing with those voters.
McCain narrowly trails Obama by 2 percentage points among men and saw his lead among whites drop to 6 points from 9 points, 50 percent to 44 percent.
The poll, taken Sunday through Tuesday, showed independent Ralph Nader, Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney and Libertarian Bob Barr each registering 1 percent support.
Three percent of voters remain undecided.
The rolling tracking poll surveyed 1,208 likely voters in the presidential election. In a tracking poll, the most recent day's results are added while the oldest day's results are dropped to monitor changing momentum.
The president is determined by who wins the Electoral College, which has 538 members apportioned by population in each state and the District of Columbia. Electoral votes are allotted on a winner-take-all basis in all but two states, which divide them by congressional district.

The Times Diary (TMS): The Archers' discarded actors resort to voodoo, Jonathan Powell and the kitchen knife cabinet and betting on George Osborne's fashion statement
Tuesday December 02 2014, 12.01am, The Times
If David and Ruth leave the Archers, that will be the final straw
That vodoo that they do
One of the joys of The Archers is that no one talks about Ukip in the Bull, even though there was that influx of Hungarians a while back. Ambridge does not lack its grumblers, however. The Radio 4 soap's recent spate of exiling, killing, recasting or just silencing characters has dismayed many of its actors. (And if David and Ruth leave that will be the final straw for the listeners too.)
I'm told that some of the discarded or benched actors are now setting up a support group called Ambridge's Replaced Stars Emporium (the acronym reveals their mood), with the motto: Wither Ambridge. They will hold their first dinner next month at which Sean "Slasher" O'Connor, the programme's editor, will

Q: Using sqlite3_load_extension with a windows DLL Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here?
I'm using C++ bulder 10.2 (clang compiler). From IDE menu I've selected File|New|Dynamic Link Library and chosen compile as C with no dependencies. I've then added sqliteFcts.c and made the sqliteFcts.dll library. It all compiles fine.
Contents of sqliteFcts.c.
#include <sqlite3ext.h>

SQLITE_EXTENSION_INIT1

#ifdef _WIN32
__declspec(dllexport)
#endif

int sqlite3_sqliteFcts_init(
  sqlite3 *db,
  char **pzErrMsg,
  const sqlite3_api_routines *pApi
){
  int rc = SQLITE_OK;
  SQLITE_EXTENSION_INIT2(pApi);

  return rc;
}

// My code is above. Code below was created by the IDE
#pragma argsused
int _libmain(unsigned long reason)
{
  return 1;
}

From my own app I try to use the dll with the following code
int rc;

sqlite3_db_config(db,SQLITE_DBCONFIG_ENABLE_LOAD_EXTENSION,1,&rc);

rc=sqlite3_load_extension(db,"C:/temp/sqliteFcts.dll",0,&buf);

I get the error message "The specified procedure could not be found". From what I've read windows expects _libmain to be the Entry Point but sqlite expects sqlite3_sqliteFcts_init to b e the Entry Point and I've no idea how to resolve that or if that is even the problem.

A: I finally got it working but with a loose end.
Firstly in this line
rc=sqlite3_load_extension(db,"C:/temp/sqliteFcts.dll",0,&buf);

I supplied a null for the 3rd parameter (the entry point) thinking sqlite would resolve this however sqlite would've supplied sqlite3_sqlitefcts_init (note lower case f) as the entry point so, inevitably, the function wouldn't be found. The line should read
rc=sqlite3_load_extension(db,"C:/temp/sqliteFcts.dll","sqlite3_sqliteFcts_init",&buf);

That said, it still didn't work. After advice I received on the sqlite forum I downloaded Dependency Walker and found the function listed as _sqlite3_sqliteFcts_init (note opening underscore) although I've no idea why. Anyway, I changed the above line to
rc=sqlite3_load_extension(db,"C:/temp/sqliteFcts.dll","_sqlite3_sqliteFcts_init",&buf);

and it worked. That was for a 32 bit implementation. I later discovered that when it was compiled as a 64 bit app the opening underscore wasn't required. If anyone can throw any light on this quirk I'd be grateful.

Q: Prevent webpage view to go in mobile view when size is reduced beyond a certain limit I have a webpage, which goes into mobile view when browser size is reduced.
In all divs, I've set col-lg- , col-md- and col-xs- to the same values, for example:

I don't want the divs to stack one above the other in mobile-view. Instead, I want them to remain the same size as in md devices and inline, with a scroll-bar added.
How can I achieve this?

A: Tejasi Latkar, Hi there. Have a look at this Fiddle.
And the screenshot below.
It seems that you just want to keep the same width for all views be it large or small screens... is this right?
In this demo I have set up some examples.
As you can see you can stop these divs from stacking when viewed on a small screen.
Please use this fiddle to show us what you mean if it is not what you want.
